Rata-rata pengusaha kantin juga turut terkesan dengan senarai tersebut. Ada yang mengatakan sewa kantin agak mahal dan sekiranya banyak makanan yang tidak boleh dijual, ia akan menjejaskan perniagaan mereka.Ini termasuk juga para ibu bapa yang mempersoalkan kemampuan anak-anak untuk membeli makanan-makanan sihat yang kebanyakannya lebih mahal.

Makanan seperti buah-buahan dan minuman susu kotak adalah antara jualan yang disarankan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia

The incident, which was first reported by Shin Min Daily News, happened near the Changi Airport Terminal 2 exit, when the man was ferrying a passenger last Thursday, 28 September.It was reported that the man, who was feeling unwell, was already unconscious when he was taken to the Changi General Hospital after the authorities received a call for assistance. The man, identified as Wang Yongqing, subsequently died in the hospital of natural causes.

It was learned that the 64-year-old worked two jobs a day

Wang Yongshun (left) said that this brother Wang Yongqing was working as an Uber driver until 1am for the past six months.

During the day time, Yongqing worked as a transport driver until 5pm every day. Occasionally, he would drive construction workers to their workplace.  Shin Min Daily News reported that Yongqing's brother, Wang Yongshun, as saying that Yongqing took up a second job as he had been working as an Uber driver for the past six months.According to him, Yongqing would work past 1am almost every day. Yongshun also said that Yongqing, who worked as a driver for more than 20 years, had always been healthy but he looked to be overworked for the past few weeks.

Uber Singapore has responded to incident and extended their condolences

'Indelible Ink' Used By Voters At SJK Thai Kwang In Dudong Washes Away, Claims Pemantau

While state elections are underway in Sarawak, the "indelible ink" applied on some voters who cast their ballots at SJK Thai Kwang in Dudong can already be washed off, claims Pemantau, an election watchdog set up by Bersih 2.0 and other NGOs, in a Facebook post

Image via BERSIH 2.0 [OFFICIAL]/Facebook

Malaysiakini cited Pemantau polls watch coordinator Zoe Randhawa saying that the incident was reported by one of their observers

"His wife's ink washed off. He then asked more people from that polling station, and he found two more people with ink washed off. So far, it is only for that polling station. All other reports is of ink not washing off at all," she tells Malaysiakini.

Apa Tentang Hukum Hudud Yang Perlu Saya Tahu Sebagai Seorang Islam?

Kelantan akan melaksanakan Hudud pada tahun ini. Tetapi, sejauh mana anda faham tentang hukum Hudud?

Apabila menyebut tentang hudud, ada beberapa perkara yang perlu kita fahami seperti apa itu hudud dan apa kedudukan hudud di dalam syariat Islam.

Ramai yang faham hudud sebagai hukuman potong tangan, rejam orang sampai mati, pancung, sebat dengan rotan dan salibkan seperti dalam peristiwa al-hirabah

Walau bagaimanapun, ramai yang masih lagi tidak faham apa sebenar hudud sama ada orang Islam mahupun orang bukan Islam.

Jadi, apakah itu hukum Hudud? Adakah ia hukuman yang kejam seperti yang disangka?

Image via The Rakyat Post

Para ulama menerangkan hudud sebagai “Satu hukuman yang muqaddar (telah ditentukan seperti kaedah pelaksanaan, jumlah, dan lain-lain) di sisi syarak, ke atas sesuatu maksiat yang dilakukan, tertumpu kepada perkara yang membabitkan hak Allah.”Hudud mengikut Islam adalah hukuman yang menghukum pesalah di dunia bagi meringankan hukuman di akhirat. Bagi yang fikir bahawa hukuman hudud itu kejam perlu memahami bahawa dalam Al-Quran itu sendiri telah menerangkan yang hukuman menanti di akhirat itu lebih perit dari hukuman yang dilaksanakan di dunia.

Tetapi secara logiknya, bukankah sesuatu barang yang dicuri itu boleh dikembalikan semula kepada tuannya? Jadi kenapa perlunya hukuman seperti hudud?

Jika hudud diaplikasikan, hukuman tetap mesti dilaksanakan dan ianya tidak boleh dimaafkan. Apabila laporan suatu jenayah sampai kepada pemerintah, pemerintah wajib melaksanakan hukuman tersebut.Sabda Rasullah s.a.w:“Saling memaafkanlah di antara kalian, namun jika urusannya telah diangkat kepada pemerintah maka Allah melaknat orang yang memberi syafaat (menyelesaikan tanpa melaksanakan hukuman) dan yang diberi kemaafan.” (Riwayat An-Nasa: no. 4885)

Apakah jenayah-jenayah dan hukuman-hukuman hudud?

1. Hukuman bagi penzina

Image via Arizona Foothills Magazine

Hukuman bagi penzina terbahagi kepada dua iaitu:a) Orang yang belum berkahwin b) Orang yang telah berkahwinBagi penzina yang bujang, hukumannya adalah seratus kali sebatan manakala bagi penzina yang telah berkahwin, hukuman berzina adalah rejam.Ramai ilmuwan kontemporari yang mereka melihat agak kurang sesuai hukum rejam dilaksanakan pada ketika ini dan mereka menggantikan rejam kepada hukuman ta’zir (seperti hukuman penjara). Alasan yang digunakan untuk menggantikan rejam dengan ta'zir adalah seperti iman orang pada hari ini tidak kuat, tidak mampu membaling batu dengan cepat sampai mati.Mahupun begitu, hukuman hudud adalah ketetapan Allah s.w.t dan tidak boleh diubah.Apakah syarat-syarat yang perlu ada ketika menjatuhkan hukuman zina?a) Orang yang membuat pengakuan itu hendaklah seorang yang baligh dan berakal. Pengakuannya tidak sah jika gila, mabuk dan sebagainya.b)  Iqrar (pengakuan) hendaklah dilakukan dengan pilihan sendiri, tanpa dipaksa.c) Iqrar dilakukan secara lisan dan bukan dalam bentuk tulisan, pita rakaman dan sebagainya.d) Iqrar  hendaklah dilakukan berulangkali dalam perkara zina dan liwat, iaitu sebanyak empat kali, dalam majlis yang berasingan.e) Iqrar itu dilakukan di hadapan hakim. Hakim pula perlu menunjukkan sikap tidak senang supaya orang yang beriqrar itu tidak mengulangi iqrarnya. Dalam perkara ini, bertaubat lebih baik daripada menyerah diri secara iqrar di hadapan pihak yang berkenaan.Bagaimana pula dengan syarat-syarat menjadi saksi?a) Seorang baligh dan berakal.b) Saksi mestilah seorang Islam.c) Sihat tubuh badan dan sempurna pancaindera.d) Seorang yang adil dan tidak melakukan dosa-dosa besare) Hudud bagi zina dan liwat, saksi mestilah lelaki. Saksi wanita tidak diterima.f) Seseorang yang tidak mendapat manfaat dari menjadi seorang saksi seperti saksi yang ada kaitan dengan konspirasi politik dan sebagainya.g) Mestilah cukup 4 orang saksi dan menjadi saksi pada persidangan yang sama.

2. Hukuman bagi pencuri atau perompak

Image via Romaniangraffiti

Hukuman mencuri, meragut mahupun merompak, hukumannya adalah dibunuh, disalib, dipotong tangan dan kaki mereka secara bersilang atau dibuang dari negeri. Hukuman sedemikian adalah kerana jenayah merompak boleh membawa kepada kematian.Pada zaman sekarang, seperti di Malaysia sendiri, ramai orang sering mengambil tindakan sendiri apabila menghukum penjenayah seperti kes orang ramai membelasah pesalah.Islam tidak mengajar umatnya untuk menjadi kejam. Islam mengajar kita untuk menjatuhkan hukuman dengan cara terhormat dan bukan dengan cara menghina. Hukum dari segi Syariah adalah untuk menginsafkan manusia dan bukan sekadar menakutkan orang ramai.Orang yang mencuri haruslah terus ditangkap dan tangannya perlu dipotong pada keesokan harinya. Tetapi, perlu dilihat barang apa yang dicuri. Kalau dia mencuri kereta BMW, tidak akan dipotong tangannya sebab kereta BMW tersebut bukan disimpan dalam almari. Kereta itu diletakkan di luar rumah, tidak kira ia dikunci atau tidak. Barang yang tersimpan rapi di dalam almari atau peti besi itulah yang dikira sebagai hukuman dipotong tangan.Cara hukuman hudud dilakukan jika didapati bersalah adalah dengan melaksanakan bacaan ayat Al-Quran tentang hudud, diperdengarkan kepada manusia tentang kesalahan pelakunya yang melanggar perintah Allah SWT dan Allah berkehendak agar dilaksanakan hukuman ini. Dan setelah hukuman dilaksanakan didoakan semoga Allah mengampunkan dosanya.

3. Hukuman bagi yang minum arak

Image via Royal Design

Hukuman hudud pada zaman Rasullah s.a.w adalah 40 sebatan. Pada zaman Umar r.a. pula, beliau menambah lagi 40 sebatan maka ia menjadi 80 sebatan.Hadis Nabi s.a.w, baginda bersabda yang maksudnya:“Sesiapa meminum arak maka pukullah dia, kemudian jika dia meminumnya lagi maka pukullah dia, kemudian jika dia meminumnya lagi, pukullah dia lagi, kemudian jika dia meminumnya lagi maka bunuhlah dia.” Ini kerana tidak ada manfaat lagi hidupnya (pesalah) di muka bumi. Oleh kerana itu, Umar bin Al-Khatthab r.a. berijtihad bahawasanya jika seseorang itu tidak mendengar, masih meminum arak, maka dinaikkan sedikit kadar sebatan. Asal kadar sebatan hudud yang ditetapkan adalah 40 kali sebatan. Lebih daripada 40 sebatan itu kembali kepada pemerintah di mana ia dipanggil hukum ta’zir.

4. Hukum Qadzaf iaitu menuduh seorang muslim yang lain berzina

Image via Vhijabe

Firman Allah s.w.t:“Dan orang-orang yang menuduh wanita-wanita yang suci (berbuat zina) dan mereka tidak mendatangkan empat orang-orang saksi, maka rotanlah mereka (yang menuduh itu) lapan puluh kali rotan, dan janganlah kamu terima kesaksian yang mereka buat selama-lamanya. Dan mereka itulah orang-orang yang fasik.” (Surah An-Nur: 4)

Setiap hukum Hudud perlu dilihat pada saksi dan banyak lagi perkara yang dibahaskan oleh para ulama.

Antaranya, jika tiada saksi tetapi ada qarinah (bukti lisan), adakah dijatuhkan hukum hudud ataupun ta’zir? Ada yang mengatakan hudud tidak boleh dilaksanakan kerana hudud mempunyai ketetapan maka hukum berpindah kepada ta’zir. Inilah cara Islam. Ramai yang salah faham iaitu fikir apabila ditangkap sahaja pesalah mencuri contohnya, terus dipotong tangannya.

Namun begitu, mengikut Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, ada beberapa perkara tentang Hudud yang tidak sesuai dilaksanakan pada zaman moden

Image via mynewshub

Hukum Syariah adalah sah di mana-mana sahaja dan sampai bila-bila. Walau bagaimanapun, untuk melaksanakan Syariah, ijtihad (keputusan mengikut pertimbangan) oleh ulama yang berilmu perlulah diambil kira dalam keadaan sekarang.

Bagaimana jika pesalah itu tidak berkemampuan?

Rasullah menjadikan hukum islam iaitu solat, zakat bagi yang berkemampuan. Ia bertujuan untuk kesejahteraan manusia dan menjaga hak manusia walau apa pun. Contohnya, kalau seseorang itu mencuri, macam mana pula kalau dia tidak bekerja, lapar, sakit, anak yatim, dan merupakan gelandangan? Islam perlu didahulukan sebelum hudud boleh dilaksanakan.Contoh hukum hudud bagi mencuri, sekiranya seseorang itu mencuri kerana lapar, hakim akan memanggil ketua kampung untuk bertanya mengapa dibiarkan penduduknya dalam keadaan kelaparan. Jika didapati bersalah, ketua kampung dan seluruh penduduk kampung akan didenda.Masalah hudud untuk dilaksanakan bukanlah bagaimana untuk dikendalikan tetapi cara manusia melaksanakannya iaitu melaksanakan hudud dengan cara yang salah. Rasulullah telah menyediakan umat Islam zaman moden untuk hudud.

Kesimpulannya, hukum hudud adalah untuk menjaga kesejahteraan masyarakat dan pengendaliannya adalah teratur

Segala hukuman bagi hudud akan berbalik kepada bagaimana setimpalnya hukuman ke atas seseorang itu dengan kesalahan yang telah dilakukan.Sekiranya seseorang itu melakukan kesalahan dengan hukuman yang telah ditetapkan, pihak berkuasa perlulah mencari hukuman yang ringan sebelum melakukan hudud. Oleh itu, Islam bukanlah untuk menghukum manusia. Menghukum adalah jika berlakunya kekejaman, atau rasuah iaitu hanya berlaku sebahagian daripada masyarakat.

"This Is A Malay Land" - Pasir Salak MP Argues After Claiming DAP Is Unfair To Malaysians

In the Dewan Rakyat earlier today, 25 July, Pasir Salak Member of Parliament (MP) Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman accused the Democratic Action Party (DAP) of being unfair to all races

Tajuddin claimed that DAP's support of the "Malaysian Malaysia" concept, which can be found on the party's website, strives for equality."Equality is not fairness," Tajuddin said, before claiming that Barisan Nasional helps the needy, regardless of race.

"If (DAP) wants equality, this means that the poor and incompetent will have to go up against the rich and competent," the Pasir Salak MP added."Malaysian Malaysia" was a phrase used in the early 1960s by the Malaysian Solidarity Convention, a group of political parties which opposed Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. The article guarantees and safeguards the special position of Malays and bumiputeras.

In response to Tajuddin's claim, Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong reiterated that DAP, together with the government, do provide help to Malaysia's poor and needy

Khoo also stood his ground by saying that everyone should take lessons from the country's history after the Pasir Salak MP further alleged that DAP did not mean what they say about fairness to all communities.

However, Tajuddin caused an uproar in the Dewan Rakyat when he stressed that Malaysia's history shows that the country is a "Malay land"

"You (Khoo) talk about history. (But) this is a Malay land, you know," Tajuddin said. His words were met with disagreements, particularly from Puncak Borneo MP Willie Mongin. "This is (a) Malaysian land, not Malay land," Willie replied to the Pasir Salak MP.Deputy Speaker of the house Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon then urged both Khoo and Willie to not interrupt Tajuddin in his speech.

"A Dramatic Fall From Grace" - Global Media Weighs In After Najib Was Charged In Court

A "dramatic" fall from grace indeed. Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak was taken to court earlier today, and had four charges brought against him.

Najib arrived at the Sessions Court earlier today.
Image via The Borneo Post

Najib is being charged under Section 409 of the Penal Code for three counts of criminal breach of trust, and one count of abuse of power.The ex-Prime Minister, who pleaded not guilty to all charges against him, was ordered to pay a RM1 million bail and surrender both his passports. Najib has been released on bail, according to Free Malaysia Today. He also insisted that he was innocent, and referred to the court case as "the best chance" to clear his name.

Najib's arrest and corruption charges came within two months after he lost office in the historic 14th General Election. The former premier's fate has garnered the interest of international media, and here are some of their headlines:

1. BBC

The BBC report called today's events "a dramatic fall from grace" for Najib.

2. Reuters

Tommy Thomas was reported by Reuters as saying that Najib used his position as a public official for "self gratification (for a) total of RM42 million". The report added that once Najib is convicted of abuse of power, the fine he will face is "not less than five times the value of gratification".

3. Huffington Post

Image via Huffington Post

"Najib was arrested at his home on Tuesday (3 July) as part of the investigations into 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad) revived by his successor and mentor-turned-foe Mahathir Mohamad," the article reads.

4. Wall Street Journal

Image via Wall Street Journal

"He (Najib) is no longer able to dictate events after being cast from office in a stunning election loss in May," Tom Wright and Yantoultra Ngui of Wall Street Journal wrote.

5. Al Jazeera

Image via Al Jazeera

"If convicted, each of the four charges could see the former Prime Minister jailed for up to 20 years," a part of the story reads.

6. TIME

Najib was reported by TIME as denying any wrongdoing, and blamed the government of "seeking political vengeance".

Here are the charges brought against Najib earlier today:

[NEW UPDATE] Texas Explosion: Shocked Residents Allowed To Return Home

21 April: Residents allowed home

After days of waiting, the first group of residents who fled their homes when a Texas fertilizer plant exploded in a blinding fireball were allowed to go home Saturday to find out what remained.

        cbc.ca

Those returning home have been told they will be subject to a curfew and required to be inside their homes by 7 p.m. every night. Many of the town's 2,800 residents have been displaced.

        cbc.ca

"Everything is safe. Any rumors you've heard today, forget about it," West City Council member Steve Vanek said at a news conference today. "Everything is safe, safe and safe."

        go.com

The destruction made it hard to account for exactly how many people had been displaced. McLennan County Judge  estimated that 99% of people originally thought to be missing had been accounted for.

        cnn.com

But, he added: "You can see hope in the eyes of the rescue workers. You can see already the community working to get itself back together."

        guardian.co.uk

Officials now number the dead from a Central Texas fertilizer plant explosion at 14, while residents attempt to recover some semblance of normalcy in the 2,800-person town of West.

The number included five volunteer fire fighters, four emergency responders and an off-duty fire fighter from Dallas who lived in West, the mayor told the newspaper.

        cnn.com

Rescue workers were picking through the devastation but authorities warned that the number of victims could rise, "It's going to take time before we can say that everyone is accounted for."

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives sent a national response team that includes fire investigators, explosive experts, chemists & canine units to the site.

According to Sin Chew Daily, the trio discussed about a three-way relationship after the 28-year-old man was promised by his wife that she would not cause trouble. The man had four cans of beer while the women had soft drinks before a threesome was agreed upon. He first had sexual intercourse with the suspect before proceeding to do the same with the victim. Meanwhile, his wife told him that she was going to the toilet. He fell asleep together with his mistress after a short while.

Man On Crutches Resorts To Using Stairs At LRT Station As Lift Has Been Broken Since 2021

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

A man on crutches had to resort to using the stairs at an LRT station in Kuala Lumpur, where both the lift and escalator at the premises have been broken since 2021

The man's ordeal was first shared by netizen @xXpearlyXx on Twitter before it caught the attention of person with disability (OKU) advocacy group SIUMAN. "Escalator and lift at Ampang Park (LRT station) have been broken since last year. Poor abang OKU as he had to climb the stairs," tweeted the netizen yesterday, 18 March.The photo shows the man on the staircase with his head lowered as he holds himself up with two crutches.

Image via @xXpearlyXx (Twitter)

A check by SAYS found that the netizen has lodged multiple complaints about the broken escalator and lift at the train station this year, and Rapid KL responded to them each time.

In response to the netizen's latest complaint, Rapid KL said the lift at the LRT station is still under maintenance

"Customers can ask for staff assistance at the counter. The staff can help," it replied promptly under the viral tweet.

Hai, lift di stesen Ampang Park masih lagi di dalam penyelenggaraan. Pelanggan boleh minta bantuan staff di kaunter. Staff boleh bantu.— Ask Rapid KL (@AskRapidKL) May 18, 2022

SUIMAN is upset by Rapid KL's response, stating that OKUs do not need assistance. What they need is access.

"Access is a right. It's disgusting how our society keeps spouting 'santuni OKU' (compassion for OKUs), yet does nothing to mandate universal access," the advocacy group tweeted last night."Maybe abled people don't understand this, but it's very demeaning for the disabled to have to be lifted when there is no access."The group then tagged Women, Family, and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun and Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong in the tweet."How about for Hari OKU Sedunia/Hari Batik Malaysia 2022 (thanks Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri), OKU pay full fare and Rapid KL ensures universal access?" asked SUIMAN.The public transport company under the Ministry of Finance allowed OKUs to take public transport for free for two weeks in conjunction with the International Day of Disabled Persons last year.

Many netizens agreed with SUIMAN and also criticised Rapid KL for taking a long time to fix broken facilities at LRT stations.

Below is SUIMAN's tweet on the issue:

We don't need assistance. We need access. Access is a right.It's disgusting how our society keeps spouting "santuni OKU", yet does nothing to mandate universal access.@MyRapidKLcc @weekasiongmp @RinaMohdHarun @SenatorRasAdiba @bolehspaceHT: @xXpearlyXx https://t.co/CPPKUXc1dN pic.twitter.com/6et2UYPabH— SIUMAN  | #AmendAktaOKU #DecriminaliseSuicide (@KamiSIUMAN) May 18, 2022

In November last year, a netizen's tweet about a broken escalator at an LRT station went viral as well:

Rapid KL has since responded to the issue and clarified that the maintenance of the escalator does not fall under its...

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Malam bertukar siang, hari berganti bulan, pejam celik kita sudah pun meninggalkan bulan Rejab dan Syaaban

Ini bermakna umat Islam akan menyambut tetamu agung iaitu Ramadan yang saban tahun dinanti dengan penuh kegembiraan dan pengharapan. Antara doa yang tidak lekang di bibir Nabi SAW dan diajarkan kepada kita ialah"Ya Allah, berkatilah kami pada bulan Rejab dan Syaaban, serta sampaikanlah (berkatilah) kami pada bulan Ramadan."Berdasarkan hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Musnad Imam Ahmad ini, dapat difahami bahawa 'persediaan' sebelum tibanya bulan Ramadan adalah lebih penting berbanding 'menyambut' kedatangan bulan itu sendiri, sehingga Baginda SAW menuntut kepada kita supaya mengamalkan doa terbabit bermula daripada bulan Rejab dan meneruskannya sehingga Ramadan tiba.

Image via Adzan Quranic Centre

Nabi SAW berkata: "Manusia sering lalai akan bulan yang berada di antara Rejab dan Ramadan. Bulan tersebut adalah bulan yang mana diangkat amalan-amalan kepada Allah SWT, maka aku suka ketika amalanku diangkat dalam keadaan aku sedang berpuasa."Sabda Nabi SAW ini memberikan kita gambaran mengenai keadaan umatnya apabila hampir kepada bulan Ramadan. Rata-rata umat Islam lebih fokus kepada 'sambutan' berbanding 'persediaan'.Masjid-masjid mula dihiasi dengan lampu berwarna-warni, kain rentang sambutan dengan pelbagai ucapan mula dilihat bergantungan dan seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya di Malaysia, tapak bazar akan disediakan di seluruh pelusuk negeri.Tidak ketinggalan restoran ternama dan hotel bertaraf antarabangsa akan mula mempromosikan program berbuka puasa dengan pelbagai tawaran istimewa. Televisyen dan radio turut memainkan peranan mereka dalam membuat hebahan dan menyusun siaran.

Jadikan aplikasi Waktu Solat Malaysia sebagai panduan menghadapi bulan Ramadan

Ada beberapa persediaan untuk kita semua bertemu Ramadan, ada beberapa perkara yang boleh diamalkan antaranya ialah menjaga kesihatan kita sebaik mungkin, supaya kita tidak terlepas peluang untuk melakukan ibadat. Selain itu kita juga boleh menyemak semula hukum-hukum dan amalan-amalan sunat yang digalakkan ketika berpuasa seperti membaca Al-Quran dan bersedekah.Disamping itu kita juga boleh memperbanyakkan doa sebagai persediaan membersihkan hati dan jiwa. Mujahadah untuk bangun malam juga merupakan satu persediaan yang baik untuk diamalkan agar fizikal dan mental kita tersedia dengan sangat baik sebeelum menjelangnya Ramadan.

Persediaan menuju Ramadan menjadi lebih seronok dengan satu aplikasi yang mudah. Antara aplikasi yang sangat di cadangkan adalah Aplikasi Waktu Solat Malaysia. Dalam Aplikasi ini ada banyak features yang kita boleh manfaatkan untuk belajar membaca Al-Quran, jadi mudah untuk seseorang itu perbaiki bacaan Al-Quran mereka sebelum datangnya Ramadan.Marilah kita sama-sama menjadikan Aplikasi Waktu Solat Malaysia sebagai panduan dan semangat untuk kita belajar secara berterusan membaca Al-Quran. Insya-Allah, dengan cara itu kita akan sentiasa upgrade cara pembacaan kita semua.

M'sian Man Shocked With Plate Of Nasi Campur That Costs RM45

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

A man received the shock of his life when he was told that his plate of mixed rice totalled an eye-watering RM45

The incident was originally posted on social media platform Xiaohongshu by the man's girlfriend, who stated that she took one look at his plate and said it was going to be an expensive meal, reported Sin Chew Daily."He didn't believe it," she wrote. "He was shocked when it was time to pay — RM45 for a plate of mixed rice!"Based on the receipt, the man paid for the exorbitantly priced meal on 29 October 2021. However, the story gained traction after it made its rounds online.

Image via Sin Chew Daily

The image she posted showcased a plate of rice with onion omelette (RM3) and pandan leaf chicken (RM4.50), with the priciest dishes on the list being petai prawn (RM10), sotong (RM8), and otak-otak (RM9), which drove up the price tremendously.

Image via Sin Chew Daily

While it may seem reasonable after studying the bill, what with the amount and type of dishes he selected, it's still a little shady that petai prawn with no visible prawns can cost RM10, and four pieces of sotong cost RM8.

Veteran mamak-goers chimed in, giving the poor(er) man some advice when it comes to getting the best bang for your buck when ordering nasi campur

The overall consensus was: Do not get seafood!

"As soon as I saw the sotong, I knew it was going to be expensive. When you go out, don't order fish, crab, sotong, and others of the like. Instead, get chicken, eggs, and vegetables. These are the cheapest things on the market now," one user advised.

Image via 马来西亚星洲日报 Malaysia Sin Chew Daily (Facebook)

"When you eat at a mamak, whatever you do, do not get the udang or sotong. Firstly, it won't be fresh. Secondly, even if you order only a little bit, it'll cost you RM10 at least."

Image via 马来西亚星洲日报 Malaysia Sin Chew Daily (Facebook)

"You've got sotong, petai udang, chicken, egg, and otak-otak. What an opulent meal. If you don't know the price of things when ordering, you might as well eat grass," another user remarked sarcastically.

Bercakap kepada rancangan itu, Gregg berkata:"Saya tidak bermaksud ia harus digoreng, seperti ayam goreng. Apa yang saya maksudkan ialah hidangan itu tidak cukup masak. Ia tidak dimasak dengan betul. Isinya putih dan lembab."Dia (Zaleha) tersingkir bukan kerana kulit ayamnya tidak rangup. Dia tersingkir kerana tukang masak lain lebih bagus. Tukang masak yang terbaik pastinya akan melangkah ke hadapan."

"Rangup adalah perkataan yang salah, tetapi kulit itu tidak cukup masak"

Court Sentences 529 Egyptians To Death In 5-Minute Session. Here's What You Should Know

Egypt Court Confirms Death Sentences For 183 Muslim Brotherhood Supporters

×

An Egyptian court confirmed death sentences on Saturday against the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and 182 supporters in a mass trial of the Islamists who ruled Egypt for a year but face a fierce crackdown under the new president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

        bbc.com

The Brotherhood leader, Mohamed Badie, and other defendants were charged in connection with violence that erupted in the southern town of Minya after the military ousted President Mohamed Morsi, a Brotherhood leader, last July. One police officer was killed in the violence.

        nytimes.com

The court’s decision came two months after it referred the case against Mr. Badie, the spiritual leader of the now-outlawed Brotherhood, and 682 other defendants to a top religious authority, the first step in imposing death penalties. Those preliminary sentences set off outrage among Western governments and rights groups, with the United States and European Union both saying they were appalled by the rulings.

        thenews.com.pk

Since Mr. Morsi’s overthrow, which was followed by protests by his supporters, hundreds of Islamist protesters have been killed and thousands jailed in a crackdown by security forces. Five hundred army and police officers have also been killed.

An Egyptian court handed down a death sentence on the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and 682 supporters, intensifying a crackdown on the movement that could trigger protests and political violence ahead of an election next month.

A death penalty for Mohamed Badie, the Brotherhood's general guide, will infuriate members of the Brotherhood which has been the target of raids, arrests and bans since President Mohamed Mursi was forced from power by the military in July.

37 Other Death Sentences Were Also Handed Down As Part Of A Final Judgment On 529 Supporters

Egyptian women overcome by emotion fall to the ground after a judge sentenced to death more than 680 alleged supporters of the country’s ousted Islamist president over acts of violence and the murder of policemen in the latest mass trial in the southern city of Minya, Egypt, Monday, April 28, 2014.

The 37 death sentences were part of a final judgement on 529 Muslim Brotherhood supporters who were sentenced to death last month (March 2014).

The Biggest Trials In Egypt's Modern History Have Reinforced Fears Among Human Rights Groups

Mass trials in the biggest Arab state have reinforced fears among human rights groups that the military-backed government and anti-Islamist judges are using all levers of power to crush dissent.

Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director for Middle East and North Africa at Human Rights Watch.

"The decisions are possibly the largest possible death sentences in recent world history. While they're exceptional in scale, they're certainly not exceptional in kind," said Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director for Middle East and North Africa at Human Rights Watch.

        yahoo.com

"It seems that these sentences are aimed at striking fear and terror into the hearts of those who oppose the interim government including the interim government," added Sarah.

The authorities have branded the Brotherhood a terrorist group, an allegation it denies.

Authorities have cracked down harshly on Islamists since Mr Morsi was removed by the military in July. Hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested.

The death sentences are not final and appeals are likely; similar sentences have often been commuted in Egypt. But families of the accused and rights lawyers described the process as a miscarriage of justice.

It Was Also One Of The Quickest Cases In The History Of Egypt's Judiciary As It Came Only After Two Court Sessions

The court in Minya, south of the capital, Cairo, issued its ruling after only two sessions in which the defendants' lawyers complained they had no chance to present their case.

“This is the quickest case and the number sentenced to death is the largest in the history of the judiciary,” said lawyer Nabil Abdel Salam, who defends some Brotherhood leaders including Morsi.

“This has never happened in the history of the Egyptian judiciary, or the history of any judiciary, as far as I know,” said Mohamed Zera, a lawyer with the Cairo-based Human Rights Center for the Assistance of Prisoners.

The Session Only Lasted About Five Minutes And None Of The Defendants Were Listened To

The session only lasted for five minutes, and during those five minutes none of the lawyers or the defendants were listened to – not even the prosecution. The judge just came in to acquit the 16 men and sentence to death the others.

"This verdict is a disaster. To rule in the second session of a trial – it means the judge didn't hear the defence or look at the evidence. Even someone from the second grade of the law faculty would never have issued this verdict – it goes against the basic principles of criminology," added Mohamed Zera.

"We're certainly raising it with the Egyptian government ... it's a pretty shocking number," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said of the sentences. "It defies logic that over 529 defendants could be tried in a two-day period in accordance with international standards."

"We did not expect such a brutal sentence. But at the same time this military regime just wants to kill anybody who wants to express an opinion.

[VIDEOS] M'sian Flood Victims Vouch For Foreigners Who Helped Save Their Lives

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

Two videos showing Malaysian flood victims defending and thanking foreign workers for saving them during the disaster over the weekend have gone viral on social media

Of the two, one video shows a woman in a headscarf talking earnestly to Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar about how flood victims in Hulu Langat, Selangor were saved by Indonesian workers.She says the authorities who were present at the flood sites during the critical moment were three boats from the Civil Defence Department (JPAM), before telling Noh Omar that it is "common sense" that the deployment was not enough to save everyone in the area."All the government agencies did not show up when we were in a critical situation," she tells the minister during his visit to a flood relief centre in SMK Abdul Jalil in Hulu Langat on 22 December."They only came when the water had receded. Why only come when the water had receded?"

Waters reached roof level in Taman Sri Nanding, Hulu Langat.

According to her, it was three Indonesian men who came in a boat to rescue the residents, which included children, trapped on the roof of a house

She says the Indonesian men worked until the wee hours of the morning to rescue the people trapped in her home.

			It was them who saved us. Foreigners.
        The flood victim

The video was uploaded to Twitter by several netizens.One re-uploaded video posted by Zulkiflee Anwar Alhaque, or more popularly known as Zunar Cartoonist, was viewed over 1.6 million times and had more than 46,000 retweets.

Nah, ambik kau! pic.twitter.com/m0dATHSuwd— Zunar Cartoonist (@zunarkartunis) December 21, 2021

Meanwhile, a two-minute long video showing two women, who identified themselves as aunt and niece, also regarded migrants as heroes during the crisis

The aunt begins by describing how flood victims stayed united to feed themselves while being stranded in Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam.She says a resident carried up a gas tank to a roof for a neighbour who wanted to prepare fried rice for stranded victims.After the fried rice was prepared, the niece then chimes in and says it was Indonesians who delivered the food to others trapped on their respective roofs."They were like GrabExpress delivery people, who were floating (in floodwaters) with tyres," the niece recounts."They threw water bottles, they climbed up to our roofs to give us food to calm us down because (at that time) we didn't have any food left."

Image via Reuters

The aunt says it was pointless to hope for the authorities to rescue them, as in the end, it was the rakyat, Indonesians, and Bangladeshis who saved each other

She says she will never forget the moment, before explaining how some people do not treat Bangladeshis with respect, but during the crisis, they risked their lives to save Taman Sri Muda residents."During the floods, the Bangladeshis put their lives at risk. They took food from Mydin and gave it to the people," the aunt continues."But today I saw people saying they stole. But why are they stealing during floods? You all weren't there to see.""Children were crying, and they gave instant noodle packets to them."

These two accounts are not isolated cases. In a Twitter thread, @emmelynnamal compiled all the netizens' stories of how foreigners lent Malaysians a helping hand during the floods.

One video shows Burmese swimming to a house to distribute instant noodles, while another tweet recounted how their family member might not have made it if it were not because of Burmese taking them to safety.

https://t.co/FkfyRaFlSL— Emmelynn | Amaline (@emmelynnamal) December 22, 2021

Seeing a trend, Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) president Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman urged Malaysians not to despise foreigners as one day, the rakyat will need their help.Marina Mahathir, too, lauded them for repaying Malaysians with more compassion even though "we deny our migrant workers their humanity".

Tawar Cluster Now Has More Active COVID-19 Cases Than The Sivaganga Cluster In Kedah

Malaysia reported 12 new COVID-19 cases yesterday, 17 August, with most of the cases arising from the Tawar cluster in Kedah, which was first identified last Wednesday, 12 August

According to Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, four of the new Tawar cluster cases were detected in Kedah, while another three were found in Penang."The cases found in Penang are of the third generation," he said in a statement.This brought the total number of cases in this cluster to 46, surpassing the Sivaganga cluster to become the current largest cluster of active cases in the country.

The Tawar cluster is linked to a funeral held on 31 July and 1 August

The cluster emerged after the index case, a 53-year-old businessman from Kedah, attended the funeral ceremony of a deceased family member.He only tested positive for the coronavirus on 12 August after seeking medical attention for a fever and chest pains.The MOH has since tracked his movements and carried out active case detection of several of his family members who had attended the funeral and later tested positive. The ministry has screened over 1,135 people, with 251 test results still pending in Kedah, Penang, and Perak.The four new cases in Kulim, Kedah involved a teacher and three classmates of a 13-year-old girl, who is a family member of the index case.In Penang, the three cases were visitors of two different patients at a private hospital, who caught the virus from another patient who happened to have close contact with this index case from Kedah.

Out of the remaining five latest cases, three more are local transmissions while two are imported cases from Syria and the Philippines

On the local transmissions, Dr Noor Hisham said one was a case detected in Selangor during screening at Sungai Buloh Hospital and two are from the Sala cluster, which is another new cluster in Kedah that currently has a total of six confirmed patients.The country's cumulative COVID-19 tally now stands at 9,212 cases.

This Teacher's Nasi Kerabu-Inspired Maggi Goreng Recipe Was Named The Best In Malaysia

This Spotlight is sponsored by MAGGI.

Everyone loves a good plate of MAGGI goreng!
Who can deny the sedapness of these springy noodles covered in spicy sauce, topped with an oozing telur mata kerbau, served with a side of cili potong kicap and fresh lime. Yummm!

You can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (and of course, supper!). It's no wonder Maggi goreng is a popular menu item at mamaks.It's so versatile that there are countless ways you can cook it to make it a little bit more special.

In search of the best MAGGI goreng recipe out there, MAGGI challenged Malaysian home cooks to show off their best recipes in hopes to become MAGGI's Raja Ratu Mi Maggi Goreng 2019

Image via MAGGI

In this #MAGGIgorengMYstail challenge, Malaysians were tasked to create their own interpretations of MAGGI goreng using MAGGI's 2-Minute Noodles (that's usually enjoyed as mi sup).

They successfully received over 760 impressive entries in just a short span of 5 weeks, and boy it got us all drooling!
Check out some of the tantalising entries below:

Look up for their hashtag #MAGGIgorengMYstail on all social media platforms to see more creative MAGGI goreng dishes from our fellow Malaysians

From all the drool-worthy entries, MAGGI shortlisted the three best recipes.
The chosen home cooks then had to go through a final cook-off at MyTown Cheras on 6 September to decide whose recipe reigns higher above all!

The three selected recipes were:

MAGGI Goreng Ulam by Norizah Husain from Selangor.

MAGGI Goreng Bunga Telang by Hafiza Abu Muaddah from Johor.

MAGGI Goreng Kam Heong by Norul Aimy Abdul Halim from Pahang.

The home cooks were given 15 minutes to recreate and impress the judges with their own creative interpretations of MAGGI goreng

The cook-off was judged by CEO of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, Mr Juan Arnols, Business Executive Office, MAGGI, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, Ms. Geetha Balakrishna, MAGGI Noodles ambassador Sheila Rusly, and Nestlé Malaysia's Corporate Chef, Abdul Muluk.

While the dishes were all impressive, only one home cook could be crowned the winner.
Check out the final dishes of the two runners-ups:

For her love for spicy food, Norul Aimy Abdul Halim made her MAGGI goreng in the style of kam heong chicken, a fragrant Chinese cuisine that's beloved by many Malaysians.Using MAGGI's 2-Minute Curry Noodle, she brought her MAGGI goreng to the next level by stir-frying it with lots of chili, chunks of juicy chicken, as well as other flavourings such as oyster sauce, tomato sauce, and sweet soy sauce.

Image via MAGGI (edited by says)

In her reinterpretation of MAGGI's 2-Minute Tom Yam Noodles, Norizah Husain made her version of MAGGI goreng by stir-frying her noodles with a medley of fragrant local ulam-ulaman and herbs - creating a tasty dish that's reminiscent of a staple Nyonya dish, nasi ulam.

While it was a close call, the dish that ultimately tantalised the most taste buds and won the competition was the unique MAGGI goreng bunga telang

Image via MAGGI (edited by SAYS)

Inspired by our Malaysian favourite nasi kerabu, this teacher from Johor created her dish using MAGGI's 2-Minute Curry Noodles as a base.To get the vibrant natural blue tint, she simply boiled her noodles in butterfly pea flower-infused water. She then stir-fried her noodles in aromatics like garlic and red chili, before adding a handful of ulam-ulaman that is traditionally served in nasi kerabu.

Image via imgur.com

Her creativity and effort to elevate a humble plate MAGGI goreng into a restaurant-worthy dish definitely paid-off as she was crowned Ratu Mi Maggi Goreng Malaysia 2019.

Congratulations to Puan Hafiza Abu Muaddah and all the contestants for a job well done!

Creating Organs From Scratch... 3D Printed Human Heart To Be A Reality Within A Decade

A team of cardiovascular scientists is saying that they will be able to print an entire human heart from a patient's own cells within 10 years

A team of experts has claimed they will be able to make whole hearts for use in transplant surgery using the recipients’ cells within a decade.

        sundaytimes.lk

Dr Stuart Williams claims he and his colleagues have already created a coronary artery and that they have 3D printed some of the small blood vessels in the heart.

        dailymail.co.uk

"America put a man on the Moon in less than a decade. I said a full decade to provide some wiggle room," Stuart K Williams told Wired.co.uk.

        wired.co.uk

Dr Stuart Williams (pictured) claims he and his colleagues have already created a coronary artery and that they have 3D printed some of the small blood vessels in the heart.

He told the website: ‘These studies have reached the advanced preclinical stage showing printed blood vessels will reconnect with the recipient tissue creating new blood flow in the printed tissue.’

The team at the University of Louisville’s Cardiovascular Innovation Institute are developing special 3D printers for the creation of artificial hearts

They will initially be used to print individual component parts of a heart but the team believe they will eventually be able to print the whole organ in about three hours.

This will include printing heart muscle, blood vessels, valves and electrical tissue.
They say that once the heart is printed, it will need about a week to ‘mature’ before it is given to the recipient.

Teguran Seorang Lelaki Tentang Makanan Yang Dimasak Oleh Non-Muslim Di Penang

Bila bercakap tentang food hunting, pastinya tempat-tempat yang popular adalah Pulau Pinang, Ipoh, Kelantan, dan juga Melaka. Makanan yang disediakan pun memang sedap-sedap belaka!

Namun, pernahkan anda terfikir sama ada semua makanan popular yang sering dimakan ini berstatus halal atau tidak?Adakah semua masakan itu terjamin halal dan suci?Seperti perkongsian berbentuk teguran yang ditulis oleh seorang pengguna Facebook iaitu Azdy Mohd Arshad mengenai isu ini telah meraih lebih 10k shares ketika artikel ini ditulis.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Teguran ini juga telah disuarakan bagi memastikan bahawa makanan yang dihidangkan adalah bersih, suci dan dimasak oleh tukang masak yang sepatutnya

Kepada sahabat2 yg datang bercuti ke Penang, maaflah kalau saya nak tegur sikit dan bagi cadangan. Saya perhatikan sebelum ini ada di kalangan sahabat2 yg datang Penang kemudian kongsikan dlm FB apa yg dimakan. Agak menyedihkan bila ada yg muat naik dlm FB dgn makan cendol dan laksa TeoChew di Jalan Penang, curry mee dan mcm2 masakan yg dimasak oleh bukan Islam di Kedai Kopi Bee Hwa, makan bihun goreng di kedai Auntie Taman Tun Sardon, minum kopi ais, ais kepai, rojak buah di sekitar kawasan Heritage, makan nasi lemak di Projek Nasi Lemak dan beberapa lagi.

Sedih bila tengok ibu mengandung, anak-anak kecil, malah warga emas yang turut menjamu semua masakan ini tanpa ada rasa bersalah walau sedikit

Kesian kat anak2 yang tak tahu apa2 bila ibubapa meyuapkan makanan kepada anak2 ini dengan makanan yg status "halal" dan "suci" yang meragukan bila mana makanan tersebut disediakan oleh bukan Islam...Nak cendol sedap boleh ja makan di ais tingkap chowrasta, Cendol Maklom di Pekan Darat Butterworth atau cendol durian di Sg Ara...Nak makan charketiau boleh ja makan di Sany Char Koay Teow di Bayan Baru, Char Koay Teaw Telur Ayam dibasuh di Sg Dua, Key's Char Koay Teow di Bandar Perda BM, Sinar Bintang di Astaka Lorong Kulit (pagi) dan banyak lagi...Kalau teringin makan laksa, boleh ja makan Laksa Mamu Sg. Pinang (sebelah mee mamak Afasia), Laksa Janggus di Balik Pulau, laksa di Medan Selera Pdg. Kota, laksa tempurung di Gertak Sanggul dan banyak lagi. Nak makan nasi lemak, boleh pi makan nasi Lemak Liverpool di Batu Lanchang. Kalau suka makan curry mee, curry mee Kak Arah di Jalan Sungai Pinang (bertentang bangunan JKP) pun ok jugak.. Nak koay teow sup atau koay teow th'ng boleh makan kat Sg. Ara (coner tepi SMK Sg. Ara), depan TNB Lorong Kulit atau Sri Buana di astaka Taman Tun Sardon..

"Bukan rasis, sekadar menasihati saudara sesama Islam untuk mencari makanan yang dijamin halal dan suci tanpa was-was."

Tak payah la kot dok makan makanan atau masakan bukan Islam... Saya bukannya rasis tapi sekadar menasihati saudara seIslam untuk mencari makanan yang dijamin "halal" dan "suci" serta tanpa "was-was"... Kesian saya kat sahabat2 yang datang dari jauh tiba2 makan makanan yang "shubahah".Kalau nak beli barang dgn penjual bukan Islam, silakan. Tak menjadi masalah kerana barang tersebut tak beh jadi darah daging kita... Tapi dalam bab makanan berhati-hatilah...Kalau sapa nak terima teguran dan pandangan saya, terima kasih saya ucapkan. Kepada yang kurang senang dengan tulisan saya ni, saya minta maaf. Jangan marah ye. Sekurang-kurangnya saya dah menasihati saudara seIslam dengan saya dalam hal ini...

"Makan Kat Kedai Sedap, Bila Bungkus Jadi Tak Sedap" - Ciri-Ciri Restoran Itu Ada Pelaris!

Bagi anda yang gemar makan di luar rumah, berhati-hati dalam mencari tempat makan kerana boleh jadi makanan yang anda makan itu mengandungi bahan pelaris

Walaupun niat sebenar pengusaha kedai makan itu adalah agar pelanggan menyukai makanan yang dijualnya, namun tidak mustahil sekiranya proses pemasaran tersebut melibatkan jin peludah yang sangat menjijikkan.

Image via Blog Pelaris Dagangan 99

Bahkan, penggunaan perkhidmatan makhluk jijik ini bukan sahaja pada gerai atau warung tepi jalan, tetapi juga berlaku dan digunakan di restoran-restoran besar.Makhluk itu dipanggil jin peludah kerana sebelum ia akan meludah kepada sesuatu makanan itu sebelum disajikan kepada pelanggan, agar pelanggan akan merasa ketagih untuk kembali datang ke kedai makan itu.Bukan itu sahaja, kadang-kadang jin peludah turut menjilat pinggan mangkuk yang digunakan pelanggan yang mana proses ini dikatakan memberi tambahan perasa kepada makanan yang ingin disajikan.

Image via Google

Kesan kepada perkara ini adalah, walaupun ia membuat makanan itu menjadi lebih enak namun ia turut memberi tenaga negatif untuk memasuki tubuh badan orang yang memakannya lalu menyebabkan pelanggan berasa sakit perut dan muntah beberapa jam selepas memakannya.

Melalui satu perkongsian thread di laman Twitter @creepyposta, laman itu telah menjelaskan beberapa ciri kedai makan yang menggunakan khidmat jin peludah atau pelaris.

PELARIS - Hantu atau Jin Peludah sering digunakan sebagai pelaris kedai makan. Dipanggil ‘peludah’ kerana sebelum disajikan kepada pelanggan, makanan akan diludahi terlebih dahulu oleh hantu sehingga berasa terlalu enak dan ketagihan Ada kisah pelaris?Kongsikan. pic.twitter.com/7RqFqrwGlB— creepyposta (@creepyposta) January 23, 2019

Forever 21 Is Closing Down Most Of Its Stores In Asia As It Files For Bankruptcy

Following its recent filing for bankruptcy, fashion retailer Forever 21 will be shutting down most of its stores in Asia and Europe

On Sunday, 29 September, the apparel company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, CNBC reported.The New York Times revealed that it will likely close down about 350 stores across 40 countries.

Image via Philip Pessar/Flickr/NST

The company, which has over 800 stores worldwide, has been facing online shopping competition as well as expensive rent and debt

With the change in shopping habits, mall traffic has declined and traditional retailers have struggled to stay afloat."This was an important and necessary step to secure the future of our company, which will enable us to reorganise our business and reposition Forever 21," its executive vice president Linda Chang said in a statement, as reported by USA Today.

Image via Getty/Business Insider

Forever 21 was founded in 1984 by South Korean immigrants Do Won Chang and his wife, Jin Sook — who still run the chain store today

Their first store was called Fashion 21 and was located in Los Angeles. The chain store focuses on selling apparel to teens and young adults.It continued to expand the number of stores throughout the globe, even as recently as 2016.

"We went from seven countries to 47 countries within a less-than-six-year time frame and with that came a lot of complexity," daughter of the founders Linda Chang told The New York Times."The retail industry is obviously changing — there has been a softening of mall traffic and sales are shifting more to online."With that said, Forever 21 added that it would continue to honour gift cards, returns, and exchanges.

Meanwhile, here are iconic places in Malaysia that we will soon lose as well:

Devastating Photos Show How Cancer Stole This 33-Year-Old Malaysian's Life In 39 Days

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Malaysian photojournalist Ahmad Yusni documented his younger brother Mohammad Sani’s battle with cancer, only days after he was diagnosed with cancer

Mohammad Sani, 33, pictured sitting in a wheelchair in a hospital toilet in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia, on December 12, 2013, after being diagnosed with a 'germ cell tumour'

He was only 33 years-old, but the rare cancer destroyed his body so quickly. The collection of images reveal in vivid detail 33-year-old Mohammad's pain and suffering as the rare condition ravages his body right up until the moment he died.

        dailymail.co.uk

Mohammad is pictured here in 2010. By the time he found out he had a 'germ cell tumour' in November 2013, it was already a considerable size, blocking both his kidneys and his frontal stomach

'Then, in 2013, we found out that my younger brother had a critical stage cancer called "germ cell tumour". From our conversation with the doctor, we learned that the cancer was considerable, blocking his kidneys and frontal stomach.'

        dailymail.co.uk

Mohammad is pictured at his home in Georgetown, Penang on 11 December 2013, shortly after he was diagnosed

Ahmad told how his brother was in constant pain because of his condition, which is clearly visible in the photos he took of him.

'It caused him constant pain even though the doctor had provided him with the strongest morphine,' Ahmad recalls.
'He was unable to lie on a bed to sleep even for a few minutes. Due to complications he could neither eat nor drink.
'A surgery to remove an infection left him in even more agony.'

Ahmad reveals he had already lost a father and another sibling when his younger brother Mohammad was diagnosed with a 'germ cell tumour'.
He said: 'We lost two loved ones in two consecutive years (2011 and 2012), my dear father and brother. It was really painful for our family.

Even morphine failed to ease Mohammad's constant pain in his back which made it impossible for him to sleep. He is pictured here smoking a cigarette in a hospital lavatory.

Ahmad said: 'It was very heart-wrenching for me to see him struggle and not be able to help him. Two long nights watching him at the hospital made me cry.'

Mohammad constantly struggled with pain. He was left unable to eat or drink.

He said: 'I lost hope that he would recover due to many complications. I found my prayers to God changing: "God, please stop his pain, even death is the only choice, I can't stand to see his suffering anymore".'

Saying goodbye: Mohammad is pictured in his coffin as the final preparations are made for his funeral in his hometown of Parit Buntar on 28 December 2013

He remained strong right up until the moment he died despite his awful suffering. 'Even through this long and painful battle, he said thank you to me and told me that he loved me,' Ahamd said.

'Deep in my heart, I felt he would leave us soon when he told me that our father and brother had called upon him for three consecutive nights to join the, in his dreams. 'Then, on an early Saturday morning, he left us forever. His heartbeat dropped dramatically. Although sad, the expression on his face showed that he had found a peaceful, deep sleep.'
