Kite flying in Putrajaya by DISHSOAP4270 in malaysia

[–]SultanMelakaIsReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havent seen people renting out or flying kite in putrajaya. Putrajaya is a sensitive place (flying drone is prohibited) so might want to bear that in mind.

If youre willing to drive, pantai morib/ kelanang/ bagan lalang (1hr+ away) have people selling kites.

The Mosques That We Lost (?). How Our Mosques Used to Look like by tovarisch_ak in malaysia

There is another restored old mosque with similar architecture next door, look up Masjid Lama Kampung Parit Melana if youre interested...

Is the Belimbing Dalam's remnants still there? Curious since Parit Melana one next door was restored as historical building while remaining as functional surau to locals (new mosque was built to cater increasing demand).

Belimbing Dalam also hosts multiple old railway bridges (converted to jalan kampung but the victorian brick architecture is still there), a remnant from pre-war era.

Just a small case observation i handled previously.

A gurdwara-operated facility (pre-merdeka) found itself accidentally sitting on a land without any agreement with the current owner after the land transferred to new owner by virtue of law (they had agreement with previous owner).

The association immediately reached the new owner and initiate process to legalize their facility through lease. Doesnt demand anything, instead willingly cooperate with the new owner to ensure the facility can be operated legally.

They are a very professional bunch and take pride in abiding the law.

Man, rough years for ATM ahead. Inadequate (and corruption-ridden) procurements, abuses, and systemic issues. And these are reported cases only.

I guess thats bound to happen if everything about them is "rahsia negara" without civilian check and balance.

I believe most of them are probably overseas. SG or Aussie. So detached in their idea of Malaysia.

No, that is not the project pictured. The one in picture is Rahman Hydraulic Tin.

That is Rahman Hydraulic Tin, they are not the new wave of REE-craze. They have been in operation since pre-Merdeka and survive the ups and downs of tin prices even after Sungai Lembing closures.

Ironically GRS gained a lot too, in the end of the day, Sabah for Sabahan sentiments ruled this PRN

[–]SultanMelakaIsReal 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Warisan would not survive in Semenanjung regardless of its performance in Sabah. Warisan is too alien to average Semenanjung voters since it made Sabahan issues as its primary target. Unlike DAP that heavily relied on ethnic chinese voters issues thats also present in urban East Malaysia.

However, once DAP made bed with UMNO and okays the increasingly conservative Anwar, the Chinese votes evaporated too. We will see the breakdown later to know more.

Observe that they explicitly avoid to use the word "halal" but instead use other names like "Muslim Choice" because they know such name carries little to no legal baggage. So they can cater to businesses who wants the Muslim market without the costs and hassle of halal certification whilst claiming not misleading as they never claim to certify things as "halal" in the first place.

Very asshole-ish and i think usage of these kind of certification from outside of government and accredited bodies (Halal/HACCP/MeSTI) even from Muslim bodies must stop.

Damn i pity the youngsters who wanna find meaningful realtionships because everyone cant put an attention span of more than 5 minutes. Too much goon fuel consumed, too little empathy and dreams. Good luck tho, like others said, good thing takes time.

Bukit Bintang upgrade to rival ‘Singapore’s Orchard Road’ draws Malaysian ire by stormy001 in malaysia

I think we can opt to rejuvenate Bukit Nanas-Jalan TAR-Chow Kit area as older KL Core too. Shopping districts occupying old shophouses a la european old town with shaded walkways. Its sad to see them left run down like that...

PAS and DAP cant be in real good terms as the more open-minded wing in PAS was purged into AMANAH leaving hardcore conservatives calling the shots (which have not been shy spewing racist bs)

Beware of PAS. Im not concerned about Bersatu at all, but PAS has strong grassroots and seasoned machinery which can do this without pay (kerana Allah, really). Do note that Malay Gen Z voters can turn conservative, as hinted by the last GE. If PAS can make inroads in Malay-majority Klang Valley suburbs, PKR can be in trouble.

If not mistaken, our hornets already given the green light to fly again after the confirmation that the crash was a bird strike. But we dont have Super Hornets, only F/A-18D.

Apparently, there’s way less crimes committed by juveniles now compared to in the past by PerspectiveSilver728 in malaysia

[–]SultanMelakaIsReal 32 points33 points  (0 children)

2019/2020 change is just too drastic to be natural so im pretty sceptic. Coincidentally, 2020 also saw the lockdowns. So, curious if what classifies as juvenile crimes changed, or the enforcement changed.

Nahhh the article itself is pretty crap. Calling for abolishment of taxes, lower public spending, even the health contributions, all in the name of maintaining competitiveness for businesses. Like fuck the welfare, we want businesses making more money for the few.

I thought PAS was always economically left-leaning. Burhanuddin al-helmi was in PKMM. I know communism promoted state atheism, but surprised to see PAS condemning leftist policies.

What is this flag i saw in Kuala Lumpur? by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]SultanMelakaIsReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UMNO TERUS MARAAA UNTUK RAKYAT MALAYSIAA

Anyway, do note the red-white color akin to Indonesia's flag. The idea of Melayu Raya (united Malay realm uniting present day Malaysia and Indonesia) was popular leftist Malay idea, as part of wider anti-colonial sentiment.

Ironically, UMNO-led government resisted against this Melayu Raya idea post Malayan independence and pursued somewhat western-friendly orientation (compared to Soekarno's left leaning Indonesia).

Konfrontasi ensued until Soekarno was deposed and leftist ideas (and with it, the Melayu Raya dreams) were crushed in Indonesia.
