The Kijang
The Kijang, an icon of Indonesian roads, was born in 1977 out of President Soeharto’s ambitious push to build a local automobile industry.
Soeharto was on a mission to boost domestic industry. First, he banned the import of complete cars (CBU), especially sedans. Then, he offered incentives to develop a local commercial vehicle industry.
In the early 1970s, Soeharto launched the “Multipurpose Commercial Motor Vehicle” (KNBS) Program. the goal was to locally produce commercial vehicle that’s affordable and accessible.
William Soeryadjaya, the mastermind behind Astra (PT Astra International Tbk), was eager to create this iconic automobile.
The origins of the name “Kijang” are a bit of a mystery, but some historians say that William Soeryadjaya’s brother, Tjia Kian Tie, first floated the name as an option for this groundbreaking vehicle.
Meanwhile, Jusuf Kalla, a key player in the auto import scene at the time, was on the team deciding the name. He pushed hard for “Kijang,” a name that would soon become synonymous with Indonesia’s automotive legacy.
On a side note, historians have debunked the popular myth that "Kijang" comes from the acronym "Kerjasama Indonesia-Jepang." Instead, they clarified that the name was inspired by the deer, reflecting the vehicle’s qualities of agility and grace.

There are some stretches of road on this planet that remain in my memory like nothing else on earth.
One of these is the Petronas Sepang International Circuit here in Malaysia. From its inception in 1991 at the Shah Alam Circuit, to its relocation in 1999 to the state-of-the-art Sepang Circuit, this Grand Prix has evolved, attracting legends like Valentino Rossi, who holds the record for the most premier class victories.
The circuit has witnessed triumphs, tragedies, and transformations, marking significant moments like the move from the Johor Circuit (another circuit I have taken a race bike round at speed) due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
The upcoming Grand Prix in November triggers a mix of excitement and a reality check. Watching the pros tackle Sepang, I can't help but feel the gap between their skill and my somewhat more amateur attempts.
I am looking forward to the race, not just as a spectator but as someone who's personally experienced and felt the rush on this track on many occasions. The tight gap between success and failure at that speed – it’s not something you forget or ever take for granted.
It's a humbling reminder.
There are some roads in my industry and my work that I feel I almost know this well, around every twist and turn. I believe that if you genuinely want to achieve excellence, it’s not just about knowing the track; it’s about knowing how to do it in under 2 minutes time and again – like the pros!
In other words, the “footing” of your wheels is what matters, not just their rotation “speed.” Do your best to get to number one, but know the value of being able to maneuver every corner like someone who’s seen them all before.
Have you ever been to the Petronas Sepang International Circuit? Which stretch of road can you drive down almost with your eyes closed?

I took LRT Kelana Jaya and MRT Kajang to go to Bukit Bintang yesterday. Actually, this opening sentence is misleading, as it makes me sound like I am testing the rail network.
Public transport is important to me, and it will always be my preferred mode of transport. One, because it allows me to walk. I miss UM days when I had to walk everywhere. Two, because I get to listen to music and do nothing else. Trains are generally very noisy, so the journey is not conducive to work, reading, or playing video games. So I put my sunglasses on and explore new music. Three, I like that I actively work on minimising my carbon footprint. If you've known me for a while, you know that I have been using shopping bags, taking my own containers to tahpau food from Mamak, and recycling paper, packaging, and gift wrappers for as long as I could remember (my pen holders are empty sardine cans). Taking public transport is a natural consequence of this desire to live as simply as possible.
I don't drive, and ever since LRT Kelana Jaya opened up the line with its 50-sen tambang decades ago, I have used it very frequently. I make decisions about where to stay and work based on its proximity to public transportation. Proof:
OSK = LRT Ampang Park
NESTLE = LRT Asia Jaya
AIRASIA = LRT KL Sentral, then the LCCT bus to Sepang
FIREFLY = Skypark Bus
PRASARANA = LRT Bangsar
MUKARAMI COFFEE = LRT USJ21
(I don't put Cancer Research on the list because SJMC is five minutes away, so I walk.)
Honestly, I make my CEO friends take LRT or MRT. So I would always choose rendezvous points that would make it hard for them to drive, such as Bukit Bintang and Chinatown. And if they offer to send me home, I tell them to drop me off at train stations rather than send me right to my doorstep.
Living in Subang Jaya, I have 2 stations at my disposal, i.e., LRT Subang Jaya and LRT SS15. And with MRT Kajang and MRT Putrajaya connectivity, visiting sisters in Seri Kembangan and Cyberjaya is no longer a crying game.
The journey yesterday was smooth and pleasant; the trains were clean, announcements were clear, and people were polite and gave up seats to kids and older passengers.
I arrived at MRT Pasar Seni smack during rush hour, so there were hundreds of people. The auxiliary police were hard at work monitoring the women's coach. And later that night, adik-adik in green vests under the Rail Ambassador initiative were helping to manage passenger flow.
All in all, it took me about 50 minutes one way, including walking to the stations. All was well, and I was rewarded with meehun and ayam goreng from Oriental Kopitiam by my tres gentil mon amie.
It was a good day.
AI is like riding a horse vs a bicycle. 🤔
PJ Pereira shares this brilliant analogy from his experience working on generative art for his new book, Girl From Wudang, and for his clients. 🎨
🚲 "It's like evolving from bikes to horses, although bikes are more modern than horses. With a bike, you have total control where the bike goes, but all the power comes from your legs. With a horse, the horse has way more power than you, but it makes some decisions on its own. Riding a horse requires you to understand how to communicate with that one particular beast."
