In a blog post, Facebook-owned WhatsApp finally announced that it will be fully free! The minimal US$0.99 subscription fee (after free use for 1 year) is not longer applicable to all users.

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.

Obviously, “Be Like Bill” inspired their existence.
