9 Controversial Things UMNO Leaders Said During Their Latest Assembly

Political analysts predicted that the 2016 UMNO General Assembly will see fiery speeches that are stoked with pro-Malay sentiments

In an exclusive with Malay Mail Online, Ooi Kee Beng, deputy director of ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, said that the UMNO delegates and leader will speak more about pro-Malay issues to diffuse any possibilities of facing political threats from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM). The new party is led by former prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir who was also the longest serving UMNO president and Malaysian PM. When the party was launched in early August, the party members mentioned that non-Malays will only be allowed second-tier membership in the political party. The party's main goal was said to be focused on defending Islam and the Bumiputera community, which is rather in line with UMNO's age-old principles. "This AGM will see a show of anger and affirmation of who Umno’s most threatening enemies are, and also call for punitive action against Mahathir and his followers."Seeing how PPBM can potentially eat into the party’s constituency, there will be a big demonstration by delegates in support of Malay rights as an attempt to distract from the arguments around corruption, the ringgit and the economy," said Ooi to Malay Mail Online in a report on 29 November.

True to his word, there were numerous occasions when UMNO leaders spewed comments that are slanted towards upholding Bumiputera and UMNO supremacy.
Here are nine quotes we found in just two days since the UMNO General Assembly started on 29 November:

The 2016 UMNO General Assembly which involves 5,732 delegates kicked-off on Tuesday, 29 November and will go on for five days.

1. "The time is getting closer to GE14, avoid break-ups as we can prevent political doom, which if it happens, will mean the Malays will be colonised and not able to recover," said Ledang Wanita UMNO head Khairin Nisa' Ismail.

The Wanita UMNO delegate said that when reminding party members that the 14th General Election (GE14) will serve as the "father of all elections" which mustn't be taken lightly or else it may be the end of Malay politics . Bernama reported that she spoke about the importance of the "win" mentality and that the election could cost the future of the UMNO-led government and the Malay race.

2. "Everyone knows the majority stake is held by PNB (Permodalan Nasional Bhd) so why is the CEO and the GM (general manager) in Penang ethnic Chinese?" asked Bagan delegate Hamidah Arshad.

During the annual general assembly at the PWTC yesterday, 30 November, Bagan delegate Hamidah Arshad posed questions on why non-Malays are hired as top-level officers in government-linked companies (GLCs). "I urge the leadership to pay more attention to the appointments in GLCs. For example, developer SP Setia Bhd."What's happening now is that other races are holding top positions and this means contractors, consultants and lawyers appointed are all from their race," added Hamidah, alleging that these GLCs do not appoint Malay contractors, as reported by Malaysiakini yesterday, 30 November.

3. "Is it difficult to give the 30%? We are in power. Just give it to the (Malay) women entreprenuers out there," stressed Pasir Putih Wanita chief Zurina Ripin when asking the government to provide 30% of government contracts for food supply and manufacturing.

The Malay Mail Online reported on 30 November that Pasir Putih Wanita chief Zurina Ripin had asked for the allocation of government contracts on food manufacturing to be given to the women's wing. "We want 30% of government contracts. There are plenty of ministries so what is wrong if we get 30% of the food (supply or manufacturing) contracts," said Zurina, as reported by The Malay Mail. It was also reported that the request has been unanimously passed on the same day.

4. "No other president or prime minister had come to visit those who were sick, or those who had just lost their loved ones, or even attend a mass circumcision ceremony," said UMNO Wanita chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil when praising Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

She also said that having worked with both the former prime ministers, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, she believes that PM Najib Razak is a better prime minister compared to the former two. Free Malaysia Today also reported Sharizat as saying that she "really respected" PM Najib Razak.

5. "If our faith is subverted and if we are split up, we Malays will face destruction," reminded Wanita UMNO chief Sharizat Abdul Jalil.

Sharizat warned that if the Malays are disunited and stray from Islamic beliefs, their community will break up and be destroyed. "If the Malays are no longer united, we will be destroyed," she added.

5. "God, do not let this country, and the fate of this race (Malays) fall into the hands of traitors and the wicked," prayed PM Najib Razak.

Image via The Malay Mail Online

Najib said this during his opening speech at the UMNO general assembly yesterday, 30 November. "Oh great God, we promise to fight to the death until we have spilled our last drop of blood," added Najib, as reported by Malaysiakini today, 1 December.

6. The Chinese community will face severe backlash if they continue shunning Barisan Nasional, warned UMNO Youth vice-chief Khairul Azwan Harun.

He specifically said that if the Chinese people don't accept BN's inclusive spirit, they can expect to lose government allocations, contracts and aid, reported Free Malaysia Today, yesterday, 30 November.Azwan also revealed that if more Bumiputera-based parties win in the next general elections, the government will start focusing more on the interests of the race group that actually contributed to the win.They may even abolish Chinese schools completely. "If they give more to Chinese schools, but more Chinese do not support or vote for us, then it is counterproductive," added Azwan.

7. "We have to remember we are in a time where Allah has put Datuk Seri Najib as our president. It is fate that Allah wanted it that way," said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"I urge all members not just pledge your loyalty through your mouths. The pledge should also be in actions as that is what is wanted by our religion."To make Umno strong forever, loyalty should be practised by all members. No matter what criticism or rumours are thrown towards the party president, it cannot falter, my loyalty to him,"  said the DPM at the opening of the general assemblies on Tuesday, 29 November.

8. "We want to develop Islam. Non-Muslims must understand that this is not about hudud but about empowering the sharia courts," said PM Najib Razak.

After months of skirting around strict Islamic laws like Hudud that PAS has been pushing for, PM Najib finally expressed his support for it, saying that it was the responsibility of Muslims to support the adoption of hudud. "This is my speech as UMNO president, so my main audience are UMNO members and the Malays and bumiputera. It doesn’t mean we don’t care at all about the others, but this is an UMNO assembly," explained the prime minister, as reported by Free Malaysia Today on 29 November.

9. "Should the country fall into the hands of DAP, who champion extreme liberalism and dangerous secularism, surely the special rights and privileges that has been advocated and defended by Umno over the years, including bumiputra institutions such as Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara), Felda, Risda, Felcra and the Bumiputra Agenda Steering Unit (Teraju) will become extinct and disappear," said PM Najib Razak.

Image via Free Malaysia Today

English daily, The Star reported today, 1 December that PM Najib Razak has reminded Malays that Bumiputera rights will be gone if Malaysia is led by a DAP government. "Surely we as Muslims will be worried, hurt and angry, when Islam and its practice will certainly be trivialised if DAP comes into power," added PM Najib at the opening of the 2016 UMNO General Assembly today.

BONUS: Amongst all the Malay driven speeches, an UMNO delegate actually made this constructive suggestion - "Make Mandarin mandatory in all government schools. Why not since the schools already have additional language subjects."

UMNO Pasir Salak chief Datuk Dr Wan Norashikin made this statement when debating on their motion on education. She said that making the Mandarin language a compulsory subject in local school would be beneficial and in line with Malaysia's newly strengthened ties with China. "And in line with the government's success in attracting investment from China. This makes Mandarin important for our success. "We can have a more sophisticated and world class generation students," added Dr Wan.

The 2016 UMNO General Assembly will end on 3 December, Saturday.

[PHOTOS] The Johor Crown Prince Owns The Real 'Crazy Rich Asian' Palace Worth USD3.5B

A palace called Istana Woodneuk — which lies in the heart of one of the most expensive cities in the world — is currently in a dire state.
While dilapidated, the palace, set on the 210,875 square meter plot of land in the former Tyersall Park, is worth a cool USD3.5 billion!

Istana Woodneuk, also known as the Tyersall House.

It is the same palace that inspired writer Kevin Kwan, the author of Crazy Rich Asians, for the creation of the fictitious Young family's sprawling ancestral home, set within Singapore's Tyersall Park

However, in real life, the palace is actually owned by a Malaysian royalty.Specifically, the 34-year-old Crown Prince of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.The palace, built by his ancestors in the late 19th century, was owned by Captain John Dill Ross. In 1860, the palace, which at the time was called Woodneuk House, was sold to Sultan Sir Abu Bakar Ibni Al-Marhum Tun Temenggung Raja Daing Ibrahim, the first modern Sultan of Johor. He renamed the building to Istana Woodneuk.

While the plot owned by the Johor Royal Family was once larger, it has gradually reduced as the Singapore government acquired land to extend the Botanic Gardens, a Unesco World Heritage site

According to a Bloomberg article which first shone the spotlight on the property's price earlier this week, in 1990, the Singapore government bought part of the land for SGD25 million (RM75.3 million) and in 2009 another 98,000 sq metre for an undisclosed sum.Prior to that, in 1925, the palace was burnt down and was rebuilt again in 1935.During World War II, the palace served as a military camp for the British. And in 1948, three years after the war ended, it was returned to the then Sultan of Johor.However, after the Singapore government acquired Tyersall Park in 1990, the palace which previously had a caretaker, was abandoned.

In the Singapore market, the land is worth a whopping USD3.5billion. Making it a goldmine for the Johor Crown Prince.

However, he cannot cash in on it any time soon, even if he wanted to.Because the land cannot be sold as it is reserved for "special use of green space". Meaning, the land is not meant for residential or commercial use.Now, if you're wondering why is the portion of land where the palace sits is worth so much, it has to do with the fact that land is scarce in Singapore."Over the past five decades, land prices have appreciated significantly. This has fueled wealth creation for older generations. Many also aspire to own a landed property as it is a status symbol for the well-heeled," Singapore at Cushman & Wakefield Inc. senior director and head of research Christine Li was quoted as saying by Bloomberg.

Here are some more photos of the palace, which has become a den for drug addicts and thrill seekers, with locals even believing that the palace is haunted. Interestingly, there are no formal entrances.

YouTube Plans To Take On Spotify With Its Own Subscription-Based Music Service

YouTube is developing its own premium subscription on-demand music service

Set to launch later this year, the offering would be mobile-focused and give users the option of listening for free or paying to have unlimited access to the service’s full catalog of tracks.

        bloomberg.com

YouTube already secured most of the licenses it needs to launch a music service earlier this year, beginning with Warner Music Group in March, followed by Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group, Billboard reported.

        billboard.com

Google, YouTube's parent, already offers a subscription service, its Play All Access, with music from the major labels and indies. Premium features would include unlimited streaming without ads, and the ability to cache music for offline periods.

        bizjournals.com

Matt McLernon, a spokesman for YouTube, provided this statement:

“We’re always working on new and better ways for people to enjoy YouTube content across all screens, and on giving partners more opportunities to reach their fans. However, we have nothing to announce at this time.”

        bloomberg.com

Here’s what Billboard is saying:

Both of the free and paid versions allow unlimited access to the music on YouTube, but the difference is whether or not you get ads.

        mobilenapps.com

YouTube is the Web’s most widely-used video site.

It’s also said that if YouTube goes the route of a premium service, it might give the service more flexibility in how it packages the music and potentially help with any licensing fees.

        infoworld.com

Billboard claims that the premium music service could make its debut when YouTube reveals its redesigned mobile app that will give users “a simple, clean interface in which to listen to music, create custom playlists, and watch videos at the same time.”

MOH: Stop Using Your Hand For Temperature Scans. Use Your Head

The Ministry of Health (MOH) is again advising the public not  to use their hands or any body part other than the forehead to scan their temperatures

According to Harian Metro, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that the ministry discouraged people from recording their body temperatures by pointing the 'temperature gun' at the wrist, which he noted many have been doing lately.

Dr Noor Hisham advised against scanning hands and wrists for accurate body temperature readings.
Image via Kisah Dunia

He stressed that the most accurate body temperature readings are obtained from scanning the forehead

"The temperature reading from body parts other than the forehead is doubtful, so in relation to that, the public is advised to stop using their hands or other body parts," he explained.According to Seattle Children's Hospital, a person's clinical body temperature is normally measured at the forehead, ears, mouth, armpit, or rectum.Rectal temperatures are the most accurate but are the most invasive, which is why doctors opt for next best screening area - the temporal artery in the forehead.Arms are not considered in temperature checks as they are the peripheral parts of the body, and extremities would have temperatures that vary depending on environmental conditions.The normal human body temperature varies from 36.5°C to 37.5°C, any temperature higher would be considered a fever.

Image via Xinhuanet

Dr Noor Hisham also assured that there have been no reported side effects of scanning the forehead with infrared light

"We do not deny that many people are worried about side effects if they use the thermometer on their foreheads, but as far as we know, there is no scientific data that states it will cause illness," he said.

Keep practising physical distancing and wash your hands often. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

Hari ini, 23 Mac 2020, Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin mengumumkan ahli KWSP boleh mengeluarkan wang simpanan dari Akaun 2

Image via The Star Online

Penularan wabak Covid-19 yang dilihat semakin kritikal di Malaysia telah memaksa kerajaan untuk membuat Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan bagi mengurangkan risiko ramai lagi individu dijangkiti wabak bahaya ini.Oleh itu, hari ini kerajaan turut mengumumkan di mana setiap ahli Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) yang berumur bawah 55 tahun boleh membuat pengeluaran wang simpanan dalam Akaun 2.Namun begitu, masing-masing tertakluk kepada kadar maksimum RM500 sebulan untuk tempoh selama 12 bulan buat masa kini.

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin juga menjelaskan bahawa kemudahan pengeluaran i-Lestari bagi pencarum KWSP itu berjumlah RM40 billion

Image via Google

“Permohonan boleh dibuat bermula 1 April 2020. Inisiatif ini dijangka akan memanfaatkan sehingga 12 juta ahli KWSP, dengan jumlah pengeluaran yang dianggarkan bernilai RM40 billion. “Saya berharap inisiatif ini dan juga pengurangan kadar caruman KWSP pekerja sebanyak empat peratus yang berkuatkuasa April 2020 akan membolehkan pekerja mempunyai lebih wang dalam poket masing-masing untuk membeli barang-barang keperluan harian. “Nasihat saya kepada anda semua yang akan menerima manfaat ini, gunalah wang ini sebaik mungkin. Beli barang-barang yang perlu sahaja dalam waktu yang agak sukar ini...yang penting, pastikan setiap hari ada makanan di atas meja untuk seisi keluarga,” katanya.

Wang yang dikeluarkan juga boleh digunakan bagi menampung bayaran bil elektrik, sewa rumah dan sebagainya mengikut keperluan setiap individu

Image via blogspot.com

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin menambah walaupun jumlahnya mungkin tidak seberapa, tetapi ia merupakan hasil titik peluh diri sendiri yang sepatutnya digunakan untuk hari tua. Namun, dengan keadaan dunia sekarang, kerajaan membenarkan wang ini untuk digunakan terlebih dahulu lebih-lebih lagi kepada mereka yang begitu memerlukan.

			InsyaAllah, jika wang ini digunakan secara berhemah akan ada keberkatannya untuk saudara dan saudari seisi keluarga.”
        Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin

Ini merupakan beberapa inisiatif diumumkan oleh pihak kerajaan bagi mengurangkan bebanan kewangan rakyat berikutan Covid-19 sehingga menyebabkan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) terpaksa dilaksanakan.

[NEW UPDATE] Syrian Gas Attack: Second Team of Weapons Experts Head For Syria

The world's chemical weapons watchdog has said it will send a second team of inspectors to boost its programme to destroy Syria's stockpile

United Nations vehicles leaving a hotel in Damascus last week.

Ahmet Uzumcu, director-general of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, spoke to the group’s 41-nation Executive Council at the start of a four-day meeting in The Hague.

        thehindu.com

The organisation’s inspectors are in Syria to verify and destroy the country’s estimated 1,000 tons of chemical weapons, in the midst of a two-year civil war.

        bbc.co.uk

Assad's government, fighting a civil war in which more than 100,000 people have died, agreed to destroy the arms after a sarin gas attack on the outskirts of Damascus killed hundreds of people in August.

        in.com

However, human rights groups point out that chemical weapons are only responsible for about 2% of the estimated 100,000 deaths during the two-year conflict, in which armed opposition groups are seeking to topple President Bashar al-Assad.

        bbc.co.uk

The groups warn that disposing of the chemical capabilities will not stop the war.

        india.com

The destruction of Syria's chemical weapons has begun, international monitors have said

Inspectors began the enormous task Sunday of destroying Syria’s stockpile of chemical weapons and the machinery used to create it racing to meet a tight deadline to eliminate President Bashar Assad’s chemical weapons program.

        nytimes.com

Image via boston.com

The disarmament experts arrived in Damascus on Tuesday to carry out their mission under a U.N. Security Council resolution to dismantle and ultimately eliminate Syria’s estimated 1,000-ton arsenal.

        google.com

By the end of the day Sunday, a combination of both weapons and some production equipment would be put out of order, a U.N. official who works alongside the inspectors said.

        google.com

“Today is the first day of the phase of destruction and disabling. Verification will also continue,” the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

        telegraph.co.uk

“The plan was that two types categories of materials would be destroyed: one is equipment for making (weapons) — filling and mixing equipment, some of it mobile, and some it static. The other is actual munitions.”

        bbc.co.uk

Experts begin their complex mission of finding, dismantling and ultimately destroying Syria's Chemical arsenal

An advance group of international inspectors arrived in Syria on Tuesday to begin the ambitious task of overseeing the destruction of President Bashar Assad’s chemical weapons programme.

        arirang.co.kr

Twenty inspectors from a Netherlands-based chemical weapons watchdog crossed into Syria from neighbouring Lebanon on their way to Damascus, to begin their complex mission of finding, dismantling and ultimately destroying an estimated 1,000-tonne chemical arsenal.

        thehindu.com

The experts have about nine months to complete the task, which has been endorsed by a U.N. Security Council resolution that calls for Syria’s chemical stockpile to be eliminated by mid-2014.

        bbc.co.uk

It is the shortest deadline that experts from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons have ever faced in any nation, and their first mission in a country at war.

        irishtimes.com

Experts at The Hague, where the OPCW is based, said on Sunday the inspectors’ priority is to achieve the first milestone of helping Syria scrap its ability to manufacture chemical weapons by a November 1, 2013 deadline, using every means possible.

        firstpost.com

That may include smashing mixing equipment with sledgehammers, blowing up delivery missiles, driving tanks over empty shells or filling them with concrete, and running machines without lubricant so they seize up and become inoperable.

        thehindu.com

UN inspectors say, there is “clear and convincing evidence” that chemical weapons were used in the August 21 attack in Syria

The report provided incriminating new evidence of Syrian government culpability in the Aug. 21 attack, in which banned chemical weapons were used.

        nytimes.com

While the report’s authors did not assign blame for the attack on the outskirts of Damascus, the details it documented included the large size and particular shape of the munitions and the precise direction from which two of them had been fired.

        indianexpress.com

The report was the first independent on-the-ground scientific inquest into the attack, which left hundreds of civilians gassed to death, including children, early on Aug. 21.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has made a direct plea to the American people over the Syria crisis, warning any military action risked escalating the conflict and unleashing further terrorism.

        middle-east-online.com

The Russian leader repeated his claim that last month’s chemical weapons attack was the work of opposition forces rather than the widely held view it was Bashar al-Assad’s regime that was responsible.

Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman says Malaysia is against military intervention in Syria

Malaysia is opposed to any plans by the United States to strike Syria over President Bashar al-Assad’s purported use of chemical weapons against civilians as it will not solve any conflict faced by that strife-torn country.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said there was bound to be collateral damage in any military action, which would end with more casualties. “Malaysia has never been supportive of military intervention in any country.

“Our position is clear; that the world must give the opportunity to all warring factions (in Syria) to sit down for a dialogue to find a solution. “Political solution (is the best). We have seen what had happened in many countries; what happened in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan."

“It (foreign military intervention) has not solved any problem, whatsoever. “We believe the world must let the Syrian people decide the destiny of their country,” he said here yesterday. At the same time, Anifah said Malaysia was against the use of chemical weapons for whatever reasons.

The US president wins crucial support from key Congressional leaders of both Democratic and Republican parties

President Barack Obama won the backing of key figures in the U.S. Congress, including Republicans, in his call for limited U.S. strikes on Syria to punish President Bashar al-Assad for his suspected use of chemical weapons against civilians

        reuters.com

Leaders of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee said they reached an agreement on a draft authorization for the use of military force in Syria, paving the way for a vote by the committee on Wednesday.

        nvonews.com

"What we are envisioning is something limited. It is something proportional. It will degrade Assad's capabilities," Obama said. "At the same time we have a broader strategy that will allow us to upgrade the capabilities of the opposition."

        indiatimes.com

John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor both pledged their support for military action after the meeting. Votes are expected to be held in the Senate and House next week, with the Republican-led House presenting the tougher challenge for Obama.

Saudi Arabia urges UN, world to take 'deterrent' steps on Syria

The final resolution passed by an Arab League meeting in Cairo urged the United Nations and international community to "take the deterrent and necessary measures against the culprits of this crime that the Syrian regime bears responsibility for".

        reuters.com

The League foreign ministers also said those responsible for the attack should face trial, as other "war criminals" have. Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said condemnation of Syria over the poison gas attack was not enough.

        aljazeera.com

"Any opposition to any international action would only encourage Damascus to move forward with committing its crimes and using all weapons of mass destruction," said Faisal.

Barack Obama puts Syria strike on hold, asks US Congress to approve military strike against Syria

President Barack Obama postponed threatened missile strikes against Syria on Saturday in a risky gamble that he can win more support for his plan to punish Bashar al-Assad's regime.

        intoday.in

To general surprise, the US leader broke with decades of precedent to announce that he would seek approval from Congress for action against Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons.

        indiatimes.com

This effectively pushed military action back until at least September 9, when US lawmakers return from their summer recess.

        thehindu.com

Mirroring US policy, France will wait for its parliament to consider possible military action against Syria before President Francois Hollande decides whether to launch strikes, his office said Saturday.

Aid group confirms Syrian ‘toxic gas’ attack, 355 dead says medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres

Image via yimg.com

An aid group has confirmed that a Syrian “toxic gas” attack killed 355 people on Wednesday. The group, Doctors Without Borders, added that three hospitals it supports received about 3,600 patients with “neurotoxic symptoms” in less than three hours.

Opposition estimates for the death toll have ranged from 500 to well over double that number, but, with UN observers unable to visit the site, there has been no independent verification.

        in.com

The confirmation comes as Syrian state media accused rebels of carrying out the attack against government troops. But of those killed, 54 were children, 83 were women, and several others were fighters.

        wjla.com

Death tolls have varied in the aftermath of the attack and there is no way to verify the totals 100 percent. Syrian anti-government activists reported between 322 and 1,300 dead.

Why Is It So Cold Lately? Here’s What The Met Department Has To Say

The current weather in Malaysia is a far cry from last October's scorching heatwaves. It’s so cold that even our prime minister tweeted about it:

Wah sejuk betul cuaca Malaysia hari ini, macam di Jeddah! Alhamdulillah selamat sampai ke tanah air.— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) January 12, 2018

Najib was in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for a five-day working visit.

Our cat-loving PM isn't the only one to notice this sudden shift in weather though

Sejuk gila harini, ada feel macam study kat UK— Adham (@adhamjitu) January 12, 2018

Offices are freezing, umbrella sales are going great, and Malaysians can finally layer up without being asked: "Eh, you not hot ah?"

Explaining the unusually cool weather, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMalaysia) said that the inclement weather is caused by continuous rain in certain parts of Malaysia

Image via Malay Mail Online

"At the moment, the weather is quite cold in the northern part of Peninsular due to heavy rainfall since Thursday, 11 January. The rain is expected to continue until midnight," said METMalaysia director-general Alui Bahari as quoted by Astro Awani.He added that temperatures will return to normal on Friday, 12 January.

Alui said it is not uncommon for the temperature to decrease to 20 degrees Celsius in Malaysia. In fact, there have been occasions where it dropped to 15.7 degrees Celsius.

Apart from rainfall, Alui explained that the northeast wind contributes to weather change in the country as well."Temperatures had dropped to 18 degrees Celsius in Perlis, Kedah, and Kuala Krai a few years ago. It occurred in January and February when the northeast wind is blowing."

It's not just Malaysia that's feeling the chill. Our neighbour across the Causeway has been experiencing heavy rainfall that caused flash floods at certain parts of the city-state.

Image via Channel NewsAsia

According to The Straits Times, flash floods occurred at nine locations in eastern Singapore on Monday, 8 January. Widespread rainfall fell over Singapore that morning, with the heaviest rainfall of 118.8mm recorded at the Kim Chuan Road rain gauge. The flash floods lasted 15 minutes to an hour.

"Bila Berniaga Jangan Kutip Hutang & Jangan Kena Matahari" - Pesanan 'Deep' Untuk Peniaga

Perniagaan adalah sumber rezeki yang sememangnya mudah untuk diperolehi oleh setiap orang. Dengan teknik dan cara yang betul, anda mampu untuk memperolehi rezeki yang banyak dan berkat, lebih-lebih lagi dengan berniaga.

Antara cara yang lebih baik adalah mengikut sunnah Rasulullah ketika berniaga adalah:1. Tidak pernah berdebat iaitu beliau tidak pernah menyakiti hati peniaga lain ketika berniaga.2. Gunakan teknik menjual yang unik iaitu menjual barangan dengan harga yang tidak terlalu tinggi supaya pembeli tidak merasa seperti ditipu dan berpuas hati.3. Sentiasa senyum ketika berniaga kerana ianya merupakan daya penarik. Walaupun tutur kata tidak seberapa, namun pelanggan tetap menggemari peniaga yang berwajah manis.4. Selain itu, jujur juga adalah perlu. Kejujuran sangat ditekankan dalam perniagaan kerana ianya merupakan elemen penting.5. Berniaga bukan hanya mengejar harta semata-mata, malah untuk mencari penghidupan yang halal. Selain itu, bagi mengukuhkan potensi untuk orang kaya tampil kehadapan dan menghulur modal bagi tujuan perniagaan yang lebih baik.

Image via Google

Ada hadis sahih riwayat Abu Daud di mana Rasulullah ditanya mengapa tidak ditetapkan keuntungan maksimum (kawal kadar keuntungan)? Lantas Rasulullah menyatakan, itu adalah satu ‘kezaliman’ untuk para peniaga.Dengan contoh itu telah terbukti bahawa tidak mengapa untuk peniaga menaikkan keuntungan sesuatu jualan sehingga 100%. Cuma dilarang menyorokkan barangan keperluan asasi manusia ketika permintaan mendadak dan menjualnya kembali ketika harga dinaikkan.

Seorang pengguna Twitter telah berkongsi satu nasihat yang sangat mendalam untuk peniaga di luar sana iaitu:
Bila berniaga, jangan kutip hutang dan jangan kena matahari.
Mengapa? Baca penuh di bawah:

Hassan Al Basri merupakan seorang ulama dan ahli perniagaan. Beliau memiliki dua anak lelaki. Sebelum beliau meninggal dunia, beliau telah memanggil kedua anak lelakinya, lalu berpesan:"Bila ayah telah tiada lagi di dunia ini, kamu berdua hendaklah meneruskan perniagaan ayah. Cuma ada 2 perkara ayah ingin kamu lakukan, iaitu:1. Bila kamu berniaga, jangan kutip hutang.2. Bila kamu berniaga, jangan kena matahari.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Utusan Malaysia Online

Selepas menasihati kedua-dua anak lelakinya, Hassan Al Basri kemudiannya mengakhiri hayatnya dan meninggal dunia.
Satu perkara telah berlaku kepada kedua-dua anaknya...

Masa telah berlalu dan selang beberapa tahun, perniagaan si adik semakin merosot dan terus merosot. Manakala perniagaan si abang semakin maju dan maju.Satu hari si Ibu (balu Hassan Al Basri) memanggil anaknya si adik. Lalu bertanya:Si ibu: "Wahai adik, kenapa perniagaanmu semakin hari semakin merosot?"Jawab si adik: "Saya ikut pesanan ayah.*Si ibu: "Apakah pesanan ayahmu?"Jawab si adik: "Ayah berpesan, KALAU BERNIAGA JANGAN KUTIP HUTANG. Jadi, semua yang berhutang dengan saya, saya tak pernah minta bayaran. Kalau mereka nak bayar, mereka bayar. Kalau mereka tak bayar, saya tak kan kutip bayaran. Pesan ayah lagi, "KALAU BERNIAGA JANGAN KENA MATAHARI.""Kemana sahaja saya berniaga, mesti bawa payung. Jadi semua perniagaan itu tidak kena matahari sebagaimana pesan ayah."

Manakala perniagaan si abang pula semakin maju.
Apa rahsianya?

Kemudian, si ibu pergi berjumpa dengan si abang pula, lalu bertanya:Si ibu: "Wahai abang, ibu lihat perniagaanmu semakin hari semakin maju, apa yang kamu lakukan?"Jawab si abang: "Saya ikut pesan ayah.Si ibu: "Apa pesanan ayahmu?"Jawab si abang: "Ayah pesan, KALAU BERNIAGA JANGAN KUTIP HUTANG. Jadi , semua saya JUAL TUNAI. Maka, tidak ada orang berhutang dengan saya. Saya ikut pesan ayah, saya tak perlu kutip hutang. Semua bayar tunai yang sah."Kedua, ayah berpesan, "KALAU BERNIAGA JANGAN KENA MATAHARI." Jadi saya keluar ke kedai waktu subuh. Lepas solat subuh, saya tidak tidur, terus ke kedai. Malam baru saya pulang ke rumah. Jadi, saya tak kena matahari."

Pengajaran yang dapat diperoleh dari kisah di atas adalah perbezaan mentafsir sesuatu perkara itu akan menjadikan titik arah hidup yang berbeza untuk setiap individu

Kalau kita kata ibadah itu hanyalah di tikar sembahyang semata-mata, nanti kita akan meninggalkan kewajipan mencari nafkah terhadap keluarga, kewajipan terhadap negara dan ummah keseluruhannya.Jadi, belajarlah dari ramai guru, banyak membaca untuk tambahkan ilmu, minta اللّٰه سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى beri petunjuk, mohon اللّٰه سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى bimbing kehidupan kita, semoga اللّٰه memberikan taufik dan hidayah.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via The Vocket

Mudah-mudahan, dengan kefahaman yang betul, kita di muliakan oleh اللّٰه di dunia dan di akhirat. Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم pernah bersabda; “Siapa yang اللّٰه سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى mahukan kebaikan bagi dirinya, akan difahamkan padanya agama dengan sebenar-benar kefahaman.”

Teacher From Sabah Becomes First Malaysian To Win 2022 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards

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

A teacher from the Keningau Vocational College in the rural area of Sabah has become the first Malaysian to win a prestigious global educator award for offering his students international experience

Khalifa Affnan was named the global winner of the 2022 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards after he received the most number of votes out of 7,000 nominations from 112 countries, 60 shortlisted entries, and 6 regional winners for helping increase the active participation of female students and special needs learners in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities.According to Cambridge University Press Education, Khalifa has been teaching for over 10 years at the Keningau Vocational College, where he has successfully pioneered several STEM programmes.The award is in recognition of Khalifa's achievement in initiating a STEM project where he trains students in robotics, drones, coding, and other technology-based disciplines.Prior to the global award, Khalifa was also picked as the winner of Australia, New Zealand, and the Southeast Asia region's 2022 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards in April.

"Introduced the world to his students"

The Cambridge University Press Education said that while the school where Khalifa teaches is located in the rural area of the island state, he managed to offer the students an international experience.He set up a cultural exchange programme between the school with South Korean educational institutions."The ongoing programme started in 2017 has allowed his students to host students from South Korean schools and visited the country on a field trip," it said, adding that many of his students have gained international attention during the recent Korean Robotics tournament and British STEM summit.Meanwhile, Cambridge University Press Education director for ASEAN Kanjna Paranthaman said that Khalifa's win was a momentous milestone for Malaysian teachers."It gives me great pride to see a teacher from Malaysia winning the Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards on both global and regional levels. This is a momentous milestone for teachers in Malaysia and speaks volumes about the quality of teachers we have in the country," she said, adding that his STEM programmes have had a great impact on ensuring everyone in the community has access to quality education."Hopefully, Khalifa’s achievement will inspire our teachers, equipping us with dedicated individuals to guide the younger generation to come."Khalifa will receive class sets of books and digital resources of choice by Cambridge University Press, as well as a professional development package. He will also be featured on the front of every new Cambridge University Press Education textbook from February 2023 onwards.

Khalifa said that this recognition will motivate him to drive forward

"My late grandfather, who was a language teacher, greatly inspired me to follow in his footsteps. Like many teachers before me, I, too, have faced many challenges throughout my journey but with resilience and creativity, I am happy to say that I will continue to do what I do thanks to the satisfaction of seeing my students develop new skills and benefit from the STEM programmes," he said.Speaking on his achievements, Khalifa said that he became passionate about STEM education after he participated in a previous teacher exchange program."The experience broadened my mind about the world of technology and opened up my eyes to the mechanics behind drones, robotics, coding and many more. This fuelled my passion for teaching ICT-based subjects, on top of the language-based subjects that I already teach," he added.

GEMPAR! Gambar Anak Harith Iskander Dan Ramai Artis Lain Disebar Di Laman Web Lucah

Semalam pelakon dan pelawak Harith Iskander memuat naik status di laman Facebook beliau berikutan penemuan gambar anaknya di sebuah laman web lucah

Difahamkan, gambar anak sulungnya itu dimuat naik dalam artikel bertajuk 'Gambar Terbaru anak Harith Iskander'. "Memang ada gambar saya mendukung anak lelaki saya. Di sebelah gambar bayi itu adalah gambar wanita bogel," kata Harith, yang merasa jijik dengan perkara itu di dalam laman Facebook beliau.

Menurut Harith, dia mendapat tahu tentang perkara itu setelah mendapat notifikasi dari Google Alert menerusi emailnya

Harith yakin laman web itu adalah laman web yang tidak bermoral kerana terdapat perkataan 'porn' dan 'sex' di dalamnya.

Susulan penemuan itu, Harith telah membuat laporan polis dan Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) dalam usaha menutup laman web tersebut

Tidak dapat dipastikan samada laman web itu milik rakyat Malaysia atau sebaliknya, kerana terdapat campuran bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris di dalam isi kandungan laman web tersebut.

Dari hasil carian kami, laman web tersebut bukan hanya menyalahgunakan gambar anak Harith Iskander, tetapi Erra Fazira, Tomok dan ramai anak-anak selebriti Malaysia yang lain turut sama jadi mangsa

Kami mendapati terdapat dua kemungkinan tujuan penggunaan gambar kanak-kanak selebriti Malaysia dalam laman web lucah itu

			1. Gambar kanak-kanak ini dimuatnaik mungkin untuk mendapatkan trafik semata-mata. Selain dari gambar kanak-kanak, gambar jari yang comel dan gambar hamster turut dimuat naik. Mungkin ini strategi mereka untuk dapat lebih banyak pengunjung. Ye lah, siapa yang tak suka gambar kanak-kanak atau haiwan comel?

Gambar ini diperolehi dari laman web lucah tersebut

			2. Ia sebuah laman web pedofilia, oleh sebab itu gambar kanak-kanak dimuat naik di dalamnya.

PDRM Arrests Anti-Vax Couple Who Bragged About Dining In Without A Vaccine Certificate

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Editor's note: This story has been updated with the Royal Malaysia Police's statement.

Netizens are calling out a woman for allegedly breaking National Recovery Plan (NRP) standard operating procedures (SOPs) and for showing it off on Facebook

The Facebook post went viral on Monday, 23 August, where the user shared that she and her husband have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 but were able to dine in and visit a barbershop.According to the post, the woman called their outings "social experiments" to see if business owners would actually ask to see their vaccine certificates and turn them away."The last couple of days, after the news told us that people who have completed two vaccines doses can go around, I did my own social experiments," she shared."People who are not satisfied with antivaxxers always say that those without two doses should just waste away at home. So I just wanted to test this out. I didn't go to roadside stalls, I went to 7-Eleven, 99 Speedmart, and Pizza Hut," she said."I went into every store and not one premise checked to see if I've received two doses. Nobody asked me. Alhamdulillah, Allah made it easy for me."According to the SOPs, the digital vaccine certificate is only needed at restaurants and a few other economic sectors, but not when entering convenience stores or marts.

Image via Viral Semasa (Facebook)

She also wrote about how her husband was turned away by two barbershops but still managed to get a haircut without being vaccinated

"My husband also did his own social experiment, he went to a barber to get a haircut but was chased away. The two barbers he went to knew he didn't have two doses. My poor hubby," the woman wrote."At last, there was one barber who didn't ask him any questions – he walked in, got his hair cut, settled."She added, "Those barbers who chase people away don't need the money, they are definitely rich enough. The barber who didn't ask questions is the one really trying to make a living. So after this, we will only support barbers who want to earn money."

With more courage, the couple then brought their children out for a family cycling day and sat in for a meal at a crowded restaurant

"We saw many people dining in there. So we walked in with confident faces, like we've gotten three doses, and we sat down and ate. Not a single person asked us or checked," she shared."Who said you need two vaccine doses to dine in? Even without two doses, we dined in safely this morning. Nothing is impossible."

Image via Viral Semasa (Facebook)

The original post and the user's Facebook account has since been deleted and turned private

However, it was not before netizens took screenshots of the concerning confession and found out the family is from Klang, Selangor.The screenshots have since circulated across social media, with many other netizens getting angered by the couple for their irresponsible behaviours and for endangering the lives of others."I pity the children, they got stupid parents," said a Facebook user.

Image via Facebook

Tagging the police and the Ministry of Health (MOH), another said, "Please pick up these people who like to experiment. They are putting other people at risk.""They are already not contributing to herd immunity, but are also out to endanger others. These people should just quietly sit at home. She's not just proud, she's showing off."

Image via Facebook

Meawhile, someone else on Twitter criticised, "She's so arrogant. She's already wrong, but went on to expose herself. Thick!"

Image via Twitter

According to a statement today, 24 August, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have arrested the couple

Comic Book Store Owner Covers Sexy Dolls With Pieces Of Paper So He Won't Be Raided

Earlier last month, the Home Ministry seized more than RM14,000 worth of obscene materials during a raid in a shopping mall in PJ

Image via Michelle Tam / The Star Online

Items confiscated by Home Ministry officials include a variety of sex dolls; shirts, books, and posters with pornographic materials; as well as weed-themed merchandise. Publication and distribution of obscene materials are forbidden under the Printing Presses Publications Act 1984 and anyone convicted of doing so could be fined up to RM20,000 and/or jailed up to three years.

Following the raid, rumours that authorities will seize figurines with inappropriate costumes began to circulate. In fact, a shop owner had taken extra precaution to avoid having his stuff confiscated by the authorities.
Wong Khai Hoong, who owns a comic book store in Mid Valley Megamall, have covered up the cleavage area of some scantily-clad female figurines with pieces of paper after hearing of those rumours

Image via Chai Jian Mei / Malaysiakini

“I will leave them (the female figurines) like that until the rumours blow over [...] then I will take (the pieces of paper) off,” said Wong.

        malaysiakini.com

Image via Chai Jian Mei / Malaysiakini

Wong is of the opinion that the figurines are not capable of corrupting young minds, as they are not meant for kids. He also added that he is taking extra precaution to protect his "personal collection" of collectibles.

Image via Chai Jian Mei / Malaysiakini

"When I had an exhibition at the ground floor (of Mid Valley Megamall), they (the authorities) said Wonder Woman’s panty line was too exposed. I said: ‘My grandmother’s panty (line) looks like that, too.’"Speaking about the raid last month, he said that he does not "see the point of all that". "These figurines are not for kids. It’s not corrupting the children’s mind. They see more of it on TV and the Internet. For me, it’s art […] they are all my personal collection. If they (the authorities) come and confiscate, I’ll be in deep pain,” he explained.

        malaysiakini.com

However, other stores that are also selling similar figurines have no plans to do the same. Echoing Wong's sentiment, they don't think that there is anything wrong with the female superhero figurines.

Image via Robotica Toys's Facebook

Robotica Toys outlet manager, who only wants to be known as MC, said he was aware of the recent raid. “But as you can see, we are selling Marvel characters - like Mary Jane from the movie ‘Spiderman’, her costume is like that. For me, I don’t see anything wrong in the female figurines. If they come after us, I really don’t know what to say,” MC said, who manages the outlet in Ampcorp Mall, Petaling Jaya.

Fans of Japanese pop culture a.k.a. Otaku pointed out it is completely understandable as to why the "obscene" dolls are portrayed as they are - to appeal to Otaku fans

Image via Shuji Kajiyama  /  AP

“I am Muslim and I know why the authorities made such a decision. But at the same time, I am an Otaku (a Japanese pop culture fan), I understand why they are portraying the dolls like that - to attract fans,” a salesperson at another specialty toy store, who only wants to be known as Nabil said.He further added that he would be helpless if there was a raid on his store.
