Digelar sebagai 'Escargot Malaysia', hidangan siput sedut ini direbus terlebih dahulu dan digaul bersama mentega, susu dan cili padi. Bukan itu sahaja, hidangan ini juga ditabur dengan keju yang kemudiannya dibakar sehingga cair dan meleleh.

Hidangan fusion ini mula mendapat perhatian orang ramai apabila Malaysia Hari Ini telah membuat sorotan tentang makanan-makanan tempatan yang diinovasikan bersama keju

Menurut pengusaha restoran Izi Stesen, Nur Syairah Zainal Abidin, ilham untuk menu ini tercipta kerana beliau mahu menyediakan hidangan yang mempunyai sedikit kelainan dari hidangan makanan laut lain di restorannya seperti shell out asam pedas dan kerang bakar.Selain dari Siput Sedut Cheese, restoran ini juga menghidangkan beraneka makanan laut yang disaluti kuah mentega dan keju seperti Sotong Butter Cheese dan Lobster Garlic Butter Cheese.

Memang boleh difahamkan kenapa menu siput sedut keju ini dikecam teruk oleh netizen

Dimana pada kebiasaannya siput sedut disediakan sebagai masak lemak cili api, kini hidangan ini digandingkan bersama keju. Manakan tidak, siput sedut memang sesuai sekali dimasak lemak cili api. Ini kerana tekstur berlendir siput sedut yang enak bersama rasa pedas dan berempah pada masak lemak cili api. Adakah menu ini sudah melampaui batas ataupun ia hanyalah perbezaan cita rasa sahaja?

Indonesian La Ode Ardi Rasila was sentenced to death by a High Court here over the murder of an AmBank officer last year.

        thestar.com.my

High Court judge Justice Akhtar Tahir ruled that the prosecution has proven the case against the 37-year-old Indonesian beyond reasonable doubt. The security guard was ordered on Thursday to be hanged until death for committing robbery and firing a pump-action shotgun at the officer with the intention to kill her.

        thestar.com.my

The 37-year-old was also received the death sentence for his second charge with committing robbery using firearms. A total of 24 prosecution witnesses and one defence witness were called throughout the trial which began on June 24 last year.

An Indonesian security guard has claimed trial to murdering AmBank officer Norazita Abdul Talib October last year. La Ode Ardi Rasila, 36, was brought before High Court judge Justice Akhtar Tahir on Tuesday.

        thestar.com.my

The accused also pleaded not guilty to a second charge of committing the scheduled offence of robbery and allegedly firing a shot from a pump gun with the intention to kill Norazita, an offence under Section 3 of the Firearms Act 1971.

        thestar.com.my

He faces the mandatory death sentence under Section 302 of the Penal Code, if convicted. The accused who was represented by counsel S.Selvi also faces a second charge of robbing and shooting Norazita with a pump gun to intentionally kill her, at the same place and time.

Police Release Photo Of Mastermind Behind Bank Robbery By A Security Guard

The mastermind behind the AmBank robbery in Subang Jaya last month worked as a security guard at a company for more than a year, police disclosed yesterday.

        yahoo.com

Joemar began working as a guard upon his arrival to Malaysia one and a half years ago. He held a fake MyKad bearing the name Osman Salleh. Police are talking to the Klang Valley-based company where he worked to find out more about the mysterious suspect.

        themalaymailonline.com

"We think he and the main suspect who committed the murder and robbery planned the crime together.
"They come from similar backgrounds and became close friends, though they worked for different companies.
"We believe Joemar is still in the country, is unarmed and on his own. We are in hot pursuit of him," he said.

        thestar.com.my

“Joemar was believed to be waiting outside the bank and rode the getaway motorcycle. We believe he is also an Indonesian but are unsure as to exactly where he hails from,” said Selangor police chief Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan.

        yahoo.com

Police believe the man is still in the country and has the remaining RM430,000 stolen from the bank.
Police managed to retrieve RM21,800 of the RM450,000 robbed from the bank on Oct 23.

Killer Security Guard Identified As Indonesian As Police Hunts For Second Man
Image via themalaysianinsider.com

The suspect who was nabbed for the murder of an Ambank officer in a robbery two weeks ago has been identified as an Indonesian from Sulawesi.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar today named the suspect as Laode Ardina Laode Rasila, 35, from Desa Latugoh, Kacamatan Lawa in Sulawesi.

        yahoo.com

Laode Ardina had used false identification documents and disguised himself as Ardi Hamzah from Sabah to apply for a job as a security guard. He allegedly bought his false Malaysian identity card from another Indonesian.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“The MyKad he bought was altogether fake. It was not issued by the National Registration Department (JPN), therefore its biometric properties were not traceable in the department's or any other database," said Khalid in a press conference at the Royal Malaysia Police College here, in Cheras.

        nst.com.my

Police are hunting for a man called "Joemar," believed to be the accomplice of the main suspect in the robbery cum murder of an AmBank officer in Subang Jaya. "Police believe that "Joemar", is sitting on much of the loot. He is not a security guard.

        bernama.com.my

According to Inspector General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, the new suspect, known only as Joemar, had planned the heist and is now in possession of a major portion of the loot.
“We believe the accomplice planned the heist together with the main suspect.”, he said.

        thestar.com.my

Security Firm Responsible For Hiring The Killer Guard Is Still Operating As Usual

The Ambank branch in USJ Sentral 2 here where a bank officer was shot dead by a security guard last week is still being guarded by personnel from the same security company.

        abnxcess.com

An AmBank spokesman said that Kawalan Prima was still authorised to provide services as the firm was only given a show-cause letter from the Home Ministry.

        abnxcess.com

“We explained the situation to the necessary people and they know we have done nothing wrong. That is all that matters,” said the Kawalan Prima's legal officer who refused to be named.
The bank staff, meanwhile, were apparently unhappy that a guard from the same firm was still working there, but they refused to elaborate citing company regulations.

        themalaymailonline.com

The latest security guard told The Malay Mail that he had been redeployed from another bank in SS14, four days after the shooting incident. Checks showed that the security firm provides more than 600 security officers, including armed guards, to various banks and establishments.

The guard escaped with RM450,000. Cops have recovered RM20,000 from 3 family members who were detained in the ongoing investigation.

Home Ministry Revokes The Operating License Of The Security Firm Who Hired The Robber Security Guard

The Home Ministry has revoked the operating licence of the security firm responsible for hiring the guard who shot dead a bank officer in a heist in Selangor on Wednesday.

        thestar.com.my

Deputy Secretary-General (Security) Datuk Alwi Ibrahim said the decision was made after the ministry had found the company had breached regulations on the handling of firearms.

        nst.com.my

Alwi was quoted saying, "The company has a firearms licence but the personnel that it deploys must pass a security check vetted by the police, including not having any criminal record and trained to handle firearms.”

        themalaymailonline.com

What irked Alwi even more was that the security firm only decided to submit details of the rogue guard, today, for vetting by the ministry.
"This was too little, too late," he told reporters at the ministry. He, however, declined to name the security firm.

Shot Bank Officer's Husband: "He Didn't Just Kill My Wife, He Took Away The Love Of My Life"

Shot Bank Officer's Husband Says He Called His Wife But The Bank Manager Answered

Just an hour before AmBank operations officer Norazita Abu Talib, also 37, was shot dead, she called her husband — and out of the blue — asked if he loved her. He said yes — and did not know his world would come crashing down in the next few hours.

        themalaymailonline.com

Irwan said he was informed of the shooting by a friend who read it on  Facebook but was told by numerous sources his wife was doing fine.

        yahoo.com

“I called my wife a few times after that but the calls went unanswered, until the bank manager answered the phone. He did not tell me what had happened and just asked me to come to the bank,” he said.

        malaysiaedition.net

“At  about 9pm, a police officer pulled me aside and told me my wife had been killed in an armed robbery and the person who took away her life got away,” said the personal driver in between tears.

        themalaymailonline.com

Irwan and Norazita, who both grew up in Kampar, Perak, had been together since they were both 16. They had been married for 13 years.
“We were happy. There were hardly any arguments between us and we worked very well in raising our children. That man didn’t just kill my wife, he took away the love of my life.”

Bank Officer's Father Says He Didn't Have The Heart To Tell His Wife

"So I just told her that our daughter was involved in an accident and that we needed to leave for Kuala Lumpur.

"Only when we reached there my wife found out the true story," Abu Talib told reporters at their house in Kampung Baru Air Itam Labu here on Thursday.

Looking For The "Perfect One"? This App Slides Into Your DMs Each Time You Get A Job Match

If only looking for a job match could be as easy as just the swipe of a finger. :')

Unfortunately, for most of us, looking for a job is even harder than finding a boyfriend or girlfriend, amirite?

Sometimes, just finding a suitable job match can take forever.If you've ever gone on a job hunt, you'll understand how tiring the process can be. It's almost like looking for a needle in a haystack — and if you manage to find it, there's still no guarantee that it's the right match.

For jobseekers who are still working, it can be really inconvenient to just find time to sit down and look for jobs

Image via Freepik

Most days, you're already in the office from nine to five (plus hour-long traffic jams to work and back). It's not like you can use your working hours to apply for jobs elsewhere, so that's half your day usually gone.By the time you get home, you still need to take care of your family, do chores, and get clean.When you finally have a few moments to yourself, the last thing you want to do is to scroll through job listings — you'd much rather prefer to be scrolling on Instagram or TikTok to unwind.

Even for full-time jobseekers, the whole process can be a hassle

Image via GIPHY

First of all, you have to spend hours just sifting through thousands of potential listings on job search platforms. Out of those thousands, only a handful of jobs may be suitable for you.And it doesn't mean that you immediately get the jobs you apply for. Sometimes, you apply just a day late and the spot is already filled. Other times, you don't get the job because you're not a match.After a few rounds of searching and applying, it can get pretty stressful and draining.

But what if we told you there was a better way?
In fact, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and wait for a notification to pop up on your phone, telling you that you've got a match! :O

Image via Smartmockups (Edited by SAYS)

Enter JobStreet's mobile app, the easiest way for you to get your ideal job match.It's as simple as creating a dating profile, but this time, you're creating your job profile hehe. All you have to do is download JobStreet's mobile app, register and key in the criteria for jobs you're looking for, and click 'Enable Notifications'. Next, the app will automatically give you a ping and "slide into your DMs" whenever you get a job match, woohoo!After getting a notification, it's completely up to you if you wanna pursue it further. ;PP.S. It's good to go check out your potential employer's profile too before actually applying.

Now, even if you're busy with work or lazy to go through thousands of listings, you can still get paired with a potential job match, yayy!

The great thing is that you'll get a notification any time there's a job match, which means you won't miss out on your potential job. In fact, as soon as you see the notification, you can immediately apply for the job through the JobStreet app, which means you'll be higher up on the list of applicants.During days when you have no time, you can take five minutes to glance through the list of notifications before going to bed. And whenever you feel that special connection, go ahead and apply for it. Who knows, your "perfect match" might be waiting! <3

What's The Most Successful Method Of Getting PTPTN Defaulters To Pay Up? The Travel Ban

National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) deputy CEO Mastura Mohd Khalid revealed yesterday, 16 May, that a travel ban was the most successful method to recover loans from defaulters

The revelation was made at the launch of Konsultasi Rakyat, a PTPTN public consultation programme which will go on until 13 June."More than two-thirds of PTPTN defaulters started repaying their loans after we imposed the travel ban," Mastura said, reported Malaysiakini."However, this method was stopped as it created an inconvenience, as defaulters were stopped (from leaving the country) at exit points," she explained.

Image via Bernama/theSundaily

Other suggested methods of ensuring repayment of loans included barring defaulters from renewing various documents - such as passports, driving licenses, road tax, and business licenses, - mandatory pay deductions, stricter enforcement, and implementing a guarantor system.

At the event, PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan said the travel ban could be reinstated if that was the wish of the public

Image via L. Manimaran/NSTP

"During engagement sessions (with stakeholders), there were discussions on the effectiveness of the travel ban," he said, reported Malaysiakini."There were also views that action should be continued against hardcore defaulters to ensure that they would be more responsible. However, we take the middle ground in this consultation. We will gather all the ideas from the people and then the government will make the decision."

However, the comments by Wan Saiful have led many to believe that PTPTN would be bringing back the travel ban for defaulters

Penang executive councillor Dr Afif Bahardin had slammed the move as "bringing back a culture from the BN era", reported Malaysiakini."I would like to remind him that this PTPTN issue was a rallying cry for Harapan Youth in the 14th general election, where we galvanised youths nationwide so that PTPTN can find a better formula for the future," the PKR assemblyman said."The PTPTN issue also became one of the deciding factors for the youth of the nation to swing their support and votes towards Harapan and consequently topple BN."

PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Meanwhile, PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim called for a leeway to be given before implementing a travel ban on defaulters."I will support the people's will, and I feel that the public will disagree with any harsh actions, especially for those who have yet to get a job," the Port Dickson MP said, reported The Star."They took a loan, buy they do not have any work yet. Why do we want to burden them, that is my view."

Earlier today, 17 May, Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik clarified PTPTN travel ban was merely a suggestion based on public feedback

Image via Sairien Nafis/NSTP

New Straits Times reported Dr Maszlee saying, "The travel ban suggestion did not come from PTPTN itself."He explained that the suggestion to reimpose the travel ban was made during a public consultation on loan repayments.The public can also make their voices heard by leaving their suggestions at the Konsultasi Rakyat portal.


Here's How Nokia and Microsoft Were Planning to Cheat on Each Other

Microsoft was testing Surface Phone

While Nokia was testing Android in a variety of different ways, Microsoft was busy experimenting with a Surface Phone.

        theverge.com

Sources familiar with these plans have revealed to TheVerge that a number of prototypes have been built to test the viability of such a device. This “Surface Phone” was intended to be ready in case Nokia canceled its commitment to Windows Phone.

        intomobile.com

Terry Myerson, who now heads the Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox operating systems, was in charge of the secret Surface phone project.

        theverge.com

Before Microsoft bought Nokia, the smartphone manufacturer was testing Android versions of its Lumia phones

Before Microsoft bought Nokia, the smartphone manufacturer was testing Android versions of its Lumia phones
Image via imgur.com

"Well before" discussions between Microsoft and Nokia lead to the former company buying the latter, Nokia was reportedly testing Android on their Lumia smartphones, having managed to get it running on prototype devices.

        techspot.com

According to NYT report, Microsoft knew about Nokia's dalliance with Android, and that may have prompted Microsoft to get serious about intervening

Neither Microsoft nor Nokia are commenting, but the report certainly makes the $7.2-billion acquisition make more sense. Microsoft and Nokia were already working together exclusively, so the only thing a purchase would do is ensure a long-term commitment from both sides.

        nytimes.com

In 2011, Nokia reached a deal with Microsoft to use Windows Phone on its smartphones..

Nokia and Microsoft agreed to a partnership in 2011 that would require the two to work together until 2014, but the Android Lumia revelation appeared to indicate Nokia was open to leaving Microsoft after the deal ran out.

        latimes.com

Since the partnership began, Nokia has released dozens of devices that have received critical praise, including its latest phone, the Lumia 1020, which boasts a 41-megapixel camera.

        pcmag.com

While, Microsoft has released far fewer updates to its software and it has failed to curate top apps, like Instagram and YouTube, onto its platform.

        mobilesyrup.com

...but Nokia had an option to exit that partnership at the end of 2014.

Image via in.com

It would have been devastating to Microsoft’s mobile phone efforts since Nokia accounts for more than 80 percent of the Windows Phone handsets sold. For Nokia, changing such an important ingredient in its products would have been a costly setback too.

        nytimes.com

Nokia has faced criticism that it made the wrong decision in choosing Windows Phone over Android several years ago. Nokia’s share of the smartphone market fell to 3 percent during the first half of 2013, from 32.8 percent in 2010.

Najib Isn't Happy About How The Smoking Ban Is Being Implemented. Here's Why

Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak penned his dissatisfaction over implementation of the smoking ban in a Facebook post yesterday, 9 January

Clarifying that he is not a smoker, Najib pointed out that the government should respect smokers who are not ready to quit just yet."I fully support the efforts of the government to reduce the number of smokers in the country, but a smoking ban that is too draconian is unfair to those who still choose to smoke," the former premier wrote in his Facebook post. "It is also unfair for food and beverage operators, as well as those in tourism," he added.

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Najib was referring to an announcement by State Health, Consumer Affairs, National Integration and Human Resource Committee chairman A. Sivanesan yesterday, who said smoking is not allowed on the five-foot way

"If they cannot even smoke on the five-foot way, are you saying they can only smoke in the middle of the road and wait for the bus to ram into them?" Najib wrote. The ex-prime minister added that during the Barisan Nasional administration, the smoking ban was implemented at all offices, air-conditioned restaurants, and hotels while providing some leeway for smoking areas to be allotted outside their premises."But the Pakatan Harapan government has already removed this leeway," Najib wrote.

Image via Malay Mail

The former premier also proposed a time restriction on smoking

"If the government's concern is for children being exposed to smoke, maybe it can consider introducing a time restriction on smoking outside premises?" Najib wrote."Maybe exemption can be given to smoking in a specified area after 9pm," he added.However, Najib wrote that the ban should still be observed indoors even if it is not air-conditioned so that non-smokers can enjoy their food and drinks.

In other news, a group of smokers recently filed a judicial review to challenge the smoking ban:

The driver of the double-decker express bus which was involved in an accident that claimed the lives of three passengers at KM11 Jalan Bentong-Raub on Saturday, was charged in the magistrate's court today with consuming morphine.

        thesundaily.my

Wan Khairul Efendi Wan Mustapa from Bachok, Kelantan, was accused of ingesting morphine into himself based on the results of urine tests conducted on him by the police shortly after he was detained following the accident. He was charged under Section 15 (1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act and is liable to be jailed up to two years or fined a maximum of RM5,000 or both, if convicted.

        theborneopost.com

Wan Khairul Efendi, who was represented by counsel Azizzul Shariman Mat Yusoff, claimed trial and was granted bail at RM2,000. Magistrate Mohd Isa Mohd Nor fixed May 19 for re-mention. Inspector Anuar Afindi appeared for the prosecution.

        bernama.com.my

The accused was, however, re-arrested by the police outside the court to assist investigations into the accident under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act.

BuzzFeed Confuses A Photo Of Durian With Jackfruit In Cooking Video

Our native fruits are constantly embroiled in some thorny situations, from being used as an "alien fruit" to representing domestic abuse

While many of them do not know better about our Southeast Asian delicacies, we would never expect a food network to confuse a jackfruit with our King of Fruits - durian.

Durian (left) and jackfruit (right).
Image via Quora

The latest crime committed against durians comes from BuzzFeed's food channel Goodful

Image via Goodful/YouTube

In a video titled 'I Tried To Make Popcorn Chicken Out Of Jackfruit', published on 15 December 2019, the host introduces jackfruit, but the photo that pops out is a durian.

The host proceeded to make vegan-friendly popcorn chicken by using canned jackfruit instead of fresh fruit

Image via Goodful/YouTube

"For the sake of this video, I will be using canned jackfruit mostly because I want it to be more relatable for you, but also because I don't feel like dismantling a giant jackfruit," the host says, "it is such a pain in the a**."

After the video went online, it gained some heat from netizens living in the Southeast Asian region

Image via YouTube

Netizens were so upset by it, one of them even posted a screenshot of the video to Facebook yesterday, 2 January

Image via Facebook

"'Jackfruit' according to BuzzFeed," wrote the caption of the viral picture with over 2,800 reactions.Irritated netizens flooded the comments section over the false portrayal of durian."These gweilo (Caucasians) are going to die one day," a netizen joked."Gosh. Some of these folks can't tell the difference between jackfruit and durian. Worse yet, they all acting like they're the experts," a Facebook user chastised. "Steven Lim from Buzzfeed's 'Worth It' will be offended," another Facebook user wrote, referring to a Malaysian host who works in one of the Buzzfeed's series.

Image via Facebook

In the video's description box on YouTube, Goodful credited Getty Images for the durian photo they used in the video

Image via Getty Image

However, when checking the stock image site, photos of durians are found to be mixed together with photos of jackfruits - and all of them are tagged with the keyword 'jackfruit'.Since the vegan recipe did not involve a whole jackfruit, it is likely the Goodful production team has never seen a jackfruit before. Hence, the mistake.

Even lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has committed the same mistake:

Viral Video Shows A Woman Giving Her Dog A Bath At Tapah R&R Diaper Changing Room

A video that recently went viral shows a woman bathing a small black dog in the sink of a public 'nappy change' room at the Tapah rest and service area (R&R), Perak

A still captured from the video.
Image via Farah Shafiza/Facebook (Edited by SAYS)

On Friday, 8 February, a Facebook user by the name of Farah Shafiza uploaded a 16-second video of the woman bathing the dog by the sink."R&R Tapah. Women's toilet. Can see it is a 'nappy change' room!" she wrote in the post.

It was claimed by Farah that the woman had been reprimanded by members of the public and even a cleaner at the R&R

Image via Farah Shafiza/Facebook

Farah and her husband had stopped for a break during their journey back to Kuala Lumpur from Penang when the incident happened at 3am, reported New Straits Times (NSTP)."Several of the cleaners were reprimanding the woman for cleaning her dog there," Farah told NSTP."I, too, told her that she could not wash her dog there – but our advice was not heeded."

After the video was reposted to a Penang-based Facebook page, the dog-washing woman drew strong condemnation from netizens

Image via Penang Kini/Facebook

"This is not a religious issue or whatever. This is a common sense issue, consideration and hygienic reason as well!" one netizen wrote.

Image via Penang Kini/Facebook

Another netizen called the dog-bathing woman "selfish", adding that she could "bath[e] the animal at home".

Image via Penang Kini/Facebook

"If I was the cleaner and my reprimands didn't work, I would just turn off the electricity so that it will be dark, [and] turn off the taps so there's no water. No common sense," one more netizen wrote.

PLUS Malaysia has since reported that the room where the incident took place has been "treated and cleaned"

Image via PLUS Malaysia/Facebook

"PLUS expresses its regret on the isolated incident which the woman ignored our cleaner and customers' warning upon witnessing the incident and would like to reiterate that all Rest and Service Areas are pet restricted areas to ensure cleanliness and comfort of all highway customers," the highway concessionary wrote on its website.

Those Flying Out Of Malaysia Will Have To Pay Up To RM150 Departure Tax Starting 1 Sept

The government has announced that travellers flying out of Malaysia will be required to pay a departure levy of RM8 to RM150 from 1 September onwards

Image via Abd Rahim Rahmat / New Straits Times

Initially proposed during the tabling of Budget 2019 last year, the Departure Levy (Rate of Departure Levy) Order 2019 as well as several ministerial orders related to said levy were officially gazetted by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng on Wednesday, 31 July.

Levy rates will depend on the intended destination as well as whether the flight is in economy class.
Travellers flying from Malaysia to ASEAN countries will have to pay RM8 if they are in economy class, and RM50 if they're flying in other classes.

Image via The Malaysian Insight

ASEAN countries consist of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.According to Malay Mail, the Departure Levy (Rate of Departure Levy) Order 2019 noted that economy class refers to flights that are "advertised and sold by airlines using economic terms or their equivalent, or having the lowest prices when compared to other packages".

As for those flying to other countries outside of the ASEAN region, those flying in economy will have to RM20, while those flying in other classes will be charged RM150

Image via sitifatimahdullah

There are, however, exemptions to the rule. The departure levy will not be imposed on:

(i) Infants and toddlers aged below 24 months or two years old; (ii) Passengers transiting via Malaysia, provided the transit period does not exceed 12 hours; and(iii) Any crew on duty on board any vehicle (including aircraft or vessel), and anyone driving or riding any type of vehicle for personal use (including aircraft or vessel) and pillion riders or passengers of such vehicles.

Anda Gemar Butter Chicken? Kedai 'Pop-Up' Ini Jual Durian Butter Chicken. Sedap Gila Beb!

Makanan tempatan yang ditabur keju seperti cendol dan nasi lemak sudahpun membosankan. Apa kata kita memartabatkan pula bahan-bahan tempatan seperti durian dan belacan dalam masakan kita? Barulah unik!

Image via giphy.com

Begitulah bermulanya inspirasi bagi Umar Abdul Aziz untuk mengusahakan Projek Dapur Umar. Beliau menggunakan bahan-bahan tempatan untuk menghasilkan hidangan fusion yang sesuai dengan cita rasa orang Malaysia.

Lihat gambar di bawah:

Durian Butter Chicken

Durian Butter Chicken
Image via Projek Dapur Umar / Facebook

Menurut Umar, idea untuk hidangan ini bermula apabila beliau susah untuk mendapatkan butter chicken di sekitar kawasan Kampung Datuk Keramat. Namun begitu, kawasan tersebut melimpah ruah dengan buah durian, maka terciptalah 'Durian Butter Chicken'. Walaupun agak pelik, memang tidak boleh dinafikan bahawa menu ini sangat unik! Penambahan rasa durian yang lemak manis kepada hidangan klasik butter chicken membuatkan hidangan ini menjadi lebih nikmat.

Resepi Durian Butter Chicken ini merupakan hasil eksperimen selama tiga bulan kerana Projek Dapur Umar menekankan tiga prinsip utama iaitu Rasa Baru, Eksperimentasi, dan Alam Sekitar

Umar Abdul Aziz
Image via Projek Dapur Umar / Facebook

Walaupun Projek Dapur Umar masih berada dalam peringkat awal, Umar sentiasa mencari ilham untuk menghasilkan hidangan yang 'ngam' dengan lidah orang Malaysia. Oleh itu, setiap resepi akan melalui proses taste testing untuk menjamin kelazatan dan keenakan. Menurut Umar, beliau akan menyediakan lebih banyak lagi hidangan fusion seperti Pickled Mango Spaghetti pada masa akan datang.Untuk anda yang environmentally-conscious, jangan risau kerana Projek Dapur Umar menggunakan bungkusan makanan yang mesra alam sekitar.

Buat masa ini, Projek Dapur Umar hanya beroperasi mengikut konsep 'pop-up' di Ali Bistro, Setiawangsa pada setiap hari Sabtu dan Ahad

Image via HungryGoWhere

Disebabkan Projek Dapur Umar hanya beroperasi pada setiap hujung minggu pada jam 8 hingga 11 malam, memang tidak mustahil jika Durian Butter Chicken yang dijual juga akan kehabisan stok dalam masa dua jam. Lebih-lebih lagi harganya yang murah iaitu RM15. Anda juga boleh mendapatkan diskaun sebanyak RM5 jika anda LIKE Facebook mereka. Untuk anda yang ingin mencuba, jemput datang awal. First come, first serve!

Aviation Chief Quits After MH370 Report Highlights Failure By KLIA Air Traffic Controller

Azharuddin Abdul Rahman has tendered his resignation as the Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) following a Safety Investigation Report on the missing MH370 which highlighted failures by Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre

Image via CGTNOfficial

Azharuddin's resignation will take effect on 14 August

In a statement, Azharuddin said that the long-awaited report which was released on Monday had highlighted lapses by air traffic control in complying with standing operating procedures - without suggesting they were to blame for the loss of MH370."While the report does not suggest that the accident is caused by the Department of Civil Aviation then, nevertheless, there are some very apparent findings with regards to the operations of the KL Air Traffic Control Centre; where it was stated that the Air Traffic Controller did not comply with the Standard Operating Procedures."Therefore, it is with regret and after much thought and contemplation that I have decided to resign as the chairman of Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia effective fourteen (14) days from the date of the resignation notice which I have served today," read the statement released by Azharuddin on Tuesday, 31 July.

Azharuddin, while adding that he tried his level best to assist in the search for MH370, expressed sadness over having to leave

"Over the past four years, I have tried my level best to assist in the search for MH370 and I am ever resolute in finding answers we all seek towards this unfortunate tragedy as we owe it to the families and loved ones," the CAAM Chairman said."I am saddened to have to leave under these circumstances," Azharuddin added."Serving the industry for more than 40 years has been the greatest honour of my life and I apologise for not being able to fulfil the remainder of my tenure. Aviation has been a core part of my life since childhood and it will remain so for the rest of my life."

Azharuddin Abdul Rahman.

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Anthony Loke has instructed for a special committee to study the report and make recommendations on further actions to be taken against the air traffic controllers

"The MH370 report stated that there was a breach of standard operating procedures, so action must be taken. However, it is complicated because at the time, air traffic controllers were under the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) but now they are under the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM)," Loke said, adding that the committee would be set up under the secretary-general, reported The Star Online.However, the Transport Minister declined to reveal who all are going to be in the committee. He also declined to reveal the number of ATCs involved in not following SOP during the disappearance of MH370 in March 2014.

Take A Look At How These Huskies "Destroyed" A House After They Got Hold Of A Dragon Fruit

Earlier this week, a Facebook post went viral.
It showed how two huskies completely destroyed their human's house after they got hold of dragon fruit.

The viral Facebook post, which at the time of writing has over 10k shares and more than 2k comments, warns others to "keep dragon fruits away" from your doggos.

The guilty-looking culprits.

The pinkish hue on the two doesn't nearly come close to the trail of pink mayhem they unleashed on the floor:

And don't let the look of guilt in the previous photo fool you, because as these two photos show, both the huskies were completely unrepentant in carrying out their act:

Residents At Seremban Old Folks Home Allegedly Abused, Starved, And Forced To Drink Urine

Authorities are investigating the staff of an old folks home in Seremban after a viral video showed an elderly resident being harassed by a staff member on 17 June

In the video, a woman - assumed to be a caretaker at the nursing home - can be seen taunting the elderly woman repeatedly, while an elderly man watched.

Image via Facebook

The resident attempted to fight back several times.

Image via Facebook

The netizen, who has since deleted his Facebook account, alleged that the nursing home caretakers have hit, starved, and forced the elderly residents to drink urine
