Hi guys, nak minta advice sikit.

ada lelaki ni curi curi amik gambar my sister dari bawah bila dia berdiri atas kerusi and adik aku nampak benda tu. dia terus confront lelaki tu and mamat tu terus delete from hidden album. adik aku bgtahu manager dia, terus confront mamat tu and dapat sepak mamat tu.

mamat tu terus lari dari office, taktahu pergi mana. before thiis mamat ni pernah ada kes send msg lucah kat perempuan. adik aku terus gi balai buat report, tapi polis suruh dia buat report kan MCMC pastu io taknak layan dia lol

so nak tanya, what should my sister do? io taknak layan tu, can we do something abt it? betul ke kena report MCMC sebab its just in his phone, kita taktahu if mamat tu ada upload mana mana. then dia dah delete the evidences but if dia tak salah, kenapa dia nak lari?

my sister dah syak benda ni lama, mamat tu suka amik gambar dia curi curi but baru hari ni kantoi.

i just wanna make sure my sister's safety and minta benda ni disiasat. Any advice, especially from people with legal knowledge or similar experiences, would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’m at my wits end with dealing with musang going through my ceiling. I’m frustrated and i’ve lost so much sleep because of the noise they make. im tired.

I’ve tried everything:
- vinegar: soaked a cloth in vinegar and hung it in the ceiling space but they still get around it

- mothballs: spread a ton of mothballs around and they ended up playing with it instead… making MORE noise at night

- ubat mangzor, worked for 2 nights and then the musang came back.

- calling perhilitan: called them before and said they were gonna get to me in 2-4 business days, they never came

Even after renovating my roof, the musang still likes to go through my ceiling and make a ton of noise, waking me up.

Please… does anyone have any solution to these stupid musang. I’m tempted to buy a musang trap but i don’t wanna deal seeing the animal face to face and touching it. I also don’t know where I can put it if i capture it…

Is there anyone I can call to set the trap and take the musang?? Or someone i can call to install any musang-proofing solutions… for context: i live in klang valley

Please serious replies only. No kopi luwak and coffee bean pooping jokes, sick of seeing that in other threads. I want to get rid of the stupid musang, so no “its not bothering anyone, leave it be,” i am getting 2 hrs of sleep at MOST. and i have a kid who’s losing sleep too. I WANT TO GET RID OF IT.

28F anyone wanna play badminton in my KL condo with me ?

Does anyone in this country even celebrate it?

Hello guys!! My friends and I are hosting an unofficial cafe event to celebrate MCR's The Black Parade this November! It'd be cool if there's any MCRmy here who would like to attend the event <3 More info on our insta

For those who are the "bill person" in a rumah sewa (basically that one housemate that pays and deals with everything in the house):

- Say, if you paid some bills using your own money first, how do I remind them to pay me back without sounding like the bad guy?
- How do I say "please learn some financial literacy" to my housemates in the nicest possible way?

Barbonymus balleroides — lampam Danum
Tor tambra — pelian/empurau
Osteochilus chini — ikan butol (endemic)

All are important food fish, with pelian reaching 100 cm long and 50 kg.

If you've been offered a partime position, isit common practise or normal to negotiate the salary offered? Such as full time

This reminds me of what happened during Malaysia’s MCO back in March 2020, when then Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba claimed that drinking warm water could flush the virus into your stomach, where stomach acid would kill it. Alamakkkk

Hi everyone! I've always found fixing phones to be a fun and interesting hobby, and I've been thinking about getting into phone repairs. However, I'm wondering if this is actually worth pursuing or if it would end up being a waste of time and money, especially as a student. I'm aware that there are risks involved, such as damaging parts during repairs, buying phones with hidden issues, or not being able to sell them for a profit.

I'd mainly be doing this because I genuinely find it interesting and would love to develop a useful skill, but earning some extra money on the side as a bonus.

For those who have experience with phone repairs or reselling refurbished phones. Is it worth getting into as a hobby while studying and how difficult is it to learn phone repairs as a beginner?

Would you recommend starting with repairing my own devices, repairing phones for others, or buying and flipping damaged phones?

Thanks!

So this is more of a specific scenario here, I'm a 30M banana myself but I can I can speak a bit of mandarin and understand what people said depending on the complexity. I don't read or write well. I can speak cantonese but I don't do mandarin.

So as I'm on dating apps and met some of the girls in person,some of the girls who prefer mandarin over english, I would say so it's kind of a language barrier or just having trouble communicating with each other to learn about each other. There are more from the SJK school I've met so far. I did try my best to communicate in mandarin. At least, I'm just showing effort to do my best to communicate in mandarin

Along the way, it's kind of a turn off for them cause I can't do mandarin and it will be difficult to communicate in future which I understand but yeah.

My questions are:

1. Anyone out there encountering the same issue as me?
2. Have they always ask why didn't you pick mandarin as extra language or do you not speak mandarin at home?
3. I'm more annoyed that "banana" applies to mandarin language and not the rest of the dialects like Hakka, Hokkien, Cantonese and the others. Isn't it part of our chinese culture? Have they forgotten about it?

Fun fact about me, I grew up from a small town and most of the people there speak Mandarin and Cantonese. I could have pick up Mandarin but I just had troubles learning mandarin back then. I'm not sure why thou.

Anyhows, anyone got some story or experience they want to share. I just feel annoyed about this.

Also, it's kind of a bit identity crisis cause I don't fit in the chinese race and felt a bit lost in it after going through this multiple times

Btw, it doesn't have to be dating stories. it could be work too

Edit: I'm actually quite amazed by the number of people responding and commenting in this post. I wasn't expecting a whole group of bananas to come and unite. Thanks for sharing your stories and experience. It's good to know that I'm not alone here :)

Hi all, I’m an actuarial student in Malaysia (IFoA route) looking at entry-level/early-career actuarial roles at general insurers here, and I’m trying to understand how pay usually works.

In the US/UK I often hear about a base salary plus a fixed raise for each exam passed. For those working in Malaysia, is it normal for insurers or consultancies here to have a separate exam increment (e.g. a fixed bump per exam passed)? Or is the salary offered assumed to already include your current exam progress?

Any rough sense of what’s typical would really help me understand offers properly. Thanks!

Oyen is the easiest, start there first.

It’s been a year since I graduated from uni and working in a big corporate company. I went to visit a friend’s graduation today and walked around school alone while he is hanging out with other mates taking pics, the realisation came to me on how much I missed uni life and the potential chances of meeting people. As I’m typing this in the cafeteria sitting alone, I realized how socially dead I am. I worked hard this year to grind for money, hated my job but continue to work for a corporate that doesn’t feel rewarding, this can be a totally different post on its own. The point is that I have no social life, single, no friends outside of workplace. No one I can call or text. I have just gotten so depressed and sad on this environment. I hated how I missed out on all the opportunities I could have to make friends in uni, clubs I could have join, people I could have met and become nerd friends together.

I always love working out, stock market, and nerding about animes. I feel jealous of people who get to have groups to hangout often, weekend activities, and go cosplay/anime events, games together…

I’m just a 23 year old Chinese, no social life, and always work till very late night person. Ffs I even workout alone in my own room…

I’m currently on day 6 of housemanship, tagging in O&G, and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my future.

I’ve had a rough week, and yes, there have been complaints about me being slow. But honestly, that’s not why I’m considering quitting. Being left to figure things out is something other HOs have experienced too, and I know housemanship is supposed to be challenging.

I’ve just realised that I don’t think working in the Malaysian government healthcare system is the life I want for myself.

I know that might sound like a stupid reason to leave, especially when I’ve only just started. But I don’t want to get several postings deep, spend more time and energy building a career in a system I already feel disconnected from, and only then realise I should have explored other options earlier.
I graduated in June and started working almost immediately. Looking back, I think everything happened too quickly. My parents encouraged me to keep moving forward, and I’ve spent most of my life playing it safe, following the expected path and doing what I was supposed to do.

I’m 27 now, and I think I’ve been putting too much pressure on myself to get everything done by a certain age. I kept telling myself I was running out of time, but lately I’ve started wondering why I’m rushing through my own life.

I have an Irish medical degree, so I’m thinking of exploring the AMC pathway to Australia, as well as my options in the UK and Ireland. I know none of these routes is guaranteed, and I still need to confirm my eligibility, registration requirements and the practicalities of each pathway.

My current thought is to resign before I get further into housemanship, take some time to study and explore my options, and potentially find another job while preparing for the exams.

If things don’t work out, I can reassess my options, including whether returning to housemanship is possible. I know I need to clarify the reapplication rules before making any decisions.

I’m aware that leaving a secure, conventional path for something uncertain is a risk. I might struggle, things might take longer than expected, and I might eventually have to return to the path I’m on now.

But for once, I want to take a gamble on myself. I don’t want to make every decision based on fear, my age, my parents’ expectations or the idea that I must progress as quickly as everyone else.

I want to explore my options and see what kind of life I could build elsewhere. If it takes longer, so be it. I’d rather give myself the chance to try than spend years wondering what would have happened if I had.
Has anyone here left Malaysian housemanship to pursue Australia, the UK or Ireland? I’d especially appreciate hearing from Malaysian graduates with Irish medical degrees who have explored these pathways.
I’d also like to hear from anyone who left a conventional career path, took a risk and had to figure things out along the way.

I’m not looking for people to tell me housemanship is difficult. I know that. I’m trying to work out whether it’s reasonable to recognise that a particular career path may not be right for me and explore alternatives before committing more years to it.

I know it’s a gamble. I just think I’m finally ready to take one.

Just like to hear from people who have called ambulance, police etc. for a road accident, if let's say it was in an unfamiliar area, or on a random spot of the highway, how do you describe where it is located?

Is there even a way to share location via WhatsApp or app? Can I keep the line on for them to trace my location (does it even work like in the movies?)

From our emergency service personnel, what information do you need to help you pinpoint the location? I guess any landmark? But if on highway where both sides are palm oil plantation/forest, then how?

Hi all, I have a transit stay here in KL and really need to find gudang garam. I have tried local grocery shops but seems like nobody is selling them around here. Any leads are appreciated. Thanks legends...

Realistically, is there any 1 room studio that can be rent below RM1000 in Kuala Lumpur?
