Meet Anil Polat, a blogger and computer security engineer. Polat, in his own words, is on a journey to visit every country in the world.

Using the power of crowd-sourcing, Polat has gathered the names of networks and passwords along with the location of Wi-Fi hubs from airports and lounges around the world. He used all this info to create an interactive map, and he updates the map regularly.

Yep, the above map you see, called WiFox map, will help easily find Wi-Fi passwords of major hubs from around the world. For example:

Not just that, the map, shareable on Google Maps, also includes tips on which airline lounges/bars/restaurants are providing free Wi-Fi

Tips such as where you should sit at airports to get the best signal, etc are included.And if you're thinking the map provides information about how to get those free 15 minutes of Wi-Fi access by watching an ad or video, you would be absolutely wrong.Polat's map contains log-on information for the lesser-used Wi-Fi in places like restaurants, bars, and lounges in airports around the world.

In addition to the map, Polat has created an app for it

Called WiFox, it's available for iOs, Android and Amazon.The app, which is available offline, however, is not free, like the interactive map.

Thank you for making waiting at airports non-boring, Polat!

Kelantan Palace Has Revoked The 'Darjah Kerabat Al-Yunusi' Title Awarded To Dr M

Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been stripped off the 'Darjah Kerabat Al-Yunusi' title that was awarded to him in 2002 by then Sultan Ismail Petra of Kelantan for his "immense contribution to the country"

According to reports, Dr Mahathir received a letter from the Kelantan Palace on Tuesday requesting that he return the title

NST Online reported that the former prime minister received the letter at his residence on 6 February and is in the process of returning the award to Kelantan.However, the reason for the revocation of the title, which was only given to 25 recipients and mainly to royalties, is not known.

The 'Darjah Kerabat Al-Yunusi' is the highest award in the state

According to one Kelantan government official., the revocation of Dr Mahathir's title is seen as a rejection of Pakatan Harapan by the Kelantan Palace.However, netizens on Facebook rallied behind the elderly statesman in a massive show of support and has attacked the Royals of the Kelantan state."Millions of Malaysians are behind you. TUN M, it’s ok pingat (medals) all no use. Most important you have millions of Malaysians behind you. God Bless you always," one commentator posted on Facebook following the news of the revocation.

While it's no secret that relations between the former prime minister and the royal houses have never been perfect, the revocation of the title right on the foothills of the 14 General Elections sends a strong signal to the public as to whom the Kelantan Palace stands with

Last December, Dr Mahathir had also returned his awards received between 1978 and 2003 to the Selangor palace after he was criticised by the Selangor Ruler, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, over remarks he made about "Bugis pirates".

The travel companies we deal with usually handle ticket management and visa applications. Those unfamiliar with the process might blame the travel agents but the reality is we too have been scammed," he claimed.

Perayaan Tahun Baru Cina bakal diraikan selama 15 hari dan akan ditutup dengan Perayaan Chap Goh Mei. Ia dikenali sebagai Hari Kekasih, versi masyarakat Cina. Tambahan lagi, untuk kalendar masyarakat Cina, ia terbahagi kepada kitaran dua belas tahun dan dua belas haiwan yang terdapat dalam kalendar lunar adalah tikus, lembu, harimau, arnab, naga, ular, kuda, kambing, monyet, ayam, anjing dan khinzir.Setiap haiwan membawa erti tersendiri.

Untuk tahun 2020, perayaan Tahun Baru Cina telah jatuh pada tahun tikus.

Mengikut kepercayaan masyarakat Cina, hari pertama untuk tahun baru melambangkan titik permulaan nasib yang baru dalam kehidupan

Image via Harian Metro

Sebab itulah perayaan ini diraikan dengan penuh adat resam serta mengikut kepercayaan dan pantang larang yang diamalkan oleh nenek moyang sejak turun-temurun.

Berikut merupakan beberapa perkara dan sebab di sebalik penyediaan bagi sambutan perayaan Tahun Baru Cina yang mungkin ramai tidak tahu:

1. Sibuk mengemas dan membersihkan rumah

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Google

Jika anda perasan, menjelang Tahun Baru Cina, masyarakat Cina akan mula sibuk membersih dan mengemas rumah. Semua tingkap, lantai, malah setiap penjuru rumah akan disapu, dicuci dan disental sehingga benar-benar bersih. Ia untuk mengeluarkan segala kekotoran dan habuk.Kain langsir akan ditukar baru selepas rumah sudah dibersihkan. Mengikut kepercayaan masyarakat Cina, ia dilakukan bagi membuang semua nasib malang dan bersedia untuk menyambut nasib yang baik. Malah, penyapu juga akan disorok daripada pandangan mata supaya nasib yang baik akan tiba dan tidak disapu keluar dari rumah.Bukan itu sahaja, mencuci rambut juga dielakkan pada hari pertama tahun baru kerana ia membawa maksud mencuci segala nasib baik yang bakal diterima pada hari itu.

2. Segala hutang akan dilangsaikan terlebih dahulu

Image via Google

Jika seseorang itu mempunyai hutang dengan orang lain, ia perlu dilangsaikan sebelum masuk hari pertama Tahun Baru Cina. Ini kerana supaya seseorang itu tidak dikelilingi hutang sepanjang tahun baru.Selain itu, bekas menyimpan beras akan diisi dengan penuh dan kertas merah yang tercetak aksara "满" dalam bahasa Mandarin yang membawa maksud penuh akan ditampal di hadapan bekas menyimpan beras tersebut. Maksudnya, rezeki yang tidak akan terputus sepanjang tahun.

3. Setiap perhiasan membawa maksud tersendiri

Image via Ilmu Sunnah

Perhiasan:Perhiasan dikatakan boleh membawa keberkatan jika dipasang beberapa hari sebelum menjelangnya Tahun Baru Cina. Selain dua biji tanglung merah, kain riben merah, hiasan seni guntingan kertas mengikut bentuk perkataan yang membawa tuah dan keberkatan juga dilekat pada dinding dalam rumah.Selain itu, kertas perhiasan berwarna merah yang disaluti dengan warna emas dengan cetakan aksara "福" dalam bahasa Mandarin bermaksud tuah dipamerkan di sekitar rumah dan pintu besar.Pokok-pokok:Pokok limau dipercayai akan mendatangkan lebih banyak keuntungan, rezeki dan kekayaan melimpah-ruah. Dalam bahasa Kantonis, pokok limau dipanggil 'kam' yang membawa maksud emas dan simbol kekayaan dan keuntungan. Manakala nenas turut membawa unsur positif dan dipanggil 'wong lai' yang bermaksud 'ong lai' atau tuah.Bunga-bungaan:Bunga teratai dan kekwa merah dan kuning membawa simbolik harapan, aman damai dan ketenangan. Ianya sering menjadi pilihan masyarakat Cina.

4. Berkumpul sesama keluarga pada malam tahun baru

Image via visakhoinguyen.com

Malam sebelum Tahun Baru Cina merupakan malam yang jauh lebih penting berbanding hari pertama perayaan itu. Malam tersebut diluangkan untuk mengeratkan hubungan sesama ahli keluarga yang sekian lama tidak berjumpa. Kepercayaan masyarakat Cina mengatakan pada acara makan malam besar, semua perkara tidak baik akan berakhir.Malah, dengan berbuat demikian, anak-anak akan mendapat pahala dan usia ibu bapa juga akan dipanjangkan oleh Tuhan kerana ketaatan anak-anak. Baju merah akan dipakai untuk menghalau roh jahat serta membawa keberkatan dan kesejahteraan.Selain itu, memakai pakaian baru juga merupakan simbolik permulaan hidup baru dengan penuh harapan.

5. Setiap hidangan makan besar mempunyai maksud tersendiri

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via flickr.com

Hidangan makan besar merupakan simbolik masyarakat Cina. Setiap hidangan akan dihidangkan mewakili harapan dan keinginan yang ingin dikecapi pada tahun baru. Sebab itulah setiap makanan membawa maksud positif serta penuh dengan kebaikan. Contohnya:Yee Sang:Hidangan wajib adalah Yee Sang. Ia melambangkan simbol kemewahan, penyatuan dan kemurahan rezeki yang bakal diperoleh sepanjang tahun. Dalam Kantonis, 'Yee' bermaksud ikan yang turut membawa pengertian kekayaan yang berkekalan dan 'Sang' merujuk kepada mentah, hidup dan kebangkitan. Lou hei bermakna menggaul naik. Perkataan lou sang dan lou hei aaa... dalam bahasa Kantonis akan disebut dengan suara yang tinggi dan berulang kali dengan harapan ia dapat memberi kesihatan baik, kemakmuran dan kemewahan hidup yang lebih baik. Semakin tinggi yee sang itu digaul dan diangkat tinggi, maka kesihatan akan menjadi semakin baik. Kemakmuran dan kemewahan juga akan dikecapi pada tahun tersebut.Ikan/Yue:Hidangan ini membawa maksud lebihan bekalan yang masih tinggal di hujung tahun juga mesti disediakan. Masyarakat Cina percaya jika ada lebihan begini, pada tahun yang berikutnya lebihan itu boleh bertambah banyak.Daun udang/Chung:Hidangan ini membawa maksud kebijaksanaan dan saderi atau sai kan membawa maksud kerajinan. Sajian kuih bakul yang juga dikenali sebagai kuih tahunan atau nin koh dalam bahasa Kantonis memberi simbolik kepada pencapaian pada tahap yang cemerlang pada tahun yang mendatang.

6. Mercun dibakar tanda mulanya tahun baru dan bertujuan untuk menghalau puaka dan nasib malang

Bunyi mercun kuat yang akan membingitkan telinga dipercayai akan menghalau segala nasib malang, menolak bala serta mengusir puaka keluar dari kawasan rumah. Selepas selesainya pembakaran mercun, segala tuah dan peristiwa ria akan datang melimpah-ruah.

Akhir sekali, team SAYS Seismik mengucapkan Selamat Tahun Baru Cina bagi mereka yang menyambut. Semoga dimurahkan rezeki serta berada dalam kesejahteraan. :D

"ISIS Is Systematically Beheading Children And Raping And Killing The Mothers And Fathers"

"Christianity in Mosul is dead, and a Christian holocaust is in our midst," said Mark Arabo, a Californian businessman and a national representative for the Chaldean, or Christian Iraqi, community, in an interview with CNN's Jonathan Mann

Image via gospelherald.com

Mark Arabo called what's happening in Iraq a "Christian genocide" and said "children are being beheaded, mothers are being raped and killed, and fathers are being hung."

        cnsnews.com

"Right now, three thousand Christians are in Iraq fleeing to neighboring cities," he told Mann. Arabo is calling on the international community to follow France's lead and offer the Christians of Iraq asylum.

        voiceofsandiego.org

"You're startling me with the severity of what you're describing," the CNN host said. "You said they are beheading children?"

Image via ytimg.com

"They are systematically beheading children," Arabo repeated slowly. "And mothers and fathers. The world hasn't seen an evil like this for generations."

        cnsnews.com

"There's actually a park in Mosul where they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick... this is crimes against humanity. They are doing the most horrendous, the most heart-breaking crimes that you can think of."

        msn.com

Mann asked about the ISIS letter sent to Christians in Mosul, demanding that they either convert to Islam, pay a fine or be put to "death by the sword"

"It's very clear they are killing people, but are Christians managing to escape by paying a fine?" he asked. Arabo reports that after Christians pay the fine, the fighters take the Christian wives and children "and make them their wives - so it's really convert, or die."

        voiceofsandiego.org

Arabo told CNN that ISIS thugs "are absolutely killing every Christian they see"

Image via examiner.com

"This is absolutely a genocide in every sense of the word. They want everyone to convert, and they want sharia law to be the law of the land."

        msn.com

CNSNews.com notes that a "quick scan of YouTube shows the truth of what Arabo is saying — there are gruesome videos of heads on spikes, and many of live beheadings"

A quick scan of Youtube shows the truth of what Arabo is saying - there are gruesome videos of heads on spikes, and many of live beheadings (one poor Christian is forced to say the Shahada 'there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet' and then beheaded anyway.)

        cnsnews.com

This tweet, reported by CNSNews.com, shows Yazidi children who escaped the fighters by fleeing to the mountains, but have died from lack of food and water there:

Image via @curdistani via Twitter

According to Arabo, around 95 percent of Christians have fled the city, while an estimated five percent have converted to Islam

He also said ISIS militants have placed so-called "death stamps" on Christian homes, ensuring that whoever returns is murdered. Refugees in another part of Iraq have fled to the mountains, but to no avail. According to reports, ISIS militants have surrounded them and are now waiting for them to die of starvation and exposure.

20 Brands And Franchises You Probably Didn't Know Were Owned By Vincent Tan

A man equally well-known for his business acumen and ownership of multiple football clubs, Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan is one of the Top 50 richest men in Malaysia with a reported net worth of USD820 million (RM3.2 billion)

Image via The Malaysian Reserve

Hailing from Batu Pahat, Johor and the son of a lorry driver, Tan once revealed that he only studied up to Form Five. That didn't stop him from becoming the youngest agency manager for AIA Insurance at the age of 21 and later, the founder of business conglomerate Berjaya Corporation Berhad.

Berjaya Corporation Berhad, of which Tan is also serving as executive chairman in, has various business interests in Malaysia as well as overseas, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, UK, China, Japan, and South Korea

Commonly referred to as Berjaya Group, the corporation manages, operates, and/or has investments in franchises and businesses across several sectors - retail, food and beverage, hospitality, property development, financial services, gaming and lottery management, motor trading, clean technology, as well as telecommunications and IT-related solutions. The business magnate is also credited for bringing the McDonald's franchise into Malaysia in the 1980s, and has since introduced several other well-known F&B franchises in Malaysia. He also used to own Digi and Prudential before selling them off to build Berjaya Times Square during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis.

Aside from assets under Berjaya Group, the billionaire tycoon is also involved in private businesses. Here are some locally well-known brands and entities that you probably didn't know were owned by Vincent Tan:

1. Berjaya Hotels and Resorts

Image via Berjaya Hotel

The Berjaya chain of hotels and resorts have outposts at Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur, the Johor Bahru waterfront, Penang, Pulau Langkawi, Pulau Tioman, as well as Colombo, Sri Lanka and Eden Park, London. The group's Berjaya Land subsidiary also manage and operate several other property and leisure assets in Malaysia, such as Redang Island Resorts, Colmar Tropicale @ Bukit Tinggi, Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort, as well as Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Resort.

2. Berjaya Times Square

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Berjaya Times Square is way more than just a shopping mall. Aside from 700 retail outlets and an IT centre, the mall also houses Malaysia's largest indoor theme park with 13 major rides and thematic attractions.In addition to the shopping mall, the complex is also occupied by service suites and hotels, offices, as well as basement and multi-level carparks.

3. Sports Toto

Sports Toto Malaysia began in 1969 when it was incorporated to run the Toto betting business in Malaysia as part of the Government's efforts to raise funds to promote and develop sports, youth and cultural activities. The company was privatised in 1985, increasing its revenue from RM76 million to RM3.57 billion in 2009. Today, there are about 680 Sports Toto outlets operating throughout Malaysia.

4. Cosway

Cosway began in 1979 as a multi-level marketing (MLM) company before it was acquired by Berjaya Group in 1994. The retail chain currently markets more than 1,000 consumer products comprising health and nutritional supplements, personal care products, water filtration systems, cosmetics and fragrances, skincare, body shaping lingerie, home and car care and food and beverages under its own in-house brands.Berjaya Group also manages and operates Wisma Cosway in Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur.

5. Kenny Rogers Roasters

Berjaya Group actually owns the worldwide franchise for Kenny Rogers Roasters after fully acquiring the brand in 2008. By then, the restaurant chain was nearing its end in the US and now operates principally in Asia. The chain is currently present at 83 locations across Malaysia.

6. Starbucks franchise in Malaysia

Starbucks first entered the Malaysian market in Kuala Lumpur on 17 December 1998, and has since grown to nearly 250 outlets across the country, including Sabah and Sarawak. Now into its 16th year of operation, Starbucks has grown to not only become the favourite coffee place for Malaysians, but also a productive member of communities across the country.

7. Wendy's franchise in Malaysia

Operated by Berjaya Burger Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary under Berjaya Group, Wendy's first landed in Malaysia on 5 April 2008 with its first outlet in Sunway Pyramid. The fast food chain has since expanded to 13 other stores across Klang Valley, Penang, Pahang, Johor, and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Penang Councillor Appalled With Food Served At Quarantine Hotel

A Penang Island City Council (MBPP) councillor has cried foul over poorly-prepared meals served to Malaysians returning from overseas at some quarantine hotels

The councillor, Nicholas Theng, took to Facebook yesterday, 31 August, to highlight the issue after receiving several photos from a friend who is currently being quarantined at a local hotel on the island.He said the food being served to her was "borderline atrocious"."I am truly saddened and angry to find out on our National Day today of how appalling the food served at quarantine centres in Penang are," he wrote.

Image via Nicholas Theng (Facebook)

Based on the pictures, he claimed the meals were unsatisfactory and did not meet a person's daily nutritional values

He said there were times that his friend was served fish curry with only the fish head and chicken curry with just tiny strips of meat in it."Each person in quarantine is served three meals a day, with a combination of one soup, one type of vegetable, one type of meat, one fruit, and white rice. However, it is clearly shown that the meat is naught but bone," he said."To make things worse, vegetarians are served just spring rolls, vegetable soup, and white rice for some meals.""Such a meal does not even qualify for the minimum nutritional value to be considered proper. How is this considered even remotely acceptable by our Ministry of Health (MOH)?"

Image via Nicholas Theng (Facebook)

Theng said these meals were unacceptable especially considering that those under quarantine had to bear half the cost of the 14-day stay in a hotel, which totalled RM2,100 per person

"The rakyat are paying RM2,100 for 14 days, it is the Federal's responsibility to ensure that the three meals served are not just bones, soup, and curry," he continued."That is equivalent to RM150 a day, more than enough to cover the cost of a proper meal!"He added that these meals were substandard compared to the meals being given in Kuala Lumpur, despite paying the same amount."Is the government trying to bully the Penang people because we are an opposition state?" he questioned."They should not be forced to suffer like this just because someone somewhere is making easy money."

Image via Nicholas Theng (Facebook)

He then urged the MOH to look into the matter urgently and take action where it is due

"Food, shelter, and clothing are the basic needs of a human being," he said, adding that the poor meals could amount to "both physical and mental torture" to the people in quarantine who have no other options but to consume the food that is served to them.

Last month, a woman shared how the poorly-prepared meals she received in a quarantine hotel made her burst into tears:

                M'sian Returnees Cry Foul Over Subang Hotel's Terrible Food & Living Conditions

Despite the bad service, all persons under surveillance (PUS) have to pay RM2,100 to undergo the mandatory 14-day qua...

Malays Are Left Behind Because We Always Try To Find The Easy Way Out, Says Dr M

Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Pakatan Harapan's candidate for the Prime Minister, in his Vision 2020 forum in Cyberjaya on Friday, 12 December, had some tough words to share about the Malay culture

Speaking at the Forum, the former Prime Minister expressed sadness over the Malay culture that he said had become a major stumbling block in Malaysia's journey to be a developed country by 2020, which was his vision for the country as part of the Malaysian ideal he introduced during the tabling of the Sixth Malaysia Plan in 1991.

Saying that while Malays are as capable as the Europeans and the Japanese, he said that it's the Malay culture that remains a problem

"We the Malays can achieve success with our capability but we are found to be not so hardworking and sometimes not so trustworthy."We do not want to do complicated work. We always try to find the easy way out, that is why we are left behind. We like it when there is less work despite a high pay."It is not because we cannot (carry out duties) but because we do not want to, that is the problem," Dr Mahathir said while adding that it shows how we lack commitment.

Dr Mahathir speaking during his Vision 2020 Forum.
Image via MOHD FADLI HAMZAH/NST

Comparing the Malays and the Japanese, he said the Japanese took pride in their work and had a "strong sense of shame"

In Comparision, among the Malays, there is less sense of shame, Dr Mahathir said, while adding that Malays should heed lessons from the situation in Japan in 1961.It was the time when the Japanese worked hard to rebuild their nation."They were paid just with fistfuls of rice and soy sauce at the time, and they were able to make Japan great again after the country was ruined in war. It's in their culture to work hard and produce great results for others to admire," Dr Mahathir said during his speech at the Forum, as reported by The Malaysian Insight.He also said that even if Malays do bad work, it is okay (for us).But the same is not true for Japanese, who would be ashamed to go home if they did less work and were less productive than their peers, he added.

Dua Bulan Tak Balik Rumah, Lelaki Ini
'Terima Kejutan' Bila Tengok Peti Ais Penuh Ulat

Pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang lalu sememangnya telah membataskan pergerakan orang ramai

Image via Utusan Borneo

Susulan daripada PKP yang lalu, setiap individu tidak dibenar untuk keluar daripada rumah mereka tanpa alasan yang munasabah malah pergerakan juga tidak boleh melebihi radius 10 kilometer.Dengan erti kata lain, di mana mereka berada sebelum PKP dilaksanakan, di situlah mereka perlu tinggal sehingga mendapat kebenaran daripada pihak berkuasa.Justeru, tempoh tersebut mungkin telah menyebabkan berlakunya pelbagai masalah terhadap rumah yang 'ditinggalkan'. Ketika ini, konsep tawakal sahajalah yang perlu diterapkan dalam diri kita.

Begitulah yang berlaku terhadap seorang individu selepas dia pulang ke rumahnya baru-baru ini

Menerusi satu perkongsian yang dibuat pengguna Twitter menggunakan nama adib_ozil ini, dia terkejut apabila melihat kondisi peti sejuk rumahnya yang dipenuhi ulat selepas dua bulan tidak pulang ke rumah.

2 bulan tak balik rumah, balik rumah perasan suis letrik utama rumah off. Barangkali kene tendang masa kilat. Hasilnya peti ais rumah ..  pic.twitter.com/vSbvTiB75m— Kinsey :) (@adib_ozil) May 4, 2020

Kata lelaki ini, dia perasan bahawa suis elektrik utama rumah sudah dimatikan dan ia mungkin ‘tertendang’ disebabkan kilat.Sejak ia dimuatnaik, perkongsian tersebut telah mendapat lebih 3.5 ribu retweets dengan hampir 3 ribu tanda suka.

Apa yang lebih melucukan, teman serumahnya pula sempat berjenaka dengan menyatakan bahawa pakaian PPE seperti frontliner perlu dipakai bagi mencuci peti sejuk tersebut

Housemate aku: “Ni nanti nak bersihkan kene pakai full PPE mcm frontliner ni” Korang bersihkan lah. Aku nak pindah rumah.— Kinsey :) (@adib_ozil) May 4, 2020

Susulan daripada tweet itu, ramai dalam kalangan netizen 'tidak melepaskan peluang' memberikan tips kepada individu ini bagi mencuci peti sejuk tersebut

Kalau kes mcam ni senang je nak hilangkan bau dia. First cuci dngan detol, jemur tengah panas tapi make sure letak sengkuang dalam tu, lepastu letak roti banyak banyak dalam tu bagi bau hilang, lepastu buang fridge tu beli fridge baru. Member dah try dulu alhamdulillah bau hilang—   (@Ddion_Mustafah) May 5, 2020

Cuma berkongsi, cara utk hilangkan bau busuk dan geli cuma perlu letakkan arang lalu bakar lah ia dan campak ke laut semoga jasadnya tenang — peanut butter and jelly (@buttrisyia) May 5, 2020

at least if nk tnggu lepas raya untuk bersihkan rasanya better yg dlm peti ais makanan yg dh rosak tu buang dulu kalau tk boleh ternak alien pulak — Ahmad hunain (@Hunain_) May 4, 2020

Ya Allah faham sgt feeling ni sebab 2 minggu balik kampung masa raya 2 tahun lepas mcm gini jugak (suspek husband tutup pintu tk ketat) Macam2 bau ya. Mcm nk mampuhh bersihkan peti ais. Letak kopi nk bagi hilang bau. Letak roti pun ya. Tu 2 minggu tu, awak 2 bulan— SitiSab (@Siti_Sab) May 4, 2020

Nanti dah bersih, lap guna essen vanilla.. Pun boleh hilang bau..— seorang hamba (@hayyin_layyin20) May 5, 2020

Kalau nak bunuh ulat tu kena siram dgn air panas. Nanti bau pun hilang sekali.— Morgana (@NAHasim26) May 5, 2020

Alahai, nak kemas satu hal, bau tu yang kena tahan lebih sikit. Tak apalah, anggap sahajalah dugaan bulan puasa kan?

Income for families in [People's Housing Projects] PPRs are also affected. To continue helping them, all renters of affordable housing by [Kuala Lumpur City Hall] DBKL, [Putrajaya Corporation] PPj, [Labuan Corporation] PL, and renters of business premises will be given a discount of 50% from January to March 2021."The FT Minister also made the photo his new profile picture on Twitter.

Sungguhpun PKP kali ini,peniaga boleh berniaga,kita tahu perniagaan mereka cukup terjejas.Pendapatan keluarga di PPR turut menerima kesan.Demi terus membantu mereka,kesemua penyewa rumah murah dbkl,ppj,PL dan penyewa premis niaga DI BERIKAN DISKAUN 50% ,Januari hingga Mac 2021 pic.twitter.com/ll0FHhwnVK— Annuar Musa (@AnnuarMusa) January 30, 2021

The Federal Territories, that are Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan, are currently under the Movement Control Order (MCO) 2.0

The MCO 2.0, that was enforced earlier in January, has been extended until 4 February based on the risk assessment and advice of the Ministry of Health after the continued increase in the daily COVID-19 cases.

Under the MCO 2.0 rules, activities such as dining-in are not allowed

Given that, the photo showing the FT Minister sitting inside the restaurant has prompted questions from netizens about dining-in amidst the current movement control guidelines.However, the photo appears to be from December 2020, before MCO 2.0 was enforced.

A reverse image search on Google performed by SAYS shows that this photo, while posted today, is from 13 December last year

However,  scrolling through his Twitter handle shows that he had originally posted the photo along with several others in November last year

Here's A Beginner's Guide On How You Can Enjoy Whisky Like A Pro

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

Whisky may be a complex beverage, but it's not difficult to get  the concept behind it

The popular spirit can be enjoyed in many different forms, thanks to its versatility and layered flavours. Whether you're a whisky enthusiast or just starting your journey into the world of this noble spirit, learning how to drink whisky like a pro can elevate your enjoyment and deepen your appreciation.Psstt... If you're looking to discover your own whisky profile, Johnnie Walker has an upcoming event that lets you try complimentary whisky cocktails, while enjoying good music. Plus, there'll even be a workshop to discover your own highball blend. More details at the end of the story!

Here's how to enjoy whisky like a pro:

1. First things first, learn about the different types of whisky

Image via Mark Littler

Like every other alcohol, there are different types of whisky with distinct flavours and aromas. Understanding the flavours, origins, and traditions can help you enjoy the spirit better. Here's a look at some of the popular ones: - Scotch whisky: Produced in Scotland, Scotch whisky is made from malted barley or grain with the spirit aged in oak casks for three years. There are also different kinds of Scotch whisky, such as Single Malt Scotch (made from malted barley in a single distillery), Blended Scotch (a mix of malt and grain whiskies), and Blended Malt Scotch (a blend of malt whiskies from different distilleries).- Irish whisky: Distilled in Ireland, Irish whisky is typically triple-distilled and made from a mix of malted and unmalted barley. Unlike Scotch, any malted cereal grains can be used in any proportion. This Irish spirit is known for its smooth and easy flavours.- Japanese whisky: Inspired by Scotch whisky, Japanese whisky is usually made in the same way as its counterpart. What makes it unique, however, is its lighter and more fragrant flavour profile, thanks to the additives and type of cask used.- Bourbon: This is a type of American whisky primarily made with corn (a minimum of 51%). Bourbon must be aged in new charred oak barrels to produce its unique flavour profile consisting of toasted wood, spices, and sometimes a subtle smokiness.

2. Remember that there are different ways to serve whisky

Image via @thomascpark (Unsplash)

If you're new to the world of the spirit, you may have heard of terms like "on the rocks" or "neat". There are many terms to serve whisky. Here's what they mean: - On the rocks: The whisky is served over ice cubes- Neat: The whisky is served at room temperature without any mixers or ice - Cocktail: The whisky is mixed with a variety of ingredients, from liquids like syrups and juices to garnishes like mint leaves and cherriesWhether you prefer it neat to savour the spirit's complexity or in a cocktail to explore new flavour combinations, the choice of how to serve whisky ultimately comes down to personal preference.

3. Experiment with different ratios of water and ice

You don't have to always follow the rules when serving your whisky. Experiment with adding just a few drops of water or a small cube of ice. Doing so can sometimes make a big difference to how your whisky will taste, as they can help release additional aromas and mellow its intensity.

4. Explore what you can mix with whisky

Image via OurWhisky Foundation (Unsplash)

While delicious on its own, there are various ingredients or mixers you can add to the spirit to enhance its taste. Even a single ingredient like an orange peel can greatly elevate the taste of the spirit. Common mixers for whisky include ginger ale and soda, which allows the spirit to retain its prominent taste, while giving a refreshing fizz as well as cutting down on the alcohol burn. In fact, these two-ingredient whisky cocktails have become very popular, and are better known as 'highballs'.

5. Pair it with complementary food

Image via Spirit of York

To elevate your whisky experience, consider pairing it with rich snacks, meals, and treats, such as dark chocolate, nuts, dried fruits, cheese, and even steak. Take dark chocolate for example. Its rich bitterness can contrast with the whisky's sweetness and heat. Get the most out of this pairing by taking a sip of the spirit first before eating the chocolate.

6. Choose the right type of glassware

Image via OurWhisky Foundation (Unsplash)

This might seem over the top, but like wine, drinking whisky from the right type of glass really makes a difference. The way the glass is structured can enhance the whisky's flavours, aroma, and overall enjoyment. The most common whisky glass is the whisky tumbler a.k.a. rocks glass, which has a short and wide design with a thick bottom, and allows for easy swirling. It is often associated with casual whisky drinking and is commonly used for serving whisky on the rocks or neat.There are many other types of glasses for serving whisky. Take highball, for example. It is known as a 'tall' cocktail as it requires to be served in a tall glass.

At the end of the day, whisky is all about experimenting, and if you're looking for a platform that allows you to do just that, you'll want to check out Johnnie Walker's Flavour Studio event

As a reminder, the legal drinking age in Malaysia is 21 years old. That means you need to be 21 and non-Muslim in order to buy and consume alcohol. Remember to always drink responsibly and in moderation. Don’t drink and drive. If you plan to drink, try carpooling with a friend who isn't drinking or catch a cab instead of driving.


11-Year-Old Runaway Bride Video: True Or Not? These People Say It's Not

UPDATE: Viral video of Yemeni child marriage called into question

The story of Nada al-Ahdal, an 11-year-old Yemeni girl whose video about her alleged arranged marriage went viral, is being called into question.

        aljazeera.com

Two human rights groups involved in the case, Seyaj and the Yemeni Women Union (YWU), say parts of Nada’s account are false, including the claim that her parents planned to marry her off.

        aljazeera.com

The person who recorded and uploaded the original video of Nada is Ziad Abdul-Jabbar. He works on a children's show called Nujoom al-Madina, which regularly features Nada. Abdul-Jabbar maintains that Nada's original account is true.

AN 11-year-old Yemeni girl who escaped her parents and an arranged marriage has taken to the internet to declare: "I'm not an item for sale."

In an eloquent monologue posted on YouTube, Nada Al-Ahdals says she fled to her uncle's house when her parents attempted to force her into marrying an older man for money.

        news.com.au

"I would have had no life, no education," she says in the video, dated July 8. "Don't they have any compassion?"  "I'm better off dead. I'd rather die."

        heraldsun.com.au

“I want to continue my education and live my life. I have many dreams, I don’t want to be married now. My mother hates me, she just wants me to get married because she will get money from the man."

        nationalyemen.com

Nada Al-Ahdal says she fled to her uncle's house, and that people close to her have threatened to kill her if she does not get married. Arranged marriages at a young age are common in that region.

        businessinsider.com

A common response, says Ahdal, is for those kids to commit suicide. "It's not [the kids'] fault. I'm not the only one. It can happen to any child."

        malaysiandigest.com

"Some children decided to throw themselves into the sea, they're dead now. They have killed our dreams, they have killed everything inside us. There's nothing left. There is no upbringing. This is criminal, this is simply criminal."

Dato' Aliff Syukri, usahawan kosmetik terkenal di Malaysia memang sentiasa terpalit dengan kontroversi

Image via SelangorKini

Dalam rancangan Gegar Vaganza 5 yang berlangsung semalam, 4 November, Dato' Aliff sekali lagi bikin kontroversi apabila dikatakan bersikap rasis dan pada masa yang sama telah mempersenda raut wajah orang lain.Dato' Aliff yang merupakan penaja utama kepada program nyanyian tersebut telah menghina warna kulit penyanyi, Santesh. Di samping itu, dia juga dengan ‘selamba’ telah melabel seorang penonton dengan gelaran 'muka hodoh' (ugly woman) dalam satu selingan untuk mempromosikan produk terbarunya.Lihat video di bawah:

Aliff Syukri ni dah kenapa? Kalau kena kat bini aku memang aku tampo dah dia ni  pic.twitter.com/d8vmIkOXu6— . (@thisisizwanafiq) November 5, 2018

Tindakan Dato' Aliff itu telah mengundang kemarahan para netizen yang menganggap tindakannya itu salah

This is not supposed to be telecast on live tv.. Ni ke yg perlu dijadikan contoh pada peniaga lain? Siap ckap “nnt sy byr akak”.. Ko anggap maruah org tu murah utk dijual beli yer? Bodoh!Tolong banned product dia & jgn bg wajahnya keluar TV lg! Biadap!— Azim Kamaruzzaman (@azim_kzaman) November 5, 2018

dia ni memang tk reti jaga hati perasaan orang ke?— nrnana (@nuryusof1) November 4, 2018

samada kita sedar atau tidak, mempelekeh warna kulit itu ibarat memperlekehkan ciptaan Tuhan...ibarat perisa makanan atau minum..ada yg suka masin,ada yg suka masam manis dah sebagainya..semuanya nikmat Tuhan yg tidak mungkin kita dustakan...— wan norizam (@atc_izam) November 5, 2018

Bukan itu sahaja, penyanyi Malaysia, Imran Ajmain turut meluahkan dukacitanya terhadap sikap Dato' Aliff dalam laman Twitter miliknya

Image via Twitter @ImranAjmain

Penyanyi dan chef, Dato' Fazley Yaacob juga merasakan tindakan Dato' Aliff sebagai memalukan dan menggesanya supaya memohon maaf

        View this post on Instagram           Maaf.. its too much jika sekadar untuk marketing. Banyak lagi cara untuk menjual jenama, bukan menggunakan perkataan berbaur racist terhadap warna kulit seseorang, melabelkan wajah seseorang sebagai kurang sempurna, apatah lagi meletakkan foundation dengan tangan untuk ‘mencantikkan’ seseorang di sebuah program yang begitu ramai pengikutnya . Memalukan juga buat penonton yang turut sama ketawa lucu melihatnya. Haih.. apa nak jadi orang-orang kita ya? Selaku seorang yang berpengaruh, mohon fikir semula bahawa ramai anak-anak yang menonton, ramai mak ayah yang menonton, ramai manusia yang akan ingat sampai bila-bila . Marketing harus bijak.. bukan jumud dan melulu! Kaya tak menjamin adab, kaya juga tak menjamin kebijaksanaan. Seeloknya permohonan maaf harus di usahakan, sebelum bara menjadi api besar yang terus menelan maruah dan membakar punca rezeki ‘downliners’ yang turut terkena tempiasnya! . Atau mungkin saya seorang yang rasa sebegini? #gegarvaganza2018 A post shared by  Dato' Fazley Yaakob (@fazleyyaakob) on Nov 4, 2018 at 6:17am PST

Mungkin tindakan Dato' Aliff itu adalah sekadar bergurau demi untuk mempromosikan produk terbarunya

Namun begitu, dalam bergurau perlulah bertempat lebih-lebih lagi jikalau ialah melibatkan sensitiviti orang sekeliling. Diharap agar Dato' Aliff menganggap perkara ni sebagai teguran dan iktibar yang baik untuk perbaiki dirinya.

Facebook And Instagram Have Banned The Use Of Certain Emojis For Being Sexually Suggestive

Facebook and Instagram have banned the sexual usage of three particular emojis

According to Malay Mail, the "sexually suggestive" emojis, which are widely known to represent a penis (eggplant), buttocks (peach), and ejaculation (water drip), will still be allowed in captions, but can no longer be used in a manner that suggests or asks for anything sexual in nature.A violation of the terms can get a user's account flagged or removed, reported adult industry news site XBIZ.

Image via Electronic Urban Report

In July, Facebook, who owns Instagram, quietly updated the Community Standards language regarding permissible sexual expression on the social media platforms

According to New York Post,  the updated policy is explained under the 'Sexual Solicitation' section in the Facebook guidelines.The Facebook rationale is, "People use Facebook to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation. We recognise the importance of and want to allow for this discussion."However, the social networking platform said that they "draw the line when content facilitates, encourages, or coordinates sexual encounters between adults".

Image via BetaNews

As a reminder, an Instagram spokesperson told the New York Post, that they "aren't taking action on simply the emojis"

"[Content] will only be removed from Facebook and Instagram if it contains a sexual emoji alongside an implicit or indirect ask for nude imagery, sex or sexual partners, or sex chat conversations."

The announcement has since become a talking point on Twitterjaya

"How will my grandfather advertise his produce? He's a farmer," this user jokingly wondered.

How will my GrandPa advertise his product and he is a farmer. Facebook and Instagram ban 'sexual' emoji https://t.co/LOHYIPOVyT via @DailySunSA— 25th Oct Very Own (@jerry_lehloka) November 1, 2019

Another user was curious to know if Facebook will ban sexually suggestive text too.

Wait, are they going to ban the text emoji (. )( .) and writing 58008 upside down too ??— Jason Voorhages  (@jason_wages) October 31, 2019

While this user reckons the ban of the eggplant and peach emojis is great news for the use of other lessen known emojis.

Sexual use of the #eggplant & #peach #emojis are now #banned on #Facebook & #Instagram. This is actually gr8 news for the banana, carrot, hotdog, taco, & donut emoji to finally make their debut.

5 Obvious Tell-Tale Signs You're Being Conned By An Article Online

1. Spelling mistakes. While many satire sites are designed to look very similar to real news site, they can’t spell to save their lives! Make sure you’re getting your news from the right sources.

Image via diylol.com

The satire site which is subtly misspelled as The Stratis Times
Image via mothership.sg

The real site which is The Straits Times
Image via The Straits Times

2. The article is ancient! Sometimes, old news resurfaces even when it’s no longer relevant. Keep your eyes peeled and check the date!

Image via meme.am

Before you embark on your next furious tirade on social media, the very least you could do is to make sure what you’re getting pissed about isn’t outdated news.

        mothership.sg

We’re the most skimming folks ever. We just hit “Share” sometimes without even clicking through to read the article. Admit it. We deduce that we learn all we need from the featured image and the headline. All you gotta do is click through and pay attention to what’s in front of you.

        awesomelyluvvie.com

3. There are irregularities in the video. Saw a video of an eagle picking up a baby? It's easy to check if it's fake. Make sure the video follows to rules of physics!

×

In a video with more than one shot, it can be revealing to compare the size and position of objects. Although things may look realistic in one shot, mapping the angles and focal lengths can reveal differences that point toward manipulation.

        cbc.ca

When things move in the real world, they must adhere to the rules of physics. Physics education tools such as Tracker can create dynamic models of video events. The forces at work in those models can then be compared to known factors in the real world, like gravity, mass and acceleration, to check for magical behaviour.

        cbc.ca

If you didn't understand any of the explanations, here's a simple one: Everything must adhere to the rules of physics and if the video don't seem natural, it probably is fake.

4. There are no other sites reporting it. Before you hit "Share", just do a quick Google search to see if major news websites are reporting it. If they aren't, the article is mostly likely fake.

Image via awesomelytechie.com

If you read something that seems outrageous, before you pass it on to others, pause and Google it. Can you find a second source? If not, wait. Don’t try to play FIRST on news and post it just so people can comment “FAKE.” Be sure. If you Google it, and the news isn’t corroborated anywhere else, you might wanna wait til you find other receipts.

        awesomelyluvvie.com

5. When it's just too good to be true. You've inherited RM100,000 from a mysterious Nigerian prince? But you have to deposit money to claim it? Just hit delete and report the email as spam.
