National news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 14 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 100% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 6 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 2 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 7 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
63 reactions across 14 posts, in 14 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 19.0% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 14 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 63 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 6 August 2026 to 7 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Presiden Persatuan Ikatan Guru Muslim Malaysia (iGuru) Mohd Azizee Hasan berkata cadangan itu perlu diberi perhatian, susulan peningkatan aduan berkaitan beban tugas yang diterima iGuru sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, antaranya membabitkan tugasan dokumentasi dan pelaporan yang bertindih dan pengisian data dalam pelbagai sistem yang mempunyai maklumat hampir sama. #themerdekatimes https://themerdekatimes.com…

Prof Shamsul membandingkan kajian Cent-GPS dengan kajian Lee Hwok Aun & Muhammad Khalid pada 2016 yang mempunyai skop lebih luas. Beliau menegaskan bahawa walaupun kedua-dua kajian mengkaji isu yang sama, kaedah dan skala kajian Cent-GPS adalah lebih terhad. #themerdekatimes https://themerdekatimes.com/news/2026/08/kajian-cent-gps-mengenai-diskriminasi-kaum-pengambilan-kerja-tak-gambarkan-malaysia-sebenar-penganali…

Bekas Ahli Parlimen Bangi, Dr Ong Kian Ming menyifatkan situasi PH sebagai sesuatu yang "agak aneh" memandangkan PH sudah mentadbir negeri itu selama dua penggal, sepatutnya mereka mempunyai ramai pemimpin tempatan yang boleh membina kepercayaan dengan pengundi Melayu. #themerdekatimes https://themerdekatimes.com/news/2026/08/naratif-perkauman-yang-pernah-untungkan-ph-kini-makan-diri-ong-kian-ming/

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @themerdekatimes. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 14 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 19 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
