Gambaran paling tepat nasib rakyat biasa sekarang ialah #kalahkalah

Minggu depan mungkin diumumkan PKP (lockdown) sekali lagi.

Saya pasrah dan saya faham, tapi bagi jutaan rakyat spt saya yg ada tanggungan dll; lockdown ada harga yg besar

#thread
Jangkitan COVID semakin di luar kawalan.

Saya faham tidak ada cara lain utk hadapi keadaan ini kecuali dengan lockdown.

Saya ingat semua akan pandai2 sendiri bila ada lockdown sekali lagi, dah faham sangat #kitajagakita
Tapi bencana ini sepatutnya boleh dielakkan.

Kalau siri curi mencuri kerajaan tidak berlaku sejak Februari, PRN Sabah September lalu mungkin tidak berlaku.

Tanpa PRN Sabah, gelombang ketiga COVID tidak berlaku.
Saya pasrah ini ujian dan hanya dengan lockdown ia dapat ditangani.

Tapi giler bengang sebab tak ada seorang pun yang tampil bertanggungjawab.

Memang la ajal tu di tangan Tuhan, tapi gelombang ketiga yg berpunca dr gelojohnya politikus mencetus gelombang kematian yg baru.
Politikus terus curi mencuri kerajaan, yang mati orang biasa (dan juga tikus-tikus).

Buat PKP, PKPB - yang kena saman, denda, penjara -> orang biasa.

Menteri lebai berkopiah langgar & membahayakan nyawa orang -> cukup dia bg dalil dpt kompaun.

Giler bengang.
Pada masa yg sama, ekonomi belum sempat pulih dr PKP pertama.

Yg hilang kerja punyalah banyak.

Yg muda tak dapat kerja makin banyak.

Menteri dan politikus seorang pun tak hilang kerja.

Gagal tangani nak jump start ekonomi, sekrg nak masuk PKP kedua.
Masa PKP pertama; umum segala jenis bantuan.

Bagi bisnes milik persendirian yg pakai modal sendiri mcm saya, satu bantuan dana pun tak dpt. Mohon saja dpt jawapan -> “dana dah habis”

Subsidi upah pun awal2 je dapat, lepas tu duit habis.
Bila ada PKP, sentimen ekonomi merudum. Bisnes takut. Duit makin kurang.

Tapi kami tetap kena bayar gaji.

Saya ada 110 kakitangan, jumlah gaji yg perlu dibayar RM500,000+ sebulan.

Dgn sentimen ekonomi merudum, walaupun dah biasa new normal, bisnes pun merudum.
Itu nasib orang biasa macam kita #kalahkalah

Sekarang juak2 di bawah masih jerit perpaduan Melayu, masih main sentimen perkauman.

Yang untung besar bos2 politikus mereka di atas, yang bodoh dan tak dapat apa2 mereka di bawah.

Bila PKP dibuat sekali lagi, mereka yg terkesan.
Anak mereka susah dapat kerja.

Harga barang tidak terkawal. Kalau ada kerja, kerja terancam. Kalau bisnes, bisnes merudum.

Tapi asal Melayu Isle tak pe, walaupun jenis Melayu Isle tu nak kuasa tapi tak ada idea atau kepakaran nak selesai masalah.
Jadi pandai2 la jaga diri.

Masalah orang kelas pertengahan mcm saya lebih kpd nak pastikan pekerja tak hilang kerja dll, paling kurang tak de masalah soal makan, belanja bulanan dll.

Tp yg org kebanyakan, pandai2 lah jaga diri sebab bab ni kita #kalahkalah
Tp memang layak pun kita #kalahkalah sebab kalau di negara lain, kalau gelombang kedua dan ketiga dicetuskan oleh tindakan curi mencuri kerajaan oleh politikus, DAH LUNYAI politikus2 tu kena dengan rakyat.

Kat Malaysia tak pe, asal Melayu Isle.

Melayu Isle #kalahkalah pun takpe
Jadi sama2 tarik nafas yang panjang.

Saya pasrah dan redha melalui PKP sekali lagi.

Sekali lagi berdepan dengan risiko gulung tikar (bayar gaji RM500k sebulan, bisnes makin lembap).

Saya pasrah yg org Malaysia ni jenis tak kisah dan suka dibuli, asal yg buli tu kaum dia ha3.
Pandai2 la korang #kitajagakita walau confirm #kalahkalah

Jangan tambah 10kg masa PKP2.0 sudah, memang super #kalahkalah

How does one go through life disappointments when you feel you are let down?

Know your value.
Preserve your value.
Only extend your value to those who value you.

Valueing your selfworth is key to being a focus person to achieve whatever you want.

#valueThread
Why do we face disappointments?

Because we are let down. Sometimes by ourselves but mostly by others around us.

Our loved ones. Colleagues at work. People we care.

They let us down because they don’t value us. They take us for granted.

It happens to anyone who has ever lived.
Once you are on a downward spiral, it’s difficult to get out.

Most of the time the spiral is unavoidable.

You’ll keep trying to protect whatever harmony you value but the only constant outcome is to be taken for granted even more.

You get even more crushed, hence the spiral.

I missed my wedding anniversary last Thurs.

She was smiling in the am when I had bfast, she was smiling when I came back late from a game. All along waiting for me to realise it was our wedding anniversary.

This thread will not make up for the neglect, but I hope you read it.
We have always taken pride that we are unconventional.

After all, we only met once when I was 15 before I met you again at 32.

Met 5 times before I proposed through an email (ha3), and you said yes.

Then I forgot to reply to the email.
I remember meeting your parents for the first time.

Your mom asked me: "Betul ke nak kahwin ni?"

I guess everyone thought it was a joke.

Your dad was simpler: "Please imamkan solat Maghrib"

I guess I passed ha3.

Have you ever had a friendship so intense that it influenced your life so much?

Well, I did.

Much of what I did since he died was living a life that he would have wanted.

This is a thread about a beautiful friendship that was taken away too abruptly. Image
The photo was taken somewhere in Durham in late autumn 1998, about 2 months after Reformasi broke out in Malaysia.

I still occasionally smoke then - was an on-off social smoker ha3.

Ben left Malaysia en route to Germany and spent a few weeks with me in the UK.
I first met Ben (Adlan Benan Omar) in MCKK in 1990. He was my debating captain and coach.

He went to Abingdon School in Oxfordshire for A-Levels and became the head boy, then read History and Law at Cambridge University.

He founded @UKEC and co-founded @KalsomMovement

Everyone should aspire to own a business because nothing beats the freedom of working for yourself.

I thought if I could run multi-billion business before, starting and running a startup should be easy.

Well, not exactly.

If you have a similar dream, read this.
A startup is not just about starting a business. It is about solving a problem that affects many people (“pain points”), which doesn’t seem to have a solution yet.

It is about innovating the way we do things. Doing things differently.

That’s why startup is always abt tech.
Stories abt startup founders are almost similar around the world.

You experienced a snag. You felt things should have been better.

You get curious & feel you have a solution to the problem.

You explored the idea and thought this could work.

Senarai buku-buku bulan ini.

Memilih dan membeli buku lebih mudah dari cuba menghabiskan membaca semua buku-buku.

Saya beli 15 buah buku bulan ini, harapnya habis baca dlm 6 bulan.

#threadbuku
1) Driven West

Saya banyak membaca sejarah Islam, Eropah dan Asia.

Tersangat sedikit mengenai sejarah USA berbanding sejarah2 lain.

Driven West mengenai sejarah meluasnya kawasan USA yang mengorbankan Red Indians.
2) The French Revolution

Pemahaman saya mengenai Revolusi Perancis banyak digarab dari tulisan Christopher Hibbert.

Kini ada masa lapang utk memahami kupasan lain mengenai Revolusi Perancis yang mengubah lanskap dunia.

Ini bebenang kisah saya, lembu, kondo, menteri dan 30 bulan penjara.

AMARAN:
Saya tidak bertanggungjawab klu gambar lembu keluar di twitter anda sekali-sekala.

#NFC
Saya baca juga ada orang yg kata padanlah saya dihukum penjara kerana saya langgar undang-undang.

Niat yg baik, ttp tetap kena ikut undang2, kata mereka.

Kenapa tidak pergi lapor kpd polis atau SPRM? Kata mereka lg
Ada yg lebih mendalam kupasannya:

YB ni kurang cerdiklah - lain kali pergilah hantar maklumat itu secara rahsia di Wikileaks, kata mereka.

Ha3 saya gelak dalam hati. Sbhgn besar yg suruh pergi dedah di Wikileaks rasanya tak pernah baca Wikileaks.
