October 7th Is A Poor Argument

To Israel supporters who keep shouting "October 7th" :

Palestinians have been killed, expelled, and occupied for decades before Hamas even existed.

Before October 7th:

Deir Yassin (1948) : over 100 villagers massacred.

Sabra and Shatila (1982) : thousands of refugees slaughtered.

Gaza 2008, 2014, 2021 : entire families bombed while the world stayed silent.

And here’s more:

Haifa Attacks : 1937-1939

Jerusalem Incidents : 1936-1939

Haifa Market Bombing : 1938

Balad al-Shaykh Massacre : 1947

Haifa Bombings : 1939

Haifa Oil Refinery Massacre : 1947

Abbasiya (al-‘Abbasiyya) Attack : 1947

Al-Khisas Massacre : 1947

Bab al-Amud (Damascus Gate) Bombing : 1947

Jerusalem Bombings : 1947

Sheikh Bureik Attack : 1947–1948

Jaffa Attacks : 1948

Khan Yunis Massacre : 1956

Jerusalem Conflict : 1967

Sabra and Shatila Massacre : 1982

Al-Aqsa Massacre : 1990

Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre : 1994

Jenin Refugee Camp : 2002

Gaza Conflict : 2012

Gaza Conflict : 2014

Gaza Massacre (Great March of Return) : 2018–2019

Gaza Conflict : 2021

Gaza Genocide : 2023 till present

October 7th didn’t happen in a vacuum.

It was the result of generations of people pushed to the edge, stripped of their homes, and treated as less than human.

You condemn violence but ignore 75 years of suffering?

Peace won’t come by pretending history began on October 7th.

Malays Are Not In Danger. Fear Is The Real Danger.

Malays have long carried a fear, the idea that the Chinese will one day take over the country. Traumatized by the 13th May incident and with politicians further amplifying the notion during every election season, this belief became deeply rooted. It is repeated in family conversations, passed down through generations, and used as a convenient tool to divide Malaysians. But when we examine this narrative closely, it does not hold up. It is not reality. It is strategy. Let’s debunk it. Malaysia’s Parliament has 222 seats. To amend the Constitution or make any major changes, a government would need two thirds, which is 148 seats. In the 2018 general election, Pakatan Harapan, with DAP included, won 113. In 2022, they won 82. Both numbers were far short of 148. And no Chinese-majority party has ever, in the history of Malaysia, controlled Parliament on its own. The only way to form government has always been through coalitions that include Malay-led parties. Beyond numbers, the Constitutio...

Vlogging Cured My Social Anxiety

Although I no longer post weekly vlogs, I still pick up the camera every now and then. I want to share how vlogging helped me grow socially and rebuild my confidence. For most of my life, I’ve been introverted. Crowds and social situations made me anxious, and I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in. Over the years, those feelings grew heavier, to the point where my confidence took a real hit. Speaking in front of people — or even being in a busy room — could trigger panic, sweating, and an overwhelming urge to escape. Then in 2018, I stumbled into vlogging. At first, it was just an experiment — a way to push myself into discomfort. I set myself a 50-vlog challenge, and by the time I hit my 50th, I realized I loved it. I kept going for years, posting regularly until 2023, when I slowed down. What I didn’t expect was the transformation. Vlogging forced me to step outside my shell, to speak up, and to share my voice openly. Over time, my confidence came back stronger than ever. Speaking ...

I Went To Shanghai And It Was AWESOME!

My office mates and I went to Shanghai last week. It was the annual budget meeting cum staff retreat, and this time, they decided to go to China! I was thrilled because I had never set foot in China before. It was Monday, 24 November 2025. We flew with Shanghai Air, and the flight took five hours. Once we landed at Pudong Airport, a huge tour bus took us on a one-hour ride to the city center and dropped us off at the Broadway Mansions Hotel. The hotel was a really old building, but the upkeep made it look modern while retaining some of its historic charm. The doormen and bellmen wore Al Capone-style uniforms with trench coats and hats, keeping the old-time vibe alive. We checked in on the fifth floor, which had an okay view, but once we settled in, Aliff and I immediately went out to explore. While the board members and MCs proceeded with the budget meeting, it was free and easy for most of the secretariat. Aliff and I set out with the sole goal of finding a new SIM card for him....
