Dalam wacana moden Malaysia — khususnya dalam lanskap sosio-politik Sabah yang kompleks — berkembang naratif berbahaya. Naratif itu menganggap hak orang asal sudah lapuk — tinggalan zaman penjajahan yang tiada tempat dalam “masa depan progresif”. Ia juga menggunakan jurang ekonomi untuk menyalahkan mangsa pengabaian sistemik. Laporan ini berhujah sebaliknya. Membela hak rakyat asal
In the modern discourse of Malaysia, specifically within the complex socio-political landscape of Sabah, a dangerous narrative is taking root. It is the narrative that indigenous rights are obsolete—relics of a colonial past that have no place in a "progressive" future. It is a narrative that weaponises

I. Pengenalan: Naratif "Sabahan Murah" Sekarang ada satu video yang berlegar di media sosial. Mungkin kamu dah tengok. Ia menampilkan seorang lelaki bertopi kopiah, bercakap dengan intonasi seperti penceramah, meratap tentang kejatuhan Sabah.

The recent online reaction to a Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) account, which seemingly celebrated a Petronas victory in a legal dispute, has exposed a profound fault line in Malaysia's federation: the issue of Sarawak’s autonomy and resource ownership. Rather than focusing on corporate triumph, the
Recently, I noticed something frustrating and profoundly illuminating about my 4rest.brave domain. When attempting resolution using the centralized NextDNS resolver, other resolver authorities appeared to claim ownership, pushing my domain onto a website that falsely presented it as a marketplace item.

The Illusion of Academic Necessity I've been seriously questioning the automatic assumption that a university degree is the only path to success. We already have quality college diplomas, accessible education, electricity, and transportation. The exact degree I want is available nearby in my state at different, comparable institutions,
Introduction: The Sustainable Tech Stack Over time, I've relentlessly experimented with self-hosting various services, particularly those in the Fediverse. Through sheer trial, error, and inevitable autistic burnout from complexity, I’ve arrived at a crucial realization: not everything that can be self-hosted should be. This reflection clarifies my
I. Introduction: The Return to Sincerity This record captures a personal transformation that unfolded over years, reaching painful clarity recently. It is about letting go of the hollow validation that digital life encourages and waking up from the toxic trap of performative healing. My focus is now ruthlessly on what

I want to talk about something that sits heavy on me—an experience that perfectly illustrates the failure of online communities to uphold basic human dignity. It involves my time on the Lemmy.World instance of the Lemmy platform. I joined that space with optimism, believing it could be a
