Proof that Tom Hanks is a humble person.

-

Tom Hanks is one of Hollywood’s most famous actors. Known for his voice acting of Woody in Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 as well as his groundbreaking performances in Forrest Gump and Cast Away.  

 Hanks has achieved high acclaim and reached a net worth of $350 Million only a few years into his long-lasting career. Despite his fame and fortunes, Hanks hasn’t let it all go to his head. 

 Remaining a humble and not-so-flashy individual. He purchased a modest Scion xB, which left a small dent of just $18,675 in his bank account. The Scion xB is a car associated with people who are on a budget. Hanks is definitely not on a budget, but perhaps he invests his money in other things like charities and business ventures, that we aren’t aware of.

It's been two years since the 14th general election where 60 year ruling party, Barisan Nasional(BN), had come to an end, having the opposition to rise above for the first time in history. Not only did Malaysia face a single event in history, but it received another record when former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed, took an oath once again being the oldest and first ever prime minister to rule twice. Since then, so much has happened. many questioned the capability in whether this new ruling party, Pakatan Harapan (PH), in ruling the country. Mahathir, being the longest serving prime minister, had stepped up to help lead the opposition party.  Just a few days after their win, rumours started going around on an agreement of a transfer of power between Mahathir to former deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim. Yet there were many delays in setting a time or date with Mahathir claiming he needed more time 'to clean up the mess', resulting to serious tension ...

Method Acting : A Quick Explanation

-
Image
To the general public, “method acting” means “going to extreme, often absurd or unhealthy lengths in order to evoke some sort of character state,” e.g. actually going without sleep for five nights because your character is supposed to be exhausted. So people who think of it this way consider it the hallmark of childish,“Just  pretend  you’re tired!” But this is not what method acting actually means. The Method is an rather complex acting system based on some of Stanislavsky’s teachings and writings. He was a Russian actor and director who, at the turn of the 20th Century, revolutionized acting by basing it in psychological realism—as opposed to cartoonish gestures and poses, which was the dominant style before his work. Almost all modern acting training (Method or otherwise) is based on Stanislavsky’s techniques, though, later in life, he wound up rejecting some of the ideas of the Method. By Safwan Kasim

France backs away from chokehold ban following police protests

The French government has dropped plans to ban the use of the controversial chokehold method during arrests, following pressure from police unions. The country's top police chief told staff the technique would no longer be taught in police schools, but could continue to be used until an alternative was found. The government had announced a ban following anti-racism protests. In response, police organised five days of their own demonstrations. France has seen a wave of anti-racism marches sparked by the death of George Floyd, an African American man killed by a white policeman who knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes. The death of Adama Traoré in Paris in 2016 has been likened to the killing of George Floyd. Protesters in France held signs displaying his name and have accused police of using brutality towards minorities. The demonstrations led Interior Minister Christophe Castaner to announce that there would be "zero tolerance" of racism in law enforcement, and a ban...
