Finance Minister: BPN 2.0 Payouts Will Take At Least 1 Week To Be Credited

Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul just announced that the Bantuan Prihatin Nasional 2.0 (BPN 2.0) payouts require at least one week to be credited in the bank accounts of all recipients

He addressed the issue in a live press conference today, 27 January, while presenting the 38th Implementation and Coordination Unit Between National Agencies (LAKSANA) report.

He urged recipients to wait patiently as the payout involves a large sum and needs at least a week before it could reflect in everyone's bank accounts.

On 21 May 2014, the Penang legislative assembly was intruded for the first time in history when DAP assemblyman R.S.N. Rayer's "UMNO celaka" statement triggered UMNO members to retaliate

×

Seri Delima assemblyman R.S.N. Rayer, who sparked a massive protest by saying "celaka Umno" which saw the Penang legislative assembly being intruded for the first time in history yesterday, said "celaka" is a common word and should be taken in jest. The lawyer from DAP said when he uttered the remark in the assembly on Tuesday, he wanted to say "damn it" but he could not use the expression in English.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Rayer had reportedly uttered the words "Umno celaka" after accusing several state Umno leaders of trying to incite the people through a demonstration firing up the sentiments of May 13, 1969.

        nst.com.my

Seri Delima assemblyman R.S.N. Rayer, who sparked a massive protest by saying "celaka Umno" which saw the Penang legislative assembly being intruded for the first time. "But we never got into the stage of fighting. Take it in jest la," he said, adding that he was called “anak haram” and “pariah” which were even more demeaning.

        themalaysianinsider.com

It was said that at least 50 people were outside the Penang Dewan Rakyat by 8.30am. While FRU guarded the gates, 10 members managed to slip through.

"I saw a YouTube video of the incident. The police did not do anything and allowed the mob to storm into the building," Mohamad, also known as Mat Sabu, said during a ceramah at the Kuta Bali Food Court in Farlim, Penang, tonight.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"People have a right to gather, to protest. They can even say all sorts of things about the politicians, but this is an institution of democracy and it was shown no respect. Malaysia has been shamed by this incident," he said. "A breach of the country's law-making institution is a very serious offence and it can also be seen as a breach of the constitution."

        themalaysianinsider.com

They damaged the automatic gate and some 10 people slipped past security and the police and proceeded into the house. Lim Guan Eng said the police have been ordered to take over the security of the assembly building and a special committee would be set up to prepare a report on the "black incident".

Install Dash Cams In Test Cars To Curb Bribery, Says Transport Minister

Newly minted Transport Minister Anthony Loke is on a mission to curb the issue of bribery for driver's licenses in the country

Loke clocking in for his first day of work as the Transport Minister.

In the same press conference yesterday, 24 May, Loke said certain measures will be put in place to eradicate the culture of "kopi-o" driver's licenses."I have been told that certain driving schools offer packages of up to RM2,200 for the 'guarantee to pass' license package. There will be no more such packages from now onwards," he said as quoted by New Straits Times (NST).

He said driving institutes must be transparent with fees and charges, adding that any additional costs should be out in the open through itemised bill statements

Image via Riakar

"They (driving school operators) should do this now. Consumers have the right to know what they are paying for," he said. However, Loke added that driving school operators can still offer additional services like transporting learner drivers to and from the institute, but he stressed that these "extras" must be optional and clearly stated in the billing statement.

The Transport Minister was also mulling on plans to install dashboard cameras in test cars

Image via Sinar Harian

The Star Online reported Loke as saying, "For on-the-road tests, we want driving institutes to install dashboard cameras in all test cars. By doing so, should an applicant feel he was failed because he did not pay the 'duit kopi', he can appeal with evidence from the dashboard cameras."Loke added that all learner drivers should be monitored through closed-circuit television cameras (CCTVs) so the student's performance can be evaluated through a control room. When asked how and when will these measures be implemented, Loke said he would have to discuss with driving school operators first.

Loke also announced he had instructed the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to set up an electronic bidding system for all future car number plate purchases:

                Transport Minister: NGOs Will No Longer Be Allowed To Sell Car Number Plates

He made the announcement after chairing a meeting with JPJ.

Tidak dinafikan, ibu bapa yang memiliki anak-anak mesti mempunyai tanggungan kos tinggi

Memiliki anak sudah tentu akan meningkatkan lagi komitmen setiap bulan.

Tidak dinafikan memang susah untuk mengumpul duit, tetapi apa kata kita baca perkongsian daripada ibu bapa rakyat Malaysia tentang cara mereka menabung untuk anak-anak!

1. "Buka akaun bank dan menabung duit raya" - Imah, 57

Puan Imah mendidik anak-anaknya menabung sejak kecil lagi. Dia akan mendaftarkan akaun bank untuk anak-anaknya. Duit yang disimpan adalah hasil daripada anak-anak menabung menggunakan duit sekolah yang diberikan. Bukan setakat itu, mereka juga akan sertakan duit raya untuk dimasukkan ke dalam bank sekali. "Memang mencabar lebih-lebih lagi anak-anak membesar dan masuk ke universiti dengan serentak, jadi saya dah didik mereka untuk menabung walaupun sikit. Kadangkala, ada juga saya dan suami bantu apa yang patut seperti yuran pengajian", katanya. Puan Imah berumur 57 tahun dan mempunyai 4 orang anak berumur 25 tahun, 23 tahun, 22 tahun dan 19 tahun. Dia merupakan seorang peniaga dan menetap di Johor. Nasihat: Melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya, kalau ajar anak-anak menabung dari kecil. Mereka akan terbiasa dengan cara ini masa besar.

Puan Noormuhaizi menyediakan dua tabung khas untuk anak-anak. Satu tabung untuk menabung duit syiling, satu lagi untuk duit kertas. Duit tersebut akan dimasukkan ke dalam akaun Tabung Haji. Sebab itu, bila ada wang simpanan, ia akan membantu anak-anak dalam hal kewangan semasa menyambung pelajaran seperti membayar yuran pengajian, duit makan, duit peralatan buku dan sebagainya.Puan Noormuhaizi merupakan seorang suri rumah dan sumber kewangan keluarga adalah dari pekerjaan suaminya. Mereka sekeluarga menetap di Shah Alam serta mempunyai 4 orang anak yang berumur 24 tahun, 19 tahun, 17 tahun dan 13 tahun.Nasihat: Pupuk anak-anak untuk menabung daripada kecil.

3. "Potongan dalam Simpan SSPN Plus setiap bulan" - Nurul Habibah, 37

"Dengan keadaan harga meningkat sekarang, memang susah untuk menabung. Harga barang keperluan harian semuanya meningkat. Jadi nak tak nak kita juga perlu allocate duit lebih untuk barang keperluan harian", katanya. Sebab itu, Puan Habibah memilih untuk jalan senang dan mudah iaitu melalui potongan ke dalam akaun Simpan SSPN Plus setiap bulan. Ia telah menjadi satu komitmen apabila adanya anak-anak. Kata Puan Habibah, dengan potongan tetap ini dia sekeluarga tidak perlu lagi memikirkan tentang simpanan untuk anak-anak. Pelan yang diambil juga mempunyai perlindungan takaful, dividen yang kompetitif, pelepasan taksiran cukai serta banyak lagi keistimewaan dan manfaat yang boleh dinikmati.Puan Habibah merupakan seorang guru yang mempunyai 4 orang anak.

4. "Buka akaun Simpan SSPN untuk anak" - Akmal, 30

"Memang sukar untuk menabung lebih untuk anak-anak sekarang. Tambahan lagi, dengan harga barangan yang naik sejak akhir-akhir ini. Tetapi itu, bukan alasan untuk kita tidak menabung untuk mereka walaupun tidak banyak sikit pun jadi untuk masa depan mereka", katanya.Encik Akmal membuat simpanan untuk anaknya melalui Simpan SSPN kerana dijamin kerajaan dan paling penting ada perlindungan takaful sekali. Kata Encik Akmal, kalau apa-apa terjadi pada dia atau meninggal dunia, anak-anaknya akan dapat manfaat takaful untuk masing-masing sambung belajar walaupun dia telah tiada.Jelas Encik Akmal lagi, simpanan Simpan SSPN ini juga mempunyai dividen kompetitif dan pelepasan taksiran cukai sehingga RM8,000.00.

"Aku Buat Kerja Aku Saja. Malas Dah Nak Ambil Tahu Dan Didik Lebih-Lebih. Aku Serik."

Seringkali kita dengar keluhan para guru tentang bebanan tanggungjawab yang terpaksa mereka galas serta kerenah anak didik yang kadangkala melampaui batasan

Perkongsian daripada seorang guru Mohd Fadli Salleh ini mungkin dapat membuka mata kita semua tentang masalah sebenar yang berlaku dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah sekarang. Dari mana mereka belajar tentang semua perkara yang tidak langsung diajar di dalam kelas serta perkara yang tak tercapai dek akal selalu menjadi tanda tanya.Salah siapa? Ibu bapa? Guru? Atau teknologi?Baca perkongsian penuh beliau di bawah:

Kami para guru di sekolah seluruh negara tidak pernah membuat tayangan cerita 'blue' kat murid-murid. Apatah lagi kat murid sekolah rendah.Jadi dari mana mereka belajar tentang hal ini? Sehingga melukis gambar lucah cikgu sendiri dan berkongsi pula dengan rakan-rakan.Amat menyedihkan akhlak anak-anak sekarang, berani mengugut untuk merogol guru mereka sendiri.Ugutan ROGOL tuan puan. Bukan ugutan mencalarkan kereta atau sekadar melawan dengan kata-kata.Lebih menyedihkan, ugutan ini keluar dari murid sekolah rendah. Yang usianya belum pun mencapai 13 tahun lagi. Apa hal ini kita masih boleh menutup mata?

Image via Mohd Fadli Salleh

Semalam saya berkongsi gambar pelajar lelaki yang mengacungkan jari tengah (simbol f**k) kepada guru mereka. Hari ini guru tersebut bercerita,"Murid-murid ini tidur di atas meja kat belakang kelas. Maka aku tutup kipas nak bagi mereka sedar."Murid itu dengan berang berkata,"Pantat mana yang tutup kipas ni?!"Hati guru mana yang mampu bersabar kalau dipanggil 'pantat'? Satu gelaran lucah yang amat biadab terhadap seorang guru.Sangat kurang ajar!Maka guru itu bertindak balas. Dia ambil gulungan kain dan pukul murid itu. Gulungan kain tuan puan, bukan pukul pakai kayu baseball. Tiada luka, tiada lebam.Namun murid itu mengadu, guru itu memukulnya dengan besi. Sehingga guru itu dipanggil pentadbir dan dikenakan tindakan.Alangkah peliknya dunia pendidikan zaman sekarang. Murid biadab, guru cuba mendidik. Namun guru pula yang kena tindakan.Apa itu tidak pelik?

Image via Mohd Fadli Salleh

Dan begitulah selalunya.Apa jua tindakan guru, anak-anak pulang melapor kepada ibu bapa dengan kisah yang diputar belit. Ibu bapa datang menyerang, datang membuat aduan, malah ada yang memfailkan saman.Maka akhirnya, guru juga yang bersalah. Guru juga yang dikenakan tindakan.Dan sahabat saya itu, kini hatinya sudah tawar. Tawar sudah hendak menegur dan mendidik."Aku buat kerja aku saja. Malas dah nak ambil tahu dan didik lebih-lebih. Aku serik."Bilamana sang guru mulai tawar hati dan tidak lagi mempedulikan anak-anak kita, maka tunggulah saat kehancuran. Percayalah!

Image via Mohd Fadli Salleh

Sekiranya diperhatikan, banyak sudah kes-kes seperti ini yang berlaku di sekolah

Pelajar sekarang bukan sahaja berani menggunakan kata-kata kesat, malah berani membuat ugutan serta ajakan seks kepada guru mereka.Seorang guru kaunseling yang menjalani latihan praktikal di sebuah sekolah pernah menerima ajakan seks di Whatsapp daripada bekas pelajarnya. Baca lanjut di SINI.

Jadi apakah langkah terbaik yang boleh kita lakukan untuk membendung masalah ini?

[FACT OR FAKE #57] Did Late-Night Texting Cause Some Guy’s Retina To Detach?

Last week, a story spread quickly outside of China, where it was first reported by the English-Language WantChina Times that a Chinese man suffered detached retina after hours texting his girlfriend in the dark

Screenshot of WantChina Times' report

It was then picked up by other websites, from major tech sites like CNET to news outlets all over the world

Image via imgur.com

The reports said that the 26-year-old, from the city of Qingdao in Shandong Province, China, had spent hours texting his girlfriend, both at work and at night in bed

When he began to experience sudden flashes in the corner of his eye, he went to the doctor, who promptly diagnosed him with retinal detachment. The man had to have emergency eye surgery to restore his vision.

        dailydot.com

While retinal detachment is usually a common problem among the elderly, the condition has been increasingly becoming more prevalent among young people thanks to excessive cellphone use, eye expert Yu Bin told the Want China Times.

        wantchinatimes.com

So, did late-night texting really cause this guy retinal detachment? How much of it is FACT or FAKE?

FAKE: Late-night texting did not cause the guy’s retina to detach

Image via mentalhealthportland.org

A New York ophthalmologist told the Daily Dot that the young man’s condition probably wasn't caused by late-night texting.

        washingtonpost.com

“There's no proof that most devices we use, like computers and smartphones, cause damage to the retina,” he told me, adding that the man might have had an underlying condition that caused his symptoms.

Although there are a number of conditions that are potentially triggered by excessive cellphone use, retina detachment "is not on the list"

Texting while driving might not be the best idea … but it won’t cause your retina to detach, at least

While numerous research studies have been devoted to the link between eye disorders and excessive cellphone use, Guillory says we don't really know enough about it to say for sure.

But we do know that smartphone users are vulnerable to computer vision syndrome, which can result in blurred vision or permanent nearsightedness. So the next time you're texting your girlfriend panda emojis at 3am, it's probably a good idea to put down the phone just to be safe.

Nongshim Recommends Adding Peanut Butter To Ramyun

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

We love our ramyun. Cheese and ramyun. Egg and ramyun. But peanut butter and ramyun?
Apparently, it makes a great combo too.

On 30 May, Facebook user Sherwin Lacson shared a photo in the group Subtle Asian Traits of a packet of Nongshim's Shin Ramyun with a sticker on it that recommends adding peanut butter.

Image via Sherwin Lacson (Facebook)

The caption reads, "How does this taste like? Anyone tried putting Skippy on this ramen?"

Several people in the group were left puzzled by the unique concoction, while others revealed that they've tried it and it does taste good together

Image via Facebook

One person commented that combining ramen and peanut butter is actually a thing, especially in the US

Image via Facebook

In a Facebook video last year, Nongshim America explained how to make ramyun with peanut butter.

Several recipe articles also mention using ramen, the Japanese equivalent of the Korean style instant noodles (ramyun). We even found a recipe on Martha Stewart's website.

While some said the combination is a hard pass for them, most were up for it

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

According to this article, the peanut butter thickens the broth, making it creamy and nutty, almost similar tasting to pad thai. If you want to try it out, someone shared in the comments that they mixed in about one tablespoon of chunky peanut butter to their ramen.

Image via Facebook

Have you tried this combo? If you have, what did you think of it? Let us know.

Remember when this restaurant in Sabah served boba in ramen a couple of years ago?

400,000 PTPTN Loan Defaulters To Be Removed From Travel Blacklist By Next Month

Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik today, 31 May, announced that his ministry is in the midst of removing over 400,000  National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loan defaulters from  a travel blacklist

Image via Berita Harian

Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported that the newly minted minister said the Immigration Department has started removing the names of the defaulters since 24 May. The process is expected to be completed by 15 June."Should any of you face trouble at the airport, please contact our officers there," he said as quoted by the Malay Mail.

However, the names of the defaulters will still remain under the Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS), barring them from obtaining bank loans

Image via Free Malaysia Today (FMT)

Maszlee added that those with problems with repayment should approach PTPTN to negotiate an amount they can afford to pay. "They should come to see us to restructure their loan payments if they are having problems. For instance, if they cannot pay RM100 per month, we can discuss lowering the amount," he said in a report by New Straits Times (NST).

Dr Maszlee also noted that Pakatan Harapan's (PH) PTPTN pledge has to put on hold for now due to the country's staggering debt

PH promised in its election manifesto that it will delay repayment for borrowers earning RM4,000 and below. The Star Online quoted Maszlee as saying that the ministry requires more time to find the best way to fulfil the promise within the 100 days.

Do you have a suggestion or idea on how the education system in Malaysian can be improved? Dr Maszlee wants to hear from you:

You Know Balik Kampung Season Is Here When You Start Doing These Things...

Oh yes, Raya is almost here! Get your car an added boost for the journey home with Shell Helix Engine Warranty.

Treat your baby to the first motor oil in Malaysia that comes with a free engine warranty of up to 12 years. How's that for a peaceful drive? Find out more here.

Balik kampung season is almost here, which means you're probably about to experience all of these really soon:

1. Trying to find the most effective way to fit your baju raya collection, among other things, into your luggage bag

Image via HowardStern.com

Add on the casserole dish set you'd ordered for Tok Long, the shoes that Pak Busu asked to kirim, and the 15 jars of kuih raya you'd bought on a whim, you'll most likely end up with enough luggage to comfortably stay in your hometown for a year.

Image via bellabellitos57.blogspot.com

2. Making a trip to the bank to change cash for duit raya

Image via tiegadies.blogspot.my

And feeling like a ballin' high-roller with all those crisp stacks of cash. You're about to make it rain green packets.

Image via thechronic-2001.tumblr.com

3. Strategising to bertolak at 3am to avoid drivers who are leaving at 5am (who are avoiding the 7am jam)

Image via diarimcbride.blogspot.my

Reality: You probably should have pushed off at 1am instead to avoid the 3am jam. Well, that's what your selok belok instincts are for anyway! When it comes to escaping the jam, there isn't an alternative route you don't know.

Image via Reddit

But whichever route you end up on, you're sure to keep safety as your top priority! You've got all your sleeping hacks to ensure you're well-rested before the drive. Plus, if sleepiness gets in your way along the drive, there are always coffee pit-stops at Shell Select stores and Shell Deli2Go to look forward to!

4. Turning the ride home into an all-out karaoke session

Image via anolanstube/Youtube

The repertoire will not be complete without at least several rounds of (what else?) Balik Kampung!

5. Spending the last day of Ramadan preparing for Raya

With less than 24 hours to go to the big day, you know the day before Raya is when things tend to get a little hectic (and a lot of fun)! If you play your cards right, you'll probably be able to get away with less strenuous tasks, like weaving ketupat, sweeping the house, or putting up pelita.

But if you get put in charge of kacau dodol duties... well, we wish you the best of luck. A little advice: Put your back into it!

  A photo posted by Nor Afizah Thalhan (@fiza870210) on Mar 31, 2016 at 11:39pm PDT

Bonus: An innocent stroll into the kitchen after berbuka can land you an impromptu food tasting session of the next day's top dishes too!

Apple To Make Future iPhone Camera Better Without Adding A Single Megapixel

Apple has been working on a new technology that significantly boosts picture resolution without the need for more megapixels

Image via wordpress.com

According to a patent application published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday covering "Super-resolution based on optical image stabilization," Apple is testing out alternative and unique uses for existing OIS tech, a much different path than rival smartphone makers.

        techcrunch.com

This could allow future devices to boost image resolution considerably by stitching together multiple exposures for each picture.

        appleinsider.com

What this Apple patent means to you is that one of your future iPhones will be enabled to rapidly take a series of images at a range of slightly offset angles

In very basic terms, the invention uses an optical image stabilization (OIS) system to take a batch of photos in rapid succession, each at a slightly offset angle
Image via appleinsider.com

The invention uses a camera with an optical image stabilization module that can take multiple images with each subsequent capture offset by a small amount. These lower resolution images are then intelligently stitched together by a dedicated image processor to create a resulting high-resolution photograph.

        macrumors.com

The optical image stabilization part of the equation will help ensure the captured images are in perfect focus. The result will be more accurately rendered images at higher resolution without adding megapixels.

        techtimes.com

iPhone users will have the choice to switch between the standard camera mode and the super-resolution mode

Image via appleinsider.com

When the shutter is activated, either by a physical or on-screen button, the system fires off a burst of shots much like iOS 7's burst mode as supported by the iPhone 5s. While taking the successive image samples, a highly precise actuator tilts the camera module in sub-pixel shifts along the optical path — across the horizon plane or picture plane.

        appleinsider.com

In some embodiments, multiple actuators can be dedicated to shift both pitch and yaw simultaneously. Alternatively, the OIS systems can translate lens elements above the imaging module.

        macrumors.com

Because the OIS processor is calibrated to control the actuator in known sub-pixel shifts, the resulting samples can be interpolated and remapped to a high resolution grid. The process is supported by a positioning sensor that can indicate tilt angle, further enhancing accuracy.

        appleinsider.com

Considered a low-resolution sample, each successive shot is transferred to a super-resolution engine that combines all photo data to create a densely sampled image. Certain embodiments allow for the lower resolution samples to be projected onto a high-resolution grid, while others call for interpolation onto a sub-pixel grid.

        wallstcheatsheet.com

Image via appleinsider.com

Finally, the super-resolution engine can apply additional techniques like gamma correction, anti-aliasing and other color processing methods to form a final image. As an added bonus, the OIS system can also be tasked for actual stabilization duties while the super-resolution mechanism is operating.

        appleinsider.com

It is not known if Apple has any near-future plans to use this technology in its iPhones and iPads

Image via appleinsider.com

Although, it should be noted that the “Super-Resolution Based on Optical Image Stabilization” patent appears to confirm a rumor reported by Taiwan’s China Post earlier this year.

        wallstcheatsheet.com

According to unnamed Nomura Securities analysts cited by the China Post, Apple will concentrate on “improved optical image stabilization” technology for the iPhone 6, rather than increasing the pixel count, in order to maintain the device’s slim design.

If You Received An Email About Getting A Tax Refund Recently, Read This

It appears that quite a number of Malaysians have been receiving emails that claim to provide a sum of tax refund lately

Image via Facebook

There have been a number of cases recently where people have been receiving emails claiming to be from banks including Bank Negara Malaysia, CIMB, Maybank and others that request taxpayers to submit their tax refund request.  These emails require taxpayers to fill out their details as part of the procedure to qualify for income tax refunds. It is believed that the emails are circulating on the Internet at the moment, and are said to be part of an ongoing online scam.

But these days, these fraudulent e-mails don't just claim to be from banks, but from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) itself

Image via Ashley Greig-Momin

One Ashley Greig-Momin shared on Facebook about how she received an email that claimed to be from the "Inland Revenue Board Of Malaysia" for the first time. She had previously received numerous questionable emails that were allegedly from various banks.Feeling suspicious, she took the initiative to get in touch the Inland Revenue Board Of Malaysia (LHDN) to get clarification on the matter. Ashley called the customer service line and explained the matter to the operator.  "She checked and apparently my ledger was clear and that there was no refund or anything of that sort, and told me that it was a spam mail, just like I had suspected," added Ashley, commending LHDN for their excellent customer service.  It is noted that there was a surge in the number of people who received from emails "LHDN" a few months ago, though there were slight variations in the copy.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has cautioned the public on bogus emails purportedly from the central bank yesterday, 18 October

Image via Bank Negara Malaysia

In a statement yesterday, BNM warned against opening any email that claims to be from the bank and that the recipient is eligible for a tax refund. It said that these emails are being sent by scammers who are out to prey on the public and cheat their hard-earned money."We would like to inform that tax is not under Bank Negara Malaysia's purview.""Members of the public are reminded to ignore such emails and not to click or download the attachment. The link in these emails may contain malware," it said.

The ongoing email fraud scheme appears to be rather rampant recently as the statement from BNM came one week after they reminded the public to beware of phishing scams

Last Monday, 10 October, BNM have issued a statement to remind the public to refrain from opening any email purportedly bearing the name of  the bank.BNM explained the fraudsters' modus operandi is to send to intended victims email entitled "security verification", purportedly from BNM, informing them that there is an incoming payment.The victims are required to complete security verification by downloading the attachment provided. Once the person clicks on/downloads the link provided in the attachment, they will be directed to a fake website requesting personal financial information such as credit or debit card details including card verification value (CVV) or other personal identification numbers (PIN).BNM reiterated that they, or any financial institution, credit card issuer or banking institution, will never request for personal banking information via email, telephone calls, or SMS.

BNM has recommended the following preventive measures against these fraudulent schemes:

1. Use web browsers that are up-to-date with built-in phishing filters.2. DO NOT trust emails, calls or SMS claiming cash wins, incoming fund transfers/payments or refunds and requests for personal banking information.3. Contact your respective banks or contact the Associations of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) toll-free service called ABMConnect at 1-300-88-9980 when in doubt of the email, SMS or calls.

Gadis Kecewa 'Diperlekeh' Ada Ijazah Jurusan Komputer, Tapi Hanya Kerja Sebagai Cashier

Jodoh, ajal dan pertemuan semuanya terletak kepada Allah SWT

Kita sebagai hambanya hanya perlu terus berusaha dan berdoa jika mahukan sesuatu itu menjadi milik kita. Tetapi, tidak semestinya semua yang kita inginkan akan dapat.Begitu juga dengan isu pekerjaan. Walaupun belajar setinggi mana pun, jika kita masih tidak mempunyai pekerjaan pasti ada rezeki yang lebih baik menanti. Tambahan lagi dengan pandemik Covid-19 yang melanda negara telah menyebabkan banyak syarikat menghadkan pengambilan pekerja mereka.Sama seperti video yang tular di TikTok baru-baru ini apabila seorang gadis meluahkan rasa kecewanya kerana dipandang rendah disebabkan masih tiada pekerjaan tetap.Lihat video penuh itu di bawah:

Sedih ramai tanya kenapa masih tiada kerja setaraf dengan pelajaran

Malah, dia juga telah memohon pekerjaan menerusi pelbagai platform yang sesuai dengan jurusannya. Tetapi rezeki masih belum berpihak kepadanya."Sehingga saya grad pada Oktober, tapi nampaknya belum ada rezeki lagi. Saya kerja syif, kalau di sebalah pagi kerja, waktu malam mesti saya buka laptop untuk job hunting. Tak pernah putus asa, begitulah setiap hari," katanya.Namun, dia masih bersyukur kerana walaupun bekerja sebagai cashier, sekurang-kurangnya dia ada kerja dan pendapatan sendiri.

Named "Capital 21", the mall is developed by Capital City and will span over 1.2 million sq ft.The indoor theme park - MCM Studio - will take up home on the third and fourth levels of the mall, while its retail shops are designated into five themed zones.It is located just a mere 20 minutes away from the Woodlands Checkpoint.

After a slight delay, Capital 21 had its soft opening on 17 October.
Here's what it looks like on the inside:

However, all these magical-looking photos may prove to be deceiving as patrons of the mall have voiced their dissatisfactory experiences

Image via Capital City/Facebook

This patron called out the mall's lack of "basic mall management", as it couldn't even get the mall "clean and shining" before welcoming visitors."The dust is everywhere, no cleaner seen at site, all construction debris and tools is here and there," the patron wrote.

Meanwhile, this patron took photos of the mall's unfinished state. She claimed the mall was so filthy that it turned the colour of her tyres white with dust.

Another patron said that the playground was "really filthy" and questioned if there were any parents who would allow their children to play there.

Capital City has since responded, thanking patrons for the comments and clarifying that the mall is still in its "soft opening" stage

Image via Capital City/Facebook

"Capital City is currently at the soft launching stage and we will strive to improve our standards as soon as possible," the post read."Thank you for your support. We will be extraordinary in the coming months!"

Another mall in Cheras was also recently criticised by netizens for its 'unfinished' look:

Tak tahu macam mana nak masak, telefon mak ayah anda di kampung untuk tanya resepi.

4. Kirim duit raya pun online je!

Image via OHBULAN!

Buat sesuatu yang dapat gembirakan hati anda macam iklan raya ini

It's an oddly random invention. But it's also definitely super practical. Called the Finger Nap, these plastic sanitary gloves look sort of like condoms for your fingers. Here, see for yourself:

As shown above, they're used to help you eat hamburgers, donuts, pizza and any other type of oily food while keeping your precious fingers effectively grease-free

For those of us who've found ourselves accidentally elbow-deep in grease, sauce or sugar, this is a pretty perfect concept. (Except for the fact that it doesn't actually go up to your elbows.)

Touted as a "great help to children and the elderly"(no word on why middle-aged people are excluded"), it is primarily found in Korea

Claimed to be made of biodegradable plastic, Finger Nap is a Eco-friendly product.

25-Year-Old KL Man Who Robbed A Grab Driver Has Now Been Sentenced To 5 Years In Jail

On Tuesday, 25 June, Ampang Sessions Court sentenced an unemployed man to five years' jail and a stroke of the cane after the accused changed his plea to guilty for robbing a Grab driver

Judge Suzanna Hussin meted out the sentence on 25-year-old Mohammed Azlan Shah Zamri and ordered the sentence to run from the date of arrest on 1 November last year.According to NST Online, Mohammed Azlan pleaded guilty to committing gang robbery with two others and threatening the Grab driver, Mok Jun Yue, with a knife before fleeing off with the victim’s three ATM cards, a mobile phone and RM210 cash.

Mohammed Azlan had committed the offence at Jalan Jujur 1/6, Taman Bakti in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, at 4 am on 20 September

Mohammed Azlan seen with others who were charged with the gang robbery of a Grab driver at the Ampang Magistrate's Court on 15 November 2018.

While the charge framed under Section 395 of the Penal Code read together with Section 397 of the same code provides for a maximum jail term of 20 years and whipping, the accused's lawyers appealed for a lighter sentence as he has to help his family

Bernama reported that in taking account of the increasing number of crime cases, Deputy public prosecutor Goh Ai Rene urged for a punitive sentence to serve as a lesson.However, the lawyers Muhammad Razman Sahat and Muhammad Amin Abdullah who were representing the unemployed man appealed for a lighter sentence arguing that he has to help his family after his father was diagnosed with cancer and heart disease.

The father, a prepaid card sales agent, had returned home from work at 1am to find that the dinner prepared by his wife had been finished by their children

"Hungry and furious, he stormed into the living room where his three older children were sleeping, woke them up before he scolded and beat them up," said Timur Laut Police District chief ACP Che Zaimani Che Awang.He then proceeded to further punish the victim by pouring hot water from their water filter machine on her.

It was initially reported that the man's outburst was in response to the victim allegedly stealing RM10 from her mother. However, Che Zaimani confirmed that this was an older and unrelated incident, New Straits Times reported.

After the incident, the man and his wife reportedly fled with their youngest child for fear of being arrested

"Their eldest and third children are now staying with their grandmother who is living at the same flat. Police are in the midst of tracking down the couple who were using a white Proton Saga with a registration plate number PCK 9818," he said, according to Malay Mail.The case is being investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.


"Nanti Mak Marah" - Gelagat Remaja Ini Bila Kena Tahan JPJ Buat Netizen Berdekah Weh!

Isu mengenai memandu tanpa lesen bukanlah satu perkara baru di Malaysia. Boleh dikatakan saban hari ada sahaja kes saman melibatkan perkara ini terutamanya di kalangan golongan muda.

Walaupun tahu ia salah di sisi undang-undang dan boleh dijatuhkan hukuman, masih ramai yang berdegil dan melakukan perbuatan tersebut. Bila ditahan dengan pihak berkuasa barulah menyesal dan cuba merayu supaya dilepaskan. Akan tetapi, ada juga kes di mana mereka cuba lari daripada ditahan pihak berkuasa. Jika bernasib baik, dapatlah menyelamatkan diri. Namun, ada juga yang tidak berjaya dan yang lebih teruk terlibat pula dengan insiden seperti kemalangan dan lain-lain.

Fact-Checking Dr Adham Baba's Claim That PH Failed To Contain The Tabligh Cluster

Health Minister Dr Adham Baba held a video call with UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that was streamed live on Facebook on Saturday, 18 April, where they spoke about the COVID-19 situation in the country

In the live-streamed call, Dr Adham claimed that the previous government failed to contain the tabligh cluster, which grew to become Malaysia's biggest source of COVID-19 infections.The call, about 25 minutes in length, was uploaded on Zahid's official Facebook page."On 10 March, we had a new cluster appear which the previous government failed to contain, which is the tabligh cluster. It happened from 27 February to 3 March. It is very big," the Health Minister said."Until now, we are still unable to stop its spread," he added, claiming that had this cluster been stopped earlier, "the second wave of infections wouldn't have happened" in the country.The Health Minister was referring to the four-day ijtimak tabligh gathering that was held at Sri Petaling Jamek Mosque in Kuala Lumpur and was attended by more than 16,000 attendees.

Image via Zahid Hamidi/Facebook

Given his previously made misleading claim about warm water killing coronavirus, we thought we should fact-check Dr Adham's latest claim

First things first, it appears the Health Minister is not aware that 2020 is a leap year.The month of February had an extra day.The four-day tabligh gathering was held from 27 February and ended on 1 March, not 3 March.Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah detailed the number of attendees and the date of the gathering in this infographic on his official Facebook page back on 13 March.

The first set of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia was reported on 25 January. The numbers remained relatively low and a month later, all 22 cases made a full recovery and were discharged by 26 February.

On 27 February, a 53-year-old Malaysian woman with travel history to Japan became Case 23.Next day, two more cases were reported. It involved a Japanese female national and an Italian male, both foreign nationals working and living in Malaysia. That was all for the month of February.This happened prior to the tabligh cluster, which came to light during the second week of March.

Image via Worldometers

Dr Adham claimed that "if the tabligh cluster was prevented, there would be no second wave. We may only have small clusters."
He then put the blame on the previous government for the failure. However, the Health Minister omitted an important fact from his claim.

When the tabligh gathering was held, Malaysia was without a government from 24 February to 29 February after the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration was collapsed due to the political crisis caused by the current ruling coalition of Perikatan Nasional (PN) which came to power without going through an election.The political crisis, in part, was caused by Dr Adham's party UMNO which allied with several other parties with the sole intention to take down the PH government amidst the COVID-19 situation.In fact, the political crisis continued for at least two more weeks into the month of March, during which, Muhyiddin Yassin, who took Bersatu out of PH to join forces with opposition parties along with Azmin Ali, was sworn in as the eighth Prime Minister on 1 March under his new PN coalition.Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health (MOH) remained without a Health Minister until 10 March. On that day, PN MPs were sworn in to form a new Cabinet with Dr Adham being made the Health Minister.

Another crucial fact that Dr Adham is probably not aware of is that preparation to handle the COVID-19 situation had started in December

MOH, at that time under Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, planned and identified seven hospitals specifically to treat COVID-19 patients even before the first cases were reported on 25 January, according to Dr Noor Hisham."Remember, before we get our first our patient on the 25th of January, our preparation already started in December 2019," the Health D-G, who has been serving in his current role since 2013 and has worked alongside three different Health Ministers, is on record stating Malaysia's COVID-19 preparedness.During his daily press briefing on Thursday, 16 April, Dr Noor Hisham revealed that in order to decongest the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds, the ministry planned, in stages, "to decant some of the services and identify seven COVID-19 hospitals. (Where) we don't treat anything else, but COVID-19 hospitals."

Image via SAYS

The Health Minister, during his call with Zahid, also said that he was on a World Health Organization (WHO) conference call with 500 countries

"I believe what I have done has been acknowledged by the world. I was in a video-conferencing call with the WHO — 500 nations. I was live, it was a video-conference," Dr Adham told Zahid.Then in response to the UMNO president encouraging him to make more public appearances so that he is seen in the frontlines with other senior politicians, the Health Minister added that "in the media, I am always there with my tagline Kita Mesti Menang (we must win)."

So serious question, what type of timeline did he emerge from, his universe has advanced warm water and 500 countries.Think about this folks, he could be a time traveller https://t.co/Pd6RrWRLSK— Michelle Yesudas (@chelle_yesudas) April 18, 2020

Well, we fact-checked this claim, too.While a quick Google search will say there are 195 countries in the world, the real answer depends on how one defines a country and which set of criteria is applied. Still, it's not 500.There are several correct answers to this with 249 countries being the highest number, according to the international standard "country code" list known as ISO 3166-1.Of the 249 countries, 193 are UN members, 45 are inhabited dependent territories, six are uninhabited territories, two are UN observer states, two are states with partial recognition, and one is Antarctica.

In March, Dr Adham received widespread ridicule after he claimed during an appearance on RTM that drinking warm water can kill the virus that causes COVID-19 because the virus "doesn't like heat":

                Health Minister Claims Warm Water Can Kill Coronavirus Because It "Doesn't Like Heat"

Dr Adham Baba made this claim during Bicara Naratif programme on RTM on Thursday night.
