The JPJ officer, known only as Suhaidah, went out of her way to help a woman, known only as Chuang who had difficulty in walking

The woman had gone to the JPJ office with a friend to transfer the title of a car. After being told about Chuang's condition, Suhaidah asked the friend to drive Chuang to the lobby area. She then left her counter and walked out to the lobby area to serve the woman who was still seated in the car.And Suhaidah did this with a smile and in a friendly and patient manner (squatting to take thumbprints from Mrs Chuang, even when it took her many tries).Not just that, Lim Thung Him, who posted the incident on Facebook, also wrote that the JPJ officers also told her that those who had mobility difficulties could contact the department so that the necessary arrangements could be made for them.

Our writer Samantha provided us with a translation of the post:

"This morning, I took my friend Mrs. Chuang (who can’t move around easily) to Road Transport Department in Batu Uban, Penang to change car ownership. With the help of Mr. Wooi Chiam Chiam (Plus Trading & Agency representative) and officials at JPJ counters, our case was referred to the Officer. Ms. Suhaidah (uncertain rank) who took over our case. She gave us permission to drive our car to the front lobby. Barely 5 minutes later, Ms. Suhaidah came over to serve Mrs Chuang in a friendly and patient manner (squatting to take thumbprints from Mrs Chuang, even when it took her many tries). The whole process took no more than 20 minutes.With Ms. Suhaidah’s consent, I took some photos to post on Facebook. Good service should be praised and practiced in all government departments.Before we left, the official at the counter gave us 2 telephone number  046 564 131/046 564 151 RTD so anyone with disabilities have matters to  pertaining the JPJ can request for officials from the Mobile department to stop by their residence to get it sorted out.Again, kudos to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) Branch Batu Uban, Penang."

M-Forces Security managing director and Facebook user Michael Cheang shared about the encounter on his personal account on Saturday, 27 November.He wrote that he received the video from an unnamed source and would like to explain the situation behind the short 21-second clip of a woman shockingly throwing a drink at a security guard and a delivery rider before storming off.

Image via Michael Cheang (Facebook)

Cheang said that the woman, who is from China, ordered milk tea to the apartment in Kuala Lumpur around 8pm that night

She ordered for the drink to be sent right to her unit.However, when the delivery rider arrived, the security guard on duty stopped him and told him that he could not go upstairs to deliver it due to COVID-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs).Calling the customer to tell her that he could not fulfill her request, the delivery rider was suddenly met with the woman's berating."Other countries, including China, can [deliver to the doorstep], why is Malaysia so terrible?" she said.Cheang said the woman, too, accused his company's security guards of not being competent.In the video Cheang shared, the woman in a white shirt and dark-coloured bucket hat can be seen deliberately splashing her drink at both the security guard and delivery rider before showing them a finger and walking away at an apartment lobby.The security guard and delivery rider did not respond and only watched as she stormed back indoors.

After learning about the horrible incident, the managing director praised his staff and the deliver rider for handling the issue well

"In the face of such a hot-tempered and angry resident, they showed professionalism and calmly dealt with the issue, sticking to their duties and responsiblities. I am proud of them!" Cheang wrote.He also reminded everyone to be kind to all frontliners.

The video went viral with netizens getting angered by the women's rude behaviour and praised the two men for staying composed

"If she does not accept Malaysia's SOPs, she should just go back to China and follow their SOPs there. Too disrespectful!" said a Facebook user.

Image via Facebook

Another said, "If they couldn't go up, you should come down to get [the order]! Do people need to feed you too? You're that lazy? You should just make your own food."

Image via Facebook

A few others also encouraged Cheang to stand up for his employee by reporting the woman to the authorities for assault.

It is unsure if a report has been made against the woman.

Tayang 'Video Lucah' Di Google Meet, Cikgu Ini Diganggu Pelajar Nakal Semasa Sesi PdPR

Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran di Rumah (PdPR) merupakan kaedah baru yang bukan saja memerlukan kreativiti tetapi pendekatannya juga harus lebih menarik

Begitupun, bertugas dengan norma baru PdPR ini, ada guru mendakwa mereka turut berdepan dengan gangguan lucah oleh segelintir 'pelajar nakal'.Menurut laporan, bagi seorang guru dari sebuah sekolah di Kepong yang mahu dikenali sebagai Cikgu N, mendedahkan dia diganggu dengan tayangan video lucah oleh pelajar ketika sesi PdPR berlangsung."Pelajar itu mengganggu proses PdPR yang menggunakan platform Google Meet dengan menyiarkan video lucah."Perkara ini dilakukan oleh murid tingkatan satu, mereka berani berbuat demikian kerana mereka belum bersemuka dengan guru," katanya.

Terpaksa menghentikan sesi PdPR apabila berdepan dengan gangguan sebegitu

Walau bagaimanapun, katanya tindakan itu akhirnya akan memberi kesan serta merugikan pelajar lain yang tidak terbabit.Jelas Cikgu N lagi, bukan dia saja yang berdepan dengan gangguan sebegitu sebaliknya masalah sama turut dihadapi guru lain.Sebagai rekod, sesi persekolahan 2021 dijalankan mulai 20 Januari lalu secara PdPR ekoran ancaman wabak Covid-19 yang belum reda.PdPR ialah pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) yang dilaksanakan di rumah atau pusat komuniti atau di mana-mana lokasi yang bersesuaian.

Sementara itu, seorang lagi guru turut mengalami nasib sama seperti Cikgu N iaitu diganggu pelajar dengan video dan gambar lucah ketika PdPR

"Saya terkejut dengan kejadian yang tidak diingini, apatah lagi ketika itu para pelajar ada sekitar 100 orang sedang mengikuti pembelajaran."Disebabkan seorang pelajar nakal yang buat hal, habis sesi pembelajaran terpaksa dihentikan," katanya yang enggan namanya didedahkan.Menurut guru terbabit kejadian itu berlaku pada minggu lalu dan ia sudah dimaklumkan kepada pihak pentadbir sekolah dan pejabat pendidikan daerah.


[SHARE] The 25 WORST Passwords Of 2013

The 25 Worst Passwords Of 2013 List Is Out! Is Your Password On It?

SplashData, which makes password management applications, has released its 2013 list of the 25 worst passwords based on files containing millions of stolen passwords posted online in the last year.

        time.com

'123456' Is THE Worst Password Of 2013

“Seeing passwords like ‘adobe123′ and ‘photoshop’ on this list offers a good reminder not to base your password on the name of the website or application you are accessing,” Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData, said in a statement.

Did You Know? Longer Passwords Take More Time To Crack

"It’s recommended that your password should be more than 12 characters (16+ preferably) to lessen the chances of it being cracked."

        teachthought.com

According To Splashtop, Replacing Letters With Similar-Looking Numbers (Such As '3' Instead Of 'E') Is NOT An Effective Strategy

Instead, consider using phrases of random words separated by spaces or underscores, and using different passwords, at least for your most sensitive accounts.

"It's Best To Use Random Words Rather Than Common Phrases"

One way to create more secure passwords that are easy to recall is to use passphrases — short words with spaces or other characters separating them. It’s best to use random words rather than common phrases. For example, “cakes years birthday” or “smiles_light_skip?”

        theblaze.com

"Use Different Passwords For Each New Website Or Service You Sign Up For"

Avoid using the same username/password combination for multiple websites.  Especially risky is using the same password for entertainment sites that you do for online email, social networking, or financial service sites.

Mum Charged With Making Allegedly False Report On Son's Abuse At Madrasah In Shah Alam

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.Disclaimer: This story contains sexual, physical, and mental abuse details that may be distressing to some readers.

On 21 August, a 45-year-old mother lodged a police report against a madrasah claiming that her son was attacked at 11pm on 10 August

Her 20-year-old son, who wants to be known simply as Hariz, has been receiving treatment since April for drug addiction at Madrasah Darussolihin located at Jalan Kebun, Shah Alam, reported New Straits Times.According to a family member, Hariz's parents sent him there because they heard the madrasah also served as a rehabilitation centre and could help him overcome his addiction.Following his mother's report, Hariz went to lodge his own report on 23 August, denying his mother's claim that he was attacked. He filed the report while he was still living and receiving treatment at the madrasah.

A month later on 20 September, Madrasah Darussolihin admitted that they had been operating illegally for 20 years

Ridzuan, a representative of Madrasah Darussolihin, confirmed that the madrasah is merely an organisation, reported Media Variasi."We are also not registered under the Ministry of Education (MOE), people call our institution a madrasah, hence, we use the name madrasah," he said."Yes, we admit that we did not get the approval of the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) or the Selangor Department of Islamic Religion (JAIS) because we did not meet the requirements set by Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT)," he added.

Madrasah Darussolihin's representative, Ridzuan.

On 23 September, the victim's brother's Twitter thread went viral explaining the alleged abuse his brother had to endure at the hands of the madrasah

He explained on Twitter that his family came to the madrasah with the intention of taking Hariz to the police station to file a report. Unfortunately, they were not treated kindly, and a scuffle ensued.During the scuffle, the victim's brother was also punched because the madrasah allegedly refused to let Hariz go.

In the same Twitter thread, Hariz's brother listed several allegations against the madrasah, including sexual, physical, and mental abuse

Some of the allegations include:- Hariz's head was hit with an iron wrench.- Hit with a hose pipe.- Beaten with a mop until the shaft broke.- Asked to hold someone else's penis.- Forced to defecate in plastic bags.- Fed cili padi and salt.- Molested.- Forced to run on rocks until Hariz's heel shattered.

The same day, Hariz and his family held a media conference

He told the media that during the early stages of his treatment, the residents of the madrasah were taught the true Islamic teaching and they always had congregational prayer, reported Harian Metro."However, not long after, the madrasah began abusing us for no reason, and I was locked in a room that resembled a prison," Hariz added.According to the alleged victim, the madrasah also mandates residents to selawat (send salutations) to Sheikh Abdul Kadir Jailani every night.Then on 25 September, Hariz backtracked his earlier claim and filed a second police report, saying that he was, in fact, attacked by the madrasah's wardens on 10 August, reported New Straits Times.

A couple of days later, however, the victim's mother was charged with making a false report

"The alleged victim was taken to Shah Alam Hospital but checks found no bruises on the victim," said Shah Alam police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim, reported New Straits Times."The case was classified as no-further-action (NFA) by the deputy public prosecutor," he added.The alleged victim's mother was charged on 26 September under Section 182 of the Penal Code for filing a false police report and providing false information to the police with the intent of causing a public servant to use his lawful authority to the detriment of another person.She pleaded not guilty and was allowed bail at RM2,000. The case's trial was set on 15 November.The Shah Alam magistrate warned the mother not to make further statements regarding the case.

Earlier this week, Madrasah Darussolihin submitted claims for damages of RM10 million each to Media Variasi's reporter, Wan Norhayati Wan Alias, and the alleged victim for defamation

According to the madrasah's lawyer, Zahiah Nasir, the notice demanded that both of the individuals make an apology within seven days starting September 26, through electronic media, newspapers, and social media platforms, reported Malaysia Gazette.Zahiah added that the RM10 million demand was made to both parties after the alleged victim made a statement about a militant-style abuse he experienced at the madrasah and published it in the media without seeking confirmation from Madrasah Darussolihin."Inshallah (if Allah wills it), time will reveal the truth. I can't say much at the moment, but our family hope for the public to continue their support and pray for us," said the alleged victim's brother on September 27.

A Husband In India Divorced His Wife For Only Cooking Instant Noodles Every Day

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

Couples get divorced for a myriad of reasons.
Recently, a man in the south western region of India sought to be separated from his wife because she only prepared Maggi noodles.

The case came up when principal district and sessions court judge ML Raghunath was talking at an event about the issues over which married couples sought a divorce, according to The New Indian Express.The judge said that this was one of the cases he handled when he was the district judge in Ballari, Karnataka and that the couple eventually divorced through mutual consent.

The judge called it the "Maggi case"

			It was noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

"The husband said his wife did not know how to prepare any food other than Maggi noodles. It was noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He complained that his wife went to the provision store and bought only instant noodles," the judge was quoted as saying by The New Indian Express on 28 May.

While the judge expressed disappointment that divorce cases in India are increasing drastically, others pointed out that the judge should have held the husband accountable for not knowing how to cook, too

In India, couples have to stay together for at least a year before seeking a divorce.The judge said that if there was no such law, divorce petitions would be filed directly from wedding halls.He, however, acknowledged the fact that (rural) women in India have no independence."...their fear of society and family sentiments force them to cope with the situation. But in cities, women are educated and financially independent (and therefore can file for divorce)," he said.Meanwhile, reacting to the "Maggi case", several people on Twitter questioned if cooking is assigned only for the woman in the family and why the Judge didn't ask the husband why he doesn't cook.On the other hand, a man, replying to the tweets about holding the husband accountable, expressed that "women are good for nothing" because "they neither want to work nor cook".

Last year, a husband sought to divorce his wife of four years, claiming that they had to move 17 times over her cockroach phobia:

                Husband Wants To Divorce Wife Over Her Cockroach Phobia Which Caused Them To Move 17 Times

The wife, however, said her husband has used her phobia against her and tried to declare her as mentally ill.

However, in fact, the man in the photos was present as a guest to newly appointed Senator, P. Waytha Moorthy

Waytha was reported as saying in a Free Malaysia Today (FMT) article today, 18 July, that the man in the viral photos is actually a close friend and a brother known as Arunachalanandaji, a non-Indian national residing in India.Waytha pointed out that Arunachalanandaji has been highly regarded for dedicating a big part of his life to propagating world peace and communal harmony. It was reported that the Senator regrets that Arunachalanandaji was subjected to personal insults on social media due to his appearance."He is my brother who has renounced his life for world peace and lives by a mountain in India in seclusion," Waytha was quoted as saying by FMT.

It was learned that Waytha had invited Arunachalanandaji to the ceremony out of respect

"I thought that since he dedicated more than 30 years of his life to world peace, it would be most appropriate for him to grace my swearing-in," he told FMT. Waytha, chairman of Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF), was among the eight individuals who took their oath of office as senators yesterday.He has made a comeback as Senator following his brief stint in the post in 2013 until 2014 during Datuk Seri Najib Razak's tenure as Prime Minister. He quit his senatorship less than a year after assuming office, claiming that Najib's administration did not keep promises made for the Indian community.Waytha was also sworn in as the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (National Unity and Social Wellbeing) yesterday, following his swearing-in as Senator for a three-year term.

How To Find Out Whether Or Not Apple Will Replace Your iPhone 5 Battery For Free

Apple has initiated a new iPhone 5 battery replacement program to repair "a very small percentage" of iPhone 5 models sold during the period of September 2012 to January 2013

Image via themalaysianinsider.com

Apple launched the battery replacement program after learning that some iPhone 5 devices “may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be charged more frequently.” It is unknown how many devices were affected by the defective batteries.

        forbes.com

Although Apple is going out of their way to replace their defective batteries, this will not happen for every iPhone 5 owner. Not only does the defective iPhone 5 need to have a serial number, falling within a small range, they must also have been bought between September 2012 and January 2013. This new program is also not for just any model of the iPhone 5 and cannot be used on iPhone 5S or the iPhone 5C.

        guardianlv.com

How to find out if your device is affected and therefore eligible?

1. Find your iPhone's serial number

You'll need the serial number to prove your iPhone has legitimate battery issues. To find the serial number for your phone, go to Settings > General > About > Serial Number. It is about halfway down the page.

        cnet.com

2. Enter your iPhone's serial number on the iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program website

Enter the number into the Eligibility box and press Submit
Image via theatlantic.com

Enter the number into the Eligibility box and press Submit.

        forbes.com

3. If your iPhone is not eligible...

Image via theatlantic.com

Even if you get the message that your phone is ineligible, you might be able to get a refund. If you paid for a new battery during the lifetime of your phone, the Replacement Program will offer you a refund for that purchase.

        thewire.com

Apple will replace the defective batteries of the iPhone 5 devices for free at Apple Retail Stores and Apple Authorised Service Providers

Image via wired.com

Head on over to an Apple store or an authorized service shop. If your phone is eligible for the replacement, you'll need to resolve any other damage first, as that can get in the way of the battery replacement. So, say you have a cracked screen, you will have to fix that first (and perhaps pay for it, depending on your warranty.) After that, Apple will replace the battery for free.

        techrepublic.com

Apple recommends backing up the data of the iPhone 5 using iTunes and iCloud before bringing it to the store. Turning off the “Find My iPhone” app is strongly recommended as well.

        guardianlv.com

Apple started the battery replacement program in the U.S. and China on 22 August, but it will launch in other countries on 29 August

This program covers affected iPhone 5 batteries for 2 years after the first retail sale of the device or until March 1, 2015, whichever provides longer coverage.

        forbes.com

This is not the first time that Apple had to issue a hardware recall

Image via thewire.com

In October, Apple reached out to customers because there were several thousand iPhone 5S devices that had shipped with defective batteries, which was about a month after it launched. In 2006, Apple also recalled 1.8 million battery packs for iBook and PowerBook laptop computers due to overheating problems.

        forbes.com

Additionally, Apple has a similar replacement program for the sleep/wake button for the iPhone 5 already in place

In that case iPhone 5 devices manufactured through March 2013 may have sleep/wake buttons that have stopped working or work intermittently.

Drama Mat Salleh Ini Papar Watak Wanita Islam, Tapi Ramai Tepuk Dahi Lihat Cara Dia Solat!

Pasti ramai yang perasan banyak filem ataupun drama keluaran Hollywood selalu memaparkan masyarakat Islam sebagai watak jahat atau antagonis

Representasi watak Islam memainkan peranan penjahat telah menguasai budaya industri hiburan Amerika Syarikat sejak beberapa dekad sebelum ini.Perkara ini diburukkan lagi berikutan peristiwa 9/11 yang mana nama Islam mendapat reputasi yang buruk di negara itu sehinggakan umat Islam di sana ditindas dan dilayan sama ada seperti penjenayah ataupun pengganas.

Image via Arab America

Namun begitu, pada masa kini, stereotaip itu semakin hari semakin dibuktikan sebagai tidak benar dan orang Islam semakin diterima baik dalam masyarakat barat.

Bahkan, filem ataupun drama Hollywood masa kini sudah mula menyertakan watak-watak protagonis beragama Islam dalam cereka mereka, dan orang Muslim tidak lagi hanya memainkan watak jahat.

Sebagai contoh, drama '9-1-1: Lone Star' memaparkan seorang watak ahli bomba wanita beragama Islam bernama Marjan Marwani

9-1-1: Lone Star mengisahkan sekumpulan ahli bomba yang mana bekerja untuk menyelamatkan nyawa orang ramai di samping menyelesaikan masalah peribadi masing-masing.

Image via Den Of Geek

Watak Marjan Marwani yang dilakonkan pelakon Perancis-Lubnan, Natacha Karam, merupakan seorang wanita beragama Islam yang bekerja sebagai ahli bomba tetapi harus bergelut dengan pekerjaannya kerana terpaksa menghadapi stigma sosial dari masyarakat.

Image via Meaww

Walau bagaimanapun, baru-baru ini tular video salah satu adegan dalam siri itu di mana Marjan dilihat sedang menunaikan solat di tempat kerjanya yang ternyata telah membuat ramai tepuk dahi

Hasil tinjauan di laman Twitter menunjukkan ramai yang mengkritik rancangan 9-1-1: Lone Star itu kerana seolah-olah sengaja menggunakan watak Muslim agar mereka dianggap tidak prejudis, tanpa mempunyai apa-apa pengetahuan tentang agama Islam.

When you make an effort to include a Muslim character but can’t be bothered to research how Muslims pray. Accurate representation matters  @911LoneStar  pic.twitter.com/MjVEmB572r— Ambereen Dadabhoy (@DrDadabhoy) May 5, 2020

Antara komen daripada pengguna laman Twitter:

Image via Twitter @DrDadabhoy

Bukan itu sahaja, dalam video lain pula, tudung Marjan dilihat terbuka ketika dia sedang bertugas, sebelum beberapa rakan sekerjanya membuat halangan supaya dia dapat memakai semula tudung.

First of all, this obsession with dehijabbing women is gross. Second of all WHOSE HAIR LOOKS LIKE THIS AFTER WEARING A HIJAB ALL DAY. WHOSE. https://t.co/MXsbTw3hHt— Hanna Alkaf (@yesitshanna) May 6, 2020

Adegan tersebut membuat netizen mengkritik betapa tidak realistik situasi itu yang sengaja dibuat agar orang Amerika dapat dilihat sebagai hero.

Apa pendapat anda setelah melihat klip adegan drama tersebut?

Then I hit a point where the iPhone just wouldn’t cut it, I would see a lot of photographers who are friends of mine that were taking amazing shots and had amazing cameras and were just killing it, and that’s when bought a camera." said Matthews.

Rapid KL Apologises After Video Of A Stray Dog Taking An LRT Ride Causes Uproar

Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd released a statement on Tuesday, 13 August, apologising for a recent incident of a stray dog taking a ride on its LRT train

Image via Facebook

"Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd would like to apologise for the anxiety and the inconvenience caused to our customers earlier today (13 August) when a stray dog managed to get into our station and boarded the train at LRT Miharja Station," the statement read.Rapid Rail explained that its LRT Miharja Station is an 'at-grade' station, meaning that it is on the same level, which makes it accessible to strays and other animals.

In a video of the incident, a stray dog can be seen obediently sitting close to one of the train's doors

A man dressed in purple and carrying a crutch is seen trying to chase the stray away by tapping the crutch on the floor, but the dog does not budge.

One of the earliest postings of the video had over 160 shares and 175 comments.Several netizens had reacted in anger over the video, with some believing that the dog was someone's pet.

"How stupid are these people to bring their dogs on the train," one netizen accused.

Image via Facebook

Another netizen joked that they will bring a cow on the LRT next.

Image via Facebook

Rapid Rail clarified that the dog was a stray that had boarded the train, and that its auxiliary police (AP) had been around to handle the situation

[MEDIA RELEASE]Rapid Rail Issues Apology over Stray Dog Incident KUALA LUMPUR, 13 August 2019: Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd would like to apologise for the anxiety and the inconvenience caused to our customers earlier today when a stray dog managed to get into our station...— RapidKL 03-78852585 (@MyRapidKL) August 13, 2019

"Our Auxiliary Police ('AP') detected the stray immediately upon its intrusion of the platform. Unfortunately, before the stray could be removed, it managed to scamper into the train that arrived at the station at 8.24am," the statement explained."The AP followed the stray on-board and quietly observed it the entire time it was on the train to avoid causing panic and commotion amongst our guests. Considering that it did not show any signs of aggressiveness, the AP decided to get the stray out at LRT Pandan Jaya station, another at-grade station, at 8.29am.Rapid Rail added that the stray dog was "captured humanely" and released a safe distance away from its LRT stations.

Man Claims He's Malaysian After He Was Told His SG Car Cannot Use RON95

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

It is widely known that RON95 petrol is subsidised by the Malaysian government, which means that foreign-registered cars are not allowed to use the petrol for their vehicle

Despite the common knowledge, a man recently went viral on social media after he was recorded pumping RON95 petrol into his Singapore-registered Honda Odyssey.In the one-minute clip posted on SG Road Vigilante SGRV's YouTube channel, the man can be seen being approached by a woman at a gas station in Malaysia after he was done pumping his car with RON95 petrol.The woman told him several times that he could not pump his car with RON95 petrol, to which the man asked, "Even though I'm Malaysian also cannot?""No, [it] doesn't matter [if] you're Malaysian or what but you are using a Singaporean car," she replied.

Image via SG Road Vigilante SGRV (YouTube)

The woman continued to confront the man and told him that he should know the rule if he was indeed Malaysian

"If you said you are Malaysian, you should know. You cannot fill up the petrol using a Singaporean car," she said.The man then told her that in the past, other petrol stations in Melaka and Kuala Lumpur had allowed him to use the petrol for his vehicle.Despite the man's explanation, the woman stood on her ground and told him again that he was not allowed to use RON95 petrol for his car.

Image via SG Road Vigilante SGRV (YouTube)

Netizens were enraged by the video and left their thoughts in the comments section

Many users requested that the authorities take legal action against the man in the video.

Image via YouTube

One user suggested that petrol stations should use a system that checks buyers' identities by tapping their identification card (IC) in order for them to use RON95."If the system detects a Malaysian IC with a foreign vehicle, the culprit can easily be traced," they wrote.

Meanwhile, one Singaporean user agreed that a heavier penalty must be given to Singaporeans who disobey Malaysian law.

This App Lets You Earn Money By Tutoring And Helping Students With Their Homework Online

How would you like to help the future leaders of tomorrow with their homework and earn money at the same time? Enter the educational app called Snapask, where you don't even have to meet your students to tutor them.

Image via Snapask

The app recently went viral when Twitter user @notaquietjane, who made RM1,254 in less than three weeks as a tutor on Snapask, created a thread to explain how the app works

Image via Twitter @notsoquietjane

At the time of writing, the Twitter thread has been retweeted over 18,000 times. A Facebook post curated from her thread spread even wider, having being shared almost 50,000 times since it was published on 1 February.

What is Snapask?

Based in Hong Kong, Snapask was founded by Timothy Yu in January 2015 to connect students to tutors for homework help and academic support. From serving students based in Hong Kong, the app has since expanded to Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia (launched in May 2017).

HOW IT WORKS: Snapask functions like a mobile crowdsourcing platform a la Uber, in which students are required to snap a photo of their queries and submit it to the platform to be addressed by tutors.

Image via Twitter @notsoquietjane

The questions will then appear on tutors' timeline, following which tutors can choose to answer or solve whichever questions they are able to. Tutors will be paid RM1.50 for every session.

Image via Twitter @notsoquietjane

Once you have solved or answered the question, snap a photo and send it to the student via Snapask's WhatsApp-style instant messaging platform (below). Much like Uber or Grab, students get to rate tutors at the end of each session. If a tutor's rating falls beyond the average, Snapask will review their profile again to check on their work.

Image via Twitter @notsoquietjane

To qualify as a tutor, you will need to submit a copy of your SPM certificate as well as a current transcript or results slip to support your application. You must also have at least an A in SPM for the subject(s) you wish to teach.

Here's the list of subjects that are currently covered in the app:- Primary Mathematics- Primary Science- Primary Bahasa Malaysia- Primary English- Lower secondary Mathematics- Lower secondary Science- Lower secondary Bahasa Malaysia- Lower secondary English- SPM Mathematics- SPM Additional Mathematics- SPM Physics- SPM Biology- SPM Chemistry- SPM Bahasa Malaysia - SPM English

HOW TO APPLY:

			1. Install Snapask. The app is available for iOS and Android.  2. Register an account as a Tutor (refer below).

Image via Snapask / SAYS

			3. Upon registration, you will be directed to a page to upload supporting documents i.e. your IC, SPM results certificate, and latest academic transcript/results slip. 4. Wait for an approval e-mail (or a follow-up e-mail if your application is incomplete). It might take some time as your application will be reviewed by Snapask staff. Alternatively, you can send your application to [email protected] with the following documents attached:(i) Your SPM certificate(ii) A photo ID (IC or university student card) (iii) Latest transcript or results slip for current semester of your tertiary studies

In light of all the attention the app has been receiving, applications may take up to 28 working days to be reviewed

In the meantime, Snapask is encouraging applicants to refer students to the app, because more students = more tutoring opportunities! "We want students, so share how Snapask can help them with the academic problems and help them grow," they wrote in a Facebook Note, adding that applicants with successful referrals will be prioritised for processing.Students can claim a free trial of three questions before opting for subscription packages starting from RM55 for 25 questions per month (that's definitely cheaper than going for tuition classes!). More information on subscription packages and question packs here.

You've read about Uber for tutors. Now we're about to go into bizarre territory with this "human Uber" stand-ins for when you can't be bothered to go outside:

                You’ll Never Have To Talk To People Face To Face Again With This New “Human Uber” Tech

Yup, not creepy at all.

A 10-Year-Old Boy Was Eaten Alive By A Crocodile In Philippines

A 10-year-old boy from the town of Balabac, Palawan was snatched by a saltwater crocodile recently

On Tuesday, 13 August, ABS-CBN News reported that Milhasan Suraping was attacked by the reptile last Sunday, 10 August, during an outing with his siblings to buy coffee and sugar.

According to the children, their younger brother was about to go up the stairs of their floating house when a crocodile bit him on the abdomen.

He was then dragged into the water by the animal and disappeared under the surface.

A day after the attack, the partial remains of the boy were found floating in the river

His father failed to find the boy after an overnight search, but a fisherman discovered the child's head and right leg in a mangrove forest.

Palawan Daily News reported that the boy's body was believed to have been dragged by the crocodile approximately 90km away from where the attack transpired.

The area where the incident took place is notorious for attacks by enormous crocodiles

Independent UK claims that the Philippines' booming development and population have forced humans and crocodiles to share the same spaces, leading to repeated attacks.

Palawan Council for Sustainable Development spokesperson Jovic Fabello told Saksi, "Since 2015, we've never had a year with zero (crocodile) attacks."


Penang Government To Investigate Demolition Of Historical 138-Year-Old Tomb

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

The grave belonging to historical figure Foo Teng Nyong has been demolished, and the Penang government will be launching an investigation into the parties who are responsible

According to The Star, State Tourism and Creative Economy Committee chairman Yeoh Soon Hin said that a permit was initially granted to developers on 18 March by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP). Their permit was also extended on 26 July. They were only permitted to exhume the grave and ensure the tomb site was preserved."It was clearly stated that the permit only allowed [the developers] to exhume the remains but not to destroy the historic tomb," Yeoh said in a statement made on Monday, 29 August.A team of historical investigators from the George Town World Heritage Incorporated (GTWHI) has been designated to survey the demolition site and investigate the issue.Meanwhile, the developers have been issued a stop-work order by the MBPP until further notice.

Back in early March, the landowner of the burial site area wrote a proposal to the city council with the intention of building a high-rise apartment on top of the burial grounds

According to Malay Mail, Penang State Heritage commissioner Rosli Nor mentioned that the owner had asked for permission to exhume and demolish Foo's grave. The landowner also submitted another proposal to cut up the grave, exhume the body, and relocate the burial site.However, due to the grave's unique design and the carvings that decorate the tomb, Rosli recommended that the grave be preserved and that the landowner turn the burial site into a green area. In order to protect the grave, he also recommended that the MBPP offer the developers incentives to encourage them to retain the burial site.The future of the project was still under discussion when the developers went ahead with the demolition of the tomb site.

Foo's great-grandson, Jeffery Seow, has spoken out against the demolition of his great-grandmother's grave

Back in 2 March, Seow had appealed to the Penang state government to protect Foo's grave from being demolished. But because the land no longer belonged to Seow's family, the project had to involve the authorities before any decision could be made. However, because the developers have now demolished the grave before getting permission to do so, Seow now wants the appropriate punishment to be meted out to the developers for their 'blatant disregard for authority'."The developer had no permission to do anything on the land until the issue between them and the authorities was resolved," Seow told SAYS.Seow counts the demolition of his great-grandmother's grave as a great loss to the state of Penang as well as to Malaysia. He described Foo's burial site as one of the many unique historical markers that have shaped the historical personality of the country. "The damage that has been done with the demolition and destruction of this unique, ornamented historical marker...there is no compensation that could adequately cover the outrage," he said.Seow fears that, if the developers are not held accountable for their actions,  his grandfather's grave, Chung Thye Pin, might be demolished next. He hopes that Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow will exercise his political will to ensure the developers are punished accordingly.

Foo was the third wife of Chung Keng Quee, who was appointed Kapitan Cina by the British in 1877 and later became the largest tin mine owner in Malaya

Known for his philanthropy and contributions to the community, Chung was dubbed the founder and administrator of Taiping, Perak. Chung was said to have extensively donated and contributed to the development of the economy, education, healthcare, and social welfare in Penang and Perak and was well-respected in his community. Two streets in Penang were named after him: Keng Kwee Street, which is home to the Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul, and Ah Quee Street, which houses many notable tourist hotspots in Penang. Aside from being the wife of a famous historical figure, Foo was also the mother of Chung Thye Phin, the last Kapitan Cina of Perak. At the time of his death, he was regarded as the wealthiest man in Penang as Chung owned several tin mines, mirroring his father's success. Foo was also the aunt of Foo Choo Choon, who was conferred the title of 'The Tin King', after working in Foo's husband's tin mines and running his own tin mines and business.
