It can barely cover the cost of actually maintaining and building the infrastructure used to support the use of the car in the first place.Research has shown that the externalities of owning a car as well as a car-centric society actually cost way way more than what any car owner pay in tax.\nSome negative externalities such as:- Noise pollution (Extra resources has to be placed in order to reduce noise pollution in domestic area)\n- Traffic accidents (It is a fact of life that private vehicle, cause more accidents than public transport on a per capita basis; the larger and faster the vehicle, the deadlier the accident)\n- Cost of space -> Cars take up much more space than motorcycle, bicycle or any other forms of transport, public or otherwise, these space are precious valuable space that could be used for commercial purposes or to build houses and etc. We haven't even touch upon all the wasted space reserved just for parking. There are always more parking than cars, and when a space is not parked, it is essentially wasted space, with virtually half of those parking space not used for the better part of every day when the car is actually on the road.\n- Cost of road -> This touches upon the cost of space but the more cars and the heavier the vehicle, the more maintenance is required to keep the road functional. 50 cars transporting 100 people and 3 bus transporting 100 people has different impact on the road. We also needed to include the manpower required to maintain all of these: - the engineers as well as workers to build the road, the eletrician to maintain the traffic lights and street light.\n- Air pollution -> This directly impacts everyone, no matter how small or how big it is. It may cause everyone to be negatively impacted.\nIn this research here - Sciencedirect\"Results suggest that each kilometer driven by car incurs an external cost of \u20ac0.11, while cycling and walking represent benefits of \u20ac0.18 and \u20ac0.37 per kilometer. \"\nCar incurs an external society cost while walking and cycling results in a societal net benefit. As well as the attached image, from here to visually represent the societal cost of car ownership / car-centric society. If anything, we don't pay enough for road tax and car license, and it is all subsidised on top of the already subsidised petrol to further burden the society on this unsustainable transport modal.\nYou can also see on the image, the biggest cost to the user of bus, walking or cycling is wait time, time taken, risk of accident and fare/ cost of equipment. However, all of these can be reduced by a non car-centric city planning to reduce risk of accident, time taken for walking and cycling. Wait time can be reduced for bus just by increasing frequency or designing the city with bus commuting in mind. Risk of accidents to cyclist and walking can be greatly minimised when there isn't that many car to begin with. While research I provided here are based in Europe and USA, most of the concept applies worldwide.\n<image>"], ["subscription based models generate more income than one off payment\u2026look at cars these days, subscription based heated seats, planned obsolescence"]]}

The teen claimed the teacher called her into the school\u2019s sports room purportedly to discuss her performance in hockey.\nShe claimed that while initially he was discussing the sport, he then suddenly used his smartphone to snap photos of her, using the excuse that she was the hockey captain.\nThe teen alleged that the teacher then directed her to pose in multiple positions while he snapped the photos, including for her to face him and repeatedly open and close her eyes and mouth.\nShe claimed that she felt compelled to abide by his photo-snapping directives, which she never consented to, including having her back towards him while bending forward and resting her hand on a cabinet.\nThe plaintiff claimed that the second incident took place at 9.30pm in December of the same year during the school holiday when the teacher allegedly texted her on WhatsApp while she was at home and directed her to snap several photos of herself.\nThe student alleged that the defendant directed her to snap photos of her in various positions and poses, including of her crawling and repeatedly opening and closing her eyes and mouth while lying down.\nShe claimed that this went on until about 3am, with the teacher allegedly repeatedly messaging her to snap the photos and send him the pictures until he was satisfied.\nShe said that she then felt compelled to abide by his directives to delete all the WhatsApp messages as well as photos she snapped on her mobile phone.\nOthers harassed as well\nAlongside her mother and older brother, who are co-plaintiffs, the girl contended that the teacher\u2019s sexually charged directives amounted to attempts to normalise these incidents and groom her.\nShe alleged that immediately after the two purported incidents in 2019, she found out that certain members of her hockey team had also received similar directives from the teacher.\nShe claimed that around January 2020, the teacher had again messaged her on WhatsApp while she was at home sick and asked for her to snap photos of herself with the excuse of trying to ascertain her condition.\nShe declined, resulting in the teacher deleting the said messages.\nThe teen recalled that later in February of the same year, a female student of the same school had lodged a report over alleged sexual harassment by the same teacher.\nShe claimed, however, that it took her until December 2021 before she burst into tears in front of her older brother while they both were walking from their home to a convenience store, where she told him what happened.\nThe student explained that her family then repeatedly had several meetings with multiple members of the school faculty, who allegedly admitted the teacher\u2019s sexual harassment acts but failed to take appropriate action against him.\nMental trauma\nShe claimed that following the incident, she suffered emotional distress and nervous shock, which included insomnia, self-blame, low self-esteem, a change in appetite for meals, loss of interest in daily activities, and a tendency to become aggressive over trivial matters.\nThrough the lawsuit, she seeks general, special, aggravated and exemplary damages from not only the teacher but also 10 other defendants.\nThese 10 other defendants are the school principal, five members of the school faculty, the Selangor state education director, the education minister, and the ministry, as well as the federal government.\nMeanwhile, in his statement of defence, the teacher denied the student\u2019s sexual harassment claims, pointing out that he has an alibi witness to attest he never called her into the school\u2019s sports room.\nHe also denied ever having sent any WhatsApp messages to the girl that amounted to sexual harassment.\nLaw firm Faizal Rahman & Co is acting for the girl and her family.\nLaw firm Khairul Anan & Partners represents the teacher, while the Attorney-General\u2019s Chambers represents the rest of the defendants."], ["I reaally hope this doesnt end up like ain's case back in 2021, at least her name is kept anonymous", "Speaking of Ain's case, is she still being targeted by those kinda people?

Is it accidental? Is it sabotage?

I'd say just forget about the blaming game and just make it right.

You can't honestly expect one government agency to do all these.\nIf you want the most secured way to prevent data leak, go back to pencil and paper and store it in a vault.\nDeveloping infosec industry together with the infrastructure in the country (e.g. legislation, enforcement, education/HR production, adoption of infosec knowledge by all data users) is how you make sure data is handled properly. Not by hogging everything to the government. Him being the minister of economic affairs should understand how bad it is to do everything in the civil service instead of outsourcing.\nCan you even tell us what internal controls are in place to prevent the leaks? Who holds the logs to data access? Who hold the access to data? Who designed and has access to the audit mechanism?\nAnother way to see it - whom will you trust more with your data? 3rd parties that is regulated by laws - that has actual penalties for not having proper controls (i.e. if the law is enforced properly)? Or the government who is \"regulated\" by the said \"regulations\" with no real punishment for mishandling the data?\nAnyone know what \"regulations\" is he even talking about?
