1 Killed, 52 Remain Missing Hours After A South Korean Fishing Boat Sinks In Bering Sea

Oryong 501, a South Korean fishing vessel sank off Russia's far east coast in the western Bering Sea on Monday, 1 December. The ship was carrying 60 people, including one Russian inspector, 11 South Koreans, 35 Indonesians and 13 Philippine crew members.

The South Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries said 60 people had been on board the 36-year-old ship: 35 Indonesians, 13 Filipinos, 11 South Koreans and one Russian inspector.

        nytimes.com

As per reports, seven crew members were rescued and a body of a Korean sailor was recovered but 52 people still remain missing

The crew member found dead was a South Korean, a ministry official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the government had not yet made a formal announcement. The Russian, one Filipino and five Indonesians were rescued, said Sajo Industries, the South Korean company that operated the ship.

        nytimes.com

Rescuers searched on Monday for more than 50 people missing after a large South Korean fishing boat they were working on sank amid high waves in the freezing waters of the Bering Sea, officials said. At least one person died.

        wsj.com

As per officials, the 2,100-ton ship was 35-years-old

The ship was believed to have run into trouble when a wave hit as the crew was hauling in its catch, flooding the boat’s storage chambers with seawater, said Lim Chae-ok, an executive at Sajo Industries.Those who were rescued were in a life raft, he said.Others were believed to have jumped into the sea with life jackets on, Mr. Lim said. The water was 14 degrees Fahrenheit, he added.

        nytimes.com

The boat sent no distress signal before the incident, the RIA Novosti news agency reported. Meanwhile, the South Korean foreign ministry said it asked Russian officials to work quickly to rescue the other crew members.

Authorities in the Russian port of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky said the rescued fishermen were well and would be taken to South Korea once the weather improves.“The condition of the fishermen who were rescued is fine,” Artur Rets, chief of the rescue center at the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky port, told the RIA Novosti news agency. “They are currently on the ship that rescued them. They will stay there until the weather improves and South Korea decides how to get them out of here. In the likeliest scenario, they will be picked up by a Korean vessel that is out fishing nearby.”The rescue operation was continuing, Mr. Rets said.

        wsj.com

The ship, owned by Sajo Industries, left for the Bering Sea from a port in Busan, South Korea, in earlier this year on 10 July

The ship left for the Bering Sea from a port in Busan, South Korea, in July. It was one of six South Korean trawlers allowed to catch a total of 40,000 tons of pollock this year under a fisheries deal with Russia.Pollock is one of the most popular fish species in South Korea. After overfishing depleted its stock in waters near South Korea, the country has relied on fishing in the Bering Sea.

        nytimes.com

At the time of the sinking, the waves were more than 13 feet high and the water temperatures were below 14 degrees Fahrenheit

Russia allows South Korean fishermen to fish in its waters for pollock, cod, Pacific saury, squid and other fish. In a meeting in April in Seoul, the two countries agreed to set this year’s quota for pollock fished in Russian waters at 40,000 tons, according to a fisheries ministry official.

Hung By The British: The Activist Who Fought To Improve The Lives Of Labourers In Malaya

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

We have read stories of numerous freedom fighters who fought tirelessly for our country's independence in our history books.
But some of them fall through the cracks and fail to be recognised for their contribution, and S. A. Ganapathy is one of them.

Many pre-independence citizens would remember his role in the communist underground rebellion during the Japanese occupation of Malaya. He was a fighter of the workers' movement, dedicating his life to improving the lives of the working class.Ganapathy also fought for full independence of Malaya from the British colonialists.

Image via Sosialis

According to Telegram No. 510 from High Commissioner of Malaya to the Secretary of State of Colonies dated 2 May 1949, Ganapathy was born in 1917 in Tamil Nadu, India. He migrated to Malaya in 1929.In 1939, Ganapathy joined the Malayan Communist Party (CPM) and served in the Indian National Army (INA) as an instructor during the Japanese occupation from 1943 to 1945.In 1945, he was appointed as a secretary for CPM, working specifically in organising the Indian section of the General Labour Union (GLU). Because of his active work in the union, he was reported to be a member of the Central Executive Committee of CPM.

In February 1947, he was elected President of the Pan Malayan Federation of Trade Unions (PMFTU) after successfully seeking to increase the GLU's influence

The PMFTU was the first union party in Malaya and it was established to merge all trade unions under one roof.The Singapore Free Press reported that under Ganapathy's leadership, the union had 22 resolutions and one of them was demand for basic salary.According to Varnam, Ganapathy stressed the significance of a democratic system in order to improve workers' standards of living.He made political philosophy relatable to the masses, who were largely illiterate, by relating it to basic human needs. Ganapathy also advocated to the working class the importance of education.Under Ganapathy's leadership, the PMFTU, had formed a joint coalition with Pusat Tenaga Rakyat (PUTERA) and All Malayan Council of Joint Action (AMCJA). Together they fought for a democratic constitution in Malaya, to ensure the common people's welfare was protected.

According to Sosialis, Ganapathy also represented Malaya in the Asia Relationship Conference in Delhi from 25 March to 2 April 1947, which was attended by other prominent Malayan figures such as Abdullah CD from CPM and Dr. Burhannuddin al-Helmy from Malay Nationalist Party (PKMM).Apart from that, Ganapathy led the Singapore Federations of Trade Unions (STFU) in organising a massive May Day parade of 50,000 members in 1947, as per this blog post.The Singapore government was definitely threatened by the numbers because the following year, when STFU pledged that 100,000 labourers will take part in the May Day parade, they banned all processions and rallies. The rally could have been the largest May Day parade in Malaya's history if it was approved.

In response to the growing opposition from these unions, the British colonialists declared a State of Emergency in June 1948, and banned all anti-colonial trade union activities

Many political activists and union members were detained during the Emergency which forced Ganapathy to go into hiding.However, this blog post quotes The Malay Mail, states that Ganapathy was found a year later on 1 March 1949, by special constables serving for the British at a rubber estate in Rawang, Selangor.Ganapathy allegedly put up a fight and took out an unlicensed, loaded revolver when he was asked to surrender. This eventually led to his arrest and he was tried on 15 March 1949 for unlawful possession of a revolver and carrying six rounds of ammunition. Ganapathy was also sentenced to death by hanging on the very same day. And on 23 April 1949, the Selangor State Executive case confirmed Ganapathy's sentence after his further appeal was dismissed in Supreme Court.

Image via Malaysiakini

Only two months after his incarceration, Ganapathy was hanged on 4 May 1949. The manner in which the British colonialists hastened the court process showed that they were so afraid of Ganapathy's influence.His death by hanging was proclaimed as "murder" by the International Federation of Labour Unions (WFTU), as quoted by Varnam. Sadly, following Ganapathy's death, many of his comrades were incarcerated or executed, and PMFTU was inevitably dissolved.


This Nurse Drives Around Alor Setar In A Revamped Truck Providing Pet Supplies & Services

Working as a nurse at a hospital in Alor Setar, Kedah, Muhammad Aswad Zakaria has found time outside of his medical career to help owners of beloved Si Comels with his very own mobile pet truck

Aswad stocks a variety of pet products and essentials in his one-tonne truck, catering primarily to cats. As seen in the photos, wooden shelves lined with pet food and cat litter have been fitted into the inside of the vehicle.

Image via Bernama

Aswad does not solely supply all things pet-related, but offers to send any animals in need of grooming or medical treatment to a clinic

In an interview with Bernama, the 27-year-old mentioned that he previously ran a small business selling and delivering pet products directly to an individual's doorstep. The idea came after he was approached by several cat-lovers who explained how challenging it has been to get pet food and products in the new norm.

Image via Bernama

However, he noticed that many of his customers led busy lives and so decided to establish a transportation service for their furry friends. He told Bernama, "Customers who wish to neuter or vaccinate their cats will have the option to have their pets sent to a veterinary clinic they're accustomed to or to our panel clinic."

The mobile pet truck has been operating daily from 10am until 7pm since 1 July

Sinar Plus noted that around RM35,000 was spent on modifying the vehicle to fit the demands of being a mobile one-stop shop for pet owners living within the state's capital.Aside from running on an on-demand basis, Aswad also parks the truck in public spaces, such as recreational parks, so that they are easily accessible to nearby residents. After receiving overwhelming positive response, the business owner now has plans to take his mobile pet truck beyond Alor Setar.

Umum sedia maklum, online shopping atau pembelian atas talian semakin mendapat tempat di seluruh dunia, Malaysia juga tidak terkecuali

Hal ini kerana pembelian atas talian adalah lebih mudah dan menjimatkan masa kerana segala transaksi dilakukan secara maya.Kemudahan ini juga amat sesuai bagi golongan tertentu yang mempunyai kekangan masa untuk keluar membeli-belah selain inginkan sesuatu yang mudah dan cepat.Jadi, rugi sekiranya anda tidak menggunakan kemudahan platform internet untuk berniaga dan menjadikannya sebagai sumber mendapatkan pendapatan tambahan. Ramai rakyat Malaysia juga telah sedar bahawa kemudahan untuk berniaga di ruang laman sosial seperti Facebook, Instagram dan TikTok amat mudah.Ini antara tips bagaimana untuk anda memulakan perniagaan atas talian:

1. Mulakan perniagaan atas talian dengan ‘dropship’

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Vecteezy

Sebagai permulaan, anda tidak perlu bersusah payah untuk mencipta produk anda sendiri.Cukup dengan menjual produk yang sudah mempunyai pengikutnya sendiri seperti sistem ‘dropship’ dimana anda menjual produk sedia ada, tetapi di platform anda sendiri dan keuntungan anda adalah daripada komisen. Kebanyakan sistem ‘dropship’ ini tidak memerlukan modal untuk memulakan perniagaan, kerana anda hanya perlu mencari pelanggan yang berminat untuk membeli produk yang anda jual.Pelanggan lebih cenderung untuk membeli produk yang sudah mempunyai jenama yang kukuh dan dipercayai. Jadi, tidak salah untuk anda menjual barangan perniagaan lain jika perniagaan itu menyediakan servis ‘dropship’.

2. Tetapkan masa untuk perniagaan anda

Ramai orang menganggap bahawa perniagaan atas talian hanyalah kerja sampingan yang boleh diambil ringan. Sebenarnya tidak, kerana jika anda mahu perniagaan atas talian anda berjaya, anda perlulah membuang sikap sambil lewa dan ambil mudah itu.Anda haruslah cari masa yang sesuai untuk membuat perniagaan atas talian dan fokus kepada perniagaan tersebut. Elakkan gangguan yang boleh menjejaskan waktu produktif perniagaan atas talian. Hal ini bagi memastikan masa yang diperuntukkan untuk membuat promosi perniagaan atas talian anda dengan lancar. Anda juga boleh meluangkan masa untuk menguruskan kewangan perniagaan anda supaya menjadi lebih terurus.

3. Promosi jualan yang konsisten

Jangan terlalu gelojoh dalam perniagaan kerana tiada sebarang teori yang mengatakan jika mengeluarkan modal yang besar menjanjikan keuntungan yang besar. Keuntungan yang besar akan datang sekiranya jualan dan promosi anda konsisten.Tidak salah jika anda mahu melaburkan modal yang besar, tetapi anda harus ada ilmu untuk melakukan dan menguruskan jualan anda. Mulakan sedikit demi sedikit dan tingkatkan modal anda bila perniagaan anda semakin maju. Namun, anda perlu memastikan hasil kerja anda secara atas talian itu menguntungkan dari segi masa dan pendapatan.

4. Kukuhkan platform perniagaan anda dan belajar teknik pemasaran

Image via Vecteezy

Perkara penting yang perlu anda lakukan pada permulaan perniagaan anda adalah memperkasakan platform anda di Facebook, Instagram atau TikTok. Jika platform anda sudah kukuh, sudah pasti proses jual beli anda dengan pelanggan lebih lancar.Walaupun berniaga di atas talian nampak mudah, namun ianya boleh menjadi sukar apabila banyak saingan kerana sudah ramai yang mula berniaga di atas talian dan perniagaan anda mungkin sukar untuk diketahui pelanggan.Dalam pada itu, untuk menjadi lebih dikenali dalam pasaran, teknik pemasaran anda haruslah kukuh dengan design produk atau poster promosi perniagaan anda yang catchy serta sedap mata memandang supaya pelanggan tertarik untuk membeli produk yang anda jual. Pastikan cara pemasaran anda lain dari yang lain supaya dikenali ramai.

5. Kukuhkan jaringan internet di rumah anda

Kehidupan pada masa kini amat bergantung kepada penggunaan internet di mana sahaja kita berada tidak kira di rumah, di tempat kerja atau di tempat awam.Begitu juga dengan bisnes secara online di rumah, perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan sudah semestinya adalah jaringan internet di rumah yang stabil.Di sinilah penyedia perkhidmatan jalur lebar yang dipercayai seperti Unifi perlu ada.

MPs & Watchdogs Demand Answers From Saifuddin Abdullah Over Earlier 5G Awards

Following Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah's revocation of 5G spectrum awards, his predecessor is now calling for the government to explain their decision

On Wednesday, 3 June, Minister Saifuddin Abdullah uploaded a media statement revoking the 5G awards previously given to the five telecommunication companies: Maxis, Digi, Celcom, Telekom Malaysia, and Altel.Former communications and multimedia minister, Gobind Singh Deo, urged the government to explain their decision to directly award the 5G spectrum rather than proceed with an open tender process on his Facebook page. In his statement, he wrote, "We chose to adopt an approach with greater transparency and accountability in keeping with our agenda for reform and transparent governance."Gobind continued by saying that this "is a matter of great concern which calls for an urgent explanation." He added that "Amongst others, it specifically stated that the 700MHz band would be assigned through a tender process."

The award of the 700 MHz spectrum to five licensees by the Perikatan Nasional government through Ministerial orders...Posted by Gobind Singh Deo on Wednesday, 3 June 2020

The impact of these procedures on citizens was also highlighted

Gobind elaborated in his post, "These steps were meant to ensure that Malaysians would be able to benefit from improved digital infrastructure coverage, high quality connectivity, while ensuring the cost of services remained competitive." "Reasons must therefore be given for the need for a direct award, the criteria used to select the providers, the revenue to the government, and the benefits that Malaysians can hope to achieve," Gobind concluded.

Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament (MP) Fahmi Fadzil similarly pushed back against the MCMC's decisions

"The order raises a variety of questions regarding the processes involved in choosing those companies and the total amount of spectrum given to each," he said in a statement.He drew attention to an interaction between Altel Communication Sdn Bhd (one of the five companies that was to receive 5G spectrum), whereby an Altel staff had suggested the 700MHz band be given to "a single recipient to simplify telecommunication infrastructure… and promote fairness". Fahmi also pointed out that, "We were not given information regarding the fees each recipient was charged."

Kenyataan saya berkenaan pemberian blok-blok spektrum 700 MHz kepada lima syarikat oleh Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia pic.twitter.com/cEjncVTzNd— Fahmi Fadzil (@fahmi_fadzil) June 3, 2020

In a second tweet, Fahmi explicitly asks the MCMC to give an explanation, particularly pertaining to the companies and fees involved.

Pohon @SKMM_MCMC segera beri penjelasan. Arahan menteri ini ada kesan terhadap syarikat2 terbabit, termasuk keperluan membayar fi beratus juta ringgit serta memaklumkan kepada @BursaMalaysiaKL. https://t.co/5oK1YxHcLK— Fahmi Fadzil (@fahmi_fadzil) June 3, 2020

Non-governmental organisation Malaysian Corruption Watch (MCW) doubted the initial decision to award 5G spectrum to Altel, but praised Abdullah's cancellation of the order

In an interview with BenarNews, MCW President Jais Abdul Karim said, "Big projects, which concern security issues like telecommunications, should only be given to companies that have the expertise. MCW was not clear on what was the reason behind this cancellation, but it was the right decision."

However, citizens are still interested in greater transparency and accountability

Political analyst Sivamurugan Pandian of Universiti Sains Malaysia was quoted saying in an interview with BenarNews, "A tender allows those who bid to compete with others and the best offer will be awarded."On the matter, he added, "The public prefers transparency with full accountability and competency to reflect a good governance policy." However, in the same interview with BenarNews, Sivamurugan noted that, "The minister's immediate action to cancel allows some room to address the issue in a more proper manner."

Previously, the MCMC had awarded 5G spectrum without a public announcement:

                Communications Minister Revokes 5G Spectrum Awards That He Quietly Gave Out To 5 Telcos

Prior to the revocation, the minister's decision represented a major reversal of infrastructure policy, as the prior ...

ISIS Tried To Kidnap Najib But PDRM Saved Him, Says Zahid Hamidi

World terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS) wanted to kidnap Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak early last year, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi disclosed in today's Parliament session

The militant group, also known as Daesh, has also targeted a few ministers, said Zahid in his capacity as home minister. "On Jan 30, 2015, a total of 13 people with ties to Daesh had planned to kidnap the leaders, including home minister (Zahid) and Defence Minister (Hishamuddin Hussein)," he said at the Dewan Rakyat today.

        malaysiakini.com

“Although there is no proper Daesh (Isis) establishment in the country, those who were here were being influenced and have been receiving orders from the network in Syria."“We detected plans to attack several locations in Kedah, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, attempt to rob of firearms from army camps, making of explosions, robbing cash-in-transit vans as well as plot to kidnap the country’s leaders for ransom,” he said.

        todayonline.com

However, these kidnap attempts failed as the Malaysian police force's anti-terrorism unit intervened, and prevented four other incidences of attacks in Malaysia by the ISIS, Zahid added

He said this in a reply to Datuk Abdul Manan Ismail (BN-Paya Besar) who asked the Home Ministry to state the success of police in preventing terrorist attacks planned by IS in the country.In September 2014, there was a plan by the group to test improvised explosive devices in Kedah.Other attempts included attacking places of worship, and entertainment outlets in the country."They also wanted to destroy the Free Mason Lodge in Bukit Jalil," Zahid said.

        thestar.com.my

Last November, several media reported that the a number of high-level Malaysian politicians were on the ISIS's kidnap list because they wanted to demand the release of their militants detained in Malaysia

According to Malaysian intelligence, two soldiers of an ISIS cell who were arrested and charged early last year drew up an elaborate plan to lead the kidnapped leaders to a secluded spot in the Klang Valley.They would video record their capture. After making the demand for the release of their comrades, they would identify a secure place for the prisoner exchange to take place.The terror network was not out to seek a ransom, only the release of their detained comrades, Malaysia's Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division head Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ayob Khan revealed.

"It's Not Their Fault" – Malaysian Man Explains Why Some Husbands Cheat On Their Wives

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

While different people often have various requirements when finding a partner, one trait is usually assumed or unquestionably required — loyalty

For most people, the idea of an exclusive partnership to each other is the epitome of a match made in heaven. But what happens when partners simply lose interest or stray away from their relationship? One man decided to give his take on the matter, releasing a rant to the Facebook group, KL娱乐站. In his confession, the man simply detailed how he's grown weary and tired of his spouse, straight up saying that not all men should be blamed for cheating on their wives.

The confession post on the Facebook group KL娱乐站.

Beginning his rant, the man stated, quite frankly, that he feels like vomiting every time he sees his wife's face

"I don't understand how some men have wives that are so pretty, I want a wife like that too. But when I look at my wife — all I want to do is vomit," the man wrote, accompanying his sentence with the puking emoji.Going on to critique her appearance, the man stated how every time he asks her to 'dress up' and look 'pretty', she makes the excuse that it's a lot of work to do."She argues with me over the smallest issues, and haggles me over every detail. It's reached a point where I can't stand her, I have no interest in her anymore," he noted.

The man goes on to explain how he understands why divorce rates are on the rise in Malaysia, especially at present day.Sticking up for fellow men, the confessor ends his post by saying, "Sometimes, there are people outside of the relationship who make men want to stray — and in these cases, it's not their fault!"

Receiving about 2,000 likes and shared almost 400 times, many did not hold back in their opinions about the man's disposition about his wife

One person critiqued the man for having so much free time on his hands, with nothing better to do than to blame his wife for trivial matters. "Did you give her money to dress up? If you want her to be beautiful, you have to put in effort. Don't you know what an investment is?" they wrote.Further adding to the financial issues behind his wife's lack of dressing up, another user told the man that he needs to take a good look in the mirror before mindlessly criticising his wife."Your wife doesn't dress up because she knows that you guys need money to support your family, and save as much as you can!" the user expressed.

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

Condemning the man for his comments, one woman gave some insight as to why the confessor's wife may not dress up the way she used to."Do you know why women beat themselves up? Because she spends time with the children, and spends money on the children, so she's not the way she used to be anymore. You should share half of the housework and care for the children, then she'll definitely look good enough for you!"

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

Opting to provide the man some advice, one user encouraged the man to take action and be a better husband to his wife, so that their relationship will improve."A beautiful wife is spoiled by her husband. Remember that she was a beautiful woman even before she met you. She gave up her figure and appearance just for you. You say that you are envious of other wives, but if you want her to be beautiful, don't ask her! Take her on a day out for shopping wherever she wants to go."People always say that those who nag you or fight with you are the ones who really care about you. When you meet someone who's willing to do that for you, cherish it," she wrote.

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

However, a fair share of the comments came from men themselves, who completely disputed the man's rant and his reasons for giving credence to infidelity

A couple of guys threw some wisecracks into the ring, dissing the man for his harsh opinions about his wife."Just as you find other women pretty, a lot of guys find your wife pretty, too. If you don't believe me, get a divorce and see!" penned one user."If a wife is pretty, it's because of her husband's ability. If she is not, it's because of his incompetence," wrote another person, with multiple others agreeing with him.

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

Another man stated that if the confessor wants his wife to boost herself in the looks department again, he'll have to cough up some cash and effort. "If you have the chance, let your wife be at home and not work. Hire maids to help her clean the house and take care of the kids, then she will have time to go to the gym and take care of herself. If you want her to look good, pour out money for her to get good makeup and skincare products," he opined.

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

Nonetheless, one man seemed to give one of the most fruitful opinions of the bunch, telling the man to make up his mind on what he wants out of his relationship."You can't afford a wife who dresses up, but you dislike a wife who doesn't dress up? If she leaves you one day, you'll realise how important she is. It's good to be simple. There isn't a flower in the world that's in bloom forever. Don't be superficial — inner beauty is the most important beauty."

Inventor Builds Adorable Chair That Allows Your Clingy Pets To Sit With You While You Work

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

Do you have pets that won't leave your lap when you sit down to work? If so, you are not alone!

Many of us have dogs or cats that simply refuse to fall asleep anywhere but beside or on us, and this becomes a challenge especially when we have to sit and work for long hours.

After facing similar problems, Swedish inventor Simone Giertz took to Twitter to share how she built an ingenious chair that fits both a person and their small pet

Frustrated by the lack of pet-compatible office chairs, Giertz decided to invent one for her needy dog who always hops onto and off her lap while she is working.

I built a chair for needy pets that always want to sit next to you. pic.twitter.com/loTmxmsnQ5— Simone Giertz (@SimoneGiertz) March 30, 2021

Orang Islam Berpuasa, Bukan Islam Kena Buat Apa? Ini 8 Panduan Ramadan Buat 'Non-Muslims'

Bulan Ramadan iaitu bulan paling suci dalam kalendar Islam, kembali lagi!

Image via Tenor

Bulan mulia ini memang antara bulan yang dinanti-nantikan oleh umat Islam. Selain berpuasa, bulan Ramadan cukup sinonim dengan amalan berbuka bersama keluarga dan rakan-rakan, budaya berkunjung ke masjid untuk solat terawih, kemunculan bazar Ramadan pada waktu petang, dan banyak lagi. Boleh kata, bulan puasa ni memang seronok bagi yang beragama Islam.

Tapi bagaimana pula untuk yang Non-Muslims? Apa yang mereka perlu buat sebenarnya?

Image via PopKey

Nak kata tak kisah langsung, sebenarnya mereka kisah dan cukup peka dengan bulan Ramadan. Cuma mungkin mereka risau takut buat apa-apa yang boleh mendatangkan sensitiviti pada umat Islam. Jadi Non-Muslims sekalian, apa yang anda perlu buat supaya tidak dilihat sebagai tidak peka terhadap sahabat Islam anda yang sedang berpuasa ini? Ikuti tips ini:

1. Boleh je nak makan depan kami...

Image via KnowYourMeme

Untuk 30 hari yang akan datang ni, umat Islam di seluruh dunia kena menjauhkan diri daripada makan dan minum dari waktu siang hari sampai senja. Tapi, ini tidak bermakna anda tidak boleh makan atau minum depan kami. Kami relax je! Cuma, pekakkan jelah telinga tu kalau terdengar bunyi perut kami berkeroncong kelaparan. ;)

2. ... tapi jangan pula ajak kami makan tengahari bersama

Image via Know Your Meme

Manalah tahu terlupa sekarang ni bulan puasa sampai ajak kami makan tengahari bersama.Nak ajak boleh tapi faham-fahamlah kalau kami tolak ajakan tu ya? Hehe.

3. Anda tidak perlu pun berpuasa dengan kami...

Tapi boleh je kalau nak cuba-cuba, nak rasa berpuasa tu macam mana. Tapi kalau tak nak cuba juga, jangan risau. Kami okay dan tak menyinggungkan perasaan kami langsung!

×

4. ... tapi kalau nak berbuka puasa dengan kami, boleh sangat!

Image via Tenor

Iftar, istilah lain bagi berbuka puasa selalunya pada waktu terbenam matahari atau sunset.Kami okay sangat kalau ada rakan-rakan yang bukan Islam nak berbuka puasa dengan kami.Lagi ramai yang join, lagi best! Boleh kongsi-kongsi juadah berbuka!

5. Kalau nak buat meeting sambil minum kopi pun kami takde hal...

Image via The Tempest

Tidak, kami tetap tak boleh minum kopi tu, atau apa-apa airlah. Tapi kami okay je sambil meeting tu anda nak hirup kopi. Aduhai, sedapnya kopi!

6. ... tapi kami akan duduk jauh sikit dari anda

Image via The Tempest

Pernah dengar istilah 'Halitosis'? Halitosis tu maksudnya nafas berbau.Cuba anda tak makan atau minum seharian. Gamaknya memang busuk habis nafas!Sebab tu kami pilih untuk berdiri jauh sikit dari anda apabila bercakap time bulan puasa ni.

7. Anda boleh nak ucap 'Ramadan Mubarak'

Image via Tumblr

Tepis lah kontroversi kata yang bukan Islam tak boleh ucap Ramadan Mubarak pada yang Islam. Ramadan Mubarak tu maksudnya 'Selamat Ramadan' je pun. Cuba wish pada kawan-kawan anda yang sedang berpuasa. Mesti mereka suka dan hargai keprihatinan anda. :)

8. ... tapi jangan pula kata, "Saya nak berpuasa juga sebab nak turunkan berat badan"

Image via Tenor

Berpuasa pada bulan Ramadan bukan pasal nak turunkan berat badan. Lebih besar makna Ramadan itu sebenarnya. Ia adalah untuk mendisiplin keinginan dan nafsu manusia di samping mengajar erti sabar. Tambahan pula, laporan CNN mengatakan salah satu kesan sampingan berpuasa pada Ramadan adalah obesiti akibat makan berlebihan sewaktu berbuka. Oleh itu, makan time berbuka pun kena bersederhana ya!

Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa semua!
Semoga Ramadan kali ini lebih baik daripada yang lepas. :)

37 Civilians And 59 Attackers Killed In One Of The Worst Outbreaks Of Violence In Xinjiang

Last week, Chinese police forces gunned down 59 people and arrested another 215 during a violent uprising in China's far western Xinjiang region that left almost 100 dead, the government said

Almost 100 people were killed during attacks on a police station and government offices in China's far western region of Xinjiang early last week, state media said Sunday, giving fresh details on one of the worst incidents of unrest in years.

        abc.net.au

The incident happened on 28 July, but this is the first definitive death toll released by Xinhua news agency which says 215 attackers armed with knives and axes were arrested after they stormed a police station and government offices

Police in China's Xianjiang region have stepped up security after unrest earlier this year
Image via abc.net.au

State media had reported the incident a day later, saying dozens of people had been killed when knife-wielding attackers had staged assaults in two towns in the region. It is unclear why the government waited so long to announce detailed casualties, though bad news has sometimes been covered up or delayed in the past.

        bbc.com

Due to tight security, visits by foreign journalists are very difficult, making an independent assessment of the situation almost impossible

"This was a serious terrorist attack incident which has links to domestic and overseas terrorist organisations and was organised, premeditated, carefully planned and evil," the Xinjiang government said on its official news website (www.ts.cn) in the early hours of Sunday morning.

        stuff.co.nz

The agency said the new figures emerged from a high-level meeting of the Communist Party over the weekend in Xinjiang

The new figures illustrate the seriousness of continued violence in China's largely Muslim region of Xinjiang that abuts Central Asia and where more minor clashes are reported weekly.

        wsj.com

If the new figures are correct, then it would make last Monday's incident one of the worst outbreaks of violence in Xinjiang in recent years, notes BBC

The report said assailants displayed banners declaring a "holy war" and were coordinated by a banned group called East Turkestan Islamic Movement that China's government says aims to make Xinjiang independent. Sunday's report said civilians were stopped at roadblocks and slashed with knives if they refused to join the rally.

        wsj.com

The report identified the mastermind of the attack as Nuramat Sawut, whom Xinhua described as the local leader of the movement and responsible in the past year for spreading audio and video calls for separatism and religious extremism

Mr. Sawut wasn't reachable and Xinhua's report didn't say whether he specifically participated in the attacks. The report didn't say where overseas the group had obtained assistance, though in the past China's government has cited training of separatists by religious extremists in Pakistan.

        theguardian.com

The last week's clash, near the city of Yarkand, took place a day before the mostly Muslim area was set to celebrate the end of Ramadan

Image via wantchinatimes.com

State media said assailants with knives rampaged through town slashing people and smashing symbols of government power. In its initial reporting on the incident, Xinhua had said dozens of civilians were killed while at least 36 cars were smashed or set on fire. The initial report also called it "an organized, premeditated and carefully planned terrorist attack of vile nature and tremendous violence."

        bbc.com

Later in the week, assailants, identified by Chinese authorities as Uighurs, knifed to death the government-appointed imam of Id Kah Mosque in the nearby city of Kashgar. On Friday, police in Xinjiang had shot dead nine suspected terrorists and captured another in Xinjiang's Hotan's Prefecture.

        wsj.com

Tensions between Uighurs and Han Chinese migrants have been growing for several years, with some Uighurs opposing Chinese rule in Xinjiang

Assassinated: Juma Tayir, the imam of Kashgar's Id Kah mosque, was allegedly killed by separatists

In recent months, there has been an upsurge in Xinjiang-linked violence that authorities have attributed to Uighur separatists and authorities have stepped up security operations in the region.

        reuters.com

Last Wednesday, the imam of China's largest mosque, in the city of Kashgar in Xinjiang, died after reportedly being stabbed after morning prayers. Jume Tahir, 74, had been appointed imam of the 600-year-old mosque by China's ruling Communist Party and he was a vocal public supporter of Chinese policies in the region.

What Are Malaysians Most Worried About?

Ever since the 1MDB scandal erupted a couple of years ago, we'd think that Malaysians would be most worried about the rickety political climate of the country

Image via The Wall Street Journal

The masses were made aware of the disastrous scandal when The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) started releasing a series of reports on how billions of ringgits have been channeled into Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal account through the state investment fund, 1MDB. The news lead to a series of major political and economical changes in the country, including a sudden cabinet shuffle that saw former Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Dato' Haji Muhyiddin Yassin and four other ministers kicked out of their seats, the replacement of the Attorney-General in the midst of 1MDB investigations and the fall of the Malaysian ringgit.A report by Bloomberg in April 2016, highlighted how the ringgit fell due to lower oil prices, the United States low jobless rate and also the 1MDB controversy. "The ringgit fell for a fourth day in its longest stretch of losses since November 2015 and stocks dropped to a six-week low as troubled state investment company 1Malaysia Development Bhd. confirmed it’s in default after missing an interest payment on bonds," read the report dated 26 April 2016.

However, a recent survey revealed that politics isn't what Malaysians are most concerned about

Image via Nielsen

It is actually the economy that Malaysians are most worried about.Global information and measurement company, Nielsen Holdings PLC recently conducted its Global Survey of Consumer Confidence and Spending Intentions with a sample size of 500 in Malaysia. Debunking any popular beliefs on how Malaysians may care about politics the most based on observations from social media channels, Nielsen showed how 45% of the respondents have attributed most of the concerns to the state of economy over anything else.

Economical concerns are followed by job security at 25%. The research firm also noted that more than one third of Malaysian consumers are confident about job prospects over the next year.

Image via The Malay Mail Online

What's really interesting is that, a third of the respondents have also said that they have positive feelings about their personal finances despite the current economic state. "Malaysia has weathered the currency devaluation and moved past the first year of the implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) without the economy going into any significant downturn. Thus, the nation's consumer confidence outlook is returning, with more Malaysians believing that the economy is more resilient than a year ago," said Richard Hall, Country Manager for Nielsen Malaysia on the report published yesterday, 2 August.

Other concerns include work/life balance, debt, and political stability at 16% respectively.   The Nielson survey showed how Malaysians are least worried about their parent's welfare and happiness at only 7%.

Image via Buddhist Missionary Society - WS

Meanwhile, in terms of saving, Southeast Asian countries are leading the trend with Vietnam having the highest percentage of the world's most avid savers at 76% while Malaysia took the 7th place at 64%.

If economy is Malaysians' biggest concern, what do we spend on the most?

Image via Nielsen

Here's what Malaysians have spent their spare cash on in the second quarter of 2016:1) 40% on holidays and vacations. 2) 25% on new clothes. 3) 19% on new technology (gadgets, etc.)4) 18% on out-home-entertainment 5) 18% home improvements and decor

With that said, the consumer confidence survey also mentioned how Malaysians would continue to reduce their household expenditure to improve overall household savings

Image via The Malay Mail Online

Over half of the respondents have reduced spending on new clothes (58%), switched to cheaper grocery brands (54%) and minimise out-of-home entertainment (52%) in a bid to save on household expenses as compared to last year. However, should economic conditions do improve, about one third of Malaysians would continue to try to save on gas and electricity (369%), spend less on new clothes (31%) and minimize out-of-home entertainment (28%).

        nielsen.com

Contrary to local concerns, in 2015, the World Economic Forum (WEF) ranked Malaysia as the world's 8th most efficient economy. Read this to find out why:

I Tried That Viral TikTok Cleaning Hack On My Dirty Frying Pan To See If It Works

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

TikTok user Ramdeep Osahan uploaded a video of himself cleaning a totally burnt and scorched pan

  @ramdeep.osahan Easy home trick  ##foryou ##foryoupage ##diy ##ramdeeposahan  1,2,3,4 (One, Two, Three, Four) - Fun Elektro Mix - Funbeat

It showed him sprinkling salt and baking soda on the bottom of the pan, followed by dishwashing soap. After a bit of scrubbing, he applied paper towels on top, and poured white vinegar over it. He then wiped all the gunk off, revealing a super clean pan!However, many in the comments section claimed that it doesn't work, and pointed out that it may have been swapped with a different pan. "Take a close look at the placement of the handle, it has been changed or replaced," one user commented. "How come even the paint has been removed?" another user wondered.

The hack gained even more traction when user @danshaba tested it out on their pan to see if it really works

  @danshaba Finally a hack that’s actually useful!   original sound - Dan Shaba

Known for testing out online hacks, they followed the steps and ended up with a much cleaner pan."That's like 99% perfect," they said.

Seeing how well it worked on those pans, I decided to give it a try on one of my own frying pans, which was also blackened at the bottom

Image via Shiffa Aziz/SAYS

As you can see, it looks pretty gross and dirty. Which gave me all the more reason to try out this hack, since washing it normally didn't work. :(

Image via Shiffa Aziz/SAYS

All the ingredients I needed were easily found at home: - Salt- Baking soda - Dishwashing soap - White vinegar - Paper towels

After placing my pan on a dishcloth, I was ready to test if this hack was legit or not

I started off by sprinkling salt and baking soda on the bottom of the pan, then pouring dishwashing liquid over it.

Image via Shiffa Aziz/SAYS

Next, I made sure to scrub it all together with a steel wool. Note: Do not try this on the inside of non-stick/stainless steel pans, as it will leave scratches and damage the pan.

Image via Shiffa Aziz/SAYS

After carefully placing about three paper towels on top of the salt, baking soda, and dishwashing soap mixture, I poured white vinegar on top.

Image via Shiffa Aziz/SAYS

And finally, I removed the paper towels to see the results!

Image via Shiffa Aziz/SAYS

The verdict? It does a great job or removing most of the grime and burnt stains on the bottom!

Check out these before and after photos of my dirty pan turned clean!

So remember, with a few household items (and an insane amount of scrubbing) your pans could look like mine. :P

Kajian Awal Dari China Jelaskan Individu Darah A Lebih Berisiko Untuk Dijangkiti Covid-19

Baru-baru ini, kajian awal dari China telah mendapati bahawa individu yang mempunyai darah jenis A dipercayai lebih mudah untuk dijangkiti wabak virus Covid-19 berbanding mereka yang mempunyai darah jenis O

Menurut laporan, hanya sebilangan kecil daripada pesakit yang mempunyai darah O telah meninggal dunia akibat dijangkiti serangan virus Covid-19 ini.Namun begitu, sebahagian besar pesakit dari Wuhan dan Shenzhen, China yang telah dijangkiti dan meninggal dunia merupakan dari kumpulan pesakit yang mempunyai darah A.

Menurut penyelidik di Pusat Perubatan di Wuhan, China, pesakit dalam kumpulan darah A dinasihatkan untuk meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh bagi mengurangkan risiko untuk dijangkiti.Pasukan yang diketuai Wang Xinghuan itu turut berkata bahawa kajian itu masih terlalu awal dan lebih banyak kajian perlu dilakukan bagi membuktikan kesahihannya.

Tambahan pula, kajian yang diterbitkan di Medrxiv.org itu telah membandingkan lebih 2,173 jenis darah yang disahkan mempunyai kes positif Covid-19 di Wuhan dan Shenzhen dengan 3,694 penduduk yang bebas daripada virus tersebut sekitar Wuhan

Image via Al Jazeera

Ia juga menunjukkan lebih 31.16 peratus penduduk Wuhan mempunyai darah jenis A dan kajian di Hospital Wuhan Jinyintan mendapati 37.75 pesakit Covid-19 di hospital itu mempunyai darah jenis sama.Sampel darah yang sama juga menunjukkan 25.8 peratus mempunyai darah jenis O berbanding 33.84 peratus daripada keseluruhan populasi.

Hasil kajian turut mendapati 206 pesakit meninggal dunia akibat virus itu, selain 85 pesakit atau 41.26 peratus adalah daripada kumpulan darah A dan 52 kematian daripada individu berdarah O

Walau bagaimanapun, saintis yang tidak terlibat dalam kajian tersebut turut memberitahu bahawa lebih banyak sampel darah perlu diambil bagi membantu pakar perubatan. Malah, penyelidik dari Tianjin turut menyeru orang ramai yang mempunyai darah dari kumpulan A untuk tidak panik kerana ia tidak bermaksud anda akan dijangkiti 100 peratus.Dia turut menambah bahawa, "Ia tidak bermakna individu berdarah O juga selamat, anda masih perlu mencuci tangan dan mengikuti garis panduan yang dikeluarkan pihak berkuasa."

And if you're wondering why someone is recording the whole thing, having a dashboard cam is quite common in Russia — mostly to protect the driver from corrupted police. According to a 2012 report from Al Jazeera, around one million Russian motorists have dashboard cams installed in their cars.

        mashable.com

However, the authenticity of the video is still questionable, with multiple sources claiming it to originate from Russia or Belarus

5 Most Popular Ramadan Bazaars In KL That Are Back This Year

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

Due to the pandemic, none of us have been to a Ramadan bazaar in over a year.
Thankfully, these vibrant one-stop food centres are making a comeback!

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) just announced that a total of 65 bazaars will be operating throughout KL this coming Ramadan.

According to New Straits Times, bazaar operators will be allowed to open between 3pm and 8pm throughout the fasting month.DBKL stressed that there will be strict standard operating procedures (SOPs) for visitors to observe, including wearing face masks, registering via MySejahtera, maintaining physical distance, and body temperature screening, prior to entering any of these 65 bazaars.

Since there are so many different bazaars in KL to choose from, we've narrowed the list down to our top five choices:

1. Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI)

One of the most congested areas during Ramadan, the TTDI Ramadan bazaar owes its popularity to viral vendors such as a popiah basah stall that has been running for over 20 years.

Besides that, this is the place you'd wanna go to if you'd like to check out unique items such as cheesy burgers, beef brisket, and even biryani with crab on the side.

2. Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman

Before COVID-19 struck the nation by surprise, barring folks from travelling interstate, many people from far and wide would travel to KL during Ramadan just to stop by Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Known as a must-visit destination during the festive season, you'll find all of the Ramadan classics such as kuih, ayam percik, and serunding right here at this bazaar with over 300 stalls.

3. Kampung Baru

When people think of Kampung Baru, they will automatically think of Malay food.Besides being a popular iftar spot thanks to the numerous restaurants in the area, you'll find snaking lines of people at stalls selling bubur lambuk and roti goreng McGyver (deep fried bread stuffed with meat).

4. Bangsar

If you don't like walking, then this bazaar is the one for you. Although the stretch of stalls here is shorter than other bazaars on this list, we promise that you'll still find your favourite Ramadan dishes such as tepung pelita, putu piring, and agar-agar.

5. Taman Melawati

In a letter dated 20 August, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Pahang protested against the sale of alcohol in Taman Temerloh Jaya

Image via Biro Kebajikan Masjid Taman Temerloh Jaya/Facebook

The NGO, known as Biro Kebajikan Masjid Taman Temerloh Jaya (Taman Temerloh Jaya Mosque Welfare Bureau), addressed the letter to all businesses operating in the housing area.The Bureau alleged in its letter that residents of the housing area are protesting against the sale of alcohol as well.

The Bureau claimed that the move would deter Muslims in the housing area from consuming alcohol while preventing "social issues"

"We look forward to cooperation from your (business owners) end to take necessary action for the benefit of local residents," the Bureau wrote in its letter.

Earlier this week, the Bureau brought their letter to a Speedmart 99 outlet in Taman Temerloh Jaya

The letter was handed to an employee at the convenience store.

On 4 September, a member of the Bureau was seen handing the objection letter to an employee at the convenience store.According to China Press, most of the alcoholic beverages at the store have been removed following the incident. However, six-pack beers can still be purchased at the outlet.

Sin Chew Daily reported Democratic Action Party (DAP) Mentakab division secretary Lui Chun Kai as saying today that convenience stores hold permits from local governments to sell alcoholic beverages, and non-Muslim residents in Taman Temerloh Jaya have the right to consume alcohol."This convenience store already holds permit from the Temerloh local government to sell alcoholic beverages, why would the organisation (the Bureau) object this?" he was quoted as saying by Sin Chew Daily.

Datuk Chris Lai
Image via China Press

Meanwhile, chairman of the Temerloh Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Datuk Chris Lai told China Press that the Bureau should not have asked the convenience store to remove its alcoholic beverages."The Bureau could have requested (the convenience store) to separate their halal and non-halal products instead of asking the store to take them (alcoholic beverages) down," Chris was quoted as saying by China Press."Malaysia is a multiracial country so we should respect each other," he added.

This Man Lost 25 Family Members To The Deadly Chemical Attack In Syria

Abdul-Hamid Alyousef woke with a start, struggling to breathe, early morning on Tuesday, 4 April.

He struggled out of bed and scrambled over to check on his 9-month-old twins. He passed them to his wife and told her to stay indoors safely.

Alyousef walked out of his house, only to stumble upon a scene of utter horror - people were falling and suffocating on the streets. He managed to walk over to his parents' house next door and to his shock, both his brothers were dead. Left in a state of panic, Alyousef rushed back home to make sure his wife and children were fine.

By the time he got home, his wife and babies were dying. "There was foam on their mouths, there were convulsions. They had all been on the floor."

He woke up hours later in the hospital and realised that he didn't just lose his twins, wife, and brothers. Alyousef lost 25 of his family members that day. According to the report by CNN, most of his extended family members lived on the northern edge of Khan Sheikhoun, a town in Syria's Idlib province.Alyousef spoke to CNN about the tragedy on Wednesday. "My kids, Ahmad and Aya, and my wife... they were all martyred. My entire family's gone.""My brothers, their children, and their cousins... around 25 members of my family, all martyred," said Alyousef, sobbing.

Videos and images of Alyousef cradling his deceased twins and sobbing have gone viral on social media.

"My children aren't the first to be martyred. Is there even a humanitarian conscience still?"

Syrian man says 25 relatives died in chemical attack"My entire family's gone." This Syrian man says around 25 of his family members died in the chemical attack including his wife and two twin babies. http://cnn.it/2oEzHnmPosted by CNN on Wednesday, 5 April 2017

On Tuesday, Khan Sheikhoun faced what has been described as one of the deadliest chemical attacks in the country in years

The US and the UK have blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government for the deadly airstrike that hit the town while most people were still sleeping. As of late February 2016, Idlib went under the control of the Syrian rebels and Al-Nusra. The attack claimed the lives of at least 70 people. 45 bodies have been identified so far. According to an eyewitness who described the horror to CNN, Anas al-Diab, an activist with the Aleppo Media Center (AMC), at about 6.30am, an airstrike hit the town center of Khan Sheikhoun. This was just metres away from Alyousef's home, near their local bakery.  The airstrike emitted an unknown "poisonous gas" that led to victims dying from asphyxiation from the chemical agent. Yesterday, New York Times reported that the Turkish Health Ministry confirmed that the chemical agent used in the attack was the banned nerve agent, sarin.

Almost 500 people have been sent to the Maarat al-Numan hospital following the airstrike. Speaking to CNN, Dr Fares al-Jundi said that this horrible memory will stay with him for the rest of his life.

Responding to tragedy, US President Donald Trump has launched a military strike on the airfield in Syria that had launched the deadly chemical attack on Khan Sheikhoun

"On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians. Using a deadly nerve agent, Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack," said Trump on Thursday, 6 April, as reported by CNBC. "It crossed a lot of lines for me. When you kill innocent children, innocent babies... with a chemical gas that is so lethal that people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines -- beyond a red line," he added, saying that the airstrike has changed his view on Assad and Syria.According to a statement by Syrian Armed Forces General Command, the US attack that launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Al Shayrat airfield, killed six people. This is the first and direct military attack by the US against the Assad government since the Syrian civil war began six years ago.

The Syrian civil war has killed about 450,000 people, injured more than a million and the number of displaced Syrians are growing steadily. Aleppo is the worst-hit place in the country:

The girl's father, who works as an engineering manager, in a press conference organised by Senai assemblywoman Wong Shu Qi on 19 July said his heart sank at the sight of his daughter's bruises on her bottom and palms when she got home from school on 1 July

"My wife and I were at work in Singapore when my parents-in-law called to inform us that our daughter was badly bruised. We quickly went to see the school's headmaster to find out what happened,” he told reporters during a press conference here on Sunday.

        thestar.com.my

According to the father, the teacher admitted to caning his daughter three times on her bottom and twice on her palm for the sole reason of not seeking permission before drinking water, The Start reported

"I was furious at the excuse given, so I lodged a complaint at the police station and the district's Education Department,” said Saw. He added that although the teacher has since tendered his resignation, he was afraid that the teacher would be transferred to another school."I am afraid that the Ministry will just transfer him to another school and another child might become a victim of his violence," he added.

        thestar.com.my

Lending her support, Senai assemblywoman Wong Shu Qi urged the ministry to ensure that the teacher is banned from all schools

Wong added that the Ministry should conduct psychiatric tests on educators to ensure that they are competent when it comes to teaching children.

[#PCA] Human Rights Watch Guy Says Malaysia Taking Step Backward

Lawmakers approve detention without trial

The bill was passed after minor changes were made, including adding two more members to the initial three-man Prevention of Crime Board, to whom reports on detainees will be submitted.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Opponents fear law passed could be abused by authorities to hold people without trial for years and negate the prime minister's pledge to protect human rights

Opposition leaders and international rights activists have criticized Prime Minister Najib Razak's administration for introducing the changes less than two years after abolishing laws that had occasionally been used in past decades to hold political dissenters without charge.

        myrtlebeachonline.com

Lim Kit Siang, a top opposition member of Parliament who has previously been held for months on separate occasions under the Internal Security Act, said the approval of the amendments marked "a black day for Malaysia."

        eveningsun.com

Najib Razak assured Malaysians that "no one will be victimised"

Najib has defended the amendments as necessary to combat organized crime. He assured Malaysians that "no one will be victimized" and that authorities would follow a clear procedure and not use the law for political purposes.

        townhall.com

Najib earlier this week said the changes were crucial to tackle an increase in organised crime, insisting that crime "has frightened the public and if the government doesn't act, more people will become victims."

"Malaysia is taking a huge step (backward) on rights by returning to administrative detention practices much like the draconian Internal Security Act," Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement Thurs, 3 Oct 2013.

        eveningsun.com

"By doing so, Prime Minister Najib is backing methods that do little to curtail crime but threaten everyone's liberty."

“Responses to crime require a rights-sensitive approach entirely absent from this legislation."

Government wants to reintroduce detention without trial under Prevention of Crime Act 1959

These amendments re-introduce preventive detention just two years after Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had announced the repeal of ISA (Internal Security Act) and Emergency Ordinance.

New sections will allow for a 2 year detention period which may be further extended if "deemed necessary"

Other new sections that have been inserted in the bill include Section 7A, which bars a judicial review for any of the board's actions or decisions, except on compliance with any procedural requirement in the Act.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

A person found guilty of registrable offences will have limited access to legal representation, if the proposed amendments to the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 are passed.

It will empower the board under Section 19A to impose detention orders for a period not exceeding 2 years. This may be renewed for further periods not exceeding 2 years at a time, if necessary, in the interest of public order, public security or prevention of crime.

        thesundaily.my

The detention cannot be challenged in any court of justice

This was just one of the repressive laws stated in the amendments. Among other salient points were the electronic monitoring device.

Officers involved in investigations do not have to reveal the proof to convict someone if he or she was a threat to national unity

Hishamuddin stressed that the new law will receive negative backlash from the rakyat as they had called for a more transparent system prior to GE13.

State rep for Teja, "The PCA amendments are going to deprive the rakyat’s fundamental right to fair trial, which is exactly opposite of what Najib had promised."

"The argument of curbing rising crime rate with preventive detention is pale and archaic...Malaysia has sufficient laws and sophisticated criminal justice system to deal with criminals."

        freemalaysiatoday.com

"It is a sheer violation of Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that guarantees one’s right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty."

        freemalaysiatoday.com

DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang, "The amendments are against the promise of liberalisation."

Lim said the fact that the decisions of the three-man Crime Prevention Board, which will deliberate and determine on arrests and detentions, cannot be scrutinised through a judicial review made the amendments "even more obnoxious."

Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Comm Fadzil Ahmat revealed that Samirah Muzaffar and the two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, were detained at their home at about 6.45am."All three suspects will be charged with murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same law, at the Petaling Jaya Magistrates at 2pm today," he said, The Star reported.

A police source told Malay Mail that the family's maid is also involved in the case, and efforts are underway to make an arrest.“We believe the maid is back in Indonesia,” the source said.

Nazrin's death on June 2018 was initially reported to be due to a fire at his Mutiara Damansara house caused by a charging mobile phone

Image via New Straits Times

"The post-mortem report concluded the cause of death as being a complication of blast injuries attributable to an exploding handphone that was being charged next to him," Cradle said in its statement that was posted on its official Facebook page.

However, the case was reclassified as a murder in August following a forensic investigation report by the Fire and Rescue Department

The report revealed the possibility of foul play in his death, as there were traces of petrol found on Nazrin's head, bedframe, mattress, and handphone.Nazrin's remains were exhumed on 8 October for a second post-mortem.The results of the second autopsy, which were revealed in late February, confirmed that the Cradle CEO's death was attributed to multiple head injuries.
