The Election Commission chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Hashim Abdullah has debunked claims that 30 September is the last day to register as a voter in order for Malaysians to be eligible to vote in the 14th General Elections. In a statement yesterday, 29 September, Hashim explained that 30 September is only the end date for 2016's third quarter registration list. For people who register after 30 September, their names will be included in the fourth quarter list of registrations. He also stressed that it's crucial for Malaysians to register as a voter right after they turn 21 instead of dilly-dallying and registering at the eleventh hour. "The EC commission encourages everyone that has yet to register as voter to take the opportunity to register immediately instead of waiting till the last minute or simply because of viral messages," added the EC chairman.

28 SEPTEMBER: There has been a lot of talk about how the 14th General Elections may be held by March 2017. If it does happen in March, you should register as a voter before 30 September 2016!

Malaysians have been slamming their keyboards, marching the streets, actively voicing out their concerns and exercising their rights hoping for sound changes that can lead to progress.  With that said, elections are the key to real changes and speculations are running high about how the 14th General Election could be held sometime next year. The 13th General Elections was held on Sunday, 5 May 2013 and according to the constitution the next election should be called on or before 24 August 2018.  In order for you to be eligible to vote in the 14th General Elections, if it is held next March, you'll have to register as a voter by 30 September 2016. Only about 13.3 million Malaysians are registered as voters while the remaining 4 million that are eligible to vote have not registered with the Election Commission.

What’s the easiest, most convenient way of registering yourself?

Kelibat Valak Muncul Dalam MRT Siap Pakai Face Mask, Buat Netizen Bikin Dekah & Terhibur

Dalam masa pandemik Covid-19 sekarang, penggunaan pelitup muka atau face mask sudah menjadi rutin harian setiap orang

Namun, ada segelintir pihak juga yang sukar untuk mematuhi arahan wajib berkenaan.Lain pula kejadian yang berlaku di Singapura apabila kelibat watak seram dalam filem The Nun iaitu 'Valak' muncul di dalam sebuah MRT yang dikesan memakai face mask.Gambar itu kemudian menjadi viral di Facebook yang telah dimuat naik oleh seorang lelaki warga Singapura yang menarik perhatian warganet.

Kesian sampai tertidur 'Valak' dalam MRT

Ketika artikel ini ditulis, gambar berkenaan telah mendapat 2k likes, 374 comments dan 2.1k shares di laman media sosial tersebut.Lelaki tersebut yang dikenali sebagai Rayz Ong itu ternampak kelibat berkenaan semasa dalam perjalanan menuju ke Stesen Newton dengan menaiki perkhidmatan MRT.Dia kemudian merasa pelik apabila terlihat seorang wanita memakai pakaian lengkap seolah-olah menyerupai watak Valak dalam filem 'The Nun'.

Image via Rayz Ong (Facebook)

Apa yang lebih kelakar, wanita berkenaan siap memakai face mask disebabkan wabak yang semakin tular pada masa ini. Dia didapati sedang berehat sambil memejam mata. Ternyata dapat dilihat face mask itu memang sudah menjadi perkara wajib yang perlu dibuat oleh semua masyarakat.

Image via Rayz Ong (Facebook)

Hantu pun tidak mahu ambil risiko kena saman

Hasil penelitian, warganet membuat andaian bahawa wanita itu memakai kostum Valak kerana ia mungkin sedang meraikan sambutan Halloween yang disambut pada 31 Oktober lepas.Disebabkan terlalu penat, dia akhirnya mengambil keputusan untuk berehat di dalam MRT tersebut tanpa menghiraukan persepsi orang di sekelilingnya.Ada juga yang menanggap sudah tentu dia tidak mahu mengambil risiko untuk disaman kerana tidak memakai face mask.

Untuk pengetahuan anda, Singapura telah memaklumkan mana-mana individu di republik itu yang didapati tidak memakai face mask akan dikenakan denda sebanyak SG$300 (RM915.42).

Rata-rata netizen juga turut meninggalkan pelbagai reaksi komen mereka menerusi posting berkenaan dan menganggap mungkin ianya adalah pakaian sempena halloween

“Gravity” Made Audiences Realise How Terrifying It Is To Be Lost In Space; This Parody Showed How Getting Lost In IKEA Can Be Just As Scary

The layout of the standard IKEA, which ensures that customers must pass through every section of the store in order to exit it, is an insufferable ploy meant to encourage impulse buys. Shopping there can be incredibly disorienting. Sort of like being stuck in space.

New York-based comedian Daniel Hubbard noticed, and he wrote this funny parody of "Gravity", which stars himself and Alex Viola.

Jalan Kek Chuan In Penang Has Been Listed As The 17th Most Beautiful Street In The World

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

New York-based interior decorating magazine House Beautiful recently curated a list where they named the most beautiful streets in the world

Titled, "40 of the Most Beautiful Streets in the World That Will Stop You in Your Tracks", the list rounds up streets across the continents for readers to bookmark before their next adventure. From Instagrammable locations to concentrated roads and even pretty passageways, the list features "pastel colours galore, unique architectural details, and the most charm.""And at the risk of sounding cliché with a quote about the journey being more important than the destination, we have to say that sometimes the most memorable parts of a vacation are the ones spent wandering around a new town without any itinerary at all," wrote Elly Leavitt, the writer of the piece.

Known as The Philosopher's Path, this street in Kyoto, Japan, placed 10th on the list.

While all 40 locations included places from Greece to South Africa, California and even Italy, a very special street in Malaysia rose to clinch the 17th spot on the list

Listing Penang, the magazine proceeded to praise George Town, in particular, for its lively street art and even more famed street food."If it's architectural eye candy you're after, head to Jalan Kek Chuan to peruse the ornately detailed shops that blend Eastern and Western designs," continued the piece.Littered with elegant yet timeless lamps, each row within the road is colourfully painted with a variety of tones that brighten up its passage with each step taken.

Out of the entire list, Penang is one of only two Southeast Asian cities to make the lineup, with the other street being Soi Romanee in Phuket at 19th place

Rounding off the top three spots on the list in ascending order is Cape Town's Bo-Kaap neighbourhood in South Africa, which placed third, while Acorn Street in Boston, Massachusetts of America placed second.Claiming the top spot at number one was Akti Pavlou, a main road alongside the Symi Harbour of Greece.Among some of the other countries to make the list included Mexico, Italy, France, Morocco, Portugal, Denmark, China, Turkey, Norway, and Egypt.

Penang's Tourism and Creative Economy Committee chairperson, Yeoh Soon Hin, believes this recognition will bring a profound impact on the state's local economy and tourism industry as a whole

"It gives me great pleasure to share with you that our very own local street — Kek Chuan Road, has been accredited as the top 17th of the most beautiful streets in the world."Amidst countless breathtaking destinations across the globe, the humble street of our state has emerged as a shining gem, captivating the hearts of visitors from every corner of the world," said the chairperson in a Facebook post.Yeoh also stated that Penang could expect an influx of curious travellers, eager to witness Kek Chuan Road in Penang.Check out Yeoh's full post below:

Kedah MB Uses DBP To Explain 'Test Drive' Meaning After Being Accused Of Breaching SOPs

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

Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor is under police investigation after he was allegedly seen going for a test drive at a vehicle sales centre in Juru Autocity, Penang, in violation of the standard operating procedures (SOPs) amidst the total lockdown

Seberang Prai Tengah district police chief ACP Shafee Abd Samad they are investigating him under Section 269 of the Penal Code and Regulation 17(1) of the Disease Prevention Measure and Control Act 2021."Police will call everyone believed to be involved in the matter including the car salesman, the Menteri Besar and those who were there to assist investigations," New Straits Times quoted him as saying.According to the report, photos and videos of a salesman and several individuals believed to be Muhammad Sanusi, who was test-driving a car at the centre, have gone viral over the weekend.This was despite the country now being placed under a two-week total lockdown.Netizens questioned how the Menteri Besar could go for a test drive when vehicle sales centres were not part of the essential services allowed to operate during the total lockdown.Meanwhile, the woman who posted the photos has since reported that she had come under attack from supporters of the Menteri Besar, ranging from religious teachers to those with political links.

Sanusi has since said that he will give full cooperation and is prepared to face any possibility after being investigated by the police

He said that he has left the matter to the authorities to investigate how they see fit."The police will decide where the statement will be taken, whether at the police station or in the (MB) office. Penang police are investigating it because the investigation paper was opened there. If the police say there is an offence and if I am charged, I am sure I will not be facing the gallows," he said today, 7 June."If there is a compound, I will pay and if the car showroom employee is compounded, I will also pay."

The Menteri Besar has also come forward to offer more clarity over the matter, stating that he was on his way to Kuala Lumpur on Friday evening and had taken a little detour to Autocity Juru to buy food

"When the driver was buying the food, I got out to see a vehicle in the adjacent shop being moved by an employee, I greeted and chatted with him for a while. I think greeting people does not violate SOPs," he said.According to Sanusi, the man introduced himself as 'Mr Ong' and explained the type and specifications of the vehicle with him sitting in the front passenger seat and his escort sitting in the rear passenger seat.Following which, the employee took him on a ride in the vehicle nearby the premises."He moved a little. He drove, not me, and he took it to an area where there was plenty of parking. He told me the price of the car was RM200,000, but I said I couldn't afford it," Sanusi added.

Sanusi, however, denied having test driven the vehicle

He said that as he was not the one driving the vehicle and merely sitting in the front passenger seat, this does not constitute 'test driving' as it has been alleged by everyone.The Kedah Mentari Besar then used the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) to explain its meaning."According to DBP, the meaning of test drive is to test the performance of the vehicle, but I did not do it and when I was looking at other vehicles, I realised that there were individuals recording us," he said.

Sanusi said that if the person, who made the recording and posted it on social media, had simply come to him to ask about the situation, he would have explained it to them to avoid any misunderstandings

"Maybe because I am a controversial Menteri Besar some people think that when they record a leader who allegedly violated the SOPs, that person will become a hero in this country," he said."I'm not saying I'm not wrong or guilty, if there is a violation of the SOPs then I apologise because it happened by chance, I like to greet people and talk. If I get a compound then I will pay."The Kedah Menteri Besar added that he will also give the person who recorded the video of him on the day a new smartphone "to make it easier for the person to record good things".

Boy In Melaka Found Dead With His Earphones Plugged Into Charging Phone

Friday morning, around 7am, a 48-year-old mother in Melaka who went to wake up her teenage son in his bedroom in Taman Merbok, Bukit Baru, found him dead

According to a report in the New Straits Times, the boy had fallen asleep with his earphones plugged into his mobile that was charging on power bank.The mother, who is a nurse, used a spare key to unlock the son's bedroom door after not getting any response from him. She found him lying motionless on the bed.

She then lodged a report at the Bukit Baru police station

Upon finding her son dead on his bed, the mother lodged a report at the Bukit Baru police station at 8.10am on Friday, 26 May.The boy's name was Syamirul Armizie Adenan and he was unemployed."The victim had both earphones on and the earphones were connected to a mobile phone, which was plugged to a power bank," State Criminal Investigation Department chief Kamaluddin Kassim was quoted saying so by the New Straits Times.

According to the CID Chief, there were burn marks on the boy's left shoulder where the power bank was placed

Kamaluddin, however, couldn't confirm if the power bank had exploded.The Melaka police had classified the case as sudden death and have sent his body to the Melaka Hospital for a post-mortem.

Back in March, a woman who was sleeping while wearing a pair of battery-operated headphones in her flight received burns to her face after the headphones exploded mid-flight

According to reports, the woman was on a flight from Beijing to Melbourne.

A Man Was Caught On Video Touching A Girl's Thigh On LRT And People Are Blaming Her

A less than a minute-long footage shot on mobile by a female passenger onboard a train on the Sri Petaling LRT line, who later posted it on Facebook has divided Malaysians on the social media

The video shows an elderly man dressed in religious robes attempting to feel a girl's exposed thigh by rubbing the fingers of his right hand against her.The girl, who is seated next to the elderly man, appears to be asleep. As such, she seems to be unaware of her abuser's actions and doesn't move.

Image via Asa Mpete/Sri Petaling 大城堡

The female passenger who shot the video on her mobile and later shared it on her Facebook profile wrote that while she had heard of such incidents, she had never witnessed one with her own eyes

Speaking about the incident, she said that it happened when she was on her way back to work in the Sri Petaling LRT Line."He stopped when he noticed the Malay couple beside me eyed him. He straight away got off the train at that stop," the female passenger added.While the original post containing the video was taken down by the female passenger, the video was later uploaded to several Facebook pages.You can watch the video here. It's 53-second-long and clearly shows the man's actions:

Feel free to share and tag#

“I have heard of such incidents but I have not seen it with my own eyes... This happen on my way to work in the Sri Petaling Line LRT.. He stopped when he noticed the Malay couple beside me eyed him. He straight away got off the train at that stop... PS: Never sleep during train rides ..Rapid KL I hope you will get your guards to be more weary of such acts... They are always on board playing with their phones and talking to their colleagues.. Feel free to share and tag... ”

Source: Asa MpetePosted by Sri Petaling  on Saturday, 24 February 2018

While Rapid KL said the matter has been forwarded to the relevant parties, people on social media are blaming the girl in the video

"To me, his misbehave to her is well deserved," commented one Facebook user, who shared the video on her wall, adding, "Why must you wear such clothing?"Girls nowadays love to dress up in such a way and call that as being modern. Every day we are seeing girls who love to wear shorts or skirt to "GROIN" length and expect a man like him not to see. Funny, right?"Her comments were endorsed by others, who said they agreed with her points.

Image via Facebook

Another user who commented on the video, asked: "how come the girl didn't feel anything?", while one commentator said to "believe and trust in religious men."Meanwhile, one Facebook user said he is not touching the girl and was trying to pull his jubah. But because the girl is sitting so close to him, he feels uncomfortable.

Image via Facebook

However, others countered the above comment saying if indeed his jubah was stuck underneath the girl's thigh, "then why do it so secretively? You're not doing anything wrong so why so sneaky and secretive?"

Luckily, there were those who saw through the man's actions on the video and called him out for his perverted behaviour

Image via Facebook

The incident and people's reaction to it, though, shouldn't come as a surprise considering what happened a couple of months ago:

You Can Now Edit Your Erroneous Captions Thanks To Instagram's Latest Update

Instagram has announced some new features in its latest update today. You can now edit your captions, saving you the embarrassment of making typos.

Image via mshcdn.com

Mistake-makers, rejoice. After years of choosing between deleting an entire photo and report it or living with the typos and ill-conceived jokes of the original, Instagram has decided to allow us to edit our captions after they've been published.

        gizmodo.com

Ever gotten in a situation where you noticed a typo in your Instagram caption and you couldn’t do anything about it? With the latest update for Instagram, it is now possible to rectify as they have added an “edit” feature under the image’s menu button. The caption change is immediate and there’s no log history like Facebook’s edit feature. So now you can save yourself from embarrassment when you accidentally post macaron as macaroon.

        soyacincau.com

Instagram is pushing an update to its Android and iOS apps today, one which introduces one of the image-sharing service’s most requested features of all time – caption editing.

        droid-life.com

This means you can even add more hashtags in your caption, compared to the current method of adding a hashtag as a comment

Image via mazumafy.com

In addition to that, Instagram users can also follow other Instagrammers recommended by the app under the "Explore" section

Image via tumblr.com

The Facebook-owned subsidiary also debuted a new discovery feature recommending accounts for users to follow under the Explore tab.

        fastcompany.com

Instagram has also improved its Explore feature, which helps you find people that you want to follow. The Explore icon is now a magnifying glass. When you open Explore, you will see a pair of tabs, Photos and People. The former remains the same as it has always been, a grid that scrolls revealing pictures and video. What has changed is the People tab, which now recommends other people whose Instagram account you might find interesting to track. The more engaged you stay with people you follow on Instagram, the longer you stay on the app. The longer you stay on the app, the more ads you view. And the more ads you view, the more money that goes into Facebook's vault.

        phonearena.com

In this update, we’re continuing to improve the Explore page on Instagram by making it faster to find people you want to follow. With this in mind, you’ll see that the Explore icon at the bottom of your screen has changed to a magnifying glass. When you open Explore, you’ll now see two tabs: Photos and People. The Photos tab has not changed. It contains the same scrolling grid of photos and videos you already know. The new People tab highlights interesting accounts for you to discover.

        instagram.com

If you haven't received your update yet, you can do so if you're an iPhone user on the Apple store or an Android user on the Google Play store


22 Things People From Other States Realise When They Move To KL For The First Time

1. Traffic jams are a daily occurrence, but they can also be very unpredictable

Image via Journey of life

3pm also jam? Rain also jam?

2. That's why you must plan trips wayyyy ahead of time

Image via Jom Magazine

3. Even so, there are still times when you run late for meetings

Image via Tenor

"On my way" is now your default reply to every "Where are you?" text.

4. Everything here is expensive. Food is expensive...

Image via Evening Street

If you find a place where you can dine for under RM10, better keep it a secret.

5. ... parking is also expensive

Image via Nick Chan

6. That is, if you can find a place to park in the first place

Image via YMCA

Parking lots are precious and people will fight for it.

7. It's every man for himself when it comes to driving

Image via Notey

You gotta be a bit garang if you want to survive driving in KL.

8. The road signs are so damn confusing

Image via Shutterstock

How am I supposed to look at so many signs while driving?

9. You actually need apps to help you get somewhere

Image via Rojak Daily

Back home, you knew all the roads based on popular landmarks. You didn’t even have to know roadnames!

10. It’s a much "bigger" city but it can get claustrophobic

Image via backpackingmalaysia.com

Cannot. Breathe.

11. Water cuts happen so often

Image via MalaysiaKini

Is KL running short of water or what...?

12. When KL people say "nearby", they actually mean 20 minutes away, not 5!

Image via MMO

Driving your car anywhere in KL can turn what you think will be a 10-minute errand into an hour-long excursion, and you still won't make it to your destination. -__-

13. So you just stay in most of the time

Image via Tenor

14. SO MANY MALLS! And you can have the same chains and stores within walking distance from each other.

Image via Kuala Lumpur

Back home, you only had one McD’s.

15. The malls are ALWAYS packed on weekends. Not just "many people" packed. It's "WHERE DO THESE HUMANS COME FROM" packed.

Image via Sunshine Kelly

You have to head out early if you wanna beat the crowd.

16. Going anywhere feels very far because of the loooong stretch of highways you have to drive on

14-Year-Olds Who Mocked Police On TikTok Livestream Gets A Lesson In Instant Karma

Two 14-year-old teens have been arrested for hurling profanities at the police during a TikTok livestream along the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKE)

Multiple videos of the incident have gone viral on social media, one recorded by one of the teens and the second by the police after detaining them. In the first video, the two boys streamed themselves being pursued by the police. The video lasts for more than a minute before the livestream ends.The second video is recorded by the police who managed to catch up with the teens and detain them.

Image via @mynewshub (Twitter)

To teach them a lesson, the police continued the teens' TikTok livestream and asked one of the duo to repeat what he had said earlier

"We were live at BKE and I said that if the police were to come here, we won't be afraid of them," he said before going silent.The boy had to be coaxed several times by the police into continuing. "I said why are they (the police) at BKE, they have no function. They're only making a nuisance," added the teenager.

Meanwhile, the second teen can be heard asking the police permission to go relieve himself, as the police call the both of them "mat rempits" before letting them go.

The video has garnered close to 300,000 views, with netizens expressing satisfaction that the police immediately taught the teens a lesson on their own livestream.

Spotify Is Testing An Insta Story-Like Feature That Will Give Songs More Life

Spotify is currently testing a feature called 'Storylines', which many are comparing to Instagram Stories

Image via SAYS

TechCrunch reported that the new feature would give artistes and their management teams more control over what background information is displayed as their song plays.

Storylines is meant to work alongside Genius' "Behind the Lyrics" feature

"Behind the Lyrics" depends on user-contributed content, which may not be entirely accurate. Storylines aims to fix this by giving artistes a platform to provide their own insights into their songs.

Image via SAYS

Currently, the feature can be spotted on a small number of artistes

Android Police reported that the feature can be spotted on Jonas Brothers' 'Sucker' and several songs by Billie Eilish, including 'bad guy' and 'bury a friend'.The feature is being tested on both iOS and Android apps, but it is not confirmed if all users will be able to see it.

5 Tips Penting & Mudah Untuk Mengurangkan Pembaziran Makanan Pada Bulan Ramadan. Simple!

Setelah seharian berpuasa, anda pasti menjadi rambang mata apabila berhadapan dengan pelbagai pilihan makanan dan minuman. Kesemuanya nampak sedap-sedap belaka!

Image via giphy.com

Pada bulan Ramadan, memang mudah sekali untuk membeli makanan dalam jumlah yang berlebihan kerana kita terlalu mengikutkan nafsu lapar. Tetapi bukankah membazir itu merupakan amalan syaitan? Menurut data yang dikeluarkan Perbadanan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal dan Pembersihan Awam (SWCorp), sebanyak 270,000 tan makanan telah dibazirkan pada bulan Ramadan setiap tahun. Memang sangat mengejutkan! Hanya dengan beberapa cara yang mudah ini, anda boleh mengamalkan sifat bersederhana pada bulan Ramadan yang akan datang.

Tips 1: Masak di rumah

Image via dekoruma

Kebanyakan pembaziran makanan terjadi kerana sifat tamak haloba di bufet dan restoran. Oleh itu, anda boleh mengurangkan pembaziran makanan dengan memasak di rumah. Pastikan anda merancang menu masakan untuk seminggu dan menyenaraikan bahan-bahan dapur yang diperlukan terlebih dahulu sebelum membeli-belah. Untuk mengurangkan pembelian mengikut nafsu, elakkan dari membeli bahan-bahan dapur ketika anda lapar.

Tips 2: Simpan lebihan makanan dengan elok

Image via limaumanis

Jika lebihan makanan tidak disimpan dengan elok, pasti akan menjadi basi dan dibuang. Sangat membazir, bukan? Perkara ini boleh dielak jika makanan lebihan disimpan dengan baik. Makanan-makanan yang berlebihan sewajarnya dibekukan di dalam bekas yang ditutup rapat dan apabila sudah tiba masa untuk dimakan, boleh dinyahbekukan mengguna ketuhar gelombang atau dimasak semula. Jimat masa dan tenaga anda! Pastikan makanan yang disimpan sudah disejukkan pada suhu bilik kerana wap boleh menyebabkan makanan menjadi basi.

Tips 3: Rancang pembelian sebelum ke bazar Ramadan

Image via starproperty

Jika anda tidak mempunyai masa untuk memasak, bazar Ramadan sememangnya pilihan yang terbaik untuk anda. Walau bagaimanapun, pastikan anda merancang pembelian anda terlebih dahulu dan hanya membawa jumlah wang yang mencukupi. Contohnya, hadkan diri anda kepada RM10 sehari sahaja dengan membeli tidak lebih dari sejenis makanan berat dan sejenis kuih-muih.

Tips 4: Sedekahkan makanan yang belum disentuh kepada masjid

Image via utusan

Kalau anda tidak pasti sama ada makanan akan tahan lama di peti sejuk atau tidak, maka lebih baik jika disedekahkan ke masjid untuk sesi moreh. Anda bukan sahaja dapat mengurangkan pembaziran, malah anda juga boleh melaksanakan amal jariah pada bulan Ramadan yang mulia.

Tips 5: Masak semula makanan lebihan

Image via petuaibu

Makanan lebihan pada waktu berbuka puasa juga boleh dimasak semula ataupun dimakan pada waktu sahur. Contohnya, lebihan ayam boleh dicarik-carikkan dan dijadikan sup ayam dan lebihan nasi pula boleh dijadikan nasi goreng.Dengan cara ini, anda tidak perlu lagi bersusah payah untuk memikir menu pada waktu sahur. Makanan lebihan yang dibeku juga masih elok untuk dihidangkan sewaktu buka puasa. Dengan cara ini, anda akan mempunyai lebih banyak variety lauk dan tidak menjadi bosan memakan makanan yang sama.

Dengan mengetahui tips-tips ini, anda bukan sahaja dapat mengelakkan pembaziran malah anda juga boleh menjimatkan duit di samping melakukan amal jariah.

Grab Singapore Will Be Charging Passengers SGD4 If They Cancel A Ride After Five Minutes

Starting from 11 March, passengers will be charged a SGD4 (RM12) fee if they cancel a ride more than five minutes after securing a booking

Image via Bloomberg/Getty Images

Passengers using ride-sharing service GrabShare will have to pay the SGD4 (RM12) penalty if they cancel more than three minutes after securing a ride, Grab said in an announcement on 3 March.Drivers will receive 100% of the fee as compensation for their time on the road.If the Grab ride arrives more than five minutes later than its estimated time, passengers can cancel the ride for free, Channel NewsAsia reported.

A no-show fee of SGD4 (RM12) will also apply for passengers who take too long to arrive at the pick-up location

Image via Video Point

After waiting for more than five minutes for regular rides or three minutes for GrabShare rides, drivers will also be allowed to make cancellations."If your driver decides to wait for you beyond this period, standard additional waiting time surcharges apply," Grab said.Passengers will either be charged for a late cancellation or for not showing up on time, and not for both.

"We believe that this update makes cancellations fairer for everyone," said Grab in the announcement.

Image via Mothership

According to the ride-sharing company, its cancellation policy was updated to give passengers the flexibility of cancelling a booking they have just made while still ensuring drivers are also fairly compensated for their time and effort."Our technology provides us with information on the driver-partners' and passengers' locations, which will help us decide on cancellation fee waiver requests on a discretionary basis if necessary," Grab told Channel NewsAsia.

Grab users are currently being charged a SGD5 (RM15) fee if they cancel a ride for the third time in seven days

As to why the grace period was decided as five minutes, Grab revealed that data and usage trends indicated that it was a good length of time for users to decide whether to cancel a ride, without the driver being "too far committed" into the journey.

Grab Singapore also recently introduced GrabPet so passengers can commute with their pets:

[PHOTOS] Watch The Moon Turn Blood Red During A Total Lunar Eclipse

WATCH LIVE: Blood Moon Eclipse

×

The first total lunar eclipse in more than two years is gracing the skies right now, and it's so rare because it's visible above the entire Western Hemisphere

Image via twimg.com

During the overnight hours of April 14-15, skygazers there will have a front-row seat as the full moon is painted red, creating what many call a "blood moon," as Earth's shadow creeps across the lunar disk. "Lunar eclipses are exciting because nature puts on a free show for everyone to enjoy, and it causes us to look back at the sky and reexamine our place in the solar system and beyond," said astronomer Raminder Singh Samra of the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, Canada.

        wired.com

Lunar eclipses have been considered an awe-inspriring sky event for millenia, and ancient astronomers could do rudimentary but fundamental science with them, says Samra. "Many cultures have mythologies associated with lunar eclipses so there has always been interest in the eclipses," said Samra. "The ancient Greeks were able to use the Earth's shadow cast on the moon to predict the approximate relative sizes of the two bodies."

        latimes.com

Lunar eclipses occur only when there is a full moon and the sun, Earth, and moon are precisely aligned for our planet's shadow to turn out the lunar lights. During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes behind our planet so that Earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. Due to the moon's tilted orbit around the Earth, one doesn't occur every month. And total eclipses usually happen once every few years, though there are sometimes more than one in a year.

        nationalgeographic.com

"Since the moon's orbit around the Earth is slightly inclined, it doesn't pass through the shadow every month, therefore every year we get an eclipse twice a year—very rarely we can get up to five," said Samra. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar ones are safely visible to the unaided eye. (A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun and blocks the disk of the sun.)

        news.com.au

But why does the moon turn orange-red during a lunar eclipse?

Image via twimg.com

During an eclipse, sunlight shining through the ring of Earth's dusty atmosphere is bent, or refracted, toward the red part of the spectrum and cast onto the moon's surface. As a result, expect to see the lunar disk go from a dark gray color during the partial phase of the eclipse to a reddish-orange color during totality. The same effect is at work when the sun turns red at sunset.

        nationalgeographic.com

The moon's color during totality can vary considerably depending on the amount of dust in the Earth's atmosphere at the time. Active volcanoes spewing tons of ash into the upper atmosphere, for instance, can trigger blood-red eclipses. No one can predict exactly what color we'll see before each eclipse.

        news.com.au

Why is this eclipse so noteworthy?

Beyond its occurrence over two heavily populated continents, the event has kicked off a lunar eclipse tetrad (group of four). For two years, a lunar eclipse will occur over the Western Hemisphere every six months. In addition to April 14-15, mark your calendars for this October 8 and for April 4 and September 28, 2015.

        nationalgeographic.com

Who gets to see the sky show?

The #BloodMoonEclipse from my backyard. Mars (upper right), & Spica (right of the moon) is a binary blue dwarf.
Image via @biermann via twitter

The best views will be from the entire North and South American continents and much of the Pacific Basin, including Hawaii. Eastern Australia should get to see the second half of the show on the night of April 15, as the moon rises during totality. Europe, Africa, and central Asia, meanwhile, will miss the entire eclipse because it will be daytime in those regions at the time of the event.

        cnn.com

As the hashtag #BloodMoonEclipse started trending worldwide on Twitter, many stargazers turned to social media to post pictures of what they were seeing

Many in North America started to see the moon slowly disappear, as it began its journey to pass behind Earth, into its shadow. Here’s how it looked close-up from a professional photographer’s view:

People Are Raising Funds For "Hero Egg Boi" To Pay His Legal Fees And Buy More Eggs

On 16 March, a 17-year-old boy made international headlines for smashing an egg on Australian senator Fraser Anning's head

Image via 9news

In response to the terrorist attack at two mosques in New Zealand, which left 50 people dead, the politician had released a statement saying "While Muslims may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators.""The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place," he added.

The senator retaliated by hitting Will Connolly in the face repeatedly until he was withheld by security guards

While the senator was restrained by security officials, his supporters tackled the boy to the ground and pinned him down.
