Entri Terbaru Blog Najib Jawab Tentang Tuduhan Tun Mahathir Dan Kritikan GST

Sebelum ini, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak telah menjawab 13 tuduhan dan dakwaan terhadapnya di blog. Kini, Najib bertindak menjawab dua lagi isu yang dikemukakan kepadanya.

1. Kritikan terhadap GST

(A) Saya faham bahawa beberapa kebimbangan disuarakan mengenai GST yang diperkenalkan. Bagaimanapun, sebagai perdana menteri, adalah tanggungjawab saya untuk membuat keputusan yang betul bagi seluruh rakyat Malaysia, walaupun ia mungkin kelihatan sukar ketika ini.(B) Kini, hanya seorang dalam setiap 10 orang rakyat Malaysia membayar cukai pendapatan dan oleh itu, adalah penting bagi kami meluaskan asas percukaian demi kebaikan ekonomi untuk jangka panjang.(C) Lagi pun, adalah penting untuk dimaklumkan bahawa 23 peratus daripada hasil kerajaan ketika ini datangnya daripada minyak dan gas.Seperti yang dapat kita saksikan daripada kejatuhan teruk harga minyak global baru-baru ini, Malaysia tidak mampu mengekalkan pertumbuhan dan pembangunannya berdasarkan aliran hasil itu semata-mata.Inilah sebabnya kami mengumumkan satu pembaharuan terhadap sistem percukaian, dengan Cukai Barang dan Perkhidmatan menggantikan Cukai Jualan dan Perkhidmatan.(D) Pengenalan GST akan membantu kita dalam membina ekonomi yang lebih kukuh, lebih lestari dan telus: Ia akan mengurangkan defisit kita, membantu kita melabur untuk masa depan kita dan menolong memacu ke hadapan pembangunan negara kita.(E) Malangnya, daripada berusaha untuk memahami rasional dari segi ekonomi dan manfaat jangka panjang yang akan dibawanya kepada rakyat, sesetengah ahli politik sebaliknya menyerang pengenalan GST, dengan menggambarkannya sebagai suatu langkah luar biasa dan tidak perlu bagi sebuah negara seperti Malaysia.(F) Sebenarnya, GST bukanlah suatu fenomena baharu. Lebih 160 negara sudah melaksanakannya dan di ASEAN, dalam kalangan jiran-jiran kita, Malaysia adalah negara kelapan yang memperkenalkan cukai ini.Di samping itu, kadar enam peratus yang dikenakan di Malaysia sebenarnya adalah antara yang paling rendah di dunia. Secara perbandingan, Filipina, Kemboja, Vietnam, Laos dan Indonesia semuanya mengenakan kadar GST sebanyak 10 peratus.(G) Namun demikian, saya dapati, sesetengah peniaga yang tidak bertanggungjawab, kecil dan besar, dengan licik cuba mengambil kesempatan daripada pengenalan GST untuk menaikkan harga lebih daripada kadar enam peratus. Ini tidak boleh diterima sama sekali.(H) Saya sudah mengarahkan jabatan berkenaan supaya meningkatkan langkah penguatkuasaan bagi memastikan sebarang kenaikan yang dikenakan pekedai dan pemilik perniagaan mestilah sejajar dengan kadar GST sebanyak enam peratus dan sebarang perbuatan menyalahgunakan sistem ini, yang memberi kesan negatif kepada pengguna, perlulah dihentikan.

2. Tuduhan Tun Mahathir

Image via news.mylaunchpad.com.my

(A) Saya menerima kritikan dengan fikiran terbuka dan akan terus menangani kebimbangan serta maklum balas yang tidak berasas. Kita juga mestilah sentiasa menghormati orang tua-tua kita yang telah banyak berjasa kepada Malaysia.(B) Kita juga mestilah sentiasa menghormati orang tua-tua kita yang telah banyak berjasa kepada Malaysia.Namun demikian, saya tahu ramai yang percaya bahawa kini sudah tiba masanya mereka membiarkan generasi terkemudian untuk mentadbir negara ini dan ini termasuk mengatasi sendiri masalah serta cabaran yang ada.(C) Malaysia adalah negara demokrasi. Saya dipilih oleh UMNO, dan oleh rakyat negara ini untuk memimpin mereka. Jadi, saya mendapat mandat daripada mereka dan saya bertanggungjawab kepada parti serta rakyat, bukan kepada mana-mana individu.Pada pilihan raya umum dan pemilihan parti akan datang, anggota parti dan rakyat boleh menggunakan hak demokarsi mereka melalui peti undi.(D) Di samping itu, banyak kritikan Tun adalah tidak adil atau mengelirukan:(i) Beliau menentang pelaksanaan GST, walaupun semua ahli ekonomi berwibawa percaya bahawa meluaskan asas ekonomi kita merupakan perkara yang betul untuk dilakukan. Hasilnya akan digunakan untuk kebajikan rakyat juga. Sebenarnya, idea ini pertama kali disuarakan semasa pentadbiran beliau.(ii) Tun mengulangi khabar angin jahat pembangkang tentang isteri dan keluarga saya. Sebagai contoh, ketika berucap di Ipoh baru-baru ini, beliau menyebut tentang kenyataan rekaan yang dijaja pembangkang melalui penggunaan sebuah artikel Utusan (Malaysia) yang dipinda.Beliau juga mengulangi tuduhan jahat yang dimulakan pembangkang semasa pilihan raya umum lepas kononnya isteri saya memiliki cincin berharga RM24 juta.Itu adalah suatu pembohongan dan syarikat yang memiliki cincin itu menjelaskan secara terperinci ketika itu bahawa cincin seperti itu tidak pernah dibeli oleh (Datin Seri) Rosmah (Mansor). Adalah dikesali apabila seseorang yang berkedudukan seperti Tun tergamak menyampaikan fitnah seperti itu kepada rakyat.(iii) Beliau juga mengulangi perbuatan pembangkang yang menimbulkan isu berkaitan pembelian sebuah jet gantian oleh kerajaan dengan mendakwa bahawa Yang di-Pertuan Agong tidak menggunakan jet itu, dan menggelarkan saya sebagai pembohong.Ini juga tidak benar - malah, baginda merupakan penumpang VIP pertama yang menggunakan jet yang baru diterima itu untuk penerbangan ke Langkawi, dan baginda akan terus menggunakannya.(iv) Tun menjadikan cabaran kewangan yang dihadapi 1MDB sebagai alasan untuk menyerang saya.Memang benar, 1MDB kini berdepan dengan cabaran, tetapi bukanlah hingga ke tahap seperti yang dituduh itu. Hakikatnya, sesetengah tuduhan yang dibuat itu tidak mempunyai asas, sebagai contoh dakwaan Tun bahawa saya bertanggungjawab bagi kerugian sebanyak RM42 bilion yang terkandung dalam lembaran imbangan 1MDB.Nampaknya, ini merupakan suatu perbuatan yang sengaja memutarbelitkan fakta kerana 1MDB tidak mengalami kerugian sebanyak itu. Ini adalah jumlah hutangnya; hutang yang jauh lebih kurang daripada aset syarikat itu yang bernilai RM51 bilion, seperti yang diaudit dan disahkan oleh Deloitte.Kebanyakan syarikat besar di seluruh dunia mempunyai kadar hutang yang tinggi, jadi ini bukanlah suatu perkara luar biasa.Beliau juga mendakwa saya tidak menjawab isu-isu yang menyelubungi 1MDB, tetapi saya telah pergi lebih jauh daripada itu - dan mengarahkan Ketua Audit Negara melakukan audit terhadap 1MDB, yang hasilnya akan dibentangkan kepada Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Wang Negara (PAC) yang bersifat dwipartisan.(v) Tun sering mendakwa beliau melakukan sesuatu itu kerana itulah apa yang diberitahu oleh rakyat kepada beliau apabila mereka datang berjumpa beliau. Tetapi, beliau perlulah selidik dahulu sama ada tuduhan seperti itu mempunyai bukti dan kebenaran sebelum menyuarakannya. Beliau tentu sedar bahawa kebanyakan tuduhan yang dibuat itu adalah mengenai perkara yang berlaku di bawah pentadbiran beliau dahulu.Dan, selalunya, jawapan Tun ialah: "Mana buktinya?" Beliau patut melakukan ujian serupa terhadap apa yang beliau dengar itu.(vi) Walaupun begitu banyak yang telah dicapai dalam tempoh enam tahun pertama pentadbiran saya, tetapi semua kemajuan yang dicapai negara kita dan BN (Barisan Nasional) tidak diendahkan kerana lebih suka kepada tuduhan tidak berasas dan pembohongan yang dimulakan oleh pembangkang.Kebanyakan perkara yang dikatakan oleh Tun tidak mempunyai objektiviti dan tidak betul sama sekali.Soalannya ialah - apakah yang menggerakkan Tun memilih saat ini untuk mengulangi tuduhan jahat yang direka kumpulan pembangkang yang sebelum ini beliau sendiri kecam sebagai pembohong itu?(vii) Soalannya ialah - apakah yang menggerakkan Tun memilih saat ini untuk mengulangi tuduhan jahat yang direka kumpulan pembangkang yang sebelum ini beliau sendiri kecam sebagai pembohong itu?Saya berbuat demikian kerana ketika itu, dan malah, hingga kini pun, saya percaya bahawa perpaduan parti merupakan prasyarat bagi apa yang ingin kita capai untuk negara ini. Majoriti besar anggota UMNO masih mengakui bahawa kesetiaan sebenar bererti bekerjasama untuk membina parti demi kebaikan rakyat.Adalah sesuatu yang tidak betul sekiranya Tun dan mana-mana juga anggota parti bertindak melemahkan kepimpinan parti hari ini semata-mata kerana keinginan peribadi mereka tidak dipenuhi. Kepentingan rakyat dan parti adalah jauh lebih penting daripada mana-mana individu tertentu.(viii) Saya dipilih secara demokratik oleh parti dan rakyat, dan oleh kerana saya diberi mandat, maka saya akan sempurnakan penggal saya sebagai presiden parti dan perdana menteri.Keutamaan saya ialah untuk memastikan kita mencapai Wawasan 2020 serta transformasi ekonomi, kerajaan dan politik untuk manfaat semua rakyat Malaysia.

High-End Supermarket Chain From UK To Expand Overseas For The First Time In Malaysia

Booths, a chain of high-end supermarkets from the north of England, has chosen to set up its first international outpost in Malaysia instead of expanding within the UK

Image via Liverpool Echo

The Telegraph UK reported that the upmarket grocery chain has opted to expand outside of the UK instead of setting up shop in Southern England.

The upmarket grocery chain, which currently has 28 retail stores in Northern England, will be offering 40 of its best-selling products across 19 shops in Malaysia

Image via Ethical Consumer

Dubbed the "Waitrose of the North", Booths is said to be one of Prince Charles' favourite retailers.  According to The Telegraph, the UK retailer's introduction to Malaysia is the result of an agreement between the family-owned retailer with Hong Kong-listed retailer Dairy Farm, who operates Cold Storage, Giant Hypermarkets, and Guardian in Malaysia.

Founded in 1847 as a tea shop in Blackpool, Booths soon grew into becoming the first supermarket chain in the area. Unlike major supermarkets like Tesco, its grocery stores are positioned to compete based on quality instead of just price.

Image via Retail Week

It all began when 19-year-old tea dealer Edwin Henry Booth opened a tea shop called The China House in Blackpool in June 1847. He started selling wines and spirits in 1863, eventually incorporating the business as a private limited company in 1896. The company has remained in the hands of the Booth family and staff who have been invited to become shareholders, with current chairman Edwin J. Booth being the fifth generation. According to its website, Booths prides itself on "the quality of their food and drink". The retail chain offers a wide range of locally-sourced fresh produce such as fish, poultry, fruits, and vegetables as well as cheeses, breads and pastries, and deli meats.

Its stores in the UK also offer a premium selection of wine and spirits as well as beer and ciders

Image via By the Glass

At the time of writing, Booths has yet to reveal when and where it will officially set up shop in Malaysia

In the meantime, Japan has arrived in Malaysia in the form of FamilyMart and Isetan's premium selection of imported goods:

It's FINALLY here. :')

Transport Minister Confirms MAVCOM Chief Earns RM85,000 Per Month

RM85,000.
That's how much the executive chairman of the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) earns a month, as revealed by the Transport Ministry.

MAVCOM executive chairman executive chairman is General (Rtd) Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad.
Image via New Straits Times (NST)

The revelation comes after a viral social media post alleged that the MAVCOM chief’s monthly salary is RM80,000, Malaysiakini reported. The current executive chairman is General (Rtd) Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad.

According to Transport Ministry Anthony Loke, the MAVCOM executive chairman’s salary increased by 8% from RM78,300 in the two years since the aviation governing body was established in 2016

Image via New Straits Times  (NST)

"That’s more than the prime minister’s basic salary of RM20,000 plus a month," the Seremban MP said as quoted by Free Malaysia Today (FMT). MAVCOM has been self-funding its operations after receiving an initial grant of RM90 million.

Loke revealed that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has agreed to review the salaries of all chairpersons from statutory bodies, commissions, and government-linked companies

Image via ExpatGo

On a related, Loke said the government has no plans of shutting down Mavcom."Mavcom will stay for the time being. We have no plans to abolish Mavcom," the minister said.

MAVCOM was previously involved in a tussle with AirAsia chairman Tony Fernandes:

The Ex-CEO Of Maybank Is Now An Uber Driver

An Uber driver in Malaysia, depending on the number of hours he drives in a month, can make up to anything between RM3K to RM8

However, that's not the reason why the ex-CEO of Maybank, which is one of the largest banks in Southeast Asia, was spotted driving an Uber on 17 June by Firdaus Fadzil.

"Uber my way to office by probably one of the most successful corporate & economic maestros with his new Perdana. 5 star rating for YB Senator Dato Sri!"
Image via Firdaus Fadzil

Abdul Wahid Omar prior to 6 June 2016 was serving as a Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of the nation's economy

The former Minister, who had helmed some of Malaysia's largest public-listed companies as well as having spearheaded successful turnarounds of conglomerates, is now a registered driver for Uber, ferrying passengers in what is reportedly his first public appearance since his term as senator ended earlier this month.

On his first day itself, Abdul Wahid picked up 8 passengers

He said it was something he “had always wanted to do” but had refrained from, as he was a minister, and the government had yet to decide on Uber’s status.Wahid said he had a “3-in1” objective to it.Apart from wanting to experience what it was like, he also wanted to promote the newly-launched Proton Perdana. More importantly however, he wanted to raise funds for charity. “All proceeds will go towards a charity to be identified,” he said.

The former Minister went out to drive again on Saturday

The former minister’s venture into ride-sharing did not come without hurdles, though. Uber imposes a strict policy where the car used for the service could not be older than eight years old.His personal car was 10 years old. However, when Proton, upon launching their new fourth generation Perdana, was on the lookout for someone to promote their new model, the stars seemed to align perfectly.It was a match made in heaven. Using a loaned brand new Perdana, Wahid took to the streets of Putrajaya. If passenger ratings were any indication, Wahid must be a natural when it comes to giving his all in any job he does.

Already people's favourite, this move by the former minister will only help increase Uber's trustworthiness among people more:

A 19-Year-Old Boy Is The First Hacker To Be Arrested For Exploiting The Heartbleed Bug

A 19-Year-Old Has Become The First Person Arrested For Theft Of Information Related To The Heartbleed Bug

A Canadian cyber crime unit has arrested and charged a 19-year-old Ontario man for allegedly hacking into Canada's tax agency using the Heartbleed Internet security bug.

The Suspect From London, Ontario Was Accused Of Hacking Into The Canadian Revenue Agency's Website Last Friday By The Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Image via financialpost.com

RCMP officers say they arrested Stephen Arthuro Solis-Reyes at his Ontario home on Tuesday, seizing computer equipment and charging him with one count of unauthorized use of a computer and one count of mischief in relation to data, the RCMP said in a statement.

        washingtonpost.com

The RCMP allege Solis-Reyes exploited the Heartbleed bug — a vulnerability in the commonly used OpenSSL Internet security technology — to hack into the CRA’s Website and extract private taxpayer information. Solis-Reyes is scheduled to appear in court in Ottawa on July 17.

“The RCMP treated this breach of security as a high priority case and mobilized the necessary resources to resolve the matter as quickly as possible,” RCMP assistant commissioner Gilles Michaud said in a statement on Wednesday.

        arstechnica.com

Solis-Reyes Is A Computer Science Student At The Canada's Western University

Solis-Reyes’ lawyer, Faisal Joseph of Toronto’s Lerners LLP, told Global News that his client is a “straight-A” second year engineering student at Western University in London. Mr. Solis-Reyes’ father, Roberto Solis-Oba, is a professor of computer science at Western University.

        mashable.com

“They know he is starting to write exams on Thursday. They know this is a national story. They threatened to go public with this to humiliate and embarrass him. They know this kid has an A average and they know he does well in school,” Mr. Joseph told the London Free Press.

        financialpost.com

“I just think it is totally inappropriate to try to destroy a kid’s life before he even has an opportunity to speak to a lawyer and get legal advice. And now they’re going to make a national spectacle out of him.” Mr. Joseph told Global News that his client’s father was an “emotional wreck” after hearing the news of the charges

The CRA First Learned Of The Security Breach On 11 April, But Didn't Inform The Public Until Monday

Authorities discovered earlier this week that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) site was hacked into over a six-hour period and the Heartbleed vulnerability was exploited to nab roughly 900 social insurance numbers and possibly other information from Canadian taxpayers.

        bbc.com

"The CRA worked around the clock to implement a 'patch' for the bug, vigorously test all systems to ensure they were safe and secure, and re-launch our online services," said CRA commissioner Andrew Treusch in a statement. "The CRA is one of many organizations that was vulnerable to Heartbleed, despite our robust controls."

Food Imported From China To Undergo Strict Checks But There Will Be No Ban

In the thick of the Wuhan coronavirus chaos, Malaysia has decided not to stop any import of food products from China

In a report by The Malaysian Insight, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub explained that the virus does not have anything to do with food."The virus is by human transmission and does not involve foodstuff," he was quoted as saying by The Malaysian Insight yesterday, 28 January.

Nevertheless, strict checks will still be conducted on imported food products from China at all entry points nationwide

According to Bernama, the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry has instructed the Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services Department (MAQIS) to carry out the inspections as a precautionary measure. Salahuddin has also assured that Malaysia did not import any foodstuff from Wuhan, the city in which the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) occurred."While there were no reports on the spread of the virus through food (consumption) like meat, we are taking measures to conduct random checks on agriculture produce imported from China at our entry points," he said, as quoted by New Straits Times.

Additionally, Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali agreed that it was not necessary for Malaysia to temporarily halt imports from China, particularly Wuhan

Azmin assured that the coronavirus outbreak has yet to show any implications on Malaysia's economy. However, the nation's growth would be affected should the virus continue to spread."As what happened with the other outbreaks previously, if (the contagion) continues, it would definitely have an impact on the nation's economy," Azmin told Bernama."However, I do not want to make any speculation because this is a serious matter that needs to be monitored by the related agencies and ministry. We will take the information and advice from them on the next move we should take," he added.

Stories Of Service And Sacrifice: 12 Photos Of Local Mountain Guides Going All The Way

In this photograph dated 5 June 2015, a mountain guide is seen helping his colleague with his gear as their group prepares to climb Mt Kinabalu to rescue those trapped there from the earthquake

Image via The Star Online

The death toll from Friday's quake has reached 11 so far, with local mountain guides, who spend their days either bringing people or cargo up the mountain, being instrumental in bringing back the injured, the weak and the deceased through chaotic conditions

Seen here is an amazing photo of guide Rizuan bringing down an injured climber, on his back, through treacherous terrain last night

He has been hailed as an unsung hero by people on social media.

The photo of mountain guide Rizuan Kauhinin, posted on Sabah Park’s Facebook page, has garnered over 9,000 Likes and 890 shares after three hours.Rizuan Kauhinin was later also photographed as one of six people carrying a stretcher with a Singaporean boy who had sustained a shoulder injury.

Robbi Sapinggi, a 30-year-old mountain guide from Kampung Kiau, succumbed to head injuries in the aftermath of the earthquake

Robbi was hit by falling rocks at Mt Kinabalu when he was accompanying one of the Amazing Borneo climber. Despite being injured, Robbi's only thought was for the welfare of his guest, urging him to continue ahead to climb down the mountain to safety. He bravely chose to remain alone and wait for help rather than to put the guest's life at further risk.Unfortunately, Robbi was unable to make it down the mountain in time to receive proper medical attention and he died due to loss of blood, Amazing Borneo posted on its Facebook page.

Sabahan Mia Meara said on Facebook that the mountain guides went above and beyond their duties. "It’s not an easy task and sometimes a thankless job: we salute and appreciate all your efforts as some of you are currently still ascending/descending the mountain.""These are the real heroes, our mountain guides. They bring down the injured on their backs. Sophisticated helicopters that cost millions are rendered useless in these conditions," said Facebook user Banie Lasimbang.

Robbi has been a dedicated member of the Mt Kinabalu team for the past two years and always brought good experiences to climbers. As a tribute to this unsung hero, who gave up his life while trying to save someone else's, Coalition Duchenne uploaded a video on its YouTube channel, remembering Robbi's compassion:

As the earth beneath Mt Kinabalu shook yesterday, a group of 30 mountain guides geared up to execute a rescue mission of stranded climbers up there. Most of them are locals, mainly Dusuns of Ranau.

And they came back with injured climbers

The mountain guides are risking their lives in order to continue the rescue mission. This is one of the trails they have to go through.

While these mountain guides have climbed Mt Kinabalu countless times before, it's still a risky mission. However, these local mountain guides have been trained to deal with the mountain terrains.

Shaken and in a state of shock, a mountain guide, who had just led his group down to the safety of Timpohon Gate, one of the two main starting points for any climb to the peak, shared his story:

"I heard a woman screaming for help, I could not do anything. The earth was shaking. I had to get my group down fast because rocks were rolling down everywhere.Boulders, some as big as a car, were crashing down along with rocks. We ran down. I really don’t know what happened to the woman. She might be buried under rocks."

Veteran guide Freddie Akau, who returned to the base at about 11pm last night with a Korean couple, was responsible for guiding them up the mountain and was only worried about their safety

“I wasn’t really afraid for myself because I’m used to conditions up there. But our concern was making sure the climbers were safe and did not freak out.We were told that rescue helicopters would come to get us but people were getting angry and frustrated the longer we were up there. There are now cracks and fallen rocks along the trail, making most of it too dangerous to use, so we have to find alternative routes back down before darkness fell,” he said.

Being a mountain guide is at times a thankless job, one which puts the lives of these guides at a greater risk. We at SAYS take this opportunity to salute all these unsung heroes of Friday's quake.


Shah Alam City Council Staff Submits RM1,300 Overtime Claim For Photocopying Tasks

Councillors of the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) were shocked when the mayor revealed that a staff  member had submitted an overtime claim for tasks including photocopying

Shah Alam mayor Datuk Ahmad Zaharin Mohd Saad.
Image via USM

According to The Star Online, the MBSA chief spoke about it during a council board meeting yesterday, 25 October.The claim worth RM1,300 was for five hours of overtime chores, including photocopying, on a Sunday.

Ahmad Zaharin said the council turned down the claim following an internal investigation on the matter

Image via Michael Egan Associates

"I take these things very seriously, and I believe everyone should do the same because this involves the Rakyat’s money," he said as quoted by the English daily.Ahmad Zaharin added that day-to-day operations should be completed within the overtime hours, and not at the "whim-and-fancy" of staff members.The council had also come to an agreement that such requests would not be entertained without the approval from department heads.

The council will be taking stern action, including lodging of police reports, for similar cases in the future

Ahmad Zaharin told China Press that some staff members would come into work on an overtime basis, but they would use the hours to play computer games and surf the net. It was revealed that some 200 claims out of 500 for the month of September have also been held back for further scrutiny.

What do you think the council can do to curb these bogus claims? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

[WATCH] Hilarious CNY Video "Celebrates" Double Parkers And The Many 'Babis' Of Malaysia

It's the Year of the Pig, y'all... and what better way to celebrate the upcoming new year than giving a special shoutout to the people who are the very definition of babi? :p

Image via Graph Studio

In a parody of Budweiser's Real Men of Genius series of advertisements from the '90s, local production company Graph Studio puts a creative spin on the Year of the Pig with their newly-released Chinese New Year video. The video, which features actor Iedil Putra as well as comedians Phoon Chi Ho and Prakash Daniel, starts off as a celebration of "you"... only to later be revealed that it's actually about the babis we meet on a daily basis.

You'd probably recognise these types of people from your unfortunate encounters with them, like the yong sui driver who double parks without leaving a number...

Image via Graph Studio

... The gross dude who leaves a sh*tty /surprise/ behind after taking a huge, smelly dump...

Image via Graph Studio

... And of course, the sleazy BMW owner who's too lazy to lift a finger to flick his indicator on

Image via Graph Studio

Call us immature, but we can't help but giggle at the bits of cheeky innuendo. :p

Image via Graph Studio

Funny as it is, there's a positive message tacked at the end of the video to inspire babis everywhere to be better people this CNY

Image via Graph Studio

You can watch the video here:

[GRAPH STUDIO CNY2019] Year Of YouThis time each year, people celebrate the meaning of Chinese New Year. But for us, we want to celebrate a different kind of people that truly bring out the real meaning of this new year.

Menerusi laman Facebook milik Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, beliau menyatakan kes di Selangor telah melepasi paras kritikal dan sangat membimbangkan."Ia mengambil kira magnitud perubahan dan menunjukkan peningkatan risiko wabak yang lebih besar sekiranya langkah-langkah pencegahan kesihatan awam tidak diambil," katanya.

"Ia masih merisaukan kerana ia melibatkan bilangan kes-kes baru harian yang tinggi. Nilai Rt mungkin meningkat jika kita tidak mengambil langkah-langkah intervensi kesihatan awam yang optima,Menurutnya lagi, walaupun kes aktif telah melebihi 1,000, nilai kebolehjangkitan di Sabah kini semakin stabil dengan kadar 1.26.

Sebab itu penting untuk kita sentiasa patuh SOP serta langkah-langkah penjagaan yang ditetapkan oleh kerajaan Malaysia

Selain itu, beliau turut berkongsi kadar kebolehjangkitan di Kedah yang semakin menurun dengan hanya mencatatkan dua kes dalam tempoh empat hari yang lepas."Ini menggambarkan pematuhan kepada prosedur operasi standard (SOP) yang berkesan," katanya.

"Disebabkan Tom Yam, Nasi Lemak Dapat Nama" - Vitty Lodge Anggap Isu Belum Selesai

Selepas videonya viral dan dikecam ramai di media sosial, akhirnya remaja lelaki yang membuat onar di Osaka, Jepun, Ramadhan Sinclair tampil dengan permohonan maaf

Dia menerusi laman Facebook miliknya, membuat permohonan maaf terhadap semua rakyat Malaysia terutamanya Qaiyum (lelaki yang berbaju biru di dalam video) kerana telah bertindak kasar terhadapnya. Ramadhan dan dua sahabatnya akan bertanggungjawab terhadap semua kerosakan yang berlaku dan akan cuba membayar ganti kepada pemilik rumah tumpangan terbabit.Bagaimanapun, dia tetap menafikan bahawa bukan dirinya yang membuang najis di dalam bilik mandi di Vitti Lodge & Family Apartment tersebut.

Image via Ramadhan Sinclair/Facebook

Kerosakan tersebut telah menyebabkan kerugian bernilai hampir RM5,000 dan telah dibayar terlebih dahulu oleh Qaiyum yang juga merupakan rakyat Malaysia.

Sebelum ini, dalam satu kenyataan di Facebook, Vitti Lodge & Family Apartment memberitahu mereka mengambil keputusan untuk mengharamkan penduduk Malaysia menginap di situ ekoran insiden tersebut

Namun, kenyataan itu telah ditarik balik dan rakyat Malaysia telah dibenarkan semula untuk menginap di sana selepas mengambil kira beberapa aspek.

Image via Vitty Lodge & Family Apartment/Facebook

Selain Ramadhan, rakannya Ku Hidayat (lelaki yang menumbuk dinding) turut membuat permohonan secara terbuka. Dia juga menerangkan apa sebenarnya berlaku selain mengaku salah dalam video tersebut.Menurutnya tindakan beliau didorong oleh emosi kerana dia pada ketika itu runsing memikirkan cara untuk pulang ke Malaysia kerana ketiadaan wang selepas terlepas kapal terbang.

Permohonan Maaf secara terbuka dgn rela hati Oleh Ku Hidayat.. beliau juga telah melunaskan bayaran ganti rugi (bahagian yg beliau perlu bayar) kpd qaiyum..

Kami terima permohonan Maaf beliau dgn hati yg terbuka.. dan Harapan kami agar ia menjadi pengajaran kpd semua.. supaya kejadian seumpama ini tidak berlaku d tempat lain ..

Kami berharap dgn video permohonan Maaf ini.. jangan lh Ada yg mengecam beliau lg...

Tonton Video sampai hbis ya

Sekian..Posted by Vitti Lodge & Family Apartment on Saturday, 19 August 2017

"Bila saya masuk kat dapur, saya tengok Ramadhan dan Qaiyum sedang bergaduh. Saya sendiri tidak tahu kenapa. Saya cuba tegur mereka untuk tidak bergaduh. "Mereka tidak mempedulikan saya. Saya gagal mengawal emosi sebab ada masalah dan tertekan kerana tidak cukup duit untuk balik ke Malaysia. Jadi, saya pun tertumbuk dinding tersebut," katanya dalam video tersebut.Mereka kemudiannya mengadu kepada pemilik tempat penginapan tersebut dan berbincang bagaimana untuk menggantikan kerosakan tersebut.Selepas berbincang mereka membuat keputusan untuk dahulukan duit Qaiyum dan berjanji akan melunaskan setelah tiba ke Malaysia. Ku Hidayat akhirnya dapat pulang ke Malaysia atas bantuan rakan-rakannya di Malaysia. Setelah tiba di tanah air, dia terkejut mendapati video tersebut telah viral.

Bagaimanapun, laporan mStar pagi ini memberitahu bahawa pihak Vitty Lodge & Family masih menganggap isu itu belum selesai

Pengurus rumah tumpangan itu, Muhammad Soffi Roslan, 30, berkata, pihaknya masih menunggu remaja bernama Ramadhan Sukrikhan itu untuk tampil membuat permohonan maaf melalui video, bukan sekadar memuat naik kenyataan menerusi Facebook."Selagi tidak membuat permohonan maaf melalui video dan ganti rugi belum dibayar, kami anggap perkara ini belum selesai."Memang dia ada menghantar paparan skrin permohonan maaf yang dibuat di Facebook kepada saya menerusi aplikasi Whatsapp, namun siapa sahaja boleh menulis status tersebut."Hanya video sahaja boleh membuktikan bahawa dia sudah meminta maaf terhadap pihak pengurusan dan benar-benar kesal dengan perbuatannya," katanya ketika dihubungi mStar Online hari ini.

" Kami belum menerima sebarang video permohonan Maaf secara terbuka drp Ramadhan dan Belum juga menerima bayaran ganti rugi yg sepatutnya di bayar kpd qaiyum (baju biru).. P/s: dh buat salah tu, mengaku, bayar ganti rugi dan beri Kami video permohonan Maaf secara terbuka.. agar lg Cepat perkara nie di selesaikan...dan 1 lg sila reply what's app sy dgn segera ya.. "Disebabkan tomyam, Nasi lemak yg dpt nama.." hmmTerima kasih kpd Ku Hidayat kerana memberi kerjasama dan berani hantar Video permohonan Maaf secara terbuka dan mengaku akan kesalahan, membayar ganti rugi dgn penuh (bahagian yg beliau perlu bayar) dan telah pn belajar sesuatu drp peristiwa tersebut...

Wrongfully Fired Security Guard Pushes Motorcycle For 6 Hours From KL To Penang

Recently, a fired security guard was forced to push his motorcycle for six hours from Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Penang after it ran out of fuel

According to a post on Facebook group Info Berita Semasa, the KL-based security guard, who remained anonymous, was was found pushing his bike under the hot sun on the side of the highway in Tapah, Perak.The Good Samaritan who spotted the tired security guard was Facebook user Iwan Putra, who was on his way from KL to Seberang Perai, Penang on Sunday, 5 January.

Initially, Iwan was hesitant to help, fearing that something bad might happen as he was alone in the car

However, Iwan decided to offer the security guard a ride as he knew exactly what it felt like to push your motorcycle back home with nobody stopping to extend their help.Although the security guard repeatedly denied Iwan's offer at first, he later relented and allowed Iwan to give him a lift to Penang.

Image via Info Berita Semasa/Facebook

Iwan explained that the security guard, who was orphaned as a child, was on his way back to his hometown in Nibong Tebal, Penang after being fired from his job

Unfortunately, his motorcycle ran out of gas near Tanjung Malim, Perak, forcing him to push his bike for the past six hours as he had no money left to refill his tank.Speaking to mStar, Iwan said that the security guard was only given a RM5 compensation after not being paid for two months."He used the RM5 to fill up his bike at Bukit Jalil in KL and it lasted only until Tanjung Malim, which is where he started to push his bike," Iwan added, as quoted by mStar.

Although accommodation, food, and beverages were provided, the security guard did not receive any form of salary for the past two months

"When he asked if he could send his pay back home to his village instead of giving it to him, his boss got angry and fired him, saying that he never wanted to see his face again," Iwan wrote in the Facebook post.

Upon reaching Penang, Iwan dropped the security guard off at a petrol station

"I gave him RM10. I wanted to give more but I did not have much money myself, so i just gave what I could," Iwan wrote."Previously, I felt that God did not give me much. But I am thankful for this experience and I feel grateful for what I have now," he added.

This Vitamin-Infused Body Lotion Contains Prebiotics To Maintain Healthy Skin

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Vaseline.

Here's a friendly reminder regarding your skincare routine — you gotta keep your skin moisturised on a daily basis!

And we're not just talking about your face, y'all. Applying lotion all over your body right after a shower is essential in keeping moisture locked in throughout the day. If not, you might experience flaky and dry skin, which can be irritating to deal with. :/

It's also a good practice to apply lotion that is infused with ingredients that can help you maintain healthy and bright skin, such as vitamins and prebiotics

Image via Vecteezy

Vitamins do play an important role in skincare. For instance, niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that helps rebuild healthy skin cells and brighten your skin. And it's no secret that vitamin C also works great for the skin, as it has a hydrating effect.As for prebiotics, it helps to optimise and maintain a healthy skin microbiome. Consisting of billions of microorganisms that inhabit our skin, the microbiome strengthens the skin barrier and protects against pathogens and infections.  That's why you should keep a lookout for lotions that include these nutrients, so you can see positive results in the long run.

ICYMI, Vaseline has added a brand new lotion to their Super Vitamin Serum lineup, and it's infused with prebiotics! :D

Image via SAYS

Available in both 110ml and 360ml, the Vaseline Super Vitamin Serum Peach is the first of the range to contain prebiotics, which feed the healthy bacteria known as probiotics in your body for a healthy microbiome skin barrier.Like the other Super Vitamin Serum lotions, it has a lightweight and non-sticky texture. Since it absorbs quickly into the skin, you won't have to worry about that sticky, greasy residue that often is left behind by lotions, woohoo!

Achieving bright, even-toned, and hydrated skin is possible with the Vaseline Super Vitamin  Serum Peach, as it is also formulated with both vitamin B3 and C

Image via SAYS

The Super Vitamin formula contains 10X* vitamin B3 for bright, strong, and hydrated skin**. Plus, it is made from 100% natural peach extract, which means it is packed with plenty of vitamin C to keep your skin looking bouncy and hydrated.  Not to mention, being formulated with peach extract also means that this body lotion gives off a refreshing, fruity scent that you'll love, as it has a subtle sweet smell that isn't too strong.

*Vitamin B3 content versus Vaseline Healthy Bright SPF24 PA++ Lotion. **Based on clinical tests with regular use. Results vary depending on individual skin type. Cosmetics cannot change the natural skin colour.

Wanna try this peach-scented hand and body lotion for yourself? Get the Vaseline Super Vitamin Serum Peach via Watson's online store now!
