Bank Negara Offers 6-Month Deferment For All Loans. Here's An FAQ With The Details

Bank Negara has announced a six-month loan repayment moratorium for all individuals and SMEs, to help relieve the financial burden of those affected by the COVID-19 outbreak

This moratorium, or delay of loan repayments, is automatic and will affect all individuals and SMEs, effective 1 April 2020. That means you do not need to apply as long as you qualify for the deferment.Nevertheless, interest would continue to accrue, or accumulate, during this period, which could result in a higher instalment amount or an extension of the loan period.

To help answer some of your questions, Bank Negara has also released an FAQ regarding the loan repayment moratorium:

1. What is deferment of loan or financing repayment?

It is a temporary deferment or suspension of loan/financing repayment obligation (principal and interest) for a limited period of time. During this period, borrowers/customers with loan/financing that meet the conditions do not need to make any repayment, and no late payment charges or penalties will be imposed.Interest/profit will continue to accrue on loan/financing repayments that are deferred and borrowers/customers will need to honour the deferred repayments in the future. Loan/financing repayment resumes after the deferment period.

2. What is the objective of the deferment package?

The aim of this package is to provide some relief to individuals and businesses who face temporary financial constraints arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that this will help individuals and businesses facing financial adversities to cope with challenges during this period. Loan/financing repayment resumes after the deferment period.

3. Which loan/financing qualifies for the deferment?

For individuals and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the deferment in conventional loans or Islamic financing repayment obligations (except credit cards) are automatically effected by banks and development financial institutions (DFIs) if the loans/financing meet these criteria:not in arrears exceeding 90 days as at 1 April 2020; anddenominated in Malaysian Ringgit.Meanwhile, corporate borrowers/customers may request for a moratorium on loan/financing repayment from their respective banks.

4. Can I ask for more than six months deferment?

The deferment is only for six months. Please contact the bank if you require a longer deferment period.

5. If I opt for the deferment, will my CCRIS records be adversely affected?

No. However, interest/profit will continue to accrue on loan/financing repayments that are deferred and borrowers/customers will need to honour the deferred repayments in the future.Borrowers/customers are advised to contact their banking institutions to discuss on the options available to resume repayments after the deferment period.

6. Do I need to apply?

No. All individual and SME loans/financing (excluding credit cards) that meet the criteria will automatically qualify for the deferment.

7. My loan/financing is in default, can I qualify? Can loans under rescheduling and restructuring (R&R) program be eligible for the deferment package?

Loans/financing accounts that are already more than 90 days in arrears, will not qualify for the deferment. Borrower/customers are advised to approach their banks to seek assistance.Loans/financing under R&R program is also eligible for the deferment subject to meeting the criteria.

8. How is the deferment package different from the other loan/financing moratoriums announced by banks recently?

Banks and development financial institutions (DFIs) have been proactive in responding to the needs of their borrowers/customers with various rescheduling and restructuring packages offered to assist affected borrowers/customers. Such efforts are welcomed and encouraged during these challenging times.Borrowers/customers that have accepted assistance from banks and DFIs to reschedule and restructure their loans/financing can opt out of such arrangement, if they wish to do so.

9. Which banks offer this deferment package?

All licensed banks, licensed Islamic banks and prescribed development financial institutions (DFIs) regulated by BNM will offer this deferment flexibility. Borrowers/customers that meet the eligibility criteria can avail themselves to this flexibility automatically.

10. How do I know if my bank has enrolled my loan/financing into the deferment package? How do I know if I have qualified?

Banking institutions will provide individuals and SME borrowers/customers with adequate information that their loan/financing repayments have been deferred under this scheme.Such information may be provided through a general advisory issued to borrowers/customers through appropriate channels, and/or published on banking institutions’ websites.

11. I want to continue with my loan/financing repayments. How do I opt-out of the automatic deferment package?

You should contact your bank if you wish to opt-out of the automatic deferment package, or continue to make timely and full repayment of your loan/financing.

12. I work in the tourism sector and have been badly affected by recent events, I have been struggling to meet my monthly mortgage payments since January and my savings are soon running dry. Do I qualify for the deferment package?

Yes, provided that your loan/financing is not in arrears for more than 90 days as at 1 April 2020.

13. I run a small business which has been severely affected by COVID-19, if business does not improve, I will soon be defaulting on my car and personal loans/financing? Do I qualify for the deferment package?

Yes, provided that your loans/financing are not in arrears for more than 90 days as at 1 April 2020.

14. Will I be charged additional interest on the repayment amount that is deferred by six months during the period?

For conventional loans, interest will continue to be charged on the outstanding balance comprising of both principal and interest portion (i.e. compounded) during the moratorium period.For Islamic financing, profit will continue to accrue on the outstanding principal amount. Such profit however will not be compounded in line with shariah principles. Banks are however not allowed to impose late penalty charges on the deferred amount.In other words, the loan/financing repayment is just deferred by six months.

15. What would happen to my loan/financing repayments after the deferment package period? How does being in the deferment package affect my interest payments after the six-month period? Is there an increase in monthly payments, or longer tenure?

Interest/profit will continue to accrue on loan/financing repayments that are deferred. This means accumulated repayment amount during the deferment of repayment period will be added to the outstanding loan/financing amount. Borrowers/customers are advised to contact their banking institutions to discuss on the suitable workout plans to repay the principal and interest accrued during the deferment period. This may include higher subsequent instalment amount or an extension of the loan/financing tenure.

16. Does this deferment package apply to newly approved/disbursed loans?

It applies to all loans/financing outstanding as at 1 April 2020.

17. Would my loans with other non-bank credit providers qualify for this deferment package?

No, this is only applicable to loans or financing offered by financial institutions regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia, namely banks and development financial institutions.

Image via Freepik

18. If a corporate opts in for a loan or financing repayment deferment package, would it still be able to get new financing from banks?

Yes. The credit decisions of financial institutions are subject to their respective internal credit policies and assessment.

19. As a corporate, what would be the criteria to opt-in?

Unlike individuals and SME borrowers/customers, corporate borrowers/customers should refer to their banks for the deferment and rescheduling and restructuring of their loans/financing. In addition, these loans/financing must meet this criteria:not in arrears exceeding 90 days as at 1 April 2020; anddenominated in Malaysian ringgit.

20. I have a loan/financing which is automatically deducted from my salary. Do I qualify for the deferment?

Yes. Please inform your company to stop the salary deduction if you wish to have your loan/financing repayments deferred. You should also contact your bank to inform them accordingly.

21. How should I notify the bank that I wish to opt-out of the deferment offer?

Please respond to the notification sent by the bank and inform that you wish to opt-out of the automatic deferment package, or continue to make timely and full repayment of your loan/financing.

22. Will the bank automatically stop the repayment requirement if I did not respond to their notification?

Yes.

23. I have two credit cards with big amounts outstanding, and I was retrenched in January. I have not been able to meet my credit card monthly obligations since January and am very worried of the consequences. Will I qualify for the conversion of these outstanding balances into term loans/financing? How does it work? Do I need to call my bank to effect this?

If you have been unable to meet the minimum monthly repayment on your credit card consecutively for the last 3 months, your card issuer will convert the outstanding balance into a term loan of not more than 3 years at an effective interest of not more than/financing 13% per annum.

24. I heard that banks will now provide automatic conversion of credit card balances into term loans/financing, but I have a monthly salary of about RM5,500. Will I qualify for this conversion package by banks?

Banks will convert the outstanding credit card balances of cardholders who are unable to meet the minimum monthly repayment consecutively for the last 3 months, regardless of the income levels of the cardholders.

25. Can credit cardholders who have converted their card balances into a term loan/financing immediately ask for six months deferment of loan or financing repayment package?

Yes, they can. Loan/financing repayment resumes after the deferment period.

26. If my credit card outstanding balances is converted to a term loan/financing, can I still use my credit card?

Yes, you can continue to use the credit card up to the remaining credit limit after taking into account the balance converted into a term loan/financing.The outstanding balance converted into the term loan/financing is treated as part of the credit card limit. In addition, the monthly term loan/financing instalments will then form part of the minimum monthly repayment amount on the credit card.

While Cheung was hiking with some friends at 5pm on the day of the incident, she was said to have lost her footing and plunged into a pool, reported Sky Post.The local daily purported that Cheung fell while she was posing for a photo.During the fall, Cheung reportedly hit her head before submerging into the 5m-deep pool.One of her friends jumped into the water to save her and called emergency services for help.When the police and firefighters arrived at the scene, Cheung was declared dead. Her body was sent to the Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan via a government helicopter.

At the time of writing, thousands of netizens flocked to Cheung's Instagram account to send their condolences

A report by The Sun on 13 July noted that Cheung had 6,000 followers on her Instagram. Today, 15 July, her followers have ballooned to 15,600.Her Instagram account has 97 posts showing her posing at popular scenic locations in Hong Kong, such as Sunset Peak, Tai To Yan, Castle Peak, Mok Min Cave, and Lantau Peak."Life should be fun, not dumb," reads her bio on Instagram. Her last photo on the social media platform shows her sitting on a beach with a bodyboard, with a caption that says, "Better days are coming. They are called: Saturday and Sunday."

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by SOPHIA CHEUNG (@hike.sofi)

Yesterday, 14 July, a colleague — who Cheung was last photographed with on her profile — penned an emotional goodbye post for her hiking buddy

After a few days of grieving, the friend said she went back to the office for work and was saddened not to see Cheung with her."It's you, under your influence, I started to get in touch with sports," the friend lamented."You said mountain trekking is not just about seeing beautiful sceneries and take beautiful pictures, [but] it is about bringing you happiness and satisfaction.""Every time when we were at the peak, you would say, 'You and I are just as small as a booger.'""Thank you, thank you for being in my life. I know you will continue to protect every one of us in different ways."

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by SOPHIA CHEUNG (@hike.sofi)

In an Instagram Story yesterday, she refuted that Cheung fell to her death because she wanted to 'check-in' at the location, stressing that her fall was purely accidental.The friend also clarified that a past photo showing Cheung hanging under a cliff at Sunset Peak is just a photo illusion, as there is ground right under the protruding rock."It is not a dangerous act," the friend said.

The friend's defence for Cheung came after some news reports described the hiking enthusiast as a "daredevil" who enjoyed "extreme sports".


Sibu Families Shocked To Find Graves Opened And Remains Of Loved Ones Missing

Seven graves at a Chinese cemetery in Sibu, Sarawak were recently found desecrated and the remains of the buried stolen for reasons still unknown

Sibu United Chinese Graveyard Association chairman Teo Boon Siew confirmed the shocking incident at the Bukit Aup cemetery with The Borneo Post on Monday, 4 April."I was informed about the matter by one of the family members of the deceased buried there who went to the cemetery on Sunday, 3 April, to observe Qing Ming festival," he said."We visited the cemetery and found seven graves were desecrated and the coffins were found burnt."

During the visit, Teo noted that the bones of the deceased were no where to be found, and were probably the target of the culprits

"We don't know who did it, but we believe that it was done by experts as they had made six dents on the front, middle, and back of each of the seven graves," he said, while condemning the perpetrators for not respecting the dead."They took out the bones and burned the coffins in the nearby bushes."He also estimated that the vandalism occurred over two weeks ago as grass had started to grow at the site where the coffins were set on fire.

Image via The Borneo Post

One of the family members said he was horrified to find his late 18-year-old sister's grave disturbed, and her casket and remains taken away

"I am very sad over this inhumane act," said 38-year-old Tiong Chong Yee who discovered the empty tomb on Sunday, as quoted by The Star.Another victim's family member, 28-year-old Ling Sing Ying, said she also could not believe what she saw when she visited her father's grave."I don't know why people would do this to us. We don't have any enemies," she said, adding that her family had not placed any valuables inside the coffin when her father was buried in 2005.

The graveyard association chairman said the family members of the affected tombs have since lodged police reports

According to Sarawak local news publisher TVS, acting Sibu district police chief Dr Collin Babat said they have received four reports regarding the case."An investigation paper has been opened under Section 297 of the Penal Code for invading a burial ground," he said.

Google Changed Its Logo But Can You Spot The Difference?

Can you spot the difference? These are the two versions of Google's logo, the one below is the new one.

Image via guim.co.uk

Well, without fanfare, Google has changed its logo for only the third time in a decade – by just two pixels. Yes!

The minuscule change was spotted by eagle-eyed Redditors, with the fact that it was even picked up on being testament to the brand's power and omnipresence. The change basically comes down to kerning, with Google adjusting the letters to improve the logo's readability and decipherability.

        independent.co.uk

As any good design nerd knows, lazy kerning can be the source of a major headache. And nothing feels better than seeing those letters pushed, pixel by pixel, into their proper place. In Google's case the bottom of the"l" and "e" didn't quite lineup, and as redditor nal1200 noted, "[That] must have driven some design employee crazy." To fix it, Google moved the "g" one pixel to the right and the "l" one pixel down and to the right.

        gizmodo.com

Here's how it looked before:

Image via independent.co.uk

And here's how it looks now:

Image via independent.co.uk

In case you're still having trouble spotting the difference, here's a GIF that will make things easy:

Image via kinja-img.com

A Google logo-adjustment isn't unprecedented, though

Google logo, all the way back to the beginning
Image via kinja-img.com

Google has fiddled with its logo countless times throughout its history, previously switching from a more textural style to a more blank one, as many brands like eBay also have.

        independent.co.uk

From the company which famously a/b tested which shade of blue to use in adverts – and made $200m in the process – you can be sure the decision wasn't made lightly.

Not only are the frames of the rackets covered with LV's trademark, even the inside of the shuttlecocks have an LV logo

Needless to say that the racket bag has the good ol' LV monogram.The set even comes with a sleeve for the shuttlecock case.

Thousands of netizens tagged their badminton buddies in the comment section."Maybe we'll actually win against Andy using these rackets!" said an optimistic badminton player."If you want me to play badminton, then you know what to do," hinted a Facebook user, asking their friend to buy him the set.

Meanwhile, on the Big Eater Facebook page, one user asked their friend if they are willing to use a designer racket to play the rough sport."Can I win against Lee Chong Wei after buying this?" another netizen said in jest.

Here's How You Can Identify Different Police Ranks So You Can Protect Yourself

You ever feel extra nervous when you see police officers even though you're not doing anything illegal?

Me at a roadblock with my seat belt on, a valid driving license, and absolutely nothing questionable in my car:

Image via GIPHY

No matter the situation, here's a list of legal rights meant to protect you when dealing with the police:

1.  If stopped by a uniformed officer, take note of their name and ID number

Image via Miera Zulyana/Malay Mail

This is one of the most crucial things to remember. According to the Malaysian Bar, you can find details such as their name and ID number on their uniform. Besides that, you should also remember the number plate of their patrol vehicle.

2. If you are stopped by an officer who is not in uniform, politely ask to see their authority card

Image via Malaysian Crime Watch/Facebook

Each Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officer has their own authority card. They are categorised into different colours based on an officer's rank. If the officer presents you a red police authority card, it means that they have been suspended from the police force and they do not have the authority to apprehend anyone. You do not have to follow the orders of a suspended officer and it is your right to walk away. Authority cards also come in blue for those ranked inspector and above, yellow for officers below the rank of inspector, and white for reserve officers.

The Star reported that an officer of at least the rank of inspector must be present when making arrests, conducting raids, roadblocks, or body searches.

3. You are not required to give out personal information besides your name, IC number, and address. If an officer asks other questions, politely reply with "Am I under arrest?"

If an officer says you are under arrest, do not resist. You may ask the reason why as well as which police station you will be taken to. An arrest is unlawful if you are not informed of the reason.If you are not under arrest, you may walk away or refuse to follow the officer to the police station or anywhere else.

4. Individuals under arrest have the right to a phone call

State the name of the item out loud and when your bags and pockets are empty, turn them inside out.

6. Upon arrest, police are allowed to conduct body searches to find items related to the suspected offence

15 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Be Fined For In Malaysia

Be careful if you sing 'Despacito' in public since it’s now considered an obscene song, you could be fined!

Don’t believe us? Read on. We found some offences that most Malaysians (ourselves included) may not know are illegal. Some are quite funny, while some are disturbing.

Here are 15 illegal acts you can be fined for in Malaysia:

1. Jaywalking

Image via SAYS

This is the act of crossing roads without regard for approaching traffic, like when you dash across the road and avoid oncoming traffic. What you should be doing is waiting for the traffic lights to turn red and then proceed to cross at the zebra pedestrian path.In Malaysia, jaywalkers are charged under Section 45, of the Road Transport Act 1999 (Akta Lalulintas 1999). The law states that a pedestrian is required to use a bridge or zebra-crossing if either one or both is present within a 100 metre radius of where they intend to cross. Failure to do so results in a fine.Within Kuala Lumpur, the minimum fine is RM30 if paid on the spot, or at any DBKL payment counter within 14 days. But the fine will increase to RM50 if the deadline is not met, and will continue to periodically increase to RM150 after a month. The maximum fine for the offense of jaywalking is capped at RM500.

2. Advertising for syphilis treatment

Image via SAYS

Under the Indecent Advertisement Act 1953, it is considered an offence to advertise syphilis treatment. In fact, any advertisement for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and any advertisement of aphrodisiac properties is an offence. If anyone is found guilty of doing so, that person can be imprisoned for not more than 3 months, or fine not more than RM100.

3. Acts of mischief, like destroying someone else's possession

Image via SAYS

For example, if you throw a ring into a river, you may be penalised for doing so under the mischief section of the Penal Code. However, it should be noted that the example stated only applies if it was someone else’s ring, and was done so to cause wrongful loss to the owner of the ring.

4. Making too much noise

Image via SAYS

If you’re a fan of the drums or the trumpet, this should interest you. You could be fined for causing excessive noise under the Minor Offences Act 1955, which applies when one beats “a drum or tom-tom, or blows a horn or trumpet, or beats or sounds any instrument or utensil in such a manner as to cause annoyance or inconvenience to occupants of any premises in the vicinity”.If caught, you could be fined up to RM100.

5. Laying a corpse in public

Image via SAYS

It is illegal to leave behind a dying person or a corpse in any public or private place without the consent of the owner. This offence can be punishable with imprisonment up to 6 months, or a fine of up to RM200, or even both.

6. Singing obscene songs in public

Image via SAYS

Think twice before singing out loud in public, lest you could be fined, or even end up being jailed! But of course this depends on whether someone reports you for the crime, or if you’re unfortunately caught by the authorities. As stated in section 294 of the Act 574 Penal Code:

Image via CompareHero.my

7. Being drunk in public

Image via SAYS

Yes, you read that right. In Malaysia, you can be fined or even jailed if you are drunk and are found incapable of taking care of yourself when in public. You could be fined up to RM100 or could also be jailed.

Image via CompareHero.my

8. Fighting in Public

Image via SAYS

This is also stated within the Drunkenness and disorderly behavior in public places act which states that if you cause a ruckus in public, you risk being fined or jailed. This applies to all disorderly behavior in public, not only to those who are drunk. Therefore, keep the fights off the streets and don’t resort to violence.

9. Bathing yourself or your dog in public

Image via SAYS

Malaysia is notoriously known for abrupt water disruption, but even so, be careful where you bath the next time it happens. Did you know that it is illegal to bath in public? Not that you would want to do so.

Image via CompareHero.my

Do take note that under the same law (Act 336, Minor Offences Act 1955), it is also illegal to bath your pets in public. Both of the offences can cause you a fine of up to RM100.

10. Riding a horse or an elephant on the streets of Malaysia

Image via SAYS

Let’s leave our Game of Thrones fantasies in our head and don’t travel the streets of KL on our steed. If you intend on riding a horse, make sure you do so at a legal riding ground, and don’t ride a horse on the streets of Malaysia between sunset and sunrise. If the criteria as above is not adhered to, a person can be fined up to RM100. By the way, it is also illegal to ride or even lead an elephant on the streets in Malaysia. But, you can do so if you have obtained permission first from the chief police officer. Though we advise you to stick to the legal modes of transportation in Malaysia.

11. If your dog chases a person

Image via SAYS

Dog owners, take note. Keep track of your dogs because if your dog runs loose and chases an individual, or even a vehicle along a public road, you can be fined up to RM100!

Image via CompareHero.my

If you dog causes injury to another individual, the owner of the dog can be fined up to RM50, and will also have to provide compensation to the injured individual.

12. Spitting

Image via SAYS

This is a despicable act, and rightfully so it is an offence if you do it in Malaysia. Though we still see this happening across the streets of KL, unfortunately. If needed, spit into a tissue or handkerchief, or find the nearest public restroom. Under the Minor Offences Act 1955, it’s illegal to spit as per below:

Image via CompareHero.my

13. Burning material

Image via SAYS

If you want to get rid of unwanted items by burning it in your own backyard, think again. Burning any material to the annoyance, inconvenience or danger of the public will cause you a fine of up to RM50.This is in accordance to the law stated under the Minor Offences 1955. The next time you find a neighbor setting up fire in his/her backyard, remind them of this. You shouldn’t have to struggle to breathe through the smog.

14. Attempting Suicide

Image via SAYS

Although it may sound morbid, if a person attempts suicide, and does not die, that person can be charged. Under section 309 of the Penal Code:

Image via CompareHero.my

In 2012, the Malaysian Law Reform Committee announced plans of reviewing this law, that was commissioned under the colonial era of the British, but as of now there have been no new developments.

15. Nudity

Image via SAYS

Remember the Australians who got hauled off to court for stripping down to their undies at the end of an F1 race last year? They were charged with public nuisance and indecency charges. However, they were let off the hook after their guilty plea and apologising for their behavior. But do take note that anyone caught stripping in public in Malaysia can be charged for public nudity, and may be subjected to a fine or jail time. Similar to section 294 of the Penal Code where you can be charged for singing obscene song, you will charged according to the same law for public nudity.  Keep your clothes on in public, Malaysians!

Datuk Seri Azalina Othman changes her mind about contesting for Wanita UMNO chief

In an about turn, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said will ignore the contest for the Wanita Umno chief post in favour of defending her supreme council seat in the coming party elections.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Azalina, who had wanted to challenge Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil for the top Wanita post, is said to have decided to pull out of the race. She may instead contest for a seat in the Umno supreme council.

        thestar.com.my

Quoting a source close to the former minister, news portal The Malaysian Insider said that Azalina’s sudden decision came “after she was advised to do so” while English daily The Star, citing an insider from her campaign team, reported that the move came after a discussion with top party leaders.

        malaysia-today.net

“Sources said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had also advised Azalina to reconsider her decision to take on Shahrizat. There was concern that the contest may unsettle the wing, which is seen as the backbone of Umno,” the newspaper said.

UMNO postpones election dates by two weeks to 19th October

To accommodate the visit of two world leaders and requests from its various division and branches, Umno today announced new dates for its branch and divisional meetings and party nominations and election.

The Umno supreme council elections has been postponed by two weeks to October 19 from October 5, while nomination day is now slated for September 28, instead of September 7.

Mohd Ali says he will be contesting this coming election

Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam today confirmed that he would be contesting in the party election in October. However, he had yet to decide on the post to contest.

        thesundaily.my

Mohd Ali says he will be contesting in the elections.

The former Melaka Chief minister said the strong show of support for him to contest was among the reason for him to want to continue to contribute for the party and society. Another reason, he said, was to further the Malay and bumiputera cause.

        thesundaily.my

"I have to get the views from the grassroots. Besides Bandar Tun Razak, there are also other divisions which have expressed their support, but I have to get feedback from the grassroots on the post that I should contest for,"

        malaysiakini.com

Mohd Ali, 63, was elected Umno vice-president in 2004, but was not allowed to contest for the deputy president post in 2009 after he was found to have violated the party election regulations.

The Umno election to be held at the end of the year will adopt the ‘electoral college’ system which merges the election systems from the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK).

        themalaymailonline.com

UMNO Election Committee chairman Tan Sri Tajol Rosli Ghazali said the system was perceived to be suitable for implementation in the election of the top leadership of the party which would involve 146,000 members at the grassroots level.

        abnxcess.com

“This time around, one division will carry one vote. For example, A and B are contesting for the president’s post, if A wins, then A gets one vote. This also proves Umno’s openness and willingness to make changes based on the increasingly challenging political landscape,” he said.

What Made This 74-Year-Old Man Live 30 Years In A Jungle Near Wangsa Melawati?

This is Mohamad Dris, a 74-year-old unmarried man living in a patch of jungle in Wangsa Melawati for the past 30 year

Image via astroawani.com

In the picture above, Uncle Mohamad, as he is otherwise referred to, is seen sitting in front of his dilapidated hut which he built in the year 1980 using discarded planks and zinc. The now-rotting hut contains a wooden bunk he made himself, covered with a mat for him to sleep on.

Uncle Mohamad said he did not like to seek sympathy from others but tried to continue his life alone. In fact, he had never enjoyed facilities such as electricity and water since staying at the hut.

Image via freemalaysiatoday.com

His hut was discovered by Wangsa Maju police station. As per its Deputy Chief Sergeant Jasman Aris, police found the old man while conducting Operation "Santa" on Christmas eve.

"We received complaints from local residents about a hut in a small jungle behind the Damaisari Housing, Desa Melawati.They were worried the hut could be used as a den for criminal activities.

        astroawani.com

Narrating the experience, Jasman said they raided the hut at 1am

Their arrival was greeted by the sounds of dogs barking.Then a weak old man wearing a worn out sarong and shirtless emerged from the hut.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

"We felt sad looking at the old man's situation."

A policeman quickly bought food and he shed tears as he was overwhelmed by the gesture."He then broke into a smile and said he could not eat rice and consume sweet drinks as he had diabetes," he said.Jasman said the old man beamed and happily accepted when a policeman bought him bread and mineral water.

        thesundaily.my

"We take turns sending bread and water to Uncle Mohamad as we sympathise with his condition, pending welfare aid," he said

He said the Wangsa Maju Police Station had notified the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council Baitulmal, and endeavoured to find a more comfortable home for him."We, at the Wangsa Maju Police Station, hope Uncle Mohamad gets support and aid from Baitulmal and surrounding residents to change his future," he said.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

So what made Uncle Mohamad live 30 years along in a jungle?

Uncle Mohamad said he lived alone in the jungle, behind the Damaisari housing area, as he could not afford to rent a house after losing his rubber tapping job in the area, which was originally a rubber plantation.

        astroawani.com

Amidst the rapid development, while the plight of Uncle Mohamad living in a patch of jungle was easily overlooked, his life is definitely changing for the better since the police stumbled upon him

M'sian Software Developer Shares How Hackers Can Wire Money Out Of Your Bank Without OTPs

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

A Malaysian software developer's Facebook post has gone viral for detailing how Android users downloading apps of unknown origin would allow hackers to gain complete access to their bank accounts

The post was uploaded by Ah Hong VS on Tuesday, 7 June, and it has since garnered over 30,000 shares, with hundreds of netizens thanking him for taking his time to share the informative public service announcement (PSA).Hong said he is a software developer specialising in mobile apps. He told SAYS that he shared what he knew out of goodwill so that people can learn about the growing danger of online scams. "Usually, many Facebook and Instagram ads will offer special discounts and then the payment requires you to download an app to complete the transaction," he began."It is especially easy for Chinese users to (be a victim) because their phones' security has been compromised. If you have played Chinese games such as Wang Z-- R- Y-- and He P--- J--- Ying, you have already enabled the permission to install from unknown sources in the setting.""This setting is to prevent the installation of malware. But since it is turned on, installing malware apps is a breeze."Hong was referring to the widely popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) and battle royale games that are published in the China market. However, it also applies to anyone who downloads apps that are not available in their region or people who download pirated versions of video games and apps.

Image via Ah Hong VS (Facebook)

Hong proceeded to talk about Android Package Kit (APK)

For context, APK is an archive file (one or more files along with metadata compressed into a single file) that allows Android users to install an app. Normally, when one downloads an app or an update from Google Play, the store automatically installs the APK for them. Most apps on Google Play go through some form of security check before they are readily available to users.Direct downloading APKs from unofficial sources runs the risk of having malware on users' devices.Hong continued, "After installing the APK (an app you download from an unofficial source in this case), you need to create an account.""At this stage, everything still looks very normal, like any ordinary app. When it comes to SMS authentication verification, it will request 'SMS permission' otherwise you won't be able to continue.""When you authorise the 'SMS permission' to the app, the app can read and delete SMSes you receive."

Image via Ah Hong VS (Facebook)

Hong said that during the shopping process after users click the link from Facebook and Instagram ads, they would have to proceed to pay on the APK

"The payment gateway you go to when you want to make payment is all fake. Credit card, FPX, Maybank, AmBank, etc... The e-banking interfaces are all fake," he shared."You can't get past the page regardless of what you enter (credit card credentials or bank login details). (It will say that it is) under maintenance and then 'please try again with another bank/card.'""Then, people who haven't realised will continue to use another account, and they will continue to swipe or pay with another account, but they still can't pay.""Their customer service will come to 'comfort' you: Dear customer, our system is being upgraded, please try again later."

Image via CPO Magazine

During the process, Hong said users have handed over their usernames and passwords to bad actors

The bad actors would then begin to transfer money out of their savings accounts or spend with their credit cards.Hong said that not every app can run in the background of users' devices as they have the power-saving mode to kill off background programmes."So they (bad actors) will deliberately ensure that their app is still running in the background of your phone by sending you an SMS and making sure their app is still connected to their system," he related."If you receive such an SMS, turn off all apps immediately. Check your app list to make sure it contains only apps from official sources."Hong said when they send SMSes to users, they confirm that they can read their SMSes."They will start to act. They will log in to your (bank) accounts to change the password that is bound to your phone.""Be aware. They are not transferring money yet. They are changing the phone number that is bound to the bank.""Once the changes are made and they receive the one-time password (OTP) for the action, they do not need OTPs to be sent to your mobile phone to transfer money anymore. Basically, you won't know how much money they have transferred out of your accounts until you check."

Image via @MyMaybank (Twitter)

When users have been hacked, Hong said they must be wondering how their money could have been transferred out without receiving any OTP notification

"Remember what I said in the beginning? The app already has the SMS permission to read and delete (any SMSes). They read your SMSes and delete them directly, without you even knowing it," he explained."They only need to read your SMS once to change the phone number bound to your bank accounts that receive OTPs. After that, they can basically do whatever they want."Hong contended that this modus operandi is the reason why many people are complaining that they did not receive OTPs.These are his suggestions to avoid becoming a victim of hackers:– Install apps from China with caution. This is very important, especially for people who download APKs. Do not turn on 'allow app installation from unknown sources' in the setting.– If you have to turn on the setting to download (the MOBA video game), remember to turn it off after installation.– Check the apps on your phone regularly. Delete unused apps immediately.– Remember the security photo of your online banking accounts. If you don't see the right photo, it is not the real e-banking portal.– Remember to check which apps have permission to access your SMSes and make sure you only allow this feature to apps you trust.– Only install apps from Google Play. Do not install apps from elsewhere.

Hong said he will share another post about the same issue for iOS users. You can find his viral post below:

He ignored the woman and continued walking around the second floor, reported The Star Online. However, the woman, fearing her safety, decided to call the Paya Terubong Village Development and Security Committee's (JKKK) service team for help.Frankie Kee, Chairman of JKKK, who is also Special Assistant to Paya Terubong Assemblyman Yeoh Soon Hin, was quoted by The Star Online saying that a service team member who received the call contacted the police immediately."Three of our members went to the scene with the police and the man was still there. He told us that Goddess Mazu had told him to strip," he told The Star Online.

However, their attempts to get him to put on clothes didn't work, as he kept claiming it was Goddess Mazu who had ordered him to strip

At which point, one of the service team members pretended to be possessed by the same Goddess and ordered him to put on his clothes. The idea worked.Following which, he was taken away by the police and has been sent to the Jalan Perak psychiatric hospital for observation, OCPD Asst Comm Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said.

Laksa Johor merupakan antara laksa yang cara penyediaannya boleh dikatakan agak rumit. Bahan yang digunakan merupakan gabungan kerisik, isi ikan kurau dan rempah kari. Apa yang uniknya Laksa Johor ini adalah ia menggunakan spaghetti sebagai pengganti kepada mi yang sering digunakan dalam hidangan laksa. Katanya, penggunaan spaghetti ini merupakan pengaruh dari kerabat Johor yang berasal dari Barat. Lebih menarik, kuah Laksa Johor ini lebih pekat daripada biasa dan orang Johor selalunya makan menggunakan tangan. Ya, agak pelik di situ. Tetapi apa-apa pun ini merupakan keunikan Laksa Johor.

6. Laksa Mi

Laksa Mi atau juga dikenali sebagai Mi Pangkor merupakan antara hidangan yang sangat popular di Lumut, Perak. Sejujurnya, admin sendiri baru pertama kali mendengar tentang kewujudan laksa jenis ini. Laksa Mi ini unik kerana ia tidak mempunyai rasa yang sama seperti laksa-laksa yang lain.  Antaranya ialah ia mempunyai kuah yang jernih dan selalu dimakan bersama sambal udang. Anda juga boleh memilih sama ada ingin memakannya bersama sup udang, sup ketam atau sup ikan. Sangat menarik bukan?

Bagi Laksa Sarawak pula, bahan utama seperti isi ayam dan mihun merupakan tarikan utamanya.Turut dihidangkan bersama Laksa Sarawak merupakan udang, telur dadar yang dipotong memanjang, taugeh dan perahan limau.

Ismail Sabri: BN Will Not Back Any Coalitions To Form Govt

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

Barisan Nasional (BN) has decided that the coalition will not back any other political coalition to form a government, former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced today, 22 November

Alhamdulillah, Dewan Tertinggi Barisan Nasional (BN) telah membuat keputusan untuk tidak menyokong mana-mana gabungan untuk membentuk kerajaan.BN tidak menyokong Pakatan Harapan (PH) mahupun Perikatan Nasional (PN).Setakat ini BN bersetuju kekal sebagai pembangkang.— Ismail Sabri (@IsmailSabri60) November 22, 2022

According to Ismail Sabri, BN has refused to support Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Perikatan Nasional (PN), two of the biggest coalitions

"So far BN has agreed to remain as the opposition," he tweeted.

The elections have resulted in a hung parliament

While PH won the highest number of seats at 82, and PN came in second with 73 seats, BN — despite suffering its worst-ever defeat in elections — has become the "kingmaker" due to its 30 seats.Both PH and PN need the support of parliamentarians from other parties to have a simple majority of 112 seats or more to form the next government. Neither of them can form a government without BN.Without BN, Malaysia may see a minority government in place.


Mahathir Accidentally Told People To Support BN At A Talk

The Star reported that Mahathir was speaking at a talk held in Pantai Dalam yesterday. "Give your support to Barisan candidates... oh, Pakatan Harapan," said the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) chairman as he realised his mistake.

Nonetheless, Mahathir laughed off his slip-up as him being old

"Sometimes I fall back to my old habits," he said, before adding that he is currently trying to bring down his old party."You know I used to be the UMNO president? Now I am trying to bring down UMNO," he added.According to The Star, the PPBM chairman ended his speech within 10 minutes as he had to move on to another talk in Putrajaya.

According to Petaling Jaya police, one of the delivery riders claimed that the 29-year-old man, who had ordered food, allegedly used a name that was worded in a way that was insulting to Islam.The 19-year-old delivery rider took a screenshot of the message sent by the customer and shared it with a food delivery group. Following which, an angered group of riders then went over to the man's house.

The delivery riders first beat up the man which resulted in injuries and then brought him to the Sungai Way police station for further action

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Mohamad Fakhruddin Abdul Hamid said that the five riders along with the man were then detained to be investigated under Section 298 and Section 147 of the Penal Code.Section 298 covers deliberately wounding a person's religious feelings, and Section 147 covers rioting.All six of them were remanded for two days.In the statement about the case, details about the name used by the man were not provided.Mohamad Fakhruddin advised against raising issues or making provocative statements that could threaten public order and harmony.

After the delivery riders were arrested along with the man they assaulted on Friday, a Facebook account has allegedly launched a fund collection drive purportedly to pay bail for the five of them

In a separate statement earlier today, 13 June, Mohamad Fakhruddin said that police are tracking down the owner of 'Gabungan Pertubuhan-Pertubuhan Pembela Islam' Facebook account for collecting funds under the name 'Tabung Kilat Ikat Jamin Rider Foodpanda' (Foodpanda Riders Bail Flash Fund).The group claimed that the five riders needed to pay bail money of about RM3,000 to RM4,000 per person.According to the Petaling Jaya police chief, the donations were to be channelled into a local bank account that is believed to be owned by the group, despite the fact that police have not asked for any bail."There are individuals or associations taking advantage of the situation by trying to collect funds for personal interests," he said, adding that an investigation paper has been opened under Section 420 of the Penal Code for alleged cheating and Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998.
