Someone should put a decree: arrest the four MBs. They are testing water to gauge the limits.

He has a list of court cases to attend. I think one is abuse of power and corruption involved his office and administration on mining. He had his scrotum on the butcher's countertop, probably hairy, unshaved, smelly, exposed.

When you have been exposed for your weaknesses, you made up lies and act like a saint. He is bending and giving a blowjob or maybe licking someone's turmeric fluids.

It was discussed in Hacker News [1], I think on the contrary, it is very difficult to replicate...if it is true at all...

"Sukbae Lee and Ji-Hoon Kim hit the first sample (the prototype of LK-99) in 1999 trying to prove the theory of their professor Choi Dong-Shik. Around 2017 YoungWan Kwon joined to the team and they got investment enough for to buy an SQUID and a EPR. In 2020, L and K hit with LK99. They tried to submit a paper to Nature, but was rejected. They contacted with HyunTak Kim after read his 2021 paper (the one you point), and HyunTak Kim joined to the team."

"By the looks of it, to me this is just the once in 5 years rumor cycle. The authors have been working on it for a long time and have been rejected by Nature. Other co-authors have said they weren't consulted before uploading the paper. The author who uploaded had to give a talk, and for whatever reason uploaded it on Arxiv before uploading, and didn't expect it would blow up like it has. For official confirmation of room temp superconductor, I would rather go with a big publishing journal group organising a press conference before paying any attention."

"Been following this very closely. Seems like the one takeaway is that whatever material this is, it's interesting. It's also difficult to synthesize in bulk, which is a shame because superconductivity is not easy to observe in non-bulk materials (think: powder)."

"The variables that lead to its formation are not all accounted for yet. The process is understood, but it doesn’t always work. So there must be something missing every now and then."

Don't get me wrong. You are obviously more knowledgeable in nuclear energy that I do. I am just the average person pointing out the obvious and recall the numerous disasters [1, 2] that vividly paint the importance of having the expertise. Japan is about to release nuclear waste water into ocean [4] despite international watchdogs and environmental groups protest because Japan has no other options.

I am rather pessimistic on our country state of nuclear energy technology and readiness, even with the technology transfer from foreign enterprise, it comes down to every single engineer, technician, and operator. When we look at the current civil servant and public service, it is very unconvincing to go with this route without taking a huge risk.

Let's take a look at the background of this project [1].

Project announced in 2007 during former PM Badawi administration, opened on 2018, after 11 years since the announcement.
Modeled after KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur.
The entire project was divided into eight phases, of which the second, third and fourth phases comprised a shopping complex, three office blocks and a 36-storey hotel respectively.
Project awarded to Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) and Perlaburan Hartanah Bumiputera Berhad.
**Veritas Architects was put in charge of the design works. **

3 major pieces:
Main building is owned by MRCB.
Butterworth station is owned by KTMB.
Ferry Terminal is owned by Prasarana.

The project suffered repeated delays. Land acquisition became the main stumbling block, as the parcels of land earmarked for the development were owned by several parties, namely the Malaysian federal government, the Penang state government, highway concessionaires and Keretapi Tanah Melayu, the national railway operator. As a result, construction of Phase 1 of Penang Sentral only began in earnest in 2015.

I can see why the delay and disconnect or even disagreement on the entire design but the decision maker could possibly went ahead and all stake holders worked in silos. Penang state government and the federal government has always been on disagreement, just see the unnecessary second bridge that nobody uses.

I looked up Veritas Design Group at Linkedin, select the 'People' tab, and scroll to the right and look at 'Where they studied' [2]. What do you think, is that 'that bad' ?

I briefly check the Kedah data, it appears yes. Young voters favor PN/PAS, older voters are swinging between BN basically UMNO as Kedah is predominantly malays, except maybe Sungai Petani and Kulim, where they were won by PKR. The map shows that only the cities are favoring PH, the rest are green, as bad as you can get.
