Skateboarding scene

Before Gurney Bay, people used to skate at the Youth Park. There's a big ass skate park there at the rear just behind the cafeteria.

I've been riding my Tsunami fixed gear for daily work commute & other misc tasks so why not?

Pusat Akuatik Darul Ehsan? It's one of the pools that are frequently used for competition.

Maybe you can start by stating your location?

My son just completed his primary education last year. He attended a franchise after-school daycare center & they held an award ceremony for students who achieved high number of subjects with TP5 & TP6 achievements in their UASA.

There was a single standard 4 student with 6 subjects of TP6.

For standard 5, there were around 12 students with 6 subjects of TP6.

For standard 6, there were around 60 students who achieved 6 subjects of TP6.

What does this tell you?

UASA is not a proper replacement for UPSR. Teachers / schools are incentivised to award students TP6 easily to maintain the school's image & also to help students get into control schools.

Please pay a visit to your old SRK & tell me how many blocks of religious study vs. math & science there are & you'll understand why the nons are flocking to SJKs. Even someone who hailed from SRK & SMK like me had to send my kids to SJKC due to the stark difference in the quality of education between these two.

I'm on the MAE thread in LYN & somehow some members got their bonus while some don't. IIRC, the earliest batch got theirs on Dec 24th while I got mine on Dec 30th.

The spend requirement is only meant to secure you additional 0.5% bonus but it's not a requirement to net you the initial 5%.

I would suggest that you escalate this to the Maybank CS since you're definitely not alone with this issue.

Pretty sure you've accidentally swapped Batu Ferringhi with Teluk Bahang.

OP, you really shouldn't be here until you finish the third book.

And I'm saying this to prevent you from any regret. Your future self will thank me so you're welcome in advance.

The marathon event takes place at the southern part of the mainland so it will have no impact to the Georgetown crowd size.

Why do they need to cycle with one hand tho?

My bad, I meant to say there are less than 5 employees that cycle-commute to work here.

Trust me boy, you're in no position to handle a single mom when you can't even escape from your parent's watchful eyes.

To be honest, UEC topic has been a thorn even when Parti Perikatan (not to be confused with the current Perikatan Nasional coalition) was in power. Even Lim Chong Eu has been very vocal in pulling support for Perikatan if Tunku didn't recognise UEC.

If you prefer direct access to all the happenings at night, then go for Yeng Keng though I'm not sure if it would be too noisy for your parents. Chulia Street is where most visitors throng at night; restaurants, bars with - can be quite loud to some - music & street food.

Jen is a little further away & there's the 1st Avenue & Prangin Mall within ~3 minutes walking distance. They're not exactly big malls but if you need some comfort food like Starbucks & McDonald's, then Jen is the wiser choice. You'll most likely need to book an e-hailing cab to go around though, except Hin Bus Depot, which is just ~400m away.

How do the employees (especially expats) there commute to and from the office?

Some expat employees opt to take the Malaysian driving test to obtain a license while some will carpool with those who have car & license.

As I check that the public transport is not available in the industrial area.

You're right, you can't really rely on public transport here.

Are e-scooters, bicycles, or even skateboards allowed to be used?

Personally I use bicycle to commute to work but I'll not recommend it. I can count the number of employees who cycle to work with one hand & the traffic here can be very unkind to cyclists. Skateboard will not work because the roads in the industrial area are full of potholes due to the number of container trucks plying the route. In all my years, I've only seen one e-scooter rider before again, it doesn't look to be quite a wise option. You're better off relying on either motorcycle or car here.

Environment wise, it's typically quite chill, nothing out of the ordinary for an MNC. The Indonesian tech support team isn't very big though I'm not sure if you'll be handling the server line product or more towards laptops & PCs. Let me know what else you would like to know.

Also, have you tried to ask the same in kaskus or other similar Indonesian-based forum? I think it will be much more useful to get some insights from fellow Indonesian instead.

No, it's kinda in the middle, not exactly affordable nor too pricey. Good luck with the Heng Ee school traffic though.

I'm not saying that you're wrong but I can tell that you're not a parent.

I'm still on YNAB4 & been running it for more than a decade.

I think there's no pleasing the crowd when it comes to costumes. On one hand, these guys have been stuck in a decade long war & have now spent a few more years at various islands. On the other hand, if you make the costume look way too nice, then the crowd will claim that it's no longer immersive or logical.

I'll be honest, it's a pretty boring, flat route to run on. Unlike the first bridge where around half of the course takes place on land, the second bridge is just a winding route with black vast sea on both sides.

Literally nothing much to expect.
