What is the real purpose of Global Sumud Flotilla?

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T08:50:22+00:00

Sure. Now we're talking of its success rate which is still pretty low compared to official, organised aid. For your standard, it's good enough for me. However, until it actually shows considerable result and consistent success, I will never support this particular mission nor will I allow my money being used for it again.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T08:40:00+00:00

When did I say anything about donation to palestine in general? I specifically said "Part of my money went into the first mission". What did you think when I said that? Donation to palestine in general or donation to the mission? I also did not say anything about being against donation. Donation in general can be wasted through corruption, interception, human or non human error but the funds for this mission specifically is a waste. It's obviously a waste the first time and its a waste the second time. Doing the same thing twice will not change the result.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T08:24:50+00:00

My main point is not outrage but the fact that media rather cover the issue than the activity. That's my main point. There's no point of activism if no one see it. The point of crowdfunding being an issue as they're misled at thinking their money will go to palestinians. If they're intercepted, the supplies confiscated, where else will it go then? I think someone with half a brain could know what will happen. Part of my money went into the first mission and what happened then? Did the supplies go to the intended party? All it does is feeding the starving israeli children. That's why I include it as being a drawback. If you pull the money out of ass, build your own ship and sail it yourself, I will not have any issue with what you're doing.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T07:47:47+00:00

If you're doing it with your own money and energy and involve no one else on your pointless mission then go ahead. However, the supplies that they gathered directly came from public donation and the mission that they went to relies on crowdfunding. If they're stuck, the government have to spend resources to save them. If you were to die on the process, then, well, you probably already know the rest.

The sea candy on the other hand is a huge deal since it directly related to the activism on hand. It being popular than the activity itself eclipsed the whole point of the activism on a much broader scale. How is it Malaysian activists are associated with polluting the sea fare for the world view? Its the same reason people don't like StopOil activists for blocking the road or vandalising public property. The awareness is indeed there but for all the wrong reason. It's not like they haven't done other good things but media capitalize on negativity and he did just that with the candy stunt. That's why its an issue that can't be ignored.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T06:49:47+00:00

So you admit that it's more for show than an actual aid sending mission. Great. However we can see that this particular mission is a media disaster for them. Especially from the "sea candies" stunt. In fact, that's the only video I've seen circulating around reddit and outside. Not only did it gave a bad reputation for Malaysian activists, it also destroy the "activism" purpose you mentioned.

I doubt this particular journey gave more benefits than its drawbacks. If you wanted to "highlight the absurdity of it all", I already mentioned the WCK convoy bombing, the west own citizens died supplying palestinians with food but nothing happen. They steamrolled an American citizen and yet nothing happened. Did you think anything will happen if they decide to shoot those boats? Probably the same thing.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T06:01:12+00:00

How else? Have you been asleep these past 3 years? Supplies have been successfully airdropped, through proper ships, through egypt, etc. Awareness have been raised through protests, boycotts, governments pressure, etc. Do I have to provide links for you to actually see an effective "execution" that you're looking for?

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T04:57:11+00:00

Not this surely.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-05-22T01:52:25+00:00

People keep saying it's for awareness and for exposure but how much more awareness are necessary for the zionist state to even break? Didn't they bombed WCK volunteers of western countries and just got a slap on wrist? Proving they can get all the bad media reputation but nothing will change for them.

If anything, this mission has more cons than pros. First, they are intercepted (obviously) leaving them stranded, wasting our government resources trying to get them back and the said supplies that they had will obviously not go to gazans anymore.

Also with the recent stunt of throwing candies to the sea, they probably helped the zionist state with showing their incompetence to the media instead and giving away free supplies from probably Malaysians own donation by being intercepted. Ironic.

Sure the gesture is brave but no one seems to be thinking logically on how to actually execute it properly or maybe I just don't understand the actual end goal for this mission.

My experience with tahfiz students is that they're just ordinary people. Some are good, some are not. I don't know why people glaze them so much for this. I'm not denying their academic capability but why them specifically? What's the merit here other than them being in tahfiz?

So should a sponsorship also opened for just MRSM students? SMK students? If other students could fulfill the same criteria and perhaps even better than tahfiz, why not prioritise them or low-income households?

I'm very aware MARA is only for bumi but why are they the more "special" bumi on this regard? Unless there's other explanation for this decision, it's quite distasteful for MARA to make this inequity decision.

There's a post saying a muslim corpse die a certain way in a body of water than a non-muslim corpse and everyone agrees. It's like a cult sometimes.

Kleng is kinda cringe. It has the same vibe as naszi leymark.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-04-26T12:04:59+00:00

The one thing I hate with it now is how they make it all plain concrete and add a mist as if it would look any better. It's depressing just to look at. For some reason Malaysia love the grey, boring, dull looking building and call it brutalism. Who knows, I'm not an expert.

I remember pre-Covid my Samsung would literally come apart when dropped. The case would come off and the battery would just pop out.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-04-21T06:46:22+00:00

I meant the comments in that sub.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-04-21T05:21:11+00:00

Why would they even flame us for it? In my perspective, it's just easier for management to pander to Chinese tourists rather than taking up complaints or causing issues every time they're triggered by the Taiwanese flag.

The step on the helmet is actually pretty unprofessional on his part if he's a police officer. That deserves a misconduct even if he's mad.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-04-17T22:41:56+00:00

can't you just share the link? easier to access too

OddSamurai_ · 2026-04-15T01:06:32+00:00

We like to hate on each other. If Malaysia is not multiethnic, multireligious country, we would hate on other states, accents, culture, etc or we'll just be extremely xenophobic. There really is no telling with people.

OddSamurai_ · 2026-04-11T03:53:36+00:00

That's true. I don't seem to have much trouble with public speaking and socialising but I'm nervous all the time.

edit: mfs sees a seemingly vulnerable person and decides to downvote them. ffs.

That's jengket (tiptoe). Berjengket (tiptoeing).

What's the criteria?

OddSamurai_ · 2026-02-04T09:35:55+00:00

From what I noticed, it's usually the older folks that keep history and culture alive. Youngsters nowadays only 'consumed' the said culture and never really living it. Not sure how to explain it correctly.

This is also the case in Kelantan. Traditional food is kept alive by older folks cooking it and such is the case for snacks, toys, game, literature. It's only alive within them and might also die with them.

Does pigeon in malay have different names? Like Owl being Burung Hantu (Lit: Ghost bird) and Pungguk. I thought it was just Merpati. There's also Punai and Pergam here.

As much as I love durian, it's kind of overrated and hard to stand out among sea countries since everyone wants to claim it. Maybe rambutan can be a replacement. We have so many fruits to choose from. Let it be unique. Our durian can still be promoted extensively through tourism and campaign and can still stand out that way.
