With all these numbers, but still Selangor naik air dan banjir tiap kali hujan lebat - continuous and repeating.

For the past two months, we’ve focused on our kids and catching whatever rest/sleep we can. There’s always next time for races and events. But there’s no next time for these moments with our newborn.

Couldn’t relate to the priorities. I had registered for Boost+ and KLSCM even before my wife gave birth, but decided to let both go, though she insist for me to go for KLSCM. I knew joining would mean leaving her alone and restless, caring for both our newborn and 3yo son.

Saw a vtt of an influencer thanking his wife for supporting him in joining IronMan 70.3, even though he registered without telling her. His wife just gave birth and was caring for their newborn. Felt uneasy reading the caption. Opened the comments, turns out I wasn’t alone.

Alhamdulillah.

D-Day Good luck kepada semua sahabat sahabat lanyard sekalian. Semoga berita yang baik baik sahaja buat kita semua. 🤲

Surprisingly abang tu beli 5 kuih haha

Lepas parking kereta tadi, pergi beli kuih. Ada sorang abang ni tanya harga. Penjual tu cakap, “satu 60 sen, tapi kalau abang beli lima, 3 ringgit”. Instantly terus tergelak takleh nak tahan. Sebab nada suara dia macam tengah buat promo, when it just a simple multiplication.

Lantik je lah YB RR sebagai Ketua Pembangkang (bayangan). Ketua Pembangkang yang sebenar tak function.

#tb when I and my brother managed to secure MCR’s tix for their first ever comeback concert after their long hiatus. Planned to make it as the last concert before going back for good to Malaysia. Then, COVID happened. Rest is history.

.@MCRofficial is coming to Malaysia guys! Good luck battle ticket. 😂

Rafizi punya check & balance sebagai backbencher lagi function dari seluruh perwakilan pembangkang dan se-isinya.

Saw this on LI & reminds me during my time Sleepless nights, tiring days & non-existent weekends 3yrs straight From single, to married, & having Uzayr Friend once asked me, “If u were to reborn, would u take CFA again in ur another life?” I laughed & answered, “No. Not ever”

‼️‼️‼️

Namun, sepanjan dua tiga minggu ni, memang lansung tak bercakap perihal Pemilihan - demi menjaga keharmonian rumahtangga. Hahahaha

Whilst her husband has and always been WalaRaf. Even my whole career was initially inspired by him.

Into the scene jugak. #tb sikit zaman wife aktif aktivisma, rapat dengan who-now-TP-PKR. Wife was to become her PA. And rest is history.

Awal minggu haritu baru aje terlintas rasa nak sambung belajar lagi, ambil professional paper FRM. Tiba tiba esoknya wife terus cakap nak restart balik professional paper CFA dia tahun depan. Takpa, kita pula fokus keluarga dan kerjaya - cari duit nak bayar kelas wife. 💪

We thought Mahathir lives long enough to see the consequences of all the bad things he set in the past. Only to realise that he lives longer to say “I told you” straight to our faces.

𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 I have run many election campaigns before. Never in any of them so many nameless people echoed the messages so loudly, yet so resoundingly beaten in the result. For that, I owe a mountain of gratitude to the average Malaysians who supported my campaign. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, only Allah can repay your kindness. I will not dwell on the outcome. I have been very transparent and vocal in sharing my concerns on numerous issues, from the change in one member one vote voting system, to the integrity of the digital voting system, to the lackadaisical efforts to resolve them. I can understand the frustration and disillusionment of ordinary PKR members and supporters out there. It will take time to shake off the sense that many years of dedication to PKR ideals have gone to waste. I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t feel the same, even if only momentarily. I’ve spent a good part of my adult life, nearly 27 years, to be precise, serving the party: from running the International Free Anwar Campaign, to a leadership role in the PKR Youth Wing in its early years, to writing a book explaining Anwar Ibrahim’s court case to the layperson. I left a promising corporate career at a relatively young age, at Anwar’s request, to become his Chief of Staff at the Selangor Economic Advisory Office. To date, I have had to endure 16 court cases: 7 criminal and 9 civil defamation suits, for exposing numerous financial scandals. I have probably spent more time in court than the average lawyer. I was sentenced to three years' imprisonment (suspended) under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) for my role in exposing 1MDB. Honestly, I don’t feel that bad. If anything, I feel a great deal of relief that I can return to living a private life, away from the shenanigans of the corridors of power. When I joined reformasi (before PKR was even launched), I was driven by an ideal. I wanted to see the first democratic change of government because I believe in competition. I believe the public deserves the best set of people to run the government. Competition promotes merit and keeps politicians on their toes. It is an antidote to rampant corruption. I believe in a multiracial, progressive Malaysia because we are but a small nation. Multiracialism opens our minds to competition. It allows us to learn from one another and adapt the best practices. It builds empathy and compassion. Competition prepares us to be an outstanding member of the global market. All of this can lead to prosperity and provide a much better life for many Malaysians. I joined PKR because of the promise of this ideal. I did not join PKR for public office or ministerial positions, let alone for financial gain. I understand that Anwar Ibrahim’s fate is intertwined with PKR’s, but I believe PKR’s relevance transcends Anwar or any one personality. Leaders come and go, but the ideal endures. I stayed in PKR for 27 years, outlasting many of the pioneers and senior members of the party, because I believe PKR is still a work in progress. We have made substantial contributions to the coming of age of Malaysians as a mature society, yet we are still far from achieving the ideal we espoused. I have never believed that holding a government position is the only way to achieve our ideals. Society must change faster than the government in order to realize a multiracial, progressive Malaysia - a goal that remains a work in progress. I am proud of the ordinary PKR members and supporters who have staunchly stood by this ideal throughout the campaign, even when all odds were stacked against me. There is hope after all. Thank you for the hundreds of messages expressing support. Thank you to those who offered their prayers. I was deeply moved when a few young party members shed tears, pleading with me not to walk away from PKR despite the sting of betrayal. There is hope after all. I have no intention of giving up on the idealistic belief that Malaysia deserves better, a belief that inadvertently drew me into activism and politics in the first place. For every problem, there are multiple solutions. For every obstacle, there are many ways to overcome it. With more time on my hands, I am grateful that I can now spend more time with everyday Malaysians. In the meantime, the least I can do is to respond to as many of the supportive messages I’ve received as possible. To those who feel disappointed, all I can say is: we must trust the process. Allah knows best what is good for us. Once again, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. 𝗥𝗮𝗳𝗶𝘇𝗶 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶 𝟮𝟰 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱
