Cover image via imgur.comA few days ago, Microsoft launched a new tool called How-Old.net. It guesses a person's age based on a photo of their face. Like this:
That's me, while I'm not Malaysian and neither famous, I'm also NOT 41! **I'm 28.**
While its accuracy is comically spotty, it quickly became a viral hit.
So we decided to use the app to guess the age of some of Malaysia's public figures, from politicians to celebrities to anyone who is famous. For context, we'll put their real age alongside!
First off, our PM is actually 61 years old, while Rosmah is 63

Yes, Rosmah is 30! On our second attempt, Rosmah is STILL in her 30's!

While Anwar may be plagued with a slew of challenges as of late, the app thinks he looks nine years younger. His actual age is 67!

This came as a shocker. Our Youth and Sports Minister isn't even 40 yet 🙁

Hannah Yeoh, Malaysia's first woman speaker for Selangor State Assembly, is actually much older than what the app guessed. She's 36. But we're sure she would love to be 19 again 😉

Her actual age is 31.
