Najib says April 3rd because he needed time

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak wanted four years in office before calling for polls as he needed sufficient time to see all his initiatives through.

Najib said: "It was a good day. We couldn't get a better or more auspicious date, and Cabinet happened to be meeting that day.

        malaysiandigest.com

"Actually, in my mind, I wanted four years (in office) because we required time for planning of policies and to see through their inception and execution.

        malaysiandigest.com

"Mind you, none of the Opposition-held states dissolved their legislature earlier.

        thestar.com.my

So, if they complain about the time taken to dissolve (Parliament) they should look at themselves and ask why they did not dissolve theirs earlier," he said.

Under the Own Your Home Programme, PropertyGuru is empowering 100,000 Malaysians to become homeowners by 2020.

One of the many initiatives by PropertyGuru to achieve this is the PropertyGuru Loan Pre-Approval - a 5-minute tool to show you whether you can afford to buy your dream home

PropertyGuru Loan Pre-Approval is the only bank-preferred loan solution that allows you to be sure of how much home loan you can get from the bank.Why is it important to get Pre-Approved?The tool accurately calculates how much the bank can lend you, so you know the price range of properties to focus on.Search for a house based on your eligible loan amount. It will be more precise and so much easier than ever before!Submit your Pre-Approved property to our bank partners, and get better interest rates for your loan. You also get to save more.Best of all, this tool is free, fast, and completely secure to use!

Image via Freepik edited by SAYS

Here's how it works:

Image via PropertyGuru

2. Add your basic monthly income and fixed monthly allowance

Image via PropertyGuru

3. Upload the front and back of your MyKad for verification purposes

Image via PropertyGuru

Your information will be verified (it only takes a few seconds!) so that you can get an accurate DSR and ‘eligible loan amount.’Unlike other DSR/loan calculators, PropertyGuru provides the most accurate indication of how much banks will lend you. This is because PropertyGuru provides secure access to your credit information.

4. There are two possible results for your 'eligible loan amount' depending on your Debt Service Ratio (DSR)

The DSR percentage determines the maximum amount that can be borrowed, which is your eligible loan amount. Keep in mind that this is a general indication based on how much your self-declared monthly income is.

Image via PropertyGuru

If your DSR is high, you may not get Pre-Approved yet. But don't worry, your journey to owning a home doesn't end there! Just click on the 'How can I improve my DSR?' button to get advice on how to secure a bank loan.

Image via PropertyGuru

If your DSR is low, this means you are more likely to secure a bank loan.Your borrowing range will depend on your net income. It's a great way to start searching for properties because now you have specific numbers in mind!

5. Now that you know your DSR, you'll be provided with details from PropertyGuru's trusted partner banks. From there, just select which banks you'd like to inquire for a loan (you can select all of them!)

Image via PropertyGuru

6. Finally, you can get a head start on your house hunting by searching homes in your borrowing range. This list is automatically generated by PropertyGuru based on your results :D

[VIDEO] Man Tries To Pay For Stranger At Drive-Thru But Is Shocked By The Amount

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

A young man from Johor has captured the attention of TikTok users for his attempt to pay for a stranger's meal at a McDonald's drive-thru

In a video uploaded on his TikTok account @yiendiwn, 23-year-old Nadzren can be seen receiving his food at the payment counter of the drive-thru.As he was about to pay, the kind youth told the cashier that he would also like to foot the bill for the car behind him in the queue."The car at the back, can you add their bill together with mine? I want to pay for them," he said excitedly as he whipped out a debit card.Nadzren told SAYS that he likes to pay for strangers whenever he can."Not everyone is as lucky as us, we never know who are in trouble. So I will randomly spend money on people around me, even though I do not know them or their fate. I do it sincerely," he said.

Image via @yiendiwn (TikTok)

Unfortunately, this time, he did not expect the cashier to say, "Okay, the total is RM257.90"

In the video, his face immediately fell. "Why is it so expensive?" Nadzren asked the cashier.She explained to him that the bill was high because the driver behind him had bought many breakfast sets to bring to the office.In the end, the young man decided that he could not afford to pay for the stranger's bill."I don't have enough... Cancel lah, kak," he said, after thinking it through for a few moments.The cashier can be heard reassuring him that he will have another chance to pay for someone else in the future."You have a good heart. You had good intentions. It's okay, just not this time," she said as he shyly handed over his card to pay for his own food.

Image via @yiendiwn (TikTok)

The comments section was filled with netizens who commended the young man anyway – many did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the price that he had to pay

As of writing, the video has garnered over 1.6 million views, 163,000 likes, and nearly 7,000 comments."Aduh," commented a TikTok user, both laughing and crying.

Image via @yiendiwn (TikTok)

"I would have been alarmed too. It's okay. At least you had good intentions," assured another user.

This netizen also said, "It's okay, brother. As long as your intentions were good. Wishing you an abundance of good fortune."

The Astronauts Training For Mars And 8 Other Badass Women In Male-Dominated Industries

National Geographic's new groundbreaking miniseries 'Mars' is showcasing kickass female scientists in the traditionally male-dominated field

Studies have found that women are lacking in the STEM field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, making up less than 20% of graduates in bachelor degrees.Researchers have questioned why women are so underrepresented in these industries, and have found that the vast gender gaps in maths and science are caused as early as school days, where girls are systematically teased for their interest in the subjects and subsequently pressured and discouraged from continuing :(There are also a host of other reasons women are not given equal opportunities as their male counterparts in these fields. The Ron Howard and Brian Grazer-produced miniseries, 'Mars,' is subtly tackling these issues and more through the epic tale of the first manned mission to the red planet, while featuring four amazing female scientists.

Image via National Geographic Channel

Actress and singer JiHAE plays two awesome women on the show - twin sisters Hana and Joon. Hana is second-in-command on board the Daedalus, making its maiden journey to Mars, while Joon represents the Mars Mission Corporation and remains at mission control on Earth.Hana and Joon's space experiences are presented parallel to the true story of twin brothers Scott and Mark Kelly. The brothers supported NASA's first year-long mission on the International Space Station, with Scott in orbit and Mark remaining in ground control. 'Before Mars' reveals the backstory of the twin sisters as teens, giving us an inside look at the obstacles and struggles girls regularly face as they venture into the world of science.

Image via National Geographic Channel

Meanwhile, check out these real-life badass women who are making a difference in the male-dominated world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics:

1. Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr Mazlan Othman, Malaysia's first astrophysicist

Image via Alcetron

Born in Seremban, Dr Mazlan Othman is the first woman to earn a PhD in physics at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Since then she worked in Malaysia as the nation's first astrophysicist. Following her appointment as Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs in Vienna in 1999, she returned to Malaysia in 2002 to serve for five years as the founding Director General of Angkasa, the Malaysian National Space Agency. Her work led to the launch of the first Malaysian astronaut, Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor.

2. Liu Yang became the first Chinese woman in space in 2012

Image via The Daily Beast

Liu Yang joined the People's Liberation Army Air Force in 1997, became the deputy head of a flight unit, and held the rank of Major. A veteran pilot, she went on to excel in astronaut training. Liu was subsequently selected for the crew of Shenzhou 9, the first manned mission to the Chinese space station Tiangong 1. During the space mission, Liu performed experiments in space medicine.

3. At the age of 17, computer whiz Brittany Wenger designed an "artificial brain" to detect signs of breast cancer

Image via Alchetron

Brittany Wenger created an artificial "brain" to assess signs of breast cancer after her cousin was diagnosed with the disease. At only 17 years old, she developed a computer program coded to process data and detect patterns to accurately assess tissue samples for signs of breast cancer :OWenger took home first prize at the 2012 Google Science Fair for her work. The breast cancer test, which now has its own app, is in beta tests with two cancer research centres. She's still only 22 years old and we can't wait to see what else she'll create for the world!

4. Maryam Mirzakhani is the first woman to win the Fields Medal, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of math”

Image via Standford University

Born in Iran, Maryam Mirzakhani grew up in a culture where boys and girls attended separate schools up until university. As a teenager, she demanded that the principal of her school arrange for maths problem-solving classes similar to what was taught at high schools for boys. At the age of 17, Mirzakhani made the Iranian maths Olympiad team became the first Iranian girl to earn a gold medal.Since then she has built herself a reputation among mathematicians as being the most persistent in tackling the hardest questions in her field. In 2014, she became the first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics.

5. Helen Greiner, the co-founder of iRobot

Image via TechCrunch

In 1990, Helen Greiner co-founded iRobot, a company that delivers robots into the industrial, consumer, and military markets. She released Roomba, the little robot vacuum that cleans your house for you, as well as PackBot and SUGV which were created for military purposes. Greiner says she was inspired to get into robotics when she first saw R2-D2 in Star Wars at the age of 12. (Let's hope she builds him in real life too!)

6. Malaysian Professor Dr Muzlifah Haniffa is awarded with a prestigious Fellowship to find new treatments for cancer

Penang-born scientist, Professor Dr Muzlifah Haniffa, was awarded the prestigious Lister Institute Research Prize Fellowship in May for her research on the immune system. As part of the fellowship, she receives £200,000 (RM1.09mil), which will go into her research with the aim of finding new treatments for cancer as well as improving existing vaccination strategies.

7. In 2006, Dr. Frances Allen became the first woman to win the A.M. Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing”

Image via Huffington Post

Dr. Frances Allen was raised on a dairy farm in a house that didn't have electricity or plumbing. Despite her simple rural upbringing, she proved to be outstanding in mathematics and went on to complete her master's degree in the subject.Recruited by IBM, Allen taught skeptical programmers in the company a new high-level coding language called Fortran that revolutionised computer programming. A pioneer in her field, Dr. Allen is the first female IBM Fellow and in 2006 became the first woman to win the Turing Award.

8. Irish astrophysicist Dr. Jocelyn Bell Burnell served as the first female president of the Institute of Physics

Image via BBC

Despite her keen interest in astronomy growing up, Burnell was not allowed to study science at Lurgan College in Northern Ireland where she attended. The school's policy forbid girls to take up science, and instead included subjects such as cooking and cross-stitching. Her parents, along with others, protested the policy to have it changed.Dr. Jocelyn Bell Burnell would go on to serve as the first female president of the Institute of Physics, a non-profit organization with a membership of over 50,000 scientists, and win multiple awards for her work as an astrophysicist.

9. The four women being trained to go to Mars

In 2013, eight people became NASA's newest class of astronauts. Known as the "Eight Balls," this is the first time NASA has had a class with a 1:1 ratio of men to women. On top of that, members of the class are likely to be selected for a journey to Mars!Here are the female astronauts who may be the first to step foot on the red planet:- Anne McClain has flown attack helicopters on the front lines of Iraq and is an aerospace engineer.- Nicole Aunapu Mann served multiple tours in Iraq flying fighter jets with the Marine Corps.- Christina Hammock Koch spent a year in the South Pole supercooling telescopes with 10,000 gallons of liquid helium.- Jessica Meir has a PhD in marine biology and experience diving under several feet of ice in Antarctica.

More and more women are making waves in the traditionally male-dominated fields of STEM, and we can't get enough of the badass twin sisters featured in the new web show 'Before Mars'

The show follows the stories of Hana and Joon as they discover their love for space exploration. Inspiring and powerful, we see the girls navigate their teen lives feeling awkward and ostracized for being both culturally different, and for being more interested in subjects labelled as "geeky," "uncool" and "for boys only." Watch them break the stereotype of women in STEM here.

And watch how their perseverance paid off in 'Mars,' the epic six-part TV series on the National Geographic Channel, every Sunday at 10pm on Astro channel 553, and HD 573

Here's how you could be join the first human civilisation on Mars:

When another passenger tries to intervene, the man tells him, "I don't know you, f--- off!"The video cuts to the man sitting on the floor of the plane in protest, claiming he had been asking for water for two hours. "I'm paying for service," he says in defence of his behaviour.

In another video later on, a different flight attendant calmly asks for the man's cooperation

The passenger can be heard yelling, "Why you don't give me f---ing water, you f---ing idiot!"He continues to mock and shout profanities at the flight attendant, chanting, "Water, agua, water, agua," (agua is Spanish for water) before threatening him with physical violence, saying, "I'm going to push you over!"The passenger was eventually escorted out of the plane by two auxiliary police officers, and other passengers aboard SQ711 can be heard cheering.

In a statement to New Straits Times, the airline has since apologised to the passengers whose flights were delayed due to the incident."The safety of our customers and staff is always our top priority," their spokesman said. "Singapore Airlines apologises to all customers on board the flight for the inconvenience caused by this incident."

You can watch the video of the incident here:

  @simplyhappy777 On 8 Nov 2022, on sq711 landed at Singapore Terminal 2 from Bangok this crazy passenger threatened to push over the sq crew if he does not give him water. The seat belt sign is still on and he suppose to be seated. Wasted all the passenger time for the ground staff security to take him off the plane.#stomp   original sound - user6163865113147 - user6163865113147

The Office Boy Who Became An AirAsia Pilot Through His Sheer Determination And Hard Work

'Nothing is impossible', a phrase we all are way too familiar with. However, we hardly come across someone who epitomises it. And AirAsia's wonderboy Kugan Tangiisuran is one such person.

Image via Harian Metro

Hailing from Perai in Penang, Kugan had aspired to become a pilot since he was eight. However, it wasn't going to be an easy ride.
After Kugan finished school, he couldn't study to become a pilot as the courses were too expensive for his middle-class family.

"I ended up studying in the hospitality management field and worked in various hotels in Penang for several years,” Kugan was quoted as saying my FMT. "Then, one day, a friend who worked with AirAsia told me to join the company. He said it gave opportunities to its staff to move between departments," said Kugan, following which he applied for a job with the airline and was offered the position of despatch boy. Kugan, who wasn't put off by the offer, saw the post of an office boy as a stepping stone to his childhood dream to fly and joined AirAsia in 2006.

In the same year, Kugan passed the exam to become a cadet pilot

However, a policy which required Kugan to have served for at least two years at his current department dashed his hopes and he wasn't allowed to proceed further.It didn't deter him. Kugan continued carrying out despatch duties and delivering letters while still keeping alive his dream of becoming a pilot one day.For the next seven years, he kept trying, sitting for exam three more times. Throughout the seven years, even after numerous failures, Kugan never gave up and applied 11 times and sat for 4 qualification examinations.His perseverance caught the attention of none other than AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes, who personally pushed him to keep trying.

Then in 2013, Kugan successfully passed all the required exams and was accepted into Asia Pacific Flight Training (APFT). He completed his training at APFT to become a co-pilot in June last year.

Following which, later in August, he took to the controls of a regular passenger plane for the first time, co-piloting a flight to Miri, describing the experience as a combination of excitement and nervousness as he finally lived his childhood dream."I was nervous, but not afraid, as I was confident of what I had learned."

The 31-year-old, who is now living his childhood dream of being a pilot, had joined AirAsia as an office boy in the year 2006. His determination and hard work coupled with a 'never give up' attitude is so inspirational that it moved even Tony Fernandes to tears.

Malaysian Man Caught Smuggling A Live Human Embryo In His Suitcase At Mumbai Airport

Durai admitted that this was not his first time smuggling embryos into the country

He claimed he had been transporting embryos to an IVF clinic in India 10 times in the past 18 months, Times of India reported.He would arrive with the package in the morning then leave on an evening flight. Durai added that he worked for a surrogacy agency based in Malaysia, that is run by an Indian man and his British wife.

Text messages between the clinic and agencies in Malaysia were reportedly found by authorities to back up Durai's claims

However, the clinic has since denied the allegations, saying that it was a set-up. Dr Goral Gandhi, an embryologist who runs the clinic, said that the embryos were not for them.

Frozen embryos can be stored for several years under certain conditions

According to Times of India, authorities believe that transferring embryos into the wombs of Indian surrogates is a much cheaper process in India.However, it is a requirement to have a legal permit from the Indian Council of Medical Research before transporting embryos into India.

The Special Committee on Pandemic Management has agreed to allow interstate travel and the reopening of tourism hotspots and islands once the country's fully vaccinated rate of adults reaches 90%

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the 90% target can be achieved in two to three weeks."I believe many are eager to return to their hometowns and see their families after so long.

Klang Oyen Shows Up At Polling Station To 'Vote' & Demands For Love

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

An orange cat has strolled into a polling station in Klang, Selangor, to perform its duty as a catizen to vote today, 19 November

As early as 8.30am, the oyen emerged at Kolej Vokasional Klang, without even an iota of whining, to cast its precious ballot.It was spotted at a classroom in the voting station, before walking out of there suavely but showed a rather confused face once it was at the exit.

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

"Why are they so many people at the school today?" the possibly first-time voter meowed to itself, unaware that the Klang constituency had 210,000 voters in the 2018 election

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Only speaking to Malaysians who smelled good, the oyen then sniffed at several individuals 20 times bigger than it and began demanding attention

Unfortunately, most electorates at the polling station deemed that it was too early for love and affection, thus, ignored the furred friend's advances.Crushed by rejections from fellow electorates, the oyen showed itself out shortly after.When this SAYS writer had cast his vote, he went to say hello and petted the cat, only to realise that it was already napping, possibly dreaming about cookies.

Image via SAYS

Below is a video of the oyen being petted:

Bookworms, get excited!
Japan's largest bookstore chain, Tsutaya Books, is opening its first-ever store in Malaysia soon. :D

According to BusinessToday, GOB Oriental Berhad along with Sojitz Corporation and Culture Convenience Club are working together to open the new outlet in Pavilion Bukit Jalil. Initially set to open in April, the store has since postponed the launch to Quarter 2.

Aside from books, Tsutaya is known as a multi-concept store with a cafe and art display, among other things

Image via @tsutayabooks_wakayama_civiclib (Instagram)

Its parent company, Culture Convenience Club, has established over 1,000 stores including its CD and DVD rental chain known as Tsutaya.As e-commerce sites entered the market over the years, many large bookstore chains have been on a steady decline. However, Tsutaya's founder Muneaki Masuda believes that for many customers, shopping is about the experience just as much as it is about the purchase.Wanting to keep that alive in this fast-paced world, Tsutaya Books offers a cosy, aesthetically-pleasing physical space where customers can escape, slow down, and enjoy life.

Indonesian BTS Army Organises Vaccination Programme For Over 10,000 People

The Indonesian BTS Army — the term used for the fanbase of K-pop boyband BTS — organised a COVID-19 vaccination programme for over 10,000 citizens

As reported by CNN Indonesia, the BTS Army in Indonesia — dubbed as 'Senyum Army' — held the vaccination programme on Saturday, 31 July, at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC). The vaccination programme was free for all Indonesians aged 12 and above, irrespective of their interest in BTS. They only had to produce their national identification cards or family identification cards to be vaccinated.The initiative made use of 10,000 Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine doses obtained from the Indonesian government.

Image via CNN Indonesia

CNN Indonesia quoted Senyum Army spokesperson, Selly Wilson, as saying the Army fully supports the vaccination effort by the Indonesian government

"We will help to make the vaccination drive be more accessible to all citizens so that all BTS Army alongside their families and friends can be protected during this pandemic," she said."We hope that the vaccination drive can quickly break the COVID-19 chain of spread so that we can all return to our normal activities."

Image via @SenyumArmy (Twitter)

Senyum Army had also installed an art show called 'Stay Gold is for the Vaccinated' at JCC, inspired by the BTS music video titled Stay Gold

This was set up so that those getting their COVID-19 vaccine may enjoy the art exhibition while getting their jabs.Not only that, Senyum Army had also played a full BTS concert video at the JCC Hall for everyone to enjoy while getting vaccinated.
