Samsung’s New Galaxy S10 Is Launching Soon And The Specs Are Already Looking Impressive

While Samsung's Galaxy S10 won't be launched until the 'Unpacked' event on 21 February 2019, people are already talking about the new phone like it's already here

Here's what the Samsung Galaxy S10 lineup could look like

As seen in the rendering above, the Samsung Galaxy S10 lineup will be featuring three models, namely the Galaxy S10+, S10, and S10e. But more impressive than how it looks, the Galaxy S10 lineup boasts features and specs that are pushing for a new, higher standard of smartphones.

Here's what we know about the Samsung Galaxy S10:

1. It has a whopping 24-hour battery life

The Galaxy S10+ will have a massive 4,100 mAh battery, while the other two models will have enough juice to last you through the day—Galaxy S10 at 3,400 mAh and Galaxy S10e at 3,100 mAh.

2. You can use the excess battery to charge your other devices, like the soon-to-be-launched Galaxy Buds

Enjoy reverse wireless charging for your wearables and other devices at a max power of 9W. On a side note, you can also wirelessly charge your S10 device at a max power of 15W, which should be as fast as a wired charger.

3. It features an in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner to help you stay more secure

Image via Digit

Probably the most talked about feature of the Galaxy S10 lineup, the devices feature a fingerprint scanner that's on the screen. This allows you to unlock your device with ease and gives you full access to the screen.

4. You can enjoy an infinity display of up to 6.4 inches

Image via YouTech

Thanks to the placement of the fingerprint sensor and the punch-hole design for the selfie cameras, you get to enjoy a true infinity display without any obstructions.

5. It also packs up to 12GB of RAM, making it perfect for multitaskers and hardcore gamers

Image via YouTech

This is a clear upgrade from previous models. Even if you opt for the lower spec models, you'll still get at least a 6GB RAM, which will be more than enough for the average user.

6. It can hold up to 1TB of internal storage

Image via Wirecutter (Edited by SAYS)

As of now, it seems like Malaysia will only receive the 512GB version, but if you think about it that's already more than many PCs out there!

7. It will be one of the first smartphones to support Wi-Fi 6, giving you access to faster Internet speed

Image via Express

Wi-Fi 6 is fairly new and can improve your Internet speed at places where a large number of devices are connected. This includes congested areas like shopping malls or a smart home with many connected devices.

8. You can shoot stunning 4k videos... with the selfie camera

Image via Life of George (YouTube)

The Galaxy S10 features the world's first 4k selfie camera for video recording. This is perfect for vloggers, streamers, or videographers who can get high definition videos with just their phones.

9. You can use the phone's built-in augmented reality tools to change your hair colour, animate yourself, and more

Image via Friend With Holograms

Once you've taken the perfect selfie or video, touch up and play around with your looks using Samsung's augmented reality tools. You can even create AR Emojis of yourself and add fun stickers.

10. It comes in three different colours—black, white, and green

Image via WinFuture

The Galaxy S10e may also feature a 'canary yellow' model, but it is yet to be seen if Malaysians will be able to get their hands on it.

You can already pre-register online to stay updated

Deputy Minister: The Rakyat Is Not Going To Be Burdened At All If Emergency Is Imposed

Ali Biju, who is the Deputy Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, claims an emergency order, if imposed, won't burden the people at all

According to Ali, who is a member of Parliament (MP) from the Saratok seat in Sarawak, "the Emergency Order" did not entail military rule, curfews, or any restrictions on economic activities.He said this in a statement earlier today, 25 October, claiming that such an order will also not affect the people and businesses in any way possible as the "emergency powers" that Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is allegedly seeking only covers suspending of the Parliament."In other words, the Rakyat is not going to be burdened at all and it will be business as usual for the shopkeeper towkays and the captains of industries. Taxi drivers still get to drive and Tan Sri's still get to invest in the stock market," he said."Only Parliament would be suspended, political activities limited, and wannabe superheroes cannot get to spook anyone with their strong, convincing, and formidable superpowers."He stressed that the people and economy will not face any problem.

According to the Bersatu politician, "disagreeing with an emergency means agreeing to [an] election during a raging pandemic"

Ali was responding to former attorney-general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas, who yesterday, 24 October, expressed concerns with about the possible declaration of an emergency and called it unconstitutional.The Deputy Minister, who has an engineering degree, said that he would like to compare the "constitutional legalese" of Tommy Thomas against his "engineering logic" in a time of the pandemic.Based on which, "the legalese of Tommy Thomas simply defies the rational logic of an engineer"."Let us all be rational and reasonable people for once and hit the pause button. I, for one, call for less politicking but instead more working on what really matter [sic] for the nation —stabilising the government, fighting COVID-19, and restoring our economy," Ali said in his statement.He stated that when "the government hits the pause button on politicking and instead focuses on fighting COVID-19 and healing the economy" the rakyat will not get hurt.

"Endeavor to me is similar to what athletes need.

"As an entrepreneur, Sharma has high self-awareness, something entrepreneurs should have. This has led to the indication of him as an entrepreneur to be able to understand his strengths and weaknesses."Sharma truly understands what people need and has a deep understanding of his space and the market. Paired with his outstanding ability to execute, it definitely would not take long for Accendo Technologies to scale, especially with the help of Endeavor's global footprint," he shared.

Moving forward, Endeavor Malaysia will start working with Accendo Technologies, extending its network of mentors and resources to grow the company

The Selection Process at Endeavor Malaysia is vital to growing entrepreneurs faster.

BAT will increase prices of all its cigarette brands today (Sept 30, 2013). The quantum of the increase was not stated.

        i4u.com

The company's pricing decision took into account the loss of legal volumes due to illegal cigarettes, consequential loss of industry's and retailers' margins and ongoing inflationary pressure.

        i4u.com

This is following a sudden 14% increase in tobacco excise duties by the government

British American Tobacco Malaysia (BAT), which holds a 63% share of the local cigarette market, is shocked over the increase of tobacco excise by 14%, calling it excessive and a move that will play directly into the hands of criminal syndicates of illegal cigarettes trade.

        malaysiandigest.com

BAT managing director Stefano Clini says the drastic tax increase is shocking and disappointing

BAT managing director Stefano Clini said, "This announcement is indeed shocking and disappointing."

        malaysiandigest.com

"The industry is not opposed to excise increases and has always advocated for a moderate and gradual approach, precisely to avoid the current situation of a sudden and huge excise hit after 2 years of no excise increases."

        malaysiandigest.com

The cigarette maker said in a statement yesterday, the excise price increase will put considerable stress on disposable income and exacerbate rising cost of living, especially after the recent hike in petrol prices and inflation.

"Hopefully the government will enhance its enforcement efforts and seriously consider deploying more deterrent laws such as mandatory imprisonment for dealing in illegal cigarettes, to curb the growth of this national scourge," BAT said.

"Sakitnya Hati!" - Wanita Ini Bayar RM268 Untuk Kek Hari Jadi, Tapi Dapat Macam Playdough

Bila sebut pasal hari jadi, kita mesti nak sediakan kejutan untuk orang yang tersayang sebab sambutan itu hanyalah setahun sekali

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Siew Yen Photography

Tetapi, insiden yang terjadi kepada seorang wanita baru-baru ini telah mengundang kemarahan dan kerugian kepada dirinya.Menurut sumber, wanita yang bernama Sam Faulkner dari England itu telah menghubungi seorang pembuat kek tempatan dan memintanya membuat kek untuk hari jadi suaminya.Dia meminta baker tersebut membuat dekorasi kek sebagaimana yang dihasilkan oleh kedai terkemuka, Caker Street.

Kek itu berharga lebih RM250 tetapi akhirnya hampa sebab lain yang diminta, lain pula yang dapat

Image via MStar

Faulkner telah membayar harga kek tersebut yang berharga RM268 selepas baker itu bersetuju untuk mengambil tempahannya.Difahamkan, kek yang ditempah untuk hari jadi suaminya yang ke 30 sepatutnya berlatarkan warna biru air tasik yang dihiasi dengan dekorasi ikan melompat, batang pancing, tumbuhan dan papan tanda bertulis 'Happy Birthday'.Namun, wanita itu kecewa apabila melihat rupa kek yang ditempahnya itu seperti playdough dan dibuat oleh kanak-kanak. Jauh beza dengan apa yang diinginkannya.

Rupa-rupanya ramai yang sudah 'terkena' dengan baker tersebut sebelum ini

Selepas ibunya memuat naik insiden itu di media sosial, mereka dihubungi ramai individu yang pernah mengalami nasib yang sama seperti mereka.Faulkner cuba untuk hubungi baker tersebut namun nombornya sudah di blocked dan Facebook page kedai itu juga telah dipadam.Akhirnya Faulkner berjaya mendapat pulangan duit hanya RM80, namun dia tetap bawa kes itu kepada Piawaian Perdagangan kerana tidak mahu lebih ramai menjadi mangsa penipuan tersebut.

Semoga insiden ini menjadi iktibar buat semua peniaga online dan juga pengajaran kepada para pengguna supaya lebih berhati-hati!


Study Shows Malaysians Waste Enough Food To Feed 12 Million People 3 Times A Day

Malaysians throw away 16,688 tonnes (16,688,000kg) of food on a daily basis, according to a study conducted by Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp)

Image via Vacuum Sealer

At the launch of the 'Value Food No Waste' campaign, SWCorp deputy chief executive officer Mohammad Diah Wahari revealed that the figure is based on a study conducted last year, New Straits Times reported.

The results indicate that the amount of food wastage in Malaysia is "enough to feed 12 million people three times a day"

Image via Top 10 List Online

"On top of that, the amount rises by about 15% to 20% during festive seasons," Mohammad Diah explained.

Image via DNAIndia

"That is why SWCorp is running a campaign to educate the public on efforts to appreciate food, include via our 'Value Food No Waste' campaign," he said.

In lessening the rate of food wastage in the country, SWCorp plans to widen the campaign in order to also benefit the needy

Image via Simply Giving

"For a start, we are working with several hotels in each state. We are focusing on food at buffet lines which have yet to be touched and still in good condition... this will be distributed to those in need," he said.

Image via New Straits Times

Diah said that he is confident that the campaign could be made into a major one considering the large number of hotels in Malaysia, according to New Straits Times.

Last year, it was reported that an average of 700,000kg food is wasted in Penang daily:

                People In Penang Throw Away 700,000KG Of Food Every Day

That makes up 40% of the average 1,750 tonnes of solid waste in Penang daily.

They Cursed Her To Hell But Malaysian Model Tuti Isn't About To Quit Asia's Next Top Model

Meet Nuraini Noor, or fondly known as Tuti. She is the first Malaysian model of Malay ethnicity to qualify for the reality show, Asia's Next Top Model.

This is also not the first time Tuti is competing in a modelling competition. In 2012, she emerged as the champion of X Top Model Search Malaysia and X Walk, becoming well known for her edgy looks and fierce struts.

While most Malaysians are excited and cheering Tuti on, a separate group of locals have decided to take on the role of moral polices and have been spurting harsh criticisms at Tuti for joining a modelling competition

A netizen has renamed the show as Next Top Neraka

One of the comment reads, "Next Top Neraka bila lagi... bangganye aku melayu islam dapat sampai tahap tu." (When will Next Top Hell be... I'm so proud that a Malay Muslim has reached that point). Another netizen commented, "Saya tak nak sokong dan suhabat kerana tak nak join dia masuk neraka," which translates into "I will not support this because I don't want to join her in hell."

Referring to Tuti's participation in the fourth cycle of Asia's Next Top Model as a disaster for the Malay community, armchair activists have lashed out, saying that female models will be asked to wear inappropriate clothing and be in close proximity with men

Some are very certain that this is a clear sign that the world is coming to an end...

Thankfully, a large group of Malaysians have expressed their full support for Tuti, mostly complimenting her for being an excellent model with  "mesmerising walk"

Responding to the disturbing remarks, Tuti has humbly said that while she respects everyone's right to an opinion, she is just a girl who is "chasing her dreams"

"Different people have different point[s] of view and I am not in control of that. I respect each and everyone's opinion," said Tuti, in an email interview with BBC."I don't like to put labels on anything. I'm a citizen of the world. I'm that kind of girl who chase[s] her dreams."The 24-year-old said she did not face such controversy in the past when she took part and won modelling competitions in Malaysia.As a Muslim model, "that really depends on how you approach the task. You need to be open to the producers, photographer, stylist and everyone involved on issues such as this and the sensitivities attached to it.""At the end of the day, the ultimate goal is to produce good photos and to fulfil your brief and that's what I intend to do every time," she said.

As technology continues to evolve, so do our mobile devices and their capabilities

Image via PHANDROID

If you're looking for a dashcam, but use an Android phone, it may be worth your while to wait for this new Android update.According to 9TO5Google, an upcoming Android update will allow Pixel phones and selected Android devices to function as a dashcam. As the name implies, the feature can record video and audio while you're driving. It would be better to have a car mount installed at an appropriate location, so the recording can provide helpful information and necessary evidence in the event of an unexpected situations such as accidents.

The feature can be accessed through a new 'Dashcam' prompt in the "Personal Safety" section on the home page of selected Android devices

Image via The Verge/9TO5Google

It also appears that Google has built this feature with convenience in mind, as you will be able to launch the dashcam feature automatically when you connect to your car's Bluetooth system, whether it's the stereo or infotainment system. It also ends automatically when you disconnect at the end of your journey. Finally, to save on storage, the recordings of the dashcam feature will be deleted automatically after three days unless you choose to save them beforehand.

Sounds pretty neat, right? Let us know what you think of this feature!

Netizens Debate Form 3 Textbook Question On Incest And Sexual Grooming

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

A multiple-choice question from what looks like an online quiz for Malaysian secondary school students has caused quite a stir online due to its sensitive subject matter

The question, which was shared on Reddit as well as in a Facebook group, asks what a student would do if their grandfather requested to shower together.Four possible answers were given:– Push your grandfather until he falls down– Firmly decline your grandfather's request– Accept your grandfather's request– Splash water at your grandfather's face

Image via Reddit

With most Malaysians being unfamiliar with the new education syllabus, the question garnered polarising views

Without context, a number of Malaysian netizens were concerned that such a distressing scenario was presented in an exam and criticised the question for the way it was phrased.

Image via Facebook

Some worried it could lead to students having unwanted thoughts towards family members.

Image via Facebook

Meanwhile, others felt the question on sexual grooming among family members is one of many taboo issues that students should be taught about in school.

Image via Facebook

Eventually, some users identified that the question came from the Form 3 Pendidikan Jasmani dan Pendidikan Kesihatan (Physical and Health Education) textbook

The same photo can be found in a series of other scenarios in the Reproductive Health and Social Education (PEERS) chapters of the Form 3 textbook published in 2018.Other scenarios asked the students to discuss what they would do if their father came into their bedroom at an inappropriate time, an older sibling asked them to watch porn with them, or if an uncle touched them in inappropriate places.The chapter on 'Family Relations' is meant to teach students the meaning of unwelcomed sexual advances from family members and incest.According to the textbook's table of contents, PEERS covers topics such as gender and identity, discrimination, drug abuse, relationships, sexually transmitted diseases, and exploitation.

[PENDAPAT] Kenapa Perlu Kaitkan Status Bea Meow Ini Dengan Agama Islam?

Pada 11 Mei lalu, seorang pengguna Facebook, Bea Meow berkongsi satu pengalaman sedih melalui satu status tentang bagaimana dia melihat seorang lelaki memukul pasangannya sebelum menaiki pesawat tetapi langsung tidak diendahkan orang ramai

Gambar yang dimuat naik Bea Meow menunjukkan seorang lelaki berbaju merah yang dikatakan memukul pasangannya di hadapan orang ramai semasa hendak menaiki pesawat Malindo Air dari Sabah ke Kuala Lumpur.

Baca status penuh Bea Meow di bawah:

Image via Facebook Bea Meow

Saya yakin, audiens yang membaca artikel ini boleh memahami Bahasa Inggeris dengan baik. Oleh itu, saya rasa tidak perlulah untuk saya terjemahkan status di atas kepada Bahasa Melayu.

Jadi, apakah isu yang cuba disampaikan oleh Bea Meow melalui status tersebut?

Pertama: Mentaliti orang Asia yang kadang-kadang tampak seperti tiada harapan.Kedua: Sikap "jangan jaga tepi kain orang" dalam masyarakat kita yang semakin lama semakin membimbangkan.Ketiga: Kelakuan tidak sopan di tempat awam yang semakin berleluasa.Keempat: Keganasan terhadap wanita mahupun lelaki yang tidak sepatutnya dibiarkan.

Status ini berjaya mencuri perhatian ramai dan terus menjadi viral dalam sekelip mata. Menerusi ruangan komen, orang ramai menyokong tindakan Bea Meow yang lantang bersuara dan mengutuk perbuatan mereka yang hanya mendiamkan diri.

Image via Facebook Bea Meow

Image via Facebook Bea Meow

Image via Facebook Bea Meow

Walau bagaimanapun, ada satu perkara yang sangat membingungkan saya, yang mungkin anda juga turut sependapat

Perkara ini bukan berkenaan status tersebut, tetapi tentang bagaimana sesetengah pihak memberi respon yang langsung tidak ada kena mengena dengan isu yang sedang dibincangkan, terutamanya golongan Islam yang ekstremis.

Bea Meow mendakwa terdapat beberapa orang Islam menghantar mesej secara peribadi di Facebook untuk membela lelaki tersebut dan menyuruhnya untuk mendalami ajaran Al-Quran

Bea Meow tidak sangka statusnya itu akan dikritik.

Bea Meow berkata dia tidak pernah bermaksud untuk menganak-tirikan Islam, sebaliknya dia hanya marah kerana tiada sesiapa yang bertindak untuk bersuara dan berkata apa-apa ketika serangan itu berlaku di Lapangan Terbang Kota Kinabalu."Tiba-tiba saya menerima banyak mesej inbox di Facebook mengatakan kepada saya supaya 'Jangan jaga tepi kain orang', dan saya tidak memahami al-Quran.""Ramai daripada mereka memberitahu saya bahawa dalam al-Quran, terdapat satu usul dimana suami boleh mendisiplinkan isteri. Pertama, dia boleh memberi nasihat kepadanya, kemudian tidak berkongsi katil semasa tidur.""Dan jika kedua-dua perkara itu masih tidak berjaya, si suami mempunyai hak untuk memukul isterinya secara ringan, bukan sehingga cedera, demi mendisiplinkannya," kata Bea Meow.

Dan disebabkan itu, Bea Meow berhasrat untuk memadam status tersebut kerana telah menyinggung perasaan sesetengah umat Islam di negara.

Saya sebagai seorang yang beragama Islam sangat faham tentang isu suami mendisiplinkan isteri itu. Tetapi persoalannya di sini, adakah Islam membenarkan keganasan terhadap wanita, tidak kiralah di tempat awam atau secara tersembunyi?

Tidak sama sekali.Adakah hanya kerana mereka suami isteri, mereka boleh buat apa saja sesuka hati mereka di tempat awam? Tidak juga sama sekali.

Dan lebih menghairankan, adakah Bea Meow menyebut perkataan "Melayu" atau "Islam" atau "Agama" dalam status berkenaan? LANGSUNG TIADA!

Jadi bagaimana isu Islam, al-Quran, dan isu suami isteri ini boleh timbul??Satu perkara yang Bea Meow tulis hanyalah "tudung". Ini disebabkan wanita yang ditampar itu memang tidak dinafikan memakai tudung. Adakah hanya kerana perkataan "tudung" itu diguna pakai, ramai umat Islam tersinggung?Tak percaya? Cuba anda baca semula status Bea Meow. Saya berani jamin beliau langsung tidak ada menyebut tiga perkataan sensitif di atas.Saya lihat, masih ada golongan Islam di Malaysia yang seperti tidak faham dengan fokus utama status tersebut. Walaupun ia langsung tidak ada kaitan dengan soal agama, golongan ini tetap ingin mengaitkannya dengan agama Islam.

Seperti yang telah saya senaraikan tadi, ada 4 perkara yang cuba disampaikan dalam status tersebut, dan soal agama, Islam, Melayu, dan perkauman langsung tidak ada dalam senarai

Kenapa perlu lari daripada fokus utama?Kenapa perlu kaitkan Islam, agama dan perkauman dalam perkara yang langsung tiada kaitan?Adakah terlalu sukar untuk orang ramai melihat kepada mesej utama yang cuba disampaikan melalui status tersebut?Apa yang orang kita nak sebenarnya?Soalan-soalan ini anda perlu tanya, bincang dan jawab sendiri.

Dalam pada itu, ramai yang memberi semangat kepada Bea Meow untuk tidak memadam status tersebut kerana ia langsung tiada kaitan dengan isu agama mahupun kaum. Fokus utama adalah tentang keganasan di tempat awam.

Kes ini juga lebih kurang sama seperti yang dialami kakak kepada Leroux Yap pada April, apabila tiada seorang pun yang berani bersuara ketika dia diherdik dengan kasar oleh seorang lelaki tidak dikenali.

Yang menjadi tanda tanya ialah, setiap hari, sering kali saya lihat rakyat Malaysia berbilang bangsa dan berlainan agama makan bersama di satu meja, dan semua orang tampak sangat mesra antara satu sama lain. Jadi kenapa isu sebegini masih timbul?

Ini adalah salah satu perkara yang selalu saya persoalkan dalam minda saya. Berdasarkan pemerhatian dari lensa mata saya sendiri, saya lihat rakyat Malaysia tidak ada masalah untuk hidup dalam keadaan majmuk. Kita tidak ada masalah untuk hidup berjiran, kunjung-mengunjung ke rumah, bertegur sapa, menjadi kawan baik, makan satu meja, bekerja dalam satu pejabat dan macam-macam lagi. Masing-masing boleh menghormati adat, budaya, dan kepercayaan kaum dan agama yang berlainan.Tetapi, realiti kehidupan sebenar ini sangat jauh berbeza di alam maya.Saya lihat, kita semua lebih cenderung dengan pemikiran "agama siapa atau kaum mana paling hebat" dan masing-masing tidak melepaskan peluang menjadi hero, jaguh dan wira dalam peperangan papan kunci.Kita seperti tidak serik ingin mencetuskan perbalahan antara perkauman dan agama dalam apa-apa topik perbincangan, walaupun sesuatu perkara itu langsung tiada kaitan.

Apa yang saya lihat sekarang, mentaliti masyarakat Malaysia kini semakin tenat

Walaupun dihidang dengan pelbagai berita dari pelbagai sudut pandangan di era teknologi ini, pemikiran rakyat kita masih sempit. Satu peribahasa yang paling tepat dalam menggambarkan situasi ini ialah "bagai katak bawah tempurung." Tetapi bukan semuanya begitu.

Mentaliti rakyat Malaysia masih lagi di "kelas ketiga". Dan walaupun kita bakal mencapai status negara maju menjelang 2020, saya tidak nampak mentaliti kita akan melonjak ke "kelas pertama" dalam masa 5 tahun ini.

Image via themalaysianinsider.com

Sekiranya sengketa agama dan perkauman ini masih tidak selesai (yang mana saya lihat tak akan selesai dalam masa terdekat), selagi itulah negara Malaysia tidak boleh maju kehadapan.Walaupun dipenuhi hutan konkrit beserta projek mega bertaraf dunia kelas pertama yang menelan belanja berbilion Ringgit, tidak ada apa yang boleh kita lakukan untuk menambah baik sistem pemikiran dalam minda rakyat Malaysia.Kita sendiri yang perlu berubah mulai sekarang. Jangan hanya mahu mengubah kerajaan, mentaliti itu yang lebih penting. Ayuh bangun dan UBAH!


Couple Goes Missing From Hospital After Their 25-Day-Old Baby Tests COVID-19 Positive

A couple missing from the Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital (HSIP) in Kuala Krai, Kota Bharu, since Thursday night, 4 February, have yet to be located. They were scheduled to undergo a COVID-19 screening test.

The Orang Asli couple from Kampung Pos Tohoi near Gua Musang had been taken to the hospital after their 25-day-old baby girl tested positive for COVID-19, reported New Straits Times.According to Kelantan police chief Datuk Shafien Mamat, while the couple fled the premises at about 9.30pm on Thursday, police only received a report on the incident on Friday morning, 5 February.It was not reported if the couple fled with their daughter.

Shafien stated that while the wife was identified as 33-year-old Elina Aling, the identity of the husband has yet to be ascertained

One of the hospital personnel who was on duty at the emergency ward claimed that the husband and wife disappeared after they were asked to undergo the COVID-19 screening test."She tried to locate them at the hospital but failed. She then lodged a report at the Kuala Krai police station," said Shafien, adding that a special task force was formed on Friday to track down the couple."The police team had gone to look for the couple at their settlement, but they were not found there. A relative said the couple did not return to their home," the Kelantan police chief said.

"Am I Doing This Wrong?" — M'sian Mothers Share What Their Pregnancy Journeys Look Like

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

Hopping into a new chapter of life, be it adulthood or parenthood, can be exciting and nerve-racking at the same time

It's totally normal to be overwhelmed when starting a new journey, especially one you have yet to experience. From wondering how things will turn out to worrying about the challenges you will face along the way, your concerns about this new stage of life are valid. The beginning is always the scariest, but things do get better with time! With pregnancy, no one mother will have the same experience, whether it's pregnancy symptoms and cravings, or the process of childbirth and dealing with physical changes.

Want to know what actually mothers have gone through, from pregnancy to early parenthood?
We collaborated with Prudential and got three amazing mothers at different pregnancy stages to share their experiences

The three mothers, Leia, Caroline, and Hada, sat down with us to share their pregnancy journeys and ideal birth plans. Check out the video below where they spill the tea about motherhood:

×

Caroline confessed that her imagination of childbirth was a tad bit unrealistic, while Leia thought hers would be similar to her mum, awww <3

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Caroline: "You think everything is going to be fine, everything is sunshine and rainbows. But then eventually you find out reality is far from [it]."Leia: "My ideal childbirth experience would be, of course, like my mum's, right? 'Cause she's always telling me like 'Awhh, you know what, your body will know what to do, you don't have to be nervous, you don't have to be scared, yea, you just push the baby out, it's like pooping.' So.."

Leia also told us that it was difficult to see her body go through changes physically

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Leia: "I'm the heaviest I've ever been. It's a bit hard, you know, with the body changes and everything, you know. Will there be any stretch marks? How do I get back my body to my usual self before birth?"

When it came to sharing whether postpartum depression is real, Hada, who has a 19-month-old, broke down thinking about her situation

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Hada: "When motherhood hit me, you know, we always think that 'Am I doing this wrong? Am I doing this right? What is this motherhood?' But at the end of the day, we just want our children and us to be happy. After a while, I realised (I should) appreciate even the little things and stop comparing my motherhood with other mothers, it all, you know, turned out better."

Hada advises mothers-to-be to have a prenatal protection plan, like how she did, that covers both the mum and baby

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Hada: "It's good to have like jaundice coverage, because a lot of insurance plans, they don't cover for the incubation period, under the blue light. So, from there she (Hada's daughter) got a phototherapy. It was quite a lot for us to pay."

Although motherhood is different for every mum, the ultimate goal is the same — to give their child the best and see them grow healthily.
Prudential understands the importance of providing support to both mum and baby during the pregnancy journey, which is why they created a comprehensive prenatal plan, PRUMy Child Plus, to provide mental and physical protection, during and after pregnancy.

If you're a soon-to-be parent and are looking for a prenatal plan that provides coverage from as early as 13 weeks of pregnancy, and protects the child until the age of 100, then PRUMy Child Plus is your best choice. With PRUMy Child Plus, not only will your baby's welfare be taken care of, but yours will be too, as it covers nine pregnancy complications with a lump sum payout of up to RM8,000, as well as mental wellness during pregnancy, one year after giving birth, and many more.Have a look at some of the other benefits of PRUMy Child Plus for mum and baby:- In the event you have an early delivery via emergency C-section before your baby is 36 weeks old, you will receive a payout of up to RM8,000- Receive up to RM50,000 yearly for hospitalisation until the age of seven for babies with structural congenital conditions, such as cleft palate, abnormal limbs, or any of the 27 listed congenital conditions including heart defects, cerebral palsy, and spina bifida- Children diagnosed with developmental disorders such as autism or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will receive yearly support of up to RM8,000 until the age of seven

PRUMy Child Plus has three plans, starting from RM260 per month to suit your different needs

You can rest assured during your pregnancy journey knowing that all their plans include high medical coverage with a guaranteed auto-increasing limit every year, along with critical illness coverage and basic protection that protects the child until the age of 100.Plus, PRUMy Child Plus also includes accidental coverage that protects the child up to 70 years of age.

The Day Charlotte Found Out Her Buff Boyfriend Wasn't Just Some Other Guy...

Meet 20-year-old Charlotte and her 23-year-old boyfriend. They've been together for two years and plan to marry and have kids together. But there is a twist.

Image via mirror.co.uk

When pretty Charlotte Urie first met her boyfriend Kieran Moloney, she was instantly attracted to his boyish good looks and muscular body.

        closeronline.co.uk

Now the pair, who have been together for two years are hoping to get married and start a family

        closeronline.co.uk

One month into their dating life, Kieran told Charlotte that he isn't a guy. He was born a girl.

Image via news.com.au

Now 23, Mr Moloney says telling his girlfriend after one month of dating was terrifying.

        tvnz.co.nz

Charlotte says: "Kieran sat me down and said he had something to tell me. He then blurted out that he'd been born a girl called Ciara. I was so surprised. He was so manly. I never had any suspicions."

        dailymail.co.uk

Wait, what? How can it be? Look at him! Charlotte had no idea of course, "he's very masculine and has a great body."

Image via ytimg.com

"He's very masculine and has a great body. I've never had any concerns about dating someone transgender, biology doesn't matter."

        tvnz.co.nz

"I would never have guessed Kieran's secret, but as soon as he told me he'd been born a girl it didn't matter to me. I was surprised, but I love him for who he is and see him as a man," said Charlotte, a barista from Camden, London.

        mirror.co.uk

Most girlfriends would freak out by now, but Charlotte took the revelation surprisingly well and does not mind his past at all

Image via news.com.au

Kieran says: "So many girlfriends before had been embarrassed by me and I didn't want any more rejection. I felt such a connection to Charlotte I didn't want her to end the relationship. So when she reacted like it was nothing, I felt so relieved. Finally I met someone who liked me for me."

        mirror.co.uk

Charlotte added: "Kieran was really nervous and told me he'd understand if I just wanted to be friends. We talked it through for hours. I knew I still loved him and wanted to be with him. It didn't matter he'd been born a girl."

        mirror.co.uk

Kieran said that he never felt comfortable as a girl, even from an early age of four

At age 10, before Moloney's transformation
Image via mirror.co.uk

Kieran, who also works as a Barista, had been unhappy with his gender since he was four years old. He had no interest in girly things and cried if his Mum put him in a dress and when he started primary school, he became a target for bullies.

        dailymail.co.uk

He said: "Kids didn't understand why I was different. I had no friends and I changed schools five times. The only time I was happy was when people mistook me for a boy."

        dailymail.co.uk

Many girls at that age dream of being a princess but for Kieran, he only wanted to be a boy!

Image via shqiptarja.com

He said: "I hated seeing my breasts develop and I was jealous of the boys at school when their voices dropped and they started shaving. I hated being a girl."

        mirror.co.uk

He cut his hair into a short spiky bob and wore sports bras and baggy tops to hide his feminine figure.

        mirror.co.uk

He then began his transformation at age 16 by taking hormone tablets and working out more

After seeing a counsellor aged 16, Kieran was finally diagnosed as transgender. He says: "I started taking hormone tablets which lowered my voice and gave me more body hair. I loved the changes."

        mirror.co.uk

By 17, fine hairs started to grow on Kieran's face and with a rigorous gym workout, Kieran's body was transforming into a man's. He began binding his breasts with sports tape, spending £20 a week in a quest to hide any hint of being a female.

        mirror.co.uk

With support from his family, he was finally able to undergo a double mastectomy

Image via ilmessaggero.it

In November 2009, aged 18, Kieran started monthly testosterone injections and, two years later, had a £5k double mastectomy, paid for by his mum. He remembers: "When I saw the results I felt euphoric. I finally had a man's upper body, something I'd only dreamed about."

        mirror.co.uk

Kieran says: "People can't believe I used to be a girl, and neither can I."

        dailymail.co.uk

I guess it's true that love conquers all! The couple wants to have a family together and plans to use Kieran's best friend as a sperm donor.

Image via dailymail.co.uk

The couple have now been together for two years and are hoping to marry and start a family using Kieran's best friend as a sperm donor.

        dailymail.co.uk

Smitten Charlotte said: “Kieran’s my soulmate and we’d be the best parents. We’ll explain his background to our kids when they’re old enough they’ll have two loving parents, that’s the most important thing.”

Kerap Tinggalkan Solat Tapi Ingin Berubah? Ikuti Cara Qadha Solat Fardhu Yang Ditinggalkan

Solat merupakan ibadah yang penting dan wajib dilakukan di samping membentuk peribadi manusia kerana ianya mampu menghalang seorang Muslim daripada melakukan perkara mungkar, iaitu perkara salah dan terlarang

Image via Bombastics

Bukan itu sahaja, solat juga dapat memberi ketenangan jiwa, tidak kira sama ada ketika seseorang itu dalam kesusahan atau dalam kegembiraan. Solat dari sudut bahasa beerti doa atau memohon kebajikan dan pujian manakala dari sudut syarak pula, solat diertikan “beberapa ucapan dan perbuatan yang dimulai dengan takbir disudahi dengan salam, dilakukan dengan keadaan beribadah kepada Allah S.W.T dengan menurut segala syarat yang telah ditentukan." Solat diwajibkan kepada seluruh umat islam yang telah baligh, berakal, dan suci daripada hadas kecil dan besar.

Image via Islam Know

Namun begitu, ramai di kalangan kita yang pernah tertinggal solat fardhu sama ada secara sengaja mahupun tidak sengaja bahkan ada yang tidak menunaikan solat fardhu sehingga bertahun lamanya

Image via The Coverage

Boleh jadi seseorang itu tertinggal solat atau tidak menunaikan solat fardhu kerana masih jahil agama, lagha, leka dengan dunia, kesibukkan bekerja, malas dan sebagainya tetapi walau apa pun alasan hutang solat fardhu wajib diganti kerana hukum meninggalkan solat fardhu adalah berdosa besar.

Image via SAYS

Ayat ini menunjukkan bahawa solat fardhu menjadi kewajipan orang Islam dan mempunyai waktunya yang telah ditetapkan.Pengarang al-Fiqh al-Manhaji  menyebut: Orang yang meninggalkan kerana mengingkari hukum wajibnya atau sengaja mempersendakannya akan menjadi kafir dan terkeluar daripada agama Islam.

Image via Kaki Letup

Dalam naskhah tersebut ada menyatakan sesiapa yang meninggalkan solat fardhu secara sengaja wajib bertaubat dan sekiranya dia mengingkari, dia akan dihukum bunuh sebagai seorang murtad dan mayatnya tidak boleh dimandikan, dikafankan, disembahyangkan serta dikebumikan di tanah perkuburan orang Islam kerana dia bukan lagi di kalangan mereka. Sementara itu, sekiranya dia telah berubah ke arah yang lebih baik dan ingin kembali ke pangkal jalan, dia wajib mengqadha semula kesemua solat fardhu yang telah ditinggalkannya sejak akil baligh.

Cara qadha solat fardhu yang sudah lama ditinggalkan

Bagi mereka yang ingin ganti atau qadha solat fardhu yang sudah bertahun lamanya ditinggalkan boleh melakukannya dengan menunaikan qadha solat fardhu bermula dari sekarang semampu yang mungkin walaupun secara beransur-ansur sehingga selesai di samping perlu bertaubat kepada Allah SWT.

Image via SAYS

Mereka hendaklah menghitung solat yang ditinggalkan dengan ghalib zan atau yakin supaya dapat diqadhakan semua solat yang pernah ditinggalkan.Tapi bagaimana ingin mengetahui selama mana perlu diganti solat fardhu? Menurut Ustaz Azhar Idrus andai kita telah qadha solat fardhu melebihi solat fardhu yang pernah ditinggalkan, kita akan merasa satu perasaan di dalam hati yang meyakinkan kita bahawa solat qada kita telah cukup. InsyaAllah.Penerangan adalah seperti video di bawah.

×

Untuk memudahkan qadha solat fardhu, seseorang itu boleh melakukan solat qadha selepas solat fardhu misalnya selepas melakukan solat fardhu zohor disambung terus dengan solat qadha zohor dan begitulah untuk waktu-waktu solat fardhu yang lain.Solat qadha juga boleh dilakukan 5 waktu solat qadha sekali gus sebelum tidur atau ketika tengah malam semampu yang mungkin.Sebagai infomasi, solat qadha fardhu boleh dilakukan pada bila-bila masa kecuali ulama' kata haram untuk qadha solat fardhu semasa khatib sedang naik di atas mimbar untuk membaca khutbah. Wallahualam.Informasi dipetik daripada laman web rasmi Pejabat Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan.

Tiada Siapa Sertai Kelas Online Cikgu Ini, Tapi Akhirnya Anak Sendiri Sahaja Yang Masuk

Pelaksanaan pembelajaran atas talian telah lama dipraktikkan di negara-negara maju kerana ia dipercayai mampu memberikan pelbagai manfaat dan kebaikan

Seiring dengan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan Malaysia bagi membendung penularan wabak Covid-19, kaedah pembelajaran atas talian merupakan suatu keperluan.Ini termasuk bagi universiti tempatan, universiti swasta dan tidak ketinggalan sekolah-sekolah di Malaysia yang tiada pilihan lain dengan menggunakan kaedah pengajaran dan pembelajaran secara maya.Ianya bagi memastikan silibus pengajaran dapat disampaikan dengan sebaik mungkin dan sesi pembelajaran tidak ditangguhkan.

Pelajar tak ambil kisah kelas online yang dibuat cikgu

Namun, lain pula dengan kisah yang viral baru-baru apabila seorang gadis di laman Twitternya menceritakan pengalaman bapanya yang hanya menghadap laptop seorang diri kerana tiada seorang pun pelajarnya memasuki kelas tersebut.Apa yang lebih menyedihkan, bapanya menunggu hampir setengah jam bagi pelajar-pelajarnya untuk memasuki kelas berkenaan.

Terpaksa menelefon seorang demi seorang pelajar untuk hadir

Menerusi perkongsian tersebut, cikgu tersebut juga terpaksa menelefon seorang demi seorang pelajarnya untuk meminta mereka hadir ke kelas berkenaan.Tetapi, ada yang memberi alasan sedang bekerja dan juga ada yang langsung tidak mengangkat panggilan telefon.Difahamkan pelajar-pelajar ini akan menduduki Sijil Peperiksaan Malaysia (SPM) yang dijangka bermula pada Februari tahun depan.

Kesiannya abi, dia buat class budak budak dia sorang pun tak masuk. Sampai abi nak kena call sorang sorang, tu pun diaorang tak angkat. diaorang tahu abi akan call diaorang kalau waktu hari ada class then diaorang mati kan fon — Nuha  (@skinleas) November 25, 2020

Tak sampai hati tengok bapa seorang, anak sertai kelas berkenaan

Oleh kerana sedih melihat bapanya yang menunggu seorang diri di depan laptop, gadis berkenaan mengambil keputusan untuk mendaftarkan diri dan masuk ke kelas online bapanya itu.Gadis itu kemudiannya dapat melihat reaksi bapanya yang sedikit tergelak apabila melihat anaknya yang menyertai kelas tersebut.

I nak happy kan abi, i yang join class abi  nampak la abi gelak sikit  pic.twitter.com/4bTLJTERan— Nuha  (@skinleas) November 25, 2020
