[NEW UPDATE] Education Minister Called Ridiculous & Defensive After This Statement

"Idris must remember that it is the government's responsibility to plan and implement as well as to 'sell' its polices. It must be able to 'sell' by way of persuasion and debate," she added.

Kok, the Seputeh MP, had a sharper retort for the minister. "Will Idris Jusoh tell Mahathir to send his grandchildren overseas to study?" she asked.

Parents Action Group for Education (PAGE) says Idris Jusoh's statement was very defensive

Second Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh came under fire for telling parents they had an option of sending their children abroad if they are unhappy with the local education system.

        msn.com

"It was a very defensive statement (by the minister).  A lot of us save up, do away with a lot of things to give the best to our children," said Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim, chairman of the Parents Action Group for Education (PAGE).

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Those who can afford to send their children overseas do so because they want to give them a better education. Majority of the parents, however, cannot afford to do that," Noor Azimah told The Malaysian Insider.

"As a minister, he shouldn't be saying that. It is adding fuel to the fire. There are a thousand ways to address the question," said NUTP president Hashim Adnan.

The education movement objects to the plan to increase the teaching hours of Bahasa Malaysia for years 4, 5 and 6 to 270 minutes a week from 180 minutes.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

They claimed that the 60-minute increase for Bahasa Melayu (BM) lessons to 240 minutes per week under the blueprint was a step towards the government's ultimate aim of a monolingual education policy.

        thesundaily.my

The National Union of Heads of Schools and Jiao Zong (United Chinese School Teachers Association), which along with Hua Zong (Federation of Chinese Associations of Malaysia) and MCA wanted the BM hours to be capped at 210 minutes a week, also said they would continue their fight against the longer BM hours.

        thesundaily.my

"What we are actually trying to make the government understand is that multi-stream schools are a product of the multi-culturalism and racial diversity in Malaysia,” said Vice-president Chow Siew Hon.

        themalaysianinsider.com

DAP vice-chairman Teresa Kok said the move to raise the BM lesson hours from 180 to 240 minutes has obviously ignored the wishes of the Chinese community and will be met with strong objections.

Idris was commenting on Dong Zong’s proposal to hold a peaceful assembly if the plan was seen as adversely affecting the position of the Chinese language in national education.

        abnxcess.com

Dong Zong opposes the blueprint, seeing it as a step to realise the government's ultimate objective of implementing the monolingual education policy. "One option is to sue the government," he said, adding that the other was to protest, including holding a mammoth peaceful rally.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Dong Zong (United Chinese School Committees Association), which is conducting a signature campaign against the National Education Blueprint (NEB), may call for a boycott of classes when the time is ripe. For now, it will carry on with its anti-NEB signature campaign and roadshow.

Education Minister admits that the standard of English taught by English teachers here is at an alarming level

Meanwhile, Idris Jusoh admitted that the standard of English used by English teachers is still at a worrying level as only one third of them passed the Cambridge Placement Test last year.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Recently, it was revealed that about 70% out of the 60,000 English Language teachers, who sat for the English Language Cambridge Placement Test, performed poorly.

        thestar.com.my

About two-thirds of English Language teachers here have been classified as “incapable” or “unfit” to teach the subject in schools. “The ministry will also consider sending them overseas for exchange programmes to take up Teaching of English as a Second Language courses”.

Hidup Menderita Kerana Obesiti, Ini Cara Bagaimana Wanita Ini Berjaya Buang 80kg

Berbadan gempal dan gemuk pastinya bukan impian setiap individu. Apatah lagi keadaan tersebut juga boleh membawa risiko masalah kesihatan terhadap tubuh badan.

Image via liezazainal.blogspot.my

Bukan itu sahaja, apabila seseorang mengalami masalah berat badan, kutukan dan persepsi negatif masyarakat terhadap diri mereka pastinya membuatkan mereka berasa sedih, merendah diri sekaligus menjadikan mereka tidak yakin akan diri mereka sendiri.

Itulah yang dialami oleh wanita yang bernama Farhiyah Fadzly ini. Berat beliau pernah mencecah 153 kilogram suatu ketika dulu tetapi berkat kesungguhannya, akhirnya beliau berjaya menurunkan berat badannya sebanyak 80 kilogram. Bagaimana caranya? Mari ikuti kisah beliau.

Image via Farhiyah Fadzly/Facebook

“Semakin naik badan si farah tu, Kamu tak nasihatkan ke Ani?” Ibu hanya mampu tersenyum bila orang sekililing mempersoalkan dirinya dan seolah-olah tak pandai menjaga saya dan tak prihatin kepada keadaan fizikal saya.Saya tahu jauh disudut hati ibu, luluh hatinya apabila dia dituduh sebegitu.Saya pula hanya tertunduk dan hati berasa pedih kerana saya tahu ibu saya tak pernah berhenti nasihatkan saya. Tetapi saya buat tak tahu sahaja. Kasihan ibu.Maafkan saya ibu, kerana degil tak mau berubah dan ibu disalahkan. Satu hari saya nekad, saya tak mahu lagi ibu disalahkan. Saya nekad untuk berubah.

        facebook.com

Menurutnya, inilah keperitan yang orang luar mungkin tak pernah tahu apabila mempunyai berat sebegini

Diam tak diam, berat saya mencecah 153.3kg. Tinggi tak sampai 150cm, fizikal saya sangat membataskan aktiviti-aktiviti harian saya sama ada di rumah, pejabat dan di tempat awam.Apabila pergi ke pusat membeli belah, saya tak boleh berjalan jauh disebabkan berat badan yang amat sangat terutamanya pada kaki. Sekiranya jalan lebih daripada biasa, saya akan mengah dan semput.Jadi, saya terpaksa mencari tempat letak kenderaan yang paling hampir dengan pintu masuk dan sanggup menunggu dan berpusing banyak kali bagi mendapatkan lokasi yang dekat. Selain itu, kaki saya juga mengalami bengkak di sebabkan ‘water retention’ yang mana saya rasa tak selasa sepanjang hari walaupun dalam keadaan duduk.

1. Umur baru 20-an tetapi sudah solat duduk

Perkara yang saya paling ralat ketika masalah berat badan ini adalah saya tak dapat solat seperti orang biasa.Pada umur 20-an saya terpaksa sambahyang di atas kerusi kerana saya tak dapat menampung berat badan saya ketika tunduk dan duduk di bawah. Cuba juga untuk duduk, tetapi payah dan perit hanya tuhan yang tahu.

2. Merasa rendah diri

Saya juga turut mengalami masalah ‘inferiority complex’. Lebih-lebih lagi saya seorang perempuan yang mana saya merasa sangat rendah diri untuk berada di khalayak ramai terutama ketika berada di tempat awam.Ini kerana saya merasa semua orang memerhati, mengata dan mentertawa saya. Terngiang di kepala seperti ada orang mengata “eee.. gemuknya…!”Atas sebab itu saya lebih selasa berada di rumah atau bersama teman rapat sahaja.Namun, jauh di sudut hati saya, saya merasa kasihan kepada teman-teman rapat saya yang terpaksa membataskan had mereka dalam melakukan aktiviti hanya kerana mahu saya selasa dan menjaga hati saya.

        facebook.com

3. Tak mahu hati ibu terguris

Saya nekad, saya kuatkan hati dan tak mau hati ibu terguris lagi. Dengan bantuan kakak dan rakan beliau, saya daftarkan diri menyertai program Jom Kurus 1 Malaysia musim ke Empat.Misi kurus badan saya bermula pada Januari 2015 di mana saya telah menyertai kawasan Ampang di bawah Team Leader Agam.Pada mulanya, saya tak meletakkan harapan yang tinggi untuk kurus. Cuma lebih kepada mau dapatkan ilmu-ilmu baru dalam fitness dan cara diet yang betul.Dengan semangat daripada rakan-rakan dan juga keluarga, pada minggu pertama, saya telah berjaya hilangkan berat badan sebanyak 6.6kg!

        facebook.com

4. 16 kilogram untuk 6 minggu

Semangat saya terus meningkat. Siapa sangka saya dapat turunkan 6.6kg untuk minggu pertama. Namun coach ada ingatkan, jumlah yang banyak ini adalah air kerana saya gemuk air.Betul apa yang diingatkan oleh coach, minggu kedua dan ketiga berat saya tak turun. Namun saya tetap fokus dan cuba cari jalan dan mula disiplin menjaga makan.Alhamdulillah untuk usaha yang berterusan sepanjang program, saya berjaya turunkan berat badan sebanyak 16 kg dalam tempoh 6 minggu.

        facebook.com

5. Ibu mula tersenyum

Disebabkan hilangnya KG sebanyak itu, saya mula tanamkan azam untuk teruskan misi saya walaupun ianya mengambil jangka masa yang lama.Bagi saya yang penting adalah istiqomah dan ‘enjoy’ dengan setiap aktiviti yang saya lakukan.Saya mula nampak pelbagai perubahan kecil yang berlaku pada diri saya walaupun orang luar tak perasan perubahan itu.Contohnya sebelum ini saya tak dapat buat senaman seperti org lain, tetapi setelah beberapa lama mengikuti latihan yang disediakan saya mampu ikut aktiviti-aktiviti tersebut seperti orang biasa.Paling penting, Ibu saya mula tersenyum melihat saya semakin hari semakin kecil.

        facebook.com

6. Hilang 80 kilogram, perjalanan yang bukan mudah

Selepas tamat program JK1M musim ke empat, saya mencari program lain sementara menunggu JK1M yang seterusnya. Selama setahun saya berlatih di bawah coach Zack Zakwan dan coach Bo termasuk JK1M musim ke lima dan ke enam.Banyak ilmu yang telah diajar dan bersama mereka juga saya telah berjaya kurangkan berat badan yang banyak.Sepanjang perjalanan ini memang ada cabaran yang saya rasa mau untuk give-up antaranya ketika berat badan saya turun semakin lambat.Sebelum ini, dalam tempoh sebulan, saya boleh turun lebih daripada 6 kg. Sekarang paling banyak pun adalah sekitar 3kg sahaja.

        facebook.com

7. Semangat kadangkala jatuh

Apabila keadaan ini terjadi, semangat saya jatuh. Namun atas sokongan daripada sahabat-sahabat dan keluarga, Semangat saya bangkit semula.Alhamdulillah sehingga Julai 2016 saya berjaya menurunkan berat badan saya sebanyak 80kg. Perjalanan yang bukan mudah tapi saya tahu ia amat berbaloi.Syukur saya panjatkan kepada Tuhan yang memberi rezeki ini dan sokongan padu dari ahli keluarga serta sahabat-sahabat yang tak pernah berputus asa.Perjuangan perlu diteruskan kerana sasaran saya adalah mau mencapai capai berat ideal. Insyallah

Bagi Farhiyah, ini adalah 10 tips utama untuk seseorang itu mengurangkan berat badan dengan jayanya tanpa memudaratkan tubuh badan:

    1. Tetapkan sasaran jangka masa pendek dan jangka masa panjang.2. Istiqamah dengan apa yang kita lakukan. Biar lambat asalkan kita capai.3. Melakukan setiap senaman dengan rasa seronok tanpa rasa beban – Enjoy & Fun.4. Bergaul & berkawan di dalam kelompok yang mempunyai tujuan & minat yang sama – mudah untuk bertukar-tukar pendapat dan ilmu & melakukan aktiviti bersama.5. Tidur yang cukup.6. Pengambilan air yg secukupnya.7. Melakukan aktiviti-aktiviti sekurang-kurangnya 3 atau 4 kali seminggu – kalau boleh elakkan dari rehat lebih dari 2 hari berturut-turut.8. Mengambil ukuran badan setiap 2 kali seminggu.9. Perlu ada hari berehat dalam setiap minggu.10. Perlu ada usaha yang berterusan dalam mencari ilmu fitness & diet – perlu rajin membuat bacaan berkaitan fitness & die dan merujuk kepada mereka yang pakar.

Malaysian Uncle Set Up An Urban Orchard In KL To Cope With The Loss Of His Son

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

Losing someone close to us is possibly one of the most painful life experiences we go through

It's as if we're left trying to walk through life with an emptiness, a place that only that person could fill. It's heart-wrenching, difficult, and life can never be or feel the same after they're gone. Many cope with their loss in different ways — for one uncle, he found the strength to carry on by putting his efforts into growing an orchard in KL.

Image via @wikiimpact (TikTok)

Meet Uncle Yen

After going through the heartbreaking loss of his son seven years ago, Uncle Yen needed a way to cope.According to Wiki Impact, Uncle Yen, also known as Yen Maseri Hj Idris decided leave his job after his son had passed away.Having spent 32 years in the recruitment industry and as a graveyard digger for a year, Uncle Yen shared that losing his son greatly affected him. To keep him going, he left his job and worked on this personal project near his home.

Image via @wikiimpact (TikTok)

In a video interview with Wiki Impact, Uncle Yen shared that he cleaned up a mosquito breeding area and transformed it into an orchard brimming with life

Naming it Urban Orchard KL, the space is now filled with an abundance of fruit trees and a clean stream that is home to Tilapia fish and tortoises. He also looks after several stray animals in the area.

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Urban Orchard KL (@urbanorchardkl)

Initially funding the project out of his own savings, Uncle Yen has since formed a club of 150 members who chip in financially whenever the orchard needs things like protective gates or when the stray animals have vet bills due to injuries.

Image via @wikiimpact (TikTok)

Although it's not open to the public at the moment, Uncle Yen's hope for the orchard is for the younger generation to be able to enjoy it — and perhaps one day, he would love to open an ice cream parlour in the same space

			I'm giving this to the young people. I just take care of the orchard, and that's enough for me. I'm very happy. This is what I've been telling the young people. This is for you guys.

Naked Boyfriend Gets Surprise Butt Wax For 'Killing' Girlfriend's Dog

Dominika Petrinova from Czech Republic is giving her boyfriend a surprise butt wax as a revenge for playing a mean prank on her. He had told her that her dog Sam accidentally got caught in the washing machine and she burst into tears trying to stop the machine. Tears turned to fury when he revealed that her dog was safe and it was just a joke.

Image via Daily Mail

Image via Viral Brothers

The 27-year-old girl proved to her YouTuber boyfriend Eric Meldik of the Viral Brothers that hell really has no fury like a woman's scorn.

This was how Erik pissed off his girlfriend:

×

Ms Dominika decided to return the favour that will serve as a painful reminder not to mess with her again

Her hilarious comeback clip shows her super gluing waxing strips to a chair. She then baits her naked boyfriend, who had his birthday just the day before, with a promise that she had one more birthday treat for him.

Image via Viral Brothers

Oh, you wish buddy.

Eric had just gotten out from the shower and was blindfolded. She led him naked in all his glory to sit on the chair with the surprise. When he took off his blindfolds, he was confused but still calm...

Image via Viral Brothers

...Till he found out that he was glued to the chair

Image via Viral Brothers

Image via Viral Brothers

His sudden realization is priceless!

Grabbing his face in agony, he realizes what he has to do is to pull himself free from the clutches of the wax, literally.

Image via Viral Brothers

Erik tried pulling himself off from the chair but it didn't work. You can feel his pain as he screams in agony. He even resorted to grabbing the wardrobe for extra support.

Image via Viral Brothers

And that just made it all the more painful.

When he finally freed himself he runs off and curls up in a ball of pain on the bed, leaving behind a very painful looking trail of hair on the bubblegum pink wax strip

Image via Viral Brothers

Be prepared for a lot of painful screaming when you watch the video of Dominika's revenge:

The gifs may be funny but hearing Erik's gut-wrenching screams makes us cringe from the amount of pain he is going through in this sticky situation.

Moral of the story? People show love in the weirdest of ways.

Malaysian Explains 10 Smart Ways IKEA Gets Customers To Buy More Things

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

It's hard not to love IKEA. From the second you step into the store, you're hit with a whiff of its signature pine wood scent. It's almost impossible to leave (at least for me).

More than that, it appears that there's a 'science' behind how IKEA entices its customers.Just when you think you're only running in for one item, you're leaving with 16 things instead. D:

Image via Apparel Resources

How is this possible? And what is it about this 'Adult Disneyland' that we're so in love with?
One Malaysian breaks down the 'psychology' behind it.

In a Twitter thread that has garnered over 6,500 retweets since 15 July, tech enthusiast @richardker shares how IKEA outlets are built to get customers to stay as long as possible.

From the ability to leave your children at Småland to the lack of windows and sunlight, customers become less aware of the time and are free to shop without any distractions

Image via IKEA Hackers

"You can find windows with no sunlight. It's a trick borrowed from casinos. The clocks are either fake or not telling the right time. You [lose] your senses and unknowingly buy more," he explains.

IKEA's attention to detail shows how the furniture retailer accommodates customers' needs by placing pencils, papers, and measuring tapes around the store to help with your shopping list

Image via Wikipedia

Small items around the stores also encourage impulse buying, such as "bedsheets next to the beds, candles on tables, glass jars at the kitchen section, and pillows next to sofas", so you end up thinking, "I better get these now otherwise I have to come back here later."

The most obvious and clever strategy is the exceptional 'maze layout' of each store that's designed so customers can only move in one direction

Though there are shortcuts throughout the layout, he explains that IKEA wants you to see everything inside, so you will likely walk from start to end.

Image via @richardker (Twitter)

The arrows on the floors also "complement the maze layout of their stores"."This means you don't need to think where to go next. Just follow the arrows."

Image via Jason Cook/cookedphotos (Flickr)

He goes on to say that IKEA's store locations in many countries are also strategically placed just outside city centres

"This makes people [think they] need to make their trip to IKEA worth it." It's a cognitive bias known as sunk cost fallacy, he elaborates, adding that 30% of customers visit IKEA for food, according to the company's research. "Food gives effect on how shoppers think and feel. When you're not hungry, you stay longer and shop more."In Malaysia, it helps that IKEA's curry puffs and ice cream are also great 'rewards' to look forward to after the end of customers' shopping hauls! :D

Image via Hafi O/Foursquare

In addition, small items are placed around the checkout counters, so that while you're waiting in line, you will be tempted to pick up one or more items

Image via Gilbert G/Foursquare

All of these clever tactics adds to Ker's point of how you end up spending more at the store.

Lastly, he explains that the whole self-assembly concept that IKEA uses encourages a sense of accomplishment for the customer

"You feel connected to your purchase because you put it together yourself," and in return may post about it on social media which works as "free marketing" for the company, he adds on.

10. Assemble yourselfFinally, you left & went home. You bought a self-assembly chair. You assembled it & proudly post it on your social media.You feel connected connected to your purchase because you put it together yourself.Free marketing for IKEA. pic.twitter.com/UYnQfMZu3I— Richard Ker (@richardker) June 15, 2022

This Computer Science Student Built An App That Can Detect Whether An Essay Was AI-Written

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

In this era where AI (artificial intelligence) is so widespread, people are even starting to use it to write their essays for them

Image via Kaitlyn Baker/Unsplash

Previously, a student claimed he managed to get straight A's from using AI to write his essays, and we even tried it out ourselves and the results were pretty decent. It's safe to say that even teachers are growing increasingly concerned over their students using ChatGPT software to write their essays. ChatGPT is an AI writing tool that uses Reinforced Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) to produce text as closely-related with humans as possible.

However, one computer-science student, Edward Tian, recently built an app called GPTZero to counter the effects of AI-writing tools

I spent New Years building GPTZero — an app that can quickly and efficiently detect whether an essay is ChatGPT or human written— Edward Tian (@edward_the6) January 3, 2023

The app is able to "quickly and efficiently detect whether an essay is ChatGPT or written by a human" by analysing perplexity and burstiness. Perplexity detects the randomness of a word in a sentence, while burstiness compares how relevant sentences within a paragraph are. According to Tian, AI Chatbots often appear more uniform and constant, while human text varies.Tian also expressed that he started this project as an attempt to combat AI plagiarism.

Additionally, Tian said the app is still "barebones" at the moment, but he'll continue to work on improving output results

Sorry, future robot overlords — we think you lost this round. :P


Pakatan Harapan Government Has Collapsed After The Coalition Lost Its Majority

The Pakatan Harapan (PH) ruling government has collapsed after the coalition lost its Parliamentary majority of 129 seats

The collapse of the ruling government comes after the resignation of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and 26 Federal lawmakers pulling out from the pact today, 24 February.

Recap for non-Malaysian observers on what’s happening:1. PMO just confirmed Dr M resigned as PM2. PPBM quits Pakatan Harapan, leaving only PKR, DAP & Amanah3. 11 MPs quit PKR to become indies supporting Dr M4. The current PH on its own doesn't hold majority in Parliament— Zurairi A.R. (@zurairi) February 24, 2020

According to Malaysiakini, the Pakatan Harapan coalition is left with 97 seats in the Dewan Rakyat after 26 MPs from Bersatu and 11 MPs from PKR quit the coalition.

However, Barisan Nasional in the opposition still doesn't have enough numbers to form a new government despite the support from others

Any new coalition will require at least 112 seats to form the majority in the Dewan Rakyat.Malaysiakini reported that situation currently points towards a "hung parliament" because no political parties nor coalitions have the majority in the Dewan Rakyat.

Survey: M'sian Women Love Men With 'Dad Bods' More Than Those With Muscular Bodies

Bad news for men who are rocking six-pack abs out there, because a recent survey found that more Malaysian women find men with a bit of belly fat more attractive than athletic men

Image via BuzzFeed

The finding was revealed in a survey conducted by JustDating on 400 Malaysian users

Just Dating (JD) is a dating platform that helps users find friendships, dates, and other meaningful relationships online.In a press release made available to SAYS, it is revealed that their latest survey found 53% of users in Malaysia prefer men with dad bods — a male body type that is best described as 'softly round' and commonly found among middle-aged men."It is found that muscular men are no longer popular. 53% of women said they are more interested in 'uncle-looking men with dad bods'," JD said."The Penang women are the least irresistible to men with a small belly. Not only this figure is the sexiest to them, but such a body can be hugged like a teddy bear plushie when they feel lonely, giving them a sense of security!"

Image via HuffPost

The survey noted that 70% of Penang women who love men with dad bods are young women aged between 18 and 25.The older the female respondents are, the more they prefer muscular men instead.

However, the women in Klang Valley have a slightly different taste

According to the survey, women living in Klang Valley still prefer muscular men, with only 32% of them able to accept men with fleshy figures."The remaining find men with strong thighs and biceps, as well as round buttocks, more alluring, especially among office ladies (OL) aged between 28 and 35," it said.

As for women respondents in Johor, JD said the group prefers lean men with long hair

"Lean, 'wild-style', and long-haired men who carry themselves with an artistic vibe are the most popular among the group," it added."88% of women fall into their unique charm."

Other than body figures, the survey also found that half of the women like observing men's Adam's apples, especially when they drink water.The respondents said seeing how the laryngeal prominence roll up and down is luscious to them.

Netizens Confused By KPN's Tweet About Not Wearing Jalur Gemilang-Themed Clothing

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

A tweet by the Ministry of National Unity (KPN) has confused many netizens as it says that members of the public should not wear Jalur Gemilang as part of their clothing

The tweet was published on KPN's official Twitter account at 11am today, 13 August, more than two weeks ahead of National Day — which falls on 31 August.Citing the Department of Information (JPN), KPN published a photo that says, "The use of (Malaysia's) flag on tables, cushions, curtains, umbrellas, towels, face masks, hats, songkok, tanjak, sampin, clothes, and others are not allowed."It also added that it is not allowed to cover vehicles with the Jalur Gemilang.

Netizens were bewildered by this, as in the past, many famous personalities were celebrated for incorporating Malaysia's flag into their clothes

From Sudirman Arshad to Datuk Sri Siti Nurhaliza and national astronaut Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, many netizens replied to KPN's tweet by uploading photos of famous Malaysians wearing the Jalur Gemilang.

One netizen even cited a 2016 tweet by JPN, where they lauded a family for wearing Jalur Gemilang-themed clothing.

In 2006, then Deputy Culture, Arts, and Heritage Minister Datuk Wong Kam Hoong said it was okay for Malaysians to creatively incorporate the Jalur Gemilang into their outfits

"It's all right if people wear it as an outfit, as long as the intention is to show love and pride for the country," Wong told The Star on 23 August 2006.Wong also mentioned that the late singer Sudirman wore the national flag as a stage costume while he was performing a patriotic song.He only cautioned members of the public against using the Jalur Gemilang as seat covers as they would be sitting on the flag, which is deemed disrespectful.Then Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin also echoed the sentiment.

On 7 August, Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah discouraged members of the public from wearing the national flag

He said the Jalur Gemilang should be displayed on its own, reported Bernama."At times mistakes are made in the manner the flag is put up and flown. Such mistakes have happened in the past. For example, we put up a banner and the flag is put behind the banner. In the front there are all sorts of wordings, people's faces... this we do not encourage. A flag must stand on its own," he said during an interview in conjunction with the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2021 campaign."It is the same with clothes, we do not encourage it (flag) to be used as clothing. However, using the national flag colours on clothes is alright. If we want to use the flag we have to do it in its entirety... we can't (use it) partially and so on, this we do not encourage."Saifuddin then urged members of the public to refer to an e-book published by JPN, where it contains explanations on national symbols, such as the Royal Standard, the Coat of Arms, and Jalur Gemilang.

He also said the rakyat should refer to the book so that there will not be any misuse of the national symbols.


Singaporean PM's Wife Used A RM45 Purse When She Visited The White House

It was a high-profile occasion on 2 August, when US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed Singaporean PM Lee Hsien Loong and his wife, Madam Ho Ching at The White House

Image via AFP/Getty Images

The couple were welcomed with a formal arrival ceremony at the White House. Later, Mr Lee had a meeting with Obama in the Oval Office.  "This marks the first official state visit by a Singaporean prime minister in over 30 years. It celebrates the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our two nations. And it is a reflection of my friendship and partnership with Prime Minister Lee over the last eight years,” Obama was quoted as saying by WSJ.

However, it was Ho Ching who stole the limelight after she was spotted using a dinosaur motif denim pouch for the arrival ceremony

Image via Alphonsus Chern/ST Photo

The pouch, called a Denim Pouch-Dino Blue Black, was reportedly designed by 19-year-old Sheetoh Sheng Jie, who is a student at Singapore's Pathlight School for autistic children.  According to The Straits Times, she bought the purse for SGD14.80 (RM45) last Saturday during the 'A Very Special Walk' concert and funfair that aimed to raise funds for autism support services. Ho Ching, commonly addressed as 'Mrs Lee' by Singaporeans, is an adviser to Autism Resource Centre, which set up Pathlight. She is also a patron of the Autism Association Singapore.

Netizens have since poured their praises for Mrs Lee for her "humble choices"

Image via Facebook

Following the incident, the pouch was selling like hotcakes. In fact, due to the overwhelming response from the public, Sheng Jie's Dino pouches have been sold out. However, a notice by The Art Faculty, a store managed by Pathlight yesterday, 3 August, mentioned that those who are interested in purchasing the Dino pouches may pre-order the item online now.

Separately, Mrs Lee received equal attention that night as she joined her husband for a dinner hosted by Obama at the 12th state dinner of his administration in Washington

Image via Albert Wai/TODAY

Mr Lee and Mrs Lee were greeted by the Obamas at the White House North Portico.  Mrs Lee wore a kebaya with a gold-sparkly lace overlay while the US First Lady was in an ivory dress designed by Brandon Maxwell – a longtime stylist to singer Lady Gaga and a red carpet favourite. The couple were ushered into the White House and down the Grand Staircase for official photos before heading into the Blue Room.

Obama gave a toast before the dinner began, honouring PM Lee and speaking about the US' five decades of friendship with Singapore

"Nearly 50 years ago, President Lyndon Johnson welcomed to the White House the first prime minister of a newly independent Singapore – a man hailed as "a patriot, a brilliant political leader, and a statesman of the new Asia" – Singapore's founding father, Lee Kuan Yew," Obama reminded his crowd of  200 guests. "A half century later, Michelle and I are honoured to welcome his son – a patriot, a brilliant political leader, and a statesman of a rising, thriving Asia Pacific," Obama said.

"I'll Push Citizenship Bill If PN Wins" — Hamzah To M'sian Mums With Overseas-Born Kids

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

As the 15th General Election (GE15) campaigning is on its last legs, campaign promises seem to have become somewhat ironical in nature.
Take, for example, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin's promise to push for a citizenship bill for children born overseas to Malaysian mothers.

Hamzah, as the Home Affairs Minister, challenged a landmark ruling by the Kuala Lumpur High Court that Malaysian mothers' overseas-born children are entitled to be Malaysian citizens by law.As the minister in charge, Hamzah has been responsible for leading appeals by two consecutive governments to effectively deny Malaysian women the same right that Malaysian men are automatically entitled to.In fact, Hamzah, who is the Peritakan Nasional (PN) secretary-general, has consistently denied that allowing only Malaysian men to obtain automatic citizenship for their overseas-born children is discriminatory.However, the caretaker Home Affairs Minister is now claiming that it's "not that I don't sympathise with the issue" and that he is "sympathetic" but couldn't do anything because his hands were "tied".According to him, PN will continue pushing for the bill to amend the Federal Constitution on citizenship for children born overseas by Malaysian mothers if given the mandate to form the federal government.Hamzah, who was speaking at a media conference in Muar, Johor, yesterday, 13 November, claimed that PN has followed his advice and included the citizenship issue in its agenda in its GE15 manifesto."I hope everyone [...] will follow what PN has announced earlier. This will show that this [citizenship] issue can be resolved earlier if everyone had been with me," Bernama quoted him as saying.

Contrary to Hamzah's claims, none of the promises in PN's manifesto commits to amending the Federal Constitution on equal citizenship.
In fact, PN is the only coalition that hasn't explicitly stated anything about the gender-discriminatory citizenship law and simply mentions "finalising a study on feasibility" of the relevant amendments.

Only Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) have committed to amending the Federal Constitution and the related laws to uphold citizenship rights for overseas-born children born to Malaysian women.PH has also committed to amending other laws of the Federal Constitution to guarantee citizenship to any child born in Malaysia to either a Malaysian mother or father, regardless of race or religion.For the record, PH was the first of the three major coalitions to release its manifesto, having done so on 2 November. PN announced its own on 6 November, while BN released its manifesto the following day.SAYS has written about three of the country's biggest coalitions' manifestos here.

Police Probes Muslim NGO For Sedition Over "Chinese Are Trespassers" Remark

Isma President Pleads Not Guilty For Saying 'Chinese Are Trespassers'

Isma President Pleads Not Guilty To Sedition
Image via themalaymailonline.com

Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman (pic) pleaded not guilty to a charge of sedition over his remarks about how the Chinese came to Malaysia. The charge was read to him before Sessions judge Nor Hazani Hamzah.

        thestar.com.my

Abdullah Zaik also pleaded not guilty to an alternative charge of publishing an article titled, “The coming of the Chinese with the British colonialists a form of intrusion” on the Isma website at www.ismaweb.net.

        theborneopost.com

If convicted on the first charge, he could face a jail term of up to three years or a fine not exceeding RM5,000, or both. He could be jailed up to five years on the other charge.

        thestar.com.my

DPP Manoj Kurup offered RM5,000 bail in one surety. However, counsel Haezreene Begum Abdul Hamid asked the amount be reduced as her client had to support nine school-going children. Judge Nor Hazani retained the bail amount as offered by the DPP in one surety and ordered that Abdullah Zaik’s passport be surrendered to the court.

        theborneopost.com

Outside the court, Abdullah Zaik said Isma would keep fighting for the rights of the Muslims and Malays. Abdullah Zaik, who was accompanied by his wife Norsaleha Mohd Salleh, who is Isma women’s chief, as well as his supporters, said the action against him was an attempt to stop him from “telling the truth”. “The media has accused Isma of being affiliated to the Government or Umno. “But the sedition charge against me proves that we are not protected by anyone,” he said.

        therakyatpost.com

Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman said in a statement that police had issued him a warrant, and he will be present at the Kajang court tomorrow.

If found guilty, Abdullah Zaik could be sentenced to a maximum of three years of jail or maximum fine of RM5,000 or both.

Islamist group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) has claimed that Chinese migrants brought in by the British to Tanah Melayu were “trespassers” and this wrong had to be corrected.

“The Chinese Entered This Country Together With The British Invaders As Intruders."

According to Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman, the ethnic group were considered intruders into Malay land, and had been brought by British colonialists to oppress Malays.

        themalaymailonline.com

“The Chinese entered this country together with the British invaders as intruders. Who gave them citizenship and wealth until their intrusion is protected until today?” “Those were all done by the British, who were conspiring with the Chinese to oppress and bully the Malays.”

Isma President Abdullah Zaik Said This Was A Mistake That Had To Be Corrected

Abdullah also said this was a mistake which had to be corrected but he did not say how. "Nobody has the right to mortgage the sovereignty of Islam and the Malays on this land."

        themalaysianinsider.com

"If They Want To Remain As Citizens Of This Country, They Must Pledge Loyalty To The Agong And Accept The Position Of Islam As The Official Religion And The Sovereign Rights Of Malays."

Abdullah insisted that if the Chinese wish to stay as Malaysian citizens, they must be loyal to the Malay kings, accept that Islam as the religion of the federation, and accept the sovereign rights of the Malays. He claimed that a foreign race like the Chinese should not interfere and hinder the ambition of the Malays in the latter’s own country.

        themalaymailonline.com

"If they want to remain as citizens of this country, they must pledge loyalty to the Agong and accept the position of Islam as the official religion and the sovereign rights of Malays.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Standing in the way of Malay ambition and denying Malays their right in determining the future of the nation is a challenge and an act of overstepping by a foreign race," he said.

MCA Has Denounced Isma's Statements, Citing Article 8 Of The Federal Constitution That Declares No Discrimination

Malay rights group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) has been reminded that the Chinese are Malaysian citizens too, and accorded equal protection in the federal constitution.

        malaysiakini.com

"Perhaps Isma is not familiar with Article 8 of the federal constitution which declares that 'there shall be no discrimination against citizens on the ground only of religion, race, descent', said MCA secretary-general Ong Ka Chuan.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“Our community have contributed towards the quality of education, gender empowerment, employment, trade, investment and business opportunities, cultural diversity and defence of the nation,” he said.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

"We are Malaysian citizens, rakyat Malaysia. Our blue MyKad indicates our citizenship which should not be questioned by any quarters at all. "All our rights as Malaysian citizens irrespective of ethnicity are enshrined in the federal constitution," said Ong, who is also Tanjung Malim MP, in a statement today.

“It is racist and prejudiced as this derogatory insult hits below the belt because it falsely likens the Chinese community as having committed an offence,” said Ong.

MIC Voiced Up In Defence Of The Chinese Community, Stating That Isma Is A Dangerous Disease

According to MIC strategic director S Vell Paari, when somebody first mentioned the term "Isma" to him, he thought it was a sexually transmitted disease (STD). "I am not joking. That's exactly what I thought," Vell Paari told Malaysiakini. "But now I know that Isma is not a STD but something far worse. "It is a more debilitating illness, which if left unchecked, could ruin all that we have achieved until now," Vell Paari warned

        malaysiakini.com

He noted that it is disconcerting to see such elements threatening the harmony of this nation and called on the authorities to act against them. "What does he mean in urging the Malays to 'correct this historical mistake'? Is he asking for racial bloodletting? Is Isma a terror group and are the police going to ignore them?" he asked.

        malaysiakini.com

"The Chinese are wealthy because they are hardworking and have an enviable sense of business acumen. Unlike what Isma believes, wealth was not given to them on a silver platter. "The Chinese, Indians and other races have helped shape what Malaysia is at present be it in economic terms, infrastructure and even information technology."

        malaysiakini.com

In Response, Isma Told MIC's Vell Paari To Stay Out Of Matters That Do Not Involve Him

Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) today accused MIC strategic director Datuk Seri S. Vell Paari of insulting Muslims nationwide today after he jokingly compared the Islamist group to a sexually-transmitted disease (STD) yesterday.

        themalaymailonline.com

“Don’t be foul-mouthed, it is better to stay quiet than making a senseless remark. And he doesn’t need to be involved in matters which do not involve him,” one of the group’s vice-presidents Abdul Rahman Mat Dali was quoted as saying on Isma’s website.

        themalaymailonline.com

The group also warned Vell Paari against making any foul remarks against the group, and claimed that it was Vell Paari who is afflicted by STD. “More than that, I say he is like kurang akal and childish,” he added, using the Malay phrase which roughly means “half-witted”.

Despite being wrongly accused of restarting The Batman for VVIPs, the cinema chain decided to give back to moviegoers.

In a Facebook post published yesterday, 9 March, TGV Cinemas announced that they will be giving out one free movie ticket to every MovieClub member.Calling it the "TGV VVIP Day" where "Everybody is a VVVIP!", the free movie ticket is not just reserved for The Batman only. It can be used on any show on Friday, 11 March.

The promotion comes after a TGV Cinemas outlet in Kuching, Sarawak faced a miscommunication problem, which caused The Batman to be restarted after running for 45 minutes

On 5 March, moviegoers of the 7.15pm session were forced to rewatch a large portion of the movie because other customers came in late.However, it was a miscommunication that caused the customers to come in late.The outlet was facing a technical problem, which delayed some shows throughout the day.But the problem was promptly fixed and the 7.15pm session was able to start on time. Some staff were not informed about the latest update and told customers that the movie was delayed, when in fact, it started on time."[At] this time, approximately 20% of the guests had already entered the hall while the remaining 80% were still waiting at the foyer and entered the hall after the movie had already commenced," TGV Cinemas said in their apology statement.

Prior to the apology, the cinema chain went viral online, as netizens and moviegoers alike accused them of restarting the movie for VVIPs.The "TGV VVIP Day" promotion can be seen as their way to apologise for their recent blunder.

The cinema chain apologised for their mistake two days after the incident:

It also acknowledged that the decision to stop and restart the movie has inconvenienced their customers, emphasising ...

TasteAtlas Posts About Roti Canai... With A Video That Isn't Roti Canai

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

In a tweet made earlier this month, TasteAtlas shared a 24-second video of a so-called roti canai and rated the "pan-fried flatbread" 4.9 stars

"Roti canai is a traditional Malaysian pan-fried flatbread. It can be served on the side, but also as the star dish, accompanied by different fillings and ingredients," wrote the Croatian food and travel site.

Image via @TasteAtlas (Twitter)

However, the roti canai shown in the video was, in fact, NOT roti canai (at least not the kind Malaysians are familiar with).
The "flat bread" wasn't even canai-ed (flattened in Bahasa Melayu) as seen in the video.

Malaysians came together to give their two-cents over the misrepresentation:

One user even reported the tweet to Twitter Support for misinformation. AS THEY SHOULD.

Image via @TasteAtlas (Twitter)

In the video, the flaky bread was torn open and filled with lettuce, a fried egg, chilli oil, and chopped scallions — not the usual ingredients eaten with roti canai

Image via @TasteAtlas (Twitter)

TasteAtlas might have confused the Malaysian pride and joy with a popular south Indian street dish, malabar paratha, that is cooked in a similar method to the one shown in the video

It could also be one of the Chinese bing variations — a popular Chinese street food that's a wheat-based delicacy flattened into a disk-like shape

Bing Zi (Image for illustration purposes only).

All we know is, whether it's roti canai, malabar paratha, or something else, TasteAtlas should get their facts checked first when it comes to Malaysian food.
We don't play-play one.

5 Basic Things To Know Before Buying An Under Construction Property

Under construction property is ready for sale even though it has not been built yet. It's one of the most sought-after property types that Malaysians go for.

Especially among millennials and young working couples.Buying an under construction property is very common in Malaysia.There are a couple of reasons behind this. First, developers are offering many freebies and incentives to attract buyers such as furniture, free legal fee, and flexible financing structures. On top of that, under construction properties often get a higher return as most of them are sold at 30% to 40%, compared to ready-to-move-into properties in the vicinity. As the property is fully developed, you will probably see a rise in the price of at least 20%.

Here are 5 things you should ask before buying an under construction property

Image via Skyscraper City

1. Is the developer trustworthy?

You must do your research on the track record of the developer you are buying a house from. Whether it is reviews, online ratings, social media pages, news or any other channels, you should compile all information about the developer’s trustworthiness before making a decision.We have all heard the worrying news such as cracks in new property due to the contractors’ fault or late surrender due to the developer’s financial complications.

2. Are the prices and rentals of properties in the vicinity promising?

If you want to get a good read on the return you are getting from buying this property, you should do research on the property prices and rentals in the surrounding area. It is even better if you can find a similar project so it gives you a better prediction of your property’s price when the project is complete.It is important to take a look at the availability of facilities such as supermarkets, schools, clinics, and roads, especially for projects in the newly developed area. If you are buying a house in a neighbourhood, you or your future tenant will need to have access to these facilities.

3. What is the defect free period/defect liability period?

A defect period acts as a warranty for your house, where any defects found must be submitted in writing to the developer. Malaysia requires developers to give the buyer up to 24 months of defect liability period (DLP) respectively.Defects Liability covers any defects due to defective material and workmanship (same as initial on-site inspection) on developer’s own cost. According to the law, if the defects are not in good condition (after 30 days), the buyer may notify the developer by sending a notice furnished with estimated cost and perhaps a paragraph of the furious complaint and give them another 14 days period to carry out the rectification.If the developer still fails to respond to the notice, the buyer could proceed with the rectification and charge the cost through the stakeholder lawyer who is holding 5% of purchase price in Housing Development Account.Before signing that sales purchase agreement, you should confirm this with your agent and make sure it is part of the agreement.

4. When is the delivery of vacant possession?

Vacant Possession (VP) refers to the condition of the property where it is fully completed but not fit to be occupied. To protect the buyers’ interest, developers are required by law to obtain proof, a certificate by architect, which certifies that the building is ready for water piping and electrical wiring connection before issuing VP. Besides that, application for Certificate of Fitness for Occupation (CFO) will need to be submitted and accepted by the state authority before the developer can hand out VP of housing units.You should also know that in the Housing Development Act, for multi-story (strata titled) development, developers are obligated to hand over VP within 36 months from the SPA date. Not only that, common procedure assures that the buyer is entitled to have the property to be completed within 36 months. In the event where the developer fails to adhere to the timeline, the buyer will be compensated for 10% of the purchase price per annum.

5. What happens if there is a delay?

You should ask for extra guarantees from the developer such as handouts or penalty for a delay in project development. Do not neglect this part because this is common in not just our country, but everywhere else around the world. What if you need to pay an extra 6 months’ rent because of a delay in your property completion?Ask everything about a backup plan and demand for a guarantee if there is none even if it makes you sound pushy. If the agent is not serious enough to answer all your questions or give assurance on what happens if there is a delay, walk away and keep looking.Buying a property should not come as an impulsive decision because you will be spending at least 50% – 60% of your income in paying just for it over the next 10 to 20 years.
