But earlier today Malaysia has recorded 15,573 new Covid-19 cases today (July 23), the highest number of daily cases in the country to date. If the daily cases do not subside, Malaysia will soon hit 1 million cases in totality.
The man who is infamous and talented for not wearing a mask in the MRT previously went to court without a mask and was later forced to wear a mask or denied entry into the court.
He was stopped by security guards on the scene who told him to wear a mask.
The infamous British FT who not only argued why he did not wear a mask in the MRT and later even threatened to knock the Police down appeared in court without a mask again and again.
Earlier today the “talented” man has yet seen again going to court without a mask. His sheer defiance is what many considers “bravery” but most people saying it is more like “stubborn”.
What happened before:
When Glynn approached two police officers at the ground floor elevator lobby of the Allsworth Park condominium along Holland Road about 12:30 a.m. on May 9, he reportedly made threatening comments against them.
While taking a boxing stance, he allegedly threatened the cops, “I’m going to f***ing drop you.”

Recently, Starhub announced that it will offer two years of free rental of its StarHub TV+ box worth S$120 to customers who turn in their old pirate set-top boxes starting Saturday, 24/07/2021.
This is done in line with the Copyright Bill that was tabled in Parliament earlier this month which makes it illegal to sell set-top boxes that offer access to pirated content if the bill is passed.
Customers can dispose their pirate set-top boxes at selected StarHub shops.
Starhub said:
“Starting tomorrow (24 July), StarHub will grant a total of S$120 to each customer willing to part ways with pirate set-top boxes that may not be in compliance with the proposed amendments to Singapore’s Copyright Act.”
“In exchange, customers will get free two-year rental of StarHub TV+ box, a plug-and-play Android TV-based media player which offers one-screen-for-all cinematic viewing experience with Ultra HD 4K support and fast Wi-Fi connectivity.”

A man appealed against an interim divorce judgment granted to his wife, on the grounds that she was a lesbian who wanted to divorce him to live with her female partner.
He was of the belief that if his appeal was granted, his wife would return to him.
However, his appeal was dismissed by Justice Choo Han Teck on 23 July, who commented that it was too late.
Justice Choo also added that for the man, love was no longer on the cards.
The couple got married in 2009 and they had a daughter and son in 2011 and 2013 respectively.
THe wife claimed that their marriage broke down in 2013.
She then left their matrimonial home in 2019 and filed for divorce against him in 2020, citing unreasonable behaviour.
The husband didn’t file his defence and the court passed an interim judgment in her favour in November 2020.
The husband applied to rescind the judgment but was dismissed.
He then appealed against the dismissal, on the basis that his wife didn’t reveal that she was a lesbian who left their marriage to live with her female partner.
He believed that the interim judgment wouldn’t have been granted if the court knew of the matter.
Justice Choo said that there was no merit to his argument, and that it “made no legal sense”.
He also added that “from the evidence before me, (it is) unlikely to achieve anything but a prolongation of mutual grief.”
“It is too late now.”
The custody of the children is also yet to be decided, and the children are living with their father at the moment.
