Some friends in Jakarta asked recently if I have anything good to say about Malaysia. Of course, I do. In this holy month of Ramadan, let me pen my uncensored answers for them as well as for my other respected readers.
My first point, which may please many Malaysians and Indonesians alike, is about the durian, Malaysia’s king of fruits.
I made the mistake of bringing some “Musang King” durian to Jakarta when it first hit the market, as I thought good things are meant to be shared, especially among special friends here in Jakarta.
Never did I think that it would become my routine for the last 10 years to fill half my suitcase with packets of “musang king” on every trip to Jakarta. (Covid-19 gave me a two-year hiatus).

Warren Buffett says inflation ‘swindles almost everybody,’ Munger rails against bitcoin, market ‘mania’ at Berkshire meeting
Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett on Saturday put fresh money behind Activision and Chevron and doled out sharp criticism against speculation in the market.
Speaking at Berkshire Hathaway’s first in-person annual meeting since 2019, Buffett went so far as to say the market’s turned into a “gambling parlor.”
The Oracle of Omaha also commented on inflation, building on prior remarks he has made. Buffett had previously said that inflation “swindles” equity investors, but noted Saturday that it “swindles the bond investor, too. It swindles the person who keeps their cash under their mattress. It swindles almost everybody.”
Buffett and his longtime partner, Vice Chairman Charlie Munger, fielded shareholder questions on a broad range of issues for hours.

The current ruling party in our neighbouring and erstwhile former country-mate, Singapore, announced their pick for their next generation prime minister. They seem to have everything under control and properly planned out.
Since tearfully leaving the Malaysia-project in 1965, Singapore has gone on to develop from a swampy island to perhaps one of the shiniest examples for the world on what can happen with determined leadership, and well-thought through governance.
As painful as it is for us Malaysians to admit, our neighbour has surpassed us in so many fields. From technological and educational advancements to monetary policies, and socio-cultural experiments in a plural society, Singapore is arguably leaps and bounds ahead of us.

PETALING JAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Pejuang will have no fighting chance in Sabah if it contests there at the next general election, say two political analysts.
Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said race-based parties have no appeal in Sabah as most Sabahans have family members from different ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs.
“But if such parties are in a position to ‘disburse resources’, then that overwhelmingly supersedes that aversion against race-based parties,” he told FMT.
He added that many Sabahans still blamed Mahathir for Project IC, a term used to describe the alleged systematic granting of citizenship to migrants by giving them identification cards in the 1990s.
