New Study Finds Surgical Face Masks Make Men Look Hotter

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

Before the COVID-19 pandemic took its course around the world, wearing face masks was associated with illness.
Except, they still do. So what changed?

In February 2021, seven months after masks became mandatory in the UK, researchers at Cardiff University were curious to know whether the pandemic had altered perceptions of attractiveness.The study found that men were seen as better looking with the lower halves of their faces covered. What was surprising, however, is that the attractiveness factor was increased by the type of face covering: disposable surgical face masks.This was far from the case pre-pandemic times, according to Dr Michael Lewis who is a reader from the university's School of Psychology and an expert in faces.

43 women were asked to rate the attractiveness of men in photographs on a scale of one to 10

The faces of men were shown in four different ways: without a mask, wearing a plain cloth mask, a blue medical face mask, and with a book in front of their face.Those wearing a cloth mask were found to be significantly more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly obscured by the book. But the blue surgical mask — which was just a normal, disposable kind — made the wearer look even better, which is unfortunate for the environment.The trend held for men who were rated as very attractive along with men who were rated as unattractive.

Lewis said it was also possible that masks made people more attractive because they directed attention to the eyes

He said other studies have found that covering the left or right half of a face also made people look more attractive, partly because the brain fills in the missing gaps and exaggerates the overall impact, according to The Guardian."This may be because we're used to healthcare workers wearing blue masks and now we associate these with people in caring or medical professions. At a time when we feel vulnerable, we may find the wearing of medical masks reassuring and so feel more positive towards the wearer," Lewis added.The study's findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications on 10 January.

Couple Accused Of Killing Maid Gets 20 Years Jail After Federal Court Amends Murder Charge

A Malaysian couple, who were initially sentenced to death for murdering their Indonesian maid, managed to escape the gallows after the Federal Court on Wednesday, 4 April 2018, amended the charge from murder to culpable homicide not amounting to murder

File photo of the accused couple at the Shah Alam High Court.

The 62-year-old husband and his 60-year-old wife have now been sentenced to 20 years in jail instead by a five-man bench led by Court of Appeal president Justice Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin

The couple's 20-year-long jail term was ordered to run from the date they were remanded on 5 June 2011. The husband Fong Kong Meng and his wife Teoh Ching Yen have been in jail since their remand.The panel made the ruling after allowing the couple's appeal against the death sentence that was awarded to them by the High Court in Shah Alam on 6 March 2014.

While the couple were found guilty of murdering their 26-year-old maid, Isti Komariah, at their house in Petaling Jaya, Justice Zulkefli said that the prosecution had failed to prove its case on murder

Justice Zulkefli said that after considering arguments from both sides, the court found that the prosecution had failed to prove its case on murder and that the evidence placed the case under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code."We find that the evidence, in this case, falls under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code (which deals with Punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder)."

Their lawyer asked for leniency saying that they were remanded for seven years and the wife was suffering from breast cancer

However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Hamzah Ismail asked for a deterrent sentence saying that the victim had suffered starvation. The DPP argued that it was couple's duty to provide their maid with food but they failed."In this case, the maximum (jail) sentence is 30 years, I ask for 25 years for both appellants," DPP Ismail told the court.When the DPP was asked whether he asked for the same sentence even though the wife was suffering from cancer, he replied: "The prison can take her to the hospital."

According to the facts of the case, the couple's maid was so underfed that she only weighed 26kg at the time of her death

She weighed 49kg when she first started working for the couple.The maid, who was from East Java and started working for the couple in December 2008, was brought by the couple to the University of Malaya Medical Centre at Petaling Jaya in June 2011. She, however, died upon arrival at the hospital.

Meanwhile, a female passenger on an AirAsia flight from KL to Hong Kong was shamed after she decided to "upgrade" herself to a row of empty premium seats and make herself comfortable there:

A Sick Patient Was Allegedly Threatened By A Doctor From A Popular Clinic In Selangor

A clinic in Selangor has come under public scrutiny following allegations that a patient was threatened by the doctor

A woman named Lim Pik Wah took to Facebook to share her experience about her recent visit to a clinic in Selangor and her encounter with a doctor there. The clinic is a branch of one of the largest clinics chain in Malaysia with more than 170 outlets nationwide. Lim visited the clinic on Monday, 21 March, as she was feeling unwell from a flu and sore throat for the past two weeks. She also noticed that she was developing body ache. She said that she "explained her condition from head to toe" to the doctor in-charge.

According to Lim, the doctor suspected that she was having dengue

In order to confirm his diagnosis, Lim said, the doctor tried to take a blood sample but failed to do so after three attempts as it was "hard to find" the vein in her arm.  After that, the doctor apparently told Lim: "I don't think you have dengue". Lim felt that he came to the conclusion after finding difficulty in drawing the blood sample from her. He then recommended Lim to get a flu injection instead, to which Lim agreed.

However, things began to take an ugly turn when she was told to pay RM150 for the medication

Image via Lim Pik Wah

A staff at the clinic had requested Lim to pay a RM150 fee. However, she was puzzled because her usual trips to the clinic do not require her to pay a single cent. "Since my company cover me in medical fees, usually I don't have to make any payment," Lim explained.When she queried the staff about the payment, they were unsure and asked her to direct her questions to the doctor.

Lim then narrated her conversation between the doctor and herself when she asked for clarification on the matter

"So you are not going to pay?" the doctor allegedly said."I thought you should inform me if there is any payment that is required of me to pay," Lim said in reply. The doctor then retorted and said that "everyone knows that vaccines and vitamins" are not covered by insurance. "Yes, I know that clearly but why did you give me a vaccine all of a sudden? And as you mentioned earlier, is a flu injection. How would I know it was a vaccine?" Lim told the doctor. "It's okay. I know you can't afford to pay. You are poor, I know. It's okay, you can walk out without paying. I will complain to your company," the doctor said.

Not wanting to argue further, Lim paid the RM150 fee

"(There is) no point in debating whose financial is stronger or weaker, as we are seeking for treatment," Lim said. "In the end, I made the payment RM150 not because I was scared but I wanted to get every evidence from their mistakes.""But what about others? Others who (are) struggling for their life and get threatened by this kind of doctor? Where is the doctor's work ethics?" At the time of writing, Lim's Facebook post has gone viral and received more than 1,500 shares.

Many netizens have also come forward to share their own experiences

According to them, this particular group of clinics has been receiving bad reviews from patients and the doctors working at the clinics are notorious for their bad service.

Desperate M'sians In S'pore Allegedly Paid Up To RM617 For Fake VTL Tickets

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

Hundreds of Malaysians working in Singapore who were desperate to return home have allegedly fallen victim to a scam linked to fake Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) bus tickets

A police report was lodged yesterday, 1 March, by Malaysia-Singapore Workers Task Force (PEMAS) chairman S Dayalan at the Johor Bahru Selatan district police headquarters."The tickets sold almost look authentic, causing many to be convinced, and [making] reservations through the third party," he explained to reporters after making the report.According to him, PEMAS has been receiving hundreds of complaints from Malaysians in Singapore since more than a month ago, saying that "this is getting out of control".

Not only did the victims pay for bus tickets at multiple times the original price, but they also only realised the tickets were fake on the day they were supposed to head home itself

Dayalan said the tickets — originally costing S$15 (about RM46) — were being sold to unknowing Malaysians for between S$100 (around RM309) and S$200 (RM617) a piece. He added that the tickets were bought online through a third party site and promoted on Facebook."However, after paying the requested amount of money, they only found out that the ticket was fake when the Singaporean authorities checked the list of names of travellers allowed on the day," reported Kosmo!"This is not a small matter because many Malaysians have been deceived, especially those who are desperate to return home to visit relatives or parents who are ill or have passed away."

He also questioned why the number of travellers who left from Singapore via land VTL did not meet the quota set, while tickets were said to have sold out

Dayalan stated that PEMAS received a report from the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex stating that only about 150 to 200 travellers from Singapore enter Malaysia on a daily basis when the quota set was actually around 1,000 travellers a day.He hopes the authorities can step in and investigate the matter thoroughly.Since the report was lodged, Johor police chief Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat has said a detailed investigation is being carried out. Investigators will seek the assistance of the Singapore Police Force to probe the case, reported The Edge Malaysia.

Nak Tahu Kenapa Tak Boleh Makan Mi Segera Terlalu Banyak? Ini Sebabnya...

Segelintir individu memang sukakan hidangan mi segera. Mana tidaknya, ianya merupakan hidangan paling senang, cepat dan murah untuk dinikmati.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.

Memang tidak dapat dinafikan, mi segera telah menjadi pilihan ramai sejak dahulu lagi. Cara penyediaan bawah 10 minit, harga murah dan rasa yang sedap merupakan antara faktor mengapa mi segera menjadi pilihan ramai. Namun, pernahkah anda tahu berapa banyak kandungan garam yang ada dalam setiap hidangan mi segera yang dinikmati?

Untuk pengetahuan anda, lebih 98% daripada 707 mi segera yang ada di pasaran kini memiliki kandungan garam begitu tinggi

Menurut laporan, kajian bertajuk 'Kandungan Garam Mi Segera Di Malaysia: Satu kajian keratan lintang' yang membabitkan 707 produk mi segera pelbagai perisa yang dijual di enam buah pasar raya dan kedai runcit, malah laman sesawang produk tersebut. Kajian yang dilakukan oleh 7 penyelidik dari Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Malaya (UM) dan University of London itu mendapati tiada satu pun mi segera yang berada di pasaran Malaysia boleh dikategorikan sebagai makanan rendah garam, sangat rendah garam mahupun bebas garam.Kajian tersebut dilakukan pada Mei lalu mendapati kira-kira 40% atau lebih 250 produk mi segera tidak mempamerkan kandungan garam atau nutrisi pada produk masing-masing.

			"Purata kandungan garam dalam mi segera di Malaysia adalah sekitar 4.5 gram (g) per 100g, iaitu empat kali lebih tinggi daripada tahap makanan yang dikategorikan sebagai tinggi kandungan garam iaitu kurang 1.2g per 100g, seperti digariskan kerajaan."
        Penyedilik dari UPM, UM dan University of London

Pengambilan sebungkus hidangan mi segera dikatakan hampir sama dengan kadar pengambilan garam harian yang disarankan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) iaitu kurang 5g sehari

Paling dikhuatiri, kandungan garam pada 10% mi segera telah melebihi saranan WHO kerana mi segera yang memiliki kandungan tertinggi adalah 2 kali ganda lebih tinggi daripada saranan iaitu 8.5g dalam satu sajian.Kajian ini turut mendapat perhatian Dr Amalina Bakri yang turut menjelaskan bahawa dia menggesa kerajaan untuk bertindak segera bagi mengatasi isu pengambilan garam tinggi di kalangan rakyat Malaysia."Malaysia Salt Action menyarankan pengurangan pengambilan garam kurang 6g sehari bagi rakyat Malaysia dewasa. Kadar garam tinggi dikaitkan dengan penyakit kardiovaskular dan tekanan darah tinggi."Saya sendiri sudah tidak memakan mi segera sejak lebih 10 tahun lalu," kata Dr Amalina Bakri.

Walau bagaimanapun, sebilangan besar rakyat Malaysia masih terus menikmati makanan segera itu walhal sudah diberitahu tentang kandungan garam yang tinggi

Image via Berita Harian Online

Sebelum ini, pernah juga ada kempen kesihatan yang telah dijalankan. Namun ianya gagal untuk mengatasi masalah ini kerana kesan iklan mi segera yang disiarkan di media massa. Pensyarah Jabatan Pemakanan dan Dietatik Fakulti Perubatan dan Sains Kesihatan UPM, Prof Madya Dr Norhaizan Mohd Esa turut menjelaskan bahawa sifat mi segera yang murah, sedap dan mudah disediakan menjadi tarikan utama masyarakat untuk dijadikan sebagai menu harian, lebih-lebih lagi pelajar.

			“Walaupun setakat ini belum ada kes kronik berhubung individu yang mengamalkannya, tetapi pengambilan garam yang tinggi akan mengakibatkan penyakit seperti darah tinggi, penyakit kardiovaskular dan penyakit buah pinggang."
        Pensyarah Jabatan Pemakanan dan Dietatik Fakulti Perubatan dan Sains Kesihatan UPM, Prof Madya Dr Norhaizan Mohd Esa.

Beliau turut menyarankan supaya orang ramai mengurangkan pengambilan mi segera. Jika tidak boleh, pelbagaikan ramuan nutrisi di dalamnya seperti udang atau sayur.

Untuk pengetahuan anda, kajian ini hanya dilakukan sekali sahaja dan pihak tertentu menggesa untuk masyarakat mengamalkan diet yang sihat. Berikutan kandungan garam yang tinggi, mi segera tidak seharusnya dijadikan sebagai hidangan setiap hari walaupun ianya murah, sedap dan mudah untuk disediakan. Ia masih boleh diambil namun janganlah setiap hari. Jagalah kesihatan luaran dan dalaman masing-masing. Paling penting, kurangkan pengambilan garam!

A popular Korean barbecue restaurant in Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur, is asking a man to return their cutlery after closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage captured him stealing five sets of it

The restaurant, Sae Ma Eul BBQ, posted a video clip of the incident in a Facebook post on 9 July.As if addressing the thief himself, the eatery wrote, "We know our plates, chopsticks, and spoons are kinda special and nice. But that doesn't mean [they] are free to take."In the 28-second video, a man can be seen wiping a plate clean under the table he was sitting at and then quickly tucking it into the pocket of his pants."It is actually considered as stealing," the caption went on to say.

The staff only noticed the missing cutlery when they were cleaning up. They discovered that the customer had stolen them after checking the CCTV."(It's) [kind of a] hassle to order as it's from Korea," they told SAYS.

Laugh until stomach pain wei hahahaha!

6. Guess the gibberish

  @flyfm Can Ivan ##guessthegibberish ##fyp ##foryoupage ##4u ##tiktokmalaysia  Tide Pods - Clutch

Even if you're not on TikTok, you've probably seen this one over on Instagram or YouTube. It's totally entertaining watching people trying to figure out what the gibberish means and trying to guess along too. Some of them are seriously damn difficult!

7. The sunglasses challenge

  @rankymee Akhirnya.. setelah hampir putus asa ngambil topi jatuh mulu  ##fyp  Banana (feat. Shaggy) - Conkarah

This one is a lil tricky. You gotta get the timing justtttt right. Behind every successful take, there's probably loads of bloopers hahaha. Sunglasses dropping too early lah, not dropping at all lah, or maybe even just completely falling off your face lolll.But when you get it right, it's damn cool! Extra props to those who manage to pull off the cap part too, y'all the real MVPs.

8. Tak boleh

  @haziqhussni Jap. Boleh ke takboleh???  ##hazdeen ##xyabca ##foryou ##fyp @deenhotfm @hotfm976_     -

The original TikToks to this sound were completely different, but we gotta say that we love this tak boleh version even more. It probably came about because the Korean lyrics sound like "tak boleh" and "hey boleh" lolololol omg y'all really damn creative wei.The resulting tak boleh scenarios that people have been coming up with are super funny! The asking for money/duit raya ones are particularly on point.

9. Album lookalike

  @lynnvalerie1  ##greenscreen ##albumlookalike ##asian ##foryou ##foryoupage ##fyp ##ti ##justintimberlake ##tiktoksg  original sound - j.a.c.o.b.27

Settling PTPTN Debts And 6 Other Things You Can Do With Your EPF Money

If you are a salaried employee in Malaysia, you're most likely also a member of the EPF.
This means that a chunk of your monthly salary would be contributed to the EPF, whether you like it or not.

Image via OneApps

The Employee's Provident Fund (EPF), also known as KWSP in its Malay abbreviation,  is a mandatory retirement benefits scheme that has been enforced to ensure that employees make a monthly contribution to build their retirement income.Each member would have two accounts namely: Account I and Account II. Although the savings are only available to us when we retire, the EPF makes certain exceptions to allow withdrawals if a member wishes to take out the money for certain valid purposes approved by the EPF Board.

Here's a list of things you could do with your EPF money:

1. Fund your education - local or overseas

Members can withdraw the money in their EPF account to fund their own (or their children/stepchildren/legally adopted children's) education at higher learning institutions either locally or abroad. The money can also be used if the student is undertaking certain online courses.  The loan can be used for these education levels: Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree, Doctor of Philosophy, or any other equivalent level.  Under the EPF guidelines, the withdrawal will only be approved if the student is enrolled in an institution and/or programme approved by the EPF Board.Be sure to find out more information about the list courses and the overseas institutes approved by the EPF Board.

2. Pay off your PTPTN debts

The EPF Board allows members to reduce or fully pay off their study loan taken from any financial institutions, such as the National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN), that are recognised by the Board.Other financial institution include Bank Rakyat, Public Service Department (JPA), State Foundation (Yayasan Negeri), State Education Foundation (Yayasan Pendidikan Negeri), MIED (Maju Institute Of Educational Development), Tenaga Nasional Foundation, Telekom Malaysia Foundation, Petronas, and Tun Sambathan Scholarship Foundation (Yayasan Biasiswa Tun Sambathan). Starting 1 April 2016, the EPF made it more convenient for members to pay off study loans as they can request for withdrawals online via the EPF's e-Pengeluaran system. Take note that EPF funds can only be withdrawn to settle education loans after the implementation of the withdrawal schemes. Members will not be allowed to withdraw from their account to settle any education loans taken before these dates:• 1 April 2000 - Bachelor's degree and above or equivalent (for members' children)• 2 January 2001 - Diploma level and above or equivalent (for members)• 17 January 2006 - Diploma level (for members' children). However, this term will be void from 21 July 2017 as members may settle outstanding study loans irrespective of the effective date of their education loan agreement.Refer to the EPF website for more information on the Education withdrawal.

3. Make more money through investments

EPF implements strict guidelines to ensure that members could accumulate a minimum savings of RM228,000 by the time they are 55 years old. To achieve this, EPF restricts savings withdrawal from Account I until a member reaches the age of 55. It is almost unlikely for anyone to make a pre-retirement withdrawal from this account — except for making investments through the appointed Fund Management Institutions for the purpose of investment and the member must have already accumulated more money than the Basic Savings Schedule set by the EPF Board. The Basic Saving Schedule basically details the minimum targetted savings that a member should have based on their age. Members can only withdraw a maximum of 30% of their total amount in excess of their Basic Savings in Account I.

Image via KWSP

Members will not be able to use any of the money gained from investments now as all the returns of investment (including profits) will be deposited into Account I upon the liquidation of the investments. Learn more about the EPF Members Investment Scheme on the EPF website.

4. Buy a house or settle a housing loan

If you're thinking of moving on from being a tenant to a house owner, you could utilise your EPF money to fund the cost incurred to get a new home. Members may choose to use their EPF money to buy or build a residential house (such as terrace or condominium) or a shop lot with residential unit.  However, EPF will reject withdrawals intended for renovation, repair works or any additional works to the existing house or for personal purposes.  A member may also choose to withdraw EPF funds to pay the housing loan's monthly instalments, refinance a property, or settle an existing home loan  home loan from a financial institution approved by the EPF Board.

5. Treat a medical condition

EPF members who need money for healthcare treatment or to buy medical aid equipment, whether it is for their own use or a family member's use, may withdraw their funds from Account II.  Funds can be withdrawn to treat illnesses specified by the EPF Board including cancer, depression, major burns, heart attack, and severe asthma (for children under 16 years old).  The full list of critical illnesses and medical aid equipment approved by the EPF Board are available on the EPF website.Do note that EPF states that a member cannot use the funds to seek alternative treatments such as acupuncture or traditional medication.

6. Hajj

Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam, where Muslims are obligated to perform a pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca.  Muslim EPF members may choose to withdraw their money to supplement the basic expenses incurred when they are performing Hajj. It is noted that the funds will be made directly to members' account in Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH), a government-linked financial organisation that manages pilgrimage activities.You can read more about the Hajj Withdrawal on the EPF website.

7. Leave the country

Members who wish to withdraw all their money from their EPF account to emigrate to another country can do so, but they must first renounce and relinquish their Malaysian citizenship.  Other members who are not Malaysians can also withdraw their EPF money by revoking their Permanent Resident (PR) status or canceling their Residence Pass. To learn more about how you can apply for this withdrawal, visit the EPF website here.

These are just some of the ways members can utilise their EPF funds for

You may refer to the EPF website for the full list of pre-retirement withdrawals that are available.  Take note of all the terms and conditions that apply to the withdrawal applications as EPF exercises stringent regulations to ensure that withdrawals are not made carelessly. It is, after all, their responsibility to help members prepare for their post-retirement days.

Speaking of which, the government is rewarding young Malaysians who contribute to a PRS (Private Retirement Scheme) with RM1,000 each. Find out more here:

                Malaysians In This Age Bracket Are Entitled To A RM1,000 Incentive If They Invest In PRS

The incentive was increased from RM500 to RM1000 during the tabling of Budget 2017.

Ampang Hospital Houseman Traumatised After He Was Allegedly Bullied By A Specialist

A houseman at Ampang Hospital recently spoke about how he was allegedly bullied at his workplace

Image via NST

Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported on 29 June that the houseman, who only wanted to be identified as James, was allegedly roughed up by a specialist working at Ampang Hospital in Selangor. The doctor purportedly screamed and shouted profanities at James after he wrongly presented a case during their rounds on 28 June. "After he finished shouting at me, we continued our rounds. "Suddenly, he turned around and grabbed me by the collar, clenched his fist, and asked me: 'You nak saya tumbuk awak?' (You want me to punch you?)" James was quoted as saying.

According to James, the specialist threatened him again later

He claimed that the doctor had grabbed him for the second time in the day. This time, he was lifted slightly off the ground.James added that the incident was witnessed by patients, nurses, housemen, and medical officers who were at the scene. "This was the second time it happened. In April, I made a police report after he threatened to punch me in the confines of a procedure room."He didn’t touch me then, so it was just a police report to protect myself." James proceeded to lodge a police report following the incident. He also reportedly lodged a complaint to the hospital's director.

Following media reports on his case, James has revealed more details about the worrying work culture at the hospital

Speaking to NSTP yesterday, 1 July, James reportedly said that he was traumatised by the experience, and was considering to seek professional help from a psychiatrist to work through the traumatic ordeal."As housemen, we are in a training programme which allows for certain mistakes. There should be room to learn and grow. In any case, this specialist has no jurisdiction to assault me in any manner. But, this has been going on for some time."I've watched this happen to other colleagues as well. But many do not want to speak up for fear that their current posting will be extended to the point that they themselves give up on the system," he said, as reported by New Straits Times (NST).

He also claimed that what happened to him was a common occurrence at the hospital, urging victims of such abuse to speak up

"Mine is not an isolated case. There have been many incidences where housemen have suffered depression, mental illness, battled with suicidal thoughts, and just given up on the profession or life in general."And in a professional field such a medicine, these occurrences should not be present. Hence, housemen need to be united, instead of allowing this profession to be tainted. We need to support each other and bring this abuse to light. Are we training those in the medical field to be gangsters? We also have to ask ourselves, why is there a 20% dropout rate among housemen?"James added that there will be times when housemen make mistakes, but he stressed that there is a proper way to handle such situations, not by physical or verbal abuse.

The police were investigating the case, according to health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah

Noor Hisham said in a statement on 30 June, that Ampang Hospital has received a verbal complaint on the issue from the said houseman.He added that hospital authorities had conducted an immediate investigation into the case where the doctor concerned gave his statement to the hospital's director as well as to the police.Noor Hisham, who stressed that strict action will be taken against the relevant party if convicted of wrongdoing, has urged the public not to create any speculation on the matter, especially since the case is under police investigation.Meanwhile, The Star reported Health Minister Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad as saying on 30 June that such "toxic work culture" of healthcare practitioners has to come to an end.

[PHOTOS] A Stranded Bus Inside UM Campus Has Been Transformed Into A Cute AF Airbnb

This old, decommissioned Universiti Malaya (UM) bus has been given a new lease at life

Image via Rumah No.2 Universiti Malaya/Facebook

It is now a super chic, minimalistic Airbnb that's available for rent

Image via Rumah No.2 Universiti Malaya/Facebook

The Airbnb host told SAYS that the antique bus had been stranded on the university's campus grounds since 2013

It was only recently given a complete makeover by two of UM's sustainability advocacy groups - Water Warriors and the Rimba Project."The idea to renovate and save this vintage bus came from UM's former deputy vice chancellor of development, Prof Dr Faisal Rafiq Mahamd Adikan," Water Warrior member Siti Norasiah Abd Kadir told SAYS in an interview."And so it was converted into this cool living space!"She said that if not for their initiative, UM had wanted to dispose of the bus.

This was what the bus looked like before the extreme makeover

However, after six months of planning and renovation, the bus has transformed into a fully furnished living space called Rumah No.2

"We were lucky that when the idea was proposed, the architects and engineers at UM's Department of Development and Estate Maintenance (JPPHB) were onboard with the idea," said Siti Norasiah.An architect from JPPHB, Nurul Husna Abd Rahman, worked closely with a project officer from The Rimba Project, Nurul Fitrah Mohd Ariffin Marican, to turn the idea into a reality."And of course, a contractor was commissioned to complete the work based on the designs discussed by the team," Siti Norasiah further explained.This is how the bus looks like now:

The converted bus now has a bedroom, kitchenette, and even a sitting area, that are all equipped with air-conditioning.

Parked against the backdrop of the UM campus, the upcycled guesthouse was made as green and sustainable as the team possibly could

On the inside, the environment conservation groups gave the bus energy-efficient LED lighting but also tried to allow as much natural sunlight to filter in as possible to avoid electricity wastage."We also have a water filtration system for the washbasin and decorated the interior using as many upcycled plastic products as possible," said Siti Norasiah.

As for outdoors, the team ensured the surrounding area remained as shady and inviting for visitors and wildlife - apparently it is a great place for birdwatching - as it was before."A tow truck was used to move the bus from the main campus and a crane was used to lift up the bus into the house compound. We made sure no trees were harmed in the process," said Siti Norasiah.The team also planted an edible garden behind the guesthouse and encourage guests to help themselves to the vegetable and fruits as well as play with the host's rabbits and chickens in the backyard of the main house.

Siti Norasiah shared with SAYS that there were also initially ideas to turn the bus into a cafe, a library, or even a nursery for plants, but they finally decided to turn it into accommodation for rental

"[This] could help the team generate income for our environmental conservation efforts in the campus and for the outside community. The bus could also serve as a space for environmental education purposes since it is quite spacious!"Lastly, she said that the bus also serves as a living museum for many generations of UM students to visit and travel back in time."It certainly has nostalgic values to former staff and alumni from the memories they've shared when we posted about this bus."

Annuar Musa Says PM Will Chair A Special COVID-19 Meeting For Stern & Immediate Action

On Friday night, 2 October, after Malaysia recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases in a day, Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa took to his official Twitter handle to announce that the Prime Minister will chair a special meeting on the pandemic

"Tomorrow, PM himself will chair a special COVID-19 meeting," the FT minister tweeted at 7.28pm.Annuar hoped that there "may be stern and immediate action" to deal with the pandemic situation in the country following the special COVID-19 meeting by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Zahid Hamidi Warns More BN Politicians Will Face Corruption Charges If Party Loses GE15

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

UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has warned the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition politicians that they will face a fate far worse than the 14th general election (GE14) if BN loses GE15

"GE15 is the mother of all general elections in our country. If we cannot win, our fate will be worse than GE14. It's not just me who will be charged," Zahid said while pointing at BN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, who is more popularly known as Tok Mat, that he's next to be charged with corruption."Tok Mat, you're on the waiting list."This prompted laughter from the crowd as well as MIC president Tan Sri Vigneswaran Sanasee, who was sitting on the podium with Tok Mat and MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.Zahid then cautioned Vigneswaran, M Saravanan, and the MCA president."Tan Seri Vicky, don't laugh, you are also included (in the list to be charged with corruption), (even) Datuk Seri Saravanan, (and) Ka Siong, they won't forget you. You will be charged as well," Zahid remarked, to further laughter from his UMNO colleague, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, on the podium."Hisham, you don't smile (they won't spare you, either)."

Zahid claimed that he and others in the BN coalition were charged in the court of public opinion but that the truth would eventually prevail

According to the UMNO president, BN is not challenging the judicial system but is fighting against charges that are "politically motivated" and "selective prosecution" being conducted by vindictive people.He goes on to claim that BN, however, will not do the same if the coalition wins GE15."Politics and victory [are] not about [being] vindictive, it's not about taking revenge [against] other people, taking revenge [against] your rival — especially your political rival," Zahid said to thunderous applause, adding that never in its history did BN take revenge against its political rivals.Zahid, who was recently freed of all 40 charges of receiving bribes for the foreign visa system (VLN) contract, is facing another 47 charges of criminal breach of trust, graft, and money laundering.

Watch the video footage of his remarks here:

Parliament was dissolved on Monday, 10 October, paving the way for GE15, which must be held in 60 days from the date of dissolution:

"My client was influenced by her ex-boyfriend," Mizan's lawyer, Norhasham Hasan was quoted as saying by The Star today. Norhasham had asked the court for a more lenient sentence on the college student as Mizan was young and it was her first offence."She needs to support her family, as her father is no longer working," he added. However, the prosecution asked for a heavy sentence on Mizan as the offense was premeditated and involved a dangerous weapon.

A 39-Year-Old Man In Labuan Had Been Raping His Stepdaughter Since She Was 10

On Tuesday, 17 March, a police report was lodged against a 39-year-old man in Labuan by his stepdaughter, who is five weeks pregnant

According to a report in NST Online, the stepdaughter, who had been living with her mother and stepfather since 2010 after her birth parents separated, only confessed to the heinous acts committed by her stepfather after realising that she was pregnant.The teenage girl, who is still schooling, had been raped by her stepfather since she was 10, with the latest incident taking place on 10 March this year.The stepfather was arrested on Tuesday and has been remanded from Wednesday for further investigation, Labuan Police chief Superintendent Mohamad Farid Ahmad said.

However, while the stepfather has been arrested, the 16-year-old girl's troubles are far from over. She is reportedly suffering from emotional disturbance after years of abuse and sexual grooming.

She is so heavily influenced by the stepfather's years of manipulations that she initially did not want to lodge the police report against him, claiming that she "loved" him.The man started grooming her when she was 10 by showing her pornographic materials such as videos and photos. He would touch and caress her inappropriately.About a month into grooming, the stepfather, who at the time was 33, raped the girl when her mother, his wife, was not at home, according to NST Online.

Over the period of time, the underage girl was manipulated into having sexual relations with six other men who befriended her through WeChat, a messaging app which has often been used by sexual predators to find young kids in the country and exploit them

Reportedly, the girl's mother was unaware of what her second husband was doing with her daughter in their home. He is said to be the family's sole breadwinner.

Speaking of WeChat, last year parents of kids who use the social messaging app were warned about its dangers in a Facebook post

The Facebook post by Zeeda Aziz had reminded parents to be careful about the dangers faced by children who access such apps on their tablets and smartphones.She had said that she dedicated the post to all parents who allow their children to own a smartphone and particularly those who own a WeChat account."If they use that (WeChat) application, please monitor their movements as much as possible. Your child may be a victim of rape or become a rapist," she had written.

They Gang-Raped This Woman And Crushed Her Skull For Saying No To A Marriage Proposal

The Haryana police found the mutilated body of a 20-year-old female in the Rohtak district on Thursday, 11 May.

The young girl is believed to have been kidnapped, taken to a secluded area, and allegedly gang-raped by at least six men.

The girl's body was found in a remote industrial area in Rothak.

News reports said that her body was found near a the secluded Industrial Model Township in Urban Estate, Rohtak. Rothak is one of the 22 states in the Haryana state in Northern India. The girl was reportedly kidnapped from Sonipat on 9 May when she was on her way to work by the main culprit, Sumit Kumar, 24, and his accomplice, Vikas, 28. Daily Mail Online India reported a police officer as saying that the victim was living with her mother. The parents had lodged a missing persons report to the police when they realised that she didn't return home from work that day. Both suspects have been arrested by the Haryana police and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been deployed to further investigate the case.

The authorities have since revealed more gory details of the alleged rape and murder

The victim's body was first discovered by a passerby who then alerted the police.
Image via Daily Mail Online India

Indian news sites reported that the autopsy showed that the girl's skull had been shattered and sharp-edged objects are believed to have been inserted into her private parts.Her face was allegedly smashed with a brick and the suspects apparently ran her over with a car to ensure that her body and face are unidentifiable.India Today reported that even the police was stunned to see the brutal extent of the young woman's injuries. "The victim was tortured and her body was mutilated and tortured after the gang rape. She was killed after being raped involving at least seven people. Her skull was smashed in a way which indicates that she was run over by a vehicle in order to hide her identity," read the report by the forensic team as mentioned in an article by India Today on 13 May. Hindustan Times reported that by the time the authorities found the decomposed body, the stray dogs had already bitten off parts of her face and the lower portion of the body. Meanwhile, station house officer Ajay Kumar said that the victim was first intoxicated with sedatives that are believed to have been mixed in a soft drink and given to her. "It is believed that the victim was raped and killed after she fell unconscious," added Ajay Kumar, as reported by Daily Mail Online India.

The victim's family has revealed that the suspect was actually a neighbour that has been harassing their daughter for the past year, forcing her to marry him. She had apparently turned him down because he was unemployed.

Sumit had allegedly been stalking the victim for about a week before she was raped and murdered. Reports said that the girl had even slapped Sumit for blocking her way once. In a report by Hindustan Times, Sonepat superintendent of police Ashwin Shenvi, said that the victim's family had indeed made a verbal complaint against the suspect following the harassment but had later withdrawn the complaint, saying that they had "struck a compromise". The victim's family has demanded for capital punishment for the accused. "Uska itna bura haal kiya.. aisa kisiki beti ka nai hona chaiye…sarkar kehti hai beti paida karo aur ye darinde aise hatya karne lag rahe hain…(Such brutality should not happen with anyone's daughter..the government promotes girl child birth while these goons are so brutally killing them)," said the victim's mother as reported by the news site.

The main suspect, Sumit, has since confessed to the crime. "I was in love with her and she also loved me. There was some altercation between us and I killed her with a brick."

Daily Mail Online India reported that after the culprit kidnapped the girl, they took her to Rothak, near Parsvnath City and asked her to marry him again to which she refused. That angered him and led to him killing her. It was also reported that almost 90% of rapes in India are committed by people the victim knows.

This comes just days after India's supreme court upheld the death penalty for the four men who were convicted in the Delhi gang-rape and murder case that happened back in 2012

In Malaysia, a woman was allegedly gang-raped by two men at a gambling outlet in Puchong on 11 May:

The crime took place on Thursday night around 9:54pm.

[PHOTOS] Malaysiakini Office Attacked With Red Paint And Dead Duck

Malaysiakini Decides To Adopt The Duck Left During The Red Paint Attack At Their Office

Malaysiakini has decided to adopt the duck that was left behind by vandals who attacked the independent news portal’s office with red paint and suspected black magic earlier this week.

Malaysiakini has decided to adopt the duck that was left behind by vandals who attacked the independent news portal’s office with red paint and suspected black magic earlier this week.

        malaysiakini.com

The duck, which was badly traumatised following hours of being tied and kept inside a sealed box, had problems walking after it was released. The bird, which was initially thought dead, was found in a cardboard box placed next to the office entrance in the early morning hours on Tuesday.

        malaysiakini.com

After it was taken out of the box by the police, the duck appeared weak and irate, pecking at the forensic team as well as Malaysiakini staff members who tried to tend to it. As part of the investigation into the attack, police officers took the duck for forensic examination and it was later returned to Malaysiakini.

        malaysiakini.com

However, on Wednesday - the day after the Feb 25 attack - the police asked for the duck again, apparently for further investigation. According to Malaysiakini editor-in-chief Steven Gan, the police did not explain why they wanted the duck back.

        malaysiakini.com

The duck, which was badly traumatised following hours of being tied and kept inside a sealed box, had problems walking after it was released.

"We do not want to get into an ugly custody battle with the police, but we’re not going to hand the duck over until they tell us why they want it for the second time," he said. Gan added that the duck will eventually have a permanent home at Malaysiakini's new office in Petaling Jaya once renovations are completed in the middle of this year.

        malaysiakini.com

Given the lack of space in the existing Malaysiakini office in Bangsar Utama, the duck is currently under the care of a good Samaritan who volunteered to nurse the bird back to health. "It is walking now and makes a lot of noise," said the volunteer, who is an experienced pet owner.

Apart being splashed with red paint and presented with a live duck, the news portal also received three photographs of DAP MP Teresa Kok sealed in a transparent plastic covers, which also contained a fistful of rice grains and a needle each, wrapped with red thread.

        malaysiakini.com

A check with those who have knowledge in such matters revealed that rice and needles are commonly used by practitioners of the black arts.

        malaysiakini.com

Declining to be named, one expert said: “The rice grains represent the ‘periuk nasi’ (livelihood) of a person or organisation. And the needle... Well what happens when there is a needle in your rice? It can kill you.”

        malaysiakini.com

“So this package was aimed at destroying the livelihood of the person or organisation. “However, in this case, we cannot be certain if the person responsible had intended to destroy the politician or Malaysiakini’s livelihood. Perhaps it was both,” he added.
