There will always be a skeptical judgment against any occupation in this world in the eyes of society. Perhaps makchik bawang knows the best&hellip;
Unpopular opinions such as lawyers are (good) liars, politicians sound more politikus, teacher profession is not worth anymore, accountants have nothing else to do but numbers in their life, and the list goes on.
Generally, society would view people based on the what they do for a living and the logic is there.

Not all superheroes wear cape, some wear helmets.
Every cloud has a silver lining. The strike of Covid-19 to some extent had opened the eyes of the community and take delivery riders&rsquo; occupation seriously where they have committed to their job delivering food to houses, buildings, and premises from a location to another continuously every single day.
Apart from that, countless times we heard of our delivery riders have been always the ones who lend a hand whenever there were accidents on the roads too.
They are not the only delivery rider. They are front liners and superheroes!

Since the movement control order (MCO) took place on March 18, two major food delivery services have increased the number of riders working for them to meet increasing demand.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341087/unsigned/xzbiuqxltie9exwfiypa.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />
Foodpanda Malaysia&rsquo;s head of logistic, Shubham Saran shared that there had&nbsp;been a 7.5 percent rise in the number of delivery guys for his organization and a 37 percent increase in employment applications.
He mentioned his company had begun to hire significant numbers of new riders a week before March 18 last year.
Despite how some people might view this industry as something "less important" rather than other occupations, still many people opt for food delivery riders as a valid option to commit as a part-time job.
Let's take a moment for a while and re-think this. Is it true that Malaysians have really &lsquo;opened up&rsquo; their eyes about this occupation of delivery riders?
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341133/unsigned/hqqyvuq2rv3dkc6ev0e3.gif" alt="" width="300" height="169" />
Life without delivery riders? Nightmares. 
Delivery riders have been the unsung heroes who brave the insane roads and streets every day. Who knew that delivery riders can also be friendly and were so much informative if one takes the chance to get to know more about their experience in this said industry.
Team MYC! has decided to take this opportunity to bring the delivery rider's topic to public attention especially of how much people have perhaps underestimated or overlooked this occupation within the community. A few interview sessions have been carried out recently from two major food delivery companies of their riders regarding current issues and the reality of being a delivery rider nowadays based on their own experiences in ways we could never think of before.
Nor Adlan Nordin, an officer of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia) shared how was his journey so far as a part-time Foodpanda rider since Covid-19 since last year, in an engaging conversation we had.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341319/unsigned/ygyzxyfxrwgqzn1quwr9.png" alt="Adlan cherishes his job as a delivery rider not only could improve his time management but also a good side income for quick cash" width="500" height="300" />
Adlan cherishes his job as a delivery rider not only could improve his time management but also a good side income for quick cash.
&nbsp;
Y'all better be good because police can rock in a pink shirt as well.
Adlan told that it takes a good time management skills to multitask his limited time in fulfilling the responsibilities as a police officer and a food delivery rider. Both consume a lot of energy and time daily however, with a day that can profit him at least RM120 roughly, it was worth of sacrifices especially in the hurdles of pandemic and the uncertainty of the economy nowadays.
He told that "My duty as a police officer would require two to three days a week so whenever I have my off days, I&rsquo;d usually work (as a Foodpanda rider) from 10 am until around 12 pm and the profit gained from the service would roughly cost me RM120. It depends on what &lsquo;batch&rsquo; one belongs to in the food runner system based on his or her performance as a delivery rider.
"But I can't lie, it is such an exhausting commitment but it is worth my time. I want to improve myself better in time,' said the 23-year-old rider when asked why does food delivery service become his choice as a second job at the moment.
The fact that a motorcycle is indeed a perfect vehicle to get around conveniently compared to cars especially in the middle of busy traffic in a packed city, motorcyclists are more likely exposed to risks of any possible physical injuries on the road.
Adlan agreed as he explained it further, "I am aware of the mentioned risk (road accidents). It is the worst thing that could ever happen to any motorcyclist. Thus, there is no safety management system adopted by the company for their riders so we (delivery riders) have to take care of our self.
He proceeded, "Every occupation has its commitments. Since this job offers flexible time to fit into my schedule and it pays not bad, I consider this (the challenges) as an opportunity instead."
On the other hand, another Foodpanda rider Mohamad Aiman Mohamad Razi also viewed this industry as a great opportunity to improve his side income with flexible working hours.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341432/unsigned/bydchde7xazhhglfyhdu.jpg" alt="Aiman believes hard work pays off. " width="500" height="668" />
Aiman believes hard work pays off.
&nbsp;
As a delivery rider who can make roughly RM280 a day, Aiman said that it is the attitude that rules the game. He casually pinned, &ldquo;There is nothing complicated about this job. How much you put your effort into the job by delivering the order to the customers, that&rsquo;s how much you get paid for.
&ldquo;As a full-time delivery rider in Kangar, Perlis, I have to make sure that my motorcycle is always in a good condition. I don't have to spend much on the maintenance since motorcycle only needs to monitor its engine oil and chain in two months in a time if you take good care of your motorcycle well-being," he laughed.
Better pay than sitting in an office.
Nevertheless, the reality delivery riders ought to deal with is the ultimate weather of Malaysia in attempt to send their customers food on time and safely.
Although Malaysia is known for its equatorial climate, our unpredictable weather sometimes can be blazing hot and the other days are pouring heavily, delivery riders ought to step up their game to overcome the challenge and run their job smoothly.
Both delivery riders proposed that the weather is not something that any of us could have control over it, so they took the initiative to wear long sleeves gloves, a secured face mask, and always have their raincoats prepared with them at all times.
Stigma against delivery rider
People and stigma against the occupation can never be separated as mentioned earlier. When it comes to the delivery rider, some would say those delivery riders are always riding dangerously on the road and often hit the red light because they tend to "catch up" with the customers' orders.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341485/unsigned/bqpefbycrgppyuvogxjo.png" alt="Kasyful devoted his time to being a student from one of the local universities while working as a part-time Grabfood delivery rider in Selangor." width="500" height="333" />
Kasyful devoted his time to being a student fromone of the local universities while working as a part-time Grabfood delivery rider in Selangor.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
A Grabfood delivery rider who is also a Bachelor of Pharmacy student, Kasyful Azhim Zainal shared his opinion, "I cannot deny that there are delivery riders that hit the red lights, etc and what is wrong, is wrong. They shouldn't be too focused on the orders alone and risk their lives and others.
"Hence, every occupation in this world has its challenges and none of us could escape from the society's stigma.
"People can judge all they want but they have no right to decide what's the best for us. Believe in ourselves and don't let people's voices stop us from doing what we want."
As a front liner, Kasyful takes a serious prevention in reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 while fulfilling his responsibility as a food delivery rider.
&ldquo;The (Covid-19) cases are still high and the lifted MCO shouldn&rsquo;t be a reason for us to take the pandemic as something come and go. Like other (delivery) riders, I strictly follow the SOP, wear mask, and keep my distance with customers when working,&rdquo; he said in the interview session.
Could not agree more with what Kasyful had to say about caring too much about others' thoughts rather than ours. After all, life is not about the destination but the journey along the way.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341532/unsigned/hh2hnmmqlewdavhm8jgw.gif" alt="" width="300" height="169" />
Conscious or not, the delivery rider actually plays a very important role in our community to ensure the nation runs smoothly while in effort to curb the pandemic spread. Regardless of the what occupation that people are committing to, we should respect each other and spread kindness to make the world a better place to live. Don&rsquo;t be a Karen.
People are entitled to their own challenges with different solutions. Everyone does not have to be a doctor, a lawyer, an auditor, or even a delivery rider exactly to meet the life purposes. We just have to be ourself and that is enough.
&nbsp;
Team MYC would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude and take this opportunity to thank every delivery rider, especially the great ones we approached. Photograph credits to respective delivery riders.

Delivery riders are one of the most underrated occupations that have been instrumental in keeping our economy (and sanity...) going especially during the pandemic.

Union Artisan Cafe is located on the ground floor of 1 Utama Shopping Centre. This hidden gem offers a cosy and relaxing ambience, an escapade from the hustle bustle of the city. It is a perfect place for teatime and meals to be enjoyed alone or with some company for some quality time.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1651292750/unsigned/o2v2tsmfnycnccqncp6w.png" />
&nbsp;
The idea of this cafe went from neighbourhood-concepted cafe to cater the neighbourhood and working community, which has now expanded into brewing refined coffee, comfort food, and desserts as well.

Starting with the yumcha set (1 cake and 1 beverage):
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1651293208/unsigned/fdaascbep4reiguzf85y.png" />
&nbsp;
Chocolate With Salted Peanut Butter Cake + Hot Flat White (RM20)
The cake was divine. She described that it was moist with a balanced combination of sweet and salty. Whereas the coffee was skilfully designed by the barista, she complimented that it tasted just right!
Onto the snacks:
Deep Fried Cauliflower (RM16.90)
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1651293364/unsigned/nja1rvwmnesojo0t6orl.png" />
After sweet for sure comes savoury! If you are not a vegetable lover, this snack will change your mind. Fried until golden brown, it came with a dipping sauce. What a perfect combo right? She mentioned that she loves the sauce so much!

A little bit behind the name, it actually means &ldquo;the laughter&rdquo;! The restaurant has been around Kuala Lumpur since 1996 and has one of if not the most authentic Italian dishes from traditional wood-fired thin and crispy pizzas to pastas, meat and even seafood!

&nbsp;
After a long day of work, what better way to buka puasa with a nice pesto pasta! One of the best parts of it is the fact that the pesto came with 3 big prawns! To add a little flavour, you can add on a little parmesan cheese to bring out the flavour in the dish!

The Pastabilities Are Endless At La Risata, Ampang!

Collecting sneakers is one of the more expensive hobbies out there as many would like to chase the hype of owning the freshest kicks.
But one question that sets the bar is, how much would you really pay for a pair of sneakers?
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/hbXArWrJ3CEAAAAC/new-shoes-nice.gif" />
&nbsp;
Recently, luxury fashion brand Balenciaga had unveiled their &ldquo;Paris Sneaker&rdquo; collection which features some limited edition of their high-top sneakers. The price is set at S$2,590 (~RM8261.33) each which sounds reasonable considering it&rsquo;s Balenciaga.
But the shoes feature a design that&rsquo;s &ldquo;fully destroyed&rdquo; and some with a distressed canvas and rough edges around it making it look pre-worn.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653035552/unsigned/v6vi3uwxfbhsehlxnxqz.png" />
&nbsp;
Now these ones up here are the rough edges and pre-worn looking sneakers.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653035560/unsigned/j9mjzp4yro5wmhfthota.png" />
&nbsp;
The &ldquo;extra destroyed&rdquo; shoes are one real ones in question. They quite literally look like they were pulled out of the trash and was abandoned somewhere for years as it features extremely worn and scuffed materials, worn marks and dirtied.
Now why would someone do this&hellip; or is this a sign of Balenciaga calling out the French for being very dirty?
Currently, Balenciaga says that the extra destroyed sneakers will have only 100 pairs and is available on their website in either black or white.
&ldquo;Worn for a lifetime&rdquo;
The French designer company explains that the limited-edition shoes and more specifically the &ldquo;extra destroyed&rdquo; ones suggest that the sneakers were meant to be worn for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, despite their efforts, it seems like they received more backlash than support from consumers worldwide. Yeah, no one wants to pay that much for a shoe that&rsquo;s looks like that. In fact, you could probably look better in a worn-out pair of converse instead.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653035601/unsigned/joqaffqp2xg1lerdcpqv.jpg" alt="See, even if beaten up, they still look good and hold its shape." width="500" height="333" /> See, even if beaten up, they still look good and hold its shape.
&nbsp;
Here are some of the comments from netizens about the beaten-up shoes:
As quoted by my senior editor, &ldquo;The shoe looks like s***&rdquo;. Yep. He&rsquo;s not wrong.

Heavy criticism from the Chinese consumer market
It&rsquo;s no stranger that the brand had sparked anger among Chinese consumers. Recently they had over 2 million consumers voicing their criticism over Weibo and saying the shoe is too ugly and said it shows how the wealthy can be insensitive and tone-deaf.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DzdyJk6P3FE" width="378" height="671" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Back in 2018, the brand was boycotted by many after a staff had roughly manhandled a Chinese tourist at a Balenciaga outlet in Printemps department store in Paris. In 2020, they received more backlash after having launched a series of bags for Chinese Valentine&rsquo;s Day where many say it was gaudy and insulting.
Well, I&rsquo;m no shoe collector (at least for those expensive hyped-up shoes) but I do love getting new pairs to use and rotate them occasionally. Even if I had the money, I wouldn&rsquo;t bother getting these shoes cause it seriously just doesn&rsquo;t justify the price.

RM8,261 For A Pair Of Extremely Trashed Balenciaga Shoes? Count Me Out.

I&rsquo;m sure many of us who remember those good ol&rsquo; school days, there&rsquo;s always one trouble maker in class which can potentially get the whole class in trouble.
Punishments in class are normally pretty light from standing outside the class or perhaps submitting extra work to the teacher. Unfortunately, that&rsquo;s not the case for this incident which had landed one teenager in the hospital after the punishment almost took a near-fatal turn.
The incident happened at Foon Yew High School in Kulai, Johor where a teacher had punished the whole class after one student failed to complete their homework. Due to that, the students were allegedly made to run 30 rounds around the school&rsquo;s volleyball court with their mask on.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653026921/unsigned/ezcdpzu8pr8levy9v8b2.png" />
&nbsp;
As the class served the punishment, the girl had felt ill after running 15 rounds and was allowed to walk the remaining rounds. Unfortunately, when she got home, her condition had worsened as her heart rate accelerated to 200bpm which caused her to go into shock. She had been rushed to the hospital and was subsequently admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
School initially brushed off the incident
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653026934/unsigned/u1t2ki5qttbhivykyiau.jpg" />
&nbsp;
In a Facebook post which had already been deleted, the girl&rsquo;s mother stated that she school had brushed off the incident after several days as she wanted to discuss about it.
"They told me the issue had been settled and that the school did not enforce mask-wearing during physical activity&rdquo; she said. She was also rejected upon a request to meet the school&rsquo;s principal.
The thing that didn&rsquo;t make sense was that the teenager had told her mother that the teacher had insisted the class to wear their masks even when exercising (which under the current law, is not required when doing so). The students were only allowed to take their mask off when feeling unwell.
Principal issues apology over the incident
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjolynkua%2Fposts%2F10159854196257264&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="494" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
As the mother was dissatisfied about the behaviour, she had shared the incident online but once it gained the attention of many, the principal had contacted her to issue an apology.
Subsequently they invited the parents for a meeting on 18 May where a formal apology from the teacher involved and the principal as they admitted that they handled the mater inappropriately. The mother had also indicated that after the whole ordeal, she won&rsquo;t be pursuing the matter.
Thankfully the school took proper responsibility right after but a friendly reminder to all is no not push yourself or someone during intense physical activities as we won&rsquo;t know what consequence it may bring. 
Another reminder is that when playing sports, its also better to not wear your mask as it restricts oxygen flow to your body.

Gone Too Far? Teenage In ICU After Intense Class Punishment By School Teacher

Well, it looks like Malaysians will have something to look forward to as SpaceX had recently noted that their Starlink satellite Internet service in will be available in 32 different countries throughout the world in 2023. One of them being Malaysia!
Initially the internet service belonging to Elon Musk is supposed to be available here in 2022. In a post by Lowyat, they had enquired with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) if SpaceX had obtained the necessary regulatory operation approvals in Malaysia but had never got a response.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653015681/unsigned/ewofsi7sjgyivg5jd056.webp" />
&nbsp;
Just as most Malaysians were wondering about Starlink, Azmin Ali who is the Minister of International Trade had tweeted about the government&rsquo;s view on Starlink.
You can read the thread below:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

He is currently in the United States as he is on a trade talk tour where he&rsquo;s met representatives from Amazon and even Microsoft. As he goes to meet SpaceX, he was greeted by Andrew Matlock who is the Director of Commercial Sales alongside Jonathan Hofeller and Samuel Gibbs IV who are the Vice Presidents at Starlink.
Now accepting orders from Malaysia
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653015707/unsigned/pnk7prsalevierdmhrf4.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Even before it&rsquo;s officially launched, those interested can already reserve their Starlink by placing a deposit of USD99 (~RM435) and it will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis. The system will work as long as the area is within its satellite coverage and will require a Network Facility or Service Provider license (NFP/NSP) from the MCMC.
So, how much is it?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653015743/unsigned/rzmjlbrycrbwppff6oq3.jpg" />
&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re looking forward to Starlink, it&rsquo;s going to cost you quite a bit as the price had recently increased. The hardware alone cost USD599 (~RM2,638) and the monthly subscription fee cost USD110 (~RM485).
For the price, its expected that you&rsquo;ll get between 100 to 200 Mbps with latency as low as 20ms in most locations. This is possible thanks to their low orbit earth (LEO) satellites which revolves around at a much lower altitude compared to geostationary satellites.
All honesty, this is much better than the current ConnectMe satellite service by MEASAT. It does provide 100% coverage around Malaysia but has download speeds up to 30Mbps and a high ping of 500ms.
Is Starlink worth it?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653015789/unsigned/of4ysdugumehgmgl8igl.jpg" />
&nbsp;
In my own personal opinion, only if you&rsquo;re in a more rural area where internet access can be limited, then yes, it would be worth the price, but you would probably want to share the cost among a few people, so it doesn&rsquo;t put a hole in your wallet.
But if you&rsquo;re still in the city like most of us, it would still make more sense to subscribe to the normal fibre packages from Maxis, Time or even Unifi as it is more cost effective and can provide higher speeds.

Big Fan Of Elon? Well, You Might Be Able To Get His 'Starlink' Services Soon

It&rsquo;s been just shy of 2 months since the China Eastern Airlines crash.
The crash took the lives of 132 passengers + crew on board.
Read: <a href="https://myc.com.my/articles/1132/breaking-china-eastern-airlines-crashes-with-132-victims-on-board">Breaking: China Eastern Airlines Crashes With 132 Victims On Board</a>
After all this time, it&rsquo;s taken some time for investigators to find out what truly happened to the flight as the airlines had a clean safety history till this happened. So far, the investigators had ruled out any mechanical or technical faults with the jet.
The flight had departed form Kunming and was on its way to Guangzhou.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947536/unsigned/t4bz4lo2rouxf64fqkoc.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The black box of the plane was recovered and sent to the US, and investigators took a look at the data, and it showed that someone on-board the plane had input controls to send the plane into a nose dive. It was cruising at 29,000 feet before suddenly going into the vertical dive and slamming into the remote hillside as seen on CCTV footage that captured the final moments of the flight.

&ldquo;The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit&rdquo; quoted an individual familiar with American officials&rsquo; preliminary assessment.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947567/unsigned/ykoecgtcsx5g4mbzyhwn.jpg" alt="The condition of the hillside after the plane had crashed nose first into it." width="700" height="467" /> The condition of the hillside after the plane had crashed nose first into it. 
&nbsp;
A report by CNN stated that the plane had three qualified pilots on board + flight crew and maintenance personnel were all said to be in good health and had no financial issues as indicated by the airline company.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947588/unsigned/vxuoxis0xoigvn1vj2sp.png" />
&nbsp;
But since data shows that the crash was deliberately done from inside the plane, this would mark the third major disaster for aviation history in the last decade as it&rsquo;s related to pilot suicide.
What about the voice recordings on the flight?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947600/unsigned/rlvep1onxavcekju4iow.webp" />
&nbsp;
As chilling as it can be, the purpose of a black box on a plane is to help record anything that happens on a plane and in the. There&rsquo;s 2 of them on board, 1 for the instruments and computer readings and the other is for voice communication in the cockpit.
Investigators are still analysing the data and due to the black boxes being badly damaged, it will ne a while before we find the true reason behind the crash. It&rsquo;s also noted that if the pilots were attempting a crash landing of sort, the landing gears of the plane would have been deployed or the flaps of the plane wouldn&rsquo;t have been pointing straight.

Investigations say that the nose dive was done intentionally which leads investigators to think the pilot may have had mental health issues.

China Eastern Airlines Crash May Have Been Intentional

Looks like Malaysia really can&rsquo;t catch a break huh?
From political issues, economy issues with the rise of goods going up and now data privacy issues as well. Recently there was a report that the data of at least 22.5 million Malaysian&rsquo;s were put up for sale.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652929087/unsigned/j7lktnl2fqcuvprh3ppx.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The data allegedly contains the entire adult population in Malaysia born between 1940 to 2004 which full details such as their full name, IC number, address, mobile number, gender, race, religion and the photo of your IC.
It was listed for sale for US$10,000 (~RM43,870) and also accepted in Bitcoin or Monero cryptocurrency.
Dato Seri Hamzah Zainudin, who is the Home Affairs Minister, had denied that the data came from the National Registration Department (JPN) and he says that authorities with the assistance of the Home Affairs ministry will be investigating the individuals behind the sale of personal data.

As of now, there are no further details on separate sales of the data and eKYC photo which allegedly came from the Election Commission&rsquo;s voter registration site.

&nbsp;
The said individual claims that the data was obtained from JPN&rsquo;s MyIdentity API which has 160GB worth of data which covers all Malaysian adults. It was posted on an online forum which acts like a marketplace with many others offering similar data leaks. As for this individual, the person claims to be the same party behind last years data sale of almost 4 million Malaysians.
If you thought this was fake, the seller even provided the data of the Home Minister himself as proof of authenticity.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652929161/unsigned/oicpu4nxotvocks1t9nl.jpg" />

<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652929174/unsigned/w7nkzibcmq43jslk8c1j.webp" />
&nbsp;
Following the issue that happened last year, Hamzah confirmed that the data leak specifically is not from JPN. He also confirmed that the firewall for the data security control system is very secure. JPN has also ensured Malaysians on the security and integrity of the data.
The Star reported that at least 104 agencies are permitted to use the MyIdentity data and serves as a data-sharing platform between various government agencies. Despite the police report being lodged and investigations being carried out, there has been no clear answer on how the data was leaked.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652929225/unsigned/zfftycro4acrtnkfzbu7.webp" />
&nbsp;
Although the source is not directly from JPN, there is still a concern as in recent times, Malaysians have been receiving many scam calls and phishing attacks from people impersonating officials from banks, police and even courthouses.
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/9LltiGqhawYAAAAC/big-yikes.gif" />
&nbsp;
Hopefully the government will solve this issue as it&rsquo;s truly unacceptable for our own data to be out there. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Is Your Data Safe? JPN Claims Not At Fault For Info Leak Of 22.5 Million Malaysians

If you think that racism cases and issues in Malaysia are awful, wait till you see this. Prayer goes out to all the 10 African Americans that got murder in this shooting. Yes you read correctly, 10 lives were taken in only 1 shooting. Not to raise any racism issues here but the shooter is a Caucasian teen. It happened at a grocery store at Buffalo City in New York, and the shooter went to the grocery store way ahead of time just to observe and plan out his whole scheme.&nbsp;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652863188/unsigned/dicxdcr9yum0pwtpeyni.png" />
The messed up part about this shooting is, the shooter, name Payton Gendron is only 18 years&rsquo; old. Moreover, he actually wrote out his whole intention and plan to commit the murder. Like, who does that? Admit to committing a crime before it even happens? He even posted it on his discord, and it went viral, that is really messed up.

The planning and site surveying all happened on March 8, and on a social media post on March 10, Gendron wrote "I'm going to have to kill that security guard at Tops. I hope he doesn't kill me or even hurt me instantly," as reported by CNN. As a matter of fact, that was not the only hint that he posted on his social media. According to all the messages and posts written and posted by Payton Gendron himself, we can say that his hatred towards black people or should I say African Americans is indeed strong.

He was was solely motivated by white supremacy, he drew specific inspiration from a white supremacist gunman who killed 51 people in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019. Gendron originally planned to attack in late 2021 and early 2022, but his plan was disturbed and delayed due to several reasons that were not mentioned on the news. Shockingly enough, the shooter was not plead guilty after 10 murders, wow, that is why the Americans are angry and statin that &ldquo;this is obviously a hate crime towards black people&rdquo;.

Lets bring it all back, the murderer of this case is only 18 years&rsquo; old, in Asia, we might think that the parents did not raise the kid well, or the kid is being affected and brain washed by his friend around him. Seems to me that Gendron was not motivated or affected by any of the factors that I&rsquo;ve mentioned, but he&rsquo;s actually motivated by the news he saw on social media or other media like radio or television.

Being a normal human being like me, all I can do is influence people around me, hoping that they do not tunr towards racism and cause crimes and complications like this. But as a news and media reporter, they have the power to reach out to millions of audiences all at once, it is very important that they take the responsibility to spread awareness and not lead the audiences towards the wrong path. The message being shown in the media can sometimes be misleading, all you need is one wrong message and it will lead someone towards the wrong path.

All in all, we as understanding adults must stop this type of hate crime from ever occurring again. In the future when we have children of our own, we must have the responsibility to guide and nurture them towards the right path. The world needs more good people, period.

Plan Of Attack Is Not Only For Superheroes, Thugs And Terrorist Have To Do It Too

The government has reassured that the wheat export ban by India following its heatwave is not expected to affect Malaysia's wheat flour supply.&nbsp;
According to Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP), 80 percent of wheat are imported from Australia, with the remaining from United States, Canada, and Ukraine. Therefore, India's wheat export ban will not affect our local wheat flour supply.&nbsp;
On May 17 2022, KPDNHEP tweeted that a total of 2,200 KPDNHEP enforcement personnel would be monitoring to ensure the supply of subsidised and non-subsidised flour is stable in the market.&nbsp;

On May 13 2022, External Trade director-general under the Trade Ministry announced that India has halted an immediate wheat export to improve its food security. The global wheat price rose drastically following the ban. Wheat export to other countries would only be allowed based on approval and demand of the government.&nbsp;
In the 2021-22 finance year, India exported seven million tonnes of wheat worth about US$2 billion (RM8.8 billion) where Bangladesh bought half of it. Recent media reports mentioned that the country is facing high inflation due to increased global prices, apart from the wheat production because of heatwave.&nbsp;
Either way, we should be prepared for food inflation. Seeing how the country also suffered from recent global shortages (potato and chicken), it is the best thing to do.
