TODDLER Amaar Muhriz Khairul Aizat has become a social media sensation for his love for onions and his delightful personality, reported Sinar Harian.
Amaar’s mother, Rabiatul Aini Abdullah Sani, 29, said her two-year-old son frequently asks for onions to go with his meals.
“Since Amaar was six months old, I’ve been sharing videos of him eating onions. I upload new videos almost daily.
“If there’s no onion dish, Amaar is still fine and eats as usual. The onion is not a must-have, but he loves it,” she added.
A video of Amaar munching on onions went viral on TikTok, racking up over three million views and 30,000 shares. The comment section overflowed with praise for the articulate toddler who never misses a chance to compliment his mother’s cooking.
Rabiatul Aini said that while most of the readers’ feedback has been positive, some critics have also chimed in.
To keep things positive, she chooses to delete overly critical comments that could spark online arguments.
“I think it’s good to showcase positive things on social media. It can indirectly serve as a reference and example for other parents.
“Whatever the activity, the important thing is that it benefits everyone and makes the child happy. As parents, we should celebrate each child’s unique interests and encourage them,” she added.
> Influencer and entrepreneur Khairul Aming said his face and voice are being manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) to commit fraud, reported Berita Harian.
In a video posted on his official social media accounts, Khairul Aming said such scams were becoming more widespread.
“Please report any scammers misusing people’s faces and voices to deceive others,” he said, adding that scammers have used his AI-generated likeness in advertisements for cookware.
“The voice you heard and the face you saw in that promotional video were not mine.
“That’s AI being misused to deceive the public. My face has been misused for various things, and it’s now out of my control,” he said.
He said AI is being used in many ways to deceive.
“So be careful and don’t be easily fooled,” he advised.
