Popularly known for its paddy fields and fishing village, Sekinchan has been gaining attention not just for being a holiday destination, but also a digitally-savvy destination tourist spot.

Despite having a population of just 24,000 residents, Sekinchan is ready to provide cashless convenience to urban tourists

No cash? No problem!As part of the 'Visit Sekinchan 2023' campaign, more businesses in the small town now accept cashless payments, be it card or QR payment. This is thanks to the support of residents and businesses who have started using the digital payment tools rolled out by Hong Leong Bank (HLB) under the Project Cashless Kampung with collaboration with PayNet.

HLB has been helping Sekinchan residents and businesses open bank accounts, apply for debit cards, and connect with the bank digitally without visiting a bank branch

The bank has equipped businesses with a HLB DuitNow starter kit, which includes a DuitNow QR Code to accept contactless QR payments from mobile banking apps and e-wallets, as well as the All-in-One Payment Terminal that accepts both card and QR payments.

Selangor Assemblyman for Sekinchan Ng Suee Lim said that while the scenic fishing town was already alluring for visitors, its popularity is set to rise even more, with digital payment convenience establishing it as a full-fledged holiday destination for locals and foreigners alike."The 'Visit Sekinchan 2023' campaign is an important milestone for us, not only in recognising the significance of going digital, but also the value it brings to the socio-economic growth of the town. It will also spur small businesses to explore other digital business options," said Ng.

According to HLB Group Managing Director and CEO Domenic Fuda, these efforts are part of the bank's dedication to close the digital gap

800 businesses in Sekinchan have now adopted cashless payments thanks to HLB and PayNet.

"As a community bank, part of our commitments is to close the digital gap between urban and non-urban areas, ensuring all communities benefit from digital and financial inclusivity. Beyond providing the tools, our team has been on ground helping the Sekinchan community to cope with the technological learning curve and realise the potential that comes with digital and cashless payment options."We have seen how cashless payments can help increase the value of sales for vendors, as customers are likely to spend more without worrying about looking for an ATM machine."We hope that now, with the added convenience of being cashless-enabled, it will rejuvenate domestic tourism, entice foreigners to visit, as well as provide an opportunity to expand the business via e-commerce," Fuda added.

What's cool is that even places of worship have adopted cashless payment, including the famous Pantai Redang Datuk Kong Temple

The temple is well-known for its wishing tree adorned with red ribbons containing wishes from visitors.According to the temple management, visitors are now delighted to be able to make their donations via DuitNow QR code, not only for its convenience but also the discretion it provides. For the temple, it also saves them the hassle of managing the donation box and preventing theft.

From now until 30 April, the small town will be running a fun-filled digital treasure hunt called 'SekinGo' to showcase the best of Sekinchan and support local businesses

Spanning across 28 locations, these 'SekinStops' include famous sightseeing destinations like Pantai Redang and the Wishing Tree, Pasar Awam Sekinchan, and other hidden gems.At each 'SekinStop', visitors can earn 'SekinCoins' by scanning the QR code, and win up to RM15,000 worth of prizes.

Police On The Hunt For Cyclist Who Flashed A Woman And Chased After Her

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

On Tuesday morning, 27 April, a 23-year-old woman on the way to work was sexually harassed by a man riding a bicycle in Kota Bharu

The suspect was seen cycling around Lorong Taman Limau Manis at the time of the incident.According to a viral closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, the man, wearing a green T-shirt, makes several rounds of the area until he spots the victim inside her car parked by the side of the street.He spends over a minute, circling around the street, ensuring that he's in the clear before he decides to stop his bicycle near the driver's side of the window and starts signalling the woman for something.Following his initial attempt to engage the woman in a conversation, the cyclist, once again, leaves the spot, circles around, and comes back to where the victim's car is parked.The woman, appearing to be confused by the man's behaviour, take him to be a beggar and gives him a one ringgit note. The man takes the money but starts to unzip his pants.

He continues to unzip and gestures to the victim by rubbing his penis

However, once he notices other vehicles, he quickly zips up his pants and rides away.The victim, sensing a window of opportunity to get away from the situation, opens the driver's side of the gate and starts to collect her things before the suspect — who notices her — could come back.As she closes her car's door, the man turns and starts cycling his way to her. Freaked out, the woman starts running with the suspect now chasing after her in order to corner her.Fortunately, a couple of other motorists notices the scene and slows down to check, making the suspect cautious as he slowly makes another turn and rides away from the scene.

The woman has since lodged a police report

According to Kota Bharu district police chief ACP Abdul Rahim Daud, the 23-year-old victim lodged the report at Kota Bharu district police station on Wednesday morning, 28 April.He said that they have obtained the man's image from the CCTV installed near the area.The case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code.

Last month, a man on a motorcycle groped a girl on the same street:

We Tried UNIQLO's Latest U Tape Sandals And Here's Our Honest Review

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

UNIQLO Malaysia released its new U Tape sandals this year and we decided to test them out to see if they're worth it

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. But the company did send it to us upon request.

Image via SAYS

Although I love sneakers, with Malaysia's humidity, sometimes we just need slippers or sandals to let our feet breathe as we run errands. UNIQLO has always been popular for making comfortable and practical fashion, especially for minimalistic fans. So when the company released these sandals in their Spring/Summer collection this year, I wanted to review them.

Here are a few things we liked about UNIQLO's U Tape sandals and whether or not they're worth getting:

1. They come in three easy-to-match outfit colours: olive, orange, and black

Olive.
Image via SAYS

Orange.
Image via SAYS

The colours are not too jarring, suit both males and females, and will easily match most outfits. We got to try the olive and orange pairs. Although I'd say the 'orange' isn't actually orange but more of a tan colour which is great.

2. They come with arches for your feet, which make them quite comfy

Image via SAYS

We wore them in the rain as well as for long hours, and they remained comfortable throughout the day. I like that they're really lightweight on the feet and don't leave me with backaches that some lower quality footwear tend to cause.

Image via SAYS

3. They are easy to slip in and out of

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

I don't like to waste time putting on shoes. The velcros on these are easy to work with, especially if you're someone who is always on the go. I just needed to remove one strap on each side and I could easily slip out of them. They also seemed to be good quality and long-lasting.

While the sandals are great overall, here are some things to take note of if you plan to get them

Image via SAYS

			1. They come in sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL. Be sure to check the measurements before buying. I initially thought I was a size L but ended up being a size M (for reference, I usually wear size 40). The orange pair in the photos is size L and the olive is M.2. At first, I wasn't a big fan of the overall chunkiness (because I already have big feet) but they ended up looking pretty understated in the olive tone and eventually grew on me. In fact, they ended up making my outfit feel slightly more put together even though I was just running around doing errands. They may not go with every single outfit (like dresses or skirts) but are still good for everyday wear. The sandals cost RM149 a pair. For the price, I'd say they're worth investing in, especially if you're looking for footwear that is comfortable and not tacky-looking. They are currently on sale for RM99.90 on UNIQLO's website.

Here's how we felt about UNIQLO's AIRism bedsheets and face masks:

Would You Buy This Touch ’n Go Smartwatch?

Gone are the days where watches only tell time. Watches today are capable of many things like monitoring your heart rate and even your sleeping patterns.

Image via PocketNow

Samsung, LG and Apple have released their range of smartwatches in recent years.

Joining in the smartwatch market is local smart card operator Touch 'n Go that launched its flagship smartwatch - the TimeTraveller - on 3 June, Friday

Much like ApplePay and FitPay, the watch can be used to pay for public transportations, tolls and over 2,000 merchants in the country

Some of these merchants include Watsons, Baskin Robbins and Old Town White Coffee.

You can insert a Touch 'n Go SIM card into a dedicated SIM card slot on the side of the watch while the payment sensor is placed around the bezel

Debuting in sleek black and white, the watch uses a durable silicone strap and it is water-resistant. On the surface, it is also an analogue watch.

To reload the watch, all you need to do is head to any authorised Touch 'n Go kiosks, pay your desired reload amount and tap it on the reload terminal

Rustic Restaurant In Jalan Imbi Has Fusion Flavours That'll Take You From Japan To Ukraine

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

Tucked away in a little nook off the busy streets of Jalan Imbi comes a bucolic-esque restaurant with defined and impactful flavours

Put off for two years due to the impacts of the MCO protocols inflicted on Malaysians everywhere, Bestow KL just began their long-awaited operations this past October.A vintage vibe of 1970s and 1980s Malaysia, the design features of this eatery are charming without looking messy, unique and distinctive without losing the laidback feel when you step inside for a meal.Arriving at this urban relic, it'll give you the sense that you're paying a visit to grandma's house — if grandma had a contemporary sense of style.

Image via bestowrestaurant (Instagram)

Divided into three common areas: the mezzanine (upstairs) can accommodate up to 20 pax, while the main hall and outdoor courtyard can hold up to 80 pax for the dining experience. Available for private parties and birthdays, Bestow KL's relaxing ambience is balanced out by a tireless work ethic to push the eatery to the forefront of the food and beverage industry. It certainly caught our attention!Using elements reminiscent of suburban houses from 40 to 50 years ago, key decorative accents like the iron grills, and the use of wall panels (repurposed as floorboards) for the mezzanine floor, elevate this colonial treasure without taking away the captivating antiquities that live behind these walls. Leaving the outside completely unbranded and organic to the way it was intended to be, the al fresco dining area is shaded with sizeable umbrella covers, and beautiful natural crooked trees that'll make any Instagrammer plan a photoshoot for their feed.

Image via @bestowrestaurant (Instagram)

Though the archaic designs stand strong and firm, a touch of modern flare with certain ornamental elements keep the surroundings interesting and alluring. Among these include the ceiling-high bottled herb wall that illuminates through the restaurant skylight, as well as the casual swinging rattan chairs in the main dining room and upstairs seating area too.

We recently had the pleasure of reviewing certain food items on the menu, to see if their flavours matched the magic of the atmosphere at Bestow

Beginning with appetisers, we were served a plate of Teriyaki Smoked Duck (RM28) laid on a delicate bed of mesclun salad. A char tender on the exterior, one bite into this delectable meat unleashed fragrant teriyaki-infused juices onto our tastebuds for an explosion of flavour. Balanced with sweetness from the plum sauce, we were thoroughly impressed with the precision when cooking this relatively difficult meat to master.

Image via SAYS

Moving to their lunch servings, we kicked off with the Beef Stroganoff with Brown and Jasmine Rice (RM28). Cooked in a classic smetana sauce, the meaty satisfaction was found not only in the beef, but also in the succulent Shimeji and Shitaki mushrooms that were present within the creamy creation.Had it not been for another outstanding dish that came later, this simple bowl with massive flavour would have been dish off the day. If you're planning a visit to Bestow, this is one item on the menu you cannot leave off your order.Next was Peri-Peri Chicken with Rice (RM28), a pan-seared chicken coated in their signature Peri-Peri sauce, served with a side of fries and coleslaw on a bed of rice. Though this dish did pale in comparison to some of the others, our only critique would be that the sauce was not as spicy or luscious as we anticipated. Visualising a sharp and salty heat emanating from the warm peri peri, we were left with a decent, yet mild sauce with a juicy slice of chicken.Nonetheless, this dish would still hold a candle for those who remain uncertain of their spice tolerance. This won't overwhelm you, but may be just the right amount to test your spice tolerance. A true winning factor however, was the portion served, as even the biggest eaters would be stuffed by the end of this visually alluring meal.

Image via SAYS

While the following dishes are only available during their dinner session (6pm to 9.30pm), getting an opportunity to scarf down these next few was a good way for us to vibe out the night scene at Bestow.Trying their Chicken Parm 2.0 (RM36), this grilled chicken thigh was coated in tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, with flavoured bread crumbs on top, and a side of garlic cream sauce on the side. Sitting on a bed of sweet potato and rocket, this serving of chicken was generous in size. Slicing into it, our knives moved through the piece as though it was butter on a plate. Warm and tender, the complimentary signature of the tomato sauce added hints of savoury goodness to the dish. Despite not being the main attractions, the sweet potato was light with a gist of tang, pairing well with the garlic sauce and chicken alike.A visual masterpiece, the Harimau Menangis (RM45) instantly attracted us from the appeal of the grilled beef slices served with Thai chimichurri and roasted eggplant purée. With a slight blushing pink centre, this medium well meat was decently prepared and seasoned properly. For homegrown Malaysians looking for their kick of spice, the Thai chimichurri held a satisfactory amount of heat without engulfing our taste buds. On the other hand, those who have a milder sense of taste can depend on the eggplant purée, that added more texture to the overall dish.

Image via SAYS

When it came to deciding dish of the day, the Salmon Portuguese (RM38) swept us away, nudging the Beef Stroganoff out of the top spot

A pan-seared salmon served in a lather Portuguese sambal on a bed of white rice, there was also the addition of the earlier mentioned garlic eggplant purée. Steaming hot once we sliced into this cut, the fish paired superbly with the Portuguese sambal that is reminiscent to that on the streets of Melaka. Tart and piquant, the sambal had a subtle kick that would warm the hearts (and tummies) of those in the Klang Valley unfamiliar with southern takes on this classic staple.This dish was a breath of fresh air. An added bonus? The chef at Bestow somehow managed to lacerate the salty and fishy aftertaste, far too familiar to those who have salmon on a regular basis. Checking all the boxes on the board, this dish is a no-brainer when ordering at Bestow.

Image via SAYS

Continuing with desserts, we were on the edge of our seats to see if the diversity in savoury cuisines would be just as impressive as their sweets

The first dessert to reach our table was their Lemon Meringue Tart (RM22). Bright yellow, this pie was a very, very sweet treat. Though we'd give caution to those who may not be inclined to the sweeping zest that it exudes, we were perplexed by how (despite the strong flavours), it wasn't enough to stop us from licking the plate clean.Proceeding to a slice of Oreo Nutella Cheesecake (RM19), one bite into this confection was enough to send us to chocolate heaven and back. Sweet and satisfying, anyone who needs their dose of comfort on a cloud of lusciousness should order this cut.

Image via SAYS

A dessert that honestly, comes close to none, would have to go to their Tres Leches Cake (RM18), otherwise known as a three-milk cake. Simple enough in description, this Spanish sponge cake was soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated, sweetened condensed, and cream. Humble with a burst of exalting flavours, this moist cake is one of the best desserts we've tasted from any review we've attended thus far. As someone who is predisposed against sponge cakes in general, a slice of this cake was enough to skyrocket to the top of our favourites list. We wouldn't blame anyone who came back just for a slice of this cake.

Image via SAYS

And if you're not convinced on the 'soaked in three types of milk' part, here's what you get when pinching a piece with your fork:

As for the drinks, we were delighted with a few of the fixes served.Starting with their Pineapple and Coconut Smoothie (RM15), this drink was said to be for those who're looking for a piña colada, without the rum or sugar. Nonetheless, this drink was absolutely scrummy, and a creamy treat that made for the perfect brunch drink.Trying the coffees, a hot cup of their Americano (RM10) was a tad bit diluted, diminishing the element of caffeine we needed for a quick buzz.However, their Caffe Mocha (RM15) is a coffee lovers dream. Strong and impactful, the tint of chocolate balanced out the bitterness of the cold brew to create a luxurious gem.

Image via SAYS

All in all, our dining experience at Bestow was a rollercoaster of flavours that spanned from Japan, Ukraine, Malaysia, and even Portugal

Though certain plates of food had minor elements worth an improvement, there was no dish that didn't hit the mark in presentation and visual appeal. A major plus for Bestow KL has to be in the generosity of every plate of food, that will keep you stuffed. With goals to help close the gap for sustainable practices in Malaysia, we tip our hats to the practices of Bestow that encourage, and use, metal straws, as well as growing certain herbs to be used in their meals. Walking the talk, their use of compostable paper craft boxes for takeaway items was a keen execution that didn't go unnoticed. And this is just the beginning, as they have plans to expand their sustainable practices in time with further opportunity.Growing in popularity and surging with demanding clientele, be sure to make a reservation at this busy eatery for a dining experience you'll never forget.

People Question Where Zoo Negara Donations Went After "Skinny" Lion Image Goes Viral

A picture of a "skinny" lion at Zoo Negara recently surfaced causing quite a stir on Twitter

On Thursday, 11 June, Twitter user @f4izalhassan shared an image taken by @zlkha_z along with a caption, "Pray for our skinny lion. This big cat was once the king of his land".

Image via Twitter @f4izalhassan

The photo of the lion looking seemingly malnourished circulated online, causing many to question where the previous donations to Zoo Negara went

During the Movement Control Order (MCO) in March, Zoo Negara started initiatives urging the public to donate funds to maintain operational costs and the animals' well-being.Being a non-governmental organisation (NGO) operated by the Malaysian Zoological Society, Zoo Negara relies on donations and ticket sales to cover its operating costs.As a result, large crowds of visitors immediately flocked to the national zoo to support it during its financial struggles.

Several people requested for Zoo Negara to be transparent about the donations that were made

Image via Twitter

One Twitter user found that there was no trace of Zoo Negara's annual reports on its website.

Meanwhile, another person shared how this has been an ongoing issue since 2003.

Image via Twitter

Since then, a petition has been created requesting for Zoo Negara to be investigated by SPRM for multiple reasons, including the lack of transparency in its annual reports.At the time of writing, it has received over 9,700 signatures.

Image via Change.org

Following the viral photo, Zoo Negara's deputy president Rosly @ Rahmat Ahmat Lana explained that the lion appears skinny because they switched its diet during MCO

Based on an interview by Nadia Zaman, a journalist from Bernama, Rosly shared that they were lacking meat and had switched the lion's diet to chicken, but the animal is not interested in it.According to a tweet by Nadia, Rosly explained that the 15-year-old lion, whose name is Manja Kani, may look thin but is still healthy.

A quick check on Google reveals that Asiatic lions tend to look slightly smaller than African lions. Those in captivity with an average body mass of 100kg consume 6% of their total body mass.

In May, Malaysians visited Zoo Negara after its dire need for financial support was highlighted:

The World's Longest Island Zipline Ride Now Be Found In Sabah

Sabah has now the world's longest island zipline, that connects both Pulau Gaya and Pulau Sapi

Image via staticflickr.com

Sabah now has the world’s longest zip line the bigger-scale version of the flying fox that enables users to traverse from the top to the bottom of a cable attached to a moving pulley that will give the thrill of literally sailing from the air from one island to another at the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.

        thestar.com.my

Set up by a local company, the zipline enables visitors to cross the islands within 30 to 40 seconds

Safety is taken care of and users can travel between islands in less than a minute.
Image via mysabah.com

Set up by local firm Ropeskills Rigging Sdn Bhd, the zip line enables visitors to cross the narrow straits between both islands in about 30 to 40 seconds. Ropeskills Rigging director Simon Amos said the starting point of the line was atop a hill at Pulau Gaya, about 45m above sea level, and riders gradually descend to a 8m-high platform at Pulau Sapi.

        thestar.com.my

In addition to the adrenaline rush visitors get, the beautiful scenery is also one of the unique selling points of the ride, with clear waters and islands around

Visitors get to enjoy scenic views in addition to the adrenaline rush from the zipline.
Image via blogspot.com

“The ride is an adrenaline rush. You’re seeing the sea and having the experience of flying,” he said, adding that it took his company about six months to build the zip line.

        thestar.com.my

“The views from a ride at sunset is absolutely fantastic,” said Simon.

        thestar.com.my

The company who set up the zipline gained their reputation for providing rigging during Prince William and Kate Middleton's trip to the Danum Valley in 2012

The company earned a reputation for providing rigging during Prince William and Kate Middleton’s visit to the Danum Valley, 83km southwest of Lahad Datu, in 2012, and for renowned British naturalist Sir David Attenborough’s filming of Sabah’s wildlife at Gomantong Caves, outside Sandakan, earlier this year.

Kelantanese Man Who Married An 11-Year-Old Girl Claims That He Misses Her Very Much

The 41-year-old Kelantanese man who married an 11-year-old girl recently claimed that he misses her very much, as it has been almost two weeks since he last saw her

Che Abdul Karim Che Abdul Hamid, whose controversial marriage sparked a media frenzy, told Berita Harian that he is still in regular contact with his child bride who has been moved back to her hometown in Narathiwat, Thailand with her parents."It has been almost two weeks since I saw her face, and only our wedding photo can remedy how much I miss my third wife," he was quoted as saying, adding that he spoke to her over the phone last week.The girl, known as Ayu, is the youngest of his three wives and is said to have been best friends with one of his daughters.

Che Abdul Hamid said that he last saw Ayu two weeks ago.
Image via Coconuts

The rubber tapper added that he feels 'guilty' that the government is working on raising the legal marriage age to 18, as other men may not be able to do what he did

"My marriage has affected everyone and prompted the government to increase the minimum marriage (for women). I feel really bad," he told New Straits Times Press yesterday, 22 August.

Cheh Abdul Hamid previously said that he had wanted to marry Ayu since she was seven

Image via Ramli Ibrahim/NST

He was later reported to have been fined RM1,800 by the Gua Musang Syariah Court after pleading guilty to marrying the 11-year-old in June. In spite of that, he claimed that he will apply for a marriage certificate after five years, when the girl turns 16, the legal marital age under the Syariah law. He added that until then, the girl will live with her parents, reported Free Malaysia Today.

In July, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah said that the marriage was unlawful as the court had not approved it

Image via The Malaysian Insight

"Our stand is clear and has consistently been the one expressed on 2 July. We unequivocally oppose child marriages and are taking steps to raise the minimum age of marriage to 18 years," she said, reported The Star.She added that investigations are being carried out by multiple agencies.The minimum age Muslim women in Malaysia can get married at is currently 16-years-old, which the government aims to raise to 18.

However, the Syariah court is still able to approve underage marriages "under certain circumstances". Read more here:

[PHOTOS] This Guy On Instagram Is Stealing Photos And Adding His Own Doodles

Lucas Levitan is a Brazilian illustrator living in London. He has a long-running Instagram project called Photo Invasion, where he quite artistically (and literally) invades strangers' Instagram posts.

Lucas's latest victim at the time of publishing this story.
Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

The tongue-in-cheek cartoons that Lucas adds to other people's Instagram posts completely changes the story behind them. Like, this exotic photo of Gisele Bündchen doing head stand, becomes all the more exciting with 'Manoel', one of the many characters from Photo Invasion, trying to express his feelings to the actress.

Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

Another one of the invaded post is from a Paris-based photographer Saúl Aguilar featuring Anne Sophie, a photo model. In this gorgeous shot Lucas added 'Bosgo' who is heartbroken after the beautiful Anne left him with a note that read: "Bosgo, I'm not ready to love an illustration. Adiós. Anne!"

Image via Instagram.com/lucaslevitan

Somewhat absurd but completely brilliant, the quirky illustrations, apart from changing the stories behind the posts, also showcases his vivid imagination which is filled with one-of-a-kind sense of humour. They often depict familiar scenes or people placed into humorous, awkward, and often compromising situations.

Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

This invasion happened during the World Cup

Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

Upon being asked where did the idea come from, Lucas said:

Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

"...I never took illustration so seriously. I started this project by illustrating over my own pictures as a way to change the narrative. I shared it on Instagram and people started commenting asking for me to invade their own photography, and I thought 'oh, that's a project that I would love to keep doing!'"

        londoncalling.com

He calls it Photo Invasion as a way to interact with other people's images. Lucas says the project has taken him somewhere he really likes, creating this unexpected partnership with photographers.

Image via instagram.com/lucaslevitan

"By interfering with their images it makes them think about what they've created not as a finished project, but something that sparks off other peoples' understanding. Create a new narrative and a new story line."

        londoncalling.com

"I don't take the images so seriously. Taking the image and creating a little joke, trying to find the sense of humour that I have in the image. It's one of few projects that I could say: that's me."

From beachgoers being vacuumed up by a lady to a man playing harp using cables of a bridge, Lucas is transforming the oftentimes rather benign photos into something ridiculously hilarious

Customer Claims He Paid RM356 For Wagyu But Gets Ribeye Instead – Eatery Says Otherwise

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

A customer recently ordered wagyu beef but was left dissatisfied when the supposedly premium protein tasted more like a cheaper cut instead

According to Stomp, the customer, identified as Jimmy, detailed that he visited a hot pot restaurant in Jurong, Singapore, on 30 November, and ordered a SGD110 (RM356) Australian wagyu beef hot pot set for four people.Unfortunately, upon tasting the wagyu meat, Jimmy said that it tasted more like "normal ribeye" meat.Confused, he consulted the restaurant staff and asked if what he received was truly wagyu, to which the staff confirmed that it was. But, Jimmy remained skeptical."What they had was definitely not wagyu. When we verified with the manager and chef, they insisted that this was indeed wagyu. The chef told us it was 100% legitimate wagyu, but it tasted just like normal ribeye," he told Stomp.

Coming forth to defend their product was the director of the hot pot restaurant, providing proof that the establishment does indeed order in and sell Australian wagyu beef

The director, surnamed Lim, shared images of the restaurant's menu alongside an invoice to prove that what Jimmy ordered was the real deal. "As you can see from the image of our menu on steamboat sets, we only offer two types of beef – normal beef slice and wagyu beef. I have also attached an image of our past tax invoice of our purchase of wagyu beef from our supplier to prove that our beef is indeed wagyu," Lim said.

Lim also shared more proof of the legitimacy of the premium beef with Stomp, providing an image differentiating the cheaper cuts of meat to its more premium counterpart."I have attached a picture of both our beef slices, the left being the normal beef and the right being the wagyu beef... We hope that our evidence proves the authenticity of our food," the restaurant director said.

'Tugu Itu Wajib Dirobohkan' - Ikon Pulau Langkawi Bakal Hilang Kerana Didakwa Haram

Menurut Timbalan Mufti Perak Zamri Hashim, membina atau memasang replika haiwan sebagai mercu tanda adalah haram kerana ia menyerupai bentuk haiwan hidup

Timbalan Mufti Perak Zamri Hashim.
Image via www.sinarharian.com.my

Dalam tulisannya pada sisipan “Ibrah” di akhbar Berita Harian 2 September lalu, Zamri mengetengahkan hadis riwayat Ibnu Abbas bahawa Nabi Muhammad bersabda:“Setiap pembuat patung diazab baginya di dalam neraka kerana menjadikan setiap patung itu roh sebagai alat penyeksa terhadapnya di dalam neraka jahanam.“Ijmak seluruh ulama daripada semua mazhab Ahli Sunnah wal Jamaah menetapkan haram membina atau membuat replika patung yang lengkap bagi benda bernyawa seperti manusia atau binatang.“Malah, jika sudah dibina wajib dirobohkan“Manakala membinanya atau membuatnya adalah dosa besar."

Ternyata, kenyataan Timbalan Mufti Perak itu menimbulkan kemarahan orang ramai. Masing-masing menganggap isu remeh sebegini tidak perlu langsung dibangkitkan.

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Susulan daripada itu, pihak Mufti Kedah berkata mereka akan berbincang dengan majlis jawatankuasa fatwa terlebih dahulu sebelum mengambil apa-apa tindakan

Image via funandsunholidays.com

Timbalan Mufti Kedah, Sheikh Marwazi Dziyauddin berkata selepas perbincangan rasmi, perkara itu akan dikemukakan kepada Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT) supaya tindakan susulan diambil.“Kita belum lihat perkara ini tapi kalau ada (gesaan), kita akan bincang secara rasmi. Buat masa ini mufti tak kata apa lagi dan isu ini telah berlalu lama. Pihak kita akan buat perbincangan dengan majlis jawatankuasa fatwa terutamanya, di situlah kita lihat apa yang sesuai dan kita akan lihat apa yang patut untuk dikemukakan pada PBT,” katanya kepada Malaysiakini.Sementara itu Marwazi berkata, ketika pembinaan tugu tersebut, pihak yang membuatnya tidak merujuk kepada Jabatan Agama Negeri Kedah terlebih dahulu.

        malaysiakini.com

Namun begitu, Persatuan Pelancongan Langkawi (LTA) membantah sebarang cadangan merobohkan helang berkenaan kerana replika raksasa itu telah menjadi tarikan pelancongan sejak lebih 20 tahun

Image via www.kedahnews.com

Lagipun, ia bukannya menjadi tempat penyembahan atau aktiviti yang bertentangan dengan agama.Yang dipertua LTA, Zainuddin Kadir berkata beliau telah menghantar surat kepada Zamri untuk mendapatkan penjelasan lebih lanjut berhubung perkara ini."Saya masih lagi menunggu jawapan dan bersedia untuk berdialog secara terbuka dengan beliau berhubung perkara ini, jika perlu," katanya.

Dalam pada itu, ada juga yang berpendapat bahawa pihak berkuasa negara sebenarnya ingin merobohkan helang tersebut bagi menghapuskan legasi terulung Tun Dr Mahathir ke atas Pulau Langkawi

Air Selangor's Cute Deepavali Ad About Falling In Love Will Tug At Your Heartstrings

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

After laughing and crying over Hari Raya and Hari Kebangsaan ads earlier this year, it is now time we get the much-awaited Deepavali ads!

An iconic 2005 Deepavali and Hari Raya ad by TV3, titled 'Ikan Dilaut'.
Image via renai akira (YouTube)

One of the strongest contenders for this year is this heartwarming ad from Air Selangor

Uploaded to its social media on Sunday, 24 October, Air Selangor has received rave reviews for its Deepavali animated ad. The two-minute-and-41-second long ad follows the love story of Balan, who just moved into a new neighbourhood. While he is carrying boxes out of a truck, a woman runs into him, causing him to fall to the ground.

Image via Air Selangor (Facebook)

As the woman turns around, Balan is struck with love at first sight

"Siapa tu (who is that), Balan?" asks a neighbour, before another interjects, "Wah, lenglui (beautiful) leh." 24 seconds in, the beautifully animated ad has enchanted viewers to watch on.

Image via Air Selangor (Facebook)

After the encounter, Balan draws the woman from his memory on a piece of paper before going around the neighbourhood on Deepavali to find her

Balan goes from house to house to match his drawing to the faces of his neighbours' daughters. When he almost gives up, the woman shows up at his doorstep. The two then confess how much trouble they went through to find each other. In true Malaysian fashion, the woman says she manages to find him all thanks to the help of her neighbours, who consist of multiracial people dressed in traditional clothes on Deepavali.The ad ends in the present, where it is revealed that Balan had been narrating his "Deepavali love story" to his son.

Image via Air Selangor (Facebook)

The ad is the collective work of Mediabrands Malaysia and Reprise Digital, directed by Hadi Hamid.According to Campaign Brief Asia, Bram Lee is the lead animator and the copywriters who were involved in the project are Thanendran Thanesvaran and Zaulin Kartin.

At the time of writing, the ad has received almost 1,000 likes on Facebook and 63,000 views on YouTube

Hundreds of netizens said they were stunned by the beautiful animation and the feel-good story."This has to be one of the firsts or the rarest times of a wholesome representation of Indian languages in a Malaysian Deepavali ad. Kudos, Air Selangor!" lauded a Facebook user."It's soo good to see soo many [languages] besides Tamil in this. Well done, Air Selangor," commented a netizen."This advertisement is great. Congratulations to the Air Selangor team. You make us proud to be Malaysian citizens who live together in multiracial and multicultural (society)," another person added.

Berbekalkan Hanya RM15, Kanak-Kanak Ini Teringin Nak Ke Aquaria Dan Makan Garrett Popcorn

Bilakah kali terakhir kamu bersyukur dengan apa yang kamu miliki?

Image via rumuskehidupan.wordpress.com

Pernahkah kamu merungut tak sanggup berada di KLCC kerana tempat itu kerap dibanjiri warga asing?

Image via newmalaysianpost.com

"Warga asing terlalu ramai yang berkunjung ke ibu kota sehingga masyarakat tempatan pula khuatir untuk bersiar-siar. Kita pula yang takut untuk keluar kerana mereka (warga asing) lebih ramai daripada kita," kata seorang pengunjung tempatan.

        sinarharian.com.my

Dan pernahkah kamu berada dalam dilema, tak tahu nak makan apa di KLCC kerana di situ terlalu banyak pilihan makanan?

Image via kreuzfahrtinsel.de

Terdapat dua food court di KLCC, iaitu di Rasa Food Arena di Tingkat 4, dan Signatures Food Court di Tingkat 2. Memang agak memeningkan jika harus membuat pilihan.

Sedang kamu berada di dalam dilema seperti itu, lain pula kisah adik kecil berusia 12 tahun. Nak jejakkan kaki ke KLCC pun tak mampu.

Cikgu Najihah Rahman, guru di SK Kechau 1, mengendalikan lawatan pelajar-pelajar darjah enam ke Aquaria KLCC

Lawatan tersebut harus dibiayai oleh ibu bapa pelajar. Ini termasuk bayaran tiket bas dan tiket masuk ke Aquaria. Tiket masuk ke Aquaria berharga RM30 bagi kanak-kanak berusia 12 tahun, jadi berkemungkinan besar jumlah yang perlu dibayar untuk lawatan tersebut mungkin mencecah RM50.

Image via nature.piktureplanet.com

Seorang murid dalam kelas Cikgu Najihah ingin menyertai lawatan itu kerana teringin nak ke KLCC, tapi dia tak mampu hendak membayar tiket masuk ke Aquaria

Jadi dia minta izin kepada Cikgu Najihah untuk menyertai rombongan itu dengan cuma membayar RM15 untuk tambang bas, tetapi dia tak akan masuk ke Aquaria sebaliknya akan menunggu sehingga rakan-rakannya habis lawatan ke tempat tersebut. Nasib baiklah, ada yang sudi membayar tiket masuk pelajar itu ke Aquaria.

Image via wikimedia.org

Selain dari lawatan ke Aquaria, Cikgu Najihah turut memberitahu jika nak rasa popcorn Garrett yang terkenal sedap di KLCC, bawalah duit tambahan sebanyak RM20

Image via kokcheehou.blogspot.com

Cikgu Najihah turut memberikan sample bertih jagung itu kepada anak-anak muridnya. Semua pelajar teruja dan memuji kesedapan popcorn itu.

Kali ini pelajar yang sama bertanyakan kepada rakan-rakan sekelasnya jika ada yang mahu berkongsi membeli popcorn Garrett itu dengannya

"Siapa sini nak beli Garrett kongsi dengan saya? Saya nak lagi tapi tak mampu beli, kalau ada yang nak kongsi."Cikgu Najihah memanggil kanak-kanak itu berjumpa dengannya selepas habis kelas dan bertanya berapa duit belanja dibawanya ke KLCC."RM15. Saya tahu ayah tak ada duit. Ini duit belanja 2 minggu saya simpan."

Image via midvalley.com.my

Atas dasar kasih sayang dan simpati, Cikgu Najihah kemudian memberikan wang kepada kanak-kanak itu supaya dia dapat membeli popcorn Garrett

"Ini teacher bagi duit awak beli Garrett tu. You are a very good student, rajin. daripada dulu awal tahun awak dapat C, sekarang dah dapat A. Ini hadiah untuk awak".

Peristiwa ini benar-benar menyentuh perasaan guru itu, sehingga dia menangis dan muhasabah diri

"Alhamdulillah Allah Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang. Coretan saya tentang salah seorang student saya semalam mendapat perhatian ramai insan yang mulia. Tujuan saya berkongsi untuk sama sama kita muhasabah diri kerana ada hamba Allah yang meskipun dalam kesempitan, dapat mensyukuri nikmat Allah. Allahu terima kasih rakyat Malaysia. Doa dan sumbangan amat dihargai. Walaupun ada yang tidak mengenali saya mahupun student saya, ramai yang memberi duit raya untuk anak syurga itu.Seronok tak terkata dia dapat beli Garrett harini. Terima kasih sekali lagi, bagi pihak insan kerdil berjiwa besar itu.Bawa RM150 ke KLCC pun rasa tak cukup, inikan pula cuma RM15."

Benar kata orang, selagi kita tak selami kesusahan orang lain, selagi itulah kita sukar untuk bersyukur. Jadi, syukurilah nikmat yang kita miliki.

Remembering The 3 Malaysians Who Lost Their Lives In The 9/11 Tragedy

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

It's been 20 over years but the tragedy of 9/11 lingers on

Every year on 11 September, countries worldwide join the US in remembering the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York that killed almost 3,000 people in 2001.Among the 2,977 names, the memorials also pay tribute to the three Malaysians who were killed in the attacks.The victims were Vijayashanker Paramsothy from Selangor, Khoo Sei Lai from Sabah, and Ang Siew Nya from Penang.

Image via ABC News (YouTube)

Vijayashanker Paramsothy was a 23-year-old financial analyst at Aon Insurance, located on the 103rd floor of the South Tower

According to an archived story by AsiaOne, Vijayashanker, fondly known as Vijay, could have escaped via the emergency staircase with his colleagues but stayed behind to help his injured manager on the way down.Vijay's father said he was a great companion to him, and they would often play jokes on each other and drink together, and although he lived half a world away from home, he called his parents every day and visited them whenever he could.After his death, Vijay's parents commemorated him by publishing a biography, The Perfect Son, depicting how he had grown into a caring and loving man.

Khoo was a 38-year-old mutual fund manager at Fred Alger Management working on the 93rd floor of the North Tower

According to an archived article by Malay Mail, she was often sought out by media for her views and was described as someone who always made time for family, friends, and co-workers despite her busy schedule.In a 2001 tribute on Legacy.com, her younger brother, Khoo Yeng Leng, said she taught him survival skills and showed him the best places to eat at when he first moved to New York for college."She always remembered what she ordered and what was good the last time we ate someplace," he said, adding that she was also always first to "fight for the bill".The Star reported that at the time of her death, she was engaged to be married.

Meanwhile, working two floors above was 37-year-old Ang, a mother-of-two and a technical analyst at Marsh USA

According to a profile published on Legacy.com in 2001, Ang was a hardworking mother of two daughters, who cherished time with her family.She would often leave for work early in the morning but would call home to make sure her girls were properly equipped to handle a day of school and extracurricular activities.After the tragedy, her daughters, then four and eight years old, hung a picture of her in their bedroom to say goodnight to every night."Sometimes I have to let them know that Mommy is in heaven and other than that I just don't know what to say," Ang's husband, Lee Kui Liong, said then.

In 2020, the US Embassy shared that their names are etched on the National September 11 Memorial in New York City:

On 4 August 1975, five terrorists held 53 Malaysians hostage in the then tallest building in Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur:

Negeri Sembilan Mufti Wants PUBG To Be Banned Because It Makes Players "Enjoy War"

Following the terror attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, the Negeri Sembilan mufti is calling for a ban on popular online shooting game 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' (PUBG)

Negeri Sembilan mufti Datuk Mohd Yusof Ahmad.
Image via New Straits Times

Negeri Sembilan mufti Datuk Mohd Yusof Ahmad called for the government to urgently consider a ban on the game as it had a negative impact on children and youth, reported New Straits Times."The goal [of PUBG] is to shape the minds of the younger generation to enjoy war, to fight, and indulge in vicious activities," he reportedly said."It is not impossible that firearms may be easily accessed one day. Think of the consequences if PUBG becomes part of our youths' lives."

In response, the Kelantan government said e-sports had "positive contributions" to both the economy and technology

Human Development, Higher Education, Science, and Technology executive councillor Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said video games have no influence on a person's thinking."We cannot link it (the killings) with e-sports. That incident was an act of terror. If not a rifle, the man could have used a knife or sword. E-sport does not influence but develops a person's thinking towards positivity," he said, according to Free Malaysia Today.

Meanwhile, Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said extremist acts would still happen even if such games were banned

"Trust me, whether or not there are such online games, people with extremist beliefs will still carry out violent acts," he said, in response to a question is the government would ban online games with violent elements."This (the incident) is bigger than that. We have to pay our respects to those who have lost their lives but don't be too quick to blame online games," he said, reported New Straits Times."Does it mean that we have to ban all games with shooting elements? I think the shooting in Christchurch is bigger than that. Even before PUBG, these kinds of acts happened."


Baby In Singapore Passed Away After Maid Found Him Lying Face Down In Bed

Earlier this week, Singapore's Coroner's Court declared an open verdict in the death of a two-month-old baby who was found face down and not breathing on his mattress

The baby boy from Sengkang was two months and three weeks old when he was found unresponsive by the family's maid and was later pronounced dead in a hospital on 17 May 2019.According to CNA, in findings made available on Tuesday, 13 October, State Coroner Kamala Ponnampalam said a thorough investigation, which included an autopsy examination, failed to establish the cause of the baby's death.The coroner raised unsafe sleeping practices which possibly led to the baby's death, but did not rule out suffocation. An open verdict is where it is affirmed that a death was suspicious but does not specify the cause.

The maid had fed the baby and laid him in a prone position (on his stomach), with his head turned sideways on a mattress

She left the bedroom for about an hour to do the dishes, helped the family's other two daughters with their shower, and did some laundry.When she finally wondered why the baby did not cry the whole time she was away, the maid found the infant lying face down on his mattress and picked him up to see that he was pale and not breathing.She immediately called the parents to come home and the father rushed the baby to the hospital.However, his son continued to be unresponsive and pulseless despite emergency medical assistance and was pronounced dead that night.

Image via Parenting.com

The autopsy revealed no obvious, significant abnormalities

The forensic pathologist said a prone sleeping position is not likely a cause of death given that there was no evidence of co-sleeping or evidence indicating that the baby's nose or mouth was covered.He said if the baby died by suffocation with his face down and external airways obstructed, there would be autopsy findings such as injuries or abrasions around the nose and mouth, but these were absent from the case.

The State Coroner said there were no grounds to suspect foul play based on the evidence found, but suffocation could still not be excluded with certainty

"Following a thorough investigation, including autopsy examination with ancillary testing, a review of the circumstances of the death, and the baby's clinical history, his cause of death remains unascertained. I am therefore constrained to record an open verdict," said Kamala.The coroner also reminded parents and caregivers to practise safe sleep."A baby who is placed to sleep on his tummy may become trapped in a face down position," she said, adding that paediatricians, and others involved in infantcare, regularly emphasise the importance of a baby sleeping on its back.


These Nike Air Jordan 1s With 'Factory Defects' Are Being Resold For More Than RM600,000

A pair of "Reverse Shattered Backboard" Air Jordan 1s were received by a customer in Italy with a rather interesting factory defect: an upside-down Nike 'Swoosh' logo

Image via High Snobiety

Andrea Canziani, a customer who purchased a pair of orange Air Jordan 1s directly from Nike at the retail price of USD160 (approximately RM662) noticed a big factory flaw on his sneakers when he received them in the mail, as reported by Hypebeast.The iconic Nike 'Swoosh' logo was turned upside-down on only one side of the pair.

Canziani realised he hit the jackpot once he got the one-of-a-kind pair from Nike

Image via MS Mag

In rare cases like this one, a unique factory flaw could dramatically increase the price and demand of a pair of sneakers.The US 7 pair is now set to be listed on sale by Canziani at Dropout Milan, an Italian sneaker and streetwear consignment store for 900 times the original retail price, going for USD146,000 (approximately RM604,301).Although the pair cannot be purchased just yet, interested consignees can contact the consignment store on Instagram for further details.

Earlier this year, a pair of "Gold Toe" Air Jordan 1s also had the same factory defect and was also listed with a hefty price

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by CoolKicksLA (@coolkicksla) on Feb 28, 2018 at 4:10pm PST

It is rumoured that the pair was sold for USD96,000 (approximately RM397,348).

Who do you think would purchase this rare pair? Let us know in the comment section below.


How Hard Can Indoor Cycling Be? FlyCycle Is About To Prove The SAYS Team Wrong...

Before, we used to think indoor cycling means sitting on a stationary bike and pedalling non-stop with only your sweaty reflection and a scary trainer for company. In short, not a lot of fun. At all.

Image via Bustle

But seriously, how hard can it be to pedal for 45 minutes right? *nervous laughter*

Then we went for an actual spinning class at FlyCycle and boy, were we wrong!

Image via SAYS

Rather than just 45 minutes of endless cycling, FlyCycle incorporates elements of cardio, dancing, spinning, and dynamic movements set to a heart-pumping, energetic soundtrack. Plus, classes are held in a dark LED-lit room, so you'll feel like you're in a spinning rave party rather than a, well, class. It definitely helps that our instructor is a treat for the eyes too... ;)

Say hello to our super energetic instructor Alando!

We definitely felt like our not-so-fit bodies were pushed way beyond our limits, but we had way more fun that we thought we would! Watch our fun "torture" session HERE:
