Are you excited for Undi18? Cause many youths are looking forward to having their rights to vote in the next upcoming general elections.

&nbsp;
The Election Commission (EC) announced that they are now in the finalization process of the automatic registration system which will see around 5.8 million new voters being added to the electoral roll-on 16 January.
The figure for the next coming election is massive as we would see 1.2 million voters who compromise of Undi18 which allows those between the age of 18 and 20 to vote. This marks the increase of approximately 40% of voters in Malaysia which will total up the to 21.1 million voters registered.
Now Malaysians can live worry free as they no longer need to manually register themselves to be eligible to participate in the elections. Which I may say it can be tedious.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1642055028/unsigned/kg3olmgept0gk9yourqj.jpg" />
&nbsp;
According to EC deputy chairman Azmi Sharom, the voter rolls will be updated on the 16th of every month rather than the usual every 3 months. The system will automatically add new eligible voters who just turned 18.
&ldquo;So if you turn 18 this month, you can expect to be on the electoral roll on the 16th of the subsequent month,&rdquo; said Azmi.
You hear that Malaysians? See how easy it is for you to start voting now since you&rsquo;ll be automatically registered!
Voters to check on their details
Although automatically registered, Azmi says that eligible voters should log onto the EC&rsquo;s <a href="https://pengundi.spr.gov.my/">website</a> or MySPR Semak app on the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mysprsemak.spr&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US">Google Play Store</a> or <a href="https://apps.apple.com/my/app/myspr-semak/id1262263101">iOS store</a> to ensure that your details are accurate to avoid any objections coming into voting season.
For users who are unable to find their names on the website, you&rsquo;ll need to contact the EC to rectify the issue.

&nbsp;
So far, the implementation of Undi18 and the automated registration has been very bumpy. During the process, there had to be amendments to the constitution in July 2019 but it had been repeatedly delayed.
In fact, it had even led to a court battle where the movement had emerged victorious.
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/xEZtAqr-2CsAAAAC/parks-and-rec-jay-jackson.gif" />
&nbsp;
One more thing to note is that EC says that a re-delineation of the electoral boundaries can only be done by 2026 despite the country seeing a sudden 40% surge in votes from 16 January. &nbsp;This process can only be done every 8 years due to the restrictions bounded by the Federal Constitutions.
&ldquo;The last time we did it was in 2018, hence we can&rsquo;t do it until 2026,&rdquo; he said in a recent interview. Yes, some constituencies that are already very large are going to be even bigger,&rdquo; said Azmi.
Well, at least now our youth have the rights to vote in the next election but it&rsquo;s also down to parents to help educate the youth about politics and ensure they make the right choices.
I&rsquo;m sure no one would like a cabinet that doesn&rsquo;t do their job and we&rsquo;d want better leaders for the future of Malaysia.
What are your thoughts on letting the youth to vote in the next general election? Share us your thoughts!

Election Commission To See 5.8 Million New Voters In The Next Election

How many of us here are following the whole Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard court case?
Yea, it can be pretty difficult to follow as there&rsquo;s so many hearings, but many people have been siding Johnny Depp on the trails so far and we won&rsquo;t be surprised if he wins.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653638758/unsigned/zqr6u160hpgl9cafeunv.webp" />
&nbsp;
Recently, Amber brought up Kate Moss&rsquo;s name as she claims she shared an alleged altercation in 2015.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653638819/unsigned/z2jmob6aj12xs8jct1br.webp" alt="Depp and Moss back in the past." width="731" height="487" /> Depp and Moss back in the past.
&nbsp;
After she brought up her name, many people knew instantly that it&rsquo;s a matter of time before Kate will need to testify for Johnny and surprise, surprise, she agreed to appear in court via video call.
During the testimony, Amber claimed that Johnny and her sister had a fight between one another, and that Kate&rsquo;s name was brought up as Amber said the altercation reminded her of a rumoured incident between the actor and the model.
If you haven&rsquo;t already knew, Kate and Johnny were former lovers for 4 years from 1994 &ndash; 1998. Regardless of their split, she still showed up to the court as a witness to testify for her ex-boyfriend.
<img src="https://media2.giphy.com/media/2t9sDPrlvFpdK/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611360f9d077c52405c8dde025599832d6492a122d7&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Salutes Jack Black GIF" />
&nbsp;
Kate was asked a series of questions which related to the alleged incident. One of them being the time the two went to Jamaica and Johnny had allegedly &ldquo;pushed her down the stairs&rdquo;.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653638852/unsigned/tvq7linojl5jotch0y9y.webp" />
&nbsp;
Unfortunately for Amber, the alleged rumour was false as Kate testified it.
&ldquo;He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs&rdquo; she said.
Kate had been asked by Johnny&rsquo;s legal team if she ever testified in court before and she answered &ldquo;no, I have never&rdquo;. Only when she was questioned on why choosing to testify now, she was stopped by Amber&rsquo;s lawyer as it was beyond what ever that was agreed upon.

Currently, the Johnny Depp and Amber Hear case is one of hottest cases going on right now. The fact that the case even has many funny clips of what&rsquo;s going on in court just shows how serious and funny it can be too.
Here&rsquo;s one of TikTok&rsquo;s favourites where Amber thinks Johnny was suing cocaine from a jar.

Due to the trials, many big brands had dropped Johnny Depp but respects should be given to Christian Dior for standing by his side throughout the whole ordeal.&nbsp;

Are you a frequent user of public transport when going to work or making our way around town?
Previously, we reported that Grab and some e-Hailing companies are getting too expensive and many have been complaining about it till the transport minister demanded an explanation. Grab had also admitted the shortage of drivers but also explain how their pricing system worked.

However, we have some pretty bad news&hellip;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653619976/unsigned/p5fasbfzgt2brshegydv.png" />
&nbsp;
Transport Minister Datuk Sri Wee Ka Siong had announced that the transit rails will be undergoing a maintenance period which could last up to six months beginning 26 May 2022.
This was due to the numerous breakdowns that had happened along the Kelana Jaya LRT Line which is the busiest rail transit in town.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/xT0xeqdJBvhjta1tug/200.gif" alt="Jumanji2017 GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY" />
&nbsp;
The maintenance will be categorised in four different levels which involve the repair and overhaul of (MRO) of the 28 sets of 818 series trains which is an important process to extend the life span of trains.
Additionally, the government will be receiving 19 new types of trains in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the Kelana Jaya route. Finally, an upgrade. As this is considered a &ldquo;mid-life&rdquo; refurbishment of the Kelana Jaya LRT Line, it&rsquo;s going to cost around RM800 million to do so.
Just in case you don&rsquo;t know how crowded the lines at trains can be, here&rsquo;s a picture from KL Sentral during peak hours.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653620097/unsigned/hieiurkz5v93j28f7lvj.jpg" alt="The line waiting for one train." width="731" height="974" /> The line waiting for one train.

During this maintenance period, commuters will be expecting to see trains to operate at a slower frequency.
The Kelana Jaya LRT Line trains will now be operating at a 4-minute interval during peak hours instead of the previous 2.5-minute intervals. So far, the off-peak hour is unaffected with the train running at 7-minute intervals like usual.
If you&rsquo;re using the Kajang MRT line, trains will be running at 6-minute interval during peak hours instead of the 4-minute interval.

&nbsp;
On a plus side, the LRT and MRT lines will now operate on the off-peak frequency on weekends. This is a step up from the previous schedule where previously the LRT had a 10-minute interval and the MRT had a 12-minute interval.
Well, things could be worse am I right? Thankfully Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is taking things seriously to step up the service and maintenance of the train lines.

What are the odds of a Malaysian born person becoming someone with authority in foreign countries?
Odds of it, normally it&rsquo;s unlikely but in this case, this man here has achieved the unthinkable. Well, its only unthinkable to Malaysians knowing how our member of parliament system works am I right?

Meet Sam Lim, 60, who was born in Muar, Johor and had worked as a dolphin trainer before he moved to Australia in 2002. As most of us may have known from the media, the 2022 Australia election had taken place on 21 May 2022.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653549495/unsigned/nbohdmhkdwim7kn2gpc1.webp" />
&nbsp;
Sam is now a member of parliament (MP) of the seat of Tangney in Western Australia. With his new seat, he will be joining fellow Australian Labor Party senator Penny Wong who is Australia&rsquo;s new foreign minister. Fun fact, she too is Malaysian born which shows that the parliament there has an increasingly diverse parliament.
Speaking of diversity, in the nearby Western Australian electoral division of Moore, Ian Goodenough who was born in Singapore had also hung onto his seat under the Liberal Party.
Won against the odds 
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uvuOkpZyTgE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
It was reported that Lim had overturned a 9.5% margin from the 2019 election to defeat Liberal Party MP Ben Morton. Tangney was considered a safe seat for the Liberal Party as they have won the seat in every election since 1984
During his interview, Lim talked about how tough life was for him and his family as he was one of eight children growing up in a poor family.
"We had to struggle for the first 15 years of my life was the family home had a leaky roof, a dirt floor and no running water or electricity. But that 15 years built me up to today. When I had to fight to win this seat, I utilised all that determination that I gained in the first 15 years of my life and I achieved it,&rdquo; said Lim.
Always dreamt of being a police man
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653549595/unsigned/oern8ushfdyhe3ermflz.png" />
&nbsp;
As a child, he dreamed of becoming a police officer. Unfortunately, at the time in Malaysia, the pay was low, and he had resorted to becoming a dolphin trainer instead.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/QTAVEex4ANH1pcdg16/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611f0fb0f287702c914c4534d311bf1d6cc85077c4d&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Excited Season 6 GIF by The Office" />
&nbsp;
In a report by the Sydney Moring Herald, Lim described the job as his best job ever. He loved it as dolphins are genuine and will never hurt you. Even if you were to fall in the water, the dolphin will come to comfort you.
Unfortunately, his dream job had to end as creditors had taken over the safari park he was working at, and he eventually started a small business which showed good success.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653549620/unsigned/uv4hwghamalg0cm9veyt.png" />
&nbsp;
Once he&rsquo;s earned enough, he had migrated to Australia with his family and fulfilled his life long dream of becoming a police officer as he joined the Western Australia Police Force.
If you&rsquo;re having trouble, he&rsquo;s the one to look for as he speaks 10 different languages. He&rsquo;s put it to good use during the pandemic as well while working with multicultural communities during the pandemic.
All the hard work paid off as he was also awarded Officer of the Year at the Nine News Police Excellence Awards in December 2020 for his role during the pandemic.
Now the next journey in life awaits him and he hopes that his efforts will allow for the Labor Party to stay there for the next 45 years.
It&rsquo;s always nice to see someone who&rsquo;s Malaysian born to make it up there. Hopefully Lim will bring our name proud down in the land down under!

Meet Sam Lim: From Dolphin Trainer & Policeman To Becoming An MP In West Australia

Prime Ministers are normally some of the busiest people out there as they constantly need to travel from state to state for official events or even travel to other countries for diplomatic relationships.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653533887/unsigned/qnxwslsoigxld5vse4dx.webp" />
&nbsp;
Recently, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri had flew for a trip to Japan for 6 days to meet Japan&rsquo;s Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida and to hold several meetings with corporate leaders and businessmen to draw further investments to Malaysia.
Apart from that, he was also recently awarded the Honorary Doctorate in Medicine by Nihon University.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653533973/unsigned/c6nqxqgkjji8yfpiolmc.webp" />
&nbsp;
The degree was awarded in appreciation of Ismail Sabri&rsquo;s efforts and contributions in the fight against Covid-19 and Nihon University is considered one of the most distinguished and oldest private universities in Japan.
The honorary doctorate was awarded by university president Dr Naoto Kato at the Itabashi campus in Tokyo which is within the compound of the university&rsquo;s hospital.
Dedicated the award to the entire Keluarga Malaysia 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653534135/unsigned/h2loqyvrbw20fvmpcwbh.jpg" />
&nbsp;
"Indeed, the award is a great recognition not only for me but for the entire Keluarga Malaysia who have proven our ability to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in our own way," he said.
Additionally, he also mentioned that Malaysia is also recognised by several international agencies. Two of them being Bloomberg and Nikkei who dubbed Malaysia the top 5 nations in the world to have succeeded in controlling the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
The efforts of Ismail Sabri had significantly contributed to the building of trust in international medical collaboration and improvement of technology in remote diagnosis and treatment as well as functional training said Kato.
Degree not recognized by the Malaysia Qualification Agency (MQA)

The netizen explained that even a university such as Universiti Malaysia Pahang who are infamous for its black magic kit, is in the QS Top Universities ranking but not Nihon University. For the fun of it, netizens also poked around stating Rosmah&rsquo;s honorary doctorate from Curtin University (ranked 217th in the world) is also recognized by MQA.
The funniest comment in all this would be the irony of Malaysians not recognizing the current government too.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
receive an honorary doctorate by a university not even recognized by his own government. Worst is his government not even recognized by Rakyat Malaysia too

Who knows, maybe the MQA list is not updated, or the University isn&rsquo;t added into the list yet. 
Emphasizing the word yet cause there&rsquo;s a chance it will eventually update to suit and cater our Prime Minister.

PM Ismail Sabri 'Called Out' As MQA Doesn’t Recognise His Awarded Honorary Medical Degree

We all know that when going out, it can be troublesome to take care kids as they tend to run around and have fun. Sometimes, we fear kids causing an unwanted scene when we are out as well which tend to be an issue for some parents.
Unfortunately for this father, his kid had caused a scene which cost him to fork out HK$33,600 (~RM18,778 ) as his son accidentally toppled over a life-sized (1.8M tall) golden Teletubby.

&nbsp;
Images of the family went viral all-over social media as on lookers just saw the parents and the two boys standing around the shattered and decapitated remains of the statue. In fact, even a video of the moment had circulated Facebook which sparked a debate whether the family should have been made to pay for the damage caused.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
The father, Cheng, had initially stepped out of the store to make a phone call and he had suddenly heard a loud bang. He turned around to seeing his son motionless and staring down on the ground looking at a broken figure.

&nbsp;
The KKPlus staff had then approached Cheng stating that his son had kicked over the statue which resulted him in paying for the golden Teletubby. The statue retails at HK$52,800 (~RM29,500) which is a hefty price to pay. However, he was only charged HK$33,600 (~RM18,778)
The boy was so traumatized that he even took a day off from school. He had even asked Cheng why the doll was so terrifying. &nbsp;While all this happened, an online debate happened, and netizens debated if Cheng should have looked after his child more carefully or if the store should have placed the precariously balanced toy elsewhere out of harm&rsquo;s way.
But judging from the CCTV footage, the claim of the kid kicking the doll was false and that had also angered netizens.

Store manager admits responsibility for cornering the incident

&nbsp;
As the incident blew up on social media, the manager had taken responsibility and said that he will be taking action to prevent such incidents in the future.
He also explained that the cost of the toy was high as it was a prototype which involved copyright and design, research and creation as well as the reinforced packaging fees to transport it. &nbsp;To perspective, the 25cm version of the doll cost HK$1,180 (~RM659.74) hence why the 1.8M tall version is costly.
KKPlus refunds the money and removes all large toys

&nbsp;
KKPlus initially posted a statement stating that the issue had been resolved on 23 May. The following day (24 May), Kidsland International who is the parent company of KKPlus had released an apology statement to the family.
Additionally, they had also fully refunded them and stated that immediate improvement will be done to avoid mishaps like this again.
Unfortunately, the damage has been done as the whole ordeal had attracted over 20,000 comments which were mostly negative. In fact, the store&rsquo;s Facebook page had also been bombarded with hate reacts on many of their posts as well as reviews which brought their rating down to only 1 star.

&nbsp;
I don&rsquo;t blame the kid, judging from the CCTV footage, the kid looks like he&rsquo;s just trying to avoid getting in the way of people in the store. Plus, if a store knows that their item is that valuable, they should of secured it properly or set it aside somewhere safer. 
I guess karma is a b**** huh? What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

The kid's father initially paid for the damages but was fully refunded after. Unfortunately, the store had received many negative backlashes due to the incident.
