Taiwan vital to Indo-Pacific strategy

What we really need now is the Taiwanese government and public raising their voices, because Japan is not the same as it was before.
The administration of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga often stresses the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and most Japanese politicians and members of the public are pro-Taiwan and anti-China.
If they could hear the Taiwanese government and public say that “Taiwan is a sovereign and independent country, not a part of China,” the Japanese government and public would find it hard to ignore MEXT’s inappropriate pandering to China.
Hopefully, future Japanese textbooks will lead children to understand that Taiwan and China are two completely different countries, and Taiwan is the one that is our true friend, as well as that China has no right to annex Taiwan.

Situasi sekarang adalah petunjuk jelas yang menunjukkan apa yang akan berlaku bila kuasa mentadbir diberikan sepenuhnya kepada orang-orang politik sahaja. Di dalam situasi hari ini apa yang paling penting adalah kebajikan rakyat harus sentiasa diutamakan dan pemulihan ekonomi dapat terus bergerak dengan lancar. Semoga Allah memberkati kebijaksanaan Raja-Raja Melayu untuk menjaga kestabilan negara dan melindungi negara daripada ancaman orang-orang yang tamak dan menggilakan kuasa demi kepentingan peribadi.
Inilah pentingnya sistem beraja dimana Raja-Raja Melayu berfungsi memberi kelebihan "check & balance" dalam pentadbiran negara. Doa dan harapan saya adalah Kestabilan. Semoga ALLAH sentiasa memberkati Raja-Raja Melayu.
ALLAH PELIHARAKAN SULTAN

The current situation is a clear indication of what would happen when power to rule is left entirely to politicians only. In today's scenario, the most important thing should be prioritising the people's welfare and ensuring the economy continues to recover efficiently. May Allah bless the Malay Rulers with wisdom to ensure the country's stability and protect the country from threats of those who are greedy and power crazy for their personal interests.
This is the importance of the monarchy where the Malay Rulers function in positively providing a "check & balance" in national administration. I pray and hope for Stability. May ALLAH always Bless the Malay Rulers.
ALLAH PELIHARAKAN SULTAN.

Truth about long lean muscles.
.
In order to strengthen ( build) muscles, we need to contract them ( squeeze, a force that causes muscles to shorten ). And when we want to gain #Flexibilty , we stretch ( push out ) to lengthen the muscles. In yoga, they both happen at the same time, push and pull, shorten and lengthen, sounds like an #Oxymoron , eh?
.
Let's say, in #HalfMoonPose , while you're pushing hard to one side to stretch ( lengthen ), the other side will be squeezing really tight, and your core will be activated, with firm legs to prevent you from tipping over. So the harder you push to stretch, the stronger you'll have to squeeze that core to seek stability, it's a constant Tug of War inside you.
.
Note: Unless I'm sleeping, my core is activated at all times, when I stand, when I sit, 24/7 !!
.
When you find the perfect balance between that #force and #surrendering, you'll become strong and flexible. It took me years and years of practice to finally realize the importance of that beautiful #Harmony . And the most important lesson I've learned from it, whether in yoga practice or in life is, KEEPING EVERYTHING IN PERSPECTIVE, #physically and #mentally , #Namaste 🙏.

90 minutes #yoga then #5minutesPlanking ( #sidePlankVariations only ) #noBreaks . #Namaste 🙏!
