Perbalahan Elvina Dan Fify Razak Adalah Satu Kes Buli Siber Yang Amat Serius. Ini Sebabnya

Dua hari lalu, Elvina memuat naik status berang menerusi Instastory menceritakan perihal orang ke-3 yang didakwa cuba mengganggu rumahtangganya

Elvina dan suami.
Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Pelakon, Elvina Mohamad, 23, mendakwa seorang wanita yang dikenali sebagai FIfy Razak, 29, telah mengganggu suaminya, Datuk Haniff Borhan, 33, menggunakan taktik menjual insurans.Menurut Elvina, Fify dan suaminya berurusan menerusi direct message di Instagram dan di situlah tercetusnya perbualan kurang menyenangkan di antara mereka berdua.

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Fify yang terkejut dengan tuduhan tidak berasas itu cuba bercakap secara baik kepada Elvina dan menjelaskan bahawa dia sebenarnya telah salah faham

Image via Instagram @fifyrazak

Fify menjelaskan kepada Elvina bahawa hubungannya dengan Datuk Haniff hanyalah sekadar klien dan agen sahaja dan tidak lebih dari itu. Malah, Fify berkata Datuk Haniff yang menghubunginya terlebih dahulu untuk bertanyakan tentang insurans untuk anak mereka yang baru lahir.Sebagai seorang agen insurans, adalah tugas Fify untuk melayan permintaan tersebut dan cuba untuk memberi perkhidmatan kepada pelanggan.

Fify tampil pertahankan diri dan maruahnya menerusi instastory sejak semalam. Menurutnya, dia telah difitnah dan tuduhan yang dibuat oleh Elvina itu tidak benar sama sekali.

Image via Instagram @fifyrazak

Image via Instagram @fifyrazak

Image via Instagram @fifyrazak

Fify juga mengambil tindakan dengan melaporkan perkara ini kepada pihak polis dan mengupah peguam untuk membawa kes ini ke mahkamah atas tuduhan fitnah tanpa asal usul

Image via Instagram @fifyrazak

Elvina bagaimanapun tidak berhenti di situ. Walaupun Fify telah menjelaskan segalanya secara baik, Elvina bertindak untuk marakkan lagi api yang sudah besar menyala.

Kali ini, Elvina mencabar Fify untuk tunjukkan segala bukti perbualannya bersama Datuk Haniff, yang didakwa mempunyai unsur 'menggatal'.Elvina juga turut menggelar Fify sebagai perampas, hipokrit, dan penipu.

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Elvina dan ramai netizen mendesak Fify untuk kongsikan screenshot perbualannya bersama Datuk Haniff tersebut.Namun, Fify sebenarnya telah di-blocked dan perbualan itu terus lenyap.

Rentetan perbalahan di antara Elvina dan Fify, Datuk Haniff tampil beri penjelasan dan mengaku salah

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Memetik laporan Harian Metro, Datuk Haniff berkata Elvina dan Fify tidak bersalah dan ia sebenarnya hanya salah faham. Kes ini tercetus kerana kesalahannya sendiri."Saya yang salah kerana tidak menerangkan betul-betul perkara yang berlaku. Selepas kes ini kecoh di media, saya ada menghubungi Fify untuk menjernihkan keadaan," katanya yang turut memujuk isteri.

Datuk Haniff turut mengakui pernah menghubungi Fify menerusi Instagram untuk berbincang mengenai skim insurans untuk anaknya, Karl Mateen

Namun, kes ini mula tercetus apabila Fify menghantar tanda 'Love' kepada gambar anaknya yang dikirim olehnya melalui direct message.Pengguna Instagram pasti tahu bahawa tanda 'Love' itu sebenarnya hanya sekadar 'Like' sahaja, bukan tanda cinta. Betul?

Nak dijadikan cerita, Elvina masih lagi 'menambah garam kepada luka' walaupun suaminya telah memohon maaf

Elvina teruskan dengan perbuatan memuat naik cerita yang kurang enak tentang Fify yang dikongsi oleh netizen yang tidak mahu identiti mereka didedahkan.

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Image via Instagram @elvinamohamad

Isunya sekarang ini, apa lagi yang Elvina mahu?

Elvina telah menyerang Fify secara terbuka di Instagram.Fify telah pun cuba berbincang secara baik tentang salah faham yang timbul.Datuk Haniff telah pun memohon maaf dan mengakui kesalahan.Tapi Elvina masih tak puas hati.

Malam semalam, Fify sekali lagi terpaksa membuat laporan polis kerana tindakan Elvina itu dianggap sudah melampau

Image via Whatsapp Fify Razak

Fify dengan beraninya meminta Elvina dan Datuk Haniff untuk datang ke balai polis dan buktikan dirinya salah. Namun, Datuk Haniff tetap tidak muncul.Di samping itu, Fify berkata jika benarlah dia 'menggatal' dengan Datuk Haniff, dia meminta Elvina tampil dengan screenshot perbualan tersebut dan serahkan bahan bukti yang kukuh kepada pihak polis. Jangan hanya tahu jadi 'keyboard warrior'.

Okay, tak kisahlah apa yang terjadi sekali pun, tetapi perkara ini merupakan satu kes buli siber yang amat serius.
Dan tidak keterlaluan jika saya kata Elvina sebenarnya yang mulakan pembulian ini ke atas Fify.

Kenapa saya kata begitu, di bawah saya senaraikan beberapa sebab:Pertama: Elvina menuduh bahawa Fify menghantar tanda 'Love' kepada suaminya, Datuk Haniff menerusi direct message di Instagram, walhal yang sebenarnya tanda 'Love' itu ditujukan kepada gambar anak mereka, Karl Mateen yang dikirim oleh Datuk Haniff sendiri tanpa Fify minta. Lagi pun, tanda 'Love' itu hanya memberi makna 'Like', bukannya tanda cinta.Kedua: Tanpa usul periksa, Elvina terus memuat naik status berang di Instastory sambil menuduh Fify menjadi orang ke-3 dalam rumah tangga mereka tanpa sebarang bukti, dan menjatuhkan air muka Fify dengan memuat naik gambar Fify beserta tag nama Fify. Sepatutnya, Elvina perlu menyiasat perkara ini lebih lanjut sebelum melakukan tindakan susulan.Ketiga: Fify cuba bersikap profesional dengan menghantar direct message kepada Elvina untuk menjelaskan tentang salah faham yang berlaku di antara mereka berdua. Namun Elvina tidak mengendahkan perkara tersebut dan bertindak untuk terus menuduh Fify 'menggatal' dengan suaminya.

Image via Instagram

Keempat: Selepas perbualan mereka menemui jalan buntu, Fify terpaksa membuka akaun Instagram miliknya kepada public bagi mempertahankan diri dan maruahnya yang telah tercalar. Fify juga terpaksa memberi penjelasan panjang lebar menerusi Instastory untuk tidak mengeruhkan lagi keadaan.Kelima: Elvina masih tidak boleh menerima penjelasan yang dibuat oleh Fify, lalu marakkan lagi salah faham mereka ke tahap yang lebih tinggi dengan memuat naik lagi status panjang lebar di Instagram. Kali ini, gelaran seperti perampas, hipokrit, dan penipu turut dilemparkan kepada Fify.Keenam: Datuk Haniff tampil dan mengaku salah serta memohon maaf atas apa yang telah terjadi. Tetapi sehingga kini (ketika artikel ini ditulis), Elvina masih lagi berdiam diri tanpa mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan maaf berhubung perkara ini, walaupun dia sebenarnya yang memulakannya.Ketujuh: Fify telah berdiam diri, Datuk Haniff telah memohon maaf, tetapi Elvina masih menjaja cerita yang kurang enak mengenai Fify.

"Jangan ingat awak artis, awak sentiasa betul," tulis Fify Razak

Image via Instagram @fifyrazak

Memang benar apa yang ditulis Fify ini.Kadang-kadang, sesetengah individu yang bergelar selebriti berasa mereka adalah lebih superior daripada orang biasa. Hanya kerana populariti yang diraih dan bilangan followers di media sosial, serta kenalan 'orang besar' yang mereka ada, mereka cenderung untuk mengambil kesempatan dan berfikir bahawa mereka tidak perlu takut dan pasti akan terlepas sekiranya mereka melakukan kesalahan.Of course, bukan semua berperangai sebegitu. But you get the idea.

Dalam kes ini, Fify, seorang 'nobody' telah menjadi mangsa buli siber seorang 'somebody' iaitu artis dan juga isteri kepada seorang Datuk

Image via Instagram

Jika dilihat dari segi pengaruh, tentunya Fify akan kalah teruk dan Elvina akan menang besar. Siapalah Fify untuk melawan seorang datin yang terkenal.Namun, perkara sebegini tidak boleh diteruskan. Buli siber harus dihentikan dan pembuli yang memulakannya perlu menerima hukuman setimpal, tidak kiralah sama ada dia itu orang biasa, artis, pelakon, penyanyi, influencer, datuk, datin, atau siapa-siapa sahaja. Yang salah tetap salah!

Mungkin apa yang telah terjadi itu di luar kawalan kita. Tetapi, kita tetap boleh mengawal emosi dan tingkah laku kita terhadap sesuatu kejadian.

Saya beri dua situasi paling simple yang dipetik daripada kes ini:Situasi 1:Fify benar-benar 'menggatal' dengan suami Elvina dan ternyata mereka berdua menjalinkan hubungan rahsia di belakang Elvina.Pesalah: Fify dan Datuk HaniffTindakan: Elvina memuat naik status berang menceritakan Fify sebagai orang ke-3 dalam rumah tangganya, disertakan dengan gambar Fify dan tag nama Fify.Keputusan: Walaupun Fify bersalah kerana merosakkan rumah tangga Elvina dan suami, Elvina tetap tidak berhak untuk membuli Fify di alam maya dan menjatuhkan air muka Fify kepada khalayak ramai. Tindakan Elvina tetap salah dan jelas sekali tergolong dalam kategori buli siber.

Situasi 2:Elvina menuduh Fify 'menggatal' dengan suaminya, walhal mereka berdua sebenarnya tidak mempunyai apa-apa hubungan langsung.Pesalah: ElvinaTindakan: Elvina memuat naik status berang mendakwa Fify sebagai orang ke-3 dalam rumah tangganya, disertakan dengan gambar Fify dan tag nama Fify.Keputusan: Elvina tidak berhak untuk membuli Fify di alam maya dan menjatuhkan air muka Fify kepada khalayak ramai. Tindakannya itu tetap salah dan jelas sekali tergolong dalam kategori buli siber.

Kesimpulannya di sini, tidak kiralah apa yang terjadi dalam hidup, kita tidak berhak untuk memburukkan atau menjatuhkan air muka seseorang di media sosial sehingga memberi kesan kepada hidupnya

SAYS dimaklumkan bahawa Fify ketika ini sedang mengalami anxiety attack akibat perhatian dan cemuhan yang diterimanya sejak dua hari lalu. Dia tidak sama sekali menyangka perkara remeh ini (beri tanda 'Love' = 'Like' = double click) mampu mencetus satu salah faham besar sehingga melibatkan media.Jelas sekali Fify telah menjadi mangsa buli siber yang sangat serius dan perkara ini tidak boleh dibiarkan. Fify memohon orang ramai untuk hentikan sebarang spekulasi palsu terhadap dirinya dan berhenti menyebarkan berita fitnah ini.

Image via Instagram @fifyrazak

"Saya sangat penat. Perkara sebegini tidak pernah berlaku dalam hidup saya. Ibu bapa dan ahli keluarga saya turut terkesan membaca laporan di media yang menuduh saya merobek kebahagiaan rumah tangga seseorang. Semua itu tidak benar dan tidak berasas."Pihak polis telah pun menjalankan siasatan dan menyuruh saya untuk tenangkan diri. Saya hanya mahu berehat sekarang. Drama ini terlalu berat untuk saya tanggung dan saya harap ia dapat diselesaikan secepat mungkin," kata Fify kepada SAYS.

So, stop cyberbullying!

Image via mediaan.com

Dalam kes ini, tidak ada salahnya Fify menjual insurans kepada seorang lelaki. Jika perkara itu juga salah, jelas sekali ia melanggar konsep equality yang sepatutnya diterapkan dalam setiap bidang pekerjaan.Hanya kerana Fify seorang wanita, netizen tidak berhak menghukumnya menjadi perosak rumah tangga. Selama ini Fify menjalankan dua kerja siang malam setiap hari pun, tidak lain tidak bukan adalah untuk membantu menyara keluarganya. Itu sahaja.

You start by controlling one car with the directional buttons, getting the driver from their starting point to the end point that is shown on the map. Then the next step will be to control another car, but it takes place at the same time as the car before it (temporal paradox). The process needs to be repeated for all drivers in that area.

According to Jimu News, the incident took place on the morning of 20 October, when the father, surnamed Wang (transliteration), was not at home and his wife, surnamed Zhang (transliteration), was busy with other duties around the house. With no one keeping an eye on the little girl, she took it upon herself to do something nice for her dad and wash his "dirty" MacBook. Her mother found her submerging the device under water and squeezing shower gel onto it.

When asked why she washed the MacBook, the little girl told her mother that her father had been complaining about the amount of "garbage" in it

By the toddler's logic, she assumed that the laptop was filled with actual trash and therefore could be cleaned with soap and water. Presumably, Wang must have been talking about digital clutter.It was only when he returned home that Wang found out what his daughter had done to his RMB9,000 (RM5,851) laptop. The three-year-old device reportedly cannot be turned back on to this day."I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I wanted to beat her, but she is too young to know anything," Zhang told reporters.

4 Questions Still Left Unanswered About MH370

The discovery of the Boeing 777 flaperon on a Reunion Island beach – confirmed by PM Najib Razak to be the first physical piece of evidence since MH370 vanished en route to Beijing in March 2014 with 239 people onboard – is being said to be the start of what investigators believe will unlock the biggest mystery in aviation

The breakthrough, which in itself is quite major, could help investigators retrace the ocean currents that brought the flaperon to Réunion. However, to uncover exactly what happened to MH370, the plane's black box must be located first. According to Shawn Pruchnicki, an air safety expert at Ohio State University, the latest assessment from authorities is a key step, but it's just the first one.

"This is like having a 1,000-piece puzzle," he said, "putting one piece on the table and saying, 'What's the picture?'"Furthermore, CNN aviation analyst Peter Goelz said that based on Najib's statement, so far investigators know just one thing."It confirms the sad truth that the plane ended up in the water with all its passengers and crew and that there were no survivors, and that's the fundamental truth of today. The confirmation on how it went down is still many months away," he said."This is a very difficult investigation. It's going to continue to be one."

Q: #1. What is a flaperon and how did it float as far as Reunion?

Image via CNN

The flaperon  is a movable segment on the rear edge of the wing. It helps stabilize the plane while flying at low speeds like during takeoff and landing.While some aluminum parts of the plane are likely to sink quickly, the flaperon  is likely hollow with pockets of air, experts said. It may also have been made of a lighter composite material that gave it increased buoyancy.Calculating the 2,800-mile distance from where the debris was discovered to the suspected area investigators have been searching, the piece would have needed to travel roughly  6 miles a day over 500 days to make it to Reunion.“That's very doable. The direction of those currents in that area are counter-clockwise, so they fit that as well,” said David Gallo, an oceanographer who helped lead the underwater search for Air France 447, which crashed into the Atlantic in 2009 during a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

Q: #2. If the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), the group leading the search for the remains of MH370, knew – several months ago – that the prediction of where the MH370's debris would wash up was wrong, why did they claim otherwise?

Image via Kim Kyung Hoon/Reuters

In this report published on The Daily Beast, writer Clive Irving highlights the fact that among the people who didn’t wait for the French announcement that the Boeing 777 flaperon washed up on a beach of Réunion Island came from MAS MH370, the most significant were those leading the search for the remains of the flight at the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.According to Irving, for many a months the ATSB had been working on computer models that attempted to predict where any floating wreckage would end up. This work led them to make a widely reported prediction that wreckage would turn up on the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, last July.

From Irving's report:"The Daily Beast made repeated requests for information about the model on which this projection was based. In June, ATSB spokesman Daniel O’Malley said: "Detailed drift modeling has been undertaken to supplement the original work that identified the western coast of Sumatra as the most likely first landing for debris. The work, once finalized, will be released."This week the Australians made a startling confession: Their first computer modeling was seriously flawed, and they had known this when O’Malley made his statement. It was only after a new model was produced by a different group of oceanographers that the mistake came to light."Irving then highlights how the ATSB instantly used the location of the flaperon found on Réunion as the starting point to reverse-engineer the drift model both in distance and time to 8 March 2014, when MH370 vanished. The result has been, they said, validation of the area 1,000 miles west of Perth, Australia, where the underwater search is taking place.The ATSB also cast doubts that many other pieces of wreckage will have remained afloat for so long. However, they do not explain how it is that if over time all floating debris will sink one piece as significant as a flaperon could have remained buoyant for so long.

Q: 3. How come MH370 went so far off course?

MH370 was meant to be flying from Kuala Lumpur from Beijing when it disappeared, on 8 March last year. Shortly after taking off, the plane seemed to to turn in the opposite direction - turning around over the South China Sea, before flying back over Malaysia.It was last spotted on radar while flying over the Andaman sea, to the north of Indonesia, way off its planned route. This last sighting of the plane came just over two hours after take off, meaning the plane could have flown for many more hours before running out of fuel.At first, the area where it last made contact was searched, but eventually advanced satellite data was used to conclude that the plane came down somewhere in the Indian Ocean, to the west of Australia. This enormous search zone is almost 5,000 miles away from Beijing, in the complete opposite direction.Quite how the plane went so far off course is unknown, and we're unlikely to ever find out unless the black box flight recorder is found - and even then, there could still be questions.

        independent.co.uk

And last but the most important of them all...

Q: #4. Why did Malaysia misled Australia over what Malaysia knew about the crash from day one?

In 2014 Malaysia misled search partners looking for MH370 for a full 11 days when Kuala Lumpur insisted that the search be extended further into the South China Sea and as far as Kazakhstan when according to its then-acting minister for transport Hishammuddin Hussein, the cabinet knew the jet had flown westwards across the Malay Peninsula on the morning it disappeared from air traffic control radar while over the Gulf of Thailand.

Malaysian Forests Are Disappearing Because Chinese Love Durians Too Much

China is being blamed for causing a massive deforestation in Malaysia due to its high demand for durian

Environmentalists warned that large areas of jungle were cleared for the purpose of growing the 'king of fruits', Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported.Sophine Tann, from environmental protection group PEKA, revealed this following research on land clearances for the fruit."This deforestation for planting of durians is in preparation to meet that demand," said Tann.

Chinese citizens are especially loving Malaysia's "Musang King" because of its creamy texture and sweet taste

A Beijing fruit store owner claimed that his customers tend to "fall in love" with durian from Malaysia rather than other countries like Thailand because of the sweet taste, AFP reported."Thai durians have a stronger flavour and you tend to get sick of it after a while, but not the ones that I buy from here," said university student Liu Zelun, who buys Malaysian durian from the shop.Meanwhile, durian-flavoured food are also being sold in China including pizza, butter, salad dressing, and milk.

According to a Free Malaysia Today (FMT) report in November, Musang King prices have increased by four times within the past five years. Yet, Chinese are still willing to pay top dollar for the fruit.

To cater to the high demand, vast amounts of trees were recently chopped down in Raub, Pahang to make room for durian plantations

AFP reported that a sign placed outside of the plantation showed that Ample Harvest Produce was behind it, but the company declined to comment when contacted on the loss of trees.

Last year in Kelantan, Orang Asli set up blockades to prevent a durian plantation company from setting up a Musang King plantation. Later, the company reportedly sent thugs to destruct those blockades."We thought they were here to talk, but suddenly, they got out of their vehicles, took out their chainsaws and started destroying the blockade," president of the Jaringan Kampung Orang Asli Kelantan Mustafa Along told Malaysiakini.

According to environmentalists, deforestation for durian is also destroying the homes of wildlife

Environmental group Rimba warned that deforestation is causing the "destruction of critical habitat for wide-ranging animals such as tigers, elephants, primates, and hornbills," AFP reported.

The demand for durian in China may be high, but people are spending Rm4,100 for this Indonesian man's durian:

He claimed that he has created a "new and rare" version of durian.

A family has started a charity kiosk in Kuala Lumpur to help fellow Malaysians in need during this difficult time

Twitter user Nur Hasha took to social media to share about the kiosk recently opened by her mother that gives away food essentials to the needy."My mum has just opened a charity kiosk in honour of her parents. If anyone you know is staying around Keramat or Kampung Baru and is in need of essentials, do drop by," she tweeted.

The kiosk, which is called Pondok Sedekah Omar Zabedah (Omar Zabedah Charity Kiosk), is named after Hasha's grandparents

"My mum started this pondok as her late father was also a generous and family-loving person. He would even clear twigs on pathways so that others can walk safely," Hasha said.Speaking to SAYS, the university student said her mother started the cause because she realised many people had lost their source of income during the pandemic."My mum was interviewing potential new staff [for the family business] and she heard many of them were laid off," she said."Some people were fired and some were even willing to do any job even though they sat in a nice office before, as they have kids to feed."

Hasha's Tweet garnered over 14,000 retweets since it was posted, with netizens praising her family for the caring initiative

In those couple of days, Hasha also happily updated that her family received over RM2,000 in support.

Thank you so much for the overwhelming support!! I didn’t expect my tweet to reach out to so many people. My family appreciates each & everyone one you. If you’d like to contribute in means of donations, feel free to DM me! We’re buying more supplies tomorrow — hasha (@nurhashaidris) February 21, 2021

She added that those interested in making a contribution can donate cash or items directly to the kiosk or by messaging her on Twitter

She told SAYS that her mother is at the kiosk every day because her office is next to it, and that they would love to hear if their contributors were donating in honour of someone else.The kiosk is providing food staples such as rice, flour, sugar, salt, soya sauce, and more.

Bolehkah Meroyan Berlaku Lama Selepas Bersalin?

Masalah meroyan sebenarnya merupakan antara komplikasi utama kehamilan, dengan 1 daripada 5 wanita menghadapinya

Image via csp.edu

Walaupun pemahaman masyarakat tentang gangguan psikologi ini kian bertambah baik, masih ramai yang tidak tahu bilakah meroyan mungkin tercetus pada para ibu.Anda mungkin menjangkakan simptom meroyan muncul sejurus selepas kelahiran. Tetapi tidak semua wanita yang mempunyai masalah Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder, PMAD atau meroyan mengalami simptomnya sejurus selepas melahirkan.Sesetengah simptom bermula dalam setahun hingga 18 bulan selepas kelahiran terutamanya sewaktu perubahan hormon. Wanita ini juga mungkin mempunyai simptom yang berterusan yang tidak didiagnosis atau tidak dirawat dan dibawa ke kehamilan berikutnya.

Bilakah meroyan mungkin tercetus?

Image via motherhow.com

Masalah meroyan sebenarnya bukan sahaja berlaku selepas kelahiran. Ia boleh berlaku sewaktu kehamilan atau dalam waktu selepas kelahiran, terutamanya semasa perubahan hormon yang signifikan.Waktu perubahan hormon yang ketara tentulah sewaktu kehamilan, bersalin, dan beberapa waktu lain yang selalu dilupakan ialah ketika wanita tersebut datang haid kali pertama selepas bersalin, sewaktu melakukan pencegahan kehamilan dengan hormon, dan sewaktu berhenti menyusu. Ketiga-tiga waktu ini adalah waktu peralihan hormon yang ketara.Jika wanita tersebut hanya berhenti menyusu setelah dua tahun, bererti berlaku perubahan hormon yang ketara pada waktu tersebut juga. Jadi, wanita tersebut berisiko mengalami masalah kemurungan atau meroyan dalam bentuk lain (keresahan, obsesif kompulsif, psikosis dll) dua tahun selepas bersalin!

Mengapa wanita tidak mendapatkan rawatan?

Image via scarymommy.com

Salah satu punca wanita tidak mendapatkan rawatan ialah kerana kurang maklumat atau kurang pengetahuan mengenai masalah ini. Mereka mungkin berfikir jika simptom-simptom tidak bermula dengan segera bererti ini bukanlah masalah meroyan. Contohnya pesakit mungkin berasa murung, kerap menangis, mudah marah kepada suami, rasa serba tidak kena sewaktu bayi sudah berusia 4 bulan.Wanita yang mendapati simptom lewat mungkin tidak mengenal pasti simptom sebagai kecelaruaan mood dan keresahan perinatal. Mereka mungkin menganggapnya sebagai keletihan semata, dan tidak mendapatkan rawatan kerana memperkecilkan simptom yang mereka hadapi.Satu lagi halangan ialah rasa malu terhadap ketidakmampuan diri menguruskan bayi dan pasangan terutama jika ini adalah perubahan besar dalam personaliti dan keupayaannya. Wanita tersebut juga mungkin tidak merasa selesa bercakap dengan rakan-rakannya tentang kesedihannya apabila rakannya semua bercakap tentang kegembiraan mereka menghadapi waktu selepas mempunyai bayi.

Bagaimana mendapatkan bantuan?

Image via glamour.com

Setiap ibu bapa mungkin merasa tertekan dan penat, tetapi mereka boleh membezakannya dengan keadaan yang lebih serius melalui kekerapan, intensiti dan tempoh masa perasaan tersebut berlangsung.Jika ia berterusan, jika tempohnya lebih panjang, dan emosi anda lebih dalam daripada biasa, ini mungkin menunjukkan tanda amaran. Contohnya anda mungkin berasa terlalu tertekan sehingga tidak mahu keluar daripada rumah atau tidak membenarkan orang lain menyentuh anak anda.Sebaik sahaja seorang wanita telah mengenal pasti diri mereka mungkin mengalami masalah PMAD, dapatkan bantuan professional. Namun, satu masalah yang harus anda tahu ialah tidak semua doktor dilatih untuk mengenal pasti masalah PMAD, lebih-lebih lagi jika anda mengalami simptomnya setelah beberapa bulan bersalin. Oleh itu, pastikan anda menghubungi ahli terapi yang pakar dalam bidang ini. Anda juga boleh menyertai kumpulan sokongan dalam talian.

Meet The Local Advocate Championing For Better Sex Education In Malaysia

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

Disclaimer: The contents of this article are adult in nature. Reader discretion is advised.

Here in Malaysia, sex is still somewhat of a taboo topic — something to be talked about in hushed voices and behind closed doors.
Enter Jasmine Rajah, a Sex Positive Advocate who is aiming to change Malaysian's mentality towards sex and everything that comes with it.

Better known as Jasmine King for her sexual wellness work, she runs Jasexplains, a safe, sex positive, and educational platform that empowers individuals to make informed choices on their bodies, sexualities, and rights.Hailing from Sabah but currently based in Kuala Lumpur, she is passionate about championing for sex positivity — believing that exploring sex, pleasure, gender identity, and expressions are inherently natural and beautiful, instead of it being shameful or disgusting."No matter what your stance on sex is, I believe that we should all agree that consent, respect, and boundaries are key to any healthy relationship (romantic or not)."I enjoy creating conversations surrounding these topics. Whether it be through topic discussions via Instagram stories, the content I share on my social media, through in-person and virtual talks, discussions or workshops, or even my podcast… My aim is to normalise and localise the conversation to the Malaysian experience," shared the 32-year-old in an interview with SAYS.

Jasexplains started as a passion project, something that Jasmine wanted to do outside of her day job, but quickly took on a life of its own and is becoming a career that she's pursuing

What started as a platform to normalise sex positive conversations slowly became a space to celebrate self worth, confidence, and appreciation of all bodies and sexual experiences and values," said Jasmine, explaining how the page has grown.On average, her readers are in the late 20s to early 40s age range, with many of them having grown up being exposed to fear-based or abstinence-based sex education. According to Jasmine, growing up with this teaching has impacted her readers as well as herself greatly, and often, not in a positive way."To grow up thinking that sex and pleasure is something we should shy away or be afraid of because they're dirty and wrong is very confusing. Some of my readers would ask me, 'How can something that feels so good be so wrong?' So, I wanted to explore that with them and to break the stereotype that we need to look or be a certain way to be worthy of love and desire," she explained.In addition to the informative and educational topics she talks about, Jasmine also uses Jasexplains to shine a spotlight on real life experiences such as slut shaming, sexual harassment, boundaries not being respected, sexual performance anxiety, porn expectations, and more.By doing this, she hopes that her platform will serve as a healing space for her readers, and also for herself, as these are things that she has experienced personally.

Beyond Jasexplains, Jasmine also champions for sex positivity and education in different ways. This includes running a podcast, as well as various ad-hoc programmes and events.

Her podcast, I Wish Someone Told Me, features raw, unfiltered conversations with fellow Asians on their sexual journeys or work in sexual wellness. People she has spoken with range from normal everyday folks to advocates who champion for sexual empowerment and bodily autonomy.The Penampang native strongly believes in sex education for the younger generation. In her opinion, age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education is a way to empower children, youths, and adults in making informed decisions about their bodies as a way to protect themselves against predators.As such, Jasmine used to run Girls' Circle sessions in Fugee School, which were aimed towards empowering refugee girls aged 13 to 19 to be confident, resilient, and brave young women. The sessions provided a safe space for the students to share their thoughts on life and school, be reminded of their boundaries and worth, be equipped with self development tools, and be inspired by real life stories of other refugee girls living in Malaysia.

Recalling some events that she's particularly proud of, Jasmine detailed, "One of my proudest achievements was organising a webinar session alongside ONE featuring sexuality educators, advocates, and influencers from Southeast Asia. We had speakers from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam with over 100 participants tuning in, which was really cool."Another achievement was speaking at an international sexuality festival featuring Asian speakers from all over the world which happened during MCO. That experience opened many opportunities to me and truly shaped Jasexplains to what it is today, which I am truly grateful for."

Through her various experiences of answering Malaysians questions about sex, Jasmine has seen first-hand the consequences of not having proper sex education

She told SAYS just some of the real-life examples she has experienced:"A few years ago I went to a secondary school to teach about sex education, specifically on healthy and unhealthy relationships. A student came up to me and told me about her ex-boyfriend who did not agree with their breakup and harassed her non-stop, telling her how he would tell her family that they had a sexual relationship even though they didn't. It was only after attending my talk that she realised what was happening to her wasn't normal — it was harassment and abuse."In the same school, another student asked me if it was true that you wouldn't get pregnant if you've just started having sex. The student and his partner were sexually active, and he genuinely believed that she wouldn't get pregnant because they were each other's firsts. So, all the while, they had never worn any condoms. Luckily, she never got pregnant."I also had an adult client who experienced a sex injury that led to her having to go to the hospital. It was caused by trying to copy sex positions she and her husband saw in porn. She told me she wasn't comfortable with some of the positions because it was tough and uncomfortable for her, but she didn't feel like she had a say because she didn't want to disappoint her husband."

Having these experiences is a huge part of why Jasmine believes that a lot needs to be done in order to improve sex education in Malaysia

What she thinks would help to create more awareness and support for sex education is changing the language around it.For example, using terms such as 'Comprehensive Sexuality Education' (CSE) or 'age-appropriate sex education', which give more context in comparison to a blanket term, thus expanding the definition of what sex education truly is.She also emphasised the importance of ensuring that teachers are not only well-equipped and trained to teach these topics, but also know how to create a safe and judgement-free space for their students.Plus, the lessons themselves should be age-appropriate as per UNFPA's international technical guidance on sexuality education.Some of the topics in the guidance include:- Relationships- Values, rights, culture, and sexuality- Violence and staying safe- The human body and development- Sexual and reproductive health

On the flip side of things, the most difficult part of Jasmine's journey as a Sex Positive Advocate is having to deal with something that no one should have to face — unwanted sexual comments and advances

Image via @thejasexplains (Instagram)

Speaking on her personal experiences, she elaborated, "I think the biggest challenge is meeting people who do not see me for the work that I do, but rather, they see me as someone who because I am openly talking about these topics, I am automatically open to sexual advances and am expected to say yes to them."This is the downside of being a sex educator, especially a female educator; though this experience is not unique to women alone, it happens to just about all sex educators and advocates."In the past, I used to find myself wanting to respond to everyone's messages and inquiries because I genuinely want to help. I have since stopped doing that and have been very selective to whom I respond to, especially if I find their messages suspicious."

Despite it all, Jasmine remains passionate about her chosen career and is pushing full steam ahead on her mission to educate Malaysians.
Her one piece of advice? That everyone should prioritise their sexual and reproductive health.

"Don't just visit doctors when there are problems or when you want to conceive, but actively check up on yourself."If you are someone who is sexually active either in a monogamous relationship or a casual one with multiple partners, going for STD testing and screening is important. The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) recommends testing to be done at least once a year or in between partners. For those who have multiple partners, testing twice a year would be good."It's important to know that HIV/AIDS isn't the only one you should think about, there are other STIs and STDs out there too. Early detection is key. It reduces the chances of further infection and allows treatment to take place immediately to prevent complications in the future," she said.

4 Times The Power Of The Internet Reunited Long-Lost Family Members In 2018

Being apart from your family for decades, with no idea where they are or how to contact them, is hard to imagine.
This is unfortunately the reality for some people, who have spent most of their lives looking for long-lost loved ones.

Image via GIPHY

Every so often though, a story of separation ends with celebration - some families have been lucky enough to find their way back to each other.As of late, many owe their miraculous reunions to the power of the Internet.

Here are four remarkable reunion stories from this year that may never have taken place without the world wide web:

1. This Malaysian has the Twitterverse to thank for finding her biological mother in time for her wedding

On 5 March, Ayu Razak took to Twitter to ask for help in finding her long-lost biological mother.The 22-year-old was about to get married and wanted her birth mother and biological family to attend her wedding. She included what little information she knew about the woman and old photographs of her in her tweet.

Assalamualaikum warga twitter. Nak mintak tolong, saya tgh cari mama kandung saya. Nama Siti Rozani dari Sandakan, Sabah. Itu je yg saya dpt info. 1995 kerja dkt Shin Etsu, seksyen 26 shah alam. Skrg saya dah 22 tahun, getting married this year. Hrp mama ada masa majlis nanti  pic.twitter.com/fYadDzg8gf— yun (@ynrazak) March 5, 2018

Barely 18 hours after posting the tweet, Ayu received a direct message from her biological aunt, who immediately put her in contact with her birth mother.Later that night, the pair reunited after 22 years apart!

2. Hong Kong actor Anthony Wong found brothers he never knew he had after fans took his search for family to Facebook

Anthony’s father, Frederick William Perry left Anthony and his mother in Hong Kong when he was just four years old. In an interview with BBC in February, Anthony said that his father's departure left him struggling with his identity.Inspired by his story, several of Anthony's fans set up a movement to help him search for his dad on Facebook. Days later, on 2 March, someone tracked down his father's other sons, twins John and David Perry, who lived in Australia.

On 20 March, Anthony got to meet his newly found half-brothers in Hong Kong for the first time!Anthony called the experience "the beginning of a new journey," while John and David said that their father, who died in 1988, would have been pleased to know that the brothers had found each other.

3. A couple's 24-year search for their missing daughter ended after an image of a police sketch went viral

Wang Mingqing and his wife Liu Dengying were working at their roadside fruit stall in Chengdu, China when their daughter Qifeng disappeared on 8 January 1994, reported Straits Times.21 years later, Wang, a driver for ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing, gave out business cards with information and a photograph of his daughter to all his passengers.After local news media caught wind of Wang's search, the story quickly went viral in late 2017. A police sketch artist drew what Qifeng might look like in present day, and the image soon circulated far and wide online.

The sketch eventually reached a 27-year-old woman from Jilin, who had been adopted after she was found on the side of a road in Chengdu as a child.After results of a DNA test confirmed that Kangying was a 99.9% match, she and her family travelled to reunite with her biological parents."It's like the people in my dreams have walked into reality and are standing in front of me," said Kangying.

4. YouTube brought this 66-year-old man in India back to his long-lost family after 40 years

In 1978, 26-year-old Khomdram Gambhir Singh left his home in Imphal, Manipur after separating from his wife. Having gone into a depressive state after his marriage fell apart, he lost contact with his family for four decades, BBC reported.A video of him singing a popular Bollywood song in Mumbai, which went viral once it was posted on YouTube, caught the attention of a local association in Imphal. His family and the Mumbai police were then informed.

[PHOTOS] M'sians Are Dumbfounded That A Wooden Jetty In Sarawak Cost RM50,000 To Build

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

Malaysians are demanding answers from the Sarawak Works Department (JKR Sarawak) after it handed over a RM50,000 wooden jetty to the local village chief in Miri, Sarawak

In a Facebook post last Friday, 8 April, the department uploaded a photo of the jetty's handing over ceremony.A representative from the engineering division, Fatin Fahsha Binti Adenan, is seen unveiling the whopping RM50,000 jetty to Sediah Abdullah, the village head of Kampung Mutap, Bekenu."The project started on 7 March 2022 and was completed earlier than the schedule on 1 April 2022. This jetty was built to replace the old jetty that was damaged and could no longer be used," it said."The RTP DUN N71 Bekenu project (to) build a new jetty (in) Kampung Mutap is one of the projects under the supervision of JKR Miri with a project cost of RM50,000. The scope of work for the project involved the construction of a 1m wide x 15m long jetty."With the completion of the jetty, JKR Sarawak continued that residents in the area can carry out their daily activities easily, especially during floods, as it can be used as an alternative route to the Bekenu Market.

The post with multiple photos have since gone viral with over 8,100 likes and 5,700 shares

It also attracted over 10,000 comments, with many of them questioning the high cost of the simple structure by the river."The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), please investigate. Is it true that the price of the (jetty) is RM50,000?" a netizen commented."May the people in the government body who are not trustworthy be replaced with people who are more intelligent and have noble morals, Amin," added another Facebook user."Congratulations, it's not easy to complete a project like this. It should cost RM500,000. Thankfully, (we) got a responsible, trustworthy, and honest contractor who managed to complete this project with only RM50,000. Respect," a person said sarcastically.

Image via Facebook

After the issue blew up, the Sarawak Works Department issued a statement to defend the high cost of the jetty

It cited the high material cost of belian timber as the reason behind the RM50,000 project."JKR Sarawak's estimated cost is based on the JKR Sarawak Schedule of Rates for the Year 2020 with a rate of RM9,000 per meter cube for belian timber, [which] is apparently lower than the current market rate," it said in a statement dated yesterday, 10 April."In establishing the cost of RM50,000, various factors had been carefully taken into account, inter alia, the condition of road access (Jalan Ladang) to Kampung Mutap, logistics, as well as safety measures, considering that the area is infested with crocodiles. With [a] budget of RM50,000, JKR Sarawak managed to design the jetty up to 15m in length with two staircases."It added that the village head initially asked for a 30m long jetty that comes completed with a timber shed, but she was told that it was not possible due to the "limited" budget."As a consequence, the village head agreed to a design that is within the allocated budget. In view of the budget constraint, the village head shall request additional funding from the local [member of parliament] to carry out Phase 2 of the jetty," it stated.Bukit Balat Company is the contractor of the project, which was chosen via balloting during a tender meeting.

Father Gets 203 Years' Jail And 24 Strokes Of Rotan For Raping His Daughter 14 Times

Sandakan Sessions Court Judge Egusra Ali has slapped a total of 203 years jail and 24 strokes of caning on a Sandakan resident who pleaded guilty of raping his daughter 14 times, The Star reported

The man, aged 44, committed the offences at his house at Kampung Linayukan in Tongod between 20 November 2014 to 5 January 2015. His daughter was just 12 years old then. He was charged under Section 376 (3) of the Penal Code.While deputy public prosecutor Mohd Faizal Bin Md Noor told the court that the victim was raped more than 14 times by her father, she could only recall being raped 14 times.According to reports, some rapes took place when the other children of the accused were not at home while some incidents happened when they were at home but did realize that their father was raping the victim.

According to The Borneo Post:

The court was told that the 12-year and three-month-old victim was first raped around 8am on November 20, 2014. The second and third incidents happened around 3pm and 8pm on November 21, 2014. The fourth time was around 8am the following day.She was also raped twice on November 25, 2014 at around 11am and 11pm. The victim was raped for three consecutive days at 8am on November 26, 2014, at 2pm on November 27, and around 9am on November 28.The father raped her daughter four times on December 21, 22, 24 and 25 around 6pm, 2pm, 11.30pm, 11.30pm respectively. She was raped for the last time around 10am on January 5, this year, the court heard.

        theborneopost.com

It was the victim's mother (the man's wife) who lodged a police report on 27 May this year after realising that her daughter is pregnant. Further investigation revealed that the victim, who is currently under the care of Welfare Department for protection and counseling purposes, was into her 26th week of pregnancy.
The father, however, who was not represented during the case, will spend only 21 years in jail as the sentences are to run concurrently.

When A Chinese Guy Went Above And Beyond His Duty To Foster An Orphaned Malay Girl

Meet Stanley Yeong, he works as a Marine Salvage Diver and a Recreational Pilot. He is also a shining example of a true Malaysian.

Image via Stanley Yeong

Three years ago, when the Rohingyas were drifting in shoddy boats in the Andaman Sea and the Straits of Malacca, Stanley Yeong led a group of KL based activists to help the stranded migrants at sea.
A commendable act of kindness and courage, but that's what this story is about. It's about how this kindhearted man raised his Malay-Muslim foster daughter since she was nine years old.

Image via Stanley Yeong

Stanley recently shared about his experience on Facebook

According to his Facebook note, which starts off with, "Today, I picked up enough courage to share one of my secrets", the little girl is now a grown up woman and is married.In the past week, Stanley's Facebook post has gone viral as he shared the story of how his handyman and wife perished in a road accident. This caused him to symphatise with the situation of their daughter, as she was left without the care of her parents.He subsequently fostered the girl and looked after her in terms of her well-being, welfare, and finances. According to the post, Hayati's late father Sudin assisted Stanley when he laid the pipeline for the supply of clean water from Jerantut River to Taman Negara several years ago. Stanley shared in his post that the pipeline was part of a programme by the state government of Pahang to improve the livelihood of those in the rural areas.Hence, when Sudin and his wife died in a car accident a few years ago, Stanley recognised the responsibility he could play in another person's life. He took the late couple's daughter under his own care, as his own.

Today, Hayati has her own family and runs a food business in Kota Baru with the help of her in-laws. But her's isn't a smooth-sailing story as she encountered several struggles while growing up.

Image via Stanley Yeong

When Hayati turned 12, she had troubles registering for a Malaysian identity card because her birth parents never registered her at birth. The process was an arduous one and it took two years but with the help of a senior police officer from Tumpat, Hayati was finally able to obtain her identity card. Hence, her story has been filled with kind people who have helped her along the way in her life.

        vulcanpost.com

Stanley writes that it took him "hours deliberating whether to share this secret" of his. After giving it much thought and seeing how Yati is with him now, he decide to share this story thinking that others who will read this could be encouraged to do good in their life.

"It would also bring positive thoughts and change in the present tense situation facing Malaysia with extremist views threatening peace and harmony." He expressed hope that people who read the posting would be moved to spread goodwill among the races.  "In humanity, we are to be colour blind. We are not to look at their religion or culture. We are all created by God. Therefore, let's foster this goodwill and friendship among the races and allow our wounds to heal, so that peace and harmony may prevail."

        theantdaily.com

It's important to note that Stanley was in no way obligated to take Yati under his care when her parents died. But he knew what it's like to grow up without one's parents.
Stanley lost his own parents when he was young and grew up in an orphanage house. Perhaps it was his own life story that caused him to have compassion for another child who was orphaned.

Image via Stanley Yeong

He could have let the difference in race stand in the way and let her be picked up by a foster home or her parents' relatives. Yet, his humanity spoke louder and he took care of the orphaned child, right until she was big enough to fend for herself. Even so, Yeong did not publicise his selfless act all these years,  until he saw the need to tell everyone about it now. For that, he deserves kudos from all peace-loving Malaysians. A timely move indeed, Malaysians need to be reminded that we have co-existed all along, and will continue to – be damned with provocateurs.Every race that calls this nation home, forms pillars that holds up the nation to where it is today. For one race to try and knock down another is akin to removing one leg off a table - the structure will collapse.
