Apabila ditanya caj servis perkhidmatan, kontraktor itu memberitahu RM250. Namun, bajet lelaki itu hanyalah RM120, dia cuba meminta kurang dan menegaskan bahawa dia tidak kisah style pemasangan, asalkan aircond itu sejuk. Sebaik saja kontraktor itu menghantar gambar aircond yang dipasang satu sisi, dia terus terkejut dan bertanya adakah ia betul akan berfungsi dengan baik.

After the dough has been made, she added food colouring and used a kitchen knife to flatten it.

Lelaki Ini Peroleh 10 Manfaat Dan Peluang Bisnes Dari Mengeja Dengan Betul Di Media Sosial

Mungkin kita tak pernah terfikir pun bahawa dengan menulis menggunakan ejaan yang betul di media sosial sebenarnya sangat menguntungkan. Bagaimana? Mari dengarkan perkongsian saudara Khairul Hakimin Muhammad ini:

Image via Khairul Hakimin Muhammad/Facebook

1. Boleh diterjemah dengan mudah

Kesemua tulisan saya di Instagram, blog dan Facebook boleh diterjemah dengan mudah dan difahami lebih dari 200 bahasa di seluruh dunia menggunakan “see translation” yang telah ada disediakan di bahagian bawah setiap posting yang saya muat naik.Malah, sejak saya serius menggunakan ejaan betul, saya dilamar oleh Cookly untuk menyertai mereka menjadi salah seorang tenaga pengajar dalam dunia masakan bagi pengembara yang datang dari luar negara ke Malaysia.Selain itu, saya juga dapat berkenalan dengan ramai rakan-rakan di luar negara dan berkongsi maklumat dengan penulisan santai di media sosial. Antaranya ialah Puan Nimi Sunilkumar (Munnar, India), Pemenang Anugerah Buku Resepi Terbaik Dunia, 2013.

        facebook.com

2. Beri kefahaman optimum

Kesemua tulisan saya juga dapat memberi kefahaman optimum tentang apa yang saya mahu sampaikan. Saya tidak sama sekali menulis sy, ak, aq, x, tk, nk, syg, yg, plg, tlg, utk kerana memastikan setiap apa yang saya mahu sampaikan melalui penulisan dapat dibaca dengan kefahaman yang terbaik.

        facebook.com

3. Tidak perlu diedit

Hampir kesemua artikel yang menjadi viral atau trending tidak perlu diedit atau diperbaiki ejaannya. Malah, artikel yang saya sediakan senang sahaja diambil oleh mereka yang mahu menyebarkannya. Ini membolehkan saya melebarkan sayap penulisan kepada media akhbar dan juga mana-mana penulisan berbentuk rencana.

        facebook.com

Selesai bengkel Penulisan Berpengaruh hari ini. Syukur.   Depa semua dapat add abang sebagai Friends kat FB. Kahkahkah.
Image via Khairul Hakimin Muhammad/Facebook

4. Teguran rakan-rakan

Jika berlaku kesilapan ejaan, rakan-rakan akan menegur dengan sesegera yang mungkin. Mereka faham dan tahu yang saya amat mementingkan ejaan yang betul. Ini menjadikan hampir kesemua tulisan di media sosial saya telah dieja dengan baik dan betul.

        facebook.com

5. Ejaan betul di dalam semua medium

Selama 10 bulan, bermula disember 2015 saya memulakan langkah serius menggunakan semua ejaan betul di dalam berkomunikasi dan bermedia sosial. Ia termasuk mesej, whatsapp, Instagram, blog, email, ruang komen di mana-mana laman sosial termasuk Facebook.Oleh yang demikian, 80% pengikut saya sudah mula mengikut rentak saya untuk menulis dengan ejaan betul kerana saya memegang disiplin sesiapa yang mahu berkomunikasi dengan saya, perlu mengeja dengan betul barulah akan mendapat jawapan komen, emel, PM, whatsapp atau mesej.

        facebook.com

6. Dilamar rumah penerbitan buku dan TV

Saya dilamar lebih tiga rumah penerbitan (buku) dan satu rumah penerbitan (tv) untuk menulis buku dan skrip. Setakat ini saya hanya boleh terima untuk menulis buku sahaja. Skrip masih terlalu jauh untuk difikirkan. Apa pun, Ia bermula dari saya mengeja dengan betul.

        facebook.com

Image via Khairul Hakimin Muhammad/Facebook

7. Dilamar menjadi speaker

Saya juga dilamar untuk berkongsi dengan rakan-rakan yang mengambil jurusan Bahasa Melayu di dua buah university dalam negara dan sebuah kelab ‘art’ luar negara untuk bercakap dan berkongsi tentang keseronokan menggunakan Bahasa melayu sebagai perantara dengan mengeja dan menjaga tatabahasa dengan sebaiknya. Sedangkan ia bukan bidang saya.

        facebook.com

8. Berpuas hati dalam setiap penulisannya

Saya sangat berpuas hati dalam menulis artikel atau apa sahaja ulasan, isu kehidupan, isu serius, penulisan santai atau apa sahaja tips kerana setiap satu yang saya ingin sampaikan mendapat kefahaman yang tinggi tanpa banyak disoal balas kerana tidak berlaku kerosakan ejaan.

        facebook.com

9. Butang "see translation"

Hampir kesemua urusan ‘review’ produk yang saya jalankan di media sosial mendapat tempat dan memberi pulangan baik kepada pelanggan. Kesemua ulasan tersebut saya tulis di dalam Bahasa melayu dan yang paling menarik, ia memberi kesan kepada audien bukan melayu yang ingin mendapatkan produk-produk tersebut. Sekali lagi, butang “see translation” berkesan kerana tiada perkataan yang dieja dengan salah.

        facebook.com

10. Urusan jual beli jadi lebih mudah

Urusan jual beli, memasarkan produk menjadi lebih ringan dan mudah sekali kerana kesemua artikel promosi dieja dengan sebaiknya (memberi kefahaman optimum) tanpa satu pun kerosakan ejaan. Malah, kadang-kadang saya masih menerima jualan walau iklan secara “soft sell” di media sosial berlaku sudah seminggu lalu.Jadi kawan-kawan, serius menulis dengan ejaan yang betul tanpa sedikit pun ringkasan (short form) di mana-mana pun ruang komunikasi. Ia membantu menaikkan kredibiliti, membina pengaruh, membangunkan keupayaan diri dalam berinteraksi.

Malaysian Youth Entrepreneur Seeks Justice For Cousin On Death Row

Last August, former renovation worker Teoh Keat Keong was found guilty of trafficking more than 34kg of methamphetamine on 11 November 2011

Image via Flickr/Jakarta Coconuts

The Star reported that Teoh Keat Keong, 31, merely nodded when the court interpreter translated to him in Hokkien the decision by Judicial Commissioner Wong Teck Meng to sentence him with death penalty after the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt. The High Court found Teoh guilty of trafficking 34.6kg of methamphetamine at a house in Lorong Bukit Juru 4 in Bukit Mertajam at about 11am on 11 November 2014. The judge reportedly said that Teoh claimed that the police had beaten him up and framed him but the court failed to establish any motive as the police officers have never met him before.He added that despite Teoh's claims that he was hired to renovate the house, the police had found two set of keys on him.

However, youth entrepreneur Jazz Tan Yee Mei, who also happens to be Teoh's relative, has revealed a side of the story which differs from the publicised information of the case

Jazz Tan Yee Mei, Chief Executive Officer of YouthsToday.com.

Tan, who is the Chief Executive Officer and founder of YouthsToday.com, took to Facebook on 17 April to share her cousin's story, including the chain of events leading to Teoh's arrest.

Tan's viral post on Facebook detailed Teoh as a loving cousin who was unfortunately burdened with family debts after his father passed away

She recounted how Teoh has always been a loving cousin brother and they have shared many fond memories together. "He has always been there to help, motivate and also care for the family. I was little back then," she wrote. She added that Teoh was offered a full scholarship at Bukit Jalil Sports School to represent Malaysia in the throwing games but unfortunately, he had to turn down the offer because his mother asked him to stay back to help mend the family's fruit stall at Gurney Drive, Penang.Eventually, he dropped out from high school and soon after, his father passed away, leaving the family's debts on Teoh's shoulders. According to Tan, her cousin brother needed to work thrice as hard to take care of his family. "The rising living cost in Malaysia and the state of economy strangled him further. Feeling depressed, the only way he could release stress was to hang out with his friends at computer cafes or clubs."

While Teoh was drowning in frustration, Tan said that someone offered her cousin a job in the renovation industry with the promise of a better life

She said that a man had approached her cousin to work for him one day. The man told Teoh that all his financial worries will be sorted out if he worked for him.  "The man offered him (Teoh) a job and the privilege to sort out his family debts and provide his mother a better life. The man offered him a job in the renovation industry," Tan wrote.  Her cousin accepted the job offer.

Months after he accepted the job, the police arrested Teoh and found drugs in a house that he claimed he was  renovating

Tan said that her cousin was suddenly ambushed by the police and was beaten up while he was shopping in Penang. She added that her cousin was beaten up by the police when they ambushed him.  "The police later took him to the house that he was renovating and drugs were found in the house," she continued.

"Help me share (the Facebook post) to keep him alive and put pressure on the government to get justice for him," Tan wrote.

In her Facebook post, Tan said that her cousin told her to tell his story after the announcement of his death penalty from the high court.  Tan said that her cousin has one year left for the final appeal before he will face execution.  She urged everyone who come across her post to share it as a wake-up call for Malaysia to look into the justice system and the practice of death penalty.  "I will not give up on my cousin brother. My family and I are fighting to our last breath to at least keep him alive. We are submitting our final appeal to the highest federal court to pardon him from death," Tan said.

Many netizens who read the story have expressed their support and sympathy towards Tan and her cousin

However, some were skeptical of Tan's story and think that the story remains one-sided

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

One particular person pointed out that Tan's post is intended to rally for the abolishment of the death penalty rather than saying that her cousin is innocent

Image via Facebook

On 15 April, Tan had posted a status on her Facebook page saying that she felt sad after hearing that her cousin brother was sentenced to death penalty for drug trafficking."His last words to me was to help as many people so that they will not end up in his position. He said, "As much as you are in need of cash, never ever take the short cuts in life"," she wrote.

Malaysia, along with many other Southeast Asian countries, has one of the strictest anti-drug laws

Image via Crown Logistics

According to the Malaysian drugs law, anyone who is caught in possession of 30 gram or more of Methamphetamine will be presumed as trafficking drugs.  Anyone that is found guilty of trafficking in drugs will face the death penalty while suspects caught with controlled substances will face long jail sentences and heavy fines are mandatory. Besides Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam have laws that may punish drug offenders with the death penalty.


Report: RM1 Million For Orphans Was Misappropriated To Pay Legal Fees For Najib's Aide

In 2017, a total of RM1 million meant to help orphans were allegedly misappropriated to pay legal fees of a lawyer, who was also an aide to former prime minister Najib Razak, according to a news report

The report by The Malaysian Insight said that the funds were entrusted to the Malaysian Islamic Economic Development Foundation (YAPEIM) and that they were allegedly used for legal fees involving a suit against the charity trust fund.YAPEIM is supported by the government with the prime minister as its patron."According to discussion notes on the financial expenditure of YAPEIM, the money was channelled to settle legal fees to the lawyer, who was an advisor to former prime minister Najib, as well as a director for YAPEIM in 2017."The case involved a suit by founders for the Foundation for the Advancement of Orphans and the Poor (PEMANGKIN), who charged that YAPEIM had used its funds to sponsor former minister in the prime minister's department Jamil Khir Baharom to trips to Europe, the United States and Australia," The Malaysian Insight reported.

Image via The NYT via Athit Perawongmetha/Reuters

As per the report, the lawyer allegedly intended to shut down PEMANGKIN, which was placed under YAPEIM to bury the scandal

The Malaysian Insight reported that the founders of PEMANGKIN filed the suit in March 2017, alleging that the lawyer had intended to shut down the foundation"The lawyer was a member of YAPEIM's board of trustees from 2017-2019 and a former director for the strategic planning department of the Prime Minister’s Department."Apart from the lawyer, PEMANGKIN also sued the former minister Jamil Khir and five other board of directors of YAPEIM," the news portal reported today, 11 May.

The payments were allegedly made in stages and small amounts in order to avoid the approval of the YAPEIM board of directors

"The lawyer was found to have made payments exceeding RM1 million in several tranches to two different law firms, in small amounts each time."The legal fees did not get the approval from the YAPEIM board of directors; in fact, the payments made to the lawyers did not exceed RM50,000 (each time) to avoid having to get the approval of the board of directors," The Malaysian Insight reported.

Image via YAPEIM

Following the news report, Najib took to his Facebook page to allege that the portal's use of his photo and his name was an "evil propaganda" aimed at tarnishing his image on the polling day

"The name and photo of Najib were used although this issue has nothing to do with Najib. And the payment of legal fees to defend YAPEIM and its board members in a suit was alleged as 'misappropriation'."This is their way. It does not matter if it is the month of Ramadan or not," Najib said in the Facebook post, as reported by Malaysiakini.

This Cop's Face Lifting A Bag During The Raid At Najib's Place Says It All

While the police have raided several places linked to former pm Najib Razak in connection with the investigation into the 1MDB case, one particular photo from the ongoing raids have gone viral

The photo, taken by China Press, shows a group of police personnel loading a luggage bag on a trolly with one of them appearing to give his everything to lift it up.

Image via 大马时事新闻

Said to mostly contain hard cash in various currencies, there ain't anything in this world that's more heavy than that bag

Image via 大马时事新闻

As someone on Reddit joked:

Comment from discussion One of the best photo in dawn raid of Najib's place at Pavilion. Taken by China Press..

"Do you even lift, brah?"

Image via 大马时事新闻

Or could it be that the fella isn't lifting just an ordinary bag but something much more powerful than what meets our mortal eyes?

However, jokes aside, as one Malaysian tweeted:

Imagine what are the contents of that one single luggage bag that required 3 police officers to lift?You have every right to be angry, folks. pic.twitter.com/kJJy5keQWo— Khabir (@KhabirM) May 18, 2018

The raid has seen the cops carting away a massive haul consisting of 284 boxes of designer handbags, 72 bags of cash, and several jewellery items after transporting them into five Black Maria trucks

"Who Is Mr Hu?" - Sender Name On Shopee Parcels Sparks Discussion Among Netizens

The pandemic has definitely made more Malaysians get used to the idea of shopping online from the comfort of their own home

Interestingly, the surge in online shopping has also led to a funny observation among many online shoppers.A Tweet recently went viral, garnering nearly 20,000 likes and 17,000 retweets, with netizens noticing that all of their Shopee parcels from China came from the same sender: Mr Hu.

Image via @ellezamuri (Twitter)

Netizens laughed at the realisation and shared pictures of their own parcels

"I just got this today. Thank you, Mr Hu," said a Twitter user.

Image via @yana_4eva (Twitter)

Another immediately ran back to pick up her parcel wrappers after seeing the Tweet."Yes, I bought these all from different shops but the sender is still the same Mr Hu. How have I never realised?" they wondered.

Image via @umailopekat (Twitter)

Meanwhile, an amused netizen shared that all of their colleague's numerous parcels that day came from the one and only Mr Hu.

Image via @helloysrd (Twitter)

All this begs the question: Who is Mr Hu?

Some netizens had their own explanations.Someone said it was most likely that Mr Hu is the manager of the Shopee warehouse in China."Guys, for your information, all the items that we buy from Shopee, especially from sellers from China, will be directed to a warehouse. The original sellers don't handle the shipping," a netizen explained."So it goes like this: The original seller or supplier will send your shopping to a warehouse, and the people at the warehouse (I bet Mr Hu) handles the shipping.""I'm sure Mr Hu is the manager of the warehouse, which is why all parcels from China to Malaysia are sent in his name. But imagine, how big must that warehouse be," the netizen added.

Image via @meyyaevans (Twitter)

Another netizen said it may be likely that Mr Hu is a large supplier of goods in China who had many dropshippers, or sellers, on Shopee."If you guys would like to know, we can become dropshippers on Shopee. Many shops on Shopee are dropshippers. That is why Mr Hu is always the sender, maybe he is the supplier, while many people are his dropshippers," they explained.

Image via @zehangg (Twitter)

Either way, it seems to be true as there are other generic names that are specific to other countries and localities too

"If your parcels come from Korea, it has to be Mr Dongjoo Lee," pointed out a Twitter user.

Image via @daniel_ickyun (Twitter)

And someone else brought attention to another common name from China: a Mr Chu Wise from Shanghai."I think it depends on which warehouse your parcel is sent to. If it is sent to Shenzhen, then it'll be Mr Hu, and if it is sent to Shanghai, then it'll be Mr Chu Wise," said a netizen.

Image via @Just_PCEW (Twitter)

Well, even if you're just a name, thank you for your services, Mr Hu!

Image via GIPHY

Sometimes, shopping online is a gamble and you'll never know what you'll get:

Health Ministry Allows Private Clinics To Set Their Own Consultation Fees

On Friday, 6 December, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced that doctors at private clinics will now be allowed to fix their own consultation fees

In a report by Free Malaysia Today, it was reported that Cabinet has agreed to deregulate the fee structure, thus allowing the charges to be controlled by the free market.Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said that this move would increase the citizens' right to choose their own doctors, as well as hopefully stimulate the private healthcare sector.

However, the clinics must clearly display the consultation fees so that patients are well informed about the treatment cost

According to Dr Dzulkefly, patients should also evaluate for themselves if the doctor's consultation fees are reasonable.“If patients are not happy with the charges or services received in any of the private facilities, they can lodge a complaint with the Private Medical Practice Control Section at [email protected]," Dzulkefly said, as quoted by The Star.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

The deregulation of the fee structure is a historic move as the consultation fees for doctors and dentists at private clinics have remained the same for the last 27 years

The regulation has been a particularly contentious issue for private healthcare practitioners, especially as the cost of living increased over the period.According to Free Malaysia Today, doctors and dentists from private clinics are limited to charging between RM10 and RM35 per consultation, whereas their counterparts at private hospitals are able to charge between RM30 and RM125 per consultation.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) called the deregulation of the fee structure a "bold decision"

MMA also believes that this decision would benefit the public and the healthcare ecosystem as a whole."A free market gives the public the power to decide on the type of value-based services they would like to receive," MMA president Dr N Ganabaskaran was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.

However, MMA has urged doctors to not undercut each other with their professional charges as it will only compromise their services

"Doctors must emphasise on quality patient-centred care at all times and charge reasonably," the MMA president was quoted as saying by The Star.

Last month, MOH announced that Government clinics will have cashless payment facilities nationwide in the next two years:

                Health Minister Says Government Clinics Will Go Cashless In The Next Two Years

This is in line with the government's mission to transform Malaysia into a cashless society.

[PHOTOS] Dog Shelter Uses Creative 'Muttbombing' Tactic For Dogs Looking For A Home

No matter where you stand on its rise to cultural prominence, there's no denying the power of the selfie

Whether a sign of the new narcissism, a new art form or simply just a new way to say "hello, this is me," the pose is an Instagram staple and it's about time someone found a way to use it for the power of good.

        fastcocreate.com

Enter Dallas Pets Alive!

DallasPetsAlive and their "Mutt Bombing" Project is by far one of the best marketing/Instagram campaigns we have seen from a shelter, let alone any organization

Image via tumblr.com

Mutt Bombing is similar to photo bombing. It happens when someone (in this case a dog) gets into your photo without you realizing it.

Image via tumblr.com

The campaign was created by the agency Dieste to try and show people a different side of the dogs that have often been left behind by their previous owners

DPA executive director Leslie Sans said in a statement, “When it comes to finding homes for shelter pets, you have to really get creative. So we’re trying to show a different side of our pets through a fun and virtual interaction.”

        psfk.com

Image via psfk.com

Apart from the unexpected presence of a cute little four-legged friend, each picture also comes with a comment voiced as if the dog were introducing itself

Image via tumblr.com

Not only that, but it often has something to say about a particular pose, or location choice of the selfie that has just been taken

Image via prdaily.com

Besides being a fun way to raise awareness for animal shelters and adoption, it's also a lesson for selfie addicts on how the presence of a dog makes you look like waaaay less of a self-absorbed twit.

The Amazing Photos Of Depressed Disney Princesses That Don't Wind Up Happily Ever After

Unhappy ending, Snow White's real life

In the words of the artist, “They’ve lost their kingdom and they’ve been exiled to suburbia, so they end up in suburbia with no domestic help, and Snow White is again back to working as hard as she was in her childhood—and she hates it."

        huffingtonpost.com

Snow White

"The prince has to deal with the recession and losing his job, and not finding a new one, and that affects his ego, so he’s very depressed. So now, Snow White is trapped in domestic hell.”

Ariel is merely a display in an aquarium

“Here, we have Ariel, who, because she’s so unique and beautiful, has been captured and put on display in an aquarium. We tend to capture beautiful things and use them for our pleasure, and that was really the idea for the shot—the human inclination toward using beautiful creatures for our own entertainment."

        bustle.com

Ariel

"This project was created with no budget, so I had to do what I had to do to make a picture come together. What I did is I shot the tank separately, photographed Ariel in studio with a green screen, and then we composited the two together.”

        thedailybeast.com

The forever sleeping beauty

The artist says, “She’s still sleeping and never woke up, and everyone around her ended up getting old and gray. And the prince kept waiting for her to wake up."

Trying hard to preserve her beauty, Belle goes under the knife

“I have a backstory for everybody. In Belle’s case, she was always the most beautiful girl in the village and her whole life people paid attention to her beauty. Then, she ends up being a pawn for her beauty, and living in a cold castle, very isolated from the rest of the world. All she has is her beauty to fall back on."

        malaysiandigest.com

Belle

"Of course, we all eventually start to age and lose that, and Belle is struggling to deal with it. I’m in my 40s, and it’s a very hard thing to grasp that 10 years ago you looked one way, and now you look another way, and it’s downhill from here on out. Now, do you age gracefully and let nature take its course, or do you intervene? And Belle, of course, intervened.”

Little Red Riding Hood is pictured in the woods sipping on a large fountain drink and cradling a picnic basket of fast food

“I like to call this one Not So Little Red Riding Hood. Her whole life, Little Red Riding Hood took care of her mother and grandmother and never did anything for herself, or took the time to be good to herself; she’s always giving to others. And she gets to a point where she just doesn’t care anymore, and then when she goes over to her grandmother’s house, she takes over McDonald’s because it’s fast, and convenient."

Aladdin's love interest Jasmine is depicted as a modern warrior carrying a huge gun in the middle of a war zone

Prasarana Investigates Video Of 'Staff' Allegedly Slapping A Man For Stealing Cup Noodles

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

Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is investigating two recent videos showing a man in their company's uniform assaulting an individual at a convenience store in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

In a statement on Tuesday, 29 March, the public transportation company assured that they have launched an immediate investigation into the incident."We take the allegation that the offender is a Prasarana staff seriously based on the uniform worn in the video," they said.They also asserted that the offender's behaviour is contrary to the company's code of work ethic."Prasarana also apologises for this incident and assures that appropriate follow-up action will be taken to ensure that such things will not happen again in the future," they said.

According to the two short videos of the incident, it is believed the assault victim ate two cups of instant noodles in a 7-Eleven store without paying for it

An auxiliary policeman and a man — in the recognisable red-coloured Prasarana uniform — are then seen roughing up and berating the man for the crime, with the latter purportedly slapping the victim twice in the back of the head.Although the video does not catch the physical assault, two slapping sounds are heard after the man in the uniform is seen swinging his hand as the victim falls forward.The victim can be heard begging as the two men insist that he pay for the food.

The police have also initiated an investigation into the assault and have recorded statements from three witnesses

"Preliminary investigations found that no assault occurred, however, a detailed investigation is ongoing," said Cheras district police chief ACP Muhammad Idzam Jaafar in a statement on Wednesday, 30 March, as quoted by Free Malaysia Today.He said the auxiliary police officer has also lodged a police report denying that any assault took place.Muhammad Idzam urged those with information regarding the incident to come forward and contact the Cheras district police department at +603-92845050 or the Kuala Lumpur police hotline at +603-21159999.Prasarana has also encouraged those with information to call them at +603-78852585 or e-mail them at [email protected]

10,000 North Koreans Allegedly Surrender Themselves To Authorities For Watching K-Drama

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

10,000 North Korean students have turned themselves in to authorities for watching K-dramas and movies, as well as listening to K-pop music

This is in line with the 'anti-reactionary thought' law that was imposed by the hermit country in December 2020.Singapore news portal TODAYonline stated that the number of students turning themselves in was updated on 28 April.Around 5,000 DVD players were also allegedly turned over to the government in return for a lighter sentence.

The 'anti-reactionary thought' law is said to be North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's initiative to boost the standard of homegrown and state-owned media, reported TODAYonline

According to Daily NK, the law adopted by the North Korean government four months ago "comprehensively strengthens controls on not only the entry and distribution of outside information such as news and foreign cultural materials, but also the outflow of internal information such as propaganda materials idolising the regime".The law bans a wide range of foreign media consumptions, such as listening to, recording, or distributing foreign radio broadcasts.It also covers acts of importing and distributing foreign recordings which are considered "impure". Video content, books, or other published material all fall under the scope of the law, Daily NK added.This also includes copying or distributing music unapproved by the state, which includes K-pop.TODAYonline reported that the country's supreme leader purportedly dislikes the usage of the term 'oppa' — which means 'big brother' — when referring to non-relatives, like how South Koreans have been doing out of habit.This also applies to the term 'dongsaeng' which translates to 'younger brother' or 'younger sister'.

Famous South Korean dramas such as 'Crash Landing On You', 'Itaewon Class', and 'Hospital Playlist'.

Those who have broken the law will be sentenced to a 15-year term in forced labour camps

TODAYonline also reported that parents of the child who has violated the law will have to pay a fine.Those who are caught importing banned material from South Korea could face life imprisonment.Meanwhile, those who import similar media items from the US or Japan could be sentenced to death.The law is allegedly a response to the growing interest amongst North Koreans in South Korean television programmes and films in the wake of the closure of the Sino-North Korean Border, reported Daily NK.

The dramatic escape of a North Korean soldier who defected to South Korea was caught on video a few years back:

Rapid Bus has collaborated with the web mapping service to release this new feature to help users plan their trips more efficiently.Commuters will now be able to check the real-time location of Rapid KL buses along almost 170 routes in Klang Valley on the app.This feature is also available for other bus lines operated by Prasarana, including LRT feeder buses, Go KL, and select Smart Selangor bus routes.

Meanwhile, Mosseri also announced that the platform will be removing the 'Following' activity tab
