9 Topik Utama Para 'Vapours' Persoalkan Selepas JAKIM Haramkan Vape

Semalam, Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) telah mengeluarkan fatwa pengharaman penggunaan rokok elektronik atau lebih dikenali sebagai vape di Malaysia

IRSYAD FATWA KE-63: HUKUM PENGGUNAAN ROKOK ELEKTRONIK / VAPORAlhamdulillah, dalam Irsyad Fatwa pada kali ini, kami...Posted by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) on Tuesday, August 4, 2015

JAKIM menyenaraikan 5 sebab kenapa vape adalah haram sama seperti rokok iaitu:

Image via mashable.com

1. Qiyas kepada rokok sebenar2. Kenyataan pakar menunjukkan ia mudarat bahkan boleh jadi lebih mudarat daripada merokok itu sendiri. Ini merupakan asas pertimbangan yang amat kuat kerana mafsadahnya tidak boleh disangkal lagi serta mudaratnya telah diperakui oleh pakar dan badan-badan berautoriti.3. Pembaziran4. Meniru budaya yang bukan Islam5. Dilihat tidak bermaruah

Selepas berita itu tersebar, ruangan komen di Facebook JAKIM mula dibanjiri dengan pelbagai pendapat dan pertanyaan dari orang ramai. Antaranya:

1. Ada yang mempersoal isu derma RM2.6 bilion ke dalam akaun Perdana Menteri. Ramai yang nak tahu sama ada ia haram atau tak.

Image via www.ibtimes.com

Image via Facebook JAKIM

2. Ada juga yang kata pembakaran vape tu tak hasilkan asap tapi wap. Jadi di mana haramnya?

Image via upaiyun.com

Image via Facebook JAKIM

3. Nak lagi best, lepasni maggi haram, gula haram, garam haram, coklat haram, minyak haram, dan nasi lemak pun haram sebab kalau ambil berlebihan boleh beri mudarat. Emmm...

Image via memecrunch.com

Image via Facebook JAKIM

4. "Kalau ikutkan, di Malaysia ni ramai yang mati sebab kemalangan jalan raya. Jadi kenderaan itu sendiri memudaratkan." Mula-mula tak boleh makan, lepastu tak boleh naik kereta pulak.

Image via pinimg.com

Image via Facebook JAKIM

5. Bukan tu je. Lepasni pakai baju coat dan tali leher pun tak boleh. Katanya sebab meniru budaya orang bukan Islam. Gula pun haram sebab orang barat pun guna gula. Aiseymen susah la macam ni.

Image via tumblr.com

Image via Facebook JAKIM

6. Benda apa lagi yang akan diharamkan selepas ini?

Image via 9gag.com

Image via Facebook JAKIM

7. Ada juga yang tak puas hati kenapa JAKIM terlalu fokuskan isu vape. Lebih baik JAKIM banteras rumah-rumah urut, kelab-kelab malam, kilang-kilang arak, pusat-pusat perjudian, dan banyak lagi tempat yang boleh meruntuhkan akhlak.

8. Dalam pada itu, seorang netizen memberi hujah bahawa vaping secara agresif adalah sama seperti menghirup udara biasa dan langsung tak beri kesan kepada kesihatan

Image via oystermag.com

Image via Facebook JAKIM

9. Last sekali, ada yang kata JAKIM punya kajian ni kurang bukti yang sahih dan tak menyeluruh sebab produk e-cig yang dipasarkan di Malaysia tak sama dengan yang di luar

Apa pendapat anda?

Baru-baru ini juga, Majlis Daerah Perak Tengah mengeluarkan arahan untuk melarang pasangan yang belum kahwin duduk di couple seat dalam panggung wayang:

                Tunjuk Sijil Nikah Dulu Baru Boleh Beli Tiket 'Couple Seat'. Kalau Tak...

Jangan nakal-nakal.

Singaporean Café Apologises After Being Accused Of Disrespecting Indonesian Nasi Padang

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

Singaporean café The Ritual came under fire after claiming to serve nasi padang "without the nasties" in an Instagram post last week

According to Malay Mail, the caption of the post invited customers to enjoy the restaurant's nasi padang as it comes "without the nasties" and that anybody can indulge in the "guilt-free" dish.The café added that the dish is made without monosodium glutamate (MSG) and additives.They also claimed that customers could taste the "Indonesian flavours bursting forth minus the guilt".The post with the insensitive caption has since been taken down from the café's official Instagram page.

Image via @theritual.sg (Instagram) via Mothership.SG

Nasi padang is a well-known dish from the Minangkabau cuisine. It originates from the West Sumatra province of Padang in Indonesia.The dish is made up of steamed rice served with an array of pre-cooked side dishes.The criticism online mainly stemmed from the phrase "without the nasties" as netizens — from Indonesia and Singapore alike — did not appreciate the implication the word "nasties" had on the make-up of the dish. Malay Mail reported that Indonesians called out the restaurant on its social media for presenting one of their country's most well-known dishes in a negative light.

Following the backlash, the restaurant posted an apology through its Instagram Stories

The apology on the café's Instagram stories clarified that it did not intend to put anyone or any culture down.Acknowledging that they had removed the earlier post, the café — which champions people to follow healthy rituals for a balanced lifestyle — explained that they had done so as they don't want to upset anyone or spread any negativity."We are definitely not implying that the cultural dish itself is nasty," they stressed."We were just letting our own guests and friends know what we did with our rendition without MSG, artificial flavouring, less oil and no additives (unlike most commercial places do for Asian cuisines)."The café contended that the word "nasties" was intended for any ingredients that may be bad for health, but not for the cultural dish."But again, we shouldn't have written it this way that gives room for misunderstanding and thus create tension," the apology statement read.

Image via SAYS

The café posted another statement on Instagram over the weekend, acknowledging the misunderstanding and apologising for offending netizens

"We love nasi padang and we want to celebrate our love for it with our own interpretation to cater to friends and guests with dietary restrictions," the statement read.The Ritual also took the opportunity to thank those who have come forward to express their views on the issue.They recognised that they have a lot more to learn and promised that they would be more mindful in the way they communicate in the future.

Following the apologies, netizens reiterated their hope that the café understood what mistake was made

What Tun M’s Council Of Elders Has Achieved For Malaysia In The Past

You Can Nominate A 'Lejen' By Sharing Wholesome Stories Of Grab Drivers Or Delivery Riders

Do you remember the time when a GrabFood rider went an extra 20km to deliver food to a woman in Puchong for free because of an address mix-up?

In this story, the woman was touched by the compassion shown by the GrabFood rider who went out of his way to deliver food to her despite her getting her work and home addresses mixed up. The GrabFood driver expressed sadness and concern over the customer not receiving her dinner that night, and proceeded to deliver the order all the way to her house for free.

Or how about the time when a GrabFood rider hugged a man in tears after they broke fast together and he received duit Raya?

As showcased from a TikTok video, the GrabFood rider seemed hesitant to accept the customer's offer — but eventually went along with it just as the azan for Maghrib prayers and breaking of fast is heard in the background of the video.As they were dining, the customer got up from his table to write him a small note with some cash inside to show his appreciation for the rider. The rider in turn, shed tears and proceeded to hug the man.These are the type of Grab stories that you can tell the world.

As part of Grab's 10th year anniversary, they will be running an entirely crowdsourced Grab Lejen initiative that lets users pick and tell their favourite Grab driver or rider story—

Retiree Loses RM682,000 To A 'Bank Negara Officer' In Lengthy 3-Month Scam

A local council retiree in Penang lost a whopping RM682,000 of her savings to a Macau scam syndicate recently

According to Bernama, the 69-year-old woman, who used to work at the Penang Island City Council (MBPP), was in contact with a scammer for over a period of three months and did not suspect anything amiss until she checked her bank account last week.

It began in March when she received a phone call from a "high ranking police officer" from Pahang claiming that her name was registered to an illegal online gambling account

Seberang Perai Utara police chief ACP Noorzainy Mohd Noor, who is currently investigating the case, said she was then connected to a "sergeant" who disclosed her details in an alleged further investigation."[He then] asked her to deal with a Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) officer who would contact her soon for clarification and assistance," Noorzainy said in a statement yesterday, 2 June, reported New Straits Times.Sure enough, the woman was contacted by a man who claimed to be a BNM officer who told her to transfer all her savings into a single bank account to facilitate the investigation.The "BNM officer" also threatened the victim that she would be arrested and remanded if she refused to cooperate.Fearing arrest, she followed the suspect's instructions.

The pensioner also shared TAC numbers with the scammer until 27 May when he suddenly stopped calling her

It was said the scammer called the victim every day to track her movements and to receive the TAC numbers from her."The victim then felt weird because from 28 May until yesterday no call was received from the BNM official as usual," said Noorzainy.The woman finally contacted her bank to ask about her account and was informed that her savings had been transferred a little at a time daily into another bank account.She lodged a police report on Tuesday, 2 June, after she realised the scammer's number was also then unreachable.

"It Has Taken The Govt More Than 20 Years To Realise Why We Are Deprived Of A Living Wage"

Last week, BNM introduced the concept of "living wage" which comprises of three major pillars

Image via Bank Negara Malaysia

According to BNM's 2017 Annual Report, in order to achieve the minimum standard of living, a household's monthly wage must be adequate for the ability to meaningfully participate in society, the opportunity for personal and family development, and the freedom from severe financial stress.Based on a study in 2016, the living wage in Kuala Lumpur ranges from RM2,700 a month for an individual, to RM6,500 monthly for a couple with two children.

Unfortunately, many Malaysians fall short of the recommended household income by BNM. Yesterday, the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) said that it is the government's fault for the influx of foreign workers in the country, resulting in lower wages for locals

Image via MTUC via Malaysiakini

MTUC secretary-general J. Solomon said in his letter to Malaysiakini yesterday, 4 April, "It surprises us that the government took more than 20 years to realise that Malaysian workers are deprived of the RM2,700 minimum wage recommended by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) due to the huge dependency on foreign workers."He said unions have been pointing out to the government regarding the huge number of foreign workers in our country for years.

MTUC said, "The government cannot blame anyone but themselves for the problems caused by excess foreign workers"

Solomon added, "Just three years ago the government made an announcement to bring in another 1.5 million foreign workers."This influx of foreign workers has caused extreme depression to Malaysians in the B40 and M40 category whose right to job opportunities and a decent livelihood were robbed from them for the last 20 years."

The umbrella body of unions welcomes the calls to automate business but Solomon notes that it does not affect labour intense sectors where the dependency on foreign workers is higher

Image via 88razi

Instead, the utilisation of technology will mostly impact the service sectors, where a huge number of Malaysians are working in.He added, "The government and the employers from the service sectors are aggressively using technology to the extent of laying off Malaysians who have served them for many years and replacing Malaysian graduates with foreign graduates without giving any opportunities for these Malaysian workers to prosper."The service sector is in the position to set an example by introducing the RM2,700 as recommended by the Bank Negara Malaysia as most service providers are profiting in the billions, not millions. But unfortunately, the wealth is not shared equitably."

MTUC urged the government to ensure banks and GLCs to lead the way by providing the minimum wage of RM2,700 to employees as there are no foreign workers in banks and the industry has already been using automation and technology since 1980s

Based on JobStreet Malaysia’s 2017 Salary Report, salaries for entry-level positions in the banking industry in the central region of Malaysia can start as low as RM2124 up to as high as RM2966 while junior executives can expect to earn between RM2629 between RM3959.

His letter to Malaysiakini was a response to Second Finance Minister Johari Abdul Ghani, who told employers to hire less foreign workers and utilise technology to meet the minimum recommended wage of RM2,700

Image via MYNEWSHUB

According to Free Malaysia Today, Johari said, "If we want to ensure this country can afford the minimum wage that Bank Negara has indicated, we need to give more attention to automating all our businesses."You can’t rely anymore on foreign workers, and we have to reduce the number of foreign workers in all industries that rely on them."

Do you agree or disagree with MTUC that the influx of foreign workers has caused locals to earn less? Let us know in the comment section below

Authorities have been clamping down on foreign workers working as front liners in the service industry:

                Foreigners Are Only Allowed To Be Hired As Cooks, Immigration Department Says

Foreign workers are not allowed to work as front liners in the service industry.

This Spotlight is sponsored by Tenaga Nasional Berhad.

Have you ever wondered if energy supply companies like Tenaga Nasional Berhad plan to innovate and change in line with the future?

Image via Tenor

Both the industry and consumers like you are changing. This is why companies like TNB have to innovate in order to meet demands and continue to provide a brighter future.

The electrical supply industry is facing difficult challenges that include disruptions in technology and ways to evolve sustainability

In order to reinvent the electric supply industry, these challenges and more will be key discussions at the Conference of the Electric Power Supply Industry (CEPSI) 2018.

Held every two years, CEPSI is the most prominent electricity supply industry conference in East Asia and the Western Pacific region

Image via CEPSI 2018

Over 1,500 delegates from across the world will take part in CEPSI 2018, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur later this year

The 22nd edition of CEPSI looks to bring together power industry companies, utility leaders, and professionals to share their expertise and experience on challenges and give insights impacting the industry. It offers a line-up of influential speakers, fascinating keynote sessions, and technical sessions. Also available are opportunities for industry players to showcase and exhibit their latest technology, products, and services.

The chosen theme for CEPSI 2018 is “Reimagining Utility of the Future” and will focus on how the electricity supply industry is transforming

On the agenda include discussions on how to respond to the emergence of technology disruptions, economic shifts, evolving sustainability and regulatory requirements, and increasing customer expectations.

How will utility companies deal with the emergence of renewable energy?

Image via Asian Power

Other topics to be addressed include megatrends, the energy trilemma, digitalisation, and a smarter future.

Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) secretary general Datuk Seri Dr Zaini Ujang said the industry is currently facing disruptions from various technologies such as the renewable energy

Image via Kementerian Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air (KeTTHA)/Facebook

“Renewable energy will be disruptive to the power industry because it sees a diversification of the people capable of producing energy... anyone can produce it,” said Zaini during the soft launch of CEPSI 2018.Malaysia is striving to reach a 30% renewable energy contribution by 2030 from the current 22.4%. In order to achieve this, consumers will have to become producers. Those who are able to produce energy, will be rewarded by the government in the form of subsidies, large-scale solar facilities, net energy metering mechanisms and more.

Set to be the largest power utility conference ever to be held in the country, CEPSI 2018 will be hosted by Tenaga Nasional Berhad from 17-22 September

Eyka said that she and her husband, Amirul Azizan, 26, had no idea the pain she felt in her stomach on October 18 would result in the birth of her second child, Raiqa Hanania

"On the night of 18 October, my stomach began to hurt while lying on the sofa at home. It was still tolerable that night, but the pain worsened on the early morning of 19 October," said Eyka.At first, Eyka thought she was only constipated, but when the pain became more intolerable, she started screaming and calling for her husband."I started pushing three times until my husband saw a baby's head. He was surprised, but he immediately welcomed our newborn baby," said Eyka.Raiqa was born at 8.45am and was taken by ambulance to Hospital Tuanku Fauziah in Kangar with her mother to receive proper care.

While she was overjoyed with the birth of her second child, Eyka was perplexed that she had been pregnant all along

Eyka stated that she did not experience any symptoms during her newborn's pregnancy, in contrast to the first time she was pregnant, in which she felt nauseous."I also ate like normal and did not have a proper pregnancy diet because I didn't know I was pregnant at the time," she said.Meanwhile, Amirul stated that his baby was born in normal conditions and weighed 3.7kg."When the baby was born, I calmly picked her up and patted her on the back.

A viral post by SJ Echo Facebook page claims that 'unfair' standard operating procedures (SOPs) may force a famous chicken rice seller in USJ 4, Subang Jaya, to close his stall after the man was slapped with a hefty fined of RM3,000 for travelling from home to work and back

In the Facebook post, that was uploaded on Friday, 16 October, SJ Echo said that the small business owner was travelling in his car with his two sisters and one nephew, all of whom work with him at the stall.The owner, Seow Boon Keong, told SJ Echo that his three occupants were slapped with RM1,000 compound each 4pm on 14 October when they were on the way home after business hours at USJ4."We travel from Jenjarom daily to USJ 4 to operate our chicken rice stall. It's 30km one way from Jenjarom. Because of the distance and also because the other three cannot drive, we travel in the same car," he said."All we do as a routine is [to] head to work from Jenjarom in the morning and go home by around 3.30pm when we finish work. We don't go anywhere else," SJ Echo reported the man as saying.

He has been operating the Chuan Kee chicken rice stall in USJ 4 for the last 20 years.

On the day of the incident, Seow and his three family members, who were heading home from work, were stopped along the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) by a policeman near the USJ toll plaza

He then slapped him with RM1,000 compounds each for his passengers despite having produced letters confirming that they work and run the chicken rice stall in USJ 4."The two-passengers a vehicle SOP is not fair for people like us who run a business," Seow said, adding that he may have to close shop every time such a guideline/SOP was imposed under the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.And closing shop would result in him losing his only source of income for the family.

			How are we expected to earn a living during these hard times?
        Seow Boon Keong

"Because of the distance from Jenjarom to USJ 4, it would cost RM40 one way for two persons to travel that distance by Grab," he said, adding that they do not go anywhere else except home to work and back.

The three compounds issued to Seow Boon Keong.

What's the guideline about travelling during CMCO?

According to Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, travelling purposes "must only be for work or buying essential supplies" and only "two people per household" are allowed to leave home.Cross-district travel is not allowed except for work, economic, or industrial purposes.

Netizens have since decried the CMCO guidelines that, they say, don't make sense when it comes to family members travelling together

"If I have a family of five under a roof, I need three cars instead of one to travel to one destination. Then, in a restaurant, I need to sit in separate tables," a Facebook user commented, adding that "the government is increasing our expenses during these difficult times when many have lost their jobs".While another remarked that the current CMCO is "creating a lot of confusion amongst the general public due to the various types of SOPs interpretation by the relevant authorities"."Maybe Ismail Sabri can give an answer, four persons in a family cannot sit in one car but can dine together in the same table. Really confusing," said another user, remarking on the updated SOP about dine-in.Several others echoed similar sentiments with regards to how it doesn't make sense not to allow more than two people who stay under the same roof to travel together for work.Some also noted how the policeman should have practised common sense."Discretions are given to the police to either issue or not the compounds. Somehow, this policeman decided to issue anyways which is not wrong by law but is seen as not compassionate and heartless. They are travelling to/fro work. Not to the malls. More discretion should be exercised," remarked a Twitter user.Others alleged that while everyday Malaysians keep getting fined for the smallest of things amidst the pandemic, no actions are taken against the politicians who don't abide by the same SOPs.The latest allegations follow a similar incident that happened in August when thousands of netizens had accused the authorities of selective enforcement and only going after the people who cannot fight because they are helpless while not touching those in power who are openly flouting the rule.

The public outcry, meanwhile, has reached Subang Member of Parliament (MP) Wong Chen, who said there are grounds for appeal and that Seow and his family can contact his office for assistance

The Subang MP listed down the grounds under which they can file the appeal. "First is the fact that all three passengers are a family and living together, therefore being in the car together does not increase the risk of spreading the pandemic. Second, they were not on a joyride but on their way to work, which is not a prohibited activity under the CMCO," he wrote on his official Facebook page."Based on these two mitigating points the police should consider dropping the total of RM3,000 of compounds and just issue a warning," he said, adding, "it's also wrong for the government to implement strict enforcement when it is also equally guilty of constantly updating and changing the CMCO SOPs".

According to Chen, the government should encourage enforcement authorities to issue more warnings instead of compounds during the first week of the CMCO so that the public has an adjustment period."This particular case also highlights the need to tweak the CMCO two passenger rule, to provide exemptions for family members travelling for work purposes. The economy is not doing well, therefore the CMCO SOPs should not add on further challenges to the overall sluggish economic activities," he said.

A Tapir Fell Into A Longkang In Kota Kemuning And An Adorable Rescue Mission Ensued

A stray cat. A neighbour's dog. A cheeky squirrel.
These are some animals no one would bat an eye at if found roaming in their backyard.

Here's one that you most definitely do not see every day - a tapir.

Image via Albert Ling/Instagram

Since tapirs are typically found in tropical moist forests and jungles, the sight of one in the backyard of a Kota Kemuning home came as a shock to its owner

Image via Albert Ling/Instagram

Albert Ling took to his Instagram to post a video of the adorable animal, believed to have wandered away from a jungle, making its way through his garden at 8.25am on Sunday, 3 March.

Image via Albert Ling/Instagram

"I went outside to feed my cats and there was this huge 'panda' right before my eyes. I thought someone threw a panda soft toy into my backyard, but then it started moving," Albert told SAYS.He quickly realised that it was actually a tapir. "It truly is a magnificent animal. Having a real life tapir right before us was a real privilege and honour," he added.

However, after roaming around the neighbourhood and munching on some bushes, the tapir's spontaneous adventure hit a snag

According to Albert, the mammal became increasingly frightened and "fidgety" after passersby began following it to take photographs.When it tried to flee, the tapir fell into a nearby drain at Jalan Anggerik Eria 31/109 at 9am.

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

For hours, concerned netizens updated each other about the animal's condition on a Facebook group for Kota Kemuning residents.

Image via Facebook

Five hours later, help arrived in the form of several wildlife officers, a net, and a crane

The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) and Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) arrived and safely removed the animal from the drain at 2pm.

Image via Facebook

The rescue mission was celebrated by residents of the area who, invested in its wellbeing, had been waiting with the tapir since it got stuck.Netizens who could not witness the rescue themselves were pleased to receive the good news on Facebook.

What a cutie! We hope that the tapir is safe, happy, and roaming freely in its home. <3

Photos Of Little Afghan Girls Skateboarding Show Us They Are More Than Just Victims Of War

In a country where they're not even allowed on bicycles, girls between the ages of five and 16 are skateboarding, one of the most exhilarating, and oftentimes dangerous, sports in the world!

Image via Jessica Fulford-Dobson

This photograph, taken at a school in Kabul, Afghanistan, shows a little girl wearing an oversized red helmet on her head and bright pink knee-pads over her shalwar kameez, gazing directly at the camera. She stands atop a skateboard, ready to launch herself down a ramp at any second.This is not just a child at play. The battered skateboard at her feet is symbolic of more than a toy. She is part of photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson's attempt to document female defiance in her photo series called Skate Girls of Kabul.

Photographer Jessica travelled to Afghanistan to capture a project called 'Skateistan' set up in Kabul by Oliver Percovich, an Australian skateboarder, to give little Afghan girls the opportunity to skate!

Image via Jessica Fulford-Dobson

Skateistan was set up in Kabul in 2007 by Oliver Percovich, an Australian skateboarder. The award-winning NGO began as a grassroots initiative to create educational and personal empowerment opportunities for Afghanistan’s expanding young population (50% of the country are under 16), with skateboarding as a hook. The project works with about 400 students a week – 40% of whom are girls.

        theguardian.com

After reading about 'Skateistan' in a tiny newspaper article back in 2012, Jessica was hooked. She became determined to document this story of female defiance in a country ridden with conflict.

Image via Jessica Fulford-Dobson

"The article was so short that I nearly missed it. The very idea of Afghan girls on skateboards captured my imagination and I thought it was a shame that such a visually striking story was compressed into a small column of text. We only seem to hear bleak news from Afghanistan, so it was really refreshing to read something so different and uplifting. I knew immediately that the Skate Girls of Kabul would be the perfect subject for me as a photographer," she told HuffPost.The photographer reached out to Skateistan's founder, Oliver Percovich, who agreed to grant her permission into the Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif schools. Fulford-Dobson chose to work simply, without artificial lighting, letting the young women's personalities and natural expressions shine through the images. Some skaters hug their boards adoringly, others strike a rugged pose, while many prefer to be captured in motion, soaring through the skate park with what looks like pure joy.

        huffingtonpost.com

Her project, titled "Skate Girls of Kabul," is now receiving a great deal of attention around the world. But it wasn't easy, she says.

Image via Skateistan

“The first thing that comes to mind is this unexpected juxtaposition of a very conservative country with girls skateboarding,” she said. “And suddenly in my head I could just see swirls of fabric and these amazing outfits on skateboards and I knew I had to go out and see it for myself.”“It wasn’t easy,” she added. “They were very protective of letting anyone from outside into the project. But once they realised I was coming out more as an artist than a journalist, they took a chance on me.”

        theguardian.com

There are some 300 girls who attend the school three days a week, and gets to do skateboarding in the afternoon as a reward for studying. Jessica, who immersed herself in the school for a month for her photography project in 2013, had to return back in 2014 to complete the series after classes at the school were suspended the previous year because of an increase in bombings in the city.

Image via Skateistan

“You’d see the girls, so nervous and timid to begin with, and then they’d go down the ramp and they’d be filled with this pride. It has an amazing power I could never have anticipated,” Fulford-Dobson said.“It was swirls and the movement that I wanted to capture. Rather than just static images, I wanted to get some poetry into these pictures. So, in some of these pictures, you get more of a sense of them floating.”

        theguardian.com

Image via Jessica Fulford-Dobson

Speaking about the motivation in pursuing the project, Jessica says it was her desire to depict the women of Afghanistan as something other than victims of men, war and religious suppression

Image via Jessica Fulford-Dobson

“What I am trying to do is bring back an image of Afghanistan that sheds some light on the human beings in that country. There is a defiance in showing Afghan girls feeling free and liberated, even if it is just in this closed environment. These girls remind us all of how even something as simple an hour of skating can be a highly liberating act,” she added. “It’s funny how a skateboard can become such an evocative symbol.”

        theguardian.com

In terms of Skateistan's vision, skateboarding is just the beginning

The organization hopes to provide their students, many of whom are streetworking children and youth with disabilities, with the skills in leadership, responsibility, creativity and strength to create social change. The students themselves decide what they want to learn -- Skateistan connects them with a safe space and opportunities for them to develop the skills that they consider important.

        huffingtonpost.com

In the meantime, watching the girls skate is absolutely mesmerising. Whatever you do, don't stop the video before you get past minute 1:15. That's when things really start to get going!

"They hurl themselves forward with unstoppable courage, and if they take a tumble they bounce right up again, running back to the queue and cheering on their friends," the artist told Hyperallergic. "Life for these skate girls is undeniably different in so many ways to that of their Western counterparts, but it’s also touchingly, heartbreakingly and amusingly the same."

        huffingtonpost.com

"I hope that the joy, freedom and excitement you can see in the pictures of these Afghan girls is contagious," Jessica concludes!

Syukur.

Namun begitu, ini merupakan cerita disebalik kejadian yang berlaku. Sebelum pasangan pengantin mengetahui mereka ditipu, mereka juga berusaha untuk berhubung dengan syarikat tersebut.

PERTAMA KALI:First time tahu pasal Mahligai Impian bila pergi majlis kawan last year. Memang tiptop, makanan sedap, pelamin baju mekap cantik. Bila tanya membe, dia memang puji habis MI. So sejak tu selalu usha ig MI. Followers dia banyak, review positive mostly. Siap ada 5 branch di Selangor, Melaka, N9, Kuantan dan Johor. Well established lah. Duta nya Norman Hakim & Memey Suhaiza. Few times jugak org2 kt Klang nie amik Mahligai Impian and kami pergi majlis tengok ok je semua.11 Febuari 2018:One day, saya pergi Food Test dengan tunang (sekarang suami). Memang bepuas hati. Kami ambil pakej RM15800 @1000 pax all in. Termasuk katering, pelamin, mekap, baju, dj, photographer, pelayan, pramusaji, kelengkapan dewan. Kami bayar deposit RM1000. Seminggu kemudian, saya bawa ayah dan umi pula. Ayah minta tambah lagi 500 pax. Total jadi RM21450.

Fatin juga turut bertanyakan kenapa akaun Instagram Mahligai Impian sudah tiada lagi? Ini jawapan mereka:

28 Ogos 2018:Kami dikehendaki selesaikn full payment 2 bulan sebelum. Itu adalah syaratnya. Saya mula2 jadi 50/50. Terfikir jugak camne klau saya ditipu. Saya buat2 tanya beberapa Katering lain "Kalau amik dgn katering awak, kena buat full payment 2 bulan sebelum ke atau bayar balance lepas majlis?' Jawapan mereka sama iaitu 2 bulan sebelum kena buat full payment. So kami pun buat full payment pada 28/8/18.

SEMINGGU SEBELUM:Terhenti kejap degupan jantung kejap bila baca post Emma Mohayer berkaitan Mahligai Impian. Saya terus tanya pada wedding planner. Merayu gila2 memohon agar jangan buat mcm nie masa majlis saya nanti. Hari2 saya dok push akk tu..

Fatin juga turut meminta tolong rakan-rakan di laman Twitter untuk kuasa viral selepas tidak tahu apa lagi yang patut dilakukan

Apabila berkunjung ke pejabat syarikat katering tersebut, ternyata telah dikunci dan lori juga ditarik kerana tak bayar

SEHARI SEBELUM:Baru balik kubur ziarah arwah mak, tiba2 dapat panggilan dari Hazimah Hanipah. Dia minta saya pegi ofis Mahligai Impian. Saya cakap ayah tak kasik keluar mana2. Kenapa nie. Dia minta saya call ofis MI plak. Saya dah mula rasa tak sedap hati. Banyak kali tanya kenapa kenapa. Dia tak jawab dan suruh saya call MI dulu. Lepas letak telefon je, saya call akk wedding planner tu. Eh tak dapat lak. Bila wasap, single tick. Gambar dp pum hilang. Ah sudah pasaipa nie. Call ofis MI haram takde sape angkat. Terus wasap zma tanya apa dah jadi. Mesti dia sorok kan something. Zima pun bagitahu. Untuk lebih kepastian, zima minta izin bos dan die pegi ke ofis Mahligai Impian tu. Ternyata ofis tu dah dimangga dan lori MI pun tengah ditarik.

Katering lesap sehari sebelum majls seriously not funny at all. Ingat guna duit daun ke? Benda yg paling takut selama nie memang jadi. Menggigil 1 badan. Duit hantaran dari pihak lelaki burn cmtu je. Punye lah die ikat perut berbulan2. Duit saving sendiri dan duit ayah pun sama lesap sekelip mata. Tak tahu camne nak bedepan dgn ayah. Menangis air mata darah kat bucu katil sekali pun takdak guna. Ayah sampai teduduk bila tahu.Sampai terkeluar gak lah cakap kt ayah "Atin rasa ada baiknya perkahwinan nie dibatalkn jela ayah. Kita buat nikah je.." Ayah cuba tenangkn diri dan jawab "Takpe adik, ayah ada simpanan lagi sikit, bole kot.." Menitis lagi air mata aku. Maafkan adik, ayah..

Paling kelam kabut sekali bila semua syarikat katering menolak penempahan pada masa-masa terakhir.
Sehinggalah....

Benda jadi kelam kabut. Call katering sana sini. Banyak yg menolak sbb last minute sgt. Fikir psl meja kerusi lagi. Nak keluarkan duit banyak2 pun ntah camne dah lewat petang gini hari Jumaat, bank apa je yg masih bukak.Sehingga lah muncul sinar harapan....Datangnya NORMAH CATERING sebagai penyelamat. Allahu syukur alhamdulilah. Ikutkan mula2 die tak dapat nak tolong sbb byk job, tapi dikenangkn jasa ayah dan bebekalkan wajah sugul aku. Nak buat report polis hari Jumaat memang tak sempat sebab busy dgn persiapan lain2. Lepastu dok kalut pasal meja kerusi lak.Settle bab katering baru & meja makan lepas asar tu..Nasib baik pelamin, baju, mekap, dj, photographer takde masalah. Di sebalik senyuman kami sekeluarga, teselit kedukaan kami. Elok habis majlis, tup2 ada reporter dari Metro Harian datang. Kami sama2 pegi buat laporan polis.

Laporan polis yang telah dibuat.

Syukur semuanya berjalan dengan lancar..

ALLAH ADA, KEKUATAN KELUARGA BERSATU.Syukur ke hadrat Illahi, majlis bejalan lancar. Ramai puji makanan sedap. Ayam masak merah & daging dendeng. Air & kuih mcm2 jenis. Siap sediakan makanan meja beradab, ada kek lagi. Meja kerusi pun dorang siap ikut tema asal lagi. Pink blue. Terima kasih semua. Besusah payah membanting tulang membantu dari segi kewangan, fizikal. Sampai mati pun aku takkan lupakan jasa kalian. Moga Allah melipatgandakan rezeki kita semua. Have faith atin. Pasti ada hikmahnya..

Were Pandemics Really Like This In The Past?

A series of photos have gone viral claiming to have been taken during the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918, which affected about one-third of the world's population

Public Health Malaysia posted photos, which have since been shared over 11,000 times on Facebook.Its caption read, "Here are some pictures from the last pandemic over 100 years ago during the Spanish Flu 1918-1920. Looks like history has repeated itself. We haven't succeeded yet. Obey the SOP and suggestions that have been set."

However, not all of those photos are factually accurate. Some of them were not even taken during the pandemic of 1918.
Here's what each photo is really about:

1. Gas capes leftover from war were worn by these two women to keep them from the stinging effects of haze in Philadelphia in 1953

Image via Associated Press/Cantonrep

This photo, which was taken by a photographer from Associated Press, explains that the women wore these "war surplus gas capes" as protection from the smog that had surrounded Philadelphia in November 1953.

2. The woman in this photo wore a flu mask during the Spanish flu crisis

Getty Images, which is selling this photo on its website, describes that it was taken during the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918.

3. This image is of women who wore veils as a part of fashion in 1913

Image via Alamy/Public Health Malaysia

According to photo agency Alamy, which sells this photo on its website, this was taken in 1913 when women wore new veils, inspired by Turkish nose veils, as part of fashion.

4. A picture of a family who wore masks during the Spanish flu crisis of 1918

Image via City of Dublin California Heritage Centre/Daily Mail

This photo of a family and cat supposedly wearing face masks has been circulating the Internet. Although Snopes confirms that this was taken during the Spanish flu in Dublin, California between 1918 and 1920, it is unclear if the cat actually wore a mask or it just has a white face. Unfortunately, because the photo is quite old and blurry, even the coordinator who oversees Dublin's Heritage Park & Museums Tyler Phillips says it is hard to determine from the physical photograph. Snopes does note, however, that it isn't entirely strange that people put masks on their pets back then.

5. These plastic face shields were believed to have been worn to protect against chilling snowstorms in Montreal, Canada in 1939

Photo agency Alamy, which sells the photo here, states that it was taken in Montreal, Canada two decades after the Spanish flu occurred. The cone-shaped headgear was worn to protect against snowstorms.

6. Warehouse that was converted to keep infected patients who were quarantined in 1918

According to Getty Images, this photo was taken during the Spanish flu of 1918.

7. An image of a gas-masked mum pushing her child's pram during a surprise gas test in 1941

Getty Images reveals that this photo was taken on 9 June 1941 when a surprise gas test was run in Kingston.

8. An anti-spitting sign posted on a streetcar during the Spanish flu

Image via Historical Medical Library of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia/The New York Times

According to The New York Times, this poster was stuck on a streetcar in Philadelphia in October 1918. 'Spit Spreads Death' was an exhibition that promoted the now disproved belief that illness could be spread by inhaling dried saliva particles.Back then, posters and signs were placed on lamp posts and streetcars. Offenders who went against these anti-spitting measures were fined.

9. This vintage-looking poster was designed for COVID-19

According to an interview, graphic designer Mathieu Persan designed a series of vintage-looking posters to encourage the French to stay home this year during the novel coronavirus.He encouraged the public to download, share, and print his posters.

10. Two women wearing face masks during the Spanish flu pandemic

A description of this photo on Getty Images states that these two women wore face masks during the outbreak after World War I.

During the flu outbreak, which was first identified in Spain in 1918, all theatres were closed.


How One Typo Killed A 124-Year-Old Business And Cost The UK Government £9 Million

In case you're having a bad day, spare a thought for the owners and 250 staffs of Taylor & Sons Ltd, a 124-year-old firm, which has been forced out of business due to a single spelling error

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Yes, you read it right. A one-letter typo by Companies House, a government agency that acts as the registrar for all companies in the UK, has irreparably damaged the family business!

Image via dailymail.co.uk

We're guilty of the occasional typo too, but we sure hope it doesn't ever cost us as much!

So what really happened? In 2009, Companies House recorded information stating that 'Taylor & Sons Ltd' had been wound up.

Companies House

Following which, the business of 'Taylor & Sons Ltd' evaporated: its orders were cancelled, contracts were lost and credit from suppliers was withdrawn. The 124-year-old company subsequently went into administration, and was finally dissolved in 2014.

Image via Media Wales Ltd

So Companies House was right? Nope! How?

The problem was that Companies House had mistakenly stated that 'Taylor & Sons Ltd' had gone into liquidation. In fact, they had meant to say 'Taylor & Son Ltd', a completely different company, one that actually had closed down.The Independent reported Companies House had inserted a rogue 's' and the actual company that had gone into liquidation 6 years ago was based 200 miles away in Manchester.

While Companies House corrected their typo, which they termed "extraordinary", just 3 days later, by then the damage was done: the information had spread uncontrollably across the Internet

Philip Davison-Sebry, the company's former managing director
Image via dailymail.co.uk

The outcome, said the claimants, was that when Taylor and Sons' customers and suppliers checked its records, they were put off doing business with it. In fact, Philip Davison-Sebry, the company's former managing director, said that despite its attempts to reassure them, within three weeks all 3,000 of its suppliers had terminated their orders, while credit facilities were withdrawn. And while the typo was fixed within three days, "word had got around" and customers - including Tata Steel, with whom it had a £400,000-a-month deal - cancelled their contracts.Davison-Sebry added that one client had called him while he was on holiday.  "They said they weren't happy at all I was on holiday, asking how could I be on holiday at a time like this?"

        cityam.com

Taylor & Sons Ltd then sued Companies House and won

Taylor & Sons' owner Philip Davison-Sebry told the court Companies House had caused the collapse of his business, as customers walked away because they thought it was being wound up.In his judgement, Mr Justice Edis found Companies House owed a duty of care when entering a winding up order to take reasonable care to ensure that the order is not registered against the wrong company. Mr Justice Edis ruled Taylor & Sons had proved that the reason it went into liquidation was because of an error made by Companies House.He also said the company was not consulted to enable it to challenge the mistake. "My finding on the causation issue shows that in this case that harm amounted to the destruction of a company which had traded for over 100 years and which owned a valuable business," he said. However, this is only a preliminary judgement and the issue of damages still has to be resolved.

        bbc.com

While damages have yet to be awarded, lawyers acting for Taylor & Sons Ltd owner Philip Davison-Sebry have valued the company's claim at GBP9 million (that's over RM49.5 million)

Philip Davison-Sebry

Mr Davison-Sebry, 57, has claimed nearly £9 million in damages and a written ruling was published yesterday. The judge made no decisions on levels of compensation in the ruling however a damages assessment is expected at a later stage.

Najib Will Appear In The Latest Season Of 'Dirty Money' On Netflix In March

Another Neftlix show will take a dive into former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his alleged crimes in the 1MDB scandal
