Khairy Tells UMNO's Lokman He Has The "IQ Of A Carrot" And Twitter Went Wild

Lately, the Malaysian Twittersphere has been blessed with Khairy's unabashed attitude and vocal rebukes of his own party members

Just yesterday, the Rembau MP refuted Najib's claims that BN lost GE14 because of "fraud, defamation and false promises made by Pakatan Harapan."In his somewhat of a newfound honesty following GE14, Khairy simply tweeted:

We lost because of 1MDB. The end. https://t.co/hxKREJEZdT— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) November 3, 2018

The response from Khairy riled up Lokman Noor Adam, a diehard Najib supporter.Lokman, who is a member of the UMNO Supreme Council, then called Khairy "stupid" and accused him of being vain and narcissistic.

What to do, at that time @NajibRazak had a stupid youth chief that never make any attempt to study about 1MDB and explain it to the public. He only knows how to choose the right colours of his socks— Dato' Lokman Adam (@LokmanAdam) November 3, 2018

Lokman then engaged with a tweet Khairy had posted back in August, addressing Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng on GST vs SST

With this kind of finger pointing attitude, dont ever dream that you can ever become the President of UMNO— Dato' Lokman Adam (@LokmanAdam) November 3, 2018

It's unclear as to why Lokman decided to reply to a tweet that's over three months old.

Not the one to be pushed into a corner, Khairy took Lokman to the task, saying he would sack him for "having the IQ of a carrot"

You better pray I don’t become President of UMNO. First thing I’ll do is sack you for having the IQ of a carrot.— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) November 4, 2018

It was at this moment, Twitter went wild

 pic.twitter.com/QBbe29FAze— The Mamu™ (@The_Mamu) November 4, 2018

They joked at Lokman's expense:

And thus Lobakman Adam was born..— aman (@play3r_two) November 4, 2018

Lobakman, lobakman. Do whatever lobakman can.... — ElliotAlderson (@zairulzainuddin) November 4, 2018

Reacted using gifs, laughing at Lokman:

Asia's Got Talent Judges Were Seriously Impressed By This Malaysian "Human Calculator"

On a recent episode of Asia's Got Talent, a 15-year-old mathematician from Kuala Lumpur showed off his ability to do mathematics faster than a calculator

The video of Yaashwin Sarawanan's appearance on the talent show, which was uploaded on YouTube, garnered nearly 2 million views at the time of writing.

Image via YouTube

Dressed in a smart suit, the SMK Bandar Tun Hussein Onn student introduced himself as a "human calculator"

"I want to prove that Maths is actually a very fun and easy thing to do," said Yaashwin.His act, which he described as "speed mental calculation", required judge David Foster to assist him by doing additions and multiplications using a calculator while he did it in his head.

Image via YouTube

After breezing through the first two rounds, answering faster than Foster did with a calculator, the 15-year-old increased the level of difficulty

"Lets try division. Give me a three digit divided by a one digit, and try using odd numbers so you get decimal points at the back," said the young mathematician.After Foster declared that the equation would be "589 divided by 7", the judge told Yaashwin to say his answer in unison with him.

Image via YouTube

The crowd erupted in applause after Yaashwin says the correct answer, 84.14285714285, aloud together with Foster."That's just division!" he said.

Image via YouTube

For his final trick, the 15-year-old repeatedly added a random number by itself while Foster continuously pressed the equals key on the calculator

Image via YouTube

With the number 74 suggested by judge Anggun, Yaashwin effortlessly answers faster than Foster could key in the numbers."148, 222, 296, 370, 444, 518, 592, 666, 740, 814, 888, 962, 1036, 1110, 1184, 1258, 1332, 1406," he said, before Anggun joked that he was going too fast.He continued to do the additions until Foster gave up.

Image via YouTube

"It was astounding. You are a human calculator, there's no doubt about it," said Foster.

Image via YouTube

"It was certainly fun to watch you beat the calculator," said Anggun, while fellow judge Jay Park told him that, "I don't like math, so what you do is very impressive".All three judges voted yes, allowing the teenager to proceed to the next round and stand a chance to win the grand prize of USD100,000 (RM 408,808).

Image via YouTube

Yaashwin can be seen hugging a family member after walking off stage.

Impressed by his talent, netizens praised the young mathematician on the comments section of the YouTube post

Several YouTube users joked that his upcoming Mathematics examinations will be no problem for the teenager.

'Datuk' Beats Up Couple For Asking Him To Lower His Voice In A Steamboat Restaurant

Videos showing a 'Datuk' assaulting a couple in a steamboat restaurant in Petaling Jaya, Selangor are going viral on Facebook

In a 51-second long video, a middle-aged man — known to his friends as a 'Datuk' — can be seen hitting a young man, while people around him tried to hold him back.While being restrained, the 'Datuk' continues shouting at the young man and pointing his finger at him.If that is not enough, before his friends can drag him out of the restaurant, he slaps a woman who is watching by the side. The woman is said to be the young man's girlfriend.Seeing that his girlfriend has been assaulted, the young man confronts the 'Datuk' again, but this time, a man with long hair approaches him and swings a right hook at him in an attempt to intimidate him.Employees at the restaurant can only stand aside to watch, while a few male customers can be seen trying to stop the altercation and filming the incident.

Image via Shinseki Mo (Facebook)

According to the caption of the video, the incident began when the couple politely asked the 'Datuk' and his friends to lower down their voice in the restaurant

The 'Datuk' and his friends were said to be drunk and were treating the waiters rudely on the night of the incident, which allegedly occurred on 12 January."Something unpleasant happened when my friend was about to finish eating," read the post written by a netizen who was not at the scene. They shared the incident on their friend's behalf."A young couple kindly asked the group to speak softly so that it would not affect other customers.""One of them was a Datuk (the shortest person) and he was upset by it. He went out to make a phone call. As a result, two people in black clothes came. One of them was tall and had long hair.""They came in and asked the waiters who told their friend not to speak loudly earlier. In the end, don't know what happened, but the long-haired man knew it was the young couple who made the complaint."Following that, the Datuk and the long-haired man started attacking the young man."My friend said the hardest thing to swallow in the incident was that when the guy — who called himself 'Datuk' — was about to go out, he saw the boy's girlfriend, he went forward and slapped her viciously. I was also angry when I saw the video."

			What the h*ll is this Datuk! A woman also want to hit!

The person who posted the video urged netizens to share the video in order to find the assailants.At the time of writing, the video has gone viral with over 9,200 shares.

The couple has since lodged a police report against the assailants

The restaurant is said to be located in Tropicana Avenue, reported China Press. Petaling Jaya district police chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal Nordin confirmed to the Chinese daily that they have received the couple's police report, but revealed that they have yet to make any arrests as they are trying to identify the men involved in the incident.The case is currently being investigated under Article 323 and Article 506 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation.If convicted, the suspects could face imprisonment of up to one and seven years for each offence respectively.

Still At The Discussion Stage, The Proposed National Harmony Act Would Replace The Sedition Act 1948

However, she said, the implementation of the proposed National Harmony Act that would replace the Sedition Act 1948 was still at the discussion stage and needed more time for study.

In July 2010, Prime Minister Najib Announced That The Sedition Act 1948 Would Be Repealed Under The Government Transformation Programme

In July 2010, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak announced that the government would repeal the Sedition Act 1948 and replace it with the National Harmony Act, under the Government’s Transformation Plan.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

He said the new Act will safeguard the right to freedom of speech while protecting national unity by preventing incitement of religious or ethnic hatred.

The Decision To Repeal The Sedition Act Was To Find A Mechanism To Determine The Balance Between Guaranteeing Freedom Of Speech And Handling The Complex Nature Of A Multi-Racial Society

Still At The Discussion Stage, The Proposed National Harmony Act Would Replace The Sedition Act 1948
Image via therakyatpost.com

Najib said the decision to replace the Sedition Act was made to find a mechanism to determine the best balance between ensuring every citizen's freedom of expression, and the need to handle the complex nature of the country's multi-racial and multi-religious society.

        thestar.com.my

Najib said that the absence of an ideal balance could suppress the freedom of speech which was guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, hinder one's creativity and innovativeness or promote the spirit of chauvinism and extremism.

        nst.com.my

"With this new act we would be better equipped to manage our national fault lines. It will also help to strengthen national cohesion by protecting national unity and nurturing religious harmony," he said.

        nst.com.my

The National Harmony Act Would Be More Specific In Nature And Would Enable The Government To Act Against Anyone Using Sensitive Issues To Break Up National Solidarity

"The provisions proposed in the National Harmony Act will stress on inculcating the spirit of harmony and mutual respect in the Malaysian society made up of various races and religions," he said. He said the new bill would be more specific in nature and would enable the government to act against anyone using sensitive issues to break up national solidarity.

        nst.com.my

The Prime Minister said the government would ensure that the provisions of the new act would not hinder the power to tackle acts that could cause hatred and humiliation or stoke the feelings of disloyalty to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong or any Ruler.

A Mum Was "Forced" To Feed Her Son Because He Refused To Stop Playing Games For 48 Hours

Disturbing footage showed a concerned mother recently feeding her teenage son because he refused to take a break during a 48-hour marathon gaming session

37-year-old Lilybeth Marvel was seen coaxing 13-year-old Carlito Garcia to eat, while his zombie-like eyes were glued to a computer screen playing games at an Internet cafe in Nueva Ecija, Philippines.

Image via Viral Press

"My poor child… Here, eat now," she said in Tagalog translated by the Daily Mail. "You have so much money, it might take till tomorrow for you to get home. Are you still needing to pee? My goodness just feel sorry for my child. You are so irritating."She even asked the boy if he would like to take vitamins his grandmother sent him because she was worried that he would be malnourished.

The boy's chronic gaming addiction has become so severe the past few years that his parents decided to remove him from school

For the past two years, Lilybeth said that she has been worried because her son started to stay back late at the Internet cafe to play a battle royale game called 'Rules of Survival'.

Image via Viral Press

"My husband and I decided that he should stop schooling first because of his addiction. Now we're trying our best to manage the situation but it is still difficult."Concerned for her son's well-being, Lilybeth has now pleaded online for help, Daily Mail reported.

The distraught mother revealed that her previous methods to make him quit his addiction have failed

"I used to nag about his online games. But that didn't work. So I'm trying a different approach," she said. "I try to make him feel that whatever is happening in his life, I am his mother who loves him and takes care of him," she said, according to HopClear.

The video clip has since gone viral garnering over 158,000 views since its posting yesterday, 21 February.

PDRM Explains Why Police Escorting Luxury Cars In Kelantan Overtook On Double Line

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

A motorist was almost involved in an accident after police escorts overtook traffic by crossing the double line in Jalan Gua Musang-Kota Bharu, according to the dashcam footage of the incident

The 11-second video was shared in a Facebook group, showing the motorist driving on a small stretch of the road on Jalan Gua Musang-Kota Bharu when police escort cars suddenly appeared, driving towards the motorist in the same lane.The owner of the video had to immediately swerve his car to the side of the road for the convoy that was escorting two tow trucks carrying luxury cars.The Facebook user asked members of the public who would be in the wrong if they were involved in an accident.

Following the viral video, Kelantan acting police chief Datuk Zaki Harun said that the vehicles on the road were already warned through sirens and emergency lights

He added that road users have to cooperate with police escort cars by giving them way to pass or slowing down to avoid any unfortunate incidents from happening.During a press conference at the Kelantan police contingent headquarters on Wednesday, 27 July, Zaki addressed the confusion among members of the public. "Escort vehicles have rules and they cannot stop arbitrarily because they have given sirens and warnings to road users," he was reported as saying by Sinar Harian.Moreover, he added that it is the responsibility of a police escort vehicle to carry out their duty on public roads according to Section 21 of the Police Act 1967.

Image via DashCam Owners Malaysia (Facebook)

The video drew many angry responses from netizens who criticised police escort vehicles for allegedly endangering the lives of road users

A netizen commented that when police escorts show their authority on the road by doing things their way for the sake of reaching their destination earlier, it shows that the safety of other road users is not important to them.

Image via Facebook

Another Facebook user said, "The escort is in the wrong, there is already a double line. You know it is wrong but you still continue to do it!!! What is the use of enforcement. The person is still in the wrong, Royal Police Malaysia (PDRM) please take action."

Image via Facebook

"They are the law. You don't need to challenge them (because) you won't win. Acts that do not exist will eventually come a law," another said.

Woman Angry After MBMB Officers Catch & Take Away Stray Dog She Wanted To Rescue

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

An animal lover in Melaka has made a police report against a few Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) officers for cruelly capturing a dog she wanted to rescue

On Tuesday morning, 27 April, Shakina Nath shared she was on her way to town when she came across some MBMB officers catching and dragging a stray dog into an orange van in Taman Bukit Cheng.Shakina said always she felt sorry for the dogs that the MBMB capture as the dogs usually get thrown into a pound to be put down.As an active member of a local welfare association, Shakina said she, instead, rescues stray dogs off the streets, treats them, and puts them up for adoption to loving families."I knew I couldn't do anything about the brown dog at that point, so I continued driving. But that's when I saw a stray white dog further down the road and decided to save it before the officers got to it," she shared.

She parked her car and quickly called the white dog to her side before the MBMB officers arrived

As she was squatting on the ground trying to calm it down, the 22-year-old said one of the officers came over and asked if the dog belonged to her."I replied no, but I told him that I always help dogs like these," she said, explaining to the man that she will be bringing the dog home.However, the officer ignored that and asked her once more if it belonged to her. When she answered no again, Shakina claimed the officer asked her for money in exchange for leaving the dog alone."He asked me for RM250. I asked for a receipt because I wanted to confirm if it was a bribe or an actual official fee, and he told me, 'These things don't need receipts'," she recounted.When Shakina declined and told him that she was going to bring the dog home, the man then jeered at her and asked her to watch as his team took a net and captured the dog anyway.

Angered, Shakina took out her phone to record the cruel capture of the white dog and was immediately told off by the MBMB officers

"One of the men took a picture of me and my car, so why can't I take a video of them? Because they knew it was wrong, right?" she questioned."Animal cruelty and bribery. I told them that I would make this five-second video go viral but an officer challenged me back and said, 'Go ahead, I want to see what you can do'."After the incident, Shakina said she immediately went to make a police report against the officers for the poor handling of animals as well as for trying to solicit a bribe from her.She hopes that MBMB and the court will take action against them.

Netizens have come to Shakina's support, condemning the city council officers for ignoring her request to save the dog and for their cruel methods

"They will actually put injection (slow poison) for the dog if no one claims the dog within one week. They also caught my dog this way, but by using the chain," said an Instagram user.

Another said, "I hope you're okay. This disgusting nonsense has got to stop. I don't know what they get out of trapping dogs like that but there's always a better and more humane way to do it."

Meanwhile, a netizen commented, "Finally! Someone made a police report about how dirty MBMB and [MPHTJ] is. Someone I know wanted to bring out a dog out of [MPHTJ] dog pound, but the head always asked for kopi duit (sic).""Have no choice or other way to get the dogs out in Melaka because 'no dogs allowed in terrace housing'."

TikToker Eats RM3,000 River Fish From Sarawak & Malaysians Have Mixed Feelings About It

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

When most people think of 'expensive foods', multiple options come to mind; wagyu beef, oysters, caviar, white truffle, and even certain types of crustaceans.
However, would you ever spend thousands of ringgit on fish?

Singaporean content creator and TikToker Kerryn Lee recently made a trip to Malaysia, where she documented her adventures relating to travel and food. However, a recent TikTok from her trip has been making waves on the Internet for a rather astounding reason. In the 26-second clip posted to her account on 16 February, Lee shared an experience of having a SGD1,000 (approximately RM3,300) fish dish at a restaurant in Sibu, Sarawak."This is Empurau fish. In Chinese, we call it wang bu liao. I had it during my trip to Sibu, Sarawak. This fish is expensive because it's very hard to get, it comes from the upstream of Rajang River in Sibu," she said in the video.According to Lee, this species of fish is known for eating fruit that drops into the river. Giving her take on how it tasted, Lee stated that the meat was really tender.

Towards the end of the feature, Lee explained that since the fish is so expensive, customers usually deep-fry the scales and turn it into another dish."Do you think this SGD1,000 fish is worth trying?" Lee said when closing out the TikTok.

Stunned by the price of the dish, many users expressed their take on whether they felt the expensive fish was tasty or not — some having tried the fish themselves, too

A fair bunch of the commenters mentioned that no matter how good it tasted, no fish is worth RM3,000."At this price, there are better options than having this river fish," wrote one user, while another said, "Not worth it, fish is fish."

Image via @kerrynlee (TikTok)

However, a number of people who tried the Empurau fish in the past said it was indeed worth the price."It's worth it! Not even Sarawakians themselves get the opportunity to try this Empurau fish. You are very lucky," wrote one person.

Multiple people even went as far as to say what other types of luxury foods Lee could buy with RM3,000 instead, including salmon, bluefin tuna, abalone, and lobster."With SGD1,000, I better buy king crab," penned one user.

Nevertheless, Lee's experience didn't stop certain TikTok users from making jokes about the entire situation. "Let me guess, it tastes like fish?" wrote one person.Another user, who had also ate the Empurau fish previously, said that the experience was truly unforgettable, especially after he paid for it."At least you're helping the restaurant pay their shop rent," joked another person.

Despite the pricing of the item being rather steep, a report on the Empurau fish deemed it to be the "King of The River" in Sarawak

In an article published to New Straits Times (NST) in 2021, the Empurau's high commercial value was said to fetch anything from RM800 to RM1,000 per kilogramme at the time. Elaborating on the few reasons behind the expensive price tag, it was affirmed that due to the fish feeding on fruits found on the riverbanks in Sarawak, a fatty taste and distinctive fragrant aroma emerges when it is cooked. During an interview with an Empurau trader by Bernama, he noted that Empurau was always in high demand from restaurant operators and dignitaries who come all the way from Kuching and Kuala Lumpur. This is because the fish is difficult to find due to its slow-growing and seasonal reproductive rate.The trader also showed off an 8.2kg Empurau fish during the interview, which held a price tag of almost RM7,000.

GoPro's Newest Camera Will Only Cost You RM425

GoPro has launched the highly anticipated GoPro Hero4, and it comes in three variants, the Hero Black, Hero Silver and one simply called Hero, replacing the White edition

GoPro has launched the highly anticipated GoPro Hero4, and it comes in three variants, the Hero Black, Hero Silver and one simply called Hero, replacing the White edition
Image via twimg.com

GoPro have announced the specs and release date for the highly anticipated Hero 4 action camera, which will come in three models. The new series of GoPros are scheduled for release around the middle of October this year, and will feature the standard GoPro Hero 4, a GoPro Hero 4 Silver and then the top of the range GoPro Hero 4 Black.

        dropzone.com

Image via mshcdn.com

Today we're getting a look at the next installment of that story: The Hero4. The latest cameras from the action sports behemoth bring some anticipated features, along with a few surprises. Most notably, while the Hero4 still comes in three tiers/editions, there are greater differences between them. Black is still the top-specification model (more details of which after the fold), but Silver has a few neat tricks of its own. Finally, the White edition is out; in place is a new camera simply called "Hero."

        engadget.com

The Hero4 Black will be the highest spec-ed GoPro ever, and will come with the ability to shoot video at a 4k resolution at 30 frames per second. Similarly, they can now shoot videos at 1080p at a whopping 120 frames per second.

Image via cbsistatic.com

At the top end is the Hero4 Black edition. At $500, it’s the most expensive piece of hardware in the new line-up, but also the most serious. It shoots 4K video at 30 frames per second—the previous-generation GoPro Hero3+ Black could also do 4K, but only at 15fps. Dial it back to 1080p, and the GoPro Black can shoot at 120fps, so you can savor the memories of your near-death experience in buttery smooth slow motion.

        wired.com

Some of the highlights with regards to the specifications of the new GoPro range is the addition of 30fps recording at 4k resolution that is found with the Black Edition, which sees a big step up from the previous models 4k video recording, which only allowed for 15fps recording at 4k. The increase in frames from the Hero 3 will mean that users will find more versatility with their high resolution video recording.

        dropzone.com

4K will become increasingly important, but until more people have sets that support it, the best new feature on the Black Edition is 1080p at 120fps. This allows you to shoot in full HD and then slow it way the hell down and have the footage still look buttery smooth. If your final export is going to be a standard 30fps, that means you can slow your video down to 1/4 speed.

        gizmodo.com

One step down from the Black would be the GoPro Hero4 Silver. Although it's doesn't capture video at a frame rate as high as the Black, it does have an advantage by having a LCD display attached to it, something the Black does not have.

For the vast majority of people who want high-end action cam footage, the Hero4 Silver is probably the way to go. It is, essentially, the Hero 3+ Black edition from last year, which has stood as the best action camera since its release. It'll shoot 2.7K at 30fps, 1080p @ 60, and 720p at 120. It also adds Bluetooth to the Wi-Fi, has the improved audio system, Night Photo/Night Lapse, and the much better user interface.

        gizmodo.com

Taking one step down, the $400 Hero 4 Silver maxes out at 1080p resolution at 60fps, but offers something that’s more useful to the average user: a built-in touchscreen display. This makes framing and reviewing shots much easier, where once viewability was only achievable by buying extra accessories or pairing the camera to a phone.

        wired.com

Image via pocket-lint.com

Basically, all you're really missing from the Hero4 Black is 4K at 30fps, 1080p at 120fps, and some of the other higher resolution/frame-rate combinations. What you gain, however, is not insignificant: a really nice, built-in touchscreen.

        gizmodo.com

The middle model, the $399 Hero4 Silver Edition, has something GoPro fans have been clamoring for — an LCD preview screen to view footage. The Black Edition Hero 4 couldn't include the LCD, GoPro says, because the higher performing 4K footage would heat up the camera and make it inoperable.

        usatoday.com

Last but not the least is the GoPro Hero4. It is the basic entry GoPro, it may not have all the highest specs but it makes up for its attractive price. It just costs $130 (RM425).

Image via outsideonline.com

Confusingly named? Yes. But super affordable? Also yes. Coming in at just $130, it's hard to complain much about where the Hero comes up short. You get 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60, you still get SuperView which is a pretty killer feature, and maybe best of all, you still get 131 feet of waterproofiness; even Sony's flagship camera only goes to 16 feet. Interestingly enough, though, it doesn't come with a waterproof case; it's built right into one. That's right, it's not removable. The micro SD card slot and mini-USB port are moved to the back to facilitate this. You can also swap in a skeleton backdoor to improve audio, assuming you won't be getting it wet.

        gizmodo.com

The Hero 4, is the entry model for the series and comes in at an extremely affordable $130. It records in full 1080p resolution at 30fps or 720p at 60fps. The sensor of the camera allows for 5 megapixel images, offering 5fps bursts.The market for this entry level camera would be those looking to enjoy the benefits of an HD recording camera, while not having to fork out more than they need to. The use of action cameras in every day life has become exceedingly common and this camera will offer more than enough for a large portion of GoPro users.

        dropzone.com

For the Black and Silver editions, night recording will definitely be better thanks to its improved low-light sensors

For the Black and Silver editions, night recording will definitely be better thanks to its improved low-light sensors
Image via speedsociety.com

Perhaps one of the most exciting improvements on both the Hero4 Black and Hero4 Silver GoPros is their performance in low-light situations. It’s something that has seriously limited the previous models. Video settings can drop to 6400 ISO, and for stills, a new setting called Night Photo and Night Lapse can leave the sensor open for up to 30 seconds for long-exposure images.

        wired.com

When I first saw the promo video for the Hero4 Black, what jumped out at me the most were these incredible time-lapse sequences that happened at night. I thought there was no way those shots came out of a GoPro with its wee image sensor, but yep. Both versions of the Hero4 have Night Photo and Night Lapse modes. These essentially give you manual control over how long the shutter stays open, up to 30 seconds for an exposure. When coupled with time-lapse, it's capable of some pretty amazing things.

        gizmodo.com

Price wise, the Black has seen an increase of $100 and will now retail at $500 whereas the Silver will be available at $400. The Hero will be available as previously mentioned at $130.

Then there's the cost. We'd hoped that as other action cameras (that are actually very good) started coming out that GoPro would feel the pressure and lower the price of its top-tier camera to help keep it competitive. After all, Sony was coming very close on image quality and was selling its flagship camera for $300, versus $400 for GoPro's Black edition. Unfortunately GoPro is doubling down, and the Hero4 Black edition will be sold for a whopping $500. Not only is that a full $100 more than the 3+ Black, but the 3+ Black came with the Wi-Fi remote, whereas the Hero4 forces you to buy it separately, and for a not-insignificant $80.

        gizmodo.com

At just $130/£100, it really is going to challenge all those no-brand cameras that only really compete on price. As for the Black and Silver? They will run you $500/£370 and $400/£290, respectively, when they launch on October 5th.

        engadget.com

The new GoPro will not see any major improvements in terms of battery life. Instead, the capacity of the battery has dropped slightly. However, the internals of the camera could be more power efficient.

Image via kinja-img.com

Worse, though, is that it's not looking like battery life will improve over previous versions. The old batteries were 1180 mAh; the new ones are 1160 mAh. Not a gigantic drop, but considering how GoPro is far from the leader in battery life to begin with, any drop at all is a problem. Maybe the new guts will be much more power-efficient, but we're not feeling particularly optimistic.

With that said, will you be getting one? Watch how the new GoPro fares in their new video here:

If You Wanna Party, Brace Yourself For The Ultimate Level: The Philippines

When it comes to parties, the Filipinos have got it down to a fine art. With grand, out-of-this-world festivals to look forward to throughout the year, this happy nation brings new meaning to partying hard!

Lasting anywhere between a day to an entire month, Philippine festivals are huge cultural celebrations that attract both local and foreign tourists due to its colorful and festive nature. Because of Spain’s Catholic influence dating back to the mid-1500s, most of these festivals are usually religious in nature while others are meant to commemorate important events in history.

        looloo.com

If you're serious about living the party life, take note from these masters of celebrations:

1. They start really young

Panagbenga Festival February During this festival in Baguio City, children get dressed up as flora and fauna in honour of the "season of blooming" party. The main Baguio street gets closed off to vehicles to make way for the star event, "Session Road in Bloom", comprising of floral carts, street dancing, and outdoor cafes.

2. Their commitment level to parade costumes include covering themselves in black soot

Ati-Atihan FestivalJanuaryNicknamed the Filipino Mardi Gras, this festival is held annually in Kalibo (Boracay). The festival, dedicated to Sto. Niño, is one of the oldest religious celebrations in the country and is complete with street parades, indigenous costumes and weapons, tribal dances, and hypnotic drumbeats. Visitors keen to join in this party are welcomed to cover themselves in black soot and dance to the beat of the street.

3. They happily parade in the streets for 12 straight hours or more, rain or shine

Wattah Wattah Festival JuneStreet parades are an iconic part of most festivals in the Philippines, and they're always colourful, exciting, and never-ending! Even torrential rain and floods do not stop the revellers from donning their bold, colourful costumes and hitting the streets for the feast of their patron saint, John the Baptist.

4. When they throw a party, 4 million people decide to join in the fun

Sinulog Festival January Sinulog Festival's reputation as one of the most attended festivals in the Philippines is solidified with reports of the event reaching four million participants since 2013. Similar to Ati Atihan, this Cebu City festival is also held in the third week of January in honour of Sto. Niño. Besides street dancing, pageantry and sports, the festival is also known for hosting the country's largest rave parties.

5. They take dance-offs to a whole other level

One of the most anticipated attractions at Sinulog Festival is the epic dance-off by contingents from around the country known as the Sinulog Contest. The Free Interpretation Category sees the highest participation, and is famed for its quick dance steps and beautifully mythical storylines. The Sinulog-based category, on the other hand, is known for its more structured, prayer-based dance steps done in quintessentially Hispanic-inspired costumes.

6. They can make eggplants and tomatoes look like the most epic décor your home could ever need

Pahiyas FestivalMayIf you've ever wanted to see how tomatoes, eggplants, turnips and beans are craftily used as exterior home decoration, then keep an eye out for the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban. The harvest festival sees the people of Lucban using an astoundingly large array of fresh produce to beautify their homes.

7. Their passion for having a good time has earned them multiple awards

Image via Iloilorooms.com

Dinagyang FestivalJanuaryThe pride of the people of Iloilo City towards Dinagyang Festival is nothing short of astounding. The festival, held in honour of Sto. Niño, overflows with street parties, bands in all corners, dance contests, and the most amazing food and drinks. The festival has cinched several awards including the Best Tourism Event of the Philippines presented by the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines. The winning dance tribes from this festival are also bringing their pride international by promoting Philippines tourism to the United States, Canada, and Singapore.

I Wasn't The 'Ideal Child' But My Single Mum Never Gave Up On Me

26 November will forever be a date that Subohthini remembers. It was a day she honoured her mother with her academic success.

Image via Subohthini/SAYS

That memorable day was Subohthini's convocation ceremony and she was overwhelmed with happiness as she has finally achieved something in life that will make her mother, Vasanthi a/p Ramasamy, proud. "I perceive my first degree to be the biggest gift to my mum, who has never expected anything from us in return but to study well and be the crafter of our own dreams," she said. Subohthini has gone through so many trials and happy moments with her mother and younger sister, so it's only natural for her to dedicate her first class honours degree to them.

Subohthini grew up with an absent father and her mother single-handedly raised the two children up to be two fine young ladies today

Image via Subohthini/SAYS

In her own words, the 26-year-old said, "Her husband (whom I do not wish to refer as to my father) was more of a Chipsmore, now you see and now you don't."Growing up, Subohthini did not face much problems or difficulties because her mother's family was there to provide support and care for the family. "They provided care, love and attention that we lost from a dad," she said. Subohthini knew that her mother would go to great lengths to give her and her sister the best so that they will not feel like they lacked anything because they did not have a father with them. "I do not feel the absence (of my father) but maybe if he was there by being a responsible husband and father then, things might have been better. My mum would not have had sleepless nights thinking of the financial constraints and the gossips from the community because she's a single parent."

"I didn't face the difficulties, my mum definitely did. But she smartly hid her difficulties from my sister and I."

Her mother's ultimate goal is to provide for her children with the best education and she did everything she can to ensure that they would have a bright future. "Despite being a single mother and having a tough childhood, my mother strives to provide me with the access to the highest level of education possible that is within her means." "Although our finance was scarce, she never showed it to me. My mother's continuous sacrifice and effort to bring my sister and me up as successful people have yielded its fruits."Her mother showed her how to keep persevering and be persistent at the times when she felt like giving up.

But Subohthini has not been always conscious about doing better in life for herself and her family. She used to slack off and did not have any care in this world.

"During my schools days, I did not show much interest in studies. My teachers always complained about my grades to my mum." "It was not hurtful to me since I did not care but I think it those were the times that my mum felt like she failed in parenting." "I never thought that education is the ladder that will help us to elevate ourselves to better places in the future. Back then, it was just a burden to me and nothing else," she confessed.

Eventually, things got better. But things went downhill when she spent two years pursuing a degree, but failed miserably.

Subohthini went to college and graduated with a diploma in accounting and finance in 2010. "This is when I saw my mum being a bit relieved with my accomplishments. This point of my life was the wake-up call. I totally understood the sacrifice of my mum when I started reflecting on the past." However, she found herself failing one semester after another when she did her degree at another college. She wanted to leave her college to pursue her studies at the previous institution where she completed her diploma programme.  "All the money that she earned this far to educate me was wasted in the college I pursued my degree. My mum was so sad."

"Seeing your mother sad is heartbreaking. Knowing that you are the reason behind her sadness feels like something's tearing your soul apart."

At this point, Subohthini made promises - promises she vowed to keep - to her mother that things will be better if she could start over at the other college. After a momentary burst of anger and shock, Vasanthi lends her support to Subohthini, who resumed her studies in September 2013. "Regardless of the determination I had, the little voices in my mind always held me back. It made me doubt myself. It was the fear of failing my degree again," Subohthini said. "When I had those thoughts at the back of my mind, I would force myself to remember my mum, who was so fearless to reinvest in me and my education again. If my mum could continually sacrifice herself for me, why can't I shut the little voices in mind and focus on my studies?"

Finally, all those hard work paid off. Subohthini kept her promise and she has definitely come a long way since.

"I owe the responsibility of admitting that despite the struggle she went through to being a single mother, I was not the ideal daughter to her in terms of my grades in high school, the friends I hung out with, and the way I managed the little finance I received from her every week." When she was younger, she never understood how much her mother had sacrificed for the two children in the family. "The pocket money that my mum gave was never enough for me. I always wondered why does my mum give me so little?""It was only when I started my tertiary education that I realised my mother's hardships and the value of education. Ever since then, I did not turn back and now I am constantly motivated to achieve higher and higher."

The recent convocation meant a lot as she could see with her own eyes how her own efforts brought smiles to her mother

"I realised that having this success is the reason behind the beautiful smile on my mother's face. I am also grateful that I am finally able to let my mum have her sigh of relief," she said."All the victory that I have achieved belongs to none other than my mother." Subohthini is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Logistics Management and she vows to continue doing her best to provide a better life for her family.

Malayan Tiger Tests Positive For COVID-19 After Zookeepers Find Her Coughing

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for COVID-19

According to New Straits Times, the four-year-old Malayan tiger, named Nadia, was screened for COVID-19 after developing a dry cough.Nadia's sister Azul, two Amur tigers, and three African lions also developed symptoms, said Wildlife Conservation Society, the organisation that runs the zoo, in a statement yesterday, 5 April.

Nadia has been sick since 27 March and underwent X-rays, an ultrasound, and blood tests to try to figure out what was ailing her

Malay Mail reported that the zoo finally decided to test her for COVID-19 given the surge of cases in New York City, the epicentre of the outbreak in the United States."We tested the cat [Nadia] out of an abundance of caution," the zoo officials said.While the other tigers and lions were also exhibiting symptoms, they decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and had started to lose her appetite.Otherwise, they assured that the cats are doing well under close monitoring and veterinary care, and are expected to all fully recover."They are bright, alert, and interactive with their keepers."

As for their source of infection, the zoo believes that the cats became sick after exposure to an asymptomatic zoo employee

"This is the first time that any of us know of anywhere in the world that a person infected the animal and the animal got sick," the zoo's chief veterinarian Paul Calle told Reuters, who added that they do not know which employee infected the tiger.However, Calle said that they plan to share findings with other zoos and institutions about the cats and their response to the COVID-19 infection."It is not known how this disease will develop in big cats since different species can react differently to novel infections, but we will continue to monitor them closely and anticipate full recoveries," he said."Hopefully we will all have a better understanding as a result."

Bangsar Shop Owner Apologises After Employee Superglued "No Parking" Sign On Someone's Car

A Facebook user recently posted about her experience when she parked her car in front of a restaurant on Jalan Telawi, Bangsar on Sunday, 14 October

Ng wrote that she had parked her car in a "public parking space" on Jalan Telawi 3, in front of Ashley's by LivingFood Malaysia.

After running her errands, she came back to a sign stuck on her car that read:

Image via Facebook

Ng added that the sign was stuck on her windscreen with superglue by an employee of the restaurant

When confronted, Ng said that the employee told her that she was merely following her boss' instructions.Other staff from the same restaurant then used a solution to remove the superglued sign from her car.Although no damage was done to the vehicle, Ng said that the whole incident was disruptive as she had her toddler with her that morning.

Image via Facebook

According to Ng, the parking space had no signs or barriers and was meant to be open to the public

However, the parking bay did have red lines to indicate that it is reserved for business from Mondays to Saturdays.

As of today, 16 October, the owner of the restaurant has apologised for the incident and offered to pay for any damages done

He added that they have also contacted DBKL to get clarification on the operational hours for their parking spot. Nonetheless, they will leave the spot open to the public on Sundays, public holidays, and after 6pm on weekdays.

Image via Google

According to DBKL, businesses need to adhere to certain hours as reserved parking spots cannot be blocked 24/7

Earlier this year, the council's economic planning and development department director Azmi Abdul Hamid said that reserved spots are only rented to businesses from 7.30am to 6.00pm from Mondays to Saturdays."After 6.00pm daily, Sundays, and public holidays, the bays are open to the public," Azmi was previously quoted as saying by Malay Mail Online.Apart from Azmi's quote, there is a scarcity of official information on DBKL's website on the actual reserved parking hours.

This Guy In Local Ads Used To Be Called A Fat 'Tapir' But Is Now A Successful Model

Humans are extraordinary creatures. From mind-blowing inventions to achieving the impossible, people have proven time and time again that with determination and hard work, anything is possible.
The statement above is probably the best way to describe this charismatic, young man we met, Mohd Ridwan Mustafa.

Image via Twitter/ Mohd Ridwan Mustafa

Most of us would have seen his million-watt smile in the Shell billboards throughout the country, but few would know the story behind the photogenic smile. We first came across Ridwan sometime ago, when we saw a few articles about how he used to battle with weight issues before becoming a successful model and the face of so many brands. Everybody loves a good success story and it's always uplifting to read about someone making it big in life. So, we got in touch with him and asked him over for a little chat about his journey in life so far.

  A photo posted by Ridwan Mustafa (@mridwanmustafa) on Aug 25, 2015 at 12:57am PDT

Ridwan didn't always look the way he does now. Growing up in a true Malaysian environment, food was a major part of his life and that greatly impacted his body weight.
Daily meals would involve rich, delicious rice dishes like nasi dagang or nasi lemak with gulai lemak.

They are certainly delicious but are also very high in fats and cholesterol."I didn't have much awareness about health and fitness. I grew up in a Felda in Terengganu and the most I would see about being healthy would be the advertisements on local TV channels about reducing sugar and exercising more," said Ridwan. He said that most of his family members had issues with body weight too.

Being overweight or not subscribing to society's unrealistic beauty standards can be tough.
Ridwan used to be the subject of ridicule and name calling ever growing up. Tapir, masam (sour),  and gemuk (fat) are just few of the names people used to call him and sometimes these people happened to be the same people he thought were his friends.

"They used to call me all sorts of names. It was so hurtful. I think they called me Tapir because of my sharp nose," said Ridwan, recalling his younger days. If that isn't bad enough to chip away his confidence level, people used to even make fun of his dad's old bike. "I did not come from money. I'm just a normal person, we didn't own a car, all we had was my dad's old bike," explained Ridwan.

Ridwan's life went on like that for the longest time. Despite all the ridicule throughout the years, he went on to do really well in college and graduated with a degree in engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).

Not only that, during his time in UTM, Ridwan represented the university for international debating competition for four years in a row! The bright young man did not let all the negativity around him influence his climb to success in life.

Everything changed on 8 October 2010. Ridwan was diagnosed with hypertension. He was only 23 years old.
The doctor gave him an ultimatum - lose weight or be on medications for the rest of his life. He picked the first.

He gave himself a year to lose weight and be healthier. He started running, going to the gym and completely changed his diet plan to better suit his new life goal. He did not eat rice for the first eight months of the year."I was working in KL at that time. When I went back home for the first time since I started my diet, I had lost a bit of weight. The first thing my dad said when he saw me was, 'Kau ambik dadah ke (are you taking drugs)?'," said Ridwan, laughing at the memory of it. His family was really supportive of his decision and made all the efforts to continue encouraging him. "My mom even started cooking healthier options like ikan bakar and all to make sure that it fits with my new diet plan," said Ridwan. Sadly, during the start of his weight loss journey, Ridwan reminisced how his friends would discourage him by saying things like, "Ridwan, tak payah la, kau takkan kurus" (Ridwan, don't bother la, you won't become thin). He did not let any of it get in the way and continued with his mission of becoming healthier.

All the determination and discipline paid off, because a few years later, he looked like this!

To maintain his figure and health, Ridwan wakes up as early as 5am everyday. "I go for a run in the morning, come back and prepare my breakfast and get on with my day by 9.30am. Evenings are the most important time - I cannot be disturbed from 5 - 7.30pm as I've reserved that as my gym time. I do not make any compromises on that," said Ridwan.

  A photo posted by Ridwan Mustafa (@mridwanmustafa) on Dec 1, 2016 at 4:32am PST

It was after he lost weight that people started realising and commenting about his smile and features, saying that he should give modelling a shot.
"I would go to hair saloons, spas and people would tell me that my smile is beautiful. It was surprisingly pleasant after years of being mocked for my looks," said Ridwan.

  A photo posted by Ridwan Mustafa (@mridwanmustafa) on Apr 27, 2016 at 5:36pm PDT

"A friend of mine, who's a lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) asked me to try out commercial modelling which he thought was better suited for my looks and demeanor," said Ridwan. Bear in mind that this is a man that has never even considered the slightest chance or possibility of becoming a model, and being praised for his looks. While some of his friends were cheering him on, some were criticising him, asking him to not bother pursuing modelling. "Ridwan, kau jangan berangan la, muka kau berjerawat", (Ridwan, don't even dream la, your face has pimples) were just some of the things he had to hear and put up with at the beginning of his modelling journey.

So, what did Ridwan do? Thrust into a state of curiosity, he turned to the Internet and decided to just google it up - how to become a commercial model?
One thing led to another, and after going for a few castings, he got his first ever modeling job with Unilever in 2013.

That opened up a world of possibilities for Ridwan. He used every casting session as a platform to learn and discover new things about his strengths and weaknesses, and polishing up his skills based on it. "The first thing I would do if and when I get selected to do a project after a casting session would be to ask the photographer why he selected me. They would give me pointers and tell me why they think I'm the best fit for the job. I learned that I look my best at the 45° and 90° angle and a lot more that has helped me to be a better commercial model," explained Ridwan.

Things were going well for the young engineer cum model. What's amazing is that he was juggling both his day job and his modelling career, excelling at both.
"While other people went for lunch, I attended castings and used up all my annual leave to schedule  my modelling jobs," said Ridwan.

  A photo posted by Ridwan Mustafa (@mridwanmustafa) on Nov 23, 2016 at 3:57pm PST

While admitting that it can be a little tricky to manage it all, Ridwan stressed that we can achieve anything we set our hearts to. "Hard work is very important. God will only help us if we help ourselves. So, the most important thing is to keep working towards your goals and making the effort to succeed. You can't just sit around and expect good things to happen, you need to work for it," reminded Ridwan.

However, Ridwan's journey hasn't been a smooth sail. A year into his modelling career, the young man went through a rough patch when he wasn't getting any major projects even after going for more than 20 castings.

"I kept wondering why I wasn't getting any callbacks but I never found out. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be or I wasn't the right person for the jobs they had. Things were really tough and I almost gave up," said Ridwan. Left with little choice, Ridwan decided to sell some of the old 'made in china' goods that he had at home at the pasar malam (night market). He did that for about a month to just to make some extra cash.

"Where there is a will, there is a way." Ridwan used that motto as a mantra and soldiered on. His patience and perseverance paid off as he landed his first biggest modelling job with MILO in 2015.

"When I first heard about the casting, they said that I might need to play football a little bit and I don't know how to. So, I was a little skeptical about it at first, but when I went for the casting I realised that it was just required some stretching and things like that," said Ridwan. Ridwan's modelling career picked up from then on and he has now landed contracts with major brands including Shell and Darlie.

Today, the multi-talented young man not only does modelling, but also runs his own agency for weight loss, communication skills, grooming, and health and fitness consultation services

  A photo posted by Ridwan Mustafa (@mridwanmustafa) on Dec 29, 2015 at 3:00am PST

Wanting to grow and focus on his consultation business and modelling career, Ridwan quit his job as an engineer a few months ago. His stint as a debater and work with a communication agency earlier in his career has helped him with speaking about the importance of it and teaching people how they can be better communicators. As for grooming, Ridwan believes that his career as a model has given him the needed edge to educate people on looking presentable and how it affects our life.  The certified weight loss trainer also sells healthy cookies, 'Dwan's Cookies'. They are homemade energy cookies which are perfect for anyone who's looking for a healthy, post-workout snack.When he's not running, modelling or giving consultations, Ridwan loves hanging out with his friends for coffee. Being a huge fan of running, Ridwan has ran for a few major marathons around the world including the one in Sydney and Tokyo.

  A photo posted by Ridwan Mustafa (@mridwanmustafa) on Nov 13, 2016 at 5:20am PST

When we asked him how he managed to achieve so much in such a short period of time, the 29-year-old said that it all comes down to confidence.
"If you don't believe in yourself, no one will. It (confidence) needs to be a 100%, if not, no matter what good things people say about you, you will never be able to believe in it."

  A photo posted by Ridwan Mustafa (@mridwanmustafa) on Nov 17, 2016 at 1:30am PST

Ridwan takes every challenge that is thrown at him positively and thinks that every second is a new journey. He says that he owes his successes to not only his family but to all those strangers that have been supporting him and cheering him on. "The sky has no limit. You can do whatever you want if you want it enough and work hard," said Ridwan.


A Woman Was Allegedly Assaulted And Threatened By A Hairstylist In Shah Alam

Recently, a Twitter thread regarding a woman's bad experience at a hair salon in Shah Alam went viral

On Sunday, 15 September, the Twitter user who shall be known as 'Sara' wrote, "The people from the salon literally just called and harassed me, telling me I'm an evil woman." Sara also claimed that the employee from the salon had been relentlessly harassing her.

Image via Twitter

The thread has now garnered 2,900 retweets and 1,400 likes.

Sara's ordeal began in February when her visit to the salon nearly ended in a fight after the employee started getting aggressive.
Fearing for her safety, she immediately left the salon.

On Wednesday, 13 February, Sara shared that she had gone to the salon for a hair treatment. However, the employees behaved unprofessionally and made her feel uncomfortable.In a series of tweets, she explained that the hairstylist spent time washing her own hair and ignored customers. The employees also allegedly insulted customers to their face.

Image via Twitter

Sara wrote that when confronted, one of the employees then broke out in anger and physically assaulted her. Fearing that the situation would escalate, Sara ran out of the salon without finishing her session.

Image via Twitter

Months after, the employee has continued to harass Sara by calling her from various phone numbers

Sara told SAYS that she recently received a threatening text message from an unknown number.The message said, "Don't make me come to your house."

Image via SAYS

The hairstylist also scattered insults all over Sara's Instagram page.

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

A number of netizens have also come forward to share their experiences with the same hairstylist

A Twitter user said, "I've been there before. If I could, I'd rate them negative. Definitely boycotting."

Image via Twitter

"Babe! I experienced the same thing! They lack professionalism and they don't even know what they're doing. I did hair relaxing but I had to come back again because some parts are straight and some aren't," said another netizen.

Image via Twitter

Another person shared,"I once did my hair there with a friend and they honestly didn't look like they knew what they were doing. They acted so unprofessional too. The place doesn't even look like a salon."

Image via Twitter

Sara has since filed a police report. Meanwhile, the salon has refused to comment on the situation.

SAYS reached out to the salon for a statement but the writer's account was blocked.
