How To Commit Internet Suicide?

Does your life resemble anything like this fellow?

Image via Pretty Jeff

But you don't want it to?
Well, in that case, the only way it's possible is if you commit 'Internet suicide'. In other words, erase all the information about yourself from the Internet. While the process is a bit tedious, it can be done!

Image via Who Is Hosting This

Step 1: Delete your social network accounts

Social networks are all about bringing people together, enabling them to find and talk to one another online. As such, the first thing you’ll want to do if you’re cutting yourself off from the web is to delete your social media accounts. This includes Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google +, among many others.

        pcmech.com

Here's how:

Facebook: To delete your Facebook profile, head to this link while you're logged in, click the "Delete My Account" button, and you're done. The process might take up to 14 days before your profile is completely gone. Doing it this way deletes all of your data, and it cannot be reactivated. Some messages might still show up, but anything you've been tagged in will have your name removed (although the pictures themselves will remain). If you want those pictures removed completely, report that you didn't give permission for that photo under the intellectual property tag on Facebook, or contact your friend directly and ask them to remove it.Google+: Google+ is a bit tricky because it's tied to your entire Google account. If you want to go ahead and close everything including email, calendars, and whatever else, sign into your primary Google Account homepage, and chose "Close account and delete all services and info associated with it." This will get rid of everything from Gmail to Google Checkout. If you only need to ditch the Google+ account, follow this link and select "Delete Google+ content." This will remove your profile from Google+, but retain any other Google services you have.

        lifehacker.com

LinkedIn: It's fairly easy to delete yourself on LinkedIn. Simply head to your settings page, click the "Account" icon, then the "close your account" link. Twitter: To delete your Twitter account, head to your account settings page, and click "Deactivate my account" at the bottom. While your account gets deleted completely, it will take a few weeks before search results stop showing up.

You'll want to follow the above steps for any other social networks you use, forum accounts you have, or other sites you registered under your real name (this might include Yelp, Amazon, Quora, etc). If you have trouble remembering all your accounts, Account Killer has a huge list that includes direct links to deleting your profile from over 500 different sites. Your Google search for your name in the first step should also provide a guide to places you used your real name to create an account.

        lifehacker.com

Step 2: Remove or bury unwanted search results

Image via Gizmodo

Once you get rid of your social profiles, content is likely still floating around the web that you need to get rid of. They might be images, articles, or even employer websites. The first thing to do is figure out where you're showing up online in search results. Search Google and make a note (or bookmark) where you name shows up on web sites.

        lifehacker.com

Here's how to get the content officially removed from search results and bury the unwanted content so nobody can find it:

When you want embarrassing content out of a search engine, it helps to start at the source. Contact the web site where the content resides and simply ask them to remove it. Once it's off the site it'll fall out of the search results in due time. In the event the web site won't comply or you just want to be doubly sure your content won't show up, you can send a request to the search engine to have it removed. Most search engines offer this service.Here are instructions for Google, and Google Images, Bing. Some smaller search engines, like Duck Duck Go, have a standard contact form for all issues. If the page with embarrassing content is actually one you made, however, Bing has a support document that shows you how to tell search engines to avoid indexing it. When it's your pages that you don't want showing up in search results, follow those instructions.In extreme situations, you can submit a legal complaint to Google. Google tends to respond to these legal complaints with quick removal, not taking much effort to investigate. This can be good for you if you want something removed, but bad for the person whose page is being removed as the appeal process can take a long time. You don't want to go this route unless someone is using your likeness without your consent, using your work without permission, defaming you, or potentially breaking the law in another way.

        lifehacker.com

If you cannot get everything off of your Google search results, you might also consider burying personal data as far as possible. To do this while maintaining your vow to delete yourself from the internet forever, create profiles on popular social sites like Twitter, Google+, or Facebook as well as landing pages like About.Me with just your name and no other details. You can also set up your own website filled with lots of keywords about your name but no actual information (or just create a 410 error page and leave it at that). It's not as good as deleting content completely, but at least internet sleuths will only be lead to a blank page with no information on you.

        lifehacker.com

Step 3: Remove usernames attached to your name's email address:

Any good internet sleuth will be able to link together your usernames on forums, web sites, and elsewhere with your email address. Subsequently, they'll eventually trace that back to your name.According to Thorin Klosowski's post on Lifehacker, "the process to remove this data is dependent on the forums and sites you use.""If you can, unlink your primary email address with your username whenever possible. If you're dealing with forums, ask the moderators to delete any posts that identify you personally. Essentially, cut any ties between your email address or name with your username. If you use the same username for every site, consider coming up with new names for every site."

Unfortunately, even with all these exhaustive steps, there's really no way of knowing if there isn't still some data on you lurking in some dusty, rarely-trafficked corner of the deep web.
To make sure absolutely not a single bite on you stays online, this detailed infographic could help you completely disappear online:

This Man's Quote About Money Is Something We All Need To Remember

It's no lie that for many of us, having more money is a constant life goal

From job hopping for a better salary to taking on freelance work on the side, money is a constant drive for many. So it serves as a good reminder for all, to listen to the words of this Malaysian...

This Malaysian, however, has a different philosophy in life

Image via Shell Malaysia

Manogaran worked at the local Shell station at his kampung in his youth. He would later leave his hometown in search for more opportunities in Kuala Lumpur. After 20 years in the big city, Manogaran had built a good life for himself and was earning more than enough to live comfortably.

His life would change forever in 2003, when his father passed away, leaving his mother a widow

As the only unmarried person in the family, Manogaran made the decision to give up his life and career in KL to return to his hometown solely to care for his mum <3But despite his sacrifices, Manogaran reveals that the decision to leave his life in KL was not a difficult one to make.

Manogaran explains, "Money's not everything. I've seen a lot of money in my life before, but it's okay."

"The time and the moments that you spend with your family is more valuable than what you're searching for... Everybody's happy, celebrating the festivals. That is one of the best things. That is happiness."Watch his full video here:

So while it's important for us to have financial goals, let's take a moment to remember what, why, and who, we're doing it for :)


MAS Announces Worst Quarterly Loss Of RM443 Million

The Disappearance Of MH370 Has Dramatically Impacted Malaysia Airlines' Ailing Revenue, Leading To Its Biggest Quarterly Loss Since 2011

The Disappearance Of MH370 Has Dramatically Impacted Malaysia Airlines' Ailing Revenue, Leading To MAS' Biggest Quarterly Loss Since 2011
Image via blogspot.com

Malaysian Airlines on Thursday reported its biggest quarterly loss in over two years, hit by a sharp drop in passenger traffic after what it called the "dramatic impact" of the unexplained disappearance of flight MH370 in March.

        themalaysianinsider.com

MAS Posted A Net Loss Of RM443 Million For The Three Months Ending On 31 March 2014, Compared To A RM279 Million Loss Of The Same Quarter In 2013

The state-controlled airline said it posted a net loss of RM443mil ($137mil) for the three months ending March 31, compared to a RM279mil loss in the same quarter in 2013.

        thestar.com.my

This Is MAS' Fifth Straight Quarterly Loss

The result was the airline's fifth straight quarterly loss and also the worst since the fourth quarter of 2011, when it recorded a net loss of RM1.28bil.

        thestar.com.my

It's the carrier's worst quarterly loss since October-December 2011. MAS has lost money for the last three years, beset by high costs and stiff competition.

        themalaysianinsider.com

MAS Has Lost A Combined Of RM4.2 Billion Over The Past Three Calendar Years

The debacle over the missing plane has compounded the problems faced by MAS, which had already lost a combined $1.3bil (RM4.2 billion) over the past three calendar years as it founders in the face of intense industry competition.

        thestar.com.my

Analysts say it faces a continued grim outlook in coming years unless it is forced to undergo aggressive reform, which has been resisted by powerful employee unions and other vested interests.

        thestar.com.my

The carrier has undertaken a series of "turnaround" plans over the years, but each has failed to stem the tide of red ink blamed by analysts on poor management, a bloated work force, powerful unions, and industry competition.

        thestar.com.my

The MH370 Incident Has Caused High Cancellation Rate In MAS And A Decline In Long-Haul Travel

The results were made worse with the impact on air travel in general following the disappearance of MH370," said group chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya. "Operations were slowed for several weeks since early March when MH370 disappeared. "Marketing activities were halted out of respect for the families of those on board the Beijing-bound Boeing 777 aircraft."

        thestar.com.my

"The tragic MH370 incident had a dramatic impact on the traditionally weak first quarter performance," the company said in a statement to the Malaysia stock exchange on Thursday. It said it saw high numbers of cancellations and a decline in long-haul travel after flight MH370 went missing on March 8.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Sales in China slumped 60% in March, MAS said. The majority of the passengers travelling on flight MH370 were Chinese.

        themalaysianinsider.com

MAS CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya Says A Thorough Review Of The Airlines' Business Plan Is Being Undertaken To Ensure The Company's Sustainability

MAS CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya Says A Thorough Review Of The Airlines' Business Plan Is Being Undertaken To Ensure The Company's Sustainability.

In a statement on Wednesday, the airline said "a thorough review of the business plan is being undertaken and all avenues are being explored to ensure the long-term sustainability of the company."

        thestar.com.my

“While the search for MH370 continues today more than two months since it disappeared, our group needs to accelerate efforts to improve its revenue stream and better manage our high costs which have increased in line with greater capacity,” MAS Group Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said today.

        abnxcess.com

“This need has become even more urgent for Malaysia Airlines’ future survival and sustainability in a market that is not showing any signs of letting up on competition,” he said in a statement to announce the national carrier’s first quarter financial results.

On The Other Hand, Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein Told Reporters That The Malaysian Government Will Not Be Offering Any Assistance To MAS

The government will not bail out Malaysia Airlines (MAS) acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said today as the flag carrier sunk deeper into the red following the mysterious disappearance of its jetliner two months ago.

        themalaymailonline.com

“Is the Malaysian government offering an assistance to MAS? No,” Hishammuddin told a news conference on Flight MH370, missing since March 8.

        themalaymailonline.com

Prime Minister Najib Also Says Bankruptcy Might Be An Option To Restructure The National Flag Carrier After Years Of Losses And Conflicts

Prime Minister Najib Also Says Bankruptcy Might Be An Option To Restructure The National Flag Carrier After Years Of Losses And Conflicts.
Image via yimg.com

Datuk Seri Najib Razak has said that it might be too late to save Malaysia Airlines (MAS) in its current form, as the national flag carrier struggles to stay afloat following the disappearance of flight MH370.

        msn.com

In an interview with the The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published yesterday, the prime minister said that bankruptcy might be among several options as a way to restructure the national flag carrier, after years of losses and bitter conflicts with its labour unions.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“We have to look at it from all angles, bearing in mind that Malaysia Airlines is a government-linked company. It's not a private company, so there are certain repercussions in what you want to do in terms of how it is received by the employees and the general public,” Najib told WSJ.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Prior To This, Nazri Aziz Had Said That The Government Is At A Loss Over What To Do With MAS, "To Inject New Capital Is Certainly Not An Option."

                The Government Does Not Know What To Do With Struggling MAS

The national carrier is suffering losses and might need financial support from its shareholders soon.

This Perlis Shelter Has Over 1,500 Cats Who Are Looking For 'Furever' Homes

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

A shelter in Perlis that takes care of 1,500 cats, took in an additional 50 last week after their owner was no longer able to care for them

One of the shelter's employees, Zakaria Shafie, shared on Facebook that the cats have safely arrived at Bustana Kucing Perlis last Monday, 20 September."Yesterday, they were sleeping in their owner's home, today they will be sleeping with the cats at Bustana," he posted on Facebook.Zakaria told mStar that their owner is a cat lover from Ipoh, Perak who loved to rescue stray cats. However, the woman was recently kicked out of her rented home and was forced to give them up."The owner shared that she was living on her own, her husband had passed away, and she did not have any children," he said.

The 27-year-old employee said the new cats sent to the shelter may take time to adjust themselves there

"It depends on the cats, some are okay when they are released to the main cage. They're able to eat and sleep together with other cats there," he said."But there are those who are not so okay with it, they would usually stay in the corner of the cage and sometimes they're even afraid to eat."Zakaria added that they usually receive 10 to 20 cats per day, but less than 10 cats are adopted daily.He said it was also not unusual getting that many cats from a single owner.

Bustana Kucing Perlis has been taking in stray or unwanted cats since 2015

The shelter, located at Perlis Snake and Reptile Farm in Sungai Batu Pahat, was founded by Mohd Taufik Md Zin.According to Harian Metro, the independent cat rescuer opened the cat haven hoping that visitors would learn to show compassion and stop cruelty toward stray cats.Today, Zakaria said the shelter is operated by 14 members, including a doctor. There are eight enclosures to separate the cats, including a main cage, a quarantine for sick cats, and one for kittens and pregnant mothers.The shelter was initially sustained with money out of their own pockets, but since it has steadily grown, they began accepting public donations since 2017.

Speaking to SAYS, Zakaria added that the cats at Bustana Kucing Perlis are available for adoption

Zakaria said members of the public are free to choose any cats they like from the main enclosure, and those interested will only need to bring a pet carrier or box, fill up a form, and make a donation prior to adopting."No fee is set, can be for any contribution, no matter in the form of money or food," he said.He added that the shelter also provides transport services to send the cats to adopters that are outside of Perlis.

Have Sabahan Christians Lost All Their God-Given Freedom In Every Sense Of The Word?

A month after 64 natives in Sabah's remote Pitas district were allegedly tricked into converting from Christianity to Islam, another round of conversions has apparently taken place, according to a Muslim missionary website.

        yahoo.com

The website showed pictures and videos of the missionaries, believed to be from the Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam Malaysia (Perkim), carrying out the conversion ceremony. The group said that it was now about to build a mosque for the villagers.

        msn.com

"Alhamdulillah, kini sudah 302 orang memeluk Islam sepanjang misi Syahadah ini. Hari ini sahaja 11 orang mengucap dua kalimah syahadah di Pensiangan (Praise God, now 302 peple have embraced Islam in this mission. Today, 11 people made the declaration to enter Islam in Pensiangan)," the website said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

However, there were no reports or complaints of coercion or money involved in the conversions, unlike the ones carried out previously. According to the website, the group is believed to have begun its mission in Pensiangan in mid-January.

4 Feb: Sabahan Christians Meet To Find Ways To Reverse The Forced Conversion Of 64 Natives To Islam

Amid rising religious tension in Malaysia, Christian interest groups in Sabah are meeting today to find ways to reverse the conversion of 64 natives who claimed they were tricked into converting to Islam last month.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The Malaysian Insider learnt that a lunch meeting in Kota Kinabalu on the matter will be chaired by United Pasokmomogun Kadazan Dusun Murut Organisation (Upko) president Tan Sri Bernard Dompok.

        yahoo.com

“Christians from both sides of the political divide, non-governmental organisations and a group of lawyers are banding together to help fellow Christians in trouble,” the source said.
The 64, including children as young as five, are from three remote villages, Kampung Layung Maliau, Dowokon and Sosop.

Activist Wants The Forced Conversion Of Sabahan Christians To Be Declared Invalid

Activist Wants The Forced Conversion Of Sabahan Christians To Be Declared Invalid
Image via freemalaysiatoday.com

The controversial “conversion” to Islam of 74 ‘dirt-poor’ natives in Pitas on the heel of the ongoing Allah, Herald and Bible controversies has further tainted the image of Islam and its many public-funded departments and bodies,  claims local lawyer and activist Daniel John Jambun.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

He said the fact that these ignorant Pitas villagers were enticed with money and duped into converting seems to have escaped Sabah Islamic Affairs Department director Amri A Suratman.
Amri had reportedly declared that the contentious conversion of the 100 poverty stricken Christians in Pitas on Jan 1 was valid under the Islamic law.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

In a statement here Jambun said Amri’s statement was a clear violation of human rights, the Federal Constitution, the Malaysia Agreement and its annexes including the 18/20 Points and Batu Sumpah in Keningau, all constitutional documents on Sabah and Sarawak’s “Federation” with Malaya since 1963.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“How can the so-called conversion be valid when the victims had no intention to leave Christianity and embrace Islam?
“Also, if the victims had any intention to leave Christianity and embrace Islam, they would not be kicking up a fuss over the fraudulent conversion or continuing to attend church,” Jambun addded.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“It is obvious that JHEAINS has outsourced its dirty work to rogue elements masquerading as Muslim NGOs.
“JHEAINS must declare the conversion of the victims in Pitas as invalid or face the prospect of being taken to court and washing their dirty linen in public,” Jambun warned.

The conversion of rural Christians to Islam in Sabah is more widespread than initially reported, according to a meeting of pastors in Kota Kinabalu.
The emergency meeting was called on Wednesday after The Malaysian Insider reported that Christians in the remote district of Pitas had been tricked into converting after being offered a mere RM100.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Mojuin had earlier said the church was concerned over “unofficial” reports of what was happening in the parishes of Kudat, Kota Marudu, Kanibongan, Paitan and Pitas. There were also unconfirmed reports of forced, coerced or induced conversion elsewhere in northern and eastern Sabah.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Christians in the state, including political parties from both sides of the political divide, have since rallied to assist these “converted” natives.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Mojuin said the meeting agreed that the church should conduct an awareness campaign among its baptised members by conducting seminars or workshops.
“We are still drawing up the agenda of the seminars. We will have another meeting to finalise it and set a date when we would conduct them,” he added.

A Christian group, representing various denominations in Sabah, is embarking on a major religious revival campaign following dubious attempts to convert some of their flock to Islam.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Perpaduan Anak Negeri Sabah (PAN) will go on a six-month campaign to gather indigenous Christians to unite and urge Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to speak up on the “Allah” issue for Christian Bumiputeras.

        yahoo.com

“We want the PM to say something. He is not a PM for the Malays only but a PM for everyone,” PAN chairperson Esther Golingi told The Malaysian Insider.

        yahoo.com

PAN is reviving the spirit of an old Kadazan Dusun Murut war cry “mamangkis” which was a used by their ancestors to rally warrior troops for battle.
However, Golingi said the calls now are being “contextualised as a Christian clarion call for revival.”

PAN’s mobilisation effort comes amid reports of a group of about 64 people, including children, from three villages in the remote Pitas district – Kampung Layung Maliau, Dowokon and Sosop – being tricked into converting to Islam.

        malaysia-today.net

"Half a dozen or so Islamic NGOs are behind this forced or induced conversion. They are intent on converting as many Christians to Islam as possible," the coordinator told The Malaysian Insider.
"These groups are hoping to convert these rural Christians, a large majority of whom are illiterate, to Muslims."

"Some People From Kuala Lumpur" Promised The Villagers "Financial Assistance" Of RM800, But They Had To Collect It From A Nearby Mosque

Their trouble had apparently started on New Year's Eve.
A fellow villager, on returning from Pitas town, called everyone to his house to announce the “good news” that “some people from Kuala Lumpur” are giving them financial assistance.

        themalaysianinsider.com

On New Year’s Day, they did. Instead of receiving the financial assistance at the Pitas town hall, they claimed they were made to go to a nearby mosque instead.

        malaysia-today.net

“When we reached the hall, we were told to go to the 'masjid' (mosque) instead,” Maison said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Getting RM800 was like winning the lottery for the villagers who depended on subsistence farming to survive. The village is still without electricity and running water.

They Were Asked To Put Their Thumbprint On A Document And Were Told To Recite Some "Foreign Words"

Maison Bilu said the villagers were told they were receiving financial aid.

“At the mosque, we were all treated to refreshments and then they asked for our MyKad. We were then asked to sign a form. I don't know what the form was as I could not read or write. No one explained to us what the form was.
“All of us were illiterates. I never went to school and neither did my wife,” he said of his wife Nafsiah Momin.
“So I put my finger print on the form.”

        msn.com

“A man then asked us to recite some words after him. I didn't understand a word he said as the words were all foreign to me.

        msn.com

“At the end of it, the man told us that we have converted to Islam and we are now all Muslims.
“I was shocked. I quickly dragged my wife and children out of the mosque to ask ourselves what was going on,” Maison said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The People From Dirt Poor Villagers Did Not Understand The Documents As They Were Illiterate. Church Leaders Later Found Out That They Had Been Converted.

What baffled Maison was that the person who helped him put his finger print on the form did not take the form from him.
“He gave me a large envelope and inside the envelope were several smaller, coloured envelopes.
“I did not immediately open them to check what was inside as we were then told to stand in a line across the room.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The form that Maison still had with him was later passed to a church elder who informed him that it was a consent form and he had consented to be converted to Islam.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In The End, They Were Given Only RM100 Instead Of The Promised RM800

He said when he later opened the smaller envelopes, he found RM100 in the yellow envelopes and RM50 in the green envelopes.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Villagers, "We Have No Income Of Any Kind. That RM800 Is A Lot More Than BR1M. Everybody Was Understandably Excited."

“We have no income of any kind. That RM800 is a lot more than BR1M (Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia). Everybody was understandably excited,” Maison said.
“To get it was also easy. We just have to give our name and MyKad number to that neighbour of ours. No questions asked.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“Nobody asked who were these people giving us the financial assistance. We were only told 'people from Kuala Lumpur'. We didn't even ask the reason they are giving us this money,” Maison said.
“Everyone just wanted the money. That's all.”

        themalaysianinsider.com

To 41 year-old Jusman Masid, the whole episode made him feel sad and cheated. “Yes, RM800 is a very large sum of money to me. I felt very happy to think that I was going to get such financial assistance.
“But only to find out later that I had been deceived for RM100 and covertly converted, I really felt cheated."

Villagers Have Lodged Police Reports Alleging They Were Converted Without Their Knowledge. Sabah State Islamic Affairs Department (JHEIANS) Will Investigate These Claims.

The Daily Express reported a group of 27 people from a remote village in the north Borneo state had filed a police complaint last Wednesday, claiming to have been converted from Christianity to Islam on New Year’s Day by a Muslim welfare group without being fully aware of the conversion rites, after being promised aid.

        themalaymailonline.com

The case of villagers allegedly converted to Islam unwittingly will now be investigated by the Sabah State Islamic Affairs Department (JHEIANS), after state police handed over their report for further action.

Perpaduan Anak Negeri Sabah (PAN), "We Hold Nothing Against Islam If It Was Embraced With Free Choice."

Upset over broken promises by Putrajaya to Sabah when Malaysia was first formed, PAN said that it is worried that the religious freedom guaranteed in the Federal Constitution was no longer being upheld.
“We hold nothing against Islam if it was embraced with free choice. But we condemn such conversions as they were done through deceit, intimidation or bribery,” she said.

"Today, We Have Lost Our God-Given Freedom In Every Sense Of Word."

“Today, we have lost our God-given freedom in every sense of the word. We are not even allowed to refer to God as ‘Allah’ in our liturgical language. Worse, we are not even allowed to teach our children and their children about God, whom they know as ‘Allah’, the almighty creator of the universe and all that is in it.”

        themalaysianinsider.com

Golingi said that religion was now used as a political tool and that Malaysia should go back to basics.
“We need to uphold the Constitution of our land and it says we have our freedom of religion. Freedom of religion means freedom of religion.”

According To Lawyer Francis Pereira, It Is Not An Offence In Malaysia To Convert A Person Of A Different Faith To Islam

Lawyer Francis Pereira told The Malay Mail Online it is not an offence in Malaysia for a Muslim to convert a person of a different faith to Islam.
But he added that the authorities can investigate the case for criminal elements if the claims of bribery, as the villagers alleged, were to be proven.

        themalaymailonline.com

“Those are Penal Code offences, (and) also the Corruption Act,” Pereira said last night when contacted, referring to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.
“Those are criminal in nature,” he added, pointing to the allegations raised by the villagers.

How Donald Trump Won The 2016 US Presidential Election In 7 Crucial Points

The unthinkable has happened. The widely-criticised Republican candidate, billionaire and reality TV star Donald Trump has been elected the 45th President of the United States by the people of America.

In 2016 US Elections held on 8 November, Trump beat out Democratic candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by 61 electoral votes  - 279 electoral votes against Clinton's 218 - to emerge as current President Barack Obama's successor.However, Clinton is ahead of Trump in terms of the popular vote, securing 59,236,903 individual votes (47.6%) compared to Trump's 59,085,787 (47.5%).In addition, the Republicans also secured the majority in the US Senate (51 votes against 47) and House (236 votes against 191) elections, meaning Trump will govern alongside a Congress under full Republican control.

Much like Brexit, Trump's victory came as a shock to many, as political analysts and pollsters have previously predicted the contrary.
Let's take a look at the crucial factors that tipped the scales for the Republican candidate and deeper insights into the 2016 US Elections:

1. In contrast with pre-election polls, Trump clinched key victories in several swing states, many of which were previously taken by Democrats such as Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania

Breakdown by states of Republican victories (red) against Democrats (blue).

For context, swing states refer to states wherein both political parties are deemed to have similar levels of support among voters and are often viewed as crucial battlegrounds in deciding the overall result of the presidential election. 2012 Republican candidate Mitt Romney had lost the aforementioned states to current president Barack Obama in the elections four years ago. To add, Pennsylvania had not supported a Republican candidate since 1988.

2. Exit polls revealed more insight into how Americans voted this time around. Younger voters - especially those below 30 - favoured Clinton, whereas those above 45 years old preferred Trump.

Image via Edison Research for the National Election Pool

It is likely that the millennial bracket is a significantly smaller group than that of the older group of voters. INDICATORS: Blue bars represent Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton, whereas the red bars represent Republican candidate Donald Trump.

3. White voters are particularly partial towards Trump, with 58% opting for the Republican candidate. However, non-white voters record significantly less support for the elected president.

Image via Edison Research for the National Election Pool

According to Google and AP's insights compilation, Clinton is a widely popular choice African-American and other non-white-dominant counties.

4. Speculation that most of Trump's supporters are "white and less educated" are promptly reflected in the exit polls, with 67% of white, non-college educated voters picking Trump for president

Image via Edison Research for the National Election Pool

Non-white voters, both with and without college education, record much less support for Trump as compared to Clinton.

5. The income bracket do not seem to play a significant role in indicating voters' political affiliations, although those earning less than USD50,000 per year are slightly more inclined towards Clinton

Image via Edison Research for the National Election Pool

6. Voters from small cities and rural areas favour Trump, making up for the lack of support in bigger cities

Image via Edison Research for the National Election Pool

7. Over four million votes went to third party candidates, making up about 5% of the total voter turnout

Image via Twitter @BauervanStraten

Some voters share the sentiment that third-party voters, who made up a small portion of votes in swing states, may have done so as part of a "protest" against the two main candidates, hence tipping the scales for Trump:

If you voted Trump, you voted Trump, if you voted 3rd party, you voted Trump, if you didn't vote, YOU VOTED TRUMP #AmericaisOverParty— Dizzy (@dizzy_izzy_101) November 9, 2016

Congrats third party voters - you literally sent no message to anyone and you're helping Trump win Florida -even though you didn't want him.— Jen  Nasty Kirkwoman (@JenKirkman) November 9, 2016

On Twitter-verse, there were also rumours that up to 15,000 third-party voters may have voted for the late Harambe via write-in votes

Image via Reuters

17-year-old gorilla Harambe (pic above) was shot and killed by workers at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016. His death did not just spark massive outrage all over the world, Harambe soon became the subject of several viral memes.

Harambe had 11,000 write in votes. This is our FUTURE and you decide to play and vote for a dead gorilla? Goodnight— Hailoesha (@mariehaileyy) November 9, 2016

To the 15,000 people who took their opportunity to vote and wrote harambe... it may be a joke to you, but so many were counting on you.— Hayley Williams (@HayleyWi11iams) November 9, 2016

Here's to the next four years of a Trump presidency, folks!

                Donald Trump Is The President Of The USA

Here's how it impacts Malaysia.

Kurangkan Barangan Tingkatkan Amalan, Lelaki Ini Kongsi 6 Checklist Wajib Bawa Ketika Haji

Menunaikan ibadah haji merupakan impian setiap  muslimin dan muslimat untuk menyempurnakan rukun Islam yang terakhir

Image via Sajadah

Ibadah haji adalah wajib bagi setiap umat Islam yang mampu dari segi tahap kesihatan serta kewangan untuk menunaikannya dengan mengunjungi dan melaksanakan beberapa amalan di beberapa tempat di Mekah serta kawasan yang berhampiran dengannya pada musim haji iaitu pada bulan Zulhijah.Ibadah haji telah pun dilakukan semenjak zaman Rasulullah SAW lagi pada kurun ketujuh masihi.

Lazimnya, bagi bakal tetamu Allah SWT yang kali pertama mahu berangkat ke Tanah Suci untuk menunaikan ibadat haji sering bertanya mengenai barangan yang perlu dibawa ke Mekah dan Madinah sepanjang tempoh beribadat

Seorang pengguna Facebook, Saudagar Haramain atau Abu Aiman Handzalah, baru-baru ini telah berkongsikan checklist barangan wajib yang perlu dibawa oleh jemaah haji bagi memastikan perjalanan menunaikan ibadah itu berjalan dengan lancar dan tersusun.

Image via Facebook Saudagar Haramain

Ikuti perkongsian beliau di bawah:

17 Zulkaedah 1439H ~ 21 Days Road to Arafah.Persediaan demi persediaan sedang dilakukan terutama jemaah haji yang masih belum berangkat ke Tanah Suci Mekah. Tapi realiti sebenar apabila tibanya jemaah di Mekah, selesai sahaja umrah qudum (selamat datang) sudah 30% ibadah haji anda lengkap. Jadi tenang-tenang sahaja yer. Sebenarnya haji ini sangat mudah dari segi teori cuma susah dalam bentuk praktikal. Sebab kita buat haji sekali seumur hidup. Yang mudahnya setiap tahun orang pergi melaksanakan ibadah haji. Cuma kita sahaja yang prihatin atau tidak ambil tahu berkenaan perjalanan haji. Ramai sahaja yang pernah pergi umrah lagi cepat untuk memahami rukun haji dan pantang larangnya.

Image via Facebook Saudagar Haramain

Tips kali ini saya ingin kongsikan berkenaan barang apakah yang wajib untuk kita siapkan untuk dibawa dari 8 zulhijjah sehingga 13 zulhijjah di Masyair (Arafah, Mudzalifah & Mina). Pihak pengurusan Tabung Haji (TH) telah memberi pesanan kepada semua jemaah untuk membawa hanya satu beg tarik yang tertulis 5kg sahaja untuk perjalanan selama 6 hari 5 malam.

Muat tak barang keperluan nak bawa?

Kalau saya pun akan jawab memang tak muat. Apatah lagi hajah-hajah punya barang lagilah tak muat. Kalau tiap kali musim haji sayalah khadam yang akan membantu hajah-hajah mengangkut beg mereka. Dalam ingatan saya hajah-hajah ni bawa batu ke apa? Berat dan padat semacam jer.

Image via Facebook Saudagar Haramain

Untuk tips bagaimana untuk minimumkan barang yang perlu dibawa, saya senaraikan di bawah seperti berikut:

1. Kain ihram dan telekung

Kain ihram bagi haji-haji, sekurang-kurangnya satu helai sahaja, bukan satu set yer. Satu set kita sudah pakai, so sediakan satu lagi untuk “spare”. Cari kain ihram yang sederhana tebal. Pengalaman saya setiap tahun saya akan bawa sejak 2009-2013. Tapi bila dah boleh biasakan diri 2014-2017 saya terus tak bawa “spare”.Jangan tiru yer bagi yang kali pertama haji. Menangis nanti. Ihram juga kalau tak guna untuk pakai boleh di buat alas bantal atau selimut di Mina nanti. Aircond sesetengah khemah macam peti sejuk pun ada ikut rezeki masing-masing.Telekung bagi hajah-hajah, sekurang-kurangnya 2 set telekung. Satu telekung hajah sudah pakai pada hari berangkat, 2 lagi bawa. Seeloknya satu warna putih & satu warna gelap supaya boleh beza yang dah guna atau belum guna. Suami pun boleh cam telekung hajah masing-masing. Telekung bukan atas bawah tau, mini telekung pakai dengan seluar labuh berwarna.(Maaf kalau tersilap maksud, sila betulkan di ruangan komen). Bawa satu helai ihram minta dari suami juga untuk jadikan bantal atau selimut

2. Dua set pakaian untuk dua hari di Mina

Bawa 2 T-shirt dan 2 seluar berwarna atau putih yang nipis untuk dua hari sahaja di Mina.Satu pakaian selepas tahallul dan satu pakaian lagi pada 12 Zulhijah. Ramai je saya tengok bawa baju Melayu beraya sepanjang perjalanan untuk melontar di jamrah. Baru meriah.

Image via Facebook Saudagar Haramain

3. Peralatan kebersihan diri

Bawa sabun dalam botol kecil, berus gigi dan ubat gigi yang kecil, botol spray dan botol air minum minima 500ml. Gunting kecil atau pencukur wajib ada seorang satu untuk bertahallul nanti. Elakkan mengharap teman @ suami yang kena bawa. Bawa seorang satu. Sejadah atau tikar untuk lapik di atas pasir. Beli yang murah sahaja dan pakai buang. Uncang batu & uncang kasut terpulang. Batu kebiasaan letak dalam botol lepas basuh takut ada najis.

4. Powerbank

Bawa powerbank sendiri. Jangan bawa wayar kabel sendiri sahaja. Nanti kawan yang bagi pinjam guna terasa hati. Buat haji ini masing-masing hati tisu tau walaupun dia seorang lelaki yang kuat. Kalau nak share bawa wayar plug yang kecil seperti dalam gambar dibawah. Memang terbaik siap ada 4 slot USB lagi. Dapat pahala besar siapa yang bawa.

Image via Facebook Saudagar Haramain

5. Buku bacaan dan Al-Quran

Bawa sedikit buku bacaan & Al-Quran kecil bagi mengisi masa sepanjang perjalanan haji. Cuma hati-hati jangan letak ditempat jemaah boleh melangkah. Letak dalam sling bag TH jer.

6. Duit belanja

Bawa duit belanja SAR50 kalau nak beli makanan yang dijual di kedai luar khemah.Makanan pagi di Mina roti & maggi cup sahaja. Itu pun terhad untuk seorang satu. Kalau nak lebih belilah di kedai luar tepi jalan.

Image via Facebook Saudagar Haramain

Senarai yang saya tulis di atas barang perlu diberikan priority lebih bagi yang mengikut haji sepenuhnya dengan muassasah

Bagi yang ingin berulang ke hotel lagi sikit sahaja barang yg perlu dibawa. Bawa beg galas pun sudah cukup.Semoga mendapat haji yang mabrur inshaAllah.

Semoga perkongsian ini memberi manfaat buat semua!

32-Year-Old M'sian Becomes Quick Fan Favourite On UK TV Show 'The Great British Bake Off'

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

A Malaysian home baker has made it onto Britain's favourite amateur baking competition, The Great British Bake Off

Having only baked her first cake about five years ago, Syabira Yusoff will be competing against 11 other contestants in season 13, which premiered last Tuesday, 13 September.

Image via @BritishBakeOff (Twitter)

The 32-year-old got into baking while she was homesick as a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) student in the UK, having left Malaysia back in 2013 to pursue her degree

"I found that writing my PhD was a lonely process, especially because I'd moved from Malaysia to England," she told King's College London, her current workplace, in an interview."One of my most treasured memories was eating red velvet cake with my friends before I flew to England," she said, recounting her first time baking."One day, I was homesick, so I tried to recreate the cake. I was so impressed with the result and continued baking!"

Image via @syabira_bakes (Instagram)

Syabira is now a postdoctoral researcher in cardiac surgery at King's College London, and is happily settled in London with her boyfriend

When she is home from working at the laboratory all day, she spends her time in the kitchen perfecting her recipes.As seen on her Instagram account @syabira_bakes, after mastering cakes, the passionate home baker also learnt how to make pastries, breads, and pies before deciding to compete in The Great British Bake Off, which she is fond of watching with her boyfriend."They were making brownies [on the show], and I said to myself 'I can make brownies, so I could do Bake Off as well!'" she said candidly.She added that she is a very quick learner, as only a year before that, she had only known how to bake cakes.

Image via Channel 4/What To Watch

And her hard work is paying off.
Her baking skills are currently getting all the attention it deserves, as on the very first episode of season 13, Syabira has already won her first Technical Challenge!

The challenge? Each contestant had to bake their best rendition of a red velvet cake.Talk about validation!

Image via @BritishBakeOff (Twitter)

The 32-year-old's bubbly personality has also gotten herself tons of fans so far, with many declaring her their favourite baker on the show

With only two episodes out, she has already impressed judges and fans with her attention to detail and hilarious misunderstandings of the show's impossible challenges.According to Syabira's baker's profile, fans are also excited to see what Malaysian twists she will bring to the traditional British pastries that they have to bake on the show.
