Subscribers were expected to enjoy the cost reduction "in a month or two" because the telcos had to streamline their systems, while TM needed more time than the other companies to resolve several related processes, he said. "More people in Malaysia will be able to enjoy the broadband facility at lower prices," he told a news conference.

Plans will now start from RM25 for a 1GB plan on mobile broadband whereas fixed line services will cost RM13 more for the same amount of data

Mobile broadband packages will be offered at RM25 for consumers who subscribe for a monthly data cap of 1GB and 3G-HSPA for both prepaid and postpaid services. "For fixed services, Telekom Malaysia (TM) will be offering basic broadband at RM38 a month for 1Mbps of free data usage up to 1GB.

Ahmad Shabery said the monthly subscription for the portable packages would probably be RM25 for 1GB and at least 3G High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) for both prepaid and postpaid services. "This reduction is estimated to be 14 per cent lower than the current average price," he said. TM offers the basic broadband package at RM38 per month for 1Mbps up to 1GB of free data usage, which is 57 per cent lower than the current price of RM88 for the basic package.

Ahmad Shabery said he did not want the quality of service to be jeopardised following the drop in the broadband prices. "We want them to relook their investments to raise their capability. What's the point of low prices when the service is not good?" he said.

“Good Internet service and cheap rates will also make the country attractive to foreign investors and it will also help spur the economy as well as enhance the lives of the people,” he said. He added that the telco industry should also increase investments to expand their infrastructure in order to improve the quality of internet services. “Price is just one aspect, quality of service must also be provided,” he said.

Melaka Cobbler Tweets Ismail Sabri A Heartfelt Request To Let Them Operate

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

Many small business owners are struggling to survive due to the raging COVID-19 pandemic and Abdul Ghafur, a cobbler, is one of them

26-year-old Abdul Ghafur shared his woes on Twitter by tweeting at Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Sunday, 4 July.In his tweet, Abdul Ghafur politely addressed the issues that many small business owners are facing, especially cobblers, due to the prolonged lockdown restrictions."Below are the pictures of the typical works that I do. I changed the insoles to leather and cleaned the linings a bit. It took me nearly 2 hours to fix 1 pair and costs RM20 only sir," he tweeted.Abdul Ghafur said the point of his tweet is that he hopes Ismail Sabri can adjust the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to allow all cobblers to operate during lockdown.

"Believe me we get less customers than burger stall owners and people don't wait at our premises," Abdul Ghafur said

He added, "Cobblers are not acknowledged by basically any authorities, like the government itself. But we are sort of essential for every human being who wearing shoes."Abdul Ghafur said that during his two-year operation, he never got more than 10 customers a day. He believes that because of this, cobblers are at low risk of spreading COVID-19.He told Ismail Sabri that he is at the edge of closing down his shop at Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka by next month. "If the lockdown continues for too long, I don't think I'll be the only one," he said.Abdul Ghafur also tweeted that he was not eligible for any of the Prihatin Special Grants (GKP) offered by the government.

Image via @laa1a (Twitter)

In a satirical manner, Abdul Ghafur tweeted, "I would fix your shoes for free, sir, and you can approve my request, but don't tell anybody it's between us"

He ended his Twitter thread by saying that he is aware his tweets would not reach Ismail Sabri but that is why he is tweeting it."Well, what else can a cobbler like me do, sir? Thanks and much love xx."When SAYS reached out to Abdul Ghafur, he said that he has not been able to manage the business during the prolonged lockdown phases and has only been finishing up older works at times."I just wish the process of recovering Malaysia moves faster. Because that's the last faith I have," he told SAYS.Abdul Ghafur has been working as a cobbler for nine years, and is currently running Kelinik Kasot at Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall.

His viral Twitter thread has attracted praise and support from netizens:

A user tweeted, "My God! This morning my thoughts were centered around my cobbler and I was concerned about how he was surviving. Please let them work. Please."

Image via @laa1a (Twitter)

"To be honest, the price is really cheap. Service (five stars) I've sent my shoes for repair countless times. He added soles and sew the straps of my favourite bag even though the bag is cheap. Neat and thorough work," a netizen praised.

Image via @laa1a (Twitter)

Another netizen said, "I'm impressed and touched as well. Such a sincere appeal tweeted to [Ismail Sabri]. Light hearted and jestful but I hope it drives home some significant messages to you, Mr. Authority — master of SOP. It pains us how people have to get by with their skills and yet slighted during this condition."

Woman Recounts The Scary Moment A Man Tried To Force Open Her Car Door At Car Park In PJ

A woman has warned the public to be alert at all times after a man tried to force his way into her car at the parking lot of a shopping mall in Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Image via Alamy

In a post that has gone viral, Facebook user Sinyee Ng recalled that she was walking to her car yesterday, 1 November, when she noticed a man wearing a jacket and carrying a "parcel-like item" following her. "When I slowed down, he slowed down too. He seems to be observing which car I'm getting into," she wrote.

Feeling suspicious, Ng quickly hopped into her car and immediately locked the door. To her shock, the man suddenly caught up and tried to open the door on the passenger's side.

"He was shocked that it was locked. Luckily, I got to lock (the doors) in time and I honked and he fled," she wrote, adding that the entire encounter lasted about two to three minutes.However, Ng has yet to make an official report to the mall's management, as she was "panicked" and worried that he will approach her again if she returned to the mall.

She pointed out that the incident happened at the mall's open air car park in broad daylight, just as the "lunch crowd" was coming in

Image via Alamy

Ng also counted herself fortunate that the car beside hers was backing out of their spot during the encounter, hence slowing him down and buying her some time to react. "Can't imagine what could have happened if his attempt was successful. Be alert and safe my friends," adding that she was glad she wasn't looking at her phone at the time.

At the time of writing, her cautionary post has been shared nearly 900 times. Some also commented that this is not the first such incident to have happened at the mall:

1 Utama has been made aware and has informed SAYS that it is currently investigating the incident.

Man's RM300K Secondhand BMW Keeps Breaking Down & Now He Has To Take Taxi Every Day

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

A Singaporean man expressed his frustrations on Facebook after his recently purchased secondhand BMW car kept breaking down

The man, Tan Yong Chang, said that he took out a large bank loan to pay for the BMW, which was also his first car, but it is now sitting idle in the car park of his house, reported AsiaOne.Recognizing that his new purchase made driving dangerous, Tan decided to take a taxi to work every day, but he was not pleased."Having to pay for a car and not being able to use it, it's just like burning money," the man told AsiaOne.

Tan said that in August, he paid a SGD500 (RM1,623) deposit to Evolution Motors Pte Ltd for a used BMW E60 5 Series 523i, but he started noticing some problems with it in the same month

He found defects in the vehicle's shock absorbers, engines, windows, and door locks.The 27-year-old said that he brought up the issues to Farhan Abdul Azis, the dealership's owner, and that he was promised that the problems would be fixed before the vehicle was handed over to him.Tan then took out a bank loan to pay for the SGD112,580 (RM365,434) car in early September, as he believed in Farhan's promise.

However, when Tan picked up the car on 29 September, he said that he was not even given a working car key

"I had to change the key case and duplicate one more," Tan explained, adding that the problems had not been repaired as promised and that the automobile had not been washed at all.After approaching the owner about the problems that were still not fixed, Farhan blamed the delays on COVID-19, manpower, and supplier issues.Tan said that he trusted Farhan as a business owner, but the car dealer ended up disappointing him and he described Farhan as "worse than a salesman."Despite the car's horrible condition, Tan continued to drive it to work, but the car kept shaking whenever he stepped on the gas.The situation forced him to book taxis for deliveries and go to meetings, incurring additional expenses of up to SGD80 (RM259) every day."I went to the mechanic on Sunday [4 December], and I was shocked by how serious the defects were," the man said, adding that he is thankful to be alive after driving it several times.

Image via Complaint Singapore (Facebook)

Tan lodged a police report against the business owner on 19 November, but he said that he is still unsure of what to do next

He was not given an invoice for his purchase, and he is unsure whether he can claim compensation for the repairs he had to pay out of his own pocket."I'm pretty much pissed off. If they can't fix the car, they should say so and not give excuses. To date, I'm scared of repairing it on my own," said Tan."I bought a car to save time, but it ended up being unsafe to drive. The inconvenience is a big hassle."

Another Singaporean had to spend almost SGD10,000 (RM33,209) to repair his secondhand car after just a month of owning it:

HUAWEI Is Working On A New AI Chatbot Called PanguChat

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

Chinese tech giant HUAWEI is working on its own AI chat bot that may rival ChatGPT

Image via MindBlowingTech

It's called PanguChat, and it could arrive as early as 7 July. The name is inspired by the company's large-scale learning model which initially comes with 100 billion parameters. In case you don't know, parameters define the skill of a learning model. The higher the number, the larger the value.As of now, OpenAI's GPT-4 learning model which powers ChatGPT, has crossed over 1 trillion parameters, which far surpasses the PanguChat learning model. However, that may change soon.

Reports have shown that the Pangu learning model had an output of nearly 1.085 trillion parameters which is equivalent to GPT-4's numbers

According to The Indian Express, the Pangu Chat model is being developed using using the deep learning framework known as MindSpore. The framework can generate conversations at par with GPT-3.5.HUAWEI has not confirmed anything at the time of writing, but the new AI chatbot could be introduced during the HUAWEI Developer Conference 2023 on 7 July. Stay tuned for more details!


Two Dead And Three Injured In An Attempt To Retrieve A Phone From Toilet Septic Tank

Last week, two people died and three others were injured after a woman dropped her USD300 smartphone into a cesspool in China's Henan Province

According to the South China Morning Post, the woman's husband climbed down into the open-pit toilet to collect the phone, worth about $300.

        huffingtonpost.com

He was reportedly overcome by the stench, lost consciousness and fell in, initiating a series of rescue attempts that ended in tragedy.

        theguardian.com

The husband's mother entered the pit to save him, but also instantly lost consciousness. The owner of the phone herself then entered the pit, suffering the same fate.

A man and his mother were killed and three people were injured after he jumped into human waste to retrieve a brand new $300 phone.

Neighbors were called for help after the owner of the phone tried to save her husband and mother-in-law. She also lost consciousness. Unbelievably, the woman's elderly father-in-law and two neighbors also became trapped inside the toilet during the rescue.

        gawker.com

Other Xinxiang City residents worked together using ropes to pull six people out of the knee-deep waste

Neighbors found a rope and used it to haul the people out. In total, six people ended up being pulled from the cesspool, which was reportedly filled knee-deep with waste.

        nydailynews.com

“The smell was too strong. I lost consciousness before I could see anything,” a neighbor told Dahe Daily, according to a SCMP translation.

        huffingtonpost.com

The husband and his mother both had pulses when they were rescued, but died after it took medical responders more than an hour to arrive on the scene

The villager cries after a woman and her son fell into an open pit toilet cries next to the cesspool in Cuizhuang Village, Xinxiang city in Henan province, China.

They were only inside the pit for 5 minutes, but the husband and his mother died at the hospital after waiting more than an hour for medical services to arrive. The man left behind a 1-year-old son.

        therakyatpost.com

"Two lives have gone in five minutes and my cousin's wife is still in coma, leaving a partially-paralyzed old man and a one-year-old son at home." the husband's uncle said, according to Shanghaist. "How are we supposed to go on?"

        huffingtonpost.com

A hospital doctor said the cause of death was suffocation. The woman who dropped her phone is in intensive care, along with a neighbour.

The woman's father-in-law was also injured. None of the local reports mention the status of the phone.

Starting At RM22K, The Perodua Axia E 2023 Is The Cheapest Car You Can Get In M'sia Now

The Perodua Axia is already known to be an affordable car amongst Malaysians, but this year, an even cheaper variant of the compact car is launching

Image via Mekanika

Dubbed the Perodua Axia E 2023, this new vehicle from Perodua is the cheaper alternative to the second generation Perodua Axia that launched earlier this year.According to paultan.org, the Axia E will retail at RM22,000 on the road (OTR) with five years of warranty. In comparison, the second generation Perodua Axia starts from RM38,600, as reported on WapCar. According to Perodua chairman Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin, the new price tag also makes the Perodua Axia E 2023 the cheapest Perodua car ever manufactured, even beating the Perodua Kancil which retailed at RM25,000 when it debuted in 1994.

Of course, the affordable price tag means it comes with some compromises

Image via Mekanika

Firstly, the compact car comes equipped with a 33-litre fuel tank with a fuel consumption rate of 22.5 kilometre per litre (on eco mode).Additionally, the car lacks most modern drive assist systems and advanced safety features such as wireless door locks and alarms, infotainment systems, speakers, and central locking. However, the car still packs essentials such as air conditioning, a power-steering, two airbags, a safety triangle accessory and more, as reported by New Straits Times. This may also be why the car is highly catered to driving schools.

You can check out the car yourself at your nearest Perodua dealership today!


People Are Calling This Mall 'Racist' For Not Putting Up Hari Raya Decorations

Queensbay Mall in Penang is widely-regarded as one of the most creative when it comes to festive decorations, particularly their grandiose and elaborate set-ups in the past year

Chinese New Year 2015.

However, a complete lack of Hari Raya decorations in the mall's central atrium this year came as a shock to one of its patrons, who highlighted the issue in a Facebook post that has since gone viral

No Hari Raya decorations were erected at Queensbay Mall's central atrium, where festive decorations are usually set up.

In a Facebook post dated 27 June, Faten Rafie wrote: "The evening before 23rd of Ramadan 1437. Seven days before Aidilfitri. Central court of Queensbay Mall, which usual gets all the celebration decor is empty. Almost too stark naked. Walking in, once I am past the shock, I am enveloped in sadness. Am I still in Malaysia? Where we proudly claim of multi races living in harmony, sharing all the many celebrations from all the different ethnics and religion groups that makes us Malaysia. Yet it looks like the mall in in mourning."

She further questioned, "Does CapitaLand Mall Asia, the company managing Queensbay Mall, deem Aidilfitri unworthy of the beautiful celebration decorations that they are famous for?"

"Maybe the demographic is not worthy in term of revenue to them, yet I see so many doing their Raya shoppings there, most with at least a couple of bagful of purchases," she wrote. "Inquiry to the information counter confirmed the worst, there's no decoration planned for the central court or any other places apart from the 15' corridor at the far end of the mall. Why is that the biggest celebration, by the main ethnic group, embracing the official religion of our nation only get a corridor (between Starbucks and KFC) worth of celebration decoration?"

The post - which has been shared more than 750 times - quickly gathered comments of outrage from many, some of whom vowed to never step foot in the mall ever again

A prominent Facebook personality with nearly 6k followers also weighed in on the issue, urging the mall to be "respectful of the major ethnic groups in the country"

On the other hand, some are of the opinion that the issue has been blown out or proportion

After all, how did a post on the lack of festive decorations escalate into a racial, religious or even political issue?

Image via imgur.com

Joe Najib - whose Facebook page is followed by nearly 16k people - thinks the entire fiasco is "pathetic" and "ridiculous, saying that "social media has given voice to the real bigots"

In a post dated 29 June, he wrote:"The racial sentiments / tension in our country today has gone to levels we've not witnessed in decades. It's ridiculous. Social media has given voice to the real bigots, voices that were once confined to homes and kopitiam talks. Now it's in the open. True colours have come out."

Meanwhile, Queensbay Mall has released a statement on its Facebook page explaining that there are no elaborate Hari Raya decorations because the central atrium is due to undergo renovations soon

In the statement released on 28 June, the mall wrote: "We would like to reassure you that Hari Raya Aidilfitri is an important festive occasion for our mall. In previous years, we have always had Hari Raya decorations in the centre atrium of our mall.Unfortunately, we were unable to continue this tradition this year as the centre atrium is undergoing a major renovation involving ceiling and flooring works in a few days’ time."

Earlier on, the mall has already set up some Hari Raya decorations in another part of the mall i.e. ground floor of its North Court, which is significantly more low key compared to the central atrium

However, Faten, the writer of the aforementioned viral post, has noted that the decorations are placed right in front of Morganfield's, which she calls a "watering hole most famous for their pork dishes".

A quick look through the mall's photos on Facebook show that Hari Raya decorations in 2015 were set up in the central atrium and the North Court in 2014

Golongan T20 Di Mont Kiara Terima Kecaman Di Twitter Gara-Gara 'Degil' & Ingkar Arahan PKP

Kerajaan Malaysia telah menguatkuasakan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) sejak dari 18 Mac lalu sehingglah 14 April ini

Image via sinar harian

Penguatkuasaan perintah itu terpaksa dilakukan susulan daripada penularan wabak Covid-19 yang semakin kritikal.Apa yang lebih membimbangkan, pada ketika kini bilangan mangsa yang dikesan positif wabak itu juga sudah melebihi angka 2,000 kes.Namun begitu, sejak perintah kawalan tersebut dilaksanakan, masih ada sebilangan individu yang bersikap 'kebal' dan 'degil' untuk mematuhi arahan yang telah dikeluarkan oleh pihak kerajaan.Ia dapat dibuktikan menerusi perlakuan segelintir individu di Mont Kiara yang masih membuat aktiviti riadah mereka di luar rumah tanpa mempedulikan arahan PKP.

Sikap serta perlakuan segelintir individu di kawasan itu telah mencetuskan rasa tidak puas hati dalam kalangan netizen

Image via Twitter

Di Twitter, #MontKiara telah trending dan menjadi bualan kebanyakan warga Twitter.Mana tidaknya, sehingga ke hari ini masih ada individu yang sesuka hati keluar rumah untuk berjogging dan berjalan-jalan semasa tempoh PKP dilaksanakan di seluruh negara.Perbuatan penduduk di kawasan sekitar itu telah berjaya dirakam dan ia secara tidak langsung menimbulkan rasa geram dan marah dalam kalangan netizen ketika ini.Di bawah ini kami sertakan beberapa 'luahan' yang dibuat oleh netizen berhubung perkara itu.

Mont Kiara joggers are currrently ranked #1 in the list of most inconsiderate and super arrogant dickheads in malaysia— cc (@cocorello) March 24, 2020

The way I see it, Mont Kiara joggers have 3 options. #StayAtHome(Pic: from WA) pic.twitter.com/5SHuyVRaI7— Beni Rusani (@DrBeniRusani) March 26, 2020

Eh, my parents are ultra-marathon runners. Like, they're obsessed with running HUNDREDS OF KILOMETRES. But they still #DudukRumahDiamDiam and when they really cannot tahan they climb 20 flights of stairs in the apartment escape stairwell. Sit down in your mont kiara duplex la diu— (lava)nt garde (@kimmouto) March 25, 2020

In case golongan T20 Bangsa Jogging Mont Kiara tak faham, aku tweet dalam English pulak“When Muhyiddin starts to speak in English, obviously he dedicates the message to Bangsa Jogging-Mont Kiara T20 Group”— IkimHassan (@IkimHassan) March 25, 2020

To the runners of Mont Kiara: stay  the  eff  home  Stop trying to outsmart the system. “But in France/the UK, you’re still allowed to run.” THERE’S A REASON WHY THE NUMBERS ARE BLOWING UP IN THOSE COUNTRIES. Everyone is making sacrifices. Go play your video games.— AinaSalleh (@AinaSalleh) March 26, 2020

Bila Muhyiddin ni dah cakap English, nampak sangat dia tujukan kepada golongan T20 Bangsa Jogging Mont Kiara.— IkimHassan (@IkimHassan) March 25, 2020

Kenapa polis tak tangkap geng #MontKiara? Dorang lagi ramai yg disobey RMO. Tak boleh ke berlaku adil? Mostly yg ditangkapnya orang susah hm  Kaya sederhana miskin tetap rakyat sebab mereka duduk dalam Malaysia.— queen  (@ayraraffee_) March 27, 2020

Yang masih degil keluar berjogging mont kiara, seremban 2 ni cuba sabotaj PKP agaknya. Kalau ditahan boleh dorang lawan kat mahkamah. Boleh tunjuk samseng maki hamun polis. Dasar mangkuk tak pikir susah penat orang. Sumbat je dalam lokap sampai abis PKP!— KMZ (@KMZ_santai) March 27, 2020

Solution paling simple. Letak je polis dgn askar dkt mont kiara tu. Biarlah diorg jogging sesama. Sapu sekali senang. Kata runner!— Shafiq Karim (@karimshaf) March 27, 2020

REMPIT YANG KORANG KUTUK KUTUK TU PUN RETI DUDUK RUMUH! ORANG KAYA MONT KIARA YANG TAK PAHAM BAHASA eyyyy aku lahh— pah stay strong (@idiyan_) March 27, 2020

Namun terbaru, beberapa pengguna Twitter memaklumkan bahawa pihak berkuasa kini sudah mula mengenakan tindakan terhadap penduduk di kawasan itu yang mengingkari arahan PKP

Update from Mont Kiara side, i saw this morning ada jogger kena angkut dgn polis peronda. Tak berani nak ambil video since I'm driving. Takut kena angkut sekali sebab main phone sambil memandu  Anyway kudos to @.PDRMsia Hopefully this stubborn jogger learn their lesson!— Jangan keluar rumah kecuali perlu! #StayAtHome (@Bellakzaman) March 27, 2020

Salam gais.14 orang kena tangkap harini dekat Mont Kiara sebab melanggar perintah #RMO. tapi bapak aku cakap kene warning aje entah lah #50480WPKL#PerintahKawalanPergerakan pic.twitter.com/DY2YyiVhZY— P.U Jamal (@PejuangJlnLurus) March 27, 2020

Waktu-waktu macam ni, rasanya tak perlulah terus mementingkan diri sendiri dan ingkar arahan yang telah dikeluarkan. Semuanya demi kebaikan kita bersama.

Ingat, patuhi arahan dan sila duduk di dalam rumah. Teruskan mengikuti perkembangan mengenai Covid-19 hanya di SAYS Seismik!

Soon, The Whole World Will Be Celebrating The Dawn Of A New Year… Except This Country

The ultra-conservative Gulf Kingdom's religious police have warned the public against celebrating the New Year’s Eve

The Commission of the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice  (Haia), known unofficially as mutawa, based its warning on a religious edict from the top committee of Saudi clerics banning such celebrations.

        aljazeera.com

The Commission also warned Saudi gift shops not to sell any merchandise, including flowers and dolls.

        aljazeera.com

Image via alarabiya.net

Haia officials tour markets across the Kingdom to prevent the sale of red roses and other things used for celebrating New Year.

        arabnews.com

A Haia official said punitive measures would be taken against those who celebrate the New Year publicly.

        arabianbusiness.com

Unlike all other Gulf states that use the Gregorian calendar, Saudi Arabia follows the Muslim lunar calendar

Image via aljazeera.com

Members of the commission enforce the kingdom's rule of strict segregation between sexes. They also go around shops to make sure they are shuttered during prayer times.

The religious police have been accused of abusing their powers. But since January last year, they have become more discreet with the appointment of their new chief, cleric Abdulatif bin Abdulaziz al-Sheikh, who banned the use of unmarked cars.

        alarabiya.net

Image via inserbia.info

Mutawa also traditionally banned the sale of red roses and gifts for Valentine's Day on February 14.

        inserbia.info

Similar warnings have been issued by Islamic groups in other countries, including in Malaysia

In Malaysia, the Malaysia International Institute of Islamic Cooperation (Ikiam) said New Year’s Eve reflected the Jewish culture and would cause Muslim youths to commit sins.

        arabianbusiness.com

Image via arabianbusiness.com

“The celebrations will have excessive entertainment, which can cause the majority of Muslim youth to let their guard down and commit a lot of sin,” Ikiam leader Datuk Mustapha Idrus said.

[FACT OR FAKE #78] Did This Girl Really Use Sex To Finance Her Cross-Country Road Trip?

If you, by any chance, weren't on a social media sabbatical last week, you would very well be aware about an extremely viral story of a 19-year-old beautiful girl from Shanghai who was seeking 'temporary boyfriends' to help fund her road-trip across China

Screenshot of the story published on ELITE DAILY
Image via SAYS.com via elitedaily.com

At first appearing as an ad posted on Weibo, the story was picked up by several UK media sites, including The Telegraph, Elite Daily and Mirror, sending the whole of Internet abuzz with moral outrage and young men around the world into an euphoric trance

The story, with its 'highly inflammable' content, prompted several to pass judgmental remarks and term the 19-year-old Shanghai girl, named Ju Peng, as 'a prostitute', because critics said her offer is nothing short of prostitution.

But the reality of it is far from what has been purported and made to believe - or to put it more aptly - lured and seduced into a stunt deserving of most epic of the facepalm in the history of mankind

I'm sorry, did my claim made you cringe? Well, what I'm going to reveal next will actually make you want to facepalm yourself. So how much of this Ju Peng's story, which claims she is looking for "temporary boyfriends" who must be "good looking, under 30, taller than 1.75 metres and, of course, rich." is FACT or FAKE? Read on...

FAKE: The story, as it turns out, is actually a false advertisement. You see, as The Washington Post puts it, 'even Chinese start-ups aren't immune to the lure of the viral marketing hoax'.

Ha! Told you so, didn't I?
Image via reactiongifs.com

The 19-year-old's profile, and at least one other, were actually created by a dating app called Youjia, which promised sex in return for food and accommodations.

On Wednesday, Shanghai Daily reported, China's State Internet Information Office actually ordered the company to shut down over the "fake and unethical" advertising.

"The company crossed the line for promotion. (The stories) contained fake and unethical content," China's State Internet Information Office said in a statement. The firm admitted to failings in the management of its marketing and promotion activities.

Image via shanghaiist.com

One of the news stories, titled “Body for Traveling,” told of a young woman who financed a tour of the country by swapping sexual favors with “temporary boyfriends” she met through Youjia in return for food and accommodation.

        shanghaidaily.com

A second, “Sex in an Excavator,” told how a 21-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman — who also met through the app — decided to have sex while waiting to be rescued from an earthmover in Shanghai’s Putuo District.

        shanghaidaily.com

Both stories spread extensively over the Internet and were carried by newspapers across China. “The company crossed the line for promotion,” the information office said in a statement. “(The stories) contained fake and unethical content,” it said.

Fitbit's New Wristband Wants To Help You Sleep Better At Night

It's been almost a year since Fitbit announced the Alta, the company's first stab at a wearable that's attractive and funtional at the same time

Fitbit Alta.
Image via CNET

The Alta is one of the best-looking trackers Fitbit has made. Its most notable feature of the Alta is the design - it is slim and narrow. As for tracking abilities, the band can monitor steps, distance, calories burned, and active minutes.

The fitness tracker juggernaut has unveiled its successor to Alta - the Alta HR

Image via Fitbit

The Alta HR is the same size as the original Alta that we reviewed last year. It has swappable bands and can track steps, distance, calories burned and sleep. It will also display notifications for incoming calls, text messages and calendar alerts.

However, the difference lies on the underside of the Alta HR, as you now have access to a heart-rate monitor

Image via Fitbit

Fitbit was able to bring PurePulse, the feature requested most by Fitbit Alta users, to Alta HR by developing a one-of-a-kind chip that reduced the size and number of components needed, which resulted in a more streamline design.The feature can measure calories even during non-step exercises like yoga and spinning. As always, you can also keep track of your heart rate with Fitbit's app.

Fitbit is also introducing two dynamic sleep tools - Sleep Stages and Sleep Insights - that provide deeper insight into your sleep quality and guidance on how to improve it

Image via Fitbit

Sleep Insights takes everything into consideration that is tracked by your Fitbit. From there, you will be able to learn more about different methods on how to improve your sleep on a night-to-night basis.On the other hand, Sleep Stages uses accelerometer data and heart rate variability (the changes in time between beats), plus Fitbit’s proven algorithms to more accurately estimate how long you spend in light, deep and REM sleep stages.

The new Alta HR will be available from early April 2017 at a number of retailers like Lazada, Harvey Norman, and Courts

Image via Wearable

Price at RM730.00, the Alta HR will be available in six different colour combinations to choose from, along with four different accessory bands which can be used. There are also two special edition variants available: Black/Gunmetal Stainless Steel and Soft Pink/22k Rose Gold Plated, at RM820.00.

Guy's Imagination Runs Wild At The Thought Of Organising #HimpunanMaruahIndia

After Bersih 4 and Himpunan Maruah Melayu, what's next? Umapagan from BFM seems to have the answer: #HimpunanMaruahIndia

Feeling incredibly left out, I have decided to organize a Himpunan Maruah India.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

#HimpunanMaruahIndia sounds really fun. Guess which special guest would be there?

We will wear purple shirts. So we match everything in Brickfields.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Just imagine the singing and dancing in the streets.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

My brothers and sisters. I have great news. A.R. Rahman has agreed to perform at #HimpunanMaruahIndia! #MollywoodCavalcadeOfStars— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

A. R. Rahman
Image via Sify

As usual, there are a lot of uncertainties

But I'm worried it might all fall apart. Because already there's someone else claiming to be the true leader of the rally.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Bersih - one clear leader. Himpunan Maruah Melayu - no one wants to be the leader. Himpunan Maruah India - semua nak jadi leader.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Within minutes of my first tweet, there is already a second faction calling themselves Himpunan Maruah India Benar.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Everything's still under control but more people are getting upset

It's been 9 minutes and a third breakaway faction is now claiming to be Himpunan Maruah Malayalee. #YouDontSpeakForUs— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Now the Sri Lankans are upset because they're not represented. So are the Brahmins. But the Sikhs are still with me.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

The conflict continues. Caste factions are springing forth. Some of them demand orange shirts.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

At times, you're 'rally' filled with doubt

Okay. So maybe this wasn't such a good idea. #HimpunanMaruahIndia— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

But all is well again when we reach a compromise

After much discussion, we have finally reached a compromise. Both purple AND orange shirts will be allowed at the rally.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

I have reminded the Mamaks that they're still Indian actually. So they too are welcome to join our purple/orange shirt rally.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

In any case, make sure you're ready with 10,000 coconuts

Okay. So now some idiot has made a vow to break 10,000 coconuts if 100,000 thousand people show up for the rally.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Also, it's important to take down these notes if you're going to the rally

Some tips in case of tear gas or water canons. Just rub some manjal all over your body and nothing can get through. My grandmother told me.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Brothers and sisters. Please bring your own coconuts. I repeat, coconuts will not be provided.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

In case you missed the memo, the gathering is set to take place on Deepavali eve and there will be two meeting spots...

We have all finally agreed that #HimpunanMaruahIndia will take place on Deepavali eve. Though we can't seem to agree on when that is.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

There will be two gathering/meeting spots in KL. In front of the ugly sculpture at Brickfields and in front of Haniffa in Masjid India.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

The "ugly sculpture".
Image via chingchongchang

We reckon that's where most of you will be anyway. That way we don't have to get Taylor's to provide bus services.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

No police or RELA, no medical team, no lawyers, and no bills. #HimpunanMaruahIndia only wants gold.

We don't need the police or RELA. We have been assured protection by the Sentul and Klang gangsters. (I hear they also have guns.)— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

We have assured the government and DBKL that there will be no clean up bill. Don't worry. That is our job. We are all cleaners at heart.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

We will also not be requiring any medical services at #HimpunanMaruahIndia. No need lawyers either.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

To all supporters of the #HimpunanMaruahIndia, we are looking for donations. We are taking donations in gold, gold, and gold.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

#HimpunanMaruahIndia also reminds everyone that equality does exist

QOTD: "We are not racist. We are Indians. Everyone was Indian at some point. So everyone can join."— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Thank you so much for all of your kind donations. We will now form a "holdings company" and keep it in trust for all Indians.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Again, the confusion among people are creating chaos

My dear friends and supporters. I am facing another leadership challenge.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Certain parties are claiming I am a fraud. That I am not India. That my Ceylonese heritage disqualifies me to lead any such himpunan.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Brothers. Sisters. Cousin brothers. Cousin sisters. Please do not support or join this #HimpunanBaduaIndia. It is an illegal rally.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

#NotOurCulture.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

There are various challenges but the show must go on

Wait. I'm getting some reports that the police are on their way to my house. I will keep you posted.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

No. It's a false alarm. They were just questioning me for some other crime that happened in some other place where I wasn't.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

Ultimately, good things will come to those who wait!

I would also like to announce to all my loyal supporters that I have been made a senator and a minister in the Prime Minister's Office.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

The government has promised to build us a new temple! #HidupNajib #HidupMelayu— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end

I know it's only been an hour, but I have resigned from all government positions as the PM has failed to deliver on his promises.— Umapagan (@umapagan) September 18, 2015

There Are Now Family-Friendly Halls In TGV So Parents Can Watch Movies While The Kids Play

TGV Cinemas has launched a brand new Family Friendly Hall so your family can enjoy movies with softer sound, brighter lights and ample space for the kids to play around

Image via TGV Cinemas

The new concept hall comes with an adjoining play room so your little ones can release all their energy before (and during!) the movie screening. The play room includes padded flooring, plenty of kid-sized tables and chairs, children's books and toys, colouring papers with coloured pencils, a diaper-changing room, and child-friendly toilets.

Image via Ninja Housewife

What makes the play room extra special is the unique Scan & Play setup that brings your kids' drawings and artwork to life

Image via Ninja Housewife

Using a special scanner, your little ones' art creations will be uploaded and displayed both on the big screen in the play room AND on the big cinema screen before the movie starts! Guaranteed to make your kids squeal with joy ;)

Image via Ninja Housewife

There will also be half-time intermission breaks for every screening in the Family Friendly Halls, allowing your kids a much-needed toilet break before getting back to the movie!

Image via Ninja Housewife

The Family Friendly Hall has four different types of seating for families of all sizes:

1. Loungers are located at the back and are spacious for a family of four

Image via TGV Cinemas

These seats are perfect if you have toddlers and/or a baby. They can lie down, stretch out, roll around, and generally be free do whatever they wanna do.

2. The Deluxe seating option comes with plush padding to keep you and your whole family happy

Image via TGV Cinemas

Because of the spacious hall, there's ample space between rows. This makes it easy for toddlers to enjoy the seats without getting blocked by adults sitting in front of them, AND they have more space to walk around if they want to.

Image via Ninja Housewife

3. Meanwhile Dory seats are like miniature chairs designed specifically for kids below the age of 12 to sit comfortably (they're also super cute!)

Image via TGV Cinemas

Be the coolest parent ever by hosting your child's birthday party at Family Friendly TGV! The kids will LOVE chilling out on these awesome Dory seats.

4. With a reclined seating position and leg rest section, the Aladdin seats are perfect for lazing while you enjoy the movie

Image via TGV Cinemas

Your small one will likely use this seat as a slide, while you can lean back and watch the movie in peace. They are seriously comfortable.

Johor Woman Who Got Braces For Fun Ends Up With Swollen Lips, Fever & Bacterial Infection

A Facebook post by a local dentist shines a light on the current trend of getting low-cost, fake braces for fashion and the dangerous consequences of getting them from unqualified individuals

Last week, Selangor-based Azila Mohd Kasim, who is an actual dentist, took to her Facebook profile to share a harrowing ordeal a woman from Johor suffered. She got herself a pair of fake braces, to follow in the footsteps of her colleagues.The idea behind the fake braces was to look cute for Instagram. However, the "just for show" look not only cost the woman dearly, it also caused a great deal of discomfort.

Image via Azila Dentist

Azila revealed that while the woman's colleagues got their fake braces done by an Instagram dentist for RM220, she found someone claiming to be a "dentist", who offered to do it for RM190

Excited at having scored such a sweet deal, the woman agreed to his proposal and fixed an appointment for him to come to her house to install the braces.According to the actual dentist, the woman said that her mouth was initially washed with an unidentified blue liquid that was painful before having the braces installed.After a week, the woman realised something was not right.Her face had swollen and her lips were filled with pus. However, when she spoke about her condition to the "dentist", he told her to not worry, saying it "was normal."As the photo below shows, the woman's condition was certainly not "normal". Dr Azila revealed that the woman's swollen mouth soon began to sprout pus-filled blisters.

Image via Azila Dentist

As the incident occurred over the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday, the woman had to suffer through her pain and fever for a full three days before going to a private clinic to have the braces removed

At the private clinic, she was charged RM650 for the removal process."It's good for us private dentists to earn more, but think about it, for a fashion statement of worth RM190, she now had to pay RM650 and suffer so much pain," Dr Azila wrote.Following the removal of the fake braces, doctors at the private clinic took a sample of the woman's blood. The lab results showed that the braces had caused bacterial infection and rampant germs throughout the woman's body, Dr Azila revealed.

Aside from raising awareness about dubious individuals posing as "dentists", Dr Azila also advised the public to report such unscrupulous practitioners who put people's lives in danger

Dr Azila advised people to report these individuals to the Ministry of Health (KKM)."Please all, if there is a case about medical/Dental/pharmacy or anything related to KKM, please make a complaint. If we don't report, KKM won't know," she wrote.She also shared an example of how one can write a simple complaint:'I would like to make a complaint about a dental treatment conducted by an individual named ___________ that is at the location ___________.I believe that he/she is not a certified dentist, unregistered and non-licensed with MDC but he/she is arbitrarily giving dental treatment to clients.I ask KKM to investigate my complaint because I am worried that there are irregularities and lies that may happen in the premise that is done by a non-qualified individual.'

In October 2017, a young woman who simply learned dentistry from YouTube was sentenced to six months of jail for practising without legitimate qualifications:
