            <title>Inheritance procedure</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5550457</link>
            <description>Care to share any experience? I&amp;#39;m type M&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently trying to help my dad&amp;#39;s family side in doing things. They die die want to do themselves rather than going to Amanahraya or appoint trustee to help managing it, citing costs. Judging by the conditions (their health issues, kematian berlapis, involving plenty other waris, unsolved land issues etc) me and my mom are in favor of going thru Amanahraya but my dad and his stubborn way disagreed. Thing is, currently I&amp;#39;m the one who have to help doing it like prepare docs, driving around with him etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not much progress at the moment, plenty of uncertainties and confusion with docs, wordings and procedures. Currently are dealing with both mahkamah syariah and JKPTG trying to settle a pusaka kecil matters before trying to deal with the larger issues. Even now I&amp;#39;m anxious about whether the things we&amp;#39;re doing is correct and worry things are rejected causing further delays and whether need to redo other things like angkat sumpah again since it&amp;#39;s now involving some other waris. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone experienced applying with Myland before?&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Budi95 quota increased to 800L</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5545157</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2025/11/04/anwar-announces-800l-budi95-quota-for-e-hailing-drivers-adds-airport-taxis-to-scheme/197118' target='_blank'&gt;Anwar announces 800L Budi95 quota for e-hailing drivers, adds airport taxis to scheme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday, 04 Nov 2025 10:39 AM MYT&lt;br /&gt;KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today announced an increased monthly fuel quota of 800 litres for full-time e-hailing drivers under the Budi Madani RON95 (Budi95) initiative, also expanding the subsidy to include airport taxis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat, Anwar said the decision to raise the e-hailing quota from the previous 600 litres was made after receiving feedback that the amount was inadequate for drivers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Therefore, the government has agreed to increase the Budi95 eligibility limit for e-hailing drivers to 800 litres per month,” he said, adding that this was equivalent to a travel distance of about 5,000km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The announcement marks the second increase for the scheme this year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On October 13, the government had already raised the quota for nearly 58,000 e-hailing drivers from 300 litres to 600 litres per month</description>

The Portugal international’s contract at Al-Nassr was set to expire this summer and he fuelled speculation that he could depart with a cryptic social media post. After Al-Nassr&amp;#39;s last Saudi Pro League game, Ronaldo wrote on Instagram: &amp;quot;This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.&amp;quot; That was interpreted as Ronaldo saying goodbye to Al-Nassr and he had offers to join other clubs for the Club World Cup. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ronaldo, however, has committed his future to Al-Nassr in an eye-watering deal that will ensure &lt;b&gt;he remains the highest paid player in the world.&lt;/b&gt; Following an announcement on Thursday, the Saudi club confirmed that Ronaldo has agreed terms on a two-year extension that will see him &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;net around €185 million annually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; It was reported in Marca earlier this year that Ronaldo&amp;#39;s deal will equate to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;€15m per month, €3.8m per week and €550k per day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; But it has been reported that Ronaldo will also be offered a minority ownership in Al-Nassr to signify his importance to the project and the Real Madrid and Manchester United legend will also have an input into which players they sign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Al-Nassr&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview at the Globe Soccer Awards in December, Ronaldo hinted that he could own a club in the future. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not a coach,” he said. “I&amp;#39;m never going to be a coach, president of the club? No. Maybe the owner of the club.If I will be the owner of the club, I will make things clear and adjust what I think is bad there.&amp;quot; Ronaldo has increased the profile of the Saudi Pro League significantly more than any other player and he’s already been influential in major decisions at Al-Nassr but he&amp;#39;s yet to win a major trophy with the club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Ronaldo&amp;#39;s impending acquisition of an ownership stake at Al-Nassr is an indication of his future intentions in football, the 39-year-old isn’t quite ready to hang up his boots.&lt;b&gt; Ronaldo’s target is to score 1,000 professional goals&lt;/b&gt; but he’s even accepted himself recently that may not be obtainable. Speaking in November, Ronaldo said: “One thousand goals is great, but if it doesn&amp;#39;t come, I&amp;#39;m already the player in history with the most goals.&amp;quot; Ronaldo has scored at an impressive rate at Al-Nassr with 93 goals in 105 games but he’d realistically need to play for several more seasons to reach the 1,000 landmark and that looks very unlikely after celebrating his 40th birthday in February. &lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;200mln per year&lt;br /&gt;16,5mln per month&lt;br /&gt;4mln per week&lt;br /&gt;550k per day&lt;br /&gt;23k per hour&lt;br /&gt;384 per minute&lt;br /&gt;6 per sec&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine waking up and before you finish your coffee you already made 1.5k&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you go to work you already got 20-30k.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gym after work? 40k on your bank acc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day over and you are half way to become millionaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insane money man</description>

            <title>Telegram now shares users’ IP and phone number</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5484563</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/telegram-now-shares-users-ip-and-phone-number-on-legal-requests/' target='_blank'&gt;Telegram now shares users’ IP and phone number on legal requests&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Sergiu Gatlan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Telegram will now share users&amp;#39; phone numbers and IP addresses with law enforcement if they are found to be violating the platform&amp;#39;s rules following a valid legal request.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a newly updated privacy policy announced by CEO Pavel Durov on Monday, Telegram will comply with such requests only after receiving a valid court order confirming that the user is a suspect in a criminal case that breaches the platform&amp;#39;s Terms of Service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously, Telegram&amp;#39;s policy limited sensitive user information sharing to cases involving terror suspects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;If Telegram receives a valid order from the relevant judicial authorities that confirms you&amp;#39;re a suspect in a case involving criminal activities that violate the Telegram Terms of Service, we will perform a legal analysis of the request and may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities,&amp;quot; Durov said today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;If any data is shared, we will include such occurrences in a quarterly transparency report published at: &lt;a href='https://t.me/transparency.&amp;quot;' target='_blank'&gt;https://t.me/transparency.&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Telegram&amp;#39;s transparency submissions bot is not yet functional. A message stating, &amp;quot;We are updating this bot with current data. Please come back within the next few days,&amp;quot; implies that Telegram is still working on bringing it online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durov also revealed that Telegram had improved its search feature, which is known for widespread abuse to sell and promote illegal goods. He said a dedicated team has been working over the last few weeks to remove problematic content from the platform&amp;#39;s search results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Users are urged to report illegal or unsafe material through the @SearchReport bot, and Telegram claims that a moderator team will review all reports of search terms that can be used to find illegal content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;These measures should discourage criminals. Telegram Search is meant for finding friends and discovering news, not for promoting illegal goods,&amp;quot; Durov added today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We won&amp;#39;t let bad actors jeopardize the integrity of our platform for almost a billion users.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The move comes after Durov, the Russian-born founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested in France in connection with an investigation into Telegram&amp;#39;s use for fraud, drug trafficking, and illegal content distribution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was released on bail days later but instructed not to leave the country because French authorities were still investigating him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, Ukraine&amp;#39;s National Coordination Centre for Cybersecurity (NCCC) also banned Telegram on all devices used within government agencies, military units, and critical infrastructure, citing national security concerns.</description>

            <title>Be prepared to subscribe to your PC mouse next</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5474025</link>
            <description>TLDR important points as quoted&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;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.theverge.com/24206847/logitech-ceo-hanneke-faber-mouse-keyboard-gaming-decoder-podcast-interview' target='_blank'&gt;Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants your next mouse to last forever&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hanneke says that people often say “the mouse built this house” inside Logitech, which is a delightful catchphrase I’d never heard before. From there, we talked about how new interface paradigms like voice and AI might upend mice and keyboards and how she’s thinking about the company’s long-term future in a world where traditional PC sales might go down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, we talked about whether anyone wants their mouse to be anything more than a mouse — Logitech is adding AI features and even AI buttons to some of its products, and I wanted to know if that’s working. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You’ll hear Hanneke talk about a concept called the “forever mouse,” or a mouse you buy once and upgrade over time with new software features — features that, of course, might carry a subscription fee. Subscription mice&amp;#33; It’s a lot.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;&lt;b&gt;It certainly will help with sustainability. There are two ways people have traditionally proposed monetizing hardware over time. It’s subscription fees and it’s advertising. Is there a third way that I don’t know about that you’re thinking of?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;b&gt;No. The third way is the traditional model of “we innovate and we have you upgrade.” That’s the current model. And we’re pretty damn good at that model because we have pretty damn good innovators around the company who do come up with fabulous products. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;That is definitely the model today. It’s not a bad model at all, especially since we’re continuing to design for more sustainable products. We’re continuing to recycle and refurbish products. All of that is good. But that said, I am intrigued by a forever mouse or forever video conferencing solution that you just update with software and create a business model around that.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I’m going to ask this very directly. Can you envision a subscription mouse?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Possibly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;And that would be the forever mouse?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yeah.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;So you pay a subscription for software updates to your mouse.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yeah, and you never have to worry about it again, which is not unlike our video conferencing services today.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;But it’s a mouse.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;b&gt;But it’s a mouse, yeah.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I think consumers might perceive those to be very different. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;b&gt;[Laughs] Yes, but it’s gorgeous. Think about it like a diamond-encrusted mouse.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

Bundle packages are also sold, with a “free gift” for purchasing a pack of five sticks.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sticks seen advertised online have either a single inhaler or double-pronged inhalers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some social media users even do reviews and tutorials showing how to use the sticks, just as you would expect from any normal product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, these are not “normal products”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Health director-general Datuk Dr Muhammad Radzi Abu Hassan said these products&lt;b&gt; have not been registered with the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency as required by the Sale of Drugs Act 1952.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who sell unregistered health products are in breach of Rule 7(1) (a) of the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984. Those found guilty face a fine of up to RM25,000 or up to three years’ jail or both for the first offence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Muhammad Radzi said advertisements for the products will be taken down from popular ecommerce platforms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ads are compelling for stressed young students – “If you’re always sleepy, buy this,” read the caption on one of the posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sellers make all sorts of claims about the energy sticks, that they can reduce anxiety and stress and help users to relax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A majority of the sticks sold online are imported from China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;One China-based seller claims that the product “has no prohibited items” such as alcohol or nicotine, instead offering products infused with “edible menthol and plant essential oils”; almost 11,000 units have been sold, according to site figures. Another seller said their product contained hemp.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some sellers who spoke to The Star said that sales were only done online, though one person said his stock comes from headquarters in Penang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 47-year-old woman who only wanted to be known as Nina said her 17-year-old daughter had asked for an energy stick after seeing friends use them at her school and tuition centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I was worried because I didn’t know what it was. Then I Googled it and it looked quite worrying,” said the mother of two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I am worried that it may cause health issues as it is unregulated and we don’t know what the contents are. And children may turn to vaping or drugs in the future after trying this,” she added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said her daughter’s school had confiscated some energy sticks from students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Consumers Association of Penang senior education officer NV Subbarow, the flavours advertised could be appealing to children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said he has received many complaints from parents and teachers on the use of these “energy sticks”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“One of the students who bought these sticks told me that students preferred using the energy stick to vaping as it gave some sort of stimulation and they felt more energetic,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subbarow called for both the Health and Education ministries to take action on the matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The future of Malaysian children’s health is in question,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (Fomca) chief executive officer Saravanan Thambirajah said the products should not be sold as their functions have not been tested or certified by any agencies in Malaysia, adding that they have not been medically proven either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said the government must take the necessary actions immediately to stop all social media platforms selling these items and to take the advertisements down immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Extensive enforcement has to be done on the ground. At the ports, the government has to ramp up security and checkpoints to ensure these products are not brought into the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If this (product) is not curbed, we have another issue of addiction to chemicals,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Fomca also advises consumers and children not to be taken in by misleading advertisements,” Saravanan said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He called on the Health Ministry to work hand-in-hand with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry to identify where the items are being sold so immediate action can be taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ecommerce platforms must also have some sort of responsibility towards consumers. If they see such products being sold there, they should take action on their own and remove them from the platform,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Efforts to contact ecommerce platforms are underway.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;got tried this?</description>
