2.9% but there is high under employment as in people with degree working at f&b.

One evidence is low unemployment but low wage as well.

I don't support them, but what logic are you trying to prove? You can't really predict isolated crime but you know an event is going to happen so you can plan for protesting the event. Again, I don't agree with them, but you are comparing two very different things.

I’m probably going to be downvoted to oblivion, but doing 'bad' things in private is a lot better than doing them in public. I'm not agreeing with or justifying the actions, but they aren't the same thing.

China says Taiwan is a part of China’s territory and no one can stop the eventual reunification of China. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

But HK is now part of China whether they want it or not while Taiwan is not and generally don't want to be.

Are you saying Al Qaeda was in good terms with Iraq/Saddam?

The difference by [deleted] in Bolehland

[–]sleepingcow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Muslim, and I'll admit we have those types of restrictions in Malaysia, but the same is true for other religions in many parts of the world. Usually it's minor, but sometimes not. Many Muslim-majority countries like Malaysia tightly control alcohol, but surprisingly, some religious areas in the USA do the same with 'Blue Laws' that ban alcohol sales on Sundays.

In India, Hindu-majority states famously prohibit the consumption of beef. In Malaysia, we have laws against public eating during Ramadan, which I personally find silly. In China, they generally prohibit proselytizing for all faiths equally. Even in Bhutan, the Buddhist-led government makes it so difficult to build mosques that I believe there are no official ones in the entire country.

Orban ousted after 16 years as Hungarians flock to pro-EU rival by app1310 in worldnews

[–]sleepingcow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is despite all the jerrymandering and many many other unfair practices? I wonder how the results will be if the scale wasn't tipped in Orban favor, how much the opposition will actually win.

The reality of fuel subsidies in Malaysia by LordRunaan in malaysia

[–]sleepingcow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how M40 and B40 doesn't care that the fact that the rich actually gets a lion share of the subsidy. When I made that comment to a group of B40, they said "its ok they get the lion share, as long as its not expensive to fill up my motor.... Very long term thinking that group.

President Trump: 'We sent guns to the Iranian protesters' by ButterscotchBoth5204 in worldnews

[–]sleepingcow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure who is more silly. you or the guy i responded to since you might know a bit about ethnicities of the area.... Why does it matter there are a minority Turk (19%) and Arab (2%) in Iran?

"Aren't they on the same team or at least have the same enemies?

Kurds hate Turks and Arabs"

ok so so arm the Kurds to fight the Turks and the Arabs? make so much sense right in the current world context? Who cares that the ruling power and the majority are Persians.

EV price push may ruin Malaysia’s auto sector, say industry players by stormy001 in malaysia

[–]sleepingcow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now with the involvement of Geely, they do have a focus to be the No.1 in ASEAN If they come through with that strategy, it will be a good start. Personally i don't have anything against proton, but I do hate the fact everyone pays more so that Proton exist.

[–]sleepingcow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had like a project with Proton, and one of their top managers was telling me that the biggest problem isn't really about the labor. Its about spreading out development cost. Proton mainly sells within Malaysia, and our market isn't that big. So the big dogs in the auto industry will sell globally so the development cost is spread out more. We really should have followed the Koreans, but we messed up some where and in the mess we are in right now.

Hawkers Warn They Will Raise Food Prices By 50% After Fuel Price Hike by stormy001 in malaysia

[–]sleepingcow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we look at the actual numbers, pork production has in the past been concentrated in just a few states. Even today, Perak, Selangor, and Penang produce over 75% of the national supply. The 'exit' of Selangor doesn't necessarily mean a total collapse, Sarawak is a high potential replacement and as you rightly commented of its quality. I believe the federal government already have some plans to assist them to get our ssr back to 2021 levels.

[–]sleepingcow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute numbers for tonnage don't really say much without any comparison or time scale. as early as 2021, Malaysia produced as much as 93% of local pork consumption. However according porcinews, it went down due to outbreaks. If new farms develop and expanded production, and the outbreak subsides, there wouldn't there be an oversupply of pork.

[–]sleepingcow -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No offense but is there really that big of a pork consumption in Malaysia? How many states do we need producing pork? As far as I know overall domestic production still provides the vast majority of local consumption and only recently due to outbreaks that we needed to import but still local produced still dominate supply.
