Yup, you read the headline correctly. We aren't kidding with this latest 5G analysis report by Opensignal. It was only published yesterday and we are just as surprised as you to find out that Kuala Lumpur is in second place in terms of 5G download speed (Mbps). The charts are based on Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC)'s biggest cities. 

airasia food today announced the launch of its brand new intercity food delivery service that allows users to enjoy their all-time favourite delicacies from around the country, air-flown and delivered directly to their doorsteps. The first service of its kind in Malaysia, it is available for selected areas in Klang Valley starting 15 August and involves popular cuisines air-flown directly from Penang.

We are almost in the middle of August and there's still no official news from any telcos that they have signed on Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB)'s 5G single wholesale network. Initially, our Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa said they have agreed but it seems that Maxis and U Mobile may miss out.

After some accidental publishing of web pages for Apple Pay support by the banks, Apple has finally officially announced that the payment service is now in Malaysia. The service will work with Visa and Mastercard cards from banks including AmBank, Maybank, and Standard Chartered Bank, while American Express will be added to the list later this year.

As some of you already know, Maybank and Ambank have officially launched their Apple Pay service. But are there any other banks? Well, yes albeit only one at the moment which is Standard Chartered bank. 

That's right, the Ministry of Transport will be taking charge of the p-hailing industry. Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong informed the media just recently, as the purview initiative is to ensure better goods and good delivery services and regulations under the government.

Earlier today, AmBank published a web page revealing its support for Apple Pay. However, due to unknown reasons, it has been taken down. Until now, Maybank goes through the same thing by publishing a web page dedicated to the payment service and deleting it afterwards.

Apple Pay is increasingly appearing a lot more lately. Just last week, users spotted the feature promotion coming soon on Shopee and Maxis, then now it was on Ambank's website. Initially, Ambank did tease Apple Pay a few weeks ago via SMS but now, the web portal that was up had already been taken down.

Today, Meta released its second quarter Adversarial Threat Report 2022 and we found a few interesting details. In the summary key findings, they shared their findings about Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour (CIB) operations found in Malaysia and another in Russia. Obviously, we are going to talk about Malaysia's case so grab some popcorn and read on below.

As most Malaysians know by now, inflation has caused a spike in Grab prices. A number of GrabFood drivers have also complained their pay was cut by the company and this goes the same for Foodpanda delivery partners too. That said, the drivers are planning to go on a strike tomorrow (5 August 2022) for 24 hours.
