Malaysia bans E-Waste imports, as they got out of hand:
“Malaysia is not a dumping ground for the world's waste,” it said. “E-waste is not just garbage but a serious threat to the environment, people's health and national security.”

Because my Mastodon feed still shows me content in languages other than English and/or Malay, I think I will soon find ways to get a translation API and configure my instance to be able to translate any posts on my feed.

Amazing video about Sugen Gopal, Malaysian Indian chef and restaurant owner whose Roti King in London has been a huge success. He has a great cookbook too.
You may be looking at this food and wondering ‘why is it so different from the vegetarian South Indian foods I usually get’ and that’s because Malaysian Tamils tended to have come from lower caste communities, who have different foods. His success is a huge beacon of hope for many, especially those who haven’t seen this type of Tamil food represented.
It’s my favorite kind of South Indian food, anyway.
Buy his book.

Had a hilarious moment with my LA rideshare driver. We drove past Jollibee. I was commenting on how great Jollibee was, and sharing a factoid with my wife ‘in Malaysia, Church’s chicken is Texas chicken, coz church, haha’ and the driver was like OMG YOU SOLVED A MYSTERY FOR ME
Turns out he’s from Dubai and he was wondering why church’s chicken and Texas chicken had the same menu
Then we reminisced about Dubai and spoke about our respective immigrant lives in California
All because of fried chicken facts

The 11-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations will not send observers to army-ruled Myanmar's ongoing three-stage election and will therefore not endorse the poll. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/20/asia-pacific/politics/asean-myanmar-election-malaysia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #myanmar #malaysia #asean

This isn't as cursed as you might think if you know about #Asian culture (when my mum was living in #Malaysia she would telephone me every day, and even if some incident happened in London (80 km away) she'd be worried about it, and also that I was safe on my e-bike (I didn't drive a car then), although its maybe a shame that family members are no longer talking on the phone when they are remote from each other like they used to..
