third generation

A15 bionic chip

Apple announced its new launch on the new iPhone SE this morning, March 9, alarming customers with its A15 Bionic chip, 5G, and what most to flex is that the model comes with longer battery life!
"iPhone SE has been an incredibly popular choice with our existing users and for new iPhone customers, thanks to its iconic design, exceptional performance, and affordable price. This year we've built the most powerful and durable iPhone SE yet, with better battery life thanks to A15 Bionic, the same chip as our iPhone 13 lineup that also unlocks advanced camera features like Smart HDR 4, Photographic Styles, and Deep Fusion," said Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, Kaiann Drance.
What To Expect With iPhone SE 3 Battery Life
With iPhone SE 3, you get 2 hours more for video playback and 10 hours more for audio than the SE 2 or iPhone 8.
That puts the iPhone SE 3 battery life on par with the iPhone 12 mini but is still less than the iPhone 13 lineup.

A Vietnamese passenger was fined VND4 million (approximately RM650) after joking about carrying a bomb while disembarking from a Malaysia Airlines flight at Hanoi&rsquo;s Noi Bai International Airport. The offhand remark triggered a full-scale security response, serving as a stark reminder that jokes about explosives are no laughing matter in the context of aviation safety.
Offhand Comment Triggers Emergency Protocol
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cde1affadcb70c47155c98f20091da1ccef4e5e6360d5c11f549262c1d2c9494" />
The incident took place on 22 June 2025, shortly after Malaysia Airlines flight MH752 from Kuala Lumpur landed in Hanoi. As passengers were exiting the aircraft, a flight attendant approached one of the male passengers and inquired about the long, black carry-on case he was holding. The man responded with a single word&mdash;&ldquo;Bomb.&rdquo;
Though seemingly brief, the response set off the airport's full emergency response protocol. The crew immediately alerted authorities, leading to the passenger being escorted off the aircraft. He was detained and questioned by a coordinated team involving immigration police, airport police, aviation security personnel, Malaysia Airlines officials, and staff from Vietnam Airport Ground Services (VIAGS).
No Threat Found, But Fine Imposed
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b8ff922903011df2a333e3a3ca82d80794896a141d616dcadb40aaf68b3911ba" />
A comprehensive inspection was carried out on both the passenger and his luggage. The black case in question was thoroughly examined and found to contain only a computer keyboard and a mouse. No weapons, explosives, or prohibited items were discovered.
The man later admitted that his comment was intended as a joke, claiming he was unaware of how serious such statements are taken in aviation contexts. He apologised to the authorities, acknowledging his poor judgement. Despite the absence of any real threat, he was fined VND4 million under Vietnamese civil aviation regulations for causing public alarm and disrupting airport operations.
Airport Authorities Issue Public Warning
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8712c719150c06edfb4949fa352c1ed783659e0fbfad132310cbd2414cdce163" />
Following the incident, Noi Bai International Airport issued an official statement on social media, particularly through its Facebook page, reminding all passengers that jokes involving bombs, weapons, or explosives are strictly prohibited in airport areas and on aircraft.
The airport stressed that such comments, even when made casually or in jest, can incite fear and panic among other passengers, delay flight operations, and consume emergency resources. They also reiterated that security protocols must be triggered immediately in such situations, regardless of intent or context.
An officer from the airport&rsquo;s Emergency Command Centre added that had the joke been made during boarding or pre-flight procedures, the consequences could have been even more severe. &ldquo;The flight could have been delayed or grounded, and security screening halted,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Even false alarms can cost time, money, and cause stress to hundreds of people.&rdquo;
Public Urged to Avoid Security-Related Jokes
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1e96895fcf09e56ef86f81b56c7a3a7a45ef2bcbffa2ff4477128762c2b15057" />
Officials used the opportunity to remind passengers to cooperate fully with security personnel and refrain from making inappropriate remarks. They also encouraged the public to educate family members, especially children, about the seriousness of airport security rules.
&ldquo;Anyone who violates these rules will be held fully accountable,&rdquo; read the official statement. &ldquo;Respecting these protocols helps ensure the safety and comfort of everyone travelling.&rdquo;
Malaysia Airlines and Aviation Safety Under Spotlight
While the incident was handled professionally, it once again places a spotlight on the challenges airlines and airports face in balancing passenger experience with strict safety enforcement. Malaysia Airlines has previously encountered similar situations. In one case a few years ago, a flight had to return to its departure airport after a passenger allegedly made a bomb threat mid-air. The situation resulted in the suspect&rsquo;s arrest, and other passengers were rebooked on alternative flights.
These incidents underscore the zero-tolerance stance that global aviation authorities take towards jokes or claims related to weapons, explosives, or threats&mdash;regardless of whether they are made in jest, frustration, or ignorance.
A Lesson for All Travellers
As international travel continues to rebound post-pandemic, authorities are urging greater awareness and responsibility among travellers. With security being a top priority in any airport, the public is reminded that even a single word&mdash;like &ldquo;bomb&rdquo;&mdash;can lead to detention, fines, and major delays.
Passengers are advised to always respond to security-related questions with clarity and seriousness. What might seem like a harmless joke to one person can quickly escalate into a full-blown security incident affecting hundreds of others.
In a time where air travel is becoming increasingly streamlined and digitised, one careless remark can still cause serious disruption. Let this incident serve as a cautionary tale: when it comes to airport security, it&rsquo;s better to be safe, respectful&mdash;and most importantly, silent&mdash;on sensitive topics.

Security doesn’t joke — and neither should you, especially in airports.

Vietnamese Passenger Fined RM650 Over Bomb Joke On Malaysia Airlines Flight

From 1st July 2025, Malaysians will be able to renew and activate their My50 unlimited travel pass entirely through the Touch &lsquo;n Go (TNG) eWallet app, as part of a nationwide push to digitalise public transport systems.
The days of long queues at Rapid KL counters may soon be over. According to Transport Minister Anthony Loke, Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, in partnership with Touch &lsquo;n Go, has launched a digital version of the My50 Travel Pass, offering greater convenience for urban commuters.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7025d3c6a0b48482f559a18b81fcf500320ad54c15f8900bbbd535ee01136293" />
Previously, renewing the monthly pass required commuters to line up and use their MyKad (NRIC) for activation. With the new system, users can perform the entire process from their smartphones in a matter of minutes &mdash; eliminating wait times that could previously stretch to 45 minutes or more at peak hours.
&ldquo;This move aligns with our efforts to modernise public transport and push towards a fully digital and cashless society,&rdquo; said Loke during the launch. &ldquo;A world-class public transport system is not just about having trains and buses; it&rsquo;s also about seamless digital infrastructure.&rdquo;
How It Works: My50 on Your Phone
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a46400e8448a568f599bd8dbbbd3c33cbd84e5e752c8080e34d145dfeedda329" />
To renew or activate the My50 Travel Pass through the TNG eWallet app, users must have:
<ul>
<li>An NFC-enabled smartphone</li>
<li>A Touch &lsquo;n Go Enhanced Card (with NFC)</li>
<li>A verified TNG eWallet account with eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) completed</li>
</ul>
Step-by-step guide to renewal:
<ol>
<li>Open the TNG eWallet app and complete eKYC if you haven&rsquo;t already.</li>
<li>Go to &ldquo;Travel Pass&rdquo; via the &ldquo;More&rdquo; tab on the home screen.</li>
<li>Tap your NFC-enabled TNG card on your phone to link it.</li>
<li>Select the My50 Travel Pass and your preferred activation date.</li>
<li>Agree to the terms and complete payment.</li>
<li>Tap your TNG card again to activate the pass.</li>
</ol>
The entire process can be done from home or on the go. Once activated, users will enjoy 30 days of unlimited rides on all Rapid KL services &ndash; including LRT, MRT, BRT, Monorail, and feeder buses &ndash; all for RM50 per month.
It&rsquo;s important to note that the My50 pass is only available to Malaysian citizens, and each pass can only be linked to one Touch &lsquo;n Go card at a time. A minimum card balance of RM5 is still required when using the pass on public transport.
A Boon for 250,000+ Users &mdash; and Growing
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d69cfbb72f313dab692e6584fa9241583cf46f8ea7f94084e20e0aa860c53d8c" />
As of 2024, the My50 Travel Pass had benefited over 180,000 commuters in the Klang Valley. That number is expected to grow significantly with the rollout of the digital version.
Prasarana CEO Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah said that the digital upgrade is designed to enhance user experience by reducing friction and expanding access to more tech-savvy urban dwellers.
&ldquo;This step is not just about saving time,&rdquo; said Azharuddin. &ldquo;It enhances the travel experience by giving more flexibility and convenience to passengers.&rdquo;
Part of a Bigger Digital Vision
The My50 digitalisation is part of a broader agenda to overhaul Malaysia&rsquo;s public transport infrastructure into a smarter, more efficient system. Loke confirmed that similar upgrades will be applied to other offerings, including the MyCity Pass, later this year.
He also called on public transport operators nationwide to adopt emerging technologies like AI-driven payment systems, to improve service quality and reduce human error.
&ldquo;All future town developments must consider smart mobility infrastructure such as integrated public transport hubs, walkable streets, and proper bus stops,&rdquo; Loke added, emphasising the need for holistic transport planning.
No Plans to Retire MyKad Activation (Yet)
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/28debd225e8b4a8f3bb66851e5f823e91d178dde2f2c55a66d2e96cc80465668" />
For those not ready to switch to the digital route, the MyKad-based renewal system will remain available for now. However, authorities are hopeful that the convenience and speed of the digital option will eventually make it the default choice for most users.
With over a quarter million users expected to benefit from the update, Prasarana is confident this initiative will also help boost public transport usage in a car-dependent society.
A Small Step for Users, a Big Leap for Public Transport
As Malaysia modernises its urban infrastructure, the digital My50 pass represents a meaningful leap toward smarter, more accessible mobility. By simplifying a routine process and removing barriers to entry, the initiative may just help turn daily commuters into lifelong public transport advocates.
And at just RM50 for unlimited travel &mdash; with no queues required &mdash; it's a compelling reason to leave the car at home.

My50 Digital Upgrade: Renew RM50 Unlimited Travel Pass via Touch ’n Go App Starting 1 July

A 20-year-old female student from Kuching, Sarawak, was tragically found murdered in her dormitory room at the Mutiara Ville condominium in Cyberjaya on Tuesday, 25 June 2025. The victim, who was pursuing a Bachelor&rsquo;s Degree in Physiotherapy at a private university, was discovered lying unconscious with serious head injuries by a close friend around 10am.
The friend had visited the unit after failing to get in touch with the victim and promptly alerted the authorities. Emergency services later confirmed that the student had died at the scene, with police quickly launching a murder investigation.
Alone During Semester Break
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a27ca1f433ff1ebe7867d4f714c31dc822958914defedef6964c01a1a73f4afc" />
According to early investigations, the victim had been living in a shared condominium unit with five housemates. However, all five had returned to their respective hometowns for the mid-year holidays on 21 June, leaving the young woman alone in the residence. She had reportedly stayed behind to prepare for her final examinations.
Sources revealed that she was well-liked and academically driven, and there had been no prior reports of disputes or personal issues that might have led to the violent incident.
No Signs of Forced Entry or Sexual Assault
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fa7573dcfc61eebfa33770dcbfc3ce40d15ad00045359d16bf890ae2ea59a08f" />
Sepang District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman, confirmed that there were no signs of a break-in or forced entry at the premises, suggesting the suspect may have gained access through other means.
A post-mortem conducted at the Serdang Hospital Forensic Department found that the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, inflicted by a hard object. Police also stated that the examination showed no evidence of sexual assault, correcting misinformation that had circulated online and across social media platforms.
Victim&rsquo;s Valuables Missing &amp; ATM Card Used After Murder
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0c2797f2d81b3a4c8d0126e4549aad0d3513216b20886115cde536f08b715f9c" />
Police reported that several personal belongings of the victim were missing from the scene, including her laptop, mobile phone, cash, and ATM card. Investigators believe these items were stolen either during or shortly after the murder, potentially to delay identification of the suspect or to profit from the crime.
In a disturbing development, Assistant Commissioner Norhizam confirmed that the victim&rsquo;s ATM card was used to make between five and six cash withdrawals following her death. These transactions occurred at various locations across the Klang Valley, providing police with important leads.
&ldquo;We believe the male suspect began withdrawing money almost immediately after the murder took place,&rdquo; Norhizam said. &ldquo;This has given us valuable digital evidence that we are now using to help trace the suspect&rsquo;s identity and location.&rdquo;
Police are reviewing CCTV footage from ATM machines and other public areas near the transaction sites in hopes of identifying the individual responsible.
Public Urged to Assist Investigation
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. Authorities are now calling on members of the public who may have any information about the incident or the suspect to come forward.
Witnesses or anyone with leads are urged to contact Investigating Officer Assistant Superintendent Mohd Husny Hussien directly at 012-930 7860 or report to the nearest police station.
The police also reminded the public to refrain from spreading false information or engaging in speculation, as this could compromise the investigation or cause unnecessary distress to the victim&rsquo;s family.
Shock and Grief in University Community
News of the murder has sent shockwaves through the university and the wider public. Friends, classmates, and lecturers expressed deep sorrow at the senseless loss of a bright and dedicated young woman. Many took to social media to offer condolences and call for swift justice.
&ldquo;This is every parent&rsquo;s nightmare,&rdquo; one user wrote. &ldquo;She stayed behind to study, and now her life is gone. We need answers.&rdquo;
A Call for Safety and Accountability
The incident has also sparked renewed discussions about campus safety, especially for students who stay behind during breaks or live alone. Some have called for enhanced security measures in student housing and improved monitoring of who enters and exits these residential areas.
Meanwhile, many netizens have urged the authorities to act swiftly in identifying and apprehending the suspect before more harm is done.

Cyberjaya Student Murder: Police Trace Suspect Who Used Victim’s ATM Card After Killing

Malaysia is poised to redefine the future of urban living through Kota Madani, an upcoming RM4 billion development in Putrajaya&rsquo;s Precinct 19. Touted as a national benchmark in urban planning, the township promises a revolutionary concept &mdash; a completely car-free environment at ground level, supported by artificial intelligence (AI), green infrastructure, and integrated public services.
The project, covering 102.5 acres (41.28 hectares), is being spearheaded by Putrajaya Holdings and will be developed under a Build&ndash;Lease&ndash;Maintain&ndash;Transfer (BLMT) model. Upon completion, Kota Madani is expected to house over 30,000 residents, primarily civil servants, and offer an unparalleled quality of life in Malaysia&rsquo;s administrative capital.
No Cars Above Ground: Reimagining Urban Mobility
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7e7d2c439f30badcd7cb5f2397acebfc6ac9823e9ebca8653aea7d81d036ed4f" />
In a bold departure from conventional urban design, all vehicle access in Kota Madani will be confined to a massive underground system. According to Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) president, Datin Mazrina Abdul Khalid, cars and motorcycles will be routed directly into a three-storey underground car park upon entering the township.
&ldquo;The surface podium level from the fifth floor upwards will be entirely pedestrianised,&rdquo; Mazrina said. &ldquo;This allows residents to safely and comfortably move between homes, schools, shops, parks, and mosques without encountering a single car.&rdquo;
This car-free concept is designed to encourage walking, reduce noise pollution, and eliminate the need for road crossings, while also contributing to a healthier and more community-oriented lifestyle.

Kota Madani is not merely a property development, but a vision of a smarter, more harmonious urban society. The township will integrate advanced technology with environmental sustainability to create a truly intelligent city.
Key smart features include:
<ul>
<li>AI-powered surveillance and facility management systems</li>
<li>Solar energy systems</li>
<li>Rainwater harvesting</li>
<li>Rooftop gardens and urban farms</li>
<li>Green pedestrian networks and communal spaces</li>
</ul>
According to Mazrina, these features are aligned with the township&rsquo;s deeper purpose &mdash; to nurture the soul and strengthen community bonds through thoughtful, human-centric planning.
&ldquo;This is not just a concrete jungle. We are creating a living, breathing ecosystem that promotes values of connection &mdash; with each other, with the environment, and with spiritual well-being,&rdquo; she said.
Phase-by-Phase Development with Holistic Facilities
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0eec531081c672fd5818a59923d6a008b854254ed8aa19ebde30cf78f640914c" />
The township will be developed in stages, each designed to deliver essential infrastructure alongside housing. A total of 10,000 residential units will be constructed, with a mix of high-rise and vertical living solutions to maximise space efficiency and walkability.
Development phases include:
<ul>
<li>Phase 1: 3,000 housing units, a primary school, and core infrastructure.</li>
<li>Phase 2: 7,000 units, a secondary school, a main mosque, and a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centre.</li>
<li>Phase 3: Completion of the entire master plan, including commercial zones, community halls, a bazaar area, and police posts.</li>
</ul>
All amenities will be within a 10 to 15-minute walking radius, eliminating the need for daily car use and fostering self-sustaining neighbourhoods.
No Public Funding Involved
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/88ff436bad85c10bfd987a45b361347e506e165daefc12a9366e50b57a8bb8bd" />
In an effort to address concerns about cost and financial transparency, Minister in the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Department (Federal Territories), Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, confirmed that the entire RM4 billion cost will be borne by the developer. Under the BLMT model, the private developer will fund, build, and maintain the township for 25 years before transferring ownership to the government.
&ldquo;There will be no taxpayer money used,&rdquo; Dr Zaliha stated, addressing criticisms about national spending priorities.
This financial structure is seen as a way to deliver large-scale innovation without placing further burden on the public purse, while ensuring long-term value for the government.
Public Concerns: Practicality and Priorities
Despite the project&rsquo;s futuristic appeal, public reaction has been mixed. Critics on social media have questioned whether the government should focus on fixing existing infrastructure problems &mdash; such as pothole-ridden roads and outdated drainage systems &mdash; before investing in ambitious new townships.
One of the most prominent concerns raised involves Malaysia&rsquo;s frequent flash floods. With Kota Madani&rsquo;s heavy reliance on underground roadways and car parks, many worry about the feasibility and safety of such a system in a country prone to intense tropical downpours.
There are also sceptics who doubt whether demand for this kind of lifestyle exists among the broader Malaysian population, especially given rising property costs and public transport limitations in many areas.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

An Urban Blueprint for the Future
Regardless of the criticism, Kota Madani represents a major leap in Malaysia&rsquo;s approach to urban planning. It&rsquo;s a vision that combines advanced technology, ecological responsibility, and social wellbeing &mdash; offering a bold alternative to the congested, car-centric cities of today.
With its blend of vertical development, smart infrastructure, and people-first planning, Kota Madani could become the prototype for future townships not just in Malaysia, but across Southeast Asia.
&ldquo;We want to create a township that doesn&rsquo;t just serve the body but also the soul &mdash; a place where people can live with dignity, health, and connection,&rdquo; Mazrina said.
The project is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2027.

Kota Madani: Malaysia’s Ambitious RM4 Billion Car-Free Smart City Unveiled In Putrajaya

Korean-American rapper and singer Jessi is preparing for a long-awaited return to the music scene, nearly eight months after retreating from public life following a high-profile controversy. The final months of 2024 proved to be deeply challenging for the soloist, whose real name is Ho Hyun-joo. The artist found herself at the centre of backlash surrounding a violent incident involving a fan during a night out in Seoul&rsquo;s trendy Apgujeong district.
According to initial reports, a young fan had approached Jessi to request a photo, only to be allegedly assaulted by an acquaintance of the star. At the time, Jessi was accused of inaction and leaving the scene without helping the victim. The public outcry was swift and harsh, especially on social media, where the rapper&rsquo;s name trended for days.
However, extended CCTV footage released later painted a more nuanced picture&mdash;showing that Jessi had, in fact, attempted to intervene before stepping away once the situation had calmed. This prompted a reassessment of the incident by some, though the reputational damage had largely already been done.
Legal Scrutiny and Fallout with Her Label
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0f634682faa76802b1e0f0b03dd809fdff0634db74433d55a6454677c67456f5" />
In the weeks that followed, Jessi was summoned to the Seoul Gangnam Police Precinct as part of an official investigation. She was reportedly questioned on allegations of intimidation and aiding a suspect, as her acquaintance was accused of being directly involved in the fan assault. Jessi maintained that she did not know the assailant personally, although conflicting reports suggested she may have been previously acquainted with at least one individual in the group.
Eventually, the police dropped the case due to insufficient evidence, and she was formally cleared of wrongdoing. Nonetheless, the controversy took a toll on her career. Her label at the time, DOD Entertainment, terminated their exclusive contract with her, and Jessi subsequently withdrew from public appearances and domestic promotions. Despite issuing a public apology&mdash;where she expressed a wish to "go back to that time" and act differently&mdash;public sentiment in Korea remained largely negative. With her reputation bruised, Jessi opted to focus on overseas activities instead.
A Surprise Teaser Revealed

</blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

On 23 June 2025, Jessi made a dramatic return to the spotlight by uploading a teaser video on Instagram, YouTube, and other official channels. The teaser, styled in a retro broadcast format, shows an old-school television with a red banner reading &ldquo;NEWSFLASH,&rdquo; alongside the text &ldquo;JESSI 2025.06.27.&rdquo; The short clip features a bold melody, which fans speculate hints at a throwback or retro concept for her upcoming release.
While it&rsquo;s unclear if &ldquo;NEWSFLASH&rdquo; is the title of her comeback single or just part of a broader campaign, one thing is certain&mdash;Jessi is back. In her post, she thanked her fans, affectionately known as &ldquo;Jebbies,&rdquo; for their unwavering support. &ldquo;Thank you, and I appreciate you so much, Jebbies! I wouldn&rsquo;t be here without your support. Ya&rsquo;ll are so fckin special to me and you know that!! 😭😭 teaser drops Wednesday at 9pm KST!! We back outside baby!!! ❤️❤️ LOVE YA&rsquo;LL,&rdquo; she wrote.
She clarified that the teaser date, 27 June, marks the release of the teaser itself&mdash;not the full single&mdash;though fans are already speculating about when the complete track and music video might drop.
Fan Reactions: &ldquo;The Queen Is Back&rdquo;
The response online has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, particularly from international fans who have stood by Jessi throughout the controversy. Comments such as &ldquo;The queen is back,&rdquo; &ldquo;We missed you so much,&rdquo; and &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been too long!&rdquo; flooded her Instagram and YouTube pages. For many, the teaser marks a symbolic return of a beloved artist whose unapologetic attitude and honest lyrics set her apart in the often tightly controlled K-pop world.
Still, others have expressed cautious optimism, wondering if her comeback will be met with a different reception in South Korea compared to international markets, where fan support for Jessi has remained relatively strong.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/809c77cb35d7d83fa9d05def914994e9968b4ff7364356a459fefdfbc189ecfe" />
A Return with Something to Prove
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/490e6b462b23087c53b42b5794229d085f6088b1e354d0c6bbdee4b0fec948ed" />
This comeback signals more than just new music&mdash;it represents Jessi reclaiming control of her narrative. Despite the police dropping the charges and her attempts to explain the misunderstanding, her experience highlights the fragility of public image in the K-pop industry. Scandals, even those based on incomplete or misleading information, can derail careers in a matter of hours.
Jessi&rsquo;s story is a reminder of the double standards and intense scrutiny faced by women in the entertainment industry, especially those who are outspoken or break conventional moulds. Known for her fearless personality and powerful performances, Jessi has always pushed boundaries. Her return to the stage&mdash;after what many would consider a career-threatening ordeal&mdash;may be her boldest move yet.
What&rsquo;s Next?
With the teaser now live and a full release on the horizon, attention turns to what Jessi&rsquo;s new music will sound like&mdash;and how the public will respond. Will the retro visuals hint at a disco-inspired sound? Or will Jessi return to her hip-hop roots with lyrics addressing her recent struggles?
Regardless of the musical direction, one thing is clear: Jessi is stepping back into the spotlight on her own terms. Whether this comeback marks a full return to form or just a single release remains to be seen, but her reappearance is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about moments in K-pop this year.
Stay tuned for the official teaser release on 27 June, with more details on the single expected to follow soon.

Jessi Returns To Music: Teases Comeback With “NEWSFLASH” After Months-Long Hiatus And Controversy

In a dramatic conclusion to one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most high-profile political court cases in recent years, former Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has been fully acquitted of all corruption-related charges by the Court of Appeal. The unanimous decision, delivered by a three-judge panel, reverses the Kuala Lumpur High Court&rsquo;s previous conviction, which had sentenced the Muar MP to seven years in prison, two strokes of the rotan, and a RM10 million fine.
Justice Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, who chaired the panel, announced the decision on 25 June 2025, alongside Justices Datuk Azman Abdullah and Datuk Noorin Badaruddin. Justice Noorin, delivering the court&rsquo;s judgment, emphasised that the original trial had been marred by serious legal and procedural missteps, leading the panel to conclude that Syed Saddiq should never have been convicted in the first place.
Flawed Trial and Misinterpretation of Evidence
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/27f046aa3e7b4c80ad58476b722c74ee1e628d04802acb2c433be0cbd3c44c2a" />
Justice Noorin explained that the trial judge had erred significantly in assessing the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defence. In particular, she stated that the judge failed to consider key pieces of contradictory evidence and had accepted witness testimony that may have been made under duress from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
&ldquo;The learned trial judge did not fairly evaluate the defence and wrongly treated it as a mere denial,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;There was no element of dishonesty when Syed Saddiq instructed his staff to withdraw party funds, as he was legally entitled to do so at the time.&rdquo;
The court ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove the core elements of the offences, particularly the intent required for criminal breach of trust (CBT), misappropriation, and money laundering. According to the judgment, the failure to properly direct the trial and the misinterpretation of legal standards warranted full appellate intervention.
The Charges and What They Meant
Syed Saddiq, 32, had been convicted in 2023 on four charges:
<ul>
<li>Abetting criminal breach of trust involving RM1 million from Bersatu Youth (ARMADA) funds;</li>
<li>Dishonestly misusing RM120,000 from a company linked to ARMADA, allegedly for personal use;</li>
<li>Two counts of money laundering, involving RM50,000 each, transferred into his Amanah Saham Bumiputera account.</li>
</ul>
The High Court had ordered the sentences for CBT and misappropriation to run consecutively, meaning he faced seven years in jail. The money laundering convictions would have added an additional two years, running concurrently. Syed Saddiq&rsquo;s sentence also included two strokes of the rotan and a RM10 million fine. The sentence had been stayed pending the appeal.
Emotional Reactions in the Courtroom
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cdd02d6ed53eaeba4e11ad74023588190db62a193c79db105cdfc8cf2a57256e" />
The former minister&rsquo;s reaction to the acquittal was visibly emotional. Dressed in a black suit and tie, Syed Saddiq nodded silently and wiped away tears as the judgment was read. Once the verdict was delivered, he embraced his mother and father, Syed Abdul Rahman Abdullah Al-Sagoff, before performing sujud syukur &mdash; a prostration of gratitude &mdash; on the steps of the courtroom.
Present during the hearing was actress and singer Bella Astillah, a close friend of the family, who was seen seated with his relatives, wearing a floral blue baju kurung.
Legal Teams and Courtroom Proceedings
Syed Saddiq was represented by a formidable defence team comprising Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden and Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, while Deputy Public Prosecutors Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin and Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan led the prosecution.
The court has since ordered that his passport and bail money be returned. The Attorney General&rsquo;s Chambers has not yet confirmed whether it will seek to appeal the decision to the Federal Court.
Looking Forward: Redemption or Return?
For now, Syed Saddiq walks free with his name cleared and reputation restored. While it remains to be seen whether he will return to frontline politics or take time to regroup, his acquittal could open the door for a political comeback &mdash; especially among younger voters and reformists who had once seen him as a symbol of a new generation of leadership.
Whether this legal victory marks the end of his troubles or the beginning of a renewed political chapter, one thing is clear: the court&rsquo;s decision has not only vindicated Syed Saddiq, but also reignited discussions around prosecutorial fairness, judicial independence, and the fine line between politics and justice in Malaysia.
