the things i don't give a damn

 got this from chatgpt. 

Puak Ghee Hin (義興) was a Chinese secret society, historically known as one of the most influential kongsi gelap in 19th-century Malaya.

It was particularly active in Penang, Perak, Malacca and Singapore.

1. Who were the Ghee Hin?

• Originated from southern China.
• Initially dominated by Cantonese-speaking Chinese.
• Had connections to the wider Chinese secret-society network known as the Triads or Hongmen.
• Organised members through brotherhood, oaths and initiation ceremonies.
• Provided protection, employment and mutual assistance, but also became involved in violence and criminal activities.

2. Who were their enemies?

Their major rival was Hai San, which was predominantly associated with Hakka Chinese.

3. What happened in Perak?

The two societies fought over control of tin mines, mining resources and territory in Larut (present-day Taiping).

These conflicts became known as the Larut Wars (1861–1874).

The conflict eventually contributed to British intervention in Perak and the signing of the Pangkor Treaty of 1874.

4. Were they really a criminal gang?

Not exactly in the modern sense.

Ghee Hin originally functioned as a brotherhood and mutual-support organisation. However, it also developed powerful networks involved in territorial disputes, violence and other unlawful activities.

The British eventually suppressed these secret societies.

One interesting thing: Ghee Hin wasn’t just a group of gangsters. It was part of a much larger social and political network that influenced the economic and political history of Malaya.

my personal thoughts:

so, i need to keep canned food as an emergency supplies. 

canned food - mining industry 

are two major related things. 

kau nak bergaduh pasal lombong lantak kau lah!

yang nak libatkan life aku dah kenapa?

dulu, duk eksperimen virus covid, terkeluar lab. sekarang nak suruh orang borong makanan dalam tin yang mahal kemain lagi. eh, masalah aku gak ke nak kena fikir?!

memang lah orang rasa macam "kenapa nak kena fikir?" 

habis, kau fikir, orang kecoh pasal cyber attack, then pasal off grid living, then pasal shut down minimum 4 months, tak ke aku kena fikir apa nak buat?

yang media official news, deny. 

yang media swasta dah escalate. 

apa yang sebenarnya wujud dalam otak aku sekarang: 

Faiq kena bawak pencil case tak pergi tabika? 🥲
