PKR veep Chang says not quitting, rubbishes allegations 11 PKR MPs withdraw support for PM
KUALA LUMPUR: Two Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) MPs have denied allegations that they, along with nine others, have withdrawn their support for PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also serving as Prime Minister. PKR vice-president Chang Lih Kang, who is also Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, described the allegations as ridiculous. "Rafizi (Ramli) and Nik Nazmi's (Nik Ahmad) resignations from Cabinet are out of decorum and in the spirit of democracy. Others need not sully the waters. That's all," the Tanjung Malim MP said in a Facebook late Wednesday (May 28) night. Rumours have swirled as a result of a viral screenshot on WhatsApp and on the Facebook account of blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, popularly known as Papagomo, claiming that 11 PKR MPs - Rafizi (Pandan), Nik Nazmi (Setiawangsa), Chang (Tanjung Malim), Tan Kar Hing (Gopeng), Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir (Johor Baru), Wong Chen (Subang), Zahir Hassan (Wangsa Maju), Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (Ledang), Lee Chean Chung (Petaling Jaya), Onn Abu Bakar (Batu Pahat) and Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun (Port Dickson) - have withdrawn their support for Anwar and will hold a media conference on May 30 about the matter. Meanwhile, Tan condemned the allegations on Facebook, describing it as a malicious political slander. "I strongly deny the allegations made by Muhammad Azri in an FB post. My stand and idealism in the struggle have not changed even with the recent party election results," he said, adding that he had obtained advice from his lawyer and did not deny the possibility of taking legal action. Rafizi and Nik Nazmi announced their resignation as ministers effective June 17 and July 4, respectively, following their losses in the recent PKR party election, where Rafizi lost his deputy president's post to Nurul Izzah Anwar and Nik Nazmi failed in securing a vice-president's post. - Bernama

When artists have virtual conversations about art
No literate member of the human species has ever been spared an exclusive membership in the billions of WhatsApp groups that orbit around planet Earth. Even the senior members of the tribe would be enrolled in the main and flourishing sub-sects of the clan groups. Waking up to a good morning quote with a bright sunrise or ending the day with a goodnight quote with a teddy bear coaxing you to close your eyes and call it a day has become the universal code for every group's smooth functioning. How the hours in between are tackled and the nature of the topics that are debated depend on the purpose laid out for the formation of the collective in the first place. Family groups, for instance, are a collection of antonyms in human form. There are the elderly patriarchs and matriarchs of the dynasty who just can't get enough of the power they can continue to wield in their twilight years with a mere click of a finger, and periodically forward mind-numbing jokes. Then there are those eternally-in-pilgrimage mode aunties who consider their spiritual and religious posts as the gospel of salvation for the kin. The freshly settled ones bombard the group with photographs of their new car from every angle, the Bali holiday, and that handshake of appreciation from the big boss in the office headquarters. The already settled down and worn out ones, drudging towards retirement consistently share snapshots of the calories they have burned and the steps they have walked per day, as if life's every moment has to be measured to be meaningful. Amidst all this, the younger lot of cousins form their own groups to giggle at all this and to make their own travel plans together.

Passengers trapped in London train tunnel for two hours
Thameslink is working to get passengers off the train and restore the power supply to tracks following an issue that has sparked lengthy delays to travel in and out of London. A travel warning has been put in place as several passengers have been trapped in a train tunnel for hours. There are fears for the health of those onboard the London train, with the heat and lack of water quickly becoming a concern. One passenger said people are starting to "feel ill" and struggling to remain calm, while others have pleaded for an evacuation. Passenger Goran Kray complained of the situation on the train to Thameslink on social media. He said: "Let's swap places mate so that we can preach to you about staying calm in a carriage with no power, aircon, water and total lack of information. Having been in this situation since 19:42." Matt Dunn also said passengers trapped on the train had started to feel ill due to the heat and lack of water, reports the Mirror. In a response to Thameslink on X/Twitter he said: "Passengers are starting to feel ill due to heat and lack of water. You need to get us off this train. Please allow a controlled evacuation." Thameslink has also now confirmed the passengers were trapped due to an electrical supply failure. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A Thameslink spokesperson said the power supplied to the track between London St Pancras and West Hampstead Thameslink needed to be restored. He added: "We are working to get all passengers off the train." Issues were first reported around 8pm tonight, with lines blocked in both directions due to the electric supply failure between the two stations. "If your train has come to a stand in between stations, please remain on board and do not attempt to leave the train unless directed to by a member of staff," Thameslink said in post shared to social media. "We know where you are and we are working to get you on the move again shortly."

WhatsApp is testing a simple Logout option
WhatsApp is constantly working on new features, which are generally seen in beta versions before being released. That's also the case today, when some enterprising folks dug through the latest WhatsApp beta for Android and found an upcoming Logout option in Account settings. Once it goes live, when you tap it you'll be presented with two options - one of those will have you log out while also erasing all of your data and preferences, while the other will keep your data and preferences. WhatsApp Logout option in testing If you pick the route that will erase your data, it's basically just like uninstalling WhatsApp. It logs you out and deletes all app data and preferences, but doesn't remove you from groups. On the other hand, the option that won't erase data simply logs you out without touching anything else - your chats, group chats, data, and preferences will all be there waiting for you when you get back. You can then restore everything easily by simply signing in again with your phone number. So, with that in mind, this feature seems to be tailor made for those who want to take a short break from WhatsApp for whatever reason. The Logout option still shows an "Internal" badge which tells us that it's being actively tested internally in the WhatsApp development team. The next step should be a full beta release for everyone, followed of course by the stable release sometime after that. Source
