Network School, JS-SEZ and infernos
Some eyebrow-raising stuff down south.
Three briefs to cap a busy Sunday:
Network School… again?!
Johor polls post-mortem, and the federal lessons, if any.
The JS-SEZ, through the lens of electoral boundaries.
You’re reading The Malaysianist, a newsletter on money and power. Fuel up with a monthly, annual or founding member plan.
P.S. The founding member tier doesn’t have a ceiling; you can go as high as you want — it’s the ultimate supporter badge that comes with an annual report.
It’ll also grant you access to Brainjam with bangers such as this 👇🏽
And, yes, you can upgrade subscription tiers at any time.
Mulling a group purchase for family, friends and colleagues? I’ve got you. Group subscriptions come with discounts, too.
Balaji Srinivasan’s Network School is blowing up again after the founder posted a promo video in which participants said they were “on a man-made island near Singapore.”
That rubbed many the wrong way, because it’s in Forest City, Johor. And Johor is in Malaysia.
(In case you thought Johor was another country.)
