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

The body of a Malaysian, Wong Chong Kai, is believed to have been found in a rural area in New South Wales (NSW), Australia after more than a year of his disappearance

According to the country's news network 9news, the human remains were found at Killongbutta about 3.30pm (local time) on Sunday, 3 April.However, the body has yet to be formally identified. Forensic examination and DNA testing will be conducted, but the police believe that it belongs to Wong, also known as Jacky.The 24-year-old victim is believed to have been killed between 25 December 2020 and 8 January 2021.However, news.com.au reported that his family in Malaysia last spoke to him on 28 December 2020. He had been living in Sydney — about 244km east of where his body was allegedly found — since 2016.His family told the police that they believe Wong was working in NSW before his disappearance.

Wong came to Australia on a holiday visa, but in reality, he was working for a Southeast Asian crime syndicate, according to local media

"We know Jacky was working for a criminal enterprise involved in the cultivation of cannabis in regional NSW around the time of his alleged murder," said drug and firearms squad commander Detective Supt John Watson."The circumstances of his death are particularly gruesome." "These criminal groups are known for targeting young individuals with the promise of easy money, which often leads to them working in illegal grow houses on remote properties."Cannabis is a prohibited drug in NSW unless it is lawfully prescribed as a medicine.

The property was allegedly a cannabis cultivation farm.

The police alleged that the "gruesome" murder was probably due to a dispute over money with more senior members of the gang

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Wong was working as a cannabis crop sitter looking after between 500 and 1,000 plants.Three of Wong's alleged murderers — aged 33, 22, and 28 — were charged in connection with his death last month.Following that, police began searching a rural property in Killongbutta.On Monday, 4 April, the police released footage of the search, with officers seen digging and scraping through the dirt on a rural property.

Kenyataan "Penduduk Tak Perlu Pindah Kerana Rumah Boleh Tutup Pintu" Itu Fitnah - MB Johor

506 mangsa dirawat dan 43 sekolah ditutup, itulah kesan daripada pencemaran bahan kimia yang berlaku di Sungai Kim Kim di Pasir Gudang, Johor

Image via gpsbestari.com

Sejak Khamis lalu, 7 Mac 2019, penduduk di Pasir Gudang telah digemparkan dengan berita pencemaran bahan kimia di Sungai Kim Kim.

Selepas seminggu, Menteri Besar Johor, Datuk Osman Sapian memaklumkan bahawa keadaan kini terkawal dan tiada keperluan untuk mengisytiharkan darurat di kawasan berkenaan

Image via malaymail.com

Walau bagaimanapun, kerajaan negeri akan mengambil tindakan tegas terhadap pihak-pihak yang bertanggungjawab membuang bahan kimia ke sungai sehingga mengakibatkan berlakunya pencemaran sisa kimia yang menjejaskan alam sekitar dan penduduk setempat.

Image via kualalumpurviral.com

Namun tanpa disangka, telah tular pula kenyataan Datuk Osman yang mengatakan “tidak perlu pindah penduduk kerana rumah boleh ditutup pintu”, malah kenyataan ini turut menjadi tajuk berita

Beberapa portal berita tempatan didapati mengeluarkan laporan dan mengambil kesempatan menjadikan kenyataan itu sebagai tajuk berita mereka. Walaupun wawancara bersama Datuk Osman Sapian berlangsung selama lebih 30 minit semalam, kenyataan itu juga yang dipetik sebagai headline.

Salah satu contoh
Image via Facebook

Malah, sebuah portal berpengaruh turut melaporkannya dan artikel tersebut telah mendapat lebih daripada 4,200 shares dalam masa yang singkat di Facebook.

Image via Facebook

Datuk Osman Sapian dalam status terbaru di Facebook telah menegaskan bahawa kenyataan tersebut adalah tidak tepat dan tidak menggambarkan keseluruhan penjelasan mengenai situasi semasa

Image via Datuk Osman Sapian / Facebook

Beliau juga menganggap penularan ini ternyata berniat jahat, tidak lain dan tidak bukan bertujuan untuk memburukkan nama beliau.Selain itu, beliau turut menjelaskan lebih terperinci tentang situasi sebenar dan memberi sebab mengapa tiada keperluan untuk memindahkan penduduk buat masa sekarang.

Baca kenyataan penuh di bawah:

KENYATAAN MEDIAMerujuk kepada paparan petikan tajuk berita yang sedang ditularkan di media sosial kononnya Menteri Besar Johor mengeluarkan kenyataan “tidak perlu pindah penduduk kerana rumah boleh ditutup pintu”.Ingin ditegaskan bahawa kenyataan tersebut adalah tidak tepat dan tidak mengambarkan keseluruhan penjelasan mengenai situasi semasa dan keperluan memindahkan penduduk.Penilaian yang dibuat oleh Jawatankusa Pengurusan Bencana Negeri mendapati kawasan sekolah dikategorikan sebagai kawasan berisiko tinggi setelah mengambil kira struktur bangunan yang terbuka manakala orang awam yang tinggal di kawasan perumahan yang lebih tertutup dan terlindung pula paling kurang terdedah kepada risiko pencemaran.Rupabentuk struktur bangunan antara kegunaan awam seperti sekolah (tinggi dan terbuka) dengan rupabentuk premis peribadi seperti rumah menjadi faktor penting bagaimana kawalan boleh dilakukan dari merebaknya pencemaran.

Image via bharian.com.my

Justeru berdasarkan laporan serta nasihat daripada agensi yang mempunyai kepakaran dalam bidang ini, satu tindakan proaktif telah diambil serta pemantauan secara rapi, maka Jawatankuasa Bencana Negeri mendapati tiada keperluan untuk memindahkan penduduk memandangkan keadaan adalah terkawal. Namun demikian, langkah-langkah pencegahan dan keselamatan yang dikeluarkan oleh pihak berkuasa, hendaklah dipatuhi oleh orang ramai.Merujuk kepada paparan mengenai laporan kenyataan tersebut, secara jelas dan sememangnya tidak masuk akal malah penularan paparan ini ternyata berniat jahat, tidak lain dan tidak bukan bertujuan untuk memburukkan nama YAB Menteri Besar serta memberi gambaran yang salah mengenai kedudukan situasi ini.Pejabat Menteri Besar Johor14 Mac 2019

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

Miss Universe Malaysia 2017 Samantha Katie James has landed in controversy once again.
This time, she revealed that she is against wearing face masks in public amid a pandemic.

On Monday, 23 August, the beauty queen posted a photo of herself and her friend, who is a yoga instructor and a clinical hypnotherapist in training.In the caption, she mocked those who wear face masks and claimed that they were spreading "light and sovereignty" while going maskless.The photo garnered over 765 likes and comments on the post have been limited.

She said, "I will never wear that f*cking diaper on my face unless of course, I use it to be undercover around annoying people"

She also noted how she was attracted to a man who walked past her and took off his mask."I saw a guy walk [past] me pull his mask off and crunch it in his hand! That's my man, love you whoever you were, that was hot. Turn on!" she wrote.

Her post caught the attention of local media outlets and after the issue was reported by New Straits Times, James responded to netizens' backlash.She claimed that commenters were jealous of her and besides that, she wrote, "Keep reporting, I keep posting, post everywhere post in my private profile even. You think you can shut me up? Not anymore."

Image via @samanthakayty (Instagram)

Previously, she also took to Instagram to spread the idea that COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are a lie

Earlier in July, before her posts and Instagram Stories were taken down, she wrote, "If there's no PCR tests, there's no cases. Hence, there's no need for lockdowns. *ssholes f*cking with us."

Rosmah Says Looking Good Doesn't Have To Be Expensive

Known for her controversial and questionable shopping habits, Prime Minister Najib Razak's wife, Rosmah Mansor is constantly in the limelight.
Keeping up with that, Rosmah recently shed some light on the importance of first impressions.

"You ladies often accompany your husbands abroad and in this context, the challenge is not just your personal image but more importantly the image and reputation of the country," said Rosmah, as reported by Bernama, yesterday, 11 August.

"Self-image doesn't mean we wear expensive or branded clothes. But it's enough that we wear something that suits the event – neat, stylish, and proper," said Rosmah.

Image via Daily Mail UK

According to Rosmah, the wives of politician must always be dressed well as they carry the image of the country on their shoulders, especially when accompanying their husbands on official visits. She also made it a point to stress on the fact that the clothes do not have to be expensive but just appropriate for the occasions they attend. "When we wear something neat and exciting, it will give a different perception to the community as it makes for a good first impression," opined Rosmah.

Moving on from physical appearance, the prime minister's vocal wife also gave some advice on mastering the art of communication

Image via Lim Kok Wing

She said, to be well-versed in the subject, they had to improve on their self-confidence, read books, master the language and use the right intonations when speaking.Rosmah said this when speaking at the closing of the Knowledge and Personal Skill Development Course organised for the Welfare Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) at the National Institute of Public Administration here yesterday, 11 August. The four-day course served as a platform to impart knowledge to the wives of ministers and deputy ministers on the affairs of the government administrative machinery and national security.The course also aimed to increase the credibility of the group as leaders in women's activities, to understand reforms and changes in government policies and to be more effective Bakti members. Among topics shared during the course were palace protocol, social etiquette, personal grooming, choice of clothes, public speaking, effective communication and table manners.

        bernama.com

The Bakti president also spoke about how leaders' wives must develop the needed mental strength to deal with negative feedback and criticisms

She added that these women should also be smart in filtering information on social media."I hope, ladies, that you can not only sift through information on social media intelligently, but are also smart enough to differentiate between what is right, wrong, slander, and made-up stories."In our efforts to serve the community, I am of the view that we don't have to care about or think too much about negative comments, or slander hurled against us, especially from the opposition, on social media," she said.

Here's Why A Lot More Chinese Tourists Are Coming To Malaysia

Yup, you heard that right - more Chinese tourists are heading over to Malaysia...

Image via Giphy

... and if Johor Bahru is your home town, your city in particular will see a spike of Chinese tourists due to the launch of direct AirAsia flights from Guangzhou, every single day

Image via Telegraph

Why? Because the flights from Guangzhou will only be landing at Senai International Airport, Johor Bahru!

The first flight from Guangzhou to JB was on 30 May and happy passengers were greeted with a warm welcome

Datuk Tee Siew Kiong Johor State EXCO of Tourism, Trade and Consumer; Derick Basir, Chief Executive Officer of Senai Airport Terminal Services and Jackson Lee, Johor Bahru Station Head, AirAsia were present to greet the passengers.

The announcement comes only a month after AirAsia introduced direct daily flights from Hat Yai to Johor Bahru

Aireen Omar, CEO of AirAsia said, “We are very proud to receive yet another international inaugural flight into Johor Bahru, this time connecting the people of Guangzhou to experience the southern state of Johor. Just last month, we celebrated the arrival of flights from Hat Yai into Johor Bahru and we look forward to further strengthen our market share in our southern hub."

The tourism industry has yet to recover from the backlash of the MH370 tragedy two years ago. According to the director general of Tourism Malaysia, "We lost about 30% of Chinese tourists."

Image via RFA

“The China market has not recovered yet but the gap is closing back when compared to the bigger drop we saw six months ago. We lost about 30 percent of Chinese tourists since April 2014," said Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, the director general of Tourism Malaysia.

Since the government has waived the visa application fee for Chinese tourists in 2014, a total of 4 million tourists are expected to enter Malaysia this year, half of the 8 million target set for 2016

Image via Next Shark

The government has rolled out several measures to facilitate the visa application in order to attract more Chinese tourists to Malaysia. These measures include waiving visa fee and introducing electronic visa. Before this, Chinese tourists had to pay a fee of up to RM120 for a visa application, depending on the urgency of the application (applicants pay a higher fee for quicker processing)."Malaysia is aiming for 30.5 million tourist arrivals in 2016 and it feels confident this target can be achieved with even four million Chinese tourist arrivals, half of the eight million target it has set for China," said Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Aziz.

To date, AirAsia operates a total of 6 domestic routes, and 7 international routes into Senai International Airport, represented by three airlines – AirAsia, Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia

Image via Geret Koper

In celebration of the new route, the airline is offering a limited promotional all-in-fares from as low as RM179 one way, available for booking online from 30 May until 12 June 2016, for the travel period from 31 May to 24 November 2016

Head to the official AirAsia website here for more information. Alternatively, the promotional fares are also available on AirAsia’s mobile app on iPhone and Android devices.

KL Doctors Find Forceps Inside A New Mum's Abdomen After Complaints About Stomach Pain

Following a caesarean delivery (C-section) at a hospital in Kuala Lumpur, a woman started to experience symptoms such as nausea and severe pain in her stomach

The woman is a 29-year-old who had given birth on 9 January. Two days after she was released from the hospital, she began to notice a sharp pain in her left abdomen.The sensation was particularly heightened especially when moving or changing body positions. It also caused her to vomit frequently.When she informed the hospital of her condition, they assured that these are common side effects of a C-section.

Worried about her health, the woman then decided to get a second opinion.
To her surprise, doctors at a different hospital found that a pair of surgical artery forceps had been left behind inside her abdomen.

The discovery was made on 26 January, over two weeks since her C-section.

While still in recovery from her recent delivery, the new mother was forced to undergo another emergency surgery to remove the forceps.

Citing medical negligence, the victim decided to take legal action against the doctor and their team that performed the C-section on her

The mother was represented by lawyers Tisya Yunus and Aloysius Cornelius Susek. They told SAYS that although all medical practitioners are bound by their code of ethics and professionalism, human errors still occur and cases of medical negligence are fairly common in varying degrees."Nonetheless, human error does not excuse the negligence committed," they added.According to Tisya Yunus, in the end, the parties involved decided on a settlement outside of court.

SAYS has reached out to the hospital in question but they have yet to issue a statement.

Meanwhile, a circumcision recently caused serious complications to the privates of an eight-year-old boy:

"I Expect To Leave On Time" – 26YO M'sian Frustrated With Office's Toxic Stay-Back Culture

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

A 26-year-old Malaysian man recently made a confession on Reddit about his current company's toxic work culture

In his confession post, the man said that he had just started working at his new office.While he was happy with his salary, he noticed that the company had a toxic work culture in which those who stayed late for work were regarded as hard workers.He went on to say that he arrived at work every day earlier than his colleagues and completed his work on time."I'm the only person who comes in before 9am. So when I finish work for the day, I expect that I can go back on time," he said.

According to the man, his coworkers made subtle remarks and teased him for always leaving the office before anyone else

He had previously heard whispers about him behind his back but had ignored them until a 27-year-old colleague pulled him to the side."I'm not telling you what to do, but when I first started, I waited for the seniors to leave before going home," his coworker explained.His colleague's comments made him feel dissatisfied with his workplace because he did not see the point of staying late when he did not have any extra work to do."It is entirely different if there was some urgent work left undone. I wouldn't mind taking some time to finish it, but this is such a waste of time because I have other better things to do," he said.

Another user said he should only work for the hours he was being paid for.

Kelas mengaji Al Quran itu menjadi bualan ramai kerana meletakkan yuran kos sebanyak RM33,400. Kelas tersebut dikhabarkan mengenakan bayaran sebanyak RM2,000 sejam bagi setiap sesi tanpa meluncuri awan biru. Manakalanya, sekiranya anda ingin mengikuti kelas tilawah sambil terbang di udara anda perlu membayar sebanyak RM33,000 sejam.Kelas ini akan dikendalikan oleh johan qariah tilawah Al Quran yang terkemuka iaitu Sharifah Khasif Fadzillah Syed Badiuzzaman. Ia dianjurkan oleh syarikat pengurusan jet peribadi iaitu Elite Jets Sdn Bhd yang terletak di Shah Alam.

Setelah berita tersebut menjadi viral, Sharifah Khasif telah dihentam teruk oleh ramai netizen. Ramai yang beranggapan beliau seakan-akan menjual agamanya sendiri.
Kecewa dengan persepsi orang ramai, beliau akhirnya tampil dan menceritakan fakta sebenar mengenai perkara tersebut yang dikatakannya telah dimanipulasi:

Bayaran mengaji dalam jet mewah RM33400 sejam adalah tidak benar.Saya bukan penjual Agama.Saudara saudari yang dirahmati Allah,Fahami dulu apa yang dikatakan penjual agama. Saiyyid Qutb menyebut dalam Fi Zilalil Quran sebagai mengulas satu ayat dari surah Al'Araff iaitu orang alim tentang agama, yang mengetahui hakikat agama Allah kemudian memutarbelitkannya demi kepentingan dunia sehiingga tidak berani berkata yang benar malah mereka berpihak kepada perkara yang batil demi wang ringgit, pangkat darjat dan sebagainya malah menggunakan ilmunya untuk penyelewengan yang dikehendaki.Mengaji dalam private jet memang satu perkara yang baru. Ia juga satu pendekatan baru untuk mendekatkan kita dengan Al Quran spt Allah rakam dalam surah imran, iaitu mengingati Allah walau di mana saja sambil berdiri, duduk, dlm keadaan berbaring.

Katanya, beliau ditawarkan oleh pihak syarikat pengurusan jet peribadi tersebut untuk membimbing kelas Al-Quran secara percuma kepada mereka yang menggunakan khidmat Elite Jets Sdn Bhd

Saya telah ditawarkan oleh pihak Elite Jets Sdn Bhd untuk membimbing kelas al quran secara percuma kepada mereka yang menggunakan khidmat Elite Jets Sdn Bhd dalam memartabatkan Al Quran di mana saja berada. Memang tidak dinafikan, rata2 mereka yang menyewa terdiri daripada golongan vvip, kerabat dan usahawan yang berjaya dalam dan luar negara.Jumlah RM33400 sejam itu BUKAN bayaran pengajian tetapi itu adalah rate perjalanan untuk private jets yang memang dah standard ada di laman web Elite jets sdn bhd. Sebab tu saya kata, berapa ramai yang tahu tentang private jets. Kita terkejut bila dengar nilai jet tak tau lagi charge operating cost per hour yang mencecah usd5k utk kos minyak, permit, insurance dan maintainance cost. Jadi tawaran kelas adalah pilihan setiap penyewa jet itu sendiri samaada pengajian ketika fly atau adakan private class sesama mereka tanpa diterbangkan.

Sharifah berkata lagi supaya jangan membuat fitnah yang keterlaluan sehingga mengaibkan seseorang dengan benda yang tak betul

Saya hargai pandangan netizen dengan komen2 positif dan negatif. Tapi janganlah memfitnah keterlaluan sampai mengaibkan seseorang dengan benda yang tak betul. Masyarakat bebas bercakap apa yang mereka nak ckp, tapi saya enggan membalas kata kata mereka kerana saya tahu apa yang saya buat. Saya mengajar atas dasar ingin menyampaikan ilmu al quran dan minat yang mendalam tentang al quran. Bukan mudah untuk mempelajari Al Quran sebenarnya, sebab al quran adalah mukjizat dan tak boleh ambil sambil lewa tetapi perlu commitment yang tinggi. Saya yakin Allah akan bantu dalam urusan dakwah ini .InsyaAllah.Akhir sekali, apa yang nak saya katakan adalah ini minat saya. Al quran adalah hiburan saya. Dari dulu lagi saya katakan, saya tetap dengan prinsip saya. Biar melawan arus, jangan melanggar aqidah. Mohon maaf salah silap.Sharifah Khasif

Two Malaysian Men Pretending To Be Police Officers Cheated Women In Phone Scams

Two Malaysian men have been arrested for allegedly impersonating Chinese officials in phone scams, Singaporean Police Force (SPF) said in a press conference yesterday, June 5

Image via Justin Ong/Today

The 18- and 33-year-old were caught by the police who raided their place in Singapore on Monday and seized stacks of cash amounting to SGD590,000 (RM1.75 million). It is the largest amount of cash seized in scams this year. Among the items found included a banknote counter, a hard disk consisting of CCTV footage belonging to the accused, and two mobile phones, reported Today Online.

Earlier this month, the duo allegedly scammed two women of a total of SGD410,000 (RM1.2 million)

Image via Nevin Jacob

The women, aged 51 and 55, both received calls from scammers claiming to be Chinese police officials investigating a transnational money laundering crime. They told the women to withdraw all of their savings to help with their investigations.The 51-year-old woman then transferred SGD100,000 (RM299,000) while the second woman handed SGD310,000 (RM924,000) to an unknown man.According to the news report, the 18-year-old is a permanent resident who was waiting to further his studies there, while the 33-year-old man was in Singapore on a social visit.The two men also had an accomplice, 18-year-old Malaysian Chow Wai Chung, who was arrested on Saturday, 2 June. The Singaporean police are currently conducting further investigations to identify any other victims of the scam.

The two men, however, were not the first scammers to impersonate police officials this year

Last month, a 31-year-old Malaysian also allegedly cheated a woman out of SGD5.4 million (RM16 million). The woman was instructed to transfer all of her money to help with "police investigations".Earlier this week, a Taiwanese man who also impersonated a police officer was charged for cheating seven people out of roughly RM2.9 million. In another case in March, two Taiwanese men aged 24 and 25 were arrested for dishonestly handing and receiving hundreds of thousands of Singaporean dollars of victims to an international syndicate. The men were also reported to have pretended to be police officials.

Impersonation scams are becoming more frequent, the SPF said during the press conference

However, David Chew, director of the Singaporean police's Commercial Affairs Department noted that such scams are "very preventable".The police advised the public to ignore calls claiming to be a foreign government official demanding for money, as it is most likely a scam. The public are also reminded to refrain from giving out personal information and bank details either on websites or over the phone.

Speaking of scams, beware of these other methods that were previously used on victims:

Photos and videos online showing an overturned trailer carrying sardine cans in Perak have caught the attention of netizens, prompting them to leave lighthearted comments about the accident

According to New Straits Times, the accident took place at KM265.9 of the North-South Expressway (southbound) in Kuala Kangsar, causing traffic congestion that stretched as far as 5km.Kuala Kangsar district police chief ACP Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob shared that the trailer was said to have lost control and overturned at 1pm yesterday, 3 August."Thousands of sardine cans were scattered along the stretch, which was then closed for all vehicles," he told New Straits Times."Road users from the north were diverted to the Kuala Kangsar Toll Plaza for cleaning work to be carried out."Astro Awani reported that the Fire and Rescue Department in Perak did not carry out a rescue operation at the scene as the incident did not involve any victims.

Meanwhile, a 44-second video showing sardine paste splattered over the stretch of the highway has gone viral on Twitter and Facebook

Based on the video, the long stretch of road was covered in red paste, which is believed to be caused by motorcycles and cars running over the cans or the impact caused by the crash.Many comments found under the video wished the trailer driver was unharmed.

Some netizens said that the sardine cans are of Ayam Brand, with several Facebook users noting that they are expensive. Two netizens even suggested road users take some of the cans home as it would help clear the road.

Many netizens also encouraged road users to pick up the sardine cans as they can be used to feed cats at home. One person added in jest that the smell of sardines was so strong that it could attract a village of cats to come to the scene.

One Twitter user joked that the accident is the perfect analogy of the Bahasa Melayu saying 'packed like sardines'

"When I said 'trafik jem macam sardin', this is what I meant," read the tweet.

On Facebook, several individuals shared photos of road users carrying boxes of sardine cans away from the scene.

5 Myths About Apple Computers You Should Stop Believing

1. Macs don't get any viruses or malware. This is probably the most popular myth as it is perceived that Macs don’t get viruses while PCs do. It's sadly false!

Image via MacWorld

As even Apple itself has now grudgingly admitted, Apple’s Macs can indeed be infected with trojans, viruses and other malware. Agreed, such infection is less likely than with Windows based machines, and likely to be less dangerous when it does happen, but the Mac OS is not immune from corruption, just safer from it.

        forbes.com

Image via Techehow

In quick succession, two new serious vulnerabilities in OS X have introduced Mac malware back into the conversation.One exploits a weakness first confirmed in mid-July this year, which allows a malicious program that gains access to a Mac to run as though it is the administrator of the computer – a vulnerability known as “privilege escalation”. In doing so, it can bypass a lot of Apple’s security features, which rely on appropriately limiting the ability of downloaded code from affecting the deeper functions of the operating system.

        theguardian.com

2. Macs do not crash. Apple calls it KP (Kernel Panic), which is just an elegant way of saying that your Mac crashed.

Image via Screenshot

A kernel panic is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover. The term is largely specific to Unix and Unix-like systems; for Microsoft Windows operating systems the equivalent term is "stop error" (or, colloquially, "Blue Screen of Death").

The most common cause is a hardware failure  - either the Mac itself, or an external device or application. Some of these problems are only temporary and will disappear after a reboot, as we have already mentioned. Others are more complicated, and will stop you using your computer.Badly-written drivers or plugins could cause a KP or even the random presence of specific conditions. In these cases, the Mac should work properly again after the reboot.Kernel...

3. People in the arts and media industry should use a Mac. It’s no secret that it has been labeled the “designer” machine, but does it really deliver?

Image via Wellandgood

PC developers are continually in competition with Mac and as a result their designs are also easy to use, such as Windows XP and Windows Vista. They have developed their own work-flow style that may not be as minimal as the Mac, but is still friendly and usable. Ultimately, choosing between Mac and PC (check out Lazada Coupons for discounted prices for laptops) is a personal choice for the designer. Usually, design schools have both PC and Macs available so students can learn how to design on both machines. Although, the majority of the big shot design companies work on Macs. But there are companies that also use PCs or offer the designer the option to choose. My advice is to be able to work on both Mac and PC, as well as know the pros and cons of each computer.

        monster.com

Macs have been a standard for years for graphic designers (font management, color accuracy) and filmmakers (Final Cut, Apple's own software, is an industry standard), but for 3D work such as rendering, Windows machines have been the platform of choice. Now that Macs and Windows machines share Intel and Nvidia processors, the differences are disappearing under the hood, and it's all a matter of preference.

        laptopmag.com

4. Macs have no problems with gaming. Due in part to the vast Windows market share and a developer-wide adoption of Microsoft's DirectX graphics, it is actually very hard to find games that are compatible with Macs, at least for the time being.

Image via PCGamer

The reason gamers like to talk about OpenGL versus DirectX is because content IS king. Let’s face it, hardcore computer gamers shy away from Macs because there are more games available for PC, and only PC. This lack of universality forces Mac owners to run PC virtual machines and emulation software’s just to play incompatible games.

        gameagent.com

What is Direct X? DirectX is the name Microsoft uses to describe a whole slew of application programming interfaces (API) it uses for multimedia and video applications. Chief among these are games for which without DirectX, the Windows platform simply would not dominate in gaming as it does.

        howtogeek.com

5. Macs have good battery life. Unfortunately problems with Mac batteries do arise, including not lasting as long as it once did on a full charge, or switching itself off seemingly randomly, especially if you've upgraded to El Capitan.

Image via Youtube

One very common OS X El Capitan problem is bad battery life right after the upgrade. If you are experiencing bad battery life during the first day after upgrading the computer may simply be using Spotlight to index files, which uses more power. For example, a 13-inch Macbook could get between 8-9 hours on Mavericks, but only around 5-6 in El Capitain.

Image via Prezi

With most of the aluminium “unibody” MacBook range, including the MacBook Pro, Apple dropped the ability for users to be able to replace the battery. Doing so is still possible although involves removing the bottom panel of the MacBook, then unscrewing the battery fixings and detaching a cable from the motherboard. For anybody who’s ever delved inside a PC this isn’t difficult but it’s not a task for beginners, and will probably require a specialist pentalobe or twi-wing screwdriver, depending on the model of MacBook.

M'sian Para-Athlete In Disbelief After He's Stopped From Boarding Plane Without Companion

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

A national para-athlete has alleged that he was discriminated against by an airline manager from Qatar Airways while checking in for a flight back to Malaysia from Cairo, Egypt

Sharing his experience on Twitter, Daniel Lee wrote that a Qatar Airways manager had not allowed him to board the plane because he was a person with disability (PWD) who had requested an inflight cabin wheelchair while travelling alone.According to Lee, the manager said it was an airline policy that any PWD who requires an inflight cabin wheelchair must have a travel companion.However, as a fully independent wheelchair user who had travelled alone to a sports conference in Egypt, Lee said it was absurd that they would not allow him to board because they said it "may not be safe" for him without a companion.

Image via @pushtoinspire (Instagram)

Lee, who had represented Malaysia in the 2013 Asian Youth Para Games in wheelchair racing, detailed that, besides the discriminatory policy, the manager himself was dismissive towards him

Speaking to SAYS, Lee explained that he has osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as brittle bone disease. Although he can walk, he might fracture his legs while doing so, which is why he still prefers to use an inflight cabin wheelchair when moving around onboard.Even without a travel companion, Lee said he could also manoeuvre a cabin wheelchair on his own if he needed to use the lavatory.However, despite explaining all this to the manager, he was still not allowed onboard without a companion."Then, when I asked if I could forgo the wheelchair, because I just wanted to go home, the manager asked if I could walk and gestured weirdly to my legs," recounted Lee.This was met with more exasperation from the para-athlete, as the manager said he would still not be allowed to board the plane without a travel companion, because, now, he was unable to ambulate independently."I asked the manager that, given these policies, does this mean all PWDs have no right to travel alone?" Lee wrote."The manager retorted, 'Not all disabilities! Someone who is deaf can.'"

Ultimately, Lee said he was allowed on the flight after the manager held a conference call, even though the management was initially still "undecided" if he could get onboard

"The Qatar Airways manager repeated at least three times that he has denied passengers onboard before. And, after a while, I thought that I'd just say 'Yes, I can walk,' so that they would allow me onboard. I felt like I needed to say whatever I could in order to board my flight," Lee shared.The 31-year-old said he felt humiliated and disrespected as he finally boarded the flight home. However, he hopes that his experience will raise an issue about safety policies that are actually discriminatory toward PWDs."A lot of assumptions are made about what a PWD can or cannot do. Even after I clarified that I am perfectly capable of caring for myself, even if the cabin crew weren't allowed to assist me, I could have used the cabin wheelchair on my own," he said."I have always used cabin wheelchairs during flights and flown alone 95% of the time for almost 10 years. Mostly with Qatar at that. I'm super disappointed."Lee told SAYS that he has yet to make a formal complaint, but Qatar Airways has yet to respond to his social media posts.

Read Lee's full story here:

It started with a simple question of “Can you walk on your own?”. A @qatarairways manager in Cairo airport then said their policy states that a PWD who needs inflight cabin wheelchair MUST have a travel companion. (1/14)— Daniel Lee (@pushtoinspire) October 7, 2022


The Sarawakian Doctor Who Would Rather Save Lives With Her App

Michelle Teo is leaving her job as a doctor to become an app developer. Why?

She saw so many human lives lost because of the sole dependency on paper records, breakdown in communications among medical staff, and also insufficient use of IT in the medical world, be it in the UK or elsewhere around the world.

        thestar.com.my

“I have a lot of ideas about how to reduce human errors, because I feel in hospitals we’re still in the 1970s in terms of the implementation of technology,” said Dr Michelle.

        theborneopost.com

“I first introduced myself as a doctor,” she laughs, “and everyone was like ‘what are you doing here?’”

        startupweekend.org

She will to relocate to London and take charge of development of the software full time at Google Campus, an office space in Shoreditch owned by the web search giant.

        telegraph.co.uk

Why build an app for doctors and hospital staff?

Globally, over the past 48 hours more than 1000 people have died from HOSPITAL ERRORS.

This Sarawakian Doctor Would Rather Build An App That Saves Lives

She noticed that many aspects of patient care were left vulnerable to human error, and that the standard practice of writing everything on handover sheets was inefficient and impractical.

        thestar.com.my

Michelle’s original idea for SmartWard was to integrate all patient information into one access point. However, due the time constrains of Startup Weekend, Michelle and her team chose to focus on one of the main culprits of information transfer errors in hospitals, the handover sheet.

        e27.co

How the SmartWard app works

“The SmartWard software is designed to store and retrieve patient records with ease – alerting doctors of patient’s allergy, wrong medicine dosages, dangerous drug combinations, and allows interaction from general practitioners,” she said.

        theborneopost.com

Through SmartWard, doctors and nurses can allocate tasks to each other with the option of adding deadlines for time-sensitive tasks.

£50,000 (approx. RM235,000) and several awards won by Michelle's app

The software was designed and built over a weekend by a small team of technology experts, and it aims to reduce human error in hospitals by introducing a streamlined, paperless solution to patient care.

        telegraph.co.uk

SmartWard, the winner of a Telegraph competition for innovative mobile apps, has been awarded £50,000 by Seedcamp, a leading technology venture capital fund.

        telegraph.co.uk

After winning the event, SmartWard then captured an impressive third place finish at the Global Startup Battle 2012, a competition including the best winning startups from local Startup Weekend competitions around the world.

        startupweekend.org

It was built over a weekend. How good is it?

“I want to build a product that is so good it would be ethically wrong not to use it,” she underlined.

        thestar.com.my

“SmartWardApp has the potential to revolutionise patient care in hospitals,” said Edward Roussel, Telegraph Media Group’s executive editor, digital.

        telegraph.co.uk

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who visited the teams during the competition, said initiatives such as the Startup Weekend could help “rebalance” the economy towards technology

        telegraph.co.uk

The judges were impressed by a convincing product with real benefits to both medical practitioners and patients. We were also impressed by the efforts the team put in to create an app over the weekend that would help do away with paperwork and reduce the workload for busy doctors.

        telegraph.co.uk

The product is beginning a trial in an NHS hospital, which will be critical to prove their concept.

British Woman Who Rated Airline Nasi Lemak 0/10 Apologised And Said She "Meant No Offence"

Angry netizens flooded a British woman's social media account after she called nasi lemak a "wickedly bad meal"

On 15 January, Twitter user @KatieMorley_ wrote, "In the name of public interest, am sharing this wickedly bad meal British Airways treated me to during a [13-hour] flight.""Behold: Chicken curry served with anaemic boiled egg, topped with smelly, slimy anchovies. Quite like plane food usually, and this was  0/10."

Image via Twitter @Katie_Morley

The tweet prompted Malaysians and nasi lemak lovers to band together and defend the dish.

The woman has since apologised and said that she meant no offence

She wrote, "Many Malaysians have got in touch to say the meal I tweeted about yesterday is a popular national dish. I'd not come across it before and meant no offence. As many have pointed out, I was clearly served a very poor version by [British Airways].""Sure it can be lovely and hope to try the real thing one day!" she added.

Image via Twitter @KatieMorley_

Malaysians are now inviting her to come to Malaysia and try out a proper plate of nasi lemak

Image via Lucy Y/Yelp

One person replied to her saying, "No worries. If you come to KL, have a go at Village Park in Damansara Utama for their nasi lemak. It is one of the best in KL."

Image via Twitter @iqmalhisham

"You're welcome to come to Malaysia and try the real nasi lemak and you would definitely not regret it. You will probably even get hooked on it. Those people in British Airways really messed it up and did you wrong. Shame on them and sorry for the bad experience," wrote another netizen.

Image via Twitter @theredpandasays

A Twitter user wrote, "Hopefully you can come visit Malaysia to try the real and original version of nasi lemak.""When it comes to food, Malaysians will unite and when someone talks bad about our food heritage, we cannot sit silently. My apologies on behalf of the Malaysians who threw bad words at you."

When the woman criticised the in-flight nasi lemak, all hell broke lose:

                British Woman Called Nasi Lemak A "Wickedly Bad Meal" And All Hell Broke Loose

Singapore ranked sixth globally, scored 84 while Brunei placed 32nd with a score of 62.The CPI ranks countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, according to experts and business people.

TI Malaysia president Dato’ Akhbar Haji Satar said that Malaysia's ranking should serve as a wake-up call to the government

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Akhbar said today, “Malaysia is on par with Cuba, Romania and just behind Saudi Arabia in terms of our ranking. The main driving issues behind the poor showing are perceived impunity by those believed to be engaged in large-scale graft."It is very sad that a whistleblower always gets arrested and punished here when most of the other countries have tried to enact whistle-blowing laws to protect the country."This is a crucial area that should be relooked if we are serious in fighting corruption," Akhbar added.Besides that, Transparency International Malaysia also highlighted other issues such as thefts of public funds are left unpunished, unresolved cases of 1MDB, FGV scandal, the absence of political financing law and corporate liability provisions in the anti-graft laws.

Top 11 Questions People Are Too Shy To Ask Extroverts (But Are Dying To Know)

11. "Do you talk to yourself when you're alone?"

You mean you don't talk to yourself when you're alone? Extroverts are drained by too much time alone. They need human interaction to recharge. When they're alone, they like being alone. Just not for too long. Else they might start talking to themselves.

Image via Tumblr

10. "Is your dad or mum the extroverted one?"

An extrovert doesn't have to have extroverted parents. They can be raised by introverted parents or even ambiverts, exhibiting the characteristics of both personality types.

Image via Imgur

9. "Were you like this in school too?"

Extroverts learn best when they’re talking and interacting. They’re the kids who are often poking their neighbors, whispering to other kids, or calling out the answer. Introverts learn by watching and reflecting.

Image via Tumblr

8. "Do you ever get tired listening to your own voice?"

Maybe, if it's a one-way conversation. An extrovert will usually try to keep the conversation going.

Image via Tumblr

7. "What do you mean you can't be alone?"

An extroverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. They tend to be energised when around other people, while introverts are energised when being alone.

Image via Gifrific

6. "Shouldn't you be avoiding sweets and chocolates?"

Rule #1: Hyperactivity should not be confused with extroversion!

Image via Photobucket

5. "How often do you go clubbing?"

In the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience published in June 2013, the study found that extroverts are more likely to associate the rush of the feel-good brain chemical dopamine with the environment they are in at the time, and research has already found that extroverts opt for instant gratification and focus more on the faces of others than introverts. Invite them to a party or a club and they'll know just what to do and enjoy themselves best they can. Invite them every Saturday of the month, and they might tell you unashamedly that they'd rather be somewhere else.

Image via Tumblr

4. "Do quiet people annoy you?"

Extroverts often think best when they are talking and are energised when people are there to listen. Their motivation to continue their conversation peaks when people lend attention toward them. If your friend is an extrovert, acknowledge them with gestures and body language.

Image via Cheezburger/GIPHY

3. "You're so... intense."

That wasn't a question and it isn't such a bad thing to be intense.

Image via GIF Section

2. "Why must you always be the center of attention? Why can't you just... sleep?"

Extroverts seem accessible and often are noticed because of their ease with others and obvious pleasure in conversing and interacting with others. They are more likely to enjoy being in the public eye, and gravitate toward activities that promote interaction or that cater to larger groups of people.
