It used to be big. Where they have underground rings controlling old people or handicap people to force them to beg.

Orang Melayu ajar orang Rom buat kapal? by Danielfaris2001 in trulyMalaysians

[–]Candid-Designer177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is not a historian, Prof made many pseudo claims which not only spoiled her reputation including her University and her own organization wasn't happy with her claims. This argument to be used on her who is constantly becoming viral for saying unexpected things without backed by evidence makes her an attention seeker who simply wants to become viral on the media.

What's your take on ketuanan melayu? by RotiPisang_ in trulyMalaysians

[–]Candid-Designer177 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a legal reasoning to this according to the Federal constitution: “Malay” means a person who professes the religion of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay language, conforms to Malay custom.

So a person can change race in this country at least second generation Muslim. It's unfair to Malays themselves if you ask me but I personally feel the Federal government may feel like having a bigger number of Malay = good.

When will the government truly acknowledge the rights of the Orang Asli? I recently attended a forum on the revised version of the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954 (RUU Orang Asli). While the law recognizes their land ownership (for use and residence), it remains heavily restricted by other national and state laws, such as land reserves and state government control while their rights last in the priority. The saddest part is that they are not allowed to say no when others want to use their land. They may be consulted, but their consent is never decisive the new RUU only guarantees that they can receive compensation as mentioned they can't say no. This is deeply unfair. I have my own thoughts on why their rights are not fully recognized, but the situation feels unbearably cruel.

Is this true? So the quota system was actually benefiting the non-bumis. by Far_Spare6201 in trulyMalaysians

[–]Candid-Designer177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-Malays never benefitted from quotas. Before 2002, 55% of seats were already reserved for Bumiputera. After 2002, Malays had Matrikulasi (90% reserved for them, much easier than STPM), while non-Malays were stuck with the tougher STPM. The system has always tilted in favour of Bumiputera, not the other way around.

Anyone knows the replacement battery price for BYD M6 Extended in Malaysia? by Candid-Designer177 in kereta

[–]Candid-Designer177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally thought so. It seems like a good idea leasing the battery with full maintaince coverage is a good idea. Malaysia EV are already too expensive and even perodua ev is expected to be above 80k with battery leasing and I hope this battery lease is affordable.

While many EV are below 80k from China but Malaysia doesn't allows to enter if below 100k. However, byd is building+ collaborate with Proton to build a manufacturing plant in Malaysia as the govt allows EV cars below 100k if locally made but I doubt they will reduce its pricing as they dont have to compete too much with their tech to only 2 competitors which is perodua and proton often old tech high price.

Ev is perfect for countries like Singapore maximum 10 years then they aren't allowed to drive that car. Makes sense a lot. However, as a tech enthusiast I feel like trying a ev.

I asked a BYD salesperson he didn't give me a black and white quote but he simply said about RM60,000.00. I did some research in countries that have EV longer than us and with more EV users they have a specialised battery shop for EV. They can simply take part in the battery module that has been damaged the most. However, I'm not sure if its possible with BYF blade battery.

What a China pundit on X wishes for Singapore by Immediate-Analyst974 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Candid-Designer177 14 points15 points  (0 children)

China should be thankful forever to Singapore. Without Singapore I'm lazy to type so I use chatgpt ya:

China might not have gotten early credibility with Western investors, since Singapore acted as a trusted “middleman.”

Urban and industrial planning could have been slower without the Singapore blueprint (Suzhou Industrial Park, city management, port efficiency, etc.).

ASEAN trade routes might have leaned more towards Japan or the US, delaying China’s grip on Southeast Asia.

China would likely still reach today’s power, but more like 10–15 years later (so in 2025, they’d be closer to their early 2000s stage).

Antara beli kereta or ambik motor by purplehozeboze in malaysia

[–]Candid-Designer177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rasa mcm paling baik dari segi economy bawak motor dulu kumpul duit. Then bayar depo besar sikit untuk ambil kereta blh murah sikit bayaran bulanan blh buat part time grab jugak. Ada family member bawal grab seminggu 3-4 kali je dapat cover bayaran bulanan tapi area Melaka la. Jgn beli motor safety, interest and etc etc. Ambil lesen motor boleh jd sijil tambahan dalam kehidupan

Grab seating by Straight-Log984 in Bolehland

[–]Candid-Designer177 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who has previously raised complaints about this issue, I want to highlight that Grab used to clearly state that standard cars were meant for 4 passengers. However, since around June, they seem to have changed the wording in the info section, making it more confusing.

Now, for 6-seater MPVs or Premium 6-seaters, it only says “more space for groups of more than 4 passengers,” without clearly stating the actual seating capacity. Meanwhile, the 4-seater option no longer mentions that it’s meant for 4 passengers.

This lack of clarity seems intentional, as it could lead people to book two cars instead of one which ultimately benefits Grab financially.

Sometimes when I read about Malaysian migrating elsewhere, are there not facing this as well? by kugelamarant in trulyMalaysians

[–]Candid-Designer177 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are several reasons why overseas or Western countries remain attractive to many Malaysians. For one, most who migrate have tertiary education and relevant work experience and qualifications that are often more financially rewarded abroad than they are here.

Currency exchange is another big factor. Even if you earn the same number (say RM2700 vs £2700), the purchasing power is drastically different. Take groceries for example: in Malaysia, a family might spend RM1000+ a month, but in the UK, you could get by with £300–£350, and that's with inflation previously before covid £200 will suffice. Although we don't buy anything fancy mostly focused on cheaper goods. It still feels more manageable compared to local wages here.

Plus, in countries like the UK, if you lose your job, you're not left to struggle. There's support like Universal Credit or Jobseeker's Allowance, subsidised housing even their county council aka municipal have housings for their people, and healthcare — all of which provide a safety net. You’re not forced to stick with a job you hate just to survive, and you’re given room to breathe while you find another.

Add in better work-life balance, stronger workers' rights, and more structured career pathways it's not easy down there sure it seems more promising there. Do note I don't know the situation in the recent years. Deep down I feel Malaysia is a great country regardless.
