2. Many compare it to Amazon, but Alibaba isn't just that—it's also the Dropbox, PayPal, Uber, and more. In fact, its distinct businesses resemble over a dozen major Western companies.

3. But what exactly is Alibaba?

Alibaba and its founder Jack Ma have a storybook tale. The company grew out of his small apartment in Hangzhou back in 1999 into a multi-billion dollar company today. Alibaba is China’s – and by some measures, the world’s biggest online e-commerce company. Its three main sites – Taobao, Tmall and Alibaba.com – have hundreds of millions of users and host millions of merchants and businesses. Alibaba handles more business than any other e-commerce company. It makes money through online marketing, transaction fees it receives from merchants and membership fees.

4. Tell me about its IPO. How big is it?

It’s set to be the biggest US IPO of all time by a significant margin

There are spectacular amounts of money involved. At its offering price of $68, and based on yesterday’s closing prices, the company’s market value would the 22nd biggest in the S&P 500 if included, ahead of Citigroup. The company’s underwriters are likely to exercise the greenshoe option, which could boost the deal value above $25 billion and make it the biggest of all time. In fact, Alibaba is expected to easily pass Bank of America, Intel, Oracle, and Coca-Cola in market value:

5. Who are the top shareholders? Are they selling their shares?

Japan’s Softbank owns 34% of Alibaba. The company has said it doesn’t plan to sell any shares, but after the IPO, its stake will be diluted to 32.4%. Yahoo, which owns 22.4%, said it plans to sell 121.7 million shares, equivalent to a 4.9% stake. Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who owns 8.8%, will be offering 12.7 million shares, or 0.5% in the offering. Joseph Tsai, executive vice chairman, will be selling 4.3 million shares, equivalent to a 0.2% stake.

6. What is Alibaba's market capitalisation ranks among the world's biggest companies?

Alibaba will be the 36th-largest publicly traded company in the world by market capitalization, according to S&P Capital IQ. Of the companies ranked above it, six are from Asia and four of those are based in China. There are also six European companies with bigger market capitalizations and one from Australia. While it will not be included in the S&P 500, at $168 billion, Alibaba would be the 23rd largest company in the index, according to S&P Capital IQ. There are currently 22 companies in S&P 500 with market caps above $170 billion.

        wsj.com

It would be the eighth largest tech company in the S&P 500, trailing only Apple Inc., Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., Facebook Inc, International Business Machines Corp., Oracle Corp. and Intel Corp., according S&P Capital IQ. Alibaba is far ahead of any other company that has gone public in terms of market cap. The next largest was the China Agricultural Bank Ltd., which was valued at $133 billion after its July 2010 IPO, according to Dealogic.

        wsj.com

Alibaba’s offering also knocks Facebook down one notch on the list of the biggest IPOs. The social-media giant’s IPO now stands as the fifth largest world-wide by market cap, and the second largest U.S.-listed IPO by market cap. Facebook’s offering, which was valued at $104 billion at the time of its IPO, remains the biggest by a U.S. company. Alibaba dwarfs all other IPOs of Chinese companies. The next largest IPO of a Chinese company, PetroChina Ltd., raised $2.9 billion and valued the company at $28.9 billion, according to Dealogic.

7. What's so great about Alibaba anyway?

The giant Chinese e-retailer has a reputation for fostering talented women. Lucy Peng and Maggie Wu are stellar examples.

It has a business model similar to eBay in that it acts as a middleman between buyers and sellers. Alibaba has also successfully gone where Amazon and eBay have yet to break through: business-to-business products. Alibaba’s online sales platform lets businesses – big and small – to order supplies, from vanilla copy paper and pencils to more elaborate custom-built car engines and parts. The Chinese retailer has a standout track record for developing talented women in its top ranks. A third of Alibaba’s 18 co-founders are women, and two top females, Lucy Peng and Maggie Wu, are the duo responsible for the company’s IPO behind the scenes.

Why Your Facebook Was Down For 20 Minutes On 19 June

When Facebook goes down, the whole world knows

Image via SAYS.com

Facebook users suffering social networking withdrawal can breathe a sign of relief and get back to liking their friends’ baby photos now. It’s never great for a major site to suffer a major outage — but Facebook can take comfort from the global outcry caused by a few minutes of downtime.

        techcrunch.com

Earlier today, Facebook was suffering a major global outage, with the site being inaccessible on web and mobile, with its social plug-ins on other sites also acting up

Image via kinja-img.com

Facebook users were met with a notice that read, "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can". A SAYS tweet of the same was RTed over 100 times within minutes.

Image via SAYS.com

The short shutdown drew attention across the web with many taking to Twitter to ask what all the fuss was about

Image via SAYS.com

Image via SAYS.com

Image via SAYS.com

Soon Twitter was flooded with posts by users complaining that the world was ending. It was not clear whether these people were being serious or there was merely an entire social network making the same joke.

        independent.co.uk

In the midst of the 'chaos', SAYS asked its Twitter followers about the lives they lead without Facebook. Here are some of the best responses:

After the site was back up, Facebook apologised for the global outage but did not say what caused it. It released a statement via its spokesperson to media:

"Earlier this morning, we experienced an issue that prevented people from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time. We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100%. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused."

        cnet.com

Meanwhile, this was not the first time Facebook went down

Facebook went down in the US for some in February of this year. It previously went down for four hours in October, with network maintenance blamed for the freeze. It went down before that in August 2012. In the movie about Facebook, 'The Social Network', founder Mark Zuckerberg was famously quoted saying Facebook would never go down.

How A Malaysian Initiative Is Giving The Disabled A Chance At Scuba Diving

Have you ever wondered if a disabled person can try out water activities?

Image via TED

Boats and beaches are generally not very disabled-friendly, especially for the ones who are wheelchair-bound.Thus, many who have special needs are unfortunately denied the fun and unique experience of water activities as it can be a challenging task, especially without relevant equipment and help.It's even more difficult for scuba diving activities, as the divers need to be strapped with heavy tanks and gears.

So, what does it take for a person with special needs to enjoy the experience of sea activities?
The answer is quite simple: Join the Marine Discovery Dive event.

Image via Our Better World

In comes the revolutionary Marine Discovery Dive, an international event organised by Malaysians and held at different states every year.  The event aims to offer people with special needs to experience the freedom of movement underwater through the scuba diving expedition.The annual event, now in its fifth year, was initiated by E.K. Lim, the chairman of Malaysia's Society of People Support People, a humanitarian organisation that strives to help underprivileged people.

"It's about showing the community of people with disabilities that they can be empowered and break through their own limitations."

Image via Our Better World

According to Our Better World, a digital storytelling initiative of the Singapore International Foundation (SIF), the event is about bringing together both able-bodied and people with disabilities, for them to learn and support each other. The Marine Discovery Dive event has received a great deal of positive reception since it was first started in 2011. It even made it into the Malaysia Book of Records in 2014 for the most number of participants (29 individuals) with a disability in a scuba diving expedition.

A video produced by Our Better World, revealed how past participants have come forward to share about how their hesitations and fear of being underwater were diminished over time, thanks to persistence and courage

Image via Our Better World

Sharon Lim, one of the divers, was initially very scared she was the only one that cannot stand in the water."Three metres only. Everyone can stand, but I cannot," she explained.The miracle came in the form of the instructor who cheered her on and kept encouraging her to overcome her fears."My instructor told me: 'Do you know, Sharon, everyone in the sea, actually is the same? We are all the same because we cannot stand."

"The good thing is, when you are underwater, the sea does not discriminate," said Ras Adiba Radz, a newscaster for local television network NTV7.

Image via Our Better World

The prominent figure in the Malaysian media industry, too shared her experience of diving in the video by Our Better World."When I told my disabled friends about my scuba diving experience, they just gawked," revealed Ras Adiba, adding that she saw many 'Nemos' when diving."The marine life doesn't care whether you have limbs or whether you are a paraplegic or tetraplegic. They don't care whether you can speak or not, because you use sign language underwater anyway.""I always tell my friends, 'Oh, the sky is the limit' but when I went underwater, I was like, 'Hey, the sea is the limit!'."

To ensure that all participants and volunteers are well prepared for the expedition, everyone will have to go through a series of training

The Marine Discovery Dive works as a complete package, as they even provide a series of training to ensure that all participants and volunteers are well prepared for the expedition. They are required to go through three sessions of swimming classes that will be held within the span of two months, with four classes for each session.This year, the Marine Discovery Dive 2016 will be held at Mabul Island, Sabah for four days, from 28 July to 1 August. The event organisers are currently looking for volunteers (the event welcomes both divers and non-divers) and participants with disabilities from around the world.

Former Buzzfeed Employee Tells Shopee He'll Send Them An Invoice For Stealing His Comic

New York-based illustrator Adam Ellis has created quite a stir on Twitter after calling out Shopee Malaysia for stealing his comic

On Thursday, 12 December, the former Buzzfeed employee tweeted a screenshot of his comic which was allegedly edited and posted by Shopee without any credit."When are brands gonna realise that 'memes' aren't free clip art for them to use in advertisements?" he wrote. Here is his original comic:

         View this post on Instagram           I made this comic exactly a year ago and it immediately became a meme. But I think people forget the original version is worse than any parody. A post shared by  Adam Ellis (@adamtots) on Jan 11, 2019 at 10:20am PST

And this is what it was edited into:

Image via Twitter @moby_dickhead

The cartoonist, who is famous for his relatable webcomics, had illustrated a comic of a woman looking at her phone and tearing up over a gay relationship between Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna.However, the e-commerce site had edited 'Shopee Midnight Madness 12.12' onto his original illustration."Anyway @ShopeeMY, lemme know where to send an invoice," Ellis commented in a following tweet.

The tweet has since been retweeted over 2,000 times, as several netizens sided with the artist

That’s not even a meme. It’s straight up stolen artistry.Which is to say: even worse.— salt, fat, salt, fat (@TrulyChes) December 11, 2019

If they can pay Christiano Ronaldo, they can pay you.— Daniel Yahya (@danielyahya1978) December 12, 2019

they better pay you that good $$ for stealing that— BiShreksual (@lizc2319) December 11, 2019

@ShopeeMY tak malu ke curi seni orang?— jillen  (@senobralloc) December 12, 2019

SAYS reached out to Shopee for comment and here is their response

"We greatly respect the hard work by artists, and appreciate the value of the artwork. We have reached out to Mr Adam Ellis to make this right," a Shopee spokesperson said in a statement to SAYS.


This Childhood Doraemon Soft Toy Got A Complete Makeover And People's Hearts Are Melting

Japanese people seem to have a soft spot for children's toys, as yet another Twitter user proves

On 30 December, Twitter user @Ydon9 shared a sweet story of how they found an old Doraemon soft toy they've owned from their childhood days.

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

"Doraemon, who was with me from the time of birth, finally got dying and despaired," read the tweet.

It was clearly a very well-loved toy, because Doraemon's entire face was completely gone:

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

Apart from its face, even its tail had dropped off somewhere.

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

But Doraemon was about to undergo a complete transformation, as its owner shipped it off to a friend!
First, the friend gave Doraemon a well-deserved bath:

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

Then it was time for restoration, à la 'Toy Story':

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

With the power of friendship and mad sewing skills, Doraemon came out looking like a whole new toy:

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

The owner's friend even sewed on a new tail for it!

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

If that wasn't cute enough, the friend even wrote a short note that was attached with Doraemon for his homecoming

Image via Twitter @Ydon9

The note had a little Doraemon doodle saying, "Tadaima! (I'm home!)"

Although it seemed like an ordinary story, many netizens were touched by the care and detail that went in to restoring Doraemon

Image via Twitter @satoru_rt

"Thank you for the tweets. A few tears came out," said Twitter user @satoru_rt.

Image via Twitter @paretinyneko

Another user said, "The heart that cherishes things, the New Year warmed up quickly."

Image via Twitter @Hinano_808

"Tears came out! Okaerinasai (welcome back)!" another user wished.

Hopefully Doraemon will get a companion next?

Ophthalmologist Dr Muhaya Deletes Misogynistic Video After Facing Backlash Online

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

Datuk Professor Dr Muhaya Mohamad has deleted a video of her advising women that they should "act dumb" in order to find a spouse after receiving backlash on social media

Malay Mail reported yesterday, 9 June, that the eye specialist and motivational speaker deleted the controversial video titled 'Why Women Are Slow To Get Married?'Muhaya — who often uploads videos related to medical and religious advice — said, "Women should appreciate men for their strength. They are the leaders.""Don't try too hard to liberate and compete with men. If you are busy trying to do what men do, your testosterone levels will increase and women who are not married will find it difficult to find a husband," she said in the now deleted 56-second long video.She said that women with high testosterone levels are goal-driven and who want to achieve independence will most likely have a tough time attracting a male suitor."Men like women who are gentle, high in oestrogen, expecting, and need help, women who act dumb. That's fine," she added.The doctor ended the video — which its reshared version has 1.5 million views on Twitter — by saying, "Women who are slow to get married, pay attention to what kind of character you have."

Image via Twitter

Muhaya's video also implied the belief that women should celebrate male leadership and strength according to religious views

She made comments in the video highlighting that no matter how successful women are professionally, when it comes to religion, women are placed behind their male counterparts."All imams are men, prophets were also men," she explained her view."Let's say in the office you have a general worker who's male and a female CEO, when you're praying, the man is still leading you no matter what."

Image via Prof Dr Muhaya (Facebook)

After the publication of the controversial video, netizens took to social media to share their disagreement towards Muhaya's remarks

Many women expressed their outrage online, saying they would never degrade themselves for the sake of men.

Image via Twitter

Some men were also ready to rebut the motivational speaker's misogynistic views.

Image via Twitter

London-based Malaysian Dr Amalina Bakri also gave her views on the video.

Lelaki Ini Kongsi Debaran Berdepan Dengan Situasi Memandikan Jenazah Tukar Jantina

Isu lesbian, gay, biseksual dan transgender (LGBT) kini sedang berleluasa dan sering dibincangkan oleh pelbagai pihak. Ada yang bersetuju, ada yang tidak bersetuju dari pelbagai pandangan yang berbeza.

Ada juga pihak yang menyuarakan bahawa golongan LGBT perlu menghormati hak dan sensitiviti golongan majoriti di Malaysia. Sebagai contoh, isu penggunaan tandas yang kini sedang hangat dibincangkan.Sebagai manusia, seharusnya anda bertindak mengikut apa yang telah ditetapkan. Ramai yang juga telah menyuarakan kekecewaan berkenaan isu tersebut.

Image via Utusan Online

Selain itu, posting seorang lelaki iaitu Syed Sohlel tentang perkongsian pengalaman lelaki memandikan jenazah yang sudah bertukar jantina telah mendapat perhatian masyarakat di laman Facebook.Terkedu bila baca posting penuh ini:

Salah satu daripada pengalaman yang begitu mendebarkan ketika diri sendiri melalui pengalaman menguruskan jenazah seperti ini

Terpanggil dihati saya untuk berkongsi satu pengalaman sepanjang menguruskan jenazah. Mohon ampun dan maaf bukanlah niat untuk mengaibkan sesiapa malah lebih kepada iktibar dan pengajaran buat kita yang masih hidup agar tidak melakukan dosa dan sesuatu yg dilarang ALLAH kerana balasannya ALLAH bayar tunai tika di dunia lagi. Nauzubillah...Berlaku di sebuah hospital, saya disambut oleh waris arwah iaitu ibunya yang ingin menyampaikan sesuatu kepada saya. Ada sedikit debaran dihati saya namun demi tugas saya perlu laksanakan tanggungjawab ini hingga selesai.Menurut ibu arwah, jenazah anaknya telah menukar jantina dari lelaki kepada perempuan.

Persoalannya, siapa yang patut uruskan jenazah seorang lelaki atau perempuan muslim yang telah menjalani pembedahan penukaran jantina?

InsyaAllah sebelum saya cerita kisahnya, saya akan bagi sedikit penjelasan, bagaimana menguruskan jenazah seorang lelaki atau perempuan muslim yang telah menjalani pembedahan penukaran jantina, siapa yang patut melaksanakan pengurusan jenazahnya, bagi menguruskan jenazah seorang lelaki atau perempuan muslim yang menukar jantina, jenazah tersebut hendaklah diuruskan mengikut jantina asalnya dan diuruskan oleh warisnya atau pihak berkuasa agama.Setelah saya bagi keterangan terperinci kepada ibunya, saya terus masuk ke bilik pengurusan jenazah untuk memandikan dan mengkafankan jenazah. Saya dibantu 3 waris jenazah, ibu dan 2 orang abangnya, 3 waris jenazah ini sahaja yang ada, yang lain hampir 30 orang sahabat sahabat jenazah ke semuanya sejenis sepertinya. Sebelum saya mandikan jenazah, seperti biasa saya akan bentangkan kain untuk di kafankan siap-siap supaya mudah kerja saya. Setelah selesai, saya mengangkat jenazah ke tempat mandi, saya tutup pakai kain kafan dan buka pakaiannya, alhamdulillah putih kulitnya namun perlahan lahan ke seluruhan tubuh badan jenazah mula menghitam, sikit demi sedikit, ibu dan abang arwah mula perasan, ibu arwah tidak dapat berkata apa-apa, seolah-olah sudah tahu apa yang akan terjadi, mengalir air mata ibu arwah sehingga saya sendiri pun mengalirkan air mata.

Mulakan proses memandikan jenazah dengan beristinjak iaitu membuang najis. Ketika itu, najisnya cukup banyak sehingga terpaksa berhenti kerana sudah terlalu lama beristinjak.

Saya memulakan mandi jenazah dengan istinjak (buang najis), ketika saya istinjak jenazah itu, najisnya cukup banyak, sehingga saya behenti, kerana saya rasa sudah terlalu lama saya istinjak, tetapi najisnya tidak behenti keluar. Saya terus menyucikan jenazah macam biasa, saya lihat air yang mengalir kekuningan keluar dari tubuh jenazah dan yang lebih menyedihkan keluar dari kemaluannya nanah bercampur darah dan juga ulat.Selama itu jugalah mulut saya tiada henti memohon doa agar ALLAH SWT meringankan azab arwah dan memudahkan urusan keatas arwah agar dapat saya uruskan sempurna yang mungkin. Perlahan lahan saya memasukkan kapas kedalam kemaluan jenazah dengan tujuan memberhentikan pengaliran darah tadi. Ibu jenazah yang mulanya nak membantu saya untuk mandikan jenazah anaknya tadi pengsan, kerana melihat kejadian itu.Saya terus mandikan jenazah anaknya, selesai saya mandikan dan wudukan jenazah, saya tutup keseluruhan tubuh jenazah dengan kain kafan sebelum saya jiruskan dengan air sembilan.Sedikit penerangan, air sembilan ini air yang dicampurkan, air kapur barus, air kayu cendana dan air sintok, air ini untuk mewangikan jenazah.

Tingginya kuasa Allah SWT, jenazah tersebut kelihatan reput dan buah dada palsunya mengecut selepas kain kapan dibuka. Namun, apa yang berlaku selepas itu sangat mengejutkan....

Setelah selesai saya jirus air sembilan tadi, saya bukak kain kafan tadi, sekali lagi ALLAH tunjuk kekuasaanNYA. Jenazah kelihatan sangat reput, buah dada palsunya mengecut. Selesai saya mandi dan kafankan jenazah tadi, saya jemput kesemua sahabat sahabatnya tadi untuk duduk di depan jenazah, saya mengambil peluang itu untuk memberi sedikit tazkirah dan hampir kesemuanya menangis. Apa yang menyedihkan saya, tidak sampai beberapa minit jenazah di angkat ke dalam van jenazah, sahabat sahabat jenazah tadi bergelak ketawa di tepi van jenazah itu, tak tahulah saya apa yang di sembangkan. ALLAH HU AKHBAR. Doa saya mudahan ALLAH membuka hidayah agar mereka berubah dan mudahan ALLAH mengampunkan juga dosa saya dan arwah sepanjang proses pengurusan bermula hinggalah selesai.

Sesungguhnya, posting ini bukanlah bertujuan untuk mengaibkan mana-mana pihak. Malah, ianya boleh dijadikan pengajaran untuk diri sendiri dan masyarakat lain.

Pertukaran jantina dari lelaki kepada perempuan atau sebaliknya, melalui pembedahan, adalah haram di segi syara' berdasarkan AL-Quran dan dipandukan Hadis. Allah mencipta manusia dengan sebaik-baik kejadian berbanding dengan makhluk yang lain.Firman ALLAH yang bermaksud: "Sesungguhnya Kami ciptakan manusia dengan sebaik-baik bentuk".( Surah AT-Tiin ayat 4 )Daripada Ibnu Abbas R.A. bahawa (Maksudnya):"Rasulullah melaknat kaum lelaki yang menyerupai atau berlagak seperti wanita dan kaum wanita yang menyerupai atau berlagak seperti lelaki".( Hadis Riwayat AL-Bukhari )Daripada Abu Hurairah R.A. beliau berkata (Maksudnya):"Rasulullah melaknat lelaki yang memakai pakaian wanita dan wanita yang memakai pakaian lelaki".( Hadis Riwayat Abu Daud )Wahai saudara-saudara seislam ku, ini pengalaman yang saya lalui sendiri. Janji ALLAH itu benar saudara-saudara ku. Ambillah pengajaran dan iktibar daripada pengalaman saya ini. Janganlah kamu ragu-ragu lagi dengan janji ALLAH. Selagi kita masih bernafas, kita masih sempat lagi untuk bertaubat kepadaNYA.

Tersentap bila baca. Semoga kita semua akan mendapat pengajaran melalui pengalaman yang begitu mendebarkan ini.

5 Simple Money Habits That Will Push You Ahead Of Your Peers

When it comes to personal finance, you need to cultivate some good habits in order to be above average

You don’t have to be a pro in handling money, just follow these five money habits that everyone can learn to stay ahead when it comes to financial management.

1. Learn when to use loans properly

Image via Bplans

Not all loans are bad. Those who used the loan smartly will make sure they use it to generate higher returns. In the end, the returns they received from using the loan will not only pay for the loan, but will also generate higher value.For example, you take on a loan to buy a mobile phone. That is an example of a bad loan, as a mobile phone is a depreciating item, instead of an asset.But let’s say you take a personal loan to grow your business. This makes it a good debt as the loan is used to improve your business net worth. Good debt can also be characterised as below:Increases and adds to your net worthHelps your money growAffordable repaymentLow interestTherefore, it is important to understand the concept of leveraging, because a loan can be a good debt if you learn to use the loan to generate return at a lowest cost.

2. Pursue income growth

Image via Entreprenuer

Let’s face it, there is only so much you can save from your monthly income. For example, if your monthly salary is RM3,000, and you have to spend a fixed RM500 on your basic necessities. This means you won’t be able to afford to save more than RM2,500 every month.So for most people, having a full-time job will not lead to wealth, but it is more about stability in generating income. The individuals who do become affluent are the ones who are actively pursuing growth in their existing income.Here’s a simple guideline you can follow: Make it a habit to actively grow your monthly income by 10% every year. Let’s say your current salary is RM3,000. Aim to have your monthly income increase to RM3,300 next year. It may be easier said than done, but you should at least have an initiative to grow your income. This can be done by earning a side income on top of your monthly income, or improve your skills then negotiate with your employer for a salary raise.

3. Practice the 5% rule

Image via Yellow Jersey PR

When it comes to investing, make sure you practice the 5% rule. This rule states that 5% of your investment portfolio should be channeled into an alternative investment. Essentially, what you are striving for is a balanced portfolio of low and high risk investments without jeopardising your money.For example, you can opt to put 5% into a riskier investment fund where you can get 7% per annum. This way, your investment will be balanced between the low returns of your safe assets. Yet even if your high-risk investments go wrong, it won’t cause too much damage, because remember, you’ve limited it to only make up 5% of your investments.

4. Spend cautiously

This is an oldie, but a goodie. It is a money habit that you must have if you are serious about growing your wealth. In order to make sure your finances are not only in order, but you are ahead of the game, you need to pay attention to the small details too.For example, consider the people who spend money on gym memberships, but then never go. Likewise, there are people who spend more than they have to on the home loan (they don’t refinance even if a cheaper deal is on the market), or buy expensive coffee when a cheaper, equally good cup is right across the street.This is buying due to novelty or convenience, rather than actual desire. In the above example, we may buy expensive coffee not because we savour that brand, but just because it’s in the same office building. The financially successful cultivate a high resistance to this behaviour. It’s not that they don’t spend – they’re just careful to direct their spending toward things that truly satisfy them.

5. Avoid analysis paralysis

Image via Huffingtonpost

Sometimes when you think too much about something, in the end you won’t get around to do anything. In order to be financially successful, one needs to take action. Sure, a financial decision will require more research before a decision is made. However, there are those who do not come to a decision even after all the research has been done.For example, you are thinking of buying your first home, but you are unsure if it is the right time to do so. A financially savvy person will set a date by which they will decide to buy or decide not to. By doing so, they will avoid analysis paralysis, which is a situation when there are many options, and one learns what all options entail, but ends up not taking any action.You must know, and set a time to stop looking around. Give yourself deadlines for example, when you should make a decision, and under what conditions. Then follow through with your action, because if you don’t do this, you may not do so and you won’t grow your wealth.

Bukit Aman: We Have Solid Evidence That Rosmah's Pink Diamond Was Bought With 1MDB Funds

Bukit Aman police revealed that there is now solid evidence to prove that Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's 'pink diamond' was purchased using 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) funds

Image via The Edge Markets

"There is money trail evidence of the purchase of the USD23 million (RM94 million) 'pink diamond' from a jeweller in New York using money from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)," Senior Assistant Commissioner Datuk Khalil Azlan Chik, head of the Bukit Aman anti-money laundering investigation team, revealed."Even though the 'pink diamond' was not found during the police raid, there is clear evidence to show the existence of the purchase transaction," he said in a media statement on 13 April, Malay Mail reported.

Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has repeatedly denied being the buyer of the 22-carat diamond

The wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak alleged that she was being slandered by critics and the rumours were fabricated as a means of voting him out of office."If people come to apologise to me, I will forgive them. But what is more important is to apologise to the people," Rosmah told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex on Wednesday, 10 April, according to The Star.

Last year, Najib claimed that the pink diamond pendant was a gift from Prince Sheikh Mansour, the brother of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Zayed.

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Amiruddin Hamzah told the Dewan Rakyat on Monday, 8 April, that the gem was not purchased in Malaysia despite being brought into the country

According to the deputy minister, the jewellery agents had declared the diamond among about 40 pieces of precious stones meant for the "wife of a prominent person."However, the agent also declared the same jewellery to have exited the country, indicating no sale was made, Malay Mail reported.

The former premier also denied his wife's involvement with the 22-carat jewel in his first sit down interview after GE14:

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Dalam diam ramai telah menjadi mangsa akibat penggunaan rokok, vape dan pods yang semakin popular dalam kalangan anak-anak remaja

Kalau anda nak tahu, kerajaan telah membelanjakan RM2.92 bilion pada tahun 2004 bagi merawat tiga penyakit utama yang berkaitan dengan kanser paru-paru.Kos ini terus meningkat kepada RM6.21 bilion pada tahun 2020 dan ia dijangka akan terus meningkat kepada RM8.77 bilion pada tahun 2030.Jumlah ini jauh berbeza dengan hasil kutipan cukai tembakau yang berjumlah RM2.97 bilion pada tahun 2020.

Melihat kepada pertambahan kos yang semakin meningkat dan kesihatan rakyat terutamanya golongan muda semakin terjejas, NGO berharap tindakan yang sewajarnya dapat diambil oleh ahli parlimen bagi mengelakkan penularan penggunaan rokok, vape dan pods.Sehingga kini dianggarkan kira-kira 4.8 juta rakyat Malaysia yang berusia 15 tahun dan ke atas adalah perokok. Bayangkanlah, trend ini semakin meningkat dan tidak menunjukkan sebarang penurunan sejak tahun 2016. Tak ke membimbangkan tu?Kongsi pandangan dan respon anda terhadap isu ini dengan menjawab soal selidik yang telah disediakan.

Bahaya EVALI yang ramai tak tahu!

E-Cigarette and Vaping Products Associated Lung Injury atau lebih dikenali dengan nama EVALI merupakan satu penyakit yang muncul sejak 3 tahun lepas akibat daripada penggunaan rokok elektronik atau vape.Nak tahu bahaya ke tak rokok elektronik ni, negara jiran seperti Thailand, Brunei dan Singapura telah mengharamkan penggunaan rokok elektronik atau vape (dasar total ban).Di Malaysia pun dah ada kes EVALI walaupun masih ramai yang tak tahu. Menurut Pakar Perubatan Kecemasan, Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya, Dr Mohd Afiq Mohd Nor, beliau sendiri bersama pakar lain telah mengendalikan dua kejadian Kes EVALI dalam kalangan remaja.Anda kena tahu kandungan yang terdapat di dalam cecair vape dan pods ni telah dibuktikan mengandungi ribuan bahan kimia yang berbahaya kepada tubuh badan dan lebih menakutkan lagi ada di antara bahan-bahan ini boleh menyebabkan kanser.

Netizen perlu lebih peka isu rokok dan rokok elektronik

Dah banyak perkongsian di media sosial berkaitan kesan penggunaan rokok elektronik. Namun, masih ramai yang ambil mudah. Baru-baru ini saudari @Aleesya9898 di Twitter berkongsi video seorang remaja yang dadanya ditebuk kerana penggunaan pods.

Kat Malaysia pun dah Ramai guys pic.twitter.com/KYg7BJ7PIQ— Aleesya (@Aleesya9898) July 14, 2022

Pelbagai reaksi diberikan netizen, ada yang cakap dah berhenti, ada yang tak percaya dan ada juga yang berkongsi pengalaman anak-anak mereka jatuh sakit kerana asap rokok.

Justeru itu, tak hairanlah NGO menggesa tindakan yang sewajarnya diambil melalui pelaksanaan Generational Endgame (GEG) di bawah Rang Undang-Undang (RUU) Kawalan Produk Tembakau dan Merokok 2022 iaitu larangan pembelian, penjualan, pemilikan dan merokok termasuk rokok elektronik atau vape kepada generasi yang lahir pada 1 Januari 2005.Usaha ini penting bagi memastikan jumlah perokok turun kepada kurang daripada 5% menjelang tahun 2040  tercapai.

One contestant, who boasted in a previous episode that she had eaten "a lot of foreign foods", said to cameras that she felt queasy and was seen going to a nearby garbage bin to throw up, Asia One revealed.

Recently, local authorities in Cixi city of Zhejiang Province, China uncovered a case of a single mother selling her twin babies for 65,000 yuan (RM38,209) and using the money to buy a new phone

According to AsiaOne, while the incident happened in September last year, it was only uncovered by local police a few days back while investigating a different case.The single mother surnamed Ma sold off the babies after her boyfriend refused to take responsibility and her parents threatened to provide her with no help.According to a Chinese news site ETToday, Ma sold one of her babies for 45,000 yuan (RM26,446) and other for 20,000 yuan (RM11,750).

Authorities with the twin brothers.

When authorities questioned the woman, she claimed that she sold off her twins because she was "penniless and heavily in debt"

The single mother, who is in her 20s, said that her parents had refused to help her because they were angry about the pre-marital pregnancy.Meanwhile, the father of the twins who was nowhere to be found when they were born, resurfaced to ask for his share when he heard that Ma had sold off the twins.Surprisingly, the woman split the money she got by selling the babies with her boyfriend. She then used her share to pay off her credit card debts and to buy a new mobile phone, a Chinese news site called Lianhe Zaobao reported.The boyfriend, known only as Wu, used the money to pay back his gambling debt.

While authorities have now arrested the single mother along with her boyfriend, the pair had already spent all of the money

Following their arrest, police also traced the two couples who had bought the children.However, as buying and selling of children is a crime, the twins have now been returned to the single mother's parents, ETToday reported.

Women, Family, and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun will soon settle the RM2.3 million lawsuit filed against her by a French production company

According to The Star, Rina was to face a judgment debtor summons hearing by French company Sarl Novovision at the Kuala Lumpur High Court yesterday, 9 September.However, she was unable to appear at the bankruptcy proceedings due to personal matters.Instead, she was represented by lawyer Husain Mohd Razak who said the issue could be settled as soon as possible.Husain told reporters at the court complex after the hearing that his client had issued several cheques to the company towards the settlement."She will discuss the amount agreed to by the company soon," he said.

Rina is facing possible bankruptcy after failing to pay for content purchased from Sarl Novovision between 2011 and 2013 through her now-defunct companies Eurofine (M), Fine Mobile Network, and Fine TV Network

New Straits Times reported that Rina and other company director, Ida Rahayu Md Noor, had entered into a guarantee agreement with the French company in May 2014 that they would personally and jointly undertake all liabilities of the companies.However, the companies were closed down between December 2013 and August 2015.Ida Rahayu also declared bankruptcy on 5 October 2015.According to Malay Mail, after failing to settle the amount, the French company then filed a statement of claim against Rina on 8 November 2018 for USD553,795 (RM2.3 million) and that the full amount must be paid by 31 July 2019.In April 2019, both parties then entered a consent judgement after the minister still failed to settle the disputed amount.

The judgment debtor summons hearing yesterday, 9 September, was issued by the court to compel Rina to provide information about her assets and how she can settle the judgment debt

Lawyer Mark Ho, who is representing Sarl Novovision, said Rina had proposed settlement terms with his client but he could not disclose the terms."I am sorry but I am not at liberty to reveal anything about it pending court proceedings," he said, as quoted by New Straits Times."However, today the minister has handed over cheques as an instalment payment and on that basis, the court granted a new date for the judgment debtor summons."The court has fixed 22 October for another case hearing.

M'sian Escapes To The Jungle Due To Work Stress. He Called For Help 6 Days Later

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

Earlier this month, a man, Mohamad Suhairy Mohamed, boarded a bus from Kuala Lumpur to Terminal Amanjaya in Ipoh, Perak

Suhairy was reportedly stressed at work.Unable to cope, the 41-year-old made a hasty decision to escape from everything and go live in the jungle.He entered into the wildness through Tenaga Nasional Berhad's main distribution substation near the National Audit Department, and spent a few days in the wilderness.However, the vast jungle turned out to be too much for Suhairy, who soon got lost.

Lost in the wildness, and unable to find anything to eat, the 41-year-old ended up calling for help on the sixth day

He was rescued early Sunday morning, 10 June, after he called up the 999 emergency line.According to a Bernama report, he was rescued by the Perak Fire and Rescue Department.It took rescue personnel some three hours to locate Suhairy's location.According to Perak Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Sabarodzi Nor Ahmad, they received the call at 11.44pm on Saturday night, 9 June, and rushed to the location described by Suhairy.There was no Internet connection. But fortunately for Suhairy, he was reachable via his phone."Upon arrival at the scene, the operation commander contacted the victim, who said that he heard the presence of fire engines from the forest," Sabarodzi was quoted as saying.Sabarodzi said Suhairy was found at 2.46am and handed over to the police for further action.

Following his rescue, the authorities learned that the 41-year-old, who is from Cheras, has a history of schizophrenia and hallucinations

According to Ipoh district police chief ACP Yahaya Hassan, Suhairy was referred to a psychiatrist at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital last year but he stopped taking his medicines in January this year.Yahaya said that the man told the police that he wanted to live alone, adding that he was an orphan who has been living by on his own since completing secondary school in 1999.After he was rescued, he was sent to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital for observation.He is said to be in stable condition.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

"Kalau Dirogol Pun Bersabarlah, Awak Akan Dapat Satu Pahala Kerana Ujian Itu" - Fynn Jamal

Nama penyanyi, Fynn Jamal kembali hangat selepas kenyataan kontroversinya berhubung isu rogol

Image via Instagram @fynnjamal

Beberapa hari lalu, Fynn telah mengeluarkan kenyataan yang seolah-olah menyalahkan wanita sendiri sebagai penyebab kepada ganguan seksual di laman Instastory miliknya.Kenyataan serta pandangan yang telah dilontarkan Fynn itu ternyata telah menimbulkan rasa kurang senang netizen terhadap beliau sehingga namanya turut menjadi trending di Twitter.

Selain netizen, terdapat juga beberapa orang selebriti yang dilihat tidak bersependapat dengan pandangan penyanyi lagu Arjuna Beta itu

I love how Wardina slams Fynn Jamal this morning. Rape thing is complex. You cannot mix covering aurat with rape issue.  pic.twitter.com/tH4oPGD2Dj— Kefli Nawawi (@kefli_nawawi) June 29, 2020

Antaranya adalah Caprice dan juga pelakon, Wardina Saffiyah. Susulan daripada kenyataan yang dibuat Fynn itu, kedua-dua selebriti tersebut telah membuat live di Instagram bagi mendapatkan penjelasan lanjut daripada Fynn sendiri berhubung perkara itu.Malah menerusi sesi live yang dibuat Fynn bersama Wardina semalam, pelakon yang pernah popular dengan filem Lagi-Lagi Senario itu dengan tegas menolak pandangan Fynn bahawa tindakan wanita memuat naik swafoto di media sosial boleh menyumbang kepada jenayah rogol."Rape has been happening before social media. It's been happening since the beginning of time."And then bila Fynn cakap selfies, there's also another problem there. People can misinterpret that. So you better not to says that."If you don't post, other people will because we don't live in ideal society," katanya.Kedua-dua sesi live tersebut telah mendapat perhatian netizen yang mana ada di antaranya bersetuju dengan kenyataan yang telah dilontarkan Fynn, namun tidak kurang ramai juga yang menggeleng kepala dengan hujah penyanyi berpurdah itu dengan menyifatkan ia sebagai tidak wajar.

Selain membuat live bersama Caprice dan Wardina, Fynn turut membuat sesi tersebut bersama seorang individu yang dikenali sebagai Afiqah bagi membincangkan isu yang sedang hangat itu

Namun dalam sesi live tersebut, satu kenyataan serta pandangan yang telah dibuat oleh Fynn sekali lagi telah menjadi perhatian netizen khususnya di Twitter.

“Kalau kena rogol, awak bersabar, awak dapat satu pahala kerana ujian rogol”Apa benda kau cakap ni.....Kita taknak cerita pasal pahala kita. Kita nak cerita pasal dosa merogol lah. Budak Afiqah ni cerdik umur 21 matang! pic.twitter.com/EAApqRIKb6— Ms Ayu Aziz (@ayuazizz) June 29, 2020

Menerusi video pendek tersebut, Fynn menyatakan bahawa mangsa akan mendapat pahala jika dia bersabar."Kalaulah awak kena rogol lepastu awak bersabar, awak dapat satu pahala bersabar kerana ujian rogol. Kalau awak dah jaga diri awak pakai syar'i, awak tetap dirogol, awak dapat pakaian syar'i punya pahala dan awak dapat double efforts sebab awak dah try, you protected yourself," kata Fynn.Untuk menonton sesi live yang sepenuhnya, sila lihat di bawah:

Setiap individu pastinya ada pandangan masing-masing berhubung perkara ini. Namun yang pasti, rogol tetap rogol dan ia adalah jenayah yang sangat berat.

[REVIEW] These Earbuds Have 4 Built-In Mics, So You Never Have To Repeat Yourself In Calls

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

We recently got our hands on the soon-to-be released Jabra Elite 4 earbuds, and tested them out

First, let's have a look at what we got out of the box:

Image via Hafiz Zainuddin/SAYS

The Jabra Elite 4 earbuds come with the earbuds itself, a USB type-C cable, a charging case, and two extra sets of ear gels of different sizes.

For RM529, the Jabra Elite 4 features durable earbuds with customisable sound and 6mm speakers

Image via Hafiz Zainuddin/SAYS

For starters, the earbuds have a durable build that makes it comfortable to bring around wherever you go. It also packs a discreet finish that makes it easy to pair as an accessory as well. We got the Navy blue one, but it also comes in Dark Grey, Lilac, and Beige. Aside from featuring a balance of treble and bass, the Jabra Elite 4 earbuds give you the option of customising your earbuds when you download their Jabra Sound+ app on the App Store or Google Play. Basically, the app provides music equaliser and music preset options so you can customise your sound frequencies.

This particular pair of earbuds also provide good accessibility with a variety of quality-of-life (QoL) features

Image via Hafiz Zainuddin/SAYS

You can connect the Jabra Elite 4 earbuds to two devices at once through its Bluetooth Multipoint feature, so you don't have to switch around between your laptop and smartphone. If you're someone who likes to drown out the world when you're vibing to your favourite tunes, the Jabra Elite 4 earbuds provide a nifty active noise cancellation feature (ANC) that blocks out a decent amount of background noise. And if you're not an ANC person, you can simply turn off this feature by tapping the right earbud. I've been testing out the earbuds for over a week now, and the battery (on a single charge) still hasn't died on me. As a benchmark, Jabra claims that the Jabra Elite 4 earbuds can last up to 22 hours with ANC on, and up to 28 hours with ANC off, as long as the charging case is fully charged.

But the main highlight of the Jabra Elite 4 is its phenomenal call quality, thanks to a four-mic setup

Image via Hafiz Zainuddin/SAYS

The Jabra Elite 4 is imbued with a four-mic setup that makes your voice super clear on calls.So far, I've only used the earbuds for calls indoors, but I can confirm that the call quality has been great — and during meetings and calls, there was a staggering difference in mic quality compared to your usual earbuds or laptop mic.Essentially, if you're in online calls often, the Jabra Elite 4 is a solid option and good enough if you don't plan on getting a dedicated mic.

Ultimately, if you're looking for a decent pair of true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds with good customisation options, a comfortable fit, and excellent call quality, the Jabra Elite 4 is the way to go!

Image via Hafiz Zainuddin/SAYS

You can purchase the Jabra Elite 4 for RM529 at selected authorised resellers as well as Jabra's official Shopee and Lazada storefronts from the end of April onwards. Stay tuned for the official release date!


Woman Thoughtfully Informs Cops She's Hiding A Loaded Gun In Her Vagina

Thanks to the Internet, we have all come across viral YouTube videos that reveal what all can fit between the "nature's pocket"

×

However, there are still some things that should never go inside a vagina. A loaded gun would be one such thing. On Tuesday, 8 September, cops in Waco, Texas, pulled over a couple, Gabriel Garcia and Ashley Cecilia Castaneda, during a routine traffic stop.
The couple was driving a 1998 Toyota Land Rover, which contained 2.7 grams of methamphetamine (similar to cocaine), police said.

Surprisingly, the meth wasn't the most bizarre detail of the story.As the cops were in the process of taking the two to jail, Castaneda thoughtfully informed one of the officers that she had a gun in her vagina. Sure enough, after a thorough pat-down, the police discovered that Castaneda was telling the truth."A female officer searched Castaneda discovering she had in fact placed a loaded Smith and Wesson pistol inside her body cavity," Sergeant W. Patrick Swanton told KWTX 10.

        mashable.com

Seen here are Ashley Cecilia Castaneda and the fully loaded Smith and Wesson .22 Semi-auto gun that was found inside her vagina

Image via Gawker

"The weapon had a round chambered and a full magazine of bullets," the Waco police department said in a statement posted on its Facebook page which has garnered hundreds of comments such as this: "Well, if a child's head can come out (from the vagina), why not a loaded 22!"

Sergeant Swanton was relieved that the situation was resolved in a non-deadly manner, as it "could've been extremely dangerous for everybody involved," who added that people have asked him, 'Why are you even telling us this?', in response to which he said that:

"The reason is because we want people to know this truly does happen. People don't believe this happens in real life. It happens much more than your average citizen would ever know."

And he is right! Back in 2013, another woman, Christie Dawn Harris, aged 28, was arrested with a loaded handgun wedged inside her vagina during a drug arrest. The twist in this tale is that Christie also had bags of crystal meth wedged between her butt with intent to distribute. She was later sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Fake Baby Milk Powder Case: Here's How To Identify The Fake Packets

Following the seizure of the fake baby milk powder in Johor Bahru City last Thursday, 7 December, Mead Johnson Malaysia's Enfagrow A+ has released a PSA about how to easily identify the fake packets

On Thursday, counterfeit versions of Enfagrow A+ Malaysia's infant formula milk powder Enfalac A+ Step 1 (1.8kg boxes) were seized from five supermarkets and pharmacies in Johor Bahru city by officers from KPDNKK.Following which, Mead Johnson Malaysia has issued a statement saying that the company is conducting a sweep of retail stores in Johor to trace and confiscate counterfeit versions of its infant formula milk powder Enfalac A+ Step 1.It said that the searches identified a small percentage of suspect product in a handful of retail outlets with the only product being involved is Enfalac A+ Step 1 in 1.8 kg box, which comes in three foil packs in each box.Adding that while to date only 210 fake packs were found, Mead Johnson Malaysia is working with authorities with the objective of completely eliminating their presence.

How to spot the counterfeit products?

According to Enfagrow A+ Malaysia, the easiest way to identify the counterfeit product is to examine the individual foil pouches.The genuine Enfalac A+ Step 1 pouches are a bit puffy as compared to the counterfeit pouches which are tight-fitting to the powder.The counterfeit pouches also have distinctive sharp creases on both sides that are not present in genuine pouches, the company said.

The company shared a photo for example:

You Can't Have Dogs In This Local Area Unless Your Neighbour Is OK With It

In an effort to stop people from complaining about dogs that bark non-stop, the Batu Gajah District Council has issued a new rule:

Seek your neighbour's permission if you want to own a dog.The Batu Gajah District Council (MDBG) in Perak has made it a mandatory rule for dog owners applying for a dog license to seek their neighbours' consent first."This is to ensure better management of the pets and to ensure there are fewer complaints from the people," The Star quoted the Council president as saying.Nurdiana Puaadi, the Council president, added that the MDBG had received numerous complaints about dogs that barked non-stop."Once the neighbours give their approval, they cannot complain to us," she said.

And the rule is not just for people applying for a new dog licence, even existing dog owners need to get their neighbours' permission

According to the report in The Star Online, Ipoh residents staying at terrace lots need the consent from neighbours from both sides.Additionally, those staying in bungalows, semi-detached and cluster homes need permission from neighbours on both sides and at the backThere's also a limit on the number of dogs you can keep. For example, if you live in a bungalow, semi-detached or terrace corner lot, you can keep a maximum of two dogs, while residents in terrace end lots and terrace intermediate lots can only keep one.

The new rule also states the types of dogs not allowed

Akita, American Bulldog, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, Neapolitan Mastiff, Pit Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull and Staffordshire Bull Terrier.While Rottweilers are allowed, new applicants now need to produce health reports from the Veterinary Services Department.Those who have been keeping Rottweilers can renew the licence until the pet dies.

Besides, your dog cannot roam unsupervised, unleashed and without a muzzle. And if a dog that's three years or older is found without a licence, the Council impound and put it down.
