When in university, it&rsquo;s pretty common for us to call our lecturers &lsquo;Sir&rsquo; or &lsquo;Miss&rsquo; unless you&rsquo;re close to your lecturer then that&rsquo;s a whole other story. But mainly, we call them that way to show a sign of respect to them.
Sometimes we typically need to submit our work online since everything is now more digitalized than before. It&rsquo;s easier for us to share information across and update work on the go with the help of technology such as Google Docs.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.gifer.com/9eFS.gif" alt="Google GIF - Find on GIFER" />
But despite having modern tech, there comes a time that we still slip up and can&rsquo;t get access to what we need. Unfortunately for this Malaysian student, she had made a hilarious and unfortunate blunder which she had accidentally addressed her lecturer in a profane manner by mistake.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
so today, marks the history of me, a student, accidently called my degree lecturer &ldquo;woi bodo&rdquo;😭😭😭 the text was meant for my assignment partner because i thought it was weird for her to lock our document but then&hellip; rupanya lecturer punya doc.. nasib dr played it cool <a href="https://t.co/D4ZEK0Tzm1">pic.twitter.com/D4ZEK0Tzm1</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Netizen @samsuydin or also known as Yasmin shared how she had attempted to access a document online thinking it was belonging to her friend. As she saw it locked, she had requested access and without any thought had asked her friend in an informal manner for access. I mean, we all tend to do the same with our own friends, I don&rsquo;t blame her.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659668791/unsigned/mpty3jikdtdr4etb6b1u.jpg" />
&nbsp;
In the message it enclosed she had typed &ldquo;wei bodo (stupid)&rdquo; for her to gain access.
Little that she realised that the document had not belonged to her friend but her lecturer!
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/jjHvnU26sHIAAAAC/oups.gif" alt="Oups GIF - Oups - Discover &amp; Share GIFs" />
&nbsp;
Upon receiving the access request, her lecturer had sent her a screenshot on WhatsApp questioning why he was sent such message. That&rsquo;s where Yasmin only realised her mistake and was in pure embarrassment.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659668839/unsigned/pe0z6lmqsgs5ukmsm6cp.png" />
&nbsp;
Realising her mistake, she proceeded to apologise to her lecturer and explain the reason behind her mistake. Plus, she even &lsquo;bribed&rsquo; her lecturer by offering him Almond London cookies! Thankfully, her lecturer was chill about it and did not reprimand her for her mistake and had laughed it off. Her lecturer had even jokingly reply that he won&rsquo;t be taking bribes.
Netizens humoured by her post
Despite Yasmin asking her lecturer to keep it a secret, her tweet had went viral with 5.3K retweets and 16.6K likes online. Netizens were also amused at how well her lecturer responded to the situation even when she attempted to bribe him.
Here&rsquo;s some of the reactions:

During my uni days, I&rsquo;m pretty thankful to have lecturers as chill as this, in fact they are so chill that we can even hang out with them after class or even game with them at night (shoutout to my PR and Broadcasting lecturers🤘🏽).

Oops! Student Accidentally Calls Her Lecturer “Bodo” In An Email (But It's All Good)

Ever came across a real-life Karen? You are lucky if you haven&rsquo;t, but just in case you ever wondered how that would feel like then this diner is for you. Don&rsquo;t worry, the workers here are not actually this rude in real life.
For those who want to purposely experience terrible service and rude staff, feel free to head on down to Karen&rsquo;s Diner, which has been making headlines all over social media for its very unique concept.
Based on the viral online &lsquo;Karen&rsquo; meme, Karen&rsquo;s Diner was launched in Sydney, Australia in 2021 by Viral Venture Global, and it is exactly what you think it might be.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660124052/unsigned/sk6jcgnjd19ajbohaavz.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="348" /><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660124115/unsigned/hxjwo3b0ewhmlokywhcv.webp" alt="" width="623" height="582" />
What is a &lsquo;Karen&rsquo;? Seriously? &nbsp;
In case you have not been on social media for the past few years, the term &lsquo;Karen&rsquo; has officially become a slang word to best describe a typical middle-aged woman who always causes a public scene when she does not get her way.
Curious to know how the 'Karens' are in this diner? Here&rsquo;s a video to help you understand better.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@ivor_xianz/video/7129871352999496987" data-video-id="7129871352999496987">

</blockquote>
Wait, people are actually paying to be roasted at a restaurant ?
Yes. Yes they are.
Aside from the rudeness of the staff, Karens' is an interactive diner with an absurdly fun experience for the tough-hearted ones out there. It comes with a fresh and bubbly interior design with lots of pop of colour, one that would probably take you back in time.&nbsp;
The diner is doing pretty well, with several Australian branches opened in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Gold Coast, Ryde, and Forest Hill. The owners of the franchise have also confirmed plans to expand further across Ireland and England, where there are already two branches in the cities of Manchester and Sheffield.

Classic Diner Food
Karen&rsquo;s Diner does offer a great variety of classic diner menu items such as &lsquo;burgers, wings, fries, and well most things that are cholesterol heavy,&rsquo; and they do also have vegan options as well, as stated on their <a href="https://www.bemorekaren.com/">official website.</a>
Also, good news for all of those who are actually named &lsquo;Karen&rsquo;- you get a free drink on the house!

The overall concept of Karen&rsquo;s Diner is to be intentionally rude to their customers, however strict rules and regulations do exist and are applied at all branches. This includes &lsquo;no racism, no sexism, no homophobic comments, no body image comments, no ableist comments.&rsquo; Customers are also not allowed to make any form of sexual remarks toward the staff members nor physically touch them. &nbsp;
Anyone who breaks these rules will be forced to pay the bill, leave the venue and will be banned from returning to the restaurant in the future.

Great burgers and rude service? A guaranteed once-in-a-lifetime dining experience!

Welcome To Karen’s Diner, The World’s Rudest Restaurant 

Do you want to know the bitter truth? Educations is expensive, especially the higher educations. People need a huge amount of money to be able to further their studies.
Some governments did step in to help the students with their studies. Countries like Germany and Norway are giving minimal to no cost on their higher educations. While countries like America and Malaysia build an organization that can provide loans for their higher education students.
But it is a loan, their financial concern is not permanently solved. They still have to pay it back after graduating, in full.
Therefore, Malaysia has taken the step to provide loan waiver to first class graduates.
<img src="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/imageserver/image/%2Fmethode%2Ftimes%2Fprod%2Fweb%2Fbin%2F9e17a42e-2813-11ea-b78c-de7d985f5cad.jpg?crop=4075%2C2292%2C0%2C212&amp;resize=1200" alt="First-class degrees for all students by 2030 | News | The Times" />
This is definitely not a big news for Malaysians, as it has always been like that before, it&rsquo;s just that since 2019, the loan waiver has only been given to those from B40 (low-income) families.
Thus now, they are bringing it back following the amount of PTPTN fund that has been increased- governments have allocated RM3bil per year for PTPTN loan. Hence, an average of 180,000 new students will have the chance to further their study with this loan.
<img src="https://assets.hmetro.com.my/images/articles/obj16482029_1629262096.jpg" alt="Nama Ismail Sabri jadi bualan netizen" />
Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced during the launch of PTPTN&rsquo;s 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary celebrations:
"I wish to announce that the government will once again be giving the special waiver to any student with a PTPTN loan, and have a first-class honors degree, whereby they are allowed to change their loan to be exempted from repayment without taking into account their economic background, race or religion," he said.
He hopes this news will motivate more students to study hard and strive to be the top graduates and later be exempted from paying the PTPTN loan.
And yeah don't spend the money on something else...
<img src="https://preview.redd.it/ve6xaogh3fy41.jpg?auto=webp&amp;s=5eee85617e80e7f66e3db6e9d2b24f7045df1dde" alt="Hello god, it's me again... : r/EpicSeven" />
Additional information on PTPTN
PTPTN is a fund established under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education with the aim of providing loans for eligible Malaysian students that want to fulfill their tertiary studies at some selected universities.
Graduates ought to start paying for the loan 6 months after their study. This amount of time was deemed enough for the graduates to prepare and plan on how they wanted to manage their financial responsibilities.
The loan supports almost all types of education like diploma, first degree, master, doctorate and many others.
Refer to<a href="http://www.ptptn.gov.my/gateway/"> http://www.ptptn.gov.my/gateway/</a> for more details.
In a nutshell, this reintroduction of loan waiver will definitely help motivate the students to focus more on their study.
But remember, to always prioritize your health - your sleep and diet. What&rsquo;s the point of having good results and still looking all weak anyways? Good luck peeps, we can do this!💪

Good News: PTPTN Loan Waiver Will Be Given To All Top Graduates

Over the past few days, we&rsquo;ve been hearing a lot of news about our Malaysian athletes over their performance at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. But let's take a look of what's happening here at our own home soil too.
Recently, national &ldquo;Pencak Silat&rdquo; athlete Merrywati Manuil had gained the spotlight on social media for winning the gold medal at the 19th World Pencak Silat Championship held in Air Keroh, Melaka.
She was also spotted wearing a hijab during the competition which caught the attention of many netizens.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660118365/unsigned/scfxeziusfacdi8hirpu.png" />
&nbsp;
You may ask yourself, what&rsquo;s the big deal about wearing a tudung during competitions? In fact, the 21-year-old from Keningau, Sabah practices Christianity and is from the Murut ethnic group.
She had explained that the hijab is not mandatory to be worn for Silat competitions. However, despite being a Sabahan Murut and a Christian, she explains that it was her choice to wear it on social media.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3Dpfbid02FBg2f3ig2dqBUAFCbGUqc8CmL1iEgwMLLdTYc8jZABmwFSmucrcTsvQiaAvWGmjal%26id%3D100071973714736&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="787" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Silat is the heritage of the Malay people. I respect, admire, and love Silat, even if I&rsquo;m not a Malay. I chose to wear the headscarf even if it wasn&rsquo;t mandatory. There is no coercion or enforcement from any side,&rdquo; she said.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660118389/unsigned/xjdwfu8swsti4jktbw6z.webp" />
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&ldquo;The headscarf is not only compulsory for Malay women, but for me, it is appropriate and neat to wear it during the competition. I study the ways of the Malay people. So, of course I would follow and do what I have learned.&rdquo;

&nbsp;
Check out her performance below:

&nbsp;
Netizens praise and left supporting comments
In true Malaysian fashion, many Malaysians were touched by her post which had gained 12K reactions, 1.7K comments and 6K Shares on Facebook and 3.7K likes on Instagram at the time of writing this.
Here are some of the comments:
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660118480/unsigned/y3krffowrqmzxwzizlkn.png" />
&nbsp;
As how some people say, East Malaysia is very different from West Malaysia but it should be the case. Hopefully in the future we have more people like this!

Normally when our national athletes are abroad for a competition, we Malaysians would give them full support no matter regardless if they bring back a medal.
For those who are athletes (whether it being physical sports or even Esports) you&rsquo;ll know the mental stress is no stranger when it comes to training and competing.
Recently, our athletes had went to Birmingham, United Kingdom for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and many of our athletes are making the headlines.

&nbsp;
Unfortunately, our Queen of diving, Datuk Pandelela Rinong was in the wrong spotlight after a local newspaper had called her out due to her &ldquo;disappointing&rdquo; performance during her diving events. Stadium Astro reported that during the mixed synchronised 10-metre platform finals, she and Jellson Jabillin had placed fourth and that they missed out on securing a medal.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/birmingham?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#birmingham</a> Atlet terjun negara, Datuk Pandelela Rinong terus menghampakan negara apabila gagal buat kali ketiga berturut-turut meraih sebarang pingat termasuk emas pada Sukan Komanwel Birmingham 2022, hari ini.<a href="https://t.co/zWJymIMvlM">https://t.co/zWJymIMvlM</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That said local newspaper is Harian Metro and their tweet that was shared to their official Twitter page had caught the attention of many netizens.
&ldquo;National diving athlete Datuk Pandelela Rinong continues to disappoint the country when she failed for the third time in a row to secure any medals, including gold, at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.&rdquo; they wrote.
In fact, the newspaper even pointed out that Pandelela did not finish on the podium during multiple events such as the 10m platform individual and 10m platform synchro event prior to her finals with Jabillin.

&nbsp;
Regardless of the outcome, many were still proud that Pandelela had given it all during Birmingham 2022.
Harian Metro&rsquo;s tweet certainly gained the attention of many netizens on social media and slammed the newspaper for their unnecessarily harsh and negative tone.
Here are some of the tweets by netizens:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Noohhh anak haram mana buat headline ni 🥲

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Despite of her performance, Pandelela had kept her head up and shared her thoughts of Birmingham 2022 in a Twitter thread.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Tough love in Birmingham. It was a humbled experience in my 4th Commonwealth Games. No medal to bring home 🇲🇾 this time around. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/B2022?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#B2022</a> This is a thread...
&mdash; Pandelela Rinong (@Pandelela_R) <a href="https://twitter.com/Pandelela_R/status/1556650066076647424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 8, 2022</a></blockquote>

&nbsp;
Our diving queen had opened up stating that during her preparation for Birmingham 2022, her body recover process was slower than expected after returning from the <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1378/pandelela-bags-bronze-at-fina-world-championship-and-celebrates-it-in-the-most-malaysian-way-possible">Budapest World Championship</a> (where she had bagged a Bronze medal).
She also admitted that she struggled during the first day due to her not being 100% physically fit as she was trying to adapt to the local time zone. Despite it, she mentioned that she still had some great dives with Dhabitah Sabri and Jellson Jabllin during their mixed synchro. Pandelela also gave credit to Jellson who was still competing despite being injured.
She ended off the thread stating that she&rsquo;s thankful for the support that everyone had given her and that she&rsquo;s proud of the Malaysian diving team where the youngsters did well this time around.
Even YB Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah had shared his thoughts on the headline released by Harian Metro on Twitter, LinkedIn and TikTok.

Hopefully in the future our own local newspaper outlets will think twice before publishing such headlines. There&rsquo;s one saying most would say, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s easy to talk but why don&rsquo;t you try doing it yourself?&rdquo;. 
What do you think of this? Let us know in the comments.

Local Newspaper Slammed After Calling Pandelela’s Performance “Disappointing” At Commonwealth Games

The Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 was passed by Dewan Negara yesterday. So, what is this bill about?&nbsp; What does it mean to housewives in Malaysia? What sort of victory that we can tell from the perspective of feminists in Malaysia ?
 I would like to unravel these questions one by one in case you didn't quite catch up with the progress of this event.
<h2>Timeline :&nbsp;Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 </h2>
August 2021：The bill was drafted by the ministry and the Attorney-General's Chambers
19 July 2022：It was tabled by the Human Resources Minister - Datuk Seri M. Saravanan
25 July 2022:&nbsp; The bill was passed by Dewan Rakyat
9 August 2022: The bill was passed by Dewan Negara
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660110420/unsigned/pmbhl42auldfmqecwkij.jpg" alt="" width="586" height="428" />
<div class="article-image-gallery">

</div>
<h2>Explanation : Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022&nbsp;</h2>
By introducing the Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022, the Social Security Scheme (SKSSR) managed by the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso/ SOCSO) will be implemented:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The bill provides insurance for the housewives who register voluntarily to this programme, which includes disability benefits, medical coverage, constant attendance allowance, survivor's pension and funeral benefit.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Compensations can only be applied when there&rsquo;s an occurrence of a disabling accident.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">As long as the housewives continue to pay for the programme, the event of divorce, the death of the husband and the failure of the husband to contribute due to different reasons such as the loss of income would not affect the coverage of the insurance fees&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The husband or housewife will have to pay RM120 in advance to SOCSO to obtain 12 months of protection.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Single mothers or homemakers could also contribute if their husbands opt not to enrol into the programme with a payment as low as RM10 per month.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The scheme will not charge the estimated numbers of 150,000 housewives living in poverty, who register under the government&rsquo;s i-Suri initiative.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The requirements for signing up the scheme: -A housewife, which is defined in the bill as any woman attending the household chores on a full- time or part time basis, regardless of one&rsquo;s marital status. -Below 55-years-old</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Does It Help Housewives in Malaysia?&nbsp;</h2>
<a href="https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/07/28/swakian-homemakers-laud-housewives-social-security-bill-2022/">Some housewives</a>, particularly single mothers, seemed to be thrilled by the passing of the Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 by Dewan Rakyat back in July as they responded to the event positively. 
&ldquo;Imagine, at my age, it is very expensive to get an insurance policy these days. I am trying to put food on the table for my small family and getting an insurance policy is not viable at all for me. This HSS Bill is definitely timely.&rdquo; &nbsp;Patricia Charles, 44, single
&ldquo;I strongly support the bill because we do not know what the future holds. This insurance scheme provides a sense of relief in times of need, especially when one does not have much savings.&rdquo;&nbsp; Hartanty Hardi, 44, Housewife
&ldquo;Since I&rsquo;m self-employed with no regular income, this scheme is very helpful. It also allows husbands to show concern and take care of their wives&rsquo; needs.&rdquo;&nbsp; Wan Anis Ilyani Wan Mohd Azhar, 34, Home baker&nbsp;

<h2>The Situations Of Housewives In Malaysia</h2>
As<a href="https://api.nst.com.my/news/nation/2022/07/814807/housewives-social-security-bill-tabled-parliament-today#:~:text=The%20bill%20proposes%20that%20a%20scheme%2C%20known%20as,constant%20attendance%20allowance%2C%20survivor%27s%20pension%20and%20funeral%20benefit."> there are </a>approximately 4.95 million or 68.3% of women of working age in Malaysia who do not have their own career, the bill can be relevant and essential to this group of people.
Datuk Emeritus Prof Dr Norma, the Economics and Social Protection Expert in Universiti Malaya,&nbsp; pointed out that people who are not formally employed would not be covered by any form of social protection as Malaysia&rsquo;s social protection is offered according to one employment&rsquo;s status. Thus, the establishment of this bill can be perceived as a right direction to ensure the safety and health of women, especially those who suffer from poverty.
Here comes the difficult questions : To what extent does it benefit housewives? Does this signify a progress in the laws&rsquo; protection for women?&nbsp;
<h2>What Does The Future Hold For Women In Malaysia In Terms Of Policy Making?</h2>
In my opinion, the scheme is still conducted on a voluntary basis, which means that if the husband denies his wife any income and refuses to participate in it, the wife would not be able to access the given benefits.
However, Awang said that SOCSO will promote awareness campaigns like engagement sessions, road shows, Prihatin Squad activities, and its Social Synergy programme to endorse husbands to contribute to the SKSSR.&nbsp; Despite its lacking, it is still a step ahead on the long road of safeguarding women rights in Malaysia.&nbsp;
On a side note, the drafting of <a href="https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2022/07/08/time-for-a-menstrual-leave-policy-says-mp/">the menstrual leave policy </a>is still an ongoing debate in Malaysia. Without the implementation of such a law, a Sabah based company 'Brutti &amp; Besi' has granted its employees to take leave for period pain, becoming a pioneer in challenging the stigma of menstruation.&nbsp;
