Related to my Doulos Hope post recently, there's another ship parked at Swettenham Pier, which was this one.
It apparently does two trips a day to "nowhere", but when I check today it is heading to Satun.
Edit: was trying out better ways to format the post.
Perhaps this article explains it, or at least gives an overview.

Had CC Lemon once from the can, and it tasted like Sprite with more lemon flavour?
Another clue i got is from Hop On Hop Off bus schedule.
Their daytime routes go along Jalan Raja (Stop 11 to Stop 12) but ends at 6pm. Starting 8pm there is a single night tour that don't follow the day route, but it does stop at "River of Life/Merdeka Square" for photos. Meaning the bus turn into Leboh Pasar Besar if Jalan Raja is closed for vehicular traffic (besides I don't think Dataran Merdeka area is particularly photogenic at night).
My guess is they barricade starting from 8pm or before Maghrib at 7pm, then reopen early morning like 6am if it's not Car Free Sunday. I've seen articles about DBKL plans to close certain roads as test runs to eventually only allow pedestrian traffic at all times, but no details.
Summary on BFM 6pm-to-7:30 discussion about youth vote (audio 56 mins). They invited 2 Malaysiakini journalists who worked on the Newslab feature on whether the green wave was powered by the youth (monyet.cc post), and also another guest professor who is a uni lecturer to understand this topic.
MKini has data down to polling districts (scroll to "Who did your neighbours vote for?"). They encourage readers to understand how the oldest and youngest vote, since their choices are drowned out when lumped together in the final results. However they acknowledged the data and article they presented can be overwhelming. What they found can be summarised in the next section, which I combined with the guest prof opinions.
Youth votes will largely follow GE15 trend. The youth don't favour the older BN, went through Sheraton move (-ve for PH), Covid lockdown (+ve for PN) and gig economy, which factors into their vote preferences. Urban-rural, education, employment, and income levels seem to be secondary factors, compared to recent politics and policies. They prefer a strong figure to lead the country/state to stability and look after their rights (not so much youth rights, but the preferential treatment kind).
Part 1 of MKini election simulator was discussed on BFM here (audio 50 mins).
Edit: Added relevant links.
A bit of a rant and off-topic, but I tried 7E-brand canned coffee and it was super sweet.
23.3g sugar in 240ml. Maybe some fruit/vegetable juices can top that.
的确大马人的华语比较“白话”，也很“杂”。不过你看看马来语：考试不容易拿A+，而且出来社会也没用那么高深的词汇，火星文更为普及。我们的Manglish也别具一格。
就像没有独中资历的我，不熟悉中文的化学名称、专用术语等。这里运用中文的层面不够多，往往都依赖英文词汇。个人觉得，所谓的方言不完全是坏事，而是彰显本地文化的特色。
After that Crackhouse was shut "indefinitely". Kinda feel bad for them but it is what it is.
Apparently it was not the same offensive materials as Siti Nuramira was charged for, as her show was on 4 June 2022.
Rizal the co-owner of Crackhouse was charged for videos of his own stand-up routines which were shared to social media between 4 and 6 July 2022. I don't know what the content was about, though.
Cant blame 'em, probably still don't know Queen Elizabeth died.
Also TIL The Istana in Singapore is serving a similar purpose as the president's official residence, and was completed a year (or less) before The Astana began construction.
Seems more reasonable than building a flagpole, but we don't know their budget on the new Astana yet.
Grab and Boost employs a points system, but you earn them by scanning their platform's QR instead of DuitNow QR. Expect fewer perks as a payment platform matures, unless they're trying to pull you back because you rarely use their app.
