OKU Woman's Car Gets Blocked By RapidKL Bus At LRT Station, Sparks Outrage On Social Media

In a surprising turn of events, a former GE15 PH candidate found herself at the centre of a 20-minute drama during what should have been a quick drop-off. As she shared her experience on social media, it shed light on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and raised questions about the rights that should be upheld.I had the worst shock today that despite parking at a designated OKU parking at the University LRT station in order to be able to drop off a friend there, my car was obstructed by a Rapid KL bus @askrapidkl pic.twitter.com/vEFLvnhvCW— Dr Noraishah Mydin Abd Aziz (@AbdMydin) July 3, 2023 Dr Noraishah Mydin Abd Aziz had set out to drop off a friend at the University LRT station. Being mindful of the difficulties she encounters due to her disability, she parked in the designated OKU parking spot. As she attempted to leave the parking spot, she was met with an unexpected block an inconsiderate RapidKL bus had parked in a manner that obstructed her exit. I had to get out of my car @anthonyloke @NgaKorMing and get on my wheelchair and go and find the bus driver and beg him to move his bus when i had rightfully parked at the designated space for OKU drivers pic.twitter.com/HXAhAmGwa6— Dr Noraishah Mydin Abd Aziz (@AbdMydin) July 3, 2023 What should have been a matter of seconds became a 20-minute drama, leaving her boxed in and unable to proceed with her day. Faced with no other option, she had to get out of her car and into her wheelchair to locate the bus driver despite having rightfully parked in the designated space for OKU drivers.@CareerPrasarana Prasarana , you need to take action against your drivers for behaving like bullies.

Scariest Ingredients Found In Day To Day Beauty Products That Will Probably Leave You Paranoid

Not all beauty products are meant to enhance our beauty. Some can even damage it or fade it completely. This is where consumer awareness plays a crucial part in ensuring you won‘t fall victim to another false marketing.
Want to know which beauty products don't belong on your face? Or anywhere near you for that matter? Read on. 1. Expired Mascara
Some people like to hoard their mascaras, and that's fine. Just remember to toss them out once they're past their expiration date. Mascaras that have been used too long tend to breed bacteria or microbes and in the worst of cases, can make a person go blind. So yes if you ask me; expired mascara is definitely one of the scariest beauty products to exist. After three months, mascaras should belong in the bin. 2. Formaldehyde in Hair Straighteners
Some hair straightener brands, when investigated, have been found guilty of using Formaldehyde, a type of carcinogen, in their products. If you're in Malaysia though, take a breath of relief as most of the brands tested aren't even sold here. But it pays to be careful. If you're curious about the brands, read about them here. 3. Lead in Lipstick
  You'd be surprised at how many brands have been secretly putting lead in their lipsticks. If you google, "brands that use lead in their lipsticks" you'll find plenty. As consumers, you owe it to yourself to do even the slightest research on your favorite brands and if they actually have your best interests at heart. 4. Mercury In Skin-Whitening Creams
  The infamous skin-lightening products you can find all over Malaysia with the painfully cringy repackaged branding and neon-colored creams. It is definitely one of the scariest beauty products to ever exist knowing what kind of damage it'd do to your skin. Love the skin you're born in. The marketing of skin-lightening products only feeds into the toxic notion that lighter skin is superior, which it isn't. It's not enough to be a pack of sheep following whatever's next in trend. A part of being a smart consumer is knowing exactly what you're paying for. Beauty doesn't have to be pain, ladies.

  # SagittariusSince most Sagittarius moms live adventurous lives and they treasure every single moment of it, the best gift to give them is a photo frame with photos of her living her best life! Go through your phone and get some nice photos of your family together and some of her doing stuff she loves and make it into a while collage.
  # CapricornCapricorn mums love looking elegant and luxurious but also like things that are functional and not only for the purpose of looking good. So get them a nice expensive handbag that has enough space and compartments for all their stuff and they will know you put a lot of thought into their gift.
  # AquariusAquarius moms are the cool mums, they won't be wanting something ordinary so you're going to have to think out of the box for this one!

Plant Decor Direction for Your Living Room! Use the Environmentally Friendly Method to Beautify Your Living Room!

Living room is where we meet the visitors. And the decor of the living room represents the taste and lifestyle of the owner. Therefore, a well designed plant decor has shown to the other that we are the person full of passion toward our daily life. Besides that, the living room is also a space for us to relax and for family members to enjoy the bonding times! We spent such long hours in the living room. So, we should spend a little bit of time beautifying the living room to brighten up the spaces! And the easiest way to beautify the living room is to insert some greenery to your living room. However, there are some rules that need to be taken note, If we want to bring indoor plants into the living room.Direction of the windowIf your house is facing north or south and your windows facing east or west that's the perfect position for placing indoor plants. That means your indoor plant could be exposed to the natural sunlight for several hours during the morning or in the late afternoon. Therefore, a wide range of indoor plants could be chosen as plants decor in the living room without worry about the sunlight receiving problems. On the contrary, if your living room cannot receive any of the natural sunlight, we could only choose full shade plants. And we have to move the indoor plants for exposure to natural sunlight occasionally to keep it growing lively. To avoid the hassle of moving in and out of the plants, we should reduce the number of indoor plants in the living place for the convenience of maintaining the indoor plants.
  Light Intensity of the living roomBesides the direction of the window, the other factors that may affect the sunlight exposure to the living room too. Therefore, check the light intensity first before we decide what kind of plants could be placed in the desirable place for placing indoor plants. For example, if your living room is full of windows and full of natural indirect sunlight. You may choose semi-shaded indoor plants like asparagus fern species, Ficus species, Syngonium species, Tradescantia species, Pilei species, Dieffenbachia species.However, if the living room lacks windows and natural sunlight exposure, then full shade plants are more suitable to be placed. The examples of indoor plants which could adapt to extreme low sunlight are sansevieria, zz plant, pothos, epipremnum, callisia species, spathiphyllum, Aglaonema, Monstera, ferns species, peperomia species etc.

  Decide the Types of Plant Fit your Decor styleMinimalist? industrial? contemporary styles? Different decor styles may need to be decorated by different types of indoor plants. If your home belongs to the minimalist styles, choose one piece only of indoor plants and make it as a focal point. If your living room is prone to rustic styles, keep the indoor plants growing as its original shade without changing its natural pattern. For example, if you place ficus benjamina in your living room, do not try to prune its crown like a topiary. Let it grow naturally and prune its brown leaves only. If your living room is designed in a contemporary style, you may make the indoor plant arrangement in groups and the design principle of repetition could be adopted.

  Decide the materials of your potsIn general white and black colour pots in any materials could suit most of the contemporary decor style. And that is a more safe way to avoid mistakes in different design styles. However, if you want your indoor plants decor more fit to your home decor style you may change the pots and planter to different materials. If your decor style is industrial style, you may change your pot to metal bucket to make the plant's decor more compatible to the overall home style. If your design is prone to rustic styles, terracotta pots may be used to show the original form of the materials!

  Besides the bedroom for resting, the living room is where we stay the longest hours in the house. Therefore, creating an interesting living room could improve our living quality and make our life less tedious! Take your action now to make a difference!

"M'sian Girls Are So Lucky!" Foreigner Receives Flowers From A Stranger In KL And Gets Told This Is The Norm For Women In Malaysia

A woman from Romania who has recently moved to Kuala Lumpur about a week ago has shared a sweet encounter she had with a Malaysian on her TikTok. In that video, she narrated how she was randomly given a bouquet of red roses by a Malaysian stranger promptly after approaching her whilst on the street. She was then told by the stranger that this occurrence is quite the norm and that Malaysian girls often receive flowers at least once a week.This little incident got her to conclude that Malaysian girls must be so lucky to be given the princess treatment regularly, even from strangers.Meanwhile in the comments, many people were rather puzzled as they've never heard of such a thing before. One user commented, "I was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur yet have never received one." The other person said, "Are we living in the same Malaysia?". Others have pointed out that this is simply just another case of pretty privilege on display.Clearly, this doesn't happen often. Or perhaps, there's a new culture going around that not many Malaysians are aware of yet? Watch the full TikTok video below:What do you think? Leave a comment below!

Your Guide To Never Being Stuck In A Dry Texting Convo Again

ICYMI: 30 Conversation Starters For Texting That'll Make Your Flirty Banter Way More ProductiveTexting a new crush is a lot like playing ping-pong. You say something, they say something, you say something again, they something again, and then you eventually make plans to get jalapeño margs and make out a lot.But none of the above can happen if the conversation never gets off the ground.You see, if you've been trying to gauge your new flame's interest and they're not giving you much to work with – maybe they're sending you one-word responses; maybe they're taking hours upon hours to respond – you may be dealing with a dry texter.Dry texting is what happens when someone sends you short replies that don't move the conversation forward. It usually consists of one-word answers like the dreaded 'K,' says dating coach Alexis Germany. And when you're just getting to know someone, it can be hard to tell if someone is not into you or just not into texting.While you could throw your screenshots in the group chat and let all your friends decipher their texts, you have more important things to do and don't want to invest even more time and energy into a conversation that might be going nowhere.So if you think your texts are fizzling out or you want to see where your crush it at, here's everything you need to know about dry texting – including how to spot it, how to stop it, and how to know when it times to take the L.What Is Dry Texting?Dry texting is what happens when someone gives you short, non-engaging replies in a texting conversation. It can also be super repetitive and just plain boring, says Claudia Cox, a relationship coach and founder of Text Weapon. "A great example of dry texting is the person who always starts a conversation with 'Hey' followed by 'What's up?' and that's about as exciting as it gets," says Cox.For obvious reasons, this type of messaging can be exhausting because when your crush isn't adding anything to the conversation, you may feel pressure to keep the back and forth going. (Especially if they're super hot and you want to kiss their face.)But don't worry just yet: Cox notes that in every connection, from a new crush to a full-on partner, some dry texting is expected."Even the hottest, most passionate couples will go through periods when the conversation lulls," Cox says. "One partner could be tired, stressed out, feeling sick or just burning the candle at both ends."Pricilla Martinez, CEO of Regroop Coaching, agrees that a conversation lull doesn't mean game over. "For some, texting is just a tool to make plans to meet up," Martinez says. "Don't assume the conversation is drying up because they're not interested."Keep in mind that dry texting is typically a consistent pattern of one-word answers or fizzling conversations. So someone hitting you with a "Hey" or "K" every once in a while doesn't mean the convo is dried up.What Are Some Examples of Dry Texting?As the experts say, it's hard to spot dry texting from a single message. While someone "thumbs up" responding to your last or just sending a "haha" may make you want to throw your phone off a cliff, dry texting means a series of fruitless conversations. Here's what the experts say to look out for:1. Repeatedly sending one-word answers.2. Keeping conversation short and not asking more questions or engaging you in conversation.3. Ignoring or glossing over photos, links, or memes that you send.4. Never texting you first and/or never starting conversations.5. Leaving you on read for days at a time.Signs Your Texting Is Turning DryHere's a dose of reality: Sometimes good, promising conversations will dry up, says Cox. It's kind of inevitable. Whether your crush isn't over their ex or if they started texting some new Tinder person, they may dry up your conversation rather than tell you directly they're not feeling it."If they were always super-quick to respond with fun, upbeat messages and then suddenly you find yourself hanging on read for days, they might be trying to slowly step away from the conversation and you," says Cox.Here are some of those warning signs:1. They take longer to get back to you.2. They send random, low-effort messages that aren't leading to a date.3. They send shorter, less enthusiastic texts.4. They avoid invitations to meet up or FaceTime, make excuses and cancel plans last minute, or pretend to be completely unaware that you're asking to hang out IRL.How to Prevent Dry TextingThe first step in stopping dry texting is figuring out for what reason the convo is going dry. Your crush may not be a huge texter or they may be super busy at work. If you're really interested in them, check in with them about the texting lull.You'll also want to get to know the persons communication style, says Martinez. "Don't be afraid to ask if they prefer talking on the phone, FaceTiming, or just meeting up."Especially because texting someone you don't know that well is hard. You can't tell their tone, you can't read their body language, and you can't be sure they knew you were joking when you sent the Paris Hilton "Stop Being Poor" meme. Asking to hop on the phone or meet in person may give you a better sense of your crush's communication style.It's also possible the conversation is turning dry because of something that was said that threw them off. "Clear the air, and if nothing changes, then you know it's probably that their interest isn't there," confirms Cox.Now if asking to meet up seems a little early or premature, our experts suggest switching up your texting style. "Think of engaging and thought provoking questions to ask," Germany says. "Try questions like 'What was the best part of your day today?' or if they mentioned something specific they were doing, ask about it."In addition to asking more specific questions, Germany suggests scaling back the texting a little bit. If you feel like you've been doing all the work, slow down your texting and see if your crush picks it back up."A good goal is to aim for a 1:1 ratio, like an in-person conversation," says Cox. This means you should actively try to match their responses and how much effort you're putting in.Cox also suggests taking a look at your own texting style as well. If you are texting a crush like you would text your best friend (aka not holding anything back, texting full-on rants, and giving play-by-play accounts of your entire day, take a step back, says Cox."Steer clear from 300-word mega texts, random texts about topics they know nothing about, or over-texting him to the point they've run out of things to say."When It's Time to Give UpI don't know who needs to hear this, but dating is supposed to be fun. If you find yourself pacing in your bathroom and totally stressed about a texting conversation in the very early stages, it's likely time to move on."If you find the conversation more frustrating than fun, it's time to give it up," Germany says. "If you are still unsure, don't text first and see how long it takes for them to reach out. If they reach out pretty quickly, the situation might be able to be salvaged with some direct communication, but if it takes days or weeks, it's time to move on."In the event your crush really doesn't like texting, our experts suggest offering a different way to chat – like FaceTiming, hopping on a call, making plans IRL, etc. But if they're still dodging the alternative communicative methods, it's time to take the L.Germany notes that if someone's into you, they'll likely figure out some way to chat. And Cox adds you don't want to waste your time on someone who's not invested in you.That said, "If you are truly into them and everything seems to click when you are together in person, they hold true to their word and seem to genuinely care about you but are a dry texter, limit your text exposure to them and make plans in person," Cox says. "If they seem as aloof in person as they do via text, move on."

They are supposed to be professionals but instead, they acted like teenagers, gossiping and talking behind people's backs."

#GoodyTravels: Top Hiking Trails in Penang for Outdoor Junkies

No plans for the weekend? Why don’t you get out of your house and step into nature! Here are some hiking trails in Penang that you can visit this weekend!+ Carpet HillIf you’re the kind of person who loves hiking but is terrified of creepy crawlies hiding in ground, then you should hike at Carpet Hill. It is mostly made up of cement trails and tarred roads. The trail begins at Sungai Ara near Zan Pavilion and it is definitely not for people who hate steep ascends.When you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of Balik Pulau/Bayan Lepas and the second bridge.  There is also an insta-worthy spot up there which is the Glasshouse.
  Bear in mind that it is located at a higher point from the top so you will have to hike a little further, and you will not be able to enter the Glasshouse as it is private property. However, you can still take some cute photos with the Glasshouse in the background. + Bukit Jambul The Bukit Jambul hiking trail is definitely for those who prefer a shorter and less challenging hike. The entire trail is paved with large stones that form sort of like stairs leading up to the peak. It is well taken care of and has a lot of beautiful plants planted at beginning of the trail and also along the trail, closer to the peak.
  The peak of the hill has a seating area, two huge gazebos and a makeshift gym that was put together with some old gym equipment. You can lift weights and even do some pullups on the pull up bar attached to a tree’s trunk. If you’re not into weightlifting then you can definitely go there to enjoy the view of Penang, both the bridges and even Pulau Jerjak!
  + Moongate Trail to Penang HillThis trail is definitely not for the weak! It is long hike! You can easily spot it along the road to the Botanical Gardens.
  This trail splits into one, one with steep stairs and another without the stairs where you can properly experience nature. While the trail without the stairs is definitely better for the knees, it is also still very steep. At the end of this hike, you will reach Moon Gate Station 5 which has over the years transformed into a fancy rest stop. You can definitely stop here to catch your breath, take in the beautiful view and of course do some exercise. Just like the peak of Bukit Jambul, this place also ha a makeshift gym with old gym equipment.
  + Taman Negara (Pantai Kerachut Trail)Taman Negara Pulau Pinang is definitely one of the most popular hiking spots. While you will be tempted by some of the boatmen before the hike, do not fall for it or you will miss out on the beauty of the trees and a beachy trail. The Pantai Kerachut Trail is definitely for beginners and it takes you all the way across the park to a nice but very deadly beach. We say deadly as there have been many jellyfish spotted in the water, so stay out of the water!
  We definitely recommend packing a snack and having a small picnic on the beach after the hike. There are also some other attractions on the beach like a turtle sanctuary and a meromictic lake that you can learn all about when you reach there. What seems to start of as a simple jungle trekking experience will transition into never ending steep ascends, but don’t worry, what goes up must come down. You will also get to pass some small streams and rivers using tree trunks as bridges which will make you feel like you’re in an Indiana Jones movie.
  + Penang Hill Heritage HillAnother trail for beginners as it is the most direct trail to the top of the hill! It is hidden near the Penang Hill Funicular Train Lower Station and sticks closely to the train route with multiple stops along the way for you to catch your breath. This hike starts with some concrete steps before slow transitioning you to a dirt path. After a while you will reach the middle point which is a perfect place to stop for a while and take some photos of the view.
  While you take a break there, you can watch the cable car pass by and be jealous of all those people enjoying the cool air conditioning. After that, when you continue your journey to the top you will pass by some houses and gardens which will not have much shade. Then after you reach the next stop, you will get to the jungle path with tall tress and huge roots sticking out of the ground. After the forest you will go underneath the underpass of the cable car by climbing up some stairs and a few minutes later you will reach the top. As you can see this trail has variety.
  + Cherok TokunThis hiking trail is located in the town of Bukit Mertajam. It is actually a nature park with many hiking trails.
  The best trail for beginners is the one next to the waterfall as it is less steep. If you want the best view, then take the viewing point trail which is marked with the colour red. To get on the viewing platform trail, you just have to follow the road until you reach the small hut, and the trail is located in the corner.It is not a difficult trail, and beginners can also try it out. It is definitely worthwhile for the view you get at the viewing point. It is a very mountainous view, and you can see all the way to Gunung Bintang in Baling.

Muhyiddin Berates PM Anwar For His Kleptocrat Decorated Cabinet, Minister Fahmi Fadzil Claps Back

Right after prime minister Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced his new cabinet line-up, seas of criticism began greeting their attack, one of which was from former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. The new cabinet lineup has been dubbed the most disappointing in the history of the nation by the former prime minister, adding that by selecting a "kleptocrat" for the Cabinet, Anwar Ibrahim sacrificed the values of fair governance.KENYATAAN MEDIAPerdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim telah menggadai prinsip tatakelola yang baik seperti yang dijaja semasa kempen pilihanraya apabila melantik kleptokrat menganggotai kabinet. (1/9)— Muhyiddin Yassin (@MuhyiddinYassin) December 3, 2022 This is In relation to Zahid Hamidi's appointment as deputy prime minister, who was previously charged of 47 counts of corruption, CBT, and money laundering. In his statement, he also criticised Anwar's appointment as finance minister, warning that it would result in a concentration of power and widespread financial fraud akin to the 1MDB crisis.In response to Muhyiddin's statement, the newly appointed Minister of Communications and Multimedia clapped back saying Muhyiddin "has his own corruption to worry about."Menjawab Tan Sri Muhyiddin pic.twitter.com/bxCAuwnBfS— Fahmi Fadzil (@fahmi_fadzil) December 3, 2022 The minister emphasised in his remark that the PM was not the sole factor in deciding who would be appointed to the cabinet and that "this is not the government of Pakatan Harapan where the PM can easily pick anybody he thinks fit."Minister Fahmi concludes hi statement by reminding Muhyiddin that the 1Bestari Net and the purported RM500 billion pandemic funds are among the corruption-related issues that Muhyiddin himself has and that these issues also demand attention.This looks intense.

How to Report Your Positive Covid-19 Test Results

The number of positive cases in Malaysia seems to be showing signs of a downwards trend thanks to most citizens following the SOP, the people working in the health department, and of course, huge thanks to the brave frontliners who put their lives at risk each and every day for the betterment of others.
  To make contact tracing and our lives a little easier, the team behind MySejahtera are also working hard to provide us new features for contact tracking. Did you know, they have also added a function to upload your positive test results? In the unfortunate incident where you have been tested positive, it is crucial to upload the results to MySejahtera as soon as possible to help with the government's efforts in contact tracing. Here's how:Method 1 (For official clinical tests):Go to helpdesk, choose option F - "I am COVID-19 positive and would like to report my results. Then, fill in your details and upload your lab results.

  Method 2 (For self-testing):Go to helpdesk, choose option G - "I want to update my COVID-19 Self Test Report". Then, fill in your details and update your self-test results.

  KKM also reminded us that if we have a negative lab test or clinic test, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT upload the negative test results because the system does not know how to differentiate between the results and will label you as "POSITIVE".For self-testing, it is OK to mention your negative results.So, to avoid any trouble, it'd be best to just keep any negative results to yourself. But if (touchwood) you did get positive, do your part and report it to MySejahtera right away!
