Dr Noor Hisham's Son Is 1 Of The 3 Perdana Fellows To Be Placed Under MOF

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham's son has been awarded the Perdana Fellowship under the Ministry of Finance (MOF)

In a Facebook post yesterday, 9 July, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Aziz announced that three youths will be joining his ministry under the Perdana Fellowship.Among them is Muhammad Khair Noor Hisham - Dr Noor Hisham's son - from Sheffield Hallam University, as well as Chow Shenn Kuan from Sunway University and Am Abdul Aziz from University of Nottingham Malaysia."Our youth are among the most important stakeholders in nation-building. They are the ones who will guide our future generations toward building a better Malaysia," said Tengku Zafrul."My warm welcome to three Perdana Fellows [...] to MOF. I hope that you will gain meaningful experiences during your time here."

The Perdana Fellowship was established by the Ministry of Youth and Sports in 2013

It was set up to provide young Malaysians the first-hand experience in matters of national governance, according to its official website."Under this programme, Perdana Fellows are placed under the purview of Ministers of various Ministries to assist in the highest form of governance," it said."Upon completion of the fellowship, fellows become a member of the Perdana Fellows Alumni Association (PFAA), which continues the culture of fostering a close network between youth leaders and government, corporate, and non-governmental organisation (NGO) leaders."

Image via Tengku Zafrul/Facebook

This year, 82 youths - comprising 58 graduates and 24 undergraduates - were chosen for the programme, reported Bernama.Four fellows were placed under Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's purview.

Meanwhile on Facebook, Malaysians flooded Tengku Zafrul's post after finding out Muhammad Khair is Dr Noor Hisham's son

Hundreds of netizens took the opportunity to congratulate Muhammad Khair and other participants for receiving the fellowship."Congratulations to these great young people. (Muhammad Khair) is as great as his dad Dr Noor Hisham. Your mum must be proud! Wishing you greater success in the future," commented a Facebook user.

Image via Facebook

"Good job! Looking at the youths' achievements gives us confidence in the future. It is not because he is the son of Dr Noor Hisham, but because he is a capable person. Congratulations!" said a person.

Image via Facebook

"Congratulations, young people. Continue to drive the development of Malaysia's economy with sifu Tengku Zafrul," added another netizen.

From Note 4 To Note Edge, Everything Samsung Announced At Its Unpacked 2014

1. Galaxy Note 4: It's running Android 4.4 KitKat and has a 5.7-inch AMOLED display with a 2,560 x 1,440 (Quad HD) resolution; that adds up to an incredibly sharp and colorful 518 ppi screen

Image via slashgear.com

At the pre-IFA event in Berlin, Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Note 4, a worthy successor to the company’s fabled phablet lineup and it takes the Note experience to a whole new level with new paradigms for multi-tasking and a better stylus. It’s the first Note phone to feature a QHD display and at 5.7 inches, the display is suitably large.  The pixel density goes from a stunning 386ppi to an astounding 515ppi.

        businessinsider.in

The display on the Note 4 is a Super AMOLED, and it’s covered by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3. It features curved sides to make swiping from the edge easier. The Galaxy Note 4 will obviously have a revamped S Pen stylus that offers better grip and more functions. It can be used to resize compatible apps to use two apps simultaneously.

        ndtv.com

S-Pen spruced up in a big way
Image via firstpost.com

The accompanying software has been spruced up for a clearner, dare-we-say Android L-like look. Snap Note turns photos of printed documents and text into editable text, like an OCR editor. In terms of processing speed, expect two powerful variants; one with Snapdragon 805 chipset, which brings LTE Cat 6 support and another with Samsung’s Exynos 5433 chipset and LTE Cat 4 connectivity. The Note 4 will run Android 4.4 KitKat at launch and with the proprietary interface on top. Connectivity options on the Note 4 are top-of-the-line too with Wi-Fi ac, GPS with Glonass, NFC, Bluetooth v 4.1 (BLE,ANT+), IR LED, USB 2.0, and MHL 3.0.

        firstpost.com

The cameras on the Note 4 have been enhanced too. The 16-megapixel back camera sports enhanced optical image stabilization or OIS, while the front-facing camera is a 3.7MP sensor with a fast f/1.9 aperture lens. Samsung will let users shoot 120-degree selfies thanks to a panorama-like Wide Selfie mode. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 boats three microphones for noise suppression and a special app that can silence selected audio sources from a recording, or can isolate background noise out of the recording.

        slashgear.com

In terms of design, the Note 4 will have a leather back cover (no clarity on whether this is actually plastic) along with a metal frame like the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. However, there’s no water-proofing or sealing in the body. There’s a 3,220mAh battery, which can supposedly be charged up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. Samsung will supply an optional Qi wireless charging panel, along with a host of covers and accessories sold separately.

        firstpost.com

2. Samsung Gear VR: Who knew all you needed to build cutting-edge VR was a huge phone? The Samsung Gear VR uses the Note 4 as its display and was built in concert with Oculus VR.

Image via staticworld.net

Samsung has unveiled its Gear VR virtual-reality headset during IFA 2014 at its Samsung Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 event. Sold separately (at a price yet to be announced this fall) will be the coolest phablet accessory in world history: the Gear VR. This is an Oculus Rift-style headset that works only with the Note 4. You insert the Note 4 into the facemask, and the phone automatically enters VR mode when you dock it into the headset.

        wired.com

The Gear VR itself is filled with various sensors, while the processor and the battery of the Galaxy Note 4 handle all the heavy lifting. After removing the visor, users can plug in their Galaxy Note 4 into the device and the 2k display will take over. Samsung is tapping Oculus to power the device, which uses Oculus’ VR store to give users access to content. The Gear VR will also be able to give users access to concerts, 360 degree tours of cities and locations, among other things.

        techcrunch.com

Image via wp.com

Oculus and Samsung worked diligently on this together, which gives Oculus further distribution in the market with the Oculus store and gives Samsung some credibility and established content hitting a brand new market for the first time. At launch, the Gear VR will come with some special content including a tour of Tony Stark’s Lab (as a part of a partnership with Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron). IMAX is also offering trailers and samples of films to watch in a virtual theater, as well as 360-degree live-action 3D VR for perormances like Cirque Du Soleil and Zarkana. Vevo is also offering access to more than 100,000 HD music videos, live concert events, etc.

        businessinsider.in

Samsung didn’t say much about the Gear VR headset, but, like the Galaxy Note Edge and the Note series as a whole, the company is all about leading the tech of the future. VR is an exciting option for big electronics companies, with Facebook buying Oculus, Google getting more deeply immersed in Glass, and now Samsung hopping in the boat. Time will tell how the category matures, but in the short term, you can look for the Gear VR in the fall. No pricing information has been released.

3. Gear S: A combination of Samsung's newest and best ideas, the Gear S is not designed to replace your smartphone. With its built-in connectivity, it's designed to let you leave it at home.

Image via vox-cdn.com

Samsung seems to debut a smartwatch once a month, and with September just getting under way, and Apple reportedly debuting the iWatch next week, it was just about time — see what I did there? — for the company to unveil a new one. And Samsung’s latest wrist-worn computer, the Gear S, might just be its coolest yet. Sporting its own 3G connection, the watch can be used independently of your smartphone, unlike the majority of smartwatches on the market.

        yahoo.com

Its built-in connectivity means that even when it’s far away from your phone it can still send and receive messages, and get turn-by-turn directions. The Gear S runs Tizen — Samsung says the Gear Store has 1,000 apps in it — and can do almost everything without a phone. The Gear Manager app still requires your phone, and you’re not exactly going to want to send emails on the tiny QWERTY keys on the Gear S, but this device generally has no need for your smartphone.

        theverge.com

Image via vox-cdn.com

The watch itself is impressively made, with a 2-inch curved OLED display that looks great from any angle. Waterproof, black or white, thick and heavy, it’s like a larger Gear Fit. A much larger Gear Fit. It’s designed to curl around your wrist, and it’s long enough that it does exactly that; it doesn’t feel like a watch so much as a cuff. It’s a computer on your wrist, and it feels like one. The big, thick bands that come with the device make it feel even larger, but thankfully the Gear S has swappable bands so you can slim it down a little.

        engadget.com

Its 1.0GHz processor is clearly up to the task of swiping through notifications, and even tapping out quick responses and tracking steps. It’s also remarkably more powerful than your average smartwatch, able to actually read entire emails and see all your workout and sleep information in one place. This is the rare smartwatch that’s truly independent, not always punting you back to your phone. Samsung offers a handful of nice-looking watchfaces, a heart-rate sensor, and a battery it claims will last two days.

        yahoo.com

Image via vox-cdn.com

And last but certainly not the least...

4. Galaxy Note Edge: The nameless prototype from CES 2013 is a reality. Meet Samsung's sloping, curved OLED phone called Galaxy Note Edge, a curved smartphone with a purpose.

Image via vox-cdn.com

The Note Edge is, on paper at least, only the slightest variation on the new Note 4. It has the same metallic design, a huge improvement on anything Samsung’s done before. It has the same soft-touch back, blissfully without the fake stitching. It has the same 16-megapixel camera, the same heart-rate monitor, the same processor, the same memory, the same software, the same new Multi Window feature, the same everything. It's an incredibly high-end, incredibly powerful phone. It even has a Quad HD, 2560 x 1440 display like the Note 4, though this one is slightly smaller at 5.6 inches rather than 5.7. But there's more to the Note Edge than its spec sheet.

        theverge.com

It’s on the right side of the phone’s front face that a sharp difference appears between the two models. The screen starts to slope downward, falling off toward the edge and wrapping around the side. It’s as if two screens have been connected to each other at an acute angle, but there’s only one display here. The asymmetry of the phone feels a little odd, like I chipped part of the right side off by accident, but it doesn’t really hurt the aesthetic appeal of the phone. It’s still very comfortable, the metal body both solid and dense, and I like the way the screen curls under my right thumb. (If you’re a lefty, using the Note Edge in one hand is going to be terrible — but then again using a Note in one hand is already terrible.)

        fastcompany.com

Image via vox-cdn.com

Samsung uses software to separate the two parts of the display, to allow them to be simultaneously independent and connected. The sloping screen’s default status is as a quick launcher of sorts, with easy access to a bunch of your most-used apps. There are a number of widgets, though, tickers of sorts that let you flip through news or tweets or information about how many steps you’ve taken. And you can do it all without ever changing or disturbing what you see on the larger display. In some apps, the edge acts as a toolbar, offering easy access to font menus or camera modes or in-app settings. At night, it can be your alarm clock, the time displayed on the side of the phone so you can see it without taking your head off your pillow.

        pcworld.com

It’s an odd idea, turning this vertical rail into essentially an always-on secondary display. Is it best-suited as a ticker? A notification center? A quick-launch taskbar? Samsung doesn’t seem entirely sure, and in a few minutes of using the Galaxy Note Edge it was clear that while well-implemented and useful the whole idea isn’t necessarily fully formed.

Pahang Toddler Hospitalised After Allegedly Consuming Fluid In Vape Device

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

Last Tuesday, 30 May, a two-year-old girl from Bera, Pahang was admitted to the hospital after she was believed to be suffering from acute nicotine poisoning

According to a statement from the Ministry of Health (MOH), the child's grandfather discovered a vape device on the floor next to his granddaughter who was coughing, vomiting, and having difficulty breathing."The girl is believed to have inhaled or consumed the liquid inside the electronic cigarette," said the ministry in the statement yesterday, 5 June.

The child was then moved to Sultan Haji Ahmad Hospital (HOSHAS) in Temerloh, Pahang because she needed respiratory assistance in the pediatric intensive care unit

According to the ministry, the toddler was diagnosed with "acute life threatening event secondary to possible alleged nicotine ingestion complicated with seizure".The ministry added that while the toddler has had two seizures during the course of her treatment, she is now stable and breathing without the aid of a ventilator.The child's urine test revealed a high level of nicotine and the vape device was sent to the laboratory for further examination.

MOH reminded the public that the use of smoking products, including electronic cigarettes, poses significant health risks

The statement explained that the use of tobacco or electronic cigarette liquid can cause acute effects such as heart palpitations, vomiting, and seizures."The long term effects of being exposed to high levels of nicotine can adversely affect brain growth, particularly in children," said the statement.

Meanwhile, netizens have flooded the ministry's Facebook post, requesting the government to enforce stricter rules on the usage of electronic cigarettes

"I hope this incident will make the relevant parties realise that it was a mistake removing nicotine from the Poisons Act 1952," said a Facebook user.Another user called for people to meet their respective members of parliament to work together and change the laws for the usage of nicotine and vape.

Image via Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (Facebook)

One user requested Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa to reinclude nicotine in the Poisons Act 1952 to ensure the safety of future generations."MOH needs to needs to take swift action to regulate the liquid or nicotine gel in vapes and electronic cigarettes. I wonder what is the concentration of nicotine is in those brands. This is what happens when there are no proper laws to regulate vape devices," wrote another user.

In March this year, the federal government exempted nicotine as a controlled substance under the Poisons Act 1952 in order to legalise and tax nicotine-laced products, such as vapes and e-cigarettes.

Last month, an 11-year-old was hospitalised after consuming cannabis-laced cookies baked by her father:

Have You Seen These "Baby" Durians? They're Almost Too Cute To Eat!

You've seen and possibly tasted the king of fruits, durian.
But have you seen them shrunk down to the side of… well, your palm?

Two special breeds of durians are the durian sukang (red durian) and durian dalit (orange durian), whose size can compare to that of a sepak takraw ball

They can be found in Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.

Another unique factor, apart from it's adorable miniature size, is their lipstick red (durian sukang) and bright orange-coloured (durian dalit) flesh

They are so small that they can be held in one hand.

While commercial durian flesh is thick and creamy, some have said that the flesh of these two types are thin and slightly bland (although, others have described it as having a sweetish sour taste)."It doesn't smell as stinky as the normal durians, like D24 or Musang King. And is not as pungent," said 25-year-old Sabahan, Rebecca."The one I ate had a very strong taste. Twice as strong as the usual durian," 28-year-old Darian shared when asked about his experience.

The durians are in season between October and December and are often sold for as little as RM2-3 each

Image via freelittlebrain

Due to its size, they are usually sold in piles, which vary from RM15 to over RM35 per kilo depending on the harvest and location. According to SabahEats, the durian can usually be found at Tamu (Sabah farmer's market), Kota Kinabalu Central Market, and Gaya Street Sunday Market.Whether you're a fan of durians or not, you gotta say, these particular guys are just too charming to resist!

Look closely, they look like sleeping babies in a pod.

Thai Football Team Found Alive After Being Stranded In Flooded Cave For 10 Days

On 23 June, a football team consisting of 12 boys and their football coach went into the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand after practice and did not return home that night

Image via Facebook

Local officials immediately started to look for the boys, aged between 11 and 16, and their 25-year-old coach after believing that they were trapped by heavy rain that cut them off from the main entrance of the 10km long cave, The Straits Times reported.

By 25 June, it was believed that the boys had retreated into the cave to an elevated air pocket called 'Pattaya Beach' as heavy rain resulted in rising flood waters

Image via AFP

During the week that followed, searches were conducted by Thai Navy Seal divers, a team of more than 30 American military personnel from the US Pacific Command, and three British diving experts.

Image via AFP

Meanwhile, relatives of the stranded football team kept a vigil outside the cave and set up makeshift shrines to pray and make offerings. According to Channel NewsAsia, Shamans and Buddhist monks also held prayers and implored "mountain spirits" to return the boys safely.

After a painstaking 10-day long search, all 13 people were found alive by two British divers yesterday, 2 July.
A video showed the emaciated group in mud-slicked football jerseys on a small cliff.

According to BBC, rescuers Rick Stanton and John Volanthen took several hours to reach the boys, who were about 400m farther along from Pattaya Beach.In a Facebook video posted by Thai Navy SEAL special forces, one boy can be heard saying "13!" when one of the divers asked how many of them there were. "Brilliant!" he replied."Many, many people are coming... we are the first," the diver told them."You have been here for 10 days, you are very strong," one of the divers can be heard telling the group.

Image via AFP

According to Channel NewsAsia, governor of the Chiang Rai Province Narongsak Osottanakorn explained that the group will not be returning home soon, as rescuers have to devise a plan to get the group out of the cave in their weakened state. Once this phase is successfully carried out, a medical team will immediately treat the boys, who have reportedly sustained light injuries."We will prepare to send additional food to be sustained for at least four months and train all 13 to dive while continuing to drain the water," said Navy Captain Anand Surawan.

Family members and reporters camped outside the cave erupted into thunderous applause when told the good news

Image via AFP

"I'm so glad... I want to him to be physically and mentally fit," said Tinnakorn Boonpiem, mother of one of the boys,12-year-old Mongkol.

"I found out from the television... I'm so happy I can't put it into words," said a relative of another one of the boys, Channel NewsAsia reported.

Here's What You Should Do In The Unlikely Event Of An Earthquake In Malaysia

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

Generally, earthquakes are not a current concern in Malaysia, but it has come to light that there are many Malaysians who do not know how to react when a tremor occurs

On 25 February, a strong 6.2 magnitude quake struck Indonesia's Sumatra at 9.39am, which also sent tremors to parts of Peninsular Malaysia.Many who felt the shaking were seen rushing outside of their office buildings or were asked to temporarily vacate the premises.

Peninsular Malaysia has often felt earthquakes from Sumatra. Although the effect is small, it is still of concern, especially to vulnerable high-rise buildings, according to a publication by Academy of Sciences Malaysia.So what are the proper actions we should take in order to reduce the risk of death or injury?

Here's what you should do DURING an earthquake:

If you are inside a building:

Stay calm and stay indoors.- Drop, cover, and hold on. This means taking cover under a sturdy table or bench, or bracing yourself in a doorway or corner.- Stay away from windows, bookshelves, cabinets, heavy mirrors, hanging flower pots, and other heavy objects that can slide and fall.- Grab anything that can protect your head from falling debris and glass shards like a coat, blanket, books, newspapers, cardboard boxes, etc.- Do not rush out of the building.If you are in a high-rise building, you should also:- Stay inside the building and remain on the same floor.- If you are not near a desk or table, move against an interior wall and protect your head with your arms.

"Drop, cover, and hold on" rule demonstrated here.

If you happen to be outdoors:

- Find a clear spot away from power lines, electric poles, trees, tall buildings, walls, and lamp posts.- Drop to the ground and stay there until the shaking stops.- Beware of falling building debris such as power lines, street lights, trees, etc.If you are on a sidewalk near buildings, duck into a doorway to protect yourself from falling bricks, glass, plaster, and other debris.

Stay away from poles or streetlights and instead find a clear open space if you are outdoors when an earthquake or aftershock of one occurs.
Image via Inforoadblock (Facebook)

If you are inside a crowded store or other public place:

- Do not rush for the exits. Many others could have the same idea, which could lead to accidents.- Remember to drop to the ground until the shaking stops.- Move away from display shelves containing objects that could fall.

Getting next to a shopping cart, beneath clothing racks, or within the first level of warehouse racks may provide extra protection.
Image via FEMA

If you are in a moving vehicle:

- Pull over to a clear location and stop the car as soon as possible when a safe area has been determined.- Turn off your car and use the parking brake, then stay there.- Do not stop on or under bridges, elevated roads, overpasses, cable resistance, or where buildings are prone to collapse.- Stay in the car with seatbelt fastened until the shaking stops.- Do not attempt to get out of your car if there are downed power lines on the road. Wait for assistance.

Image via Los Angeles Magazine

If you are in bed:

- Stay there, roll onto your stomach, and protect your head with a pillow. You are less likely to injure yourself that way.- If you are under a heavy light fixture that could fall, move to the nearest safe place.- Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to you and if you know it is a strongly supported, load-bearing doorway.- A strong piece of furniture or a bathtub can provide the void space that lets you survive a collapsing building until rescuers find you.- Move away from heavy appliances that could topple like refrigerators, stoves, and overhead cupboards.

Image via @ShakeOut (Twitter)

If you are in a mountainous or coastal area:

Be alert for falling rocks and other debris. Landslides are often triggered by earthquakes.If you are near the coastline, be aware of possible tsunami warnings. Earthquakes that last for more than 20 seconds are commonly followed by a tsunami. Move to higher ground as soon as possible.

Image via AGU Blogosphere

Here's what you should do AFTER an earthquake:

- Check yourself and others for injuries. Provide first aid for anyone who needs it.- Check water, gas, and electric lines for damage. If any are damaged, shut off the valves. Check for the smell of gas. If you smell it, open all the windows and doors, leave immediately, and report it to the authorities.- Turn on the radio. Don't use the phone unless it's an emergency to avoid clogging up the emergency hotlines.- Stay out of damaged buildings.- Be careful around broken glass and debris. Wear boots or sturdy shoes to keep from cutting your feet.- If you're at school or work, follow the emergency plan or the instructions of the person in charge.- Expect aftershocks. Remember to drop, cover, and hold until the shaking stops.Here are some useful emergency hotlines to save on your phone:Police / Ambulance: 999Fire and Rescue Department: 994Civil Defence: 991You can find more information about earthquake preparedness on the Malaysian Meteorological Department's (MetMalaysia) website.

How Do You Become A Gym Leader In Pokémon GO?

Pokémon GO is FINALLY here! Although the augmented reality game has only been out for a few days, Malaysians are already doing what they can to be the very best.

Image via Buro247

Aside from Malaysia, the game is also now available in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Federated States of Micronesia and Pala

In the game, trainers who've reached Level 5 will have the opportunity to challenge rival Gyms or train at one of your team's Gyms

Image via Game Zebo

Gyms are in-game locations that are typically tied to major real-world areas where you can battle other trainers. If a Gym is held by your faction, you can select a single Pokémon and train with other members of your team, raising the amount of prestige points associated with the Gym.The higher the Prestige, the more Pokémons can be stationed at the gym, which in turn grants higher daily bonuses of stardust and Pokécoins that can be earned.Gyms held by a rival faction, however, need to be battled for. If you and your fellow members defeat the Pokémon stationed there, you can lower the Gym’s Prestige and eventually return it to a neutral level and it can be claimed.

        theverge.com

Based on the Gym’s Prestige level, a number of trainers can assign their Pokémon to protect the Gym

Image via Phandroid

One of those trainers is the Gym Leader a.k.a the 'Boss'. The Gym Leader's level is marked by a crown and has the highest level Combat Power (CP) Pokémon at the Gym.

So, how do you become a Gym leader? Can you only do it with strong Pokémons?

Image via Allure Media

As mentioned above, to overtake a Gym, you would first need to deplete its Prestige level. The next step would be to find a Gym that's appropriate for your collection of Pokémons. It wouldn't make sense for you to bring a 110 CP Golbat to a battle with 689 CP Vaporeon, right? That would be... suicide. It's best that you scout around and find one that you could feasibly defeat.Another thing to take note is the gym's level. Levels simply indicate the number of Pokémons you need to defeat in one particular Gym. For example. if a Gym is level 1, you would only have to defeat one Pokémon and potentially take over the Gym.

But if you think your Pokémons are not up to par yet, head to the nearest friendly gym to practice!

Image via Telegraph

Train up your Pokémon first by going to a gym that your team already owns and competing in friendly battles. You’ll learn the ins and outs of battling and get something from it (XP for leveling up). Awesome!As a bonus, your team gets Prestige points from your battle, which is how Gyms become stronger!

After defeating the number of trainers in a rival Gym, your victory will help whittle down the Gym's Prestige points. You can only win over a Gym when enough victories have been claimed to get the rival team's Prestige down to zero.

Image via Digital Times

Once that team is kicked out, the Gym turns grey and you'll be able to claim the Gym as your own. Congratulations! If you claim it first, you get to be the Gym Leader. You will maintain your new Gym Leader status as long as your Pokemon has the highest CP in the Gym.

How does battling work in Pokémon GO?

Image via Tech Crunch

The essence of Pokémon battles  is to make the opponent faint, by attacking it until its health reaches zero.Unlike previous Pokémon games, Pokémon GO it's more of a free-for-all - with the ability to dodge attacks by swiping on the screen to attack and dodge. Battles are one-on-one only and you can only heal damage after the fighting is over.

And there you have it, a crash course on the basics of overtaking a rival gym! Have fun, stay safe and strive to be the very best, guys! :D

Image via Giphy

What were the difficulties you've faced when trying to overtake a Gym? Let us know in the comments below!

Pokémon GO is really fun but please don't play and drive ok?

Because we're noseblind!

Image via Pride

Yes, noseblind! And that happens when we're exposed to a certain scent for an extended period of time, making us desensitised to these whiffs.

Image via SAYS

Pamela Dalton, a cognitive psychologist at Monell Chemical Senses Center, explains, "When you first smell an odour, your scent receptors send a signal to your brain’s limbic system, which determines how you will process and feel about that particular scent." But Dalton says the receptors in your nose essentially turn off after around two breaths, and the scent—no matter how strong initially—starts to fade.

        yahoo.com

Yep, that's right. It's an actual 'phenomenon'. Just because you can no longer smell them, doesn't mean guests who come over won't.

[VIDEO] Watch What Happens When A Woman Abuses A Man

DareLondon set up a hidden camera experiment to see how strangers would react to seeing domestic abuse for ManKind’s #ViolenceIsViolence campaign

Image via youtube.com

A couple (portrayed by actors) in a park in London get into a heated argument and things begin to get out of hand. The man begins to physically abuse his "girlfriend."

Image via YouTube.com

As things escalates, onlookers immediately notice and take action. One woman even walks up to the guy yelling, "What is wrong with you?"

Image via YouTube.com

More women gather around, and even threaten to call the police. Even few men intervenes.

Image via YouTube.com

So far so right. Then the situation changes. The actors recreate the same scenario, except this time the woman is abusing the man.

Image via YouTube.com

And this time, bystanders react a little differently…

Image via YouTube.com

No one even attempts to help the guy, and seems more entertained than anything

As the woman keeps abusing the man, the video reveals a rather surprising statistic:

Here's how these popular skincare ingredients benefit your skin:

1. Prebiotics feeds the friendly bacteria on your skin

Image via @jcomp (Freepik)

Prebiotics help promote a healthy gut by feeding the good bacteria (a.k.a. probiotics) in your digestive system, which is why you'll usually hear about it when people discuss dietary intake and the type of foods you can eat.But did you know that prebiotics can also be found in skincare and provide similar benefits for your skin? Just like the moisturiser from Aiken, which is made with natural prebiotics from France.  It helps to enhance your skin's natural defence system, which in turn works to strengthen the outermost layer of your skin, also known as your skin barrier. Prebiotics in your skincare products also helps to improve skin smoothness and add a natural radiance to your face.

2. Niacinamide improves hydration and helps you achieve a healthy glow

Image via @wayhomestudio (Freepik)

If you're into skincare, you've probably heard about niacinamide being a superstar ingredient.Also known as vitamin B3, beauty-conscious folks tend to gravitate towards products that contain niacinamide due to its brightening, skin-barrier repairing, and anti-inflammatory properties, among other benefits. In other words, niacinamide helps your skin to look its best. Plus, it's gentle enough to use if you experience sensitivity on your face too. :D

3. Rice water is packed with antioxidants for overall healthy skin

The Prebiotic Moisturiser from Aiken also features Korean rice water. Rice water is rich in amino acids and minerals, which helps you to achieve softer, healthier skin.  Popular in K-beauty, you've probably heard of this traditional skincare ingredient that Koreans and the world over have come to love.

Malaysian Dies Fighting For His Life In Hospital After Spending 12 Days In Police Lock-Up

Recently, a 40-year-old man succumbed to his injuries after fighting for his life since 8 March in Selayang Hospital's intensive care unit (ICU)

The victim, A Ganapathy, had spent 12 days in police custody from 24 February to 8 March before he was admitted to the hospital, according to a report in Malaysiakini yesterday, 20 April.He was detained to assist with investigations into his sibling's alleged crimes.It is reported that the court allowed a 13-day remand order on Ganapathy to help investigate cases involving a mattress warehouse robbery, hijacking vehicles, fighting, and wrongful confinement.He was supposed to be detained until 9 March, but Ganapathy's father said his son was cleared of any wrongdoing a day earlier after being sent to the ICU for treatment.

The deceased's 60-year-old mother, S Thanaletchumy, said her son was healthy before his arrest, but had a history of diabetes and heart problems

Their family lawyer K Ganesh said that during Ganapathy's detention, he was "taken to Selayang Hospital four times to receive treatment at the request of the suspect on 28 February, 3 March, 6 March, and 7 March".Ganapathy's father said his son's leg had to be amputated on 11 March while in the ICU. The doctors found that Ganapathy had kidney problems.Additionally, Thanaletchumy claimed that her son told her that the police had beaten him with a rubber hose, reported the news portal.His family claimed Ganapathy's health deteriorated because of his stint in police custody, resulting in his leg being swollen and bruised as though he had been beaten.The deceased's sister also claimed that she was barred from seeing her brother when she brought his medicine to the police station.

Following Ganapathy's passing, the family lawyer demanded the district police chief resign over the matter

"The family members of Ganapathy are shattered," said Ganesh.

			They cannot understand what was his crime that he had to be remanded for two weeks.
        Ganesh

He added that the case should be investigated under murder or manslaughter, while questioning why no one has been arrested over Ganapathy's beatings to this day.Gombak district police chief ACP Arifai Tarawe had in March said the police launched an investigation into Ganapathy's alleged beatings by the police following Thanaletchumy's complaint.Speaking to Malaysiakini yesterday, Arifai revealed that the police are waiting for Ganapathy's autopsy report.

Meanwhile, a non-governmental organisation fighting to eliminate deaths and abuse in police custody is urging the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to hold an inquest into Ganapathy's death

According to Free Malaysia Today, the Eliminating Deaths and Abuse in Custody Together (EDICT)  said the AGC is empowered to do so under Section 339 of the Criminal Procedure Code.EDICT said the inquiry could help determine the cause of Ganapathy's death and identify the perpetrators.It added that there are too many unanswered questions surrounding the case."What happened during the detention period and did the police take reasonable action to ensure that the detainee received proper treatment?" EDICT said."Is there a gap in the action of the police after finding that the detainee was injured?" The NGO also pleaded with the police to stop brutality in custody.

Malaysian-Indians dying in lock-ups is not uncommon in this country. According to Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram), nearly 55% of police custodial death victims are Malaysian-Indians.However, official figures only show that 23.4% of police custodial deaths are Malaysian-Indians.

Late last year, police were accused of abusing the remand process to keep 29 Malaysian-Indians detained:

According to PDRM, the men are part of an illegal mafia society, whose members are active in committing serious crime...

Beware, This Tax Refund Email Isn't From LHDN

This scam email is being circulated on social media including WhatsApp claiming that it's from Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri

Image via Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia

The LHDN Malaysia's official page earlier posted on Facebook about the scam email, warning Malaysian taxpayers to not fall prey

"Please note that the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia has denied issuing a refund from the email "[email protected]". All taxpayers are asked to be careful and not fall prey to the latest scam techniques," read the post in BM.In case of any query, you call 1-800-88-5436 (toll free).

The latest scam email circulating on the web, however, is not new. The same financial scam, with slight variations in its copy, has been doing the rounds since 2010, possibly fooling unsuspecting people.

You should never use the emergency lane just to bypass someone or skip the traffic. It's a lane reserved for the ambulance, police, and firefighters when they're responding to an emergency situation. Earlier this year, it's reported that some road accident deaths were caused by drivers who hog the emergency lane. Remember to give way to the ambulance, police, and firefighters. Don't drive on the emergency lane.
