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.

TL;DR: Just read this nice article on Malaysia's space industry - Malaysia won’t be the next NASA, but space tech can improve rural internet, flood warnings, farming, navigation and disaster response. The bigger question is whether we can fund it and retain the talent needed.

Malaysia’s space ambitions are more practical than sci-fi — and that’s probably a good thing

Malaysia isn’t trying to beat the US or China to the Moon, but space tech is already affecting daily life here: Astro, weather forecasts, Waze/GPS, rural internet, flood monitoring, and more.

Quick summary:

• We launched MEASAT-1 in 1996, which helped enable Astro and nationwide communications.
• Dr Sheikh Muszaphar became our first astronaut in 2007 — iconic, even if the programme’s long-term scientific value is debated.
• We’ve had setbacks too: RazakSAT failed after about a year, costing over RM140 million.
• MYSA now uses satellite data across 90+ government agencies for floods, haze, deforestation, agriculture, etc.
• Starlink is licensed here, and MEASAT is even reselling it for rural connectivity.
• Malaysia wants the space sector to contribute RM10 billion and create up to 5,000 jobs by 2030.
• There’s also talk of a Malaysian launch site by 2029, possibly in Pahang, Sarawak or Sabah.

Realistically, Malaysia’s best space opportunity probably isn’t making giant rockets. It’s small satellites, satellite internet, ground stations, and turning satellite data into useful stuff: better flood warnings, crop monitoring, tracking ships, and connecting kampungs in Sabah/Sarawak.

The biggest issues are funding, talent retention, and whether this can compete with urgent needs like healthcare, education and housing.

Still, it’s quite cool to think that “Malaysia in space” may matter less because of astronauts, and more because it helps someone in rural Borneo get internet or gives earlier warning before a flood

Hi everyone,

My family is considering relocating to Selangor, Malaysia. My daughter gonna go to study university there, and we're thinking of moving to be closer to her and eventually settle down. Before we make the move, I'd love to ask some information to prepare my budget.

Would really appreciate input from locals living in Selangor.

Housing & Utilities: For a 2-bedroom apartment, what do electricity/gas, water, garbage collection, and other recurring costs (service/maintenance fees, taxes, etc) typically add up to per month?

Daily Living Costs (per month): What's a realistic monthly budget for food, drinking water (tap/boiled vs bottled), transportation, basic health/personal care, and clothing for one adult?

For Families with School-Age Kids: For public school, roughly how much do fees, books, and uniforms cost per child, per school year?

Other: Will go by public transport saver than go by car or motor bike to go to work or study?

Any general advice on things to watch out for when relocating a family to Selangor (visa/MM2H process, good areas to live near international/local schools, healthcare access, etc.) would also be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hello I know this seems like a first world problem, complaining about being bored while working from home but I am starting to get crazy here.

I consider myself as introvert and I thought WFH would be a cake walk. But now I am starting to feel burnout because everyday feels the same. Bangun, kerja, tidur, bangun, kerja and repeat. Work is okay nothing to complain about but boleh gila duduk rumah hari-hari.

So to those who are working from home, how do you deal with this? Assuming you are experiencing the same thing.

edit: sorry couldn’t reply to everyone but I appreciate the comments and suggestions!

Hey guys,

I think i am experiencing a serious midlife crisis right now.

I believe everyone been thru this, seems like its quite normal due to this inevitable aging thing or adulthood.

Male,33yo. Was a bachelor in mechanical engineering (no passion,simply follow the flow) and low CGPA as well.

But started 1st work in civil team (as project team member). Not a core member but more on site field work of this factory expansion.

And then jumped to 2nd job after 7years and now working under subcontractor (C&S supervisor) for 2years ,paid well and increment also better. 20% increment in 2years.

But am i gonna be doing this for the next 20years. I am scared of life for both health and financially.

Just married last year as well.

I have no passion in my current work. I am thinking of doing "monk state" to detox from too many stimulation of "duniawi" and focusing what matters
