According to Malay Mail, Tun Dr. Mahathir said that the Pakatan Harapan administration is working to "trim excess fat" from the previous government's "excessive spending". "There had been excessive government spending and we need to reduce this, which includes too many contract employees, some of whom were for administrative needs while others were political appointees," he said, as quoted by Malay Mail.

However, he added that low-salaried employees may be spared from the axe and reassigned to jobs that are more suited to their qualifications instead

"In cases where they are drivers, who get a low salary, it would be a burden to them if we terminate them abruptly," he was quoted as saying in a press conference at the Perdana Leadership Foundation today.

Meanwhile, the long-awaited abolishment of the GST has been confirmed by the Finance Ministry:

8 Common Questions About Dengue That Malaysians Should Know The Answers To

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

12,942 dengue cases have been reported in Malaysia this year, as of 5 May 2022

This is a slight increase compared to 9,270 cases in the same period in 2021, and there is a high possibility of underreporting of dengue cases in Malaysia. This could be attributed to a few factors:- Medical systems have been strained because of COVID-19- Movement has lessened due to extensive social lockdowns- Dengue patients may be hesitant to seek medical care for fear of exposure to COVID-19

Image via SeasonsYear

Nevertheless, Aedes mosquitoes thrive in Malaysia's hot and humid weather, making it a pressing public health issue, especially with regards to the disease's rising fatality rate.Furthermore, as dengue and COVID-19 present similar symptoms like fever, muscle aches, joint pain, vomiting and nausea, it's important for Malaysians to learn how to differentiate and treat these illnesses.

To help you protect yourself, here are a few common questions about dengue that Malaysians should know the answers to:

1. How do you get infected with dengue?

Dengue is transmitted when someone is bitten by a female Aedes mosquito carrying the dengue virus.

Aedes mosquitoes are characterised by the white bands on their legs and bodies.
Image via India Today

2. Can you get dengue more than once in a lifetime?

Yes, you can. Dengue is caused by one of the four related viruses: Dengue virus 1, 2, 3, and 4. For this reason, a person can be infected with the dengue virus multiple times in their lifetime.

3. How do you differentiate dengue from COVID-19?

Dengue viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 can cause similar symptoms in the early stages.However, COVID-19 is a vascular disease with multisystem involvement, whereas dengue is a mosquito-borne, febrile disease (showing symptoms of fever) that may or may not have respiratory symptoms. Furthermore, COVID-19 usually infects people through respiratory droplets via coughs, sneezes, laughs, and talking.Here's a closer look at the symptoms for both illnesses:

Image via SAYS

4. What are warning signs of severe dengue cases?

Signs of severe dengue fever generally begin within 24 to 48 hours after the initial fever has gone away.If you develop any of the following symptoms, contact your healthcare provider for medical attention immediately:- Stomach/abdominal pain or tenderness- Persistent vomiting- Bleeding from the gums or nose- Blood in vomit or stool- Feeling tired, restless, or irritable

5. Can paracetamol be taken to reduce fever, as well as ease muscle or joint pain caused by dengue?

Image via Freepik

There is no specific treatment for dengue. However, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia, medications like paracetamol can be taken to treat dengue symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and joint pain.Two pills of 500mg paracetamol have proven to provide effective relief for adults. You can take one to two pills of 500mg Paracetamol every four to six hours, but no more than eight pills of 500mg paracetamol a day.If you have any queries or concerns, always reach out to your doctor for medical advice.

6. What medications should dengue patients avoid?

Medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) should be avoided and not given to dengue patients, as these drugs may aggravate gastritis or bleeding.

7. What are some home care methods for dengue patients?

If you have contracted dengue, the most important thing to do is rest as much as possible. You should also stay hydrated by drinking more fluids such as water or isotonic drinks with electrolytes. To reduce fever, apply a cooling pad or damp cloth on the skin.Some ways to prevent mosquito bites include using mosquito repellent or mosquito netting. Also, from time to time, Malaysians are advised to look out for mosquito breeding places around the home, and eliminate them.

8. If you are infected with dengue, how do you prevent yourself from getting bitten by another Aedes mosquito that may carry the virus to someone else?

When someone contracts dengue, the dengue virus is found in the patient's blood for the first week of infection. While dengue itself is not contagious, here a few tips to prevent Aedes mosquitoes from biting you and possibly passing on the virus to others:- Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants- Use screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes outside your house- Use air conditioning if available- Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellent

All in all, we should not let our guard down when it comes to fighting the dengue virus. If you are experiencing dengue fever symptoms, make sure to seek medical attention immediately.

It was related to a business matter," he said adding that the dispute has to do with the shooting incident.

[PHOTOS] Hundreds Of Guests Attend Wedding Dinner Of Ku Nan's Son In Putrajaya

It looks like the drive-through wedding reception in front of the Palace of Justice, Putrajaya organised by Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor for his son is not the only thing that upset Malaysians last weekend

Highlighting the issue to SAYS in an email, a reader who wishes to remain anonymous said that most news outlets seem to have failed to report the seated wedding reception of Tengku Adnan's son, which saw hundreds of guests sitting elbow to elbow without observing physical distancing."News [outlets] have only reported on the so-called 'drive-through' event. You should check out these posts and publicise them," said the reader.In the links the reader provided, a huge crowd can indeed be seen gathering in the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) for Tengku Muhammed Hafiz Tengku Adnan and Oceane Cyril Alagia's wedding ceremony.Pahang state executive councillor (exco) member Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin and Dr Tengku Naufal were among the people who uploaded photos of the dinner on Instagram.

Meanwhile, photos of the entire hall reveal that there are at least 50 tables filled with guests during the wedding ceremony

Each round table had at least five guests. It is estimated that the hall had more than 200 attendees.When asked by an Instagram user whether weddings can be held in a Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) area, an attendee replied that the ceremony was held in Putrajaya and they did "follow SOP".Although the National Security Council (MKN) had on 7 December listed Putrajaya as a Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) area whereby wedding ceremonies are allowed to be conducted, it is stated that all attendees still have to adhere to SOPs.The photos found online suggest that Tengku Muhammed's wedding guests seem to have failed to practise 1m physical distancing at all times.

In comparison to the rules in CMCO areas, venues used for wedding ceremonies can only operate at 50% capacity of the premises in order to comply with physical distancing, while akad nikah ceremonies can only be attended by 30 guests.

The wedding ceremony was live-streamed on YouTube

Malay Mail reported that the Javanese-themed wedding dinner was attended by many prominent UMNO leaders, such as party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, his deputy Datuk Mohamad Hasan, secretary-general  Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan, and information chief Shahril Hamdan.Several Cabinet ministers, such as Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican, Higher Education Minister Datuk Noraini Ahmad, Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa, Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, and Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong, were also present at the wedding ceremony.Coconuts KL reported that the guests can be seen wearing face masks and only removing them while eating and taking photographs, but the "guests (were) seated in rows without social distancing".

These Jobs Have Been Abolished From Australia's 457 Visa For Foreign Skilled Workers

The Australian government on 18 April abolished the 457 visa scheme and replaced it with two new visas: a short-term visa for two years, and a "medium-term" four-year visa.

The 457 visa scheme allowed foreign workers to fill jobs in Australia in 651 occupations. However, with the elimination of the old visa, 216 occupations have been removed from the list and access to a further 59 other occupations have been made restricted.

Now, among the jobs that foreign workers cannot apply for in Australia are goat farmers, sail makers, antique dealers, migration agents, call centre managers, shearers or actors

Currently, there are over 95,000 foreign workers working in Australia on the 457 visa. But these foreign workers will not be affected by the changes and will be able to continue their stay in Australia under the terms of their current 457 visa scheme.

While employers can still sponsor migrants on a 457 visa until March 2018, the jobs available for sponsorship have been reduced from 651 to 435 jobs effective 19 April 2017

Apart from slashing the number of occupations covered by the old 457 visa scheme, the Australian government will also introduce a mandatory police check, tougher English language requirements for the two new visa schemes.While the visa restrictions will hit potential immigrants from India particularly hard, a handful number of immigrants from Malaysians will be affected by it too.

Here's the full list of occupations that the Australian government has removed from the 457 visa scheme:

Malaysian Photographer's Dreamy Photos Of 'Lonely Trees' Goes Viral

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

There are peaceful, surreal moments all around us, especially if you're looking through Rafiq Farhan's eyes

The 25-year-old freelance photographer from Pahang recently shared a photo compilation of 'lonely trees' all over Malaysia and it's absolutely stunning. Almost like scenes out of Pride & Prejudice – if you know what I mean.

Image via Rafiq Farhan

Having grown up in the rural side of Pahang, near the Titiwangsa Range, Rafiq shares that he was always surrounded by lots of waterfalls, inspiring him to specialise in commercial and outdoor lifestyle photography since 2016. "I used to spend my time during my childhood there with my family and friends. Unconsciously from those childhood memories, I have developed an intimate relationship with mountains and waterfalls. For me, those two places are the only places that I never get tired of shooting," he shares in an interview with SAYS.The idea to compile the images of these 'lonely trees' that he spotted around Pahang, Melaka, and Selangor came to him about a week ago.

			I thought that it is pretty cool to be a lonely tree. It may be lonely, but it's far from people, far from problems, just standing there, dancing when the wind passes by, and happy when the rain falls.

Whenever he visits somewhere new, Rafiq looks for elements in nature that stand out from others

He explains, "It could be a river that leads to the hills, it could be a mountain that is slightly taller than others or it could be a tree that stands alone in a vast open landscape."

Image via @rafiqsfarhan (Instagram)

Like many during this time, it's been a challenge as a full-time outdoor photographer since shoot locations are limited, but he's learned to improvise his work with clients. And although activities he enjoys like travelling, hiking, and camping are put on hold for now, he's grateful to be able to do what he loves as a job.

Since his tweet blew up with over 13,000 retweets, many have been sharing personal captures of 'lonely trees' in the Twitter thread

Take a look at some of them below:

Betul Ke Harga Bahan Api Boleh Mempengaruhi Bil Elektrik? Ini Perkara Yang Perlu Anda Tahu

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

Artikel ini ditaja oleh Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).

Difahamkan, Malaysia dan negara di seluruh dunia terkesan dengan peningkatan kos penjanaan bahan api sejak kebelakangan ini ekoran pasaran bahan api yang tidak menentu dan termasuk juga konflik Rusia-Ukraine

Image via Tenaga Nasional Berhad

Tahukah anda, arang batu dan gas asli turut memainkan peranan penting dalam penjanaan elektrik di seluruh dunia termasuk di Malaysia.Kos penjanaan termasuk kos bahan api merangkumi 65 peratus dari tarif asas elektrik ketika ini. Arang batu dan gas asli digunakan untuk menjana hampir 93 peratus elektrik di Semenanjung Malaysia. Oleh sebab itu, lonjakan harga bahan api sedikit sebanyak akan memberi kesan kepada industri elektrik. Boleh dikatakan jika harga bahan api tinggi, ia memerlukan modal yang lebih besar untuk menjana elektrik.

Apa kesannya bila harga bahan api naik kepada isi rumah?

Ketika ini, rakyat Malaysia masih belum merasai kesan kenaikan harga bahan api secara langsung. Mujur negara Malaysia mempunyai dana Kumpulan Wang Industri Elektrik (KWIE) oleh kerajaan. Tujuannya adalah untuk membantu apabila terdapat peningkatan kos penjanaan elektrik seperti pengekalan rebat 2.00 sen/kWj untuk pengguna domestik.Dengan sokongan KWIE juga, industri elektrik juga berjaya mengurangkan impak kenaikan harga bahan api dengan memberikan rebat sebanyak RM8.6 bilion sejak 2015.

Walau bagaimanapun, dengan kos bahan api yang tidak menentu, pengguna disarankan untuk bersiap sedia menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan surcaj

1. Bil elektrik anda mungkin akan mengalami penurunan dan kenaikan setiap enam bulan berdasarkan Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT)

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Tenaga Nasional Berhad

Tarif elektrik di Malaysia dibahagikan kepada tarif asas dan ICPT. Tarif asas ditetapkan selama tiga tahun, manakala ICPT disemak setiap enam bulan bergantung kepada perubahan harga bahan api. Menurut keputusan ICPT terkini pada 26 Januari 2022, semua pelanggan domestik akan kekal menikmati rebat 2.00 sen/kWj, manakala pelanggan komersial dan industri akan mendapat surcaj 3.70 sen/kWj, berkuat kuasa 1 Februari hingga 30 Jun 2022. Sejak pengenalan ICPT pada 2014, surcaj tidak pernah dikenakan ke atas isi rumah. Namun begitu, perkara ini terpulang kepada kerajaan untuk memutuskan sama ada akan adanya kenaikan surcaj dan rebat atau tidak.

2. Amalan perlu diubah dengan menerapkan sifat berjimat cermat menggunakan tenaga elektrik mulai sekarang

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Harian Metro

Cara terbaik untuk mengatasi kenaikan kos elektrik adalah dengan menerapkan amalan sifat berjimat cermat dalam menggunakan tenaga elektrik di rumah. Jom ikuti tip-tip mudah seperti berikut:Matikan suis elektrik apabila tidak digunakan.Gantikan mentol lampu lama dengan mentol lampu LED terutamanya di ruang rumah yang selalu digunakan.Gunakan kipas untuk membantu menyejukkan bilik supaya suhu alat pendingin hawa boleh ditetapkan lebih tinggi (antara 24-26°C) bagi penggunaan elektrik yang cekap.Tutup semua pintu, tingkap dan laluan udara supaya udara sejuk tidak keluar dari bilik semasa menghidupkan alat pendingin hawa.Tetapkan pemasa untuk mematikan alat pendingin hawa untuk lebih menjimatkan tenaga.Jika bercadang membeli TV, peti sejuk atau pendingin hawa, pilih peralatan elektrik yang mempunyai label kecekapan tenaga yang tinggi.

3. TNB beraspirasi untuk mencapai pelepasan sifar bersih (net zero emissions) menjelang 2050, sebagai satu langkah ke arah dekarbonisasi dan meningkatkan portfolio penjanaan tenaga boleh baharu.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Berita Harian

Hasrat ini dipacu menerusi komitmen mengurangkan intensiti pelepasan karbon sebanyak 35% serta pengurangan 50% kapasiti penjanaan arang batu menjelang 2035.Untuk mencapai matlamat ini, TNB juga telah mengesahkan komitmennya untuk meneroka sumber tenaga boleh baharu bagi menyokong aspirasi kerajaan Malaysia untuk mencapai 31 peratus sumber tenaga boleh baharu menjelang 2025 dan 40 peratus menjelang 2035. Selain itu, TNB juga akan melabur dalam teknologi hijau pesat membangun, termasuk hidrogen hijau serta penyerapan dan penggunaan karbon (CCU).

Fenomena Peniaga Jual Cara 'Cedok-Cedok' Di TikTok, Rupa-Rupanya Ramai Tak Sedar Haram

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

Dengan adanya pelbagai aplikasi sekarang, ia dijadikan sebagai medium orang untuk meniaga

Sebagai contoh, ada yang meniaga produk mereka dengan membuat strategi marketing di aplikasi seperti Facebook, Instagram dan TikTok. Ada juga yang rajin membuat live di medium-medium tertentu untuk dapatkan lebih banyak jualan. Baru-baru ini, tular fenomena di TikTok tentang jualan cedok-cedok oleh peniaga telah mencuri tumpuan ramai. Lihat video penuh di bawah:

  @jackpot_shop #cedok #fyp #foryou tolong support kami jual murah.  suara asli - Ana Ukhibuka Abadan - Kesayanganku

  @kakwhy87 sekali sekala tolong seller habiskan jualan.. tq sis @fae.. cantik sgt free gift tu..#cedok #ranau  original sound - kak why - kak why

Ramai terpedaya dengan harga murah yang ditawarkan peniaga cedok-cedok

Menerusi video berkenaan, kelihatan beberapa peniaga menjual beberapa produk mereka melalui TikTok live. Kebiasaannya, peniaga menjual barang manisan seperti gula-gula dan makanan ringan. Ada juga yang menjual brooch tudung, barang makeup dan macam-macam lagi produk. Mereka menggunakan kaedah jualan cedok-cedok. Penjual akan mencedok satu sudu penuh produk untuk dijual dengan harga tertentu. Pembeli tidak mempunyai pilihan untuk memilih produk. Rupa-rupanya, jualan secara cedok-cedok ini haram. Perkara ini juga telah dijelaskan oleh Ustaz Azhar Idrus di ceramahnya. Lihat video penjelasan penuh itu di bawah:

  @_alkhauf_ Semoga dapat memberi manfaat  #ustazazharidrus #ahlusunnahwaljamaah #foryoupage #fyp #fyp #hukum #cedokcedok #senyumsokmo  Kiss the Rain - Richard Abel

Cedok-cedok sama dengan jual beli mulamasah yang telah jelas struktur asasnya jualan berbentuk gharar.Perkara itu disebabkan pembeli itu belum pasti dan tiada sebarang aras minimum barangan yang boleh dipastikan untuk diperolehi. Maka, ia adalah haram.

"Haah betul tu pastu dikatanya ramai ustaz/ustazah google yg memandai-mandai kat komen bila orang tegur cedok-cedok ni tak boleh" - Netizen

Gharar perlu ditegah, walau niat mereka hanya untuk bersedekah , dan tidak kesah dengan apa yg mreka dpt dri cedokan itu. Niat tidak mnghalalkn cara , Islam sgt menjaga kebajikan umatnya walau mereka redha dgn jual beli itu.— zayd (@zaidmh__) July 19, 2022

Man Reveals How His US$50,000 Twitter Username Got Stolen Thanks To Paypal And GoDaddy

Naoki Hiroshima is a blogger and developer who, until very recently, owned the very rare 1-letter "@N" Twitter handle

The handle, which he had been offered up to $50,000 for in the past, was stolen after hackers abused security flaws in web hosting service GoDaddy and online payment gate PayPal to take control of Hiroshima's accounts, and extort him.

        medium.com

Image via imgur.com

In a detailed and dramatic post on blogging site Medium, Hiroshima explains how an attacker was able to steal the @N Twitter handle from him

Naoki Hiroshima, a developer of social apps like Echofon and Cocoyon, was used to people trying to steal his rare Twitter username, @N. He regularly received password reset instructions from people who were trying to gain control of his account, which he had acquired in 2007.

        businessinsider.com.au

Image via twimg.com

Once, he was even offered $50,000. He turned it down.
Ten days ago, an @N-coveting ne’er-do-well figured out a way to get Hiroshima to give up his Twitter handle.

        cnet.com

The attack wasn't a simple one-layer exploitation; there was no hacker guessing that Hiroshima's Twitter password was "123456." Rather, this was a sophisticated multilayer attack that only worked because of human failure.

The would-be blackmailer, who goes by the moniker “Social Media King,” and uses an email address “[email protected],” began his attack by looking for leverage.

        forbes.com

He noticed that Hiroshima had registered several domains through the GoDaddy domain registration service. He figured control of those domains could lead to control of @N.

        medium.com

In a few simple steps, Social Media King circumvented the security measures of PayPal and GoDaddy. Within minutes. Hiroshima’s domains were his.

        eweek.com

A blackmailer forced Naoki Hiroshima to give up his @N Twitter handle
Image via forbes.com

Here’s how the blackmailer, Social Media King did it:

First, he called PayPal.  Posing as an employee, he persuaded another, real employee to provide the last four digits of Hiroshima’s credit card.

        forbes.com

Next, Social Media King called GoDaddy. He told them he had lost his credit card, but that he remembered the last four digits.

        medium.com

Image via sbnation.com

GoDaddy then let the attacker guess the first two digits of the card. He did so correctly, and GoDaddy gave him access to Hiroshima’s account.

        cnet.com

Once Social Media King was in, he changed all Hiroshima’s account information.

        forbes.com

Here's what happened next:

As part of GoDaddy’s security practices, the company duly informed Hiroshima that his account settings had changed. Hiroshima called GoDaddy to explain the situation.

        thenextweb.com

Image via tnwcdn.com

But he was confounded when the representative asked for the last six digits of his credit card to confirm his identity. Unfortunately for Hiroshima the Social Media King had already changed the credit card number. Hiroshima was now nobody as far as GoDaddy was concerned.

        techcrunch.com

By taking over Hiroshima’s GoDaddy accounts, Social Media King was also able to take over his email and his Facebook account

Friends began to alert Hiroshima that his Facebook account was acting funny. But @N was linked to a email address that Social Media King did not control. It was still out of reach.

        forbes.com

In the mid-afternoon of January 20, Social Media King sent a blackmail note to Hiroshima:

“I would like to inform you that your GoDaddy domains are in my possession, one fake purchase and they can be repossessed by GoDaddy and never seen again D:"

        medium.com

“I see you run quite a few nice websites, so I have left those alone for now, all the data on the sites has remained intact. Would you be willing to compromise?"

        gizmodo.in

Image via nydailynews.com

"Access to @N for about 5 minutes while I swap the handle in exchange for your GoDaddy and help securing your data?”

        forbes.com

Hiroshima pondered the request for a few hours. Finally, he concluded “giving up the account right away would be the only way to avoid an irreversible disaster.”

Naoki Hiroshima then released US$50,000 twitter handle @N.

In exchange, the attacker helpfully provided some tips to Hiroshima so that he could avoid becoming a victim in the future

First, he suggested calling PayPal and asking an agent to add a note to his account not to release details over the phone.

        forbes.com

Second, he suggested switching to a more secure registrar like NameChap or eNom.com.

        eweek.com

Looking back, Hiroshima has some suggestions of his own

Hiroshima advises not using emails based on custom domains (like [email protected]) to log in to service you value. If the registrar of those domains is compromised, then you can kiss the security of your emails goodbye.

It is can also be helpful to protect particularly sensitive data with two-factor authorization, which requires a user to enter both a password and a special code that is sent to his or her phone.

        forbes.com

Finally, Hiroshima urges making a technical change to your mail server records that would delay the time it took for a change to take effect. Time is the enemy of the digital attackers. The longer it takes to pull off a heist, the most exposed an attacker becomes.

[PHOTOS] Photographer Maria Sharp Says Goodbye To Her Dog In A Heartfelt Photoshoot

Maria Sharp is a 23-year-old photographer, who has loved Chubby, her collie/German shepherd/hound mix, since she was seven. That's when she got her first. But, for Maria, Chubby isn't just a dog. "She's my longest and best friend," says Maria.

Image via suzuranphotography.com

These photographs show the first day Maria got Chubby. She was quite excited to have something of her own. Chubby became someone she could take care of and love. "I love my little smiles and quiet moments where I'm so in love with this dog."

Image via petapixel.com

Image via petapixel.com

"Since it was just me and my mom in the house, Chubby added something our family really needed. Chubby was my person. The person I ran home to to tell about my day. She taught me how to listen, how to love, and how to be a friend. Not only is Chubby important to me, but she touches everyone who is around her with her warm personality and acceptance. Of course when she was little she would bark at everything, but once she got to know you she accepted anyone’s lovin. Whenever we had guests over, I would barely say hi before saying, “Do you want to see my dog?!” She was my favorite part of myself."

        mariacsharp.com

When Chubby became ill and deteriorated rapidly in health, Maria decided to create a portrait session so that she could always remember Chubby. Her fellow photographer Suzanne Price helped in chronicling Maria and Chubby's final moments together.

Image via suzuranphotography.com

"I know how important it is to preserve memories and time with loved ones, and this shouldn't just apply to humans," Maria Sharp told Mashable.

        mashable.com

Maria also documented her experience with Chubby in a blog post on her website, saying: "I'm writing this while she's still alive because I know if I were to wait until after she was gone my brain would be mush and I wouldn't be able to type through my tears"

Image via mariacsharp.com

Photographer Suzanne Price shared to PetaPizel a bit of her experience as the person behind the camera during what turned out to be some of Maria and Chubby's final moments together

Image via suzuranphotography.com

"My goal during the session was to tell their story as honestly and unobtrusively as possible. Chubby couldn’t walk very well, so Maria carried him around for much of our time together. It was clear, however, that she relied on Chubby as much as Chubby was relying on her. The intimacy was breathtaking and beautiful."

        petapixel.com

Chubby passed away shortly after these photos were taken, but as sad as that is, Maria is immensely glad that some of Chubby's last moments were spent cuddling together with her and capture their bond that is so strong, words could never accurately describe

Image via suzuranphotography.com

“It’s still hard to accept that she’s actually gone,” the photographer wrote. “I find myself looking around the house for her. Peaking in the bathroom since I didn’t see her in the living room sleeping. I think that’s going to be the biggest adjustment, actually believing that my best friend is gone.”

"I'll miss you Chubby Bunny…"

Late For Work This Morning Because You Took The LRT? You Are Not Alone

Thousands of LRT commuters were off to a bad start this morning as they found themselves trapped and stranded on their way to school and work

It was reported that the LRT service on the Kelana Jaya line was disrupted this morning over a glitch in the signalling and communication system."We had glitches in the signalling and communication system between the Ampang Park and Dang Wangi stations and had to power down the line at several stations in the city centre for us to attend to the situation," Kelana Jaya LRT Line Chief Operating Officer Ismail Abdullah reportedly said in a statement.RapidKL deployed buses to the affected LRT stations to ferry stranded passengers to their desired destinations. Additionally, commuters who have entered the paid area of the stations may seek a refund from RapidKL.

The chaos started at about 7am today, 7 September, when the power trip happened

With the disruption, the trains that remained operational were moving slower than usual and RapidKL posted live updates from time-to-time in its official Twitter account and Facebook page to inform commuters about the latest developments.It was reported that many commuters left the LRT stations after realising the situation but most of them stayed on because they had no alternative transportation.  A few fortunate ones found a place to seat and rest but most commuters just stood and waited in frustration. The chilly morning rain couldn't cool them down as they become more heated up, their patience running thin with every second that passed.

Those who were stranded due to the breakdown this morning told SAYS about their frustrating experience. Most of them said that their trip to work was delayed for up to a few hours.

Image via Rizal Hakim

"It sucks. I reached my office two and a half hours late," Khairul Idzwan tweeted.A few other also said that they took a few hours to travel to work while some were still making their way to work at 12pm.One particular Twitter user @ibnzakuan said that he missed a flight back to his hometown due to the terrible delay this morning.

Many other disgruntled LRT passengers also took to social media to express their dissatisfaction over the disappointing service offered by RapidKL

Many upset passengers also made sure that RapidKL understands their frustrations as they directed complaints on its social media accounts

As with the LRT commuters, motorists in Klang Valley were not spared from delays this morning as the early morning rain caused massive traffic congestion

Besides the rain and the power trip, accidents this morning only added to the congestion, as a one-hour delay is expected from Citta Mall to the Federal Highway along the Subang Airport road due to an accident.There was also a report of an accident near Bukit Raja, causing a traffic jam from the toll plaza.Meanwhile, an accident involving three vehicles at Km7 on the ELITE highway from USJ to Seafield on the right lane is causing delays from the Dengkil rest area.

Although RapidKL has extended the LRT line to increase connectivity, some commuters are not too happy about it. Here's why:

You Might Be Able To Edit Or Recall Embarrassing Messages In This Upcoming WhatsApp Update

WhatsApp is about to save you from a lot of embarrassment.
The popular messaging app is planning to roll out an update that will allow you to edit and delete sent messages!

Image via BBC

The news arrives via the WABetaInfo Twitter channel, a source of early WhatsApp news and speculation, which claims to have discovered the feature in the WhatsApp 2.17.1.869 beta build for iOS. This would be the first time WhatsApp has introduced such features since it launched in 2010.

The channel tweeted a video showing the message deletion process in action. It appears to work by tapping and holding on a sent message to bring up a list of options, including 'revoke'.

WhatsApp beta for iOS 2.17.1.869: how revoking messages work. #hidden #whatsappbeta pic.twitter.com/pEfGfZO1gN— WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) December 14, 2016

The update can be applied to read WhatsApp messages as well. An 'edit' option is also available in the same menu, which would allow users to amend the content of sent messages.

Those with access to the early beta release say the feature is disabled by default, meaning you have to  seek it out within the settings menu to enable it

Image via gadgets360cdn.com

At the moment, you can only delete sent messages at your end. So if you make an embarrassing typo or say something regrettable, you can remove it, but the recipient is still able to see it.

Though this rumour pertains to the iOS build, it’s highly likely that the feature would also roll out to the Android version. There's no release date as of now.

The update will certainly come in handy especially during the times when autocorrect fails you...

[VIDEO] Malaysians Almost Caused A Riot At The Yeezy Sneaker Raffle In Pavilion KL

Famous rapper and recent Trump supporter Kanye West is set to drop his latest line of Yeezy Boost 350 V2 sneakers this Wednesday, 23 November in selected adidas outlets and sneaker shops in Klang Valley

The latest Yeezy Boost 350 V2 will be releasing in three colours.
Image via adidas

West's Yeezy label carries a range of footwear but his collaborations with adidas tend to generate elevated excitement. Due to extremely limited quantities of the release, raffle tickets were given out to interested buyers today, 21 November and only a selected few stand a chance to purchase the sneakers on release day.

Image via SneakerFiles

The sneakers will be sold at RM990.00 per pair.

With the hype surrounding the release, sneakerheads camped eagerly outside of various outlet in hopes of getting a raffle ticket

Image via Farihan Rahim's Facebook

The adidas store in Pavilion KL drew a large crowd. To accommodate the huge turnout, the sportswear brand held the raffle in an open space.
That's where things went south really, really fast.

finally cancelled and the entrance glass broken!Fucker Adidas Team really no brain to set up and handle well the raffle!!Posted by Wyss Wong on Sunday, November 20, 2016

A video uploaded by Facebook user Wyss Wong shows the chaos during the raffle which was held this morning near the fountain area at the entrance of Pavillion KL. Eager buyers could be seen forcing their way through the security barricade, allowing a sea of people into the raffle registration table, nearly causing a riot. adidas staff were clearly outnumbered and had a hard time managing the massive crowd.

Ever since West moved from Nike to adidas in 2013, the kicks have been highly coveted by many worldwide. They are known to sell out within seconds upon release and the resell prices could go up to RM4,000 per pair.

Many actually buy the sneakers not to wear them, but to sell them to eager buyers at exorbitant prices.

We hope it was all worth it, guys. Kanye is certainly  happy that his sneakers are selling out.

[VIDEO] Wanita Ini Dipertemukan Dengan Anak Yang Dah ‘Tiada’ Dalam Dunia VR. Serius Sedih!

Ibu bapa mana yang sanggup lihat anak pergi dulu sebelum mereka. Sakitnya tidak terkata!

Bayangkan anak yang dikandung, dilahirkan dan dijaga dengan penuh kasih sayang, tiba-tiba pergi sekelip mata. Sebagai ibu bapa, anda pula tidak berdaya untuk menghalang perkara itu. Siapa je yang bersedia untuk menghadapi perkara itu kan?

Baru-baru ini, viral di laman Twitter sebuah video menunjukkan seorang ibu yang telah kematian anaknya namun dapat bertemu kembali dalam dunia VR

Pertemuan menyayat hati itu ditunjukkan dalam satu dokumentari dari Korea Selatan mengisahkan ibu muda, Jung Ji Sung yang kematian anaknya, Nayeon, tujuh tahun yang meninggal dunia kerana kanser darah pada tahun 2016 lalu. Memetik PC Gamer, pihak produksi mengambil masa lapan bulan untuk membina Nayeon termasuklah suaranya dan latar belakang pertemuan itu di sebuah taman di mana mereka menyambut hari lahir kanak-kanak malang itu sebelum ini.

Susulan itu, ramai yang turut sebak menonton video tersebut

Lagi hiba bila dah ada depan mata dan tak dapat rasa langsung kehangatan pipi anak dia. I'm sure a lot of us have been there. Only seeing their picture n videos but the memories are present. Bukan tidak redha dengan pemergian seseorang tetapi rindu yg teramat.— supirman (@bhoiislonely) February 9, 2020

Kenapa ko buat ak camniFirst 15sec ak dah nangis ak xbolehhhhhhh ya AllahDah la anak dia tu pompuannnnKo rasa??? Touching la ak camniiiii— miha (@MimiBlueMint) February 10, 2020

Dalam pada itu, ada juga netizen yang berpendapat bahawa cara pertemuan itu agak kejam apatah lagi si ibu tidak boleh memeluk anak perempuannya itu

Just my opinion, no offence. Ianya akan membuatkan si ibu sedih berterusan, jika ibu dia dah tak sedih pasal kematian ank dia, then ad org suruh guna vr ni tgk anak dia, ibu dia mesti terkenang balik. Memang kita patut mengingati orang yang dah mati, tapi life must go on.— Alexi§e (@_floralfox) February 9, 2020

This is so disturbing actually. Like have you all watched Black Mirror before?— Axrie Idxmeer (@zrdzmr) February 9, 2020

Bahasa: "Ini sangat mengganggu sebenarnya, korang semua pernah tengok drama Black Mirror sebelum ini?" tulisnya.

Bahasa: "Ya, teknologi sangat bagus dan menyeronokkan. Tapi bila teknologi melibatkan emosi manusia, itu sangatlah tidak patut. Sedih tengok maknya mengharapkan untuk menyentuh anaknya. Sentuhan yang sebenar," tulisnya.

noup. kinda disturbing. been there and its worse when you cant touch em. stop— Babah Aisyah (@SyafiqD_Acan) February 9, 2020

Bahasa:"Tidak, ini sangat mengganggu. Dah pernah berada di tempat itu dan ia lebih teruk bila anda tidak boleh sentuh. Hentikan," tulisnya.

This is fuking morbid. They clearly thought they could but they didn't ask themselves if they should. Biar la kematian itu jadi pengakhiran. Tak sihat untuk kita terlalu taksub dengan pemergian org tersayang.— ZRI. (@azri_akmal98) February 9, 2020

Bahasa: "Ini sangatlah menakutkan, mereka sememangnya memikirkan bahawa mereka boleh melakukannya tapi tidak berfikir jika mereka patut membuatnya."Biarlah kematian itu jadi pengakhiran. Tidak sihat untuk kita terlalu taksub dengan permergian orang tersayang," tulisnya.

Berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu yang memikulnya. Kadang-kadang kita tak tahu apa yang orang sanggup lakukan demi orang tersayang.

Apa-apapun, yang baik itu kita wajar kita ikuti dan buang mana yang tidak elok.
