This article is behind paywall but it tells of a familiar story. ie Government entities like Khazanah's Tengku Zafrul era Penjana and Najib Razak era Mavcap (both now merged into Jelawang Capital) continue to bleed in the name of "venture capital." themalaysianist.com/p/what-d…

Interesting items of late on The Malaysinist, a newsletter by journalist @esshimself.
Among other stuff, there are insights on the corporate mafias and other kinds of mafias doing this and that, here and there.

🚨FAM and Malaysian Authorities Fast-Track Passports for Illegal Foreign Players in Just 39 Days
In a move that has stunned the football world, FAM fast-tracked two illegal foreign players to Malaysian citizenship in less than six weeks—granting them passports Malaysia proudly calls among the strongest in the world.
According to the FIFA Appeal Committee’s decision on the FAM forgery scandal, the players were invited by the Ministry of Home Affairs on 7 February 2025 to attend the Immigration Department and complete citizenship registration at JPN. By 16 March, their Entry Permits were approved. The next day, they passed the Bahasa Malaysia language tests, took the oath of allegiance, and received Certificates of Citizenship. By 18 March, they had their Malaysian identity cards and passports in hand.
The lightning-fast process has raised serious alarms about FAM’s naturalization procedures, with critics questioning how illegal foreign players could bypass the normal rigorous checks. What should have taken years was completed in just 39 days, turning Malaysia’s celebrated “world-class” passport into the centerpiece of a growing scandal.

The Malaysianist reported that fashion e-commerce platform Zalora has laid off 100 staff across Southeast Asia, representing about 15% of its regional workforce.
“These necessary structural changes reflect the need to adapt to a highly competitive market, recalibrate our strategy, and streamline operations to ensure the financial health of Zalora,” the company said.

History repeats itself.
Mahathir larang Mandela berjumpa Tunku Abdul Rahman, the man who helped Mandela and supported him. Back in 1990, this man was months before his death but Mahathir who hosted CHOGUM back in 1990 tak bagi.
Guess history repeats itself eh?

setiap kali aku tengok saiz sovereign wealth fund Norway yang datang daripada hasil petroleum, aku akan teringat dengan cadangan asal Ku Li untuk 50% daripada hasil keuntungan Petronas dimasukkan dalam dana untuk semua rakyat Malaysia.
kita ada buat Kumpulan Wang Amanah Negara sumbangan daripada Petronas tapi saiz dana KWAN ni selepas 37 tahun penubuhan saiz dana tak sampai RM20 bilion. manakala Norway yang tubuhkan Norway's Pension Fund 2 tahun selepas penubuhan KWAN sekarang mempunyai saiz dana USD1.8 trilion atau RM8.4 trilion.
lebih parah, Timor Leste yang menubuhkan Petroleum Fund 14 tahun selepas penubuhan KWAN mempunyai saiz dana yang lebih besar daripada KWAN.
what a lost opportunity
p.s: petikan temubual dengan Ku Li berkenaan penubuhan Petronas dalam @themalaysianist; please subscribe to read the whole interview and other interesting articles from @esshimself

[2991] Malaysia’s 5G network: the search for the second-best solution has gone awry

Looking back, the search for the second-best approach was unwise especially when the best approach was simple, transparent and a proven successful process.

“But the weather is hot to walk in Malaysia!”
Then pray tell how this island not far south of us has figured out how to make people walk and cycle?
It’s by building sheltered walkways and plant more tree covers!

Please help donate and share 🙏
