This isn't the first time Huawei has come up with a unique offering in the smartphone camera department

Last year, the phone giant launched its P20 series, the first phone in the world with three camera lenses on its rear! This triple camera set-up redefined the way we capture memories. Shortly after the launch of the P20 series came the Mate 20, which also has a triple camera setup identical to the Huawei P20 Pro. Together, the P20 and Mate 20 became the top scoring phones on DxOMark, with 109 points each.

The Huawei P30 series is slated to launch in Malaysia on 26 March 2019

Plus, you'll also be able to get your hands on a free Huawei Backup, a 1TB hard drive that's both stylish and waterproof. Beautiful memories deserve to be kept in beautiful places.

What Makes These Porters So Strong That They Can Carry Loads More Than Their Bodyweight?

A Nepalese portal can carry a load equivalent to 100% (and sometimes even more) of his body weight. In fact, those short and skinny men are the most energy-efficient load-carriers in the world.

And they do so often wearing flip flops or worn out shoes.They trek across Himalayan glaciers more than 5,000 metres above sea level with a far greater efficiency than soldiers carrying backpacks with equivalent loads.

Image via AP via BBC

Who are they? They are called Sherpas

An ethnic group from Nepal numbering around 150,000.They have lived in the high altitudes of the Himalayas for generations, long serving as guides and porters, doing everything from carrying the loads to setting up the camps.Renowned for their climbing skills and superior strength and endurance at high altitudes, Sherpas secure climbing routes, fix lines, ferry supplies and guide their western clients to the top of Mount Everest and other Himalayan peaks.In other words, Sherpas with their local expertise and what they do with it has made this ethnic Nepalese group extremely invaluable to mountaineering.

How do the Nepalese porters do it?

The Sherpas are like a fuel-efficient car. They get more energy for less oxygenAfter centuries of living at high altitude, they have evolved to master the ability to survive in the Himalayan atmosphere.In order to find out how the porters manage such feats of strength and endurance at high altitude, a scientist from the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium), who investigates techniques used by people to carry heavy burdens for lengthy periods, took his colleagues and went to the town of Namche, near Mount Everest."We went to these guys because they have the reputation for being the best porters."

Researcher Norman Heglund and his colleagues conducted a study, which was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology

It showed that Nepalese porters do not resort to any energy-conserving mechanisms to reduce the burden of carrying heavy loads.During their field research, Heglund and his colleagues flagged down porters and weighed loads of study volunteers on the approach to Namche one day. More than 500 men and about 100 women carried about 30 tonnes of material to the market that day.On average, the men bore 93 percent and women 66 percent of their body weight."It's quite impressive to see those guys walking with such heavy loads," said Heglund's teammate Bénédicte Schepens, adding that the feat is particularly impressive because "they're not very well equipped and have very bad shoes."

The team of researchers found that the Sherpas/Nepalese porters, in order to put up with their load, preferred to stop in order to rest regularly. Sometimes they even paused more than they walked.

The Nepalese porter uses a simple yet effective gear.The loads they carry goes into an oversized basket, called doko, which rests against their back, with a strap that runs underneath the doko and the crown of the head. Due to this technique, a porter's head bears the most of the weight.Each porter also carries a T-shaped walking stick called a tokma.On a steep incline, they will walk for as little as 15 seconds and rest for 45. At each stop, they use their tokma to support their load, which allows a standing rest.

Image via Daniel Oberhaus

To sum up, Nepalese porters are able to perform such feats of strength and endurance at high altitude because they have adapted over a lifetime of carrying loads, often beginning in childhood.

Secondly, the porters are small in stature. This means they can carry proportionately higher loads, according to researcher Heglund.Thirdly, they take their time, starting before dawn and finishing after dusk, walking slowly – less than 2kmph – and taking frequent breaks.The strategy of short intense exercise periods followed by frequent rest periods allows them to work at a high-intensity level, spread out over many hours each day.

M'sian City Life #26: My Father-In-Law Was Arrested Because He Played Music In Public

Abdul Rahman Zainol, fondly known as Cikgu Man, is a seasoned and talented saxophonist in Sungai Petani, Kedah

Image via Mienanie Ghazali

"Music is his soul. Cikgu Man has a Diploma in Jazz from a music school in Penang. He is multitalented: he sings, composes songs, and plays various instruments like the piano, keyboard, saxophone, trumpet, drums and guitar," said Mohamad Nazmi Zaidi Moni, Cikgu Man's son-in-law.  Ever since he retired, Cikgu Man has been busking in Sungai Petani to entertain the public. He would teach in the morning, and play music at night.  "He's like a free bird."  Mohamad Nazmi said that the 57-year-old retiree often made tributes to local artists with his music, especially to the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee.

Cikgu Man's talent brought him to many places and he also had the chance to give back to the community through his teaching

Image via Syafini Zulkifli

Cikgu Man used to serve at SMK Ibrahim as a band instructor. He composed the school’s song and had even performed in front of the Sultan of Kedah, and in various official and unofficial events. He was also on Astro Prima’s reality show, 'Kilauan Emas Otai'. The talented musician has various teaching experiences at UiTM and many other private music schools.

Though the elderly man lived a simple life, he recently got into trouble with the local authorities because of his music

"Recently, he was detained by a government agency in Sungai Petani. The reason? He was apparently a beggar," Mohamad Nazmi said.  Cikgu Man explained that he was not a beggar nor was he a homeless man, but just a man who was playing music in the public. "'Do you get a lot of money?', the people around him asked while they laughed at him."

In that moment, all eyes were on him and he had to face such humiliation in public for merely trying to entertain the local community with his passion

Image via Amir Zahin Azham

"They took his photos and published them in the newspapers. His saxophone was confiscated and it was not returned until he signed an agreement that states that he will not play music in the public area again," Mohamad Nazmi said of the incident.  Whether or not he was willing to agree with the conditions, Cikgu Man was forced to sign the agreement in the end.  If Cikgu Man fails to adhere to the agreement, the authorities would send him away to the old folks home at Bedong, Kedah.

The incident left such a huge impact on Cikgu Man that he was scared and lost his confidence to play music again even after he was released, as he was afraid that the same incident would happen again

The elderly man was extremely embarrassed. He was brought in for questioning and they labelled him as a beggar.  "Cikgu Man of Sungai Petani who has played music for many artists and in front of the Agong was arrested because he was accused of asking for public sympathy," Mohamad Nazmi said regrettably.

Mohamad Nazmi was deeply troubled over what had happened to his father-in-law, knowing that it was more than just a misunderstanding, but there appears to be a serious loophole in the system

Image via Mc Zaheer

He told the authorities, "How could this person be a beggar? Just take a look at his clothes and his saxophone. The saxophone that he uses is not a mere two thousand ringgit instrument. With the money that he used to buy a saxophone, he could have easily bought a new motorcycle." "All of his three children went to university, so did their spouses. He did not disturb anyone. He was only there to play music." However, the local authorities were not convinced, refusing to offer an apology or retract the agreement that was signed by Cikgu Man.

Cikgu Man's family members do not want any trouble but they hope that the incident will open up a conversation about the busking scene in Sungai Petani and all of Kedah

The Destitute Persons Act is intended to deal with the issue of homelessness in the country, however, it is unfortunate that some buskers like Cikgu Man have been falsely accused as a "homeless" or "beggar". "I hope that buskers in Sungai Petani and all around Malaysia would know about your rights and defend your dignity, even if you’re just a street musician. Don’t let others ridicule or manipulate you just because 'you only know how to play music'," Mohamad Nazmi said.

Seorang pemuda berusia 18 tahun didakwa diserang oleh sekumpulan bekas teman sekolah sekitar tengah malam pada hari Sabtu, 10 Jun

Mangsa yang dikenali sebagai T. Nhaveen dipukul sangat teruk sehingga koma.
Doktor yang merawatnya di Unit Rawatan Rapi Hospital Pulau Pinang telah mengisytiharkan mangsa mati otak.

Mati otak ialah satu keadaan di mana seseorang yang koma dan memerlukan alat bantuan pernafasan tetapi sebenarnya telah mati.Nhaveen, yang bercita-cita menjadi seorang komposer akan mendaftar di sebuah kolej swasta untuk kursus komposisi muzik di Kuala Lumpur.

Mangsa juga didakwa telah disodomi oleh penyerangnya

Menurut laporan, Nhaveen telah diejek oleh dua orang bekas teman sekolahnya, yang berjumpa dengannya di luar Masjid Taman Tun Sardon.Kedua-duanya itu dilapor pernah membuli Nhaveen di sekolah dahulu kerana "cemburu".Ketika Nhaveen meminta kedua-duanya untuk berhenti mengejek, mereka menghubungi rakan mereka, dan enam orang terus tiba di tempat kejadian dengan motosikal.Kemudian, kelapan-lapan mereka mula memukul Nhaveen bersama seorang lagi rakannya, Previin berkali-kali dengan topi keledar.Salah seorang pemuda kemudian memaksa Nhaveen pergi ke sebuah padang berdekatan Jalan Kaki Bukit. Tidak pasti apa yang sebenarnya berlaku, Nhaveen yang tidak sedarkan diri kemudian dibawa ke Hospital Pulau Pinang pada pukul 2 pagi oleh abang salah seorang penyerang.

Nhaveen diisytihar mati otak.

Kecederaan Nhaveen menunjukkan bahawa terdapat objek tumpul dimasukkan ke dalam duburnya.
Selain itu, tanda terbakar turut dikesan di belakangnya.

Ibu Nhaveen berusia 43 tahun hanya diberitahu mengenai kecederaan pada dubur dan alat kelamin anaknya sekitar 36 jam selepas dia mula dibawa ke Hospital Pulau Pinang, lapor The Malaysian Insight."Alat kelaminnya terpintal. Berita mengenai kecederaan Nhaveen telah menghancurkan hidup ibunya. Dia begitu trauma dengan apa yang telah berlaku. Setelah diisytihar mati otak, ibunya masih boleh menerima kenyataan. Tetapi berita ini, dia tak boleh terima. Kalau dia pulih sekali pun, apa masa depan yang dia ada?" kata bapa saudara Nhaveen.

Ibu Nhaveen, D. Shanti (tengah) ditenangkan oleh ahli kepuarga di Hospital Pulau Pinang.

Ahli keluarga mendakwa pihak Hospital Pulau Pinang gagal memeriksa kecederaan Nhaveen dengan teliti ketika dia dibawa masuk

"Setelah 36 jam dia dihantar ke hospital dan diisytihar mati otak, barulah kami diberitahu dia juga mengalami kecederaan di alat sulit. Kami nak pihak polis beritahu kami apa yang sedang dilakukan, kami nak info terbaru. Perkara sebegini tak boleh berlaku pada orang lain," kata seorang ahli keluarga berumur 35 tahun.Sementara itu, Ketua Polis Daerah Timur Laut, Anuar Omar memberitahu bahawa pihak polis telah menemui keluarga itu untuk memberi penjelasan kepada mereka mengenai penyiasatan yang sedang berjalan."Mereka berpuas hati dengan apa yang polis lakukan, tetapi mereka tidak puas hati dengan pihak hospital kerana tidak melakukan pemeriksaan menyeluruh terhadap mangsa ketika dibawa ke sana. Itulah sebabnya mereka memanggil media untuk melaporkan kes ini," kata Anuar.

Polis telah menahan lima pemuda yang terlibat dalam serangan itu

Kesemua mereka berusia di antara 16 hingga 18 tahun dan mengakui melakukan serangan tersebut.Polis melaporkan kelima-lima pemuda diuji negatif untuk dadah. Walau bagaimanapun, polis belum lagi mengeluarkan nama lima penyerang terbabit.

#ProjectIC RCI:  Anwar Says It Is Not Only Dr M's Fault

EC Deputy Chairman Denies Involvement In Project IC

Election Commission (EC) deputy chairman Wan Ahmad Wan Omar told the High Court here yesterday that he was never involved in ‘Project IC’ in Sabah or held the post of EC director in the state, as was reported by PAS’ organ Harakah.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

In his witness statement, Wan Ahmad, 65, said he had never served in Sabah throughout his career with the EC. As such, Wan Ahmad said two articles published in the organ to the effect clearly defamed him.

        bernama.com.my

PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu agreed that he did not do sufficient research before alleging that EC deputy chairperson Datuk Wira Wan Ahmad Wan Omar was involved in giving out identity cards to foreigners with the intention of getting them to vote in Malaysian elections.

Anwar reveals a secret task force formed by the National Security Council was giving out ICs to foreigners since the 1970s

Anwar denied all knowledge, saying he had been kept out of the loop entirely.
Image via themalaymailonline.com

A shadowy taskforce was entrusted with issuing Malaysian identification documents to foreigners in Sabah, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the state's illegal immigrants Thursday.

        thestar.com.my

He said he had learnt during his term in the Government that this secretive taskforce was set up in the early 1970s when Tun Abdul Razak Hussein was Prime Minister and Tun Datu Mustapha Harun was Sabah chief minister.

        thestar.com.my

The refugees were granted identity cards indiscriminately between 1979 and 1990, said Anwar, who said a special task force was formed by the National Security Council for this purpose. "The task force is still active today," he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Yes, I knew of this special task force but I was not privy to its workings or exact details of its tasks. Ultimately, Dr Mahathir was the person responsible and if he chose not to bring-up the issue during Cabinet meetings, you have to wonder why," said Anwar.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“Between 1993 and 1998, when I was the deputy prime minister, I was never once invited for any National Security Council (NSC) meetings. I had heard of the special task force which had been set up by the NSC in 1989 but did not manage to get additional information"

        themalaymailonline.com

“All those years I was deputy prime minister, I had nothing to do with the Home Ministry except to attend Quran readings and launching police stations in Perlis and Permatang Pauh,” he said.

        malaysiakini.com

Anwar says it is not only Dr M's fault, Pak Lah and Najib also continued the operation of the secret task force

"I see in media reports, everything is blamed on Dr Mahathir, it is not right. The system has been in operation before him, was under him, and continued after that. But we have to stop it," Malaysiakini reported Anwar as saying.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

“Dr Mahathir shouldn’t be singled out for Projek IC. Both his successors should also be questioned because it also occurred during their tenures in office,” the 66-year-old was quoted saying, referring to fifth prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and the incumbent, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

        themalaymailonline.com

“I do not believe that they have been disbanded, therefore I do not understand why Abdullah and Najib have not been called (to the RCI). They would have better knowledge, purview and understanding by looking at the notes and minutes of the task force which is under the National Security Council (NSC)."

        themalaymailonline.com

“I would humbly admit that I would probably had done something more had I been made aware of the gravity of the problem at that time,” he said.

        malaysiakini.com

Sabahan policitians say it is impossible Dr M did not know anything about Project IC

Sabah opposition leaders have accused former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad of lying when the latter denied any knowledge of the controversial Project IC, where identity cards were allegedly issued to foreigners in exchange for votes.

        yahoo.com

While they are not surprised with Dr Mahathir's denial, they said it was inconceivable that the country's fourth prime minister had no knowledge of the matter especially since individuals close to him were implicated as well.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“We don’t believe him,” said Datuk Seri Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing. “I think the majority of Sabah thinks that he is behind it and that he is hiding something,” the well-known Kadazandusun Murut leader.

        themalaymailonline.com

"He didn't deny the existence of ICs being given indiscriminately to foreigners, he just denied knowledge of Project IC, which is just a label or name given by people," Kitingan told The Malaysian Insider.

        yahoo.com

“Dr Mahathir has been suffering from amnesia a lot lately. He spoke on oath too... he may believe what he wants to believe but us Sabahans know that Projek IC existed. It is quite impossible that he did not know anything,” the deputy PKR secretary-general added.

        themalaymailonline.com

Lim Kit Siang: “I don’t think many people would believe that he never heard of Projek IC until recently because it was talked about since the 1990s. It is inconceivable that as the PM, he does not know what this is... and that he is even blaming it on the lower level of implementation".

        malaysia-chronicle.com

“He is not telling the truth. The RCI has also seen so many witnesses speaking about Projek IC. So many evidence has come out... it cannot be denied,” the Tamparuli assemblyman said.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Dr M testifies in front of RCI today, denies any knowledge of Project IC

Security at the Kota Kinabalu High Court has been tightened as the country’s longest-serving Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad testify before the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) today. He would be the 209th and most distinguished witness to testify before the RCI.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said he had never heard of Project IC until recently nor had he ever issued any orders related to the indiscriminate issuance of identity cards to illegal immigrants in Sabah.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"I never knew about Project IC until recently". Asked why it was named Project I.C. or Project M, Mahathir said his name was used for many things. "They call me racist, ultra, I am never bothered. It is part of political life."

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Dr M blames it on low ranking officers

Taking the stand for nearly 90 minutes, Dr Mahathir said among the criteria used to issue the cards was that the foreigners had lived in the country for many years, speak the language and adopt the culture.

        thestar.com.my

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has blamed low-ranking officers for giving identity cards to foreigners in Sabah. The former prime minister told the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Sabah’s illegal immigrant problem that there was never any government policy to issue the Malaysian identity cards to foreigners through dubious means.

        thestar.com.my

Dr M stuck to his claim there was never any government policy to issue Malaysian identity cards to foreigners through dubious means. He also denied giving instructions to former Sabah chief minister Harris Salleh or any individual to issue the I.C.s.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Opposition leaders are not surprised with Dr M's testimony

"Does Mahathir really think anyone will believe him that Projek I.C. was undertaken by other politicians and civil servants on their own accord?" said another Opposition politician Nik Nazmi, after hearing Mahathir's testimony a few hours later.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"Dr M will deny everything. His presence is to do damage control. In the end, Malaysians, especially Sabahans, won't get anything useful out of the RCI. No one of importance will be brought to book," Opposition MP for Batu Tian Chua.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Anwar, who was Dr M's deputy when Project IC was carried out, will be called to the stand next week

The RCI's term will expire this month, unless the panel seeks an extension of time from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Anwar Ibrahim, who is now the opposition leader, is also expected to testify on Sept 19.

"I was the grand designer of Project IC," says Matswadi Awi, former aide to Abdullah Badawi

“My job was to put in a data base all the names from “sacks” (berguni-guni) of photostated identity cards given to me (by Mustapha) and then distribute them to areas in Sabah to strengthen Usno for it to wrest power from PBS,” he explained of his design.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Matswadi, who is the 200th witness, also said that the names were sourced from illegal immigrants as well as Malaysian citizens especially from among Peninsular teachers serving in Sabah and the military staff as well as Felda settlers who were from Peninsular.

        malaysia-today.net

The common denominator for all witnesses was that the government was responsible for Sabah being flooded by thousands of immigrants, both legal and illegal. There has been anger at how the natives of Sabah are now grossly outnumbered by Indonesians and Filipinos.

        msn.com

“The next step is to look at those who are already in Sabah and what to do with them. Those with jobs should be regularised and documented while those without documents should be sent back to their home countries,” he said, responding to a question from conducting officer Manoj Kurup.

        thestar.com.my

Pairin said when he was chief minister he had made a presentation to then Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the late 1980s about the issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah.
His government also organised an amnesty programme for illegal immigrants to get proper work permits but that amnesty was met with negative reactions from federal government which eventually ordered a stop to it.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

"Tun Dr Mahathir and the likes of Tan Sri Megat Junid Megat Ayob (then deputy home minister) were only interested in remaining in power. They were willing to sacrifice anything and everything to tighten their grip on power, even if it meant the natives of Sabah will suffer."

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"There were no phantom voters in Sabah," says Sulu leader, Datu Akjan

"There is no such thing as phantom voters in Sabah, it is something which has been sensationalised by politicians who have lost in the elections and want to appear to be heroes," Datu Akjan said, grinning at the RCI panel.

He told the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the presence of illegal immigrants in Sabah that allegations of him being born in the Philippines and brought to Sabah by his uncle were all lies and media spin-off.

When asked what would his opinion be if the Government decides to revoke all the dubious identity cards, Akjan replied, “They have the right to do anything. Why not grant citizenship to immigrants who have been in Sabah for a long time?”

Foreign witnesses say Malaysian ICs were given out in the jungle and coffeeshop

Malaysian identity cards were issued to foreign migrants who worked at a logging camp in Kinabatangan, while some others collected theirs at a coffee shop in Kota Kinabalu, the Royal Commission of Inquiry on illegal immigrants in Sabah heard today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"I took a picture of myself, filled up all the forms at the camp, no testimonial was required. At that time, there were two men whom I did not recognise, handling the issuance of the IC," he said, adding the entire process took about two months.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Another witness who took the stand was Ahmad Soso, 53, who was also from Sulawesi. He said he arrived in Tawau in 1978, on an Indonesian passport. "I have voted in every election, except in 1990."

        malaysiakini.com

“The man in the house filled in the form for me, took my fingerprints and asked me to pay RM10 stamp duty." Ahmad said the man called him three months later and passed the blue identity card to him at a coffeeshop in Kota Kinabalu.

        malaysiakini.com

The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah uncovered a forged identity card during today's proceedings. The forged document belonged to witness Ishak Us'luan, 46, who was on the stand. Ishak was born in Timor, Lambata, Indonesia.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“They can be born in Timbuktu but if the identity card says they were born in Sabah, and this IC was issued by the authorities, that will be the perception.
“The question is, who is to be blamed?” Shim asked.

Key witness, Abdul Mutalib dies of a stroke on 29 June 2013, two days before sixth RCI session

He was an activist who authored books highlighting the project, which generally lashed out at former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. He alleged that Dr Mahathir started the programme to give identity cards to foreigners in exchange for votes.

        themalaysianinsider.com

His writings had been raised several times during the course of the Sabah RCI's investigation and his name was already on the witness list, due to be called soon.

Before Mutalib's passing two days before the sixth session of the RCI inquest tomorrow, the former politician had already testified against former Sabah Chief Minister Harris Salleh last week at the defamation trial of PKR leader Chong Eng Leong.

Paranoia or not, Sabahans are no strangers to "sudden deaths" when it comes to the world of high-stakes politics. Among suspicious deaths that are still whispered around the state is 1976 helicopter crash, where former Sabah chief minister Fuad Stephens was killed.

[NEW UPDATE] Samsung 5G: Experts Say Samsung Is Hyping This

Experts says 5G speed claim by Samsung came too early

The key problem is that there is no agreed 5G standard – and may not be for years, explained Shahram Niri, deputy director of the 5G Innovation Centre at Centre for Communications Systems Research (CCSR) at the University of Surrey.

        guardian.co.uk

It takes a couple of years to develop and agree the best way to do this, and then one or two years to set the standards in committees," he said. "And then it takes another two or three years to deliver the systems on chips and do the testing."

        guardian.co.uk

I wish we’d hear less from companies like Samsung about how magical things are going to be in six or seven years, and more about how they’re working to solve data capacity issues and prohibitive usage thresholds today.

Samsung has announced 5G breakthrough that allows users to download a movie in one second

News has it that Samsung is promising to deliver high speed 5G wireless data connections to consumers, where estimated speeds would allow a movie to be downloaded in under one second.... BOOM! Hard to believe?
Image via imgur.com

Samsung Electronics said Monday it had successfully tested super-fast fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology that would eventually allow users to download an entire movie in one second.

        haveeru.com.mv

The South Korean giant said the test had witnessed data transmission of more than one gigabyte per second over a distance of two kilometres.

Some parts of the world, such as China, have yet to launch 4G networks, but already Samsung is promising to deliver high speed 5G wireless data connections to consumers by 2020.

The new technology, which will not be ready for the commercial market before 2020 at the earliest, would offer transmitting speeds “up to several hundred times faster” than existing 4G networks, it said in a statement.

        hindustantimes.com

The test used 64 antenna elements, which the tech titan said overcame the issue of "unfavourable propagation characteristics" that have prevented data travelling across long distances using the bands

About 5G technology

In tests conducted at a 28 GHz frequency, the company saw data speeds of more than 1Gbps over a range of up to 2 kilometers. Following the breakthrough, Samsung is planning ramp up its R&D efforts with the target of commercial availability in 2020.

A Malaysian Graduate Needs RM367,000 To Get Her Father Back Home After A Sudden Stroke

What should have been a happy event for 28-year-old Nur 'Amalina turned into a nightmare when her healthy father suddenly suffered a stroke days before her graduation

Nur 'Amalina and her father, Sahrom Ahmad.
Image via Twitter @unicornbaehh

'Amalina, who hails from Penang, was set to graduate with an MSc in International Management from University of Loughborough, United Kingdom on Monday, 17 December.However, just a few hours after her 58-year-old father Sahrom Ahmad touched down in London, he suffered a stroke and had to be rushed to Charing Cross Hospital.

One brain haemorrhage and an emergency operation later, the family has now racked up a hospital bill of more than GBP70,000 (RM367,000) - not inclusive of the costs of flying Sahrom back home

56-year-old Salmah Semail, who is Sahrom's wife, said he had purchased travel insurance with a coverage of RM300,000. However, according to the insurance policy, the company will only pay for repatriation if the policy holder is the victim of an accident.Additionally, the policy states that the family has to pay for the expenses first and claim back from the company later.

"We will not have enough even if we put our savings together," Salmah told New Straits Times. Both Sahrom and Salmah are retirees of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).The family is currently negotiating with the insurance company to pay for the repatriation, but they still require money to pay for the flight with medical equipment and a medical team to accompany Sahrom back home to Penang.

With some help from family members and friends, the family has managed to collect RM12,000 of the total so far

The family has also made appeals through Facebook, Twitter, and most recently, through crowdfunding platform GoFundMe.Johor Permaisuri Raja Zarith Sofiah also highlighted the campaign on her personal Facebook page, saying, "Please help bring him home to Malaysia. I've donated. It doesn't matter how little or how much you can donate - even RM10 will make a difference."

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

Food prices appear to be a topic that Malaysians discuss every other week as they brace themselves for the country's current economic state

One Malaysian was taken aback by the price of their lunch when they were charged so much for two plates of rice with simple side dishes.According to a viral tweet posted by user @isusemasaviral, the local said they went to a restaurant in Desa Pandan, Kuala Lumpur, for their lunch break.While at the restaurant, they ordered two plates of white rice with grilled fish, bitter bean, sweet soy beef, and small bits of fried squid.They were shocked when they received the bill for their food, which totalled RM71.50."Excluding drinks, these lunches cost RM28 and RM37 each. They said they were charged RM2 for each small squid that they took," the user tweeted.

Malaysians were outraged by the price of the lunch and expressed their displeasure in the comment section

Some users claimed that they had gone to the same restaurant and were also charged a ridiculous amount while eating there."They will charge you a different price today, and they will charge you a different price again tomorrow," wrote one user.

"It's as if Malaysia is in the middle of the desert for them to charge seafood at that price," wrote another user.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, one user suggested that every restaurant openly display its food prices."Just hang it with cellophane tape. Write the prices with a marker so everyone can see clearly how much they are supposed to pay," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

As of writing, the tweet has garnered over 1,700 retweets and 2,500 likes.

A Johorean family recently recounted how they were charged RM86 for a serving of nasi kandar with an extra plate of rice:

Election Commission Says Undi18 Can Only Be Implemented After September 2022

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

The implementation of Undi18, under which Malaysians aged 18 to 20 can cast votes, is expected to be implemented only after 1 September next year, according to the Election Commission (EC) of Malaysia

In a statement today, 25 March, the EC said that while they are committed to the implementation of the Undi 18 Bill that lowers the voting age from 21 to 18 with automatic voter registration for them, their preparations towards it have been affected by the movement control order (MCO).According to the statement, the EC is working towards the implementation of both process so that the youths of the country can cast their votes in the 15th General Election in 2023.It added that preparations towards the implementation of the Undi 18 Bill are still ongoing which includes efforts pertaining to system development, checks and coordination of data, programmes involving government agencies, political parties, and NGOs as well as other related preparations.

The EC stated that it has to be realistic amidst the current situation in the country, which is still in the period of MCO

			This directly affects planning and SPR preparations.
        EC

"Thus, the automatic voter registration and Undi18 is expected to be implemented after 1 September 2022 after re-evaluating various constraints and issues that have affected the EC's initial planning and preparation," it said.It is believed that the delay in the implementation of Undi18, which was previously announced to be done by July 2021, will affect some 1.2 million Malaysians if the next general election is called before September 2022.While there has been no official announcement about GE15, many political experts expect the next general election to be held right after the state of Emergency is lifted in August this year, as the commission stated that it will launch an automatic pre-registration check system through its portal in August 2021.

The EC stated that there are 4.4 million Malaysians who are aged 21 and above and eligible to vote who have not yet registered as voters

It urged those aged 21 and above to immediately register as voters.

The announcement by the EC comes two weeks after Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim said 'Undi18' is not practical for now:

"Please Have Common Sense" – KTMB Calls Out Men Who Ride In Ladies' Coaches

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

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) is the next public transport company to call out behaviour that go against its rules.
This time, KTMB reprimanded male commuters who ride in women's coaches.

KTMB posted a video reel on its official Facebook page on 11 August, Thursday, depicting a woman's point of view when she enters the women's coach, only to find it filled with men. The video features male passengers in the video, nonchalantly using their phones while sitting on the train's seats which are designated for women.The distinctive pink "This is the ladies coach. Women only" sign is featured prominently in the video as well.

Image via KTM Berhad (Facebook)

The social media administrator of the KTMB Facebook page wrote a plea to men who use its services, to please leave the ladies' coaches alone

"I [the administrator] don't ask for much. I ask for male KTM passengers to please use the other coaches," the administrator urged.The video has since garnered over 58,000 views as well as 548 comments at the time of writing.

Netizens had lots to say about the issue in the KTMB Facebook comments section

Some netizens pointed out that female passengers actually don't use the ladies' coach that often and prefer to ride in the regular coaches. "Admin, I always see the ladies coach having lots of empty seats. Many women enjoy sitting in the regular coaches," one user wrote.KTMB responded by saying, "We will ask them [female passengers] nicely to prioritise filling up the ladies coaches."

Image via KTM Berhad (Facebook)

However, other netizens pointed out that there should be authorities onboard the train at all times to prevent issues like these from happening

"Please have auxiliary police in the ladies coach. There are times where the gender in question (men) are either illiterate or suddenly hard of hearing. At times, I swear they become rocks when sitting in the ladies coach. Some even argue that they pay taxes and whatever. They will sit in whatever coach as they see fit," one user wrote.

Image via Facebook

"Please enforce rules and regulations consistently. Don't just witness the behaviour and upload the video on social media as a reminder only," another commented.

In a 1,600-word Facebook post, Alvin cited two groups of hypothetical mice (A and B) exposed to contrasting life conditions and eventually becoming "radically different" from each other

Group A is described to have the better end of the stick, being "well-fed, kept warm, kept away from predators, and allowed to reproduce for generations", whereas Group B had to overcome harsh conditions such as limited food, cold temperature and natural predators.

Due the extreme forces of nature pitted against them, Alvin describes the surviving members of Group B as those with "superior genes".

Alvin hypothesised that when both groups are mixed together in a new environment, Group B flourished while Group A struggled to survive

Because population B carries only elite genes whereas population A carries all sorts of substandard genes, population B thrived over population A in many ways. Population B has survived hardship for generations, while population A didn't even know hardship existed.

So what's the deal with all this 'mice talk'? Turns out, he was actually making a distinction between the Malays and Chinese in Malaysia, with the Malays being likened to Group A of the mice population and the Chinese, Group B.

Alvin describes the Malays as having lived a comfortable life in a "warm equatorial climate with an abundance of sunlight, rain, greenery, rich soil, and a variety of flora and fauna that served as food" and never having to deal with "survival-threatening" factors, hence rendering them dormant throughout time and evolution.

On the other hand, Alvin stated the Chinese have been subjected to political and environmental hardships, resulting in a 'survival of the fittest' and making the Chinese some of the most "entrepreneurial, hardworking, and intelligent people on earth".

Due to the Chinese people's "wealth and success" in Malaysia, Alvin alleged that Malaysia's political power constructed economic policies for the purpose of preventing a "deeply-humiliating" economic divide between the Malays and Chinese

[The Chinese] just suddenly showed up and made loads of money in just a few years, in their land (WHAT AUDACITY!), becoming really prosperous, while they who have been sitting on those lands for centuries didn't even manage to come close to that level of wealth and success. Because they were still the majority, political power naturally remained in their hands by virtue of democracy.

        facebook.com

Alvin ended the post by urging Malaysian Chinese to "start dreaming big" and leave the country if they want to "make it", citing Dato' Jimmy Choo, Michelle Yeoh and James Wan as examples

Unlike his previous provocative posts against the government, Alvin's latest post has quite a number of readers agreeing with his sentiments

Some have also noted that while the post is "well-written", they do not think that leaving the country is the right answer

However, some have also criticised the post, calling it "racist" and "narrow-minded"

Ali Tinju Has Yet Another Racist Thing To Say To The Malaysian Chinese

In a sudden fit of rage, Malay Army Veterans Association president Ali Tinju has branded the Malaysian Chinese community as the "race of cheaters".
He made this controversial statement while shooting accusations at MCA leaders, that recently said the phone scam incident in Kota Raya has nothing to do with race.

Accusing MCA of defending “cheating Chinese”, Mohd Ali Baharom told leaders in the Barisan Nasional (BN) party to stop shifting the blame and to take responsibility for the actions of the ethnic group it represents.The former soldier whose Merah 1Malaysia movement claims to champion Malay rights told the ruling Chinese party to “school” its people first, after the leaders pointed out that race has nothing to do with dishonest merchants in the wake of an alleged handphone scam at the Kota Raya shopping complex in the city last week.

        themalaymailonline.com

"I am warning MCA leaders. Shut your mouth, don’t question other races. School your own race first. Your race are cheaters," blasted Ali Tinju, over a phone interview with ProjekMMO, yesterday.

“I am warning MCA leaders. Shut your mouth, don’t question other races. School your own race first. Your race are cheaters,” he said.“Do they agree with the Chinese trader’s action? Do MCA leaders have nothing better to do than to blame other races when their own race kicks up a fuss, is insolent and cheats?” he quizzed over the phone when contacted yesterday.Are MCA leaders defending their race who cheat, blackmail, intimidate the rakyat?" questioned Ali Tinju.

        themalaymailonline.com

ProjekMMO is the Bahasa Malaysia, sister publication of Malay Mail Online.

Continuing his spew of insult, Ali Tinju went on to say that MCA should just leave the BN coalition and join the opposition party, so that it will be easier for "critics" to attack them

He also took his rants a notch higher by accusing MCA of using Barisan Nasional; he said it would be better if they left the ruling coalition and joined the DAP so it would be easier to attack them.“MCA must be more self-aware and look into the mirror. MCA is sitting on a free chair gifted by Malays. Wake up MCA.That chair in the Cabinet is also a free seat. If MCA does not take care of its race, better to get out of BN. Go join DAP. Easier for us to attack,” the news portal reported him as saying.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Responding to Ali Tinju's sudden hate comments against the Chinese people, MCA Youth chief Chong Sin Woon said that Ali's opinions do not represent most Malays that are known to be peace-loving, wise and moderate

Mohd Ali Baharom, better known as Ali Tinju, should “keep his mouth shut”, says MCA Youth chief Chong Sin Woon.Instead, Chong said, Ali Tinju only represented a radical group which was racist and extreme and did not represent Malays in general.“He should shut up and stop creating racial tension in the country.He said it was obvious that Ali did not understand how to live in a modern multi-racial country like Malaysia.

        therakyatpost.com

Just two days ago, on Monday, 21 December, Ali Tinju made equally racially sensitive remarks about the Chinese community, calling the Chinese traders "unethical" and "irresponsible blackmailers", referring to the recent phone scam incidents

Image via Malay Mail Online

He said the fight was a consequence of the actions of unscrupulous Chinese handphone traders who dominated the shopping complex and would not have happened if they had been ethical and respected consumer rights.“I support 100 per cent the actions of customers who are dissatisfied because I 100 per cent blame the Chinese merchants who are unethical, irresponsible, blackmail, cheat and twist facts. This is what should be punished really.“Hitting is not right but we can’t talk because they are angry and emotional. Maybe it’s the way the seller was insolent when speaking to Malays,” Mohd Ali said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Just hours after he made that statement, he was arrested and the police obtained a two-days remand order under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code

This wasn't the first time Ali Tinju is being arrested for seditious remarks. On 14 July, he was picked up by the cops for making racially insensitive comments about the Low Yat incident.

Police obtained the remand order from a magistrate at a hearing held at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters this morning.The self-proclaimed leader of the "red movement", also known as Ali Tinju, was arrested yesterday around 7pm and held at the Dang Wangi lockup. Kuala Lumpur CID chief Zainuddin Ahmad, said investigations into Ali Tinju would be held under the Sedition Act.

"Jangan Kita Rendahkan Golongan Pemberatur KFC Yang Miskin & Ingin Merasa Sekali-Sekala"

Semalam, 20 Februari 2020, restoran makanan segera kegemaran ramai iaitu KFC telah membuat promosi dengan menawarkan dua Snack Plate pada harga RM20 sahaja

Image via Twitter @meorsyazwann

Ekoran daripada promosi 'kaw-kaw' yang dibuat restoran makanan segera itu, ramai dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia sanggup beratur panjang dan menunggu untuk tempoh masa yang lama bagi mendapatkan tawaran yang disediakan.Bahkan, situasi luar biasa itu juga turut dapat dilihat di kesemua restoran KFC semalam apabila pengunjung yang datang adalah terlalu ramai sehingga ada yang beratur hingga ke luar pintu restoran.Melihat kepada situasi itu, ada sesetengah pihak seolah-olah mempertikai kesanggupan individu untuk beratur dalam tempoh masa yang lama semata-mata bagi mendapatkan tawaran tersebut dengan menganggap ia sebagai tidak berbaloi dan membuang masa.

Justeru, seorang pengguna Facebook telah memuat naik sebuah posting bagi 'menyedarkan' semula kelompok yang tidak senang dengan kesanggupan individu untuk mendapatkan tawaran tersebut

Menerusi perkongsian yang dibuat pengguna Facebook bernama Ibnu Rijal, dia berkata masyarakat tidak sepatutnya mempunyai persepsi buruk terhadap individu yang rela mengorbankan masa dan tenaganya bagi mendapatkan promosi tersebut.Sejak artikel ini ditulis, ia telah mendapat hampir 1.5 ribu tanda suka dengan lebih 300 shares.Untuk perkongsian penuh, boleh teruskan membaca di bawah:

Image via Twitter @pro_fix12

Hari ini di KFCDi sana ada mereka yang punya anak-anak yang begitu inginkan KFC, anaknya ramai, tak mampu dibahagiakan semua. Maka datang promosi ini, ia rela walau berjam lamanya perlu beratur. Untuk anak anak.Takkanlah kerana mereka berpusu hari ini untuk dapatkan KFC, kita membandingkan mereka dengan tidak pula berpusu ke masjid. Kita kenalkah setiap seorang yang beratur itu.Saya lebih hormati mereka yang beratur mendapatkan KFC murah dari mereka yang berasak mendapatkan tudung mahal. KFC barangkali untuk bahagiakan anak-anak. Tetapi tudung mahal barangkali kepuasan sendiri. Pun begitu, saya tidak pernah merendahkan golongan ini. Dia minat, tak apalah dia nak beli. Cuma disamakan dua situasi ini, amatlah tidak tepat.Ketiganya, saya melihat di jalanan tadi tiga empat cawangan KFC dipenuhi drive-thru nya dengan kereta-kereta mewah dan orang-orang kaya yang turut berpusu. Entah mengapa saya tidak gemar dengan situasi itu. Alangkah indahnya hidup ini sekiranya kali ini yang kaya dan mampu ke KFC setiap minggu, beri laluan sebentar kepada golongan kurang mampu, yang mungkin jumpa KFC setahun sekali. Jika kita sendiri pun berpusu, jika stok habis, alangkah sedihnya bila keluarga miskin tadi tak sempat mendapatkan ayam yang mereka idamkan, Sedang anak anak menanti di rumah.Jangan kita merendahkan golongan pemberatur KFC yang miskin yang ingin merasa sekali sekala. Tapi kalau nak kecam juga, kecamlah si kaya yang turut berebut, sedang KFC dalam peti ais rumahnya pun belum habis dimakan.

Perkongsian dibuat individu ini telah mendapat reaksi positif daripada pengikut yang rata-ratanya bersetuju dengan pandangan tersebut

The video, which has extremely disturbing footage of the father mercilessly assaulting and abusing the baby girl, was angered many on the Internet.Several prominent celebrities and influencers shared the video on their social media platforms to push authorities to find the father and save the girl.Some also tagged Unicef, the UN agency dealing with children-related issues.

In another video posted on Instagram, the man justified his act, saying he wanted to teach his daughter to walk by beating her

He also claimed that the video of his beating his daughter is old and that his wife who left the house two weeks ago was the one who published the video to get revenge."I was teaching the girl to walk, look she is walking well now," the father showed the girl in the video, who appears to be older now, and started apologising."I've been taking care of my four children for the last two weeks.

[VIDEO] Watch What Happens When Guys Guess The Prices Of Women's Clothing On FashionValet

This Spotlight is sponsored by FashionValet.

A couple years ago we were introduced to Farid and Alif when they gifted us with a "review" of beauty products

Image via FashionValet

Farid (on the left) is the head of graphic design at FashionValet, while Alif is the leading software engineer. Despite being a huge part of the #FVteam, the boys remain pretty clueless about all things fashion and beauty. And that, of course, makes their video all the more hilarious (and adorable)!

Now our favourite FashionValet boys are back with a Raya edition of their Clueless Review!
Will they be able to correctly guess how much women's clothing and accessories cost? Watch to find out:

×

Their descriptions of the gorgeous Raya clothes were... interesting >.<

Image via FashionValet

And their stunned reactions to the original prices of the outfits honestly made us giggle

Image via FashionValet

Alif actually guessed that particular outfit was between RM400 to RM500, while Farid guessed RM350. So they were both shocked that it was much cheaper.

But the best part was watching their faces when the slashed prices were revealed

Image via FashionValet

Farid is pretending to call his mum to ask if she wants a new outfit because it's so cheap but honestly, we legit want it too. That "grey-ish blue with silver dust" baju kurung modern is seriously cute, and for just RM89.50 it's a steal!

Bayi Dikerat 8 Dan Dibuang Dalam Lubang Tandas Oleh Ibu Di Kedah

Selepas satu kes bayi kerat 15 tanpa kepala dilapor pada Mei lalu di Johor, kini berlaku lagi satu kes kerat bayi, dan kali ini di Kedah. Ironinya, situasi untuk kedua-dua kes adalah hampir serupa.

Polis menemui mayat bayi kerat 15 di dalam loji kumbahan di Johor pada 17 Mei 2015.
Image via www.apeciter.com

Pada petang Selasa, 7 Julai 2015, polis menemui sebahagian tubuh bayi yang dikerat enam bahagian di dalam tangki tandas di sebuah rumah di Kampung Manggol, Jitra

Ketua Polis Daerah Kubang Pasu Superintendan Abd Rahim Abdullah.
Image via www.sinarharian.com.my

Ketua Polis Daerah Kubang Pasu Superintendan Abd Rahim Abdullah yang mengesahkan perkara itu berkata terdapat beberapa tubuh bayi belum ditemui seperti bahagian tangan, kemaluan dan kaki kanan bayi tersebut.Katanya tubuh bayi dipercayai dikerat dengan menggunakan senjata tajam, sebelum dibuang ke dalam tangki tandas.

        bharian.com.my

Susulan penemuan itu, ibu bayi terbabit berusia 31 tahun ditahan. Difahamkan, wanita tersebut mengerat bayi itu sebaik melahirkannya di dalam tandas tanpa diketahui ahli keluarga yang lain.

Lokasi mayat bayi dikerat lapan ditemui.
Image via www.hmetro.com.my

“Pada mulanya dia mengadu sakit pinggang ketika berada di rumah datuknya menyebabkan ahli keluarga menghantarnya ke klinik untuk menerima rawatan. Doktor kemudian memberitahu dia hanya mengalami masalah angin dan kurang gula dalam darah sebelum memberinya ubat.""Wanita itu kemudian pulang ke rumah sebelum tidur. Bagaimanapun dia terjaga pada 1 petang mengadu sakit perut sebelum ke tandas. Dia hanya keluar sejam kemudian selepas melahirkan anaknya di dalam tandas dan tidak menceritakan kejadian itu kepada keluarga.""Dia mengalami pendarahan pada keesokan harinya dan disedari keluarga yang menghantarnya ke Hospital Jitra pada 1.45 petang," kata Abd Rahim.

        hmetro.com.my

Pada mulanya, wanita terbabit berkata dia hanya membuang bayi itu ke dalam tong sampah. Selepas siasatan dijalankan, akhirnya dia mengaku mengerat bayi berkenaan dengan senjata tajam kemudian membuangnya ke dalam lubang tandas.

"Doktor yang merawatnya kemudian mendapati ada kesan koyakan di kemaluan sebelum dia mengaku melahirkan anak dan membuangnya di dalam tong sampah."“Polis yang menerima maklumat itu menjalankan siasatan sebelum dia mengaku membuang bayinya yang dikerat enam dipercayai menggunakan senjata tajam ke dalam lubang tandas," katanya.Abd Rahim berkata, anggota polis kemudian ke lokasi kejadian dan menemui beberapa tubuh bayi yang dikerat di dalam tangkis najis dan ada beberapa bahagian tubuh yang masih belum dijumpai.

        hmetro.com.my

Pada petang Rabu, dua lagi bahagian tangan dan kaki kanan bayi ditemui pada jam 3.30 menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan sebenar lapan bahagian

Bahagian tangan dan kaki itu sudah dihantar ke Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah, Alor Setar untuk tindakan selanjutnya.“Selepas pemeriksaan mayat bayi itu oleh doktor patologi, kita akan menyemak ujian asid deoksiribonukleik (DNA) bayi itu dengan suspek.
