1. Rat

For people born in the Year of the Rat, 2023 will be a great year for you. You are ranked top three among the 12 zodiacs. You have four auspicious stars. Here's how they will help you:Red Matchmaker (红鸾): If you are single, the "peach blossom" luck is coming to you this year. You should take the initiative to meet people. Don't always hang out with the people you know, or not go out at all. Being proactive is the key.Heavenly Virtue (天德): This is an enormous auspicious star. With it blessing you in 2023, whatever you wish will come true. Some people possess a similar 'dream and it will come true' power because they have strong 'inner strength'. They pursue things they want vigorously, and this energy will influence, as well as help, people around them. So remember to be vigorous and put your "Heavenly Virtue" star to good use.Fortune Virtue (福德): This star can bring steady wealth, so you can expect money and 'inner wealth'. In the New Year, you must know how to take good care of people around you because knowing how to take care of those around you is a form of blessing. Don't take it as a form of stress. When you are capable of helping others, you will generally possess more luck.Prosperity (福星): The "Prosperity" star comes in many forms. For instance, we often say when an elderly person looks blessed, we don't mean they are wealthy. Instead, we mean they have many children and grandchildren. It means they are content in life. The "Prosperity" star represents gratefulness and appreciation for what you have now. This year, improve your 'inner strength' so you can find happiness from within. Cherish what you have now. With that, you can elevate the advantage of the "Prosperity" star.Thriving (禄勋): This star represents your career and wealth luck. Now that you are bestowed with this auspicious star, you can't stay the same if you want to make a breakthrough in your career and fortune. You must be daring to make a breakthrough. Only then, you will make great achievements.You also have three inauspicious stars. Here's what you need to look out for:Curled Tongue (卷舌): This star represents gossip. With it affecting you this year, learn ways to communicate skilfully. Don't be stubborn and tell people that you want to safeguard your individuality or that you are unwilling to change.  If you behave this way, you will definitely lose some fortune this year.Crossing Sha (绞杀): This star symbolises unplanned and unexpected expenditures. Together with the "Curled Tongue" star, you have to change the way you communicate with people to avoid losing some fortune this year.Salty Pool (咸池): As mentioned earlier, you have the "Peach Blossom" luck, which symbolises great love fortune. However, the "Salty Pool" star represents love misfortune. In Cantonese, it means "pervert". With the combination of good and bad stars, it's up to you to decide your fate. Rats, especially men, are easy to get aroused. For those who are married, if you have irrational thoughts while you are outside, it's advised to go home and hug your wife, or plan a trip with your wife. Put this loving desire on your partner. With this, you will not attract the bad "Peach Blossom" luck that will cause you to lose money.Clash with Tai Sui: Xing Tai Sui (刑太岁, "punishment from Tai Sui")Since you have a clash with Tai Sui, you might encounter an incident involving blood. Hence, Rats are advised to do a blood test to avoid the incident.

2. Ox

For those born in the Year of the Ox, there are no auspicious stars for you this year. But don't you worry. This is a good year for you to work on yourself. You can see this year as a piece of blank paper. You can leverage this 'clean slate' condition by training yourself physically and mentally.You have three inauspicious stars. Here's what you need to look out for:Sky Dog (天狗): This inauspicious star will bring health problems to you. But health problems are easy to resolve. At the beginning of the year, you should undergo a medical check-up to understand the state of your health. If problems are found, you will be able to detect them early and prevent them from worsening.Once that's over, another worrying effect of the "Sky Dog" star is you might lose your rationality.  When you hear about places to 'get rich quick' or learn about places where you can earn a high-profit margin, you will invest money impulsively. You are very likely to lose money.Opportunity is not for everyone. Opportunity is when you can grasp it because you are equipped with the ability to execute the plan successfully. Not everyone knows the real meaning of opportunity.Therefore, you have to pay special attention to your judgement and make clear distinctions between right and wrong. If you can strengthen your good judgement, you can improve your fortune this year.Peeling Head (披头): As the name of the star suggests, it means unkempt, or a person who is unable to concentrate. Do you notice that some people who work for a while, check their mobile phones for a while, then continue working for a while again? This means their concentration is fragmented. When your working hours are fragmented, your wealth will also be fragmented. You cannot have fragmented concentration and do things according to your impulses. Without a proper plan, you will be clueless, and have no wisdom and direction. That's why we have to train our concentration properly. Try focusing on things for an hour, before slowly extending it to eight hours.Although Oxen have no auspicious stars this year, if you improve your concentration, you will be able to elevate your fortune this year.Lonesome Star (寡宿): This star affects your health. As the saying goes (in Chinese), men are afraid of the "Solitary" star; women are afraid of the "Lonesome" star. It will be unfavourable to female Oxen. You will easily feel lonely or get suspicious of your partner all the time. If your husband is on a business trip, you might suspect that your husband is having extramarital affairs. To avoid this, communication between husband and wife needs to be strengthened. A lot of times, distrust between couples is caused by a lack of communication.

3. Tiger

For those born in the Year of the Tiger, you have no auspicious stars this year. But, you don't have to complain about it. Instead, take this opportunity to train yourself so you can be as tough as tigers.You have four inauspicious stars. Here's what you need to look out for:Sickness (病符): This star will likely make you fall sick easily. Why not take this opportunity to exercise at the gym and train your body consistently? You have talked about going to the gym for a long time, but you haven't taken action after decades of talking about it. This year, you really have to be determined to sign up for fitness classes or a gym membership. If you talk about reducing body fat all the time, you need to stop. Reducing body fat makes you think about "fat" in your mind. You should think about getting fit and healthy. Then take this opportunity to get fit. You need to keep an active lifestyle because if you stop exercising, you can't neutralise the "Sickness" star. Heavenly Officer Charm (天符星): This represents 'lawsuits' or any official or unofficial complaints against you. At work, Tigers might quarrel with colleagues or face other 'lawsuit' problems. So Tigers, you must be extremely careful in regards to this. But if you get a ticket due to illegal parking, it should be seen as a good thing. Why? Because the inauspicious star comes in a form of a summons. You need to pay the fine immediately. It can solve problems related to 'lawsuits' and turn them into small problems.Mo Yue (陌越): The presence of this star indicates that you might feel you are alienated and confused this year. You don't have a noble person (贵人) to help you if you are considering changing jobs or expanding your career or business. You have to be proactive to get to know people who are at a senior level. With this, when you feel confused, at least you have someone with more experience than you to guide you. You can get valuable advice from them.Death God (亡神星): This star will make your mind feel exhausted in 2023. You will have a foggy brain to the extent that you will suddenly blank out in the middle of your work. When you experience a foggy brain all of a sudden, you might say the wrong things, thus, offending people. Quarrels will ensue, which might get you in 'lawsuit' problems from the inauspicious "Heavenly Officer Charm" star. This new year, you should take it easy: say the right words and meet the right people. This will lead to a smoother year ahead.

4. Rabbit

Congratulations to those born in the Year of Rabbit. This year, you have an abundance of auspicious stars, which means you have more good luck and less misfortune (bad luck).You have four auspicious stars. Here's how they will help you:General (将星): This star symbolises leadership and power. This year, you need to lead by example. You have to do what people can't do. For example, possessing leadership qualities makes you more capable than your subordinates. You need to have a vision. With it, you can influence your subordinates and the people around you. Leadership quality comes from your ability to influence. Remember you can't sit and wait. Sitting and waiting won't produce anything fruitful. The "General" star also signifies promotion and increment. It will happen in tandem with your actions and wisdom.Intelligence (文昌): This star represents learning. In 2023, children born in the Year of Rabbit will see an increase in their interest to learn, while adults will improve their professional skills and knowledge. You need to enhance your technical and soft skills to bring your career to a higher level.Golden Chamber (金匮): This star represents wealth and fame. It's akin to a huge treasure chest that requires you to search for it proactively. So, Rabbits, you have to make good use of the "Intelligence" and "Golden Chamber" stars to gather more health. Only through wisdom and strong leadership can you acquire unlimited wealth. Jade Hall (玉贵): With three auspicious stars requiring your wisdom to work, it begs the question: where do you find it? You can find it with the blessing of the "Jade Hall" star, which will come in the form of noble people (贵人). To increase your chances of meeting noble people, you need to actively look for these wise people. Once you have identified individuals you think are worthy to learn from, put yourself under their wings immediately.You also have three inauspicious stars. Here's what you need to look out for:Sword Edge & Hidden Corpse ( 剑锋 & 伏尸): These two inauspicious stars could bring problems involving blood to you. In 2023, it's recommended to avoid doing risky activities, such as bungee jumping or walking on high-altitude suspension bridges at tourist attractions. It's best that you don't visit places that are extremely hot or cold. For female Rabbits, if you are thinking of undergoing a micro cosmetic surgery procedure to improve your appearance, you are encouraged to do so because it will neutralise the problems coming from these two inauspicious stars. However, you are not encouraged to undergo any major cosmetic surgery as it involves blood.Sky Cry (天哭): This star signifies crying every day. You may have negative thoughts. With that said, a person who allows themselves to cry is always better than those who don't allow themselves to cry. Men generally have a shorter lifespan than women because they don't want or allow themselves to cry. It's good to shed some tears when you feel like crying. It's good to express emotions.After being sad in front of a loved one, rise up again and unleash the power of your auspicious stars. Don't let yourselves wallow in sadness.Clash with Tai Sui: Zuo Tai Sui (坐太岁, "sit on Tai Sui")Before you celebrate your good fortune in 2023, you should be reminded that you have a clash with Tai Sui. As the saying goes, "If you are sitting ahead of Tai Sui, there won't be any blessings; there will be disasters." But it's still better when Tai Sui is seated behind you.You have to adopt the "Lao Er" (老二, "second in order") philosophy. What does it mean? Firstly, everyone is "Lao Er". If you are a business owner, your customers are your boss. If you are a leader in the government, citizens are your boss. Everyone is a "Lao Er". Therefore, you shouldn't attract a lot of attention to youself this year. Just do your part and train your wisdom. If you live as a "Lao Er", you will eventually become "Lao Da" (老大, "first in order") in the end.

5. Dragon

For those born in the Year of the Dragon, your fortune is at a normal level. You have one auspicious star. Here's how it will help you:Sun: This year, you have an enormous auspicious star called the "Sun" star. This will help mitigate the negative effects of those inauspicious stars. It plays a crucial role as it represents positive energy.  As long as you can make good use of your positive energy, look at every matter from a positive angle, and surround yourself with positive people, things will go smoothly for you. You should make friends who are optimistic in nature, friends who always smile and are as bright as the sun. Their brightness can shine through your heart, improving your luck.You can consider going to the beach more to bask in the sun. This can enhance your positive energy brought by the "Sun" star. Let it shine on your business, life, and career to bring you to the next level of success. You have four inauspicious stars. Here's what you need to look out for:Sky Emptiness and Bad Qi (天空 & 晦气): These stars foretell that you will face obstacles when you move toward your goals.  You may even be scared once you learn about the obstacles. But there will always be obstacles whenever you have a goal. Hence, you need to identify your long-term and short-term goals. To make them come true, you need to allocate some time a day, beginning with an hour a day, to work on your goals before slowly investing more time as you go. With this method, you can make a breakthrough this year.Saddle (扳鞍): This star represents migration, which was considered inauspicious in ancient times because you had to leave your hometown and face the danger of the wilderness. But in current society, if you have the opportunity to leave your hometown, you get to develop your career abroad, which is seen as something good. If you have the opportunity, go abroad to broaden your vision and learn, please do so. It will definitely get you out of your comfort zone and develop a stronger tolerance. Yin Sha (阴煞): In ancient times, the star meant you can't see things clearly at night. But in modern times, there are many things we can't see clearly and we are bound to make mistakes. What makes a person successful is their ability to be detail-oriented and see things clearly. As long as you can get the details right, there is no need to worry about the "Yin Sha" star. Clash with Tai Sui: Hai Tai Sui (害太岁, "harm Tai Sui")You have a minor crash with Tai Sui. Remember to keep a low profile on personal matters, but not your official matters. Dragons are vulnerable to some bad implications this year. So, in the new year, don't make frivolous investments. Avoid being a sleeping partner in a business deal as you may lose your money in such an arrangement.

If you feel grateful for it, you will see noble people everywhere.Noble people can be categorised into two types. First, people who offer you a direct opportunity. For example, your boss giving you an increment and promotion or a person giving you a business deal. This type of noble people make you happy for a while.Another type of noble people are individuals who help you indirectly. They are called "wise noble people".  Their help benefits you your whole life because wisdom and knowledge can be used for the rest of your life, instead of those who can only offer you benefits once or twice. You have to learn to be grateful for the help "wise noble people" offer to you because it will lead them to help you more. Don't ever take them for granted. Learn to give something in return and you will be able to bring in endless wealth. This is the wisdom from the book of I Ching.You have five inauspicious stars.

This means that you get more wisdom. As long as you are equipped with wisdom, you will be able to use this to progress in your career.You all have four inauspicious stars. Here's what you need to look out for:White Tiger (白虎): This star represents petty people, gossip, and accidents. The accident will involve blood, so you are advised to do a medical check-up at the start of the year. If you are a woman, you can consider undergoing a minor cosmetic procedure such as botox, which will mitigate the impact of the "White Tiger" star. With this, you can kill two birds with one stone, resolving blood-related accidents while beautifying yourself.Sky Warrior (天雄): In ancient times, competitors were known to be petty people.

In combination with the "White Tiger" star, there will always be people who will be competing against you for a promotion or a raise. But, you must always remember to remain kind in your job.Back Pocking (指背): This star means gossip. As the name suggests, the star refers to something pointing at your back. In this social media era, criticism can be found everywhere. Creating and developing your brand will be challenging, and you will find hurdles while doing so. You must always remember to use your wisdom, and be selective of what you take to heart. This means that you must not take negative comments too seriously to avoid being consumed with anger. Instead, use that energy and time to improve yourself as well as spread positive energy.Earth Sha (地煞): This star indicates obstacles. However, you don't have to worry too much, as hardship in life happens to everyone. Overcoming obstacles is a form of training. The more obstacles you overcome, the greater your wealth will be. This year, you are advised to master how to overcome obstacles and resolve problems, and this will help bring your wealth to the next level.

Ever had to teach your parents how to use the Internet?

Image via Giphy

The Internet has made life easier for all of us, especially with broadband providers like TIME that give us high-speed connectivity in our homes and offices.Even our parents are become more and more connected, with WhatsApp group chats and their own social media accounts. However, teaching our less tech savvy parents how to use the Internet may come with its own set of challenges.

Here are 7 funny stories of Malaysians teaching their parents how to Internet:

1. "My dad only has one password, but he somehow manages to forget it all the time" - Nicholas, 26

Image via SAYS

2. "My parents have SO MANY devices and they don't really know how to use any of them..." - JH, 30

For illustration purposes.

“Together my parents have three smartphones, two laptops, and four tablets. They also have a smart TV but only watch TV3. Why why whyyyy??? They don't use apps, my dad refuses to use social media, but both are constantly staring at a screen.The #1 reason why they call me is because the Internet at home is crazy slow. Like obviously lah, there are half a million devices connected to it. Instead of disconnecting some devices or upgrading their Internet, my dad will move the router to the room he's in and call me to explain step-by-step how to reconnect it.”

3. "My grandma insisted on wanting to have her name appear in every WhatsApp chat group" - Ashley, 24

Image via Ashley Hon

"My grandma is in ALOOOOT of WhatsApp group chats, and asked me why when she sends a message, she appears as 'Me', while others have their name there.I'm like, "No, grandma you appear as 'Me' because obviously you know it's you who sent the message." But she insisted on having her name in every chat group because she said, "Ya, but if other people see 'Me' they won't know who I am."And when the Internet is down or connection gets lost in certain 'dead zones' in the house, it's like the end of the world haha."

4. "My dad is constantly calling me to 'fix the Google' while I'm at work" - Amin, 34

For illustration purposes.

Dad: "Tell me how to fix the Google."Me: "What happened?"Dad: "I cannot open the Google."Me: "What do you see on the screen?"Dad: "The circle circle thing."An eternity later of back and forth...Dad: "Oh it's working. It's just slow."

5. "My dad got a new smartphone and kept trying to connect to the Internet using Bluetooth" - Azizah, 33

Image via SAYS

"I told my dad to leave the smartphone alone until I came back on the weekend to help him set it up. But of course he was excited to try, right? We spent like 30 minutes talking on the phone, with me trying to explain how to connect Wi-Fi. My dad was frustrated, I was frustrated, he was convinced he got "scammed." Then I realised this whole time he was actually pressing Bluetooth. Lol."

6. "I had to do a complete step-by-step guide to help my mum change from Netflix to Astro on the TV" - Darian, 28

Image via Darian Goh

"Yesterday, my mum sent me a photo of the Netflix home screen and asked me how to off it 'cause she wanna watch Astro. I said click the Netflix button on the TV remote, but she sent me a pic of the Astro remote and asked which one. I said not the Astro remote, but the TV remote, then she sent me the home screen of Netflix again.So I had to Google a source button image to show her which button to press to switch to Astro. Then she sent another picture prompting her to exit Netflix. She asked how to press 'Yes'. I had to tell her to use the arrow on the remote and click enter. And she sent another pic of the remote and asked where the arrow and enter button was.All is well now and balance is restored."

7. "I once had to take a half-day leave just to go home and restart the router so my mum could watch her K-drama" - YS, 25

[GAMBAR/VIDEO] Liputan Penuh Himpunan #RakyatPilihDataranMerdeka31Dis Di KL

Ahli Ekonomi Menasihati Warga Malaysia Agar Menerima Kenaikan Harga Dan Pengurangan Subsidi

Malaysians will soon have to lay down arms and accept the fact that subsidy cuts and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) are necessary growth pains to help the country achieve its developed nation status by 2020, economists have said.
But while agreeing that the spending cuts were inevitable, they criticised the timing of such measures, which were delayed due to Election 2013 in May last year.

        themalaymailonline.com

“Too much is happening at the same time; it should have been done earlier on, like the GST. These are necessary measures to transition Malaysia into a developed country. Once we have all this and the income of the general public increases, then you can reap the benefits of the current pain that we’re going through right now,” Kenanga Investment Bank senior vice-president of research, Wan Suhaimie Saidie.

        malaysiandigest.com

“Fuel subsidies distort prices and it’s unproductive to subsidise fuel consumption. In terms of resource allocation, in terms of who should shoulder the cost, now there’s a shift, spread from the government to the private sector and consumers at large. The GST also ensures a diversified revenue base and enhances the efficiency of tax administration. We’ll have a bigger tax base,” Dr Yeah Kim Leng, RAM Holdings Group chief economist.

        yahoo.com

Maybank Investment Bank chief economist Suhaimi Ilias said the subsidy cuts and the implementation of the GST were long overdue measures needed to reduce public spending, and to increase government revenue.  “The government recently announced 11 austerity moves, which is also good. Now, we need to see how the government can save money on procurement and contracts, given overspending and wastages pointed out in the Auditor-General’s reports,” he added.

Mungkinkah Himpunan 31 Disember Usaha Kerajaan Untuk Mengalihkan Perhatian Rakyat Daripada Isu Naik Harga?

Apakah benar-benar wujud rancangan menggulingkan kerajaan pada ambang tahun baru melalui perhimpunan menentang kenaikan harga barang, atau ia merupakan tindakan kerajaan dan media sekutu dalam mengalihkan perhatian rakyat daripada isu sebenar?

        themalaysianinsider.com

The Malaysian Insider difahamkan, agensi-agensi keselamatan sudah mengadakan taklimat berhubung perkara itu, dan pemerhati melihatnya sebagai tindakan terdesak Putrajaya mengalih perhatian dari isu salah urus pentadbiran negara dan janji pilihan raya yang tidak ditepati.

        yahoo.com

Pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat (PR) dan penganalisis politik bersetuju rakyat Malaysia mempunyai hak menyuarakan bantahan berhubung kenaikan harga barang dan pemotongan subsidi. Mereka menambah, tindakan media milik Umno Utusan Malaysia yang  menggambarkannya sebagai sebuah revolusi akan menyemai kebencian dalam negara.

        malaysiaedition.net

“Sebelum pilihan raya umum, kerajaan berjanji harga barang tidak akan naik akan tetapi selepas pilihan raya pada Mei, mereka kelihatan mahu mengubah janji mereka. Jadi apabila rakyat bawahan berkumpulan untuk menyuarakan bantahan mereka, ia tidak seharusnya dilihat sebagai percubaan untuk menggulingkan kerajaan,” tambahnya.

Utusan Malaysia Kata Himpunan Guling Kerajaan Pada 31 Disember Meniru Perhimpunan Anti Kerajaan Thailand

Image via akamaihd.net

Perhimpunan besar-besaran yang dirancang pada 31 Disember, bersempena dengan sambutan Tahun Baru adalah satu revolusi untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan, kata kolumnis Utusan Malaysia, Awang Selamat.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Dalam akhbar edisi Ahad Mingguan Malaysia hari ini, Awang Selamat berkata, tarikh berkenaan dipilih penganjur tidak lain hanyalah untuk menarik perhatian media asing kononnya rakyat Malaysia memberikan sokongan terhadap perhimpunan yang menggunakan nama "Bersih" itu.

        yahoo.com

"Setelah gagal untuk menggulingkan kerajaan menerusi amalan demokrasi dan peti undi, strategi sekali lagi beralih kepada cara revolusi.
"Setakat ini, belum ada pemimpin utama parti pembangkang tampil mengaitkan diri dengan perhimpunan itu tetapi ramai yang sudah boleh menduga siapa dalangnya.

        yahoo.com

Beliau berkata, perhimpunan berkenaan turut meniru perhimpunan anti kerajaan rakyat Thailand baru-baru ini yang memaksa Parlimen negara berkenaan dibubarkan.

        yahoo.com

Revolusi bukan penyelesaian. Jika ia penyelesaian terbaik, lebih sesuai dirancang untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan negeri Selangor dan Pulau Pinang yang banyak kepincangan," katanya, dan menambah, rakyat akan menolak himpunan sedemikian.

Amid a political impasse, the Bersatu wing is saying that they oppose a Facebook post Yeoh made on Monday, 21 November.In a statement yesterday, 22 November, Srikandi Bersatu said that Yeoh's post "incited the people of Sabah and Sarawak by portraying that there are political parties toying with racial and religious tension among Malaysians"."The same statement made by Hannah Yeoh also incited the people of Sabah and Sarawak to reject Perikatan Nasional (PN) based on photos of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang."The party then called on the police to investigate the serious matter.

In her Facebook post on Monday, Yeoh urged East Malaysian citizens to inform their political parties of their interests

"People of Sabah and Sarawak, let the political parties who represent your interest know - that you want a multiracial federal government in Putrajaya and not one who toys with racial and religious tension among Malaysians," she wrote.Yeoh added screenshots of headlines about Sarawak leaders wanting to ban PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang from entering the state over corruption remarks, as well as backlash against PN chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin over his claim that rival coalition Pakatan Harapan (PH) had a "Christianisation" agenda in their campaigns.

In response to the allegations, Yeoh questioned, "Who is the leader of Srikandi Bersatu? Don't they have other work to do?"

She addressed the issue in a tweet last night.According to Free Malaysia Today, the chief of Srikandi Bersatu is Datuk Seri Rina Harun.The former Women, Family, and Community Development minister recently failed to capture the Sepang parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election (GE15).

8 Things We Wished Our Smart Phone Could Do RIGHT NOW

Smartphones have come a long way in terms of features and the technology behind it. But there are still some things that we wish to see one day on a phone...

1. The ability to give users the power to download food over the Internet, all with the touch of your finger

Image via giphy.com

The problem: You're hungry and you want food.The solution: Your phone will be able to detect when your saliva meliur while looking at pictures of food via Instagram through the front facing camera. "Download food?" Click "YES". Voila! No more being hangry (hungry+angry) at night! Imagine downloading a steaming hot bowl of laksa when you're craving for something spicy and soupy at 1am!

2. The power to last on a single charge for 7 whole days

Image via giphy.com

The problem: You need to charge your phone at the end of every day, sometimes even while you're at work. The solution: Once it's fully charged, your phone's battery will last for weeks! Well we're slowly on the way there already. The Honor 7 already has a feature which allows quick charging. A full battery in just one and a half hours!

3. The ability to block you from sending THAT text to your ex

Image via giphy.com

The problem: You're out with your friends at night one day and you come home late. Suddenly the thought of your ex comes into your mind and you decided to reconnect. But just when you press 'send', you end up regretting it right away... The solution: The phone understands that moving on is hard. So it'll scan your social media channels and removes any trace of your ex's existence. When activated, your Facebook news feed will remove photos where your ex is tagged by mutual friends. Basically, no more texts to regret!

4. A feature where it tells you how much water we need to consume daily

Image via giphy.com

The problem: We humans don't drink enough water.The solution: With this new feature, you just need to press your thumb on a sensor pad plugged into your phone. Your phone will then tell you exactly how hydrated you are from the moisture in your skin. It can also tell you how much water you need to take in to return to normal levels. Problem solved!

5. The ability to identify people you've met before but you forgot their names

Image via giphy.com

The problem: You're at a conference and a party and someone says hi to you and calls you by name but you just can't put a face on it.The solution: With this feature, your phone connects with their phone and scans your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to see if you're already connected with them. Your phone will then determine if there is a match. Your phone will then give you 3 headline facts about that person. Look down. Read quickly. Awkward situation averted.

6. The ability to make itself be found when you lost it

Image via memegen.com

The problem: Humans always lose their possessions, especially their phone.The solution: A feature where your phone can let you know where its hiding when you're looking for it by ringing loudly! Oh wait... There already is one with the Honor 7.

7. A feature that knows if someone is trying to post silly statuses on your social media accounts

Image via imgur.com

The problem: Your social media accounts are always taken over by your friends, posting silly statuses or embarrassing pictures. This needs to stop!The solution: Yes, there are fingerprint IDs already but this needs to be taken to the next level! What if certain fingerprints open up certain home screens for your friends while hiding certain apps? Maybe there is already one...

8. The feature to auto un-tag any unglamorous photos on social media

Image via Reddit

The problem: You're out at night with your friends having fun and you come home to see a photo of you tagged on Facebook in a rather embarrassing shot. You have a job interview tomorrow...The solution: By granting this feature access to your Facebook profile, it will use proprietary software from previously untagged Facebook photos to determine the types of pictures that you don't want to be seen. Unflattering angles? That weird party? That embarrassing outfit? Never again, my friend!


"It Went Everywhere" — Malaysian Women Reveal All The Places They've 'Leaked' In Public

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.The contents of this article are adult in nature. Reader discretion is advised.Disclaimer: Some names have been changed for privacy purposes.

No matter which part of the world you hail from, periods are arguably the most exhausting and irritating five to seven days out of the month for all women

Cramps, fatigue, dehydration, bloating, and mood swings are just the tip of the iceberg. Despite dealing with periods monthly through sheer grace and poise, there's no denying that a slip or two may happen every once in awhile — and it may not be the most comfortable either. From restaurants to public bathrooms and sometimes even in your very own home, nightmare stories of accidentally leaking are far from uncommon. Nonetheless, I'm sure there's probably a thing or two to learn from our very own Malaysian women when it comes to being prepared when the 'monthly friend' comes to pay a visit.

Here are some real stories by Malaysian women on all the places they've 'leaked' in public:

1. "By the time we reached a hotel we were staying at, I was completely covered in blood"

"I once leaked while on a hike. It was an intense hike and there were no toilets anywhere. The group I was with then decided to  go on a caving adventure AND another hike within the same day. "It was horrible because I had nowhere to change my clothes. I didn't even have spare clothes. So, the whole day I was just completely uncomfortable and worrying about everywhere I was sitting. "By the time we reached the hotel we were staying at, I was completely covered in blood and the only saving grace was that my pants were black. So embarrassing!" — Barbara, 29 years old (she/her).

2. "Practically the entire second half of the bed was soaked in blood"

"So, the story isn't as elaborate as others may think but when I say this fully traumatised sleepovers for me — this FULLY took a chunk out of my soul."I went over to my friend's house on a Friday after school. We decided to stay at her place for one night just to chill and hang out. When it came to bedtime, she told me to sleep on her bed and that she would sleep in a sleeping bag I brought. I resisted at first, but she told me to just go to bed, so I relented."The next day, I woke up to a pool of blood all over her single-sized bed. Practically the entire second half of the bed was soaked in blood. I didn't wear [a sanitary pad] that night because I got my period a week ago. Turns out that it happened to be an irregular flow, so it came again soon after."She was really sweet and didn't make me feel guilty about it. But let's just say that after that instance, I've never slept without a pad when I was away from home." — Gigi, 27 years old (she/her).

3. "It's one thing for it to happen in an examination hall, but a whole other thing for it to occur during UPSR itself"

"It was the final day of UPSR. I still remember it happened during Science Paper 2."I don't know if this counts as a 'leak', but it traumatised me for real. After I finished my paper, I just sat in my chair and reread my answers. I got thirsty, so I picked up my water tumbler from floor. I undid the top and started to drink it when the worst thing that could have happened, happened."The bottle slipped from my hands and fell completely into my lap, a full bottle's worth of water. As it started to drip down onto the floor, the small puddle became a light tint of red — and all my classmates saw it. Thankfully, because we were just 12, the boys didn't understand it, but the girls knew what was up."An invigilator quickly rushed me to the bathroom and got me settled. It was an accident, I get it, but it has never left me. It's one thing for it to happen in an examination hall, but a whole other thing for it to happen during UPSR itself. I got an A for Science in the end, so I guess it all worked out." — Sue Ann, 19 years old (she/her).

4. "My saving grace was living five minutes away from his house"

"There was this guy in my class when I was in Form 5 who I knew had a thing for me, but I constantly blew him off cause of exams. Shortly after we left school, he moved to my neighbourhood, and lived just one row in front of me. Since it was nearby, I obliged an offer of his to come for lunch one day."Everything was going well! We had lunch at his dining table, and carried on there for about half an hour after just to catch up. The worst thing happened when I got up — I stained the dining chair with my blood. I wasn't wearing a pad cause I had my period two weeks prior."Embarrassed doesn't even cover half of what I felt. I ran home to get myself sorted immediately, and he called me to come back so we could hang out more, which I did. My saving grace was living five minutes away from his house. He was super understanding though. Clearly it made an impact since we've been married for about seven years now." — Aman, 32 years old (she/her).

5. "It dripped down my thigh like a full-on horror movie"

"My cousin's wedding was an outdoor-themed garden party in Tuscany, Italy. Before flying off, I found this perfect dress here in Malaysia and knew it had to be the one I'd wear. There was just one problem — it was so tight that I couldn't wear underwear. "The bigger size just threw the whole look off, so I knew I'd have to forego looking spectacular or my panties for that evening. I think you can tell which route I decided to take."At the wedding, 'my monthly friend' came about two weeks early, and I did not have a tampon with me at the time. The best part? We were in a castle that was an hour away from the hotel. I tried to ignore it at first, and did things like not sit down, but when I went to the bathroom to check on it, it had dripped down my thigh like a full-on horror movie."I got so desperate I started asking members of the groom's family (cousin's spouse) for help. Luckily, one aunty had a tampon on her and saved the day." — Anjali, 35 years old (she/her).

6. "Safe to say, I didn't get the job"

"I was a little unhappy with my workplace at the time, and my boss knew it. Thankfully, we were close enough that when she was informed of an opening in another company for a role I was working in, she put a good word in and told me to go for it. "When the interview day came, I took leave and went. Why I wore a white skirt, I will never know. It was my second day, so the flow felt like a waterfall in Kanching Park. My interviewer, who was a woman, invited me into her office and we had the discussion over her desk. Nothing special, just like any interview you'd go for. After it concluded, I thought I did really well. I got up, shook her hand, and was walking out of the room — until she stopped me."The sheer panic in her voice instinctually informed me of what had happened. I bled through the back of my pencil skirt and onto her seat. She immediately got up to help me, but I was so mortified that I just took my blazer off and tied it around my waist. She said not to worry about the seat, so I bolted out of there. Safe to say, I didn't get the job." — Sheila, 23 years old (she/her).

7. "I will never forget the smell that travelled through the room"

"I was training in the gym after work, and then I started to whiff the sensation of copper and blood. At first I thought, phew, who could the poor girl be, because I was covered for sure. It wasn't until I looked around that I realised I was the only girl in the gym."I ran so fast to the changing room that I managed to save my leggings in time, but the damage was done in the fact that I needed to take a shower. I couldn't bear to workout anymore, so I packed my things up and made my way out."As I was leaving and passing through the workout room, the smell lingered through the air con. I didn't know what to do, and I was too shy to say anything so I hurried out. I will never forget the smell that travelled throughout the room." — Jane, 25 years old (she/her).

8. "Gave a new meaning to Avatar: The Way of 'Water'"

"I won't say which cinema, but I got my period while sitting in the premiere seats watching a movie. It was so cold in the cinema that I didn't give it much thought while I was in there, I was more so trying to keep myself warm. Once I realised it had come, I didn't panic until I went to the bathroom to check on myself, and saw that my jeans were a little stained."I ran back to the cinema and checked the seat to make sure nothing had leaked. Thankfully, it didn't, but I think it was because I caught it in the nick of time. A few minutes later and we'd probably be receiving a lawsuit. We ended up finishing the movie there and then, but I could barely concentrate cause I didn't want an accident to happen."Who knew how ironic things would be — gave a new meaning to Avatar: The Way of 'Water'." — Alex, 28 years old (she/her).

9. "Luckily, hotel security didn't come after us"

"My girls and I were so excited to have a bachelorette party in Tioman, so we packed our bags and got out there as soon as we could. Our hotel was impeccable, five stars and nothing short of sensational. I was a little bummed that I was on my period, so I made sure to be extra careful throughout my time there."I was most excited to swim, knowing that it didn't matter anyways. After I got in, I was splashing around, being extra with my friends so it didn't hit me until one of my girls pointed out to me that I was leaking... in the pool... and it wasn't stopping. "Flustered, I quickly got out of the pool and wrapped myself before it started in full motion all over again. I ran to my hotel suite. Luckily, hotel security didn't come after us. We didn't tell anyone, 'cause it was super embarrassing. But they've always had my back and this was no different. It just made me freak out!" — Shanya, 30 years old (she/her).

10. "I didn't even wait for them to let us out once we landed on the tarmac, I just sprinted to the door"

"I got my period when I was on a flight with my partner coming home from a trip to Singapore. I was a little uncomfortable on the plane, and I panicked once I realised that I wasn't sweating. I had pads in my carry-on but there was no bathrooms on the flight since it was a short one. "It was only when an air stewardess noticed something was wrong that she came and asked me if I needed anything. Nothing touched me more than her rallying two other stewardesses together, who cornered off a section in the plane for me to change. My pants were stained a little, but I folded it into my carry-on so the smell would be contained."I didn't even wait for them to let us out once we landed on the tarmac, I just sprinted to the door. They were aware of my situation and let me off before anyone else. I didn't need to adjust anything after that, but I was too shy to stick around longer." — Lily, 38 years old (they/them).

11. "Road trips were never my forte, and this just about proved it"

"Around November, my parents planned for us to have a road trip to Melaka with the whole family. Road trips were never my forte, and this just about proved it."On our way there, I got my period in the car and didn't realise it 'cause I already had a pad on and didn't care as much. Only after awhile did my mom point out the smell and I noticed that I made a mess all over the seat. My dad stopped the car and I had to sort myself out in the bushes on the highway."When my other relatives, who saw us randomly stop, also stopped to ask us if anything was wrong, my mum just lied and said that I was feeling giddy and carsick, so I needed to stop for a second. They carried on anyways and we followed soon after."I felt super guilty 'cause I thought I had ruined my dad's car, and worse — they had to endure about an hour's journey of the smell. My dad ended up going to an automobile shop to get the stain cleaned. No one made me feel bad about it, they all knew it was an accident, but it was just horrible for me." — Natasha, 35 years old (they/them).

Not satisfied with his termination, the man filed for an arbitration requesting his reinstatement and continuation of his labour contract

According to South China Morning Post, the man first joined the company in April 2006, and has been working on a non-fixed-term labour contract since April 2013.However, in December 2014, he was diagnosed with an anorectal condition which required him to have surgery.Despite making a full recovery, Wang experienced persistent pains which led to his long-lasting toilet breaks.Eventually, in September 2015, his company decided to let him go due to his frequent absenteeism, tardiness, and tendency to leave work early.

Nonetheless, despite the dispute in court, Wang still lost his bid to get his job back

According to Kosmo!, the Tianjin High Court ruled that the termination was legal and justified, and that his excessive stays in the toilet were unreasonable and beyond his physiological needs.

Meanwhile, in March, a Japanese man was fined for smoking a total of 355 hours at work:
