Unlike silver and copper, gold is extremely resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions. In other words, you don't have to polish it for it to shine.

Gold is known to be 'eternal'. When the steel frames of buildings begin to rot, your gold trinket at home still looks like new.

Johorean Man Tracks Down His 'Cloned' Car In Selangor After Receiving Mysterious Summonses

A man from Johor managed to track down a 'cloned' vehicle of his Mazda 6 in Bangi, Selangor after receiving multiple traffic summonses of offences he did not remember committing

The man, who only wishes to be known as Jo and is in his 40s, said the 'cloned' vehicle has the same number plate and road tax expiry date as his Mazda 6, which he bought four years ago in Johor.According to Harian Metro, he managed to find the vehicle thanks to his nephew because the latter spotted Jo's alleged vehicle at Bangi two weeks ago."My nephew, who lives in Bangi, informed me that he came across my car there and thought it was me. He asked why I did not stop by at his house at that time," Jo related."I was confused for a moment because at that time I was in Kuantan with my wife to sort out arrangements for my child's education.""Based on the information given by my nephew as well as the picture of the car, I made the first police report in Johor Bahru for further action," he said.

Jo clarified that he did not deliberately drive to Bangi from Johor just to track down the car

He said he stopped by at his nephew's house in Bangi last Sunday 13 September, because he had other business to attend to."My nephew then took me to the location to see the car. We found it in a parking area and contacted the police," Jo told the daily."I also asked the residents around the area about the car, but they claimed that they did not know the owner."Following that, he lodged a second police report at Bandar Baru Bangi.Jo added that he had received summonses in the past for traffic offences he was unsure that he committed. Despite that, he said that he had paid all the summonses because he needed to renew his road tax last May.At the time of writing, photos of Jo's vehicle and the 'clone' parking side by side are widely circulating on social media, with thousands of netizens cracking jokes about the strange 'glitch in the matrix'.

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS (Facebook)

The initial investigation by the Royal Police Malaysia (PDRM) revealed that the vehicle is not 'cloned', but a stolen car from Pahang

Kajang District Police Chief Asst Comm Mohd Zaid Hassan confirmed receiving a report on the matter, reported The Star."When our officers arrived at the scene, they found a locked red Mazda parked in a public parking spot," he said, adding that the vehicle was using a fake licence plate."Further investigation revealed the vehicle had been reported missing in Beserah, Pahang."According to Sinar Harian, the district police chief said that the police have yet to find any individual who is connected to the stolen car. Mohd Zaid said the car will be sent to Kuantan to facilitate investigations into the theft case there.


Japanese Zoo Staff Pretended To Be A Lion And The Real Ones Were Not Impressed

A zoo in Japan recently went viral after a video of a "lion" conducting an escape drill surfaced on the Internet

Image via Mainichi News Group

Footage recorded in Japan's Tobe Zoo captured a man dressed in a furry lion costume representing the animal trying to escape the zoo during an "earthquake" or any "emergency".According to The Guardian, Japan performs these drills because of the frequency of earthquakes in the country. It is conducted to prepare the staff so they know what to do in such cases.

The man in costume was seen running around trying to get out of the zoo, while staff attempted to "capture" him with nets and air guns

Image via Mainichi News Group

In the case of a natural disaster, the lion would be transquilised with transquiliser guns instead of air guns if its enclosure is destroyed. This is to prevent an actual lion on the loose.

Meanwhile, the real lions seemed more concerned for the human in the costume

"Good Job, Kak" - Mall Cleaner Praised For Returning A Wallet With More Than RM12K Cash

What would you do if you stumbled upon a wallet with cash in it?
While you ponder on that question, here's a story of a woman who returned a lost wallet with more than RM12,000 cash in it.

Image via Bernama Radio/Facebook via MMO

On 9 October, a woman who's a cleaner at the Berjaya Times Square shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, stumbled upon a wallet, which she found while she was on duty.The woman, Samona Marhama, a 34-year-old Indonesian, found the wallet containing more than RM12,000 in a diaper changing room at the third floor of the shopping mall.It was learned that Samona actually did not know the amount of money in the wallet because she did not open it. Instead, she immediately handed it over to her supervisor. The management of the mall then surrendered it over to the police.

According to media reports, the wallet contained USD3,000 (RM12,666) dan SYP3,650 (RM30)

Samona told reporters that she did not want to open the wallet because it does not belong to her and that she doesn't have the right to see what is in it."I found the wallet and suspected that someone may have left it behind. Without thinking for long, I handed it over to the management," she was quoted as saying by Bernama.She reportedly said that she was compelled to turn in the wallet out of a sense of responsibility, adding that these values should be instilled in everyone.

Many netizens have praised Samona for her remarkable sense of integrity

Image via Facebook

Samona's act of honesty has also not gone unnoticed by the police

Image via Bernama via NST

Harian Metro reported yesterday, 22 October, that Dang Wangi district police chief Mohd Sukri Kaman presented a certificate of appreciation to Samona and the mall management in a simple ceremony at the shopping centre recently. Meanwhile, the authorities are still looking for the individual who has misplaced a wallet to come forward to retrieve it at the Tun HS Lee police station."Police did not find any identification documents in the wallet. Apart from the money, only a few photographs believed to be of the owner were in the wallet," Mohd Sukri was quoted as saying.

Thank you, Samona, for being a shining example and for reminding us that no legacy is as rich as honesty!

Mum Who Beat 9-Year-Old Son To Death For Losing Her Phone Sentenced To 10 Years In Jail

Back in 2018, a mother in China beat her nine-year-old son to death for not doing his homework and losing her handphone. A year and a half later, the mother has now been sentenced to 10 years in jail.

The mother, identified as Chen, was angry after learning that her nine-year-old son had lost her phone when he sneaked out of the house in Huang Qiao district of Taizhou, east China, without doing his homework. On 5 January 2018, Chen strapped her son onto a chair by bandages and beat him with a wooden pole from 6pm to 11pm.She covered his mouth so that neighbours couldn't hear him scream. Next morning, he was found with wounds all over his body and was pronounced dead at the scene.On 2 June 2019, a Chinese site reported that a court sentenced the mother to 10 years in prison. The court ruled that the harm inflicted on her son was an act of intentional injury and ordered the mother's political rights to be deprived for two years.

Image via imgur.com

The mother claims that she did not beat her son for five hours consecutively but about five times throughout the five-hour duration

According to the report in the Chinese news site, while the son had confessed to his mother about losing the phone, she slapped him as she believed he was lying.After she tied him up and beat him continuously for five hours, she also did not feed him any food and only gave him very little water, AsiaOne reported on Monday.When she was finally putting the boy to bed, he reportedly told her that he doesn't want to see her, saying: "Mama, I do not want to see you."

An autopsy report revealed that the boy died of hemorrhagic shock combined with a blockage in an artery in the lungs

During the beating, the mother had used a wooden rod on her son.According to local reports, she also repeatedly stabbed his feet with a sewing needle.

“The rent used to be RM16.75 back in the 1950s, now it’s RM220 per month,” Lim explained in a mix of Malay and Hokkien dialect, interpreted by a visitor who wished to be known as Melanie.He said he goes to the Penang General Hospital every day on his own on a wheelchair for his dressing. He said the hospital director had suggested that he should move to a nearby old folks’ home but he refused.“It’s much more convenient for me to stay at my own place. I can cook and eat whatever and whenever I want,” he laughed.

He said he used to have an electric wheelchair, a gift from a kind donor. He said the donor helped to build a ramp in front of his house. When the ramp proved to be too steep for use, the man built a second ramp next to the first one.However, three years ago, while on the way to the hospital for his dressing, a motorcycle rider accidentally hit his wheelchair. It turned out the rider had a heart attack and died on the spot, while Lim fell and hit his head on the road.His electric wheelchair was damaged in the incident and he was forced to use crutches to get around until six months ago when another donor gave him his current wheelchair.

Once a vegetable seller and a coffee shop helper, Lim now survives on his monthly RM300 aid from the Welfare Department. According to The Star, uncle Ah San also collects and sells recyclable materials to make ends meet and pay his house monthly rental of RM220.

“My nephew would sometimes send recyclable items to my house, and I would keep it for a month before calling the recycling centres to come and collect them. I can get more than RM100 a month from selling the items.”

Asked if the income and welfare aid are sufficient for his monthly expenses, Lim said occasional donations that he received from kind visitors and family friends helped him to pay for his expenses.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Uncle Ah San may be struggling with life, making ends meet while suffering from elephantiasis, but the octogenarian has a heart of gold. He shares the little he has to help the less fortunate. He has extended his hospitality to a Vietnamese cleaner who works at the general hospital and lets her stay at his house on the upper floor.

“I asked her to stay for free,” he said, adding that sometimes the cleaner would help push him back home on his wheelchair after his visit to the hospital.Lim also said his neighbours were kind to him, adding that they would drop by his house for a chat and even cook for him at times.

        themalaysianinsider.com

His kind deeds include handing over some of his meagre savings to a charity organisation for the visually impaired and buying food for underprivileged orphans."Sometimes, it’s good to give back. As long as I am able to help the poor, I will.""In this life, if we can have some food to eat, and be healthy, there is already so much reason to be happy and grateful," he said.

        thestar.com.my

Lim's condition was brought to public attention by his ex-neighbour Shirin Aziha, who recently teamed up with social activist Syed Azmi to urge Malaysians on social media to help make his life easier.

Shirin, 27, said one of Syed Azmi’s postings about helping an elderly man being mistreated by his own family triggered her to seek help for Lim.“I asked for his (Syed Azmi’s) help to use his platform to share the story of Uncle (Lim),” Shirin told The Malaysian Insider during a visit to Lim’s house on Sunday.Shirin, who moved to Kuala Lumpur five years ago, said she got to know Lim when she was about 10 years old while growing up in Kampung Shaik Eusoff at Jalan Dato Keramat.“I lived two minutes away from his house. I used to pass by his house every day when I walked to school,” she said, adding that she would help him walk across the road and this was how the two became close friends.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In this FB post, dated 12 June, Azmi together with Shirin asked people to donate to their crowdfunding mission to raise RM8,000.
They said the money will be used to buy items like a remote-controlled electric bed, a commode chair, groceries, medications for the dressing of his wound, along with it they would also hire a part-time maid and a private nurse for his daily wound dressing.

Shirin Aziha (second from left) says they hit their target within 24 hours after posting Lim Kim Sung's (seated) story on Facebook. Kind netizens have also been visiting Lim's house.

The Facebook post quickly went viral. As of writing this story, the post has 3,148 Likes and has received over 3,200 shares. It even caught the attention of social activist Marina Mahathir, and she too has shared it.Speaking to The Star, Shirin said that, "Those who donated were not just Malaysians, but from around the world. Within 24 hours, RM8,000 had poured in. I had this need to help him, especially after his wife passed away. He is now alone. I used to give him money whenever I visit him but I want to do more."The funds will also be used to pay for a hired private nurse who will change his dressing daily, prepare meals for him, and assist with some chores," she added.

On 15 June, Penang Hospital Visitors Board chairman Lim Thoon Deong visited uncle Ah San at his place. He said he would help him apply for assistance from the Penang MCA Medical Aid Fund.

“I have also arranged for him to have a full medical checkup at the Penang Hospital tomorrow,” he said.

Meanwhile, uncle Ah San's eyes lit up when Shirin's name was brought up by The Star. He remembers her well. "She has been helping me since she was a little girl. I am very grateful for all the help she has given me," he said. "She is like a daughter I never had."

Taking to a Kuala Lumpur community Facebook group to vent his discontent, he said he saw a diner paying RM9 for claypot pork belly rice with salted fish, while he paid RM10 for his pork rib rice. "Only three slices of meat! three slices of meat!" he exclaimed, adding, "The (two) middle pieces are considered one piece.""It's not that I can't afford it, (the restaurant) should not have overdone it. I was crying in my heart as I was eating it."The photo he uploaded shows four pieces of meat, with two being disproportionately smaller than the other pieces, a portion of rice, and some sauce.There are no sesame toppings, or coriander and spring onion garnishes. Some lettuce as a side is also nowhere to be found on the plate.

In the comments section, some netizens showed off the pork rib rice, or a similar dish, they recently had and revealed how much they paid for it.None of them paid more than RM10, and they all received more meat as well as an extra fried egg.

Apostates In Malaysia Receive Death Threats After Atheist Group Photo Goes Viral

Last week, the Atheist Republic Consulate of Kuala Lumpur held its annual gathering and posted a photo of the members on its Facebook group.
Just days later, the seemingly innocent photo sparked a nationwide debate on apostasy in Malaysia.

Image via Facebook/Atheist Republic

"The Atheist Republic Consulate of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia held its annual gathering and it was such a blast! Atheists from all walks of life came to meet one another, some for the very first time... each sharing their stories and forming new friendships that hopefully will last a lifetime! We rock!" read the status that was posted along with the photo on 3 August. The photo was posted on a Facebook page named, Atheist Republic, which is a Vancouver-based non-profit group that provides atheists a platform to share their views and help each other express their atheism. The group has over 1.6 million followers from around the world on its Facebook page.

It all started with the comments on the photo. A large number of furious netizens issued thinly veiled death threats to Muslim apostates, while some called it an agenda to topple Islam in Malaysia.

One even went as far as to say that apostates "don't deserve to be Malaysian citizens"

Image via Twitter/Ali A. Rizvi

While another reminded other angry netizens that we're a democratic country, not an Islamic nation

Image via Twitter/Ali A. Rizvi

Simply put, the comment section was basically used as a platform to spew hate speeches against atheists and apostates

Image via Twitter/Ali A. Rizvi

The comments got the attention of the local authorities, who have now launched an investigation on the group, as many have claimed that Malaysian Muslims are also part of the atheist club

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki
Image via The Rakyat Post

Bernama reported Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki as saying that a detailed investigation will be conducted on the issue, urging the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to look into the matter as it involves the faith of Malaysian Muslims. "If it is proven that there are Muslims involved in atheist activities that could affect their faith, the state Islamic religious departments or Jawi could take action. I have asked for Jawi to look into this grave allegation," he stressed, as reported by Bernama on 6 August. "We need to determine whether any Muslims attended the gathering, and whether they are involved in spreading such views, which can jeopardize the aqidah (faith) of Muslims," Dr Asyraf told Reuters.

Dr Asyraf explained that ex-Muslims would typically be sent for counselling, adding that attempts to spread atheist ideologies could be prosecuted under Malaysian laws

"We need to use the soft approach with (apostates). Perhaps they are ignorant of the true Islam, so we need to engage them and educate them on the right teachings," he added. It was also reported that the Malaysian government has carried out many programmes that aim to strengthen the beliefs of Muslims from school-level onwards.

Responding to the matter, Atheist Republic's founder Armin Navabi, has stressed that the group and its meetings are harmless

In a report by Malay Mail Online (MMO) yesterday, 7 August, the Iran-born founder said that the group organises meetings like that in other parts of the world too and there has been no issues with it. "We have consulates in every country including Philippines which is in the same area, but guess what, we don’t have these nonsense attacks on them. No government cracking down on our people simply for the fact they change their minds."What does this group do to anybody? How do they harm anybody?" he asked, when speaking to MMO.

Atheist Republic's chief executive, Allie Jackson agreed with Armin, saying that it was a harmless hangout session

"A group of beautiful people got together to hangout with each other, it made them happy and they took a picture. They didn't hurt anyone, they didn't mean to cause harm, they just wanted to be together and have a good time."The next thing we know...the government is getting involved. They are being told that they should be beheaded, or run out of their country," she added.

Apostasy is a highly sensitive issue in Malaysia. While it is not a federal crime, issues related to Islam are parked under the Syariah law in Malaysia and most states have their own laws governing Islamic affairs.

In 2014, MMO spoke to the Department of Syariah Judiciary Malaysia (JKSM) about apostasy and leaving Islam in Malaysia. Here are are some highlights from the report on converting out of Islam in Malaysia:- Five states in Malaysia prohibits apostasy or attempted apostasy and they are Perak, Pahang, Malacca, Sabah, and Terengganu. Conversion out of Islam is a crime punishable by a fine or imprisonment in these states. - In Sabah and Kelantan, those convicted of apostasy or attempted apostasy can be detained in Islamic Rehabilitation Centres for up to 36 months. - In Melaka, people found guilty of apostasy or attempted apostasy can face up to six months of detention in the rehabilitation centres. - In Perak, people convicted of apostasy can be fined for up to RM3,000 or jailed for up to two years, or both. - In Pahang, these people can be fined for up to RM5,000 or jailed for up to three years or caned for up to six times or a combination of any of these punishments. - Negeri Sembilan is the only state in the country with laws on the procedure to renounce Islam.

Malaysians Trapped In North Korea Are Back Home Safely

The nine Malaysians who were trapped in North Korea are finally back home after almost a month

"Alhamdulillah, they took off from Pyongyang today (30 March) at 7.45pm Malaysian time, and will land in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow (31 March) around 5am," said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in a statement, as reported by Malaysiakini.Both North Korea and Malaysia lifted their respective travel bans yesterday, 30 March and deal was informed by Najib and confirmed by the North Korean state media. In line with that, Najib said that the North Koreans citizens can leave Malaysia too.  There were initially 11 Malaysians trapped in North Korea, but since two of them held United Nations' travel documents, they were allowed to leave.

When speaking to Channel NewsAsia, the counsellor of the Malaysian embassy in Pyongyang, Mohamad Nor Azrin, said that they were not threatened and were free to move around during the travel ban. They were, however, troubled by the fact that they were not allowed to leave North Korea. "We were very concerned because we had done no wrong. But we had to keep our spirits up," he added. Nor Azrin also said that staff from other embassies looked out for them by offering to bring food and supplies from Beijing.

In their efforts to ensure the safe return of Malaysians, the government sent Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) crew who impersonated as commercial pilots to fly them out of North Korea

Lieutenant-colonel Hasrizan Kamis

In a report by New Straits Times (NST), the crew of two pilots, two co-pilots, and two quartermasters were all reportedly clad in casual attire instead of their RMAF uniforms during their rescue mission. "We received the order (for the rescue mission) on Monday. However, we were only able to take off from the Subang air base, en route to Pyongyang, on a Bombardier Global Express business jet at around 10.30am on Thursday.""It was a mixed feeling, as we did not know what to expect when we reached North Korea. However, everything was normal when we arrived there," explained Lieutenant-colonel Hasrizan Kamis to NST.

Meanwhile, Najib announced that Jong-nam's body will be sent back to North Korea as a letter from his family requested for his remains to be returned to Pyongyang

"In addition, following the completion of the autopsy on the deceased and receipt of a letter from his family requesting the remains be returned to North Korea, the coroner has approved the release of the body," said Najib. However, Najib did not mention who exactly from the family made the request for the body to be sent back to Pyongyang. Jong-nam's family are believed to have gone into hiding after his death. They were previously living in exile in Macau. According to a report by Channel NewsAsia, Foreign Minister Anifah Aman confirmed that Jong-nam's body is on its way back to North Korea. The body was put onboard a Malaysia Airlines flight to Beijing at 7.39pm on 30 March. Yonhap, a South Korean news agency reported today that Jong-nam's body will be flown to Pyongyang via an Air Koryo flight tomorrow, 1 April.

The prime minister also took the opportunity to thank everyone who played a part in the negotiations for the release of Malaysians trapped in North Korea

He also mentioned that Malaysia takes such crimes very seriously and that the investigation on the death of Jong-nam will continue. "I have instructed for all possible measures to be taken to bring those responsible for this murder to justice," added Najib in the statement.

After years of enjoying a very cordial relationship with North Korea, things took an ugly turn when Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was assassinated at KLIA2 on 13 February

Two foreign nationals - a Vietnamese and an Indonesian, have been arrested and charged with the murder. Evidence and CCTV footage proves that the duo approached the victim and smeared his face with the lethal nerve agent VX. Malaysian authorities are currently on the lookout for seven North Korean suspects, four of whom left Malaysia on 13 February, the day of the murder. Interpol issued a red notice for the four North Korean suspects and as of today, they are still on the organisation's list of those wanted for murder. The four suspects are - Rhi Ji-hyon, 33, Hong Song-hac, 34, O Jong-gil, 55, and Ri Jae-nam, 57.

Agong: Political Crisis That Plagued The Nation For 4 Years Could Have Been Avoided

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

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah today, 13 February, stated that the political crisis that plagued the nation for the past four years could have been avoided

During his Royal Address from the throne at the opening of the first meeting of the second term of the 15th Parliament, Sultan Abdullah, for the first time, shared his personal experience of facing four different governments and the political crisis that plagued the nation since his appointment as the Agong in 2019.The Agong said that if the events that led to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's resignation — the Sheraton Move — did not occur, we would have avoided the political crisis that plagued the nation for almost four years."If the events that led to the resignation of the seventh prime minister did not happen, the chain of political crisis that lasted until the 15th General Election (GE15) could have been avoided," Sultan Abdullah said, adding, "More importantly, the political crisis that plagued the nation for almost four years could have been avoided if members of parliament (MPs) set aside their differences and unite in the interests of the people."

The Agong said he hopes Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be the last candidate before his five-year reign ends next year

"I hope the 10th Prime Minister is the last one for me before I return to Pahang Darul Makmur," he said."To this day, I have gone through various unforgettable incidents and experiences. It will be recorded in history that I'm the only Agong who has been 'blessed' to reign over the country with four prime ministers," he added. The Agong's remark reportedly prompted laughter from the August House.

According to the Agong, he has no intention of getting involved in the nation's politics, "let alone get involved in political manoeuvres"

However, while recounting the events that happened since the fall of the Pakatan Harapan government, the Agong said that he was "brought into the country's political crisis" for the first time on 24 February 2020."Following the discretionary powers given to me by the Federal Constitution, I found that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin had obtained the majority to be appointed as the eighth prime minister on 1 March 2020. But unfortunately, he also resigned on 16 August 2021. Therefore, I was again forced to bear the responsibility to choose and appoint a new prime minister," he said.The ninth prime minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, was appointed on 21 August 2021."After GE15 was completed, for the first time in the country's democratic history, it was facing a hung parliament. Therefore, I again had to bear the great responsibility of choosing and appointing the prime minister," he said."At the age of 66, we should have matured to make our unique differences as a main ingredient in the formation of a Malaysia that is respectful, tolerant, loving, and living in unity," he added.

While congratulating Anwar for successfully proving the legitimacy of his role as prime minister last year, the Agong advised politicians to respect the August House and serve with honesty to the people

"On 30 January 2024, I will end my term. Therefore, this will be the last time I will present my speech here at the August House. Put aside your political agendas and unite for the sake of unity," he said.The current Dewan Rakyat sitting is for 29 days until 30 March.

Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) has taken over the operations of the national carrier from Malaysian Airline System Bhd. The new company took over operations of the national carrier today.

        nst.com.my

In a statement at its website it said that the change in the company will not impact the day-to-day operations of MAB. There will also be no changes to the national carrier’s current flights, schedules, reservations, or operations.

        nst.com.my

MAB receives Air Operator Certificate (AOC) on Friday after months of audits, including in terms of operation qualification, aircraft maintenance, and conformity regulation.MAB starts a campaign called #todayishere on social media, an introductory move to the company's new brand.

#todayishere is a proclamation of the joy of travelling. Together, let's start our new journey. pic.twitter.com/yuTajHKWXn— MAB (@MAS) August 31, 2015

CEO Christoph Mueller was on the ground early this morning to welcome in the new MAB, taking ground staff and flight crews by surprise as well as making it a point to welcome the first MAB flight into the country as well as the last outgoing MAS flight

According to The Star, some 180 types of allowances paid out by Malaysia Airlines, including a monthly bicycle allowance to one employee, contributed to the airline's financial woes. It quoted MAS CEO Christoph Mueller as saying that huge overtime claims, over-priced contracts and salaries also added to the airline's costs.

In an interview with local daily The Star, Mueller said that there has been a “bad practice” of the “abuse of overtime” claims in MAS, which had contributed to the company’s financial hardship.“Overtime became, in certain areas of our company, a hidden currency for base pay substitution. That is just bad practice because it not only results in us paying an enormous amount of overtime, the aircraft also leaves the hangar late.”

        themalaymailonline.com

Mueller, however, said that MAS was not alone in its predicament, adding that this phenomenon was also prevalent in many airlines

“In many airlines, it grows over the years. You have a flight into a cold area and there is a winter clothing allowance. It is not just the base salary you get. You have a lot of other things,” he said in an interview.

        thestar.com.my

Tasked with turning MAS around, Mueller also said the airline suffered a lot from "abuse of overtime", adding that the overtime payments were at times higher than salaries

He told the paper that overtime became a hidden currency for base pay substitution in certain parts of the company. Mueller said this was bad practice, as apart from having to pay high for overtime, it also caused the aircraft to leave the hangar late."That is because you can only justify the overtime if the work you do is delayed,” he said, adding that as such, there was the motivation to deliver an aircraft out of the hangar permanently late.

        themalaysianinsider.com

To move away from all this, MAS Bhd, the new airline which will take off on 1 September 2015, will have a reward system for staff who finish work on time, he told while speaking with The Star

“We had the motivation to deliver our aircraft out of the hangar permanently late and it was a kind of an incentive. We have to replace this type of bad practice with more flat salaries so we can incentivise people with more money if they finish the work on time, which I think is more normal,” he added.

        thestar.com.my

He said that the employment terms for MAS Bhd were benchmarked with several airlines or specialised companies, adding that the new base salary will take into account the current cost of living in the various locations where MAS is based, including Malaysia, and also the seniority of an employee

Image via Reuters

“We have taken into account seniority, so it is a very complex process. We have created a bandwidth of salary levels and also employee advancement in their career,” he added.

        thestar.com.my

The Star also quoted an anonymous source who said the salaries of some senior executives was an issue with some unions, with some earning more than RM100,000 a month

As of the end of December 2013, MAS’s staff cost was its second biggest item after fuel, totalling RM2.3 billion in 2013, down from RM2.5 billion a year earlier at the group level.

        themalaysianinsider.com

MAS has 3,779 contracts, all of which are being renegotiated. Meanwhile, contractors who do not drop prices to match market prices may not win contracts with MAS Bhd.

Selangor Exco Says Local Authorities Don't Have The Power To Close Factories In The State

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

Local authorities (PBT) in Selangor do not have the power to stop factories from operating despite the current COVID-19 situation, according to a Selangor State Executive Council member

In a statement today, 14 July, state Local Government, Public Transportation, and New Village Development executive councillor Ng Sze Han said that local authorities do not have the necessary power in accordance with the laws currently in force to close factories to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the state.His statement comes amidst demands for local authorities in the state to exercise their powers to revoke operating licences of factories that continue to operate despite contributing to the daily cases."Under Section 107(2) of the Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171), it appears to say that every licence and permit issued may be revoked at any time for any reason at all and without recourse. However, it does not allow for this power to be used arbitrarily, but rather in accordance to the conditions and parameters stated in the licence at the time it was issued," he said in the statement."This section also does not specify when a PBT may order the closure of factories. The factory operating licence issued by PBTs is only subject to Act 171 in this manner," he added.

Ng went on to state that for public health matters, there is already another act currently in force, through which the government has been enforcing orders of closure and standard operating procedures (SOPs)

"Health matters are enforced through the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342), specifically Section 3(1). Since 18 March last year, this act has empowered the government to enforce SOPs, as well as implemented the various Movement Control Orders (MCO) and the Enforced Movement Control Order (EMCO) that is currently in place in Selangor," said Ng.He explained that even though the Federal government amended Section 2(1) of the Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 on 3 March this year, it did not mean the local authorities have the power to order the closure of the factories."The amendment was made to enable environmental health officers in PBT areas to help ensure compliance of the SOPs and federal government's instructions," he said.

Despite this impasse, the exco says that there have been efforts to close down errant factories which don't comply with SOPs under 'Ops Patuh'

"According to PDRM, there had been 39,604 inspections conducted under Ops Patuh in Selangor as of 12 July. From this, a total of 768 compounds were issued and 214 premises were ordered to close," he added.'Ops Patuh' is a nationwide SOPs enforcement initiative launched late last month. It is under the purview of the COVID-19 MCO SOPs Compliance and Enforcement Coordination Committee (JKPS), which is headed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) and counts Selangor PBTs as members."These inspections will continue to ensure that the spread of COVID-19 can be controlled as to not overwhelm the healthcare system."In conclusion, Ng says that the state government is doing everything it can within the constrains of the law, and that its actions are in line with the doctrines of "rule of law" and "fair and equitable treatment".

Putrajaya Can Bar You From Leaving The Country For Undisclosed Reasons

Owning a passport is a privilege for Malaysians, not a right

Image via AFP

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed, said today that the passports issued at the discretion of the department’s director-general are a privilege and not a right. “The power to allow people to go in or out of the country is with the director-general. And he also issues the passport, which is actually a privilege, not a right," he was quoted as saying by Malay Mail Online.

He was responding to the Immigration Department’s new rule to bar those who have insulted or defamed the country from travelling

Earlier today, The Star reported Immigration Department director-general Datuk Sakib Kusmi confirmed that there is a new ruling that can bar Malaysians from travelling overseas for up to three years if they are guilty of discrediting or ridiculing the government.Nur Jazlan said that what is considered as defamatory to the country is based on the discretion of the Immigration Department Director-General (D-G)."So they carry out their duties with the interest of Malaysia in mind," he was quoted as saying by The Star. "Some people do things in their individual capacity. It doesn't affect people directly but it may have affected the country's image. Some people do things with the deliberate intention to bring down the country's image and reputation. So we look at those people who collectively do harmful things to the country and take action," he said.

18 MAY: The government does not need to justify why Malaysians are barred from leaving the country, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamad said yesterday, 16 May

According to Nur Jazlan, the Immigration Department has the power to bar anyone under the Immigration Act and the government is not compelled to explain why someone is blacklisted. "We have the power to bar anyone from leaving the country. It’s the power given to the Immigration; we don’t need to explain why," he was quoted as saying by Malay Mail Online.He also mentioned that the Immigration Department is under the purview of the Home Ministry.

The Pulai MP further explained that the law applies to all citizens

"Yes (they don't need to explain), strictly from the legal interpretation. Every citizen is given the right to a passport, so the passport can be revoked by the government," he reportedly told The Star Online. He added that Malaysians can be included into the travel blacklist for various reasons, including having outstanding debts to the bank or for committing offences.

Nur Jazlan's comment came after Maria Chin Abdullah's travel ban, where the electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0 chairman was barred from leaving the country on Sunday, 15 May

Maria was scheduled to receive the Gwangju Prize Human Rights Award in South Korea on Bersih's behalf but she was stopped at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Maria said the immigration officers merely said the order (to prohibit her from travelling abroad) came from Putrajaya. Nur Jazlan refused to elaborate on the government's action to disallow Maria from travelling overseas.

With all the late postal ballot paper hoo-has, one Malaysian postal voter was determined to make her vote count and did the most unconventional and shameless thing

Image via Kristina Mariswamy/Facebook

In a Facebook post, she shared that she had literally just received her postal ballot paper at noon on Monday, 7 May in Houston, Texas

As elections are only a few hours away, she felt like there was no way that she could send her vote back to Malaysia in time.At 5pm that same day however, she received a text message from a fellow Malaysian, whom she did not know personally, asking her if she was trying to send her ballot paper home.She shared that the person suggested for her to head to the airport to try and catch passengers who were boarding the 1am flight to Kuala Lumpur via Taipei.

In a desperate attempt to race against time, she rushed to the airport, and held up signs asking passengers if they were heading back to Malaysia and if they were able to bring her ballot paper back on behalf of her

Image via Kristina Mariswamy/Facebook

Lo and behold, she met a Malaysian pilot who was heading home to vote as well, and he said 'Yes' to delivering her vote back!

[NEW UPDATE] Nigella Strangled by Husband: Judge Took Only 70 Seconds

Nigella and Charles are one step closer to officially getting divorced

In a hearing at London's High Court which lasted less than a minute, District Judge Anne Aitken granted the couple a decree nisi - the first legal step to ending their 10-year marriage.
A decree nisi is a statement saying the court sees no reason why a divorce cannot be granted.

        express.co.uk

Court papers show that Lawson petitioned for divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour, which, according to the documents, was continuing. The paperwork also reveals that an "order for financial relief" between the parties has been approved

        theguardian.com

Saatchi, who is said to be worth over £100m, agreed to accept a police caution for assault after the picture came to light.
It is understood no money will change hands between the couple as they finalise the end of their marriage of 10 years.

Charles Saatchi says he is divorcing Nigella Lawson

ART collector Charles Saatchi says he is divorcing his wife, the television chef Nigella Lawson. It follows the publication of photographs which showed him with his hands around her throat at a London restaurant in June.

        malaysiandigest.com

Mr Saatchi, 70, who accepted a police caution for assault, told the Mail on Sunday he had "clearly been a disappointment" to his wife. He said it was a "heartbreaking" decision for him.

        bbc.co.uk

"I feel that I have clearly been a disappointment to Nigella during the last year or so, and I am disappointed that she was advised to make no public comment to explain that I abhor violence of any kind against women, and have never abused her physically in any way," he said.

        usmagazine.com

"This is heartbreaking for both of us as our love was very deep, but in the last year we have become estranged and drifted apart. The row photographed at Scott's restaurant could equally have been Nigella grasping my neck to hold my attention -- as indeed she has done in the past."

        usmagazine.com

Ms Lawson, who has already moved out of the family's Chelsea home with her son Bruno, 17, declined to comment, even though her husband has repeatedly made statements to the Evening Standard newspaper, where he works as a columnist, to try to defend his actions as part of a "playful tiff".

Nigella Lawson choked, and nose tweaked by husband

53-year-old celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson, was spotted at a London restaurant with her husband, dining at Scott's in Mayfair restaurant, when they entered a heated argument.

        yahoo.com

The millionaire was later seen choking and squeezing Nigella's neck. Her eyes are transfixed as she struggles to prise away the powerful hand squeezing around her throat.

        mirror.co.uk

Saatchi launched a tirade of angry words. Four times he grasped her around the neck with Nigella looking powerless and petrified. At first he used only his left hand, then both.

        telegraph.co.uk

At one stage he tweaked her nose then pushed both hands in her face. Twice Nigella jerked her head backwards as if in fear. Several times she nodded intently while the conversation became more and more heated.

        dailylife.com.au

Nigella then downed her glass of red wine in one gulp and began to talk, her voice trembling. She seemed to be trying to pacify her husband, placing a hand on his left wrist as it lay on the table. At that moment she leaned over and kissed his right cheek.
