There was a major govt change in 2018, when the highly corrupt Barisan Nasional party lost for the second time since independence and an unprecedented peaceful transition of power occurred (the first time resulted in a racial massacre). Since then, efficiency and effectiveness of many (though not all) govt depts has climbed. That’s probably led to better reporting and information collecting, causing the apparent rise in stats.

What’s with the weird title?

You’re very welcome!

I call BS, I’ve never met a woman who found an amazing pair of shoes and didn’t immediately check if they had it in other designs.

Guess I’m in today’s lucky 10000

Well in theory, the courts, which are a separate arm of the govt. In theory.

As an Asian in Asia: I have questions about the pairing of ‘decent Chinese restaurant’ and a dish I’ve never seen in Asia before.

It’s not Alex Jones making that decision, it’s the courts

I think you mean Alex Jones won’t sell to them. But it doesn’t matter even if he wanted to, since at this point it’s effectively govt property and it’s the govt officials who decide.

Every volunteer run instance is the best instance :)

Wow, 3 way tie. Wonder what’s the odds on that

That’s a very generous definition of ‘the worst’

The editorialised title is unnecessarily negative and hostile. Their approach is exactly what we should be hoping for from all parties.

Every bit helps :)

I’m torn between ‘that’s the spirit!’ and never letting you near a crime scene.

You’re implying dads need a reason to bullshit their kids besides ‘it’s funny’

I certainly wish we could have had a more likeable protagonist, but since I enjoyed the show, who am I to say they made a bad call? Mainly just wanted to grouse about it with others :)

Who cares why they’re doing it, as long as somebody is.

I know, I’m not calling the actor bad.

I don’t see the final punchline as being about alcohol. You could replace it with any other drink and the joke would still work.
