Tun M Says GST Can Come Back If That Is What The People Want

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today, 3 October, that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) could be brought back

According to Malaysiakini, Tun Dr Mahathir said that the government will study if the GST is better than the Sales and Services Tax (SST) and if it is something the Malaysians want, then the Pakatan Harapan government will consider bringing it back.

			Well, if the people believe it (the GST) is better, we will study that.
        Tun Dr Mahathir

This comes after the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) urged the government to bring back the GST in the upcoming Budget 2020

MIER chairman Tan Sri Kamal Salih said instead of a six percent tax rate, he suggested the new GST could be at a lower rate of three percent, reported The Star.Kamal said the GST was responsible for keeping the government afloat when the crude oil price plummeted below USD36 per barrel in 2015."The GST is a fair system – some people said it is regressive because the poor would be affected," said Kamal."But we have exclusion clauses that will protect the lower income group, or B40."

The MIER chairman added that the current tax system will never be able to produce the same amount of collection as the GST despite the effort of expanding SST taxable sectors

Kamal said the government should reintroduce the GST as soon as possible.He, however, added that a steady economic growth should come before it or else the reintroduction of GST would end up burdening the people, reported Malay Mail.

When asked if Budget 2020 would see the tax system change, Tun Dr Mahathir said that it would be difficult

"It will be difficult (to study it for) this budget. Maybe later on," Dr Mahathir was quoted as saying by KiniTV.

Budget 2020 will be tabled on Friday, 11 October.The Pakatan Harapan government previously abolished the GST after winning the 14th General Election.Malaysia went through three months tax holiday before the SST was introduced, a tax system that charges 10 percent on goods and six percent on services.

Man Who Tried To Protect Stray Dog In Viral Video Sues MPSJ

A man is suing the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) after he was allegedly manhandled by one of their officers during an altercation last month

The 47-year-old had tried to stop MPSJ officers from taking away a stray dog.In his civil suit filed with magistrate's court in Shah Alam, the man, Koh Tat Meng, named four defendants:- The Selangor government, - MPSJ,- MPSJ president Noraini Roslan, and - MPSJ officer Mohd Sadruddin Mohd Rosli.Koh is being represented by lawyers Rajesh Nagarajan and Sachpreetraj Singh Sohanpal, reported The Star.

Koh is seeking RM50,000 in damages and a public apology

Koh's lawyers said their client was left with no choice but to take legal action against the four defendants after failing to get in touch with them."We would not have had to file the suit if they would just sit down and discuss things with us," Malay Mail quoted Rajesh as saying today, 7 November."But they chose to ignore us, so this is the last resort."

Sadruddin has been identified as the officer who manhandled Koh, while the other three defendants are "vicariously liable" for his actions

Koh claimed Sadruddin had manhandled him after he invoked Prophet Muhammad’s name several times during the commotion, reported Free Malaysia Today. He said he did it to ask the MPSJ officers to show compassion towards the dog.

After the incident, Koh was charged for obstructing public servants from discharging their public functions last month

The incident happened near Vista Millennium Condominium, Puchong at 11.22am on 3 October, reported New Straits Times.Koh, who is a father of three, was charged on 18 October under Section 186 of the Penal Code which carries a maximum jail term of two years, a maximum fine of RM10,000, or both.He pleaded not guilty to the court and claimed trial to the charge.The case has been fixed for a mention on 26 November.

Koh’s altercation with the officer went viral last month:

Malaysian Shares 6 Hidden Gems & Activities You Should Do In Perlis

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

With popular road trip spots like Melaka, Penang, and Ipoh, it's easy to overlook Perlis as a holiday destination

Not many might know that there's actually several fun activities to do in Malaysia's smallest state.Doctor and adventure junkie, Jeevitha Kumar, revealed some of these 'hidden gems' after a recent trip. Speaking to SAYS, she shares that she often travels interstate, as part of a non-governmental organisation, to hand out medical supplies and food aid. While she's at different locations, she also takes the opportunity to explore as much as she can.

So if you're thinking of heading to Perlis, take a look at some of her must-visit places and activities that you can add to your itinerary:

1. Take a peaceful stroll in Kangar's paddy fields

Kangar is the state capital and the largest town in Perlis. "Gaze at every corner of Perlis and you would see paddy fields. Indeed, it is such a peaceful shift of scenery away from high-rise buildings."She recommends taking a moment to explore by walking in between the fields while you capture amazing shots of the landscape."Depending on the time of visit, the colour of the fields changes, so plan your timing well."

2. Catch the sunset and enjoy delicious seafood at Kuala Perlis

Image via Jeevitha Kumar (Provided to SAYS)

Kuala Perlis is the main port of Perlis and the second-largest town in the state."Let's face it, most people equate Kuala Perlis as the gateway to Langkawi topped off with its delicious seafood. One would be surprised at just how beautiful the landscape could be during sunset," she shares.According to Jeevitha, Kuala Perlis is one of the best places to catch every sunset hue behind the islands."Do remember to visit The Ocean Glow for this breathtaking scenery with no charges."

3. Hike up Pintu Wang Gunung summit and enjoy a glimpse of Thailand (no passport needed!)

Image via Jeevitha Kumar (Provided to SAYS)

"Perlis may not be synonymous with hiking but its limestone hills that borders much of Malaysia and Thailand will definitely pose a challenge. If you are into hiking with elements of obstacle challenges then Pintu Wang Gunung is the right place to venture."With an elevation of over 400m and a total round distance of 7km, this steep climb uphill is well worth the half-day hike as you weave in and out of the Malaysian-Thai border. YES! No passports needed. What awaits you at the summit is the view of Thailand and the vast paddy landscape of Kangar."She advises to contact @hikers_perlis via Instagram for permits, guides, and ground arrangements.

"Just a stone's throw away from The Ocean Glow is this unique-looking mosque with a dome akin to the shape of a Fabergé egg. Make sure to check out this place during sunset for those amazing Insta-worthy shots."

5. Enjoy the stunning view of Tasik Timah Tasoh

"Dubbed as the 'Guilin of Malaysia', it is easy to see why with such majestic limestone formations shrouded with mist and fleeting clouds. Spend your evening by strolling or swinging away next to the breathtaking mirror lake."

Police To Take Action Against Parents Of Reckless Teens Involved In Illegal Night Cycling

It's 3am. Most people should be fast asleep at home, but not this bunch of teenagers who are out on the road, cycling dangerously with their friends.

More than 30 youths had gathered together along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam near the Mahmoodiah Muslim cemetery in Johor Baru on Saturday morning, 1 April. It is believed that some of them were riding dangerously in illegally modified bicycles, while others were there as spectators.

But the event came to an abrupt end when the police reportedly detained 22 teenagers from the illegal gathering

It was reported the police had issued three warnings to the group but they refused to disperse, so the police went ahead and arrested them during the early morning operation. Some of the teenagers were quick to escape on foot, however, the police managed to detain the youths, who are aged between 14 and 17. Out of the 22 youths that were detained, two are girls, one of whom is a cyclist.  The police also successfully seized 14 modified "mosquito bikes" at the scene.According to NST, former national cyclist Nasiruddin Wan Idrus coined the term "mosquito bikes" to refer to the bicycles that are often used in ilegal gatherings, as they're a nuisance like mosquitoes.

These cyclists, dubbed as 'Mat Lajak', seemed to be unaffected by the deadly accident that claimed the lives of eight teenagers two months ago

Johor Baru South police chief Assistant Commissioner Sulaiman Salleh

In February, a fatal accident saw eight teenagers die in the same area after a 22-year-old woman driver hit the group of boys who were cycling during midnight.  The police said that the previous incident "did not teach the families of these cyclists a good lesson"."They (the teens) are endangering themselves and other road users by taking part in illegal bicycle races on the hilly slopes of Jalan Mahmoodiah just to see who can cross the finish line first," Johor Baru South police chief Assistant Commissioner Sulaiman Salleh told NST. Although no gambling activity had been detected yet, the police said that they could not dismiss the possibility that bets were placed.

What's rather is surprising is that some of these teenagers' parents appeared to be unconcerned

According to ACP Sulaiman, some parents actually took their own time to pick up their children from the police station.  "When we called their parents, some even told the police to let their children stay in jail and they did not want to come for their child," he was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

The police have issued a stern warning to parents following the latest arrest

"If this happens again, we will go after their parents," Johor police chief Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd said.Under Section 33 of the Child Act 2001, a parent can be charged for leaving a child without reasonable supervision. If found guilty, they could face two years’ imprisonment or a maximum RM5,000 fine, or both.Meanwhile, the teenagers could face a fine up to RM2,000 or a maximum of six months’ jail for illegal vehicle modification.

31 Actors Were Injured In Puchong After A Movie Set Caught On Fire

A movie set for the production of a Chinese New Year film caught on fire and it was reported that 31 actors suffered burns in Bandar Bukit Puchong on Monday, 17 September

The fire was present because there was a scene in the movie 'Amazing Spring' that required setting the set ablaze.

The actors caught on fire due to vapourised petrol after the crew was pouring it on the set

The crew was pouring petrol on wooden houses for the shoot and it vapourised into the air. “The vapourisation process ended on the clothes of the actors, and when the petrol was ignited, their clothes caught fire,” a Fire and Rescue Department spokesman said, as reported by The Star.

Luckily, firemen were on standby as they were informed of the fire scene beforehand

All parties were notified of the fire scene by the crew, but the vapourisation of the petrol wasn't taken into account.

31 cast members were severely injured by the fire and were sent to Sunway Medical Centre to seek treatment

The list of injured actors includes 59-year-old Hong Kong actress Sharon Yeung Pan-pan, 24-year-old Malaysian actress Joey Leong as well as 30-year-old actor Cedric Loo. The head of the hospital's Accident and Emergency Department said that Yeung sustained 7% of second-degree burns on the left side of her face, her right arm and on both legs, as reported by China Press. Leong, on the other hand, sustained 5% second degree-burns on both her legs.It is reported that it may take the victims three weeks to recover.Meanwhile, 72-year-old actor Law Kar-ying was unharmed and has since returned to Hong Kong.


An Apple User Who Was So Pissed About His iOS 7 Download, He Did This

The user, Mark Menacher, is suing Apple CEO Tim Cook for installing iOS 7 on his family's gadgets without their permission.

A California man was so bothered by iOS 7’s over-the-air update mechanism that he sued Apple, saying that the new version of the mobile operating system was downloaded to his family members' Apple devices without his consent.

        ibtimes.com

Image via rumorscity.com

The small claims court suit, titled “Mark David Menacher v. Tim Cook” by the San Diego County branch of California's Superior Court, seeks a way to remove the iOS 7 install files that were downloaded to the plaintiff's devices automatically when they were plugged in and connected to a Wi-Fi Connection.

        hngn.com

The iOS 7 update file doesn't install automatically, although it does prompt users to do so every time they restart their device.

Some users were irked to discover this feature last month, which is designed to get users onto the latest version of Apple's iOS software, updates that often contain security fixes and new features.

        cnet.com

However in the case of iOS 7, it also means a brand new look and feel of the OS, along with potential compatibility issues with some pieces of software, and a sizable download that can take up 1GB or more. The software also cannot be downgraded within iTunes, or from on the device itself.

        modmyi.com

The automatic downloading behavior was present in the jump from iOS 5 to 6 as well, however that update did not come with a visual overhaul.

Students Go Viral For Making Creative 'Anti-Cheating' Hats In The Philippines

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

A group of engineering students in the Philippines made headlines for their creative method to avoid cheating during exams

Image via Mandane-Ortiz R Mary Joy (Facebook)

Mary Joy Mandane-Ortiz, a faculty member of the Bicol University College of Engineering, asked her students to make 'anti-cheating hats' to wear during their mid-term examinations on 17 and 18 October. To prevent them from copying each other's work, Ortiz gave her students the creative freedom to design their own 'hats'.

Much to her surprise, the kids took the challenge pretty seriously, which has garnered plenty of attention and amused the Internet

From Spartan helmets and egg cartons to hangers with printed 'underwear', the creative bunch did not hold back on this 'assignment'

According to Coconuts, Ortiz shared that this idea was inspired by a Thai university, which previously had their students wear 'anti-cheating helmets' during their exams, as proposed by a student."I really love and [I'm] proud of my students because their engineering mid-term exams can be pressuring and stressful, yet they managed to add some colour and fun. Thank you very much, students. You make me proud," Ortiz wrote on Facebook.

"Again, the 'anti-cheating hat' is a reminder to all not to cheat, but to study well," Ortiz wrote, according to NextShark. However, she added that she still believes that the best way is to have integrity to not cheat, with or without the hats.

Here's a look at some of the other 'hats':

Sime Darby Says Petition On Labour Abuse Was Submitted Without Soliciting Their Feedback

On Wednesday, 8 July, SAYS reported on a petition that alleged conditions of forced labour and child labour at Sime Darby Plantation

In a statement in response to our report, the company today, 9 July, said that as a responsible producer of palm oil, Sime Darby Plantation Berhad (SDP) is concerned over the serious allegations.The petition by a Hong Kong-based anti-trafficking group was submitted to the US Customs and Border Protection to ban imports of palm oil products from the world's largest listed palm oil company."These are serious allegations that are against the commitments that we have publicly made, as articulated in our Responsible Agriculture Charter and our Human Rights Charter," SDP said in the statement.

The company said that the petition by Liberty Shared was submitted to the US Customs without soliciting any feedback from them

"We wish to point out that the petition was submitted without soliciting any feedback from our company," SDP said, adding that they have access "only to the petition summary which provides issues that were raised, without any details on the interviews that were conducted".According to the company, they intend to engage with Liberty Shared to further understand the allegations in detail to enable SDP to conduct a thorough and immediate investigation and take corrective action."We believe this, in turn, will further help strengthen our practices globally to ensure we embed the respect for Human Rights on the ground throughout our operations," SDP said.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian oil palm planter said that they are truly committed to eradicating instances of non-compliance by imposing immediate and appropriate corrective actions if and when they arise

"We believe over the years we have made genuine progress in improving our labour practices on the ground through various initiatives and collaborations with multiple partners and NGOs. Our efforts can be seen in various disclosures that we have made public, which includes our latest Sustainability Report 2019, published in May 2020," it said."We acknowledge the challenges and complexity of the supply chains across the industry and, therefore, of implementing our NDPE (No Deforestation, No Peat, and No Exploitation) commitments. Nevertheless, we are truly committed to eradicating instances of non-compliance by imposing immediate and appropriate corrective actions if and when they arise."

In the petition, which was made public this week, the group accused Sime Darby of "too many structural weaknesses":

Here's How This Policewoman Dealt With A Man Who Accused Her Of Stealing His iPhone 8 Plus

On 9 March, police officer Irene shared a hilarious exchange between her and an ungrateful man who lost his iPhone 8+ on her Facebook page

Image via Irene Y LM

Irene, who is from Sibu, Sarawak and is currently posted in Kuala Lumpur, rose to fame last year after appearing on several local media sites for her good looks. Currently, she has close to 100,000 followers on Facebook.

Irene had apparently found an iPhone 8+ and was expecting the owner to call back the phone

Soon enough, the man called his phone and Irene told him, "I'm sorry, I don't have time as I'm working right now. Can you come and get it yourself?"To her surprise, the man responded rudely, "You send to me, I know you stole my phone. I will make a police report if you don't send it, I'm using 'Find My iPhone."Oh boy, if only he knew that she IS the police.

Image via Irene Y LM

According to Irene, the unappreciative man used a lot of vulgarity in that exchange which prompted her to respond, "Okay, I will continue with work then. Goodbye."

Image via Irene Y LM

She added in her Facebook post, "You can take your time to find your iPhone in the dustbin. There's still 83% of battery left and I didn’t turn off the phone (so he could track his phone using the 'Find My iPhone' app). Good luck!”At the time of writing, her post has garnered over 2,700 shares and 42,000 reactions on Facebook.

Irene's savageness was lauded by netizens with many claiming they would do the same if they were in her shoes. However, one user shared a similar experience in the comments, but with a different outcome.

Semua orang impikan satu perkahwinan yang kekal hingga ke Jannah. Siapa je yang ingin mahligai cinta mereka rebah di tengah jalan kan?

Tapi, perkahwinan itu bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah. Banyak onak duri yang perlu ditempuhi. Sebab itulah, tidak mustahil sesuatu perkahwinan yang sudah menjangkau usia puluhan tahun pun boleh hancur berkecai sekelip mata. Antara sebab utama pasangan berpisah adalah kerana wujudnya 'orang ketiga', si suami mohon untuk berpoligami namun si isteri pula tidak bersetuju maka perpisahan adalah jalan terbaik.

Melihat ramai yang keliru dalam soal poligami, cerai, nafkah dan juga nusyuz ini, seorang pengguna Twitter iaitu Akhi Fairuz berkongsi perkongsian seorang peguam di laman Twitter miliknya

An Alarm Clock That Will Help You Wake Up And Fall Asleep Better This Year

Withings, makers of a popular series of health and fitness gadgets, unveiled a new sleep-tracking gadget called the Withings Aura

Image via wordpress.com

This week at CES it announced the Aura, a $299 device designed to help you fall asleep faster, sleep better, and wake up easier.

        gizmodo.com

It comes in two parts, one a small pad that goes underneath your pillow to monitor you while you sleep and one a light that sits on your bedside table

The pad senses your heart rate, movements, and breathing, while the light also scans your room for noise, light, and temperature.

        theverge.com

Image via sbnation.com

The idea here is that the bedside component will offer pre-programmed sound and light options to help you fall asleep and wake up, while also helping build optimal sleep routines based on data the device collects.

Like plenty of other devices, the Aura collects and shares data with your smartphone, showing you how you slept and what helped or hindered you through the night

But the great-looking, vaguely sci-fi light on your bedside table will also play soothing music to help you fall asleep, and use light and sound to wake you up at the perfect time.

        techcrunch.com

The Withings Aura has two parts, and works with a smartphone.

Withings says the Aura is constantly adapting to your sleep patterns, even in real time, and will always wake you up at the perfect moment in your sleep cycle

The Aura breaks down sleep cycles: how much time you've spent in light, deep, or the all-important REM sleep.

As for the lamp itself, it's both a sleep aid and a sleek, touch-sensitive lava lamp. The device glows a shade of red to help you get to sleep — Withings says the wavelength of light helps the body generate melatonin — and for waking it shines a glowing blue.

        engadget.com

Different shades, from purple to yellow, are available at the user's choice.

A standalone iPhone app lets users do things like set wake-up times and view their sleep and environmental data, though the information will also be surfaced in the standard Withings app as well for a bigger picture look at your health (Android compatibility is coming down the line, and the device will be able to connect over legacy Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, or Wi-Fi).

This Stall Owner Ran Out Of 'Tapau' Containers, So He Used the Next Best Thing Instead

With the Selangor state government's recent implementation of the no-plastic bag policy, local eateries and food stalls have turned to paper boxes and biodegradable plastic containers for takeaways

Image via Selangor Bebas Plastik

Selangor has started banning the use of plastic bags and polystyrene packages for retailers and vendors. If they fail to comply, a fine of up to RM1,000 will be given.

But when a particular stall owner ran out of plastic containers for a takeaway fried rice. He put his creative skills to the test and used something nobody would've ever thought of.

Image via Eddie Chin

Yup, a transparent glove!

Malaysian FB user Chin Eddie posted about the encounter on 12 January which has since gone viral on social media

Image via Eddie Chin

In the post, the Malaysian shared how he had gone to the eatery to order takeaway fried rice but the shop owner told him that they had run out of the plastic containers that they usually used for takeaway orders.He obviously got more than what he bargained for.

We've got to hand it to this hawker for being such a creative genius!

This School For Underprivileged Kids Accepts Plastic Waste From Students As Tuition Fees

A school for underprivileged students in India has found a creative way to solve waste disposal issues in its village and encourage more students to join the school.
It began accepting dry plastic waste as school fees.

Image via Instagram

Akshar Forum, a school located in the Indian village of Pamohi in Guwahati, recently implemented the new policy in accordance with a recycling programme in January.

         View this post on Instagram           Akshar accepts plastic packets as school fees. The plastic is recycled for construction. What if every school does something like this? #recycle #environment #sustainability #aksharforum #sdg11 #globalgoals #aksharfoundation A post shared by  Akshar Foundation (@akshar_foundation) on Apr 20, 2019 at 5:07am PDT

The programme involved students collecting plastic waste from nearby houses, segregating them, and repurposing the plastics in different ways

Image via The Better India

The school that had started with only 20 kids now has over 100 kids between the ages of four years old to 15 years old.Each child brings in at least 25 items of plastic waste per week as their contribution to their community and the environment.

Image via The Better India

Recycling household plastic waste in lieu of school fees has cultivated a sense of environmental awareness among the students

"We wanted to start a free school for all, but stumbled upon this idea after we realised a larger social and ecological problem brewing in this area," co-founder Parmita Sarma told The Better India. "Here it was a norm to burn waste plastic to keep warm. We wanted to change that and so we started to encourage our students to bring their plastic waste as school fees," she added.

         View this post on Instagram           Approximately 4000 plastic packets sequestered into 200 bottles to make compact Ecobricks. 4000 non-recyclable packets that would have been burned into smog or clogging up waterways. #recycle #ecobricks #environment #globalgoals #sustainability #plasticfree #aksharfoundation #aksharforum A post shared by  Akshar Foundation (@akshar_foundation) on Apr 20, 2019 at 10:20pm PDT

"The idea is to train students in recognising how to live an eco-friendly life," Borthakur said, adding that the entire recycling program is carried out by the students from start to finish.

         View this post on Instagram           Inspired by Gandhi's education philosophy, Akshar's curriculum combines practical vocational training with theoretical knowledge. For example, students study ecology and physics, while training as solar technicians. #aksharforum #vocationaltraining #solarpanels #green #cleanenergy #environment #solarenergy #renewableenergy #solar #aksharfoundation A post shared by  Akshar Foundation (@akshar_foundation) on Apr 21, 2019 at 4:30am PDT

Unlike traditional schools, Akshar does not have age-specific standards or grades, but is based entirely on the knowledge level of students

Without restricting students to a fixed curriculum, Akshar Forum allows students to hone their personal skills and talents in their own capacities.

"The idea behind this is to break open the conventional ideas of education," Parmita said."One of the biggest problems with the sector is the relevance of education. These kids needed the right blend of theory and practical knowledge that could enable them enough skills for various job opportunities," Mazin explained.

         View this post on Instagram           "The principal idea is to impart the whole education of the body, mind and soul through the handicraft that is taught to the children.” - Mahatma Gandhi #aksharfoundation #gandhi #famousquotes #education #globalgoals #aksharforum #endpoverty A post shared by  Akshar Foundation (@akshar_foundation) on May 5, 2019 at 7:38am PDT

The free school is also referred to as a "haven for at-risk teens"

"Boys with unsafe home situations and bad influences in the neighbourhood stay in school for several days a week, sleeping in the boys hostel," an Instagram caption by the Akshar Foundation read.

Microsoft's New Surface Laptop Is Better Than The MacBook Air In These 4 Areas

Tech giant Microsoft recently unveiled its latest device - the Surface Laptop

Image via CNET

Microsoft announced its first ever clamshell notebook - the Surface Laptop at the #MicrosoftEDU event on Tuesday, 2 May.

It will be the first device to run on Windows 10 S - a streamlined and user-friendly version of the Windows operating system

Image via Bloomberg

Windows 10 S is Microsoft’s new lightweight operating system. It’s meant to be cheaper and less processor intensive than Windows 10 Home or Pro, the versions of the OS found on most laptops and desktops today.

With such sleek and compact design, the Surface Laptop is put in direct competition with the MacBook Air and the former certainly outperforms Apple's device in four areas:

NOTE: The comparisons below are made with the current iteration of the MacBook Air.

1. The Surface Laptop is more powerful than the MacBook Air

The Surface Laptop will be available in four different colours.
Image via Phone Dog

The Microsoft Surface Laptop features a 7th-generation Intel Core processor (i5 and i7 options available) with either 4GB or 8GB RAM. You'll also find a dual-core Intel Core i5 or i7 on the MacBook Air. However, the processors used in the Apple device are 5th-generation Intel chips, as opposed to the much newer 7th generation processors used in the Surface Laptop. This means they're both less powerful and less efficient.

2. The Surface Laptop has a better screen than the MacBook Air

Image via PC Mag

The Surface Laptop sports a 13.5-inch. 3.4 million PixelSense display with 2256 x 1504 resolution. It also uses the Intel HD 620 graphics in its least expensive model. Upgraded versions use Intel Iris Plus 640 technology.As for the MacBook Air, it's equipped with a 13.3-inch LED-backlit screen featuring a 1440 x 900 resolution.

"Your Child May Be A Victim Of Rape Or Become A Rapist" - Parents Of WeChat Users Warned

"Who can be a rape victim? Your child."
"Who can be a rapist? Your child."

In a recent Facebook post, fellow netizen Zeeda Aziz has reminded parents to be careful as she wrote about the dangers faced by children on tablets and smartphones.She said that she dedicated the post to all parents who allow their children to own a smartphone and particularly those who own a WeChat account. "If they use that (WeChat) application, please monitor their movements as much as possible. Your child may be a victim of rape or become a rapist," the 38-year-old wrote.

The warning came about after Zeeda received a case a few days ago and found that a girl was raped by another user she met through WeChat.
Zeeda said this real life experience should be an example and lesson for all parents.

"This girl is well mannered. Her whole family are really good people. Soft-spoken and polite," she wrote.According to Zeeda, this family was "perfect" and known in their neighbourhood because people admired their Islamic way of life.  "But a mistake happened when the girl received a smartphone to help her in her studies. It's more convenient to discuss homework."

"Her friends had been inviting her to use WeChat ever since she got a smartphone, so that it will be easier for them to communicate and find more friends. That was when this child got into a destructive trap."

"WeChat users are racing to become popular. More friends, more glamorous. And this child was tricked by this useless trend. Without her realising it, one of her new friends on WeChat was going to be the person who raped her," she added. Zeeda said that the rapist was in his early 20s and is a student at a local university and he came from a highly educated family. "He looked harmless. Educated, knows the law. But that was not enough to stop him from his evil desires."

All it took was just one week for the rapist to get the victim's attention

Zeeda explained that the rapist had invited the victim to go for a sightseeing at a planned location after he gained her trust.Before they went out together, the victim had asked actually for her mother's permission by saying that she was going to do some homework. "The mother at home believed that her daughter went to a study group session but what was really happening was that the girl was brought to the crime scene to be raped."  "After she was raped, before sending her back home, the rapist gave her a carbonated drink that was said to be able to kill sperms."Zeeda said that the victim trusted the rapist and chose to keep quiet about the incident. She went home, determined to keep it as a secret in hopes that no one would find out what had happened.It was learned that the university student involved in the case is under investigation.

Zeeda has advised parents to be vigilant and always be aware of their children's whereabouts

"Watch your child's smartphone activities. If you can, give a time limit to control his or her usage. Don't let them be caught up with crooked men's lies. If you love your child, keep him or her close to you." She also urged rape victims to not be afraid and immediately go to the police station and make a report. She added that perpetrators may face a maximum 20 years in jail and whipping if convicted of rape."Rapists should be in jail. That is where they deserve to be. It does not matter if the rapist is from a rich or poor family, let the justice system punish them accordingly.""We are the generation that is supposed to protect the young ones who are still immature. If these children suffer from trauma after being raped or get pregnant out of wedlock, it is the people in our age that have to take their cases."
