The bags come in several colours and variety, much like the original Lay's potato chips, except the names of the flavours are replaced with the word Balenciaga

In an Instagram post, the designer, Demna showed us the details of the potato chip bags, or officially known as the L.O.L clutch bags. Complete with the nutritional values and calorie information on the bag, those unsuspecting would definitely think these were normal bags of Lay's potato chips.

The inspiration of the handbags came to fruition due to Demna's love for chips

In a report from Good Morning America, a Balenciaga representative stated that, "Demna loves chips in general, and has carried a bag of Lay's potato chips as an accessory before.""He is also interested in transforming everyday objects into elevated material innovations, a reflection on the Dadaist Readymade project and on the objects that become most ubiquitous in our modern lives," the representative further explained.

Since it went viral, many have gone online to voice out their opinions on the high-fashion bags:

While most were confused as to why they designed these, some were begging for Lay's to fill their potato chip bags with less air.

Other users teasingly commented that they can look high fashion while eating a bag of chips while another pointed out that it's now an expensive bag of air.

11 Missing After A Chinese Cargo Ship Collides With A Container Vessel Near Hong Kong

On 5 May, A Chinese Cargo Ship Collided With A Container Vessel And Sank Just Outside Hong Kong Waters, Leaving 11 Crewmen Missing

The incident near Po Toi Island involved a cargo ship and a container vessel, shown here

At least 11 crew members have been reported missing after two ships collided off the coast of southern Hong Kong. The accident happened at around 2.30 a.m. local time when the Marshall Islands-registered MOL Motivator, a 300-meter long container ship, collided with a smaller Chinese vessel, the Zhong Xing 2. The incident occurred three nautical miles southwest of Po Toi island, Marine Police said.

        bbc.com

The Cargo Ship Is Believed To Have Sunk With Its 12-Crewmen Onboard. One Man Was Rescued By A Fishing Boat.

The rescued man, a 46-year-old Chinese national, is being treated at a Hong Kong hospital, where his condition is stable.

The mission was being co-ordinated by the Guangdong Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre and Hong Kong had also sent rescue boats and a helicopter to the area, the South China Morning Post newspaper said. China was sending more than a dozen ships and at least three helicopters to the area, state-run Xinhua news agency said.

Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration, which is spearheading search-and-rescue efforts, said the search remains under way, but rescuers have so far made no progress in locating the missing people.

Hong Kong's waters are notoriously crowded. Hundreds of vessels, from wooden sampans to enormous container ships, ply the shipping routes that criss-cross the territory, one of the world's busiest ports, every day.

        telegraph.co.uk

Last year, about 85 people were injured when a high-speed ferry near the island of Hei Ling Chau hit what officials said was an unidentified object. The ferry, which was travelling from Hong Kong to Macau, had 105 passengers and 10 crew on board. In 2012, 39 people died when a pleasure boat and a high-speed ferry collided off Lamma Island - considered the worst maritime accident in decades. The captains of the two vessels were charged with several counts of manslaughter.

Here's An Official Breakdown Of Malaysia's RM1 Trillion Debt

Since the day Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made the shocking revelation that Malaysia's debt now stands at an alarming RM1 trillion, opposition parties have been asking for a clarification

The RM1 trillion debt figure stood in stark contrast to the figure given by the former prime minister Najib Razak, who was also the Finance Minister.Last year, Najib had told the Dewan Rakyat in a written reply that the federal government's debt position stood at RM685.1 billion as of June 2017.So on 23 May, Najib took to his official Facebook page to warn that further confusing and misleading statements would result in actual losses to the country."Coming out to say that our country's government debt to GDP is now 65%, which is a big jump from the official 50.9% figure, and that our debt is now RM1 trillion without giving any details of what you mean will just unsettle the financial markets, alarm the credit rating agencies and investors confidence in our institutions."

Others from Barisan Nasional coalition accused Tun Dr Mahathir of randomly "picking" up the figure and asked for an explanation

Wanita MCA vice-chairman Senator Ong Chong Swen, in urging for a clarification on how the figure of RM1tril was calculated, said that "if there is confusion, foreign investors will lose confidence and further affect the country's economic stability".UMNO Youth deputy chief Khairul Azwan Harun even questioned the motive behind the announcement, asking if it "amounted to a political blame game"."Is his adviser failing to provide accurate information or is it just a political trick so people think that the rate of national debt increased because of the weakness of the previous government?", Khairul asked in his statement on Monday, 21 May.

So on Thursday, 24 May, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng gave a breakdown of the government debt and liabilities that actually exceeds the RM1 trillion figure, standing at RM1.087 trillion

Image via NST Online

The government's debt and liabilities as at 31 December 2017:

1. Federal government debt of RM686.8 billion, or 50.8% of GDP.2. Lease payments for public-private projects of RM201.4 billion, or 14.9% of GDP.According to LGE, the government is obligated to pay for the rental, maintenance and other costs on a number of "Public-Private Partnership" (PPP) projects including the construction of schools, hostels, roads, police stations and hospitals.3. Government guarantees of RM199.1 billion, or 14.6% of GDP.The government is committed to paying the debt of entities which are unable to do so, including RM42.2 billion for Danainfra Nasional Bhd, RM26.6 billion for Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and RM38 billion for the insolvent 1MDB.That takes the total debt to RM1.087 trillion, or 80.3% of GDP.

LGE also remarked that while the decision to tell "the truth may unnerve Najib", the new government puts "the interest of the people first", adding that hence it is necessary to "bite the bullet now" rather than "let it explode in our faces at a later date"

The Finance Minister also said that while "Malaysians are rightly concerned with our debt situation", the Pakatan Harapan Government will take action to fix it."Let me emphasise that the obligations and financial commitments of the federal government are unchanged before 9 May and after elections today. The only change is that the new government has decided to call a spade a spade."In the short term, this decision to tell the truth may unnerve Najib. However, we firmly believe that in the medium term, by recognising our true debt situation today, it will enable the federal government to take concrete actions to regularise and strengthen our financial state," read the statement by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Terbaiklah Cara Farah Lee Ajar Anak Hafal Surah Al-Quran! Ibu-Ibu Lain Boleh Cuba Tips Ini

Ibu bapa mana yang tidak menginginkan anak-anak mereka menjadi hafiz dan hafizah

Apa yang diperlukan bagi membolehkan kanak-kanak menjadi hafiz dan hafizah adalah dengan mendidik mereka mendalami Al-Quran sejak kecil lagi.

Image via Google

Bahkan ianya tidak mustahil untuk anak-anak menghafalnya kerana mereka diibaratkan seperti kain putih dan mempunyai daya ingatan serta memori yang bagus untuk mengingati ayat-ayat Al-Quran.Bukan itu sahaja, sambil kita mengajar anak-anak menghafal, secara tidak langsung kita pun sebenarnya turut membaca Al-Quran juga sekali gus memberi manfaat buat kita untuk dijadikan bekalan di akhirat kelat dada mereka, Insyaa Allah ianya dapat memberi syafaat di akhirat kelak.

Personaliti media sosial dan pengasas rangkaian baju Omma Esabel, Farah Lee telah berkongsikan cara dia mengajar anaknya, Maream Esabel cara-cara menghafal beberapa doa dan surah Al-Quran semenjak permata hatinya itu berusia setahun lagi!

Image via Instagram Farah Lee

Maream Esabel yang kini berusia 4 tahun bukan sahaja pandai mengaji bahkan boleh mengalunkan surah Al-Fatihah serta surah 3 Qul dan beberapa lagi ayat-ayat Al-Quran yang lain.Anak kecil itu telah mula diperdengarkan bacaan ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran semenjak dari dalam kandungan lagi. Pada masa yang sama, semasa mengandungkan anaknya itu, Farah Lee turut mengamalkan pemakanan yang sihat kerana baginya, 'You are what you eat'.

Image via Instagram Farah Lee

Di samping itu, Farah Lee sentiasa memperdengarkan alunan ayat-ayat Al-Quran seperti memasangnya dalam rumah, di radio dan mengaji di antara waktu solat bagi membiasakan buah hatinya itu mengenali kalam Allah SWT ketika masih kecil ini.Perkongsian yang dibuat pada Julai tahun lepas ini mendapat perhatian ramai dan boleh dijadikan pedoman buat ibu bapa di luar sana yang inginkan anak-anak mereka menghafal ayat-ayat Al-Quran dari kecil.

Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Esok exam hafazan be like.Since last year lagi ramai tanya omma macam mana train Maream hafaz al-Fatihah, 3 Qul, doa walaupun baru setahun lebih. Terbaru Maream hafaz surah Taha 1-6. Hmm.. Sorry tau macam ignore soalan korang selama ni haha sebab nak share tapi takut orang cakap pepoyo pulak mengajar tu ni. Anak baru sorang, kecik lagi pulak tu. Long way to go, nanti besar anak entah jadi apa. And all the negative thoughts.Then fikir balik, alah kalau ikhlas nak share supaya bermanfaat pada yang nak memanfaatkan, why not kan? Yang penting pandangan Allah, yang lain persetankan, kan? Hiks. Jadi inilah dia. Omma share apa yang omma buat je. Ini bukan mengajar, ini bukan tips. Omma tak layak pun. Just apa yang omma amalkan pada Maream (she is now 2 years 11 months old). If rasa berguna boleh dipraktikkan, kalau tak, boleh dipersetankan muahaha.But please bear in mind, lain budak lain perkembangan, lain environment kehidupan, lain character. Boleh cuba but no pressure. Go slow and easy, for them and for yourself as well Omma memang bercita-cita nak dedahkan anak-anak dengan Quran dari kecil so before kahwin lagi selalu baca tips-tips parents. Ni kira omma buat experiment jugak lah, melalui pemerhatian, pembacaan, keinginan dan logik akal. Ok muqaddimah yang panjang macam biasa.

Image via Instagram Farah Lee

So basically:1. Masa pregnant omma selalu baca surah Maryam, Taha, Yusuf dan Ar-Rahman. Then masa tidur omma akan pasang audio ayat Quran. Dorang boleh dengar dunia luar kan even dalam perut so since dalam perut lagi omma dah biasakan dia dengan alunan Quran.2. Since Maream baby, sebelum tidur omma akan dodoikan Maream dengan ayat-ayat ni: al-Fatihah, ayat Qursi (terang hati), Taha 1-6 (lembut hati), al-Hasyr 21-24 (ruqyah), ar-Rahman 1-5 (disayangi menyayangi), an-Naba 1-10 (omma kekonon nak hafaz juzuk 30 tapi ini je yang lekat dalam kepala muahaha), al-Inshirah (kemudahan hidup), 3 Qul (ruqyah) + mana-mana ayat yang omma sedang hafaz. So mungkin sebab ulang-ulang dengar, dia pun dapat hafaz secara tak langsung. Alah, macam anak-anak selalu dengar lagu Didi & Friends, kejap je mulut dah 'Semut berkawad satu satu horaa horeyy' tak?  Sama lah macam ayat Quran jugak. Cuma mungkin susah sikit sebab bahasa tak biasa. Tapi dah besar ni kadang dia request taknak omma dodoikan mengaji, nak lagu Boboiboy, Bebaskan Kuasamu.

Image via Instagram Farah Lee

3. Then bila dia dah besar sikit, dalam kereta or time lepak-lepak omma selalu buat test. Baca, then minta dia sambung. Yang pelat-pelat boleh stress-kan ajar bacaan yang betul. Tapi takyah nak expect kita sedang buat oral test budak SPM. Dalam 10 kali, bernasib baik kalau 1 kali dia respon dengan jayanya. Kids being kids, but us adult should be an adult too. Keep cuba dengan cara yang berbeza dan menarik, disamping kesabaran maksima disisi.4. In between Maghrib dan Isya' kalau takde hal, omma akan peruntukkan masa tu untuk baca Quran dan spend quality time dengan Maream; sembang dengan dia. So time ni kalau mood dia dan omma ok, omma akan ajar dia mengaji. Ajar mana sangat lah budak 2 tahun pun haha tapi just untuk dia biasakan yang interval tu should diperuntukkan untuk hal kerohanian dan family quality time.5. Dan kat rumah audio ayat Quran omma akan on 24/7 non stop. Omma perasan, walaupun omma mengaji biasa, ada ayat yang Maream boleh guess dan sambungkan. Maybe sebab dia repeatly dengar from that audio. So rasanya, after this bila anak dah besar, nak ajar Quran pun mudah sebab ayat-ayat tu dia dah biasa dengar. Tinggal nak diajar properly je.

Image via Facebook Farah Lee

6. Oh ya, pemakanan pun mainkan peranan kot, "You are what you eat". Masa pregnant omma memang jaga makan. Fast food, caffein memang avoid. Banyak makan makanan sunnah dan fish oil (neurogain). Maream pun masa bawah setahun memang fully on breastmilk dan makan homemade food sahaja. Sekarang, gula-gula, jajan dan fastfood omma hadkan. Dia banyak makan proper food, vege and fruits. Dan gadget pun dikawal ketat.7. Just to let you know, Maream belum kenal pun arabic alphabet, apatah lagi tajwid. Proper schedule mengajar pun omma takde. I will keep it this way since dia pun kecil lagi. Taknak pressure dia sangat. Biar dia sayang Quran dengan kemahuan sendiri (with my effort of course).

Image via Instagram Farah Lee

So ini jelah kot. Maream ni pun mungkin dia jenis cepat pickup. Mungkin apa yang omma buat tu tak bantu dia hafaz pun cuma omma je perasan lelebih. Again, omma just share apa yang omma amalkan yang mungkin effective, untuk korang yang bertanya. Untuk anak korang maybe boleh adjust sesuai dengan umur, preference, environment dan lifestyle kalian. Banyak lagi sharing mak ayah yang anak hafiz hafizah berjaya korang boleh google dan baca. Selamat mencuba dan selamat kawal diri supaya tak jadi monster mihmihmih.Semua yang baik dari Allah, ini semua jika bermanfaat juga ilham dari Allah. Alhamdulillah ala kulli hal. #ommabebel[TB2years7months] #mareamesabel

Semoga perkongsian ini memberi manfaat buat semua! :)

Kenji Chai & Hotlink's Latest Mural Celebrating Sabah Culture Gets Minted Into NFT

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Hotlink.

If you stay in Kota Kinabalu, you might have noticed that Wisma Sabah just got a facelift with a vibrant new mural! :O

Image via Hotlink

Located right opposite Suria Sabah Shopping Mall, along Jalan Haji Saman, this intricately painted wall art on Wisma Sabah has become one of the centrepieces in Kota Kinabalu town.

What's even cooler is that the mural was painted by one of Sabah's own street artists, Kenji Chai, in collaboration with Hotlink

Image via Kenji Chai (Facebook)

You may not have heard of Kenji before, but you've most probably seen his works of art.Kenji Chai pursued the life of a graffiti artist back in 2008. Though his decision was unconventional, his fiery passion for the arts has since led him to international stardom. To date, his murals have been spotted in various cities around the globe, including New York, Miami, Beijing, Singapore, Tokyo, India, and closer to home, in various Malaysian states – recently adding yet another piece to his home-state of Sabah.He is most well known for his Chaigo artwork, an iconic turquoise blue dog. Chaigo is a wordplay of Kenji's surname, Chai, and the Chinese word for dog, "gou".

As part of Hotlink's campaign to highlight the #BikinSampaiJadi spirit, Kenji shares the inspiration behind his hard work, as he shows off his state pride

The newly painted mural doesn't just look good, the concept behind it is equally impressive.Through the idea of 'Only the Strong Survive', Kenji's artwork shines a light on the many kinds of native Sabah wildlife — featuring the fastest animals on land, under the sea, and in the air — the leopard, the black marlin, and the falcon. His artwork gives both locals and travellers a glimpse into the vast beauty, strength, and diversity of wildlife that can be found in the state.

Image via Hotlink

"I chose those animals because they are the fastest animals in their own right. The sunda leopard on land, the falcon in the sky, and the black marlin in the sea. Also Hotlink as a brand has a fast and strong network. So it's a perfect combination," shared Kenji.

He also credits his passion for the arts to memories of growing up in Sandakan

As a kid in primary school, Kenji absolutely fell in love with drawing and doodling, and would often scribble characters from Ninja Turtles and Street Fighter on his textbook. Growing up, cartoons also had a special place in his heart."Maybe I just felt really happy as a kid, sitting in front of the TV, waiting for cartoons. I wanted to capture that mood and share it with people and remind them that that moment is also the most beautiful moment in our lives," shared Kenji.

According to Kenji, #BikinSampaiJadi perfectly sums up his journey from an unrecognised street artist to becoming a world renowned artist

Despite having a rough childhood, Kenji was sure of what he wanted to do for a living. Though graffiti art wasn't the easiest career choice when he first started, he continued to persevere to make his dreams a reality."#BikinSampaiJadi for me is like [how] I used to paint my Chaigo on the streets [of Kota Kinabalu]... after three years, I get invited back to the city to paint in a much bigger way than I ever thought possible," said Kenji.

Kenji also teamed up with Hotlink to pay homage to his home-state by giving the mural a permanent spot on the blockchain via a 'Made in Sabah' non-fungible tokens (NFT) collection

Single Hindu Mum Loh Can Now Legally Challenge Her 3 Kids' Unilateral Islamic Conversion

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

Yesterday, 1 August, Loh Siew Hong, a Hindu woman, was granted leave to commence with her legal action to quash her three children's unilateral conversion to Islam by her Muslim convert former husband

The Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that Loh was within the time period to file the judicial review.The 34-year-old mother filed the legal action on 23 March this year when she was finally allowed to reunite with her two 14-year-old twin girls and her 10-year-old son after three years of fighting for their custody.She received confirmation of the unilateral conversion of her children on 4 March.Her former husband, Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy, had run off with their three children and placed them under the care of Islamic non-governmental organisation Hidayah Centre Foundation operator Nazirah Nanthakumari Abdullah, who had reportedly refused Loh from seeing her children.Nagahswaran is currently serving jail time on drug-related charges.

According to judge Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh, Loh's application for leave is not frivolous and that the single mother has an arguable case

Wan Ahmad, during proceedings conducted via zoom, noted that the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has no objection to the leave being given for the judicial review to proceed, reported Malaysiakini.In her judicial review leave application that was filed on 25 March, Loh named four respondents, namely, the Perlis Registrar of Muallafs (new converts to Islam), the Religious and Malay Customs Council of Perlis (MAIPS), Perak mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, and the Perak state government.One of the respondents — MAIPS, represented by lawyer Mohamed Hanif Khatri Abdulla — had asked the High Court to reject Loh's application, saying that the conversion was done in 2020.An application for leave for judicial review must be filed within 90 days after a public authority communicates its decision to an aggrieved party. Since Low was only informed on 4 March, she was still within the three-month period to file the application, which the single mother did on 23 March."In any event, as the applicant (Loh) only found out on 4 March 2022, she is still within time (to file the legal action) as it depends on when the decision was communicated to the applicant. The applicant has crossed the threshold to argue her case. Leave is granted with no order to cost," he was reported as saying.A date to hear the merits of Loh's legal challenge has not yet been set.

Image via says.com

Loh wants an order of certiorari to reverse the registration of conversion dated 7 July 2020 issued by the registrar and wants any official registration of her children's conversion to be struck from the records

The Penang-born Hindu Chinese woman is seeking several declarations with regard to ensuring religious freedom for all three of her minor children, something Perlis mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin is against.Along with seeking a declaration that her former husband Nagahswaran was legally unfit to convert them to Islam, Loh is also seeking a declaration that a Perlis state enactment that allows a single parent to convert a minor child to Islam without the permission of the other parent is unconstitutional.She also wants a declaration that her three children are of the Hindu faith and not Muslim.After Loh was given full custody of her children in February this year, Malaysia's Islamist political party PAS' Ulama Wing urged the religious authorities in each state to immediately amend the conditions of religious conversion so that children can be converted unilaterally.PAS wants the terms for conversion amended so that religious conversions of underage children can be carried out with the consent of either the mother or father and not require the consent of both.Selangor, Sabah, and Sarawak are the only states that prohibit the unilateral conversion of minors.The party's promotion of unilateral conversion is in direct defiance of the Federal Court decision in 2018 that declared that the consent of both parents is needed before a certificate of conversion can be issued.

HUAWEI Launches The All-New Mate 30 Series & We Seriously Want One For Ourselves

Following on from the success of the Mate 20 series, HUAWEI has officially launched the next iteration of the Mate lineup with the HUAWEI Mate 30 and the Mate 30 Pro

Image via HUAWEI

The HUAWEI Mate 30 series is more than just a new iteration of an already great phone design. It's a step into a newer, bolder direction. Here's what we mean:

1. Both the HUAWEI Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro sport beautifully-constructed camera setups that take AMAZING photos

Night time in Shanghai. Taken by the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro.
Image via HUAWEI

Coming with a SuperSensing triple camera setup, the HUAWEI Mate 30 offers users the choice between a 40MP SuperSensing camera, a 16MP Ultra-Wide Angle camera, as well as an 8MP Telephoto lens. The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro, on the other hand, packs a game-changing quad camera setup similar to the Mate 30's, but with extra oomph. These added features include a 40MP Cine Camera and a 3D Depth Sensing camera.

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro

Here's the general lineup of cameras in both the HUAWEI Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro:HUAWEI Mate 301. 40MP SuperSensing Camera2. 16MP Ultra Wide-angle Camera3. 8MP Telephoto CameraHUAWEI Mate 30 Pro1. 40MP Cine Camera2. 40MP SuperSensing Camera3. 8MP Telephoto Camera4. 3D Depth Sensing Camera (for that buttery-smooth bokeh)

2. The Horizon Display on the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro allows for seamless content viewing and productivity

HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro

The HUAWEI Horizon Display curves at an 88-degree angle, making for an immersive, edge-to-edge viewing experience from the maximised display area. Another cool trick with the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro is the fact that there aren't any physical volume up/down buttons. Instead, you have the Side-touch Interaction Feature, which you can just double tap on either side of the Horizon Display, and then slide your finger up or down to adjust accordingly. People with small hands, rejoice! ;D

3. The new Kirin 990 Processor provides 5G-ready and laju gilerrr performance without compromising battery life

Image via HUAWEI

The first second-generation 5G phone in the world also houses a dual-chip processor. Okay, so what does that even mean? Imagine having processing units and a 5G modem as separate objects, as they usually are. In the HUAWEI Mate 30 series, you have all of this power in just one chip. That also saves more space for a bigger battery. At the end of the day, you'll have a super-fast performing smartphone and insane battery life at 4,200 mAh on the Mate 30 and 4,500 mAh on the Mate 30 Pro.

4. Aesthetics are key to the HUAWEI Mate 30 series' appeal

Image via Danial Martinus | SAYS

Dubbed the 'Halo Ring Design', the primary camera setup is circular in appearance and makes it truly stand out amongst other smartphones. But it also has a deeper meaning. The 'Halo Ring Design' symbolises HUAWEI's efforts in coming 'full circle'. It's a testament to the innovation and technological advancement the company has made over the years. Sweet. :)

The HUAWEI Mate 30 series has a lot more to offer than you think. Seriously, take a look at some of these specs:

Image via Danial Martinus | SAYS

The EMUI 10 operating system features a magazine-inspired layout and an Always-On-Display (AOD), which changes the colour of the lock screen throughout the day. Dark Mode allows users to view their content with ease in dimly-lit environments. Or if you're like admin, you'll have it on all the time. Come to the dark side. ;)Customise invisible virtual keys with the Side-touch Interaction Feature for an awesome experience when gaming and taking photos. Great for left and right handers alike!Contactless screen interaction with AI gesture control lets you control some of the things you do without even having to touch the phone.HiCar provides seamless connectivity between the HUAWEI Mate 30 series and a car's infotainment system.Multi-screen Collaboration allows users to control multiple screens and transfer data between HUAWEI devices.The HUAWEI 3D Face Unlock and In-Screen Fingerprint Sensor provide users with the security and assurance they need when using their device (HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro only).Yeah, we know - it's A LOT.

HUAWEI Wearables are a sight for sore eyes

HUAWEI also launched the much-anticipated Watch GT2, which packs the Kirin A1 chip, along with the promise of one-week battery life on the smaller 42mm variant and two-week battery life on the 46mm version. The HUAWEI Watch GT2 also offers 15 sport modes,10 training modes, as well as bluetooth calling, heart rate monitoring and a slew of other cool features.

The HUAWEI Mate 30 series comes in six attractive colours and two finishes

Image via HUAWEI

Both the 6.62-inch HUAWEI Mate 30 and the 6.53-inch HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro come in a beautiful selection of colours ranging from Emerald Green, Space Silver, Cosmic Purple, and Black, whereas Forest Green and Orange come in Vegan Leather backs.At launch, the HUAWEI Mate 30 (8GB + 128GB) is priced at 799 Euros, while the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (8GB + 256GB) costs 1,099 Euros. Stay tuned for the full review!

According to Bernama, the Kedah/Perlis branch of the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) is offering 30% to 70% discounts on hotel rooms in light of the coronavirus outbreak.45 hotels on the duty-free island have agreed to slash their prices down to lure back tourists.

New Straits Times reported that hotels in Langkawi are severely affected by the coronavirus outbreak as many tourists, especially those from China, have cancelled their trips to the island."The discount is offered by three-star hotels and above. People can check their websites or social media to know more about it," said MAH's Perlis/Kedah branch vice president Razmi Rahmat yesterday, 16 February."For example, a three-star hotel will have an attractive deal starting [at] RM150 and not more than RM250 per night."

A quick search by SAYS found that a few four-star hotels are indeed priced below RM250 a night

Proud Family 'Spams' Billboards Of 16-Year-Old's Birthday Party Along Highway

A wealthy family has put up scores of billboards advertising their flamboyant boy's birthday party along a 400-meter road in the city of Quanzhou, in Southeast China's Fujian province, with the billboards reading: Welcome to my 16th birthday party

As per a FB post by CCTVNews, local residents said it is the work of the Shi family to celebrate their great-grandson's birthday

The flamboyant celebration has drawn wide attention online

“Such an extravagant birthday! It’s doing no good to the kid’s education!” - @yujianyigemeili“I’m a local. It is our tradition to make the 16th birthday a huge event, especially for boys. Please take an objective and rational look at it.” - @mikeybuzz"LOL!!! This is absolutely retarded! Please stop embarrass us Chinese as an entire race. I want to get rich, not stupid." - Chanel EdiSon Chang"Waste of money and shows arrogance. Better by teaching the 16 years old boy to be humble and use the money to feed the poor.

Amber Chia, Nora Danish & Malaysian Women Are Saying #Yes2NoMakeUp. Will You Do It Too?

Posting a selfie on social media truly is a big deal these days. Some girls go to great lengths in perfecting their makeup and have even taken to editing their self-taken photos so as to capture the "perfect selfie".

Image via smh.com.au

In a new survey, despite over two thirds (66 per cent) of female respondents thinking it's wrong for magazines to edit pictures, over half (57 per cent) admitted to regularly editing their own social media pictures to enhance their appearance, like slimming down their thighs, flattening their tummies and perfecting their skin.

        smh.com.au

Hence, in conjunction with International Women's Day, LINE has launched the #Yes2nomakeup initiative to encourage women to embrace their natural beauty... by uploading selfies without make-up on social media!

Image via Instagram: shimaanuar

Having kicked off on 8 February, the initiative will go on until International Women's Day on 8 March 2015. For every no make-up selfie uploaded on social media, LINE will be donating RM0.50 to the All Women’s Action Society Malaysia (AWAM).

Image via Instagram: aidasherrina

In tandem with raising awareness on gender equality, the campaign also aims to advocate the idea that women are beautiful just the way they are - no embellishments or digital enhancements required

Image via Instagram: pearleenbubu

Some Malaysian celebrities - Nora Danish, Amber Chia and Soo Wincci included - have also joined in the fun by posting au naturale selfies on their own social media platforms

AirAsia Will No Longer Collect 'klia2 Fee' Starting From 7 Jan To Keep Ticket Prices Low

Low-cost carrier AirAsia has announced that it will stop collecting the RM3 klia2 fee for all flights departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) starting from today, 7 January

Image via klia2

AirAsia Malaysia CEO Riad Asmat confirmed the abolishment of the klia2 fee, saying, "We have said from the very beginning that klia2 is not fit for low-cost carrier operations, and we will be going directly to Malaysia Airports for all the extra costs they’re costing us."

According to the statement, the fee was introduced in May 2014 by Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) to cover additional costs due to the use of mandatory facilities in the airport

The facilities include aerobridges as well as the SITA check-in and boarding systems.The additional charge was not imposed at AirAsia's previous hub, the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT).

The fee's abolishment was first disclosed on 31 December 2018 by AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes, who called the standardised fee "ridiculous"

According to The Star, AirAsia and MAHB have been at loggerheads over klia2's RM73 passenger service charge (PSC) in the past year after the airline refused to collect the full amount imposed by the airport operator to standardise tax at both KLIA and klia2. In objecting to the standardised fee, AirAsia has been collecting RM50 per pax instead, which was the rate prior to the price hike. The airline also insisted that the additional fee was unfair, as KLIA was "better-equipped" compared to klia2. In his Facebook live stream, Fernandes added that AirAsia will go directly to MAHB to seek compensation for damages sustained by its aircraft due to the facilities at klia2.

MAHB later responded to Fernandes' claims, saying that it did not impose the RM3 klia2 fee. Instead, the fee is charged and collected by AirAsia Group Bhd as part of its ticket price.

"The klia2 fee had been imposed and collected solely by AirAsia since the klia2 terminal started operations in 2014," MAHB said in a statement. "The only charges to passengers collected by Malaysia Airports are the passenger service charges (PSC) of RM11 for Domestic departure, RM35 for International departure to ASEAN countries, and RM73 for International departure to Non-ASEAN countries."

2 Suspects Admit To Torturing Deceased Navy Cadet Zulfarhan Osman With Hot Iron

The High Court has heard the first two accused admit to putting a hot iron on Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) naval cadet officer Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain

Muhammad Akmal Zuhairi and Muhammad Azamuddin Mad Sofi are the first and second accused in the murder case of bully victim Zulfarhan Osman, reported New Straits Times.80% of Zulfarhan Osman's body was found with burn marks when he passed away on 1 June 2017. The victim was alleged to have stolen a laptop and his university mates decided to take justice into their own hands by torturing him.

During the proceedings on Monday, 4 November, Akmal admitted to hearing the victim screaming in pain every time he put the hot iron on him

Akmal made the confession when he was re-examined by deputy public prosecutor Julia Ibrahim during the trial before Judge Datuk Azman Abdullah.The first accused admitted to putting the hot iron on the victim's sole and knee, but denied that he had put it on other parts of the victim's body.

He had also admitted to using lotion to treat the burn wounds on the victim from 23 May to 26 May 2017, and subsequently brought the victim to a clinic

Akmal said he brought the victim to the As-Salam Clinic in Bandar Baru Bangi on 27 May 2017, but not the clinic on the campus as it was closed during the semester break."While at the clinic, I, Afif, and Abdoul Hakeem Mohd Ali (both are also accused in the case) also went into the treatment room. There was no letter from the doctor to refer Zulfarhan to a hospital," Bernama quoted him as saying. When questioned by his defence lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, he said that the reason why he brought the victim to the clinic was to understand the condition of the injuries on Zulfarhan's body.

Muahmmad Akmal also denied that he had caused 18 of the 90 scars found on the victim’s body and that they took turns to place the hot iron on the victim

Image via Bernama

"When the hot iron was placed on Zulfarhan, did you try to stop it?" asked the deputy prosecutor. "No," answered Akmal.As a cadet officer and a student of UPNM, he confessed that he knew his actions were wrong and against the law.He also explained the reason he denied that the other accused took turns placing the hot iron on the victim was because he went to the toilet and out to smoke after using the iron on the victim.

He told the court that the victim confessed to stealing the laptop, but he did not report the case to the university's top management

Julia: I put it to you that you did not report the matter because you know what you did to Zulfarhan was wrong and action could be taken against you.Akmal: I disagree. Normally at UPNM, nothing happens.Julia: So, the culture there is that when you hurt others, nothing happens, steal a laptop, one gets expelled. Is that what you meant?Akmal: Yes.

The second accused, Azamuddin, said yesterday, 5 November, that he did not know putting the hot iron on the victim would hurt

Image via New Straits Times

Azamuddin admitted to putting the hot iron on the victim's thigh and shoulder on 22 May 2017, reported New Straits Times.He said the victim's death was unexpected and he did not have the intention of hurting the victim.

Azamuddin also told the court that he and the victim were "best friends"

Amer Hamzah: Please describe your relationship with Zulfarhan.Azamuddin: We were best friends... Even though he has passed away, we always wished him in our prayers... 'no man left behind' is our creed and that is why we were very close.Amer Hamzah: If both of you were best friends, why did you do that (press the steam iron) on him?Azamuddin: When I did that, I did not (realise) that it would harm him... I did that because I wanted to teach him a lesson.

During the proceedings, Azamuddin was seen trying to hold back his tears as he apologised to the victim's family

The second accused said he was with the victim in the hostel room on the day he died. “He vomited and suffered from diarrhoea that night… when I was cleaning up his vomit," Azamuddin said."I said never mind as we are best friends before he said that he missed his parents."I told him to use my handphone to call his parents but he refused to do so, as he did (not) want his parents to be worried about him."He wanted to apologise to his parents and I told him he needed to be strong and I will be with him no matter what," he added.

The victim's 56-year-old mother was seen wiping her tears when she learned that her son's last words were that he missed his parents.Azamuddin, too, was seen holding in his tears while apologising to the family members who were present in the court.

A total of 18 individuals have been charged with various offences related to the death of Zulfarhan

Five individuals have been charged with murdering Zulfarhan:- Muhammad Akmal, - Muhammad Azamuddin Mad Sofi, - Muhammad Najib Mohd Razi, - Muhammad Afif Najmudin Azahat, and- Mohamad Shobirin Sabr.Meanwhile, Abdoul Hakeem Mohd Ali has been charged with conspiring to commit murder.If convicted, all six would face the mandatory death sentence, reported New Straits Times.12 others have been charged with voluntarily causing grievous hurt.

The accused were ordered to enter defence in August:

"Do Not Get Into The Car" - Grab Passenger Warns The Public Of Dodgy Drivers

Passengers who frequently use ride-hailing services should be cautious of who their drivers are, as it appears that there may be fraudsters out there who are up to no good

Photo for illustration purposes only.
Image via GoodyFeed

A man took to Facebook to warn others to be aware of questionable drivers attached with tech companies that offer ride-hailing and logistics services such as Grab.  He felt that there was a need to inform the public of a possible scam going on involving dubious drivers after his own experience recently. "If you booked a ride via Grab, and a different person calls you or turns up saying the driver sent him or her, do not get into the car," Jern Siong wrote on Facebook.

It all started when Jern Siong ordered a ride with Grab. The driver called him up.

Image via Facebook

Jern Siong was told by his driver to wait for about 10 minutes as he said that it will take him that long to arrive at the pick-up point. While it is not unusual for a driver to call up passengers, Jern Siong became suspicious when he noticed that the Grab application's tracking features showed that the driver's location and estimated time of arrival (ETA) remained the same for some time.

"I got suspicious when his vehicle never moved at all on the map, so I sent him a message."

It was then that Jern Siong received a phone call from a lady who said that she was waiting outside."When I queried her she just said, 'Oh yes that guy sent me to pick you up.' When pressed further, she said she would call the first guy again to confirm." "At that point, I hung up, made a report to Grab, and cancelled the ride."

Grab responded to Jern Siong's report. "Do not get into the car."

Grab told him not to proceed with this driver and requested for his assistance in providing the number of the alleged driver who was sent to pick him up for further investigation. "We need to investigate this. In the meantime, please put in another booking," Grab said in a reply to Jern Siong's Facebook message.  Jern Siong had attempted to book another driver from Grab but to no avail. In the end, he resorted to using another car-hailing service.

In a subsequent message reply, Grab approached Jern Siong to ensure that he was in a safe situation and have cancelled the previous booking

Image via Facebook

Jern Siong urged the public to be mindful of who their drivers are and only ride with the driver that is designated to them

He also said that passengers should ignore other people who claim that they are being sent by a driver as this may be part of a scam tactic. "Instead, take a screenshot of the driver's details, take down the phone number and any details of the "alternate" driver, and report the incident to Grab. Then, cancel the ride and book another.""Your personal safety is at stake. Never get into a complete stranger's car unless the person is an actual driver with Grab," Jern Siong said.

Meanwhile, Grab said that the Grab driver in question is being investigated

Image via Facebook

Grab, on several occasions, has demonstrated its commitment to provide a better option for public transportation and will not hesitate to investigate and deregister errant drivers.

7-Year-Old In Johor Bahru With Suspected Influenza Dies From Organ Failure

Seven-year-old Nur Dinie Damia Muhammad Noor has died due to complications stemming from an influenza-like illness

The child's father, Muhammad Noor Amin, told Harian Metro that his daughter was pronounced dead last night, 13 January, at 10.41pm.

She was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA), Johor Bahru four days ago, after her health greatly deteriorated while receiving care at a private hospital.

Image via Cempedak Cheese

Earlier yesterday, her father said that she had contracted a liver infection and was announced brain dead.
Prior to that, Dinie suffered a terrible fever that lasted several days.

Amin explained, "On the third day, her fever still didn't go away. Therefore, I took her to a clinic and the doctor suspected that she was infected with Influenza A before referring her to a private hospital."

"Her condition worsened while at the private hospital. She began throwing up blood and they then referred her to HSA to be monitored by specialists."

Image via Cempedak Cheese

State Education, Health, and Human Resources Committee chairman Aminolhuda Hassan clarified that the child suffered several other complications leading to her death and it was not just caused by influenza

"As a matter of fact, 89 students from preschool up to Form Four who are suspected to be infected with influenza are being treated as outpatients and have been requested to rest in their own homes," he added.

Meanwhile, New Straits Times reported that Johor Chief Minister Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal said that the victim has been found negative of influenza after a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test was conducted.

Last week, health officials declared an influenza outbreak in Penang and Selangor:

                Authorities Declare Influenza Outbreak In Selangor With 22 People Infected

53 students have also been infected by the virus in Penang.

The Star's Editor-In-Chief And Executive Editor Have Been Suspended Over Their Front Page

Following the controversy that erupted due to The Star's front page coverage on the first day of Ramadan, two senior editors of the English daily have been suspended

The Star's front page on 27 May had a layout that juxtaposed a photograph of Muslims praying in Putrajaya with an unrelated story of a former Universiti Malaya lecturer who is said to be in line to become the next leader of the Islamic State in the southern Philippines region. The unrelated story was titled 'Malaysian Terrorist Leader.'The way the front page looked due to the juxtaposition, it led many to believe that The Star was deliberately portraying the followers of Islam as terrorists.

While The Star issued an apology on 28 May for the "oversight", the Home Ministry issued a show-cause letter, giving The Star seven days to explain why action should not be taken against it under the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984.Following the Ministry's show-cause letter, IGP Khalid announced that the police are investigating The Star for Sedition and for Section 298A of the Penal Code, which refers to causing disharmony, disunity and hatred by words either written or spoken.

The two senior editors suspended are editor-in-chief Datuk Leanne Goh Lee Yen and executive editor Dorairaj Nadason

Both of them will cease to function in their respective roles until further notice, The Star reported, adding that an investigation into the matter will be conducted soon.It should be noted, though, that Datuk Leanne Goh Lee Yen is currently overseas. According to reports, the suspended editor-in-chief is away in the United States.Dorairaj, on the other hand, was one of four editors who had been summoned by The Home Ministry on Monday to give their statements. The other three were specialist editor M Shanmugam and executive editors Brian Martin and Rozaid Abdul Rahman.

In the duration for which Leanne Goh and Dorairaj are suspended, editorial operations will be overseen by Star Media Group Managing Director and CEO Wong Chun Wai

Meanwhile, following the suspension news, The Star Online said that the editors involved and the Star Media Group "will cooperate fully with the relevant authorities in investigating the issue, especially the Home Ministry and the police."

Prior to the suspension of its editors, Malay rights group, Perkasa had demanded that The Star should be suspended

The group's women's wing chief, Foziah Nawari, had argued that saying sorry was no longer enough as this was not the first time that The Star had offended Muslims.She reportedly wanted The Star to be suspended for a year."At least if not a year, then through the holy month of Ramadan," Foziah said.
