"Aku Jimat"

There’s a game on Apple’s official website that you can download at http://itunes.apple.com/my/app/aku-jimat/id490098030?mt=8 that has the potential to be as big as Angry Birds! This game called “Aku Jimat” serves to educate kids on the importance of saving, after which they can then splurge on something really expensive. Once the player has saved as much as possible, he or she will be required to buy 12 items in the game. Like lavish rings and haute couture handbags.

Created by Antartic Group, the mobile game was introduced last December. The reason it is catching the interest of many Malaysians is because it pokes fun at Rosmah Mansor, the free-spending wife of Prime Minister Najib Razak. The main character has a hair-do that is not dissimilar to Rosmah’s! Check out Rosmah’s hair-do here:

Just as the DAP are reaching out to the Malays – it is heartening to note that they have also set up a Dayak Consultative Council (DCC). This move came about because of the failure of Dayak leaders to highlight their community’s problems in Parliament and in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly.

Jeneri Amir, a senior lecturer in the faculty of social science at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak described DAP’s move as “concrete and pragmatic”. He expressed confidence that DAP will win the hearts and minds of the Dayaks. “In order to have more impact on Sarawak politics, DAP needs to expand its influence in other areas especially the Dayak areas,” he opined.

Way to go, DAP!
