Aiman discovered that Ganesh had been working since he was 15 after he dropped out of school to support his family

He spent seven years working in McDonald's before becoming a GrabFood delivery rider."Due to rising competition, he couldn't [get] as many orders. That's when he decided to self employ himself," Aiman wrote."Ganesh pays himself daily. Whatever amount he earns for the day, he would then bank in RM100 to his savings account and put some in his family's pot."

However, he has been cheated several times by customers who did not pay him

Aiman decided to hire Ganesh as a delivery rider around Klang Valley for his company Natura, so that he could receive extra pay while conducting his other delivery services.After trying this out a couple of times, the CEO wrote that he was very impressed by the young man's code of conduct."[Ganesh] was pinpoint with his timing. Never once late and when we cross-checked with our customers, they said similar things too. Well-spoken, polite, and on time," he wrote.

That morning, Aiman offered Ganesh a job managing inventory and orders so that he can receive a fixed pay while continuing his delivery services on the side

Thankful for this new job, Ganesh has since been contacted by many companies to potentially work with them as a partner on a long-term basis."I'm very grateful to Aiman for helping me out, he did a lot for me," said Ganesh, according to Malay Mail."I'm also thankful for all the people who have called in and supported me since the post was made, it will help me a great deal towards providing for my family."

On Friday, 11 June, a police team was left shocked after finding a wedding being held in Butterworth. Social events such as weddings are banned amidst the total lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The team was conducting a routine standard operating procedures (SOPs) compliance operation in the North Seberang Prai district when they came across the ceremony.District police chief ACP Noorzainy Mohd Noor said that the incident has left him baffled."I am irked as there are still people out there who continue to blatantly flout the SOPs put in place during the lockdown period by hosting a wedding do. This is a selfish act without taking into consideration the current situation, which is causing the efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 to fail," he said.According to Noorzainy, the police team was shocked by the attitude of the people who refused to observe the SOPs and went on to organise such an event with authorisation.He warned police will not compromise in taking action against those who disobey.

This Tycoon Will Give RM430mil To Any Man Who Can Woo And Marry His Lesbian Daughter

Gigi Chao's Public Letter To "Dear Daddy" To Accept Her For Who She Is - A Lesbian

Gigi Chao's Public Letter To Her Dad To Accept Her For Who He Is - A Lesbian

The lesbian daughter of a Hong Kong tycoon, who offered more than $US100 million ($114.29 million) to find her a male suitor, has issued a heartfelt open letter urging him to accept her sexuality.

        smh.com.au

"Dear Daddy, I thought the timing was right for us to have a candid conversation," began her letter, printed in two Hong Kong newspapers including the South China Morning Post.
"You know I’ve had male lovers in the past…But it was always short-lived, as I quickly lost patience, and felt an indescribable discomfort in their presence."

        nbcnews.com

"I know it’s difficult for you to understand how I could feel romantically attracted to a woman; I suppose I can’t really explain it either. It just happens, peacefully and gently, and after so many years, we still love each other very much."

        nbcnews.com

In regards to her partner, Ms Chao, 34, added that "it would mean the world to me if you could just not be so terrified of her, and treat her like a normal, dignified human being." "I'm sorry to mislead you to think I was only in a lesbian relationship because there was a shortage of good, suitable men in Hong Kong.
"There are plenty of good men, they are just not for me."

        nzherald.co.nz

She added: “I will always forgive you for thinking the way you do, because I know you think you are acting in my best interests.”

        irishexaminer.com

‘‘My regret is that you have no idea how happy I am with my life, and there are aspects of my life that you don’t share.’’

HONG Kong mogul Cecil Chao has doubled the marriage bounty to HK$1bil (RM430mil) to any man who can successfully win the heart of his lesbian daughter Gigi Chao, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.

        thestar.com.my

The father insisted that Gigi is still single although she had admitted to “marrying” her female partner Sean Eav in 2012 in Paris.

        thestar.com.my

In An Exclusive Interview With The Edge, Cecil Says He Wish His Daughter Will Marry And Have Children That Can Inherit His Success. WATCH The Interview Here:

      Unsupported video platform

77-Year-Old Cecil Chao First Made The Marriage Bounty Offer In September 2012. He Offered A HK$500 Million (RM215mil) Reward For Any Man Who Can Win The Heart Of His Lesbian Daughter.

One of Hong Kong's wealthiest men has placed a "marriage bounty" on his lesbian daughter's head, offering nearly HK$500mil (RM215mil) to the man who successfully woos her. He told the South China Morning Post the prize money was "an inducement to attract someone who has the talent but not the capital to start his own business".

        businessinsider.com

In addition to the "dowry," Chao has also pledged to help the successful suitor launch his own business. He called the prize money "an inducement to attract someone who has the talent, but not the capital, to start his own business," according to CTV News.

        huffingtonpost.com

His Offer Attracted More Than 20,000 Suitors, Though His 33-Year-Old Daughter Was Uninterested In Any Of Those Men

In an interview with a business newspaper early this month, Cecil said that although his initial offer of HK$500mil (RM215mil) in 2012 attracted more than 20,000 suitors, his daughter remained unmoved.

        thestar.com.my

After receiving nearly two thousand emails in a week, and hundreds of letters and phone calls from suitors all over the world, Ms Chao also asked her father to withdraw the offer, publicly. Without success, it seems.

In Fact, Gigi Chao Was Already Married To Her Girlfriend Of 7-Years, Sean Eav. They Tied The Knot In France In April 2012.

Gigi Chao, a businesswoman and graduate from the University of Manchester, is said to have married her female partner of seven years, Sean Eav, in a ceremony in France earlier this year.

Mr Chao, who has never married himself, told the BBC his daughter was still single and needed a "good husband". "I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted.

        bbc.co.uk

"Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work."
His public hunt for a husband notwithstanding, Mr Chao insisted he would not force his daughter to marry a man against her will.

Ms Chao said she found her father's plan entertaining and would not worry about it until an actual suitor had been found.

        bbc.co.uk

Back in October 2012, Gigi Chao told the Daily Telegraph: “At first I was entertained by it, and then that entertainment turned into the realisation and conviction that I am a really lucky girl to have such a loving daddy, because it’s really sweet of him to do something like this. It’s not that he can’t accept me. It’s that he can’t accept how society would view me and the status that it would incur.”

        wordpress.com

Gigi is one of his three children by three different women. She studied architecture in England like her father, and is an executive director of his luxury property development company Cheuk Nang, which has projects in Hong Kong, China, Macau and Malaysia. Ms Chao also runs a model agency and a PR company.

Whether or not Chao, who owns Cheuk Nang (Holdings) Ltd., is truly qualified to give marriage advice to anyone (gay or straight) is questionable given his apparent playboy reputation. The 76-year-old tycoon, who has never been married, is said to have once bragged about sleeping with 10,000 women.

        huffingtonpost.com

The 76-year-old Mr Chao has his own unique approach to romance, once claiming to have slept with 10,000 women.
“I never counted, but it’s possible,” he told the FT on Saturday. “Every day you can date one, two, three or four women. I have many good friends. We share our life, not just limiting to one person. I like to live a free and happy life.”

        telegraph.co.uk

Nonetheless, Cecil And Gigi Have An Understanding Father-Daughter Relationship

The 33-year-old, who graduated from the University of Manchester and now works as a director at her father's company.

        huffingtonpost.com

She did not agree with him, but said she understood why he was doing it. Civil partnerships are not recognised in Hong Kong.

        wordpress.com

"My father took a hands-off approach in parenting. I see him as a friend more than a father," she told HK Magazine. "My parents never pressure me with high expectations."

        businessinsider.com

Ironically, he also said that he would not interfere in the personal life of his daughter.
“I only hope for her to have a good marriage and children as well as inherit my business,” Cecil said. He believed that Gigi’s thinking would change in due time as she is only 33 now.
Cecil revealed that Gigi had told him before that she had yet to find a suitable male partner.

Couple In Shock After Spotting 2 Men Trying To Break Into Their Cheras Home On 12th Floor

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

At past midnight yesterday, 30 March, a woman and her husband were left shell-shocked after spotting two men on their 12th floor balcony

The incident happened at around 12.43am on Thursday, when the woman, Phoebe Shafinaz, and her husband, Sofian Ramli, were chilling in the living room of their unit in a condominium in Cheras, Selangor."I was scrolling my phone when my husband suddenly screamed," Phoebe wrote in her Instagram post.When she looked up, she saw a man about 6ft-tall on her balcony. The man tried to open the sliding door when the couple saw another man climbing down to the balcony from the floor above.According to Phoebe, she has always been paranoid about her safety and that of her loved ones. And the shocking incident has now proven that "it's not all that bad to be paranoid".

The couple kept screaming at the two men, with the husband running to the sliding door to make sure the door was tightly locked

Phoebe, too, ran after Sofian, as she feared for his safety."I ran towards my husband and pulled him away from the door to make sure he was safe then called the police and security, and sent an SOS message in my condo WhatsApp group," she wrote.She noticed the man on the balcony was shushing them to keep quiet as he tried to open the door.

Fortunately for the couple, the men gave up and climbed down

According to Phoebe, the two men continued climbing down to the levels below.Phoebe hasn't lodged a police report as the condominium's security has taken over the case. One of the security guards told her that one of the men was caught but the other escaped.However, what's been bothering Phoebe is that she suspects the two men are most probably tenants above her unit as she recalls seeing them in the lift previously."And they pushed the 13th floor [button]. I feel like those I saw yesterday were the same people I saw in the lift," she told this SAYS writer, adding that the condominium's security measures are in place.

The couple, however, couldn't be at peace after the incident

"We're a bit traumatised but we have learnt a lot from this experience," Phoebe wrote, adding that they couldn't sleep last night after the incident and so they booked a hotel room to rest before work.She shared that several things keep lingering on her mind, including the possibility of what could have happened to her husband and her if the men had managed to break into their home."What would happen if we were already asleep when they were there?"

According to Phoebe, her worst fear has now come true

"Nothing is impossible these days. Anything could happen. I've been imagining seeing someone on my balcony since I moved in. And [now] it happened," she shared in her post.Speaking to this SAYS writer, Phoebe noted that she has been hearing stories about people climbing up and down the balconies, which is something that has fuelled her paranoia."We have been officially living here for only a year after we got married," Phoebe told this SAYS writer.She bought the unit about a decade earlier.

Still, Phoebe finds hope in the realisation that her husband would do anything to keep her safe, including risking his own life

"The sweetest thing that I learned out of this experience is that my husband would do ANYTHING to keep me safe," she wrote, adding, "He literally risked his safety just to lock the door."She also reminded others to make sure their doors and windows are locked."Such a simple gesture but could be the reason you're still alive."

M'sian City Life #7: I Was An Outcast, Teased And Bullied Because Of My Hearing Problems

Mohd Uzair Bin Mohd Rom was misdiagnosed as having learning disabilities when he was four years old.
It was only when he was about six years old, the doctors realised what young Uzair was really suffering from: severe hearing loss.

"Growing up was difficult for me as I yearned for a sense of belonging. I was often frustrated and disgruntled of being misunderstood," Uzair said.

"For almost 12 years, I was teased, bullied, and outcasted by my classmates and the people around me. I almost gave up, but with the support from my parents, especially my mom, I managed to push forward to become who I am today."

Uzair with his family.

"I remember what my mom used to say, “Just ignore them. One day, you will be on top. God has a better plan for you”.""Ever since I was a child, my mom has put so much effort on me, and the same goes for my teachers in school. My mom actually quit her job so that she could focus on teaching me at home to ensure that I catch up and be on par with others who were in my age group." "She has never given up on me."

It certainly wasn't easy growing up, but the passionate young man pulled through thanks to the unwavering support from his loved ones and the power of technology. At the age of 12, Uzair had his first cochlear implant which drastically improved his hearing abilities.

"At the age of 9, my parents enrolled me in the Cochlear Implant program at Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. I attended speech therapy for a few years but I was not responding well as the hearing aid was inadequate for my profound hearing loss." "I had my cochlear implant when I was almost 12 years old using the Sprint model and my performance improved every year. It is way better than hearing aid. At the age of 16, my device was upgraded. It has indeed changed my life a lot since I first received my Cochlear Implant; I can hear better, and my communication and social skills are improving, and so is my self-confidence."

The 24-year-old from Selayang, is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN).
Uzair recalls the feeling of being overwhelmed by fear and shyness to a point that he almost cried when he first set foot in UNITEN all those years ago in September 2013.

"When I started my journey in UNITEN, I was afraid the same things that happened to me when I was younger would happen again." "So many thoughts were going through my mind. Though I was afraid, I made a promise to myself that I will change myself for the better."

"I was afraid that they may think I behave like an idiot, or I may not hear or misunderstand what they say. But my friends refused to stop helping and kept pushing me to be more outgoing and confident."

Uzair acted as his friends' 'tour guide' at Broga Hill, Semenyih, Selangor.

"Initially, I did not join my friends whenever they invited me to picnics, hang out sessions, or any other activities because I was too shy. I used to say, “It's okay guys, I've got things to do” and I gave so many excuses because I was afraid of losing them." "But they were persistent and said things like “Ala Uzair! Jom lah, tak syoklah tak ada kau!" (Come on, Uzair. Let's go. It isn't fun without you!)."  "It was then that I decided to go out with them and everything went well, to my own surprise!"

Uzair, who is sometimes referred to as "the guy who wears earphones all the time", is the happiest when he is with his friends although he has to concentrate twice as hard than normal people when communicating with others

"I still have difficulties listening sometimes like when talking in noisy places or when a friend whispers.""My cochlear implant is on my right ear. Wherever I go, I will ask my friends to stand on my right side and focus on listening." "Sometimes I look at their mouth so that I could lip-read them but most of the time, I try to focus at what they are saying without looking at their lips. I'm still practicing till today."

Uzair aspires to work with a global biotechnology company, Cochlear to pursue his dream of creating a better world for all hearing-impaired people, especially for the young ones

Uzair used to fail his examinations but he worked extremely hard for his SPM paper and got 3A's. Since then, he continued to excel academically despite his hearing difficulties, getting into the Dean's list twice when he was doing his Diploma of Electronics Engineering (Communications) in Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam. He is currently in his third year for his degree at UNITEN and is representing his university for Taekwondo competitions. He always enjoys playing the drum in his free time.Uzair said, "There is an English saying that has been my driving force — “There is no pleasure without pain”. My advice to everyone is to never give up and don’t stop chasing your dreams."

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro Doesn't Have Any Volume Buttons. Here's Why That's A Good Thing

When the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro first saw its global launch in Germany last September, the entire world was focused on what the Chinese smartphone giant had in store

You can check out the keynote highlights below:

×

Apart from the outstanding photo capabilities, along with the new and improved EMUI 10 operating system, the Mate 30 series' 'Horizon Display' was what drew the most attention

Image via HUAWEI

Containing 1174 x 2400 pixels-per-inch, the 6.53-inch OLED display is definitely a sight for sore eyes. With truly vivid colour representation, you can really immerse yourself in whatever content you're viewing. Details are super crisp, and even if you pixel-peep, you'll find it really difficult to notice any imperfections. The biggest differentiating factor between the Mate 30 Pro and the Mate 20 Pro that came before it is the entirely new 'Horizon Display'. At first glance, it literally looks like the screen is falling off both edges of the phone, which in terms of aesthetics is brilliant.

But wait, where the volume buttons at?

Image via Android PIT

That's a valid question, since you can't actually see any physical volume controls. The power button is physical, but when it comes to any form of volume control, there's nothing to be found. That's because the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro uses the steep edges of the 'Horizon Display' as a digital placeholder for the volume buttons. To make them appear, all you need to do is double tap either side of the screen. Doing this will bring up a digital volume slider, and all you need to do is slide your thumb up or down. It's out of the way when you don't need it, and magically appears when you do. Super intuitive, super practical.

Image via John Lim | Mashable Southeast Asia

Though the volume rocker is digital, it never fails to deploy when you need it

Image via Adam Lobo | YouTube

We've tried this out a tonne of times. It even came to the point where we thought the phone would just crash, but it didn't. Not even once! It's beautiful and can handle repetitive taps. Though we wouldn't recommend anyone to repeatedly tap the digital volume slider just for fun, we can definitely vouch for its versatility. When you slide the volume up or down, you'll also be greeted with some haptic feedback in the form of micro-vibrations. Super satisfying to say the least. It feels like you're actually rotating a physical volume dial.

The touch-sensitive side panels aren't just for adjusting your volume. They've got other uses too, like acting as gaming triggers, much like a physical console controller

Image via Huawei Central

The traditional smartphone gaming experience limits us to two primary on-screen toggles - one for movement, the other for triggering a specific action. With the HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro's 'Horizon Display' you can utilise the edges of the screen for additional triggers. This completely transforms the smartphone gaming experience into something more life-like. By life-like, we're referring to traditional console gaming, of course. ;)

Image via TechNave

The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro has one more nifty party trick up its sleeve with its 'Horizon Display'

Image via Huawei Mobile MY | YouTube

As smartphone screens get bigger, the more difficult they are to grip when trying to take a photo. It's hard to take a decent photo without accidentally losing grip and possibly causing irreversible damage to your expensive smartphone. Just imagine how one photo can cost you your phone. That SUCKS. The HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro has fixed this epidemic though. That's 'cause you can move the shutter button wherever you want. All you need to do is drag it to your preferred screen location, and you're all set!

Despite The Poor Economy, Malaysians Are Shopping Online More Than Ever

Malaysians are shopping online more than ever, with 38.2 million online transactions recorded by iPay88, the country's leading provider of online payment services

Image via Barracuda

In 2016, iPay88 recorded 38.2 million online transactions via its payment gateway systems, which is a substantial increase of 161 percent (from 14.6 million in 2015).

Executive Director of iPay88, Lim Kok Hing, said despite the perceived sluggish overall economy, there is solid evidence that Malaysians are buying online more than ever

Image via iPay88

“Over the review period, we would have thought that consumers are tightening their belts due to a squeeze in their disposable income in view of the current economic "winter". However, iPay88’s payment system shows otherwise as eCommerce and online purchases went up by 210 percent over the same comparable period," Lim said in a press release.

He also said this is related to the convenience of shopping online as well as the ability to get better deals

Image via Myanmar Business Today

“Online shoppers do not just shop when they are desktop-bound but using mobile phone is just as easy. Apart from that, another factor that would encourage online shopping when the government starts to implement the abolishment of tariffs imposed on items being shipped into the country that are priced over RM500," he said.

As for the first quarter of 2017, Lim said online purchases and payments are showing no signs of slowing down

“It is indeed good to know that overall consumer confidence is not decreasing. Based on our findings, the spending appetite of the online shoppers remains positive and that issues like data security and fraud have become negligible," Lim added.In the company's Malaysian’s Online Buying Patterns report, some of the most popular online purchases are apparel and footwear, accessories and jewellery, electronics and sports equipment.

According to iPay88’s data, online shopping spikes during weekdays from 11am till 3pm and 7pm till 11pm

Meanwhile, popular days for online shopping are the later part of the week namely Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.However, this trend decreases over the weekend - possibly due to the lifestyle fact that Malaysians tend to go offline on Saturday and Sunday.

Najib Explains Why He Lost His Cool And Walked Out Of The Al Jazeera's Interview

Najib Razak, who lost his cool during an interview with Al Jazeera, took to his Facebook page today to explain why he walked out of it

The former prime minister was being quizzed on a slew of issues related to the 1MDB scandal that involved questions about the RM2.6billion donation, his relationship with Jho Low, the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu among others.However, Najib — currently facing more than 40 corruption charges in an ongoing investigation into the 1MDB scandal that spans at least six countries — lost his cool and walked out of the interview with Al Jazeera for its 101 East programme.

Good stuff. Now live on @AJEnglish. pic.twitter.com/Gi885JzxvU— Muhd Shamil (@mshamil10) October 27, 2018

When host Mary Ann Jolley, whom Najib had deported in 2015 while she was doing a story on the Altantuya murder, asked Najib about her deportation, Najib said that she was "a nuisance" to him

×

Najib later took to his Facebook page to explain why he lost his cool, saying the interview happened at the same time his wife Rosmah Mansor, his son and their step-son were being questioned by the police's Anti-Money Laundering Crime Investigation Team

"The interviewer who was previously responsible for a program about the Altantuya murder had persisted on the topic - a topic which I had denied involvement many times over the past decade. That topic, together with the concern about my family did get me worked-up and lost my cool for a moment," Najib wrote on his Facebook page.Saying that will not hesitate to say yes should Al-Jazeera want to interview him again, Najib added that he offers his apology "if I had lost my cool".

State Govt Takes Action Against Guest Who Was Topless Under Jacket At Kedah Fashion Week

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

The organisers of Kedah Fashion Week 2022 (KFW22) came under fire at the start of the week after photos of a scantily clad woman at their event went viral online

The photos, which were circulated across social media, showed the woman wearing a tailored green suit without anything under her jacket with mismatching patterns.It is said the woman herself had uploaded the photos onto her social media account before they were reposted to other platforms.The photos drew much attention online, with many netizens deeming the outfit as inappropriate, especially in a public setting such as Aman Central Mall, Alor Setar, which hosted the event from 5 to 7 August.

Image via Twitter

The controversy behind the viral photos even caught the attention of Kedah Health and Local Government committee chairman, Datuk Dr Mohd Hayati Othman

"I received complaints about the organisers of KFW22 for featuring a model in revealing clothing," he said in a Facebook post on Tuesday, 9 August."We will summon the organisers, ask for an explanation, and take the appropriate action," he added.He also noted that the organisers did not obtain a permit or approval from the local authorities to hold the event.

Image via Twitter

After a discussion with the relevant party, it was found that the individual in the photos was not a model for KFW22 as it was initially believed

In a media statement posted yesterday, 10 August, Mohd Hayati said she was just a guest who had acted on her own. She posed for photos after the fashion show ended and shared them on social media. The statement clarified that, as she acted on her own, the state government will take the appropriate action against the individual based on the existing laws and regulations."The state government also intends to study and streamline minor regulations related to entertainment and shows so that they are more in line with the culture and etiquette of the state of Kedah," the statement read.

Woman Caught Hiding Stepson In Car Boot Just Before '2 Person Per Car' Rule Gets Lifted

A woman was fined RM1,000 after police found her hiding her teenage stepson in the car boot at an interdistrict roadblock in Penang yesterday evening, 18 February

According to New Straits Times, the 35-year-old woman was stopped at KM2.4 of the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKE) around 5pm.She was driving with another 14-year-old boy in the front passenger seat when the police stopped the car for a routine check.

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS

The woman told the police that she was headed to Tesco Extra in Seberang Jaya to buy some clothes

However, Central Seberang Perai district police chief ACP Shafee Abd Samad said the officer noticed that the Proton Waja was suspiciously low for only two passengers in the car."The police asked the woman to move her vehicle on the shoulder of the road for further inspection because her car was abnormally lowered," said the police chief, as quoted by Harian Metro.

Sure enough, they found another 14-year-old boy, who turned out to be her stepson, hiding in the boot of the car

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS (Facebook)

The police also found out that the boy seated in front was his friend.Despite so, Shafee said the woman was only issued a RM1,000 compound for failing to produce an interdistrict movement permit.The police then ordered her to turn back to Butterworth with the two boys.

Remember to #JustStayAtHome. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

The government has since lifted the two persons per car passenger limit in all MCO areas:

Memperlihatkan post berkenaan, ramai netizen memberi komen dan memuji pasangan pengantin tersebut yang kononnya hanya bersederhana di hari perkahwinan mereka. Ini antaranya:

Bagaimanapun, nampaknya pengantin perempuan agak kurang senang dengan kisah mereka yang disebarkan itu dan mengatakan banyak fakta silap yang disebarkan page tersebut

Image via Isma Amira/Facebook

Hakikatnya, perkahwinan pasangan pengantin yang bernama Abi Nubli dan Isma Amira ini amat meriah meskipun tidak sampai ke tahap mewah.Apa yang melucukan ialah pakaian pengantin yang dikatakan simple tersebut adalah daripada butik kepunyaan pengantin berkenaan. Jadi tidak hairanlah jikalau pakaian itu dijahit oleh pengantin sebab dia sendiri 'tauke' butik terbabit. Malah pelamin yang dikatakan tiada itu pun sebenarnya memang ada dan sangat cantik.

Malah, gambar-gambar mereka yang kelihatan berada di dalam bas tersebut sebenarnya merupakan sesi fotografi buat perkahwinan mereka semata-mata.

Tetapi selepas membuat 'penyiasatan' kami temui post pengantin berkenaan yang kami rasa mungkin menjadi penyebab Balingviral tersalah faham

Image via Isma Amira/Facebook

Dan semasa kami scroll komen, kami tertarik dengan komen gadis ini. Sangat setuju!

Image via Isma Amira/Facebook

Bagi kami, terpulang kepada setiap individu untuk mengadakan majlis perkahwinan lagu mana sekalipun, yang penting dengan cara betul dan tidak membebankan

Image via Isma Amira/Facebook

Apa-apa pun, nilai positif yang diambil daripada gambar-gambar fotografi pasangan ini adalah patut dijadikan ikutan bakal pengantin di luar sana. Kita pun sedia maklum, agama Islam juga menggalakkan perkahwinan yang sederhana dan mudah. Lakukan kerana Allah, insha Allah berkat.

This Is A Big Deal: Malaysia Will Now Have A Say In The UN Security Council

Malaysia is set to represent the Asia Pacific region in the UN Security Council after clinching a non-permanent seat in the council, securing 187 out of 192 votes

This will be Malaysia's fourth term in the 15-member council, having held a UNSC non-permanent seat for the first time in 1965 followed by subsequent elections in 1989/1990 and 1999/2000.

The voting took place at the United Nations General Assembly hall to fill five vacancies among the Security Council’s non-permanent membership. A total of 193 representatives of UN member countries were eligible to cast their votes to elect the five new members of the council.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

The election is a gratifying result following months of intense lobbying by Wisma Putra to secure one of the five arising vacancies out of 10 non-permanent seats

The five seats available for election in 2014, distributed regionally, are: one seat for the African Group (currently held by Rwanda); one seat for Asia-Pacific Group (currently held by the Republic of Korea); one seat for the Group of Latin American and Caribbean States, (currently held by Argentina); and two seats for the Western European and Others Group (currently held by Australia and Luxembourg).

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Why this is a big deal: The Security Council is the most powerful body in the UN and is primarily responsible for maintaining international peace and security. The council also has the power to impose sanctions on countries and individuals, refer suspects for war crimes prosecution, endorse peace accords and authorise the use of force.

The council's powers include the establishment of peacekeeping operations, the establishment of international sanctions, and the authorization of military action through Security Council resolutions; it is the only UN body with the authority to issue binding resolutions to member states.

Aside from Malaysia, four other countries have been elected to fill the vacant seats, namely Angola (Africa), Venezuela (Latin America and the Caribbean), as well as New Zealand and Spain (Western European and Others Group)

The five permanent Council members, which each wield the power of veto, are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Along with Lithuania, the non-permanent members that will remain on the Council until the end of 2015 are Chad, Chile, Jordan, and Nigeria.

PM Najib Razak described the win as "extremely meaningful" and attributes it to Malaysia's moderate stance and the international community's acceptance of the country's principle-based foreign policies

Image via The Star Online

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said he believed the international community reacted positively to Malaysia's policies, its responsible approach to issues and principle-based measures. "They know we absolutely reject extremism which I made very clear in my speech at the United Nations last month," he told reporters in Milan, Italy on Friday.

Najib has also outlined Malaysia's five priorities as a UNSC council member:

To advance moderation globally; advocate mediation as an approach to conflict resolution; promote UN peacekeeping operations; facilitate the peace-building process in strife-torn countries and pursue deliberations on the UNSC's comprehensive reformation.

The Tahfiz Fire That Killed 23 Was Started By 7 Young Teens Seeking Revenge

The fire at the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah Tahfiz centre in KL that claimed the lives of 21 children and two teachers was the deadliest in the country in the last 27 years. It was also an act of revenge perpetrated by seven young boys.

The seven boys, aged between 11 and 18, were arrested from several locations in the Dato' Keramat area between 6.30pm Friday and 2.30am Saturday, 16 September

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Amar Singh said that the boys were suspected of intentionally starting the fire at the Tahfiz centre that killed 23 people.They were arrested after being identified in CCTV footage obtained from a neighbouring building which captured the seven boys near the school the night of the fire.

Police have seized several items from the suspects

. Five shirts. Five pants. Four helmets. Three mobile phones. Two Lagenda 115Z motorcycles. One Suzuki RU 120 LU motorcycle

According to Amar Singh, their motive was to seek revenge over a teasing incident that took place a few days before between the suspects and some of the tahfiz students

While Amar Singh declined to speculate on the motive behind the seven suspects' senseless act, he revealed that the suspects had an "intention to burn", attributing it to a prior dispute between the suspects and tahfiz school students."The incident's motive is believed to have arisen from a misunderstanding after teasing between the suspects and a group of residents at the tahfiz school's hostel that started few days before the incident," he was quoted as saying by The Malay Mail Online.

Six of the seven suspects tested positive for ganja abuse. Police believe they were high when they started the fire.

The suspects, several of whom are school dropouts, used cooking gas cylinders and a hydrocarbon accelerant to commit the offence.While their initial plan was to break into the school to steal the students' handphones, they changed their plan after they gathered at an eatery beside a premise near the Tahfiz school early Thursday morning, and decided to burn the school as revenge.According to a report in NST Online, two of them went to buy petrol.At about 4.30am, the suspects gathered at a field behind the Tahfiz school. Then three of them sneaked inside the school, broke into the kitchen from where they stole two cooking gas cylinders and took the cylinders to the top floor of the hostel.They poked the cylinders' heads to release the gas, poured petrol on the staircase starting from the top floor before igniting the petrol using a lighter, NST Online reported.After they started the fire, the suspects fled the scene on their motorcycles.

"Their basic intent was to cause mischief by fire. But maybe because of their age and maybe because of their level of maturity, they did not know their actions would cause the final result," Amar Singh told the press conference

He, however, added that the suspects would not be excused and that the police "will proceed as normal and follow the rule of law” in their probe on the seven suspects.

The case has been classified as murder and mischief by fire

The offences under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder and Section 435 for mischief by fire are punishable by death a maximum 14-year jail and fine."We have secured a seven-day remand against the suspects," KL police chief Amar Singh said during a press conference late Saturday night, adding that two of the seven suspects also have a past criminal record for rioting and vehicle theft.During the press conference at the KL police headquarters, Amar Singh declared the case "solved with the arrests of these seven individuals"."This is a tragedy so I am happy we are able to solve it and can bring some peace to the families. It's a tragedy not only for the family but everybody in Malaysia," he added.

Malaysians, Go Register To Vote! The EC Is Even Giving Out Free Flights…Wait, What?

If you're a Malaysian but haven't registered to vote, Bersih 2.0 thinks you should do it soon — by 31 March 2017 to be exact

Image via Azhar Ramli/NST

Bersih deputy chairperson Shahrul Mohd Aman Saari explained that the Election Commission (EC) would start processing new registrations for the year starting this month.  The next election should be called on or before 24 August 2018, but if it is to be held in September 2017, then Malaysians must register by 31 March if they want to vote. "Each new registration will take up to six months to process and gazette." "March 31 will be the last day when Malaysians can register to vote if the 14th general election is to take place in September this year," he was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.

In an initiative to encourage Malaysians to register as voters, Bersih has launched the 'U Campaign'

Image via Free Malaysia Today

The voter registration campaign will include several activities at post offices and other events across Malaysia, and is expected to last for the entire month of March."Centering on the letter 'U' which stands for 'UNDI' (which can also double as 'you'), Bersih 2.0’s voter registration campaign places the power back in the hands of Malaysians, complementing BERSIH’s philosophy as a people’s movement," a statement from Bersih read. The electoral watchdog is on a mission to convert four million eligible Malaysians into voters by the upcoming general election.  According to Bersih chief Maria Chin Abdullah, there are 170,000 to 180,000 new voters who have not been registered every quarter.

On the other hand, the Electoral Commission (EC) is enticing Malaysians to register by giving out free flight tickets

Image via Jom Kita Dafter Undi

The EC, Kumpulan Media Karangkraf (KMK), and AirAsia Bhd, have joined forces to organise the 'Jom Kita Daftar Undi' campaign that will last for three months, beginning 3 March until 6 May 2017.Throughout this period of time, Malaysians are encouraged to register as a voter to stand a chance to be one of the winners of the 1,000 AirAsia tickets to various domestic and international destinations.

However, Bersih has slammed the EC for handing out freebies instead of implementing automatic voter registration

The group questioned the need to offer gifts to persuade people to register as voters, when in fact, it is EC's basic duty to ensure that the people are empowered to exercise their basic democratic rights.  "Instead of offering freebies, the EC should focus their resources on implementing automatic voter registration thus eradicating the need for voter registration drives completely.""Automatic voter registration will be electronically linked to the National Registration Department (NRD) and will eliminate the lack of addresses, duplicate entries, as well as remove deceased persons, and other dubious entries from the electoral roll," the statement read.

Do you think it's wrong to offer freebies to encourage Malaysians to participate in elections? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Don't wait anymore! Here's how you can register as a voter ASAP:

                SPR says you can still register after 30 September but don't delay till the last minute

The 14th General Elections may be held in March 2017!

This Engineer Couldn't Find A Wife So He Married His Own Robot Instead

In this day and age, when it's getting harder to find love, one artificial intelligence engineer in China got creative

After failing to find a wife, he got married to a robot he built himself.The South China Morning Post, via Qianjiang Evening News, reported that 31-year-old Zheng Jiajia created the "female" robot at the end of last year.Zheng named the robot Yingying. And apparently, it can identify not just Chinese characters and images but can even say a few simple words.He got married to his own creation in a traditional Chinese ceremony last week.

Image via SCMP

While their marriage isn't legal, Zheng's commitment is surely admirable. His mother and friends were by his side.

Image via TODAY Online

Zheng, who was previously working for Huawei, was reportedly "dating" his female robot for the last two months

He now plans to upgrade his "bride" to be able to walk and do household chores. Until then he has to carry the 30kg robot to move her, reported The Guardian.

Reactions to this unprecedented union have been mixed

"You won’t have her mother looking down on you, you don’t have the pressure to buy a home and you get to save money and energy," one user wrote on WeChat, while another asked, "He’ll slowly get old, his face will become wrinkled and his hair will grow white – but will he upgrade her to grow old, or just to be prettier?"

Yingying “waits” without complaint outside the wedding venue.

What do you think about this "marriage"?

Last year, a man in Las Vegas married his smartphone:

                You Probably Do Not Love Your Phone As Much As This Man

'WTF Wednesday:' He married his own smartphone!

According to a report in The Star Online, the incident happened near Persiaran Elmina, where the entire thing was caught on camera by two witnesses.The group of Indonesian men, who are said to live at a nearby oil palm estate, first killed the stray dog using a parang and piece of wood, they then threw him into a fire.

Caught on video: Stray dog brutally killed and eaten in Malaysia https://t.co/dZ9oF6mVCL— AsiaOne (@sphasiaone) August 31, 2018

While the video of the incident has since been taken down, Mukunnan Sugumaran, who is the founder of Malaysian Animal Welfare Association, is reported to have spoken to the witnesses

They said that there were about 20 men at the scene. However, as they began recording, some of them hid behind trees while others stayed behind to continue eating."The witnesses spoke to the men and were told that it was a norm for them to have two to three dogs per feast, or cats," Mukunnan was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

The incident has been reported to the authorities

Mukunnan along with the witnesses reported the incident to the Sungai Buloh District Police HQ and the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) on 28 August, but since consuming dogs and cats is not against the law in Malaysia, nothing can be done.However, Mukunnan has urged DVS to exempt cats and dogs as consumable animals, so that actions can be taken on those who kill them for their meat.

Meanwhile, it is suspected that the incident could be related to reports of stray dogs found with severed limbs early this month:

                Someone Has Been Killing Stray Dogs In Shah Alam By Poisoning Their Food

The incidents happened around the U16 area.
