Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt Lifestyle, recently spilled some beans on one of his actor brand ambassadors. Aman revealed that the actor had an image of being humble, flying economy, being very down-to-earth but he was just the opposite with the boAt team. Gupta revealed that the actor used to throw his weight around and gave them a hard time. "Ek actor tha. Humara brand ambassador tha. Itni akad thi usme...aur news me main padta tha wo kitna sweet hai. Dekho, reporter se kitna acche se baat karta hai. Media se kitna acche se baat karta hai. Dekho zara ye economy class me jaa raha hai. Humaare sath itni akad dikhata tha," he said while speaking to Dostcast on YouTube. (There was an actor who was our brand ambassador. He was so full of himself and in the news, I would read about how sweet he was). "Look how nicely he talks to reporters. See how well he interacts with the media. Oh, look, he's travelling in economy class." But with us, he would show so much arrogance) Aman further detailed how the public had a totally different perception of him that what he was truly. "Mujhe samajh aa gaya tha ki (That's when I realised)...people have mastered the art of being humble," he added. Social media tries to decode Ever since the revelation, social media has gone into an overdrive to deduce who the actor could be. While some are saying it could be Ranveer Singh, some have reasoned that the actor is genuinely humble. There were few who named Diljit Dosanjh but the pop sensation has never flown economy. Majority of people on social media came crashing down on Kartik Aaryan . However, who the actual actor is, only Aman Gupta can clarify.

“Wanted” posters with the names and faces of health care executives have been popping up on the streets of New York. Hit lists with images of bullets are circulating online with warnings that industry leaders should be afraid. Related video above: In an interview with CNN, security services firm talks efforts to protect CEOs The apparent targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the menacing threats that followed have sent a shudder through corporate America and the health care industry in particular, leading to increased security for executives and some workers. In the week since the brazen shooting, health insurers have removed information about their top executives from company websites, canceled in-person meetings with shareholders and advised all employees to work from home temporarily. An internal New York Police Department bulletin warned this week that the online vitriol that followed the shooting could signal an immediate “elevated threat.” Police fear that the Dec. 4 shooting could "inspire a variety of extremists and grievance-driven malicious actors to violence," according to the bulletin, which was obtained by The Associated Press. “Wanted” posters pasted to parking meters and construction site fences in Manhattan included photos of health care executives and the words “Deny, defend, depose” — similar to a phrase scrawled on bullets found near Thompson’s body and echoing those used by insurance industry critics. Thompson's wife, Paulette, told NBC News last week that he told her some people had been threatening him and suggested the threats may have involved issues with insurance coverage. Investigators believe the shooting suspect, Luigi Mangione , may have been motivated by hostility toward health insurers. They are studying his writings about a previous back injury, and his disdain for corporate America and the U.S. health care system. Mangione’s lawyer has cautioned against prejudging the case. Mangione, 26, has remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested Monday. Manhattan prosecutors are working to bring him to New York to face a murder charge. UnitedHealthcare’s parent company, UnitedHealth Group, said this week it was working with law enforcement to ensure a safe work environment and to reinforce security guidelines and building access policies, a spokesperson said. The company has taken down photos, names and biographies for its top executives from its websites, a spokesperson said. Other organizations, including CVS, the parent company for insurance giant Aetna, have taken similar actions. Government health insurance provider Centene Corp. has announced that its investor day will be held online, rather than in-person as originally planned. Medica, a Minnesota-based nonprofit health care firm, said last week it was temporarily closing its six offices for security reasons and would have its employees work from home. Heightened security measures likely will make health care companies and their leaders more inaccessible to their policyholders, said former Cigna executive Wendell Potter. “And understandably so, with this act of violence. There’s no assurance that this won’t happen again,” said Potter, who’s now an advocate for health care reform. Private security firms and consultants have been in high demand, fielding calls almost immediately after the shooting from companies across a range of industries, including manufacturing and finance. Companies have long faced security risks and grappled with how far to take precautions for high-profile executives. But these recent threats sparked by Thompson's killing should not be ignored, said Dave Komendat, a former security chief for Boeing who now heads his own risk-management company. “The tone and tenor is different. The social reaction to this tragedy is different. And so I think that people need to take this seriously,” Komendat said. Just over a quarter of the companies in the Fortune 500 reported spending money to protect their CEOs and top executives. Of those, the median payment for personal security doubled over the last three years to just under $100,000. Hours after the shooting, Komendat was on a call with dozens of chief security officers from big corporations, and there have been many similar meetings since, hosted by security groups or law enforcement agencies assessing the threats, he said. “It just takes one person who is motivated by a poster — who may have experienced something in their life through one of these companies that was harmful," Komendat said. ___ Associated Press reporters Wyatte Grantham-Philips in New York and Barbara Ortutay in San Francisco, contributed to this report.KUALA LUMPUR – Twenty-three year old student Aidil Azmady hails from a suburb in Melaka, the west coast state where more than 70 per cent of the population is made up of ethnic Malay/Muslims like him. He has lived in Bangi, a Malay-majority enclave on the fringes of Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur for the last three years, and has few friends from other races. He is also a beneficiary of affirmative action, which has secured him a spot to study engineering at Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysia France Institute on a scholarship from a government agency. For him, the special privileges given to his community are equivalent to “citizen’s rights”, and should be kept. “I studied in a private college before – the fees are not affordable for Malay students,” he told The Straits Times. Race and the privileges attached to it continue to create dividing lines in multicultural Malaysia. Malays form the majority with 60 per cent of the 32 million population, while Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups make up the remaining 40 per cent. A survey of young people released by independent think-tank Merdeka Center in September revealed that respondents across all ethnicities were evenly split over whether Malaysians should be treated equally regardless of race and religion, with 48 per cent agreeing with equal treatment and 49 per cent in favour of retaining special rights for bumiputeras, or sons of the soil, a grouping comprising mainly Malays and other indigenous people. But when the survey of 1,605 young people aged 18 to 30 drilled down to answers from Malay respondents, it found that 73 per cent of them backed the continuation of bumiputera privileges and only 24 per cent were in favour of equal rights for all Malaysians. According to Merdeka Center, 73% of Malay respondents are in favour of retaining special rights for bumiputeras. This point of view seems to be based less on bigotry or bias, and more on a genuine concern for their economic security and cultural identity – to uplift disadvantaged Malay communities and maintain bumiputera representation, as ST found after speaking to dozens of young Malay people across the country in October. A matter of economic survival In the northern rice-bowl state of Kedah, Mr Syakir Hamzah told ST that special rights are not privileges. They are instead a vital safety net for his community in a rural, low-income area. The 30-year-old padi farmer from Kampung Teroi in Yan, a 45 minute drive from state capital Alor Setar, fears that stripping away these protections could leave those below the poverty line, like him, in dire straits. Mr Syakir’s 1ha rice field is on Malay reserve land that has been in his family for generations, thanks to affirmative action. He has no savings and earns only between RM900 (S$270) and RM950 a month, which puts him in the hardcore poor category in Kedah. Being among the bottom 40 per cent of income earners in the country, he receives some financial assistance from the Malaysian government in the form of RM350 a year in cash, and an undisclosed sum from zakat, state-administered alms donated by Muslims. A large part of his income goes into servicing a loan from local Chinese traders who sell him farming supplies such as pesticides and fertilisers. He claims that many Chinese own sizeable padi fields and often charge Malays higher rice milling fees while offering better prices to their own community, though he has not encountered such practices. He said these matters make him wary of Chinese traders, even though he is on friendly terms with his Chinese neighbours. “If we give (bumiputera rights) away and the Malay economy collapses, it will be difficult for us to get back up,” he said, referring to the traditional economic activities associated with the Malay community such as agriculture and fishing. Malaysia adopted its New Economic Policy (NEP) more than 50 years ago to address economic inequalities between ethnic groups, following the May 13, 1969, racial riots that claimed nearly 200 lives and injured hundreds more. The affirmative action programme, aimed at eradicating poverty, and social restructuring, has evolved over the decades but generally gives preferential treatment to bumiputeras in the form of government jobs or contracts, discounted housing, requirements on bumiputera shareholding for listed companies, and racial quotas in education. In 1970, the median household income for bumiputeras was 28% below the national median. In 2022, it narrowed to 9% below the national median. While the policy has succeeded in raising the economic status of millions of bumiputeras, it has also been criticised for fostering dependency on government support and creating a sense of unfairness felt among other ethnic groups, potentially hindering Malaysia’s competitiveness. Rural youth see the policy as a “social ladder they can use to climb up the social economic class”, Merdeka Center’s senior research manager Tan Seng Keat told ST. Meanwhile, urban Malay young people are exposed to different experiences and see that the competition is not within Malaysia, but with the rest of the world, he said. Supporters of the policy say it has succeeded in creating a confident, professional Malay class of doctors, lawyers, engineers, bankers and accountants, and vastly reduced poverty levels for this ethnic group. Former top banker Nazir Razak told ST in June that one affirmative action success story was Malaysia’s near eradication of poverty, from 60 per cent in 1969 to 6 per cent in 2022. There are no two ways about Malaysia’s success in eradicating poverty and the NEP was at the centre of it. No one can dispute that the NEP has resulted in this massive expansion of the middle class and growth in Malay professionals. Based on figures from the Department of Statistics Malaysia, about 19 per cent of bumiputeras fell within the country’s T20 band or top 20 per cent of income earners (comprising households with a combined gross monthly income of RM11,001 and above) in 2022 . This is compared with the Chinese and Indians who had a higher proportion of their communities in this income tier at 34 per cent and 24 per cent respectively. Meanwhile, the proportion of bumiputeras in the B40 band or bottom 40 per cent of income earners stood at 41.6 per cent – higher than that for its middle class at 39.6 per cent. For the Chinese and Indians, their middle class numbers comprised 38.2 per cent and 42 per cent of their communities respectively. These far exceeded the proportion of their B40 band earners at 27.4 per cent and 34.1 per cent respectively. Bumiputeras are less likely to be in Malaysia’s top-earners band , and more likely to be in the low-earners band compared with other ethnic groups. This continued wealth disparity between the races is a key reason why the Malay community still needs to rely heavily on educational and economic assistance, says Mr Fariz Md Zain, a 26-year-old Islamic religious teacher from Pokok Sena, a rural town in Kedah. His family members are beneficiaries of bumiputera policies that allowed them to access training and scholarships, and improve their circumstances. His oldest brother Ridzuan trained to become a technician through a vocational training course at a GiatMara technical institution under Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara), a government agency created in 1966 to give Malays a leg up in education and the economy. His older sister Nur Mazni is now a syariah lawyer after studying at Universiti Teknologi Mara or UiTM, a bumiputera-only university. “My sister received a Mara scholarship, otherwise we would not have been able to afford to send her for studies,” he told ST. Factory technician Mohamad Firdaus Abdullah, 26, puts it bluntly, saying: “I wouldn’t be where I am today without bumiputera rights.” He was referring to his sponsored studies at a Mara-run institute in Melaka. “It’s easy for the successful and rich Malays to say that we can abolish (bumiputera rights). They forget about the rest of us who are poor.” Mr Firdaus, who lives in Ipoh, in the north-west state of Perak, is critical of those who say these rights should be scrapped, pointing out that it is often the successful who call for change, forgetting those who still struggle. Still, he notes that the Malays should not be comfortable with just getting assistance. “We need to work hard like the Chinese, especially since we have this advantage. We need to better ourselves.” For those like Mr Firdaus, these rights are less about privileges, and more about ensuring them a fair chance to thrive in a competitive landscape. Recognising cultural identity A common refrain from the youth ST spoke to was that Malaysia was “Tanah Melayu” or Malay land. They see their community’s bumiputera rights as a recognition of their birthright, cultural identity and status as the indigenous people of Malaysia. For them, it is a matter of pride, and the preservation of the Malay identity and culture in a multi-ethnic society. Affirmative action policies are seen as a way to protect bumiputera representation in every aspect of it. “Malay rights should not be abolished because Malays have been here from the start. Malaysia was called Tanah Melayu, and the Chinese and Indians came here from China and India only a few years before independence,” said Ms Sharifah Dania, an 18-year-old student in Johor Bahru (below). In fact, millions of Chinese and Indian migrants arrived in Malaysia in the late 19th century to work in tin mines and rubber estates when the country was under British colonial rule. They were granted citizenship when Malaysia became independent in 1957. While Malaysia’s communal relations have been largely peaceful since 1969, differences in language, customs and religious beliefs have on occasion heightened misunderstandings and tensions. Dr Serina Rahman, a lecturer in the department of South-east Asian studies at the National University of Singapore, and associate fellow at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, said how different races interact boils down to exposure and positive experiences with people different from oneself. “Urban youth are more likely to be in multi-ethnic, multi-religious situations, and are able to find out more about different cultures and faiths,” she explained. “So there is less fear and more understanding that we are all in this together.” According to Dr Serina, fear of the unknown and few opportunities to engage with people of other ethnicities could fan mistrust and conflict, especially among the youth on social media. “This is why people believe negative stories or divisive and hateful TikTok posts and WhatsApp messages. They have no positive personal experiences to (make them) believe otherwise,” she said. Today’s youth have more opportunity to move beyond ethnic bubbles, particularly if they are working or living in the urban centres, she added. “But a lot rests on their willingness to learn more about other ethnicities and practices. As they are generally better educated and internet savvy, they should have access to more information. And hopefully, (they) will decide to look beyond online racist tropes to determine for themselves whether there is much difference between people.” For the Kelantanese, assimilation and unity begins with speaking their local Malay dialect, commonly referred to as Kecek Kelate. In this east coast state, which has been governed by the conservative Parti Islam SeMalaysia since 1990, Malays make up 95 per cent of the population. “Regardless of whether you’re Chinese, Bugis, or Siamese, we all live in the same village... We adapt to the local environment. We speak Kelate,” said Mr Mohd Iruanzi Mohd Ghazali, a 30-year-old motorcycle workshop owner in the small Kelantan town of Kuala Krai. Over in state capital Kota Bharu, Mr Muhammad Aizuddin Ghazni, who runs a smash burger stall, believes that a common language makes it easier for different races to establish ties, and is against having separate schools for different ethnic groups. “We prefer people here to speak Malay. It’s easier for everyone to integrate... These (separate schools) divide us from a young age. How can we foster unity?” he said, referring to Malaysia’s vernacular schools where the medium of instruction is Mandarin or Tamil. Malaysia’s public schools use the national language, Malay, as the medium of instruction. But vernacular schools remain part of the education system for ethnic minorities to preserve their cultural heritage and language. In recent years, Chinese vernacular schools have also seen enrolment of Malay students keen to learn Mandarin. Malaysians are generally tolerant and appreciative of cultural diversity, said Dr Lee Hwok-Aun, senior fellow at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore. He acknowledges, however, that race relations can be “multi-faceted and complicated”. “There are differences in terms of putting the national Malaysian identity first versus ethno-religious identity first,” he told ST. National unity and the way forward For some young Malays, the affirmative action policy has run its course and the country should move towards equal rights for all races. Their views were in the minority – 24 per cent of young Malays in the Merdeka Center survey and ST’s own poll of 51 respondents across Kedah, Perak, Kelantan, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Johor in October. Notably, however, 28 per cent of the young Malays ST spoke to said bumiputera privileges should be kept, but reformed to focus more on socio-economic needs rather than race. ST’s own poll shows 28 per cent of young Malay respondents say bumiputera privileges should be kept, but reformed. Reflecting some of the younger Malays’ views that focus on fairness and inclusivity, bank employee Megat Dzulhisham said special rights for Malays remain important, but the government should increase opportunities for non-Malays in education to foster equality. “When it comes to race relations for Malaysia’s future, we shouldn’t (touch) Malay special privileges because we are still the majority and a lot of Malays will be left behind,” he said. “But I think the government should review the public university quota system to help impoverished non-Malays elevate themselves.” The 26-year-old from Perak state capital Ipoh, where Chinese and Indians make up just over half the population, said he had many non-Malay friends who were straight-A students but could not get a spot in any of the country’s 20 public universities. “They can’t afford private universities so their parents had to take loans while a less qualified Malay who is not even interested in studying was given a place in the university,” he told ST. Such racial quotas in education foster division rather than unity, said college student Syarifa Meddina Suheimi, who is of Malay, Chinese and Indian heritage. “I don’t personally support the Malay special rights in education because it creates a mindset and lifestyle of separation between Malays and non-Malays. It feels like it divides us rather than bringing everyone together as one nation,” said the 20-year-old from the capital Kuala Lumpur. Ms Izzati Hassanuddin, a 25-year-old from Johor’s rural Kota Tinggi district who works in administration, says bumiputera rights help reduce the socio-economic gap between ethnic groups. But she thinks the system can be reformed to prioritise need over ethnicity. “I think there needs to be a better balance – a system that recognises student merit while ensuring that those who genuinely need support, regardless of ethnicity, are given equal educational opportunities,” she said. Moving forward, the Malaysian government needs to invest more on education and narrow the socio-economic gaps, focusing on needs-based aid, said Merdeka Center’s Mr Tan. This approach, to shift the discussion from ethnicity to economic class, is echoed in recent moves by the government to phase out blanket subsidies and put cash in the hands of those who really need it, irrespective of race. In the Budget 2025 initiatives announced in October, Malaysian Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim took aim at the “mahakaya” or ultra-rich, saying they will no longer enjoy petrol subsidies that cost the government RM20 billion annually. He also said that his government would look at getting the wealthy to pay higher education and healthcare fees, which are also currently subsidised for all citizens. Over in the sleepy town of Kuala Kubu Bharu, about an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur, a century-old coffee shop is a promising example of multicultural unity at work. The Chinese owner of Sun Sun Nam Cheong restaurant, Mr Tan Sew Sewan, 77, is preparing to hand over his business to his employees, as his three children are pursuing other careers. “I plan on passing this business to my staff. Whoever is interested and best-suited will inherit it. It doesn’t matter who they are, what race they are from.” A 17-year-old Malay part-time worker, a student who wanted to be known only as Bob, is learning the ropes from Mr Tan. He began working at the coffee shop six months ago to support his ill mother and younger brother. “Multiculturalism is very important to me. If it weren’t for Uncle Tan, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity to learn from him about how to run a restaurant business. As Malaysians, we shouldn’t just tolerate one another but accept one another,” said Bob.

Iran Seeks Calm Rather Than Chaos In Syria: FM

OTTAWA — Two senior members of the federal cabinet were in Florida Friday pushing Canada's new border plan with Donald Trump's transition team, a day after Trudeau himself appeared to finally push back at the president-elect over his social media posts about turning Canada into the 51st state. Both Trudeau and former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who Trudeau has been courting to become Canada's next finance minister, shared posts on X Thursday, a day after Trump's latest jab at Canada in his Christmas Day message. It isn't clear if Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who has repeatedly insisted Trump's 51st state references are a joke, will raise the issue with Trump's team when he and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly meet with them in Palm Beach. The two are there to discuss Canada's new $1.3 billion border plan with just under four weeks left before Trump is sworn in again as president. He has threatened to impose a new 25 per cent import tariff on Canada and Mexico the same day over concerns about a trade imbalance, as well as illegal drugs and migration issues at the borders. The broad strokes of Canada's plan were made public Dec. 17, including a new aerial intelligence task force to provide round-the-clock surveillance of the border, and improved efforts using technology and canine teams to seek out drugs in shipments leaving Canada LeBlanc's spokesman, Jean-Sébastien Comeau, said the ministers will also emphasize the negative impacts of Trump's threatened tariffs on both Canada and the U.S. Comeau said the ministers will build on the discussions that took place last month when Trudeau and LeBlanc met Trump at Mar-a-Lago just days after Trump first made his tariff threat. It was at that dinner on Nov. 29 when Trump first raised the notion of Canada becoming the 51st state, a comment LeBlanc has repeatedly since insisted was just a joke. But Trump has continued the quip repeatedly in various social media posts, including in his Christmas Day message when he said Canadians would pay lower taxes and have better military protection if they became Americans. He has taken to calling Trudeau "governor" instead of prime minister. Trudeau had not directly responded to any of the jabs, but on Thursday posted a link to a six-minute long video on YouTube from 2010 in which American journalist Tom Brokaw "explains Canada to Americans." The video, which originally aired during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, explains similarities between the two countries, including their founding based on immigration, their trading relationship and the actions of the Canadian Army in World War 2 and other modern conflicts. "In the long history of sovereign neighbours there has never been a relationship as close, productive and peaceful as the U.S. and Canada," Brokaw says in the video. Trudeau did not expand about why he posted a link to the video, posting it only with the words "some information about Canada for Americans." Carney, who is at the centre of some of Trudeau's recent domestic political troubles, also called out Trump's antics on X Thursday, calling it "casual disrespect" and "carrying the 'joke' too far." "Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership," said Carney, who Trudeau was courting to join his cabinet before Chrystia Freeland resigned as finance minister last week. Freeland's sudden departure, three days after Trudeau informed her he would be firing her as finance minister in favour of Carney, left Trudeau's leadership even more bruised than it already was. Despite the expectation Carney would assume the role, he did not and has not made any statements about it. LeBlanc was sworn in as finance minister instead the same day Freeland quit. More than two dozen Liberal MPs have publicly called on Trudeau to resign as leader, and Trudeau is said to be taking the holidays to think about his next steps. He is currently vacationing in British Columbia. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 27, 2024. Alessia Passafiume, The Canadian PressKirk Marsden from Blackburn was taken to Royal Preston Hospital on Christmas Day and died in the early hours of Boxing Day. He suffered from “multiple serious injuries” after being struck by a Toyota Land Cruiser outside The Gate Street Bar and Grill on the corner of Moorgate Street on December 25. In a tribute, Kirk’s family wrote: “To our hero, spread your wings far and wide your partner Leanne and your babies love you millions. You really were like no other, goodnight x “Kirk you were a well-loved son, brother and uncle who will be sorely missed. Rest with your dad now in heaven x.” Sharing on social media, son Kirky Marsden said, “Gonna miss you dad” which received an overwhelming response. One person commented: “I'm so sorry lad, your dad was an incredible man, never seen him without a smile and also brought a smile to everyone's faces.” Another added: “Absolutely heartbreaking for you and your sisters. Look after your mum but take care of yourself. You are an amazing family and we love you so much.” Tilly Louise Yates said: “love you always uncle we adore you.” Donna Marie Jamieson shared: “R.i.p my little brother you will be missed by so many. You were one in a million, fly high.” Hundreds of others offered condolences to Kirk’s loved ones including his partner Leanne and his children. Katie Louise Skarratts added: “What a shame. Kirk was one of my customers and was such a lovely person who would always stop and chat whenever I saw him knocking about. Sending love to Kirk’s family at this terrible time, thinking of you.” Kirk Marsden died on Boxing Day (Image: GMP) READ MORE: Murder investigation launched after man struck by car in Blackburn on Christmas Day Lancashire Police have today launched a murder investigation following the incident and two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder. A 58-year-old man of no fixed address and a 31-year-old man from Blackburn remain in custody. DCI Bryony Midgley, from the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “This incident has led to a man losing his life and first and foremost our thoughts remain with Kirk’s loved ones. “The investigation team is making progress with their enquiries and have since recovered a Toyota Land Cruiser from a carpark in Brindle Street. We know that following the fatal collision, the Land Cruiser turned right onto Livesey Branch Road. “I would ask anyone with CCTV, dashcam or doorbell which covered the area between Livesey Branch Road and Brindle Street in between 4.48pm and 5pm on Christmas Day to check their footage to see if they have captured a Toyota Land Cruiser to make contact with my team. “This is being treated as an isolated incident and we know there was an altercation in The Gate prior to the fatal incident outside. I would ask any witnesses we haven’t already spoken to or anybody with mobile phone footage to also make contact with my team. “I am aware that news of this incident will cause some concern in the community. I’d like to reassure everyone that we have increased reassurance patrols in the area.” Anyone with information or footage is asked to call police on 101, quoting log 747 of 27th December 2024.Althom Shares of Ulta Beauty ( NASDAQ: ULTA ) have been on an upward trend since the beauty retailer announced third quarter earnings.
