Do you recall the days when venturing outdoors and feeling the grass beneath our feet was commonplace, and our phones were primarily used for making calls or sending SMS messages?
One of the remarkable features of phones from the past was their exceptionally long battery life, which could last for days or even weeks. However, the real highlight was their remarkable durability; a simple fall to the ground wouldn't render them useless. While the phone may have come apart upon impact, snapping the clips back in was an effortless task, with no issues whatsoever.
In fact, this durability even became the subject of one of the most renowned memes on the internet.

Nokia Releases Their New Nokia 3210
Although Nokia may not be leading the current generation of smartphones in the industry, they have made a significant reintroduction to the phone market by bringing back an iconic model: the Nokia 3210. To commemorate its 25th Anniversary, HDM unveiled a modern and revitalized version of this classic phone, complete with 4G connectivity and a USB-C charging port, marking a celebration of its enduring legacy.

If you're considering purchasing the phone, you're in luck! The new rebooted version is now available in Malaysia through Nokia's Shopee store, retailing at RM339.90. It's offered in various colours including Scuba Blue, Grunge Black, and Y2K Gold. Additionally, the phone comes with a 12-month supplier warranty, a detail worth noting for potential buyers.
While the price may seem steep, it's worth noting that when the original phone was released in 1999, it ranged from $150 to $200 USD (RM702 &ndash;RM936). Pricing varied depending on the region and mobile carrier.
So, What Else Does The Phone Have?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1bcf313256df12e94b58f5a4372b00eae967796baa0d9c0e0cf8202d6ccd5ca6" />
In addition to its nostalgic appearance, the phone boasts some simple yet practical features, including the classic physical numeric keypad, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, FM radio support, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack&mdash;a feature notably absent in many newer models from major brands like Apple and Samsung.
On the software side, the phone runs on the S30+ operating system, which also supports cloud apps for news, weather updates, and occasional YouTube Shorts browsing. As for games, the iconic Snake game remains the sole option, capturing the essence of classic mobile gaming.
Similar to other revived classics like the Nokia 3310, 8210, and 2720 Flip, the newly introduced Nokia 3210 is a basic feature phone. It is equipped with a Unisoc T107 chip, 64MB of RAM (yes, MB, no kidding), and 128MB of internal storage. For additional storage, it supports microSD cards of up to 32GB.
Lastly, the phone is powered by a 1,540mAh removable battery, delivering up to 9.8 hours of talk time.
Who Is This Phone Targeted Towards?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bac152a6853f4badcc56229746316160a301031fb778d172fcc37c40a8e5692c" />
According to HMD, the Nokia 3210, a mobile phone that defined a generation, is making a comeback after 25 years. HMD claims that "dumbphones" are experiencing a resurgence as individuals seek a return to simpler times. It noted that the sales of its Nokia 2660 Flip doubled in 2023, and it anticipates further growth in the feature phone market in 2024.
HMD's CMO, Lars Silberbauer, stated, "The Nokia 3210, a cultural icon, is reemerging at the forefront of the global dumbphone trend as consumers seek to balance their screen time with a digital detox. With simplicity at its core, the Nokia 3210 enables consumers to be fully present. Forget 'dumbphone'; this is the fun phone of 2024."
HMD highlights that the new Nokia 3210 aligns with the growing popularity and ongoing revival of feature phones as more young people disconnect and embrace the digital detox movement. It caters to individuals looking to take a break from social media, the internet, and endless apps, and relive the simpler times of the late 90s or early 2000s.
So, if you're considering a temporary escape from the digital world while staying connected to essential contacts, or if you're planning a camping trip and need a reliable device to keep you in touch, this phone could be just what you need.

Kuala Lumpur-based idol group KLP48 is preparing to mark a remarkable milestone&mdash;its first anniversary&mdash;with a commemorative concert titled &ldquo;〜BLOOM〜&rdquo;. The highly anticipated event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 16 August 2025, at Zepp Kuala Lumpur, one of the city&rsquo;s premier live performance venues.
Formed in 2024 under the globally recognised AKB48 franchise, KLP48 is not just another idol group&mdash;it is the embodiment of Southeast Asian cultural diversity brought into the global spotlight. Since their debut, the group has carved out a name for itself in both local and international idol scenes, showcasing a strong blend of discipline, charm, and multiculturalism.
From Local Roots to Global Stages
&nbsp; <img src="https://r2.myc.my/c5ae41aba58cea1eedded8060c44c0c7192d233fd854aad76820b4dbce526748" />&nbsp;
Debuting in July 2024, KLP48 is Malaysia&rsquo;s first homegrown sister group of Japan&rsquo;s iconic AKB48 franchise. Formed under 48 Entertainment in partnership with Sony Music Malaysia, KLP48 brings the beloved Japanese idol culture to Southeast Asia with a distinct local twist.
The group currently consists of 13 members from diverse cultural backgrounds: seven Malaysians, four Japanese, one Indonesian, and one from Hong Kong. Several members are former performers of AKB48 and STU48, bringing both professional polish and a deep understanding of idol dynamics to the fledgling ensemble. The group is led by Malaysian member Yi Shyan, with other notable names including Salwa, Amanda, and Haruka.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qxb0khjTLRU" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
KLP48 officially debuted with a performance at the AKB48 Group Live in KL 2024: First Cry at Zepp Kuala Lumpur and released their first digital single, &ldquo;Heavy Rotation&rdquo;, shortly after. This was followed by subsequent releases like &ldquo;Alasanku Maybe&rdquo; in April 2025 and &ldquo;Flying Get&rdquo; in May, further building their discography and fanbase.
In just one year, KLP48 has achieved milestones many new idol groups only dream of. They&rsquo;ve performed on international platforms, gained recognition in Japanese media, and steadily cultivated a loyal global fanbase. Their progress is a testament to their dedication&mdash;balancing rigorous rehearsals, vocal training, and energetic live performances across fan meetings, regional showcases, and music festivals.
Their anniversary concert in July 2025 not only celebrates their whirlwind first year but also signals a bold intent for the future. With national auditions already underway for their next generation of members, KLP48 is poised to grow even stronger as they solidify their place in the regional music scene and beyond.
What to Expect from &lsquo;〜BLOOM〜&rsquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/40d248a3b364f742aa4413ff1838fa5981c3b22cc71b7d676c7baa8016163b6d" />
&ldquo;〜BLOOM〜&rdquo; promises to be more than just a concert&mdash;it&rsquo;s a showcase of growth, gratitude, and ambition. Audiences can expect high-energy performances, fan-favourite tracks, never-before-seen collaborations, and heartfelt moments from the members themselves.
The group has been preparing intensely for the show, with elaborate choreography, vocal sessions, and creative planning. The stage will feature sophisticated production design and a carefully curated setlist to reflect their journey over the past year.
Adding to the excitement, KLP48 will be joined by a stellar lineup of guest performers, including their older Indonesian sister group JKT48, widely credited for popularising idol culture in Southeast Asia. Their participation reflects the strong familial ties within the AKB48 Group network and underscores the regional nature of this celebration.
Local pop girl group CO&Euml;X, known for their empowering lyrics and catchy melodies, will also perform, alongside Malaysian R&amp;B-pop star Ismail Izzani, whose smooth vocals and dynamic stage presence bring another layer of diversity to the concert.
Ticketing and Fan Perks
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4f35e1b2cdc819ba0258718b8986a2319e56c1ae502ee08ac655106c76f79c5f" />

While &ldquo;〜BLOOM〜&rdquo; serves as a celebration of the past year, it&rsquo;s equally a launchpad into KLP48&rsquo;s next phase. The group has expressed ambitions to expand their musical range, grow their presence in neighbouring markets, and further strengthen ties with fans through more public performances and online content.
For many of the members, this anniversary is deeply personal. They&rsquo;ve grown not only as performers but as individuals navigating the pressures and joys of idol life. Several have spoken about how much they&rsquo;ve learned, how grateful they are to fans, and how they look forward to reaching new heights together.

KLP48 To Celebrate First Anniversary With ‘〜BLOOM〜’ Concert At Zepp KL!

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, the Sarawak government is taking proactive steps to prepare the next generation for a digital future. In a forward-looking initiative, teachers across the state are receiving specialised AI training, enabling them to introduce this transformative technology into their classrooms &mdash; not just as a tool, but as a teaching philosophy grounded in ethics, innovation, and impact.
This initiative is driven by a desire to ensure that education in Sarawak does not lag behind global technological trends, while also responding directly to the needs and aspirations of teachers on the ground.
The Moral Compass of Technology
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/edc160cba906f357a4f0b83e17d62afa4c7817942a2776d157810a71ecb29214" />
Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg announced the training programme in response to a heartfelt request from teachers, conveyed by Deputy Minister Datuk Abdullah Saidol. During the Sarawak Media Conference (SMeC) 2025, the Premier stressed that while AI can be a powerful enabler, its use must be tempered with moral responsibility and critical thinking.
&ldquo;We have to tell our students that AI is just a machine,&rdquo; Abang Johari said. &ldquo;A machine without feeling, without emotion. But we are human &mdash; and it is we who must decide how the technology is used.&rdquo;
Using the analogy of a kitchen knife, he explained that while tools can serve many beneficial purposes, they can also cause harm if misused. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why education is key. AI must be used to improve lives, not to damage them. Our role is to guide that process.&rdquo;
He further highlighted AI&rsquo;s growing role in Sarawak&rsquo;s economy, particularly in agriculture, manufacturing, and the social sector, making it imperative that educators are equipped to keep up with changing demands across all industries.
Hands-On Innovation: A Glimpse into the Training Programme
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/065dea849c1821b94015b92b8adfe8074c58099de13659c2b77e5cdcbd67d8fe" />
While details of the full-scale rollout are still in development, a recent pilot initiative at Curtin University Malaysia has already demonstrated the impact such training can have. Over four days, more than 80 primary and secondary school teachers participated in a collaborative, high-energy workshop led by the IEEE Curtin University Malaysia Student Branch and Chumbaka Miri, a local nonprofit focused on tech education.
This &ldquo;Train-the-Trainer&rdquo; programme offered a dual-track approach:
<ul>
<li>Primary school teachers took part in the Junior Innovate (JI) stream, which introduced digital-making platforms like Scratch and Arduino. Through these tools, they developed interactive, game-based projects focused on real-world themes, such as promoting school safety, encouraging inclusivity, and supporting mental well-being &mdash; all aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).</li>
<li>One teacher shared that using games like &ldquo;Werewolf&rdquo; helped illustrate logic flow and decision-making in a way that was accessible and engaging for young learners. &ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t just about the coding &mdash; it was about storytelling, ethics, and problem-solving,&rdquo; they said.</li>
</ul>
Meanwhile, secondary school teachers joined the Young Inventors Challenge (YIC), which delved deeper into AI integration through PictoBlox, a visual programming platform, and AI-integrated Arduino hardware. Teachers were mentored by IEEE student volunteers, who helped them explore how AI could be used to solve community challenges.
One standout project was a visual aid device for the visually impaired, developed by a team of teachers with no prior coding experience. Using image recognition and motion sensors, they prototyped a tool that could guide visually impaired students through school corridors &mdash; a powerful reminder of how innovation can arise when empathy and technology intersect.
Empowering Educators, Empowering Students
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/427e7d1a34ad8c3ad5e16ac075cc9dd8c9a113ea8ed772d221a73aa9894b1216" />
For many participants, the experience was transformative. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not just teaching tech &mdash; we&rsquo;re shaping changemakers,&rdquo; said IEEE Community Outreach co-head Diandra Emilia. &ldquo;The atmosphere was buzzing with creativity, curiosity and a real sense of mission.&rdquo;
According to IEEE advisor Professor Garenth Lim, the training reflects a shift in Malaysia&rsquo;s education landscape. &ldquo;When we invest in teachers, we don&rsquo;t just build skills. We spark a ripple effect &mdash; one that can influence an entire generation to see innovation not as something abstract, but as a tool for solving real problems.&rdquo;
Chumbaka, known for its storytelling-based approach to digital education, sees this model as one that could be scaled across Malaysia. The organisation emphasises inclusivity &mdash; ensuring that schools even in smaller towns like Miri are not left behind as AI and digital literacy become global imperatives.
Looking Ahead: From Pilot to Policy
The Sarawak government now appears committed to expanding this initiative statewide, with strong indications that similar programmes will reach rural and interior schools in the near future. Premier Abang Johari has reiterated his belief that AI should be woven into every sector &mdash; and that education is where this transformation must begin.
Deputy Minister Abdullah also highlighted the importance of collaboration between ministries, universities, and civil society in building a tech-literate population. &ldquo;The interest is already there among our teachers. Our job is to nurture it, support it, and scale it.&rdquo;
More than just a technological upgrade, this initiative represents a broader cultural shift in how education is delivered, how technology is understood, and how teachers are empowered.
As Diandra Emilia put it, &ldquo;The real success won&rsquo;t be measured by the number of workshops we run &mdash; it&rsquo;ll be seen when students, inspired by their teachers, begin to build and dream with tech. That&rsquo;s when we&rsquo;ll know the future is in good hands.&rdquo;

Sarawak Rolls Out AI Training For Teachers To Future-Proof Education

In a world where gig work is often viewed as an unstable or transitional phase, Afiq Zayany is defying the odds &mdash; and expectations. While many associate food delivery with long hours, low pay, and limited future prospects, Afiq has turned it into a high-earning profession that funds his dream lifestyle in a luxury villa.
What makes his story stand out isn&rsquo;t just the numbers &mdash; it&rsquo;s the cross-border discipline, sheer work ethic, and personal philosophy that drive his success.
From Johor Bahru to Singapore: The Daily Commute Behind the Earnings
&nbsp;<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LE4IKQ7W_Jw?si=2V2vK0WiAJFGej9x" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Afiq resides in Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia, where he owns a sprawling two-storey landed golf villa valued at RM1.4 million. The home features a large compound, three-car garage, and a view that rivals that of most high-end resorts. But to fund this lifestyle, Afiq crosses the Malaysia-Singapore border every single day to work as a Grab delivery rider in the city-state.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8c9843890768bf76d13f0e9252f7e03defa31aa244cc26361ed729d83b5600a7" />
His daily routine is disciplined: he starts early, rides through busy Singaporean streets, and delivers food orders for six to seven hours, clocking in around 25 deliveries on average. This translates to roughly S$200 (RM660) in daily earnings &mdash; and at that pace, Afiq&rsquo;s monthly income ranges between S$6,000 to S$7,000 (RM20,000+).
In his own words: &ldquo;If you treat this like a real job, not a side hustle, S$4,000 is the minimum. Push harder, and you can hit S$6,000 or more.&rdquo;
The Work Behind the Wages: No Glamour, Just Grit
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/22ba12622b2a7444c0a5b3a5fda6b72ff45a13e943f29d9f751dbbd9863cae49" />
While the income sounds impressive, Afiq is the first to admit the job is far from glamorous. He estimates riding over 250 kilometres a day, exposed to Singapore&rsquo;s unpredictable weather. Some days, it&rsquo;s punishing heat; on others, sudden downpours soak riders mid-route. Beyond that, riders must stay constantly alert &mdash; navigating traffic, avoiding accidents, and meeting tight delivery timelines.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s either scorching hot or you get drenched,&rdquo; he explains. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s exhausting, and you&rsquo;re risking your life on the road every single day.&rdquo;
His typical day may not involve office meetings or air-conditioned cubicles, but it demands more stamina and situational awareness than many white-collar jobs.
Despite the hardships, Afiq says mental discipline is the key. &ldquo;You are your own boss, but people forget that being a boss is hard. There&rsquo;s no one chasing you to work &mdash; so you have to be consistent and motivated.&rdquo;
Acts of Kindness and the Human Side of the Job
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5907480612d7f20713fdca367bcd2f89bea8eb67911b12ddaff9a4f8b89b568a" /> Example of how some leave snacks or drinks outside for riders. 
Amid the hustle, Afiq has experienced moments that restore his faith in humanity. Some customers leave out cold drinks or snacks for riders &mdash; a small but meaningful gesture that brightens an otherwise draining day.
&ldquo;Most customers are thoughtful. When I see snacks left outside for riders, it genuinely makes my day,&rdquo; he says.
These gestures remind him that he&rsquo;s not invisible, and that many people appreciate the hard work behind each meal delivery.
Discipline, Not a Shortcut: How Afiq Built His Routine
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2cc7506d71b6902ac2cf085b57a50edb5b58ffb0ac2537b4bb0c4c86394dc52a" />
Afiq has been a Grab rider for over two to three years, and he is quick to shut down any myths about easy money. While his earnings are impressive, he stresses that they are the result of clear goals, daily routines, and a willingness to endure discomfort.
He keeps detailed records, sets weekly targets (like hitting 180 orders), and takes advantage of platform incentives. On one particular week in May, he earned S$1,283 before incentives, and an additional S$150 bonus for reaching his delivery goal.
But it&rsquo;s not all sunshine and windfalls. &ldquo;If I take a week off, my income drops to around S$4,000,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;But if I work every day &mdash; seven days a week for the whole month &mdash; I can get close to S$7,000.&rdquo;
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZZFwNGR5Wq8?si=_A2qsWKy0_GXRKkw" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
A New Life in Johor Bahru: Peace, Space, and Perspective
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/79a49bff0cf9172d2774c5136e9519026e9b7b15af66b8b84cd0bafaa31c197d" />
Beyond the earnings, Afiq says his decision to live in Johor Bahru has made him happier overall. Compared to Singapore&rsquo;s dense, fast-paced lifestyle, JB offers him space, peace of mind, and a more relaxed pace of life &mdash; without compromising his income.
&ldquo;I feel less stressed, less cramped, and more at peace,&rdquo; he shared. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the best of both worlds &mdash; I earn in Singapore, but I live in comfort in Malaysia.&rdquo;
No Career Ladder, But a Path to Freedom
While Afiq is proud of his achievements, he is realistic about the nature of platform work. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no promotion, no HR department planning your career,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not for everyone. You have to make it work for you.&rdquo;
He praises Grab for offering workshops and training to equip riders with skills, but maintains that success ultimately depends on personal discipline. &ldquo;The flexibility is great &mdash; but don&rsquo;t misuse it. Set goals. Stick to them. Show up every day.&rdquo;
And that, according to Afiq, is how a rider becomes not just self-sufficient, but successful.
Redefining Gig Work: Not a Shortcut, but a Strategy
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bde69eaac0c2b44aee6f931dfea8bb1acb803bb71751402f8f5fdc330faf2d4a" />
Afiq Zayany&rsquo;s story turns the gig economy narrative on its head. While many dismiss delivery work as low-skilled or unstable, Afiq demonstrates that with strategy, consistency, and grit, even a job seen as &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; can fund a fulfilling lifestyle.
There are no tricks, no hacks, no viral side hustle formulas. Just a man, his bike, his routine &mdash; and a clear sense of purpose.
&ldquo;If you want to earn well doing this,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;then treat it like it matters. Because it does.&rdquo;

Despite commuting daily to Singapore, completing around 25 deliveries a day helps him maximise his income and live comfortably.

Riding To Riches: How A Grab Rider Purchased A RM1.4 Million Home By Delivering Food

Malaysia&rsquo;s public healthcare system remains under immense pressure, as government hospitals and clinics face ever-growing patient numbers while grappling with chronic shortages of medical personnel. Many Malaysians rely on public health services for their affordability, but the imbalance between demand and available resources has become increasingly difficult to ignore.

A viral image shared by a user on Threads <a href="https://www.threads.com/@izzsubari/post/DLkI0qlT7ut?xmt=AQF0Bk5rcwgcbne9lpUKEhYueMgbZYXLE8xtEpTEHqoxwVw">(@izzsubari</a>) has sparked concern across social media. The photo, taken at the Orthopaedic Clinic in Sungai Buloh Hospital (HSgB), revealed a troubling reality: 300 patients were registered for treatment on the day in question, but only three medical officers and one specialist were available.
<iframe id="text-post-embed-0" class="text-post-media" style="border-radius: 2px; margin: 0px; min-width: 300px; padding: 0px; width: 502px; background: #ffffff; border: none; min-height: 500px; height: 650px;" src="https://www.threads.com/@izzsubari/post/DLkI0qlT7ut/embed/" height="110" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-text-app-payload-id="ig-tp-DLkI0qlT7ut" data-gtm-yt-inspected-40="true"></iframe>
In a public notice, the clinic acknowledged the situation, warning that patients would likely face extended waiting periods due to a lack of manpower. The statement apologised for the inconvenience and assured the public that efforts were underway to improve workflow efficiency.
&ldquo;We appreciate your patience and cooperation. The clinic is working to improve its processes to ensure more efficient care for all patients,&rdquo; the notice read.
Netizens Voice Their Opinion
The announcement struck a nerve online. Many Malaysians were quick to voice their frustration at the clear mismatch between staffing levels and patient needs. One social media user estimated that if each doctor had to see 75 patients, with just 15 minutes allocated per consultation, they&rsquo;d be working for over 19 hours straight.
&ldquo;This just isn&rsquo;t realistic. It borders on impossible,&rdquo; wrote one commenter. Others worried about the potential consequences if any of the doctors were pulled away to attend to emergency or ward cases.
Some healthcare professionals also weighed in. A former government doctor shared her experience of handling up to 120 patients a day at a fever centre, describing the toll it took on her mental and emotional well-being.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bff6840ae48daadcb7e8eafc4abf982e447c79e8c8e2f93d315f61de961ac7ba" />
When Affordability Risks Quality
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ef68d065954927c9f1264c07cebc81067914f1d29f1f02eb365888e9192a13e" />
While public healthcare is still viewed as a crucial safety net, many are beginning to question the quality of care patients receive under such pressure. Several users on Threads expressed concerns that extremely high patient loads may prevent doctors from conducting meaningful consultations or making well-considered diagnoses.
&ldquo;Healthcare shouldn&rsquo;t just be about accessibility. It also has to be safe, thorough, and effective,&rdquo; one post read. &ldquo;If a consultation is rushed or incomplete, patients could end up misdiagnosed or sent away without proper care.&rdquo;
The growing sentiment among the public is clear: while affordable healthcare is vital, no one should be forced to choose between cost and quality.
New Medical Regulations Aim to Tackle Specialist Shortages
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
📢 Pindaan Akta Perubatan &amp; Peraturan Baharu Dikuatkuasakan Hari Ini Alhamdulillah, bermula 1 Julai 2025, satu detik bersejarah buat sistem kesihatan negara.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In response to these challenges, the Ministry of Health has moved forward with legislative reforms designed to bolster Malaysia&rsquo;s specialist workforce and ensure fairer access to advanced medical care.
Effective from 1 July, the Medical (Amendment) Regulations 2025 and the Medical Act (Amendment) 2024 have come into force. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad described the changes as a major step towards creating a more transparent, inclusive, and competency-based system for medical specialists.
Key features of the amendments include:
<ul>
<li>Streamlining recognition and registration of specialists from both the Parallel Pathway and local postgraduate programmes.</li>
<li>Ensuring fair and competency-based evaluation processes.</li>
<li>Strengthening the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) to make it more representative and accountable.</li>
<li>Establishing clear service pathways for specialists to continue serving the public health system.</li>
<li>Expanding public access to high-quality specialist treatment nationwide.</li>
</ul>
Dr Dzulkefly added that the first wave of specialists under the Parallel Pathway would cover cardiothoracic surgery, plastic surgery, and family medicine, while genetic pathology would be included under the Master Programme route.
The reforms aim not only to fill existing gaps in specialist availability but also to provide long-term stability for Malaysia&rsquo;s healthcare system&mdash;by improving training pipelines, retaining local talent, and ensuring more equitable distribution of expertise across the country.
A Healthcare System at a Crossroads
The situation at Sungai Buloh Hospital is emblematic of wider structural issues within Malaysia&rsquo;s public healthcare sector&mdash;issues that cannot be solved overnight. With soaring demand and insufficient staff, both patients and healthcare workers continue to bear the brunt of the system&rsquo;s shortcomings.
While the newly introduced reforms mark a step in the right direction, experts argue that systemic change will require sustained political will, better funding, and more immediate support on the ground. That includes short-term staffing solutions, better working conditions for junior doctors, and more strategic resource allocation across facilities.
Until such changes take hold, many frontline doctors will continue to face burnout, and patients will continue to wait&mdash;hoping that a better balance between cost, quality, and care is not too far off on the horizon.

Long Waits And Limited Staff: Malaysians Raise Alarm Over Strained Public Healthcare

As Netflix gears up to release The Old Guard 2 on 2 July (today), fans across Southeast Asia have been buzzing&mdash;not just about the film&rsquo;s return to its universe of immortal mercenaries, but about the appearance of a new character that&rsquo;s caught the eye of many Malaysians. Played by Malaysian-born actor Henry Golding, the mysterious character named Tuah sparked a wave of excitement and speculation&mdash;especially after promotional posters revealed him wielding a keris, the traditional Malay dagger closely associated with legendary warrior Hang Tuah.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/22ec55fca284cdef6529c3644341600a4396c5127d105a13274769ccf12cb2e7" />
To local audiences, this was no coincidence. In Malay folklore, Hang Tuah is a fabled warrior of the 15th-century Melaka Sultanate, renowned for his fierce loyalty, unmatched combat skills, and iconic weapon, the magical keris Taming Sari. Tuah&rsquo;s name, Southeast Asian heritage, and distinctive blade immediately fuelled theories that The Old Guard 2 was introducing a reimagined version of Hang Tuah into its immortal universe.
Adding to the excitement, Tuah is introduced as a centuries-old character who may hold secrets to the origins of immortality itself&mdash;a character shrouded in myth and mystery, not unlike the revered Hang Tuah himself. Social media lit up with comparisons, fan theories, and even mock-ups of what a modern Hang Tuah would look like. And to be fair, with his facial hair, warrior presence, and keris in hand, Golding certainly looks the part.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
read some theory about the old guard 2 and there is a chance that henry golding is hang tuah in it 😭😭😭 this is genuinely mad if u know anything about malay history
&mdash; ْ (@d00scar) <a href="https://twitter.com/d00scar/status/1939544409558958463?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2025</a></blockquote>
Golding Breaks the Illusion: A Nod to Luck, Not Legend 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9b980ccef5c941c4c4b60256b66679a4ca4dfa3cd03bcb59e181f1def30772bf" />
Yet for all the buzz, Golding himself put the rumours to rest in a recent interview&mdash;while still appreciating the enthusiasm. The Crazy Rich Asians and Snake Eyes actor revealed that he had suggested the name &ldquo;Tuah&rdquo; himself during production, inspired by the Malay word meaning &ldquo;luck&rdquo; or &ldquo;fortune&rdquo;.
"It felt right, given the character&rsquo;s role in the story and the spiritual undertones of immortality and fate," he said. But as for being Hang Tuah? &ldquo;No, not quite,&rdquo; Golding admitted with a smile.
Still, he acknowledged the cultural resonance the character&rsquo;s name and weapon held for Malaysian audiences. &ldquo;Of course I understand what Tuah means to Malaysians, and the keris is such a powerful symbol,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s amazing people are seeing echoes of that legend in this role.&rdquo;
Whether intentional or not, Tuah stands as a rare moment of Southeast Asian representation in a global action franchise, and Golding&rsquo;s presence alone adds a layer of cultural pride for many regional fans.
The Return of Immortal Warriors &ndash; and Hollywood Heavyweights
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ebd627e78a2059708e2cb350421d0cf02074fcb42d411af25d952239deb6d0cb" />
Directed by Victoria Mahoney, The Old Guard 2 picks up years after the events of the first film, with Charlize Theron&rsquo;s character Andy grappling with her newfound mortality. The immortal mercenary team&mdash;including Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli), and Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor)&mdash;is forced to face a dangerous new adversary: Discord, played by Uma Thurman, who claims to be the world&rsquo;s original immortal. Discord threatens to unravel the fragile balance of the immortals&rsquo; existence and jeopardise the mission they&rsquo;ve carried for centuries&mdash;protecting humanity from the shadows.
In a desperate bid to counter Discord&rsquo;s threat, the team turns to Tuah&mdash;an ancient figure with deep knowledge of their shared past and the very essence of their immortality. But while Tuah&rsquo;s role proves pivotal, The Old Guard 2 struggles under the weight of its own expanding mythology. Critics note that the film&rsquo;s pace slows as it attempts to lay the groundwork for a potential third instalment, at times sacrificing emotional payoff for world-building.
Even the much-hyped duel between Theron and Thurman, though serviceable, lacks the cinematic punch one might expect from two of Hollywood&rsquo;s most iconic action stars. Instead, the film&rsquo;s most emotionally charged scenes emerge from the tense reunion between Andy and Quynh (Veronica Ng&ocirc;), her once-ally who has now aligned with Discord after centuries of isolation and betrayal.
Golding on Theron: &ldquo;She&rsquo;s the Female Tom Cruise&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/450945cf37431d20d99977c58e2d7deb4575e757cbd2fbfd42d835f53e08354d" />
Despite mixed critical reception of the sequel&rsquo;s pacing, Golding spoke glowingly of his time on set&mdash;particularly about sharing the screen with Charlize Theron. At the film&rsquo;s premiere at Netflix&rsquo;s Tudum Theatre in Los Angeles, Golding likened her to none other than Tom Cruise, praising her dual role as lead actor and hands-on producer.
&ldquo;She&rsquo;s like a rare commodity in Hollywood,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s the female counterpart to Tom Cruise. She&rsquo;s there before anyone else, the last to leave, and right in the middle of the action. She knows exactly what she wants, and she makes it happen.&rdquo;
He added, &ldquo;She and Tom Cruise are some of the last of the true movie stars. You don&rsquo;t see that level of intensity and presence very often anymore.&rdquo;
Theron&rsquo;s career has spanned over two decades, with roles that range from Oscar-winning performances in Monster to her more recent action-driven roles in Mad Max: Fury Road and Atomic Blonde. In The Old Guard 2, her performance once again anchors the story&mdash;serving as the emotional and narrative spine of the film, even when the pacing falters.
Golding also expressed gratitude for being included in such a seasoned ensemble, calling the experience &ldquo;an incredible opportunity to grow, not just as an actor but as part of a team telling a big, global story.&rdquo;
Streaming 2 July: Myth, Immortality, and a Southeast Asian Star
&nbsp;<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lyivgZ074PY" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
While The Old Guard 2 may not have fully capitalised on its blockbuster potential, its ambition remains clear&mdash;and for many Southeast Asian viewers, Henry Golding&rsquo;s inclusion as Tuah brings a long-overdue sense of representation to the genre. Whether or not he&rsquo;s Hang Tuah reborn, the presence of a Malaysian actor wielding a keris in a Hollywood action epic is no small thing.
As the film debuts on Netflix, fans may still debate the origins of Tuah&mdash;but Golding&rsquo;s rising star, and his reverence for the cultural legacy he nods to, will continue to resonate. For now, The Old Guard 2 offers action, mythology, and a diverse cast fighting for humanity&rsquo;s future&mdash;one immortal at a time.

No, he’s not that Tuah. Golding says the name just means “luck” and it fits the story.

Is Hang Tuah In The Old Guard 2? Henry Golding Responds To The Surprising Theory

Malaysians have been left stunned by the tragic murder of 20-year-old university student Maniishapriet Kaur Akhara, who was found dead in her student apartment in Cyberjaya on 24 June. Fresh details from police investigations have now confirmed that the main suspect is the boyfriend of one of her housemates&mdash;who had handed him the access card and keys to the unit prior to the killing.
Maniishapriet, a Bachelor of Physiotherapy student originally from Kuching, Sarawak, was staying alone in the unit at Mutiara Ville after her housemates had left for the semester break. She had remained behind to prepare for an upcoming examination. Her body was discovered around 10am by a concerned friend, who immediately contacted police. She was found unconscious with clear head injuries, and a post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head.
Access Through Trust: Girlfriend Gave Suspect Entry
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/91e5c870c2a5f368f940904db0a09e04073348e504be968abaf168be610871ae" />
Selangor Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Hussein Omar Khan told reporters on 1 July that preliminary investigations revealed how the suspect gained access to the residence without force. The housemate&mdash;one of the three female suspects now in custody&mdash;had previously allowed her boyfriend to stay over in the unit, and handed him the access card and keys once again before returning to her hometown.
"The main suspect had stayed at the unit before. On the night of the incident, he was given the card and keys again, while his girlfriend had already gone home. He stayed overnight and unfortunately harboured ill intentions toward the victim," said Commissioner Hussein.
Investigators believe that the suspect, now remanded, assaulted Maniishapriet using a blunt object, striking her fatally. There were no signs of forced entry into the apartment, indicating that the suspect&rsquo;s presence there appeared authorised at the time.
While police do not currently believe the crime was premeditated, they are probing whether the housemate had any knowledge of her boyfriend&rsquo;s potential motives or behaviour. &ldquo;We are still investigating whether she was aware of what he intended to do,&rdquo; added Hussein.
Theft, Rumours of Rape, and a Fifth Individual
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7425cf7450a376369914c3c4036fd6590da0b8cc622ab44a64e890a204e44dcb" />
After allegedly killing Maniishapriet, the suspect is believed to have taken several of her personal belongings, including her laptop, mobile phone, ATM card, and cash. Police confirmed that RM200 was withdrawn using her card not long after the incident. They suspect that one of the arrested female individuals may have assisted in making the withdrawal.
Authorities also revealed the involvement of a fifth person&mdash;someone who allegedly received the victim&rsquo;s belongings from the main suspect after the murder. This individual is currently detained in relation to another separate case, but police are in the process of recording a formal statement from him. At present, he is not believed to have played a role in the murder itself.
In the days following the murder, speculation on social media raised the possibility of sexual assault. However, Commissioner Hussein addressed the rumours directly, stating that the post-mortem found no evidence of rape. &ldquo;Based on the pathology report, there are no signs of sexual assault. However, we are not ruling out anything and further investigations are ongoing to confirm or disprove any such claims,&rdquo; he said.
Arrests, CCTV Evidence and the Path Toward Prosecution
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/980d57a60943612f61f1d5e93218eb927941a7088cf861a57a2f2ac0fe9c03e3" />
So far, four individuals have been arrested in connection with the case&mdash;three women and one man, all aged between 19 and 20. They were apprehended in swift police operations conducted in Johor Bahru and Gemencheh, Negeri Sembilan on 26 and 27 June, just 48 hours after the initial police report was filed.
The remand orders for all suspects have been extended beyond the initial 3 July deadline as investigations intensify. Police are also analysing CCTV footage from surrounding areas in Cyberjaya to reconstruct the timeline of events. The apartment unit itself did not have internal surveillance, but officers are confident that external footage will help support the case.
Commissioner Hussein confirmed that police are working to complete the investigation papers, which will soon be forwarded to the Deputy Public Prosecutor. The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment upon conviction.
The murder of Maniishapriet Kaur has sparked widespread concern and conversation about safety in student housing, especially for those staying alone during the holidays. The betrayal of trust&mdash;facilitated by someone within the victim&rsquo;s own circle&mdash;has only deepened the public&rsquo;s unease.
As investigations continue, the tragedy serves as a sobering reminder that danger can emerge even in familiar places, and that vigilance must extend beyond locked doors. The country now watches closely as the legal process unfolds and justice is sought for Maniishapriet&rsquo;s untimely and senseless death.
