KL Introduces An All-Direction 'Shibuya Crossing' In Bukit Bintang

Can't go to Tokyo due to the pandemic? Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has brought a small aspect of the Japanese city to our capital city.

DBKL has introduced a new pedestrian scramble in Bukit BIntang, the heart of Kuala Lumpur

The pedestrian scramble, also known as X-crossing or Barnes Dance, was opened for public usage on Saturday, 19 June.Based on photos posted by the city council, X-shaped yellow crossing lines were painted between Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Sultan Ismail, resembling the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo.DBKL said the new all-direction pedestrian crossing was introduced to improve walkability in the high-traffic pedestrian area."The change is to ensure convenience and safety for pedestrians are guaranteed at the location. This change allows pedestrians to cross the street in all directions simultaneously and optimise the total time needed to cross," the city council wrote in a Facebook post.The Star quoted DBKL as saying that the crossing was introduced after a detailed study. Other than making it easier for pedestrians to cross the streets in the busy office and shopping area, it also aims to reduce the risk of accidents.

The pedestrian scramble is not a traffic solution unique to Shibuya. Closer to home in Singapore, Orchard Road also has a pedestrian scramble as well.

The pedestrian scramble went into a month-long trial on Orchard Road in December 2017 before being continued in January 2018, reported Nikkei Asia.

The same type of crossing can be found in many population-dense cities around the world too, such as New York City, London, and Ontario.According to Treehugger, an information site dedicated to promoting sustainability, pedestrian scrambles date back to the late 1940s when they first appeared in Kansas City and Vancouver.Traffic engineer Henry Barnes popularised the traffic solution at the time — that is how it got its name 'Barnes Dances', as "Barnes has made the people so happy they're dancing in the streets".Japan has over 300 pedestrian scrambles. At Shibuya Crossing, 3,000 people are able to cross the road at one go when the lights turn green for pedestrians.

[VIDEO] What Happens When You Sneak A Cheap IKEA Print Into A Fancy Museum

Recently, YouTube channel LifeHuntersTV took a cheap, mass-produced print costing USD12 from IKEA and displayed it in a fancy art museum. And in order to see if they could fool some serious art lovers, they told them it was by an artist called Ike Andrews!

Image via lifehunterstv

The trick fooled everyone. One of the museum-goers described the IKEA print as "a depiction of chaos inside the artist's mind." Another "art-lover" found the level of detail in it to be "unbelievable."

Image via lifehunterstv

And one even found an emotional connection with it

Image via lifehunterstv

When asked how much would they pay for this piece of art, one of them said, "If you could buy this for 2.5 million euros, I'd do it."

8-Year-Old Malaysian Girl Killed In Tragic Accident At Royal Adelaide Show

The Girl Was On Holiday With Her Family When They Visited The Royal Adelaide Show, The Biggest Annual Event Of South Australia On Friday, 12 September 2014

Image via dailymail.co.uk

The Royal Adelaide Show is South Australia's biggest annual event run by the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia. Experiences run the whole gamut from carnival rides, exhibitions and attractions to exquisite handicraft, cookery and wide variety of champion livestock and animals.

Its 12 carriages are at the end of arms that radiate from a central pivot, hurling patrons around and up and down at the same time.

The ride had a height limit understood to be 140cm, but no weight or age restriction.

        adelaidenow.com.au

When The Tragedy Happened, The Girl Was Hanging By Her Legs. "She Went Flying Through The Air About 10-15 Meters Up In The Air," Said A 17-Year-Old Witness

Witness Malinda Dunwoodie, 17, was considering going on the Airmaxx 360 when she saw the tragedy unfold. She said the safety harness was still down but it looked as if the girl had slipped out of her seat. “She was hanging by her legs off the ride, trying to block herself. She went flying through the air about 10-15m up in the air and I started sprinting towards her,” Ms Dunwoodie said. “I was shaking so much, she looked like a doll flying through the air.

"I Didn't See Her Land In The Crowd But When I Made It Over To Her I Couldn't See Her Eyes Moving. Everyone Was Screaming."

Brandon Taylor, 16, was one of the first witnesses on the scene. “We just saw someone lying on the ground,” he said. “She looked like she was in a pretty critical condition. I don’t want to go on that ride now.”

        news.com.au

Shocked witnesses said the girl was covered in blood when she was taken from the scene. "She didn't look too good," Oakden girl Emily Furno, 13, told AAP. "Everyone who saw the accident was in shock."

Another Young Witness Said, "I Was Looking Back And I Could See Someone Lying On The Ground And People With Towels."

An unnamed witness said: 'I was looking back and I could see someone lying on the ground and people with towels. It happened so quickly. One second it was fine and the next it was not.'

“Our thoughts are definitely with the family at this time. We have a current investigation going on for the Coroner, we are working with SafeWork SA with support from the Royal Show Society,” said Chief Inspector Dennis Lock. “I would like to thank all the emergency services people, Royal Show assistants and the numerous members of the public that quickly came to the aid of the girl.”

        news.com.au

SafeWork SA executive director Bryan Russell said the investigation into the death had already started. “The investigation is expected to take some time given the nature of the incident, number of witnesses involved and technical expertise required,” Russell said.

        theguardian.com

The official Facebook page of the Royal Adelaide Show posted announced the minute of silence one day after the fatal incident happened.

According To Rothwell, All Rides Undergo Daily Checks And Have Passed The National Compliance Audit Prior To The Show Opening

“All rides at the show must pass a national compliance audit prior to the show opening and undergo daily checks by the operators,” he (John Rothwell) said. He said he had not yet made contact with the family of the girl because it was too early but would do so in due course.

        news.com.au

Brian Russell, from Safework SA, said no complaints about the ride had been made before today.
He said the investigation would look into whether ride operators complied with safety and legal obligations, but no compliance breaches were detected when the ride was inspected before the Show.

        news.com.au

South Australia's work health and safety agency, SafeWork SA, said the ride - which was operating for the first time at the show - would be shut for the rest of the event as they investigate the incident with police.

So The Ride Was Safe? Safework South Australia Executive Director Said No Prior Complaints Were Made, But Visitors Have Testified That There Were Faults And Poor Service

Watson, who took the ride on Thursday with her daughter said an attendant securing restraints on all riders appeared to be in a bad mood. “We were the last ones to be locked in and the girl said, ‘I’m effing over this; I’ve had enough of it’,” she told the Sunday Mail. “I kind of took it she was over today - but it was only about 11am,” Watson added. She said that just moments after the ride started, the operator stopped it and pointed out a particular seat to the attendant. “It turns out she hadn’t clipped the seat down properly on it,” Watson said. “She cracked it at him. She wasn’t happy he’d stopped the ride,” she added.

Brock Koster, 21, of Riverton, in the Mid North, travelled to Adelaide for the Show with his girlfriend last Saturday and said the Airmaxx 360 was not functioning properly. “Halfway through our ride it kept stopping and starting,” Mr Koster said. “It would slow right down and then it would start again, but eventually it stopped altogether.” He said riders at the time were asked to exit and were given their tickets for later use. “As we were getting off, the floor started collapsing beneath us and we nearly fell off,” Mr Koster said.

        adelaidenow.com.au

He said the ride was closed as maintenance staff worked on it, including on one of the 12 octopus-like arms. When he returned to use their free tickets, the ride still didn’t seem to be working. “It wasn’t doing the full movements – it was still being weird,” Mr Koster said. He said his girlfriend told him she was not strapped in properly. “She felt like she was going to fly out, so I was trying to hold on to her . . . she just didn’t feel secure,” he said.

Among those paying their respects earlier today were the Redman family from Mile End, who brought lilies from their garden in memory of the girl. “We weren’t sure if we would come here today, it felt a bit inappropriate because of what happened yesterday,” Claire Redman said. “But we had already promised our kids, so we tried to think of something we could do to acknowledge what had happened.”

        news.com.au

Shawni Gregory, 21, of Munno Para West, and her best friend Katharina Ritson, of Smithfield, 23, were working at the show yesterday when they were told of the tragedy. “We’ve been up all night thinking about it, we couldn’t sleep,” Ms Gregory said. “We didn’t want to come to work today.”
The pair picked up flowers on their way to work and delivered them to the memorial.

10 Times You Definitely Wished To Have Your Own Place

We love living with our parents, but sometimes you just wish you had your very own space

Image via JustKiddingFilms / YouTube

More privacy, more space, and most importantly - less nagging.

These are some of the times that we really wish we had our own home:

1. When you're tired of the nagging and tell yourself that it's time to be more independent

No matter how old you are, you'll always be your mum's baby. And because you want the independence and freedom (aka no more nagging), moving into your own place sounds like a great idea.

2. Besides, your family home is quite far away from your office anyway

Image via 20th Television

You can probably relate to this if your family home is located in a 'jam' area. The struggles is very real.

3. Especially when data and wifi connection is super weak at home

Image via PC World

You know signal is bad when you have to go to a window just to send a WhatsApp text.

4. Also, you really want a pet kitten but someone at home is allergic to furry animals

Image via Endemol UK

Kittens are super cute though...

5. One of the most annoying things is when you have to queue and wait for your turn to use the bathroom every morning

Image via Viacom Media Networks

Especially since one of your siblings or roommates needs at least an hour to bathe.

6. And sometimes your younger siblings mess up your room (on purpose)

Image via Odyssey

*SCREAMS*

7. ... and always forget to flush the toilet

Image via Giphy

We just can't deal with this.

8. Remember that time they 'borrowed' some stuff from you without asking?

Image via E!

FYI, that's actually stealing.

9. You'll definitely need your own place if you're planning on getting married

Image via Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

It'll be a little awkward if you and your spouse have to share a house with strangers.

10. ... and especially when you're gonna have your first baby :D

5 Places To Eat Balut In Klang Valley If You’ve Always Wanted To Try Filipino Duck Embryo

A popular delicacy in the Philippines, balut is a developing bird embryo - usually duck - that it boiled and eaten from the shell

Image via @her_foodie_girl

Normally eaten with an array of condiments like salt, vinegar, pepper, coriander, and chilli sauce, balut is widely consumed for its aphrodisiac properties.While the thought of eating a half-formed duck embryo may sound repulsive to some, hardcore fans will tell you that it’s actually quite enjoyable! A good balut should be mild in flavour, and have a soft and creamy melt-in-your-mouth texture.

For those new to balut, the best way to enjoy this delicacy is to crack a little bit of the shell to suck out the soup inside first, followed by adding your preferred condiments before eating the rest of it

"Mamak Kayangan" - Lelaki Ini Terkejut Sepinggan Nasi Campur Yang Dibayarnya Berharga RM45

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

Seorang lelaki terkejut apabila dia diberitahu bahawa harga sepinggan nasi campurnya berjumlah RM45.05 di sebuah kedai mamak

Insiden itu pada asalnya disiarkan di platform media sosial Xiaohongshu oleh teman wanita lelaki itu, di mana dia melihat ke pinggannya dan berkata ia akan menjadi makanan yang mahal, lapor Sin Chew Daily."Dia tidak percaya," tulisnya. "Dia terkejut apabila tiba masa untuk membayar — RM45 untuk sepinggan nasi campur!"Berdasarkan resit tersebut, lelaki itu membayar harga makanan yang terlalu tinggi pada 29 Oktober 2021. Bagaimanapun, cerita itu sekali lagi menjadi viral selepas ia dimuat naik semula di media sosial.

Image via Sin Chew Daily

Gambar resit yang dimuat naiknya itu mempamerkan sepinggan nasi dengan telur dadar bawang (RM3) dan ayam daun pandan (RM4.50), dengan hidangan paling mahal dalam senarai ialah udang petai (RM10), sotong (RM8), dan otak-otak (RM9) di mana ia telah menaikkan lagi harga berkenaan.

Image via Sin Chew Daily

Walaupun nampak munasabah selepas meneliti bilnya, begitupun dengan jumlah dan jenis hidangan yang dipilihnya, masih agak pelik dengan udang petai tanpa udang yang kelihatan boleh berharga RM10, dan empat ketul sotong berharga RM8.

Bagaimanapun, rata-rata netizen yang juga dalam kalangan pelanggan kedai mamak tampil memberi nasihat kepada lelaki yang 'malang' itu

Konklusinya adalah: Jangan ambil makanan laut atau seafood!"Sebaik sahaja saya melihat sotong, saya tahu ia akan mahal. Apabila anda keluar, jangan ambil ikan, ketam, sotong, dan lain-lain seumpamanya. "Sebaliknya, ambil ayam, telur, dan sayur-sayuran. Makanan ini adalah benda paling murah di pasaran sekarang," nasihat seorang netizen.

Image via 马来西亚星洲日报 Malaysia Sin Chew Daily (Facebook)

"Apabila anda makan di mamak, apa sahaja yang anda lakukan, jangan ambil udang atau sotong. Pertama, ia tidak akan segar. Kedua, walaupun anda ambil sedikit sahaja, ia akan berharga sekurang-kurangnya RM10," komen seorang netizen.

Image via 马来西亚星洲日报 Malaysia Sin Chew Daily (Facebook)

"Anda ada sotong, petai udang, ayam, telur, dan otak-otak. Hidangan yang mewah. Kalau anda tidak tahu harga barang semasa ambil makanan, anda boleh makan rumput," kata pengguna lain dengan nada sinis.

Jadi, apa pendapat korang tentang isu ini? Adakah kedai mamak yang salah atau lelaki ini tak tahu order makan :)

Private Company Says MOH Has Approved Its Phase 3 Clinical Trial Of COVID-19 Vaccine

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

A property developer has obtained the Ministry of Health's approval for its Phase 3 clinical trial study of inactivated COVID-19 trial vaccines in Malaysia, as per its announcement on Bursa Malaysia

With the approval, the property developer Yong Tai Berhad — under its healthcare subsidiary YTB Healthcare Sdn Bhd (YTBH) — has become the first private company to initiate and sponsor the Phase 3 clinical trial of the COVID-19 vaccines in Malaysia."The board wishes to announce that Medical Review & Ethics Committee (MREC) had vide its letter dated 23 April approved the said Phase 3 Clinical Trial study to be carried out in Malaysia involving 3,000 subjects," Yong Tai stated in its Bursa Malaysia filing on 26 April.However, there has been no such announcement from MOH on this matter so far.The company expects to commence the Phase 3 clinical trial by the second quarter of 2021.

Yong Tai said that YTBH has already formalised the Phase 3 clinical trial with its strategic partner in China since December last year

The private company's China-based partner is Shenzhen Kangtai Biological Products Co Ltd (SZKT), one of the largest vaccine manufacturers in China.Calling the approval from MOH timely, YTB chief executive officer and executive director Datuk Wira Boo Kuang Loon said that it came after the company's proactive efforts over the past four months to ensure all regulatory and safety requirements are met for them to obtain the approval for Phase 3 clinical trial."With our collaboration, we are looking to help escalate the country's target to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 and potentially bring in SZKT to set up their production centre in Malaysia," Boo said."This will also help to attract huge investment into Malaysia, as well as transfer technical know-how to local workers, and create job opportunities in the pharmaceutical sector."

Image via The Edge

The group wants to roll out the distribution of SZKT's vaccine by the third quarter of 2021, subject to approval by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Authority (NPRA) for emergency usage

"We have an ambition to roll out the distribution of the vaccine by the third quarter this year, subject to the approval by NPRA for emergency usage. So far, the COVID-19 vaccines are procured by the government and administered for free to the public. The regulators have already approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, China's Sinovac, and Britain's AstraZeneca," Boo said."So far, we have only seen around 2.4% of the population that has obtained at least one dose of the vaccine. It is still a long way and we believe that involvement of a local private sector in the distribution of vaccine will help to escalate the country's goal to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19."

The approval also grants YHBH exclusive distributorship rights

Under the collaboration with the China-based SZKT, YTBH will be granted exclusive distributorship rights in Malaysia on a vaccine procurement programme of at least 10 million doses per year, with an option to purchase an additional 10 million doses per year, for a five-year period, said Yong Tai."In the event of unsold doses, the surplus shall be allowed to be sold with permission in other ASEAN and Indian subcontinent countries," the group added in its statement.

In December last year, the YTB CEO had said that the company's two main businesses — tourism and property — were the worst-hit sectors amidst the pandemic and the company needed to find a way to survive

Speaking to The Edge Malaysia, Boo said, "We don't see the tourism and property sectors recovering significantly in the next two years. That is why we want to be involved in vaccine distribution."According to him, the company "cannot keep pumping money" into the property sector.

Meanwhile, the government is opening up an appointment system to allow adults aged 18 and above to get the AstraZeneca vaccine on a "first come, first served" basis, starting first with Selangor and KL:

                Khairy: AstraZeneca Vaccine To Be Given On 'First Come, First Served' Basis

The process will first start in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur due to the high number of COVID-19 cases here.

"The trick is to know how to build phrases by using those characters. This is enough to understand Chinese found in Menus and on road signs."

"Before we even start designing our team researches the definition, origin and history of the character. We then move on to the applications (for example, how to build more characters and phrases) and finally we consider how to make stories out of them."

9 Badass Facts About Yeo Bee Yin, The Youngest Female Minister In Tun Mahathir's Cabinet

From Damansara Utama state assemblyperson to MP of Bakri and now, a newly minted Cabinet Minister, Yeo Bee Yin has had a pretty illustrious political career at just 35 years of age

Image via Bernama

Yeo was sworn in as Minister of Energy, Green Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment on Monday, 2 July along with 12 other ministers and 23 deputy ministers into Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad's Cabinet. At 35, that makes Yeo the youngest female minister in the Cabinet.In addition to being a minister and MP of Bakri, Yeo is also Pakatan Harapan Youth vice chairman and DAP's National Assistant Publicity Secretary.

Yeo, who only entered politics six years ago when she joined DAP in August 2012, has done some pretty bada** things prior to becoming a Cabinet Minister. Here's a brief look at her background and achievements:

1. She survived two life-threatening incidents in her childhood

Yeo (left) with her sister Bee Hui in a photo taken after recovering from the first incident.
Image via Yeo Bee Yin

In her blog, Yeo revealed that she fell and hit her head when she was a toddler on the sharp edge of a wooden sofa. "My entire skull became very soft. I was treated in ICU for many days and hospitalised in the General Hospital (Seremban) for a long time," she wrote. A few years later, when she was five, Yeo was hit by a car when she dashed into the road while playing. Luckily for her, the driver was a doctor and quickly attended to her after accident.

2. An engineer by training, Yeo received a scholarship by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to pursue a master's degree in Cambridge University

Also a recipient of the Petronas Scholarship, Yeo graduated from Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) with First Class Honours in Chemical Engineering. After working with Schlumberger for two years, Yeo went on to pursue a Masters in Philosophy in Advanced Chemical Engineering under the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and subsequently graduated with a Commendation.

3. Yeo was elected as state assemblywoman for Damansara Utama when she was 29, making her the youngest member of the Selangor State Assembly from 2013 to 2018

Image via Christianity Malaysia

Having just joined DAP as a full-time member in August 2012, the 13th General Election also marked the first time Yeo contested in a political election. She won with 30,689 majority, which was also the highest majority for state seats in Malaysia for GE13. The 14th General Election would see her moving back to her home state Johor to contest for the Bakri parliamentary seat, which she won with 23,211 majority. It was also the highest majority ever achieved in the history of the Bakri parliamentary constituency.

4. Yeo is one of the key people involved in the first Impian Sarawak project in Kampung Sait, Sarawak

Parked under DAP's Impian Malaysia movement, the project was initiated to improve lives and provide basic infrastructure such as roads, water, and electricity in rural areas, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak. In an interview with Free Malaysia Today, Yeo revealed that they did not have any money when they began work on the project. "We needed to raise funds and get volunteers. That’s how we started our first Impian Sarawak project. We put in funds first, then raised the rest from the public," she said. Despite skepticism and resistance from some quarters, Yeo managed to raise RM280,000 from her constituents. The initial project cost was only set at RM20,000.

5. Yeo's office launched the 'No Excuse to Rape' digital campaign alongside the All Women's Action Society (AWAM) in 2015

Image via Yeo Bee Yin

The then state assemblywoman for Damansara Utama said that the campaign aims to break victim-blaming culture in the country and raise awareness about statutory rape, substance-related rape, and marital rape.

6. A true proponent of equal privileges in education, Yeo has initiated free tuition centres for students from low-income families via the Pusat Tuisyen Rakyat programme

Image via Christianity Malaysia

Since 2014, Yeo's office has been running two tuition centres offering free classes for students aged between seven to 17 in Damansara Bistari and Kampung Chempaka. In addition, she organised leadership training camps for university students called LEAP (Leadership, Education, Activism and Politics), which aims to educate students on the political process and activism in Malaysia. She also founded the Lawatan Anak Muda (LAM) Programme which allows young participants to visit the Malaysian Parliament and the Selangor State Assembly.

7. In a visit to the White House in 2015, Yeo asked Obama what he thought of democracy in Malaysia in light of Anwar's imprisonment

Image via Yeo Bee Yin Facebook

Yeo had the opportunity to participate in a town hall with Barack Obama under the Young South East Asian Leadership Initiative (YSEALI), in which she asked the following question to then President of the US, Barack Obama: "What is your view on the democracy in Malaysia with the recent jailing of Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition leader and the crackdown on the oppositions?"TL;DR - Obama gave a pretty diplomatic answer, though you can listen to his full reply from 13:10 to 17:47 here.

8. Yeo gave the infamous Jamal Yunos a mirror and filed a RM5 million suit against him for defamation after the UMNO leader alleged that she misappropriated funds from the Selangor state government

Image via Malaysia Gazette

In March 2017, Sungai Besar UMNO Chief Jamal Mohd Yunos alleged that Yeo misappropriated state funds meant for the Skim Mesra Usia Emas (SMUE). In response to the allegations, Yeo showed up at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office where Jamal was expected to lodge a report with a mirror bearing "Nothing to Hide" so it could be presented to the UMNO man. To no one's surprise, Jamal did not show up. Yeo subsequently filed a RM5 million defamation suit against Jamal, in which he also failed to appear at the High Court for case management.

9. She launched a book, Reimagining Malaysia, earlier this year

In the book, Yeo shares personal stories as well as her insights as a young lawmaker, covering "different aspects of nation-building that are close to my heart", such as institutional reform, education, youth, women, and sustainable development. You can read snippets of her book here.

Cetaphil's Latest Optimal Hydration Range Deeply Hydrates Dry, Dehydrated Sensitive Skin

Beloved for its sensitive skin-friendly products, Cetaphil recently released a new range called Optimal Hydration, perfect for reviving dry and dehydrated skin!

Image via Cetaphil (Provided to SAYS)

If your skin's looking a bit dull and dry lately, this range might be worth a look. Cetaphil's Optimal Hydration range claims to provide 48 hours of hydration*, helping to improve the overall quality of sensitive skin.Comprising three brand new products, the range includes Optimal Hydration 48-Hour Activation Serum, Optimal Hydration Healthy Glow Daily Cream, and Optimal Hydration Refreshing Eye Serum.*Galderma data on file RD.27.SPR.202353 & RD.27.SPR.202360

The new hydration range is powered by an innovative combination of hyaluronic acid and exclusive HydroSensitiv Complex

Image via Cetaphil

You've probably heard of the wonders of hyaluronic acid when it comes to hydrating your skin.Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces. Since it can bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid is excellent at keeping your skin nice and hydrated.Cetaphil's Optimal Hydration range not only contains an innovative blend of hyaluronic acid, but is also powered by the brand's exclusive HydroSensitiv Complex. Working synergistically, the latter features a mixture of three active ingredients that extensively hydrates to replenish moisture in the skin and soothe skin sensitivities. In other words, HydroSensitiv Complex captures and pulls in moisture, boosting your skin's overall water content and sealing it in. That way, water stays deep within your skin where it's needed — for hydration that lasts 48 hours long* — even in extremely drying conditions.*Galderma data on file RD.27.SPR.202353 & RD.27.SPR.202360

Here are the products in the new range and how they can help your skin:

Cetaphil Optimal Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum

Featuring a lightweight texture that instantly absorbs into your skin, this serum contains hyaluronic acid, sunflower seed oil, shea oil, pro vitamin B5, and vitamin E.Together, they work to provide non-stop 48-hour intense hydration to deeply replenish hydration levels in dry and dehydrated skin, as well as improve overall quality of sensitive skin. It delivers a complimentary hydration effect when used with Optimal Hydration Healthy Glow Daily Cream, leaving your skin's texture and appearance smoothened and restored.

Promising 48 hours of intense, long-lasting hydration*, this lightweight cream features HydroSensitiv Complex, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin B5, and antioxidant-rich vitamin E that leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. It's also good for keeping a healthy skin barrier in check, while soothing skin sensitivities.*Galderma data on file RD.27.SPR.202353 & RD.27.SPR.202360

Upping hydration levels with star ingredients, the Optimal Hydration range is particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated sensitive skin

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Cetaphil Malaysia (@cetaphilmy)

From redness and irritation to tight, itchy, and uneven rough skin, Cetaphil's new range promises to soothe sensitivities as a result of dehydration as well as dry skin. Dry skin lacks sebum, while skin that is dehydrated lacks water. Together, they can contribute to sensitive skin, where your natural skin barrier gets weakened, leading to higher chances of inflammation when it reacts to external stimuli.It’s important to address skin inflammation in order to achieve optimal hydration. Proper hydration is critical to healthy skin, as it maintains enzyme activity, PH and moisture levels, as well as prevents sensitised skin.Thanks to Cetaphil's Optimal Hydration Range, you'll experience a much more dynamic hydration process that effectively targets different layers of the skin when it comes to hydration care. What's more, the range can also help strengthen your skin barrier, further protecting it from environmental factors.

Wanna nourish your skin and soothe skin sensitivities? Here's a regime you can follow using Cetaphil's Optimal Hydration products:

Image via Cetaphil (Provided to SAYS)

Step 1: Gently cleanse dirt and impurities with Cetaphil Gentle Skin CleanserStep 2: Boost your skin's hydration levels with Cetaphil Optimal Hydration 48 Hour Activation SerumStep 3: Target dark circles and puffiness around the eye area with Cetaphil Optimal Hydration Refreshing Eye SerumStep 4: Moisturise with Cetaphil Optimal Hydration Healthy Glow Daily Cream

If you're looking for a complete optimal hydration skincare range for dry, dehydrated skin, consider Cetaphil's Optimal Hydration range

You Can Now Upgrade Your UniFi To 50Mbps A Month But There's A Catch

Awhile back, we reported that TM will be introducing 30 and 50Mbps Internet speeds, but only in selected areas in the Klang Valley

                10Mbps Internet Still Too Slow For You? UniFi Has A 50Mbps Plan Now

No more YouTube buffering, no more delays! Hopefully...

Read the full story

The service has now been extended to ALL UniFi ready areas, which means people like you and I get to enjoy blazing fast speeds!

Image via nocookie.net

Even though the package is yet to appear on TM’s website, it is a strong sign that the service is now finally ready to accept more customers. True enough, it turns out that the new 30Mbps plan is now available in all areas that are covered by UniFi.

        lowyat.net

This matter was confirmed by the staff of TMpoint in Menara TM, Kuala Lumpur which we visited earlier today in order to learn more about the new package. As for the monthly charges, they remain the same as per the charges that the company have set back in April for the UniFi 30Mbps trial in Klang Valley.

        lowyat.net

What makes the new package attractive is the price. The UniFi 50 plan is priced the same as the existing UniFi 20 Mbps plan.

Image via Soyacincau

You could get 50Mbps for only RM263.94/month (inclusive of GST) which is the same price as their current VIP 20 plan with 20Mbps connectivity.The folks at Lowyat had just confirmed that the new plans are now officially available in all UniFi service areas. So now you can enjoy 30Mbps speeds at RM210.94 a month, which is the same price as their current 10Mbps plan.

        soyacincau.com

Meanwhile, existing customers that are interested to upgrade their VIP packages to the new 30 Mbps package no longer need to terminate their account which follows the statement that TM made back in April. However, they will be tied to a 2-years contract once again shall they choose to make the jump to the 30 Mbps package. For new users, they will be tied to a 2-year contract as well which is the standard contract duration for UniFi. For the time being, TMpoint is the best place for users to register or upgrade their existing UniFi subscription to the new 30Mbps package – the new packages are yet to appear on TM’s website.

        lowyat.net

But wait... There's a catch! There are three notable differences between the old UniFi packages and the new plans.

Image via klientboost

1. The upload speed of the new package is capped at 5Mbps. The existing one has similar download and upload speeds.

Image via giphy.com

The first is the upload speed as the 30Mbps plan has a lower upload speed of 5Mbps while the existing VIP packages have similar download and upload speed. For customers who choose to bump to the 50Mbps plan, their upload speed will be slightly higher at 10Mbps.

        lowyat.net

For the new 30Mbps and 50Mbps plans, the speeds are asymmetrical where its upload speeds are much slower than downloads. The new 30Mbps plan gets just 5Mbps for upload while its 50Mbps plan settles for 10Mbps. Is this a big deal? It all depends on your usage. For normal web browsing, video and music streaming, 30Mbps for download is a significant jump from 10Mbps and the lower upload speeds shouldn’t be much of an issue.

        soyacincau.com

2. No more free landline phone calls in the new package

Image via forevertwentysomethings.com

Another big difference is the lack of free landline phone calls. For the current VIP plans, each subscriber can make unlimited phone calls for free to any TM fixed line nationwide. Meanwhile phone calls to mobile numbers are charged at 11sen/minute, which is quite reasonable.

        soyacincau.com

Under the 30Mbps package, users are also charged 21 sen per minute for calls from UniFi’s DECT phone regardless of whether to a fixed line or a mobile number. Of course, users can choose to have the Voice Pack add-on that offers free fixed line calls and discounted rate for calls to mobile after 600 minutes.

        malaysiandigest.com

3. You'll get more bundled channels on HyppTV

Image via junaidix.com

The third difference is that the 30Mbps package is inclusive of HyppTV vernacular packs (Aneka, Ruby, or Varnam Pack) alongside the service’s free channels. In the existing VIP packages, these HyppTV vernacular packs were optional.

We Tried Twisties' All-New Kaya Butter Toast Flavour. Here's What We Think

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Twisties.

One of the local food staples we're obsessed with has gotta be kaya butter toast, right? Mmmmmmm.

Usually found in kopitiams, kaya butter toast consists of warm toasted crispy bread generously slathered with creamy kaya and melted butter, yum! In fact, the traditional kopitiam snack is still one of the local food staples Malaysians just can't get enough of. Whether we have it for breakfast with soft boiled eggs, as a quick afternoon snack with a cup of hot coffee, or sometimes as a suppertime treat, kaya butter toast makes a delightful bite that can be enjoyed any time, anywhere. :9Like, look at this image of crusty toasted bread slabbed with plenty of kaya and butter, amaigaaaaaddd.

Image via 海南仔 (Facebook)

Well, guess what? Twisties recently added their all-new Kaya Butter Toast flavour to the family, which means the popular kopitiam delicacy we're obsessed with can now be enjoyed in the flavourful form of corn snacks, yassssss! :D

Image via SAYS

Wanting to pay homage to local food, while offering Malaysians a truly different and unique taste that's irresistible, the new Kaya Butter Toast flavour will definitely leave you wanting more. It's a local favourite and many are obsessed with the familiar comforting taste.Coconut-y as well as buttery, Kaya Butter Toast is the first ever sweet Twisties corn snack, different from other Twisties snacks previously released. So, you definitely gotta #EmbraceYourObsession and give this one-of-a-kind flavour a try. ;P

In fact, we managed to get our hands on the new flavour. Here's our verdict:

Image via SAYS

Upon opening the packet, we were greeted with a strong enticing waft of kaya — similar to the smell of a fresh bottle of kaya you often get from kopitiams. That got us hungry immediately, not gonna lie. Appearance wise, the crisps look like the typical Twisties corn snacks, except that they don't seem to have much flavouring powder on.But, what matters most is the flavour. We expected a strong taste of kaya, but surprisingly, the taste leaned more towards a savoury buttery flavour, with just a slight hint of coconut-y sweetness. The crunch though, reminded us of biting a piece of crunchy toast coated with lots of butter, yum! Overall, do the corn snacks pay tribute to kaya butter toast? Yep, it does. If you're looking for a familiar yummy snack that boasts your favourite kopitiam delicacy, you'll love the Twisties Kaya Butter Toast! And after trying it, we are now obsessed with the flavour. Must have moreeeeeeee.

Aside from the yummylicious corn snack, Twisties has also taken the kaya butter obsession to another level by giving away limited edition Kaya Butter Toast merchandise, woohoo!

From now until 12 February, Twisties will be giving away a Kaya Butter Toast bicycle and Kaya Butter Toast action figures on their official Facebook and Instagram pages, omggggg. :O Inspired by the unique combination and concept of kaya butter toast, the bicycle and action figures boast elements of the snack that are just oh-so-cute.
