Video Shows Tun M Driving Himself In A Proton Perdana Around Klang Valley

It appears our new prime minister doesn't want to rest

Since the night of 10 May when Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was sworn in as Malaysia's 7th Prime Minister, the 92-year-old immediately got down to business.In fact, Tun Dr Mahathir has been so hard at work ever since he was sworn in as Prime Minister that his wife, Dr Siti Hasmah, has expressed her concerns about his health."He does not have enough sleep. His sleeping time is being used to go through government documents," his 91-year-old wife wrote in a Facebook post.

Now, a video that was posted on Twitter by a blogger Firdaus Abdullah, shows Tun Dr Mahathir behind the wheels of what appears to be a Proton Perdana, while driving himself around Klang Valley on Sunday morning to inspect developments in the city

"Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad driving himself to monitor the latest developments around Kuala Lumpur this morning. Some ask where Dr Mahathir gets overflowing energy at 93 years old. May God always protect this statesman," Firdaus wrote in his tweet, that was uploaded at around 11.40am today.At the time of writing this story, the tweet was retweeted for more than 3,100 times.

Watch the video here:

Anwar: Malaysia's National Debt Has Exceeded RM1 Trillion

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

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stated that the national debt of Malaysia has exceeded RM1 trillion

This divulgence comes with Anwar's stipulation of a review for projects that have already been approved under the previous administration, to ensure no leakages occur."I am examining the files, that's why there are some projects we are asking to be postponed, re-examined, or cancelled. This is not to take a jab at any political figure," he said at his official residence this past Sunday, 11 December, where he had a gathering with Muslim preachers. According to a report by Free Malaysia Today, Anwar had ordered a review of RM7 billion in contracts that were approved under a RM15 billion flood mitigation project conducted through direct negotiations, instead of a tender process.

"Some projects, we postponed, rechecked, or cancelled. If we want to spend, we have to check, this is a matter of good governance," Anwar said.

In his statement, Anwar noted that he wanted to reconsider the flood mitigation projects to avoid any problems from arising.According to Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, those who would be most affected by any issues arising in relation to this project would be members of the public, especially those in poorer communities."Managing the country requires order and rules. Look at the spontaneous approval of flood mitigation projects, there are some unanswered questions, and I ask that they be postponed and re-examined," he said, adding that he will head over to the Ministry of Finance to investigate the matter.

In line with his earlier stipulation, Anwar has stated that he will no longer approve projects without tender, in order to combat corruption. He also went on to warn Cabinet members not to get involved in bribery or misuse their power, as a discovery of such discrepancies and misconducts will see them fired immediately. Anwar said that he will not compromise on such culture in the unity government that he leads.

Check out Anwar's full statement of no longer approving projects without tender:

                Anwar Says Government Will No Longer Approve Projects Without Tender To Combat Corruption

"This cannot and should not happen anymore at all levels," said the new Prime Minister.

Last week, Anwar also revealed that cabinet members have agreed to a 20% pay cut of their monthly salaries:

New York Hipsters Are Obsessed With A Dessert Malaysians Have Been Eating All Their Lives

Minimalistic, vegan, and calorie-free - these are the qualities that probably made the Raindrop Cake such a Instagram-worthy hit when it made its debut in hipster capital Brooklyn, USA last week

Image via Instagram @raindropcake

The light, jiggly Raindrop Cake made its first appearance at Smorgasburg, an outdoor food market in Brooklyn, on 2 April.

Image via Raindrop Cake

Sold at US$8 (RM31.40) apiece, the cake - which is shaped like a gigantic raindrop - is made out of natural spring water and agar, a vegan substitute for gelatin. The flavourless cake is served with black sugar syrup and roasted soy flour.

Image via Raindrop Cake

The refreshing dessert was created by digital marketing strategist Darren Wong, who was inspired by the Mizu Shingen Mochi from Japan. Wong had initially predicted that the cakes will eventually make its way to the US but ultimately decided to make the cakes himself when it didn't happen.

While its shape and texture has been compared to silicone implants, culinary connoisseurs are impressed with the light and delicate texture, praising it for its refreshing watery yet mildly sweet taste

Image via Tiara Chiaramonte / Huffington Post

Its creator describes the experience as one of "refreshment and renewal and clarity that has a happy symmetry with spring showers". Fancy.

Here's the thing - New Yorkers are queueing up to pay RM31.40 for a dessert most of us have eaten and probably made ourselves! In fact, agar jelly cups are typically sold by local vendors at RM1 to RM3 per cup.

Image via Rina's Silly Musings on Wordpress

Okay, maybe it's not as clear as the Raindrop Cake, but not everyone knows where to get "natural spring water" y'know.

Even better, they are available in all shapes and sizes with various colours and even combined with coconut milk!

So don't fret, Malaysians. You're definitely not missing out on the Raindrop Cake... because we have much better (and cheaper) agar jelly!

Ebit Lew Slammed For Making "Fake" Homeless & Religious Content With Indonesian Influencer

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

Celebrity preacher Ebit Lew was recently chastised for posting a series of TikTok videos with an alleged homeless woman in Jakarta, Indonesia

In a video that he posted on Wednesday, 31 May, the woman was seen lying on top of a piece of cardboard at the side of the street.She was then approached by Ebit, who sat next to her and gave her money to ease her burdens.The video then shows Ebit taking her to an indoor space and preaching to her, during which she began to cry and pray to God.The woman was also given a telekung to wear, which she immediately put on and began smiling from ear to ear."Pray for Mondy, in Jakarta, Indonesia," wrote Ebit in the caption of the TikTok video.

Image via @ustazebitlew (TikTok)

The woman in the video, however, turned out to be Mondy, an Indonesian influencer with over one million followers on TikTok

Before Ebit posted his video, Mondy often posts numerous videos on her TikTok account, @mondy_tattoo, of her life as a model.In a clip that she posted on 25 May, during the week Ebit posted his videos of her alleged homelessness, Mondy graciously posed for a photoshoot while donning a shoulderless wedding gown.

Image via Twitter

Since the video was published, a Twitter user has made a thread calling Ebit a religious charlatan for making exploitive content

"You used to 'act' in Malaysia and Palestine, but now you're doing it in Indonesia too? Don't you feel bad using religion for content?" they asked.They also posted a TikTok video that Mondy uploaded on 4 June, in which she was seen happily walking down a street while wearing a traditional Indonesian wedding gown."I'm sorry, I don't hate Ebit Liew, but I hate people who use religion to gain popularity," they added."You're no longer relevant in Malaysia and now you're causing trouble elsewhere. May God guide Ebit Lew so he could change."

Image via Twitter

Other netizens also realised more red flags surrounding the video that Ebit posted, pointing each of them out on Twitter

One Twitter user pointed out that Mondy had braces on in the video, which is perplexing as the corrective device is expensive.

Image via Twitter

Another commented on Mondy's tattoos and explained that having that much body art would cost a lot of money."Tattoos aren't that cheap and look at how many tattoos she has. Her tattoos look like they were made by a professional tattooist too," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

"That hair dye is new and the roots might be around one month old. The dye hasn't even washed off yet," wrote another."That nail polish is also new. Yes, it may look chipped but look at the nail roots and their growth. It might only be a week old," they added.

This 'Brick' Might Look Ridiculous Next To Your Smartphone, But That's The Whole Point

Want to look like you're expecting a call from 1989? Then Binatone has the phone for you.

Its new Brick cellphone is just that, a large, honking device that would seem right at home on the set of "Saved By The Bell."

        virtual-strategy.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

The brick is a two-way device, meaning you can either pop your SIM card in it and use it as your regular cell, or you can connect to it via Bluetooth

The Brick phone offers such state-of-the-art technology as a 1.8-inch color display, the classic "Snake" game, and Bluetooth 2.0 Consumers can add their own SIM card--2G only--or use the Brick as a Bluetooth headset with their smartphone.

        mnn.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

Cleverly, you can view missed calls and texts on the Brick's display, too. For such a large device, the Brick felt fairly light, and its screen was bright, and its backlit buttons were easy to press.

        prweb.com

The Brick’s most compelling selling feature: a one month standby time and 14 hours of talk time

“Smartphones today have notoriously short standby times,” says Lalvani. “The Brick delivers one month of standby time. Think about it – that’s over 700 hours of standby time. That’s 100 times more than many smartphones!”

        prweb.com

Image via blogcdn.com

The POWER edition of THE BRICK sports even more impressive numbers with three months of standby time and 28 hours of talk time

In addition, THE BRICK POWER model can also be used to charge your smartphone via a USB port, making it not only a fun, retro phone but also a great second mobile to have handy in the event of an emergency.

        virtual-strategy.com

Image via gizmodo.fr

Both THE BRICK and THE BRICK POWER models feature a large speaker and a micro SD slot that allows users to load and play their favorite music

The speaker also enables THE BRICK to be used as a hands free bluetooth device. Other features include an FM radio and an LED flashlight.

        androidguys.com

Image via wired.co.uk

The price of this whimsy? The basic version of the Brick costs $70 (RM229). The higher-end Brick Power costs $100 (RM329).

Wait ! Did you say 1 to 3 months of battery life ?
Image via gawkerassets.com

Consumers can also choose between several colors including black, white, orange, and silver.
Those who grew up in the 80s will be so excited--so excited--by the Brick's retro appeal.

Mobile phone era began in 1973 when Motorola launched its new portable phone nicknamed 'the brick'' due to its size and weight

[VIDEO] This Olympics 2014 Ad Shows You The REAL WINNERS Behind Every Great Athlete

Last year, consumer goods giant P&G saw the potential in this idea, and created the “Thank You, Mum” campaign for the 2012 London Olympics

The commercial “Best Job” offered a poignant look at how the mothers of Olympic athletes assisted their children every step of the way from childhood to greatness. It became a hit among consumers and critics alike.

×

This year, the consumer packaged goods giant is has introduced a sequel to that ad for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia

Like the previous ad, this one shows moms helping their young athletes go to practices, absorb disappointments and, of course, get back up again to compete.

Image via christianpost.com

In both ads, the kids also get older through the ad and culminate with them competing in the games.

Image via businesswire.com

The new spot focuses on the physical transitions of childhood, from just learning how to walk to going on to ice skate, snowboard and play hockey—all with mom's watchful eye there to dust off and make better any bruises

While the London ad (called "The Best Job") started with kids around 6 years old or so, the Sochi ad ("Pick Them Back Up") begins with 1-year-olds just learning to walk.

Image via businesswire.com

Despite focusing on a quartet of icy winter sports, the new spot, "Pick Them Back Up," is as warm and fuzzy as it gets

The video follows four future athletes—a skier, ice skater, snowboarder and hockey player—from their first (not so successful) baby steps to their Olympic debuts.

Image via businesswire.com

But the ad isn't really about the athletes, of course

It's about the dedicated moms who were there to pick them up when they fell (which is quite a lot), ice their bruises and warm their freezing toes—and send them back out to try again.

Image via Deseret

As part of the campaign, P&G is sending $US1,000 Visa gift cards to each of the 357 Olympic athletes’ mums, intended to help them travel to Sochi.

[VIDEO] Wanita Luah Rasa Kesal Dengan Situasi Tandas Masa Konsert Di Stadium Bukit Jalil

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Beribu-ribu peminat BLACKPINK hadir di konsert di Kuala Lumpur, yang berlangsung pada hujung minggu di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil

Menurut sumber, hujan atau cerah, ada yang beratur seawal hari sebelumnya, manakala yang lain datang dari kawasan seperti Kelantan dan Sabah semata-mata untuk melihat kumpulan gadis Korea Selatan itu.Bagaimanapun, nampaknya tandas pada konsert itu tidak setanding untuk menampung orang ramai yang hadir.Dalam perkongsian di Instagram oleh Anabelle Co-Martinent, seorang usahawan Cina-Filipina yang tinggal di Malaysia, difahamkan kira-kira 55,000 peminat hadir ke konsert itu. Berbeza dengan 15,000 penonton yang menghadiri konsert Billie Eilish tahun lepas, yang berlangsung di arena yang sama.Lihat posting itu di bawah:

Dia berkongsi bahawa kali ini, penonton konsert menghadapi situasi yang sama seperti konsert Billie Eilish di mana 'keperluan asas' tidak dipenuhi

Disebalik jangkaan orang ramai, sabun dan kertas tandas telah pun habis pada jam 4 petang, beberapa jam sebelum acara itu bermula.Anabelle berkongsi bahawa beribu-ribu orang telah membayar untuk menghadirinya, namun barangan yang paling asas tidak disediakan."Penganjur [konsert] atau pengurusan stadium, sila lihat ke dalamnya. Terima kasih," tambahnya.

US Woman Was Fined RM2,000 After Bringing An Apple Out Of Her Flight

US citizen Crystal Tadlock was not hungry on her flight back home from Paris recently. When a flight attendant gave out free apples in plastic bags, she decided to save hers for later.

According to BBC report published on 23 April, Crystal wanted to keep the apple, which was handed out in a Delta Air Lines plastic bag, for her connecting flight to Denver when she first landed in Minneapolis."I put it in my bag, not thinking anything of it," Crystal was quoted as saying by CNN.

However, Crystal was stopped at customs before boarding her flight to Denver, and the apple was discovered by a US Customs agent

The apple was kept in this Delta Air Lines bag.

"Well, we have an apple. This is a civil violation," the agent told her, according to Crystal. In the US, apples and other agricultural products are considered a customs violation, and therefore necessary to be declared on a passenger's customs form.CNN reported that she tried to explain to the agent that the apple was taken from her flight as it was kept in a Delta Air Lines plastic bag. However, the agent claimed that there was no way to find out if the apple actually came from somewhere in France instead.

Crystal then asked the agent if she should either eat the apple or throw it away, but she was handed a USD500 (approximately RM2,000) fine instead

"He had asked me if my trip to France was expensive and I said yeah," Crystal was quoted as saying by BBC, not knowing why she was asked that question."It's about to get a lot more expensive after I charge you USD500," the agent told her.

Crystal demonstrated where she kept her apple in.

According to CNN, Crystal has filed a complaint against the Customs agent for being "rude" and "seemed to take pleasure" in her situation."It's really unfortunate someone has to go through that and be treated like a criminal over a piece of fruit," she was quoted as saying by BBC.BBC reported that she also plans to challenge the fine in court.

In response to Crystal's situation, Delta Air Lines said the rules of US customs have been made clear at airport entry points and forms

A representative from Delta Air Lines told CNN that the apple was meant to be eaten on the plane. ABC News also reported the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as saying that all agriculture items must be declared. Failure to adhere to the rule will result in a fine of maximum USD1,000 (approximately RM4,000) for first-time offenders.

Make sure you declare your apples the next time you fly to the US!

The Top 3 UMNO Leaders Who Are Eyeing The President Post

A total of seven United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) leaders are in the race for the party's top post

Image via Berita Harian

The party's Supreme Council decided last month that all party posts, including the president and the deputy president posts, will be open for any member to contest in.New Straits Times (NST) reported party executive secretary Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh as saying that seven presidential hopefuls submitted  their nomination papers, the most in the party's history.All eyes are on the party’s presidential contest as the winner is likely to occupy the Opposition leader seat in Parliament where UMNO has 54 seats, which is the most among the opposition ranks.

The following is the list of candidates who are in the running for the UMNO President post:

Image via NST Online

			1. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi - Bagan Datuk2. Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar - Rembau3. Mohd Iqbal Maricair - Bandar Tun Razak 4. Mohd Yusof Musa @ Jamaludin - Iskandar Puteri 5. Rahmat Azim Abdul Aziz - Kota Raja6. Rosile Saat - Bangi7. Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah - Gua MusangThe names of the presidential candidates were announced yesterday, 17 June. However, the finalised list will only be ready on Wednesday, 20 June, according to the party's chief secretary of division Datuk Norazuwan Aziz.It has been said that it will be a tight race between Zahid, Tengku Razaleigh, and Khairy, who have been labelled as the most  established candidates among the seven names.

Here's a closer look at the three candidates:

1. Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi

Image via The Malaysian Insight

Following Barisan Nasional's historic loss in the 14th General Election (GE14), the UMNO deputy president has been discharging the duties of the president after Datuk Seri Najib Razak resigned from the post.In GE14, the former Deputy Prime Minister successfully defended the Bagan Datuk parliamentary seat for the sixth term with a 5,073 vote majority, obtaining a total of 18,909 votes.

Image via Malay Mail

Zahid made headlines earlier this month when he met with Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to seek for the latter's advice on how to manage UMNO.

Image via MHOnline

The 65-year-old recently said that UMNO was more open and democratic now since the party allows its members to contest any position in the party while he stressed on the importance of maintaining unity within the party. "I am open to accepting whomever that wins in order to form a strong UMNO leadership."We must use this contest with the intention to prepare UMNO for the political battle out there and not to create animosity among ourselves," he said in a statement, as reported by Malaysiakini.

2. Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah

Image via NST

Tengku Razaleigh, popularly known as Ku Li, first joined UMNO in 1962. The veteran politician is Malaysia's longest-serving MP after he won the Gua Musang parliamentary seat in GE14. He has held on to the seat for 44 years, having first won it in 1974.After more than 30 years, the 81-year-old Gua Musang UMNO Division chief is running for UMNO presidency for the second time.

Image via Utusan Malaysia

Tengku Razaleigh was a key figure in the 1987 party election when he contested for the top post for the first time. He went against Mahathir, who was the then-incumbent.  This 1987 UMNO polls is infamous for being the historic event that led to the de-registration of UMNO and the 1988 constitutional crisis.Following the 1987 UMNO crisis, after the party was de-registered, Tengku Razaleigh founded Parti Melayu Semangat 46 (S46) in 1989 while Mahathir formed UMNO Baru. However, Tengku Razaleigh eventually returned to UMNO after he disbanded S46 in 1996.

According to Tengku Razaleigh, he made the decision to contest for the president post to bring change to UMNO."I made the decision in the interest of UMNO as a national political party that should uphold racial unity and maintain harmony as the core principles of the nation."I want to ensure that UMNO can be an effective Opposition. At the same time, I will ensure the interests of the party grassroots are protected," the Kelantan prince was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

3. Khairy Jamaluddin

Image via Syarafiq Abd Samad/NSTP

Khairy, fondly known as 'KJ', has gone past his days as just being the "son-in-law of former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi" as he builds his own legacy as a politician.  In GE14, Khairy defended the Rembau parliamentary seat with a smaller 4,364-vote majority compared to the previous election where he secured a 18,357-vote majority.The UMNO Youth chief, who was educated abroad and has an Oxford University degree in politics, initially said he was only going for the vice-president post but changed his mind at the last minute. Should Khairy win the party polls, he will be the party's youngest ever president at 42 years old.

Image via Danial Saad/Berita Harian

Khairy has promised to bring reforms to UMNO ahead of the party polls, as he declared his visions for UMNO. "A party that opens itself to all levels of society and not only to those at the top, nobility, corporate leaders, and elites. "A party for ordinary people. A party that cares for the interest of the ordinary folks. A party that is not racist, sexist, timid, and no longer deaf to the wishes of the people. "A party that is magnanimous to other races and maybe one day, BN can be rebuilt as a big house for all," he wrote in a Facebook post announcing his candidacy on Sunday, 17 June.

The UMNO polls, which were supposed to be held in 2016, has been scheduled to take place on 30 June

The Barisan Nasional coalition, which was the ruling government for more than 60 years, is only left with four component parties including UMNO after GE14:

Several parties have left the Barisan Nasional coalition after about one month since the coalition's defeat in GE14.

FAQ Resit Dan Segala Jawapan Kepada Kekeliruan GST Pada Hari Pertama

1. Apa maksud 'S' dan 'Z' pada resit?

Image via blogspot.com

			1. 'S' bermaksud 'standard rated supplies' iaitu barangan atau perkhidmatan yang dikenakan cukai GST 6%.2. 'Z' bermaksud 'zero-rated supplies' iaitu barangan atau perkhidmatan yang tidak dikenakan cukai GST 6%.

2. Macam mana nak tahu jika kedai itu layak atau tidak layak mengenakan GST?

Image via ekeleh.com

Periksa 'GST ID' pada resit yang dikeluarkan. Jika ada tercatat ID tersebut di bahagian atas resit, maka kedai itu layak mengenakan caj GST 6% kepada pelanggan.Sekiranya tiada, maka cukai GST 6% tidak boleh dikenakan kepada pembeli yang membeli barangan di kedai itu.Hati-hati dengan resit yang ditulis dengan tangan. Sebagai pembeli, anda berhak menyoal tentang kesahihan cukai GST yang dikenakan.Jika peniaga tidak berdaftar tetapi mengenakan GST, anda boleh membuat aduan kepada Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi Dan Kepenggunaan, KPDNKK.

3. Adakah ini memberi maksud cukai SST dan cukai perkhidmatan (service tax) yang dikenakan sebelum ini dihapuskan?

Ya bagi SST. SST dihapuskan sepenuhnya dan adalah satu kesalahan jika peniaga mengenakan GST+SST sekaligus.Untuk cukai perkhidmatan pula, bagi hotel dan restoran, GST dikenakan sebanyak 6%, ditambah dengan cukai perkhidmatan sebanyak 10%, dan digabungkan dengan GST 6% keatas cukai perkhidmatan.

Image via thestar.com.my

Sebagai contoh dalam gambar di atas, harga sebelum dan selepas GST adalah berbeza.1. Pengiraan cukai cara lamaCukai perkhidmatan 10% dan cukai kerajaan 6% dikira secara berasingan keatas harga RM19.50.Cukai Perkhidmatan 10% daripada RM19.50 = RM1.95Cukai Kerajaan 6% daripada RM19.50 = RM1.17Jumlah Cukai = 1.95 + 1.17 = RM3.12Oleh itu, jumlah besar anda akan menjadi RM19.50 + RM3.12 = RM22.622. Pengiraan cukai dengan GSTTerdapat sedikit penambahan dalam mengira harga barang RM19.50.Cukai Perkhidmatan 10% daripada RM19.50 = RM1.95GST 6% daripada RM19.50 = RM1.17GST 6% keatas Cukai Perkhidmatan = 6% x RM1.95 = RM0.117 (atau RM0.12)Jumlah Cukai = 1.95 + 1.17 + 0.12 = RM3.24Oleh itu, jumlah besar anda akan menjadi RM19.50 + RM3.24 = RM22.74

4. Apa pula maksud 'Value-Added Tax' atau VAT pada sesetengah resit?

Mudah baca dan jelas dalam resit mengenai perbezaan barangan berkadar standard dan zero rated GST. Bagus. pic.twitter.com/lPgnzlTuor— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) April 1, 2015

'Value-Added Tax' adalah nama lain bagi GST yang digunakan pada sesetengah resit, seperti yang dimuat naik Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak semalam.

Disebabkan kekeliruan ini, terdapat sesetengah peniaga juga yang membuat kesilapan dalam mengenakan cukai, contohnya 7-Eleven, namun mereka telahpun memohon maaf

Image via http://www.bharian.com.my/node/44753

Rangkaian kedai runcit 24 jam paling terkenal di Malaysia 7-Eleven meminta maaf kerana tersilap mengenakan bayaran cukai barangan dan perkhidmatan (GST) untuk jualan akhbar.Menulis di Facebook, 7-Eleven menjelaskan bahawa perkara itu berlaku akibat kesilapan sistem mesin jualan.“Sejurus sahaja kesilapan sistem itu diketahui kami terus ambil tindakan dengan menarik balik produk ini daripada jualan supaya tidak menyusahkan pelanggan."“Bagaimanapun kami faham bahawa insiden itu menyebabkan kekecewaan kepada pelanggan kami dan oleh itu kami dengan ikhlas memohon maaf,” kata 7-Eleven.

        malaysiakini.com

Jadi, bagaimana nak elakkan kejadian ini berulang? Ikuti beberapa tips di bawah:

a) Sentiasa periksa 'GST ID' pada resit yang dikeluarkan. Hanya peniaga berdaftar sahaja yang layak menerimanya.

Image via theborneopost.com

b) Resit haruslah dicetak, bukan ditulis. Resit bertulis tidak boleh mengenakan caj GST 6%.

Image via FizGee Dak Pizs

c) Anggarkan berapa jumlah pendapatan tahunan bagi peruncit tersebut, sama ada lebih RM500,000 atau kurang.

Image via imgur.com

Menurut GST.com, peruncit perlu memperoleh pendapatan minimum sebanyak RM500,000 sebelum mereka layak mengenakan GST. Ini adalah untuk memastikan perniagaan kecil boleh hidup dengan bebas GST dan tidak perlu menanggung kos pendaftaran. Walau bagaimanapun, harus diingat peruncit yang belum mencapai jumlah minimum juga boleh secara sukarela memohon untuk berdaftar GST.

d) Layari gst.customs.gov.my bagi mendapatkan butiran lanjut tentang barangan dan perkhidmatan yang dikenakan GST.

Image via says.com

Anda boleh cari maklumat seperti:i. Nama perniagaanii. Nombor pendaftaran perniagaaniii. Nombor pendaftaran GST

Sekiranya masih terjadi penipuan dalam pengiraan cukai GST oleh peruncit, anda boleh terus mengemukakan aduan kepada Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan (KPDNKK)

Alwi (kanan) bersama Ketua Unit Akta Pencatutan, Rozma Abd Rahman menunjukkan buku yang perlu dimiliki pengguna bagi membantu mereka lebih memahami berkaitan harga barangan sebelum dan selepas perlaksanaan GST.
Image via sinarharian.com.my

"Kita tidak menolak kemungkinan terdapat sesetengah peniaga ada yang cuba mengelirukan pengguna melalui perlaksanaan GST, sebagai contoh mereka mengelirukan sama ada ‘government service tax’ atau ‘goods and service tax’ ia sama sahaja menggunakan singkatan GST.“Sekiranya aduan diterima tindakan segera akan dikenakan serta dakwaan terus dibuat di bawah Anti Pencatutan dan Kawalan Harga,” kata Timbalan Pengarah KPDNKK Pahang, Alwi Abd Hamid.

Probe Launched After Several Allegations Of Empty Syringes Administered By PPV Workers

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

There have been several allegations of empty syringes administered at COVID-19 vaccination centres (PPV) in multiple parts of Malaysia

Of these allegations, two were at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur and the Bangi Avenue Convention Centre (BACC) in Selangor over the weekend.In both cases, recipients involved had lodged police reports.A third case took place at the Sungai Petani Airport Camp drive-through PPV in Kedah on 17 July.The PPV worker in Kedah was caught on video, which showed that while the worker inserted the syringe into the recipient's arm, she did not inject it, according to a report in Free Malaysia Today.Personnel from the camp's armed forces hospital were in charge of vaccinations at the PPV, where the vaccine drive was specially provided for members of the armed forces and their family members.

Authorities have since launched investigations into the allegations

While the investigation into allegations of empty syringes administered at KL and Selangor PPVs is still underway, disciplinary action has been taken against the PPV worker in Kedah.In a statement on Monday, 19 July, the COVID-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) said that it is concerned about the allegations that have gone viral on social media and that it took them seriously.CITF is currently working with the Royal Police Malaysia (PDRM) and the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) to investigate the matter so that such incidents do not happen again, the statement added.It said that an investigation was carried out by ATM in relation to the Kedah incident."Whereby the individuals involved were called in to provide explanations and disciplinary action has been taken against the vaccination (who was caught on video)," CITF said.

"Police are currently investigating (the other two cases) and any development will be updated by the authorities. If found guilty, CITF will not hesitate to end the services of the staff and take strict action."

CITF also reminded that every vaccinator must show the syringe containing the vaccine to the recipient for proof before injecting it

"The public is also advised to look at the syringe before and after the vaccination process to boost confidence that the dose and injection of the vaccine have been given as it should be," it added.

CITF memandang berat tentang dakwaan mengenai isu suntikan vaksin COVID-19 yang tular.CITF sedang bekerjasama dengan pihak berkuasa, termasuk @PDRMsia dan ATM yang menjalankan siasatan tentang perkara ini agar kejadian ini tidak berlaku lagi. pic.twitter.com/ojLYa0Pxc0— Vaksin COVID-19  (@JKJAVMY) July 19, 2021

In another case, a woman was denied entry to Kompleks Masyarakat Penyayang PPV due to its conservative dress code:

Here Are 7 Types Of Kebaya You Probably Never Knew Existed

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

The kebaya has always been a Southeast Asian favourite with its evergreen designs and constant innovation

Baju kurung and kebaya are traditional Malay attires that have been innovated through the years. These classic attires are famously worn for special occasions like weddings and annual Raya gatherings. There are now so many variations of the kebaya that have been modernised and adapted to suit the current trends and preferences.It is mostly apparent in Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, where the timeless art of batik that has been kept alive through history, has contributed greatly to the development of the kebaya fashion industry.

Here are the seven types of kebaya you should know:

1. Nyonya kebaya

Image via ExpatGo

A famous kebaya style in Malaysia is undoubtedly the Nyonya kebaya, which originated from the Baba Peranakan community. This kebaya style is made out of sheer fabric and usually paired with a sarong or batik skirt. Some even style it with colourful songket or batik lepas. Its signature is the handmade embroidery that can be seen at the bottom section of the kebaya. Sometimes, these embroidery can even take up half of the kebaya itself. The design of the embroidery typically uses flora and fauna motifs.

2. Kartini kebaya

Image via Buka Review

The 'Kartini' kebaya fashion is inspired from the Indonesian icon, Kartini, a women's rights activist who advocated for female education. She donned this kebaya style so often in her daily life that the kebaya was named after her.This style of kebaya usually uses thick, cotton fabric with a V-line shaped collar. A prominent feature of this type of kebaya is its clean, signature fold. The length of the kebaya goes past the hips and gives the wearer a long, slim look.

3. Javanese kebaya

Image via AirAsia

Javanese kebaya is commonly in black and has a minimalistic design as compared to other kebaya styles. The fabrics used to make this type of kebaya is either opaque or semi transparent.This kebaya can have a plain or patterned design, and some of the most popular fabrics used to make this kebaya include silk and velvet material. It's also most often paired with a dark or brown skirt.

4. Balinese kebaya

Image via Kintamani.id

Similar to its Javanese counterpart, the Balinese kebaya also has the same signature V-neckline and folded collar. Each type of Balinese kebaya has its own design and specific purpose, such as for traditional events and social status.This type of kebaya is form-fitting and typically uses cotton or brocade fabrics that are almost see-through. Initially worn with a brooch, now it is mostly worn with a shawl tied around the waist.

5. Kutubaru kebaya

The Kutubaru kebaya originated from Central Java and is almost similar to the Javanese kebaya design.However, the Kutubaru contains an extra fabric that connects the opening of the kebaya across the chest and abdomen, producing a rectangle-shaped collar, in order to mimic the look of an unbuttoned kebaya worn over a matching skirt in the past.

6. Sundanese kebaya

Sunda kebaya is mostly made with brocade. This kebaya is the most popular among Indonesians for weddings. This kebaya style is frequently improvised into a wedding dress, like adding on a long train inspired by European wedding fashion. The Sunda kebaya is form-fitting and has a U-shaped collar that is often embroidered with beads.

7. Eurasian kebaya

The Eurasian kebaya, also known as Noni kebaya, came into prominence during the Dutch colonisation of Indonesia. The Dutch women began wearing loose-fitting kebaya due to the hot weather in Indonesia.Adapted from the kebaya worn by Nyai, the native Indonesians working in the colonial households, the Dutch women started wearing kebaya for formal events instead of the European dresses with corsets.This kebaya style was mostly white in colour and used a very light fabric, adorned with lace imported from the Netherlands. They even designed kebaya for evening wear made with black-coloured silk fabrics.

Malaysia's First Female Commercial Plane Pilot Passes Away

Malaysia's first female commercial plane pilot, Janet Chen Nyuk Jin, passed away at the age of 68 last Wednesday, 7 December

According to The Star, the reason for the mother-of-one's passing was not disclosed.Daily Express reported that she drew her last breath in the early hours of Wednesday at the Gleneagles Hospital in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Chen joined airasia in May 2002, making her the first female commercial plane pilot in the country who had turned her hobby into a career.Additionally, she was also recorded as Malaysia's first female pilot to have flown a commercial Boeing 737, an aircraft that can carry between 119 and 215 passengers.

Prior to becoming a commercial plane pilot, she had two decades of flying experience

According to a 2006 interview that Daily Express cited, Chen said she obtained her commercial pilot's licence in 1981 after a brief working stint as an accounts executive.It was understood that she was an economics graduate of Monash University in Australia in the 1970s. When she returned to Kota Kinabalu, she did not know what she wanted for herself.However, when looking for a job, she stumbled upon Yayasan Sabah, which was offering flying scholarships."I was the only female among the first batch of successful applicants sent for a 13-month training course in Scotland," she said.

Image via Facebook

Chen later joined Sabah Air, where she served 21 years carrying out various assignments, including flying former transport minister Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik and emergency medical flights

She had also flown geographers and photographers for mapping missions and aerial shoots, respectively.As a woman pilot in the 80s and 90s, she received much derision and scepticism regarding her ability to fly."I was her colleague in the 1990s," The Star quoted Captain Naru Kiob as saying, adding, "At that time, there was much scepticism about female professionals, including in our line of work."Kiob, who described Chen as a strong, tactful, and dedicated person, said many clients requested a change of pilot whenever they saw Chen's name and found out that she was a woman.They initially complied with such requests before eventually telling the clients to wait if they did not wish to fly with Chen."Later, many had to just accept her as their pilot, and all survived their flights," Kiob said in jest.

Image via Daily Express

Chen joined airasia after many of her friends and former colleagues encouraged her to apply to the low-cost carrier, which was looking for a female pilot at the time

"Things were just falling into place. The right time, right place, and right people," the late Chen said.She said she was grateful that airasia accepted her and hoped the company would open more doors for women to become pilots.


Factory Linked To Klang Valley Water Cuts Has Been Operating Illegally Since 2014

The factory under investigation for polluting Sungai Gong has been operating illegally since 2014

According to New Straits Times, over the past six years, the factory has been conducting business without any licence or permission from the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS).Furthermore, MPS data found that the company had not made any application for a licence since 2014 despite being urged by the authorities.MPS Corporate Department director Mohd Zin Masoad said, "Apart from operating without permission, the factory which is believed to be involved in carrying out various other business activities had also constructed building structures within their premises without any written permission from MPS.""The owner or factory management did not send any application to conduct business," he added.

The river contamination had forced four water treatment plants to halt operations, leading to sudden water cuts.
As of today, 8 September, water supply in the Klang Valley has yet to be fully restored.

On Thursday, 3 September, Air Selangor announced that some areas in the Klang Valley will face unscheduled water disruption.

The affected areas include Kuala Lumpur, Petaling, Klang/Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor, Hulu Selangor, Gombak, and Kuala Langat.

Today, Air Selangor announced that water supply has fully restored in several places namely Hulu Langat, Kuala Selangor, and Kuala Langat, while Petaling, Gombak, and Kuala Lumpur can expect full restoration soon.

Currently, only 59.3% of water supply in Klang and Shah Alam has been restored.

Owners of the factory have been arrested and taken to Selayang court to assist in ongoing investigations

Bernama reported that the four suspects, who are brothers and managers of the factory in Rawang, were arrested during an operation carried out from 11pm to 12.30am on Friday, 4 September.Selangor police chief Datuk Noor Azam Jamaludin said, "The four suspects, aged between 50 and 60, were either picked up from their homes (in Selayang) or detained when they reported to the Gombak district police station."They have been placed on remand for six days starting Saturday, 5 September, and the case is being probed under Section 430 of the Penal Code.

There Are Only 250 Malayan Tigers Left In The World. Here's What You Can Do About It

Global Tiger Day is happening this Saturday on 29 July 2017. Head over to The Square, Publika from 12 noon onwards to join Tiger Beer and pledge your support to stop the illegal tiger trade.

As of November 2016, it's estimated that there are only 250 Malayan tigers left in the world

Image via Julie Larsen Maher

The Malayan tiger is a tiger subspecies that are found only on the Malay Peninsula and the south of Thailand.According to a news article, the Malayan tiger population grew by merely two with the birth of a pair of tiger cubs in the Bronx Zoo back in 2016. While this is certainly good news, the Malayan tiger is still listed as critically endangered by the International Union For the Conservation of Nature.

Combined with other tiger species, the current world population of tigers is estimated to be only 3,890

Image via Synergize.me

This is shocking as there were about 100,000 tigers roaming in the wild 100 years ago. A century later, less than four percent of the population is what's left. This means that an estimated 100 tigers are killed every year by poachers and hunters.

These are the reasons why tigers around the world are disappearing rapidly:

The illegal tiger trade thrives on high demand for tiger products

Image via Paul Hilton

Image via Endangered Species

Image via Tiger Time

Image via National Geographic

The illegal tiger trade is a blackmarket business that is worth USD20 billion per year. It's thriving because there's high demand for tiger products, such as rugs made from their skin, traditional medicine made from their bones, and stuffed tigers for decorative purposes. Besides that, there are also people who participate in trophy hunting, where they hunt tigers for fun.The only way to stop this is to stop the demand. When there's no demand for tiger products and trophies, there won't be any killings too.

Many of them are killed by snares and traps as well

Image via WWF

Snares are traps made from sharp cable wires shaped into a noose. Hunters and poachers like using them as they are cheap and easy to make. However, they are also one of the cruelest traps used on animals.Tigers experience excruciating pain once they walk into a trap. According to Mike Baltzer, leader of the Tigers Alive initiative from WWF, the pain could kill them even before the hunters or poachers get to them - and it's a slow, torturous death.

Image via PDP

A Sumatran tiger was found by rescuers a week after it was trapped, when its paw was already rotting. Unfortunately, the tiger died before they could release it from the snare.

Image via WWF India

The large numbers of traps and deforestation have caused tigers to lose about 40% of their natural habitat between 1996 and 2006. What's more alarming right now is that as of 2016, only 7% of their home is left.All these make tigers feel unsafe, thus discouraging them to mate and reproduce. Without new tiger cubs to replace the dying tigers, it's no wonder the numbers of tigers in the wild are decreasing.

To raise awareness about the situation, Tiger did a social experiment to see how Malaysians would react to products made from tiger parts:

What can be done now? In 2006, Perhilitan hosted a workshop to develop the National Tiger Conservation Action Plan (NTCAP).

Image via 4 Nature Lah!

The action plans were implemented from 2008 to 2015 with the aim of giving tigers a future and to have at least 1,000 tigers surviving in Malaysia's Central Forest Spine by 2020.

WWF also started the Tx2 initiative in 2010 to save the tigers

Image via Vivek Sinha

The Tx2 commitment is an initiative that WWF and 13 governments from tiger range countries, including the Malaysia, are working on. This ambitious project aims to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, making sure that there are at least 6,000 tigers in the wild by the next Year of the Tiger.

This year, Tiger Beer is also donating USD1 million to WWF to help with the Tx2 initiative

Image via Tiger Beer

According to Baltzer from WWF, the money will be used to raise awareness about the illegal tiger trade to stop it, and train rangers to protect and manage national parks and areas where tigers are. The donation will also be used for other wildlife conservation efforts as well.

They are also launching the #3890Tigers campaign together with WWF to raise awareness about the initiative

Image via Tiger Beer

#3890Tigers is a digital campaign that aims to raise awareness about the threats tigers face and support WWF's Tx2 commitment. Tiger Beer and WWF approached six artists from around the world to create six creative art pieces using tigers as the subject. These six art pieces are then combined with the Tiger Art Intelligence Tool to allow social media users to create selfies based on the styles of those six artists.

Image via Tiger Beer

Limited edition Tiger Beer bottles without the logo are also released to mirror the fact that tigers are disappearing

Image via SAYS

Baltzer from WWF said that tigers could disappear within our lifetime if we don't do something to stop the killing now. The limited edition packaging is accompanied with a question: "Can you imagine a world without tigers?"

We can't imagine a world without tigers. Can you?

You can stop tigers from disappearing by pledging to fight the illegal tiger trade on 3890tigers.com

Image via Tiger Beer

Log onto 3890tigers.com and take a selfie. Then choose your favourite art piece out of the six featured ones to be merged with your selfie. Once it's done, share it on your social media pages with the hashtag #3890Tigers to pledge your support. By combining your selfie with a tiger art piece, Tiger Beer's Global Director Mie-Leng Wong said that this symbolised human and nature can indeed coexist. It is a powerful message that everybody can send out and help raise awareness about the situation.

21 Brain Foods That Are Supposed To Make You Smarter

1. Fish with high levels of fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, anchovies, trout, and sardines

Image via Shemazing!

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for your brain. These beneficial fats are linked to improved cognition and alertness, reduced risk of degenerative mental disease (such as dementia), improved memory, improved mood, and reduced depression, anxiety and hyperactivity.

        alternet.org

Fish contains high levels of the fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). EPA acts like an anti-inflammatory element in the body, and also helps to prevent blood clotting, which can trigger a heart attack or stroke. DHA is concentrated in large amounts in the brain and is now considered a vital nutrient to enhance learning ability and mental development.

        bodyandsoul.com.au

Researchers at Tufts University found that people who ate fish 3 times a week and had the highest levels of DHA in their blood slashed their risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 39%.

        prevention.com

2. Oysters

Image via sophiaouyang's Tumblr

Oysters are rich in selenium, magnesium, protein and several other nutrients vital to brain health. In one study researchers found that men who ate oysters reported significantly improved cognition and mood! Not all shellfish are good for you but oysters are a sure bet.

        alternet.org

3. Egg yolks

Image via Nom Nom Paleo

Eggs are not only a great source of protein, the yolk also contains the memory-promoting nutrient choline. Choline is a key component of two molecules in the brain: phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. These two molecules account for a high percentage of the brain's total mass, making choline vitally important for brain function.

        bodyandsoul.com.au

4. Curry

Image via Tumblr

Animal studies have shown that curry’s active ingredient, curcumin (derived from turmeric or kunyit), actually clears away Alzheimer’s-causing proteins in the brain called amyloid plaques.

        prevention.com

5. Red hot chilli peppers, including by-products such as chilli powder and cayenne pepper

Image via Austchilli

Hot peppers are bursting with capsaicin, a compound most famous for its use as a natural fat fighter and pain reliever. But according to 'The Happiness Diet' authors Tyler Graham and Drew Ramsey, M.D., our brains benefit from the heat-packing compound, too. The human brain is actually loaded with receptors for capsaicin, which release stress-reducing endorphins, making it easier for us to focus.

        rodalesorganiclife.com

6. Fresh garlic, unpeeled and unchopped. Peeled and chopped garlic actually has zero nutritional value.

Eat them like this.
Image via Herbal Healing

Not only is it fabulous for reducing bad cholesterol and strengthening your cardiovascular system, garlic exerts a protective antioxidant effect on the brain.

        alternet.org

7. Leafy greens (e.g. spinach, kale, bok choy, romaine lettuce) and cruciferous veggies (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and brussel sprouts)

Image via Carrie Fehr

Dark-hued leafy greens are nutritional powerhouses. Spinach has been found to slow age-related problems and cognitive deficits. Also, its high levels of iron help to restore energy and improve the function of your red blood cells. Broccoli contains vitamin K — which strengthens cognitive abilities — and choline, which improves memory.

        businessinsider.my

Image via Wellness by Zoe

Scientists have proven that the cruciferous plant is packed with molecules that our bodies convert into diindolymethane, an immune-system booster that helps protect new brain cells. Its antioxidant content helps clean up cancer-causing free radicals, waste products your body makes when it uses fuel to create energy.

        rodalesorganiclife.com

A study at Harvard Medical School followed 13,000 women for 25 years and found that increased vegetable intake was associated with reduced cognitive decline.

        lifehack.org

8. Tomatoes, preferably cooked

Image via Simple Bites

Cooked tomatoes release lycopene, an antioxidant that is particularly good for the brain and is believed to help prevent dementia. Yep, that includes ketchup too, although you should probably look for other sources - like fresh tomato sauce or tomato puree - as ketchup does contain quite a bit of sugar.

9. Apples

Image via WeHeartIt

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is very likely true when you consider that this formidable fruit contains catechins, substances that show promise in protecting us from brain-damaging chemicals all too common in everyday products. Just be sure to choose organic apples; the catechins are in the fruit's skin, the part exposed to pesticides in chemical farming.

        rodalesorganiclife.com

10. Berries, especially blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. If you're not a fan of berries, pomegranates work just as well.

Image via Karn-a-copia

Berries are brain boosters, and for several different reasons. Raspberries and blueberries contain anthocyanin compounds that protect brain neurons linked to memory. Strawberries' fisetin compounds build long-term memory strength. A British study found that eating about a cup of blueberries a day can markedly improve memory in just a few months.

        rodalesorganiclife.com

Blueberries are possibly the best brain food on earth: they have been linked to reduced risk for Alzheimer’s, shown to improve learning ability and motor skills in rats, and they are one of the most powerful anti-stress foods you can eat.

        alternet.org

A study at Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that eating berries could “delay cognitive aging by up to 2.5 years.”

        lifehack.org

11. Avocados

Image via Shades of Rouge

Science shows that avocados improve blood supply and oxygen to your brain, and can boost planning and critical-thinking skills. They also contain high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, which protect nerve cells in the brain.

        businessinsider.my

Avocados are pretty high in calories, however, so consume with moderation.

12. Water

Image via Tumblr

Your brain is made up of approximately 75 per cent water, therefore staying hydrated is absolutely vital for optimum brain performance. Health professionals believe the number one cause of memory loss, at any age, is dehydration and the simple act of drinking a large glass of water can dramatically improve brain function.

        bodyandsoul.com.au

A small Ohio University study found that people whose bodies were well hydrated scored significantly better on tests of brainpower, compared with those who weren’t drinking enough.

        prevention.com

13. Alcohol, especially red wine, in moderate amounts

Image via Giphy

In one JAMA study, people who had one to six drinks a week were 54% less likely to develop dementia than teetotalers. Experts aren’t sure why, but some doctors point out that moderate drinkers have reduced rates of heart disease, too. Small amounts of alcohol may protect both the heart and brain by preventing blockages in blood vessels.

        prevention.com

A study in Norway found that those who didn’t drink at all had lower cognitive abilities than those who did. The results were especially significant for women.However, be sure to drink in moderation, as alcohol slows down the brain’s ability to function properly.

        businessinsider.my

14. Brewed tea

Image via Tumblr

Tea is packed with antioxidants that increase neuron production in your brain. A study published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research found that EGCG, an inorganic compound in green tea, prevents memory loss and degenerative diseases.

        lifehack.org

15. Coffee, but not if it's loaded with sugar, milk, creamer, and all the frills

Image via Giphy

Your morning coffee does more than just wake you up – it also boosts your brain power. Research shows coffee improves memory and speeds up reaction times by acting on the brain's prefrontal cortex, the area responsible for short-term memory. A lifetime of coffee consumption has even been associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, a brain disease affecting memory, thought and language.

        bodyandsoul.com.au

One French study found that women over 65 who drank three or more cups of coffee a day were better able to recall words than women who consumed little or none. Another review showed that coffee drinkers may cut risk of Alzheimer's by up to 30%.

        prevention.com

16. Chocolate in any form, particularly dark chocolate and hot cocoa

Image via Love This Pic

Harvard doctors say dark chocolate makes you smarter. The research team studied the benefits of cocoa — specifically flavanol, a natural compound in cocoa beans — and determined that it can increase memory and thinking abilities.

        businessinsider.my

Flavonol compounds in dark chocolate help boost your circulatory system, promoting better blood flow to the brain. In fact, they could even improve your math skills. A 2009 study asking study participants to count backwards in groups of three discovered that those who drank flavonol-fueled hot cocoa calculated more quickly and were less likely to feel tired or mentally drained.

        rodalesorganiclife.com

17. Complex carbohydrates, like whole grains (e.g. oatmeal, oat bran, brown rice, and wholewheat bread) and beans

Image via Full Life Nutrition

Complex carbohydrates provide a slow release of glucose to the brain – the only sugar the brain can absorb. Glucose is required to fuel the brain cells that are responsible for concentration, memory and learning.

        bodyandsoul.com.au

Oatmeal, in particular, is packed with fiber, a reasonable amount of protein, and even a small amount of Omega-3’s. It’s a good grain that will sustain you throughout the morning so you aren’t prone to irritability or an energy crash.

        alternet.org

Image via Tumblr

Beans are often overlooked, but they can work wonders for your brain (and they’re economical). They contain an ideal blend of complex carbohydrates and protein; this allows them to be digested slowly, which ultimately helps stabilize glucose levels and curb fatigue.

        businessinsider.my

18. Nuts, such as walnuts, cashews, pistachios, almonds, and macadamia. Try to stay away from peanuts, as they have less healthy fats than the other nuts.

Image via Pinterest

Nuts contain protein, high amounts of fiber, and they are rich in beneficial fats. The complex carbs will perk you up while the fat and protein will sustain you.

        alternet.org

Nuts are bursting with vitamin E, which is correlated with less cognitive decline as you age. In addition to boosting brain power, they also stabilize your mood.

        businessinsider.my

Walnuts are packed with essential fatty acids, critical for brain and nervous system performance. The brain is a very fatty organ and requires adequate amounts of these fatty acids for optimum function and cognition.

        bodyandsoul.com.au

19. Seeds, such as sunflower seeds (kuaci), sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds

Image via Diabetes Need

Seeds contain a lot of protein, beneficial fat, and vitamin E, as well as stress-fighting antioxidants and important brain-boosting minerals like magnesium.

        alternet.org

Pumpkin seeds are tiny treasures filled with tryptophan, a crucial building block of brain health used to create serotonin, a key component of mood and brain health.

        rodalesorganiclife.com

20. Oils with healthy fats, such as olive oil, canola oil, and even coconut butter and nut butter

Image via Le Petit Erudit

Avoiding fat can increase foggy thinking, mood swings, and insomnia. A diet rich in healthy fats is essential to clear thinking, good memory, and a balanced mood. Your brain is made of fat, after all.Avoid processed fats found in pastries, chips, candy bars, snacks, junk food, fried foods and prepared foods. Most processed foods and fast foods use corn oil, palm oil, soybean oil and other Omega-6 fats. You don’t want Omega 6 fats. Even saturated fat is safer than Omega 6’s. Eating the wrong fat can literally alter your brain’s communication pathways.

        alternet.org

21. Lard (pig fat)

The white part, that's lard.
Image via ALAMY

The right type of lard can actually do wonders for your brain; specifically your mood. Lard's oleic acid is a monosaturated fat that lowers your risk of depression. It's also a rich source of vitamin D, a vital hormone believed to stave off dementia.
