Of Bus Drivers, Boardrooms & Grief: A Story of Value

Opening: The News That Hit Me I read the news few days ago; bus drivers in Johor, striking after their salaries were slashed from RM2,800 to RM2,000. These aren’t just numbers. These are people. These are Malaysians working long hours, crossing borders, transporting hundreds daily, keeping the wheels of both countries turning. And while they struggle, the business owners? Millionaires. The divide gapes wider. The anger grows louder. The Clash of Social Classes: It’s Not Just About the Money We like to pretend we’re all chasing the same dream. But truth is, there’s a clear divide and it’s only getting clearer. Those at the top want profits, efficiency, dividends. The rest of us want dignity, livable pay, and respect. Somehow, asking for the basics is too much. In my opinion, many companies today focus more on satisfying shareholders than serving customers or caring for workers  the very people who are the business. A bus without a driver is just metal. A café without a barist...

Bil TNB Meroket RM200, Terkejut? and How I tak Join Panik Parade

Early morning buka myTNB app, terus mata terbeliak. Dari RM50 lebih… terus RM200? 😳 400% increase macam aku tengah operate sauna haram dalam rumah! Scrolling di social media, ramai tengah melatah  . Timeline penuh dengan orang marah, confuse, sampai ada yang nak pindah balik kampung sebab tak sanggup bayar bil KL. Me? Maintain tenang. Minum air kosong  Scroll komen satu-satu. Cari jawapan — bukan drama.   The Plot Twist: Aplikasi Tu Mungkin Bergelora a.k.a Bugs ak.a Demam Lepas tengok ramai share pengalaman, I started suspecting: Bukan semua yang tengok RM200 tu final bill Ada yang baru pakai smart meter, app tunjuk anggaran kasar je dulu Some say TNB tengah adjust tarikh bil cycle , jadi reading kacau sikit Then I tried the TNB Bill Calculator (yes, acik finance mesti kira). Masuk anggaran usage sendiri... eh tak sampai pun RM200. So conclusion aku? App glitch kot. Bukan rumah aku bertukar jadi kilang roti steam. 🚫 Apa Aku Tak Buat: Ta...

Just You and Me Over Breakfast

Dear Sayang ku You know, Sayang… This morning during breakfast, I found myself giving advice the kind you and I used to talk about late at night, when the world felt quieter. There was this young sister at the table. Sweet. A little unsure. And I told her something I know you’d nod along to if you were sitting right there, enjoying your roti canai like you always did. I said, “Marry only when you find someone you’re comfortable with not just because the world is telling you to. Don’t marry out of pressure. Marry someone who feels like home.” And in that moment, I thought of us. How easy it was to be with you. How I could just be. No pretending, no tiptoeing. Even when I was moody, messy, quiet; you never made me feel like I was too much. You were that good man. The kind I told her is rare. The kind I miss every single day. And while she listened, I smiled a little… because without even trying, I was telling her our story. The one where love wasn’t loud or flashy it was stea...
