Users need to verify their age using government-issued documents such as identity cards, passports or other official documents.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If it is merely self-declared, anyone can simply click and claim they are above 18-years-old,” she told reporters after officiating the Safe Internet Campaign Community Carnival here on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teo said MCMC, however, had not prescribed any specific technology that platforms must use for the age verification process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to her, the government will provide a reasonable period for social media platforms to implement the age verification process for existing accounts before enforcement action is taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;“For existing accounts that have yet to complete age verification, MCMC is still discussing a reasonable timeframe after engaging with the involved social media platforms, including TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Those who fail to complete verification may have their accounts closed, or the social media platforms may need to use artificial intelligence to ensure users are aged 16 and above,” she said.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teo said the government had previously decided that children under the age of 16 were not allowed to open or own social media accounts on platforms with more than eight million users in Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said the two codes were published following engagement sessions with industry players, civil society organisations and stakeholders conducted since the beginning of this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier, in her speech, Teo said that from January to April this year alone, a total of 23,367 online scam cases were reported involving losses amounting to RM680.3 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said that since the Safe Internet Campaign was launched in January 2025 until April 30 this year, more than 11,000 programmes had been carried out nationwide involving over 1.8 million participants comprising school students, youths, parents, educators, senior citizens and local communities.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lolyat kena or not?</description>

(Facebook pic)&lt;br /&gt;PETALING JAYA: The new Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief’s update on the Arm Holdings case has confirmed that his predecessor, Azam Baki, jumped the gun on the probe into the RM1.1 billion investment deal, says a government MP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan pointed out that MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman had said the case was still active while the investigation was far from complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means Azam’s recommendation to file charges against two people over the case was premature and careless, said the DAP vice-chairman.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“(Azam’s) statement was made while MACC was still in the midst of questioning former minister Rafizi Ramli. Questions arose at the time as to how MACC could already recommend charges when the investigation itself was incomplete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Halim’s statement proved that investigations are ongoing and that more information is required, including from people abroad. So how could Azam recommend filing charges when investigations are still ongoing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Azam’s premature statement is a good example of the turmoil the commission is embroiled in,” he said in a Facebook post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesterday, Halim said MACC is seeking mutual legal assistance to obtain statements from several people in Taiwan and the UK regarding the RM1.1 billion deal involving the economy ministry and the UK-based semiconductor firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halim, who took over as MACC chief on May 13, added that the probe might take some time since it involved two other jurisdictions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MACC had recorded statements from 26 people in its probe, including Rafizi and his former aide, James Chai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Syahredzan said Azam’s premature statements only contributed to the already-severe trust deficit plaguing the anti-graft agency, despite Malaysia’s improved standing in the annual corruption perceptions index.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As an anti-corruption agency, MACC’s reputation should be completely untarnished,” he maintained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DAP MP nonetheless said Halim’s transparency was a “good start” to restoring public confidence in MACC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Under its new leadership, MACC must ensure it no longer takes any action that could erode public confidence and it must rebuild its credibility day by day.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The post:&lt;br /&gt;[fb]https://www.facebook.com/SyahredzanJohan/posts/pfbid0oPchqtNyRPGKZvnEBaCDHoZThKoEaCxGWNjADbSoAafHTS9PMKTQZLWnHP8qr9Jol[/fb]&lt;br /&gt;</description>

Work feels very tiring,” he wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wondered if RM110K could last him until old age&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man said he began wondering whether the combined RM110,000 he now has would be enough for him to live on until his 70s if he chose to retire now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He explained that he does not plan to start a family or live a luxurious lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to him, he would be satisfied living simply by cooking his own meals and keeping his expenses low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he also questioned whether the money would truly be enough for the next 40 years, especially if he ends up living longer than expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While entertaining the idea of retirement, the man said he may still look for lighter part-time jobs in the future to slowly earn and save more money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His post quickly drew attention online, with many netizens pointing out that RM100,000 would likely not be sufficient to sustain someone for decades, especially with rising living costs and inflation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Wow, with inflation nowadays, RM100k is definitely not enough for retirement. In a few years, or if anything unexpected happens, the money could disappear very quickly 🥺🥺🥺 Don’t underestimate inflation 😭😭”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“RM100k is not as much as you think.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This kid has probably never seen much money before.

I am still looking for the best way to survive due to rising costs every year, while on the other hand, earnings have decreased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;At times, the income is even negative. I &lt;u&gt;need RM35,000 to RM40,000 a month. It means we need 10 to 15 patients a day,&lt;/u&gt;&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Luqman said he was forced to take out a personal loan to cover operating costs, in addition to rising medicine prices and the minimum wage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that he was not spared from doing side jobs, including driving e-hailing vehicles and working as a locum doctor at other clinics to supplement his income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked about his plans, he said he did not rule out the possibility of switching careers if the situation does not change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said his &lt;u&gt;alternative plan would be to enter the insurance or sales sector.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;If there is no government intervention to help empower private clinics, I expect to need an exit plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;GPs do not operate just to make a profit, and we are not second-class doctors, but instead are the backbone and are ready to help and empower the health service system,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another GP, who wanted to be known only as Dr Jay Chay, said he left the government service in June last year due to a lack of work-life balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then entered into a joint venture with a company to open a private clinic in Sepang, Selangor, holding a 49 per cent stake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he said he still struggles to meet the revenue target for the clinic, as most patients prefer to purchase their own medication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Jay said the &lt;u&gt;income earned by the clinic usually only covers about 60 per cent of its operational costs.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I also face a problem when most patients who come prefer to bring their own medication bought through social media, which does not have Health Ministry approval.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another related news today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2026/05/1432482/over-70pct-private-gp-clinics-struggling-stay-afloat-says-mma' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2026/05/...afloat-says-mma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Over 70pct of private GP clinics struggling to stay afloat, says MMA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 70 per cent of these GP clinics are recorded to have incomes below RM60,000 per month, leaving them struggling to continue operations. - NSTP FILE PIC, AI-generated image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;KUALA LUMPUR: Rising costs and an influx of general practitioners (GPs) have left most of the country&amp;#39;s 10,000 private clinics struggling to stay afloat due to a drop in patient numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, over 70 per cent of these GP clinics are recorded to have incomes below RM60,000 per month, leaving them struggling to continue operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These findings were identified by the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) in a study involving nearly 2,000 clinics nationwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MMA president Datuk Dr R. Thirunavukarasu said that based on the findings, the Health Ministry has been urged to ease congestion at government clinics by referring basic health cases to GP clinics to help empower their services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that, according to the MMA study, about &lt;span style='color:red'&gt;21.1 per cent, or 380 clinics, earn less than RM20,000 a month&lt;/span&gt;; &lt;span style='color:purple'&gt;32.4 per cent (583 clinics) earn between RM20,000 and RM39,999&lt;/span&gt;; and &lt;span style='color:orange'&gt;18.4 per cent (332 clinics) earn between RM40,000 and RM59,999.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;This is the level where clinic operations face many challenges to their sustainability due to rising operating costs and increased regulatory burdens, alongside competition from unregulated online services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;If the various issues that have plagued them for over 20 years are not taken seriously by the ministry, we are concerned that more clinics will close, which could collapse the private primary healthcare system in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We do not have official data on the number of clinic closures, but it is expected to involve hundreds,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same time, Dr Thirunavukarasu said only &lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;&lt;b&gt;17.8 per cent of clinics enjoy a comfortable monthly income exceeding RM80,000.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To date, there are more than 10,000 private clinics operating nationwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said there was a significant increase in private clinics after the Covid-19 pandemic, caused by the termination of contract doctors and the lack of a clear career path for medical professionals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The struggle with income among GP clinic doctors is related to the contract system and the lack of a clear career path provided by the ministry previously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The heavy workload among young doctors causes them to tend to leave the public service and take the risk of opening clinics and building careers as GPs because they feel unappreciated,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said he expects the situation to improve following the ministry&amp;#39;s gazetting of the amendment to the Seventh Schedule under the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Regulations 2006, which took effect on April 2, regarding consultation fees that have not been revised since 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We express our gratitude to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad for his continuous involvement, proving that primary care is not merely rhetoric but a priority,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, Dr Thirunavukarasu said of greater concern is the interference of Third-Party Administrators (TPA) or insurance companies that restrict treatments, an issue that has persisted for a long time without any regulatory policy for GPs over the past 20 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;In terms of policy, the ministry also faces challenges where regulation is only enforced on the administrative aspects of private clinics rather than empowering GPs in the same way as public health clinics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;GPs are not included in the ministry&amp;#39;s governance, particularly regarding the development of GPs. To resolve this issue, the policy must be correct, and there must be a specific policy for the development of private clinics,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said GPs have been increasingly squeezed since 2015, especially with commercial stakeholders pushing for the separation of consultation and medication dispensing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Even worse, many advertisements on social media show clinic premises being sold to other parties because doctors can no longer afford to sustain operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The MMA previously proposed that doctors in the public service be assigned to health clinics and emergency wards to help facilitate their career paths,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He claimed that private clinics are also excessively regulated by the authorities concerning issues such as the size of treatment rooms, toilets, and doors, while at the same time, medical services such as tele-clinics and pharmacies do not face the same strict regulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

Vinod juga menyiarkan gambar Presiden PKR itu bersama dia dan isterinya, Winny Yeap.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Alangkah besarnya penghormatan yang luar biasa apabila rakan lama dan abang saya, Anwar, singgah melawat kami. Hari itu adalah hari Wesak, jadi kami semua berada di rumah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Rasanya seperti baru semalam kali terakhir dia berada di rumah kami beberapa hari sebelum pemenjaraannya yang tidak masuk akal dan direka-reka secara politik,” tulis ahli perniagaan itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dia berkata Anwar menghabiskan masa selama dua jam bersama keluarga itu dengan “berbual dan ketawa tanpa henti”.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiga bulan kemudian – pada 17 Ogos 2018 – Vinod berkongsi satu lagi gambar dia bersama Anwar dalam satu catatan di Instagram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pemimpin PKR itu, yang memakai anduh, melawat Vinod yang sedang dalam proses pulih daripada serangan jantung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Saya semakin kuat dari sehari ke sehari, tetapi jantung saya berhenti seketika dan tulang rusuk saya retak telah memperlahankan saya sedikit sebanyak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tetapi ia adalah satu rangsangan sebenar apabila rakan, abang dan PM saya yang seterusnya, Anwar, singgah melawat lewat untuk memastikan saya melakukan apa yang diberitahu oleh Winny dan gadis-gadis itu,” tulis Vinod.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Akses ke pejabat presiden&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain lawatan peribadi, Vinod juga berkongsi gambar dia bersama Ahli Parlimen Sungai Buloh ketika itu, R Sivarasa, semasa berkempen untuk Anwar kembali ke parlimen melalui pilihan raya kecil kawasan parlimen Port Dickson pada Sept 2018.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anwar kemudian muncul sebagai pemenang di kerusi yang dikosongkan oleh Danyal Balagopal Abdullah dari PKR, sekali gus menyaksikan ahli politik kanan itu kembali ke Dewan Rakyat sebagai ketua pembangkang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beberapa tahun kemudian, pada Mac 2021, Anwar menyiarkan ucapan takziahnya kepada Vinod di Facebook selepas ibu ahli perniagaan terbabit meninggal dunia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Menziarahi rakan baik saya, Vinod, yang ibunya yang tersayang meninggal dunia malam tadi.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Mendiang Sukumari Sekhar ialah isteri kepada bekas pengerusi Institut Penyelidikan Getah Malaysia, BC Sekhar,&amp;quot; kata Anwar, yang turut disertai oleh isterinya, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enam bulan sebelumnya – pada permulaan pandemik Covid-19 pula – Anwar terbang ke Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, untuk meluncurkan sebuah portal berita dalam talian, The Vibes, yang dimulakan oleh Kumpulan Petra milik Vinod.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kemudian pada 2022, semakan Malaysiakini menunjukkan Vinod adalah antara segelintir individu yang mempunyai akses ke pejabat Presiden PKR di Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya, tempat para pemimpin parti berkumpul pada waktu-waktu menjelang sesi angkat sumpah rasmi perdana menteri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vinod kemudiannya dilihat hadir di sidang akhbar pertama Anwar sebagai perdana menteri, yang diadakan di Rumah Kelab Sungai Long, Kajang, pada 24 Nov 2022. Ia diadakan sejurus selepas upacara angkat sumpah di hadapan Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sejak kebelakangan ini, Vinod juga telah bercakap secara terbuka tentang hubungan rapatnya dengan Anwar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam ucapan selamat hari lahir kepada Anwar pada 10 Ogos tahun lalu ahli perniagaan terbabit menulis mesej panjang lebar yang memperincikan betapa dia mengagumi Anwar sebagai seorang &amp;quot;rakan&amp;quot; yang didakwanya telah dikenali selama 45 tahun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam laporan yang diterbitkan di The Vibes dan halaman Facebooknya, Vinod mengimbau kembali zaman dia berpihak kepada Anwar walaupun ia bukan tindakan yang popular namun “ia betul&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bercakap di audio siar The Good Cast Show di YouTube, Vinod mendedahkan bahawa isterinya telah menulis sebuah buku bertajuk Electing Anwar bagi menceritakan pengalamannya sebagai &amp;quot;lalat di dinding&amp;quot; yang &amp;quot;melihat semua yang berlaku&amp;quot; semasa pilihan raya dan fasa pascapilihan raya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Saya fikir (buku itu) adalah penghormatan yang penuh kasih sayang... kepada cabaran yang dihadapi keluarga saya dalam menyokong seorang lelaki selama 25 tahun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Semua yang kami lalui... kami bermain dalam membantu menyusun strategi kenaikan pangkat Anwar,&amp;quot; kata Vinod dalam episod itu, yang disiarkan pada 22 Ogos tahun lalu.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/772966' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/772966&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Anwar nafi kaitan, mohon batal sepina kes sivil ahli perniagaan&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
