Religious heritage site aside, a lot of amazing plants and animals are only found on a single limestone cliff or a few. Some stunning plants that are only known from one or two limestone hills in Malaysia are like Begonia amphioxus and Nepenthes campanulata. Just imagine all the species that were destroyed before they were even discovered.

DID YOU KNOW there’s a very, very hidden & affordable mixed rice shop inside Fahrenheit 88 at Bukit Bintang? I mean, it’s really, really hidden:

(My first time knowing about this place also. I know Wisma Cosway only)

Pro tip when in KL: if you’re around high end areas where a simple lunch can cost you at least RM30++ per person, there is ALWAYS a secret canteen somewhere where the local staff eat. Just ask the office workers…

Just want to share this pun here:

r/Malaysia wasn’t built in two weeks either. Give it time.

I’ve been testing a few Lemmy clients on iOS and although I still mostly use the mobile webpage as the beta apps are buggy/lacks features, some of them are looking quite nice, like Bean:

Still haven’t receive a testing link for Artemis though.

I came from smjk c and nowadays none of my ex classmates type in Chinese anymore lol. Sure we still speak mandarin when f2f with each other out of habit, but our work environments & in many cases our spouses are mostly English, so English kinda naturally replaced Chinese for many of us. We also speak English with fellow Chinese-educated colleagues at the work place.

他們目前在吉隆坡安邦路測試巴士專用車道喔！

不過，在巴生谷以外，沒車還真的是難以生存，因為公交設施十分貧乏。

Ttook the train to KL this morning and when sampai at KL only realized that my zipper is undone. Here’s hoping that my long sweater covered it up enough for ppl not to notice… I hope 😔

Watching this thread to see what the allegations are about:

In Malaysia we’re either gay and exciting, or gay and closeted PAS members

I’m a failed cina for not realizing until I saw this post.

There’s always another mamak…

For real though, at one point me and my wife weren’t able to visit any of the two mamaks nearby because one mamak was trying to hit on my wife and the other one was trying to hit on me

That’s exciting! This place seems to be growing into the biggest & most vibrant Malaysian community on the Fediverse yet (though mstdn.my on mastodon is also fairly happening).

There’s also some hidden nasi minyak lauk spot upstairs inside the apartment that my ex colleagues like to visit (the apartment is a bit of a slum, remember when it got locked down during the pandemic).

Edit: I don’t quite remember if it’s nasi minyak or some other type of nasi

Got a lot of iOS Lemmy apps in beta right now:

I’m not sure what the original product name/description was but the translation is certainly evocative.

I’ve been fully into ebooks for about 10 years too. Paper books have mostly lost their appeal for me since they can’t beat the convenience of having my whole library with me all the time.

My wife, though, LOVES bookstores and buying paper books even though she reads lots of ebooks, though many of the paper books she bought are left untouched on the bookshelf lol. It’s more for the sentimental value of owning the physical copy.

I posted on Reddit once in a while & stalk quite a few subreddits but wasn’t a “regular” user. I’ve been pretty active on Mastodon since the twitter-to-fediverse exodus though (before that I was mostly a lurker on Twitter). The fediverse has been a lot more fun than mainstream social media for me because of the smaller & more tight-knit communities.
