A Boxer & A Patriotic Leader: Meet The Man Who Convinced Our Former PM To Become A Spy

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

Charismatic, intelligent, and patriotic are just some adjectives used to describe Colonel Dato' Yeop Mahidin Mohamed Shariff, who founded a guerrilla force to take down the Japanese army.
But not many might know that this hero was also a boxing champion!

Image via Perak Today

According to this blog post, Yeop was born on 20 February 1918 in Kampung Lambor Kiri in Parit, Perak. Being the son of a customs officer, education was heavily emphasised in Yeop's household. He received his early education at Lambor Kiri and later at Anderson School, Ipoh from 1928 to 1937. During this period, he was very active in sports; he used to be the champion in the Silver Amateur Boxing event under the 'Bantam Weight' category. Yeop had also represented Perak in football, hockey, and cricket — becoming the best cricket batsman, receiving the title of 'Batsman of the year'.

Being patriotic from an early age, Yeop had ambitions to enter the Royal Malay Regiment (RAMD) but was prevented by his headmaster, LD Whitfield, who advised him to take up a civil servant job as a senior government official

Heeding his headmaster's advice, Yeop enrolled at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) in Perak on 7 August 1937. During his time there, he was taught and trained of the duties of a senior government official.After graduating, he was appointed as a magistrate in Telok Anson (now Teluk Intan), Perak in 1938. A year later, he became a magistrate in Kajang, Selangor.In 1940, Yeop moved to Kuala Lipis, Pahang to work as an Assistant District Officer (ADO). While in Kuala Lipis, he became a member of the Local Volunteer Force and was subsequently commissioned as a Junior Lieutenant in the force.

While working as a civil servant, World War II (WWII) broke out, and Yeop seized this opportunity to pursue his ambition of becoming a soldier

Yeop decided to form an anti-Japanese army group known as the Pahang Territorial Guerrilla force, also referred to as Pahang Wataniah.But before that, in 1942, he went to see the Sultan of Pahang first to ask for his blessings to establish the jungle training camp. According to the book Southeast Asia: A Historical Encyclopedia, from Angkor Wat to East Timor, the Pahang Wataniah was initially made up of 250 people, including former members of the Local Volunteer Force. This blog post states that in 1944, Force 136 (a British organisation) joined hands with Pahang Wataniah to take down the Japanese army, under the leadership of Colonel Yeop, Captain Abdul Razak (Tun Abdul Razak, future Prime Minister), and Lieutenant Ghazali Shafie (Dato' Seri Muhammad Ghazali Shafie, future politician).However, Yeop's identity as founder of the Pahang Wataniah was not known by his men as he operated via proxy.One of their biggest successes was when 26 of them ambushed the Japanese army, where they killed 30 to 40 Japanese soldiers and destroyed 41 of their vehicles.This success was the result of Yeop's planning and selection of the ambush site. By then, he had earned the moniker 'Singa Melayu' (Malay Lion) for his bravery and fierceness.

Yeop convinced the future Prime Minister, Abdul Razak, to become a spy for the Pahang Wataniah and obtain critical information for the force

This blog post recounts the story of how our former Prime Minister became a spy for the Pahang Wataniah.Yeop, who was a magistrate at that time, met young Abdul Razak when he just returned to Pahang from studying at Stamford Raffles College, Singapore. Seeing Abdul Razak's enthusiasm to serve his country, Yeop decided to take him under his wing and instructed the former to join the Malayan Civil Service as a spy for the Pahang Wataniah.His flawless cover led to the Japanese administration appointing him as an ADO, who had to coordinate a lot of activities with the Japanese Imperial forces — he even made friends with several of them.However, when the Pahang Wataniah's resistance activities were taken up a notch, the Japanese army began to suspect the people in the Malayan Civil Service as they were the ones who handled details of the Japanese Occupation movement.

Coincidentally, one of Yeop's Japanese friends was killed during the massive Pahang Wataniah ambush. Not wanting Yeop to be arrested for treachery (he did not know that Yeop was the head of the force), he warned Yeop to be careful of Abdul Razak.This was when Yeop knew that the Japanese were suspicious of Abdul Razak's cover. He quickly set out a plan to 'kidnap' Abdul Razak and have him 'executed' for being a Pahang Wataniah traitor.The kidnapping plot worked because the Pahang Wataniah had no idea that Abdul Razak was their spy and that they were actually rescuing him!Everyone only knew of Abdul Razak's sacrifice when he exited the force.

At the same time, the 'Father of Wataniah' quickly climbed the ranks of the Local Volunteer Force and became a commander, holding the rank of Major, in 1945

Around this time, Whitefield offered Yeop to be enrolled in a military course in London, but he rejected the offer. Instead, Yeop sent his subordinates, namely Abdul Razak and Ghazali Shafie.After WWII ended, Yeop was entrusted to destroy the communist forces that were rising during the Malayan Emergency.So, in 1950, Yeop was appointed as the Deputy Director of the 'Home Guard', which was formed to assist the security forces in dealing with the communist threat.However, after the emergency ended eight years later, the Home Guard disbanded and Yeop was instead appointed as Chief Food Denial Officer in Perak. His main responsibility was to ensure that the sympathisers did not provide the communists with food.When the Territorial Army Regiment (AW) was established to replace the Home Guard, Yeop was appointed as its first Director with the rank of Colonel.In addition, he was also the Chairman of Boxing and Football of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) at the time.

Yeop finally left the military in November 1963 and used his education background instead to become the Kuala Lipis District Officer

Yet, he continued to serve the society by being appointed as Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Social Welfare in 1965 and two years later, as FELDA's Director of Settler Affairs.Coming from a family of silat practitioners who served as protectors of the Perak Sultanate, Yeop also became a well-known silat instructor and champion.New Straits Times reported that Yeop was also active in the Malaysian Olympic Movement, taking on the role of chef de mission of the Malaysian contingent during the 1971 South East Asian Peninsular Games (SEA Games) in Kuala Lumpur.Sadly, the 'Father of Wataniah' passed away of old age in 1999. But his patriotic spirit still lives on through the AW!

Your Questions About The payWave Feature And Its Safety, Answered By Visa Malaysia

Visa payWave provides faster transactions and increased convenience while still maintaining Visa's high-security standards. However, there have been several reports circulating on social media that seek to discourage people from using Visa payWave.In light of which, Mr. Ng Kong Boon, Visa Country Manager for Malaysia, has stepped front to address everyone's concerns about Visa payWave.He said that to mitigate and secure Visa transactions, "all transactions processed by Visa's global processing network, VisaNet, are analysed in real-time for their fraud potential" to detect suspicious transactions right at the check-out.And while there are staged demonstrations showing how credit card details could be lifted through a contactless card, this scenario is complex to execute in reality, Ng Kong assured, adding that there's not been a single case of fraud from card issuers or law enforcements globally stemming from such electronic pickpocketing fraud attacks.

The monthly Visa payWave transactions in Malaysia has been growing at more than 60% per month since it was first introduced in the country in 2007. Visa takes protecting cardholders very seriously. Below, they have answered questions about its safety.

How safe is Visa payWave?

Short answer, very safe.Visa regards security as a top priority and has very high-security standards and risk management processes in place to protect all Visa transactions.The security features of Visa payWave-enabled cards and mobile devices include:• Ultra short read range, where the payWave card or mobile device must come very close to the reader to initiate a transaction.• A unique cryptographic code that changes for every contactless transaction.• The power and global reach of the VisaNet system to help identify and prevent fraudulent transactions.

Image via lowyat

Could I be debited twice if I have more than one contactless card?

No.Visa payWave readers are designed to only communicate with one card at a time.If the shop's reader finds more than one contactless card in your wallet or purse, you will be asked to select one card to pay. Therefore, you won't have to worry about being charged twice.

Could I have unknowingly made a purchase if I accidentally walked past the Point of Sale (POS) reader?

No.Because for a purchase transaction to go through, your card has to be waved within 4cm of the contactless terminal for more than half a second.On top of that, the retailer must have first entered the amount at their POS system for you to approve or wave your Visa payWave card at the reader.Additionally, Visa terminals can only process one payment transaction at a time, therefore reducing transaction errors.

Image via YouTube

What information is transmitted from the card during payment?

During payment, the card transmits information such as the account number, expiration date and a unique dynamic code that changes for every in-person transaction. The unique code is different from the one encoded on the magnetic stripe of a Visa card.So, if a criminal attempts to use intercepted data to manufacture and use a counterfeit card, the bank that issued you your card would be able to identify the transaction as fraudulent and stop the transaction from going through.

Image via Visa

Is it possible to create a counterfeit card from intercepted contactless data?

Visa payWave-enabled cards contain an embedded chip that uses advanced cryptographic security to generate a unique code for each and every transaction.So if a criminal attempts to use intercepted data to manufacture a counterfeit card, the bank that issued your card would be able to identify and prevent the transaction.

Teenage Flood Victim Writes About Desperation In Kelantan And The Spirit Of Survival

"...the water level was increasing rapidly," Kelson begins his post, further writing how all he could do was to grab anything that he could think of. Putting everything including their dogs at the back of their car, he, along with a few others, evacuated their home.

"I can see the water level is increasing rapidly.All we can do now is grabbing anything that we can think of. Dogs cried for help. We know we can't leave them behind. So I grabbed them and put them at the back of our car.Evacuated from my home.We went to the nearest school, saving what we can with helping each others. But a few minutes later the water reached the height of my chest and I can tell you I'm the tallest among us.We went back to the school and parked our cars at the highest place we can locate."

        facebook.com

Kelson's first-hand account of the floods, posted on Facebook on 27 December, helps us understand the level of desperation of affected Malaysians and the spirit of survival among them. Here's a summary:

Scarcity of food: There were 32 people and a few packets of bread. Knowing that they could not survive long with few packets of bread, still people helped each other. Some of them dived into the floodwaters and swam to the nearest coconut trees. "The coconuts really help to keep us energised."

"With the total of 32 persons and only a few pack of bread. We still help each others even though we know it won't last long with just a few pack of bread.Chewing on the bread, some of us managed to dived into the water and swim to the nearest coconut trees.Coconut really help to energized us.But we know we have to come-up with something else. Some of us still chewing on the bread, but we were lucky just even to have a few pack of bread to begin with."

        facebook.com

Problem of clean water: Acknowledging how lucky they were to have a few packets of bread to begin with, it was important that they look for clean water to consume. They used metal cans to put out clean water and cooked instant noodles over candles.

"Changing our appetite is really the key to stay energized."

        facebook.com

No sleep: In his deeply personal narrative, Kelson writes how they would hear the sound of people asking for help. But they could not do anything except feel sad for them. And sometimes the sound of a boat. "Not even a single person could sleep at that time."

"Weird sounds playing in our head, sometimes we could listen to the sound of people asking for help. Shouting "Help..!! Help..!!Help..!! " With the humanity that still exist in ourselves, we felt sad for them but we can't do anything. Sometimes the sound of a boat.Not even a single person could sleep at that time. Imagination run wild.We can see, our vehicles slowly devoured by the increasing flood. All we can do is watching from the third floors."

        facebook.com

No help: The next morning, they contacted all the help they thought they could get. But due to the strong current of floodwaters, no one was ready to save them. Kelson understood the situation was pretty bad for anyone to come to the rescue.

"We tried to ask for food and transportation if possible because we know the flood will still continue increasing for a few more days, probably weeks. Sometimes I stole some cookies for my dogs because they are starving too, just like us.At dawn, the sound of the boat cracked our blurred sight. We shouted, trying to ask for food.The boat went by a few times but mostly they will only ignored us."

        facebook.com

Detailing how they thought their only chance was to cling to hope, a boat they saw at a far distance suddenly became their last chance at survival

"We just look at the boat and try to look for miracles. We saw a person sitting in the boat and he was our close friend, who has an amazing experience steering the boat without getting caught with the trees under the flood.They come and bring us some food."

        facebook.com

"I mean real food like rice, fried chicken and stuff. The moment we saw the food, tears started flowing from our eyes."

"We remembered every single moment of our life that we didn't appreciate stuff that we had.Now we know and learn to appreciate food that we have.After we ate, I collect the leftovers from the others and make sure every single dog have something to eat.Staring into their eyes, I realised that they are also breathing creatures just like us, humans."

        facebook.com

Just then, they heard the sound of the same boat, coming back to get them to safety. But the boat could only take three person at a time. Detailing how the boat ride was a scary experience, they did what they had to do to survive.

Pilots of Royal Malaysian Air Force EC275 Cougar put their helicopter in hover, an RMAF commando (PASKAU) carrying essentials is winched down to waiting inflatables boats. The supplies are then delivered to flood victims seeking refuge at this school in Manik Urai, Kota Baru, Kelantan.

"As I was sitting in the boat heading towards safer ground, I can see the water nearly entering the boat sides and it got me thinking about my family and friends left at the school.When I reached the highway, the roadside was muddy and slippery. I climbed my way up with all the might I have left and waited there for the others to reach.I had no choice but to leave my dogs behind. Because the boat was too small to fit for everything. But before I left them, I made sure the leftovers was given to them.Hours went by and finally everyone arrived safely at the roadside."

        facebook.com

He wrote how he can never forget the time when he asked for help but was ignored, how the food supplies were getting fewer, about his house… all to be let go off because safety first. "Now I'm just thinking, what if…"

"-The school collapse.-There was no boat. Would we still be alive?-The water level increased and we have no place to go.-The boat flipped during the rescue mission.Questions keep popping out of my head. Everything is gone. Now we have nothing. But, most importantly everyone is safe, so I’m very thankful for that.We are currently at one of the help centres for flood victims. Hopefully everything is okay..."

        facebook.com

Upon reaching the roadside, everyone was emotional as they could finally meet their siblings and friends. "We were then transported to the nearest centre for flood victims."

"Everyone was transported to the nearest help center for the flood victims.After I've reached the place where all the flood victims had gathered. I saw everyone was terrified with what had happened to their house. I myself felt the same."

        facebook.com

"As we were organised to a place to stay, I went out to buy foods and stuff. As I walk down to the car, the surrounding was totally different. The market was filled with people rushing in and out."

"I walked in, with my parents and I grabbed anything I can get from the shelves. People started pushing around and I noticed there's blood on my shirt. I thought I cut myself but it was just a little cut from the boat ride. The situations was horrible."

        facebook.com

Fight for survival: The situation made him worry more and more, prompting him to take everything that he thought was important and running back to the place where he thought it would be safe

"After keeping everything in my room, I went out to buy medicine. Every clinics in the district was filled with people. I squeezed myself to buy things that my parents needed."

        facebook.com

He shared how at that point of time:

-people would kill for food -people would steal for food -people would lie for food -people would do anything to survive

        facebook.com

He hoped everything would turn out to be okay. Kelson shared his account on 27 December 2014. This map, from 1 January 2015, shows the latest number of evacuees in Kelantan and other states.

"CNY Or Ghost Festival?" – Creepy Chinese New Year Mannequin Haunts M'sians At KL Mall

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

It seems that Chinese New Year (CNY) 2023 is starting to become "scary" new year instead, as more frightening decorations have emerged

On this episode of scary CNY decorations, a creepy mannequin displaying a light green ceongsam went viral on Facebook for the terrifying way it was set up.According to a video uploaded by 988 FM DJ Chan Fong on Monday, 16 January, the mannequin was set up on a platform and had a spotlight positioned at the bottom, shining directly upwards and casting a ghostly glow across its face.To make matters worse, the mannequin's hair was draping down its face, making it look like a character from The Ring.

Image via Chan Fong 陳峰 (Facebook)

Just like any unsuspecting mall patron, Fong was shocked at the mannequin's appearance

"What on earth is this? This (the mannequin) is scary enough to frighten someone to death," Fong said, chuckling to himself in the video.And many netizens agreed with him. Some netizens jokingly said that they didn't know the Hungry Ghost Festival, which is usually held in the month of July, had already arrived.

Image via Facebook

One netizen joked that the same mannequin and set up could be reused for Halloween.

Image via Facebook

In later photos, the display organisers must have seen Fong's video and decided to spruce up the figures to make the figures look less scary

The next time the mannequin had its photo taken, it had its hair tied into two pigtails, with its fringe parted so its face could be seen clearly.

Image via Facebook

However, not long after, the mannequin set up soon disappeared altogether. Fong has also since confirmed its absence and apologised to the mall for leading to the removal of the mannequins.

Not sure why the mall took down the mannequins... or did they?

Speaking of creepy mannequins, these CNY rabbit statues in Indonesia look like they came straight out of a zombie film:

"A mother is willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of her child."

That was what Facebook user Lynn Ahmad had to say when she saw how a mother worked hard to put food on the table for her three young children. She said that it was a sad sight to see the woman who struggled to take care of the three children while selling nasi lemak. The woman was seen straddling her youngest child in a baby carrier, while her two other young children sat by the roadside and waited for her.Lynn, who has two children herself, said that she could understand how tired the woman must have felt as she has to look after her kids while manning her stall and attending to customers.

Image via Lynn Ahmad

"Her nasi lemak is seriously delicious, do try and buy many of them so that she can head home early."

Image via Lynn Ahmad

Lynn urged passers-by to pay her a visit and support the woman by buying nasi lemak from her stall, which was set up nearby a Petronas petrol station at the MRR2 by Tesco Ampang. She said that the nasi lemak only costs RM1 each.

Following the viral post, many Malaysians have flocked to the woman's stall for cheap and delicious nasi lemak

Image via Dik Mas

A netizen shared today, 27 July, that a crowd of people had gathered to buy nasi lemak and lend their support for the young mother.  In the video posted by Saifullah Sazwin, there were at least a dozen people who can be seen queuing up to buy food. As her popularity grew, several netizens recognised the woman and identified her as 'Kak Ain'.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro Has Noise Cancellation That Can Even Filter Out Helicopter Sounds

HUAWEI just unveiled the all-new FreeBuds Pro, the world's first true wireless stereo earphones with intelligent dynamic noise cancellation

Image via HUAWEI

As a pioneer and innovator of true wireless stereo earphones, HUAWEI is once again pushing boundaries with the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro. Sleek and functional, these exceptional earphones will free you from wires, while allowing you to enjoy excellent sound quality, exquisite craftsmanship, and long-lasting comfort. Plus, these earphones feature a unique form of active noise cancellation technology that will help you disconnect from the outside world or stay partially connected, whichever you prefer.

Image via Phandroid

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro adopts the Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation Technology. The earphones have inward-facing and outward-facing microphones to detect surrounding sounds, and the dynamic drivers generate accurate anti-noise signals to cancel out those sounds precisely.With active noise cancellation enabled, the battery can last up to 4.5 hours. Without noise cancellation enabled, the battery lasts a whole 7 hours.

What's crazy about these earphones is that it can even filter out noises like a helicopter's loud engine and propeller sound with ease

Image via ImpactBND

While not all of us go on helicopter rides frequently, perhaps a more relatable experience would be our daily commute to work on the LRT or MRT.Whenever the train enters a tunnel, it produces a screeching sound that never fails to cut you off during phone calls. With HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro's intelligent dynamic noise cancellation, that won't be a problem any more. In fact, the earphones are able to achieve up to 40 dB noise cancelling effect, allowing you to experience peace and tranquillity amidst noisy environments.

On top of that, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro can intelligently sense the surrounding environment and automatically switch between three modes

Ultra ModeLay back with deeply enhanced noise cancellation when travelling. This mode allows you to lose yourself in the music and stay away from outside disturbances. Thanks to the noise cancellation, you won't have to turn the volume up so high, which means you can protect your ears.Cozy ModeThis mode keeps you focused by removing all background noise, whether it's paper flipping, typing, computers, and the occasional chatter in the office, café, or other quiet environments. General ModeIf you're always on the go, this mode helps you enjoy the immersive music or game sounds from your phone, while greatly reducing ambient noise from bustling streets or crowded places.

Image via HUAWEI

When you need to talk to someone, you won't have to worry about taking off your earphones. Instead, with just a long press, you can switch to Awareness Mode and reconnect with your surroundings. You can also choose the Voice Mode to reduce ambient sounds, while making human voices stand out, so you never miss airport broadcasts or quick chats with friends passing by.

Image via HUAWEI

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro also comes with a few other smart controls to help you get through your daily tasks seamlessly. With just a swipe, press, or pinch, you can control various functions like your volume, calls, and music.

Here's A List Of Lesser-Known Reforms Dr Maszlee Enforced As Malaysia's Education Minister

Earlier today, 2 January, Dr Maszlee Malik announced that he is resigning from his position as Minister of Education effective 3 January

Dr Maszlee's shocking announcement at a special press conference in Putrajaya was followed by media reports about him tendering his resignation over controversies such as Khat among others.

While his time as the Education Minister was marred by excessively negative press, there is a long list of policies Dr Maszlee implemented that shows the Minister was, in fact, doing a good job.
Here's an overview of the initiatives he enforced during his time:

1. He introduced free breakfast programme at schools

The initiative, 'Program Sarapan Percuma', to be carried out in national schools and government-aided schools this year, will ensure that all students, especially the poor, wouldn't go hungry while learning.It is expected to benefit 2.7 million students across the country.

2. He abolished examinations for students in Year One to Three

The policy, which was implemented in 2019, ensured that schools adopted a "learning-centred" approach instead of an "exam-oriented" one so that the emphasis is on the students' character development.

10 Sebab kenapa Peperiksaan Tahap 1 DimansuhkanSelari dengan pendekatan pendidikan ke arah "learning centered", bukan lagi "exam oriented". #pendidikanuntuksemua#malaysiamembaca pic.twitter.com/FeGzbBzEgo— Maszlee Malik (@maszlee) January 6, 2019

3. He implemented a streamless school system

The initiative, which has come into effect this year, meant that Form Four students won't need to choose between Science and Art streams, thus giving them more flexibility in picking subjects.

4. He empowered disabled people with his OKU Inclusion Policy

Dr Maszlee announced that all public universities are required to implement the Disabled Person (OKU) Inclusion Policy and establish an OKU Services Unit for the 2019/2020 students intake.The policy will ensure that there is no longer a separation of OKU students from other students.Since the implementation of the OCU Inclusion Policy, 466 students with disabilities were offered places of study at public universities for the 2019/2020 intake out of 547 applicants.

5. Implemented policies to allow teachers to focus on teaching instead of having to deal with clerical workloads

Under Dr Maszlee, the Education Ministry engaged in several initiatives to help ease the burden of teachers such as increasing resources in schools, reducing paperwork, etc.According to Bernama, among the transformations were facilitating the management of file and documentation, data management and online systems, giving teachers the freedom to devise the implementation of Literacy and Numeracy (Linus) appropriate to the needs of students.He also approved the transfer of 15,565 teachers who were previously unhappy.

Image via theSundaily

6. He introduced Integrated Special Education Programmes (PPKI) to make education more accessible to special needs students (MBK)

The program involving 1,109 classes will benefit 7,600 special needs students.According to Dr Maszlee, a total of 421 Integrated Special Education Programmes (PPKI) will be implemented this year for special needs students (MBK)."The extension (of the programmes), which involves an allocation of RM54 million, is to provide facilities for special needs children to give them better access to education."

×

7. He brought in a policy allowing all stateless and undocumented children in the country to be able to go to school

Under him, the Education Ministry simplified the registration process for children without citizenship into government schools, thus allowing many children to get their wish to finally go to school.A total of 427 stateless and undocumented children were allowed to go to school in 2019.

Image via New Straits Time

In addition to the above policies in 2019, the Education Ministry under Dr Maszlee carried out 53 initiatives which ensured:

- 452 schools out of 534 dilapidated schools are now safe and operational,- 1,216 dilapidated science labs were repaired,- Students did better in reading, mathematics, and science in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 assessment compared to 2012,- 120 local universities were listed in the QS-World Universities Ranking (WUR) 2020 and 29 public and private higher learning institutions were listed in QS Asia 2020,- Increased access for nearly 5,000 students from low- income communities in fully-sponsored state boarding schools.

Highlights From The Revised Budget 2016 And How It Affects You

On Thursday, 28 January 2016, Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is also the Finance Minister, announced a revised Budget 2016. The PM said that the recalibration is necessary due to a slump in global oil prices and a slower economic growth in the USA and China.

The Prime Minister said the government revenue would be based on Brent crude oil at US$30 to US$35 per barrel when compared with the US$48 when it prepared the Budget 2016 last year. He also said the economy was expected to grow at a slower pace of between 4% and 4.5% when compared with the earlier forecast of 4% to 5%.

        thestar.com.my

Image via AFP

In essence, 11 recalibrated key measures were announced. Saying the recalibrated budget was based on the approach of "shared responsibility" by certain segments of society, Najib assured that the lower-income groups will not be affected, and continue to benefit from measures such as the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M).

He also said that Malaysia would not resort to imposing capital controls and pegging the Ringgit, such as was done during the 1997-1998 financial crisis."The Government remains committed to maintaining the fiscal consolidation measures for 2016, which is to achieve a GDP target of 3.1%. Our country's debt will be reduced and will not exceed 55% of the GDP. The Government also has no plans to impose capital controls and peg the Ringgit," he said.

        thestar.com.my

Here are the 11 recalibrated key measures:

1. EPF contributions by employees to be reduced by 3%. This is expected to increase private sector spending by RM8bil.2. Tax relief of up to RM2,000 to those with income RM8,000 a month or lower. Two million taxpayers to benefit.3. To reduce cost of living, Govt to liberalise APs for agricultural products including coffee beans and meats.4. Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry ordered to increase enforcement and action against unethical traders.5. 30% of contributions to the human resource development fund to be utilised for skills training, including those who are unemployed.6. MyBeras programme to be introduced until Dec 2016. Each hardcore poor family will be given 20kg of rice every month.7. The Government will update the management system of foreign workers, with levies clustered into two categories, not including foreign maids.8. Government will exercise prudent spending on supplies and services and to continue with grant rationalisation.9. Development budget to focus on projects and programmes that place the people first, have high multiplier effect and reduce imports.10. Development financial institutions and Government venture capital funds to increase allocations by RM6bil for benefit of start-ups and SMEs.11. GLCs urged to implement initiatives to reduce the income gap between senior management and workers, to be monitored by the Economic Planning Unit.

One of the above key measures is to reduce the employees' contribution to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) by 3% from March 2016, which will bring their current contribution of 11% of their monthly salaries to EPF down to 8%. However, the percentage of employers' contribution remains the same, PM Najib said.

"This measure is expected to increase private consumption expenditure by RM8bil a year," he said.Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani said the EPF contribution reduction has put more money into the rakyat's pockets."Employees will receive returns of 3% of their EPF contribution immediately. So if your income is RM5,000 a month, you will receive RM150. Over twelve months, that's extra money to spend," he said, adding that increasing consumer spending will stimulate the economy.EPF said they would be releasing a press statement on the matter soon.

        thestar.com.my

There's also tax exemption of RM2,000 for Malaysians earning RM8,000 and below for the financial year of 2015, a move, PM Najib added, that would affect two million taxpayers

"Although the Government will forego revenue of RM350mil, it will provide individual tax savings of up to RM475, which will benefit some two million taxpayers," he said.

        thestar.com.my

There's much to celebrate for the JPA scholarship hopefuls in the revised Budget 2016, as the government will continue the following four Public Service Department (JPA) scholarships for 2016:

1. The National Scholarship Programme (Program Biasiswa Nasional) will allow 20 top SPM-scorers to pursue their studies in universities abroad;2. The Engineering Special Programme (Program Khas Kejuruteraan) for 200 students to pursue their studies in Germany, France, Korea and Japan;3. The Bursary Programme (Program Lepasan Bursary) for 744 students to pursue their undergraduate degrees in public and private higher education institutions in the country; and4. Scholarships for 8,000 students to pursue undergraduate degrees locally.

        themalaysianinsider.com

On the other hand, the government is going keep its promise of 1 July 2016 additional salary increase for civil servants and will also not touch civil service emoluments and will not stop the services of contract staff in the public sector, PM Najib added.

Jika diukur pada tahap umur golongan muda yang berusia antara 23 hingga 40 tahun, sepatutnya mereka sedang atau telah membina tapak yang kukuh untuk mendapatkan kehidupan masa depan yang cerah seperti mempunyai pekerjaan yang stabil, berkeluarga dan mempunyai kualiti hidup yang baik. Kualiti hidup yang baik seringkali dihubungkait dengan memiliki rumah yang selesa.Bagi mereka yang belum mempunyai rumah tetapi bercita-cita untuk memilikinya, lebih-lebih yang menjadikan azam tahun baru ini untuk membeli rumah, boleh mengikuti panduan di bawah.

Afiq Shamnazri, seorang Penasihat Hartanah telah berkongsikan tips dan panduan kepada Pembeli Rumah Pertama dalam laman Twitter peribadinya

Menurut Afiq, terdapat tiga fasa yang perlu ditempuhi bagi membeli dan memiliki sebuah rumah iaitu Fasa persediaan, Fasa pembelian, dan Fasa tukar nama.

(1) Fasa persediaan

Apabila seseorang itu mempunyai niat untuk membeli rumah, perkara pertama sekali yang dia perlu lakukan adalah menyemak kelayakan pinjaman (loan) dengan bank, melainkan rumah tersebut hendak dibeli secara tunai (cash).Bank akan merujuk kepada 3 perkara sebelum memberi pinjaman adalah Pendapatan (Income), Scoring dan CCRIS.

(i) IncomeFormula = (KOMITMEN LAMA + KOMITMEN RUMAH YANG HENDAK DIBELI) / NET INCOME x 100*Jika nilai lebih 70%, bank akan menolak permohonan anda.

(ii) ScoringScoring bermaksud pemohon mempunyai ciri-ciri orang yang boleh membayar hutang. Oleh itu bank akan melihat sama ada pekerjaan pemohon itu stabil ataupun tidak, status pekerjaan itu sama ada tetap atau kontrak serta tahap pendidikan pemohon dan lain-lain. Perkara-perkara ini adalah added value dalam setiap permohonan.

(iii) CCRISCCRIS adalah catatan atau record segala commitment serta hutang pemohon dengan bank. Sekiranya pemohon mempunyai commitment dengan bank, bank akan melihat sama ada pemohon membayarnya mengikut masa yang telah ditetapkan.Pemohon masih boleh membuat permohonan walaupun tidak mempunyai sebarang record dalam CCRIS.Tips yang diberi Afiq adalah: JANGAN FULLY UTILIZE THE LOAN. Contohnya: Sekiranya bank memberi pinjaman sebanyak 300k, pemohon disarankan mengambil 250k sahaja. Selain itu, lampirkan semua dokuman yang ada seperti sijil degree, simpanan Tabung Haji dan lain-lain kerana ianya boleh dijadikan added value dalam permohonan.

Antara dokumen yang bank akan perlukan adalah:1. Salinan IC2. Payslip3. Bank Statement4. EPF Statement5. Employment LetterNamun begitu, ejen hartanah anda boleh tolong semakkan kelayakan loan bahkan juga berhubung dengan pihak bank. Hanya serahkan sahaja segala dokumen tersebut kepada ejen anda.

Selesai sahaja perihal pinjaman, fikirkan pula hal deposit. Deposit biasanya 10% dari harga rumah. Sebagai contoh, harga rumah bernilai 200k, oleh itu perlu sediakan deposit sebanyak RM20k.“Kalau tak cukup boleh ke bang?”Boleh, dengan cara, MARK UP LOAN. Beli rumah bernilai RM200k, ambil loan sebanyak RM220k. Namun begitu, apabila membuat mark up loan, installment  akan tinggi sikit ditambah pula dengan lain-lain bayaran seperti legal fees kerana semuanya akan tertakluk mengikut harga mark up itu.

Kemudian, berapa sahaja nilai loan yang anda ambil, anda perlu plan perihal rumah tadi. Sebagai contoh anda perlu fikirkan sama ada untuk tinggal di rumah tersebut ataupun sewakan, tinggal lama atau sekejap, dalam masa 5 tahun akan beli rumah lain ataupun tidak serta lain-lain commitment di masa akan datang seperti berkahwin ataupun membeli kereta baru.Mengapa perlu plan? Kerana apabila anda mengambil loan, anda mempunyai commitment untuk membayarnya SETIAP BULAN. Makan, perbelanjaan anda juga akan berubah sikit. Selepas mempunyai proper plan, anda dikira sudah settle fasa pertama bermakna anda sudah bersedia untuk membeli rumah.

(2) Fasa pembelian

Sesudah masuk ke fasa ini, anda perlu refer semula kepada plan semasa fasa persediaan terlebih dahulu. Kemudian, anda boleh mula untuk 'window shopping'! Anda bolehlah mencari rumah yang anda berkenan serta match dengan plan anda itu tadi.Setelah jumpa rumah yang berkenan, anda haruslah membayar booking untuk proceed.

Payment MESTILAH dibuat kepada property agency ATAU law firm. JANGAN bank in kepada akaun personal.Harga booking ialah 3% dari harga rumah itu. Contohnya harga rumah adalah RM200k maka booking fee adalah (3% x RM200,000) = RM6000.Setelah selesai book, owner (iaitu anda) akan menandatangan satu borang (form). Form itu nanti attach sekali dengan dokumen-dokumen untuk loan tadi. Kemudian, pemohon perlu submit kesemua dokumen itu kepada bank untuk apply loan. Ejen anda pun boleh tolong hantarkan.

Image via Rumah Syariah Berkah

Sekiranya, dokumen-dokumen itu telah lengkap, dalam masa seminggu sahaja anda sudah boleh mendapat approval untuk loan.Apabila loan sudah approve, ejen akan memaklumkan kepada peguam hartanah untuk menyediakan Sales & Purchase Agreement (SnP). Dalam masa 2 minggu sahaja anda sudah boleh tandatangan.Semasa menandatangan SnP ini, anda perlu membayar balance deposit. Booking tadi sudah bayar 3%, bukan? Oleh itu ada lagi 7% balance. Bermakna (7% x RM200,000) = RM14,000.Kalau markup loan, anda tidak perlu membayar perkara ini kerana anda harus menunggu semua perkara selesai baru anda boleh dapat duit.

(3) Fasa tukar nama

Menurut Afiq, fasa ini pemohon boleh tenang sikit kerana kebanyakan kerja akan dilakukan oleh peguam hartanah.Rumah freehold kebiasaan mengambil masa 3-4 bulan untuk tukar nama manakala rumah leasehold mengambil masa 6 bulan ke 1 tahun.

Image via Halal Money

Berbeza pula dengan rumah low cost, akan mengambil masa lambat sedikit kerana perlu meminta persetujuan atau consent owner terdahulu.Untuk rumah low cost, pemohon hanya perlu follow up sebulan sekali pada lawyer untuk tanya progress. Tidak perlu marah-marah lawyer kerana proses ini bukan melibatkan satu pihak sahaja.

Image via Gila Hartanah

Apabila sudah settle semua, lawyer akan menghubungi anda untuk check rumah. Anda perlu datang untuk melihat rumah tersebut dikhuatiri ada perkara yang anda tidak suka atau sebarang defect, maka anda boleh segera memaklumkannya untuk claim. Sekiranya semuanya okay, maka, anda boleh mengambil kunci dari lawyer.

Selesai! Anda sudah mendapat kunci rumah pertama anda!

M'sian City Life #25: My Interviewer's First Question Was About My Race

Venoshini Sevalimgam came back to Malaysia during her summer break in hopes of securing a place in an internship programme

Image via International Council of Malaysian Scholars and Associates (ICMS)

A few weeks before she came back from the UK, Venoshini applied for a few internship positions. She really wanted to do something related to her degree in Chemical Engineering. Unfortunately for the 22-year-old, things didn't go as planned.Competition was tough and her applications were rejected because she was inexperienced and they were only looking for penultimate year students, while she was only in her second year. Still, she was going to do something worthwhile during her break so she decided that she should get a part-time job.  "I live in Melaka and I was thinking that if I don't have an internship, I could look for a part-time job in Melaka," Venoshini said.

A quick search on Google brought her to a Facebook page for part-time jobs in Malacca, and Venoshini was quick to call up the companies listed on the page

Photo for illustration purposes only.
Image via Teachers Resource

One of the jobs listed on the page was a 2-week job as a promoter for a shoe brand in one of the major shopping malls in Melaka.  "The post did not state any particular race as a requirement, but it did clearly mention that they require applicants to speak certain languages. They wanted anyone who could speak Malay, English and Mandarin." Venoshini, who can speak Malay and English fluently as well as understand Mandarin and speak a little of it, thought that she could give it a shot and call up the person in charge.

She had little expectations, but Venoshini was left speechless when the interviewer asked about her race

"I introduced myself, stating that I saw his post and was interested but I noticed that I have passed the date he required a promoter. Mind you I was speaking in English and then he answered in Malay," she recalled.  "The first thing he asked me was if I saw the job posting on Facebook. I answered, 'Yes'.""Then he followed up with, 'Awak bangsa apa? Cina? Melayu?' (What is your race? Chinese? Malay?)" "I answered, 'India'."

"Then, there was a long pause on his side. He stuttered like he was lost for words."

She noted that he took quite some time to gather his thoughts but the conversation has become rather quite awkward at that point."He flatly told me that he already has a promoter and said that he could call back if he needed me." "I respect him for telling me that the position was filled but in my mind, I just don't see what my race had anything to do with the call."

"What's gnawing at the back of my head was the fact that he asked me about my race first, and continued the conversation from there."

Venoshini felt that he could have asked her if she could speak Mandarin and Malay and she could have easily prove to him that she could. However, she decided that there was no worth in convincing this person that she could do the job. "The conversation ended there because he totally put me off and I didn't want to convince him that I was worth hiring anyway," she said. "When I look back at this, a part of me somehow feels like I'm blowing this out of proportion because maybe, he was telling the truth. Maybe, he just didn't need another promoter. But it just annoys me because he judged me based on one question, 'Awak bangsa apa?'"

Although she was discouraged, things took a positive turn for Venoshini as she managed to secure a lab assistant position

"I told myself to just look for part-time jobs since I was 'desperate'. I needed to do something over the summer. Otherwise, I'll just be a couch potato."  Despite her scepticism that no professor would offer her such a position because she was only in her second year, Venoshini is spending her summer break helping a lecturer with research at a local university.  Before she landed this part-time job, she also called up other companies looking for a job. Generally, the calls were quite pleasant.  "When you look at it that way, most of my phone interviews have been amazing. That one (for the shoe promoter job) was the only sour one I have had so far."

"You, sir, on the other side of the line, I will never know you but you could've just missed out on a stellar employee."

Venoshini noted that many advertisements in Malaysia actually state what race they prefer, but she thinks that it is time for this culture to change."Is a person's credibility really based on their race?""It's really difficult to change a person's preconceived notion of a certain race. To be honest, I'll never know what was going through the person's mind when I said I was Indian. All I knew was that there was a long pause," Venoshini said about her own experience.  She admitted that she was left wondering if she had said that she is of a different race, perhaps the outcome of the incident could have been different, but she will never know for sure.  "I just couldn't help but feel a bit hurt to be honest."

2 Million Sarawakians Experienced 7-Hour Blackout Last Night

Sarawak power went out for seven hours from 5.40pm

Sarawak was plunged into darkness, causing massive traffic jams and bringing business here and in other major towns to a sudden standstill.

        thestar.com.my

As of 9.30pm power was partially restored in Miri City, especially in the residential areas of Permyjaya but Bintulu was hit by another blackout at 9.05pm.

        abnxcess.com

Power supply to Kuching city has been fully restored while Miri and Bintulu experienced partial restoration as of 10.45pm tonight after a tripped circuit at the Kemena-Bintulu transmission line, early today, had caused a state-wide blackout.

        abnxcess.com

The fact is that power supply interruptions are not unusual in Sarawak. The state had experienced several blackouts last year with the longest lasting about three hours.

        thestar.com.my

The  blackout left 2 million people powerless

Over two million people in Sarawak are affected by the statewide blackout caused by tripped circuits at the Kemena-Bintulu transmission lines at 5.40pm.

The blackout could not have occurred at a worse time.
When traffic lights suddenly stopped during the rush hour, there was chaos. At least one multi-vehicle pile-up was reported at a junction here.

        thestar.com.my

The blackout which occurred at 5.40pm this evening caused traffic congestion over two kilometres at the Jalan Satok flyover and Jalan Tun Abang Openg junction and other roads, here, as traffic lights malfunctioned due to the blackout.

        abnxcess.com

In Miri, the residents were without electricity until 8.30pm while the blackout had also earlier caused traffic jams in the city centre, especially near shopping complexes.

Sarawak Energy Bhd said the electricity disruption was due to tripped circuits at the Kemena-Bintulu transmission power line at 5.40pm yesterday.

        thestar.com.my

In Miri, the dam’s operators said they had nothing to do with the outage.
Bakun Dam chief engineer Zulkifle Osman said: “Every one of our machinery is in good working condition, and we did not face any major technical breakdown before the blackout.

Still Struggling With Mandarin? Skype Has Released A Feature To Help Desperate 'Bananas'

Been waiting to improve your command of a foreign language or talk to that friend of yours on the other side of the world?

Image via Giphy

Well now you can! Microsoft, the owner of Skype, has introduced a cool instant translation feature last December. After 5 months of testing, the feature is now available for all to use.

Image via Extreme Tech

Skype Translator helps you communicate across language barriers, bringing people closer together. Simply set up a Skype Translator video or voice call with someone on almost any Skype client who speaks another language and start talking. Translator is currently available in English, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin.

        skype.com

How does Skype do it? Skype Translation uses a series of voice and powered text translation to interpret languages. It is able to translate up to 5 languages. It is also able to translate up to 40 different languages in written word.

Image via Skype

A creation of Microsoft’s Research Lab, it’s comprised of voice translation and Bing Translate-powered text interpretation. When you speak, your words are translated, recorded to a transcript, and relayed in your Skype video call partner’s native language (Italian, Chinese, English, Spanish, or Mandarin are supported).

        digitaltrends.com

Sounds pretty cool right? And the app is fairly easy to use too. However, there's a catch. The app is only available currently for users with either Windows 8 or 10.

Image via Microsoft

The app shows users the real-time translation of a chat in another language. Once you download the app, you need to open Skype and choose the friend with whom you’re having the chat in another language. You then need to turn Translate on in the options and set your friend’s language. Once you do that, your video/audio call will automatically be translated both in text and audio format in real-time.

        indianexpress.com

How does Skype Translator stack up to Google Translator? Skype Translator seemed to be one step ahead solely because of the interpretation of spoken word in real time.

In conjunction with the launch of the app, Skype released a video of how the Skype translator has been used by Pro Mujer, a New-York based NGO, to help women in Latin America. Watch the video here:

It's Been 9 Months Since UUM Student Vinosiny's Death But Police Probe Is Still Incomplete

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

Vinosiny Sivakumar was found dead in her hostel room at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) in Sintok, Kedah, on 21 May last year.
It's been nine months since then, however, the police have yet to conclude their investigation into the 20-year-old UUM student's death.

According to Higher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin, the ministry has not been informed about the result of the police investigation into Vinosiny, who was found dead in her hostel room.Khaled was answering a question posed by Klang member of parliament (MP) V Ganabatirau in Dewan Rakyat yesterday, 14 February, during which he added that as such, he will not comment further.

Khaled, who is Kota Tinggi MP, expressed sympathy for Vinosiny's family while stating that her death is still under police investigation

He said that the ministry takes the welfare and safety of students, especially those on campuses, seriously and that it has taken several steps to prevent the same incident from happening again.Among the steps taken, the ministry has ordered all the institutions to re-evaluate the safety of their respective premises, strengthen their governance and management of building maintenance, and periodic audits on building maintenance and student safety with reports to be submitted to the ministry, he added.

Vinosiny died a week after she returned to campus

Her father, R Sivakumar, had said that she returned to campus to continue the fourth semester of her accounting and information system studies on 14 May and on 21 May, he was informed about her death.A week after, UUM issued a gag order against students from speaking publicly, organising or attending any events related to the 20-year-old student's death.


PAS Says They'll Take Over Putrajaya In GE15 After PH Helps Settle Country’s Debt

In a viral YouTube video, Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS)'s vice president Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said he wanted the new government to clean up the RM1 trillion debt before taking Putrajaya in five years' time

Malaysiakini reported Mohd Amar as saying that he wants to watch the new government solve Malaysia's debt before taking over Putrajaya in the next general election."We can't govern Malaysia with such a huge debt. (Let them) take first, we'll take over Malaysia in five years," he was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini.The video was reportedly taken on 18 May when he was giving a lecture.

Mohd Amar used Barisan Nasional (BN)'s 12-year reign in Kelantan as an example

The Star reported him as saying that it was under BN's rule that Kelantan experienced most of its developments.PAS lost the state to BN in 1978, before retaking it in 1990."God is smart, within 12 years... He allowed others to rule and to develop... until the state is ready for us to return to power," Mohd Amar was quoted as saying by The Star."We can use what they prepared. So, we'll give them five years to solve the problems," he added.

Umum sedia maklum, Charles Brewer kini memegang jawatan sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan Pos Malaysia Berhad sejak 1 Ogos lalu dan kini beliau menjadi perhatian netizen kerana bersikap sporting

Menerusi posting dalam akaun sosial rasmi syarikat berkenaan, beliau yang berasal dari Britain itu tampil 'turun padang' dan bertugas sebagai posmen Pos Laju di sekitar ibu kota.“Terima kasih kerana sudi memilih Pos Malaysia sebagai rakan kurier anda. Kami bersyukur menerima tiga kali ganda lebih daripada kebiasaan ketika Kempen Jualan 9/9 lalu,” katanya.Beliau yang berpengalaman 34 tahun memegang pelbagai jawatan penting dalam syarikat kurier terbesar global, DHL berpusat di Jerman itu, malah tidak kekok menghantar bungkusan.Tambahnya lagi, beliau memang sudah biasa dengan suasana negara ini apatah lagi isterinya, June adalah warga Malaysia serta dua anaknya, Ella dan Henry menetap di ibu negara.Tonton video penuh yang dimuat naik oleh Pos Malaysia di Facebook baru-baru ini:
