M'sian Bakat List #3: This 21-Year-Old From Subang Jaya Stopped Studying To Be A Pro Gamer

Getting paid to play computer games for a living sounds like the cushiest job in the world. All you need to do everyday is wake up, start up the machine, and get to work.

Personal hygiene is also optional.

But there's a great deal more to making a living from gaming than meets the eye, as told by Eric Sia, a 21-year-old professional gamer from Subang Jaya

In 2014, Sia decided to become a professional gamer while he was studying for O-Levels. It was a really difficult decision to make, to say the least.

"I decided to become a professional gamer in 2014 while I was still studying for O-Levels. It was a really tough decision to make, as I had to sacrifice my studies and the money spent on my education," he told us.

However, he took the step of faith and the rest, as he says, is history. The 21-year-old is now gaming professionally with Kuala Lumpur Hunters, a local eSports team specialising in the game League Of Legends.

"I started gaming when I was 13 years old, Dota was the first game I was hooked on. But my buddies and I eventually grew tired of it and decided to move on to League of Legends," Sia said.

At first, Sia's friends and family reacted to his career choice with surprise. But that all changed when his team won a major competition.

Sia said, "My friends were surprised when they heard of my career choice of being a professional gamer, it was something really uncommon in our culture. As for my family, they weren't very supportive at first. But it all changed after my team became champions at last year's TLC Winter Season."

The life of a professional gamer isn't all about fame and fortune though, it requires uncommon discipline and perseverance. To maintain his high standards, Sia trains up to 15 hours a day.

"I wake up at 11 in the morning to wash up, prepare and play solo queue (individual training) until dinner time, which is around 7pm. After dinner, I’ll play scrims (sparring and team training) with my coach until approximately 11pm. My 'office hours' ends after midnight. However, I will usually take a short break and continue my own training session until 4AM," Sia said.

His hard work has paid off as Kuala Lumpur Hunters currently stand at 3rd place in the Garena Premier League (GPL)

Founded in 2012, Garena Premier League (GPL) is a professional League of Legends league with teams in Southeast Asia. There are currently 16 teams in the league.Sia regards the current standing of the team as his biggest achievements to date. "When the team first started, things were pretty shaky but we managed to pull through and improved after playing together for such a long period of time."

Ultimately, Sia is really grateful to live out his dream out as a professional gamer and thanks the captain of the team for recognising his talent

Image via Kuala Lumpur Hunters

"The person who brought me to Kuala Lumpur Hunters is the current captain of the team, Poon 'OzoraVeki' Kok Sing. I thank him for recognising the talent I have for the game. Also, I am very happy to game for a living because not everyone can pursue a career as a professional gamer like myself and the rest of Kuala Lumpur Hunters," he said.

Setiap orang ada ceritanya dan semua pun ada matlamat yang sama, iaitu mencari hasil dalam setiap pekerjaan yang dilakukan

Image via Astro Awani

Setiap hari, kita akan bangun pagi untuk mencari rezeki, meninggalkan keselesaan rumah dan membanting tulang untuk memenuhi keperluan. Tidak kiralah sama ada pekerja biasa, peniaga, mahupu pemuzik, semua pun mempunyai matlamat yang sama.Laluan bagi setiap orang sememangnya berbeza. Setiap orang perlu menghadapi dugaan dan cabaran untuk berjaya.

Altimet, rapper berpengaruh dan popular di arena industri muzik tanah air pernah menghadapi masa yang sukar dalam berkarya

Image via wanista

Altimet atau nama sebenarnya Ahmad bin Abdul Rahman sentiasa inginkan yang terbaik dalam menghasilkan lagu. Setiap hari beliau akan bekerja keras kerana beliau sedar bukan mudah untuk terus survive dalam dunia rapping.Walaupun berdepan dengan pelbagai cabaran, Altimet tidak pernah mengaku kalah. Kegigihannya selama ini telah menjadikan beliau antara rapper paling dihormati dan disegani dalam industri rap tanah air.

Image via Instagram @altimet

"Saya harus bekerja keras supaya saya juga dapat menjadi di antara yang terbaik. Saya masih mencuba dan saya akan sampai jua ke sana," kata Altimet.

Warga kota dan rakyat marhaen turut mempunyai kisah hustle mereka sendiri.
Altimet terjah beberapa orang di Kuala Lumpur untuk mengetahui kisah dan cabaran di sebalik senyuman mereka.

1. Lelaki ini kehilangan ayahanda tercinta semasa beliau masih remaja. Dia sentiasa ingat dan berpegang teguh kepada nasihat yang diberi oleh ayahnya dahulu.

Image via NESCAFÉ

"Ayah saya selalu pesan, 'Kalau perkara itu semakin sukar, teruskan saja. Jangan berhenti, jangan toleh ke belakang. Awak yang menentukan langkah seterusnya'. Kata-kata itulah yang memotivasikan saya setiap hari," katanya.Beliau merupakan satu-satunya harapan keluarga dan setiap langkah perjuangannya kini adalah kerana ibu bapanya.

2. Demi mengejar impian sebagai pelukis, bapa tunggal ini sanggup meninggalkan kerja tetap

Image via NESCAFÉ

"Saya mula bekerja pada pukul 10 pagi sehingga pukul 11 malam. Namun kadang-kadang, saya terpaksa balik lambat sehingga pukul 1 pagi demi mengejar deadline."Anak-anak saya adalah motivasi saya. Sebagai bapa tunggal, saya perlu bangun awal setiap hari untuk menguruskan mereka terlebih dahulu. Apa yang utama ialah mencari rezeki yang halal. Saya bersyukur kerana mampu mencari rezeki dengan bakat yang Allah beri kepada saya," katanya.

3. Anak muda ini mula berniaga sejak berusia 18 tahun demi menyara keluarganya yang tidak hidup mewah

Image via NESCAFÉ

"Saya datang daripada keluarga yang susah. Perkara itulah yang memotivasikan saya untuk berniaga dan terus berjuang," katanya.Walaupun berdepan cabaran untuk berinteraksi dengan segelintir pelancong, anak muda ini tetap gagahkan diri dan cuba untuk memberikan servis yang terbaik kepada mereka.

4. Wanita ini mengambil masa satu jam untuk travel ke tempat kerja setiap hari

Image via NESCAFÉ

Menetap di ibu kota Kuala Lumpur sememangnya memerlukan kos sara hidup yang tinggi. Perkara itu sedikit sebanyak mendorong wanita ini untuk meneruskan kehidupan sehariannya selain ingin membantu keluarganya.“Niat saya bekerja setiap hari adalah untuk diri saya sendiri, selain itu saya juga ingin membantu kedua ibu bapa saya dan keluarga saya," katanya.

Setiap orang ada cabaran tertentu yang perlu diharungi setiap hari. Namun, semuanya 'hustle demi hasil' demi menjamin hari esok yang lebih baik.

Menerusi kisah perjuangan the real hustlers ini, Altimet bersama NESCAFÉ Blend & Brew percaya bahawa sama ada anda pemuzik, ibu bapa, peniaga, atau pun pekerja biasa, pastinya ada matlamat yang ingin anda capai dalam hidup.

Did You Know The Nepal Earthquake Made Mt. Everest Move About 3CM?

Mt. Everest, the world's highest peak, was moved about 3 centimetres (1 inch) southwest by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that devastated Nepal in April, Chinese authorities say

This side-by-side comparison shows Mount Everest before and after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake on 25 April.
Image via NASA Earth Observatory/LIVE Science

The 7.8-magnitude quake reversed the gradual northeasterly course of the world’s highest peak, which straddles Nepal and China, the National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation found. But its height — usually given as 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) — was unchanged by the disaster, according to the research, published in Chinese state media.

        discovery.com

The Chinese administration had set a satellite monitoring system on the peak in 2005 to observe the movement of the mountain.
In the decade since, Mt. Everest has moved 40cm to the northeast at a speed of 4cm a year, and risen 3cm over the same period.

However, that growth was all but wiped out following the quake, as satellite data, which was released by the European Space Agency, showed that the natural disaster made Everest shrink by 2.8 centimeters. The lowering is explained by a relief of strain in the Earth’s crust, the agency said citing UNAVCO, a nonprofit geoscience research consortium.

        rt.com

Basically, the earthquake reversed the direction of the mountain, shifting it to roughly where it would have been 9 months earlier

Nepal rests on a major fault line between two tectonic plates — one bearing India pushing northward into a plate carrying Europe and Asia at a rate of about two centimeters (three-quarters of an inch) per year — the process that created the Himalayas.Roger Bilham, professor of geological science at the University of Colorado, agreed with the Chinese findings. But he said the focus should not be on Everest, calling the peak “a lump of uneroded rock that just happens to have survived a little bit higher than all the other rocks in the Himalaya.”“The Everest region was a mere bystander, and was pulled slightly by this movement by a few centimeters south and a little bit down,” he told AFP in an email.

        discovery.com

Meanwhile, near Kathmandu, above the slipping fault, the ground was lifted by 2 meters, Richard Briggs of the U.S. Geological Survey told Live Science, but further north the ground abruptly dropped

"Movements on this fault will have affected nearby faults, and some of the faults will be promoted closer to failure [causing a quake], and some will be pulled further away from failure," Briggs said."The trouble we have is the timing part. We don't know where all these faults are in their kind of 'clocks' and how close they were to kind of going anyway."

A 17-Year-Old Was Admitted To ICU In Labuan Over Suspected Vaping-Related Lung Injury

On Monday, 4 November, a 17-year-old boy was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Labuan Nucleus Hospital in Labuan

New Straits Times reported today, 9 November that the 17-year-old boy was admitted with breathing difficulties initially thought to have been caused due to his asthma.However, doctors at the ICU have since diagnosed the teenager with suffering severe internal lung injuries, rhabdomyolysis, and kidney failure.Additionally, Labuan Health Department director Dr Ismuni Bohari said that further investigation revealed that the teenager had been vaping two weeks prior to falling ill.According to a Malay Mail report on Friday, 8 November, it is the first such case in Malaysia where someone was warded for severe internal lung damage suspected to have been caused by vaping.

In a statement to Bernama, Dr Ismuni said that there could be multiple reasons, including vaping, behind the boy's condition while appealing to the public not to speculate as investigations were continuing

"Our investigations also revealed the boy was not only suffering from severe internal lung injuries but could also be due to autoimmune disease caused by chemical exposure or vaping," the director of the Labuan Health Department was quoted as saying by Malay mail yesterday.He, however, added that the real cause has yet to be determined as they are still examining his injuries and that the doctors were still waiting for the results from lab tests.The Star quoted Dr Ismuni saying that while the boy was recovering, he is still in ICU.

Meanwhile, the Health Ministry is reportedly studying whether to implement a full ban on vape or electronic cigarettes following a worrying rise in the vaping habit among youths in the country

Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye was reported saying that the ministry has set up a special committee to study and formulate a special bill on the control of vape and e-cigarettes in Malaysia."We are looking at some countries that have banned e-cigarettes. However, these are still available online and are even sold openly in these countries," he was quoted as saying by Daily Express.According to the daily newspaper from Sabah, some 50 associations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) throughout the country have signed a memorandum to urge the government to impose a total ban on the use of e-cigarettes and vaping immediately.

Vaping-related illness is a new condition that has not yet fully been understood by the medical community. It has so far been confined to the United States, where over 2,000 cases have been recorded.

A report by Bernama said that the public health institute of the United States (US), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has said that that the number of deaths from a mysterious lung illness linked to the use of e-cigarettes has risen to 39 in the US.Responding to the Bernama report, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said that the ministry is aware of the vaping-related illness abroad and will continue to monitor the situation here."The Health Ministry is monitoring all the vape related illness abroad and locally," he said, adding that the ministry would take the necessary steps to deal with the situation.

Home Minister Pays Tribute To Frontliners As Over 10,000 PDRM Personnel Go Into Quarantine

Over 10,000 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel across the country have been placed under quarantine, according to Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin

"The COVID-19 pandemic is becoming more concerning and many frontliners have been exposed to the possibility of being infected by the virus," he said in a statement today, 27 October.According to Bernama, the Home Minister said out of the large number of affected officers, at least 200 of them have tested positive for the coronavirus and are currently under treatment.He said the high rate of infection among members of the police is straining the force's manpower and resources at maintaining national peace and security.

Hamzah said police personnel had been the most exposed to COVID-19 since the pandemic began due to the nature of their work

He said that frontliners have always been closest physically to the public - especially in red zones to conduct operations and roadblocks - and many of whose COVID-19 status have yet to be determined."Although they wear face masks, the duty of police officers requires them to communicate closely with the people," he said, as quoted by Harian Metro."Social distancing is not easy to practise perfectly when they are carrying out their duties."He added that there were members of the police more at risk as they have been tasked to assist immigration authorities at the country's borders to prevent the entry of illegal immigrants.

The Home Minister called on Malaysians to heed the advice of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and appreciate the sacrifices of frontliners in this fight against the pandemic

"We are running out of time and now is not right for politicking or lobbying for support for certain individuals to become the Prime Minister," Hamzah said.According to The Star, Hamzah paid tribute to the police force who have been working tirelessly and have not taken off days or leave in the past 10 months."Many of them have not rested or had the time to spend with their families," he said, adding that the PDRM should be given the public's utmost appreciation for battling the pandemic without regard of their own fatigue.

Remember to limit your movement and wash your hands often. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

Malaysia recorded 1,240 new cases yesterday, 26 October, as the CMCO in Selangor, Putrajaya, and Kuala Lumpur was extended:

"I hope that this opportunity will help break boundaries and stereotypes. I also hope that together we can redefine the meaning of what beauty is," she added."I prayed that if this opportunity is good for me and my religion, then I wanted God to let it happen. If it wasn't, then I wanted Him to turn me away from it," Nurul wrote in another Instagram post.

Born in Ampang, Nurul was raised in New Zealand by her Malaysian father and Indonesian mother since she was five years old

New Straits Times reported that the 20-year-old, who is a published poet, currently studies Psychology at the University of Waikato in the country's North Island.

Stick to your culture and your traditions because it's such a shame when people assimilate to fit in. Be proud of all that you are."

Though she is not the first hijab-wearing Muslim to compete in a Miss Universe pageant, Nurul creates history as the first Malaysian to do so

Juice Online reported that Somali-British Muna Jama and Somali-American Halima Aden donned headscarves in Miss Universe Great Britain and Miss Minnesota USA respectively.

Menu 'Fusion' Malaysia-Palestin Di Kafe Ini Akan Buat Anda Lupakan Hasrat Untuk Diet

Curious untuk tahu bagaimana rasanya masakan Palestin?

Image via onedio

Begitu juga kami apabila menerima jemputan untuk mencuba menu fusion menarik di Spiced Pumpkin Cafe!

Bertempat di Seksyen 3 Shah Alam, Spiced Pumpkin Cafe mendapat inspirasi untuk menyajikan masakan Palestin daripada arwah suami salah seorang pemilik kafe ini

Image via Spiced Pumpkin Cafe

Kafe ini diasaskan oleh dua kawan baik Mas dan Nur, dan masakan Arab yang dihidangkan di sini diilhamkan oleh resipi arwah suami Nur yang berasal dari Palestin dan memang gemar memasak.

Image via Spiced Pumpkin Cafe

Citarasa tempatan tidak dilupakan di kafe ini. Spiced Pumpkin turut menghidangkan masakan Melayu dengan sentuhan unik yang betul-betul menggamit selera.

Image via Spiced Pumpkin Cafe

Anda mungkin akan perasan hidangan berinspirasikan masakan Amerika Selatan turut dimuatkan di dalam menu kafe ini, terutamanya dengan hidangan seperti nachos dan juga sos tres leches yang merupakan signature di kafe ini.

Berikut adalah antara hidangan wajib-cuba di Spiced Pumpkin Cafe:

Nasi Maqlubah

Image via SAYS

Nasi Arab yang menyerupai kek ini merupakan signature dish di sini, dan sesuai dikongsi sekeluarga atau bersama kawan-kawan.

Image via SAYS

Pilih daripada Nasi Maqlubah Ayam atau Kambing tetapi yang pastinya, kedua-duanya memang sedap, dengan nasinya yang dihidangkan dengan ayam dan kambing yang moist dan juicy, dan dilengkapkan lagi dengan taburan kekacang dan kismis.

Image via SAYS

Nasi Maqlubah ini mengambil masa lebih kurang 30-45 minit untuk dihidangkan jadi untuk anda yang tidak mahu menunggu, bolehlah membuat advanced booking sebelum menuju ke kafe ini.

Lontong Kering Dendeng Paru

Image via SAYS

Hidangan ala Johor ini menggabungkan lontong goreng dengan dendeng paru dan diserikan lagi dengan serunding dan lobak merah segar. Cicah dengan sedikit sambal untuk lebih kick!

Tres Quesos Pita Nachos with Jalapenos and Beef Bacon

Image via SAYS

Menggunakan roti pita yang digoreng hingga rangup, nachos ini dibanjiri dengan tiga jenis keju dan ditabur dengan beef bacon dan jalapenos. Lain macam sedapnya!

Pilihan desserts di kafe ini ternyata lain dari yang lain. Kalau hidangan savoury di sini merupakan gabungan selera Palestin, Malaysia, dan Amerika Selatan, kuih-muihnya pun turut begitu!

Image via SAYS

Inilah antara desserts paling menarik di kafe ini:

Kunafa

Image via SAYS

Manisan tradisional Palestin ini menggunakan pastry parut rangup yang diisi adunan keju dan krim, dan dilengkapkan dengan sirap orange blossom dan taburan kacang pistachio ditumbuk halus. Gabungan perisa dan tekstur yang menarik menjadikannya kuih kegemaran kami di sini!

Image via Spiced Pumpkin Cafe

Secara tradisionalnya, Kunafa akan direndam di dalam air gula semalaman. Namun, cara ini menjadikannya terlalu manis, dan kafe ini mengambil keputusan untuk tidak merendamkan kuih ini agar tahap kemanisannya lebih sesuai dengan selera orang Malaysia.

Kuih Lopes Tres Leches

Image via SAYS

Inilah kali pertama kami mencuba kuih lopes seperti ini! Kuih pulut yang biasanya dimakan dengan gula melaka ini diberikan nafas baru dengan gabungan sos tres leches, ais krim vanilla, gula apong Sarawak, dan taburan coconut flakes. Memang rugi kalau tak cuba!

Tres Leches Cake

Image via SAYS

Kek span Mexican-style ini dihidangkan di dalam sos tres leches dan rendaman ini menjadikan rasa kek ini seakan-akan puding roti. Sos tres leches dibuat menggunakan tiga jenis susu, dan rasanya yang manis berlemak memang sesuai digandingkan dengan kek span dihiasi buah-buahan ini.

Kafe ini juga mengambil tempahan katering untuk pelbagai jenis majlis seperti aqiqah, pertunangan, acara korporat dan sebagainya

In The Meantime... Scientists Discover 'Lost World' With Never-Before-Seen Species

Scientists have discovered a "Lost World" in a rainforest perched on boulders in a remote part of Queensland

For the past few millennia, the dewy rainforests of Australia's Cape Melville have remained totally isolated from human interference. That is, until a team of scientists from James Cook University took humanity's first steps into a land untouched by time. What they found there was almost beyond belief.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via imgur.com

Calling the unprecedented discovery a "lost world," the scientists were only able to reach the roughly two-square-mile patch of land by helicopter thanks to the "monstrous wall" of "millions of giant, piled up boulders the size of houses and cars."

        aljazeera.com

And if that's not enough of a challenge for you, this impassable monument to nature's prehistoric processes extends for a grand total of nine miles.

        gizmodo.com

How, then, did Dr. Conrad Hoskin, one of the leaders expedition, find this discovery of a lifetime? The same way we find anything these days: Google.

        voiceofrussia.com

Image: Tim Laman, National Geographic
Image via gawkerassets.com

Dr. Hoskin had known about the range for more than a decade, but the seemingly insurmountable obstacles to reaching it had limited scientists to doing research in the range's lowlands.

        skyvalleychronicle.com

With the advent of Google Earth, though, and its revelation of the lush tiny patch of green atop piles of monstrous black granite boulders, he was inspired to take a second look. But no satellite imagery could prepare him for what he was about to see.

        telegraph.co.uk

The "Lost World" has more than 400 new types of animals and plants

The second the team of NatGeo-funded scientists stepped of their helicopter, they quickly realized they were stepping down into a land actually frozen in time, the kind of stuff we've only ever been able to see in movies.

        telegraph.co.uk

The "incredible rainforest," "good earth," and "clear, flowing streams" weren't even the exciting part. The truly amazing part were the incredible creatures that had been "isolated from their closest cousins for millions of years."

        aljazeera.com

As Dr. Hoskin told The Telegraph: We're talking about animals that are ancient — they would have been around in the rainforest of Gondwana... rainforest that's been there for all time. I was just walking around along the ridge line and there was this small lizard, a skink, that was something completely new, (in the picture below).

        dvice.com

A golden-colored skink.
Image via aljazeera.com

Modern skinks generally scurry around in beds of leaves, keeping close to the ground where its safest for them. This evolutionary ancestor, though, jumps from damp, mossy boulder to mossy boulder on its hunt for insects.

        gizmodo.com

The second groundbreaking discovery was something that Dr. Hoskin had spotted transiently before but hadn't been able to identify until now—a "beautifully blotched frog with orange in [its] legs."

        cnn.com

Hoskins dubbed the incredible new amphibian the Blotched Boulder-frog for obvious reasons, and one of the most interesting things about this creature compared to its more evolved cousins is the fact that it doesn't need a pond to reproduce.

        dailymail.co.uk

A boulder-dwelling frog.
Image via aljazeera.com

This frog species needs only the moist cracks of the rocks that make up its home to lay eggs. Because there's no protective body of water, the tadpoles develop into fully formed froglets before they even start hatching.

        planetsave.com

And then, coming back by night, we saw an incredible leaf-tailed gecko. This thing was mind-blowing, completely bizarre. It's really big, around eight inches with long spindly legs and huge eyes.

        gizmodo.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

That this gecko was hidden away in a small patch of rainforest on top of Cape Melville is truly remarkable. What makes it even more remarkable is that two other totally new vertebrates were found at the same time.

        theguardian.com

A purring monkey and a flame-patterned lizard are also among the new species of animals and plants that have been discovered

Among the new species discovered is a "purring" Caqueta titi monkey (Callicebus caquetensis) of the Colombian Amazon, whose babies have an endearing trait: "All of the babies purr like cats," said scientist Thomas Defler, who helped discover the species. "When they feel very content they purr towards each other, and the ones we raised would purr to us."

        theguardian.com

A "warpainted lizard" (Gonatodes timidus) was discovered in the part of the Amazon that extends into Guyana. Despite its extraordinary colouring, this lizard is very shy and has a tendency to avoid being seen by humans.

        dvice.com

Discovered through hundreds of scientific expeditions between 2010 to 2013, the total of 441 new species – all new to science – includes 258 plants, 84 fish, 58 amphibians, 22 reptiles, 18 birds and one mammal. This tally does not include discoveries of insects and other invertebrates.

Man Robs Bank Of RM600,000 Armed With Just A Piece Of Paper

A man has stolen RM600,000 from a bank in Damansara Heights while dressed in just a T-shirt, shorts and slippers

According to a report by The Sun, the man entered the bank at 12.30pm and informed the staff that he was a technician from a fire extinguisher company. Described to have appeared calm and confident, he said that he had been appointed to inspect the serviceability of the fire extinguishers in the bank. He also asked to be allowed into the bank's restricted areas.

The man had produced a document supposedly containing the floor plan of the place and had shown it to the bank manager

Image via The Sun

However, when he couldn't produce any identification, the manager disallowed him from carrying out any so-called inspections.The manager had then left for lunch. This didn't stop the man from leaving though. He continued to remain at the bank's premises where a camera showed him loitering around the place before sneaking through a door behind the bank's counters.

He then pretended to check the fire extinguishers while slowly edging closer to the safe room where the cash was kept

The safe room in the bank can only be opened by the bank manager and the chief cashier, using a personal access code. So when the cashier walked into the safe room at one point, the man placed a magnet on the auto-lock latch of the door, stopping the latch from automatically locking once the door shuts. Just minutes after the cashier left the room, the thief was spotted on CCTV footage casually walking into the room. Stepping in, he proceeded to stuff several wads of cash into his backpack, amounting to RM600,000.

The whole process had taken just 20 minutes

Before 1pm, the man was able to walk out of the bank satisfied with over half a million ringgit in his pocket.Sources say that he had also stopped outside to have a chat with the bank's security guard, telling the guard that his staff who were supposed to help him with the inspection had failed to show up and that he would return later after fetching them. The man had apparently also had a conversation with the chief cashier while he was there. Then at about 2.30pm, the bank manager had returned from his lunch break and was told by his staff that the so-called maintenance person had left. Suspicious, he decided to check the safe room and, in doing so, found out that RM600,000 was missing.

Investigators arrested both the bank manager and chief cashier

They were freed, however, after being questioned and cleared of involvement in the case. The investigators were apparently appalled by the negligence of the bank's staff. "He neither had an identification card of any company nor was he clad in attire that technicians usually wear. He casually dressed in shorts, T-shirt and slippers. All these should have raised suspicion," sources said.Both the bank manager and chief cashier have now been suspended by the bank.

The police have now released images of the suspect that were taken from the bank's CCTV footage

Image via The Sun

The police believe the man to be in his thirties.Anyone with information on the suspect is encouraged to contact investigations officer, ASP Mohd Hafizi bin Ishak, at 017-2336343 or Brickfields police at 03-90516222.You can also call the Kuala Lumpur police hotline at 03-21159999, SMS at 32728 or contact the nearest police station.


Taiwan-Born Woman Shares How She Went On An African Safari Tour And Married Her Guide

Lu Lee-Kombe was born in Taiwan but grew up in Canada and South Korea, where she completed her studies

Her love for languages then led her to Japan, where she taught English for two years. "Having been exposed to these two different East Asian cultures, I was almost certain that I would end up living/working in Asia. But... life had different plans for me," she wrote.Her parents wanted her to either be a teacher or to work at some kind of government job. However, after trying out both, Lee-Kombe said that she didn't really want them as a permanent career.

She decided to volunteer in Tanzania, Africa where she taught English for two weeks. And in that time, she also signed up for a safari tour.

During the three-day wildlife safari camp, she met a friendly Tanzanian guy named Sam who was their safari guide.And the rest is history.

This New Crowdfunding Platform Makes Sure Your Money Goes To Legitimate NGOs

Malaysians are a generous bunch when it comes to  donations

Image via Choo Choy May/Malay Mail Online

The CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) World Giving Index, which measures how much people are giving to good causes, volunteering, and helping strangers, put Malaysia as one of the Top 20 most generous nations in its 2017 edition of the list.In fact, Malaysians prefer giving in monetary terms because they are unable to spend time volunteering. However, one of the biggest concerns donors may have is how their contributions are being spent and if their donations went to the right hands.

This is why NGOHub has introduced its new crowdfunding platform that promotes greater accountability

Image via NGOHub/SAYS

In the past, we've had SAYS readers who reached out to us to ask about how they can help by donating funds to people in need. If you are one of them, now you can through NGOHub's crowdfunding platform.To show our support, SAYS is happy to become NGOHub's official online media partner!

Image via NGOHub

While there are many NGOs out there that are doing great work among the local community for the betterment of the people, especially the poor and marginalised, their charitable efforts are sometimes stifled due to the common issues such as lack of manpower and funds.Launched in 2014, NGOHub was established by Science of Life Studies 24/7 (SOLS 24/7) Malaysia and founding partner 7-Eleven Malaysia to be the bridge that connects NGOs across Malaysia so that they don't have to struggle alone and become more self-sustainable.Since its inception, 41 NGOs have received RM102,397 worth of grants. NGOHub has taken a step further now to launch its new crowdfunding site to allow members of the public and individuals to support campaigns that have direct, positive impact on the society and environment.

Individuals can find legitimate, trustworthy NGOs and social projects to donate on this platform

Image via NGOHub/SAYS

About 500 NGOs - big and small - have registered on the NGOHub with more than 200 verified, as NGOHub strives to ensure that the public are donating to genuine NGOs and to their favourite causes.It does not discriminate against any organisations that are championing different causes - from helping underprivileged children with special needs to building homes for elderly transgender people - the public can find various campaigns and support them based on whichever cause they feel strongly about.Each campaign that is featured on the crowdfunding site will outline clearly: the problem its seeking to resolve, the strategy to address the issue, and the crowdfunding target. To strengthen the accountability and transparency of NGOs and fundraisers, NGOHub requires that they include a project reporting on their implementation so that donors have a clear idea on how their contributions are being used for the causes they supported.

How to support a cause that you are interested in:

Gay And Lesbian Culture Is "Satan's Activity To Deceive And Mislead Humans"

A public university lecturer said that the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) "culture" is merely Satan's trick to lead humans astray

Kolej Universiti Islam Selangor (Kuis) lecturer, Mohd Farid Ravi Abdullah
Image via Facebook

Mohd Farid Ravi Abdullah, a Kolej Universiti Islam Selangor (Kuis) lecturer, made the statement during the Islamic Consultative Council’s (MPI) conference yesterday, 28 February, as reported by The Malay Mail Online.  The conference was officiated by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and some of the people who were in attendance are  minister in charge of Islamic affairs Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom and his deputy Senator Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, and former Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim. He was speaking about education and social sectors, when presenting a paper on the topic of Malay-Muslim-socio-cultures. The ethnic Indian, Muslim convert is under the opinion that the LGBT community have been "confused" by Satan that "they are born with souls opposite to their genders."

"Islam has not once admitted that gay and lesbian are human nature, but it is the Satan’s activity to deceive and mislead humans."

Mohd Farid is also the Kuis Research Management Centre director. His paper also stressed that people who are LGBT must be cured. "It must be curbed and prevented earlier by giving cure and therapies that is appropriate to the LGBT community," read the paper.

Mohd Farid also believes in the conversion therapy, which involves psychological treatment and spiritual counselling to change a person's sexual orientation

Dubbed by many as a form of pseudoscience, conversion therapy, also known as "reparative therapy", is a controversial practice that seeks to change a person's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual. Human Rights Campaign has labelled this practice as dangerous and discredited it as a ploy to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity and expression. It has been rejected by most medical and mental health organisations as they believe it can lead to depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness, and suicide.A lesbian is a woman who is sexually and romantically attracted to other women, while a gay is usually referred to men who are attracted to other men. As for bisexuals, they are attracted to people of both sexes. Meanwhile, transgender is a term used to describe people whose gender identity differs from the one they are born with. Note that not all people whose appearance of behaviour is gender-atypical identify as a transgender.

It was also reported that his claims switched from Satan's trick to bad influence and lack of religious guidance

"The influence of friends play a role, that's why it is important who our kids are friends with. If their friends are good, then they will be good too," added Mohd Farid. He also expressed his disappointment that the LGBT community is made up of people who come from good education background, hold top positions and sometimes even people who serve as Islam clerics.

What do you think about Mohd Farid's statement on the LGBT community? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

The LGBTQ community continues to be shunned upon in Malaysia. In April 2016, Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIGP) Noor Rashid Ibrahim stressed that anyone who is openly LGBTQ will not be admitted into the Malaysian police force:

                Members Of LGBT Community Cannot Join Malaysian Police Force Even If Qualified, Says DIGP

"They have to adhere to the practices accepted in this country."

Selangor Cadang Untuk Jadi Pengeluar Ganja Terbesar... Tapi Bagi Tujuan Perubatan

Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Pakatan Harapan (PH) mencadangkan kepada Kerajaan Selangor agar mempertimbangkan penanaman ganja di negeri ini bagi tujuan perubatan

Image via Iluminasi

Munurut Mohd Shaid Rosli, ADUN Jeram, penanaman tanaman ganja bukan satu kesalahan jika ianya diusahakan bagi tujuan perubatan. Baklan undang-undang negara juga membenarkan perkara itu dilakukan.

ADUN Jeram, Mohd Shaid Rosli.
Image via OhBulan

“Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 menyatakan bahawa mana-mana jabatan kerajaan boleh membuat penanaman ganja bagi tujuan perubatan," katanya seperti yang dilaporkan Berita Harian.

Kajian penanaman ganja secara menyeluruh telah pun dilaksanakan oleh Pengarah Pusat Racun Negara Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Prof Datuk Dr Mohamed Isa Abd Majid.

Image via Google

Tambah Mohd Shaid, “Satu kajian bagi tanaman ganja juga pernah dibuat Prof Datuk Dr Mohamed Isa Abd Majid dengan kerjasama sebuah syarikat tempatan.“Kajian ini antara lain untuk menjadikan industri ini sebagai tanaman komersial bagi tujuan penyelidikan, perubatan serta eksport."

Cadangan tersebut telah dibahaskan pada sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Selangor pada 20 Mac yang lalu

Menurut Mohd Shaid, tanaman ganja mampu memberi pulangan besar iaitu sekurang-kurangnya RM9 juta setahun bagi keluasan tanah 0.4 hektar meliputi tiga kali proses penuaian.“Jumlah ini melebihi pulangan tanaman sawit yang hanya memperoleh sekitar RM3,000 bagi tanaman berkeluasan sama.“Diandaikan Kerajaan Selangor dapat mengusahakan lebih daripada 40 hektar, negeri ini akan jadi pengeluar tanaman ganja terbesar di negara ini," ujarnya.

Image via Tempo Dunia

Cadangan itu bagaimanapun disanggah ADUN Ijok, Dr. Idris Ahmad yang mempersoalkan masalah penyalahgunaan ganja yang mampu menghasilkan dadah lain seperti candu dan morfin yang mana adalah ubat berbahaya yang harus dikawal.

"Dan saya juga seorang doktor yang mana saya tahu masalah mengenai ubat terkawal ini yang memerlukan penguatkuasaan yang sangat baik," kata pakar perubatan itu.

Image via Mr Tengku Asmadi

Mengakui perkara itu, Mohd Shaid mencadangkan agar kawalan ketat dilaksanakan  bagi memastikan tidak ada sebarang penyalahgunaan berlaku. “Tanaman ini dicadangkan dilakukan di kawasan tertentu yang hanya boleh diakses oleh pihak tertentu sahaja. Selain itu, undang-undang perlu diperkemaskan bagi mengelakkan berlaku urus niaga di pasaran gelap,” jelasnya.

Thanks To This Special Stick, You Don't Have To Struggle To Tap Cards At Tolls Anymore

Passing through a toll plaza using a Touch 'N Go card shouldn't be too difficult but some of us do face some problems sometimes

Image via Amirul Syafiq Mohd Din/Sunpix

It's not as easy as it seems.Remember the times when you had to open your car door because you couldn't reach the card reader even after you've rolled down the window all the way?

When you're so close, yet so far. The struggle is real.

Image via Zulkarnain Ahmad Tajuddin/NST

But we, Malaysians, are a creative bunch. Some of us have found creative ways to go around it.
From using wooden spatulas...

Image via Yee Lee

Image via Yee Lee

... to using fly swatters!

Image via Carigold

Over the last few years, some creative road drivers have opted to stick or attach their Touch 'N Go card on one of these tools so that they can easily reach out to the card reader without much effort.It's a nifty life hack that has proved to be very useful for those who struggle to reach the card reader at the toll plaza.It may sound funny and ridiculous to use something like a fly swatter, but it is actually a very practical method that has been tried and tested by quite a number of people.

Some of you might remember watching this viral video of a woman using a fly swatter to reach the card reader earlier this year

Posted by Felita Wijaya on Wednesday, April 26, 2017

Someone must have thought that it is a good idea to come up with special sticks that look a lot like fly swatters but designed to hold a card, as they are now available in the market!

We've seen these sticks on Facebook groups, and other online marketplaces such as Carousell and Shopee.

We also found out that some of these sticks in the market are extendable - just like the selfie stick!
