Mum Claims JB School Made Her 7-Year-Old Stand Under Scorching Sun For Being 10 Mins Late

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

A mother in Johor Bahru has claimed that her seven-year-old son was made to stand under the scorching sun for coming late to school

In a 13-second clip posted on her TikTok account @DvaFella yesterday, 10 May, the mother expressed her displeasure with the actions of a religious school teacher for exposing her son to the hot sun.The mother, in a lengthy caption under the clip, stated that despite the Ministry of Health (MOH) requesting schools to practise caution given the heatwave in the country, the ustazah decided to punish her son for arriving 10 minutes late by making him stand under the scorching sun."My child was isolated from the students at the assembly and told to stand underneath the scorching sun at 2pm, whilst the ustazah was standing under the shade," she wrote in the caption of the viral clip.

She also questioned the wisdom behind the punishment, given the fact that there have been multiple deaths from the heatwave

"It breaks my heart to see my son punished like this; with his schoolbag, under the scorching heat. He was humiliated, ostracised, and wasn't allowed to join the assembly line for being 10 minutes late," she said.The mother also highlighted the fact that classes had not even started and the classrooms were all empty, as the students were all still in the assembly when her son arrived at the school."Even if they wanted to punish my child, the teacher could have asked him to stand in the shade instead. Such stupid thinking the ustazah has... doesn't she or the school have common sense?" she asked."There are many cases of death due to heatstroke. Who will take responsibility if my child collapses? You will wash your hands clean and the parents will have to face the consequences," she added.According to the mother, her son was not late on purpose."We were late for a reason. I am not a stupid mother that doesn't know the school rules. Just because he was going to be 10 minutes late, doesn't mean I'm not going to let him miss school," she said.She also noted that the reason she did not intervene is because she didn't want to disturb the assembly.

Meanwhile, the Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ) has taken note of the incident and has said that it will investigate the mother's claim

State Islamic Religious Affairs Committee chairperson Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid said that MAINJ's Islamic education department and the District Islamic Education Office have been directed to make a report."We are aware of the incident and we have asked these departments to investigate and prepare a complete report on it. The investigation will be conducted in detail," he told New Straits Times today, 11 May.

  @dvafella Dalam pada pihak KPM mengambil langkah berjaga² pada musim panas ni..anak aku selamba je ustazah denda JEMUR tengah cuaca panas atas alasan anak aku lambat ke sekolah. Dah la di pulaukan diasingkan berdiri jauh dari perhimpunan pelajar² lain disidainya anak aku sorang² bawah panas terik jam 2petang sedangkan ustazah tu pandai pulak berteduh bawah koridor.  Makan hati jugak aku yang tengok anak aku baru berusia 7tahun darjah 1 kena DENDA macam tu terkontang kanting sorang² diBAWAH panas terik. DiMALUKAN DiPULAUkan dari masuk barisan perhimpunan sekolah. Tidak dibenarkan masuk barisan perhimpunan akibat lambat 10minit. Waktu pembelajaran masih belum bermula..semua pelajar belum lagi masuk ke bilik darjah. Masih lagi dalam perhimpunan. Agak² la kalau nak denda pun, tempat teduh ada kenapa ko JEMUR anak aku tengah panas terikk! Apa la bodoh sangat pemikiran..akal ada tak guna ke? Musim panas kematian akibat strok haba pun dah banyak kes sekarang. Kalau buatnya anak aku rebah time tu ko nk bertanggungjawab ke? Lepas tangan je alih² mak bapak jugak kena hadap. Maaf ya aku dah tak boleh sabar tengok anak aku kena denda macam tu. Depan² mata aku pulak kena sidai  tengah panas macam tu, kat rumah aku on aircond 24jam ko pandai² sidai anak aku tengah PANAS. Risaunya dgn kes stroke haba sekarang. Anak aku lambat bukan sengaja² aku nak hantar lambat, anak aku lambat bersebab. Aku bukan ibu yang bodoh yang tak tahu peraturan sekolah. Takkan lambat 10minit menyebabkan anak dah tak boleh hadir ke sekolah terus pada hari itu. Jadi warga pendidik ni kena peka..kena bijak kena ada jiwa. Pandang budak tu macam anak ko sendiri, budak tu baru darjah 1 kot. Baru nak belajar kenal alam persekolahan yg sebenar. Banyak cara lagi ko boleh denda kenapa cara bodoh jugak ko pilih? Salah ke kalau ko denda bawah tempat teduh macam ko berteduh bawah koridor?? Ko pandai cari tempat teduh nak berucap.  #sekolahagamasesipetang #Pejabatpendidikanagamajohor #kementerianpendidikanmalaysia #pejabatagamanegerijohor @Fadhlina Sidek  @KPM    Lagu Sedih - Muhammad abdul jafar


Dogs Are Being Trained To Be The 'Protectors' Of Cheetahs In India

Recently, India reintroduced eight cheetahs to its Kuno National Park. The big cats were declared extinct in the country in 1952.

The eight wild cheetahs — five of which are female — were airlifted from Namibia.They were first transported by road from a game park north of the Namibian capital of Windhoek and then boarded a chartered Boeing 747 dubbed "Cat plane" for an 11-hour flight, according to The Guardian.The "Cat plane" landed in Gwalior, in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. From there, the cheetahs were transported via a helicopter to the grasslands of Kuno National Park.The arrival of the cheetahs in India marks a significant development for wildlife and tourism in the country after the majestic animals were driven to extinction seven decades ago."A long wait is over," Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on his official Twitter account on 17 September. He also shared photos of the big cats in their new environment.

A long wait is over, the Cheetahs have a home in India at the Kuno National Park. pic.twitter.com/8FqZAOi62F— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) September 17, 2022

Now, a squad of 'super sniffer' dogs will safeguard the cheetahs

While the cheetahs are fitted with satellite collars for their movements to be tracked by a dedicated team that ensures their safety, the Indian government is taking extra measures to protect them from poachers.On that front, a group of six German Shepherds are being trained at the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force's (ITBP) National Training Centre for Dogs in Panchkula to be deployed to the Kuno National Park.Leading the group of dogs is a five-month-old German Shepherd named 'Ilu', who will be deployed to the national park after seven months of training in April next year, reported The Economic Times.

The dogs are being trained to detect tiger and leopard skins, bones, elephant tusks, red sanders, and several other illegal wildlife products

According to Ishwar Singh Duhan, Inspector General of Basic Training Center of Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (BTC-ITBP) in Panchkula, they are providing specialised training to the dogs."The dogs will be trained to detect tiger skin and bones during the specialised training course. These dogs are being trained by us in collaboration with TRAFFIC (a wildlife trade monitoring network) and World Wide Fund for Nature India (WWF-India)," Ishwar was quoted as saying by Asian News International (ANI)."Dogs trained at ITBP dog training centre have a high rate of wildlife crime detection. There are scores of success stories where dogs have helped in the arrest of poachers and recoveries of wildlife species and their remains," he added.Meanwhile, Sanjeev Sharma, handler of Ilu, who is currently employed with the forest department at Kuno National Park, said that Ilu is not supposed to protect the cheetahs because they can protect themselves."She will be deployed on the periphery of the national park along with forest guards to protect cheetahs and other animals from poachers," he said, adding that Ilu is like a child to him.

Seller Prepares RM300 Worth Of Doughnuts Only To Have Customer Cancel At The Last Minute

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

Running a small business can be a great way to bring a long-time passion to life and make money while you're at it.
However, it can also come with its woes as this seller, Mieraa Eiya, has come to find out after a customer cancelled a big order on her at the last minute.

On 9 November, Mieraa shared her story on Facebook about her experience with a customer who ordered 30 packs of red velvet doughnuts from her family-owned business, amounting to RM300 in total.Speaking briefly with SAYS, Mieraa said that the customer contacted her through Facebook Messenger and claimed that they were ordering the doughnuts for an event they were holding at Setia City Mall in Shah Alam.After placing their order, Mieraa asked the customer to make a deposit on their order but they told her that they would only pay once the order arrived at the venue, saying that it would be easier for them to settle because they were busy handling the event.Trusting the customer, Mieraa accepted the arrangement and proceeded to prepare the large order.

Image via Mieraa Eiya (Facebook)

Mieraa requested to send the doughnuts before 7pm and the customer agreed to that time frame, saying as long as the order arrived before 8pm, when their event was scheduled to begin

Making good of her word, Mieraa informed the customer at 6.35pm that her brother was on his way to deliver the doughnuts. She asked the customer if they could provide her with a contact number so her brother could call them when he arrived but the customer just told her to wait.When her brother was almost at the agreed location, Mieraa continued asking the customer how could her brother contact them to make the delivery. That was when the customer dropped a bombshell on Mieraa and merely typed, "I would like to cancel la, dik. Bye," and proceeded to block Mieraa on Facebook Messenger.

Image via Mieraa Eiya (Facebook)

Having such a large order cancelled at the last minute, Mieraa relayed the incident on Facebook, while trying to find customers to buy the 30 packs of doughnuts from her by the same night

Thankfully, Mieraa managed to rally enough customers to buy the RM300 worth of doughnuts that were almost wasted.When SAYS asked Mieraa why she didn't make a police report on the incident, she said that she didn't want to escalate the issue and just accepted that it was not her lucky day. Plus, she didn't have enough information on the customer to make a case for herself.Mieraa said that she felt very shocked and upset at the situation."I didn't expect a customer like this. We [Mieraa and her family] were enthusiastically preparing the customer's order until we did not even have time to rest ourselves. In the end, they just wilfully cancelled on us at the last minute," she said.Moving forward, Mieraa added that she will definitely be asking for deposits from customers from now on to avoid similar issues from happening again.

Mieraa's post has since made its rounds on Facebook and many netizens offered their thoughts on the situation

One Facebook user condemned the behaviour of the customer, saying, "These are the actions of someone who is envious of our business. They don't want us to succeed so they purposely cause us lots of stress until we no longer want to continue our business... These people are dangerous."

Image via Facebook

Many advised Mieraa to always secure a deposit before proceeding with large volume orders.One netizen wrote, "To reduce risk, sellers must ask for a deposit for large, high stakes order. The seller has to be prudent... There have been so many stories about orders being cancelled at the last minute. We sellers need to be alert."

Instead of unfulfilled orders, this small-business owner had to deal with a rude aunty demanding he walk one hour to deliver her apple tart for free:

Angry Customer Attacks Delivery Rider For Allegedly Not Sending Food Right To His Doorstep

A foodpanda rider was recently assaulted for allegedly not sending a customer's delivery right up to the doorstep

A Twitter user, simply known as Daniel, took online to share a video of the incident that he received from a friend in a foodpanda rider group chat.In the 20-second video, a man can be seen angrily holding a delivery rider to the ground and repeatedly trying to choke him.Speaking to SAYS, Daniel said that according to his friend, the customer had insisted for his food to be delivered to his door so that he did not have to go outside.However, likely due to COVID-19 standard operating procedures (SOP), the security guards did not allow the rider to go upstairs, which was when the customer lost his temper and came down to start a fight.

Image via @afixqs (Twitter)

While he acknowledged there could be another side to the story, Daniel, a food delivery rider himself, said that his colleague should not have been attacked

He continued writing in a thread about how it was all too common for food delivery drivers to be treated badly by customers."I know some have said that it could be the rider's fault, but as a rider myself, I don't see myself wanting to get into a situation as bad as this," he tweeted."Let's say, even if the rider had argued with the customer, you wouldn't have thrown yourself at a delivery rider and started throwing punches at him like in a wrestling match, would you?"

Image via @afixqs (Twitter)

Daniel reminded people that food delivery riders would never want to arrive late or make their customers angry on purpose

"This is our income, why would we want to mess with it?" he pointed out.Instead, he asked people to consider that there are times when vendors may be behind schedule in preparing the food or the rider could be fulfilling three to four orders at the same time. He said riders do not take complaints lightly as they often get wrongfully fired."I don't see any rider who would want to simply get terminated. We are doing it for a living, to earn money, and not for fun. Applying for this job was not easy too, so many of us won't throw it away just like that."

Daniel's thread, along with the video, was retweeted over 7,000 times and started a discussion among netizens about working with difficult customers

"I hate the saying 'the customer is always right'. People who have worked in retail knows that there are many customers with attitudes like pigs," said a netizen.

Image via Twitter

Another said, "Customers like these are stupid. In my case, if I order from foodpanda, I will always be ready to apologise to my rider for the hassle, especially when it suddenly rains.""I will even give them double the tip for sending the food if that happens," they added.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, others watching the video could not believe that the person recording it did not help to stop the fight."Whoever took this footage was the worst, they must have taken it just to go viral," replied a Twitter user.

Image via Twitter

SAYS has reached out to foodpanda to verify the incident but has yet to receive a reply.

Saifuddin: We Do Not Deny That Some Immigration Officers Are Involved In Misconduct

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

Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail today, 5 July, addressed concerns about misconduct among immigration officers after a recent incident involving one of his Cabinet colleagues

According to Saifuddin, the Cabinet held a meeting this morning to discuss allegations of corruption, abuse of power, and misconduct among personnel attached to the Immigration Department at KLIA.The meeting comes after Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing was involved in a fracas with officers at KLIA, where he was alleged to have forced his way into the KLIA Terminal 1 arrival hall.Saifuddin said the Cabinet discussed the KLIA incident and that it does not deny the existence of misconduct among some immigration officers, however, it also notes that the "commitment, discipline, and service level" displayed by most immigration officers are good, reported New Straits Times."[We agree] that the commitment, discipline, and service level displayed by most immigration officers are good. If not, it would not be possible for the international main gateway to be handled well. But at the same time, the Cabinet does not deny that some immigration officers are involved (in misconduct)," he said.

Saifuddin assured his ministry will give its full cooperation until the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) concludes its probe

"I spoke with MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki. I told him that the ministry is ready to give our full cooperation until the probe concludes. It will tell us whether or not any misconduct happened among some officers," he said during a press conference at the Ministry of Home Affairs headquarters.He also shared the ministry will introduce several changes at the country's entry points.One such change will now see the power to deny entry to foreign visitors rest with only senior immigration personnel with an officer grade of KP41 and above, Saifuddin explained.Previously, it was decided by junior enforcers with a KP29 officer grade, reported Malay Mail.Another measure for the handling of foreign arrivals will see the placing of help desk officers who can speak languages such as English, Mandarin, Arab, and Tamil to ease communications with foreign travellers.

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

Netizens responded to the tweet by calling for authorities to take action against the woman.Several people also tagged the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and Ministry of Health (MOH) Twitter accounts.

One person wrote, "As this was caught on camera, can the authorities please find and mete out punishment in accordance to Malaysian laws? This will be a great reminder to all."

Another user commented, "How did she manage to get through the mall guards at the escalators/entrance door before entering the mall? Just fine her RM10,000 please."

Malaysia Airlines Will Be Flying To S'pore With Fuel Made Of Cooking Oil For The 1st Time

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

Malaysia Airlines will be taking its maiden flight fueled by 'cooking oil' between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore this Sunday, 5 June

In a press release on Monday, 30 May, Malaysia Airlines announced that they will operate the first passenger flight between the two neighbouring countries using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in conjunction with World Environment Day.The SAF-powered MH603 flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore and the MH606 flight from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur are in line with Malaysia Airlines' commitment to a Sustainable Tomorrow.The company said the flights are one of many steps to progress towards achieving a cleaner, more viable fuel source for regular flights by 2025.

To celebrate World Environment Day, the airline is giving a 15% discount on flights between the two countries on 5 June

"Guests can book from now until 4 June 2022 to enjoy up to 15% off when they travel on the SAF-powered flights," read the press release."To enjoy the discount, the promo code 'SAF2022' must be entered upon checkout [on the] Malaysia Airlines website.""Guests are encouraged to make their bookings [the] soonest possible as tickets are selling fast. MH603 is scheduled to depart Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) at 12:25, arriving at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) at 13:30. MH606 will depart SIN at 14:40, and arrive at KUL at 15:40."

It stated that the SAF-powered flights will be operated on the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, using a blend of approximately 38% SAF and conventional jet fuel

"Compared to conventional fossil jet fuel, this sustainable fuel option, made from 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials (such as cooking oil), can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%," it added.

While it is the first time Malaysia Airlines is offering SAF-powered flights between Singapore and Malaysia, the company had in December last year between Kuala Lumpur and Amsterdam using the fuel, reported New Straits Times.The airline partnered with Petronas Dagangan Bhd (PetDag) and Neste — a Finland-based company that produces refined oil products — to make the SAF-powered flight possible.

The flight took off from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on 16 December 2021 and arrived at Kuala Lumpur the next day.

Sukan badminton sudah tidak asing lagi antara sukan yang menjadi tumpuan di Malaysia. Seperti yang kita tahu, sukan badminton ini telah melahirkan ramai pemain-pemain hebat di Malaysia, dan antara nama yang sering disebut sehingga kini adalah anak-anak Sidek.Anak-anak Sidek menjadi fenomena negara suatu ketika dulu kerana kesemua ahli keluarga ini pernah menjadi wakil untuk Malaysia dalam kejohanan-kejohanan terbesar di dalam dan luar negara.

[VIDEO] Soon You Can Zip Around The Streets Of KL In These Motorised Roller Skates

Many of us have dreamt about self-driving cars, and even controlling objects with our mind. With advances in technology, some of these dreams have become reality. So what about motorised roller skates?

Image via RocketSkates

Meet RocketSkates, world's first smart wearable mobility, electric-powered footwear for city dwellers

Image via Acton Global

In the space between somewhat practical vehicles like the Segway and completely fad-driven curios like the Tamagotchi, there exists a middle ground of outlandish gadget that almost seems to make sense, but is weird enough that you might be too embarrassed to use it in public. It's still early days, but that appears to be the case with Acton's RocketSkates, which look like a joint creation by the art departments of Judge Dredd and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

        mashable.com

The brainchild of company founder and chief technical officer Peter Treadway, the RocketSkates take square aim at urban residents who too often find themselves at the intersection of too-close-to-drive and too-far-to-walk. “In the late 1950s, people were predicting things like flying cars, jet packs and rocket skates,” Treadway says. “Well, one down and two to go.” (Actually, the flying car is a reality, courtesy of flights of fancy like the PAL-V One, Aeromobil and Terrafugia. But it’s hard to pick nits with the progenitor of something as novel as wearable transportation.)

        bbc.com

Offering to motorise your feet, a demonstration video indicates that you can use the RocketSkates to traverse the city at fairly rapid speeds, however, there are limitations. WATCH:

×

The demo video, which aims to show how fun the skates can be, also brings to mind the possibility of leg and knee injuries. Sure, the device works on a perfectly smooth surface, but what if you're traveling through the city at a fairly rapid clip, and hit a damaged piece of pavement?

        mashable.com

Unlike a bike or even a skateboard, you won't be able to hop off when hitting a bad patch of road. Veteran joggers, propelled by their own power, know that even landing awkwardly on a slightly damaged surface can cause knee problems — adding motorized power to the same scenario would likely cause problems.

        dailymail.co.uk

The  rubber-wheeled super skates, which resemble Lego on wheels, or retro-geek mobility suitable for Maximus Prime and his ilk, are not short on technical specifications:

Each skate features by two 50w brushless motors, one inside each front wheel. Rear-mounted lithium-ion battery packs, which fully charge in 1½ hours, power the motors. The skates “talk” to each other via microprocessors, so they both maintain the same speed. Top speed is estimated at 12mph, depending on various factors such as rider weight and wind speed. Maximum rider weight: 275lbs. Dimensions: 8in x 8½in x 9in. Weight: 7lbs each .

        entrepreneur.com

Powered by lithium-ion battery packs, the range and run times vary by model, of which there are three

Acton R RocketSkates R-10 'Deep Space Black'.
Image via Acton Global

The skates, powered by lithium-ion battery packs, come in three configurations with varying limits of usage: Rocket Red at 45 minutes (or 6 miles), Terminator Chrome at 70 minutes (or 8 miles) and Deep Space Black, which lasts for 90 minutes (or 10 miles).

        engadget.com

The R6 can travel six miles and run for 45 minutes on a full charge; the R8 tops out at eight miles and 70 minutes; and the R10 maxes out at 10 miles and 90 minutes. The three models retail for $499, $599 and $699 respectively. As for hills, anything greater than a five- to eight-degree incline is a no-go.

        bbc.com

Equipped with two hub motors and an on-board microprocessor, the operation is decidedly simple

Image via aolcdn.com

Each skate is equipped with two hub motors and an on-board microprocessor, so they can synchronize with each other to maintain the same speed. Perhaps the most innovative aspect of the RocketSkates is the fact that no remote control is needed.

        mashable.com

Just push off and tilt the skate forward to engage the motor – and fully embrace commuting or interpretive-dance whims. Tilting a skate backward engages an electric brake. Tilt it farther back and a mechanical brake kicks in, Treadway says.

        bbc.com

You can also monitor the status of the skates, and track your routes, using an accompanying app for iOS and Android

Image via dailymail.co.uk

RocketSkates offer a downloadable smartphone app that displays info such as battery life, miles travelled, suggested routes and speed.  Treadway also wants to  connect RocketSkates enthusiasts via Bluetooth.

        engadget.com

The app gives you a variety of information like how far you've traveled, mileage and your skates' battery life. It can even track your route for you and let you compare it with others. There's also a potential for "interactive gaming," though Treadway tells us this might come later depending on what developers do with its SDK. Last but not least, you can use the app to wirelessly control the lead skate as if it were an RC car for a bit of fun.

        bbc.com

Despite the RocketSkates' seeming impracticality, potential hazards and odd look, it's important to note that recreational devices like rollerblades and the Razor scooter were once laughed off, only to later become hugely successful in certain segments of the market

Image via mshcdn.com

“The idea of being able to wear your transportation is something that’s been brewing in me for a long time,” he says. Treadway conceived of the skates seven years ago while working on his thesis at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, one of the world’s foremost producers of transportation-design talent. “I don’t like the idea of carrying things around. Wearing something makes so much more sense.

        bbc.com

“I developed about 50 or 60 prototypes,” he says of the skates, which offer adjustable foot plates that accommodate almost any style of shoe. “And now we’ve finally got the product rolling, literally and figuratively.”

        engadget.com

The skates are expected to go into mass production, in China, by the end of September 2014

Image via Acton Global

Though it is not easy to forecast the market for wearable mobility, at last count, Acton originally sought $50,000 to produce the product, but as of this writing, the company has already raised over $455,000 — nine times its original goal. Which clearly suggests that the public is clearly interested.

[VIDEO] Only Geeks Will Appreciate How Cool this Hacked Google Glass Is

WATCH: Blaine Bublitz flying a drone with Google Glass

      Unsupported video platform

Here's how he did it

Image via imgur.com

Bublitz, from the coding company IcedDev, used a JavaScript code to turn Google Glass into a basic control system for a quadcopter drone, thus allowing him to control the device by moving his head.

        mobiletor.com

Bublitz started with a control program that would interpret his waving in front of a LeapMotion tracker, and he used a wheeled robot to test his code. He successfully made it move back and forth.

        smh.com.au

However, there were a few hiccups. As Bublitz notes on his blog: "I couldn't see where the bot was while controlling it. I needed something that could be about eye height, so I could see its movement while controlling it."

        stuff.co.nz

He used an AR drone as his bot of choice, and he also added up-and-down movements for optimal steering. He converted the program to send commands to the AR drone via Google Glass, allowing him to control the bot with a nod of his head.

The iPhone App That Makes Driving Safer By Turning A Car's Windscreen Into Sat-Nav Device

The unique app called HUDWAY allows drivers to focus on the road, keep hands on the wheel and mind on driving

Sat-navs are great for navigating unfamiliar cities and wildernesses, but it can be difficult for drivers to focus on the road when they are trying to read directions on a sat-nav device at the same time.
Now, however, an iPhone app claims to make using a GPS device safer while driving.

Here are the impressive photography and videography functions the OPPO Reno5 series 5G offers:

1. AI Highlight Video automatically adapts to the light conditions and switches between Ultra-night mode and Live HDR mode

It also helps to tremendously reduce motion blur when the camera is on the move.

As for Live HDR, it creates richer and brighter colours in videos, while also protecting the natural beauty of the video. It does this by not overly-beautifying the video's subjects, and using the right amount of light to capture the background.

Both modes are perfect for recording brighter videos, especially in situations that happen during night time, such as family dinners, karaoke sessions with friends, and watching fireworks or the sunset.

This Rat Was So Fat That She Needed 9 Rescuers To Help Remove Her From A Manhole

A chubby rat was recently found in a rather tight spot after she got herself stuck in a manhole cover

Image via Berufstierrettung Rhein Neckar/YouTube

On Sunday, 24 February, the helpless rat was spotted by two women in Bensheim, Germany, who tried to help the rat but were unable to lift the manhole cover.According to BBC, animal rescuer Michael Sehr and an entire team of volunteer firefighters received the unusual call and immediately went to her aid.

Armed with crowbars, the team of nine men started by lifting the heavy drain cover and propping it up with rubber wedges

Image via Berufstierrettung Rhein Neckar/YouTube

"The rat had quite a lot of winter fat and got stuck on its hips – nothing was going forward and nothing back," Sehr told news agency DPA.Although it took several attempts, Sehr was eventually able to push the curvy rodent's butt out of the hole and released it back into the sewer.

The rat may have escaped physically, but not much can be said of her reputation

Mula-Mula Tiada, Lepastu Ada. Ini 8 Kenyataan Putar Belit UMNO Tentang Derma RM2.6 Bilion

Pada 3 Julai 2015, kecoh satu Malaysia apabila berita mengenai RM2.6 bilion dikaitkan dengan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Image via www.freemalaysiatoday.com

The Wall Street Journal melaporkan bahawa penyiasat Malaysia mendapati wang sebanyak hampir AS$700 (RM2.6 bilion) telah dipindahkan ke akaun peribadi Najib.

Selepas isu ini kecoh, berikut adalah kenyataan-kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Najib dan seteru UMNO beliau:

Kenyataan #1: Datuk Ahmad Maslan nafi Najib terima RM2.6 bilion dalam akaun peribadi

“Tidak betul. Tidak ada pengaliran (wang ke akaun Perdana Menteri) dan sebagainya. Sebenarnya Presiden parti telah berikan taklimat kepada kami Ahli Majlis Tertinggi tentang perkara itu. Beliau tidak pernah menggunakan wang 1MDB masuk ke dalam akaunnya,” kata Ahmad Maslan.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Image via kualalumpurpost.net

Kenyataan #2: Menyatakan ia adalah konspirasi pembangkang

Selepas isu itu menjadi viral, Najib mendakwa bahawa beliau difitnah dan ia mungkin juga konspirasi dari pembangkang yang ingin menjatuhkannya.Walaupun begitu, tiada sebarang bukti yang mengatakan ini adalah strategi pembangkang untuk menjatuhkan Najib.

Image via zouldahanblog.blogspot.my

Kenyataan #3: Ingin mengeluarkan saman terhadap Wall Street Journal

Kedengaran juga selepas isu itu menjadi buah mulut orang ramai, Najib hendak mengenakan saman terhadap Wall Street Journal kerana baginya itu adalah satu fitnah yang ingin menjatuhkan imej dirinya sebagai pemimpin negara.Bagaimanapun, ternyata tiada sebarang saman dibuat oleh Najib. Adakah ini bermaksud Najib mengakui laporan yang dibuat WSJ?

Image via utusandaily.blogspot.my

Datuk Seri Najib Razak tidak akan memfailkan tuntutan saman fitnah terhadap Wall Street Journal (WSJ) di Amerika Syarikat (AS) kerana beliau bukan personaliti terkemuka di negara itu untuk memperoleh nilai ganti rugi lebih tinggi, kata peguamnya.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Kenyataan #4: Tiba-tiba mengaku ada RM2.6 bilion tapi itu bukan duit rakyat mahupun 1MDB

Selepas isu tersebut menjadi bualan ramai, ada yang mendakwa itu sebenarnya adalah duit rakyat yang 'dirompak' kerajaan selama ini dan ada juga yang mengatakan ia adalah wang dari akaun 1MDB yang turut menjadi isu hangat ketika itu.Tetapi, Najib tetap menafikan tuduhan tersebut.

Image via wargamarhaen.blogspot.my

“Hasil siasatan mendapati dana sebanyak RM2.6 bilion yang didakwa dimasukkan ke dalam akaun milik YAB Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak adalah sumbangan penderma, dan bukannya dari dana 1MDB,” kata SPRM.

        malaysiakini.com

Kenyataan #5: Mengaku terima wang tersebut tetapi ia sebenarnya duit derma

Satu rakaman video menunjukkan Tan Sri Muhyiddin membincangkan mengenai dakwaan bahawa wang jutaan ringgit dipindahkan ke akaun peribadi Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak telah menjadi perhatian.Video sepanjang 53 saat itu menunjukkan bekas timbalan perdana menteri itu berbual dengan beberapa orang tetamu di kediamannya, antaranya Menteri Besar Kedah Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir dan bekas menteri, Tan Sri Kadir Sheikh Fadzir.

        malaysiakini.com

×

Dan setelah isu itu menjadi viral, Najib akhirnya mengaku bahawa memang beliau menerima  sejumlah wang tersebut tetapi hanyalah atas sebab derma dan tiada kena-mengena dengan wang rakyat seperti yang didakwa.

Kenyataan #6: Memberitahu bahawa duit derma tersebut datang dari kerajaan Arab Saudi

Najib akhirnya mendedahkan bawah dana itu disumbang oleh kerajaan Arab Saudi tanpa niat lain selain sebagai tanda penghargaan negara tersebut kepada Malaysia yang memperjuangkan Islam.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berkata, beliau secara peribadi bertemu dengan wakil "keluarga" dari Timur Tengah yang menderma AS$700 juta (RM2.67 bilion) kepada Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Dalam perjumpaannya itu, Zahid memberitahu Malaysia  bukan satu-satunya negara yang mereka salurkan sumbangan tetapi terdapat banyak negara lain yang mesra Islam yang turut mereka beri derma.

Image via www.themalaysianinsider.com

Dalam masa yang sama, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said berkata itu adalah perkara biasa dan bukanlah isu yang besar.

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri itu berkata tiada salahnya seseorang menerima pemberian wang sebanyak itu asalkan mendapat kebenaran penerima dan tidak menafikan hak mereka yang patut menerimanya.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Kenyataan #7: Guna dana untuk kemajuan parti

Setelah itu, Najib memberitahu bahawa dana tersebut akan digunakan untuk kemajuan parti.

Tujuan utama sumbangan berkenaan diberikan kepada kerajaan yang ditunjangi UMNO ini adalah untuk memastikan Malaysia dapat meneruskan perjuangan demi agama Islam seperti yang dilakukan sebelum ini.

        sinarharian.com.my

Image via www.astroawani.com

Menurut Naib Presiden Umno, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, terdapat tiga sebab mengapa 'dana khas' ini diberi. 1. Pemberian sumbangan ini ialah Malaysia mempunyai undang-undang khusus untuk mengekang keganasan kumpulan militan yang mampu menganggu-gugat keharmonian global.2. Umno juga yang diterajui Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak memperjuangkan Islam dan mengamalkan ajaran Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah, serta mengekang ajaran yang menyeleweng daripada Islam sebenar.3. Derma berkenaan adalah untuk mengiktiraf Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara sederhana yang menjalankan hukum Islam biarpun terdiri daripada masyarakat pelbagai kaum

Kenyataan #8: Duit derma dipulangkan semula. Hmmm kenapa?

Dan semalam media melaporkan bahawa Najib memulangkan semula sebahagian besar dana Rm2.6 bilion yang diterima daripada keluarga diraja Arab Saudi.

Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, berkata sebanyak USD620 juta atau RM2.03 bilion dikembalikan semula pada Ogos 2013 kerana tidak digunakan.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Menurutnya lagi, berdasarkan keterangan saksi-saksi dan dokumen-dokumen sokongan yang dikemukakan, beliau berpuas hati bahawa tidak terzahir apa-apa kesalahan jenayah berhubung sumbangan dana RM2.08 bilion tersebut.

Image via imgur.com

Menariknya, kerajaan Arab Saudi tidak mengetahui sebarang berita mengenai derma ini. Eh?

Image via imgur.com

Kementerian kewangan dan kementerian luar negara Arab Saudi tidak tahu menahu berkaitan sumbangan daripada kerabat diraja negara itu kepada Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak.“Pegawai-pegawai kerajaan Saudi, ketika enggan mengulas secara khusus terhadap kenaytaan pendakwa, berkata kementerian luar dan kewangannya tiada maklumat berhubung pemberian sebegitu dan sumbangan diraja ke akaun peribadi pemimpin luar tidak mempunyai duluan," menurut laporan WSJ.

Profile Foto Dia Gambar Porno - Ibu Buntu Anak Perempuan 8 Tahun Ada 'Group Sex' Di WeChat

Bayangkan baru saja mencecah umur 8 tahun, seorang kanak-kanak perempuan telah mempunyai satu group sex di laman sosial WeChat. Terperanjat?

Inilah kisah yang dilaporkan oleh Syed Azmi di laman Facebook malam tadi. Post yang dimuat naik berserta satu gambar perbualan lucah seorang kanak-kanak bersama seorang lelaki yang tidak dikenali itu betul-betul menarik perhatian orang ramai. Saat membaca post tersebut, kami sendiri terperanjat dan seakan tidak percaya akan apa yang kami baca.Syed Azmi memberitahu, gambar perbualan itu telah dihantar oleh ibu kanak-kanak perempuan itu sendiri yang mencari beliau untuk meminta pertolongan kerana sangat buntu. Segalanya bermula setelah ibu tersebut membelikan tab untuk anak perempuannya itu awal bulan lalu.

Bagi mendapatkan info bagaimana ia bermula, Syed Azmi telah mengajukan beberapa soalan kepada ibu tersebut.
Ibu kanak-kanak tersebut memberitahu anak perempuanya itu juga menggunakan gambar porno sebagai profile picture dan dia jugalah yang memulakan perbualan mengenai perkara itu.

Mungkin si ibu terlalu buntu. Beliau sendiri tidak tahu bagaimana mahu respon setelah mendapat tahu mengenai perkara tersebut. Apa yang cuma dilakukannya adalah sekadar menyindir anaknya itu dengan bertanyakan "dah nak kahwin ke?"

Malaysia May Become The First Country In Asia To Legalise Weed For Medical Purposes

Malaysia may soon be the first country in Asia to legalise marijuana for medical use

Image via Post and Courier

In an interview with Bloomberg, Minister of Water, Land and Natural Resources Dr. A Xavier Jayakumar revealed that the cabinet has begun informal talks to weigh in on the medicinal value of the organic drug - which is also known as weed, ganja, or cannabis - in regards to amending relevant laws.

Citing that the legalisation of medical marijuana has already been done in certain countries, Dr. Xavier added that the drug should be allowed to be used for medicinal purposes

Dr A Xavier Jayakumar, Minister of Water, Land and Natural Resources.

"My own personal view is that if it’s got medicinal value, then it can be a controlled item that can be used by Ministry of Health for prescription purposes," he said, as quoted in the Bloomberg report.Citing a major report by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine entitled The Health Effect of Cannabis and Cannabinoids, Asian Correspondent wrote that cannabis is extremely effective in treating chronic pain as well as chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in cancer patients.

However, he admitted that garnering support for the move will be an "uphill battle", as the Ministry of Health is yet to be convinced of the medicinal value of marijuana

"It will take a bit of encouragement and convincing as far as this topic is concerned," he told Bloomberg. In addition to Malaysia's zero-tolerance policy, drug trafficking is also punishable by death in other Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and the Philippines. Moreover, existing laws make little distinction between organic drugs like marijuana and hard drugs like cocaine.

The debate on usage of medicinal marijuana arose following public outrage surrounding the death sentence handed to a 29-year-old man who was convicted of possessing, processing, and distributing medicinal cannabis oil

Image via Intan Nur Elliana Zakaria / New Straits Times

Under Malaysia's Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, individuals who are caught possessing 200 grams or more of cannabis can be charged under drug trafficking, which carries a mandatory death penalty. Muhammad Lukman, who was arrested in 2015, was found to be in possession of three litres of cannabis oil and 279g of compressed cannabis. Following 29-year-old Muhammad Lukman's conviction, Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah pledged to write an appeal to Attorney-General Tommy Thomas to seek a pardon for the father of one. Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad also called for a review of the case.

It is worth noting that Malaysia is not the only country in Asia that is looking into decriminalising medical marijuana

Image via Prachatai

Drawing inspiration from countries like Australia, Germany, UK, Canada as well as several states in the US, Bloomberg reported that a unit under Thailand's Ministry of Public Health is working on persuading its government to approve a study of the organic drug in hopes of developing its own medical pot sector.

Do you think marijuana should be legalised for medical use in Malaysia? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Apart from the Prime Minister and Nurul Izzah, some Malaysians are also calling for a review into Muhammad Lukman's case:

Muhammad Lukman used cannabis oil to treat patients who were suffering from certain ailments.

"I tend to tug at my hair a lot (nervous habit lol), which causes it to fall out. Buttttt the good thing is that I don't do it as often anymore."I heard that rose can revitalise damaged hair and promote hair growth, so I've been making different hair remedies. I add a splash of rose water to my shampoo, which saves me the need to condition my hair tbh. At the same time, I also wash my hair with a rinse made from adding rose petals to boiling water. "I tend to have an oily scalp as well from wearing my tudung for long hours, so I occasionally make a hair treatment mask too. The flower ingredients I add are crushed dried rose petals and white tea blossom leaves, both of which work great to help cleanse and revitalise my scalp, huhu." - Amira

2. "I start showering with warm water, then gradually decrease the temperature. This way, I get to cut down on my hair's dryness."

"I often shower in hot water, and it's a known fact that the heat can make your hair really dry. But I absolutely hate showering in cold water! Showering is also a way for me to relax and unwind, okay? "So, what did I do? To make it easier, I start with a warm shower, then gradually decrease the temperature. This way, I get to cut down on my hair's dryness, while still enjoying a bit of heat." - Clarissa

3. "To give my hair more volume without damaging it, I tip my head upside down and blow dry it"

"I used to have this obsession of blow drying my hair on high heat, which dried my hair faster and gave it more volume, but it also caused it to become damaged and frizzy. My hair also ended up falling out easily and looking dry most of the time. "So, to avoid it, I now blow dry my hair using the cool air setting. What about the volume, you wonder? I blow dry it upside down, and once it's done, voilà, I get nice, voluminous hair! It might take longer to dry, but it still works well!" - Diona

4. "Dengar kata, using rice water can help with strengthening hair and increasing hair shine, so I've been making my own rice water at home"

Image via Cleveland Clinic

"My hair tends to fall out a lot when showering and combing. I was like 'omg, I need to fix this before I become botak'. I tried this rice water hack that I found online, and I've been obsessed with it ever since!  "I use half a cup of uncooked rice, and basuh it just like how you would basuh your rice before cooking it. After that, I place it in a bowl and add one cup of water, then leave it to rendam for 30 minutes. Then, I'll strain it and tuang the water into a bottle. I usually use it after shampooing and conditioning my hair, and leave it on for about 20 minutes. My hair definitely looks shinier, and I've noticed that it falls out less also. "I also brew and drink white tea every now and then, 'cause I also heard that it can help to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss. Well, if you want your hair to be cantik and healthy, you gotta put in a bit of effort!" - Hanis

5. "Try using olive oil for the hair! Not the cooking one, but one specifically for the hair."

"When I was a kid, my hair was super tangled. My mom would brush the ends in olive oil, and let it sit for about 20 minutes before showering. We did this every day, and until today my hair is super soft! "At one time it got coarse again, so I tried the olive oil hack for a couple of weeks and truth be told, it's soft like a baby's butt again lol." - Nicole

6. "I started using hair clips as an alternative to keep my hair up. Since it's a really loose hairstyle, there's no pressure on my roots."

Image via Shopee

"Because we live in such hot weather, I used to tie my hair up in a super tight ponytail. This caused a lot of strain to the roots of my hair, which led to hair breakage and terrible headaches."Since I now use hair clips instead, there's not much pressure on the roots of my hair, and I've noticed how it doesn't break off as easily as it used to. Most importantly, I don't get headaches that frequently anymore!!"- Aria

7. "To help lock in moisture and keep my hair and scalp moisturised after washing, I apply some jasmine oil"

Image used for illustration purposes only.
Image via Naturally Curly

"My hair always feels so nice after washing, but it gets pretty frizzy when it dries. A friend of mine shared with me that jasmine oil helps to cut down on frizziness and lock in moisture. I gave it a shot and it helped!  "Just make sure to work small amounts of the oil into your scalp and strands directly after washing. You don't wanna use too much, else your hair ends up looking greasy." - Jenny

Whether it's the hot weather, using the wrong products, or due to sensitive scalps, there are many factors that cause our hair to dry out, get damaged, or become oily. That's why it's important to determine the root cause and find the right method to care for our hair.

PSA: There's A Pink WhatsApp App Going Around Online, And It's A New Scam Tactic

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

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has warned the public of a new malicious application that has been circling online

Image via Berita Harian

Called 'Pink WhatsApp', the application falsely advertises itself as a new application from the messaging app company, and boasts better security and privacy features, a customised interface, as well as a feature to transmit larger files, as reported by cna. In truth, downloading and opening the application on your phone may actually expose personal data you have on your phone, such as your photos, messages, contact lists, notes, and more. The Pink WhatsApp application can also potentially bombard your device with unwanted ads and allow scammers to look into your passwords.

MCMC stressed that users should only download their mobile applications from official sources such as the App Store, Google Play, and HUAWEI App Gallery

WhatsApp has also addressed this issue by stating that they may temporarily or permanently ban a user's account if they are using unlicensed third-party apps.
