[VIDEO] Lelaki Ini Bagi Pengajaran Penting Buat Mereka Yang Suka Buang Sampah Merata-rata

Pernah tak anda tengok orang senang-senang je buang sampah merata-rata tanpa ada rasa bersalah pun?

Masa itu, apa tindakan anda, hanya memandang, tegur orang itu ataupun malas nak panjang cerita terus ambil dan buang sampah di tong sampah yang berdekatan? Percaya tak sebenarnya ramai orang yang hanya memandang dan mengkritik dalam diam sahaja bila ternampak orang buang sampah merata-rata ini. Kadang-kadang kita tahu bahawa sikap itu salah tapi sebab tidak mahu jadikan ia isu besar jadi hanya mampu 'menggeleng kepala' sahajalah. Jarang sekali kita dapat lihat orang yang berani menegur atau mengajar mereka yang kurang pendidikan sivik ini.

“Bahaya & Boleh Terbakar” - Jangan Tinggalkan Barang-Barang Ini Di Dalam Kereta Anda

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Kereta merupakan kenderaan yang sering kita gunakan untuk ke mana saja

Boleh dianggap kereta ini seperti rumah kedua kita kerana pelbagai barangan yang disimpan di sini. Daripada barangan keperluan sehinggalah barangan elektronik.Namun, tahukah anda meninggalkan barang-barang sedemikian boleh mengundang bahaya terutama sekali apabila kereta kerap ditinggalkan dan terdedah di bawah cuaca panas terik? Jom kami kongsikan kepada anda barangan yang anda perlu elakkan dan ditinggalkan di dalam kereta.

1. Penyala api

Penyala api atau lighter adalah barang 'wajib' bagi mereka yang merokok. Kadangkala sampai 2-3 biji lighter ditinggalkan di dalam kereta.Ia amat berbahaya kerana jika anda meninggalakan kereta anda di bawah terik matahari, haba yang terkurung di dalam kereta boleh menjadi gas di dalam lighter dan ini boleh mendatangkan risiko letupan.

2. Barangan elektronik

Barangan elektronik ini termasuklah telefon bimbit, vape, power bank dan kamera. Hal ini kerana kesemua barangan ini mempunyai bateri di dalamnya dan ia boleh menyebabkan letupan kerana terlalu panas.Asid atau alkali dari sel bateri tersebut boleh mengakibatkan kulit melecur dan meninggalkan kesan lama pada badan yang terdedah kepadanya.

3. Ubat-ubatan

Ubat-ubatan juga antara salah satu benda yang kerap disimpan di dalam kereta. Iyalah, sesetengah orang berpendapat bahawa ia lebih senang jika berlaku apa-apa kesakitan nanti jadi sebab itu disimpan siap-siap di dalam kereta.Namun, sebenarnya ia tidak elok kerana terdedah di bawah cuaca panas. Seeloknya, ubat-ubatan perlu disimpan di suhu bilik.

4. Barangan kosmetik

Barangan kosmetik termasuklah sunscreen, sepatutnya hendaklah disimpan di tempat yang kering dan bersuhu bilik.Hal ini kerana, jika ditinggalkan di suhu yang panas, kompaun kimia di dalam produk-produk ini boleh terkompromi dan berpotensi untuk jadi beracun.

5. Minuman

Bagi minuman seperti di dalam tin seperti 100Plus dan Coca-Cola akan mengembang dan seterusnya meletup jika terdedah kepada suhu tinggi.Bagi minuman di dalam botol plastik pula, ia amat sensitif terhadap haba dan akan membebaskan bahan beracun ke dalam cecair yang ada di dalam botol berkenaan. Jika diminum secara berterusan, ia boleh membahayakan sistem dalam badan.

6. Makanan

Seglintir pemandu sangat gemar meninggalkan makanan di dalam kereta. Tidak kisahlah dari snek hingga gula-gula. Kononnya sebagai kudapan semasa memandu.Tahukah anda, sesetengah makanan akan luput dalam masa seminggu dan ia boleh mengakibatkan keracunan makanan. Malah, ia juga boleh mengudang kedatangan serangga dan juga lipas.

Jadi, jangan sekali-kali tinggalkan benda-benda ini dalam kereta korang ya! ;)

Stray Dog That Attended Lectures Is Killed By Uni Officials And Dumped Away In The Trash

Students at Northwest A&F University in Yanglin County, China, are outraged over the killing of a stray dog named 'Casper' that had recently been attending lectures on English and calculus at the university and was becoming something of a mascot

Casper the dog would regularly sit in on English and calculus at the Northwest A&F University in Yanglin County in the city of Xi'an, in north-western China's Shaanxi province.The story of Casper began to circulate in local media and on social networks, however university officials did not appreciate the attention, and poisoned the dog.

        dailymail.co.uk

The university officials reportedly felt that the Casper's presence was not only distracting to students, but also damaging to their reputation as a top university in the country, Shanghaiist reports

Image via wp.com

The university officials said the dog, Casper, had been killed along with four others as they posed potential danger to the teachers and students on the campus, Tencent News reported on Thursday.

        shanghaiist.com

A spokesman for the university said: 'We cannot tolerate strays on the campus as they make a mess and also pose a risk that they might bite someone, which ultimately means it's our responsibility.'

        dailymail.co.uk

21-year-old student Xiong Hou said:

Here, Casper can be seen taking a nap during a calculus class at the university
Image via dailymail.co.uk

'It was felt the dog had a really good influence on people, and as far as I know none of the lecturers objected.'Sometimes they would joke that only the dog was paying attention. I think he liked the English classes and calculus because the seats were best there for him to sleep on.'But when he didn't turn up at the canteen at midday which he usually did to get food with the rest of us, somebody was horrified to see his body in the bin.'Apparently he had been poisoned by university officials.'

        dailymail.co.uk

Another 23-year-old student at the University, Xiao Wang, added:

Students found out about Casper's untimely death after pictures surfaced of the dog's bloody dead body in a bin
Image via shanghaiist.com

'It wasn't necessary to kill Casper, he would sit all day long in classes so he was hardly a threat to anyone. 'They were just embarrassed that he made them look unprofessional. But actually I think having a pet in the class is actually progressive and forward-thinking. Many people are very sad.'

This Malaysian Man Collected Almost Everything MILO Has Ever Made Since The 1950s

A man has been keeping MILO merchandise for over 15 years in his home in Klang.
And the collection is truly something to behold.

Mohd Yusof Ali, who dubs himself the 'Miloman', began the whole obsession in memory of his late father

The 41-year-old told Malay Mail that his father used to own a sundry shop when he was a kid in the 1980s."Suppliers used to drop off MILO goods at our store and we would always get free gifts with the delivery, like pencil boxes and water bottles," he said."When I became an adult, I started having a sense of nostalgia for these items so I started collecting them. Now, I have everything from old MILO tins to umbrellas."

Image via Yusof Ypi Miloman/Facebook

Image via Yusof Ypi Miloman/Facebook

Yusof now owns over 1,000 MILO-related items, with some even dating back to the 1950s

All neatly organised and on display in his living room, the collection consists of mugs, clothes, pins, posters, bags, caps, envelopes, and even a whole cabinet of MILO truck models.He estimated that he owns 90% of every merchandise ever released by MILO since it came into the Malaysian market 70 years ago.He also told SAYS that the most valuable item to him in his collection is a rare and antique kopitiam MILO mug that was only produced in the 1950s.

His love for the chocolate malt drink doesn't end just there - he is also currently running a Facebook group for other Malaysian MILO enthusiasts

The group, of which he is the admin, has over 6,000 members. People join to share news of the latest MILO merchandise available in the country, trade items, and also to show off their own personal collections.While running meet-ups, Yusof has also frequently welcomed friends and guests to his home to view his gallery.

The superfan said he has no plans of giving up his hobby anytime soon

Although the items in the collection may cost him a fortune - he told SAYS that he has spent nearly RM40,000 on his hobby - he said the real worth lies in their sentimental value."I probably spent thousands of ringgit on my collection but I don't pay too much attention to the numbers because I feel like these are items you can't put a price on," he said.

Even during the political turmoil in February, a MILO truck could bring us together:

At one point in the video, when the lift stops and its doors open, the suspect stopped hitting the victim and pretends to stand while holding her down in a corner. However, he then presses the button to close the lift doors and once again starts beating the victim.

He kicks and punches her several times. As the lift moves down a floor, the woman attempts to stand but is quickly kicked and punched by the man again.The woman appears to beg the man to return her handbag, stretching her hands towards him, as he ransacks her belongings.She continues to plead with the man to stop, waving her hands helplessly, as the man drops the bag after having fished out the woman's wallet and slips out of the lift.

The woman suffered multiple injuries during the assault

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Senior Asst Comm Rusdi Mohd Isa said the victim suffered multiple injuries to her body and bruises on her forehead, reported The Star Online."The victim received outpatient treatment at a nearby hospital," SAC Rusdi said.

Police have classified the case under Section 394 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt while committing a robbery

Wanita Ini Alami Pendarahan Dan Terkejut Tiba-Tiba Ada Kandungan 9 Bulan Dalam Perut

Menunggu selama 5 tahun untuk dikurniakan cahaya mata. Doa pasangan ini telah dimakbulkan oleh Allah dengan kehadiran puteri pertama mereka.

Setelah penantian yang begitu lama, ternyata pasangan ini iaitu Suzana Sulaiman, 38 tahun dan Nik Saleh, 43 tahun ini telah menutup tirai 2017 dengan berita yang sangat menggembirakan buat mereka apabila dikurniakan seorang bayi perempuan yang diberi nama Nik Alisha Solehah pada 19 Disember yang lalu.Tanpa disedari, Suzana Sulaiman terkejut apabila disahkan mengandung 9 bulan oleh doktor.

Image via Harian Metro

Suzana juga dikatakan mengadu sakit perut dan berlaku pendarahan ketika ingin melahirkan puteri sulung mereka itu.
Nik Saleh bergegas ke hospital bersama isterinya untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang apa yang berlaku terhadap isterinya.

Ujar Nik Saleh, “Pada jam 5 pagi, Suzana mengadu sakit perut dan berlaku pendarahan sebelum saya membawanya ke Hospital Pekan, Pahang untuk membuat pemeriksaan. Saya ingatkan hanya sakit biasa sebelum saya dimaklumkan oleh doktor, Suzana sebenarnya sakit nak bersalin."Perkara itu telah mengejutkan kedua-dua pasangan ini kerana sepanjang 9 bulan Suzana mengandung, tiada tanda-tanda besar yang berlaku terhadap Suzana. Perkara ini lebih mengelirukan apabila kitaran haid Suzana memang sudah tidak menentu sejak remaja dan badannya juga agak berisi.

Bayi sihat dan selamat dilahirkan tanpa sebarang ujian pemeriksaan yang selalunya dilakukan oleh setiap ibu mengandung untuk memastikan bayi berada dalam keadaaan yang sihat

Permata hati pasangan suami isteri ini telah dilahirkan dengan sihat tanpa melalui sebarang ujian semasa mengandung. "Kami memang tidak pernah membuat apa-apa pemeriksaan kesihatan sebelum ini dan hanya menunggu dengan sabar,"kata pasangan ini.Tarikh 19 Disember 2017 telah menjadi tarikh yang sangat bermakna buat mereka dengan kelahiran puteri sulung yang sememangnya sudah ditunggu-tunggu sejak mendirikan perkahwinan.

Kisah unik pasangan ini telah dikongsi oleh Penolong Pegawai Perubatan Unit Kecemasan dan Trauma hospital berkenaan yang dikenali sebagai Muhammad Azrie Amirudin, 28 tahun di akaun Instagram miliknya pada 19 Disember yang lalu

Katanya, “Pada waktu itu, pesakit (Suzana) datang kerana sakit perut dan ada pendarahan pada bahagian kemaluan. Perut besar sedikit tetapi tidak nampak seperti mengandung kerana badan agak berisi.“Apabila membuat ujian air kencing didapati dia mengandung dan kami tanya mengenai haid terakhirnya, pesakit kata dia tidak pasti kerana sejak remaja, kitaran haidnya tidak menentu.""Kes kecemasan ini dan kemudian dirujuk kepada Pakar Ginekologi serta pesakit kemudian melahirkan anak secara normal dalam masa 10 minit saja," katanya lagi.Setelah Suzana selesai melahirkan, kedua-dua mereka telah dipindahkan ke wad untuk pemantauan selanjutnya dan dibenarkan untuk pulang ke rumah pada 24 Disember 2017.Sumber: Harian Metro

Dr M's Thoughts On Blocking Porn And Asking Someone To Resign

Speaking at the Malaysia Social Media Week (MSMW) 2015, former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed admitted that he has changed his mind about Internet censorship and now wants it to be censored

Image via Syada Amzahh

"When I was Prime Minister and they told me in office that I cannot censor the Internet, I agreed. At that time I thought the Internet would be used to make beautiful things, but now people are abusing the Internet and doing things that are not healthy for human society,” Dr M said at the Malaysian Social Media Week Summit in Berjaya Times Square today, 23 April 2015.He reiterated that the censorship of alternative media is needed "not to block out Chedet.com, but to block out all this filth (like porn)," adding "now I have to swallow back my words about not censoring the Internet."

Dr M says social media has given people power that was once only with the government and its instrument of police and army

"Now we have absolute power in terms of communication, but we have to ask will it corrupt us? Social media promises a better future, but we must not misuse it."

He calls for this power to be exercised responsibly and likened social media to a knife

"A knife is a very important instrument, it can be used to carve beautiful things; it can also be used to murder people. Just like a knife, alternative media can be used to do good for society, but it can also make society hard to live in."

Tun M also took a jab at Prime Minister Najib during the speech

"Sometimes we will say things that will irritate people. But if it is for the good of society sometimes we have to forget the irritation, like when you want someone to resign. What's wrong with resigning? I resigned."


8 Polite Things You Should Do When Visiting Your Partner's Family This CNY

This is it. The relationship milestone you've either been dreading or looking forward to most.

This Chinese New Year, you're not only making your first appearance at your significant other's family home to 'bai nian' (Chinese: 拜年; English: visiting family or friends for Chinese New Year )... you're probably gonna meet their relatives for the first time too!

You already know you should be on your best behaviour, but we've got some extra bits of advice on what you should and - most importantly - should NOT do when you meet the clan:

1. Greet older members of the family when you see them, and make sure you address them as well

Image via DanKhooProductions

A simple "Hello" or a familiar Chinese New Year greeting would do; and remember to tack on an "auntie" or "uncle" as a sign of respect. For example, "Hello, Auntie!" or "Gong xi fa cai, Uncle!" Thankfully, you are not expected to address them by their individual familial titles just yet.

2. Don't come empty-handed

Mandarin oranges are practical gifts to bring along when visiting a family member or friend's house for Chinese New Year.
Image via Page Advisor

It's a symbol of goodwill to bring gifts when you visit one's house for Chinese New Year (known as 'bai nian' in Mandarin). Don't worry, you're not expected to bring a hamper of expensive Chinese herbs and ingredients. A bag of juicy Mandarin oranges, a few packets of snacks, and/or a box of Ferrero Rocher will do just fine.

3. If you are handed a drink, take it. Even if it's room temperature and not chilled to your liking, just take it.

Image via Ant Team Social Media Marketing / YouTube

Offering snacks and drink is your host's way of welcoming you to their home, so declining might make it seem like you are ungrateful.

4. Go easy on the snacks, try not to hog it all to yourself

Image via cheokboardstudios / YouTube

The kuih kapit sure is addictive, but do make it a point to offer some to those sitting around you and maybe don't finish an entire tin of snacks by yourself. Moderation is key.

5. Don't just pay attention to your phone. The relatives want to get to know you too.

Image via Dan Khoo Productions / YouTube

Take a break from your smartphone, social media, and online games for the duration of your visit. It's rude to ignore everyone around you - even if they were practically strangers five minutes ago. Conversation may be awkward at first, but it doesn't hurt to break the ice by initiating small talk. After all, these people might be your in-laws one day. ;)

6. Avoid engaging in PDA with your boyfriend/girlfriend

Image via NBC

As the wise Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow once said, "Public displays of affection make people uncomfortable." Even more so when it's in front of his or her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, your cousins' kids... you get the drift.

7. Don't change the TV channel

Image via JianHao Tan / YouTube

You can try asking your significant other to change the channel for you, but we'd advise against it because (a) you have no power in this house, and (b) whoever is watching the TV at that time is going to be very, very annoyed at you.

8. Don't feel bad if you did not get an ang pow from some members of your SO's family

Image via Off the Great Wall / YouTube

There's always next time. ;)

BONUS: Offer to help with the clean up. :D

You'd most probably be ordered to sit back down and eat some more, but hey, extra brownie points for trying to be helpful!

Beliau yang bernama Muhammad Farhan Bin Mohamed Nor telah berkongsi cerita mengenai kisah hidupnya yang agak perit sebarang bergelar seorang OKU. Bagaimanapun, beliau yang merupakan bekas doktor dan kini pemilik kedai aksesori telefon bernama DR.fone amat kesal dengan mentaliti masyarakat Malaysia yang masih mempunyai stigma terhadap orang kurang upaya (OKU).

Beliau dikategorikan Orang Kurang Upaya mental yang mana menghidap penyakit Bipolar Type 2. Disebabkan itu Farhan terpaksa berhenti kerja atas desakan bidang profesional itu sendiri

"Saya adalah seorang OKUSaya sebagai bekas doktor dan kini pemilik kedai aksesori telefon DR.fone amat kesal dengan mentaliti masyarakat malaysia yang masih mempunyai stigma terhadap orang kurang upaya (OKU) kerana saya sendiri adalah OKU (mental) iaitu Bipolar Type 2 (Bukan gila). Sebenarnya sebab utama saya berhenti dari menjadi doktor adalah kerana stigma yang terlalu kuat terhadap orang OKU walaupun dikalangan profesional dalam kes saya dikalangan doktor sendiri. Saya telah di diagnosis mengidap penyakit ini semasa saya berkhidmat sebagai doktor pelatih di sebuah hospital kerajaan di Temerloh akibat kekurangan tidur dalam tempoh yang lama (sleep deprivation). Ini menyebabkan saya selalu mengalami kemurungan yang teruk (major depression) tanpa sebab."

        facebook.com

Tulisnya lagi, selepas beliau disahkan menghidap penyakit tersebut, lesen doktor beliau terus ditarik oleh Malaysia Medical Council (MMC) dengan alasan akan membahayakan nyawa pesakit

Selepas saya disahkan mengidap penyakit tersebut, serta merta lesen saya ditarik oleh MMC (malaysia medical council) atas alasan tidak selamat untuk mengamal walaupun tanpa bukti yang kukuh yang saya ini membahayakan nyawa pesakit. Sepanjang saya berkerja, saya tidak pernah ada masalah disiplin, ponteng kerja atau mempunyai masalah dengan pihak atasan atau dengan pesakit walaupun saya sedang menghidap penyakit yang hanya Allah tahu betapa teruknya hendak meneruskan kehidupan seperti orang normal. Setiap hari saya mengalami kemurungan yang sangat teruk tanpa sebab sehingga beberapa kali hendak cubaan bunuh diri, tetapi kerana iman alhamdulillah saya masih hidup sehingga kini.

        facebook.com

Lebih perit lagi, sejak itu juga semua orang memandang rendah terhadap dirinya malah beliau telah kehilangan kawan dan kekasihnya meninggalkannya tanpa sebarang berita

Bermula dari sini kisah hitam saya bermula. Ramai staff memandang rendah terhadap saya. Saya kehilangan kawan dan kekasih saya meninggalkan saya tanpa ada berita. Saya keseorangan tanpa bantuan sesiapa. Pihak hospital juga sentiasa mencari salah dan menekan saya dengan pelbagai cara supaya saya berhenti kerja kerana merasakan saya adalah beban bagi mereka. Dari sini saya perlahan2 menjinakkan diri dengan berniaga dari kecil walaupun pihak hospital menghalang dengan pelbagai cara seperti memotong elaun, saya tetap kuatkan semangat disamping cuba melawan penyakit yang saya alami dan alhamdulillah berjaya membuka satu kedai yang dinamakan DR.fone tanpa bantuan orang perseorangan atau kerajaan. Semua modal permulaan dari hasil jualan semasa berniaga kecil-kecilan dan juga keluarga.

Baginya, dunia ini tidak adil untuk orang-orang sepertinya. Farhan juga terpaksa menyembunyikan status OKU itu supaya beliau tidak dicemuh dan dipandang rendah masyarakat lain

Image via Muhammad Farhan/Facebook

Dunia ini memang tidak adil lagi2 untuk kami OKU. Kerana ramai kawan2 sekerja saya ponteng kerja, bergaduh dengan pihak atasan, tersilap pindah darah sehingga menyebabkan kematian, tetapi mereka hanya didenda dan boleh berkhidmat seperti biasa tanpa sebarang masalah. Saya OKU terus ditarik lesen dan tidak dibenarkan langsung untuk mengamal walapun tidak melakukan apa2 kesalahan besar atas alasan tidak selamat kerana mempunyai penyakit bipolar.Sehingga sekarang saya terpaksa menyembunyikan status OKU saya supaya saya tidak dicemuh dan dipandang rendah lagi2 saya punya penyakit adalah mental atau orang melayu panggil gila walaupun realitinya bukan seperti bahasa yang digunakan. Sehingga sekarang apabila saya berkenalan dengan wanita, bila saya memberitahu saya seorang OKU, mesti dan pasti akan ditinggalkan tanpa sebarang berita. Memang sedih tetapi ini adalah realiti sampai sekarang.

        facebook.com

Di akhir penulisannya itu, beliau menasihatkan semua belia di luar sana supaya bersyukur dan tidak mengeluh semasa bekerja

Jadi nasihat saya kepada belia2 diluar sana yang sentiasa mengeluh kerja penat,gaji kecil, tiada kerja, anda patut bersyukur kerana anda masih normal,kami OKU lebih teruk dugaan dari anda semua tetapi kami tidak mengeluh dan tidak pernah berputus asa untuk berjuang di dunia yang penuh cabaran ini.Sekian, sekadar ingin berkongsi pengalamanDR. Muhammad Farhan(MD,UPM)Pemilik kedai aksesori DR.foneFaktaMajoriti pakar2 dan ilmuan terkenal dunia mempunyai penyakit mental seperti albert einstein(asperger syndrome) dan banyak lagi.

Singaporean Woman Accused Of Leaving A Bloody Pig's Ear On Her Neighbour's Shoe Rack

We've all had experience with bad neighbours. Maybe your neighbour's dog barks too loudly or they always park outside your house.

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via booking.com

In a video that went viral in Singapore last week, a woman was dubbed the "Neighbour From Hell" after she allegedly caused her neighbours to move house

The accused is a 51-year-old divorcee who moved in to a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat in 2013.The complaints began in 2014.

Image via The Straits Times

In the span of two years, six families on the same floor have moved out and sold their flats

The "Neighbour From Hell" has been accused of splashing oil on their doors, playing loud music, and even leaving a bloody pig ear on her neighbour's shoe rack.

Image via The Straits Times

A former neighbour told The Straits Times, "I simply couldn't take it anymore. I would go home after work to find some kind of liquid splashed on my door.

			One day it was used cooking oil, another day it was porridge. The worst was when I saw a pig's ear on my shoe rack.

"It was my first flat and I felt very suay (unlucky). I sold my flat to another family. I felt sorry for them but everyone wants to escape."

As many as 17 reports have been made on said woman, but they were unsuccessful because they were for non-arrestable offences. They were even advised to keep the peace.

According to Stomp, the woman denies all her neighbours' accusations.In an interview with Lianhe Wanbao, the housewife said her neighbours had formed an alliance against her, causing her to feel distress and consider moving out.Regarding the bloody pig's ear, she said: "I don't even dare to touch a pig's ear, how could I have possibly placed it there?"She also claimed that the viral video of her was edited.

US Woman Apologises After Claiming To Improve & Modernise Chinese Porridge

A breakfast brand in the United States received backlash online after Twitter users found that its founder claimed to have "improved" and "modernised" congee, a staple dish in many Asian cultures

According to TODAY, many people were unhappy to learn that the founder of Breakfast Cure, Karen Taylor, had dubbed herself the "Queen of Congee" and made several remarks across her company's website that implies congee was an exotic, lesser food until she adapted it for the Western palate.Although certain sections have since been edited, numerous screenshots of the Breakfast Cure website have made its way to social media and news portals.In a blog post that was previously entitled 'How I discovered the miracle of congee and improved it', Taylor wrote, "I've spent a lot of time modernising (congee) for the Western pallet (sic) – making a congee that you can eat and find delicious and doesn't seem foreign, but delivers all of the medicinal healing properties of this ancient recipe."

Image via Breakfast Cure

Taylor wrote she was introduced to congee over 25 years ago while in "Chinese medical school" in New Mexico and has continued to eat it to aid her digestion

"When I was in acupuncture school, I had an amazing young brilliant American teacher who taught me about congee... She said, you know, just try it, and I loved it. It was surprising to me how good it felt in my stomach," she said in a video interview on the website.In the same interview, she referred to congee as a "sort of weird thing" that Americans needed to be confident and comfortable making in their own homes.Throughout the website, she also makes medical claims about the "healing effects of this ancient recipe" and includes a link to an article she published in the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, where the acupuncturist refers to herself as a "physician of Asian medicine".On Breakfast Cure, Taylor sells various flavours of packaged "gourmet, foodie" versions of congee, which she hopes will "become a common household food", because, even though it has been part of Asian cuisine since the start of time, she is on a "new frontier".The congee — made out of various types of rice, berries, fruits, and nuts —  costs USD14.95 (RM63) per packet, or USD263 (RM1,110) per month for a 20-pack subscription.

Image via @breakfastcure (Instagram)

Many Twitter users, mostly Asian, critisised Taylor for calling herself a congee pioneer and accused her of cultural appropriation

Some said that while she had heavily-referenced Chinese traditional healing, there was a lack of association to the dish's Asian roots or support for its people."So, a group of colonisers decided to culturally appropriate congee. Good lord," said a Twitter user, who made a thread of everything she found debatable about the brand.

Image via Twitter

"Oh God, it's like the mahjong shit all over again," said another netizen."Why the hell do white people keep taking ordinary Asian stuff and acting like they discovered some ancient mystical secret and selling their own shittier version for five times the price?"

Image via Twitter

Another Twitter user said, "A white woman really woke up one day and was like 'apple cinnamon oatmeal but make it congee' and charged people USD14.95 for it."

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, someone else joked, "Karen, millionth of her name, queen of the congee, coloniser of the five treasures, speaker to the managers, the untouched by the sun, etc."

Image via Twitter

Following the backlash, Breakfast Cure updated its website with new language and apologised for not honouring the Asian American community

"We take full responsibility for any language on our website or in our marketing and have taken immediate steps to remedy that and educate ourselves," the company posted on Instagram."... Revising our mission to not just creating delicious breakfast meals, but becoming a better ally for the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community."It also said they will donate 1% of all sales or 10% of profit, whichever is larger, to AAPI rights group Asian Americans Advancing Justice.Taylor also told TODAY that she was surprised by the response because she had been "embraced by the Chinese medicine community" when she first launched the product.However, she said she and her team will be making more changes, including to their tagline, and are still evaluating the language that had offended people.


Mahathir Is Confident That Malaysia Has Enough Revenue To Abolish GST

As the new government seeks to abolish the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad revealed that the country has enough money to remove the much-criticised tax

Image via Reuters

According to Bernama, he said, "The lack of funds in the government is not because of insufficient income, the current (national) income is three times higher than during my time as prime minister (before)."However, funds were misused. They were used to buy support for (former prime minister) Datuk Seri Najib Razak. This is why we have less money," he said.Dr Mahathir believes that with good financial management, the country would have sufficient money to remove taxes.

In an attempt to "clean up the mess", Dr Mahathir also said that no individuals or political parties can accept donations unless the Cabinet is aware of and approves of it

"This is not just limited to money because we know some people have a tendency to offer gifts. Gifts for government staff are limited to food and flowers, not any other items of value," Dr Mahathir said in a "live" broadcast on RTM 1, according to Malay Mail Online."We will not have 'revenge', this effort is only to clean up our government again, because we have been dirty for a few years to a point where the rakyat no longer believes in the government," he added.

Aside from abolishing GST, new government Pakatan Harapan is moving quickly to achieve the 10 things they promised to achieve within their first 100 days in power:

[VIDEO] SAYS Cakap Banyak: Malaysian Millennials Talk About The Struggles of Adulting

With many millennials now in their late 20s and early 30s, we're officially adults gais, eeep! But sometimes, it still doesn't feel like we're doing this adulting thing right.

In this episode of SAYS Cakap Banyak, we sat down with property YouTuber Sean a.k.a iherng to discuss some adulting struggles. Watch the full video below:

×

So first things first, what was our first #adulting moment? 'Cause ya know, it's different for everyone.

Image via SAYS

Riyal: "What about you Sean? When did you realise that 'Okay, I've gotta do some stuff now'?"Gwen: "That one defining moment."Sean: "It's when I moved out from my parents' house. When you finally get to move out yourself, then you'll finally realise that dinner don't appear on the table itself, the clothes are not gonna wash itself. I think it's the whole process of being accountable for your own being."

Whether it's part-time or full-time, there's no denying that getting your first job is a big part of making you feel all grown up

Image via SAYS

Gwen: "And then I went into the marketing department for a little while, dabbled in that. That was hard to come by because that was like my first full-time job. I graduated uni, bummed for like four months, and then I have no idea how this thing just like flopped on my lap. And I was like 'oh thank God'! This place was 40 minutes away from where I live, but I'm just gonna take it because I need to pay bills!"

And then there's that thing that all Asian aunties just loveee to constantly nag about: "When you getting married ah?"

Image via SAYS

Gwen: "And I'm like the same age as Riyal. So it's like, he's married, I'm not married."Riyal: "I have a kid."Gwen: "Yeaah, wanna rub it in more?"Sean: "It's not a competition."Gwen: "Yeah, it's not, you're right."Riyal: "But if it is, I'm winning."Gwen: "Whatever!"

Of course, buying your fist home is a HUGEEE #adulting moment! From the finances to the commitment, it's also probably one of the things that scares us most.

Image via SAYS

Gwen: "Like it scares me thinking about buying my house. I wanted to do so many other stuff, like travel and stuff. Buying a house seems like it's tying me down or like what if I don't like it? What if I don't like the area?"Riyal: "And it's not like you can leave, you're stuck there for 30 years, right?"Sean: "And that's the worst part."

But thankfully, there are now all sorts of schemes and campaigns to help first-time home buyers.
For example, EcoWorld's #InstaYours, where you can stay in your selected property for up to five years before deciding if you wanna buy it.

Image via SAYS

Sean: "But then when this product came out, so you get to lock a price down today, and you're gonna test stay for the next five years. So, you can actually decide whether you want to buy this (home) or not on the fourth year or the fifth year."Riyal: "But are these (homes) already made?"Sean: "Yeah, already made. So, you get to move in already."Gwen: So, it's like test driving your car, but like test driving your home."

#InstaYours really goes a long way in helping to ease the fears of first-time homebuyers, especially when it comes to that big C word—Commitment

Image via SAYS

Riyal: "So, a lot of people have this commitment issue. So, the problem is like you would go in but you don't know if it's a good home for the long term or not. (With #InstaYours), so you go in, number one, you get to test drive it. Number two, you already built that attachment to the house. So it makes it even more like..."Gwen: "It's like yours!"Riyal: *sighs* I didn't find this when I was looking for a house."

After all, buying a property isn't just about those four walls that you're gonna be living in. It's about so much more than that.

Image via SAYS

Riyal: "Yup, it's more than just four walls."Sean: "Correct, correct. So, what's in front of your house, what's behind your house. Where's the nearest mall? Where's the nearest school for your kids? Where's the nearest lake I can bring them to?"Gwen: "It's like about a community. You want a place to call home."

Singaporean Mum And Kids Arrested For Creating A Scene At A Routine Check In JB

A Singaporean mother and her two children have been detained for allegedly hurling abuses at a Malaysian immigration officer during a border inspection in Johor Bahru

Image via Free Malaysia Today

According to Singaporean English daily, The New Paper, the matter apparently was brought to light after a Facebook user that goes by the name 'Pokok Tumbang' posted on a Facebook page called 'JB Traffic, Road Blocks and Potholes Report' detailing the incident.

How did the drama start?

The post in Bahasa Malaysia, explained that the issue started when the immigration officer on duty had asked the female driver to wind down the tinted back window of her car for routine inspection.  Photos of the family handcuffed in the holding room at the checkpoint was also attached along with the Facebook post. However, the post has since been removed by the said Facebook page.The Star Online reported that the incident had occurred at about 3.30pm on Friday, 12 August at the Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ) when the the family was heading back to Singapore from Johor Bahru.

Instead of following the orders of the immigration officer, the lady had reportedly verbally abused him. One of the trio had even flashed the middle finger at the officer.

The verbal abuse was followed by an argument that lead to the family being detained for obstructing the officer's duties. Once detained, the trio went on to accuse the officer of asking for a bribe, which they refused.

The detained mother is reportedly 42 years old and two of her children are aged 18 and 19, respectively

Singaporean English daily, Straits Times also reported that the two detained children are said to be studying at a private college in Johor Bahru.

Johor Immigration Department director Datuk Rohaizi Bahari confirmed that the Singaporean family will be held for 14 days to assist with the investigations

"It is an offence to hurl abuse at my men who are just following the procedures during checks," he was quoted saying by local daily The Star, yesterday, 15 August. "So far our investigation also showed that the officer did not ask for any bribe as alleged by the suspects," he added.Rohaizi said individuals dissatisfied with the officers under him could file a direct complaint to him. The family's alleged offence is being investigated under Section 56(1)(g) of the Immigration Act.

If found guilty, the family would have to pay a maximum fine of RM10,000 or serve a max jail term of 5 years.

How To Effectively Evade Government Censorship Of The Internet

Malaysia, which already ranks at a measly 147th place by Reporters Without Borders in the World Press Freedom Index, is now considering the decision to censor the Internet. In order to prevent us from watching certain content, the Home Ministry is building a firewall against websites, including YouTube.

                Censoring Websites Infringes On An Individual's Right To Freedom Of Information, Say Civil Rights Activists

This is because the censorship board has a "social and religious responsibility".

Read the full story

While this decision contradicts MSC Malaysia's Bill of Guarantee Number 7, in case Malaysia actually goes and joins countries like China and North Korea, we are listing down ways through which you can effectively evade the government censorship

Image via wordpress.com

But let's first briefly understand the current state of Internet censorship, which is pretty much the same from nation-to-nation

Banner warns Thai citizens that
Image via Pratyeka/Wikimedia Commons

The Internet is being censored in several countries around the world. Over a billion people — 20 percent of the global population — are affected. Due to its large population of Internet users (over 500 million), China is the best known culprit, but certainly not the worst. Our Information Liberation Guide by Jim Rion has some useful information on global Internet censorship and lists the following countries as the worst violators:North KoreaChinaIranSaudi ArabiaOther countries not well known for Internet censorship include Bahrain, Belarus, Burma, Cuba, Syria, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.Internet censorship isn’t limited to oppressive regimes. For example, it is common practice for educational institutions all over the world to implement filtering of content deemed objectionable. Companies and institutions also do the same. Many public WiFi access points block pornography or material based on hate and violence. Maybe you have also used public WiFi hotspots where access to streaming media sites was blocked and file downloads were restricted. Clearly, the Internet isn’t free.

        makeuseof.com

So how to bypass region filtering on YouTube videos?

Image via gamingsquid.com

YouTube is notorious for having content blocked by region due to the variety of licensing schemes a content provider can put up. Unblock YouTube can get around this with a simple URL paste. The service acts as a basic proxy for YouTube videos (as well as a few other sites). Just grab the URL of the video you want to see, paste it in the box at the bottom of the page and you're off!

        lifehacker.com

Then there's also a free extension for Google chrome called Hola.

Image via wp.com

If you are using Google chrome as your primary web browser, the instructions below will show you how to access YouTube videos blocked in your country using Hola.Step 1: Install the Hola extension on Google chrome from the link provided at the bottom of this page.Step 2: Once the extension is installed, it would appear as a icon on Chrome’s extension bar.Step 3: Now when you land on a YouTube video that is blocked in your country. Click on the Hola extension and select from a country flag to view the blocked YouTube video using a proxy server.Within a few seconds, Hola will switch to a different proxy and reload the YouTube video. In case the video is still blocked, try switching to a proxy server from another country. Not just YouTube, Hola can also help you to access many other blocked sites such as CBS, Hulu, Netflix..etc from your computer without the hassles of manually changing the proxy servers every now and then.

        techverse.net

How to prevent someone from seeing the origin or destination of your Internet activities?

Image via kinja-img.com

Simply download a virtual private network or TOR browser to reroute your traffic through remote, secure servers and networks (often better than proxy servers, which fail quickly and are often insecure).This will fudge your metadata, allowing your traffic to act as if it were originating in a non-blocked, uncensored country, free to move at will. TOR and VPNs are essentially the golden standard of censorship evasion, as they allow one to entirely sidestep national blocks

        good.is

In India, in order to access blocked Internet sites, Internet users often use anonymous browsing proxy servers

Image via niharsworld.com

Browsing proxies are services that allow you to use their Internet connection, thus bypassing most of the restrictions setup by the ISPs or the network administrators. There are plenty of these on the Internet that can be accessed through your browser.All you need to do is access them and enter the URL of the site that you want to access in the address bar provided by the site. All the requests will then be channeled through that browsing proxy server.The only downside to this of course is that if the browsing proxy itself gets blocked by your ISP, you’ll have to find another one. Some of these browsing proxies, depending on how popular they are, can be slow to access. A quick Google search for anonymous browsing proxy will give you a long list of services available on the web.

        firstpost.com

We all know how China uses its Great Firewall to censor the Internet. But there are ways around the Great Firewall and one of the method most commonly used to evade the censorship is a virtual private network (VPN) which allows you to connect, over an encrypted connection, to a server outside the firewall.

Image via trinitynews.ie

1. Find a VPN service that fits your needs. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an encrypted connection to a remote server that allow you to access the internet from behind restrictive firewalls. VPNs affect all of your internet traffic, which means Skype and other messaging services are not stuck behind the firewall either. VPNs are not free, but some offer monthly plans as opposed to yearly fee, which can be very useful for travelers.2. Check that the VPN you want works in China. Some of the major VPN servers have been blocked by the Chinese government and are no longer accessible. Check with the company that you are signing up with and read reviews of the service online.3. Download any necessary software. Some VPN services will provide you with a VPN client that needs to be installed on your computer. Others will provide you connection information that you can enter into Windows’ or Mac’s connection manager.4. Connect to your VPN. Either run the client, or enter your VPN information into your operating system’s connection settings. VPN clients that are provided with the service are already pre-configured and only require you to enter your login information.Once your VPN is connected, you can visit any of the blocked sites that weren't previously accessible, as well as use any other internet-enabled programs such as Skype. You may notice a slow connection, but this is normal due to the distance between yourself and the VPN server.

Johor To Restrict Hazardous Tourist Spots During Monsoon Season

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

Now that we have reached the school holiday season, many would have targeted Johor Bahru as one of their travel destination as it's known for its many famous tourist spots.
However, the authorities are left with no choice but to restrict certain spots for everyone's safety due to the monsoon season.

According to The Star, Johor tourist guides association president Jimmy Leong Wei Kong said that the rainy season has prompted authorities to close popular tourist locations such as national parks and islands in Johor, which will have little impact on tourism."As a precaution, the authorities have not allowed any sea-related activities or those in high-risk areas. But there are other alternative destinations that tourists can still visit in Johor," he said.Besides the attractions in the Johor Bahru central business district, Kong said that areas like Kluang, Batu Pahat, and Muar were becoming more well-liked among domestic and international visitors, especially those who are looking for a "vintage vibe"."And I am sure that the cool and cloudy weather now (is much more comfortable) for visitors going to theme parks in Johor," he added.Therefore, he believed that the monsoon season would not severely affect the local tourism sector because it was a common occurrence during the year-end.

However, Kong thinks that the biggest fear of industry players concerning the monsoon season was the risk of road closures due to floods

Additionally, Johor Tourism director Suhairi Hashim said that national parks and islands off the coast of Mersing were closed during the monsoon season."Based on our experience, the monsoon season will last until the middle of January. Hopefully, the weather will improve so that our national parks and islands will be open to the public once more," he said."However, other top tourism destinations in Johor, such as Desaru, remain open for tourists."Suhairi noted that the high traffic at other state tourism attractions indicates that the monsoon season had no impact on Johor's tourism business.

A New Straits Times' report stated Pahang Basic Amenities, Public Delivery System, and Innovations Committee chairman Datuk Seri Norol Azali Sulaiman saying that the affected stretched was flooded at about 8.40am Sunday, 3 January."The section is completely impassable to east and westbound traffic, between Gambang and Sri Jaya.
