More than a week ago, a war broke out between the Israelis and Palestinians which had claimed hundreds of lives. After 11 days of continuous strikes, both sides have agreed to end the war with a cease-fire mediated by Egypt.
The cease-fire came into force at 7AM Friday local time (2AM GMT), with Palestinians pouring onto Gaza&rsquo;s streets to celebrate. Mosque loud-speakers feted &ldquo;the victory of the resistance achieved over the Occupation (Israel) during the 'Sword of Jerusalem' battle.&rdquo;
Due to the war, the Eid al-Fitr festival could not be celebrated by the Palestinians. Instead, they have held Eid al-Fitr meals today to celebrate both the conclusion of Ramadan, as well as the end of the terror they have been living in for the past 11 days.

&nbsp;
Despite the truce, both sides said they are ready to retaliate any truce violations by the other. To avoid this from happening, two delegates from Cairo will be sent to monitor the cease-fire.
Gaza health officials said that throughout the war, 232 Palestinians, including 65 children, had been killed and more than 1,900 wounded in aerial bombardments. According to the United Nations, more than 90,000 people are displaced.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, death tolls in Israel are recorded at 12, with hundreds of people treated for injuries in rocket attacks that caused panic and sent people rushing into shelters.
Hamas, the Islamist group that rules Gaza, cast the fighting as successful resistance of a militarily and economically stronger foe.
In a televised address on Thursday, Biden extended condolences to bereaved Israelis and Palestinians and said Washington would work with the United Nations &ldquo;and other international stakeholders to provide rapid humanitarian assistance&rdquo; for Gaza and its reconstruction.

&nbsp;
The good news is also celebrated by Malaysians as #EidWithPalestine and &ldquo;Eid Mubarak&rdquo; went trending on Twitter.

With luxury lifestyles, travel vlogs, and sponsored unboxings dominating social media feeds, it&rsquo;s no wonder that many Malaysian youth are increasingly drawn to the idea of becoming full-time content creators. The appeal of turning hobbies into income&mdash;and the hope of achieving viral success&mdash;has even led some to consider abandoning formal education or traditional career paths.
But behind the glamour lies a far more complex reality. Popular culinary content creator Che Nom, known for her meticulously crafted cooking videos and trusted recipes, has taken to social media to deliver a stark and sobering message for those romanticising the creator lifestyle.
&ldquo;It Looks Fun, But There&rsquo;s More Than Meets the Eye&rdquo; 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/72c1a49549bc884e9ba8faaf45b15dbaad0400ac6005020be1b112871e52c413" />
In a widely shared <a href="https://www.facebook.com/resepichenom/posts/pfbid02FqcPj8oopnjHuRwSzYLPJdx48SeChuraK7nnPBXcL6QLrj8oKyM4yS8oRH231kTjl">Facebook post</a>, Che Nom opened up about the realities of running a content creation business, especially within the highly competitive culinary niche.
&ldquo;Many DM me saying they love cooking and want to start making food videos because they enjoy watching mine,&rdquo; she wrote. &ldquo;But what people often don&rsquo;t realise is that behind every short video is an enormous amount of effort, planning, and financial cost.&rdquo;
According to Che Nom, passion alone is not enough to survive&mdash;let alone succeed&mdash;in the fast-evolving digital content landscape. From high-quality video production and scripting to sound, lighting, recipe development and editing, each video involves multiple layers of labour and expertise.
Revenue vs. Reality: Why Views Don&rsquo;t Always Pay
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5f3e2939c597efcaf5ecb824c6db6fc347b2d7182335beed1b49bafb4fdeda1c" />
In what may come as a surprise to many, Che Nom revealed just how little ad revenue can be generated from a seemingly successful video. She pointed to a recent reel on Kek Lapis Sarawak, which received over 56,000 views, yet earned her only RM415.40&mdash;and that, she clarified, was more than a month after it was uploaded.
Even more revealing was the financial breakdown of her monthly production costs, which typically fall between RM12,000 and RM16,000 for just 5 to 6 videos:
<ul>
<li>Videographer: RM2,500&ndash;RM3,500</li>
<li>Editor: RM2,500&ndash;RM3,000</li>
<li>Kitchen assistant: RM2,000&ndash;RM2,500</li>
<li>Premium ingredients &amp; repeated recipe testing</li>
<li>Electric usage for ovens (often for hours)</li>
<li>Utilities, props, equipment, and editing software</li>
</ul>
&ldquo;For those just starting out&mdash;if your monthly views don&rsquo;t even hit 300,000, your ad revenue likely won&rsquo;t exceed RM2,500,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s not enough to cover basic costs, let alone make a living.&rdquo;
Seasoned Creators Are Struggling Too
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/42cf9284992b868217e00e1279e8c8a8164818dccdff52c33a4447120303d447" />
Che Nom didn&rsquo;t only speak from the perspective of a newcomer. She made it clear that even experienced content creators are now facing growing difficulties. As audience habits shift toward shorter formats like TikTok, YouTube viewership is declining for many, particularly on older videos that once generated passive income.
&ldquo;Many long-time creators are struggling now,&rdquo; she explained. &ldquo;RPMs (revenue per thousand views) are dropping, and it&rsquo;s getting harder for new videos to perform well. Passive income from older uploads is dwindling, and viewers have become far more selective.&rdquo;
In this environment, low-quality videos simply won&rsquo;t survive. Poor visuals, unclear audio, or lacklustre storytelling will quickly drive users to swipe away.
Burnout and Budget Pressure: The Emotional Toll
One major misconception Che Nom addressed is the belief that having a team lightens the load. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s only half true,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Yes, a team helps with production, but it also adds to monthly costs. If you go solo, you face burnout. If you hire help, you face higher expenses. Either way, it&rsquo;s tough.&rdquo;
The pressure to consistently produce high-performing content&mdash;combined with rising operational costs and unstable ad revenue&mdash;has led many in the industry to feel stretched thin, both financially and emotionally.
The New Rule: Diversify, Don&rsquo;t Depend on Ads
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2530abe6f858af9771e62d5ec2879a92e99636c01ffa12c2a1651ebaab8d646e" />
One of Che Nom&rsquo;s key messages to aspiring creators was simple but vital: do not rely on YouTube ads alone. Instead, she recommended building multiple revenue streams to support the content business:
<ul>
<li>eBooks: Offering exclusive recipes or guides</li>
<li>Affiliate marketing: Partnering with brands for commission-based promotions</li>
<li>Products: Selling branded merchandise, kitchen tools, or ingredients</li>
<li>Online classes: Hosting paid virtual workshops or tutorials</li>
</ul>
She stressed that creators should only choose monetisation methods that align with their expertise and values, rather than blindly following what&rsquo;s trending.
&ldquo;Find a niche that you&rsquo;re truly good at,&rdquo; she urged. &ldquo;And don&rsquo;t try to compare yourself to someone who&rsquo;s been in the game for a decade.&rdquo;
Final Thoughts: It&rsquo;s Not Just About Glamour&mdash;It&rsquo;s About Grit
Che Nom&rsquo;s message wasn&rsquo;t intended to discourage&mdash;it was meant to ground expectations in reality. She acknowledged the beauty and creative freedom that comes with content creation but reminded her followers that it&rsquo;s also a business that demands planning, resilience, and the willingness to adapt.
&ldquo;Content creation is an art, but the journey is filled with challenges,&rdquo; she concluded. &ldquo;If your passion is genuine, go for it. Just know that success takes more than talent&mdash;it takes strategy, sustainability, and strong mental preparation.&rdquo;
Che Nom&rsquo;s post is a crucial reminder at a time when the dream of going viral seems more accessible than ever. Behind the glossy thumbnails and upbeat vlogs are real people facing real challenges. As she puts it: the dream is worth chasing&mdash;but only with eyes wide open.

Che Nom’s Reality Check: The Hidden Costs And Realities Of Being A Content Creator In Malaysia

Former NCT member Moon Taeil, once a well-loved figure in the K-pop scene, now faces a seven-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to aggravated rape. His first court appearance on 18 June 2025 marks a pivotal moment in a scandal that first erupted in August 2024, when news broke of a foreign woman accusing Taeil of sexual assault while under the influence.
The case sparked immediate backlash, leading to the termination of his contract with SM Entertainment, who cited a complete loss of trust and ongoing criminal investigations. Since then, Taeil had maintained a low profile&mdash;until his silent, sombre arrival at the Seoul Central District Court, almost a year after the crime took place.
The Crime: Planned, Violent, and Targeted
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/eb2c7dfa105cdf2bc1d61324e66eff17adf5d78ebbf86b2d78725462a5f9195a" />
During the proceedings, the prosecution laid out a disturbing timeline of events. In the early hours of 13 June 2024, Taeil and two male associates met the victim&mdash;a Chinese national&mdash;at a bar in Itaewon, Seoul. The woman had no prior relationship with the men. According to prosecutors, the trio targeted her while she was intoxicated, before forcing her into a taxi bound for one of the defendant&rsquo;s homes in Bangbae-dong.
There, between 4:00am and 4:30am, the three men took turns raping the unconscious victim. The prosecution stressed that this was not a spontaneous crime, citing evidence including text messages exchanged between the men in which they acknowledged the victim&rsquo;s foreign nationality and discussed manipulating the taxi&rsquo;s GPS to obscure their true location&mdash;further signalling premeditation.
Surveillance and Digital Evidence
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b8e1dcf6d29ea8d634ceb5f6377f47af1e59da57da89e80c56412902a2694c16" />
The case relied heavily on surveillance footage and digital analysis. Prosecutors revealed it took nearly two months for authorities to review CCTV recordings and accurately reconstruct the suspects&rsquo; movements. The coordinated effort to conceal the crime strengthened the case for aggravated rape&mdash;an offence taken extremely seriously under South Korea&rsquo;s Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.
Prosecutors described the offence as being carried out with &ldquo;malicious intent and extremely poor moral character&rdquo;, underlining the calculated nature of the defendants&rsquo; actions.
Taeil Pleads Guilty, Cites Remorse and Personal Struggles
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/df2b1fff9fda9bfd009fc9d9ab81181a90cf7d6818a6f5097e0022813f8fc1e5" />
Taeil did not deny the allegations. When questioned by the judge, he clearly stated, &ldquo;I admit to all the charges.&rdquo; Speaking through his lawyer, Taeil expressed deep remorse, citing emotional and psychological distress, including trauma from a past traffic accident, financial struggles, and his current employment at a friend&rsquo;s restaurant.
His defence team added that Taeil had voluntarily surrendered to authorities, was attending ongoing counselling, and had completed sexual assault prevention education. He had also engaged with the victim through legal channels and received a statement from her expressing that she did not wish for further punishment.
&ldquo;I deeply regret the harm caused to the victim and feel great remorse,&rdquo; Taeil told the court in a closing statement. &ldquo;I apologise to everyone who is disappointed in me. If given leniency, I will treat it as the last chance in my life and dedicate myself to contributing positively to society.&rdquo;
Prosecution Unmoved by Apologies
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/08c8c4627f2ae020388ee1552e8bad9af8fc6cd0695b666f0fdd121e19ca5fdf" />
The prosecution, however, challenged the sincerity of Taeil&rsquo;s remorse. They argued that his surrender to police came only after a search and seizure had already been initiated, questioning whether his actions were motivated by accountability or desperation.
They also criticised the implausible claim that the men simply intended to &ldquo;drink more&rdquo; at a residence located far from the initial bar. This, they argued, added to the calculated nature of the crime. The prosecution is seeking not only seven years&rsquo; imprisonment but also a ten-year employment restriction and mandatory disclosure of personal information.
Public Reaction and Industry Backlash
The revelations have deeply shaken the K-pop community. Taeil, who debuted in 2016 as a member of NCT U and later joined NCT 127, was known for his clean image and charitable efforts. However, his continued appearances at group events, including NCT 127&rsquo;s 8th anniversary fan meeting, even after the investigation had begun&mdash;without disclosing the charges&mdash;drew sharp criticism from fans and the public alike.
The backlash led SM Entertainment to announce his contract termination on 15 October 2023, stating that the company could no longer endorse his activities given the severity of the allegations.
Sentencing Date Set for July
The sentencing for Taeil and his co-defendants is scheduled for 10 July 2025 at 2:00pm. All three men remain under investigation without detention, with the court previously ruling that&mdash;since they had confessed&mdash;there was no risk of fleeing or destroying evidence.
As the trial continues to draw national and international attention, the case is increasingly being viewed as a litmus test for accountability in South Korea&rsquo;s entertainment industry, where celebrity scandals are often met with mixed responses. The verdict will likely spark fresh discussions around rape culture, victim protection, and public figures&rsquo; moral responsibilities in South Korea and beyond.

Former NCT Member Taeil Faces Seven Years’ Jail For Aggravated Sexual Assault

Commuters in the Klang Valley may soon enjoy a much-needed improvement in how they access public transport passes. RapidKL, under Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, is preparing to launch a new feature within its Pulse mobile app that will allow users to purchase and activate the My50 monthly travel pass entirely through their smartphones. The feature is expected to go live in July 2025, in what could be a game-changing digital convenience for thousands of Malaysians who rely on RapidKL services daily.
Currently, purchasing a My50 pass online still requires users to physically visit train stations for activation. The upcoming update promises to eliminate the need for long queues and counter visits, replacing it with a fast and fully digital process &mdash; from buying the pass to activating it &mdash; all in-app.
What Is the Pulse App?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c8521bddb7673e4f899330571ec0aec134949b55a32a0a8202e8c92e03668b01" />
Pulse is the official mobile application developed by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad to enhance the commuting experience across the RapidKL network. It acts as a one-stop travel companion, offering real-time public transport updates, journey planning tools, estimated arrival times, and even service disruption alerts. Users can also access maps, fare information, and receive exclusive travel-related promotions.
In early 2025, Pulse underwent a significant update that brought a cleaner user interface, improved navigation, and better route planning features. Now, the next step in its evolution is enabling full digital management of the My50 monthly pass &mdash; a move in line with RapidKL&rsquo;s broader push for public transport digitalisation.
What Services Are Covered by RapidKL?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/86581d611401a7a25c1e00f2348e85e95c35b6d1bbf9c7d55f06b5bbe97f39e6" />
The My50 pass grants users unlimited rides for 30 days on a wide range of RapidKL services, making it ideal for both frequent commuters and casual travellers. These services include:
<ul>
<li>MRT (Mass Rapid Transit)</li>
<li>LRT (Light Rail Transit)</li>
<li>KL Monorail</li>
<li>BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) &ndash; Sunway Line</li>
<li>RapidKL buses</li>
<li>MRT feeder buses</li>
</ul>
For RM50 per month, the pass represents tremendous value, especially for city dwellers and workers commuting into Kuala Lumpur from the surrounding areas.
What to Expect with the New Pulse App Feature
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5c5451409cb4d2ac01fd6933b1181bbe51f32f230bffd439f70958c93a5f74d0" />
According to early teasers from RapidKL, the app update will introduce the following new capabilities:
<ul>
<li>In-app purchase of the RM50 My50 travel pass</li>
<li>Instant activation upon purchase</li>
<li>No requirement to visit station counters for verification or card tapping</li>
</ul>
This will not only save time but also make the My50 pass more accessible to tech-savvy users, especially younger commuters who prefer managing travel needs through their smartphones.
While a specific rollout date has yet to be confirmed, RapidKL has hinted that the update will be available by July 2025, coinciding with broader efforts to modernise and digitise Malaysia&rsquo;s public transport system.
NFC Phones Likely Required
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a07f6be153964ecb35b574d8fc8632eaffde22ed48eda281fd9bc7a230afbfca" />
Given that the My50 pass is traditionally tied to MyKad or MyRapid cards, which use NFC (Near Field Communication) technology for verification, it is expected that the Pulse app will also require users to own NFC-enabled smartphones. This functionality would mirror how Touch &lsquo;n Go eWallet allows users to top up cards via NFC scanning.
However, detailed technical requirements, device compatibility, and step-by-step usage guides have yet to be officially revealed by RapidKL.
Towards a Broader Digital Future for Public Transport
The Pulse app upgrade is part of a wider vision by Prasarana and RapidKL to digitise and modernise the public transport experience. By removing the last major physical barrier &mdash; station counter activation &mdash; the entire process of securing and using the My50 pass becomes seamless and more attractive to new users.
This move also ties in with an earlier plan announced by RapidKL to expand My50 support to Touch 'n Go NFC cards, thus breaking the exclusivity with MyKad. That transition was initially promised for May 2025 but has not yet been implemented. Whether this app update is part of that initiative remains unclear, but the timing suggests some alignment.
Why This Matters for Malaysian Commuters
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/09d47156568f8f082e647e51e6af403a177613f8a18256a77dad797930b774ea" />
The digitisation of the My50 pass through Pulse will likely encourage more Malaysians to use public transport, especially in light of rising fuel and toll costs. It reduces friction for users, improves accessibility, and speeds up the onboarding process for new commuters.
For now, Pulse already offers features such as:
<ul>
<li>Route navigation across MRT, LRT, Monorail, and buses</li>
<li>Real-time train and bus arrival estimates</li>
<li>Station and fare information</li>
<li>Integration with digital rewards and promos</li>
</ul>
Adding in-app pass management to the mix makes the Pulse app an all-in-one public transport solution, further aligning RapidKL with global trends in smart urban mobility.
Final Thoughts
With the upcoming My50 in-app activation feature, RapidKL is taking a significant step towards user-focused transport innovation. Once launched, it will not only save commuters time but also position Pulse as one of the most comprehensive public transport apps in the region.
As the official release date draws closer, all eyes will be on RapidKL to deliver a smooth rollout &mdash; and, potentially, spark a wider wave of digital improvements in Malaysia&rsquo;s transportation sector.

Is this a sing of renewal via our smartphones coming up? Commuters do hope it is.

RapidKL To Launch In-App My50 Pass Renewal Via Pulse App: A Major Win For Commuters

The Malaysian government has activated emergency evacuation plans for its citizens in Iran following the outbreak of armed conflict between Iran and Israel. As airstrikes and missile attacks enter their sixth consecutive day, Putrajaya has called on all Malaysians in the Islamic Republic to leave immediately, citing an increasingly volatile and dangerous situation.
From Surprise Strikes to Escalating Retaliation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7b512dbfbc40c156442a59e2b78176e778fae075d8d95fd2d7acd4bf06ede843" />
The current crisis began on Friday, 13 June 2025, when Israel launched an unannounced aerial offensive dubbed Operation Rising Lion targeting Iranian territory. The attacks reportedly killed several high-ranking Iranian military officers and nuclear scientists. The strikes came without prior warning and marked a significant escalation in hostilities between the two long-standing adversaries.

In retaliation, Iran responded with Operation True Promise 3 on 14 June, unleashing a barrage of ballistic missiles on multiple sites across Israel. The exchange of hostilities has continued into its sixth day, fuelling fears of a wider regional war and prompting foreign governments to begin pulling out their nationals.
Malaysia Urges Citizens to Leave Iran Immediately
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ee939d5710d4a353b81a5ac07992b2f7be788394795403c96ebe8af1d1b395bd" />
On 17 June, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wisma Putra) issued a strongly worded statement urging all Malaysian citizens in Iran to exit the country without delay. The ministry emphasised that the situation was highly unpredictable and could escalate further with little or no warning.
&ldquo;All Malaysians currently in Iran are strongly urged to leave the country immediately using any safe and available means,&rdquo; the statement read. &ldquo;The safety and wellbeing of Malaysians remain the Ministry&rsquo;s top priority.&rdquo;
The advisory followed confirmation that the Israeli strikes had hit sensitive Iranian nuclear facilities, drawing international alarm and increasing the urgency for Malaysian authorities to act.

Speaking at a press conference on 18 June, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil confirmed that preparations for the evacuation were already in motion. He said that Malaysians in Iran, including embassy staff, students, and tourists, are expected to leave the country by Friday, 20 June.
&ldquo;There aren&rsquo;t too many Malaysian nationals in Iran, but the government has taken swift steps. Visa arrangements have been completed, and plans for their safe exit are in place,&rdquo; he said.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan also briefed the Cabinet on the situation, assuring that all individuals involved were being contacted and advised accordingly.
Embassy Support and Emergency Contacts in Place

The Malaysian Embassy in Tehran remains operational and is providing full consular support to all registered Malaysians. The embassy has confirmed that all known citizens are currently safe and has urged them to maintain close communication as they prepare to depart.
Malaysians in Iran can reach out to the embassy for help through the following channels:
<ul>
<li>Telephone: +98 21 8807 2444 / +98 21 8807 8606 / +98 933 535 2602</li>
<li>Email: mwtehran@kln.gov.my / mwconsular.teh@gmail.com</li>
<li>Address: No. 25, 2nd Alley, North Zarafshan St, Shahrak-e-Gharb, Tehran</li>
</ul>

IAEA Confirms Nuclear Facilities Were Targeted
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bd1b2d9c9c2b74ed5752a6aab505f8d2c4a54a185d5276ab17d4417ee79061cc" />
Adding to the severity of the situation, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that two Iranian nuclear component facilities had been struck during the Israeli offensive. These include the TESA Karaj centrifuge production plant and a building at the Tehran Nuclear Research Centre used for advanced rotor testing.
"At the Tehran site, a building involved in the manufacturing and testing of advanced centrifuge rotors was hit. In Karaj, two structures responsible for centrifuge component production were destroyed," the IAEA stated.
Both sites were previously under international monitoring as part of the 2015 nuclear agreement, which collapsed after the United States withdrew in 2018. Tehran has yet to release an official statement regarding the extent of the damage or any casualties.
Growing Regional and Global Alarm
The tit-for-tat missile strikes between Iran and Israel have reignited fears of a broader Middle Eastern conflict. Military analysts have warned that the targeting of high-ranking personnel and nuclear infrastructure represents a significant escalation, one that could potentially draw in other regional powers or trigger further unrest in an already fragile geopolitical landscape.
Malaysia's rapid diplomatic response reflects the seriousness with which the government views the unfolding crisis. While Malaysian citizens in Iran are currently safe, officials stress that the window for a secure evacuation may narrow if hostilities intensify.
Wisma Putra Calls for Vigilance and Swift Action
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reiterated that the safety of Malaysians abroad remains a core priority. In its advisory, Wisma Putra reminded all citizens that the security situation in Iran remains fluid and dangerous, with the potential to deteriorate further without warning.
&ldquo;All Malaysians are strongly urged to act quickly and leave Iran through any available means. The embassy in Tehran is doing everything possible to assist,&rdquo; the statement read.
With diplomatic channels remaining open and coordination ongoing, the government hopes to complete the evacuation process by the end of the week, barring any further complications from the evolving conflict.

Malaysia Races To Evacuate Citizens As Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates Into Open Warfare

Despite being mandatory for most Malaysian workers, many contributors to the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) remain unaware of the full scope of benefits available to them. One such benefit is the Temporary Disablement Benefit (Faedah Hilang Upaya Sementara), which provides income support to workers who are temporarily unable to work due to accidents or injuries &mdash; even during their commute to or from the office.
A recent <a href="https://www.threads.com/@mikaylamajla/post/DK_G2VMSE97?xmt=AQF0E7z_Y0P-jZH1LGO6g_zDGOnxC3HNyQJYzS1CEXQjgA">viral post</a> by a Malaysian woman has highlighted just how effective and swift the claims process can be &mdash; if you know what steps to take.
A Freak Accident on the Way to Work
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4484df2bb9346e31e25e233bc62e2ee66411ef4130d7c73bb620e400d0fa9baf" />
The woman, a single mother, shared her experience on Threads, playfully beginning her post with: &ldquo;Who doesn&rsquo;t want free money??&rdquo; She went on to explain that she had fractured her foot after slipping into a roadside drain while dropping off her child at school &mdash; part of her usual journey to work.
&ldquo;It was kinda funny at first, but the pain was like death! I couldn&rsquo;t even stand,&rdquo; she wrote. Parents nearby helped carry her to the car, and her fianc&eacute; rushed her to a nearby clinic. The injury was so severe that a specialist later confirmed it required immediate surgery the very next day. Her X-ray showed seven fractures in her foot, including an avulsed peroneal tendon &mdash; a serious and painful injury.
Two Months of Recovery &ndash; And a PERKESO Lifeline
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fc4addafaf4db47dc1f1b08d72de2a2c2197f7bedb792f33387b7fdd41129f32" />
She was placed on two months&rsquo; medical leave and had to use a wheelchair and crutches during her recovery. Knowing she contributed to PERKESO via salary deductions, she investigated whether she qualified for the Temporary Disablement Benefit &mdash; and found that she did.
Crucially, PERKESO confirmed her eligibility despite the accident occurring while dropping her child at school and not yet being at her workplace. As it was part of her regular route to work, it counted as a valid commuting injury under PERKESO guidelines.
PERKESO then contacted her to verify her story. When asked why she didn&rsquo;t use public transport, she explained that as a single mother living in Bukit Damansara, owning a car was a necessity due to poor public transport access in her area.
Her claim was approved just four days after submitting the required documents.
Quick and Efficient Processing
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/490d416ad076a1824f7aa6affa0be418d57ede352dd05e22cf6bcbd7b8b728ac" />
She submitted her application at the PERKESO Jalan Tun Razak branch. Within five minutes, her number was called. The entire submission process took under 10 minutes.
The next day, she received a phone call for follow-up. By 13 June, the funds were deposited into her account. Her experience was so smooth that she praised PERKESO for their efficiency and even encouraged others to make use of their entitlements.
&ldquo;Thank you, PERKESO, for making things easier for this single mum,&rdquo; she said emotionally.
What Is Temporary Disablement Benefit?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cddd2d8def74a52c392aaa1a3fb2cd82804758d0d51fe66da7015ffef8f0d80d" />
According to PERKESO&rsquo;s official site, the Temporary Disablement Benefit (HUS) provides daily income support of 80% of your average assumed daily wage. The payout ranges from a minimum of RM30 to a maximum of RM158.67 per day. You must receive medical leave of at least four days (including the day of the accident) to be eligible.
This benefit is part of PERKESO&rsquo;s broader Employment Injury Scheme, which also includes:
<ul>
<li>Medical Benefits</li>
<li>Permanent Disablement Benefit</li>
<li>Constant Attendance Allowance</li>
<li>Vocational and Physical Rehabilitation</li>
<li>Dependents&rsquo; Benefit</li>
<li>Funeral Management Allowance</li>
<li>Education Benefits for Children</li>
</ul>
Additionally, PERKESO also administers the Invalidity Scheme, which provides 24-hour protection in cases of illness or disability not related to work. It includes benefits such as:
<ul>
<li>Invalidity Pension</li>
<li>Invalidity Grant</li>
<li>Constant Attendance Allowance</li>
<li>Survivor&rsquo;s Pension</li>
<li>Rehabilitation Facilities</li>
<li>Dialysis, Return-To-Work Support</li>
<li>Funeral and Education Benefits</li>
</ul>
There is also the Employment Insurance System (SIP), which offers financial assistance to those who have lost their jobs under qualifying conditions.
How to Make a Claim: Required Documents
To ensure your claim goes smoothly, make sure you prepare and submit the following documents:
<ol>
<li>Form 34 (downloadable from the PERKESO website)</li>
<li>Copy of your NRIC</li>
<li>Original medical certificate (MC) &mdash; keep a second copy for yourself</li>
<li>Payslips from the six months prior to the accident</li>
<li>Attendance record for the month of the accident</li>
<li>Bank statement from a local bank</li>
<li>Police report lodged at a station near where the accident occurred</li>
<li>Hand-drawn route map from home to your workplace showing your travel path</li>
</ol>
You&rsquo;ll also need to get your HR department to sign and stamp Form 34 before submission.
She chose to walk in rather than submit her documents online, explaining that doing so allowed her to confirm everything was in order on the spot &mdash; and get a receipt as proof of submission.
Submit Within 3 Months &ndash; Or Risk Rejection
Importantly, she reminded others that all claims must be submitted within three months of the incident. Claims made after that period will not be entertained, regardless of the reason.
Don&rsquo;t Overlook Your Rights
She concluded her post with a simple message: &ldquo;This is your right. PERKESO is here to protect us workers. Just follow the steps and prepare your docs properly.&rdquo;
Whether you&rsquo;re injured at work, on your way there, or returning home &mdash; you may be entitled to benefits you never even knew existed.

Know Your Rights: How A Single Mum's PERKESO Claim Was Approved In Just Four Days

Donald Trump&rsquo;s latest venture has sparked controversy once again &mdash; but this time, it&rsquo;s not politics, real estate, or golf courses. The former US President has officially entered the mobile phone and telco business through Trump Mobile, a newly launched MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) offering its own branded device &mdash; the gold-trimmed T1 Phone &mdash; and a 5G wireless subscription dubbed The 47 Plan.
A Telco Venture Built on Branding
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d07fcecefb84c755f2e46cceeb3457877169c4bb7e265c1cae7f6abb582d5734" />
Trump Mobile, operating as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), leases bandwidth from major US carriers such as Verizon, AT&amp;T, and T-Mobile, rather than owning its own infrastructure. In other words, it resells existing mobile network capacity under a Trump-branded label &mdash; a business model seen with other celebrity ventures like Ryan Reynolds' Mint Mobile.
The service, priced at US$47.45/month (~RM201), offers unlimited calls, texts, and data &mdash; including international texting to 100 countries &mdash; alongside fringe benefits like 24/7 telemedicine, roadside assistance, and call centres based in the United States. The plan&rsquo;s name is a nod to Trump&rsquo;s tenure as both the 45th and current 47th President of the United States.
However, despite the heavy branding, the Trump Organisation has quietly distanced itself from direct involvement in the technical operations. According to the fine print on the Trump Mobile website, its products and services are &ldquo;not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed or sold&rdquo; by The Trump Organisation or its affiliates. Instead, the Trump name is licensed under DTTM Corporation &mdash; a pattern familiar from previous ventures like Trump Steaks and Trump University.
The T1 Phone: Flashy Exterior, Familiar Core
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/77dd79a1d9080d180426ee81b1ea73d76516431098b71380e6695160210da807" />
The centrepiece of the launch is the Trump Mobile T1 Phone, retailing at US$499 (~RM2,120). Marketed as &ldquo;proudly designed and built in the United States&rdquo;, the phone boasts a gold-coloured chassis, a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, AI Face Unlock, under-display fingerprint sensor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 20W charging.
Yet, experts quickly raised red flags. Not only is the phone missing key specifications, such as the processor or RAM details, but the memory and storage categories appear mislabelled &mdash; with &ldquo;12GB Storage&rdquo; under Processor, and &ldquo;256GB Memory&rdquo; listed elsewhere. The device also features a triple camera setup (50MP + 2MP + 2MP) and a 16MP front camera, USB-C 2.0, and even a rare 3.5mm headphone jack.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ec10fc856ba719f95d4f6d9dfed5deb014c237acd94170b303b288d928ad2442" />
Despite patriotic marketing, multiple analysts believe the device is simply a rebranded Chinese Android phone. Tech sleuths identified it as a customised version of the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is manufactured by Chinese firm Wingtech, now owned by Luxshare, and sold online for as little as US$169 (~RM718).
Made in America? Not Quite
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/99febe7eae0737a3a17855973fb359579768542e6945007006597389788f85a9" />
Though Trump Mobile claims the phone is built in the US, analysts and tech experts have called this highly improbable. Counterpoint Research&rsquo;s Blake Przesmicki wrote that &ldquo;despite being advertised as an American-made phone, it is likely that this device will be initially produced by a Chinese ODM (original design manufacturer).&rdquo;
In a CNBC interview, The Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel said bluntly: &ldquo;The only phone you could get for $499 by September is undoubtedly a rebranded Chinese Android phone.&rdquo;
Even Trump&rsquo;s own family seems unsure. Eric Trump stated in a podcast that the phones would &ldquo;eventually&rdquo; be made in the US &mdash; a claim met with widespread scepticism. A Trump Organisation spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal that manufacturing would take place in Alabama, California, and Florida, yet provided no evidence or contracts to back this claim.
Infrastructure Reality Check
Experts agree that full-scale smartphone production in the US is not currently feasible. As Tinglong Dai of Johns Hopkins University explained, &ldquo;There&rsquo;s absolutely no way you could make the screen, get that memory, camera, battery, everything&rdquo; in the US by this fall. The only partial exception is the Librem 5 USA from Purism &mdash; a phone that costs US$1,599 (~RM 6,795), lacks 5G or OLED displays, and is only partially assembled in the US.
Even Trump Mobile&rsquo;s promotional push underlines the contradiction: on one hand, the company boasts &ldquo;Made in USA&rdquo; branding, while on the other, the Trump Mobile website distances itself from actual design or manufacturing responsibilities.
The MVNO Gamble
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5253a32c1f678a60016f11005b80e3a2e81ed3278f35b28b3f250d576010ebd3" />
From a business standpoint, Trump Mobile faces long odds. MVNOs represent only 3&ndash;4% of the US wireless market, and they struggle with customer churn and profitability. Analyst Michael Ashley Schulman noted that unless Trump Mobile surpasses one million subscribers, its financial impact would be negligible, especially when compared to mainstream carriers or more affordable MVNOs like Mint Mobile.
The T1 Phone&rsquo;s $499 price tag also makes it less competitive against similarly spec&rsquo;d budget phones, especially when the same hardware appears on Amazon for a third of the price, albeit without Trump&rsquo;s gold branding.
Politics, Profit, and Potential Pitfalls
Critics argue that this is yet another example of Trump using the presidency to enrich his brand. Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig noted, &ldquo;President Trump considers the presidency a vehicle to grow his family&rsquo;s wealth. Maybe this example will help more come to see this undeniable truth.&rdquo;
Financial disclosure documents reveal Trump earned over US$600 million from various ventures before his second term began &mdash; including licensing deals, golf resorts, and now, tech branding. Trump-related crypto projects alone have generated hundreds of millions since then.
Still, the Trump Organisation&rsquo;s track record with branded consumer goods is spotty at best. Failed ventures include Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, Trump University, and Trump Ice &mdash; all now defunct.
Final Verdict?
Whether Trump Mobile and the T1 Phone succeed remains to be seen. For now, it appears to be a rebranded Chinese phone wrapped in American patriotism, sold alongside a mid-range telco subscription bolstered more by political identity than tech innovation.
At best, it&rsquo;s a flashy experiment in brand loyalty. At worst, it&rsquo;s another Trump-branded flop. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Trump Mobile Unveils RM2K ‘Made-in-USA’ Phone – Analysts Say It’s Chinese At Heart

Renowned Malaysian singer, actor, and songwriter Muhammad Na&rsquo;im Daniel Baharin &mdash; better known to fans as Naim Daniel &mdash; has pleaded not guilty to a charge of physically sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl. The 28-year-old appeared at the Sessions Court in Putrajaya on the morning of 17 June 2025, following weeks of intense speculation and growing public scrutiny.
The charge relates to an incident said to have occurred on the evening of 19 May 2025 at around 8.56pm, at a hotel in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. According to court documents, Naim is alleged to have committed a sexual act for the purpose of sexual gratification without intercourse, categorised as &ldquo;physical sexual assault&rdquo; under Malaysian law.
Charged Under Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bff85cf7910fcd2db1a13bc48f311b3410691199b37025197e589d2150011305" />
The case has been filed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (Act 792), a provision that specifically targets non-penetrative sexual offences against minors. If convicted, Naim could face a maximum of 20 years in prison and may also be subjected to corporal punishment in the form of whipping.
The case was heard before Judge Datin M. Kunasundary, with Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Izzah Shaharuddin leading the prosecution. Representing Naim were legal counsels Datuk Amirul Ridzuan Hanif and Mohd Irwan Sumadi.
The prosecution requested bail be set at RM15,000, with additional conditions including the surrender of Naim's international passport and strict orders preventing any contact with the alleged victim or prosecution witnesses. The court allowed bail at RM12,000 with one surety, but agreed to enforce the added conditions put forward by the prosecution.
Timeline of Events: From Arrest to Courtroom
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ef08aaef591327a8defe8f83fd7d34e8f3f641d05d0a1d10b19121e28cbdfc1" />
News of the case began circulating earlier in June, when local media outlets reported that a male celebrity had been arrested in connection with the alleged assault of a teenage girl. Initial details were scarce, though reports suggested the suspect and the victim had been in contact for some time prior to the alleged incident.
On 3 June, police arrested Naim Daniel, who was released on police bail the following day after giving his statement. According to Bukit Aman CID Sexual, Women, and Child Investigation Division principal assistant director Senior ACP Siti Kamsiah Hassan, the actor first encountered the teenager at a caf&eacute; where she was employed. Over the following weeks, they reportedly maintained contact, culminating in a private meeting at a hotel in Petaling Jaya.
Following the arrest, speculation ran rampant online. Although authorities did not initially release the name of the suspect, netizens quickly zeroed in on Naim Daniel as the likely individual involved. Social media users cited his sudden silence on platforms and recent absence from the public eye as suspicious. When he finally appeared in court, it was seen as confirmation by many who had speculated about his involvement.
Court Appearance: Calm Demeanour Amidst Media Frenzy
Naim arrived at the courthouse in Putrajaya shortly before 9am, escorted by his mother in a white Mercedes-Benz. Dressed smartly and appearing composed, he greeted members of the press with a short &ldquo;Assalamualaikum, okay InshaAllah,&rdquo; before entering the court complex.
After the charges were read in a closed-door session, Naim formally entered a plea of not guilty. When later approached by the media outside the courtroom, he declined to go into detail, citing the early stage of the proceedings. However, he did offer a brief statement asserting his innocence and commitment to clearing his name.

&ldquo;I understand that this is a very serious accusation. I know many have questions, and some are even shocked by this. But as the matter is still at its beginning, I will not comment further to avoid interfering with the legal process. I leave everything in the hands of the justice system,&rdquo; he said.
Focus on Mental Health and Public Image
The Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) 34 winner said that he is currently prioritising his personal well-being amidst the intense public attention. &ldquo;For now, I want to focus on my health and inner peace. I appreciate those who&rsquo;ve expressed concern. I&rsquo;m doing well, Alhamdulillah, and I hope for everyone&rsquo;s prayers,&rdquo; he added.
Naim&rsquo;s legal team later confirmed that the bail amount of RM12,000 had been paid and that his passport had been handed over to the court as required. The next mention of the case has been scheduled for 18 August 2025 at the same court.
Public Reaction: Outrage, Disappointment, and Divided Support
The charges against Naim have sparked an emotional and polarised reaction among Malaysians. The public, especially on social media, has been vocal in expressing shock, dismay, and anger. Many expressed disappointment, given Naim&rsquo;s previously wholesome image and his popularity among younger audiences.
&ldquo;Projek: High Council,&rdquo; the drama in which Naim starred as Ayam, gained a cult following earlier this year. His involvement in various campaigns and youth-oriented programmes only amplified the backlash from those who feel betrayed by the allegations.
However, some fans have chosen to withhold judgment until the conclusion of the legal process. Supporters have called for due process to be respected, noting that an accusation does not equal guilt. A few even took to social media to wish him strength, using hashtags like #StayStrongNaim.

A Watershed Moment for Celebrity Accountability in Malaysia?
The case has also reignited broader conversations about accountability within Malaysia&rsquo;s entertainment industry. Advocates for child protection laws and women's rights groups have called for the media and public not to sensationalise the matter but to allow the legal system to proceed unhindered.
Legal experts say the coming weeks will be crucial. If the case proceeds to trial, the prosecution will need to present substantial evidence. Conversely, Naim&rsquo;s legal team is expected to build a defence around consent and context, though the fact that the victim is a minor will significantly complicate such arguments.
For now, the question of guilt or innocence remains with the courts. What is clear, however, is that this case marks a significant test of Malaysia&rsquo;s judicial system, media ethics, and public attitudes towards celebrity and accountability.
