<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They are called Little Miss and Mr Men, which are usually used as memes to sum up one&rsquo;s identity or behaviours with the descriptions like &ldquo;Little Miss doesn&rsquo;t like to drive&rdquo; or&nbsp; &ldquo;Little Miss Sarcastic Friend&rdquo;.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are 5000 posts tagging #LittleMissMemes and over 404,000 posts mentioning #LittleMiss on Instagram. Meanwhile, the hashtags #LittleMiss and #LittleMissTrend have accumulated 103.3 million views and 1.6 million views respectively on Tik Tok.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><strong>Little Miss&rsquo;s Origin Story</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you join the hype of remaking these memes for your own expressions, do you understand what </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">actually </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">are these popular cartoons? These viral characters of course do not come from nowhere.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They are the works of Roger Hargreaves, an English illustrator and writer producing children's books. Taken from his Mr Men and Little Miss book series, these characters have regained another lifetime and enjoyed their fame after 3 decades of being buried beneath the memories of the old generations.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659597538/unsigned/bdkbfccduoqddqcn0q13.jpg" alt="Re" width="465" height="323" /></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The inspiration for the book series first hit Hargreaves when he asked his son - Adam to visualise a tickle in image. Thus, the orange figure with a blue hat was born, paving the way for the success of the Little Miss and Mr Men series that sold over 100 million copies globally and turned into many TV shows. After he died in 1988, his art and stories was handled by his son, who continued to draw and publish his works to extend his legacy.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Given that the book series illustrates how the characters&rsquo; personalities affect their lives, it seems pretty logical to use them as memes to poke fun at our actions.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3><strong>The Debate Of The First Little Miss Meme&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roger Hargreaves would not have thought that his characters would become a cultural phenomenon amongst Gen Z and millennials in 2022.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is what most believe - </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjGxlbOhGX/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@juulpuppy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> posted the first &lsquo;Little Miss&rsquo; meme on April 19 2022, which has garnered a huge interest with 52,000 likes on Instagram. However, </span><a href="https://sea.mashable.com/life/20927/whats-the-story-behind-the-instagram-little-miss-meme"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mashable reports </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">that there was a &ldquo;Little Miss&rdquo; meme post that preceded that.

The Story About Little Miss Meme : Where Did It Come From?

<p>Starting 1 July 2025, electricity consumers in Peninsular Malaysia will experience a major transformation in how their electricity usage is billed. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), guided by the Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga or ST), is rolling out a restructured electricity tariff framework that prioritises transparency, fairness, and closer reflection of actual market dynamics.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>A New Era of Clarity and Efficiency</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Under Regulatory Period 4 (RP4) of the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR), the revamped tariff structure reflects the true cost of delivering electricity&mdash;from generation to distribution&mdash;while promoting responsible energy usage. This shift impacts more than 23.6 million domestic electricity users in Peninsular Malaysia.</p>
<p>Rather than relying on traditional tiered or block-based pricing, the new structure breaks down your bill into five main components:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Energy Charge:</strong> Cost of generating electricity.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA):</strong> Adjusted monthly based on global fuel prices and foreign exchange fluctuations.</li>
<li><strong>Capacity Charge:</strong> Costs related to standby power generation.</li>
<li><strong>Network Charge:</strong> Infrastructure, transmission, and distribution costs.</li>
<li><strong>Retail Charge:</strong> Administrative cost of RM10/month (waived for usage below 600kWh).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tariff Categories Simplified</strong></p>
<p>Previously, users were classified by customer activity type (commercial, industrial, etc.). Now, the categories are streamlined based on connection voltage level:</p>
<ul>
<li>Domestic (households)</li>
<li>Non-Domestic:</li>
<ul>
<li>Low Voltage</li>
<li>Medium Voltage</li>
<li>High Voltage</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>This simplification is intended to improve user understanding of tariffs and ensure consistency in pricing.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Time of Use (ToU): Now Open to Households</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>A major highlight of this restructuring is the introduction of the Time of Use (ToU) pricing scheme to domestic users for the first time. Previously limited to commercial and industrial sectors, ToU now allows households and small businesses with Smart Meters to enjoy dynamic pricing based on when they consume electricity.</p>
<p><strong>ToU Time Bands:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Weekdays (Monday&ndash;Friday):</strong></li>
<ul>
<li><strong>Peak Hours: </strong>2:00 PM &ndash; 10:00 PM</li>
<li><strong>Off-Peak Hours: </strong>10:00 PM &ndash; 2:00 PM (next day)</li>
</ul>
<li><strong>Weekends (Saturday &amp; Sunday):</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>Off-Peak All Day</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><strong>ToU Rates:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Usage &le; 1,500 kWh/month:</strong></li>
<ul>
<li><strong>Peak: </strong>28.52 sen/kWh</li>
<li><strong>Off-peak: </strong>24.43 sen/kWh</li>
</ul>
<li><strong>Usage &gt; 1,500 kWh/month:</strong></li>
<ul>
<li><strong>Peak: </strong>38.52 sen/kWh</li>
<li><strong>Off-peak: </strong>34.43 sen/kWh</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Compared to the standard flat rates (27.03 sen/kWh and 37.03 sen/kWh respectively), ToU off-peak usage offers savings of 2.6 sen/kWh.</p>

<p>The ToU scheme is optional and available only to users with:</p>
<ul>
<li>A Smart Meter</li>
<li>A Current Transformer (CT) Meter, or</li>
<li>A Remote Meter Reading (RMR) Meter</li>
</ul>
<p>To apply, visit your nearest Kedai Tenaga or check your eligibility via the myTNB app. The switch is not automatic and must be requested manually.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Understanding the New Bill Layout</strong></p>
<p>Your monthly electricity bill will now be more detailed and transparent, showing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Energy charge per kWh</li>
<li>Monthly AFA adjustment (rebate or surcharge)</li>
<li>Capacity and network charges</li>
<li>RM10 retail charge (waived under 600kWh)</li>
<li>Incentives for efficient energy use</li>
<li>Any applicable taxes and government rebates</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, a household using 800kWh/month would pay an estimated average of 44.5 sen/kWh under the new structure, excluding taxes and AFA&mdash;a marginal improvement from the old tiered system.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tools and Strategies for Cost Savings</strong></p>
<p>TNB is also launching an updated bill calculator (available from 23 June 2025) to help users estimate their bills under the new rates. In the meantime, here are some tips:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shift high-energy activities like laundry, water heating, and EV charging to off-peak hours</li>
<li>Monitor usage via the myTNB app</li>
<li>Keep monthly usage below 600kWh to waive the RM10 charge</li>
<li>Consider investing in a solar PV system for long-term cost reduction</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rebates and Protection for Vulnerable Groups</strong></p>
<p>To ensure inclusivity, rebates and discounts remain in place for targeted communities:</p>
<ul>
<li>RM40/month rebate for hardcore poor (under e-Kasih)</li>
<li>10% discount for:</li>
<ul>
<li>Places of worship</li>
<li>Registered welfare organisations (e.g. orphanages, homes for the elderly or disabled)</li>
<li>Government or partially government-funded institutions</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><strong>So, Will Your Electricity Bill Rise or Fall?</strong></p>
<p>According to TNB, most households&mdash;particularly those consuming 900kWh/month or less&mdash;are not expected to see significant increases. In fact, many could benefit from small reductions. However, the final cost may vary based on the AFA adjustment, which is tied to global fuel market trends.</p>
<p>Ultimately, this new tariff structure aims to empower consumers to take control of their electricity use. With greater clarity, flexibility, and tools like ToU pricing and smart metering, Malaysians are better positioned to manage their bills and support national energy efficiency goals.</p>

Malaysia’s Electricity Tariff Restructuring 2025: What You Need To Know

<p>Apple is facing a proposed class action lawsuit in the United States after a woman claimed she lost US$80,000 (~RM340,000) through a cryptocurrency scam app downloaded directly from the official Apple App Store.</p>
<p>The lawsuit was filed in California by Danyell Shin, who alleges that the app in question&mdash;Swiftcrypt&mdash;was part of a sophisticated fraud scheme commonly referred to as "pig butchering". The method involves gradually gaining a victim&rsquo;s trust before coaxing them into investing larger sums of money. Once enough funds are deposited, the perpetrators vanish&mdash;locking users out of their accounts and disappearing with the cash.</p>
<p><strong>The Swiftcrypt Scam: Trust Betrayed</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8345d3639b4aec5d8866154452c2bcf5c7358407b2fc7b23e36a41ceaaa6a454" /></strong></p>
<p>Shin reportedly discovered Swiftcrypt in late 2023 or early 2024 through an online investment group. Convinced of its legitimacy&mdash;partly due to its availability on Apple&rsquo;s App Store&mdash;she downloaded the app and began investing, believing she was seeing returns. After following instructions provided within the app, she made successive deposits totalling $80,000. Then, suddenly, her access was revoked and the funds were gone.</p>
<p>In her lawsuit, Shin claims she reasonably relied on Apple&rsquo;s widely publicised assurances that all App Store apps undergo rigorous security screening. By hosting Swiftcrypt, she argues, Apple misled users into believing the app was trustworthy and safe to use.</p>
<p><strong>Apple&rsquo;s &lsquo;Walled Garden&rsquo; Under Scrutiny</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/eb474ae66c57d2e6677a9126d8c7f16e579048cb2d1be48bf6711329c6bbfddc" /></strong></p>
<p>For years, Apple has defended its exclusive App Store ecosystem as a secure and carefully curated platform. From the late Steve Jobs to current executives like Craig Federighi, the tech giant has consistently portrayed the App Store as a bulwark against cybercriminals. Apple often highlights its app review process and routinely markets the App Store as &ldquo;safe&rdquo; and &ldquo;trusted.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Shin&rsquo;s lawsuit challenges those claims. It accuses Apple of misrepresentation and failing in its duty to protect users by allowing a scam app to slip through its vetting process. It also points to the company&rsquo;s monopoly over app distribution on iOS devices as a contributing factor in fostering false confidence among consumers.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Apple has structured its ecosystem so that customers rely on Apple for the perceived safety and reliability of the App Store,&rdquo; the lawsuit argues.</p>
<p><strong>Legal Claims and Broader Implications</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/53f54c80ef9f82e11c3207583554d343e13fbad6dbb2a53873e709dc589e8e86" /></strong></p>
<p>The legal action seeks damages for violations of California&rsquo;s consumer protection and competition laws. It also alleges that Shin &ldquo;overpaid&rdquo; for her iPhone, under the premise that part of the phone&rsquo;s value lies in its supposedly secure App Store.</p>
<p>Beyond individual compensation, the suit calls for corrective advertising to clarify the real security limitations of Apple&rsquo;s platform.</p>
<p>The case has yet to be certified as a class action, which would require the court to determine if there are enough similarly affected individuals to proceed collectively. So far, no other victims from Shin&rsquo;s investment group have publicly joined the case.</p>
<p><strong>A Pattern of Legal Firestorms</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3040a6e38954e82fd1f55bc3cdd5b4cd22a18eadf7b25a6f33eb9397b1ce4fa7" /></strong></p>
<p>This isn&rsquo;t the first time Apple&rsquo;s App Store practices have faced legal challenges. Most notably, the Epic Games v Apple case accused the company of anti-competitive behaviour by mandating the use of its own in-app purchase system, from which Apple takes a 30% commission. Apple largely emerged unscathed from that lawsuit, but it sparked widespread debate about digital marketplaces and monopolistic control.</p>
<p>In the UK, Apple is also facing a separate &pound;1.5 billion (approximately US$2 billion) anti-trust class action trial over similar allegations relating to its App Store policies.</p>
<p><strong>Victim Blaming or Corporate Responsibility?</strong></p>
<p>Some commentators have suggested that Shin shares some responsibility for her losses, noting that Swiftcrypt lacked substantial online presence or regulatory credentials. Critics argue that a basic search might have raised red flags&mdash;highlighting the barebones website and absence of legitimate reviews. Others point to the broader difficulty consumers face in distinguishing genuine apps from scams, especially within a platform marketed as safe by design.</p>
<p>Even so, many agree that the issue highlights the growing sophistication of fraud and the limits of current app review systems&mdash;even those managed by tech titans like Apple.</p>
<p><strong>Apple Yet to Respond</strong></p>
<p>As of now, Apple has not issued any formal response to the lawsuit. The Swiftcrypt app has since been removed from the App Store, and its official website has been taken down. There is no indication whether the company will attempt to settle or fight the lawsuit in court.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the case underscores growing global scrutiny of major tech companies and the platforms they control. With third-party app stores now emerging in the EU under new regulations such as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple&rsquo;s future grip on app distribution may weaken&mdash;but with it, possibly the consistency of app safety as well.</p>

Apple Sued Over Crypto Scam: Woman Loses $80,000 After Downloading Fraudulent App From App Store

<p>A Malaysian company has come under intense public scrutiny after a team-building ice bath challenge left one of its female employees collapsed and unable to stand unaided. What began as a corporate wellness activity quickly turned into a viral controversy&mdash;raising questions about safety protocols, employer responsibility, and the rise of extreme self-improvement culture in the workplace.</p>
<p><strong>From Motivation to Medical Emergency</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/37f623645efafc6a70c81dbd3d462c6368d0cd8d2736922d53af4bc3483b80ab" /></strong></p>
<p>In a video that has since made rounds on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, a young woman is seen participating in a team-building challenge where employees were required to remain submerged in an ice bath for a full 10 minutes. As the footage progresses, it&rsquo;s evident she is in growing physical distress&mdash;her lips turn purple, her face pales, and her body begins to tremble violently.</p>
<p>Despite her deteriorating condition, she pushes through while chanting motivational affirmations like:</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;I must be myself. I need to break through. I&rsquo;m not afraid of pain or hardship. I&rsquo;m not afraid to cross this road.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1846072592625046&amp;width=500&amp;show_text=true&amp;height=697&amp;appId" width="500" height="697" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></em></p>
<p>Moments after the challenge ends, the woman appears disoriented and unable to stand. Her colleagues rush in, lifting her out of the ice-filled tub and attempting to massage her legs, which are visibly reddened from the prolonged cold exposure. She can be seen slipping into a limp state, sparking real concerns about her physical wellbeing.</p>
<p><strong>Company&rsquo;s Defence: &ldquo;We&rsquo;re Not a Cult&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>The video sparked immediate online outrage, with many questioning the ethics and legality of such an exercise being carried out in a workplace setting. Critics described the act as dangerous, unnecessary, and even exploitative, with some likening it to cult-like conditioning rather than professional development.</p>

</p>
<p>In response, the company&rsquo;s founder took to Facebook with a strongly-worded post defending the ice bath challenge and dismissing the criticism. She claimed that the event had been conducted under professional medical supervision and insisted that employees were not coerced.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Why do we get criticised? Is it because we&rsquo;re merely a small and medium enterprise (SME)? We&rsquo;re not a cult. We&rsquo;re just a group of women working hard for our dreams,&rdquo;</em> she wrote.</p>
<p>The founder added that the challenge was inspired by similar routines performed by celebrities and influencers, including athletes and politicians, and that it was meant to build resilience, mental strength, and team spirit.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;You can laugh at us and criticise all you want, but we will keep working hard for our dreams.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p><strong>The Ice Bath Trend: More Than Just a Fad</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/459625245446569657581d1aeb6a1932f79e2ee5b5c9ba37de6cf09055787efb" /></strong></p>
<p>The ice bath trend has surged in popularity over the last decade, bolstered initially by the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014&mdash;a viral campaign aimed at raising awareness and funds for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Since then, ice-related stunts have evolved into more extreme forms, particularly in the health and wellness space.</p>
<p>One of the most influential proponents is Dutch endurance athlete Wim Hof, famously known as <em>&ldquo;The Iceman.&rdquo;</em> Hof&rsquo;s breathing and cold therapy techniques claim to offer a range of benefits including improved immunity, reduced stress, enhanced circulation, and mental clarity.</p>
<p>Athletes use ice baths to aid muscle recovery, and social media has only amplified the visibility of the practice. Malaysian politician Khairy Jamaluddin has shared his own experience with cold exposure therapy. In the US, even former President Donald Trump has been photographed engaging in ice bath routines.</p>
<p>But what works for professional athletes or public figures under expert supervision may not be suitable for the average employee&mdash;especially in corporate settings where implied pressure and hierarchy can complicate consent.</p>
<p><strong>Health Risks: What the Experts Say</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/36e740e09719142fcb4f50932d180e086cbf80cabec0b04a942fe486b9a94741" /></strong></p>
<p>Medical professionals have repeatedly warned about the dangers of prolonged cold water immersion, particularly for individuals with no prior exposure or training.</p>
<p>Cold exposure for more than a few minutes can trigger hypothermia, fainting, or even cardiac arrest, depending on the individual&rsquo;s health, body composition, and the water temperature. Experts recommend limiting exposure to 3&ndash;5 minutes for beginners, with gradual adaptation and close monitoring by healthcare professionals.</p>
<p>The video raised concerns not just about the duration but also about whether informed consent was given, if participants were properly briefed, and if adequate emergency measures were in place.</p>
<p><strong>Netizens React: Divided Opinions and Heated Debate</strong></p>
<p>The online reaction has been mixed. While many condemned the company for prioritising spectacle over safety, others voiced support for the founder&rsquo;s defence of mental toughness. Others questioned whether employees could truly opt out of such challenges without fear of judgement or retaliation, especially in closely-knit or high-pressure work environments.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments. Do note that some comments may not be 100% accurate due to translation:</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/cfe0223b685dbda36cec7c8b80a7586bf877da6f8b8afe2e2d8bd546ab7b9987" /></p>
<p><strong>Corporate Wellness or Cult Mentality?</strong></p>
<p>Team-building activities are typically designed to foster camaraderie, improve communication, and offer a break from routine. But when the line between motivation and manipulation becomes blurred, the risks&mdash;not just physical but psychological&mdash;can outweigh the intended benefits.</p>
<p>Experts say that corporate wellness should focus on inclusivity, emotional safety, and individual boundaries, rather than pushing employees to breaking point under the guise of empowerment.</p>
<p>While some employees may thrive on high-stakes challenges, for others, it may lead to trauma, burnout, or deteriorated trust in leadership.</p>
<p><strong>Lessons Learned: Where Do We Draw the Line?</strong></p>
<p>This controversy serves as a cautionary tale for Malaysian companies&mdash;and corporates around the world&mdash;about the need for careful planning, clear safety measures, and informed consent when introducing wellness or team-building programmes.</p>
<p>HR professionals and company leaders <strong>must ask themselves:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Is the activity evidence-based and safe?</li>
<li>Is it inclusive and accessible to all employees?</li>
<li>Have medical professionals been properly involved?</li>
<li>Is participation genuinely voluntary?</li>
</ul>
<p>Without these safeguards, the pursuit of resilience and team spirit can result in very real harm&mdash;and potentially legal consequences.</p>
<p><strong>The Aftermath</strong></p>
<p>As of now, the company involved has not issued an apology or confirmed whether any internal review or changes to its wellness programmes are being considered. The female employee who collapsed has not spoken publicly, and her medical condition remains unclear.</p>
<p>The conversation around corporate wellness, employee rights, and viral trends continues online&mdash;reflecting a growing public awareness that while ambition and innovation are welcome in the workplace, employee safety must always come first.</p>

Masterclass Or Misstep? Malaysian SME Slammed After Ice Bath Team-Building Ends In Collapse

<p>In a harrowing case that has sent shockwaves across Malaysia, a former <em>MasterChef Malaysia</em> finalist and her ex-husband have each been sentenced to 34 years in prison for the torture and murder of their 28-year-old Indonesian domestic helper. The case, heard at the Kota Kinabalu High Court, exposed disturbing details of prolonged abuse suffered by the victim, whose death came amid the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p><strong>Victim Abused in Silence</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/3f31cf9970a7079d26072ba558dff17b6853a36b29c20a054cbad048f4f15992" /></strong></p>
<p>The court found that Etiqah Siti Noorashikeen Mohd Sulong, 37, and her former spouse, Mohammad Ambree Yunos, 44, were jointly responsible for the death of Nur Afiyah Daeng Damin. The crime took place over several days between 8 and 11 December 2021 at their shared residence in Amber Tower, Lido Avenue Condominium, located in Penampang, Sabah.</p>
<p>The prosecution revealed that Nur Afiyah, who had migrated from Indonesia to work as a maid, was subjected to persistent mistreatment and inhumane working conditions. She was not only deprived of wages and basic rights, but also physically tortured over an extended period. Photos and videos presented in court&mdash;recovered from the couple&rsquo;s own mobile phones&mdash;graphically captured the abuse she endured in the days leading up to her death.</p>
<p><strong>Brutality Captured on Camera</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/1bbebfcc1e19e7e0d6a9c2cb8ae7a54ca36309eed41dad0f2d1278eb086088d0" /></p>
<p>According to Deputy Public Prosecutor Dacia Jane Romanus, the abuse was systematic and deliberate. &ldquo;This was not a killing born out of rage or a single moment of violence,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;It was prolonged, premeditated torture, with no regard for the victim&rsquo;s humanity.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The videos and images showed visible signs of physical injury, with the court hearing that the couple had even documented the abuse themselves, seemingly without remorse. The disturbing nature of the footage strengthened the prosecution&rsquo;s argument that the pair had every intention of inflicting harm and had acted with a shared purpose.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This was a young woman who left her home to earn a living honestly in the midst of a global pandemic,&rdquo; Dacia told the court. &ldquo;She died not in an accident, not in an act of sudden violence, but as a result of sustained, systematic cruelty at the hands of those who were supposed to protect and shelter her.&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>Court Delivers Verdict and Sentencing</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/62338b84cb95fbcacdaf61013f99d5c70b34ee9c5858cb20e4105167e2ec178a" /></strong></p>
<p>Presiding over the trial, High Court Judge Datuk Dr Lim Hock Leng ruled that the evidence proved beyond reasonable doubt that both Etiqah and Ambree acted with <em>common intention</em> to murder Nur Afiyah. Their failure to provide medical care, food, and fair treatment, paired with overwhelming evidence of injury and abuse, led to their conviction.</p>
<p>The two were charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34, which pertains to murder committed by more than one person. This section allows for the death penalty, or imprisonment for not less than 30 years and up to 40 years, as well as not fewer than 12 strokes of the cane for those not sentenced to death.</p>
<p>While the Attorney-General&rsquo;s Chambers initially pushed for the mandatory death sentence, Judge Lim instead imposed 34 years of imprisonment for both individuals, citing the severity of the crime and the strength of the evidence. Ambree was also ordered to receive 12 strokes of the rotan, while Etiqah was exempted from caning due to her gender, in line with Section 289 of the Criminal Procedure Code.</p>
<p>Both convicts, who had previously been out on bail, were ordered to begin serving their sentences immediately from the date of conviction.</p>
<p><strong>Defence Fails to Raise Doubt</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img src="https://r2.myc.my/a945c0ac924bed3d43fb0204cfc0e75249bba387f387408552ceb9452d1373d1" /><br />Etiqah Siti Noorashikeen Mohd Sulang with lawyer Rakhbir Singh at the Court of Appeal in Kota Kinabalu, three years ago. </em></p>
<p>In his judgement, Judge Lim noted that the defence had failed to raise any reasonable doubt in the face of overwhelming forensic and photographic evidence. The nature, location, and duration of the victim&rsquo;s injuries were consistent with repeated and intentional infliction of harm, and not an accident or isolated incident.</p>
<p>The court also noted the emotional and psychological torment suffered by the victim, who had been isolated from any form of external support or protection. The judge highlighted how this case reflects not just individual criminality, but also broader systemic vulnerabilities faced by domestic workers&mdash;particularly foreign nationals&mdash;living in private homes in Malaysia.</p>
<p><strong>Prosecution: &ldquo;A Case That Shook the Nation&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/369ba04fa7610d270b306b518eb5d8ea9badaa54457bac23792959f8af3e19f6" /></strong></p>
<p>Calling the crime one of the most distressing cases of recent years, DPP Dacia Jane Romanus urged the court to consider the broader impact on society. &ldquo;The brutality of this case has not only appalled Sabah, but the entire country. It speaks to a failure in how we treat those who come into our homes to serve and support us.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She added that Nur Afiyah was not only denied wages and freedom of movement but was also robbed of dignity and life. &ldquo;She was never allowed to return home. Her body did, but her hopes, her sacrifices, were extinguished behind closed doors,&rdquo; she said.</p>
<p><strong>Public Backlash and Broader Concerns</strong></p>
<p>The case has reignited public outrage over the treatment of domestic workers in Malaysia, particularly those from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia. NGOs and human rights groups have long campaigned for better safeguards and routine checks, as many workers operate without contracts, proper wages, or protection from abuse.</p>
<p>The fact that Etiqah had once gained public recognition as a finalist in <em>MasterChef Malaysia</em> 2012 made the case all the more shocking, with many questioning how someone in the public eye could inflict such cruelty behind closed doors.</p>
<p><strong>Justice Served&mdash;But Questions Remain</strong></p>
<p>With the sentence now handed down, many hope the conviction marks a turning point in how the legal system handles cases of domestic worker abuse. However, activists caution that without consistent enforcement and policy reforms, many other cases may remain hidden.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the victim's family in Indonesia is left grappling with a painful loss. No amount of sentencing, they say, can replace the daughter who left to provide for her family and returned in a coffin.</p>
<p>This case stands as a chilling reminder: justice, when delayed or denied, often comes too late for the vulnerable. For Nur Afiyah, the courtroom brought justice after death. For others still living under oppression, it may be the only hope.</p>

MasterChef Malaysia Finalist And Ex-Husband Jailed 34 Years For Maid's Murder

<p>Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has once again escaped conviction in one of his many legal battles, after the High Court granted him a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) over RM27 million allegedly misappropriated from SRC International. However, the 70-year-old remains behind bars, serving a six-year sentence for a separate SRC-related conviction involving RM42 million.</p>
<p><strong>SRC International: The RM27 Million DNAA Explained</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnajibrazak%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02TiwoRcLMXtckDyrxkJkEpe5Ew9JEmp3sbjNWUzdvx6BnB5bZtxnEdrQanRbX9pbFl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="624" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>On 20 June 2025, High Court Judge K Muniandy delivered the long-awaited decision on Najib's final SRC-related criminal case, which had stalled since charges were first brought in February 2019. The former premier had been accused of receiving RM27 million in illegal proceeds through his AmPrivate Banking accounts on 8 July 2014.</p>
<p>The judge ruled in favour of a DNAA, agreeing with the defence that it would be unjust for Najib to continue facing charges indefinitely without trial. Noting the prosecution&rsquo;s repeated delays and inability to proceed&mdash;despite six years having passed&mdash;Justice Muniandy said there was no sign the case could move forward within a reasonable time frame.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The prolonged wait has become a long haul for the accused, denying him timely resolution,&rdquo; the judge said. He emphasised that criminal charges should not hang over an accused like &ldquo;the sword of Damocles.&rdquo;</p>
<p>A DNAA means Najib is released from the charges, but not acquitted&mdash;should fresh evidence emerge, the prosecution may reopen the case.</p>
<p><strong>Prosecution&rsquo;s Delays and Missing Documents</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7ab937d699a838aeb527ed37289ca16e8dde99b05c558748df9bbacbb8648a4e" /></strong></p>
<p>Najib&rsquo;s lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, revealed the prosecution had failed to compile over 500 essential documents needed to move forward with trial. When queried by the court in May, the deputy public prosecutor admitted they could not commit to a timeline, leading to further uncertainty.</p>
<p>The judge also noted that no witnesses had been called in the six years since the case was filed, with only repeated postponements. Even the prosecution conceded it would not be prejudiced by a DNAA, highlighting the case&rsquo;s deadlocked state.</p>
<p>Shafee later told reporters that Najib was &ldquo;very happy&rdquo; with the outcome, adding that the number of cases hanging over his client was now diminishing, allowing the former premier to focus solely on the high-profile 1MDB trial.</p>
<p><strong>Najib&rsquo;s Ongoing Legal Woes</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5379d4145a2d71b8d6443e17be09a74b78ccb33b3adf88755fcad48df6780080" /></strong></p>
<p>While the RM27 million SRC case is now on pause, Najib is far from a free man.</p>
<p>He remains imprisoned in Kajang Prison after being convicted in 2020 for seven charges involving RM42 million from SRC International, including criminal breach of trust, abuse of power, and money laundering. The conviction was upheld by the Court of Appeal in 2021 and the Federal Court in 2022. Initially sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined RM210 million, Najib&rsquo;s sentence was halved in 2024 following a partial royal pardon.</p>
<p>The 1MDB-linked case that landed him in prison was the first to result in an actual conviction&mdash;but it is far from his only legal entanglement.</p>
<p><strong>The Larger 1MDB Scandal and Other DNAA Cases</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aa4c0c5afbd5c019f4dff8129179d387be9f2f3cda1e4a3522dec3a63c218fd7" /></strong></p>
<p>Najib is currently fighting a separate, more complex case: the 1MDB-Tanore trial. He faces four charges of abuse of power and 21 charges of money laundering involving RM2.27 billion in 1MDB funds. That trial, which began more than seven years ago, is finally nearing its end. Written submissions are due by 30 September 2025, with oral arguments scheduled for October.</p>
<p>He has previously been granted DNAA status in other high-profile cases:</p>
<ul>
<li>RM6.6 Billion IPIC Case: In 2018, Najib and former Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Irwan Serigar were charged with criminal breach of trust over RM6.6 billion related to a settlement between 1MDB and Abu Dhabi&rsquo;s International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC). The case stalled due to missing documents and was DNAA&rsquo;d in 2023.</li>
<li>1MDB Audit Report Tampering: Najib and former 1MDB CEO Arul Kanda were acquitted in 2023 of tampering with the 1MDB final audit report after the court found insufficient evidence.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>House Arrest Bid and Ongoing Controversies</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/99644eb54db6f13278d94eb00d0a370e80ca96ab018fac57d884460d06c75c0a" /></strong></p>
<p>Najib is also pursuing a civil application seeking to serve the remainder of his prison term under house arrest, based on an alleged &ldquo;royal addendum&rdquo; issued in January 2024 by former King Al-Sultan Abdullah. His legal team claims this royal order was overlooked by authorities.</p>
<p>His lawyer Shafee recently lodged a police report against former Attorney General Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh, accusing him of misleading the courts by claiming that the addendum did not exist. Shafee maintains that the former AG had full knowledge of the document, which allegedly permits Najib to complete his sentence under house arrest.</p>
<p>However, access to confirm the existence of the royal decree has reportedly been stalled by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Shafee said the Prisons Department had no objection to Najib lodging a police report himself, but Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail had not granted permission despite multiple written requests.</p>
<p><strong>What Happens Next?</strong></p>
<p>For now, Najib&rsquo;s legal focus shifts solely to the 1MDB-Tanore case. If he is found guilty, it could add more jail time on top of his current sentence&mdash;even with the reduced term from the royal pardon.</p>
<p>The DNAA granted in the RM27 million SRC case spares Najib from immediate further prosecution, but it remains a temporary reprieve. The prosecution is free to reinstate the charges when ready, and the shadow of his extensive legal history still looms large over the former prime minister.</p>
<p>With mounting controversies and his legacy deeply entwined with one of the world's most infamous financial scandals, Najib Razak&rsquo;s courtroom saga is far from over.</p>

Najib Razak Walks Free From RM27 Million SRC Charges – But Remains A Jailed Man

<p>Penang&rsquo;s long-anticipated Light Rail Transit (LRT) project is finally set to break ground, with physical construction works expected to begin as early as August 2025. Transport Minister Anthony Loke recently confirmed the update, noting that preparatory works, including piling, will commence within the next month or two.</p>
<p><strong>Malaysia&rsquo;s First LRT Outside Klang Valley</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f4ac82b11784c1f6a1ad20b3a5cb4aef54b651ba87f886d088a4286722085e5d" /></strong></p>
<p>The Mutiara Line marks a significant milestone for Penang and for Malaysia&rsquo;s public transport development. It will be the country&rsquo;s first LRT system located outside the Klang Valley and aims to transform mobility across the northern state. The project was originally proposed in 2015 under the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP), with the goal of easing traffic congestion and offering a more efficient alternative to road travel.</p>
<p>Initially led by the state government, the project was taken over by the federal government in early 2024. MRT Corporation has since been appointed as the official developer and asset owner, bringing with it the experience and infrastructure expertise from the Klang Valley MRT lines.</p>
<p><strong>A 29.5km Line Connecting Key Districts</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fa35de7e4e5e3b23856ca239ec976043d0f81350ee9b7e57b53ddb05b91f2194" /></strong></p>
<p>The Mutiara Line will span 29.5km and include 21 stations. It will link George Town&rsquo;s city centre with Jelutong, Gelugor, and Bayan Lepas on Penang Island, before extending across the channel to Seberang Perai on the mainland. A full end-to-end trip is expected to take approximately 49 minutes.</p>
<p>Transport authorities estimate that the line will serve around 45,600 passengers per day during its first year of operation. It is also expected to play a key role in reducing the state&rsquo;s vehicle dependency, especially among daily commuters.</p>
<p><strong>All Approvals Settled, Work Packages Awarded</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0bafa55ac7772a9e1bdd2c147248b0cddc54331fc01cbfea998a6c6a4ed3190b" /></strong></p>
<p>Transport Minister Loke confirmed that all administrative issues between the federal and state governments have now been resolved. &ldquo;Penang doesn&rsquo;t need to wait anymore. Everything is done,&rdquo; he said, adding that the Notice to Proceed has been issued and all relevant documents, including letters of release, are in place.</p>
<p>He also mentioned that major work packages have already been awarded to subcontractors by the main contractor. Among them is Econpile (M) Sdn Bhd, which recently secured a RM42.82 million contract for bored piling and related groundwork from Irama Duta Sdn Bhd.</p>
<p>Acknowledging Penang&rsquo;s existing traffic challenges, Loke assured that proper traffic management plans will be implemented to minimise disruptions during construction. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve requested that, once piling and construction begin, there must be a proper traffic diversion plan in place,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;As with any construction project, there will be some impact, but our aim is to keep it manageable.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Residents can expect regular updates and engagement efforts from local authorities and MRT Corp as works progress, especially in high-traffic areas near George Town and Bayan Lepas.</p>
<p><strong>Target Completion by 2030</strong></p>
<p>The full completion of the Mutiara Line is slated for 2030. While this may seem a long wait, transport experts note that the complexity of urban rail infrastructure &mdash; particularly in heritage-rich and densely built-up areas like George Town &mdash; requires careful planning and phased execution.</p>
<p>The government has not ruled out the possibility of certain segments becoming operational ahead of full completion if conditions allow.</p>
<p><strong>A New Era for Penang&rsquo;s Urban Mobility</strong></p>
<p>Once operational, the LRT will not only ease traffic congestion but also offer a more sustainable, reliable alternative to private vehicle usage. It is expected to spur economic activity along the corridor, increase property values near stations, and create job opportunities throughout its construction and operation phases.</p>
<p>For Penang, the Mutiara Line represents more than just a transport upgrade &mdash; it&rsquo;s a vision for a more connected, accessible, and modern future.</p>

Here’s hoping Penang’s new train system will finally ease traffic congestion across the island.

Penang’s First-Ever LRT: Mutiara Line Construction To Begin By August 2025

<p>Gamers in Malaysia have reason to celebrate &ndash; the Nintendo Switch 2 is officially launching on 3 July 2025, with pre-orders already open through major retailers. This comes just days after Nintendo Southeast Asia made the announcement via its official Facebook page and updated the Malaysian website with full product listings.</p>
<p>As excitement builds, early adopters may want to act quickly &ndash; especially with stocks for certain models already dwindling. But while the upgraded hybrid console brings new features and highly anticipated titles, its premium pricing is already raising eyebrows &ndash; especially when compared to rivals like the PlayStation 5.</p>
<p><strong>Launch Date, Models &amp; Availability</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c31b0847161eb6ff37d189f4dd2cb976a6066703c415339a82844965c79eaf71" /></strong></p>
<p>Nintendo has confirmed two models for the Malaysian market:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nintendo Switch 2 Standalone Set &ndash; RM2,488</li>
<li>Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle &ndash; RM2,688</li>
</ul>
<p>Both options come with a one-year official Malaysian warranty, managed by Convergent Distribution, Nintendo&rsquo;s official distributor in Malaysia. The Mario Kart World bundle includes the full game in physical card format, not a download code.</p>
<p>Launch units will be available in stores nationwide starting 3 July, with pre-orders currently live on platforms like Shopee and Lazada via the Nintendo Official Store Malaysia.</p>
<p><strong>Shipping &amp; Pre-Order Demand</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/81ae45aa537c161a877d90d06be3114fa1287796f415fa1ca79ffc187b8a3760" /></strong></p>
<p>Despite the 3 July launch date, shipping timelines on e-commerce platforms indicate that delivery may occur later than expected. Shopee estimates delivery between 20 July to 7 August, while Lazada lists guaranteed arrival between 23 to 25 July.</p>
<p>Demand has already skewed heavily toward the Mario Kart World bundle, with stock levels for the standalone version running low, according to a quick check of Shopee listings.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Where to Buy</strong></p>
<p>Nintendo&rsquo;s official distributor has released a comprehensive list of authorised retailers. Some of the most popular outlets include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Asashi Technology (Wangsa Walk, Melawati Mall)</li>
<li>Best Denki (1 Utama, KLCC, MyTown, IOI City Mall)</li>
<li>Thunder Match (TMT) (Mid Valley, Pavilion Bukit Jalil, Sunway Pyramid)</li>
<li>Harvey Norman, Fotocharlie, Popular Bookstore, ToyPanic, [i] Store, and many more across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.</li>
</ul>
<p>Many of these stores have started taking pre-orders both in-person and online.</p>
<p><strong>Confirmed Launch Titles &amp; Pricing</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2d7dafaa2e34c872d70b457532104c2ae38790bc600adcae823ae9b8028c846a" /></strong></p>
<p>Gamers can look forward to a robust launch lineup, with several exclusive and reworked titles available from day one:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mario Kart World &ndash; <strong>RM398</strong></li>
<li>Tamagotchi Plaza (Switch 2 Edition) &ndash; <strong>RM230</strong></li>
<li>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch 2 Edition) &ndash; <strong>RM298</strong></li>
<li>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch 2 Edition) &ndash; <strong>RM265</strong></li>
<li>Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster &ndash; <strong>RM165</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>These games are being offered in physical form with Malaysian-certified cartridges, eliminating the need for lengthy downloads.</p>
<p><strong>Accessories and Add-ons</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a5d0df9150e2b1c59017238a29bd706cbaf04c28463e75e8b7f2cbd445115afb" /></strong></p>
<p>A wide range of first-party accessories will also be available for purchase on launch day. Prices are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller &ndash; <strong>RM388</strong></li>
<li>Joy-Con 2 (Left &amp; Right) &ndash; <strong>RM498</strong></li>
<li>Single Joy-Con 2 (Left or Right) &ndash; <strong>RM258</strong></li>
<li>Joy-Con Charging Grip &ndash; <strong>RM183</strong></li>
<li>Joy-Con Wheel (Set of 2) &ndash; <strong>RM108</strong></li>
<li>AC Adapter &ndash; <strong>RM168</strong></li>
<li>Carrying Case + Screen Protector &ndash; <strong>RM128</strong></li>
<li>Nintendo Switch Camera &ndash; <strong>RM258</strong></li>
<li>SanDisk microSD Express 256GB &ndash; <strong>RM298</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Only the Pro Controller, Joy-Con 2, and Switch Camera are confirmed to carry a one-year official warranty. The status of warranty coverage for other accessories remains unclear.</p>
<p><strong>Why It&rsquo;s More Expensive Than You Think</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d951fa1f7b8bd79ab61f11c9f684e0e64a418c079617020c63724ea48abb3446" /></strong></p>
<p>While the excitement surrounding the Switch 2 is understandable, some gamers may hesitate when comparing its pricing to other consoles in the market.</p>
<p>At RM2,488, the base Switch 2 costs more than the PS5 Slim Digital Edition, currently priced at RM2,069. Even the PS5 Slim Disc Edition, with enhanced graphics and a Blu-ray drive, is just RM2,499 &ndash; a mere RM11 more than Nintendo&rsquo;s new console.</p>
<p>In essence, for roughly the same price (or even less), consumers can opt for a PlayStation 5, a more powerful console in terms of hardware performance, with a larger third-party game library, native 4K gaming support, and access to high-end exclusives like <em>Spider-Man 2</em>, <em>Final Fantasy XVI</em>, and <em>God of War: Ragnar&ouml;k</em>.</p>
<p>While the Nintendo Switch 2 offers unique portability and family-friendly titles, its premium price and mid-range specs might give serious gamers pause &mdash; especially those seeking maximum performance per ringgit.</p>
<p><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p>
<p>The Nintendo Switch 2 marks an exciting chapter for Nintendo fans in Malaysia, offering a long-overdue upgrade and strong launch support. Its hybrid nature, exclusive titles, and family-friendly experience continue to set it apart in a competitive gaming landscape.</p>
<p>However, prospective buyers will need to weigh the value proposition carefully. With the PS5 available at a lower price, the Switch 2&rsquo;s success may ultimately hinge on Nintendo&rsquo;s unique software ecosystem and the appeal of its innovative gameplay format &mdash; not necessarily its technical prowess.</p>
<p>Whether you&rsquo;re in it for <em>Zelda</em>, <em>Mario Kart</em>, or the portable experience, one thing is certain: gaming in Malaysia just got a lot more interesting &mdash; and expensive.</p>
