Malaysia is reinforcing Sabah as US-backed Philippine military infrastructure, HIMARS access and expanding logistics capabilities on Balabac Island reshape the strategic balance across northern Borneo.
Belasia
The Federated States of Belesia is a relatively new democracy in the region. The turbulence of its independence from colonial rule continues to create stability challenges throughout its many member-islands. Political turmoil, popular unrest, and widespread terrorism combine to create a volatile environment for this young federation. One of the few stabilizing factors is the development of economic opportunities and trade. Despite progress in this area, sufficient infrastructure and business processes have yet to be developed, hampering further Belesian progress. The most significant development of the Belesian Federation Defense Force is the formalization and aggregation of member islands’ inconsistent security efforts. This standardization and professionalism is most evident in the establishment of a national constabulary and a national guard. Maintaining a balance between enforcing nationhood and preserving a degree of local autonomy has been the major challenge to national policy implementation and military stationing efforts.

Patani Baru
Patani Baru’s government was formed with British influences in mind, but with adaptations to meet the needs and desires of the people that formed it. The structure of the national government reflects the events that led to the formation of the country and is intended to ensure that the provincial level governments have a significant amount of power and influence in the running of the national government. Each of the five provinces has its own constitution, with four of them being constitutional monarchies, and the remaining province being a constitutional republic. Each province has a head of state, and a separate head of government. In each case the role of the Head of State is primarily ceremonial, while the Head of Government has more power

Sunda Baru
The Sunda Baru Federation was formed by the union of Indonesia and the Malaysian provinces of Johor, Sarawak, Pahang, Selangor, Terengganu, Melaka, Negeri and Sembilan in 1985. By the end of 2005, Sunda Baru emerged as a regional power with an expansionist foreign policy and a modern military capable of projecting power throughout the region. Sunda Baru is a parliamentary democracy with the President serving as both the head of state and the head of the cabinet. Modern Sunda Baru was formed through the merger of smaller states and varied populations. Because of this patchwork approach, the administration is continually looking for ways to sustain the country's rich diversity while simultaneously fostering a national culture that will help solidify the republic.

I noticed too many slow drivers in KK on even on Highway
(Not my car but my cousin one, tho he did maintenance a lot this car)
This will be the first ART based transit in Malaysia and in Southeast Asia.
There are doubt on the sustainability as the train will be powered by hydrogen. But I'm just glad more public transit are being build outside of Klang Valley, it means a lot more when its outside of West Malaysia too.
Penang LRT, JB LRT (or ART?) and MRT3 next!
Ps. This is entirely funded by the state government btw.
I keep bringing my tumbler bottle, thinking of asking staff if I can buy drinks but use my own bottle.
I just cross the bridge morning…
PAPAR: Polis sedang giat mengesan seorang lelaki yang dipercayai terlibat dalam kes kecurian kabel yang dilaporkan berlaku di sekitar Jalan Takis Hospital, di sini, awal pagi tadi. Ketua Polis Daerah Papar, Superintendan Heryan Mohd Tahir, berkata pihaknya menerima maklumat kejadian itu pada jam 2.27 pagi daripada saksi awam. Katanya, saksi mendapat melihat sebuah kereta Perodua Bezza berwarna putih dalam keadaan mencurigakan sedang mengheret seutas kabel sepanjang kira-kira enam meter.
“Dua orang saksi cuba memberhentikan kenderaan berkenaan, namun suspek bertindak memecut dan melarikan diri melalui beberapa jalan utama sebelum menghala ke kawasan Benoni. “Sepanjang kejadian, tiada kemalangan, kecederaan mahupun kerosakan terhadap harta benda awam dilaporkan,” katanya ketika dihubungi, hari ini. Menurutnya, hasil tindakan pantas polis, kenderaan yang dipercayai digunakan suspek berjaya dikesan ditinggalkan di bahu Jalan Kampung Buang Sayang, di sini.
“Siasatan awal mendapati pemilik berdaftar kenderaan itu telah menyerahkannya kepada seorang ejen kereta sewa sebelum ia disewakan kepada suspek. “Pihak polis sudah memperoleh imej suspek dan kini sedang memperhebatkan usaha memburu bagi membantu siasatan.
“Siasatan turut mendapati kabel yang dibawa dipercayai milik sebuah syarikat utiliti atau syarikat telekomunikasi. Bagaimanapun, lokasi sebenar kejadian kecurian serta jumlah kerugian masih dalam siasatan,” tegasnya. Sehubungan itu, Heryan berkata, kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 431A Kanun Keseksaan dan Seksyen 235 Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998.
Katanya, orang ramai yang mempunyai maklumat mengenai identiti atau lokasi suspek diminta tampil membantu siasatan dengan menghubungi Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Papar atau mana-mana balai polis berhampiran. “Polis turut menyeru kerjasama masyarakat dalam menyalurkan maklumat bagi membantu mengesan suspek dan memastikan individu yang terlibat dibawa ke muka pengadilan,” tegasnya.
I’ve noticed a lot of posts lately, specifically the specifically the ones where people are looking to make new connections or find someone to hang out with. That honestly just end up becoming impromptu meetups. It’s been great to see people connecting, but I think it’s time we lean into it.
I’m gauging interest to see if you’d like to have an official r/Sabah Meetup.
The vibe would be simple: No pressure, no agendas. Just grabbing a drink or food, sitting down, and actually talking to one another. It’s a great way to put faces to usernames and meet fellow Sabahans you might not cross paths with otherwise.
If you're wondering how this looks in practice, r/Malaysia used to have doing this years ago with great success:
Example 1: Past KL Meetup Photos
Example 2: A KL Meetup Announcement
Example 3: How Meetup works back then
If we were to host a pilot meetup, I’d love to know your thoughts:
If there’s enough interest, I’d love to aim for a pilot meetup later this year, perhaps around the end of the year when schedules are a bit more flexible for everyone
