Haha. I would not be surprised if this is truly the case. However I do not believe that it's as simple as just straight up asking for money.

In his native state of Johor, there was a mega project called Forest City built by China developers that was effectively halted by then Prime Minister Mahathir in 2018. This PM has famously been known to have bad blood with the Johor royal family. My guess is this visit is also to discuss revitalizing this project, allowing China to recoup some of that lost investment.

Traveling with him are both the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Housing, lending some merit to this rumour.

Speaking of evidence, the latest UN report I could find was in August 2022. Direct accounts of 40 individuals from an alleged 1.3 million detained.

I do wish to see a follow up report

The way that Auntie feeds ever larger victory parties is an insanely awesome gag.

Used to be that 5 out of 6 on the team could be dead but the 6th was a Mercy with her ult charged. She swoops in and pulls off a hail Mary 5 man resurrection that totally wrecks the opposing team.

Or Lucio was able to speed rush an entire team onto point with a well times speed buff.

Those kinds of whacky plays kept even the most skilled players on their toes.

They patched all that out of the game in the first year or two.

The moral is play with the smallest hitbox, and team up with a squad of teammates larger than you.

Afro ftw! Huge landscape panoramas would be best.

After several anime involving medical professionals getting isekai'd, this is a welcome breath of fresh air.

How are they dealing with the "cold weather kills the batteries" problem? I'm genuinely curious.

I found this place on vacation.

Hugh Jass.

Not my idea tho. I saw that name on the credits of a video game. Never found out if it was a joke or truly the name of some unfortunate soul.
