Today in #Indonesian vs #Malaysian #Malay and our respective European legacies: OHHHH, the word for "ceiling" is plafon. Yes, the Malay word is a localized loan word ('siling') but if not for my basic French, it would not have immediately registered to me. Anyway now i know Dutch and French both share this word ('plafond').

You know that you are of a certain age when you tell your Gen-Z intern your age and she kept saying "wow" for 10 whole minutes

From now on, thanks to @cendawanita I'm going to tag #Malaysia related posts with #MYToots because that's what a #Malaysian does - sardonic low-brow humor is in our DNA

A heterogeneous #postcolonial society that did institute some affirmative action means i spent my Sunday debating representative politics with a #Malaysian Anglophone author living in France who is very okay her racialized community only have one (1) minister in the newly announced cabinet, while I was having a skincare facial session. Bougie against bougie violence bayyybeee

@rbreich as a #Malaysian whose right to sick leave is literally mandated in law, this has left me speechless.

My timeline is now as informative as it was in the Fowl Site years, but for the #Malaysian crowd. Though reading what happens the day after some shit went down is kinda relaxing.

Probably useful for the #Malaysian gang who need to put the word out on an easy to find list for #Journalist

hello December, what’s in store in our new #Malaysian #cabinet

Brand new #Malaysian cabinet

Enjoying a much-appreciated free Jazz concert at the River of Life, Kuala Lumpur. After the tense week we had, this felt like a great way to celebrate #GE15 and being #Malaysian

#malaysia

I just have to say this. MCA and MIC, already irrelevant in #GE15 have sunk to new lows by supporting PN.

The races they supposedly defend are constantly vilified and threatened by that party. It shows me how willing they are to toss over their own kind for power? Although I don't care for race-based ideologies, that disgusts me like nothing can. Go away, both of you.

#Malaysia #Malaysian

I'm witnessing how #Facebook , and #Twitter #Tiktok are destroying the fragile decmoracy of #Malaysia

I hate that the fate of my country is being run being faceless corporations in Silicon Valley in China. Seriously, what can us little people do about this? :blobcatnotlike:

Seriously, the urge to click Twitter to find out who is PM10 is overpowering, despite all the blocking software I've implemented lol

Question for all the Malaysian friends who just voted. What outcome do you hope for after all the votes are counted?

What should other nations know about your country and your voting process?

Happy voting day 🗳️ to all Malaysian 🇲🇾
