This guy has only eaten raw meat for 5-years after an illness caused him to develop an unusual appetite for animal carcasses

Derek Nance from Lexington, Kentucky, claims that he never gets sick of eating the same thing and feels better than ever, adding 'the idea of cooked meat no longer appeals. It just tastes burned.'

        dailymail.co.uk

He said that doctors thought he'd developed a food allergy when everything he ate started making him sick almost 6 years ago. To combat his sudden weight loss, he scoured the internet to find treatment plans and diets.

At first he cut out wheat and dairy but when that didn't work he turned vegan, which also had no effect.

He even brushes his teeth with animal fat in a bid to feed his odd food addiction

WATCH: Derek Nance gives a demonstration of the 'paleo diet'

      Unsupported video platform

He said he had been sick for such a long time that he was willing to give anything a try

He then remembered a man he'd met, who'd experienced similar symptoms and recommended a carnivorous version of the Palaeolithic diet, popularly referred to as the caveman diet.

        dailymail.co.uk

'I had a couple of goats in my yard that I was using for milk and you know, I was tired of milking them so I slaughtered them. 'I ate both of those goats, all raw, and just switched over like that.'

        dailystar.co.uk

At first he said he experienced mild diarrhea, as his body adapted to his new meat-loaded diet but three weeks later he was hooked.

        vice.com

'I noticed this real strong blood-like taste in the back of my throat and then all of a sudden I started getting strong cravings for it.' Nance is keen to spread the word about eating raw meat.

Amazingly enough his girlfriend Joanne is a vegetarian

However, she only recently decided to stick to greens and has tried her beau's diet in the past.

        dailymail.co.uk

'We had lamb tenderloins once and they were delicious, but I’m a vegetarian for compassionate reasons.'

        grist.org

She says she understands that he must restrict his diet for health reasons, and feels lucky that she can eat anything.

        vice.com

The former electrician says that his family think he's 'lost it' and at the 'deep end of insane'

'Eating raw meat is just something they can’t accept. My father has a master's in biology and he tells me that if I eat raw meat I’ll get some sort of pathogen.'

        vice.com

During family visits his diet is not mentioned and they tend to avoid getting together around the dinner table.

        dailymail.co.uk

He concludes: 'Half of my problem with my digestion was actually just lack of enzymes. My body just doesn’t produce enough enzymes to digest starchy foods.’

Nance has a quick swig of lamb's blood - which he says is a great source of vitamin C

Malaysian Guy Gets Scammed Of RM9,000 While Trying To Buy A Phone He Found Online

A man from Kuala Lumpur was scammed of RM9,000 while trying to buy a Huawei P30 Pro from a seller he found on an online marketplace

Jin Wai Choo made a Facebook post about the incident yesterday, 24 September, where he warned others of the scammer's modus operandi.He attached photos of the scammer he met through Mudah.my.In his post, he also expressed his disappointment with the banking system in Malaysia, which he claimed was not fast enough to block his credit card in an emergency situation.

Choo wrote that he was interested to buy a Huawei P30 Pro listed for RM2,800 on Mudah.my by a Felix Tan, and contacted the seller

They agreed to meet at the Starbucks in Solaris Dutamas on Tuesday, 24 September, at 2pm for the transaction to be paid by card.Choo met with a Chinese man in his late 20s to early 30s who brought along a blue bag containing a sealed iPhone XS box meant for another customer.The seller said that he would need to go back to his office to collect the Huawei phone and process the payment with the credit card terminal in his office.Choo initially refused to hand over his credit card and suggested to follow him to his workplace, but the seller said that his boss would not allow outsiders into the office.

Little did Choo know that this was in the sealed iPhone XS box.
Image via Jin Wai Choo/ Facebook

The seller assured Choo that he would be quick and that he would leave his sealed iPhone XS and credit card with him as a guarantee that he would come back

At that point, Choo decided to trust the seller and gave his credit card.However, when the seller was 'at the office', he said that he could not process the payment when Choo did not receive an OTP code.The seller then called Choo for his credit card pin, and Choo, who was in a hurry to get back to work and wanted to settle things fast, gave it to him."This is a mistake on my side, and I know most of you would think how stupid it was to give your pin," Choo explained in his post."But in this case, bearing in mind I'm holding the iPhone and 'his' credit card, I felt secured enough at that point."

Image via Jin Wai Choo/ Facebook

Choo began to suspect that he had been scammed when he received a notification from his bank about a withdrawal of RM1,500 at an ATM, instead of a transaction

He immediately called the bank's hotline to get his card blocked, but in the time it took for him to get through the automated operator, two more withdrawals of RM1,500 had already been made.When he finally reached a customer service representative and was in the process of getting his identity verified, another withdrawal of RM1,500 was made.In the five to six minutes it took to call and block the card, six transactions were made, coming up to a total of RM9,000.

Image via Jin Wai Choo/ Facebook

Choo has since filed a police report and also realised that the credit card he was holding with the name Felix Tan could belong to the previous victim

He found out that other people on the online forum Lowyat.net have been scammed by the same person.Choo further wrote about three things he would like to point out from the incident:- Why credit card limits are set at a high rate of RM9,300 by default,- Why don't all banks prioritise customers who want to block their stolen cards, and- Why his bank did not give him a call to confirm that he was withdrawing large amounts of money in a short span of time.

SAYS has reached out to CIMB for a statement on the incident.

Najib Is Lodging A Police Report Against Himself Today Over Infamous Murder Cases

Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced in a Facebook post last night regarding his intention to lodge a police report against himself today, 12 October

"I will ask my assistant to lodge a police report against me so that authorities under the Pakatan Harapan government can re-investigate if I am involved in high-profile murders," Najib wrote in the Facebook post yesterday. Malaysiakini reported that the former Prime Minister's statement came after Democratic Action Party (DAP) veteran Lim Kit Siang had repeatedly called for investigations into several high-profile murders to be reopened.

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Lim had accused Najib of being reluctant to probe four controversial murder cases, among others

The cases include:- Hussain Najadi, AmBank founder,- Kevin Morais, deputy public prosecutor,- Altantuya Shaariibuu, Mongolian national,- and Teoh Beng Hock, DAP political aide in Selangor.

Free Malaysia Today reported Lim as adding that he would have reopened investigations into the murders if he had been the Prime Minister, hinting at Najib's reluctance to do the same.In response to the DAP veteran, Najib shot back by saying that he welcomes a special investigation team to be set up for renewed probe of the murder cases.

Last week, Najib said he welcomes investigations into the murder cases as it was high time that "justice is served" to him

"It has crossed 10 years, and I have been accused by Pakatan Harapan and their propaganda specialists of being involved in the murders of Altantuya, Morais, and Hussain," the former premier was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini on 6 October."It is now time for justice to be served to me, the victims' families, and to give room to all the Malaysian people who have accused and defamed me to regret what they have hurled (at me)," he added.

[PHOTOS] Fire Destroys Hawker Stalls At Pudu’s Famous 'Wai Sek Kai'

A massive fire broke out early this morning at Pudu's famous Glutton Street ('Wai Sek Kai')

News first began to spread when a now viral Facebook post featured the massive flames and large cloud of smoke encapsulating the street.

The fire is believed to have taken place at about 2.30am this morning

None of the hawker stalls were open at the time and there have been no reported cases of any casualties just yet.

When the hawker stall owners had reached the scene, the fire had already engulfed their stalls

According to a report by China Press, there is still no known cause of the fire but the hawkers speculate that it might've been caused by drug addicts who tend to frequent the area.

Pudu 'Wai Sek Kai' is one of the oldest food streets in KL, having been around for over 60 years

The street is known for their wide array of delicious but cheap street food. Local favourites at 'Wai Sek Kai' include the fried chicken, lok lok and char kueh kak.

A lawyer is now helping the hawkers to relocate and operate in a new place for the time being

Hopefully the iconic food street's legacy won't come to an end just yet.

This incident comes just a week after the raging fire at Pasar Besar Seremban. Read more about it here:

There's A New Board Game Inspired By The 1MDB Scandal

Move aside, Monopoly. There's a new property board game in town and it's inspired by the biggest kleptocracy case handled by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) - the infamous 1MDB scandal.

Image via C4 Center

Aptly named 'Kleptopoly', the board game is the brainchild of Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4), an NGO with plans to fight corruption and promote transparency in the local and federal government.

You won't be using boring wheelbarrows in this game

Image via C4 Center

Kickstart the game by selecting one of many characters, including a puffy-haired lady with expensive handbags. There's also a gentleman decked out in a suit with a stack of cash in his hands.

Players can purchase luxury properties linked to the 1MDB investigation

Image via C4 Center

Some of these properties include the Park Lane Hotel and Park Laurel condominium in New York City, Fleet Street townhouses, mansions in Beverly Hills, and even a superyacht.These properties were named in the DOJ's civil forfeiture suit on 1MDB-linked assets.

Unlike real life, Raja Bomoh actually has the power to save or ruin your life in 'Kleptopoly'

Image via C4 Center

"One of the cards gives you profits from the box office movie Wolf of Wall Street worth 10 million (in Kleptopoly currency) while another is a 'whistleblower' card where you can whistleblow on another player who you suspect has 'corrupt' assets," Aizat Shamsuddin from C4 told Malaysiakini.Don't doubt Raja Bomoh and his coconuts.

Fail to declare your assets and you'll get busted by an anti-corruption agency

Image via C4 Center

You know how you'll be awarded 200 bucks after travelling the board in Monopoly? Screw that, because a 20 million paycheck is definitely sweeter.

Image via C4 Center

This boss is really generous. By the way, that white stache looks kinda familiar...

To win this game, players will need to collect the most properties and also remain the most "clean"

Image via C4 Center

"Our message is that it is nothing wrong to be wealthy, even super-rich, as long as your gains from the wealth is clean and not from misappropriated funds," Aizat added.

If you're interested in getting into the mind of a bespectacled businessman with a taste for the finer things in life, you can pre-order the game on C4's Facebook page

Malaysiakini reported that two versions of the game will be sold - the limited set with hand-sculpted characters will run for RM100, limited to 100 sets. Regular sets with cardboard characters cost RM55.

What do you think of this board game? All in good fun or too sensitive? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Why Early Apple Employees Said They Would Never Work With Steve Jobs Again

If you dig even just a little bit into the history of Apple, you'll learn that former CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs wasn't the easiest person to work with

Image via news.com.au

In fact, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak recently revealed that many early Apple employees said they would never work with Jobs again given the chance, according to a recent interview.

        businessinsider.in

Speaking with Allison Bauter of the Milwaukee Business Journal earlier this week, Wozniak said:

Image via ewanpearson.com

"Steve Jobs had a lot of these questionable things, like some of my very best friends in Apple, the most creative people in Apple who worked on the Macintosh, almost all of them said they would never, ever work for Steve Jobs again. It was that bad. I'm shocked."

        bizjournals.com

Wozniak continued to say that in the earlier days of Apple, Jobs was younger and wasn't as mature, so he would push people to get products out before they were ready to capture mass markets. He said in the interview, "I think he learned a lot from that. He respected people though, who were very, very brilliant."

        indiatimes.com

Not only did Jobs respect very talented engineers, but he also highly regarded those who were brave enough to stand up to him, according to Wozniak

He would directly confront people and almost call them idiots. But you know what? When they confronted him back and told him why they were right in understandable forms, he was just testing and learning... and he would respect those people and give them high privileges in the company.

        businessinsider.in

That was one thing he did respect — someone who believed enough in their own ideas to speak for him, not just shut up and be shy around him.

        bizjournals.com

Wozniak also that the news media misrepresent his relationship with Steve Jobs. Despite their different personalities, "We never had a fight or an argument — we were always friends," he said.

Image via kinja-img.com

The two of them talked on the phone and kept in touch up until the end of Jobs' life. "Near his death, he was calling and talking about the old days, and how much fun it was, and did we ever think it was going to get this far?" Wozniak recalled.

        bizjournals.com

Jobs liked to test people

In his biography of Jobs, Walter Isaacson wrote that the then-Apple CEO would ask job candidates strange and inappropriate questions during interviews. One candidate got so flustered that he left mid-interview.

Viral Cikgu Cedera Dipukul Seorang Bapa Di Sekolah. Katanya Cikgu Yang Mula Tampar Dulu?

Semalam viral dua buah video yang memaparkan kes pergaduhan di sebuah sekolah yang berlaku di antara seorang bapa dan guru sehingga berlaku kecederaan

Video yang menjadi perhatian netizen itu memaparkan seorang bapa serta bapa saudara kepada seorang pelajar sekolah di Brunei dihalang oleh beberapa guru yang lain dari terus menyerang seorang guru lelaki di sekolah.Menurut Borneo, bapa pelajar itu datang ke sekolah kerana tidak berpuas hati dengan guru berkenaan yang telah menyebabkan anaknya dihukum dan digantung persekolahan. Namun, selepas disiasat, rupa-rupanya pelajar itu hanya mereka-reka cerita dan membuat rayuan kepada pihak sekolah supaya membuang kesnya.

Guru lelaki yang dipercayai terlibat.

Tetapi, berdasarkan komen daripada seorang netizen, beliau mengatakan bahawa kehadiran bapa pelajar bersama bapa saudara ke sekolah berkenaan adalah dengan niat untuk berunding dan meminta kepastian berkaitan kes buang sekolah anaknya itu secara baik. Malangnya, guru terbabit telah bertindak secara agresif dengan menampar muka bapa saudaranya itu. "Kes cikgu susah nak dibawa berunding. Bapa kepada pelajar yang dihukum ini hanya mahu meminta kepastian mengapa anaknya dihukum. Malah, dia juga meminta bukti apakah benar anaknya merokok. "Namun cikgu itu menampar muka bapa saudara pelajar terbabit. Maka tercetuslah pergaduhan sehingga terjadi insiden tumbuk menumbuk, menyebabkan cikgu itu cedera, retak tulang pipi," katanya.

Guru lelaki yang kelihatan terbaring selepas berlaku pergelutan.

Seorang lagi netizen, Timotius Jaunis, beliau menjelaskan apa yang berlaku dalam video yang viral semalam. Menurut rakaman video berkenaan, mereka berdua datang dan mahu berbincang dengan cara baik. Namun, guru terbabit mula berkasar dan menampar adiknya lalu bertindak menumbuknya pula. "Dari apa yang saya dengar mereka cakap dalam video viral ini, mereka mahu selesaikan masalah ini dengan cara baik. Tetapi cikgu itu masuk saja dalam pejabat terus berkasar dengan mereka berdua."Yang si adik kepada bapa pelajar itu ditampar oleh cikgu. Yang si bapa ini pula cuba untuk tidak menumbuk tetapi cikgu itu yang mula menumbuk, terus si bapa ini membalasnya," katanya.

Bapa pelajar ditenangkan beberapa orang guru yang lain.

Apa yang difahamkan, kes itu sudahpun diselesaikan dengan cara yang baik dan kedua-dua lelaki yang terlibat juga mengaku bersalah di atas perbuatan mereka. Bagaimanapun, bapa kepada pelajar berkenaan yang bekerja sebagai askar dilaporkan telah diberhentikan serta-merta.Sementara itu, guru lelaki berkenaan dihantar ke hospital bagi mendapatkan rawatan serta dipercayai mengalami pendarahan dalaman pada bahagian perut.

Pedulikan siapa yang memulakan dahulu kerana apa yang penting adalah jangan sesekali memilih kekasaran dalam menyelesaikan apa jua masalah

Sebaiknya ibu bapa dinasihatkan untuk tidak terus percaya bulat-bulat apabila anak membuat aduan. Siasat dan dapatkan kepastian dari pihak sekolah. Guru pula janganlah terlalu beremosi. Masing-masing pun mahukan yang terbaik buat anak serta pelajar mereka.Jadikan iktibar.Video penuh di bawah:

kes bapa tidak puas hati anak kena hukum cikgu .

LGE Pleads Not Guilty After Being Charged With Soliciting Millions In Bribe

Former finance minister Lim Guan Eng has been charged for soliciting a bribe from a company that was awarded the RM6.3 billion Penang undersea tunnel project

After spending a night at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters yesterday, 6 August, Lim was transported to Kuala Lumpur Court Complex this morning, 7 August, to face charges under Section 16 (a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.Lim allegedly requested 10% of profits from Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd, the company that got awarded the multi-billion project, reported New Straits Times.He allegedly solicited the sum from senior executive director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Zulkifli so that the company he represented could be appointed to helm the project.According to Malaysiakini, the crime is said to be committed at a location close to the Gardens Hotel, KL in March 2011.

Lim pleaded not guilty to the charges

KL Sessions Court Judge Azura Alwi preceded the hearing today.The judge said if convicted, Lim could face up to 20 years' jail and fined five times the value of the bribe. Lim was represented by DAP comrades Gobind Singh Deo, Ram Karpal Singh, and RSN Rayer.The prosecuting team was led by Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin, who was assisted by deputy public prosecutor Akram Abu Gharib.Present in the court were Lim's father and DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, former deputy defence Minister Liew Chin Tong, former transport minister Anthony Loke, and other DAP leaders.

Meanwhile, Lim's son has taken to social media to defend his father last night

In a Facebook post with over 13,000 likes and 3,200 shares as of press time, Marcus Lim said he and his family expected this day would come following the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government. "Their plan is simple, to frame and capture those leaders who wouldn't bow down to their dirty scheme," wrote Marcus. "Their motive is clear, to dismantle DAP, ultimately destroying PH. They thrive on dirty politics, making the right wrong, and the wrong right. Unfortunately, this is how politics work here."Writing in three different languages, he said they would definitely fight back.

Animal smugglers have been known to get creative in their attempts like this man who tried to transport a bird in a potato chip can:

Kampung School Teacher Says His Students Have The English Proficiency Of 4-Year-Olds

As we edge closer to our vision of becoming a first world nation that constitutes having world class infrastructures and an advanced society, there is a single, major blunder that is left unaddressed; our education system

Image via The Malaysian Insider

Malaysians are probably a little tired of hearing about how saddening the local education system is. From complains of loopholes in the syllabus, how the system is dividing and all the way to having incompetent teachers running the system. Most Malaysians have gone through 11 years of the public school system and are completely aware of the fact that on the whole, it did very little to help us truly grasp and learn new pieces of information. Instead it was a little over a decade of just memorising bits of information, that are sometimes not even accurate, in order for us to collect the highest number of As from every single test we take in school. Of course, some of us had the luxury of being taught by sincere, passionate teachers that made us what we are today. They were the ones that were interested in educating us, making the best out of the little resources they were given to teach and going the extra mile to ensure that each student in a class truly understood a subject, with no discrimination.

Making matters worse, even after all these years, the education ministry has failed to bridge the widening gap of knowledge between the rural and urban students, leaving us with a single uniform syllabus and students with contrasting level of capabilities

It is understandable that each student has different IQ levels and capacity to understand a subject, but it is the education system's responsibility to ensure that each student is given the best guidance and opportunity to fully explore their potential. The dilemma with our education system is that, it has failed to do that by forsaking the school children in rural areas with very different upbringings and surroundings. Unlike kids in urban areas that have the accessibility to tuition centers, mass media and most often, educated parents to guide them, rural children can only rely on their teachers and what the education system has in store for them. Despite the fact that a great deal of inspiring local students are still making it big and chasing their dreams under really difficult conditions,we can't deny that the education system needs a revamp, one that involves increasing its quality and standards.

Joseph Tan, a secondary school teacher, recently brought to light the worrying standards of students from rural areas that have failed to grasp the local education syllabus due to a lack of proficiency in the English language

Joseph, detailed his disappointing experience of marking the examination papers of his Form 4 students in a rural school, in his Facebook post, dated 15 November, Sunday. His post spoke about how he has spent the whole year teaching his students ways of "cheating the system" to get at least some marks in their tests and exams. "A whole year’s effort, down the drain. I’d taught them again and again, how to simply copy points to get marks and ways to “cheat” the system in an effort to get at least a few marks for a test which is 11 years too advanced for their level," read the post by Joseph.

"They didn’t need to understand what was before them, they just needed to COPY parts of the questions. Then, I felt like an idiot, wasting my time marking papers that were impossible to do for my students," lamented Joseph.

The young school teacher apparently gave his students specific instructions on how to how to score marks in their tests with simple instructions on what to copy in order for them to get at least 20 marks out of  the full 155 marks in a single paper. Eventually he was met with the realisation that his 16-year-old, Form 4 students "barely have the English proficiency of four-year-olds" and that in itself is prove that the questions would be impossible for them to answer. "What a joke, our national education system is," commented Joseph.

Which leads us to the question; Are we studying to learn and expand our knowledge or to just get the highest grade?

"I remembered that when I was their age, I hated sejarah and moral so much and absolutely refused to study for those subjects and even follow the teachers’ tips to get “free marks”. I had given up even trying to do the tests. I had given up on those subjects," recalled Joseph. It usually takes us completing our school years to fully realise the importance of actually learning new things to educate and enlighten our minds instead of merely joining in the rat race that involves memorising facts to collect A's. Without forsaking the importance of paper qualification, it is completely possible to enrich the education system to ensure that school students are taught to fully understand a concept or subject instead of pushing them to basically turn into a photocopy machine that forgets the information the moment they complete their exams.

Eventually, Joseph realised, that the lives and backgrounds of his students is actually the reason behind their lack of interest in the cookie cutter system that harshly judges and demotivates then

"...and then I remembered where my students were coming from. Kampung school, kampung life, virtually NOBODY to practice English with, bad parents, bad teachers, bad school administration, bad childhood education, bad discipline, bad cultural and community influence, poor financial background, divorced parents, and the list goes on...," read the Facebook status. "Being pushed through a system that forced them to do tests which were too hard for them, being scolded for being “stupid”, being labelled as “F”ailures in every exam, sitting in examination halls and sleeping for two and a half hours because the words in front of them don’t make any sense...all for TEN years of schooling."They had given up on education," added John.

Not accepted in schools and losing interest in the system that constantly ignores them, the young students end up turning to mindless, negative activities that leads to some of them even dropping out of schools in the long run

"So they turn to other things to escape from their shitty reality: monkeying around in classes, ponteng (skipping) class, ponteng school, smoking, wandering around aimlessly on their motorbikes without driving licenses, going on “convoys” with their “members”, doing menial low-paying jobs, and some of them, dropping out of school," said Joseph. Despite all these 'activities' that the students get involved in, Joseph thinks that it is still very difficult to point fingers and pin the blame on the students because of the harsh factors that usually drives them to turn out that way. "You can’t COMPLETELY free a child from blame when they have stolen something ESPECIALLY when they KNOW it’s wrong. They KNOW it’s wrong, they KNOW what’s good for them. Why can’t they choose to attend extra classes? Why can’t they do their homework even when it’s easy and doable? Why can’t they just BOTHER and TRY to read the notes that I laboriously typed out, photostatted AND TRANSLATED for them?" added Joseph.

News portal, Malaysiakini, reported that an analysis by the Education Ministry last year, revealed that, 14.5% of students; 68,208 students out of  470,395 that took the paper in 2013, failed their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM)

Image via Malay Mail Online

The article, which talks about the government's plans on finding a solution and addressing the root cause of the reason the students have failed, was written by Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar and published by online news portal, Malaysiakini on 1 April 2014. Nururl Izzah expressed her concerns on what is to happen to the students that have failed their SPM examinations and that the ministry should focus on a more wholesome education system that takes into count that different people excel at different things. Urging the government to set up a special committee to solve this issue, Izzah added that all students must be given the same amount and attention, without ignoring the ones that do not excel in their exams.

How can we help to improve the education system?

Joseph's eye-opening status also spoke about how a failing education system is detrimental to us, as a society and nation and the system is failing the very children that are supposed to   be the movers and shakers of the world. We may think that we survived the system and we are doing fine, so the current and future generation would be fine too, but take a moment and think about this; The reason why we had to find creative ways to educate ourselves and enhance our knowledge on our own,was because the baby boomers back in 70s and 80s neglected to fight for positive changes to be made to the education system. So, the only way we can stop this cruel cycle is by initiating the change ourselves right away.

Joseph has suggested a number of ways for Malaysians to help the young generation make the best out of the education system and improve themselves without losing interest along the way:

1. Donate your time, energy, resources, money (if possible) to funding sites/ organisations/ amazing teachers that are working towards making the education a better experience for their students. Joseph suggested the 100% Project site that helps teachers and educators get funds for their community projects for their students. 2. Be involved in education. Be it the policy making, expressing your thoughts and ideas on ways to improve the system or just helping out the students that need the guidance in person. There are a great deal of volunteer programs that lets you teach and coach underprivileged students. Joseph reminded that we should all stop ranting on social news sites and alone and instead take the initiative to realize changes by writing official letters of  suggestions and complaints to the rights channels. 3. Demand transparency of information related to education system. Find out about the passing marks, quality and standards of examinations, see if they are on par with the rest of the world's education system and Joseph stressed on the importance of acquiring the information needed for you to act accordingly in making good changes. 4. Vote for a better government. Ensure that the people that you are voting for to lead the nation, cares about the education and is serious about providing the best possible platform for the students to grow as fine individuals.  5. Discipline your offspring. Teach them the importance of being educated and what it can do for a person. Make sure they know the downsides of not being interested in studying and completing their education and be an involved parents. Good parenting can make a world of a difference in a child's life.

Joseph's thoughts could be something that we have heard of in the past and some of us may even be going through the failing system right now, but what sets it apart is that, it comes from someone who is out there, struggling to transform lives, on a daily basis

Malaysia Launches World's 1st Index To Track COVID-19 Pandemic Control

On 4 June, Malaysia launched the world's first comprehensive, data-based pandemic response tracker, Global COVID-19 Index (GCI)

It is a publicly available website that processes approximately 3,000 points of data daily from verified open-source databases, such as the the World Bank and the Global Health Security Index, to accurately rank 184 countries based on how well they are coping with the pandemic. The GCI assesses the true severity and recovery progress of countries based on factors including a country's healthcare system and other socio-economic factors.At the time of writing, Malaysia ranked 15th among 184 countries in recovery rates.

Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin hopes that the GCI will help governments around the world make informed decisions about how best to face the pandemic

In his keynote speech, the minister discussed the importance of the GCI in deploying an effective and globally coordinated response. "While there are varying degrees of severity and recovery across the world, no one country has managed to get everything right," he said.With the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) collaborating with local and international experts from Universiti Malaya, Akademi Sains Malaysia, the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, and the World Health Organization (WHO), and referring to global databases, Khairy notes how the GCI could act as a singular yet comprehensive point of reference.

Image via PEMANDU Associates/YouTube

The website contains graphs and lists reflecting recovery and severity rates

It also has colour-coded maps which depict whether a country can safely relax its restrictions based on the WHO's six requirements and calculations made using the collected data.  This, Khairy says, can help guide the actions of governments, universities, and research institutes, as well as the private sector.

Khairy also spoke of the need for greater collaboration across the globe

As part of his opening speech, the minister said, "While we have been focused on saving lives within our respective borders, we now need to reach out and share what each country has learnt so that we can create an internationally crowdsource playbook of best practices in handling the pandemic."This, he adds, is why the GCI was created. "The partnership [between the MOSTI and PEMUDA Associates] will aim to make the GCI a catalyst to enhance international cooperation and research against all pandemics. This is Malaysia's humble commitment to the fight against COVID-19."Following the launch of the GCI, it was announced that MOSTI will also be working on an in-depth qualitative analysis of best practices (of coping with COVID-19) around the world. Khairy hopes this project, called the Global Pathfinder Initiative, will be publicly available with the approval of participating governments.

The minister ended the presentation with an urgent plea

"Apart from sharing the GCI with you tonight, the message that we would like to send is that we need to build a global alliance of international organisations, governments, cooperations, civil society organisations, and individuals, to commit to open science and push for the vaccine to be a global public good that would be made available openly and equitably."

Technology has been integral in the fight against COVID-19. This tracking app is one example:

The app will classify areas into red, yellow, or green zones based on cases reported in your location in the past 28 ...

[PHOTOS] How The Malaysian RM1 Has Changed Over The Years

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

RM1 in Malaysia has seen quite a lot of changes throughout the years

In 1967, Malaysia's (formerly known as Malaya) currency was referred to in dollars and cents (M$).It was only until 1975 when the Malaysian currency was officially renamed as 'ringgit' and 'sen'.

Image via u/leedwye123 (Reddit)

Prior to that, the Malaya and British Borneo dollar was the currency of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, North Borneo, Brunei, and Riau Archipelago.The dollar had the state emblems of the Federation of Malaya and its constituents. It was used in Malaya after independence in 1957, during Malaysia's formation in 1963, as well as in Singapore after its independence.

By 1967, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei ended the currency union and began issuing their own currencies: Malaysian ringgit, Singaporean dollar, and Brunei dollar.

Several years later in 1971, $1 coins were also made. If you were around during this time, you may recall using these for vending machines, supermarket trolleys, and more.

The 'dollar' term on these iconic gold coins was later replaced with 'ringgit' in 1993

They were eventually demonetised in 2005 and withdrawn from the market, partly due to standardisation and forgery. Today, these coins are considered valuable, especially among coin collectors.

Similarly, the RM1 banknotes' currency sign was also altered over time

Tak Dinafikan, Blackpink Adalah K-Pop Girl Group Paling Epik & 'Next Level'. Ini Sebabnya

1. Blackpink adalah satu-satunya 4-member group yang paling berpengaruh selepas 2NE1

2NE1 yang dibarisi oleh Park Bom, CL, Sandara Park, dan Minzy mencuri tumpuan dalam dunia K-pop beberapa tahun lalu dengan muzik tekno dan gaya tarian bertenaga yang menjadikan mereka salah satu kumpulan paling berpengaruh di Korea. Malangnya pada tahun 2016, syarikat naungan 2NE1 iaitu YG Entertainment mengisytiharkan perpisahan mereka yang memberi impak yang sangat besar terhadap peminat-peminat tegar K-pop.

Aksi lincah 2NE1 amat dirindui peminat dan masing-masing menyifatkan bahawa mereka sememangnya tiada galang ganti. Namun pada 8 Ogos 2016, YG Entertainment memperkenal Blackpink kepada dunia dengan melancarkan dua lagu hit 'Boombayah' dan 'Whistle' yang serta-merta meletup! Nama Blackpink terus mendapat perhatian ramai dalam dunia K-pop, malah kumpulan yang dibarisi oleh Rose, Jennie, Jisoo, dan Lisa ini juga dilihat sebagai pengganti paling sempurna buat 2NE1.

2. 'Ddu-Du Ddu-Du' adalah lagu K-pop paling pantas mencecah 650 juta tontonan

Blackpink hanya mengeluarkan satu klip video sahaja pada tahun 2018 berbanding kumpulan lain. Tetapi hebatnya, lagu mereka yang berjudul 'Ddu-Du Ddu-Du' berjaya menjadi lagu terpantas yang mencecah 650 juta tontonan di YouTube dalam sejarah K-pop. Wow!

×

Bukan setakat itu sahaja, lagu 'berhantu' ini turut memecah rekod lain seperti:1. Lagu K-pop paling banyak tontonan selepas sehari dilancarkan - 36.2 juta tontonan2. Lagu K-pop paling banyak tontonan selepas 10 jam, 20 jam, 30 jam, 40 jam, dan 50 jam dilancarkan3. Lagu K-pop paling banyak tontonan sepanjang 2018 - 536 juta tontonan4. Lagu K-pop paling pantas memasuki carta Global Top 50 di SpotifyKalau anda perasan, lagu ini turut menjadi siulan dan amat diminati orang ramai pada masa kini, termasuk mereka yang tidak minat K-pop.

3. Lima klip video Blackpink telah melepasi 300 juta tontonan, paling banyak berbanding mana-mana kumpulan lain

Image via redd.it

Lima klip video Blackpink iaitu 'Boombayah', 'Whistle', 'Playing With Fire', 'As If It's Your Last', dan 'Ddu-Du Ddu-Du' semuanya melepasi 300 juta tontonan di YouTube, satu rekod yang tak pernah dicapai oleh mana-mana kumpulan K-pop selama ini. Hanya klip video 'Stay' sahaja yang masih di bawah 200 juta tontonan.

4. Tiga ahli Blackpink boleh berbahasa Inggeris dengan sangat baik

×

Ahli-ahli tersebut adalah Rose, Jennie, dan Lisa. Jennie selaku visual of the group dibesarkan di New Zealand manakala Rose pula dibesarkan di Australia. Kedua-dua ahli ini boleh bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris dengan sempurna berbekalkan accent dari negara masing-masing.Manakala Lisa, yang berasal dari Thailand turut sama mahir, tetapi Jennie dan Rose adalah dua ahli yang diberi mandat untuk berbahasa Inggeris apabila ditemuramah oleh media antarabangsa. Ini sedikit sebanyak dapat memudahkan Blackpink untuk mendekati para peminat mereka di luar Korea.

5. Mereka mempunyai keunikan suara masing-masing

×

Jujurnya, industri K-pop dipenuhi dengan suara yang kadang kala sukar untuk peminat bezakan kerana suara mereka kedengaran hampir sama. Tetapi berbeza pula dengan Blackpink yang menampilkan keunikan tersendiri dari segi lontaran vokal dalam setiap ahli. Rose selaku vokalis utama mempunyai suara paling merdu, manakala Jisoo suara matang dan unik, Jennie dan Lisa pula kedua-duanya hebat dalam rapping.

6. Jennie

Image via Instagram @jennierubyjane

Wanita ini tidak perlu pengenalan lebih lanjut. Jennie yang turut digelar sebagai 'Korea's It Girl' dan 'YG Princess' pada masa kini mempunyai satu aura yang begitu menonjol dalam industri K-pop yang menjadikannya begitu popular. Para peminat juga suka melihat telatah lucu dan kebudak-budakan Jennie menerusi rancangan aneka ragam seperti Running Man.

×

Selain itu, Jennie turut tampil dengan single berjudul 'Solo' yang dilancarkan pada November 2018. Lagu 'Solo' ini tidak kurang hebatnya apabila berjaya menjadikan Jennie penyanyi wanita Korea pertama yang menembusi iTunes Top 10 di Amerika Syarikat, pada masa yang sama mendahului carta di lebih 40 negara.

×

7. Blackpink hanya ada 9 buah lagu

Fakta ini menunjukkan betapa hebatnya pengaruh Blackpink dalam dunia K-pop. Walaupun hanya melancarkan 9 buah lagu setelah lebih 2 tahun ditubuhkan, Blackpink mampu memecah rekod demi rekod dari masa hingga ke semasa dan terus melakar kejayaan hingga ke persada antarabangsa.

Award-Winning Tropical Garden In Penang Desperately Needs Your Help For It To Stay Open

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

A bio-diverse living museum in Penang is pleading with members of the public for help as its management has run out of funds due to 18 months of uncertainty and spotty income

Speaking in a heartfelt video published on 1 August, managing director of Tropical Spice Garden Katharine Chua said the garden is facing permanent closure as its funds are running dry."Because of COVID, our doors have been open and shut for the last 16 months and our existence is hanging by a thread," said Chua, who is also the owner of the garden."Although we've always prided ourselves on running a sustainable business, one that is environmentally-conscious and places people at its heart, nothing could have prepared us for this challenge.""So, we urgently need the community's support to help keep this garden open for future generations to come."

Chua said the garden, nestled along the northeastern coast of Penang island, opened about 18 years ago and was one of Penang's first eco-tourism attractions

The garden has over 500 species of flora and fauna. It is a place for visitors to camp and learn about the rich flavours and history of Malaysian spices.According to its website, prior to the Movement Control Order (MCO), the natural landscape used to offer guided tours, amenities for camping and barbeque, and meals.It also offered gardening and planting workshops, as well as holding activities for kids and families, performances, and bazaars. "In the early days, people didn't really understand what we were about. Many wondered why they should buy a ticket to see a jungle," Chua related."It was my job back then as a visitor coordinator to explain that it wasn't just a jungle. It's a magical garden where nature meets culture where our guests would rediscover the natural world as they wandered freely through the garden."She added that the garden had won an award from Tourism Malaysia in the past.

Throughout the lockdown period, the garden was only able to open to visitors for four to five months

"Even when we could open, there was a police roadblock on the way to Tropical Spice Garden so no one came due to that," Chua said, reported Malay Mail."We have done what we could to cut down on our overheads, we let go three quarters of our staff last April and we now have a very small team." She said most of the staff in the garden have taken severe pay cuts since last year and are paid below the minimum wage of about RM1,000 each.She and her husband even have to dip into their own personal savings to keep the business afloat.

But the team did not take the challenge lying down. In a bid to keep the lush garden stay open, Chua started a crowdfunding campaign called 'Join the Family, Save the Garden'.

"For as low as RM25/month, the subscription will allow members unlimited entry to the Garden, join monthly activities, events, virtual classes, and workshops (currently ongoing) from anywhere in the world. Members are also entitled to exclusive garden camping passes," Tropical Spice Garden said in a statement made available to SAYS.Chua said the subscription — called 'Spice Fam' — is more than just money, it is the "garden's lifeline to stay open".Members of the public can also make a one-off donation to support the eco-tourism attraction.

Ini 7 Cara Terbaik Simpan Duit Ribuan Ringgit Walau Gaji 'Ciput'. Take Note Semua!

Ramai anak muda zaman sekarang susah untuk menyimpan duit selepas mendapat gaji. Pengurusan kewangan memang langsung tidak tahu dan sentiasa bersikap boros.

Sikap seperti ini amat dikhuatiri kerana wang yang anda dapat hasil dari pekerjaan seharusnya disimpan untuk masa hadapan. Bukannya berbelanja tak ingat dunia.

Image via Google

Jika tiada wang simpanan di usia remaja, pernah terfikir apa yang akan terjadi jika keluarga anda jatuh sakit dan memerlukan wang untuk merawat?Siapa yang akan bantu keluarga ketika itu kalau bukan anda?

Oleh itu, anda boleh gunakan formula di bawah yang disediakan oleh seorang pengguna Facebook iaitu Nur Aliah tentang cara untuk mula menyimpan wang sebanyak ribuan ringgit walaupun gaji 'ciput'

Image via Nur Aliah Mohd Nor / Facebook

Tip 1: Dapat sahaja gaji, terus asingkan untuk simpanan dan baru guna untuk berbelanja

Image via Ebates

Bila anda harus asingkan untuk wang simpanan? Ikuti formula di bawah:10% - Simpanan10% - Takaful10% - Emergency fund70% - BelanjaSimpanan biar 10% atau lebih, jangan sesekali kurangkan. Manakala, jika anda ingin berbelanja pastikan biar maksimum sebanyak 70%. Kalau boleh kurangkan menjadi 50%-60% sebenarnya lebih baik.

Tip 2: Simpan duit di tempat yang susah untuk anda keluarkan

Image via Gfycat

Sebenarnya taktik ini sangat berguna lebih-lebih lagi untuk anda yang jenis boros. Paling baik simpan duit di tempat yang tak boleh guna kad untuk keluarkan duit. Contohnya, Tabung Haji, ASB, dan Emas.Oh ya, bercakap tentang emas pula, adakah anda tahu bahawa orang dulu-dulu tak simpan duit kertas. Namun, mereka simpan kekayaan mereka dalam bentuk harta sebenar macam tanah kebun, emas ataupun rumah-rumah sewa.Sebab menurut orang tua-tua, bila dapat duit, tukar duit ke dalam bentuk harta sebenar seperti emas, tanah dan sebagainya. Sebab semua itu akan membuatkan anda kaya dan juga boleh menjana hasil daripada harta-harta yang ada.“Kalau berkerja, letak matlamat nak kumpul harta. Bukan sekadar cari makan”.

Tip 3: Tambahkan side income atau source of income

Image via Gifer

Zaman millennial sekarang sangat mudah untuk buat duit. Baik yang buat online atau offline. Janji ada ilmu dalam dunia perniagaan supaya tak ketinggalan dek zaman. Mana tidaknya, abang jual burger tepi jalan pun mampu untuk menjana income ribuan ringgit, apatah lagi jika anda menjual barang kosmetik, perfume dan lain-lain.Oleh itu, dari duit bisnes yang anda dapat bolehlah tambahkan simpanan. Apabila bisnes sedang mencanak naik, itu tandanya adalah waktu terbaik untuk simpan lebih banyak duit.

Tip 4: Potong segala jenis kad kredit. Ini merupakan salah satu cara yang paling berkesan.

Image via Giphy

Antara cara lain adalah hentikan serta merta segala penggunaan kad kredit. Lebih-lebih lagi untuk orang yang mempunyai nafsu yang tinggi untuk berbelanja kehendak.Untuk pengetahuan anda, penggunaan kad kredit sebenarnya sedang menggunakan duit masa depan anda. Bahaya. Jadi, berbelanjalah mengikut keperluan bukan kehendak.

Tip 5: Banyakkan bersedekah. Bak kata orang putih, "The more you give, the more you get."

Image via Gifs.com

Seperti biasa, rezeki datang dari Tuhan. Dia juga sudah berjanji bahawa jika satu kali anda bersedekah, 10 kali ganda Allah akan ganti. Jika tengah susah, tengah sakit, tengah sedih, buntu dan sebagainya, jalan yang terbaik adalah bersedekah.Waktu yang terbaik untuk berbuat sedemikian adalah ketika waktu pagi. Boleh mula dengan bersedekah sekurang-kurangnya RM50 sehari.

Tip 6: Banyakkan berzakat

Image via Google

Banyak kepentingan zakat yang mungkin anda masih belum tahu. Antaranya ialah ia mensucikan harta anda. Ini kerana harta adalah ibarat seperti air, selagi mengalir selagi itulah ia bersih. Dengan berzakat, Allah akan membersihkan harta anda dari perkara haram dan shubhah.Jika anda tidak keluar untuk berzakat, semakin bertambah hak orang lain dalam harta anda. Sebab dengan harta yang diperolehi inilah yang akan anda gunakan bagi menampung keluarga yang susah.Jadi jika harta yang diperolehi tidak bersih, adakah apa yang anda dapat diberkati Allah?

Tips 7: Dapat keuntungan, laburkan duit tersebut

Image via W24

Contohnya melabur di pasaran saham. Jika anda masih tidak tahu, ini merupakan 6 tempat yang boleh anda laburkan duit anda iaitu:1 = Tabung Haji2 = Amanah Saham Bumiputera Financing (ASBF)3 = Emas4 = Akaun simpanan tetap (fixed deposit)5 = Unit Trust 6 = SahamSenang sahaja, bukan?

Sedikit nasihat untuk anak-anak muda di luar sana yang masih belum mula menyimpan demi masa hadapan:

Wahai anak muda yang berijazah atau berdiploma, sentiasalah rajin berusaha dalam kerjaya. Dapatkan pekerjaan yang di level bawah dulu. Dengan pengalaman, anda akan meluaskan idea dan juga pemikiran. Dan anda akan tersedar bahawa gaji besar sebenarnya pun lebih mudah diurus jika BERDISIPLIN. Yakin dan percayalah, sedikit demi sedikit menyimpan, lama-lama akan jadi banyak di masa depan!

Jom mula menyimpan wang? ;)

"NO #ValentinesDay" Campaign By Islampos Receives Nasty Backlash On FB. What's Your Take?

In a bid to stop the influence of Western culture, people from the Muslim community in Indonesia have started an online movement against Valentine's Day

Image via Islampos

Organised by Islampos, it's being called "I'm Muslim. NO #ValentinesDay", with the purpose to discourage Muslims from celebrating the day

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

A rough translation of a post written in Malay explains the idea behind rejecting the very Valentine's Day using the hashtag '#ValentinesDay' instead of '#NoValentinesDay'

"Hopefully the hashtag '#ValentinesDay' will be seen by our Muslim brothers and sisters who celebrate Valentine's Day and they will notice and take part in it as they might not with the hashtag '#NoValentinesDay'."

The Islampos Facebook page, which has asked its followers to send their profile pictures with words "I'm a Muslim. NO #ValentinesDay", has been flooded with entries, majority of which are from boys

Image via Islampos

While there are several posts promoting the anti-valentine's day campaign, one post in particular has gone viral, inviting over 41K Likes and thousands of comments

Screengrab of the original post from the page.
Image via Islampos

The post is filled with people in support and in against of the campaign, with a majority of them being too critical and resentful towards the people behind the campaign. While mostly Indonesian, several of the commenters are from Malaysia!

One of the top comments, with maximum number of Likes, is from a Muslim girl who, to put it mildly, couldn't care less about the anti-valentine's day campaign

Image via Islampos

A cursory glance over the comment section reveals that commenters are either insulting people saying NO to Valentine's Day or questioning why they are not going against other more important things that affects their lives

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

A lot of them are also pointing out how no one is forcing anyone to actually celebrate Valentine's Day, calling the campaign a joke and stupid among other insulting things

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

Image via Islampos

However, comments inside the photos posted on the page show Muslims against the campaign are trying to explain this sort of activity is what brings bad name to the religion

While many commenters mocked the posters

Several of them also expressed that even if we do not believe in such occasions we should respect different religion and cultures in order to grow together

Malaysia To Reimpose MCO If Daily COVID-19 Cases Exceed 100 Again

The government will reimplement the Movement Control Order (MCO) if the number of new COVID-19 cases climbs to three digits

"If it reaches three digits, we have no choice but to reintroduce the MCO," said Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob at a press conference after visiting Royal Malaysian Army veterans in Wakaf Mek Zainab, Kelantan on Sunday, 26 July."I understand that if the MCO is enforced again, it will make things difficult for all parties, including those of us who want to work and so on. But this measure must be taken," he said, as quoted by Malay Mail.

Ismail Sabri, who is also the Defence Minister, said there has been a recent rise of COVID-19 cases due to public complacency

"Positive cases have increased four days in a row. The report from the Ministry of Health (MOH) is that cases are increasing due to our complacency," he said."This is because the public has forgotten what needs to be done. We eased the standard operating procedures (SOP) and the number of cases started to rise again."According to New Straits Times, he added that SOPs for Hari Raya Aidiladha will be announced today, 27 July, and that interstate travel is still allowed unless announced to the contrary."What concerns us now is that there might not be social distancing during the slaughtering procedure and the gathering ceremony afterwards during the coming Aidiladha."

Image via Reuters/The Straits Times

Defence Minister Ismail Sabri also reminded the public to heed the SOPs set by the government and to not rely primarily on the country's frontliners

"All of us should be the frontliners and remind our families to follow the SOPs," he stated.Malaysia confirmed 13 new COVID-19 cases yesterday, of which 10 were local transmissions, bringing the country's tally to 8,897.One death was also recorded, raising the death toll to 124 to date.

Kes baharu harian #COVID19 hari ini lebih rendah berbanding semalam. Namun, kes jangkitan tempatan masih tinggi (10 drpd 13 kes). Kerajaan akan perketatkan semula SOP dan pengumuman dibuat esok (Isnin, 27 Julai).
