Tweet ni bukan milik saya but I'm gonna pin this. Need to reflect on this time to time.

Thailand is the Rome Of Asia,
You have Chinese, Tais, Lao, Khmers, Indians, Mon, a few Austronesian groups, and Malays, who all can claim to be native to the country at this point, with a presence lasting a millennia+.
Even the Japanese presence and the Western presence dates back to at this point the 1500s, and of course the mixed race diaspora both of those parties have left behind.
Thailand is itself an extremely recent invention, it didn’t exist before 1932, it was just Siam before that, and before that Ayutthaya. It has always been an empire of a mixed people.
The Rome of Asia.

People don’t understand, but there’s no such thing as a pure Thai, and every Thai is mixed with something, so Thai people just consider themselves to be full Thai. After all, if you pick one pure ethnic population to represent “Thai” it would probably only be 10-15% of the population.

LMAO UK Muzzies haven't changed in 25 years.
They pissed us Malaysian/Indonesian/Bruneian students when they told us it's haram to wish Deepavali/CNY/Xmas. Jog off. We ASEAN Muslims are not like you lot. Never.
The first American Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed, has attended a Diwali celebration.
Diwali is a major Hindu religious festival, commonly involving honouring "deities" such as Lakshmi and celebrating the return of Rama to Ayodhya.
Celebrations can include prayers and puja (acts of worship), including offerings to Hindu "deities."
Muslim scholars prohibit partaking in Diwali celebrations or even wishing Hindus "Happy Diwali" because Islam is built upon Tawheed — the absolute oneness of Allah — and the rejection of shirk, associating partners with Him.

White French people littering in the river of Singapore.
Can we charge them? Fine them and ban them instead?
It’s very bad for the local

So I bungkus some laicikang today. The abang tengok saya Cina so he asked me “Laicikang ni sebenarnya takde laici kan”
He’s right. The right name for this sweet soup is “Leng Chee Kang 蓮子羹”. Laici will never go into a ‘cooking’ desserts like this sbb it’s a ‘heaty’ food (it contradicts)
Leng Chee is actually biji teratai.
I miss growing up watching mami jarum for raya holidays.
Most of these pics are from Penang. The jewellery shows some Jawi Pekan influence.
Northern Malay culture shaped Penang Peranakan style, which differs quite a bit from the Malacca-SG style.
You can still spot a similar love for bling among some Mami families today.

Content creator Isa Isarb claimed he was detained by Indonesian authorities and accused of being a Malaysian spy while filming protests related to forest fires.
He was in Indonesia to produce a documentary on the haze when he was arrested for allegedly misusing his tourist visa to film and attend demonstrations.

I think Muslims need to hear this:
Prophet Muhammad dressed like the people of his time and culture. He was an Arab living in Arabia, so naturally, he wore the clothes common to his society.
He didn't invent Arab clothing, and wearing an Arab robe, turban or head covering doesn't automatically make someone more Islamic.
If Prophet Muhammad had been born in Nigeria, India or China, he would naturally have grown up wearing the clothes of his society.
Islam has guidelines on modesty, but it does not require every Muslim to dress like an Arab.
You don't have to abandon your culture to practise Islam.
Islam is a religion, not an Arab dress code. Stop confusing the two.

SALAH CABAR....
Seorang ibu berang lalu bersemuka dengan seorang kanak-kanak yang didakwa membuli anaknya.
Kanak-kanak terbabit dipercayai telah memukul dan memijak kepala anak wanita itu sambil mencabarnya dengan berkata, “Pergilah panggil ibu kau datang!”
Bagaimanapun, dia tidak menyangka ibu mangsa benar-benar muncul untuk berdepan dengannya dan memberikan pengajaran atas perbuatannya itu.

Almost 150 Chinese WeChat streamers came to Dhaka, Bangladesh & spent the entire day livestreaming while showing the city's slums. When locals noticed the unusual number they started investigating why so many of them were doing this. Turns out, they were presenting it as India

Under Dutch rule in the East Indies, Art. 28 (1872) prescribed “pure Malay” of the Malacca Peninsula & Riau as the teaching std. “Malacca Peninsula” was later dropped from the nationalist narrative.
Many Dutch linguists also visited Malacca to study Malay, incl. van Ophuijsen.
