Respect is Earned, Never Given | 4 Ways to Earn Respect Immediately

Respect is a form of recognition and basic human right that we give, earn, and practice every day. From Dictionary.com, respect is defined as “esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability”. In short, respect is given as we honor another person in terms of his or her wisdom or achievements, even if we do not approve of everything that she does. This is a prominent aspect that we should have given attention to as the reason laying behind the word “respect”-How we earn it and how we practice it. The ImportanceRespect allows us to learn to accept another person for who they are without trying to force them to behave or act according to our expectations. It is about allowing them to break through the stereotypes and open up a new prospect for us, that human being is diverse and unique in their own way. It is the differences between us that creates our own aura and personality, and we are all equally important and play our part in society. As a human being, it is a prerequisite for us to feel safe, that no judgment, humiliation, and discrimination against us before we feel valued and important. In addition, the need to be seen as important is a timeless and fundamental component that everyone demands and respects regardless of the color of our skin, religion, nations, groups, or personality. Respect is the key to help us to express and perceive that importance.Earning Respects1. The Golden Rule: Treat Others How You Want To Be TreatedThe golden rule is actually found as the proverb in many religions and cultures and it all has the same objective, to emphasize the art of mutual reciprocity between people. It is a simple yet powerful rule. If you want to feel respected, respect other people first and people will surely do the same to you. For example, apologize to people when you made a mistake, be the safe keeper of your friend’s secret and try to help others if we are capable to do so.2. Respect YourselfRespect is always earned, never given. However, it is impossible for us to earn respect from other people if we failed to respect ourselves on the first page. Therefore, prioritize your needs and emotions starting from now. If you need some privacy, tell your friends and family. If you do not want to change your job, study the course, move to new places or you just do not feel like going out for a movie tonight, tell other people about how you feel and your decision and stand strong with it. If others see that you respect yourself, they will take your needs as considerations.

Assertive does not mean you can be arrogant or act in a haughty manner, but you are being yourself in a direct and honest way. To earn respect from other people, being assertive allow others to hear your voice and not to underestimate you. They have the right not to agree with your words or actions, but they should respect your voice and opinions. Keep in mind that our approaches or ideas may be different from others, but no one holds the absolute truth and answers.

Be Empathetic and PositiveDo you consider yourself as a positive and empathetic person? Nobody wants to be surrounded by a person who spread negativity every day that secretly influenced us and allow the negativity spirit to creep into our thoughts unconsciously. Being positive even in the hardest situation helps in earning respect as we always have a bright outlook in the situation and might light up the team’s spirit to continue the journey. In addition, listening to others and being empathetic is important because if we put ourselves in the shoes of others, we will understand each other more and respect for them is developed naturally. Take time to interact with others, look more into their everyday life and feelings.

Disagreement, dissatisfaction, quarrel, dispute, and conflict can be avoided with respect from the first place. Thus respect is a simple word yet requires wisdom, appropriate actions, and practice to apply it. It is a good reminder for us always instill the quality of respect by learning to tolerate, never discriminate, and offend others while still being ourselves. Cover Photo: Canva | Pixabay


Will Smith Gets Slapped With A 10-YEAR BAN From the Oscars!

Looks like we won't be seeing Will Smith attending the Oscars for the next 10 YEARS!As quoted by David Rubin (Academy President) and Dawn Hudson (CEO) on Friday: "The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards."
  The decision was reached following the actor's shocking on-stage altercation towards Chris Rock during the Oscars on Mar. 28. The live broadcast saw Smith brazenly walking on stage shortly after Rock's monologue, before SLAPPING the comedian in a fit of anger. The incident was later dubbed "the slap heard around the world."Rock had jokingly made a "G.I. Jane" reference on Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, which later infuriated Mr. Smith. It was reported that Rock wasn't aware of Jada's Alopecia prior to making the joke.

It is the only icon for registered NGOs account. On the other hand, a ‘person’ icon is for personal accounts, not an NGO account.   Tip 3: Choose A Safe & Trusted Payment PlatformDo not send money to third-party websites. Always contribute directly to the NGO's bank account or via a safe & secure platform like Touch 'n Go Wallet. If you donate through TNG, do make sure that the recipient’s name is the said NGO's name, not a personal account.     Tip 4: Obtain Official NGO Contact InformationMake sure that the contact phone number and e-mail address provided by the organization are authentic, and you can get in touch with the organization at any time.If you are in doubt whether the NGOs are verified with Touch ‘n Go eWallet or otherwise, you can reach out to TNG at 03-5022 3888, or send TNG a direct message on Facebook or Instagram.    Tip 5: Never Donate via Spam Emails or Unknown Messaging AppsAlthough e-mail and social media are normal channels for NGOs to seek support,  it is also difficult to determine their authenticity. Therefore, TNG urges everyone not to donate through unfamiliar messages or unfamiliar emails.The best way to find out more about an NGO is to visit the NGO's official website or simply go to the TNG's donation page rather than clicking on any links attached in an email.

WATCH: "Why Are They Honking?" Johor Chief Minister Makes Surprise Customs Visit

Johor's Menteri Besar (chief minister) Onn Hafiz Ghazi paid a visit to the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex in Johor Bahru on May 2 and was visibly upset at the traffic situation.In a video uploaded by TikTok user @jdt01unite on May 2, Onn Hafiz can be seen questioning some immigration officials, demanding to know why the motorcyclists were honking incessantly."Why are they honking? [...] Something is happening here," remarked the chief minister. The clip then pans to a large queue of motorcyclists moving at a slow pace within the complex, while the honking continues. "This is the first time Im seeing this kind of traffic bottleneck. Something is happening down there," Onn Hafiz reiterated. "Why is there a bottleneck?" He continued to ask.The video then showed Onn Hafiz walking towards the source of the bottleneck to inspect the situation.Upon discovering that there was only one motorcycle lane open due to a sky lift blocking the road, he expressed his displeasure. He proceeded to reprimand the immigration officials and said that it was unacceptable, before instructing them to move the sky lift away.The video then cuts to scenes after the sky lift's removal, depicting smoother traffic flow and Onn Hafiz who continued to monitor the traffic from above.As of time of writing, the video has garnered more than 2 million views and 145,000 likes.Netizens were thankful that the Johor Chief Minister was conducting regular inspections on the CIQ complex and calling for better traffic management.Onn Hafizs inspections come at a time when cross-border traffic flow is recovering at a steady rate, leading to long queues and congestion on both sides.Some attempts have been made to mitigate the situation, such as allowing Singaporeans to use e-gates at the Causeway, a proposal to let travellers clear customs only once, and ensuring that counters stay open during peak seasons.Upgrading works are also expected to be conducted at both CIQ complexes in the near future.


WATCH: Student Starves For 24 Hours As Campus Eateries Remain Closed

A video shared by a university student who goes by the TikTok handle (bayinuckal) has gone viral, as he expresses his deep disappointment with the campus management for the closure of eateries, leaving him and his fellow students to endure 24 hours of hunger.The emotional plea has sparked a widespread debate on social media, with various opinions surfacing.#NSTTV A university student's emotional video, in which he expressed disappointment with the campus management for closing the eateries and leaving him and other students to starve for 24 hours, has gone viral on social media. pic.twitter.com/sHsNVqG1e9— New Straits Times (@NST_Online) May 1, 2023 One Twitter user, offering advice to the younger students, suggested that if they have the means, they should prepare some dry food supplies to anticipate any situation where the campus cafes or nearby shops might be closed. They emphasized the importance of being prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Adik-adik pelajar, kalau memang ada duit sediakanlah bekalan makanan kering sedikit sebanyak untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan kafe tak buka, kedai jauh dsb.Kalau kelaparan sebab tak berduit tu mungkin lain cerita tapi bila tiada persediaan kendiri ni susah juga nak kata. https://t.co/95buwJQIqV— Mohammad Faeez Harith (@H_Bakkaniy) May 1, 2023 Makanan sekarang mahal cik. Tak semua ada duit nak sedia makanan kendiri. Risau duit yg diberi cukup2 sahaja nk bayar apa yg penting. Dulu roti kering dgn milo tkde la smpai rm10 total. Sekarang dua tu je atleast rm20. Thats a huge money untuk student.— (Taylors Version) (@ayvvvv_) May 2, 2023 However, it was acknowledged that if a student is experiencing hunger due to financial constraints, the situation might be different. As the majority of students rely solely on the food provided on campus, going to town to purchase meals may not be a viable option for various reasons. Dalam kes ni kedai makan tutup tak sampai 3 hari pun.Dia pun dok bising sehari ja buloq sebab tadak makanan.Megi,makanan dalam tin, roti semua boleh tahan untuk sampai seminggu aih.Kot mana kena siapkan diri dululah.Dah ada ikhtiar seniri baru buleh nak marah kat orang len.— Mohammad Faeez Harith (@H_Bakkaniy) May 1, 2023 Nevertheless, even then, some found it difficult to understand why the student hadn't made his own provisions, especially considering that the eateries were closed for just one day.The conflicting opinions highlighted the different perspectives on the issue. However, in a recent update, the student released an apology video after it was revealed that there was a misunderstanding regarding the situation.   @bayinuckal pihak University sangat perhatin, maka mereka telah menyediakan banyak bantuan kepada para pelajar yang memerlukan. saya meminta maaf kerana misunderstanding  original sound - Bayinuckal   It came to light that despite the closure of eateries, the university management had actually made arrangements to provide food and drinks to the students, especially those who were facing financial difficulties. The student expressed regret for not being aware of this support and apologized for any misinformation or misunderstandings caused by his previous emotional video. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information before drawing conclusions and the significance of open communication between students and the university administration.

WATCH: Local DJ Body Shames Woman Co-Host & Guests On Radio, Sparks Outrage

A woman has expressed her frustration with a local radio station that frequently uses people's physical appearance as a source of humour. According to the woman, male radio presenters from the said station often engage in body-shaming jokes targeting their female co-host. The woman expresses her astonishment at the lack of professional ethics in the industry, although she understands that the radio station follows a relaxed concept. She believes that using someone's physical appearance as a subject of jokes is inappropriate.  @zavhia9 Pagi2 bagi aku jadi gorgon dah .  Sad song by piano and violin(886018) - NOVA   In a 1-minute and 58-second video, the woman questions the work ethics in this field. She reveals that the radio station frequently resorts to body shaming women as a source of humour, which she considers to be stale and irrelevant. She gives an example of a radio presenter who frequently uses the term "drumstick" to refer to the female co-host's thighs. The woman urges radio listeners to imagine how it would feel if a man body-shamed their wife, pointing out her flaws and mentioning her thighs on air.
Many netizens agree with the woman's perspective, and some have even shared similar experiences when listening to the radio station. However, there are also netizens who state that such issues and types of jokes have been present in the radio station for a long time, even before.

HOROSCOPES: What does my love life look like in March?

Not being able to see what the future could bring can really suck at times. We never know what awaits us and despite the intrigue of the unknown, it wouldn't kill to have some sort of guide/advice. In the spirit of that, we did some research about what the month of March could mean for the lot of you (in terms of love) with regards to your horoscope. Without further ado, check it out!Aries (March 21st-April 19th)
    For this sign, the month of March could mean taking things slow with your significant other. As fairytale-like as your love may feel, getting to genuinely know one another would work out in your best interest. Sit back and let time do its thing, for as you move well into the month, you and your partner would be able to experience proper affection. Your relationship will eventually grow, and when it does, you shouldn't be afraid to talk to them about your likes and dislikes. Communication is always key. Should your relationship be one which is toxic, you may want to re-evaluate what you're putting yourself through. Is this what you truly deserve? Never stay in a place that does not serve you. Taurus (April 20th-May 20th)
    For Tauruses, March would be a good month to gain clarity on your love life. You may be in a relationship or 'situationship' which doesn't have all the answers. Things could appear confusing and murky. However, this isn't what you deserve. Clear all the doubts you may have with this person and set boundaries which will serve in your best interest. Express yourself, communicate and discuss the basis of your relationship. Those who are in serious relationships, this is a good time to take things to the next level, get creative and start a family perhaps. Gemini (May 21st-June 20th)
    For Geminis, Pisces season would be all about communication. As strong and evolving as your relationship becomes with your significant other, they cannot read the inner workings of your mind and heart. Learn how to show your partner how you would like to be loved, and at the same time be open to talking about all your fears and worries. Be honest and speak up, even if you have to argue and fight every once in awhile, do it. As difficult as the month may get for the two of you, make time as well as effort for one another. It is the only way the two of you can remain connected. Cancer (June 21st-July 22nd)
  A new chapter has commenced for Cancers, and thus, March would be the best time to go with the flow, and embrace the adventurous time ahead. You would be feeling immense passion this month, and it would be good to channel those emotions to growing your relationship. Whatever worries you may have, be vulnerable and talk to your significant other. This is a good time to intellectually connect with them and discuss what the future could hold for the two of you. Besides that, March also means better sex lives and a whole lot of orgasms to look forward to!Leo (July 23rd-August 22nd)
  For Leos, March means showing your significant other how much you value their presence in your life. What the two of you have is magic, and it is okay to surrender to that divine connection. If things do get a little bit too routined for you, be sure to take time trying new things, adventures and experiences with your partner. This will certainly bring back that spark you're yearning for. Besides that, discussing more important matters like money, the future, your time, energy and any other commitments would also work well in your favour. There is no fault in being in a mature, adult relationship. Virgo (August 23rd-September 22nd)
  With this sign, the month of March will be about putting yourself out there. If you're single, then now is the right time for you to be looking for love, for your chances of meeting someone ideal are on a good high. Besides that, Virgos also need to learn how to be vulnerable and express themselves. You may want to try something new and exciting in bed, speak to your significant other about it, because a much improved sex life awaits you.You have to let others take care of you sometime, but you have to also take care of yourself. Put an end to the things or people who no longer serve you and do not go ignoring the red flags. Remember that your relationship with yourself should always take precedence. Libra (September 23rd-October 23rd)
  For Libras the month of March may be bringing a new relationship or connection with another person. It is a good and strong one, so both the love and sex? OMG, mind-blowing! Besides that, you and your partner would also be able to deepen the connection the two of you share, so lean into it. Don't be so closed off, or opt to repress your emotions. Whoever you're with is prepared to understand you, so communicate your needs, wants and let them in. This month is also the right month to have fun. As tempted as you are to keep it altogether, let yourself feel and be liberated, for only the best things await you. Scorpio (October 24th-November 21st)
  In the month of March, Scorpios would need to look within first and foremost before anything else. You may want to try new things in your relationship, especially things which would lead you out of your comfort zone. It is okay to be vulnerable and human, just communicate with your partner. Even tell them what you want in bed, so that they know how to make you feel good. Be present in your relationship, get out of your own head and learn how to say yes more often. Besides that, the lot of you would also be seeing some pretty deep and intense conversations coming up this month, as well as future plans with one another. Sagittarius (November 22nd-December 21st)
  For Sagittarians, it could be a rather trying month ahead. Relationships require work, so it's only normal that everything isn't butterflies and rainbows all day everyday. However, a good abundance of self-confidence, charm as well as charisma is coming your way, so use that to have important conversations. Whatever the topic may be, March is the right time to discuss them with your partner. If things becomes too hard between the two of you, know that it is perfectly okay to take some time and space away from each other. The world expects a lot, but you do not need to live up to those expectations. Just do what you must for you and your significant other. Capricorn (December 22nd-January 19th)
  Capricorns would have a fruitful love life in March. This is your chance to deepen and strengthen the connection you share with your partner, for timing seems to be in your favor. You will be loved despite your flaws, and this would be enthralling as you're usually at your most authentic when you're being no one other than yourself. Whoever who has your heart right now, is someone you can count on, a backbone ever ready to support your every whim. Birds of a feather flock together they say, so sit back, relax and bask in the ambience of it all. Aquarius (January 20th-February 18th)
  For Aquarians, March will be centered around trust. Whether it is trusting one's self, or trusting one's person, trust is the principle to channel in the third month of 2022. Trust yourself and your partner enough, to be your complete authentic self with them. It can feel scary, but if they love you and you love them, fear should take a backseat. If you want to try something new in bed, or try something new in general, talk to them about it. Orgasms and intimacy can be in full gear, if you let loose and jump out of your comfort zone. Do things you've never done, but before that, be clear with yourself and your partner. Pisces (February 19th-March 20th)
  Pisces in the month of Pisces would prove some good loving from a significant other, but only if they learn how to let it happen. You may feel like you don't deserve happiness or love, but chuck those thoughts away. You like anyone else, deserve everything and more, so let go of the things which aren't meant to be, and just let life unfold before you. It's okay to be in freefall every once in awhile. Express yourself with your partner, communicate your wants and your needs, as your relationship moves into new, more mature perimeters.

Unveil the Myths | Should you drink water before sleep? And more

It is very important to drink more water because more than 70% of the human body is composed of water. It is recommended that to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Although many people understand that drinking water is healthy, some people still have some fallacies about drinking water. Let's check out the following 5 myths about drinking water.  1. What problem will be arisen due to the lack of water in the human body?The lack of water in the body will dry out the skin and gradually cause dry lines and dark circles! This is because the lack of water in the body affects blood circulation, causing blood stasis and dark circles under the eyes. It is recommended to drink more water and eat more hydrating fruits and vegetables daily. When there is enough water in the body, the dark circles around the eyes can be gradually faded.  2. How much water is needed in the morning?Experts generally recommend that it is good to drink 250 ml of warm water immediately after getting up. Avoid drinking cold water after waking up in the morning because it may damage the spleen and stomach, as well as reduce metabolism.   3. Is it better to add lemon or honey to the first glass of water in the morning?Many people think that it is healthy to add lemon or honey when drinking water. It is true that honey helps defecation and beautifies the skin; while lemon is rich in vitamins and promote whitening. However, it should be noted that drinking lemonade on an empty stomach in the morning will stimulate gastrointestinal discomfort. Honey is also not suitable for long-term drinking, especially for people with diabetes, bloating or diarrhoea. In fact, drinking warm water in the morning can help intestinal peristalsis, promote blood circulation, achieve detoxification and prevent constipation.  4. As long as you don’t add ice, drinking cold water is good for your health?Based on the perspective of Chinese medicine, drinking cold water can reduce metabolism, as well as causing spleen and stomach dysfunction. Hence, it is not recommended to drink frozen water. Even if ice is not added, frozen water is not good for your health, especially for people with gastrointestinal discomfort.   5. Will I get oedema if I drink water at night?Many girls are worried that if they drink too much water at night, they will get oedema when they get up the next day. This idea is actually not quite right. In fact, the liver helps to store fat and convert it into energy when the body is short of water. The liver will share the responsibilities of the kidneys when the kidneys do not have enough water to perform their functions. This will make it difficult for the liver to convert the fat energy effectively. Hence, it will ultimately lead to obesity and indirectly causing oedema. For example, if you eat too much high-sodium food, the water content of the cells will automatically increase to maintain the normal sodium level in the body. If the body water is insufficient, the body will lock in water, reduce urination, and cause oedema.

3 Important Lessons We Learnt from Netflix's "Darlings" On Dealing With Domestic Abuse

First she served us Gangubai, and now Darlings. Alia Bhatt's latest just hit Netflix, and besides another phenomenal performance from the up and rising Bollywood star, we also learnt some pretty important lessons from the movie. A story about a wife who lives with an abusive husband and how she eventually sets herself free, here are the 3 lessons we gaged from 'Darlings'. Scroll below. #3 Abuse is a cycle which will NEVER end
  If he says he is going to change, best believe that he isn't. Once a red flag, always a red flag. The only light at the end of the tunnel is getting out of it once and for all. #2 Desperate times call for desperate measures
  As much as you wouldn't like to stoop so low, sometimes it is only in stooping can we get reprieve and make better decisions for ourselves. #1 True freedom is being the bigger person
  Difficult as it may be, a sense of liberation can only exist by walking away. Getting even may sound good, but it usually doesn't hold up long-term. Move on. Some pretty important reminders, catch 'Darlings' now on Netflix.


“How Come M'sian Indian Can Buy Expensive Car?” Youtuber Vikarworld Receives Racist Comment On His Video

In the vibrant world of YouTube, Malaysian content creators often showcase their lives, achievements, and experiences with their audience. Recently, popular Malaysian YouTuber Vikar World found himself at the center of attention after receiving a backhanded compliment on his video, in which he proudly unveiled his brand new car. The comment sparked a heated discussion among netizens, highlighting the sensitive issue of racism that still lingers in society.The Incident:Vikar World's YouTube video captured the excitement of acquiring a new car, a moment of accomplishment and joy for any individual. However, amidst the sea of congratulatory messages, one comment stood out due to its racial undertones. The commenter expressed surprise at a Malaysian Indian owning an expensive car, suggesting that such luxury was typically associated with the Chinese community. The message further mentioned the struggles faced by poor Malaysians, specifically focusing on the Malay community, urging politicians to address their issues.
Netizens Outrage:The remark made by the commenter sparked immediate outrage among netizens, who felt it was highly inappropriate to bring race into a discussion about Vikar's achievement. Many condemned the comment for perpetuating underlying racism and promoting stereotypes based on ethnicity. The sentiment expressed by netizens was that an individual's ability to own an expensive car should not be determined by their racial background, but rather by their hard work, dedication, and personal circumstances.
Addressing Racism and Unity:The incident surrounding Vikar World's video highlights the need for a broader conversation about racism in Malaysian society. While Malaysia is known for its multiculturalism and diversity, instances like these remind us that underlying biases still persist. What do you think of this issue? Comment below.

PM Anwar Still Says No To EPF Withdrawals, Instead Offers More Financially Secure Alternatives:

According to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the government has approved the use of Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors' Account 2 savings as security for bank loans to help them get through trying situations.The collateral arrangement is better suited, according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, to help contributors who are in "desperate" need instead of needing to use their savings.
  "I am open to any criticism levelled at me for refusing to permit more withdrawals. Yet we must uphold the notion that these are retirement savings." He stated in Dewan Rakyat during his closing remarks on the 2023 Supply Bill. "As a result, I'll make sure that the EPF allocates funds to contributors who have enough money in their accounts to enter into loan arrangements with banks."Previously, Prime Minister has warned that 71% of active Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors aged 55 and under do not have enough money in their EPF accounts to maintain them above the poverty line.What do you think of this?

Iskandar Waterfront Holdings & Catcha Group Ink MOU To Explore Building Internet Cities Across Southeast Asia

Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd (IWH) and Catcha Group Sdn Bhd (Catcha) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore building Internet Cities and technology business hubs across Southeast Asia.
  With the huge growth of the tech sector and the need for more centralized locations designed specifically to support the sector, IWH and Catcha recognize there is a huge opportunity to explore and understand in greater detail. The technology & digital sector now employs over 150,000 people in the region and constitute over 20 million ft2 of commercial space in the region, yet there is no dedicated city or zone targeting this sector. The team will begin researching successful Internet Cities and tech hubs in Paris, Silicon Valley and Shenzhen for ideas and inspiration. Following this, they intend to identify prospective locations for Internet Cities across the region. In Malaysia, locations in Johor and Kuala Lumpur are high on the priority list.
  This is a great collaboration between two leaders in their respective fields. Catchas involvement across multiple technology companies gives them unique insights into what tech companies need for growth. IWH is the premier master developer for the region and we look forward to creating the blueprint for a world class internet city with them, said Tan Sri Shahril Ridza Ridzuan, Chairman of IWH.The Internet Cities will be designed as technology business gateways for global tech giants from the USA, China and other major economies who are targeting Southeast Asia. They will also specifically cater to the needs of local and regional digital startups and growth business, with a focus on allowing them to participate in and take advantage of catalytic programs and infrastructure, as well as to be connected to the global technology ecosystem. Singapore has become one of the leading technology hubs of Southeast Asia, yet the cost of rent and talent continues to increase. There is a need for companies to seek a more cost-effective solution and the concept of a Johor Internet City is part of the plan. Furthermore, the Rapid Transit System (RTS) train between Johor Bahru and Singapore, commencing service by end of 2026, will catalyze movement of 10,000 commuters per hour every day, making the technology hub proposition even more compelling.
  Technology and digital companies are increasingly becoming the largest and fastest growing tenants in commercial spaces; yet todays projects still do not cater to the specific needs that internet companies and technology workers need. We see a huge opportunity to explore together with one of the leading Master Developers in Malaysia., said Mr. Patrick Grove, CEO at Catcha.
