Err, Copying And Pasting A Status Won’t Make Mark Zuckerberg Give You His Money

A post is making rounds on Facebook, claiming that Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the social media site, is planning to give out money to random users.
All they have to do is to update their status. Sounds too good to be true? Well, IT IS!

A screenshot of the post.
Image via BusinessInsider

The post claims that Zuckberberg is handing out $4.5 million to 1,000 users who copy and paste the message, and then share it after tagging five to 10 friends.

        nbcnews.com

For some reason, it’s supposed to be made more believable because the status update says that it was on Good Morning America. Also, chances are that if something says this is “not a hoax,” then it most likely is a hoax.

        inquisitr.com

The rumour stems from the announcement that Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla would be giving out 99% of their assets to charity

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.
Image via HuffingtonPost

Mark is giving away enough money to fund one of the world's biggest charities for the next 45 year - Chan Zuckerberg Initiative LLC, a family-run foundation that he controls and through which he will maintain control of Facebook for "the foreseeable future."

        techinsider.io

A spokesperson from Facebook has confirmed to NBC that this is not real, much like the countless hoaxes that have gone viral on Facebook

It's worth mentioning that these types of hoaxes are nothing new. Before copy and pasting a status, it's worth quickly Googling to make sure you're not being duped.

        businessinsider.com

General rule of thumb: when a message ends with ‘THIS IS NOT A HOAX!!’ you can pretty much tell it’s most likely a hoax

Image via NBCNews

Awhile back, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife pledged to give their assets to their new organization called the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative:

                What No One Is Telling You About Mark Zuckerberg Donating 99% Of His Fortune To "Charity"

It's neither exclusively a charity, nor is his donation is going to a "charitable trust."

AEON Raises Minimum Wage For Employees From RM1,200 To RM1,500 Ahead Of Govt's Mandate

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

AEON Co (M) Bhd has increased the minimum wage of  its Grade G employees from RM1,200 to RM1,500 per month effective from 1 January, it said in a statement

The decision came ahead of the government's mandate, in which the Ministry of Human Resources (MORH) announced last week, that the national minimum wage is expected to increase to "around RM1,500 a month" by the end of 2022."AEON Malaysia always prioritises the welfare of our employees and welcomes the recommendation from the Ministry of Human Resources," New Straits Times quoted the company as saying."Accordingly, the effective date of the new minimum wage by AEON Malaysia is earlier than the date recommended by the government, which is by the end of 2022." The general merchandise stores (GMS) cum supermarket chain said the new RM1,500 salary per month is just the basic salary and does not include allowances or other incentives.

AEON said the move is in line with its AEON Sayap Bagimu's sustainability initiative, which aims to provide opportunities, encouragement, and support to stakeholders, especially those in need

Chief human resources officer cum director of corporate communication Kasuma Satria Mat Jadi said the decision was made based on employees' best interests and welfare to help alleviate the living cost while also supporting the government's recommendation."AEON Malaysia is supported by about 13,000 employees of various grades nationwide," she said."Known as 'AEON Warriors', they are the company's most valuable assets. Their welfare and livelihoods are our key priority."

Image via AEON Taman Maluri Shopping Centre (Facebook)

The company had previously raised the minimum wage from RM1,100 to RM1,200 per month in February 2020 following the mandate of Budget 2020

It added that implementing the minimum wage hike is also in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 8), where the focus is on providing good jobs and economic growth.

Image via Booking.com

Today, 16 February, the company's name trended on Twitter and has garnered over 41,000 tweets on the platform at the time of writing.Many netizens lauded AEON for taking the lead in the government's aspiration to increase the minimum wage, with some saying that they will support its businesses even more from hereon.

Earlier this month, the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) said that raising the minimum wage to RM1,500 will derail the economic recovery:

                MEF: RM1,500 Minimum Wage Will Not Only Kill Businesses But Also Derail Economic Recovery

This Is The iOS Update We’ve All Been Waiting For

Apple's annual WWDC Conference took place in San Francisco on Monday, 13 June. As usual, it was packed with significant upgrades to iOS and its other operating systems.

Image via Apple

During the two-hour event, Apple execs gave a rundown of all the enhancements coming to the iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Mac OS X.

OS X has a new name, Apple Watch gets a nifty upgrade and Apple Music is getting an image overhaul

Image via Complex

OS X has been renamed to macOS, and the upcoming iteration will be called Sierra. The beta version will be launching in July with the final version releasing later in the year. One of the biggest features of Sierra is continuity over all Apple devices. With its Universal Clipboard, users are able to copy and paste images and documents across devices.

Image via The Verge

The new watchOS will help the Apple Watch to load much faster, thanks to its background refreshing feature. Other new features include a keyboard called "Scribble" that wearers can use to respond to a message by drawing.

Image via Forbes

Some of the features include the ability to display song lyrics during playback and improved discovery options in the Browse and For You sections.

While all these announcements are cool and much expected from the tech giant, one upgrade stood out from the rest.
Starting with iOS 10, users will be able to delete the company's built-in apps like Maps, Calculator and Compass!

Image via Giphy

It's about time, eh?

Users who've downloaded the developer beta are confirming the change

Confirmed: stock apps are removable!!! pic.twitter.com/hk7Jk98Rli— Matt Ellison (@iWindowsTech) June 13, 2016

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING, GUYS.

Apple has also released a Help page on how to remove the built-in apps

Apple CEO Tim Cook said last September that the company is looking to give users more flexibility to their devices. Well, looks like the man kept to his word.

The developer beta version of iOS 10 is available now, with the public beta coming in July

It will officially be available for most iPhones and iPads later this year (most likely before the new iPhone releases).

Thanks to Kamarudin's efforts, his home had been selected to participate at the state level for the home decoration competition by the state information department

1. It Would Affect The Business Community And Stock Markets

The Sultan said that Selangor had been a centre of nationwide and international commerce even before Independence and switching to a Friday-Saturday weekend might discourage investments and affect business dealings in the state.

        thestar.com.my

“There are many international businesses in Selangor and I do not think that the banking community would like it (a change).
“If Friday is a public holiday, it will be hard to coordinate with other countries, including Singapore.
“It will be hard for the business community to carry out their transactions and it could affect the stock markets,”

2. There Are No Complaints From The Muslim Community On Any Problems In Performing Friday Prayers

Sultan Sharafuddin said in Selangor that there have been no complaints from the Muslim community on any problems in performing the Friday prayers.

"Every time I go to a mosque in Selangor on Friday, it is always full. The employers have always been accommodating and allowed their staff to perform their religious duties.
"There is no reason for us to change it (the weekend) to Friday (and Saturday)," he said.

Malaysian Diplomat Wanted In New Zealand For Sexually Assaulting 21-Year-Old Girl

Former Malaysian Diplomat Says He Isn't Guilty Of Sexual Assault And Burglary

In his latest court hearing, the former second warrant officer denied charges of burglary and assault with intent to commit sexual violation and will reappear in court next February.

New Zealand Foreign Minister Launches Ministerial Inquiry Into Sexual Attack After Alleged Victim Called For His Resignation

Alleged victim, Tania Billingsley says Malaysian diplomat Muhammad Rizalman bin Ismail followed her home and attempted to rape her on 9 May 2014
Image via imgur.com

New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully on Friday announced a ministerial inquiry into the way diplomatic officials enabled a Malaysian diplomat to flee the country after he was charged in connection to a sex attack. McCully has come under renewed pressure after the alleged victim of the attack, who was 21 at the time, publicly called on him to resign over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade's ( MFAT) "incompetent" handling of the case.

        globalpost.com

“He’s so intent on trying to put the responsibility on everybody else that he wasn’t putting energy towards fixing what had happened,” she said. “It’s embarrassing watching a grown man trying to put blame and talk his way out of what is failure at his own job... I think he should resign.”

        nst.com.my

"The inquiry report will recommend ways to rectify shortcomings and strengthen processes for the future management of diplomatic immunity cases," McCully said in a statement. "These events have had a serious impact on a young woman and have quite rightly undermined public confidence in the ability of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It is important that we do all we can to improve the management of these cases."

        globalpost.com

McCully said in a statement he'd publicly apologized to Billingsley for "the poor management of this case."

Mohammed Rizalman Bin Ismail

Malaysia says it will send an envoy back to New Zealand to face an attempted rape charge as a diplomatic storm erupted over the case.

        theguardian.com

This would allow Muhammad Rizalman bin Ismail to "cooperate fully and assist the New Zealand authorities" in investigations, it said. The Malaysian government said on Wednesday that the legal principle of "innocent until proven guilty" should apply to the accused.

        bbc.com

"Malaysia has complete faith in the New Zealand legal system and has full confidence that Mr Muhammad Rizalman will be given fair treatment with dignity as provided under the law," it said.

        bbc.com

It added that a senior military officer from Malaysia's defence ministry will accompany the diplomat, and the government would provide legal assistance if necessary.

        bbc.com

New Zealand foreign minister Murray McCully said this was a "very welcome development, which underlines the good faith and integrity with which they [Malaysia] have approached this issue".

Contacted by The Star yesterday, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman confirmed that the accused was a Malaysian diplomat and that he had been recalled.

“Just because he is a diplomat does not mean he gets off scot-free,” Anifah said. “Diplomatic immunity is not about having the licence to commit crime. “I have spoken to our High Commissioner (in New Zealand),” he added.

Asked why the diplomat had been recalled, the minister said there could have been a misinterpretation of an email sent to Wisma Putra by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

As Of 23 November, Panasonic Malaysia Has Called Off The 'I Love Myself Beauty Search 2014' In Light Of The Mass Criticism Surrounding The Beauty Contest After The Brand Neglected To Include Social Media Favourite Ashley Grieg In Its Shortlist Of Participants

Ignoring the girl at the centre of the furor, Ashley Greig, Panasonic Malaysia issued a public apology to contestants of the beauty contest in general for choosing to bring the entire event to a halt, likely disappointing the 216 contestants who have been shortlisted.

We were surprised to find out that the brand initially refused to issue a public apology, possibly relenting after realising that they will "be in bigger trouble with the media and the public" if they do not do so.

The Rules: Contestants Are Required To Post A Photo Of Themselves On Facebook Or Instagram, From Which 216 Women Will Be Shortlisted For A Free Makeover Based On Online Votes. 20 Finalists Will Then Be Selected Based On Online Votes (30%) And The Judges' Decision (70%).

Participants had to submit a photo via Facebook or Instagram and garner votes from the public. They will then be shortlisted and for a free makeover session and then ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures will be uploaded online for another round of voting. Top 20 finalists will be selected to attend the finale where they will stand a chance to win a fully-paid tour for two to Japan and gifts up to RM55,000.

The contest's terms and conditions only asked for contestants to be aged 20 and above. No other physical requirements were stipulated.

The Contest Caught The Attention Of Ashley Greig, A Lecturer Of English From Sunway University, Who Decided To Give The Beauty Search A Try. By The Time Voting Ended On 23 October, Her Entry Had Garnered More Than 1,500 Likes, Making Her The Contestant With The Highest Amount Of Votes In The First Round Of The Competition.

She had entered the competition knowing that she would be probably up against girls who fulfil the general predictable standards of beauty: tall, slim, fair, and model-like. But she entered the competition anyway with one sole goal: to change the perception of beauty in the society.

        vulcanpost.com

Ashley said, “The problem with society, we like to categorise things. It’s easier for people to manage one category at a time, having put everyone into one is too much variety. But that is why I joined this competition, I thought it would be the first in the country that would not be focused on size, but more on confidence and loving yourself. Those are two important aspects that they were looking for in the winner.”

Confused, Ashley Contacted Panasonic To Ask Why She Wasn't Included In The Shortlist And If They Were Looking For Contestants With Specific Physical Attributes, To Which The Brand Asserted That Candidates Were Selected Based On The 30:70 System And That The Judges' Decisions Were Final

Ashley herself sent an email to Panasonic, and after 4-5 hours they replied saying that the list for the shortlisted ones were final. She sent another email asking them if they were looking for specific physical attributes in their contestants.

What Didn't Add Up: Panasonic's Explanation Would Have Been Plausible, If Not For The Terminology Used In The Contest's Mechanics. A Graphic Shared On Its Facebook Page Implied That The 30:70 System Will Only Come Into Play In "Next Round Qualifications", Rather Than The Shortlist Round.

The picture shared by Panasonic states that the ‘next round qualification will be based on public vote and judges’ decision’. ‘Next round’ sounds like it’s referring to selecting the finalists from the 216 shortlisted participants.

Similarly, in the Terms and Conditions stipulated by Panasonic Beauty Malaysia states that "Finalists will be chosen by the Organiser based on the judges’ evaluation and online votes. The judging system is as follows:  70% for judges’ evaluation, 30% for online votes. The Organiser’s decision shall be final and no further correspondence or appeal will be entertained."

In Her Shock And Disappointment, Ashley Took To Facebook To Express Her Feelings And To Lament The Fact That She Wasn't Able To "Beat The System" To Change Society's Perception Of Beauty. She Also Thanked Her Supporters Who Have Had Her Back "From Day One", Even Addressing The "Haters" Who Had Laughed At Her "For Even Bothering To Try".

A Few Days Later, Ashley Wrote Another Post Chronicling Her Journey From Before She Decided To Join The Contest Up Until The Disappointing Conclusion, Stating That She Felt Upset Not Because She Did Not Win, But That She Was "Denied The Chance To Even Try To Change The Perception Of Beauty In A Society Where Only Physical Features Were Deemed Important"

The Social Media Outroar: Ashley's Supporters Rallied And Came Out In Full Force To Demand An Explanation From Panasonic Malaysia As Well As To Criticise Them For Their Unfair Judging Decisions, Discrepancies In Contest Rules And Using Online Voting To Get "Free Publicity"

According to Greig, friends and even people she'd never met stormed Panasonic's Facebook site, expressing their anger at the perceived unfairness, the breaking of its own contest rules, and the use of online voting for "cheap publicity".

So, What Does Panasonic Malaysia Have To Say About The Ensuing Outrage? Throughout The Fiasco, Panasonic Has Stood By Their Decision, Stating That Decisions Made Were Final And Were Always Meant To Adhere To The Pre-Defined 30% Online Votes And 70% Judges' Decision Criteria.

The brand has done little to quench the flames, choosing to reiterate that the decision was made on a 30 percent online vote and 70 percent judge's choice, without acknowledging the discrepency between the terms "finalists" and "shortlist" in its terms and conditions. The brand has also continued to insist on the search for "inner radiance" without acknowledging that outer beauty appears to count for more.

In A Facebook Post, The Brand Merely Expressed Their Regret On The "Confusion Regarding The Selection Process" And Stated That The Contest Will Be Put On Hold While They "Look Into And Improve" The Contest's Selection Mechanics

Panasonic responded to a query if they have any plans to apologise for the misunderstanding with the following response:"We regret that there has been some confusion and would like to highlight that we have responded to and addressed comments regarding the selection process, during the course of the I Love Myself Beauty Search 2014."

Staff At Several Klang Valley PPVs Alleged To Be Abusing Patient Info To Harass Women

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

Several women have been sharing that staff at vaccination centres (PPVs) in Klang Valley have been misusing their information during registration to send them unsolicited texts

This comes after a Twitter user reported that his 18-year-old sister was harassed by a World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) PPV staff.According to Malaysiakini, the user called for the Special Committee for Ensuring Access to COVID-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) to take action after the PPV staff contacted his sister on Tuesday, 13 July.The user mentioned that his sister's phone number was misused and it is a violation of privacy."Women should not have to face these kinds of unwanted advances," he tweeted.SAYS tried to reach out to the user but have not received a comment at the time of publishing.

After his tweet went viral, more women then came forward with allegations of being harassed at PPVs, one of them by the same WTCKL staff

The woman told SAYS that on Sunday, 11 July, around 10.15am, her sister requested help from a Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) volunteer when she got lost in the basement parking while trying to exit WTCKL. While guiding her to the entrance, the ATM volunteer asked when is her second dose appointment, to which she said she does not know yet. However, the ATM volunteer was persistent and asked her to open her MySejahtera app. She showed her COVID-19 information page, which displayed that her second appointment information was still unavailable. To which, he then asked to check her profile page. The woman said that her sister realised something was off when the ATM volunteer the suddenly held his phone like he was taking a picture of her phone screen. She quickly closed the app and told him that she knew how to exit then.The woman told SAYS that because of the way he was acting, her sister already knew that the ATM volunteer might have noted her personal information. So once she received the following text, she blocked the number right away.

Image via Twitter

Another woman told SAYS that she also received similar unsolicited messages but from a staff at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) PPV in Shah Alam

She said that on 28 May, around 5pm, a man who was working at the registration counter checked her MySejahtera details and read her phone number out loud as if he was trying to memorise it.The woman told SAYS she expected him to contact her because of his weird behaviour at the registration counter. She immediately blocked the number. "I didn't have the guts to do so (report) and this happened in May. But after seeing another tweet about the volunteers abusing their authority, I decided to do the same thing," she said about coming forward.She added that an IDCC staff had contacted her after seeing her tweet and assured her that the incident has been reported to their supervisor and action has been taken on the man."I hope people are aware of this. Blocking him alone won't stop him [from] continuing to do this to other girls. They could be sexual predators too and we'd never know. I hope they learn their lesson," she said."It sucks that we girls have to go through this."

According to Malaysiakini, another woman reported that the same man had harassed her on 31 May. The man used similar tactics of checking her MySejahtera details at the registration counter to take down her number.

Image via Twitter

JKJAV responded that that have taken note of the WTCKL PPV incident and disciplinary action has been taken against the ATM volunteer by his agency

In the response that was tweeted yesterday, 14 July, JKJAV also added that the agency has a zero-tolerance policy for the behaviour that has been reported.SAYS has reached out to JKJAV about the ongoing issue but have yet to receive a reply.SAYS also reached out to ATM and was directed to their tweet yesterday, in which they said that they will conduct an internal investigation and will provide an update once it is done.Harassment at PPVs are an ongoing issue, as last month, Malaysiakini reported of a similar case where a PPV doctor who had consulted a woman on her vaccine jab later sent her unsolicited texts.

German YouTuber Visits Deserted Jonker Walk In Melaka & Buys 1 Item From Every Stall

A German YouTuber's kind gesture has touched the hearts of Malaysian netizens after he made an effort to support the small businesses still open along Melaka's popular tourist spot, Jonker Walk

Ken Döscher, the German traveller from YouTube channel Ken Abroad, shared a video of himself buying one item from every stall at the weekend night market after he saw how quiet and deserted it had become."It's a little bit sad to see that almost no shops are open,"  Döscher remarked as he looked around the night market on Saturday evening, 21 November.He had actually visited the market when it was still bustling during his first visit to Melaka before the Movement Control Order (MCO) was implemented in March.Seeing the stark difference, he said, "I thought I would like to give them some business. Maybe some hope as well."

Image via Ken Abroad (YouTube)

As he walked down the street buying something from each of the vendors, he asked them why they stayed open despite having little to no tourists or customers around

"The show have to go on. Some try to open stall, try to survive, try to do business," answered a vendor selling sunglasses.When asked how the market was doing, a dried squid seller replied, "Yesterday ah? I think less than fifty people. All night. Whole night."The same seller also told Döscher that some vendors opened their stalls because they had already paid their rent in advance until December, and many had actually already downsized and let go their workers because they could not afford to pay them.

Image via Ken Abroad (YouTube)

When news of Döscher purchasing one item from every stall went down the street, many thanked him for the small gesture

"Thank you. You are very kind," said a grateful mobile accessories seller when she heard what he was doing.In the video, another stall owner could be heard shouting teasingly across the street, "Eh, you didn't support me!" to which Döscher apologised for overlooking and said he would quickly go right over to get something.Throughout the video, Döscher also repeatedly wished the stall owners, "Good luck with your business" after his purchases.

Image via Ken Abroad (YouTube)

At the end, the YouTuber, who has been living in Malaysia for over eight months now due to the pandemic, said he hoped that his video may encourage someone else to do the same

"Maybe I can spread some positive vibes through this video and encourage people to support the local businesses instead of, for example, buying food from the big chains," he explained."It's always better to support the local stalls, the local businesses, that is the purpose of this video," said Döscher, who has continued to share his adventures in the country on his channel.

Netizens flooded the comments with appreciation for his generosity during these difficult times

Tak Salahkan Haziq Jaring Gol Sendiri, Tragedi 2001 Berulang Kembali

Perlawanan akhir bola sepak Sukan Sea telah menyaksikan kemenangan berpihak kepada pasukan Thailand dengan mata 1-0 menentang pasukan Malaysia di Stadium Shah Alam, malam tadi

Penyokong tegar bola sepak tanah air berasa sangat kecewa apabila penjaga gol Muhammad Haziq Nadzli menjaringkan gol sendiri sehingga menghadiahkan kemenangan dan pingat emas.Namun, menurut jurulatih skuad Bawah 22 Tahun (B-22) negara, Datuk Ong Kim Swee, beliau  enggan menyalahkan Haziq kerana kesilapan penjaga gol berusia 20 tahun itu yang tertumbuk bola ke gawang sendiri ketika cuba mengeluarkan bola sepakan sudut pada minit ke-39, boleh terjadi kepada mana-mana pemain.

"Ia situasi sukar buat Haziq, dan kesilapan itu boleh berlaku ke atas mana-mana pemain. Kita tak boleh menyalahkan dia, dia masih muda dan masih belajar lagi," katanya dalam sidang media selepas perlawanan itu.

        bharian.com.my

“Saya tahu bukan mudah untuk dia (Muhammad Haziq) menerimanya. Saya tidak menyalahkan dia dan berharap dia dapat melupakan perkara itu," sambungnya lagi.

Ini menjadikan episod sama yang berlaku pada tahun 2001 berulang kembali di mana Malaysia tewas dengan keputusan sama apabila kesilapan penjaga gol Kamaruzaman Hassan menghadiahkan kemenangan buat skuad Thailand di padang yang sama

Kamarulzaman dan Muhammad Haziq melakukan kesilapan serupa iaitu gagal menjinakkan hantaran dari sebelah kiri gawang. Bezanya Kamarulzaman menepis umpanan lintang Sarawut Treephan ke dalam gawang sendiri pada minit-minit akhir perlawanan manakala Muhammad Haziq menumbuk sepakan sudut Sasalak Haiprakhon pada minit ke-38.

Bekas pengendali kebangsaan itu berkata beliau berpuas hati dengan prestasi pemain sepanjang kejohanan ini, namun tetap melahirkan rasa kecewa kerana gagal memenangi emas yang ditunggu-tunggu untuk melengkapkan status juara keseluruhan temasya Kuala Lumpur 2017."Kita beri saingan hebat kepada Thailand, tapi kita beri gol kepada mereka tidak kena pada masanya. Kita cuba bangkit tapi tetap gagal mencari gol."Saya tak gembira kerana tak memenangi pingat emas tapi secara keseluruhan saya berpuas hati dengan prestasi pemain dengan masa terhad yang kita lalui sebelum ini," kata Kim Swee.

Kekalahan pasukan Harimau Malaya malam tadi diraikan dengan hujan seakan menandakan malam suram buat penyokong Malaysia yang membanjiri Stadium Shah Alam tanpa sorakan Ultras Malaya, susulan memboikot isu penjualan tiket sebelum perlawanan

Sementara itu Malaysia meraih 29 pingat emas lagi hari ini untuk menjadikan jumlah kutipan keseluruhan 140 dengan acara silat menjadi penyumbang terbesar setelah memenangi tujuh pingat.Kami mengucapkan tahniah buat semua atlet-atlet Malaysia yang bertanding. Anda semua amat membanggakan rakyat Malaysia! #BangkitBersama!

Beware Of This Motorcyclist Who Injures Himself For Money In Sentul

A woman has warned the public to be vigilant of a road scam after she was recently deceived by a man who claimed that his foot was ran over by her car

Image via Umie Adam

Facebook user Umie Adam shared about her experience on social media on 25 October of how she fell for a road scam when a motorcyclist cheated her by faking injuries.During the 23 October incident, Umie was driving near the UTC (Urban Transformation Centre) Sentul when she was about to cross a junction and the said motorcyclist appeared beside her car. Umie explained that she did not have a clear view as her vision was obstructed by the motorcyclist and a car that was parked at the curb. According to her, the motorcyclist kept blocking her view even as she tried to creep out inch by inch.

Suddenly, the motorcyclist approached her and said, "Akak, tayar kereta you pijak kaki I (Sister, your car's tyre ran over my foot)."

Umie was shocked and worried upon hearing the statement, fearing that she might have hurt the man. She quickly reversed her car and apologised to the man, who then told her to stop by the roadside. As soon as she got down from her car, Umie apologised and observed his foot."There was no wound or any other signs that his foot was ran over by tyres. I asked him to walk, and he was limping," she said.

Umie then offered to take the man to the clinic for medical treatment but he persistently refused

Umie said that he repeatedly rejected the idea of going to a nearby clinic even when she told him that she would bear the costs for the treatment. The man also apparently said that "there's no clinic nearby" although Umie pointed out that there was one around the corner. He went on saying that it was his first day of work and going to a clinic would be troublesome as the doctor would ask him to go for follow-up visits.

The man then demanded Umie to give RM20 to "settle" the case, saying that he would use the money and go to a clinic himself

This was when she realised that something was amiss and suspected that this man was probably a fraudster since he was so insistent of not going to the clinic but wanted cash instead.Realising that the man could be faking injuries to scam her, Umie then said she had no cash with her and that she would have used her card to pay for his medical bills if only they went to a clinic together.To this, man said he would follow Umie to the bank and wait for her to withdraw the cash to compensate him.

Eventually, the negotiations between Umie and the man ended with the former paying RM13, which she borrowed from a friend who was with her at that time

Image via Umie Adam

They went on their own ways after that but they met again soon after, as Umie's car stopped at the traffic light. Umie and her friend saw the same motorcyclist squeezing his bike in between two cars. They were surprised when they saw with their own eyes how the man was stretching his left leg towards a car while he knocked on the car's window. Only then was Umie's suspicions confirmed as she realised that the man was using the same tactic to scam other drivers.

It was learned that the other driver ignored the motorcyclist but the fraudster continued to trail the car and pestered the driver to stop

Umie said that she too, followed them from behind, as she was dissatisfied that she had been conned by the motorcyclist. Nevertheless, when the motorcyclist realised that he was being followed by Umie, he sped off and escaped from the scene.According to Umie, it was the first time that she was faced with such a situation and she warned others not to fall for such a road scam. She also said that she had lodged a police report over the incident.

Speaking of which, here are some things you can do to protect yourself if you ever got into an accident:

But, you parked at the wrong spot," he said.To which the woman retorted saying that she had nowhere else to park and that she had bought her food quickly, so why did he clamp her car.

3. When the MPSJ officer asked the woman to show proof (OKU card) in order to qualify to park there and to verify her claims, the woman failed to produce any sort of proof

Here's How TNB Aims To Improve Power Quality & Pave The Way For Renewable Energy In M'sia

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by TNB.

To ensure all Malaysians receive quality power supply, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has established the Grid of The Future programme

Image via TNB

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation in Malaysia, which led to an increase in heavy usage of technology among users. Hence, TNB has taken the necessary steps to both ensure power quality and restart the economy by modernising the National Grid with their programme.During an interview with The Malaysian Reserve, TNB's Chief Grid Officer, Datuk Husaini Husin, said that since the nation is more digitally-driven, the power grid must be capable of ensuring power stability."We are becoming smarter in technology, which means we are also becoming more technologically-intensive."Just a small flicker of electricity supply can make productivity difficult, so we look to ensure TNB delivers the power quality," Datuk Husaini said.

Around RM27 billion will be invested by the utility group, which includes important core upgrades and expansions between 2021 to 2023

Image via The Malaysian Reserve

With this investment, it is projected to deliver an estimated gross domestic product (GDP) impact of RM20 billion, as well as create over 300,000 jobs in the next three years.The great thing about the Grid Of The Future programme is that there are six investment categories, which are new grid connection, grid refurbishment, safety and environment compliance, self-healing grid, grid digital intelligence infrastructure, and smart tools and equipment.

Not only will these efforts improve the energy infrastructure in Malaysia, but it also paves the way towards sustainable energy

This can be seen by TNB's efforts to digitalise the grid to improve operational efficiency. Datuk Husaini has also said that this smart grid would help increase network reliability and grid control to allow for better troubleshooting, as well as increase integration of distributed energy resources and renewable energy."We also look to unleash workforce capability to improve in customer-facing areas and customer service on top of excelling under the incentive-based regulation, thus improving productivity and practising a high safety culture."Other key focus areas include supporting government-led initiatives to help drive the energy transition in Malaysia, as well as digitalising business interfaces which will improve productivity," he said.

The National Grid supplies 9.44 million homes and businesses along the length and breadth of Peninsular Malaysia

The grid has played an important role in TNB's efforts for energy transformation, and the company is investing heavily in the national grid to improve its capacity to reliably and efficiently support the growing generation of renewable energy by its prosumers.As the grid becomes fully automated, customers and workers will be able to better manage the consumption and supply of energy.To ensure a safe, secure, and reliable national grid system, TNB's strategy is to leverage new technology and improve efficiency by creating a self-healing grid, and utilising demand management more effectively.According to Datuk Husaini, the grid's peak demand has decreased marginally this year as a result of the movement control order and mobility restrictions, which have reduced commercial power use."The peak demand has decreased marginally in the Peninsular to 18,808 megawatt-hours, but with the re-opening of the economy and business, it will increase back to pre-Covid levels and likely even more," he said.

All in all, TNB's top priority is to power the nation whilst ensuring that its critical infrastructure remains running and functioning, even during a global pandemic

TNB aims to work together with the government to understand the implications,  continue to support the lives and livelihoods of Malaysians, and determine ways to limit immediate impacts, all while charting a path to a swift and lasting recovery. One of TNB's initiatives, known as TNB’s Reskilling Malaysia Programme, was established to reskill and upskill Malaysia's workforce via UNITEN, ILSAS, and various other training bodies. This will be especially useful for those who are unemployed or retrenched, as they can gain employment by participating in the training courses required for selected industries. All courses under this programme are applicable and open to non-TNB employees.TNB's Reskilling Malaysia Programme aims to provide training to 5,000 people by 2021, with a total of 17,500 people trained by 2024.

[VIDEO] Kes Covid-19 Meningkat Tinggi, Keadaan Pusat Kuarantin MAEPS Serdang Semakin Padat

Umum mengetahui keadaan terkini wabak penularan Covid-19 di negara kita yang semakin meningkat

Oleh kerana itu, keputusan membuka semula Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) sebagai PKRC MAEPS 2.0 itu dibuat berikutan peningkatan mendadak kes Covid-19.Malah, disebabkan padatnya pusat rawatan berisiko rendah, kementerian kesihatan kini mengutamakan pesakit yang tidak mempunyai persekitaran kondusif untuk kuarantin di rumah.Namun, tular satu video perkongsian di Facebook menunjukkan keadaan terkini di pusat kuarantin dan rawatan Covid-19 di MAEPS Serdang yang semakin membimbangkan.

Mereka yang dikuarantin di sini adalah pesakit positif Covid-19 tahap 1 (tidak bergejala) dan tahap 2 (bergejala ringan)

Menerusi video tersebut, jelas kelihatan pusat kuarantin tersebut kini semakin dibanjiri dengan orang yang mempunyai gejala wabak berkenaan.Menurut sumber, sebelum itu Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah berkata, kapasiti semasa di hospital dan kemudahan rawatan berisiko rendah hanya terhad kepada 23,000 tempat tidur.

"Setakat ini kita boleh tampung, tetapi jika kita lihat kes-kes aktif, jumlahnya (lebih) 22,000 kapasiti. Kapasiti kita 23,000,” “Kami sedang mengutamakan kes-kes yang tidak mempunyai keadaan yang kondusif untuk kuarantin. Sebagai contoh, kami menempatkan pekerja asing di MAEPS,” katanya.

"Macam nak masuk asrama je gayanya" - Netizen

Sementara itu, warganet turut memberikan reaksi mereka apabila melihat video berkenaan.Rata-ratanya terkejut dengan keadaan terkini pusat kuarantin terbabit dan sangat bimbang melihat betapa ramainya orang di sana.

Pizza Hut Comes Up With An Ingenious Way To Watch Movies With Your Pizza Box

Attention all pizza and movie lovers - the day that you've been waiting for is finally here...

Image via Giphy

Pizza Hut is topping their pizza delivery with something extra special: pizza boxes that convert into MOVIE PROJECTORS. No kidding. Not edible either.

Image via Quartz

Pizza Hut has released a pizza box that is also a movie projector. The company will deliver it to your front door. The box comes with a special lens that will beam a movie – played on your iPhone – on to your wall, or screen, or sister.

        theguardian.com

Designed by Oglivy and Mather Hong Kong as a marketing stunt, the 'Blockbuster Box' comes with a pop-out hole at the side of the box and a pizza table (the little thing that holds your pizza in place) with projector lens

Image via TheVerge

All you have to do next is to pop up the hole and push it in the projector lens

Image via Vimeo

There'll be a QR code at the side of the box where you can scan with your phone, it will then bring you to a webpage with a movie for your viewing pleasure. Voila! You're good to go!

Image via Vimeo

There are four different boxes, each comes with a different movie for you to watch

Image via Vimeo

They're called Slice Night (for horror fans), Anchovy Armageddon (for science-fiction), Hot & Ready (for romance), and Fully Loaded (for an action flick).

        theverge.com

We would really love to try it out although it might get our phones greasy and oily from sticking it in the box. But first, we'll have to figure out a way to Hong Kong because the box is only available there...

Bukan mudah untuk seorang ibu yang mempunyai masalah penglihatan untuk mencari rezeki dan menjaga anak-anaknya dengan sebaik mungkin. "Keluarga saya tidak sempurna, tapi cukup luar biasa. Dibesarkan oleh seorang ibu yang cacat penglihatan. Bagi saya, umi merupakan wanita yang cukup sempurna. Dia berniaga tisu pada waktu malam di kawasan Kuala Lumpur.""Kadang-kadang ada wartawan yang mengambil gambarnya sesuka hati dan menggelarnya sebagai pengemis pada tahun 2000. Saya pernah teman umi meniaga tisu ketika cuti PMR.""Cara umi bekerja, dia tidak pernah paksa orang beli tisunya, apa yang dikatakan hanyalah cik derma ikhlas." Gadis itu menjelaskan kepada ibunya suatu ketika dulu yang satu hari nanti dia akan menjelaskan perkara sebenar supaya tiada yang buruk sangka dan bersifat sombong dengan golongan ini. Namun, ibunya kini telah meninggal dunia kerana menghidap kanser Ovari tahap empat.

My 85-Year-Old Grandfather Tells Me What It Was Like When Malaysians Voted In GE1

The much anticipated GE14, dubbed the "mother of all elections", is almost upon us. Come 9 May, registered Malaysian voters will play their part in determining which party will govern the country for the next five years.

With all the buzz surrounding the 14th general election, I brought up the topic of the country's previous general elections during a family dinner. What was it like to participate in the first-ever parliamentary election in Malaysia?It was then when my 85-year-old grandfather revealed to me that he had not only voted in GE1, but was also the Returning Officer in Kelantan, back in 1959!

Image via New Straits Times

My grandfather, Abdul Aziz, was born in Kampung Pasir Pekan, Kelantan in 1933. He has voted in every single general election of Malaysia!

To get a glimpse of what it was like when GE1 was held, I asked my grandfather to take us on a walk down memory lane to the Federation of Malaya in 1959.

How did you become a Returning Officer on the day of GE1?

Abdul Aziz: I was in Pasir Mas, Kelantan. I was Assistant District Officer there, and the District Officer was an Englishman who didn't want to be involved in the election process, so he appointed me to be a returning officer in Pasir Mas. The role made me responsible for overseeing GE1.

Abdul Aziz became Assistant District Officer of Pasir Mas, Kelantan in 1956.
Image via Katrina Khairul Azman

What was the atmosphere like on the day of GE1?

Abdul Aziz: It didn't feel like just any ordinary day. It was the first ever general election post-Merdeka, and there was something in the air. It was very meriah.

Abdul Aziz speaking as Chairman of the Machang Youth Club in Kelantan in 1960.

Abdul Aziz: In the days leading up to GE1, the government had to work hard to persuade people to vote because many didn't understand what the voting was for. To those who were educated and understood, this was a very important occasion. They paid a lot of attention to the campaigns and made effort to persuade others to vote for their preferred candidates.With proper encouragement and dissemination of information, I think maybe around 70% of the people in Kelantan came out to vote. That added a little drama to the day itself, because we weren't sure many people were going to turn up. We were all on our toes.

What memory of GE1 stands out to you the most?

Abdul Aziz: Everyone was quite confused. It was an exciting moment in time, yes, but it was also a historic one. The first general election after Hari Merdeka, the first parliamentary election in Malaya. Many people didn't know how to vote, and didn't bother finding out beforehand.

Abdul Aziz (third from bottom left) and friends at the Lions Club of Kota Bharu function in 1960.

Abdul Aziz: Instead of crossing the ballot paper and putting it into the ballot box, many just drew an 'X' on the wall of the polling booth, placed their identity cards into the ballot box, and took home the ballot papers!How did I know that? When the other officers and I counted the votes that night, we found so many identity cards and noticed the markings on the booth walls! It took us a few days to trace back all the owners of the ICs, and when we visited them to return their ICs, they all gave us back the ballot papers they took home. It was a shame that their votes weren't counted, but I couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Do you have a message to young Malaysian voters?

Abdul Aziz: This is our tanah air. Every Malaysian shares a responsibility to protect it. We do this by choosing wisely who we think can lead us to greater heights; who has the best intentions for Malaysia, and who has the best plans for Malaysia.I can remember a time when we didn't have a choice who lead us. Now we have a choice, and I hope Malaysians make full use of it. Decide which party and which candidate you believe in, and then go out and vote for them.

Will you be voting on 9 May?

Abdul Aziz: Of course! I have voted in every single general election in this country to date. For as long as I live, I will go out and exercise my right to vote.
