Singaporean PM Said No To A VIP Convoy And Hopped Onto A Bus Instead!

Singaporean PM Lee Hsien Loong is on a working visit in India and he has quickly made headlines for all the right reasons - he ditched a VIP convoy to ride on a bus!

Image via PTI

Lee arrived at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, India on Monday, 3 October for a five-day visit at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi. As the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee could have chosen to be escorted in an official entourage of official cars. Instead, the humble Singaporean PM decided to break tradition and opted to take a chartered bus to his hotel from the airport with his wife Ho Ching, a number of key ministers and senior officials who accompanied him on this trip.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) sang praises of the Singaporean PM

"It has been easier for us from the point of view of protocol and security to manage one bus instead of 20 cars in a cavalcade," an MEA official was quoted as saying. "This shows how humble and practical he is," the official added.

Many Indian citizens also lauded Lee for doing away with the VIP treatment

Needless to say, Singaporeans were very proud of their country's PM for taking the humble route, especially during such a high-profile occasion

PM Lee is pretty well known to be a rather simple and humble leader.
In November last year, he dined at a simple no-frills restaurant in Singapore's Little India with the Indian PM.

Lee and his wife, Ho Ching took Narendra Modi for a late dinner at Indian vegetarian restaurant Komala Vilas on Serangoon Road when the Indian premier was in Singapore for a two-day visit to mark 50 years of diplomatic ties between the two countries.They shared a good time over plain thosai, a vegetarian spread of idli (a rice cake consisting of fermented black lentils) and vadai (savoury fritters). Ho Ching also ordered onion and masala thosai for Modi and Lee to try. They also reportedly had traditional Indian drinks - sweet yoghurt lassi, mango lassi and lime juice - for their hearty meal.

Kudos to modest leaders like PM Lee for being such a good example!

Opposition Leaders Want Najib To "Lead By Example" Instead Of Cutting JPA Scholarships

Adenan Satem assures help to Sarawak students affected by the suspension of JPA Scholarships

Image via TMI

Posting on his Facebook page, the CM of Sarawak has assured help to Sarawak students affected by the suspension of JPA Scholarships.In the post, Adenan Satem wrote, "Yes, we will help the students. I have given instruction to Yayasan Sarawak to find ways and means how best to help them. The affected students are welcomed to present their petitions to the state government."

Wee Ka Siong hits out at news portal on JPA scholarship

Image via Malaysia Gazette

Be professional and stop fabricating stories, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has told a news portal.“Do not fabricate stories and do not make false allegations. I think they have gone overboard,” Dr Wee said after attending a business dialogue forum organised by the Secretariat for the Advancement of Malaysian Entrepreneurs (SAME) yesterday.He was referring to the new portal’s article titled “Wee now refuses to confirm JPA scholarships suspension”.“Since when did I confirm the announcement that PSD scholarships will be suspended by the government?” he asked.Dr Wee said the portal did not contact him to make a “simple clarification”, adding that he was saddened by the report.“Worse still, now they are saying Wee is blaming the media for distorting his word. I did not say anything to them,’’ he said.

        thestar.com.my

22 JAN: “I did not confirm JPA scholarships are suspended,” says Wee Ka Siong

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Wee Ka Siong

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong condemned the actions of a local news portal, saying that he had been misquoted in regards to the suspension of the Public Service Department (JPA) scholarships.“A report today claiming that I had confirmed that the 2016 Public Service Department (JPA) scholarships had been suspended is flatly inaccurate and baseless."“(The news portal) had neglected to contact me in order to perform a simple fact check for that article,” wrote the minister in a statement posted on his official Facebook page today.“I cannot be held responsible if my comments are distorted. I had not announced the suspension, nor did I confirm it."

        therakyatpost.com

Wee said he had merely raised this subject in this week’s Cabinet meeting following the complaints he received from bursary recipients who had yet to receive financial affidavits from JPA

"In response, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has immediately instructed the chief secretary to the government and the JPA to study and submit a report to the cabinet next week," he said.

        malaysiakini.com

“When news of JPA stopping scholarships was spread, it caused a panic,” he said after chairing the Malaysia Chinese Education Consultative Council at Wisma MCA yesterday.The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department reiterated that right now, only those who received the national bursary in 2014 were affected.Wee added the JPA had yet to make announcements on the matter.

        thestar.com.my

21 JAN: Bad news for high-achieving students. Public Service Department (JPA) scholarships and the Education Ministry's bursary for tertiary programmes have been suspended indefinitely due to the country's shrinking revenue.

Image via JPA

According to Sin Chew daily, JPA has ceased funding and halted the e-profiling system for degree and pre-university courses both locally and abroad, affecting some 700 scholarship placements this year. Putrajaya has been struggling with shrinking revenue in the past year as the Brent crude oil price hits a 12-year low at US$27.78 (RM121.55) per barrel. In 2014, the price of crude oil was set at US$114.81 (RM502.35). PM Najib Razak has also announced that Budget 2016 will be revised to adjust for falling revenue in a bid to optimise government optimised.

Confirming the move, Minister in the PM's Department Wee Ka Siong said he has appealed against the suspension and urged Najib to reconsider the decision at a Cabinet meeting after receiving complaints from high-achieving students

Image via The Rakyat Post

Wee urged for an urgent resolution to the matter, as some universities commence their intake as early as 1 February. He added that Najib has asked the chief secretary and JPA to submit a report with alternative solutions within a week.

"The prime minister understands that the economy is not good at the moment and the people are facing heavy burden so he has instructed the chief secretary to the government and JPA to come up with a new solution."

        malaysiakini.com

“I don't dare to say that there will certainly be a turn for the better, but we have already done all we can to give a full account, because we don't know how the economy will change,” Wee was quoted telling the Chinese vernacular newspaper.

        themalaymailonline.com

Meanwhile, DAP's Anthony Loke demanded answers from the government in regards to the suspension, as the 2016 budget allocation for JPA scholarships have already been reduced from the previous year's

Image via The Malay Mail Online

The Seremban MP noted that according to Budget 2016, RM1.65 billion was allocated for JPA allocations, which is a 14% reduction from 2015's RM1.93 billion. He also pointed out that the discrepancy between a government report and Sin Chew Daily's article, stating that the 2016 Estimated Federal Expenditure had pegged 11,604 students to receive first degree scholarships from JPA while Sin Chew only highlighted that 700 students will be affected.

"The government needs to explain whether this decision to stop scholarships, as reported, would be overall and involving all students or just the 700 who are affected?” he said in a statement today. He further asked the government to explain why it was just these 700 who would be “victimised”.

        therakyatpost.com

“We urge the prime minister to rescind this decision and give government's full commitment that none of the excellent students who were offered scholarships this year would be sacrificed in the process of the Budget revision. "Although falling oil prices has affected government revenue, savings and spending priority are decisions that can be made by the prime minister who is also the finance minister,” he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Loke also suggested that Najib "lead by example" by reducing allocations under the Prime Minister's Department if cutbacks were needed instead of targetting potential JPA scholars, especially those from lower income families

Loke said among those that could be cut are: restructuring of society (RM750 million); development program me (RM610 million); electronic government project (754.4 million); special project (RM309.4 million); people centric project (RM1.33 billion), adding that all this accumulated to RM3.75 billion.“The five examples here under the Prime Minister's Department alone amount to RM3.75 billion. If every listed category is cut by 50%, it would be enough to maintain the JPA scholarships allocated for 2016,” he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

PKR's Rafizi Ramli later pointed out that this is not the first nor only time the government has cut out from allocations for scholarships and study grants. He also chided Najib for the underhanded way the matter was handled as the public only found out about the suspension when it was reported.

Image via The Malaysian Insider

In Budget 2016, Rafizi said, the allocation for scholarships and bursaries had also been cut, while the funding for the Poor Students Trust Fund had been reduced from RM200 million to RM10 million.  Rafizi said the fact that the people only found out about the JPA scholarship suspension through news, initially reported only in the Chinese newspapers, shows that Najib does not dare to face the rakyat to explain such decisions.  The approach that Najib is taking in Budget 2016 is becoming clearer, he argued, saying that the prime minister would rather cut spending on the people than spending on projects that involve the interests of his cronies.

#SiBodohKauDengarSini Trends As Netizens Debate About Eateries Closing Too Early

Netizens frustrated with restaurants and eateries closing too early during the Movement Control Order (MCO) have sent the hashtag #SiBodohKauDengarSini trending on Twitter

The issue arose as food outlets are only allowed to operate from 11am to 8pm daily for the two-week MCO from 13 January to 26 January.The earlier closing time means people have to pick-up takeaway orders before 7.30pm, while food delivery services take last orders by 7pm.

Image via Bernama/New Straits Times

The matter started to a small Twitter spat between three users

On Sunday, 17 January, someone lamented that they had missed dinner two days in a row because their delivery orders fell through and they had no other options left for food.It was met with a reply, which called them to not make a fuss and to simply order their food earlier, which can be reheated for dinner.The indifferent response prompted anger from a third Twitter user, who went on a rant to explain why the issue was not as simple as that."Si bodoh, kau dengar sini (Listen here, you idiot)," they began."Due to the shorter operating hours, the whole of Malaysia will be ordering around the same time. Do you know how many times our delivery apps hang because of this? We already don't have time to cook because we come back late from work but now have to put up with this," they wrote."The government is asking the people to find a way around, but why can't they just extend the operating hours? Aren't these short hours also making life difficult for the ones who prepare our food?" they questioned.

si bodoh, kau dengar sini. dengan business hour from 11-8pm tu seluruh rakyat malaysia ni order in between that time only tau. kau tau tak sampai hang machine foodpanda/grab tu? orang balik kerja takde masa nak masak sebab awal pagi esok dah kena pergi kerja balik—  (@yarafaee_) January 17, 2021

Amused with the passionate reply, other Malaysian Twitter users began using the hashtag #SiBodohKauDengarSini to highlight their similar woes on social media

"My husband had to rush back home to buy dinner just now. He made it at 7.30pm but all the restaurants were closed anyway. The restaurant rations food so that there will not be any leftovers by the time they close at 8pm," someone Tweeted using the hashtag.

Husband had to rush back home to buy dinner just now. He made it at 730pm, but all the restaurants were closed anyway, because they ration food so that there won't be leftovers when they have to close at 8pm. #SiBodohKauDengarSini— Kash (@Kashalia26) January 18, 2021

Another Twitter user agreed, saying, "Closing restaurants at 8pm is not a good idea. I mean, let restaurants be open until at least 10pm or 11pm. But do not allow dine in. Only takeaway. Isn't that easy?"

Hahahaha this hashtag i cannot. But I Stan with the netizen. Closing restaurants at 8pm is not a good idea. I mean let restaurants be open til Atleast 10pm or 11pm but DO NOT LET TO DINE IN. Only take away. Kan senangg #SiBodohKauDengarSini— kabs (@kabs96) January 18, 2021

The hashtag has since amassed over 66,000 Tweets, and as of writing, is still trending on Malaysian Twitter

"The power of the Malaysian people on Twitterjaya. #SiBodohKauDengarSini is still trending at number one in Malaysia," observed a netizen."Never mess with Malaysians when it involves food and when they are hungry. Let food businesses operate until 10pm!"

Meanwhile, the phrase has gone on to be used in other contexts and has quickly achieved honorary meme status

10 Most Shocking Facts About Facebook

#10 Why Facebook is all blue in color (click on image)

"Blue is the richest color for me. I can see all of blue," Zuckerberg told in an interview with New Yorker reporter Jose Antonio Vargas. Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind, so blue is the easiest color for him to see. Additionally, Facebook has always been pretty monochromatic since from the beginning he has wanted the site to remain as simple as possible. But this didn’t prevent it from being world’s largest social networking site with over a billion users. (Source: Washington Post)

#9 A place to walk out on your love

Over 25 percent of users have already been dumped via Facebook. In June 2010, a survey of 1,000 Facebook users, 70 percent of whom were male, found that 25 percent had been "dumped" via Facebook. And twenty-one percent of those surveyed said they would end a relationship by changing their Facebook relationship statuses to "single."

It is too shocking how easy a platform the Facebook has become where you can dump someone by just changing your relationship status from ‘committed’ to ‘single.’ (Source: ODDEE)

#8 Iceland used Facebook to rewrite its constitution!

In 2011, Iceland finally took on the task of rewriting its constitution after following Danish constitution by making minor changes. In the process government took help of the most popular social media in the country: Facebook (The other social medias like Twitter, Flickr and YouTube were also used).

Two thirds of Iceland's population (approximately 320,000) is on Facebook, so the constitutional council used Facebook to rewrite its constitution where citizens could use the social network to make their own suggestions, engage in online debates, or follow the proceedings in real-time.

#4 Adding number 4 to the end of Facebook’s URL will automatically direct you to Mark Zuckerberg’s wall

If you add number 4 to the end of Facebook’s URL, it will automatically direct you to its founder’s wall page. Why Zuckerberg chose 4 instead of 1 is unknown but if you add the numerals like 5 and 6, it will direct you to the other co-founders, Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz.

Bukit Mertajam MP Helps A Couple Who Were Sleeping On Footpath

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Editor's note: The story has been updated with more details from MP Steven Sim.

A couple from Kelantan, who recently moved to Penang to make a living, were forced to sleep by the roadside near Taman Bidara, Bukit Mertajam, after failing to find a job amidst the movement control order

The husband and wife had been sleeping on the footpath for three nights with no access to food due to MCO being implemented, according to Bukit Mertajam Member of Parliament (MP) Steven Sim Chee Keong.In posts made on his Facebook and Twitter earlier this morning, 29 May, the Bukit Mertajam MP noted that he received information about the couple through members of the public.

Dapat info daripada penduduk setempat ada satu pasangan suami isteri yang tiada rumah dan tidur di atas jalan dekat Taman Bidara, Bukit Mertajam. Mengikut orang di sana, mereka sudah 3 hari hidup dalam keadaan begini, makan tak cukup, tidur berbumbungkan langit. :( pic.twitter.com/5rw0RFhmWL— Steven Sim  #Bangsa (@scheekeong) May 28, 2021

Sim said that after learning about the couple's situation, he wasn't willing to let them sleep on the footpath for even a second anymore

According to him, the couple would rummage through garbage to look for items to sell during the day and had been sleeping on the footpath at night.Last night, following Sim's help, the couple were boarded at a hotel."Shah and Siti, your suffering is over. Tonight, sleep well in the hotel. Tomorrow we start a new life," wrote Sim, who has been helping the vulnerable people of the society amidst the MCO.

For now, the Bukit Mertajam MP has arranged for a house for the couple to stay along with essential supplies to last them till they find a job

Late last month, a controverial academic's attempts to inflame racial tensions by accusing the Bukit Mertajam MP of having an ulterior motive against Muslims had caused troubles for a foodpanda rider:

From Sarawak's Rainforest To The Netherlands: Penan Women's Handmade Bags Are Going Places

Eviction, death threats, and rape. News of illegal logging and sexual assault have become synonymous with the Penan people.

Image via Maria Stenzel/National Geographic

As one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in Southeast Asia, the Penan community can traditionally be found living in the deep interiors of the Sarawak rainforest. Today, there are around 11,000 Penans and most live in settled communities, while only around 300 of them still lead the nomadic lifestyle. Known for their gentle manner and equality between the sexes, the Penan people, for most parts, rely on the forest which acts as their home and source of food.

Being simple people with a deep respect for nature and not believing in taking more than they need, the Penans put little emphasis on material ownership. Destroying the forests to make way for development has greatly affected these people.

Realising the fact that they're indeed losing their homes and lands, and in their efforts to keep up with the changing times, a large number of Penan people are starting to relocate closer to town areas, in order for their children to receive education, that has the potential to alleviate their troubles in the future. Unfortunately, things have been difficult for the Penans, with most schools located hours away from their settlements. An article on the plight of the Penan people on Bruneions highlighted that some have even resorted to living in squatter areas - in makeshift houses made out of tree stems and plastic sheets. On top of that, they hardly have the basic necessities needed to survive in an urban setting, given the fact that their core values have always been focused on sharing instead of amassing personal wealth.

They do, however, have one particularly marketable skill - weaving. The Penan women have been making beautiful rattan baskets and bags called keva for centuries now.

Being part of a nomadic tribe, the Penans would move from one place to another, and using these hardy bags became the most convenient way to carry their belongings. The men would typically bring it along when they go hunting and the women would use it when they collect sago, fern, and tapioca. Other than making bags, the women also weave colourful, intricately designed rattan mats and bracelets. According to Picnic With The Penan, a blog that's dedicated to all things Penan, the rattan bags and mats are usually made from wild jungle rattan that are stripped, smoothed, and treated with the sap of a plant and buried overnight in the mud for colouring. Only then are they transformed into uniquely beautiful designs to make the bags and mats, using ancient weaving techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. These items are not only a representation of their rich culture and past, but they're also practical objects that can still be used in our daily lives.

In comes Helping Hands Penan (HHP), a Brunei-based NGO whose aim is to help and empower the Penan women in Sarawak. They help the women sell their crafts to raise funds that are later used for the education of the Penan kids.

Founded by a group of expat wives about eight years ago, the initiative picked up in the past couple of years, gathering a network of volunteers across East and West Malaysia in places like Miri, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru. The organisation was officially registered as an NGO in Malaysia on 12 February 2016. A few months later, they started a committee for the "Sponsor A Child Education Programme".  If you're interested to sponsor a child or learn more about this programme, get in touch with one of the members of the committee via their official Facebook page, HelpingHands Penan Sponsor A Child. "Our mission is to empower the Penan women to help themselves and their family. We are here to support the Penan in their new ways to settle, but primarily to support the Penan kids to get education by creating an environment that encourages them to start and continue their education." HHP's main focus right now is to educate the Penan children from pre-school level all the way to ensuring that they go through tertiary education. "We aim that one day, every Penan child can go to school."

To better market the products, HHP added a modern twist to the plain rattan items by introducing durable, vibrantly-coloured plastic as an alternative raw material

Explaining the move, Penan Bags, the online store that sells the crafts supplied by HHP, said that it was due to high costs and difficulty in obtaining the raw materials.  As a solution to that, HHP started supplying the Penan women with PVC fiber to make the bags and mats.  Penan Bags assures that customers are very satisfied with the quality of the bags. "Customers have related their stories of how well the bags last and how durable they have been despite regular and heavy usage! Since they are plastic, they can be easily washed, and don't rot. The colours also stay vibrant for a very long time!" As of now, the online store only delivers the bags to West Malaysia as they're trying to focus on the domestic market. It was stressed that more than two third of the price customers pay for the items goes to the Penan community, while the remaining goes to the logistics and delivery of the items.

Guess what's the coolest part about this? Most of the bags and baskets are almost completely unique and different from the other. So, if you're a fan of owning one-of-a-kind bags, this would be perfect!

The bags and baskets have gone through a few design improvements over the years and they're are a major hit now, even in the Netherlands! Nikkei Asian Review spoke to a French teacher, Isabelle Stevens, who moved there recently. She used to be a volunteer with HHP."Here in Holland, they are crazy about the white bags and the mono-coloured ones," she said, adding that the response for the bags have been so good to the point that she is trying to register a business there to start importing the bags.

In just the past year, an estimated number amounting to more than 10,000 bags weaved by Penan women have been sold

It was reported that the number of weavers have also increased, with around 200 women across various villages in Sarawak.The price for the bags usually range from RM30 to RM120, depending on the size and design. Not only are the Penan women becoming more confident and financially independent, but this project has also propelled some of them to start small businesses to market their own products. "They need to feel proud of themselves and do something to break the cycle of poverty," said Shida Mojet, one of the HHP members, when commenting on the initiative.

Other than using the profits from the handmade bags, HHP also raises funds via several initiatives to help the Penan community, including:

• Sales of non-Penan crafts like ethnic earrings. • Sales of greeting cards with photos donated from professional photographers. • Collection of donation in the form of food and second-hand items. HHP also has another ongoing initiative which is, 'Project Light'. "We aim to light up as many Penan settlements as possible. Each set of solar light is RM400, which could light up a whole house."

Here Are 8 Fun Facts About The Year Of The Rat According To Ancient Chinese Mythology

1. Although rats aren’t commonly perceived as the most lovable animal, the rat ranks first in the Chinese zodiac cycle

Image via Pinterest

According to a well-known Chinese legend, the Jade Emperor invited the entire animal kingdom to participate in a Great Race, in which the first twelve animals to cross the finishing line would be selected as the zodiac calendar animals.On the day of the race, the rat ran as fast as it could but soon noticed the ox was way ahead. In the attempt to place first, the quick-witted rat tricked the ox into giving him a ride across the river. Both arrived first, but the rat slyly jumped down before the ox could cross the finish line. And that, folks, is a recap on how the rat cunningly won the race and became the first of the zodiac animals.

2. This 2020, we are not only entering a new decade but are also re-starting the zodiac cycle!

Image via Ancient Origins

The last time the rat made an appearance on the Chinese calendar was 12 years ago in 2008. This knowledge isn't surprising as all the animals are on a 12-year rotation. However, most people are unaware that the cycle would start afresh this CNY!

3. The rat also starred in alternate Chinese legends regarding the origin of the world

Image via Stream Community

There are other legends besides the Great Race zodiac story that speculate why the rat ranks above the other eleven animals in the Chinese calendar.In one Chinese myth, the universe was pure darkness in the beginning, and it took on the form of an egg. The rat supposedly bit off a crack of the universe to let in the air, resulting in the separation of the heavens and earth, thus starting the world.

4. In Chinese culture, those born in the Year of the Rat are generally thought to be industrious, thrifty, and diligent

Image via Giphy

People born in the Year of the Rat are said to possess characteristics associated with rats, which are: social, creative, intelligent, honest, ambitious, and generous.No doubt, they might also be considered shrewd due to the rat's role in the Chinese zodiac story!

5. There are five types of rats in the Chinese Element Theory

Image via Kinesiology

You may know of the five elemental spirits in Frozen 2's Enchanted Forest, but did you know that there are also five elements in the Chinese Element Theories? Known as Wu Xing, these include Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire, and the rats for each element possess separate characteristics.

6. 2020 is the year of the Yang Metal Rat

Image via Freepik

In terms of Yin and Yang, the Rat falls under the Yang category and represents the beginning of a new day.Those born in 2020 are said to be positive, confident, intelligent, talented, and loyal. They are also possessive, easily jealous, quick-tempered, and stubborn. That being said, if anyone in your family is expecting this golden New Year, why not share these predictions with them to spark some laughter around the dinner table!

7. The Rat’s most compatible Chinese zodiac signs are the Monkey, Ox, and Dragon

Image via Pinterest

They also apparently make the worst matches with the Horse and Rooster signs, so let your matchmaker aunties know before it's too late!

8. Rats were believed to be a sign of wealth and surplus

Image via I Curate You

Because of their high reproduction rate, ancient Chinese culture believed rats are a lucky symbol of fertility. Because of this, married couples with difficulty conceiving used to pray to rats for children!

Vincent Tan's Berjaya Group Wants To Build A New Airport In Tioman With Their Own Funds

Business magnate Tan Sri Vincent Tan has reportedly offered a proposal to build a new airport in Pulau Tioman

Image via Christopher Lee/Getty Images

It was reported by The Edge Markets that Tan, who is the group executive chairman of Berjaya Group, had submitted a proposal to the government on Thursday, 7 June. New Straits Times (NST) added that the airport will help boost tourism in the island off the coast of Pahang.

The project was estimated to cost around RM1.2 billion

Malay Mail quoted Tan as saying that the project will be financed from Berjaya Group's internal funds and borrowings. "We are looking for an infrastructure project and will propose to the government. We want to finance the project ourselves with loans from banks. We won’t burden the government."We are looking at the Tioman Airport project. We understand the country’s finances are not in the best shape now. We are willing to work with partners, to privatise and finance it, but the government can arrange it," he said as reported by the English daily.

The Malay Mail report also noted that Berjaya Group had previously arranged flights to the island until 2014

Image via D Asia Travels

It halted operations after Malaysia suffered two major aviation incidents including MH370. There had been plans to extend the airport runway at the diving hotspot a decade ago, but it was scrapped by then-transport minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat due to environmental concerns, as told by Malay Mail. The airport project was later revived late last year under the BN-led federal government.

According to NST, the existing airport on Tioman, located next to Kampung Tekek, handled chartered flights which could carry about 12 passengers at any one time

Chicken Satay & Indomie Macarons! This Chef Makes Asian Desserts That Are Super Weird

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

Gunawan Wu, an Indonesia chef, recently garnered quite a bit of attention on Facebook for his chicken satay flavoured macarons

Wait, what?

Chicken flavoured macaron shell and satay sauce buttercream filling.

The award-winning chef was born and raised in Indonesia and moved to Australia to start his career as a pastry chef.Now, he is working as a pastry chef consultant, and a chef instructor in a cooking school. He is also the ambassador for Nestlé Professional Australia Chocolate, and Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener.

Surprised by the unlikely combination, we reached out to Gunawan who told us the reason behind his quirky innovation

"When I first started my career in Australia, in 2013, I heard many people complain about how sweet macarons can be," he told SAYS. "Then I thought of Chinese cuisine, which has a sweet element in their savoury dish e.g. sweet and sour chicken, sweet and spicy beef, and so on. So I thought, why can't I do that with macarons?"Because the macaron shell is sweet, Gunawan infuses the savoury element in the filling to balance out the taste.

Gunawan has also created a myriad of unique macaron flavours, giving it an unlikely Asian twist

Some of them are nachos macaron with tomato salsa ganache, Indomie goreng macaron, Kikkoman soy sauce macaron, pork floss with Kewpie mayo macaron, fried chicken macaron, and many more.

When asked why he uses the Asian twist, Gunawan said it was because he was familiar with the flavour."I grew up with [these dishes] so it's easier for me to imagine how the flavours will work on it," he told SAYS.

Fried chicken macaron.
Image via @awi_wu (Instagram)

He first experimented with tom yum flavoured macarons at the Dilmah High Tea Competition in 2013 and the Savour Patissier Of The Year in 2016

He also served his savoury-sweet macarons in a restaurant as 'palate transition', to get the customers' palate ready before the dessert and after the main course. Gunawan said their reaction was disbelief at first, but they enjoyed it after taking the first bite. Since then, more customers flocked to the restaurant to try Gunawan's eccentric macarons."I then did a charity event this year, and was sold out for all the unique flavoured macarons. And people's reactions were of amazement, and they kept asking me when am I going to open my own dessert shop," he said.

According to Gunawan, his Indomie goreng macarons are the best seller and the one that everyone is most familiar with since it's a common dish. "The combination of the sweet and salty works like magic!" he added.

He told SAYS that he has plans to dish up more funky flavours such as nasi goreng macarons and fish-head curry macarons

“It Was A Nightmare” — 2 People Suffer From Broken Legs As Lift Drops From 8th Floor

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

Six individuals, including a two-year-old girl, were trapped inside a lift at a condominium in Lengkok Thamby Abdullah, Brickfields, when it plunged down from the eighth floor on Friday, 14 October

11 firefighters from the Hang Tuah Fire and Rescue station rushed to the scene when they received an emergency call regarding the incident at 9.52pm, reported Bernama.

Two victims, a man and a woman, broke their legs when the lift crashed to the ground floor

The two victims were sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital to receive treatment for their injuries."The rescue operation ended at 11.35pm and the cause of the incident is still under investigation," said the Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department in a statement released on Saturday, 15 October.

Residents of the condominium said the event was a nightmare

A resident who did not want to be identified said that this was the first time something like this had happened in the building since the 70s, reported New Straits Times.The resident added that the lift would get stuck every now and then, but this incident caught everyone off guard because they had not expected it to happen."We (the residents) have never failed to pay the monthly maintenance fees. However, the incident seemed likely due to a failure during the lift inspection. We hope the responsible party will conduct a detailed inspection to avoid a recurrence," said the resident.

In 2020, a man was trapped and crushed to death by a falling lift at an apartment in Putrajaya:

                36-Year-Old Man Dies After Being Crushed By A Falling Lift In Putrajaya

It took a fire and rescue team half an hour to remove the trapped victim.

Cops Arrest A Woman For Posting That PM Muhyiddin Is Using COVID-19 To Stay In Power

The Royal Malaysia Police has arrested a woman for her Facebook comments that were deemed "seditious in nature" with a potential to disrupt the peace of the country amidst the COVID-19 pandemic

In a media statement today, 12 April, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Huzir Mohamed said that they arrested the 48-year-old Chinese woman yesterday, 11 April."The gadget used to upload the statements were also seized and investigations are ongoing," Huzir said.According to the statement, the woman's Facebook comments were "seditious in nature" and were attempting to humiliate the Malaysian government amidst the current crisis caused by COVID-19.

PDRM has publicly shared the screenshots of the comments

In one, the woman wrote that Malaysia is being "hijacked" by military force, alleging that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is abusing his power during COVID-19 to stay in power.In another, she wrote that the reason Chinese people call Malays babi is that they are angry with them "for cheating them" through not paying back debts, causing them to go bankrupt.

The screenshots were uploaded on the official Facebook page of PDRM along with the media statement.

The Facebook account belongs to a 'Wendy Shoo Wai Ching' and the case is being investigated under Section 4(1)(a) of the Sedition Act

"On 9 April, an investigation was conducted a Facebook account holder that goes by the name 'Wendy Shoo Wai Ching', who uploaded a seditious and potentially disruptive statement," CID director Huzir said.The Section 4 of the Sedition Act specifies that anyone who "does or attempts to do, or makes any preparation to do, or conspires with any person to do" an act with seditious tendencies, such as uttering seditious words, or printing, publishing or importing seditious literature, is guilty of sedition."The charge carries, for a first offence, a maximum fine of RM5,000 or three years' imprisonment or both, if found guilty. For a subsequent offence, the person can be jailed for a term not exceeding five years.

The woman is also being investigated under two additional charges

"The investigation is classified under Section 504 of the Penal Code, which is the "intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace" and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998 which is the improper use of network facilities or network services," read the statement.While Section 504 of the Penal Code carries a maximum of two years' imprisonment, Section 233 of the CMA 1998 carries a maximum fine of RM50,00 or one years' imprisonment or to both.

Meanwhile, Huzir has urged the public to practice caution

He said that police will not compromise when it comes to people making, producing or distributing statements or rumours that are seditious in nature and can disrupt the public order.

On the other hand, the JPM has now defined news that is critical and "instils hatred towards the ruling government" as fake news:

A BMW Driver Walked Away With A Full Tank Of Petrol For SGD10. Here's All You Need To Know

On 14 April, an elderly pump attendant working at a Caltex petrol kiosk in Tampines, Singapore was accused by a customer for mistakenly refilling a full tank of petrol for his BMW

The customer and the BMW he was driving.
Image via Kelly Yeo/Facebook

A witness to the incident wrote in a Facebook post that the customer insisted he told the pump attendant to only refill SGD10 (approximately RM30) worth of petrol instead of a full tank. A full tank of petrol costs about SGD135, which is almost RM400. Although the pump attendant had agreed to pay for the outstanding SGD125, the witness pleaded to Caltex Singapore to "alleviate the financial obligation" off the attendant.

Here's what we know so far:

The elderly pump attendant, believed to be in his 60s, agreed to absorb the remaining SGD125 without arguing with the customer

According to the witness, the attendant calmly informed the cashier to receive only SGD10 from the customer. The witness also alleged that the customer left the petrol kiosk "smugly" after paying only SGD10 for a full tank of petrol for his BMW Series 5.

China Press reported that the attendant heard the customer asking for a "full tank", but the customer insisted that he said "fuel ten"

According to the report, netizens revealed that this wasn't the first time the customer had used the same tactic at petrol kiosks to get full tanks of petrol for SGD10.One netizen wrote that he had seen the customer using the same trick at other petrol kiosks, while another netizen alleged that the customer has been paying only SGD10 for petrol by making "fuel ten" sound like "full tank".

Image via China Press

In response to the incident, Caltex Singapore released a statement and announced that the elderly attendant will not be charged with the outstanding SGD125

In the statement, Caltex also wrote that they are investigating the incident together with the manager of the station involved.The company also encouraged netizens to refrain from attacking the BMW driver.

The attendant was back on duty at the petrol kiosk the day after the incident happened

Mothership reported that a visitor to the Tampines station said the elderly attendant is "happy and well".

The incident happened two weeks after a Channel NewsAsia (CNA) feature on the plight of another elderly pump attendant in Singapore

77-year-old Mohamed Yasin warned that lorries might drive off after filling up SGD200 worth of petrol.
Image via Channel NewsAsia

The feature revealed that an elderly pump attendant gets just over SGD1,000 per month in salary, even with benefits included.The 77-year-old attendant in the CNA video stated that "oil thieves" in Singapore drive off after filling up SGD200 worth of petrol.The witness who reported the incident to Caltex Singapore also wrote that the salary of a pump attendant in Singapore is about SGD1,600 per month. Paying SGD125 to cover for the customer's tank of petrol would have taken 8% away from the elderly attendant's pay.

Last month, a man almost set his friend on fire in Ipoh after a petrol nozzle suddenly burst into flames:

Its filling is made of premium ingredients such as cordyceps, ginseng, saffron, royal jelly, molasses, lotus seed, jujube, longan and other Chinese herbs.It even contains 24K edible gold! The 'skin' of the mooncake is made of highly nutritious (and expensive) bird's nest that was chosen to retain all the essence and nutritional values of the fillings.The mooncake also does not have any preservatives.

What The Bark? Study Shows Men's Beards Carry More Harmful Bacteria Than Dogs

Bad news for our bearded brethren!
According to a recent study by Swiss scientists, it is more likely for men's facial hair to pose a potential health hazard compared to the fur of dogs.

Professor Andreas Gutzeit from Switzerland's Hirslanden Clinic revealed that, "The researchers found a significantly higher bacterial load in specimens taken from the men's beards compared with the dogs' fur," New York Post reported.

The study sought out to determine whether humans could contract dog-borne diseases using an MRI scanner shared by veterinarians

By taking swabs from the scruff of 18 men and the necks of 30 canines of various breeds, the researchers found that all of the bearded men, who were aged between 18 to 76, had high microbial counts.Seven of the men tested positive for microbes that actually posed a threat to human health.

In contrast, only 23 of the 30 dogs showed similarly high microbial presence.

"On the basis of these findings, dogs can be considered clean compared with bearded men," says Gutzeit

Scientists also wiped down the MRI scanner after examining the dogs, and found a "significantly" lower bacteria count compared with levels after human use, The Guardian.

JPJ To Drivers: Failure To Update Change Of Address In 2 Months Is An Offence

On Thursday, 7 June, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) posted a directive on Facebook, ordering drivers and vehicle owners to update their mailing address with the department

JPJ said the order is based on sub-section 58A (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. The sub-section requires every vehicle owner or driver's license holder that changes address to inform the department within two months of the change.

Failure to do so, or giving an incomplete or wrong address, is an offence, according to JPJ

Thus, the department is advising the public to update their address as soon as possible at any state JPJ branches and Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) locations nationwide for free. Those with a mySIKAP ID can make updates online without being physically present at a JPJ office. mySIKAP was set up in 2013 as a convenient one-stop online platform for vehicle owners and driver's license holders to attend to all matters related to JPJ.

Image via Hnin Wai Wai Moe Facebook

Yep, we've graduated from whacking cockroaches with slippers to straight up putting them on faces

As far as we can tell, the so-called "Cockroach Challenge" may have originated from Burmese teen Alex Yung. His Facebook post, showing a cockroach resting on his cheek, has been shared over 18,000 times at the time of writing.

This App Is For Anyone Who Would Rather Plan Their Own Trips Than Join Tour Groups

The Internet has helped made travelling more accessible than ever before, with great deals for flights and hotels. However, planning out the holiday itself still remains a tedious process.

If you opt for a travel agency, chances are you'll be having the same experience identical to other tourists, and that can get pretty boring at times

Alternatively, you could do things your way - create a personalised travel itinerary that caters to your needs. But that could be a time-consuming process as it requires you to scour through the Internet hours on end for fun things to do.

A central feature on Touristly is its trip planner that allows travellers to organize their holiday in their own customised trip itinerary by taking advantage of the thousands of curated experiences available on the platform. Touristly's trip planner serves as a personal concierge that gives travellers the power to effectively become their own travel agent and create unique itineraries that they can book immediately on the platform.

Touristly does not sell any travel packages, rather, it acts as a curator by helping you search through different restaurants, spas or other places of attraction in a particular country of region

The service is currently available in Asia and Australia.

To test out the service, we've created a dummy holiday trip in Singapore, our friendly neighbours across the causeway

Like any other web service, you are required to register for an account. Pretty straightforward there.

Once you've selected the country of your choice, you can put in the duration of your trip. As Touristly has its own community, you're encouraged to share your trip with other users.

You could check the 'Private' box if you're not that keen on sharing.

You'll be taken to the main page where a map of Singapore will be shown to you with your itinerary box on the left

We like how the background changes with the chosen destination. In this case, the gorgeous Marina Bay Sands shines through!

Scroll down and you'll see a variety of activities, ranging from restaurant hopping to a fun day at the zoo

Prices are all in RM, so you don't have worry about the crazy 2.8 conversion rate.

We really appreciate the vast amount of info here, but it could do with more photos.

Once you've added your preferred activities, proceed to check out

You could opt to pay with credit or debit card or through local bank transfer. Once in a while, Touristly will have promo codes that offers up to 30% discount.

That's about it! The site is pretty straightforward and easy to use.

Not much complications compared to many travel planners, considering the two-step checkout process.   However, we felt that the info section of each activity could do away with the long descriptions, as a traveller on-the-go, visual appeal definitely strikes a more lasting impression.
