Lionel Messi stars as Barcelona beat Man City to reach the last eight

Champions League Last-16, second leg, Nou Camp - Barcelona 1 (Rakitic 31) Manchester City 0 (Barcelona win 3-1 on aggregate)

Lionel Messi gave a cameo of his genius as Barcelona beat Manchester City 1-0 at the Nou Camp to cruise into the last eight of the Champions League courtesy of a 3-1 success on aggregate. 

The Argentine was the Citizens' tormentor-in-chief with a bewitching display of quick feet and sublime vision, leading to one moment of magic that freed Ivan Rakitic to lob home the only goal of the night just past the half hour. The Barca talisman had the watching world gasping in awe as a flurry of cheeky nutmegs prior to half time left the away side chasing his shadow. 

On another occasion the Catalans would have had a bagful but Neymar and Luis Suarez both hit the post while Joe Hart performed heroics in the City goal with a series of magnificent one-on-one stops, in what must go down as one of his most outstanding individual displays between the sticks. 

City did have a chance to make it interesting late on but Sergio Aguero saw his effort from the penalty spot saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the visitors could not stop the Spanish giants from securing an eighth straight quarter-final appearance in the competition.

Mas kahwin juga kena GST?

Gambar Hiasan

SHAH ALAM - Lebih kurang dua minggu lagi pelaksanaan Cukai Barangan dan Perkhidmatan (GST) akan dilaksanakan di negara ini, cakap-cakap mengenainya menjadi bualan kerana ramai yang tidak pasti mengenai pelaksanaannya.

Ada yang kata menguntungkan dan ada yang kata sebaliknya.

Kegusaran itu menyebabkan ramai yang tidak ‘duduk diam’, tambah-tambah bila disentuh mengenai pelaksanaan GST dalam bab perkahwinan.

Bagi yang bujang sudah semestinya ‘mulai pening’ kepala kerana mula fikirkan mengenai bajet perkahwinan selepas GST dilaksanakan.

Namun ada berita gembira buat mereka yang hendak berkahwin selepas GST dilaksanakan ini kerana GST tidak dikenakan terhadap bayaran mas kahwin.

Penolong Pengarah Unit Komunikasi Korporat Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor, Nurhamizah Othman berkata, harga Mas Kahwin kekal sepertimana yang termaktub dalam Undang-undang keluarga Islam di bawah kuasa Sultan.

“Di Selangor kita sudah putuskan pada 12 Mei 2009, iaitu sebanyak RM300 kadar mas kahwin bagi anak dara dan janda tanpa had maksimun.

“Ia kekal, GST tidak dikenakan,” katanya. Katanya lagi, anak muda yang hendak berkahwin tidak perlu gusar mengenai perkara tersebut.

"Tiada kenaikan, ia kekal sepertimana yang termaktub," katanya. GST akan dilaksanakan pada 1 April 2015 ini, sebanyak 160 buah negara telah melaksanakannya.
