Loyal Dog Keeps An Eye On Her Trapped Friend For Over A Week

They always say dogs are one of the most loyal animals in the world - this incident that took place last week proved it

On 12 September, Vashon Island Pet Protectors (VPP), a non-profit animal welfare society based in Seattle posted this notice on Facebook looking for two missing pups, Phoebe and Tillie that had been missing for 5 days

DOGS STILL MISSING. Phoebe and Tillie have now been missing for 5 days and we need your help. PLEASE CROSSPOST this...Posted by Vashon Island Pet Protectors (www.vipp.org) on Saturday, September 12, 2015

A week after, a member from the society called up and said a dog that shared similarities with Tillie was spotted near a ravine. Hoping the dog to be Tillie, members quickly went to the location, they saw something really touching...

MISSING DOGS FOUND!!! HOORAY FOR TILLIE...and a HUGE HANKIE ALERT. We are overjoyed to report that after being missing...Posted by Vashon Island Pet Protectors (www.vipp.org) on Monday, September 14, 2015

Phoebe, a basset hound, got stuck in a well deep in a ravine in the woods and was unable to climb out. Tillie, a setter, was a loyal companion and stayed with Phoebe for nearly a week, occasionally visiting a family on their property, then heading back into the ravine.

Both dogs were found to be hungry and cold. They're both back with their owners now, healthy and in good spirits!

Amy Carey, a member from VPP encouraged owners who lose their dogs to keep looking and don't give up

"Hope is an awfully hard thing to keep open and alive in the face of heartbreak, but it so important for happy endings for missing pets - or even for unhappy endings with closure," she said.

        usatoday.com

She also reminded owners not to overlook little details when searching for their missing pets

If you have a lost pet and are not getting regular sighting reports, there is a high chance that they are stuck somewhere be it over a slope, in a building, or in this case in a cistern. And a reminder that when trying to find a missing dog, you need to pay attention to even the smallest clues.

[REVIEW] SAYS Brings New Car Maintenance Website On A 'Test Drive'

In August 2013, Castrol launched Carama, Malaysia's first online service for car care to simplify the car maintenance experience

Image via paultan.org

Castrol's latest venture, Carama, is Malaysia's first online portal that simplifies car care and maintenance. It is a one-stop web and mobile platform for consumers to monitor their car service history, find trusted workshops and make appointments. With over 200 certified and listed car workshops in the Klang Valley, the website aims to connect Malaysian car owners to trustworthy workshops.

The Carama programme has been conceptualised to address the issues of trust and reliability that most consumers have in going to an unknown workshop or service centre. A recent survey with over 400 respondents in Klang Valley showed the need for independent workshops to build a trusted relationship with car owners, providing them with transparency in pricing and assurance in the quality of workmanship, skills and equipment.

        paultan.org

At first glance, Carama is a pretty nifty website loaded with a bunch of tools and tips to make the world of car maintenance easy for everyone

Image via paultan.org

One of the biggest features is the workshop locator to help you find the best and most trusted workshop for your car.

The sign up process for a Carama membership is free and comes with an array of benefits and email notifications

Image via SAYS

The sign up process in Carama is easy, but requires a teeny bit of effort. First, you'll have to provide your name, email address, phone number and the date of your next car service. Upon sign up, you will immediately receive an email with a RM40 promo code for your next car service and your temporary password. After that, return to the Carama website and log in using your registered email address and assigned temporary password. Once you've logged in, go to 'Account Settings' and change the temporary password.

While registering with Carama is free and comes with an array of benefits, it also comes with (very) consistent emails and phone calls about the latest promos and reminders for your next car service. Don't worry, there is an option at 'Account Settings' to opt out of receiving emails and SMS from Carama.

Carama connects you to over 200 workshops in the Klang Valley that they promise to be certified and trustworthy

×

Carama promises that they only feature workshops whose service and quality have been vetted and passed by Castrol. They feature Carama Certified Shops for workshops that have been through the "40 point" rigorous screening to meet the highest standard of workshop quality. All bookings made through Carama are assured with a 3 months warranty, fair price assurance and free drop off service within 5km of the selected workshop.

As Carama is still in Beta phase, its network of workshops is still limited to only a few areas in the Klang Valley. According to the website, they are constantly expanding on their affiliated workshops.

With a Search by Location function and reviews of the service centres, picking a workshop and booking an appointment was a breeze even for the uninitiated

Image via SAYS

One of the best features on the Carama website is the car workshop locator. By entering your preferred location and your car make, the website will generate a list of workshops that matches your needs and convenience. Carama also provides all the details you need to make an educated decision on which workshop will best service your vehicle. You can check ratings, customer reviews, services offered, and Carama quality scores of a workshop's customer service, transparency, technical ability and more. If you still can't decide which workshop to pick, just go with the one that has the Carama Certified logo.

Image via SAYS

Once you've decided on a workshop, you can immediately make an appointment by clicking on the big red 'Book an Appointment' button. Pick any time and date, and enter a few details including your car information and contact number. Upon submitting your booking request, you will receive a booking confirmation from Carama. There would not be a phone call from the specific car service centre confirming your appointment, which can be a little disconcerting, but a quick call to the workshop should solve your uncertainty.

Image via SAYS

You don't have to sign up for a Carama account to book an appointment, which is a nice option. But if you do decide to register as a Carama member, make sure you are logged in when you book an appointment. Otherwise, you would face a very confusing and aggravating time with your account and managing your car service history as in the case of this writer.

If you dislike getting stranded at the workshop, there's an option for you to book free MyTeksi rides worth RM15 to and from a Carama certified workshop

Get 2 x RM15 rides to and from a Carama certified workshop!

Carama assures that certified workshops will only charge a fair price. The SAYS team sent a car to a one of Carama's recommended workshop and was charged a total of RM423 for the following services:

Image via SAYS

You can consolidate all your car service history and information in the Service History Logbook for easy monitoring

Image via SAYS

Carama found an easy way for us to keep track of our car service history. No more forgetting service dates, fiddling with receipts, and trying to remember whether you used synthetic oil or fully synthetic oil. Under the 'My Car' tab, you can register your car information and keep a record of your service history in one easy-to-view page. The Service History tool helps you to consolidate all your receipts and notes by uploading a copy of it in an online logbook. The logbook makes monitoring and logging of all your car care details simple and organised. And of course, Carama will send you scheduled service reminders. A well kept and detailed service history would also help you get better value for your car if you plan to sell it.

The only annoying thing with the My Car tool is that once you've registered a specific car plate on one account, it cannot be added again on a different account. As each car plate number is unique, you can only register it once, like a username. If you have multiple accounts, say one for yourself and one for your wife, you can only register one car number plate in one account. That means you cannot help your family members to monitor their car history via your own account if they registered for a Carama account themselves.

Another useful tool is the Service Price Calculator, but it has one big downfall

Image via imgur.com

The Service Price Calculator seems like a really useful tool, especially for someone who is unfamiliar with car maintenance. This calculator provides price estimates for the different services and repair work needed for your specific car make, so you'll have a clue of how much to pay and thus protect yourself from the cunning mechanics of the world. Yes, the Service Price Calculator would be very useful IF we actually had the option of choosing our car make. The options are very limited, so if you drive a Proton Waja or Wira, you're on your own for now.

If you don't already have a regular mechanic, Carama does a good job in helping you find one that is convenient and reliable

Carama helpline is useful and prompt, but they take a while to solve your problems with the website.

Would you use a website like Carama? What do you think about its service?

EXCLUSIVE TO SAYS READERS: Carama is waiving RM57 off your first car service as long as it's booked by 30 September 2014 on Carama.com with the special promo code

Over 5,000 free courses will be offered during the National Training Week 2023 (NTW 2023) organised by the Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR) from 22 May to 28 May this year

Human Resource Development Corporation chief executive Datuk Shahul Dawood said the event is to open up opportunities for all Malaysians, regardless of age and employment status, to equip themselves with skills and knowledge for free.He told The Star that the courses will not be confined to only formal and advanced subjects such as digital marketing and web design, but will also be available in areas such as childcare, elderly care, automative skills, baking, and even air-conditioning repair."The objective is to open up opportunities for people who have never had training before," he said.

US Just Dropped The 'Mother Of All Bombs' In Afghanistan. Here's All You Need To Know

The US dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb on ISIS targets in Afghanistan on Thursday

Image via Daily Mail

According to Reuters, the device dubbed as "the mother of all bombs" (MOAB), was dropped an hour after sundown on a network of caves and tunnels housing Islamic State militants, in the Achin district of Nangarhar in eastern Afghanistan, close to the Pakistani border. A Pentagon spokesman, Adam Stump, said that this is the first time the BGU-43 bomb has been used in a combat and it was so massive to the point that it had to be dropped from the rear of a cargo plane. US officials say that there are around 600 to 800 Islamic State fighters in Afghanistan, with most of them concentrated around the Nangarhar area.

Here's everything you need to know about the MOAB:

The MOAB.
Image via Reuters

The USD16 million bomb contains 11 tons of explosives and is formally known as the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb.The 21,600 pounds (9,797 kg) bomb which was developed in 2002 and first tested in March 2003, is a GPS-guided munition. MOAB leaves no lasting radiation effect. It was reported that the massive explosive is regarded as highly effective against clusters of targets on or just underneath the ground. The bomb was dropped from an MC-130 aircraft operated by the Air Force Special Operations Command. General John W. Nicholson, the commander of US forces in Afghanistan said in a statement as reported by CNBC, "As ISIS-K's losses have mounted, they are using IEDs, bunkers and tunnels to thicken their defense. This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against ISIS-K". "What it does is basically suck out all of the oxygen and lights the air on fire," Bill Roggio of the Foundation for Defence of Democracies think tank told the Air Force Times.

The massive munition was developed during the Iraq war. CNN reported that during the bomb's final stages of testing, the US military said that the MOAB was conceived as a "weapon employed for psychological operations"

According to US officials who spoke to CNN then, said the bomb is an air blast-type warhead that explodes before hitting the ground so that it projects a massive blast to all sides. "Military officials said they hoped the MOAB would create such a huge blast that it would rattle Iraqi troops and pressure them into surrendering or not even fighting," read the CNN report. The bomb was intended to be used against large formations of troops and hardened above-ground bunkers due to its massive power of destruction.

US President Donald Trump has called the bombing "another very, very successful mission" and said that the US military is the "greatest" in the world

"We're very, very proud of our military. It was another successful event," said Trump during a press event at the White House. However, Trump made no mention on whether he had personally authorised the bombing. "Everybody knows exactly what happens. So, what I do is I authorise our military. We have given them total authorisation and that's what they're doing," added Trump, as reported by CNN.

So far, the Pentagon has not released any statements on the extent of the damage as the US military is currently conducting an assessment on the aftermath of the bombing

"US forces took every precaution to avoid civilian casualties with this strike. US Forces will continue offensive operations until ISIS-K is destroyed in Afghanistan," read a statement from US Forces Afghanistan, as reported by CNN. New York Daily News reported Ismail Shinwari, the governor of Achin district, saying that the US bombing hit a remote mountainous area and that there have been no reports of civilian injuries so far. "Of 12,000 bombs U.S. dropped on Afghanistan in past 5 yrs, MOAB the first to be honored with its own press release (posted w/in hours)," read a tweet by Micah Zenko, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. In a report by The Guardian earlier this year, Zenko, said that in 2016 alone, the US had dropped 26,171 bombs. "This means that every day last year, the US military blasted combatants or civilians overseas with 72 bombs; that’s three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day," he explained.

For comparison - while MOAB is heavier (9,500kg) than the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima in 1945, its explosion is equivalent to 11 tons of TNT. The atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima had an explosive yield of 15,000 of TNT.


Johor Sultan Rebukes MP Over "Insensitive" Interfaith Buka Puasa Event At Sikh Temple

Johor Bahru MP Akmal Nasir received a royal rebuke by the Johor Sultan for attending an interfaith buka puasa at a Sikh temple, Gurdwara Sahib, on 21 May

Image via Malay Mail

In a statement published on 1 June, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, said the event held in the state had caused unease among Muslims due to "insensitive" actions, Malaysiakini reported.

Image via Malaysia Dream News

The rebuke came after the PKR politician's attendance drew strong criticism on social media.

"When a Muslim intentionally attends a temple on the premise of attending a buka puasa event with non-Muslims, this opens space for non-Muslims to preach their religion to that Muslim," the Sultan said

He said this could lead to Muslims holding other religious events such as prayers, tahlil (supplications for the deceased), and wedding solemnisations at non-Muslim houses of worship."As the head of Islam in this state, I will not allow any action which will cause Islam to be looked at in disgust or lowly," the monarch said.

Image via Sinar Harian

"My family and I frequently attend to celebrate festivities of other races and religions in the state at their places [of worship] but do not bring Muslim worship practices to their premises as was done by the parliamentarian," he added.The Sultan also said that politicians should not use Islam for political purposes, Malaysiakini reported.

Defending his attendance at the breaking fast event, Akmal said that the programme did not make him a lesser Muslim or erode his faith in Islam

Image via Facebook

He explained that the food consumed by the Sikh community at the gurdwaras is 100% vegan and that an empty hall was prepared for visiting Muslims to perform their maghrib prayers.Before attending the breaking fast event at the temple, Akmal performed his Maghrib prayers at Masjid An-Nur at [email protected] located next door."Throughout the event, there were no issues or problems as many guests joined the breaking of fast," the politician told Malay Mail.

Image via Johor Baru Parliament Office

Agreeing with the Johor MP,  Minister in charge of Islamic affairs Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa said that Muslims have nothing to fear as the programme did not go against Islamic teachings

Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa highlighted that the main aim was to strengthen ties among the different faiths and races.

Image via Facebook

According to Free Malaysia Today, he reiterated that the event was held at a hall and not in the gurdwara itself."This isn't an issue that should be played up. Only a few would sensationalise such matters and I fear it would lead to Islamophobia," Bernama quoted him as saying on 1 June, prior to the rebuke by the Johor Palace.

Laser Treatments For Vaginal Rejuvenation Are Getting A Lot More Popular In Malaysia

Did you know that laser vaginal rejuvenation is the cheapest plastic surgery in Malaysia?
A recent report on plastic surgery treatments in Malaysia revealed that it would approximately cost about RM2,600 to get laser vaginal rejuvenation here.

A Dublin-based healthcare search engine, WhatClinic.com, conducted an analysis on plastic surgery treatments in Malaysia, based on 10,290 email enquiries to more than 100 local clinics. WhatClinic.com was founded in 2006 and has since been helping patients find, compare, and book clinics based on their preferences. They provide detailed listings for more than 120,000 clinics on their site, including doctors, dentists, beauty and cosmetic surgery, physiotherapy, fertility, and holistics to name a few. Note that over 1.5 million patients use WhatClinic.com every month to find and compare details such as services and prices for treatments at clinics listed on the site.According to WhatClinic's findings, in just a matter of years, the enquiries for laser vaginal rejuvenation procedures have increased by 192% in 2016.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation procedure is basically a procedure to tighten the vaginal area using laser treatment

"The treatment is relatively pain free and the patient can return to a normal day to day routine very soon after," read WhatClinic's annual global report, as reported by The Malay Mail Online yesterday, 26 February. Based on figures from the year 2016, WhatClinic said that the average starting price of laser vaginal rejuvenation at about RM2,575, is the cheapest amongst Malaysia's top 10 plastic surgery treatments their users enquired about.

However, liposuction was the #1 most enquired about plastic surgery treatment, with eyelid surgery and fat transfer in second and third place respectively

Image via The Malay Mail Online

Breast reduction, which garnered the least amount of enquiries in the year 2016 at 142, also has the highest starting price at RM17,874, compared to the other top 10 plastic surgery procedures that are popular in Malaysia. "We haven’t seen a huge increase overall, in fact there was a 4% decrease in interest in plastic surgery when we compared the past three months to the same period one year ago - however there has been growth from overseas in some treatments," explained WhatClinic.com.

Contrary to popular belief, stats show that a large number of enquiries for plastic surgery come from young people aged between 25 to 34, at 43%

The next largest group of enquiries are from people within the age group of 35 to 44 at 20% and the third largest group is people between the ages of 18 and 24, making up 18% of the enquiries. Speaking to Malay Mail Online, Philip Boyle, WhatClinic.com's Head of Consumer Matters, thinks that this is due to the beauty standards set by the media. "The demographics are consistent with global trends of recent. Digitally connected millennials are bombarded with more and more 'versions' of beauty by brands and their peers. This causes pressure to achieve the best possible look,"said Boyle. It was also mentioned that while women made the most number of enquiries related to plastic surgery in Malaysia in the year 2016 at 70%, the number of men looking to go under the knife  too has seen a "sharp increase" over the past few years.

Where do most global enquires about plastic surgery services in Malaysia come from?

Image via The Malay Mail Online

Australians showed the highest interest in plastic surgery services in Malaysia, followed by Singaporeans and Americans. While Singapore took the second place, the number of enquiries from the country has dropped in 2016. However, the enquiries from US has seen a growth of 32%, with an increase of 51 more enquiries in 2016 compared to just 158 in 2015. So, what influences these changes in patterns for medical tourism related to plastic surgery services in Malaysia? According to Boyle, the reason could be pinned to the weakening ringgit, government initiatives in promoting Malaysia as a medical tourism destination and the improvement and quality of plastic surgeons in Malaysia. "The US is Malaysia’s fastest growing medical tourism market, growing 32% in the past 12 months. This has no doubt been influenced by the weakening ringgit (MYR) against the dollar (USD)," he explained.

Speaking about current beauty trends, fat transfer and vaginal rejuvenation have taken the top spots as the services have lower risk and increased availability and awareness

A liposuction procedure can take around 1 to 4 hours.

He also said these changes are closely linked to the ever-changing beauty standards and trends, citing the current fascination with butt implants and fuller, thicker eyebrows. "We have also seen in the UK, smaller breast implants, as more and more women become interested in fitness. Laser hair removal has become extremely popular. We have also seen growth in demand for eyelid and chin surgeries."All of these are linked to changes in what 'beauty' means. Not to mention the medical aesthetic market, which is bringing out things like vampire facials and fat freezing to consumers," added Boyle. Vampire facial uses a person's platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP), injecting the blood back into the patient's skin to rejuvenate and renew the skin. Fat freezing, or scientifically known as Cryolipolysis, is a treatment used to destroy fat cells by controlled cooling. It is a nonsurgical alternative to liposuction.

Malaysia has been recognised as one of the best places in the world for healthcare consistently over the years

Image via Malaysian Healtcare

Texas-based Living Magazine did an analysis on healthcare around the world based on study medical procedures, hospital cleanness, and medical preparation and ranked Malaysia as the world’s best health systems out of 24 countries they studied. Some of the factors that led to Malaysia being named as having the best healthcare in the world are due to the strengthening USD, cheaper air travel rates, expensive healthcare costs and long waiting lists in Western countries. It was noted that Malaysia has some of the best-trained doctors, with a majority of them trained in the US, Australia, or the UK. The fact that all of them speak English also adds to the rating.

A Teacher Has Legally Changed Her Name To 'Abcdefg Hijklmn Opqrst Uvwxyz'

The 36-year-old teacher living in Bogota, Columbia, recently changed her name to include all 26 letters of the alphabet

Image via EuroPics/CEN

Previously known as Ladyzunga Cyborg, the university art lecturer, who has a penchant for often changing her names, decided she wanted a name that was difficult to pronounce

The 36-year-old, who lives in Bogota, started the process back in 2012 and finally received an official ID card 12 months later. She had several requests rejected by the Colombian National Registry after they initially refused to acknowledge the name.

        telegraph.co.uk

She admitted that officials had often raised eyebrows at her unusual names, but that her latest name change to become Abcdefg Hijklmn Opqrst Uvwxyz had involved her biggest battle yet.She said that she had been fighting red tape for two years in order to finally get approval to now call herself Abcdefg Hijklmn Opqrst Uvwxyz.

        dailymail.co.uk

Ms Uvwxyz, who is also a fashion designer and has a passion for fetish clothes and likes to wear Nazi-themed bondage outfits, revealed the reasons behind her decision in an interview

Ms Uvwxyz pictured here in her Nazi-themed bondage outfit.
Image via dailymail.co.uk

“I started looking for a name that nobody had in Colombia, or the world, so I thought ABCDEFG HIJKLMN OPQRST UVWXYZ,” she explained.“I've changed my name so people wouldn't know it's me. It's not because I was disturbed by it, but because I wanted to always bring an element of surprise.”

        telegraph.co.uk

What does she teaches, you ask?

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Ms Uvwxyz teaches art and photography at three universities as well as designing fashion on the side.

Is it too late to suggest: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'? It would have given her all the letters she was after but more pronounceable. But considering how she wanted a name that was hard to pronounce, I guess it's a silly suggestion! :/

Zakir Naik Might Not Be Deported Even If Interpol Comes After Him

Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad reiterated the government's refusal to deport controversial preacher Zakir Naik yesterday, 10 June

Zakir and Mahathir during a meeting in Putrajaya last year.
Image via Free Malaysia Today

Free Malaysia Today reported Mahathir as saying that Malaysia has the right to not allow Zakir to be extradited if he would not be accorded justice. According to The Star, the Prime Minister was speaking to reporters after launching an affordable homes scheme in Melaka yesterday.

Mahathir then referred to Australia's refusal to extradite Sirul Azhar Umar, who was convicted in 2015 for the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu

The Prime Minister likened Zakir's case to the government's effort to bring Sirul home. "We requested Australia to extradite Sirul, and they are afraid we are going to send him to the gallows," Mahathir said. "Zakir Naik in general feels that he is not going to get a fair trial (in India)," he added.

The Prime Minister was responding to reports of an impending Interpol arrest warrant for the preacher, who had been granted permanent residence in Malaysia

Image via Malay Mail

According to The Hindu, India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) is applying for a non-bailable arrest warrant for Zakir from a Mumbai court, which is expected to be secured on 19 June. With the warrant, Indian authorities plan to approach the Interpol for a Red Notice – which will require the assistance of all member countries to arrest Zakir. As one of the member countries, Malaysia also has an extradition treaty with India. The controversial preacher was previously slapped with money-laundering charges involving about RM115 million, on top of inciting religious hatred through his preaching.

In light of Mahathir's stance over Zakir's extradition, Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin welcomed the government's decision through a Facebook post earlier today, 11 June

"This proves that (Mahathir) will not bow to the injustice and oppression in India," the mufti wrote in his Facebook post. Asri also accused Zakir's critics of owing their allegiance to India. "On the Zakir Naik issue, it is obvious their loyalty is not to Malaysia but to India," he wrote.

Malaysia Ranking Tertinggi Pornografi Kanak-Kanak 'Online' Di Asia Tenggara

Percaya atau tidak, Malaysia menduduki tempat pertama di Asia Tenggara dalam pornografi kanak-kanak

Image via lvcriminaldefense.com

Menurut pihak berkuasa, Malaysia adalah negara yang paling aktif dalam aktiviti memuat naik dan memuat turun visual pornografi kanak-kanak apabila mencatat bacaan alamat IP tertinggi.Laporan dari MStar Online mendedahkan sebanyak 17,338 alamat IP melibatkan pornografi kanak-kanak adalah dari Malaysia.

Statistik menunjukkan lebih 60 peratus kanak-kanak masa kini mempunyai smartphone dan gemar meluangkan masa dengan bersosial di alam maya

Image via says.com

Difahamkan, sebanyak 51 peratus kanak-kanak berusia antara 13 hingga 15 tahun berkawan dengan penjenayah menerusi aplikasi WeChat, Facebook, WhatsApp dan Beetalk.Ini merupakan salah satu punca mengapa kanak-kanak sekarang mudah jatuh ke tangan penjenayah melalui dalam talian.Sebelum 2014, secara purata seramai 60 kanak-kanak mendapat serangan seksual. Angka itu kemudian meningkat kepada 184 pada 2015 dan 183 pada 2016, manakala 2017 pula seramai 117 kanak-kanak setakat Mei tahun lalu.

Lebih membimbangkan, kebanyakan ibu bapa di Malaysia membiarkan anak mereka menggunakan smartphone tanpa pemantauan

Statistik turut mendedahkan hanya 35.6 peratus ibu bapa yang memantau aktiviti anak-anak mereka.

Kajian juga mendapati bahawa 60% kanak-kanak perempuan dan 40% kanak-kanak lelaki tidak berasa ragu-ragu untuk bertemu dengan strangers yang mereka kenal melalui Internet

Netizens Start A Movement To Give 'Duit Raya' To Staff Working During Raya Holidays

There is no denying that the act of receiving a money packet will always light up someone's face, no matter their age

That is the reason Twitter user @amin_jamean kicked off the #DuitRayaMovement with his tweet on Friday, 7 June."Spread the goodness, the 'give duit raya to toll workers, 'uncle' guards, and baristas' session has begun," his tweet read.

Sebarkan kebaikan, sesi beri duit raya pada pekerja tol, pak guard & barista bermulaaa  pic.twitter.com/2hTMkLmoIE— AminJamean (@amin_jamean) June 7, 2019

According to mStar, the 31-year-old user, whose full name is Nurul Amin Md Jamean, has been doing this for over nine years."At the very least we can see their happy, smiling faces and they feel appreciated, because it feels very different when you're working during Hari Raya, so I completely understand how they feel," Amin told the newspaper.

The tweet inspired many netizens to do the same for the staff they encountered during the festive period, such as petrol pump attendants and drive-through operators

Meanwhile, other netizens also shared their experiences of being on the receiving end of a stranger's kindness

One netizen shared that they had to deal with a nasty customer early in the morning which left them feeling down."After that, all customers from all races were wishing me 'happy eid', chatted with me, made Raya jokes, and made me smile for the rest of my shift," they added.

Image via Twitter

Another netizen shared that they decided to buy a scoop of ice cream for a cranky child, but they ended up receiving a Raya money packet from the child's parents instead.

Image via Twitter

It wasn't just Muslim customers who were giving out Raya money packets too, as one netizen shared that they had received one from an Indonesian "non-Muslim" customer they attended to.

What a lovely way to add more meaning to the festive season!

Couple Gives Up City Life To Live In Beautiful Malaysian Jungle Home

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

Tired of living a mundane life, Allan and Irena decided to escape Kuala Lumpur with their family to build a beautiful home surrounded by nature

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Wanting a simple yet more meaningful life, the couple, who previously lived in Petaling Jaya, decided to take the leap and move to Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan

Allan, who's from Manila, shares that he has been living in Malaysia for the past 16 years. Prior to moving to their current home, he worked with Tatler Malaysia's editorial and creative team for more than a decade, while his wife, Irena, is a freelance makeup artist who has worked with many clients, locally and abroad, including some VIPs.With both of their well-established careers, Allan shares with SAYS that they're grateful to have experienced some of the best and most luxurious places and things. However, they always felt trapped.

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

"Every weekend we'd go to our favourite mall and enjoy lunch or dinner and sometimes end up buying stuff we don't need, only with the false notion that it made us happy. "We thought that our careers would bring us security and contentment, but as we rose through the ranks, so did our lifestyle, yet we were living from paycheck to paycheck," he adds.

"It's a vicious cycle. We wanted more but didn't realise that we're just filling a void in our lives."

Although they loved camping and would often head outdoors for a break, the couple found that it just didn't feel complete."We used to bring a bulky, heavy, two-room tent that fellow campers called a 'banglo'. It was painful, literally. We decided to be more mindful and pack only the vital stuff, at least I was able to see the car driving behind me! Guess what? We were no less happy than when we had all the fancy camping gear."Miserable and needing a drastic change, they decided that it was time to live mindfully, not just minimally.

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

What truly makes their home unique is that, excluding the loft and outdoor decking area, it is only 300sqft!
But despite its size, there's not one moment where the family feels cramped living in it.

"We love tiny house designs but we're not doing this because of a trend. Our real motivation was the promise of a simple, back to basics lifestyle."

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

"There are five of us living in this tiny space and there are six separate spaces that each of us can utilise. There's a space for dining, praying, studying, watching TV, and relaxing and sleeping. "There are two bedrooms each with a barn door for privacy and sleeping space in the loft for the boys. The loft is where we usually spend our time together as a family, especially at night when we hang out."

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Another unique thing about the home is that it's an adaptation of a modern barn house, a concept that Allan shares is not widely seen in these parts of the world

"Although we are aware of the possible pitfalls of having this design, we still went for it and made adjustments to accommodate our tropical climate. Our roof and wall cladding repels heat efficiently. The fibreglass wool insulation together with ample windows circulate the air, which helps bring the temperature down especially in the afternoon."The home is surrounded with lush greenery, but he explains that convenience was still one of their top priorities. "Our place is just five minutes away from town and is close to shops, eateries, hospitals, grocers, and schools. We're blessed to have this location."

Living the 'modern kampung' life doesn't necessarily mean needing to sacrifice little joys.
The family set up a temporary 'outdoor cinema', using ropes to hang the screen and a tabletop for a projector.

So dreamy.

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

He explains that they designed the home themselves, which they refer to as 'La Hilir Tiny House', then hired external contractors to build it.It took about six to eight weeks to complete it, costing them roughly RM85,000.

Image via La Hilir Tiny House

Naturally, building such a home came with its own set of challenges. Aside from trying to get contractors on the same page, material transportation was also a hassle, as there wasn't any proper road infrastructure at the time.Thankfully, he shares that the location is not "too deep into the woods".

"Convincing the family [to move] wasn't easy, especially the kids. They feared they'd miss out on a lot and maybe lose friends eventually," he explains."Finances also play a big factor especially when a pandemic affects every decision you make. But we are all in this together as a family for the sake of learning and teaching our children to live mindfully, while hopefully inspiring and benefiting others in the process."

If you're planning to design or build a small home, Allan's advice is to pay close attention to the layout, colours, and furniture

"Consider how many people intend to live in the house and think about how they're going to use or live in each part of it. Traffic is a priority in small house design since there's not much room for everyone to move around, there's a potential that you'd be bumping against each other a few times a day."He also suggests to pick a lightweight colour scheme, as this type of colour palette will give the small space an airy feel. "Regarding furniture, you'd have to choose a minimalistic approach and only put in those that don't only look aesthetically pleasing but also add value to your life. And lastly, sparingly add plants! They can make your home feel cosy."

"Ultimately, La Hilir is not at all just about a unique house design or a pretty, natural surrounding. It offers you a glimpse of alternative living, which we fondly refer to as 'Modern Kampung Living'. "It's about appreciating the little blessings around you no matter how insignificant they may appear at the moment. La Hilir is about discovering a life that has full of potential."

The couple has also built a glamping site in the area for anyone who wants to camp in a comfortable and luxurious setup

They are currently working on a second site that will be up for rental and have plans for their home in the future as well."We'd love to redo the interior and go for a rustic elegant decor and maybe extend the outdoor decking in different places and multiple tiers, adjacent to the house. We're also currently gathering materials for the outdoor canopy using dried tree branches or trunks."Allan encourages anyone to visit their glamping site when travelling is allowed again, adding that their "setup is very private and very suitable for families too".

To them, La Hilir isn't just a home. "[It's] a brand... and a symbol of our belief that one of the ways to happiness is through resisting the urge to accumulate unnecessary material possessions, living with what is only needed and within our means and 'learning' how to be happy and be contented with less."You can follow the family's journey on Facebook and Instagram.

YouTube Is No Longer Supporting PewDiePie Following Anti-Jewish Controversy

Google-owned YouTube is distancing itself from Felix Kjellberg, known online as PewDiePie, after widespread backlash of his use of Nazi imagery and antisemitism as props for one of his videos

Image via Variety

YouTube’s decision follows the news that Maker Studios, a division of Disney, also cut ties with Kjellberg over videos with antisemitic jokes.

In the now-deleted 11 January video, Pewdiepie paid two men to hold up a sign that read, "Death To All Jews"

Image via PewDiePie's YouTube page

According to the Wall Street Journal, Kjellberg had posted nine videos that include antisemitic content since August last year. The one from 11 January and two others from 17 and 22 January respectively, have been taken down. One of those videos depicted a man dressed as Jesus Christ saying, “Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong.”

The Swedish YouTuber is no a stranger to controversial videos but it seems like he crossed the line this time

Image via PewDiePie's YouTube page

“Although PewDiePie has created a following by being provocative and irreverent, he clearly went too far in this case and the resulting videos are inappropriate,” said a spokeswoman for Maker Studios.The production company contracts with individuals such as Kjellberg to produce videos for various YouTube channels.

As for YouTube, it has decided to cancel the release of the second season of Kjellberg's reality show 'Scare PewDiePie' and removed the PewDiePie channel from its Google Preferred advertising programme

Image via Empty Lighthouse

Although the video site will not be cancelling Kjellberg's channel, both of these repercussions will have some kind of effect on his actual income since he has said that his normal pay-per-view on YouTube is low because his brand of video content is too "edgy" for some. “My content is not necessarily family friendly, it’s got a bunch of profanity,” Kjellberg said.

In his own defence, Kjellberg has insisted that he didn’t intend his ongoing Nazi references to support antisemitism

Image via BBC

"I was trying to show how crazy the modern world is, specifically some of the services available online. I picked something that seemed absurd to me - that people would do anything for five dollars.I think it’s important to say something and I want to make one thing clear: I am in no way supporting any kind of hateful attitudes," he wrote on Tumblr.

Do you think it was fair for Disney and YouTube to sever their partnership with PewDiePie over the videos? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.


Deputy MB: Kelantan Doesn't Need Cinemas Because They Can Watch Netflix

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

The absence of cinemas has never been an issue with Kelantan people, said state Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Amar Abdullah

"Kelantan folk have never made noise over the issue of not having cinemas because they do not need cinemas to watch movies," said Amar in an interview with YouTube channel Feng Ren Guan on 29 June."They can watch it all on Netflix. Why would they pay and sit for one or two hours [in a cinema] when they can watch movies at home while eating kuaci?"The interview stems from a heated debate after PAS Youth leader Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, who had opposed the prospect of reopening cinemas in Kelantan in the past, was spotted watching latest local film Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan in a cinema in Kuala Lumpur recently.

He also dismissed the possibility that Kelantan would explore revoking its ban by introducing cinemas with segregated seats for men and women, similar to what was done in Terengganu

Amar also said people are not interested in opening cinemas anymore because with digital advancement and streaming platforms, cinemas are going out of business."In Kuala Lumpur, many cinemas have already closed, like Coliseum and Federal, all closed. GSC also closed many of their cinemas," he said.

Amar added that Fadhli being spotted watching a movie was a sign that PAS does not stop people from consuming entertainment

"We can accept good films and entertainment that does not go against Syariah. This is why we have our entertainment enactment and rules," he told Feng Ren Guan."We do not simply restrict everything, we have guidelines. It's not an issue for the people of Kelantan, it only became an issue when Mat Kilau was screened."He, however, repeated that the PAS government's stand is that cinemas are not suitable for the state.

In 2020, the only cinema in Kuala Terengganu implemented gender-segregated seating for moviegoers:

4 Selamat, 9 Masih Terkandas: Ini Kronologi Kes Kanak-Kanak Sesat Dalam Gua Di Thailand

Pada 23 Jun, pasukan bola sepak yang terdiri daripada 12 kanak-kanak dan seorang jurulatih telah masuk ke gua Tham Luang di utara Thailand selepas berlatih dan tidak pulang ke rumah pada malam itu

Image via Akkapol Chantawong / Facebook

Mereka yang berusia antara 11 hingga 16 tahun, dan jurulatih berusia 25 tahun dipercayai terperangkap kerana hujan lebat telah menghalang laluan mereka untuk berpatah balik.Gua sepanjang 4 kilometer itu dinaiki air dan mengalami banjir yang teruk sehingga beberapa hari selepas mereka terperangkap.

Apa sebenarnya yang berlaku? Baca di bawah:

Pada hari Sabtu 23 Jun lepas, sepasukan team bola bernama Wild Boars F.C terdiri dari 12 kanak-kanak berumur dari 11-16 tahun beserta coach mereka jalani latihan biasa. Selepas latihan, mereka merancang memasuki gua Tham Luang Nam Ning di Chiang Rai, utara Thailand berdekatan Myanmar. Mereka pernah masuk gua ini sebelum ini tetapi hanya sekerat jalan. Kali ini mereka hendak pergi lebih jauh ke dalam. Masa masuk, hampir tiada air sepanjang laluan mereka hingga membawa mereka ke penghujung gua.Setelah mereka tiba di hujung gua, mereka perlu patah balik ikut jalan yang sama untuk keluar. Perjalanan sejauh lebih kurang 4km.Tetapi, ketika mereka di dalam, hujan telah turun dengan lebatnya dan agak lama. Oleh kerana hujan, sambil berteduh mereka terus ke hujung gua. Bila tiba di hujung gua, air mula masuk ke dalam gua dan lama kelamaan menjadi banjir. Nasib baik di hujung gua ada sebuah batu yang tidak ditenggelamkan air kerana kedudukannya agak tinggi. Oleh kerana batu itu tinggi maka keadaan agak sempit tapi muat untuk 13 orang itu duduk tunggu air surut.Usaha mencari oleh pasukan SEAL Thailand bermula apabila mendapat laporan kehilangan mereka dan mengesyaki mereka berada di dalam gua. Apabila cuba masuk, rupanya gua itu tidak lagi boleh masuk dengan cara berjalan kerana keadaannya tidak rata dan air bertakung sana sini. Ada tempat yang sangat dalam hingga perlukan penyelaman, ada tempat pula agak sempit untuk penyelam yang membawa tangki oksigen melepasinya dan ada yang teruk berlumpur dan sangat gelap hingga sukarkan pandangan ketika menyelam.

Image via ABC

Pasukan penyelam mempunyai empat cara untuk menyelamatkan mangsa iaitu:

1. Mengepam keluar air dari dalam gua hingga kering untuk memudahkan kanak-kanak itu berjalan keluar sepertimana mereka masuk. Banyak pam industri telah dibawa ke lokasi tetapi hanya mampu mengepam 40% sahaja air keluar.

Askar Thailand memikul pam yang digunakan untuk mengepam keluar air daripada gua.

2. Membiarkan mereka di dalam sehingga air surut untuk mereka berjalan keluar. Tetapi hujan diramalkan turun kerana sekarang kawasan itu dilanda monsun. Hanya Oktober sahaja monsun akan berakhir.3. Membawa keluar dengan menyelam. Mereka tidak pandai berenang. Menyelam pula perlukan kepakaran apatah lagi menyelam selama 5 jam. Ditambah pula keadaan fizikal mereka yang sangat lemah tanpa makan dan minum yang cukup walau mereka kelihatan ceria dan mampu tersenyum. Bagaimana remaja tidak pandai berenang, lemah badan, hendak menyelam dengan begitu lama? Lebih-lebih lagi dengan kematian seorang penyelam profesional di pertengahan jalan akibat kekurangan oksigen.

4. Menebuk lubang dari atas gua dan menarik mereka keluar. Usaha ini agak rumit kerana perlu membuat jalan di hutan yang tebal bagi membawa masuk jentera boring. Juga sulit untuk mengesan dengan tepat lokasi kanak-kanak ini dari atas gua. Khuatir juga jika kerja penebukan akan mebyebabkan tanah di bawah runtuh lalu menimbus mereka.

Image via Vox

Selepas pencarian selama 10 hari, kesemua 13 orang itu ditemui hidup oleh dua penyelam British pada 2 Julai

Dua penyelam tersebut Rick Stanton dan John Volanthen mengambil masa beberapa jam untuk sampai ke lokasi itu, sekitar 400 meter jauh dari Pattaya Beach.Video di bawah menunjukkan mereka masih berada di atas batu yang menyelamatkan mereka daripada tenggelam.

#ThainavySEALPosted by Thai NavySEAL on Monday, July 2, 2018

Sehingga 8 Julai, empat daripada 13 orang telah berjaya diselamatkan

Image via AFP

Empat kanak-kanak yang identiti mereka tidak didedahkan pihak berkuasa merupakan kumpulan pertama yang dibawa keluar oleh para penyelam dari gua yang banjir dalam misi yang mencabar dan berbahaya itu.Kanak-kanak pertama dibawa keluar dari gua itu pada 5.40 petang diikuti kanak-kanak ke-2 10 minit kemudian manakala kanak-kanak ke-3 dan ke-4 dibawa keluar masing-masing pada 7.40 dan 7.50 petang.Mereka kemudian digegaskan ke hospital wilayah itu oleh helikopter tentera.

Image via AFP

Sembilan orang masih terperangkap. Fasa ke-2 kini sedang dijalankan.

Pasukan penyelam telah masuk untuk usaha menyelamat fasa kedua, kata pegawai Thai. Operasi bermula pukul 11 pagi tadi dan akan mengambil masa sekurang-kurangnya 10 jam untuk menyelamatkan mangsa.Gabenor Chiang Rai, Narongsak Osattanakorn berkata beliau berharap untuk mendengar berita baik dalam beberapa jam akan datang.

Misi menyelamat ini sememangnya sangat merbahaya dan sangat sukar untuk dijalankan. Biar video-video di bawah ini berbicara:

Gadis Terima Sepucuk Surat Dari Budak Tahfiz, Kandungannya Memang Boleh Buat Orang Sentap

Jangan sangka kanak-kanak yang masih bersekolah belum mencapai kematangan yang secukupnya

Image via iluminasi.com

Bak kata orang, usia tidak menentukan kedewasaan dan kematangan. Ada sesetengah individu yang mempunyai buah fikiran yang jauh lebih matang berbanding rakan-rakan lain pada usia yang sama.Perkembangan akal fikiran seseorang adalah bergantung kepada beberapa faktor seperti didikan, persekitaran, pendedahan, pengaruh rakan sebaya, dan sebagainya. Disebabkan itu, mentaliti dan pemahaman setiap orang terhadap sesuatu perkara sememangnya berbeza. Ada yang terlebih matang, ada juga yang pendek akal.

Perkongsian dari seorang gadis ini boleh dijadikan contoh tentang ukuran kematangan seseorang apabila dia didatangi seorang pelajar tahfiz

Gadis tersebut, Siti Suzaida yang sedang berada di padang tiba-tiba didatangi seorang pelajar tahfiz yang tidak dikenalinya. Pelajar tahfiz tersebut tiba-tiba memberi sepucuk 'surat layang' kepada Siti serta memberitahunya untuk mengongsikan isi kandungannya kepada orang ramai.

Image via imgur.com

Disangkakan surat cinta, gadis ini terkejut apabila membaca isi kandungannya yang sarat dengan teguran, nasihat, dan peringatan tentang... aurat wanita.
Ya, tentang aurat wanita.

Image via blogspot.com

Surat empat muka surat itu ditulis secara rapi tentang teguran yang pastinya mampu membuka mata mana-mana wanita yang bergelar Muslimah.Menariknya, teguran pelajar tahfiz itu juga penuh dengan kerendahan hati apabila dia begitu kerap memohon maaf, barangkali khuatir tegurannya itu mampu mengguris perasaan gadis tersebut.

"Pertama, saya nak tegur pasal pakai tudung tayang dada"

Muka surat pertama dimulakan dengan 'tayang dada', sebelum diteruskan kepada bahagian aurat yang lain.Baca di bawah:

Image via Twitter @sitisuzaida1

Pelajar tahfiz itu kemudian menyelitkan hadith Nabi dalam muka surat kedua serta menyentuh isu pakaian ketat yang dipakai oleh wanita berhijab

Image via Twitter @sitisuzaida1

Kandungan surat itu diteruskan ke bab kaki kerana "kaki juga haram"

Image via Twitter @sitisuzaida1

Akhir sekali, pelajar itu memohon maaf serta menasihatkan gadis tersebut agar memperbaiki cara pemakaian dan menutup aurat dengan lebih sempurna
