For a model today, social media is like a double-edged sword. On one hand, it has become an essential tool to survive in the industry. On the other hand, it s an exhausting balancing act.
“Personally, I think having a social media presence is really important in this day and age,” states Nia. “I know many people are still sceptical about the merit of ‘influencers’ or ‘Instagram models’, but in order to be noticed and recognised by people whether they are clients, brands or even your audience you need to have traction on social media.”
But gaining that traction isn t as easy as it looks, as the girls describe it to be a full-time job as trends, apps, algorithms as well as its users don t wait for anyone.

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court ruled in favour of house buyers concerning the calculation of liquidated ascertained damages (LAD) to be paid by housing developers in late delivery of vacant possession of their units.
A five-member bench led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, in a unanimous decision on Tuesday, ruled that the LAD payable by housing developers to purchasers for the late delivery of vacant possession of units in a housing project must begin from the date of payment of booking fees and not from the date of the sale and purchase agreement.
Justice Tengku Maimun said the court would not countenance the bypassing of statutory safeguards meant to protect the purchasers.
