Today, Malaysia bids farewell to Tun Daim Zainuddin.

He passed away at 86.

Known for his role as the finance minister under Tun Mahathir, Tun Daim was celebrated and critiqued equally.

Here are 8 of the most controversies associated with Daim 🧵 1/ Malaysia's Privatization Policy during the 1980s

Daim spearheaded Malaysia's shift toward privatization during the 1980s, transferring assets from the public sector to the private sector.

While modernizing certain sectors, this policy faced significant criticism for benefiting cronies.

The rapid privatization led to monopolies and a lack of competition in critical industries.

Domain Name System (DNS) is the internet’s phonebook.

It translates human-readable website names into IP addresses so our devices can load them.

Every time we visit a site, DNS servers do the work behind the scenes.

I have screened all cashback credit cards so you don't have to.

I found the best entry-level cashback card.

Even if we use it to pay for our monthly essentials only.

🧵 1/ Why cash back credit card?

Apart from emergency cover and credit score building,

...cashback reward is the most reliable form of reward you can earn with a credit card.

Other rewards like miles and app points are scams. Easily devalued.

HYPERINFLATION

@balaji made a shocking bet that #bitcoin will go to $1M in 90 days. This is a bet that predicts US Dollar hyperinflation, a worldwide financial catastrophe.

Frankly, $1M per BTC sounds freaking crazy. But now we got your attention. #BitSignal

🧵 1/ What is hyperinflation?

Hyperinflation is rapidly rising inflation, usually by >50% per month.

The price hike will be rapid, excessive, and out of control.

It is an extreme case of inflation.

#Belanjawan2023 1/ This free money handout costs us RM1 billion.

If you want to have an idea how gigantic is RM1 billion, here: malaymail.com/amp/news/malay…

From the menu Rahmah drama, you could tell:

1) Many are not just poor.

They are poor, self-entitled and ignorant.

2) Hence, they stay poor.

3) You tell me below in the comment. Build another income stream, just one of the examples 👇🏽

Sad case for the upper M40s and borderline T20s.

In reality, they are doing just fine if they have a family to raise.

In the government’s eyes, they are rich and should be taxed heavier.
