Netizens Defend Syed Saddiq When Someone Tried To Call Him Out On An Old Clubbing Photo

Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman made an epic clapback when a Twitter user tried to call him out by posting an old photo of him dancing in a club

The Twitter user, who goes by the handle Naratif Rakyat, posted the picture last Thursday, 7 November, along with the caption, "Did you not tear a tissue while you were dancing?"

Tissue tak terkoyak ke masa buat joget style gerudi? pic.twitter.com/5mka8CKD23— Naratif Rakyat (@NaratifRakyat) November 7, 2019

Aptly using Twitter's current viral catchphrase, Syed Saddiq started his reply with #OkBoomer

According to South China Morning Post, 'OK, Boomer' has become the response of choice for Generation Z towards older social media users who try to shut down messages important to the younger generation, such as inclusivity and climate change.

#OkBoomer Semua orang ada sejarah, termasuk saya. I cannot change my past, but i can change my future.I owned up to it. Saya mengaku dan tidak mahu menipu. Ini pada tahun 2013. Isu lapuk. Jom bincang isu dasar, isu negara. Focus should be on the rakyat. https://t.co/O7MVYRUZO6— Syed Saddiq (@SyedSaddiq) November 11, 2019

"Everyone has a history, so do I," Syed Saddiq wrote, "I cannot change my past, but I can change my future.""I owned up to it. I admitted and do not want to lie," he continued, "This happened in 2013, an outdated issue. Let's discuss policies and national issues. Focus should be on the people."

His tweet has gained a lot of support from understanding netizens

Despite not being a fan of the minister, this Twitter user tried to be fair, "Some people forget that others are humans too, as if they could be imperfect but others can't. You were young and now still young indeed. We are just trying to explore our own lives. Make mistakes, learn from them."

I'm not your fan but always, some people terlupa yg orang lain pun manusia juga.Umpama mereka jer boleh jadi manusia tak sempurna, orang lain tak boleh. Back then, you were young & still young now indeed. We were just trying to explore our own life. Make mistake, learn from it.— ajai feisal (@iamajaifeisal) November 11, 2019

"I'd be worried if you never went dancing when you were younger," wrote another user.

And this was the past. Before you became a minister. I’d be worried if you never went dancing when young .— Tini z (@tiniz) November 11, 2019

While this user tried to bring up an important question, "Sorry YB, but I seriously want to know what song were you so busy dancing to? Maybe our taste in music is the same."

Sorry yb bukan nak perli ke apa tapi serious nak tahu masa tengah khusyuk nari ni, lagu apa yang dimainkan? Mana tahu taste lagu kita sama.— NrhdyhMhmed (@CikManisDonut) November 11, 2019

Naratif Rakyat still maintains their stance against Syed Saddiq

"For those who support him and do not understand the context, this is not to bring up old news," the user clarifies, "This tweet is about Syed Saddiq lying during the case involving Papagomo. Go to school. Looks like you do not understand current affairs."

Yang budak2 kecik yg sokong mamat ni dan tak faham context tweet , ini bukan pasal “nak buka pasal perkara lama”, this tweet is about the present case involving Papagomo that Syed Saddiq lied about. Tolong pegi sekolah ye. Nampak sangat tak faham current affairs— Naratif Rakyat (@NaratifRakyat) November 9, 2019

For context, the original post by Naratif Rakyat was a mockery in reference to the Youth and Sports Minister's testimony in a recent court hearing

According to The Star, Syed Saddiq testified last week against blogger Papagomo for intentionally causing injury to his neck and shoulder during the Semenyih state by-election nomination day in February.It is alleged that after the nomination, as Syed Saddiq was about to leave the venue, a group of Barisan Nasional supporters had swarmed the minister and his three security officers.At that moment, Papagomo, whose real name is Wan Muhammad Azri, had grabbed the minister's left shoulder and neck resulting in a 'soft tissue injury' that required the minister to seek treatment at a hospital.The trial before Magistrate Nor Afidah Idris is set to continue on 28 January 2020.

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Amiruddin Hamzah said a new targeted fuel subsidy mechanism is expected to be announced early next year

Amiruddin made the announcement after launching a World Bank report titled "Malaysia's Digital Economy: A New Driver of Development" yesterday, 12 September."We are working hard towards it and we hope that we can make the announcement early next year. The sooner we get it finalised, the sooner we can get it launched," he said, as reported by Bernama.

The subsidy will be given to motorists with 125cc and below motorcycles and 1,300cc and below cars

Unlike the current blanket fuel subsidy, the new targeted fuel subsidy will be provided "at an appropriate rate every month" and "according to a quota that would be determined for eligible groups," Amiruddin told theSun.The new subsidy will benefit those who belong to the bottom 40% household income group (B40) and owners of 125cc and below motorcycles and 1,300cc and below cars.

Amiruddin also denied that the Pakatan Harapan manifesto included a pledge to reduce petrol prices to RM1.50 per litre

Senator Datuk Ng Chiang Chin had raised the matter of fuel subsidies in Dewan Negara yesterday, 12 September, based on a purported plan by the government to reduce the petrol price to RM1.50, "as promised by Pakatan Harapan in its election manifesto".

Amiruddin denied the inclusion of such a promise in the manifesto and added that there are no plans to reduce the petrol price to RM1.50 per litre unless the crude oil price drops to that level, reported EdgeProp.

Between May and July, the government spent RM1.667 billion on petrol subsidies

"At the moment, the government still maintains the retail price of RON95 and diesel at RM2.20 and RM2.18 respectively, although the market value is much higher than that," Amiruddin told Dewan Negara.Meanwhile, the price of RON97 was left to float according to market value on a weekly basis as it is considered a premium product used by those among the higher class, Amiruddin told theSun.

Back in May, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged:

                Tun M: Fuel Prices To Remain. We Will Subsidise If Necessary

The previous government had set the fuel prices on a weekly basis.

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

Malaysians have been on their gadgets since early in the morning yesterday, 16 May, in order to get their hands on tickets for Coldplay's upcoming concert in November

Fans of the band have been waiting for them to come to Malaysia for years, with many taking to social media to declare that they will go to any lengths to watch the band perform live.Some even went the extra mile by using, not one, but three devices to sit in queue while waiting patiently for their turn to choose their seats and check out.

Amidst the chaos of securing the concert tickets, the Malaysian Twitter-sphere exploded with disgruntled fans who were unable to secure a seat for the once-in-a-lifetime event.

While news of scalpers reselling tickets to the show at exorbitant prices is making headlines, one Carousell user caught netizens' attention for the funniest reason

In a tweet shared by Twitter user @elizaachaii, the woman said that she came across a hilarious online listing for Coldplay's concert tickets.She also attached a screenshot of the listing, which shows the Carousell user claiming to offer four CAT 2 tickets for RM3,082.Interestingly, the user wrote in the listing description that those tickets aren't actually for sale, but they were only posting them to show off that they managed to do the impossible."For show only. I got the tickets, you don't :P" they wrote.

The Carousell listing left netizens on Twitter laughing in amusement (and inducing jealousy in some)

One Twitter user wrote that the listing is the perfect definition of flexing.

"I hope every single time they charge their phone, they forget to turn on the switch," cursed another in jest.

"I hope they will always hit their toe at the corner of tables," another user commented.

Meanwhile, SAYS has already observed concert tickets being sold at exorbitant prices on several unofficial reseller sites:

                Scalpers Are Reselling Tickets To Coldplay's KL Concert For More Than Double The Price

Some of the cheapest tickets for the concert, RM288 for CAT 7, are now being sold for RM1,527.

Here's My Honest Experience After Visiting Lax Retreat In KL

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

There's a new spa that recently opened in KL and it's quickly become the talk of the town

Image via SAYS

Lax Retreat is a serene escape for a girls' day out or a self-care session if you need to unwind. Founded by sisters, Mardhiah and Labiba Nadwa Latiff, Lax opened its doors in March as a safe space for the modern-day woman to prioritise herself or her girlfriends/mothers.Located in The LINC, KL, the women's-only spa offers body treatments, mani-pedis, and facials.

Image via @izreensyafika (Instagram)

Image via Lax. Retreat (Facebook)

Lax, which is a play on the word 'relax', aims to pamper women in the midst of their busy lifestyles. With that in mind, careful thought went into the design and interior of the space.

As you enter, you'll be greeted with soft pink, coral, and a hint of mint green tones, flowy curtains, curved walls, and cosy furniture. There's a lounge, where you can order a drink while waiting for your appointment, or after the session is over.

Image via @sherreenl (Instagram)

Image via @_kamilapotter (Instagram)

I recently visited Lax Retreat and here's how my experience went

I booked 'The Skin Deep' body treatment, which is a deep tissue massage that focuses on muscle tension and helps reduce muscle aches. As you enter the room, you'll be required to change into a pareo. There's a small switch that you turn on to light up an orb outside the room that indicates to the masseuse when you're done changing. It's a small detail but it does add that touch of convenience, so you don't need to open the curtains and look for the staff.

There are individual rooms as well as shared rooms if you book a session with a friend.
Image via @lax.retreat (Instagram)

Other details like getting to select your playlist (during facials and body treatments) from options, such as Lo-Fi and rain sounds, allows you to customise your experience. Prior to the massage, Agesh, my masseuse, tested different scented oils on my hand for me to select from that she could use during the session. Not being a fan of soft massages, The Skin Deep was a good choice for me personally. Agesh was really thorough throughout the 60-minute session, focusing on the tensed areas and checking if the pressure was alright for me along the way.

Image via @lax.retreat (Instagram)

Image via SAYS

The masseuse wore a mask and a pair of gloves throughout the session

However, the gloves did not affect the massage in any way. I almost didn't realise she was wearing them. Or maybe I just desperately needed a massage. :P

Image via SAYS

I left feeling like she targeted all the right spots and the tension in my shoulder and neck was loosened. At the end of the treatment, Agesh offered complimentary lemongrass and ginger tea at the lounge.

Image via @haenii__ (Instagram)

Image via SAYS

Here are some other things to take note of:

All things considered, you are paying for the experience and details that you might not get at other spas in general. The Skin Deep treatment cost RM225 (RM195 for Lax members). Aside from that, they also offer traditional, exfoliating, pre-natal, and other massage types at different prices (some are cheaper than others).Their mani-pedi sessions are around RM100 onwards, while facials start from RM245 for non-members.

Image via @lax.retreat (Instagram)

If you're a Lax member (RM39/month or RM399/year), the prices are significantly cheaper, which may work out better in the long run.Even if you're not someone who visits the spa regularly (like me), it's still quite a pleasant, luxurious experience that you can treat yourself or your loved ones to once in awhile.You can find out more information on their Facebook and Instagram.

Zeti Reveals How Najib Tried To Get Her To Clear His Name For The RM2.6 Billion Deposit

In a statement on Tuesday, 3 July, former Bank Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz denied being aware of the RM2.6 billion deposited into ex-prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's bank account before 2013 elections

Image via Lim Huey Teng/MalaysiaKini

In 2015, Najib was accused of channelling over RM2.6 billion from 1Malaysia Development Berhad funds into his personal bank account. When questioned, the former prime minister said that it was a "donation" given to him by a Saudi royal and that RM2.5 billion was returned to the donor after GE13.Recently on Monday, 2 July, Najib told MalaysiaKini that former central bank governor Zeti knew about the cash yet "did nothing". "If Bank Negara is in the know of these funds and they had an inkling or some knowledge that there could be some doubts about the source of the funds, I expected them to tell me.""But nothing of that sort happened. So I assumed all along that it was fine," he said.

However, Zeti refuted the former premier's claims towards her. Instead, she said that on 3 July, 2015, she was called in to see Najib at his office in Putrajaya.

Image via EPA

"He made a request for me to issue a statement that he had done nothing wrong in his account," she said yesterday, in reference to the large sum that was sitting in his bank account.During their conversation in 2015, Zeti claims she told Najib that she could not issue such a statement as she had no prior knowledge of the transactions that were made.Zeti then said that she later received a call from another Cabinet Minister requesting for the same thing - to issue the statement. She retorted with the same answer.

In her statement yesterday, Zeti added that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) relies on information provided by reporting financial institutions

"Unless the relevant banking institution reports to BNM of irregularities in an account or if BNM received a tip off that gives a reason to believe that an offence has occurred, the Central Bank is not able to initiate investigation into the account," she said.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said he met Zeti at a Hari Raya function yesterday, where she told him that the former prime minister's allegations about her were false

Image via Bernama

"Zeti told me that she was upset and that the claims made by Najib were completely false, baseless and untrue."Lim added that between Zeti and Najib's statements, he would believe Zeti. "We should always let due process take its course. If you want to compare, between Najib and Zeti, who would you believe?" he asked."Who has and who has not amassed Hermes bags? Who has and who has not jewellery worth RM200 million? Who has and who has not RM116 million in cash?""Let the Malaysian people decide," Lim concluded, reported MalaysiaKini.

Zeti resigned as bank governor in 2016 and became a member of the Council of Elders after GE14. Last week, she was appointed as chairman of Permodalan Nasional Bhd:

The former BNM governor will assume the post at PNB on 1 July.

If You Could Simply Run Your Android OS On Your PC, Would Your Life Be More Complete?

Yesterday, Intel announced its plans to run Android and Windows on the same PC in perfect harmony

Anyone who's tried it can tell you that cohabitation is hard. But Intel's hoping that those Odd Couple hiccups can be overcome with its Dual OS project, which puts Android and Windows in the same, dual-booting PC. Felix, meet Oscar.

        gizmodo.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

Here's what Intel is promising: the ability, with the push of a button, to switch between Windows and Android. It's supposed to be a seamless experience, and a secure one, thanks to Intel's commitment to device protection.

        theverge.com

And now it seems that AMD has the exact same plan. Here's what we know so far.

CHIP DESIGNER AMD likely made some enemies at Microsoft on Monday, announcing at CES 2014 that it will be bringing the full Android experience to Windows PCs.

        theverge.com

Image via androidheadlines.com

AMD on Monday announced a partnership with Bluestacks, which will run Google's Android operating system within Microsoft's Windows software on two-in-one, tablet, PC and laptop devices.

        theinquirer.net

According to Verge, you'll be able to "launch individual Android apps from the Windows 8 Start Screen just like they were native Windows programs", as well as being able to search for new Android apps via Microsoft's own Windows 8 search charm, as long as you link app stores into the search system.

        theverge.com

But there's perhaps a trick up AMD's sleeve that'll make Intel jealous: it's latest chips will include an ARM chip inside.

That's the same silicon that Android apps normally use, and it could mean that Android apps are run on their native chip design, making them way more efficient.

        gizmodo.com

That's a pretty big 'could', but it would be cool if it works out—especially when it comes to saving battery life, because virtualization of Android on another system uses a lot of juice.

How People Are Avoiding The Floor Panel Of Escalators After Mum Falls To Death

If you have been catching up with news, you would know that a Chinese woman was killed last Sunday, 27 July after a panel of an escalator collapsed under her feet

Image via Youtube

Chinese state media on Monday named the woman as 31-year-old Xiang Liujuan. Struggling with only her upper body above the metal structure, Xiang is seen pushing her son forward. The boy is quickly pulled to safety by a mall employee standing near the top of the escalator.

        cnn.com

After a four-hour rescue mission at the AZG Mall in central China, firefighters declared Xiang dead. She leaves behind her husband and her 2-year-old son.

With the lack of enforcement on safety regulation and increase corruption, China is prone to such accidents

In 2012, a nine-year-old boy was killed after he got stuck in an escalator at a Beijing department store as horrified shoppers looked on.In July 2011, a 13-year-old boy was killed and more than 20 others injured when an escalator in a Beijing underground station suddenly reversed direction during the rush hour.

        dailymail.co.uk

The increasing incidents with escalators have put fear within the hearts of many people, especially mainland Chinese

On 28 July, a video showing some of the innovative ways of avoiding the landing panel of an escalator went viral. The video has been viewed almost 2 million times, with over 500k likes.

Did you know that fear of escalators is actually a common specific phobia? It's called Escalaphobia

Escalaphobia is a common specific phobia affecting hundreds of thousands of individuals all around the world. The word Escalaphobia comes from Greek escalo meaning ‘to move up/escalators’ and phobos which means ‘deep aversion, dread or fear’.

        fearof.net

Past negative experiences with escalators are the main trigger of this phobia

A child or an adult might have tripped or fallen down while using one. Shoelaces can easily get caught in escalators leading to accidents, though these are extremely rare. This gives rise to an exaggerated response each time, since the phobic’s brain simply learns to develop the same reaction over and over.

After Weeks Of Authorities Rejecting Over 7,000 Rohingyas, Najib Announces SAR Mission

After weeks of Malaysian authorities rejecting boats filled with Rohingya migrants and towing them out of Malaysian waters, Prime Minister Najib Razak on Thursday, 21 May, tweeted that the Malaysian navy will conduct search and rescue missions for Rohingya boats in the Andaman Sea to prevent loss of life:

I have instructed @tldm_rasmi & APMM to assist @MERCYMalaysia to deliver humanitarian assistance to the Rohingyan refugees, by sea or land— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) May 20, 2015

It is basic human compassion tt we ensure the hungry wl b given food & water while the sick wl b attended to w medical treatment & supplies.— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) May 20, 2015

I have further ordered @tldm_rasmi and APMM to conduct search and rescue efforts on Rohingya boats. We have to prevent loss of life.— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) May 21, 2015

Najib's comments came a day after Malaysia and Indonesia agreed to provide shelter to 7,000 migrants adrift at sea on condition that the international community resettles them within a year

Image via BBC

Malaysia and Indonesia's foreign ministers are in Myanmar for talks on the migrant crisis. About 7,000 people are believed to be still out at sea. The migrants are comprised of Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar as well as Bangladeshis. Malaysia and Indonesia have said they will temporarily shelter those that land on their territory but need help from the international community.

        bbc.com

Meanwhile Foreign Minister Anifah Aman's office said he would hold talks on Thursday with his Myanmar counterpart U Wunna Maung Lwin in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw. Myanmar has been accused of doing nothing to address the problem at home, BBC reported.

Malaysia estimates about 7,000 people are still stranded at sea.

39,000 Years Later, 'Yuka' The Mammoth Finally Reveals Herself to Us

READ: Woolly mammoth found frozen in Siberia after 39,000 years

Thirty-nine thousand years old and finally in the limelight. A frozen woolly mammoth named Yuka goes on display in Japan. The female was found in Russia and was 10 years old when she died.

        carbonated.tv

The Woolly Mammoth is the centre of attention after going on display

Image via huffpost.com

She was discovered trapped in ice on islands off Siberia with parts of  its carcass well preserved. But the upper torso and two legs, which were found in the soil rather than the ice, were gnawed by prehistoric and modern predators and almost did not survive.

        metro.co.uk

Scientists have made several unsuccessful attempts to revive the species. Mammoth expert Norihisa Inuzuka said Yuka should provide more information about these creatures

        carbonated.tv

Dr Grigoriev originally put the age of the animal at around 10,000 years but more recent dating tests suggest the creature is around 39,000 years old.

        metro.co.uk

‘It has been preserved thanks to the special conditions, due to the fact that it did not defrost and then freeze again,’ he explained. ‘We suppose that the mammoth fell into water or got bogged down in a swamp, could not free herself and died.’

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

The hope is that at least one living cell of the mammoth was preserved ‘although even with such well-preserved remains, this may not be the case’, he added.

The foot of the female woolly mammoth, pictured, shows that many of the animal's original features - including the hair that gave the mammoth its woolly name - is still intact. The upper torso and two legs, which were found in the soil and not buried in ice, were gnawed by predators and almost didn't survive

Thief Who Failed To Rob A Bank: 'I'm Sorry, Had To Feed My Kids'

As per a report by The Times of India, a thief, apparently bitten by poverty, broke into a bank in the Indian city of Delhi late Sunday night, 21 December. But his maiden crime bid turned out to be unsuccessful as he failed to locate the strongroom and the vault.

Police officials inspecting tools used to break into the bank

However, the thief, after his failed attempt at robbery, left a moving letter for the bank manager, explaining how his circumstances forced him into crime because he had recently lost his job and needed to provide for his family, which included three children

"I lost my job in a private company. I have a family and children.""It is very difficult to maintain family due to price rise and inflation. This was my first attempt to rob the bank and I failed," said the thief in the letter, according to a report in The Times of India.

        firstpost.com

The same report cited the police as saying that the thief broke into the bank with sophisticated tools and instruments, including iron rod cutters, but failed to find the strongroom and the safe

Vijay Dhul, circle officer (City I), said that the bank officials found the door locks broken when they came for duty on Mondau morning, and then informed the cops."We found that the locks were broken. We searched the strongroom and found that it was untouched and money was safe. The thief did not damage any computer or stole any valuables," he said, adding that forensic experts also chipped in to help in the probe.However, he left behind two bags full of tools and iron rod cutters in the bank. As the bank premise was being renovated, the CCTV cameras installed were not functional, the cops said. A case has been registered in Sector 20 police station. But, no arrest has yet been made.

        indiatimes.com

As per another report by Hindustan Times, the letter, written in Hindi, that the thief left behind to the bank manager, translates as:

What greetings, Sir?Today, I'm writing this while sitting in your chair. I have three young children. Inflation has increased severely.I had a private job, it's gone too.

Here's the copy of the letter:

A Malaysian student has died after falling off his apartment in Sydney, Australia, yesterday, 6 August

According to Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), 22-year-old Amirul Ashraff Md Azha's death was caused after he slipped off his apartment building. Amirul was a former Langkawi MARA Junior Science College (MRSM) student from Taiping, Perak and was spending his final year at the University of Technology Sydney studying Mechatronic Engineering, reported Malay Mail.

I was told that my son fell from his apartment, located about five kilometres from the university," the 48-year-old father was quoted as saying by NST Online on Tuesday."I'm still waiting for further details from MARA, as he is a MARA student," he added.

The grief-stricken father hinted at Amirul being under a lot of pressure as he had failed five subjects

"My son had already submitted an appeal to MARA. I feel that he was under a lot of pressure," NST Online quoted the father as saying."He did not tell me of any other problems apart from having failed the five subjects."Azhar shared that Amirul was the eldest of three sibilings, adding that the last time he spoke to him was on his birthday, 30 July.

MARA has since released a statement, confirming that Amirul was a sponsored student

"MARA wishes heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased," the Malaysian government agency said in the statement."Overseas MARA officers in Australia rushed to the scene shortly after the incident was reported, for identification purposes," the statement added.MARA has assured that they will work together with the embassy in Australia to ensure that the remains are returned to the family for burial once the post-mortem has concluded.According to Azhar, the funeral is expected to take place in Taiping.

SPM Students Can No Longer Use Trial Exam Results To Enter University

Education Ministry Backs Down On SPM Forecast Results Ruling

Second Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.

The Education Ministry has backed down and allowed students to enrol into private higher education institutions in January next year with their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) forecast results, after its earlier decision created a storm with parents and education groups.

        themalaysianinsider.com

But, students can only formally register for their courses after getting their actual SPM results in March, The Star Online reported today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The ministry will release the results on March 3, two weeks earlier than the usual. This allows students to finish their pre-university courses in time to further their studies abroad.

        themalaysianinsider.com

He said announcing the results two weeks earlier than scheduled will allow students to register and complete their pre-university studies in the period set by the Private Institutions of Higher Learning (IPTS) before furthering their studies to Australia and New Zealand for the February 2016 intake.

Idris said this decision is only applicable to this year's SPM results, while results for the next SPM batch will be decided later. He said the decision also demonstrated the government's concern for the needs of the public and for the good of education. "It was a difficult decision to make, but after discussions we decided that this is best for the educational institution, students and everyone involved," he added.

28 Sept: Secondary School Graduates Will No Longer Be Able To Use SPM Forecast Results To Apply For Pre-University Or Foundation Programmes

SPM trial results will no longer be admissible for pre-university and foundation programmes entry beginning January, in a move that could throw the education plans of tens of thousands of secondary school leavers into disarray.

        themalaymailonline.com

As SPM Results Are Only Released In March, Every Year 30,000 Students Would Use Trial Exam Results To Apply For January Intake Of Pre-University Programmes

Students sit for the SPM examinations in November and results are usually released at the end of March the following year. Each year, about 30,000 students register using their school trial exam results for pre-university programmes that start in January.

        thestar.com.my

This Has Been The Practice For The Past Thirty Years

Image via themalaymailonline.com

The circular shocked the private education industry, which has over the past 30 years, relied on admissions based on forecast results.

        thestar.com.my

He said Mapcu acknowledged that one of the conditions stated in all letters of approval for private higher education institutions was the entry qualification for each course. “In the case of foundation courses, the minimum standard of SPM results is specified and that there is no provision made for forecast results within those conditions and, therefore, admitting students based on forecast results is considered an infringement of these conditions.

        thestar.com.my

“However, the admission of students with forecast results has been the practice in the past three decades and allowed by the ministry. “It was even encouraged during the mid 1990s when the country was plagued with the lepak and bohsia problems to ensure that post-school students were occupied productively,” he added.

        thestar.com.my

However, The Education Ministry Has Now Notified Private Institutions Of Higher Educations That SPM Forecast Results Would No Longer Be Accepted As Admission Qualifications

Image via propertyfasttrack.com

The Education Ministry notified heads of private institutions of higher education that such results would no longer be accepted as admission qualifications, unlike in previous years.

        thestar.com.my

A circular issued by the Education Ministry dated May 23, 2014, which was sighted by Malay Mail Online, stated that SPM forecast results may only be used to secure travel documents and not for entry into higher education programmes.

        themalaymailonline.com

“The use of forecast result (sic) for international students’ applications to further their studies at private higher education programmes is only for their visa applications to enter Malaysia. “This will not affect the process and conditions that have been enforced before this, where students still need to use their actual results when registering for private higher education programmes,” stated a letter dated July 1, 2013 that was contained in the circular.

        themalaymailonline.com

This Means Students Who Are Ready To Further Their Studies Would Have To Delay Their Education By Up To A Year As Wait For The Release Of The Official SPM Results

Dr Parmjit said the discussions included the impact on students, especially those who had decided on what they wanted to do and highly motivated on furthering their studies. They would now be held back for a few months and might get into unproductive activities or idle away their time.

        thestar.com.my

Dr Parmjit said students who planned to pursue their studies in Australia and New Zealand might lose a year because of the later start of their matriculation or foundation courses, thus delaying their Bachelor degree courses.

        thestar.com.my

Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) chair Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said students who would otherwise be able to join courses starting in January must now wait until the July or August intakes for pre-university programmes like the A Level. “It makes a lot of difference, especially when you’re paying for higher education through your nose,” Azimah told Malay Mail Online. “If you do A Levels, let’s say you start in January 2015, by mid-2016, you’d finish. But if you start in July, you only finish in 2017,” she added.

Sighing At The Waste Of Time, Many Students Expressed Frustration At The Disruption Of Their Study Plans

Image via blogspot.com

Many students told the English language daily that they did not understand why their school trial examination results were no longer acceptable, adding that the practice had been allowed by the Education Ministry for decades.

        themalaysianinsider.com

They said their study plans were now disrupted as they had to wait another three months for the actual SPM results to be released before they could apply for the programmes. "This can really interfere with my plans. I want to pursue an Australian matriculation programme in January and study in Australia where the intake is in February," M. Raju, a Form Five student, told The Sunday Star.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"It will be frustrating to waste three months waiting for the actual results," Gabrielle T, a student, was quoted as saying. "I don't understand why we can't use forecast results when our seniors could. It is really unfair."

DAP Slammed The Move, Saying That It Will Force Students To Go Through Compressed Foundation Programmes Or Even Delay Their Entry Into University

Image via abnxcess.com

Students who want to pursue tertiary education at private institutions are being punished by the Education Ministry's decision to bar Form Five students from using forecast results of the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) to apply for pre-university programmes, a DAP lawmaker has said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"If there are no major problems with the quality of forecast SPM exams, which are usually harder than the actual SPM exams, why should the ministry want to disqualify the use of these trial exam results for initial entry into private colleges and universities? "As long as no valid reasons are given by the Ministry of Education, this new restriction should be immediately withdrawn," Ong Kian Ming.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Forcing students to wait 3 months until the SPM results are officially released at the end of March means that students will either have to go through compressed foundation programmes, spending 15 months to prepare for A-level exams rather than the normal 18 months, or their entry into university will be delayed by one year," he said.

Malacca Action Group for Parents in Education (Magpie) Says The Education Ministry Is Preventing Students From Wanting To Excel

Parent groups said the ministry was preventing students from wanting to excel, and without giving any reason for it. “These students use the forecast results because they want to enter college earlier. Our Education Ministry should encourage that kind of proactive, motivated attitude, not hold them back,” said Malacca Action Group for Parents in Education (Magpie) chairman, Mak Chee Kin.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“For these proactive students, they are wasting time waiting for the official results. Some colleges only have intakes for January and September each year, which means a difference of eight months,” Mak told The Malaysian Insider in Kuala Lumpur. “It makes us wonder what kind of officers we have in the Education Ministry. I really can’t think of any policies it has made that has benefitted stakeholders.”

        themalaysianinsider.com

Several Stakeholders, Including Students, Revealed That The Forecast Results Were Highly Representative Of Actual Exam Results As SPM Trial Exams Are Often Tougher Than The Real Examination

Parmjit also reportedly said results from the SPM trial exam were “highly representative” of the actual exam results and that higher grades should be imposed if the problem lay with the reliability of the forecast results.

        themalaymailonline.com

Students told The Sunday Star that forecast results were reflective of their SPM results, making such a wait unnecessary. "Our school sets really tough questions for trials to prepare us for the real examination," J. Nate was quoted as saying.

        themalaysianinsider.com

She said using the results of the Form Five trial public examination as admission qualifications was a way of helping Malaysian students catch up with counterparts in international schools who finish a year earlier after taking their O Level, the equivalent of SPM, at age 16.

        themalaymailonline.com

Instead Of Disqualifying SPM Trials Results, Netizens Suggest To Reschedule SPM Exams For The Results To Be Released By January Instead Of March

Netizens urged the authorities to reschedule the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examinations so that students need not rely on forecast results for pre-university entrance. Many lamented at the delay imposed upon students who want to continue their tertiary education, with one parent, Andrew T.Y., urging for the official SPM exam results to be released by January instead of March.

        thestar.com.my

Boon Haw Ang said this move should have been made a long time ago. “If forecast can be officially accepted, what's the point of having official examination? Roll out the result in early January instead of March then!”

        thestar.com.my

Noel Leong said Malaysia’s school terms should follow major countries in either the Northern or Southern hemisphere. “With school term starting in either September or April, then schedules of private and public universities will be aligned and there will be no need to rely on forecast results,” he added.

Representatives Of The Malaysian Association Of Private Colleges Have Appealed For The Decision To Be Reviewed

Representatives of the Malaysian Association of Private Colleges have met senior Education Ministry officials over the issue. Mapcu president Datuk Dr Parmjit Singh said the association had appealed for the decision to be reviewed.

        thestar.com.my

He told the paper that if there were doubts over its reliability, the solution was to specify higher grades of attainment rather than do away with it altogether.

All The Latest Updates On The iWatch Since The Early Days of Leaks And Rumours

The Most Beautiful iWatch Concept That's Both Functional And Incredibly Slick

Image via mshcdn.com

Apple still hasn’t announced made any sort of official iWatch smartwatch product announcement but that doesn’t stop the world salivating at the prospect, and knocking up design concepts to give Apple something to think about along the way.

        thenextweb.com

This time around, Berlin-based engineer Thomas Bogner, is the person behind the designs – and if we do say so ourselves, they look pretty darn sweet.

        todaysiphone.com

Image via macgasm.net

Bogner, who isn’t a product designer, described it as “basically like the bastard child of a Fuel Band and an iPhone” but we think it’s a bit nicer than that. As you can see, it uses vertical and horizontal motion to switch between apps and status updates in a smooth, fluid way.

        fastcompany.com

Whether or not the iWatch, if it is eventually revealed, will look anything like this remains to be seen, but we’re hoping it does!

MABA Apologises For Displaying Incorrect Jalur Gemilang While 'Negaraku' Was Playing

The Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA) has apologised for putting up the incorrect Malaysian flag during a match on Monday, 25 November

"As the president of MABA, I (Datuk Lua Choon Hann) would like to apologise to the rakyat of Malaysia," read a statement posted on the association's Facebook page yesterday, 26 November."MABA will take full responsibility for the carelessness of showing the wrong Jalur Gemilang during the opening ceremony of the under-15 basketball tournament."Images uploaded along with the statement on the Facebook page showed members of the association bowing in unison to express their regret.

Lua added that the association has since terminated the contractor who was responsible for showing the flag with a five-pointed star

Image via New Straits Times

He said that MABA hired the contractor for their live streaming services, adding that the order to stop the video from playing in the stadium was given once their executives realised the mistake.According to him, the five-pointed star flag was displayed while the national anthem was played.

The police have since called up MABA for questioning

New Straits Times reported that Lua showed up at the police station at 8am on Tuesday to explain the mishap that has caused widespread public outrage on the Internet."He informed that the incident was not caused by his side (MABA), instead it was a mistake committed by the information technology (IT) contractor," said Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim."We have asked MABA to lodge a police report for further action."Mazlan added that the police will still investigate the matter to see if there are any hidden agendas behind the mistake.

The incident has made MABA a target for scrutiny with several political leaders criticising the association for the blunder

Image via Owee Ah Chun/New Straits Times

Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said that the "wrong flag" is an excuse and one which he cannot accept."Even children at the age of five know which is the Malaysian flag," Syed Saddiq wrote on a Facebook post."We get angry when foreign organisers messed up our flag. When locals make the mistake too, what are we going to do?"

Image via Yusof Mat Isa/Malay Mail

Meanwhile, UMNO deputy president Mohamad Hasan said that the mistake was due to ignorance rather than racism or communism, reported Free Malaysia Today."This ignorance is because we do not care for or truly love this country. We take for granted the prosperity we attained decades ago," Hasan said in a statement.He thanked MABA for its quick apology, but added that the association should understand why the public was quick to accuse them of different reasons."MABA is seen as being monopolised by a certain race and not respecting the country’s identity. "MABA's Facebook page only posts in English and Mandarin. The tournament’s poster only emphasises English and Mandarin," Hasan said, adding that the association should use the national language to set a good example.

A Malaysian Court Just Used Artificial Intelligence To Sentence 2 Drug Offenders

On Wednesday, 19 February, a Sabah court used artificial intelligence (AI) to pass sentences in two drug-related cases

It is the first time a local court has used AI for sentencing, a move which the local media described as "a historic decision".According to theSundaily, Magistrate Jessica Ombou Kakayun keyed in the accused's occupation, marital status, age, any previous conviction, and weight of the drug into the AI system, which then produced a result of the analysis that she used to base her judgment on.A 43-year-old man, identified as Denis Modili, was sentenced to 12 months' jail by the court for possessing 0.01mg of methamphetamine at Kampung Kobusak in Penampang on 16 December last year. However, the AI recommended 10 months.In the case of the other accused, 26-year-old Christopher Divingson Mainol - who was sentenced to nine months' jail for possessing 0.16gm of methamphetamine at Kampung Cenderamata in Likas on 22 October last year - the AI recommended nine months' jail as well. New Straits Times said that in employing AI to assist in meting out sentences on the two accused, Magistrate Jessica has now become the first judge in the country to do so.

The court's decision to use AI, however, has been questioned by the defence lawyer who claimed it was against the Federal Constitution

"The Court should confine its mind to materials available in the court," Hamid Ismail, the defence lawyer of both accused, told Magistrate Jessica."Although the court has [the] discretion to decide whether to use AI or not, I fear it might affect the court's thinking in sentencing."Citing two laws under the Federal Constitution, Article 5(1) and Article 8(1), Hamid said the move was a breach of the rule of law, reported Malay Mail.Article 5(1) states that no person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty save in accordance with the law, while Article 8(1) said all persons are equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law.He added that he will file an appeal to the High Court on the issue.

Despite the defence lawyer's claims, though, Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri David Wong said that he was satisfied with the process

Image via Malai Rosmah Tuah/New Straits Times

The Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak was present during the proceedings to watch the AI in action yesterday.He said, "When we launched it, we expected it to be challenged but we have to take it as it comes.""The lawyers are entitled to make objections. It (AI) is a new tool for the court. Unless it is tested in the court, we will not know whether it is constitutional or not."He said the new process allows the accused a chance to change their guilty plea upon learning their possible sentences presented by the AI before a decision was reached by the judge.

According to Wong, AI would make sentencing more consistent and the proceedings more efficient

"In any jurisdiction in the world, the complaint is lack of consistency, why is one sentence for a year while another is a fine only," Malay Mail quoted him as saying."Using the machine to analyse all data will achieve consistency, it speeds up the process a little because the magistrate doesn't have to look up previous cases while listening to submissions."While AI is currently only used in drug cases, Wong said it will be eventually used in civil lawsuits within three years, such as cases relating to monetary compensation in car accidents.

Image via World Government Summit

Daily Express previously reported Wong as saying that Malaysia is the first country in Asia to use AI in sentencing, adding that America could be the only country in other jurisdictions to use this technology.However, a 2018 article by World Government Summit stated that China had over 100 robots in courts across the country to help judges lighten their workload as there were only 120,000 judges to deal with 19 million cases a year.

Last year, a traffic camera in eastern China using AI "caught" a man scratching his face and sent him a notification stating that he had violated the laws of the road:

                A Man In China Was Fined After A Traffic Camera Captured Him 'Scratching' His Face

The traffic camera was using artificial intelligence (AI).

Tahukah Anda Rumah Melayu Dinobatkan Antara Architecture Terbaik Di Dunia? Ini Sebabnya...

Bila balik kampung je mesti akan rasa excited sebab suasana yang begitu menenangkan dan juga vibes kampung yang sememangnya lain daripada di bandar. Tenang je...

Yang penting, jenis Rumah Melayu di kampung lebih sejuk dan selesa berbanding rumah di bandar. Tanpa menggunakan penghawa dingin pun sudah sejuk, lebih-lebih lagi pada waktu malam. Memang lena kalau dapat tidur di rumah kampung.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.

Pernahkah anda tahu bahawa Rumah Melayu telah dinobatkan antara architecture yang terbaik di dunia?
Power tak power? :D

Image via Giphy

Seorang pengguna Facebook iaitu Nazia Suhaimi telah berkongsi serba sedikit tentang fakta Rumah Melayu yang mungkin ramai tidak tahu.Perkongsian ini juga telah meraih sebanyak 5.4k shares di laman Facebook miliknya ketika artikel ini ditulis.Baca penuh di bawah:

Menurutnya, dia sangat sukakan Rumah Melayu dan ingin berkongsi sedikit ilmu supaya orang ramai lebih memahami tentang setiap bahagian yang ada di Rumah Melayu ini

LALUAN ANGIN:Perasan tak, bila kita balik ke kampung, rumah kayu ni sejuk saja. Nak-nak lagi pada waktu tengah malam, pehhh kalah rumah berhawa dingin. Merekot kesejukan kalau tak ada selimut.Sebabnya, rumah kayu ada banyak laluan angin. Papan lantai rumah ada sedikit ruang. Atas tingkap ada lubang angin. Bumbung pula kebiasaannya berlapis. Kalau tidak pun, mesti ada lubang angin.Kenapa?Sebab haba (angin panas) bergerak dari bawah ke atas. Bila ada banyak lubang angin, haba ada laluan untuk keluar. Sebab itu, kalau rumah ada siling tinggi rasa kurang panas berbanding dengan rumah bersiling rendah.

Pintu masuk lelaki dan perempuan adalah berbeza. Kenapa?

Masa saya kecil-kecil dulu, bila ikut Mak pergi kenduri di kampung, orang perempuan mesti masuk ikut pintu tengah atau pintu dapur. Saya jadi pelik. Macam tak adillah, sebab ayah masuk ikut pintu depan.Rupanya, pengaruh Islam bukan setakat pada agama saja, bahkan dalam kehidupan seharian orang Melayu itu sendiri.

Image via Google

Sebab itu ada 2 pintu. Biasanya ruang anjung atau serambi, ruang untuk orang lelaki berbual-bual. Orang perempuan pula bersosial sebelah dalam rumah; bahagian dapur atau rumah ibu. Rumah ibu ni biasanya bahagian tengah rumah dan sedikit luas. Kalau tengok cerita drama, biasanya mak-mak terlantar sakit di ruang rumah ibu inilah.

Bukan setakat itu sahaja, pernahkah anda terfikir kenapa rumah kampung ini dibina dengan tinggi?

Rumah kampung dulu tak ada pagar. Masa dulu, orang lalu celah-celah rumah kalau nak ke kedai atau surau. Cuba bayangkan kalau kita tak dapat kawal mata, mau kita skodeng rumah orang lain. Atas sebab itu jugalah, kenapa rumah kampung biasanya tinggi-tinggi.Selain itu, nak elak binatang buas atau liar masuk ke dalam rumah dan juga faktor iklim kita iaitu musim hujan yang kadang-kalanya menyebabkan banjir.Lagipun, ruang bawah rumah boleh dijadikan tempat simpanan barang. Macam stor.

Image via Google

Jika anda ingin solat, sangatlah mudah untuk mencari arah kiblat. Sebab selalunya memang akan tegak dan lurus sahaja.

Bila saya balik kampung Mak atau Ayah, nak cari kiblat cukup mudah. Bentang saja sejadah, tegak dan lurus.Biasanya bahagian depan dan belakang rumah menghadap arah Utara Selatan. Manakala bahagian kiri kanan rumah menghadap Timur Barat. Secara tak langsung, rumah menghadap kiblat dan laluan angin (cross ventilation). Sebab itu kalau duduk di serambi, sedap ditiup angin sepoi-sepoi.Orang dahulu, bukan setakat bahasanya indah. Semuanya berseni. Bahkan susun atur rumah pun bermaksud.Ini sajalah yang saya boleh share. Jenuh jugalah nak ingat kembali apa yang saya study dulu. Dengan harapan, dah tua nanti merasa duduk kampung ada kebun.Manalah tahu kan.

Seronoknya kalau dapat settle down di kampung halaman masing-masing pada hari tua nanti. :)
