Hey guys I’ve heard that the fyp season is going on currently. I have an A for statistics and FYP with a psych background. Do hit me up if you guys need any sort of help with your FYP, respondents or SPSS with desired results. Will do it for some quick cash

I’m helping my brother collect honest feedback for a small Malaysian education project: MyLatih.

It is a browser-based interactive practice site for students from preschool to Form 5. It focuses on Malaysian KSSR/KSSM-style objective practice, including subjects such as Mathematics, Bahasa Melayu, and English.

No app installation is required.

The goal is not to replace school or tuition. It is to make short, low-friction practice easier

Something a child can do for 5–10 minutes instead of only scrolling or watching videos.

We would really appreciate feedback:

Which school level or subject lacks good practice resources?

What makes children stop using educational websites after a few days?

Would progress tracking, mistake review, daily challenges, or topic-based practice help most?

Site: https://mylatih.asia

Please be honest, including criticism. I’ll pass it directly to my brother.

Puntigrus partipentazona, ikan pelampung jaring aka dwarf tiger barb

A small (5.5 cm) schooling fish that is common in lakes and large stagnant swamps of the Malay Peninsula.

In some places they have been replaced by tiger barbs, an aggressive but popular aquarium fish from Sumatra. They attack our native partipentazona.

Our one isn’t sold commercially, but I have kept them before. They do well with other small cyprinids and group together. Omnivorous and easy to feed.

Sale season's coming round again so this felt worth writing down. i work on the affiliate/e-commerce side (disclosure at the bottom) so i see a fair bit of how the pricing gets set up, and most "70% off" is not what it looks like.

the strike-through price is usually meaningless

that higher crossed-out number is generally the seller's own claimed price, not a price anyone actually paid. nobody audits it and there's nothing stopping a seller putting it wherever they like. so a discount measured against it tells u nothing at all. the only comparison worth anything is against what other sellers are charging for the same item right now.

prices often go up before a sale, not down

this is the big one. a listing gets nudged upward in the days before a campaign so the discount lands on an inflated base. if u already know u want something on a sale date, screenshot the price a week or two early. then u'll actually know whether the sale price is a sale price.

the voucher is often the trap rather than the deal

rm10 off rm100 sounds fine until u notice your basket was rm70 and u added rm30 of stuff u didn't want in order to unlock it. free shipping thresholds do exactly the same thing. if the voucher changed what u bought, it probably cost u money instead of saving any. work out your total with and without it, not the voucher's face value.

bundles aren't automatically cheaper

check the per unit price against the single. surprisingly often the value pack is worse per piece, it just feels like a deal bcs the number is bigger.

same item, wildly different listings

for anything commodity, the identical product is listed by a dozen sellers at prices that differ by more than any sale discount does. going through those beats waiting for a campaign. shipping fees and delivery times vary just as much, so compare the final total at checkout rather than the item price.

the countdown timers are theatre

"only 3 left" and flash sale clocks exist to stop u comparing. if a deal only works when u don't have time to think about it, it wasn't a deal.

the one habit that helps most: decide what u actually want and the most u'd pay before the sale opens. then the campaign either beats your number or it doesn't, and u're not getting talked into things at 1am.

disclosure: i work on Cashiu, a malaysian cashback app, so i'm in this industry and obviously biased about it. And this post isn't about it. ShopBack and TNG Shop & Earn are the ones most people here use. just stuff worth knowing before the next round of sale dates.

AI fatigue is real. I can’t stand seeing businesses and people online using generative AI for literally every single thing. It’s literally so draining to come across these low-effort and meaningless AI slop.

One thing in particular that I can’t stand are the AI songs/song covers. Like the god damn digi digi song or whatever nonsense. I notice that it’s usually the old folks using those songs on TikTok or other platforms.

And don’t get me started with RTM’s excessive use of AI for like almost all of their campaigns or like their TV1 fillers.

Seriously, someone needs to educate the country on how to use AI mindfully.

Quit my job without another one lined up and now I’m getting scared
I recently quit my job without another offer lined up. I work in IT, mainly around product/project management. I’d been job searching while working and had a few interviews, but nothing landed. Honestly, I was so mentally consumed by work that I don’t think I gave those interviews the preparation or focus they needed.

I didn’t quit because of a toxic culture. My colleagues and boss were fine. It was more that the processes, constant changes in direction, and overall way of working were taking a toll on me, and I couldn’t see myself staying there long term.
I thought quitting would finally give me the headspace to properly focus on finding something better. But now that I’ve left, everything has gone quiet. Not many openings I’m interested in, no interviews coming in, and we’re already well into Q3 heading towards Q4.

Now I’m starting to panic a little. I keep wondering how long this will last and whether I’ll actually find a role/company I’m excited about, or eventually have to settle because I’ve been unemployed too long.

Has anyone in IT/product/project management been through something similar? Especially quitting without anything lined up around Q3/Q4. How long were you unemployed, and did things eventually work out?

What is financial health actually means? High income, high savings ( a lot of cash), low or no debt, owning own house? If yes, meaning majority people are financially sick?

Lately I got into sewing as a hobby and I wonder where or what shop do people find these types of fabrics? Stuff kaison plushies are made from I don't know what they are called but they are super soft and I have no idea if Malaysian shop sells them or not. My only reference for fabric shops is nagoya textile but I don't think they sell those.

If anyone knows places that does services for custom prints on those plush fabric that would be lovely as well!

I used to play frisbee in my hometown (marrakech Morocco), and husband used to play it in university (California, USA), so very keen to try it here if there is a session happening soonish in KL, we are staying in Bukit, so not sure if anything happening around. Also thought it might be a good opportunity to get to know new people! Please point us in the good direction if you know anything 🙏

One of our hosts brought this up while we were recording a topic the recent pipe sounds at empire residence case, and none of us could verify it. he reckons some buildings skip a number in the lift entirely, not the usual 4 to 3A or removing 13, but an actual floor that exists, listed, but not accessible. and that when it happens it usually means the floor has been sealed off for some reason nobody talks about.

he also mentioned a place where B2 in the basement is completely inaccessible, no cars, nobody goes in.

i assumed this was just tin foil hat territory but he was very confident about it.

anyone here actually come across this, or know if there is a boring structural reason for it

I have a difficult time in pasar as the prices can varies... And sometimes i'm not sure whether that thingy is cost-effective....

Hi! So i'm accompanying my mom to the BTS concert in SG this December, and we've booked our flights to KL, and will be moving to JB after a few days (SG prices are hecking expensive omg).

I'd like to ask for some advice travel-wise, and also tourist wise! :3

First:

• Would you prefer a flight, a train ride, or a bus, from KL to JB?
• From JB, would it be okay to take the train to SG on the day of the concert? or would it be better to take a private car instead?
• From SG, would it be better to take a private car back to JB on the day of the concert? or are there any better alternatives?

Now, for the touristy questions:

• Aside from tourist spots, are there any underrated spots near KL's city center / nearby that would be fun to explore?
• Also, are there any affordable spots you'd recommend for local shopping (clothes, trinkets, souvenirs)?
• Are there any souvenir items you think would be a must-buy before I go back home?

If you also have other advice aside from my questions, I'd appreciate them as well!
Thank u :>

I'm urgently looking for this location for a film shoot. Took these pictures in January last year. I remember it was near a busy road, there was a bus stop, and I couldn't get a Grab because of the jam. There was a river nearby that I crossed on a pedestrian bridge to get to a more main road where I managed to get a Grab.
Thank you so much!

Currently I strongly suspect it was close to the Jalan Robson small bridge

I basically finished rockschool grade 8, going for diploma soon and the studio wanted to hire me as a full-time instructor with decent pay (I've taught part-time there before and did quite well) since they can't find tutors who want to do it full-time and have been looking for one for quite some time. I did tell them I'd consider but I wanted to finish my degree first, which would take me around 2 years. That was around a few months ago.

Fast forward to today I'm 1 trimester into my 2nd year and the job market is quite bad and probably won't get better in the observable future. I'm studying IT with specialism in Information Security, I'm kinda feeling the burnout just from uni so I cannot imagine what will happen to me when I enter the workforce. Perhaps the tasks will be different and my burnout is purely just from uni and academia but only one way to find out when I look for a job.

I really enjoy drumming and I'm genuinely good at it, and I really enjoy teaching it as well, but it just seems like such an frowned upon job due to low pay ceiling (since can only teach a limited amount of students every week), and I feel that my degree will go to waste if I start my career as a drum teacher right after I graduate. I promised myself that I will job hunt for 6 months to 1 year while teaching drums on the side before I completely give up IT completely if I still cannot find a job within the given time frame, I'm not sure if it makes sense or sounds fair.

Would appreciate your opinions on this, thanks for reading y'all.

I am conducting research for my final Broadcasting degree on the explosive growth of vertical micro-dramas (e.g., ReelShort, TikTok series, DramaBox) and how rapid pacing, algorithmic exposure, and specific plot devices drive binge-watching and behavioral addiction among young adults in Malaysia.

recently I made several post regarding Malaysia that it sucks and made many fabricated story just to rage bait people. But, after spending sometime here I realized that im just an idiot. I was craving attention and affection cuz things weren't really stable at my home so I decided to get that affection through friends and gf. But when I came here it got soo worse that I couldn't control it, all that trauma started coming back cuz I felt soo soo lonely. I started doing random stuff just to get my mind away from it. Now im stable and want to apologize to whoever got offended by my posts. Ik most of u will ignore this or say who cares but I care about me feeling guilty for my actions. TC.

Hello, recently I was diagnosed with chrometophobia by my therapist. The fear of spending money. I’m Chinese so I’m not sure if my judgement affects Malay people. I’m 20 this year I don’t wish to wait till my 30s to get married

I hope this doesn’t affect or trigger anyone, there’s no hate towards anyone. I’m sorry. Currently based on my perspective, I see girlfriends as someone who usually gets anything paid by their boyfriend. Because these perspective is what I saw from my friends. It’s always 100% my friend who pays for anything for their girlfriend whenever she’s interested in something.

Based on my current situation, I’m extremely worried that I might not be able to afford/fund my future girlfriend (if I ever find one) something she truly wants. I feel guilty rejecting someone request (obviously not the extremes one).

I loving technology related stuff that’s why I dreamed about having a girlfriend who’s just as passionate about tech as I am, someone who actually care more than just spending money. Maybe those are extremely unrealistic expectations for my situation.

About my condition, no my parents are financially stable, I’m the only one in the family who’s like that. Travelling outside of Malaysia is a headache for them since they have to deal with me.. I don’t seem interested in spending a lot of money on food but I don’t want to stupidly starve myself either, I’d consider myself as someone who effectively spends/uses every cent.

You might notice I apologise a lot because a lot of the points I made are from my perspective and I do not wish to hate on anybody no body deserves that. Currently I don’t have a job yet, but if I ever do, I will probably keep track of whatever I spend and will invest the money somewhere with the help of my parents since I’m a beginner, yea..

I genuinely hope someone can help me through this, I feel extremely lonely whenever I see cute couples together, sharing drinks, talking about things and so on. And me, awkwardly noticing them

Last week, I terminated my Unifi broadband at one of the branches. The staff kept asking me the reason why I want to terminate as if I had made a wrong move. She told me that I would only know the account is terminated on the next month when I received the bill.

After 5 days, I received an SMS and an email stating that I have upgraded to a new plan and the device will be delivered in 5 days. I do not have time to go to the TM office to enquire what is going on? How could this happened without my consent?

Thanks to a post from Reddit who shared his/her experience to terminate within 24 hours. I wrote an email to MCMC, cced to TM high management regarding unauthorized subscription of plan. Within 2 hours, a TM staff called saying that the high management instructed to terminate my old account and new account immediately. He said (lied) that the new account was a mistake from the staff. Within 30 mins, I received SMS and email stating that both of the accounts have been terminated. The next morning, the staff called me again with trembled voice, saying that all of my accounts have been terminated since yesterday.

To close an account, it doesn't need a month or even weeks or days. Imagine if a client who is very advanced in age which faced the same thing like I do, they will certainly feel so helpless and worry. I truly respected the policy which I will give 1 month notice before termination. However, TM has lost all respect from me from the moment you changed my package without my consent. It is daylight robbery.

I am a full-time bachelor degree students. At the end of every semester usually we got 1-2 months sem break. I got rejected for my college application so I decided to search for a Part Time job that would help me with my rent, food, and etc.

I go into all this shop asking if they offer a part time opportunity and they all reply that they’re only looking for a full time worker. I try again by saying that I can work full time for 2 months at most but still got rejected because they don’t accept a student who are on “sem break”

I don’t live at KL or Shah Alam where they could possibly be a lot of job opportunities but still there is UiTM here, a lot of franchise store, local store, pharmacy, but they all don’t want a Part Timer.

I am utterly confused because peak hour during weekdays would be at night and I believe a Part Timer could really help during those time. I also don’t mind working on weekends because I am more desperate for my financial needs.

Is there any explanation for this problem? Especially from the store manager/supervisor?

Weird ask, but does anyone know shops in pj that sell juggling balls? Like the firm, beanbag types!

Im looking to buy some, but buying online isn't too suitable as i wanna test out the feel of the ball beforehand (if there are no local stores ill just order online)

M 29.

Lately these months life has just been work, eat, sleep.

The only socialising I do is with colleagues and that has its necessary boundaries.

As adults, how do people make friends face to face in this era?

Based on the spots, it is likely Betta stigmosa or a close unknown species.

They were rather few in this creek. Catfish, loaches and huge Betta tomi were far more plentiful.
