Nama Tiara Jacquelina tidak perlukan pengenalan lagi dalam bidang teater tempatan. Presiden Enfiniti dan Pengarah Muzikal OlaBola ini telah menghasilkan teater muzikal bertaraf antarabangsa yang habis dijual sebelum ini seperti Puteri Gunung Ledang, P. Ramlee The Musical, dan The Secret Life of Nora.Produksi Tiara Jacquelina cukup terkenal kerana telah menetapkan tanda aras tertinggi dan meningkatkan tahap industri teater tempatan sehingga setaraf dengan produksi antarabangsa yang lain.

2. Disunting berdasarkan filem popular OlaBola yang meraih pelbagai anugerah dalam industri perfileman

Filem OlaBola yang mula ditayangkan pada Februari 2016 menjadi satu fenomena di Malaysia apabila berjaya meraih sokongan yang luar biasa dari seluruh rakyat jelata.Filem yang menampilkan rencah masayarakat majmuk dari pelbagai bangsa dan budaya ini sememangnya digemari ramai, sehingga berjaya mendapat kutipan pecah panggung melebihi RM16 juta!Pastinya, OlaBola akan menjadi lebih hebat apabila diterjemah kepada teater muzikal melalui sentuhan Enfiniti.

3. Menampilkan barisan bakat terbaik di Malaysia yang diimpi-impikan

Bercakap kepada media, Tiara Jacquelina berkata OlaBola The Musical mempunyai barisan bakat terbaik dari pelbagai bidang seni persembahan yang kini bekerjasama untuk menghidupkan semangat dan mesej OlaBola.

Kedah Just Declared Pokémon GO 'Haram' And It Now Wants Authorities To Block It

On one hand, Pokémon GO has garnered an incredible amount of positive craze. In fact, the popular game has amassed over RM806 million in less than a month.
But at the same time, it has also faced strong opposition from a number of government and religious bodies.

Case in point being IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, who had said that the Malaysian police will monitor the game even before it was released in the country.Another being Penang Mufti Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor, who wanted the game to be declared 'haram', a full 10 days before it was finally made available in Malaysia.

After its release, it was even banned from schools in the country under the existing school rules, where students are prohibited from using mobile phones in schools.

Now, it's been declared 'haram' by the Kedah Fatwa Council

The decision, which is expected to cause controversy among Pokémon GO lovers, was made by the Council in a meeting comprising 10 committee members held at its office in Anak Bukit, yesterday, 10 August, astro AWANI reported.With this decision, though, Kedah has become the first state in Malaysia to do so.

But Kedah Mufti Datuk Sheikh Mohammed Baderudin isn't just content with declaring Pokémon GO as 'haram'.
He wants it to be not only prohibited, but also prevented and blocked from being played in the country.

According to the State Mufti, government and related authorities have been urged to ban the game's application from being downloaded and played in Malaysia."We decided to prevent and forbid it. Forbidding without preventing will not stop the people from playing the game. We found that Pokémon GO contains more harm than good and gives negative impact to Muslims," he told reporters.`

He even claimed that it not only has a negative impact on the Muslim community but also the nation in general

According to Bernama, the Kedah Fatwa Committee would recommend to the Kedah Islamic Affairs Department (JAIK) to include Pokemon Go in Friday sermons and put signs at mosques to make them out of reach to players.Citing an example that people are playing Pokemon GO inside mosques and even a prayer houses, he added that the game also could harm the country's safety and security, especially when it is played in restricted areas such as army camps and other high-security areas, New Straits Time Online reported.

"We are worried that this game will have a negative impact on children as they may believe Pokémon GO can make magic while only Allah are capable of things beyond our ability," the Malay Mail Online quoted him as saying

142 PDRM Officers Have Been Tested Positive For Drugs Since August

A total of 142 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officers have been tested positive for drugs in 'Op Blue Devil'

Image via Malay Mail

This was found after a preliminary screening was conducted on all contingents since 13 August, reported Bernama. Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) director Datuk Mohd Khalil Kader Mohd said the operation to weed out drug-taking officers had never been stopped."Why did we not stop? It is because the (PDRM) top leadership planned to clean the force of unhealthy elements especially drug addicts," said Mohd Khalil.

Mohd Khalil revealed that none of the 142 officers tested positive for drugs were high-ranking officers

While the current drug test results were from preliminary screenings, the JSJN director said a more detailed pathology test will be carried out on these officers.If they were tested positive again, they would be charged in court."When we take action on them, it is the same as the action that we take on members of the public. No mercy," he added.

He said policemen addicted to drugs are suffering from "brain disease"

"We cannot afford to have police officers with brain disease in the PDRM. The force must be clean," he told reporters yesterday, 30 September.

In the first week of 'Ops Blue Devil', 86 police officers had tested positive for methamphetamine

Six police officers tested positive for amphetamines and opiates, two for cannabis, and one for ketamine, reported New Straits Times.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Datuk Seri Abdul Hamid Bador express shocked that over 100 officers' urine test came out positive for drugs then.It was seen as an indication that drug abuse in the police force was at a critical and serious level.


Don't Question Students About Condoms, Says National PIBG President

It is inappropriate to question students on the effects of selling condoms in the open, said the National Parent-Teacher Association Collaborative Council (PIBGN) yesterday, 27 September

Its president Professor Madya Datuk Mohamad Ali Hasan said this in reference to the question about condoms that has been circulating on the Internet. It was alleged that the question was found in a Form 3 Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3) trial paper. The question reads: "The selling of condoms openly in shops has a negative impact which will create a social problem in the society. Do you agree? Give your explanation."

Mohamad Ali explained that such a question would invoke curiosity among students, thus leading them to find more information online

A snapshot of the question about the sales of condoms in the public has been circulating on the Internet.
Image via Facebook

"Questions like that are not appropriate for students who are sitting for the PT3 examination and assessment. This is like encouraging students to surf the Internet and find information about condoms," he was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today."Such questions also definitely do not comply to the Syariah and should be avoided as much as possible."

The chairperson of the Parent Action Group for Education Malaysia (PAGE) also echoed the PIBG president's sentiments

"As a Muslim parent, I am shocked that this question was allowed. I would never have imagined that such a question will be asked of the students," Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim reportedly said."The question will only lead to more kids getting involved in social ills," she added.

Meanwhile, Deputy Education Minister Chong Sin Woon refused to offer any comment as he was not aware of the matter

When contacted by the press, he reportedly said that the ministry will look into the matter before issuing any statement.  "When was this PT3 assessment held? Is this viral content even true? I didn't see anything and now is not even the time for PT3."  "Firstly, I am unaware of the incident. Now is not PT3 exam season. Secondly, I have not read the question that went viral," he was quoted as saying.

Man Shows How Empty Puteri Harbour In JB Looks Like Now With Only 1 Store Open

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

A Singaporean man recently went viral on social media after he shared the current state of Puteri Harbour, Johor Bahru, on his TikTok account

In the 59-second clip, user @joshconsultancy recorded the surroundings of a shopping mall inside the Puteri Harbour commercial region.According to the man, the area used to be bustling with tourists and locals who visited the locality for its attractions, which included lively restaurants and theme parks.However, the mall can now only be seen with one Starbucks outlet open."You see, some of the restaurants have already closed. It is [now] totally empty," the man said in the video.

He also showed a residential apartment located inside the commercial region, which he claimed no one is living in anymore

"The last time I came here, which was about five years ago, things were still bustling," he said.The man then showed the interiors of Thomas Town, a children's park centred on the popular animated television (TV) show, Thomas & Friends.Thomas Town used to have special themed rides with characters from the TV show, and the area was right next to an equally kid-friendly theme park, Hello Kitty Town.However, as seen in the man's TikTok, both of the entertainment parks are now empty. Harian Metro reported that both theme parks were officially closed on 31 December 2019."When we buy foreign properties or investments, we never know what will happen in five to 10 years because the upkeep is just not there," he added.

His video was shared on Twitter and netizens reminisced about the time when Puteri Harbour was booming with visitors

One user remembered the time when they used to study in Skudai, Johor, from 2015 to 2017.They claimed that the area used to be lively, especially at nighttime.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, one user, who claimed that they are currently living in Puteri Harbour, said that the residential apartment the man mentioned in his video is empty due to a price mismatch."The restaurants and entertainment centres are too expensive and the locals can't afford to go there, so no one is buying anything," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

"Even Johoreans themselves can't afford to buy a house in Johor so all these houses are left empty, just waiting for an owner. It's not just happening in Puteri Harbour, but Forest City too," another user wrote.

Muscular Men Take Photos With Dolphin, Dolphin Dies. What Happened?

Pictures: Dolphin used as photo prop

Some tourists in the country were caught on camera while posing for pictures with a beached dolphin on Sunday. The whole idea wouldn’t have been considered

Dolphin used as a photo prop by tourists

Several men lifted the dolphin above the water as one of them flexed his muscles for the camera.This continued until local lifeguards surrounded the dolphin and guided it away to prevent further manhandling.

        yahoo.com

The dolphin was first discovered at 6pm on Sunday evening stranded near Sanya’s Dadonghai beach resort. But instead of trying to help the distressed animal, a crowd of bathers gathered in the water to pose with it.

        scmp.com

A dolphin has died in China after tourists hoisted it out of the water to pose with it for photographs. Images posted online showed a group of tourists manhandling the grey creature.

        straitstimes.com

Dolphin believed to have hit a boat before being stranded ashore

A dolphin has died of excessive bleeding in China. It was reported that it might have collided with a fishing boat before it became stranded.

        inquirer.net

Medical officers tried to help dolphin, but failed

The dolphin was then declared dead at midnight due to excessive bleeding from the caudal (tail) fin, and Hainan's Aquatic Wild Animal Rescue Center staff have since begun procedures to bury its corpse.

        scmp.com

With no professional marine rescue centre in Sanya, staff from the Sanya City Bureau of Oceans and Fishing Department were forced to contact Hainan province rescue workers who eventually arrived at 9pm.

Chinese Scientists Invent World's First Wi-Fi-Emitting Lightbulb. It's Called Li-Fi

A group of scientists in China have invented the world's first lightbulb that emits its own wifi signal

Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai, have developed a prototype for the new technology, which they have aptly named Li-Fi. Experts claim the micro-chipped LED bulb works even better than the average wireless internet connection in China.

As many as four devices near the lightbulb can connect to its signal using light frequencies rather than radio waves, according to Gizmodo.

        dailymail.co.uk

Experts claim the device works faster than the average internet connection in China

The bulb itself is embedded with a microchip that produces its signal, which at 150 megabites per second, is considerably faster than the average wifi connection in the country.

        zdnet.com

Next month researchers will unveil 10 sample lightbulbs and their accompanying kits at the International Industry Fair in Shanghai next month.

        dailymail.co.uk

Experts suggest that this faster, cheaper and more energy efficient way of connecting to the internet could become common practice in Chinese homes, where more and more people are abandoning traditional lightbulbs in favour of LEDs

        zdnet.com

However, there is still a long way to go in making Li-Fi commercially successful

"If the light is blocked, then the signal will be cut off," Professor Chi Nan explained.

        bbc.co.uk

The professor added the development of key related technologies were still in the experimental phase, such as light communication controls, microchip design and manufacturing.

A Toddler Who Was Allegedly Abused By His Adoptive Parents Has Died. Here's What We Know

A 21-month-old boy in Johor who is believed to have been abused by his adoptive parents has died

Image via Berita TV9

Muhammad Al Fateh Abdullah was initially taken to the Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital (HSNI) in Batu Pahat last week on 5 July by his adoptive mother after he suffered from fits.  He was then admitted to the Children Intensive Care Unit at the hospital on Sunday evening, 9 July.  The toddler was in a critical condition and fighting for his life, relying on breathing support apparatus. In an upsetting turn of events, the little boy died at the hospital yesterday afternoon, 11 July.

Here are some facts about the case that we've gathered so far:

1. The victim had been admitted to the hospital three times before

Image via PDRM via Berita Harian

Hospital records at the HSNI revealed that Muhammad Al Fateh was admitted to the hospital on several occasions following health complications, including suspected tuberculosis and seizures until he became unconscious.  It was reported that he was suspected to have been abused when the doctors discovered old and new injury marks on the boy's body.  Examinations on the victim's body showed that there were burn marks on the victim's right and left palms as well as on his right foot. Further inspections by HSNI also revealed that there was a fracture on the toddler's right hand.

2. The victim's adoptive parents have been remanded

Following the results of the HSNI report which suspects that Muhammad Al Fateh was abused, the authorities have detained Muhammad Al Fateh's adoptive parents, aged 30 and 34, to assist in police investigations. Bernama reported that they will be remanded until tomorrow, 13 July.  The police's initial investigations revealed that the couple has eight children but the victim is the couple's only adopted child.

3. The victim's adoptive siblings are also suspected to have taken part in the alleged abuse

Berita Harian reported yesterday that the police were in the midst of arresting the eldest child in the family, a 14-year-old teenager, to facilitate investigations. “The police are in the process of detaining the teenager following the alleged abuse of the boy under the care of his family."  "We also do not rule out the possibility of arresting some of the younger siblings who are believed to have also abused the poor boy," Batu Pahat OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Wahib Musa was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.

4. The boy was previously placed under the Welfare Department's protection, but he was later returned to the adoptive parents' care

It was learned that the Muhammad Al Fateh's fractured hand in a previous occasion had raised a red flag among medical staff, who alerted the authorities about the matter."The medical examination on the victim also found a crack mark on his right arm, causing him to be handed over to the Social Welfare Department for protection.""However, after some time, the child was handed back to the family," said Abdul Wahib in a statement on 10 July, as reported by Bernama.

5. The authorities are currently investigating the victim's cause of death

The police said yesterday, 11 July, that a postmortem would be conducted today, 12 July, to determine the cause of death. The case is being investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, which provides a maximum fine of RM20,000 or a jail term of up to 10 years, or both, upon conviction.

In other news, the MOH has revealed that the death of the abused tahfiz school pupil in April was not due to trauma or injury:

MasterChef UK Claims Judge Didn't Suggest That Chicken Rendang Should Have Crispy Skin

MasterChef UK has released a statement denying that judge Gregg Wallace suggested there should be crispy skin in Zaleha Kadir Olpin's chicken rendang dish

Wallace and fellow judge John Torode came under heavy fire and scrutiny on social media after their controversial comments on Zaleha's dish at the quarterfinals stage, which eventually diminished the Kuantan-born contestant's chances of progressing any further in the competition.

"Gregg wasn’t suggesting that the dish should traditionally have crispy skin"

A representative from the show told the Telegraph that Wallace's comment has been misunderstood and he didn't at any point suggested that Zaleha's chicken rendang should have crispy skin. "Gregg wasn’t suggesting that the dish should traditionally have crispy skin - he was saying that he couldn’t experience the flavours of the dish as it was presented.MasterChef has always celebrated international cuisine and on this occasion, our judges’ comments were relevant to the dish that had been cooked on the show," the statement reads.

MasterChef UK's response comes days after Zaleha’s chicken rendang was brought into the national spotlight, even drawing a response from Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Tun Dr Mahathir

The silver lining here – seeing two bitter political rivals on the same page. It's true that food unites us all.

Meanwhile, the judges have also come forward to personally explain the "crispy" comment:

It has taken me everything, mentally and physically, to finally come to the decision that I will be moving on with my life without Aliff, if I want it to improve in any way at all for my son. . I would sincerely appreciate it if the public would stop sending me dms, calling, and messaging me to further talk and speculate on this issue. I’ve given you a piece of my mind, all I ask is that you respect my decision and give me some space while I go through these trying times. .

Malaysia Wins A Seat On The UN Human Rights Council

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

Malaysia has won one of the 18 seats in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), with 183 votes for the 2022 to 2024 term, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said last night, 14 October

Taking to his official Facebook page to share the news, Ismail also said that Malaysia is "ready to play an active role — to be the facilitator for conciliation, [the] enabler for cooperation, and builder of consensus".According to the Prime Minister, Malaysia will work closely with UN member states to "advance the global human rights agenda", as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."As our nations lay the groundwork for a sustained and inclusive recovery post-COVID-19, human rights must be kept at the centre of all our efforts. In unity, for humanity," read his brief post.

Malaysia filed its submission in June this year, saying that if elected, the government will pledge to take a "whole-of-society" approach in the promotion and protection of human rights in the country

Image via @thevibesnews (Twitter)

Meanwhile, the UN in Malaysia has congratulated the government for winning the seat and for its progressive pledges and commitments

"We applaud the government's commitment under its theme of 'Unity for Humanity' to fulfil its obligations under core human rights instruments such as Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD)," UN in Malaysia said in an emailed statement."We also welcome Malaysia's pledge to mainstream human rights standards across policies and engage on other human rights treaties. The United Nations in Malaysia will continue to support Malaysia's efforts throughout the Universal Periodic Review process," it said, adding that it also welcomes Malaysia's commitment to raise human rights awareness among all stakeholders in a national effort to realise the right to development for all, protect and promote cultural rights, engage in climate action, and roll out the national action plan on business and human rights.


Looking Back At Our 4 Favourite Anthony Bourdain Moments In Malaysia

Yesterday, 8 June, millions around the world were left in shock when it was reported that popular chef and travel documentarian Anthony Bourdain died at the age of 61 by an apparent suicide

Image via Variety

According to CNN, Bourdain was in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning CNN series, 'Parts Unknown.'The network's president, Jeff Zucker, said in a statement that, "Tony will be greatly missed not only for his work but also for the passion with which he did it."

Through his award-winning food shows, Bourdain took viewers on his trips across the globe to explore diverse cultures and cuisines in every one of his destinations.
Malaysia was no exception.

Image via Eater

The renowned chef has made several visits to Malaysia throughout his career, exhibiting to the rest of the world some of his all-time favourite foods to eat, places to visit, and friends that he made along the way.

Here are some of our favourite instances of Anthony Bourdain in Malaysia:

1. Gushing over asam laksa in Penang

Image via Travel Channel

"Every time I come to Malaysia there's one thing I gotta have... laksa."In a 2012 episode of his travel show 'No Reservations', Bourdain raved about the local dish. In the episode's introduction, the documentarian said that he usually prefers not to speak directly to the camera as he feels it is "artificial and awkward." However, Bourdain explained that he had to make an exception at the Pasar Air Itam laksa stall on Jalan Pasar because he wanted to share the "joy".

Image via Pandora Voon/Creative Commons/Flickr

"If you like noodles and spicy stuff that comes in a bowl…you would really like this," Bourdain said, after taking his first bite of laksa."Wow I almost said yummy there. What the f**ck is happening to me?"

Laksa, according to Bourdain, is at "the absolute top" in the hierarchy of hot bowls of broth and noodles, and although he enjoyed Penang laksa, it was not Bourdain's personal favourite. He preferred Sarawak laksa, describing it as "breakfast of the Gods" when he was in Kuching in 2015.

    #Laksa #Kuching Breakfast of the Gods A post shared by  anthonybourdain (@anthonybourdain) on May 28, 2015 at 6:57pm PDT

"There is an incredibly delicious Penang version, with a tamarind and fish-based broth, chunks of mackerel and pineapple bobbing within—and while both styles have fervent adherents, the Kuching version is my favourite," Bourdain confessed.He even went so far as to include Sarawak laksa from Choon Hui Cafe in Kuching (the kopitiam he ate at in that Instagram post) as one of the dishes for a New York food market he was planning to open.Unfortunately, plans for the market were called off last December.

2. Returning to Aunty Aini's in Negeri Sembilan for chicken rendang

Image via Blogspot

In 2015, the storyteller made his way to Negeri Sembilan for the second time to film an episode of 'Parts Unknown' at Aunty Aini's Garden Cafe in Nilai.Bourdain described the actress turned chef Aini as "charming" and "fabulous", and her kampung style dishes as having been "prepared with a staggering finesse and precision."

Image via Aunty Aini's Garden Cafe/Facebook

"Who taught you to cook?" he asked while digging into the roast beef, poached egg, and chicken rendang laid out in front of him."When we were small, my grandmother would say stuff like, I don’t care who you are, if you can't cook you are nobody to me," Aini replied."There's no teaching Malay cooking here, it just comes from your grandma's kitchen, your mom's kitchen. You learn by smelling, by seeing, that's how I teach my children to cook."

3. Digging into a plate of char kuey teow in KL

Image via Youtube

"I love you, noodles!" In a 2015 episode of 'Parts Unknown', Bourdain's first order of business when arriving in Kuala Lumpur was to beat his jet lag with some of the Malaysian delicacies he craved for the most."I don't want to get all heavy and philosophical at this point, but why I'm here, what my mission is, what I expect to find — basically retracing my steps and all that — we'll talk about that later. But right now: noodles!"

Image via Youtube

"Look at that greasy, fatty... yes. Come to daddy," said Bourdain while admiring his plate of char kuey teow at W.A.W Restaurant in Jalan Alor."Reveal yourself to me, my love," he jokingly said to a piece of black pepper crab before eating it.

4. Getting a traditional Iban tattoo in Sarawak

Image via Explore Parts Unknown

"I was broken hearted and at a crossroads in my life when I first went up the Skrang River in Sarawak. The people I met there, ten years ago, who hosted me and my crew in their longhouse, who fed us and looked after us, treated me with great kindness. When the Chiefs invited me back for their yearly harvest festival, GAWAI, I said I would come," explained Bourdain.In the same 'Parts Unknown' episode, Bourdain decided to continue his tradition of signifying his trip to Sarawak with a tribal tattoo.

Image via Medium

"If you were wondering by the way, if this hurts — two guys hammering away at my sternum with a bamboo club and sharp needles — yes, yes it hurt, a lot. And you can be damn sure if I wasn't on television while it was happening, I'd be whimpering and yelping like a gut-shot poodle," he said, according to Eater.Despite the "ill advised" tattoo, Bourdain added that, "It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth - as remote and as different from where I grew up as any place could be. The people are lovely — and the food, as everywhere in Malaysia, incredible."

Image via Medium

Since the news of his death broke, netizens have taken to social media to express their appreciation towards Bourdain for showing millions around the world what Malaysia has to offer

anthony bourdain was an example to us for how to truly appreciate other cultures – it was never just abt food & travel. it meant so much to me to see malaysia & its indigenous cultures showcased when i’ve never seen it showcased on tv before, & he did it all w such love & respect— Corn Meal (@neichelle) June 8, 2018

Anthony Bourdain taught us not only to love food but to love people more. He treated a Michelin chef in Paris the same way he treated a chef in a wet market in Malaysia. He taught us not to consume culture, but to respect it. RIP— lindsay elizabeth (@lindsay_fuce) June 8, 2018

I loved watching Anthony Bourdain, especially when he visited Malaysia. It never felt like he exoticized or other-ed our cultures. He was there to learn from and revel in them, and it was so different from other western portrayals of home. I’m very grateful for that. RIP— Clarissa-Jan Lim (@clarissajanlim) June 8, 2018

High Court judge Muhammad Jamil Hussin allowed the application for the temporary release of Shafee's passport from today until 3 December

You Should Keep A Copy Of Your Polling Info After Checking The SPR Website

9 May is just one week away, which means that you should check your polling information now if you have yet to do so

Image via NST

It is extremely crucial for registered voters to check their information through a variety of channels provided by the Election Commission (EC), especially for those who have changed their home address. Furthermore, polling stations for some seasoned voters might differ this GE14, following the redelineation exercise that was passed by the Dewan Rakyat on 28 March.

The most convenient way to check your polling information is through the SPR website, or the ‘MySPR Semak’ app, which users can easily download from the Google Playstore or Apple App Store

Image via SAYS

Voters can also opt to check via SMS by sending "SPR SEMAK <IC NUMBER without dash>" to 15888. However, each SMS will cost you 20 sen excluding GST.Through these channels, registered voters can find out where their polling station for GE14 is. The voters will also have access to information on other key polling information including the channel (Saluran) and voter serial number (No Siri).

It is advisable to keep a copy of your voting information by taking a screenshot, or better yet, a printed copy for practical reasons

As election day draws nearer, it is possible that the EC website or app might take a longer time to load or even face downtime due to the influx of traffic from people trying to access the information at the very last minute.Don’t put yourself through the avoidable stress of trying to check your information when these channels are flooded with traffic.Keeping a copy of your voting information is a practical step to giving you some peace of mind, knowing that you have the record whenever you need it.

Image via SAYS

Having the necessary information at your fingertips on polling day also means you’re easing the process for those arriving later to vote.In the event of discrepancies or disputes, a registered voter can also immediately attach the hard copy as a supporting document if the need to lodge an official report arises.

While this bit of advice isn't on the SPR website, it'll definitely save you from voting jitters, memory lapses, and any other unforeseen emergencies.
You could even do it for your family members.

Meanwhile, the EC has denied that a dress code would be forced on voters for polling day:

                EC Confirms No Dress Code On Polling Day After Viral Messages Shared On Social Media

Viral messages on the alleged dress code has been widely shared on Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp recently.
