@jameschin110 You lost the narrative when you mention “Chinese education group Dong Jiao Zong” I am Malaysian.. but I want follow Chinese education from Taiwan, China 🤣

I can understand why the Chinese education group Dong Jiao Zong felt the need to issue a strong statement against Moon Boss. But the political reality is this: the overwhelming majority of the Malay community views DJZ as a Chinese chauvinist and supremacist organisation. Issuing this statement will only reinforce their perception that DJZ represents the far right within the Chinese community. But if they don't issue a statement, the chinese community will be disappointed. You cannot win. Something to think about… #Chinese #Pendatang #PasForAll #Moonies #ConvertNow

@Jefferey_0325 @fmtoday “I am Malaysian.. but go to SKJC, don’t want to take SPM, go take Dong Zhong UEC from China, don’t use Malay language, turn the national flag upside down etc etc” Lol

@TheReal_Imp @fmtoday Imagine thinking Malaysia's problems can be solved by blaming school systems and insulting a religion in the same sentence. You are just a typical stupidest shit Malay

Cukup sudah. Enough is enough.

@SurayaAOfficial @fmtoday IC biru, mengaku org Malaysia Tapi taknak sekolah kebangsaan, nak ikut aliran Dong Zhong China, Sultan tegur taknak dgr, terbalikkan bendera Malaysia, tak fasih bahasa Melayu etc etc etc etc

@TheReal_Imp @fmtoday That Malays must be stupid because they think SKJC, UEC are against Islam.

@jameschin110 We should do like Indonesia. Force all Chinese to speak local language, go to the same school, can’t use Chinese name, abolish Chinese school But wait.. we don’t do that. Yet the local Chinese in Malaysia complain non stop

Don't waste your time reporting him; nothing will happen. He is simply reflecting the views of the majority. I’ve already explained it from their worldview: this is the correct way of looking at Malaysia. Malaysia belongs to the Malays, and the land is called Tanah Melayu. Even a young Malay person can tell you it is called MALAYa and MALAYsia with the word Malay. If you pendatangs want to be accepted, convert. It’s as simple as that. Why do you think RTA and FW are so popular in the Malay community? Are they not saying the exact same thing? If you don’t convert and assimilate, then accept the label of pendatang. #SpeakTruth #KetuananMelayuIslam #Malay #Malaysia

@sarah_cone @SoundsDebatable @balajis Bought your tickets yet?

@TheReal_Imp @SoundsDebatable @balajis It really is—also I’m so much more likely to go there.

I am pleased to announce that a memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Network School. Our new campus will become a haven for global techno-optimism, with expedited visas, streamlined redomiciliation, and active recruitment of talent.

@andy_west41878 Jaslinda sesat dlm hutan 2 minggu takde pon nampak hantu. Tido dlm gelap atas pokok, tepi sungai Takde pon hantu kacau

Actual Jinn Malay call Hantu Raya @ Indonesia Called Gunderowo real figure. To ordinary eyes, they transform to handsome figure. Ancient Malay used them to clear jungle (for land, farming etc). Bad thing is isn't easy to get rid of unlike Pontianak @ Kuntilanak @ vampire

@ifactoreal Balaji? Hahahaha. This guy trying to drag everything together. Cina kalau sembang, babi pon boleh terbang

Isn't this an ultimatum issued by KJ to PMX and PH? So it's ok for KJ but not ok for NS Balaji?

@Gonzohall @Vishen Take a look at this guy.. lmao We don’t care what you think. Just go. Stop talking about us. Move on. I thought Kazakh was the next big thing. Just go there & have fun. We have nothing against Kazakhstan. Enjoy your life there.

The message Malaysia is sending to the world and to Malaysians is quite clear. "We prefer to be left behind than to allow new ideas to thrive". @Vishen Lakhiani left Malaysia 4 years ago and relocated to Estonia. Many Malaysians end up leaving to build their businesses elsewhere. It's not even about @ns, its a reppeated pattern that comes from the past and ended up creating one of the best countries in the world right next door, Singapore.

@lilyjayofficial You didn’t address the fake award.. the stolen money in Thailand.. etc etc etc People should stop donating until she answer & provide proper evidence on the allegations

Should I leave Islam?

@Alf_Ng @jameschin110 So.. basically every single Malay that support UMNO / PAS are radicals, feudal, extremist & barbaric Might as well say “I want Malays that listen to Chinese DAP” Hahaha

@TheReal_Imp @jameschin110 The preferred Malay are the ones that have moral values, integrity, righteousness, responsible, respectful to all human beings (and not "own clans"), principled and progressive. Not the ones that's feudal, radicals, extremist & barbaric.

😂🤣 It is truly amazing that after six decades, both UMNO and PAS have successfully brainwashed many Malays into believing that Malay special rights can only exist if UMNO and PAS remain in power. The reality is quite different. Malaysia’s political system is already so heavily Malay-centric that even if both parties were to vanish tomorrow, the institution of Malay royalty would still guarantee the preeminent position of the Malays. I have said this many times: UMNO’s long-term brainwashing project will eventually backfire on them. Today’s Malays are increasingly trapped by this KMI mindset and are struggling to move forward. While the world races ahead toward an AI-driven future, many still believe artificial intelligence will somehow validate and defend the KMI and help suppress kafirs. Good luck with that. AI recognises KMI man-made racism for what they are. It will not entertain nonsense or take sides in ethnic supremacist fantasies. In the end, those clinging to this outdated worldview will be consigned to the dustbin of history. #KetuananMelayuIslam #PoliticalIslam #Malaysia

@RepJoshG @RepGregLandsman @SecRubio Dude.. you’re losing the war with Iran.. now you want to mess with Malaysia? Are you sure?

Malaysia just declared it will hunt down and deport any Israeli citizen found in the country, solely because of their nationality. That’s why I'm leading a letter with @RepGregLandsman demanding answers from @SecRubio. Malaysia must reverse this antisemitic policy or we suspend security assistance. d12t4t5x3vyizu.cloudfront.net/gottheimer.hou…

@WanDAP90 Keep family out of politics bro..

Untung daddykasi can take some kind of bullshit degree. God forbid your kind become useful contributing members of society

@wrss29 Brokie.. 14k just 1 trade away for me

I got robbed for 189 SOL (~$14,000) at a beach club in Bali. What happened next sounded so unbelievable that if I hadn’t lived it myself, I probably wouldn’t believe it either. The night ended with undercover intelligence officers, arrests, and a police interrogation. Here’s exactly what happened. 🧵👇🏽

@Gonzohall @balajis @ns Totally agree.. weather is much colder than Malaysia great connectivity to travel to Russia, Uzbek, Afghan, Mongolia & Ukraine amazing exotic food, horse meat is a delicacy also you’ll have to learn a new language.. they don’t speak English there can’t wait to ⛷️

@balajis just announced that @ns is moving to Almaty, Kazakhstan. Having spent the last few years building digital nomad and founder ecosystems, I actually think this move makes a lot of sense. Kazakhstan has been quietly preparing for this moment. The government has been investing in talent attraction, digital infrastructure, AI, startup ecosystems and new visa pathways. They want builders. They want to build an ecosystem. And NS is potencially making it real way faster. Then there’s Almaty itself. It’s a city of over 2 million people with world-class mountains just 30 minutes away. You can spend the morning building, the afternoon hiking or skiing, and the evening at a great café or restaurant. It has the ingredients to become a “mountain city for founders”. That said, the move won’t be easy. Unlike Forest City, there's no pre built city to move in. Building a remarkable ecosystem takes years of intentional programming, partnerships and culture. Kazakhstan also has to overcome perceptions many people still have about the country, and long-haul flight connectivity isn’t as strong as major Asian hubs. But if there’s one lesson from places like Madeira, Bansko and Forest City, it’s this: People don’t move because of a visa or the destination. They move because of the community and experience. If Network School succeeds in creating that community in Almaty, they won’t just be moving cities, they could help put Central Asia on the global map for founders and innovators. And that's remarkable.

@PhilHedayatnia @pritopian Thank you for this. Great summary

Super super short summary, trying to be as objective as possible: - Malaysia does not allow Israelis to enter the country, by law. Last year, an Israeli content creator with two passports entered on his other passport and recorded a video promoting Network School. - A social media account then alleged that Network School was enabling Israeli citizens to gain access to the country illegally. - This resulted in a police raid, where Johor police checked the passports of all Network School residents/attendees. In that investigation, they did not find anyone who's broken Malaysian immigration laws. - Balaji recorded a 25min+ video summarizing the incident and requesting an "audience with the Prime Minister" to sign a formal MOU between Malaysia and Network School to ensure this never occurs again. - Many Malaysians on social media were angered by the tone of the video and, having not heard about Network School before, were alarmed by clips and portions of his Network State book which they inferred meant NS would take over part of Malaysian land and eventually try to separate from the country/violate the sovereignty of the country. Balaji did say at the end of his video reply that he respects the laws of Malaysia, but only about 22ish minutes into the video itself; he also offered to take his investment elsewhere if he didn't get an audience with the PM, which many Malaysians found offensive. - Given it's an election year and public opinion on this is sharply negative (in part due to the video's tone)... IMO it never seemed likely he'd get a kind conversation with the Malaysian gov after recording that video. And he did not. - Johor police/gov eventually demanded NS shut down (pulled its business license) due to filing for a license for office space, when they were also offering an educational program and calling themselves a "school". This requires them to cease operations immediately. - Balaji announces a partnership with the Kazakhstan government to open Network School there instead. I won't wade into this matter too much (also I'm not Malaysian) but my two cents: 1) I think if you write a book claiming that you eventually want to form a new breakaway country and can't articulate to the country that's hosting you why you won't subvert their sovereignty, citizens will assume you will, and you will earn many enemies (unless *from the start* you clearly announce that's what you want to do and get explicit permission). NS did not do this. 2) Malaysia is a democratic country, and the opinion of its citizens matters highly. If you're going to set up shop in a country where your operation (of any kind) depends on that country's resources, it should be quite obvious that managing political relationships and public opinion (and perhaps not calling your project "near Singapore" on every ad) is one of your most important responsibilities. 3) Personally I always saw the brand of "new country" as not a literal thing; it was a community, rather than a country. More accurately, it was a hotel + adjacent apartment block on the Forest City campus which was still in operation, leased to house NS occupants. But by using that brand and calling himself a "tech Zionist" on podcasts/in writing, it seems fair to me that Malaysians would take him literally, and there wasn't really a strong response either to people's concerns (just "take it or leave it"). 4) Bluntly, if you're going to move to a place and invite others to move to a place, I think you ought to first respect the culture, rules, and people of that place (or simply not opt to move there). Having been to NS and seen founders incubate really interesting projects there (again I always saw it as a live-in startup incubator), I hope for their residents' sake that they go off and thrive in Kazakhstan and build something awesome there, if that's what they want to do (not to interfere with the sovereignty of any country). Given that JB could in theory effectively serve as a hub for deep tech and global founders across Malaysia + Singapore, I wish this would have worked out positively for both sides, but it certainly didn't.

looks like a big L for malaysia? haven't been following this - why did they ask NS to leave?

@chairmanGLC Sama. Area Sunway. Goyang jugak

Weh kenapa opis aku bergoyang ni? Ada earthquake ke kat mana-mana? Area PJ.

@okaythenfuture @danyay @balajis

Malaysia is the second richest country per capita in Southeast Asia, KL is a pretty rich town, Penang is a huge semiconductor town, and Johor is basically the NOVA of SE Asia in terms of data centers. Its a very well run country for the most part, but it does have a lot more politics in terms of its administration, but NS will be fine, and Malaysia will too, it just wasn't a fit, more so than the failure or flaw of either party.

More than this showing @balajis a lesson, it shows the world a lesson about Malaysia: you can’t trust the legal or financial system. This is why developing countries stay developing and never make it to first-world. This is why countries like Philippines were richer than Korea in the 70s and poorer than its neighbors today. Why Thailand looked a gift horse in its mouth and will watch Vietnam walk away with the crown of Southeast Asia despite having decades-long head start. And of course the Malaysia-Singapore comparison. Capital goes where it is respected. But hey, crown sultan of Johan or whatever, at least you saved face. I’m sure your people will be happy about it 50 years from now.

@okaythenfuture @danyay @balajis What happened to Malaysia is the Canadian of Asia? Globohomoism right? 🤣🤣🤣

@danyay @balajis Malaysia is already a pretty rich country though, they'll be fine, they'll keep getting tons of investment after this, NS will also be fine as well.
