A parking dispute in Kuala Lumpur has expanded into a wider debate over entitlement, public humiliation and online bullying in Malaysia, after a woman who damaged a car blocking her own issued a public apology that many said looked coerced. The row began on Tuesday in Wangsa Maju, a densely populated suburb of the Malaysian capital, where videos shared on Threads showed a woman unable to reverse o...
A parking dispute in Kuala Lumpur has expanded into a wider debate over entitlement, public humiliation and online bullying in Malaysia, after a woman who damaged a car blocking her own issued a public apology that many said looked coerced. The row began on Tuesday in Wangsa Maju, a densely populated suburb of the Malaysian capital, where videos shared on Threads showed a woman unable to reverse out of her parking spot after a red Perodua Ativa was left double-parked behind her car for about an...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Taking advantage of the recent earnings release of Broadcom ( AVGO ), I have decided to review how the integration of VMware from more than two years ago is performing in the numbers. It is a relevant moment due to the market situation, and because I think it also makes sense to check the health of the company’s moat before buying any internal or external narrative around the stock. Before going into the numbers, my first impression after reviewing the price has been, are we in a distribution phase?, could it be the prelude to a decline phase?. As a starter, I would say that the current multiple does not leave much room if the situation starts to deteriorate, but also that the management narrative arguing strength can be demonstrated. Let’s see then in what situation we find ourselves. Data by YCharts The moat is real We start from the results obtained by AVGO , that is, from the $19.3B of total revenue, of which the Semiconductor Solutions segment represents 65%. This is relevant before continuing because just one FY ago, the weight was 58%/42%, and the main reason this is happening is AI. AI revenue continues accelerating , and they already add eleven consecutive quarters, since in FY23 it amounted to $3.8B, in FY24 $12.2B, in FY25 $19.9B, and only in this Q1 of FY26, it already stands at $8.4B. For me, this is structural if we take into account that a change is taking place in the conception of computing infrastructure in hyperscalers, that is, with an XPU specifically designed for the workloads of these companies, it translates into more predictable memory access patterns, fixed network topologies, and basically, models that, in addition to being executed millions of times, end up being between 40% and 65% cheaper in TCO at gigawatt scale. And I say structural because AVGO co-designs these XPUs with its clients, translating the architecture into manufacturable silicon with TSMC (TSMC), which has the positive aspect of ...

undefined The contribution of high value-added industries such as biomedicine to China’s total economic inputs dropped in March, with declines in capital and labor inputs, a Caixin index shows. The Caixin BBD New Economy Index (NEI) came in at 31.7, down 2.1 points from the previous month . That indicates new economy industries accounted for 31.7% of China’s overall economic inputs.
