We’ve hit 100K subscribers on YouTube! It all started with an idea - what if, I could create a channel that would combine my very passion for financial literacy with highly researched content? June 2020, the first video was uploaded. God knows how many retake I’ve taken just for my first 54 seconds video, on top of the anxiety from all the self-doubt: what would people think of me? How do i even start using these editing tools? Am I even qualified to make these financial content? Fast forward 4 years & 8 months later, here we are today. A channel that I could proudly stand behind, with well curated and produced content that my team have put 100% effort into making everything happen. And every single time I’ve read through the comments, replies, public responses, messages - it gave me even more conviction to push through any hurdles to continue what we’re doing. I know we are in the right direction. Day after day, we are improving financial literacy not just in Malaysia, but in a global scale. I know we are. For many, finance is a small and boring niche today, but I’m damn sure one day it would be a an important pillar that everyone will eventually look up to. This is for the team, friends, family, and sponsors that have believed in our cause and mission. (and also my subscriber no.1, I know you’re reading this🤭) And most importantly, you. The very fact you are reading this until this point, you are inevitably a part of our journey, and for that, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.🫶🏻 Trust me when I say this, we’re just getting started. My team and I are looking forward to bringing you more valuable content, insights, tips, information that would transform the way you handle your money, see the world, and even get the most out of your wealth journey. Stay tuned for more☺️ And with that, I guess it’s safe to say…WE ARE IN THE BIG BOYS CLUB NOW😙

reciprocity is a beautiful idea, but in its purest form, it assumes that all nations start from the same point on the game board. they don’t. the world isn’t a chess match where each player has an identical set of pieces. it’s poker—where some players sit down with stacks of chips and others are all-in from the start. tariffs, subsidies, and trade barriers aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. they are the manifestation of history. of wars fought, debts unpaid, alliances formed in fire, and economic miracles that came from a single moment of desperation. japan and germany rebuilt after world war ii under the umbrella of american security. china rose by leveraging the rules of the system the u.s. created. europe developed a high-tax, high-benefit model because of a cultural and historical trajectory that saw kings, revolutions, and the specter of war within living memory. if trade were truly reciprocal, then history would have to be erased. the subsidies the u.s. gave to its own industries, the military protection extended to allies, the preferential access granted to developing economies—would all have to be unwound. the problem with this vision of fairness is that it ignores the asymmetry of the past. it assumes that the game began today. alexander hamilton, in his “report on manufactures,” understood that young nations need protection to grow. he knew that free trade between a fully industrialized britain and an agrarian america wasn’t fair—it was a death sentence for u.s. industry. but when does protectionism stop being a ladder and start becoming a crutch? when does a nation move from “developing” to “fully developed”? the genius of trade is not in its balance, but in its imbalance. the u.s. runs deficits because the dollar is the world’s reserve currency, and demand for it is endless. foreign nations send goods to the u.s., and the u.s. pays in dollars—dollars that often come back as investment in u.s. assets. this is not a flaw; it is the design. trade surpluses are not inherently good, just as deficits are not inherently bad. perhaps the real question is not whether other nations should drop their tariffs but whether the u.s. should reimagine its own strategy altogether. does it double down on economic nationalism and pull its industries back home, accepting higher costs in the process? or does it use its structural advantages—its control over global finance, technology, and energy—to shape the rules in a way that no tariff ever could? reciprocity is a starting point, not a solution. history proves that fairness in trade is rarely about simple math—it’s about leverage, vision, and the ability to see the board for what it truly is.

The best time to buy is when you need to, and the best time to sell is when you don’t have to.

@onlysheeeeeee @paultantk seems like bang for buck from what I've heard; though never tried one myself before

@ZietInvests @paultantk I spotted this too. Is it that good? Or cheap?

More Alphards were registered in January 2025 than Proton Persona or Honda City Hidop T20!!!

@HilmiAdi @surayaror here to say this, my hotlink postpaid would cost around 100+ for 12-15 days (Japan), with less data, but with the convenience of banking TAC to approve payments and e-SIM would drain more battery (if there's dual sim connection)

@surayaror Wait why so expensive? Roaming with maxis at Europe multi country, unlimited data RM99 for 15 days. Would still prefer roaming because you can still receive call whatnot in case of emergency. Also, banking TACs etc

Roaming pass for 15 days, use own data - RM240 E-sim 3GB Valid 30 days - RM35 Seriously no brainer for any traveler to have e-sim app installed now

@surayaror Aren’t* just

@surayaror I’d think the way berkshire invests are just solely relying on research, probably also alot of string pulling, lobbying, etc (because of the scale of their business, it’d make total sense!)

I have a confession... I think..stocks are boring I get the ideas behind value investing etc and I get how these companies are important for the economy... But as an investment, it's just supremely boring...

today i learnt about Methylene Blue
