 KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 — Touched by the suffering of Sabahan due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Malaysian fans of K-pop superstars BTS have come together to raise funds for them. The fans, who call themselves Army, managed to raise some RM20,000 after the call for donations was made via social media. According to one of the organisers Nur Amarlyna Najua Zainuri, she managed to raise RM9,000 that were later distributed to non-governmental organisations in Sabah. “Recently, I saw a video of an uncle in Sabah who was chasing a boat as he has no food. I pitied him and started reading up on the situation there.” “Initially, I wanted to raise money from among friends but when others found out about the fundraising, they too wanted to chip in,” she said. Speaking to Malay portal mStar, Amarlyna said she managed to raise the sum in a week. The 28-year-old manufacturing executive said their fundraising effort was a reflection of the social work done by BTS globally. Aware of negative perceptions c...

Kuala Lumpur : Penyanyi Drama Band, Aepul Roza menyifatkan nyanyian bakat baharu, Nuha Bahrin yang bertanding dalam program Vokal Mania, Ahad lalu umpama dia sedang bermain gimnastik dan akrobatik di gelanggang yang salah. Aepul ketika dihubungi berkata, dia berasa wajar untuk tampil memberi teguran kepada Nuha supaya penyanyi itu boleh memperbaiki kesilapan untuk menjadi penyanyi yang bagus pada masa depan.  "Macam gimnastik saya dengar dia buat (menyanyi) lagu itu. Jadi, kalau tidak ditegur sekarang apa yang berlaku depan mata, bagi saya ini satu tanggungjawab. Sebagai pemain pentas, kita selaku penyanyi kena utamakan penonton kerana mereka adalah segalanya. "Kita kena sampaikan cerita dalam sebuah lagu itu melalui rasa. Ia tidak semestinya kita kena menyanyi notasi yang tepat, hebat dan susah, baru cerita dalam lagu itu dapat disampaikan," katanya kepada Harian Metro. Menurut Aepul, dia sendiri jarang menukar notasi dari susunan muzik asal sehingga jalan cerita lagi i...

It’s commonly said that it takes money to make money. That is effectively true – those who live payslip to payslip with no spare cash have little to re-invest or save for emergency. However, if you take the time to re-evaluate your finances, you’ll realise that setting aside even the smallest of Ringgit amounts can add up over a lifetime.  Remember these 3 numbers – 50/30/20  It’s simple in principle and practice:  Use up to 50% of your income for what you need  Allow for up to 30% to spend on the fun stuff  Save 20% for emergency, invest or your savings goal.  These numbers aren’t necessarily fixed; however, they provide a strong foundation for building healthy financial habits to help you to set your workable ratio based life condition to achieve your financial goals.  Pay yourself first  When you get your paycheck, many people make the mistake of spending first, and then saving what is left over. The problem with this is that it doesn’t guarant...

 It’s more important than ever to have emergency savings. Let’s do it. How much do you need? It’s important to build up an emergency savings fund to prepare for the unexpected, whether that’s your car breaking down or a drop in income. A rough guide for the ideal sum to have saved is the amount you’d need to cover three months’ essential outgoings. So, if you spend RM1,500 a month on mortgage or rent, food, bills and other things you can’t live without, aim for RM4,500 in emergency savings. But if this figure seems unrealistic, don’t be daunted by it. Even having just a small amount saved can help you avoid taking on debt if you face unexpected costs. How much can you save? Work out how much you can afford to save each month. Go through your income and spending, there are many useful budget planners in app store (just search for “budget planner” for example). See where you can cut back like if you can save on bills, for example, could you cut the cost of your phone bill by switchin...

To keep it simple, imagine you are selling products from home but all the logistics and inventory are managed by someone else for free. You don’t even have to touch the goods to sell them! All the packaging and shipping duties (as well as costs) will be handled by your supplier. Sounds too good to be true? Well, fortunately, there is a time-tested business model built around this idea and proven to be more than reliable. These are the core principles of the so-called dropshipping business model. Dropshipping means you simply set up your online store, fill it with the information on the products you’d like to sell from home, and transfer the incoming orders to the original product supplier. It’s that easy. As we said, your supplier manages the orders and ships them out directly to your customers. Starting with the essentials, of course, you need an idea. Your business will revolve around your idea of what products you choose to sell, what approach you’d take to market your products, and...

She grabbed a pair of scissors and began to scrape the wax off her apple. I was super confused watching the white solid parts, crumble on her lap. The story goes like this… Once apples are picked, they are washed, ready for the supermarkets. This process removes the natural wax of an apple. Since the waxy layer prevents moisture in the apple from escaping, this also shortens the storage time for the apple. Because of this, the apple is sprayed with a thin layer of wax to prevent the apple from drying up and being attacked by fungi. The wax layer also makes the apple look more appealing, ready to be sold in supermarkets. Next time you pick up an apple, try it! By Aishah Hannan | www.quora.com
