The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has introduced a rather eye-catching way to ensure Covid-19 SOPs compliance at Ramadhan bazaars this year. Get this, the city council is using an infrared headcount system to control the number of people coming into bazaars!

Currently being utilised at the bazaars in SS 6/1, Kelana Jaya and Section 4, Kota Damansara, the headcount system ensures that only two people are allowed to be at the same stall at one given time. With a limit of 30 stalls for each location, MBPJ set the maximum crowd capacity at 60 people at one time.

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has urged Telegram users in Malaysia to activate the messaging app's ‘two-step verification’ security pin setting. This is following a rampant syndicate that has hacked numerous Telegram accounts in our country since the start of the year.

According to Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Datuk Mohd Kamaruddin Md. Din, the modus operandi of the syndicate is to hack social media accounts and then pose as the person that they hacked. He revealed that a total of 314 cases of online fraud involving more than RM2 million were recorded from January to March 2022 alone.

The MySejahtera app has become a permanent fixture for us. It's a way for Malaysians and the government to track possible COVID-19 patients. Moreover, it records our vaccination status, which can be used when travelling.

The Finance Ministry (MOF) in a statement yesterday announced that around 2 million Malaysian youths will receive an RM150 e-wallet credit starting this mid-April. Part of the government’s ePemula scheme, those that are eligible include youths aged 18 to 20 as well as full-time students in higher learning institutions.

Furthermore, those eligible would get to enjoy the benefit through one of four e-wallet providers, which are BigPay, GrabPay, ShopeePay and Touch ’n Go. MOF said that the four e-wallet service providers have a network of 1.2 million retailers in Malaysia.

If you didn't notice, there is a new GOpinjam function in your Touch 'n Go (TnG) eWallet app. What might this do, you ask? Well, it's a new digital financial service to assist Malaysians with personal loaning online. As long as you have updated it to the latest version, GOpinjam offers personal loans from as low as RM100 to a maximum of RM10,000.

Today, Samsung Malaysia invited us to Putrajaya to test out the 5G network performance with the Galaxy S21 Ultra. If we are being honest, we weren't expecting anything too mindblowing since the 5G network is still at its infant stage. Nevertheless, we did a couple of tests to see the speed performance so here's what you need to know.

Although it has been quite some time already, Samsung Malaysia has finally confirmed that the Galaxy S21 series is now available for 5G connectivity. As long as Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra users update to the latest One UI 4.1 software update, they all can connect to 5G via the YES 5G SIM card.

While the COVID-19 cases dramatically increased in the past few weeks, the Malaysian Medical Association suggests that the QR code scanning feature that we use to check into places is no longer helpful. The president, Dr Koh Kar Chai, also said that it might be time to consider taking down the feature from the MySejahtera app.

The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) today revealed further details regarding the 2022 Special Withdrawal which allows members to withdraw up to RM10000. Taking to its official Facebook page, the statutory body revealed that only one single payment will be made to members under the scheme, starting from 20 April 2022.

To be eligible for the Special Withdrawal, members must be under 55 years old, a Malaysian citizen and have at least RM150 remaining in their EPF accounts. The scheme is available for non-Malaysian citizens too, including Permanent Residents.

An electric vehicle is a sustainable concept on paper but not everyone is on board yet. That said, Perodua already has the interest to manufacture electric vehicles at an affordable price and Proton may enter the phase as well.
