It’s the "unspoken KPI" of every office in Malaysia. You can be a technical wizard who can map your entire supply chain in your sleep, but if your boss finds you "difficult," your career is going to have a permanent "pending" status. Competence is just the entry ticket. It gets you into the stadium. But "likeability" is what gets you the VIP pass and the seat at the table. In the corporate world, humans promote humans they actually enjoy having a teh tarik with. If a boss has to choose between a "genius who is a headache" and a "solid performer who is a joy to work with," they will pick the "joy" every single time. I’m going to start practicing my "boleh boss" in the mirror tonight and google all the best teh tarik spots near the office. I don't even like teh tarik. But i’m ready to become the most likeable person to my boss.

Can you IMAGINE? 8 colleagues in the same Radiology department at Pusat Perubatan UM all hit with Stage 4 cancer and thyroid disorders. AT THE SAME TIME. possible radiation leak? instead of fixing it, the HOD allegedly scolded and tried to silence staff who dared speak up about occupational safety HOD must be fired the moment the investigation is done also, huge respect to @PSMPetalingJaya for helping the workers raise their voices

Reporter pun satu hal. Cari la headline yang bertamadun sikit.

Ryan Gosling talking in Gen Z slang is hilarious but also oddly... normal

Voldemort’s “iconic” laugh was changed based on the language of the film 🤣

The sun you see right now exploded 7 minutes ago and you'd have no way of knowing. You'd still feel its warmth. Still see it in the sky. Still orbit it. For 8 minutes and 20 seconds, you'd live in a universe that no longer has a sun and have absolutely no way to detect the difference. This is because gravity also travels at the speed of light. If the sun vanished, Earth would continue orbiting the empty space where it used to be for the same 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Einstein proved this. The gravitational wave carrying the information "the sun is gone" propagates at exactly c. Light, gravity, and information all share the same speed limit. Now scale the paradox in this post. 90 light-years is nothing. The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light-years away. Every photograph of it is a 2.5 million year old snapshot. The entire galaxy could have collided with something catastrophic 2 million years ago. We'll find out 500,000 years from now. The James Webb Space Telescope routinely photographs galaxies from 13.4 billion years ago. Those galaxies no longer exist in any form we'd recognize. The stars burned out. The civilizations, if any, rose and fell billions of years before Earth formed. Webb is photographing ghosts. The deepest implication: "right now" is a local phenomenon. It exists only in the space you can physically touch. Beyond that, everything you see, measure, or interact with is a time-delayed recording. The further you look, the older the recording gets. There is no method, even in principle, to know the current state of anything beyond your immediate surroundings. The entire observable universe is a 13.8 billion year old museum where every exhibit is labeled with a different date and nothing is current.

Tuan punya badan sendiri pernah beritahu diserang secara fizikal hingga mengalami kecederaan & tudung yang melambangkan maruah seorang muslimah direntap oleh regim tentera negara haram ini ketika ditangkap. Namun tetap juga ada di antara kita masih nak hantar juga para muslimah kita ini ke tempat yang cukup berbahaya. Jika para muslimah yang pergi tu ada tujuan contoh macam pakar perubatan, tentera, kaunselor (untuk bantu emosi mangsa wanita), mungkin ada logiknya ke sana. Tapi kalau sekadar influencer, tak pergi pun tak apa. Kemana kita nak letak larangan dari Nabi SAW yang melarang wanita musafır tanpa mahram? Lebih-lebih lagi ke kawasan yang telah diketahui bahayanya disebabkan konflik yang sedang berlaku sekian lama? Para suami, dengarkanlah sabda Nabi SAW لاَ يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ، وَلاَ تُسَافِرَنَّ امْرَأَةٌ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا مَحْرَمٌ ". فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اكْتُتِبْتُ فِي غَزْوَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَخَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتِي حَاجَّةً. قَالَ " اذْهَبْ فَحُجَّ مَعَ امْرَأَتِكَ “Tidak dibenarkan untuk seorang lelaki berdua-duaan dengan wanita, dan tidak dibenarkan untuk wanita bermusafir tanpa ditemani mahramnya”. Seorang lelaki bangkit dan berkata: ‘Wahai Rasulullah, aku telah mendaftarkan diri untuk sertai perperangan, sedangkan isteri aku pula hendak menunaikan Haji’. Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Pergi tunaikan haji bersama isteri kamu” [Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Al-Jihad wal Siyar, Bab: Jika seorang lelaki telah mendaftarkan dirinya untuk sertai tentera dan kemudian isterinya keluar menunaikan Haji, hadith 215] Bayangkan, lelaki yang dah daftar nama untuk berjihad pun Rasulullah SAW perintahkan agar batalkan niat dan temankan isterinya pergi Haji, walaupun pahala jihad itu pahala yang sangat besar. Lalu bagaimana pula dengan sekarang? Isteri pergi berjuang, suami yang sihat pula duduk rumah jaga anak. Dah terbalik. Sedangkan Islam tak pernah taklifkan jihad bagi wanita. Semat dalam kepala dengan teguran Ibn Mas'ud radhiyallahu anhu: وَكَمْ مِنْ مُرِيدِ لِلْخَيْرِ لَنْ يُصِيبَهُ “Berapa ramai manusia inginkan kebaikan namun tak mendapatkannya!”

Our planet already has a step-by-step plan for this. It was written in 1989, and 90 scientists from 14 countries are voting on a major update this October. The original playbook is called the Declaration of Principles. Michael Michaud, a career US diplomat who spent 32 years negotiating international treaties, put it together for a global body of space scientists recognized by the United Nations. The steps are dead simple. You detect a signal. You keep your mouth shut and get a second telescope to confirm it. Then you tell your government. Then the UN. Then the world. And you absolutely do not send a reply until there's been a worldwide consultation on what to say. That last rule is there because no single country, no billionaire, no lone scientist gets to answer on behalf of 8 billion people. That original document barely covered what happens after you confirm the signal, though. "Seek instruction from the United Nations" was about all it offered, and the UN itself has zero plans for this. In 2010, Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist who was running the UN's Office for Outer Space Affairs (real department, 27 staff, headquartered in Vienna), got swept up in reports that she'd be named Earth's alien ambassador. The UN put out a statement calling the story "nonsense." Othman told The Guardian it sounded cool but she had to deny it. So in 2022, John Elliott, a computer scientist at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, built something called the SETI Post-Detection Hub. SETI stands for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, the global scientific effort to scan space for alien signals. Elliott's hub is basically a war room for first contact. It brings together linguists, lawyers, psychologists, AI researchers, and philosophers. They've been gaming out different scenarios. A radio transmission from thousands of light-years away? Jarring, but manageable over time, almost like discovering an ancient artifact. A signal from just a few light-years out, meaning someone close is actively pinging us? The researchers describe that as triggering "unprecedented pandemonium." The 2026 update is the biggest rewrite in 37 years. It covers what happens when a detection leaks on social media before scientists can confirm it (because it will). It includes safety plans for researchers and observatories that could become targets. It has guidelines for using AI to help crack the signal. And it creates a permanent committee of scientists, ethicists, lawyers, and communications pros whose one job is to manage the aftermath. Over 90 members of the SETI Permanent Committee, spread across 14 countries, are expected to vote on the final draft at a space conference in Antalya, Turkey this October. There's also a rating system to stop anyone from accidentally starting a panic. The Rio Scale, built in 2000, scores any detection from 0 to 10 based on how solid the evidence is. A weird radio blip that's probably just interference scores a 1 or a 2. A confirmed, information-packed transmission from a nearby star system scores a 10. The whole point is to give the public one clear number to hold onto instead of every outlet running "ALIENS CONFIRMED" when the signal is a 2. Chelsea Haramia, a philosopher at the University of Bonn, is working on the one question the protocol still can't answer: how do you get permission to reply from every generation of humans that hasn't been born yet. That problem sits at the center of every proposed response plan, and so far, no one has cracked it.

Really????

Unnecessary journey?!???

"Right now, people are still making unnecessary journeys because fuel is relatively cheap," ???????? Fuel subsidies for the rich unfair, those who can afford the full price should pay the market rate - Nik Nazmi - paultan.org share.google/lauYWL0KzC8PI8…

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

Note how Singapore, Asia's leading financial hub, is actually heavily exposed to Gulf energy risk. It stands to run out of gasoline, diesel, LPG and naptha and lose access to a third of its jet fuel needs. Coincidentally its also situated on another shipping chokepoint, the Strait of Malacca; the world's busiest accounting for 30% of global maritime trade.

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.

Disney launched a new ad where a dad and son share a night time walk on a cruise ship, across an entire lifetime. Every parent needs to hear this: the moments feel small until they’re gone. Put down the phone. Spend the time. It’s the only thing they’ll remember.
