Man Sues Almost Everyone For USD2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Where there's blame, there's a claim, so they say. But for the subjects of this lawsuit, which is being describing as the largest in history, paying up could prove difficult.

To put it in perspective: even if they managed to get hold of the money equivalent of the estimated economic value of all of the goods and services ever created in the history of humanity ($2,400,000,000,000,000), they would still find themselves unable to pay.

A man is currently suing the City of New York and other defendants for USD2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. That's more money than actually exists on the planet.

According to the legal humour blog 'Lowering The Bar', the man who is named Anton Purisima, 62, has demanded $2,000 decillion (that's 36 zeros) in a hand-written lawsuit filed in April, requesting damages for "civil-rights violations, personal injury, discrimination in national origin, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy to defraud".

Purisima is representing himself in a case against the city of NY, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Au Bon Pain, two hospitals, KMart, and several others

He correctly listed the obscure number few have heard of - which is written with a "2" followed by 36 zeros - in a fabulously frivolous 22-page complaint that rambles on by accusing the defendants of everything from civil rights violations to attempted.

        nypost.com

It states his pain and additional damages "cannot be repaired by money" and is "therefore priceless". He includes evidence of his injured finger.

During his ordeal, Purisim claims he suffered civil rights violations, personal injury, discrimination on national origin, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy to defraud.

        dailymail.co.uk

The full list of defendants in the case include Au Bon Pain, Carepoint Health, Hoboken University Medical Center, Kmart Store 7749, St. Luke's Emergency Dept., New York City Transit Authority, City of New York, NYC MTA, LaGuardia Airport Administration, Amy Caggiula and Does 1-1000 which refers to a thousand 'John Does'.

        ibtimes.co.uk

In a seemingly unconnected additional claim bundled into the document, he is also seeking compo for being routinely overcharged for coffee at LaGuardia Airport. He claims that some of the additional woes he suffered from the bite, including the pain, "cannot be repaired by money" and are "therefore priceless".

        independent.co.uk

Priceless indeed as such a ridiculous amount of money would be impossible for any corporation to pay. As the What If? website notes:

'Even if Au Bon Pain conquers the planet and puts everyone to work for them from now until the stars die, they wouldn't make a dent in the bill.'

        dailymail.co.uk

Purisima, who will represent himself during proceedings (presumably to keep costs down), has form for lawsuits

Also, this isn't Purisima’s first lawsuit. In last four years he has filed lawsuits against the People's Republic of China, several major banks (including Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, and Wachovia, the Commissioner of Social Security, Lang Lang International Music Foundation, and others.

Mulai Tahun Depan, Murid Sekolah Rendah Tidak Lagi Lapar & Bakal Nikmati Sarapan Percuma!

Mulai tahun hadapan, murid-murid di semua sekolah rendah bakal mendapat sarapan secara percuma!

Image via FMT

Perkara ini telah diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad di Invest Malaysia 2019, semalam, 19 Mac.Memetik laporan dari Berita Harian, program sarapan percuma ini adalah hasil pembiayaan daripada cukai gula yang sudah diumumkan sebelum ini tetapi ditangguhkan pelaksanaannya.

Image via Pejabat Perdana Menteri

“Penangguhan pelaksanaan cukai itu bagi membolehkan kerajaan meneliti mekanisme berkesan untuk memastikan pelaksanaan cukai bagi penjagaan kesihatan mencapai objektifnya,” katanya.

Semasa pembentangan Belanjawan 2019 yang lalu, kerajaan telah mencadangkan untuk melaksanakan cukai eksais 40 sen seliter pada minuman manis yang mengandungi lima gram gula atau pemanis berasaskan gula bagi 100 mililiter (ml), termasuk buah-buahan dan jus sayuran dengan kandungan gula lebih 12 gram bagi 100ml mulai 1 April 2019.

Image via Gaya Hidup Republika

Walau bagaimanapun, pelaksanaan cukai itu telah ditangguhkan ke 1 Julai bagi memberi masa yang cukup kepada pihak industri untuk membuat persediaan.

Program sarapan percuma ini dilakukan bagi membolehkan murid-murid sekolah rendah untuk kekal sihat dan bertenaga sepanjang sesi persekolahan

Memetik kajian pakar pemakanan tiga pusat pengajian, Universiti Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow dan St George mendapati tabiat tidak mengambil sarapan pagi secara sihat dalam kalangan kanak-kanak boleh mengundang risiko menghidap penyakit diabetes apabila usia mereka meningkat dewasa.

Image via Google

Tahap insulin yang tinggi boleh mengakibatkan badan kanak-kanak untuk kurang bertindak-balas terhadap perkembangan hormon yang kebiasaannya akan mengawal jumlah gula dalam aliran darah. Risiko tersebut boleh berlaku disebabkan tahap insulin dalam badan kanak-kanak, sekali gus menjadi faktor utama penyakit tersebut.

Bukan itu sahaja, adalah didapati bahawa kanak-kanak yang tidak mengambil sarapan secara sihat akan lebih cenderung untuk memakan makanan yang mengundang kepada kegemukan pada waktu tengah hari atau malam.

Amalan sarapan secara sihat dalam kalangan kanak-kanak sebagai diet seimbang boleh mendapat banyak manfaat bagi mengelakkan golongan itu terdedah kepada kebanyakan penyakit.

What happened?

The police constable, who is in his 20s, was on duty for Ops Rentas Khas when his motorcycle ran low on fuel. He is said to have gone to the petrol station to fill petrol and stopped at one of the pumps.He claims that when he manoeuvred his motorcycle into one of the pump lanes, he did not realise there was a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) waiting in line, Ahmad said in a statement on Saturday, 15 August.The situation triggered an argument between the two and before the police constable could offer an explanation, the driver of the MPV is said to have punched him in the face several times.Following which, several of the MPV driver's friends along with the occupants of a nearby Mercedes Benz also joined in beating up the victim before they were dispersed by members of the public."The victim was hit by two men from the group before others in the group broke up the fight," Ahmad said.

Netizens Give Their Honest Feedback About Tsutaya And It's Spicy

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

As you may have heard, Tsutaya Bookstore has recently opened its doors at Pavilion Bukit Jalil

Dubbed as one of the world's most beautiful bookstores in the world, many Malaysians jumped at the opportunity to check out the bookstore out during its grand opening on 7 July.Ever since opening in Pavilion, many visitors have raved about the aesthetically pleasing décor and impressive book selection that the bookstore has.

Image via Focus Malaysia

Unfortunately, the bookstore may not be for everyone as shown in a recent TikTok video

A TikTok user by the name of Khalis J, informs his audiences to think twice before planning a trip to Tsutaya Bukit Jalil.He first highlights the long queues that one needs to wait through in order to get to the bookstore. He shows in his video that the line snakes all the way from the Pavilion mall entrance!Similarly, another TikToker going by the name of Fatima, mentioned that she had to line up for one hour before she could get in.

Image via @incognito__k (TikTok)

If you were planning to take an Insta-worthy picture of the famous mirrored Tsutaya bookcase, forget it

That bookcase only exists at the Tsutaya bookstore in Nagoya, Japan.

Image via @yuji.love_coke (Instagram)

Although, a silver lining to this is that Tsutaya Bukit Jalil has its own aesthetically pleasing photo opportunities in the bookstore, so all is not lost in this one.

Additionally, the book selection may not be as extensive as portrayed on social media

Khalis is of the opinion that Tsutaya still has some improvements to make on their book selections. He even mentions that the popular Japanese bookstore, Kinokuniya, has a better book range compared to its newly opened counterpart.

Image via Tiktok

However, Fatima may not agree with him.Speaking with SAYS, she mentioned that she was impressed with the books available at Tsutaya.  She said that she thought the bookstore was huge, not just in square feet but in its book selection as well. "They had every subgenre you could think of," she said. The adult section impressed her as well.

Image via @wanderbooks (TikTok)

But one thing they can agree on is that the prices at Tsutaya may cause some wallets to cringe

A water tumbler with intricate Japanese art was being priced at RM120. A black bag Khalis featured in his video was going for RM842.

Image via @incognito__k (TikTok)

Oh, and those cute durian-like bags? Yeah, they're priced at RM228 a pop!

Image edited.
Image via @incognito__k (TikTok)

Fatima was also shocked at the prices, especially when she picked up a bookmark that cost RM120! She also doesn't understand why a 25-sheet sticky notepad would be priced at RM24.90.

Image via @wanderbooks (TikTok)

As for the café, Fatima ordered a cheesecake slice, caramel latte, and a homemade lemonade. Her order set her back at around RM50.She thinks it's quite pricey but more or less expected those prices "for an in-house café in a bougie bookstore".

Image via Fatima/SAYS

Despite the prices, she praised the spacious and peaceful layout of the café. They even have seating facing the outdoors where you can enjoy a good book and admire the lovely scenery.

At the end of the day, Tsutaya may appeal to some but not to others

Khalis breaks down his video by saying that the bookstore was more about the experience than the books. If that's what you’re looking for, he says "why not?"Fatima, on the other hand, says that she will definitely come back for the books but will avoid the stationery section the next time she visits.

Malaysians first learnt about the opening of Tsutaya Books in January:

PTPTN Chairman: Borrowers Who Defer Loans To Pay For Their Cars Are “Selfish”

Yesterday, 4 November, the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan  hit out at borrowers who postpone their repayments for 'unreasonable' reasons

In a report by New Straits Times, Wan Saiful said that some borrowers applied for a postponement of their loan repayment because they had to pay for their car loan instalments instead.He called such reasons unreasonable and a reflection of a selfish culture in society, where errant PTPTN borrowers do not know their priorities.

			If they cannot pay because they are not working (yet) or parents are sick, we can consider that, but if it is to buy a car, that is not fair.
        PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan

"This concerns attitude. What is their priority. They have benefited from PTPTN, completed their studies, got jobs, and should settle the loan repayments so that others can also enjoy the benefit," he added.

Wan Saiful also said the government's move to implement a scheduled repayments system is an acknowledgement of PTPTN's problems in solving its huge debt

In a separate New Straits Times report on Friday, 2 November, he said the announcement would fulfil the organisation's plea for help."I would like to thank [Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng's] team for tirelessly discussing with us, as well as to have direct discussion with me several times, on how the 2019 Budget can speed up the improvement of PTPTN," said Wan Saiful.

Image via Free Malaysia Today

The system will ensure repayment of PTPTN loans through scheduled deductions of between 2% to 15% from the borrower's salary. The percentage will be determined based on the borrower's monthly income.Additionally, as part of PTPTN's reform agenda, it will not be introducing any discounts next year.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said he accepted criticisms from the rakyat over the government's broken promise to allow deferment of PTPTN loan repayments

"I accept the criticisms as we really want to implement it (the promise to allow deferment of PTPTN loan repayments), but it is hard to do it due to the current fiscal position," he told Bernama."What can we (government) do right now? If Jho Low had not taken away RM50 billion, maybe we can do it."

The PTPTN discounts, which were introduced in Budget 2017, will be ending on 31 December 2018

There are several incentives that are being offered to boost PTPTN loan repayment.

Bangkok's Songkran Festival Is Not Cancelled This Year But Will Be Much Smaller

Dear travellers, your Songkran might be a little dryer this year if you're heading to Bangkok for the annual water festival

Reuters reported that Songkran has been called off at one of the most popular tourist sites, as Thailand prepares for their king's coronation.

Image via The Culture Trip

Dubbed as the world's biggest water fight, Songkran takes place every year from 13 to 15 April all over Thailand

One of the most popular spots to celebrate the festival is on Khaosan Road, a backpacker district where shops sponsor water guns and water tanks for the public to use.A business group told Reuters on Wednesday, 3 April, that Khaosan's celebrations were called off in preparation for the upcoming coronation of King Maha Vajiralongkorn set between 4 and 6 May.

Image via The Culture Trip

"The authorities are preparing for the coronation and we are located right in the middle of areas involved so if we organise the usual Songkran festival it could be chaotic," said chairman of the Khaosan Road Business Association, Piyabutr Jiwaramonaikun.According to Reuters, officials explained that Khaosan Road will be getting revamped for the coronation, which will include repainting of roads and buildings, rebuilding pavements, and reorganising electrical lines.

Businesses on Khaosan Road usually sponsor water refills and coloured powders to tourists, but will not be doing so this year

However, shops will remain open and tourists can continue to celebrate in the area."Tourists and Thais can still conduct water fight in the area, but local businesses will not be organising anything official," Jiwaramonaikun added, according to Reuters."There will be fewer people this year for Songkran, but the coronation is a major event for the Thai people and we all must make sacrifices."


Kedah Exco Wants Everyone To Help Unmarried Women Find Partners

Kedah Exco Datuk Mohd Rawi Abd Hamid has urged all parties, including NGOs to assist unmarried women with finding a partner

Kedah Religious Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Rawi Abd Hamid

According to the Kedah Religious Committee chairman, women with strong financial status are usually too shy to seek out potential partners as they fear the idea of being branded as desperate for men

Malaysia was introduced with the 'Halal Speed Dating' service in 2015. What's interesting is that the female participants are chaperoned by their guardians who will be monitoring their chats and interactions with men during the dates.
Image via Malay Mail Online

According to a report by Free Malaysia Today, Mohd Rawi thinks that these group of unmarried women are usually academicians, widows or even young women that have gone for too long without a life partner. "I had the experience of working with an NGO where we provided a match-making service to encourage them to marry and in the first month alone we managed to register 25 unmarried women."From this total, 10 of them were professional women working in institutions of higher learning, either as lecturers or academicians," added Mohd Rawi at the State Assembly when answering a question on the government's efforts to tackle the rising divorce rates, today, 19 August.

Concerned, Mohd Rawi also urged an unnamed NGO that is fighting against polygamy, to forward their proposals on battling the issue to the government as soon as possible

"What are these NGOs doing to help these professional women who have been swindled by foreigners in love scams as these victims are actually looking for love and in need of a husband," he asked, as reported by Free Malaysia Today.

Meanwhile, responding to a question by PAS Merbau Pulas' Datuk Siti Aishah Ghazali on divorce rates in Kedah, Mohd Rawi said that there is a steep incline with 5,184 cases in 2015 compared to 4,803 in 2014

He added that khalwat offences too had increased from 387 cases in 2014 to 440 cases in 2015.Mohd Rawi also urged the Attorney-General’s Chambers to discuss with the Kedah Judicial Council on ways to control the growing number of illegitimate children which had been a usual occurrence in states which share the Thai border."I am sure there are thousands out there who are suffering due to the strict regulations," he said adding the law should be more flexible in legalizing marriages to help people living with the predicament.

Government Will Pay Up To RM2,100 Per Room To Quarantine Malaysians In Hotels For 14 Days

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said the government will cover RM150 per day to quarantine Malaysians returning from overseas in hotels for 14 days

In a press conference today, 7 April, Ismail said the government has listed 45 hotels designated as quarantine centres, where returning Malaysians can choose to undergo quarantine at.He said the RM150 coverage per day will be used to pay the cost of hotel accommodation and food. A 14-day quarantine would mean the government will be paying a total of RM2,100 for each room at these hotels."The cost of other services, such as laundry, will be borne by the individuals," said the Defence Minister.Putrajaya previously announced that beginning 3 April, all Malaysians returning from abroad and foreign visitors must undergo a 14-day quarantine, reported Malay Mail.

Ismail said the designated hotels have three-star ratings and above

According to him, there are several four- and five-star hotels in the 45 designated hotels, but those who wish to be quarantined at these hotels will have to foot the bill if the charges go over RM150.He said the request to include luxury hotels as quarantine centres came from foreign embassies, citing that their diplomats want better accommodation.Regardless of what rating the hotel has, everyone who is under quarantine will still have to follow the same rules."Even though they are at a hotel, the SOP (standard operating procedure) is the same as every other quarantine centre," Ismail stressed."They cannot leave their rooms, they cannot receive guests such as friends and relatives, none of that is allowed."

According to a Federal Gazette published on 4 April, there are 49 hotels that have been declared as quarantine centres

Japan Lauded For Its Leading Role In Pahang-Selangor Water Transfer Project

Recently, two Japanese companies provided state-of-the-art technologies for the construction of a raw water tunnel project from Pahang to Selangor

According to Bernama,  the Japanese companies were instrumental in the establishment of the 44.6km long tunnel, which is considered to be Southeast Asia's longest tunnel.To aid the project further, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provided soft loans worth 82 billion yen (about RM3 billion) payable over 40 years.On Tuesday, 21 January, the country's leading role in the project has was commended by Water, Land, and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Dr Xavier Jayakumar."I thank the Japanese government. Japanese technology helped us through JICA and its funding as well in order to do this with local construction companies," he said, as quoted by Bernama."Now, we are bringing water across and this is a good working relationship between Japan and Malaysia as far as the water industry is concerned."

The Pahang-Selangor raw water project was developed  to channel water directly to the Langat 2 water treatment plant in Hulu Langat

The proposed use of the tunnel was deemed necessary by the previous Federal Government in order to ease the burden of 6.7 million consumers in Selangor, Putrajaya, and Kuala Lumpur."The panel's proposals can be put in place to overcome the [water] shortage," then Minister of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment, and Climate Change Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili was quoted as saying by The Star in 2014.

Since then, latest reports have revealed that the current government has allocated RM4.2 billion for the construction of the Langat 2 plant

According to Bernama, the Langat 2 plant will be able to supply 1,130 million litres per day (MLD) to nearly two million people in the Klang Valley upon its full completion in 2023.The Stream B of Langat 2 that was recently completed is set to supply 65 MLD to almost 900,000 residents in Hulu Langat, Cheras, Bangi, Semenyih, and Pudu areas.

With this project made possible by the Japan's technologies, Jayakumar says that Malaysians can always learn from the Japanese

The Minister added that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad also continues to turn to Japan for new technologies, as well as to emulate their work ethics and business culture.To learn more about how Japan manages their underground water systems, which is in line with Malaysia's own vision to tap underground water, Jayakumar announced that Japan had also offered to teach 10 to 15 Malaysian officers their ways."So, we are going to send these officers to Japan for six months or a year," the minister told Bernama.

Meanwhile, JICA Chief Representative in Malaysia expressed how the project represents Japan's objective of establishing quality infrastructure projects to improve the lives of Malaysians in all sectors

"The immediate beneficiaries are the people, not only the households but the industries, companies, and factories as well as the agricultural producers," Fukawa Kensuke said, as quoted by Bernama. "It will give enormous benefits to the Malaysian people,"  the JICA chief representative added.

This Mum Had To Pay RM6 After Her Baby Broke A Bowl, But That’s Not What She’s Upset About

A visit to Oriental Cravings, one of the most popular restaurants at 1 Utama Shopping Centre in PJ, turned sour for a Malaysian mum when her 11-month-old baby broke a bowl and knocked over a utensil off their dining table

Image via Flora Koo Facebook

According to a Facebook post by the mum in question, she had just placed her son in a baby chair when he reached out for the empty bowls on the dining table. She managed to grab on to one of them, but another fell to the floor and broke.The post has been widely circulated among parenting groups on Facebook since it was posted on Wednesday, 25 May. The original post on her personal page has 300 shares, while her post on a public group for mums has been shared more than 800 times.

The baby's mother apologised to one of the shop's employees and was told that she would have to pay for the broken bowl. Though dumbfounded, she agreed and proceeded to look at the menu.

Image via Flora Koo Facebook

Here's where things kinda went downhill. While his mother was perusing the menu, he knocked a plastic spoon off the table.

Though it was just a plastic spoon, the baby's mum wrote that a waitress loudly ordered her co-worker to "check if it is broken".

The waitress' outburst proved to be the last straw for the baby's mum. However, before she could leave, she had to pay RM5.85 - including service charge and GST - for the bowl her son had broken.

Image via Flora Koo Facebook

As a simple post merely meant to share her personal experience went viral, other FB users began sharing their own stories of restaurants that have handled having small children in their establishment very well

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

It also turns out that the restaurant has had a reputation for being not being child-friendly for a while now

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

A quick check on the restaurant's unofficial review page also indicate similar sentiments on how the restaurant's staffers treat patrons with small children

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Speaking exclusively to SAYS, the baby's mum - who has dined in the restaurant several occasions before - stressed that she wasn't upset at having to pay for the broken bowl, but the staff's vocal treatment of her and her baby over a plastic spoon

"It made me feel so uncomfortable dining there with a baby because I intended to feed my baby there. God knows what they will say or charge me with if my baby accidentally spilled water or food on the floor," she said.

"I don't expect anything from these service business owners, only their understanding and simple manners to customers who want to give them business."

"Life Is Better Overseas" – S'porean Says He Earns 8 Times More Money As An Aussie Plumber

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

A Singaporean Institute of Technical Education (ITE) graduate recently took to Facebook to talk about how much better his life has been since he moved to Australia to work

According to his confession post uploaded on Facebook page, SGWhispers, the man who is currently in his 30s, shared that all his life, people have looked down on him as an ITE graduate.He said this preconception of his education led him to earn an income that was less than satisfactory for him. "When I was working as an ITE graduate, I was only paid SGD1,600 (RM5,200) and was told I 'deserve' that pay as I am from ITE," wrote the anonymous user.

Having had enough of his situation, the man said that he packed his bags and migrated to Australia to find better-paying work

Since leaving Singapore, he revealed that he currently works as a "simple" plumber and earns a yearly salary of between SGD80,000 (RM260,100) and SGD100,000 (RM325,115). The Singaporean added that blue-collar workers in Singapore should look for more lucrative job opportunities in other countries, as Singapore only pays peanuts for occupations like his."People like us (blue-collar workers), in nursing, construction, plumbing, all should leave Singapore. Other places are better. At the end of the day, the poor plumber's pay will only increase from SGD1,600 (RM5,200) to SGD1,800 (RM5,800), maximum."He added that Singapore would never raise its blue-collar workers' salaries as the country could always afford cheaper labour from Malaysia.

Some netizens congratulated the plumber for being able to find a job that paid him well

Image via Facebook

However, some others also disagreed with the plumber, saying that the grass is always greener on the other side and each country always has its pros and cons

"Whenever people ask me if I would convert to [become an] Australian, my answer is and will always be no. This is home, truly," said a Singaporean who has become an Australian permanent resident (PR) in a separate confession post.Before migrating, he said that he would constantly gripe about his home country and find faults in it. However, it wasn't until he moved to Australia did he realise how lucky he was to be from Singapore.Some also explained that the cost of living in Australia may be more expensive than Singapore and the plumber will end up earning less in the process.

Health DG Says COVID-19 Delta Variant Takes Only 15 Seconds To Infect The Next Person

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

The Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus is highly contagious and is able to infect the next person in as quick as 15 seconds

Health director-general (DG) Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this has caused the drastic increase in COVID-19 cases in the country since 26 June."The infectivity rate, R-naught (R0), for the regular COVID-19 virus is between 2.5 and 3. But the R0 for the Delta variant, and the other variants we've identified, is much higher, which is between 5 and 8," he said in a joint press conference with Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba on Thursday, 15 July."This means for every 100 people infected, within a short period of incubation, it could infect up to 500 to 800 others."

Image via Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (Facebook)

He added that the virus has been evolving rapidly as well

"In the past, we said positive cases only happen if someone comes in close contact with an infected person for 15 minutes or are less than 1m apart," he said."However, with the new variant, infections can happen within 15 seconds only, and also because it is airborne," he stressed.The Health DG reiterated the importance of public health practices to curb the spread within the community, such as wearing of face masks, physical distancing, avoiding crowded and confined places, and frequent hand washing.He added that vaccination is the other way to control the infections and pointed to Labuan as an example, where the infectivity rate was high and the Delta variant was first discovered in Malaysia.With public health measures in place and the ramping up of vaccinations — 87% of people in the state are currently vaccinated with their first dose — he said the situation was controlled within three weeks.

Image via Miera Zulyana/Malay Mail

Dr Noor Hisham's announcement coincides with Australia's recent finding of how easily the Delta variant spreads, which triggered Sydney's lockdown on 26 June

According to ABC News, CCTV footage showed the transfer of the virus after a limousine driver, unknowingly infected with the Delta variant, briefly walked past another man at an indoor mall near Sydney's Bondi Beach.The brief interaction was enough for the second man to contract COVID-19. New South Wales premier Gladys Berijiklian said it took just five to 10 seconds and called the encounter "scarily fleeting"."Literally people not even physically touching each other but fleetingly coming into the same airspace has seen the virus transfer from one person to another," the premier said.In a report, researchers at the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention have also proposed that the Delta variant has a higher viral replication rate, leading to viral loads about 1,000 times higher than the earliest strains of SARS-CoV-2.

The employee made a complaint to SBEA and alerted Spirit Aerosystems, Zanial's employer, saying that Zanial and his guests were using the property to hold an ISIS gathering.In response, Spirit Aerosystems reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), alleging that a "group dressed in Muslim garb" with "an American flag desecrated with ISIS symbols" held a meeting on SBEA's property. However, in the following month FBI contacted Zanial to let him know that they dropped the investigation shortly after receiving the complaint as they determined that the Malaysian flag had nothing to do with ISIS.

According to the court filing, Zanial found out in January 2018 that he has been barred from renting a space at the recreational park despite paying for SBEA's membership at a monthly rate of USD14 (RM55)

As a result of his membership rights being restricted, he has filed a discrimination lawsuit to set the record straight.The lawsuit states, "Zanial is concerned that the investigation could affect his lawful permanent residence status. He also feels distress and humiliation based on this experience of being singled-out because of his ethnicity, race, and religion."Zanial is seeking to have his membership restored, damages from SBE, as well as payment of his attorneys' fees.Zanial is currently a permanent resident of the United States and has been living in Wichita since 2011. He earned a master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from Wichita State University and is a senior engineer at Spirit Aerosystems.

[VIDEO] KL Man Escapes Unhurt After A Fan Falls From The Ceiling And Nearly Crushes Him

A man from Kuala Lumpur recently went viral after he survived what could have been a very terrible accident.
While at work, a spinning fan fell from the ceiling and almost crushed him.

On 20 February, a Twitter user known as Tania shared a video of the incident which took place in a store at Ampang Hilir.She wrote, "Kun faya kun (if God intends it to happen, then it will). God is great! Thankfully, my brother's friend leaned forward to pick up a sticker. Oh God."

Image via Twitter @nrtniax

Her post has since garnered 313,200 views and 26,200 retweets.

In the 45-second clip, the man can be seen bending over to pick up an item under the counter when the fan suddenly dropped from the ceiling and landed on his desk

Image via Twitter @nrtniax

Tania told SAYS that the man in the video is 28-year-old Azim and according to her, the incident happened on Saturday, 15 February.

The video shows Azim completely keeping his cool after nearly being hit by the fan. He is seen looking around and then casually talking on his phone.

Tania also added that he escaped completely unharmed.

A few netizens shared how they've always had a fear of being crushed by a ceiling fan

A person said, "This is what I've always imagined of as a child. It can be very traumatising."

Image via Twitter @syahenzlys

"This is what I'm most scared of, oh God. Sometimes I feel like I don't even want to use a ceiling fan. Thankfully, God is still watching over me," shared another user.

One netizen wrote, "I've always envisioned the fan falling on me while I'm sleeping. Oh God, it's so scary."

"I Wanted To Run Away" — Patient Describes The 'Horror' Of Staying At HKL COVID-19 Ward

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

A mother and her newborn baby had to endure three days of 'horror' when they were quarantined in an old maternity ward at Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) after testing positive for COVID-19

Image via @alianordin (Instagram)

In an open letter to the Ministry of Health (MOH), its minister Khairy Jamaluddin, and Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, she described the deplorable condition of the facilities provided to mothers being treated for the virus and called for action to be taken for patients who are still warded in the run-down ward."I was very sad and wanted to run away when I saw the state of the quarantine area for mothers and babies," Alia Nordin wrote in an Instagram post on 31 March, which has since been liked almost 28,000 times as of writing."Eight hours of horror, I was scared to go to the toilet. At dawn, I finally gathered my courage to go to the toilet."

Image via @alianordin (Instagram)

Image via @alianordin (Instagram)

According to Alia, even though they were in a maternity ward, there were not even any clean basic facilities for breastfeeding and pumping mothers

Image via @alianordin (Instagram)

The sink was unsanitary to wash feeding and pumping equipment, let alone to bathe a baby in.The refrigerator provided for storing breast milk looked like it had not been cleaned for some time.There was no designated breastfeeding or pumping space either, which left Alia and other patients no choice but to do so in front of one another.When asked about whether there were other wards or rooms available at the time, Alia told this SAYS writer that there were patients who were transferred from the newer parts of the hospital to the old maternity ward, even though there were vacant beds and rooms in the new ward.She also told SAYS that she even got into an argument with a doctor there when she demanded to be discharged because she wanted to go home so much. Alia and her less than two-month-old baby were admitted on 31 March and were discharged on 1 April.

Image via @alianordin (Instagram)

The mother-of-three, however, said her grievances are not towards the doctors and nurses who have been kind and helpful, but rather towards those in power that don't care about the people

"It feels like us, the people, are not valued by those who are empowered to protect our rights," she goes on to write."Is this the kind of service that is given to mothers who are pregnant, giving birth, and breastfeeding the future generation? "I'm not asking for first class service, I don't mind being quarantined in a government hospital, but the ministry should at least check that the facilities provided are in good condition and clean for us (mother and child) to stay in."Then, addressing Khairy himself, she said, "I hope you go down there and see for yourself. Would you ask your wife, siblings, or family members to be quarantined in such a condition?"

Image via @alianordin (Instagram)

Not only were the patients deprived of clean basic necessities, but it was also unsafe for mothers and their babies

Patients who had previously been warded there have reached out to Alia and shared their own awful experiences.Alia shared with SAYS screenshots of a conversation with one mother, who was admitted with her baby on 8 March. Calling it 'a nightmare', the woman said the toilets were reportedly dirty and there was a terrible leak caused by a clogged pipe.The flooded floors were not cleaned for at least a day, making the path from the patients' beds to the toilets a dangerous one. Several mothers reportedly have slipped and almost fell because of the neglect.The cleaners only came to wipe the floors after the patients complained to a doctor.

The MOH has since said it will investigate the conditions of HKL's old maternity ward

Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali said the hospital director has been asked to take drastic action."We will investigate this case urgently and take fast action," he told Sinar Daily on 2 April.Dr Noor Azmi said nobody should be deprived of the best facilities the Malaysian government and MOH could offer.

Last month, concerns were raised after footage of rats scurrying around a COVID-19 ward for women and children in a hospital in Seremban went viral:

Health authorities are now probing the incident and said immediate measures will be taken to address it.

[VIDEO] Family Cat Hailed As 'Hero' For Saving A Baby From Tumbling Down Stone Stairs

We've seen dogs save humans, but it's not very common to see cats do the same for their fellow owners

This recent incident may change your outlook on the feline species. At around 5am on 31 October, Facebook user DLore Álvarez posted CCTV footage of a baby escaping its cot and crawling across a living room towards a flight of stairs.

Image via DLore Álvarez/Facebook

According to Álvarez, the baby could have tumbled down the stone staircase, causing serious injuries – had it not been for a certain furry hero

Image via DLore Álvarez/Facebook

Image via DLore Álvarez/Facebook

While watching the child head towards the staircase, a quick-thinking family cat immediately leapt off a nearby sofa and used its paws to block the baby from crawling further

Image via DLore Álvarez/Facebook

The video captured the cat pushing the baby away making the child retreat from the area and crawl elsewhere.

Image via DLore Álvarez/Facebook

The cat's owners have since hailed their pet for being a hero, after watching the footage to find out how their child escaped

Álvarez posted images and a video of the incident on a pet adoption Facebook page, which has since received over 24,000 shares."I present to you the hero of the week," she wrote.

Image via DLore Álvarez/Facebook

It is unclear if the cat just wanted to play with the baby or genuinely rescue it, but we're sure the family is extremely grateful for its beloved furry member.

This 'Most Stupid' Murderer's Story Will Make You Double Facepalm Yourself

A murderer described by his lawyer as “the most stupid I have seen in 40 years” has been sentenced to death by the criminal court in Abu Dhabi

The killer bludgeoned to death the neighbour’s maid, who he had been having a relationship with, after she told him she was pregnant and threatened to report him for rape.

        thenational.ae

Image via in.com

The killer, who worked as a cook for an Emirati government official, lived in a villa near the maid.

        indiatimes.com

The murderer was described so by his lawyers because he believed the maid's claims – despite the fact they had never had sex

The man lived in a villa near the maid’s place of work in Abu Dhabi. They met as they were depositing rubbish outside in dustbins.

A few days later, as the cook was working on the roof, the maid saw him and called him over to her employer’s house, who was away on holiday at the time.

        jagran.com

He went and they had a “romantic time on the roof which did not exceed hugging”, the defence lawyer said.

A week later he visited her again and she told him he had made her pregnant while threatening that she would accuse him of rape.

        gulf-times.com

The cook, who was described by his lawyer as the “most stupid murderer” he has seen in 40 years, believed her and killed her

He spotted a large stone outside the bathroom door and hit her over the head with it three times, killing her.

        thenational.ae

He then placed her body in a bathtub filled with water, and set the villa alight to hide the evidence. The villa was reduced to ashes, but the bathtub survived because it was filled with water.

Baru Nak Bakar Belacan, Wanita Disiasat Polis Sebab Jiran Perancis Adu Bau Macam Mayat

Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik negeri sendiri

Bagi yang tidak tahu maksud peribahasa itu, ianya beerti, walau bagaimana baik pun keadaan di tempat atau negara lain, tempat atau negara kita tetap lebih baik dan selesa.Peribahasa ini mungkin lebih difahami dan dirasai oleh orang kita yang telah menetap di negara lain untuk tempoh yang lama.

Image via HDC Global

Ramai orang tempatan kita yang berhijrah ke negara orang, sama ada untuk melanjutkan pelajaran, ataupun untuk mencari rezeki. Tidak kiralah yang mana satu, buat mereka yang tinggal di luar negara itu, terutamanya yang sudah lama tinggalkan negara, pasti akan tiba saat-saat yang mana tiba-tiba dia rasa rindukan tanah air.

Rindukan suasana di sini. Rindukan ahli keluarga dan sahabat handai di sini. Dan yang paling utama sekali, rindukan makanan di sini. Ye lah, makanan Malaysia tak sama dengan negara luar. Makanan Malaysia memang yang terbaik!

Image via Food You Should Try

Bila dapat sahaja peluang untuk makan makanan Malaysia, memang itu antara perasaan yang paling seronok dan puas yang boleh dirasai seseorang yang telah lama tinggalkan negara.

Tapi kesian pula dengan kisah seorang wanita ini yang baru sahaja nak lepaskan gian untuk makanan Malaysia, tengok-tengok kena 'tahan' dengan polis di Perancis

Baru-baru viral di laman Twitter apabila seorang lelaki berkongsikan pengalaman yang dialami oleh kawan kepada isterinya yang menetap di negara Perancis.

Image via Google

Menurut pengguna @thezulfo, wanita itu yang berasa sangat gembira mendapat belacan, terus memilih untuk membakar belacan tersebut. Ikut tips orang dulu-dulu, kalau nak sedap, kena bakar belacan itu dulu, baru sambal belacan jadi lebih 'umph'!Tapi belum sempat merasa belacan, wanita itu didatangi lalu disoal siasat oleh polis di negara itu gara-gara menerima laporan dari jiran bahawa terdapat bau mayat dirumahnya.

Image via Twitter @thezulfo

Siapa sangka tweet yang cukup simple itu terus menular dan rata-rata netizen tidak berpuas hati dan terkesan dengannya. Iyalah, siapa tak rasa pelik bila bau makanan kita disamakan dengan bau mayat.Walau bagaimanapun, @thezulfo telah memberi penjelasan tentang apa sebenarnya yang berlaku kepada kawan kepada isterinya itu.

Image via Twitter @thezulfo

Susulan tularnya tweet tersebut, rupa-rupanya ramai lagi pernah kena pengalaman yang sama yang membabitkan belacan

Image via Twitter @thezulfo

Image via Twitter @thezulfo

Bukan belacan sahaja, tapi ikan masin pun jadi mangsa!

Kalau buah durian dengan petai tu, tak terkejutlah kalau termasuk juga dalam list makanan yang tak digemari orang luar

Busuk, tak busuk. Makanan itu semua sedap, okay!

Tapi nak buat macam mana. Kita juga haruslah faham bahawa orang-orang di luar sana tidak berapa familiar dengan makanan-makanan kita. Sama juga dengan kita yang kadang-kala tidak gemarkan juga makanan mereka. Almaklumlah, lidah semua lain-lain.

Anwar Just Met With The Agong And Handed An SD Supporting Tun M As Prime Minister

Amidst the current political crisis, Anwar Ibrahim, who is the president of PKR, has now said that he is taking a step back and is naming Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Pakatan Harapan's candidate for Prime Minister

The PKR president was at Istana Negara to have an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA). Anwar, accompanied by Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil, spent about 20 minutes at the Palace.According to The Star, Anwar has handed in a statutory declaration (SD) at the Palace, stating Pakatan Harapan has named Dr Mahathir as their candidate for Prime Minister."I will be taking a step back and have named Tun Mahathir as our candidate for Prime Minister so that we can avoid the country being further dragged into this power struggle and into an old system which has been rejected by the people," he was quoted as saying by the English daily.

Image via Syazwan Kamal/Malaysiakini

Anwar said that while he is "touched" by the support that he received, he is, once again, prioritising "the nation above personal agenda"

According to the PKR president, he met with Dr Mahathir on Friday.New Straits Times reported that it was the first meeting between the two leaders since the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government and Dr Mahathir's resignation as the seventh Prime Minister on Monday.Anwar, however, did not reveal what was discussed at the meeting yesterday.Meanwhile, prior to leaving for the Palace today, Anwar along with his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail was at Eastin Hotel in Petaling Jaya for his meeting with Dr Mahathir.

			I hope my friends will not be anxious or disappointed but think of the country and how we can develop it.

The country's current political crisis was caused by #LangkahSheraton. Since then, there were several names floating for the post of the Prime Minister, one of which was of Anwar himself.
However, earlier today, Dr Mahathir said he has the majority:

                Tun M Says He Now Has The Majority To Be The 8th Prime Minister

Dr Mahathir said this after meeting with Pakatan Harapan presidential council Saturday morning.

If Your Electricity Bill Is Higher Than Usual, It's Not TNB's Fault

In the last week, many consumers in Malaysia took to social media to express their shock and anger over the sudden and sharp hike in their electricity bills

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Many consumers have been posting their complaint on Tenaga Nasional Berhad's (TNB) Facebook page, TNB Careline, in the last week or so.  It was noted that most of these complaints were about how the latest bills issued by TNB had doubled or tripled the usual amount despite the similar usage habits.TNB holds a monopoly on power transmission business, being the only company in Malaysia which supplies electricity to households.

Responding to the complains, Tenaga Nasianal Berhad (TNB), issued an official statement on their Facebook page, yesterday, 21 April, explaining the possible reasons behind the sudden hike in household electricity bills

The heatwave in Malaysia has influenced the use of appliances such as air conditioning units.
Image via KE Ooi/Malay Mail Online

TNB said that consumers are more likely to lower the temperature and increase the fan speed of the air-conditioner in this period of time due to the scorching hot and dry weather. It also added that consumers are may be using their air-conditioner unit for prolonged hours.  All of these usage habits will ultimately result in higher bills. TNB also explained that the consumption of electricity may increase if air-conditioners are not maintained properly.

TNB also stated that the country’s electricity consumption reached an all-time high demand last month, an effect of the El-Nino phenomenon

The highest-ever demand for electricity in Peninsular Malaysia was recorded at 17,788 megawatts (MW) on 20 April by Tenaga Nasional Berhad(TNB). In a statement yesterday, 21 April, TNB said the peak reading of 17,788 megawatts recorded on Wednesday was a 37.82 percent increase, compared to demand on Jan 1(12,906 MW) due to the El-Nino phenomenon. “The heat during the day has a prolonged effect that lasts up to the early morning of the following day, this has influenced the use of appliances such as air conditioning units which are relatively used more compared to other appliances,” it added.

        nst.com.my

Meanwhile, the Malaysian Consumers Movement (MCM) has urged TNB to offer a one-off rebate to ease consumers' burden, particularly those from the lower and middle income groups

Image via Reuters

"While El Nino is a natural phenomenon, it has taken a toll on household finances of consumers in the form of high electricity bill," Malaysian Consumers Movement (MCM) president Darshan Singh Dhillon said in an open letter on Malaysiakini."The unbearable heat has demanded consumers to switch on their air-conditioning units and other air cooling equipment for longer periods throughout the day to ensure comfort.""This is probably time for TNB to discharge its social responsibly to help a segment of the rakyat who may desperately require help while an opportunity for the government to offer acceptability on taxes collected via the Goods and Services Tax (GST)," he added.

Muslim Consumers Association Malaysia (PPIM) also urged TNB to consider its social responsibility by offering a 20 percent discount to all of its consumers

Image via Sinar Harian

PPIM Chief Activist, Datuk Nadzim Johan said, the discount will not burden TNB financially as the electricity bill has been rising since February and will continue to rise until June.“Because of the heat from the hot weather, consumers have no choice but to use electric fans and air conditioners for comfort.""So what is wrong if TNB and the government consider this proposal," he said to Malaysia Gazette.

#PRU15: "Nilai Prestasi Wakil Rakyat, Pilih Pemimpin Yang Cekap & Berkredibiliti" - Johari

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

Pengundi dinasihatkan agar bijak menilai dan memilih wakil rakyat yang bakal berkhidmat untuk mereka ketika keluar mengundi pada Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-15 (PRU15), 19 November depan

Bekas Menteri Kewangan II, Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, berkata ini kerana Malaysia memerlukan pemimpin yang cekap dan berkredibiliti untuk mentadbir negara.Beliau memberi contoh, jika situasi ekonomi yang tidak stabil ketika ini berterusan, negara perlu terus membuat pinjaman dan ia akan menjejaskan kehidupan generasi akan datang.“Ekonomi negara tidak stabil, dalam empat tahun kebelakangan ini, kita berdepan pelbagai cabaran ekonomi. Hutang meningkat, hasil tidak berkembang, nilai mata wang menyusut dan sumber-sumber kewangan kerajaan untuk membantu rakyat adalah terhad.“Jika ekonomi kita kekal seperti sekarang, sebarang bantuan lanjut yang perlu diberikan kepada rakyat pada masa depan, negara perlu meminjam dan ini akan memberi kesan kepada kehidupan generasi akan datang,” katanya.

Johari berucap pada majlis penyerahan sumbangan Deepavali kepada penduduk Kampung Pandan dan Flat Taman Maluri, hujung minggu lalu.

Johari mengingatkan pengundi supaya menilai semula prestasi perkhidmatan wakil rakyat mereka

“Walaupun kalah pada PRU14, saya terus berkhidmat kepada penduduk. Jadi pada PRU15 akan datang, pengundi perlu menilai prestasi Ahli Parlimen mereka,” katanya yang juga merupakan Ketua UMNO Bahagian Titiwangsa.Beliau turut menasihatkan penduduk dari golongan B40 supaya memberi perhatian kepada akademik anak-anak kerana hanya pendidikan satu-satunya cara untuk membawa keluarga keluar daripada belenggu kemiskinan.Johari disebut bakal dicalonkan semula oleh Barisan Nasional (BN) di Parlimen Titiwangsa pada PRU15 nanti.Parti Amanah Negara (AMANAH) sebelum ini menamakan Pengarah Komunikasinya, Khalid Samad, penyandang kerusi Parlimen Shah Alam yang juga bekas Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan sebagai calon di Titiwangsa.Seorang lagi calon dikatakan dari Perikatan Nasional (PN), iaitu Ketua Angkatan Anak Muda BERSATU (ARMADA), Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal bagi menggantikan Ketua Srikandi BERSATU, Datuk Seri Rina Harun yang menyandang kerusi berkenaan.

Majlis penyerahan sumbangan Deepavali kepada penduduk Kampung Pandan dan Flat Taman Maluri turut dihadiri pemimpin-pemimpin MIC dan HINDRAF Bahagian Titiwangsa.

Or Arbel, the app's creator, confirmed to Mashable that "a few guys tried to hack" the app overnight and "did succeed to some extent." Yo is now working to resolve the issue.

The hackers — roommates at Georgia Tech — say they're able to reveal the phone number of any Yo user as well as send spoof messages. They told TechCrunch:

The student emailed TechCrunch detailing what he alleges is the results of the hack: "We can get any Yo user's phone number (I actually texted the founder, and he called me back). We can spoof Yo's from any users, and we can spam any user with as many Yo. We could also send any Yo user a push notification with any text we want (though we decided not to do that)."

Founder Or Arbel said he could not reveal which hacks were still live

He said the company has brought in a specialist security team to deal with the issues and hoped the security problems would be fixed “in the next few hours.”

But if you, like some 450,000 other people, downloaded Yo this week to see what all the fuss was about, you might be itching to hit the delete button right now

Unfortunately deleting the app won't remove your personal information from their databases. There's also no way to do that within the app. We asked Yo about this, and Arbel said that they will delete users who ask for it. All you have to do is email [email protected], ask to be removed and that's it. That being said, the company is taking the security flaws seriously and has moved within hours to patch the issues. So follow your heart.
