Why do they have to spin the story?
Newspaper Title:
Do not travel to UK
The Exact Malaysia Travel advice:
Malaysians residing in or travelling to the United Kingdom are urged to stay away from protest areas, remain vigilant and follow the latest updates and guidance provided by local authorities.”

I'd thoroughly agree with this. Heck, I'm a white British male and these riots make me fearful. Fuck this whole situation, man.

What an absolute embarassment.

Coincidentally, a friend of mind's grandfather was Malaysian and she was already scared to go out. I'm definitely not sending this to her.
- Probably not an unreasonable fear at the moment?
  
  It's all understandable - although the violence is relatively isolated, I imagine it can be tense on the streets at the moment. So I can see why anyone would be worried, especially if you are a woman of colour. I'm not sending her that report because I don't want to add to her anxiety at this time.

Is there any outlet providing aggregated information about all the riots so far? I'd like to find out more but naturally " UK riots" just brings up the most recent event because of how media works

Parry shield. I wonder what the riposte animation is like (probably smol club).
