The post has since garnered 4,400 shares and 6,900 comments.

Netizens are criticising the group for being arrogant and disrespectful

Minister of Youth and Sports Syed Saddiq Abd Rahman tweeted, "Because 'Negaraku' belongs to all Malaysians. This is not a question of 'Malaya' or 'Sarawak'. But it is a symbol of our unity, Malaysia. Stop dividing us."

Another Twitter user wrote, "That's disrespectful of them. Again, a tree does not represent the forest. These are disrespectful Malaysians. Leave the racial stereotypes out of it."

"So rude. I'm disappointed with their behavior. Are they embarrassed to be Malaysians?" said a netizen.

According to Free Malaysia Today (FMT), the 22-second video was allegedly taken during a fundraising event by Parti Bangsa Dayak Sarawak Baru (PBDSB) on Friday, 27 September.

S4S member Shaow Tung Leong told FMT that it was a silent protest to show their dissatisfaction over unfulfilled promises to the state.He claimed that Malaya had been very unfair to Sarawak and Sarawakians.

The former news reporter and editor also said that the state's resources, particularly oil and gas, had been exploited since the formation of Malaysia in 1963.He said, "So why should we stand up when the national anthem is played?"

This Malaysian Has An Instagram Dedicated To All Of His 'Chap Fan' Meals

If there's one thing I truly love about Malaysia, it's being able to choose from an endless supply of economy rice or 'chap fan' dishes at hawker stalls

Only in Asia can aunties and uncles tell you the price of your meal based on looking at it for two seconds.

While some post selfies and others show off their furry pets on social media...
One Malaysian guy made an Instagram account solely to highlight his 'chap fan' meals.

37-year-old Vincent Paul Young is a fashion photographer, who also dabbles in taking photos of his meals."I have always loved the concept of economy rice, where you get to choose what you want to eat on your plate, and be charged according to the portion," he shared with SAYS.

He explained that he started this account as a side project to compare the prices of dishes

"[It is] to document the diversity and variety of local dishes on a plate... and also helps me to benchmark the market rates of the dishes I picked." "For instance, the same dish can be slightly more expensive in PJ, where in Kepong, it's fairly cheaper... thus a documentation on the standard of living in these areas," he said.

Image via Vincent Paul

Image via Vincent Paul

Vincent revealed that he usually limits his meal to a maximum of four dishes, so that his photos remain aesthetically pleasing to the eye

However, he doesn't stick to a specific budget so he can make price comparisons between different areas."The account is more of a journal for me than anything else," he said, adding that his favourite chap fan dish is baked beans and scrambled eggs in tomato sauce.

Image via Vincent Paul

Image via Vincent Paul

Depending on whether he dines in or 'tapaus', Vincent posts a picture of his meal on a weekly basis whenever possible

For each photo, he lists down the name of each dish and the total price. He even rates the meal based on taste, value for money, and overall quality.

Occasionally, he includes a separate photo of the hawker stall along with its location

If you're a ramen lover, Vincent also has an Instagram account with photos of his ramen adventures.You can follow his 'chap fan' journey here.

How A Refugee Dad Who Once Sold Pens On The Streets Runs 3 Businesses Today

This is Abdul Halim al-Attar, a Syrian refugee and a father of 2 kids

Image via @GissiSim

Back in August 2015, he was photographed walking the streets of Beirut, selling ballpoint pens so that he could feed his kids. In the photograph, Abdul was seen trying to sell ballpoint pens to passing motorists in the scorching heat, whilst also carrying his sleeping daughter over his shoulder. That photograph changed his life forever.

Abdul is now running 3 businesses in the city of Beirut

According to Mashable, the photograph of Abdul carrying his sleeping daughter on his shoulder while trying to sell pens to passing motorists in the scorching heat went viral and touched people across the world.After the Internet managed to track him down, an IndieGoGo campaign in his name raised an incredible USD191,000, BuzzFeed reported. While Abdul has only gotten 40% of the amount left after banking and processing fees, the amount he has received has helped both him and other Syrian refugees.The 33-year-old Syrian father of two opened a bakery two months ago and has since added a kebab shop and a small restaurant to his business venture. What's more is that, not only has he sent USD25,000 of the funds raised to friends and family in Syria, he has also hired 16 other Syrian refugees as employees in his businesses.

Image via Hussein Malla / AP

One of those moved by his plight was an online journalist and web developer in Norway, Gissur Simonarson, who created a Twitter account under the name @buy_pens and an Indiegogo campaign to raise $5,000 for al-Attar and his family. When it closed three months later, the campaign had collected almost forty times more: $188,685. Another $2,324 in donations has trickled in since then.

        mashable.com

According to a report in the AP, he is currently "breaking even with steady orders of fresh bread and shawarmas from nearby workers and families in the working-class neighborhood of Ared Jaloul"

Image via Hussein Malla / AP

He was also able to move his 2 children out of the one-bedroom apartment they’d been sharing into a new two-bedroom. Four-year old Reem has new toys to show off, while her nine-year-old brother Abdullelah is back in school after three years away.

        buzzfeed.com

Now that he has settled into his new life, Abdul feels like a real part of the community, rather than an outsider.
He said that Lebanese and Syrians alike are much nicer to him.

"They just greet me better now when they see me. They respect me more," he said.

UMNO Keeps Sacked Cabinet Members And Reemerges As 'One Big Family' Instead

UMNO Supreme Council has graciously opted to not sack anyone from its party, proving that the party does not toe the line of mass speculations about its internal affairs

PM Najib Razak
Image via The Wall Street Journal

The first UMNO Supreme Council meeting to be held after the untimely cabinet reshuffle, saw the reunification of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his newly-minted Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi with the recently sacked ex-DPM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.Despite mass speculations that former DPM Muhyiddin and ex-Rural and Development Minister, Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal would be stripped off their party membership for their criticisms on the 1MDB scandals, Najib has retained their position as party leaders.

"No sacking," said Supreme Council member Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan when asked by reporters at the lobby of the party headquarters in Menara Dato Onn at the Putra World Trade Centre, after the meeting ended at about 6.30pm.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In a surprising turn of events after he unceremoniously fired his long-serving ministers, Najib has stated that the ex-cabinet members are willing to work together towards strengthening UMNO

His statement after the meeting puts paid to earlier speculation that either Muhyiddin or Shafie or both would be given the boot or have severe action taken against them for their outspokenness on the 1MDB affair and against Najib himself.

        malaysiakini.com

“I applaud Muhyiddin’s involvement as deputy president and he has stated his strong commitment to the party and the willingness to continue fighting to ensure Umno’s strength and success in the next general elections,” Najib told a press conference after the meeting, with his deputy sitting beside him.“I would also like to thank Shafie, the vice-president who has stated the same commitment and he has also said his willingness to work for the party’s interest.”

Despite the unfortunate events that befell him, Muhyiddin has remained a loyal member and supporter of UMNO

Speaking to the media outside the party’s headquarters in Menara Dato Onn, Muhyiddin downplayed his exit and insisted that he is an Umno member through and through.“Everything went well. I am a ‘totok’ Umno member,” Muhyiddin told reporters, using a colloquial Malay term meaning “true blue”.Hundreds of Muhyiddin’s supporters clad in black chanted “Hidup Tan Sri” [Long live Muhyiddin] and “Hidup Umno Johor” [Long live Johor Umno] as he exited the party headquarters.

Other prominent UMNO members took the opportunity to rekindle their party spirit, strengthen strained relationships among party members and resolve their issues at the meeting

Umno supreme council members said their meeting today went smoothly in the "spirit of solidarity of a big family".Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who is also Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister and BN’s director of strategic communications said the meeting was held in a positive atmosphere with the overarching agendas being unity and moving forward."The president (Najib Abdul Razak) spoke for about 20 minutes and his speech was well-received."In the end, in the spirit of Umno as one big family, we settled problems in that spirit (family spirit)," he said when approached by reporters after the meeting at Menara Dato Onn at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur.

In the midst of all the good cheer at the Supreme Council meeting, the recently sacked Langkawi rep Anina Saadudin chided Najib for using the back door entry for the meeting

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has no reason to fear Umno members because they are not his "wife", said former Langkawi Wanita Umno member Anina Saadudin. "It is as though he is in fear [...] It is just like when he ran away from the Nothing2Hide forum. How can an Umno president be afraid of facing Umno members waiting for their leader at the front door?" she asked.

        malaysiakini.com

In a departure from norm, Najib, who usually used the main entrance to enter and exit, was nowhere to be seen. He, however, chaired the meeting.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Meanwhile, party members sung praises about the overall merry atmosphere at the supreme council meeting yesterday, 9 September

“It was a meeting that showed the big Umno family. The meeting was good, no voices were raised. Among the things brought up was unity and moving forward,” Sabah Umno representative Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan told reporters. “Muhyiddin and Shafie have stated that they are behind Najib and they will work towards Umno’s victory in the next general elections,” Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said.“There was no discussion on taking action towards anyone. Everything, the whole meeting was orderly and calm,” Abdul Aziz added.“Everything was fine, nothing happened. Umno is united,” Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz chimed in.

        themalaymailonline.com

On the contrary, six weeks ago, when former DPM Muhyiddin decided to speak up against Najib and the 1MDB scandals surrounding him, a messy debacle erupted:

A Taiwanese Duo Created The Perfect Bubble Tea Cup That Also Saves The Environment

Two Taiwanese designers may have just cracked the code when it comes to loving bubble tea while also saving the environment.
Meet Float.

Image via Float/Behance

Designed by Mickey Wu and Gang Shih, 'Float' is a non-straw glass cup that is made for bubble tea lovers who want to save the world in more ways than just saying "Tak Nak Straw".Wu and Gang Shih are both industrial designers from Taipei, Taiwan.

The cup's most prominent feature is definitely the lack of need for a straw - whether of the plastic or metal variety

Image via Float/Behance

The cup comes with a small, easy-to-clean container where the pearls are poured into.According to Design Taxi, the smaller container is made of BPA-free Tritan copolyester.

Image via Float/Behance

The container also acts as a kind of "barrier" that holds the ice in the middle of the cup - ensuring the temperature and concentration of the drink is balanced

Image via Float/Behance (Edited by SAYS)

Image via Float/Behance

Additionally, Float is made with environmentally-friendly recycled glass

Image via Float/Behance

The duo partnered with Spring Pool Glass to get the materials needed to make the cup.Not sure if it's a conscious design, but the cover of the cup also resembles a colourful pearl. :p

Gang Shih confirmed with Eater that Float will be manufactured and sold to the public, beginning with Taiwan. Check out the crowdfunding page here.

In the meantime, the rest of us will have to do maths to maximise the joy of drinking bubble tea:

New Straits Times reported that Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth and Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) Youth lodged reports with the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) against the woman yesterday for allegedly bribing people of Cameron Highlands. "We want MACC to investigate the matter and take necessary action," Pahang UMNO Youth Chief Mohd Farid Mohd Noor said, according to New Straits Times."I'm not sure whether the disbursement of the money was to buy food or as a bribe to the people of Cameron Highlands," MIC Youth chief R. Thinalan was quoted as saying by New Stratis Times.

PH candidate for the by-election M. Manogaran denied any knowledge of the incident

"I was not there... It was not me (who gave the money)," Manogaran told New Straits Times."It (the incident) is alleged to have taken place after the nomination process," he added.

Democratic Action Party (DAP) supremo Lim Kit Siang has since provided an explanation to the incident

Malay Mail reported Lim as saying that the woman, known as Vanessa, is a volunteer from DAP's Impian Malaysia programme. "She was placed in charge of the Orang Asli motorcyclists who came out from their various Orang Asli kampongs for the Nomination (Day) in Tanah Rata," Lim said. "There were 60 motorcyclists and she reimbursed them RM20 each per motorcyclist (for petrol)," he added.

Lim also challenged BN to announce its expenditure for the by-election

"We are not afraid of the truth as no vote-buying was involved," the DAP supremo said. "Is Barisan Nasional prepared to give a full public accounting of how many people it mobilised for the Nomination, and the total expenditure involved as well as to answer all queries on financial expenditures during the by-election?" Lim said, according to Malay Mail. Meanwhile, Lim called on Cameron Highlands voters to report on any vote-buying or corrupt electoral practices."I call on the voters of Cameron Highlands to be the eyes and ears of the law to report on any vote-buying and corrupt electoral practices to make the by-election the cleanest election in Malaysian history," he was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini.

Netizens Are Furious That The KK Library Has Been Vandalised Just A Week After Opening

Netizens are expressing fury over viral photos showing the extent of vandalism at the newly opened Kota Kinabalu Library's children's section

One post in particular had received over 1,900 shares at the time of writing.

Image via Facebook

"Do you bring your children there to actually read books or you just want praise for taking photos and uploading them on Facebook or Instagram. You all just want to be first in entering a new building," the post by a Facebook user read."If your intention is for your children to read diligently and become a member so you can always borrow books, it's not a problem. But if you let your kids disrespect public property like this, I pity your mentality as parents."

Photos showed the children's section vandalised with scribbles and doodles on the walls and books strewn about:

Netizens expressed dismay and anger over the state of the library in the comments section of the post

One netizen said they were disappointed to "see those pretty furniture had been conteng so badly" and that their children could not read in such a noisy library.

Image via Facebook

Another netizen claimed that not only did some children vandalise and tear books, but they were seen running around and knocking into smaller children - all while their parents kept their eyes glued onto their phones.

Image via Facebook

"Children should have their corner to express their creativity, but to let children vandalise public property is wrong. My child 'conteng dinding rumah' also I scold," said another netizen.

Image via Facebook

In response, the Sabah State Library announced that the children's section of the Kota Kinabalu branch has been closed until further notice

Library director Wong Vui Yin told Malay Mail he was hurt and dismayed at the state of the children's section."I was notified by my staff on Sunday afternoon that the children's area was damaged. There were drawings everywhere, the books were lying on the ground being stepped on, the toilet seat was broken and the trash bins as well," he said."It makes me so sad to see such damage after all the work we put into making this library what it is."

Wong added that the library will be taking extra measures when the children's section reopens after a thorough cleaning

Image via Wong Vui Yin/Malay Mail

Malay Mail reported that some of the measures would include:- having more staff on duty,- limiting the number of children in the area,- refusing entry to the children's area for anyone above 12 years old that is not accompanying a child, and- security checks on bags to ensure no crayons, colouring pens, or watercolours is allowed inside.

Tertanya Cara Jurujual Masukkan Kereta Ke Dalam Mall? Gadis Dedah Misteri Itu Dalam Video!

Mesti ramai di antara kita yang pernah tertanya-tanya bagaimana kereta yang terdapat di pameran jualan kereta di dalam pusat membeli-belah dimasukkan lalu diletakkan di situ

Selain tertarik dengan kecanggihan serta kehebatan model kereta yang dipamerkan pada pameran jualan kereta itu, sudah tentu terdetik juga di fikiran bagaimana kereta-kereta ini dimasukkan dan diletakkan selalunya di tengah-tengah ruang pusat membeli-belah.

Ada yang kata kereta ini dibawa turun dari bumbung atas pusat membeli-belah menggunakan jentera dan tali, ada juga yang kata bahagian dan komponen kereta dipasangkan satu persatu bagi membentuk sebuah kereta.

'Misteri' ini bagaimanapun telah dirungkai oleh seorang konsultan jualan di Proton menerusi sebuah rakaman video yang dimuat naik dalam laman Twitter

Menurut konsultan jualan itu yang dikenali sebagai Lala, sebenarnya caranya tidaklah sesukar yang kita sangkakan.

Haaaa ingat lagi tak haritu pernah juga viral pasal orang tertanya-tanya macamana salesman bawa masuk kereta dalam mall? Kalau cukup 100RT lala akan belanja video process kitaorang masukkan kereta dalam mall! Hehe pic.twitter.com/6RbqzNEIfS— Lala Proton Sales Consultant (@lalaproton) February 3, 2020

Kereta-kereta pameran ini dimasukkan melalui samada pintu utama atau pintu belakang pusat membeli-belah pada sebelah malam. Ini kerana pada waktu itu tiada pengunjung di pusat membeli-belah.

Okay korang,Biasanya pukul 8.30am @ 10.00pm kitaorang dah terpacak depan mall untuk bawa masuk kereta melalui entrance door @ back door Masa tu dalam mall just ada security je untuk guide kitaorang masukkan dekat dalam. hehe pic.twitter.com/mCcxwtNWyD— Lala Proton Sales Consultant (@lalaproton) February 3, 2020

Bukan itu sahaja, wanita ini turut berkongsikan rakaman video sepanjang proses membawa masuk kereta ke dalam pusat membeli-belah.

Buat yang sudah tahu proses kemasukan kereta pameran ke dalam pusat membeli-belah turut sama berkongsikan pengalaman mereka melihatnya buat kali pertama. Ada juga yang berkongsikan video proses tersebut.

Are Our Athletes Too Pampered? Malaysian Track Cycling Head Coach Has This To Say

It has come to Malaysians' attention that national cyclists Azizulhashi Awang and Fatehah Mustapa were issued a gag order during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games recently

National cyclists Azizulhashi Awang (left) and Fatehah Mustapa (right)
Image via Bernama

This was revealed in an article titled, 'Gag order? You cannot be serious' written by one Phuah Shew Beng, a sports journalist. The article was published on The Star Online on 13 August. Phuah said that national track cycling head coach John Beasley told the journalists at a press conference on 8 August that Azizulhashi Awang and Fatehah Mustapa, Malaysian cyclists who were going to contend in their respective events, will be banned from speaking to the media until all their events were over. It was also said that the Malaysian divers suffered the same fate.

He expressed disappointment over the restrictions that was imposed on the national athletes as the public are denied the chance to get exclusive updates from them

National cyclist Azizulhasni Awang who won the bronze medal in the keirin event was banned from speaking to the press until his event finished.

Phuah argued that Malaysians have "the right to know what is happening on ground" since all of the national athletes are funded by the government, which means that taxpayers contributed to the money that was spent on training them overseas.  He also cited how "athletes from other countries speak and mingle freely with the press" at the International Zone of the Games Village but "Malaysian journalists can only watch in envy". "We, the sports journalists, are not asking them to comment on politics. It's sports we are interested in," he wrote.  "Talking to the press will put the athletes under more pressure? Now, you can’t be serious."

"My message to them is: Grow up."

Phuah said that our national athletes "are not strong in the head" if they cannot cope with the pressure, adding that world-class athletes like Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps have no such issues and in fact, they "thrive under pressure".  Phuah wrote that he personally thought that "Malaysian athletes are too pampered". He went on to say that Malaysian athletes are "super sensitive" and they would refuse to speak to the press should the media criticise them."When you achieve success, we praise you. But when you fail, you can’t expect us to glorify you. That’s not how it works with the press. We are unbiased in what we do," he concluded.

Meanwhile, Malaysian track cycling head coach John Beasley has responded directly by leaving a comment in the article one day later, on 14 August

He started off by saying that he was sorry Phuah had felt that journalists were denied a chance to hear from the national athletes but Beasley continued by saying that the Malaysians media have always come ill-prepared during a press conference. "I am sorry you feel that way, I just read your story and it is very typical of the Malaysian press," he wrote."I gave you full access to the athletes during the press conference though very few questions were asked, why? Because you guys don't do your homework, why is it that the Malaysian press come to press conferences without doing their homework?"

According to Beasley, the Malaysian press not only lack discipline but relied on spoon-feeding as they never bother to collect information that was readily available and easily accessible online

"All the performance data is out there accessible on the net and yet still you ask us what is your records? Furthermore, we get asked the same old questions every time we are interviewed. I think it's you guys that need a big kick in the backside to do some preparation before coming to interviews."  "I can only speak for cycling here and honestly, you guys call yourself professionals, (but) it's more like a holiday as there is rarely a story worthy of reading as there is no substance in your stories. The Malaysian press are like a broken record," he added. "We are always open and available to you guys. Let me point out one fact, you got the opportunity to speak to us when we arrived, where is that content? Oh sorry, I had a moment lapse of memory, you did not ask many questions, did you? If you ask me, it is your fault."

The 54-year-old Australian went on to explain about the need of training overseas in the comment

John Beasley (right) vowed that he would do anything to help national cyclist Azizulhasni Awang to excel in the Olympic Games earlier this year.

"Yes, we train overseas, I have been well noted for pointing out the reasons why and this is only to give your athletes their best chance to perform on the big stage. We also educate them offshore also, something you guys need a lot more schooling on." "We are racing the best of the best from all around the world, everybody is a champion that has just qualified to make the games team."  He added that Malaysians never seemed to appreciate their own athletes and often criticised them although these sportsmen and sportswomen have made many sacrifices to train and represent the nation, a chance which many others envied. "Regardless of what happens here in Rio, we have left no stone unturned on our journey to get here and we have provided Malaysia with some great results over our journey, now grow up and let us get on with doing our job," he wrote at the end of his comment.

9 Creative Hacks Malaysian Students Pulled Off To Survive College Life

1. "I used a hair straightener to iron my baju"

"I ironed my baju with a hair straightener".
Image via freepeople.com

Jane, 26 was an architecture student. "I didn't really have much time to iron clothes due to assignments. I was rushing to prepare for a presentation the next day but I had no time to iron my outfit. So I used my hair straightener to iron out the visible creases and put a jacket on. Problem solved."

2. "I sat outside a Starbucks to leech off their free WiFi"

Image via Joe Van Brussel via Huffington Post

Vijay, 22 is currently studying engineering in the UK. "I had an assignment due and had to make some minor edits. However, I was not within the campus and I didn't want to go all the way back home to connect. My phone could not tether due to my limited data plan. So I searched for WiFi and finally detected a faint signal from a Starbucks about a street away. I walked over, sat on the sidewalk, opened my laptop, connected to the WiFi and made the edits before handing in my assignment feeling like a boss."

3. "I made grilled cheese sandwiches using an iron"

Image via southphillyblocks

Kristy, 19 is currently pursuing a diploma in Mass Communications. "Okay, the other day I was super hungry but I didn't want to just make some sandwiches. So I made a cheese sandwich, wrapped it in aluminium foil and used an iron to toast it. Best decision I've ever done."

4. "I used a kettle to cook instant noodles because I didn't have a pot"

Image via geekosystem.com

Raj, 30, was a culinary arts student in Australia. "Okay, this is probably embarrassing because I didn't have a pot in the kitchen, especially as a culinary student! I was lazy to cook since I've been doing that all day. So I just took a kettle, boiled the water and dumped instant noodles and the seasoning. I poured it out onto a bowl and it was delicious."

5. "I turned a toilet roll into a stationery holder"

Image via imgur.com

Jon, 21 is currently a medical student. "Okay, I have to put this on record that my housemates and I are lazy people. We never throw away empty toilet rolls. So instead of going all the way down to throw it in the rubbish bin, I turned a few into stationery holders. The best part is that I feel like I'm contributing to the environment."

6. "I used a pizza box as a dustpan because the dustpan was stolen"

Image via imgur.com

Edwin 23, was on a student exchange programme in the United States. "Over here, pizza is life. I know it's so bad for my waistline but it's so good to eat! Anyway, we were having this pizza party and there was a huge mess afterwards. We had to clean up but we found out that the dustpan was stolen. So we turned empty pizza boxes as dustpans and we felt like we invented something awesome."

7. "My clothes were wet so I dried it by pegging it to my ceiling fan and turning it on at maximum speed"

Image via Whitetrashrepairs

Philip, 33 was a business student in Malaysia. "I did my laundry on Sunday afternoon and hung it out to dry. I then went out for a movie but found out that it has been raining heavily. As I had a presentation to do, I rewashed my clothes, I cleaned my fan and pegged my clothes on it. I then turned my fan on at maximum speed and it was dry within a few hours."

8. "I used an egg carton to cool down my laptop"

Image via imgur.com

Tim, 21, is a marketing student. "I play computer games every day. But one thing bad about this hobby of mine is that it's bad for my laptop in the long run. So, to extend the life of my laptop, I put an egg carton underneath to give it proper ventilation. I sometimes direct a fan underneath so it won't overheat so fast. Now I can play my DOTA 2 in peace."

9. "I Febreze-d my air-con to get rid of the sweaty smell"

Image via blogspot.com

Chris, 23, is a broadcasting student. "I play futsal a lot and my laundry basket is full with sweaty shirts. Unfortunately, I don't do laundry as often and the smell does stink my room up -it's disgusting. So when I did my laundry, I sprayed Febreze into the air-con and turned both the air-con and fan on. Now I don't get paranoid when friends visit my room!"


A Kuching Home Owner’s Rottweiler Did What No CCTV Could Do

A man's attempt to rob a house in Kuching ended in an epic fail after he suffered injuries while trying to run away from a Rottweiler

In the incident that happened on 4 February, the 31-year-old suspect from Bentong climbed into a compound of a house in Kuching. According to Sin Chew Daily, the Rottweiler started barking furiously. Fearing that the canine would attack him, the man turned back and in the process of climbing over a fence, slipped, and fell on his head.

Startled by the barking, the house owner came out and apprehended the suspect before calling the police

According to The Borneo Post, the suspect was brought by police to Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) for treatment and later to the police station for questioning.

A stocky, physically strong dog breed with a black coat and well-defined tan markings, the Rottweiler came from Germany. Its fearless nature makes the breed one of the best guard dogs you can have.

Why Siti Flipped Her Finger At 'Islamist Hooligans' In A Forum About PAS' Shariah Bill

Earlier on 5 September, at a forum on the controversial proposal to increase the Shariah Court's powers, Siti Kasim gave a middle finger to hecklers who harassed her for openly opposing the move by PAS

Following which, Siti — who previously led a civil lawsuit to block the Bill from being tabled in the Dewan Rakyat — took to her Facebook to explain her reasons, writing, "I don't regret it one bit. To me, those Islamists hooligans deserve the finger and more. "

The lawyer cum activist Siti Kasim, while writing that the audience at the forum on "Pindaan Akta 355: Antara Realiti Dan Persepsi" organised by the Karangkraf Group in Shah Alam, was full of "Islamists", or Malays who thought they were trying to uphold God's laws but couldn't hear anything that is against their ideals."Their minds are so close that they are unwilling to hear anything else," read Siti's post.

She wrote that she went to the Forum as the subject is close to her heart and she was interested in hearing what the panel had to say

"I have been to so many forums. I have asked hard hitting questions but never in my wildest dream (I thought) that someday I will show a (middle) finger in a forum to the audience," Siti writes while defending the labels such as "crass and rude"."Since when a woman cannot be crass and rude in the face of hooligans and brainwashed morons?" the feisty lawyer asked in the post, that has since gone viral.

In her defence, Siti said she wanted to point out that PAS Secretary-General Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan, who was one of the speakers, was misleading the audience in terms of the law. "He failed to mention the real hierarchy of laws in our country," wrote Siti.

"The speakers from PAS and UMNO insisted it is not a HUDUD bill. Of course, it is not a HUDUD Bill but it has everything to do with HUDUD. Without this amendment to the limit of punishment in the Shariah Courts, they wouldn't be able to mete out the punishment already stated in their HUDUD ENACTMENT," wrote Siti."As pointed out by the rep from MCA, in which it was conveniently not answered, that JAKIM's intention in a proposal by them was to implement HUDUD to the whole country and they are going to start with the amendment to Act 355. So, there it is... their first round of plan is in operation," she added.

According to Siti, most of the audience in the forum and the Malays in general do not understand the significance of this Act 355

She says that PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang's private member's Bill seeks to introduce a new Section 2A into the Syariah Court (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 or Act 355 to increase the Shariah Court’s power to pass sentences."The proposed Section 2A removes the restriction on punishment for offences against the precepts of Islam that the Shariah Courts can currently impose: imprisonment not exceeding a term of three years, a fine not exceeding five thousand ringgit, whipping not exceeding six strokes or any combination of these punishments (which has come to be known as the '3-6-5 provisions')," Siti wrote.While she noted that death sentences cannot be imposed under the new Section 2A, but said the amendment appeared to confer Shariah Courts with "unlimited power to impose other hudud punishments.""Hudud offences include offences like zina (adultery), qazaf (false accusation of committing zina), syrub (alcohol consumption) and irtidad or riddah (apostasy) and according to the Kelantan Shariah Criminal Code (II) (1993) 2015 Enactment, punishment for these is whipping, ranging from 40 to 100 lashes. The Bill also seeks to substitute the existing Section 2 in Act 355 with a new section that appears to widen the scope of the Shariah Court’s existing criminal jurisdiction, which is currently limited to offences by Muslims against Islam," Siti said.

Insisting that while the Islamists will ask why is she opposing Allah's will, Siti wrote that, "NO, it is not Allah's Will nor is it God's laws!!"

"We, as Malays must be allowed to openly discuss these so call punishment set out by this Mullahs. Are they really God's punishment? I refuse to be governed by these man-made laws under the pretext of Islam. These people are selling Islam. We have been duped for so long," read Siti's post.Noting that hardliners are not easy to convince because they have been brainwashed, Siti argues that as a Malaysian Citizen and to respect the rights of those who believe they must adhere to their Mullahs, the people be given the choice to either be governed by the Secular Laws or the Religious Laws."They keep saying why do we want to stop them from practising their belief, so we must not stop them. Those Malays who do not want to be governed by these man-made religious laws, should be allowed to opt out," she wrote, adding that she "will never submit to these man-made laws guise under the cloak of Islam."

Image via Choo Choy May/MMO

Ending her post, Siti says that her battle all these while was not because of being courageous and brave but because "I'm in fear"

"I am fearful that these Mullahs are taking me away from the true Islam. The Islam that I know as beautiful and full of compassion," she said.While forgiving those who have smeared her name and called her an apostate, Siti said, "Read the Quran in the language you understand and seek to understand it from people who have no personal agenda."

Do you agree with Siti's justification? Comment to let us know.

8 Surprising Perks Of Being A Blood Donor

8. Weight loss

You burn 650 calories and lose a pound for every pint of donated blood
Image via healthworks.my

Nothing is more Malaysian than loving food. Did you know that donating blood could help with your expanding waistline? By donating blood, you burn 650 calories and lose a pound (0.45kg) for every pint (0.47 litres) of donated blood. And all you need to do is lie down for awhile.

        bit.ly

7. Free health check-ups

The medical crew at blood donation drives will give you a mini-physical. They’ll tell you important stuff about your blood type, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and more. This beats going to a GP and paying hundreds of ringgit or the same service.

        bit.ly

6. First-class hospital wards

Image via imgur.com

If you’re admitted into a hospital for any reason, comfort is central. In Malaysia, if you donate blood a certain amount of times, you’ll be entitled to free treatment in a first-class hospital ward. Of course you’ll have to donate blood at the National Blood Centre (Pusat Darah Negara) or associated hospitals. More details here.

        bit.ly

5. Free Hepatitis B vaccination

Hepatitis B is no joke – it can destroy your liver and it’s 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV. 1.4 million Malaysians have the disease. If you donate blood twice in one year, you’ll be given the Hepatitis B vaccine for free. Again, this only applies to blood donations at the National Blood Centre (Pusat Darah Negara) or associated hospitals.

        bit.ly

Malaysia has high prevalence of chronic Hepatitis B compared to other Asian countries
Image via hepfreehawaii.org

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.
The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person.
More than 780 000 people die every year due to the consequences of hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is preventable with the currently available safe and effective vaccine.

        who.int

4. Replenished blood cells

Your body makes about two million new red cells every second, so it doesn't take long to build up stores of them again. What about your white cells and platelets? A number of other messenger proteins also stimulate the production of these cells in the bone marrow, and over the next few days levels return to normal.

        blood.co.uk

Donating blood depletes your body of red blood cells, forcing your bone marrow to create new ones. It’s kind of like the ‘refresh’ button in Internet browsers. Your body is refreshed, updated, and becomes better at doing things. You’re a new man/woman!

        bit.ly

3. Reduced risk of cancer

Did you know: one blood donation can save three lives
Image via donateblood.com.au

Cancer is arguably the disease that most people fear the most. And cancer is rising in Malaysia – there were 32,000 new cases in 2008 and 37,400 in 2012. As we consume unhealthy foods like processed meat and breathe in polluted air, our cancer risk increases from day to day. But if you consistently donate blood, you can lower your risk of cancer in the colon, stomach, lung, liver, and throat. You know what they say – it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

        bit.ly

2. Reduced risk of heart disease

Heart disease has been the number one cause of death in Malaysia for the last 30 years. But don’t worry, there’s hope. Donating blood substantially cuts your risk of heart attacks and heart disease. Here’s how. Heart disease has been linked to your blood’s iron levels. Too much iron thickens your blood, causing it to damage your arteries in the long run. When you donate blood, you remove excess iron from your body, keeping your blood thin and manageable for your arteries.

        bit.ly

1. The honour of saving lives and bringing us all together

If you're a healthy Malaysian and have yet to donate blood, sign up for the #kitasama blood donation drive
Image via AstroMalaysia

According to a survey by the National Blood Bank, many (Malaysians) come forward because of a genuine desire to help others. “I’m motivated by a sense of wanting to help others. If I were in the patient’s shoes, I hope others would do the same for me,” said retiree Low Cheng Har, 60, who has been a blood donor since 1994, adding that her husband and sons were also regular blood donors.

        thestar.com.my

This is the most important reason to donate blood. Blood donations are great reminders that deep down we are all the same, we are all part of humanity. Our many social and cultural differences are irrelevant during medical situations where blood is needed. As we remember and celebrate our nation this Merdeka month, why not donate your blood for fellow Malaysians in need? After all, unity runs in our blood. The colour of our blood is the only colour that truly matters. We are all red underneath.
