When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game. But you don't get a win unless you play in the game.

Doesnt that just mean MY employees are not being paid well enough? I mean, understood that they’ll be saving alot cause of the currency difference but if it means someone from SG got paid RM9K but businesses think they can afford to pay RM4K for a Malaysian, I wouldn’t call that a win for us Malaysians

I’ve been saying this for years, Malaysia is quietly becoming the regional hub for regional and global business due to Malaysias lower cost of talent that is equally competitive to Singapore Malaysia Boleh 😬

H&M is moving its Southeast Asia regional headquarters from Singapore to KL and cutting about 30% of its regional support workforce as part of a major restructuring of its Asia-Pacific operations. Under the new structure, a division based in Shanghai will oversee five sales markets, including Bangalore, Sydney and New Zealand. 🧵1

@rizkidwika Return ferry ticket Singapore to Batam cost $76 (1 juta). Quite expensive for such a short distance. Imagine the influx of weekend tourists if government steps in and force the price down.

Di tengah Rupiah yang jeblokblok, ada salah satu sektor yang harusnya panen: Pariwisata. Tarik turis Malaysia dan SG buat ke sini. Kasih flight langsung ke Bandung, banyakin flight ke tempat2 healing selain Bali. Ajak mereka ngabisin uangnya buat belanja baju + makanan di kita.

Feel like I'm missing out because I don't use skills, or a lot of MCP, or multi-agent orchestrations when using AI dev tools. I'm just like "implement this feature" or "how do this work" or "no not like that, do this instead". Idk, I feel fast and accurate so why change?

Today, we launched browser use inside Codex to further close the build & verify loop for local development! Now, you can ask Codex to build your front end, and test it like a user would by clicking through the app. Codex sees everything a user sees through vision & checks the network/console logs to help debug & fix any issues that it finds. This change brings us closer to fully autonomous coding agents that delivers high quality and tested changes. Watch Codex test my app in the browser, catch & fix a real bug, and doing that loop again with a brand new feature.

I slowly opened the envelope. Inside: a letter, legal papers, and three plane tickets. "Brother, the crash wasn't random. I uncovered the driver was hired to silence me over whistleblowing a corrupt firm. I entered protection to shield you and the girls—no contact allowed. Today they're convicted. These tickets are to our new beach home I bought in her memory with the settlement. The girls read it, eyes wide. Shock became hugs, questions turned to laughter. Their dad—back as hero—joined us for dinner. Fifteen years of love met redemption. We sailed into sunsets as one unbreakable family, healing complete. Happy endings rewrite the pain.

The Husky@Mr_Husky1·
Fifteen years ago, my brother lost his wife in a tragic car accident and then vanished without a trace, leaving his three young daughters behind. The girls, just 3, 5, and 8 at the time, arrived at my doorstep with a social worker and one small suitcase. The youngest kept asking when her mommy would return, the oldest went quiet after the first week, and the middle one wouldn’t even take her clothes out of the bag, as if she expected to leave any day. I kept hoping he’d come back, that there had to be some terrible reason for his absence. But the days stretched into months and then years, with no word at all. Eventually, I stopped waiting and stepped up completely. I was the one making school lunches, attending every performance, nursing them through sickness, and guiding them through their first heartbreaks and milestones. Over time, those girls stopped feeling like my nieces and became my own daughters in every way that mattered. Then, out of nowhere last week, he finally appeared at my door — looking aged and worn by whatever path he had taken. The girls had no idea who he was, but I recognized him instantly. Without any explanation or apology, he simply handed me a sealed envelope and murmured, “Not in front of them.” I held it for a moment, my mind racing through all those silent years. Fifteen years. And this was what he returned with. Then I looked up at him — and slowly opened it.

Copy frontend design skill from Claude Code. Use it with Codex and GPT-5.4. I don't think I'm going to switch tools for some time now.
Matt Shumer@mattshumer_

I've been testing GPT-5.4 for the last week. In short, it is the best model in the world, by far. It's so good that it's the first model that makes the “which model should I use?” conversation feel almost over. The biggest surprise: I barely use Pro anymore! If you know me, you know I'm a Pro addict. I reach for Pro models constantly, and use them for almost everything, as they just... nail almost anything I give to them. For the first time, 5.4's standard version, with heavy thinking, just broke that habit. Even in standard mode, GPT-5.4 is better than previous models in Pro mode... crazy! Coding capabilities are ridiculous... it's essentially flawless. Inside Codex, it's insanely reliable. Coding is essentially solved. There's not much more to say on this, it's just THAT good. The Pro version is near-perfect. Other testers I spoke with saw it solving problems that were unsolvable by any other model. At this point, Pro is overkill for almost every normal use-case, but when you really need the power to do something extremely difficult, it's incredible. Consistent with everything I've said above, even the standard thinking version uses fewer reasoning tokens than previous models to get the same level of results. In practice, this means you get great results much faster than before. This was one of my biggest gripes with previous OpenAI models. They just took too long to complete simple tasks. Assuming the speed we had during testing holds up as more users join, this is going to be a big win for OpenAI. It still has weaknesses, though: - Frontend taste is FAR behind Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. , why is this so hard to fix? @OpenAI once you fix this, there's literally no reason for me to use any other model. Please please please do it! - It can still miss obvious real-world context. For example, I had it plan an itinerary for a trip. At first glance, it looked perfect, but it failed to take into account that it chose locations that would be mobbed by spring breakers, so I had to re-run the prompt from scratch with more context. - When testing it inside OpenClaw, it kept stopping short before finishing tasks. I'm assuming this will be fixed quickly, but it's still worth noting. But zooming out: This thing is so far ahead overall that the nitpicks are starting to feel beside the point. GPT-5.4 is a serious fucking model. The best model in the world. By far.

Something cute, but mildly nerve-wracking, happened in Singapore Parliament yesterday. MPs were asked to solve a math problem, presented in two ways. The minister was showing how breaking a problem into steps helps - which is the method they follow in Singapore schools. Singapore MPs are famously well educated - I’m sure they did fine, though the overall score was never revealed. You might want to test your own skills too.
