Seorang 'Uncle Roti' popular di Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang baru-baru ini telah dikurniakan dengan sebuah mural gergasi yang menampilkan beliau

Pada 21 Julai 2019 lalu, seorang artis grafiti tempatan, Acit Raman Abdullah menerusi Facebook telah bercerita mengenai perbualannya bersama 'uncle roti' ini, Muniandi yang menyentuh hati.Acit Raman menulis, "Muniandi ni memang legend kat Balik Pulau. Sapa-sapa pon mesti kenai dia. Tak kira la apa jenis kaum hang pon."Perkongsiannya itu telah tular sehingga mendapat lebih 2,100 shares ketika artikel ini ditulis.

Uncle Muniandi telah menjual roti kaya kegemaran orang ramai sejak lebih 30 tahun lalu, bahkan telah membesarkan seorang doktor, peguam dan jurutera kimia tidak lama lagi!

"Apa yang aku kagum pasai uncle ni pasal pengorbanan dia pada keluarga dia. Anak-anak dia berjaya jadi doktor, peguam dan sorang lagi tengah belajaq lagi kalau tak salah aku dia amik chemical engineering ka apa. Gila weh salut."Boleh diangkat salah satu icon merdeka atau hari malaysia lah tahun ni," tulis Acit lagi.

Mural gergasi ini dilukis oleh seorang artis tempatan, Andhar A. Samah sempena 'Festival Kesenian Balik Pulau 2019'

Couples Aren't Allowed To Sit Together In This Taman In Kedah

A signboard that reads "Dilarang pasangan untuk duduk berdua-duaan atau cuba membuat maksiat di kawasan ini" has been spotted in Taman Jubli in Sungai Petani, Kedah

Image via Facebook/ Komuniti Kafa Kuala Muda

Chinese newspaper Oriental Daily first reported the sighting on Tuesday, 30 August after the photos of the signboard became viral on social media sites, with many ridiculing the directive."Dilarang pasangan untuk duduk berdua-duaan atau cuba membuat maksiat di kawasan ini", translates into 'couples are forbidden from sitting together or trying to engage in any immoral activities'.The signboard also has the official logo of Majlis Perbandaran Sungai Petani Kedah Darul Aman (MPSPK).

When asked about the signboard, MPSPK councillor Ko Hung Weng, said that he has no prior knowledge of the signboard till he saw the social media posts on it, as reported by The Star

"As far as I know, there's only one such signboard in Taman Jubli."The setting up of this signboard was never brought up during the council meetings. It can cause a misunderstanding. The message on the signboard is also not clear if it applies to married couples as well," said Ko, as quoted by The Star Online on 31 August.

Shedding light on the matter, Ko clarified that the signboard only applies to Muslims

According to the same report by The Star, Ko had also mentioned that he would seek further information on the signboard from the city council's Landscape Department. Stressing that this is not the way to curb immoral activities, Ko opined that religious education is a better way to discourage immoral behaviour.

With the image of the signboard all over the social media, it's safe to say that netizens are not happy with the directive

Pendosa Bola Sepak: 6 Faktor Utama Harimau Malaysia Masih Tak Maju Dan Terkebelakang

Artikel ini merupakan tulisan dan sumbangan daripada Data Bola dan diterbit semula oleh SAYS atas keizinan.

Image via CH Loh / The Star Archives

PENDOSA BOLA SEPAK MALAYSIA: MASYARAKATKenapa saya cakap masyarakat merupakan pendosa terbesar? Cuba kita lihat di sekeliling kita. Apa yang kita lakukan selain daripada menyalahkan FAM(B)?Kalau anda sedang melakukan sesuatu di kawasan tempat anda seperti melatih kanak-kanak kecil dan sebagainya, tahniah saya ucapkan. Sekurang-kurangnya, anda sedar akan tanggungjawab anda. Kalau anda hanya menyalak dan menunggu FAM(B) turun padang, anda dan FAM(B) tiada bezanya. Mungkin FAM(B) pun sedang menunggu AFC dan FIFA membantu mereka. Ajar kepada orang Malaysia macam mana mahu melakukan grassroots development. Sedih. Setiap lapisan sedang menunggu untuk dibantu. Dan anda terus menunggu dan menunggu dan menunggu dan menunggu.

Image via Wan Gerrard

Pertama, sebenarnya kita yang patut mulakan sesuatu. Ambil coaching license. Basic sahaja sudah mencukupi. Balik tempat anda, develop anak-anak kecil seawal 6 tahun. Bekerjasama dengan pihak sekolah dan ketua masyarakat. Ambil la upah sikit petang-petang ajar anak-anak setempat. Kalau sebab passion, benda kecil bukan halangan. Saya berani jamin, kalau semua daerah di Malaysia buat begini, kita akan dapat lihat perubahan dalam bola sepak Malaysia. Buat kejohanan berskala kecil. Dedahkan pemain dengan game situation. Thomas Muller sewaktu dia masuk skuad utama Bayern, dia dah ada banyak pengalaman bermain dengan skuad remaja Bayern. Itu membantu dia untuk tidak gugup sewaktu bermain 1st team Bayern ketika usia muda. Ni main tournament sekali setahun wakil sekolah, lepas tu tersingkir group stage. Macam mana nak biasa dengan game situation? Hawau!

Image via beritaharian.sg

Kedua, buat tournament simple sahaja. "Tournament makan kos banyak, bang. Takde duit nak buat. Tiada sponsor". Bangang! Guna otak di tahap maksimum. Mari sini saya nak ajar. Kita ni suka menyusahkan benda yang senang. Buat tournament yang tak perlu offside, hanya satu pengadil yang tahu basic rules dalam bola sepak. 7 vs 7 dah cukup. Lagi banyak pemain dapat bola, lagi bagus. Ni nak buat tournament yang ada pengadil 4 orang pakai baju hitam ada lambang FIFA dalam poket ada kad merah kuning, tengah hari makan nasi ayam, jemput orang kenamaan karpet merah. Kos banyak habis kat benda yang tak perlu. Rugi! Kau jemput je mak bapak join. Mak bapak mana tak suka anak main? Mesti mereka akan volunteer nak jadi ref, nak masak bihun, buat air dan sebagainya. Silap hari bulan dapat sponsor RM5K. Tak bulat biji mata kau? Kalau tiada sumbangan wang Ringgit, sumbangan tenaga sudah dikira bagus. Kalau dua-dua tak ada, ada orang sumbang doa pun dah cantik. Kalau semua tak ada, kau suruh mak bapak situ tengok bola kat Astro jela. Buang masa. Sampah! Kalau bola sepak Malaysia tak maju dan mereka menyalak lebih, kau tunjuk post aku ni. Biar mereka sentap dan sedar. Tak guna jaga hati kalau output takde.

Image via Asyraf Nordin/Facebook

Ketiga, tahu tak development stage dalam bola sepak? Mari saya kongsikan secebis ilmu saya yang memang secubit ini. Dari usia 6-13 tahun, pemain perlu diajar teknik. Bukan taktik! Ajar mereka cara menanduk bola dengan betul, cara pass, cara dribble, cara shooting dan macam-macam teknik lain. Sebab mereka masih muda dan senang dibentuk. Jangan buang masa nak ajar pemain umur 25 tahun teknik tendang bola. Buang masa. Mereka dah keras. Under pressure, mereka akan tendang ke mana telur mereka mengadap.Berbalik kepada cerita tadi, kanak-kanak dalam lingkungan 6-13 tahun, kita hanya mahu mereka develop teknik. Jangan tekankan mereka dengan result. Asyik nak menang. Asyik nak menang. Itu menyebabkan mereka tertekan dan tak berani mencuba. Biarkan mereka bermain. Cuma pastikan teknik mereka betul. Kalau winger suka dribble, jangan marah kalau dia attempt dribble dan tak berjaya. Ajar dia. Tunjuk video Ronaldinho, Ryan Giggs, Ronaldo Gemuk. Nanti mereka akan cuba buat dan tiru. Ni umur 8 tahun sibuk nak suruh menang Piala Menteri Macam-macam Nama. Bila dah besar, Piala Dunia pun tak pergi, main bola pun tak pandai.Taktik diajar bila mereka dah besar. Umur 14 dah boleh ajar taktik. Macam mana nak main half space, macam mana nak tarik defense keluar dari flat four dan sebagainya. Ni kita sibuk dengan Wenger's Ball, Cotenaccio, dan Diego's Wall. Kita semua ni sebenarnya taksub dengan taktik. Cuba kita bayangkan, kita sibuk ajar budak-budak taktik, tapi teknik kelaut. Baru nak start counter attack, tahan bola melantun, lawan dapat reorganize defensive structure. Counter attack kejadahnya macam tu?

Image via Dunia Sukan

Keempat, kita sangat suka shortcut. Tahu virus shortcut? Macam itulah kita. Nak anak kita dapat main bola terus. Sibuk hubungi orang kenamaan dan minta anak kita direkomen masuk dalam team. Kalau anak kita tu ada bakat, boleh la dibagi peluang. Ni datang training pakai seluar Hawaii, warm up pun nak tak nak, nak letak di bangku simpanan pun belum tentu dapat. Tak ada attitude. Hanya mengharapkan jalan pintas. Mungkin mereka dan ibu bapa mereka tidak baca cerita Ronaldo dan Messi. Belum lagi dikira ibu bapa yang mahu anak mereka berada dalam pasukan utama sahaja. Kalau semua orang nak jadi pemain utama, siapa nak teman coach kat bench? Fikir panjang sikit. Semua pemain ada peranan masing-masing. Masa akan menentukan. Tanya Solskjaer dan Chicarito apa peranan mereka di Manchester United.

Image via 101 Great Goals

Terakhir, jangan sibuk nak salahkan orang lain. Cuba letak kita sebagai yang bersalah. Cuba anda semua jadi jurulatih Malaysia, anda rasa Malaysia akan jadi lagi baik ke?TIDAK!

Image via Wanista

Pool pemain kita kecil. Safiq Rahim retired pun satu negara riuh cari pengganti. Letak la Guardiola jadi coach, negara kita paling kuat pun mampu menang Sukan SEA je. Kita boleh ke Piala Dunia. Dengan tiket tuan rumah. Tu pun tuan rumah bersama negara mana entah. Hampeh! Malaysia bukan ada masalah jurulatih. Masalahnya ialah kita tiada option. Kalau tukar jurulatih pun, seorang dua sahaja pemain yang bertukar. Yang lain sama je. Terima la kenyataan. Pool pemain kita paling teramat sangat kecil sekali. Tengok pasukan utama Sepanyol dan Jerman. Selepas first eleven, mereka mampu buat satu lagi skuad yang lebih kurang sahaja hebatnya menggunakan pemain lain. Mereka ada depth. Negara kita? Yang first eleven lawan San Marino entah lepas atau tidak. Yang second team tak payah nak cerita la.

Image via Reuters

Lagi satu, suka salahkan pengadil. Yang ni bagi saya benda paling bodoh pernah dibuat seorang peminat bola. Normal kalau tak bersetuju dengan keputusan pengadil tapi jangan la kau kecam dia sampai anak bini dia pun terlibat. Nak keluar rumah pun takut. Kontroversi ni la yang menyebabkan bola sepak menarik. Kalau perfect, tak seronok. Kawan tu silap bagi gol sebiji yang nampak tak nampak. Angle dia dalam match lain. Angle kita sebagai penonton di stadium dan tv pun lain. Kau henjut dia macam dia songlap duit negara. Ingat senang ke nak jadi referee? Biasa negeri yang banyak complaint ni, negeri dia tak ada referee yang mantap pun. Sebab tu tahu nak argue je. Tak percaya? Tengok la negeri masing-masing. Tahu ke referee pun ada ranking? Ada 90 minit satu match untuk tentukan nasib kita, keputusan yang 30 saat tu jugak kau nak bising. Tak tau apa lagi kata nista yang patut aku ungkapkan.

Image via Sinar Harian

Setakat itu sahaja saya mampu kongsi. Ingat! Masyarakat kita sedang sakit. Jadilah antara orang yang mengubahnya bukan sebahagian darinya. Jadilah minyak wangi disebalik timbunan sampah.Sumber: Data Bola

Anda Tak Perlu Buka Pintu Kereta Lagi Di Plaza Tol Dengan Adanya 'Stick' Touch 'N Go Ini

Penggunaan kad Touch 'N Go bukanlah sesuatu yang baru dalam kalangan pengguna jalan raya terutama mereka yang menggunakan lebuhraya sebagai jalan utama harian mereka

Namun, tidak dapat dinafikan sesetengah daripada kita mengalami kesukaran sewaktu menggunakannya. Contohnya disebabkan tangan anda tidak sampai untuk menyentuh alat pengesan kad Touch 'N Go, anda terpaksa membuka pintu kereta walaupun cermin pintu telah dibuka.

Tambah-tambah lagi bila betapa dekatnya kad tersebut dengan card reader. Bak kata orang putih the struggle is real!

Tetapi seperti biasa, rakyat Malaysia memang kreatif. Sesetengah daripada pengguna Touch 'N Go mendapat idea untuk memudahkan perjalanan mereka dengan menggunakan sudip masakan.

Baru Buka 7 Hari, Perpustakaan Sabah Dah Macam 'Tongkang Pecah' Dek Diconteng Kanak-Kanak

Lumrah semula jadi kanak-kanak untuk bermain dan sentiasa bergerak bebas

Image via SAYS

Dengan bermain, imaginasi kanak-kanak akan melangkau ke satu alam fantasi yang tiada batasan. Ini akan merangsang otak dan menjadikan pemikiran mereka lebih luas.Sekali gus, minda kanak-kanak akan berkembang pesat dan lebih banyak sel dapat dihubungkan dengan baik.

Namun begitu, ibu bapa haruslah peka dan tidak boleh membiarkan anak bermain sehingga melampaui batasan

Kanak-kanak akan jadi tidak terkawal tanpa pengawasan yang rapi daripada ibu bapa mereka. Ibu bapa memainkan peranan yang sangat penting dalam memastikan anak-anak tidak terlalu bebas sehingga memusnahkan harta benda awam dan memudaratkan orang sekeliling.

Jika tidak dikawal, pasti akan timbul masalah.
Ini berlaku pada Perpustakaan Negeri Sabah di Kota Kinabalu yang baru dibuka selama 7 hari apabila bahagian kanak-kanak bangunan itu telah teruk diconteng.

Image via Arlene Rowena Dulait / Facebook

Seorang warga prihatin, Arlene Rowena Dulait menerusi Facebook berkongsikan tentang kejadian ini yang dianggap keterlaluan dan tidak boleh diterima akal.Menurutnya, bahagian kanak-kanak di Perpustakaan Negeri Sabah sudah tidak nampak seperti baru kerana telah teruk diconteng oleh kanak-kanak di situ. Beliau mengutarakan kekesalan ini dan meletakkan kesalahan di bahu ibu bapa yang tidak bertanggungjawab."Jika anda membiarkan anak-anak anda tidak menghormati harta awam macam ini, saya kesal dengan mentaliti anda sebagai ibu bapa," tulis Arlene.

Image via Arlene Rowena Dulait / Facebook

Baginya, kanak-kanak tidak boleh dipersalah kerana sifat mereka yang hanya 'menjadi kanak-kanak'

Perkongsian Arlene telah mendapat lebih 2,000 shares dan lebih 1,000 komen ketika artikel ini ditulis. Rata-rata netizen terkejut dengan penemuan ini dan tidak menyangka bangunan awam yang sebegini baru telah dicemari dengan contengan tangan kanak-kanak.Ramai juga yang menyelar tindakan ibu bapa yang tidak prihatin terhadap memastikan anak-anak mereka tidak mencemarkan harta benda awam.Baca tulisan penuh Arlene di bawah:

Image via Arlene Rowena Dulait / Facebook

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN!Are these particular corners memang untuk conteng2 ka? Are they allowed to do so? Ada signage that give permission to express their creativity this way? Are they washable? If so, then I have nothing else to say.But if these sore eyes are caused by Children, just being children... WTF PARENTS! The place is only opened for 7 days! SEVEN! WOW!

Image via Arlene Rowena Dulait / Facebook

Kamu bawa anak2 kamu sana betul2 mau baca buku kah ni atau mau minta puji saja untuk take photo kasi masuk pesbuk..kasi masuk ig. Kunun duluan la kamu tu masuk bangunan baru... kalau betul tu niat mau anak2 rajin membaca and become member so boleh pinjam buku selalu tidak apa juga!But if you let your kids disrespect public property macam ni, I pity your mentality as parents.Bisuk lusa tu bangunan jadi buruk, trus cakap eee kesian tidak kena menten. Kesian kerajaan tiada budget kasi cantik bangunan..eee kesian buruk ni bangunan kerajaan. YAH BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU!THIS IS WHY WE CANNOT HAVE NICE THINGS!SMH.

Image via Arlene Rowena Dulait / Facebook

Selepas perkongsian ini tular, Perpustakaan Negeri Sabah mengambil tindakan untuk tutup bahagian kanak-kanak tersebut buat sementara waktu

Ada info that the Children Section have been closed for a while for cleaning purposes (photo somewhere in the comments thread). Yah.. mau kena cat balik. Nanti cantik la tu balik sudah yayyy. JANGAN KASI KUTUR2 LAGI AH!

Menurut Arlene lagi, dia difahamkan bahawa undang-undang etika di dalam perpustakaan tersebut masih belum dikuatkuasa sempena pembukaannya

I have learnt that sempena pembukaan State Library bulan ini, undang2 etika dalam library especially bahagian children level memang longgar..but ONLY FOR THIS MONTH. Bulan 5 sa harap dorang sedia tukang rotan utk siapa yang buat bising/conteng2...tapi bukan rotan tu budak ah. Rutan parents da. RESPECT OUR LIBRARY!

People Are Horrified By Video Of A Python Squeezing A Community Cat To Death In Singapore

A python was recently caught on video coiling around a cat and killing it at an apartment block in Singapore

The incident took place at 10.30pm on 16 November at Block 726 Jurong West Avenue 5.Graphic pictures below. Viewer discretion is advised.

Onlookers found the cat trying to break free from the snake, but it eventually stopped moving after writhing for two to three minutes

Stomp reported that the person taking the video wanted to save the cat but was too late.The python was then seen slithering into a nearby drain and remained there until about 11.26pm.

One of the bystanders then contacted Singapore's Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES), which arrived to capture the snake

"We responded but we understand that the snake had moved into a covered drain. The cat was already dead. The presence of the crowd probably caused the snake to let go of the cat and move away as they are generally shy animals," ACRES told Stomp.

Videos of the incident have since gone viral, as netizens and residents took to social media to express their grief

Couple Leave 9-Year-Old Daughter Behind By Accident When Switching Drivers On The Roadside

A parent's worst nightmare became a reality for a couple when their daughter went missing from their car as they were travelling back home

The incident reportedly happened at about 2.30am yesterday, 13 March when the husband and wife pulled over at the side of the road to switch drivers.The family were said to be on their way from Pokok Sena, Kedah to their home in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan.Tanah Merah district police chief deputy superintendent Zainuddin Md Yusuf said, before the car stopped on the roadside, the child was sleeping in the back passenger seat, reported Berita Harian.They were near Bukit Bunga, Kelantan when they stopped the car.It turns out that when the couple were switching seats, the girl stepped out of the vehicle without them realising before they continued with their journey home.

The child was later found by a member of the public who then made a report at the Bukit Bunga police station at around 3am

Kamarulzaman Mohd Sakeri, 32, said he heard loud cries in front of his house before finding the nine-year-old crying.He approached her to help but the girl ran away for about a kilometre from where he spotted her."Maybe because she saw that I'm a man, she got scared, so I called some friends and the police to calm her down," he was quoted as saying."The child then told us that her parents left her behind when their car stopped. After all, the area was dark and the incident happened early in the morning."

At the police station, the girl was able to remember her parents' phone numbers so the police managed to get in touch with them

Zainuddin said officers got a hold of them as they were still on the road back to their village.They picked her up yesterday morning.He also reminded the public not to be complacent, especially when it involves children, to avoid any untoward incidents.

Jadey shared with SAYS that his family was getting bored eating relief goods, so he started adding a twist to the canned foods and simple cheap meals by plating them as the restaurants do

He makes these meals for his parents and six nephews who are under his care right now.

Since the locals love their beauty contests, Jadey said that he dressed this 'tinapa' (cheap smoked fish) in a 'National costume'.

He's no chef but this guy sure has some food plating skills up his sleeve.
This plate of instant ramen went from looking like a RM3 to RM50 meal in a matter of seconds.

However, he revealed that each meal costs only 10 pesos each (roughly RM1) and takes him about five to 10 minutes to prepare.

Regular spaghetti and sweet potato won't cut it. He takes it up a notch by adding garnishings like fresh flowers and leaves.

Kakak Tanya Arwah Adik 14-Bulan Yang Telah Mati Lemas

Kakak umur lima melihat adik sendiri disemadikan, tetapi masih tanya arwah adik

Walaupun melihat sendiri jenazah Mohamad Bilal Mohd Zawawi, 14 bulan, sudah disemadikan di Tanah Perkuburan Islam, Nur Arina Damia Mohd Zawawi, 5, masih tidak dapat menerima hakikat kehilangan adik bongsunya.

        malaysiandigest.com

Nur Arina Damia Mohd Zawawi, 5, masih tidak dapat menerima hakikat kehilangan adik bongsunya dan sejak insiden pada Isnin lalu, dia cuba mencari jawapan sebenar termasuk bertanyakan kepada ibu bapanya.

        hmetro.com.my

“Ketika kejadian, Nur Arina bermain bersama Bilal dan seorang sepupu mereka dalam bilik tidur utama. Dalam sekelip mata, Bilal tiba-tiba meluru masuk ke bilik air dan tertonggeng dalam baldi menyebabkannya lemas,” katanya ketika dihubungi, semalam.

        malaysiandigest.com

Bapa bayi malang itu, Mohd Zawawi Husain, 34, berkata, mungkin kerana terlalu sedih dan rindukan adiknya, Nur Arina masih belum dapat menerima hakikat sebenar menyebabkan mereka sekeluarga terasa kehilangannya.

        hmetro.com.my

"Mungkin dia (Nur Arina) begitu terasa kehilangan Bilal, apatah lagi mereka bermain bersama-sama sebelum adiknya itu lemas." Bapa kepada tiga anak itu turut memaklumkan mereka sudah membatalkan niat untuk membeli rumah baru, sebaliknya akan terus menetap bersama ibunya di Jaya Gading di sini.

        hmetro.com.my

Ibu sesal seumur hidup meninggalkan bayi lelakinya selama 2 minit

Hanya kira-kira dua minit meninggalkan anak untuk menelefon suami, seorang wanita sesal seumur hidup apabila anak bongsunya berusia 14 bulan maut akibat lemas dalam baldi di rumahnya di Taman Putra Putri, Permatang Badak, di sini, petang kelmarin.

        hmetro.com.my

Sebelum itu, Surianti meninggalkan Mohamad Bilal bersama seorang lagi anaknya, Nur Arina Damia dan anak saudaranya dikenali sebagai Shira, masing-masing berusia lima tahun manakala anak sulung pasangan itu, Mohamad Eusoff, 8, mengikuti Kelas Asas Fardu Ain (KAFA) di Jaya Gading.

        kualalumpurpost.net

Mohd Zawawi yang juga pegawai bank di Kemaman, Terengganu, berkata, Surianti kemudian menghubunginya untuk berbincang mengenai hasrat mereka membeli rumah.

        busuk.org

Surianti, 34, left the room for a while to answer a phone call from Zawawi about 3.30pm.
Bilal is believed to have entered the bathroom at that time.

        malaysiandigest.com

Bayi 14-bulan mati tertonggeng dalam baldi berisi air

Dalam kejadian jam 3.30 petang itu, Mohamad Bilal Mohd Zawawi ditemui ibunya, Surianti Zahari, 34, dalam keadaan tertonggeng dengan kepalanya berada dalam baldi berisi air manakala kakinya ke atas dalam bilik air di bilik tidur utama.

        hmetro.com.my

Surianti almost fainted when she later found his lifeless body with his head submerged in the half-full pail.
She immediately alerted Zawawi before rushing Bilal to the Permatang Badak health clinic where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Pointing at the red pail, Zawawi hoped this mishap would serve as a lesson to parents with young children.

This RM4 Billion Project Aims To Bring 4G To M'sian Schools But The Numbers Don't Add Up

On Tuesday, 1 November, the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) found the Education Ministry "guilty of contract mismanagement" in their multi-billion-ringgit 1BestariNet project

Image via 1BestariNet

The 1BestariNet is a 15-year project worth RM4.47 billion under the Ministry of Education (MoE), introduced by Muhyiddin Yassin, the former deputy prime minister.The project was initiated in March 2011 with an aim to cover 10,000 government schools nationwide and was supposed to provide 4G broadband connectivity and virtual learning environment (VLE) to the schools.However, in the period of 30 months where the Ministry of Finance approved RM663 million, the project had come under fire from both the Attorney-General and PAC for having failed to deliver on time.In 2015, the AG's Report found that the software and equipment were used by just 1% of students in the participating schools, reported The Malay Mail Online.

Reportedly, the PAC has found that the 1BestariNet project did not go through a "value management process" — a mandatory process for projects worth RM50 million and above to go through

According to a circular from the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) dated 29 December 2009, projects worth RM50 million and above must go through a value management lab (VML) assessment. Something which the 1BestariNet project did not go through.While officers from the Education Ministry's information management division claimed they were unaware of the EPU circular, and as such did not implement VML as required, the PAC called the reasoning by the Education Ministry an "unacceptable excuse"."The PAC can't accept the excuse given by the Education Ministry regarding its lack of awareness regarding the VML circular," the committee said.

According to the PAC, the 1BestariNet project is plagued with suspicious expenses and the contracts weren't properly managed

PAC Chairman Hon. Dato' Sri Hasan bin Arifin.
Image via Kuala Lumpur Post

The PAC, which is led by Rompin MP Datuk Hasan Arifin, would be visiting all schools that are involved in the 1BestariNet project in both cities and rural areas.In light of which, the PAC has recommended a follow-up audit on the 1BestariNet."The PAC has decided that the Audit Department conduct a thorough follow-up audit regarding whether the matters raised by the department (previously) had been rectified because many of the government expenses (on 1BestariNet) is questionable," the committee wrote in its report on 1BestariNet."The PAC also wants the Auditor-General’s Department to carry out a study on the effectiveness in implementing the 1BestariNet project."

The project was awarded to YTL Communications via an open tender to build the 1BestariNet Receiver Integrated System (1BRIS) telecommunication towers at 3,203 schools throughout the country

However, the controversial thing about these towers is that they provide wireless Internet services not only to the schools but also to surrounding areas.There was concern that the towers would be used for YTL's YES 4G broadband services, thus constituting commercial network expansion at taxpayer's expense.While its commercial use was denied by Education Ministry in the PAC inquests, YTL themselves have admitted that use of towers is not confined to school premises.

While the JPPH recommended the Education Ministry to charge YTL a monthly rental of RM1,200 for each 1BRIS site, the Education Ministry decided on an mere RM1,000 annual rental instead

As per JPPH's (Valuation and Property Services Department) recommendation, YTL should have been charged a monthly rental of RM1,200.But the Education Ministry ONLY charged YTL RM1,000 for an entire year.

According to MP of Bukit Bendera and DAP lawmaker Zairil Khir Johari, the whole thing was a "bureaucratic fiasco"

In a post published on the FMT, Zairil Khir points out how:Based on JPPH's initial recommendation of RM1,200 per month per site, it would amount to RM46.12 million a year for all 3,203 sites.However, by reducing the rental rate to RM1,000 a year for each site, it would result in YTL only having to pay RM3.20 million a year, equating to a loss of revenue of RM42.92 million a year for the Ministry of Education.And now the rental charge has been further reduced.It is now only RM120 a year per site, amounting to RM384,360 a year. The difference between this and JPPH's recommendation is a whopping RM45.73 million.You can read the DAP lawmaker's full piece on FMT here.

Meanwhile, the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) has described the 1BestariNet project as "an abject failure"

NUTP President Kamarozaman Abd Razak has claimed that instead of helping it has often resulted in teachers and schools forking out more money for Internet connections, with only a handful of students benefitting from using the Internet service."If there were 10 students, only half could use the programme. It was a waste when we had 1BestariNet but teachers could not use it," Kamarozaman told FMT.

Speaking of education, Malaysia's education quality ranks 52 out of 72 countries:

An Epidemic Expert Is Optimistic The Coronavirus Outbreak In China Will Be Over By April

A government senior medical adviser in China said that the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak is just hitting its peak this month, and may be over by April

The forecast was given by Zhong Nanshan, an 83-year-old epidemiologist famous for his work in combating the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003, in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, 11 February.The medical professor at Guangzhou Medical University said he was optimistic the outbreak would soon slow, with the number of new cases already declining in some places.

The peak should come in middle or late February, followed by a plateau and decrease, said Zhong, who is also an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering

According to The Star, he said that he based the forecast on mathematical modelling, recent events, as well as government action currently taken to tackle the outbreak."I hope this outbreak or this event may be over in something like April," he said in the hospital run by the university he was affiliated with, where 11 coronavirus patients were being treated.

While his comments may provide assurance amid global panic over the coronavirus, it was also noted that Zhong's previous forecast of an earlier peak turned out to be premature

"We don't know why it's so contagious, so that's a big problem," said Zhong.However, he added there was a gradual reduction in new cases in the southern province of Guangdong where he is based, and also in a few other places in China, which he said was good news.For comparison, the SARS epidemic that happened 17 years ago lasted nearly six months, he said in the previous interview reported by China Daily."Since then we have made considerable progress in preventing and controlling major infectious diseases, so we have the confidence to effectively curb today's outbreak."

As of Thursday, 13 February, at least 1,355 people have died and nearly 60,000 infected in hard-hit China

In its daily update, Hubei's health commission confirmed that the number of fatalities and new cases nationwide has soared with 242 more deaths and nearly 15,000 extra patients.However, according to New Straits Times, the local officials explained that the huge jump was mostly caused by the change in the way they were diagnosing COVID-19 cases.The health commission said the official tolls would now include "clinically diagnosed" patients, which meant those suspected after lung imaging were sufficient to be diagnosed with the virus, rather than waiting for the confirmatory standard nucleic acid blood test.Although the numbers were higher, this meant that patients could get treatment as early as possible and health workers can be consistent with the classification used in other provinces.

According to Judge Hashim Hamzah, who chaired a three-person panel this morning, the MPKB's wheel clamping law goes against Section 72(7) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333)."The Court of Appeal found that Order 17, Road Transport Order (LKB) (MPKB) 2000 was ultra-vires (done beyond one's legal power or authority) with Section 72(7) of the Road Transport Act 1987," Hasim said, adding that only ministers are authorised to permit local authorities to enact wheel clamping laws.

This ruling means that the MPKB can no longer clamp vehicles that are illegally parked in parking lots and can only issue compounds

Malaysiakini reported that the MPKB can still impose compounds for parking-related offences.However, the council can still clamp cars that are illegally parked in restricted areas or not in parking lots.

Apa Kebaikan Terapi Pekerjaan Untuk Kanak-Kanak Autisme? Ini Adalah Penjelasan Pakar

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

Gangguan spektrum autisme (ASD) adalah gangguan perkembangan saraf yang menjejaskan keupayaan seseorang untuk berkomunikasi dan berinteraksi dengan orang lain.
Ia dipanggil gangguan 'spektrum' kerana ia memberi kesan kepada individu dengan cara dan tahap keterukan yang berbeza.

Menurut Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), kira-kira satu daripada 36 kanak-kanak telah dikenal pasti dengan ASD, dan autisme empat kali lebih biasa dalam kalangan kanak-kanak lelaki berbanding kanak-kanak perempuan.Individu yang mempunyai ASD selalunya mempunyai minat yang terhad dan tingkah laku yang berulang, serta belajar dengan cara yang berbeza. Mereka sering memerlukan lebih banyak sokongan dan penerimaan daripada orang lain.

Di antara pelbagai jenis intervensi, terapi pekerjaan telah terbukti penting dalam membantu kanak-kanak autisme mengembangkan kemahiran yang diperlukan untuk kehidupan seharian

Kami sempat menemu bual ahli terapi pekerjaan pediatrik Erica Chieng, yang menjelaskan bahawa terapi pekerjaan membantu penghidap autisme mengembangkan dan mengekalkan kemahiran untuk berdikari dalam kerja, bermain, rekreasi dan menjalankan aktiviti kehidupan seharian.Terapi ini penting kerana kanak-kanak autistik sering mengalami kesukaran dalam memproses deria mereka kepada rangsangan sekeliling seperti penglihatan, pendengaran, sentuhan, bau, rasa, proprioception, keseimbangan dan interoception (isyarat dalaman dari badan anda, seperti ketika anda lapar) ."Sehingga 80% penghidap ASD mempunyai masalah pemprosesan deria, yang mana mereka boleh bertindak balas sama ada dengan hipersensitiviti atau hiposensitiviti, bergantung pada mood dan rangsangan mereka," kata Chieng, yang memiliki ijazah Sarjana Muda Terapi Pekerjaan (Kepujian) dari Perdana Universiti.

Seseorang yang mempunyai ASD yang mengalami masalah deria seperti:– Mudah terharu– Selalu tutup telinga atau mata mereka– Bertindak terlalu aktif dengan melompat, berpusing, atau melanggar sesuatu– Buat pergerakan atau bunyi yang berulang-ulang, yang dikenali sebagai rangsangan– Mempunyai nada otot yang rendah, atau kelihatan 'liut'– Sering mengalami pening– Suka mengunyah barang bukan makanan– Menjadi seorang yang picky eater– Tidak suka disentuh, seperti semasa memotong rambut dan kuku– Tidak suka barangan atau tekstur, contohnya pakaian tertentu

Ahli terapi pekerjaan bekerja dengan menilai, membangun dan mengajar individu dengan ASD cara memproses dan mengawal kesukaran deria mereka sendiri yang unik

Memandangkan keperluan pemprosesan deria setiap kanak-kanak adalah berbeza, ahli terapi pekerjaan perlu menghasilkan strategi yang sesuai untuk kanak-kanak mempelajari kemahiran yang akan membantu dalam aktiviti kehidupan seharian seperti memakai pakaian mereka sendiri, makan, menulis guna tangan dan bermain permainan.Matlamatnya adalah untuk kanak-kanak itu kekal tenang dan fokus supaya mereka boleh mempelajari kemahiran baharu, bermain dan berinteraksi dengan orang lain."Dengan pemahaman corak deria setiap individu dengan ASD, ahli terapi pekerjaan boleh menyesuaikan program penyepaduan deria untuk mereka, yang selalunya melalui pendekatan berasaskan permainan dan minat untuk menjadikannya sangat menyeronokkan dan bermotivasi," tambah Chieng.

Najib Who Is In Jail For His Crimes Has Been Named As Pekan UMNO's Candidate For GE15

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

The Pekan UMNO division has named Najib Razak as a potential candidate for the 15th general election (GE15), despite him being in jail

The division's deputy head Zamri Ramly said Najib is among the five candidates nominated by them.Zamri, however, refused to reveal the other four names."There is no plan to place Najib's son to contest the Pekan seat if Najib is not eligible to contest. Instead, whoever is chosen for the seat will return it to Najib if he gets pardoned," he told Utusan Malaysia.The jailed former prime minister has been the Pekan member of parliament (MP) since 1976, except for a single term from 1982-1986 when he was the menteri besar (MB) of Pahang.

Najib, however, is no longer eligible to contest in any election

Based on Article 48 of the Federal Constitution, Najib is disqualified from being an election candidate as he was sentenced to more than a year in prison and fined more than RM2,000.The only way for Najib to contest an election is to get a royal pardon before nomination day.While he has filed for a review to overturn his SRC corruption conviction and has also sought a royal pardon, he may not be able to get a result in the time to qualify as a candidate for GE15.Even though the Election Commission has not made an announcement, polling is likely to be held in early November, according to political analyst Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara.There is, however, a possibility that if Najib gets a Royal pardon even an hour prior to the nomination, his application as a candidate will be accepted, said lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla.

Meanwhile, prior to the dissolution of the parliament, Najib sued the government after he was not allowed to attend the Dewan Rakyat:

Video Of Dr Noor Hisham Singing 'Shanghai Beach' In Cantonese Is Going Viral. Watch It Now

It seems like other than being a reliable figure on issues concerning national health, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has a secret talent for singing too

A video showing Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham singing Shanghai Beach onstage is going viral on social media.In the one-minute-and-32-second video, he can be seen singing the classic song in Cantonese along with someone who seems to be Dr Margaret Chan, the former World Health Organization (WHO) director-general.The duo is believed to have performed during the 67th session of the World Health Organization Regional Committee for the Western Pacific, which took place in Manila, the Philippines four years ago.

Image via lowyat.net

During a break between choruses, Dr Chan says Dr Noor Hisham dedicated the song to her because the song "actually talks about pretty much what I did in 10 years"

The song, originally sung by Frances Yip, is about the emotional impact of the drastic change of an era on people, using the tides at the Shanghai's Bund as a metaphor. A verse in the song goes, "Washed away the worldly affairs, torrential mixing of the tidal currents. Is it happiness? Is it sorrow? Hard to differentiate between happiness and sorrow in the waves."It seems like Dr Noor Hisham dedicated the song to Dr Chan as an acknowledgment of her efforts in serving the top post in WHO, a position that oversees the policy of the organisation's international health work while acting as its chief technical and administrative officer.

Image via Lowyat.NET

Dr Chan can be seen referring to a piece of paper while singing the song. As for Dr Noor Hisham, it is a breeze for him as he seems to know the lyrics by heart.

The video was also posted on the Lowyat.NET forum and it has amused netizens online. One person even started singing along with Dr Noor Hisham."Long ban... Deng deng deng... Long lau... Deng deng deng," a netizen typed out the transliteration of the lyrics.

Another forum member said Shanghai Beach is the best song if one wants to spark a connection with the older folks, while another netizen commended Dr Noor Hisham for his singing talent.

Menerusi video yang dimuat naik oleh Marjinah Juin di laman TikToknya, kelihatan dia ketika itu sedang bergambar bersama seluruh ahli keluarganya di pagi raya pertama.Namun, Marjinah dengan spontan berkata kepada salah seorang abangnya "ada topi terbang" kerana si abang berwajah gelap dan dari jauh hanya nampak kopiahnya yang berwarna putih itu saja.Si abang kemudian pantas mengheret kaki adiknya itu keluar daripada frame camera gara-gara geram dibahan seperti itu.

This New Housing Scheme Will Help Youths Save Money To Buy Houses In The Future

4,800 units of studio apartment will be built for youths by the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing, and Local Government

In a report by Free Malaysia Today (FMT), the Minister of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Noh Omar, said that the apartments will be built on the ministry's land in the Batu district in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. Batu district is located about 20-30 minutes from the city center and is well connected to other parts of the city, thanks to the KTM train service.

The revolutionary project will be called the 'Youth Transit Apartment Project' and its first phase would begin in July. It will see the construction of two-bedroom units with sizes ranging from 450 to 650 square feet.

Tenants will have to pay RM800 for rent per month and the maximum rental period is five years for each tenant. What's great about this housing scheme is that RM300 out of the RM800 that tenants pay monthly, will be saved by the government until the end of the five-year rental period. This will help them save money to buy a house after that. "If the tenant meets the terms of the agreement and pays the rent every month on a regular basis, we will return his 'savings' of RM18,000, which will allow him to rent a house or use it as a deposit to buy a new home… that's our goal," explained Noh, in the FMT report yesterday, 17 April. The ministry decided on the rental after looking into the rental rates for studio apartments in the the same area.

Noh also took the opportunity to announce that the ministry will be extending the 10% ownership quota of the Public Housing Project (PPR) for ministry's staff

Ministry staff who are earning RM3,000 and below a month are eligible for the scheme and can apply for the PPR Seri Aman, Jinjang, Kepong Utara, PPR Lembah Subang 1 and PPR Lembah Subang 2, starting 17 April. FMT also reported that Noh had launched the National Housing Management System (SPRN), which is an online system Malaysians can use to apply for government housing projects effective 2 May 2017.
