Untuk keluar dari zon selesa, kita perlu bersedia dengan tentangan terhadap kebiasaan yang kita miliki, meskipun ia melibatkan agama kita sendiri. Apabila berhadapan dengan tentangan, jangan pula kita mudah melatah dan berputus asa.
Kita perlu bijak dalam mengadaptasikan prinsip hidup kita dengan budaya dan penerimaan orang sekeliling. Seperti apa yang dilakukan oleh Dr. Farah Shaheera Roslan setelah ditendang dari bilik pembedahan kerana memakai tudung yang dikira boleh menjadi pembawa kuman ke dalam bilik bedah.

Pada tahun 2018, dia telah dipaksa keluar dari bilik pembedahan di Queen&rsquo;s Medical Centre dengan alasan tudungnya tidak diiktiraf untuk pemakaian di bilik bedah.
Terkesan dengan kejadian tersebut, dia bertekad untuk mencari penyelesainnya. Setelah membuat beberapa perbincangan dengan mentor dan orang atasan, muncullah idea untuk membuat tudung pembedahan pakai buang ini.

Sejurus selepas itu, National Health Service Trust lah premis kesihatan pertama yang menawarkan produk tersebut, hasil kolaborasi dengan Farah dan mentornya. Mentornya, Tierney ada mengatakan bahawa kos pembuatan tudung ini tidaklah banyak, namun ia akan menjadi titik perubahan kepada sesiapa yang memerlukannya.
Sebelum itu, Farah memakai tudung biasa sahaja sepanjang hari, yang mana dia maklum bahwa tudung biasa bukanlah pilihan yang terbaik untuknya.
Ini kerana ia tidak se-steril pelitup kepala yang selalu ditawarkan. Oleh itu, dia tidak dibenarkan untuk memasuki dewan bedah kerana takut akan kesan buruk yang mungkin akan terjadi- menyebarkan kuman yang boleh menjangkiti pesakit.

Kini, sudah 3 tahun berlalu setelah kemunculan tudung pembedahan pakai buang ini, Dr. farah kelihatan senang dan gembira kerana dapat menyertai rakan kerja yang lain ke bilih bedah. Lihat sahaja postingan di bawah:

&ldquo;[saya] rasa berbesar hati menjalani pembedahan dengan mereka yang hebat ini pada hujung minggu lalu.
Sebenarnya, saya tak perasan pu&nbsp; sepantas mana saya bedah. Keutamaan saya pada waktu itu dan selamanya adalah keselamatan pesakit. Jadi saya akan ambil seberapa banyak masa yang boleh untuk menyelamatkan mereka.
Tapi pada hujung minggu lalu, mereka telah memperhatikan detikan jam ketika saya (doktor pelatih tahun 2) sedang melakukan pembedahan berseorangan pada satu kes kecemasan.
Rupa-rupanya saya mengambil masa kurang dari 40 minit sahaja untuk mengeluarkan appendicitis yang besar tu. Biasanya pembedahan ini mengambil masa 60 minit ke atas.
Oleh itu, mereka bersorak di akhir pembedahan dan kami bersa gembira dan lega bersama-sama.
p/s - lelaki yang dekat katil tu bukan pesakit tau, tu pekerja kita &gt;.&lt;&rdquo;&nbsp;
Perkongsian tersebut menunjukkan bahawa, dia sangat gembira dengan suasana pekerjaannya sekarang. Boleh masuk bilik bedah, ada rakan sekerja yang baik dan mentor yang sangat membantu.&nbsp;

Kisah Dr.Farah ini mengajarkan kita untuk tidak mudah berputus asa dan terus berusaha mencari jalan penyelesaian. Kerana pada akhirnya, penyelesaian itulah yang telah menjadi kebanggannya dan membantu dia untuk bergiat sebagai seorang doktor yang berjaya!

Doktor Pelatih Ini Mencipta Tudung Pembedahan Pertama Di Dunia!

&ldquo;No one has ever become poor by giving.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Probably we have heard this quote countless times from our relatives, or even social media. But isn&rsquo;t &lsquo;reducing&rsquo; what we have right now the main point of giving? How come we won&rsquo;t become poor when we give to someone else?&nbsp;
Well, to answer your question, let&rsquo;s take a look at this wholesome story that comes from the Sabahan influencer, Adrian Edy <a style="color: #e03e2d;" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@adrianedy7">(@adrianedy7)</a> who is famous for helping people in need with his generosity.&nbsp;
This time, Edy helps a Foodpanda rider named Mohd. Khairudin or Khai, by giving him a bicycle after knowing that Khai has to travel kilos to deliver food from one place to another by foot. Yes, you heard us right. By foot. Walking. Without any transportation, unless the distance is not walkable then he takes a Grab ride to deliver the food to the customer&rsquo;s home.&nbsp;He posted it on his TikTok account which has gained more like 36K likes and thousands of positive reactions from netizens.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@adrianedy7/video/7192911238819597595" data-video-id="7192911238819597595">

Khai became famous after one of his customers recorded a video of Khai delivering their food from the restaurant to the hotel they are staying at, which was located around 6-7 kilometers away.&nbsp;
After getting notified by the netizens, Edy made the initiative to find Khai and tried to reach him. After a week of searching, he finally managed to get in contact with Khai.
Edy finally meets Khai and had a talk with him before he gives the bike as a surprise. Edy stated in his TikTok video that Khai uses Foodpanda service as his main livelihood. He always spares some money to send to his family in Semporna while he lives in an RM380 rental room in Kota Kinabalu.
The whole scene was so wholesome! After Khai saw the bike, he burst into tears and thanked Edy a lot because of the bike he gave him. However, Edy asked Khai if he had a driver's license before they even met because he wanted to give him a motorbike as a gift.&nbsp;

"Do you know how to ride a motorcycle? Have you got a license?&rdquo; asked Edy to Khai. But Khai himself merely requested a bicycle. He stated that he is unsure of when he will receive his driver's license. Additionally, getting a license costs some amount of money, including motorbike maintenance and petrol.
Well, that&rsquo;s very kind of you, Edy! Hope we all can learn from him how to humanize humans and empathize with people in need. Like Edy said, &ldquo;bila kita rasa kita susah, ada lagi yang susah daripada kita&rdquo; (If we think that it&rsquo;s not enough for us, there are people that needs more than us.)

The fact that he has to walk daily to deliver his order or book a Grab ride if the location is too far is heartbreaking.

#Heartwarming: Sabahan Influencer Gifts FoodPanda Rider A Bicycle 

Ever since the lockdown era has ended, many countries around the world have reopened their borders to encourage tourism in the country and Malaysia is one of them.
It&rsquo;s a known fact that tourism plays a big role in Malaysia&rsquo;s economy with it contributing up to 6.7% to the country&rsquo;s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019. It is also the industry which offers the largest sector of employment in Malaysia which consist of a quarter of the workforce.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/77477fd8bd707bce88f2ca889abd8109b5c46c12e45c94dc4ae1ae1019d99caa" />
Thankfully, our country's tourism is starting to recover and the beauty of our country is attracting many tourists again. But it looks like we are starting to face a problem that&rsquo;s always happening in Southeast Asia.
Begpackers Are Back
For those who don&rsquo;t know what &lsquo;Begpackers&rsquo; are foreign tourists who typically consist of Caucasians who come to Malaysia to travel and later resort to begging locals on the streets after they have run out of money. Typically, you can find them in along the streets of Bukit Bintang, Central Market and Jalan Sultan Ismail.

Recently, there had been sightings of &lsquo;begpackers&rsquo; sitting on the streets of Bukit Bintang as they held up a sign asking for money to get food and a return flight ticket in Malay.
Twitter user Mischa Selamat (@Michellelanious) posted the video of a couple who sat in front of Public Bank next door to the Grand Millennium Hotel Bukit Bintang. But instead of helping them out, the Twitter user questioned the public opinion of whether it should be reported to the DBKL or Immigration.
At the time of writing this, the tweet had gained over 1.5K Retweets and over 1.7K likes on the social media platform. Many Malaysians had shared their thoughts about the begpackers and many of them expressed hate towards them.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/67c01dd96ec757efc71534431a40d12ebfd5256d43c1a93f05f01eb5cd357bae" />
Netizens say that they are trying to take advantage of our kindness as the money they get from the public is likely for them to fund their tickets to travel. Unlike our very own local baggers, all they are only asking for money to purchase themselves a meal.
Within Mischa&rsquo;s Twitter thread, it was understood that the issue had been reported to the immigration and DBKL.

In another tweet by Twitter user @HolyCannoli09, she states that these begpackers have been around for quite a while now as the tweet also dated from 17 January 2023.

In her tweet thread, she highlighted that those who want to travel should be able to afford it, if they can&rsquo;t then don&rsquo;t attempt it.
Back in 2022, local influencer Reina Lum who is also an ex-lawyer shared her thoughts on the issue on TikTok and highlighted that the begpacker issue is a massive problem in Malaysia.

Unlike other countries the laws there are strict. For those who travel, many would know that you&rsquo;ll need to declare how much you have brought to travel and the immigration officers will deem if you have sufficient funds to travel the country effortlessly.
According to theMalaysian Law, begging in public spaces is considered a crime. According to Section 27(C) of the Minor Offences Act 1955, anyone found begging in a public place when he or she is capable of earning a living can be fined up to RM100 or imprisoned.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments of netizens about the whole begpacker situation:

Malaysians Furious At ‘Begpackers’ Who Take Advantage Of Our Kindness

Malaysia is full of historical landmarks. Whether you&rsquo;re in Melaka seeing the remains of the Portuguese Fortress before our country&rsquo;s independence to the historical and incredible architecture of the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, there&rsquo;s always a sight to see.
Unfortunately, despite how historical a building may represent as a landmark that&rsquo;s known by many, some times are bound to come to an end. This time around, the Rex Cinema along Burmah Road in Penang is set to be demolished.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0bec3475611f2b1f4eebadbd9e8c963d2f7ec09d379b7537af410809c362cca5" />
The cinema was designed by Charles Geoffrey Boutcher, a London-born architect and partner of the architectural firm Stack &amp; McNeill in Malaya. He was also involved in projects such as the Kedah House in Penang and the Zahir Mosque in Alor Star.
It was constructed in 1939 and cost a total of 70,000 Straits Dollars at the time and it was dubbed as the best cinema in the region. It had an Art Deco architectural style that originated in France and featured chairs imported from America. Plus, the cinema had centralised air-conditioning which can cool off 1,00 people and it was something unheard of at the time.
The cinema was operated until the early 2000s before it was taken over by a furniture shop.
Demolition Questioned By Many
The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) announced the approval of a 27-story condominium project. If the developers were to follow MBPP&rsquo;s guidelines on the project, then the building plans will be given the green light said Komtar assemblyman The Lai Heng.
A <a href="https://www.change.org/p/save-rex-penang-mbppinang?source_location=search">petition</a> was created on change.org where over 1,700 people had signed for the town council to save the cinema. The description states that the cinema is located within the UNESCO wider setting and listed in the state government&rsquo;s very own 2013 Built Heritage inventory.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a3d65ea1a8ac973294e0710ca9d868246e5a013c66bddd247f119dbe5ac719d6" /> Image for illustration purposes
Currently, the Rex Cinema building is not listed in George Town&rsquo;s UNESCO World Heritage Site. &ldquo;The local authorities should reserve its judgement on the demolition of any site that is thought to have heritage value,&rdquo; said Mark Lay, founder of George Town Heritage Action Group.
Fond Memories Of The Cinema
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/40c3361d5271ed437f000a9cb7c8849b07beffcb09baa9805eaad4308512c884" />
Many shared the stories they had as they remember the cinema being one of the most iconic landmarks in the area. A businessman, Gary Nair, recalled the time he watched &ldquo;Ben-Hur&rdquo; at the cinema and it only costs 40 cents in the 60s. &nbsp;
&ldquo;There is a great kopitiam shop next to the cinema too, where we would eat to our heart&rsquo;s content with friends. The Rex Cinema is a Penang icon and it is a pity to see a piece of Penang&rsquo;s heritage chiselled away,&rdquo; he said.
Other Penangites also recalled how they used to head to the cinema with their family for movies in the 1980s and 1990s. They described the building to have beautiful architecture and was definitely one of the most state-in-the-art cinemas when it opened back in the day and remained so for quite a while too.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/705d3f77cf8142daa6fe617d483432e2ad92c3df8bc3d4cfb443b4eaa612cfe5" />
Penangite Nor Azan had expressed disgust as he showed concern for the several incidents of the demolition of architecture in Penang being torn bit by bit.
"We are talking about a Class A heritage building, which is really magnificent and a marvellous piece of art and architecture. We need to preserve all our heritage buildings,&rdquo; he said.
Others who signed the petition had also stated that the building should be resuscitated and turned into a community and cultural centre, event or even retail space.
As of now, the MBPP mayor Datuk Yew Tung Seang had not released any comments about the demolition and petition.

Penangites To Bid Farewell To The Iconic Rex Cinema Building

Everyone wants to look trendy nowadays and nothing screams trendy if you&rsquo;re spotted with the latest drip in the market.
The Nike x Tiffany collaboration is the most highly anticipated collaboration in the fashion world and it&rsquo;s finally here!
The company had been teasing the collaboration for over a year now and they have just released a &ldquo;Legendary Pair&rdquo; of Air Force 1&rsquo;s (AF 1) as a way to mark its 40th anniversary.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/292588c7dc4cf6f3bc5261ccd78bad0e48dfe548e96fdf8ec024bf547c361d84" />
The Nike Air Force 1 1837 comes in a spotting Tiffany Blue box and the shoe is in an all-black suede featuring the iconic swoosh in Tiffany Blue. The shoe also features a 925-silver tab on the heel which co-brands the heritage of Tiffany &amp; Co.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6eb65807b80a25f2ab48ef34912f8128fea95cf9caeda2d2b809ce0d04eb6e78" />
The collaboration was expected as the brand was looking to focus on becoming a modern luxury brand after its acquisition by LVMH in 2021 which helped the luxury conglomerate grow more than 18%.
Recently, Lebron James was spotted wearing the unreleased shoe and a jacket to go along with the look. Tiffany Exec, Alexandre Arnault was also spotted at the Knicks game rocking the shoe.

The shoe will come out on 7 March 2023 via the Nike SNKRS app and will cost $400 (~RM1,696) which is %290 (~RM1,229) more than the standard AF 1 &rsquo;07 which is Nike&rsquo;s most iconic sneaker to date.
If you missed your chance of getting your hands on a pair, it will likely be available on platforms such as GOAT or StockX.
But wait, isn&rsquo;t a black AF 1 shoe controversial in the sneaker community?&nbsp;
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/qMHkcShZ3S0AAAAd/black-air-forces-longbeachgriffy.gif" />
For those who don&rsquo;t know, the significance of a Black AF 1 shoe became a symbol of someone who &ldquo;does not care at all about himself or anyone else. They are wild and should not be messed with.&rdquo;
More Than Just Shoes
Aside from the release of the limited-edition shoe, the brand had dropped a couple of items to go along with the shoe.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6933483b3fd42dc09b819f4d537f200958a56c721a33f890e1df3f9e37e67434" />

In the images, accessories such as a silver shoehorn, a silver shoe brush, silver dubraes and a silver whistle are available for purchase. The price will range from $250 to $475 (~RM1,060 &ndash; RM2,014). That means if you were to fork out cash to purchase the shoe, you&rsquo;ll be looking at spending around $650 (~RM2,750) to over $1,500 (~RM6,360) if you purchase more than one accessory.

Aside from the shoe and accessories, there&rsquo;s still no information about the Nike x Tiffany &amp; Co. Varsity Jacket which honestly looks pretty slick.

Let&rsquo;s Look At The Pros &amp; Cons Of This Collaboration
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/af934fff5b091b2bbe6db85f5a6a1db5a0808e9a5520d100bc3654e06382f945" />
As for the Pros: The collaboration can help increase the revenue of both companies from a brand standpoint. It is also of Nike&rsquo;s more &ldquo;affordable&rdquo; collaborations out there. It&rsquo;s a win-win situation for both the brand and buyers who got them at retail as the shoe will be more lucrative on the resale market.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3a67eaddfa068afd6f014a0b77fd837c1f21c10b5064a9308fa7dca185cb3b04" />
For example, when Nike announced the limited-edition Louis Vuitton AF 1 shoe, they were $2,750 (~RM11,661) in retail and were later listed online between $8,000 - $23,000 (~RM33,924 &ndash; RM97,531). But we have to remember that this was only achievable due to the shoe being designed by the legendary and late LV Lead, Virgil Abloh.

As for the Cons:
Now with every pro, there are always cons but this time around, there isn&rsquo;t much to it. But here&rsquo;s a short list of cons we may have spotted out; The collaboration is probably one of the &ldquo;most boring&rdquo; collaborations out there as the shoe looks pretty plain in comparison to all the other shoes made by Nike in the past.
Speaking of a &ldquo;plain-looking shoe&rdquo;, here&rsquo;s what an Ai generated if Nike and Tiffany &amp; Co. were to collab on shoes:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Observation about Generative AI and consumer brand expectations: There were *so many* good and interesting / provocative AI takes on what the Tiffany's x Nike collab had the potential to release... that the actual product once revealed was a bit underwhelming. <a href="https://t.co/d09LDovZNW">pic.twitter.com/d09LDovZNW</a>

Now that would be nice, wake up Nike!!
From a branding standpoint, it doesn&rsquo;t look like it fits too well as criticised by many. We&rsquo;ve seen many luxury brands and celebrities collaborate in the past years as they made their way into the streetwear and sneakers market, but not all of them did too well such as the fall of Adidas and Kanye West&rsquo;s partnership.

Here&rsquo;s some of the comments of social media users on the collaboration:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I&rsquo;d much rather see jewelry out of a Tiffany&rsquo;s X Nike collaboration and not a shoe.

For reference, these were the Diamond Supply Co. Aqua Blue Nike SB Dunk Low sneakers that released in 2005. It only retailed for $65 (~RM275) back then and it&rsquo;s now valued at least $2,017 (~RM8,553) to $28,340 (~RM120,175) on <a href="https://stockx.com/nike-dunk-sb-low-diamond-supply-co-aqua-blue">StockX</a>.

All in all, the collaboration alone just looks like a form of viral marketing to boost both the Nike and Tiffany &amp; Co. names.
If we had the money to purchase the shoe, would we? Yes, we would and we&rsquo;ll daily wear the shoe just like how every shoe is meant. But, down the line, we&rsquo;ll probably regret it once it fetches a high price on the resale market or even auctions.

Nike x Tiffany & Co. Reveals Their Highly Anticipated “Legendary Pair” Of Sneakers

We all know and understand that inflation has really affected many Malaysians over the past few years and we can clearly see it when it comes to purchasing food.
On average, the majority of restaurants or even mamak stalls charge a fair amount for a meal. These days, an average meal can cost over RM15 and if you were to include a nice or &ldquo;fancy&rdquo; drink, it can range between RM4 to RM20 for a drink alone.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/FQHKew3K9jcAAAAM/no-money-wallet.gif" />
Introducing RM5 Meals
Despite the inflation issue, it looks like many Malaysians, especially those who are categorised under the B40 category can now have a sigh of relief thanks to the RM5 Menu Rahmah initiative that began implementation at 15,000 food outlets across the country.
The initiative was launched as a way to overcome the increasing cost of living in Malaysia. The RM5 &ldquo;Menu Rahmah&rdquo; will be serving lunch and dinner meals at a price of RM5 only. Each meal will include rice, a protein of our choice (chicken or fish), vegetables and rice. Meals like Nasi Paprik and Chicken Rice are also available and a bottle of mineral water will be provided.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ca6be3b95a5ebdaf3164aa76da68e7fde6d8d7ccda72627ba7ae6eabdcfaecf3" />
The food choices don&rsquo;t only cover meals with rice as there are a variety of choices such as kebabs, shawarma's or even rojak and it will all depend on where you choose to dine in. To find a restaurant that provides this, a Menu Rahman sticker will be posted outside outlets to indicate that the Menu Rahmah is now available.
During the launch of the initiative, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub said that he hopes that the B40 group will be able to purchase food and no longer go hungry.
&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think others who aren&rsquo;t from hardcore or poor households will take advantage of the Rahmah Menu served. However, they are free to do so if their money runs out by the middle of the month,&rdquo; he said.
&nbsp;A good thing to note about the initiative is that the food portions were not compromised as they believed in helping the people.

Mydin Offers Food From RM4.90

Meanwhile at Mydin, during the launch of the Menu Rahman, the supermarket had labelled their food to cost only RM4.90. The menu rotates daily offering different types of dishes every day.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMydinMalaysia%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02NkoCUf1o4BgUtKHWrSX7eWdCZtL7A9Z8DV2GWQQVABmqtDujFYK1PWt7FKqUcpFdl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="735" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Ever since the announcement, netizens had praised the company as they have been helping many Malaysians in the country since the pandemic happened.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/edeffdf9f1eb97452bd51fd137757b5a571edfb3266fda43e1533d7edca6baf3" />
2023 is looking good so far! Hopefully, initiatives like this keep up and with the leadership of our new Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, perhaps he can help shed light and solve or even reduce the inflation issue in the country.

A Sigh Of Relief For B40 M’sians As 15,000 Eateries To Offer RM5 Menu Rahmah Meals 

A trend in thrifting has emerged. Pre-owned clothes are receiving a second chance from more and more people, and for good reason. In addition to finding fantastic pieces at prices that seem too good to be true, buying used clothes also prevents the disposal of still-usable clothing. Who doesn't enjoy a good find at a thrift store?&nbsp;
In order to lessen the environmental impact of fast fashion, thrifting or "slow fashion shopping" is being advocated. Many people are unaware that before visiting your first thrift store, you need to pick up a few tips in order to begin thrifting. It's not as easy as choosing your clothes on the rack at Cotton On, H&amp;M, or Zara.
Thrifting is unique in that the selection of clothing is typically very small, so you need to have a sharp eye to find decent items. We're here to impart your knowledge on how to handle your upcoming thrift store shopping trip like a champ.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.gifer.com/AzqE.gif" alt="Thrift GIFs - Get the best gif on GIFER" width="444" height="220" />
Be cautious if you're new to the art of thrift shopping: looking through pre-loved items can be daunting and exhausting. But when you got the stuff you want at a very good price, it&rsquo;s somehow rewarding! The feeling is just immaculate; happy, proud, exhausted, but addicting!&nbsp;
Let us tell you something. When you thrift, you can&rsquo;t just take as many items as you want whether you need them or not just because the prices are affordable. Here are some tips we would give to you as your Thrifting Starter-Packs!&nbsp;
Find Your Designated Stores And Items!&nbsp;
The first thing you need to consider before starting thrifting is which store you want to go to and what items you want to buy. Why? Because every store has its own special items and styles they are offering to the people. For example here in the Klang Valley area, there are several thrift stores you can consider looking at such as 'Shimokita Space' in SS15 and 'JBR Bundle' in Subang Jaya, Sri Damansara, and Shah Alam which is their biggest outlet.

 Both of them are multi-outlet so you can find them easily in areas like SS15, Subang, and Shah Alam. 'Shimokita Space' offers you the Japan-vintage aesthetic vibes from the foods they sell, the interior, and their stuff is usually a bit more pricey due to the quality and condition of the products. Meanwhile, JBR Bundle sells literally EVERYTHING even Typewriters, large wardrobes, and bicycles. Usually, the price will start below RM10 until hundreds or even thousands of Ringgit, depending on the items you want to buy. So it&rsquo;s a good start if you know what are you looking for, your price range and your sizes!&nbsp;
Check and Re-Check!&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/Ib0bV7GnRE2EXnQb1f/giphy.gif" alt="Doublecheck GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" width="450" height="253" />
Speaking about sizes and price ranges, it&rsquo;s also vital for you to know your size for different items (especially clothes or footwear) even before you go thrifting because it will help you a lot! So when you come to the stores and you&rsquo;re already fixed with the stuff you are interested in, you can try and take a conclusion about whether you want to take them or not. Also, don&rsquo;t be afraid to try especially if you&rsquo;re looking for attires, because some thrift shops provide mirrors and fitting rooms for you to try and firm yourself whether you want to take the items are not, so it won&rsquo;t be another pile of garbage in your room if you ended up not wearing them. Other people&rsquo;s opinion is also important, so it&rsquo;ll be better if you go thrifting with your friends or people that match your vibe so that they can help you decide.&nbsp;
A Big No For Impulsive Buying
<img src="https://media2.giphy.com/media/3ohhwFxJ6Nfifw6ovK/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611b1e06c31d402a5de2945ac4f250b64653d90a621&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Black Friday Shopping GIF by Wheel of Fortune - Find &amp; Share on GIPHY" width="444" height="222" />
Last but not least, never, EVER buy items on a whim as you could quickly regret it. Simply because you find a cute item doesn't guarantee it's worthwhile to purchase. The last thing you want to discover when you go home and go through your donated items is that the clothing completely lacks your sense of style. One last thing, the price range is also important, so you can get a profit from the items at very cheap prices! Even if you can, you can bargain the prices with the owners or when you&rsquo;re visiting booths. (Psst, some thrift stores do sell items at a very high price so check the prices before you pay at the cashier!)&nbsp;
The point of thrifting is to buy the things you need at reasonable prices so that you don&rsquo;t have to spend more on a single item, and to help save the planet, not only helping the owners to get more income. It's also crucial to remember that purchasing more clothing than you actually need hurts you more than you might imagine.&nbsp;
Last but not least, have fun strolling around the store and happy thrifting!&nbsp;

Wanna Go Thrifting? Here's Some Tips & Tricks

Crypto can be pretty complicated especially when it comes to someone who&rsquo;s trying it out for the first time. Most of the time we question ourselves looking at the charts saying &ldquo;ok, what do I do now?&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e52ddddef28ed0992951c96de8ec032f0467db8bccf5d9de537006c7db3038b3" />
But for many of those who do follow crypto, you&rsquo;ll know that there are companies out there that assist in exchanging cryptocurrencies around the world. Unfortunately, it looks like one of the major cryptocurrency exchange companies, Binance, has just endured a momentous drop in assets over the past two months.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/08162f15c0fe3f42a4a790c8f4691ba53f807b8d5b2d7595c594f028723b2de1" />
Binance was founded by Changpeng Zhao or more commonly known as &ldquo;CZ&rdquo;. Over the years, the company has grown rapidly and has solidified itself as the world&rsquo;s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume as of July 2022.
Unfortunately, it looks like dark days are to come for Binance as they have lost a total of 15% of its assets which is equivalent to around $12 Billion since November 2022. Despite CZ's repeated attempts of telling the public that the situation has stabilised, outflows have continued to pile up.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Things seem to have stabilized. Yesterday was not the highest withdrawals we processed, not even top 5. We processed more during LUNA or FTX crashes. Now deposits are coming back in. 🤷&zwj;♂️💪 <a href="https://t.co/WLK2KyCym0">https://t.co/WLK2KyCym0</a>
&mdash; CZ 🔶 Binance (@cz_binance) <a href="https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1602881018029015042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 14, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Aside from the massive outflows, Forbes reported that the discrepancy between reports of Binance&rsquo;s holdings is troubling. According to analysts at Forbes, they assume that there are signs of foul play within the exchange with gaps of several billion dollars showing in Binance&rsquo;s wallets.
Forbes also reported that other crypto exchanges such as MaskEX were one of the few companies that experienced bigger losses during the past 30 days versus the 23 other rival companies Binance has.
What&rsquo;s Happening In The Market?
The current discrepancy is due to users having trust issues in regard to how Binance had positioned itself in the market.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/sjFOOpnRf0AAAAAC/i-dont-trust-you-trust.gif" />
In early December, Binance&rsquo;s data showed a loss of $3 Billion worth of assets in a week. A total of 4% of its total asset balance was withdrawn and it sent the market into a frenzy. Fast forwarding to today, Forbes reported that the exchange has lost up to 15% of its assets and that BNB, its native token, has halved in value.
It was noted that the MATIC, APE and GALA balances on the exchange had dropped by 40-50% and that the number of BUSD stablecoins that were sitting on the exchange had also decreased by 40%.&nbsp;
CoinMarketCap states that Binance&rsquo;s assets are equivalent to 31% of their total assets which had sat in BNB since 4 Jan 2023. Forbes believes that the 58 million BNB tokens that Binance claims to have is a &ldquo;questionable&rdquo; number in comparison to their <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/blog/community/our-commitment-to-transparency-2895840147147652626">transparency report </a>that was released in November 2022.&nbsp;
Forbes&rsquo; own analysis who used the Etherscan tool states that there are only 16 Million BNB tokens publicly available on the exchange which is significantly less than Nansen, DefiLlama and Arkham which claimed that 22-40 million tokens are currently available on the exchange.
If this keeps up, Binance could face devastating consequences for both digital assets and the participants in the market. The exchange could also face more scrutiny following the collapse of FTX.
Speaking Of FTX, What Had Happened To Them?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/afcbd9a1e54b351c70824d6ad397e0224613d683afa617f2fef38b7512f813e6" />
FTX is another trading platform which was founded in 2018 by Sam Bankman-Fried. The company had their own native token called the FTX Token (FTT).
On 6 November, Binance announced that they were selling all their FTT tokens which were valued at $529 million with CZ stating that the decision to liquidate the exchange was based on risk management following the collapse of the Terra (LUNA). On the following day, FTX experienced a liquidity crisis but customers demanded withdrawals worth $6 billion following a report by CoinDesk. As Bankman-Fried tried to search for additional money, by the time he turned to Binance for assistance, the value of FTT had fallen more than 80% in two days.
Binance was supposed to help bail out FTX but had cancelled due to concerns about the mishandling of customer funds and other issues. All of FTX&rsquo;s assets were then frozen and Bankman-Fried issued an apology for the liquidity crisis that FTX was facing. 
You Can Read His Full Tweet Thread Apology Below:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
2) Our teams are working on clearing out the withdrawal backlog as is. This will clear out liquidity crunches; all assets will be covered 1:1. This is one of the main reasons we&rsquo;ve asked Binance to come in. It may take a bit to settle etc. -- we apologize for that.
&mdash; SBF (@SBF_FTX) <a href="https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1590012126701441025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 8, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Unfortunately on 11 November 2022, FTX filed for <a href="https://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-basics/chapter-11-bankruptcy-basics">Chapter 11 bankruptcy</a> protection after a surge of customer withdrawals had happened as the company did not have sufficient assets in reserve to meet their demands. They also allegedly said that they were a victim of &ldquo;unauthorised transactions&rdquo; and had moved their digital assets to cold storage.
Bankman-Fried was held in custody since 12 December 2022 and had pleaded not guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges in the US Justice Department&rsquo;s criminal case against him on 3 January 2023.&nbsp;
Take Away By Investors
With the steady pace of the sharp drop, it&rsquo;s clear that a growing number of Binance investors are now leaving or even reducing their exposure to the exchange. At the bottom line, Binance is getting close to a precipice where a soft run on the bank may intensify its own inertia.

Binance Bleeds $12 Billion Worth Of Assets In Less Than 60 Days

One of the world's most famous or perhaps infamous icons in the world has just lost his title as the world's richest man to&nbsp;Bernard Arnault who is the owner of Louis Vuitton (LV).&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cafefcdn.com/zoom/600_315/203337114487263232/2022/6/7/photo1654570372702-1654570372804848058157.jpg" alt="Elon Musk doạ huỷ thoả thuận 44 tỷ USD mua lại Twitter, liệu thương vụ c&oacute; đổ bể?" width="497" height="261" />Image by CafeF
Elon Musk has supposedly lost almost USD182 billion (~RM795 billion) since November 2021, according to a Guinness World Records press release, but some other reports claim that it could possibly go up to USD200 billion (~RM874 billion).
As of January 2023, Musk's net worth was USD138 billion (~RM603 billion), a considerable decrease from his USD320 billion (~RM1.3 trillion) net worth in 2021.
The majority of Elon's income is connected to Tesla, whose stocks fell 65% in 2022. This is probably one of the reasons why he lost his title as the richest man in the world.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/05/Tesla-Logo-Hero.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Tesla: Current and upcoming models, prices, specs, and more | Electrek" width="441" height="221" />Image by Electrek
Since Musk's initial bid for Twitter in April 2022, Tesla has somehow seen its market value drop by more than 50%.
The day before Twitter reported in a regulatory filing that the billionaire had launched a hostile bid worth $43.4bn, shares of Tesla were trading at $340.79 (~RM 1488,40). The price of a Tesla share has dropped more than 50% since then, and it is currently trading at roughly $160 (~RM 698,80).&nbsp;
Despite this, Tesla continues to be the most valuable automaker in the world, outpacing Toyota in terms of market worth by USD100 billion (~RM437 billion).
With a net worth of USD 196.5 billion (~RM859 billion), Bernard Arnault, the head of the French firm that owns Louis Vuitton, currently holds the title of the richest person in the world.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/5db9aaa7b4d5050006787ad2/hero-Bernard-Arnault-LVMH--perfumes-by-Jamel-Toppin/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&amp;crop=3474,1867,x0,y0,safe&amp;height=1867&amp;width=3474" alt="The $100 Billion Man: How Bernard Arnault Stitched Together The World's Third Biggest Fortune With Louis Vuitton, Dior And 77 Other Brands&mdash;And Why He's Not Done Yet" width="385" height="207" />Image by Forbes&nbsp;
Due to share price changes, Arnault momentarily surpassed Musk last week before the Tesla CEO reclaimed the top spot. Since April 2022, Musk has sold approximately $20 billion (~RM 87,350 million) worth of Tesla stock to pay for his acquisition of Twitter.
Tesla's stock price has been under pressure in part because of the company's underwhelming quarterly results and worries about potential disruptions at one of its factories in Shanghai.
Investors are concerned that Musk may get preoccupied with his other endeavours, such as controlling Twitter and SpaceX. In addition, he frequently draws flak for some of the contentious tweets he sends to his 125.4 million followers.
With this being said, right now Musk is placed as the second richest man in the world and it looks like he may not get back his #1 spot any time soon.

Elon Musk Sets A World Record After Losing The #1 Spot For The Richest Man In The World!

If you are living in Malaysia you would be aware that most wages are given at the bare minimum regarding the academic background you are from. This is really frustrating for most Malaysians as the cost of living is increasing day by day. For example, one roti canai cost around RM 3.20 a piece at certain places. Crazy right? Do people think money grows on trees? Maybe it's time to rob a bank... just kidding, please don't do this!
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/BtHklZ5zzAwAAAAM/bag-robbery.gif" alt="Robbing Bank GIFs | Tenor" />
But wouldn't it be great if we could earn our 1 month salary in a few days? Many would think it is impossible to do that unless you own a business right? Well here is a story about a delivery rider who earned RM2,800 in 2 days. Delivery drivers are usually looked at as an unprestigious job and how could one&nbsp; earn as much as those in the corporate world. If you put in the hard work nothing is impossible.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/Rlo-1wvJ_BgAAAAM/cat-work.gif" alt="Hardworking GIFs | Tenor" />
Check Out How This Driver Made RM2,800 In 2 Days!
A Facebook user going by the name Billy Cane published a message on his profile last Wednesday, December 14, and it has since gained a lot of attention from both Malaysians and Singaporeans.
Cane, a Malaysian who works as a food delivery rider in Singapore, had revealed his earnings after friends frequently ask him how much money he makes as a delivery rider. He shared it with everyone on Facebook. 
&ldquo; I made SGD856.32 (~RM2,810.50) during the course of two days. This amounts to SGD432.50 (~RM1,419.49) on average every day," he said.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://images.summitmedia-digital.com/yummyph/images/2021/05/28/grabkitchen-foodpanda-extra-mile-delivery.jpg" alt="foodpanda Now Offers Extra Mile Delivery and GrabKitchen Opens in Para&ntilde;aque and Malate" width="295" height="166" />
Cane also attached an image of his revenue made over the past 2 days as well.&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://images.says.com/uploads/story_source/source_image/1091163/7aa5.jpg" alt="Image from Billy Cane (Facebook)" width="225" height="449" />
Cane revealed that he received SGD580.31 (~RM1,904.61) for the 70 orders he finished on December 10 and 11, as well as SGD118 (~RM387.28) in bonuses for finishing 60 orders. 
"Although working as a food delivery rider is frequently considered a low-paying job, you actually get paid for your efforts. Being a food delivery rider is a part-time profession that can feed your stomach and boost your income if you are unemployed or in need of money." 
Challenges Of Being A Delivery Driver
Cane expresses that being a food delivery driver is a difficult job. It frequently involves carrying bulky bags of rice, and occasionally 10 to 20 bottles of 1.5-litre mineral water are also necessary, he wrote in the post. He related a time when the elevator systems broke and he had to climb more than 10 levels of an apartment building. He has also been known to walk between 300KM and 400KM a day, which caused his knees to hurt a lot.
When the weather turned dark, problems would worsen and he would be left completely drenching by the rain and it hampers his delivery service. He occasionally receives favors from staff members at the restaurants he pick up the food from, as well as from patrons when their calendar is overly full. This is why he stressed about why this job is not for everyone as there are certain aspects to the job which are not very pleasing. The sum of money that he earns is all out of hard work.&nbsp;
For example, on December 11 when he worked for 12 hours straight to finish 36 orders. Cane demonstrated the endurance required for a job well done.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://images.says.com/uploads/story_source/source_image/1091167/6dc7.jpeg" alt="Timestamp of Cane's working hours on 11 December." width="196" height="425" />

Delivery Rider Makes Our Basic Salary In 2 Days, How Is That Possible? 

Many of us from all over the world know that money is important. With the current economy in most countries, many of us are pretty much suffering as the cost of good are rising due to inflation.
But for many of those who are on the constant grind to get more money, you sometimes come across suspicious ads stating jobs overseas which could lead to you being human trafficked. Some even try to convince you to join in their business ventures which could lead to some losing more money than they already are.
However, there are other ways of earning money and lately, we&rsquo;ve been seeing many ads about Forex.
What Is Forex?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fbb1f27820ddbc964c32372a9e5c1abe75e504ec8aacb86ed8c0225e50912ac5" />
&nbsp;
Forex is the process of speculating on currency prices to potentially make a profit. They are typically traded in pairs and by trading one another, a trader is typically speculating on which one of the currencies will be on the rise or will fall in value against one another.
Sounds simple enough right?
Well, the trading business ain&rsquo;t all fun and games. Seeing ads about it everywhere from YouTube videos to even advertisements which feature celebrities. Many are suspicious about how can one be so &ldquo;successful&rdquo; from Forex and live the life on luxury from doing this job alone.
Too all &ldquo;successful&rdquo; business or practices, there are also the dark sides of it.
TikTok user @tomqurus had took to the social media platform to show netizens the dark side of Forex by showing a video of a man claiming that certain influencers are not as what many of us think.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@tomqurus/video/7168439473456418074" data-video-id="7168439473456418074">

Of course, he did not expose the name of the said individual but the man in the video claims that those who are &lsquo;trade&rsquo; influencers don&rsquo;t actually achieve their wealth as its generally sponsored by someone who&rsquo;s dubbed as &ldquo;The Founder&rdquo;.
So, for all the things that you see as the big houses, luxurious houses and even the lavish lifestyle, it&rsquo;s all there for show. Even the flexible working hours are only mentioned to rope people into the trading business. These are the stages of people typically involved in the operation;
1) The Funder Someone who would typically have a lot of money in their account.
2) The Introducing Broker Individuals who solicits or accepts orders to buy or sell future contracts or even commodity options. Typically, they are those who have many followers and know how to market themselves out or a product.
The man in the video also explains that &ldquo;The Funder&rdquo; would never show his face and come up front and they are those who would rent out the houses and all the supercars driven by these people. Typically, they will have a quota to reach 500-1000 sign ups a week from the marketing done off Instagram and TikTok and if they don&rsquo;t reach their quota, they will pull back house, car and everything else and toss it to the next person.
It's easy to understand that in Forex, the more people/ fans who register under an influencers name, the more the income is generated for an individual. In the end of the video, the man had warned everyone to not fall for this scheme just cause others are living a luxurious lifestyle thanks to it.

He argued that &ldquo;The Founder&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Broker&rdquo; is essentially the same as the agent and product founder as the wealth that he (Aisar) shows is all he has due to his hard work. He also says that there&rsquo;s no such &ldquo;sponsorship&rdquo; as mentioned by the man in the previous video.
Due to this, netizens had been divided with their own opinions as they won&rsquo;t know which side of the story to properly trust. Others have voiced out their experience in the trading business where they too say that they no longer participate in it. However, they did share that some of these &ldquo;founders&rdquo; and &ldquo;brokers&rdquo; in fact do not have any ill intentions to them.

I short, yes, it is allowed. In fact, Forex Malaysia&rsquo;s official website states that the business is legal but &ldquo;brokers&rdquo; may operate illegally as they may not own a license or is not registered by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SCM).
Meanwhile, joining the trading business is actually considered haram in Malaysia by the <a href="https://muftiwp.gov.my/artikel/irsyad-fatwa/irsyad-fatwa-umum/5160-irsyad-fatwa-siri-ke-675-hukum-trading-forex-untuk-tujuan-bersedekah">Federal Territory</a> and <a href="https://muftiperlis.gov.my/index.php/himpunan-fatwa-negeri/119-hukum-forex-trading-online">Perlis</a> Mufti.
Well, we&rsquo;ll leave it to ya&rsquo;ll to decide if this is a good idea for making money. Regardless, we don&rsquo;t condone of any illegal activities and all this should be at a user&rsquo;s risk.
