Guy Finds Car Bonnet Missing And Battery Unplugged From His Parked Myvi At PJ Condo

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

A Malaysian recently shared how his car was damaged and appeared to have almost been stolen while parked at his condominium in Damansara, Petaling Jaya

At 9am on Monday, 5 July, Fazri Mustafa revealed that he was heading to his car that was parked near the lobby of his condominium in Damansara. However, as he was walking, he noticed that the remote control was not working.Just as he approached his Myvi, he found that the front bonnet and bumper were completely ripped off and nowhere to be found.

He also noticed that his car battery was unplugged, there were scratch marks on the driver's handle, and damage on his steering wheel

Speaking to SAYS, the 30-year-old shares that his Myvi model comes with an in-built steering lock feature, which he presumes that thieves were trying to unlock and instead ended up causing damage. He also explains that the car alarm would have been ringing, as when he plugged it back, the alarm began to immediately ring loudly.

Fazri explains that he made a police report. However, he said that they were not helpful, as all they did was take a photo and leave without questioning the management.

On top of that, he asked the management if anything can be done to cover the damage costs. Instead, he was told that "it's parking at your own risk".

According to him, the management also said that the guards make rounds every hour, so to dismantle his bonnet, bumper, break into the car, and try to disable the steering lock "would have taken at least an hour". Unfortunately, Fazri says that the closed-circuit television (CCTV) only covers the lobby area and not the entire parking lot, so he is unable to check what happened."I just can't accept park at your own risk since we pay the maintenance fees and it is their job to keep the parking safe," he laments.

Fazri hopes this experience will serve as caution for others to look out for their vehicles, more so during this time

Despite taking all the necessary prevention measures by locking his vehicle and parking it properly, he said that this unfortunate incident still occurred. "Luckily I didn't have any valuables in the car," he adds.


'Kedekut' Malaysians Confess The Shameless Things They Do To Save Money

Let's face it. Many Malaysians are definitely feeling the pinch when it comes to paying for their daily necessities.

Hence, it's no surprise that some have gotten desperate enough to resort to more "creative" ways to save a few ringgit in these tough times:

1. "I use my student card to get discounts for movie tickets, clothes, karaoke sessions... basically wherever with student discounts. But I'm no longer a student. Heh."

"You see, my student card from college has no expiry date, so I kept using it even after I graduated in 2011. It's not like they're gonna call up your college to verify if you're still a student, so I'm gonna keep using it for as long as I can.Some student discounts are only available on weekdays, like clothing stores and cinemas, but you can still use it to get student prices for stuff like Happy Hour at RedBox, Seoul Garden, MPO tickets, and so on."- Sarah

2. "When your lecturer says you 'need' to buy a specific textbook, don't. Look for a PDF online... or borrow from the library and photostat."

"College textbooks are SO EXPENSIVE and 99.9% of the time, you end up spending RM150 (or more) for a book you're never gonna use. At most, you probably only needed to refer to one or two pages of the book for next week's tutorial or an online access code or something.So seriously, save that money. This is probably considered piracy, but lots of textbooks can be found online if you know where to look. If you can't find it on the Internet, borrow the textbook from the library when you need it and photocopy the page(s) you need. Just don't let your lecturer(s) find out."- Jordan

3. "I never had to buy salt and pepper when I was in college, all thanks to McDonald's."

"I usually just grab a couple of packets, but my former housemates actually brought small containers to McDonald's and patiently pour the little packets of salt in. None of the workers have actually noticed. Or maybe they just don't care because lots of students have probably done this before." - Winnie

"I don't do this any more lah, so don't please don't bash me, ok?It's like this - my friends and I used to live in a hostel near a residential area, so whenever we find out there's a kenduri (feast), we'll just go and makan (eat). The tuan rumah (master of the house) always welcomes us with open arms coz they think we're the son or daughter's friends."- Amir

6. "When getting chap fan (mixed rice), try to cover the expensive stuff - like meat - with rice and vegetables so it looks like you only took a little bit."

"They're a few ringgit cheaper than the Adult tickets. Think of how much money you'd save in the long run! Plus, you won't have any trouble going into '18 and above only' movies. You usually scan your ticket barcode at the machine gate thing, so it's highly unlikely that the usher will notice. Even if it's scanned by the ushers themselves or you have a printed e-ticket, they don't usually pay much attention to anything else other than the amount of tickets and your hall number, especially when it's super crowded." - Kwan

10. "My boyfriend and I watch movies back-to-back at the cinema... for the price of one ticket."

"Here's how it works - we'd buy tickets for one movie. When the movie ends, we'd walk out of the hall from where we came in to sneak into another hall for a second free movie! Sometimes we'd even watch a third movie. To optimise our time, we'd look up the showtimes beforehand so we can figure out which movie starts right after the end of our first movie. Having the cinemas' mobile apps in your phone is also VERY helpful - you can check to see which seats are still vacant so you don't have to look for empty seats in the dark. We do buy popcorn and food and drinks though, so I suppose the cinema still kinda gets our money...?" - Nadia

11. "Go to a high end restaurant with some friends and tell the waiter that you're there to celebrate a birthday. At the very least, you'll get a free slice of cake and/or dessert!"

"It doesn't even have to be anyone's actual birthday. My friends tried this at a restaurant in an atas hotel. They told the waiter it was my birthday (we went in February, my birthday's in April), and we got a free cake - not a slice, a whole cake! - and balloons. The head chef even came out to personally wish me a happy birthday!They usually won't ask for an IC to verify if it's actually your birthday, coz they don't wanna risk offending their customers."- Mei

"Fashion sites like Zalora offer about RM25 off for new users, and I know of a couple of start-ups with introductory rebates for first timers too. Sometimes I'd even use referral codes for a new account to get referral rewards. Sorry you guys, but a girl's gotta eat."- Priya

34-Year-Old Man Ruptures His Throat Because He Was Trying To Hold In A Sneeze

You might want to think twice about holding in a sneeze

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Express

When sitting in a quiet theatre or packed train suppressing a sneeze may seem like a courteous option. But doctors have warned against this practice. Ear, throat, and nose specialists at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust released details of a man who suffered complications after pinching his nose and clamping his mouth to stop a sneeze.

In the report 'Snap, crackle and pop: when sneezing leads to crackling in the neck' published on Monday, 15 January, medical experts described the case of the 34-year-old man who had admitted himself into the hospital after noticing changes in his voice

A radiograph of the man's throat shows streaks of air in the back of the throat (black arrow) and extensive surgical emphysema (white arrow).
Image via BMJ Case Reports

According to the report, the "previously fit" man pinched his nose and kept his mouth closed during a "forceful" sneeze. He told doctors he immediately felt a popping sensation in his neck, and there was a change in his voice – that was when he admitted himself into emergency.Upon closer examination, doctors revealed the cause: little "streaks of air" embedded in the soft tissue of his neck, conditions known as subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum.

In other words, he blew a small hole in his throat

"This 34-year-old chap said he was always trying to hold his sneeze because he thinks it is very unhygienic to sneeze into the atmosphere or into someone's face. That means he's been holding his sneezes for the last 30 years or so, but this time it was different," case report author Dr Wanding Yang told CNN.Fearing that an infection could form, doctors hospitalised the man, who was given a feeding tube and put on a regimen of antibiotics. He was released two weeks later after the wounds in his neck healed.

The moral of this story? Don't suppress your sneeze – just let it rip!

"Halting sneezing via blocking the nostrils and mouth is a dangerous manoeuvre, and should be avoided," Yang added."It may lead to numerous complications, such as pseudomediastinum (air trapped in the chest between both lungs), perforation of the tympanic membrane (perforated eardrum), and even rupture of a cerebral aneurysm (ballooning blood vessel in the brain)."Scary.

But for the sake of your co-workers, friends, and everyone you hold dear, please use a tissue or sneeze into the crook of your elbow

Ex-UMNO MP & NGOs Want Preacher Arrested For Claiming Non-Muslims Are Out To Cull Muslims

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

Some 3,000 police reports have allegedly been lodged against a Kedah-based preacher after videos capturing him speaking ill of other religions in Malaysia went viral

According to The Star, Global Human Rights Federation president S Shashi Kumar said several groups and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have banded together to lodge mass police reports against Ustaz Syakir Nasoha at 17 districts nationwide.Shashi Kumar alone led 100 people to the Sentul district police headquarters yesterday, 3 October, to demand that the authorities arrest the controversial preacher for alleging that Hindus, Buddhists, and the Dayak community are plotting to annihilate Muslims."We, the non-Muslims, are fed up of being targeted. Enough is enough. This is a deliberate attack on non-Muslims," The Vibes quoted him as saying."So, we are lodging these police reports because we want this preacher to be arrested immediately and charged.""There are many cases where those who insult and defame non-Muslims are only arrested but not charged."

The videos were allegedly filmed at the Abu Bakar As-Siddiq mosque in Kedah in December 2017, before resurfacing on TikTok and YouTube recently

In one of the videos, Syakir said while people who are against the religion are people of Christianity and Judaism, he asked attendees of the sermon to recall which group of people bombed schools in Siam — the former name of Thailand."Who are the ones bombing mosques? Is it America or Israel? No, it's the Buddhists. Who are killing Muslims in Pakistan and India? It's the Hindus," the preacher said into a microphone."And remember people who practise those faiths are here in Malaysia too. Who are the ones who kill Indonesians? (People of) Papua New Guinea.""The Dayaks... until our Muslims are dying. Women were raped, men were slaughtered.""Can't you see? All these show that they are here to attack us."

Image via YouTube

SAYS sighted a longer version of the sermon, uploaded in March, on a YouTube channel with over 699,000 subscribers.In it, Syakir told several stories to spur attandees to defend and fight the enemy of the religion.The preacher has over 100,000 followers on his Facebook page.

Meanwhile, Brickfields district police chief ACP Anuar Omar said his police station has received at least five police reports against Syakir

Malay Mail sighted a police report alleging that the preacher had committed an offence under Section 298A of the Penal Code.The provision deals with those who cause disharmony, disunity, feelings of enmity, hatred, ill will, and prejudice that affect the maintenance of harmony, or unity, on grounds of religion.

Image via YouTube

Separately, Malaysiakini reported that former UMNO lawmaker Tawfik Ismail — the eldest son of late former deputy prime minister Tun Ismail Abdul Rahman — had also lodged a police report against the preacher."(The preacher) is a threat to the peaceful coexistence of multiracial, multi-religious, and multicultural society in Malaysia," said the former Sungai Benut member of Parliament."This report is lodged in the larger interest of our beloved country for the police to investigate and take appropriate action against such an offender who flouts the law in Malaysia.""I urge the police, other than investigating him for breach of law, to seek a court order to commit him to mental and psychiatric evaluation at a government facility as I truly believe he is a danger to society and those around him.""I believe no person of sound mind would utter the words or threats that he has done."The controversial sermon can be found here.

[SURVEY] What Do Malaysians Think Of Smoke-Free Alternatives? Share Your Thoughts With Us

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

According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019, an estimated 4.9 million Malaysians aged 15 years and older are smokers

While that number marks a slight drop from previous years, the national smoking prevalence is still hovering around one in five Malaysians.Some smokers realise how harmful smoking cigarettes is to their health, but find it hard to quit due to nicotine addiction. This is why there are currently smoke-free alternatives such as e-cigarettes, vape kits, tobacco heating devices, and more in the market.

ICYMI, there has been an ongoing discussion between experts, the government, and the public regarding smoke-free alternatives.
Unsurprisingly, Malaysia's recent legalisation of vaping has also sparked hot debates on the topic.

On 1 April, the government approved an amendment to the Poisons Act 1952 to allow for the legalisation of nicotine-laced products, which would help curb the rampant sale of vape products in the country, as reported by the New Straits Times.This amendment removes e-liquid containing nicotine used in e-cigarettes and other vaping products from the country's Poisons List of controlled substances, allowing for the taxation of substances and products.Nevertheless, this has garnered mixed reactions from both policymakers and the public.

To see where Malaysians stand, we're running a survey to gauge your thoughts on alternatives to cigarettes and how they should be regulated.

Malaysia Ranks As 18th Most Peaceful Country In The World By Global Peace Index

The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) recently published the 16th edition of their Global Peace Index (GPI), where Malaysia ranked as the 18th most peaceful country in the world

The study covers a total of 163 countries, which comprise of 99.7% of the world's population. While 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators from highly respected sources are used, the overall state of peace is measured across three domains: the level of societal safety and security, the extent of ongoing domestic and international conflict, and the degree of militarisation.

Top 25 most peaceful countries in the world, as listed in the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2022.

This year's results found that the average level of global peacefulness deteriorated by 0.3%, despite Malaysia's climb in the ranks overall

"In the past 14 years, peacefulness has fallen, with the average country score deteriorating by 3.2%," read the report. While the elements of ongoing conflict and safety and security have each continued deteriorating since 2008, the factor of militarisation was the only domain to improve, with Malaysia being one of the main contributors of this statistic.47 of the recorded nations saw deteriorations in their 'internal conflicts fought' score, versus 30 in which indicated an improvement. Among these countries included Malaysia, who ranked fifth most peaceful for the militarisation domain, with a reduction in score of 0.061. This climb sees a slight improvement, with Malaysia having placed sixth in 2021.

As for its placement in the Asia-Pacific region, Malaysia rose in ranking to place fourth most peaceful nation, just behind New Zealand, Singapore, and Japan

The overall Asia-Pacific region recorded a slight improvement in peacefulness for the 2022 GPI, its first in three years. New Zealand retained the title of most peaceful country in the region and second most peaceful country in the world for 2022, while Singapore remained the second most peaceful country for the region, and most peaceful Southeast Asian country, for the third year in a row.As for other Asia-Pacific countries, the Philippines recorded the largest improvement in peacefulness out of all 19 nations in the region, while Myanmar recorded the largest deterioration overall, with North Korea ranking at the bottom.

Topping the GPI chart, Iceland remains the most peaceful country in the world for the 15th consecutive year in a row

Rounding off the top five are New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, and Austria respectively — with four of the top five coming from the European region.As for the top five least peaceful countries in the world, Afghanistan ranks at the top for the fifth year in a row, followed by Yemen, Syria, Russia, and South Sudan respectively.However, Kazakhstan recorded the biggest drop in ranking when compared to its 2021 ranking, going from 68 to 97, dropping 29 spots.

And while the 2022 rankings saw most countries deplete in their level of peacefulness for a record-low, Malaysia's place at 18th show's a new high for the country since 2020.Click here to read the full GPI Report by IEP.


"Kids Shouldn't Be An Investment" — Malaysians Share Reasons Why They Don't Want Children

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.Disclaimer: Some names have been changed for privacy purposes.

Times are changing.
Unlike previous generations, people are less inclined to fulfil societal norms, like settling down and having kids — and that's okay.

Whether you choose to have children or not, it's completely up to you. Regardless of what society tells you to do, or what your parents or friends say you should do, at the end of the day, the main person who has to deal with the decision — is you. It's not as simple as just not wanting kids either. Some people may want children but there are other factors to consider that lead to the choice of not having them.

We spoke with several Malaysians who have decided not to have children and here are their reasons why:

1. "I'm at the point in my life where I just want to live my best life and not have to worry about another human being"

"They're expensive, incredibly needy, and require a lot of attention. Which is what I am. So I don't think I can take care of another version of myself. I'm at the point in my life where I just want to live my best life and not have to worry about another human being who's dependent on me."— Banana, 24

2. "I do not believe in the previous generation's dated expectations of: 'children will carry on my lineage or are an investment to take care of me when I'm old.' That's very presumptuous — a child's love, life, or time should not be for barter."

"There are so many reasons why I do not want kids. First of all, it's because I would much rather learn how to take care of myself properly, than to simply bring up another human being."Secondly, I also believe that all mental health issues stem from childhood; so I do not take parenting lightly. Kudos to all the awesome parents out there, but causing trauma is not my cup of tea."Thirdly, I do not believe in the previous generation's dated expectations of: 'children will carry on my lineage or are an investment to take care of me when I'm old'. That's very presumptuous — a child's love, life, or time should not be for barter."Lastly, children are a financial burden, pregnancy will take a toll on my body, and there are already too many people in the world anyway." — MV, 28

3. "Watching other millennial parents raise the kids they had because it was societal norm is slightly horrifying, and I probably wouldn't do any better"

"I can't find any non-narcissistic reasons to have a child of my own. And when I've asked other people why I should have one, they mostly don't have an answer either. Some are even stumped for a second."I don't feel comfortable to parent a child with my partner. I'm also busy reparenting myself from my difficult upbringing. And barely coping. "Plus, I am not willing to share the little bit of money I don't even have to begin with. I have plenty of kids around me to take care of. That's more than enough for me."Watching other millennial parents raise the kids they had because it was societal norm is slightly horrifying, and I probably wouldn't do any better, so best to just duduk diam diam and live my life contributing to society in other ways." – Amy Fowler, 36

4. "If I'm not able to devote 100% to kids, it's better to not have them at all"

"I've known for a long time that I don't want kids. You know how we used to play those games to predict our future in school last time? Like who's your husband, how many kids will you have, what car will you drive, etc. Even then, I would only put zero and low numbers like one or two as options. "So, even from an early age, I knew that I didn't want a big family. As I got older, that conviction got stronger and I eventually knew for sure that I don't want kids at all. I have nothing against kids, it's not like I hate them or anything. In fact, I love playing with my friends' kids! I just don't want the responsibility of raising one myself. "I know for a fact that I'm too selfish to be able to properly raise kids. I don't want to give up my current lifestyle and freedom, nor do I want the financial burden that comes with kids. I think that if I'm not able to devote 100% to kids, it's better to not have them at all. "If I had any, I know that a part of me would resent them for me not being able to live my life the way I want to, and that's a horrible mentality to have as a parent. People keep telling me that I'll change my mind if and when I get married in the future, but I doubt it. I'm perfectly happy being the cool aunt to all my friends' kiddos, hehe." — Gowri, 30

5. "I think people want kids to satisfy their own desires, not thinking about what their kid's purpose is"

"I've never had the paternal instinct and I don't agree with the norm of having kids just for the sake of having kids. People tend to do it thinking it's the progression of marriage and some even think that you only get married to have kids."I think people want kids to satisfy their own desires, not thinking about what their kid's purpose is. Whenever I ask others why they want kids, they either reply, 'Hmmm I never really thought about that' or 'Oh, because having kids is so nice. I don't know, just something about them' — very inconclusive reasons."I always hear of so many cons of having kids:– sacrifice career, – no more money, – no more time to spend with loved ones and friends, – no time to enjoy being newly married, – no sleep, – parents saying passive aggressive things like 'please take my kids away, no I'm just kidding, kids are a delight, but seriously take them'." — Jon, 30

6. "Apart from having to be financially stable to have kids, a person would also need to be mentally and emotionally strong"

"Firstly, I do not see myself pushing one out because damn that looks like torture. I also don't feel like I'll be a good parent to my children. Apart from having to be financially stable to have kids, a person would also need to be mentally and emotionally strong. "Most parents have kids before they're ready, then end up being horrible parents. Definitely respect those who are ready to have kids and have them." — Jen, 24

7. "I don't think I am selfless enough to support them all the way to adulthood. I have my own long-term goals and dreams I want to accomplish, and I think, by having kids, I'll have no choice but to delay all of those."

"I love kids. But it's a life commitment, you know?"I don't think I am selfless enough to support them all the way to adulthood. I have my own long-term goals and dreams I want to accomplish, and I think, by having kids, I'll have no choice but to delay all of those. I mean, isn't it selfish if I put my goals first, and my kids second? That's not fair to them at all."People say, 'Oh, why not just have one kid?' But then, the child will have no siblings at all. And I wouldn't want my child not to have siblings."But, basically, I'm not completely opposed to the idea of having kids. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind when I'm older." — Sam, 24

8. "Having children used to be a need for business continuity, strict traditions and religions, and also a natural role for women to take up since they had less access to education and career opportunities... but that's a personal choice now"

"I initially did not want kids because of a medical condition, but I came to realise that having kids also meant devoting your entire life to them, and I'm not ready to do that."Like it or not, you are a mother before anything else for at least 18 to 21 years of your child's life, and I am not ready to give up those years for a child when I have so many more areas in life I'm invested in: my family, partner, friends, pets, career, other societies in need, even my own goals, and hobbies."Having children used to be a need for business continuity, strict traditions and religions, and also a natural role for women to take up since they had less access to education and career opportunities. But in the era and community I grew up in, having children is now more of a personal choice than anything – be it self-fulfilment, love, happiness — and it's just not a choice I prefer." — Rene, 25

9. "Having a child isn't important to me as other priorities in life"

"Raising a child can be really expensive and I'd rather put my money elsewhere. Having a child isn't important to me as other priorities in life, at least that's my mentality now." — Farhan, 26

10. "I realised it's not about having enough finances or having support, I just don't want to be a parent"

"Never had the urge to. I can describe it as – 'For parents who wants to have kids, they felt like they are destined to, and that's how I feel about NOT having kids.'"Initially, it was more of 'I don't like kids or babies' in general. I don't feel attracted to them, or want to care for them. After I got married, my husband and I put having children on hold because:1. We weren't financially ready,2. There isn't any support – my parents don't live near, so there's no one we can rely on to take care of a baby, and3. We are both very invested in work mentally and have been working late nights."But after some time, I realised it's not about having enough finances or having support, I just don't want to be a parent." — Diana, 32

11. "I believe future lives will be even more stressful"

"I cannot guarantee my kids can have a better life than me."I believe future lives will be even more stressful with climate change, overpopulation, and persistent racial inequities." — Anna, 36

The revelation that a Malaysian man owns a pair of the '1972 Nike Waffle Racing Flat Moon Shoe' came after a Canadian collector  paid USD437,500 for the rare pair at a public auction in New York on Tuesday, 23 July

The rare sneakers are now the most expensive ones to sold at public auction.

It's official! The 1972 Nike "Moon Shoe" has just been sold at a Sotheby’s for a price $437,500 to Canadian Miles Nadal - breaking the record for the most expensive trainers (sneakers) sold at auction— GuinnessWorldRecords (@GWR) July 24, 2019

According to BBC, Bill Bowerman had made only 12 pairs of so-called Moon Shoes.The hand-made shoes' tread was made by Bowerman using a waffle iron to imprint them. While a number of them were handed out to runners at the 1972 Olympic trials, the pair that were auctioned were thought to be the only one not to be worn.However, after Adol's Facebook revelation, now it seems there exists another pair of the rare Nike sneakers and they are right here in Malaysia.

The shoe, created during Nike's infancy, is one of only a handful given away for the 1972 Olympic Trials, seen sitting inside a waffle iron here during the Sotheby's auction on Tuesday.

The Canadian collector plans to display his set of Moon Shoes at his Dare to Dream Automobile Museum in Toronto

"I think sneaker culture and collecting is on the verge of a breakout moment," Nadal said, adding that he was thrilled at his purchase, calling the "Moon Shoe" a "true historical artefact in sports history and pop culture" as reported by The Guardian.He revealed that he plans to display them, along with the other 99 pairs he acquired in a private sale last week, at his private automobile museum in Toronto.For the other 99 rare or limited collection sneakers offered by Sotheby's on Tuesday, Nadal paid a whopping USD850,000 (RM3.5 million) in total.

M'sian Who Used George Floyd's Last Words To Sell Air Filters Says She Was Stressed By MCO

Over the week, a woman in Penang decided to use the last words of George Floyd, who died after he was suffocated to death by a white police officer kneeling on his neck, to sell air filters on Facebook

In a since-deleted post, the woman shared a computer-generated image of George Floyd with "I can't breathe" written over his face along with an image of an air filter she was promoting."George Flolyd ― 8mins is what is takes for air for a life (sic)," she captioned her Facebook post, according to a screenshot of the deleted post, adding "Mama I can now breathe."

Image via Yahoo News

She reportedly took down the post after Malaysians called her out for being insensitive.However, the woman was quoted saying that she cannot understand why people were so angry when "that is the way he died" and that she just wanted to "stretch the importance of air that's all".

She has since posted a follow-up statement on her account

In the post on Friday evening, 5 June, the woman wrote that she was stressed by the Movement Control Order (MCO) and that she used "wrong words" to boost up sales."There is no intention to hurt anyone. I was stressed by MCO and trying hard to get sales with wrong wordings. I am wholly responsible. I hope you all will forgive my unintentions (sic)," read her post.In the comment section of the post, others advised her to not use the MCO excuse."Please bear in mind everyone is affected by MCO, don't use stupid excuses, instead a real heartfelt sincere apology is enough," wrote a Johor Bahru resident.Meanwhile, a resident of Kuala Lumpur highlighted to the woman why it was insensitive to use someone's death to market a product and that if using George Floyd's last words were the only way she could think of to promote her air filters then she has failed as a salesperson.

Di Pulau Pinang terdapat beberapa lokasi restoran nasi kandar yang menjadi kegilaan ramai. Mana tidaknya, sampai sahaja di Pulau Pinang pasti anda sudah terbayangkan keenakan kari dan rempah ratus yang memikat selera setiap yang berkunjung.Sampai teringat bila dah balik KL. Sedap punya pasal.

Namun begitu, pada 9 Januari 2020 telah tular di mana Restoran Nasi Kandar Beratur yang terkenal di Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, Pulau Pinang diarahkan tutup atas faktor kebersihan

Berita itu telah dikongsikan oleh seorang penulis di laman Twitter iaitu @redzuanNewsMPB. Melalui tweet tersebut tertera gambar Notis Perintah Tutup Establisymen Makanan yang dikeluarkan sendiri oleh pihak Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang.Lihat perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Najis, air kencing tikus dan lipas yang ditemui di dapur sebuah restoran nasi kandar terkenal di Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, P.Pinang menyebabkan premis itu diarah tutup selama 14 hari bermula semalam. pic.twitter.com/gGa37wMJdH— Mohd Redzuan Abdul Manap (@redzuanNewsMPB) January 9, 2020

Menurut laporan lain, terdapat beberapa sarang lipas telah ditemui di restoran tersebut ketika lawatan mengejut itu dijalankan oleh Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang

Bukan setakat itu sahaja, najis, air kencing tikus serta lipas turut ditemui pada beberapa perkakas dapur yang digunakan.Perkara ini menyebabkan premis restoran ini diarahkan tutup selama tempoh 14 hari bermula 9 Januari sehingga 22 Januari 2020 atas alasan premis disyaki atau mungkin menjadi punca jangkitan penyakit dan keadaan premis mungkin akan mendatangkan bahaya kepada kesihatan pelanggan yang berkunjung.

Dashcam Video Shows "Flying Myvi" Land On A Parked Car In PJ

On 7 April, a Perodua Myvi went flying across a T-junction and landed on a parked Toyota Camry in Petaling Jaya

Image via Facebook

The accident, which occurred in front of the GSC office near Atria Mall, was caught on the Myvi's dashcam in a 35-second video. The video was shared on Facebook yesterday, 12 April, and has garnered over 3,000 shares at the time of writing.

According to the footage, the red Myvi had just passed a traffic light when it began accelerating on the road, which was still wet from rain

Image via Facebook

Approaching a T-junction, the driver seemingly lost control as the car can be seen flying above a bush.The parked car, which had no passengers inside, softened the Myvi's landing.

Image via Facebook

The Toyota Camry was significantly damaged as a result of the accident

A tow truck was called to pull the Myvi off from the car.

Netizens took to the comments section of the post to express their disbelief at the driver's recklessness, as well as crack a few jokes about Myvi drivers

Image via Facebook

"Flight mode: ON," wrote a Facebook user.Another netizen pointed out that a lucky pedestrian was only inches away from being hit by the red car.

Image via Facebook

Shortly after the accident went viral, a man commented on the Facebook post claiming to be the driver of the Toyota Camry

He alleged that the driver of the red Myvi was a 72-year-old Chinese man, and argued that he should have his license revoked to prevent similar accidents from occurring in the future."Any lawyers here? Can I sue him for emotional trauma as a result of the accident?" he added.

COVID-19: No More Temperature Checks & Manual Registration On Logbooks From 11 February

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

Temperature checks and manual recording of personal particulars for entry into public premises will no longer be required from 11 February

In a statement on Tuesday, 8 February, Senior Minister (Defence) Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the government has decided to remove the COVID-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) that have been in place since two years ago.However, he stressed that checking in with MySejahtera is still mandatory at all premises."If the owners of premises wish to continue temperature checks and maintain record books for check-ins, the government welcomes and encourages it," he said.

Taking into account @Khairykj & @KKMPutrajaya's briefing in today's COVID-19 Quartet Ministerial, temperature checks & log books are no longer needed at premises from Friday, 11 FebHowever, checking in with the MySejahtera application is still mandatory & required as per normal— Hishammuddin Hussein  (@HishammuddinH2O) February 8, 2022

The decision comes after a late January announcement by Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who said that Malaysia will remove the requirement of temperature checks at public premises as it is not an effective measure to control COVID-19.

Hishammuddin also said with all states having moved to phase four of the National Recovery Plan, the country is planning to transition to the endemic phase from its current COVID-19 pandemic status

"Although the number of daily cases continues to increase, the number of hospitalisation and cases warded at intensive care units remains low," he said, according to Free Malaysia Today.The Senior Minister said this shows the country's health system is under control and the next step is to safely reopen towards living with COVID-19.

He also announced new SOPs for pilgrims travelling to Mecca for umrah, such as making the booster dose compulsory and allowing home quarantine from 14 February

Hishammuddin added that after two years of the pandemic, the country needed to move forward and any further restrictions would no longer be a good decision.He said, however, that no date has been set for the country to transition to the endemic phase yet.

The Ministry of Health expects the COVID-19 Omicron wave to surge before subsiding in the next one to two months:

                The Omicron Wave Is Not A 'Conspiracy' To Cancel Hari Raya Celebrations, Says Khairy

It is expected to subside so Hari Raya Aidilfitri can be celebrated without movement restrictions this year.

Travellers Need To Pay A RM1 Levy When Departing From Any Malaysian Airport Starting 2018

A new RM1 levy is expected to be imposed on all travellers who depart from Malaysian airports next year

Image via sitifatimahdullah

Malaysia Aviation Commission (Mavcom) is seeking to collect regulatory service charges on both companies and individuals that depart from Malaysian Airports by amending the  Malaysian Aviation Commission Act 2016. The matter was confirmed on Tuesday, 14 August, by chief operating officer (CEO) Azmir Zain who said, "I can confirm there is a definite plan by Mavcom to charge RM1 levy to all departing passengers with exception of those flying the rural air services in Sabah and Sarawak."Channel News Asia reported that the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Amendment) Bill would be tabled in the next sitting of Parliament in October.If the amendment bill to expand Mavcom's powers is passed, the new levy is set to begin in January 2018.

According to Azmir, Mavcom is expecting to accumulate RM30 million in the first year of collection

"The purpose of the RM1 levy is to ensure financial sustenance and more importantly the independence of the commission," he explained.He also revealed that Mavcom is currently reviewing the passenger service charge (PSC) for for long-haul flights at klia2. It is said that the PSC could potentially be raised from the existing RM50 to RM73.Azmir said that this is to equalise the charges in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and klia2. However, he pointed out that customers have been saving RM30 ever since Mavcom lowered the (PSC) from RM65 to RM35 flat for all ASEAN destinations. The revised rate came into effect on 1 January 2017.

Image via Mavcom

The first reading of the amendment bill to impose the new levy was tabled in the parliament by Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz last week

Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi

The deputy minister told The Malaysian Reserve last week that the levy will be imposed so that Mavcom could operate without depending on funds from the government.  He revealed that the government have been supporting the independent body for the past two years, since its inception on 1 March 2016.  "A regulator's fee is normal in other countries and we are being very reasonable by charging a minimal RM1 on each passenger," Abdul Aziz was quoted as saying.

Do you agree with the government's move to impose the new levy so that Mavcom could become financially independent? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Meanwhile, the government is also implementing a new tourism tax, but all Malaysians are exempted from it:

According to China Press, the incidents began in early April at the man's tuition centre in Mantin, Seremban. The centre is operated by the man and his wife.

The victim's mother had found inappropriate texts between the man and her daughter in April, and decided to confront him at the time

One of the man's texts received by the victim.

"Can I kiss your face?" the man asked through text. When the victim said no, he replied with "you should say 'anything'". In other texts, the man also reminded the victim to "delete the messages, if not other people may be able to read them".When the mother confronted him with the texts, the man was filmed admitting to the crime and said he should not have done it. His wife had also begged the mother to not lodge a police report against him.The mother eventually relented, but made the man promise to apologise publicly for his actions, immediately stop teaching, and leave the tuition centre for good.

Despite making such promises, the man maintained a presence at the tuition centre by fetching students to and from school

According to a Facebook post by the victim's mother, the man's wife also began making baseless accusations against her and her daughter, and consistently denied incidents of sexual harassment at the tuition centre. On top of that, the man's wife had also announced the closure of the tuition centre beginning July on Facebook, but has since deleted the post.

Citing the couple's untrustworthiness, the victim's mother finally lodged a police report against the man yesterday, 16 June

In another Facebook post, the woman added that her daughter revealed incidents of the man trying to kiss her. He allegedly also held her hand and touched her thighs. On top of that, female students at the tuition centre had allegedly been ordered to go to the man's office to let him "dry their hair" after shower.
