The Dewan Rakyat today passed the Animal Welfare Bill, which promotes animal welfare and responsible ownership of animal, hence marking another milestone for Malaysia.Once the law is put into effect, Malaysia will be at par with member countries of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) such as India, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob told the house that the new law, however, would not replace the Animals Act 1953. Instead, it would cover a broader aspect based on the principles on the welfare of the animals.

        nst.com.my

"This law is to send a message to people not to abuse animals but there are some offences that can be given compounds like failure to display licences," he said.

So what does the bill consist of?

1. Establishment of an Animal Welfare Board

The bill, which was tabled for first reading on April 9, allows the establishment of the Animal Welfare Board, which among others, will monitor the work of associations and organisations established for the purpose of preventing trauma, pain or suffering to the animals. It will also be working closely with the Education Ministry to introduce the importance on animal welfare to school children.

2. Requirement of a license to carry out activities involving animals

The Bill will require for all individuals and businesses which carry out activities involving animals to obtain a licence. Under the licence requirements, owners also have to ensure animals are free from pain, suffering, injury and disease.Animals should also be able to exhibit normal behaviour patterns and have suitable environments, diets and housing.

Clause 29 states cruelty offences include the act of beating, mutilating, poisoning, confining in area that restrict natural movements of the animals, abandoning or the act the owner of allowing such cruelty against the animal.A minimum fine of RM20,000 and a maximum penalty of RM100,000 fine and three-year imprisonment will be imposed on the law breaker.

4. Practice of ethical animal testing

Malaysian Animal Welfare Act brings hope for the ethical care and use of animals for research. The act includes guidelines such as only allowing research using animals on schools. It also prohibits breeding of animals in the name of research, testing or teaching. The health and behavioral needs of the animals to be tested should also comply with the board's regulations.

Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob gave his assurance that dogs would be listed as among those animals that could not be shot by local authorities as one way of controlling their population."If the local authorities continue to shoot dogs, they can be punished and fined up to RM100,000 under this Bill," he said in his reply to points raised during the debate on the Bill.

6. Enforcement officers are given the power to relieve an animal from distress if a written letter is given by a certified veterinary surgeon

If an animal is found to be suffering or more likely to not survive and a written letter was given by a veterinary surgeon confirming this, an enforcement officer is given the right to put down the animal.However, an application to the court needs to be made to notify the owner or the licensee of the animal regarding the action taken on the animal.

7. A warrant is NOT needed to search and seize premises if it could lead to lost of material evidence

Image via Emily Lora James

Usually, a warrant is needed to obtain evidence or enter a premise to rescue an animal. However, in the event that a delay in obtaining a warrant would risk lost of material evidence, welfare officers are allowed to enter the premise without a warrant.

8. The courts have the power to disqualify or deprive any owner or licensee from owning an animal indefinitely

If a court of law is satisfied that the owner or licensee is unfit to own an animal, the court may deprive he/she of ownership indefinitely. The offence must first be proven beyond reasonable double and fall under one of the sections in the act. To add, the court will also forfeit any apparatus used in the process of torturing the animal.

9. Failure to comply with an order from a minister could lead to a fine between RM10,000 to RM50,000 or imprisonment for a term not more than 1 year or both

Image via My Facts

A minister is given the authority to make any order as may be expedientor necessary for the better carrying out the provisions of the act. However a failure to comply with any written order will result in a fine of not less than RM10,000 and not more than RM50,000 or imprisonment for a term not more than 1 year or both.

The Animal Welfare Bill is a big stepping stone for Malaysia as the tightening of standards and promotion of animal welfare in the country have long been overdue

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Selangor patron, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye when asked about his view on the new bill mentioned,"I would like to extend my gratitude to all MPs who had eloquently debated and supported this new Act. While politics may divide us, let this Animal Welfare Act unite us all."

IKEA's Fill-In-The-Blanks Cookable Paper Is The Most Magical Thing You'll See Today

Let's face it, not all of us are blessed with Nigella Lawson-like cooking skills. For some of us, the biggest achievement we've had in the kitchen is proving some laws of physics wrong...

Latest findings: It is very much possible to burn soupy ramen until it resembles an unappetising cake.
Image via Instagram @xue_ying_liu

And that's exactly why we're losing our minds with these promising parchment paper recipes by IKEA!

Image via Leo Burnett

In true IKEA fashion, they've turned what could have been a daunting dinner prep into a fun and interactive game. Just fill in the adorably-illustrated blanks with the corresponding ingredient, wrap them all up together, and bake them to perfection.

Image via Leo Burnett

Illustrated with food-safe ink, the fill-in-the-blanks recipe sheets are a God-sent gift for all of us who are terrified of having to agak agak measurements when cooking

Image via Leo Burnett

Suddenly making baked salmon doesn't seem too hard...

Image via Leo Burnett

Then there's this shrimp recipe that will appeal to the OCD in you

Image via Leo Burnett

There's even a sheet for sweets! Here's the IKEA way to make Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble...

Image via Leo Burnett

And the results look AH-MAY-ZINGGGG!

Image via Leo Burnett

Here's the not-so-awesome bit though: They're not currently available in the market =(

The parchment paper recipes, the brainchild of Leo Burnett Canada, were given away at IKEA Canada stores as part of their kitchen-themed event. The 'Cook This Page' campaign has since been winning praises and prestigious awards for the simple yet ingenious idea.

With all the buzz this campaign has been receiving, we're hoping these magical sheets will somehow make it to Malaysian shores soon!

How Tim Cook Gave Android Its Most Lethal Mocking Ever

At WWDC 2014, Apple CEO Tim Cook took on the stage to bash its biggest competitor OS platform - Android

Apple CEO Tim Cook ripped Android to shreds on stage at the company’s big developers’ conference, WWDC. Android is the free operating system distributed by Google and used by most competing mobile phone companies, like Samsung.

        businessinsider.my

Cook told attendees that 130 million Apple customers who bought one of the company’s products in the last 12 months were first-time Apple buyers

Image via businessinsider.com

He deadpanned: “Many of these customers were switchers from Android. They had bought an Android phone, by mistake, and then sought a better experience. And a better life. And decided to check out iPhone and iOS.”

        zdnet.com

Cook also noted that nearly half of iPhone buyers in China switched from Android to Apple’s iOS

He gave this stat: “Nearly half of our customers in China in past six months switched from Android to iPhone. This is incredible.”

        techcrunch.com

In fact it’s not that incredible: Apple only began focusing on China recently and most of the Chinese market was previously on Android, so where else were those customers going to come from?

        businessinsider.my

About 89% of Apple users are on iOS 7. Yet only 9% of Android users are on KitKat, the most recent Android system. "Some are on Android from four years ago — that’s like ancient history!" Cook said.

Image via businessinsider.com

According to Cook, thanks to free software updates which Apple controls, 89% of iOS users have now updated to the iOS 7 mobile operating system on their devices, which is the latest major version. In comparison, he says, a big percentage of Android customers are still using a version of Android from “four years ago.”

        techcrunch.com

“Less than 1 out of 10 of their customers are on their latest versions,” Cook said. “That means these customers are not getting great new features. They’re not able to run the latest apps, and they’re not getting security updates they need to stay safe.”

        tuaw.com

A pie chart displayed behind Cook  – perhaps not checked for accuracy? – noted that Android had 99% of the mobile malware market

Image via businessinsider.com

What, like nobody tries to hack Blackberry phones anymore?

        businessinsider.my

Another slide described Android as a "toxic hellstew of vulnerabilities"

If you ever had any doubt about the lack of affection between Cupertino and Mountain View, doubt no more.

Zahid Hamidi Wants To Set Up Huge Firewall To Filter YouTube Videos

Censoring Websites Infringes On An Individual's Right To Freedom Of Information, Say Civil Rights Activists

Image via themalaysianinsider.com

The Home Minister's plan to block unapproved content on websites and YouTube is “regressive” and could pave the way for potential abuse of power, civil rights activists said.

        yahoo.com

Lawyer Eric Paulsen described the plan as a return to “the government knows best” approach where Malaysians are not given the opportunity to judge for themselves. He also cautioned that this form of censoring could eventually spread beyond its screening purpose. “I think it's a slippery slope, once you start censoring some films on the Internet... it'll snowball and affect other content. I don't think we should allow this.

        themalaymailonline.com

“It would certainly infringe on an individual's right to freedom of information, freedom of expression and freedom of speech,” the co-founder of Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) said.

        yahoo.com

Suaram Criticised The Move, Saying The Firewall Could Be Used By The Government To "Filter Information To Cover Up Their Wrongdoings"

Suaram executive director Yap Swee Seng also called the firewall method “regressive” and an obstacle to Malaysians making informed choices on the economic and political situation through access to freely circulating information, besides also hampering Malaysia's bid to become a developed nation. “The idea of setting up a firewall is for us a regressive measure to restrict access to information and also restrict freedom of expression,” he told Malay Mail Online when contacted earlier this week.

        themalaymailonline.com

Yap said the firewalls are not effective, further voicing his worry that it could be “easily abused” by authorities to protect themselves from public criticism. “There are technological advances every day and many countries have tried firewalls and it doesn't really work but the main concern is the government is using this as an excuse to filter information to cover up their wrongdoings and to filter information based on their political interests rather than interests of the country,” he added.

The Malaysian Home Ministry Is Mulling The Decision To Censor The Internet For The Good Of Malaysians

Image via todayonline.com

The Malaysian Home Ministry is looking to set up a large-scale firewall that would essentially impact all Malaysian Internet users by filtering content that is deemed culturally unacceptable for Malaysians.

        malaysiandigest.com

Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi Said That "Content Creators Have To Make Sure Their Content Do Not Lead Members Of Society Out Of Social And Religious Norms"

Image via themalaymailonline.com

Specifically, the Home Ministry is looking to filter video content that the Malaysian Censorship Board deems to contain negative elements. Home Minister Datuk Ahmad Zaid Hamidi stated:

        lowyat.net

“We want to create awareness among the public, specifically film goers, that the censorship board has a social and religious responsibility to ensure movies adhere to set guidelines. Content creators have to make sure their content do not lead members of society out of social and religious norms.”

        todayonline.com

The Censorship Is Especially Targeted On Websites Such As YouTube By Building A Firewall Around It

Image via worldcdn.net

The Home Ministry and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) are working on building a firewall against websites, including YouTube, to ensure that Malaysians don’t get to watch certain content.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said it was vital for content on the Internet, including movies, to suit local culture and sensitivity. “We are working with MCMC on this matter and I urge the commission to implement the system soon,” he said after officiating the 60th anniversary of the censorship board here yesterday.

        themalaymailonline.com

“We are working with MCMC on this matter and I urge the commission to implement the system soon,” said Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi after attending the 60th anniversary of the censorship board in Putrajaya on Sunday. “The public needs to understand that the censorship board has a social responsibility.”

According To The World Press Freedom Index, Malaysia Ranks At A Measly 147th Place By Reporters Without Borders

Image via tnwcdn.com

In 2014, Malaysia was ranked 147th in the Worldwide Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders. It was also given a "Partly Free" status on the Freedom in the World report by Freedom House in 2008. On the Freedom in the World index, graded on a scale of one to seven, with one being the most free and seven being the least, Malaysia obtained four points for both political rights and civil liberties.

        wikipedia.org

Prime Ministers Abdullah Badawi and Najib Razak, on many occasions, have pledged that Internet access in Malaysia will not be censored and that it is up to parents to install their own censorship software and provide education to their children (provide self-censorship). The ISPs also actively deny that there are Internet filters in place when asked. However, the Communications Minister has occasionally announced that they are working on a nationwide filter, but each time such an announcement is made the Prime Minister makes a rebuttal to emphasize that there will be no Internet censorship. The state ministries of Terengganu and Kelantan have also announced that they have statewide filters in place in their respective states.

In 2012, Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Called For The Government To Censor The Internet. He Previously Promised That Malaysia Would Never Censor The Internet To Attract Investors.

Image via themalaysianinsider.com

Putrajaya should rethink absolute freedom on the Internet, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has said, reversing his previous guarantee that Malaysia would never censor online content. The former prime minister, an avid blogger, told The New Sunday Times in an interview published today that countries should now enforce some form of regulatory control to block “filth” and punish those who corrupt the minds of Internet users.

        themalaysianinsider.com

This is why in June 2012, he first said he regretted making that no-Internet-censorship promise, and called for greater regulation. “When I said there should be no censorship of the Internet, I really did not realise the power of the Internet, the power to undermine moral values, the power to create problems and agitate people,” he was quoted as saying by The New Sunday Times. He reiterated that call in his blog on Aug 1 this year, coincidentally after Facebook prevented linking to an earlier blog post of his in which he wrote about the Jews. “Not knowing the power of the Internet, I promised that we (speaking as the Prime Minister of Malaysia) would not censor it. But today I have changed my mind.”

        themalaymailonline.com

“Now it is so porous that we cannot prevent all this filth from coming into our country,” he was reported saying in the interview at Malaysia’s 26th Asia-Pacific Roundtable held at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies last week. Dr Mahathir, who was prime minister for 22 years until 2003, had promised that Malaysia would never censor the Internet in any way as part of a pledge draw investors to develop the Multimedia Super Corridor

        themalaysianinsider.com

This Isn't The First Time The Malaysian Internet Has Been Regulated. Earlier In January, The 'Kangkung' Fiasco Became A Hot Topic In Malaysia. The Article Even Made It On The BBC But It Was Not Accessible By Malaysians

Image via lowyat.net

For this particular article by BBC Trending though as many users out there have reported that they are not able to access it. Sure enough, I’m not able to access the article myself at the time this post is published even after changing the DNS setup from TM’s to Google DNS.  Additionally, no such restriction was imposed on other BBC Trending’s articles which made the situation even more suspicious. Hmm.

#PRU15: Nurul Izzah Tewas Mengejut Di Parlimen Permatang Pauh Kepada Wakil PN

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Calon kerusi Parlimen Permatang Pauh, Nurul Izzah Anwar tewas di kubu kuat keluarganya itu di tangan calon daripada Perikatan Nasional (PN), Muhamad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan

Keputusan mengejutkan itu menyaksikan Nurul Izzah memperoleh 22,918 undi, manakala Muhamad Fawwaz mendapat 28,908 undi.Ia turut ditandingi calon Barisan Nasional (BN), Mohd Zaidi Mohd Said yang memperoleh 12,695 undi, manakala calon Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (PEJUANG), Mohd Nasir Othman hanya mendapat 326 undi.

Sebagai rekod, Permatang Pauh dilihat sebagai kubu kuat Nurul Izzah, apabila kerusi itu dipertahankan ibunya, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail dan bapa, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sejak tahun 2008.Kedua-dua mereka memenangi kerusi ditandingi pada PRU15, iaitu Anwar di Tambun dan Wan Azizah di Bandar Tun Razak.Walaupun banyak nama besar tewas pada pilihan raya ini, kekalahan Nurul Izzah tidak dijangka kerana memiliki populariti dan tarikan kepada pengundi muda.

Pakatan Harapan (PH) Pulau Pinang menyifatkan kekalahan Nurul Izzah sebagai amat menyedihkan

Menurut laporan Sinar Harian, pengerusinya, Chow Kon Yeow berkata, dengan kehilangan kerusi legasi Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) itu, hasrat PH untuk menang di 11 kerusi juga tersasar.Selain di Permatang Pauh katanya, PH turut kalah di Kepala Batas dan Tasek Gelugor."Kita mempertaruhkan 13 kerusi Parlimen dan menyasarkan menang 11 kerusi. Bagaimanapun, kita hanya menang 10 kerusi selepas Nurul Izzah gagal mempertahankan Permatang Pauh."Hasrat kita untuk menang di Kepala Batas dan Tasek Gelugor juga tidak tercapai."Maka pada keseluruhannya ada kecacatan pada pencapaian sasaran kita, namun ini keputusan yang sudah dibuat," katanya.


Do People Who Eat At Their Desk Or On-The-Go Really Tend To Be Fatter?

While it may be a convenient way to fit lunch into a hectic work schedule, a new research published in the Journal of Health Psychology claims that eating at your desk or while walking around could lead to weight gain and obesity in people who are dieting.
However, as with much media science reporting, it's not that simple!

Image via Darrin Zammit Lupi/Reuters

The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Surrey, UK, found that if you're focusing on something other than your food - by, for instance, checking email or updating Facebook - your body will effectively "forget" you've eaten, and thus be hungry later in the day, triggering more overeating. Here are the briefs about the study:

Researchers from the University of Surrey got 60 women who were either dieting or not to eat a cereal bar.The first group munched while watching Friends, the second while walking around a corridor, the third during a chat with a friend.The women who were on a diet ate more snacks, including five times as much chocolate as others, after if they had chomped down the cereal bar while on their feet.

        managementtoday.co.uk

According to Professor Jane Ogden, the lead author of the study:

"Eating on the go may make dieters overeat later on in the day. This may be because walking is a powerful form of distraction which disrupts our ability to process the impact eating has on our hunger. Or it may be because walking, even just around a corridor, can be regarded as a form of exercise which justifies overeating later on as a form of reward.Even though walking had the most impact, any form of distraction, including eating at our desks can lead to weight gain. When we don't fully concentrate on our meals and the process of taking in food, we fall into a trap of mindless eating where we don’t track or recognise the food that has just been consumed."

        cityam.com

Distracted eating.

While previous research has suggested that distraction (eating while watching TV, walking around, talking to friends, etc.) can have a significant impact on food intake, increasing the risk of subsequent overeating, and Professor Jane puts forth a reasonable theory, however, the latest study's findings are far from conclusive

The study only looked at female dieters at a single point in time. And while snacking is often linked with weight gain, it’s not clear extra chocolate would cancel out any weight loss from dieting at the same time.So the research would need repeating over time with men and women on measurable, comparable diets for anything really concrete to be said on the matter. It’s still worth keeping an eye on how much you eat at your desk!

Speaking at the event held at Maria's Steakcafe in 1Powerhouse, inclusive beauty ambassador Nandini Balakrishnan revealed, "This is a cause very close to my heart, as I'm sure it is for many of you here. Inclusive beauty can make us ALL feel seen, truly accepted, and included.""Unfortunately, there is a common misconception that when we talk about inclusive beauty, that it's all about makeup and 'girl stuff'. That cannot be further from the truth," Nandini continued. "Beauty standards affect every layer of our lives, and things can get rough for people who don't fit them.""We're all clearly meant to be made differently, so why not embrace it instead of wanting to all look the same? Visibility, not invisibility. Inclusion, not exclusion," she concluded.

"Silent Killer" - Kenapa Kentut Yang Tak Berbunyi Lebih Berbau? Ini Penjelasan Pakar

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Mengapa kentut seringkali berbau busuk?

Bercakap tentang kentut atau 'buang angin', terdapat beberapa faktor yang menjadi punca mengapa kentut itu boleh berbau busuk.Antaranya ialah berpunca disebabkan makanan tinggi serat, ubat-ubatan, sembelit, pembentukan bakteria dan lain-lain.Lain pula topik kali ini, untaian tweet oleh doktor pakar ini menjadi perbualan hangat dalam kalangan warganet apabila beliau membahaskan berkenaan 'bunyi' kentut di laman Twitternya.Baca ciapan tweet penuh itu di bawah:

 Kentut yang bunyinya kuat jarang berbau.Ini kerana kentut itu mengandungi jumlah gas yang tinggi & tiada berbau seperti N, O2, H, CO2, & methane, Kentut yang tiada bunyi selalunya busuk.Kerana jumlah gas yang rendah & mengandungi gas hydrogen sulfide (pencernaan sulfur).— Khairul Hafidz (@khairul_hafidz) September 30, 2022

Bukan saja bau, punca 'bunyi kentut' juga boleh terjadi disebabkan pengambilan jenis makanan

Menerusi untaian tweet yang dimuat naik oleh doktor @khairul_hafidz di Twitter, perbezaan jumlah gas yang dilepaskan semasa kentut boleh menjadi faktor kepada penghasilan bunyi 'angin' tersebut."Kentut yang bunyinya kuat jarang berbau.Ini kerana kentut itu mengandungi jumlah gas yang tinggi & tiada berbau seperti N, O2, H, CO2, & methane." jelasnya."Kentut yang tiada bunyi selalunya busuk.Kerana jumlah gas yang rendah & mengandungi gas hydrogen sulfide (pencernaan sulfur)." tulis doktor Khairul di Twitternya.

5 Reasons Why Some People Still Get Away With Child Marriage In Malaysia

The 41-year-old Kelantanese man, who recently "married" an 11-year-old girl, said he had wanted to wed the girl since she was merely seven years old

Image via Kosmo

"I told myself, 'One day I will take this girl as my wife', and I did so four years later," Che Abdul Karim Che Abdul Hamid was quoted as saying by Berita Harian, who had taught Al-Quran to the girl since she was little.Furthermore, Che Abdul Karim is one step closer to cementing the legal status of his relationship with the girl in Malaysia after submitting marriage documents to the religious office in Gua Musang, Kelantan last week.

Image via Utusan Online

Hence, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail was not wrong when she said that the government is "powerless" in blocking the legalisation of the marriage."Legally it is not valid, but under the Islamic laws it is," Wan Azizah was quoted as saying by theSun.

The controversial marriage is just the latest addition to a legalised epidemic in Malaysia

Image via Kehakiman/New Straits Times

Marriages of non-Muslims are subjected to the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, while Muslim marriages are regulated under the Islamic family laws of each state. Hence, there is a difference in uniformity between the civil and Syariah laws for marriages in Malaysia.According to a report by Sisters In Islam (SIS), 152,835 teenagers between 15 and 19 years old were recorded to be in a marriage in the 2010 Population and Housing Census. It was also revealed that the Malay Muslims are the most afflicted by the practice.

Image via Sisters In Islam

On top of the difference in uniformity of laws regulating marriages, SIS reported the National Fatwa Council as failing to label child marriage as "haram" (prohibited) back in 2014 despite discouraging the practice. Moreover, although the calls for law reform on child marriages in Malaysia are not new, it remains hindered due to a combination of religious and moral stigmatisation of sexual activity outside marriage.

Therefore, Malaysia's legal framework has not been able to effectively criminalise child marriage. Here's why:

1. Minimal punishment

Che Abdul Karim was slapped with a mere RM1,800 fine for the charges of marrying a minor without consent from a Syariah Court, and for engaging in polygamy without permission of his spouse. According to Kelantan's Islamic Family Law, Che Abdul Karim's offences only carry a maximum of six months' imprisonment each, or a fine of up to RM1,000, or both.

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via My Legal Web

Punishments could even be avoided completely as having sexual intercourse with when one is married to a minor is not considered as statutory rape in Malaysia, according to SIS. Although having sexual relations with a girl under 16 years old is prosecutable under Section 375 of the Penal Code for statutory rape, the provision exempts sexual intercourse between a man with his wife.

2. No minimum age

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Free Malaysia Today

It is stipulated in Islamic family laws that marriages involving individuals under the age of 18 and 16 may be approved at the discretion of a Syariah Court judge. This loophole basically means that there is no minimum age of marriage for Muslims. For instance, the Islamic family law for Selangor states that a Syariah judge may grant his or her permission to underage marriage "in certain circumstances". This, combined with the loose enforcement of the Penal Code on statutory rape, means that Muslim children are highly vulnerable to being married off at a tender age.

3. Parents are allowed to apply for marriage on behalf of their children

The marriage application can be "easily" made by either the couple or their parents at any state religious department, according to Malay Mail. SIS also reported that parents' testimonies before the Syariah Court are often accepted as sufficient in the application for underage marriages. The child involved might not even get asked to appear in Court.

4. No guidelines for Syariah judges in assessing underage marriage applications

Although Syariah Court judges are empowered to allow underage marriages under "certain circumstances", the grounds on which approvals are given to such couples have never been made clear.Free Malaysia Today reported former Syariah High Court judge Datuk Ismail Yahya as justifying the lack of clarity by citing the privacy of children in underaged marriages.However, SIS revealed that getting that approval of the Syariah Court is not hard at all. According to the Malaysian Shariah Judiciary Department (JKSM), the approval rate for child marriages was at 81% in 2015.

5. Difference in Islamic understanding of puberty

Last year, Tasek Gelugor Member of Parliament (MP) Datuk Shabudin Yahaya said that some girls "reach puberty" at as young as nine years old.His statement reflects a conventional interpretation of the Syariah law by claiming that Aishah was only nine years old when she married the Prophet Muhammad. This is also widely used as a justification by supporters of child marriage, where reaching puberty is considered a criterion for getting married in Islam, regardless of the child's age.

Tasek Gelugor MP Datuk Shabudin Yahaya
Image via New Straits Times

However, SIS reported Ismail as listing a few signs of puberty under Surah al-Nisa' and a hadith in Al-Fiqh Al-Islamiwa-adillatuh:- intelligence,- ability to care for their own properties,- wet dreams,- pubic hair growth,- menstruation and the ability to get pregnant.

On the issue of minimum age, Ismail also noted that various hadiths have different age requirements, ranging between 15 and 18 years old. Lawyer and activist Siti Kasim also said that it is "impossible" to know how old Aishah was when she married the Prophet Muhammad."Taking all known accounts and records of Aishah's age at marriage, estimates of her age range from nine to 19," she added.Hence, the justification of child marriage with the sole reason of hitting puberty remains a non-conclusive issue.

Nonetheless, not all hope is lost after Putrajaya announced earlier today, 18 July, that it will be standardising the guidelines for Syariah Court judges nationwide in assessing applications for underage marriage

Previously, the government had viewed the problem of child marriage as "complex" due to the dual legal system on marriages in Malaysia."We are developing an SOP (standard operating procedure) for Syariah judges in approving an underaged marriage with the utmost goal of protecting the child's wellbeing," Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Fuziah Salleh was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.The SOP will include health checks on physical, psychological, and emotional state of the child. Furthermore, it will also determine the reasons for an underaged marriage, and look into the financial status of the child's family.

Here's to the first of many steps to end child marriage in Malaysia.


Want To Look Younger? Just Close Your Eyes And Put Some Snails On Your Face

Did you know that Thailand is one of the world's top spa destinations?

The World's Best Spas 2014 Winners List

So it's no surprise when the latest beauty craze is birthed out of Thailand. Say hello to snail facials, which is dubbed the "next big thing" in beauty.

Image via dailymail.co.uk

That this latest addition to the global beauty and wellness craze – snail facials – should surface in the hills of northern Thailand is only natural. This south-east Asian country ranks among the world’s top spa destinations, with massage treatments of every description offered around just about every corner. Other members of the animal kingdom are also enlisted, including fish, at some 4,000 pedicure spas.

        theguardian.com

The AP agrees, calling snail facials the “next big thing” in beauty.

        dallasnews.com

In the United States, injecting snail serum could set a customer around USD300 per shot

New Yorkers are paying $300-350, per session, for snail serum injections these days. At least that’s what a Fox affiliate says.

        dallasnews.com

But thanks to two enterprising Frenchmen in Chiang Mai, they have started a snail spa using real snails and only charge USD30, a steal compared to what customers pay in the United States

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Appropriately, given the French passion for these gastropods, the spa was started last year by two Frenchmen who had imported 100 of them from home. The colony now boasts more than 30,000, munching on chemically free carrots, cabbage and aloe on a certified organic farm.

        mashable.com

Image via dailymail.co.uk

'We take care of the snails as if they were our family, our babies. You can see they look very good,' says Luc Champeyroux, one of the partners, gently applying one to his forearm. He does confess to eating escargots ('but not mine'), plans to breed some for the table and is currently experimenting to produce 'the perfect snail caviar.' A chosen few get plucked from the farm for duty at the spa, where I opted for the 45-minute Snail Spa Celebrity Course. For $30, it's a bargain compared to the $200 customers must shell out at Tokyo's Ci:z.Labo, a beauty salon where snail massage made its debut in 2013. Spas have also opened in China and London, and the French duo are expanding to Bangkok next month.

This unusual facial method is said to date back in the times of Ancient Greece, where the great physician Hippocrates used crushed snails to aid skin inflammations

While the facials are new, concoctions made from snail mucus are said to date back to ancient Greece, when the great physician Hippocrates reportedly crushed snails and sour milk as a cure for skin inflammations. In recent times, the French have turned this essence of escargot into assorted creams and lotions.

        dailymail.co.uk

Champeyroux, a manager in France's nuclear power sector before falling in love with Chiang Mai some years ago, says his all-natural line of snail products, Coquille, acts against burns, acne, stretch marks, scars and aging. The two women next to me concurred.

Taksaphan na Pohn, a 22-year-old recent university graduate, said she had earlier tried laser and other techno-treatments but after some research decided that “natural therapy” was better. She said snails helped clear her acne when she was stressed during her studies.“My face is firmer and softer,” she said. “But you don’t get immediate results. It shows gradually.”

        theguardian.com

However, there are dermatologists who question the credibility of the therapy, stating that there are not enough research to prove those claims actually work on the skin

Image via dailymail.co.uk

The fluid, exuded by snails when under stress, is known to contain beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, but Bangkok-based Dr. Dissapong Panithaporn and other dermatologists say that there has been no significant scientific research on how these actually work when applied to the skin.

6 Quick Facts You Need To Know About The New HTC One M9

1. It has a brand new 20 Megapixel camera on the back and a 4 UltraPixel camera on the front

Image via vox-cdn.com

The One M9 comes with a 20 megapixel sensor with a sapphire glass lens to protect against micro scratching, which it needs because the lens does protrude from the back a bit. The 4 UltraPixel sensor, which is HTC's in house imaging hardware that was on the back of previous HTC Ones, is now on the front. The thinking is HTC's UltraPixels will be better because of its improved ability in lowlight. Also at an arm's length, you won't be needing too many pixels anyways.

        gizmodo.com

2. It has a faster processor

Image via kinja-img.com

The spec sheet sees a number of incremental bumps. Qualcomm's octa-core Snapdragon 810 CPU is doing the heavy lifting here, supported by 3GB of RAM, and the M9 also sees the welcome addition of Android 5.0 Lollipop, although the presence of HTC's Sense skin means users won't see such a dramatic aesthetic change between 4.4 and 5.0.

        engadget.com

3. The battery life has been given a slight boost

Image via arstechnica.net

The battery capacity has also been bumped up from 2,600mAh to 2,840mAh, which, when combined with the new Snapdragon, will hopefully see the M9 last a full day with ease.

        engadget.com

4. The M9 looks almost the same as its predecessor, the M8

The iPhone on the left for comparison together with the HTC One M8 in the centre and the HTC One M9 on the right.
Image via vox-cdn.com

On the surface, the One M9 is difficult to distinguish from the One M8 preceding it. The display’s 1080p resolution and 5-inch size haven’t changed, and neither have the BoomSound speaker grilles that surround it. The brushed aluminum case also looks thoroughly familiar, which is quite intentional from HTC. The Taiwanese company wants to "build an icon" around an instantly recognizable and widely appreciated design, the same way that Porsche and Volkswagen have done with their cars.

        theverge.com

5. The phone will come with Android's latest Operating System, Lollipop

Image via kinja-img.com

The new One M9 will, of course, ship with HTC's Lollipop-influenced Sense 7 UI.

        gizmodo.com

6. Theming is big on the M9, where users can change the look of their device whenever they want

Image via kinja-img.com

The other major addition is a theme store. Sense had theme support for a while, but now there's a central, HTC-run repository of all these apps for users to browse. Users can follow their favorite theme creators and be notified of updates and new designs in order to change the look of their device whenever they want.

This Man's Eyeballs Were Injected To Give Him The Ability To See In The Dark

A team of biohackers have successfully figured out a way to inject our eyeballs with a simple chemical mixture to allow us temporary sense of night vision. The procedure has allowed one superhuman to temporarily see over 164 feet in the dark, according to Mic.

The group called Science for the Masses theorised that they could enhance healthy eyesight enough that it would induce night vision. To do this, the group used a kind of chlorophyll analog called Chlorin e6 (or Ce6), which is found in some deep-sea fish and is used as an occasional method to treat night blindness, Mic reported.According to io9, back in 2012 a patent was filed by Totada R. Shantha on a mixture that, when absorbed by the retina, would act to induce night vision — the ability to see nearby objects in low light conditions. The patent holders claimed it was safe to use for treating a condition known as night blindness, but also for improving night vision in healthy people.The Science for the Masses hackers basically used this same formula, but they created their own concoction by adding both insulin and dimethlysulfoxide (which increases permeability) to the saline solution (normally, just insulin is used in conjunction with Ce6 and saline), io9 reported. The compound works by influencing the way our retina's light-sensing rods work in the dark."Going off that research, we thought this would be something to move ahead with," the lab's medical officer, Jeffrey Tibbetts, told Mic. "There are a fair amount of papers talking about having it injected in models like rats, and it's been used intravenously since the '60s as a treatment for different cancers. After doing the research, you have to take the next step."To do so, team biochem researcher Gabriel Licina became a guinea pig.

How it happened:

Image via MIC

With what's basically a really fine turkey baster, Tibbetts slowly dripped 50 microliters of Ce6, an extremely low dose, into Licina's speculum-stretched eyes, aiming for the conjunctival sac, which carried the chemical to the retina.

        mic.com

Max Plenke from Mic spoke to Licina about what happened next:

Image via io9

"To me, it was a quick, greenish-black blur across my vision, and then it dissolved into my eyes," Licina told Mic.And then they waited. From the patent they read, the effects start kicking in within an hour. Licina and Tibbetts had done their research, going so far as to post a paper called "A Review on Night Enhancement Eyedrops Using Chlorin e6." But they are, after all, a bunch of guys working out of a garage. So they went out to a dark field and tested Licina's new superpowers.Did it work? Yes. It started with shapes, hung about 10 meters away. "I'm talking like the size of my hand," Licina says. Before long, they were able to do longer distances, recognizing symbols and identifying moving subjects against different backgrounds."The other test, we had people go stand in the woods," he says. "At 50 meters, we could figure out where they were, even if they were standing up against a tree." Each time, Licina had a 100% success rate. The control group, without being dosed with Ce6, only got them right a third of the time.

While as fascinating as it sounds, as the do-it-yourselfers point out, you need to be very careful if you wish to try this at home

"You can see the black smudge of a little bit of solution on my face where a bit dripped out," writes Licina at the group's website. "If it looks like my eyes hurt, they did. I think that was just from the speculum tho…"
Image via io9

"Increased light amplification may have adverse effects on the cellular structure of the eye if improperly used and the some of the materials used in this mixture should not be used on humans or animals." The purpose of the study was for "research and informative purposes only."

        io9.com

What are it's potential applications? There are many.

Image via Daily Mail

In addition to treating disease, Ce6 could be used to enhance night vision in soldiers, night patrollers, police, night drivers, factory workers, and anyone else involved in work, travel, and fun after the sun goes down.

Fake Laundry Detergent Worth Over RM4,800 Seized. Here's How To Check If Yours Is Genuine

A recent raid by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs seized 651 units of counterfeit laundry powder worth RM4,882.50

According to New Straits Times, the fake goods were discovered during an inspection on a residential premise in Cheras. The counterfeit powder detergent had the registered trademark 'TOP' branding, without the authority or consent of TOP detergent manufacturer, Southern Lion, or its principal in Japan.Southern Lion is advising consumers to only buy TOP powder detergent from reputable retailers and trusted online stores.

Image via TOP (provided to SAYS)

The ministry had acted on intelligence from representatives of Southern Lion and its principal in Japan, where there was suspicion that unauthorised products bearing the 'TOP' trademark were being sold at cheap prices via social media flash sale sites.In a Facebook post, TOP Detergent assured fans that "safety and quality of [their] products is a priority that [they] will not compromise."

Dear fans, please take note!  Southern Lion has been alerted of a syndicate selling counterfeit TOP Micro-Clean Tech...Posted by TOP Detergent Malaysia on Monday, 27 July 2020

The TOP detergent range is known for its superior quality and innovative Japanese detergent technology. However, the counterfeit powder detergent was found to be of low quality, while the packaging had numerous spelling mistakes.

In a bid to eradicate counterfeiters, who mislead, scam, and endanger the public, Southern Lion is embarking on an education and awareness programme to help consumers identify genuine powder detergent.

Image via TOP (provided to SAYS)

According to Southern Lion, the easiest way to identify genuine TOP powder detergent is from the packaging

Image via TOP Detergent Malaysia/Facebook

Genuine TOP packaging is machine-packed and cut; as such, the edges on the genuine packaging will not have perfect perforation, whereas the counterfeit products do.So, be sure to check the top seal of TOP powder detergent to easily detect fakes. Remember, a perfect "zig-zag" is fake.And of course, to ensure you're purchasing genuine TOP products, always shop from reputable retailers and trusted online stores.

Woman Gets Revenge By Losing 40KG And Divorcing Husband Who Fat-Shamed Her

Park Jee Won is a single mother in South Korea, who recently went viral for her phenomenal weight loss journey

In 2014, she gave birth to a baby girl. However, her life turned upside down as her husband would often insult her for gaining weight during the pregnancy.Battling postpartum depression, Park, who was a fitness and yoga instructor, decided to get back in shape and divorce her husband.She has kept a healthier lifestyle since then, while single-handedly raising her daughter.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by   (@love__lean) on Jul 10, 2018 at 7:40pm PDT

Attributing it to the hormones, Park ate a lot during the pregnancy and weighed 86.6kg by the end of it

She also suffered from a spinal disc problem during the pregnancy which was so painful that she could not exercise, she shared on Facebook.After giving birth to her daughter, she then suffered from postpartum depression which made her unhealthy eating habits spiral out of control, according to China Press.

To make matters worse, Park's husband was unsupportive and began to criticise her about the weight gain

As an attempt to regain her husband's affection, Park decided to slowly and steadily begin exercising again while adhering to a strict diet to lose the weight she put on during her pregnancy.According to Koreaboo, she gave up on rice, exercised, and ate five to six small portions of food every day.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by   (@love__lean) on Jul 9, 2016 at 8:44pm PDT

After 10 months, she lost a whopping 40kg, bringing her total weight down to 46kg

She emphasised that she has never been to a plastic surgeon and that she lost all her weight through exercise and dieting.

However, her husband remained equally critical even after the transformation

"You scare me, looking at you gives me goosebumps," he reportedly told her once.Feeling disheartened, Park finally decided to divorce him and raise their daughter alone.

She now runs her own YouTube and Instagram account, where she has been sharing weight loss tips, recipes, and photos of herself and her daughter.
