“Non-muslims In M’sia Should Be Grateful They’re Allowed To Live In This Country,” Says Abdul Hadi Awang

Social media platforms have become a powerful tool for individuals to express their opinions and thoughts. However, sometimes these posts can ignite controversy and evoke strong reactions. Recently, Abdul Hadi Awang, a prominent Malaysian politician, sparked a heated debate with a lengthy Facebook post that many Malaysians believe contains serious racial sentiments. In his post, Awang discussed the contributions of non-Muslims in Malaysia while highlighting the privileges given to them. He also mentioned the tragic 13th May Incident, which is a sensitive topic associated with racial tensions in the country.A Post Fueling Racial Divisions:Abdul Hadi Awang's Facebook post created ripples across the country, drawing both criticism and support. In his statement, Awang suggested that non-Muslims should appreciate the country's tolerance by acknowledging the opportunities provided to them. He went on to assert that Islam grants fair rights to non-Muslim residents who do not adhere to the Islamic faith as the state ideology. However, the phrasing and underlying implications of his remarks have led many to perceive them as containing racial overtones.In his post, he stated, "Therefore, non-Muslims should appreciate the contributions of this country that provides them a place. In fact, they should acknowledge the fact that most countries in the world do not provide a place for anyone who is not a native resident or does not adhere to their ideology. On the contrary, Islam grants fair rights to non-Muslim residents who do not embrace Islam as the state ideology."The Weight of Historical Tragedy:One of the most contentious aspects of Abdul Hadi Awang's post was his reference to the 13th May Incident. The incident, which occurred in 1969, resulted in a series of violent clashes between different ethnic groups in Malaysia. It remains a deeply painful memory for Malaysians and serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of racial tension. By alluding to this tragic event in his Facebook post, Awang inadvertently brought forth memories and emotions associated with that period.Calls for Unity and Sensitivity:In response to Abdul Hadi Awang's controversial post, many Malaysians expressed their concerns about the potential for such statements to fuel racial divisions and deepen societal rifts. They stressed the importance of promoting unity and understanding among different communities, rather than highlighting perceived differences or privileges. Acknowledging the country's multicultural fabric, they called for leaders to be more mindful of their language and to foster an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity.A Time for Constructive Dialogue:While controversy often fuels anger and animosity, it also presents an opportunity for open dialogue and understanding. Malaysians from diverse backgrounds have come together to discuss the implications of Abdul Hadi Awang's statements and the larger issue of racial harmony in the country. They emphasized the need for respectful conversations that address concerns and work towards building bridges between communities. Constructive dialogue can pave the way for greater empathy and unity, fostering a shared vision for a harmonious and inclusive society.Promoting a Harmonious Society:The controversy surrounding Abdul Hadi Awang's Facebook post serves as a reminder of the importance of sensitive and inclusive discourse in a multicultural nation like Malaysia. Instead of deepening divides, it is crucial for leaders and individuals alike to promote understanding, respect, and empathy. Conclusion:Abdul Hadi Awang's recent Facebook post, with its controversial statements and allusions to a tragic historical event, has sparked intense debates and raised concerns about racial sentiments in Malaysia. In these challenging times, it is essential for leaders and citizens to come together, engaging in constructive conversations that foster unity and understanding. By promoting empathy and celebrating diversity, Malaysia can strive towards a future where harmony prevails over division and shared aspirations transcend differences.

When Fashion Meets Gardening! Luxury Brand Loewe Grows Grass & Other Plants on Their Latest Menswear Collection

Wanna know what fashion trends are 'in' nowadays? Vegetation. Yes, you read it right, folks! Literal grass growing on your clothes. Crazy, right.Loewe, a Spanish luxury fashion brand, recently unveils their newest and eco-aware spring-summer collection of menswear at Paris Fashion Week. Let me tell you, this collection is next level.    British designer, Jonathan Anderson shared his climate inspired garments down on the runway. This had been the talk of the town for the entire week as those clothing had been blended fabric with a chia pet in a dystopian themed runway."Plants that have been grown on a series of garments and shoes are the result of an experimental process developed in collaboration with Paula Ulargui Escalona. The idea is that overtime the pieces merge with nature."For the pieces to be how they are as shown on the runway, Loewe took 20 days to reach the desired level of growth in a specially constructed polytunnel on the outskirts of Paris. Regular watering schedule and maintenance were required to ensure the garments were runway-ready.     @loewe Growing LOEWE SS23   original sound - LOEWE   The intention behind this was to spread awareness of how humanity exploits nature, illustrating how one day we'll only be able to see animals through the screen of our devices and plants are exploited for fashion.

  What do you guys think about this? I feel like if I wear these pieces, cows will be all over me, grazing the grass until there's nothing left.

This Group Of M'sian Doctors To Go On Mass Strike In April

There is a social media account called "Mogok Doktor Malaysia," which is mainly composed of contract doctors who have threatened mass resignations and staged a nationwide protest that would draw 8,000 medical professionals.Instead of staging a protest, the organisers have requested that the doctors go on strike by taking emergency or sick leave from April 3 to April 5.One of the group representatives spoke up to request that the job strike be conducted calmly because protests or walkouts can be harmful.It is already known that 8,000 of the anticipated 20,000 contract medical officers would participate in both events next month.The remaining MOs will take off between April 3 and April 5, while 3000 contract MOs will resign on April 1.This mass protest aims to solve the lack of specialists, MOs, and house officers, raise the minimum wage and the on-call rate, and hire all contract MOs into permanent posts free of any requirements or interviews.

Henna Art- A Versatile & Sophisticated Art | Origin | Process | Meanings

#The OriginHenna Art, also known as Mendhi, is said to be originated as far as from ancient Egypt. Every culture and religion has different ways of incorporating Henna art in their tradition exclusively.In Henna Art, the designs are drawn on a person’s body using a coloring agent derived from the leaves of Henna plant. The leaves are dried and turned into powdered form before it is mashed into a paste.#The Process of Applying Henna ArtThere are diverse ways of applying Henna Art, depending on the culture, religion, and technique of the artist. Some artists use a plastic cone, a paintbrush, or a stick as the drawing tool. After the drawing, the paste should be left on the skin for 4 to 6 hours. After that, the paste will dry up and crack. After the removal of the paste, a pale to the dark orange color pattern will reveal itself on the skin. Don’t worry, the patterns will darken through oxidation over time in a few days to a deep reddish-brown color and will last around 2 to 3 weeks based on the quality of the Henna paste.To extend the lifetime of the design, try to moisturize the skin with olive oils and coconut oils. Avoid exfoliating scrubs to the area as it will remove the dead skin causing the stain to fade.

Syed Saddiq Addresses Lack Of Walkability In Malaysia And Proposes 3 Ways To Improve It

It's starting to look like Malaysian cities hate pedestrians. We are building our cities only for the enjoyment of people who can afford to drive to where they need to go.According to Syed Saddiq, there are 3 ways we can promote the use of public transportation improve urban planning, encourage employees to work from home and resolve the last-mile connectivity problem."In Malaysia, we already have the problem of spending hours on the road. But pedestrian walkways and public transport are not user friendly," he said in a TikTok video. To kick start this effort, Syed Saddiq said urban planning needs to be improved to prioritise pedestrians.Taking inspiration from other countries such as Barcelona and Singapore, he suggested the usage of super blocks to ease traffic in residential neighbourhoods.Besides that, he also cited Singapore's MRT stations that have specific designated pedestrian walkways.Next, he suggested that employers start to encourage their employees to work from home.This, he said, is because the hours Malaysians spend commuting on the road equals to a loss in productivity.Finally, he urged the government to resolve the last-mile connectivity problem by incentivising scooter and bike usage.Do you agree?

8-Year-Old Boy In Martial Arts Class Was Beaten And Left For Dead By Trainer

In a heart-wrenching incident that has left the community in disbelief, an 8-year-old boy enrolled in a martial arts club met a horrifying fate just two days into his training. Instead of learning self-defence techniques, the innocent child was allegedly subjected to a brutal assault by his own trainer, ultimately leading to his untimely demise.It all started when the boy's parents eagerly signed him up for a year-long program at the Chongde Juying Martial Arts Sports Club in Qingdao, Shandong. Little did they know that this decision would have devastating consequences. On the second day of his enrollment, their hopes and dreams for their child's growth and protection were shattered in the cruellest manner imaginable.Disturbing footage has surfaced online, capturing the boy's last moments of life. In the video, a man can be seen desperately trying to support the fainting child on a chair within a classroom setting. However, as soon as the man withdraws his support, the boy collapses to the floor, motionless. Shockingly, a woman's voice can be heard callously threatening the child, warning him that his mother will abandon him for an entire year if he continues to struggle. The boy, in evident pain, alleges that he was kicked by one of the coaches, prompting the woman to interrogate other children donning the club's signature orange T-shirts.Heartbroken and desperate for answers, the boy's father, identified as Zhai, shared the harrowing details of their ordeal. According to Zhai, the club's owner had sent a video of their son at approximately 11 am on June 18. Concerned by their child's pale appearance, the mother urgently requested the owner to monitor his condition. Tragically, at around 1:50 pm, the family received the devastating news that their beloved child's life was slipping away. Shortly thereafter, confirmation of his passing shattered their world. The grieving mother laments the coaches' negligence in promptly seeking medical treatment for her son's injuries. The boy displayed bruises throughout his body, with his legs suffering particularly severe damage.Upon arrival at the hospital, the young boy was declared dead, as medical records unveiled that his heart had ceased beating approximately 20 minutes prior. The Chenyang branch of Qingdao's Public Security Bureau wasted no time in taking action. On June 18, around 2 pm, three individuals linked to the club, including the couple in charge and one coach, were apprehended. They now face serious charges of intentional harm resulting in the tragic loss of a precious life. The investigation is ongoing, and the club's operations have been immediately halted.This horrific incident has shed light on the lack of prompt action and responsibility demonstrated by the club's coaches, leaving the grieving family and community seeking justice. It is important to note that the martial arts club, registered just over two months ago in April, claimed to nurture and train martial arts talents while aiming to expand competitions and performances.

8 Things You Should Know About Thaipusam

Living in a country gifted with people of more than one race, religion and custom, it can take a tad bit of effort to understand each other’s practices and beliefs. From the Chinese celebrating Cap Go Meh, to Gawai day by Sarawakians and Vaisakhi for Punjabis, we can all admit, Malaysia has a long list of celebrations, most of us hardly know about.
  That being said, what better time would there be, to learn about one the Hindus of our country put crucial importance upon, than on the actual day itself this year: Thaipusam. Our basic (or even stereotypical to a certain extent) knowledge surrounding Thaipusam is that, it is a celebration where Hindus all over the country go processioning at Batu Caves, with sharp stuff stuck in various parts of their bodies. Despite the fraction of truth that perception holds, there is but of course, so much more than meets the eye.
  For one, did you know that Thaipusam devotees wear a certain color during Thaipusam every year? They wear yellow or orange on this very day, as a means to signify the Lord Murugan.
  Number 2, the ‘kaavadi’ that these devotees carry during their processions, are often decorated with peacock feathers, because followers of the Hindu religion believe that the peacock, was Lord Murugan’s vehicle back in the day. What is a ‘kaavadi’ you may ask? Well third, a ‘kaavadi’ is an ornate, intricate structure (weighing up to 40kgs), which devotees carry on themselves throughout the procession, as a sacrificial offering to Lord Murugan. It is done so that their deepest desires and wishes come to fruition. As a matter of fact, the word in itself actually translates to, ‘a sacrifice with every step’.
  Next, devotees actually spend 48 days preparing for the celebration, and fasting with no food whatsoever, 24 hours prior to it. If it hasn’t already been made obvious by now, number 5, Thaipusam is a festival to honour the Lord Murugan. He is the son to Lord Shiva, and is also known as the God of war, symbolizing bravery, virtue, youth and power.
  Sixth, the festival of Thaipusam is celebrated by Tamil Hindus, in not only Malaysia, but also India, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and parts of the Caribbean including Jamaica, Trinidad, Tobago and Mauritius. On top of that, Thaipusam at the Batu Caves (Malaysia), is one of the biggest celebrations of its kind, in the world. It attracts over a million devotees and tens of thousands of tourists, every year.
  Even the name of the celebration holds meaning. Number 8, Thaipusam comes from the two separate terms of ‘Thai’ (the 10th month in the Tamil Calendar) and ‘Poosam’, the name of a star in the Cancer constellation. Given that these facts are merely scratching the surface when it comes to entirely comprehending and appreciating Thaipusam, they are the basic building blocks to understanding what this celebration is all about.
  We live in a country rich in so much culture, and besides adding to our knowledge, learning is a responsibility we should put to practice. With it, we would not only learn how to understand what makes us different, but also find an attempt to celebrate those differences, collectively.

People Are Loving This Japanese Cricket Udon Claimed To Be Nutritious. Will You Try It?

Eating insects has become a thing now in the Western countries. More and more international organizations are encouraging the practice of eating ‘insect meal’ due to their high energy and protein content as well as low production cost. Some companies are even introducing this uncommon food into people's diet by serving it with other dishes in order to break the prejudice of insect consumption. In Japan, a food company, Bugsfarm, has introduced ‘Cricket Udon’ specially crafted for the Japanese people and claimed that the food is very nutritious. Each bowl of udon contains about 100 crickets in both powder and the entire bug form. This unusual combination has, however, attracted the public to give the food a try. Unbelievably, feedback from many of the consumers are positive. A netizen commented that, ‘The amount of protein is probably double than that of an ordinary udon’.‘I love udon, the one topped with crickets is just like other salty udon’, said a netizen.Another buyer of the product mentioned that, ‘There is an earthy flavor that I think is delicious’. ‘I bought it just to find out what an insect tastes like, to my surprise, it is really good’, The United Nations is also supportive in the practice of eating insects. Aside from its tastiness and nutritional fact, it is more environmental-friendly and needs a lower cost for massive cultivation. But most importantly, eating insects ensures food security for the future.


14 Types Of Workouts For 14 Days Of MCO 2.0

Another MCO, another chance at giving this fitness lifestyle a go. Shall we? 1. Pamela Reif Workout Plans Thank god for fitness youtubers! One in particular Pamela Reif, is a popular German fitness influencer who provides weekly workout plans ranging from beginner to sweaty, and did we mention it comes with no charges at all? A gem is what she is. All her workout plans are neatly kept in her Instagram highlights which you can screenshot and utilise at the comfort of your own home. All her workout videos are available on her youtube channel. Convenient!If you're not particularly keen on doing regular workouts, fret not for Pamela also happens to be quite the expert on composing dance workouts that even the most couchiest of potatoes would enjoy. Here are some examples of her plans to get you started: • The Beginner Friendly Version
 • The Sweat Version
2. Yoga It UpYoga is a disciplinary physical and spiritual practice originated from ancient India that continues to prove its benefits to those who exercise it. Contrary to what a non-practiser might believe, yoga is actually essentially easy that one can begin to do at home! All you need is a yoga mat and a serene state of mind and you are ready to go. Here's one we picked out for you: 3. Indoor Cardio To those of you who detest staying idle at home, cardio workout is the perfect exercise to match your energy. Cardio exercises typically burn fat the most (and the fastest) compared to other kinds, which makes it perfectly appropriate for those who have only a little time to squeeze in a mini active session while still burning heaps of calories. So much so that even a ten minute cardio is enough. Below are a few examples of a cardio circuit one can easily do at home. 4. HIIT Although MCO has imposed restriction on outdoor activities, there are workouts which you can still do indoor. Take a look at this tiktok video, for example. Since running is out of the question, you can opt for a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout that typically requires less space as opposed to if you were to go out on a sprint. Thanks to the existence of TikTok, there are plenty of suggestions you can find. For instance, check this one out:   5. Tabata Tabata essentially falls under the HIIT category, but it is more suitable for those who crave a more structured routine that allows very little breaks in between. If it sounds hardcore, that's because it is. If you have been making a mental note to lose some of the previous quarantine weight, Tabata might be the best workout routine for you. To make it less of a torture, we found a tabata workout that's worth the sweat.6. ZumbaYou might not be able to achieve the same high as attending an actual zumba class when it comes to doing it online, but beggars can't be choosers. During these unprecedented times, Youtube creators are the true saviors for providing us with good quality, free fitness content. Yes, even a free zumba class is available for your browsing. We found a 50 minute online zumba class that might tickle your interest but shorter ones are available too. 7. StretchingWe have not forgotten about you lazy potatoes. If all the aforementioned workouts sound a bit too much of a commitment for you, might we suggest a bit of stretching? If performed often, stretching will allow more flexibility in your muscles which in turn will decrease the stiffness in your muscles (from lack of moving) in the long run as well as a noticeable improvement in your posture. Plus, it can also decrease stress. Perfect for those who are currently working from home and because we understand you well, here is a stretching routine for beginner that's easy for you to follow. 8. PilatesInvented in the 1920s, Pilates is a great workout for those who do not particularly enjoy moving too much during their routine. Similar to yoga, the exercise is very calming to the mind and might help you wind down after a long, stressful day. It promotes muscle flexibility as well as tension relief. Sounds inviting? Check out this video and maybe try one for yourself. 9. Tik Tok Dance By MadFitSince the first quarantine, many have been flocking to Tik Tok, a video-sharing platform to pass their time. It is the birth place of many popular dance challenges like the Renegade, Savage Challenge, Say So and a lot more. Why not turn those trending dance videos into a workout routine? It's twice the fun, we assure you. Check out this video by Youtube fitness content creator MadFit in which she orchestrated Tik Tok inspired workout routine. 10. Lazy Girl (or Boy) Workout By Vicky JustizIf even the stretching routine is too much for you lazy heads, perhaps this one might do the trick. This routine created by Vicky Justiz requires only 7 minutes of your day. Sounds manageable, is it not? 11. BLACKPINK Song Workout By Emi WongKpop stans, this one's for you. This workout by Emi Wong is sure to make you sweat while also making you feel like a fifth member of BLACKPINK. It's the easiest and most probably the most sassy 3 minute workout you can do at home. 12. No Equipment Workout By Natacha OcéaneOne of the downsides of working out at home is the accidental noise pollution. Some might already own gym equipment at home but have yet to use them in fear of bothering the neighbors. Luckily, there are plenty of exercises that require no equipment and thus, no noise. Take this one by Natacha Océane for instance. This 20 minute exercise routine is completely noise-free and safe to be performed quietly anywhere. 13. Full Body Workout By Angela KajoFull body exercises is especially splendid for those wishing to see smaller numbers on their weighing scale. It targets the whole body instead of a specific muscle area. What's great about this routine by Angela Kajo is that there's no voice-overs so you can really focus on the routine itself without getting distracted. 14. Meditation ExerciseMany does not view meditation as an exercise, but it is crucial to add into your routine especially if you are dealing with anxiety. It may not seem as physically demanding as the other exercise we have listed, but it is a beneficial one for our mental health. You could meditate at any times of the day; in the beginning or even at the end, right before you sleep. This particular meditation exercise by Adrienne is targeted to those suffering from anxiety and if we're being honest, MCO has been quite the trigger. So, why not try this one and feel the improvement?

Say No To Skin Irritation | 3 Skincare Tips For People With Sensitive Skin

The secretion of oil on the face will increase when the weather is hot. The imbalance of water and oil will make the skin condition worse, leading to acne, dark spots, and allergies. In addition to weather factors, dampness can also cause bacteria to grow on quilts and bedding, making skin sensitive. Skin sensitivity is generally temporary which usually disappears after a period of time. However, if it is not handled properly, it may develop into chronic skin sensitivity or chronic eczema. The following 3 tips for girls with sensitive skin!  1. Avoid Washing Your Face With Hot Water And Over-CleaningThe main ingredient of cleansing products are surfactants which will aggravate allergies. Over-cleaning will stimulate the secretion of oil on the face. Besides, you should also make sure the water temperature is not too hot because hot water will irritate allergic skin. Remember not to rub your facial skin too much. Friction will make your allergies more serious.  2. Use Mild Moisturizing Skincare Products And Avoid Using Irritating ProductsWhen your skin is in a sensitive condition, be careful when using skincare products! Choose skin-friendly and hypoallergenic skincare products, such as products that contain mild moisturizing ingredients: hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, glycerin. Avoid the use of alcohol and fragrance ingredients. Besides, remember to avoid irritating products such as face scrub and fruit acids when the skin is sensitive. Scrub and fruit acid will destroy the sebum membrane, thereby weakening the protective barrier of the skin and worsening skin allergy.   3. Perform Sun ProtectionMany people ignore the importance of sun protection. When the skin is in a sensitive state, the skin will be more susceptible to ultraviolet rays. If sun protection is not done properly, it will further damage the stratum corneum and easily cause sunburn or redness. Therefore, sun protection is important to help the skin set up a protective barrier. It is advisable to use sunscreen with a hypoallergenic formula to reduce irritation.  If you want your skin to stay white and smooth, do remember to take care of your sensitive skin diligently with the above 3 tips,

Iranians Are Fearless of COVID-19 | Worship By Licking Mosque Doors

The outbreak of COVID-19 has continued to spread, and the number of confirmed cases has increased sharply, especially in Iran. As of March 22, the CoronaTracker showed that there are 20,610 confirmed cases and 1,556 deaths. Mohammad Mirmohammadi, a 71-year-old local adviser, was the first local official who died of COVID-19.Currently, the holy shrines of Imam Reza in Mashhad, Fatima Masumeh in Qom and Shah Abdol-Azim in Tehran were shut until further notice. Besides, arrangements also have been made for suspension of classes and closing of gyms. The public also has been urged to avoid going to public places. However, Iran is criticized by other countries for its poor control over the pandemic because Iran only closes key religious sites when the death toll hits 853. Besides, the Iran public's awareness of pandemic prevention was insufficient as they still ignored the appeals of the health department and continued to worship by touching, kissing, as well as even licking the mosque's gate.Local journalist Masih Alinejed reposted a short video on Twitter. It can be seen from the video that a large number of believers still worship at The Shrine of Hazrat Masumeh in Qom, and some of them lick the gates inside the temple. In the film, a man said "don't worry", and licked the door more times to show no fear of the pandemic. Another believer told people not to be scared by COVID-19 and urging everyone to worship in the mosque. Another child was praised for kissing and licking the decoration in the mosque. It is said that the actual situation in Iran may be worse. Some Canadian epidemiologists use mathematical models to estimate that Iran has infected 18,000 people. However, currently, the number of confirmed cases in Iran has exceeded 18,000. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has released a list of explanations to solve the doubt of the public. For more information, click part 1 and part 2.

Beware.~How do I help a depressed friend?~Remember, 1 Don't judge. 2 Don't do it alone.All they need is someone who would listen and feel them. Let them open their heart to you, that is the first step to helping them recover.
