Judges At The High Court Complex In KL Have Been Cleaning Their Own Toilets

For several weeks now, judges at the High Court complex in Kuala Lumpur have been cleaning their own dirty toilets due to a strike by the cleaners who claim they are not being paid by the contractor

According to a report in The Star Online, dated 28 July, the cleaners have reportedly been on strike since the fasting month, claiming they have not been paid.However, it was reported that the contractor has been paid by the Government in advance and that the cleaning service was supposed to last for the entire year.

The situation at the High Court complex is reportedly so bad that the newly appointed Chief Justice Tan Sri Richard Malanjum has organised a mass volunteering session for Sunday, 29 July

Apparently, the situation at the complex has been this deplorable since before the new Chief Justice took the post. Now, he is requesting all court staff and judges to be present on Sunday for a good clean-up of the High Court complex.According to a senior lawyer interviewed by The Star Online, the state of cleanliness at all levels of the High Court complex is so deplorable that "the stench .. well it attacks the senses way before the sight of it does."

Some of the High Court staff have even taken to social media to post how they are doing "cleaners' job" now, the English daily said

A High Court judge, whom The Star Online interviewed, said that she has been "washing my (own) washroom", adding that it would something hard to imagine her cleaning her toilet at the court when she hasn't "had to do it since years ago at home."Now, the High Court judge is reportedly planning to take her housemaid to the court complex to get her to clean her chambers, her court and the washroom."I will need to pay my maid extra for this," she was reported as saying by the Star Online, adding that the current situation was entirely undesirable.

There is no word on the strike situation imposed by the cleaners as to when it will be over. Till then, the judges and their staff not only have documents and papers to go through but also a dirty court.

This Beautiful Reporter's Scary Plastic Surgery Transformation Will Break Your Heart

Meet the latest face of South Korea's rising cosmetic surgery trend: an unnamed woman whose quest for a heart-shaped face is making headlines worldwide

The unnamed woman, allegedly a reporter on a South Korean TV channel, has undergone jaw surgery in order to achieve the dainty heart-shaped face desired by many east Asian women.

Before and after: The South Korean woman looks drastically different after undergoing plastic surgery

South Koreans currently have more plastic surgery than in any other country according to recent figures, with the craze particularly popular among 19 to 49-year-olds

        dailymail.co.uk

According to RocketNews24, commenters writing on a Japanese internet forum, had some nasty comments

“Someone please tell me this was Photoshopped!” wrote one.

        rocketnews24.com

“Is it really possible to taper someone’s chin that much?” says another.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

South Korea is the world's largest market for plastic surgery, with one in five Seoul women having gone under the knife

The most popular surgical procedures include double eyelid surgery - which reduces excess skin in the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear bigger, lipoplasty - which uses high-frequency sound waves to eliminate fat - and nose jobs.

        gizmodo.com

The popularity of surgery, particularly among the young, has been blamed by some on a desire to look more 'western' fuelled by an obsession with celebrity culture. On the nonsurgical front, Botox and laser hair removal remain firm favourites, a 2012 report said.

        dailymail.co.uk

Commentors went so far they even compared the woman to a goblet in a photograph and uploaded to a Japanese online forum

HappyFresh And Dreamr Deliver Christmas Presents To 100 Children With Autism

HappyFresh and Dreamr recently delivered Christmas gifts to 100 autistic children of all ages around Kuala Lumpur

Image via Dreamr (provided to SAYS)

HappyFresh is Southeast Asia’s leading online grocery service provider, while Dreamr is a social enterprise that focuses on supporting children’s education.The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) reached out to parents of autistic children to register for the programme. NASOM revealed that in recent years, there has been a spike in the number of people seeking its services across all age groups. Due to financial constraints and their dependency on public charity, the NGO has struggled to keep up with the demand.

This year, the children received carefully curated gifts based on their age and special needs

Image via Dreamr (provided to SAYS)

Hu Hun Hui, Managing Director of HappyFresh Malaysia was one of the crew of delivery personnel dressed in festive outfits while delivering gifts to the children’s home, one by one. He said, “We are very excited and humbled to be working with Dreamr on another initiative. It serves as an opportunity for us to continue to give back to the communities affected by this pandemic, and what better way by spreading the joy in the form of presents.”

Image via Dreamr (provided to SAYS)

Dreamr has been collaborating with startups, corporates, and the Ministry of Education to create targeted and meaningful social impact

“We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with HappyFresh yet again, this time to put smiles on the faces of children with very special needs,” said Adrian Lafage, Co-founder of Dreamr.

Image via Dreamr (provided to SAYS)

In July 2020, Dreamr and HappyFresh partnered to provide a healthy breakfast to students at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Cheras. Upon approval by the Ministry of Education, the breakfast meals consisting of products sponsored by Goodday, Tropicana, and Oat Krunch, as well as assorted fruits and muesli bars, were provided to over 150 students in attendance while still adhering to the social distancing guidelines.

Since the initial Movement Control Order (MCO), HappyFresh has seen a fall in spending power and have since lowered their delivery fee

In fact, delivery is now free for a certain average basket size. The delivery company also removed their minimum spend threshold at various supermarkets and stores, so that online grocery shopping remains affordable for all households.

"Mecca, Makkah Atau Mekah?" - Hanya Satu Ejaan Yang Betul Ini Diiktiraf Arab Saudi & OIC

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

Umum sedia maklum, apabila tulis nama atau perkataan Arab dalam huruf Rumi, perbezaan ejaan pasti suatu perkara lazim yang kita temui

Lihat sahaja perkataan seperti “Quran” atau nama seperti “Muhammad”. Setiap satu pasti ada banyak variasinya. Bagi Quran, terdapat kepelbagaian cara ejaan lain seperti al-Quran, Koran, Quraan, Qur’an dan sebagainya mengikut kaedah sistem bahasa di negara tertentu.Selain itu, lebih banyak lagi variasi bagi perkataan Muhammad yang dieja Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamed, Muhammet, Mohammad, Mehmet, Mehmed, Muhd, Mohd, Md dan sebagainya.Begitupun, menurut laporan Arab News, satu hakikat mengenai perkataan Arab yang mungkin kurang diketahui ramai ialah ejaan Makkah.Walhal cara betul penggunaan huruf Rumi sudah lama dimuktamadkan dan telah ditetapkan melalui satu perintah diraja Arab Saudi dengan ejaan tunggal yang betul iaitu ‘Makkah’.

Makkah terletaknya Kaabah yang juga kiblat tunggal umat Islam seluruh dunia.
Image via AFP

Ejaan “Makkah” digunakan dalam semua urusan sektor pemerintah dan swasta dalam negara itu apabila diselaras ejaannya dengan huruf Rumi

Arab News melaporkan bahawa meskipun demikian kebanyakan pihak berkuasa di luar negara masih sengaja mengeja nama kota suci tersebut sebagai “Mecca” sehingga melawan titah Raja Arab Saudi.Realitinya ejaan seragam ini diarahkan Allahyarham Raja Fahd Abdul Aziz yang ketika itu Putera Mahkota dengan mengeluarkan titah yang mengisytiharkan cara ejaan "Mecca" sebagai salah.Pada tahun 1980-an, baginda mengarahkan ejaan “Makkah” digunakan dalam semua urusan sektor pemerintah dan swasta dalam negara itu apabila diselaras ejaannya dengan huruf Rumi.

Image via AFP

Menurut Arab News lagi, Liga Dunia Muslim, sebuah badan tidak mengaut keuntungan yang ada beberapa pejabat di serata dunia, turut menekankan satu penggunaan ejaan yang ditetapkan.Ini adalah penting sebagai tanda hormat terhadap kemuliaan tanah suci dan masyarakat Islam ditambah pula Makkah terletaknya Kaabah yang juga kiblat tunggal umat Islam seluruh dunia.Ejaan Makkah turut diperakui Pertubuhan Kerjasama Islam (OIC) yang berpusat di Jeddah dan pelbagai agensi media antarabangsa termasuk Pertubuhan Berita Nasional Malaysia (Bernama). Walau bagaimanapun, hasil carian SEISMIK di Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu pula menunjukkan ejaan perkataan Makkah dan Mekah, kedua-duanya turut diterima pakai di negara ini.

Semoga perkongsian info ini bermanfaat untuk kita semua! Ingat ejaan yang betul Makkah ya, bukan Mecca.

Apa yang lebih menarik perhatian adalah apabila dia sempat berkata pengurus itu menyuruhnya berambus dari kedai. Perkara itu membuatkan pelanggan tidak berpuas hati dan terus bertekak. "Why did you call me mampus?", kata pelanggan."I didn't say mampus", kata pengurus. "He said berambus", kata seorang rakan kerjanya. "Why are you so angry? We asked for what we want. We are customers, right? Do we have the right (to make a request)?", kata pelanggan. Manager A&W dilihat cuba sedaya upaya untuk menerangkan situasi yang sebenar. Dia cuba memberitahu kepada pelanggan bahawa penukar ayam hanya terhad kepada dua hingga tiga ketul dan bukan semua. Konflik itu tidak terhenti di situ saja, pelanggan itu dilihat naik angin sambil meninggikan suaranya. Dia sempat mempertikaikan tingkah laku seorang pengurus kepada pelanggan. Pelanggan yang terdiri daripada suami isteri itu juga sempat memberitahu mereka hanya pekerja bukan pemilik restoran. Akhirnya, pengurus itu ditenangkan oleh rakan kerjanya dan disuruh masuk ke dapur belakang supaya tidak mencetuskan sebarang konflik lagi.

Jewellery Store In One Utama Robbed Of RM10 Million During CNY Holidays

Latin American Gang Pulled Off The Perfect RM10 Million CNY Jewellery Shop Heist

Police investigations have revealed that slick Latin American robbers are behind the clean robbery at a jewellery store in 1 Utama shopping complex during the Chinese New Year holiday stretch.

        malaysiandigest.com

Abdul Rahim said police have leads that the perfect crime was carried out by four Latin American suspects.
“Based on statements that were recorded from witnesses and the CCTV footage taken from the mall, it clearly indicates the suspects are Latin Americans,” he said.

        yahoo.com

“It was a well-planned robbery. The four had caused a power cut, resulting in a blackout in the mall for an hour on Sunday night. We believe they made their entry into the mall then,” Abdul Rahim said. He also said the suspects were experienced robbers as they managed to crack a highly sophisticated security alarm system.

        malaysiandigest.com

"There was a sudden cut in electricity on Sunday night for about an hour which we believe is linked to the gang when they sneaked into the mall. The thieves also stole a CCTV recorder which was mounted in the goldsmith store. After viewing security cameras in the mall, our findings show they appear to be foreigners, possibly Latin Americans." Abdul Rahim said at a press conference at the Kajang district police headquarters today.

        thesundaily.my

He said the burglar alarm at the store did not trigger as thieves had deactivated motion sensors. He said except for a wire cutter, the thieves also took along all the break-in equipment including a gas welding blowtorch they brought with them.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The suspects would have had to be in the premise for at least five to 10 hours. Security guards on duty in the mall patrolled the building when the electricity went off, but they did not find anything suspicious. “The suspects could have made an exit after they made sure that there were no security guards around.”

        themalaymailonline.com

Initial Reports Stated A Loss Of RM1 Million, But The Store Manager Now Claims The Losses Were Close To RM10 Million

Abdul Rahim said although it was yet to be verified, the store personnel had estimated the loss at RM10 million.

        thesundaily.my

Selangor deputy police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Jaafar said investigations suggest the suspects could be the notorious Latin American robbers who made headlines in 2012 and last year for their involvement in a string of automated teller machine thefts in the country.

        themalaymailonline.com

DCP Abdul Rahim said the suspects also made off with the closed circuit television (CCTV) recorder and equipment to break open the safe box, not dismissing possibilities that an insider may have been an accomplice.

Petaling Jaya: A jewellery store in a shopping mall in Damansara was robbed while its employees were on leave for the holiday season.
It is believed that the stolen jewellery were worth more than RM1mil.

The Robbers Took All The Jewellery Inside The Safe Totalling Up To RM 1 Million

Although police were still totalling the actual losses, the source said the figure was more than RM1 million.
“They took all the jewellery stored inside the safes, and left only small items, such as rings and bracelets, that do not cost very much.”

        malaysiandigest.com

“This is the estimated loss as stated by store officials but they are trying to confirm this. We are in the middle of gathering evidence which, we hope, will help lead us to the crooks. We also urge those with information to come forward and assist us in the probe,” he said.

        thesundaily.my

The Shop Was Closed On Thursday (30 Jan 2014). When Employees Returned To The Shop On 3 Feb 2014, They Were Shocked To Find Two Of The Three Safes Had Been Broken Into.

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Arjunadi Mohamed said the store, which was closed from Thursday, was due to open yesterday.
Instead, the store’s employees came in at 10am to find two of the three safes containing jewellery were broken into.

        themalaymailonline.com

A store employee, who declined to be named, said she was surprised to see more than half of the jewellery missing when she came in yesterday morning.

        malaysiandigest.com

The burglary at Wah Chan Jewellers is believed to have occurred sometime between Friday and yesterday as workers only realised the shop had been burgled when they came back from the holidays at 9.30am today.

        thesundaily.my

The Employees Had Followed Standard Operating Procedures To Deposit All The Jewellery Into The Safe Boxes At The Back Of The Store Before Leaving For Holidays

“Following standard operating procedures, the employees deposited the jewellery into safe boxes at the end of their shift on Jan 29.
“They kept the safe boxes in rooms located at the back of the store before leaving for their holiday,” said ACP Arjunaidi.

        thestar.com.my

Employee:
“We made sure all the security was in place before we left for the holidays. I don’t know how the culprit managed to break in unnoticed.”

        yahoo.com

Police Believes The Robbers Had Entered The Store Through The Back Door While The Store Was Closed For Four Days

It is believed that police are working on the theory that the burglars had stayed behind after closing hours on Friday to stage the heist.

        thesundaily.my

Arjunaidi said police believe the culprit had entered the store through its back door during one of the four days the store was closed.

        yahoo.com

“We believe that the culprits had entered the premises through the rear door as there are signs of forced entry on the door.

        thestar.com.my

The Robbers Managed To Open The Safe By Melting The Safe Doors Using An Oxy-Acetelene Torch

“We received the report at 10.40am and upon inspection, noticed that the safes, stored in the back room of the store, were broken into with an oxy acetelene torch used to melt safe doors,” said Arjunaidi.

        themalaymailonline.com

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said they had gained entry into the shop from a rear door before using an oxyacetalene torch to break into a vault where the jewellery was stored.

He added that police are still investigating as to why the removal of jewellery from the store did not set off the security alarm.
“We are waiting to review the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the store.

        thestar.com.my

A police forensic team spent about five hours checking the store yesterday for evidence besides lifting fingerprints.
Investigators are baffled as to how the burglars managed to remain unnoticed despite the presence of security guards on duty at the mall.

        thesundaily.my

Police Are Not Dismissing The Probability Of An Inside Job

“The store was equipped with an alarm, but somehow it was turned off during the holidays.”
A police source said: “We suspect it might be an inside job, because everything was organised professionally and the culprit knew the workings of the store, such as how to turn off the alarm and where the CCTV recordings were stored.”

        yahoo.com

He said police have retrieved a closed-circuit security camera recording and will record statements from the mall’s security guards.

Vulgar Tweets By MCMC Account In 2014 Leads To Full-Blown Investigation

Yesterday, 12 January, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) issued a statement imploring the public to be courteous when posting online amidst the state of emergency

In the statement that was published by their official Twitter account, MCMC noted that they will be monitoring the spread of false information and statements that touch on the '3Rs' — race, religion, and royalty.

This came after the latest announcements on the Movement Control Order (MCO) and state of emergency.MCMC warned that such statements can be punished under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act with a maximum fine of RM50,000, a prison sentence of one year, or both.

Kenyataan Media:

PENGGUNA MEDIA SOSIAL DIINGATKAN JAGA KESOPANAN DAN KESUSILAAN KETIKA MEMBERIKAN PANDANGAN ATAU...Posted by Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia on Tuesday, January 12, 2021

After that, some netizens responded to the statement with screenshots of vulgar tweets from 2014 that appear to have been published by the MCMC official Twitter account

Screenshots uploaded show several tweets from the MCMC account which contains slurs and other vulgar terms.

MCMC then suspended the account and issued a statement claiming that they were hacked

MCMC wrote, "We would like to inform that the official Twitter account @SKMM_MCMC was hacked by an irresponsible party. Following that, the official Twitter account @SKMM_MCMC has been temporarily suspended."They also added that the public should not be influenced by the "suspicious, ugly, and defamatory messages that have been uploaded through the account, which are not from MCMC".

The MCMC has issued a statement following the deletion of its official account, saying it was "hacked".This comes as tweets and screenshots of offensive tweets allegedly posted by the account in 2013- 2014 went viral today, 12 January. pic.twitter.com/JLvA1ZKmH4— Latest on SAYS (@saysdotcom) January 12, 2021

However, a Twitter user came forward and claimed that the tweets being circulated belonged to him

The man, known as @NazruiHakim or Naz, wrote, "Hi. I sold the account when I was in Form 3 or 4. When it had 50,000 followers. I did not delete the old tweets because it did not cross my mind."He then added that he sold the account to another user with the Twitter username @SaidOsem. "So I didn't know that after that it became the official Twitter account for MCMC," he said.

Hi.Acc tu aku jual time aku form 3/4. When it was 50k followers. Aku tak delete tweet lama, sbb tk terlintas dlm fikiran.Tyha. Dia dh jadi ex aku. Jgn tanya kenapa! HzjsjsjsjsAku jual acc tu dkt @/SaidOsem. So aku tak tahu after that acc tu dh jadi official MCMC punya twtr.—  (@NazruiHakim) January 12, 2021

According to Malay Mail, the person who purchased the Twitter account is believed to be either a current or former staff member at the commission.

They also reported that when a person or entity wishes to acquire an account that has already amassed a considerable number of followers straight away, it is considered as account trading and it violates Twitter's terms and conditions.

People then called for MCMC to address the issue and clarify why they reportedly bought the account

Lim Kit Siang's political secretary Syahredzan Johan issued a statement saying that MCMC and the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (KKMM) must come clean. He noted that Naz's claim raises several questions that need to be answered. "First, is it true that MCMC's account used to be a personal account as alleged? If true, what need is there for MCMC to take over a personal account?" the statement read."If it was taken over by MCMC, is it true that payments were made? Was the payment, as claimed by @NazruiHakim, made by MCMC and how much was paid? Lastly, if MCMC did make payments, did it go through the right government procurement process?"

Kenyataan media saya: SKMM dan @kkmm_gov harus berterus-terang mengenai akaun Twitter SKMM. pic.twitter.com/sEDtWEFQhl— Syahredzan  (@syahredzan) January 13, 2021

Meanwhile, co-founder of the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) Lim Wei Jiet wrote, "Everyone knows MCMC unprofessionally bought over a rempit's account, and not because of 'diceroboh' (hacked)."So, MCMC, which has been asking rakyat not to spread fake news, is now spreading fake news.""Oh, and by the way, [Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998] makes it an offence to spread fake news," he added.

Everyone knows MCMC unprofessionally bought over a rempit's account, and NOT because of "diceroboh".So, MCMC, which has been asking rakyat not to spread fake news, is now spreading fake news.Oh & btw, Sec 233 of the Comms Act makes it an offence to spread fake news. https://t.co/BR16RT1T0t— Lim Wei Jiet  (@limweijiet) January 12, 2021

Gobind: Malaysia's Anti-Fake News Act Will Be Repealed As Soon As Possible

The first Anti-Fake News Act will be repealed, said Malaysia's new Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo on Monday, 21 May

He added that it will be brought to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad so that it could be done as soon as possible, according to Malay Mail.

Image via Liveatpc

The act, tabled by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Azalina Othman, was officially gazetted in April as a way to combat fake news.According to the act, those who maliciously create, publish, or spread fake news would be liable to maximum RM500,000 fine, six years jail, or both.

"Media freedom is my priority," he said to reporters after he and 12 other ministers took their oath in office before Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V in Istana Negara yesterday

"The media churning out news and publishing companies are bound by the existing laws so we have to look at it that way and we have to find ways to improve the freedom of press in the country. And I am committed to doing so," the minister said.He added that he will create a group of legal experts to see the impact of the law so far. "Where there are shortcomings, we will try to improve," he told reporters."We will set the time-frame, in the first 100 days, we have to deliver but how much time is required, I will discuss with my officials tomorrow." he said, as reported by The Star.

Meanwhile, the new Transport Minister hopes to ban bribes taken during driving license tests:

[VIDEO] Stall Operator In Sarawak Lets A Hungry Stray Dog 'Tapau' A Bag Of Chicken Rice

A slightly less than two-minute-long video on Facebook shows a hungry stray dog patiently waiting at a chicken rice stall in Sarawak as the operator packs an entire bag of chicken rice for him

Image via Alex Sim/Facebook

According to a Malay Mail, the good doggo is a regular at the stall in Sibu.

The video shows the dog, nicknamed 'Little White' by the stall operator, approaching the stall. However, the mind-mannered dog shows absolute obedience once the operator asks him to wait.

As the stall operator starts packing a generous amount of rice and chicken in a plastic bag, the dog waits patiently. Once the operator hands the packed bag to the dog, he carefully grips it in its mouth, before making its way out of the premises.

Image via Alex Sim/Facebook

The video, posted on Thursday, has over 107k views on Facebook

At the time of writing, it has been shared more than 1.9k times with close to a thousand comments of people gushing over how well-behaved the dog is.You can watch the cute little video here:

Posted by Alex Sim on Thursday, 10 October 2019

Last month, a lost doggo's heartwarming story went viral after he was reunited with his owner who had lost him four years ago:

COVID-19 Vaccine Scam In Uganda Results In About 800 People Being Injected With Water

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

At least 800 people in Uganda received fake COVID-19 vaccines in a major scam that targeted employers who rushed to immunise workers amid a spike in infections

According to ABC News, State House Health Monitoring Unit director Dr Warren Naamara said that several medical officials turned out to be fraudsters administering largely water to employees of companies that paid fees to have their workers vaccinated.The counterfeit jabs were administered over May and June when Uganda saw a surge in COVID-19 cases, recording about 1,700 new infections per day.

Image via Xinhua/Global Times

Two medical workers allegedly involved in the scam have been arrested and police are on the hunt for another doctor

"This was a clear scam, this fellow was looking for money, just a common criminal... we suspect he was injecting people with water because it's colourless, odourless, and not dangerous," Naamara told Reuters."He is still on the run but we're hunting for him. We have arrested two nurses whom he was employing."The scammers charged recipients between UGX100,000 and UGX200,000 (around RM118.96 to RM237.92) for a fake shot.

Authorities raided the premises used by the suspects and documents showed that at least 812 people had been vaccinated.
However, Naamara believes that the number of victims could be more.

Reuters reported that at the scene, investigators found vials with tampered seals, bogus vaccine labelling, and false shipping information.Since the beginning of the pandemic, the East African country has recorded over 91,355 COVID-19 cases and 2,483 deaths.


"It's Not Fair" — Large Pay Gap For Similar Malaysian & Singaporean Job Roles Spark Debate

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

A Singaporean media outlet, known as 新加坡华人网, recently shared a photo on Facebook of job vacancies for the exact same roles in Malaysia and Singapore

The advertisement in place was for a popular fast food franchise, where the roles sought out were identical for both outlets, including managerial roles, full-time workers, and part-time employees. The shocking part that grabbed the attention of many, however, was the disparaging difference in salary provision:

Image via 新加坡华人网 (Facebook)

Breaking down the significant distinction between the franchises of the same restaurant in each nation, the pay is as follows:1. Malaysian eatery.- RM2,200 per month for assistant restaurant manager role. - RM1,500 per month for full-time crew member role.- RM7.21 per hour for part-time crew member role (with some staff benefits).2. Singapore eatery.- Up to SGD3,800 per month for the manager role.- Up to SGD15 per hour for part-time manager role.- Up to SGD2,200 per month for full-time crew member role.- Up to SGD11 per hour for part-time crew member role.

Captivating a wide range of responses, many people took to the comment section to express their opinions on the impeccable contrast in salaries

One user stated that it wasn't fair to compare both job opportunities due to the visible dissimilarities between the offers that were made.In translation, "One shows the base amount the company is offering, while another shows the maximum amount the company is willing to offer. How is this a fair comparison?"Another comment seemed to back this up, stating that the pressure and expectations are different, subconsciously signalling towards the reason for one wage being higher than the other.

Image via 新加坡华人网 (Facebook)

Other comments were more light-hearted, with one person writing how they'd prefer to work in Singapore as opposed to Malaysia. Another person noted that the cost of living is totally different — which while may hold some water, still doesn't balance the scales of fairness entirely.

Image via 新加坡华人网 (Facebook)

One of the most surprising comments, however, was from a user who claimed that working in Singapore is intrinsically more difficult than Malaysia

The commentator stated that when working in Malaysia, there would be "no need to rent accommodation," while working in Singapore would require room rentals, work permits, and paying income tax.

Image via 新加坡华人网 (Facebook)

As anticipated, this comment did not go over well, with a few people clapping back with valid arguments against his claims, including the difference in currency between Singapore and Malaysia, individuals who live far away from their jobs while working in Malaysia, and the payment of income tax in Malaysia.

While debating about pay gaps that generally exist between the same jobs locally and internationally, can one argue that this is a step too far?

80-Year-Old Grandpa With No Smartphone Made Himself A Stamp To Check In Everywhere He Goes

An elderly uncle in Kluang, Johor found the most convenient way to register at any location without the need of a smartphone

With standard operating procedures (SOP) still in place under the Movement Control Order (MCO), everyone has to register themselves before entering a premise.It is easy for people with smartphones to use MySejahtera, while those with no smartphones will have to handwrite their information in logbooks provided.However, according to China Press Johor, 80-year-old Gan Hwee Loon, hailing form Kampung Sungai Sayong, found a quick and convenient way around both of that.He has simply been checking in to places with a stamp that has his name and phone number on it.

Image via China Press Johor

Gan told the Chinese daily that he made a stamp mostly because of his poor eyesight

He said that firstly he owns a simple handphone so he is not able to scan the codes to check in.Furthermore, his aging eyes made it very difficult for him to write every time he visits a place. And he did not want to bother people for help every time he went out.

So, he spent the best RM20 ever and ordered a stamp

"I bring it around with me all the time now, doesn't matter if it is to go eat, drink tea, or even shopping. I just need to press the chop gently on the logbook and carefully close it again," he said. "It is very convenient and time-saving."

Alternatively, help check in your grandparents or children by adding dependents on your MySejahtera app:

The Ministry of Health has rolled out the feature to speed up the check-in process.

Ex-CJ Who Alleged Tun M Was In Hurry To Be Sworn-In Now Says He "Made A Mistake Of Facts"

Earlier this week, former chief justice Abdul Hamid Mohamad alleged in a blog post that Tun Dr Mahathir was in hurry to be sworn-in and had gone to the palace uninvited on the night of 9 May to wake up the Agong to swear him in as the 7th prime minister

Ex-CJ Abdul Hamid said the reason Tun Dr Mahathir was in a hurry because he feared that he could lose the majority due to defections amongst the newly-elected MPs."To me, it is embarrassing for a future prime minister to go uninvited at night, perhaps waking up the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong if he was asleep to swear him in as prime minister. Secondly, the Agong should not be seen to be working under duress."His Majesty has the prerogative to satisfy himself who has the majority support amongst the newly-elected MPs," he wrote on his personal blog on Wednesday. The blog post was later reposted by Umno Online on Friday, according to Malaysiakini.

Image via Malaysiakini

Former CJ Abdul Hamid's claims were, however, refuted by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), which called them "baseless"

"The PMO would like to clarify that Hamid's claim is baseless and there was no attempt by Mahathir to go to the Istana that night (9 May, the day of GE14)."He went to Istana only in the late afternoon the next day (10 May) for the oath-taking ceremony," the PMO said in a statement released on Friday, 11 January.

Following the PMO statement, Abdul Hamid, who served as the 5th Chief Justice of Malaysia, has now apologised to Tun Dr Mahathir

The former chief justice said that in writing that blog post on Wednesday he "made a mistake of facts, and comments arising from the mistake of facts"."I acknowledge that it was due to my own negligence and I offer no excuses for the mistake. I am fully responsible for it."I humbly and regretfully apologise to Mahathir for the mistake and any negative perception of him caused by the mistake and comments."I also extend my humble apologies to His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong if there is any mistake of facts involving him in the article although, to date, no one has pointed it out," Abdul Hamid wrote in a new blog post yesterday, 12 January.

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

The Malaysia ringgit has depreciated against the Singapore dollar to RM3.3044 at yesterday's close, 15 February

According to China Press, the Singapore dollar strengthened after the announcement of the country's 2023 Budget, as it was said to be well-received by many quarters.Senior economic analyst and Socio-Economic Research Centre (SERC) executive director, Lee Heng Guie, told the daily that the Budget has comprehensive policies and a strong focus on sustainability."The latest Budget reflects Singapore's competitiveness and forward-lookingness, such as the plan to implement a global minimum tax rate of 15% for multinational companies (MNCs) in 2025, indicating that their policies want to keep pace with the times," said Lee.

The weakening of the ringgit against the Singapore dollar is currently at its lowest since 23 November last year when SGD1 was RM3.3119

In late April 2021, news of the ringgit exchange rate dipping to RM3.1665 against the Singapore dollar, a record-setting low at the time, made headlines in both countries.Singaporean money changers reportedly ran out of notes for their customers during the period.From then until now, the Singapore dollar has appreciated about 4.1% against the ringgit.For context, SGD1 hovered below the RM3 mark for the most part of 2018. Between 2019 and 2020, SGD1 was floating above RM3.From 1 January 2022 until today, 16 February, the Singapore dollar has strengthened more than 6.5% against the ringgit.

[VIDEO] Woman's Slippers Went Flying Over A Parking Lot Dispute

How do you react when a parking spot you've been waiting for gets "stolen" from right under your nose?
For Facebook user Lim H. En, confronting the driver who did so led to being verbally assaulted as well as sustaining damages to her car.

Image via Facebook

In a Facebook post published yesterday, 31 May, Lim shared some photos and a video of a woman shouting and showing obscene gestures, allegedly over a parking spot dispute. The incident is said to have happened in Pulau Langkawi on Tuesday, 30 May. Lim's post has been shared over 28,000 times at the time of writing, with the photos and video also circulated on various community pages and online portals.

According to Lim's, she had been waiting for a parking space when another car came from behind and parked in the very same spot. When confronted, those who were in the car started shouting at her and attacking her car.

Image via Facebook

Besides shouting and throwing up rude gestures, one of the women also threw both her slippers at Lim's car."I don't understand why they attacked us. They damaged my car and made rude gestures. We already decided to give up on this, we did not expect them to turn around and react so violently," she wrote, adding that she did turn on her indicator while waiting for the spot. "We did not drive away from the scene immediately because there were a lot of cars and motorcycles as well as families with their children on the road. I was worried of causing accidents if we just speed away."

"This has nothing to do with skin colour. This is about the individuals' attitude."

Image via Facebook

Lim also clarified that the video only showed part of the incident as she only started filming after one of the car's passengers kicked the side of her car. She'd also hoped that the video will serve as evidence for claims and when making a police report.

Lim stated that while she has made a police report over the matter, she was told that there is nothing the authorities can do about it as it is just a "small matter"

Image via Facebook

Lim said that she has been trying to meet with the police sergeant in the past two days, to no avail. "When one of the officers saw my police report, they said, 'Oh, this is a small case', and that it was not necessary to meet with the sergeant or take any action. When I said that my car is damaged, they told me to get a lawyer before sending me on my way," she wrote. "Now my car is dented, and I have evidence, but there is no way for me to arrange for a meeting with the other party. My case is left unsolved just like that."

Zahid Hamidi Says BN Can "Woo Chinese Voters" Without MCA

After MCA revealed that the party passed a resolution for the dissolution of Barisan Nasional (BN) in favour of forming a new coalition yesterday, 2 December, BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi appeared optimistic and unfazed

Image via Utusan Online

"We have not received their official position on the matter. But if they do exit, we have other ways to woo Chinese voters," he told reporters after meeting with BN senators, Free Malaysia Today reported."Not all of them are supporting the party that is part of the current government," the UMNO president said, adding that, "There are many (parties) that are ready to work with us."

According to MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong, the decision was made at their first AGM as an Opposition party, after taking into account of the country's political state post-GE14

Image via The Coverage

"As BN ruled for almost six decades, the coalition was met with unprecedented losses in recent times and for the sake of rebuilding, BN needs to be dissolved," he told reporters at a press conference, Malay Mail reported."The tabling and approval of the resolution is the first step taken by the party to regain support for a political comeback," Wee added.The MCA president also revealed that the decision to push for BN's dissolution was an "overwhelming consensus", with all but one delegate raising their hands in agreement.

Wee said that no one is "pointing fingers" for blame, and as one of the founding members of BN, MCA "appreciates the sharing of power between different ethnic groups" since Independence Day

Image via Daengselili

He said that the dissolution would be discussed among the three BN component parties, and declined to elaborate on the possibility of BN's supreme council rejecting the resolution to dissolve, Malay Mail reported.

In October, the BN chairman was arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC):

                Ahmad Zahid Hamidi Has Been Arrested And May Be Slapped With Graft Charges Tomorrow

He is expected to be charged tomorrow.

Netizens Furious At Couple Forcing Their Poodle To Walk On Its Hind Legs In Viral Video

In a recent video that has gone viral, a couple was seen forcing their pet poodle to walk on its hind legs at a shopping mall in Subang Jaya late last week

Image via Facebook

A man, believed to be its owner, was seemingly captured "kicking" and forcing the dog to stand on two legs as it walked towards a H&M outlet in Sunway Pyramid.The dog, whose fur appeared to have been dyed red, was dressed in costume, and accompanied by a woman into the store.

The two-minute clip showed the animal entering the store, walking in between sales racks, and "entertaining" its audience with its unnatural stance

Image via Facebook

The video, which garnered over 2,600 shares since its posting on Saturday, was posted by Deepan Kumar with this caption: "The dog had been walking up and down the walkway for so long, it kept falling back to its four feet out of painful fatigue but EVERY TIME the dog kept falling back, this repulsive excuse of a woman kept shouting and caning the dog to continue standing on two feet to amuse people."

Netizens were infuriated by the video...

... while others said that the couple should have been reported to the police or animal welfare associations for abusing the dog

Some netizens also said that the dog was previously paraded at other locations as well

You can see a short clip of the video below:

According to most veterinarians, the posture of a dog can be severely damaged if it continues to walk on its' hind legs

Putting dogs in such unnatural positions may "wear and tear their joints", said Dr. Patricia Alderson. "This can lead to muscle and joint disease."If you see any form of animal abuse, be sure to gather enough evidence to help the case such as, videos, pictures, and witnesses. To report, you can email the Department of Veterinary Services here: [email protected]Or you may also contact SPCA at their emergency number 03-4265 5312.

Meanwhile, a kangaroo was pelted with stones to death by visitors at a zoo:

Student Claims He Got Straight A's Writing Essays Using AI, So We Tried It Out Ourselves

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

Have you ever thought to yourself, how nice it would be if our homework and essays would just write themselves?

Well, one student from Norway may have just made this dream a reality. Introducing himself to SAYS as Kevin, he recently made a post on Reddit which went viral on Twitter.

Kids are using AI to write essays and get straight As pic.twitter.com/i0yyXiVEtU— Peter Yang (@petergyang) September 24, 2022

Kevin revealed that he has been using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered tool to write essays and answer questions about movies and books for school projects

Image via u/urdadgirl69 a.k.a. Kevin (Reddit)

From the posting on the r/OpenAI subreddit page, he also said that he's made a profit by utilising this action as a service."For a couple of weeks, I have made $100 profit by "doing" homework for other classmates and now I am looked at as a genius."

In the post, he asked other redditors about their thoughts on this

There were some who were skeptical, but questioned the credibility of school and education systems if they're not able to assess whether something was written by AI.

Image via Reddit (the1ine)

Others were strongly against the idea, saying that it's not advisable to use GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) which is essentially an AI-powered tool that uses deep learning to produce human-like text.One redditor went on to say that we shouldn't let AI think for us, but thought that it was okay to use it to gather talking points, as long as the user verified the evidence themselves.

Image via Reddit (InvisibleDeck)

Speaking to SAYS, Kevin said that he tried using the tool with non-writing subjects such as Chemistry, but it didn't work quite as well

"I tried using it, but it didn't work well as all the results came out wrong. I didn't even bother with Math because the tool is solely made for generating text," Kevin told SAYS.

Intrigued by Kevin's initial claim in his post, we decided to give AI writing a go too

So we opened up this website called copy.ai, which is an AI-powered content generator that provides writing solutions for a vast array of content spanning blog posts, social media copy, ad copy, website copy, and more! It is also powered by the same GPT-3 tech that Kevin used for his essays.

After signing up, we got a seven-day free trial of the Pro version of the tool, so we tried out a few features

There were a number of functions that the website provided, but we decided on the 'Blog Title' option first.

Image via copy.ai

Because who doesn't love nasi lemak right? :P After writing down a baseline topic, we pressed on the 'Create Content' button to see how it'll work its magic.

Image via copy.ai

It then generated more than a few topics based on our initial idea, giving it some spin and rewording it around!

Afterwards, we tried the 'freestyle' feature which generated content based on the points that we gave the tool

Image via copy.ai

Essentially, they'll ask a few things so they can better understand what you're trying to create. We put in that we were trying to create a blog post, and a few points we would like to see manifest in that blog post. You can even choose how you want the content to sound by picking a tone ranging from friendly to professional.

Image via copy.ai

After this, the content will be generated from the points that you keyed in. From the excerpt it created above, it can be seen that the AI did a pretty decent job introducing the topic.It describes what nasi lemak is, a brief part of its history, its ingredients, and even ways you can eat nasi lemak!And guess what... it passed the plagiarism check :P

So, what do you guys think? Are you gonna start using AI-powered tools for your assignments? ;P


There Might Be A New Penalty Soon For Losing Your Malaysian Passport

There is currently no penalty against Malaysians who lose their passports, but things may change very soon

Image via Free Malaysia Today

The Immigration Department is suggesting a penalty against Malaysians who lose their passports due to negligence.  Its director-general Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali said that the government is considering the idea of imposing fines on owners who lose their passports, just as a fine is imposed on for applications for replacement of lost MyKad.

The suggested penalty is between RM200 and RM1,000

"The regulation needs to be changed and the suggestion for losing it the first time is to impose a RM200 fine, the second time a RM500 fine, and for third time onwards a RM1,000 fine." "This is not an intention to punish but to make people be more responsible for their own passport," Mustafar told Bernama recently.According to Mustafar, the matter was brought up by the Immigration Department to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the Home Minister, last January. It is said that Zahid has "agreed on it essentially".

Quite a number of Malaysians have been losing their passports carelessly in the last six months

Image via Rina Stories

It was reported that there have been 31,287 cases of missing passports between 1 January 2017 and 2 June 2017.  A total of 22,475 passport owners who lodged a report for their missing passport said that they "do not remember where they kept their passport" while 2,858 said that they lost their passports while shifting houses.  Some of the other reasons that were cited in the missing passport reports include, "left in a public transport", "slipped out of a bag or pocket", "stolen or robbed", "lost in a fire or shifting house", or "lost due to natural disasters". Based on the latest statistics from the Immigration Department, Johor recorded the highest number of cases with 5,734 missing passports, followed by Kuala Lumpur with 4,399 cases, and Selangor with 3,409 cases.

Mustafar has urged fellow Malaysians to be more responsible and safeguard their respective passports

Image via Malay Mail Online

Although a passport is a valuable document that requires owners to safeguard it properly, Mustafar noted that negligence is still one of the most common factors that cause Malaysians to lose their passports."(Passport) loss due to theft is still acceptable but if it's happening too frequently, then it is not good," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.He said that the rakyat should not simply place the important document everywhere and file a new application by saying that it has gone missing.He explained that a passport that was reported as missing would be deactivated and invalidated even if it was rediscovered to avoid it from being misused.

Do you think it's a good idea to impose a penalty if a passport was lost due to negligence? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

This Malaysian Man's Name Is - Wait For It - Helpmelah

Meet Md Helpmelah Bin Jaafar, a Port Dickson resident with a one-in-a-million name

Image via Sinar Harian

When Helpmelah was born, his Sarawakian father decided to give him the name for reasons even the 43-year-old could not explain, Sinar Harian reported."I do not know why but he told me it was done intentionally," he said.

Helpmelah was aware that others found his name humorous ever since he was a child. In school, he was always the teachers' first choice when they needed a helping hand around the classroom.

Image via Minn Post

Whether it was wiping the blackboard or carrying books, he said, "It's funny, that's what I remember until now."

Despite the uniqueness of his given name, Helpmelah's friends and family call him by another interesting moniker

Pantai Teluk Kemang

"People here know me as Boy Pasar because I live behind the Teluk Kemang market," he explained."Now if you say you're looking for Helpmelah, no one will knowwho that is."

As fate would have it, Helpmelah's 33-year-old wife can also relate to the struggles of having a peculiar name, thanks to a mistake that her parents never rectified

Image via Sinar Harian

Norolhudainseroh, nicknamed Noni, spent much of her life hearing her name mispronounced and seeing it misspelt, but she explained that this was not her parents' intention.Her name was supposed to be spelt Nurul Huda Insyirah. However, "The registration officer who prepared my documents was Indian and when my father said the name, he just wrote it like he heard it," she said."My mother only realised the mistake when they got home and there was nothing they could do, so they decided to leave it."

In the early stages of their relationship, Norolhudainseroh only knew her now-husband by his nickname. She happened upon his real name by chance.

"When I first got to know him, I knew him as Boy. One day, I saw his IC and found out his unique name. I laughed to myself," she explained."People have difficulty pronouncing my name, and I ended up with a soulmate who also has a unique name".

The couple decided to opt for ordinary names when it came to their own three children

"I gave my children names that people always hear. Unique names are good too, but it’s better when it’s easier," Helpmelah told Sinar Harian.
