Satu tweet beserta sekeping gambar yang dikeluarkan oleh pengguna bernama ImanNadieyaHassan menjadi sangat viral apabila gambar tersebut menunjukkan sekumpulan remaja cantik belasan tahun selfie beramai-ramai. Apa yang menjadi tarikan netizen ialah wajah mereka tidak setanding dengan umur mereka. Mereka kelihatan bergaya dan seperti gadis berusia 20-an.Biasalah bila benda dah jadi viral, jadi komen orang ramai pun semakin bertambah. Ramai orang terperanjat apabila mengetahui mereka berusia 16 tahun. Ada yang suka ada yang tak suka.

Lepas saja tersebar luas di Twitter, nampaknya makin ramai pula yang balas tweet tersebut dengan gambar seaakan-akan sama. Semuanya bernada sarcasm. Hahaha!

Bagaimanapun, apa yang memeranjatkan pemilik foto tersebut, Zakirah Zainal, orang ramai tidak henti-henti memberi komen negatif kepadanya. Netizen juga menyangkakan beliau adalah pemilik akaun twitter tersebut.

Disebabkan sangkaan tersebut, beliau telah menerima banyak komen yang berbaur negatif. Ramai yang menganggap beliau sengaja tweet gambar beserta caption tersebut sebab merasakan mereka cantik.Akhirnya, Zakirah Zainal menerusi akaun YouTube beliau menerangkan perkara sebenar. Katanya, gambar tersebut telah diambil selepas menjalani photoshoo jadi sudah tentu mereka mengenakan mekap yang tebal. Beliau memberi tahu hal tersebut kerana ramai yang mengecam mengenai mekapnya yang tebal. Menurutnya juga, pemilik akaun Twitter tersebut telah memohon maaf kepadanya.

Apa-apa pun kami doakan semoga Zakirah maju jaya dengan bidang yang beliau ceburi. Kami juga yakin pengguna Twitter tersebut pun hanya mengeluarkan tweet tersebut secara suka-suka tanpa niat yang tidak baik.

Owner Claims Communist-Themed Restaurant Is Just Satire — Not Promoting Propaganda

The owners of two restaurants in Penang are in hot water for displaying communist-themed wallpapers on the premises

According to Malaysiakini, one of the restaurants — located in Bukit Mertajam — was raided by the police on Saturday, 2 January, after receiving complaints from members of the public.The wallpaper was removed and confiscated by the police, while five employees were detained for questioning.The restaurant is run by a China national woman along with her Malaysian husband. The couple also has another outlet in George Town.Both of them have not been brought in for questioning as they are currently under home quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The issue came to the public's attention on New Year's Day after photos of the communist-themed restaurant went viral

A caricature of Mao Tse Tung, the founding father of the People's Republic of China and a communist revolutionary leader, is blatantly displayed on the wallpaper.The wallpaper also shows soldiers holding red books, while some can be seen saluting in their communist uniform.

Image via Informasi Tempur (Facebook)

Meanwhile, the tableware in the restaurant also has an explicit theme. One photo shows a plate with a caricature of China President Xi Jinping overshadowing the Great Wall of China.

Image via Xiang Ge Li Li La Authentic Hunan (Facebook) via Malaysiakini

Despite the communist theme, the messages on the wall seem to not contain any propaganda

Instead, most of the words are satirical to the communist ideology.One of the slogans on the wall reads, "Welcome my dear guest. The taste is fantastic! I like it very much. Please come again, my dear guest."Meanwhile, a poem above two child-like soldiers says that customers who have dined here will be blessed with love, pass the entrance exams, hit a jackpot, and get promoted, among other well wishes.

Image via Informasi Tempur (Facebook)

Speaking to Malaysiakini, one of the owners who only wishes to be known as Joey said the Chinese text was just humorous culinary slogans

"The text is not about promoting communism, it does not even touch the topic of communism. The content is all about food and our restaurant," said the 35-year-old restaurateur.Joey said she and her husband have been running the restaurants for four years, explaining that the designs on the premises were inspired by restaurants in her hometown."When I first saw this kind of design, I found it interesting and funny and thought it would attract customers (to take photographs and post online)," Joey said."When I started my own business, I decided to use this as a theme, but I really didn't expect that I would get in trouble with the law four years later."

The police are currently investigating the case under two separate provisions

According to New Straits Times, the case is being probed under Section 47 of the Societies Act 1966 for publishing propaganda of an unlawful society and Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for circulating any statement or report that might cause public unrest.If convicted, the suspects could face up to two years' jail, a fine, or both for each offence.


A Mysterious Green Ball Of Fire Was Seen Streaking Over JB And Singapore Skies

A mysterious bright green light was seen streaking over Johor Bahru's sky in the wee hours of the morning last week

The light was seen hurtling across the dark sky, blazing brightly before it vanished just as quickly as it appeared.The five-second phenomenon was caught on YouTube user Crystal's dashcam as she was driving in Johor Jaya at 5am last Wednesday, 12 February.

The footage, uploaded to social media and YouTube, has since gone viral with people wondering what the green flash could be

These two Facebook users think its Superman or Green Lantern who have landed in Malaysia.

While another netizen joked, "[It's like in] Shaolin Soccer. That year he kicked the ball into the sky... It just fell back."

Image via All Singapore Stuff/Facebook

Meanwhile, a Street Fighter fan said, "That looks like Ryu's Hadouken. He's probably fighting against Akuma again."

Image via All Singapore Stuff/Facebook

Other comments revealed that Crystal wasn't the only one who chanced upon the special sighting

Sharing her YouTube video in a Johor Bahru-based Facebook group, someone replied with their own dashcam footage of the bright light shooting down from the sky at the same time on the same day, except it appeared to be blue.

Image via 新山吹水站/Facebook

Meanwhile, in a Singaporean Facebook group, someone commented that they saw the same thing in Loyang, eastern Singapore, at exactly the same time."I saw this at Loyang at 5am! Same time stamp! I thought Singapore was under attacked (sic)! Thank God it wasn't a hallucination," the Facebook user said.

Image via All Singapore Stuff/Facebook

But based on the multiple reported sightings, it was deduced that the bright light in the sky is most likely a fireball

According to the International Meteor Organisation (IMO), a fireball is a very bright meteor, and these are usually tiny fragments of stone, ice, or metal orbiting from outer space that entered the Earth's atmosphere.The organisation, which collects meteor sightings from all over the world, said that the brightest fireballs are fragments just larger than 1 millimetre and actually occur every day, but remains a rare sight because they can happen over oceans and uninhabited land or even in broad daylight.

According to IMO, last Wednesday, there were seven others who witnessed the fireball from this part of the world

Based on reports by the individuals from Johor Bahru and Singapore, the fireball had lasted between three to seven seconds in the sky and appeared green, blue, white, orange, and even pink to them."It exploded into a huge fireball of orange, red colour," reported a May Lilian from Johor Bahru, "I really saw it exploded right in front of me. It felt super near as I was standing on my balcony watching it appear and disappear within seconds.""Stunning when I first saw it," wrote Mini, a Singaporean, who also commented that she saw the fireball light the night sky pink.The American Meteor Society explains that the dominant composition of a meteoroid plays an important part in the observed colors of a fireball. For example, when vaporised, sodium produces a bright yellow colour, nickel shows green, and magnesium glows blue-white.The fireball could have produced different colours while flying across the sky because of its mixed chemical composition.

Meet The Unsung Heroes Who Are Making A Difference With Their Sustainable Farming

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

This Spotlight is sponsored by Maybank.

Chances are, you've probably seen some of the heartwarming and inspirational videos that are part of Maybank's MYStories series

Launched back in 2017, the MYStories video series showcases collections of heroic and inspirational stories of individuals who have made positive changes in the communities they live in.The series' aim is to inspire positive action and ignite changemakers of good across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Additionally, it serves as one of Maybank's platforms to communicate, educate, and rally behavioural change amongst our people and community, in line with the bank's Humanising Financial Services mission.Finally, these stories of selfless unsung heroes also exemplify the core values that Maybank employees aspire to uphold, such as teamwork, integrity, passion for growth, excellence, loyalty, and commitment.

This year, Maybank is using the MYStories series to shine a spotlight on sustainability efforts

Image via Maybank (YouTube)

MYStories 2022 celebrates ASEAN heroes who have unlocked sustainability efforts that impact the triple bottom line — People, Planet, Profit.The series kickstarted back during Chinese New Year. Aptly capturing the theme of Water Tiger, the CNY edition highlighted the efforts of unsung heroes in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand to bring clean water to rural areas.

Following on from that is the Raya edition of MYStories — Rezeki Dari Tanah

×

As the title suggests, the theme for this video is Land — something that will never fail to provide for us and preserve the lives of all, if we look after it in a sustainable manner.The unsung heroes featured this time are Pak Salim from Melaka, husband and wife Pak Jamain and Kak Lily from Sarawak, and Pak Rayndra from Indonesia.What they have in common is a shared belief that when one sows the seeds of positivity through cultivating the land with sustainable practices, the community and future generations will be able to reap the rewards. Hence, 'rezeki dari tanah' is bestowed to those who cultivate the land, and  can subsequently be shared with others.

Here's a closer look at their stories:

1. Pak Salim (Melaka)

Image via Maybank (YouTube)

Also known as 'Salim 99 ekar', Pak Salim is an imam in his community. To him, farming is not only an interest, but also a therapeutic way for him to cope with depression. Plus, farming gives him a way to connect with his late wife, as well as with his present community.Speaking on the importance of land, he said, "Even if everything else fails, the land will never let us down. The land will still provide for us. Even if the rewards are few, no matter what, we'll be blessed with rewards."

2. Pak Jamain dan Kak Lily (Sarawak)

Image via Maybank (YouTube)

The couple, who are fondly known as 'Apai Long Sarawak', emphasise the joy of sharing and spreading rezeki through the act of sedeqah. With their shared love for farming, the couple have a strong bond with each other and the community around them."Our purpose of farming is to feed our family, to share with our friends, so that all of us are happy together while tasting the rewards from the land," shared Kak Lily.

3. Rayndra Shahdah (Indonesia)

Image via Maybank (YouTube)

Living up to his nickname of 'Petani Milenial', this young man promotes his love for farming to the younger generation, in the hopes that many more will gain interest in the field. He also believes that one shouldn't only do good during Ramadan. Instead, it should be done anytime, anywhere."When we inspire a person to do good, he in turn will encourage others to do the same.  The most important thing for me right at this moment is to do it myself first," said Rayndra.

The Raya edition of MYStories also captures the festive elements of the celebration, highlighting the cheer and positive outlook of this time of year

Image via Maybank (YouTube)

The end message even uses the joy of Raya as a metaphor, relating it to the heroes' hard work and their way of celebrating the fruits of their labour with others. It is with this kind of uplifting spirit and the desire to help one another that the ASEAN region is moving forward.

The Story Of Goh Liu Ying's Courageous Journey To The Olympics

"I am Goh Liu Ying. I am the Rio Olympics badminton mixed doubles silver medallist. This will make me proud for the rest of my life."

Goh Liu Ying and Chan Peng Soon after winning the silver medal on 17 August 2016
Image via AFP

Those were the last two lines of Malaysia's victorious Olympic silver medallist, Goh Liu Ying heartfelt Facebook post last night, 18 August. Goh Liu Ying and her partner Chan Peng Soon made history on 17 August when they bagged Malaysia's first ever medal, a silver, in the mixed doubles category in the country's Olympics history. Celebrating the momentous occasion, Malaysians came forward to express their continuing support and love to both of them. A day later, the 27-year-old shuttler took to Facebook to write about her courageous journey that led to the prestigious Rio Olympics games this year. The Facebook post that was posted last night has received more than 76,000 likes and over 6,718 shares as of today, 19 August. Liu Ying had originally written the post in Mandarin and Malaysiakini has translated the status into English.

Goh started the post by describing the moment she won the silver medal as a "distant dream". She was part of Malaysia’s first ever first ever batch of mixed doubles badminton team.

Goh also picked up part time modelling a couple of years ago by joining the Amber Chia Academy.

She explained that back in the days, the teams were usually put together with little planning. "At that time, Malaysia's focus was only on the men's singles and men's doubles teams. Malaysians were also only interested in men badminton players," read the translated version of Goh's post. In a report by The Malay Mail Online on 17 August, Goh had mentioned about struggling with knee injuries for the past few years and how she had to undergo operations on both her knees back in May 2014.The operation and the recovery period cost Goh and her partner, Chan Peng Soon their then World No. 3 spot, pushing them down to No. 281 on 5 March in 2015.

"When we won the semi-finals, I felt like I was in a dream. Did I really win? Is this not a dream?"
Goh spoke about how she spent countless nights dreaming about the experience of standing on the podium to receive the medal.

Image via Reuters via The Malay Mail Online

She said that their initial goal was just to perform on the group stage first, but they made it to the semi-finals, she thought they may actually have a chance at bagging the bronze medal. They ended up winning the silver instead. The post explained that facing the Indonesian team was made even more tricky as they were in strong form and Goh said that they did not end up performing up to the initial expectations. "Many people hoped that we could go for Malaysia's first gold Olympic medal but regrettably, we couldn't put up a good match.""Standing on the podium and seeing the moment our country's flag was raised, I teared up. I could only dream of this moment, I never thought it could happen," wrote Goh.

The Melaka-born national athlete said that the pair entered the Olympics game this year in the eighth place and that there were so many others that were far better than them

Image via Facebook/ Goh Liu Ying

"I am just Goh Liu Ying. I did not have such remarkable achievements like the Chinese team, I did not have the steady performance of the Korean team, I did not have the tactical strategy of the European teams nor did I have the experience of the Indonesian team. I am just Goh Liu Ying," said Goh.She said that while other athletes managed to complete their training set by the national team coach, she was only able to complete half of it, adding that she wasn't born with the body of an athlete either. Not being able to build up her muscles like other athletes, Goh said that she is more susceptible to injuries as there is less protection. She couldn't overexert herself either as she had just undergone a massive surgery a couple of years ago, making the strength of her legs lesser, compared to other athletes on ground. "I am Goh Liu Ying. I am the Rio Olympics badminton mixed doubles silver medalist. This makes me proud for the rest of my life," she wrote, ending the post.

This Spotlight is sponsored by Coway.

Did you know that nine out of 10 Malaysians suffer from one or more sleep disorders in their lifetimes?

This difficulty in falling asleep leads to feeling tired and unrested in the morning, as well as causes physical discomfort like neck and back aches.While chronic sleep disorders aren't easily curable, something as simple as getting a good quality mattress can go a long way in making sure you get a good night's sleep.

Coway has recently released their new Prime Series Mattress that's super comfortable, but still provides good support for your back and spine

It's made from premium natural latex that creates a unique balance of soft comfort while still providing proper support for your spine. Besides that, the latex material is also allergen-free and provides material breathability.The mattress also includes coconut fibre, which acts as a body support as well as provides moisture-absorbing properties. Plus, its anti-static fabric further helps to improve your sleep by absorbing all the static from your body and releasing it into the air.

What makes the Prime Series Mattress unique is its 5-zone pocket springs that react differently according to your natural body curves

With its flexible, strong springs, it can adapt to different body weights and movements. It also reduces motion transfer of your partner, so even if you're sleeping next to someone that can't stop moving around in their sleep, you'll still be able to peacefully catch your much-needed Zs.The addition of memory foam further takes stress off your joints, as it's able to contour to your curves to evenly support each part of your body. Plus, the topper is changeable which will help keep the mattress at optimum hygiene levels.

There's a mattress for everyone, no matter what kind of position you like to sleep in. The Coway Firm is a good choice for those who sleep on their backs, while those who prefer to sleep on their sides should opt for the Coway Soft.

If you don't want to buy the Prime Series Mattress, you can also choose to rent it, from as low as RM139 per month

Image via Coway

This means you can pay less, but still enjoy better sleep and wake up feeling well-rested. But whether you rent or buy, you'll still have access to Coway's 7-Step Mattress Care Service, which ensures that your mattress is always in tip-top condition.Here's what the service includes:- Step 1: Dust Level Measuring- Step 2: Frame Cleaning- Step 3: Frame Wiping- Step 4: Side Edge Cleaning- Step 5: Mattress Cleaning- Step 6: Dust Mite Repellent- Step 7: UV Sterilisation

[VIDEO] We Visited The 6 Most Instagrammable Spots In Sabah

Sabah is one of the most beautiful states in the country

Image via SAYS

Pristine islands, the majestic Mount Kinabalu - there are just so many lovely places to explore in Sabah!

We recently visited some of the most Instagram-worthy places there:

1. The Desa Cattle Dairy Farm

Image via SAYS

You can get an amazing shot of Mount Kinabalu from Kundasang, especially when you're at the Desa Cattle Dairy Farm. We kept our photos symmetrical to make them look more pleasing to the eyes. This is achieved using Canon's EOS 1500D for sharper and brighter photo quality.

2. The Kundasang War Memorial

Image via SAYS

We also visited the Kundasang War Memorial, which was built dedicated to the British and Australian soldiers, as well as Sabahans, who perished during World War II. Here, we used lines to enhance the composition of our travel photos - using the straight lines from the columns and plaques. Besides that, we also played with depth of field by taking photos through a 'frame', like an arch or doorway. This can be done easily with the EOS 1500D's different modes that are super beginner-friendly.

Check out all the other places we visited in our latest SAYS GoWhere video:

All shots were taken using the Canon EOS 1500D camera

Launch Your Dream Startup And Win A Trip To Uber’s HQ In San Francisco

This Spotlight was sponsored by MaGIC

Image via SAYS/inc

Have you noticed a problem in your community?

Uber founders, Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, were in Paris attending LeWeb conference in 2008. The close friends were complaining about everyday annoyances, including the trouble it takes to get a reliable taxi when you really need it. A simple problem that anyone who's ever traveled has experienced.

Do you have an idea that can make a difference?

Kalanick and Camp began brainstorming solutions to their taxi problems. They talked about ways to solve the global issue of finding cars at the right place, at the right time. They decided the answer had to involve two things: mobile and speed. That idea grew and in January 2010, Uber was launched in San Francisco. The rest, as they say, is history.

Image via SAYS/TIME

So how would you like to turn your idea into a reality?

As an entrepreneur, you can take charge of your own destiny, be your own boss, choose the people you work with, follow your passion, and give back to your community, to name but a few perks.If that sounds like your dream, then maybe it's time to make it come true.

[VIDEO] Dengan Hanya RM5.90, Gadis Ini Kongsi Alat Boleh Hilangkan 'Bulu' Pada Baju. Wah!

Perasan tak pakaian kita yang diperbuat daripada kapas bila sudah lama itu tiba-tiba akan tumbuh 'bulu'

Pakaian berbulu ini terjadi ketika serat pada kain atau pakaian bergesekan sehingga menyebabkan bahan itu rosak dan membentuk tumpukan bulu-bulu kecil. Hal ini biasanya berlaku disebabkan baju yang dicuci dengan kasar mesin basuh.

Gambar adalah sekadar hiasan.

Tengok pakaian berbulu ini sudah tentu sangat menjengkelkan lebih-lebih lagi jikalau ianya terjadi pada baju kesayangan. Nak pakai baju berbulu ini selain membuat kita rasa tidak selesa, pasti rasa tak best juga bila dipandang orang.

Haa.. Sebenarnya ada cara untuk menghilangkan bulu-bulu nakal ini pada pakaian.
Apakah caranya? Memperkenalkan 'Rolling Lint Remover'.

Dengan hanya beberapa gulingan, alat kecil berharga RM5.90 dari Daiso ini dapat mengeluarkan bulu-bulu kecil dan menjadikan pakaian anda kelihatan seperti baru sahaja membelinya!

Menerusi laman Twitter, seorang gadis yang dikenali sebagai @SaidaZarifah telah memuat naik video demo menggunakan Rolling Lint Remover pada pakaiannya.

Nahh tutorial untuk you guys yg tanya how to use it pic.twitter.com/jcxHNbnvra— Aurora (@SaidaZarifah) August 17, 2020

Dalam video tersebut, Saida berkata dua bateri double-A perlu digunakan untuk menghidupkan bilah di dalam peralatan kecil itu.Dia kemudiannya menyikat alat itu di atas kemeja dan setelah hanya 30 saat aplikasi, semua bulu-bulu pada pakaian itu hilang. Bukan itu sahaja, Saida juga menyebut bahawa Rolling Lint Remover ini mempunyai ruang menyimpan serat yang telah dikeluarkan.

Nampak kan difference dia before and after pic.twitter.com/KF9aU83nIm— Aurora (@SaidaZarifah) August 17, 2020

Ternyata perkongsian daripada Saida ini berjaya menarik perhatian netizen dan mendapat lebih 17 ribu retweets dan 35 ribu tanda suka!

Mulai Januari 2018, Pemilik Kenderaan Mesti Ikut Standard Baru Untuk 'Tinted' Kereta

Para pemandu, sila beri perhatian.
Standard terbaru untuk penggelap tingkap kereta akan dikuatkuasa bermula 1 Januari 2018.

Image via autointhebox.com

Masuk sahaja tahun 2018, kenderaan baru yang berdaftar mesti mematuhi standard terbaru bagi penggelap tingkap kereta berdasarkan piawaian MS2669.Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai berkata mekanisme ini dapat menyelesaikan masalah penguatkuasaan yang melibatkan penggunaan peranti ujian yang berbeza oleh kedai aksesori kenderaan bermotor dan pihak berkuasa.

Liow juga berkata mekanisme tersebut adalah bagi memastikan penggelap tingkap kereta yang digunakan oleh kedai aksesori kereta mematuhi standard

Image via nst.com.my

"Saya percaya Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) akan mengambil tindakan lanjut seperti meminda sebarang peraturan atau cara yang berkaitan bagi memastikan kelancaran pelaksanaan penggunaan filem yang mematuhi piawaian MS2669," katanya kepada Bernama.Menurutnya lagi, langkah ke arah keseragaman garis panduan ini bukan sahaja akan memudahkan kerja pegawai penguatkuasa tetapi juga memberi faedah kepada pengguna.

Standard baru ini akan membolehkan pemilik kedai, pengguna, dan pihak berkuasa menyemak penggelap tingkap yang dipakai melalui label kod QR khas

Image via astic.com

Kod QR boleh diimbas melalui aplikasi pada telefon mudah alih. Selain spesifikasi penuh penggelap tingkap, kod itu juga akan mengandungi butiran seperti pembuat kenderaan.The Star Online melaporkan bahawa label kod QR hanya akan datang dengan MS2669 yang disahkan dan ia boleh didapati di cawangan yang berdaftar di bawah Audio Accessories and Air-Condition Traders Association (AAA).

Untuk penggelap tingkap yang sedia ada, Liow berkata selagi tahap transmisi cahaya minimum (VLT) mematuhi peraturan, tiada perubahan diperlukan

Image via Carlist

Walau bagaimanapun, kereta yang didaftarkan selepas 1 Januari 2018 akan dikehendaki mengikuti piawaian MS2669.Tahap VLT yang dibenarkan untuk semua kenderaan adalah 70% untuk cermin depan, 50% untuk tingkap depan, dan 30% untuk tingkap belakang dan cermin belakang.


M'sian Parents Share Tips On Saving Money For Their Kids Amid Rising Costs

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.

As a parent, saving up for your kids' future is probably one of your biggest priorities

However, with rising prices these days, it can be difficult to set money aside as we tend to be more preoccupied with current daily expenses. And yet, it's still important to save up for the future, especially when it comes to your kids' further education.The cost of tertiary education can really add up, whether public or private, local or international. And the last thing you want is to deny your child the chance to pursue their chosen field due to a lack of funds.

We spoke to Malaysian parents to find out their top methods of saving money for their kids' future.
Here's what they had to say:

1. As a mother of five, Laila definitely finds herself struggling to set aside money for savings

Image via Laila Zain (Provided to SAYS)

"My husband and I have always lived paycheck to paycheck, and have never really been able to have long-term savings. At most, we have emergency savings, which we often find ourselves having to dip into."With things getting more expensive, our household expenses have increased tremendously. From basic necessities like cooking oil, rice, and milk, to kindergarten fees and school supplies, we definitely feel the pinch."On top of that, one of our kids is OKU so he requires extra support, and that actually takes up the majority of our finances," shared the 35-year-old.

However, one thing she makes sure to do for each of her kids is to get them health insurance plans, which double up as savings plans

Image via Laila Zain (Provided to SAYS)

As the premiums are affordable and coverage continues for as long as you choose, she is able to automatically set aside that money for each of her children every month. And should they need it, the plans cover a wide range of health issues.Laila's recommendation is to get insurance for your little one during pregnancy itself.Another long-term savings method of hers is to open ASB and Tabung Haji accounts in her kids' names. Every year, she sets aside a portion of her work bonus to split between the children, as well as deposits the kids' ang pows in their respective accounts during Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, and birthdays.She and her husband never withdraw from those accounts, so the dividends just continue to grow year on year.

Image via Laila Zain (Provided to SAYS)

"It provides some peace of mind for me to know that I'm helping my kiddos grow their own nest eggs. I hope in the future, they can use the money if they need to make large downpayments, and/or continue to add to the funds and enjoy the dividends," said Laila.

2. For 30-year-old Sabrina and her husband, they are constantly striving to balance their expenses with their savings

Image via Sabrina Zainal (Provided to SAYS)

"As my daughter gets older, the more we need to spend on her. Things like new clothes, shoes, toys, and babysitting fees really make it harder and harder to save up," Sabrina explained.Wanting to ensure that their daughter, the almost two-year-old Atteyya, is able to not only have a wonderful childhood, but also a stable future, Sabrina and her husband opened up a shared account for their daughter's savings in the first trimester of pregnancy. They also started extensively tracking their expenses — a method which has helped them greatly.

"We scrutinise every single price tag, even raw food items, whenever we go shopping," shared the young mother, who is a news editor and presenter

Image via Sabrina Zainal (Provided to SAYS)

"Sometimes, we have to make do with less of a certain food (like fish or seafood) for Atteyya and our little family."My husband also takes public transportation more often to go to work just to save up on gas and parking since he's working in KL, where it can cost up to RM15 a day to park his car. We stay put at home more often on the weekends now too and do things like watching movies at home for entertainment."We've even cut down on going on short trips/getaways, which kind of sucks, but saving money is a higher priority now," Sabrina added.According to her, this method of tracking their expenses has helped them survive until the end of the month without compromising on Atteyya's future savings and her quality of life.

3. As a secondary school teacher, Clara is well aware of the importance of saving up for her kids' education, which is why she started from when they were young

Image via Clara Skeetha (Provided to SAYS)

Speaking from her experience as a teacher, the 52-year-old noted how many parents fail to save up money for their children's education, which leads to them being unable to continue their studies once they get accepted into university."It is just heartbreaking to hear when my students tell me that their parents don't allow them to continue studying as they have insufficient money to further their studies," shared the Kedah native.That's why when it came to her own three daughters, Clara made sure to start saving as early as possible.

Her method of choice? Opening a Simpan SSPN account, in which she deposited RM8,000 per year from the time her daughters were in secondary school.

Simpan SSPN is an education savings scheme by PTPTN that aims to help parents make financial plans for their children's higher education.Clara credits the Simpan SSPN account, which matured when her kids turned 18, with helping her ensure that her daughters were able to pursue their chosen fields of study. Not only was the dividend rate higher than fixed deposits from banks, saving in Simpan SSPN also entitled her to a tax relief of up to RM8,000 per year.As a result, Clara's eldest daughter was able to continue her studies in matriculation before going on to enroll in Universiti Sains Malaysia, and even secured a PTPTN loan for herself. Meanwhile, Clara's second daughter managed to get a sponsorship from PETRONAS to further her studies, in addition to the funds from Simpan SSPN.

Clara's advice to other parents is that it's never too early to start saving up for your children

"I would advise starting a savings account for your children as early as possible. In my experience, Simpan SSPN is a great choice. Invest on a monthly basis and make sure to always have both a short-term and long-term budget so that you save enough money for them."I would estimate that you need to save up at least RM25,000 for your children if they want to go to a public university, and more for private universities, depending on the course they want to pursue," she said.

For 25 years and counting, PTPTN has strived to make sure Malaysians are able to make their dreams come true and ensure that no student drops out of higher education due to financial constraints

One of the ways they do this is through Simpan SSPN. Introduced in 2004, this long-term savings product aims to encourage parents to save for their children's higher education while they're still young.In addition, saving with Simpan SSPN also earns you various special benefits such as annual dividends, income tax relief, and matching grants up to RM10,000, as well as free takaful protection and death benefits.

To encourage Malaysians to start saving early, PTPTN is running their Bulan Menabung Simpan SSPN 2022 this whole month!

From now until 31 October, there'll be all kinds of exciting online activities you can take part in.Here's a look at some of them:

Video Shows An E-Hailing Driver Using An Iron Cage To Keep Herself Safe During Rides

A female ride-hailing driver in Palembang, South Sumatra is as serious about her safety as she is about supporting her family.
The working mother has installed an iron cage to shield herself as she drives passengers around the capital city of the Indonesian province.

Image via Franky Paulus/YouTube

According to her, she decided to take a somewhat extreme measure to safety after multiple instances of crime against taxi drivers last year

"In 2018, there were five incidents involving taxi drivers," the female driver told the Indonesian man who was interviewing her in the cab for a video story."Some were robbed and killed, so anticipating something similar might happen to me and because as a mother I fear more than just my life, I've taken this step."She explained that in order to get the iron cage installed in her cab, she went to a welding workshop and had the welder there design this cage to fit her comfortably.

Image via Franky Paulus/Twitter

She revealed that she had to spend IDR700,000 (RM210)

However, the cage still has some finishing touches left to it."I want it to be covered with acrylic glass," she can be heard saying in the video.Acrylic glass is a transparent thermoplastic often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It is often used in windows for submarines.

Meanwhile, the video interview has gone viral

First uploaded on YouTube on 12 November, the video, which is originally slightly over two-minutes long, was shared on Twitter on 13 November with only 45 seconds of the interview.It has since gone viral with over 458k views and more than 14k retweets.

These 3 Malaysians Are Amongst The World's Most Influential Scientific Minds

Malaysia is home to 3 scientists included on Thomson Reuters' list of "The World's Most Influential Scientific Minds" for 2015, released on 14 January. Based on an analysis of over a decade of research paper citations among 21 general scientific fields, the distinction is meant to recognise scientists who are most cited by their peers.

The analysis, produced by the intellectual property and science wing of Thomson Reuters, made use of data sets tracking research paper citations. The three scientists from Malaysia, who are among some 3,000 highly cited researchers listed in the report, were selected by analysing citation data over a recent 11-year period and identifying those who published the greatest number of highly cited papers.

So who are they?

They are, namely:1. Professor Dr Wan Ramli Wan Daud.2. Professor Dr Siti Kartom Kamarudin.3. Professor Dr Bassim H Hameed.Below we list down what they do and their accomplishments in life.

Professor Dr Wan Ramli Wan Daud

An authority on fuel cell technology, hydrogen energy and drying technology, Prof Wan Ramli is the Founding Director of The Fuel Cell Institute, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and the Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Department of Chemical & Process Engineering, Faculty of Engineering & Built Environment, UKM.He pioneered fuel cell technology studies at UKM with the hope of producing indigenous fuel cells and hydrogen energy technology. The Fuel Cell Institute was established in 2005 as an independent research and development administrative unit of UKM.He has published 839 articles including 275 articles in international journals, 339 articles in  proceedings of international conferences and 225 articles in proceedings of national conferences. He has published 2 international research books, 2 national books and contributed 5 chapters in international research books and 5 chapters in national books.

Professor Dr Siti Kartom Kamarudin

A researcher at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Professor Siti Kartom's expertise is in the field of hydrogen energy and fuel cells, just like her colleague Professor Wan Ramli.She was also among the 14 National Researchers who were recognised as the recipients of Malaysia’s Rising Star Award for obtaining the top 1% of the Highly Cited Papers published worldwide.

Professor Dr Bassim H Hameed

Named second time in the Thomson Reuters' list, Professor Dr Bassim, in the field of Reactor Engineering and Adsorption from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), is a recipient of three Sanggar Sanjung (Hall of Fame) awards for Research Product in 2003 and 2004 and USM Excellent Achievement Award in 2007 and 2011.He has successfully supervised to completion the work of 3 postdoctoral fellows, 9 PhD, 24 MSc students and more than 50 final-year research projects.

Meanwhile, Prof Wan Ramli, who has a doctorate from University of Cambridge, considers this prestigious recognition as one of the most significant honours in his 36-year career as a lecturer in UKM

According to him, the Top Research Scientist Malaysia (TRSM) by Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) is good as it encourages Malaysian scientists to register in the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases and regularly update their citation data.

On the other hand, in comparison of Malaysia, Singapore has had its best showing in the Thomson Reuters' report, with 20 Singapore scientists making it to the prestigious list. The latest figure tops the previous high of 13 Singapore researchers in the 2014 report.

A police officer was recently caught puffing a cigarette near a 'No Smoking' sign at a hawker stall

A Twitter user posted the video on 26 January and tagged the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).

The video, which has since garnered over 9,600 retweets, was said to have taken place in the evening on 26 January. However, it is unclear as to where the exact location of the incident was.

Pls explain this, why police can smoke without 3 meter far from the table? @PDRMsia #malaysiabaru pic.twitter.com/bO2vOJF9Eu— Jimjar (@Jimjar420) January 26, 2019

Many netizens were enraged by the video, as it took place despite the 2019 smoking ban

One netizen wrote, "I want to save this video to show the police if I ever get summoned for smoking."Meanwhile, others told the Twitter user to report it to PDRM.

Members of the public can discreetly report smoking offenders to the authorities

You can call 03-88924530 to file your complaints or drop the Ministry of Health a message on WhatsApp at 010-8608949.If you are reporting via WhatsApp, you are required to include:- The name and address of the restaurant,- A photo of the smoker in action within the premise, and- The time and date of the incident.

Woman Dies After Myvi Rams Into Her While She Was Helping An Accident Victim In KL

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

Last night, 28 September, a woman was killed after a motorist rammed into her while she was helping an accident victim in Kuala Lumpur

The tragic accident happened at about 10.15pm on the Maju Expressway.According to Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Sarifudin Mohd Salleh, the 43-year-old woman had stopped her white Nissan Almera to help a driver who had lost control of their white Proton Saga and skidded in the right lane on the highway."At the same time, several other public vehicles also stopped on the left shoulder of the road to provide assistance," Harian Metro quoted  Sarifudin as saying today, 29 September.As the woman and a man were helping the victim, a purple Perodua Myvi car suddenly crashed into the two. The woman died at the scene, while the man was seriously injured.

Image via JSPT KL (Facebook)

No further details about the accident were provided

Sarifudin, however, advised people to be more careful and focus on their personal safety when providing assistance to victims involved in road accidents, especially in winding areas and in dark conditions."It is also not recommended that too many people stop in accident areas to avoid congestion and this will cause delays for the security forces to provide assistance to the victims," he said.

Leaked Images Of The iPhone 6S Reveal 2 Likely Major Updates

So, Apple is expected to reveal the latest iPhone sometime in September. But you'd probably don't have to wait that long to sneak a peek - thanks to some leaked images we found on the Internet.  The images were leaked by tech site 9TO5Mac which has a good record of leaking 'classified' Apple information before the launch.

Image via 9to5mac

Based on the alleged leaked photos, the iPhone 6S will unlikely have much change in terms of appearance

LEFT: iPhone 6S  RIGHT: iPhone 6
Image via SAYS

The next-generation iPhone will have a rear design identical to that of the current iPhone, similar to the transition from the iPhone 5 to iPhone 5S. Our images show no noticeable external changes coming from the iPhone 6 — even the Space Gray color has remained light, contrasting with the darker Space Gray Apple Watch — but it is possible that Apple’s final hardware could include additional tweaks.

        9to5mac.com

The iPhone 6S will also be equipped with the same speakers, connectors and microphones

LEFT: iPhone 6S  RIGHT: iPhone 6
Image via SAYS

The bottom design of the iPhone 6S is exactly the same as with the prior model, down to the number of speaker holes and the position of the headphone, microphone, and Lightning holes. This will be good news for case and accessory makers, who won’t have to worry about redesigning their iPhone 6 products for the iPhone 6S.

        9to5mac.com

Although the changes in appearance might be minimal, there'll be some pretty significant updates under the hood of the iPhone 6S. Improved battery life is one!

The report notes that the motherboard for the new iPhone is narrower than in previous models, which could hint at a larger, longer-lasting battery.

        mashable.com

Combined with iOS 9’s new power-saving features and low-power mode, it would make sense for Apple to also improve battery life by way of upgraded hardware.

        9to5mac.com

Thanks to the new Qualcomm chip, the iPhone 6S will be able to double up the speed of LTE connections

Image via 9to5mac

For everyday users, this gives the potential for significant increases in LTE network performance with download speeds of up to 300 Mbps, twice that of the current iPhone line. Real-world limitations of carrier support will, however, limit those speed improvements in many cases.

        macrumors.com

The leaked images didn't shed any light on the ForceTouch featured on the Apple Watch, but according to a report by Bloomberg, manufacturers are bringing over the Apple Watch tech to the iPhone 6S


PDRM Officer Allegedly Extorts RM200 From China Tourist Who Left Her Passport In Her Hotel

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.

A tourist from China was allegedly extorted RM200 when she failed to present her passport to a police officer on Friday, 31 March

In a video published on China Press, the woman was seen explaining a situation that transpired during her visit in Malaysia.According to the woman, she was on her way back to her hotel with a couple of Malaysian friends at around 11pm when they noticed a police car tailing them, causing the driver to pull over.An armed police officer approached their car and asked the group for their identification cards (ICs).The woman replied that she was from China, prompting him to ask for her passport instead.The woman then explained that she had left her passport in her hotel room, and offered to show her driver's licence and other identification cards instead.The police officer then insisted that he needed to see the immigration stamp issued by Malaysian authorities, or she'd have to be detained at the police station.The woman tried contacting the China embassy, but to no avail.

The woman said the driver then suggested she should try paying off the officer
