This Student Is Making Our Favourite Food Packaging Like Samyang And McD Into High Fashion

A 23-year-old student in the United States found a really creative outlet to channel her woes during the COVID-19 pandemic

Putri Samboda, who is currently studying in Washington DC, started upcycling old food packaging instead of throwing them away.Sharing her projects on Instagram, she created some high fashion pieces such as White Rabbit candy wrapper-lined heels and even a top and bottom from Samyang and Indomie instant noodle packaging.

Hailing from Yogyakarta in Indonesia, Putri told SAYS she began upcycling because she was feeling stressed out while staying alone in the US during quarantine

"I actually did my first upcycling piece two years ago which was the Khong Guan bag," she said when asked what was her inspiration for starting the project."But the whole idea is about combining high fashion items with common local goods."

One of her most liked pieces on Instagram is a pair of loafers that she had refashioned with McDonald's iconic paper bags."Initially, I wanted to get rid of my old Gucci flats, but since I'm really into upcycling, I thought it'd be cool if I could rework them and name it McLoafers," she said in an interview with HYPEBAE."I came up with the idea after I had 20 pieces of Chicken McNuggets."

Putri revealed to SAYS that she is actually self-taught and learnt everything there was to know about redesigning clothes online

"I don't have any fashion background so I learned sewing, pattern-making, and the rest from YouTube tutorials," she said.She added that it took her a few days to complete a piece and that it was relatively easy to come up with ideas, but it still took her time to experiment with different materials."It really depends, but the longest was my rice sack skirt which took me a week."

A lot of her fans have since been asking Putri to put her unique fashion wear and accessories up for sale

"I'm thinking of it now since a lot of people have been asking. But it might take some time, since I want to make sure that the quality of my work is really up to standard," she answered.Until then, she will be creating more garments out of odd everyday items.The latest experiment she said is going to be a bathroom water scoop.

Youth leaders are making an impact all over the world

Image via True Scoop News

In a time where the young generation has begun to take the lead and get involved in advocacy and nation building, it's safe to say that the youth are the future of our country. The shift in the mindsets of younger leaders are inspiring, and that's definitely a key to change.While the likes of Greta Thunberg and Malala Yousafzai come to mind, we have our own band of Malaysian youth who are pushing for attention on various issues, and influencing change. And that's where Youth PACT 2022 comes into play.

In January 2022, Taylor's College and the Malaysian Institute for Debate and Public Speaking (MIDP) will be hosting an event titled Youth Partnership in Action to Change Tomorrow (Youth PACT 2022)

With this, they hope to engage about 1,000 Malaysian youths in a series of constructive debates on nation-building, policy, politics as well as social justice issues facing their generation. To be held virtually on 8-9 January 2022, Youth PACT 2022 aims to bring young Malaysians together with youth leaders and change-makers to encourage action. Manifesto and mentorship sessions, as well as a forum and capacity building seminars are all part of this exciting event!

Check out the teaser video here:

CEO of MIDP, Emellia Shariff, highlights the importance of youth in politics, and how they can provide useful insights in various fields

"We hope to mainstream and bring to the limelight the opinions, perspectives, and lived experiences of our youth on these important topics, while debunking the myth that our youth are uninterested or incapable of providing meaningful contributions to nation-building across the political, economic, and social spectrum," she said.

Sounds exciting? This event will also feature noteworthy names from various industries who will share their views on current issues.
Here are some of the programmes to look out for at this event:

1. Listen to youth leaders getting candid about what they want to see in Malaysia

Image via MIDP (Provided to SAYS)

The Youth Manifesto is a platform for respected youth leaders to share their hopes and demands for the changes they want to see on a variety of subjects, as well as the initiatives they are promoting to make Malaysia a better place.Titled 'Towards A Better Malaysia: Apa Lagi Belia Mahu?', this forum is hosted by many notable youth leaders in the country.

2. Explore exciting political topics like having a Malaysian youth for Prime Minister

Image via MIDP (Provided to SAYS)

At the Youth Forum, young politicians and leaders from various political parties get to explore the prospects of growing youth participation in politics, as well as any changes in the local political environment. Following the theme, 'Breaking New Ground: Will Malaysia Ever Be Ready For A Youth Prime Minister?', you can listen to opinions from the likes of current youth ministers and thought leaders.

3. Hear real success and failure stories from other youth leaders during the Youth Mentorship segment

Image via MIDP (Provided to SAYS)

During the Youth Mentorship segment titled '#BeTheChange: Disrupting Status Quo', experienced youth leaders share their personal stories of success and failures, lessons learnt, as well as tips and tricks for young change-makers, particularly in leading for meaningful change on various social justice issues in Malaysia.

Taylor's College Campus Director, Josephine Tan, believes that the youth of today hold the potential and key for positive action towards a better, stronger nation

"Similar to how we have crafted our Taylor'sphere ecosystem that nurtures the intellectual, practical and creative intelligence of students, we hope platforms such as Youth PACT will enable youth to learn, engage, discuss, and develop solutions to create societal impact," Tan continued.

Up to 15 youth organisations will participate in the event, all of which are dedicated to raising awareness and educating Malaysians about a variety of topics, including education equity, climate justice, gender equality, youth employability, disability rights, and many others

"By showcasing youth leaders talking about complex, pertinent, and sometimes even controversial topics with tact, passion, and openness, we hope that this will inspire students to also speak up on issues impacting various aspects of their lives from a young age," said Emellia. Also included in Youth PACT will be workshops aimed at equipping youth change makers with the tools to devise innovative solutions for social issues as well as measure the success of their projects and campaigns.Wanna know something even more amazing? In an effort to be inclusive and diverse, every Youth PACT 2022 session will be translated into Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM) live, so that the deaf community can also take part and contribute to the conversations. <3

Terengganu Fire and Rescue Department director Md Hilman Ab Rashid told New Straits Times that during the incident, Jusoh tried to save his 79-year-old wife Fatimah Mohd. However, due to his limited mobility, he was unable to rescue her and sustained burns on his back and legs while his wife died at the scene.Her charred remains were later found inside the house and were handed to the police for further action.Md Hilman explained, "When we reached the fire site, we saw that Jusoh's house was already 80% burnt. The elderly couple's house was completely destroyed, while the two other houses were about 50% burnt."He added that firemen took about 10 minutes to bring the fire under control and completely doused it 30 minutes later.

Singaporean Guy Pranks Helper By Telling Her To Pick Up A Child's Toy In Hilarious Video

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

Singaporean couple, Marcus and Gwen, who often share their family shenanigans on social media, went viral for a funny video the husband posted on Monday, 22 May

On their joint TikTok account called @gigianddumbo, a name referencing their kid and dog, Marcus shared a video of a prank he pulled on their helper, Yuli, who he told SAYS has been with them for three years."Yuli, why you take so long to keep one toy?" he wrote in the caption with a cheeky emoji.

The video captures Marcus asking Yuli to store away a toy that's lying on the floor.
But just as Yuli tries to pick it up, she notices another similar toy underneath the first one.

Image via @gigianddumbo (TikTok)

Little does she know that the toy is actually a type of Russian doll set, also known as stacking dolls, which are placed one inside another in decreasing sizes

And Yuli is left to pick up each doll, every single time.

Image via @gigianddumbo (TikTok)

Tickled by the prank, Yuli repeated this several times, until she finally thought that she'd collected them all.
But soon realised that she, in fact, still had one tiny doll left on the floor... and then another last one under that.

Bursting out in laughter, along with everyone else watching her, she bends down to retrieve the last few dolls.

The video, which ends with Yuli staring at the dolls in her hands while laughing in defeat, has also left the Internet in stitches

Some immediately asked where they could find the toy. And Marcus replied to one comment saying that he found it randomly on Shopee.

So You Tested Positive For COVID-19. What Happens Next?

This story has a newer version. Read it below:

                Here's A Step-By-Step Guide On What To Do If You Test Positive For COVID-19

The Ministry of Health has updated several protocols.

Read the full story

With cases of COVID-19 on the rise, many are asking: what happens if I test positive? Will I be hospitalised? How will all my close contacts be traced?

The good news is there are clear guidelines, COVID-19 hotlines, and many online consultation services provided by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Malaysia that answer these queries.

Image via 3M

Here's what to expect if you get tested positive for COVID-19:

1. The District Health Office (PKD) will send an ambulance to pick you up from your home

Once you test COVID-19 positive, it will set in motion a series of events, starting with your screening centre registering you as a COVID-19 case and notifying your local PKD about you.The PKD will arrange for an ambulance to pick you up and send you to the closest designated COVID-19 admitting hospital.

Image via Aswadi Alias/New Straits Times

2. You will be admitted to a hospital for isolation, regardless of symptoms

Even if you do not have symptoms for COVID-19, you will need to be isolated from the public and your own family members to prevent the spread of the disease.Furthermore, admission will help healthcare professionals monitor your progress and provide appropriate medical care according to your needs.People most affected by COVID-19 are patients above 50 years old and with pre-existing chronic illnesses.And while most patients will only have mild disease, clinical deterioration can occur in about 10% to 15% of cases. Some cases develop new or worsening breathing symptoms between five and 12 days from when they first notice symptoms.

Image via Reuters/The Straits TImes

3. Pack for at least a 10-day stay at the hospital

Here's a checklist of things to bring to the hospital:- Important documents (IC, list of medications)- Handphone and charger- Towel- A bag of toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste)- Clean clothes and underwear (hospital gowns are usually provided)- Comfortable flip-flops- Snacks and a water bottle- If you are quite well, a lot of entertainment - tablet, books, earphones, puzzles, magazinesAccording to the MOH's discharge criteria, you will be in the hospital for at least 10 days before being allowed to leave.More specifically, if you are a COVID-19 case with no symptoms, you can be discharged 10 days after you first tested positive with the coronavirus. If you do have symptoms, you can only be discharged 10 days after the symptoms first began and at least 24 hours since they have subsided.Most notably, patients need not repeat a COVID-19 test to be discharged from the ward.

4. District Health Officers will notify your close contacts to come in for testing

Close contacts will be identified by the PKD and MOH through multiple avenues, including history taking (which will involve you remembering where you have been in the last 14 days) and the mySejahtera tracing app.The definition of a close contact of a confirmed case is a person who has been in direct contact (shook hands, for example) or have interacted (stood less than 1m away) with a person who was later confirmed as a COVID-19 patient.These can include:- People who live in the same household as you.- Colleagues or classmates in close proximity with you at work or school.- Public transport users who took the same bus or train as you.- Healthcare workers not wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) who you saw before you were diagnosed.

Image via Mukhriz Hazim/Malaysiakini

All close contacts of a confirmed case must be tested for COVID-19 at screening hospitals and health centres.They will be either be asymptomatic and sent home as Persons Under Surveillance (PUS) to undergo 14 days of home quarantine, or be symptomatic and may require immediate admission as a Person Under Investigation (PUI) .On day 13, a PUS has to repeat the RT-PCR test and if it returns negative, they will be released from the quarantine the next day.

5. Contrary to popular belief, your house will not be sanitised by officers from the PKD or the MOH

They only carry out disinfections for public places.Instead, after you have left the house to the hospital, the MOH recommends that your family members sanitise the house by cleaning possibly contaminated surfaces and objects with a disinfectant solution such as bleach (Clorox).The recommended mix is one part Clorox to 50 parts of water. This 1:50 dilution is approximately one teaspoon (5ml) of 5.25% household bleach to one cup (250ml) of water.Otherwise, they also remind the household to continue maintaining good personal hygiene throughout quarantine such as practicing good cough etiquette, disposing soiled tissues into a lined and closed dustbin, and washing hands with soap and water frequently.

Image via WebMD

6. After discharge, you are encouraged to get adequate rest

You may continue to feel body aches, fatigue, and a mild cough, which can occur after a serious viral lung infection.The MOH guidelines said there is minimal risk of spreading the disease at this point though, so you can return to work immediately after your sick leave is over.To be on the safe side, make sure the room you are in is always well-ventilated, avoid sharing personal household items with your family, and practise avoiding the 3Cs - crowded places, confined spaces, and close conversation.

Remember to limit your movement and wash your hands often. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

Here are places in Malaysia where you can get tested for COVID-19 if you are a close contact:

                Here's Where You Can Get Tested For COVID-19 In Each State

The test costs RM1 for Malaysians at public hospitals and health clinics.

Deputy Minister: Veveonah Climbed Tree To Gain Online Popularity And Not For Exams

Editor's Note: This story has been updated with the Deputy Minister's latest statement.

Earlier today, 3 September, Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin questioned a Sabahan student's claim that she had to climb a tree and stay on top of it for 24 hours to get a better Internet connection for her online examinations in June

According to the Deputy Minister, who was speaking in the Dewan Negara, 18-year-old Veveonah Mosibin lied about having to sit for online examinations because "she didn't have an exam".Zahidi Zainul said that the University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) student is a YouTuber and wanted to be popular so she made the viral video for entertainment even though she didn't have exams at that time."The girl is a YouTuber. She didn't have an exam, we already checked. Which means she is smart. Therefore, honourable president, we should not so easily believe YouTubers and people who like to incite issues," he said."She didn't have exams during the time. Just a YouTuber who wanted to be popular. Which means that she was famous for a moment. But the truth is she did not have an exam. She just wanted to do (the video) for entertainment," the Deputy Minister told the Dewan Rakyat."Which means that this was a fabrication and sometimes we get lied to because we feel sorry for her."

Rakaman video pelajar UMS didakwa terpaksa panjat pokok untuk dapat capaian internet bagi menduduki peperiksaan secara dalam talian di Pitas, Sabah sebenarnya sekadar dilakukan hanya bertujuan hiburan dan menaikkan 'viewer' rancangan YouTubenya-Timbalan Menteri pic.twitter.com/HvuxU1SUOW— Mohd Redzuan Abdul Manap (@redzuanNewsMPB) September 3, 2020

On 13 June, Veveonah documented her experience on top of a tree and uploaded the video to her YouTube channel, where she had been posting videos during the Movement Control Order (MCO)

The video of Veveonah sitting for her online examinations on top of the tree went viral.Initially, the student planned to sit for her exams in a hut on top of a hill near her village.However, the hut collapsed due to strong winds and heavy rain. At the very last minute, she had no choice but to sit on top of a tree in order to obtain Internet access.Following her viral video, University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) offered Veveonah a scholarship.It also prompted the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to take action by planning to erect a new telco tower in another village near Kampung Sapatalang.

The Deputy Minister's claim in the Dewan Negara, however, is being contested by netizens who claim to be Veveonah's batchmates

"Please, don't spread slander. She was one of my batchmates for Asasi UMS, she sat for online examination just like the rest of us from 10 to 12 June 2020. She posted the video on 13 June 2020, so that means she did sit for online examination," said a Twitter user who shared the schedule for the exams.

Tolong jangan spread fitnah okay. She was one of my batchmate for Asasi UMS, she sat for online examination just like the rest of us during 10 June-12 June 2020. Dia post video dia on 13 June 2020, so maksudnya memang dia sit for online examination. Freaking clowns  pic.twitter.com/mQxz5Rsp77— crhxyan_smiley (@crhxyan) September 3, 2020

Similarly, other netizens also made the same claim about being Veveonah's classmates.

Aku 1 batch dgn veveonah, masa tu memang kami exam. Kami exam selasa-jumaat. Dan video tersebut di upload pada hari sabtu. Dan viral selepas beberapa hari. Semasa viral memang kami sdh habis exam. Sila buat kenyataan yg betul. https://t.co/uaHWXULg0Y—  ݢين Hee  (@WongGenHee) September 3, 2020

hi as one of her batchmate, saya nak beritahu yang veveonah was studying in foundation in science and we have final exam to sit during that week. if there is any semakan, may we see the evidence that shows yg dia tiada peperiksaan online? atau mmg saja nak sebarkan fitnah? — ⁱⁿ (@stekwashere) September 3, 2020

Following the publication of this SAYS story, Zahidi Zainul released a clarification statement, in which he apologised to the student:

He said that he would like to correct the statement he made about the Sabahan student.

Chinese Employers Are Hiring More Men To Avoid Paying Women Due To Longer Maternity Leave

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

Chinese employers in Malaysia now prefer to hire men due to a new policy that gives women longer paid maternity leave, a survey found

The survey, conducted by the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM), which is a national-level organisation, found that 41.3% of respondents indicated a shift to a higher male-to-female ratio in employment to mitigate the impact of extended maternity leave.According to the survey, released yesterday, 20 February, over 40% respondents indicated a "moderate to high" impact on their operating costs associated with the employment amendments made last year.Among the changes under the Employment (Amendment) Act 2022, maternity leave was increased from 60 to 98 days and the maximum number of weekly working hours was reduced from 48 to 45 hours. Other amendments include a higher threshold for overtime payment and widened coverage for all employees.The survey by ACCCIM covered Chinese businesses nationwide.

ACCCIM said that this does not bode well for encouraging women's participation in the labour force and promoting gender equality

In its proposal, ACCCIM said the government can consider a workable co-sharing payment of maternity benefits to lessen the cost burden on businesses like it is done in many other countries, where the payment of maternity benefits is generally either fully or partially funded by the Social Security Insurance system."At the same time, [the government should] continue supporting the participation of women in the labour force," ACCCIM added.

Woman Vents On Twitter After Her Car Gets Clamped By DBKL While "VIP" Gets Off Scot Free

A woman took to Twitter recently to highlight an incident where DBKL had clamped her car while a luxury car was left untouched

Image via @WinnieKepala

A Twitter user named Winnie posted a series of tweets on 19 October after she found that her car had been clamped by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) while the Mercedes-Benz in front got away scot-free."My car got clamped for illegal parking. Fine. But this VIP car who's there before me, also illegally parked, unharmed? @PDRMMsia #dbkl" she vented out in frustration.The post went viral and received over 20,000 retweets and 7,000 likes.

While she was having her car unclamped, she noticed several DBKL officers doing rounds and claimed the car in front was still left untouched

Image via @WinnieKepala

She confronted an officer on why the luxury car, which she described as a "PDRM VIP",  was not clamped."I am only tasked with unclamping vehicles. This is not discrimination as it is standard practice that if the driver of the vehicle is nearby, officers will normally not clamp the car," the officer replied. The driver of the luxury car, who was having a drink nearby, took notice of the ensuing commotion and promptly left.

The viral post caught the attention of former IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan who pointed out that the logo found on the luxury car was not an official VIP or police logo

It's not a PDRM VIP, it's a Retired Police Officers Association car badge and can be bought by anyone when they give donations to the Assoc.— Musa Hassan (@TSMusaHassan) October 19, 2017

The former police chief added that having the badge does not mean one can escape summons for traffic offences.

Winnie's tweet became a subject of debate as well. Some netizens said it's common to see vehicles with certain badges to get away with traffic offences in Malaysia.

Others pointed out that unlike Winnie, the driver was around the vicinity to attend to the vehicle

According to Harian Metro, DBKL will be following up on the incident

"We will have to follow up on this to see if the car was clamped by the council's traffic division or by those on duty hired by the parking concession operator under Yayasan Wilayah," said DBKL deputy enforcement director, Nasarudin Daharun.

Form 3 Student Who Died By Suicide Left Behind Letters For Her Family And Friends

A Form Three student has died by suicide after falling from an apartment block at Lebuh Sungai Pinang in George Town, Penang yesterday, 1 October

15-year-old Cheah Xin Hui was reported to have fallen from the 11th floor, where she was staying. According to New Straits Times, her body was found face down by a cleaner at about 8.45am.Northeast district police chief Assistant Commissioner Che Zaimani Che Awang later confirmed that the case has been classified as suicide, adding that the girl died due to serious head and chest injuries.

Che Zaimani revealed that the girl left behind four letters addressed to her family, friends, and classmates

"In her notes, the deceased asked her family and friends not to look for her anymore. She also said that she was disappointed in her family and the world. We believe family problems led to the girl’s death," the police chief said, as quoted by NST.

In a letter to her mother, Cheah apologised for leaving her heartbroken and angry. She also told her mother to not feel guilty as everything that has happened was her fault.

"After I leave (this world), you have to talk to him about getting a divorce. I don't want to see you cry because of him anymore," she wrote, allegedly referring to her stepfather.

In the rest of the letters, Cheah lamented that she has yet to fulfill her lifelong dream and thanked her classmates for their companionship

According to China Press, in a letter addressed to her classmates, Cheah thanked them for ten months of companionship and wished them happiness. Another letter singled out an unnamed friend, thanking them for taking care of her in the past ten months. In another letter quoted by NST, Cheah apologised for what she has done and mentioned that she has not achieved many things in life.

How Much Debt Is Too Much Debt For A Country — And How Is Malaysia Doing?

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

Malaysia's debt is currently the highest it has ever been. But what does this actually mean?

When governments spend more than what they earn, they run a 'fiscal deficit'. To fund this gap, the government will need to borrow money either domestically or internationally. This is what Malaysia has been embroiled in for the past two decades, with this year’s deficit being one of the largest since the country first gained independence.

"There is no running away from the RM1 trillion debt that we have incurred."

"Malaysia's income has been stagnant for the past five years, and expenditure has only increased," former second finance minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani stated in a recent interview for local TV station, TV3.The businessman raised this concern during a debate with PKR heavyweight Rafizi Ramli on the issue of Budget 2023. As interest rates rise, this will make the cost of repayments increase even further, which leads many people to wonder, will the country be able to pay off it's massive borrowings?

Image via Polina Tankilevitch/Pexels

Another worrying figure to keep an eye on in the foreseeable future is the debt service charges — the financing cost of borrowing —  is estimated to be 16.1% or RM46.1 billion in 2023 and will likely grow even further. This means that for every RM100 that the government earns in revenue, RM16.10 will be used to pay off the interest on its borrowings.

While it is clear that Malaysia needs to address its growing debt issues, how do we fare against other countries?

When we compare Malaysia's external debt figure of RM269 billion (USD56.7 billion) to Singapore’s SGD2.4 trillion (USD1.7 trillion), it paints a rosy picture. However, there is more to the story than this."If the money is used to facilitate investments that generate strong returns for the country, then it is a much better quality of debt as opposed to those used to fund operating expenses," Professor of Economics at Sunway University, Dr. Yeah Kim Leng tells SAYS.

Singapore's Ministry of Finance shared that the island nation's external debt stems from foreign investors who have deposited money into their banks. This money is then used by banks to fund projects around the world. Profits generated by such projects will then be taxed by the government, making it the main source of income for Singapore.We can see that having debt is not necessarily a bad thing, but this money must be used for development that will boost the economy in the long run. So what is Malaysia spending its money on? Based on the recent #Budget2023 figures, about 80% of expenses for next year are being used for ongoing costs of running the country, leaving only 20% for development activities.

Who is lending money to the government?

According to Bank Negara, 74% of its borrowings are domestic. This group consists mainly of banks, insurance companies, the EPF and KWAP.  These are all institutions that Malaysian citizens have placed their money in, so the government is essentially borrowing money from its own people.“No government should borrow money and pay interest on it --- because the government has the right to create the currency of the nation. In some instances this can be inflationary but still worth it because you make everyone bear the burden of the nation.” International Islamic University Malaysia professor, Prof. Dato' Dr. Ahamed Kameel Mydin Meera, told SAYS.

However, borrowing money domestically actually rewards the rich in the society while causing everyone else to bear the burden of recovery, says Meera. The academic added that borrowing money from external sources is even worse since we would need foreign reserves to service the debt.

So what can Malaysia do to manage its growing debt?

"There are two sides to this equation. The first being revenue, where the government needs to place more emphasis on the private sectors by providing with them more incentives and giving more opportunities for these emerging industries to flourish," Dr Yeah Kim Leng explained."The second is expenses, and the government will need to be more prudent with it’s spending and need to start giving out more targeted subsidies to make them more effective."The good thing is, Malaysia is in a much healthier position than countries like Sri Lanka. Over 98% of Malaysia's debt is in Ringgit, which makes it much easier for the government to manage as it is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency. With that being said, when money is borrowed, it will need to be repaid eventually. As expenditure continues to be on the rise, the government will need to be cautious about how it plans to facilitate this.

Why You Should Never Let Your Dog Lick Your Face

The ultimate display of affection — letting your dog slobber your face with its tongue — can actually put your health at risk

Image via Giphy

How come?

Because dog mouths are host to "an enormous oral microbiome of bacteria, viruses and yeast," according to Dr Neilanjan Nandi, an assistant professor of medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia.While a dog's saliva has proteins that may help cleanse or heal its own wounds, there are some organisms in the dog mouth that the human body simply cannot tolerate.

In fact, some bacteria in dogs' mouths are zoonotic, meaning a disease that exists in animals can be transmitted to humans

So is there any disease that can be passed from your dog to you?There are actually a number of illnesses that can be passed from dogs to humans. And gastrointestinal problems is one of the most common of such illnesses.In fact, it's not just gastrointestinal problems that dogs can spread among their owners.Dr Joseph Mosquera, chief medical officer and founder of a medical expert-run website, told Medical Daily that, "In my experience, I have seen a lot of skin and respiratory allergies, body funguses like ringworm, and transmission of lyme disease through a tick that jumps from a pet onto a human after being outside."Medical Daily quoted Dr Mary Beth Leininger, the associate vice president of Veterinary Relations at Hartville Pet Insurance Group, saying that dog mouths should be kept far away from human ones for precisely this reason."Because dogs frequently lick around the anus, they can harbour parasite eggs in the saliva," Leininger told Medical Daily, adding, "Should you allow your dog to lick your child's face? The short answer….no."

Image via Giphy

However, it doesn't mean you shouldn't let your dog lick you at all

"When dog saliva touches intact human skin, especially in a healthy person, it is extremely unlikely to cause any problems, as there will be very little absorption through the skin," Dr. Leni K. Kaplan, a lecturer of community practice service at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, told the New York Times.However, he warned that you should avoid letting your dog lick your nose, mouth and eyes, as a dog's saliva and pathogens can be absorbed more easily in these areas.And while illnesses transmitted this way are rare, it is best to avoid having your dog lick those parts of your face, adviced Dr Kaplan.

Even the former US President, Barack Obama, touched on the subject in an interview with Wired magazine back in August 2016

"I still don't let Sunny and Bo lick me, because when I walk them on the side lawn, some of the things I see them picking up and chewing on, I don't want that, man," Obama was quoted in the interview by Wired.

Image via Politico

Obama's concern is also shared by John Oxford, an expert in microbiology and a professor of virology at Queen Mary University of London, who says he would never let a dog lick his face

"It is not just what is carried in saliva," the New York Times quoted him as saying."Dogs spend half of their life with their noses in nasty corners or hovering over dog droppings so their muzzles are full of bacteria, viruses and germs of all sorts."

If you're still going to let your dog lick your face,  there are some steps/precautions you should practice to ensure your safety

			1. Avoid your dog letting you slobber your mouth.2. Don't let your dog lick you when he/she is sick.3. Keep your dog away from the faeces of other animals.4. Remember to wash your face afterwards.

"Big Car, Small Brain" — Porsche Owner Slammed For Parking At Petrol Pump To Order Food

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

Images of a Malaysian Porsche owner parking his car at a petrol pump as he went to get lunch recently went viral on Twitter

In the photos posted by @isusemasaviral, the luxury car owner can be seen walking into a fast-food restaurant and casually waiting for his order while his Porsche is parked at a petrol pump."This is what we call a Jerk. After he was done fueling his car, he locked his vehicle and went in to order food," the Tweet said.

Image via @isusemasaviral (Twitter)

Netizens were not amused by his actions and made it known in their tweets

"Just puncture his tyre since he wants to park there for so long," said a Twitter user.

Image via @isusemasaviral (Twitter)

Another user commented, "I do not want to say much, but why is it always the rich people who seem like they have no common sense?"

Image via @isusemasaviral (Twitter)

"I have always noticed this, and it is just like what people usually say. The ones who drive big or expensive cars typically have smaller brains," said another.

Apparently, this is a common occurrence for one netizen.

This Kopitiam Has A Fancy Numbering System To Keep Their Orders Organised

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

The raging pandemic and prolonged lockdowns have caused many restaurants and businesses to close shop.
However, Thong Kee Cafe has figured out how they can adapt to stay afloat during these trying times — by using a fancy queue system!

The 33-year-old kopitiam is no stranger to the locals who flock to the restaurant for a cup of kopi and roti bakar. They have come a long way since their first establishment in Bentong and have now branched out to Sri Hartamas, Sri Petaling, Puchong, Glenmarie, Kepong, Pandan Indah, and Sea Park.Thong Kee's experience and innovation has not only helped its business grow, but also survive the COVID-19 pandemic.

Image via Ryan Liew (Facebook)

Earlier this year, Thong Kee introduced a new system to organise their orders and dine-in management in order to comply with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) and ensure their customers are safe and happy

The numbering system which they refer to as the 'TK Queue System' is for dine-in, takeaway, and pick-up customers.These customers are separated by their respective order lanes and numbers so that the kopitiam does not get overcrowded and orders do not get mixed up. It also helps with maintaining social distancing and adhering to the COVID-19 SOPs.The TK Queue System requires dine-in customers to wait for an available table and they will be assigned to one with a ticket. The table will be locked for that particular customer and they should not be switching tables on their own without informing the staff for sanitary purposes and to prevent order mistakes.Takeaway customers may walk in through the express lane and queue up for their order there. A receipt number will be provided after the order is complete, and customers should wait in the designated takeaway area to be served accordingly.Meanwhile, the pick-up lane is for food delivery services such as GrabFood, foodpanda, and even ShopeeFood. However, Thong Kee went one step further and included their own in-house app for customers to order and pick-up without queuing up.

The fancy numbering system caught netizens' attention when a Facebook user shared a photo of the queue screen in Thong Kee's Pandan Indah branch

The post, which garnered 1,800 likes and 2,000 shares at the time of writing, received many praises from netizens.You can find out more about Thong Kee's new system from their website, Facebook, and Instagram.
