PayPal Accidentally Made This Man The Richest Man in The World

PayPal accidentally credits this man a whopping $92,233,720,368,547,800, making him by far the richest man in the world!

Chris Reynolds, 56, said he was shocked when he received his monthly statement via e-mail from PayPal last week, with an ending balance of $92 quadrillion, over a million times richer than the world's richest man, Carlos Slim.

READ: How the PayPal accidentally made the man in above segment 'the richest man in the world'

Oops! PayPal, the online money-transfer company, has accidentally credited a man in Delaware a whopping $92,233,720,368,547,800, making him by far the richest man in the world.

        indiatimes.com

Chris Reynolds of Delaware isn’t exactly what you’d describe as a PayPal power user. He says he spends under $100 each every month on stuff like vintage car parts. The most he’d ever made—until recently—was around $1,000 selling a pair of old BMW tires.

        business-standard.com

Some people might have cruised PayPal’s T&Cs and been disappointed that at least a few million of that wouldn’t stick around in their balance after PayPal realized the error. But Reynolds is just psyched to have his balance back at $0.

Chris Reynolds' PayPal account statement for June, seen here, suggested Reynolds had $92 quadrillion. PayPal later apologized and said there had been a glitch.

Reynolds said he has been a PayPal customer for about 10 years and uses it to buy and sell items on eBay, including vintage car parts. He said he usually spends no more than $100 a month using PayPal.

        business-standard.com

After absorbing the initial shock, Reynolds logged on to PayPal's site and saw that his balance was listed there as $0.

What Chris Reynolds said about the incident

The 56-year-old public relations executive from Media, Pa., says he was shocked to see “a number with a lot of digits” when he opened his PayPal statement for June.

        csmonitor.com

For a moment, Mr. Reynolds thought he owed someone $92 quadrillion, or 5,411 times the national debt.
“That was sobering,” he says.

        deccanherald.com

Since the brief blunder, Reynolds, who works at the PR firm he co-founded with his wife (Reynolds Ink), says he has had some time to think about what he would have done with $92 quadrillion.

        deathandtaxesmag.com

The first thing he would have spent the money on was not a sports car, a vacation home, or even an early retirement.
“I’d want to pay down the US’ national debt. That’s been really bugging me,” Reynolds says.

Delivery Rider Treats Boy To Pizza After He Paid With A Bag Of Coins That Wasn't Enough

A kind delivery rider went viral for treating a desperate customer to pizza after the boy tried to pay less for his order with a bag of coins

Twitter user @idealuzair took to social media to share the story after his friend Faiz Rosman, a foodpanda delivery rider, first messaged him in disbelief to complain about a customer.Faiz said he had received an order that cost RM28.50 for a pizza, but when he turned up at the address with the delivery, a young boy came out and paid him the amount with a bag full of loose change.

Image via @idealuzair (Twitter)

Not having enough time to count the coins because he had another order to deliver, Faiz accepted the payment and drove off

However, he did tell the boy that he would come back later if he found that the amount he paid was not enough.Sure enough, stopping at a Petronas station later to exchange the money into bills, Faiz found that he had only received RM18 from the boy.

Faiz quickly went on WhatsApp to ask his customer about the missing money

"Does your father know that you ordered this?" Faiz asked, and warned the boy not to play games with him when he refused to admit anything in the first place.The boy said his father didn't know about the order. He also didn't give up his father's phone number when Faiz asked for it.However, when Faiz threatened to report the boy to the police, the young customer finally conceded and begged him not to do it, saying that he was scared that his father would scold him for ordering online, but he was really craving for a slice of pizza.The boy finally volunteered his father's phone number, ready to face the consequences, and also said he would pay Faiz RM15 if he drove back to collect it - the missing RM10 as well as a RM5 extra for the hassle he was sorry he caused.

In a turn of events, Faiz took pity on the boy and accepted the apology but declined the money

"That RM15 you can spend it later. I allow you to eat the food. I'll get my blessing elsewhere," Faiz wrote to the boy."Enjoy your meal and don't cheat anyone else in the future, okay?" he also advised.Glad to be off the hook, the boy replied that he was absolutely sorry "from the top of my head to the tip of my toes", then finally asked Faiz for permission to go offline because it was late and he wanted to sleep.

The tweet garnered nearly 24,000 likes and 18,000 retweets, with many netizens commenting how touched they were by Faiz's decision to forgive the 'scammer'

Many also laughed at how polite the little boy actually was."How old is the kid? He was a really sweet scammer, I can't believe he asked 'Can I go offline please, I would like to sleep'," laughed a Twitter user.

Budak tu umur berapaaa. Haha scammer sweet betul. "BOLEH SAYA KELUAR DARI TALIAN, SAYA DAH NAK TIDO" I KENNOT TUL.— Browny Vida (@cikkaleidoscope) December 3, 2020

Other netizens didn't know whether to laugh or cry with the boy's honest replies, with this netizen crying after reading how sorry the boy was.

“saya minta maaf dari hujung rambut ke hujung kaki” — an. (@nataliasuhaimi) December 3, 2020

Meanwhile, other netizens guessed the boy must have been really desperate for pizza, with a netizen asking, "He must have used all his piggy bank money for this, right?"

Anda Anti Vaksin? Mungkin Anda Tak Tahu Sejarah Polio Yang Melanda Eropah & USA Dahulu

Bidang perubatan mempunyai sejarah yang panjang.
Sebahagian golongan di dalam masyarakat pada hari ini gagal memahami dan belajar daripada sejarah dahulu sehingga mereka mengambil tindakan di luar konteks yang betul.

Image via viva.co.id

Anti vaksin adalah antara isu yang masih lagi segar dibincangkan di dalam masyarakat. Mereka ini sebenarnya tidak sedar dengan apa yang dilakukan. Niatnya adalah baik dan suci untuk memastikan keturunan mereka bebas daripada ‘bendasing’. Mereka inginkan kehidupan yang organik dan semula jadi.Katanya, “Kenapa ingin disuntik sedangkan anak saya sihat?”

Antara punca sebahagian orang tidak mahu mengambil vaksin adalah kerana terlalu selesa dengan keadaan mereka

Semasa vaksin mula diperkenal, orang ramai berpusu-pusu dan berusaha memastikan diri serta ahli keluarganya menerima vaksin. Ketika itu, kes yang dicatatkan adalah tinggi dan mungkin berlaku dalam kalangan ahli keluarga atau kenalan terdekat.Semakin lama, bilangan kes semakin berkurang. Orang pun semakin selesa dan merasakan bahawa keluarga mereka sudah selamat. Tapi apabila terkena, doktor juga yang dicari.

Kalau mereka tahu bagaimana penyakit polio melanda masyarakat suatu ketika dahulu, pastinya mereka akan ubah fikiran

Pada awal abad ke-20, wabak polio menyerang masyarakat di Eropah dan Amerika Syarikat. Ratusan ribu orang dijangkiti dengan angka kematian mececah ribuan orang. Belum lagi dikira mereka yang mengalami kecacatan seumur hidup.

Image via abcnews.com

Semua yang mengalami selesema akan sentiasa berharap agar ianya bukan polio. Selepas penemuan vaksin pertama pada tahun 1955, dan seterusnya vaksin kedua pada tahun 1960, mimpi ngeri tersebut berakhir.Lihat sahaja dua tahun lepas (2016), semasa virus Zika yang berasal daripada Afrika mula masuk ke Malaysia, semua orang, khususnya ibu mengandung, risau dan takut jika terkena jangkitan yang boleh membuatkan bayi cacat. Begitulah mungkin perasaan yang dialami dahulu semasa wabak polio merebak, atau mungkin lebih.

Masyarakat dan profesional harus berinteraksi

Image via unimedias.fr

Walaupun vaksin telah terbukti secara saintifik di atas kertas dan realiti bahawa ia sangat berkesan dalam mencegah penyakit yang berkaitan serta selamat digunakan, mungkin ada sebahagian dalam kalangan masyarakat tidak mampu memahaminya.Golongan profesional kesihatan, khususnya, perlu mencari titik temu dengan golongan ini. Ia bukan masalah saintifik, sebaliknya isu sosial. Di sinilah interaksi antara dua pihak mula berperanan. Segala kebimbangan dan salah faham harus dijelaskan. Dalam masa yang sama, penjelasan tersebut harus sampai kepada mereka yang berkaitan.

Image via pinterpolitik.com

Persepsi dan keyakinan kepada sains pun mungkin sedikit sebanyak terjejas dengan kemunculan golongan pseudosains yang jelas tidak saintifik. Keraguan terhadap syarikat-syarikat farmaseutikal besar daripada Eropah dan Amerika Syarikat juga mungkin membuatkan orang takut dan berwaspada.Melihat kepada pengurangan pada liputan vaksin serta kemunculan semula kes-kes seperti campak, batuk kokol dan difteria, tindakan perlu diambil. Jika tidak dibendung, tidak mustahil wabak akan berlaku semula.

Handsome la Chef EL
*Melting la (*¯︶¯*) #TemanLelakiUpahan— ♥Nur  Izzah♥ (@CahayaIzzah01) March 12, 2015

Kenapa ramai jatuh hati dengan watak EL (Ezwan Lufti) lakonan Ungku Ismail Aziz? Ini sebabnya:

1. Watak EL memang tidak dapat dinafikan sangat romantik

Image via SAYS.com

Hampir setiap episod, kita dapat saksikan bagaimana EL menelefon mengajak Kyra keluar makan dan sering memberi bunga kepada Kyra.

2. EL sangat suka menyakat Kyra apabila dia mendapat peluang

Image via SAYS.com

"Itu bukan warm-up. Itu break dance."Kata-kata menyakat dia kadang-kadang memang menyakitkan hati tetapi itulah cara EL menunjukkan betapa dia sukakan Kyra.

3. Sebagai seorang chef di restoran miliknya, dia juga sering memasak untuk Kyra

Image via SAYS.com

Siapa yang tak suka lelaki yang pandai masak, kan?

4. Dia seorang yang sangat baik hati, prihatin dan suka menjaga orang lain sebelum dirinya

Image via SAYS.com

"Dup dup dup dup dup..." EL membuat bunyi kuda untuk memujuk Kyra makan bubur yang dimasaknya.

5. Cara EL memandang Kyra yang memang mengancam. Cair kan?

Image via SAYS.com

Betul cakap Kyra. Memang EL sangat kacak pakai 'blazer'.

6. Walaupun Kyra kadang-kadang kejam terhadap EL, dia tetap layan karenah Kyra

Image via SAYS.com

Bermula dengan setuju untuk menjadi teman lelaki upahan ke tunang upahan semata-mata untuk membantu Kyra berbaik semula dengan ayahnya.

Secara kesimpulannya, ramai yang jatuh hati pada EL sebab dia suka cakap dengan cara yang selamba. Cara yang selamba itulah yang membuat watak EL itu nampak 'charming'.

Minggu hadapan adalah minggu terakhir bagi siri Teman Lelaki Upahan

Tinggal 4 sahaja lagi episod sebelum siri ini tamat. Apakah kesudahan kisah EL dan Kyra?

Anda rasa EL akan kahwin dengan siapa?

Photos Of A Man Bringing His Dog To A Laundry Shop Sparks Further Controversy

The controversy sparked by a 'Muslim-only' launderette in Muar and another one in Perlis is now being fueled by a set of photos showing a man bringing his dog to a laundry shop

Image via Ismaweb

The photos first appeared on Isma's website Ismaweb

"Ismaweb" is a website of a Muslim rights group called IKATAN Muslimin Malaysia.The Muslim rights group published the photos a man cradling a dog whilst tending to his laundry at a launderette, arguing for the need of Muslim-only launderettes.Isma said that the person who submitted the photos was a fellow customer, who said the dog was also left on a chair and allowed to roam while the owner did the laundry.

Isma did not say when or where the photos were taken

While there were no details as to where and when the photos were taken, Isma claimed the photos were published by a netizen in light of the controversy over a laundrette which catered exclusively for Muslims in Johor."The photographs show a man bringing his pet dog into a laundrette. He is seen cradling the dog as he placed clothes in the washing machine. As he waited for the clothes to be washed, the man put the dog on a chair," read the article, according to a Malaysiakini translation.A dog's saliva and its wet fur are considered ritually unclean in Islam, and items that come in contact with either must be ritually cleaned.According to Isma, the netizen, who sent the photographs, argued that such actions necessitated the setting up of laundrettes for Muslims."He also asked if the particular laundrette needs to be subjected to 'samak' (ritual cleaning) once the photographs become viral," Isma added.

The Muslim rights group, which is fighting for the segregation of Muslim-only launderettes, have called those who condemned the Muslim-only policy "hypocrites"

"It is wrong to open a shop for Muslims only. But it is not wrong to bring a dog or a pig into a shop patronised by Muslims? It is not wrong to place a dog in a shopping trolley in a mall?" Isma said, according to a report in The Malaysian Insight.

7-Eleven stores and other major retailers in the country agreed to stop handing out plastic bags to customers from 1 January onwards.

Instead of succumbing to reusable bags, locals came up with other, um... just as effective ways to carry their items.
For instance, some apparently used household buckets when shopping.

The case, initially investigated as a robbery under the Penal Code, has now been reclassified as murder under Section 302, he added. Police had said the attack was not a hate crime but plain robbery.

In a statement today, the provincial head of the Infant Jesus Sisters, Sister Celina Wong confirmed that the 69-year-old passed away at the Tunku Jaafar Hospital Seremban this afternoon. “No words can express what her family members and the Infant Jesus Sisters are feeling at this moment. “We ask for your kind assistance to respect and accord space to the family members and the Infant Jesus Sisters to grieve and to come to terms with the passing of Sister Juliana. “We thank all of you for your concern, prayers and support during this difficult time,” she said.

Meanwhile, MIC President Datuk Seri G. Palanivel described the attack on the two nuns as a heinous act carried out by cowards. “The nuns are two old ladies and to beat them until one of them had gone into a coma is an inhuman act. “I hope the police will find the perpetrators soon and bring them to justice,” he said in a statement here today.

Palanivel advised the public not to overreact or turn the incident into a racial issue. “The police have classified it as robbery and they are still investigating. We will leave it in their good hands to handle the issue as best possible. I pray for the nuns for a speedy recovery,” he said.

69-Year-Old Sister Julianna Lim May Have Irreversible Brain Injury After Vicious Snatch Theft Attack

Sister Julianna Lim may have irreversible brain injury after being attacked with a helmet in the compound of a church here early on Wednesday.

        thestar.com.my

The 69-year-old from the Holy Infant Jesus order based in Kampung Pasir has several blood clots in the head after being repeatedly struck with the helmet at the Church of Visitation here.

        thestar.com.my

Church member P. Mary Josephine, 65, said doctors had conveyed this to church officials as Lim’s condition had not improved since she was wheeled after the attack. “Her pressure was extremely high when she was brought in but has since dropped. Doctors are trying their best to stabilise her but there are no signs of recovery yet,” she said.

The two elderly nuns who were mercilessly attacked with a helmet and robbed in the Church of Visitation compound had only a few ringgit each on them. Sister Julianna Lim, 69, who is fighting for her life after slipping into a coma following the incident just before dawn on Wednesday, had less than RM10 while Sister Marie Rose alias Theresa Teng, 79, had just several ringgit in their small handbags.

Police are investigating yesterday’s attack on two Catholic nuns as a robbery but will also consider other possibilities. Negeri Sembilan police chief Osman Salleh, who said this at press conference today, cautioned the public against speculations that could lead to religious tension.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“We managed to record a statement from Marie Rose and she said that a man wearing a full-faced helmet had struck her first with a helmet. “This prompted Lim to scream, causing the attacker to lunge at her and pound her repeatedly with the helmet,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

“We’ll get a statement from her when she’s ready,” Osman said, referring to Teng. He said police were also keen to interview Lim because she was the second to be attacked and therefore had more time to look at the assailant.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Church member P. Mary Josephine, 65, said Marie Rose gave some details of the attack to church officials. “She said there was a lone attacker who struck her with a helmet while they were walking near the entrance to the church. “She begged the suspect not to harm her as she was old but then he pounced on Lim,” she said.

Father Gregory Chan from the Church of Visitation said caretakers found the nuns sprawled at the entrance to the church when they opened the main gate along Jalan Yam Tuan. “Both were badly bruised and bleeding. We do not know for sure what happened because no eyewitnesses have come forward,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

The caretakers waited for paramedics to arrive before moving the nuns, said Chan. “They attend mass every morning and are well known by the congregation. “We are shocked at this senseless attack,” said a church member, who asked for anonymity.

The Council of Churches of Malaysia (CCM) today expressed shock over the attack on the nuns. “The voices of antagonism and hatred have been on the increase in the country and it would be no surprise if the attack on the nuns were not conspired by those out to cause inter-religious conflict in the country.

“The police must investigate this case of outright religious intimidation and fear creation and bring those responsible to justice,” said CCM general-secretary Reverend Hermen Shastri in a statement.

He said Christians throughout the country will pray for the two sisters, “that God will grant them peace in their hearts and a speedy recovery from their physical trauma”. “May the Lord look down in mercy on those who have caused hurt to the two innocent sisters,” Shastri added.

Friends Of "Overworked" M'sian Auditor Call Out Unhealthy Work Culture After His Death

On 4 October, a netizen announced on Facebook that a "good friend passed away yesterday."
The reason, he explained in his now viral post, is  because the 24-year-old was "overworked."

In Adam Chan's Facebook post, which has garnered close to 4,800 shares at the time of writing, he explained that his friend left the office at 2am and met with an accident while travelling home.According to their mutual friends, the victim worked late despite wanting to go home earlier because "it's the culture in the audit department that no one should leave the office before works are completed and before your senior leaves.""Nobody cares if you are tired, have someone waiting for you to go home, or have any excuses that could delay the work done or affect the overall audit team performance and image," Adam wrote.

Though he himself is not an auditor, Adam expressed hope for the issue of overworking to be taken seriously so that the work culture changes

"Those of you who are in auditing line, please take good care of yourself and make sure you get enough rest, or a little rest if you're too busy," he said.He ended the post by saying, "May you rest in peace my good friend. You'll be missed forever."

Following Adam's post, another friend of the victim also took to Facebook to share her experience as an intern in a major audit firm in Malaysia

In her post, Hoo Xinyi recalls leaving the office at 2am, being surrounded by colleagues too afraid to ask their manager when they could leave or eat dinner, and getting gastritis from eating at irregular times."You can only leave when your boss or seniors leave. Of course, your boss and seniors may have more on their plate and take on longer hours, so young workers like me ended up staying late without any real reason other than as a show of respect," she said.

"I am writing this in honour of my friend who passed away due to being overworked. I am writing this in hopes that the audit culture in Malaysia will change," Xinyi explained.

"Not only the audit culture but also the Asian working culture." she said.Acknowledging that nothing will change unless more people speak out, Xinyi wrote that, "Together we can make a difference."

Did You Know Your Tears Of Joy And Sorrow Look Really Different Under The Microscope?

Photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher captures tears of grief, joy, laughter and irritation in extreme detail. This image shows tears of timeless reunion.

Tears of timeless reunion.
Image via smithsonianmag.com

As part of a new project called “Topography of Tears,” photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher is using microscopes to explore an unexpected view of a very interesting subject: dried human tears.

Over the past several years, Fisher collected human tears - her own and others - that accompany a wide range of feelings, including elation, sorrow, frustration, and rejection.

        neatorama.com

Photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher

She's even got tears from chopping onions and those of a newborn.

        smithsonianmag.com

She put dried tears from all different kinds of situations under the microscope to see what's different between them all. Speaking about the project, Fisher says:

“I started the project about five years ago, during a period of copious tears, amid lots of change and loss—so I had a surplus of raw material,” Fisher says.

        gizmodo.com

Fisher said to Joseph Stromberg of The Smithsonian's Collage of Arts and Sciences blog. After realizing that "everything we see in our lives is just the tip of the iceberg," visually speaking, she wondered what a tear looked like up close.

        neatorama.com

Here's what tears of grief look like!
Image via gawkerassets.com

"It was really interesting. It looked like an aerial view, almost as if I was looking down at a landscape from a plane. Eventually, I started wondering - would a tear of grief look any different than a tear of joy? And how would they compare to, say, an onion tear?"

        smithsonianmag.com

This idle musing ended up launching a multi-year photography project in which Fisher collected, examined and photographed more than 100 tears from both herself an a handful of other volunteers, including a newborn baby.

        gizmodo.com

Scientifically, tears are divided into three different types, based on their origin

Psychic tears (happiness, sadness) are caused by extreme emotions. Basal tears are made to keep the cornea lubricated. Reflex tears (onions, tear gas) come out in response to something else.

        gizmodo.com

Here's what tears of laughing look like.
Image via neatorama.com

All tears are mainly composed of water and salts, with accompanying biological substances like antibodies and antibacterial enzymes. And according to studies, the composition of emotional or psychic tears are different than those caused by eye irritants. For example, emotional tears have more protein-based hormones.

        neatorama.com

There are tears of ending and beginning

Image via rose-lynnfisher.com

But how do tears of joy and tears of sorrow, which come from the same place, end up looking different?

Because of circumstance. As any chemist would tell you, the crystallization of salt is highly dependent on a variety of factors.

        gizmodo.com

And these are Basal tears.
Image via neatorama.com

So keep in mind that the same emotional tears may crystallize into vastly different shapes and formations under slightly different circumstances.  Regardless, that does not diminish our joy in viewing Fisher's remarkable micrographs.

Android malware could hit 1 million mark in 2013

Form Four Student Of SMK Dang Anum Picks Trash To Help Cancer Survivors

Meet Shalini, a form four student of SMK Dang Anum. Aged 16 and a resident of Malacca, each day after school, she spends an hour collecting recyclables such as aluminium cans from garbage bins and sells them to use the money to help cancer survivors.

Image via The Star Online

According to The Star Online, by selling recyclable items picked up from the garbage cans, Shalini has become a constant donor to charitable organisations since 2011, donating RM50 to RM70 each month. It's a dirty job but she doesn't mind doing it for charity.

National Cancer Society of Malaysia’s project manager Miki Chua declared Shalini as the youngest donor who contributed regularly over the past two years. "Fifty ringgit may sound negligible but it’s significant for NCSM as it is used to carry out outreach programmes for cancer survivors in the country," Chua said yesterday.She said not many teenagers, much less adults, would be willing to rummage through garbage bins for the sake of charity. "Shalini has been contributing RM50 a month to NCSM without fail since 2013. Previously, she was donating to several other organisations for the disabled before signing up as an NCSM donor," she added.

        thestar.com.my

Speaking to The Star, Shalini said she feels absolutely no shame in doing it, even it it is at crowded areas. She considers it a noble act.

“People sometimes gawk at a schoolgirl digging through rubbish but I would just ignore them and collect any item that could be turned into money. The only time I go around rummaging garbage bins in public areas is when the collection from the school grounds is insufficient to generate the RM50 for a particular month,” she said.

        thestar.com.my

Speaking about the inspiration behind the idea of using recyclables to help charities, Shalini said that it came from her late grandfather.

“He used to do the same to help estate workers who were facing financial constraints. At that time, neighbours would come and ask grandpa for monetary help, and the cash from trash was used to help them,” Shalini said.She now has a corner outside her house where she stores the collected items before the dealers come to take them away. “If the sum is lower than RM50, my parents would top up the amount,” said Shalini.

        asiaone.com

She is eager to encourage her classmates to join her in doing good

“I guess my idea could work out as being environmentally conscious and has gained grounds among students over the years, and now they could do good with recyclables,” she added.Shalini plans to set up a non-profit organisation to scale things up to encourage fellow students as well as to help keep the school clean.

        thestar.com.my

Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced today, 7 May, that private car owners can now have their rear and passenger windows fully tinted black

New Straits Times reported that the Road Transport Department (RTD) will now allow private vehicles to have zero visible light transmission (VLT) on its rear side and rear windshield windows."There have been so many requests since I took office as minister to review the current regulations for vehicle window tinting."After many discussions and meetings, we have decided that private car owners would now be able to decide the tint level for their vehicles as now there is no limitation," Loke said, adding that the directive will also apply to e-hailing vehicles. Previously, it had to allow 30% visible light through.

However, front windshields and front side windows still retain their limitations, which should allow 70% and 50% VLT respectively

Loke explained that private vehicle owners can apply with RTD to have darker tints fitted for the front windshield and windows.A fee of RM50 will be charged for application of these permits. Upon approval of the permit, vehicle owners will need to pay RM5,000 every two years, though no charges will be imposed upon approvals based on health reasons.

Image via New Straits Times

The committee that approves such applications will be chaired by RTD director-general Datuk Seri Shaharuddin Khalid."Once the application is received, it will have to go through a strict vetting process by police for criminal records and pending summonses. If the applicants have any criminal record, the application will be rejected, while summonses must be cleared before approval is given," Loke explained.

The new regulation comes into effect tomorrow, 8 May

According to The Star, however, RTD enforcement officers will only begin checks on vehicles under the new regulations in August.Failure to comply with the regulations will result in a RM300 fine.

Malaysian Photographer's Nature Shots Of Sabah & Sarawak Look Like Paintings On Postcards

We recently stumbled upon a Lawas-based photographer's nature shots of Sabah and Sarawak and they're absolutely breathtaking!

Lim Lee has been a professional photographer for more than a decade now and some of his best work feature beautiful, untouched areas in Sabah and Sarawak. Think: fishing villages, mountainous terrains, paddy fields, and sandy beaches. Here's a list of some of our favourite photos by him, of places like Kota Belud, Bohey Dulang, Lawas, and Punang, among others:

Kota Belud, Sabah - Sprawling hills, vast green paddy fields, and crystal clear rivers

The picturesque town of Kota Belud is located about 70 kilometres from the bustling capital city of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu. Often described as the cultural melting pot of the Bajau, Kadazan-Dusun, and the Iranun communities, Kota Belud is the perfect stopover if you're heading to Mañana beach, Mantanani or Kudat. While the town's Sunday tamu - a weekly market offering everything from local delicacies, leafy green vegetables, and unique handicrafts - is usually the most talked about aspect of Kota Belud, Lim's photos let you take a peek into the the scenic, quaint villages in Kota Belud, including Kampung Sangkir and Kampung Tambatuon.

The exotic, dazzling blue waters of Bohey Dulang, Maiga, and Bodgaya Islands

The islands of Sabah need no introduction. The state is blessed with some of the most idyllic and beautiful islands in the world that are absolutely perfect for dreamy vacations.Lim's photos feature one of the most iconic shots of the Bohey Dulang Island - the view from the peak of the island - among other gorgeous photos of the other islands in the vicinity.

Batu Luang Beach - A slice of heaven, nestled in Kuala Penyu town

The gorgeous beach is located about two hours away from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, and is said to be one of the best sunset viewing spots in Sabah. The most unique thing about this beach is the bright green algae that grows on the tiny rocks by the beach, which can only be seen during low tides. Lim has beautifully captured the algae formation, bathed in the orange glow of the sunset at the Batu Luang beach.

Punang Village - An idyllic fishing village about 12km from Lawas town in Sarawak

Kampung Punang is the perfect place for anyone seeking for a unique vacation off the beaten path. It's a quiet fishing village, with friendly locals and beautiful sunsets. Lim's photos speak for themselves.

Lawas, Sarawak - Beautifully designed buildings, postcard-worthy skylines, and waterfalls

Located in the northeastern corner of Sarawak, Lawas is a small town that's rich in natural beauty and has lush flora and fauna. Take a little peek into what Lawas offers, through Lim's lens.

Finland Is In Trouble And The Finnish Prime Minister Puts Blame On Apple For Everything

According to Alexander Stubb, the Finnish prime minister, Apple is responsible for bringing down two of Finland's biggest economic exports — Nokia and paper

Image via cnbc.com

Finland lost its AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor’s last week, thanks to the “loss of global market share in the key information technology sector [and] structural retrenchment of the important forestry sector,” according to S&P. Today, Finnish prime minister Alexander Stubb laid the blame for the decline of its tech and paper industries at the feet of one company: Apple.

        qz.com

He said that "the iPhone killed Nokia and the iPad killed the paper industry, but we'll make a comeback"

Image via qz.com

“We have two champions which went down,” Stubb told CNBC. “I guess one could say that the iPhone killed Nokia and the iPad killed the Finnish paper industry, but we’ll make a comeback.”

        cnbc.com

It’s not the first time that he’s set up Apple as the shorthand scapegoat for the country’s problems — Stubb made similar, pithy comments back in July when he said that “Steve Jobs took our jobs.”

        techcrunch.com

Before the debut of the iPhone in 2007, Nokia was worth USD150 billion, accounting for a quarter of Finland's economic growth from 1998 to 2007 as well as paying a fifth of all corporation tax in the country, according to qz.com

But since the advent of the touchscreen smartphone, Nokia’s shares steadily lost three-quarters of their value before Microsoft swooped and bought the company’s mobile phone business for $7 billion last year. What’s left of the old Nokia now focuses on telecoms network equipment, an industry that isn’t exactly in rude health.

        qz.com

And the outlook for Finland's paper companies is not great either

Shares of Stora Enso have shed nearly half of their value over the past five years. It might be a stretch to blame the iPad for the decline of books, magazines, and newspapers across the world, but people are definitely consuming more digital content on devices by Apple and its competitors—including Stubb himself:

        qz.com

Could someone send me a link to the @BBCHARDtalk interview? One that works on an iPad in Finland. Much appreciated.— Alexander Stubb (@alexstubb) October 9, 2014

However, the Prime Minister is positive on Finland's future

Image via wordpress.com

“Forest is coming back in terms of bio energy and other things,” he told CNBC.

        qz.com

“And actually a new Nokia has emerged. Usually what happens is that when you have dire times you get a lot of innovation and I think from the public sector our job is to create the platform for it.”

        cnbc.com

Coming back to his initial comments, while coming up with a decent soundbite is not an uncommon goal for politicians and their spin doctors, citing Apple for past problems is lame and weak-looking

Android, and Android handset makers like Samsung, were by far the bigger threat to Nokia’s dominant position as the world’s biggest handset maker. Samsung eventually overtook Nokia for pole position in 2012.

        techcrunch.com

Moreover, Apple has actually been paying Nokia money for years now, under IP licensing agreements. The exact amount of those payments has never been disclosed, but in 2013, when Nokia was still a single company, its then-CEO Stephen Elop said that the company would make more than $650 million in patent licensing deals that year from the likes of Apple and others.
