Brazil Court Fines Apple RM89 Million Because Their New iPhones Come Without Chargers

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

Recently, the São Paulo state court in Brazil slapped Apple with a USD19 million fine (RM89 million) for continuing to sell iPhones without chargers

Image via Joao Tzanno/Unsplash

According to Reuters, the lawsuit was filed by the association of borrowers, consumers, and taxpayers whom argued that the company commits abusive practices by selling its flagship product without a charger, forcing consumers to make a separate purchase for a necessary product.

And this isn't the first time the tech conglomerate has had issues with the South American country

Back in September, Brazil fined Apple a separate USD2.5 million (RM11 million) for the same issue. They also barred the company from selling iPhone 12 and 13 models without chargers, Barron's reports.Moreover, they were also fined back in 2021 by the consumer protection agency Procon-SP, for removing the power adapter from the iPhone 12 lineup and newer production runs of older iPhones, citing it as a violation of the country's Consumer Defense Code.In addition to the most recent fine, Brazil wants Apple to include chargers in all iPhones if they still want to sell in the country, they have also been asked to provide chargers to all Brazilians who have purchased iPhones after 13 October 2020, as reported by Brazilian news site, Estadão.

Apple made the decision to stop including chargers since 2020 with the launch of its iPhone 12 lineup in an effort to reduce carbon footprint

Image via 9to5Mac

As of now, Apple has decided to not compile the order as the company moves forward to appeal the ruling made by the Brazilian court.

A few weeks ago, the European Parliament passed a law that requires all electronic devices in Europe to operate under one charging solution:

                Your Next iPhone May Come With A USB Type-C Charging Port, Thanks To This New EU Law

Bye bye, lightning.

As 2013 Comes To An End, Here's What Smartphone Users Like You Can Expect In 2014

According to Gartner's estimate, over one in every two mobiles sold worldwide in 2013 was a smartphone

In 2013 for the first time, more than one in every two mobile handsets sold was a smartphone, according to Gartner. Next year is expected to be a pivotal moment for smartphones, which will account for an even greater share of the mobile market.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Gartner, Inc. is an American information technology research and advisory firm headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, United States. It was known as Gartner Group, Inc until 2001.

        wikipedia.org

So what's in store for in 2014?

In 2014, manufacturers will present an unprecedented range of low-cost options designed to boost smartphone sales in developing markets, all the while continuing to innovate in the high-end smartphone sector.

        yahoo.com

The smartphone market can no longer be considered as a simple battleground between Samsung and Apple, or between Android and iOS.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Image via ubergizmo.com

Today, in an aim to attract new smartphone users and encourage current smartphone users to upgrade, manufacturers are expanding their offer in this category in new directions.

        thestar.com.my

As a result, in 2014, the smartphone market will represent a wider variety of devices than ever before, with smartphones priced for every budget.

        yahoo.com

1. An array of low-cost smartphones

At one end of the spectrum, manufacturers continue to develop innovative high-end devices priced upwards of $800, touting features such as HD resolution, flexible screens, high-speed processing, and camera performance.

        mysinchew.com

At the other, phone makers have introduced more basic smartphones, which still satisfy the everyday needs of the majority of users but are priced from around $150 to $400.

        themalaysianinsider.com

1. a) These cheaper devices are designed to be the vectors of the popularization of smartphones among lower-income consumers

Today, phone makers such as Archos, Wiko and Alcatel offer functional smartphones that are compatible with very high-speed networks and come at half the price of the high-end devices from Apple, Samsung or LG.

        yahoo.com

Not wanting to miss out on the action, a number of mobile operators have introduced own-brand low-cost smartphones to appeal to customers who are indifferent to the prestige and high-end features of more costly devices.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Image via themalaymailonline.com

Orange, for example, launched its Hiro and Yumo own-brand smartphones in several European markets last November.

        thestar.com.my

1. b) According to Mozilla, the popularity of smartphones will also grow when devices are equipped with more open and adaptable operating systems

The Firefox OS, an attractive option in developing markets, is beginning to make its way to consumers, primarily in devices under $150 manufactured by ZTE, Alcatel or Huawei.

2. Personalised devices

Since more and more people have smartphones, the image-conscious are increasingly looking for new ways to make their phone as unique as possible. Manufacturers have responded to this growing demand with solutions for customizing smartphones, a trend that is expected to be amplified in 2014.

Motorola already offers a wide variety of styles for its Moto X and G through interchangeable colored casings. Samsung and even Apple, with its iPhone 5c, have also taken small steps towards making their phones more customizable.

Kelantan Cat Visits Owner's Grave Every Day For 2 Years After He Passes Away

An orange cat in Kelantan has shown us Malaysian netizens what unconditional love truly is.
For over two years now, Nana the cat has visited his owner's grave every day after his death without fail.

Sharing the story on Facebook group Kelab Pencinta Kucing Malaysia, Hazlynn Nozi shared how her father's cat has stayed loyal to him even after his passing."It's been over two years since he passed. But from the first day until today, Nana has been visiting dad's grave every morning," she wrote.

Image via Kelab Pencinta Kucing Malaysia (Facebook)

According to Hazlynn, on the first day after her father passed, Nana was already the first to be at his grave, waiting for the rest of the family to arrive

Hazlynn told Malay Mail in an interview that Nana was quite affected by her father's passing and had lost some weight in the first few months due to poor appetite."He was better after three months and started eating normally but he would also linger around where dad spent his time - like on the swing, which was dad's favourite spot or even sit on his old car," she said.Nowadays though, Hazlynn observed that Nana has made a habit out of sitting next to or sleeping near her late father's grave every morning."The grave is behind the mosque, and the mosque is beside our house. Every time he comes back home to ask for food, his paws would be wet with morning dew from the grave."

The first day Hazlynn's father passed away.
Image via Kelab Pencinta Kucing Malaysia (Facebook)

Hazlynn shared that her father, who was a retired teacher, was always fond of cats and took good care of many of them.
However, it was six-year-old Nana that was her father's favourite.

Hazlynn explained that when her father was alive, he always fed Nana in the morning before he went to the mosque."Nana had a special bond with dad. He was extremely close to him," she said."Nana always followed dad to the mosque and waited for him to finish his prayers before he followed him back home.""There was a bond that this cat had with dad as compared to the other cats at home," she concluded.

Image via Kelab Pencinta Kucing Malaysia (Facebook)

Needless to say, Nana's story sent hundreds of netizens crying in the comments section of the Facebook post

Among them was a Facebook user who highlighted how sad Nana must have been."The first day of his owner passing, his face looks so sad," she commented with a cropped close up of Nana's expression.

Meanwhile, another netizen asked Hazlynn to take good care of Nana."Please take care of your late father's cat properly. There's a reason behind all this. Your orange cat is so loyal," she said.

South Korea’s Latest Internet Trend Is Dinner Porn And It's Not What You Think

Young people in South Korea have a new hobby: It's live-streaming themselves gorging on enormous, sumptuous dinner feasts.

Combine the elements of competitive food eating, voyeurism and online porn and you turn the banal act of eating into marathon live-streamed video that has become a growing trend out of South Korea.

        latimes.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

Toss in a small-boned, attractive woman with a bottomless pit of a stomach and the appetite of a football quarterback and you get “mok-bang”, the latest online fad to hit the web in South Korea, in which viewers tune in to regular people eating obscene amounts of food for hours.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Mok-bang" is a portmanteau of the Korean words for eating and broadcast, and young folks in South Korea are totally into it.

They broadcast their meals (from bunker-looking settings) to thousands of viewers a night. It's a really attractive online performance opportunity for people that eat food, wear clothes most of the time, and don't want to have sex on camera.

        nymag.com

Image via imgur.com

One of the most popular mok-bang broadcast jockeys is known as The Diva. By day, she works at a consulting agency. By night? She eats. A lot.

The Diva streams daily starting between 8pm and 9pm, with her broadcasts going on for hours. As with many mok-bang streams, it's a seemingly endless parade of delicious food, whether that's yummy Korean food, pizza, pasta, steak, you name it.

        kotaku.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

In one sitting, she’ll throw back 35 eggs, a box of crab legs, or five packs of instant noodles.
And when she’s really hungry, she’ll pack down 12 hamburger beef patties, 12 fried eggs, three servings of spicy kimchi stew, and a green salad – for a balanced meal.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In an article with The Kyunghyang Shinmun (via Sang), The Diva says she began live-streaming her meals because she felt bored and needed a hobby. That hobby, it seems, is consuming thousands of calories in one sitting!

        thestar.com.my

The Diva now spends the equivalent of about $3,000 a month on food. In the past, when she was eating more expensive and gourmet meals, her food bill was between $5,000 and $6,000. Gluttony is expensive.

        latimes.com

Since beginning her show, The Diva says she’s put on 9kg – minimal given the thousands of calories consumed every night. Her marathon eating sessions will begin at around 8pm and last for around two hours.

Since there were rumors that she was upchucking her meal—that her huge appetite was simply a stunt—she usually sticks around to chat on her stream for a couple hours after eating.

        latimes.com

This probably also helps with digestion. But this also means The Diva ends up streaming over four hours on a nightly basis to thousands of viewers.

        kotaku.com

Image via themalaysianinsider.com

Sometimes in an evening, The Diva will scarf down two medium pizzas. Other nights, it's thirty fried eggs and a box of crab legs or five packets of instant noodles. Then, there was the night she ate twelve beef patties, twelve fried eggs, three servings of spicy pork kimchi soup and a salad.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The Diva eats and after she finishes, she talks with her viewers, answering questions about her dinner and whatnot.

Sometimes a small white dog sits on her lap and receives scraps. Sometimes she dances in her chair. And in every video, there is a blue and white stuffed cat that sits awkwardly in a chair, watching the entire thing.

        kotaku.com

She is not naked. She wears sweaters, shirts, over-sized headbands and hats. and she doesn't make any gestures that might imply a sexual invitation.

        latimes.com

Image via trbimg.com

Basically, watching The Diva's broadcasts is a bit like going to dinner with someone—and bringing the entire internet. It's fascinating voyeurism and total food porn. Delicious.

        kotaku.com

And all this is streamed on a peer-to-peer online video network called Afreeca TV

According to Ultralab, what makes Afreeca TV different from, say, YouTube is that viewers give the Afreeca TV live-streamers, aka "Broadcast Jockeys," virtual currency called Star Balloons as a way to show thanks.

        kotaku.com

Image via tistory.com

The virtual currency is sold in denominations ranging from $1 to $50, and through them, broadcast jockeys can earn real-world money—up to thousands of dollars each broadcast. One popular broadcast jockey even earned $1,000 in Star Balloons from a single video!

        latimes.com

And thanks to Afreeca TV, mok-bang has made burgeoning internet celebrities out of some mok-bang streamers. As Korean site Dailian points out, the popularity of these eating shows might be due to people's desire not to eat alone.

        kotaku.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

That might have something to do with it, but their popularity might also be due to folks' love of food and chatting.P
And sometimes it can be funny watching people eat spicy or hot food!

Iqbal said the Muar Fire and Rescue Department received a stress call about the presence of a wild boar at a residence at about 10.47am on 1 May.The caller requested firefighters to chase the wild boar out.Iqbal, who also runs a YouTube channel, said the operation took the team half an hour to complete. Seven personnel were in the residence's front porch, while one was stationed outside the house to prevent the wild boar from escaping."We intended to catch the animal without injuring it by using tools such as ropes and catch poles," said the 27-year-old firefighter."In the end, the animal managed to escape to its original habitat without being caught or harmed. The animal seemed to know the place very well as it was able to run back to the exit."We found out that there is a hole in a fence, which the animal used to enter the residence. The operation was a success. We only wasted our effort playing catch."

Image via Iqbal HasnolTv/YouTube

He said the video was made to entertain Malaysians and that he did not mean to offend anyone

At the end of the video, Iqbal could be heard joking that his colleague, Jamrin, was disappointed that the wild boar managed to escape, or else it could become his dinner.He told SAYS that the team had four Muslims who were fasting, while the other four members were non-Muslims from Sabah and Sarawak.The video was shot from a camera worn on Iqbal's chest.

A search and rescue mission had been launched immediately after the crash yesterday, 11 September

Wee stated on Facebook yesterday, that he was informed by CAAM about the crash of a helicopter that happened earlier that day.

CAAM initiated a search and rescue (SAR) operation with the support of the Bidor police to determine the location of the helicopter as soon as the incident was reported.

Starbucks Barista Helps Write Long Apology For Customer To His Girlfriend On Delivery Bag

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

Having one of the toughest jobs in the world, service workers often deal with tough demands from their customers.
But one recent request by a customer has gone viral all over TikTok for the sweetest reason.

While the 10-second feature is rather unassuming at first glance, the video begins with the poster of the video, @themhz_, zooming in on an e-delivery order from an unidentified customer. Upon reading the message, the order in place was for a venti-sized Iced Signature Chocolate drink from Starbucks. Following the order itself was a lengthy message by the customer, who lamented over his girlfriend icing him out that day."Please help me. My girlfriend is ignoring me and I don't understand why. We didn't fight, nothing happened, just silence out of nowhere. It's probably my fault, but I don't understand what I did wrong," he wrote.

The message communicated by the customer via the e-delivery service.
Image via @themhz_ (TikTok)

The TikTok then cuts to a visual of the takeaway bag — with similar sentiments of what the orderer expressed to the barista having been written on it.Using a black marker pen, the message read, in translation, "Don't sulk, my life would be so sombre without you. When you are far, I will always miss you. If you have a heart, it would blossom." Being sure to include details, the barista also draws a sad face beside the message.

The complete message written on the takeaway bag.
Image via @themhz_ (TikTok)

The video has since garnered tonnes of attention, racking up over 700,000 views on TikTok, and 65,000 likes

A large amount of the comments gave the barista a pat on the back, going above and beyond his duties at Starbucks for a lovesick couple."He understood the assignment," said one comment, while another commenter asked the user who posted the video to continue the effort by reading the message aloud to the girl if he were to see her.Numerous people also called the barista a softy for making the effort to help the boyfriend out.

Comments by a few men added to the humour, with one man saying that 'bros' have each other's back, and this was probably one of those instances."This is so funny, thank goodness the barista was sporting enough to do it," wrote another.

Image via @themhz_ (TikTok)

A good share of women got in on the action too, joking around about themselves when they get moody."I don't get this when I'm moody — at best it's a little more attention [from my boyfriend]," said one girl. Another woman said that the barista probably understands what it's like to have a moody girlfriend, too."Suddenly, I'm moody," cheekily added one more responder.

Image via @themhz_ (TikTok)

Image via @themhz_ (TikTok)

The person who shared the video admitted to being the delivery rider who transported the Starbucks order to the girlfriend. He mentioned in a comment under the video that everything is back to normal for the couple."Sorry, I haven't had the chance to read the comments one by one. In continuation, the couple is okay now. Pray for us riders!" he concluded.

Once again, we at SAYS tip our hats to all service workers who go above and beyond their duty — in more ways than one!

Study Shows 75% Of M'sians Don't Have Good Oral Hygiene. Here Are 4 Easy Ways To Improve

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Sensodyne.

Did you know that maintaining good oral hygiene can also affect the overall health of your body?

Image via GIPHY

When it comes to oral health, many think it either has to do with having fresh breath or flashing a winning smile, which is more appearance-based. We tend to forget that our mouth is the ultimate gateway into our body, which means that bacteria from our mouth can easily travel to other parts of our body, putting us at risk of contracting diseases.This is probably why you often hear professionals urging you to brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and pay a visit to the dentist at least twice a year.

If you have not been practising flossing or brushing your teeth twice daily, you're not alone. It is estimated that 75% of Malaysians are unaware of the need for good oral health. Yikess! >.<

Due to negligence of good oral health habits, nine out of ten adults experience periodontal diseases and dental caries. In case you didn't know, periodontal diseases occur when your gums or the bones that hold your teeth together are weak, inflamed, and swollen looking. Whereas dental caries, also known as cavities, develop when bacteria in the mouth destroy the hard tissues of the teeth, making your teeth weak and more sensitive.According to World Health Organisation (WHO), in The Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, oral diseases affected close to 3.5 billion people around the world, with caries of permanent teeth being the most common condition. Woahhh! :O

Another shocking fact is that 7 out of 10 Malaysians suffer from tooth sensitivity, based on a study conducted by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Consumer Healthcare*. Of this, 32% have experienced sensitivity symptoms, such as discomfort when brushing their teeth, and when eating or drinking certain types of food or drinks, but they were unaware of the condition*. *GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).

Oral hygiene is not only brushing your teeth! Here are four other habits you can practice to avoid getting oral diseases:

1. Cut down on sugary and acidic food

We know, it's easier said than done. The main cause of cavities is due to these types of food. Sugar will convert into acid in the mouth, which wears down the enamel of your teeth and leads to cavities. The next time you choose to indulge in desserts, carbonated drinks, tea, or coffee, try not to go overboard with them. If you feel like you've consumed a high amount of sweet food, brush your teeth after 30 minutes of eating or drinking them, as brushing too soon will damage the enamel layer of your teeth.

2. Use the correct technique to brush your teeth

Do you remember how back in school, dental nurses would teach us how to properly brush our teeth by demonstrating with a set of ginormous plastic teeth and a huge toothbrush? If you were not paying attention back then, you should brush up on the correct method. You should move your toothbrush gently in circular motions so that all the plaque is removed. It should at least take two minutes to fully clean your top and bottom teeth.

3. Make sure to use toothpaste that contains fluoride

Fluoride is the main defence against tooth decay. Besides that, it also helps to fight germs by removing plaque and preventing cavities. However, too much fluoride can also risk your health, but the amount contained in toothpaste is generally safe if the person uses it as advised. It's always best to read the label of the packaging for the recommended amount of toothpaste to use or seek advice from your dentist.  When we eat sugary or acidic food and beverages, it demineralises our teeth, causing tooth sensitivity. But, because fluoride is a natural source of minerals, it can help strengthen and protect one's enamel, as well as relieve the pain that comes with having sensitive teeth.

4. Visit the dentist regularly

The recommended amount of time to visit the dentist in a year is twice, preferably once every six months. Doing so will allow your dentist to keep a close tab on your dental health and pick up on any abnormalities. However, if you notice anything out of the norm, such as a tingling or uncomfortable sensation when eating and drinking certain foods, it's best to immediately consult a dentist about it. Tooth sensitivity and other symptoms are best treated early on, before they develop into something more serious.

If you're looking for a toothpaste that can clean your teeth, protect it, and help relieve tooth sensitivity, then Sensodyne has got your back!

Plus, they also have other different variants that are targeted to what your teeth needs. You'll be sure to find your perfect match!

Gong Cha Singapore Releases Ketchup-Flavoured Boba In Collaboration With Heinz

From boba milk tea on pizzas to croissants, Taiwanese drink franchise Gong Cha may have just topped themselves with a brand new release

In collaboration with the Singaporean branch of American food processing company, Heinz, Gong Cha Singapore has just released their latest flavours of boba milk tea, and its rather unusual range has caused a stir among Southeast Asians.That's right, Gong Cha has released a Tomato BBT line, ketchup-flavoured bubble tea.

Announced on 28 September, there are two new flavours, and they're packaged in authentic Heinz-looking bottles

Reactions from the public have been rather mixed, with some Singaporeans finding the drink intriguing, while others won't go anywhere near it

A fair share of people were excited, having alluded to the bubble tea tasting nice, while others expressed their intention to try it soon.

Image via Facebook

However, a few people weren't impressed by the creation. "It's a hard pass for me," wrote one responder.

Image via Facebook

Image via @gongchasgofficial (Instagram)

One person even accused Gong Cha Singapore of releasing these ketchup-flavoured bubble tea as a PR move, just to snag attention from the press.

Image via @gongchasgofficial (Instagram)

Nevertheless, another person cheekily suggested they release a mustard-flavoured bubble tea to accompany this one in the future.

11 Reasons Why Penang Drivers Cannot Tahan Driving In KL

1. Everyone drives really, REALLY fast...

Image via AFP / The Malay Mail Online

Are KL drivers always running late or something?!

2. Some KL drivers can be really aggressive too. It's not that hard to give way at a bottleneck, y'know... we put signal already. :(

Image via Anyhow Hantam Blogspot

But if you're cutting queue, you don't deserve kindness on the road.

3. Beware the "tailgaters". You can be at or slightly over the speed limit, but there will always be a bull-headed speed demon who wants to go much, much faster.

Image via Alert Driving

How do you know when a tailgater is on, well, your tail? Look out for drivers who ride on your bumper and repeatedly flash their blinding headlights.

4. Going anywhere feels very far because of the loooong stretch of highways you have to drive on

Image via jai rul YouTube

5. Especially when you have to go through a few tolls to get to your destination

Image via Cyber Space and Time

In Penang, going through a toll means you're leaving the island to enter another world a.k.a. the mainland. See where we're coming from?

6. Navigating through the roads of KL gets confusing if you’re not familiar with the many, many lanes and exits… and road signs "disappear" when you need them!

Image via Mimi / Sleepless In KL

How do people drive around KL before the days of Waze and GPS?!

7. Missed an exit? Made a wrong turn? You'll just have to drive a few extra kilometres to get back on track then...

Image via ExpatGo

If you're lucky, there may be a U-turn some hundred metres ahead.

8. There is always some construction work going on along KL's roads, whether it's building a new LRT station, pipeworks, cutting tree branches etc.

Image via Bernama

It's usually not a problem... until they decide to do it during peak hours and/or block off the roads. The traffic jams that ensue is a no brainer, really.

9. Potholes. Big, GIANT potholes. Everywhere.

Image via Getty

10. Everything you've heard about parking problems in KL is true. Not only do drivers double-park, they triple-park and even plonk their cars in the middle of the road if they can get away with it.

Image via TallyPress

11. Last but not least, the most dreaded of all... you're very likely to get stuck in KL's infamous traffic jams

Image via Motor Trader

And unlike Penang, you won’t be able to escape the jam via a ‘lorong belakang’. :(

Penang drivers, what do you dislike most about driving in KL? Let us know in the comments below!


Did You Know: This Vintage Pressed Powder Is Also A Good Cleaning Agent

Growing up, you may have spotted this small, pretty vintage box lying around on your mother's (or grandmother's) dressing table

Image via shaguftay/WordPress

If you've never seen it before, this is a pressed powder, also known as 'Sam Fong Hoi Tong' powder, that was used by Asian women in the olden days

There are quite a few dupes around, but the original version was made by Hong Kong company, Sam Fong Cosmetic Co Ltd, which has been operating since 1933.

Here's an old advertisement of the powder.
Image via Singapore Vintage Makeup/WANDERSTYLER

Makeup brands were pretty limited back then. So this was apparently one of the options for women to achieve flawless, matte-looking skin.

It comes in two shades: pink and white.

Image via 姚永仁 (Facebook)

When you touch the compressed powder, there's a velvety feel to it, almost like soft chalk or bedak sejuk (cold talcum), a traditional face mask made of fermented rice.According to several websites, the Sam Fong powder is made of three ingredients: calcium carbonate, talc, and fragrance.

Image via Miss MonMon

But more than just a pressed powder or a face mask (if you add water), it can also be used as a polishing agent for tarnished accessories

The calcium carbonate ingredient acts as a gentle abrasive, which can be used to clean silverware and jewellery. According to Hill To Street, all you need to do is dab some of the powder onto the tarnished areas and rub it with your fingers. You'll then notice your silverware or jewellery become clean again.Here's a short video of it:

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Hill To Street (@hilltostreet)

Aside from sundry shops and pasar malams, you can find the powder on websites like Shopee, Lazada, or at MR DIY outlets. You might also be able to find calcium carbonate from a few baking shops.

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

If you find yourself stranded in floodwaters, a Malaysian has shared a tip on how to keep yourself from sinking while you wait for help

Image via @shaz99202441 (Twitter)

In a viral video tweeted by @shaz99202441 yesterday, 19 December, a guy explains that you can use your pants to help you stay afloat.

Treading the water can be tiring, especially over a long period of time. So he explains to remove your pants while you are in the water and tie both pant leg ends into a knot.

Image via @shaz99202441 (Twitter)

Once you've tied them, put your head through the hole and fill the open end of the pants with surrounding water

Image via @shaz99202441 (Twitter)

Just hold the end closed after you have filled it and it should keep your head above the water while you wait to be rescued.

You can also do this with a sarong or any other type of cloth using a similar tying method

6 Tempat ‘Simpan Duit’ Paling Bagus Untuk Anak Muda Yang Akan Beri Manfaat Di Masa Depan

Di usia yang masih muda, kita seharusnya lebih memikirkan tentang masa depan. Terutamanya tentang wang yang perlu disimpan andai kata ekonomi tidak stabil.

Image via MyNewsHub

Walau seboros mana pun kita, penyimpanan wang untuk masa hadapan adalah penting untuk setiap individu. Perkara ini boleh dimulakan pada usia muda supaya lebih senang dan lebih banyak yang dapat disimpan.Berapa % duit kita yang perlu kita asingkan untuk simpanan setiap bulan? Sebenarnya itu semua terpulang, yang penting kita tahu tempat yang terbaik untuk menyimpan duit.Seorang wanita, Nor Aliah Mohd Nor di Facebook miliknya membuat satu perkongsian menarik tentang tempat terbaik untuk menyimpan duit yang sangat berguna terutama sekali untuk anak-anak muda yang bekerjaya.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Image via Nor Aliah Mohd Nor / Facebook

Image via Nor Aliah Mohd Nor / Facebook

1. ASB

Image via My Sumber

1) Tetapkan matlamat pelaburan ASBContoh matlamat pelaburan ASB:- Untuk membeli rumah- Untuk perbelanjaan perkahwinan- Untuk melancong ke luar negara2) Bezakan antara pelaburan ASB dan pinjaman ASBBezakan antara “force saving” dan simpanan ASB.Pinjaman ASB akan menjurus kepada force saving, manakala pelaburan ASB biasa ialah simpanan ASB.3) Pelaburan ikut kemampuanKita boleh menentukan komitmen bulanan kita sendiri sebab hanya kita sahaja tahu berapa pendapatan kita sebulan dan hanya kita lebih tahu kemampuan bulanan kita.Contoh: Kita mampu membuat simpanan ASB sebanyak RM1,000 sebulan.Pecahkan je kepada dua:- Force Saving (RM700)- Simpanan ASB (RM300)Ingat! Simpanan ASB biasa pun penting juga tau, incase kalau ada emergency kan. Boleh guna dulu duit dalam simpanan ASB itu.Jangan sesekali tamatkan pinjaman ASB anda tanpa alasan yang munasabah.

2. Tabung Haji

Image via ISMAWeb

Antara kebaikan menyimpan menggunakan simpanan Tabung Haji adalah:1) Modal awal yang rendah2) Modal simpanan dijamin3) Kos yang rendah4) Pemberian dividen dan bonus kompetitif5) Dividen dan bonus dikecualikan cukai6) Zakat dibayar pihak Tabung Haji7) Simpanan dan pengeluaran tanpa had8) Patuh syariah9) Simpanan untuk menunaikan Haji

3. Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) atau dikenali sebagai Skim Persaraan Swasta

Image via Malay Mail Online

PRS ini melengkapkan plan simpanan persaraan wajib seseorang melalui KWSP.  Ianya juga dijadikan sebagai simpanan tambahan untuk persaraan. Simpanan ini dapat melawan inflasi dan berpeluang mendapat pulangan pelaburan yang baik.Tambahan kepada Simpanan Persaraan. Simpanan Persaraan PRS akan melengkapkan simpanan persaraan KWSP seseorang. Manakala pelepasan cukai individu juga akan mendapat pengecualian sehingga RM3,000 setahun penilaian bagi 10 tahun pertama.Tidak ramai yang tahu ada peruntukan bajet 2017 untuk anak muda linkungan umur 20-30-an. Kerajaan mengumumkan pemberian sumbangan RM1,000 one-off di bawah Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) Youth Incentive. Yang paling penting sekali, untuk pastikan kualiti hidup yang lebih terjamin ketika bersara.

4. Simpanan emas untuk dana pendidikan

Image via bisnis.liputan6.com

Cuba kira berapa nisbah gram emas yang diperlukan untuk belanja pengajian universiti hari ini. Berdasarkan pinjaman yang diberikan oleh PTPTN untuk pengajian jurusan sastera di IPTA iaitu RM6500 setahun.6500 × 5 tahun = RM32,500Maka jumlah pinjaman sekitar RM32,500. Jadi kita boleh andaikan, kos pengajian universiti tempatan sekitar RM35,000 hingga RM40,000 pada hari ini. Ia bersamaan nilai dalam lingkungan 210 hingga 240 gram emas.Kalau kita simpan 1 gram emas sebulan untuk anak bermula dari hari kelahirannya, maka ia akan ambil masa 18 hingga 20 tahun untuk cukupkan emas sebanyak itu. 20 × 12 = 240 gramSimpanan itu kalis inflasi. Pendek kata, 240 gram emas itu cukup untuk tampung pendidikan anak-anak walau apa pun berlaku kepada ekonomi dan ringgit. Anak-anak tak perlu ambil pinjaman PTPTN seperti kita.Tak perlu ajar anak-anak kita berhutang seusia muda sebab tabiat berhutang adalah tabiat yang kurang baik.Kalau simpan 1 gram sebulan sejak hari kelahiran, pada umur 18 tahun setiap anak akan memiliki 240 gram emas dengan nilai hari ini sekitar RM43,200 (RM180 x 240 gram). Ianya cukup untuk kos pengajian universiti tempatan tanpa perlu pinjaman PTPTN!Cara terbaik simpan 1 gram!Persoalan seterusnya, di mana nak beli emas 1 gram ini?Untuk makluman anda semua, gold bar 1 gram harga per gramnya sangat mahal. Ini disebabkan kos pembuatan emas bersaiz kecil memang mahal. Kosnya dalam linkungan RM210 hingga RM250 mengikut syarikat-syarikat yang berlainan.ALTERNATIF:Cara terbaik untuk simpan emas 1 gram sebulan, dah siap disediakan oleh PUBLIC GOLD utk orang-orang yang berpendapatan sederhana melalui akaun GAP.Walaupun ia akaun emas, tetapi ianya boleh keluarkan emas fizikal dan simpan sendiri (kalau mahu). Dan yang pastinya, harganya termurah di pasaran Malaysia sekarang. Kita boleh buka satu akaun untuk setiap anak (dengan nama ibu / bapa sebagai pemilik bersama).

5. Tabung warna

Image via Nor Aliah Mohd Nor / Facebook

Tabung warna merupakan cara yang paling menarik, mudah dan untung. Cara ini adalah sesuai untuk golongan yang mempunyai disiplin tinggi dan ingin menyimpan secara tetap. Anda perlu tetapkan dahulu warna tabung yang anda inginkan. Contohnya, jika pilih warna hijau dan oren (RM5 dan RM20), jadi anda perlu menyimpan duit kertas RM5 dan RM20 setiap kali anda terima duit tersebut.Anda tak boleh belanjakan dengan menggunakan duit RM5 dan RM20 tersebut untuk perbelanjaan harian anda. Faktor menyimpan duit mengikut warna bukan sahaja kelihatan menarik, malah mendidik kita untuk lebih berjimat dan menghargai setiap duit yang kita terima. Bila sampai hujung tahun, anda boleh keluarkan duit simpanan tersebut dan laburkan di tempat yang betul.

6. Unit Trust

Image via Cakna Wang

Unit Trust ialah simpanan jangka sederhana ke panjang. Biasanya matlamat yang ditetapkan bagi simpanan jenis ini ialah persaraan, pendidikan anak, Haji/Umrah, beli rumah atau berkahwin.Ramai familiar dengan ASB. ASB juga unit trust tetapi untuk jangka pendek. Tempoh: 3 tahun - 5 tahun atau lebih. Dari segi keuntungan pula boleh bagi 10%-15% purata pulangan kalau simpan 3 tahun - 5 tahun atau lebih daripada itu.Keuntungan ada 3 jenis:Capital gain: Harga naik turun. Kedua dua keadaan ini sebenarnya bagi kelebihan kepada klien. Yang terbaik beli masa murah, jual masa mahal.Dividen: Fund yang lebih 2 tahun mesti ada dividen. Ada konsultan yang boleh maklumkan lagi baik. Dapat dividen, dapat unit PERCUMA.Bonus: Dapat bila company declare.Unit Trust sebaiknya ada konsultan yang pantau akaun. Konsultan yang akan pening kepala untuk bila masa sesuai tambah simpanan, bila dapat dividen dan bila switching fund. Fund terbaik ialah moderate fund. Volatility sederhana yang memudahkan klien untung juga mudahkan konsultan.

Jadi, adakah anda bersedia untuk berubah menjadi lebih disiplin dalam menyimpan wang untuk masa hadapan? :)

Grab Is Charging Passengers RM3 To RM5 For Cancelling Rides From 25 March Onwards

From 25 March onwards, Grab Malaysia will start charging cancellation fees on passengers who cancel or do not show up at the pick-up point after a certain amount of time

Image via primer.com.ph

According to The Star, the ride-hailing company notes that passengers who cancel their ride five minutes after getting a driver will be charged a RM3 to RM5 penalty

The exact fee amount is based on the type of vehicle or service that a passenger has booked for. For example:

Image via Grab Malaysia / The Star

Do note that passengers will not be charged a cancellation fee if they cancel within five minutes of booking a driver.

Grab will also be charging no-show passengers a RM5 penalty when a driver cancels a ride after waiting at the pick-up point for more than five minutes

According to the updated Cancellation Policy, Grab drivers are required to wait for five minutes (or three minutes if it's a GrabShare ride) before they are entitled to charge a cancellation fee. The cancellation fees will be deducted directly from passengers' GrabPay credits or credit/debit card, while passengers paying by cash will have the fee automatically added to their next ride fare.

However, Grab assures passengers that the cancellation fee will not apply if a driver does not arrive within 10 minutes after the initial estimated time of arrival

Image via Reuters

For example, if a passenger is allocated a driver who is three minutes away but has waited for more than 13 minutes, the passenger will not be charged a cancellation fee. The Star reports that the ride-hailing company has measures in place to detect if a driver is not moving towards a pick-up point. Customers are also encouraged to contact the driver or GrabChat if they wish to cancel a ride after waiting for too long.

What are your thoughts on Grab implementing cancellation fees on late cancellations and passenger no-shows? Let us know what you think in the comments section.

The cancellation fee policy will also be implemented for Grab Singapore:

                Grab Singapore Will Be Charging Passengers SGD4 If They Cancel A Ride After Five Minutes

Drivers will receive 100% of the fee as compensation for their time on the road.

Netizens Question Why Rapid KL's My30 Travel Pass Is Getting Replaced By My50

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

On Monday, 27 December, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong announced the launch of the new Rapid KL My50 unlimited travel pass

According to Malay Mail, the minister said the RM50 pass will effectively replace the current My30 pass that was introduced under the National Economic Recovery Plan (PENJANA) in June last year.The new pass, only eligible for Malaysian citizens, will be sold starting 1 January 2022.The My50 pass provides unlimited rides on all services operated by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, which include LRT, MRT, Monorail, BRT, Rapid KL buses, and MRT feeder buses within the Klang Valley for 30 consecutive days.

Bermula 1 Januari 2022, dapatkan Pas Perjalanan Tanpa Had selama 30 hari My50 di semua stesen LRT, MRT, Monorel, BRT dan hab-hab bas terpilih.Untuk keterangan lanjut, layari media sosial Rapid KL atau https://t.co/TrOs9B6TJd #SuperJimat #PerjalananTanpaHad #RapidKL pic.twitter.com/59uTYiyT4c— Ask Rapid KL (@AskRapidKL) December 28, 2021

The news was not welcomed by social media users, who questioned the price hike especially so soon after flash floods inundated the city

"Why the rise in price?" questioned a Twitter user.

Image via Twitter

"Is the economic status of the people improving?" asked another.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, someone said, "Many cars are affected by the floods and you guys want to raise the price? Strange."

Image via Twitter

However, according to Wee's press conference, the all-access monthly pass is still being subsidised by the government

Wee said the new My50 pass was made possible with a RM115 million allocation under the National Recovery Plan (NRP) announced this year."Normally, a monthly pass would be valued at RM200. When we offer subsidised unlimited travel passes, this would mean that RM50 would be paid by the people, and RM150 [would be] taken care of by the government," he said, as quoted by theSundaily.He said the pass "proves the ruling coalition cares about public welfare, especially in these trying times in line with the aspirations of Keluarga Malaysia" and expects it to help increase passenger traffic.

Image via @AfrinaNewsMPB (Twitter)

The My50 pass will also be applicable for those using Rapid Penang's bus services, but it will be known as Pas Mutiara

Wee added that although the sales of My30 passes ends on 31 December, those who have made advanced purchases may continue using their passes until 30 January.Otherwise, the My50 unlimited travel pass will be available for purchase from 1 January 2022.

This Malaysian Billionaire Is Going To Fund 5,000 Homes For Poor Filipinos

Prominent Malaysian billionaire, Vincent Tan, has pledged to build 5,000 houses for poor Filipinos

Tan made the announcement when speaking at the 4th Global Social Business Summit held at the GK Enhancement Farm in Angkat, Bulacan, Manila recently. The charity project will proceed with the help of Gawad Kalinga (GK) Community Development Foundation, a Philippine-based poverty alleviation and nation-building movement. In 2012, Tan donated 100 million pesos (RM8.9 million) to the GK foundation, which is part of the 300 million pesos (RM26.7 million) he had pledged for the construction of 3,000 houses for Filipinos who were hit by natural disasters. Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun or popularly known as Vincent Tan, is the founder and chairman of  Berjaya Corporation Berhad which houses businesses ranging from property, gambling, resorts, and retail franchises. Tan made it into the Forbes billionaire list in 2010 with an estimated worth of USD1.3 billion (RM4.2 billion).

"The rich became rich because a lot of poor people supported their businesses. I pledge half of my wealth to charitable work. The masses support our business and who are the masses? Many of them are poor," said Tan.

To date, the Berjaya-GK collaboration has managed to build 1,000 homes for the poor in the Philippines. "We committed 3,000 houses several years ago and if you build faster, we would like to commit 5,000 houses," explained Tan. It was reported that Tan went to the Philippines in 2015, to attend the groundbreaking ceremony to build the 1,000 housing units for the survivors of Typhoon "Sendong" in Cagayan de Oro City.

Speaking about how the Berjaya Group is very happy to lend a helping hand to Philippines, Tan explained that it's the poor that support and help rich people's businesses

"We’re very pleased to help the Philippines by doing business here. Like what I always say, the rich people need the poor to support their businesses and I think the rich must give back as much as possible," said Tan.He also took the opportunity to reveal his future plans of emulating the housing projects for the poor in the Philippines in Malaysia by setting up shelters for the less fortunate. Meanwhile, responding to Tan's generosity, GK founder Antonio Meloto said that Berjaya is one of the foundation's biggest contributors. He said that Berjaya and GK have successfully developed 12 villages in the Philippines and the first two were home to survivors of Typhoon "Pablo" in Compostela Valley back in 2012.

While Vincent is building homes for the poor in the Philippines, this odd job worker in Perak built a house for his homeless neighbour:

The 81-year-old had lost her home in a fire a couple of years ago.

A Govt Clerk And A Woman Are Behind Bars For Making Up A Crime That Didn't Happen

Around noon yesterday, police arrested a 45-year-old government clerk and his 20-year-old sister-in-law in Sibu for making up a crime and spreading false news about it using WeChat and Facebook

According to a BorneoPost Online report, police were informed about two Facebook posts, containing several photos, made by the 20-year-old woman under the name Bini Wat Gandai on the night of 23 February and again on the morning of 24 February.In the posts, she alleged that a group of student thugs from SMK Sibujaya had assembled illegally at Town Villa, Sibujaya to fight and commit violence.In one of the posts, the woman alleged that the situation was creating a public nuisance to the residents in that area and urged police to take immediate action.

Screenshot of one of the Facebook posts by the woman.

After being informed about the posts, a team from CID Sibu was sent to the school to investigate. However, they found that no such thing happened and the posts were spreading false information.

Image via Bini Wat Gandai via Facebook

According to the police, the photos were taken during the normal peak hours where parents were sending their children to school

Their investigation revealed that no such incident occurred the previous day or any other day as alleged by Bini Wat Gandai in her Facebook posts.However, after the police were done with their investigation, the woman, who is unemployed, posted another set of photos on her Facebook account.In the post, she thanked the police for "resolving the matter", a matter that never actually occurred in the first place.

Following which, a police report was lodged against the woman and her brother-in-law, the government clerk who originally took the photos and posted on his WeChat. Police first called them to the station for questioning and later arrested them from their homes.

According to the police, the woman claimed that she saw the posting in her brother-in-law’s WeChat and copied them to her Facebook account without verifying.The brother-in-law gave the excuse that he saw a group of students in front of the school and assumed they were going to fight. He took several photos and posted them in his WeChat, creating fear among folks in SibuJaya.The case is being investigated under Section 500 of the Penal Code and 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Speaking about the case, Sarawak CID Chief Datuk Dev Kumar said that although there have been wide media coverage of social media users being arrested for spreading false crime news, some people seemed completely oblivious to the hardline approach by the police

He, however, added that the Sarawak police will "continue to take an uncompromising approach towards fake news and misinformation in the social media that can create unnecessary concern and fear among the community".

Pakatan Rakyat proposed a moratorium to scrap the National Service (NS) programme in an effort to cut budget deficiet

Pakatan Rakyat proposed a moratorium to scrap the National Service (NS) programme in an effort to cut budget deficiet
Image via faradalemedia.com

PETALING JAYA, Oct 17 — Pakatan Rakyat (PR) proposed today a moratorium on the National Service (NS) in a bid to slash the budget deficit to 3 per cent of the GDP by 2014.

        yahoo.com

Anwar Ibrahim says NS is wasteful and should be reviewed or stopped altogether in 2014

"We propose that the NS, which has caused the death of 22 teenagers, be stopped next year as a moratorium to allow a parliament select committee to be set up to make revisions or scrap it altogether," he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“Finally, as an example in terms of wastage, we propose that the PLKN (National Service), which is now conducted annually and has caused, unfortunately, deaths of 22 students, needs to be reviewed,” said Anwar at a joint press conference with DAP’s Lim Kit Siang and PAS’ Datuk Mustafa Ali at the PKR headquarters here today.

        themalaymailonline.com

According to NS council chairman Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe, the NS training programme budget in 2012 was RM700 million

National news agency Bernama quoted National Service council chairman Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe in September last year as saying that the training programme’s budget in 2012 was RM700 million.

        yahoo.com

According to Deputy Defence Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusop, RM2.37bil has been spent to finance the national service (NS) programme since it was introduced in 2004. RM608.6mil was spent in 2004, RM604.8mil in 2005, RM588.2mil in 2006 and RM565mil in 2007. Defence Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had said earlier that the programme would not exceed RM500mil a year.

        wikipedia.org

Trainees were initially given a RM300 allowance by the government. Beginning in January 2008, this amount has been raised to RM150/month, or RM450 total.

        wikipedia.org

Pakatan Rakyat's proposal to halt NS is in anticipation of it's shadow budget to the upcoming Budget 2014

Anwar was commenting on PR's shadow budget for 2014, which aims to reduce Malaysia's deficit by 3%.

        themalaysianinsider.com

PR's shadow budget, he added, will be unveiled by October 21, four days before Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is expected to table the federal government's budget for 2014.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“First on the Budget, the focus would be on issue inequality because under Barisan Nasional (BN) administration, clearly there is a widening gap between the very rich and the poor, and this, of course, is an issue of concern the Pakatan Rakyat Budget will address,” said the former finance minister.

Clueless Airline Passenger Opens Emergency Exit To Get Some Fresh Air

Do you ever just stop paying attention during the safety briefing at the beginning of the flight? Well, a man from China did and ended up causing a two-hour delay.

Image via tumblr.com

The first time air traveller was anxious to get out and wanted some fresh air, so he decided to deploy the emergency slide

Image via thenanfang.com

An antsy passenger who couldn't bear to spend another minute on a plane decided to open an emergency exit and deploy the emergency slide, "to get off the plane quicker."

        ajc.com

“He told the attendants he just wanted some fresh air … Hope our flight won’t be delayed for too long.”

        scmp.com

As a result of the incident, the return flight MU2332, scheduled to leave at 9:50pm, was delayed until 11:41pm.

        thenanfang.com

The airline staffs alleged tried to stop him but were unsuccessful

Image via thenanfang.com

Flight attendants claim they tried to stop the deployment but failed. The flight ended up being delayed for two hours.

        ajc.com

The airline’s maintenance team rushed to fix the safety door.

        scmp.com

This little stunt is going to cost the airline a whopping $16,000 to fix

Image via thenanfang.com

Aviation experts say the cost to repair and replace the opened cabin door and emergency slide is approximately RMB 100,000 (over $16,000).

        thenanfang.com

Despite the costly repair, the airline does not plan on imposing the charge on the man since it was an honest mistake

Image via memecreator.eu

But the airline said it did not plan to penalise the passenger as he had not done it intentionally.“It was his first travel by air,” an airline staff member of the airline told the paper. “He did not cause delay or any other direct loss to the airline anyway.”

This New Japanese Restaurant In KL Lets You Dine With All The Four Seasons Under One Roof

Dubbed the "first and largest authentic Japanese restaurant in Asia", Aragan Yokocho - the latest addition to KL's Quill City Mall - may just become a new favourite for Japanese food lovers in Malaysia

Image via SAYS

In a bid to provide a unique dining experience, the 18,848 square feet restaurant is spread out into four themed seating areas inspired by the four seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter

Summer-themed (foreground) and autumn-themed (background) seating area.

Each section is decorated with motifs that correspond to each season to help you identify the theme of where you choose to sit, such as bamboo shoots for spring.

Autumn-themed seating area.

Winter-themed seating area with private booths.

Pseudo tatami-style seating area.
Image via SAYS

Aragan Yokocho sets itself apart from other Japanese restaurants in the sense that they house 10 concept "stalls" in a food court-style space, each serving a different kind of food

Image via SAYS

Each station has a specific chef (or chefs) assigned to prepare different kinds of cuisine, such as sushi, tempura, noodles, rice bowls, teppanyaki, sukiyaki (hotpots), yakitori, as well as drinks and desserts, all priced between RM15 to RM40. Those looking to unwind for the evening can also order sake from their varied selection of spirits at the sake bar.

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Despite the food court-style arrangement, you don't actually have to order and carry your own food to the table

Image via SAYS

Waiters are always on hand to take your orders (and even give you a tour of the massive space), or you can simply key in your selection via the tablet provided and wait for it to be delivered to your table.

With over a hundred dishes to choose from, we found ourselves spoilt for choice! With some help from the restaurant's staff, we narrowed it down to some of their signature dishes:

Image via SAYS

Assorted sushi i.e. Salmon Wasabi Mayo (top left), Negi Toro (minced tuna with spring onion, top right and bottom right), and Tai Bainiku (red snapper with pickled plum, bottom left).

Image via SAYS

Ebi Tempura Moriwase: A platter of prawn, scallop, perilla leaves, and okra fried tempura-style, served with tempura sauce as well as plum salt, matcha salt, and curry salt.

Image via SAYS

Syouyu Hiyashi Chuka: Cold noodles served in soy sauce, topped with julienned cucumber, crabmeat, seaweed, beansprouts and chicken. Our personal favourite!

Image via SAYS

Japanese-style rice bowl topped with fresh tuna slices, seaweed, and a bouncy soft-boiled egg.

Image via SAYS

Cherry Blossom set: Chicken katsu don (rice bowl with fried chicken thigh cutlets), served with a fried tempura nest.

Image via SAYS

Kamameshi: Literally meaning "kettle rice", served with burdock, eel, mushrooms, snow peas, and dashi stock.

Image via SAYS

Okonomiyaki: Japanese-style pancake stuffed with squid, mentai (cod roe), and cheese.

Image via SAYS

Kurogawa Monaka: Sesame ice cream, azuki bean paste, and whipped cream sandwiched between soft wafer. Also available with matcha (green tea) ice cream.

Image via SAYS

Kurogoma Parfait: Sesame ice cream served with azuki bean paste, longan, and whipped cream. Also available with matcha ice cream.

One interesting tidbit about Aragan Yokocho's food - the dishes are based on cuisine from the Kantō region, unlike most Japanese restaurants in Malaysia

According to managing director Kunio Yoshikawa, most Japanese food in Malaysia originate from the Kansai region. He added that while dishes from Kantō tend to be saltier, it's "good for health!"

For those who'd like to have a unique keepsake of their visit, the restaurant also provides yukatas - both male and female - for you to take Insta-worthy pics in!

Image via SAYS

Don't worry if you have no idea how to wear them the right way, the restaurant staff will guide and even help you put them on. :D

Aragan Yokocho has plans to open an even bigger outlet in Sunway Velocity, Cheras later this year. In the meantime, you can visit them at their flagship location here:
