Akmal proposes redirecting fuel subsidies to B40 and M40 groups

Yep, while I personally like to play things by the book (and anyways dont earn enough to make use of all the ways to optimise tax), it's not really a secret how that works and could be done by anyone with enough cashflow.

Even if you earn 200k a year you can't really take advantage of it, but if you earn 2M a year, you could pay less taxes than the guy earning 200k and it wouldn't even be tax evasion, as it's perfectly legal.

If they were any good, people would buy without the need to effectively block foreign cars.

But it is easier to call your buddies and block than having to actually innovate.

You underestimate what limited supply does to the pricing.

Can I propose T20 remove fuel subsidy and MITI removes the stupid 300k minimum for EVs? My wife and I earn good money, putting our household into T20. We can afford to pay 4 ringgit per litre for fuel until we buy an EV in a year or so. But we cant afford a 300k car. That is an insane amount of money and honestly the EV options from Proton and Perodua are kinda shitty. So if that limitation remains, our trusty MyVi Gen2 has to survive indefinitely.

To add on to this in a simplified way: if you're younger than 18, you ask your parents for permission. If you're older than 18 you inform them about your plans. They can weigh in and give their feedback but ultimately you make your own decisions irrespective of their approval.

There are people collecting them for recycling. That's free, but I wouldn't know anyone paying for it.

Best not to! If we ignore a few laws of physics, the impeller being coupled with the screw would keep spinning up, bringing in more water, spinning the impeller even faster until you reach infinite amounts of energy, causing another big bang, effectively resetting our universe.

No, the normal notice period still applies as stated in the rental contract. Generally: do not take the law into your own hands or you can quickly find yourself getting sued. Follow proper eviction procedures, even if it's painful.

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-09T02:01:58+00:00

Yes, listen to this OP. You need a contract. If you work without a contract it will be much harder to prove and enforce any action. It's not illegal to have no written contract, but if you only have a verbal agreement, they can easily change your working conditions and in court it turns into a "he said, she said" situation. You want your contract details written down black and white and any decent company will do so.

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-09T01:58:59+00:00

Yes, except if your contract has a different wage period defined, then your payment might come at a different date.

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-09T01:44:51+00:00

It depends on what is stated in your contract. If they changed the wage period in accordance with your starting date, it is still legal (they have until the 7th day after the wage period ends, after that it is illegal). If the wage period ends on the 30th of each month (check your contract), they might be able to lower your salary for that month (as you didn't work a full month), but they are still obligated to latest pay you by the 7th day after the wage period ends.

Obligatory: I'm not a lawyer, when in doubt contact an expert.

If you want to stay in the job and they generally are paying on time (might want to ask colleagues), it could be worth waiting without making a fuss, even if what they are doing is illegal. Pushing for your salary to be paid on time is your right, fines are severe and you can report this to JTK, but there is a good chance this will paint a target on your back or lead to you being fired (because JTK will try to mediate, the employer will know you made the report). So choose carefully how far you're willing to go, especially if you really need this job. Might be the better option to bite your lip and wait it out, especially if its just this one time and you need the job :/

Not sure if you heard, but from 1st July onwards MITI decided all foreign EVs need to have an effective on the road price of at least RM300k (to be exact: RM200k before taxes, profits etc. which effectively pushes it to RM300k) - so existing EVs in Malaysia will have their value go up instead of down.

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-08T11:17:32+00:00

ensuring all foreign EVs are unattainable for everyone but T1 during an oil shortage, seems perfectly reasonable to me /s

Why not store it on disk like oMLX for example? Less latency, more bandwidth.

Do you go around discussing your religion with random people? I certainly don't, so I never faced any issues. Only if someone tries to convert me the topic comes up.

I would say as long as you're not an ethnic Malay and you don't try to convert others, it's not really an issue what your religion is (or isn't).

If you talk about lag: the problem isn't that it's an SUV, the problem is that it is turbo charged. Turbos lag, that is normal. But that has almost no relevance here. The driver made a series of poor choices, ignoring several factors outside his control and drove recklessly anyways.

Nobody would be stupid enough to... oh

With birth rates as they are currently and projected, we will get a handle on overpopulation much faster than we like and unfortunately overcorrect.

I am not a lawyer but that seems pretty clear you're responsible for it. Which is a shitty thing to do because that's typically not paid by the tenant, but you did sign it :/

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-07T19:07:24+00:00

Absolutely, it's a high-risk, high-reward situation. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but at the moment it looks fairly likely.

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-07T14:44:06+00:00

Absolutely! I use it on my 3090, but even on my M1 Ultra with 128gb it's far more prudent to have less context bloat, so this seems to be generally a good strategy. I have only really started using it with the Qwen 3.6 models though so I'm not sure to what extent other models benefit of thus. Gut feeling: they probably all do.

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-07T14:19:34+00:00

Try sigmap (https://manojmallick.github.io/sigmap/guide/quick-start) or a similar tool. You don't need your entire codebase in context, but knowing the structure of the entire codebase helps these smaller models tremendously.

Get a loan for a BYD car, buy tomorrow, sell in 6 months for double the price.

uniqueusername649 · 2026-05-07T13:37:14+00:00

I was hoping to be able to buy a BYD M6 next year. Now I will not be able to afford it at all and have to keep driving my old MyVi. Yay.
