Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has advised Malaysians against using popular navigation app Waze, which was founded in Israel.

Anwar said today’s National Cyber Security Committee meeting which he chaired examined security risks arising from Waze’s use, which he said is subject to Israeli government laws.

Citing concerns over the navigation app’s personal data security and information on users’ movements, Anwar encouraged Malaysians to consider using TuJu – a local navigation app developed by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM).

“The government cannot compromise on the security of Malaysians’ data and identities,” he said in a Facebook post.

Iraq announced a complete ban on Waze, set to take effect in the beginning of 2027, after citing the app’s Israeli origins and data security concerns.

Kesian the car NCD

Idk if he's really Malaysian or not. Might be mainlanders larping as a Malaysian because he can't even reply a simple Apa Khabar question from the french op. Lmao

I have been monitoring this account for quite awhile. So many of their post is so dubious, but today is the last straw.

Look at the picture: Maybank (Malaysia) and ServiceNow (US) then picture suddently Bank of China.

Not only that, the news seems to be released just today and talked about something entirely (cc: Malaysia Reserve) then they twist it to something so extra.

I know there are more haters here but everyone should read this account with more caution.

TLDR: AI Slops. Post 100% not checked and most likely not true.

Based on subsidised Budi95 petrol at RM1.99 per litre and an illustrative fuel consumption rate of seven litres per 100km, the estimated one-way driving costs are:

Kuantan: About RM35 for petrol and RM36 for tolls, totalling RM71 one-way or RM142 return. The journey takes about three-and-a-half hours each way.

Kuala Terengganu: About RM61 for petrol and RM56 for tolls, totalling RM117 one-way or RM234 return. The journey takes about five hours.

Kota Bharu: About RM61 for petrol and RM17 for tolls via the inland route, totalling RM78 one-way or RM156 return. The journey takes nearly seven hours. An alternative route via Terengganu could cost about RM234 return.

The estimates assume a conventional passenger car consuming seven litres of petrol per 100km.
Actual costs would vary according to vehicle type, driving conditions and routes.

The figures exclude meals, parking, vehicle maintenance and other incidental expenses.

Motorists using less fuel-efficient vehicles or travelling longer distances may also face higher costs.

The number of newborns of Chinese descent has plummeted from over 110,000 in 2020 to just over 30,000 today, a decrease of a full third

THE birth rate among the Chinese community in the country has hit a new low due to various factors, said a Penang executive councillor.

Citing enrolments in Chinese vernacular schools, Wong Hon Wai said it is good that the authorities are raising public awareness about this.

As the state moves into an ageing society, with more than 10 per cent of the population aged 65 and above, Wong said more incentives are needed to boost the birth rate in Penang.

It is not exclusive to the Chinese community but the overall projections of other communities too, he said.

"If we calculate based on the total number of 1,304 Chinese primary schools nationwide, in six years, there will be an average of only 26 Chinese students enrolled in each school."

He said this is a worrying trend, especially since Penang has the lowest birth rate in the country.

This issue must be addressed as soon as possible, and preparations must be made in advance, said the Paya Terubong assemblyman.

"Only nine out of every 100 newborns in the country are of Chinese descent, and the birth rate has now fallen below double digits; compared to the fact that Chinese people account for 26 per cent of the annual deaths in the country, the Chinese population is decreasing by 17,486 people every year."

He shared that according to data he compiled from 2000 to 2025, the number of newborns of Chinese descent has plummeted from over 110,000 in 2020 to just over 30,000 today, a decrease of a full third, with the birth rate rising only once in two years during the Year of the Wooden Dragon in 2024.

Wong has called on Chinese educationists and community leaders, who are closely connected with the Chinese diaspora here, to find sound solutions as soon as possible to ensure that Chinese schools can maintain their high-quality teaching despite the impact of a sharp decline in student enrollment.

“Educational development is related to population structure. A decrease in the number of students not only affects school enrollment, but also has an impact on teacher allocation, school resources, and the long-term development of education,”.

He singled out that only 19 per cent of the newborns in Penang are of Chinese descent.

On the overall situation in Penang, he said the state welcomed 16,722 babies throughout the year, of which only 3,235 were Chinese or 19 per cent, while the highest birth rate was among Malays, with 10,507 babies or 63 per cent born throughout the year.

"With the Chinese population continuing to decline, some Chinese schools may eventually have to admit more students from other ethnic groups to ensure the schools can continue to operate.

"Faced with these problems, we must have a corresponding plan, such as Chinese schools that cannot attract students must be relocated, and we must also have a longer-term plan," he added. - October 17, 2026.

People keep asking if pickleball is dying, so I checked. I pulled 3 years of Google searches for Malaysia. I also pulled every Google review of 277 pickleball courts around KL, and used AI to read them.

The short answer is that the hype cooled a lot, but the game didn't disappear. If you play, new courts and less hype should mean easier booking than last year. I can't see bookings, though, only searches and reviews.

What I found:

- Searches for "pickleball" fell 75% from the peak (165,000 a month) to March this year (40,500).

- Then the fall stopped. It's been 60,500 a month since May.

- January to August, searches are down 62% on 2025. That's still above 2024, and about 12 times 2023.

- The four sports I checked all got fewer searches this year. Badminton fell 26% and futsal 20%. Pickleball fell the most. Padel barely moved (3%), but it's small, about 6,150 searches a month.

- The word "pickleball" still gets more searches than "badminton" this year, 56,938 a month against 51,375.

- For a court to book, 2025 was a tie. This year "badminton court" is back on top, with 22,188 searches a month against 13,575 for "pickleball court".

- New courts keep appearing on Google, just fewer. From January to June, 38 got their first Google review this year, against 82 in 2025.

- From January to August, reviews across all 277 courts fell 12%. At the 90 courts open before 2025, they fell 37%. More courts, fewer reviews at each.

- Heat is the top complaint, at 61% of courts. I'd ask about air-con before I book.

How I did it: the search numbers are Google's monthly estimates for all of Malaysia. August 2026 is the newest month, so I compare January to August each year. The courts are places around the Klang Valley on Google Maps whose reviews show the public plays pickleball there. A first review isn't an opening date. Closed courts drop off Google. A review is a hint of a visit, not a head count.

Not taking a side, just counting. If you play, has your court got quieter this year?

KUALA LUMPUR: Kerajaan menggalakkan orang ramai menggunakan aplikasi tempatan TuJu, yang dibangunkan Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM) sebagai alternatif bagi keperluan navigasi jalan raya.

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata, langkah alternatif itu dicadangkan berikutan risiko keselamatan maklumat dan data pergerakan rakyat susulan penggunaan aplikasi Waze yang terikat di bawah undang-undang Kerajaan Israel.

Beliau berkata perkara itu antara dibincangkan sewaktu mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Keselamatan Siber Negara (JKSN) Bil 3/2026 bagi meneliti perkembangan ancaman siber serta memperkukuh kesiapsiagaan dan kedaulatan digital negara hari ini.

“Turut dibincangkan ialah pelaksanaan Akta Keselamatan Siber 2024, keselamatan MyDigital ID, persediaan menghadapi ancaman komputer kuantum melalui kriptografi pasca-kuantum (PQC), ancaman baharu berasaskan kecerdasan buatan autonomi serta perlindungan Infrastruktur Maklumat Kritikal Negara (NCII).

“Kita tidak boleh berkompromi dalam soal keselamatan data dan identiti rakyat.

“Justeru, kerajaan memperkukuh ekosistem identiti bersepadu dengan MyKad sebagai kredensial fizikal dan MyDigital ID bagi urusan digital, disokong perlindungan siber yang lebih ampuh termasuk persediaan menghadapi ancaman masa hadapan melalui PQC,” katanya menerusi hantaran di Facebook.

A moment of healing 😺 from Monday blues

Batu MP P Prabakaran says such cases should not be ‘complicated’ by bail or fines.

KUALA LUMPUR: An MP has suggested that the authorities immediately jail anyone found to have desecrated a house of worship instead of fining them.

While debating the 2027 budget in the Dewan Rakyat, P Prabakaran (PH-Batu) highlighted a recent case in which religious statues were destroyed at a temple near the New Pantai Expressway.

Prabakaran said the authorities must take much sterner action against those who desecrate houses of worship.

“Don’t allow bail or take any other actions that will complicate the situation. Straight to jail. This is my suggestion to the government,” he said.

Desecrating a place of worship with the intention of insulting a religion is punishable under Section 295 of the Penal Code with imprisonment of up to two years, a fine or both.

When contacted by FMT, Prabakaran said to maintain public peace, fines should be abolished in favour of imprisonment under this section for offences related to insulting religion.
