We Got To Unbox The All-New Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. Here's Our First Impression

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

I recently got a hands-on experience with the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, and here are my initial thoughts on the device

First of all, the device runs on Android 13 and One UI 5.1. According to Samsung, the Galaxy A54 5G will get four years of Android support and five years of security updates.For my personal experience, running the phone has been smooth so far. With apps loading almost instantaneously. This is also thanks to the Exynos 1380 mobile processor powering the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G that enables fast-app loads and multitasking.I got the 256GB storage + 8GB RAM version, but there's also one with a 128GB storage version that's slightly cheaper.

Design-wise, the Galaxy A54 5G sports an aesthetic back with a glossy finish, but is prone to fingerprint marks if you're not using a case

The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G comes in White, Lime, and Violet. From the front, the screen sports a Gorilla Glass 5 shield and Super AMOLED full HD+ display which supports 120Hz refresh rate for better browsing, viewing, and gaming.

The camera is able to produce crisp and clear shots in well-lit environments

Pictures on the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G are clear and vibrant in good lighting, with subjects popping distinctly. The smartphone features a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and 5MP depth sensor.Here's a raw, unedited picture I took of my garden with the 50MP main camera:

And here's a close-up picture using the 5MP depth sensor:

Although this picture was taken in a slightly low-light environment, the subject (the clock) still appears detailed and clear.

The wide angle shot is decent, with the colours of the leaves on the plant really popping.

All in all, my early impressions of the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G are positive — but I've yet to try out all of the features like Samsung's signature Nightography, so keep a lookout for that in our upcoming full review!

You can now purchase the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G from Samsung's official website and Samsung authorised retailers.


Malaysia Ranks 2nd In Asia For Cyberbullying Among Youth

According to a global survey, Malaysia is among the world's top countries where parents have reported their children experiencing cyberbullies

In an article published recently by tech review site Comparitech, Malaysia ranked sixth among 28 countries in a survey on cyberbullying around the world.When compared to only Asian countries, Malaysia ranked second, behind India, which was placed first on the list.The survey was conducted by Ipsos - an international market research company - and it involved 20,793 respondents worldwide in 2018.

The survey shows that 23% of Malaysian parents said their children encountered cyberbullies

7% of the respondents reported that their children faced cyberbullies on a regular basis, 8% 'Sometimes', while another 8% 'Yes, once or twice'. Based on the results, nearly one out of five children around the world faced some sort of attack online.

Ipsos' results are similar to a report by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which stated that three out of 10 young Malaysians - or more specifically 28% - have been a victim of cyberbullies in the country.

Commenting on the results, Women's Centre for Change (WCC) said cyberbullying cases often go unreported with victims putting up with the derogatory comments

The non-governmental organisation (NGO) said it is because they do not wish to be embroiled in lengthy legal processes to seek redress, reported theSundaily."It is important that the victim acts on it, regardless of who they are," said WCC programme director Karen Lai.According to Lai, victims should report it to the police or the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) otherwise the perpetrators will think that their actions are acceptable."Most people think they can get away with it," she said, adding that the Internet is not a space where people can be excused for leaving derogatory remarks.Lai cited a few examples of cyberbullies in Malaysia, including a teen who died by suicide after being bullied over her TikTok videos.

Meanwhile, psychologist Dr Fauziah Mohd Sa'ad said many people see cyberbullies as 'not a big deal' that warrants police involvement

"These keyboard warriors are often narcissistic, selfish, angry, or cowardly in real life," she told theSundaily.

			They don't care about the impact their actions have on their victims.
        Dr Fauziah

"This risk to Internet users is like a 'silent epidemic' across the country. They have become quite rampant."Dr Fauziah advised victims to always seek emotional support from family and friends. They are also encouraged to go to a professional counsellor.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

From Self-Harm To Hormonal Acne: Malaysians Reveal Their Scars & The Stories Behind Them

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.Disclaimer: This story contains mentions of self-harm and bullying that may be distressing to some readers. Some names have been changed for privacy purposes.

In the current era of filters and Photoshop, beauty lies less in the eye of the beholder and appears to depend more on what society says it is. Scars are oftentimes not deemed conventionally "beautiful".

We all have scars. Scars we've grown to embrace, and scars that we'd prefer to hide. Whether through acne, a skin condition, an accident, or a rough season in our lives, our scars are signs of hurt, healing, and in some cases, growth.

We asked four young adults to share the story behind the prominent scars they have or had, how they felt about it, how society made them feel about it, and ultimately, how it made them who they are today.
Here's what they said:

SAYS: Tell us a little bit about yourself

Wai Yi: I'm Wai Yi and I'm a fresh graduate who majored in Public Relations and Marketing. You can find me either at a spin class, spending time with my loved ones at a café drinking artisanal coffee, or at a tattoo parlour getting my next piece.Lei: Hey, it's Lei here! I'm a recent graduate, I love art, and my bedtime routine involves scrolling food reels on Instagram until I'm ready to drift off to sleep. I believe in self-love and embracing your unique beauty, so you do you, love!Monica: At this point of my life, I'm a pretty optimistic person and will try to look at the brighter side of things. I tend to pick up many hobbies but only manage to do them halfway through. I like to read, watch anime, daydream, and spend time with my loved ones. Jun: Hello, I'm Jun. I'm 25 years old and am currently living in Sarawak, working under a family business.

SAYS: What's the story behind your scars?

Wai Yi: I started developing scars at the age of six due to my sensitive skin. I was an active kid who loved to go to the park to play, and of course, with my blood type being O, I attracted lots of mosquitoes. I never really took any precautions in preventing the bites. The fact that I was an athlete during primary school didn't help. Ultimately, the itchiness would get the best of me, and I would pick at my scabs. Plus, I didn't do any after-care on the wounds, and over time, all of them turned to scars.Lei: The story behind my scars is, puberty and hormones! Puberty that hit a bit too late. I started getting terrible acne inflammation and breakouts only in university. It was gradual, I thought it would go away or it was a time-of-the-month thing, but after a year of trying different products, I realised, 'Oh, this might be here to stay'. It was frustrating because no matter how much water I drank, how much I slept, how frequently I exercised, it was still there, if not getting worse. I washed, toned, moisturised, and applied serum, but little worked.Monica: They're self-harm scars. I used to be bullied quite a bit when I was in primary school, all the way up to high school. The bullying got worse in high school and that's when I started self-harming. Personally, the self-harm acted like a sense of release. It was also a way to kind of justify my feelings inside and match them on the outside.Jun: I'll be talking about my previous acne scars because today, my face no longer has as many scars as before. Previously, my scars appeared due to me excessively squeezing my pimples and through the first few facial sessions. It was also due to products that were not suitable for my skin, which led to my scars not healing.

SAYS: Are you insecure about your scars?

Wai Yi: I used to be, but now, I would say I'm more uncomfortable when people address my scars. Back when I was insecure about them, I was really young and unaware of my worth as an individual. People around me would always make negative comments or even make fun of them, which really got to me. I felt super out of place and it got pretty dark. What helped me change my perspective was shifting my circle of friends, and finding a more appreciative, like-minded community that influenced my view on my worth. Now, I embrace all my scars.Lei: I am only human, so of course I was insecure. Although I knew that it was not a complete representation of who I am, it was still frustrating to have people point out how bad it was. Whenever someone brought it up, it felt as if my physical appearance was the only noteworthy aspect of my identity. It felt as though it was my entire being.Monica: I was, but not anymore! I did get tattoos over some of them, but I'm definitely not insecure about them.Jun: I was quite insecure about my scars because they were on my face, mainly my cheek area. It always led to conversations sounding like, 'What happened to your face?', 'You must not wash your face properly', 'Have you tried using a face mask? You should try this brand'. I know they may mean well and are looking out for me, but it would lead me to wonder if my scars were actually as bad as everyone made them out to be.

SAYS: If you had the chance to remove your scars, would you?

Wai Yi: Honestly, no, I wouldn't remove my scars. Although I do have mixed feelings whenever people make statements on my skin, it does not make me feel self-conscious. As mentioned, it's part of my identity and presumably what most people associate me with. I like to make jokes about it actually, I call it my leopard skin and it gives me an edge. Also, my tattoos are somewhat doing the job by covering some, hehe.Monica: Maybe some of them, but I probably wouldn't. I'm proud of my scars, despite having tattoos over some of them. My scars are a part of me and what I went through, and I don't think I want to forget that. They're like a pretty part of me, in a dark twisted way, haha.Jun: To be honest, if I were given the chance back then, the answer is yes, I would have removed my scars. Fortunately, scars are temporary and they will fade away eventually. Last year, I switched specialists and products often until I found the right one.

SAYS: What do your scars represent to you?

Wai Yi: They represent my imperfections and authenticity. It's a super unconventional thought, but why remove a part of yourself that has been on you for so long just to serve society's beauty ideals? I was once uncomfortable and wanted to do whatever I could to fit in, but that was coming from a lack of understanding of myself and my need of validation from others. Over time, I've grown to love my scars because they make me feel like I'm human and that I'm real. I'm not trying to, excuse my French, bullsh*t people and satisfy the belief that "I would look better if I didn't have them". Lei: For me, it reminds me that my identity is not solely defined by my physical appearance. Who I am is a culmination of my character, my life experiences, my relationships, and my overall being. Though my acne may have been the first thing people noticed about me, it's not what truly leaves a lasting impression. What matters more to me is my character and how I live my life, as that makes up a greater proportion of my identity.

SAYS: Do you think it's something you can be proud of?

Wai Yi: YES, YES, YES. I mean, I do have moments where I get self-conscious, but I'd remember that leopard skin is pretty cool and one-of-a-kind.Lei: I think I can say that I am proud of it not because I was comfortable with having a face full of acne, but because it reminds me that I am more than just my physical appearance. It has shown that even though insecurities creep in (by the way, that is so okay), I have it in me to acknowledge my flaws without obsessing over them, moving beyond my insecurities. Jun: For me personally, although I want to be proud of them, I still feel insecure about them at the end of the day. So no, I don’t think it's something I'd ever be proud of.

SAYS: What advice would you give to those who are insecure because of their scars?

Lei: It's perfectly normal to feel insecure, it doesn't diminish your worth as an individual. But, you also have the capacity to conquer those feelings and acknowledge them without granting them too much power. Remember that your true value extends far beyond your outward appearance, and there are countless other facets of your personality that will definitely overshadow any scars or blemishes.Monica: I would say it takes time to feel okay with them, but, it's definitely worth trying to be. Your scars and imperfections make you who you are, so be proud of them!Jun: I'm not good at giving any advice, but if I had to, I would say take your time in embracing your scars. Of course, everyone would be insecure about them at first, but it all takes time. There will also be people who have never and will never be able to embrace their scars, like me. And to those people I would tell them, scars will heal eventually, it'll take a long time, but they'll heal.

"Zombie Ka Itu?" - Netizen Gerun Lihat Model Baju Ini Macam Baru Bangkit Dari Alam Barzakh

Mustahil ada yang tidak kenal atau tidak pernah dengar filem Hantu Kak Limah arahan Mamat Khalid

Filem Hantu Kak Limah adalah antara filem Malaysia yang tidak perlu dipromosikan lagi namun tetap menjadi pilihan mereka yang ingin menonton filem-filem tempatan secara santai dan mahukan genre komedi-seram.

Image via Reel Good

Meskipun filem pertama ditayangkan pada tahun 2010 dan sekuelnya pula pada 2018, namun rata-rata mengakui kehebatan watak ‘Hantu Kak Limah’ memberi impak dan penangan yang hebat kepada penonton sehingga ia masih segar dalam ingatan, bahkan terus menjadi bualan ramai sehingga ke hari ini.

Baru-baru ini, tular satu siri gambar memaparkan dua orang model yang ternyata telah berjaya menarik perhatian orang ramai.
Manakan tidak, kedua-dua model itu kelihatan macam mayat hidup!

Gambar-gambar yang dimuat naik pengguna Twitter @Staylowkey_v itu menunjukkan seorang lelaki dan seorang wanita memperagakan pakaian dalam keadaan seolah-olah mereka sedang tidur.

Muka mereka juga sangat pucat, maka tidak hairanlah pengguna laman sosial itu siap menyamakan model-model itu seperti berasal dari alam barzakh iaitu tempat sementara bagi roh yang telah meninggal dunia sebelum memasuki alam akhirat.

Sebenarnya, buat yang tidak tahu, baju-baju yang diperagakan itu adalah keluaran Labo. Bukan itu sahaja, difahamkan konsep pakaian tersebut juga diilhamkan daripada filem Hantu Kak Limah.

Labo merupakan jenama pakaian Malaysia yang ditubuhkan semenjak tahun 2017 lagi. Jenama itu juga sangat terkenal dengan pakaian tradisional Melayu serta mempunyai pelbagai warna, sesuai untuk lelaki dan wanita.

Image via Twitter @staylowkey_v

Menurut model wanita yang dikenali sebagai Aisyah Rosli itu, dia sendiri tidak menyangka gambar-gambar itu akan viral. Meskipun begitu, gadis itu berkata dia hanya akan mengambil komen dengan positif kerana setiap orang mempunyai perspektif mereka sendiri."Secara keseluruhan, titik utama foto adalah menjual pakaian, bukan wajah saya," tambahnya lagi ketika dihubungi laman Coconuts KL.

Sudah menjadi adat sosial media, rata-rata netizen meninggalkan reaksi mereka sesudah melihat gambar-gambar berkenaan

Hasil tinjauan di laman Twitter mendapati netizen bukan sahaja terhibur tetapi ternyata tahu bahawa konsep yang dipertengahkan oleh jenama itu selain mempunyai nilai ekstetiknya tersendiri, ianya adalah untuk tujuan marketing. Malah terdapat juga yang mengakui baju-baju yang dikeluarkan Labo juga cantik dan kelihatan selesa.

9 Life Choices You Should Make Today To Become A Better Version Of Yourself Tomorrow

Confidence is a universally valued quality — when a person is comfortable enough in their own skin, many things in life become less of a hurdle and more of a challenge. But gaining self-confidence can also be a challenge in itself. Here are 9 life choices you can take to make that challenge an easier one to conquer.

1. Stop comparing yourself to other people

It's important to realise that we are all born with different sets of strengths and weaknesses, which means we all experience life differently. Ultimately, building self-confidence isn't so much of emulating the successes and lives of other people than it is about understanding yourself and using that understanding to make your life better. Comparison is an act of violence against the self.

Image via Anna Akana

2. Be realistic

People tend to have an unrealistically negative view of themselves while glorifying and overestimating the abilities of those around them. Remember that we are not any less great or any more vulnerable than the next person. Be realistically aware of your own weaknesses, but don't let them hold you back from growing as a person.

Image via Emotionally Naked

3. Fake it till you make it

Pretending to be confident is a good substitute for actual confidence. Often, confidence is an acquired habit, an adopted mentality that can be cultivated. When you act confident, you take a step towards learning to be confident in time.

Image via Giphy

4. Set a series of achievable goals

Avoid wording any goals in a vague way. For example, be more confident! is a very vague and therefore seemingly distant goal. Setting small goals such as I will express my opinions more often and following that with I will express my opinions more assertively allows you to occupy a frequent and active role in building confidence.

5. Celebrate success; accept failure

Small victories are victories nonetheless. Take pride in having had the courage to venture beyond previously established comfort zones, and keep in mind that positive thinking encourages positive results. In the same line, learn to accept failure as a natural ancillary step to success instead of letting it dissuade you from trying again.

Image via TBS

6. Cut negative people out of your life

Friends that constantly nitpick at your flaws instead of offering you support in improving at them are not your friends. Likewise, keeping people that only ever criticise you for your mistakes without acknowledging your achievements or efforts in your life is unhealthy and toxic to your well-being. Find a circle of supportive, positive-minded people and see an instant change.

Image via Hello Giggles

7. Embrace the unknown

Confidence doesn't mean being infallible. More importantly, it encompasses having enough faith in yourself to pick yourself up when jobs, relationships, or even your health falls apart. It is understanding that not all things will work out as you want them to, but trusting yourself to make the best of a bad situation — instead of focusing on self-blame and self-pity — to emerge all the better from it.

Image via Perez Hilton

8. Be comfortable with fear

Contrary to what most people think, fear is universal and not unique. What sets apart the people who are confident and the people who aren't, however, is the fact that confident people act despite their fears. They don’t let their fears stop them from going out there and getting what they want — they act instead of reacting.

9. Make peace with your insecurities

Often, we exaggerate the negatives and aggravate our own flaws, and this can lead to a dire lack of confidence. Know that flaws are there because no one is perfect. But when we realise our flaws, they serve to remind us to continue striving to be the best person we can be despite them.

Tan Lee Bee: Meet The Interpreter Known For Her Animated Sign Language On National TV

Amidst the daily COVID-19 press briefings of ministers and politicians, an unlikely person has caught the attention of Malaysians recently

Tan Lee Bee, a sign language interpreter always appearing at the corner of the screen of important addresses, was given newfound appreciation after the latest announcement by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Sunday, 10 May.Her animated signing and facial expressions went viral on social media soon after the speech."Who is this Tan Lee Bee that is always laughed at for playing TikTok beside the Prime Minister?" asked the viral messages.

Siapakah Tan Lee Bee yang sering diketawakan bermain TikTok disebelah Perdana Menteri? Jurubahasa isyarat yang berkhidmat lebih 25 tahun di RTM, Lee Bee memulakan kerjayanya menerusi program Selamat Pagi Malaysia (SPM) pada 1986. pic.twitter.com/vt5shPwiVE— Isskandar #StayAtHome  (@IsskndarAriffin) May 12, 2020

Tan, who has actually been working with national news broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) for almost 25 years, used to be a teacher

Aside from the COVID-19 updates, she is a frequent face on national TV, usually translating reports for the deaf community on the RTM daily evening news segment, Nasional 8.According to Harian Metro, the 58-year-old started her career as a sign language interpreter at RTM in 1986, signing for the programme Selamat Pagi Malaysia (SPM)."SPM was the first TV programme in the country that aired early in the morning and [they] wanted quick news interpreters so that the deaf and mute community could understand the content they were watching," Tan told Harian Metro in an interview.Initially only planning to work part-time as an interpreter, she took up the job.Before that, Tan was a teacher at the Selangor School For The Deaf where she taught for 17 years before beginning her career in broadcasting.

Image via Berita RTM/YouTube

Growing up in Segamat, Johor, Tan had actually learnt sign language to communicate with her younger sibling, who is deaf

Berita Harian reported she never had formal training when she started work at RTM.However, when the SPM morning programme ended in 1988, Tan was offered a one-year scholarship by the Welfare Association of Ministers' Wives (BAKTI) to advance her skills in the Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing at the University of Tennessee in US.She took the scholarship and came back to Malaysia to teach for a few years.But in 1995, she returned to RTM as a full-time sign language interpreter until today.

Image via New Straits Times/Berita Harian

Besides TV, Tan also lends her expertise to courtrooms and corporate companies to explain meetings and briefings to people who are hard of hearing

"Even though our roles (as interpreters) seem small, I am happy with this responsibility because we can cause great impact with the delivery of accurate information to the deaf community," she told Berita Harian in an interview last year.She also explained that one of the challenges she faces on the job is to understand the news text and translate them into messages that are easy for viewers to understand."Hand gestures, facial expressions, and body language need to be in line with what is being read and I need to think fast to meet the standards of Malaysian Sign Language," she said.Tan also told Harian Metro that she hopes every TV station would prepare subtitles and sign language interpreters for their news programmes so that more of the handicapped are able to follow the news.

Image via New Straits Times/Berita Harian

While many were amused with her facial expressions, netizens were undeniably grateful for her services to the country

"I hope she gets a Datukship, she has really done a lot of good," said a Twitter user.

dia ni jasa besar. kena bagi datukship— Videogameshrek, the shrek who plays videogames (@36angstroms) May 12, 2020

"As someone who is still learning sign language, this is one of the people I look up to," said another.

As someone yg masih lgi tgh belajar bahasa isyarat, ni one of the ppl I look up to — Đ₲₲₣₳ɎɆ (Comissions CLOSED!) (@fayeinlehedge) May 12, 2020

While this user said, "Thank you for this tweet. I actually watch RTM because of her and I get somehow disappointed when the interpreter is someone else. I don't know why."

Thank you for this tweet. I actually watched berita RTM because of her and i somehow disappointed each time if the jurubahasa isyarat was someone else i dont know why— Relationshits. (@fvckeachofyou) May 12, 2020

Meanwhile, Mohd Armi Rusli of the Malaysian Sign Language Facebook page has called for more understanding and respect for the work of sign language interpreters

"Sad with a few Malaysians who consider this as entertainment. It seems they have never experienced having a family member with hearing disabilities and who can't speak," he wrote.He said likening signing to TikTok is "very inappropriate" and should not be made a joke.

Starbucks started Signing Stores right here in Malaysia before it was brought over to the US:

It's the fourth Signing Store in the world!

Betul Ke Rayani Air Kemukakan 'Boarding Pass' Dengan Tulisan Tangan?

Setelah dikritik teruk bulan lalu, nama Rayani Air sekali lagi mendapat perhatian apabila didakwa mengemukakan boarding pass tulisan tangan kepada penumpang

Image via Lau Weng San/Facebook

Isu ini diutarakan oleh seorang ADUN parti DAP, Lau Weng San di Facebook pada 19 Mac lalu apabila beliau memuat naik sekeping gambar boarding pass yang ditulis dengan tangan.Posting itu telah mendapat lebih daripada 1,000 shares dalam masa tiga hari.Walaubagaimanapun, pihak berkuasa masih tidak dapat mengesahkan kebenaran dakwaan tersebut. Ia masih lagi dalam siasatan.Selain itu, Lau Weng San turut menunjukkan bukti bahawa penerbangannya dari KL ke Kuching telah dijadualkan semula sebanyak 4 kali.

Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai berkata kementerian akan menyiasat dakwaan tersebut kerana ia boleh menjadi ancaman keselamatan kepada penumpang

"Kami akan menyiasat mengapa mereka menggunakan pas bertulisan tangan sedangkan ia boleh dikeluarkan tanpa kertas dan orang ramai menggunakan telefon bimbit mereka untuk mendaftar masuk."Kita perlu menyiasat kes ini kerana ia boleh menjadi ancaman keselamatan," kata Liow.

        mstar.com.my

Lebih buruk, perkhidmatan Rayani Air mungkin akan digantung sekiranya pihak kementerian terus menerima pelbagai aduan

Image via www.traveller.com.au

Kami akan siasat sekiranya laporan dikemukakan kepada kementerian. Kami akan meneliti aduan seperti pembatalan penerbangan yang tidak diganti. Itu suatu perkara serius."Malah, kami juga boleh menggantung perkhidmatan syarikat penerbangan itu sekiranya ia tidak mematuhi arahan kami," katanya lagi.

        astroawani.com

Ditanya bagaimana Rayani Air boleh mendapat lesen operasi, beliau berkata selagi syarikat itu memenuhi peraturan Jabatan Penerbangan Awam (DCA), ia akan diberi lesen."Ini negara demokrasi, selagi syarikat penerbangan itu dapat memenuhi syarat DCA, peraturan keselamatan dan pelan perkhidmatannya, kami akan keluarkan lesen itu. Bagaimanapun, dengan tahap perkhidmatan yang disediakannya sekarang, tidak memenuhi kehendak pengguna, tindakan boleh diambil terhadap syarikat penerbangan itu,"jelasnya.

Pada masa yang sama, Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki turut mempertikaikan operasi Rayani Air yang kononnya patuh syariah namun membatalkan penerbangan sesuka hati sehingga menyusahkan pengguna

Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki: RAYANI AIR ni rupanya indah khabar dari rupa. Batalkan penerbangan sesuka hati hingga menyusahkan orang yang sudah mengatur pelbagai urusan.Ingatlah! Aspek pematuhan Shariah (Shariah Compliant) bukan sekadar berbangga dengan peragaan pakaian krew yang menutup aurat tetapi termasuklah aspek menunaikan janji dan menepati masa.Kalau prinsip perkhidmatan yang asas seperti ini tidak dapat dipatuhi, usah mendabik dada mendakwa kononnya penerbangan pertama patuh Shariah. Akhirnya Islam bukan hanya sekadar label apatah lagi untuk diperdagangkan tetapi perlu memenuhi prinsip Syariah, nilai dan akhlak yang lebih utama.Isunya, jangan sewenangnya menggunakan perlambangan dan penglabelan Islam untuk melariskan jualan. Ditegah keras oleh Rasulullah SAW.

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, sumber dari Rayani Air berkata mereka terpaksa kemukakan boarding pass tulisan tangan tersebut kerana masalah sistem

Sumber Rayani Air mengesahkan bahawa insiden berlaku apabila penerbangan dari Kuala Lumpur ke Kuching yang dijadualkan pada 17 Mac lalu terpaksa ditunda kepada awal pagi 18 Mac.“Bagaimanapun boarding pass tidak dapat dicetak pada awal pagi 18 Mac disebabkan oleh masalah sistem berkaitan dengan penukaran tarikh.“Insiden itu sedang disiasat dan laporan penuh mengenainya dijangka dikeluarkan pada petang ini. Laporan itu akan dihantar kepada Kementerian Pengangkutan dan Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB),” kata sumber.Difahamkan, mereka akan mengeluarkan kenyataan media bagi memberi penjelasan berhubung perkara tersebut.

Baru-baru ini, tular sebuah posting di Twitter tentang tindakan seorang guru yang melampaui batas

Individu tersebut mendakwa cikgu di sebuah sekolah yang tidak dikenal pasti pernah mengurung murid dalam jeriji besi. Lihat posting itu di bawah:

Allahuakbar. Apa ni ek, sampai kena kurung budak darjah satu kat dalam pagsr besi.Siap ada TNB punya box tu, kot kalau budak tu buat main benda tu lagi tak jadi apa la.Macam mana sekalipun tu budak darjah satu, cikgu jangan la ambil tindakkan diluar batasan. pic.twitter.com/emfapPNEzj— Azuan Abd Ghafar (@AzuanMekanik) June 27, 2023

Anak jadi tak ceria dan takut pergi sekolah sebab pernah nampak kawannya kena kurung

Menerusi perbualan dengan Encik Azuan, kejadian itu berlaku di sebuah sekolah di Rembau. Pada awalnya, dia mengetahui tentang perkara itu melalui group WhatsApp yang terdiri daripada ibu bapa kepada anak-anak darjah satu di sekolah berkenaan. Satu isu telah timbul di dalam group berkenaan, ada ibu bapa yang mengetahui anaknya dikurung di situ. Alasannya adalah sebab anaknya suka bergurau dalam kelas, tak berhenti bising dan main tarik-tarik seluar kawan. Perkara itu telah memberi kesan kepada anak Encik Azuan walaupun anaknya tidak dikurung."Semasa tadika anak ok tiada masalah, selepas masuk darjah satu, nampak perubahan anak kurang ceria bila ke sekolah," katanya kepada SEISMIK. SEISMIK juga telah menghubungi Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah Rembau untuk mendapatkan kenyataan, tetapi masih tidak mendapat maklum balas lagi (semasa artikel ini diterbitkan).

[PHOTOS] This Almost Bezel-Less Smartphone Called AQUOS Crystal Is An Absolute Stunner

This week, Sharp, Softbank, and Sprint announced a new line of devices called Aquos Crystal, which feature full-screen designs like nothing we've seen before

Image via mshcdn.com

The Aquos Crystal is a 5-inch, 720p smartphone with a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor. The Aquos Crystal X is a larger, 5.5-inch, 1080p phablet-style phone with a higher-end Snapdragon 801 processor. Both phones feature virtually no bezel surrounding their displays, indicating that they will feel smaller in your hands than their screen sizes might lead you to believe.

        theverge.com

It's an approach that's worked well for both LG and Motorola in recent smartphone designs. Both phones have sound processing technology by Harmon Kardon, which was also featured in an exclusive HTC One M8 for Sprint earlier this year. Oddly enough, neither model is waterproof, which is a break from tradition for Japanese smartphones.

        digitaltrends.com

Sprint has confirmed that it would be getting the 5-inch Aquos Crystal smartphone, a new mid-range device unlike anything else in Sprint's lineups

Oh, and it's going to sell for a measly $239 without a contract (or $10 per month with Sprint's Easy Pay plan or $149.99 on Sprint's prepaid Boost or Virgin brands).

        theverge.com

The star of the show is the Aquos Crystal's 5-inch, 720p edge-to-edge display. There is virtually no bezel surrounding the screen, making it the first smartphone we can truly call "edge-to-edge".

Image via vox-cdn.com

It's remarkable to see in pictures, but in person, it looked like something taken straight out of a science fiction movie set. I couldn't stop looking at the screen — it's really that striking. It reminds me of an infinity pool that has no edge.

        theverge.com

Image via twimg.com

But there is an edge here, and it's beveled and sharp. The Aquos Crystal is a little thicker than most smartphones today, but it has a matte plastic back that's slightly dimpled (but not as dimpled as Samsung's Galaxy S5). It feels less premium than an HTC One or iPhone 5S, but I can't say it feels cheap by any means. It's also much smaller than you expect a 5-inch smartphone to be because of its edge-to-edge display.

        gizmodo.com

The Aquos Crystal runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat with minimal to no interface modifications

Image via digitaltrends.com

Sprint is including a couple of new software features on it, including a gesture-based screenshot tool and App Pass, a subscription based app service.

        mashable.com

Similar to a "Netflix for apps," App Pass costs $4.99 per month and provides unlimited access to a number of premium apps, including games and productivity tools. It also includes $5 of in-app purchase credit that can be used in the apps downloaded from the App Pass store.

        theverge.com

Image via vox-cdn.com

Those looking for premium smartphone specifications won't be impressed by the Aquos Crystal's 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, or 8GB of storage (there is a microSD card slot to expand on the internal storage). But otherwise, the Crystal has all of Sprint's latest features, including HD voice, Wi-Fi calling, Harmon Kardon audio enhancements, and support for its faster Spark LTE network. And for its price point, the Crystal is really offering a lot on paper.

        digitaltrends.com

While talking on a phone with no bezel and no apparent earpiece is a little odd, you still hold the Aquos Crystal up to your ear in the same way you hold any other phone

Image via vox-cdn.com

Because nearly the entire front is display, it lacks a proximity sensor, but Sharp's software will lock the display when on calls so you don't accidentally press buttons with your ear. I didn't have enough time with the device to truly test out how well it handles inadvertant swipes from the edge with my thumb, but we'll be sure to put that through its paces when we have a review unit in.

        theverge.com

Sprint and Sharp have not yet announced availability

Image via kinja-img.com

Sprint isn't saying exactly when the Aquos Crystal will be available, but it says we should expect it in the near future. We're looking forward to spending some more time with it, but until then, check out some more pictures below.

Grieving Mum Forgives School Bus Driver Who Accidentally Ran Over Her Toddler In Sepang

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

A 37-year-old mother, whose toddler daughter died after she was accidentally run over by a school bus in front of her house, says that she does not blame the driver and has accepted the tragedy as fate

"My husband and I have accepted the fact that our daughter is gone," Zainab Mohideen Abdul Kadar said, hoping that the police will not take any legal action against the 50-year-old bus driver.

			We harbour no ill feelings towards the school bus driver.
        Zainab

On Thursday, 26 May, the toddler was fatally run over by the driver in Taman Anggerik, Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi in Sepang. She was running after her sister, who came out of the house to board the school bus.The bus driver, who was arrested on Friday, 27 May, has been released on police bail after he gave his statement. The case is being investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

A grief-stricken Zainab said that while she's devastated, she understands that the driver did not intend to crash into her daughter

"I haven't met the driver, because he is still traumatised by what had happened. He has called me and apologised for what happened and I forgive him. I can't blame the driver. Even when the family's statement was recorded by the police, I told the police that this driver was not to be harmed. I have no revenge against this driver, he has been a bus driver for about 25 years," Berita Harian quoted her as saying."My husband and I have no problem with the driver. We have to accept what had happened and cannot take vengeance upon him," she said, adding that he is also not well-off and his bus has been seized.

Zainab and her husband were at work and their children were being looked after by her mother-in-law on the day of the tragic incident

The victim's third sister 13-year-old Nurul Aishah Mohamad Kassim, who witnessed the accident, said she was on the steps of the bus, giving pocket money to the victim's fifth sister, who was already on the bus.After having given the money to the victim's fifth sister, Nurul got off the bus. That's when she noticed that the victim, Zahida, was already under the bus as it started to move."I kept shouting and pulled out my sister because I was afraid that Zahida would be run over a second time, by the rear tire of the bus. My grandmother and our neighbours who heard my screams came out and asked what happened and one of the neighbours helped us to bring Zahida to a nearby clinic," she said.

The 50-year-old bus driver apologised ceaselessly to the victim's grandmother, saying that he had not realised that Zahida was there

"He said he did not realise that Zahida was on the left side of the bus, underneath," Nurul said, adding that after he apologised, her grandma told him to send the other students to school before it was too late."He did as told and later came to the house to ask about Zahida's condition. He apologised once again, saying he did not see Zahida and the incident was not intentional. My mother reassured him that it was okay and that she did not blame the driver or me. We both did not notice Zahida coming out of the house."According to Nurul, Zahida was loved by everyone."I was close with Zahida, she liked to follow me wherever I went," the 13-year-old added.

Visitors Look Forward To Upcoming Aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia Event, Urged To Practice SOPs

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

The 100-Day Aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia (AKM) event will be held from 9 to 12 December at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre

Image via Keluarga Malaysia

The four-day programme will commence tomorrow, with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob expected to launch this event.Among the activities lined up are a career carnival, cultural performance, arts appreciation night, entrepreneurship sales, traditional sports, gallery showcasing ministries' achievements, and aid programmes.

While there has been concerns regarding the spread of the Variant of Concern (VoC), Omicron, National Security Council director-general Datuk Rodzi Md Saad said that there is no reason to be alarmed

Image via New Straits Times

According to Rodzi, the government has prepared stringent standard operating procedures (SOP) for the upcoming AKM programme.He also mentioned that a lackadaisical attitude among people contributed to the spread of the COVID-19 virus when they failed to adhere to the SOPs, which included wearing face masks, as well as maintaining physical distancing and good personal hygiene."Most important is how visitors and organisers will play their roles and be responsible for ensuring SOP compliance at the highest level. We are confident of preventing the spread of the virus if the SOPs are adhered to," he told reporters in an interview with the New Straits Times.

Nevertheless, Rodzi called on Malaysians to comply with SOPs when participating in any programme and not let their guard down

"Public awareness is there, they know what to do. However, sometimes, people tend to take [the SOPs] for granted and assume that they will not be victims of COVID-19."If we protect ourselves well enough, we will be able to curb the spread of COVID-19," he added.

The National Security Council is also prepared for any eventualities during the programme, including immediate intervention should a COVID-19 positive case be detected

This includes a sanitisation process by the organiser, along with health experts, police, and armed forces personnel who will be monitoring the event and taking appropriate steps if necessary.While children aged below 12 are be allowed to attend the programme, they must be accompanied by fully vaccinated parents. Fully vaccinated children aged 13 and above are also allowed to attend.

The event will be limited to a maximum of 10,350 people at a time, about half the convention centre's capacity

Furthermore, only a limited number of visitors will be allowed to each floor at any given time. For instance, only a maximum of 2,000 visitors can enter the first floor for the Career Carnival, despite its full capacity to accommodate up to 6,000 people."We want to ensure the main condition for the National Recovery Plan's SOPs, that is physical distancing, is adhered," said Rodzi.He also advised those who intend on attending to make prior planning before going for it."If there are too many people, please avoid the place and come again another day," he said.

Report Says Malaysian Students Less Anxious About Tests Than In Other Asian Countries

The percentage of test anxiety among Malaysian students is lower than most of their Asian counterparts

The rich data set of the analysis.
Image via McKinsey & Company

According to The Star, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 Results (Volume III) provided that 67% of Malaysian students worry about taking a test.The percentage is lower than Hong Kong (71%), Japan (78%), Singapore (74%) and South Korea (69%). As a matter of fact, the only countries with a lower anxiety percentage than Malaysia are Thailand and China (Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shanghai), both at 66%.

Interestingly, some of the East Asian countries that excelled academically have the highest test anxiety and the lowest life satisfaction

The report exhibited that anxiety related to schoolwork refers to the extent to which students are worried about getting poor grades, feel anxious when preparing for tests, and get nervous when they don't know how to solve a task.In high-performing Asia, such as Hong Kong and China, even top performers are anxious.

However, the opposite is true elsewhere. Students in high-performing countries like Estonia and Finland have low test anxiety and high life satisfaction.

Li-Kai Chen, a partner of global consulting firm McKinsey & Company, explained why this is in contrast to many Asian countries with high test anxiety.He said that, "If high-performing Asian countries are to sustain their reputation for having some of the best school systems in the world, they will need to work on creating more well-rounded students who not only ace standardised tests but can creatively apply that performance."

Malaysian students are better off than most of their Asian neighbours, but there is still room for improvement

McKinsey analysis.
Image via OECD PISA 2012, 2015.

“Lower test anxiety is good but having zero anxiety isn’t necessarily beneficial because worrying can contribute to better performance,” said Chen, according to The Star.He also noted that countries which showed high levels of test anxiety such as Japan and South Korea have some of the best performance systems in the world."There could be many reasons for test anxiety including high-stakes exams and culture," he said. "Test anxiety is a mindset. How anxious are you even though you're well prepared for an exam?"

Given Malaysia's GDP, the country is underperforming in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)

However, Chen noted that the outcome in 2015 showed improvement.

Image via McKinsey & Company

"Malaysia, which is only at the 'fair level', spends the same on education as high-performing Taiwan which is in the 'great level'," he said, but noted that Malaysian students performed below the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average."It's not about how much you spend on, it's what you spend on."

The expert claimed that education reforms in many countries have failed due to misguided practices

Chen explained that, "There are no best practices in education system reform. What's more important is putting in the relevant reform.""If your system is about making a journey from poor to fair performance, you shouldn't be looking at what Finland is doing now. You should be looking at what they were doing 20 years ago," he said.

Seorang wanita iaitu Ummu Syahirah Derahman telah berkongsi kisah sedih ketika mendapat berita bahawa dia mempunyai Cyst tanpa disedari

Perkongsian tersebut telah ditulis olehnya untuk menceritakan pengalamannya dari mula hingga ke akhir ketika bertarung nyawa dengan penyakit ini.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Image via Ummu Syahirah Derahman / Facebook

I WASN'T PREGNANT, I HAD CYST.Panjang masa yang diambil untuk membuat perkongsian ni. Di sini, ada kisah berserta nasihat yang ingin diberikan berdasarkan sedikit pengalaman yang pernah dilalui.Januari 2016, Alhamdulillah saya menjadi seorang isteri kepada imam bernama Azrul Aziz. 2 tahun pertama kami merancang untuk tidak lagi menimang zuriat atas faktor kami pelajar, untuk mengukuhkan ikatan pernikahan yg baru dibina dan juga untuk menstabilkan ekonomi dan sahsiah kami sebelum bergelar ibu bapa.Menuju ke akhir tahun ke-2 perkahwinan, kami memutuskan untuk menimang cahaya mata, menjemput zuriat dlm keluarga kecil kami jika itu yang terbaik menurut aturanNya. Bermula dari sini, satu lembaran kisah hidup Dia bentangkan di hadapan kami.

Dengan simptom yang ada, mereka masih tidak pasti bahawa ianya adalah Cyst. Oleh itu, pasangan ini terus-menerus membuat temujanji bersama doktor untuk menjalani ujian.

Lebih kurang Julai 2017, kami teruji dengan keadaan sy yang mengalami haid tidak teratur. Oleh kerana secara lumrahnya haid sy teratur bermula dari kali pertama, ianya mendatangkan kegusaran. Ditambah dengan kesukaran untuk mengira waktu haid dan istihadah berdasarkan waktu haid yang sangat panjang, kami mula merujuk hal ini kepada pakar perubatan. Temujanji demi temujanji serta menjalani ultrasound, semuanya kelihatan normal, barangkali perubahan hormon yg temporary disebabkan stress atau faktor yg lainnya.Januari 2018, sy mula mengalami heartburn yang boleh dikatakan teruk. Terkadang rasa seolah-olah tidak boleh bernafas dan dalam keadaan seperti itu, sy amat sukar untuk makan. Di samping itu, dalam tidak sedar berat badan bertambah di luar jangkaan, walaupun amount and pattern diet sy tetap sama seperti sebelumnya. Suami, keluarga dan rakan-rakan tertanya-tanya adakah saya mengandung?Sy akui kerana persoalan itu dan ditambah dengan haid yg masih tidak teratur, sy kerap menjalani ujian air kecing untuk mengesahkan samada sy mengandung atau tidak. Dan terbukti, setiap ujian yg dijalani memberikan keputusan negative.Jun 2018, sy semakin mudah merasa kenyang setiap kali makan, dan sy juga semakin kerap mengunjungi tandas untuk membuang air dan perubahan itu disedari suami. Oleh kerana haid yang terus tidak teratur, kami meneruskan rawatan dengan merujuk pakar sakit puan di Kelantan. Disebabkan kekangan masa dan urusan pengajian, temujanji sy terpaksa ditangguh 2-3 kali.

Konsultasi bersama doktor pakar berjalan dengan lancar sehinggalah doktor memberitahu bahawa...

19 Julai 2018, ketika ini sy dan suami sedang menjalani latihan perindustrian (praktikal) dan hari ini sy mengunjungi doktor pakar sakit puan ditemani ummi sy, Hapizah. Konsultasi dengan doktor berjalan lancar sehinggalah sy menjalani ultrasound sekali lagi. Dengan riak wajah yang terkejut, doktor pakar berbincang bersama doktor pelatih (barangkali) serta jururawat yg ada bersama beliau. Dengan nada yg kedengaran berhati-hati, doktor mengatakan bahawa ada sesuatu di ‘kilang telur’/ovari sy. Dengan tenang sy terus mendengar penjelasan beliau. Beliau mengambil masa yang agak lama memeriksa ovari di kiri dan kanan sambil berbincang kemungkinan situasi yg sy hadapi. Dengan sedikit ilmu medical terms dan English, sy dpt meneka kemungkinan keadaan sy. Mood yg mesra, damai dan tenang di dalam kamar itu tadi tiba-tiba berubah.Antara dialog yg berlaku ketika itu antara sy dan doktor tersebut:Doktor: Ada ketulan ye di kilang telur awak, ovari.. Nampak mcm ada kat dua-dua belah tapi banyak di bahagian kanan. Nampak mcm ketulan-ketulan kecil yg bnyk.. Awak takde rasa sakit ke kat bhgian abdomen, perut awak ni?Saya: Ada doktor, kadang kuat jugak tpi sy rasa bearable, masih boleh tahanDoktor: lama dah start rasa sakit?Saya: Lebih kurang akhir tahun lepas atau awal tahun ni doktor.Doktor: Awak ada ambik ubat putih atau kurus ke?Saya: Tak pernah doktor.. sy tak makan benda-benda mcm tu..Doktor: Dalam family, ada yg kena kanser ke?Saya: Ada doktor, makcik sy.Doktor: Belah mak atau ayah?Saya: Belah mak.Dialog itu berakhir di situ buat sementara.Ketika itu terbayang wajah arwah ibu sedara sy yg baru meninggal tahun lepas. Sy sifatkan beliau sebagai salah seorang cancer-fighter yg bertarung dengan breast cancer hampir 8-9 tahun kalau tak silap sy. Wanita hebat yg diuji, namun sy tak merasakan bahawa sy akan menjadi sesabar dan setabah beliau jika diuji sedemikian.Doktor mula kelihatan ‘kalut’ memberi arahan itu dan ini kepada jururawat serta beliau mengisi 3-4 borang dihadapan sy. Darah sy diambil sebanyak 6 botol darah. Kembali bertemu doktor, doktor menerangkan yg penyisatan untuk mengetahui keadaan sebenar sy perlu dilakukan melaui CT Scan, dan diagnos hari itu belum dipastikan dan hanyalah kemungkinan. Surat rujukan untuk menjalani CT Scan diberikan, tertulis di bhgian bawah surat tersebut adalah:Possible diagnose: Ovarian Cancer

“Alhamdulillah.. Terima kasih Ya Allah kerana memilihku menjadi insan yang diuji...”

Selepas pertemuan hari itu, tarikh temujanji dimaklumkan pada suami, ummi dan keluarga namun diagnose hari itu dan matlamat temujanji seterusnya tidak dimaklumkan. Hampir 2-3 hari ianya disimpan sebagai rahsia. Memandang suami, keluarga terutama ummi ayah terasa begitu asing kerana memikirkan kemungkinan yg berlaku. Akhirnya ummi dimaklumkan terlebih dahulu dan kemudian suami. Dengan matlamat untuk menjadi lebih peka menjaga pemakanan, ibu mertua mengetahui hal tersebut dan tangisan di pipinya membuatkan air mata sy yg bergenang di kelopak mata juga tidak dpt dibendung. Tangisan sy seka dan senyuman diukirkan. Suami mula resah, merujuk ke sana dan ke mari, bertanyakan kemungkinan yg akan berlaku kepadanya sy.“Alhamdulillah.. terima kasih Ya Allah kerana memilihku menjadi insan yang diuji” – Itu suara hati yg sy pegang sejak menerima berita tersebut.13 Ogos 2018, CT Scan dijalankan. 29 Ogos 2018, temujanji dengan doktor pakar sakit puan untuk mengetahui keputusan CT Scan. Kemungkinan sy mengalami kanser ovari ada,namun ianya hanya dapat dibuktikan apabila sampel ketumbuhan di ovari sy dikeluarkan dan diuji. Tarikh pembedahan ditetapkan dan keputusan yg dicapai adalah untuk mebuang ketumbuhan yg ada serta membuang ovari kanan sy. Dengan penjelasan bahawa peluang sy untuk mengandung tetap ada memandangkan masih ada ovari kiri, suami menerima keputusan tersebut.1 Oktober 2018, kami mengambil cuti selama seminggu untuk urusan pembedahan dan hari ini sy dimasukkan ke dalam wad untuk tujuan pembedahan keesokan harinya, dan ditemani kakak tercinta Ummu Husna Derahman. Petang itu, sekali lagi ultrasound di jalankan, sy dimaklumkan tentang doktor-doktor yg akan menyertai pembedahan sy, sy mengisi borang kebenaran untuk dibius penuh serta sy diterangkan tentang proses pembedahan esok hari. Berdasarkan pemerhatian melalui ultrasound serta dibantu oleh imej dari CT Scan, doktor seolah-olah merasakan keadaan sy lebih teruk dari yg sebelumnya. Pada ketika itu, secara professional doktor berdialog;Doktor: Okay Puan Ummu, puan tahu ye tujuan pembedahan esok?Saya: Ye saya, doktor..Doktor: Okay, esok kita kan buat operation di panggil laporotomy dan kita kan belah bahagian abdomen awak secara vertical ye (sambil menunjukkan bahagian yg beliau maksudkan).. kita akan belah dari bawah pusat dan kebawah, kira-kira 10 cm, dan kalau cyst tu besar, mungkin kita akan belah sikit dari ke atas pusat ye..Saya: Ok doktor..Doktor: Esok siapa penjaga yg akan ada msa operation ye?Saya: InsyaAllah mak ayah sy dan suami akan ada sekali.Doktor: Ok baik puan.. sebab mcm ni ye puan, cyst puan ni kami rasa dah merebak jauh dan bukan berada berdekatan ovari sy, cyst tu dh hampir ke kawasan buah pinggang dan menolah bhagian atas puan ye.. jadi kami tak pasti samada bhgian mana lagi yg terlibat smpailah kami bedah buka dan lihat sendiri. (Sy hanya mengangguk mengiyakan). Sebelum ni puan dimaklumkan bahawa ovari kanan puan akan dibuang bersama ye puan?Saya: Ye doktor..Doktor: Baik, jadi ye puan esok ada kemungkinan kita terpaksa untuk buang kedua-dua ovari dan kalau ianya dah merebah ke bahgian rahim, kami terpaksa untuk buang rahim puan sekali..jadi, kami perlukan persetujuan dari suami puan esok, kalau perlu..

"Kemungkinan besar doktor terpaksa untuk buang kedua-dua ovari dan rahim." - Ia merupakan berita yang membuatkan hatinya runtun untuk memberitahu ahli keluarga dan suami.

Keadaan wad terasa sunyi, dalam keadaan terkesima sy mengiyakan dan doktor membenarkan sy kembali ke katil selepas memaklumkan bahawa sy perlu menandatangi surat persetujuan untuk menjalani pembedahan dan dibius penuh.Dengan fikiran kosong, sy disapa kakak dan sy bertindak biasa. Sy kemudian berwuduk dan solat Asar. Sujud kali itu terasa lama, tangisan dalam diam mencurah di dada sejadah. Doa terasa sukar dilafaz. Ketika itu, terasa seolah-olah hamba yg sangat dhaif dan hina di hadapanNya, hamba yang sedang memahami aturanNya dan dalam keadan bertawakal terus mensyukuri nikmat ujian itu.Memandangkan sy hanya ditemani ummi, ayah dan kakak semasa urusan kemasukan wad, petang itu suami dtg seawal waktu melawat bermula. Sy menyambut dengan senyuman namun hati yg gundah. Selepas usikan dan jenaka antara sy, suami dan kakak, suami duduk di hadapan sy dan memandang tepat wajah sy, seolah membaca riak wajah sy untuk berkomunikasi dengannya.Dengan hati dan lidah yg berat menuturkan kata, sy menceritakan apa yg sy lakukan tadi. Menyampaikan maklumat untuk pembedahan esok kemudian mengkhabarkan kemungkinan yg bakal kami hadapi esok. Sy ingin dia menjadi yg pertama dimaklumkan, kakak ditepi mendengar dengan tenang.Wajah suami kekal tenang namun tangisan sy tak dpt dibendung. Hakikatnya sy tak mampu untuk menzahirkan kata, tapi sy memujuk hati. Dia menenangkan sy bahawa itu hnya kemungkinan dan bukan kepastian. Saya memaklumkan bahawa dia akan membuat keputusan tersebut esok jika diperlukan. Air mata sy terus mengalir laju, memandang wajah suami dengan bayangan “syg mungkin tak mampu beri b anak..”, ianya terasa begitu pahit dan pedih. Terlintas di hati, andai benar itu takdir yg bakal tersurat, sy berazam untuk minta dilepaskan kelak agar suami mampu memilik isteri yg dpt memberinya zuriat. Suami menemani hingga ke habis waktu melawat dan pulang dengan riak wajah yg tenang dan menasihati untuk sy terus bertilawah untuk menenangkan hati.

Mesej semangat moral dari rakan-rakan langsung tidak terhenti diterima. Ia merupakan salah satu sebab wanita ini terus berjuang tanpa kenal erti putus asa.

Malam itu, mesej dari teman-teman bertanyakan khabar dan mendoakan tidak putus tiba. Abang dan adik yg kejauhan membuat video call serta menghantar pesanan bahawa mereka sentiasa bersama walau berjauhan. Sokongan moral dari kakak ipar juga diterima menerusi telefon pintar sy. Tidak diduga, pesanan ringkas dari kakak ipar dan adik ipar menambah hiba dan mengudang tangisan yg terhenti.“Utamakan diri adik sebelum fikirkan tentang org lain.. kami sekeluarga menerima apa-apa keputusan seadanya.. Zuhdi dan Zuhaira syg cik Ummu..”“I know you’re strong kak Ummu... we all love you and I love you too, my sister..” - Begitulah ringkasan dari mesej mereka yg panjang. Malam itu terus berlalu.2 Oktober 2018 - Hari pembedahan. Seusai solat subuh, suami, ummi ayah, abg sudah sampai ke wad dan bersama ketika itu adalah kakak ipar yg setia menemani dari semalam. Kemudian kakak dan abg ipar turut hadir, mengambil cuti belah pagi untuk menemani sepanjang pembedahan. Pembedahan sy adalah yg pertama dan dijadualkan pada pukul 8 pagi.Suami dtg dan duduk bersama di atas katil. Dia menyusun atur. Kemudian dia bersuara, memaklumkan bahawa dia telah berbincang dan befikir, apa jua keputusan yg perlu diberikan hari ini, dia akan memilih apa yg terbaik utk kesihatan sy. Andai menghilangkan peluang untuk kami mendapat zuriat sendiri itu yg terbaik untuk sy, maka dia kan memilih keputusan itu. Di akhir kata, dia berkata sambil bercanda, “kita boleh dapatkan anak angkat..ma dan semua kat rumah pun bersetuju dan menyokong pendirian b”.Sekali lagi air mata sy mengalir, terharu dgn layanan dan sokongan dari suami dan keluarga beliau. Pukul 8 pagi, sy dibawa ke dewan bedah diiringi anak-anak buah dan keluarga memberikan sokongan.Ayah bersuara dalam ruangan sebelum ke bilik bedah, “Ayah tahu Syera anak ayah yang kuat..”, sebak di dada ditahan, flying kisses dari ummi, dan ciuman di dahi diterima dari ayah dan suami. Ahli keluarga yg lain menunggu di luar.

Selepas pembedahan dilakukan, Cyst berjaya dikeluarkan. Dan berita paling menggembirakan pasangan ini adalah rahim dan ovari wanita ini berada dalam keadaan yang baik.

Alhamdulillah, pembedahan hanya mengambil masa lebih kurang 20-30 minit dan kira-kira 2 jam kemudian, sy dibawa keluar dari dewan bedah menuju ke wad. Saat terjaga sy sempat merasa perubahan di bahgaian abdomen di mana perut sy menjadi begitu kempis. Sempat berbicara dgn doktor walau sy dlm keadaan lemah, beliau memaklumkan hanya cyst yg dikeluarkan serta ovari sy pun tidak dibuang bersama kecuali sedikit sahaja yg bersambung dengan cyst. Berbanding dengan teori awal bahawa cyst sy merupakan ketulan-ketulan kecil, hakikatnya ianya merupakan satu kantung yg sangat besar bersaiz 30cm X 30cm dan dipenuhi cecair yg akan dikenalpasti kemudian. Mendengar penjelasan dari doktor dan menerusi gambar yg sempat di ambil suami ketika dipanggil seusai cyst tersebut berjaya di keluarkan, alhamdulillah, kelihatan kelegaan dan kegembiraan di raut wajah suami. Allah menguji dengan kami dengan sangkaan yg kami tidak akan dapat menimang cahaya mata sendiri, namun Allah hakikatnya seakan mencuit hati kami untuk mensyukuri kebenaran yg rahim sy bahkan kedua-dua ovari sy dlm keadaan baik. 5 hari kemudian sy dapat pulang ke rumah dan meneruskan recovery phase di rumah. Sy mengambil cuti pengajian untuk satu semester untuk tujuan fokus pada pemulihan.Pelbagai pengajaran yg sy dapat perolehi dan simpulkan dari sebahagian kisah hidup sy ini. Saya bila mengetahui tentang keadaan sy sebelum ini, sy menjadi lebih peka dan belajar tentang mereka-mereka yg diuji dgn cyst ini.

Untuk pengetahuan anda, di bawah merupakan punca atau faktor yang menyumbang kepada Cyst:

1) Wanita yg memiliki berat badan berlebihan atau obes berkecenderungan untuk menghidap polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO’s) dimana terdapat banyak cyst kecil pada ovarinya – menghalang telur keluar dari kilang ovari lazimnya menyebabkan sukar hamil2) Wanita dlm era reproduktif di mana ovarinya berfungsi dengan baik juga merupakan golongan berisiko3) Wanita pada era sebelum menopaus – jika terdapat cyst, besar kemungkinan mengidap kanser itu tinggi4) Pengmbilan pil atau serbuk kolagen – or probably mudah difahami produk nak putih atau kurus5) Pemakanan – haiwan yg disuntik hormon nak besar so on or suntikan hormon dlm binatang ternakan utk elak penyakit6) Stress dan tekanan perasaan7) Ketidakseimbangan hormon estrogen dan progestron dlm tubuh badan8) Lebihan hormon Xenostogen dlm badan9) Kelewatan menimang cahaya mata – wanita yg lambat mengandung dan melahirkan anak mempunyai risiko yg lebih tinggi10) Merokok11) GenetikSimptom cyst:1) Mengalami kesakitan pada bahagian pelvis, ketika melakukan hubungan kelamin dan sakit ketika haid (/)2) Mengalami masalah membuang air kecil atau besar (...)3) Perut membesar dan terasa ada ketumbuhan di perut/kembung perut tak terkawal (/)4) Rasa kenyang atau perut penuh (/)5) Rasa mahu terkencing sepanjang masa (/)6) Sakit di belakang atau paha (...)7) Payudara menjadi lembut (...)8) Pening dan muntah (/)9) Period/haid tak teratur (/)(/) utk simptom yg sy alami dan (...) utk simptom yg sy tak ingat atau tak perasan sy alami.

Pengalaman ini boleh dijadikan sebagai pengajaran untuk sentiasa peka dengan kesihatan masing-masing. Terutama para wanita di luar sana.

Konklusinya, sentiasa alert dengan anugerah kesihatan yg diberikan kepada kita and never take it for granted. Jangan ambil remeh dengan perubahan atau kesakitan yg tubuh kita alami especially perempuan (sebab perkongsian sy ini fokus pada wanita). Diri sendiri dan suami terutamanya, serta kaum keluarga perlu alert dengan apa-apa perubahan yg berlaku dan cepat-cepat rujuk pada pakar.Latest update: Baru jumpa doctor untuk follow up case ni, doktor terkejut sebab Alhamdulillah sy dah mengandung 3 bulan. Tapi, bukan salah sy la doktor sebab doktor tak bagi amaran kena jarakkan dulu waktu ke apa.. meanwhile suami sy dah nak baby hahaha.. However, Alhamdulillah doktor kata bayi dlm keadaan yg sihat dan tempat cyst pun masih dlm keadaan baik. So, doakan moga-moga kandungan ini insya-Allah sentiasa dlm keadaan yg baik dan bayi akan dilahirkan kelak dlm keadaan sempurna dan baik-baik saja. Itu saja perkongsian sy, moga ada manfaat dan peringatan untuk semua especially kaum suami dan wanita.“Mencari yang sempurna itu mustahil, namun bagi menyempurnakan insan lain itu adalah sebahgian dari anugerah Tuhan buat kita, manusia”

Work From Home Order In CMCO Areas Only Affects Industries Under MITI And Civil Servants

Only industries under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and those in the public sector are affected by the work from home order in Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) areas

Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced this during his daily press conference today, 21 October, a few hours after MITI released several standard operating procedures (SOPs) related to the new ruling that comes into effect tomorrow, 22 October.Workers in sectors categorised as informal are not affected by the WFH order for CMCO areas.

Here's what Ismail Sabri said about informal sectors:

"Many other sectors categorised as informal sectors, such as retail, food, plantations, agriculture, hawkers, restaurants, food stalls, food courts, sundry shops, convenience shops and so on are allowed to continue working as usual according to the SOPs. So, these other shops can operate as usual."

However, workers in essential services like transport and security personnel are not exempted from the WFH order in CMCO areas

According to Ismail Sabri, transportation services including public and express buses, e-hailing services, taxis, LRT, and food delivery services will be allowed to operate as usual under the SOPs."Police and armed forces personnel, employees of public transport companies, taxi drivers, e-hailing and delivery services are also not affected by the directive," he said.

“6 Bulan Nikah Masih Belum Hamil” - Motivasi Wanita Ini Akan Buat Kita Lebih Bersyukur

Ramai pasangan yang dikurniakan zuriat selepas mendirikan rumahtangga. Namun, ada juga pasangan yang berbeza nasibnya. Mereka dikurniakan sesuatu yang lain daripada zuriat.

Memang tidak dinafikan, setiap pasangan mengimpikan hidup berkeluarga yang sempurna dengan kehadiran zuriat. Namun, tidak semua orang menerima nasib yang sama. Seharusnya, jika Tuhan masih belum menjawab doa anda, teruskan berdoa dan mengharapkan yang terbaik untuk anda serta pasangan.Jika anda benar-benar menginginkan sesuatu, teruskan usaha dengan apa jua cara sekalipun. Anda tidak akan pernah gagal dalam mencuba, cuma bezanya sama ada lambat atau cepat sahaja.

Begitu juga dengan kurniaan zuriat untuk setiap pasangan. Ianya adalah berbeza, ada yang diberi terus selepas menikah. Ada juga yang diberikan lambat sedikit kerana Tuhan ingin memberikan  kelainan untuk setiap pasangan.

Seperti perkongsian seorang wanita di laman Facebook yang membincangkan tentang perkara ini

Posting tersebut secara tidak langsung mampu untuk memberikan semangat bagi pasangan di luar sana yang masih belum dikurniakan zuriat walaupun sudah lama berkahwin.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Aku nak beri sedikit motivasi buat isteri-isteri di luar sana yg masih belum mengandung setelah bernikah buat berberapa ketika.Memang awal pernikahan, kita mengharapkan sangat-sangat kehadiran zuriat. Kita akan lalui fasa menunggu agar tak datang period pada setiap bulan yg berlalu.Tapi setelah 6 bulan kawen, tak ada lagi tanda-tanda akan mengandung, malah period datang macam biasa je, macam tak bersalah pulak ye?Lepas tu kita pun start rasa tertekan, eh bila la nak mengandung ni. Org lain elok je bunting pelamin segala, ada yg lepas pantang terus hamil lagi.Mudahnya, MashaaAllah. Kengkawan pulak jenis yg tahu je mengandung, terus update pregnancy test kit tunjuk pada semua, lepas tu tak habis cerita pasal muntah, mual, muak loya setiap pagi. Penuh newsfeed dgn cerita mereka.

Buat pasangan yang mengharapkan kehadiran zuriat, bersabarlah. Buka mata, lapangkan perasaan dan fikir kenapa masih belum dikurniakan rezeki anak buat masa ini?

Aku lihat ramai sebenarnya, yg boleh mudah mengandung, anak sampai 2 atau 3, tapi suami tak sayang. Kena cerai, kena tipu, malah diabaikan oleh pasangan. Mereka mudah ada anak, malah bukan seorang, tapi suami tak sayang. Kena tinggal pulak tu pun ada.Sekarang fikir, kita yg lambat mengandung ni ada je suami siang malam dengan kita. Sayangkan kita walau takde zuriat bersama, masih bersungguh-sungguh ambil berat, dan tak curang pun dibelakang kita.Jadi, suami ini adalah suatu nikmat. Maka nikmat Tuhan yg manakah hendak kamu dustakan?Kita suka sgt letak anak sebagai titik fokus kebahagiaan. Memang tak dinafikan, anak ini buat ibu ayah gembira bahagia sbb mereka adalah cahaya mata. Tapi kita cepat sgt lupa, Allah blh beri bahagia dengan pelbagai lagi cara sebenarnya. Allah Maha Bijaksana dan Maha Pemurah buat kita.Jangan tertekan sgt bila tak ada anak lagi. Kita kira anak-anak ni akan sentiasa buat kita gembira. Tapi kita tak tahu betapa besar amanah yg kita kena pikul. Lepas ada anak, bukan sahaja nak kena jaga kebajikannya dan membesarkan dia, kita kena didik dia dgn agama. Mampukah kita sebenarnya?Kita rasa kita dah sediakan kewangan yg mencukupi jadi sepatutnya kita layak ada anak sendiri. Tapi Allah lebih tahu akan apa yg kita perlukan dalam hidup ini. Allah nak kita guna rezeki utk bahagian yg lain dulu sebelum diberi kepada anak. Sebab tu, ramai pasangan yg hidup gembira dpt pergi bercuti ke sana sini.

Tuhan memberikan rezeki dalam bentuk yang berbeza-beza untuk setiap pasangan. Namun begitu, Dia juga akan kurniakan apa yang anda minta lambat laun.

Sekarang fikir, kita rasa seronok dapat duduk rumah jaga anak, tapi ada sahaja yg akhirnya bosan sebab asyik kena duduk rumah jaga anak.Sementara Allah beri rezeki dan peluang nak travel sana sini, nikmati dan syukurilah. Sebab bila dah ada anak nnt takut kita sibuk di rumah terus tak dapat pegi mana² lagi. Itu barangkali.Terlalu memikirkan nak ada anak, sampai kita lupa ada pasangan yg mudah sgt nak dpt zuriat sampai akhirnya mereka "tak mahu" ada tambahan zuriat. Mula la keluar alasan, belum ready, takde keperluan nak anak ramai dan ekonomi gawat. Mereka pula tak percaya pada ketentuan rezeki.Lepas tu sibuk pasang implan, ikat rahim, makan pil perancang dan bersusah payah la sedaya upaya agar takde janin dalam rahim mereka. Hidup asyik memikirkan eh tak suka la nak mengandung, alah lecehlah mengandung, ala "eksiden" pula, ala kenapa cepat sgt mengandung, penat la tak larat la..Merungut sahaja!

Sebagai seorang hamba Allah, jangan sesekali kita mempersoalkan tentang rancanganNya

Allah mahu beri atau belum memberi, itu atas kehendak dan kekuasaanNya. Kita tak perlu banyak mempersoalkan apa yg Allah swt dah rancangkan buat kita.Kadang kita lihat, dah kahwin bertahun-tahun takde anak, rupanya ada takdir lain yg mendatang, suami pula bermasalah. Itu tandanya Allah swt tak mahu membebankan kita. Kita kira anak itu satu-satunya pengikat kasih sayang suami. Ada terlalu ramai jangan sampai kita jadi tak terurus diri. Suami kalau ikhlas sayang, takde anak pun dia akan sayang sampai mati. Aku pernah dengar, anak dah 7 org tapi masih curang pada isteri!Hidup ini perlu banyak belajar utk mensyukuri segala nikmat yang diberi. Setiap hari ucap Alhamdulillah, terima kasih Allah sebab bagi pelbagai nikmat tak terhitung banyaknya.Terlalu runsing nak ada anak, jangan buat diri alpa bahawa Allah itu merancang dgn cintaNya. Apa yang kita tak dapat di dunia, bakal disediakan nikmat yg lebih besar di akhirat sana.Kata kuncinya, sabar. Janji Allah s.w.t itu pasti...

An 11-Year-Old Sabahan Learns Her Grandpa Has Been Raping Her During A Sex Education Class

An 11-year-old girl in Sabah, whose 50-year-old grandfather had been raping her since she was in Primary Five, never told anyone about it as she did not realise what the grandfather did was wrong

The child's lack of knowledge about what her grandfather was doing had allowed him to continue with his actions if not for a sex education class at her school.According to a report in The Star Online, the Year Five pupil confided to a teacher after realising that she had been sexually abused during a lesson about sex at school.

However, after she informed her teacher about the grandfather sexually abusing her since last year, the teacher then immediately informed the victim's mother who lodged a police report

According to Daily Express Online, a newspaper from East Malaysia, the farmer grandfather, who had been raping her since she was in Primary Five, had last raped the girl between 7pm and midnight at a house in Tenggilan, Tamparuli in February 2019.After the victim's mother lodged the police report, the grandfather was arrested.On Thursday, 21 March, the culprit was was sentenced to 27 years in jail by Kota Kinabalu Sessions Court Judge Noor Hafizah Mohd Salim.While he was ordered to serve the jail sentence from 7 March, he was spared the rotan due to his age. He was charged under Section 376 (3) of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of 30 years and whipping, Daily Express Online reported.

Following the case, Sabah Women's Action-Resource Group (SAWO) has highlighted the need for sex education in schools

Citing the case as an example, SAWO president Winnie Yee said this is why her organisation has been fighting to ensure that children, even as young as four to five years of age, should be learning about sex in schools, reported FMT.She said that while the incident was sad, it proved that sex education matters."There are many instances where adults touch children inappropriately, but children do not understand that it is wrong. We need to teach them the boundaries (of private parts), especially since the culprits are usually family members of the victims," she said.

Commenting on the case, Winnie said it was fortunate that sex education was taught in the girl's school, as without sex education classes, the girl might not have known that the rape was wrong

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, actually. During our studies in the many districts in Sabah, there were many other unreported cases. This case is certainly not unique. Many of the children simply do not understand what happened to them."At the same time, teachers have a big responsibility to be the eyes and ears (of the authorities) sometimes, and they must know how to take action when students confide in them," FMT reported her as saying, adding that sex education does not mean students are taught about sexual activities.She explained that in sex ed classes, children are taught about inappropriate behaviour, especially what to do when adults who are close to them take advantage of them.

She added that SAWO is now working towards having the state Education Department expand sex education to all schools in Sabah

According to Winnie, it is important to have a staff member, whether a teacher or counsellor, talk about sex education in school instead of an invited speaker."Every school needs to have someone who can handle and talk about these issues. This is because if the students need someone to talk to, that person in charge can take proper action immediately," she was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

The SAWO president also highlighted how there is an increasing trend of adolescent sex in Malaysia. She cited reports by various non-governmental organisations (NGOs) including one by UNICEF.

"Without correct information and skills to cope with the growth to adulthood, some adolescents and young people experiment with drugs and engage in unprotected sex, thus increasing their risk of unwanted pregnancies as well as contracting HIV, hepatitis and other sexually transmitted diseases," the UNICEF report said.

Last week, a 36-year-old Malaysian man was detained in Perth International Airport for carrying child porn on his mobile:

                A Malaysian Man Has Been Arrested In Australia For Allegedly Carrying Child Porn On Mobile

He faces 10 years in jail for the crime.
