Very much enjoyed writing this. My tenth flash fiction piece for this substack, the unsuitably named "Malaysian Long Form". I have no idea how to market my writing. I just write and click submit and if a few people read it or even skim through it is a nice thing indeed.

G Force game was so good
What are the video games that are better than the movies? This is what I’m coming up with: Chronicles of riddick The amazing spider man games Peter Jackson’s King Kong Goldeneye used to always be on here but the movie slaps too hard sorry

Dia macam ni, neoliberals tak suka cash transfer sebab dia berpandangan orang miskin tak pandai berbelanja. Bila jadikan kupon, kad, baucar, ni akan menjadikan ketirisan sifar pada pendapat mereka
memanglah 100 tu sangat membantu untuk the poors tapi faham tak kami nak long term solutions
This was so Melayu coded of her.
Wow the woman who did this as a photo op is a fraud, whaaaaat no fucking way, who could have possibly seen this coming?
Mexico boleh! Malaysia bila?
🇲🇽📲 Mexico REGULATES Digital Platforms Uber, Rappi, and others are now legally considered employers—required to provide social security, pensions, paid vacation, housing, profit-sharing and more, to workers. Over 400,000 workers have already regularized.
Education discrimination against non-Malays on an institutional and interpersonal level is definitely real in Malaysia, even if this specific student being rejected by extremely selective scholarships isn't necessarily the best example of it.
Poor kid, full straight As for SPM and zero scholarships. Didn't Anwar make promises for straight A students? And his Tiktok is full of racist comments. So many rejections when all they're asking for is a right to study

American Socrates explaining what it’s like to escape the cave:
The burgers you see in ads aren’t cooked, they’re constructed.
Same thing in Malaysia too. Same case with the CGI Oppenheimer dress. Do we import our censorship from India?
Clark and Lois’ mid-air kiss in ‘SUPERMAN’ was censored in India It was cut because it was too “sensual” (via: Bollywood Hungama)
The solipsism here is quite funny. "Malaysia is the only country to export professionals". Absolutely not lol.
Malaysia is the country yang kita train orang professionally. Then other countries recruit these professionals.
