We all know that everyone&rsquo;s been buzzing over non-fungible tokens (NFT&rsquo;s) lately and some people have really profited in as they invested in it.
Now, Malaysian rapper Namewee has turned into an overnight millionaire after releasing his song Fragile as a NFT. Within the first three hours of the launch, the song had earned him 209 ETH which is worth around RM4 Million.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Rp7UPbhErE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
The song is a collaboration between Namewee and Australian singer Kimberly Chen. Ironically, even though the song is a hit to many with 27.3 million views on YouTube at the time of writing this article, China had banned both Wee and Chen&rsquo;s Weibo accounts and removed the song as it was deemed insulting to the Chinese.
Singapore portal Today had reported that the song has also been banned due to it containing jabs towards Chinese president Xi Jinping and the fact that the song touches on sensitive topics such as censorship, cancel culture, Uighurs, and Covid-19.
A specific line mentions a love for &ldquo;dogs, cats, bats and civets&rdquo; which apparently alludes to the pandemic, and another which goes, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s illegal to breach the firewall, you&rsquo;ll be missed if the Pooh discovers it,&rdquo; is a dig at the Chinese leader who has been likened to Winnie the Pooh by social media.
Currently, most of the views are currently from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Not surprised that Namewee is back at something racial related huh?

&nbsp;
Namewee took to his Facebook page stating that he released the NFT on the platform OpenSea and there were only 99 available.
&ldquo;I am overwhelmed at becoming a millionaire overnight&rdquo; he said as his NFT&rsquo;s were all sold out within 3 hours.
&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnamewee%2Fposts%2F448009946684324&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="631" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
Did you know Namewee made a song dedicated to NFTs as well?

&nbsp;
According to him, he produced a song called Go NFT and had deleted all the related original musical documents to make it unique compared to other items in the NFT world.
If you&rsquo;d like to purchase Go NFT, you can buy it on <a href="https://opensea.io/assets?search%5bquery%5d=Go%20NFT%20namewee">OpenSea</a>.
One thing to note is that Namewee promised to not convert his virtual currency into real money no matter how much he earns. For fans of Namewee, you can mark your calendars down as he&rsquo;ll be releasing more NFTs on 12 November 2021.
Well, if you&rsquo;re someone very popular despite of the right or wrong things, I guess selling NFT&rsquo;s is the way to go if you want to be an instant millionaire. 
Have you invested into NFTs and do you think it&rsquo;s worth it? Let us know in the comments!

Although his song was successful, China had removed Namewee and Kimberly’s Weibo account and also banned the song.

Namewee Becomes An Overnight Millionaire After Selling NFTs Of His New Song

Israeli border police stand guard as an Israeli bulldozer demolishes the house of the Palestinian Salhiya family at the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, 19 January 2022. Overnight, the Israeli police evacuated the Salhiya family's house and arrested some of the family members. - EPA pic
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Another devastating action made by Israeli police continued to fuel the rage of many countries towards their action in destroying the home of a Palestinian family and arrested at least 18 people as they carried out a controversial eviction order in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah early Wednesday, Jan 19.
That was not the first time. Israel has caught global attention since the looming eviction of other families from Sheikh Jarrah in May last year fuelled an 11-day war between Israel and armed Palestinian factions in Gaza.
Which part that they do not understand about human rights in the very first place? Do not understand or refuse to?
"Israel police completed the execution of an eviction order of illegal buildings built on grounds designated for a school for children with special needs from east Jerusalem," a police statement said.
It said "members of the family living in the illegal buildings were given countless opportunities to hand over the land with consent".
An AFP photographer witnessed the demolition of the house.
What was happening exactly?
According to a police spokeswoman, 18 family members and supporters were detained for "violating a court order, violent fortification, and disrupting public order," although no conflicts occurred during the eviction.
The Salhiya family has been facing the threat of eviction from their home in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem since 2017 when the land where their home sits was allocated for school construction.
When police arrived on Monday to carry out the order, Salhiya family members walked up to the building's roof with gas canisters, threatening to set fire to the contents and themselves if they were forced out.
A delegation of European diplomats also visited the site. Sven Kuehn von Burgsdorff, head of the European Union's mission to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, told the press on Monday that "in occupied territory, evictions are a violation of international humanitarian law".
The police had eventually backed off.
The lawyer for the Salhiya family stated the demolition carried out early Wednesday was "illegal," because the municipality had gotten approval from the court to remove but not destroy the property.
"The eviction ruling is only for Mahmud Salhiya and his wife, not the rest of the family," attorney Walid said while noting a court hearing on Jan 23 upon the issue.
Human Rights Watch Israel and Palestine director Omar Shakir called the eviction &ldquo;cruel&rdquo; and stressed that the Salhiya family had previously been forced from their west Jerusalem home during Israel&rsquo;s creation in 1948.
Wednesday&rsquo;s eviction made them &ldquo;two-time refugees&rdquo;, Burgsdorff said.
What it is like to be Palestinians 
Hundreds of Palestinians face eviction from homes in Sheikh Jarrah and other east Jerusalem neighbourhoods. Circumstances surrounding the eviction threats vary.
In some cases, Jewish Israelis have lodged legal claims to plots they say were illegally taken during the war that accompanied Israel's creation in 1948.
Palestinians say their homes were legally purchased from Jordanian authorities who controlled East Jerusalem between 1948 and 1967.
Israel captured east Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of 1967 and later annexed it in a move not recognized by the international community.
More than 200,000 Jewish settlers have since moved into the city's eastern sector, fuelling tensions with Palestinians, who claim it as the capital of their future state.

Despite the criticisms slammed upon their inhuman oppression against the Palestinians, Israel proceeded to execute more Palestinians from their own homeland.

Israel Police Continue To Destroy Palestinian Homes In East Jerusalem Eviction

Recently, we have been acknowledged by the Health Ministry's conditional approval of Pfizer-BioNTech's Comirnaty vaccine for children last week along with the update on MySejahtera apps that allows parents to sign up their children aged five to 11-year-old for the COVID-19 vaccination on their MySejahtera app as vaccine dependents.

</ul>
Starting February, the government will start its mission to reach herd immunity as children aged between 5 to 11-year-old will receive their COVID-19 vaccine.
The Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee (JKJAV), through a tweet, said children will only receive paediatric doses of Pfizer-BioNTech's Cominarty vaccine which is proven to be safe and effective.
Paediatric dose?
Since children's immune system does not run like the elders, medical experts suggested for this age group for paediatric dose which refers to a smaller dose of the vaccine.
It is equivalent to one-third of the dosage given to individuals aged 12 and above.
JKJAV clarified that clinical trials found that the risk of symptomatic Covid-19 infection in vaccinated children is reduced by 90%.
As proper research has been carried out, parents should be at ease because common post-vaccination side effects in children are mild and moderate which severe adverse reactions are hard to occur.
JKJAV said children with comorbidities or those at high risk of contracting severe Covid-19 infections will be prioritised for vaccination.
Is there any exception for children getting vaccinated?
To some extent, yes.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642658730/unsigned/hhenwsr15sj2dxdqzrby.gif" alt="" width="270" height="340" />
An exception would be entitled to children who have a history of severe allergies (anaphylaxis) against medicines, food, or unknown ingredients.
Similarly, children who experience allergic reactions&nbsp;within 72 hours of getting their first dose, or who have reactions to any of the Covid-19 vaccine's ingredients, will not be offered a second dose.
The Drug Control Authority on Jan 6 granted conditional approval for the Cominarty vaccine to be used on children aged between 5 and 11.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin further stated that the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force-Children (CITF-C) has been established to monitor the Covid-19 immunisation programme for children.
Vaccination is to protect us and our loved ones as the vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body and nothing about microchips or political agenda is involved.
Get vaccinated and stay safe!

If it&rsquo;s one thing all Malaysian&rsquo;s know is that our neighbours at East Malaysia is truly still underdeveloped. This is due to the mass size of Sabah and Sarawak as they are still very much surrounded by jungles all around them with almost no proper access roads to the villages.
In fact, many of the villages rely on the off-road tracks or even rivers to get around as that&rsquo;s the quickest way around. It&rsquo;s been a common sight that school kids from these villages had to traverse a rickety bridge to get to school daily.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642652954/unsigned/tvvqvuel8myiobgkizxk.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Seeing poor infrastructures like this has got many Malaysians mad and now another post had caught the attention of Malaysians.
Recently, a Twitter post had gone viral on as it showed school kids all cramped on a boat wanting to go to school.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

The images show students from Kampung Pituru and TImbang Taun in Sabah all cramped into a small boat as they make their journey to school. Unfortunately, it&rsquo;s still common in East Malaysia that kids go through dangerous ways just to attend school.
The kids were not just cramped onto the boat but were also lacking in proper safety equipment such as life jackets all this time when taking the boat to school.
No authority had taken ay action against this yet and this netizen figured it&rsquo;d be best to make this as a viral post online. At the time of writing this, the post had gained 4.7K retweets and many had voiced out their disappointment.
The fact that the student&rsquo;s safety is blatantly ignored, and people always wonder why does it take a viral post for authorities to take action?

A netizen even called out our Prime Minister Ismail Sabri and asked if he wanted to be praised, he should donate 5 boats and also lifejackets. Additionally, to provide salary to the boat driver which covers EPF and SOCSO.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Funds for bigger boats and life jackets are in the process
Harun Durabi who&rsquo;s the Deputy Rural Minister for Sabah says that he&rsquo;s working on securing more funds for bigger boats and lifejackets after noting about the viral tweet. He also said that he&rsquo;ll be visiting them soon and will get the exact number of safety jackets for the school children.
One thing Malaysians must know is that in the rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak, rivers play an integral role to connect the communities to the outside world since the villages are unreachable by road.
To think that we still have this kind of issue going on in East Malaysia is very sad. The fact that these kids risk it all to go to school for a proper education. Hopefully authorities will take action about this soon and not when a death is reported.

Sabah: Netizens Raise Concern Over Lack Of Lifejackets In Cramped 'School Boat'

The country keeps on recording its death toll due to COVID-19 to another 13 counts since last night, making the national death toll to 31,831.
According to the <a href="https://covidnow.moh.gov.my/deaths/">ministry's CovidNow portal</a>, data showed that there were no brought-in-dead (BID) (Brought-in-dead cases refer to cases of death that occurred outside the hospital involving COVID-19 patients who did not show any symptoms) cases reported yesterday, which means the BID death toll remains at 6,420 since early of Jan 16, 2022.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642649129/unsigned/tzvub3njzlz4jg3wwpf4.png" width="600" /> 
On the other hand, as mentioned on the GitHub website of the Ministry of Health (MOH), three states and federal territories, namely Penang, Sabah, and Kuala Lumpur each recorded two deaths while Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Perlis and Selangor, each recorded one case of death due to COVID-19, yesterday.
Too real yet some still view this as a fictional dystopian.
In fact, a total of 41,129 active cases were admitted into the system yesterday with a number of 34, 253 cases are undergoing home quarantine; a total of 3,989 patients are currently receiving treatment at the COVID-19 Low-Risk Quarantine and Treatment Center (PKRC) and another 2,725 patients are still being treated at the hospital.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642649181/unsigned/batas9xwemptrhklmh6m.png" /> 
Meanwhile, a total of 264,635 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were given yesterday, involving 258,337 third doses; 4,317 second doses, and 1,981 first doses.
Until yesterday, it has been calculated as much as 61,540,069 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given to the Malaysian population.
As stated by the system, 97.9 percent of the country's adult population has completed their vaccinations while 88.2 percent of the adolescent population between the ages of 12 to 17 have also been fully vaccinated. But with the recent vaccination scams going around in the country, the data might still need to reallocate.

When many have followed the SOP and taken care of everything that they could, what an unfortunate that some group of people still have the audacity to choose by only thinking of themselves, paying thousands of ringgit just for a fake vaccination certification to enjoy the same privileges like those vaccination people.
Team MYC! advocates everyone to think 'cook-cook' before making a mistake that the consequences might lead to community destruction and losing loved ones. Take care!

COVID-19 Claims 13 More Malaysian Lives

Looks like the Malaysian sports scene had really taken a stir lately. First it started from Football, then <a href="https://myc.com.my/articles/858/nsc-axes-144-national-athletes-from-training-programme-due-to-lack-of-funds">NSC dropping 144 of our athletes</a> and now the Badminton scene a mess.
Our national badminton player Lee Zii Jia has officially left the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM)!
Initially it began as a rumour where BAM had denied the statement and claims that Zii Jia had been unaware of such whispers. At the time, many were relieved that he wasn&rsquo;t getting dropped but on 17 January, the rumour had returned, and tension built up as he refused to confirm or deny his future status with BAM.
Timeline of events
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642647782/unsigned/dhsmzuov90pp3iwytomj.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The issue was brought up again after an Astro Arena journalist had visited the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) where she wanted to ask about BAM&rsquo;s future goals for tournaments. However, Syakirah Zulkifly was then told there were several meetings going on and one of them was with Zii Jia himself.
&ldquo;This was the first time (Zii Jia) met with BAM since the news broke a few weeks ago that Zii Jia intended to turn professional,&rdquo; said Syakirah. Additionally, there was an emergency meeting scheduled which involved council members from all states and Syakirah felt that it must have been &ldquo;something big&rdquo;.
Quite recently, Zii Jia had left his training to attend the meeting twice where one was alone and one was with his sister. Things were quoted to be tense in BAM after the meeting and the issues of the meeting were highlighted to the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642647796/unsigned/cav8szoayidk6zzucqdt.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Initially, Norza Zakaria, president of BAM, said that the meetings were to outline Zii Jia&rsquo;s 2022 season goals. In an interview with Zii Jia on 18 January, he did not deny the rumours of him leaving BAM.
&ldquo;I can tell (you) that I don&rsquo;t think it is my place to comment anything more about this. I feel that (if there&rsquo;s) any announcement, BAM will announce it. I will still focus on training to produce good results and make Malaysia proud.&rdquo;
He had also stated that he felt touch that he&rsquo;s compared to Datuk Lee Chong Wei, but he also says that what he&rsquo;s achieved and has is totally different than what he&rsquo;s (Zii Jia) done.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642647829/unsigned/fmdakmvahocdgtuclqyk.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Admittingly, Wong Choon Han who&rsquo;s the Director of Coaching said that losing Zii Jia would be a BIG loss to BAM as they&rsquo;ll be losing their #1 player and they will have to rush to train up their other athletes.
BAM confirms Lee Zii Jia&rsquo;s exit
At 5:30pm on Wednesday (19 January 2022), Norza Zakaria confirmed that Zii Jia submitted his resignation letter. FMT reported that his decision to resign was due to him not being able to stand the pressure as he wanted to achieve his own dreams according to his own pace.
As of now, Zii Jia will begin his journey as a professional player and will be joined by fellow player Goh Jin Wei.
Netizens started blaming BAM
Ever since the retirement of Datuk Lee Chong Wei in 2019, many had slammed BAM on their actions to improve the squad. Many had also suggested that BAM should address the internal issues within the organization and at ministerial level before they think of the nation&rsquo;s progression in the sport.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642647964/unsigned/mk56cjjcwkcwzsuogh9v.png" />
&nbsp;
Zii Jia is ranked 7th in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Rankings in the men&rsquo;s singles category and he is the third Malaysian men&rsquo;s singles shuttler to win the All-England title this century.
I&rsquo;m sure all Malaysians would love to see Zii Jia succeed in the future and as how he stated it, &ldquo;at his own pace&rdquo;. Meanwhile, BAM should probably look into their internal management team and investigate what led to Zii Jia&rsquo;s resignation cause I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;s also due to internal factors.

Many had blamed the association for the loss of talent. Meanwhile, Zii Jia will be competing in international competitions on his own time.

Lee Zii Jia Quits BAM Due To Overwhelming Pressure

When it comes to online business, we know that many people can really make a living by purely selling stuff online and sometimes also with very minimal effort. Like it&rsquo;s one of the fastest ways of making money without needing to do anything illegal at all.
But we all know that we&rsquo;ve seen some weird ways of people making money and I think this has got to be one of the weirdest out there.
Stephanie Matto sells her farts online 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1639714256/unsigned/uxdonipdziat768u3zki.png" />
&nbsp;
Yep, you heard me. For those who don&rsquo;t know who Stephanie is, she is the star of the show &ldquo;90 Day Fianc&eacute;&rdquo;. She says that she sees this as a money-making opportunity.

&nbsp;
The more surprising thing here is that she actually makes a decent amount of money by doing so. It was revealed that she roughly earns $50,000 (~RM213K) per week by selling her farts!

Yo what?! That&rsquo;s a lot of money...
<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

Although she is doing well, she does get her fair share of criticism by many people online and there&rsquo;s also the other end of the spectrum where people are supportive of her.

&nbsp;
Stephanie had made a video titled &ldquo;Day in the life of girl who sells farts in a jar!&rdquo; where she shows the process of what she consumes daily to produce the &ldquo;high quality&rdquo; farts that she sells. In the video, we can see that her diet consists of protein muffins, beans, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs and protein shakes.
So, what does her jar even contain? Aside from her farts at least&hellip;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1639714390/unsigned/zck4zgonuhbxajf7b4f9.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Funny enough, she actually took some effort to even personalise each jar. The insides contain flower petals and even a personalised handwritten note. Each jar is sold at $100 (~RM421.15) and people are seriously queueing to get their hands on them.

&nbsp;
Funny enough, Stephanie had also caught the attention of local comedian Harith Iskandar as he praises on how she makes money. He even commented that he used to fart at his friends just to simply annoy them.

Well, you may judge someone for doing this, but it makes genuine money. At least she isn&rsquo;t resorting to selling illegal substances as a source of income.&nbsp;
If you knew you could be making money like this, would you sell your farts too? Or maybe even buy someone's farts? Let us know!

Are you someone who really loves cryptocurrency?
Well, if have invested into Dogecoin, we have some good news for you.
<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4874e1580d147c00c7856da3537e9c1a/tumblr_n0qms91iNW1seezreo2_400.gifv" alt="#jeremy clarkson from Ambitiose Sed Ineptum" />
&nbsp;
Thanks to the internet&rsquo;s favourite Meme Connoisseur AKA Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, the value of Dogecoin had shot up &ldquo;to the moon&rdquo;.
<img src="https://giffiles.alphacoders.com/213/213073.gif" />
&nbsp;
The reason behind this is that Tesla recently announced that they will begin accepting the cryptocurrency as legal tender. Musk had even gone to his Twitter stating that consumers can purchase &ldquo;some merchandise&rdquo; with Dogecoin.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Tesla will make some merch buyable with Doge &amp; see how it goes
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1470703708677840896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 14, 2021</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

As soon as he had announced that, the value of Dogecoin had rose by 15% from RM0.67 to RM0.88. At the time of writing this article, the coin is currently priced at RM0.77. The decision of this was anticipated as a couple months ago, he had agreed with his Twitter followers that Tesla should accept the coin as payment.
For those who did not know, Dogecoin has been around since 2013 where it was created by software engineer Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It all started off as a joke but within two weeks of it&rsquo;s debut, the coin had rose in value from US$0.00026 (~RM0.0011) to US$0.00095 (~RM0.0040).
Is Elon Musk the key to breaking the Cryptocurrency market?

&nbsp;
If you follow the man on Twitter, you can sometimes realise that he&rsquo;s the reason why cryptocurrency had fluctuating value due to some reasons. Earlier in the year, he had managed to raise the value of Bitcoin from RM150K to RM180K as he had purchased US$1.5 billion (~RM6.35 billion) worth of the digital currency.
Even back in May 2021, when Musk clarified that Tesla did not sell any of their bitcoin and when he started s**tposting, the price had dropped by 20%.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
To clarify speculation, Tesla has not sold any Bitcoin
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1394170030741413888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 17, 2021</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In fact, previously he had also drove the prices of the <a href="https://myc.com.my/articles/623/crypto-shiba-inu-coin-storms-up-to-the-11th-biggest-crypto-currency-in-the-world">Shiba Inu coin to drop</a> by 10% as he stated he did not own any of the currency.
When you really think of it, Musk is pretty smart (I am if it isn&rsquo;t obvious enough) cause he manages to fund SpaceX from crypto alone. If one were to closely follow how Musk invests into crypto, I&rsquo;m sure people can make it big here as one simple cryoto related tweet can definitely shake the market up.
Do you think it&rsquo;s wroth to invest more into these meme coins since it now has more potential to go up in value? Let us know your thoughts!

Elon Musk Drives Dogecoin Value Up After Tesla Accepts Coin As Payment

For most of us who use the ATM, we all know what at one point in time we had a RM1 fee when needing to do an inter-bank withdrawal at an automated teller machine (ATM).
Back in mid-2020, the government had given the order to <a href="https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2020/04/580845/mco-rm1-interbank-atm-cash-withdrawal-fee-waived">temporarily waive</a> the RM1 fee as it was to prevent the rakyat from moving around too much during the Covid-19 crisis and the MCO period as the government wanted to prevent people from crowding at banks during the pandemic.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
It took a killer virus for banks to waive that RM1 ATM fee
&mdash; Still $. I'm Blessed/Diberkati.🤲🏻🕶️ (@LOLsuren) <a href="https://twitter.com/LOLsuren/status/1245991713333596160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 3, 2020</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

But it seems like the pandemic had really taken it&rsquo;s toll on banks as they are set to reimplement the RM1 waive fee.
The temporary waiver may end by early-2022
<a href="https://ringgitplus.com/en/blog/bank-news/all-banks-in-malaysia-will-waive-rm1-meps-fee-for-interbank-withdrawals-until-the-end-of-mco.html">RinggitPlus</a> had published an article stating that City Bank had sent out a notice stating that the inter-bank cash withdrawal charge would be reinstated on 1 February next year.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1639542250/unsigned/qtydncc4b5i2dwzvd8yj.png" />
&nbsp;
Additionally, a similar notice had been issued by the Kuwait Financial House (KFH) bank.
Many share their thoughts and opinions on the situation
One of many arguments is that &ldquo;why do we need to be charged RM1 for a simple cash withdrawal&rdquo; on an ATM that is not under their bank?
As some would know, not every location will have the ATM of all banks. Example, if you withdraw cash at a petrol station, you sometimes only have the option of having a CIMB ATM machine only. If you&rsquo;re in rural parts of Malaysia, there is a likelihood that you&rsquo;ll only have one or two bank choices available, and I don&rsquo;t think anyone would be willing to travel the distance to simply withdraw money.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
dekat area pekan2, kdg2 ada satu jenis mesin ATM je, yg ambil duit sana bukan golongan ada2. RM1 mungkin tak bnyk utk kita, utk mereka? hidup kena pandang sekeliling, bukan aku aku, kau kau. <a href="https://t.co/8ETijs9gRC">https://t.co/8ETijs9gRC</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

But even after a pandemic, not everyone had gained money to afford everything.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
So after almost 2 years of suffering &amp; lockdowns, the rakyat has suddenly gained a large sum of money to be able to afford everything?? I know it&rsquo;s RM1, but come on la, we&rsquo;re struggling to find money &amp; yet we&rsquo;re getting pinned back by price increases &amp; charges after charges.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Meanwhile one bright netizen had the idea of playing a 15 second ad to skip the RM1 charge. Oh boy, if you hate this happening on YouTube imagine it at an ATM.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Ko jangan mat. Jakgi dia keluar window pop up suruh purchase dulu baru remove ads sia2 jer.. 😂

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

While this is happening again, it&rsquo;s time for Malaysians to utilize zero-cash payment methods and e-Wallets now as it&rsquo;s more convenient than needing to head over to an ATM.
On a good note, sometimes when we use e-Wallets, we can get cashback or even discounts on our purchases.

&nbsp;
Now if only someone in the parliament can bring up this particular issue instead of the issue of our flight stewardess dress codes as it&rsquo;s deemed &ldquo;too sexy&rdquo;. 
Issues like this is something that effects the rakyat especially with the hike in price on our daily expenses. Do you think they should maintain the RM1 waiver? 
If they don&rsquo;t, should banks start placing more ATMs all around so its more accessible? Let us know your thoughts!

Banks To Reinstate RM1 Withdrawal Fee In Early 2022

Everyone has probably dreamt of playing games while earning money, am I right? Unless you&rsquo;re an Esports player playing on the big stage ya know, but that kinda takes too much effort.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/images/f7e65f41d79719f002ec34267ae97343/tenor.gif" />
&nbsp;
But hey, looks like you&rsquo;ll enjoy this. Remember Pokemon Go? Yeah, the game that literally made everyone go outdoors everywhere and socialised with others even though you&rsquo;re on the phone. Well, the creators, Niantic, had teamed up with crypto debit card company Fold to create an AR game where you can earn Bitcoin.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/jRGGQMWvYvYraZ5kvI/giphy.gif?cid=790b76115121d278c325c4cd96bcf177cbd94b962ae1fd3b&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Interested Season 10 GIF by Curb Your Enthusiasm" />
&nbsp;
Introducing Fold AR
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637827053/unsigned/vid40auwsjwl1tslatf1.jpg" alt="" width="838" height="419" />
&nbsp;
The game is similar to Pokemon Go but instead of catching all em Pokemon&rsquo;s, you&rsquo;re out there interacting with crypto references and break &ldquo;cubes of binary code&rdquo; to earn cryptocurrency. The cubes can be tapped on like Minecraft blocks until they reveal the prize.
The Bitcoin gained will be in small units known as Satoshish which is exactly 0.00000001 Bitcoin or about RM0.0024. They also include power-ups for Fold which already gamifies card purchases through an app that lets you spin a wheel and win Bitcoin rewards.
How often do the prizes show up?
As the game is launched from inside the Fold app, it&rsquo;s not currently set in a world full of virtual places that corresponds to real-world locations. As for the prizes, it spawns a block between 1 and 50 feet every 10 minutes which mirrors the real rate of Bitcoin mining.
<img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FatalBountifulAcornwoodpecker-max-1mb.gif" />
&nbsp;
There is a goal to make Fold AR&rsquo;s virtual currencies to feel real by placing them in real world said Will Reeves,CEO of Fold.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637827085/unsigned/gzjmol60i9mevcpp9ncw.jpg" alt="" width="838" height="549" />
&nbsp;
The game is also filled with cryptocurrency and meme stock jokes such as mechanics like &ldquo;Diamond Hands&rdquo;, &ldquo;REKD&rdquo; and &ldquo;Shit Coin&rdquo;. Reeves says that these memes and jokes are meant to appeal both newcomers to the world of cryptocurrency and existing fans of it.
Early next year, more features will be added such as a geocaching-like multiplayer system which allows you and others to hide Bitcoin or some forms of Non-fungible tokens (NFT) for others to find.
Currently the game is rolling out under the Fold app but it is unavailable in Malaysia.
This is pretty cool if you ask me and to have prizes spawn every 10 minutes makes sense as others will understand the process of obtaining cryptocurrencies. Now the real question is if this will ever come into Malaysia? Guess we&rsquo;ll have to wait and find out.

Niantic Creates An AR Game Which Lets You Earn Bitcoin!

Have you been investing into cryptocurrencies?
For a long time now, many have been into cryptocurrency and some people have been making big profits out of it. But one problem is, how do we even spend it since it&rsquo;s not exactly accepted everywhere?
Well, you&rsquo;re now in luck as Mastercard wants to change the all that as they are partnering with three of Asia Pacific&rsquo;s biggest cryptocurrency service providers to launch a crypto-linked Mastercard payment card!
<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/48/af/d0/48afd0510b98ad1202daaee5bf28bc4c.gif" />
&nbsp;
Best part of all this is, the card is either a Mastercard credit, debit or prepaid card, will all enable all holders to spend their cryptocurrencies. So far there are three cryptocurrency services which offer their own buy-and-trade service in their own market, and they are Hong Kong&rsquo;s Amber Group, Thailand&rsquo;s Bitkub and Australia&rsquo;s CoinJar.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1636599234/unsigned/vfhh1rbhyqetounjv1hz.webp" alt="The new partners of Mastercard for their new Crypto Card" width="838" height="471" /> The new partners of Mastercard for their new Crypto Card
&nbsp;
They are now the first Asian-based company to join Mastercard&rsquo;s Crypto Card programme, and this will help other crypto companies bring this new payment feature to life.
&ldquo;Cryptocurrencies are many things to people&mdash;an investment, a disruptive technology, or a unique financial tool. As interest and attention surges from all quarters, their real-world applications are now emerging beyond the speculative.
In collaboration with these partners that adhere to the same core principles that Mastercard does &ndash; that any digital currency must offer stability, regulatory compliance and consumer protection &ndash; Mastercard is expanding what&rsquo;s possible with cryptocurrencies to give people even greater choice and flexibility in how they pay.&rdquo; &ndash; ,&rdquo; said Mastercard&rsquo;s Executive Vice President Rama Sridhar
How does this work though?
It&rsquo;s pretty simple actually. Instead of sending your cryptocurrency to the business or seller, you can now instantly convert your cryptocurrency into normal fiat currency which can be used. If you&rsquo;re worried of how the currency will travel between channels, don&rsquo;t worry as it will have to go though Mastercard&rsquo;s network as a traditional fiat currency.
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/Cc2EQtVXcTUAAAAC/how-interesting-coffee.gif" />
&nbsp;
Mastercard believes it&rsquo;s a good time to capitalise on the rise of cryptocurrency in Asia as their latest payment index showed that 45% of surveyed participants in Asia say that they would consider cryptocurrency within the next year. In comparison to the survey from the previous year, they have seen an increase of interest in cryptocurrency by 12%. The main reason why many believe Mastercard is venturing into Crypto in Asia is due to it being higher than the 40% global average.

Will the Crypto Card Program be coming to Malaysia?
So far there has been no word of it being available in Malaysia as the other partners such as Bitkub only covers the Thailand domestic market and CoinJar only operates in Australia and United Kingdom for now. Meanwhile Amber Group has a lot of places and companies but only has a presence in Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul and Vancouver.
I think it&rsquo;s not a bad idea to have these Crypto Cards but imagine if you lose the card, now that&rsquo;s going to be a lot of trouble. &nbsp;Another question would be how the bank constantly keeps track of your crypto purchases especially when some NFTs hold high value in the market.
Now the real question is, would you get this card if given the opportunity? Share your thoughts in the comments!
