KK Man Shares How His Movie-Watching Experience Was Ruined After He Was Attacked By A Rat

Over the weekend, a Facebook user from Kota Kinabalu took to his account to share how a rat attacked him multiple times while he was watching a two-hour movie at Growball Cinemax in the city

According to the Facebook user, who goes by the pseudonym, Hyim A Ny, it wasn't just him whose experienced was ruined but other movie-goers' too. However, it was personally traumatising for him as one particular rat kept coming back to his seat."What a rat, it does not run even when it is chased away," he wrote on his Facebook post, adding that it kept appearing throughout the duration of the two-hour movie at cinema hall 8 despite him trying to shoo it away with his flip-flops.

He claims that he had to switch seats but it didn't help

The Sabahan claimed that the rat had made the cinema hall its home as he wasn't scared of getting close to people. He also claimed that the cinema hall smelt bad."If this rat was lost and somehow found its way into the cinema, it wouldn't have had the guts to get this close to us. You could hear other people in the cinema shrieking. I guess I wasn’t the only one in there to experience this. Please take care of the cleanliness here," Hyim wrote on his Facebook post on 13 January.

He also shared a video of the rat seen moving near his drink:

His Facebook post, at the time of writing this story, has gone viral with over 5k shares and more than 275k views on the short video

In the comment section of the post, a guy posted photos of the hall he took last year. It's a mess, with a rat seen lurking under the seats near leftover food packagings.

Meanwhile, Growball Cinemax has since released a statement on their Facebook page. According to which, the outlet is carrying out on-going cleaning and upgrading works for its theatre halls.

"We would like to apologise for the viral incident that occurred."We are in the process of a massive cleaning and we will definitely upgrade all the halls in stages. We hope that you can be patient and give us time to do it in stages," Growball said, adding that they would like to thank everyone for their "advice, views and comments" and that they are on a quest to further develop their infrastructure.The entertainment out also said that it would personally apologise to the customer and hopes that he can come forward so they could compensate him.

After 32 Years, Microsoft Paint Might Be Killed Off For Good

Microsoft Paint, the first app you used to create "art" with paint buckets and pencil might be facing the axe from its creator

Image via Giphy

Microsoft announced last week that it will stop actively developing Paint starting with a fall update to Windows 10, its flagship operating system. As a result, Paint could be removed altogether in future updates.

However, Microsoft played down the news in a statement, noting that Paint will continue to be available for free download

Image via Microsoft

"Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia around MS Paint. If there’s anything we learned, it’s that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans.MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free," the company said in a statement.

The company also took the chance to remind people that Paint 3D can do most of what the original application can

Image via PC World

Microsoft last October revealed Paint 3D, a revamped spinoff that allows users to create 3D images. Paint 3D will come with the current and future versions of Windows.

Still, the news was met with real and exaggerated dismay as people mourned the loss of the app. The word “Paint” even began trending worldwide on Twitter.

Paint has gained a strong following after it was released in 1985

The easy-to-use tool lets users crop and resize images, as well as create simple drawings and doodles. For those of us who grew up using it, the app was a way to make silly drawings. But for professional designers, Paint was often the first tool they used to do the work that eventually became their passion and career.

Don't let Paint's simple mechanics fool you, dozens of artists have used the app to craft amazingly detailed works of art

M'sian Coding Students Place 2nd In Global Ecological Hackathon To Identify Plankton

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

A team of four Malaysians recently won runner-up in an international ecological hackathon, the PlankThon Challenge, launched by a French transnational company in conjunction with World Oceans Day

On 26 and 27 June, a team from 42 Kuala Lumpur (42KL) — a tuition-free computer programming school based in Sunway — took on a 48-hour challenge to create a machine learning programme to identify different types of plankton to be used by scientists at sea.The competition, organised by French resource management company Veolia and non-profit environmental organisation Tara Ocean Foundation, wanted data science students to come up with a model that could classify 130,000 photos of plankton taken by the foundation's current expedition in the Atlantic Ocean.Eventually, the best model will be used on board the schooner Tara for future scientific expeditions – capturing images of plankton in water samples and studying their role as the base of the oceanic food chain.

The Tara schooner, supported by the Veolia Foundation, has been sailing the world's oceans and observing plankton since 2009.

Suresh Chetty, Hans Hazairi, Gates Tan, and Bunyod Shamsiddinov — all coming from different backgrounds around Malaysia — came ahead of 35 teams from around the world

Together, not only did they manage to secure a seat in the Top Eight finals, but they were also the only team to successfully develop a machine learning model with plankton identification accuracy higher than the current system used onboard the schooner."The challenge was immense as none of us had any prior exposure to machine learning, and I had never explored Python programming language before. So, we initially just took it as an opportunity for us to speed-learn machine learning models," said 24-year-old Tan, who was a medical graduate prior to picking up programming at 42KL.Meanwhile, 19-year-old Bunyod, who is one of the youngest students at 42KL, said, "Right after we registered for the event, we studied various machine learning videos and tutorials and we were confident before the hackathon.""But when it started, we quickly realised that everything that we had studied before was useless and we had to develop something much bigger than just a beginner model. So, there was a lot of going back to the drawing board for us."

However, through their experience of working together, the team managed to come up with an approach to build an algorithm and a way to visualise the data

"Learning about machine learning itself in 48 hours, complete with its jargon and concepts, was the biggest challenge. So, what we did was use a pre-trained model and retrained it by tweaking some parameters," said 26-year-old Hans, a former civil engineer who resigned from his previous role to upskill himself.Meanwhile, Suresh, a 46-year-old former freelance programmer, said it was a team effort that got them that far: "It was definitely collaborative. You bring what you know to the party, nobody needed to stand out and we saw everything fall into place."

Clockwise from top left: Bunyod, Suresh, Hans, and Tan.

Making it to the finals, the team — named 'HawaiianBobtailGreen7', after their initials — was invited to present their model in front of a panel of judges composed of Veolia and Tara Ocean Foundation employees through a video conference

While the team had the most accurate machine learning model, they lost the top spot due to the energy consumption needed to operate their model in the middle of the ocean with no Internet access."They were very transparent with us on where we did not do as well as the top placed team, but we were just surprised that we got this far," said the team.Coming in second place, the team won EUR6,000 (RM29,840) worth of computer hardware, low-tech equipment, and Raspberry Pi computer accessories.They just barely missed out on the first place prize of getting invited to Lorient, France to meet the schooner's scientific team when it returns from its two-year expedition on marine microbiome in October 2022.

The four of them are now currently focused on improving their machine-learning model in hopes that it can be applied in other industries

They are most likely looking at agriculture, as food security is a major concern in Malaysia."In the future, we are hoping to apply this model and learning to be used for other types of identification, such as the health of our plants and vegetables," said the team, eyeing a possible future project with Sunway FutureX Farms, Malaysia's first urban farming innovation hub.

Rich Malaysians Are Getting Richer Despite Economic Woes

Most people may agree that the past year has been tough as the economy hit tumultuous times.

But it appears that most Malaysians tycoons have little to worry as they seemed unaffected by the economic turmoil and just got wealthier.

A Forbes report revealed that the richest people in Malaysia saw their fortunes rise despite tough times. Robert Kuok, who is dubbed as the 'Sugar King of Asia', secured the top spot on the Forbes' Malaysia's 50 Richest list for the 12th consecutive year with a net worth of USD11.4 billion (RM50.7 billion). His net worth has gone up by USD1.4 billion, up from USD10 billion previously.Next in the list is Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan with a net worth of USD6.8 billion (RM30.3 billion), up from USD5.3 billion last year. The co-founder of the Hong Leong Group Malaysia grabbed the second spot from Tan Sri Ananda Krishnan.  Ananda dropped to the third rank as his wealth declined 12.2% to USD6.5 billion in the midst of uncertainties around his debt-laden Indian telecom firm Aircel and falling shares of his telecom outfit Maxis and oilfield-services-provider Bumi Armada.

Malaysia's Top 10 Richest People on Forbes list.

Who are the big winners?

1. CHEN LIP KEONG (RANK No. 11)How much did he gain? By 158% to USD1.6 billion net worth.How did he do it? His expanding Cambodian casino builds links to China's tourism sector.2. SYED AZMAN IBRAHIM (RANK No. 26)How much did he gain? By 145% to USD600 million net worth.How did he do it? Firmer oil prices helped his business chartering helicopters to the oil-and-gas sector. 3. DAVID KONG a.k.a Kong Hon Kong (RANK No. 24)How much did he gain? 10 spots up to USD700 million net worth.How did he do it? He took his company private with a USD1.1 billion deal. 4. DESMOND LIM SIEW CHOON (RANK No. 16)How much did he gain? From USD905million to USD1 billion net worth.How did he do it? 10.5% gain in investor.

Who are the biggest losers?

Loh Kian Chong's (Rank No. 50) net worth fell by 24% and almost knocked him off the list. Two other businessmen were relegated from the top 50 list namely palm oil tycoon, Freddy Lim Nyuk Sang, and 'Condom King', Goh Siang.

It is noted that the minimum net worth to make it on the list this year is USD210 million, an increase from last year's USD195 million

According to Forbes, the list was "compiled using information from the individuals, stock exchanges, analysts, private data bases, government agencies and other sources." It is said that the net worths were based on stock prices and exchange rates as of the close of markets on 17 February.  Forbes also explained that private companies were valued by using financial ratios and other comparisons with similar publicly traded companies.Visit Forbes' website for the full Malaysia's 50 Richest list.

This New Telco Lets You Customise Your Mobile Plan Any Way You Want

A new telco has entered the market with claims of being "the country's first truly customisable digital mobile service"

    We’re at the launch of Yoodo, a new telco entering the Malaysian market. The service is fully customisable - with packages across voice, data, messaging, and content. More on Insta Stories! #yoodomy #youdoitbetter A post shared by  SAYS (@saysdotcom) on Jan 29, 2018 at 6:19pm PST

That telco is Yoodo, a digital-based mobile service with the ability to let users customise plans according to their preference. What this means is that you get to choose and pay for what you truly need in a mobile plan – whether that may be more data or more call minutes.

The service lets you pick the amount of data, calls, and SMS you need each month, and pay for just that

Image via SAYS

Do you require more data but less call time this month? Sure, just adjust the sliders accordingly and you're all set.Data prices start at RM20/month for 2GB, with the maximum capped at RM150/month for 100GB. The number of call minutes and SMS start at RM5/month for 50 minutes, and RM3/month for 50 SMS respectively. If you're unhappy with your plan selection, you can choose to amend it anytime at no additional charges. However, do note that Yoodo's plans renew automatically at the end of every month, so any changes should be made before that.

As Yoodo is a digital-based telco, the signup process and customer service are done exclusively through the app

Image via SAYS

Upon registering, you can pick a new 011 mobile number or port in their existing number at no additional cost.The SIM card can be delivered to you via Standard delivery which is free and takes up to three days. Alternatively, the Express option promises delivery within 24 hours through local on-demand delivery provider GoGet.

Yoodo also offers a special roaming add-on. For just RM10/day, you can use your existing data, calls, and SMS in 12 selected countries.

Image via Yoodo

The countries are India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, and Brunei. Roaming features are not available in countries other than the 12 listed but Yoodo said more countries will be added to the list very soon.

Yoodo is available on both Android and iOS devices

Image via Yoodo

You can download the app on iTunes or Google Playstore. For more information and updates, head on over to its official website. Yoodo is owned and operated by Celcom Axiata.

TM has rolled out a similar service too under its Unifi umbrella:

Unifi Mobile is serviced almost entirely via an app.

Crazy Roaming Charges And Other Connection Problems Nobody Needs On Their Next Trip

When it comes to staying connected on a trip, there are three kinds of people:

			1. The loyal ones who stick by their telco's roaming plan 2. The adventurous ones who find a local SIM card the moment they land at the airport 3. The optimistic ones who rely completely on whatever free WiFi they can get

Roaming is relatively convenient (and you get to keep your number!), but if you have to go through these setbacks just ONE more time...

When you run into problems with your credit card, and calling your bank back home has the potential to empty out your life savings

Image via onehallyu.com

It doesn't get any worse than getting your credit card blocked on a shopping trip, being mercilessly put on hold for a good 30 minutes, and just when you're about to speak to the customer service rep, the call disconnects...

Image via PC World

And then there's this little present to look forward to when you get home.

When your check-in call to your Airbnb host gets hopelessly lost in translation, and you start getting more concerned about your phone bill than getting a roof over your head

Image via Reddit

When you're lost trying to find that hipster makan place your friend swears by, and the only way to find it is to make a pricey SOS call back to Malaysia

Image via Tumblr

None of the locals seem to understand a word you say, and you're forced to make the impossible choice between a bank-breaking call or forgo what is to be the most life-changing slice of pizza you'll ever have.

Getting a local SIM card is often the cheaper option, but not without its interesting mix of challenges:

When you buy a local SIM card and the instructions to activate it are not in a language you can even begin to understand

Image via delcampe.net

"Umm, yeah, sure..."

Which sometimes also means you have no idea how to top up the credit on your phone...

Image via Banker In The Sun

That awkward moment when your comprehension extends far enough to understand it's a top up card, but not far enough to understand how to actually do it.

When you worry that you might miss an important call because the person doesn't know your local number

Image via Tumblr

"What if that recruiter from last month's job interview suddenly decides to call?"

Sometimes, taking advantage of free WiFi seems like the best solution. Except...

When you drop in to a cafe to make a call, but only realise their "free" WiFi requires an existing local account of some sort

Image via Wi-Fi Net News

And you've went ahead and bought a cup of coffee you totally didn't need and everything.

When the WiFi speed in your hotel room is determined to be the ultimate test of patience

Image via Tumblr

And the only way to have slightly faster Internet requires you to go down to the lobby in your Adventure Time PJs and bedroom slippers.

When you make calls via WiFi, and everything is delayed by a crucial few seconds

Image via Wiffle Gif

"I just had the most amazing day! Went to the Grand Bazaar today and bought you a scarf I think you'd love! Then we went to Eminönü for the best fish sandwiches we've ever had!"(after 3 seconds) "So what did you do today? Did you make it to the Grand Bazaar?" NOPE.

Clearly, whichever route you choose there's bound to be some perks to enjoy and some annoyances to deal with

Sometimes, you just have to decide whether keeping your number is worth the crazy expensive call rates they come with. Sure, there's the wallet-friendly option of local SIM cards, but knowing life's twisted turns, your local number might just mean a missed important call.  When all else fails, living on free WiFi seems like a good plan. Except for when you're at the mercy of their speed (or lack of it), and staying connected requires staying put in one location.

There are several roaming apps available today that make it easier for savvy travellers to stay connected on the go

Apps like FLEXIROAM could save you a fortune on roaming call charges with features like unlimited calls and messaging

If your contacts are FLEXIROAM users as well, you can make voice and video calls to them for free, while charges for calls to local and international numbers are kept minimal with local rates. The app also allows you to keep your existing phone number, which makes it that much easier for everyone to keep in touch with you.

What You Do Everyday Might Make Your Teeth Look Like THis

PHOTO: What drinking too much soda does to your teeth

Image via businessinsider.com

FULL STORY: The heavy consumption of diet soda can be as damaging to the teeth

Chronic, excessive consumption of soda can damage teeth as badly as methamphetamine or crack cocaine, a new study from journal General Dentistry claims.

        businessinsider.com

The dentitions of individuals who are addicted to methamphetamines or crack cocaine can be misdiagnosed as dental caries rather than generalized dental erosion, a condition that also is associated with chronic excessive consumption of soda

        nih.gov

A single mother in early thirties says she drank 2 liters of diet soda daily. Diet soda contains citric acid which has been shown to eat away at our protective tooth enamel layer.
Image via businessinsider.com

The study compared the mouths of 3 adults: a woman in her early-30s who drank 2 liters of diet soda every day for the past 3-5 years; A 29-year-old who had been addicted to methamphetamine for at least 3 years; and a 51-year-old who had previously abused crack cocaine for 18 years

        businessinsider.com

Lead author Mohamed Bassiouny of Philadelphia's Temple University found that each patient experienced nearly identical, severe tooth erosion due to the high levels of acid in each "drug" — meth, crack, or soda.

        nih.gov

In each case, patients' remaining teeth were destroyed beyond the point of saving and had to be removed. The soda-drinker now has dentures.

The American Beverage Association, which represents the soft drink industry, believes that likening carbonated beverages to illegal drugs is an unfair comparison.

Semasa travel, elakkan memakai pakaian yang buatkan orang pandang kau dua kali. Topi besar, cermin mata hitam macam side mirror, kamera tergantung pada leher. Itu adalah clear sign yang kau ni pelancong. Seeloknya pakai pakaian yang sama macam orang lain.Pakaian sesuai dan umum adalah seluar dan baju biasa berwarna sederhana macam biru gelap, kelabu gelap. Bukan warna kuning, oren, pink. Pakaian macam ni akan buatkan kau dipenuhi ciri locality dan sememangnya berasal dari tempat kau nak lawat tu, dan tidak jadikan kau target.

2. Sentiasa tahu keberadaan

Image via twimg.com

Aurora beritahu, ada seorang pegawai Duta ni sentiasa print peta dari google map tentang kawasan yang dia akan pergi. Dia akan pastikan dia tahu mana Duta Malaysia, dia tahu dimana balai polis, dan dia juga tahu jalan untuk pergi ke Airport.Dia akan simpan peta ni dalam beg untuk kegunaan pantas, dan di bahagian belakang peta, dia akan isi salinan pasport dia serta no telefon duta Malaysia untuk kecemasan kalau terjadi apa apa.

3. Sentiasa sembunyikan kewarganegaraan anda

Terdapat pelbagai kes dari sindiket atau kumpulan jenayah yang sasarkan mangsa megikut kewarganegaraan anda. Contoh untuk tujuan penculikan atau rompakan. Dari maklumat nationality, boleh tahu tahap nilai anda.Sembunyikan logo pasport anda. Gunakan pasport cover. Jangan tampal pelekat pada bagasi maklumat negara anda. Hal ini termasuklah dengan logo pada baju. Sentiasa sembunyikan maklumat peribadi anda, dan tunjuk pada mereka yang layak sahaja, contohnya: Pegawai Imigresen.

4. Sembunyikan perjalanan anda

Dalam berbual dengan orang asing, sentiasa berwaspada. Gunakan nama samaran. Contoh, nama kau Adam Firdausi. Kawan-kawan panggil Adam, jadi kau gunakan nama Firdausi atau Fir sebagai cover kau. Elakkan beritahu detail tentang mana kau nak fly.Jangan tipu, cakap kau nak pergi London, tapi last sekali kau jumpa satu flight dengan orang tadi, on the way ke Bangkok. So keadaan jadi awkward, dan timbulkan syak wasangka yang tidak perlu. Beritahu je kau ke 'Bangkok, tapi tak book hotel lagi' even kau dah book hotel.So lokasi umum kau nak pegi mana itu jelas, tapi tak tahu mana actual spot kau nak duduk.  So maklumat berjaya disembunyikan.

5. Sentiasa ada dua wallet dalam poket anda

Ini adalah tips khas dari Aurora yang dia belajar dari seorang veteran polis yang sering masuk ke Filipina dan Thailand. Pegawai ni sentiasa ada dua wallet dalam poket dan diisi dengan duit yang rendah nilai.Apabila berlaku kes rompakan, pegawai ni akan capai poket belakang sebelah kanan yang ada dalam 15$ sebagai wallet dummy dan beri pada perompak. Kau akan lebih selamat jika ikut tips ini. No need to kill the robber.

Ingat semua, sentiasa berhati-hati ketika berada di negara orang!

M'sian Policewoman Arrested After Going Viral In 3 Videos For Her Shouty & Rude Behaviour

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

A policewoman was arrested after three videos showing her rude behaviour toward members of the public and her colleagues went viral over the weekend

The Gombak district police headquarters arrested the 35-year-old senior police officer with the rank of inspector, said to be attached to the Bukit Aman Commercial Crimes Investigation Department (CCID), at 1.20am yesterday, 18 June, reported New Straits Times.Brickfields police chief ACP Amihizam Abdul Shukor said the suspect will be investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for using a word or gesture intended to insult the modesty of a person and Section 14 of the Minor Offenses Act 1955 for insulting behaviour.

A video of the 35-year-old senior police officer berating a lower-ranked officer went viral last week.

The policewoman has been receiving flak after a video showing her publicly berating lower-ranking colleagues in Gombak went viral on social media

In a 25-second video that surfaced last Friday, 16 June, the policewoman with over 11,000 followers on Facebook can be seen shouting at a lance corporal at an eatery."You're only a lance corporal, you don't deserve it, you're lower ranking than me. The way you talk is like an OCPD (police chief). You don't deserve to do so," she upbraids while pointing a finger at her colleague."Lans koperal lah, kau. Pangkat dah lah rendah (You are just lance corporal. Your rank is low)," she reiterates as a group of bystanders witness her outburst.New Straits Times reported that she was believed to be involved in debt collection on behalf of a friend at the time.The altercation happened after the officers requested to see her authority card.The video of the suspect berating her colleagues can be found below:

After the aforementioned video went viral, a second video surfaced, showing her shouting at a group of people at a temple, with a person demanding that she "get out"

"Get out, get out! I think she belongs in a mental ward," a woman's voice can be heard saying in retort.The policewoman, who is in plain clothes during the incident, can be seen shouting at the group while being held back by a man. He is likely trying to stop her from escalating the dispute further.

The third video shows her harassing a family at a Kuala Lumpur shopping mall's parking lot

Amihizam confirmed that a 27-year-old woman lodged a police report over the brawl that happened at 5.26pm last Friday."A confrontation arose when the policewoman wanted to park her vehicle next to the complainant's car, but the latter's driver and back passenger doors were open," New Straits Times quoted the district police chief as saying."The complainant said her grandmother was changing her niece's diaper at that time. Frustrated, the suspect honked her vehicle and was seen shouting and scolding the complainant and her family members."The person, who is now being investigated, also disparaged the complainant for her sexy-looking attire and recorded a video. The conflict was resolved by a man and his wife, who witnessed the incident. The complainant then proceeded to enter the shopping centre," he said.In the one-minute-and-31-second video, the policewoman can be heard commenting on the victim's clothing, saying, "Cantik tak pakaian itu? Dengan pants putih, baju putih. Sexy kan? (Isn't her outfit beautiful? She's wearing white pants and a white top. Sexy, right?)"The police said the suspect will undergo a mental health examination, and if any wrongdoing is found, disciplinary action will be taken against her.The video of the suspect harassing the family can be found below:

Sudahkah Anda Dengar Lagu 'Joget Selfie Raya' Ini?

Nak menjadikan sesebuah lagu raya itu evergreen dan tak lapuk sepanjang zaman memang bukan mudah

Ada banyak lagu raya yang mudah dilupakan. Tetapi ada juga lagu raya zaman moden yang masih diputarkan sehingga ke hari ini, seperti lagu Anugerah Syawal dari Bunkface dan lagu Dato' Siti Nurhaliza.

Namun begitu kami yakin, lagu Joget Selfie Raya dari penyanyi yang menggelarkan dirinya L'Zzay ini juga bakal menjadi salah satu lagu raya yang viral dan evergreen tahun ini

×

Lagu yang dimuatnaik di channel Vevo L'Zzay ini menceritakan tentang....apa lagi kalau bukan selfie di hari raya. Lagu ini mempunyai rentak yang catchy dan liriknya kena dengan era muda mudi masa kini.

L'Zzay (disebut El-zey) merupakan seorang penyanyi dan penggubah lagu di bawah naungan Joe PRC dan Sony International Malaysia

Image via Instagram lzzayaffandy

Berasal dari Kuala Lumpur, menurut Twitter L'Zzay, selain dari berkecimpung dalam dunia muzik, beliau juga merupakan seorang penterjemah di IKEA Malaysia.

Berbalik kepada lagu Joget Selfie Raya, lirik lagu ini ada menyentuh tentang tentang manisnya si hijabista dan kumis ala Wak Doyok si teruna di hari raya

Click to Reveal

Image via LZzayVEVO

Ini bakal menjadikan  winning point untuk lagi ini viral di kalangan remaja dan belia. Tak cukup dengan itu, lirik lagu ini turut memesan supaya selfie hari raya diletakkan #throwbackraya.

Lagu comel ini juga diserikan dengan pantun raya yang diberi nafas baru

Image via LZzayVEVO

"Mintak kak, nak selfie satu,Sebelum upload jangan lupa edit duluLetak hashtag #ootd baju baru"Memang tergelak dibuatnya. Dari mana agaknya L'Zzay dapat idea menggubah lirik lagu sekreatif ini agaknya ya? Kurma apa dia makan?

Tak dilupa pesanan dalam lagu ini, kalau ke pusara jangan nak berselfie pula. Ha, betul tu! Biarlah kita bersederhana kena dengan tempatnya.

Image via LZzayVEVO

Apa-apapun, kudos kami ucapkan kepada L'Zzay atas terhasilnya lagu yang sedap didengari dan lain daripada yang lain ini

Image via LZzayVEVO

Ini membuktikan golongan muda seperti L'Zzay masih menghargai lagu rentak lama dan mahu merapatkan ikatan kekeluargaan, walaupun zaman telah berubah dengan adanya kepelbagaian teknologi. Cuma caranya haruslah sejajar dengan zaman moden, betul tak L'Zzay?

Siapa kata selfie tiada manfaat? Di pagi raya, ia boleh jadi pengikat kasih sesama ahli keluarga.

Image via LZzayVEVO

Bagi yang serius nak berselfie di pagi raya, apa kata cuba Asus Zenfone dengan kamera 13 megapiksel ini:

                The New 13-Megapixel Asus Zenfone Could Be The Ultimate Selfie Machine

Within 24 hours since its launch, Malaysians have contributed more than RM7 million to the fund that was set up to help ease the burden of the Government's debts

Image via Malay Mail

As donations came pouring in, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said that the amount was reached at 3pm on 31 May."We are humbled by the magnanimity of Malaysians who have been channelling non-stop funds to help the Government repay the national debt of over RM1 trillion."Truly, Malaysians have taken their patriotism to greater heights, willing to part with their allowances, and spare cash to rebuild the nation," Lim said at a press conference, reported by The Star.

He thanked Malaysians for their generosity and assured that the money will not be used for anything else except to reduce the national debt

"It's up to people how much they want to donate, it can be big or small," he said, adding that all the money collected will be audited."It's one way for Malaysians to show they are sehati, sejiwa, seraga (one heart, one spirit, one body) with the country."

The trust fund was set up on 30 May after many Malaysians expressed their desire to help

Activist and law graduate Shazarina Bakti was the first Malaysian to have initiated one of the crowdfunding campaigns which collected up to RM13,476.57.The Tabung Harapan fund is still currently open for donations, with the latest amounts shown on the Finance Ministry website at 3pm daily."All the monies donated are tax deductible and so Malaysians are advised to keep their receipts for transactions," he added.Donations are only accepted in Ringgit and can be deposited into this Maybank account number - 566010626452.

We Asked Malaysians What They Actually Want In A Home. Here Are Their Answers

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by ParkCity Group.

What is the most important thing to you in a home?

Image via ParkCity Group

Most people will tell you that size and location are the top two things to look out for, but there are actually many other factors to consider when buying a property.Nowadays, post-pandemic, the things that Malaysians prioritise have definitely changed.

We asked a few Malaysians what they really wanted in a home, and here's what they said:

1. "I would rather have a smaller unit that maximises every sq ft, than a big unit with wasted space"

Photo used for illustration purposes only.
Image via Norbert Levajsics/Unsplash

"While house hunting these past few months, one thing I realised is that a 900 sq ft unit with a good layout can feel even more spacious than a 1,200 sq ft unit."That's why I would like to find a home that is designed in a way that is functional and flexible. When a place is well thought out, that's 50% of the work done already. If a place is 'spacious' but poorly designed, it limits what you can do with the space."Another thing that I wish I could have is aesthetic common areas filled with greenery. A lot of units I've seen so far look nice on the inside, but the whole experience of walking from your car park to the entrance of your unit is important too, you know!"- Justin, 31 years old

2. "One thing I cannot tahan is having to drive through a 30-minute jam just to get groceries, go to gym, or do daily tasks. That's why having basic integrated facilities is a plus point for me!"

Photo used for illustration purposes only.
Image via Tara Clark/Unsplash

"The problem with where I'm currently staying is that though it's a central location, it gets really jammed, so even to get out of the house to go somewhere nearby, I have to allocate at least half an hour."This is the reason why I prefer staying at a place that has at least the basic necessities within walking distance, or better still, as part of the development. For me, I appreciate the convenience of being able to go downstairs just to grab a bottle of sauce or a pack of rice."If the place comes with amenities like a kindergarten, proper gym, clinic, and cafés, then even better."- Chien, 35 years old

3. "I like to host people, so my ideal home should definitely have the space for parties and get-togethers"

Photo used for illustration purposes only.
Image via No Revisions/Unsplash

"I really enjoy hosting BBQs, watch parties, and hangouts with friends, but it's not as easy since I'm renting a place with other housemates."In the future, my dream home would be one that includes areas where I can host people, beyond the confines of my unit itself. Whether it's a big communal kitchen, open co-working spaces, or a movie room, these are the kinds of facilities that I would love to have in a home."For me, it's these little perks that makes a big difference."- Anesh, 29 years old

All in all, what Malaysians value in a home is slowly shifting.
Beyond the sq ft and location, most people are looking for the convenience of having multiple areas to work, study, play, and relax.

With these things in mind, property developer ParkCity is staying a step ahead by introducing a project that meets the changing landscape of a post-pandemic lifestyle

Noöra's Floating Yoga Deck

Introducing Noöra, the latest addition to award-winning township Desa ParkCity since the pandemic. It incorporates a new holistic communal lifestyle filled with ample inventive working and social spaces, and is adorned with lush landscapes that promote a sustainable environment.What makes it stand out is that the developer worked together with a world-class team, consisting of an architect, interior designer, and landscape and Scandinavian advisory consultant, to come up with the fresh concept of Desa ParkCity's newest landmark.With about 50,000 sq ft net lettable area spread over three floors of retail, it embodies Convenience, Community, and Connectivity — values that are prioritised in all ParkCity developments.

Noöra's Retail Entrance

Crafted with young and millennial homeowners in mind, Noöra's design caters to a new urban living model where one can work or relax anywhere.Designed with a post-pandemic perspective, Noöra features many private nooks and crannies throughout the building for residents to use, be it for work, study, or play.

Noöra's Co-working Space

Residents are also able to enjoy shared communal spaces that act as extensions of the personal living space. Besides the residents' co-working space, there is a communal kitchen and communal workshop to encourage social interaction and support e-commerce businesses for all demographics and generations.The entirety of the project is designed with a minimalist mindset, a.k.a. living made simple. So, while Noöra has smaller unit sizes, every corner is well-planned — functional yet aesthetic, with no space wasted.

Nevertheless, one of the biggest draws for Noöra has to be its location within the self-sustaining Desa ParkCity township

Image via Noöra (Provided to SAYS)

For homebuyers looking for an ideal, holistic living experience, Desa ParkCity is unrivalled in that regard. From beautiful greenery and landscape, to pet-friendly amenities within a maturing township, Desa ParkCity residents get the best of everything.Noöra joins ParkCity's lineup of highly-desirable homes within the township. It was designed by Serie + Multiply, the same architects who came up with luxury condominium Park Regent, which sold over 80% of its units in just over a month.

Image via Noöra (Provided to SAYS)

Slated to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022, Noöra will be a 52-storey integrated development located on a 6.63-acre plot at the southern part of Desa ParkCity. It comprises two towers ranging from one- to three-bedroom units and a dedicated retail component.To find out more, check out Noora's website.

Yen started Guiltless when she realised that there was no consignment site for people to sell off their high-end goods in Asia, despite the progressive convergence of luxury and technology. Guiltless was officially launched in Hong Kong and Singapore in January 2016.

Speaking to Wundrful, Yen recalled when she tried to sell her branded clothes and accessories to consignment sites upon her return to Hong Kong from the US, where she attended university. To her surprise, they do not take in products outside Europe and the US. Hence, Guiltless was born. Besides collecting and curating second-hand luxury goods, the site also offers new items from past collections at up to 80% off its original retail price.

"Asia’s appetite for luxury goods far exceeds those in the Western hemisphere, so it’s strange that there is no legitimate second hand consignment platform," she said.

"Even if people in Asia don't admit it, they are looking for a deal. They're looking for value for money," she told BBC. "In Europe, people carry an expensive handbag for life. In Asia, people want a new model every year."

While most of us may think that she had it easy with a rich father behind her, Yen recently revealed that she was raised in a strict environment and was not given much pocket money growing up

“The way my family brought me up was very strict. In fact, I was not given much pocket money. When I was in school, my friends' pocket money are usually much more than mine," she said in an interview with Hong Kong media, adding that her first branded clothing - a Viktor & Rolf - was gifted to her by her brother when she was 17 years old.

The reason? When Yen was a child, her father once told her that her grandmother did not wish for her to be raised like a "princess" in a wealthy family.

All that aside, Yen said that her father loves her very much and did not pile on the pressure when it comes her academic achievements

“My father kept telling me that going to school is not only about studying and getting good grades, but instead, education is meant to expand one's horizon," she said. “My father had never forced me to get an A in my exams, and he said it doesn't matter if I get a B.

Kudos to Yen Kuok for jumping into the startup industry! These Malaysian women have also made a name for themselves in their respective entrepreneurial pursuits:

IGP Rubbishes Claim That Jho Low Was In India On His Birthday

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador has refuted the claim that fugitive businessman Jho Low was in India earlier this month

The Malaysian top cop told Free Malaysia Today yesterday, 13 November, that the exclusive report by Asia Times is "fake news".The report published on Tuesday, 12 November, claimed that Jho Low, whose real name is Low Taek Jho, spent three days in India and left the country on 5 November.

The Asia Times report had quoted Indian law enforcement officers saying that Low was in the country

Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

According to the report, Low spent his birthday in Ahmedabad, the largest city in the state of Gujerat, on 4 November.The sources told Asia Times that local police monitored Low's movements, but did not arrest the fugitive financier - who has an Interpol red notice issued against him.The pan-Asia news site also reported that it was "a somewhat unlikely location" for Low, who is known for being a flamboyant partier, to throw an elaborate birthday celebration in the Indian city.

Low reportedly left Ahmedabad via Thailand-based charter airline MJets

Asia Times quoted the Indian law enforcement officers saying that Low boarded a Gulfstream G200 private jet identified by the tail number HS-VNT at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, on 5 November.The plane was heading to Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).However, MJets denied that Low was onboard on its aircraft and that suggestions to the contrary are "untrue, unfounded, and unsubstantiated".

The alleged central figure in the 1MDB scandal maintained his innocence, but agreed to forfeit up to USD1 billion (approximately RM4.1 billion) in assets last month following a deal struck between the US Justice Department and him, reported Bloomberg.It was previously speculated that Low underwent plastic surgery and now looks like a 'bear'.Asia Times reported that security experts believe Low has been using 'ground butler services' to move around countries undetected.The service, which is often used by VIPs and celebrities, allows them to not be present when their passports go through immigration checkpoints.

Previously, the IGP said the police know where Jho Low is but the country refuses to cooperate with Malaysia

Abdul Hamid, however, did not reveal the name of the country, adding that the fugitive businessman is protected by powerful people there, reported Malaysiakini.

Earlier this month, a spokesperson said Low was offered asylum by a country that upholds human rights:

                Cyprus Will Revoke Jho Low's Passport After Mistakenly Giving It To Him In 2015

This comes after a Cyprus daily reported that Archbishop Chrysostomos II endorsed Jho Low's citizenship then.

Kafe Di Pulau Pinang Ini Jual Nasi Biryani & Nasi Tomato Berharga Hanya 10 Sen. Murahnya!

Berbekalkan niat mahu bersedekah, seorang peniaga makanan di Jalan Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau, telah memulakan langkah menjual juadah dengan harga hanya 10 sen!

Image via Facebook Baen Cafe Power of Sedekah

Ibrahim Abdul Rahim, 37, pemilik Baen Cafe, telah mengambil inisiatif menjual nasi tomato dan nasi beriani kosong dengan harga hanya 10 sen sepinggan. Bukan itu sahaja, minuman yang dibancuh dengan gula dan perisa seperti sirap, teh O dan kopi O juga dijual dengan harga 10 sen segelas.“Sudah setahun saya berniaga di sini dan sejak itu juga mula menjual nasi beriani dan nasi tomato yang belum dicampur lauk dengan harga 10 sen sepinggan.

Image via Facebook Baen Cafe Power of Sedekah

“Selain itu, air yang dibancuh dengan perisa dan gula juga dijual dengan harga 10 sen, tetapi ia hanya untuk mereka yang makan di sini dan tidak boleh dibungkus,” katanya kepada akhbar Harian Metro.

Idea menjual nasi dengan harga 10 sen itu tercetus ekoran keadaan ekonomi ketika ini yang semakin meningkat di samping ingin membantu meringankan kos kehidupan pelanggan

Image via Facebook Baen Cafe Power of Sedekah

Menurut Ibrahim, “Sebelum ini, saya pernah memberi percuma setiap air minuman kepada pelanggan yang datang makan ke kedai saya, tetapi ia menimbulkan perasaan malu dalam kalangan penunjung serta ada yang tidak gemar dengan minuman percuma.“Namun, perniagaan saya ketika itu juga cukup menguntungkan kerana orang ramai datang kerana harga makanan dijual berpatutan," ujarnya.

Image via Facebook Baen Cafe Power of Sedekah

Selain daripada nasi beriyani dan nasi tomato, pengunjung di kafe tersebut juga boleh menikmati juadah lain seperti nasi campur beraneka lauk dengan harga yang jauh lebih murah daripada kedai biasa, malah harganya 50% jauh lebih murah!“Sebagai contoh, ayam goreng yang dijual RM3 di kedai lain, kami menjualnya dengan harga RM1.50, ikan cencaru yang dijual RM5 di kedai lain hanya dijual RM3 di sini,” katanya.

Menurut Ibrahim, meskipun harga jualan makanannya sangat murah jika dibandingkan dengan kedai makan yang lain namun dia masih peroleh keuntungan hasil daripada perniagaannya itu

Bahkan Ibrahim percaya rezeki keuntungannya itu diperoleh hasil daripada kesenangan serta kemudahan yang diberikannya kepada orang ramai.

Image via Facebook Baen Cafe Power of Sedekah

Ibrahim yang mengamalkan konsep bersedekah berpendapat bahawa ramai peniaga hanya menjual makanan dan minuman dengan harga murah ketika perniagaan mereka sedang merudum dan ia tidak digalakkan kerana dilihat tidak ikhlas dalam berbuat demikian.“Seharusnya, peniaga yang mahu bersedekah dalam berniaga seharusnya menjual dengan harga murah sebaik mereka mula berniaga.“Dengan menjual makanan dan minuman dengan harga yang murah, sedikit- sebanyak saya sudah bersedekah,” katanya.

Image via Facebook Baen Cafe Power of Sedekah

Tambahan lagi, Baen Cafe turut menyediakan tandas dan surau bagi kegunaan pelanggan malah sentiasa dipenuhi orang ramai ketika waktu makan tengah hari.

Baen Cafe beroperasi setiap hari dari pukul 7.00 pagi sehingga 4.00 petang.

A Singapore Lawyer Is Upset That Videos Of Him Assaulting His Female Staff Were Leaked

Samuel Seow, a high-profile entertainment lawyer in Singapore, has filed a police report after two videos were leaked that showed him verbally and physically assaulting female members of his staff

According to the 46-year-old lawyer, who released a statement on Friday, 26 April, people are "constantly and conscientiously" seeking to damage him.The assault captured in the videos, which were leaked on Thursday, 25 April 2019, had actually happened in May last year at the Samuel Seow Law Corporation.At the time, the entertainment lawyer was the Managing Director at the firm and was accused of physically and verbally assaulting two staff in separate incidents.

Image via YouTube

In one of the two videos, Samuel is seen beating and chasing after a female member of his staff as she tries to defend herself:

×

In another video, he is seen talking down to a woman and extending his right hand to hit her face and upper body several times

×

When other colleagues try to intervene, attempting to restrain Samuel, he hits another female employee, shoving her on the floor

After a while, the videos show both female employees being sent out of the office.

Image via YouTube

At the time of the incident, one of the employees had made a police report in which she accused the lawyer of grabbing and pushing her, reported the Straits Times.However, she withdrew the police report last May.

Now that the videos of his behaviour towards his female staff were leaked, bringing the incident again in the news, Samuel says he hopes to find "closure with this issue soon" so he can "move on"

While he admits that there was an "issue in his office last year, he claims he is "unsure" what people posting edited sound clips and videos "are trying to achieve"."On 25 April, two videos were posted on YouTube, resurfacing matters which took place in my office last year. I am unsure what the people who continually post edited sound clips and videos are trying to achieve."I had admitted that there was an issue in my office last year and will leave the police to reach their findings," he said in his statement on Friday.According to him, "being an entrepreneur is never easy and juggling between finding the work, feeding people and paying salaries on time is a constant struggle."

			As someone who has three companies to manage, I do get stressed up.

"It's not an excuse but it’s been a year and the relevant people have made peace and wish for this to be behind us.I hope to find closure with this issue soon, so I can move on with my life after my mistake from a year ago, so that the people who are constantly and conscientiously seeking to damage me can finally also, rest peacefully."

"It's Not Fair. They're Bullying The Minister!" – Shouts Tajuddin At The Opposition

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

Pasir Salak member of parliament (MP) Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman was at the centre of attention after he accused the Opposition of bullying a Cabinet Minister at the Dewan Rakyat

The incident happened during the special parliament meeting yesterday, 20 January, when Prime Minister's Department (Special Functions) Minister Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad was winding up the debate on the floods, which hit the country in December last year.Several MPs from the Opposition bloc — such as Shah Alam MP Khalid Abdul Samad, Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo, and Jelutong MP RSN Rayer, among others — interjected Latiff numerous times whenever they were dissatisfied with his answers and claimed that the minister did not "get to the point"."You only have 51 seconds left (to speak), can you answer the main question?" said Khalid, who is the former federal territories minister under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration."What steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen again? That is the main issue. You can answer the other questions in written form." In response, Latiff said Prime Minister (PM) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will form a committee to review all the bipartisan suggestions raised earlier to better manage disasters in the future.However, Opposition MPs were confused by the "suggestions" and pressed Latiff to list them out.Several of them were then talking over each other, drowning out what Latiff was trying to say.

Image via Parlimen Malaysia (YouTube)

Many Opposition MPs also asked about the responsibilities of the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), a government agency under the purview of Latiff's ministry

"We are in the process of drafting a bill on disaster management… which will cover, among others, the management, enforcement, preparedness, and disaster risk reduction," Malaysiakini quoted the Latiff saying.However, his response had upset the Opposition, with Rayer saying, "If there is another flood, then we are finished. This is the standard of the ministers. We are doomed."Kuala Selangor MP Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad and Puchong MP Gobind Singh were visibly vexed by Latiff's long-winded answers that failed to get to the point, saying the parliament sitting  that was specially held was not productive.

Image via Parlimen Malaysia (YouTube)

Seeing that the minister required more time to respond to the questions, Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker Rashid Hasnon extended Latiff's speaking time by three minutes

Ipoh Barat MP M Kulasegaran advised Latiff to resign if he had trouble answering the questions, claiming the government has "no strategy at all" to handle the flood crisis.In response to the call of resignation, Latiff said he was appointed to the position because he is a doctor.Hence, he will not "leave my patients who are in the middle of an operation".Earlier, Port Dickson MP and Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim also interjected to tell Latiff that one of his answers has a discrepancy with PM Ismail's directive.

Just as Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh managed to speak to Latiff, Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin raised his voice, bellyaching about the Opposition "bullying" the minister

"That is not fair, Speaker," stressed Tajuddin even though Rashid had gestured to tell him not to speak.

			They are bullying the minister.
        Pasir Salak MP

Tajuddin said the minister tried to "answer everything but you people tried to bully him"

Image via Parlimen Malaysia (YouTube)

He shouted "It's not fair" several times, before letting out an irate "Come on, man".The MP, who was fired from a government-owned company chairman post, contended that the Opposition always blames the government."Always saying this government is not smart. When you were the government, were you smart?" he said.Eventually, the Opposition MPs stopped interjecting and allowed the minister to finish the last few sentences of his speech.But they were visibly dissatisfied with his answers.

Angmoh Chef Thinks This Leaf That We've Been Using For Decades Will Be The "Next Matcha"

For generations, many of us here in Malaysia have used pandan (screwpine) leaves in our daily lives

Image via The Independent

It's a type of plant that we could easily grow in our backyard and we often use it as an ingredient to add flavour and sometimes colour to both savoury and sweet dishes, and even drinks.Locally, pandan is used in preparing staple food such as nasi lemak to desserts such as onde-onde.These green leaves offer more than just natural aromatic smell as there are many health benefits including healing sunburn and relieving pain. They are even used to repel insects and as natural deodoriser in cars.

Extracted juices from pandan leaves are used to prepare desserts such as onde-onde.
Image via SAYS

The popularity of pandan leaves is expected to shoot up in the UK in coming days, especially since popular celebrity chef Nigella Lawson made a mention of it recently

Image via BT

While pandan is a common ingredient used by many Asian households, particularly in the Southeast Asia region, that's not the case in the West. However, things are about to change as Lawson has pointed out that the herbaceous tropical plant has already started to gain popularity in the US, the same trend is expected to be seen at the UK. "I think it's going to be the new matcha," she was quoted as saying British daily The Times.“I may be wrong, but we seem to be interested in that. It’s not in Waitrose (a popular chain of British supermarkets). I don’t know where it is in the country yet. But I notice more and more people in America baking with pandan essence, which comes from the leaf.”

Major publications in UK such as  The Guardian and The Independent are paying attention to what Lawson has to say, as she is known for calling the next big thing in food

Sales of certain food ingredients have rocketed after they were used or championed by Nigella Lawson.
Image via Jist.News

Back in 2006, she championed goose fat as the essential Christmas cooking ingredient and it triggered a soar in the sales of goose fat that year.It was also noted that Lawson taught viewers on her television show, Simply Nigella, how to make avocado on toast in 2015. Her simple recipe then inspired a food trend that saw sales of the fruit shot up by 30%."Given that sales of avocado once rose by 30% after she was featured on TV smashing one on toast, this endorsement could see foodies everywhere making a mad dash for the plant (pandan)," read the article by The Independent. According to the Guardian, the leaves are not yet available at major UK supermarkets but they can be purchased online. It was said that a bunch of fresh pandan leaves (200g) will cost about GBP7 (about RM39), including postage.
