The famous rickshaw manufacturer Sazgar Engineering Works acquired ‘Category A- Greenfield Investment Status’ under the government’s new automotive policy.

According to a letter received by Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) all vehicles made by Sazgar will be sold under the name ‘BAIC’.

Company secretary Arshad Mahmood in an official notification last year to PSX announced the completion of Sazgar automobile assembly plant.

He wrote:

The project will be completed by June 30, 2019 while the plant would have a production capacity of 24,000 units per annum

Now, photos of the highly anticipated Sazgar BAIC D20 Hatchback have surfaced. A right-hand-drive BAIC D20 hatchback was spotted by DemLahoriGuys at Emporium Mall.

According to the license registration, the vehicle was registered in September 2019 by Sazgar Engineering Works Limited.

The BAIC D20 has been based on 2004 Smart Forfour and is heavily inspired by the first generation Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

BAIC has acquired a 5% stake in Daimler AG. Daimler also holds a 9.55% stake in BAIC as well as a 3.01% interest in BAIC BluePark New Energy Technology company.

According to the  MTMIS website, the price of the BAIC D20 hatchback is PKR 18lac, however, we still have to see what official price Sazgar will quote in the markets.

#MeToo: Ali Zafar Must File a Response to Meesha’s Defamation Suit by Today!

On October 11th, Ali Zafar took to his Twitter account to announce that Meesha Shafi’s case had been dismissed at the court.

Calling Shafi an opportunist who made fake allegations, Ali claimed that a precedent had been set by him and his team through this case.

He had always maintained that, due to people like Shafi, genuine cases of the #MeToo movement suffer while the fake ones benefit wrongly from it.

Ali and his wife, Ayesha Fazli also mentioned in their respective tweets that soon they will put out the evidence publicly for everyone to see and learn from.

Many of the rock star’s fans and followers began celebrating the ‘victory’.

 

However, soon after, the other side of the story emerged. The side that nobody shed any light on earlier.

It turns out that Ali Zafar has not been declared guilty in the court. Instead, the court has dismissed the case on the matter of legal jurisdiction, which means the ombudsperson does not have the jurisdiction to hear the case.

Sadly, because it was filed as a case of harassment during work, the court simply said that workplace harrassment does not apply to Meesha and Ali’s case as they weren’t working as ’employees’ of the same company.

It simply sounds like there is no sexual harassment law in place to protect women who are self employed.

However, Meesha’s defamation suit on Ali is still there, unresolved, as Ali’s lawyer did not respond to it at the hearing.

Hence, October 17th (today) is the last day for Ali and his team to file a response to it.

Social Media is Curious About Bushra Bibi’s Absence During the Royal Couple’s Pakistan Tour

royal couple meet imran khan

The nation is abuzz with excitement and chatter ever since the royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Pakistan for their official visit.

From their clothes, to their schedule to their meetings and the rickshaw they arrived in to visit the Pakistan monument , every single thing is being discussed.

On October 15th, the royal couple visited the official residence of Imran Khan.

Photos and videos of them meeting and interacting with the Prime Minister were all over social media:

However, Pakistanis cannot help but notice that Bushra Bibi is nowhere to be seen in the photos.

Considering how significant her place is, social media seems a little disappointed in not being able to see her participation in international tours and other such affairs.

Some think she is being kept away due to the fear of being criticized for her veil, while others think it is by her own choice that she remains to be unseen in these events.

 

Amidst all this criticism, many Pakistanis have spoken in favor of her.

They are of the opinion that she should be entitled to her own choice, even if there is a religious reason behind it.

Moreover, some have also pointed out that if the public expects her to show up and participate because she is the First Lady, they are wrong.

She is not the First Lady, Dr. Arif Alvi’s wife is, as he is the President of Pakistan and he WAS present alongside his wife to meet and greet the royal couple.

What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments!

While meeting with the National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) informed the members that a total of 831,443 adult websites have been blocked in Pakistan.

With assistance from stakeholders and the general public, the authority was able to keep young internet users away from immoral activities, shared Chairman PTA Amir Azeem Bajwa.

He added that if the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) was hosted on an unsecured website or platform, it was blocked and if it was hosted on a secured platform, the concerned website was requested for content removal.

If the crime is committed on social media, then PTA refers the case to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for criminal proceedings.

To combat this menace, continuous and collective efforts are required as the millions of webpages are being uploaded on the internet on a daily basis,

IMC

Indus Motor Company (IMC) has announced that it will not layoff its employees despite the downfall in production or sales.

An IMC spokesperson shared that the entire country is experiencing an economic downfall and markets have remained volatile due to this.

They added this has been a great struggle for many. Rupee depreciation, reduction in car financing, increase in federal excise duties (FED) and higher input costs added to the struggles.

They further shared that despite this, the company has decided not to layoff employees.

The country is going through an economic slowdown and the overall market has remained volatile. This has indeed been a great struggle.

The factors largely contributing to this include rupee depreciation, reduction in car financing, increase in federal excise duties (FED) and higher input costs. Yet, we have decided not to go for layoffs despite the hard times. We are absorbing this financial crunch.

The IMC spokesperson added that the rupee has depreciated over 31.6%. On the other hand, the Pakistani government has imposed 7% additional conveyance duties, 3% additional sales tax on imports and 2.5%-7.5% FED on various engine capacity vehicles.

Thus, a major decline has been witnessed for the past few months in many sectors especially the automotive market.

Burger Advertisement Sparks Uproar on Social Media!

Once upon a time many years ago, advertisements were very different from the ones we see today. They objectified women, stereotyped men, and were just too much to digest.

Now that brands have realized they do not need all these elements anymore, they are bringing amazing ads touching on emotions and beautiful lessons.

However, there are still some who have not learned that there are some things that should never be done. One such brand is Bicky Burger, a Belgian hamburger brand.

The Belgium advertising regulator shared that they have received hundreds of complaints against the chain for marketing a man hitting a woman for serving him the wrong sandwich.

Even politicians along with the consumers have called out the brand for sick advertisement, claiming that the brand is irresponsible and is promoting domestic violence.

Goodlife Foods, the Dutch producer of Bicky Burger, apologized on Wednesday to all those who were offended by its advertising campaign.

We do not want to promote violence against women and strongly condemn it. We condemn any kind of violence.

This was not the angle of the post. Within the context of the brand, the target group, and the media channel, the goal is to say that selling or buying fake Bicky’s is not done. -Marketeer Tom Sevens to Het Nieuwsblad

In 2016, Bicky ran another campaign which also came into question when the company launched an advertisement with a nod to Alzheimer’s patients. “Being able to eat a Bicky every half hour without feeling guilty, there is at least one advantage,” the advertisement said.

Earlier, CBC had also placed fished shaped dustbins along the beach to raise awareness that the trash thrown into the sea and on the sands are killing the marine life.

Shaniera Akram had also called for help after Clifton Beach was found in a devastating state with syringes, broken glass, vials of blood and other medical waste dumped on to the popular spot.

We hope that this new effort from CBC and other responsible boards encourages positive behavior and continues to share awareness about the importance of keeping Karachi green and clean.

Pepsi Black rap battle

Young Stunners won the hearts of the youth with popular hits like Burger-e-Karachi, Laam se Chaura, Maila Majnu, and many more.

The boys earned name and fame in a very short span of time. However, when the rappers announced that they are parting ways, social media felt the tremors.

YouTuber, Irfan Junejo ( who also happens to be a fan of the rap band ) stepped in and told the boys to solve their problems with a battle – but of another type! He proposed a rap battle to settle things once and for all.

Pepsi Black took on the initiative to bring together the young influencers for the ultimate rap challenge in which Irfan Junejo collaborated with the Young Stunners for the first time on-screen.

The Young Stunners then take each other on face-to-face. Talha Anjum starts off by saying ‘Tu sure hai? Tu karna chahta hai battle rap! Kha jata rappers mein, need me a Pepsi Black, back to back yeh train unstoppable, rap ek phenomena and mein hun phenomenal’.

To this, Younus replies; ‘One in a billion koi mukabla nahin janta hai, bache yeh lafz nahi chanta hai, tera har ek banda mujhe janta hai, legend manta hai, tu bhalay karak logon ke liye, andar se dhancha hai’.

https://youtu.be/K78ip-VjGzA

The time your baby naps or goes to sleep can be a relaxing time for you and your little one, however, the process of getting your baby to sleep can be very tiring and stressful.

It takes a while for newborns to develop a sleep schedule, but once they do and get a little older, the sleep timing typically lengthens and becomes more predictable, making your life easy.

If you are a parent struggling to put a bawling baby to sleep, in the future, Mercedes-Benz’ MBUX voice assistant could be able to lull babies to sleep.

Have a look at this advertisement where a father, after failing to stop the baby from crying, brings him out, puts him in the car and voila! The baby is put to sleep within seconds and so is the distressed daddy.

YouTube’s AR Beauty Feature Lets Viewers Try on Lipstick by Tapping Ads

The 2020 model of Mercedes Benz GLE is shown in the video.

The “Baby Control” protocol can be activated by the driver giving a command, “Hey Mercedes, Activate Baby Control”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-XsTKSdWEA

“Newborns bring two things:

1) lot’s of joy
2) little sleep.”

The “Baby Protocol” shown in this video plays a lullaby, darkens windows, sets ambient lights and starts active body control which makes the car act as a rocking chair.

The feature is not available in Mercedes-Benz vehicles at this point in time, but all of the features are available individually, according to the official website.

If there is one thing Karachi could use more of, it is parks.

More parks mean more trees and more fun, which means a better climate and better ways to spend your leisure time.

So there’s good news for the fresh air and park lovers of Karachi:

The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation plans to start renovation work at the Ahmed Ali Park (popularly known as the Kidney Hill Park), after retrieving 20 acres of encroached land.

Which means, you will all soon have an all new recreational park to walk, play, and just breathe in in Bahadurabad near the Karachi Cooperative Housing Society.

Here’s what Bashir Siddiqui, KMC Anti-Encroachment Department Senior Director, told SAMAA Digital that the Supreme Court:

Around 20 acres of the park’s land was encroached by the Kokan Cooperative Housing Society. It claimed that the land belonged to the society. They moved the Sindh High Court on the matter,”

The KMC has demolished 17 bungalows constructed on the park’s premises. Three of them were under construction.

“If the Supreme Court did not intervene, the entire park would have been converted into a residential scheme,”

Over 3,000 saplings of different species will be planted at different parts of the park. The park will also have a jogging track and sewerage treatment plants.

Are you excited? Let us know in the comments!

A closer look at TECNO’s Camon 12 Air with punch-hole screen technology

By
Press Release
-

The revolutionary punch-hole screen technology is the design trend for 2019.

While this technology was first adopted by companies to integrate into their flagship phones, it slowly started making its way to budget phones.

One of the most noticeable budget phones to make use of this technology is the upcoming Camon 12 Air by TECNO.

So, the selfie camera of Camon 12 Air is the same in size as that of an opening, a hole punch makes in the sheet of paper.

This ends the need for a top bezel on the phone. This gives users a lot of extra screens to work on.

The phone will officially launch in Pakistan in the last week of October as per speculations. Here are some other rumors regarding the specs of the phone:

The phone has an LCD measuring 6.55-inches according to sources. Looking at leaked images shared on social media sites, it can be assumed that the phone will have premium looks.

Overall, the company has done a neat job of integrating this latest design feature in LCD panel which is a bit tricky as compared to doing the same on an OLED panel.

The phone features a powerful 4,000 mAh battery which helps you stay stress-free when it comes to charging issues. The users can easily go two days without having to charge their phones with this battery.

The phone features AI triple camera setup at its back with a primary sensor of 16 megapixels, a secondary sensor of 5-megapixels and a depth sensor of 2-megapixel for the Boke effect along with single-tone Quad-LED flash. The phone features an 8-megapixel selfie camera that is equipped with an AI beauty mode.

The phone is estimated to come with a price range of 20,000 PKR to 25,000 PKR. The upcoming phone is being termed as the best budget phone for photography lovers and fashion-conscious consumers. The phone will be available both online and offline soon after its launch.

United Bravo is Still NOT Available in Other Provinces 1 Year Later

United Auto Bravo

It has now been an entire year since the official launch of the United Auto Bravo.

The Auto Bravo was considered as the alternative for the Suzuki Mehran which was officially discontinued just a week before Bravo’s launch.

Thus, Bravo became one of the most anticipated cars in Pakistan to be manufactured. Offering more features in the same price range as the Mehran, the United Bravo became many consumers’ first choice.

However, the most important thing to mention here is that the Bravo has still not been made available in all of the other provinces exclusing Punjab.

Reportedly, the manufacturer initially had only one dealership Lahore, Islamabad and Multan and two in Faisalabad. Now, United has 10 dealerships– 3 in Lahore, 2 in Faisalabad and 1 each in Islamabad, Sargodha, Vehari, Multan and Jhelum according to their site.

Yet, the Bravo is nowhere to be seen in other provinces. On the other hand, another Chinese hatchback, Prince Pearl 800cc, is expected to launch in our market soon.

We have now to see whether or not Bravo will make it to the other provinces in time or will United Auto face major loss because of this marketing strategy. Only time will tell.

Getting into medical college is an extreme sport of its own. The hard work, the anxiety, plus the expectation paired with the fear of disappointing your parents/teachers/yourself.

The pressure of meeting parents’ expectations (which begin and end with them wanting their child to be a doctor, more often than not) can be so intense that a number of children are driven to the point of suicide.

According to a World Population Review report, for example, students in South Korea have higher-than-average suicide rates, at least in part because their families tend to put high levels of pressure on them to succeed academically. When they do not achieve the goals that their parents have set for them, they may feel that they have dishonored their families and commit suicide.

Anyway, back to Pakistan.

#MakeDoctorsNotPsychos is one of the top Twitter trends in Pakistan today.

Apparently, there has been a change in the medical admission policy by PMDC pakistan and Lahore High Court. AFTER the admission tests were conducted, and the number of seats has been 3,000 for years while the number of applicants continues to rise.

Due to this, even students with an aggregate score of 89-91% are unable to obtain a seat.

Plus, most universities have closed admissions while the UHS hasn’t even put up their merit list yet.

Social media is in protest of the new policy because, according to them, the new policy will only make the torture worse for medical college applicants.

However, some people think it is not so much the institutions’ fault as it is the fault of the parents who raise their children with the mentality that being a doctor is the only real career they can opt for.

Moreover, the lack of career counselling at schools also plays a huge tole in depriving children of the knowledge of various other career options.

As a result, everyone wants to/is forced to be a doctor.
