The administration, (and opposition MPs also share the blame) could have easily sidestepped any issues with #UndiBanjir, if we had spent the last 2½ years pushing for inclusive governance, including future-proofing our democracy & public health.

Where was the fucking leadership?
Lupa ya @MuhyiddinYassin shut down Parliament because "Covid"? Ramai bising kenapa tak buat hybrid. Have we actually done anything about it?

Climate crisis is here. Better buck the fuck up and expand our election mechanisms to take that into account.
We've done fuck-all to rebuild & strengthen our resilience over the last 2½ years and 2 administrations.
The questions I had at the beginning of the MCO are still unanswered.

Here's a quick tip for those newly diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.

Monitor your sleep patterns, learn to recognise prodrome.

Hard to fall asleep, easily disturbed sleep, excessive sleep for a prolonged period (3 days in a row or more) might indicate a coming mood episode.
Reminder for myself as well. 2 days in a row of difficulty falling asleep, and excessive sleep.

I can't do much about the stressors, but being aware helps keep me in control.

Q: How bad is Malaysia's mental health crisis among kids and teens?

All evidence points to it being very bad. UNICEF issued a mental health alert in May 2021, suicide & self-harm is on the rise and we've just acknowledged this recently as well..

...with the revelation that "about 424,000 children in Malaysia have mental problems".

Tragically, we will probably never know exactly how bad it is, unless we become more proactive with data collection.

Nice to see the Opposition finally embrace the utility of submitting private member bills, even if not accepted.

It highlights the systemic barriers to actually participating in the democratic process, and illustrates the disconnect between what politicians say and what they do.
Should have been doing this sudah lama, but oh well. This is what MPs should be doing more of.

"...by increasing the publicity around the subject, and hopefully influencing the government’s stance on the said issue."
We need to fix this if we are serious about strengthening democracy.

@PattoKasthuri brought up the need for longer parliamentary sessions, and I agree. Bayar gaji mahal, and barely sit for 70 days a year? Apabenda.

So, no one going to scream about the ethics of this doctor using stigmatising speech?

Or ethical behaviour only when it fits your politics? HAART: Highly Active Anti-r...
Kemain bising pasal penggunaan "Dr" aritu. Atas dasar etika lagi.

Hehehehehehe.

Walhal, atas dasar politik.

Hehehehehehehe.
Berapa ramai actually faham bioethics? Seriously? Even some doctors pun tak faham, which is why you get ethical breaches. Hehehe.

Some of the posters I saw at Occupy Melbourne in 2012.

Another life. It is no measure of health ...
Talking to one of the organisers. I was asking about the chalk they were using.

The details are hazy now, but apparently their bandaraya had issues with the occupation, and had initiated legal action. Me in a long sleeve t-shirt...
OM had a former chief justice (iirc) defending them in court, so they could continue to use chalk for graffiti.

10 years ago, during an UndiMsia workshop in Melbourne.

Was it worth it?

I don't know man. The last 2-3 years have been shit for advocacy. The Big Picture Analysis
Found an old stash of photos in a long forgotten HDD.

I had long hair back then. And this was when I was still on SSRIs, and not mood stabilisers. A few weeks after this was taken, I had a hypomanic switch and was eventually reassessed for Bipolar Disorder, and not MDD.
I think a lot of those early workshops for UndiMsia were fueled by a prolonged hypomanic streak. No one noticed (or were trained to notice), and I just thought the antidepressants were doing their job.

They were, until they weren't.
