A Caucasian woman in Kuala Lumpur has been slapped with two compounds totalling RM3,000 for refusing to wear a face mask and not scanning the MySejahtera code at a Dior boutique in Suria KLCC

The woman was compounded earlier today, 31 October.Wang Wangi district police chief ACP Noor Dellhan Yahaya said the woman was compounded RM1,500 for each of the two offences after the investigation into the SOPs violation case was completed."The first compound notice is for failing to scan with MySejahtera app before entering premises, and the second is for failing to wear a face mask," Noor Dellhan said in a statement.

The woman had also caused a stir at Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC)

While confirming that the Caucasian woman was the same woman who was at KLCC Suria and later tried to enter BSC without wearing a mask, Brickfields district police chief ACP Amihizam Abdul Shukor said that they have identified the woman and are currently investigating the case.

The Caucasian woman was first seen arguing with Dior boutique employees while refusing to wear a mask in a viral video

In the video which was uploaded on Twitter on 27 October, she can be heard saying that she was threatened by an employee at the door while she was trying to enter the Dior boutique."When I went to walk in, he put his hands on me and pushed me!" she said, adding that the employee "can't stop" her as they "don't own the shop" and moreover because Malaysia is "a free country".

Her behaviour prompted the word 'Karen' to trend on Twitter

Dictionary.com states that 'Karen' is a pejorative slang term for an obnoxious, angry, entitled, and an often racist middle-aged white woman who uses her privilege to get her way or police other people's behaviours.

Jana Elektrik & 5 Lagi Fungsi Empangan Di Malaysia Yang Mungkin Ramai Tak Tahu. Powerlah!

Kalau sebut sahaja tentang empangan, perkara pertama yang bermain di fikiran mesti fungsinya yang menjana elektrik

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Iluminasi

Tapi tahukah anda sebenarnya tak semua empangan di Malaysia berfungsi untuk menjana elektrik. Setiap empangan dibina dengan ciri-ciri khusus bagi memudahkan kehidupan seharian, bukan untuk jana elektrik je.Di Malaysia terdapat 103 buah empangan yang dikendalikan oleh agensi yang berbeza seperti Jabatan Pengaliran dan Saliran (JPS), Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), syarikat air negeri dan lain-lain lagi.

Kami ingin berkongsi serba sedikit tentang fungsi lain empangan yang ramai terlepas pandang

1. Empangan sebagai penjana elektrik

Image via Iluminasi

Bentuk muka bumi Malaysia yang unik dan berbukit-bukau menjadikan Malaysia negara yang bertuah kerana mempunyai sumber alam yang berterusan. Potensi sumber semula jadi seperti air di Malaysia berjaya dimanfaatkan untuk keselesaan semua pihak.Sebagai contoh, Skim Hidroelektrik Terengganu yang membabitkan empangan Puah dan Tembat seluas 7,197 hektar ini. Selain membekalkan tenaga elektrik sejak Disember 2015, projek ini juga membantu kerajaan negeri dan rakyat Terengganu ketika banjir dan musim kemarau.

2. Mengalirkan air ke kawasan yang kering

Image via Google

Di kawasan Penampang dan Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, empangan Babagon terbukti dapat membantu penduduk ketika mereka mengalami masalah kemarau panjang seperti yang berlaku pada awal tahun 1997. Dengan adanya empangan itu, penduduk di kawasan tersebut takkan terputus bekalan air walaupun bekalan yang diterima terpaksa dicatu.Pembinaan empangan bukan saja berfungsi untuk mengawal banjir, membentuk dan membekalkan air, malah turut memainkan peranan dalam penghasilan sumber hidroelektrik.

3. Pusat rekreasi berasaskan air

Image via Google

Pada asalnya tasik ini diwujudkan untuk tujuan kawasan tadahan air sekitar 1980-an. Bagaimanapun, paras air di Sungai Kenyir naik mendadak berikutan pembinaan empangan Jenagor hingga menenggelamkan sembilan perkampungan, hutan, bukit dan gunung.

Image via Google

Penduduk mengambil inisiatif atas apa yang berlaku dengan menjadikan kawasan ini sebagai kawasan rekreasi dan sangat terkenal sebagai destinasi memancing utama di Malaysia. Tasik Kenyir juga mempunyai kawasan air terjun yang popular di seperti Air Terjun Lasir, Air Terjun Saok, Air Terjun Tembat dan Air Terjun Pertam.

4. Pengurusan air minuman

Image via Google

Empangan juga berfungsi sebagai pembekal air bersih yang menjadi sumber kegunaan harian seperti membasuh baju, memasak dan air minuman.

5. Berfungsi sebagai tebatan banjir

Image via Berita Harian

Setiap kali tiba hujung tahun, penduduk Pantai Timur pastinya risau dengan musim tengkujuh yang mungkin menyebabkan banjir. Bencana alam ini bukan saja mengakibatkan kerosakkan harta benda malah membahayakan nyawa. Dengan adanya empangan, kesan akibat banjir dapat dikurangkan.Buat masa sekarang, Kelantan hanya ada empangan Pergau yang berfungsi sebagai tadahan air dan penjana elektrik. Namun, bila tiba musim tengkujuh empangan ini tak mampu menampung lebihan air dan menyebabkan limpahan air dan banjir besar.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad siap siaga hadapi musim tengkujuh

Image via Google

Tiga empangan Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) dalam keadaan bersiap sedia menghadapi musim tengkujuh iaitu empangan hidroelektrik di Tasik Kenyir, Terengganu, Cameron Highlands, Pahang dan Sungai Perak, Perak.TNB turut memberikan beberapa siri taklimat persediaan dan latihan kecemasan di stesen hidroelektrik dan pejabat operasi TNB dilaksanakan bagi meningkatkan kecekapan anggota terlibat menghadapi musim tengkujuh ini.Persediaan dilakukan bersama pihak berkuasa tempatan serta agensi berkaitan bagi memastikan proses pelepasan air secara terkawal di beberapa empangan hidroelektik mengikut Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP).

Orang ramai yang ingin mengetahui maklumat lanjut mengenai perkhidmatan dan bekalan elektrik, boleh hubungi talian TNB CareLine - 1-5454 atau Facebook TNB Careline.


Netizens Call Out Residents Of Selangor Apartment For Petitioning To Ban Africans

Here's what residents of Selangor apartment have to say about the petition to ban Africans

In a statement sent to SAYS on 30 April, a representative for the residents said, "We tried our best to make peace with them and live in harmony, but it just didn't work."The man revealed that certain residents had caused disturbances to the point where neighbours complained on a weekly basis."We were not facing problems with all foreigners. Residents of African ethnicity caused a majority of the problems," he said.Examples of disturbances include intimidating female residents, working out topless in the gym, not registering to use the barbecue pit, making too much noise at night while partying, and falling asleep on the corridors after drinking.

According to the statement, it was irresponsible drinking that led to the incident on 21 April.
"The fight was so bad that they beat up our guards, broke our glass doors," the man wrote.

Image via Twitter

Block C residents came up with the petition after several attempts to deal with the problematic residents via their landlords.After local residents married to foreigners of African ethnicity quickly voiced their displeasure, they "amended our petition to allow certain clauses for special cases."

The representative explained that the petition would not be carried out if not for disturbing incidents

"We are all Malaysians, and we want the best outcome for everyone, even if it meant doing something like this," he said."Be it locals or foreigners, if they cause a ruckus at our home, action will be taken," he added.

It was previously reported that a netizen took to Twitter to share about the racism faced by African tenants in her apartment complex in Bandar Saujana Putra, Selangor

Image via Locanto

"The people in my apartment complex in Saujana Putra are extremely racist and are calling for a ban of African tenants for no reason," she wrote in a tweet on 28 April.

Natasha shared that her tenant, a Nigerian student, was concerned for his safety after fellow residents complained that "black monkeys" are destroying the apartment's "good name"

"They call us black monkeys, they call us negroes, they call us chimpanzees," the man, identified as Precious, told his landlady in a WhatsApp voice note."Are we the only Africans staying in Malaysia? Why this hatred? If they travelled around the world and are treated this way, would they be happy?" he said.

My tenant sent me a screenshot of owners from the apartment calling them names and complaining that “black monkeys” are destroying the good name of the apartment. I am so sad for him. They’ve put up a call to ban all African tenants. He is scared for his safety! pic.twitter.com/LLP4qNthix— MarieJualKondo  (@natashagideon) April 28, 2019

"If they could reduce the level of hate, then this would be a better place for everyone. Help me tell them that we're here not to cause any harm," he added.The woman apologised profusely for the residents' behaviour.

He has to legit say “if they could just keep the hate to a minimal that would be great”  what do I do. Really. This poor guy. pic.twitter.com/uW42bK68tq— MarieJualKondo  (@natashagideon) April 28, 2019

Natasha shared photos of the residents' petition to ban African tenants from living in the apartment complex

Image via Twitter

The number of signatures collected so far is unknown.In addition to preventing landlords and real estate agents from renting to African tenants, the petition seeks to prevent existing residents from "bringing African guests for daytime visits or overnight accommodation."

One owner sent me this on the Facebook thread. An update to inform me as to why the residents are racist. Thanks for clarifying. I’m assuming they also agree with a total muslim ban in America because I don’t see the logic here. pic.twitter.com/jBrjQxf6AE— MarieJualKondo  (@natashagideon) April 29, 2019

In a Facebook group dedicated to residents of the apartment, the woman wrote a long post calling out those who signed the petition.
"Y'all are just pure racists. If it were a white man with a horrible attitude ya'll won't even bat an eyelid."

She added that, "Anyone directly having issues with an individual can report to the police station and inform the owner of the unit the tenant is from. You can't ban a group of people for just EXISTING.""Not going to apologise for renting to a Nigerian young man. He's a good person."

Im sure gonna get backlash from this. I’m half scared but half putting it out there so at least they know not all owners are racist. They can suck on my semi nervous balls. pic.twitter.com/4C33NTVHOV— MarieJualKondo  (@natashagideon) April 28, 2019

Natasha also included insight into the discussions within the group.

This was posted as a “discussion” on the owners page pic.twitter.com/qB0S4seEEG— MarieJualKondo  (@natashagideon) April 28, 2019

In response to her message, a resident attached a video showing the building's lobby littered with garbage on 21 April

He indicated that the petition comes after they discovered that an African man was responsible for the mess.

Update pic.twitter.com/JnL76iEqRS— MarieJualKondo  (@natashagideon) April 28, 2019

Natasha reiterated that the incident should not justify banning all African residents."I'm sure he doesn't agree with the Muslim ban but would gladly ban all Africans," she wrote in a reply to a Twitter user."I'm a real estate agent and so part of why it was important for me to do this is because it has been happening a lot with my clients as well," she told SAYS.

Netizens replied the thread to express their disappointment towards the actions of the residents

Several Twitter users also pointed out the absurdity of generalising an entire race for the actions of some.

Survey: Malaysians Own Four Gadgets And Connect On Them When Watching TV

A study conducted by an international consultant revealed that one out of every two Malaysians use media tools apart from television

People using media tools aside from television.

One out of two Malaysians use media tools apart from television according to a survey by a global research consultancy.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The study was conducted amongst 55,000 Internet users worldwide, and Malaysia are slightly ahead in this trend by connecting with their digital devices while watching television

Image via mirror.co.uk

Connected Life, a study of over 55,000 Internet users worldwide, revealed that Malaysia was slightly ahead of this trend, with 50% of people taking part in screen-stacking while watching television.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Malaysians often check their social media, emails and conduct shopping online as television does not interest them as much as before

Image via wired.com

“People the world over are engaging with the event in various ways across different devices — watching it on TV, tablet or mobile, whilst also engaging in conversations on social media.

        yahoo.com

"These activities include using social media, checking their emails or shopping online," TNS Asia Pacific head of digital Joe Webb said in a statement today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Television sets are no longer enough to satisfy Malaysians’ appetite for content, driving the growth of online media content and screen-stacking, Webb said.

        msn.com

"While our love affair with television endures, it is no longer enough to satisfy our appetite for content," he said, adding that the consumption habits of content-hungry viewers were rapidly changing.

        msn.com

        gstatic.com

The study also revealed that Malaysians now owns approximately 4 digital devices each, slightly less than countries such as Germany and the UK

Connected Life revealed that Malaysians now own approximately four digital devices each, which is in line with the global average.

        themalaysianinsider.com

However, this is less than Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom, where respondents have five digital devices each.

        msn.com

Despite the rise of online consumption, Malaysians still love to watch television, with 67% watching television everyday

Image via ozy.com

Webb said despite the surge in online consumption, traditional television sets still played a huge part in people’s daily lives. About 75% of respondents globally and 67% in Malaysia sit in front of the box every day.

        msn.com

TV dinners are also alive and well, with 72% of people in Malaysia giving television their undivided attention while eating in the evening – slightly below the global average of 76%.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“However, television still has a role to play – particularly during dinner, when we don’t have hands free to navigate on other devices.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Our attachment to the television has been supported by the rise in digital set-top boxes, catch-up TV and on-demand services such as Astro B Yond and Hypp TV.”

        msn.com

Many big companies have started to shift to the digital side, offering on-demand content online

Many big global media companies are already taking advantage of growing online viewing trends, offering on-demand services such as NetFlix, Tonton, Hulu or HBO GO. These services allow people to access premium content wherever they are through their phones or tablets. “It’s no surprise that we are seeing such a big trend towards screen-stacking in Asian markets, the appetite for online content is huge and growing all the time,” said Webb

Aspiring Neurosurgeon Explains The Problem With Junior Doctor Placements In Malaysia

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

Another young doctor has taken to social media to voice his dissatisfaction with the placement system of junior doctors in Malaysia

In a Facebook post, the aspiring neurosurgeon shared his grievances after he was placed in a rural district hospital in Miri, Sarawak, instead of a large tertiary hospital in a city, where he could continue his interest and training in neurosurgery.The medical officer with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Richard Lim, said he had just completed two years of housemanship training, and was already in the neurosurgery department in Penang Hospital for two months."When I found out my next placement would be in Sarawak, I was actually feeling a little disappointed, I won't lie. Things were going great at the neurosurgery department in Penang. I learnt a lot from my colleagues and they were also disappointed to see me go," he said.

The 31-year-old shared that he grew even more frustrated with the system when his appeal to MOH to stay in Penang was rejected, despite having legitimate reasons

Besides hoping to stay in the neurosurgery department, Lim said he appealed to stay in his home state because his father is a diabetic amputee, who mostly depends on his mother to carry out daily activities and move around the house."But of course, the appeal wasn't successful," said the disappointed junior doctor.

Lim said he then had to face the chaos that came with having to move across the country, with no forewarning whatsoever of where he was going to work or find a home in the whole state of Sarawak

This administrative issue has been brought up before by online movement Hartal Doktor Kontrak, as well as by other doctors from many batches before Lim, who have gone through the same negligence.Medical officers are not informed of their workplaces until the day they arrive at the state's district health office, and many are expected to find accommodation and start work within the week."Two weeks in advance, I called up Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri (JKN) Sarawak to ask about which hospital I would be placed, so that I could start looking for accommodation and prepare all necessary stuff before moving. But their reply was, 'Sorry doctor, we don't have the name list of doctor placements in Sarawak yet'."He called them one week and also three days before flying, and was met with the same answer."Their reply was, 'Don't worry doctor, just come to Sarawak and we will discuss it'. I was a bit flabbergasted at their reply," said Lim.

When he finally arrived to report at JKN Sarawak in Kuching, he expected an interview so that he could discuss with the authorities where his placement would be

However, to his horror, in the halls of JKN Sarawak, the administration called out the names of over 100 doctors one by one to inform them of their placements, which were pre-allocated at either a hospital or a health clinic.Lim said he was given a placement in a district health clinic in Bekenu, a small fishing town located an hour's drive away from Miri, which is an hour's flight away from Kuching.On that day, he said he had tried to appeal his position, given his interest in neurosurgery, to be placed at a hospital anywhere in Sarawak with at least an operating theatre to train. However, his efforts fell on deaf ears.According to him, JKN Sarawak told him to speak to the director in charge of the health service department in Miri. However, when he arrived in Miri, they told him it was only JKN Sarawak that had the authority to reverse his offer.

"Is this the reason why so many of our young doctors quit MOH?" he questioned

"I feel so cheated and disappointed with our healthcare system. We are all healthcare workers striving to help our fellow citizens. Would it be right to treat your colleagues better? Sending employees to a different state and not telling them where they'll be working until the day itself, I don't think that is right or even up to the standards of our labour laws," he ranted.The aspiring surgeon said that while his hopes to become a specialist have still not waned, he warned that this mismanagement by the ministry will put off many others from staying in Malaysia or pursuing further studies, a growing trend that can be seen over the last couple of years."There are only 160 neurosurgeons in the whole of Malaysia right now, and out of that number, not all are working in the government," he warned.He said that if a patient were to have a ruptured aneurysm or a haemorrhagic stroke, there may one day not be enough neurosurgeons in Malaysia to save them."Most doctors don't choose to go into neurosurgery compared to other specialties, because of the long working hours and long training program. It takes eight years. So, this has really bothered me, when JKN Sarawak did not even bother listening to my request," Lim also shared with SAYS, who said his future and career in neurosurgery is purely at the mercy of MOH, but he shall make the most of his placement in Bekenu for now.

The junior doctor's Facebook post has since garnered support from the medical community

You Won't Believe Where These Iconic Snacks Malaysians Love Are Really From

Warning: what you're about to read will change your life forever!

Image via The Odyssey

You're about to find out the truth behind some of your favourite Malaysian snacks!

These snacks that you've grown up eating and probably still love today.... ARE NOT ACTUALLY MALAYSIAN!

Image via Giphy

1. Sugus

Image via Flickr

The chewy fruit flavoured candy known best for getting stuck to the roof of our mouths (but we love 'em anyway!) actually originates from the Swiss chocolate company Suchard, who created it in 1931.Psssstt, did anyone else try to sneakily give away all the orange flavoured ones whenever your friends asked for some? :P

2. MILO

Image via Orange

Our beloved chocolate malt drink is orginally from down under! It was first developed in Sydney back in 1934 by Thomas Mayne and wasn't imported to Malaysia until much later.But true MILO connoisseurs will tell you that the Malaysian version tastes really different to its Aussie conterpart.

3. Paddle Pop

Image via Reddit

Aussieland again! Paddle Pop was created and continues to be made by Streets, an Australian ice-cream brand. Though there are specific flavours unique to each region (remember the jelly tongue ones?), iconic flavours like Rainbow, Chocolate and Cyclone are just as much a part of fond Australian childhood memories as it is ours. Over the years, Paddle Pop has also started being distributed under Streets' sister company Wall's, so technically the ones we get are indeed made in Malaysia by our local Wall's branch.But no matter where it's from, Paddle Pop will always be super duper yummy!

4. White Rabbit Candy

Image via Random Tidbits Of Thought

Some sharp minded Malaysians may have already figured this one out from the writing on the wrapper. This creamy milk chew hails from China.How badass did being able to eat the rice paper inner wrapping (but honestly didn't we all think it was plastic lol) make you feel?

5. Choki Choki, Yupi Gummy, Nano Nano & Kopiko

Apparently we have a thing for Indonesian candy because that's where all these familiar childhood sweets are from!A huge thanks to our neighbours for providing us with such sweet memories of using our teeth and nails to squeeze out every last bit of chocolate paste from the plastic Choki Choki tube and of curi-curi makan Yupi gummies, Nano Nano and Kopiko sweets in class.

6. Ribena

Image via Indian Influence

Ahhh there's nothing like an ice-cold glass of Ribena to quench your thirst after a day spent playing in the padang with friends. Can't you just taste that sweet blackcurrant liquid slipping down your throat? Syok man!Turns out that British kids know what that feels like too, since Ribena first started out in the UK, produced by the company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) until 2013, when it was sold to Japanese company, Suntory. And did you know that the British government used to distribute Ribena to children as a vitamin C supplement during World War II? This is what started its reputation as a healthy drink for children. #themoreyouknow

7. Nyam Nyam

Image via Trixha

Okay last one from Australia, we promise! The Nyam Nyam product line comes from an iconic Australian biscuit and snack brand, Arnott's.Everyone knows that the rice crispy Nyam Nyam is the superior one! Though we were always left with extra rice crispies after finishing all the chocolate dipping sauce. Not sure if Arnott's needs to give us more or if we're just really bad at portion control.

8. Maggi

Image via Mouthshut.com

Maggi's legacy in Malaysia needs no introduction lah kan? So let's get right to it. HOW CAN IT NOT BE FROM MALAYSIA?!Though we're Maggi's second biggest market in the world (India is first btw), Maggi's original holding company started in Switzerland before it merged with Nestlé in 1947. Julius Maggi (okay, who even knew that Maggi was someone's name?!) took over his father's mill in 1885 and then introduced the world to Maggi instant noodles in 1885.MINDBLOWN!

9. The bubblegum that gave us tattoos

Image via Persiainpeckham

We never knew what to call these did we? In the absence of a prominent product name, they pretty much became known as the bubblegum you buy just for the temporary tattoos or the ones you hide from your friends 'cause there's so few in that tiny box. Anyone ever kena tangkap for having the temporary tattoo on in school? Confirm get sent to cikgu disiplin!Well now you can finally put a name to them: Marukawa Bubblegum, named after the Japanese company that has been making them since 1948.

8 Reasons Why Sarawakians Think BN's Adenan Satem Is The Right Man For Them

"There is a new fever in Sarawak. It’s called Adenan fever,” read the billboards in Sarawak.

Image via RedParrot

That's quite right.
Tan Sri Adenan Satem, the incumbent Sarawak Chief Minister (CM) from the ruling side of the political divide, Barisan Nasional (BN), has been winning the hearts of Sarawakians ever since he  took over from Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud two years ago.

Tan Sri Adenan Satem

Experts are predicting that Adenan is on the road to a victory in the 11th Sarawak state election this year

Sarawak is crucial to keeping BN in federal power, holding 31 (or almost 14 per cent) of 222 federal seats and this election is being viewed as a gauge of the level of support BN can expect to get from the state the next general election, due by 2018.These polls are also Adenan's chance to earn his first real mandate from the people, and analysts have predicted that he will do this easily. BN could even win more seats than its previous two-thirds majority if people vote with him in mind.

        channelnewsasia.com

Adenan's soaring popularity in Sarawak could be attributed for these reasons:

1. The promise of getting back Sarawak's autonomous powers

Image via Sarawak Blogs

Adenan has been outspoken about restoring Sarawak's autonomous rights since last June. “Autonomy is really close in our hearts — a very important issue for all Sarawakians today. The people I met have all expressed their full support for Adenan and to them, the Chief Minister is a great defender of Sarawak’s rights,” political analyst Datuk Peter Minos was quoted as saying by Borneo Post Online.

On his achievements since taking office in February 2014, the caretaker chief minister said he had successfully negotiated the devolution of power to Sarawak by securing 13 provisions of administrative empowerment.He said the provisions include the need for the federal government to consult the state government prior to the tabling any laws affecting Sarawak's interests.

        themalaymailonline.com

2. He made English the official language in Sarawak despite criticisms and opposition from various parties

Last November, Adenan announced that Sarawak has adopted English as the official language of the state administration, apart from Bahasa Malaysia. “I have been labelled as not being nationalistic or patriotic enough by others when I advocate for the use of English in Sarawak. I am just being practical and logical,” he  was quoted as saying by Malay Mail Online.Later in December, during a ceremony to hand over native land titles to residents in Serian, Adenan reportedly said, “Whether they agree with me in the Semenanjung (peninsula) or not, I don’t care."

3. He put a stop to having the 'lain-lain' option on government official forms

Image via The Nut Graph

Adenan has played a significant role in helping Sarawakians earn their official race status in Malaysia.The original citizens of Sarawak, better known as Dayaks, have been called ‘others’ or ‘lain-lain’ in race status classification on government official forms, relegating them to the same category as foreigners in their own land. Adenan has championed and pushed for reforms and finally, after some 50 years, on 30 October 2015, the Cabinet finally approved ‘Dayak’ as a category on official government forms while also deciding to abolish the use of 'lain-lain' racial category on government forms last month.

4. His brave decision to lead the Sarawak state government to recognise the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC)

Last September, SUPP president Senator Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian made an announcement (with the approval from Adenan) that the Sarawak state government has decided to recognise the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC).The UEC is the Chinese independent school qualification equivalent of STPM. The move by Adenan essentially made Sarawak the first state in Malaysia to recognise the UEC, while the federal government continued to resist the UEC as the qualification for entry into public institutions.

5. He defended and thanked the ethnic Chinese,  slamming the use of the term "pendatang"

The Chinese should no longer be seen as immigrants in Malaysia as they have lived here for generations, Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem said last February.In his Chinese New Year message this year, Adenan paid a tribute to the Chinese for their contributions to the state, and told the community that they should rightfully regard Malaysia as their home.“You call Sarawak your home, and indeed this is your home just like for those from many other races,” he was quoted as saying by The Star. "You are not pendatang. If any of your friends from the peninsula call you pendatang, to hell with them. You are Malaysians of Chinese origin, this is your land,” he reportedly said at the same function.

6. He allows Sarawak Christians to use the Arabic word “Allah” to refer to their God — a term which some Muslims claim to be exclusive to Islam

Image via Asia News

According to a survey by Merdeka Centre, Adenan’s policy of allowing Christians to use 'Allah' in their worship and prayers earned him an approval rating of 71 percent from the non-Muslim Bumiputera respondents.“You can use ‘Allah’ any time you want. No problem. Just use it with respect,” he was quoted as saying by The Star.“I will not tell you how to practise your religion. I am a Muslim and I try to be a good one."“But I will not tell my Christian friends how to worship. It is their business,” he said.

7. He abolished all the tolls in Sarawak

Sarawakians celebrated a momentous occasion during 2015's New Year's eve as the toll collection at the Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Bridge in Petra Jaya, Kuching, ceased operations. It was a momentous occasion as there was no more toll collection in Sarawak ever since.

The Tun Salahuddin Bridge was one of the three bridges in the state collecting toll before the new year.The others were Lanang Bridge in Sibu and Asean Bridge in Miri. Toll at Lanang Bridge was abolished in May while Asean Bridge was made toll-free in June last year.

8. He is dedicated to fight timber corruption and preserve the remaining forests

Sarawak has been one of the hotspots of global deforestation and much of Sarawak's rainforests have been destroyed due to corruption and weak governance.  After decades of logging, both legal and illegal, Adenan has attempted to put a stop to this leading his State Cabinet ministers and assistant ministers to make a pledge towards fighting graft. He also made the state’s “big six” logging firms to sign “integrity pledges”.  Transparency International-Malaysia (TI-M) also praised Adenan's efforts in combating corruption and addressing the illegal logging issues in Sarawak.

BN will be banking on Adenan's popularity to win back voters who had begun swinging away from the ruling coalition in the past few years

Image via Barisan Nasional

According to a survey in January this year by the independent pollster Merdeka Centre, 81 percent of Sarawakians have given the thumbs up for Tan Sri Adenan Satem as their chief minister, a 13 percent increase from the previous survey in April last year. The ruling party, Barisan Nasional, would probably ride on Adenan's huge popularity among locals to get back the voters they have lost to the corruption scandals raised by the opposition linked to BN chairman, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak."Even if you don't like the candidate, just think of Adenan, as we are one team. There are 82 people in the team. Please help them because a vote for them is a vote for Adenan," he was quoted as saying by The Star.


From Handbags To Helmets - Dutch Invention Collects Trash From Klang River Daily

A new system that solves plastic pollution has just entered our shores and it's dubbed to be the 'largest clean-up in history', thanks to its 25-year-old founder

Boyan Slat from Netherlands, founder of The Ocean Cleanup, invented a boat system called 'The Interceptor' that catches plastic and items polluting rivers before it reaches the ocean.

Image via Twitter @BoyanSlat

Image via Twitter @BoyanSlat

The Interceptor aims to clean-up 1,000 of the world's most polluted rivers by 2025.
And it has begun with none other than our Klang River - said to be one of the top 50 polluted rivers in the world.

According to The Ocean Cleanup, the most polluted rivers of the world contribute to about 80% of ocean plastic pollution."To truly rid the oceans of plastic, we need to both clean up the legacy and close the tap, preventing more plastic from reaching the oceans in the first place," Boyan explained.

Four Interceptors have been built to date, with Interceptor 001 operating in Jakarta, Indonesia since 2016, while Interceptor 002 is currently in Klang, Malaysia. Two others will be installed in Can Tho, Mekong Delta in Vietnam and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

To date, the Interceptor 002 has already collected trash including motorcycle helmets, handbags, and countless bottles and garbage bags in the Klang River

And it can remove up to 100,000kg of plastic and trash a day!
But how does it work?

Debris collected from the river flows into the system, while still allowing other boats to pass by. A barrier then directs waste into the mouth of the Interceptor, where a conveyor belt extracts the debris from the water and passes it onto a shuttle.

The shuttle automatically knows when to distribute the waste into six containers on the boat. Once the containers are full, local operators will be notified. The debris is then collected and brought back to shore to be recycled and the emptied containers are reattached back onto the Interceptor for further collection.

On top of it all, the Interceptor is 100% solar-powered and environmentally-friendly

It uses lithium-ion batteries that enable it to operate day and night without any noise or exhaust fumes. The system is "anchored to the riverbed to utilise the natural flow of the river and to catch the plastic".It is also designed for 24/7 autonomous operation, which removes the need for dangerous manual work.

Smoking Could Be Completely Banned For Young Adults In Singapore

The Singaporean government is working on cutting the prevalence of smoking among young citizens

Singapore's Ministry of Health said in a statement on Tuesday, 11 January, that it is open to studying New Zealand's cohort ban on smoking, and will look at how it implements the ban, its effectiveness, and how its experience could be applicable there.Under the New Zealand government's plans, people aged 14 and under in 2027 will never be allowed to purchase cigarettes in the country. It is one of the world's toughest crackdowns on the tobacco industry, arguing that other efforts to extinguish smoking were taking too long."It is an attractive proposal, in that it prevents young people from taking up smoking while not putting too many restrictions on older smokers," said Senior Minister of State for Health Dr Koh Poh Koon."Then, as the years go by, more and more cohorts are smoking free."However, Koh noted that in Singapore, young people are generally not becoming smokers, unlike their counterparts in other countries.In fact, smoking is not seen as glamorous, he said, and their generation is aware of the harmful effects it brings.

The bigger issue is the popularity of vaping products such as e-cigarettes among Singapore's youths

Although banned, vaping devices still find their way to the republic through e-commerce."If vaping becomes entrenched among the younger generation, it undoes all the progress we have made on curbing smoking, and will take an enormous effort over many years to curb its use," Koh said.The Ministry of Health will also look at new ways to further reduce access to tobacco products and tackle vaping.The smoking prevalence rates in Singapore continue to fall, dropping from 11.8% in 2017 to 10.1% in 2020.

Video Shows A Pregnant Wife Doing A GrabFood Delivery Because She Was 'Craving' For It

Imagine your reaction when your pregnant wife tells you that she's 'craving' for food but she doesn't want to eat it — instead — she wants to get on a motorcycle and do delivery as a GrabFood rider?

Image via Tenor

That's probably how Haikal Mazlan reacted, who on Friday night took to his Twitter account to share his wife's weird 'craving'

On 13 September, Haikal, who works as a GrabFood delivery rider, posted a 10-second video. It shows a woman riding a motorcycle while carrying a GrabFood delivery.The video was shot by Haikal while riding in another motorcycle.

Image via Twitter/Hailkal

In the caption of the video, the Twitter user wrote:

			Oh, my wife. Other pregnant women crave for delicious food. Why do you crave to work for Grab instead?

Haikal added that he just went along with his wife's request, hoping that her weird craving to do a GrabFood delivery is for just one order.

Watch the video of Haikal fulfilling his pregnant wife's 'craving' here:

Hai laa isteri.. Org mengandung ngidam nk makan sedap2.. Ko ngidam nk bawak grab dah knp  layan kan je laa.. Egt satu order je!!!  @zlfhnzulkifli pic.twitter.com/bEn9hiA53O— Haikal (@haikalmazlan) September 13, 2019

The video has since gone viral, gaining more than 24k retweets and hundreds of comments from fellow Malaysians who found the whole thing very amusing.

PM's Dept Under Najib Wrote To CIA To Support BN Even If They Won GE14 By "Just 1 Seat"

Online news portal Malaysiakini is reporting that it has sighted an official three-page letter written — five days before the May 9 general election — by the Research Division in the Prime Minister's Department to the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

The said letter, Malaysiakini reports, is addressed to CIA director Gina Haspel, in which the Research Division in the Prime Minister's Department, which is an intelligence unit, appeals for the United States to support the BN government led by Najib Abdul Razak "even if we win the election by a simple majority or just one seat."The letter asked for the CIA director to report to the Secretary of State on "the complexity of managing" GE14 by Najib and "the need to have US support" for BN."Any indication that the US government would continue to support Prime Minister Najib and his government would definitely strengthen our stability and enhance the existing cordial relationship driven by the strong rapport between our two leaders," the letter, signed by the Research Division's Director-General Hasanah Ab Hamid.Malaysiakini said that the letter's authenticity has been confirmed by Pakatan Harapan government, saying it carried the official letterhead of the Research Division.

The letter by the Prime Minister's Department, which was under Najib at the time, reportedly called Tun Dr Mahathir "not a reformer" as he joined the opposition and praised Najib's nine-year tenure

"Your Excellency must be well informed that Mahathir, essentially, is not a reformer that could enhance Malaysia's national interest as he joined the opposition for his own self-interest. Meanwhile, the opposition hopes to use his (Mahathir) prowess in politics to defeat Prime Minister Najib's party."Mahathir in the past has been anti-West, anti-Semite, autocratic, silenced dissent through force, totally disregarded human rights and the rule of law."It was during his tenure that the Internal Security Act was heavily abused for his own political agenda and allowed him to rule Malaysia for more than two decades," the three-page letter by the Research Division stated, according to Malaysiakini.In praising Najib, the letter said that he comes with a proven "track record of not only practising sound and progressive foreign policies but also contributing to regional security" through involvement in promoting peace and stability in the region."Without Najib in charge of the country, the US stands to lose a reliable partner in Southeast Asia, given that the Philippines have broken away from Washington, Singapore and Brunei being too small to make an impact and Thailand as well as Indonesia immersed in their own domestic problems. Meanwhile, the Indo-China countries, except for Vietnam, are too inclined towards China," the letter said.

Najib, however, has completely denied having any knowledge, claiming he did not instruct the Research Division under his own department to pen such a letter to the CIA seeking US support

According to Najib, agencies related to intelligence matters have the autonomy to perform their duties for reasons they think would benefit them.When Malaysiakini asked Najib about the letter, he said he was "surprised", saying he "did not even know of its existence" as "not all letters have to go through me."

Image via Malaysiakini

On the other hand, someone who is close to Najib is not happy that he is being accused of treason over the letter, reported Malaysiakini

According to this person, the letter was sent "with the best of intention that the country does not fall into civil strife or mass demonstrations post-GE14" if BN wins it narrowly."Doesn't the current government have more important things to do other than to leak sensitive military intelligence letters between countries to the media in order to continue slandering Najib? For example, more important things like running our country now that you are in power?" the source close to Najib told Malaysiakini.

Meanwhile, Lim Kit Siang has called Najib the "worst prime minister in Malaysian history" for claiming that he did not know that a department under him had sought foreign intervention prior to GE14

In asking for Najib to explain the shocking letter sent by a division under his department, the DAP veteran said that it is just "not good enough for Najib to now claim that he, as the Prime Minister at the time did not instruct the Research Division in the Prime Minister’s Department to write the letter to the CIA seeking US support for the Barisan Nasional against Pakatan Harapan five days before the May 9 general election."While rubbishing Najib's denial, LKS asked if the BN government under Najib was "so shambolic and anarchic that the right hand did not know what the left hand was doing."In a press statement, Lim Kit Siang added that if indeed Najib was unaware of the letter, then he is "clearly the worst prime minister in Malaysian history."

This Revolutionary New Innovation Could Help Keep Your Heart Beating Forever

Scientists have discovered a 3D-printed, “electronic glove” that could fit on a heart and keep it beating regularly over an indefinite period of time

Scientists at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Washington University in St. Louis have created a thin, electronic membrane than can keep the heart beating inside at a perfect rate.

This photo shows the new cardiac device ― a thin, elastic membrane ― fitted over a rabbit's heart.

This "spider-web-like network of sensors and electrodes" is stretchable and lined with circuits to sense and interact with the heart, unlike the pacemakers and implantable defibrillators currently available.

        policymic.com

The research group has already experimented successfully with a rabbit heart by scanning it while it was alive, printing a precise 3D model and creating the membrane to fit it

Once the heart was removed from the rabbit, it was placed inside the membrane in a "nutrient and oxygen-rich solution," and has been beating since then:

The use of high-resolution imaging technology means that unlike current pacemaker and implantable defibrillator technology, the thin, elastic membrane will be custom-made to fit “snugly” over the real heart

"When it senses such a catastrophic event as a heart attack or arrhythmia, it can also apply a high definition therapy,” said biomedical engineer Igor Efimov of Washington University, who helped design and test the device.

“It can apply stimuli, electrical stimuli, from different locations on the device in an optimal fashion to stop this arrhythmia and prevent sudden cardiac death,” Efimov said.

According to the Malaysia Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA), the vessel - MT Orkim Harmony - was en route to Kuantan from Malacca when it suddenly lost contact with ground personnel on Thursday evening. The ship was manned by crew of 22-strong, including 16 Malaysians, 5 Indonesians, and a Myanmar national.

"The last known location for the tanker was about 30 nautical miles of Tanjung Sedili east when it suddenly lost contact at around 8.50pm,'' said MMEA operations director southern region Maritime First Admiral Ibrahim Mohamed.He said MMEA received a report from the shipping company Orkim Ship Management Sdn Bhd on the missing tanker at about 6.30am on June 12.  "We immediately deployed our assets upon receiving the report from the company," said Ibrahim.

While the ship's whereabouts have yet to be determined, the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) said that it is likely to have been hijacked by pirates as the ship is carrying "the kind of cargo that is usually hijacked"

"We don't know the whereabouts of the ship right now or what happened but it is likely a hijack of the cargo," said Noel Choong, head of the IMB's Kuala Lumpur-based Piracy Reporting Centre."The ship was carrying the kind of cargo that is usually hijacked."

Earlier this month, Orkim Harmony's sister vessel Orkim Victory was hijacked off the east coast Peninsular Malaysia, with some of its oil cargo stolen by armed men on 4 June. Fortunately, the ship arrived safely in the Kuantan port with its 18 crew members later that day.

Orkim Victory, also an oil tanker, was hijacked on 4 June 4 by eight men armed with two hand guns and a parang, who locked the crew in a cabin.According to the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP), the Orkim Victory hijacking occurred just off Pulau Aur as well, where the perpetrators towed the ship 22.6km (12.2 nautical miles) off the island before spending seven hours transferring 770 tonnes of diesel into another tanker.

"They took hostage all crew members, altered course and sailed the vessel until it rendezvoused with another vessel into which part of the oil cargo was transferred and stolen," it said on its Commercial Crime Services page.  Before leaving, the pirates stole items belonging to the ship and its crew. They also damaged its radios.  "Personal belongings ie. money, laptops and handphones were stolen."The ship safely arrived (in) Kuantan at 7pm yesterday (Thursday)," said MMEA C3i (Command, Control, Communication and Information) director Capt (Maritime) Hamid Mohd Amin.  The pirates, Hamid said, fled to Pulau Matek in the Anambas Islands region, Indonesia. Hamid said the Indonesian Coast Guard was told of the matter and that the MMEA was investigating the case.

According to a report released by IMB in April, there have been 38 pirate attacks on the waters of Southeast Asia from January to March this year. The agency has also been issuing warnings over the past two years on the SEA seas becoming the world's piracy hotspot.

Image via The Maritime Executive

In a quarterly report released in April, it said pirates attacked one such tanker every two weeks in the region's waters in the first quarter of 2015. Much of the world's trade passes through its shipping lanes such as the Malacca Strait between Malaysia and Indonesia.Southeast Asia saw 38 pirate attacks during January-March, or 70 per cent of the global total of 54, the IMB said in its April report, calling the frequency of regional incidents "an increasing cause for concern." Pirates usually syphon off the cargo to other vessels before releasing the ships and their crews.Piracy in the region had been significantly reduced in the previous decade by stepped-up regional cooperation and maritime patrols, but has re-emerged as a hazard.

A motorist driving was blocked by the man who seemed to not have noticed the oncoming vehicle while the traffic light for pedestrians to cross was turned red.SG Road Vigilante shared that while the motorist honked his car to alert the pedestrian, the man - instead of retreating or apologising - lost his temper at the motorist.

He then continued to block the car, refusing to let the motorist drive away

The pedestrian could be seen muttering angrily and pointing at the opposite road.When the motorist was about to swerve away, the man could be seen lifting his leg in what appears to be him trying to kick the car bonnet to stop it before finally walking away.

The video incident sparked outrage among many Singaporeans

Many netizens criticised the man for behaving in such a manner when it was he who clearly violated the traffic regulations in the first place.

Others joked if the man thought the red and green worked differently in Singapore.

On the other hand, one user praised the motorist for being very alert, adding that if the motorist had not paid any attention, the man "would meet with Lord God."

"So Near?" — Uncle Grab Driver Advises Woman To Walk Instead Of Ordering A Short Ride

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

The recent hot weather has caused all of us to consider ways to avoid the scorching sun at all costs

One woman recently went the extra mile (pun intended) by booking a Grab ride to a location that is presumed to be within walking distance of where she booked the e-hailing service.In a post shared by Meanwhile In Malaysia, a local Facebook page that usually shares confessions from Malaysians, the woman stated that her Grab driver had asked her why she booked a ride."This was the first time a Grab driver scolded me and cancelled my booking," she wrote."I'm sorry, uncle. The weather was hot and I wanted to save time to reach my destination," she explained.

Image via Meanwhile In Malaysia (Facebook)

The woman also attached a screenshot of the messages that were sent to her by the driver, which shows him being puzzled by the booking

"(It's) so near also you need to take Grab?" he asked the woman."My goodness. Take an umbrella and do some exercise la," he added, before allegedly cancelling the ride.The customer said that she was stunned by his comments and joked that she was still going to pay him anyway.

Image via Meanwhile In Malaysia (Facebook)

The Facebook post went viral, and while most Malaysians found the uncle's response amusing, some thought it was insensitive

One user commented that the uncle responded as if the customer was his own child or niece.

Image via Facebook

Another joked that the driver may have been a medical officer, dietitian, or physical education teacher in the past, which was why he asked the woman to exercise."I can't imagine getting into his Grab car. He would give a lecture the whole ride," they wrote.

Image via Facebook

Meanwhile, one user expressed concern and inquired what would happen if the customer was injured or travelling with a child."Be practical la uncle, you have to assess the situation if you want to give a piece of advice," they wrote.

Man Who Raped His Daughter Almost Every Night For A Year Sentenced To 480 Years In Prison

A 38-year-old man has been sentenced to 480 years in prison and 18 strokes of the rotan for raping his teenage daughter

The accused being led out of the Sessions Court in Sarikei.

The Borneo Post reported today, 19 September, that the man was slapped with a jail sentences of 30 years for each of the 16 offences he was charged with under Section 376A of the Penal Code. However, the Sessions Court in Sarikei ordered the sentences to run concurrently, so, the rapist will only serve 30 years in prison.

The man will also be whipped twice for each of the first six charges and whipped once for each of the next six charges

Section 376A of the Penal Code defines incest as, "A person is said to commit incest if he or she has sexual intercourse with another person whose relationship to him or her is such that he or she is not permitted, under the law, religion, custom or usage applicable to him or her, to marry that other person." Punishment for incest:376B. (1) Whoever commits incest shall be punished with imprisonment for a term of  not less than ten years and not more than thirty years, and shall also be liable to whipping.(2) It shall be a defence to a charge against a person under this section if it is proved -(a) that he or she did not know that the person with whom he or she had sexual intercourse was a person whose relationship to him or her was such that he or she was not permitted under the law, religion, custom or usage applicable to him or her to marry that person; or(b) that the act of sexual intercourse was done without his or her consent.Under the law, a person under the age of 16 (if female) or 13 (if male), shall be deemed as incapable of giving consent.

It was reported that the father-of-four first committed the heinous act on the night of 6 January 2016. The victim was sleeping in the same room as her mother and three other siblings when she was raped by her father.

She told the authorities that her father raped her almost every night from January until December 2016. He continued to rape her on several other occasions this year when the 13-year-old came back home on weekends as she started staying at her school's hostel. She was raped in July, early and late August and one last time on 5 September this year, before she returned to the hostel. Her father was arrested on 6 September, after a doctor at the Sarikei Hospital informed the police of an alleged rape case. The authorities were told that a 13-year-old child (the victim) the doctor examined, had old tears on her hymen and fresh abrasion on her private part, believed to be caused by the penetration of a blunt object. She had told the doctor that she was raped by her dad multiple times in the span of almost two years.

On Friday, 2 August, several residents at the Kerinchi public housing project (PPR) flat were in for a terrifying ride as the lift they were in crashed and fell 15 metres to the ground with its doors open

The freak incident happened at 2.30pm yesterday when the flat's residents were returning from Friday prayers, according to a report in NST Online.The lift crashed from the fifth floor after its braking system had malfunctioned."Many screamed in fear. I only managed to grab hold of the elevator's button panel and could not think as everything happened so fast," 24-year-old Ahmad Shahid Imran, who was in the lift with others, was quoted as saying.According to Imran, there were nine people in the lift, including a woman, a child and a disabled man. Some of them sprained and broke their legs in the incident.

			It is a horrifying experience I will not be able to forget.
        Ahmad Shahid Imran.

There were nine people in the lift and eight of them sustained multiple injuries, including broken legs and sprained wrists

"All injured victims were taken to the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre for treatment," Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department senior operations chief Muhammad Ridwan Kamarulzaman was quoted as saying by FMT.According to him, the operation to rescue the injured, which included six men, a woman and a 10-year-old boy, took about 15 minutes.

A father and son were believed to have suffered broken legs

The man's wife, Haliza Hassan, said that her husband and 10-year-old son are now at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) for treatment."I urge the local authorities to take stern action in this matter, do not wait for there to be a death before taking action," NST Online quoted her as saying.

Image via NSTP

According to one of the residents at the Kerinchi PPR flat, there was a similar incident last year that happened at the same block

"The same incident last year, but no one died, just minor injuries."Usually, local authorities maintain the elevators in this PPR area but after a few days, the elevators will break down again," 60-year-old resident Idris Abd Samad said.

Following the incident, Kuala Lumpur mayor Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan said that he would meet with 11 elevator maintenance contractors involved in 45 public housing projects (PPR) in the nation's capital to check on the condition of its elevators

"I was shocked by what happened, as a result of that, I have directed for an immediate meeting with 11 PPR elevator maintenance contractors to go over the current procedures," NST Online quoted him as saying at the Kerinchi PPR flats."We will not compromise on things like these and we will conduct an investigation immediately," he said, adding that the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) would bear the cost of treatment for the victims who were injured in yesterday's incident.
