PETALING JAYA: Following an unusual spike in Covid-19 cases, the government has imposed a lockdown in two townships in Simpang Renggam, Johor beginning midnight tonight, with some 3,500 residents told to stay home at all times and all business activities ordered to close.

The two areas are Kampung Dato Ibrahim Majid and Bandar Baharu Dato Ibrahim Majid, both located in Simpang Renggam, Kluang,

Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the move, dubbed Enhanced Movement Control Order, will last until April 9.

He said the drastic move was approved by the Ministry of Health after 61 of the 83 cases reported in Kluang were found to have originated from the two areas.

Ismail said throughout the 12-day lockdown, authorities will distribute basic food and necessities with the help of the Social Welfare Department to some 650 families.

Robert Mugabe dead at 95

BluePants — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 14:12:45 +0800

Am I fastpoke?
in b4 Thanos time coming soon.

Robert Mugabe, a hero of Africa’s independence struggle whose long rule in Zimbabwe descended into tyranny, corruption and incompetence, has died at the age of 95, president Emmerson Mnangagwa has said.

In a statement early on Friday, Mnangagwa called Mugabe “an icon of liberation, a pan-Africanist who dedicated his life to the emancipation and empowerment of his people. His contribution to the history of our nation and continent will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”

The passing of the former president, who ruled Zimbabwe for close to four decades before being ousted in a military takeover in November 2017, marks the definitive end of an era in the history of the former British colony.

Mugabe is believed to have died in Singapore, where he made frequent visits to receive medical care in recent months as his health deteriorated. As far back as November 2018, Mnangagwa, who took over from him as president, told members of the ruling Zanu-PF party that Mugabe could no longer walk.
From liberation fighter to deposed leader – Robert Mugabe's life in pictures

Though once widely celebrated for his role in fighting the white supremacist regime in his homeland, Mugabe had long become a deeply divisive figure in his own country and across the continent.

His final years in power were characterised by financial collapse, surges of violent intimidation and a vicious internal power struggle pitting his wife Grace, 41 years younger, against Mnangagwa, his former righthand man.

The rivalry was resolved when Mnangagwa, a Zanu-PF stalwart, took power when Mugabe reluctantly resigned after a military takeover. The news of his decision prompted widespread rejoicing.

My list of grievances with Android OS

BluePants — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 15:25:02 +0800

1. When resetting the phone, got to wait 10 seconds before button is enabled. Then another 10 seconds for 2nd button to be enabled.
2. No proper way to backup the phone to computer.
3. Cloud backup is slow and inconsistent, so many stuff missing.
4. Built in apps (gmail, youtube, maps, etc) are not backed up and when restored it's an outdated version. So got to update one by one.
5. When erasing DNS, it goes back to 8.8.8.8 if you backspace all the way. So got to type new DNS then only delete old.
6. No way to reset network settings only.
7. Tapping on connected wifi displays QR code and increases screen brightness to blinding levels, but there's only a tiny button to enter the wifi menu.
8. Once an apps is downloaded, a pop up appears and scan is run, distracting you from the app you were using. This happens for each app you download.
9. Every little useless notification has a sound. Plug in USB and it sends a notification that I plugged in USB and plays a sound. Then tap on file transfer and it plays another sound.
10. Once you're in sub menus of Settings, switch apps and go back to Settings, it goes to main Settings and you have to navigate again to where you were.
11. When using Google Maps, even after killing off all apps and locking the phone, navigation is still running.
12. Any minor changes you make, got to key in PIN, as if Android so secure.
13. Every app requests for permission. Default camera app asks permission to access camera.
14. Other general annoyances.

What I can conclude is, compared to iOS, Android is very unrefined and they have no clue how to make interfaces that are user friendly.

Remember this ice cream?

BluePants — Thu, 23 May 2019 18:25:10 +0800

Last night I dreamt about this ice cream. Over 10 years ago I bought it from Cold Storage. Today I checked, they don't sell it anymore. Where can I get it? No, Tesco none.
