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.

&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.

&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.

&nbsp;
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!

Looks like there’s going to be an easier way for people to use their cryptocurrencies now!

Mastercard To Launch Crypto-Linked Cards To Use As Payments Anywhere 

Are you a frequent user of public transport when going to work or making our way around town?
Previously, we reported that Grab and some e-Hailing companies are getting too expensive and many have been complaining about it till the transport minister demanded an explanation. Grab had also admitted the shortage of drivers but also explain how their pricing system worked.

However, we have some pretty bad news&hellip;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653619976/unsigned/p5fasbfzgt2brshegydv.png" />
&nbsp;
Transport Minister Datuk Sri Wee Ka Siong had announced that the transit rails will be undergoing a maintenance period which could last up to six months beginning 26 May 2022.
This was due to the numerous breakdowns that had happened along the Kelana Jaya LRT Line which is the busiest rail transit in town.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/xT0xeqdJBvhjta1tug/200.gif" alt="Jumanji2017 GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" />
&nbsp;
The maintenance will be categorised in four different levels which involve the repair and overhaul of (MRO) of the 28 sets of 818 series trains which is an important process to extend the life span of trains.
Additionally, the government will be receiving 19 new types of trains in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the Kelana Jaya route. Finally, an upgrade. As this is considered a &ldquo;mid-life&rdquo; refurbishment of the Kelana Jaya LRT Line, it&rsquo;s going to cost around RM800 million to do so.
Just in case you don&rsquo;t know how crowded the lines at trains can be, here&rsquo;s a picture from KL Sentral during peak hours.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653620097/unsigned/hieiurkz5v93j28f7lvj.jpg" alt="The line waiting for one train." width="731" height="974" /> The line waiting for one train.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I've been waiting at KL sentral for almost 40 mins now. A train stopped due to some technical issue. Then I realized that this is the third time this month. Feels like LRT is becoming unreliable now 😌😌 <a href="https://t.co/0DXqRuFIXc">pic.twitter.com/0DXqRuFIXc</a>

Bermula 26 Mei, ada sedikit perubahan kepada kekerapan perkhidmatan tren Laluan Kelana Jaya dan Laluan MRT Kajang pada waktu puncak dan juga waktu luar puncak.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

During this maintenance period, commuters will be expecting to see trains to operate at a slower frequency.
The Kelana Jaya LRT Line trains will now be operating at a 4-minute interval during peak hours instead of the previous 2.5-minute intervals. So far, the off-peak hour is unaffected with the train running at 7-minute intervals like usual.
If you&rsquo;re using the Kajang MRT line, trains will be running at 6-minute interval during peak hours instead of the 4-minute interval.

&nbsp;
On a plus side, the LRT and MRT lines will now operate on the off-peak frequency on weekends. This is a step up from the previous schedule where previously the LRT had a 10-minute interval and the MRT had a 12-minute interval.
Well, things could be worse am I right? Thankfully Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is taking things seriously to step up the service and maintenance of the train lines.

What are the odds of a Malaysian born person becoming someone with authority in foreign countries?
Odds of it, normally it&rsquo;s unlikely but in this case, this man here has achieved the unthinkable. Well, its only unthinkable to Malaysians knowing how our member of parliament system works am I right?

Meet Sam Lim, 60, who was born in Muar, Johor and had worked as a dolphin trainer before he moved to Australia in 2002. As most of us may have known from the media, the 2022 Australia election had taken place on 21 May 2022.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653549495/unsigned/nbohdmhkdwim7kn2gpc1.webp" />
&nbsp;
Sam is now a member of parliament (MP) of the seat of Tangney in Western Australia. With his new seat, he will be joining fellow Australian Labor Party senator Penny Wong who is Australia&rsquo;s new foreign minister. Fun fact, she too is Malaysian born which shows that the parliament there has an increasingly diverse parliament.
Speaking of diversity, in the nearby Western Australian electoral division of Moore, Ian Goodenough who was born in Singapore had also hung onto his seat under the Liberal Party.
Won against the odds 
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uvuOkpZyTgE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
It was reported that Lim had overturned a 9.5% margin from the 2019 election to defeat Liberal Party MP Ben Morton. Tangney was considered a safe seat for the Liberal Party as they have won the seat in every election since 1984
During his interview, Lim talked about how tough life was for him and his family as he was one of eight children growing up in a poor family.
"We had to struggle for the first 15 years of my life was the family home had a leaky roof, a dirt floor and no running water or electricity. But that 15 years built me up to today. When I had to fight to win this seat, I utilised all that determination that I gained in the first 15 years of my life and I achieved it,&rdquo; said Lim.
Always dreamt of being a police man
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653549595/unsigned/oern8ushfdyhe3ermflz.png" />
&nbsp;
As a child, he dreamed of becoming a police officer. Unfortunately, at the time in Malaysia, the pay was low, and he had resorted to becoming a dolphin trainer instead.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/QTAVEex4ANH1pcdg16/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611f0fb0f287702c914c4534d311bf1d6cc85077c4d&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Excited Season 6 GIF by The Office" />
&nbsp;
In a report by the Sydney Moring Herald, Lim described the job as his best job ever. He loved it as dolphins are genuine and will never hurt you. Even if you were to fall in the water, the dolphin will come to comfort you.
Unfortunately, his dream job had to end as creditors had taken over the safari park he was working at, and he eventually started a small business which showed good success.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653549620/unsigned/uv4hwghamalg0cm9veyt.png" />
&nbsp;
Once he&rsquo;s earned enough, he had migrated to Australia with his family and fulfilled his life long dream of becoming a police officer as he joined the Western Australia Police Force.
If you&rsquo;re having trouble, he&rsquo;s the one to look for as he speaks 10 different languages. He&rsquo;s put it to good use during the pandemic as well while working with multicultural communities during the pandemic.
All the hard work paid off as he was also awarded Officer of the Year at the Nine News Police Excellence Awards in December 2020 for his role during the pandemic.
Now the next journey in life awaits him and he hopes that his efforts will allow for the Labor Party to stay there for the next 45 years.
It&rsquo;s always nice to see someone who&rsquo;s Malaysian born to make it up there. Hopefully Lim will bring our name proud down in the land down under!

Meet Sam Lim: From Dolphin Trainer & Policeman To Becoming An MP In West Australia

Kanye West or Ye (yes, he legally changed his name to Ye&hellip;) is no stranger to many out there. From his popular music, his Adidas Yeezy shoes to even him marrying American socialite Kim Kardashian.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653540522/unsigned/mq3q2hocgzgvuqqsdg2h.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s rewind a bit to the 2022 Super Bowl LVI where Kanye had been featured in a McDonalds ad and everyone can&rsquo;t forget the well known &ldquo;Can I Get Uhhhhhhh&rdquo; playing the whole way through.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JzNoXpF6OcU" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

&nbsp;
He&rsquo;s finally taken to Instagram to announce his collaboration with industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa as they would be &ldquo;redesigning&rdquo; McDonald&rsquo;s packaging.
If you don&rsquo;t know who Naoto Fukasawa is, he&rsquo;s the man behind the product designs with Japanese retailer company MUJI.
Previously, Kanye had been banned from Instagram as he had violated the platforms policies on hate speech and harassment and bullying but he&rsquo;s finally back.

This Friday (27 May) we&rsquo;ll also get the release of Donda 2 single &ldquo;True Love&rdquo; which features vocals from the late XXXTentacion. So far, it&rsquo;s still unclear if the song is a rework from the version that Stem Player owners are used. Regardless, the song will be featured in X&rsquo;s Look At Me: The Album with the song also featuring in the end credits of the documentary of him which focuses on his career.
Muji is known to have very minimalist designs so its going to be interesting on how the McDonald&rsquo;s designs will look. Not going to lie, I&rsquo;m all down for something minimalist.
Not to forget, new music is also great. I&rsquo;m sure many would look forward to Donda 2 especially since it has vocals from XXXTentacion. &nbsp;

Kanye X Naoto Fukasawa: Reimagine McDonalds Packaging 

Prime Ministers are normally some of the busiest people out there as they constantly need to travel from state to state for official events or even travel to other countries for diplomatic relationships.

Recently, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri had flew for a trip to Japan for 6 days to meet Japan&rsquo;s Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida and to hold several meetings with corporate leaders and businessmen to draw further investments to Malaysia.
Apart from that, he was also recently awarded the Honorary Doctorate in Medicine by Nihon University.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653533973/unsigned/c6nqxqgkjji8yfpiolmc.webp" />
&nbsp;
The degree was awarded in appreciation of Ismail Sabri&rsquo;s efforts and contributions in the fight against Covid-19 and Nihon University is considered one of the most distinguished and oldest private universities in Japan.
The honorary doctorate was awarded by university president Dr Naoto Kato at the Itabashi campus in Tokyo which is within the compound of the university&rsquo;s hospital.
Dedicated the award to the entire Keluarga Malaysia 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653534135/unsigned/h2loqyvrbw20fvmpcwbh.jpg" />
&nbsp;
"Indeed, the award is a great recognition not only for me but for the entire Keluarga Malaysia who have proven our ability to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in our own way," he said.
Additionally, he also mentioned that Malaysia is also recognised by several international agencies. Two of them being Bloomberg and Nikkei who dubbed Malaysia the top 5 nations in the world to have succeeded in controlling the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
The efforts of Ismail Sabri had significantly contributed to the building of trust in international medical collaboration and improvement of technology in remote diagnosis and treatment as well as functional training said Kato.
Degree not recognized by the Malaysia Qualification Agency (MQA)

&nbsp;
While some congratulate him, a netizen had called him out for receiving a degree that&rsquo;s not recognised by the MQA.

The netizen explained that even a university such as Universiti Malaysia Pahang who are infamous for its black magic kit, is in the QS Top Universities ranking but not Nihon University. For the fun of it, netizens also poked around stating Rosmah&rsquo;s honorary doctorate from Curtin University (ranked 217th in the world) is also recognized by MQA.
The funniest comment in all this would be the irony of Malaysians not recognizing the current government too.

PM Ismail Sabri 'Called Out' As MQA Doesn’t Recognise His Awarded Honorary Medical Degree

We all know that when going out, it can be troublesome to take care kids as they tend to run around and have fun. Sometimes, we fear kids causing an unwanted scene when we are out as well which tend to be an issue for some parents.
Unfortunately for this father, his kid had caused a scene which cost him to fork out HK$33,600 (~RM18,778 ) as his son accidentally toppled over a life-sized (1.8M tall) golden Teletubby.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653465829/unsigned/vlyjt2bt5vrc0lzsj6tq.webp" />
&nbsp;
Images of the family went viral all-over social media as on lookers just saw the parents and the two boys standing around the shattered and decapitated remains of the statue. In fact, even a video of the moment had circulated Facebook which sparked a debate whether the family should have been made to pay for the damage caused.&nbsp;
<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3a/d0/39/3ad039f9eece51a4f3383f404d7c9e4a.gif" alt="Pin on GIFS" />
&nbsp;
The father, Cheng, had initially stepped out of the store to make a phone call and he had suddenly heard a loud bang. He turned around to seeing his son motionless and staring down on the ground looking at a broken figure.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653465854/unsigned/hgo8ddwilqpxw6xy87lq.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The KKPlus staff had then approached Cheng stating that his son had kicked over the statue which resulted him in paying for the golden Teletubby. The statue retails at HK$52,800 (~RM29,500) which is a hefty price to pay. However, he was only charged HK$33,600 (~RM18,778)
The boy was so traumatized that he even took a day off from school. He had even asked Cheng why the doll was so terrifying. &nbsp;While all this happened, an online debate happened, and netizens debated if Cheng should have looked after his child more carefully or if the store should have placed the precariously balanced toy elsewhere out of harm&rsquo;s way.
But judging from the CCTV footage, the claim of the kid kicking the doll was false and that had also angered netizens.

Store manager admits responsibility for cornering the incident
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653465882/unsigned/deludnywfpb76dnvwahx.jpg" />
&nbsp;
As the incident blew up on social media, the manager had taken responsibility and said that he will be taking action to prevent such incidents in the future.
He also explained that the cost of the toy was high as it was a prototype which involved copyright and design, research and creation as well as the reinforced packaging fees to transport it. &nbsp;To perspective, the 25cm version of the doll cost HK$1,180 (~RM659.74) hence why the 1.8M tall version is costly.
KKPlus refunds the money and removes all large toys
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653465898/unsigned/mpxwr7tmwdnkabvrmwif.jpg" />
&nbsp;
KKPlus initially posted a statement stating that the issue had been resolved on 23 May. The following day (24 May), Kidsland International who is the parent company of KKPlus had released an apology statement to the family.
Additionally, they had also fully refunded them and stated that immediate improvement will be done to avoid mishaps like this again.
Unfortunately, the damage has been done as the whole ordeal had attracted over 20,000 comments which were mostly negative. In fact, the store&rsquo;s Facebook page had also been bombarded with hate reacts on many of their posts as well as reviews which brought their rating down to only 1 star.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653465913/unsigned/rhew2dizmlu421zra45j.jpg" />
&nbsp;
I don&rsquo;t blame the kid, judging from the CCTV footage, the kid looks like he&rsquo;s just trying to avoid getting in the way of people in the store. Plus, if a store knows that their item is that valuable, they should of secured it properly or set it aside somewhere safer. 
I guess karma is a b**** huh? What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

The kid's father initially paid for the damages but was fully refunded after. Unfortunately, the store had received many negative backlashes due to the incident.

Toy Store Receives Massive Backlash After Kid Accidentally Breaks RM29,500 Statue

With modern times now, there&rsquo; been a lot of businesses being done fully online now and less people have been going to ATMs and using cash outside.
Businesses such as micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) should also adopt start adopting cashless transactions as it&rsquo;s fast + safe said Prime Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1650268399/unsigned/s515ljghlqrxw4aq3kuz.webp" />
&nbsp;
The Covid-19 pandemic had encouraged many methods of cashless payment and it&rsquo;s become common for many to not bring their wallets or cash out. In 2021 alone, ecash transactions alone amounted to RM50.5 Billion in comparison to RM29.6 Billion in 2020 he said.
&ldquo;This is the main reason why the ePemula programme is introduced. We want to encourage youth to embrace cashless transaction,&rdquo; he said when launching the ePemula initiative.
EPemula is another ecash programme set to benefit some two million youths and students in institutions of higher learning.
Under the programme, eligible youths between 18 and 20 as well as full-time students in institutions of higher learning will be given RM150 in ecash.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1650268411/unsigned/r7qbatwoxeu2qjrw1g7h.png" />
&nbsp;
Another factor for the introduction of the Epemula programme is to help ease the financial burden of the youth.
&ldquo;We hope youths will spend the credit given to them wisely and support local businesses, especially the micro, small and medium scale industry so that these businesses can recover.
&ldquo;With more businesses back on track, there will be more revenue for the government and more people, especially the B40 group, can be assisted,&rdquo; he added.
Youth is an important part of nation-building
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1650268424/unsigned/udwlcqcrbrzcpqazs411.jpg" />
&nbsp;
With many youths out there today, it&rsquo;s important to support them as they play a big role on how our country develops. Ismail Sabri also says that they need to be given opportunities to chart Malaysia&rsquo;s future.
The government will be drafting the National Youth Economic Empowerment Plan to further strengthen their roles in the development of the country.
Increasing number of businesses using ewallets
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1650268448/unsigned/y7bzv9untdxoozc8ko0z.webp" />
&nbsp;
Finance Minister Tengku Daruk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz mentioned that more shops have begun accepting payments via ewallets due to the pandemic.
Malaysia recorded a 60% increase in registrations for ecash, Duit Now and QR code transactions as of December 2021. Cashless transactions went up by 74.4% compared to 2020 as 1.1 billion such transactions were made in 2021.
Through the Epemula programme, Zafrul hopes that ecash payments will remain and support more digital financial initiatives.

"Go Cashless!" Prime Minister Encourages Malaysians

It&rsquo;s been more than 2 years since the lockdown and things are still looking bad.
Malaysians are not the only one suffering from bad economy but in fact almost all of Asia and even other regions of the world are all suffering from the post pandemic phase.
If there&rsquo;s one thing that everyone can feel is the increase of goods whether it being daily necessities or even food.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1649913009/unsigned/st2qviicbul4x5hpiukq.jpg" />
&nbsp;
A famous hotpot restaurant in Beijing known as Ma Hong&rsquo;s Spicy Hotpot had been struggling to stay afloat since their opening in 2021. Due to the pandemic, the prices of beef had tripled and key ingredients now costing more than 50% of their original price.
"We sell it at the same price as before. Also with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, everybody is hanging in there. It is the same all over Beijing. We are not the only restaurant suffering," said the owner of the restaurant.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1649913055/unsigned/icomoa596jiayx7kkw4d.png" />
&nbsp;
Many Asian restaurants including street food hawkers are now having an issue if they should just take the hit of the higher cost or passing them on which could risk them losing loyal customers.
Ukraine &amp; Russia war affecting supply chain
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1649913078/unsigned/qowealpntzpzqhx9q8xf.webp" />
&nbsp;
With the war going on, it certainly didn&rsquo;t help the fact that the price of ingredients and materials had increased and affected the supply chain which was already struggling since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Let&rsquo;s put Asia to perspective, there are many stalls which sell delicious street food at an affordable price. It became popular to many households but with the price of goods increasing, many are feeling the pressure of expense usage.
In an interview with an owner of a biryani store in Kranchi, Pakistan, Mohammad Ilyas states that the price of a kilogram of the seasoned rice dish is costly as it&rsquo;s now 400 Pakistani rupees (~RM9.26).
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1649913096/unsigned/gxqvlnhldf6he5miquyt.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Ilyas also noted that some businesses are dealing with the pressure of cutting portion sizes due to the expensive cost. A dish which was meant to be affordable to many had inflated so much that the poor can&rsquo;t afford to eat it.
Meanwhile in Jakarta, a nasi goreng street vendor, Syahrul Zainullah had to unfortunately reduce the size of his servings instead of raising the price. He also didn&rsquo;t want to opt out for lower grade ingredients in fear of losing the taste that many like.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1649913109/unsigned/mu8xa2ndxbpgc0mwbwv1.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Meanwhile al the way up in South Korea, inflation of vegetables has been hitting many sellers hard. Choi Sun-hwa who&rsquo;s a 67-year-old kimchi shop owner had shared that she used to be able to get 10 heads of cabbage for a particular price and now with the inflation, she only received 7.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1649913136/unsigned/hfmasicmidfqlbd4aumg.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Kimchi is a spicy fermented cabbage which is a highly popular side dish in South Korea which is generally free with every meal at eateries. One customer at Chio&rsquo;s store even joked that they should rename kimchi to &ldquo;keum-chi&rdquo; as keum stands for gold in Korean.
If the price of goods keeps increasing, Choi says that she won&rsquo;t likely be able to continue running the business if she can&rsquo;t raise prices.
Change of eating habits
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1649913146/unsigned/ahjglyidmtovqt8lr1xo.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Back then, you&rsquo;ll likely see a lot of people going out to restaurants and enjoying a meal together with family and friends or perhaps maybe alone for some &ldquo;me time&rdquo;.
Due to the cost of goods being expensive, many have now opted to limit eating out and start cooking at home more. Some even comment the days where we can buy many items with RM150 at grocery stores and nowadays, you can barely get anything.
In fact, drinks are sometimes more expensive than food too which makes many people think twice before spending.
Honestly, I do hope that the economy would recover cause at this rate, fresh grads who just got jobs will really suffer to get their daily necessities especially if they live away from their parents. They&rsquo;ll need to think of rental, maintenance fees, petrol and many more things.

Due to the pandemic and war, many had resorted to either cutting their servings, increasing price or just trying to soldier through the inflation.

Crypto.com Is Entering The Malaysian Market & They Are Looking To Hire

Have you ever questioned yourself lately on why you&rsquo;re going broke so fast even if you do have a stable job?
Well, the unfortunate truth is that the cost of living has been going up over the years and we can&rsquo;t do much about it. Like here&rsquo;s a reality check, we are paying more for a drink than our food now.
<img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/yWTrzwWVS9x1zHPIwT/giphy.gif?cid=790b761156677b06fbef01122236887b59081065c7708254&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Season 4 Vegan GIF by The Office" />
&nbsp;
Yeah, let that thought sink in. Half the time we go out to eat, our drink is either half the price if not more than the price of some of our food.
With the rising cost of living, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob had announced a new policy to help those working. The minimum wage of workers will now be increased to RM1,500 a month. According to him, the new minimum salary will be raised will come into effect on 1 May and details will be finalised soon.
Human Resource Ministry and the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry will be holding discussions to identify the small and micro businesses who can&rsquo;t afford to pay the minimum RM1,500.
So far, no conditions have been revealed yet, but these selected small businesses may be able to &ldquo;delay&rdquo; the payment of the new minimum wage. Judging by this statement, it suggests that there will be a policy that will be implemented for this issue.
What is the rough usage of families per month if you&rsquo;re living in the city?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1647924709/unsigned/jiltp1gphlcmimynfwvq.webp" />
&nbsp;
According to Bank Negara&rsquo;s living wage estimates, the above is the rough wages used for each of these categories for someone living in Kuala Lumpur back in 2016.
If a single adult needed 2,700 back in 2016, imagine now fast forwarding 6 years later. I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;s increased.
Just last week, Human Resources Minister M. Saravanan revealed that the minimum wage increase will be placed &ldquo;soon&rdquo; instead of waiting till the end of the year. Although this is good, not everyone is keen on the increase such as the Malaysian Employers Federation (EPF) as they claim that this is only beneficial for foreign workers in the country.
For those who didn&rsquo;t know, the National Wages Council is required to review the minimum salary every two years and changed will be subjected based off discussions. Back in 2012, the minimum wage was set at RM900 and in 2020 a revision was made to hike it to RM1,200 in 56 cities and towns. Unfortunately, even with the hike, some cities had remained at RM1,100.
Sometimes, I&rsquo;m pretty sure a lot of people question the government on how they look at the price of minimum wage. They clearly know that prices of items are going up but how high can it go? Even our vegetables are expensive now. 
Aside from the increase in minimum wages, do you think the government should also look at the cost of items now as it&rsquo;s getting way too expensive. Let us know your thoughts!

The leading crypto exchange aims to expand the sustainable growth of the crypto market in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, MX Global aims to become a leading liquidity hub in the region and expand their market with their new partnership.
A thing to note is the difficulty to mitigate regulatory compliance requirements in different regions. Due to this, Binance had slew of partnerships and it reflects a pattern of sorts. Back in July 2021, crypto exchange services in Malaysia were restricted as the SC said that these exchanges could not comply with the regulatory laws.
Partnership helps to understand local regulatory approach
&ldquo;This is part of Binance&rsquo;s initiatives to cooperate with regulators. By working with regulated platforms, we are supporting local representatives to further expand their businesses while they stay compliant,&rdquo; said a spokesperson from Binance.
While Binance reopens in Malaysia and needs to comply with the regulatory laws, it&rsquo;s a while different ball game happening in Singapore. Binance had withdrew their crypto license application a week before announcing an 18% stake in the private stock exchange.

Even in the UK, Binance was banned but they have now managed access to the payment method after announcing their partnership with PaySafe.
Similarly, crypto exchange is suffering the same issue in Thailand as operations had shut down in July 2021. But in 2022, thanks to a partnership with the country&rsquo;s Gulf Energy Development PCL, they made a return into the Thai market.
Is it safe to trade with Biannce?
In short, yes it should be safe for you to trade your crypto with Binance.
Back in 2021, they faced an issue with regulatory warnings and service restrictions from many countries due to their regulations. But with the introduction of partnering with other third-party companies, they have finally mended their regulatory relationship with other countries.
Hopefully this round with proper partners, the trade for cryptocurrencies will be smooth. But the real question now is how stable will the crypto market be in the upcoming future? What&rsquo;s your opinion on this? Let us know in the comments!
