The speculation of a change of government reached a tipping point when over 20 vehicles consisting of luxurious sedans and MPVs drove into the palace between 5.40pm and 6.15pm on Sunday.The Star reported that six leaders from different parties were at the palace to update the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the latest political development in the country. Those leaders included:- Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin, - UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, - PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, - PKR deputy president Azmin Ali, - GPS president Abang Johari Openg, and - Warisan president Shafie Apdal.New Straits Times reported a source as saying that, "I was made to understand that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong advised them to refer to the previous Perak case... that is what I was informed.""At the moment, we already have 139 Parliamentary seats and the figure is sufficient for us to form the government."

When asked if there would be a new government, Annuar nodded and said the new coalition would be called Pakatan Nasional. He added that the new bipartisan ruling coalition must be done according to the Constitution."You have to read and follow the Constitution and the (Yang di-Pertuan) Agong. Let's not jump the gun," he said.

How Apple And Google Are Stopping Games With “Flappy” In The Title From Taking Flight

The Flappy Bird phenomenon shows no signs of slowing down, despite the fact that the original title was yanked out of the App Store by creator Dong Nguyen, whose newfound fame apparently became too overwhelming

                The World's Most Loved And Hated Bird Is Flying Back Soon

Mobile game creator of 'Flappy Bird' has pulled the game down from Apple's App Store and the Google Play platform.

Read the full story

However, that may not be the case for long. Word has it that both Apple and Google are now rejecting games that have the word “flappy” in their title.

According to Vancouver-based game designer Ken Carpenter of Mind Juice Media, Apple rejected an app of his called “Flappy Dragon” from the App Store. Apple told him “we found your app name attempts to leverage a popular app,” says Carpenter.

        techcrunch.com

Image via wordpress.com

Apple told him the app was in violation of the following section of the App Store Review Guidelines:

        9to5mac.com

Image via imgur.com

Clearly, the only app “Flappy Dragon” would be leveraging is “Flappy Bird” – which, to be clear, is technically no longer present in the App Store.

        techcrunch.com

Image via imgur.com

The move is an apparent effort to stem the flow of clones appearing in the respective stores, since over the last few days we’ve already seen a number of them emerge such as Flappy Doge, Sesame Bird, Fall Out Bird

Carpenter isn’t the only game developer affected by the policy shift, it seems. A tweet from Kuyi Mobile indicates that a small handful of developers attempting to launch their own “Flappy” clones have also been rejected for the same reason:

        appadvice.com

Image via imgur.com

This is somewhat odd, given that there are already several similarly named games on the market, including “Flappy Bee,” “Flappy Plane,” “Flappy Super Hero,” “Flappy Flyer,” and even “Flappy Bird Flyer,” Carpenter points out. Plus, there are clones that don’t include “Flappy” in the title, like “Splashy Fish” and “Ironpants” – #1 and #2 in the App Store’s top charts, at present.

        techcrunch.com

Meanwhile, others that include “Flappy,” but don’t lead with it, are also doing well: spot #3 is “City Bird – Flappy Flyer” and #7 is “Fly Birdie – Flappy Bird Flyer.” In other words, the App Store’s top charts are being absolutely decimated by “Flappy Bird” clones. And users are still eating them up en masse.

        thenextweb.com

Both Kuyi Mobile and Happy Mage Games stated that Google is also rejecting app submissions that use “Flappy” in the title

Says Carpenter, “Yeah, I was rejected from Google Play, too.”

        techcrunch.com

Image via wordpress.com

“The first time I assumed it was because I included a phrase about ‘Flappy Dragon’ being the best flapping game to play now that ‘Flappy Bird’ is dead. My app was originally published with no issue and was online and searchable for a few hours,” Carpenter explains.

        9to5mac.com

Shortly afterwards, Google removed it from search, but it was still visible through its direct link. Around 24 hours later, he received a suspension notice.

        techcrunch.com

After removing the competitor’s app name in the description, Carpenter resubmitted the game. After a few hours, it, too, disappeared from search.

        thenextweb.com

If you’re planning on building yet another Flappy Bird clone it might be best to avoid using “Flappy” at all

[VIDEO] We Tested U Mobile's Network In Bentong To See How Good It Really Is

One of the biggest issues we face when travelling locally is our phone signal and network coverage

Image via Jeremy Ng | SAYS

Everything's all fine and dandy when we're chilling in the city, but the minute we head out of urban areas is usually when everything starts to go haywire. No signal lah, cannot connect to the Internet lah, how liddat?!

In collaboration with U Mobile, we set out to prove that this doesn't always have to be an issue!

Image via SAYS

Armed with their P99 7-day trial plan, we headed on up to Bentong to spend a few days travelling around, while consistently checking how good U Mobile's connection is in the highlands.We had so much fun throughout the trip!

We explored the beautiful Japanese Gardens and felt like we truly were in the Land Of The Rising Sun

Image via SAYS

We cuddled with some super adorable fluffy bunnies

Image via SAYS

And of course no local trip is complete without eating lots of yummy food!

Image via SAYS

So how did U Mobile's network fare while we did all these things? Watch the full video to find out:

×

All in all, we were pretty satisfied with U Mobile *thumbs up*

Image via SAYS

Throughout the trip, their network and coverage remained stable. Best of all, their unlimited Internet allowed us to use all our favourite apps to our heart's content! Whether we were relying on Waze to get to a destination, spamming our feeds with Insta stories, or jamming out to Spotify while driving, we never had to worry about running out of data and the connection didn't lag at all.

A 9-Year-Old Girl Was Allegedly Bullied So Severely That She Now Has To Use A Wheelchair

A nine-year-old girl has been confined to a wheelchair after her spine was allegedly damaged by bullies

New Straits Times reported that the primary school girl, who only wants to be known as 'Angah', was frequently kicked in the back and thighs by three other students.

She was also allegedly extorted by the bullies.

Image via Bernama

"The three bullies are two girls and a boy. They often tease and insult me, saying my father is crazy and my clothes are dirty or unwashed. Then they will force me to give them money, between RM1 and RM4. One of them always kicks me in the back or my thighs," she told reporters.

She added, "They threatened me, saying they would just tell the teacher I borrowed their money if I reported the matter."

Her 32-year-old mother, who wanted to be known only as Asma, said she had noticed that Angah was not walking properly in June

Asma said she brought Angah to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, where her daughter underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and X-ray.

			The doctor said her spine is bent, perhaps due to being hit but did not rule out other possible factors. She can't walk for too long, and sometimes my husband and I have to carry her. Her back appears red and swollen. I feel sad every time I look at her in this condition.
        Asma

Angah is now using a wheelchair because of the injuries and is fearful of returning to school

She is scheduled to undergo surgery at the hospital on Tuesday, 27 August.

The family has already lodged two police reports and are hoping for the state Education Department to carry out an investigation immediately.


Chinese Tourist Lauds M'sian Salespeople For Not Judging Her By Appearance At Luxury Mall

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

A video of a Chinese tourist praising Malaysian salespeople for not judging her by appearance at a luxury mall in Kuala Lumpur has gone viral on social media

In the 30-second video posted on Douyin, China's version of TikTok, last week, the woman can be seen standing next to a pop-up store selling perfumes at the main entrance of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur."When I came here, (I realised) Malaysian salespeople don't judge people by their appearances," she begins the video."Despite dressing like this, they treated me warmly. They asked whether I was interested in buying... Asked me to try smelling (their perfumes), and whether I like them... Their service was so passionate.""It's unlike the service we receive in Shanghai, China, (such as when I) try on a bag, (they will say) it doesn't match me. They look down at you, they look down at you so much!"In the video, she pans her camera down to show that she is wearing a checkered dress and red-black sneakers.

"In Malaysia, as long as you are not naked, no one will look at what you wear," she wrote in the caption

"Unlike in China, if your clothes are remotely ragged, the salespeople will ignore you. There is no such salesperson in Malaysia."

Image via @181003145 (Douyin)

The Chinese tourist is seen visiting various tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur in other videos. In one of them, she eats muah chee, also known as peanut mochi, describing it as "extremely delicious".

At the time of writing, her video lauding Malaysian salespeople has garnered over 11,000 likes and 1,200 comments

Instead of agreeing that Malaysian salespeople do not judge their customers based on their looks, many comments pointed out that it is a 'custom' to dress in simple clothing in the country due to the hot weather. "Haha, we have a lot of rich people in disguise. This is the normal way of life," a person said in jest."The dressing culture here is very similar to Guangdong. There are many rich people in flip-flops," added another Douyin user."Many rich people in Malaysia wear shorts and slippers (because) the country is so hot. No matter how good the clothes and shoes are, they are not as comfortable as shorts and slippers," read a comment."It's a habit (for the locals) to be in shorts and slippers. (We are pretty) low-key. We are just more easygoing. Of course, there are (salespeople who are) arrogant, but relatively fewer in Malaysia," said a netizen.

"Send My Regards To Syed Saddiq" – Says Singer Facing Charges For Trafficking Cannabis

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

Singer and composer Yasin Sulaiman faces a possible death penalty after he was charged with trafficking cannabis

According to The Star, the 47-year-old behind the 2001 hit song Mimpi Laila was charged under Section 39B and Section 6B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 at the Petaling Jaya Magistrate's Court and Sessions Court, respectively, yesterday, 31 March.The provisions deal with trafficking dangerous drugs and the cultivation of certain plants that are not permitted, respectively.The first charge is punishable by either the death penalty or life imprisonment and up to 15 strokes of the cane upon conviction, while the second charge will land the suspect in life imprisonment and at least six strokes of the cane.The 2001 Anugerah Juara Lagu award winner was arrested for cultivating ganja plants in his home in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya on 24 March.No plea was taken from the singer for both charges. The case in the Magistrate's Court will be transferred to the High Court as the sentence involves the death penalty, reported Free Malaysia Today.No bail was allowed for both charges and the courts have set 18 May for remention. Yasin has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was receiving treatment.

Earlier when Yasin was escorted in the court complex, he told reporters, "Send my regards to Syed Saddiq"

It is unsure why Yasin made the comment, but it is likely due to Muar member of parliament (MP) Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman's involvement in lobbying against the death penalty and criminalisation of marijuana for medical use.When debating the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) in parliament on 29 September last year, Syed Saddiq urged the government to legalise the medical use of marijuana and hemp, reported Malay Mail.In a written parliamentary reply to the Muar MP two months later, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said cannabis products used for medicinal purposes are allowed in Malaysia as long as they receive approval from local regulators.Khairy's response is similar to former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye's statement under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration, who also said that the government did not ban cannabis-based products for medical purposes once prior approval is obtained.

Following Yasin's call to Syed Saddiq, the former youth and sports minister responded to him in a Facebook post

Although he would not comment on the singer's case, he reiterated his stance on legalising marijuana for medical purposes has been consistent throughout the years, regardless  of whether he is inside or outside the government."These decisions and calls were made (during the PH administration) because we followed facts, data, and science. Not because of 'trends' or people's talk. It can be a source of alternative treatment for many patients," he wrote in a statement on Thursday."More than 40 countries have already allowed the use of cannabis for medicine. The market value of this industry reaches RM60 billion."He said he will continue fighting in the cause, as it is his responsibility to introduce the industry to Malaysia.

Syed Saddiq uploaded footage of him urging the government to legalise the use of marijuana for medical purposes in parliament along with his statement on Thursday.

Yasin told reporters after the proceedings yesterday that he has been receiving treatment for bipolar disorder since 2009

Once, he said, he was admitted to Chancellor Tuanku Muhriz UKM Hospital in Kuala Lumpur due to his condition, reported Malaysiakini.In court, he pleaded to be released on bail because he feared detention could exacerbate his chronic bipolar disorder."I have been prescribed medication but I fear my wellbeing will be affected at any time," he said."I fear losing my mind, like what happened three years ago."Yasin's lawyer said his client has not been able to access treatment since being under remand.

On 8 November last year, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said local laws do not prohibit the medical use of cannabis in Malaysia:

McDonald's Japan Just Released New 'Adult Cream Pies' That Are Totally Safe For Work

McDonald's Japan just rolled out their latest product and it has a very peculiar name

Me when I first heard it:

Image via GIPHY

On 7 January, McD Japan shared a poster of the 'Otona no Cream Pie', which directly translates to "Adult Cream Pie" in English

 # 1/15()150 # # pic.twitter.com/RSLfULzHbY—  (@McDonaldsJapan) January 7, 2020

While the word otona literally translates to "adult" in English, it's actually often used in the Japanese sweets industry to describe confectionery that contains less sugar which makes it "more suitable for adults"

'Otona No Amasa' KitKat.
Image via Snakku

For example, KitKat has a range of otona products for adults that are richer in flavour.

But obviously when English speakers hear the words "adult" and "cream pie", something else comes to mind.

To refer to the adult entertainment industry, the Japanese use the word 'adaruto'. Therefore, majority of the customers in Japan won't really be taken aback by the name of the dessert.

Questionable name aside, the dessert looks delicious.
Just like the pocket pies we have here in Malaysia, it comes with a deep-fried crust and warm filling.

It comes in two different flavours, which are Belgian Chocola and Sweet Fromage.The Belgian Chocola comes with a chocolate-flavoured crust and a decadent Belgian chocolate filling.

Image via Japan Today

On the other hand, the Sweet Fromage has a Parmesan-flavoured crust and delicious cream cheese filling.

However, netizens are still not entirely sure how to feel about the name

Uhhh interesting name  pic.twitter.com/C3IcfZ5Sz4— Leon M. Tails Prower (@Big_Evil6) January 12, 2020

The Adult Cream Pies will be available at McDonald's outlets across Japan starting from 15 January.
They cost JPY150 (RM5.50) each.

There Are Malaysian Drivers Who Are Using Fake OKU Stickers For Parking Privileges

Genuine OKU (Malay acronym for “Orang Kurang Upaya”) motorists in the country are facing difficulties to find parking spaces because of the widespread sale of fake parking stickers for the disabled

Image via Paul Tan

Local daily The Star reported today that able-bodied drivers have been buying these fake car stickers designating them as disabled and using them to take up precious parking bays in shopping centres. According to the paper, members from Damai Disabled Person Association Malaysia had lamented about the challenges faced in finding parking slots in shopping centres in the Klang Valley.Disabled parking bays in malls are usually limited in number, and are also located closer to the entrance for convenience.

        themalaymailonline.com

According to the report by The Star, the public could get fake OKU stickers for as little as RM7, and these stickers are being sold openly at hardware stores

Image via The Star Online

A check at hardware stores around Petaling Jaya showed a few were selling OKU stickers to the public, when only the Road Transport Department (JPJ) is authorised to issue these. A shopkeeper at a do-it-yourself store in Bangsar said it had a variety of OKU parking stickers available for sale. “We sell them for about RM10 to RM20,” said the shopkeeper, adding that people could just walk in to buy the stickers.

        thestar.com.my

However, the only lawful way to obtain an authentic sticker is through the Road Transport Department (JPJ), where the applicant will be assessed before they are granted the OKU sticker

“We are sad that there is also a lack of enforcement by the local authorities. It seems that the irresponsible drivers are not worried about being fined,” The Star Online quoted Damai Disabled Person Association Malaysia president V. Murugeswaran as saying. He added that stiffer penalties were needed to deter the abuse of disabled parking spots.Murugeswaran also hoped the authorities could consider introducing a system similar in Germany and other countries where a machine could send photos of vehicles without proper stickers immediately to the police or the local authorities so prompt action could be taken against the offending parties.

Last year, a video of a driver who was caught hogging a parking spot reserved for handicapped drivers went viral:

[PHOTOS] Singaporeans Find Spy Camera In Hotel In Malacca

'The Real Singapore' has published a letter from a reader alleging to have found a spy camera in her hotel room toilet in Malacca

'The Real Singapore' has published a letter from a reader alleging to have found a spy camera in her hotel room in Malacca

Dear The Real Singapore, My Malaysian girlfriend shared this terrible incident which happened at Melaka's A'Famosa Resort. She found a pin hole camera in her resort bathroom recording her every action.

        therealsingapore.com

According to the reader, she noticed a black clothes hook by the side of the bathroom door that looked out of place.

When she visited the resort, she noticed a weird looking hook by the side of the bathroom room. As the colour of the hook did not match the colour combination of the bathroom, she thought it was strange and took a closer look at it.

        allsingaporestuff.com

Upon closer inspection, she was surprised to find a little pinhole camera lens at the top of the clothes hook.

The reader, who has made a police report, claims that the management of the resort refused to take responsibility of the spy camera

[FACT OR FAKE #59] Hey Girl, Did Ryan Gosling Really Adopt A Nine-Month Old Baby?

The Internet, as we keep experiencing from time to time, is a cruel and capricious place. However, there are a few favourites that can reliably turn our hearts to putty: kittens, Jennifer Lawrence—and, of course, Ryan Gosling.

Image via eonline.com

So enamoured is the whole World Wide Web with the movie star that memes spring up like weeds about him, from Feminist Ryan Gosling to Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal

Image via feministryangosling.tumblr.com

And so the Internet positively exploded with excitement when the universal heartthrob, sensitive soul and all-round deity Ryan Gosling announced on Facebook—on Father's Day—that he had adopted a child of a deceased friend

Image via dailydot.com

Gosling broke the news on Facebook, explaining: “This little guy was only 9 months old when I became his dad. His mom and I were great friends before she passed away from cancer. I promised her, I'd always look after him. So, I had decided to step up and become his dad. He brought me so much joy. He was my everything.”

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

The reaction was overwhelming, with the post racking up almost 1 million Likes and gushing comments like "my ovaries just exploded". The post also urged fans to purchase a USD22.50 charity T-shirt from the site TeeSpring.com.

The story, with its accompanying photo of Gosling clutching an adorable, anonymous infant, was like catnip to the star's legions of fans.

        refinery29.com

It prompted outpourings of saccharine heartfelt good wishes, including: “I'm a single dad, raised my 3 sons without their mom since 2002 and they are and will always be the biggest treasure of my life. Mr Gosling, God bless you", "Well, my ovaries just exploded" and the charmingly worded: “Oh my freaking god penetrate me right now Ryan I want your babies.”

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

But before any ovaries could really explode, Facebook took it down. Why? Lets find out what was the deal with it.

Image via washingtonpost.com

For one, the now-deleted Facebook page that posted it, RealRyanGosling, is fake

For the record, RyanGoslingOfficial is also not affiliated with the movie star, nor is Ryan-Gosling: If in doubt, look for the blue verified check mark.

        dailydot.com

And, despite almost 650,000 followers, Instagram account Ryan_Gosling is not official either. Gosling does have a verified Twitter page, @RyanGosling—though it’s rarely used.

        snopes.com

Wow, so many fake accounts of Gosling. So, did he really adopt a nine-month old baby of a deceased friend? How much of the story is FACT or FAKE?

Image via blogspot.com

FAKE: Ryan Gosling, to the best of our knowledge, has never been a father or adopted a precious orphan

Hey girl, do your research next time!
Image via SAYS.com

There’s also the sheer implausibility of the story: In the modern 24-hour news age, it’s inconceivable that a high-profile celeb like Gosling could adopt and keep a child for a year without someone getting wind of it. If the Croatian football team can’t take a bath without paparazzi around, what chance does one of the world’s sexiest men have of going through a lengthy custody battle in perfect secrecy?

        dailydot.com

As far as we know, there is nothing to this story: we've found no previous account of Ryan Gosling ever having an adoptive child, much less losing one. And, as a number of family law lawyers have pointed out, the scenario described above (i.e., a biological father reclaiming his child a year after it was adopted by someone else) isn't possible, as the adoption couldn't have taken place had the father not first surrendered his rights to the child or had them permanently terminated by the court for some reason (such as abuse).

        snopes.com

Then what's the rationale behind the fake story? While trollish and self-congratulatory ego-stroking is no doubt is a strong driving force, there is a more prosaic motivation: money.

Image via teespring.com

The post linked Gosling aficionados to a page called Teespring where they could buy T-shirts purporting to support the Orphanage Home Foundation, along with the chance to meet Gosling.

        refinery29.com

Guess what turns up when you Google Orphanage Home Foundation? Nothing. Basically, the so-called charity, the Orphanage Home Foundation, doesn't exist.

        dailydot.com

The shirt's logo, incidentally, is "Young, Wild & Free" — a fairly inappropriate slogan for anything connected to an orphanage. Yay, orphans! So young. So wild. So free.

        refinery29.com

Moreover, the Teespring site has now issued a statement about the misleading Gosling rumours

"The Teespring campaign in question has been officially canceled and pulled down from the site with refunds issued in full to all of the buyers. The seller violated key points in Teespring’s terms of services as it included an unverified charity and solicited a giveaway. Teespring apologizes for any inconvenience the campaign may have caused during this time."

M'sian Mother & Daughter Spend 4 Months In Jail After Aussie Police Mistake Tea For Drugs

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

A Malaysian mother and daughter duo spent four months in jail after being wrongly accused of importing drugs into Australia — even after police knew there were problems with drug identification

In reality, Connie Chong Vun Pui and her daughter Melanie Lim San Yan were only trying to bring over 25kg of brown sugar cane tea, a popular and traditional remedy for an array of ailments in Malaysia that is produced by Chinese brand Jiu Ji Gong (九吉公).According to Sydney Morning Herald, the women were planning to sell it for a net profit of AUD90 (RM270) per five boxes, but in January, two of their shipments were seized by Australian Border Force (ABF) officers at Sydney Airport.The tea was wrongly identified as amphetamines.

Pinning down the brown sugar as illegal drug phenmetrazine, ABF officials followed the shipment address and raided the women's suburb home in the south west of Sydney

The mother and daughter were charged with commercial  drug supply, which carries a lifetime prison sentence, and were not granted bail despite ongoing investigations.The Downing Local Court heard on Tuesday, 16 November, that police knew within weeks that there was a problem with drug identification, but they did not pass this information on to the women's legal team, leaving them behind bars.The Daily Mail reported that, in April, an ABF officer emailed Bankstown Detective Senior Constable Tara Conaghan to tell her that their laboratory results had determined there were no prohibited substances."Mate, in a nutshell, we cannot take from this ABF result that the sample contains or does not contain phenmetrazine," the email read.The officer said the test had identified phenmetrazine only as the fourth most likely substance contained in the seized products, after sugar, sucrose, and powdered sugar.

Image via 7NEWS

Even though Conaghan asked for forensic testing of the samples to be expedited under state police, she could not explain why the mother and daughter were left in jail during the process

Under cross-examination in court, Conaghan remained silent after Chong's barrister Steve Boland questioned her about why the accused were left to sit in jail.The women were finally released from jail in May, but the charges against them were not withdrawn until August after New South Wales Police finally received their own forensic analysis results.Chong and Lim are now suing for legal costs, but the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions has refused to pay.According to 7NEWS, defence lawyer Benjamin Goh said, "It is a gross injustice.""Two innocent women that have served their time as a result of the police not doing the investigations properly," he added outside of court last Tuesday.Defence barrister Boland also told the court: "It is open to the Crown to say 'Sorry, we stuffed up and two women went to prison for our dodgy prosecution'."The case has been adjourned to March next year.

Last year, a Malaysian flight attendant was shown leniency after an Australian court heard why she resorted to trafficking drugs:

She was sentenced to almost a decade behind bars on Thursday, 8 October.

6 Examples That Can Help You Get Ahead In Life Using Probabilities

In the early 90s, a group of college students teamed up to make a fortune — playing Blackjack at casinos.
If you’re not a gambler, this might seem like the worst idea ever.

Not only is gambling morally questionable, the idea you can go into a casino — where the house always wins right? — and make consistent money is unbelievable.Yet, that’s exactly what the legendary MIT Blackjack Team did. By the time they were done, one of the founders estimates they’d made more than USD6 million in profits. Since then, there’s been several books and Hollywood movies made about them.The focus of this article isn’t about winning money at casinos though. It’s what we can learn about how they did it consistently — using a combination of math, probability and psychology. Because while many of us will never step foot into a casino, we all live in a complex world filled with multiple scenarios.And in this sense, learning how to think and make decisions based on probabilities — a bit like a professional gambler — can help us in our lives.This is how to live with probabilities and win.

The myth of the best answer

I don’t know about you, but in the environment, I grew up in, there was always a “correct answer” — the best thing to do in any given situation. Probably hammered into our minds by standardized exams.Result: I’m naturally a bit of a one-track mind: If I don’t force myself to think critically, I tend to go “by the book.”In reality, though, we live in a world where things aren’t usually black or white. It’s not just Option A vs Option B. It’s more like A, B, C,… X, Y, Z, AA, BB, CC… Throw in the time factor and you realize there’s actually an infinite number of possibilities.Do you pick Option A today? Or do you wait for six months and try Option CC instead? Then, what do you do next? The truth is there are many paths, but you’ll never know for sure which is the best one.

When you realize there’s no “right” answer, it gives you freedom.

Data & statistics — your best friends

Thankfully, we have the greatest friend known to mankind — data. So powerful and yet so underrated. And with the Internet, it’s available at our fingertips — mostly for free.There’s a reason why books/articles/your university papers always need research behind them. Because in this era of #fakenews, data can give us evidence about what’s really going on in the world. And not only can it tell us what’s happened before, but it can also give us clues about the future.Going back to the MIT Blackjack Team that won so much money. They didn’t do it by cutting a deal with the devil. Rather, it was mathematics. By keeping track of cards that had already been played, they calculated the probability of whether a situation was favourable or not. And when the situation was right — they bet money accordingly.I won’t go into the details of card counting. But why I’m bringing this up is that card counting (done properly) only ever gave the player a slim 1-2% advantage over the casino. Even that was enough to make lots of money.It’s not so much that they were able to predict the future. They just understood the probabilities enough to win.

The problem with stories

You can use this kinda thinking in many ways. In the next few sections, I’ll share some practical situations where probability can guide us.We’ll start with one of the things that bug me most about the Internet. It’s our natural inclination towards extreme stories. For example, not many people would click this headline: “How to retire comfortably when you’re 65.” But we’re super-attracted to click-bait like “This 21-year old earned $5 million before he got his driving license!”One of my biggest fears is we’ll all forget about moderation and start drifting towards extremist views. Another example: some bitch gets caught on a viral video being racist to a GoJek driver. Just one incident, but then a lot of people start thinking, “oh, all _____ people are like that.”The human brain loves stories, and we always will.But remember that large samples of data are a more accurate way to view the world than personal stories. Even if your beloved cousin tells you XYZ business is “guaranteed” to make you rich, while tearfully sharing how it changed her life from loser housewife to financial-freedom-supermom (while showing off her latest jewellery collection of course).“What is the probability of that being true? What does the data across a wide sample of the population say?"

“But if you’re already so successful, how come you’re still selling dodgy business plans?”

Investing and predicting the future

Which brings me to the weird and wonderful world of investment.Did you know that in every company prospectus (the document companies ask you to read before you can invest), they always say something like the below?

			Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

If you’re used to investing, you’ll already have gotten used to this. But for those who are new — this might sound crazy: “You mean there are no guarantees? So why the f*ck do they put in all these fancy charts showing people made money?”How do we reconcile this?First of all, it is true that nobody can predict the future. But remember how the past can give us hints about the future? I can’t say what will happen tomorrow, but I can tell you what’s happened over the past few decades. For example, (after deducting inflation):1. The USA S&P 500 stock market index has returned around 7% per year2. Bonds (in 16 advanced economies) have returned around 2.5% per year3. The Malaysian EPF has returned around 2.5% per yearThis is why even safe investors put money into the stock market. Short-term swings may look scary, but in the long-term, stocks have historically done well.This is also how we know your dodgy friend’s “business opportunity” promising 20% per month is bullshit.

Hedging your bets

Does that mean you should invest all your money into the stock market?No, we’re probabilistic thinkers so we don’t jump to simple conclusions like that. The flip side to investing is there’s always a risk. Higher return, higher risk.That’s why investment advisers will always ask you to invest in a portfolio, a mix of investments that consists of some higher-risk stuff, with some lower-risk stuff to balance it out.There’s a lot of maths that goes on behind this. Answering complex questions like:1. I’m willing to handle X amount of risk. Which assets should I buy to get the best returns?2. If 1% of my portfolio is in risky stuff that has a 90% chance to go to 0, how many percents of my portfolio should be in safe stuff that has a 90% chance of earning 3%?3. I started investing when I was single at 30. Now that I’m 40 and have a family, how should I adjust my portfolio?Super difficult stuff. But thankfully, in today’s world, we have apps like robo-advisors to help with math and make it really simple for you.Of course, all this is assuming the world continues to chug along as it has. We also know that every once in a while, Black Swan events — extreme things that no one predicted — happen and disrupt everything. This is where things get really interesting.

Remember, there’s an app for everything. Even for reducing investment risks.

Bet small, win big

Which brings us to a powerful concept called asymmetric opportunities.Knowing how the world continues to change, how should you live your life to maximize chances for success?For me, I’d suggest getting involved in asymmetric opportunities. Things you can try with very low risk to yourself, but in the (small) chance that they succeed — could bring huge benefits.For examples, I call upon the wisdom of Twitter:

Asymmetric opportunities:Invest in startupsStart a companyCreate a book, podcast, videoCreate a (software) productGo on many first datesGo to a cocktail partyRead a Lindy bookMove to a big cityBuy BitcoinTweet— Naval (@naval) October 24, 2018

Let’s consider going on a first date. The worst thing that could happen is you waste a bit of money for coffee, and perhaps three hours of your time. (Yeah, it could be worse if your date is a serial killer, but that’s why we take safety precautions.)The best thing that could happen is you both end up falling in love and start an amazing family together.Yes, you still have to risk something. For the important things in life, you always will. But when the potential rewards are so huge, these small bets are worth it.

Other examples

Love: Instead of getting depressed over one person who suddenly stops replying your messages, you realise maybe you need to meet 10 new people — before you find someone compatible.Career Moves: Instead of looking for stability with a well-established company in a well-established industry, you consider new industries. If you’re young and can take a bit more risk — where do you think you’ll grow and learn the most? (Hint: usually not a big company with 50,000 people.)Salary Negotiation: Instead of asking for a salary just 20% above your current salary, you look at the market research data. If 10,000 other senior executives are getting paid between RM4,000 to RM6,000 for a similar role — maybe you should be getting paid that too.Passion: Instead of giving up because nobody buys your art, you start learning about conversion funnels. You realise you need more website visits to get more customers e.g. you need 1,000 visitors because only 20% will click “Buy Now.” And of the 20% who click “Buy Now,” only 10% will actually make payment: your first 20 customers.

Thinking in terms of absolutes is easy. If you ever catch yourself saying something similar to below, that's just your brain being lazy:

1. “I just lost the love of my life. I’ll never find anyone again.”2. “My money is gone. ‘Investing’ is a scam.”3. “The presentation was terrible. My reputation is forever tarnished.”But if you want to achieve more success, remember that life isn’t a series of black-and-white situations and choices like a chess game. Instead, it’s this beautifully complex canvas where a billion shades of anything can be painted.So the next time you face an important decision, apart from having faith and optimism, add this question to the way you think: “What are the probabilities?”
