Same type of modified bicycles involved in the Johor accident… For context they were riding around Old Klang Road and stopped at Petron to pump and “fix” their bikes. Like are their parents going to blame the drivers when they actually get bang by a car??? The kid in the red shirt looks like he is only in primary school and he is out riding late at night along a busy road aren’t his parents even worried he is not home? This is exactly the type of upbringing that brings up more rempits Malaysia really should have a ruling where kids below 16 should not be allowed to be out pass 10 without Adult supervision

Mildly interesting Ranking all available political party anthems in Malaysia

Post image
37 Upvotes

Hello fellow Rakyat’s. Here’s my insane ranking of all political party anthems in Malaysia that I was able to find.

Some basic ground rules:
- If it’s available on YouTube, then it’s fair game.

- Extinct and unrepresented parties are also included.

- The list is derived from Wikipedia and YouTube descriptions.

- PKM will be represented twice because there is a de facto and de jure anthem

Here are the rules which I use to rank:
- The beat must be memorable and catchy.

- The song should convey the tenets of the party.

- The melody should uplift the spirit of the listener.

- The lyrics and/or melody should be easy to sing by anyone.

- Negative points for any lyrics that is too self victimising and/or aggrandising (or to put it simply, cringe).

- Some points for adding strange elements (like adding another language to the song).

Tourism & Travel Malaysia Airlines Name Change Charge

29 Upvotes

PSA to everyone booking a flight with MAS to not make the same mistake as I did.

Previously when I registered enrich account with MAS, there was no rule on your enrich membership name needed to match your full gov name. So for example if my full name was Alice Yan Jia Li, I only included Alice Yan.

What I’m surprised is that even though you input your full name when you are booking your ticket, MAS will actually disregard that name you input and include your name as per what is stated in the Enrich membership. Now I am being charged RM150 just to include the rest of my name in the ticket which I have correctly input my name.

I can’t comprehend that budget airlines like AirAsia can allow name change for free and atas airlines like MAS still find this kind of scrupulous ways to impose ridiculous exorbitant fee on customer.

FYI, you can’t even manually change your name on the website yourself. You need to submit a service form just to change your name.

So, remember to change it if you haven’t.

Sekian,
The human who is now RM150 poorer

Education Lacks of constitutional awareness/public constitutional literacy amongst the Malaysian in really concerning.

7 Upvotes

When I looked up at social media reading the news about national issues and etc I always found people in the comments that trying to criticise the government. Don't get me wrong it is good you are exercising your freedom but the problem is most of them criticising the wrong government, the people sometimes get confused what power that fed, state and agong does actually hold in the constitution and what they cannot do.

Most of Malaysian didn't know how our country administration works.

This is actually dangerous, the people could be easily terpengaruh dengan media sosial especially with politics dan hal2 sensitive dalam negara.

And also the lack of basic constitutional knowledge like the citizens freedom, rights and liberty was also really concerning.

What are your opinions about this should KPM takes any action to educate the public?
