Malaysia Airports Bhd has apologised to a Malaysian traveller who was subjected to strict dress code requirements at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), saying that the airport authority did not impose such regulations on passengers.Instead, MAB said that the dress code only applied to members of the public requesting visitor passes to enter the terminal on official visits or for work purposes.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Responding to Malay Mail Online’s query on the latest dress code controversy, MAHB clarified that there are rules on attire being enforced at KLIA but these were not meant for passengers.“We have investigated the matter and found that it was a miscommunication on the implementation of a policy pertaining to the issuance of visitor passes at our airports. First and foremost, the dress code applies for public requesting for visitor passes to enter the terminal for any official visits or work purposes. However, the dress code does not apply to passengers passing through our airports,” MAHB said in a statement.The firm explained that the mix-up occurred when the complainant, blogger and businessman Wilson Ng, applied for a visitor pass in order to re-enter the terminal to retrieve his luggage from the lost-and-found section. MAHB also issued an apology to Ng.

        themalaymailonline.com

In the incident last month, businessman Wilson Ng returned from a holiday abroad and forgot his baggage at the airport.He returned to KLIA the following day but was denied entry into the Lost and Found Department on the pretext that his pink, knee-length shorts were not appropriate.In a blog posting, Ng said he was then told to wear a pair of pants and shoes provided to him by the security officer, which he wore to gain entry.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“This took me by surprise and I was shocked and upset over their request as my house was not near KLIA. I told the guard that I was not told about any dress code when I called up a day before there was nothing mentioned about the dress code and there is nothing mentioned on the website as well.“Because I insisted they told me that they have pants and shoes that I could wear. So I wore the pants that I could not zip and shoes without socks, I went to get my security tag and went into the lost and found baggage office,” he wrote.

Indecent meh?" she asked in reference to her dressing in the photograph.Tan said while she was at the counter to get a queue number when she was handed a sarong to wear "or they would not entertain me"."So, I looked like this, a bag! Only to sit in front of a counter window where only (the) top part of my body (was) visible to the officer, I do not know if I should laugh or cry," she said. Tan did not say which JPJ office, nor the time or date she was there.

Following which, on 9 June, a JPJ public relations officer told The Star that they're investigating the woman's complaint and will look into the matter and obtain a report from the office involved

“We are investigating when and where the incident happened. If we know where it happened, we want a report from that office.”

        thestar.com.my

When asked if there was a dress code for JPJ customers, he said:

“We have to dress accordingly, based on the dress code of entering a government premises. In some of our offices, a dress code signboard is put up on the walls of these offices. I believe there was one in this office.”

        themalaymailonline.com

According to The Malay Mail:

Government departments and agencies regularly enforce dress codes and will refuse service or even entry to those who do not comply.

        themalaymailonline.com

However, whether or not there was an official dress code for people visiting JPJ office, the government department has now published a dress code that prohibits even men from wearing sleeveless shirts

The dress code published on JPJ’s Facebook page.

JPJ, although, did not mention its reasons for the dress code:

“Visitors must dress neatly, cleanly and in accordance with Malaysian practice,” the RTD dress code read. “Practise decent dressing (T-shirts, collared T-shirts, shoes, long trousers, long skirts below the knee), especially during official business at offices at complexes.“Visitors are prohibited from wearing indecent clothes or clothes that expose the flesh, such as the following: skirt lengths above the knee or shorts, sleeveless shirts, tight shorts or skirts and slippers,” it added.

        themalaymailonline.com

However, Suzanne wasn't the only one.
Another woman, Pang told SAYS that she was prohibited by the security guard at Selayang Municipal Council from entering its premises and was also passed a sarong to wear when she visited its office today, 10 June.

She was there to submit her documents related to business licencing. According to Ms. Pang, the security guard there pointed at the signboard and told her that "It's clearly stated that the dress must be over the knee, then only you are allowed to go up."The guard then continued saying, "You must go back and change your attire now, or wear our sarong.""I was quite upset, looking at my dress, indeed my dress isn't over my knee, but it's still considered a proper office attire. And this is not the first time I'm wearing this to government offices. So I checked with the guard again as to why I could wear this last week but not this week?"He said, YDP just gave an order that whole of Malaysia's office must follow these rules. "So even if I allow you to go up, when the office staff see your attire, they will still ignore you. So do you still want to change to our Sarong?" the guard asked her again.

What sort of dress Ms. Pang was wearing? This:

Image via Snowpiano Pang

Ms. Pang, who wondered if it's a valid reason to reject a visitor, then calmly asked the guard, "can you tell me what's wrong with a female wearing a skirt? I just want to know. Because even though my dress is different from your signboard, why is it wrong?"

"Sorry, I can't help. I'm just following the rules," the guard told her. She then asked him, if she can't go up, can he ask his officer to come down? He said he doesn't think the officer will come down."I came here to settle my business license application. If you think my dress is a problem and don't allow me to go up, please ask the officer to come down and get the document from me, I'll wait here," she said, insisting that she doesn't think her dress has a problem. "This is an office dress, I won't go back and change, and I wont take your sarong, and today I must submit this document. That's it."While she was telling him all this, another guard came and asked her the same questions, whether she wants to change the dress. She answered him the same thing. "I just want to submit my document."There was an officer passing by. The guards then stopped him and explained him the situation. Then this officer told Ms. Pang, "no problem, let me handle it." She followed the officer and got her papers done.

On the dress code issue, Liow Tiong Lai, Transport Minister and a Member of Parliament for Bentong, Pahang, posted on his FB page that he regrets "that this dress code issue has taken place."

"I have directed for an investigation to be conducted immediately and for action to be taken," the former Health Minister wrote.He further added that "there is no such thing as a sarong policy. We should not impose unnecessary dress code guidelines on the public. There is an immediate need to review existing guidelines."

Speaking with SAYS, Ms. Pang told us that after she lodged a formal complaint, one of the officer got in touch with her through call and told her that they will refer the case to YDP.

Here's how YOU can help using your computer:

1. Use the tracing service deployed by the International Committee of the Red Cross. It allows anyone to search for missing relatives or to report that they are alive.

2. On Saturday, Facebook activated its Safety Check. It's a service that notifies you if any of your friends are in one of the areas affected by the earthquake, and asks whether you want to check on them. It allows you to mark them safe if you know they're OK.

3. There's also Google's Person Finder. It's a crowdsourced database that allows anyone to report the names of people who may be missing using either a computer or mobile phone. The platform was tracking about 6,400 names as of Tuesday morning.

4. Use the Humanitarian Digital Exchange platform. It was launched last summer by the UN Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs with the goal of enabling humanitarian agencies to upload, analyse, and share data that can sharpen their ability to target relief efforts.

So far the exchange has logged 28 sets of data about Nepal, including information about education facilities in the Kathmandu Valley, roads, health and educational facilities, rivers and local governmental units.

5. But above all, use the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap. It's currently mapping Nepal's road networks, buildings, residential areas, and open spaces with the goal of connecting communities and accommodating helicopter landings and relief efforts throughout the affected region. It's wiki page lists tasks and instructions for anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to participate.

In case you need assitance, this tutorial shows how to use OpenStreetMap, the tool for adding information to the relief effort maps, whether by looking at online satellite maps from another continent or contributing data from the field.

A Guy Shares Photos Of Earphones His Cat Broke And Cat Owners On The Internet Can Relate

On Tuesday, 20 August, a Twitter user shared two photos side by side - one was of his broken earphones and the other was a photo of his cat who broke it

Image via Twitter @mesinpuisi

The tweet by @mesinpuisi has since garnered 9,500 retweets and 10,400 likes.

The tweet prompted other cat owners to share photos of their own naughty kitties, but seriously you just can't get mad at their cute af faces:

One person wrote, "Same situation. Broke my earphones and then pretended to be asleep. I'm so mad but look at how cute [it is]."

Image via Twitter @Only_RizZ

This user replied, "Same!"

Image via Twitter @itszatii

"It's barely been a week since I've started using it and now it's like this," said another netizen.

Image via Twitter @nurhaqilahqym2

Meanwhile, this cat skipped the earphones and broke its owner's glasses instead.

"My cat broke my glasses and I've been blind for two days now," this user wrote.

Image via Twitter @DaniaQar

"Here's the culprit."

Image via Twitter @DaniaQar

At least this cat tried to apologise:

"I've already replaced it, if you break it again I'll claw you."

Malaysian Grab Driver With A Speech Disorder Writes Cute Note To Explain It To Passengers

We've heard of several recent GrabFood riders who work hard despite having disabilities

Last month, netizens praised a wheelchair-bound delivery man for delivering food even though he is unable to walk.Earlier this month, another wheelchair-bound GrabFood delivery woman went viral for going above and beyond for customers despite suffering from cerebral palsy.

Image via Berita Harian Singapura/Facebook

This time, a man from Miri, Sarawak who has a speech disability has gone viral for an adorable note he wrote for his passengers

Facebook user Eve SH shared photos of him and his note on Miri Community's Facebook page, which has since garnered over 5,400 shares.Here's a photo of the Grab driver:

Image via Eve SH/Facebook

In his note, the driver introduces himself to passengers in an unconventional manner

He wrote: "Dear passengers, you may have noticed that I'm a very quiet guy. That's because I believe Silence is Golden. I'm actually so hilarious. I'm the only one who gets my jokes."The driver then went on to explain his type of disability. "The truth is I was born with a speech problem. After words have been formed in my brain, it takes a long time for them to be sent to my mouth to be spoken out," he wrote, adding jokingly that his "audio system" is somehow "wrongly wired".

Image via Eve SH/Facebook

He continued by reassuring passengers that his disability however, does not affect his ability to drive

"[I'm] certainly not deaf. My eyesight is sharp and my mind is clear. So, be rest assured that you're in safe hands when you sit in my car. I can bring you safely to your destination," he wrote.

He even took the opportunity to list down three types of rides passengers can select from: Silent ride, Therapy ride, and Friendly ride

Under 'Therapy ride', the driver wrote: "If you are having a bad day, my ears are all yours. And so are my shoulders for you to cry on."And if passengers select 'Friendly ride', the man wrote that he can smile and wink in the rearview mirror from time to time.He ended his note by thanking passengers for taking his humble Grab car service.

The netizen captioned her Facebook post commending the driver for being "innovative" and "funny".

Not all heroes wear capes, as seen by this GrabFood rider's simple act of kindness:

"The words he said touched my heart deep inside," the rider said.

"Mic Drop" — Malaysian Recruiter Shares Why SPM Grads Shouldn't Glorify Bad Results

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

Marking the end of an era, the retrieval of SPM results somewhat signifies a new beginning for secondary schoolers all around Malaysia

Last Thursday, 16 June 2022, all SPM candidates for the 2021 examination session received their final results after completing the long and arduous process.While many celebrated their successes, others took to social media to somewhat "boast" about their results, that weren't anything to scream about — not in the good way at least.From sharing a straight "G" (meaning "Gagal", or a fail grade) slip, to one student posting how they did not attend any of their examinations, receiving a string of "T" marks (meaning "Tidak Hadir", or not in attendance), some candidates are seemingly proud of the fact that their poor results differentiated them from the crowd.

Image via TheSmartLocal

One Malaysian recruiter took to TikTok, and dissected how boasting about such bad results can end up adversely affecting your future prospects

Travel and beauty blogger, Reina Lum, recently shared a TikTok video addressing the trend that has young SPM grads proudly posting their failures on social media. Working as a recruiter and running her own luxe hair studio business, Reina briefly discussed the reality for those who carelessly take their SPM examination for granted, and quite literally, toss their future prospects away.In the two-minute video, she shares each point, and details them one-by-one, with pointers as to what recruiters take from such a display.

Image via @reinalum (TikTok)

While Reina agreed that SPM isn't a 'make-or-break' factor to ones life, failing many subjects doesn't send a good message to potential employers

"[If you're racking up failures, it shows that you didn't even try]. It's a serious red flag for recruiters", she said in the video.Continuing on, she noted that producing bad grades would automatically limit your future opportunities in the workforce, and in furthering ones tertiary education, "Off the bat, I can say that you're limiting your job opportunities. Even if you have the [money to pay for it, you still wouldn't qualify for it]." Embellishing on the very true reality of college admissions all around the world, almost every university seeking to enrol students for their courses require a minimum grade point average, or more commonly known as GPA. A string of failures, probably wouldn't garner acceptance anywhere.

An undisclosed TikTok user who shared their straight "G" SPM results.

"I hire for positions that don't require tertiary education, but if these are your results, [I'd be scared to even hire you as a cashier]"

Speaking on the common proclamation by the public, regarding how 'studying isn't for everyone, some people prefer to work', Reina dropped some truth bombs over how failing almost every subject, can't always be justified to employers."I cannot justify this [in the] corporate world. [Even if we wanted to give you a job, we couldn't]."Proceeding to confront the ideology that those who insist on their success regardless of their SPM results, Reina agreed with the sentiment, though the saying doesn't always align itself with reality."When you work in companies, and you want to get that promotion, they will definitely look at your qualifications. There's always a limit to what you can get without your tertiary education. Like it or not, that is how the system works."

Image via @reinalum (TikTok)

Closing the discussion by orating about those who insist on starting personal businesses as a means to their success, Reina stated, as a business owner herself, that people should stop romanticising and underestimating the pursuit of carrying out their own line of work."It is so hard to make your business a success, [don't assume that everything is easy]."Encapsulated within the caption on the video, Reina wrote that saving to begin a venture is a difficult feat, and that the average number of business owners that lead to carrying out successful businesses are just a small percentile of those who begin it.

Image via @reinalum (TikTok)

Ending her video, Reina stated that studying and gaining academic knowledge is important to ones forecast for success.
And most importantly, she urged SPM grads to stop taking pride in performing badly for major examinations.

Urging, especially, the younger generation to start hitting the books to ensure they do not fall victim to the potential outcome of bad results, Reina's message was simple when acknowledging this bizarre trend, "Stop it". Reina's TikTok video has been viewed almost 300,000 times, and has racked up over 38,600 likes since she shared it five days ago.

33-Year-Old Man Caught Trying To Dump The Body Of His Lover's 13-Year-Old Daughter

Around 5.55pm, Tuesday, 9 December, a 13-year-old girl was found murdered after police stumbled upon a man trying to dispose of the victim's body in a forested area along Jalan Perlis in Kuala Baram

According to Sarawak CID Chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Dev Kumar, the suspect was spotted acting suspiciously outside his car by a police patrol team on rounds.The boot of his Proton Iswara was left open. After seeing the police patrol car, the man immediately shut the boot of his car and sped off.A 5km-long chase ensued before the suspect's car was cornered at a junction in Miri Port by the patrol team, where they instructed the man to open the car boot."Policemen ordered the suspect to get out of the car and found the dead girl in the boot," Dev Kumar said, adding that the suspect was arrested forthwith.

Image via The Malay Mail Online

The victim, a Form One schoolgirl, was the daughter of the man's girlfriend. There were signs of strangulation around her neck.

Police believe that she was strangled during an argument with the suspect.The 33-year-old suspect, who is the boyfriend of the victim’s mother, strangled her at about 11am Tuesday at a rented house in Permyjaya, Miri, where the suspect had been staying with the mother and her two daughters."At the time of the murder, the mother had gone to work and the sister was at school. The victim was alone with the suspect," Dev Kumar said in a statement.

The suspect, who is from KL, works at a furniture shop Miri

It was reported that during the argument with the little girl, the man became aggressive and choked the victim to death."In an attempt to hide the murderous act, the man wanted to dump the body of the victim in the bushes, but his attempt was foiled by the patrol team," Dev said.

M'sian City Life #12: This Law Graduate Is Cutting Grass In SG Just To Support His Family

23-year-old Muhaimin Zulkarnain was on his way back from a job interview in KL when he got into a taxi. The ride would have been like any other, had he not met the driver and had that meaningful conversation with him.

Photo for illustration purposes only.
Image via Poskod

Muhaimin, who is from Johor, graduated last year and is currently working part-time at a cinema while searching for "the perfect job".He had just completed an interview for a job as a Field Biologist, and was heading to his alma mater for an event when he managed to strike up a conversation with the taxi driver on his way there."The taxi driver was a very friendly and honest elderly uncle," Muhaimin recalled."I can't remember how the conversation started but he was very talkative and we started discussing careers and education."

The conversation took an interesting turn when Muhaimin discovered that the taxi driver has a son who studied law but is now working as a tukang potong rumput (grass cutter) in Singapore

"Upon graduation, the son couldn't find a suitable job in Malaysia to support his family," Muhaimin said.  The taxi driver told Muhaimin that some employers in the law industry were, in fact, interested in hiring new employees, but they were only prepared to offer a thousand  ringgit or lesser, per month.  His son, who was a fresh graduate then, decided to go to Singapore to work as a tukang potong rumput simply because he did not want to live off his father's money. He was eager to support his family.

The son, who spent a few years cutting grass in Singapore, continued looking for a relevant job in Malaysia, but to his disappointment most employers were not interested in hiring him due to his irrelevant job experience

"He made SGD1,000 each month, which was equivalent to almost RM3,000," Muhaimin said.  According to Muhamin, the taxi driver's son worked in Singapore for a few years and collected enough money to sustain himself and his family. So, he returned to Malaysia to look for a job in the law field. "Unfortunately for him, no law firm would want to take someone with no experience in law and has been cutting grass for the past couple of years." With little hope left in Malaysia, the taxi driver's son went back to Singapore to continue cutting grass every day, with a promise of SGD1,000 every month.

"He may not be a lawyer but I am proud of my son because he did what he had to do to support himself and the family," the taxi driver told Muhaimin.

"Some people were saying that this type of people are lazy. How is this true?" asked the taxi driver.  "The reality is that we all need to do something to survive, especially due to the unstable state of the economy," he continued."Some cut grass, some wash cars. I drive a taxi. Just because people see it as a low-level job, doesn't mean it's a bad job," the taxi driver concluded.

The insightful conversation with the taxi driver came to an end as Muhaimin arrived at his destination. They bid goodbye and the taxi driver wished Muhaimin good luck.

Right after he was dropped off by the taxi driver, Muhaimin took a picture with a back drop that says “Lets Get Real” at Taylor's University.
Image via Muhaimin Zulkarnain

Recalling the incident, Muhaimin said, "We do not know the circumstances that the son went through during that phase in his life. Maybe he was going through something difficult and didn't have the chance to "start-from-the-bottom" and climb up the corporate ladder." "Please keep in mind that his father is a taxi driver, a very kind and honest one too. I didn't ask about the mother's profession, nor did I ask whether or not he has other siblings or mouths to feed. I just assumed they needed money urgently right after he graduated. So he had to do what he had to do." "I guess some of us, including myself, are more blessed than others. We could live comfortably with our parents and live off the family's savings while we pursue our passion and gain experience in our career even though the pay isn't sufficient. But not everyone has the same privilege or opportunity," Muhaimin said.

"We all face different problems in our life and will have to find different solutions to solve them. All for a better tomorrow."

[VIDEO] 7-Year-Old Boy In Need Of An Arm Gets Fist Bump Of The Century From Tony Stark

Leading bionics expert Tony Stark might have built a bad-a** Iron Man suit to save the world, but it still doesn't beat this 3D-printed bionic arm built by volunteer organisation Limbitless Solutions

Image via Twitter: robertdowneyjr

Under the guise of his Marvel alter-ego, actor Robert Downey Jr. teamed up with Limbitless founder Albert Manero to present seven-year-old Alex Pring - who was born with a partially developed right arm - with his very own Iron Man-inspired bionic arm

Image via Facebook: Limbitless Solutions

Manero spent a few weeks using the hashtag #CollectiveProject to ask for support in helping Alex, and in doing so he managed to attract the attention of one of the world’s leading bionics experts who was ready to pitch in — some might know him as Iron Man.

        hellogiggles.com

Not one to be left out of the fun, RDJ donned a matching arm... and even shared the fist bump of the century with Alex!

Image via Facebook: Limbitless Solutions

Alex's arm was designed and created by Limbitless Solutions, a volunteer organisation devoted to building and donating affordable 3D-printed bionic limbs to children around the world

Image via Twitter: cnnireport

“My parents always encouraged me to use my education to help others and to dream big dreams,” says founder Manero, a Fulbright scholar and doctoral student in mechanical engineering at the University of Central Florida. “Now I want to inspire others to help engineer hope for the world.”

        microsoft.com

The company strives "to create a world without limits, where everyone has access to the tools necessary to manufacture simple, affordable and accessible solutions through open source design and 3D printing."

        mashable.com

Limbitless' first 3D-printed arm cost approximately $350 (RM1,300) in materials to make, as compared to the $40,000 (RM148,000) price tag attached to normal prosthetics

Image via Facebook: Limbitless Solutions

The arm was donated for free after the team's volunteers pooled together their "coffee money". As Manero put it, "“We were all bound to the belief that no one should profit from a child in need of an arm."

Dewan Rakyat Heats Up Amidst Govt's Consideration To Give Najib RM100M To Buy A House

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

The Dewan Rakyat heated up yesterday, 18 November, after it heard that the government is in discussions to approve a RM100 million grant for Datuk Seri Najib Razak to buy a house

The revelation was made by Langkawi member of Parliament (MP) Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad when Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz was giving his wind-up speech on the Supply Bill 2022."There is an additional item in the Budget which we were not made aware of earlier, but now people are aware of it," the two-time former premier began."There is a RM100 million allocation for a gift to the sixth prime minister (PM) Datuk Seri Najib Razak to purchase a plot of land and build a house because of his service to the nation," the two-time former premier said."This (RM100 million allocation) was not mentioned. Now we want to know what was his service? As far as we know that he is a convict, who has been proven guilty and sentenced to 12 years' jail and fined RM200 million.""He is not in jail and he did not pay the fine. The fine needs to be paid, but (he) did not. Are those the services that this government wants to reward?"If that is the case, Mahathir said, then future PMs will opt to swindle money because they will get additional money and the stolen money will be returned."How can the government allocate such gifts to a former PM; to a convicted person? During my tenure, I had not even once asked for a house and I depend on my pension," said the 96-year-old.

Of the RM100 million allocation for Najib, Mahathir claimed that RM60 million is to buy land while RM40 million is to build the house

Pressed with the weighty question, Zafrul said Mahathir's query should be directed to the Prime Minister's Department as it is in charge of allowances and privileges accorded to former PMs as provided under the Members of Parliament (Remuneration) Act 1980.

Mahathir then said he was told that the allocation for Najib has been approved by the Cabinet and that Zafrul should know about the matter because he is a Cabinet minister himself."Did the Cabinet reject (the grant)?" the Langkawi MP asked.

Following that, other MPs stood up to demand answers from Zafrul on this "hidden" allocation for Najib

Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said the Dewan Rakyat had just heard the confirmation of the request of the RM100 million grant for Najib, which the Cabinet might have already approved."My question here is that when in the Parliament we asked for permanent positions for contract doctors, (the government said) it has no money, asked for additional aid during the COVID-19 pandemic, no money," he said.

			But for one person, one individual, we want to approve RM100 million.
        Syed Saddiq

"If we approve such a thing, our name, dignity, and conscience will be on the line. I hope the other MPs here will consider this properly. Don't sell off your dignity," said the MP.Datuk Mahfuz Omar, RSN Rayer, Gobind Singh Deo, and Azis Jamman — who are all from the opposition bloc — also joined Syed Saddiq in demanding an answer from the Finance Minister.

Clockwise: RSN Rayer, Zafrul, Syed Saddiq.

In response to the MPs' questions, Zafrul explained that the reason the allocation is not mentioned is because the request came after the tabling of the Supply Bill."As you know, any additional spending after that will have to be brought in the surplus budget bill," he said.

Opposition MPs continued to pressure Zafrul to answer whether the Cabinet had approved the allocation, but the Dewan Rakyat Speaker intercepted and told everyone to sit down

"That's enough! If you don't want to leave, please sit down and listen to the wind-up speech," said Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun, who was presiding over the proceeding."The debate period is over and the minister is now responding (to queries raised during debate). Are you trying to teach me about Standing Orders?"

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun.

In a Facebook post last night, Najib broke his silence on the issue and said the free house grant for former PMs was done in accordance with a law that was enacted during Mahathir's regime in 2003

"He himself amended the law when he was the fourth PM. My office merely applied to be given a house after the 14th General Election (GE14) in accordance with the law he amended," he wrote on Facebook.He said the government gave "three plots of land to choose from, so I chose one", adding that he did not ask for the RM100 million.Additionally, Najib questioned why the matter was brought up now and wondered if it is a way to sway for votes in the upcoming Melaka state election.He also lamented that his office as former PM is merely a rented bungalow in Bukit Pantai, while Mahathir's office at the Perdana Leadership Foundation is a vast complex in Putrajaya.

Najib uploaded pages of the Members of Parliament (Remuneration) Act, which stipulates that former PMs are entitled to a "free government house".

Meanwhile, Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that Pakatan Harapan (PH) may reconsider the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with the federal government if it awards Najib a plot of land and a house worth RM100 million, reported Malay Mail.Under the MoU, PH agreed that not to use its votes in Parliament to oust PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob or block the Supply Bill 2022.In return, the government agreed to work on a slew of reforms.Should the Supply Bill not pass in the final stage, it may cause the fall of Ismail's administration and a General Election may be called.

Baggage Conveyor Belt In Changi Airport Goes Viral For Being "Polite"

For the past few years, Singapore Changi Airport has been crowned as the world's best airport and it's not difficult to see why

It has a swimming pool, a movie theatre, a butterfly garden, and a massive man-made waterfall  - all of which are very 'un-airportlike'. A recent video posted on Reddit r/oddlysatisfying has just added to that list by showing off the airport's luggage conveyor belt.The clip was upvoted over 76,000 times since it was posted on 1 December.

Image via Reddit r/oddlysatisfying

It's an unstated fact that luggage often goes through quite a bit of shoving and chucking when travelling.
But no, not at Changi.

Its baggage conveyor belt has been called "polite". Each bag waits patiently before moving onto the belt to avoid clashing into other luggage. As a result, the bags slide on perfectly in between empty gaps.

Image via Mothership

Since then, people have joked about how the system is so "polite"

Johor Factory Worker Dies After Falling Into A Spin Chiller Machine

An employee at a factory in Johor died after falling into a spin chiller machine

According to Bernama, the incident took place on Saturday, 11 September, at a factory processing frozen chicken products on Jalan Ayer Hitam.Johor Occupational Safety and Health Department (DOSH) director Husdin Che Amat said that the victim was a 40-year-old who was assigned to clean the factory machinery with two other colleagues.

Image via JKKP/New Straits Times

While cleaning the machine – meant for cooling down eviscerated chicken – the victim fell inside and was squeezed by the spin chiller screw conveyor

Husdin explained, "The operation of the machinery was turned off by a colleague after seeing the victim's legs dangling out of the machinery. The victim was confirmed dead at the scene by a medical officer."He also clarified that no production operation was carried out on the day of the incident and the victim was carrying out cleaning work on the spin chiller machine alone when the tragedy struck.

A 'Prohibition Notice' has been issued against the employer for failure to ensure that the spin chiller machinery is operated safely

The notice, issued by DOSH, was also due to the employer's failure to provide a safe work system, especially the Lockout/Tagout system (LOTO) for machinery cleaning work. Husdin noted the employer was also instructed to improve occupational safety and health aspects for cleaning machinery, including conducting safe work procedures and risk assessment, as well as training required for employees who are exposed to risk when cleaning the machinery."DOSH takes every occupational accident and illness caused by occupational activities seriously. Legal action will be taken against the responsible party in the event of a breach of regulations under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994," he said.He then emphasised that employers are responsible for identifying hazards, analysing and assessing the related risks, and then implementing appropriate control measures. "It is one of the general duties of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, where employers must provide a safe workplace for their employees and others concerned," he added.In addition, the employer has been instructed to take immediate action to conduct an internal investigation while further investigation will be conducted by the department.

This Woman Received Her Malaysian Citizenship After A Long Wait Of 20 Years

A 37-year-old housewife, S. Vanitha Mani's lifelong desire to become a Malaysian citizen was finally fulfilled when she received her citizenship approval letter from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak at a special ceremony in KL on Tuesday, 31 October

Image via Muhd Zaaba Zakeria/NST

The housewife, who has been living in Malaysia since marrying her Malaysian husband in 1998, had been waiting to become a Malaysian citizen for almost 20 years, patiently applying each time her application was rejected due to "documentation issues"

Vanitha Mani was born in Karaikudi, a city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. She and her Malaysian husband have seven children, aged six to 19, reported NST Online.She was all smiles when she received her citizenship approval letter from PM Najib. Vanitha Mani was accompanied by her husband, P. Arumugam, aged 45.

"No word can describe my happiness today"

Vanitha Mani, who received her permanent resident status in 2010, said that "Malaysians are very fortunate because, from birth, various forms of assistance are provided for by the government, especially in areas of health and education, and various loans were made available to start businesses.""Before, when I went for treatment at the 1Malaysia Clinic, I had to pay RM15. But now as a citizen I only have to pay RM1," she added."Thank you for finally accepting me as a Malaysian citizen. Moreover, I am very happy to receive my citizenship approval letter personally from a leader who does not sideline other races in the country," she was quoted as saying by Bernama.

At the ceremony, PM Najib personally handed out Malaysian citizenship documents to 177 Malaysian Indians, who are among the 1,054 stateless Indians whose applications were approved this year
