Ramai juga yang masih belum jelas sama ada wabak virus Covid-19 ini boleh merebak kepada haiwan atau tidak. Ini kerana Nadia merupakan kes pertama yang melibatkan harimau.Untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut, boleh baca perkongsian seorang Doktor Veterinar iaitu @DrAfiqS mengenai penjelasan isu ini. Perkongsian tersebut telah dikongsi melalui rangkain tweets dan sehingga kini sudah berjaya meraih lebih 11.9 ribu retweets dan 11.3 ribu likes ketika artikel ini ditulis.Baca penuh di bawah:

Memang ada bukti menunjukkan Covid-19 ini berasal dari haiwan. Namun, sehingga kini masih belum ada bukti saintifik untuk membuktikan hal tersebut.

Nadia dah tranding, siapa Nadia? Mesti korang dah baca berita covid-19 pada haiwan seperti anjing kt Hong Kong, Kucing Belgium dan yang terbaru, harimau belang bernama Nadia. Covid-19 boleh merebak kt haiwan ke? Jadi hari ni saya nak buat thread covid-19 pada haiwan/pets.— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Sedikit pengenalan, coronavirus (CoV) infection berlaku pada haiwan dan manusia, some strains of CoV ni zoonotic (boleh berjangkit dari haiwan ke manusia) but, many strains are not!Contoh 1. MERS-CoV dari unta -> manusia2. SARS-Cov dari civet -> manusia— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Pada december 2019 di Wuhan maka lahirlah satu CoV baru yang dinamakan SARS-CoV-2 atau skrg kita panggil Covid-19.Seperti yang kita tahu, the predominant route of transmission covid-19 ni adalah diantara manusia ke manusia. Ada bukti yg suggest covid-19 berasal dari haiwan— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Tetapi sehingga kini, kita masih belum mempunyai bukti saintifik untuk kata covid ni datang dari haiwan. Maklumat genetic sequence Covid-19 ni yg saintis jumpa paling dekat pun adalah dengan CoV di dalam Rhinolophus bat. Sejenis kelawar. Ada possibility lah dari sana.— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Ada kemungkinan virus Covid-19 ini boleh berjangkit dari manusia ke haiwan. Ini kerana buat masa sekarang, virus ini banyak ada pada manusia.

Next, adakah covid-19 ni boleh transmit dari manusia ke haiwan? Apabila jangkitan covid-19 ni dah berleluasa ke serata dunia, Maka adalah POSSIBILITY untuk virus ni berjangkit dari manusia ke haiwan. Sebab skrg ni virus ni banyak kt manusia ye. Jadi ada possibility.— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

"Tidak ada bukti saintifik yang mengatakan haiwan yang dijangkiti memainkan peranan di dalam penyebaran covid-19."

Kajian mendalam masih dijalangkan terhadap haiwan yg positive covid-19 tu yeTetapi penting untuk kita tekankan disini, tidak ada bukti sintifik yang mengatakan haiwan yang dijangkiti memainkan peranan di dalam penyebaran covid-19.Human outbreak are driven by person to person.— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Jadi janganlah kita bertindak atau bersangka bawa haiwan peliharaan kita ni bawa covid-19. Takut ada yang buang kucing pulak nanti. Sebab setakat ni haiwan ni pun berjangkit dari manusia bukan sebaiknya. — Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Di bawah merupakan langkah-langkah yang perlu diambil untuk mengelakkan haiwan peliharaan anda dari dijangkiti virus merbahaya ini:

Apakah langkah-langkah yg perlu kita ambil untuk elak haiwan peliharaan kita dijangkitiBasic hygiene bila handle haiwan seperti basuh tangan before/after apabila pegang, bagi makan. Elakkan cium, jilat atau berkongsi makanan dengan haiwan peliharaan kita. (Seriously)— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Sesiapa (manusia) yang positive atau suspect positive Covid-19 should avoid close contact dengan pets. Jika pesakit tersebut perlu masuk hospital, mintalah orang lain untuk jaga haiwan peliharaan dia. Dan orang yg menjaga tu pulak perlu maintain good hygiene, pakai mask..— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Keep the pets strictly indoor as much as possible & contact with those pets should be avoided as much as possible. — Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

This are recomendation yg diberi oleh OIE, kalau korang nak lebih info & nak maklumat yang sahih boleh visit website oie. OIE ni adalah WHO untuk haiwan. Apa-apa update yg latest pun boleh dapat kt sana ye— Dr. Afiq Vet (@DrAfiqS) April 6, 2020

Kepada semua pemilik haiwan di luar sana, jangan panik dan buang haiwan peliharaan anda sebab takut kerana hingga kini masih BELUM ADA BUKTI kes penularan Covid-19 ini dari kucing atau anjing kepada manusia.

Dalam pada itu ingat, patuhi arahan dan sila duduk di dalam rumah. Teruskan mengikuti perkembangan mengenai Covid-19 hanya di SAYS Seismik!

UKM Says Paedophile Nur Fitri Deserves Second Chance For His "Extraordinary Capabilities"

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has confirmed that Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin, who was convicted of child pornography in the United Kingdom, is a post-graduate student at the university

In a statement published in local daily Sinar Harian and reported by Malay Mail, the country’s second-oldest university said it will give "chances" to those who apply for a place in its higher learning institution and fulfil its academic criteria."Regarding the student, Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin, he is now a UKM student that is pursuing his studies at the PhD level," it said in a statement in response to public questions following the revelation over Nur Fitri being a student at UKM.

According to the statement released by UKM, the 27-year-old deserves a second chance for his "extraordinary capabilities"

"He was chosen to further his studies due to his extraordinary capabilities and his academic achievement," UKM said, adding that it had previously accepted Nur Fitri when he was pursuing his Bachelor's degree and that it is aware of his criminal record.

The university said many views were taken prior to accepting him

"After the selection to accept him, various views were taken into account and evaluated. UKM is clear about his conviction as well as past sentence, which he served previously."Throughout his studies here, he has been very committed in his studies and hasn’t displayed any suspicious behaviour. The university also has never received any complaints against him throughout his time in UKM," the university said.According to UKM, it believes that "education can help to transform individuals by giving them a chance to improve themselves to achieve their highest success in life."

Image via IBT UK

Meanwhile, it was also revealed that Nur Fitri is not listed in the child sex offenders' registry launched in April this year

The registry, which is maintained by the Social Welfare Department (JKM) and contains the names of 3,000 child sex offenders from 2017 to February 2019, does not list Nur Fitri because the list records convictions for child sexual offences from 2017 onwards, when the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (SOAC) came into force.According to Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Hannah Yeoh, this means the SOAC would only have records of convictions from 2017 onwards.She, however, added that the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development is "currently reviewing the existing laws related to this."

(3) In the case of Fitri from UKM, his conviction was recorded in 2015 in UK (2 years before SOAC was enacted). He had also served imprisonment, released and returned to Malaysia.— Hannah Yeoh (@hannahyeoh) August 23, 2019

Weighing on the issue which is seeing heated discussion on Twitterverse, a couple of experts said that while the mathematics scholar deserves a second chance, it should not be unconditional

According to them, Nur Fitri must be subjected to monitoring and undergo psychological treatment to ensure that he is suited to return to society."He committed a heinous crime and had been convicted. This is a serious crime against children and he should accept responsibility for what he had done. He is adult enough to know that what he did was wrong and deserves to be punished."The question here is, has he been subjected to any psychoanalysis for his past behaviour?," Malaysian Council for Child Welfare (MKKM) president Dr Raj Abdul Karim said, adding that UKM should monitor his activity from time to time."You don't want a Malaysian version of Richard Huckle to appear," she said, referring to a British paedophile who was convicted of 71 counts of sexual assault against children while working as a teacher and photographer in Malaysia.Another expert interviewed by NST Online said that legally Nur Fitri could not be discriminated against due to his criminal record."In Malaysia, there is no law that states that if you have a criminal record, you are not allowed to pursue your studies or live a normal life."However, the university has to take precautionary measures to ensure that the individual does not cause harm to its community," Associate Professor Dr P. Sundramoorthy, who is Universiti Sains Malaysia criminologist, was quoted as saying.


A Young Graduate In Sabah Made RM300,000 In Just A Year By Turning His Hobby Into A Career

All eyes are on a young entrepreneur from Sabah, following the success of his small business venture recently

Image via @jubair_juhinin/Instagram

Jubair Juhinin is the proud operator of one of the latest attractions in Ranau, the 'Arnab Village' (Rabbit Village).Located at Kampung Purakagis, Ranau, which is about 104km away from Kota Kinabalu, the rabbit farm has emerged as a must-visit tourist destination in the district.  27-year-old Jubair has helped to transform the rural tourism industry in Sabah as locals and international tourists have been flocking to this place ever since it became fully operational in 2016, so that they could see and interact with fluffy rabbits in their natural habitat.

Jubair's story will certainly inspire anyone who is looking to turn their passion into a career.
Despite only having RM5,000 to start the business, he has managed to earn RM300,000 in just a year's time!

Image via @lmklucas/Instagram

It all started in 2013 when Jubair reared a pair of rabbits at a family home in the village. The pet lover's enthusiasm saw him grew his furry family and eventually, with the encouragement from his family and friends, he decided to develop his hobby into a business.  The graduate of Aquaculture Science from the University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) decided to take the plunge and turned the place into an attraction starting with basic facilities and environmental landscapes using his small capital. However, he remained optimistic in developing the farm on a 0.2 hectare land, and his efforts were not wasted as he managed to turn his hobby into a booming business. It was reported that Arnab Village has generated RM300,000 in revenue through ticket sales within the past year.

Jubair has continuously put in a lot of effort and money to improve Arnab Village ever since it was first opened to public in August 2016

As one of the 10 local entrepreneurs that won the PitchBorneo competition last November, Jubair walked home with RM20,000, which he used to make improvements at Arnab Village, including upgrading the basic facilities for future visitors. He said that more facilities will be upgraded gradually to ensure that visitors get to enjoy their trip here comfortably. "The upgrading works include public facilities such as toilets, garden expansion, rabbit stables and building a souvenir shop. While for the third phase of development, we will focus on building restaurants and accessory shops." "Besides that, we will build shoplots around villages to be rented by traders to sell craft products, food or related products to help them in generating income," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, visitors young and old will definitely enjoy getting up close and personal with the cute rabbits

Image via @bungaayrasofea/Instagram

Jubair told Bernama that there are eight different species of rabbits reared at this farm namely New Zealand White, Standard Rex, Mini Satin, Lion Head, Netherland Dwarf, Lop Ear, Anggora, dan Local Breed. Visitors are encouraged to explore the farm and interact with the 400 fluffy animals, which are allowed to roam freely in the fenced area.Those who want to record videos and take pictures with the tame rabbits can also do so here. Jubair also told reporters that he aims to keep growing his furry family and house with about 1,000 rabbits at the garden early next year.

Father Who Slammed His 4-Month-Old Son On The Floor Jailed For 10 Years

The world is filled with monsters but even a monster wouldn't do to its own child what a 29-year-old father did to his infant boy in Chow Kit last year in November

The father, Mohd Amri Ismail, had slammed the four-month-old baby to the floor in a fit of rage because he could not put up with his cries.The assault, which rendered the baby unconscious and he fell into a coma, took place in a rented room in Lorong Haji Taib, Chow Kit, at 7.30pm on 4 November.

The unemployed father was sentenced to 10 years' jail by the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, 9 March

However, before passing the sentence, when the judge asked: "Do you realise that your action will cause your son to die?"The 29-year-old, clad in blue T-shirt and jeans, casually replied: "I'm aware."

The father's horrendous action came to light only after the baby was taken to hospital by his adoptive mother

At the hospital, a CT scan showed that the boy suffered from the intracranial bleeding. A doctor, who suspected the baby had been abused, then lodged a police report.

During the sentencing, while the father pleaded guilty before judge Zaman Mohd Noor, he appealed for a lighter sentence, saying "I regret doing that to my son"

However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Amira Sariaty Zainal asked the court to impose a deterrent sentence, arguing that the offence was serious and it involved the father's biological child. She also urged the judge to consider the victim's condition when he was taken to the hospital, reported the NST Online."The baby was already unconscious when he was taken to the hospital, and if he had not been rushed to the hospital immediately he could have died."As a father, it is the accused's responsibility to care for the child. A stiff sentence should be imposed as such cases have been increasing," said the prosecutor.

The Sessions Court Judge, Zaman Mohd Noor, ordered the jail term to run from the date of his arrest on 5 November

Legendary 1989 Black Knight Edition Proton Saga Wins A Classic Car Competition In The UK

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

It is very rare to see a Proton Saga winning an international award, especially one that is nearly 40 years old.
But this one in the UK did just that over the weekend, defeating 49 other competitors to win the top prize at the 'Festival of the Unexceptional'.

Image via Hagerty UK

Jon Coupland's pristine 1989 Proton 1.5GL Black Knight Edition won the Concours de l'Ordinare at the Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire, organised by classic car insurance firm Hagerty.The 30-year-old policeman told Hagerty that he was not expecting to win first place in the exhibition event, which included 50 other participants."I became a car enthusiast when I was young and could only own this Proton model in 2019. Before this, I had never visited the Festival of the Unexceptional," he said."I was over the moon to be accepted for the concours, so to have impressed the judges enough to have won the overall prize is beyond my wildest dreams!"The Festival of the Unexceptional celebrates normal everyday cars that are typically 'unloved' and boring, unlike the classic Porches and BMWs.

Image via Hagerty UK

According to Coupland, his 1989 Proton Black Knight Edition is the last remaining model out of the 201 units the company made specifically for the UK market

How Many Left, a website that tracks the amount of vehicles left on UK roads, checks out Coupland's claim, that the Proton 1.5 GL is the only one of its kind still in existence.He told Hagerty that the car's original owner fell ill and garaged the car in 1993, after only driving it for 3,600km. It remained in the garage until 2017, when it was sold to its second owner and was driven over 10,000km more. Coupland said he only drives the Proton now to events like the Hagerty's Festival of the Unexceptional to showcase it.Peugeot, Volvo, Ford, Nissan, Austin, Toyota, Lancia, Saab, and Volkswagen were among the other cars that participated alongside Coupland's Proton in the competition.

The Black Knight Edition is a sedan rather than an Aeroback, although it is painted in a similar metallic grey — 'Majorca Black'

According to Paul Tan's Automotive News, the car has the similar orange and grey colour scheme for the body stripes, as the local Saga Knight.The decals, on the other hand, are unique, with elaborate knight-on-horse logos on the sides and rear. Those decals can also be spotted on the hubcaps (rim covers), which are exclusive to this model, as well as the rubber boot-lid spoiler.The automotive news site also reported that Coupland runs a YouTube channel showcasing his two other Proton Sagas — a limited-edition 1.5 SE LE and a later 1.3 GLS (based on the Proton Iswara body).

Trafficked Malaysian Woman Rescued After Pleading For Help From The Cambodian DPM

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

A Malaysian victim of human trafficking was successfully rescued after she managed to reach out to the Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Samdech Krolahom Sar Kheng on social media for help

A spokesperson from the Cambodian Ministry of Interior reported on Wednesday, 24 August, that the victim reached out to Sar Kheng for help through a Facebook post, informing him that she was held captive at the coastal city of Sihanoukville, located in the south-west of Cambodia.She had allegedly attempted to pay for her release by giving RM31,000 to her captors. Unfortunately, she reported that she was later sold to another syndicate.She also alleged that she was held captive by Chinese nationals.

Responding to her cry for help, Sar Kheng gave an order to the local police to conduct a raid at the area where the woman said she was

They successfully rescued her and also detained five Chinese nationals who were involved in the syndicate. The Cambodian police force are currently looking for the other syndicate members who are at large. The woman reported that she had lost more than RM400,000 and two mobile phones during the ordeal. She asked that the Cambodian police help her recover her lost property and help her get back to Malaysia.It has not been reported how the woman ended up becoming a victim of human trafficking.

In a separate report, it is said that one of the most common ways Malaysians end up becoming victims of human trafficking in Cambodia is by applying for false lucrative job opportunities online

Bernama reported Malaysian ambassador to Cambodia Eldeen Husaini Mohd Hashim, as saying the modus operandi of many human trafficking syndicates is to post high-paying job offers on social media. These victims would then be brought to the 'job site' and that is when they would usually be forced to work as a phone operator to scam other unsuspecting victims around the world. These victims will not be allowed to return to Malaysia and will have to pay a ransom to be let go, in which their release is not guaranteed."To date, there are more than 60 cases of Malaysians falling for job scams and are pending further actions. We are working closely with the Cambodian authorities in facilitating them to return home," Eldeen said to Bernama. He urged Malaysians to be wary of suspicious job opportunities on social media that offer high-paying positions and are stationed overseas."Check with relevant authorities including the embassy to validate the job offers. Do inform your parents and relatives in Malaysia if you receive such an offer. They might give you a valuable second opinion on whether the job offer is a scam," he advised.

Pelajar Diploma Yang Pinjam PTPTN & Sambung Peringkat Ijazah, Kini Bebas CCRIS & Blacklist

Minggu lalu, hangat di Twitter mengenai isu pelajar yang disenarai hitam dalam sistem Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN) sebaik sahaja mereka menyambung ijazah selepas diploma

Isunya di sini, mengapa pelajar serta merta disenarai hitam oleh PTPTN selepas mereka menyambung belajar ke peringkat ijazah? Mereka belum bekerja dan tidak mempunyai dana untuk membayar hutang. Jadi kenapa perlu disenarai hitam?Keadaan ini menyebabkan mereka yang menyambung ijazah tidak dapat membuat permohonan pinjaman pelajar dari PTPTN dan tidak dapat ke luar negara.Lalu, beberapa orang aktivis mahasiswa telah membangkitkan isu ini dengan mengadakan satu sidang media kerana masalah ini melibatkan lebih 47,000 orang pelajar.

Isu itu juga sebelum ini pernah dibangkitkan oleh seorang aktivis mahasiswa, Abdul Hannaan melaui satu post di laman Facebook

Post itu telah dibuat pada 30 Jun lalu dan mendapat lebih 8 ribu shares dan rata-rata orang ramai bersetuju dengannya.

Nampaknya, pihak PTPTN telah memberikan respon yang positif mengenai tuntutan oleh pihak mahasiswa sebelum ini. Seperti yang dimaklumkan oleh Exco Mahasiswa & Pendidikan Armada, Abdul Hannaan baru-baru ini, beliau telah menghubungi pihak PTPTN dan mengesahkan isu tersebut telah pun selesai.

Menurutnya, terdapat 5 perkara yang berkaitan isu tersebut telah diselesaikan iaitu:

			1. Rekod CCRIS dibersihkan2. Larangan keluar negara telah ditarik balik3. Tunggakan telah menjadi 04. Penggabungan akaun diploma & degree telah dilakukan5. Pembayaran balik hanya bermula 6 bulan selepas tamat pengajian.Namun katanya, perkara ini hanya termaktub kepada pelajar diploma yang meminjam PTPTN dan kini melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat ijazah."Semoga dengan perubahan yang dilakukan ini mampu sedikit sebanyak membantu survival anak bangsa dalam dunia kerjaya."Berdasarkan kepada rekod PTPTN, lebih 47000 mahasiswa terkesan dengan perkara ini.Terima kasih PTPTN kerana mendengar permasalahan yang dibawakan," tulisnya di Facebook.

8 Dangerous Gifts President Obama Left For Donald Trump To Play With

On Saturday, President Trump signed an executive order titled "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the US"

It's a broad temporary ban on entries to the United States from any national of 7 majority-Muslim countries. So, if you're an immigrant or visa holder from one these countries — Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen — you can't enter the US for the next 90 days. And if a country doesn't agree to provide the US certain information about people who apply to come, then they may also be banned.Trump has been in office for just over a week and he has already made major changes to US policy, some so important and sweeping, like on immigration front, that they will not only block refugee admissions but could also uproot the lives of hundreds of thousands of US green card holders, and amp up detentions and deportations of unauthorised immigrants and is likely to cause women around the world to die.

Image via The Atlantic

UPDATEFederal Judge Ann M. Donnelly just issued a stay against Trump's "Muslim Ban", temporarily allowing people who have landed in the US with a valid visa to remain.

Looking at how President Trump seems to be making good on the promises he made during his campaign, we thought it would be good to list down the many authoritarian tools left behind by Presidents Bush and Obama for Trump's far-right regime to exploit

Image via The Bureau of Investigative Journalism

1. Secret Law

When you don't know how your government interprets laws shaping state power, it becomes much easier for officials to do a lot of shady things in the dark.Under Secret Law, a federal court in DC sided with the Obama DOJ, ruling that a legal memo describing the FBI's surveillance powers can remain secret from the public.President Obama brought it and it is now in place for President Trump to exploit.

2. The power to kill US citizens without due process

In addition to having nearly unlimited power to start wars without Congress’s approval, thanks to Presidents George W. Bush and Obama, presidents now have the power to order drone strikes on US citizens abroad without charges or trial.The Obama administration has deliberately targeted and killed US citizens in drone strikes, without those individuals ever having been given their constitutional right to due process. The Obama administration justified this by arguing that "when an American has made the decision to affiliate himself with al-Qaeda and target fellow Americans, that there is a legal justification for us to try and stop them from carrying out plots."All of that is what President Trump has now inherited.

President Barack Obama meets with his national security team in the Situation Room of the White House in 2010.

3. A shadowy, executive army that reports outside the chain of command directly to the president and kills worldwide

The U.S. military’s Joint Special Operations Command, known by the acronym JSOC, which has grown from a rarely used hostage rescue team into America’s secret army, while was not invented by the Obama Administration, they certainly unleashed it.Like other authoritarian tools, this one too is left behind by Obama for Trump.Read more about this by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin on The Washington Post.

4. NSA, the most powerful surveillance apparatus in the world

Over eight years, President Obama created the most intrusive surveillance apparatus in the world, leaving behind his legacy on surveillance that can be described as a shadow state of brick and mortar, hardware and software, satellites and eavesdroppers, ready to grow on President Trump's command to track every move you make.

5. An FBI emboldened to persecute Muslims for "speech and thought crimes" under the guise of "protecting the homeland"

The Intercept_'s Glenn Greenwald details how FBI functions while keeping fear alive:The FBI does not disrupt planned domestic terror attacks but rather creates them, then publicly praises itself for stopping its own plots.First, they target a Muslim: not due to any evidence of intent or capability to engage in terrorism, but rather for the “radical” political views he expresses.They then find another Muslim who is highly motivated to help disrupt a “terror plot”.Once they finally get the target to agree, the FBI swoops in at the last minute, arrests the target, issues a press release praising themselves for disrupting a dangerous attack (which it conceived of, funded, and recruited the operatives for), and the DOJ and federal judges send their target to prison for years or even decades.

6. Domestic laws authorising government propaganda targeting US citizens and the indefinite detention of suspects without trial

While the expansion of presidential powers, through legal executive privileges, in the War on Terror began in the Bush administration, they reached their peak in President Obama's presidency. Compared to Bush, Obama's authority is more ambiguous, more powerful, and less defined than in the previous administrations.In fact, through the National Defence Authorisation Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Obama became vested with extrajudicial powers, such as the power to contain the provisions that allow the president to indefinitely detain a terrorist suspect without a trial.Read more on the propaganda ban here and unchecked power grab here.

7. Law making it easier for the Secret Service to arrest protesters

You can read about "Criminalising Protest" Bill here, it makes it easier for the Secret Service to overuse or misuse the statute to arrest lawful protesters.And with President Trump's first week in office shows, protests are going to be a part of his entire time in office. But with this law in place, thanks to Obama Administration, he can send the Secret Service to arrest protesters protesting lawfully.

8. Lastly, the Obama administration is leaving Trump with these: Legitimation of the ideas that seeking privacy is suspicious activity and that the FBI should be able to crack all encryption

Example, if you use Skype, VPN, Tor, or PGP for security and privacy reasons or even buy components at an electronic store, you are a potential terrorist in eyes of the FBI.Read more about the assault on privacy here and here.And if you believe in encryption, here's what President Obama said: "It's fetishising our phones above every other value, and that can’t be the right answer."

Thousands Of Ikan Bilis Found On Pulau Pangkor Shores Prompts M'sians To 'Tabao' Them Home

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

Thousands of ikan bilis were found on the shores of Pulau Pangkor, Perak, prompting locals to bring them home in big bags

Photos and videos of anchovies leaping out of the waters and beaching on Pasir Bogak went viral over the weekend.According to Bernama, state fisheries director Noraishah Hashim said the incident only took place at Pasir Bogak, the west coast of the island that faces away from the Peninsular.It is understood that the beaching of anchovies happened at several intervals beginning Friday, 12 August. A small quantity of silver-type round herring fries was also found stranded on the beach.At 7.30pm on Saturday, 13 August, the incident happened again. Noraishah said many residents and visitors came with bags to collect the anchovies between 11am and 1pm.

Fisheries officials will be monitoring the phenomenon of anchovies leaping out of the waters

Of the possible reasons, large fish hunting for small anchovies and bright lights on Pasir Bogak could explain the rare occurrence."Fishermen in the area said large fish, especially the alu-alu fish (yellowtail barracuda), could be hunting the anchovies, forcing them to jump onto the beach," she said, adding that artificial lights on the beach might have also lured the anchovies to the shore.Local fishermen also told Noraishah's department that their anchovy catch had increased several days prior to the strange phenomenon, reported Bernama.Noraishah said the anchovy population could have increased because a conservation area for fish breeding was created in 2016.

Adding to the possible reasons for the phenomenon is the production of anchovies overspilling from their breeding zones, causing waves to bring the small fish to shore

Speaking to China Press, a local owner of a fishing boat who specialises in harvesting anchovies, Lin Yu Tong (transliteration), said that it is believed that the production of anchovies in the shallow waters was too much, causing the waves to wash them ashore.He said the phenomenon was indeed rare but it had happened several times over the past few decades.Meanwhile, Guang Ming Daily quoted a local fisherman as saying that the anchovies seen stranded on the beach were 4cm to 5cm long, in comparison to the usual anchovies that are  3cm to 4cm long."The anchovies seen in the video were 'ikan bilis jalur emas' and 'ikan bilis pek pak'. Those were high-grade species. The cleaned anchovies can be sold for RM90 to RM120 per kilogram," he added.

Beggars In Johor Bahru Can Earn Up To RM10,000 A Month

That person you see begging on the roadside could be pocketing more cash than an average office worker every day, as beggars are reportedly earning up to RM10,000 a month

Image via Zain Ahmed/NST

New Straits Times (NST) reported yesterday, 11 March, that beggars in Johor Bahru were found to have been netting up to RM300 a day from the donations they elicited from kind-hearted individuals that they met on the streets. This group of beggars who were rescued were found to be persistently begging in the city centre and they would move around to avoid being caught by the authorities.

Their standard modus operandi (MO) is to congregate at traffic lights because they are able to get better "profits"

"They carry out their activities at traffic lights because they are able to earn more money (while the lights are red), and it is easier for them to flee when they see enforcement vehicles (which cannot reach them in time due to) traffic congestion," Social Welfare Department (JKM) Johor Baru officer Normawarni Mahat explained, as reported by NST.According to Normawarni, there were no evidence that suggests that these beggars were being exploited by third parties or that they are a part of a syndicate.

After receiving 10 public complaints about the rampant begging activities in the city since last year until January, JKM has gotten several individuals off the streets

It was reported that two Rohingya women in their 30s and four children aged between six months to three years old, and an OKU (person with disability) man from Vietnam were rescued by JKM. Three local men between the ages of 50 and 60 were also detained and charged under the Destitute Persons Act 1977 in 2016, but they were released at that time with a warning not to commit the same offence. "However, after being caught begging on numerous subsequent occasions, they were sent to a welfare institution last year to undergo rehabilitation," Normawarni said.In a separate report by Berita Harian, it was learned that most rescued individuals were the group involved in begging activities due to financial problems, and not having a permanent job, as well as alcohol and drug addiction.

Although it might be a lucrative "business", begging is actually illegal in Malaysia

Image via Muhammad Asyraf Sawal/NST

Anyone who is caught begging or found to be homeless can be rounded up under The Destitute Persons Act 1977, which is often dubbed as the "anti-begging law".It is an offence to beg or perform "any conduct calculated to induce the giving of alms" including the act of busking to earn money.If a person wants to busk, they must seek permission and if relevant, obtain license from the authorities.

[VIDEO] Orang Kampung Gali Kepak Ayam 'Free' Yang Dah Tertanam Di Sarawak

Semalam, ramai orang kampung telah berkumpul di kawasan Bukit Aup di Sibu, Sarawak untuk acara menggali kepak ayam yang telah ditanam di situ

Image via GIPHY

Menurut Info Sarawak, pihak Kastam Sibu telah merampas kepak ayam sebanyak tiga tan sejak Jumaat lalu kerana tiada permit import yang sah

Image via I Love Sarawak

Dilaporkan bahawa terdapat kira-kira lima atau enam lori kontena yang membawa kepak ayam tersebut yang dipercayai diimport dari New Zealand, kemudian dibawa masuk melalui Semenanjung Malaysia. Namun, ayam-ayam ini dirampas di Pelabuhan Rajang di Sibu selepas pemilik gagal membayar cukai yang berkaitan.Penduduk Bukit Aup digemparkan dengan berita tersebut lalu menyebabkan mereka berpusu-pusu menggali kawasan tanaman kepak ayam itu sehingga mengubah suasana menjadi seperti pesta.

"Musykil juga mengapa sumber makanan yang masih elok dibazirkan begitu sahaja," kata salah seorang penduduk di situ.

Image via I Love Sarawak

"Saya sendiri sudah memperoleh hampir seguni kotak ayam. Ada yang masih dalam keadaan baik dan beku ketika ditanam di kawasan ini. Tidak pasti dari mana sumber kepak ayam ini diperolehi dan sebab-sebab mengapa ia ditanam di sini."Berdasarkan maklumat yang diperoleh, antara lima atau enam kontena mengandungi kepak ayam beku telah dirampas di Pelabuhan Rajang, di sini selepas pemiliknya gagal membayar cukai."

Daredevil In China Falls 62 Storeys To His Death While Doing Pull-Ups On Skyscraper

Wu Yongning's gravity-defying stunts were not for the faint of heart

Image via ABC

The 26-year-old daredevil from Hunan had amassed a following online for his adventures in "rooftopping", or scaling tall buildings without any safety harnesses.

Image via ABC

He began posting his daredevil exploits on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter, in February. With more than a million followers, Wu was regularly featured in advertisements on social media and live-streaming platforms.

But concerns among his fans began to grow after he stopped posting updates last month

Image via ABC

His girlfriend, identified only as Jie Jie, broke the news on social media earlier this week to announce he died in a fall from the 62-storey Huayuan Hua Centre in Changsha in the centre of the country. "Today is December 8th. It makes me think of November 8th, the day you left us and left this world," she was quoted as saying by The Telegraph.

Footage then began to emerge on various Chinese video sites, reportedly showing Wu falling from a metal bar he had been hanging from

Image via SDPnoticias

The clip showed the man practising a pull-up stunt over the edge of a building. He does it once, but things go awry on his second try. After a brief rest, Wu goes in for a second attempt. He is seen extending his arms fully to do a few pull-ups before he lost his grip and fell. South China Morning Post reported that the incident happened on 8 November at Huayuan Hua Centre, one of the tallest buildings in Changsha.

It was reported that he took part in a challenge, in which an unnamed brand offered him 100,000 yuan (RM61,570) in prize money

Image via Newsweek

His step-uncle said that Wu was planning to use the money, not only to pay for the medical treatment of his sick mother, but also to give to his girlfriend’s family as a dowry so that the two could finally be married.


MCMC Issues Warning To J&T Express Over Video Showing Staff Mishandling Customers' Parcels

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has taken note of viral photos and videos that showed a courier company's workers mishandling packages in a hub filled with parcels

In a statement on Tuesday, 9 February, the regulatory body stated that it views the incident seriously and has instructed the courier company to provide an explanation on what happened.The MCMC statement, while addressing the incident, did not name the courier company.However, following the incident that happened over the weekend, the courier company, J&T Express, has officially addressed the issue in a statement that was released on Sunday, 7 February.

According to J&T Express, the commotion in the video was due to a misunderstanding among some workers over year-end bonuses, which led to violent sorting of packages on 4 February.Furthermore, the company assured customers compensation for their damaged packages.The J&T workers who were involved in the viral video also issued a public apology.

The regulatory body also said that courier companies that fail to protect the rights of consumers can be slapped with both fine and jail

"All courier companies licensed under the Postal Services Act 2012 must abide by the conditions and rules set especially in protecting the rights of consumers," read the MCMC statement."Licence holders could be fined with a sum of not more than RM300,000 or jailed for a term not exceeding three years, or both if they are found to have violated any subsidiary legislation under Act."Additionally, the regulatory body urged consumers to understand and be aware of their rights before choosing any courier service for the delivery of their purchases."If there are any damaged or loss items, consumers are urged to contact the service provider to report a complaint.

Sudah lali menasihatkan golongan perokok agar tidak mendekati anak-anak kecil semasa atau selepas merokok. Namun, masih ada juga yang tidak faham.

Apabila ibu bapa menolak permintaan mereka yang mahu mendukung anak mereka, terus ibu bapa dikatakan sombong atau kedekut. Ibu bapa hanya bimbang jika anak mereka menghidapi penyakit yang merbahaya.Baru-baru ini, Huda Farid Irfan Ali berkongsi tentang penderitaan anak kecilnya akibat asap rokok di akaun Facebook milik beliau.

"Merokok itu terpulang kepada individu tetapi selepas merokok jangan terus dukung anak kecil," tulis beliau di status akaun Facebook miliknya itu

"Yang menanggung sakit lelah anak-anak kecil tersebut dan yang bersengkang mata siang malam ialah mak ayahnya. Bila mak ayah tak bagi dukung, dikatanya sombong. Bekas asap rokok itu bagi kesan berbahaya, faham tak?" tambah beliau.

"Anak saya dikejarkan ke hospital pada jam 1.30 pagi dan dimasukkan ke bahagian separa kritikal. Diberi oksigen sebanyak dua kali, x-ray dan ambil darah," katanya lagi.

"Doktor sahkan ada virus dan jangkitan kuman akibat asap rokok yang menyebabkan demam panas dan sesak nafas. Jadikan kes ini sebagai pengajaran," katanya.

Baca status penuh beliau di bawah:

Kepada perokok-perokok di luar sana, sebelum mula merokok tolonglah lihat keadaan dan orang sekeliling dahulu. Kesian pada mereka yang ada anak kecil. Mula peka dengan masalah ini.

Meanwhile... A Twitter User Has Been Jailed For Using 'Allah' In His Handle

On Thursday, a Turkish Twitter user was sentenced to 15 months in prison — for using a handle that was deemed "religiously offensive"

A Twitter user in Turkey has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for using the nickname “Allah C.C.” on the popular micro-blogging website, on charges of “humiliating the religious values accepted by a part of the people.”

        hurriyetdailynews.com

The user Ertan P., who works as a teacher, was accused by prosecutors in the eastern province of Muş of “writing harmful content” embodying the name of God and the Prophet.

        yahoo.com

Allah (c.c.)'s last tweet was on 16 May:

Image via imgur.com

Prosecutors in Muş province went after the user for using the name of God in his Twitter handle and for tweeting messages against the government

At times, the user spoke in the voice of Allah while criticizing Turkish officials. In reference to a police crackdown against massive protests opposed to the government in June, 2013, Yahoo News reports that @CenabiAllah wrote "Here [Heaven] is very safe because there is no police."

        mashable.com

C.C is the abbreviation of the honoric Arabic phrase "Celle Celaluhu" which means, "[Allah's] glory is so almighty."

        hurriyetdailynews.com

The user reportedly claimed that the account had been hacked at the time of the anti-government tweets, but the court did not buy the argument

“The suspect has accepted the use of the nickname and the posts, but in order to avoid the crime, he said posts could have been written after the account was hacked. It is understood that this claim is unfounded and the investigation files prove him guilty as charged,” the indictment said.

        alarabiya.net

However, this is not an isolated incident

In a case that drew much public attention, Turkish pianist Fazıl Say was sentenced to 10 months after retweeting several lines attributed to the poet Omar Khayyam.

        hurriyetdailynews.com

Sevan Nişanyan, a writer and linguist of Armenian origin, was also convicted to 58 weeks in prison for allegedly insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a blog post.

        yahoo.com

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pledged to "eradicate" Twitter this past March, as officials said the site was being used to spread messages of dissent. But the government managed to block the site for just two weeks after the nation's highest court said the ban violated the rights of citizens.

Tony Says Malaysia Is In Desperate Need Of An Integrated Tourism Plan, Not More Taxes

Yesterday, 16 July, Tony Fernandes sent out a series of tweets regarding why taxing the Malaysian tourism industry is not helpful, especially when it is a "low-hanging fruit" for jobs in the country

His tweets came after he met with Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir on a flight from Johor.Abdul Kadir is a former seven-term Member of Parliament representing Kulim-Bandar Baharu, who served as the Minister of Culture, Arts and Tourism from 1997 to 2004 under the previous Barisan Nasional administration."Bumped into Malaysia's best Tourism minister on AirAsia flight from Johor."He really understood what is needed. Malaysia desperately needs an integrated tourism plan. No exit tax, lower or no visa fees... (and) an airport that understands low-cost airlines," the outspoken group CEO and co-founder of AirAsia said in his tweet.

Image via imgur.com

According to him, the lack of a tourism plan has led to even the hotel industry struggling due to the taxes and other fees they face

He described the country's tourism industry as "low hanging fruits" for jobs which cannot be helped by taxes as even the hotel industry is struggling to make money."It has a hotel tax on top of so many service fees. Tourism is 3rd biggest foreign exchange earner and number two GDP (Gross domestic product) earner," he tweeted.According to a report in The Edge Markets, foreign tourists are taxed RM10 per night at accommodations such as hotels, guest houses, rest houses, and homestays. This tax has been active since September 2017 as a means of increasing the country's revenue.

While noting the importance of tourism to Malaysia's financial growth, Tony said that we should grow our tourism industry

The AirAsia boss urged the government to grow the country's economy by investing and growing the tourism industry to create more job opportunities.

We should grow tourism . We have amazing tourism product in Desaru Johor potential to be another Phuket. Langkawi a jewel.  East Malaysia so much there and finally Trenagnnau ( most beautiful state in Malaysia ). Invest and grow and get more jobs and GDP.— Tony Fernandes (@tonyfernandes) July 16, 2019

Meanwhile, in April this year, Deputy Finance Minister Amiruddin Hamzah tabled the Departure Levy Bill 2019 in Parliament:

                Anyone Who Travels Out Of Malaysia Will Soon Have To Pay A Departure Fee

Transport Minister Anthony Loke had previously said the fee would start at RM20.

3 Students Reveal The Reality Of Being In Malaysia's Medical Sector

A 39-year-old medical doctor from Seremban recently opened up about his battle with drug addiction

In an interview with Bernama early last month, Dr. Sasitharan Ayanai recounted how he got hooked on methamphetamine due to job-related stress. His addiction began nine years ago while he was doing his houseman training at a government hospital in Johor Bahru, where he was subjected to long work shifts – sometimes up to 48 hours without proper rest.

Image via theSun

"At that time, I was stressed and after some time, I was introduced to methamphetamine. It was the booster needed for long working hours. I only wanted energy, that's all," Dr. Sasitharan told Bernama. "I thought I will be spared addiction because I thought, as a doctor, I'll be able to keep (the urges) under control, but I was wrong," he added.

Dr. Sasitharan is just one of hundreds of medical doctors across Malaysia who are reportedly resorting to illegal drugs due to stress and depression

Free Malaysia Today reported on 7 June that a government psychiatrist, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed that there has been a rising number of medical workers in the northern region who are mostly addicted to heroin, meth, and even opioids. The psychiatrist, who has been treating patients who were doctors and medical workers themselves, claimed that most of them cited lack of sleep, depression, and stress as reasons for their addiction.

Image via Canada Journal

While the exact number of medical workers with drug abuse issues was not disclosed, the psychiatrist claimed that the number could be in the double-digit range at a few hospitals in the northern region."While the number in hospitals in the north can be seen as high, we were told that the situation in Klang Valley is worse, with close to triple digit numbers," the psychiatrist said.

Stress, anxiety, and depression are prevalent among Malaysian medical practitioners and students – as proven by numerous studies

For instance, a 2016 study on 676 medical students in Management and Science University (MSU) revealed that 32.5% of them had depression. Meanwhile, another study on 501 International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) medical students in 2016 found that 39.7% of them were depressed, while a whopping 65.8% of the students had anxiety. Moreover, IIUM researchers uncovered that examination and grades as well as feelings of incompetence were the biggest reasons associated with depression, anxiety, and stress.

We spoke to a few Malaysian medical students to uncover the various ways the medical field affects their mental health. Here's what we found:

The names below have been changed to protect the interviewees' identities.

1. Pressure from family members in the industry

Ross, a medical school graduate, first decided to enrol in the degree because of his family."I come from a family who is obsessed with having doctors in the family... They have money. I have an uncle who is a doctor, another who is a dentist, and an aunt who is a doctor. The people they married added another two doctors to the family," Ross told SAYS in a recent interview."My parents are divorced and were in the middle of getting that done when I was in medical school. So my young brain decided that it would be a great idea to relieve my mother of needing to pay for my education by pandering to what my grandparents wanted," he added.

Meanwhile, final-year medical student Chandler revealed that his family of doctors was the biggest factor he was pressured into joining medical school."My parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins are doctors, so the things I wanted to do personally weren't socially acceptable in my house... My parents gave me a choice, what professional course do I want to do if not for medicine, and I couldn't answer them. That's why I joined medicine," Chandler told SAYS.

2. Substance abuse

According to Ross, he relied on alcohol the most during medical school. "I have issues with smoking until today. My peak of alcohol consumption was during medical school," he said. "I have tried marijuana only a few times. No harder drugs. I would say if anything, alcohol was close to getting out of control but not quite," Ross added.

Image via Blue Crest

Meanwhile, Chandler has been using marijuana throughout the last three years of his degree. "I smoke while doing my work. I will admit I overdo it sometimes, but some people drink and some smoke to cope," he told SAYS."I know multiple chronic alcoholics and chainsmokers. One junior told me in first year (of medical school) that he would never smoke, but now he's a chainsmoker," Chandler added.

3. Lethargy and stress from long hours

"We're up by 6am, and we're only back in our rooms at 6pm everyday... We only have four good hours left by the end of the day," Chandler revealed, before adding that most people would prefer not to look at books then. The medical student added that the stress piled on to his anxiety of failing medical school, and it eventually developed into a period of depression for him. "I remember not going to class for two days but I wasn't sick, I just stayed in my room for 48 hours. I just didn't want to see or talk to anybody. I was just tired of it. Medical school felt very prison-like," Chandler said.

4. Fear of abuse

"I was at a really low point where whenever I thought about my degree and what lies ahead of me, I didn't look forward to being a houseman because of all the reports about housemen getting abused. It's something I have seen with my own eyes as well," Joey, a final-year medical student, told SAYS recently."Sometimes they are treated as if they were robots, not needing rest, always being overworked, and at times abused by their supervisors," he added.

Ross claimed that the medical school culture in Malaysia is characterised by "intimidation, fear, and competitiveness". "If you ask me whether I can think of people who have taught me who were downright abusive, sure I can think of a few. But I can also think of those who were so true to their mission to create better doctors that they inspired me," Ross said. "Generally, the medical field has a very poor education and work culture... A majority of doctors get defeated by the culture and end up exactly that. Doctors with very little empathy. Doctors who see patients as registration numbers, bed numbers, and diagnoses rather than people with real lives and real families," he added.

Despite these instances, it does not get better for Malaysian medical students after graduation as there is a lack of placements available

According to a report by The Star in April, the Health Ministry previously announced that doctors, pharmacists, and dentists in the civil service are no longer guaranteed permanent employment. On top of that, Free Malaysia Today reported that a group of housemen, who claimed that mental torture is a common culture, refused to report cases of severe stress and abuse to authorities as it could cost them their careers.

Although theSun reported that efforts have been made by the Health Ministry to reduce housemen's working hours, the existing culture of the country's medical sector remains to be reformed. Perhaps this quote by Chandler, the final-year medical student, will encompass the issue:

			When they get their housemanship, they get a solid RM5,000. But that's a bad way to look at it because to earn that money, you have to go through so much mental stress, sleep deprivation, and abuse.
        Chandler, final-year medical student

Last year, a houseman spoke up about his experience of being roughed up and threatened by a specialist:

                Ampang Hospital Houseman Traumatised After He Was Allegedly Bullied By A Specialist

The houseman lodged a police report after he was roughed up and threatened by a specialist.
