A 3-Year-Old Boy Was Electrocuted By A Hari Raya Display In Publika

A shopping trip turned into quite a scare for a couple when their 3-year-old son got electrocuted by a light bulb from a Hari Raya display in Publika Shopping Gallery on 21 June

The incident, which happened on 21 June, was outlined in a Facebook status posted yesterday (25 June) by Jinny Kim. The post has been shared more than 3,700 times at press time.

In the Facebook post, the boy's mother explained that her son had gotten curious about a cartoon figure on display before proceeding to touch some light bulbs next to the figure.
While the bulbs do not look like real ones as their lights are somewhat dim, she warned her son to let go of them.

Last Sunday 21th June, my family went to Publika Mall (Solaris Mont’kiara) for a cup of coffee after grocery shopping. We were walking along the ground level wide hallway (G2 in Publika) along the Ramadan decorations with some sort of light bulbs decoration adjacent to some sitting area.My kid was attracted to the Ramadan cartoon image displayed next to the light bulbs and as the bulbs looked not real (muted light) he was curious, happened to touch them with his both hands. While my husband was approaching to him I raised a bit of my voice to let go of them.

        facebook.com

But something wasn't right. When the boy did not react to his mother's warnings, she realised that he was being electrocuted when his body started to tremble while his eyes darted in every direction.
With his bare hands, her husband managed to pull their son off of the light bulbs... but not without getting shocked himself.

However, my son looked very strange because he didn’t even turn his head or talk back to me. I suddenly realize he was in a shock of electric current because he started trembling his body and saw his pointless eyes. I shouted “electric electric!” My husband swiftly reached with his bare hands and also got shocked indirectly from my son. After a moment of his ‘ouch!’ he immediately re-tried to pull my son out with quicker motion and in full force.

        facebook.com

A brief check revealed that the boy had suffered several burn blisters on his reddened hands. Most shockingly, the bulbs he was touching exploded into pieces the moment he was pulled away from them!

When my son finally was detached from it, the bulbs got broken and scattered on the floor as my son’s hands got stuck on the bulbs. I screamed as it was so horrifying scene and then my son started crying. We checked his body and what we could see were the burn marks on his both hands. I cried and felt so sorry to him that I had to let him be in an electrical shock about 8 - 10 secs.

        facebook.com

To make matters worse, the guards are of no help whatsoever. Not only were they indifferent to what had just happened, they refused to turn the lights off, saying that they were not authorised to do so.

I asked the guard around us to call the management officer or whoever in charge of this decoration. He didn’t answer and indifferently called some other guards.Finally, a seem-to-be head of guard walked in and just said “don’t let your kid touch anything”.My husband and I were so upset over their reactions and shouted at the guard, “My son is 3 year old and just got electrocuted. How can you say that instead of checking if he is OK. Please just turn the switch off it is not safe!” They say they are not authorized.

        facebook.com

Meanwhile, there were still some families with kids hanging around the area - some close to the light bulbs - after what had transpired. Frustrated at the guards' indifference, the boy's parents took it upon themselves to inform other patrons of the decorations' safety risks.

The worse thing was that after the incident happened, some families with kids were still resting at the other seating area with the same decorations and kids were still so closed to touch them. We asked the guards to turn off the power. They kept saying they are not authorized and were indifferent. So we ourselves asked people not to touch them.

        facebook.com

Despite having to wait for half an hour, their eventual meeting with the person-in-charge (PIC) came to a disappointing end when he told them to fill in a complaint form and bring their son to a clinic

About 30 mins later we could finally talk to allegedly the person in charge on the phone, he said just leave a complain form and go to clinic. We were so speechless and dumbfounded for their mall operation system with no safety standards and irresponsible manners.

        facebook.com

Fortunately, the boy did not suffer any major injuries from the electric shock. However, it was a restless night for the boy and his parents as they were completely horrified and traumatised from what had happened earlier that day.

Luckily other than the wounds on both palms my son didn’t show any signs symptoms yet. We could not sleep at all that night because we were so horrified and traumatized of what we have gone through. My kid also woke up a few times during that night. We just realized that it was so fortunate and he could have been more seriously damaged if unlucky.

        facebook.com

The next day, after bringing their son to the hospital, a manager from Publika contacted them to arrange a meeting with the family. Although they'd initially agreed to it, they eventually decided not to as they lived quite far from Publika and were already exhausted from the trip to the hospital.

Image via Jinny Kim's Facebook

The following day we could see doctor and took a blood test and ECG test. After 3 hours of hospital in the morning the mall manager called around 12:30pm and suggested a meeting with my son at their office in Mont’kiara at 4PM (We live in Subang). At first I said OK but after all at home we were too exhausted to go there and most of all didn’t want to be there with my kid who had to experience the electrical shock and the following examinations. He didn’t get enough sleep as well.

        facebook.com

Their attempts to contact the mall manager went unanswered, so the boy's father headed over to Publika anyway. Even so, the meeting did not happen as the manager did not pick up his calls.
Deciding not to wait, the boy's father went on to lodge a police report.

He didn’t answer my husband’s call or reply sms. So my husband went to Publika around 4:30pm and called. He didn’t pick up and my husband didn’t want to wait and just headed way back to police station to lodge a police report.

        facebook.com

The manager eventually contacted them again sometime past 5.00pm, explaining that he was in a meeting and if they could arrange another meeting. In a surprising twist of events, he even suggested that the boy's burns were from the light bulb instead of electric shock.
Aghast, the boy's father ended the conversation and said that the matter will be referred to a lawyer instead.

Finally he called my husband and asked if my son is ok and whether can meet us and that time was 5:23pm (from the phone record). So, my husband just asked how they are going to deal with it and he asked whether my son got the burns from hot bulb instead of electrical shock. What on earth is the point of that question???!!!My husband was just at a loss for words and asked them to deal with lawyer.

        facebook.com

The boy's parents have since sent a formal letter to Publika's corporate management along with the police report, medical test results, and relevant photos

Dear people who read and shared my post about the incident of my son's.I'd like to update you all that we have sent a...Posted by Jinny Kim on Thursday, 25 June 2015

Meanwhile, Publika has taken steps to quell the outrage from customers on their Facebook page, assuring them that the management will be investigating the "root cause" of the incident.
They also said that they will be bearing the boy's medical fees and advised parents to keep an eye on their children at all times.

“Haram Suami Makan Duit Isteri” - Gadis Kongsi Pesanan Ayahnya Buat Dia & Adik-Beradik

Dalam sesebuah institusi kekeluargaan persoalan hak dan tanggungjawab adalah isu penting yang tidak boleh diambil mudah dan ringan kerana perkara ini melibatkan hukum syarak dan perintah agama

Image via iKahwin

Apabila seorang lelaki dan wanita telah pun sah diijabkabulkan maka secara rasminya masing-masing mempunyai tanggungan yang wajib dipikul. Hak isteri tanggungjawab suami dan hak suami tanggungjawab isteri. Salah satu cabang hak isteri dan menjadi tanggungjawab suami yang utama adalah berkaitan urusan nafkah diri. ‘Nafkah’ bererti sesuatu yang dibelanjakan daripada mata wang atau seumpamanya bagi melengkapkan kehidupan seharian seperti makanan, minuman, pakaian dan juga tempat tinggal.Tanggungjawab memberi nafkah diamanahkan kepada ketua keluarga dan suamilah yang memikul tugasan ini serta wajib baginya menjaga kebajikan isteri dan anak-anaknya.

Image via Baitul Muslim

Seorang pengguna Twitter @raihanharon1 telah berkongsikan satu thread menjelaskan perihal nafkah dalam bahasa yang mudah dan senang difahami

Perkongsian sebanyak lebih 18 ribu oleh pengguna Twitter yang lain itu merupakan pesanan ayahnya buat dia adik-beradik.

Baca perkongsian tersebut di bawah:

Abah pesan kat abang:"Dah kahwin nanti kena ingat haram suami makan duit isteri. Dalam duit suami ada bahagian untuk isteri, dan isteri berhak minta. Dalam duit isteri, semuanya isteri punya. Lelaki tak ada hak persoalkan ke mana isteri belanjakan dan gunakan."But this thing is general. Kalau isteri memang tak kisah nak bagi dan halalkan, then nothing to be worried. Yet the basic is there, what belong to wife not belong to husband.Tak de hak persoalkan, tapi boleh menasihati. I only share apa yg I faham je. Kalau ada yg salah, any corrections are warmly welcomed! Yang pesan ini my abah. Abah I lelaki (of course lah kan). Dia sendiri akan ganti semua duit yang my mom guna untuk beli barang keperluan WALAUPUN my mom tak minta pun. And kami yang anak ni pun kalau guna duit sendiri beli keperluan asas, nanti abah akan tanya seorang-seorang, ada apa-apa nak claim?

I pun pelik jugalah kenapa abah buat macam itu. Then dia bagitaulah seperti di atas. I just don't get kenapa ramai orang bersikap denial. Hello abah I lelaki pun tak mcm itu sekali.

Guys, nafkah itu bukan bererti bagi apa isteri nak like barang mahal semua itu. Kalau isteri minta handbag  harga 100k, nak kena bagi ker? Kalau memang monthly income you 1mil, then tak ada masalah lah sebab you mampu. Ini kalau 1k jer...kau ketuk kepala isteri itu sebab demand bukan-bukan.

Konklusinya, pada pendapat saya adalah sangat mulia isteri yang menolong meringankan beban suami dengan membelanjakan duitnya untuk keluarga tetapi bukan bermakna suami boleh sambil lewa dalam urusan pemberian nafkah.Skop perbincangan topik ini sangat meluas. Banyak arguments dan opinions yang kita sendiri pun mcm 'oh really' , 'sumpahlah' , 'tf aku baca ni'...jadi cadangan saya ialah kalau korang nak penjelasan yang lebih terperinci dan sahih, rujuklah pendapat para ilmuwan yang diyakini kredibilitinya.

Ni pesanan abah kat aku pula (aku seorang je perempuan ya dalam family):"Dah jadi isteri taat cakap suami, patuh arahan suami, turutkan kehendak suami. Sebab apa? Sebab suami dah berhabis banyak duit untuk isteri dari sebelum kahwin sampai lepas kahwin."Exception: selagi mana tak melanggari hukum syara'.Contoh situasi yang I maksudkan with 'persoal' is suami mampu dan wife nak beli handbag baru pakai duit sendiri or nak beli rumah baru or nak beli barang perhiasan baru, selagi tak mendatangkan kemudaratan, lelaki tak de hak nak persoal like "kenapa awak bla bla" , "daripada beli handbag baik bagi saya duit."Isteri membazir? Ni common sense. Bazir = Allah tak suka = jadi saudara syaitan = boleh jadi makruh/haram. Bukan setakat isteri jer korang kena tegur, suami pun kalau membazir isteri kena tegur. Sebab apa? Ammar makruf nahi mungkar. Itu konsepnya!Statement saya sebagai asas. Kemungkaran ialah limitation. Bila asas exceeds limitation, sesiapa yang tahu akan kemungkaran tu, WAJIB tegur si pelaku. Bukan setakat isteri/suami sahaja. Sesiapa yg tahu!!! Simple jer sebenarnya. Korang jer complicated kan. Nyampah tau.

Begitupun, tindakan pasangan selebriti itu mempromosikan produk di Instagram dianggap berunsur lucah dan menggunakan cara pemasaran murahan

Menurut laporan, Syatilla atau nama sebenarnya Siti Nur Syatilla Amirol Melvin berkata, mereka sememangnya sengaja menggunakan foto yang membawa pelbagai maksud dan sudah menjangka perkongsian itu akan mendapat perhatian ramai.Kalau mereka nampak benda itu secara negatif memang automatik ia akan jadi negatif. Tapi kalau berbeza pula kalau mereka pandang secara positif. Ikut pada pandangan individu itu macam mana."Sebab bukan gambar straight foward. Saya dan Sam memang sengaja wujudkan double meaning dalam foto tersebut. Memang kami dah jangka benda ini (kecaman) dan ini bermaksud apa yang kami cuba sampaikan berjaya."Tiada niat untuk buat sesuatu yang nampak lucah. Tapi kalau dah netizen pandang benda itu secara negatif, kami tak boleh nak kawal apa yang mereka rasa. Bagi saya, bad marketing is still marketing, ” katanya.

Dalam pada itu, tinjauan di ruangan komen Instagram milik Syatilla pula mendapati, rata-rata netizen tidak berpuas hati cara pasangan selebriti tersebut dalam mempromosikan produk mereka

Berikut adalah antara komen netizen terhadap gambar kontroversi itu:

A Malaysian Student Helped Discover Supermassive Black Holes "Hiding" Near Our Galaxy

A Malaysian astrophysics student has made the nation proud by being part of a team of astronomers who have discovered the evidence of black holes situated close to the Milky Way

Nur Adlyka Ainul Annuar (second from left) at a press conference during the American Astronomical Society meeting in Grapevine, Texas.

Nur Adlyka Ainul Annuar, is a Physics and Astrophysics graduate from the University of Sheffield and is from Muar, Johor.

Adlyka presented her findings at a press conference at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Grapevine, Texas

She is among the group of researchers who conducted an analysis of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) recent X-ray telescope called NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array). She presented on, "Black Holes, Green Galaxies, Old Stars & NuSTARs" based on her study that has made the discovery that the galaxy has a thick group of gas hiding the central black hole. "These black holes are relatively close to the Milky Way, but they have remained hidden from us until now. "They're like monsters hiding under your bed. Their recent discoveries certainly call out the question of how many other supermassive black holes we are still missing, even in our nearby universe," explained Adlyka.

Adlyka is currently pursuing her PhD in Astrophysics at Durham University's Centre of Extragalactic Astronomy in United Kingdom

Her research is primarily on detecting active supermassive black holes that are hidden by thick clouds of gas and dust in the universe.  Speaking about her study, Adlyka said that, "NuSTAR can detect high energy X-ray emission from the black hole that is able to penetrate through the thick layers of gas and dust".  "Finding these hidden beasts is quite important to improve our understanding on the growth of supermassive black holes, and how they co-evolved with their host galaxies." The Johorian scholar is expected to complete her PhD by the end of July 2017.

Scientists define black hole as a place in space where the gravity is pulled so much to the point that even light can not get out of if

NASA's image of a black hole and its jets.

The reason why the gravity if so powerful there, is due to the fact that matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. A black hole may form when a star is dying.Black holes are invisible but can be found using space telescopes with special tools which can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently from the other stars.A supermassive black hole refers to the largest black holes that each have the mass of more than one billion suns. Scientists believe that the Earth will not fall into a black hole because there are no black holes close enough to the solar system for that to happen. Also, NASA says that the sun will never turn into a black hole as it is not big enough to form a black hole.

What do you think about this latest revelation on black holes? Let us know in the comment section below!


PAS Says Govt Must Protect Zakir Naik After India Charges Him With Money Laundering

"Please defend Zakir Naik. We cannot allow the Government to extradite him back to India. We have to defend him against slander," PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man was heard telling a crowd of over 1,000 at the Gerakan Pembela Ummah (Ummah) rally

The Ummah rally, which was held outside the Sogo shopping complex yesterday, 4 May, heard calls to defend the controversial preacher. Zakir Naik is facing possible deportation back to India where he was formally charged with money laundering by India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday, 2 May.

Indian prosecutors allege that Zakir Naik has acquired USD28 million (RM116 million) worth of criminal assets. They have also accused him of spreading hate speech and inciting terrorism.

According to a report in the BBC, India's Enforcement Directorate, which investigates financial crimes, told a court in Mumbai while filing the charges against Zakir that the agency had identified assets worth millions of dollars as proceeds of crime.His "inflammatory speeches and lectures have inspired and incited a number of Muslim youths in India to commit unlawful activities and terrorist acts", ED told the court.The BBC report added that while the Indian agency also accused the controversial preacher of using funds from "dubious or suspicious sources" to buy property in India and finance events where he made "provocative speeches", Zakir Naik had denied such allegations, saying the money was obtained legitimately.

Image via BBC

At the rally yesterday, the PAS deputy president claimed that the opposition to the preacher was due to the seeping of the "liberal agenda" into religious institutions, reported The Malaysian Insight

"This gathering shows that Muslims are aware that the liberal agenda is threatening religious institutions," the news portal quoted Tuan Ibrahim as saying.

Image via Malaysiakini

It should be noted that Putrajaya has shown no interest in extraditing Zakir Naik, with Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir saying the preacher will not be sent back unless he breaks any local laws

The Prime Minister was asked yesterday if Putrajaya would assist the Indian government by sending the preacher back to face charges in his home country.To which, Tun Dr Mahathir replied that they will "study the matter based on legal provisions", Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported.

While PETRONAS is known for their touching and heartwarming festive ads for every occasion, they've decided to do something different this year.
Introducing 366 — PETRONAS' brand new original drama series!

Image via PETRONAS (YouTube)

Drawing inspiration from the highs and lows of recent years, this seven-episode drama series set in the near future tells stories about Malaysians' reality and second chances.Instead of the usual one video that tells a standalone story per cultural holiday, 366 breaks the mould of conventional festive storytelling by depicting one storyline over seven episodes.

Anchored upon the overall PETRONAS 2022 festive campaign themed 'Live Again', 366 sets out to portray the resilience, fortitude, and togetherness of Malaysians during trying times

Image via PETRONAS (YouTube)

The chaos of 2020 and 2021 has given many of us time to rethink life and consider what really matters. People have also been forced to confront their true strengths, fears, and weaknesses.As PETRONAS has always told real Malaysian stories, they wanted to capture how we've changed after going through tough times in recent years. That's why 366 is the story of adventure, self-discovery, forgiveness, and second chances. In depicting this, PETRONAS wants to remind Malaysians that today's uncertainty or mistakes should not stop us from moving forward and thriving. It is only when we dare to look beyond that we are able to move to new heights.

Chinese New Year marks the release of the first episode, Day 32, and omggg we're already hooked!

Image via PETRONAS (YouTube)

Revolving around the main character, Zhi Yi, as well as her friends and family, the first episode starts off with a literal bang, throwing us headfirst into the story and leaving us incredibly intrigued.While making her way back to her hometown with her mother, Zhi Yi struggles with the choice of having reunion dinner with her father or giving in to her mother's cryptic request.When the unexpected happens, Zhi Yi is thrown into a situation where her choice is made for her, and she's left reeling as she tries to take her present situation in stride.

5 New Videos By WSJ That Simplify 1MDB Scandal Issues In 48 Seconds

Malaysians are probably tired of listening about the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) issue that is most likely one of the biggest political corruption scandals Malaysia has ever faced.
The truth is, the scandal in its entirety isn't particularly the easiest thing to digest - especially with new findings and allegations surfacing over the past year.

WSJ's info-graphics on the suspected 1MDB money trail
Image via The Wall Street Journal

The issue was first brought up on 2 July when news channels, Sarawak Report and the Wall Street Journal published reports claiming that a sum of RM42 million from the government owned strategic development company, 1MDB, has been transferred into Prime Minister Najib Razak's personal account in December 2014. Sarawak Report also claims that a grand sum of RM2.6 billion has been transferred into Najib's personal account right before the 2013 General Elections.

The issue has gained so much of international media attention to the point that it is currently being investigated by several American lawmakers including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Switzerland's Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) and the America's Justice Department's Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative that is a designated department to investigate international corruption scandals.

4 Facts You Should Know About The Fatal Shooting Of 2 Men At A Sibu Cafe

Two men were fatally shot in broad daylight yesterday, 3 October

Image via Free Malaysia Today

The incident happened at about 12.15pm when the duo was having lunch with their friends at a cafe in Lorong Pahlawan in Sibu, Sarawak.It was reported that one of their friends, a female Chinese national, was sitting on the same table with the victims when the incident took place. She escaped unhurt.

Here are some key facts about the case:

1. The gunman had shot the victims twice each at close range

Image via Info Sibu/Facebook

Image via Harun Yahya/BH Online

The two victims have been identified as Lau Ngik Yin, 47, and Loh Lik Siong, 21. It was learned that both the victims died on the spot. The shop operator told police that the suspect was wearing a helmet and red-coloured jacket when he entered the premises. He then approached the victims before firing four shots from a pistol."The suspect, who was about five metres away from the victims, immediately fled the scene on a motorcycle," Sibu district police chief Assistant Commissioner Zailanni Amit was quoted as saying by New Straits Times (NST).

2. One of the victims had escaped two similar shootings just a few years ago

In November 2012, a shootout happened in an apparent attempt to assassinate Lau while he was having lunch with his wife and cousin in Lorong Pahlawan. Gunmen opened fire at Lau, but he survived the attack. Unfortunately, his wife, Law Leh Kuong, died during the incident.  Two years later in 2014, Lau was a target of assassination once again. The Borneo Post reported that he was at an eatery in the same area with a friend and accompanied by his bodyguard when three men pulled up in a car and fired a shotgun at him. It is learned that Lau, who is said to be involved in the timber and entertainment businesses, escaped with minor injuries to his fingers while one of his friends was wounded.

3. Lau was previously charged for allegedly conspiring with a group to murder a woman

Image via Utusan

In 2015, a Mongolian woman at Dataran Bandar Utama in Selangor was shot at four times in a drive-by shooting. Investigations revealed that the victim was wrongly shot and injured by mistake as she was not the target.A total of five people, including Lau and two former policemen, were charged for criminal conspiracy. However, they were eventually acquitted in July 2016.

4. The police are still looking to establish a motive behind the murders of Lau Ngik Yin and Loh Lik Siong

State Police Commissioner Datuk Amer Awal has urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information. "I urge the public not to speculate on the matter and to give the police time and space to carry out a detailed investigation," he was quoted as saying by The Borneo Post.  The authorities have also launched a manhunt to track down the assailant as a special task force has been set up to investigate the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.


[VIDEO] Surgeon Manually Sucks Urine Out Of A Man's Bladder During Flight To Save His Life

In an incident that happened onboard a flight from Guangzhou to New York, a surgeon saved an elderly man's life with his quick thinking by manually sucking 700ml of urine out of the man's blocked bladder

Image via Daily Mail

The incident happened on Tuesday, 19 November onboard a China Southern Airlines flight, when cabin crew made an emergency announcement asking for any doctors on the long-haul flight

Two vascular surgeons, Dr Zhang Hong and Dr Xiao Zhangxiang, responded to the call.The two Chinese surgeons rigged straws, a syringe needle and tubing from an oxygen mask together with tape to perform a life-saving emergency procedure on the flight, according to a report in South China Morning Post (SCMP).However, when a makeshift catheter to extract the urine didn't work and the two surgeons determined the unidentified man's bladder was close to rupturing, Dr Zhang used a plastic tube and used to his mouth to manually suck 700ml of liquid waste from the man's bladder.The surgeon spent more than half an hour sucking out the elderly man's urine, who was sweating, had a swollen belly and had previously been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate."If we had not dealt with the situation in time, the patient's life would have been at risk," Dr Zhang was quoted as saying by SCMP on Thursday.

Speaking about the incident, Dr Zhang said this — to manually suck out the liquid waste — was the best way they could control the flow

			It was an emergency situation. I couldn't figure out another way
        Dr Zhang Hong

"When I saw that the man could hardly bear the pain any more, my only thought was how to get the urine out of his bladder," he was quoted as saying.

Surgeon Zhang Hong (left) and surgeon Xiao Zhanxiang reflect on their mid-flight medical emergency.

Dr Zhang revealed that kept sucking the urine out despite reportedly feeling like he would vomit. The good doctor, however, remains modest when he was asked about his heroic act onboard the flight.

			As a doctor, your job is to cure the sick. I was just doing my job.

According to him, at that time, he could only think about how to suck the urine out."Actually I already felt nauseous on my second mouthful. It was definitely unpleasant," he said.

The surgeon's selfless act was captured on video by the crew.

"They Said I Was Crazy": A Negeri Sembilan Man On How He Turned A Dumpsite Into An Orchard

Meet Zakaria Othman

He is a retired civil servant from Taman Putra, Kuala Pilah in Negeri Sembilan. Zakaria loves planting vegetables, however, he had trouble finding a place to do so.When he did come across a plot where he wanted to grow vegetables, it came with a disappointment of seeing the plot of land becoming a dumpsite for construction materials, according to a report in NST Online yesterday, 26 July.That was a decade ago. Since then Zakaria has turned the plot into a mini plantation.

Image via Amran Yahya/NSTP

The retired civil servant, upset at the plot being turned into a dumpsite, decided to take matters into his own hands

He first removed almost a tonne of rubbish from the site near his home and then once he had made enough space, he started planting some chilli seeds.

Image via Giphy

When the chillis thrived, he grew more plants

			Now, there are more than 10 types of plants in this mini plantation.
        Zakaria Othman.

While his project has made the 0.1ha plot home to plants such as chilli, sunflower and banana, it didn't come easy.
When he first started, neighbours called him "crazy".

			When people learnt of my plans, they said I was crazy as the area was filled with rubbish. They also said the land could be infertile. However, I pressed on.
        Zakaria.

Although his neighbours mocked him for his plans, Zakaria says that he would love to share the harvest with them

"I've planted banana, spinach, eggplant, papaya, ladies fingers, lemongrass, pandan, long beans, coconut and sunflowers," he was quoted as saying by NST Online.He added that he now plans to expand his green haven.

The video opens with a voice saying, "Over the years we have featured many same sex couples. But an openly gay Malay couple accepted by their family?
Now that is one story we haven't told before."

The episode, directed by Sean Foo, features 30-year-old Faliqh and 41-year-old Kaal, who have been together since they met at a beach party in August 2011.

"I was busy eyeing him while he was talking to his friends," Faliqh explained, while Kaal recalled thinking that he was "cute."Despite the fact that Kaal was half an hour late to their first date and had not decided where to go for dinner, Faliqh said that "eventually, when we started to talk, everything started to mellow down and it went really well."

Image via Dear Straight People/YouTube

According to Faliqh, one of the main factors for the couple's successful seven-year relationship was the "love and acceptance from Kaal's family"

Image via Dear Straight People/YouTube

While Kaal's mother was quiet when she was first introduced to her son's "friend", she soon began to open up and did not question the men when they admitted to living together.

"She doesn't ask anything more than that. I think she understands. I guess as a mother, she doesn't need an explanation from me," Kaal said."They don't really impose on us to be a certain way. The only thing that my mum imposes on us is to be responsible for whatever we do," the 41-year-old added."What we are is what we are. She won't say anything out of respect."

"I feel blessed. I can't count how many times I've felt blessed to be with Kaal's family," said Faliqh

Image via Dear Straight People/YouTube

Despite "having different opinions and coming from different backgrounds," Faliqh said that he loves his partner's mother and siblings.Kaal expressed his gratitude for his family "not treating people differently" and for teaching respect and love towards others.

"For the people who are watching this video, I hope that you guys realise that gay relationships, especially coming from a minority Malay community, is like any other relationship," said Faliqh."It's very fulfilling. There will be good days and there will be bad days. So I say it has been a wonderful journey," he added.

After a tweet about the video went viral on 15 February, the couple's story has received a mixed reaction from netizens

Image via Twitter

"Enough Internet today," wrote one Twitter user, while another said that, "Sins are sins."

However, several netizens on Twitter and YouTube have come to the couple's defence

Patients were 'sedated and trapped'

Some of the dead are thought to have been tranquillised. Bars on the windows may have prevented patients from climbing out to escape.

We Went To Singapore To Watch Formula One, Soak In The Nightlife, And Eat Delicious Food

Not too long ago, we received a mysterious package with the hashtag '#todayiwill' placed on its lid

After heading to the prescribed location on the invitations, we were then taken to a super-exclusive party at Sepang International Circuit.Just when we thought the fun was over, we were presented with another surprising opportunity. This time we headed to Singapore to catch the Formula 1 Grand Prix, stuff ourselves with some of the most mouthwatering food at luxury dining establishments, and party the night away at one of the most lit clubs in Southeast Asia.

Day 1 - Off to Koma, a super-hip Japanese restaurant

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

After setting foot on Singaporean soil, our first stop was Koma - a super-luxe Japanese restaurant located in the world-famous Marina Bay Sands.

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

Think Japanese food, with a slight hint of Western influence. Probably one of the most memorable seafood dishes we were served was the jalapeño tuna. It was sweet, buttery, and oh-so-good.We were also served a generous helping of A5 Wagyu. Who's gonna turn down such an enticing offer? Our verdict: juicy AF.

Drinking in the 'highest' bar in Asia ;)

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

Shortly after our dinner at Koma, we headed to 1-Altitude bar. Sitting at 282 metres above ground, it’s considered the highest bar in all of Asia and the view definitely vouched for that claim.Being so high up, we got to enjoy seamless 360º views of Singapore. Plus, the added altitude also gifted us with cool, refreshing air.

Day 2 - Nothing's better than chilling on a yacht

Image via Glo

We got out of bed pretty early the next morning and headed straight for the pier. Did somebody say Y-A-C-H-T? Yes, please.It was honestly a sight for sore eyes. While partying and drinking all night is fun, no doubt, it's also exhausting. It was nice to be able to just relax and unwind as we cruised around in a chartered yacht.The weather was warm, as it naturally is here in Southeast Asia, but the coastal breeze was definitely more than welcome.

Image via Glo

We docked at a nearby pier and treated ourselves to barbecue lamb and champagne. Okay, now we're just being spoiled.Some of us even took a dip in the water. When on a yacht, do as yacht-people do?At around noon, we headed back to solid ground and made our way to the Singapore Formula 1 street circuit! *intense breathing*

The one and only Formula 1 Paddock Club

Image via Glo

The Paddock Club isn't what you think it is. It isn't just a room filled with slightly comfier seats - we were also given access to spa facilities, some delicious food, and entertaining live performances. Talk about being fancy.The folks at McLaren were kind enough to give us an exclusive look into the pit lanes. There, we looked on with intense fascination and curiosity as the team mechanics and engineers set about prepping the McLaren Renault F1 cars.

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

Even though Saturday would play host to the qualifying round, the engineers and mechanics worked hard to ensure that Team McLaren would make it to the top positions. One of the mechanics even told us that car position and placement on the track is the key to having a good race. That's why qualifiers are super important. It's all about that finesse, y'all.During a briefing by Team McLaren, we were told that starting on the righthand-side of the track - 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th position - can actually be more beneficial in the Singapore Grand Prix because of the way Turn 1 leads to the left.This would entail an easier racing line from the right to cut into the left turn, thus providing for the opportunity to gain positions early on in the race.

Image via Glo

Prior to the start of the race, we went for a walk along the pit lane, where we saw all the other team garages hustling and bustling with activity. It was organised chaos.The qualifying round was intense

Image via Glo

The cars blasted off at around 9pm.There were close to 20 people in the garage, all working in sync with each other. Although people were running around, not one person bumped into another. It felt almost clinical, precise - like Formula 1 ballet.

Image via Glo

By the end of Qualifying, Team McLaren managed to snag a couple of Top 10 positions, with Carlos Sainz getting P7 and Lando Norris trailing just behind at P9.After some cheers and celebration, we bid our farewells (for the night) to Team McLaren and the notorious Singapore F1 street circuit.After partying at this club, nothing else even comes close.

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

We found ourselves returning to Marina Bay Sands. Our next destination - the most ephemeral experience one could ever encounter in a club.Known as Marquee, this relatively-new night club is located right next to Koma. On the outside, it looks pretty unassuming. Once the curtains were drawn, we were taken aback by the sheer size of the place.We couldn't help but feel like we had just entered an old opera house, complete with side-lounging decks that housed VIP tables.

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

As if the size of the place wasn't enough, there was also an eight-armed Ferris wheel and a three-story slide! Who thinks of this stuff when designing the interior of a club?! We want whatever they're having.

Day 3 - Bread Street Kitchen, here we come

After an exhausting night of partying, we were thankfully allowed to sleep in the next morning. Once we all freshened up, we headed to Bread Street Kitchen, owned by television's most famous potty-mouthed chef, Gordon Ramsay.Designed to emulate the look and feel of its flagship restaurant in England, we definitely felt like we had just stepped foot into the famous dining establishment in St. Paul's.The food was great, as expected! We wouldn’t mind paying a little more to have Gordon Ramsay scream at us while we gorge down on an English Breakfast."It's lights out and away we go!"

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

We headed to the Paddock Club once more to catch the championship race, but not before letting Hans Zimmer grace us with a phenomenal live performance.He even showcased local Singaporean talent in his accompanying orchestra. Theme songs from Inception, Pirates of the Carribean, and Man of Steel were played.Listening to these songs performed live really shined a new light on them. But the song that got everyone cheering the loudest was 'Circle of Life' from The Lion King. It brought back some really fond childhood memories. The feels, yo.

Image via Glo

Carlos Sainz managed to score 12th position despite falling behind by one lap, caused by some technical difficulties. His teammate, Lando Norris, fared better and scored P7. It might not have been a podium finish for either of the two, but it was evident that Team McLaren's pride and joy shined through for both drivers.

Image via Glo

One final party to cap off the night

We saw Red Hot Chili Peppers live!
Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

We made a post-race dash to catch the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also, we might have been the only ones head-banging to their music. What can we say? RHCP for life.After getting our necks sore, we headed straight for the Ritz Carlton Hotel for the Formula 1 after-party.

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

We couldn't help but feel star-struck. The place was chock-full of celebrities. PLUS, we even got to see Raleigh Ritchie perform live. Some of you may know him as Jacob Anderson, but most of you will know him as Gray Worm, the leader of the Unsullied from the hit TV show Game of Thrones.

Image via Tarvin Gill | Mashable Southeast Asia

The 23-year-old belted his vocals and turned out to be a real showman!When we left, the realisation that all this was going to be over, slowly started to sink in. Talk about a depressing come-down. :'(We have to say, this was one phenomenal experience. Who else can say they got to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix at one of the most popular legs in the racing calendar, while also living like a rockstar for a few days?All in all, we give it an A+++. If we could give more pluses, we would.A million thanks to our gracious hosts, Glo - real party people.


These Photoshop Parody Ads Reveal The Ugly Truth About Filtered Beauty

Photoshop takes a lot of flack in this day and age, especially when it comes to the beauty and fashion industries. Often that ‘flack’ doesn't give us much to laugh at, but a recent project by Anna Hill does.

In a new series of incisive Photoshops, artist Anna Hill uses the image editing techniques that are ubiquitous in mainstream advertising to turn herself into a model. The resulting parody ads don't market make up or clothes, but instead, the image-perfecting power of Photoshop itself.

        designtaxi.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

Made as part of her final project for an advanced digital photography class, these parody ads are a sarcastic response to the incredible amount of manipulation that goes into ads for the beauty and fashion industries.

        petapixel.com

She put together 4 mock Photoshop ads that poke fun at just how far the beauty industry often takes photo manipulation. Anna made the ads for a final project in an advanced digital photography class, using herself as the model.

Trying to sell Photoshop as an “all-in-one beauty” kit with new “limb lengthening serum” feature, Hill has also cheekily portrayed the photo-editing software as a helpful tool for keeping happy marriages.

        huffingtonpost.com

Once finished, she decided to share the images on Reddit where they collected a massive number of upvotes and caught the attention of many a blog and news outlet.

        gizmodo.com

Who needs pigment when you've got pixels?

"I thought it would be fun to poke fun at how much beauty ads are overly manipulated," she told the Huffington Post in an email. "They really are altered so much, they may as well be advertising Photoshop rather than the products they actually sell."

        huffingtonpost.com

In the ads, Hill portrays Photoshop as a magical beauty potion. Wish your legs were longer? 'Shop em!

This Boy With Cancer Travelled 400km Alone Just To Ease His Family's Financial Burden

This is Shi Luyao, an 11-year-old boy who is suffering from leukaemia. He has been travelling hundreds of kilometres alone in the last year for his treatment.

Image via Guiyang Evening Daily via China Daily USA

Since August 2015, Luyao has been making solo trips to the hospital from his hometown in Guizhou province in China to the hospital in Kunming, more than 400km away from his home, to receive the treatment on his own.  The child cried as he recalled his lonely experiences to the hospital to have bone marrow biopsy to monitor his situation, which was getting better. "I wanted to cry, but I did not as I did not want other people to know I was all by myself," he said.Each time after his therapy, Luyao endured the excruciating pain and went back home overnight to ensure that he will not miss a single class. He was determined to overcome those lonely hospital trips just to ease the financial burden on his family.

The boy had a rough start in life, abandoned by his own mother at the age of two

His mother reportedly left Luyao when he was just a toddler because of poverty. Ever since then, he lived with his grandparents until he moved to the Anhui province when he was in third grade as his father was working there.

Things went downhill in 2013, when the doctors diagnosed him with lymphocytic leukemia

It all started when Luyao developed a high fever, which subsequently led to the diagnosis.  In order for Luyao's lymphocytic leukaemia to be cured, he needs to undergo long-term chemotherapy. Lymphocytic leukaemia is most commonly seen in children.  His father struggled to pay for Luyao's treatments but he made sure that he kept his promise that he would do all he can to save his son - so he took out  200,000 yuan (RM123,775) in loans over two years to help finance his son's treatments. Two years later, in August 2015, Luyao returned to his hometown, Bengjing village in Liupanshui city in Guizhou after his condition got better.

During the two years he was out of school, he borrowed books to go over the lessons he had learned before he was ill and the new courses of fifth grade on his own. After his condition got under control, the boy asked his grandparents to send him back to school. "He looked very down and lonely, but he scored surprisingly good grades," said Peng Lu, the Chinese language teacher of Shi. Peng said the boy's grades have remained at the top of the class since he returned to school.Each time he came back from the hospital, the boy would hand in his homework on time, she said.
