Ughhh, the Malaysian heat. Even if we hide indoors, those freaking panas days leave us sticky from sweat and feeling lethargic, blegh.

On days like that, we desperately try to find ways to cool down. From blasting the air cond to chugging down refreshing cold drinks, we've tried it all. And when the usual methods don't work, it's time to get creative, hehe! ;)

In collaboration with Sprite®, we got Malaysians to tell us the most desperate and ridiculous things they've done to stay cool in our hot weather. Check out their stories:

Note: Some names have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals. This article is for entertainment purposes only, please do not attempt to reenact any of the following stories.

1. "As a bunch of engineering students, my friends and I tried to DIY our own air cond"

"Back in uni, my friends and I stayed in a house without air-conditioning. Why? Because it was cheap. But OMG, we regretted it instantly during breaks when we had to stay in to prep for exams."The fans we had at home were not fast, only the hot air circulated around. So even when we got a breeze, it was usually a warm one. We tried looking up cheap portable air-conditioning units but it was too expensive."So, we put our engineering minds together and came up with an ingenious plan to cool ourselves — make our own air cond! We bought bags of ice from 7-Eleven and placed them in a basin in front of a stand fan, AND BEHOLD, WE BEAT THE HEAT!"- Resh, 26

2. "Sometimes, I put my pillowcases in the fridge to get 'em nice and cold"

"You know that puas feeling when you flip your pillow over to sleep on the cool side? That's what I'm trying to emulate, haha. I don't put my pillowcases in the fridge for too long lah, just about 30 minutes or so. Then I slip 'em on my pillows right before I go wash up for bed. Very syok, you know!"- Nabila, 25

3. "In an attempt to keep cool, I ended up falling asleep in a tempayan"

Image via SAYS

"This happened in my very rural punya kampung, when I was about nine or ten years old. In the toilet, we had a reaaaalllyyy big tempayan with a plastic lid. On a really hot day, I dove into the tempayan while I was taking a bath, put the lid on, and fell asleep in there!"My whole family freaked out 'cause they couldn't find me and was frantically searching everywhere. Eventually, my mum found me sleeping in the tempayan. I got a wallop, but at least I got out from the heat."- Firdaus, 28

4. "I purposely spill water on myself, hahaha. Don't judge, it works okay!"

"When the weather gets a little bit out of control, I get out of control too. I will employ my tactical water spillage strategy when I drink water, so that my clothes get a bit damp."Even though it is just a couple of droplets of water on my clothes, it can cool me down for a bit before it dries off in like five minutes. I only do this in my room lah, haha."- WX, 28

5. "When I was a kid, I once got a good scolding from my mum 'cause I tried to literally sit in the fridge"

Image used for illustration purposes only.
Image via SAYS

"One time, when I was about eight years old, I was alone at home with my kakak after school, and it was a really hot day. I wasn't allowed to turn on the air cond during the day (saving electricity), so of course, the 'MacGyver' in me thought I was very clever to find a loophole — why not empty out the fridge and sit in it to get some form of cold air at home?"I was about halfway through removing some of the shelves when I turned around and saw my kakak just standing there and watching me, as if waiting for the right moment to scold me."I didn't get to actually sit in the fridge, but she did tell my mom and I got quite a bit of scolding for it. Don't do it, kids. When that magnetic door closes, you might not be able to push yourself out."- May, 29

6. "Out of desperation, I once slept on a bunch of ice packs"

Image used for illustration purposes only.
Image via SAYS

"When I moved back to Malaysia after living overseas for years, I really couldn't get used to HOW. FREAKING. HOT. it can get sometimes, ughhh. The pure desperation to cool off must have gotten to me, 'cause I came up with a pretty crazy idea."I basically went out and bought a whole bunch of ice packs. Like a lot, enough to make up a makeshift mattress. I stuck them in the freezer all day, then when I wanted to sleep at night, I lay them out on the floor and slept on them."It wasn't very comfortable lol, but it was so cooling!"- Marvin, 25

7. "I... wear less clothes. Sometimes, I just go naked, hehe."

Image used for illustration purposes only.
Image via SAYS

"I live with no AC and alone, which is a great privilege 'cause it means I can walk around pantsless. Just a big tee and underwear. Hehe. When it's really super panas, I just lie naked on my marble floor. It's soooo cooling."- Jacinta, 27

8. "I put a frozen soft drink bottle down my shirt"

Image used for illustration purposes only.
Image via SAYS

"You know how I got the idea? By watching my sister put a hot water bottle on her stomach when it's her time of the month, hahaha. So, one fine very hot day, I thought, why not do the opposite?"I froze a soft drink bottle, then wrapped it in a towel and put it down my shirt. I tucked my shirt into my pants to make sure the bottle wouldn't fall out. My family cracked up watching me walk around the house like that, but hey, it kept me nice and cold."- Stanley, 23

Man, the desperation to escape from the Malaysian heat sure makes us do some creative things, huh? Hehehe ;)

The next time you wanna beat the heat, you don't have to do such extreme things lah. Just grab a refreshing bottle or can of Sprite instead, ahhhh, so puas!

×

Whether you're suffering under the scorching heat of the sun outdoors or trying to combat feeling all panas and stuffy at home, the lemon and lime drink we all love is a great way to cool down and refresh. Segar lit lit, wei!And in this current MCO situation, where we have to tahan the heat while staying home, grabbing a cold Sprite is a quick and easy way to stay cool.

Plus, with the launch of Sprite in its new clear bottle, it's now more environmentally friendly too!

Image via Sprite (Provided to SAYS)

Shifting from their iconic green bottles to clear ones makes the bottles more easily recyclable. Now you can enjoy the ultimate refreshment from the heat, while being more environmentally conscious at the same time. Don't forget to recycle the bottle once you've drank up all the yummy Sprite, okay?

Whatchu waiting for? Faster beat the heat by grabbing yourself a Sprite today!


How To Get The Best Out Of Fine Dining As A True Malaysian Foodie

Malaysians are really blessed with lots of AMAZING food, the variety and the flavours are guaranteed to make your taste buds dance in excitement

Image via lipstiq

But when it comes to fine dining, Malaysians tend to stay away and would always compare the prices and portions of fine dining to other alternatives

However, those reasons shouldn't stop you from enjoying a fancy meal once a while. Here are some easy steps you can take to appreciate fine dining for what it is.

Image via huffingtonpost.com

1. Increase your knowledge on the various kinds of fine dining - it's not all French! Each one brings something different to the table (pun intended).

Fine dining isn't just about feeling like a refined gentleman or a lady nor is it about knowing which fork to use in different situations. Each restaurant brings something different to diners. For example, Nerovivo in Bukit Bintang is known for their Italian food while Marini's on 57 gives diners an exquisite view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline. Some combine a mix of concepts, such as Elegantology, a fine dining restaurant that also doubles up as a boutique that offers exclusive fashion for both men and women, designed and produced by local designers.

Image via tumblr.com

2. Read up on the values the restaurant stands for and get to know who the chef is

Before heading over to the restaurant, do a simple research on the types of cuisine they serve and learn their food philosophy. Do they believe in preservative-free food? Are they believers of fresh produce? Maybe it's the modern techniques they use? All these little titbits of information will definitely contribute to your overall dining experience.Oh! If possible, do find out more on the head chef as well! Find out what inspires him or her, what are some of the must-try dishes and who knows, your meal may even be cooked by a celebrity chef! ;)

Image via giphy.com

3. At the restaurant, feast your eyes on the unique ambience and savour artistic details of the restaurant. Don't be shy to take photos!

Admit it, you love the decorations and the ambience. You don't have to pretend to be all proper and uppity. Loosen up and soak in the atmosphere with your loved ones, it's a dinner after all. Take pictures, hashtag them, do whatever that floats your boat.

4. Don't limit fine dining just for special occasions

Everyone wants to celebrate good occasions at a fancy restaurant be it graduations, wedding dinners, engagements, or business deals. But why wait for special occasions... when life itself is an occasion to celebrate!Work hard, play harder, have passion; you deserve a glass of wine and a perfect steak for dinner. Let good food pamper you for a change.

5. Instead of calculating the cost of a meal, appreciate the art of fine dining. It's actually quite affordable!

We understand that sometimes the prices may make your blood pressure rise slightly. But when you place yourself in an environment that is at serene, where you have one staff member for every two diners, and ensuring that you're never waiting, the actual cost is truly not exorbitant.Let's break it down per hour: if you hit RM200 per person you will most likely be dining for three-plus hours, roughly RM67 per hour. You cannot get a spa treatment for that, nor a lawyer, nor a joy ride in a Lamborghini.

Image via giphy.com

6. Use all your senses to enjoy the food!

The very process of eating doesn't just involve sight and taste. That's just shortchanging yourself. Instead, learn to notice more that's going on around you. Try (if possible) to listen to the chef searing your steak and the sizzle that hits the grill. Take a deep whiff of the smell that permeates through the air once it is served right in front of you. Take a good look at the food, admire the creation of the hands that made it, take pictures if you must.Don't be afraid to play with your food. Is it crispy? Smooth? Tender? Let each ingredient dance along on your tongue as you have that bite. Mmmm...

7. Last but not the least, close the meal with a dessert. You deserve it!

After all these pointers, you do need a break. What better way than something sweet and Instagram worthy! Dig in!

The cow was killed under one of the jet's wheel

The Boeing 737-900 skidded off the runway after it came into contact with one of three cows wandering around the airport. The pilot told local media he could smell "burning meat" following the incident.

Two passengers were slightly injured as they evacuated from the plane. They were able to leave hospital after treatment, according to Lion Air’s spokesman Leithen Francis.

The airline could not say how the cows managed to get on the runway, which is a four hour flight from the country’s capital Jakarta.

Kenyataan #2Kerja Oleh Ahmad Maslan Jadi Terlampau Viral Sampai Diego Costa Pun Muncul!

Pada Ahad, 27 Disember 2015, Timbalan Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Datuk Ahmad Maslan mengeluarkan kenyataan mengenai #2Kerja bagi menjana kewangan untuk menampung kos sara hidup yang semakin meningkat

Datuk Ahmad Maslan.
Image via greatermalaysia.com

#2Kerja Saya sebut lakukan 2 kerja bukan luar biasa ketika ditanya wartawan, dlm konteks business online /perniagaan atas talian /e-commerce— Ahmad Maslan (@ahmadmaslan) December 28, 2015

Menurut Ahmad, ia bukan sesuatu yang luar biasa, kebanyakan rakyat di negara-negara utama juga melakukan dua pekerjaan.Selain memilih untuk makan gaji daripada hasil dua pekerjaan berlainan, seseorang individu juga disyorkan untuk memulakan perniagaan secara kecilan menerusi perniagaan atas talian."Saya rasa ia (dua pekerjaan) bukanlah satu kesalahan, (walaupun) Malaysia ada peraturan, ia satu cara bagi menangani kos sara hidup juga. Walaupun kerja waktu pejabat (dari jam 8 pagi ke 5 petang), masih boleh buat online business, asalkan datang kerja dengan tidur yang cukup," kata Ahmad Maslan.

        astroawani.com

Bagi menguatkan lagi cadangan itu, beliau mendakwa dirinya sudah pun menggalas 3 pekerjaan berlainan iaitu sebagai Ahli Parlimen, Timbalan Menteri, dan Ketua Penerangan UMNO. #3Kerja

Saya ada 3 kerja: Ahli Parlimen, Timb Menteri, Ketua Penerangan UMNO. Ramai dah di Msia yg buat #2Kerja. Berusaha gigih cari rezeki yg halal— Ahmad Maslan (@ahmadmaslan) December 28, 2015

Rakyat Malaysia yang kian dihimpit kos sara hidup tinggi mendapati kenyataan tersebut tidak munasabah dan dianggap pendek akal. Ruangan komen di Facebook terus banjir dengan pelbagai tohmahan.

Image via Free Malaysia Today/Facebook

Netizen juga sempat "menyekolahkan" Datuk Ahmad Maslan tentang perbezaan jawatan dan pekerjaan. Pelawak negara, Harith Iskander turut tidak lepaskan peluang.

I am a comedian, emcee, writer, actor, coach, director. That does NOT mean I have 6 jobs. It means I do 6 different...Posted by HARITH ISKANDER on Sunday, December 27, 2015

@ahmadmaslan itu jawatan! Kerja pakcik adalah seorang ahli politik. Tu je.— farah (@howonnism) December 28, 2015

@ahmadmaslan kwn sy lagi hebat dr dato,dia buat 4 kerja,jual burger,jual benjo,jual hotdog,jual oblong,pendapatan mncecah 20k sbulan #2kerja— famie (@fahmi_ahmd) December 28, 2015

@ahmadmaslan jadi menteri mmg tak faham perbezaan jawatan dengan kerja ke? shian— bim-bim (@nvddy_) December 28, 2015

@ahmadmaslan tu kerja ke atau jawatan?— Gazali Ramli (GARAM) (@saudagar_garam) December 28, 2015

Sejak daripada it juga, muncul pelbagai troll yang dikaitkan dengan #2Kerja di laman sosial.
Mana satu anda punya favourite?

satu sikap yang kita perlu contohi dari ahmad maslan.

2-tukang gunting pic.twitter.com/FAXizXPDOY— hayati (@smileyhayati) December 30, 2015

Selepas menerima caci maki tanpa henti, Datuk Ahmad Maslan akhirnya bersuara. Menurut beliau, kenyataan #2Kerja yang dikeluarkannya tempoh hari telah disalah erti dan sengaja diputarbelitkan.

Image via www.freemalaysiatoday.com

Isu #2kerja disifatkan sudah terlampau melarat dan lari daripada konteks asal seperti yang disyorkan pada awalnya."Saya kata kerja sedia ada ditambah perniagaan online. Itu yang cerita asalnya. Sekarang sudah melarat macam-macam," katanya kepada Astro AWANI.

        astroawani.com

Sebenarnya, konteks kenyataan tersebut adalah bagi menggalakkan rakyat untuk terlibat dalam online business dan menjadikannya sebagai medium untuk menambahkan pendapatan

Beliau tidak sama sekali menyuruh rakyat untuk melakukan 2 pekerjaan di luar rumah. Cukuplah sekadar mempunyai satu pekerjaan, dan ditambah dengan online business di rumah. Ini konteks sebenar yang cuba beliau sampaikan.

#2Kerja Jika kerja sedia ada waktu siang, boleh business online waktu mlm & hujung minggu asal tak jejas prestasi, boleh tambah pendapatan.— Ahmad Maslan (@ahmadmaslan) December 28, 2015

Tajuk Awani ttg Kerajaan galakkan #2kerja itu tak tepat.Saya sebut MITI galakkan business online utk tambah pendapatan & trend niaga terkini— Ahmad Maslan (@ahmadmaslan) December 28, 2015

Dalam satu majlis baru-baru ini, Ahmad berkata, kementeriannya mengesyorkan semua agensi kerajaan yang berurusan dengan usahawan mikro, kecil dan sederhana agar memberi fokus kepada perniagaan online

Image via Twitter @ahmadmaslan

Jelasnya, perniagaan atas talian, pemasaran elektronik atau e-dagang dilihat akan menjadi trend perdagangan masa depan.Ujarnya lagi, Perbadanan Pembangunan Perdagangan Luar Malaysia (MATRADE) juga menyediakan geran tertentu kepada kumpulan usahawan berkenaan.

        astroawani.com

#2kerja Kpd yg minat ttg online business boleh lihat e-usahawan & e-rezeki yg diuruskan oleh https://t.co/RRZpWEg8Ws pic.twitter.com/AeYHEoQMoP— Ahmad Maslan (@ahmadmaslan) December 28, 2015

Akhir kata dari Ahmad Maslan...

#2Kerja Pandangan asal saya kerja sedia ada + business online. Yg minat, kursus, cuba. Yg tak minat tak perlu marah2 pic.twitter.com/OvgyUo1fts— Ahmad Maslan (@ahmadmaslan) December 29, 2015

#2kerja Saya dikritik ttg cadangan kerja sedia ada + niaga atas talian. Ada juga yg minat & setuju. Fikir positif. Tkasih atas pandangan2.— Ahmad Maslan (@ahmadmaslan) December 29, 2015

6 Ironing Tips That’ll Help You Iron Like A Pro, Save Time, And Not Burn Your Clothes

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

1. Be strategic when choosing where to do your ironing

Image via Leifheit / Real Homes

You can actually save a lot of time just by choosing the right place to do all your ironing. If you do it in or near the room that you simpan all your clothes in, you won't have to waste time carrying all your garments from where you ironed them to where you need to put them away.Plus, you'll be able to immediately hang your baju up as soon as you're done ironing, which will help to keep their shape and avoid wrinkling.

2. Organise your items by fabric type and clothing type

Image via Bustle

You'll need to use different temperature settings for different fabric types, so you'll waste a lot of time if you have to keep switching settings and wait for the iron to heat up or cool down.Instead, organise your clothes according to fabric type before you start ironing, then start with the one that requires the lowest temperature setting. Your iron will heat up as you use it, preparing it for the clothes that need a higher temperature setting.Additionally, sort your baju according to clothing type within the fabric types, as pants, shirts, skirts, and other types of clothes all require different ironing techniques. Grouping them up can help save you a lot of time.Or, if you're malas to kisah about all that, look out for irons that can automatically adjust its temperature to suit different fabrics.

3. Dampen your clothes before you start ironing

Image via Reviewed

Water + heat = being able to tackle wrinkles easily. That's why damp clothes are much easier to iron, saving you plenty of time. Use a spray bottle to slightly dampen your clothes before you start ironing, or just use your iron's steam, spray, or spritz functions.This is an especially great tip for ironing dress shirts, as the additional moisture helps to smooth out wrinkles, leaving you with a super crisp shirt.

4. Never iron your clothes in circular strokes

Image via Philips Malaysia

Why? Because it can cause scratches, stretch the fabric's fibres, and ruin the fit of your clothes, nuuuuuu!To avoid this, iron in lengthwise parallel strokes, always making sure that you're only ironing in one direction. If you find it difficult to remove stubborn wrinkles when ironing like that, use your iron's steam setting for an added boost.

5. Learn little hacks and tricks to help you get perfect results

Image via Good Housekeeping

Here are some examples:- Always iron dark garments and linens inside out to prevent getting sheen and scuff marks from the iron on the front- Struggling to iron pleated clothes? Hold the fabric with paper clips to create the perfect shape, then gently iron with lengthwise strokes.- Prevent wrinkles on freshly-ironed clothes by placing a piece of cardboard between the front and back. This will help to avoid wrinkles on the side you've already ironed.- Put a piece of aluminum foil under the cover of your ironing board. The heat will reflect off the foil, letting you iron both sides of your clothes at once.- Protect delicate materials like silk and lace by placing a clean towel over the garment before ironing on the lowest temperature setting

6. Make sure to keep your iron clean

Image via Which?

Imagine you susah payah wash your clothes, only to get it dirty again when ironing. Sed. A dirty iron plate can discolour your clothes, snag fabrics, or even cause them to burn more easily. It'll also cause less glide, more resistance, and affect the evenness of the heat.Not only will keeping your iron clean and in good condition ensure that it lasts longer and doesn't rosak, it also helps to protect all your pretty baju from being damaged.Whenever you notice rust, marks, dirt, or stickiness, wipe down the iron plate with a cleaning solution and cloth. Alternatively, you can make your own solution by mixing equal parts of distilled white vinegar and water.Another simple trick is to iron a dryer sheet to remove any residue or debris stuck to the iron plate.

For an effortless, hassle-free ironing experience, check out the Philips PerfectCare 9000 Series

He's got style. He's got edge. And most of all, he's crushing streetwear like a pro.

According to South China Morning Post, Kang who is from Wuhan, China, used to be a university professor and has always loved fashion since he was young.As he previously taught a subject about keeping up with the latest technology, Kang believes that life is all about trying new things.

"People at my age usually wear regular clothes," he said in the video by South China Morning Post. "They don't think about fashion. They dress in black, white, or grey. I'm different. I have my own way of matching clothes. I like to be in chic, young-looking outfits.""Those people show that life in retirement is gloomy. That's not the truth," he continued. "I wear streetwear because, to me, it's an attitude – to keep changing, to keep up with trends."

The TikTok fashionista even has his own sneaker wall

Talk about class.

On top of it all, the 83-year-old does sports to keep fit, proving that just because you grow old doesn't mean you need to look drab

Videos show him playing basketball, fencing, and even working out at the gym."Sports keep your body moving, so you stay strong. If you do nothing at home, it affects your mental health too. It's important to keep exercising even as you grow older. Don't become a problem for society or your family," he added.

Here's Where You Can Get Tested For COVID-19 In Each State

Malaysians are currently dealing with the resurgence of COVID-19 in the country

With hundreds of new cases being recorded daily, it must be known that not every healthcare provider in the country has the necessary equipment nor protection to conduct COVID-19 swab tests.The Ministry of Health (MOH) actually has designated hospitals across the country for COVID-19 screening, both in the public and private sectors, that will test you if you fall within certain criteria.The test will cost Malaysians RM1 in public hospitals and health clinics, or RM100 to RM200 for non-Malaysians. Meanwhile, in private hospitals, the test is priced between RM350 and RM500.

Do note that all screening and testing mentioned in this story refers to the current gold standard diagnostic test for COVID-19: the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test that requires nasal or throat swab samples.It is not to be mistaken with the Rapid Antigen Test (RTK) - which requires a blood sample - that the MOH has permitted only for low-risk people looking to get voluntarily tested in private hospitals, which will not be discussed here.

The MOH has listed specific criteria you have to fulfil to get tested

According to the ministry, a suspected COVID-19 case is a person who meets both clinical and epidemiological criteria.Clinical CriteriaUnless there is a more likely diagnosis, COVID-19 is suspected when a person has at least two of the following symptoms:- Fever- Chills or rigors- Myalgia (muscle ache)- Headache- Sore throat- Nausea or vomiting- Diarrhea- Fatigue- Sudden onset nasal congestion or runny noseA person can also be suspected of COVID-19 if they have one of the following symptoms:- Cough- Shortness of breath- Difficulty breathing- Sudden new onset of anosmia (loss of smell)- Sudden new onset of ageusia (loss of taste)Or, if they present with sudden severe respiratory illness with at least clinical evidence of pneumonia (lung infection) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Epidemiological CriteriaA person fulfills this criteria if they have:- Attended an event or been in red zones or areas associated with a known COVID-19 cluster,- Travelled to or resided in a foreign country within 14 days before they begun displaying symptoms, or- Been in close contact to a confirmed case of COVID-19 within 14 days before onset of illness.

The Story Of Two Girls Who Grew Up With The 'Wrong' Parents

Wong Xin Ting was 13 when she realised she wasn't her parent's daughter. She has blood type B, while the rest of her family have O.

Xin Ting realised her blood type was different from that of her family members’ during a health examination at school when she was 13. “My blood type is B while the rest of my family are O. I knew I was different, but I kept it to myself.

        thestar.com.my

Her parents took her to a private lab for a blood test but would never tell her the results. They knew.

“My parents also brought me to a private lab for a blood test later but did not want to tell me the results. I think they knew it then.

        thestar.com.my

Deep down, Xin Ting knew that the man and woman who raised her were not her real parents. When she was 19, her younger sister asked why she had a different blood type. Xin Ting said it was because they were not biological sisters.

Xin Ting only found out that she was not the biological daughter of her parents following a blood test.

        thestar.com.my

Her 44-year-old mother Yap Sau Kuen overhead the conversation. She couldn't keep the secret anymore. She asked Xin Ting if she wanted to find her real parents.

“Two years ago, when I was reading a book on my blood type, my younger sister asked why my blood type was different. I told her I was not her biological sister,” she said. Her mother Yap Sau Kuen, 44, overheard the conversation and asked if she wanted to seek out her real parents.

        thestar.com.my

Xin Ting never wanted to leave the family who raised her.  She just needed to know who her real parents were and it they were living well.

Not for anything will she leave the couple who raised her – even the prospect of being with her real mother and father. “I have never thought of leaving my family. I just wanted to know who my real parents were and if they were living well,” she said.

        thestar.com.my

After getting help from Kota Melaka MP Sim Tong Him, they found Fu Khai Sin's family. Khai Sin was only 40km away.

The family then sought help from Kota Melaka MP Sim Tong Him, who ran numerous checks with the National Registration Department. They eventually traced Khai Sin’s family.

        thestar.com.my

Xin Ting and Khai Sin were born just six minutes apart at the same maternity home in 1993. They were accidentally switched at birth.

Wong Xin Ting and Fu Khai Sin were born at the same maternity home just six minutes apart in 1993, and were inadvertently switched.

        thestar.com.my

They grew up with the wrong biological parents, but they were never far apart

They have since grown up some 40km away from each other in Tampin town and Pengkalan Balak here.

        thestar.com.my

When the two families met each other in December 2012, it was a bittersweet reunion

A meeting between the two families was arranged in December 2012. Yap has no regrets over the search. “I am really glad that I have another daughter now. Their happiness is all I ask for,” she said.

        thestar.com.my

It all came as a shock for Khai Sin who found the entire situation hard to accept

Khai Sin said she felt “strange” when her parents decided to tell her the truth after she had finished her LCCI examinations. “It was so sudden, and I found it hard to accept initially. I remember crying a lot,” she said.

        thestar.com.my

It was also difficult for her mother Bong Choon Moi, 51, to learn that the daughter she raised was not hers. She did not want to lose Khai Sin, but Khai Sin had the right to know.

As for Bong Choon Moi, 51, realising her daughter was not hers was not easy. “It was so hard to accept. I did not want to lose my daughter. “On the other hand, I also wanted to know if my biological daughter was well taken care of. So I reckoned that I had to reveal the truth to Khai Sin as she had the right to know.”

        thestar.com.my

When she saw a picture of Xin Ting, she knew immediately that Xin Ting was her biological daughter. She was happy that Xin Ting was loved and well taken care of like Khai Sin.

Bong said when she first saw Xin Ting’s picture, she knew the young woman was her daughter as they shared similar features. “I feel relieved that she has been loved and well taken care of, just like Khai Sin.”

        thestar.com.my

This story ends with a happy ending. The girls now regard each other as special friends and even celebrated their 21st birthday together.

Two girls were accidentally switched at birth – but it has turned out to be a happy story. They have found one another and they each have a pair of mothers and fathers now.

        thestar.com.my

Both families have been meeting each other, and the girls now regard each other as special friends. They celebrated their 21st birthday recently at Khai Sin’s home in Tampin.

        thestar.com.my

The four parents are happy over the unexpected extension of their families

Bong’s husband, Fu Yew Hatt, 51, and Yap’s husband Wong Nyong Chin, also 51, are both happy over the unexpected extension of their families.

"Let's just be happy for a bigger and merrier family now"

According to the Home Minister, it is not a trivial matter."The police will take action if reports are lodged," he was quoted as saying.

Earlier in February, Kuantan police detained a 45-year-old man under the Sedition Act 1948 for allegedly insulting the Agong:

Before being arrested, the trader was also threatened by two other men.

Am I Completely Nuts To Be Seeing That Dress In White And Gold?!

This photo of a dress has divided the Internet in two, those who see it as blue and black, and those who see it as white and gold

Image via tumblr.com

The fact that a single image could polarize the entire Internet into two aggressive camps is, let’s face it, just another Thursday.But for the past half-day, people across social media have been arguing about whether a picture depicts a perfectly nice bodycon dress as blue with black lace fringe or white with gold lace fringe. And neither side will budge.

        wired.com

Before we go deeper into this colourful phenomenon, take the poll and the view results of what SAYS readers are seeing:

The social media fight over the dress was so heated that Adobe, the makers of Photoshop, had to step in to put an end to it

For those seeing #WhiteandGold in #TheDress (http://t.co/pNG9tXu5pU), @HopeTaylorPhoto ends the debate. pic.twitter.com/W7TwQJy13m— Adobe (@Adobe) February 27, 2015

The story on Buzzfeed generated the MOST traffic in Buzzfeed history, EVER. That's huge. And it's just a dress.

More people on @buzzfeed tonight than ever before. pic.twitter.com/1kbHSjMxqs— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) February 27, 2015

For further proof, BuzzFeed News got in touch with the original poster, Caitlin McNeill. She confirmed that the colour of the dress, having seen it herself, is actually blue and black!

Image via tumblr.com

So really, why are people seeing the dress in different colours? Isn't it obvious what the 'real' colours are?

The answer to that question varies.Explanation 1: The person who took the photo either overexposed it or, most likely, adjusted it after taking it, pumping up the brightness and contrast (or shadows and lights) in her phone, which made it appear white and gold.Explanation 2: The reason people are seeing the dress in different colours is probably it has something to do with the two different types of cells that sense light in your eyes.

Your retina is comprised of rods and cones. Rods are more sensitive to light, but see shapes and not color. Cones are sensitive to color, but less sensitive to light — i.e. in darker conditions, you're seeing more with rods than cones. You have three sizes of cones, blue (smallest) to red (biggest), as seen on the graph above.

        gizmodo.com

What determines how the dress appears to my eyes?

Whether the dress appears as blue/black or white/gold depends on whether your eye has more rods or cones, and also the ambient lighting conditions in the room. (This is thanks to the different colors that are produced by additive and subtractive color mixing.) Different people have different balances of rods and cones — most notably color-blind weirdos like myself — hence different people seeing different colors, and families brutally murdering each other over this mess.But rods are also very sensitive to light. Rod cells detect color using a pigment called rhodopsin, which is very sensitive to low light, but is bleached and destroyed by higher light levels, and takes around 45 minutes to redevelop (why your eyes take time to adapt to night, in other words). Basically, if you look at the dress in bright light conditions, then go away for half an hour into a dark room and come back, the dress will quite probably change color.

        gizmodo.com

However, according to Wired, the actual physiology of your eye might come into play with how you perceive the dress

According to Neitz, an individual’s lens, which is part of the eyeball, changes over the course of one’s lifespan. Individuals are less sensitive to blue light when they are older. Which could explain why older netizens are seeing white and gold. But, in the absence of hard-core data relating to age and perceptions regarding the dress, this theory cannot be proved yet.At the same time, the way the dress is captured on camera could also be playing a significant role in this debate. According to Science Daily, humans are blessed with something called color constancy, which means that while color should be easily identifiable whether you’re in bright or dull lighting, things can change if the lighting is colored.

        time.com

So it's about how my brain is interpreting the light coming into my eyes? Yeah, as BuzzFeed explains:

“We are always making decisions about the quantity of light that comes into our retina,” Riener said. This light, called luminance, is always a combination of how much light is shining on an object and how much it reflects off of the object’s surface, he added.“In the case of the dress, some people are deciding that there is a fair amount of illumination on a blue and black (or less reflective) dress. Other people are deciding that it is less illumination on a white/gold dress (it is in shadow, but more reflective).”This is just like the famous Adelson checkerboard optical illusion. In the image below, square A is exactly the same shade as square B, but they look totally different:

        buzzfeed.com

Image via buzzfed.com

But why is my brain interpreting the light differently than that of, say, my friend?

Our vision is heavily influenced by so-called “top-down” processing, John Borghi, a cognitive neuroscientist at Rockefeller University, told BuzzFeed News. Top-down processing “begins with the brain and flows down, filtering information through our experience and expectations to produce perceptions.”Each person brings a different set of experiences and expectations, as well as attention levels and particular eye movements. For example, what you looked at just before you looked at the dress could influence the way your brain perceived it, Borghi added. “It could also be that you’ve seen dresses (or fabric) with the same texture or shape before, which could also affect your perception.” This general phenomenon is called priming.Interestingly, scientists don’t know much about individual differences in perception, Riener said.“The individual differences tend not to receive as much attention from perceptual researchers, since we focus on how eyes work in general,” he said. “And in general, our eyes work very similarly, since we all live in an environment where the color of the light is generally the same shade of blue.”

        buzzfeed.com

In the image here, WIRED explains that the places some people see as blue do indeed track as blue. But, it probably has more to do with the background than the actual colour.

Image via wired.com

“Look at your RGB values. R 93, G 76, B 50. If you just looked at those numbers and tried to predict what color that was, what would you say?” Conway asks.So…kind of orange-y?“Right,” says Conway. “But you’re doing this very bad trick, which is projecting those patches on a white background. Show that same patch on a neutral black background and I bet it would appear orange.” He ran it through Photoshop, too, and now figures that the dress is actually blue and orange. The point is, your brain tries to interpolate a kind of color context for the image, and then spits out an answer for the color of the dress.

        wired.com

So when context varies, so will people's visual perception

The original image is in the middle. At left, white-balanced as if the dress is white-gold. At right, white-balanced to blue-black!
Image via wired.com

“Most people will see the blue on the white background as blue,” Conway says. “But on the black background some might see it as white.” He even speculated, perhaps jokingly, that the white-gold prejudice favors the idea of seeing the dress under strong daylight. “I bet night owls are more likely to see it as blue-black,” Conway says.

        wired.com

In conclusion, if you are seeing the dress in blue and black:

You are seeing it for what it is. The dress is actually blue and black. As BuzzFeed notes, "you're not easily deceived and haven't got time for bullshit. You're no-nonsense and probably smarter than everyone else. You are to the point, stoic, and understanding. You have no time for the frivolous nature of "gold and white" lovers. The world is a real place, and you see things the way they really are."

However, if you are seeing the dress in white and gold:

Image via buzzfed.com

"You’re imaginative and creative. You’re not bound by “reality” and know there’s more to things than meets the eye. You’re wrong about a lot of things, but your headstrong nature sees you often convince people otherwise. For you, it’s all about attitude."

Jangan Sia-Siakan, Ini 5 Waktu Paling Mustajab Untuk Berdoa Dalam Bulan Ramadan

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

Bulan Ramadan merupakan satu-satunya masa yang semua umat Islam nantikan pada setiap tahun

Selain dari teruja menyambut syawal yang bakal tiba, banyak ibadah khas boleh dilakukan selain berpuasa contohnya menunaikan solat tarawih, bersahur, qiamullail dan sebagainya.Bukan itu saja, sebenarnya terdapat beberapa waktu mustajab untuk kita berdoa dalam bulan mulia ini. Bukanlah waktu lain tidak mustajab, cuma bulan Ramadan memberikan keistimewaan lebih buat umat Islam untuk memanjatkan doa pada yang Maha Esa.Berikut di bawah kami kongsikan lima waktu mustajab untuk berdoa semasa bulan mulia ini:

1. Waktu sahur

Sahur merupakan waktu yang penting untuk kita mengisi perut sebelum mula berpuasa setiap hari. Ia juga merupakan ibadah yang diberi ganjaran oleh Allah SWT. Selain itu, waktu ini juga mustajab untuk berdoa.Allah SWT berfirman: “Ketika waktu sahur (akhir-akhir malam), mereka berdoa memohon ampun.” – Surah Adz Dzariyat: Ayat 18.

Image via CNN Indonesia

2. Waktu azan berkumandang

Sebelum berbuka puasa, kita akan menghidangkan pelbagai juadah di atas meja makan betul tak? Sebenarnya, anda digalakkan berdoa semasa azan berkumandang kerana ia juga adalah waktu yang sangat mustajab.Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Doa tidak tertolak pada dua waktu, iaitu ketika azan berkumandang dan saat perang berkecamuk ketika kedua kubu saling menyerang.” – Hadis riwayat Abu Daud.

3. Semasa berpuasa dan menjelang iftar

Puasa adalah rukun Islam yang ketiga. Setelah seharian menahan lapar dan dahaga, anda digalakkan untuk berdoa semasa dan menjelang waktu berbuka puasa sebagai tanda meraikan setiap hari di bulan Ramadan.Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Ada tiga golongan yang doa mereka tidak ditolak: (1) orang yang berpuasa hingga ia berbuka, (2) pemimpin yang adil dan (3) doa orang yang dizalimi.” – Hadis riwayat Ibnu Tarmidzi.

4. Malam Lailatul Qadar

Lailatul Qadar merupakan malam yang lebih baik dari 1000 bulan. Malah, malam istimewa ini adalah antara malam yang sering dinanti-nantikan oleh setiap umat Islam semasa bulan Ramadan. Oleh itu, malam Lailatul Qadar adalah waktu yang mustajab untuk berdoa.Ummum Mu’minin Aisyah RA bersabda: “Aku bertanya kepada Rasulullah: Wahai Rasulullah, menurutmu apa yang sebaiknya aku ucapkan jika aku menemukan malam Lailatur Qadar? Baginda bersabda: Berdoalah: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni [Ya Allah, sesungguhnya engkau Maha Pengampun dan menyukai sifat pemaaf, maka ampuni”] – Hadis riwayat Tirmidzi.

5. Sepertiga malam

Selalunya, waktu sepertiga malam ini digunakan untuk solat tahajud. Sepertiga dari malam terakhir adalah waktu yang penuh keberkatan kerana Allah SWT turun ke syurga dunia dan mengabulkan setiap doa hamba-Nya.Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Rabb kita Tabaraka wa Ta’ala turun ke langit dunia ketika tersisa sepertiga malam terakhir. Lantas Allah berfirman: Siapa sahaja yang berdoa kepadaKu, nescaya akan Aku kabulkan. Siapa yang meminta kepadaKu, nescaya Aku beri. Siapa yang meminta ampunan kepadaKu, nescaya akan Aku ampuni.” – Hadis riwayat Al Bukhari dan Muslim.

[NEW UPDATE] #TPPA: Storm Brewing Over Obama's Visit On Oct 11

Wikileaks Exposé On TPPA Set To Create More Protests

Pressure is set to mount on Putrajaya over the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) after whistleblower group WikiLeaks released portions of the secretive trade deal that support fears it may force Malaysians to pay more for medicine.

        yahoo.com

According to the draft of Intellectual Property (IP) Rights chapter published online by WikiLeaks, the United States — seen as the key driver of the deal — is pushing for a five-year ban against the introduction of generic equivalents to patented medicine.
This would also apply from the date a drug undergoes marketing approval in the signatory state, rather than from the date it was originally patented.

        malaysiandigest.com

In Article QQ.E.16 titled “Submission of Information or Evidence Concerning the Safety or Efficacy of a New Pharmaceutical Product”, it was proposed that a country shall not “authorise a third person to market a same or a similar product” in its territory for at least five years from the date of the approval given to the original product.

        malaysiaedition.net

This may prolong the period that cheaper generic versions of the drug cannot be made available, a fear that members of the medical fraternity and opposition lawmakers opposed to the murky trade deal have previously voiced.

        yahoo.com

In August, Putrajaya vowed to reject any proposal that would block Malaysians from accessing affordable medicine in the agreement, noting widespread concerns raised over a likely surge in healthcare prices should the trade deal be formalised.

Minister of International Trade and Industry urges Malaysians not to demonstrate against Obama when he visits Malaysia on Oct 11

The government is urging Malaysians not to hold demonstrations against US President Barack Obama over the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement during his official visit in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 11.

        themalaysianreserve.com

International Trade and Industry Minister (Miti) Mustapa Mohamed said the government is well aware of some demonstrations being planned by anti-TPPA groups, to be staged during Obama’s visit.
“There is no reason for the groups to hold the protest as negotiations for the TPP agreement are far from settled.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

"I would also stress that President Obama's visit to Malaysia has nothing to do with the TPPA and he is not coming here to ink the agreement as claimed by certain quarters," he told Datuk Dr Makin Marcus Mojigoh (BN-Putatan) during Question Time.

        thestar.com.my

Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said the TPPA talks have yet to be concluded and assured Malaysians that Putrajaya will not sign if it compromised the country’s sovereignty or Bumiputera rights.

        themalaysianinsider.com

On October 11, Obama will attend the Kuala Lumpur 4th Global Entrepreneurship Summit, a US initiative to reach out to the Muslim world. It will be the first visit by a US president to Malaysia in 47 years, after the late President Lyndon B. Johnson's visit in October 1966.

Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia says they will protest against Obama despite Miti's warning

A protest planned against the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) during President Barack Obama’s visit to Malaysia next month will go ahead, snubbing Putrajaya’s call to the public yesterday not to hold such protests.

        yahoo.com

The pro-opposition Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) will continue with their protests against Malaysia's participation in the TPPA, saying it wants to highlight the public's rejection of the ongoing negotiations.

        yahoo.com

"The protests against Obama's visit will continue at KLCC on Oct 11. On Oct 10, the summit of the #Bantah Obama #Tolak TPPA will be held at the Sultan Sulaiman Club in Kampung Baru where Dr Mahathir and opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be invited to voice their opinions against the TPPA,” SAMM propaganda director Edy Noor Reduan said in a statement today.

Malaysia delays TPPA to conduct two studies on the national impact of the TPPA and bumiputera SME business owners

Malaysia's plan to run two cost-benefit analyses (CBA) is likely to delay the Washington-led Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA). One of the CBA will study TPPA's effect on national interests, while the other focuses on small and medium-scale enterprises and the bumiputra business community.

        themalaymailonline.com

One study will focus on overall impact of the trade pact on the national interest. The other will examine how the interests of small and medium companies and of those businesses owned by indigenous population would be affected if the TPP free-trade comes into force.

        wsj.com

High on the priority is the concern that Malaysia will have to sacrifice its affordable, government-regulated healthcare and medicine.

        themalaymailonline.com

Under the wide-ranging pact, TPP members are expected to reduce subsidies, eliminate favorable treatment in government procurement and end other advantages that state-linked enterprises enjoy.

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) says rejecting TPPA will put Malaysia at a disadvantage

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) is having an open day to explain the pact that potentially covers an 800 million-strong market across 12 nations when it is completed as early as this October.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Malaysia will be at a disadvantage in terms of seeking a bigger market access for its products if the country decides to abandon the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA ), the International Trade and Industry ministry (MITI) said today.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

"The successful conclusion of the TPP will form a huge duty free market of 800 million people with a combined GDP of US$27.5 trillion.  This far surpasses Malaysia’s limited domestic market of 29.5 million people and a GDP of US$300 billion," it added.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“The TPPA offers Malaysia the opportunity to be part of a duty-free consumer market that has 800 million people.” “Abandoning the TPPA negotiations now would mean allowing other countries to set the terms of the agreement without having to consider the interests and concerns of Malaysia,” he said.

        f8.my

"Malaysia has made it clear that the Agreement MUST NOT have a negative impact on the healthcare of Malaysians. Malaysians must continue to receive quality healthcare and have access to affordable medicines, including generic drugs.  The TPP will have to work around these priorities," it said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“Also, there is a lot of secrecy because negotiators do not want to publicly disclose their bargaining positions to ensure the best outcome during the negotiations,” he said.

Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) is a free trade agreement between 9 countries

TPPA stands for Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) and is also known as the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement.  It is a multilateral free trade agreement currently being negotiated by 11 countries, led by the US. Malaysia is one of the parties negotiating in the TPPA.

        najistppa.org

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is an FTA initiative involving eleven (11) countries, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, United States and Vietnam

The objective of the negotiations is to develop an Free Trade Agreement agreement which will be able to adapt and incorporate current issues, concerns and interests.

        miti.gov.my

It aims to further liberalise the economies of the Asia-Pacific region.  Covering a broad spectrum of areas and has 29 chapters (and counting), some areas affect our public health, environment and courts system.

Malaysia's involvement with the TPPA according to the Ministry of Trade and Industry

The rational behind for Malaysia’s participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement may be attributable to the herd mentality that surrounds regional trade agreements.

        globalresearch.ca

The TPP accounts for a third of Malaysia's global trade. Together with Malaysia's other FTAs, this would increase Malaysia's share of global trade covered under preferential treatment to above 70 per cent.

        miti.gov.my

The TPP could be perceived as the primary vehicle for advancing economic cooperation and investment liberalisation in the Asia Pacific region.

        miti.gov.my

Although Malaysia has FTA agreements with most of the TPP members, the Trans-Pacific Partnership is a positive step towards deeper integration within the Asia Pacific region and would allow Malaysia to engage the US, which remains an important trading partner and source of investment.

The impact of TTP on Malaysia (Click on image for explanation)

The TPPA could have serious implications for environmental laws and regulations. It may constrain the ability of the government to implement measures and policies to protect public health and environment.
Image via najistppa.org

The entire TPPA is subject to Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS). This means that the government of a country can be sued at the biased international tribunal ICSID (International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes) for unlimited damages based on estimated loss of profits.
Image via najistppa.org

The TPP may restrict the ability of governments to use controls on the flow of capital as part of a broader range of policies to prevent and/or mitigate financial crises. Even though finance experts and institutions such as the International Monetary Fund has acknowledged the role of capital controls to stabilize economies, the use of such controls by the Malaysian government may subject it to legal suits by investors who seek to guarantee the free flow of their money into and out of countries – even though their actions may bring about financial and currency instability, destroy jobs and affect the social and economic welfare of millions of people as experience in the 1997 and 2007/2008 financial crises.
Image via najistppa.org

The TPP may make it harder for computer users to make even “buffer” (temporary) copies of documents; download music; and Internet Service Providers may be able to bar users from the Internet for violation of copyright.  ISPs are encouraged to implement measures like ‘three strikes’ after which users are barred from the internet for infringement offences.

With the TPPA, access to affordable, life-saving medicines for millions of people is under threat as big pharmaceutical companies seek higher protections for their patents and clinical data and to make it harder for generic companies to produce affordable generic medicines.
