STEM life science

asean needs a single currency like euro if it wants to overtake, which it can

The only good thing of how bad the education system is I’m sure that my children can compete in the workforce after he graduates 😅

Pak Gita, you have not had any interviewee with Chinese philosopher or public figures.

Yang mareng mas Mardigu dong biar seru

Common first question raised by most muslim commoners: Apa agamanya Peng Ong?

5:08 at least you're not his real friend dude. Be honest by telling people a business partner and friend.

Please discuss with intelligent people what strategies can be done to Freeing Palestine.

It is hard to differentiate the competent good people from the bad ones. I think choosing who we’re going to trust takes a lot more than just looking at their achievement, we need to see their personalities and past history with people too.
