    Zed Zaidi Rasa Terugut, Kakitangan Persatuan Seniman Lapor Nick Mikhail Kepada Polis

    Gara-gara mengugut dan mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat terhadap Zed Zaidi, Persatuan Seniman Malaysia (Seniman) membuat laporan polis terhadap seorang selebriti televisyen Singapura iaitu Nick Mikhail Razak.

    Pada Selasa lalu, Nick Mikhail mengeluarkan tuduhan itu menerusi sebuah video yang dimuat naik di Facebooknya.

    Laporan polis dibuat oleh Pengerusi Biro Perpaduan dan Antarabangsa Seniman iaitu Datuk Subash Sundaramoorthy, 36, di Balai Polis Taman Melawati  pada Khamis.

    Menurut Subash, pihak Seniman terpanggil untuk melaporkan kepada polis mengenai perkara itu setelah merasakan tindakan Nick Mikhail itu melampau sehingga mencalarkan kredibiliti Zed Zaidi yang juga merupakan Presiden Persatuan Seniman Malaysia.

    Malah jelas Subash, ia bukan kali pertama individu itu menyelar Zed Zaidi dan pihaknya sebelum ini hanya berdiam diri kerana tidak mahu mengeruhkan keadaan.

    “Ini kali ketiga individu berkenaan mengugut dan mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat, fitnah terhadap Seniman dan presiden jadi atas sebab itu kita rasakan perlu membuat laporan polis kerana sebelum ini kami senyap sahaja.

    “Kata-katanya iaitu ‘kalau lu langgar sama Aliff Aziz lu langgar sama gua. Sekarang wa cabar sama lu, lu pancung, lu datang kita tunggu sama lu’ adalah satu ugutan melampau.

    “Kita rasa bertanggungjawab untuk mempertahankan Seniman dan presiden dari terus diperkotak-katikkan oleh individu yang tiada kaitan dengan persatuan.

    “Zed sendiri tidak tahu kami akan buat laporan polis dan hanya memberitahunya pagi ini,” akhirnya.

  • Property Agents Unhappy With PropertyGuru’s Impending Price Hike

    Property Agents Unhappy With PropertyGuru’s Impending Price Hike

    Local property search portal PropertyGuru’s decision to increase prices for property agents to list on its platform has sparked a backlash among some real estate agents.

    According to a notice PropertyGuru sent to its subscribers on Jul 31, prices of new agent packages will range from S$880 per year to S$9,880 per year from Friday (Aug 4) – up from the current annual cost of S$630 to S$2,240.

    These packages also include the number of concurrent listings an agent can have on its site, and a pool of credits agents use to put up their listings, or “boost” it such that it appears at the top of the page.

    More than 3,000 agents have joined a Telegram chat group called “No to Propertyguru” to discuss the issue, with some calling for a switch to other similar portals once their subscription with PropertyGuru ends.

    Agent packages on 99.co, another real estate portal, cost between S$388 and S$588 per year, while rates on SRX Property are between S$499 and S$4,299 a year, according to their websites.

    Mr Jeff Koh, the agency relationship director at 99.co, said his platform does not have a credit system. Instead, agents can click a “refresh” button every 12 hours on a listing so that it comes up on the site’s front page.

    PropertyGuru told Channel NewsAsia that the changes were made in order to “improve the property seeker’s experience”, which will “ultimately deliver more leads to the agents”.

    However, real estate agents Channel NewsAsia spoke to said they were unhappy with the price hike, particularly as PropertyGuru is the most popular site among clients, with a majority of their enquiries via real estate portals coming from there.

    A 29-year-old, who declined to be named because she belongs to a well-known property agency, said the price hike might make it harder for agents with fewer years in the industry like her to reach potential clients.

    The “top producers” will continue to receive queries from house hunters as they have the capital to spend on online listings, she said, while younger agents will have difficulty “getting on the front page”.

    The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has impounded 278 indiscriminately parked dockless bicycles since the start of the year, with 70 cases in the last month.

    The bulk of the impounded bicycles – 212 – came from Obike, while there were 65 cases involving Mobike, said the LTA on Facebook on Thursday (Aug 3). Meanwhile, only one bicycle from China-based firm Ofo has been impounded so far this year.

    The bicycle-sharing firms have to pay a fee to collect the bicycles after they are impounded.

  • Uncle With Dementia Stuck On PIE, Nowhere To Go, Biker Abang Saved Him, Sent Him Home

    Uncle With Dementia Stuck On PIE, Nowhere To Go, Biker Abang Saved Him, Sent Him Home

    I didn’t manage to post this story as i was too busy with work and my school.

    Date : 10th July 2017
    Time : 12 midnight
    Place : Jurong East

    I ended work at 9pm that day but i stayed until its 11pm i don’t know why though. There wasn’t a need for me to stay back at work but i just got a feeling i have to stay. I kept procrastinating until its 12am.

    So as usual i took my bike and made my way.

    I was turning into PIE (middle of expressway) i saw an orange figure , all the vehicles passed by it without stopping so when i took a closer look it was actually this 80 years old uncle.

    I stopped and took my helmet off and asked.

    Me: Uncle , where you going?
    Uncle : Wa , tak tahu wa kat mana. Wa sudah lupa , wa tak tahu address wa.

    Translation : I dont know where i am. I forgot where i stay.

    My heart broke. He was in he middle of an expressway alone with slippers on. He walked all the way from god knows where. I asked for his wallet and lucky enough there’s an address inside.

    Alhamdulillah god gave me the sign to bring a extra helmet that day and He gave me the sign to stay late at work.

    I don’t think this is coincidental . Its all planned by him. Its all written by him. Allah S.W.T

    The uncle was sent back home safely.

    If any bikers and drivers see this post please do help those in need . Its never a coincidence.
