[FACT OR FAKE #91] Do Kids Really Need Milk?

Drinking milk can be considered as natural as water. Since early childhood, we are encouraged not only by our parents but even doctors and teachers to drink at least a glass of milk every day.

It is, after all, "nature's perfect food"

We have all literally grown up hearing milk slogans like, it's good for our body, it's a natural thing to drink, it builds strong bones and makes us grow faster, etc. But do kids really need to drink milk?

FAKE: No, kids don't really need milk!

"Do kids really need milk? No, of course they don't," said Amy Lanou, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Most people in the world do not drink milk after they are weaned from breast milk, and yet still get adequate nutrition, she added.

        businessinsider.com

Although milk is a good source of protein, calcium and vitamin D, other food sources also provide these nutrients. What's more, there's no evidence that drinking milk reduces bone fractures, and drinking too much can lead to anemia and may contribute to obesity.

        livescience.com

Kids, in order to build strong bones and healthy bodies, need exercise, sunshine and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables that helps them maintain a healthy body weight, says nutritionist Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., adding that there's no evidence to support the notion that milk is a preferred source of calcium.

There are definitely nutritional benefits to milk. But milk isn't the only way to get them, claims Dr. Claire McCarthy in her column

It's a great source of calcium, vitamin D (assuming it's fortified--vitamin D isn't naturally in milk) and protein. These are all nutrients that children need. And for many children who are picky about what they eat, drinking milk is a good way to get those nutrients.But milk isn't the only way to get them. There are cultures all around the world that don't have dairy in their diets--and according to an interesting commentary in JAMA written by my colleague Dr. David Ludwig along with Dr. Walter Willett from the Harvard School of Public Health, bone fracture rates tend to be lower in countries without dairy in their diets, and drinking milk doesn't seem to protect against fractures in adults.

Did you know 75% of the world's population has lactose intolerance or cannot comfortably digest lactose, a sugar found in milk. Also, drinking too much milk can lead to anemia.

The calorie-laden beverage could also promote obesity

Image via blogspot.com

A December 2014 study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood found that preschoolers who drink three or more servings of milk a day are likelier to be taller, but also more obese and overweight. Whole, or full-fat, milk has high levels of saturated fat, which has been tied to health problems. And some studies suggest low-fat and skim milk may not be an answer, because people feel less full after drinking it.

        livescience.com

What about flavoured milk? Well, it's even more dubious.

Image via giphy.com

"An 8-ounce glass of low-fat chocolate milk has the same number of calories from sugar as an 8-ounce glass of Coke or Pepsi," Lanou said. Added sugar has been tied to a host of health problems, from obesity to diabetes to heart disease.

        businessinsider.com

In the end, as LiveScience notes, milk isn't completely useless

"..milk may not be a superfood, but it does provide valuable nutrients that can be hard to get into kids in other ways", said Dr. Jonathon Maguire, a pediatrician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.Maguire has found that children seem to have good iron stores and vitamin D levels at around two glasses a day, which is the current recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics.But if a kid simply hates the taste or has trouble digesting milk, parents don't have to push it. Instead, they can serve other foods to make sure their kids get the proper nutrition, Maguire said.

Send emails, or letters to them," Aizad tweeted, urging the netizens to do the same to the Islamic Religious Department of the seven states."Make sure your voice is known to the seven states that disagree with this notion!"In a follow up tweet, Aizad then shared the email ids of the seven state governments.

Another email by a Kedah resident to their government voiced the dangers of allowing child marriage to continue.

"Allowing children to get married at a young age can trigger a bigger social problem, which is now being referred to as paedophile crime," the female netizen wrote."I do not want to live in a state or country that gives these criminals a chance to commit such crimes."

Residents of other states soon followed suit

A Twitter user from Negeri Sembilan tweeted to say that she was inspired by the actions of the netizens."You inspired me to do the same but if you don’t mind, I copied your words to send an email to the Negeri Sembilan Chief Minister!" a netizen replied to a tweet.

Meanwhile, Sarawakians expressed their disgust over their home state for not agreeing to ban child marriage

Unmarried Couple Threw Their Newborn Baby Into Sungai Kenawar River

A couple, aged 19 and 21, are under investigations for dumping their newly born into Sungai Kenawar

Image via STR/AHMAD ISMAIL via NST

The incident happened at 11.15pm Friday night

According to Segamat police chief Superintendent Raub Selamat, the father of the newborn, who worked at an auto spare part shop, admitted to putting the baby into a plastic bag before dumping it into a river at about 11.15pm, 17 November."We took the male suspect to the incident location at about 10am, Saturday, and managed to find the plastic bag floating near the river bank at about 4pm," the police chief Superintendent was quoted as saying by NST Online.

The baby was born in the woman's family house in Paya Pulai, Segamat,  and was about six month-premature

Raub said that the unmarried couple were held at Segamat Hospital emergency ward at about 4am, Saturday, when they were seeking treatment."We received a report from a hospital employee who was suspicious after finding the young woman who appeared to have just delivered a baby and was bleeding heavily in her private part," Raub was quoted saying.

While the male suspect has been remanded for four days to assist in the investigations under Section 318 of the Penal Code, the female suspect is still warded at HDS

The police have not yet been able to find the body of the newborn.

Earlier this month, a newborn with his umbilical cord still attached was found abandoned in bushes behind a hotel in the Royal Belum Rainforest Resort, Pulau Banding, Perak:

Mother Of Two Found Naked And Dead Under A Pedestrian Bridge In Klang

A 37-year-old mother of two was found dead under a pedestrian bridge along Jalan Raja Nong, Klang yesterday, 18 December

The bridge is located opposite SK Kampung Jawa 2 in Klang.

Image via South Klang Police/Malay Mail Online

New Straits Times (NST) reported that the victim's body was discovered by a passerby who alerted the authorities around 7.41am yesterday. When the police and forensic investigators arrived at the scene, they found the lady naked, with her underwear and shorts pulled down to her ankle. The authorities believe that she had been killed elsewhere and her body was dumped here. "It is too early to determine if the deceased was also sexually assaulted prior to the murder and conclusive findings can only be provided after a postmortem is conducted," said South Klang chief Assistant Commissioner Shamsul Amar Ramli. Initial examinations on the victim's body found bruises on her right eye and a bump on her forehead.

A fingerprint background check on the victim revealed that she had been reported as missing since 2015 and was arrested for a drug-related offence last year

Further checks also revealed that the victim had previously married and divorced a man who lives in Kuala Kangsar, Perak. The victim's two daughters, aged 10 and 15, have been under her younger sister's care in Shah Alam since she went missing a couple of years ago. Malay Mail Online reported that three suspects have been arrested in relation to the case. One of the suspects is a 54-year-old man that the victim was living with before she went missing and the other two men were her former housemates.

The victim's body has been sent to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) for a postmortem examination

The authorities have urged those with any information regarding the case to contact the police. Shamsul said that the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

Football Stars Are Sending Words Of Encouragement To Thai Boys Trapped In Cave

The football team of twelve boys and their coach, who went missing in a cave in northern Thailand, were finally found 10 days later on Monday, 2 July

Image via Thai Navy Seal

Two weeks ago, the boys and their coach had gone into the 10km long cave after football practice. Unfortunately, flood waters began to rise, trapping the team inside.During the week that followed, Thai Navy Seal divers, a team of more than 30 American military personnel from the US Pacific Command, and three British diving experts attempted to rescue them.Families of the boys prayed and waited in anticipation for any form of good news on the return of their sons.

After a long and painstaking search for many days, the group was finally found by two British divers

Video footage posted by the Thai Navy Seal showed the kids alive and well, wrapped in foil blankets, and awaiting help.

Although, they are still trapped inside the cave, rescue teams have been tirelessly working round-the-clock to drain out as much water as possible in order for the kids to get out.Divers are also training the boys to breathe through scuba equipment to prepare for a possible attempt at leaving the cave. It was said that the boys would need to learn to dive or may end up having to wait up to four months for flood waters to recede.It is a race against time as authorities try to rescue the boys, before the predicted monsoon rains hit this weekend.

With World Cup season well underway, the boys have caught the attention of many, including Brazilian football star Ronaldo

"It is terrible news and the world of football hopes that someone can find a way to take these kids out of there," he told reporters at a FIFA media event.

According to CNN Sport, FIFA said that they have been checking in with the Football Association in Thailand on updates regarding the boys' situation."It is with great joy that we have received the news that the 12 boys and their football coach have been found alive after nine days missing in a flooded cave in Thailand," said FIFA in a statement.The governing body continued by expressing their hope for the boys and their coach to be safely brought out of the cave and reunited with their families.

Austrian footballer of Leicester City Christian Fuchs also encouraged the boys to "be strong"

Fuchs said that Leicester City football club have "very strong ties" with Thailand and he has been closely following the rescue efforts of the 12 players and their coach."I wish everybody all the best with their rescue efforts and I'm sure everything will be turning out well," he told CNN Sport.

Meanwhile, this World Cup player collided into his opponent and was knocked out for six hours during a match:

Seperti perkongsian yang ditulis oleh seorang wanita iaitu Nur Fazella di laman Facebook tentang pengalaman beliau menjaga anaknya yang terlantar di hospital selama tiga minggu akibat antibiotik.Baca penuh di bawah:

Genap tiga minggu anaknya berada di hospital gara-gara pengambilan ubat antibiotik

Menurut perkongsian wanita ini, rupa-rupanya ubat bukan sahaja penawar namun mampu untuk jadi racun yang boleh membunuh.Pada mulanya, anaknya iaitu Khairi telah diserang demam dan batuk-batuk. Lalu doktor memberikan ubat batuk dan pcm. Selepas makan satu biji antibiotik, keluar bintik-bintik merah di mulut dan tapak tangan. Dalam fikirannya, mungkin Khairi terkena jangkitan HFMD. Namun, dia teruskan makan pil tersebut sehingga pil yang ketiga, anaknya, Khairi telah mengadu sesak nafas dan terus dibawa ke unit kecemasan hospital.

Khairi pada hari pertama.

Khairi pada hari kedua.

Khairi pada hari keempat.
Image via Nur Fazella / Facebook

Pada mulanya, mereka menyangkakan Khairi diserang demam campak. Rupa-rupanya...

Selepas disiasat oleh doktor pakar, pihak mereka mengatakan Khairi diserang penyakit Stevens Johnson. Pertama kali mendengarnya memang pelik sebab tidak pernah dengar tentang penyakit ini dari sesiapa.Menurut Fazella sendiri selepas ditemu bual oleh team SEISMIK, beliau mengatakan bahawa penyakit Stevens Johnson ini disebabkan badan anak tidak boleh terima jenis antibiotik yang diberikan (boleh rujuk gambar di bawah).Oleh itu, penangan antibiotik tersebut membuatkan kulit badan Khairi mendapat reaksi seperti hangus dan melepuh satu badan. Selain itu, sindrom Stevens Johnson ini juga menyerang semua tisu-tisu lembut di dalam badan seseorang iaitu mata, mulut dan hidung. Tisu-tisu lembut di dalam badan mengeluarkan mukus yang berlebihan.

Antibiotik yang diberikan untuk Khairi.

Najib Says 1MDB Will Leave A Lasting "Legacy"

Despite a colossal amount of flak and international graft probes against 1MDB, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has opined that the state investment firm will leave a lasting "legacy"

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak insisted today that 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) will leave a lasting "legacy" despite the "shameful" criticism levelled at the state investment firm.He added with the creation of two "vibrant new centres", namely the Tun Razak Exchange and Bandar Malaysia, 1MDB’s rationalisation process, and the Public Accounts Committee’s (PAC) report disproved the allegations against the firm and his administration.

        themalaymailonline.com

"... And history will show that the shameful, politically-motivated allegations made to unseat a democratically-elected government were false," added Najib during his opening speech at the Invest Malaysia forum today, 12 April.

Former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has spent the past year championing against PM Najib Razak, following his alleged involvement in the financial scandals.

PM Najib also reiterated that 1MDB’s assets exceeded its liabilities and the state-owned company’s debts have also been cleared through its Cabinet-approved debt reduction plan.

        straitstimes.com

According to the Malaysian premier, the state-fund has already cleared a major sum of its debts, referring to the recent repayment of RM950 million standby credit through the government's debt reduction plan

On 7 April, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) released the much- awaited report on 1MDB, detailing how it had in many ways it had violated principles of corporate governance.One of the most worrying revelation of the report came in the form of the fact that the investment fund's debt has been raised from RM42 billion in March 24 to RM50 billion in January 2016.  Last June, the prime minister had made a promise to UMNO divisions that he would work on solving the growing 1MDB problems by the end of 2015, during a closed- door briefing, as reported by news portal, Malaysiakini. Just a day after the report was made available to the public, DAP's Tony Pua alleged that about USD5.5 billion is still missing from 1MDB's accounts.

Having agreed that 1MDB has its "weaknesses", PM Najib pledged to hold the culprits responsible for any wrongdoings that led to the investment fund's scandals and troubles

However, he stressed that the country's good name has been "unfairly dragged through the mud", referring to the news reports on the financial scandals that have been circulating for the past year. The Wall Street Journal is one the most popular news site that has been actively covering the topic and publishing exposes on the 1MDB scandals.

Three seconds later, a loud bang is heard.The young perpetrator then presses the elevator button, wandering around in circles as he waits for it to arrive on his floor. At one point, he glances back out the window.Unfortunately, the cat did not survive the fall.

The SPCA Singapore and Cat Welfare Society (CWS) have since made statements about the boy's act on Facebook

In a Facebook post, SPCA Singapore announced that they have escalated the incident to the authorities, adding that they were "deeply disturbed by the actions captured in the footage".Meanwhile, CWS stated that they had assisted the cat's caregivers in filing an Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) report, and linked them to investigating officers. The caregivers have also since filed a police report."We recognise the need to prevent future incidents like this from taking place again and CWS will continue to engage the authorities on possible approaches to take," they said.According to Singapore Uncensored, the boy has been caught, and the case is currently under investigation by the Singaporean authorities and AVS.

Separately, a change.org petition was also set up to raise awareness on the crime and encourage authorities to take punitive action against the young boy

The creator of the petition stated that the cat was an "old, docile community cat", well-known by the residents of Boon Lay Avenue."What kind of monsters are we living with?" they said.6,500 signatures have been accumulated as of writing this, and the number is continuing to grow rapidly. Many who signed the petition argued that the boy's young age did not exempt him from the consequences of his actions.

8 Types Of Buyers You Shouldn’t Layan As An Online Seller

In this day and age, buying and selling have become an integral part of our lives and thankfully the Internet has made this process very easy

The process is no longer exclusive to businesses as it also extends to individuals that wish to buy or sell anything. Just last year, Facebook, the largest social network, introduced the 'sell' feature to better facilitate business processes.While the Internet opens up opportunities for us to start a business or just to clear off your unused items at home, it also means that we are exposing ourselves to certain dangers of e-commerce. Make no mistake, you have to take a certain risk as a buyer, especially when purchasing online, but you could also be a potential victim of scam as a seller. It may sound odd, but these cases are not unheard of and it's becoming very common due to low awareness.

So, if you're planning to sell-off your preloved items or start an online business, here are some things you should be aware of:

1. The buyer has a bad record

Image via Carousell/SAYS

Try your best to deal with companies or individuals that you know by reputation or experience. You may want to do a thorough background check on the person you're dealing with, so Google search and forums may come in handy. Besides that, community marketplaces such as Carousell allows you to view feedback left by other users on a specific profile. You could even view how a certain user fares as a 'buyer'.Features like this is extremely useful to gauge how your potential buyer will be like, especially when you want to see if other sellers had a pleasant transaction with the buyer in the past.  Users with a bad track record are most likely to repeat their offences.

2. The buyer claims to be situated in another location

Example of a conversation between a buyer who claims to be from another country.

If the potential buyer is located in a different state or district, you may want to reconsider selling off your items to him or her.  It's always good to insist on COD (cash on delivery) which means that payment is made on delivery rather than in advance. Anyone who claims to be interested in buying your items from another location and having you ship to them, especially if they are from another country, should raise suspicion as you might be exposing yourself to ingenuine buyers or even scammers.  A common example is when someone who claims to be a foreigner approaches you and expresses his or her interest in buying your item. Responses usually are swift and the individual would be very accommodating as a buyer just to convince you that he or she is dead serious about purchasing the item.  However, it is likely that you will face a "roadblock" ahead such as a failed or rejected bank transaction, depending on what is the modus operandi. In some instances, these buyers may also cheat you into making a payment to them.

3. The buyer doesn't want to hand you the cash first

Image via Malay Mail Online

If someone refuses to pay you first, especially when the method of delivery is via postage, then you should already be alarmed of a potential scam.  The general rule of thumb for any online dealing is to receive the money first before posting out your item. Most sellers would post the goods after they see the money reflected in their account. Never take the risk to send out an item before receiving the payment.  It is also good to note that interbank transactions may take up to a few days, depending on the bank's standard operating procedures. So, remember to always get your cash first, everything else comes later.

4. The buyer who cancels the scheduled appointment at the last minute

Image via Meme Generator

If you've fixed a specific time and location to meet your buyer and he or she backed out at the last minute, there are two possibilities:1. They really had an emergency2. They are really not interested in buying your itemAlso, if the buyer is unwilling to meet you at a common point and suggests an area you are not familiar with, you should think twice about it. It is also a good practice to bring along another person whenever you do a COD for an extra pair of eyes in case of any discrepancies.

5. The buyer who comes up with too many excuses

If the buyer displays certain signs of being dishonest like using a fake name or using a phone number that cannot be reached, these are signs that the buyer might not be very trustworthy.  If the buyer suddenly reschedules an appointment at the last minute to delay the purchase, you may want to rethink if it is wise to proceed with the deal. If the buyer goes missing for a few days without replying whether he or she is still interested in buying the goods from you, maybe it's better to wait for another buyer.  At the end of the day, if you think that the buyer is not reliable, you may want to consider distancing yourself from these kinds of buyers rather than proceeding with the deal.

6. The buyer who bargains too much

Image via Quickmeme

As a seller, unless you are unaware of the market price, you would know how much your item is worth.  A 'lowballer' is someone who haggles and offers to buy your item at a price that is beyond the reasonable benchmark. You could be wasting a lot of time in the process of negotiating the price with lowballers, especially if these people are not serious in purchasing your item.  There are instances when a seller agrees to a price that is way below the market price, but even then, the buyer that made the offer cannot fulfil it because the individual is just "testing out the market".

7. The buyer wants you to reserve an item without paying any deposit

There are instances when a potential buyer wants you to reserve the goods for sale for a specific amount of time. However, the problem arises when he or she is not willing to pay a reasonable amount of deposit to secure the item. It's entirely up to an individual whether they want to reserve the item without taking any deposit but people will usually stay away from such customers as there is a high chance that the buyer might call off the deal at the last minute. The downside to this is the fact that you may potentially lose a genuine customer who was interested in buying your goods as you may have reserved it for a 'fake buyer'.

8. The buyer gives you multiple problems after the deal

Photo for illustration purposes only.
Image via Daily Mail UK

On some occasions, you may face a buyer who has a lot of complaints after sales. These are not difficult customers, but problematic ones. It could happen for various reasons like how the purchase was an impulse buy and they want a refund, or even cases like they "mistakenly bought the wrong item". As such, it is important that you made it clear and reach a mutual understanding earlier about the after sales services otherwise you may have to entertain his or her refund requests. If you happen to have a lot of problems and you find yourself running out of luck when dealing with the problematic customer, perhaps offering a refund may be a quick solution.  As a seller, take the necessary steps to ensure that the items you sell are in the condition as promised, especially when it's a used item.  Always have a black-and-white agreement (in chat or your medium of communication) and take photographs of your goods to show the conditions of the items. These could be useful as proof in case the buyer tries to rip you off afterwards.

At the end of the day, the process of buying and selling could be really fulfilling...

...but always remember, if an offer sounds suspicious or too good to be true, it probably is.

"Bukan Dari Jepun Atau Korea" - Jenama Nakada Sebenarnya Asal Buatan Malaysia

Follow kami di Telegram, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita dan artikel-artikel menarik di SAYS Seismik.

Beroperasi sejak lebih dua dekad, syarikat Nakada Group (M) sebenarnya dimiliki dan diusahakan dua adik beradik dari Malaysia, Datuk Yap Kok Heng dan Datuk Kok Siang

Biarpun kedengaran seperti nama dari Jepun, hakikatnya jenama itu diangkat dari sekecil kecil usaha di pasar basah hinggalah menempa nama di dalam dan luar negara menerusi pasaran dalam talian.Berasal dari sebuah syarikat berstatus 'enterprise' di bawah nama Tango Enterprise sejak 1999 dan kemudian ke Sdn Bhd pada Ogos 2007, jenama ini bergerak atas hasrat menjadikan kehidupan masyarakat lebih praktikal dan mementingkan aspek kesihatan.Di bawah syarikat itu bernaung tiga jenama utama, Nakada, Primada dan Cuoco.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Datuk Yap Kok Heng.
Image via Primada Live Centre (Facebook)

"Memang ada yang beranggapan nama syarikat itu berasal dari negara matahari terbit. Tapi tidak kerana ia buatan Malaysia."Nama itu sebenarnya diambil daripada seorang pemain bola sepak berpengaruh dari Jepun yang berjaya menembus bukan saja pasaran Asia tetapi maju hingga ke Eropah."Begitu juga impian saya dan adik untuk membawa jenama ini melangkaui semua pasaran di dunia dengan menjual peralatan elektrik untuk rumah buatan tempatan dan mengimport dari luar negara yang terbaru serta canggih," kata Yap Kong Heng selaku Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif syarikat itu.

Pak Nil dilamar sebagai duta di Malaysia untuk tempoh dua tahun

Dalam pada itu, produk ini juga menembusi pasaran luar negara termasuk di Hong Kong hingga menjadikan Kiki Sheung yang juga  artis terkenal dari sana sebagai duta sejak lebih sedekad lalu.Malah sejak Mei tahun lalu, pengacara popular tanah air, Datuk Aznil Nawawi atau lebih mesra dipanggil Pak Nil pula dilamar sebagai duta sama di Malaysia untuk tempoh dua tahun.Pada 20 Januari, satu majlis menandatangani kontrak sekali gus mengumumkan Pak Nil sebagai duta turut diadakan ibu pejabat syarikat terbabit di Lot 976/977, Jalan Jambu Gajus, Jinjang Selatan, KL."Kami mempunyai sebab konkrit memilihnya sebagai duta. Beliau mempunyai imej yang sihat, ceria, peramah, suka memasak, menjaga kesihatan dan tubuh badan."Lalu minat dan dedikasinya itu bertepatan dengan produk yang syarikat kami pasarkan. Dia masih kekal relevan memikat hati ramai orang dalam bidang tugas dilakukan. Hatinya juga sangat murni kerana sentiasa mahu membantu mereka yang memerlukan."Lihat saja ketika era pandemik Covid-19 sejak dua tahun lalu dan musibah banjir, beliau antara yang tak betah duduk diam. Sebaliknya mahu membantu dengan menggunakan populariti dan kelebihan yang ada," katanya.

Utamakan tiga prinsip penting iaitu kualiti jenama, perkhidmatan selepas jualan dan operasi penjagaan kesihatan produk dipasarkan

Hari ini, syarikat itu terus matang selepas melakukan penambah baikan dan pembangunan berterusan.Tambah Pengarah Urusannya; Yap Kok Siang, ia termasuk pengalaman ditimba menerusi pameran antarabangsa disertai di China, Singapura, Taiwan, Hong Kong dan sebagainya."Menerusi penyelidikan dan pembangunan tanpa jemu, kami juga mahu menyediakan pengguna dengan produk berkualiti. Semua itu dilakukan bagi memastikan proses penawaran dapat menampung permintaan yang ada. Ia sekali gus memastikan setiap produk dapat dipasarkan dengan harga berpatutan."Kami juga berteraskan polisi kejujuran, penyayang dan profesional dalam nilai teras perniagaan. Kami bersemangat mempersembahkan produk berkualiti tinggi kerana sentiasa percaya setiap daripada kita berhak menikmati kesihatan yang baik."Kami mengutamakan tiga prinsip penting iaitu kualiti jenama, perkhidmatan selepas jualan dan operasi penjagaan kesihatan produk dipasarkan. Kami tak ketinggalan disokong pasukan kerja dinamik termasuk di platform media sosial dan teknologi maklumat seperti Facebook, Instagram, Lazada, Shopee dan laman www.primada.com.my," kata Yap Kok Siang.

Pengarah Urusan, Datuk Yap Kok Siang.

Dalam pada itu, Yap Kok Siang akur era pandemik turut memberikan cabaran tersendiri kepada syarikat untuk terus bernyawa."Cabaran paling hebat kami lalui bukan pada tahun pertama pandemik (2020). Sebaliknya cabaran sebenar datang melanda awal tahun lalu di mana ramai yang menganggur, kos penghantaran naik dengan mendadak dan kenaikan kos bahan mentah."Pelbagai bidang ekonomi dalam negara terjejas. Syarikat kami tidak terkecuali. Namun kami tidak mahu mengalah, bahkan bertekad akan terus membawa masuk lebih banyak barangan elektrik yang berteknologi dan bermutu tinggi ke dalam negara."Ia diiringi dengan harapan supaya dapat memberi sedikit sebanyak sumbangan kepada perkembangan ekonomi Malaysia pada masa depan," katanya.

Bukan sekadar melobi tapi mahu meningkatkan kesedaran ramai terhadap jenama

Sementara itu, Aznil yang juga bapa tunggal kepada tiga anaknya,  Fildza Haifa 32, Fariq Haizen, 27 dan Firdaus Hariz, 13, berkata kehadiran jenama itu memudahkan rutin hidupnya.Figura kelahiran Kampung Datuk Keramat KL yang diiktiraf oleh Malaysia Book of Records (Kategori Pengacara Paling Lama Berkhidmat) itu sendiri juga mengakui skil memasak terus diasah saban hari."Apabila jadi bapa tunggal kenalah belajar memasak. Dulu masa zaman bujang, skil itu mungkin terbatas. Tapi sekarang kalau diminta masak menu itu, ini... mungkin saya boleh siapkan."Tambah pula, memasak sekarang tak perlu skil. Konsep letak bahan dan campur diperlukan dalam mesin, siap dan boleh dimakan."Sejak Mei tahun lalu saya dilantik jadi duta jenama kelengkapan dapur dan barang elektrik jenama Nakada, lagi tambah senang kerja dan hidup ini,"  katanya.

Bagi selebriti yang aktif dengan kerja kebajikan itu, pembabitannya sebagai duta bukan sekadar melobi dan meningkatkan kesedaran ramai terhadap jenama itu."Bahkan saya juga akur pandemik Covid-19 yang melanda dunia sejak dua tahun lalu memberi kesan kepada ramai orang. Ia termasuk dalam aspek perbelanjaan ekonomi."Justeru, saya berbincang dengan pihak mereka untuk mengadakan sesi belian harga istimewa. Permintaan itu diperkenankan dan sekali gus membolehkan orang ramai memiliki barangan jenama itu dengan harga runtuh."Setiap minggu atas kapasiti sebagai duta, saya akan buat satu jam sesi siaran langsung di media sosial termasuk Facebook, Instagram dan TikTok. Dalam tempoh itu belian harga duta membolehkan pengikut media sosial membeli barangan jenama itu dengan potongan diskaun hingga 70 peratus," katanya.Jika di Malaysia, Pak Nil menjadi pilihan. Namun di pasaran Hong Kong, posisi duta sama diambil selebriti Kiki Sheung sejak lebih 10 tahun lalu."Kebetulan ketika saya mencari butiran mengenai dirinya (Kiki), kami sebaya berusia 59 tahun."Ternyata jenama ini lebih memilih artis senior berbanding budak baru nak 'up' (BBNU). Pengalaman itu lebih mahal nilainya. Saya juga anggap ini rezeki di era pandemik," katanya.

A New App Is Being Built To Track Close Contacts Of COVID-19 Patients In The Country

The government is preparing a smartphone application that can track the contacts of COVID-19 patients in an effort to curb the outbreak

According to New Straits Times, this was announced by Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin during an online forum titled Adapting to the COVID-19 Challenge which was organised by his ministry yesterday, 26 March.He said Singapore had launched a similar application, and they have been regarded as one of the most successful countries in terms of contact tracing."When a positive case occurs, they can see the movement (of the individual) and warn others close to the patient to go for testing," Khairy said."And I can announce that Malaysia is also preparing such an application."

In Singapore, the TraceTogether app was launched on 20 March

The app can identify people who have been within two metres of COVID-19 patients for a duration of at least 30 minutes.As explained by CNA, these encounters are detected by wireless Bluetooth technology and records made will be stored locally in users' phones, not sent to the authorities.These records are only shared when users are contacted by the Ministry of Health as part of contact tracing investigations.Developed by the Government Technology Agency (GovTech) and the Singapore Health Ministry, the app is useful when infected people cannot recall who they have approached.Currently, contact tracing in Malaysia relies on the memory of patients, which has been subject to error as some interviewees could not remember all of their contacts or did not have information about the people they had been in contact with.

Governments across the world are introducing new measures to track people in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19

According to Business Insider, 10 other countries have started tracking phone data at various degrees of invasiveness, including South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, Austria, Poland, Belgium, Germany, and Italy.While Singapore's app is being offered voluntarily, some governments have gone a step further to enforce their technological surveillance - South Korea is providing a publicly available map of COVID-19 patients for its citizens to track while Poland is making people send selfies to prove they are in home quarantine, or warrant a police visit if they do not reply in 20 minutes.However, data science expert Mahendhiran Sanggaran Nair of Monash University told New Straits Times that the launch of this application should not concern Malaysians who are worried about privacy infringements, as long as it is strictly regulated."I think (it's important) to educate the public on how data is being used and also have a regulatory framework about who can see this and who can use it."

Five generations of positive COVID-19 cases in Malaysia are linked to the single tabligh gathering:

                Malaysia Records 130 New COVID-19 Cases As Death Toll Rises To 26

The number of patients in ICU climbed to 54. Out of which, 34 are on respiratory assistance.

That’s Right, Penang Just Beat KL To Become The Top Choice For Investments

Take pride, Penangites!
A survey has revealed that Penang is the most attractive region for commercial property investment in the whole of Malaysia, overtaking the nation's capital city Kuala Lumpur!

Image via The Edge Property

It appears that more people are keen to invest in Penang than in Kuala Lumpur, as a survey by Knight Frank Malaysia shows that Penang garnered over 67 percent of the overall response. The survey also revealed that Kuala Lumpur Central Business District (CBD) (Golden Triangle), which was the top investment choice in 2015, was dethroned and dropped to the fourth ranking with 49 percent of the responses, coming after Kuala Lumpur Fringe/Klang Valley (56 percent) and Johor/Iskandar (55 percent).

Penang was also voted as the most attractive investment region for hotel or leisure and healthcare or institutional developments, possibly due to George Town being inscribed as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites and the popularity of the state for medical tourism

George Town is recognised as one of Unesco’s World Heritage Sites.

Penang garnered the highest vote from respondents by getting 86 percent of the votes for most attractive investment region for hotel or leisure and 79 percent of votes for healthcare or institutional developments.

M'sian Brand That Makes Car Mats From Recycled Materials Impresses International Investors

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

Local car mat brand TRAPO unanimously passed the recent Endeavor's Local Selection Panel 2021, jointly organised with Endeavor Philippines

Established in 1997, Endeavor is leading the global high-impact entrepreneurship movement to drive economic growth and job creation by selecting, mentoring, and accelerating the best high-impact entrepreneurs around the world.Headquartered in New York City, Endeavor currently operates in 40+ growth markets. Since launching its operations in Malaysia, they actively support 63 companies.Endeavor's Local Selection Panel is a shark tank-like session in which entrepreneurs are thoroughly questioned by profound business leaders, who provide valuable input and feedback on how to scale businesses.Once selected to join Endeavor's network, the entrepreneurs will gain access to comprehensive, strategic support services. This includes introductions to local and regional business mentors, as well as investors who will help them address key needs.

Starting off from only a team of two, TRAPO now has a headcount of over 160, and is the leading car mat brand in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia

Image via TRAPO (Provided to SAYS)

Founded by the Lee brothers, Tzong and Zare, TRAPO transforms foam wastage into antibacterial, easy-to-clean car mats, solving a real problem in the market.Aiming to elevate the driving experience with their car products, TRAPO has also expanded beyond car mats.  In 2020, they introduced their Oxtra range, consisting of products such as a motion-sensing car air purifier, antibacterial car spray, and more.Since inception in 2016, TRAPO is on track to achieve 2x revenue growth. Their current inflection point is to expand the leadership team, in order to aggressively scale TRAPO regionally.

The Lee brothers shared that when they first started, their "main challenge was to educate the market to switch from coil mats to TRAPO mats, which are made of virgin polymer, eva form manufacture, and recycled polymer"

They added, "As a huge advocate of responsible consumption and production, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we spent two years perfecting TRAPO’s mats, educating the market, and ensuring the customers were fully satisfied with the product before we started to scale the business."Throughout our scaling journey, we have navigated through multiple scaling challenges by participating in the ScaleUp Program. We are excited to continue scaling Trapo together with Endeavor Malaysia's support."

During Endeavor's Selection Process, six panelists interview, deliberate, and select candidates to progress to the International Selection Panel

For the 2021 session, the panelists consisted of Gaurav Bhasin (CEO Malaysia and Chief Strategy Officer of Carousell Group), Rodney Wong (CEO of Munchy’s), See Wai Hun (CEO and Co-Founder of JurisTech), Billy Valtos (Managing Director of Tao Corporation), Roshini Bakshi (Managing Director of Everstone Capital Advisors), and Bobbit Panlilio (Chairman of JP Morgans Philippines)."Tzong and Zare have achieved an amazing feat by utilising foam wastages from manufacturing companies and transforming these waste into a profitable business, with a team of over 150 people with presence over three countries."Despite a few challenges, I think with the right guidance from Endeavor, focusing on their mission and making the right decisions, TRAPO has the potential to scale even bigger," commented See Wai Hun.

Now part of Endeavor's network, the Lee brothers will gain access to comprehensive and strategic support services

This includes introductions to local and regional business mentors, as well as investors who will help them address key needs.Find out more about Trapo on their website.
