M'sian Asks To Use Her Friend's Brother's Death Certificate To Avoid Going Back To Campus

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

A Malaysian was furious when a family friend insensitively requested to use the death certificate of his brother to avoid returning to campus

Twitter user @asyraffmfauzi shared a screenshot of a conversation in which the person expressed condolences to the family for the loss of their brother, but followed up with the insensitive question just a day later.He wrote on his Twitter post, "If you really are facing an emergency, why would you ask to use someone else's death certificate? Do you have no respect for the dead? Do you think this is like going to a clinic and asking for a medical certificate?"He added that his family was still waiting for the hospital to provide their late brother's swab test results to be sent to the forensics department when they received the message.

His post went viral and netizens were outraged by the woman's request

Two Twitter users wrote that his family should cut ties with the woman.

Image via Twitter

Another user wrote, "It is understandable if the person requesting the death certificate is a relative as they could help with the funeral process, but it is rude for her to request it since she is not related to the family. This shows that she has no common sense."

Image via Twitter

"When she dies, we should all photocopy her death certificate and pass it around so we can all get a holiday," said another, sarcastically.

Image via Twitter

The woman later apologised to the family, and @asyraffmfauzi stated that they have forgiven her

He clarified that the misunderstanding happened because his family was in mourning at the time she asked the question, and the way she asked the question was also inappropriate."I'm not posting this to shame anyone, but rather to raise awareness. Before asking questions like this, you should ask how someone is doing. If you ask someone a question in the wrong way, you risk hurting their feelings, especially if the question is about death," he said."Do not normalise this behaviour," he added.


Woman Runs Away From Private Hospital After Learning Insurance Didn't Cover Her Illness

A 32-year-old woman ran away from a private hospital in Kedah after learning that her illness was not covered under her insurance

According to Kuala Muda district police chief ACP Zaidy Che Hassan, the woman was admitted to the hospital at 6.40pm last night, 24 October, and was nowhere to be found four hours later at 10.40pm.Harian Metro quoted him as saying that the woman ran away without making any payment after the private hospital informed her at 9.30pm that her insurance didn't cover the cost of her treatment.When informed, she refused to continue the treatment and wanted to leave the ward, at which point, the nurse told the doctor on duty before carrying out the discharge process."The patient was also asked to pay the fee and take medicine at the pharmacy," Zaidy said.

The hospital has since lodged a police report against the woman

Initially, the hospital staff attempted to contact the woman through her phone number.After the police report was lodged, attempts by the police to reach her have also failed."The police also contacted the patient, but there was no answer. They tried to find her at home, however, the woman was nowhere to be found and the door was locked," Zaidy said.

The woman had gone to the hospital as she had a stomach ache

At the time of being warded,  she said that she had insurance."The examination found that the patient had gastritis, but her insurance did not cover the woman's illness, so she was discharged from the ward," Zaidy said, adding that the police are still conducting further investigations and are tracking the patient.

Video Of Drunk Elderly Man Demanding Sex From A Young Man On The MRT Goes Viral

A man was subjected to sexual assault when he was commuting on the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) in Singapore recently

Image via Joe DeMarini

In a somewhat bizarre video that has gone viral, an elderly man, believed to be a Singaporean, was seen demanding for sex from another male passenger on the train. The video was first uploaded by Facebook Joe DeMarini yesterday, 20 April, who shared about his harrowing experience. "Just a heads up, this guy physically assaulted me on the MRT, so if you ever see him, be on your guard. I was with a friend and he approached me — drunk — and said he was gay, and that he wanted to f##k me. He said, 'I know you're gay, so let's f##k'," DeMarini wrote on the post.

In the video, the elderly man kept propositioning for sex and accused DeMarini of being a gay

"You're a f##cking gay. I’m a gay also," he exclaimed in public. In response,  DeMarini said that he's not a gay. However, the man continued to harass DeMarini and claimed that DeMarini had made a "signal" to him.   DeMarini, who hails from Pennsylvania, USA, also stressed this in his post on Facebook. "I'm not gay (not that it should matter). However, I don't exactly fit the "masculine" mould of society, so oftentimes I am mistaken as queer--on several occasions around the world, for example, I've caught flak for carrying a 'man purse'," he explained. However, it didn't matter as the man kept provoking DeMarini. "I want you to f##k me tonight," the man told DeMarini repeatedly.

The man was persistent in harassing DeMarini. Things escalated when he assaulted DeMarini in front of everyone else.

Image via Joe DeMarini

Below is the transcript of what transpired before the man slapped DeMarini on the side of his head:Elderly man: Can I kiss you? I want to kiss you now.DeMarini's friend: Are you mentally even stable?DeMarini: No, if you kiss me, I’ll punch your f##cking face off.Elderly man: You see, see, he use vulgar word.DeMarini's friend (to DeMarini): Shhh.DeMarini: Sorry, I know, I know.Elderly man: Use one more vulgar, I’m going to slap you. After saying this, the man got upset and immediately slapped DeMarini before anyone could stop him.

In the midst of that encounter, two strangers intervened and stood up for DeMarini

Image via Joe DeMarini

One of the bystanders, believed to be a Caucasian woman, approached the man and tried to calm him down.  Although it appears that her efforts were futile, she did stop the man from making any further attacks on DeMarini. Another bystander stepped in and came to the young man's aid just moments later. The bystander stood in between them while the elderly man kept going on and on and blamed DeMarini for "signalling' him. According to DeMarini, he managed to get off the MRT safely with his friend eventually."When my friend and I got off at our stop, he got off as well, but we managed to evade him and leave the station without him following us." "I wish I'd said thank you to the train people who took a stand and put themselves between me and this man, but I was too rattled to muster it (at least I could thank my friend, who had the good sense to make a video)," he wrote.

Needless to say, the whole incident was a traumatic experience for DeMarini

"I wish I'd sat in a different train car, and the whole situation could've been avoided. Was it the V-neck I was wearing? My ripped skinny jeans? I probably should have held my temper, but that's not my character.""Could I have found a way to peacefully diffuse the whole situation? It's obviously not my fault but, somehow, a part of me is convinced it was," he said.There are those who asked DeMarini why he did not fight back or call the police. Responding to this question, DeMarini said, "I say, 'I am a white immigrant in a country where I do not have citizenship and am a minority — law enforcement may not take my side, despite video and photo evidence'.""A slap on the head is nothing, really, but I feel completely unsettled — Singapore has been a trial by fire since my first day, and this doesn't help. In all honesty, I'm a bit tipsy and have no idea what I'm feeling."

The video that was uploaded by DeMarini has received more than 800,000 views and 15,000 shares. Watch it here:

NOTE: The video recording contains explicit content that may not be suitable for all audience.

Hey Singapore friends: just a heads up, this guy physically assaulted me on the MRT, so if you ever see him, be on your guard. I was with a friend and he approached me--drunk--and said he was gay, and that he wanted to fuck me. He said, "I know you're gay, so let's fuck."This went on for several minutes and I tried to politely diffuse the situation, but then he began to yell at my friend when she intervened; I wouldn't let this stand, and started to become angry myself. He threatened her, and some other people on the train intervened (several were filming). He touched me, and I told him not to, and I briefly lost my temper--after that he slapped me on the side of the head. He kept going on and on, and when a woman tried to take his picture, he attempted to kick her phone out of her hand. When my friend and I got off at our stop, he got off as well, but we managed to evade him and leave the station without him following us.For those of you that don't know: I'm not gay (not that it should matter). However, I don't exactly fit the "masculine" mold of society, so oftentimes I am mistaken as queer--on several occasions around the world, for example, I've caught flak for carrying a "man purse." On a personal level, this is why I need feminism: so I can be confident in myself and not feel like I have to fulfill any gender role assigned to me. However, I do appreciate that women probably have to deal with this shit (or at least the threat of it) on a fairly regular basis.For those asking "Why didn't you fight back or call the police?" I say, "I am a white immigrant in a country where I do not have citizenship and am a minority--law enforcement may not take my side, despite video and photo evidence." This is something I learned while living in South Korea, where no amount of assimilation will protect you when a Korean is arguing against you. In this situation, there's a chance I would've been accused of inciting violence, and been charged accordingly.I feel pretty awful about this--it's after 2:30 in the morning and I can't sleep; I can't even bring myself to watch the video. Is that normal? In a sick sense, I feel lucky to have this recorded: it's proof! And others have recorded it as well! Some people would die for that kind of evidence!Yet here I am, too embarrassed and too ashamed to watch it.A slap on the head is nothing, really, but I feel completely unsettled--Singapore has been a trial by fire since my first day, and this doesn't help. In all honesty, I'm a bit tipsy and have no idea what I'm feeling.I wish I'd said thank you to the train people who took a stand and put themselves between me and this man, but I was too rattled to muster it (at least I could thank my friend, who had the good sense to make a video). I wish I'd sat in a different train car, and the whole situation could've been avoided. Was it the V-neck I was wearing? My ripped skinny jeans? I probably should have held my temper, but that's not my character. Could I have found a way to peacefully diffuse the whole situation? It's obviously not my fault but, somehow, a part of me is convinced it was.Anyway, I have work in the morning, so the only thing to do is press on (or at least try to get some sleep). I've accomplished more in a few years than I could've ever imagined, and I've met so many amazing and supportive people along the way--I can't really let the few bastards of the world stop me, can I?Posted by Joe DeMarini on Wednesday, April 19, 2017


Dengan Bajet Serendah RM200, Wanita Ini Kongsi Itinerari 'Food Hunting' Ke Hatyai

Bila cakap pasal travel, mesti semua berfikiran kena shopping, tangkap gambar banyak-banyak dan sebagainya. Tapi sebenarnya anda boleh lakukan aktiviti yang berbeza.
Pernah tak terfikir untuk food hunting ketika bercuti?

Contohnya, anda memilih lokasi untuk bercuti di tempat yang boleh dikatakan 'syurga makanan'. Hanya kerana anda adalah seorang pemakan yang tegar dan memang suka explore semua jenis makanan di negara orang, bila travel pun langsung tak terfikir untuk buat perkara lain selain dari makan.Seperti perkongsian oleh seorang wanita yang dikenali sebagai Norizila di laman Facebook tentang itinerari perjalanannya ke Hatyai untuk 'food hunting' dengan bajet serendah RM200 sahaja. Biar betul?!Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Menurutnya, ini adalah kali kedua dia menjejakkan kaki di Hatyai. Pertama kali menaiki kereta, kali ini menaiki tren pula.

Ini merupakan itinerari pendek selama 2 hari 1 malam beliau di sana:

Naik train ke Padang Besar pada jam 6.48 am.

Train dari Hatyai ke Padang Besar ada dua trip juga, pukul 7.30am & 1pm (waktu thailand).  Alternatif lain ke Hatyai selain dari train dari Padang Besar, dengan menaiki mini van.

Seafood di sana pun dijual dengan harga yang berpatutan, tidak terlalu mahal. Tapi sayanglah jika anda seorang yang alergik seafood.

Jangan lupa singgah ke Khlong Hae Floating Market kalau nak food hunting dengan pilihan makanan lebih banyak

Kalau nak shopping, boleh singgah Asean Night Bazaar ni. Pastikan anda bawa duit lebih. Kalau datang masa tengah bulan atau belum gaji, menangis tak dapat shopping!

Scoot claims there’s still no job portal in Malaysia that sorts results based on your location, with those nearest displayed first.“With most big job portals, you either type in your post code or locality. For example, if you’re staying in Kuala Lumpur, it will show you all the jobs [there], but it doesn’t exactly sort jobs according to how far away they are from you,” said Joshua.

User-friendly and easy to navigate, job seekers can search for jobs based on category, type and location

A Complete List Of Things You Need To Know If You're Going To Bersih 4.0

So, you're planning on joining the Bersih 4 rally this weekend. First-timers, if you're at a loss as to how you can adequately prepare for the potentially intense experience, we've got you covered.

Image via durairg's Bucket

The following pointers could serve as a refresher checklist for veteran participants too, as this is the first time the Bersih rally is expected to last for 2 days (29 and 30 August).

PRE-RALLY:

1. First, let's talk about what you should wear to the rally. The key is to be comfortable, so make sure you are clad in clothing that allows for easy movement in any situation such as:

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

To be safe, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to protect most of your skin from tear gas chemicals. To really get into the spirit of Bersih, opt for yellow-coloured T-shirts or the official Bersih 4 T-shirt if you can get your hands on them. Last we heard, they're almost sold out!

2. Stay away from flowy clothing, dresses, skirts, or sarongs as well as slippers and high heels, as they may hinder your movement and prevent you from running in case of confrontational situations

Image via Universal Pictures

3. Avoid wearing contact lenses. Opt for glasses instead.

Image via BBC

Based on what happened in the previous Bersih rallies, it is highly likely that tear gas will be deployed to force participants to disperse. These chemicals may react to contaminate contact lenses and result in severe eye infections.

        vulcanpost.com

4. If you're planning to stay overnight, make sure you bring your sleeping bags or foldable chairs. However, note that the DBKL has outlawed tents from being pitched in the streets of KL during the rally.

Image via Jaka Vinsek

5. Pack these 10 essential items in a bag, preferably a waist pouch or a backpack so that you have less loose items to worry about. Handbags and purses can easily be lost if things get a little chaotic.

(a) Identity card, MyKad, or driving license for official identification if you happen to stopped by the police.  (b) Enough cash to last you for 2 days, about RM100 to RM200 should suffice. Stuff them in your front pockets and seal with a safety pin or keep them in a waist pouch for safekeeping. Wallets as well as ATM and debit/credit cards should be left at home as they can get easily lost, especially to pickpocketers.

Image via Saw Siow Feng / The Malay Mail Online

(c) Fully-charged (smart)phone and powerbank, for emergency purposes as well as to post current developments on social media.(d) At least one bottle of mineral water or isotonic drink to keep you hydrated and some light snacks for when you get peckish.

Image via femlife.de

(e) Personal medical necessities such as inhalers, diabetic pills, insulin jabs, Panadol etc. Seeking medical attention is going to be quite difficult in a crowd of thousands, so bring some extra to share with others.   (f) Tight-fitting swim goggles and a mask (respirator or surgical) as protection against chemicals in the tear gas. If you do not own a pair of such goggles, attach some cling wrap to your glasses, sunglasses or any type of safety eyewear, as pictured below:

Image via AFP / Getty Images

(g) Small packets of salt, preferably the granulated ones, to neutralise the effects of tear gas when taken orally.  (h) Wet wipes and/or a damp cloth or towel soaked in salt water, saline solution, lemon juice, or cider vinegar stored in a plastic bag to wipe your skin and breathe through if you are exposed to any chemicals or tear gas.(i) Umbrellas, ponchos, raincoats, and/or caps to protect you from the sun and rain as well as tear gas, pepper spray, and water cannons.(j) Pre-mixed solution of Gaviscon / Antacid with water in spray bottle to clear your head after being hit by tear gas.

OPTIONAL:

(a) Camera or video camera, kept in a plastic bag to minimise water damage.(b) An extra T-shirt packed in a plastic bag to change into after the rally.(c) Bersih-themed placards or banners.(d) Malaysian flags of any size.

6. If you considered bringing any of these items along with you, you might want to leave them at home:

Image via AM Technology

(a) Student card, work pass or ID, debit/credit cards, and miscellaneous membership cards to avoid revealing too much about yourself if you are stopped by the authorities. (b) Politically-associated placards and banners, especially those with identifiable logos. Provocative messages may invoke conflict and chaos.

Image via KE Ooi / The Malay Mail Online

(c) Sharp or dangerous items such as pocket knives, scissors, pointy objects etc. Having these in your possession makes it easier for the authorities to justify your potential arrest.(d) For obvious reasons, don't bring fireworks, firecrackers, flares, flammable materials to the rally. (e) Cigarettes. It's already going to be pretty-packed at the rally; non-smokers would rather not choke on secondhand smoke too.

7. Make sure your phone is fully charged the night before. For good measure, download the FireChat app to enable communication in case of limited coverage (i.e. jammed signals and no mobile data or wi-fi) during the rally.

Image via Android Central

More on how FireChat enables off-the-grid communication here.

ON THE DAY OF THE RALLY:

1. If you're planning on staying overnight in the main KL event, be sure to arrive at the designated meeting points - Brickfields, Pasar Seni, Sogo, Masjid Negara and Menara Maybank - by 2.00pm before moving on to Dataran Merdeka

Image via Chung Hosanna's Facebook

For those who are getting in on the action in other states, take note of your respective meeting points:

2. Do let your family members and friends know that you are attending the rally. Even better, get them to come along with you, as it is strongly advised that participants arrive in groups instead of alone.

Image via CNN

According to Facebook user Josephine Gan, small groups of 3 or 4 people should join up with a bigger group of protesters to guard yourselves against "thugs and bullies" opposing the Bersih rally. To be safe, make sure you have everyone's phone numbers. As it can be quite difficult to keep track of everyone, especially in a big group of people, Gan suggests forming a 'buddy system' so that you have a friend to hold on to when things get chaotic. Hold on to your friend's arm or hand at all times and don't let go!

Image via AP / The Guardian

3. Parents, try not to bring your kids along. Based on what happened in the previous rallies, everyone - young or old - might be hit by tear gas, water cannons, and the possibility of a stampede if things get out of control.

Image via Mohd Rasfan / AFP

Also, according to the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, children below 15 are banned from attending rallies.

        cilisos.my

4. Avoid driving into the city as there will be roadblocks in place in addition to road closures, not to mention to massive crowd of protesters taking to the streets. Take public transportation such as buses, LRT, monorail, or KTM instead, but do have back-up plans just in case.

Can you imagine driving into the city when crowds this massive are expected to converge there? Nope.
Image via Jamie Liew

If you're going to the rally with a group of people, set up your own meeting point BEFORE you proceed to the official meeting points and carpool to the nearest LRT station. Make sure you bring along your Touch 'n' Go and/or Rapid KL card with sufficient balance for your commute!

Alternatively, Cilisos recommends parking somewhere in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur (e.g. Bangsar or Ampang). Then, get a cab to take you as close as possible to where you want to go and walk the rest of the way.You can also opt to book rooms in the city overnight, preferably from the 29th to the 31st, allowing you to control your level of involvement over the weekend.

5. Once you've arrived at the scene of the rally, keep a look out for the Field Commander and remain vigilant of your surroundings as you wait for the rally to start. It's a good time to chat up some of your fellow protestors too!

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

6. Mobile toilets will be made available, but they might not be easily accessible especially if you're in the middle of a crowd. So... conduct your business the best you can (both number 1's and 2's) before joining the rally.

DURING THE RALLY:

1. Things are bound to get a little messy once the rally starts. Don't panic, stay close to your group of people, and most importantly, avoid getting involved with provocations and conflict with anyone at all.

Image via The Straits Times

Always remember that this is a peaceful rally, so do not incite the anger of others with provocative language or actions. Report any suspicious activities to your Field Commander.

2. Unfortunately, there's a high chance you might encounter some raucous individuals, particularly those opposing the rally. The only thing you should be doing is to IGNORE THEM.

Image via Malaysiakini

Do not react to their taunts and threats. Do whatever you can to get as far away from them. If they become aggressive, whether physically or verbally, report to the Field Commander or the police. Better yet, take photos with clear shot of their faces but do be careful when doing so.

3. Sooner or later, you will encounter the police force. Do remember that they are just following orders and doing their jobs, so don't panic and just go about your usual rally business as long as you do not provoke them.

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

4. Now, on to the scariest of them all - tear gas. Run as fast as you can, preferably to a higher ground and against the wind, if a tear gas canister is deployed near you. Things can get a little confusing too, so here are some hints that tear gas is coming:

    1. People running in your direction2. Sounds of explosions3. Smelling something funny in the air, or seeing more haze than you should.

        cilisos.my

Image via Hugo Teng

5. According to previous rally participants' accounts, being tear-gassed will make you feel like you're choking in your own tears, nauseous, and feel like lying down. Don't do that, you'll get trampled. Run like h*** away from the gas to an open space, preferably in higher ground.

Tear gas is heavier than air so the effects are worse when you're on a lower ground. Run to open areas in higher grounds instead! Once you're away from the gas, here's where some of the items you've (hopefully) packed in your backpack will come in handy:

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

Don’t worry too much about a bit of coughing and choking, because that’s actually the body’s best way to get the stuff out of your system. But if it gets too much, look out for these amazing guys from the BERSIH MEDICAL TEAM - made up of hundreds of volunteers on standby to help you.

        cilisos.my

If you are not able to locate them, send an SMS to 011-1237 7118 or 013-203 6911 with your current location and nearby landmarks as well as a rundown of the medical emergency and relevant contact numbers.

6. And if the water cannons come out...

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

7. The police have given their assurance that stun guns will not be used at the Bersih rally, but here are some preventive steps you can take to counter taser attacks in case they do:

Image via Sin Chew Daily

			1. Being fully-clothed will not stop the effects of a taser or a stun gun, as your shirt is probably not going to provide enough resistance against the high voltage... unless your clothes are at least 2 inches thick, like a thick leather jacket*   2. **Wear a raincoat, preferably plastic and/or rubberised (non-conductors of electricity), which is not easily pierced by barbs.   3. If you're in close proximity to a taser, run in every direction you can think of instead of just a single direction. A stun gun has a limited range (about 6m) and a slow discharge speed, so it's not that difficult to outrun a taser especially when you're all over the place; the cops won't know where to aim.   4. If you get hit by a taser, try your best to swipe the darts off your chest to remove the wires. But let's hope things do not come to that.

8. If you feel like taking a time out from the rally, there are several places where you can seek refuge:

Three Catholic churches in KL are opening their doors to rally-goers - Cathedral of St. John in Bukit Nanas, Church of St. Anthony in Jalan Pudu, and Church of Our Lady Fatima in Brickfields. Certain Hindu and Buddhist temples in the city will also welcome those who need sanctuary from the chaos outside.   You can also seek shelter in any nearby building, although some shops may be closed due to the rally.

Tenants of hotels and old buildings have been known to be very understanding during the rallies, so ask nicely, be generally careful, and of course remember that when tear gas hits, it’s better to head UPwards.

        cilisos.my

AFTER THE RALLY:

1. Disperse slowly, quietly, and peacefully. Most importantly, do stay behind to help clean up the site(s) of the rally.

There's bound to be a lot of rubbish leftover from the rally, so let's not leave the clean-up to the poor City Council workers.
Image via Malaysia Chronicle

Thank the Field Commander, and make sure to add your new friends on Facebook before bidding them "see you again!"

2. However, if you get arrested by the police for some reason or other, provide ONLY your name, IC, and address. You have the right to remain silent, except to ask, "Am I under arrest?" Please refer to the below infographic for further action:

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

3. In the event that thing escalated to the point where you are brought to the police station, remember that you have the right to remain silent and to be afforded legal representation

Image via Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia's Facebook

The Bar Council Legal Aid Centre (KL) has set up an "urgent arrest" team to provide legal assistance to those who've been apprehended by the police. They can be contacted at: 1. 018-321 1506 2. 011-1214 0877Send an SMS to one of those numbers with the following information:1. Your name2. The name, IC no., and contact number of the arrested person3. The police station to which they have been taken to, if knownThe team will try to contact the arrested person to arrange legal assistance as quickly as possible to help secure their release.More details on what you should do if you or anyone you know has been arrested by the police here.

4. Note that the police have the right to detain you for 24 hours without formal charges. During that time, be courteous to the cops and don't hesitate to request medical attention if you are injured in any way.

Once you've been released from police custody:

Kedah MB Fined For Flouting The Lockdown To Go For Test Drive In Penang

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

Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi has been fined more than a month after he was seen going for a test drive at a vehicle sales centre in Juru Autocity, Penang in violation of the total lockdown

The offence was committed on 5 June, during which the country was under a total lockdown.Photos and videos of a salesman with Muhammad Sanusi at the centre were uploaded by a woman who would later come under attack from the Menteri Besar's supporters for outing him.At the time, Sanusi had said that he was on his way to Kuala Lumpur and had taken a little detour to Autocity Juru to buy food where he was greeted by an employee of the adjacent shop."I greeted and chatted with him for a while. I think greeting people does not violate standard operating procedures (SOPs)," he said, adding that the employee then explained the type and specifications of the vehicle with him sitting in the front passenger seat and his escort sitting in the rear passenger seat.Following which, the employee took him on a ride in the vehicle nearby the premises."He moved a little. He drove, not me, and he took it to an area where there was plenty of parking. He told me the price of the car was RM200,000, but I said I couldn't afford it," Sanusi added.

According to Penang police chief Datuk Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, they received instruction to issue a compound to Sanusi after he was found to have breached the SOPs. He said that additional information will be given once the order has been sent to the Menteri besar.

Utusan Malaysia reported Mohd Shuhaily saying that an official statement will be issued by the Penang Police Contingent headquarters on the matter after the issuance of the compound.The amount of the fine has not yet been disclosed.Free Malaysia Today reported Federal Crime Investigation Department director CP Datuk Seri Abd Jalil Hassan saying it was as per high profile cases and that Sanusi can either pay or fight it in court."In past VIP cases, such as Neelofa (Noor Neelofa Mohd Nor) and Siti Nurhaliza (Taruddin), we have done it the same way and it's up to them if they want to fight it in court," he explained.Sanusi's case was investigated under Section 269 of the Penal Code and Regulation 17 (1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 2021.Nine people including the woman who recorded the video at the scene and two employees of a car sales company were reported to have had their statements taken by investigators, Malay Mail reported.Under Section 269, the offence is punishable with a jail term of up to six months, or fine, or both.

After the video of Sanusi went viral last month, he appeared upset with the woman for not seeking clarification from him as he would have explained the situation to her to avoid any misunderstandings

"Maybe because I am a controversial Menteri Besar some people think that when they record a leader who allegedly violated the SOPs, that person will become a hero in this country," he said."I'm not saying I'm not wrong or guilty, if there is a violation of the SOPs then I apologise because it happened by chance, I like to greet people and talk. If I get a compound then I will pay."At the time, the Menteri Besar had promised to give the person who recorded the video of him on the day of the incident a new smartphone "to make it easier for the person to record good things".

MOH Approves South Korea's Antigen Rapid Test Kits. Here's What You Should Know About It

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has approved the use of South Korea's antigen rapid test kits (RTK) and expects to receive them next week

"We have placed orders for these antigen rapid test kits," Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said today, 16 April, during his daily press briefing where he shares latest COVID-19 updates."Hopefully, by next week or so, once we get the kits, we can aim to do mass screening."

Image via SAYS

The kit is manufactured by SD Biosensor

According to Dr Noor Hisham, with testing being done point of care, individuals will no longer need to send the swab test samples to the country's 43 labs to get the results."It can actually be done at clinics or hospitals. They just need to be equipped with biosafety cabinets," he said, adding that tests have found the kits to have high sensitivity and specificity.

			The good news is that the SD Biosensor has a sensitivity rate of 84.4% and a specificity rate of 100%.

So far, the ministry has been using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) laboratory tests to confirm the presence of the novel coronavirus

"The existing PCR tests would complement the antigen rapid test kits if there are any doubts over the results. This is what we are trying to embark on," the Health D-G said while taking questions.According to a report in Malaysiakini, the test would not produce a false positive result, but can sometimes produce a negative result although the person tested actually has COVID-19.On the other hand, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests, which are regarded as the 'gold standard' for early diagnosis of COVID-19 virus, also has the same issues.

The test kit is fast, portable, and is cheap. It will make a huge difference in reducing the backlog of tests at the 43 laboratories.

A Reuters report said that a rising number of suspected cases in the country and the need for more testing had put a strain on the laboratories that have been set up to process samples.The ministry stopped published backlog data after over 8,000 results were reported pending.As of 16 April, over 90,000 people have been tested for COVID-19.

There Is A Large Underground Ocean In One Of Saturn's Moons That Hints At Alien Life

New data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft suggests that a lake at least the size of the world's second largest lake lies below a thick layer of ice on one of Saturn’s moon

An artistic illustration of Enceladus's hypothesised inner structure, showing the moon's 'geysers' spouting near its south pole, the thick sheet of ice that covers its surface, the subterranean lake that fuels the 'geysers' and a rocky core that somehow generates its own heat.
Image via dailymail.co.uk

Measurements of gravity fluctuations around Enceladus taken by Nasa’s Cassini spacecraft indicate that there is an underground ocean of melted water at the moon’s south pole which may be the source of dramatic vapour plumes seen at its surface.

        cnn.com

The body of water is about the size of Lake Superior (560 km), the second largest lake on Earth (which is 16 times larger than Malaysia's Tasik Bera), and has a rocky bottom which could create conditions that allow tiny life forms to thrive.

        thestar.com.my

Lake Superior has a volume of 12,000 cu km. The amount of liquid on Enceladus would be somewhat similar
Image via bbcimg.co.uk

In 2005, Cassini sent back astounding images of water vapour jetting from the surface of Enceladus

Jets of water vapour have previously been seen spouting from the southern polar region of Enceladus., leading scientists to predict that there is a deep watery reservoir beneath the moon's icy shell
Image via dailymail.co.uk

The jets were spouting from fractures in the frozen surface of the 300mile (483km) wide moon known as ‘tiger stripes’. Experts predicted that a large reservoir of underground water could be fuelling the plumes.

        newschanneldaily.com

The results support earlier signs that this small moon has liquid water. That means Saturn's sixth-largest moon could have been or could now be hospitable to life.

The Saturn-facing side of Enceladus is illuminated by light bouncing off the planet. Plumes of water ice can be seen streaming off the moon's southern pole.
Image via turner.com

This discovery puts Enceladus in an exclusive club of extraterrestrial worlds in the solar system that appear to have a subsurface water ocean. The others are Titan, another moon of Saturn, and Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Callisto and Ganymede, also moons of Jupiter, may also have oceans under ice.

        independent.co.uk

"As far as whether one should go first to Europa or Enceladus, I look at this as a kind of a cornucopia of habitable environments in the outer solar system," study co-author Jonathan Lunine of Cornell University said in a press conference Wednesday.

        cnn.com

Researchers believe the 560 km-wide moon’s lake is encased beneath a thick crust of crystal ice

“For the first time, we have used a geophysical method to determine the internal structure of Enceladus,” said co-author David Stevenson, professor of planetary science at Caltech. “This then provides one possible story to explain why water is gushing out of these fractures we see at the south pole.”

        thestar.com.my

The Cassini mission is led by NASA, with the cooperation of the Italian Space Agency and European Space Agency. The spacecraft was launched 2004 and has visited all of Saturn’s largest moons. The sixth planet from the Sun, Saturn is characterised by its unusual rings and has 53 known moons and nine provisional moons.

        newschanneldaily.com

So, what do scientists think is there?

Enceladus: North and South (Northern Polar Projection)
Image via nasa.gov

The north pole of Enceladus has a thickness of ice around 30 miles, with solid rock beneath it. But at the south pole, there may be only 18 to 24 miles of ice covering a subsurface ocean that itself is 5 to 10 miles deep. This ocean appears to be a "lens-shaped reservoir" that's deepest at the south pole and thinner further afield. The ocean appears to sit on top of a rocky core and "may extend halfway or more towards the equator in every direction," said study co-author David Stevenson, professor of planetary science at California Institute of Technology, in a press conference.

        cnn.com

Also noteworthy is that the north pole is heavily cratered, while the ice on the south pole is smoother, meaning it has been resurfaced and softened. Measurements from the new study and previous Cassini data suggest the moon's south pole has an ice layer on top of water on top of silicate rock. If that's true, water circulating through the rock would pick up elements such as phosphorous, sulfur, potassium and sodium into the liquid. These elements are essential for making molecules that life needs, Lunine said.

        independent.co.uk

With respect to the ocean being on top of rock, the gravity data from Enceladus "makes the base of the ocean very much like the base of our own ocean on the Earth," Lunine said at the press conference. Enceladus is a small moon, with a diameter of only about 310 miles. In 2005, Cassini found that fractures called "tiger stripes" in the south polar region emit water vapor jets rich in salt, lead author Luciano Iess of Sapienza Università di Roma in Rome, Italy, said in a press conference Wednesday. Cassini has also detected organic molecules, which can come from biological or nonbiological sources, near the tiger stripes and in dust grains in the region.

        cnn.com

When no one has actually gone to Enceladus and seen this ocean under the thick ice, how then do scientists know what is there?

The scars of time and space mark the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Saturn has at least 62 moons in its orbit.
Image via turner.com

Because scientists have strong evidence that it is there, based on gravity measurements made with Cassini. When the spacecraft flies by Enceladus, the gravity of the moon changes the probe's speed. Scientists can measure those changes back on Earth by detecting fluctuations in the frequency of the signal that Cassini sends back. If the spacecraft's speed doesn't change, the frequency would remain the same.

        thewire.com

But depending on where Cassini flies, the frequency of the signal changes in particular ways. This allows scientists to learn more about the moon's subsurface features. Scientists had already known about the presence of a depression or "dimple" at the south pole of Enceladus, "as if there is some amount of, effectively, missing material," Lunine said. But in this new study, the change in gravity associated with the depression was not as dramatic as expected.

        cnn.com

"There must be some higher density layer that's underneath the ice, and that has to be a liquid water ocean, because there's really nothing else plausible that can explain that offset to what we would expect for the gravity signature of this depression," he said. It is possible that this ocean has been sending out the plumes that Cassini first observed in 2005, but this has not been verified.

        newschanneldaily.com

How can we look for signs of life there?

NASA's Cassini spacecraft glided high above Saturn in October to capture this 36-image mosaic of the ringed planet. The colors of the planet appear natural, just as the human eye would see them
Image via turner.com

Sending a probe to Enceladus with a drill wouldn't be entirely practical because the liquid water is so far under the ice that it would be hard to access, Lunine said. Instead, a spacecraft with instruments more sophisticated than Cassini could fly through the plumes of material being ejected from fractures in the ice. Cassini has already detected the water vapor and organic molecules in these plumes, using a device called a mass spectrometer.

        independent.co.uk

But a more advanced, more sensitive version of the same instrument could better test for the "menu of molecules" associated with an advanced biological system, Lunine said. Detecting these molecules could be "the smoking gun for whether in fact there is life down there or not," he said.

        cnn.com

Fun fact: The small bright dot seen in the bottom right is not another Saturn moon. It's Earth.

Image via turner.com

"The distance between Saturn and our planet is constantly changing because both are constantly in motion. When they are closest together during their orbits, Saturn is 746 million miles away from Earth. At its farthest, they are just over a billion miles apart."

2 Former Ministers Being Tested After Exposure To COVID-19

This morning, 2 March, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) member Wong Chen called for health precautions after an ex-minister and ex-deputy minister were found to have come into contact with a COVID-19 patient

Wong Chen revealed in a tweet that both former ministers are being tested after having attended several long political meetings together last week.

In view of the fact that the Khazanah Covid 19 victim was in touch with an ex minister and a deputy minister about 3 days ago, we have to take extra precautions. https://t.co/TnmfA4d8JS— Wong Chen (@WongChenPKR) March 2, 2020

Wong Chen added that the responsible thing to do is to quarantine himself today and tomorrow until they receive the test results of the former ministers

"Please note that both have not been found to be infected and that tests are ongoing... I am perfectly fine, healthwise this morning. I will be working from home and will engage my officers via conference call at 10am," he added in a Facebook post.Wong Chen also called for the public to not panic but to take extra precautions."Please do not panic, the main aim is to be knowledgeable and help contain the spread. Those who have come in contact with a COVID-19 victim should practice a bit of self-quarantine discipline, and if sickly, to contact the hospital for tests."

The whole incident has been described as the "coronavirus suicide mission", as US politican Solomon Yue likened it to firefighters who previously fought during the Chernobyl disaster.During the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, many of those firefighters had sacrificed their lives to put out blazes. Those who survived suffered years later from radiation exposure.

Like Chernobyl firefighters, some of thosedoctors & nurses WON'T come back to their love ones. This is a #coronarvirus suicide mission for many of them. God bless them. https://t.co/uz1prAbQOv— Solomon Yue (@SolomonYue) January 27, 2020

The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared a global health emergency, as the outbreak continues to spread outside of China

As of today, 31 January, the number of deaths in China has surpassed 200 with almost 10,000 cases of the virus.Cases outside of China have been increasing and are estimated to be over 100, according to The Guardian.In an attempt to curb the outbreak, at least 16 cities - including Wuhan - have been put on lockdown. Business Insider revealed that it is the largest quarantine in human history.

In the midst of all the bad news, an encouraging video recently emerged of Wuhan residents collectively chanting 'jia you' which simply translated means 'keep on persevering'
