Beer Drinkers, You'll Have To Pay More For These Brands Starting 1 April

With effect from 1 April onwards, two popular brewers will be increasing its prices on beer and stout by up to 6.2%

According to The Edge Markets, Heineken Malaysia Bhd and Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia confirmed that the prices are set to rise in a report yesterday, 12 March.

Image via Aspire

The price hike is said to be a result of increasing costs in raw materials and packaging

It will be the first increase from the two companies since the reintroduction of the sales and service tax (SST) in September last year.

Image via Trip Advisor

New Straits Times reported that the price adjustment for some Carlsberg products will be between 3% and 6.2%, while Heineken Malaysia's new prices will be between 0% and 5% per pack.

Nonetheless, the brewers reassured its customers that they have made every effort to reduce the impact of the new prices

"Whilst consumer sentiment improved in 2018, we are mindful of the impact of a price adjustment on sales. As such, we have done our best to keep the adjustment to be as minimal and least disruptive as possible," said Heineken in a statement to The Edge.

Meanwhile, Carlsberg's managing director Lars Lehmann told New Straits Times that they are "mindful of the impact of any price adjustment" and are keeping it at a minimum to ensure that "its products remain affordable" for consumers.


Belanja RM4 Juta, Kutip RM37,000. Kenapa Filem Oh! LaLa Gagal Teruk?

"Oh! LaLa? Cerita apa tu? Tak pernah dengar pun."

Image via whicdn.com

Kemungkinan, inilah soalan yang berada di dalam benak fikiran ramai orang sebaik sahaja nama filem Oh! LaLa disebut. Bukan setakat tidak popular, malah orang ramai memang tak pernah dengar langsung tajuk filem ini.

Untuk menjawab soalan di atas, kita lihat kepada 6 fakta tentang filem ini dahulu:

1. Oh! LaLa merupakan karya penerbit dan pengarah Datuk Abdul Rahman Sallehudin. Beliau yang memiliki 30 tahun pengalaman dalam industri animasi berhasrat untuk menghasilkan satu karya tempatan yang hebat.

Image via youtube.com

"Saya banyak menonton filem-filem animasi dari luar negara, antaranya Show White, Toy Story dan Brave. Walaupun diterbitkan dalam bentuk animasi, namun ia sangat menarik.""Saya turut merantau untuk menonton filem animasi dunia dan dari situ saya mula membuat perbandingan. Mengapa kita tidak boleh menghasilkan sesuatu yang hebat seperti itu? kata Datuk Abdul Rahman.

        sinarharian.com.my

2. Ia adalah filem animasi bertemakan muzikal yang pertama di Malaysia

Image via youtube.com

"Setelah membuat kajian, saya mendapati rakyat Malaysia menyukai muzik dan sukan. Jadi, saya memilih muzik untuk diterjemahkan menerusi, Oh La La," katanya.

        sinarharian.com.my

3. Menggunakan sepenuh tenaga kerja daripada anak-anak muda tempatan, yang terdiri daripada bekas-bekas pelajar dari beberapa institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT) termasuk ASWARA, MMU, dan UPSI

Image via sinarharian.com.my

"Untuk pelakon suara, saya mengadakan uji bakat peringkat demi peringkat untuk proses pemilihan. Dalam uji bakat berkenaan, saya dapati ramai dalam kalangan anak muda yang berbakat namun, kurang diberikan peluang.""Kami memilih anak muda yang betul-betul berbakat dan mempunyai kebolehan untuk menyanyi serta berlakon. Malah, ada di kalangan pekerja tetap kami yang mempunyai latar belakang dalam bidang lakonan, nyanyian dan muzik yang menyertai pembikinan filem ini," katanya lagi.

        sinarharian.com.my

4. Proses lakon suara mengambil masa selama enam bulan, dan keseluruhan masa yang diambil untuk menyiapkan filem ini dari segi skrip, idea, dan suntingan adalah dua tahun

Image via sinarharian.com.my

5. Menelan kos produksi RM4 juta, dan mendapat kerjasama daripada FINAS dan turut mendapat bantuan dana kerajaan menerusi geran daripada Kementerian Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia

Image via Facebook FINAS

"Kami mendapat dana kerajaan sebanyak RM2 juta dan selebihnya adalah dana sendiri. Sejujurnya, kos penghasilan filem animasi adalah melebihi filem biasa.""Namun, jika dinilai dari segi kos produksi untuk menghasilkan filem animasi, ia memerlukan kos yang lebih besar. Sebagai contoh penghasilan filem animasi luar negara, mereka membelanjakan sehingga RM400 juta (USD).""Kita agak terikat dengan kos produksi namun itu bukanlah halangan untuk menghasilkan filem yang kurang berkualiti. Kita akan tetap memastikan ianya setanding dengan filem luar," jelasnya lagi.

        sinarharian.com.my

6. Filem ini bakal diterbangkan ke persada dunia termasuk Spain, Istanbul, Australia dan akan melalui promosi di Pasaran TV dan Filem di MIPCOM, Cannes, Perancis pada Oktober 2015 nanti

Image via agencedesresidences.com

"Insya-ALLAH, selepas ini Oh! LaLa akan diperluaskan ke beberapa negara luar termasuk Spain, Istanbul dan Australia. Sebagai persediaan, kami telah menyediakan terjemahan suara dalam Bahasa Inggeris untuk pasaran dunia.""Sekiranya pasaran itu diperluaskan, kami akan menyediakan proses alih suara kerana ada beberapa negara yang tidak begitu 'dekat' dengan Bahasa Inggeris.""Saya berharap, percaturan pertama saya dalam bidang perfileman ini diterima ramai. Sokongan daripada masyarakat kita adalah amat diharapkan," ujar beliau.

        sinarharian.com.my

Malangnya, walaupun menelan kos sebanyak RM4 juta, filem ini hanya berjaya mengutip RM37 ribu sahaja selepas dua minggu tayangan di pawagam, satu angka yang boleh buat kita facepalm

Image via wordpress.com

"Eh? Ada tayang kat wayang? Wayang mana yang ambil?"

Untuk makluman, filem ini ditayangkan di 47 buah pawagam di seluruh negara. Apa yang menyedihkan ialah secara purata, hanya 6 orang sahaja yang menonton filem ini setiap hari di setiap pawagam.

Ada siapa-siapa pernah nampak poster ni kat wayang?
Image via thr.fm

Kenapa filem ini gagal dengan teruk? Di sini kami senaraikan 4 sebab:

1. Trailer yang kurang menarik, tidak memberangsangkan, dan di takuk lama

×

Melihatkan pada trailer filem ini, ia nampak seperti tiada daya tarikan atau x-factor. Walaupun berdurasi selama hanya 2 minit, ada juga yang tidak sanggup untuk menghabiskannya.

2. Kualiti animasi yang rendah dan tidak setara dengan tahun 2015

Image via youtube.com

Jika dibandingkan dengan dua animasi popular dan paling berjaya tempatan, Upin Ipin dan juga BoboiBoy, kualiti filem ini harus diakui amat jauh bezanya. Jadi, tidak hairanlah filem ini tidak mendapat sambutan.

Image via Facebook Amanz Network

Image via Facebook Amanz Network

3. Promosi yang sangat lemah seakan-akan tiada

Image via youtube.com

Sememangnya, ramai yang tidak tahu langsung tentang kewujudan filem ini. Yang peliknya, kos RM4 juta itu takkan langsung tak digunakan untuk promosi? Kalau orang tak tahu memang orang tak akan tengok.

Image via Facebook Amanz Network

4. Bajet disalah guna dan mungkin berlaku pembaziran di mana-mana

Image via Facebook BoboiBoy.

Kalau diikutkan, dana RM4 juta itu sudah cukup besar untuk menghasilkan satu filem animasi yang baik. Buktinya? Produksi Boboiboy hanya menelan kos sebanyak RM2.6 juta untuk menghasilkan 30 episod iaitu bersamaan 330 minit atau 5 jam setengah bagi satu musim.

×

Selain itu, filem animasi sensasi Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula juga menelan kos sebanyak RM4.7 juta. Lihat saja pada hasilnya. Sangat menarik dan menghiburkan. Kutipan di pawagam juga amat memberangsangkan.Jadi, untuk filem berdurasi 1 jam setengah seperti ini, takkan dana RM4 juta itu tak cukup lagi?

Persoalannya, kenapa kualiti filem ini begitu teruk walaupun menelan kos sebanyak RM4 juta?

Image via her.ie

Adakah disebabkan amalan kronisme? Kita sendiri tidak tahu. Melalui ruangan komen di Facebook Amanz Network, ramai yang menjadikan ini sebagai sebab utama.

Image via Facebook Amanz Network

Image via Facebook Amanz Network

Lebih menarik, seorang netizen memberitahu yang sebenarnya, bajet yang disediakan oleh FINAS adalah RM26 juta! Kami bagaimanapun kurang pasti sama ada betul atau tidak.

Image via Facebook Amanz Network

Dalam pada itu, jika dilihatkan pada sejarah, filem animasi tempatan memang kurang mendapat sambutan. Kebanyakannya membawa pulang kutipan yang sangat sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan harga kos. Di mana silapnya?

2 Men Arrested After Snatching Necklaces And Slapping Woman In Viral CCTV Footage

The police have arrested two men for their suspected involvement in a snatch theft that occurred at a pharmacy in Gombak, Selangor on Saturday night, 21 November

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the incident, showing two men wearing face masks staging the theft at the pharmacy on Jalan Gombak, was widely circulated on social media.One suspect, wearing a yellow shirt and black pants, waited outside, while the other - clad fully in black - walked up to the cashier and yanked at a customer's jewellery on her neck as she was about to pay.The video showed that the suspect ran away after successfully pulling off the necklace and slapping the woman in the head when she tried to fight back.According to Bernama, the suspects fled in a red Perodua Myvi that had a fake vehicle licence plate to throw off the police.It was also reported that the victim lost two gold necklaces worth a total of RM10,000.

This Uncle Has The Perfect Response To Haters Who Condemned Him For Wearing Shorts

What do you do when someone calls you out because of your clothing?

Image via Kuan Chee Heng

Kuan Chee Heng is known for his community work for the past 14 years, and he has been hailed as 'Hero Malaya' among netizens for his good deeds. He has been actively involved in crime fighting activities, as well as other charity works. However, volunteerism is no easy task as seen with the former policeman, who was reprimanded recently for wearing shorts when he visited a Muslim family. A few people condemned him and told him off, saying that he should "respect Islamic traditions and customs".

But many people, particularly Muslims, were not having it. They jumped in to defend Kuan from such remarks.

Image via Kuan Chee Heng

They encouraged Kuan and expressed their full support for him. They also said that they appreciated his efforts to reach out to the community who are poor and less privileged.  "Short pants or long pants, it doesn't matter. What's important here is the fact that you have a very good and sincere heart, Abang Kentang," a comment from one Zai Mizan read, referring Kuan to his nickname 'Abang Kentang' that he has gotten from his famous profile photo featuring a potato on Facebook. "Mr Kuan is not a Muslim but he has always helped our Muslim brothers and sisters. Which is more important? His clothing or his sincerity to immediately service our fellow brethren in need of help?" another comment read.  "Relax. The most important thing here is he only has good intentions to help others. We should emulate him," another person said.

Kuan also responded to the matter on his Facebook account, expressing his sincere thoughts to his friends and his 152,000 followers on the issue

Image via Kuan Chee Heng

"I apologise for a thousand times. I was reprimanded for not respecting Islam because I wore shorts while helping others," the 53-year-old said. "I'm disappointed because I was admonished for wearing shorts and I was accused of being disrespectful of Islam when I entered a Muslim's home."  "I feel very aggrieved." "But I think, even if I'm not a Muslim and I wear shorts, maybe I'm a kafir and murtad, but I feel I am called to help them because Allah has arranged a meeting between me and those who have asked for help.""I think those people who have received a helping hand from me would be able to discern better if I respect them or not," he said.

He went on to explain why he wears shorts when he goes about helping others

Image via Kuan Chee Heng

"If I were in a position to carry large rice bags, and other heavy necessities, wearing a long pants would make me feel flustered and also limit my movements, which means that I would be less mobile and that would restrict me from helping as many people as I can.” He further said the issue of wearing long pants shouldn’t be an issue that "makes the poor stay poor, and the hungry stay hungry".

Image via Kuan Chee Heng

“You’re the kind of person who likes to find the bad in others, and I dare swear before Allah that people like you - with your condemnation and criticism - fuel my burning passion to help others. You don’t really lend helping hand to others but your role is to inspire me so that I will continue to help more people." “Wear your long pants and let us help those who are in need, together.” “I hope Allah will open your hearts as Muslims to truly understand and appreciate the true spirit of Islam. Perhaps one day you will receive the true Hidayah (guidance), my friend."

Keep doing what you do best, 'Uncle Kentang'!

"Asal Hebat Di Mata Allah" - Atlet Judo Dilarang Bertanding Kerana Enggan Tanggalkan Hijab

Sukan Para Asia Jakarta-Palembang 2018 menjadi tumpuan ramai selepas atlet buta dari negara tersebut, Miftahul Jannah, dibatalkan kelayakannya untuk bertanding dalam sukan judo semalam, Isnin, 8 Oktober 2018

Image via The Jakarta Post

Miftahul Jannah digugurkan daripada bertanding dalam sukan tersebut kerana enggan menanggalkan tudungnya dalam perlawanan menentang atlet dari Mongolia, Oyun Gatulga di Kemayoran, Jakarta.Keputusan tersebut dibuat berdasarkan peraturan Persekutuan Judo Antarabangsa (IJF) yang melarang penutup kepala atau tudung dikenakan dalam acara sukan tersebut kerana bimbang akan keselamatan para atlet yang mana tudung dikatakan boleh menjerut leher atlet itu.

Image via Baca Berita

Walau bagaimanapun, Presiden Paralimpik Kebangsaan (NPC), Senny Marbun berkata kejadian tersebut berlaku kerana kecuaian pihaknya sendiri.“Peraturan IJF telah lama ditubuhkan, namun jurulatih judo yang dilantik oleh pihak NPC tidak prihatin dengan isu ini kerana mungkin tidak memahami peraturan yang ditulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris,” jelas Senny.“Bagi pihak NPC saya memohon maaf. Ini benar-benar memalukan saya dan saya harap ia tidak akan berulang lagi pada masa akan datang," tambahnya lagi.

Sementara itu, Miftahul Jannah yang kesal dengan insiden tersebut telah meminta maaf kepada seluruh rakyat Aceh kerana tidak berjaya mengharumkan nama negara itu serta memberikan gelaran juara pada Sukan Para Asia

Image via Baca Berita

Menurut Miftahul, “Saya rela dikeluarkan daripada menanggalkan tudung.  Setidaknya saya telah mampu mengendalikan diri saya agar hebat di mata Allah SWT.”“Saya rasa tak salah jika atlet bertudung juga dibenarkan bertanding.  Buktinya banyak lagi kejuaran lain yang membolehkan pesertanya memakai tudung," kata Miftahul.“Saya minta maaf.  Tapi, apa yang saya lakukan ini adalah bentuk harga diri dan menjaga maruah masyarakat Aceh yang dikenali dengan syariat Islam.  Saya tak ingin menggadaikan harga diri dan martabat Aceh semata-mata untuk bergelar juara," tambahnya lagi.

Insiden yang sama pernah berlaku semasa acara sukan judo di Sukan Olimpik 2012, London, England yang mana atlet judo perempuan dari Arab Saudi, Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani dilarang bertanding kerana enggan menanggalkan tudung. Namun begitu, dia akhirnya tetap bertanding juga dengan mengenakan penutup kepala berwarna hitam.

According to a report in Harian Metro, a 35-year-old man who had been married for a month to a 14-year-old girl raped his wife's 11-year-old sister.The newlywed man coerced his teenage wife, who is said to be mentally challenged, to record the act as he raped his 11-year-old sister-in-law in her family's house at Telok Kemang in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan, on Monday, 23 November.

The unemployed man made the video to be sold to his friends for quick money, according to an unidentified source

The source said the matter came to light when the recording was circulated through WhatsApp and somehow found its way to the victim's father who then confronted his daughter.

The 11-year-old girl, who told her father she had been raped on multiple occasions over the previous month, wasn't the only victim

The man had raped his 14-year-old wife before they were married. The father then made a police report at Port Dickson Police Station and subsequently officers detained the man and his wife for questioning, a police spokesman confirmed to The Star Online.

This App Was Created Specifically For People Who Would Rather Starve Than Eat Alone

Eating alone is a social stigma. In many Hollywood movies, people who eat alone are often depicted as sad and depressed.

Image via Giphy

People will question your lack of companionship, and you're simply tired of it

Image via thefrisky

Crying into your food isn't really glamorous either.

Before you doomed yourself with a life of loneliness, STOP!

Image via Giphy

In this week's Tech Tuesday, we provide a solution to all the lone eaters out there. Lunch Kaki, an app hailing from Singapore helps connect people during lunch meals. Getting to know someone new over food seems to be a good idea, yes?

Image via Lunchkaki

Lunch Kaki was founded in 2014 by Melvin Tan and Cheng Chuan Huang, from Singapore and Taiwan respectively

“Lunch Kaki facilitates individuals in getting to know one another in a casual and non-imposing manner over lunch. Be it for sharing of common interests or passions, finding a last-minute lunch partner (we would not be caught dead eating alone), widening of social circles, networking, dating — the possibilities are endless. Users can search and select ‘lunch kakis’ in their vicinity where a quick bio data of each user is made available,” Melvin Tan said.

        e27.co

But why lunch? Why not dinner or breakfast?

Image via LunchKaki

Lunch Kaki is a social networking app that focuses on getting people to get out there and socialise during lunch time. We named it Lunch Kaki as we feel that lunch time is a perfect time for casual meet-ups and does away with the higher commitment associated with dinner. You can use Lunch Kaki to meet new people for job opportunities, find a last-minute lunch companion, or make new friends. Of course, Lunch Kaki is not restricted strictly to lunch requests.

        vulcanpost.com

We put Lunch Kaki's iOS app to test and here's what we thought about it:

Pop up the app and you'll be asked to register yourself as a member

You'll Have To Fulfil These Criteria To Receive A FREE UniFi Upgrade From TM

Some Unifi users are in for a treat as Telekom Malaysia (TM) is upgrading their subscription plan for free, with no strings attached

Image via SourLemons/Lowyat.NET

A selected number of existing UniFi VIP 5 package subscribers are receiving a free upgrade from TM.This means that their broadband speed has increased from 5Mbps to 10Mbps.These selected subscribers were notified of the good news via SMS. It is believed that the upgrade is being offered in stages. Subscribers do not have to do anything to get this upgrade that will be done automatically by TM.

This is a very good news for the selected users, as their Internet will be at a faster speed without them having to fork out extra money!

Image via Imgur

However, since not everyone is eligible for this special upgrade, some have questioned how TM actually chose these 'lucky customers'.
Unfortunately, they have gotten mixed responses when they got in touch with the TM representatives.

It appears that there were several discrepancies between the replies that the public has received when they got in touch with different TM representatives via various customer service channels.  A Lowyat forum user was told that TM does not set a list of criteria when selecting which customer is eligible for the free upgrade, while another user was told that TM follows a set list of business rules for its selections.

A quick check with TM's official twitter account @TMConnects, however, revealed that the company has indeed set a list of criteria for a user to be eligible for the upgrade

Image via @TMConnects/Twitter

TM has clarified that this free upgrade campaign is an initiative by the national telecommunications provider to reward customers for their trust and long tenure with TM.  Only selected UniFi subscribers who have subscribed to VIP 5 package for more than 30 months, have good payment record with TM, and fulfil other elements for being a loyal TM customer will be considered for the free upgrade.

In April, competitors TM and TIME engaged in a social media warfare and it was awesome:

How These Kids Beat The Odds And Won The Opportunity To Showcase Their Ideas In The US

Some of the country's brightest young inventors may soon put Malaysia on the tech map, as they will be heading to Silicon Valley to learn from industry experts in the San Francisco tech hub

Ten students aged 15 and 16 years old were selected to go to Silicon Valley out of 33 participants from MDEC's recent Digital Maker Global Exchange (DMGX) programme, a 3-day accelerator lab for budding Digital Makers to be mentored by industry leaders as well as to showcase and pitch their inventions to a panel of judges.

For seven of the selected kids, this is more than just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It is proof that their hard work and perseverance have paid off despite the odds stacked against them due to their challenging backgrounds.

The seven Arus and Chumbaka kids holding up their mock flight tickets to Silicon Valley, San Francisco.

All seven are students of after-school spaces Arus and Chumbaka, both of which are formed by Teach For Malaysia alumni and aim to give children meaningful learning experiences through STEM-based education. Most notably, Arus and Chumbaka primarily serve students from underprivileged communities i.e. they go to high-need schools or do not have as much access to opportunities due to family circumstances or where they live.

In a blogpost, Arus co-founder Alina Amir expressed her indescribable pride for two of the Top 10, Gayatri - whom she called "one of the cleverest students her age" - and Badrul, who once "insisted he cannot speak in front of people"

Gayatri (left) and Badrul (right) with their invention at DMGX.

"There are no words to describe how proud I am of my Arus kids today for always going above and beyond with every challenge we throw at them," Alina said. "To Gayatri, the most hardworking student I know, who does well in everything she chooses to do because of the amount of effort she puts in, one of the cleverest students her age, congratulations on being selected to go to Silicon Valley! I have never doubted your ability to achieve anything you put your mind to. Your confidence and perseverance is beyond what I could ever muster when I was your age.To Badrul, the boy who has changed so much since I first met him, the one who one time got angry at me and sent in a blank exam paper for Sejarah (the subject I taught him) as a sign of protest, the one who insisted he cannot speak in front of people, is now the same boy who discusses ideas with me in English, who tries extra hard when perfecting his projects, who has pitched his inventions in front of hundreds of people. I hope the trip to Silicon Valley in December will inspire you to do more!"

The other five are students of Chumbaka Cyberjaya, four of whom worked closely with co-founder Nigel Sim. He recalled how they stuttered a lot when they first spoke in English in front of an audience, but have now become the talk of their kampung for their achievements.

"I still remember how they were when I first met them two years ago. They were your typical 13-year-old kids. Young and bright. But life for them was a mundane cycle of school, tuition, homework and exams. Deep down inside I knew that they deserved much better and could do more... and I was right," Nigel wrote. "Ever since their first outing out of their comfort zone, they got addicted. Addicted to learning (and winning of course!). Yes, I pushed them really hard and at times they pushed back. Yes, they stuttered a lot when they first tried to speak English in front of people but they kept trying and never once did they give up.Fast forward to today, their hard work paid off and are now recognised among the country’s top 10 makers!Their journey is really an inspirational one and has become the talk of the town (like literally). My students told me that the whole kampung knows that they are going to the United States now! Everywhere they go people are talking about them! It’s crazy to see how they managed to inject some sense of possibility into the greater community with their journey!"

Chong Zhi Xiong, another co-founder of Chumbaka Cyberjaya, credits Top 10 finalist Dakshayanie for motivating him to establish the social enterprise with her perseverance

"I still remember the first day I met Dakshayanie, coming into my robotic class, begging to be a part of the team, but I just left her there with Python on Codecademy. The following week she came back and showed me her work on JavaScript," he said. "She is certainly my reason to initiate Maker_Ed and my motivation to turn it into Chumbaka Cyberjaya.Fast forward 2 years now, she just went through the Digital Maker Exchange Challenge organised by MDEC, with 32 other top young inventors in the country. And she is going to Silicon Valley, San Francisco this December! Imma proud ‘father’!"

The teens will be heading to San Francisco in December, where they will be attending a week-long entrepreneur camp and presenting a pitch in a Dolphin Tank

The young makers will be expected to come up with a new idea, fabricate and execute it, as well as to pitch their invention to a panel judges with a business model at a Dolphin Tank session (similar to 'Shark Tank' on TV). Not only that, they will be mentored and evaluated by some of Silicon Valley's industry leaders during the duration of the camp.

Good luck in San Francisco and keep making us proud, kids!

Several Twitter users claimed that the cats were always well-liked by the students

"Oh my God, these cats were all well taken care of there. Who would be so cruel to poison them?" one user asked.

Another user shared photos of the cats accompanying them while they were living at the hostel."Rest in peace (RIP) Mitam, Abang, and Oyeng. Please pray for me, I will miss you. Thank you for always accompanying me when I'm alone in my room. I'm sorry, dear. This world is just too cruel for you guys," they wrote.

[NANDINI SAYS] Why You Should Always Make Your Own Decisions

Person A: "Har?! You wanna marry that boy? Eh, don't lah. Too dark, summore he only drive a Kancil."
Person B: "Hmmm, true. I guess I should rethink my decision ah."

Image via SAYS/YouTube

Haih. I don't know why some people allow others to influence their important life decisions.
It's your life, you're the one who's going to spend the rest of your life with the person, so why should someone else get a say in who you choose to marry (in reference to the conversation above)?

Image via SAYS/YouTube

I mean, I would consult my loved ones when making a life-altering decision but ultimately, I would always fall back on what I think is right for me because it is my life.

Be it buying the latest gadgets or investing in a dream house that is perfect for you and your family, always remember to make wise, independent decisions.
Do not let others push you into doing things you don't want to do.

Keep in mind that for Simpan SSPN Prime account holders, the takaful coverage covers death and permanent and comprehensive disability, and you'll need at least RM1,000 saved up in your account. As for Simpan SSPN Plus account holders, the coverage depends on the package you chose.

Petisyen Tun Mahathir Terima Hadiah Nobel Keamanan, 150,000 Tandatangan Diperlukan

Satu petisyen dalam talian telah dimulakan pada hari Sabtu, 26 Mei, buat Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad untuk dipertimbangkan sebagai penama bagi Hadiah Keamanan Nobel tahun ini

Image via Malaysian Access

Petisyen tersebut telah dimulakan oleh Alexandria Abishegam yang merasakan bahawa Tun Mahathir telah memberi inspirasi kepada berjuta-juta pengundi pada PRU14 tempoh hari bagi menggantikan Barisan Nasional (BN) sebagai kuasa persekutuan dengan cara aman tanpa keganasan.BN yang telah memerintah negara selama lebih enam dekad telah dikalahkan oleh gabungan Pakatan Harapan (PH) hasil pimpinan Tun Mahathir.

Petisyen yang menggunkan platform Change.org itu turut membandingkan Tun Mahathir dengan pejuang revolusi anti-apartheid iaitu tokoh Afrika Selatan, Nelson Mandela

Image via Astro Awani

Walaupun pernah dipenjara selama 27 tahun ketika pemerintahan Apartheid, Nelson Mandela tetap teguh memperjuangkan persamaan hak antara warga kulit hitam dan kulit putih. Beliau kemudiannya telah diangkat menjadi Presiden berkulit hitam pertama di Afrika Selatan pada 10 Mei 1994 sehingga 16 Jun 1999.

Di samping itu, pengasas petisyen itu turut merasakan bahawa Tun Mahathir layak dicalonkan untuk menerima Hadiah Nobel Keamanan sebagai satu pengiktirafan terhadap semangat beliau yang kembali ke dunia politik pada usia 93 tahun

Tun Mahathir yang mengetepikan prasangka politiknya sendiri iaitu terhadap pemimpin pembangkang seperti Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang, Mohamad Sabu dan lain-lain demi menyelamatkan negara.

Image via Bernama

Tun Mahathir hanya memberi tumpuan kepada kepentingan ketelusan, demokrasi dan kedaulatan undang-undang di Malaysia.“Tun Dr Mahathir juga secara terbuka mengakui kesilapan beliau dan memohon maaf di atas kesilapan lampau membuatkan beliau seorang yang begitu disegani dan seorang pemimpin yang wajar dicontohi,” kata Alexandria Abishegam menerusi petisyen tersebut.

Petisyen tersebut boleh ditandatangani menerusi laman web Change.org

KL Ranks 23rd Out Of 60 Cities For Most Efficient Public Transport Systems In The World

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

One of the most important governmentally-allotted provisions to society is public transport, and in Malaysia, it's easy to say that this topic has been a heavily debated issue for years

Nonetheless, a recent study conducted by The University of California in Berkeley (also known as UC Berkeley) tested the scale which ranked 60 cities on their 'readiness for the next chapter in global mobility'.Referred to as the Urban Mobility Readiness (UMR) Index 2023, the curation of the list included the consideration of multiple trends that were used as building blocks for discussing urban mobility. This included connectivity, public transit, electrification, and automation.In addition to that, this year's UMR Index introduced a public transit sub-index, ranking how well cities are managing their public transit systems and how many commuters use them. Alongside the sustainable mobility sub-index (which was introduced in 2021 and used to measure cities' efforts to build greener and more sustainable mobility ecosystems), the consideration of these two factors was critical to demonstrate a winning mobility system.Here's a complete ranking of all 60 cities on the UMR Index:

Overall, Kuala Lumpur landed at 40th of 60 cities on the UMR Index. In a breakdown of the overall placement, it was revealed that KL placed 23rd on the public transit sub-index, and 53rd on the sustainable mobility sub-index, seventh from last.

In a ranking of the Asia Pacific cities of the listed regions, Kuala Lumpur placed eighth overall, having fallen two spots from the 2021 placement

Providing insight to the comprehensive evaluation, the report expressed the clear diversity in systems that exist throughout the region. "Asia Pacific encompasses leading, developing, and lagging cities with regards to urban mobility readiness. The leading mobility cities offer affordable, efficient, and high‑density mass transit systems alongside high‑quality roads with national road and rail connections," read the report.Nonetheless, the report was also forthright about many cities within the Asia Pacific region having fallen in rank since 2020 due to the challenges in each of these nations to find a proper balance when approaching the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rounding off the top five cities on the UMR Index include Stockholm at second place, Helsinki at third, Singapore at fourth, and Zurich at fifth. San Francisco claimed the top ranking of the list, as the city ranked most prepared to tackle mobility in their area.

Even though Kuala Lumpur landed in the upper-middle rank on the list for public transport, an in-depth breakdown of the report also provides suggestions on what cities can do to improve their classification

According to the city profile breakdown for Kuala Lumpur, it was stipulated that the city itself benefited from a wide range of public transport modes, which included Bus Rapid and Transit to Rapid Rail. The statement noted that autonomous technology powers the metro system of which operates within the city. However, the report also stated what lacked overall and efforts that could be improved as a whole. "Despite its strong public transit system, Kuala Lumpur has a high number of road traffic accidents — a rate that's among the worst in our Urban Mobility Readiness Index. "The city's roads also provide low regional connectivity, as Malaysia has a fragmented road network. Few residents currently bike or walk on a daily basis, and the city would benefit from investment in cycling infrastructure and in sidewalks," continued the report.Providing the scores on the index and the two sub-indexes, there was an undoubtable issue with sustainability for Kuala Lumpur when compared to the global average.

While the public transit sub-index for Kuala Lumpur exceeded both the Asia Pacific and global average percentile at 56.5%, the city severely lacked in the sustainable mobility sub-index, which held a 33.4% to the global average's 47.5%.As for the overall UMR Index ranking, the percentile for Kuala Lumpur also staggered beneath the Asia Pacific average of 51.9% and the global average of 53.7%, at just 45.1%.

All in all, the report by UC Berkeley displays the clear potential that lies within the public transport system of Kuala Lumpur — though matters of sustainability may be the missing piece to what could make the city a leader in this sector on a global scale

"Hak Orang" Lelaki Ini Ajar Cara Pulang Semula Wang BPN Jika Tersalah Masuk Ke Akaun Anda

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin pada 27 Mac lalu telah mengumumkan insentif Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) melalui Pakej Ransangan Ekonomi Prihatin Rakyat atau PRIHATIN

Image via treasury.gov.my

Bantuan tersebut diberikan bagi membantu setiap rakyat Malaysia yang terjejas akibat penularan wabak Covid-19.Selain golongan B40, golongan lain yang turut menerima BPN kali ini adalah mereka dari golongan M40. Bantuan yang diumumkan oleh kerajaan itu sedikit sebanyak mampu melegakan rata-rata rakyat Malaysia yang sedang 'buntu' tatkala berhadapan dengan situasi getir ketika ini.Berikut merupakan mereka yang layak untuk menerima bantuan BPN:Pendapatan isi rumah sebanyak RM4,000 dan ke bawah - Terima sejumlah RM1,600 dengan dua kali tempoh bayaran.Pendapatan isi rumah RM4,001 sehingga RM8,000 - Terima bantuan sejumlah RM1,000 dengan dua kali tempoh bayaran.Individu bujang yang memperoleh pendapatan RM2,000 ke bawah - Terima bantuan sebanyak RM800 dan dibayar untuk tempoh dua kali.Individu bujang dengan pendapatan RM2,001 hingga RM4,000 - Terima bantuan berjumlah RM500 juga dengan dua kali bayaran.Sudah pastilah dengan bantuan yang diumumkan kali ini, ramai individu akan merasa teruja dan tidak sabar untuk menerima wang bantuan tersebut.

Namun, berbeza pula dengan individu ini apabila dia memilih untuk memulangkan semula wang BPN yang telah diterima olehnya gara-gara 'tersalah masuk'

Individu tersebut merupakan seorang pengguna Facebook yang menggunakan nama Rinizan Razali.Menurut lelaki ini, dia memilih untuk memulangkan semula wang BPN bernilai RM1,000 selepas ia 'tersalah masuk' ke dalam akaunnya dan mahu memberikannya kepada yang lebih berhak.Berikut merupakan perkongsian penuh lelaki ini terhadap situasi yang berlaku:

Memulangkan hak pada tempat

Image via Rinizan Razali / Facebook

Sistem online ni,hebat mana pun akan ada mistake. So bagi bantuan BPN ni,disebabkan saya tengah buat pembetulan penyata tahun 2018,maka sistem anggap saya golongan layak. Jadi free lah dapat BPN...maka dalam konteks ni kena realistik:-1) Kalau diamkan siapalah yang tahu kan? tapi...Allah Maha Mengetahui2) Adakah kita gembira pada saat ada orang mungkin penerima sebetulnya sedang berkelaparan? Kalau ya, kan menzalimi hak org tu!Jadi kalau saudara/saudari masih mampu bertahan dan tak layak, pulangkanlah bantuan tersebut utk LHDN agihkan semula kepada yg berhak. Cara2 nya:-a) Buat draf bank atas nama akauntan negarab) Tulis sikit penjelasan kenapa tolak bantuan (rujuk lampiran no 26)c) Pos balik ke MOFP/S: Sekecil zarah tetap akan dinilai Allah...sekian terima kasih.

Rata-rata B40 ada yang masih tak dapat

Image via Rinizan Razali / Facebook

Bye2 BPN...haha, walaupun saya pun takla banyak mana pun duit...tapi bila BPN tersalah masuk, maka pulangkan ke tempat asalnya. Rata2 B40 ada yang masih tak dapat. Maka bagi yg tersalah terima, pulangkanlah ia....kesian kat makcik bedah,pak leh lemang, kiai dolah, kak joyah dan sebagainya di kampung.Kaedah nak pulangkan:1) Bank deraf atas nama Akauntan Negara Malaysia2)Surat iringan alasan pengembalian3) Pos ke Pejabat Belanjawan NegaraP/S: Jgn marah LHDN,ralat sistem normal la..benda kalut kadang2 ada mistake. So,bantu mereka sama.

Alhamdulillah, murni sungguh tindakan lelaki ini. Semoga hidupnya sentiasa diberkati.

Dalam pada itu ingat, patuhi arahan dan sila duduk di dalam rumah. Teruskan mengikuti perkembangan mengenai Covid-19 hanya di SAYS Seismik!

6 Times MPs' Questions Were Ignored Or Dismissed In The 14th Parliament So Far

The 14th Parliament sitting saw many firsts in the country's history

On 13 July, it marked the first full-day Parliament sitting under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration, which coincidentally witnessed the first removal of the Dewan Rakyat Speaker in Malaysia's history.According to outgoing speaker Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof, his removal is said to be the first in the Commonwealth history.A few minutes after Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun replaced Mohamad Ariff, the first ruling he made as the newly-minted Speaker was to boot Shah Alam Member of Parliament (MP) Khalid Samad out of the Dewan Rakyat. Later in the evening, the Parliament welcomed the first female Deputy Speaker Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

With PN currently believed to be running the government with a paper-thin majority, the Speaker and his Deputies have been accused by the Opposition of not staying impartial while chairing the Parliament

Many MPs in the opposition have been told not to ask certain questions or push certain motions by the Speaker or his Deputies.To bring you up to the speed, here are six times questions and motions that have been rejected in the 14th Parliament sitting so far, which sets worrying precedents for the parliamentary procedure:

1. No question asked on the first day of the Parliament

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah.

Prior to the first full-day Parliament sitting this year, the Perikatan Nasional coalition held a one-day sitting on 18 May to fulfil the requirement of the Dewan Rakyat's mandatory sitting after six months since the last Parliament session.The sitting was also a historical event as it was held slightly over an hour where no MPs were allowed to bring up any questions for debates. The only agenda for the sitting was the royal address by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah.Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Parliament And Law) Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan said the need to call for the sitting surmounted the rule under the Movement Control Order (MCO), which stipulated that a gathering of more than 20 people is illegal. He said that the sitting was necessary or else the House would be automatically dissolved, reported New Straits Times.The move was met with much criticism from the opposition, claiming that it violated the democratic system. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim accused Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin of orchestrating that because the latter had yet to gather enough support from the MPs to command a majority in the Dewan Rakyat, according to CNA.At that time, many MPs aligned with the PN government were reportedly being awarded top posts in government-linked companies (GLCs). Analysts had claimed that the arrangements were made to solidify PN's fragile support from MPs in the newly-formed coalition.

2. Motion to push for a vote for Azhar's appointment as Speaker was rejected

After 56 days since the one-day sitting, the 14th Parliament reconvened on 13 July. The first full-day sitting under PN administration was filled with disorder throughout the day. Outgoing speaker Mohamad Ariff was officially removed with 111 votes in favour of his dismissal versus 109 votes against it.Premier Muhyiddin then proposed  Azhar as the new Speaker. Anwar told the House to allow MPs to debate on the appointment as the matter should not be rushed as it concerned national importance.The call for a vote for Azhar's appointment was ignored with Takiyuddin explaining that there was no need for voting because only one name was proposed, reported Astro Awani.Shortly after some exchange, Azhar went on to take his oath as the 10th Dewan Rakyat Speaker despite the ceremony being decried by the opposition.

3. Motion to nominate a Deputy Speaker candidate after Nga Kor Ming's sudden resignation was ignored

After Mohamad Ariff was ousted, former deputy Nga Kor Ming relinquished his position in solidarity with the former's removal, reported New Straits Times.His resignation came ahead of the motion for his removal in the Dewan Rakyat during lunchtime.When the Parliament reconvened after the break, Premier Muhyiddin withdrew his motion to remove Nga as the deputy speaker since the latter had resigned, reported Malaysiakini.Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo interjected, saying the House should be given a 14-day period to nominate a new candidate following Nga's sudden resignation. Gobind was seconded by Langkawi MP Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, along with other MPs from the PH coalition, reported Bernama.However, Speaker Azhar stated that there is no rule that stipulated that the nomination of a candidate can only happen when there is a vacancy. The Speaker went ahead to table the motion and nominate Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said as Nga's replacement. The opposition protested against it, but Azalina took her oath as the new Deputy Speaker nonetheless. According to Malaysiakini, Speaker Azhar explained that Azalina's appointment is valid because no other candidates were put forth for the position, hence Azalina was appointed without a vote. Both of their appointments were made without a vote. After the Parliament concluded on Monday, Dr Mahathir said PN bulldozing motions in the Dewan Rakyat while shutting down the opposition showed that the administration disregards the rule of law, reported Malay Mail.

4. Demand to make a ruling against the Baling MP was ignored

Earlier in the same sitting, the newly-minted Speaker also ignored the opposition MPs' demand to make a ruling against Baling MP Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul, who made racist and sexist remarks against Batu Kawan MP Kasthuri Patto.The Baling MP's "too dark, can't see" and "put on some powder" comments were heard by all ears in the Dewan Rakyat, but he refused to retract his words - not until he had caused ruckus in the House.Multiple MPs, including opposition leader Anwar and Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng, had spoken up in the House. However, Speaker Azhar declined to make any ruling to suspend the Baling MP.The next day, 14 July, Speaker Azhar merely told Abdul Azeez to formally apologise despite Kasthuri said that it was too late and that he should not be excused with just a mere sorry.Kasthuri pleaded Speaker Azhar to make the right decision, claiming that Abdul Azeez is a "repeat offender". In the end, the issue was dismissed with the Baling MP being let off without any repercussions.

5. Segambut MP told to stop asking questions and take Minister's reply as it is

On Wednesday's sitting, 15 July, when Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh asked Women, Family, and Community Development (KPWKM) Minister Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun a question about how is the government is handling refugees being evicted out their homes by landlords, the Minister seemed to be at a loss of words, reported Free Malaysia Today.Yeoh, who was formerly the KPWKM deputy minister, said homeless refugees could become a security issue if the National Security Council and KPWKM did not collaborate with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to resolve the problem.However, Rina seemed to have no solid answers and she skirted the question.After some back and forth, Yeoh said Rina didn't answer her question and insisted on getting a clarification.Deputy Speaker Datuk Mohd Rashid Hanson then interjected and told Yeoh that the session was not meant for debate, reported Malaysiakini. "This is not a debate session. Whatever answer you have received, just take it as it is," Rashid told Yeoh, before moving on from the topic.

6. Questions regarding 1MDB are not allowed in the House

When Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng brought up the word '1MDB' on Wednesday, MPs sitting on the government bench began grumbling, reported Free Malaysia Today.Lim, who is also the former finance minister, cited a recent filing by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), which claimed that a yacht worth RM2.96 billion was bought with 1MDB funds. He asked what is the government's action in the new discovery. However, he was shot down by MPs aligned with the government. Baling MP Abdul Azeez told Lim not to talk about the subject as the case is currently under trial in courts.As MPs from both sides started to boil up, Deputy Speaker Azalina muted their microphones and said that court cases shouldn't be raised as it would be considered sub judice. To which Lim replied that the case regarding the yacht - formerly known as Topaz - is not in courts yet. "This is not an old case," he said.Deputy Speaker Azalina ignored the argument and said she had made her decision to disallow court cases to be brought into the Parliament for discussion. In a recent report by The Sarawak Report, a known whistleblower of the 1MDB scandal in 2015, the news portal branded Azalina as the "world-famous [...] 1MDB denier who lied and defended her kleptocratic boss right till the end in 2018".The report said Azalina could be looking after Datuk Seri Najib Razak's interests in Parliament now since she is part of the ruling coalition.
