12 Aug - Another engineer-turned-cooking influencer won Creator of the Year as Qayyum Halid aka Che Sayang Kitchen won the accolade at the TikTok Awards Malaysia 2024.

The content creator bested other big contenders including Ryan Bakery, Sofyank and even Sofea Shrea to win in the category at the event held at the KL World Trade Centre.

"I thank all the voters. It felt impossible to achieve this, but thanks to doubled efforts, this was all made a reality," said the content creator, real name Qayyum Halid.

The data engineer hailing from Perak had a similar history as the celebrated content creator Khairul Aming, in that he had faced various failed attempts at a career in business before finally making it in content creation.

His "2-Minute Recipe" videos attracted the attention of many social media viewers, enabling him to gain 742,000 followers on Instagram and 2 million followers on TikTok.

Prior to winning the accolade, he was awarded Best National Food Influencer at the KNKV Viral Award 2024 earlier this year.

As TikTok faces a US shutdown, here are some alternative apps to check out
TikTok has warned of a looming shutdown in just six days, as the Supreme Court is currently weighing the law that would ban the app. The law gives TikTok parent company ByteDance until January 19 to divest its U.S. operations or face a ban in the country. TikTok is hoping for a pause to the law, but If that doesn’t happen, the app will effectively be banned in the country.

Mum's battle with Meta and Snapchat after son took life in "challenge"
A bereaved mum is fighting social media giants Snapchat and Meta over fears her 14-year-old son killed himself in a 'online challenge' gone wrong. Ellen Roome is campaigning to access accounts of her son Jools Sweeney as she believes it holds the answers as to why he took his own life. Jools was found dead in his bedroom after taking his own life but a coroner was unable to confirm if he was in a suicidal mood before his death. Ms Roome said Jools did a "lot of online challenges" and fears he fell victim to a 'dark and dangerous' one such as Blackout - linked to the deaths of dozens of young people. She has since been campaigning for "Jools' Law" - which would allow parents to access the social media accounts of their children if they died. The petition, which gained 126,000 signatures, was debated in Parliament on Monday, January 13.

North Korea's suicide soldiers pose new challenge for Ukraine in war with Russia
After a battle in Russia's snowy western region of Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces scoured the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers. But it is among mounting evidence from the battlefield, intelligence reports and testimonies of defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures as they support Russia's three-year war with Ukraine. "Self-detonation and suicides: that's the reality about North Korea," said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, requesting he only be identified by his surname due to fears of reprisals against his family left in the North.
