China isn't gunning for the Philippines. It's got Taiwan in its sights. Understandably, Philippines is nervous about China squatting just beyond Philippine waters, but it ought to be even more nervous about its security in the event of open hostilities between the US and China over Taiwan.
'The deputy president of the P-Hailing Organisation of Malaysia estimates 20 per cent of the 403,637 post-SPM examination students to enter the food delivery industry, known locally as p-hailing, as riders this year due to job and financial constraints.
'...The newspaper previously reported on June 1 that more than 458,000 SPM graduates are estimated not to further their studies in the next three years.
'It cited statistics from an unnamed source showing that 48.74 per cent or 180,680 SPM graduates in 2021, an increase from the 35.16 per cent, or 115,939 SPM graduates in 2020, stopped their education after taking the final secondary school examination in Form Five.'
With these numbers the gig industry will be saturated ... but maybe high attrition rate amongst gig workers?

Coffee production in Malaysia has a ways to go yet. The Edge Magazine reported in 2020 on some of the challenges faced by coffee planters, those planting Sabarica (https://theedgemalaysia.com/article/cover-story-wake-and-smell-sabarica). Meanwhile, the Agriculture Ministry reported in 2021 that coffee yield in 2020 was just 4,241 tonnes! (https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2021/10/01/agriculture-dept-ready-to-assist-coffee-entrepreneurs-in-malaysia-says-depu/2010018) There's potential, but again, it's labour-intensive ... maybe Malaysia would do well to experiment with harvesting robots, to relieve the labour pressures across the industry.
The point is protein. Wheat gluten and soy products are meat substitutes for their protein value. Dairy is an option for vegetarians who are not opposed to animal products, but vegans shun it.

Me too. I used to spend hours on Reddit. Joined back in the day when Digg users migrated to Reddit. I do miss some of the subs, but I've also become bored with so much of the recycling. Lemmy and Kbin are relatively new, but I welcome the open source concept behind federation, and here's an opportunity to invest in creating and being part of communities that own their contributions.
