Perkara ini telah dijelaskan oleh Menteri Kesihatan Malaysia, Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad dalam satu sidang media seperti yang dilaporkan MalaysiaKini."Penutupan 33 klinik ini akan dilakukan secara berperingkat dan tidak akan menjejaskan penyampaian perkhidmatan kesihatan kepada penduduk di sekitarnya, kerana ada fasiliti kesihatan berdekatan (hospital dan klinik kesihatan)," katanya.Menurut Dr. Dzulkefly, setiap Klinik Komuniti itu nanti akan dijaga seorang pegawai kesihatan, ahli farmasi dan beberapa jururawat.

Dr. Dzulkefly berkata, tiga laporan  bakal dimuktamadkan di mesyuarat Kabinet membabitkan Klinik 1Malaysia, caj rundingan pengamal perubatan dan doktor di klinik dan hospital swasta serta kes gangguan seksual terhadap pegawai perubatan siswazah

Menurutnya, pihaknya sudah pun mengumpulkan pandangan dan cadangan berhubung perkara-perkara tersebut yang telah dikongsikan ketika sesi ‘town hall’ pada 28 Ogos yang lalu."Pandangan dan cadangan ini ada pro dan kontra namun semuanya akan saya rumus dan bentang kepada kabinet sebelum sebarang keputusan dibuat," katanya ketika diminta untuk mengulas berhubung kesan pelaksanaan Cukai Jualan dan Perkhidmatan (SST) terhadap kadar caj perundingan pengamal perubatan dan doktor bagi perkhidmatan di klinik dan hospital swasta di seluruh negara yang dijangka dinaikkan antara RM30 hingga RM125.

Di samping itu, beliau sedang menunggu laporan lengkap daripada Badan Penyiasatan Bebas yang menyiasat kes gangguan seksual terhadap pegawai perubatan siswazah oleh seorang ketua jabatan di sebuah hospital."Saya sedang menunggu laporan akhir yang akan dibentangkan selewat-lewatnya pada minggu depan. Kita akan pertimbangkan cadangan bagi memastikan isu ini dapat dikawal dan tidak akan berulang lagi," jelasnya.

Klinik 1Malaysia telah diperkenalkan oleh bekas Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak pada 2010 dan mempunyai sejumlah 346 buah klinik di seluruh negara

The husband wants the driver and the company to accept responsibility for the incident, which has traumatised both him and his wife severely

According to him, the lorry was driven at speeds exceeding the permitted limit and it was also carrying loads exceeding the safe limit."Due to this accident, my wife's uterus ruptured, her spine was split, three ribs were broken, and her brain and heart were injured," said the victim."This is our first child. Why are you all being so cruel and taking our baby away from us?"The lorry driver fled the scene right after the accident but was apprehended by police during a roadblock operation in Jeli, Kelantan.

"Guests From Hell" – Airbnb Owner Finds Home Trashed, Bed Broken & Forgotten Underwear

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

An Airbnb host recently took to Facebook to vent his anger after a group of guests left his three-storey bungalow homestay in Penang completely trashed

"Don't ever think becoming a homestay owner is easy. If you encounter [guests from hell], you will vomit blood," wrote Facebook user Eric Leow last Sunday, 12 June.The homestay owner was ranting after discovering his property in an utter mess when his guests checked out that day.According to the photos he posted, the house was not only littered with empty alcohol bottles, playing cards, and cigarette butts, but Leow found that the guests had also broken two holes in a bed frame, stained his bedsheets with curry, and left unexplainable clumps of hair and a pair of underwear in the bedrooms.

The guests stayed for three days and two nights and were supposed to check out at 11am on Sunday, but only left at 4pm

They even refused to pay the late check out fee when Leow requested for it.

Image via Eric Leow (Facebook)

Leow told China Press that the irresponsible guests also left vomit uncleaned on the floor and lost one of his house keys.He is unsure how many guests stayed at his homestay that is listed for up to 15 people, but he noted that were three cars parked in the driveway while they were there.This is how his homestay usually looks like:

The host of four years said he also understands his responsibility as a host to clean up after a guest's stay, but he has never encountered such "guests from hell"

Leow told SAYS that he was only ranting on Facebook and does not plan to take any legal action or make a police report against the guests.He has left a negative review of them on Airbnb and made a claim for damages on the platform.He added that after spending over three hours cleaning, the cleaners and himself have restored the house to its original clean state, and asked future guests not to worry.See Leow's full post here.

These homestay owners also had to deal with guests from hell:

Employers Are Going The Extra Mile Making Sure Employees Have Enough Time To Vote For GE14

After it was announced that polling for GE14 will be held on 9 May, the choice of date was a cause of concern for many Malaysians, as it falls on a Wednesday i.e. working day

In light of criticism from the rakyat, the Prime Minister’s Office has declared 9 May a public holiday across the country

Image via fotowarung

Prior to the announcement, several local companies had already given their employees the day off shortly after the polling date was announced

Although employers are obligated to give employees a sufficient amount of time to vote for any general election, some companies have gone above and beyond to make sure staff members exercise their right to vote.KL-based PR company H2S Consulting and production company GRIM FILM were among the first to give employees the day off to cast their ballots.

Local florist Happy Bunch also announced that they will be closed for the day with co-founder Joanne Ho saying that, "As citizens of Malaysia, we have a right and that right comes with an obligation"

Image via Happy Bunch

"To vote for what we believe will be good for our future and our children's future. What happens on 10 May, next year, three years from now, will depend on whether we exercise that obligation. As a Malaysian company, we too have a civic duty to enable our team members to be able to exercise that right and obligation," she added.

Some companies also went the extra mile, such as the management of ShekinahPR who gave employees one extra day so they have enough time to travel home and vote

Image via Christopher Raj/Facebook

Shah Alam-based Marble Emporium even went viral on social media after a memo announcing the factory’s three-day closure as well as the company giving employees travel allowances and air tickets was posted up yesterday

“If employers can spend on compulsory annual return tickets for their foreign workers, why can’t the same be done for our Sabahan and Sarawakian workers once every five years for the general election?” said Sim, according to The Star.

Sim added that 11 of his workers from Sabah and Sarawak will receive three days off from 7 to 9 May, free return air tickets, and RM300 travel allowance each, with expenses coming up to about RM1,000 per worker.

Meanwhile, despite not being required to do so by Singaporean laws, jewellery store owner Ngo Hea Ong gave his Malaysian employees the day off anyway so they can return home to vote

“Seven out of nine of my employees are Malaysians... my employees are mostly from Beruas and Gopeng in Perak, while the others are from Kepong, Port Dickson and Tebrau,” said the 40-year-old, according to MalaysiaKini. Ngo added that he was prepared to bear the losses for the two days that his staff are off.

In the meantime, generous citizens are offering carpool rides back to hometowns to vote:

This Malaysian Lad Is Being Recognised By The Queen Of UK For His Work In Fighting Poverty

At 20, while most struggle with life's little questions, Calvin Woo Yoong Shen is helping boost social development in Malaysia with his work by improving access to education and fighting poverty...

Calvin drafts modules for personal, career, academic and technical programmes at a social enterprise company called SASTRA (Strategic Transformation via Education Development). He is the SASTRA Head of Programme for Malaysia.Now his efforts have won him the Queen's Young Leaders Award. As the only Malaysian among 60 winners from across the Commonwealth, Calvin will be receiving the prestigious award from the Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace next year.

The young leaders programme looks at achievements of young people in transforming  lives and making a lasting difference in their communities, a statement from the organisers said.This year’s award winners, aged between 18 and 29, are working to raise awareness and inspire change on various issues, including on education, climate change, gender equality, mental health and disability equality.As part of the award, winners will receive mentoring and online learning provided by the University of Cambridge. bRecipients will attend a week-long residential programme in the UK in June when they receive their award at Buckingham Palace.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Speaking to TMI, Calvin, who feels honoured to be part of the programme and to be recognised among other brilliant people, said:

"I believe in the power of education to change lives. Through my work, I help marginalised young people in Malaysia by providing them with career planning and academic workshops. It’s amazing to be recognised among so many other brilliant young people who are making a difference."

At SASTRA, Calvin's programme modules are used by his team of six to teach underprivileged students aged between 15 and 17...

"We are sometimes invited to the schools and at times, we look for schools to carry out our programmes. These kids can be slackers, drug addicts or just people who do bad things when they are supposed to be studying," he said, adding that his team has to date executed the eight-month long programme at one school in Kedah and another in Kuala Lumpur.Asked if the students took him seriously given that he is just a few years older than them, Woo said they, in fact, became accepting after knowing his age."I tell them my age and when I do so, they become more open with me. I am able to hear their problems and help them see opportunities to overcome them," he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Calvin, who regards his family as the inspiration for his wanting to help the community and nation through education, says, a country can only develop economically when the people start to pull themselves together to make a change...

Of his own experience in school, Woo said it was somewhat difficult for him to get along with his classmates as he was "different" from them. Spending most of his time in the library in school and Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris where he did his diploma in English language, Woo said his friends were his teachers and lecturers."I enjoy intellectual conversations and so my friends are mostly academicians," he said, adding that he spent his free time playing badminton. "I also try to make it a point to visit my family in Muar (Johor) whenever I can as my younger brother, who is 17 years old, is one of the reasons why I decided to choose this path," he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Speaking to The Malay Mail Online about his long-term plan, Calvin said that before he turns 30, he would like to start a family, get a doctorate and start his very own socio-enterprise

"Before I’m 30 years old, I would like to do all these but whether they are going to happen or not, it is in His (God's) hands. My short term goal would be to study for my degree in education studies," he said.

‘Boleh Saya  Hisap Awak?’ - Wanita Kongsi Pengalaman Diganggu Oleh ‘Pervert’ Di Dalam LRT

Kejadian ini berlaku terhadap seorang wanita semasa beliau berada dalam perjalanan ke tempat kerjanya

Image via Facebook/DiniVanHaeren

Dini Van Haeren sedang berada dalam perjalanan ke tempat kerjanya di Kuala Lumpur ketika insiden ini berlaku. Semasa di dalam LRT, Dini berasa tidak selesa apabila ternampak seorang pemuda yang kelihatan mencurigakan sedang memandang kearahnya.“Pemuda ini memandang saya dari atas ke bawah dengan senyumannya yang nakal dan sinis. Kamu pasti akan berasa tidak selamat kalau kamu lihat wajahnya ketika itu,” jelas Dini.

“Saya mendengar seperti suatu bisikan di telinga saya - dia berkata, ‘Boleh saya hisap awak?’”

Selepas membisikkan ayat itu ke telinga Dini, pemuda itu meneruskan gangguan seksualnya seperti memberi senyuman yang menakutkan dan asyik membuat mimik muka yang sungguh menjelikkan.“Oleh kerana keadaan di dalam LRT itu agak sempit, saya terpaksa berdiri dekat dengannya. Dia berada betul-betul di hadapan pintu LRT. Dia masih tenung ke arah saya, senyum dan membuat-buat muka.”

Dini mengumpulkan keberanian beliau dan menjerit kepada pemuda itu namun beliau hanya mendapat senyuman sinis sebagai balasan

Image via Facebook/DiniVanHaeren

“Apa masalah you?” jerit Dini hilang kesabaran.Dini tidak dapat bertahan lebih lama lagi. Beliau terus mencapai telefon bimbitnya dan mengambil gambar pemuda itu. Namun, pemuda itu sempat menutup wajahnya dengan air kotak supaya identitinya tidak terbongkar.“Saya tak nak dia lihat saya menangis. Dia pasti akan rasa puas hati kalau tengok saya rasa takut dengan gangguannya itu,” kata Dini lagi.

Dini berasa kesal kerana tidak menimbulkan kekecohan di dalam LRT pada waktu itu

Bercakap kepada SAYS, Dini akui berasa kesal kerana tidak menimbulkan kekecohan di dalam LRT pada waktu itu“Orang di sekeliling saya melihat dia, tapi saya tak berjaya menimbulkan adegan yang cukup besar supaya orang ramai boleh bertindak. Saya ingin berbuat demikian supaya pemuda itu akan ditangkap dan dihalau keluar dari keretapi atau apa-apa saja yang dapat menyelamatkan saya ketika itu,” jelas Dini.Menurut Dini lagi, kejadian itu berlaku dengan pantas sekali dan beliau tidak mempunyai masa untuk mengambil tindakan atau memikirkan untuk melakukan apa-apa terhadap pemuda itu.“Saya sepatutnya menjerit, menengking, dan menghalau dia. Tapi saya terlalu terkejut dengan perbuatannya itu, saya tidak tahu apa yang patut dilakukan. Saya berasa begitu marah, sedih dan malu dalam masa yang sama.”

Walau bagaimanapun, Dini tidak merasakan insiden ini akan menghalang beliau daripada menggunakan pengangkutan awam pada masa akan datang

“Saya tak fikir insiden ini akan menghalang saya untuk meneruskan kehidupan saya seperti biasa. Perkara seperti ini seharusnya dapat menjadikan wanita lebih kuat untuk mempertahankan diri mereka sendiri.”Dini, yang sering menggunakan perkhidmatan LRT mengakui telah beberapa kali mengalami gangguan seksual sebelum kejadian ini.“Saya telah diusik berkali-kali. Ramai lelaki yang selalu bersiul setiap kali ternampak saya ataupun membisik perkataan yang menggelikan dalam telinga saya. Mereka berkata ‘buah dada’ atau ‘tetek’ di telinga saya.“Tapi kebanyakannya berlaku apabila saya berjalan di khalayak ramai dan bila saya menoleh ke belakang, mereka telah berlalu pergi. Ada juga di antara mereka yang sengaja melanggar saya dan memberi jelingan nakal.”

Dini telah pun membuat laporan kepada RapidKL mengenai kejadian itu dan siasatan sedang dilakukan

Menurut Dini, pihak berkuasa mengambil semua maklumat yang diperlukan bagi melakukan siasiatan terhadap kes itu.“Mereka bertindak dengan cepat, sebaik saja saya melaporkan perkara ini, mereka terus mengambil tindakan selanjutnya. Saya akan dimaklumkan sekiranya mereka menerima sebarang maklumat baru.“Saya berharap RapidKL akan memberi tumpuan terhadap perkara sebegini agar wanita tidak lagi berasa takut dan terancam ketika menaiki kenderaan awam,” kata Dini.

What You Should Know About ISIS' Latest Beheading Of An Ex-Soldier Turned Humanitarian

On 16 November 2014, a YouTube video posted by ISIS showed Jihadi John, a nickname given to an ISIS fighter known for his role as the apparent executioner in several beheading incidents in 2014, standing over a severed human head, now confirmed to be of 26-year-old Peter Kassig, also know as Abdul-Rahman Kassig

Peter Kassig in front of a truck somewhere along the Syrian border between late 2012 and autumn 2013 as Special Emergency Response and Assistance (SERA) was delivering supplies to refugees
Image via dailymail.co.uk

The video was released by al-Furqan Media, which is controlled by Isis. It showed a man who looked and sounded like a British-accented fighter seen in other such videos, standing over what appeared to be Kassig’s severed head.

        theguardian.com

Kassig, a former army ranger who served in Iraq before returning to the Middle East and founding a humanitarian group, was captured in October 2013.

        theguardian.com

Previously on 3 October 2014, at the end of a video showing beheading of Alan henning, a British aid worker, the ISIS had threatened the life of Kassig, a former American Army Ranger turned air worker, blaming Obama and his renewed military action in Syria and Iraq for his and other hostages' deaths

Image via twimg.com

Kassig is the fifth western hostage to be killed by ISIS. Two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and the British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, were the others to be beheaded before Kassig.

In response to Kassig's beheading, US President Obama, in a statement that referred to the name the Indiana native adopted (Peter Kassig was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana), after converting to Islam while in captivity, said:

Image via msnbc.com

“We offer our prayers and condolences to the parents and family of Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter. We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time.”

        theguardian.com

Obama was speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on his return from the G20 summit in Brisbane, Australia. He praised Kassig as a humanitarian killed “in an act of pure evil” by Isis. The president said the group “revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction”.

“These were the selfless acts of an individual who cared deeply about the plight of the Syrian people,” Obama said. In his statement, Obama said: “[Isis’s] actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own.”

On 17 November, the parents of Kassig said their "hearts are battered" and they need time to "mourn, cry – and yes – forgive"

"Our hearts are battered, but they will mend. The world is broken, but it will be healed in the end. And good will prevail as the One God of many names will prevail," his mother, Paula Kassig, said at a news conference at Epworth United Methodist Church in Indianapolis.

"Please pray for Abdul-Rahman, or Pete if that's how you know him, at sunset this evening," his father, Ed Kassig, said. "Pray also for all people in Syria, in Iraq, and around the world that are held against their will. And lastly, please allow our small family the time and privacy to mourn, cry -- and yes, forgive -- and begin to heal," he said.

Both his parents also asked people not to focus on his murder and, instead, to keep "his legacy alive"

“We prefer our son is written about and remembered for his important work and the love he shared with friends and family, not in the manner the hostage takers would use to manipulate Americans and further their cause,” they said in a statement reported by the Indianapolis Star.

        washingtonpost.com

Kassig was an only child who grew up in Broad Ripple, Ind., a small town outside Indianapolis. His father taught science, and his mother worked as a nurse. He ran track and played guitar. And after he graduated from high school, he reportedly joined the U.S. Army Rangers and served four months in Iraq. Then he was honorably discharged for medical reasons. He got married and divorced. He took some college courses. He trained as an emergency medical technician.

        washingtonpost.com

In 2012, Kassig told his parents he finally found his calling. He wanted to help others. During spring break in 2012, he flew to Lebanon while studying political science at Butler University.

“Here, in this land, I have found my calling,” he wrote in an e-mail to friends and teachers, the Indianapolis Star reported. “Yesterday my life was laid out on a table in front of me. With only hours left before my scheduled flight back to the United States, I watched people dying right in front of me. I had seen it before and I had walked away before…. I have run until I could not run any more.”

        washingtonpost.com

He stayed, and bandaged wounds, cared for people in clinics, and, just generally, helped. He was drawn across the Syrian border into a zone of both war and jihadi kidnapping. Joshua Hersh, who encountered Kassig when he was working there, wrote that he “didn’t try to convince me that going back was safe, or even wise. But his commitment to the relief project he had embarked on was untempered, and it was clear to me that he would soon go back.”

Those who knew him said it was his drive that set him apart

“While friends drank beer at bars on Gemmayze Street, Kassig grabbed camping gear and set out for the mountains,” journalist Joshua Hersh wrote in the New Yorker. “He visited the Palestinian refugee camps that dot the landscape around Beirut, thinking about ways to bring solar power and other utilities into those neglected communities. Later, as the war in Syria encroached on Lebanon’s borders, sending desperate and wounded civilians into rural communities in the north, Kassig traveled to Tripoli to volunteer his services at a clinic, suturing wounds and comforting the dying.”

#AskASexologist: "It Hurts Every Time I Have Sex, Is It Normal To Feel Pain?"

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.Disclaimer: The contents of this article are adult in nature. Reader discretion is advised.

Dr Rachael Winston, affectionately known as Dr Ray, is a sexual health practitioner and Centre Medical Director at MUC Healthcare, and she's answering your questions!

We sat down with Dr Ray to talk through some of the burning questions we received from readers via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Look out for more articles in our Ask A Sexologist series on SAYS.

Whenever me and my partner try to have sex, I can't endure the pain, I can't let him in me fully, is it normal to feel that painful?

"That is called vaginismus," says Dr Ray. "That is a very real problem."According to the doctor, vaginismus is where you feel a tightening before penetration. So, when the penetration actually happens, it feels extremely painful, as if a knife is stabbing through your vagina. She goes on to say that vaginismus is a psychological issue "95% of the time," which can be helped with counseling and therapy. The condition often happens with women who rarely have sex or are fearful of sex.

"This pain during sex is called dyspareunia, and is a condition where you feel the constriction even before the penetration"

"So it's a very, very real problem, which has caused a lot of marriages to fail," Dr Ray continues, adding that she's seen many couples unable to have children because of it.

There is no medication for vaginismus, but it can be helped through both physical and mental approaches

"Time is what helps because you have to first understand the condition," explains Dr Ray. "There are sex tips and methods to prep yourselves before sex itself."Things that women who face vaginismus can try include various creams, Kegel trainers, Kegel machines, masturbation, and adult toys.With an adult toy, such as a vibrator, a woman may feel more comfortable with insertion or penetration as she can do it at her own pace."She's given time to prepare herself not only physically, but mentally too. [That way she's] ready for the penetration."Another method is the use of vaginal trainers, also known as vaginal dilators. These instruments can look similar to tampons and help to gently stretch the vagina.

Silicone vaginal dilators help slowly stretch the vaginal walls to decrease discomfort during intercourse.

Spending more time on foreplay, such as oral sex and fingering, can also make penetration more pleasurable. However, Dr Ray states that the key is to identify the underlying problem.

The root cause of vaginismus can vary between women."Is it the fear of sex itself, fear of penetration, fear of bleeding? It's always something," explains Dr Ray. Ultimately, counselling should definitely be part of your treatment plan for vaginismus. Opening up to a professional and discussing your feelings around sex can make a huge difference.Vibes Healthcare, where Dr Ray practises, is a clinic that specialises in sexual health, sexual dysfunction, and sex therapy. At Vibes Healthcare, vaginismus treatment is offered.

[FACT OR FAKE #23] Multitasking Makes You Less Productive!

Can our brain multitask? Is it good to multitask?

Image via imgur.com

Before we answer that, let's first figure out why we multitask in the first place?

Image via liveboldandbloom.com

To understand why we always fall into the habit of multitasking, when we know we shouldn't, the answer is in fact quite simple:
"[People who multitask] are not being more productive—they just feel more emotionally satisfied from their work."

        lifehacker.com

This is what researcher Zhen Wang mentions in a recent study on multitasking. She mentioned that if we study with our books open, watch TV at the same time and text friends every so often, we get a great feeling of fulfillment. We are getting all these things done at once, and we feel incredibly efficient.

        lifehacker.com

Multitasking, when it comes to paying attention, is a myth. Therefore, NO, our brain cannot multitask!

      Unsupported video platform

Multitasking, when it comes to paying attention, is a myth. The brain naturally focuses on concepts sequentially, one at a time. At first that might sound confusing; at one level the brain does multitask.

        blogspot.in

You can walk and talk at the same time. Your brain controls your heartbeat while you read a book. Pianists can play a piece with left hand and right hand simultaneously. Surely this is multitasking.

        forbes.com

But here we're talking about the brain’s ability to pay attention. It is the resource you forcibly deploy while trying to listen to a boring lecture at school. It is the activity that collapses as your brain wanders during a tedious presentation at work. This attentional ability is not capable of multitasking.

        blogspot.in

What multitasking does to your brain?

Having 20 tabs open on your laptop while Snapchatting with your best friend eating a sandwich and listening to Taylor Swift is overwhelming. And makes you mean!

        fastcompany.com

When we multitask all day, those scattered habits literally change the pathways in our brains. The consequence, according to Nass's research, is that sustaining your attention becomes impossible.

        time.com

Multitasking stunts emotional intelligence: Instead of addressing the person in front of you, you address a text message. Multitasking makes us worse managers: The more we multitask, the worse we are at sorting through information--recall the broadcast news kerfuffle above.

Saya Dan Mak Ayah Saya Kena 'Taxi Scam' Di Bangkok. Nasib Baik Kami Masih Hidup

Alkisah...

Cerita ini adalah sambungan daripada artikel yang diterbitkan dua minggu lalu tentang backpacking bersama ibu bapa di Kanchanaburi. Dan kali ni, saya nak cerita pasal Bangkok pulak. Bukan nak cerita pasal tempat-tempat menarik ke, makanan ke, atau apa yang anda kena buat di sana ke, saya just nak cerita tentang satu benda yang anda perlu berhati-hati.

Naik jeepney di Kanchanaburi.

Saya dan mak ayah saya kena scam dengan pemandu teksi di Bangkok!

Image via www.thecontinenthotel.com

Yes, boleh pulak terkena.Sebelum ni saya memang tak aware langsung pasal gejala scam ni. Bila saya dah terkena, saya rasa macam bertanggungjawab untuk share dengan semua orang. Maklumlah, orang kita kan ramai yang pergi Bangkok. So you better be safe than sorry.

Satu soalan:
Kalau naik tuktuk kena charge 200 Baht, naik teksi pulak kena charge 100 Baht untuk pergi tempat yang sama, mana satu anda akan pilih?

Tuktuk.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Siapa-siapa pun mesti akan pilih untuk naik teksi. Daripada naik tuktuk yang tak ada aircond dan panas, lebih baik naik teksi. Teksi Bangkok pakai kereta Toyota, ada aircond, siap leather seat sekali. Beg pulak boleh simpan dalam boot kereta. Selesa sangat.Kelebihan yang ada pada tuktuk mungkin sekadar mengelakkan kesesakan lalu lintas sikit sebab boleh main cilok-cilok. Tapi, dengan kepanasan Bangkok yang suhunya lebih kurang macam di KL, teksi juga yang menjadi pilihan.

Samalah macam saya dan mak ayah saya. Kami ditawarkan harga yang jauh lebih murah untuk naik teksi jika dibandingkan dengan naik tuktuk.

Setibanya kami di Thonburi Station di Bangkok selepas 5 jam perjalanan naik keretapi dari Kanchanaburi, kami sebenarnya plan nak balik hotel terus. Lepas dah check in baru kami akan keluar semula untuk jalan-jalan. Tapi biasalah, plan mesti akan bertukar.

Thonburi Station, Bangkok.
Image via www.renegadetravels.com

Rupa-rupanya, Thonburi Station tu dah dekat sangat dengan Chao Praya River. Bukan saja Chao Praya River, kawasan sekitar tu pun ada banyak tempat-tempat menarik yang boleh kami terus lawat seperti Grand Palace, Wat Pho, dan Wat Arun. Bila tengok balik itinerari yang saya buat sebelum datang, inilah 3 lokasi yang saya memang nak pergi.Jadi kami ambil keputusan untuk *settle*kan 3 lokasi ni dulu tambah dengan Chao Praya River Cruise, lepas tu baru kami pergi hotel.

Chao Praya River Cruise.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Di bawah terik matahari bersuhu 38 darjah celsius, kami bertiga pun mulakan perjalanan ke 3 lokasi yang saya sebut tadi

Menapak di Bangkok.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Panasnya Bangkok! Kami menapak hampir 700 meter ke Grand Palace dari jeti pertama. Pergi Grand Palace tapi istana tak nampak pun. Nampak orang je. Punyalah ramai pelancong datang. Sampai-sampai je, rupanya Grand Palace tengah tutup masa tu sebab ada upacara Buddha dan akan dibuka semula pukul 1 tengahari nanti.Waktu kami sampai tu baru pukul 11. So, kami pun menapak pulak ke jeti ke-2 lebih kurang dalam 300 meter untuk buat Chao Praya River Cruise. Sempatlah kami singgah ke Wat Arun, salah satu candi paling popular kat Bangkok. Satu lokasi, checked!

Wat Arun. Masih dalam fasa renovation.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Jam menunjukkan pukul 1 lepas kami habis buat river cruise. Kami menapak semula ke Grand Palace. Agak jauh jugaklah pintu masuk istana ni. Dah lah waktu tu panas gila. Sampai Grand Palace, kami ditenggelami dengan lautan manusia. Orang terlalu ramai sampai buat kami rasa tak selesa.

Lautan manusia di perkarangan Grand Palace.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Sampai di kaunter tiket, check harga, 500 Baht satu kepala. Wah, mahalnya! Penat kami jalan jauh-jauh bawah terik matahari, last last tak masuk pun sebab terlalu mahal. Terpaksalah kami patah balik ke pintu masuk Grand Palace.

Grand Palace. Ambil gambar kat halaman istana je yang mampu. Nak masuk mahal sangat.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Mak ayah saya masa ni dah macam tak larat dah sebenarnya. Tapi mereka gagahkan jugak untuk ke lokasi seterusnya, Wat Pho. Nasib baik Wat Pho ni sebelah je dengan Grand Palace. Naik tuktuk tak sampai 5 minit terus sampai.

The reclining Buddha of Wat Pho. Patung Buddha mengiring sepanjang 46 meter ni diselaputi dengan daun emas dari kepala sampai ke kaki.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Selesai melawat Wat Pho, tibalah masanya kami kena scam dengan drebar teksi masa kami nak balik hotel

Masa tu dah tak fikir apa dah. Memang fikir nak katil dan aircond je. Tak tahan dah berjemur panas-panas. Penat sangat kena menapak sana sini. Kami pun tahan satu tuktuk tepi jalan, tunjuk alamat hotel, lepastu dia charge kami 200 Baht. Lokasi hotel kami agak jauh dari situ dalam setengah jam. Jadi, agak makes sense sebenarnya caj yang dikenakan tu.Tapi kami rasa macam mahal je. Apa kata try tanya harga teksi. Kebetulan ada satu teksi tengah berhenti, kami pun terus tanya harga. Drebar teksi tu cakap "100 Baht". Wow, ini dah cukup bagus. Naik teksi lagi selesa siap ada aircond boleh pulak harga 50% lagi murah. Tanpa fikir panjang, kami pun terus naik. Ahhh lega rasanya dapat aircond.

Teksi macam ni lah yang kami naik.
Image via www.thebigchilli.com

Tiba-tiba...

Damn, rupanya teksi ni ada muslihat. Si drebar teksi tu pun mulakan perbualan dalam English dengan loghat Thailand dengan berkata:"This ride will cost you 200 Baht. I will bring you to your hotel after this. But first, I have to get you to my client's place at bla bla bla. It's a very nice jewellery place with lots of things you can buy for your friends in Malaysia. All so cheap cheap and beautiful. We go there and you see first. After that, you will shop there and get one chop (stamp) for me, then this taxi ride will be free!"Lebih kurang macam ni lah dia cakap. Tiba-tiba harga dah jadi 200 Baht. Padahal masa mula-mula tu dia cakap 100 Baht je. Aduh!Boleh pulak dia nak bawak pergi tempat barang kemas. Motifnya, dia kena dapatkan cop dari klien dia tu. Jadi, setiap penumpang yang naik teksi dia, dia mesti kena bawak pergi situ. Bila dapat cop, mungkin ada lah reward yang dia akan dapat nanti dari si klien tu.

Ah sudah! Daripada mula-mula fikir katil, kali ni dah fikir benda lain pulak. Macam mana boleh terkena scam pulak ni. Why always me?

Sampai di lokasi, dia drop kami di pintu masuk sementara dia pergi cari parking. Masa kami sampai tu, demonstrasi penghasilan barang kemas dah nak start. Staf-staf kat situ suruh kami masuk dalam untuk sesi tersebut.Nasib baik ada welcome drinks. Kami minum kejap, lepastu kami terus keluar, dan terus menuju ke drebar teksi kami tadi. Kami cakap kat dia kami tak nak dengar demonstrasi tu, kami tak nak beli apa-apa, dan kami nak balik hotel sekarang jugak sebab dah penat. Cop yang dia mintak tu pun kami langsung tak nak bagi.Si drebar ni mula meninggikan suara sikit. Masa ni dia memang bengang gila dengan kami. Maka tercetuslah sedikit argument diantara si drebar dengan ayah saya.Drebar teksi: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? When I told you I wanna bring you here you only said OK OK. You agreed to go here first. Why didn't you tell me you don't wanna go?"Ayah: "Jewelleries here are all expensive. We are not rich. We don't wanna buy anything here. We thought you wanna bring us to a cheap place. But this one we cannot afford."Drebar teksi: "What expensive? You go inside and see first. They all so nice and beautiful. What expensive?"Ayah: "No, we are very tired and we wanna go back to our hotel."Drebar teksi: "Pay me 300 Baht!!"Ayah: "OK we will pay you. No Problem."

Haaa inilah tempatnya! Gems Gallery International Manufacturer.
Image via www.virtualtourist.com

Hmmm... Daripada 100, naik ke 200, lepastu naik lagi jadi 300 Baht. Terpaksa jugaklah kami bayar. Dengan muka bengisnya, dia pun bawa kami ke hotel. Dalam 20 minit, kami sampai.

Kami selamat sampai ke Ibis Hotel, Bangkok Siam.
Image via www.hotelopia.com

Langsung tak nak senyum dah si drebar tu. Mula-mula masa kami baru masuk teksi punyalah murah dengan senyuman. Cakap pun lembut, baik je. Bila tak dapat cop, terus muka jadi masam macam tempoyak.Lepas kami bayar 300 Baht, dia terus blah macam tu je, tanpa senyum dan tanpa cakap terima kasih. Kesian dia tak dapat cop. Hehe :P

Fiuuhhh lega betul kami sebab tak diapa-apakan. Nasib baik dia masih sudi nak hantar kami ke hotel. Syukur kami selamat.

Katakan TIDAK kepada scammer!
Image via tourist-scams.com

Agak bahaya juga bila difikirkan semula. Katakanlah dia berniat jahat dan bawa kami ke tempat yang tak sepatutnya, kami memang tak boleh nak buat apa-apa.Begitulah cerita saya dan mak ayah saya kena scam. Buat siapa-siapa yang akan ke Bangkok atau ke mana-mana saja nanti, berhati-hatilah dengan scammers seperti ini. Mereka ada di mana-mana dan sentiasa memburu mangsa demi mangsa.Semoga semuanya selamat :)

Syukur kami bertiga selamat :)

This Is How Much Water Malaysians Waste Every Day

The Spotlight is sponsored by Indah Water Konsortium.

The average Malaysian wastes about 50,000 litres of water every year

Image via Shutterstock

According to a 2016 news report, a single Malaysian wastes up to 50,000 litres of water every year. This exceeds the water usage recorded in countries like United States and Australia in the same year.

The daily water requirement per person set by the United Nations (UN) is 165 litres, but Malaysians use up to 300 litres every day

Image via Construction Week Online

The daily water consumption benchmark set up the UN is 165 litres per day for every person. 165 litres of water is enough to meet a person's basic daily needs, such as showering, washing, and drinking. However, the average Malaysian uses almost double that amount daily.

This means that the amount of water wasted by a single Malaysian is enough to meet another person's daily needs

Image via The Malay Mail Online

There are about 844 million people around the world who have no access to clean water, which causes disease and loss in business opportunities. The 135 litres of water that every Malaysian wastes each day could easily meet the daily water requirements of one of these people.

In conjunction with World Water Day, Indah Water Konsortium wants to remind Malaysians to stop wasting water

Image via Poh Chee Woi / Facebook

World Water Day is set on 22 March every year to remind people about the importance of water. Indah Water Konsortium wants to encourage Malaysians to celebrate this day by stopping water wastage. Here are some simple things you can start doing:- Get any pipe leakages fixed ASAP to prevent more wastage.- Recycle the water you use to wash your rice or pasta to water your plants.- Don't keep the tap running while you brush your teeth, use a cup to store the water needed instead. - Stop taking long showers.- Only use the washing machine if you have a full load of clothes.- Use a tub of water to clean your dishes.- Collect rain water and use it to water your plants or wash the porch.

Let's all do our part to help reduce water wastage!

Lee Chong Wei's Cute Instagram Post For His Wife Got Everyone Wishing They Were In Love

Datuk Wira Lee Chong Wei recently took it to Instagram to wish his lovely wife a happy anniversary

On Sunday, 10 November, Malaysia's favourite badminton player posted a series of wedding photos of him and his wife.

Image via Instagram @leechongweiofficial

The post has since garnered over 100,000 likes.

Along with the photo, the national hero shared that he used to pluck shuttlecock feathers to find out whether his wife liked him back or not

Image via Instagram @leechongweiofficial

Looking back at when he first fell in love with his wife, he explained that he was too shy to ask for her phone number and then he got some advice from a friend. He wrote, "As dumb as I may be, one of my teammates is dumber."

Sixteen years ago, a teammate told him to pluck rose petals to see if she liked him back. Sadly, as a young and upcoming badminton player, Datuk Lee Chong Wei couldn't afford to buy roses. His teammate then suggested to him to pluck shuttlecock feathers instead."Only then I learned that shuttlecocks have 16 feathers," he said.

Image via Instagram @leechongweiofficial

He wrote, "People said I'm lucky to have won many titles. But to me, I feel luckiest to have won your heart."
Now netizens couldn't get over how sweet he is.

One person said, "I'm not asking for much, I just hope my future husband would appreciate me just like how Datuk Lee Chong Wei appreciates his wife."

Image via Twitter @lissaqalissa

Another netizen wrote, "Datuk's caption really moved me. I was so sad when I found out he has stopped playing badminton. I wish you all the happiness, Datuk Lee Chong Wei!"

Image via Twitter @jhajaeyaa

Meanwhile, a Twitter user pointed out how Datuk Lee Chong Wei is aggressive on the court but is actually a sweetheart when he's not in a game.

[VIDEO] Kejam! Haiwan Hidup Dijual Dalam Beg Plastik Dan Dijadikan 'Key Chain' Di China

Kejam, dahsyat, dan mengerikan!

Sebaik melihat video di bawah, terus kelu lidah kami untuk berkata-kata. Tak sangka produk sebegini ada dijual di tepi jalan di China.

Live animal keychains are still being sold in ChinaHorrible find in Xiamen, China. I saw this on FB a couple of years ago but never thought I'd actually come across it. These things are cheap, selling for only 15-20RMB (USD$2-3). It's terrifying how businessmen could find it acceptable to turn animal lives into disposable objects. What's more terrifying is that the people around me actually thought it amusing. There was a demand. The sight of it made me sick. But I don't think it would compare to the constant seasick the baby terrapins, fish and salamander would feel as they precariously hang off the handle of a bag, and get carelessly tossed onto tables and into bags.Posted by Mei Mei Chu on Tuesday, February 28, 2017

Video di atas telah dirakam oleh seorang travel blogger Mei Mei Chu yang juga merupakan seorang penulis di The Star pada bulan lalu ketika lawatannya ke Xiamen, China. Mei menemui key chain ini dijual di pasar Zeng Cuo'an iaitu salah satu tempat tumpuan pelancong.Menurut Mei, satu key chain ini dijual pada harga 15 yuan hingga 20 yuan (RM9.70 - RM12.90). Paling gila, orang-orang di situ rasa terhibur dan langsung tidak terkesan melihat koleksi key chain haiwan hidup ini.

Kesemua haiwan masih bernyawa dan boleh bergerak di dalam plastik kecil itu, tetapi tidak mempunyai ruang untuk pusing ke arah berlainan

Anak tuntung, ikan, dan cicak dimasukkan ke dalam beg plastik kecil berisi air beroksigen yang telah dicelup warna neon terang. Turut dimasukkan ke dalam kantung plastik adalah satu pellet, yang berfungsi sebagai makanan untuk haiwan berkenaan.Sejurus dimasukkan, haiwan-haiwan malang tersebut hanya boleh menghadap ke satu arah sahaja.

Lebih mengejutkan, haiwan-haiwan itu tidak perlu diberi makan langsung selama 3 bulan

Tidak pasti sudah berapa lama haiwan-haiwan tersebut dimasukkan ke dalam kantung plastik kecil sebelum dijual. Namun, menurut penjual di situ, pembeli tidak perlu memberi makan langsung kepada haiwan-haiwan hidup itu selama 3 bulan.

Papan tanda ini memberitahu pembeli tidak perlu memberi makan kepada haiwan selama 3 bulan.

Jadi, apa akan berlaku selepas 3 bulan? Haiwan-haiwan malang itu akan mati terseksa di dalam kantung beg plastik berkenaan.

Walaupun pelbagai petisyen telah dibuat untuk menghentikannya, produk ini masih dijual berleluasa di China

Gambar key chain kontroversi yang mengandungi haiwan hidup ini mula mendapat perhatian seawal tahun 2011. Aktivis hak asasi haiwan mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya perbuatan ini dan melabelnya sebagai satu kekejaman terhadap haiwan.

Satu petisyen yang dibuat 4 tahun lalu.

Bercakap kepada The Star, Profesor Hydroekologi, Dr Sam Walton berkata bukan sekadar kekurangan oksigen dan makanan yang membunuh haiwan-haiwan ini

"Mungkin terdapat oksigen dan makanan yang mencukupi di dalam kantung plastik itu tetapi sisa haiwan dari pencernaan dan pernafasan adalah toksik dan akan membunuh mereka. Haiwan-haiwan ini pada dasarnya akan meracuni diri dengan ammonia," kata Dr Walton, bekas pensyarah penyelidikan di Universiti Malaysia Terengganu dalam satu temubual bersama The Star."Haiwan Akuatik adalah sangat sensitif terhadap turun naik suhu. Kejutan suhu ini dan kejutan fizikal daripada goncangan mungkin akan membunuh haiwan-haiwan ini sebelum perkara lain," katanya lagi.

Fatin bersama ibunya.

“Ibu mengajar saya menebar roti canai dan dia pesan pergerakan tangan dan tapak tangan mesti lembut untuk memastikan roti sedap. Kalau kasar, tak menjadi.“Percubaan pada hari pertama dan kedua gagal kerana roti canai ditebar tidak lembut. Saya fikir nak bantu ibu, saya cuba lagi dan Alhamdulillah hari ketiga berjaya,” kata Fatin yang membantu ibunya, Rosmawati Che Omar, 42, pada setiap hujung minggu bermula 5 petang hingga 12 tengah malam.

19-Year-Old Punished By Waterboarding Says He Stole Money To Buy Medicine For His Grandpa

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Editor's Note: The story has been updated with a statement by the accused's grandfather.Disclaimer: This story contains disturbing images. Viewer discretion is advised.

A video of a teenager getting waterboarded by a group of adults on a mortuary bed in a mosque in Selangor has gone viral on social media

According to Berita Harian, the incident is confirmed to have taken place at the Al-Islahiah Mosque in Kuang, Rawang last Saturday, 8 January.It was reported that the 19-year-old was being punished for stealing money from the mosque and hiding it in the mosque's mortuary bathroom.When caught, mosque officials punished him by physically restraining him to a mortuary bed and dousing him with running pipe water. The incident was recorded in a one-minute-and-25-second video that showed the men holding the teen down and also covering the teen's face with a piece of cloth and pouring water all over his head and body.On Twitter, a viral repost of the video reads, "Serves you right! Who told you to steal the mosque's savings box?"

Image via Twitter

While a handful of social media users supported the mosque officials for teaching the teenager a lesson, many more decried the barbarous punishment regardless of his wrongdoing

"Waterboarding is barbaric and it's torture. Stealing is wrong but so is waterboarding that kid. Hold that ustaz and his cronies accountable, they should be the ones in prison," said a Twitter user."Why the f***k isn't corporal punishment against the law in Malaysia yet?"

Image via Twitter

"A police report should be filed against those who did this. Whipping with a hose and waterboarding," said another, as netizens highlighted it was a form of assault."Rather than acting with compassion and finding out how to help him, this is what they did. Cruel."

Image via Twitter

The teenager has since been sentenced to 10 days' jail and a RM4,000 fine by the Selayang Magistrate's Court on Thursday, 13 January

Magistrate Nik Mohd Fadli Nik Azlan passed the sentence on 19-year-old Daniel Iskandar after the accused pleaded guilty to the offences, reported Free Malaysia Today.Daniel was charged under Sections 380 and 511 of the Penal Code for theft and attempting to commit a crime.Before the sentence was meted, the magistrate reprimanded Daniel for stealing the funds.He said, "What's wrong with you? People's money is allocated for the community and the construction of mosques. You stole it and put it in the mortuary. I hope you learn from this."

Image via Nur Aimidiyana Zuher/@bernamadotcom (Twitter)

Earlier, defence counsel Azman Abdullah asked the court to impose a more lenient sentence as it was the teenager's first offence and that he was sorry for the crime

The lawyer said Daniel was stealing the money to buy medication for his grandfather, who has diabetes, and had asked others for help but could not find any."The accused is the oldest of three children and his parents have been divorced since he was eight years old. He lives with his grandfather, who is in his 70s, and they are poor," said the lawyer, as quoted by Berita Harian."Their food and drinks are often given as handouts from their neighbours."Azman added that while the accused has pleaded guilty, the act of taking a video and spreading it on social media was not necessary and has caused distress to the teenager and his family.

However, Sungai Buloh police chief Supt Shafa'aton Abu Bakar said the 19-year-old stole the money to buy drugs and gamble online

"His urine screening test was positive for syabu," she said today, 14 January, as quoted by Sinar Harian.In an interview with Malaysia Gazette, Daniel's grandfather, Rosli Sidek, has also shared today that his grandson is a troubled teenager and has previously stolen money from himself and his late grandmother.He added that he did not ask Daniel to steal money to buy any medication and hopes that the law will change his grandson's future for the better.There has been no media reports regarding an investigation into the waterboarding incident itself or if action will be taken on the mosque officials for abusing the teenager.


"It Boils Down To People" — Accomplished Audit Partner Shares Importance Of Networking

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.

This Spotlight is sponsored by CPA Australia.

As you progress in your career, you'll realise networking is important

Besides expanding your circle for business growth, meeting new people also allows you to exchange professional knowledge that may help create an impact beyond just climbing the corporate ladder.Whether it is through volunteering or mentor-mentee relationships, connecting with people in your field helps uplift your career as well as others, especially in fast-paced industries like accounting, for example.This is where CPA Australia, one of the world's largest accounting bodies, can step in to help business professionals make more meaningful connections.

According to Mak Wai Kit CPA (Aust.), an audit partner with Deloitte, having an additional certification such as the CPA Program is a natural progression to professional success.
It also offers the opportunity to gain perspective and insight, thanks to CPA Australia's extensive network of members.

Mak has successfully been elected as a CPA Australia Malaysia Divisional Council member for the term 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025. He is also part of CPA Australia's Digital Transformation Committee.

As part of the audit and assurance practice, Mak has been with the firm based here in KL for about 15 years.An animal lover with a passion for the environment, his dedication to the latter extends to what he does professionally, which involves Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).Mak did his degree in an Australian university based in Malaysia, and felt it was fitting to get his certification via the CPA Program from CPA Australia.

He managed the recently-concluded Deloitte Audit Business Challenge (DABC) 2022, which saw participation from more than 35 universities locally. CPA Australia is the Exclusive Partner for the Deloitte Audit Business Challenge.

As CPA Australia is a global organisation, being a member does not only provide a path towards becoming a certified accountant, but also gives you access to thought leadership by other members and CPA Australia itself

Image via Mak Wai Kit (Provided to SAYS)

"As vast as the world is, we are limited by time and exposure in our day-to-day interaction at work. Having access and socialising with members gives one insight, a different perspective, empathy, and a truly global mindset," he explained.Like his job, some activities and events within the CPA Program have values aligned with ESG. From how to progress in your career to providing mentorship that includes aspects outside the accounting profession, these events are designed to give back to the community, especially the youth. Mak recently acted as a moderator for one such CPA Australia event called Zero to one – Journey of start-up to corporate, where panellists included startup founders and renowned personalities in the industry.

One encounter that left an impression on Mak was when he met a CEO who also owned a banana leaf restaurant

Image via Mak Wai Kit (Provided to SAYS)

The interesting thing is that the banana leaf restaurant was not just a way to make money, but also to help underprivileged communities.He said, "When you don't talk about profit in a conversation, it really takes a whole turn. It's no longer about, 'Okay, how am I gonna target this client?' or 'How am I gonna reach out to this person?'"It gives a different perspective of you wanting to help people, help them progress in life or give them a sense of purpose."

Mak recently picked up cycling, one of several things he does to keep his mind and body healthy.
Image via Mak Wai Kit (Provided to SAYS)

At the end of the day, having a professional certification brings benefits and a pathway to progression. But for Mak, it still boils down to people.

Image via Mak Wai Kit (Provided to SAYS)

"The CPA Program has a very extensive stress on connecting people within and outside of CPA Australia, to connect with people from all backgrounds and speciality — not only in finance and accounting but beyond," he said.Mak puts it best, "They say the value of a master's degree lies not in the academic materials but the friendships and relationships you forge throughout the programme. With CPA Australia, that happens all year round."

Image via Mak Wai Kit (Provided to SAYS)

Interested in advancing your career in this field? You can enrol for the Semester 1 2023 intake of the CPA Program from today until 27 January 2023.

If you'd like to find out how to join CPA Australia's enthusiastic network of young professionals and be the impact you'd like to see, attend one of its online information sessions, where you'll also receive a unique promo code. This code will entitle you to a RM576 waiver on the application fee when you use it to apply for the CPA Program. Want a CPA Australia team member to connect with you?

JPJ Now Allows Driving Licence Renewal Up To 10 Years

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will now allow the renewal of driving licences for a period of up to 10 years

Currently, the permitted validity is only up to five years.During a press conference today, 3 May, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the public could start applying for the 10-year driving licence renewals beginning Monday, 8 May, at any JPJ office and counter across the country."The public is now allowed to renew their driving licence yearly, or up to 10 years," he said in Putrajaya.

Image via Ministry of Transport Malaysia (Facebook)

The maximum 10-year validity renewal will also come at a special fee of RM270, with a discount off the last year

According to BFM News, this would mean the 10-year driving licence renewal would cost the equivalent of a nine-year renewal.However, drivers can still choose to renew their licence for any amount of years, between one and 10.

Loke said those seeking to apply for the 10-year renewal must be Malaysians, and that their existing licence would expire in a year

"This initiative is not eligible for foreigners as well as long-term pass holders," he was quoted as saying by New Straits Times."Those interested in renewing their driving licence for up to 10 years should make sure their remaining licence validity is less than a year," he added.

[NEW UPDATE] Now You Can Send Voice Messages on WhatsApp

WhatsApp adds voice messaging feature

Instant messaging service WhatsApp has rolled out an update that lets you now send voice texts by just pressing one button.

        techradar.com

The company announced the availability of this new feature while announcing that it has now hit the 300 million monthly active users mark.

        dnaindia.com

Whatsapp has reportedly worked on this feature for the past half year, and is intent on making the experience as smooth as possible.

        techcrunch.com

The app will detect whether the phone is held to the ear or in front of the user, and pipes received messages at the appropriate volumes.

        crazyengineers.com

“Certain languages such as Chinese are very difficult to type,” says Arora. “For some people it’s easier to send a quick voice message… and it’s more fun and expressive.”

        forbes.com

WhatsApp also allows users to send video files; might more seamless video messaging be a next step? “Depends on what users want and how the industry evolves,” said Arora, “but we’re definitely going to improve various ways of messaging.”
