In actuality, the event happened 5 months ago from the time of writing. I was driving grab part time. The rationale of this writing is the feeling of a weight and the thought of this event that I cannot get out of my head until I write it down, unload it somewhere and finally let go.
The drive is as usual that night but I’m about to call it a day when I got another ping from grab app for another job. Just minutes ago, I was coming from Padang Kota Lama to drop off 3 western tourists at the port entrance right before the roundabout with the famous egg sculpture where they will be heading to pier Swettenham. The ping for the next job is just right around the corner after I exited the roundabout. I stop and press the “I’ve arrived button” then proceed to call the passengers number through the app. This is a normal procedure if the passenger is not within my sight right away. Another man picks up the call and speaks Malay to me.

IntroductionWith the advancement of technology we are able to perform great feats. From healthcare where we are able to print 3D functional organs to creating environments through virtual reality (VR), and more possibilities are still waiting to be discovered. Our mobile phones too have evolved through the decade. Going by the name smartphones, it is now able to perform what the predecessor is able to and more. For example, video call, play games that requires a decent amount of graphic memory and more. With all the benefits aside, there are still downside to it. With the rise of pornography in the digital age, society today are poisoned by this problem. This addiction has impacted many aspects of an individual's life negatively. Sadly 64% of young people ages 13-24 actively watch oftenly or weekly (“NCOSE”, 2018). This have sparked a public outcry which the governments are responding by issuing bans to access pornographic sites or materials. In certain regions like asia, porn is vile and considered immoral while in western countries, it is considered as a form of art. Apparently in AD 79, archaeologist discovered hundreds of sexually explicit sculptures and other materials buried under the city of Pompeii. Over the opposite side of the globe, sexually explicit sculptures was also found in India dated back to Circa 950 (Head, T. 2018).
Advantages and disadvantages of supervised learning
Advantages of supervised learning Based on a study by (Mohamed, 2017):
Supervised learningAn easy way to begin grasping the concept of supervised learning is by looking directly at the words that make it up supervised means to observe and direct the execution of a task project or activity. Instead of supervising a person, we will be supervising a machine learning model that might be able to produce classification regions. According to (Fielding, 1999), how machine learning is supervised is by loading the model with knowledge so that it could predict future instances. The next, question is how exactly AI expert teach this model? The model is taught by training it with some data from a labelled dataset as shown by the figure below.
1. Complexity of managing data qualityData integration is a problem when huge amount of data come from various sources and from different format, when analysing these data, it can be difficult. Data can also contain noise which increase the complexity of managing it because some dataset can contain duplicates, wrong information or even contradictions (Kaisler et al., 2013). For example, data which is lacking value attributes, interest, or contains only aggregate data as described in (Shichao, Chengqi and Qiang, 2007). Data with these drawbacks will not have valuable insights and become unreliable.
Kad Pengenalan or MyKad is the National identity card for Malaysian citizen. Malaysia is one of the early adopter to adopt this technology as the country’s general authentication method. The MyKad incorporates sophisticated technology during its time of issuance. The said plastic card has built in computer chip which stores the card holder’s bio data as well as photos and fingerprint data. Manufactured by IRIS Corporation, which features 64kb storage capacity and operated by MyKad Chip Operating System as described in (Ai Kee et al., 2012).
The current system itself already supports Multi-factor authentication where for official use suppose in a bank, the authentication process for money transaction over the counter requires the card’s data to be matched with owner’s fingerprint. For a more robust authentication we could add another alternative biometrics, we proposed iris data because it is the best type of biometrics authentication as stated by (Chong, Teoh and Ngo, 2006). Then to increase the security, it could be coupled with a pin number just like the ATM pin number. An example scenario of this authentication process would be withdrawing from the Automated Teller Machine. First, MyKad would be inserted then the pin number is entered and lastly the person just has to look directly to the camera (iris scanner) to complete the authentication process.
The most wonderful things happen when you less expected it. I get to handshake, selfie and most importantly give a letter to not only Tun Dr. Mahathir but also Dato' Seri Anwar. On the 11th August 2018, UKEC had its 12th instalment (the best one yet) of the Malaysian Student Leaders’ Summit (MSLS) XII at Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur. UKEC had the privilege to host esteemed speakers such as YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, YABhg Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, YABhg Tun Daim Zainuddin and many more who are experts in their respective fields to discuss on issues that range from the future of Malaysian politics to bribe-free businesses and from the opportunities in ASEAN to student activism.
The story of us joining the APEC App Challenge 2018 at Papua New Guinea. One week before the competition I and Ram were just preparing for the challenge. We received the full details of the app requirements on Monday of 14th May right after our final exam. The aim of the challenge is to create a solution to give back the selling power to bilum mama who is a bilum maker. We consult the advice from Dr. Gomesh, our KDU supervisor. From there, we discussed about the ideas to work on. APEC release our flight ticket and insurance. We felt as excited as I’ve never had such a long distanced flight, moreover in the fasting month of Ramadhan. We listed down all the problem statement and ways to solve them. Finally we finalize the idea and start building it. I decided that we use flutter a new framework for building mobile apps on android and ios. I chose this because I can see the potential of this being effective and one of the sponsor for the competition is Google. Furthermore, I will be using it for our next client project.
Artificial Intelligent (AI) is a broad area in computer science that makes machines to have humanlike intelligent. The extensive implementation of AI in present-day world will eventually cause ephemeralization which describe as the tendency of technology doing more and more with less and less until eventually the system can do anything with nothing (Fuller, 2000, 252). The "sage on the stage" model of teaching has been the style of teaching for a thousand years since Oxford popularized the method in the west. But it is an expensive and unsustainable model. At major universities, students’ personal interaction is usually just with a graduate teaching assistant or a study group. Knowledge is moving so fast that printed texts can't keep to the current. Traversing a campus every day is a massive time sink. If AI succeeds in giving personalized feedback and teaching then the Oxford model of education will soon perished. The ability to utilize AI to improve and expediting the learning process can ease everything from evaluation and admissions to student’s access to critical resource. The debate here is if AI technology really helps improve education and to which degree should we use it.
World economy have seen rises and falls. Globalization has reached the 4th revolution. Business has always plays a major role in the society. Business is a competitive activity which continues to shape the general public. More and more creative and business-minded people establishing their company and grow to become entrepreneur. Consider the two main style of business endeavour which are retail store and online store. Both are lucrative source of income if the business is done properly. Both are still surviving with excellence in the era of treacherous economic ground. Some say e-commerce is not a strong foundation for long-term in business perspective, while others believe business have to keep up with the trends to stay in the field. Online or offline business have their own advantage and disadvantage to be considered.
