Social Media: Jadilah Seperti Rashid – A “Be Like Bill” Copy Cat

Social Media Tech & Web January 14, 2016

0 48 views

Malaysians are all frenzied with the sudden appearance of “Jadilah Seperti Rashid” or Be Like Rashid on social media. While many were not aware, Be Like Rashid is a merely a copy cat of “Be Like Bill” at least in terms of the approach. Of course, Be Like Rashid is shared in the Malay language (Bahasa Malaysia) and some of the scenarios shared are localised content. Well, it’s good to see the “movement” is receiving huge followers, just hope that they don’t manipulate the situations and start claiming they are original. Obviously, “Be Like Bill” inspired their existence.

The iPhone 6 and huge iPhone 6 Plus have been doing great in the market due to its excellent feastures. The new change of the iPhone 6 is its screen size. It’s jumped from a paltry 4-inch to a more contemporary 4.7-inch. It’s still some way behind the rest of the competition though. The more recent Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 manage to pack bigger screens in a bodies not much larger than the iPhone. Despite its size, Apple have designed the iPhone 6 exceptionally well, with curves and sleekness where it needs them. It has its plus points but the main let down is its pricing, which is higher than the rest of its…

Di Sebalik Nilai Segulung Ijazah

Setelah hampir tamatnya minggu pertama kuliah untuk semester baharu, saya terpanggil untuk berkongsi sedikit pandangan dan luahan hati tentang nilai segulung ijazah kepada generasi pelajar pada masa kini. Memang menjadi sesuatu yang lumrah untuk sijil atau ijazah dijadikan bukti atas usaha yang ditabur dalam menuntut ilmu. Segala keringat yang dikerah, masa yang diluang, dan wang ringgit yang ditabur akan dikumpulkan atas sekeping kertas yang bernama ijazah. Kertas ini pasti akan dijaja tidak kira sama ada angka akhir di transkrip itu tinggi ataupun rendah, sebab itulah bukti kepuasan pelaburan yang telah dibuat. Tetapi, dari pengamatan saya khususnya sejak 4 tahun kebelakangan ini, pelajar tidak lagi memberikan nilai yang tinggi kepada ijazah yang mereka bakal perolehi setelah tamatnya pengajian mereka. Kenapa saya berkata demikian? Rata-rata hanya mahukan…

On the day (28 Jan 2015) when two first-year students came to see me regarding their poor results for Semester 1 and expressed their intention to quit, I posted a random Tweet that was somehow “retweeted” or “shared” for more than 2000 times in less than 2 hours. Not only on Twitter, it was shared via my Facebook account as well (with almost 3000 likes and 2500 shared posts). CGPA 3.5 does not equate genius while CGPA 2.0 does not equate idiot. They are just numbers until you prove your worth in life. — Chuah Kee Man (@keemanxp) January 28, 2015 (CGPA = cumulative grade point average – scores given usually to rank students). Within 24 hours, it started to go viral, and many also…
