Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

On the other hand, the resort acknowledged that it was indeed their fault to use the term “Songkran” which may have caused confusion, and further explained that despite the name, the River Festival will not be like how the Siamese celebrate Songkran.
If it’s not meant to be celebrated like Songkran, do you think the change in name is wise?
You thought it's Radical Conservative PAS but it's me, Political Correct PAS!
So much for PAS won't trample on the rights of non-Muslims.
Anyway, you got a source for that?
That's the part where my old Malay ass has been eyerolling for the last two decades when my non-malay atas friends are like, takpe takpe. The atas Malays too but they dah terkena for a while now already.
Tbf, the Non-Muslims are in a tough position. Put up too much of a fuss, we're branded kafir la, pendatang la, tak hormat la. We can only fight back when the moderate Malays push back together with us.
Oh I absolutely get that fear. Queer ppl with other privileged identities can share the same concern. The thing is that last bit though - were moderate malays invisible or something? We're right here. Always been here. Bila buka topik, don't want to campur tho -"ah, never mind la your thing one". That's what I'm responding/reacting to, that very specific willingness to don't bother (and to use DukeGR4's comment as an example pov that I'm also talking about here). Of course have to stay safe - I'm just saying oh now worry la, dulu org lain kena sell down the river tolong cover line pun barely there. Don't even have to speak up unnecessarily, that just invites trouble - but to swerve and use a small thing example: no need so excessively worried if this biskut or that cake halal right in front of me if I didn't ask you to worry (and maaaaaybe that person is unofficially non-practicing but can't say nothing cos it's a crime). In terms of where I'm situating my response is not like Terengganu where mainly KT yg ada non-Malays. I'm talking about Klang Valley and similar places where it's demographically a situation of at least two ethnic socioeconomic majoritarian blocs. I think from this pov is why ppl always bring up Borneo enviously but part of that social pact is looking out for each other.
were moderate malays invisible or something?
Not invisible but not that obvious perhaps? I used to bring my dogs to this vet run by Malays. They love my dogs, but got some complaints about having dogs in the clinic. We have seen some moderate ones who would pet our dogs, just that we feel bad that the clinic staff had to deal with those Karens.
That is a great example. I guess it didn't help if they feel like there's no one else in their corner, like dog owners stopping to use their business because the fascists were loud 😕 ETA: especially since those dogs and their owners have every right to be there, and the fact the vet wanted them to also use their services despite the stereotype that Muslims can't touch dogs in any situation so in their own small way they're living their life and de facto resisting. But no one's there.
Yeah, we know there are moderate ones, but at times it's hard because the fascists are loud.

Not gonna lie I almost died inside when I saw that comment since I just passed by lembah subang as I opened Lemmy lmao... But should be only specific train issue
I think you were a train behind me. I was at Glenmarie or Ara Damansara when I posted that.
aiya, almost can meet liao XD
Hahaha next month BG at Uptown Damansara!
I don't know can go or not... Need to get a ride to go board games :(
I can give you a ride if you need to. Just holler me early.
oo thanks, I'll take you up on the offer if I have time XD
Good morning people, is Windows 11 good now? I am still reluctant to upgrade from my trusty 10.
Well, until today there are still people who complain or dislike it. There are some tweaks you can do to make windows11 better from what I heard. Personally speaking, I don't really want to upgrade to 11 either.
what do people complain about tho... i think when Vista came out there are people out there that die die want to be on XP.
And it seems people are even more reluctant to switch to Windows 11 lol. I'm an NPC non-power user, for me it feels like a great skin with modern UI design and it feels more intuitive to use.
yea it's good, zero issues. been using it since 2021.
Personally I'm holding out trying W11 as much as I can, either until my work laptop/PC gets refreshed, or I buy a new laptop/PC. W10 is supported up to October 2025, so there's still time.
10 probably gonna be my last windows as it was originally intended. after support ends maybe i'll just jump into the linux ecosystem.
Lolololol not Harakah Daily PROUDLY comparing Sanusi to Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, Duterte and Viktor Orban 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can never accuse them of not knowing their own brand 😌
Good lord, i was looking for clue whether this is a satire or not 💀
A few words in the article e.g., strongman, tamadun...etc., suggest the shill writer must have been caress his own tits to utter out that piece of nonsense.
Damn. I think I pass the exam.
Just got word that 42 people fail this one exam. That's half my class. And they'll send an email to people that have to resit.
Haven't gotten any email so far. Mann still couldn't believe I pass. Don't know what to feel. I must be that smart. Or the students here are fkin dumb
In case it's true: congratulations! If not: takpe, good luck for resit!

just bought a pair of Ultraboost 1.0, but i think i'm going to return it. I only bought it because i thought it looked sleek and it actually fits unlike the NMD.
some people swear how comfortable Ultraboost 1.0 are. i think they have obviously never owned a pair New Balance. The issue is there's little padding, and the base is also too thin, flexes way too much and it lacks stability. It's also terrible for driving and I can't do heel-toe properly.
Before Ultraboost, I get frequent arch foot pain. After getting my first pair, I can walk way longer distances without getting the pain now. Although, may consider New Balance as my next pair because I have no brand loyalty and willing to try new things.
I have a pair of 327, it's by far the most comfortable sneaker i ever had. doesn't look like it but once your foot is in it just makes sense. Recently got a pair of 580, it's less comfortable initially but after breaking in it's pretty good as well loads of padding.
was beatboxing just now and felt a sharp pain in my throat, then i tasted blood. now i have sore throat... bruh
Please take care! I have been sick very often lately and I can barely sing nowadays because I keep having post nasal drip...
post nasal drip
i got that recently, annoyed the heck out of me so i saw a doctor she said it was an allergic reaction basically causing my tear duct to shut.
yeah, doc told it me it was allergic reaction the first time I visited. the second time it was because I had too much cold stuff so my nose got all stuffed. but even if I don't eat cold stuff my nose can get stuffed as well...
