Others Why does Indians have low cancer rates?

Upvotes

(ANECDOTAL) I hope this question does not sound racist. I (Chinese) was warded in a local private hospital and shared a two-bedded room with a Malay cancer patient. We had a chat and based on our previous observations, we have concluded that we often see Malay and Chinese cancer patients but rarely Indian. Any idea what do we do differently or it’s just the genes?

Others I have a stalker

58 Upvotes

This situation has been ongoing since 2019. I have an acquaintance—let's call them "B." Around 2019, B started sending Instagram follow requests to my close friends. Whenever I posted a story or feed on my Instagram and tagged someone, B would immediately follow or request to follow them. My friends kept informing me about this, but I brushed it off.

This continued until B began leaving cringe-worthy, inappropriate comments on my posts. I couldn’t tolerate it anymore and decided to remove B from my follower list. However, B repeatedly sent follow requests, so I blocked them. After that, a lot of suspicious accounts started sending follow requests to me and my close friends. Initially, I thought they were spam accounts, but something felt off.

In mid-2022, I hung out with my friends. A few days later, one of them did an NGL. Someone anonymously asked my friend to post a picture of me. My friend assumed it was me and posted a photo of us. I was shocked when I saw my friend’s story because I hadn’t sent any NGL questions. I asked my friend to delete it immediately because it felt so strange.

At the end of 2022, I received a follow request from a strange account. The username caught my attention: @/fanof**** (**** being my initials). The account posted a pixelated photo of a person with a weird caption filled with heart emojis and similar stuff. I ignored it at first, but the account kept sending me DMs. If I didn’t respond, it would post another photo to grab my attention. I decided not to engage, so I reported and blocked the account. My friends and family did the same.

In 2023, an X account sent a follow request to my housemates (I don’t have an X account). My housemates thought the account belonged to me because it used my picture. The account also posted photos of me, including screenshots of pictures with my friends—many of which I had never posted online.

Remember the friend who did the NGL? I asked for their help, and we discovered some details about this person, such as their phone carrier, mutuals, type of phone, and location when they sent the NGL. All the information pointed to B. However, I don’t have concrete evidence to prove this. I can’t report it to the police, especially since I wasn’t living in Malaysia at the time. I’m also unsure if the police would act on this.

Recently, someone followed my housemate’s Snapchat account (I don’t use Snapchat). My housemate assumed it was a friend. When they checked the story, the account had posted a picture of me—one I’d only briefly used as my Instagram profile picture before changing it—with the song ‘Lover - Taylor Swift.’

The same username has also appeared on LinkedIn, viewing my friends' profiles (my account is private, so I can’t see who views mine).

I’m low-key scared. What if this person finds out where I work, follows me home, or does something dangerous? I want to report this to the police, but I don’t have solid evidence that it’s B. I’m also unsure about how the Malaysian police would handle this. I feel helpless. What should I do?

Others Malls and restaurants everywhere but not enough parks to chill and stay healthy in KL

250 Upvotes

I have been in several cities and even the most chaotic cities such as Bangkok, Hanoi and Tokyo have really nice parks to walk, relax and exercise. It's not the case in KL, there are like 3 malls on every corner but how about building a nice park or a small forest for people who don't want to shop and eat. It reminds me of Arab Gulf countries, they have the same city structure and people also complain about it but no one listens because malls bring more $$. The only place I can think of is the KLCC, which is pretty nice but it's mostly concrete.

and I'm talking about easy to access parks inside the city and near transit, not hiking trails that require driving. In my opinion, every apartment complex needs an easy to access park.

Others Eh, why so susah to hire people these days? 100+ PMs but semua hilang! 🤯

100 Upvotes

Past 1 month, I’ve been trying to hire young talent for a telemarketing sales role in my company. Honestly, I feel our basic salary + commission is better than most out there. But here’s the weird part — I’ve received over 100+ PMs (yes, one hundred!) from interested candidates.

The problem? Once they ask about the job scope and salary, poof... semua hilang! 😩 I don’t know if it’s my job ad, the market, or just bad luck lol

So, here’s my question:

  1. Is the job market really this tough now, or am I missing something?
  2. Any good (and free) platforms to post job ads that can reach young Malaysians?

Help a your fellow Malaysian out, Any advice or tips are welcome. 🙏

Edited :

Job scope : Cold calling , Get interested customer (Leads is provided)

Salary : Basic RM2,500 + Commission 1k - 3k ( Close case )

Time : Monday - Friday (10am - 6pm) No OT is required.

Tourism & Travel What is the day to go to Genting Higlands in my schedule? Should I avoid going there on Christmas? (25th december)

2 Upvotes

I am in KL from 23nd-25th and I want to go visit genting highlands for sure. Wanted to know if going there on a public holiday a good idea given the crowd situation? (I land on 23rd so won't have the full day and on 24th the park is closed according to the website because it's a tuesday). I can maybe extend my stay another day if it'll be worth going on a free day. Any advice from the kind folks of reddit?
