Dr Noor Hisham explained, "We have advised parents to not bring their children to public spaces such as supermarkets and hospitals. The government will always advise people first. However, now we will discuss ways to take action against parents who take their children to public spaces without a valid reason."

He also added that the Ministry of Health (MOH) will meet with the National Security Council tomorrow to discuss the issue.

Meanwhile, on 15 May, MOH announced that parents can bring their chidren to the nearest health facility for scheduled immunisation services.

MOH is calling on parents to bring their children in Standard 1 to the nearest health clinic for scheduled immunisation. Schools will be giving out the immunisation appointment schedule to parents.

Zahid's Daughter Infuriates High Court By Posting 'Blatant Lie' About Father's Trial On IG

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

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's daughter, Datuk Nurul Hidayah, has been warned for making subjudicial comments while her father's trial is ongoing

According to New Straits Times, Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah was not happy when he heard the prosecution raising the matter of Nurul Hidayah — Zahid's 42-year-old daughter — posting and talking about her father's trial on Instagram.Deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran told the High Court yesterday, 8 September, that Nurul Hidayah is believed to have used her Instagram account to make "absurd claims" that were prejudicial to the prosecution."She has made baseless accusations about the ongoing trial, making absurd claims like we amended Section 30(7) of the Malaysian Anti Corruption (MACC) Act just to ensure the prosecution against Zahid could go on," she said."She also claimed that the prosecution had admitted that there was no evidence of corruption (in Zahid's case), and that it was all purely slander.""Obviously, we have never made such a statement... We haven't even started our arguments. This is a blatant lie and she is obviously very ignorant of the law."The DPP then urged the judge to issue a prohibition order against Nurul Hidayah to bar her from making any more of such postings.

Upon learning the matter, Judge Collin was hardly amused by Nurul Hidayah's action, saying the court will not tolerate any subjudicial comments during the trial period

Zahid's lawyer Hamidi Mohd Noh said it was a "small matter" before correcting himself by saying, "However, very important because it involves subjudice", reported Malay Mail.New Straits Times reported that the judge snapped and said, "This is hardly a small matter. This court has to issue a warning that comments of subjudicial nature should not be made while this trial is ongoing."Following which, Hamidi agreed that it is a "serious matter" and offered his apologies. "And I would like to first apologise to the courts and we would look into this and we will ask the author to remove the posting if it is the court's will," he said.Zahid's lead defence lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik then added that the matter was "beyond our control", but Judge Collin said he still had to issue a warning though he did it without naming anyone.

Nurul Hidayah has over 130,000 followers on Instagram.
Following her controversial comments, she issued an apology in an Instagram post and said, "It will not happen again."

She also wished the best to both the prosecution and defence team in the post dated yesterday.Based on her Instagram feed, Nurul Hidayah can be seen often accompanying her father to the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex.

In a separate post on Wednesday, she wrote that a lot of the headlines in the press can be said to be "misleading. About me"."Well. That is the price I've gotta pay. I am still proud to be Anak Zahid," she continued, before thanking Malay Mail for a candid photo of her at the courthouse.She also gave a shoutout to an Instagram page selling branded eyewear. She shared the store's Instagram Story, which shows Nurul Hidayah wearing a pair of Dior sunglasses.

While the BN administration had sealed the 1MDB report under the Official Secrets Act upon its release, it was declassified by Pakatan Harapan government.The report was missing key details about 1MDB, with one of the changes made to the final audit report was the removal of paragraphs mentioning the presence of Jho Low.You can read about all the changes made to the report here:

Everything You Need To Know About Bangkok's 2014 Shutdown

Thai Court Bans Use Of Violence Against Protesters After 5 Killed And Over 60 Left Injured

Describing the movement to overthrow the Thai government as peaceful, a Bangkok civil court on Wednesday sharply curtailed the powers of the authorities and barred them from dispersing protesters, a decision that a prominent legal analyst described as “one step closer to a full-scale judicial coup.”

        gulf-times.com

The decision came one day after violent clashes between the police and protesters that left five people dead, including a police officer.

        nytimes.com

After a series of confrontations in recent weeks and the wide circulation of photographs of heavily armed men among the protesters, the protest movement increasingly resembles an armed insurrection against the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

        time.com

The court found that the protests were being carried out “peacefully without weapons,” and ordered that the demonstrators’ rights and freedoms “be protected according to the Constitution.” The decision bars the government from using force or weapons to crack down on the demonstrators.

Thailand Goes To Vote As Anti-Government Protesters Attempt To Disrupt The Vote Across The Nation

Thailand's tense national election got underway Sunday with protesters forcing the closure of several polling stations in the capital amid fears of more bloodshed a day after gun battles in Bangkok left seven people wounded.

        bbc.co.uk

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra voted soon after polls opened
Image via bbcimg.co.uk

The extent of disruptions was not immediately clear when polls opened nationwide. But there were early indications that several hundred polling stations in Bangkok and southern Thailand, an opposition stronghold, could not open because protesters had blocked the delivery of ballots or stopped voters from entering.

        the-review.com

Whatever happens, the outcome will almost certainly be inconclusive. Because protesters blocked candidate registration in some districts, parliament will not have enough members to convene.

        voanews.com

That means beleaguered Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra will be unable to form a government or even pass a budget, and Thailand will be stuck in political limbo for months as by-elections are run in constituencies that were unable to vote.

The risk of Election Day violence remained high a day after seven people were wounded during an hour-long gun fight that broke out in broad daylight at a busy Bangkok intersection Saturday between government supporters and protesters intent on derailing the polls. Among the injured was reporter for the local Daily News newspaper and American photojournalist, James Nachtwey, who was grazed by a bullet in the leg.

Grenade Explodes At Thai Protest Site Ahead Of Sunday Election

The attack was at the Lat Phrao intersection in northern Bangkok, which the People's Democratic Reform Committee has occupied since January 13 as part of its Bangkok Shutdown campaign aimed at forcing the resignation of caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck and her cabinet.

Thailand has announced a two-month state of emergency in Bangkok and neighbouring provinces in response to protests that have seen nine people killed and hundreds injured amid calls for the government to resign.

        theguardian.com

The decree will allow security agencies to impose curfews, detain suspects without charge, censor media, ban political gatherings of more than five people and declare areas off-limits.

        aljazeera.com

The last time a state of emergency was imposed in Bangkok, to deal with opposition protests against the previous government in 2010, dozens of people were killed in a bloody military crackdown.

Thai Anti-Government Protests Turn Violent, As PM Yingluck Shinawatra Refuses To Step Down

Bangkok's emergency services office said one man was hit in the ankle and a woman was hit in the arm in the shooting, which occurred on a street leading to an upmarket shopping district that has been occupied since Monday by camping demonstrators trying to oust the prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, and her government.

In another incident over Tuesday night a small explosive device was thrown into a residential compound owned by former Abhisit Vejjajiva, the previous prime minister, shattering windows and slightly damaging a roof, according to police colonel Chumpol Phumphuang and Abhisit's opposition Democrat party.

        samaa.tv

In the west of the city several people poured gasoline on a tour bus that had been used by protesters and set it ablze, police said.

        theguardian.com

On Tuesday Yingluck insisted she would not quit while the protesters reiterated vows not to negotiate, leaving no way out in sight. "I've stressed many times I have a duty to act according to my responsibility after the dissolution of parliament," Yingluck saod.

        radioaustralia.net.au

"I'd like to say right now I am not holding on [to my position] but I have to keep political stability. I'm doing my duty to preserve democracy."

        theguardian.com

The protesters are boycotting the February poll because they know Yingluck's party would win as it did in 2011. Instead, they are calling for an unelected "people's council" to amend laws to fight corruption in politics, while an appointed prime minister would help administer the country for up to two years.

Thai Protestors Launch Bangkok Shutdown Amidst Fear Of Civil War

Thailand braced for a “shutdown” of its capital today by protesters who want to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and install an unelected government, as fears grew that the southeast Asian country could be heading for civil war.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Protesters have begun blocking roads in parts of the Thai capital, Bangkok, in a bid to oust the government before snap elections on 2 February.
The protesters are building barricades and occupying key road junctions. Huge crowds are expected to turn out for the demonstration on Monday. Protesters say they intend to achieve what they are calling a shutdown of the capital.

        bbc.co.uk

At one, near the American and Japanese embassies, around 100 protesters sat on the road to halt traffic. Som Rodpai, 64, said they would leave after nightfall, amid fears their citywide protest could spark a violent reaction.
"I'm not scared," said Som. "We came here unarmed."

        reuters.com

"We will fight regardless of whether we win or lose. We will not compromise or accept negotiation," protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban told crowds at a rally late Sunday. But it was still unclear how much support he would enjoy among city residents, some of whom voiced fears that the action would hurt their livelihoods.

        aljazeera.com

The government says it is deploying 8,000 soldiers and 10,000 police to keep order.
The military - which has carried out several coups in the past - has refused to rule out another one. Some fear an escalation of violence could lead to a military intervention.
The government has so far worked to avoid confrontation with the protesters.

Tearful Thai PM To Protesters: 'I Have Retreated So Far And I Don't Know Where To Retreat Further'

Her eyes welling with tears, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra pleaded on Tuesday for anti-government demonstrators to clear the streets and support a snap election, but defiant protest leaders called for her to step down within 24 hours.

After weeks of sometimes violent street protests, protesters rejected her call on Monday for a general election and said she should be replaced by an unelected "people's council", a proposal that has stoked concern Southeast Asia's second-biggest economy may abandon its democratic process.

        theguardian.com

Yingluck said she would continue her duties as caretaker prime minister until the election, which is expected on February 2. "Now that the government has dissolved parliament I ask that you stop protesting and that all sides work towards elections," Yingluck said, with tears in her eyes.

        india.com

She quickly composed herself. An estimated 3,000 protesters camped out overnight around Government House, where Yingluck's office is located, a day after 160,000 protesters converged peacefully on the complex in one of Bangkok's largest protests in memory.

        indianexpress.com

They made no attempt to get into the grounds, which appeared to be defended by unarmed police and soldiers. The crowd could swell again on Tuesday, a public holiday in Thailand for Constitution Day.

Anti-Government Protesters Want Thai PM To Leave The Country After She Dissolves Parliament

Facing large protests and calls for her resignation, embattled Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved parliament on Monday to pave the way for fresh elections that she will likely win again.

No date has been announced for the elections, but according to the Thai constitution, elections must be held within two months of dissolving the parliament. Yingluck will remain as caretaker prime minister until the new elections.

But with Yellow Shirt demonstrators repeatedly rejecting offers for a return to the polls, this move is unlikely to placate the hordes seeking to oust Thailand’s first female Premier.

Protesters have said they would not settle for the prime minister’s resignation but instead want to rid Thailand of her family’s influence. Thailand has been plagued by political turmoil since the army toppled Yingluck’s brother, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, in a 2006 coup.

The kingdom remains tense following several days of street clashes between police and demonstrators seeking to overthrow Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and curb the political influence of her brother Thaksin.

        google.com

After the clashes, during which riot police used tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets against stone-throwing demonstrators, the government ordered police to ease tensions by taking down barriers around key buildings including Government House.

But the barricades are set to be rebuilt ahead of a threat by anti-government protest leaders to turn Monday into "judgement day" for their efforts to overthrow the government.
"Police will erect barricades -- especially around Government House and Parliament," said Paradorn Pattnatabut, chief of the National Security Council.

[VIDEO] Never Ever Drive Your Car Up A Pedestrian Bridge Like This Guy

Stories of bad driving in Malaysia are pretty common, but a particular Malaysian driver totally took it to a whole new level.
Meet THIS Perodua Kenari driver.

Image via You Park & Drive Like A Noob - Malaysia

In a video that surfaced on social media recently, a Kenari was stuck on a bridge after the driver tried to use it — even when the bridge was only meant for pedestrians and motorcycles, not for cars!
Thankfully, a few people who were there offered some help.

After a few attempts, the driver finally managed to reverse his way out and stopped obstructing the path

Image via You Park & Drive Like A Noob - Malaysia

There was more good news for the driver as it appears that he managed to reverse all the way down with minimal damage to the car

However, needless to say, netizens were unamused with the driver's irresponsible act

Thai Woman Builds Cat Haven On Top Of Her Home So Pets Can Roam Without Getting Lost

Most cats enjoy strolling around in their own free will. But there are some moments when a cat owner might worry that their beloved fur friend will go missing or worse... get into an accident.

To avoid this stress, a Thai woman named Sasamon Sophin decided to do something about it.She recently went viral after sharing photos of her home in Nakhon Pathom, a city near Bangkok.

Image via Sasamon Sophin (Facebook)

Sitting right above her porch, Sasamon installed a huge home for her five cats. And it looks like a cat paradise!

Image via Sasamon Sophin (Facebook)

The cats' house is surrounded by a large cage and a roof, allowing her pets to walk freely and enjoy the outside air, without ever going missing. In an interview with SAYS, Sasamon shares that it has been one of her main worries, so she hired a constructor to build this for her furry friends.

Image via Sasamon Sophin (Facebook)

She explains that since the home is on a higher level, it doesn't get too hot and is sometimes windy. When it rains, it splashes a little into the home but dries quickly.Sasamon also said that the back of the house has a separate section for the cats, so they have the option to head to other areas if it rains. In addition, there are several cat doors, so they can slip in and out into any of the rooms in the house.

Photos show her pets just doing usual cat things – napping, exploring, and silently judging you from afar

Image via Sasamon Sophin (Facebook)

She filled their space with potted plants along with cat ladders and beds for them to chill on

There's even a spot where the cats can climb to the top of the roof, like their own little open-air attic

Sasamon shares that hiring someone to assemble the front structure cost her around THB70,000 to THB80,000 (RM10,000), which she feels was worth the investment. The normal price, she says, would have been around THB100,000 (RM13,000) or more.


[VIDEO] Form 2 Student Beaten Up After Being Accused Of Flirting With A Girl

On 16 March, a Form Two student got beaten up by two other students after he was accused of 'disturbing' a female student in a school in Klang

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS

According to Harian Metro, the victim was about to leave school for home before he was called over by another student around 12.30pm. The victim was brought to the back of the school where he was beaten up by two other students.The beating was recorded on mobile and two videos were uploaded onto Facebook, attracting over 900,000 views and 8,500 shares.

The first video, a 21-second long footage showed the victim getting kneed in the stomach five times before he was kicked in the head by a shirtless bully

At the start of the video, the pair of bullies could be seen taking turns to kick the victim. The victim was heard saying "please" and "I'm sorry" to the shirtless boy, who he referred to as 'Hafiz'.Sadly, his pleading fell on deaf ears as the second bully in school uniform threw at least 10 punches and two kicks before a student in blue T-shirt separated the victim from the two bullies.

How A Photo And A Group Of Foreigners Changed The Life Of A Girl Wearing A Pink Bracelet

Recently, Richard Harold Dick Smith, an Australian entrepreneur, was on a train tour of India, when he noticed an 8-year-old girl from a homeless family, playing near a railway tracks under a bridge.
He photographed the girl wearing nothing except a pink bracelet.

After he left India, Mr. Smith, who was desperate to help the family out in any manner possible, enlisted the help of his friends Chris Bray and his wife Jess Bray to help look for the girl and her family

With just a hazy photograph of the little girl in a pink bracelet and a GPS location, Chris and Jess left for India to look for the girl and her family to help them with accommodation and funding her education

Chris and Jess sitting in a rickshaw.
Image via Chris Bray

The couple, who had just three days to find the girl and her family, somehow managed to connect with a bank manager and a university professor in the Indian city of Vadodara (where the photo was taken), who was the friend of a friend of a friend of the father of a friend of Chris.Talk about six degrees of separation! Below is how they found the girl in the photo:

DAY 1
They landed in Vadodara, boarded a rickshaw to our hotel

Image via Chris Bray

They had emailed ahead and this receptionist, Jayati, was keen to try and help the couple, acting as their Hindi/English translator

Jayati the hotel receptionist.
Image via Chris Bray

They found the bridge known as Polytechnic Bridge/Shastri Bridge

Chris with Jayati.
Image via Chris Bray

DAY 2
Chris and Jess went to the bridge without Jayati. However, there were various families around and they couldn't recognise anyone.

Image via Chris Bray

The locals didn't speak English at all, only Hindi, but with the help of their contacts, they returned to the bridge, passed around the photo that Mr. Smith took and asked if anyone recognised anyone

Image via Chris Bray

After everyone denied knowing anyone in the photo, Chris saw this man in a red shirt with a plastic leg who was also in their photo

Image via Chris Bray

Then a woman recognised the girl with the pink bracelet and pointed towards a woman she said was the girl's mother

Image via Chris Bray

She sent for her daughter, who was playing in the back. She still had the pink bracelets on. Her name is Divya, meaning 'divine light'.

Image via Chris Bray

With all eyes on her, Divya, who thought she must have been in trouble, was initially very shy and also a little upset

Image via Chris Bray

After Chris explained the whole situation to Divya and her family, they met the whole family. She has two brothers, 7 and 2 years old, both who were also in the original photo.

Image via Chris Bray

"The parents had been living under the bridge for 12 years, and Divya had been born there just under the bridge without any nurse etc. As the father was away at work (a plasterer, earning USD4-6 per day, not enough to afford even a slum house while also caring for three kids) we decided it was best to wait until the dad came home from work to discuss with the whole family to see if there was a way we could help. Dr. Chellani told them to meet at the Bank that afternoon. We even had to pre-warn the security guard to actually let them in."

Divya with her mother, father and two siblings at the bank

Image via Chris Bray

"We met the dad for the first time, and mercifully it turned out that he doesn't drink or smoke (the whole state of Gujarat is a 'dry state' and alcohol is illegal, but there is, of course, a thriving black market). We believed them too, he certainly presented better than many of the other red-eyed, hungover men under the bridge - he seems like a genuine, hard working man, loves his family, and just struggling to get ahead."

DAY 3
They all met up again at the bank. Chris and his contacts started the process to open a bank account for the girl, with the mother as the guardian, so that Mr. Smith could deposit rent every month, which would then be automatically transferred to the rental account.

Image via Chris Bray

"Dr. Chellani suggested we write up a formal contract linked to the account, specifying what the funds are allowed to be used for (Rent, and furthering the girls education), and to give them confidence that this was to be ongoing, a minimum guarantee of 2yrs of an agreed level of funding, after which it will be reviewed etc (although the plan is for it to be more than 10yrs).We later added a condition that Divya must attend school regularly else funding can be stopped (the principle will provide monthly attendance reports to Dr. Chellani, who is also a 2nd signatory on the account, to oversee & ensure the funds are spent correctly)."

Then they took the family shopping!

Image via Chris Bray

They let them choose what they wanted, mostly very practical stuff. Divya fell in love with this dress so they got that too!

Image via Chris Bray

Next, Divya was enrolled in a school

Celebrating 10 Years Of Facebook With A Look Back At Its Incredible Journey

Today marks 10 years since Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook from his dorm room at Harvard University. Let's have a look back at how Facebook came to be and some other interesting things related to it.

First things first, Zuckerberg released Facemash in October 2003. And, let's face it, without Facemash, Facebook may not have existed.

In October 2003, Zuckerberg and three of his classmates -- Andrew McCollum, Chris Hughes, and Dustin Moskovitz -- launched a website that let visitors compare two student pictures and determine which one was better looking than the other.

        informationweek.com

Image via deusm.com

To populate the website, Zuckerberg hacked the "facebooks" that Harvard maintained to help students identify each other, according to Harvard's student newspaper, The Crimson. A few days after launching Facemash, Harvard executives shut it down and Zuckerberg faced charges of violating copyrights, breach of security, and violating individual privacy.

        informationweek.com

Because, shortly thereafter, Zuckerberg began writing code for what would later become known as "thefacebook." And, on 4 February 2004, thefacebook.com was launched.

Within 24 hours, the website grew to between 1,200 and 1,500 users, according to Moskovitz. In the first month, more than half of Harvard's undergraduates signed up. Soon after, Zuckerberg and team opened registration to fellow Ivy League schools and Boston-area colleges and universities.

        indianexpress.com

Image via deusm.com

As it grew the firm moved to its first offices in Palo Alto, California, as Zuckerberg and his cohort moved on from Harvard.
New features launched included the 'Wall', allowing people to post information to one another in a public setting. A simple idea but one that would prove hugely successful.

        in.com

6 days after the site launched, 3 Harvard seniors accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com

Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra claimed he was instead using their ideas to build a competing product. The three complained to The Harvard Crimson and the newspaper began an investigation.

        telegraph.co.uk

Image via telegraph.co.uk

They later filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg, subsequently settling in 2008 for 1.2m shares (worth $300m at Facebook's IPO).

        telegraph.co.uk

Then in August 2005, Thefacebook.com was 'killed' and the domain name Facebook.com was purchased. And the rest, as they say, was history.

As the success of the site continued to grow, the team expanded the reach of Thefacebook to 800 colleges, to help boost users. It clearly worked as by the end of the year a total of six million users were registered.

        v3.co.uk

Image via bbcimg.co.uk

In the same year, Facebook also expanded membership eligibility to high-school students and employees of several companies, including Apple and Microsoft.

        thinkdigit.com

And by September 2006, Facebook was opened to everyone at least 13 years old with a valid email address. In the same year, Facebook rejected Yahoo's $1 billion offer for purchase.

In the year 2006, the company also launched its News Feed, allowing users to get continuous updates on what their friends were doing. The feature was controversial at the time, but soon became an integral part of the service.

        telegraph.co.uk

Image via deusm.com

Peter Thiel, Facebook's first investor and board member, said money never motivated Zuckerberg. He recalled him saying: "I don't know what I could do with the money. I'd just start another social networking site. I kind of like the one I already have."

        informationweek.com

Five years after the company launched, Facebook announced that it had turned cash-flow positive for the first time. That was in September 2009.

Traffic to Facebook increased steadily to reach 360 million users by the end of 2009, and 608 million by the end of 2010. The company introduced the 'Like' button on 9 February 2009.

        telegraph.co.uk

Image via telegraph.co.uk

SEC documents later revealed that the company brought in $777 million in revenue in 2009, nearly triple that of 2008 and significantly higher than what industry analysts had predicted.

        informationweek.com

And then Facebook went public. It held its initial public offering on May 18, 2012, one of the biggest in technology, with a peak market capitalization of more than $104 billion.

Despite a disappointing first day of trading in which shares were valued only 23 cents above the IPO price, the IPO raised $16 billion, making it the third-largest in US history. However, the value of the stock declined rapidly, and by the end of May 2012, it had lost over a quarter of its starting value.

        telegraph.co.uk

Image via deusm.com

Its user base continued to grow, and on 4 October 2012, Zuckerberg announced that the company had reached 1 billion active monthly users -- indicating that approximately 1 in 7 people on Earth is on Facebook.

        bbc.co.uk

For its 10th birthday, Facebook has put together a timeline of significant events in its own history. It reflects a bit of a selective memory.

Facebook made a Timeline of its first 10 years as a company.

The timeline is one of several features that Facebook released Monday night, on the eve of its anniversary. On Tuedsay it will unveil a product called “A Look Back” that lets users make a personal movie or slideshow of their favorite moments in their lives since they joined Facebook.

        slate.com

The company also launched a slick new iPhone app, Paper, in the App Store on Monday. Here's a detailed story about it.

7 Reasons Why Malaysians Aren’t Happy At Their Jobs But Still Don’t Leave

Feel like you’re just going through the motions at work?

Image via Giphy

It's normal to feel this way. Many Malaysians get tired of their jobs and start looking for new opportunities right before their two-year mark - some people call this the 700-day itch. Whether it's because of people, salary, work culture, or growth opportunities, Malaysians tend to switch jobs (or think of switching jobs) quite often.If you're looking for a new job opportunity with great benefits, AIA Elite Academy may be just the thing for you! Scroll down to the end of this story to find out more.

Nevertheless, not everyone who wants a career change ends up with one. Here’s why Malaysians aren’t always ready to make the switch:

1. "I'm not sure what I'm passionate about anymore"

Image via Unsplash (Edited by SAYS)

"I used to LOVE design and being creative, I would doodle in my free time on top of designing at work. But it's been six years and that passion has disappeared. Now I feel like I don't have any skills to go into a new field and I'm stuck here." - Terrence, 26

2. "I feel like trying something new, but I'm too comfortable with my current pay, job scope, and benefits"

Image via tirachardz | Freepik (Edited by SAYS)

"Two years after being in this company, I've gotten so comfortable with my friends, my job scope, not to mention the perks! I could keep on doing this, but I know I should move on and try something new. It's just gonna be really tough to get out of my comfort zone and relearn things again." - Chelsea, 31

3. "I want a career change, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to take the leap and leave behind what I've built for so long

Image via Freepik (Edited by SAYS)

"I am quite certain I want a change in career and industry. The only thing is that I've already spent so much time climbing the ladder, it would be a waste to leave and start from scratch. That's why I'm just delaying the inevitable." - Aisyah, 31

4. "I don't want to let my boss down"

Image via yanalya | Freepik (Edited by SAYS)

"My boss has been so good to me and has invested in me so much, I feel really bad about wanting to leave. But I know if I don't leave I won't be able to progress... That's why I feel so stuck in between right now." - Savi, 28

5. "I wish I could start something, but I don't know how"

Image via jcomp | Freepik (Edited by SAYS)

"It's frustrating having to work from 9-to-5 at my desk job, knowing that I would rather be out there running a business of my own. I've got so many ideas but I don't know how to set a business up or where to even start." - Antoine, 26

6. "I want to explore new areas, but I'm afraid that I'm too old to make the switch"

Image via jcomp | Freepik (Edited by SAYS)

"I studied to become an engineer to please my parents, and I've been in the field for almost 20 years now. Even though I feel enthusiastic and determined about stepping into a new industry, who's gonna hire or train an old fart like me when there are so many young fresh grads out there?" - Kenny, 43

7. "I don't know if I can do it on my own"

Image via jcomp | Freepik (Edited by SAYS)

"One of my fears about starting something new is that I won't be able to cope with the stress and challenges on my own. It's different when you're working with a team and when you are the only one in the team." - Kelly, 29

If you're feeling frustrated at work and looking for something more in your career, you've probably got the 700-day itch. Watch the video below to see if you can relate:

Warga Emas Lesap RM64K Dari Akaun Simpanan Lepas Isi Maklumat Dari Laman Web Palsu BNM

Seorang perunding sebuah hospital di Kuantan dikatakan telah hilang wang simpanan hampir RM64,000 selepas berkongsi maklumat peribadi perbankan di laman web palsu milik Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)

Menurut pihak polis, laman web palsu tersebut kononnya milik Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) telah berjaya memperdaya mangsa untuk mengisi segala maklumat peribadinya sehingga menyebabkan kehilangan wang simpanan yang begitu banyak.

Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial Pahang Supt Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof, berkata mangsa berusia 60 tahun itu mendakwa dia hanya menyedari kehilangan wang itu semalam, 13 April

Menurut laporan, mangsa telah berurusan dengan tiga lelaki yang kononnya daripada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) dan pihak polis selama dua hari sebelum menyedari bahawa wang simpanannya itu telah lesap.Dalam laporan polis yang dibuat oleh mangsa, dia menyatakan bahawa telah dihubungi suspek pertama pada Sabtu lalu, 11 April, yang telah memperkenalkan diri sebagai salah seorang pegawai SPRM Putrajaya bagi menyiasat kegagalan mangsa untuk membayar cukai pendapatan sebuah syarikat perabot yang kononnya didaftarkan atas nama mangsa.

Namun, mangsa menegaskan bahawa dia tidak pernah membuka syarikat dikatakan beralamat di Perak.
Walau bagaimanapun, ketiga-tiga suspek menggunakan cara yang lebih 'licik' untuk memperdaya mangsa.

Suspek pertama telah memindahkan talian kepada suspek kedua yang telah memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai anggota polis berpangkat sarjan. Suspek kedua pula mendakwa nama mangsa dikaitkan dengan kes dadah yang kononnya siasatan dilakukan oleh pegawai polis bergelar Datuk dan menyebabkan talian tersebut disambungkan kepada suspek terakhir.Mohd Wazir berkata mangsa yang mendakwa keliru dengan dakwaan tersebut telah dinasihatkan oleh ‘Datuk’ itu untuk membuka pautan ke laman web yang dikatakan milik BNM dan mengisi maklumat seperti diminta kononnya atas tujuan siasatan.

Mangsa seterusnya telah memasukkan semua maklumat peribadi berkaitan dua akaun bank yang dimiliki dan telah membuat semakan baki secara online petang semalam, 13 April

Mangsa turut memberitahu telah melihat beberapa transaksi pemindahan wang yang tidak dilakukannya.Sehubungan itu, mangsa membuat laporan di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Kuantan di sini semalam, dan siasatan dijalankan mengikut Seksyen 420 Kanun Keseksaan yang membawa hukuman penjara maksimum 10 tahun dan sebat dan boleh didenda, jika sabit kesalahan.

Banyak perkara yang sangat hebat berlaku sepanjang konsert Demi Lovato dilansungkan. Antara yang kami tak dapat lupakan adalah:

1. Apabila artis tempatan, Zun Zen Wong membuat persembahan pembukaan dengan menyanyikan lagu 'See You Again' oleh Wiz Khalifa dan Charlie Puth

Lagu ini memang sering menyentuh perasaan pendengar. Lagi-lagi apabila dinyanyikan dengan suara yang merdu.

2. Apabila Demi Lovato mulakan persembahan 'DEMI World Tour' dengan lagu 'Really Don't Care'
