<h2>Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has claimed that Taylor Swift&#8217;s decision to make <a href="https://says.com/my/entertainment/malaysians-react-taylor-swift-performing-singapore-none-malaysia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Singapore the sole stop</a> in the Southeast Asian region for her ongoing _The Eras Tour_ was due to an exclusive deal</h2>

<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/arts-and-entertainment/2743369">Bangkok Post</a>, Srettha said the global concert promoter, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), informed him that the Singaporean government had allegedly signed an exclusive deal with Swift.</p>
<p>AEG allegedly informed him that the Singaporean government financially supported Swift&#8217;s concerts, <b>offering between USD2 million (RM9.5 million) and USD3 million (RM14.3 million) per show in exchange for exclusivity in Southeast Asia</b>.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I had known this, I would have brought the shows to Thailand,&#8221; said Srettha last Friday, 16 February.</p>

<h2>The prime minister explained that an exclusive deal with Swift was worth the cost, considering it would draw foreign concertgoers to visit Thailand and boost local economy</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">

<div class="">
<p>Srettha said he had spoken with AEG executives and assured them of his administration&#8217;s readiness to offer tax incentives and other attractive measures to attract mega concerts and world-class festivals to Thailand.</p>
<p>The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.nst.com.my/lifestyle/groove/2024/02/1015018/showbiz-thailand-follow-singapore-subsidising-taylor-swift-concerts">New Straits Times</a>, citing a local report, noted that the Thai government plans to subsidise concerts, such as Swift&#8217;s, with <b>THB500 million (RM66.5 million)</b> to attract more fans to Thailand.</p>
<p>&#8220;This will boost sponsorship and tourism in Thailand. And it is not only Taylor Swift but also other international recording artistes with a strong following.</p>
<p>&#8220;If we want the likes of <b>Swift, Beyonce, and Coldplay</b> to perform in Thailand, we have to provide great incentives for their concerts to happen,&#8221; said Srettha.</p>
<p>Other than Thailand, Indonesia will also turn to &#8216;Swiftonomics&#8217; to boost tourism spending, reported <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/business/2024/02/19/indonesia-will-turn-to-swiftonomics-to-boost-tourism-spending/">FMT</a>.</p>

<h2>Nora Elina Abdul Khalil has expressed regret for failing to rescue her 44-year-old husband, Zulkarnain Mohamed Zubir, from strong waves at Pantai Batu Buruk in Kuala Terengganu</h2>

<p>At around 11.20am, she noticed Zulkarnain struggling to stay afloat after being swept away by strong waves.</p>
<p>&#8220;Forgive me, <i>abang</i>. I swam desperately, trying to reach you from 5m off the shore,&#8221; she said after the incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;We threw a lifebuoy towards Zulkarnain as I swam towards him to rescue him.</p>
<p>&#8220;But as I approached, the strong current separated us further, forcing me to retreat to the shore,&#8221; she told reporters at the scene.</p>

<h2>Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced that efforts to completely eliminate hardcore poverty in Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, and Negeri Sembilan have been successful</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>He said the initiative to eradicate hardcore poverty encompasses not only the Malays, but also includes other ethnicities, such as Indians, Chinese, and other communities, reported <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bernama.com/bm/news.php?id=2270575">Bernama</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;In Kuala Lumpur, although the majority are Malays, the population ratio indicates <b>[a high prevalence&nbsp;of hardcore poverty] among Indians,</b> and we will <b>assist every family in Kuala Lumpur to emerge from&nbsp;the hardcore poverty line﻿</b>. This is our approach, but sometimes, we receive requests that only seek allocation for Indians.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have assisted all households facing hardcore poverty, regardless of whether they are Chinese, Malay, or Indian. <b>As of the latest data available, we have achieved 100% [hardcore poverty eradication] </b><b>in Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, and Negeri Sembilan</b><b></b>,&#8221; he was quoted as saying yesterday, 15 February.</p>
<p>Anwar has prioritised the eradication of hardcore poverty as one of the key objectives of his MADANI agenda.</p>

<h2>Hardcore poverty in Malaysia refers to households with a monthly income of less than RM1,169, while households in absolute poverty have an income of less than RM2,208</h2>

<div class="">
<p>Commenting on the complete eradication of hardcore poverty in two states and one Federal Territory today, 16 February, Anwar said that <b></b>there should be no room for failure in replicating the accomplishment nationwide<b>. </b></p>
<p><b></b>He highlighted the <b>significant zakat collections in several states as a key resource for achieving this goal</b>, reported <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2024/02/16/no-more-excuses-for-hardcore-poverty-anwar-tells-state-zakat-agencies/">FMT</a>.</p>
<p>The prime minister stressed that zakat is intended to assist the poor, and state zakat authorities are duty-bound to prioritise the elimination of hardcore poverty.</p>
<p>&#8220;Zakat is not about generating revenue for the country. It is an institution dedicated to eradicating poverty.</p>
<p>&#8220;I cannot accept the fact that there are people who remain in the hardcore poor bracket despite states collecting large sums as zakat,&#8221; he said today.</p>

<p>In an <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0c9HLjglea/">Instagram Reel</a> posted in December last year, Hornson Lui shared that it is not uncommon to find cockroaches in cars.</p>
<p>To eradicate all of the cockroaches in cars, Lui said one would just have to prepare the following:<br />– a wide container,<br />– some oil,<br />– margarine, and<br />– some crackers</p>
<p>He said to put the three ingredients in the uncovered container, and leave it on the floorboard of a car.</p>

<p>&#8220;Why would the cockroaches die from eating [the ingredients], or they couldn&#8217;t escape [from the container]?&#8221; asked an Instagram user. Another user explained that the cockroaches were trapped to death by the oil, and they were unable to even reach the crackers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s try this,&#8221; said a netizen, tagging a friend.</p>

<h2>A recent incident on the MRT Kajang line has raised concerns about sexual harassment when a man confronted a commuter for secretly taking photos of his girlfriend</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p>According to the boyfriend, the incident occurred during an MRT ride from the Bukit Bintang station to the Bandar Utama station.</p>
<p>The couple noticed a man behaving suspiciously, seemingly taking pictures of the girlfriend without consent. They promptly responded by changing seats to ensure their safety.</p>
<p>However, the perpetrator disembarked at the same station as them, prompting the boyfriend to confront him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unfortunately for him, he got off at the same station as us in Bandar Utama, and while he was topping up his Touch &#8216;n Go, I confronted him. I brought him to the counter and said to the MRT staff that, &#8216;<i>Dia ni seakan-akan ambik gambar gf saya</i> (He seemed to be taking photos of my girlfriend)&#8217;.  My suspicions were right.</p>
<p>&#8220;In his gallery were pictures of my girlfriend, [which included] her face, and some other inappropriate pictures of other women. The MRT staff quickly contacted the auxiliary police and the case was directed to Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM),&#8221; he said in an X thread with over one million views.</p>

<h2>The man offered his apologies to the couple, but the boyfriend remained unmoved</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>&#8220;When questioned by PDRM [officers at the scene], he said that he just got let off from work so he was not in the right state of mind. [The] a\*\*hole really tried to use this card. After that, we went to the Mutiara Damansara police station to file an official report,&#8221; the boyfriend wrote on X.</p>
<p>The police began an investigation but found insufficient motive to proceed with the case. </p>
<p>The couple then took matters into their own hands by deleting the photos from the man&#8217;s phone.</p>
<p>&#8220;I checked everywhere on his phone for any more places where he could potentially hide more photos. My girlfriend also took the opportunity to lash out at the guy. I was disgusted to see that a married 49-year-old Malay Muslim man with kids has his Telegram filled with porn.</p>
<p>&#8220;The guy tried to apologise, saying, &#8216;<i>Saya mintak maaf tapi saya faham kalau saya tak dimaafkan </i>(I apologise, but I&#8217;d understand if you don&#8217;t forgive me)&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;When we were satisfied with checking his phone, we left and PDRM conducted further investigations,&#8221; he said.</p>

<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>&#8220;I hope this thread can raise awareness about this issue, especially on public transport. I would like to thank the staff from MRT for helping us out. The staff also consoled my girlfriend and made sure she was okay while I was dealing with PDRM.</p>
<p>&#8220;To all the fathers, husbands, boyfriends, <i>abangs</i>, and guys, please please be alert of our surroundings. If you have any suspicions, just take action. I just could not live with the thought of my girlfriend&#8217;s face [being] in a stranger&#8217;s phone.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a dangerous time with the existence of artificial intelligence. Please remember that and think long term. That is all from me, stay safe everyone,&#8221; he concluded his post.</p>

<div class="">
<p>According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.bernama.com/en/general/news.php?id=2268781">Bernama</a>, six family members and a domestic helper were having a picnic at Sungai Kenjur before <b>being trapped by surging water at around 4pm</b><b></b> yesterday, 7 February.</p>
<p>The mother and three children went missing after the incident, while the mother&#8217;s sister, her 11-year-old son, and the domestic helper survived.</p>
<p>The first victim found drowned was the 37-year-old mother, Aszura Bani.</p>
<p>With the help of villagers, four-year-old Hafif Muhayat Azam&#8217;s body was recovered at 9.50pm last night, reported <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.hmetro.com.my/mutakhir/2024/02/1058687/mayat-kanak-kanak-mangsa-kepala-air-sungai-kenjur-ditemukan">Harian Metro</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The [boy&#8217;s] body was found in a deep river, stuck under tree roots at about 600m from the family&#8217;s picnic area,&#8221; said Tapah district police chief Supt Mohd Naim Asnawi.</p>
<p>The boy&#8217;s body identified by his 51-year-old aunt, Aznur Radin Mustapha Amiruddin.</p>

<h2>Malaysians are voicing their discontent over a teacher who mistakenly marked a student&#8217;s answer as incorrect in a simple Standard One Mathematics question</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>In a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/othman.talib/posts/7390824414290381">Facebook post</a> on Monday, 5 January, Othman Talib, a lecturer at UCSI University, expressed his disappointment at the teacher for failing to acknowledge the student&#8217;s critical thinking.</p>
<p>The question, translated into English, is as follows:</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Ahmad bought one book and two pencils as shown below. Calculate the total amount of money that needs to be paid.&#8221;<br /></i><br />The illustration in the question depicts a book priced at 80 sen and a pencil priced at 60 sen.</p>
<p>The student showed how they arrived at the answer RM2 by adding 80 sen, 60 sen, and 60 sen.</p>
<p>While RM2 is the right answer in the real world, the teacher marked it as incorrect, presumably only accepting &#8220;200 sen&#8221; as the correct answer.</p>

<h2>Othman demanded that the teacher give the student full marks for the question instead of docking them</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>&#8220;<b>The answer of &#8216;RM2&#8217; should be accepted as correct</b>. In mathematics and kids&#8217; everyday life, the value of &#8216;200 sen&#8217; is indeed mentioned as &#8216;RM2&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, if a student gave the answer as &#8216;RM2&#8217;, he or she has correctly added the values and just expressed the answer in ringgit, which is mathematically absolutely correct.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is awkward for the kids to say or write &#8216;200 sen&#8217;! Instead, &#8216;RM2&#8217; is a clever and useful answer to &#8216;<i>jumlah wang yang perlu dibayar</i> (the total amount of money that needs to be paid)&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Therefore, it would be crucial to accept &#8216;RM2&#8217; as a correct answer, <b>especially [when] the question did not specify the unit of the answer</b>,&#8221; wrote the lecturer, who is also an education researcher.</p>
<p>He also criticised the teacher for denying the student&#8217;s right to receive full marks﻿, saying that the student demonstrated Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (KBAT), or high-level thinking skills, in their answer.</p>

<div class="">
<p>Many netizens agreed with Othman&#8217;s opinion.</p>
<p>&#8220;This teacher thinks like a &#8216;ruler&#8217;, she&#8217;s merely following the [marking] scheme. Where is the art of teaching? There are many ways to solve a math question. This child is smart because they know how to convert from sen to ringgit. That&#8217;s some high-level [thinking]. Even diploma students don&#8217;t know how to convert units,&#8221; read the top comment.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why if you ask kids to wash the plates these days, they just wash the plates. Spoons, forks, and cups are not part of the &#8216;marking scheme&#8217;. It&#8217;s wrong to wash them,&#8221; quipped a Facebook user.</p>
<p>&#8220;Teacher&#8230; teacher&#8230; [You&#8217;re] low level. [You] gotta make sure they can understand you [and take] their passion to go to the next level. Don&#8217;t kill their interest with mistakes that aren&#8217;t their mistakes,&#8221; added another netizen.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, a Facebook user said the student received three out of four marks&nbsp;is appropriate. </p>
<p>&#8220;Students were taught to answer following examination standard. The fact that your children is street smart won&#8217;t free him or her from rule adherence,&#8221; wrote another person, adding that the correct answer is &#8216;RM2.00&#8217;.</p>
<p>Another netizen joked that &#8220;200 sen&#8221; is indeed the correct answer because the incident took place in Singapore.</p>

<h2>The Bukit Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) is currently investigating a policeman from the Setapak police station for allegedly hiding ang pows and a significant amount of cash</h2>

<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>According to the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://says.com/my/lifestyle/photos-12-ang-pows-from-banks-malaysia">New Straits Times</a>, JIPS director Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad said a disciplinary inquiry paper will be opened regarding the ang pows and money in the policeman&#8217;s possession.</p>
<p>While the exact amount of money discovered was not disclosed, Azri emphasised the need to ascertain its source and determine if any misconduct had occurred.</p>
<p>&#8220;The money was found when <b>the JIPS Bukit Aman team conducted a random inspection </b>at the police station and found several ang pows and cash in a policeman&#8217;s possession.</p>
<p>&#8220;If money is found, we need to ascertain whether the money really belongs to him. Possessing ang pows raises questions because he is not allowed to receive them [from members of the public].</p>
<p>&#8220;So, we need to ask whether he was given the ang pows, and who gave them to him. He needs to answer all these questions during our internal investigation to determine if he has committed any wrongdoing,&#8221; <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.bharian.com.my/berita/kes/2024/02/1209578/angpau-dalam-lokar-anggota-polis-disiasat">Berita Harian</a> quoted Azri as saying.</p>

<h2>The JIPS director added that the ang pows were discovered in the policeman&#8217;s locker</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>He stated that police officers are only allowed to <b>carry a maximum of RM100 during roadblocks and other operations</b>. However, the money was discovered in his locker, prompting the need to conduct an investigation to uncover the source.</p>
<p>The case has been transferred to Bukit Aman for further action.</p>
<p>Commenting further on the spot check, Azri said JIPS officers routinely conduct inspections on police officers to bolster the integrity of the police force, revealing that over 500,000 inspections were carried out last year.</p>
<p>Azri&#8217;s statement comes after a whistleblower site reported yesterday, 6 January, that a JIPS operation led to the discovery of a police officer possessing two bags filled with RM4,239 in cash and RM2,050 in ang pows.</p>
<p>The site also reported that an investigation paper was opened to probe the police officer in question.</p>
<p>However, Azri did not explicitly state whether the case he was commenting on was the same one mentioned by the whistleblower site.</p>
