<h2>A Malaysian woman recently made an anonymous confession on X, claiming that her mother has been confining her to their home for over two months</h2>

<div class="">
<p>In the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://twitter.com/twtsecretsmy/status/1757008115529388483?t=siZEL-lvp8oIitK1JmgwJw&amp;s=08">post</a>, the 21-year-old shared that her mother had a history of isolating her from the outside world. However, the situation worsened﻿&nbsp;after she enrolled in a local university.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been living like this for years, but when I recently started my degree, she decided to lock me up in our home more than before.</p>
<p>&#8220;It has been exactly two months and a half since I wasn&#8217;t given permission to leave. I&#8217;m not even allowed to open the house&#8217;s gate,&#8221; she confessed.</p>

<h2>The student also said that her mother&#8217;s restrictions extended to her academic life, forcing her to pursue her degree online</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>In addition to facing difficulties in continuing her tertiary studies, she claimed that her mother forbade her from working with other companies.</p>
<p>Instead, she insisted that she work as an assistant at the same bank where her mother was employed.</p>
<p>This situation has taken a toll on her mental health, resulting in a decline﻿ in her academic performance and a resurgence of depression.</p>
<p>&#8220;I still have everything here but it&#8217;s driving me crazy. My grades dropped and my depression came back,&#8221; she wrote.</p>
<p>Despite being confined to her bedroom for most of the day, the woman shared that her mother would still reprimand her for spending too much time there.</p>

<h2>4. &#8220;For Chinese weddings, I typically offer RM500 or more, adjusting the amount based on my relationship with the bride or groom&#8221;</h2>

</p>
<p>&#8220;However, it&#8217;s been some time since I&#8217;ve attended Malay or Indian weddings, so I&#8217;m unsure of the customary amount. I would aim to give at least RM200 as a token of appreciation.</p>
</p>
</p>
</p>
</p>
<p>&#8220;Chinese weddings often entail significant expenses, and it has become customary for guests to contribute towards covering the wedding costs. From my understanding, Malays approach this differently, with the bride and groom prioritising hospitality and not expecting guests to cover the entirety of the meal expenses.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I usually give between RM150 and RM200. If it&#8217;s just an acquaintance or a distant relative getting married at a four-star hotel, I&#8217;ll probably just give RM150.

<p>&#8220;When I was around nine years old, I was at my very rural <i>kampung,&nbsp;</i>and it was soooo hot.&nbsp;The bathroom had a huge <i>tempayan </i>with a plastic lid. So, I climbed in to cool down in the water and ended up falling asleep.</p>
<p>&#8220;My family freaked out &#8217;cause they couldn&#8217;t find me. Eventually, my mum discovered me sleeping in the giant bucket haha. Let&#8217;s just say, she was a good mix of angry and relieved.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;In our uni days, my boys and I opted for a &#8216;budget-friendly&#8217; house with no air con. REGRETSSSS.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ceiling fans were not fast, so only hot air circulated. We tried looking up cheap portable air con units but it was too expensive.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, we put our engineering minds together and came up with an ingenious plan to cool ourselves — make our own air cond! We bought bags of ice from 7-Eleven and placed them in a basin in front of a stand fan, AND BEHOLD, WE BEAT THE HEAT!&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;When I was much younger, my parents didn&#8217;t allow us to turn on the AC during the day to save electricity. I remember coming home after school and it was just a scorching hot day. </p>
<p>&#8220;The child genius that I was figured that if I went in the fridge, I could stay cool without using the AC. I was halfway through removing the fridge shelves when my mum caught me, and proceeded to scold me. Hehehe.</p>
<p>&#8220;My mum gave me a long lecture afterwards, because she was worried that I could have trapped myself in the fridge and suffocated. :&#8217;)&#8221;</p>
