  Women bowled over by Grab Rider’s generosity
Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2021, 06:55 PM - Forum: Inspiring Stories - No Replies

PETALING JAYA: When Vijaya Kasinathan made her GrabFood order earlier this month, she made a mistake and then shrugged it off, not expecting the meal to come. Not only did her meal arrive, but it came with a side of kindness and compassion.

After ordering her dinner on her way out of Menara PGRM in Cheras, where she works, she realised once she arrived home in Bandar Kinrara that she had accidentally sent her dinner to her office address.

“When I realised what I’d done, I told the delivery boy not to worry and just keep the food,” she told FMT.

“But then he said he felt bad that I had nothing to eat that night and offered to send it all the way to my house, for free. I was bowled over.

“I told him that if he was still willing to come, to take care of his other orders first and only come when it was convenient.”

And yet, a little over half an hour later, he was at her door with the Madam Kwan’s she had ordered.

  Bitcoin ‘time to buy’ ad banned in the UK for being irresponsible
Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2021, 06:36 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

  • Posters for cryptocurrency exchange service Luno — shown across the London Underground network and on London buses this year — contained a cartoon image of a bitcoin with the words “If you’re seeing Bitcoin on the Underground, it’s time to buy.”
  • The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said that the ads must not appear again in their current form and that they failed to highlight the risks.
  • It has told Luno to ensure that its future marketing communications make “sufficiently clear that the value of investments in bitcoin was variable and could go down as well as up.”

LONDON — An advertising campaign telling people in the U.K. “it’s time to buy” bitcoin has been banned by the nation’s advertising regulator for being irresponsible and misleading.


Posters for cryptocurrency exchange service Luno — shown across the London Underground network and on London buses this year — contained a cartoon image of a bitcoin with the words “If you’re seeing Bitcoin on the Underground, it’s time to buy.”

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said Wednesday that the ads must not appear again in their current form and that they failed to highlight the risks.

  Will South-east Asia be swamped by Covid-19, like in South Asia?
Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2021, 11:50 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies

[Image: rk_thailand-vaccination_260521.jpg?itok=...1621996892]

SINGAPORE - Largely spared the brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic for most of last year, South-east Asia is now in the grip of a new wave of infections that is putting unprecedented pressure on healthcare systems and threatening to bring economies to their knees.

In Thailand, hospital beds are quickly filling up after infections, first seeded in some exclusive entertainment outlets in Bangkok, resulted in the country's highest-ever number of daily cases early last month. The number spiked again after Songkran, the Thai New Year.

Since then, the caseload has crept upwards and has more than quadrupled to nearly 135,000 as the authorities struggled to contain outbreaks in overcrowded prisons, markets and camps housing construction workers.

  one rural oasis shows how Singapore used to look

Away from its soaring skyscrapers and urban sprawl, one rural oasis shows how Singapore used to look

[Image: p09j85q4.jpg]

If you turn off the busy Yio Chu Kang road in north-eastern Singapore and follow a long, earthen path that winds and snakes for about 300m, you will find something of a time capsule. Nestled here, on three acres of verdant land, is Kampong Lorong Buangkok, Singapore's last surviving village, where remnants of the 1960s are alive and well. Little resembles modern-day Singapore's panorama of slick skyscrapers. Instead, the cluster of squat bungalows looks like a vintage postcard of the city's yesteryear.

The kampong – which means "village" in Malay – is a rural oasis in a city-state synonymous with urban sprawl. Roughly 25 archetypal wooden, single-storey dwellings with tin roofs are spread around a surau (small mosque). Forgotten flora that once covered Singapore before all the concrete – like the ketapang, a native coastal tree – grow freely. Nearby, power cables hang overhead, a rare sight since most have gone underground in the rest of the city. Elderly residents sit out on their verandas; chickens in their coops cluck endlessly away; and the chorus of chirping crickets and crowing roosters – the sounds of a bygone era – drown out the city's noise pollution and provide a soothing, bucolic soundtrack.

  You’re to blame if people are angry with Umno, Zahid told
Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2021, 09:13 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: ahmad-zahid-hamidi-fmt-280321-5.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: Two Umno leaders have told party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to take the blame for rising anger against party members serving in the federal Cabinet.

Padang Rengas MP Nazri Aziz and another high-ranking Umno leader said this was because Zahid had not instructed those ministers to quit the government, which is facing fierce criticism over its handling of Covid-19 and the economy.

Zahid has tried to defend Umno against the criticism, saying the party was not involved in making any policy and should, therefore, not be blamed or linked to the government’s failures.

However, some have argued that Umno men could be blamed for the worsening Covid-19 situation, slow vaccination rollout and half-baked lockdowns.
