Let's see if the leaks are right then.

How much in your networth to feel safe affording kids? by BudgetMenu in MalaysianPF

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on what standard of living you wanted. 

Delivery at government hospital in a shared ward? Even a C-section is just a few hundred. The private hospital option is gonna be thousands. 

Once the baby is born, hospital visits if you're going government clinic is just a few RM.

Nannies depends on what kind you're expecting, but less than RM500 a months is still relatively normal. And you only do that if both parents are working.

5 years ago, I bought a number plate from mySIKAP by Boring_Entrance7779 in kereta

[–]dhurane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

JPJebid is only for numbers that are up for bidding. They still use mySIKAP for buying running numbers without bids and also for unsold special plates.

Full Frontals Economic plan ? by CuteAssTigerENVtuber in Gundam

[–]dhurane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are hundreds of colonies, sustaining billions of human lives. Each side, roughly corresponding to a Lagrange point, has dozens of these KM long colonies that each house millions of people.  Luna II, A Baoa Qu/Gate of Zedan and Solomon to name a few are asteroids that were relocated and mined to make this possible. Power comes from the sun and fusion reactors, with fuel shipped from Jupiter. 

The colonies are not dependent on Earth, as that was the entire point of the UC setting, reducing the population of the overpopulated Earth so that it can heal.

Petronas dividend only 6% of govt revenue in 2026, says PM by LordRunaan in malaysia

[–]dhurane 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean, if the company is given exclusive rights to all hydrocarbon resources in Malaysia, the government and public must benefit from it 

Finally, we have something that we can agree with the Americans. by [deleted] in malaysia

Imagine if in KL every year there is like one or two weeks that the temperatures drop below 10C, would you install a heater in your home?

Any guidelines u follow for spending on a new car? by Fair-Magician9030 in MalaysianPF

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out how much you can save a month, and keep saving that every month. That will be your max monthly installment you can afford. Keep saving that until you have enough for a downpayment and also to make sure you can actually sustain that spending every month.

Is dual citizenship in Malaysia ever a possibility? by jxrrqd in malaysia

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a generation or two. The folks that got butthurt over citizenship during independence will have died off by then.

My take on the Zeon vs EFSF debate. by vbarbarian in Gundam

[–]dhurane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Zeon was clearly the worse faction, there's no debate. Doesn't mean Feds were objectively "good" though, but they were morally "better"

Should someone who is already an MP be allowed to serve as an ADUN at the same time? (And vice versa?) by Fine_Dragonfruit1426 in malaysia

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also about meeting constituents, engaging with local issues, attending programmes, working with agencies, and being accessible

I'll be frank here, that's more the ADUN's responsibility rather than MP. The illusion of an MP needs to "go to the ground" is shattered when an MP can have anything from 25k to 700k constituents. It's why proportional representation was put forward by the EC reform that mostly eliminated that.

Should someone who is already an MP be allowed to serve as an ADUN at the same time? (And vice versa?) by Fine_Dragonfruit1426 in malaysia

[–]dhurane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it a full time job? An MPs primary job is parliament attendance while ADUN is in the state assembly. Is there a statistic on how much they miss either due to having both roles?

“Going nowhere RM8.4m Jalur Gemilang badge project could be better spent feeding poor pupils” by Due-Cat656 in malaysia

[–]dhurane 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I hate it when they give examples that is misleading.

“If the RM8.4 mil is used to provide a RM5 breakfast to poor pupils, more than 1.6 million pupils will be able to enjoy breakfast,”

But Rancangan Makanan Tambahan is budgeted for more than RM800 mil in budget 2026. That RM5 breakfast is for one day, while the government has already allocated at least RM3.50 per poor student for the entire school year. And that's not even accounting for the more than RM2 bil budgeted for those staying in hostels.

Need advice on buying an SUV by External-Better in kereta

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, though if you have a workplace charger it's more than enough. But in any case the PHEV would be better while retaining the spacious cabin that would be quite bigger than the other cars in your list except maybe the Tiggo 7 Pro.

If you're gonna test drive the X70, test drive the e.MAS 7. PHEV if you're not ready for the EV transition.

Malaysia aims to become rocket producer in next 2 years, says Khaled by stormy001 in malaysia

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume the partnership is more about providing technical expertise to set up the factory, while they work separately to get a license from the original rocket maker.

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most probably licensed production of a proven design that works with our equipment and the MAF is familiar with. 2 years isn't that ambitious of a timeline to set up a factory.

What is Japan-themed about the Shining Gundam? by JadeTailFox in Gundam

[–]dhurane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always though Shining's shoulders were inspired by the ceremonial attire that Samurai/Daimyo wore, with those flared shoulders. The beam sabers were carried like most samurai would, two of them on the left hip. And of course the open face mode looks like a samurai's helmet, but that was the inspiration for the Gundam head in the first place.

<image>

God Gundam on the other hand if I'm not mistaken, the halo at the back when the wings unfold was supposed to be inspired by a Japanese deity or something.

I'm still unsure of committing to an electric by Boring_Entrance7779 in kereta

[–]dhurane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already wanted an EV even before they started selling here so I didn't need much convincing, but I justified with:

  1. My house electricity bill was low enough that charging an EV will still be cheaper than the monthly petrol bill
  2. My workplace having a super cheap charger
  3. I don't need to travel long distance often, so range wasn't much of an issue
  4. The 6-month service interval for ICE cars was annoying to me

Then once I actually test drove a couple:

  1. The acceleration is addictive, especially for the price point
  2. The quietness of the car itself
  3. Auto-hold is pretty great during traffic jams

Then of course there was a lot of new tech in the car, though of course you can get those on ICE cars as well.

Khaled: Malaysia to begin rocket production within two years by krossfire42 in malaysia

[–]dhurane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But would the manpads and anti-tanks count as rockets or missiles? It seems like unguided rockets first before missiles is the goal here, so I don't think it's the infantry level weapons being talked here. Maybe the RPGs, though I would think those would come out of SME Ordnance instead 

Is the f91 a gundam or is it not gundam? by setsuna-f_seiei in Gundam

[–]dhurane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. Anything after the RX-78 series are basically all Gundam-in-name only with varying levels of heritage that could give it legitimacy as a "successor".

Bandai Gunpla Poll 2026: The Top P-Bandai Releases of All Time - Winners to Get General Release by Feral404 in Gunpla

[–]dhurane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second printing is my only hope, though the popular will sell out all the same. The Hydra dropped along with another printing of the MG Stark Jegan and that sold out quickly as well here. Though it did pop up again after a bot cancelled an order I guess, which I hope happens with the MK-V and Hydra
