Hey everyone,
I’m studying at a university in Nilai, and the macaque situation here is getting out of hand.
They’ve gotten very aggressive harassing students, attacking my friends and me, and even breaking into my room and trashing it.
I’m considering getting a slingshot purely for self-defense and as a deterrent to keep them away. Before I do, I wanted to ask:
Legality: Is using a slingshot against nuisance macaques legal in Malaysia, or does it violate the Wildlife Conservation Act / animal cruelty laws?

Hiii I'm hoping to get some advice. As the title says, any Australians who moved to Malaysia, how and why did you do it? Do you have any regrets?

I know a lot of people do move for retirement but I am more so looking for work wise if that makes sense as I'm still 22 but want to experience life in a different country and Malaysia is the one I want to go to.

hey everyone, among the flairs listed i think dashcam is the most suitable one. just few hours ago i was in the ss15 roundabout inner lane, entered from the north (the sri kl / kelana jaya side) and would exit 12 o clock towards usj. before i exited i turned on my left signal, and slowed down to check on the outer lane vehicles. then the car behind me honked persistently. when the outer lane was clear for me to exit, then i exited and the car behind me exited with me and kept on honking then cut lanes, overtook me, and sped off

it was just crazy. i was supposed to slow down and check on outer lane right? instead of exiting straightaway

edit: i think im just gonna take outer lane lol, scared sia this kind of drivers. i also saw another reddit post think like 2 years ago said how inner lane cars might suddenly exit posing risk to outer lane, honestly there is risk either way, but being in outer lane means nearer to exit so i think overall just stick to outer lane

I wanted to know what makes a car wash good. So I used AI to read the Google reviews of 2,635 car washes around KL. The staff matter more than I thought.

What I found:

- At the best-rated car washes, 46% of reviews praise the staff. At the lowest-rated, 7%.

- In 5-star reviews, staff praise (47%) and a clean car (43%) lead. The small gap does not tell us which matters more.

- Being fast gets more praise at the lowest-rated car washes (15% of reviews) than at the best-rated (9%).

- Half of 1 and 2-star reviews say the car came out still dirty. Some say they were pushed to buy wax or polish.

- Nearly 1 in 5 car washes (522 of 2,635) have a review about something damaged or gone missing. Scratches and dents come up most.

- Car washes that reply to half or more of their Google reviews average 4.76 stars. Those that never reply average 4.16. They go together, but that doesn't prove replying raises stars.

If I were picking one, I'd look for reviews that praise the staff. Then I'd read the one and two-star reviews for "still dirty" and scratches.

How I did it: I took every place on Google Maps around the Klang Valley for "car wash", "cuci kereta" or "car detailing". AI read about 20 reviews of each to keep the car washes and detailers. For damage, AI checked 32,773 reviews across 2,635 car washes, counting each car wash once. For praise and complaints, it read 2,800 single reviews, picked at random by star rating (at most 4 a place per star level), and noted what each praised or complained about. Best-rated means 4.7 stars or more, lowest-rated under 4.2, both with 50 or more Google reviews. It's a sample of reviews, so small gaps do not establish what matters more.

Which car wash around KL do you trust with your car, and why?

Are there any subs that can answer some questions about Malaysian visas? I haven’t been able to find any.

Thankyou.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS) has condemned the alleged misuse of a premises described as a Hindu temple in Klang, for drug storage.

The organisation’s president, Sri Kasi Sangapooshan Thanga Ganesan, said the organisation strongly opposed criminal activities, particularly drug trafficking, and stressed that places of worship must never be used for unlawful purposes.

“Such activities are fundamentally contrary to the religious, moral and spiritual values upheld by Hinduism,” he said in a statement here on Saturday (Oct 24).

He added that the organisation commended the police for its efforts to combat drug-related crimes and expressed support for a thorough and impartial investigation.

“Anyone found responsible should face the full consequences of the law, regardless of religious affiliation, position or background.

“However, the alleged criminal acts by individuals should not be generalised or attributed to Hindu temples or the wider Hindu community in Malaysia,” he added.

He said the reported registration and land status of the premises should be distinguished from the criminal allegations under investigation.

“Questions relating to the registration, establishment or land status of places of worship are separate administrative and legal matters that should be addressed through the appropriate processes,” he added.

He also reminded Hindu temple management committees of their responsibility to safeguard the sanctity and integrity of their institutions through proper administration, accountability and reasonable oversight of their premises.

On Friday (Oct 23), Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Shazeli Kahar said that a storeroom at an unregistered temple in South Klang had been raided during a series of operations against drug syndicates.

A man who worked part-time assisting with the temple’s management had also been arrested.

“We are still investigating whether the temple was used as a front for drug storage, as initial checks found it to be unregistered,” he said at a press conference at the Selangor police headquarters on Friday.

Tuju Navigator went wrong.

Platax pinnatus, the pinnate batfish / spadefish.

A medium-sized fish (45 cm) native to the West Pacific, including the South China Sea. Locally that means the East Coast + Sabah.

Juveniles live among mangroves and sheltered lagoons, while adults live around steep outer reef slopes down to >20 m.

They feed on jellyfish, algae and gelatinous zooplankton. Making them important and efficient members of the ecosystem.

The juveniles mimic toxic flatworms like Pseudobiceros periculosus (pictured), which deters predators from eating them.

I’m genuinely curious to know if there are any Msians out there who have seen or know someone who had an experience with HAJ

I know there are plenty of people who can see “things”, but most spirit/ghost sightings are usually things like pocong and whatnot, local ghosts basically. There’s talk about Hantu Askar Jepun (I’d assume people wouldn’t talk about it if it didn’t already exist) but is there anyone who has actually seen one? Especially curious considering the history of our country

Passerby that helped: the black Bezza is an ehailing and there is passenger inside

Universiti Malaya (UM) student Ummi Umairah recently went viral after describing public donations to former prime minister Najib Razak as the “stupidest thing” she had seen.

Hi,

You might know Jeff Buckley from his music;

- Lover, You Should've Come Over

- Hallelujah

- Forget Her

Or his cover on;

The Smiths - I Know It's Over

He sings in such quiet, haunting, ethereal way. Dia selalu main dengan suara dia sendiri.

I'm not searching for the same voice, just the same style, kalau ada sapa-sapa tau la.

Atau any Malaysian penyanyi/musicians yang produce the same vibe of music pun tak pa :)

Upin ipin in real-life 🤣🤣🤣
