With the pandemic making us stuck at home, I&rsquo;m pretty sure some of you may have actually invested into Bitcoin. But did you know that there&rsquo;s a country that accepts Bitcoin as a legal tender?
Yep, I kid you not, you&rsquo;re allowed to pay for your goods using Bitcoin. A small nation called El Salvador in Central America has accepted cryptocurrency as a form of payment.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631162659/unsigned/ifar546cleibbtw3riii.png" alt="" width="500" height=" " /> For those curious on where El Salvador is, it&rsquo;s located just above Costa Rica
&nbsp;
A tweet went viral as a man had showed that a McDonald&rsquo;s in El Salvador had offered to pay the meal in cryptocurrency!

&nbsp;
Many stores in Latin American countries are starting to move towards adopting cryptocurrency as methods of payment. Meanwhile in El Salvador, the Bitcoin currency launch hasn&rsquo;t really gone smoothly as many have been protesting about the issue which led to a cryptocurrency expert getting arrested by authorities after the initiative had been publicly criticised.
Crypto has been a concerning topic for quite a while now
World Bank has highlighted some concerns and credit rating firm Moody&rsquo;s have downgraded El Salvador&rsquo;s rating after the government had made a move to make Bitcoin a legal tender. The main concern now is that how much Bitcoin had dipped after El Salvador had adopted it. The moment it became legal for tender, 1 BTC went from being USD52,000 to USD43,000. It had later recovered around USD45,989 as of writing this.

&nbsp;
El Salvador&rsquo;s &ldquo;Bitcoin Law&rdquo; was the result of Nayid Bukele who is the 40-year-old president who leads the populist Nuevas Ideas party.

&nbsp;
According to him, the move is supposed to generate jobs and provide more financial inclusions to thousands of Salvadorans, and it is supposed to make it easier for those living abroad to send money back home. He also hopes to see more investment and tourism in the country with the introduction of this.
If you&rsquo;re a Salvadoran, you&rsquo;re in luck as there are plans to receive USD30 in BTC via Chivo Wallet which is an app for crypto. Although there&rsquo;s one issue, it&rsquo;s always facing numerous technical issues ever since the launch of it on Tuesday the 7th of September.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
An apology was tweeted by the president, and he promised to improve the user experience as he calls for feedback from the public. He also announced a temporary suspension of the Chivo Wallet while authorities fix it.

&nbsp;
Bitcoin seems to be a big gamble play for the El Savador economy but let&rsquo;s see how this goes. Do you think it&rsquo;s a good idea to legalise Bitcoin for tender? Let us know in the comments.

Bitcoin Becomes Legal Tender In El Salvador With New “Bitcoin Law”

A world with a beautiful environment is what all of us dream for
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/9aa63dc683f1bb6dead385e6bbea072a/652fc3db44948323-b6/s640x960/36b058148c650f480edc2e3131761c469371555d.gifv" alt="Beautiful-nature and cute-gif &mdash; Beautiful nature gif" width="262" height="183" />
Mother nature fascinates each one of us with her magnificent beauty which just makes our heart skip a beat.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/H6sA-iUDtBAAAAAM/rebirth-mother-nature.gif" alt="Rebirth Mother Nature GIF - Rebirth Mother Nature - Discover &amp; Share GIFs" width="179" height="179" />
But we humans have done so much damage to our environment and now our planet is suffering the consequences of our terrible actions.
Some of the consequences include climate change, monsoon rain and thinning of the ozone layer.&nbsp;
Excessive logging has also taken place excessively and now most forests are just barren land.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AccomplishedRepentantFalcon-size_restricted.gif" alt="Best Logging GIFs | Gfycat" width="270" height="155" />
But you do know by planting a tree you can save your life.&nbsp;
According to a recent study from the United States, living in a neighbourhood with lots of trees may help residents live longer.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/IL4iTvQH0MjS/giphy.gif" alt="Live-long-and-prosper GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" width="227" height="171" />
The advantages of gardening are well established, and research has shown that regular exposure to nature is good for both physical and mental health.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/Hxe4ufauI9V5RQnkYR/200w.gif?cid=6c09b952tqfgg4qfadhev5t3o6vix4rfci0lvcdwhou4k2tt&amp;rid=200w.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Physical-therapy-month GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" />
Similar advantages might apply to a neighbourhood that gains from a long-term "green restoration" approach.
The research suggests that this may even increase local residents' life expectancies, which would have a huge impact.
The study, which was co-led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health and was published in the journal "Environment International," uses scholarly literature to look into the correlations between exposure to nature and a lower mortality rate.
The study is based on the efforts of Friends of Trees, a US non-governmental organisation that between 1990 and 2019 planted 49,246 trees in Portland, Oregon.
The study team looked at how many trees were planted over a period of five, ten, or fifteen years in an area with a population of roughly 4,000.
The findings indicate that mortality rates (deaths per 100,000 persons) were lower in neighbourhoods where more trees had been planted.
Their research revealed that each tree planted was linked to a considerable decrease in non-accidental and cardiovascular mortality (by 20% and 6%, respectively), especially among men and people over 65.
According to Geoffrey H Donovan of the USDA Forest Service, who is also the study's first author, "We noticed the effect both in green and less green areas, which shows that planting street trees improves both."
&nbsp;Here are other advantages of planting trees
(1)Air Purification
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/air-purifier-1585667299.gif" alt="Do Air Purifiers Actually Help to Nix Coronavirus | Your 101" width="319" height="160" />
Have you ever experienced "cleaner air" in a forest or by the ocean? You were correct, though, as it is commonly known that trees do clean the air. Pollutant gases like nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia, and sulphur dioxide are all absorbed by them. Additionally, trees absorb smells and serve as filters because little particles are caught in their leaves. 18 individuals can get enough oxygen each year from one acre of mature trees.
(2)Making The Streets Cool
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTvrLcYL1Kr7_m3MMwF3A9Xl65qpzMwdsMYcQ&amp;usqp=CAU" alt="Keys to shared streets by John Massengale | CNU" />
We hear the alarming news about global warming every year. For instance, the global average temperature increased by 1.4 F, and the average temperature in Los Angeles increased by 6 F in 50 years. As the amount of trees decreases, this occurs. Cities become significantly warmer when trees are cut down and heat-absorbing asphalt roads and structures take their place. By providing shade and releasing water, trees are reducing city temperatures by up to 10 F.
(3)Aiming To Reduce Water Pollution
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/c2a4a5124da434413ffcd1b3c06f764038691e203907c8143b8fd8d8e240bf8e" alt="Water Pollution Animation GIFs | Tenor" />
Nitrogen and phosphorus contaminants can also be found in stormwater. Without trees, runoff enters the ocean and other bodies of water unfiltered. Rainfall is broken up by trees, allowing water to sink into the soil and enter the earth. As a result, they stop run off from damaging the ocean. Green infrastructure, such as a green roof, can mitigate the effects of stormwater in places where trees cannot.
&nbsp;(4)Control Of Erosion
&nbsp;<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/_u6ZSnZhbjYAAAAd/soil-dig.gif" alt="Soil Erosion Animation GIFs | Tenor" width="300" height="169" />
The two main erosive agents that harm exposed soil are rain and wind. Raindrops gain strength and momentum as they fall from great heights, and once they hit the ground, they have enough force to pierce the soil. On the other hand, if the land is completely dried out, wind can cause serious harm. Tree roots hold the soil together and shield it from the effects of wind, whereas trees break raindrops and reduce their strength.
(5)Reducing Global Warming
&nbsp;<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/l0HlMURBbyUqF0XQI/200w.gif?cid=6c09b952eazxo4unvmr74p28czfyxevxmmxc5coygshc4oxq&amp;rid=200w.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Climate-change GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" />
If there is anything that people excel at, it is adding too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The world's biggest issue right now, climate change, is a result of harmful CO2. However, trees assist in battling it. They take CO2 from the air and absorb it, storing it while releasing oxygen. An acre of trees can remove as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year as driving your car 26,000 miles. Our primary means of survival is through trees; just one tree can provide four people with enough oxygen.
In conclusion, planting has great benefits to the environment so we need continue this habit so we can save mother nature from dying.
Our planet is our responsibility and we should be responsible!
If not us then who?
Here is a poem about climate change
As humans we are often judged and told to act a certain way People expect to change our behaviour and always obey This gives us pressure and we often shy ourself away The main change which needs to be solved is climate change because is worsening everyday
Change in temperature cause rainfall Excessive rain causes floods, our home for a few days was the community hall Our ignorance towards earth is our main fault The planet's safety is agenda we should campaign for
Climate change also causes loss of species Younger generation would not be able to see these Humans cutting down their home and their hope was only trees Everyone just brushes out the fact the species without knowing level of importance is in a high degree
Since the temperature rises, the artic ocean losses its freeze This causes the increase in ocean level and change in sea breeze The earth's temperature is the important key&nbsp; Any slight change, soon there will be nothing left on earth to seize
Some solution can help with this problem We can restore nature to absorb more carbon Switch to sustainable or public transport more often This can make the effect of climate change soften
We should all take responsibility to combat climate change to protect mother nature We should not let the thinning of the ozone happen layer by layer Small steps to care for the environment can return in your favour Let us all not destroy our earth the greatest gift by our creator and lets protect our planet's peace in our prayer.

Plant A Tree It Could Increase Your Lifespan

Everyone loves new music and meeting their favourite celebrities!
But if there&rsquo;s one other thing we love aside from meeting celebrities, it&rsquo;s also to spread the word of women empowerment.
In collaboration with Universal Music Malaysia, the students at UiTM Puncak Perdana had a treat as they managed to meet Diana Danielle and The Gadys!
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3b3d40d786aa896c924f4b3e674609e6f1fa3be0a6d3c41ff664bc0f404a2619" />
&nbsp;
If you don&rsquo;t know who Diana Danielle is, she&rsquo;s an American-born Malaysian actress and singer. She is one of few people who had started their careers at a young age. When we say young, she started out at the age of 11!
As for The Gadys, they consist of four young beautiful women and consist of four members, Aznie Azmi, Ayudie Rizal, Nelissa Nizam and Faa Zaini (who could not attend the event). They started their career with the release of their single Gadys Raya which was released in conjunction of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. They later got even more popular after the release of their song Gelak Jambu which is described as a &ldquo;fun, cheeky and mess&rdquo; which describes the group as a whole.
Let&rsquo;s Check Out Their Visit Recap! 
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I2OUPHz61TI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
During the event, Diana had sang her single &lsquo;Shine On&rsquo; which has an anthem of empowerment. It also delivers the message of overcoming doubt and negativity which came from personal experiences of Diana when growing up.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-SpNG11k1as" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
As for The Gadys, they performed their song &lsquo;Gelek Jambu&rsquo; which a combination of elements of reggaeton, rock and traditional. They say that the song is unique, fresh and suitable to suit the current music market especially with those on TikTok which due to how many dance trends there are there.
Diana shares that for those out there struggling, the first step is to always feel better about yourself. It doesn&rsquo;t matter if friends give us as much advice but If we don&rsquo;t believe in ourselves, we won&rsquo;t be able to change anything. The only way to change is by our own will power as we all have a choice whether to be strong or lose. &ldquo;Make yourself proud and make your family proud. Make yourself proud first then you can make other people proud,&rdquo; said Diana.
The Gadys had also said no matter how toxic someone can be, all that matters is that we should have fun with friends we love. &ldquo;Get your close friends and just &lsquo;goyang-goyang&rsquo; until the next morning!&rdquo;
On a fun note, most of us Malays know the term &ldquo;membawang&rdquo; (gossiping) which commonly happens and to relate it to &lsquo;Gelek Jambu&rsquo;, we should just not care and shake it all off and continue having fun!

Diana Danielle & The Gadys Drops By UiTM Puncak Perdana!

We are now living in a society where our life depends on social media and we are always hooked to our phones.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/vkIJex1t5xkAAAAM/texting-while-drinking-jayden.gif" alt="Phone Addict GIFs | Tenor" />
Social media has taken over our life in terms of validation. We are so obsessed with views, likes and shares. The higher the likes we get the more validated we are.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/nd9HcVuTnkUAAAAC/iwantattention-anime.gif" alt="I Want Attention GIF - Iwantattention Anime Clingy - Discover &amp; Share GIFs" width="278" height="156" />
This is actually unhealthy as we are placing our self-worth on the number of followers and fans that we have on social media.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/jQmn1Dkw55R3cjm3eC/200w.gif?cid=6c09b9525mcsejoq5e69jptxn106jyvwadw12thopdgq82tm&amp;rid=200w.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Like-social-media GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" />
This scenario actually kills self-esteem and we tend to lose our identity. We are constantly trying to be someone else so we could be loved on social media. But social media does bring you places for example we could see how viral videos could change someone&rsquo;s life.
For example,
Malaysians are going gaga over a moment from the South Korean movie In 2019, Jazzy Misfits which had a breakthrough in Malaysia due to&nbsp;the appearance of producer and artist DJ SP3CK, who is Malaysian by birth.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.tenor.com/hrbTWUWc990AAAAC/kermit-freaking-out.gif" alt="Kermit Freaking Out GIF - Kermit Freaking Out Excited - Discover &amp; Share GIFs" width="278" height="185" />
DJ SP3CK is part of a duo called SAM&amp;SP3CKand is currently based in South Korea. They are signed under Natural High Record, a record label owned by one of Big Bang&rsquo;s members, Seungri. This was reported by The Seoul Story.
Three years after the movie's release, TikTok user Loca-Cola shared a 1 minute and 24 second scene from it and it quickly went viral in Malaysia.
<div id="mm-story-outstream" data-google-query-id="CIDLno6v2vsCFRtBnQkd93gIvQ"></div>
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/kAFpVq7ZzFYAAAAM/im-viral-will-davis.gif" alt="Viral GIFs | Tenor" />
The story of the movie revolves around a mother and daughter's searching for youngest one in the family who had embezzled the family's funds.

The mother, portrayed by actress Jo Min-Su in the viral video, was first met by a shirtless DJ SP3CK after frantically "knocking" on a door.
The mother tries to enter SP3CK's house because she believes he is harbouring her daughter there but it is stopped by SP3CK, who then curses at her in Bahasa Malaysia.
"Mak Cik, Mak Cik, why are you creating such noise this early in the morning?" shouts SP3CK, who is present at the scene. B**i betul lah, oh my!
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/fUYhyT9IjftxrxJXcE/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b9520fd5b387e8b16e5c35166ddc6e9efa64594551de&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Happy Cracking Up GIF by MOODMAN - Find &amp; Share on GIPHY" width="278" height="227" />
The mother apologised to SP3CK after realising she had knocked the wrong house.
More than one million people have seen the TikTok video, and the video has gained more than&nbsp; 100,000 likes and comments.

Social media users have also spotted equating Malaysian actress Kathy Azean, who is well-known for playing the bad guy in regional dramas, with Jo Min-Su.
In Jazzy Misfits, which was also Cheetah's acting debut, Jung Man-Sik, Choi Ji-Su, and the South Korean rapper all appear.
Here Are Some K- Drama Actors Who Were From Malaysia
(1)Tang Jun Sang, a K-drama actor, is half-Malaysian
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://6.viki.io/image/8179957f800a414e8a5840c8b7521e60/dummy.jpeg?s=900x600&amp;e=t" width="266" height="177" />
He appeared in Move To Heaven and Crash Landing On You, which you might recall. Few people may be aware that Tang Jun Sang, a star of Korean dramas, is actually part Malaysian. The celebrity told Korean media that his mother is a South Korean native born into a multi-cultural family while his father is a Malaysian-Chinese. The popular K-drama series Crash Landing On You is where the 17-year-old actor first came to public recognition. Later, he played the lead role in the K-dramas Move to Heaven and Racket Boys.
(2)Malaysian IN2IT K-pop artist Isaac Voo
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://iluminasi.com/img/upload/isaac-voo-malaysia-kpop-posing-comel.jpg" alt="isaac voo malaysia kpop posing comel" width="282" height="211" />
K-pop idol Isaac Voo debuted as part of six-member (originally eight) South Korean boy band, <a href="https://says.com/my/entertainment/in2it-covers-gemilang-by-jaclyn-victor">IN2IT</a>. The 27-year-old is actually from Sabah, making him the first Malaysian K-pop idol! He started by joining a K-pop dance competition, which eventually led him to represent Malaysia on a larger scale, against other countries in South Korea. During this time, he decided to stay on to pursue his dreams of becoming a K-pop star.
(3)K-pop star Han Ji-sung, a member of the Stray Kids, grew up in Ampang for a while.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://akcdn.detik.net.id/visual/2020/09/14/han-stray-kids-han-ji-sung-2_169.png?w=650" alt="Han Ji-sung, rapper dan personel Stray Kids berulang tahun ke-20 pada Senin (14/9) dan dirayakan para fan di media sosial." width="329" height="185" />
When he was eight or nine years old, Han Ji-sung of the K-pop boy band Stray Kids made his first trip to Malaysia with his family. He spent his entire six-year residence in Ampang, where he attended Fairview International School. His parents reportedly pushed him to enrol in a college in Malaysia, according to many biographies. He made a deal with them that if he wasn't signed by a talent agency in South Korea within a year, he would return to Malaysia to continue his studies because he wanted to be a singer. Fortunately, he was able to get a job with JYP Entertainment as a trainee, and three years later he started to sing and rap.
It is interesting to see how far our fellow Malaysians have some in the K-Drama industry and we should give them our full support.
Social media can bring you to different heights if you use it for the right cause and right intention.
It will definitely get you and your talent noticed one day so to all those who are wanting to have a breakthrough in the entertainment industry. Just keep on creating great and quality content.
You never know, one of your videos could go viral in the next three years or even in the nearest future.&nbsp;
Just be hopeful!

K-Pop Producer From Malaysia Goes Viral For His Cameo After 3 Years!

Menstruation is a natural process that all women go through. For the young women out there no need to worry about this process, it is just a part of growing up and hitting puberty.

It's crucial to talk to girls early on to ensure they are prepared because although periods can begin as early as age 8, they often don't until they are about 12 years old.

For those men and young women who are unaware about menstruation here are some facts that you should know.&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/kBVRex1V7YLps9aqOB/200w.gif?cid=82a1493b06s4rh97hwp75bvunl37p97aziqvwdsf27ot2zop&amp;rid=200w.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Trust Me Truth GIF by adobetrisha - Find &amp; Share on GIPHY" />
Menstruation is the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue via the vagina from the inner lining of the uterus. It is also referred to as a period and by other colloquial names. Hormone fluctuations that occur during the menstrual cycle are distinctive. Falling progesterone levels cause menstruation, which is a sign that pregnancy has not yet happened.
In about more than 80% of cases, neither the period itself nor the days before it cause issues severe enough to interfere with daily life. Premenstrual syndrome refers to symptoms before menstruation that do interfere with daily life (PMS). 3-8% of women who have PMS endure severe symptoms and it affect 20-30% of women.&nbsp; These include mood swings, anger, bloating, fatigue, and painful breasts. Other signs and symptoms experienced by some women include painful periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, and unusual bleeding at any time during the menstrual cycle. When periods do not start by the age of 15 or have not started again in 90 days, this condition is referred to as amenorrhea.&nbsp;
Sounds painful right? This is why you should never mess with a woman when she is on her period. Lol!

Some girls may also be confused on whether to use pads or tampons?
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/xTeV7uMaW2bRBu15cc/200w.gif?cid=6c09b95207br5deqg7g4ypkccq3ucq7pp85h08y2qad0p59f&amp;rid=200w.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Confused-spongebob GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" width="212" height="159" />
Actually the answer to that question, it is actually up to you. If your period has just started it is advised to use pads as tampons can be a little uncomfortable at first.
It will actually take a while to see which product suits you best.
Speaking of pads, Selangor is now the first state to provide free sanitary pads to the public as they seek to tackle period poverty.

Juwairiya Zulkifli, a Bukit Melawati assemblyperson, claimed that although the problem is not new, many are choosing not to discuss it further due to societal stigma.
Juwairiya believes that this action will not only benefit the receivers but it will help us voice up to the period poverty issue that we fail to address
&ldquo;Among the groups at risk of facing such a situation are women in rural areas, the urban poor, and the extreme poor.&rdquo; she emphasises
In addition, she noted that the lack of sanitary pads might restrict female students' participation in academic activities, which would impair learning.
One of the factors that contribute to dropouts is a student's decision not to attend class. Since they lack a period kit this may hinder daily activities for female students.
According to Juwairiya, a number of other nations have also introduced programmes like these. One such nation is South Korea, which has provided free sanitary towels in all public spaces since 2018. Scotland will follow in 2020, according to <a href="https://selangorkini.my/2022/11/wakil-rakyat-selangor-negeri-pertama-laksana-pemberian-tuala-wanita-percuma/">Selangor Kini.</a>
To combat menstruation poverty in Selangor, she also hopes that this programme can continue in the upcoming year with a larger budget. The funding is part of the RM2.45 billion state budget for 2023 that the&nbsp; Selangor Head State Of Governments, Amirudin Shari presented last week.

Selangor Overcomes Period Poverty By Giving Free Sanitary Pads!

Are you a fan of art?
Typically, when you go overseas, we tend to visit art galleries which feature some of the best paintings of the past such as the Monalisa by Leonardo da Vinci, The Girl With A Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer and The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo.

But if there&rsquo;s one exhibit that many of us would like to go, it&rsquo;s the Van Gogh Alive exhibition and we got good news! After it being held in over 80 cities around the world, the exhibit is now coming to Kuala Lumpur!
The exhibition will take place at Pavilion Bukit Jalil starting 17 December till the 16 of March 2023.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/04a02dcc92817176c079150c45348cc4e2557a8d852a34b4feb6b5a90a7f0879" />
&nbsp;
The exhibition has been one of the most talked about exhibitions out there as it features all of Van Gogh&rsquo;s iconic masterpieces such as Sunflower and the iconic The Starry Night. The artwork will be featured in an immersive floor-to-ceiling digital display so visitors can experience the vibrant colours alongside the symphony of sound.

&nbsp;
Discovery Place Inc CEO Catherine Wilson Horn says that visitors will be astonished and drawn to the Van Gogh Alive exhibition. When visiting, at least 3,000 of Van Gogh&rsquo;s work will be projected onto the digital board and it will also be turned into a 3D painting. With that, participants will be able to appreciate the details of Van Gogh&rsquo;s artwork.
The exhibition is one of few exhibitions which is multi-sensory which will allow visitors to experience light, colour, sound and even fragrance.
It is indeed a no ordinary art exhibition as Van Gogh Alive sets aside traditions of tiptoeing through silent galleries and viewing paintings from afar in quiet contemplation.

Van Gogh Alive Exhibition Is Coming To KL!

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">
<section><a title="@tomqurus" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tomqurus?refer=embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@tomqurus</a> Brader ni bongkarkan modus operandi funder/broker forex <a title="forex" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/forex?refer=embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#forex</a> <a title="trading" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/trading?refer=embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#trading</a> <a title="influencer" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/influencer?refer=embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#influencer</a> <a title="♬ original sound - Tom Qurus" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-Tom-Qurus-7168439567689714459?refer=embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">♬ original sound - Tom Qurus</a></section>

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

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.
Influencer Responds To Allegations
In a response to the video, 22-year-old influencer Aisar Khaled who is known for quite a number of controversies had stated that the mans allegations are not true.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@tomqurus/video/7168869708584717595" data-video-id="7168869708584717595">

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.

Are Trading Businesses Allowed In Malaysia?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3011867e8e64d3392f38a32281d689b51b78d4826a298637ee5985b325b42a49" />
&nbsp;
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.

Is Forex Really The Best Way To Make Money?

Many of us who are out and about know that to kick start the day, we sometimes need a nice cup of coffee. Whether it being hot or cold, a cup of coffee can always help wake you up for the day or even keep you energised after mid-day when we feel the food coma kicking in.
But here&rsquo;s the thing, getting coffee nowadays can get pretty costly. Unless you&rsquo;re going to your local kopitiam, Malaysians are now paying RM7 and above for their daily coffee needs and if you&rsquo;re looking for something premium, it could cost you up to RM15 or more too.
Real question though, how many of you have ever calculated how much did you spend on coffee alone in the past month?
Netizen shares how much he spends on coffee alone in a month
Since coffee is an important part of his daily life, Twitter netizen @BaqirNajh had took the initiative to calculate how much does he spend on coffee per month. The results of it had left him shocked at his own expenses as it revealed that he spent RM706 a month on coffee alone.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
First time track monthly coffees spending, tak berani nak total up.🥶 <a href="https://t.co/JtAfTEUk6V">pic.twitter.com/JtAfTEUk6V</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Judging by his list, he purchases at least a cup of coffee every day. If you look closely, there&rsquo;s also the prices of coffee in Singapore Dollars which would assume he had a trip to Singapore and continued on his daily routine there.
When calculating the sum, it shows that he had been spending an average of RM22.77 on coffee per day.
<img src="https://gifdb.com/images/thumbnail/empty-wallet-no-money-unhappy-guy-lqj07kj2c4sxegf3.gif" />
&nbsp;
And just for the fun of it, the different coffee outlets he visited consisted of Artisan Coffee, Starbucks, Dal.Komm, SF Coffee and the most common on the list being Coffea Coffee. Perhaps the coffee there is just that good cause admittingly, that&rsquo;s one of my personal favourite coffee franchises to go to as well😅
Netizens empathize with him
To be fair, he&rsquo;s not the only one out there who spends a lot on coffee as many other netizens too shared their stories on their &ldquo;adventure&rdquo; with coffee. Netizens even shared their own ways to save money and highlighted the importance of tracking their expenditures when it comes to personal finances.
Let&rsquo;s take a look at some of the replies left by netizens:

So, for all the coffee lovers out there, how can we save money on coffee?
<img src="https://barringtonhills-il.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/coffee-gif.gif" />
&nbsp;
For starters, its time for us to start brewing our own coffee. Yea, it may not be as good as the coffee shops but with a little trial and error, you&rsquo;ll be saving up a lot of cash.

If we already spend a good amount on coffee, I guess it&rsquo;s time to get yourself a coffee machine or maybe we should take advantage of discount offers such as those on the airasia Super App where you can get up to 65% off selected merchants between 12pm to 6pm or even enjoy 50% off when ordering at any store!

<h2>Loans To Study The Courses</h2>
The application for the Kojadi education loan is available for those struggling financially to pay for the tuition fees.
&ldquo;They can repay the loans at a 4% interest rate by instalments in three years after completing the course.&rdquo;

<h2>Why Do They Want To Offer Training Programmes?</h2>
Heng believed that vocational training has helped Malaysians in terms of their improvement of skills and achievements in careers.
&ldquo;The vocational training will certainly equip participants with useful skills that can help them survive,&rdquo; she said after launching Wanita MCA&rsquo;s official website at Wisma MCA yesterday.
&ldquo;The courses are open to all who want to upskill and reskill themselves, especially after many people lost their jobs or switched careers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
&ldquo;We have actually started the confinement lady training course five years ago and over 200 people have attended the course so far. Some of them have set up their own confinement centres,&rdquo; she said.
Lincoln University College&rsquo;s Professional Development Academy director Dr Edmund Koh also noticed the positive changes in students&rsquo; lives after their attendances in the university as he said: &ldquo;We have many past students who managed to transform their lives after acquiring the right skills from our institution. This is good for our society and we want to continue doing this,&rdquo;
&nbsp;He added that the courses would begin in January next year.
According to him, participants will be given a professional certificate after they finish the courses.

<h2>More Updates On Community Programmes And Activities On New MCA Website&nbsp;</h2>
The new website provides more details on the vocational courses, which also enables people to sign up for the programmes, said Heng.
It also constantly promotes community programmes and activities in Malaysia.
Aside from such information, Wanita MCA&rsquo;s plans and social initiatives, for example, the Legal Advisory and Women&rsquo;s Aid Centre (Lawa) can be found on the website as well.
There have been 600 cases handled by Lawa since its establishment 8 years ago, which were mostly linked to family and marital problems, domestic violence, sexual harassment and cheating.&nbsp;
Heng said It is different from MCA Public Services and Complaints Department led by Datuk Seri Michael Chong as Lawa does not publicise the problems through holding press conferences for the sake of victims&rsquo; privacy.&nbsp;
&ldquo;This is to protect the victims&rsquo; privacy, considering their often awkward family situation,&rdquo; she said.
Lawa is not in charge of dealing with cases involving loan sharks and gangsterism, which belong to the territory of Chong&rsquo;s department, she added.

Malaysians To Be Offered High Paying Jobs Such As Confinement Lady & Wedding Chaperone!

To assist low-income families, 2,391 affordable housing units are planned to be constructed by the Sarawak government under the Housing Development Corporation&rsquo;s (HDC) Rumah Spektra Permata initiative.
&ldquo;The state government is committed to providing affordable homes for the lower-income group (B40) and the middle-income group (M40) through the village expansion scheme (SPK) as well as the Affordable Housing Scheme (RMM) that has been implemented in Darul Hans (Kuching), Kampung Kapit Batu (Kapit) and Kampung Datu Baru (Sibu),&rdquo; revealed Sarawak Deputy Public Health and Housing Minister Michael Tiang at the Sarawak Housing and Real Estate Developers Association (Sheda) Sibu roadshow.

<h2>The Housing Development Corporation&rsquo;s (HDC) Rumah Spektra Permata initiative&nbsp;</h2>
For the 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025) in the programme, the units will cost between RM 90,000 and RM 160,000. It will be offered to people who are married or single parents with the monthly income between RM 1500- RM 6000. The qualified applicants should be aged between 18 years old and 65 years old as well as do not own any house.&nbsp;

<h2>Other Assistance Offered To Support The Low Income Group&nbsp;</h2>
Last year, HDC introduced the Sarawak Housing Rental Assistance Scheme (SRAS), becoming the first and only initiative helping low-income people with their rental payments.
It provides financial aid of RM 200 per month for 36 months, which is open to residents in Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri.&nbsp;
Those who are eligible to apply for the scheme should be Sarawakians aged 21 years old and above as well as having a household monthly income not over the amount of RM 2131. The applicants also must have a child living with them under their care. 
Moreover, persons with disabilities will be prioritised among the applicants.&nbsp;
Another initiative to help people to cope with high house&rsquo;s prices is the Housing Deposit Assistance Scheme (HDAS). According to Tiang, the government will collaborate with Mutiara Mortgage &amp; Credit Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of HDC, to provide loans with a maximum of RM 10,000 or 10% of the house value to purchasers.
&ldquo;Earlier this year, the Sarawak government launched the Housing Deposit Assistance Scheme (HDAS) involving a RM10mil allocation to help low-income and middle-income earners, especially youths, to own a house,&rdquo; said Tiang.
&ldquo;Forking out the deposit or down payment is the hardest threshold to cross for youths or a young family who wish to have their own home.
&ldquo;This initiative also benefits stakeholders such as the housing developers and hardware suppliers,&rdquo; he said.

<h2>High Cost Of House Prices In Malaysia?</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Asia/Malaysia/square-meter-prices">Global Property Guide</a>, the average per square metre (sq. m.) for houses in Malaysia compared to other Asian countries costs USD $ 3,441 (RM 16,258.72), which is ranked higher than Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam while lower than China, Hong Kong and Singapore with house prices over USD $ 10,000 (RM 47,250).
In Singapore, co-living has become a trend to deal with the rising cost of houses.

While Malaysia doesn&rsquo;t have the problem of high house prices as severe as Singapore, it still deserves our attention, for it affects the low-income group the most. After all, we don&rsquo;t want to see the situation of homelessness happens to people.
Do you think these initiatives proposed by the Sarawak government can help people to afford homes to live? Would you recommend people to apply for them?

Sarawak Govt To Build New Affordable Houses For The Low Income Group

With the current economic situation, we&rsquo;ve been hearing many stories of Malaysians starting to work two jobs to make ends meet. Aside from working two jobs, there are those who also make their way across the Causeway to work in Singapore in hopes of a better paying job due to the current exchange currency (S$1 = ~RM3.25).

But have you ever heard of Singaporeans coming to Malaysia to work? Sounds a bit strange, doesn&rsquo;t it?
One Singaporean man is currently doing the exact said thing and he shared his explanation on TikTok.
Singapore has no work-life balance

At the time of writing this, the video had gained more than 259K views and over 17K likes on the app.
The video shows Hasan Ithnin, a Malaysian man who tells us that we normally hear the story of Malaysians favouring to work in Singapore as their exchange rate is higher. He later turns the camera to Hayyum, his Singaporean friend who thinks otherwise.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1665546782/unsigned/ac1as04vazhemqbu7zm1.webp" />
&nbsp;
Hayyum has no doubt that the Singapore dollar is much valuable than ringgit but he had chose to stay in Malaysia as he wants to be with his wife and kids.
While many Malaysians travel over to Singapore to make ends meet despite how much they need to struggle and sacrifice, Hayyum says that working in Singapore lacks work-life balance.
&ldquo;I have friends who work in Malaysia and Singapore. In their own countries, they also earn about 1,500 but the biggest difference is that my friends in Malaysia have a life,&rdquo; said Hayyum.
He explains that although his friend earns S$1,500 (~RM4,874.31) a month, he only has one day in a week to spend time with his kids and at times, he&rsquo;s too busy to even see them during the week.

&nbsp;
Family over work
&nbsp;<img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/3tzQn3FavIInaDJaeX/giphy.gif" alt="Like Family GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" />
One of the main reasons why Hayyum had chose to work in Malaysia rather than in Singapore is due to him wanting to spend more time with his family and kids. Aside from spending time with his family and kids, he also shares that working in Malaysia is less stressful than working in Singapore.
&ldquo;I want to be able to spend lots of time with my kids and see my family and friends. That&rsquo;s the best thing.&rdquo;
In fact, there had been a study to identify how working is in other countries and the results of it are not shocking. In a report by Kisi, they had compared data on working intensity, institutional support, legislation and liveability to identify the ranks of cities based on their success in promoting a work-life balance.
The studies revealed that Kuala Lumpur and Singapore are ranked #3 and #4 in the most overworked cities in the world, falling behind Hong Kong in #2 and Dubai at #1.

&nbsp;
Among the countries out there, Singapore was noted to have one of the longest working hours per week at 45 hours followed by China at 42 hours. The average annual leaves in Singapore is also placed at 7 days which is among the lowest in the region. Meanwhile in terms of Public Holidays, Malaysia also see&rsquo;s one of the most National Public Holidays yearly at 11 days and this is not including the public holidays according to states.
Netizens Agree That Malaysia Has Better Work life Balance
Coming from the comments on TikTok, many had agreed with Hayyum&rsquo;s statement. Netizens even agreed that life in Malaysia is less hectic than Singapore.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1665547032/unsigned/fqbsliofwz5harbxaj8k.png" />
&nbsp;
We should be thankful for work as some Johorians who work in Singapore have to sacrifice and get up at 4am for work and sometimes end up back home at 10-11pm, leaving no time for family or even some downtime to relax.
Perhaps its time to reflect and look at the brighter side of things when working in Malaysia. Yea, the economy does suck and our currency isn&rsquo;t the strongest but in terms of happiness, I think most of us are pretty happy with what we have right now.
