Ini 7 Cara Saya 'Struggle' Untuk Hidup Dalam Negara Barang Serba Naik Ini

Naik naik naik!
Itulah perkataan yang sering kita dengar sejak akhir-akhir ini. Harga petrol naik, harga minyak masak naik. Bila dah jadi macam ni, confirmlah harga barang pun akan naik. Betul tak?

Apabila semua benda naik, taraf hidup pun makin naik tetapi gaji belum tentu akan naik. Mungkin bagi mereka yang bergaji besar tidak begitu terkesan dengan perkara ini. Tetapi bagaimana pula mereka yang bergaji kecil. Apakah perkara yang boleh dilakukan untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup?

Setiap orang mempunyai cabaran hidup berbeza-beza. Tetapi setiap orang boleh mengubah taraf hidup mereka. Bagaimana? Mari kita ikuti 7 cara lelaki ini.

Susah benar nak komen tentang kenaikan harga. Ia suasana yang amat-amat buat kita menyampah dengan apa alasan yang diberi. Hakikatnya nak tak nak kena beli juga minyak. Sama ada minyak kereta atau minyak masak.Yang geramnya, asal menyokong dikata macai kerajaan. Asal tidak, ia terus dituduh sebagai pencacai pembangkang. Label-label begini semakin sudah tidak digemari lagi oleh generasi hari ini. Anak muda (bawah umur 40 tahun) lebih cenderung untuk memikirkan bagaimana mahu hidup berbanding bising-bising namun tidak berbuat apa-apa.Kematangan kita diuji dengan perkara yang bertindan-tindan. Sudahlah gaji kecil, kenaikan tahunan nak dapat 10% dari gaji pun 100 tahun sekali, syarikat pula melebar sayap, banyak pelaburan, duit banyak keluar, kerja pula semakin banyak, nak buat 2-3 kerja sekali bos pula tak kasi, internet di office kena block dan sebagainya.Ya Tuhan inilah negara yang sedang kita diami hari ini.Asasnya ialah kita perlu juga hidup, sama ada hidup melarat ikut sahaja apa yang mereka kata, atau hidup melawan dengan kebijaksanaan.Semua orang ada 24 jam yang sama. Semua orang juga ada kehidupan. Cuma boleh nampak beza orang itu ini. Kenapa yang itu boleh begitu, kenapa yang ini masih begini. Baik, ini beberapa perkara yang saya boleh belajar dalam tempoh beberapa tahun saya struggle untuk hidup dalam negara barang naik ini.

1. Mula berniaga dengan membuat bisnes trading

Yeah, nampak sahaja macam susah, namun ia sememangnya sangat mudah untuk dibuat. Semasa saya bertugas di Kelantan pada tahun 2007-2010, gaji saya lepas tolak macam-macam termasuk fikir nak kena sedia duit setiap kali balik Bangi atau Mentakab, adalah dalam 100-200 sahaja baki.Jadi saya beli tudung, narita, tikar, kaftan dan batik sutera setiap kali gaji dan bawa balik. Awal dahulu di Facebook tidak berapa berjaya untuk menjual. Saya banyak letak di wkhwm.blogspot.com dan ia berjaya.Jualan paling tinggi waktu itu ialah RM19,000 sebulan. Kahkah, kau ada? Hanya rolling sekitar RM1,000 duit gaji sahaja.Selepas itu, siap berjaya daftar SSM dengan nama Afwaz Trading. Dan kini diuruskan oleh adik yang buat trading tudung Akel dari Turki.Saya masih tidak berhenti kerja sehingga hari ini.

2. Bisnes biar yang membantu orang

Walau kau tidak berkenan, ia mungkin menjana kewangan. Sebagai contoh kita ambil bagaimana Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Lee Kong Chian mengusahakan perniagaannya.Anak kelahiran tanah besar China ini kemudiannya datang ke Singapura dan membuka kilang getah di Malaysia. Pada tahun 1928, beliau membuka kilang getah pertama di Muar, yang mana selepas 3 tahun barulah kilang tersebut beroperasi.Pada waktu itu, negara kita ini memulakan pertanian tanah getah. Dan, Tan Sri Lee telah membuka Lee Rubber dengan mengeluarkan ‘rubber band’ atau getah gelang yang biasa kita buat untuk mengikat barang. Ikat rambut pun boleh.Sehingga hari ini, syarikat tersebut dikatakan telah bernilai lebih RM1.2 Billion. Dan getah gelang tersebut masih ada di setiap kedai runcit, pasaraya dan semua kedai di seluruh negara.Di Singapura, terdapat Muzium untuk Tan Sri, dan ia menjadi kenangan besar buat generasi hari ini bagaimana Tan Sri dan keluarganya membuka bisnes hanya untuk membantu orang lain memudahkan kerja-kerja seharian.Sama juga dengan produk seperti Tupperware, beg plastic, bento, dan lain-lain lagi. Ingat kawan, bisnes adalah tentang membantu keperluan orang. Bukan untuk apa yang kita minat dan suka semata-mata.Untuk hari ini yang semakin mencabar, fikirkan bagaimana nak bantu orang lain dari mengelak menggunakan minyak masak yang banyak atau terpaksa keluar untuk membeli barangan dan mengisi minyak kenderaan.Oleh sebab itu kehadiran para runner dan kawan-kawan yang menyediakan makanan dari kedai dan boleh membuat penghantaran akan membantu kalian. Kan?

3. Bisnes dan kerja perlu seiring dan tidak mengganggu antara satu sama lain

Jika kita pilih untuk bekerja dan dalam masa sama mahu buat kerja sampingan, maka kalian perlu tetapkan disiplin yang cukup tinggi untuk jaga kedua-duanya serentak.Waktu kerja, perlu kerja dengan sebaiknya. 8.00 pagi hingga 5.30 petang waktu kerja, jadi pilih waktu rehat sahaja untuk melakukan kerja-kerja lain. Tidak boleh langsung mengganggu kerja semasa dengan kerja sampingan. Buat jadual dan susun sebaik-baiknya.Kebiasaannya kerja sampingan akan menjadi lebih disukai kerana tidak punya arahan, tidak punya KPI namun ia beri pendapatan tunai yang boleh nampak depan mata. Berbanding duit gaji yang dapat segedebuk dan habis selepas bersalam dengan bank-bank.Oleh itu, kita akan menjurus kepada keseronokan di tempat kerja sampingan berbanding kerja sebenar. Relaks kawan, kerja sebenar tetap kena ada rasa bersungguh dan dibuat dengan betul. Dan kalian perlu beringat, jika kerja sampingan sudah boleh menampung kehidupan, fikir baik-baik untuk tumpu 200% di situ dan tinggalkan kerja sebenar. Seboleh-bolehnya bertahan lebih dari 2 tahun sebelum buat keputusan untuk berhenti kerja.

4. Pergi belajar, tambah ilmu dan tingkatkan kemahiran

Waktu susah begini, pergi belajar dan buat pelaburan dengan hadir ke kelas-kelas, bukan mencampak duit ke dengan membuka kedai / gerai untuk dicuba dengan gaya try and error.Jadi kebiasaan, bisnes sebegini akan tutup kurang dari 3 bulan. Apabila tidak ada pengajian, tidak ada ilmu dan tidak langsung mengambil berat tentang kelas-kelas dan pengetahuan dalam asas bisnes, memang bisnes akan kelaut.Kalian perlu ingat, pengalaman menguatkan ilmu. Jika pengalaman hanya bergantung sesama sendiri. Ia boleh jadi sangat rapuh apabila ada badai yang membantai.

        facebook.com

5. Hati kena kental

Jiwa kena keras. Bab ini yang menguatkan diri ialah dengan banyak membaca dan membuat kajian. Apabila kita ada semuanya dalam kepala, amat mudah untuk kita membuat sesuatu perkara dengan baik.Perbanyakkan membaca tentang industry apa yang sedang naik, dalam tempoh beberapa tahun apa yang akan masuk ke dalam negara dan apa yang akan kita alami. Semuanya perlu ada dihujung jari supaya kita alert dan sentiasa bertenang dalam merancang sesuatu perkara.Untuk bulan pertama hingga bulan ke-6, biasanya kita akan berada di paras ‘storm’ dalam bisnes. Banyak perkara nak diubahsuai, ada yang sukar nak dilakukan, dan krisis antara kerja sebenar dan kerja sampingan akan sentiasa membelenggu diri. Oleh itu, banyak-banyak membaca dan tenangkan diri dengan banyak bergaul dengan kawan-kawan yang seiring pemikirannya.Ia bukan sekadar membantu. Ia juga dapat menyelesaikan masalah-masalah dengan sebaik-baiknya.Ingat kawan, buku sesuatu yang menjadi ubat dikala kita sedang dalam kesusahan. Berkawanlah baik-baik dengan makhluk tersebut.

        facebook.com

6. Jadi promoter bukan salesman

Banyak-banyak bersembang dan bermedia sosial dengan membuat ulasan tentang produk. Bukan menjual semata-mata. Jika kita banyak menjual, kebanyakkan kawan-kawan dan sesiapa sahaja akan menunjukkan sifat tidak suka dan tidak berminat.Oleh itu, mulakan diri menjadi promoter. Cerita tentang produk, cerita tentang pembangunan diri dan kredibiliti apa yang kita sudah capai setiap hari.Gunakan beberapa teknik pemasaran seperti copy-writing, soft sell dan story telling. Ia jauh lebih memberi kesan dari menjual-jual tanpa ada ilmu pengetahuan.

7. Fikir dan buat perkara yang kita boleh kawal

Akhir sekali, fikir dan buat perkara yang kita boleh kawal sahaja. Yang tidak, terus letak tepi. Kita boleh kawal diri kita dari menggunakan segala benda yang telah naik harga. Yang naik akan terus naik, kita pula kena teruskan hidup walau macam-macam hal orang tidak suka.Kita punya kehidupan, kita yang perlu buat keputusan. Tidaklah nanti apabila sudah bersusah-susah, kita menyalah-nyalah antara satu sama lain.Kita boleh buat bisnes, berniaga dan lakukan yang baik-baik untuk bantu isi rumah. Yang mereka nak naikkan harga dan mempermainkan hati kita bolehlah kita tukar semasa pilihanraya nanti. Itu juga adalah sesuatu perkara yang kita boleh kawal. Kan?Jadi kawan-kawan, berhenti merungut. Kita jalan terus dan bangunkan ekonomi isi rumah. Jika isi rumah terjaga duit masuk dan duit keluar, masyarakat juga semakin ok. Dan kita semua hidup dengan cukup baik untuk terus dapat besarkan anak-anak dalam dunia yang semakin mencabar ini.Kawan, kekal positif dan jalan terus!

Kenapa Takaful Lagi Mahal Daripada Insurans Tapi 'Coverage' Lagi Sikit? Ini 4 Sebab Utama

Segelintir masyarakat ada yang menganggap bahawa takaful yang bersifat Islamik ini sebenarnya tidak Islamik, kerana menawarkan "harga yahudi" yang lebih mahal berbanding insurans konvensional

Image via giphy.com

Dakwaan ini sebenarnya tidak tepat dan bersifat berat sebelah. Mungkin pihak yang mendakwa itu pernah menilai tawaran takaful dan insurans konvensional pada masa yang sama, kemudian setelah melihat premium takaful lebih tinggi, maka terus takaful mendapat label "harga yahudi" berkenaan.Kalau diikutkan, ada banyak kes di mana insurans konvensional lebih mahal berbanding takaful. Tak semestinya sebaliknya.

Tapi kebiasaannya, premium bulanan untuk takaful memang lebih mahal daripada insurans konvensional jika pelanggan ingin menikmati perlindungan yang sama

Image via eztakaful.com.my

Maksudnya di sini, bayaran bulanan RM200 untuk insurans konvensional selalunya akan memberi lebih banyak perlindungan kepada pelanggan berbanding RM200 untuk takaful.Sekali dengar, rasa macam tak adil. Bagaimana pula takaful yang bersifat Islamik ini boleh mengecas premium yang lebih mahal berbanding produk bukan Islamik? Namun jika difahamkan betul-betul konsep dan kedudukan takaful dan insurans konvensional dalam pasaran, pasti kita semua boleh terima kenyataan ini.

Apa yang menyebabkan takaful selalunya lebih mahal? Baca di bawah:

1. Jumlah pelanggan takaful tidak cukup ramai

Image via ibanding.com

Insurans konvensional telah bertapak lebih lama di Malaysia berbanding takaful yang baru mula berkembang sejak beberapa tahun lepas. Ini menjadikan jumlah pelanggan dalam produk insurans konvensional lebih ramai berbanding dengan produk takaful.Buktinya, kadar penembusan insurans konvensional adalah lebih tinggi iaitu 45% berbanding kadar penembusan takaful pada 14%-15% setakat ini.

2. Tahap kesedaran pelanggan Melayu Muslim masih rendah

Gambar sekadar hiasan
Image via hibahharta.com

Tahap kesedaran perlindungan takaful di kalangan orang Melayu Muslim masih sangat rendah. Bagi majoriti orang Melayu, takaful ialah bebanan untuk mereka, berbanding tahap kesedaran insurans bagi bangsa Cina terutamanya, insurans adalah keperluan, bukan bebanan.Jadi, ini menyebabkan orang Melayu kurang kesedaran terhadap takaful dan penembusannya sangat rendah.

3. Kadar tuntutan dan pembatalan yang tinggi

Walaupun jumlah pelanggan insurans konvensional lebih tinggi, jumlah kadar tuntutan pula sebaliknya. Industri takaful menerima tuntutan yang tinggi disebabkan pelanggan yang pernah claim akan pastikan polisi terus berjalan dan membayar caruman, manakala orang yang sihat pula berasa rugi mencarum takaful jika tidak claim.Kadar lapse atau pembatalan polisi takaful juga tinggi kerana ramai yang tidak meneruskan selepas beberapa tahun melanggan kerana beranggapan “rugi sebab tak berlaku apa-apa”.

4. Tabung tabarruk susut dan perlu kekal relevan

Image via bertampadu.com

Situasi-situasi di atas menyebabkan tabungan takaful yang dipanggil 'tabung tabarruk' semakin menyusut. Apabila ia berlaku, harga produk terpaksa dinaikkan bagi memastikan ia terus relevan dan tidak berlaku kerugian kepada syarikat.Harus diingat, konsep asal takaful ialah berkongsi risiko dan saling membantu antara satu sama lain. Jadi bila terjadinya susut nilai, syarikat terpaksa mengecas lebih kepada pelanggan.

Walaupun perlindungan takaful tidak sama banyak jika dibandingkan dengan insurans konvensional, kita sebagai Muslim tetap perlu memilih takaful

Image via globalethicalbanking.com

Kita hanya dibenarkan mengambil produk insurans konvensional sekiranya negara yang kita duduki itu tidak menawarkan sebarang produk takaful langsung untuk dilanggan.Jadi di Malaysia, tidak ada sebab untuk Muslim melanggan insurans konvensional kerana kita mempunyai pelbagai pilihan takaful untuk dijadikan sebagai pelan perlindungan.

Hate Waiting For YouTube Videos To Load? Here Are 6 Hacks For Faster Streaming

We've all been there - you're watching a YouTube video when all of a sudden, it pauses and starts buffering… especially when the video starts to get good!

Image via Reaction GIFS

Not forgetting those who can't even stream a YouTube video from the beginning, we're sorry.

Sometimes, it could be a fault on YouTube's end. But for the most part, it's the Internet connection.

Image via YoungIsThan

Luckily, there are some things you can do to make YouTube videos stream faster before you throw your computer out of the window:

1. Check if there's anything hogging the Internet bandwidth

Image via HowStuffWorks

If YouTube videos are slowing down at your home, check if there's anything else that's hogging the network. You may not know it, it could be your roommate, siblings or even your neighbors! Many Internet connections can only handle so much bandwidth.You also could disconnect all devices from the network while they are not in use. Additional computers and other devices can slow down a video stream considerably.

2. Clear up your browser's cache and Internet files

Image via EduOne

Cache refers to a repository of data that helps web browsers display web pages faster, while cookies are little pieces of code used to track your online behavior. Over time, both the cache and cookies can bloat over and affect browser performance. This is why it is recommended that you clear your cache and cookies regularly. After that, restart your browser and YouTube should load just fine.

        udemy.com

3. Plug into an ethernet connection if you can

Image via WIRED

While Wi-Fi provides a convenient way to connect the computers in your home without dealing with the hassle of wires, but Wi-Fi is also slow and unreliable compared to a wired connection. But a lot of Wi-Fi connections can choke on streaming HD content. Not only will your picture be less than stellar, but movies can take a while to buffer before they become watchable depending on how far you are from the router, how much interference you have, and so on. A straight wired connection will always get you crystal clear HD and quick streaming, so you don't ever have to worry about seeing a "buffering" message.

        lifehacker.com

4. If you don't have an ethernet cable, sitting closer to the router might work

Image via ZDNET

If you can’t connect to ethernet because you don't have a cable, The next best thing to do is sit closer to the router. The farther you are away from the router, the weaker your internet connection gets, especially if there are walls between you and the router.Sitting closer to the router will improve your internet connection and could be the difference.

5. Try watching YouTube videos in lower quality

Image via GetIntoPc

YouTube videos come in different video formats like 480p, 720p, 1080p and 4k ultra HD. If you are on an excellent internet connection, you can of course enjoy the highest video quality while if not and you want to stay away from the YouTube buffering problem, you are suggested to shift the YouTube to a lower video quality format to suit the lower connection and play YouTube videos faster. For users with slow internet, YouTube has introduced the 144p video quality stream which can help load YouTube videos faster.

        macxdvd.com

6. When all else fails, restart EVERYTHING!

Image via HowToGeek

If none of the above seem to be working, simply restarting your router and/or your computer can give everything a fresh start. Restarting a router is good to do every few weeks anyway, because it clears out any leftover internet crud that’s been building up When you restart a router, it’s recommended that you do it the thorough way, which is to shut it off and unplug it from its power source for at least 30 seconds. Then plug it back in and turn it on. You’ll want to give it a couple of minutes to completely start back up, but once it’s up and running again, you should be greeted with a fresh internet connection where you don’t have to deal with sputtering YouTube videos anymore.

5 Myths About Your Laptop Battery You Need To Stop Believing

Battery life is one of the most important considerations for many of us when buying a laptop. No one wants to own a device that runs out of juice within a few hours of surfing or Netflix.

Image via Giphy

While there are certain truths when it comes to battery life, there are also several "rules" that you can simply ignore, like:

MYTH #1: Disconnecting the charger when battery is full, or you'll risk damaging it

Image via Shutterstock

TRUTH: Most laptops today use lithium-ion batteries. Overcharging batteries is not a problem and does not affect the battery lifespan. These batteries can be charged 300 to 500 times, and they have an internal circuit to stop the charging process at full charge. The control system prevents overcharging, which can cause the battery to overheat and potentially burn. The only way for the battery to overcharge is if the charging system malfunctions. This will result in the battery to heat up, so make sure you keep your laptop in a cool environment.

MYTH #2: You should fully discharge your battery before charging it again

Image via Gold Mine Success

TRUTH: This myth only applies to older nickel-based batteries. Fully discharging and charging the battery doesn't apply to the batteries today.Newer laptops use lithium-ion batteries which work much better and last longer than their nickel predecessors. First of all, they are not susceptible to the memory effect which means you can recharge them at any time. In fact, lithium-ions will last longer if you never allow them to fully discharge. Laptops can get a bit confused by these discharges and may show you wrong estimates for how long your laptop’s battery will last.

MYTH #3: Manufacturer battery life claims are accurate

Image via Venture Beat

TRUTH: Claims are normally benchmarked results given under specific circumstances – take them with a pinch of salt.According to Advanced Micro Devices, an American multinational semiconductor company, the problem with most battery life claims stems from the wide use of a test called MobileMark 2007. The parameters for this test include having the screen at just 20 percent brightness, Wi-Fi turned off and no music, video, games or Web pages running. More or less, the test turns a computer into a dimly lit clock, then sees how long it can run.

MYTH #4: Always fully charge a laptop battery before its first use

Image via Today Upfeed

TRUTH: Like the smartphones of today, this is totally unnecessary as the laptops today are built to use straight from the box.While it is highly recommended to charge your battery full before its first use, it doesn't have anything to do with battery life. However, following this tip ensures that the ‘calibration process’ is achieved and the device gets to know how the battery behaves. Still, most of the batteries today can self-calibrate anyways.

MYTH #5: Laptop batteries are easily replaceable

Image via Gadget Mix

TRUTH: Most laptops have built-in batteries which you won’t be able to replace yourself and normally require you to send your laptop back to the manufacturer to be fitted.There's no getting away from the fact that the running time on a single charge will get shorter over time. After a few years, you might want to replace the battery, but it's not always as easy as all that. Laptops these days tend to come with built-in batteries which you won't be able to replace yourself. It requires you to send your laptop back to the manufacturer to be fitted whether or not you'll may be charged, depending on the coverage of your warranty.

Which of these myths have you fallen victim to? Let us know in the comments below!

Retailers Are Not Supposed To Charge You Extra For Card Payments, Says Bank Negara

The leading financial authority in the country has finally spoken.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in a statement on Wednesday, 21 March, clarified that retailers are not permitted to impose extra charges on card payments.

Image via Bank Negara Malaysia

BNM, as quoted by The Edge Markets, was replying to comments made by Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Othman Aziz in Parliament last week that there would be no abolishment of interest charges on credit cards.Othman said by removing charges would only encourage Malaysians to spend more.

The central bank said retailers commonly apply a surcharge for card payments to recover the cost - also known as the Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) - incurred by them when accepting card payments

Image via Hostel Hunting

However, BNM's Payment Card Reform Framework (PCRF) does not allow retailers to impose a surcharge on debit card payments and similar constraints have been placed on credit cards issued by international card schemes such as Visa and Mastercard."The prohibition on surcharges is monitored and enforced by banks that provide e-payment facilities to merchants (acquiring banks)," it said.BNM added that the MDR credit card was higher than MDR for debit card.

BNM noted that other countries have adopted different approaches in dealing with the issue of surcharges imposed by retailers for card payments

In the European Union and United Kingdom, retailers are prohibited from imposing a surcharge on credit and debit card transactions. However, retailers in Australia have the right to impose a surcharge for credit card payments."The rationale of such approach is to send the correct price signal to encourage consumers to pay using the more cost-effective debit card," the central bank said.

Nevertheless, BNM advised consumers who encounter merchants that impose surcharges to lodge a complaint with their respective banks or payment card issuers

You can also give BNM a call at 1-300-88-5465 or visit the website for more info.

This Restaurant In KL Drenches Killer Cajun Sauce On Seafood Like Lobsters And Crab

Located in Bangsar, Ombak Kitchen is known for their 'shell-out' style seafood spread where people just eat from the table with their bare hands

It not only adds flavour, but also really brings out the freshness of the seafood!

Their specialties are the creamy zesty lemon, crazy cajun, creamy tom yum, buttermilk, and spicy chocolate sauce.Our personal favourite is the crazy cajun sauce as it adds a good kick of spice and smokiness to the whole meal.

It's just the right kind of spicy and we're a little embarrassed to admit it, but we totally licked it off of our fingers at the end of the meal.

Unemployed Man In Penang Caught Trying To Break Cash Deposit Machine At A Bank

He had managed to break the barrier door of one of the two CDM machines at the bank, but could not open the money withdrawal slot

The suspect was taken into custody before he could break the CDM machine.Police believe the man had used a metal rod to attempt to break the CDM machine."An inspection at the scene found that the suspect committed the crime alone and he failed to take any money as only the outside of the machine was damaged. The investigation also found that the suspect, who is still single, lives in the North-East district," MalaysiaGazette quoted Kamarul as saying.

The unemployed man is facing financial difficulties

Kamarul said the man is unemployed and that he had taken a bus from George Town to Balik Pulau."We believe the motive could have been due to the difficulties he is facing," he said, adding that the suspect has four previous records involving drug offences.The case is being investigated under Section 380, Section 511, and Section 427 of the Penal Code.

Johari Advises People To Check Their Representatives' Performance Before Voting In #GE15

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

Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani has a word of advice for Malaysians gearing up to cast their votes in the 15th General Election (GE15)

Johari — who is the Federal Territories UMNO chief and served as the second finance minister from June 2016 to May 2018 — reminded voters that it is important to check the representatives' performance as the need for a good and competent government post-GE15 cannot be taken for granted."This is something everyone must realise and it is a part of political maturity that we need to achieve," he said, adding that a strong opposition is also needed to back sound policies instead of populist ones."We need a balance of old and new faces. We need competent leaders with a good team to sail through," Johari was quoted as saying by New Straits Times yesterday, 25 October, at an event in Kuala Lumpur.According to Johari, who lost his Titiwangsa parliamentary seat in GE14, credible leaders are needed to govern the country given Malaysia's economic instability post the last general election."For the past four years, the country has been facing economic challenges," Free Malaysia Today reported him as saying, adding that while the government's revenue has stagnated, its debt has increased.

According to Johari, a review of the economic plan is also needed to avoid Malaysia from becoming a debt-burdened country like Sri Lanka

He cautioned that if the country's economy remains as it is now, the government would have to borrow in order to provide further assistance to the people and this would affect the lives of future generations."At the end of the day, whoever forms the government must do so with a competent cabinet. Without this, you can see how the economy has fared over the past few years. You must introduce policies that are not popular if you have to. It may not please everyone, but the future generation will reap the benefits."Johari pointed out that the spikes in government revenue in 2019 and 2022 were due to the special dividend given by Petronas, explaining how this isn't sustainable as it has negatively impacted the company."We can see that in 2016 and the following year, their rating was A+. Then it started dropping to A- when the dividend was paid out. Petronas is now rated as triple B plus," he said.He also touched on the previous Pakatan Harapan-led administration's decision to scrap the Goods and Services Tax (GST) despite the fact that it was globally recognised as a good tax system.

Johari, who lost his Titiwangsa seat to Bersatu's Rina Harun in a three-way fight, is said to be making a comeback for the seat in GE15

A person familiar with the matter told Malaysiakini that the people in Titiwangsa really want him to contest in the constituency again, as he has been consistent in serving them despite not holding the seat."Before this, he was the Titiwangsa MP. When he was gone (lost), a lot of people didn't get help because he wasn't around. He (Johari) is definitely contesting. The people want him to contest," the source said.For the Titiwangsa seat, Johari could be facing Amanah's Khalid Samad, MUDA's Siti Rahayu Baharin (Cikgu Ayu), Bersatu's Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, and PAS' Dr Rosni Adam.Rina is said to be running in Sepang.

MCA Warns Terengganu's Islamic Enforcers To Not Abuse Powers To Ogle Bikini-Clad Tourists

On Friday, 22 June, the PAS government in Terengganu stated that it will not restrict non-Muslims from wearing bikinis on the state's beaches. However, it added that authorities may "approach" such tourists for "discussions" on their attire.

"The decision to dress in bikinis is the right of non-Muslim tourists, and it is also considered common practice at holiday spots," said Terengganu humanity, preaching, and information committee chairman Mohd Nor Hamzah.Despite stating that there are no plans to punish or restrict non-Muslim visitors dressed in bikinis, Hamzah did not explain what these "discussions" would entail, Malay Mail reported.

Today, 24 June, MCA reminded Terengganu's Islamic enforcers to not abuse their powers to ogle tourists clad in bikinis

Image via Shuttershock

According to Malay Mail, Terengganu MCA chief Datuk Toh Chin Yaw said in a statement that, "'Approaching tourists' would also mean that the enforcement officers would have observed the holidaymakers for a while before their next action to 'approach' and 'discuss'.""Terengganu MCA does not want this situation to be exploited and abused by enforcement officers who cannot contain their lust to ogle at holidaymakers, but cloak behind self-righteousness to then harass visitors to the sand dunes and waters," he added.

The party also expressed a concern that approaching holidaymakers in bikinis to discuss their modesty will subsequently harass those who merely look like Malay-Muslims

Image via Gaya Travel

Using indigenous Sabahans, Sarawakians, Eurasians, and those of mixed parentage as examples of visitors whose complexions render them similar in appearance, Toh explained that, "They too may be mistaken as Muslims, harassed and summoned for not covering for their aurat."

Toh said it would be a better idea if signs were placed at relevant areas to specify the types of permitted beachwear

"Terengganu has pristine beaches and islands are tourist destinations that can generate revenue for the state and income for local industries. Do not let overzealousness, intolerance or lust-filled enforcement officers destroy their pull-factor," said the Terengganu MCA chief.


[VIDEO] Pre-Wedding Tema Avengers: Endgame Ini Memang On-Point & Power, Meremang Tengok!

Filem Avengers: Endgame telah menemui peminat di seluruh dunia apabila mula ditayangkan pada panggung wayang mulai 24 April yang lalu

Filem itu nampaknya telah membuat ramai yang menghidap ‘demam’ Endgame. Malah, fenomena filem Avengers: Endgame masih hangat dan menjadi antara topik perbualan orang ramai. Manakan tidak, ia merupakan filem penamat bagi 21 filem yang telah ditayangkan oleh Marvel Studios sepanjang tempoh 11 tahun.

Bercakap tentang fenomena Endgame, baru-baru ini tular sebuah video pre-wedding yang bertemakan filem tersebut!

Video berdurasi 2 minit 25 saat itu merupakan video parodi yang diambil daripada trailer filem tersebut merangkap video pra-perkahwinan buat pasangan yang dikenali sebagai Aus dan Anis.Menurut Double f studio, cadangan untuk membuat video ala Endgame itu merupakan permintaan pasangan suami isteri itu sendiri yang sememangnya merupakan peminat tegar siri filem Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Tambah syarikat yang menawarkan perkhidmatan video dan fotografi itu lagi, pada mulanya mereka menolak permintaan untuk membuat video tersebut gara-gara ianya bukan di bawah kepakaran mereka yang mana lebih tertumpu kepada penghasilan video perkahwinan dan video korporat, namun memilih untuk membuatnya juga setelah digesa pengarah kreatif mereka.Menariknya, video tersebut berjaya dibuat dengan baik tanpa memerlukan kos belanjawan yang tinggi meskipun mengakui mereka bergerak di luar zon selesa mereka demi menghasilkannya.

Influencer, Johanis Dedah Dirinya Ada Kronik Depresi, Ramai Terkejut & Beri Kata Semangat

Isu tentang depresi ini bukanlah satu perkara baru yang berlaku di kalangan generasi kini

Kalau dahulu, ia dianggap perkara taboo untuk dibincangkan secara meluas. Namun begitu, kini semakin ramai yang semakin memandang serius perkara tersebut. Apatah lagi, ramai yang tewas dalam usaha melawan depresi mereka.Antaranya adalah selebriti seperti Chester Bennington, SHINee Jonghyun, Goo Hara, Sulli, Heath Ledger dan ramai lagi.

Selain itu, ramai yang tampil mendedahkan bahayanya apabila mengalami depresi dan juga cara-cara mengatasi 'penyakit' tersebut.

Terbaru, seorang influencer dikenali sebagai Johanis Hani memuat naik video di laman Youtube mendedahkan bahawa dia telah didiagnosis mempunyai kronik depresi

Video berdurasi 14 minit itu dimuat naik pada 6 Januari 2020 kini telah mendapat tontonan lebih 94 ribu menyaksikan Johanis menjelaskan bahawa dia kini berusaha untuk pulih daripada depresi yang dialaminya. Kongsinya, antara salah satu punca dia mengalami depresi kerana sikapnya yang merupakan seorang perfectionist.

Susulan itu, ramai yang bersimpati dengan Johanis dan memberikan kata-kata semangat buatnya. Ada juga yang berkongsi pengalaman mereka berdepan dengan depresi.

i really want to give her a hug and comfort her. To anyone who’s going though the same thing, pls seek for professional help  pic.twitter.com/hTa5nISUKw— eisha (@adilaheiisha) January 6, 2020

Bahasa:"Saya ingin sekali berikan dia satu pelukan. Mereka yang turut mengalami perkara sama, tolong dapatkan bantuan pakar," tulisnya.

me myself is diagnosed with depression for 9 years and i can feel her pain. im stating the fact that people nowadays treat us based on fame. more fame, more attention. people like me get shit all the time. once again, I AM NOT HATING ON JOHANIS. READ AND UNDERSTAND PLEASE PEOPLE.— little belle (@nrbellanatasya) January 7, 2020

Bahasa:"Saya sendiri pernah didiagnosis dengan depresi selama 9 tahun dan saya boleh faham kesakitannya. Berdasarkan fakta, orang layan kita ikut populariti."Semakin popular kita, semakin banyak perhatian yang kita dapat. Orang macam saya dapat **** setiap masa. Saya tidak membenci Johanis, tolong baca dan hadamkan," tulisnya.

Sometimes people with depression cry because they feel like there are so many things that are wrong with themselves but they dont know what that is. Johanis simplified it with “i just dont love myself” and that’s a lot more that that.— Anis Sofia (@sophmksz) January 6, 2020

Bahasa: "Kadang-kadang orang yang mempunyai depresi menangis kerana mereka merasakan banyak perkara yang salah tentang diri mereka tapi tak tahu apa bendanya. "Johanis pendekkan dengan ayat 'saya tidak sayang diri saya' dan ia membawa banyak makna," tulisnya.

I feel herit's sucks u know bila every night hg nangis and keep blaming yourself dgn apa yng dah terjadi. Tambah tambah bila dlm keadaan mcmni,org sekeliling kita tolak kita. Mmg downnnn teruk sumpahaku harap Johanis cpttt heal drpd depression. https://t.co/VLTtGhNQ2s— lara jean (@nrhafinaaa) January 6, 2020

What this johanis YouTube going through about depression is the same what im going through . i cant even describe the feeling , i did tell to my bestie (michk) the only word i told her while crying typing it that "im will be fine it just that IM TIRED with this feeling" .— ummi frhnh (@UmmiFrhnh_) January 7, 2020

Bahasa: "Saya lalui perkara sama dengan Johanis. Perasaannya sukar untuk diterangkan. Saya ada kongsi dengan kawan baik saya dan ayat yang saya taip kepadanya sambil menangis adalah 'saya akan jadi lebih baik cuma penat dengan perasaan ini'," tulisnya.

Bagaimanapun, ada yang mempertikaikan dakwaan Johanis itu kerana dia kelihatan 'ok' di sosial media. Oleh itu, dia tampil menjelaskan situasi tersebut.

before anyone comes at me with “kata depressed” I’ve been pretending that im fine for years and it’s already second nature to me. Y should I stop doing what I’ve been doing this whole time just bcs I’ve admitted to the world of how I am? Hehe all peace — johanis (@jyrhighness) January 7, 2020

i don’t expect anyone to understand me and it’s okay.allah swt knows my pain, what i went through & what my true intentions r. that’s all that matters.— johanis (@jyrhighness) January 8, 2020

Bahasa:"Sebelum orang datang kat saya dan cakap 'kata depressed', saya dah berpura-pura okay lama dah dan ia dah jadi sifat kedua dalam diri saya. "Kenapa saya kena berhenti buat apa yang saya buat sebelum ini hanya kerana saya dedahkan kepada dunia keadaan diri saya? Peace semua,"Saya tak jangka yang semua orang akan faham dan itu tidak mengapa. Allah SWT kesakitan saya, apa yang saya lalui dan niat saya yang sebenarnya. Itu yang penting," tulisnya.

Depresi ini tidak mengenal usia dan sangat sukar untuk diketahui. Kadang-kadang kita lihat orang tu kelihatan macam okay sahaja tapi sebenarnya dia tidak.

Paling penting, apabila rakan anda meluahkan masalah yang mereka hadapi, jadilah pendengar yang setia dan bantu apa yang terdaya.

[1982] Austria and West Germany played to keep Algeria out

After a goal by West Germany early in the first half, both teams (Austria and West Germany) seemed content to accept 1-0 as a mutually-beneficial final score. They lazily passed the ball around themselves for the remainder of the game, neither team making another serious attempt on goal.

        time.com

The players were booed and called “cowards” by spectators, and announcers implored those watching at home to switch off their sets.

Both Austria and West Germany denied that they had colluded, and despite protests from Algeria, FIFA let the result stand.

The Brazilian superstar sparked one of the biggest mysteries in football history when his name was left off the teamsheet, only to reappear just in time for kick-off.

It was initially reported that Ronaldo had been struggling with an ankle injury, then that he had an upset stomach.
There was even talk of poison and whispers about his turbulent love life.

Ronaldo - "I don't remember what happened but I went to sleep and, like the doctor said, it seems I had a fit for about 30 or 40 seconds."

        bbc.co.uk

Team mate Roberto Carlos: "Ronaldo was scared about what lay ahead. The pressure had got to him and he couldn't stop crying. "If anything, it got worse because, at about four o'clock, he started being sick. That's when I called the team doctor and told him to get over to our room as fast as he could."

"The door of my house will always be open to him and if he wants, Zidane knows how to find out my address," said Materazzi.

Rooney, 26, was shown a red card for stamping on Portugal's Ricardo Carvalho before the Portuguese eliminated Sven-Goran Eriksson's side on penalties.

As I protested my innocence, Ronnie started waving an imaginary card around, getting in the ref's face. The official pulled out the red and I was off. I knew I couldn't really blame Ronaldo for what had happened because he was trying to win the game for his country.

Selain itu, beliau juga sangat terkenal di dalam mahupun di luar negara dan telah menjadi idola dan ikon gadis-gadis muda di Malaysia.Ada juga masyarakat yang menyukainya sebagai seorang ibu, isteri dan wanita yang bekerjaya dalam masa yang sama. Cara beliau membahagikan masa antara kerja, keluarga dan anak-anak telah menjadi buah mulut dan inspirasi kepada orang ramai.

Terbaru, Vivy Yusof telah membuat pengumuman di laman Instagram beliau pagi ini bahawa beliau sedang menunggu bayi yang ketiga. Akhirnya, satu berita yang sangat menggembirakan!

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Pengumuman itu telah dibuat oleh beliau sendiri melalui caption yang ditulis. Terdapat ribuan reaksi daripada peminatnya yang begitu gembira akan berita itu. Mana taknya, Vivy telah disanjungi ramai dengan pencapaian yang dimiliki sehingga kini dan berita ini telah menjadi sesuatu yang dinantikan oleh peminatnya.

Menurut Vivy, bayi pertama telah diumumkan pada satu pesta besar bersama keluarga dengan air mata kegembiraan.
Bayi kedua, diumumkan pada makan malam romantis. Bayi ketiga, hantar gambar di WhatsApp sambil menguap!

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Menurut laporan yang ditulis oleh Vivy Yusof sendiri dan disiarkan melalui News Straits Times, beliau telah mengambil beberapa ujian kehamilan dan hasilnya adalah negatif. Namun, Vivy tidak berputus asa dan mengambil satu lagi ujian dan keputusannya adalah positif!Ketika menerima berita itu, Vivy kemudiannya mengambil telefon beliau serta menangkap gambar keputusan itu untuk dihantar kepada keluarganya melalui aplikasi Whatsapp yang bertulis, "Kami hamil" dengan emoji senyum.

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Selain itu, perkongsian yang ditulis sendiri oleh Vivy Yusof juga telah menyentuh hati ramai peminatnya. Baca tulisan penuh beliau di bawah:Dalam pengalaman lapan tahun saya sebagai seorang majikan, saya telah melihat banyak rakan sepasukan saya hamil dan memasuki fasa kehidupan yang indah iaitu malam tanpa tidur dan menukar lampin anak. Ramai daripada mereka berubah menjadi versi Pregnant Vivy (Pivy) mereka sendiri dan saya tidak dapat memahaminya.Kerana saya mempunyai kehamilan yang agak mudah, saya fikir mereka "lemah" dan hanya menghiburkan hati mereka sendiri - sifat yang saya tidak suka. Tidak lupa juga dengan jumlah slip MC yang saya terima dan juga panggilan dari suami dan ibu mereka untuk memberitahu saya bahawa mereka tidak akan datang untuk bekerja, namun saya mengendahkannya semua itu dan sering mengadu kepada jabatan HR. Kehamilan tidak boleh menjejaskan keupayaan anda untuk melaksanakan tugas dan ia tidak sepatutnya memberi kesan kepada rakan sekerja.

Vivy juga telah menulis bahawa beliau mendoakan supaya semua ibu mengandung di luar sana dipermudahkan urusan ketika mengandung

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Setiap wanita berbeza dan kita semua melalui pelbagai jenis kehamilan. Ada yang mudah, ada yang sukar, ada yang perlu dimasukkan ke hospital! Kita mesti tahu badan kita sendiri dan berunding dengan doktor kita untuk mengetahui batasan kita, tetapi pada masa yang sama, kita mesti mempunyai minda yang kuat! Kita mesti mengambil inisiatif untuk memotivasi diri kita untuk menjadi kuat, bahagia dan bersyukur.Kepada semua ibu mengandung yang lain di luar sana, semoga kehamilan anda mudah dan lancar! Sementara itu, tetap kuat dan sentiasa positif. Janganlah menjadi penyebab kenapa orang tidak suka mengambil wanita bekerja dan janganlah jadi penyebab kenapa orang kata wanita mengandung itu lemah.

Apa-apa pun, kami dari Team Seismik mengucapkan tahniah kepada Datin Vivy Yusof atas kehamilan bayi ketiga ini! :)

Khairy Personally Apologises To Veveonah And Her Parents On Behalf Of The Government

The Perikatan Nasional (PN) government has now apologised to 18-year-old Veveonah Mosibin and her parents for the remarks made by two of its deputy ministers, according to  Khairy Jamaluddin

Earlier today, 10 September, the Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister took to his official Twitter handle to share that he has personally apologised to the Sabahan student on behalf of the government.According to Khairy's tweet, he met with Veveonah at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).

"I've apologised to her and her parents on behalf of the government"

"Had a meeting with Veveonah at UMS. I have apologised to her and her parents on behalf of the government," read his tweet, that has been retweeted over 3,000 times at the time of this writing.According to Khairy, he has also proposed that Veveonah come work with Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia so she can help develop innovation projects in environmental conservation at her village.

Sempat bertemu Veveonah di UMS. Saya telah mohon maaf kepada beliau dan ibu bapa beliau bagi pihak kerajaan. Saya juga telah cadangkan untuk Veve berkerjasama dengan @YayasanInovasi untuk membangunkan projek inovasi di kampung beliau dalam pemeliharaan alam sekitar. pic.twitter.com/LnK96fTadX— Khairy Jamaluddin  (@Khairykj) September 10, 2020

The formal apology comes after the chairman of the UMS Board of Directors confirmed that the 18-year-old student sat for her final semester exams that took place online from 9 to 12 June 2020

The confirmation was warranted after Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin and Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri had accused Veveonah of lying.Abdul Rahim, who is also the Kudat Member of Parliament (MP), had insisted that Veveonah faked everything for publicity. The Kudat MP had taken to his Facebook page to shame the 18-year-old student after Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Zahidi Zainul passed the buck to him.According to a report in New Straits Times, in his since-deleted post on Facebook, Abdul Rahim said that he stands by his claim that Veveonah had faked her situation in her viral video, in which she is seen resorting to climbing a tree for better Internet access, in her village of Kampung Sepatalang in Pitas, in order to sit for an online exam during the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO).Veveonah's story about her struggle for better Internet connection for her online exams in June became an issue in September when Zahidi Zainul accused her of lying in Dewan Negara.According to the Deputy Minister, who was speaking in the Dewan Negara, 18-year-old Veveonah lied about having to sit for online examinations because "she didn't have an exam" and wanted to be popular."The girl is a YouTuber. She didn't have an exam, we already checked. Which means she is smart. Therefore, we should not so easily believe YouTubers and people who like to incite issues," he had said.In the Dewan Negara, Zahidi Zainul was actually being questioned about the status of the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP), which was supposed to improve mobile coverage in rural areas in Sabah for others like Veveonah. He, for reasons best known to him, brought up Veveonah's story.Later the same day, Zahidi Zainul offered his apology to the Sabahan student.

Bali Says Foreigners Caught "Begpacking" Will Now Be Sent Back To Their Embassies

For a while now, people, mostly white tourists, who travel to Southeast Asian countries have been begging locals to give them money so they can keep on living the dream. They are called begpackers. They are basically backpackers begging for money.

And Bali has not been immune to such tourists.In fact, begpacking has become such an issue in Indonesia that now the immigration department in Indonesia's favourite tourist destination has vowed to send all foreigners caught begging to fund their travels to their respective embassies.

On 25 June, an official from Ngurah Rai's Immigration Office, who was speaking to Indonesian site Detik News, said that foreigners who have run out of money or are pretending to be beggars in Bali will be reported and sent back to their respective embassies

"We have seen many cases of problematic tourists, lately they are either Australian, British or Russian. We tend to report these cases to the relevant embassies, so they can oversee their citizens who are on holiday here," the immigration official Setyo Budiwardoyo was quoted saying by Detik News, according to Coconuts Bali.

While the Bali immigration officials have helped foreign tourists who run out of money during their vacation by providing them with accommodation and food in the past, Setyo has now become sceptical that these foreigners are just pretending to be broke

"If we are to discuss budget matters, I'd rather not give food to people who are pretending," Setyo said while speaking to Detik News via Coconuts Bali."We tend to contact their embassies instead and ask them to provide their citizens with assistance. Foreign citizens who run out of money or are pretending to be beggars, we will send them to their respective embassies," he added.

Last month, a group of foreign tourists got into an altercation with a local after he asked them to stop peddling at Jonker Street:

Hackers Breach Yahoo Email And Steal Usernames And Passwords... Again

Yahoo reported today that hackers have attempted a coordinated attack on a number of Yahoo Mail accounts

Yahoo has admitted that usernames and passwords of its email customers have been stolen and used to access accounts - but has refused to reveal how many.

        phys.org

Yahoo reports a cyberattack results in a security breach of the service's email.
Image via slate.com

Yahoo is the second-largest email service worldwide, after Google's Gmail, according to the research firm comScore. There are 273 million Yahoo mail accounts worldwide, including 81 million in the U.S.

        slate.com

Yahoo believes that the attack was caused by attackers trying to use credentials stolen from a third-party to gain access to users’ mail accounts

Once inside, the software the attackers used was designed to grab the names and email addresses of a user’s most recent sent emails. The company didn’t disclose how many accounts were affected by the attack.

        ubergizmo.com

Image via theatlantic.com

It’s the second email problem in the last two months for Yahoo and the company said it took immediate action to minimize the damage to users whose accounts were involved.

        slate.com

It is not clear why a third-party database would have information on Yahoo accounts

Yahoo said it is resetting passwords on affected accounts and has 'implemented additional measures' to block further attacks.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via dailymail.co.uk

'Based on our current findings, the list of usernames and passwords that were used to execute the attack was likely collected from a third-party database compromise,' the firm said.
'We have no evidence that they were obtained directly from Yahoo’s systems.

        phys.org

'Our ongoing investigation shows that malicious computer software used the list of usernames and passwords to access Yahoo Mail accounts.

        kpvi.com

Marissa Mayer's firm has admitted to a major hack attack - but refused to reveal how many users have been affected

'The information sought in the attack seems to be names and email addresses from the affected accounts’ most recent sent emails.'
'We regret this has happened and want to assure our users that we take the security of their data very seriously.'

This 10-year-old who stood up to the bullis to save this cat

It's never easy to stand up to bullies, but that's exactly what Wendell Overton did when he discovered a group of kids torturing a neighborhood stray cat. Overton had seen the black and white cat around town before, but one day he came across a gang of kids, aged five to thirteen, who were running over the animal with their bikes, throwing him in the air, and squirting energy drinks in his face. Afraid that they would kill the cat, Overton bravely intervened and took the cat home to his mother, who called the Outer Banks Humane Society.

A group of kids approached Jackson, threw him into the air, ran over him with their bikes and squirted energy drinks in his face. The bullies reportedly varied in age from 5 to 13. But 10-year-old Wendell Overton saved the day.

This lady who donated her kidney to a complete stranger

Retired Police Sergeant Michael Newman needed a kidney to live, so his former coworkers sent out a desperate plea to local media to get the word out. The Phoenix, Arizona man didn't hold out a lot of hope that a donor would step forward, however, local woman Kellie Boff printed out the article and put it aside. Boff says she kept finding herself drawn back to the email for no discernable reason. Finally, she picked up the phone and called the Mayo Clinic.

It turned out that Boff was a perfect match. Not just that, but she agreed to donate one of her healthy kidneys to Sergeant Newman, whom she'd never even met.

This man who jumped onto railroad tracks to save a stranger

In January, 2007, twenty year-old Cameron Hollopeter was waiting for a subway train in New York City when he had a seizure and began convulsing. As he tried to stand up, he tumbled forward onto the tracks just as the train rounded the corner and sped towards him.

Fifty-year-old construction worker and Navy veteran Wesley Autrey had been chatting with his two daughters when he saw the man fall. He made a split second decision that could have ended his life in an instant; he jumped onto the tracks to help Hollopeter. Autrey covered Hollopeter with his body and pushed him down between the train tracks. The train operator threw the alarm and tried to stop, but it was too late, and the train rolled over both men.

Five train cars rolled over the pair, mere inches from Autrey's head. When the train finally stopped, he called out to the screaming onlookers that they were okay. Later, heralded as a hero, Autrey said, "I don't feel like I did something spectacular; I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right.”

This 21-year-old boy's decision to become an organ donor that saved 7 lives

Organ donors are heroes who commit the most selfless act of kindness imaginable. When Henry Mackaman, a University of Wisconsin-Madison college student, died from bacterial meningitis in May of 2013, his family took a small comfort in the fact that he had made the decision to donate his organs.

Mackaman's ultimate act of kindness, simply checking the "Organ Donor" box on his driver's license, ultimately saved seven lives. His mother posted on Caring Bridge: "All of us are proud of Henry for making the decision to be an organ donor. This generosity shouldn't surprise anyone who knows him. With his decision, up to 54 people will benefit from the incredible life that Henry lived."

Henry's choice to be an organ donor, made while he was still alive, was an incredible affirmation in his future. By being able to provide life-saving aid to others, he survives on through others.

Singapore Parliament Suggests 4-Day Work Week To Improve Work-Life Balance

A four-day work week was brought up by a Member of Parliament (MP) in Singapore as a way to deal with the COVID-19 situation as well as improve work-life balance in the country

According to The Straits Times, the suggestion was made during a Parliament session held on Friday, 5 June, to discuss the Fortitude Budget - the country's fourth budget to tackle the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.While another MP had suggested government-funded childcare leave to improve the lives of Singaporean employees during this difficult time, Nominated MP Mohamed Irshad proposed moving away from the traditional five-day work week.

Irshad highlighted that the pandemic has already forced Singaporeans to adapt to new working practices within a very short period of time

He suggested that they should not return to their old ways of working, but instead build on the progress made during the Circuit Breaker period."I propose moving away from the traditional five-day work week to a four-day work week with the option of working from home on the fifth day, and even having a flexi-hours work model," said Irshad.He said that established firms like Microsoft have shown that a four-day work week can increase productivity by up to 40%.

Image via Desmond Foo/The Straits Times

He added that New Zealand, a country globally praised for its successful response against the COVID-19 pandemic, is also considering a four-day work week

According to The Guardian, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern suggested a four-day work week and other flexible working arrangements to promote work-life balance and boost domestic tourism.With international travel still banned, she encouraged employers to consider these flexibilities so that New Zealanders can travel around the country to help the battered tourism industry."Ultimately, that really sits between employers and employees," Ardern said."But as I've said there's just so much we've learnt about COVID-19 and that flexibility of people working from home, the productivity that can be driven out of that.""Think about whether that is something that would work for your workplace because it certainly would help tourism all around the country," she asked of businesses.

A Malaysian company has permanently given employees the flexibility of working from home since the MCO began:

Soon You Can Cut Queues At The Immigration Department. How?

You Can Renew Your Passport Online Via The Immigration Department's New My Immigration System Come 2014

The days of lining up for a number and queueing up to renew your passport may soon be over. Everything can be done online under an extensive revamp of the Immigration Department’s My Immigration System.

        thestar.com.my

The Online Passport Renewal, Which Must Be Paid For Via Credit Card, Is Expected To Reduce Long Queues At Immigration Counters

The revamp, to be implemented by next year, promises to cut the crowds at Immigration counters, making the holiday rush for passports a thing of the past.

        thestar.com.my

State immigration director Datu Robert Lian believes the system will significantly ease queues and reduce waiting time at all the department’s offices nationwide.

Applicants Can Collect Their Renewed Passports At Immigration Counters Nationwide

Immigration director-general Datuk Alias Ahmad said the online passport renewal would allow citizens to collect the travel document at any of the department’s branches nationwide after it had been processed online and paid for via credit card.

        wordpress.com

Furthermore, The Travel Document Can Also Be Collected At KLIA Before Checking In For A Flight

Alias was also quoted to have said that travellers could even collect their passports at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) before proceeding to check-in for their flights, and that the department would set up a branch at KLIA’s main terminal to enable customers to make new passports or renew their travel documents immediately.

        theborneopost.com

On picking up passports at KLIA, Alias said the department would set up a branch at the airport’s main terminal which would enable consumers to make new passports or renew their passports on the spot.
“The branch is expected to be operational within two months.
“Travelling Malaysians, who have expired or damaged passports, can use the service before their flights,” he said.

This Extensive Revamp Of The My Immigration System Will Also Allow Online Application For Visa And Work Permits

Alias said the revamp would also enable the public to apply for visa and work permits online.

        thestar.com.my

Alias said the revamp was needed as the current system could not handle the huge increase in the number of passport applications, let alone online renewals.
The department has been issuing an average of 600,000 passports yearly since 1996, but the number more than doubled last year.

        thestar.com.my

This Extensive Revamp Of The My Immigration System Will Also Allow Online Application For Visa And Work Permits

However, The Online System Is Strictly For Renewals Only. Applications For New Passports Must Still Be Done In Person At Immigration Offices.

“The online system will only cater for passport renewals and not for new passports as the latter requires the applicants to have their biometric information scanned at Immigration offices,” he added.

Penang Mufti Now Calls For Permanent Closure Of TTDI Comedy Club As A Lesson For Everyone

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

Datuk Seri Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor, the Penang Mufti, who earlier called for the introduction of guidelines for comedy clubs, now wants a comedy club involved in a recent controversy to permanently close

According to Wan Salim, Crackhouse Comedy Club in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), Kuala Lumpur should be made an example for everyone out there who repeatedly and deliberately insults Islam.The Crackhouse Comedy Club has found itself in a religious controversy after a woman, Siti Nuramira Abdullah, undressed during an open mic session at the club in an alleged attempt to insult Islam.So far, the authorities have arrested three people including the co-founder of the comedy club, with the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) issuing a temporary suspension order against the club's licence.The mufti said that his earlier statement about guidelines to ensure comedy club owners and patrons do not cross moral and religious boundaries now appears "soft" as he thought it was an unintentional act."But after knowing a similar incident had happened repeatedly in the past, it is understandable that it was deliberately planned to insult Islam," Utusan Malaysia quoted him as saying today, 15 July.He was commenting on the Crackhouse Comedy Club co-founder, Rizal Van Geyzel, who was arrested for questioning over old videos of his own stand-up comedy routines at the club.

The mufti said that due to the seriousness of the offence, which can affect Malaysia's stability, he supports DBKL's action and wants the club to be closed permanently so that it is a lesson to all parties

He added that the comedy club should be shut down at all costs.Previously, Federal Territories Deputy Minister Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias had said that DBKL will not tolerate any activities deemed offensive to sensitivities on religion, race, and the country's sovereignty."This issue has also received criticisms from nearby residents and netizens who felt that the viral video was clearly aimed at insulting and sullying the image of Islam. As the local authority of KL, DBKL will never compromise on such issues. DBKL has conducted further investigations on the licence of the premises concerned and taken immediate action to temporarily suspend its operations," he said on 10 July.

Meanwhile, the comedy club's co-founder is expected to be released later today after a magistrate denied request for a four day remand

The Crackhouse Comedy Club co-founder will be released on police bail this evening.Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) secretary Datuk Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin said the 39-year-old man was arrested to facilitate an investigation into two video clips at the comedy club.He was arrested to be investigated under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act by a team from the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department's Classified Criminal Investigation Unit (USJT) yesterday, 14 July."The suspect will be given bail by the police this afternoon as the investigation that requires the presence of the suspect has been completed," she said in a statement today, 15 July.
