Datuks Who Don't Attend Hari Hol Will Lose Datukship, Says Sultan Of Johor

Datuks of Johor, the Sultan has spoken. Those who fail to show up to Hari Hol celebrations risk having their Datukship titles revoked by the Sultan of Johor himself.

Image via The Straits Times

Speaking at an event in conjunction with the 51st anniversary of the Special Forces Regiment at Iskandar Camp, Sultan Ibrahim cautioned that datuks who do not attend Hari Hol will lose the titles conferred on them by his late father.

For context, Hari Hol is observed to mark the late Sultan Iskandar's passing

A public holiday in Johor, Hari Hol will be celebrated on 6 November this year. Celebrations involve tahlil (prayers) and a visit to the mausoleum of Almarhum Sultan Iskandar ibni Sultan Ismail.

Hence, the incumbent Sultan deems it disrespectful when Datuks are absent from the celebrations, as it implies that they do not care about spending time in remembrance of his father nor grateful for the title bestowed upon them

Image via Kemahkotaan Johor Blogspot

Sultan Ibrahim also remarked that it would be better if the Datukship awarded to them be destroyed or returned respectfully, as in the manner they received it. "If not, I will announce the name of the recipient whose title has been retracted, regardless of whether he is a minister, general or former general. Action will be taken against recipients who fail to attend," he said.

Do you think the Datuks of Johor deserve to be stripped of their titles if they do not show up for Hari Hol celebrations? Let us know in the comments below!

Up to 1,200 individuals are awarded a Datukship title annually. The question is, how exactly do you become a Datuk?

Johor Sultan Cuts Ties With Jakim After Chiding It For Hiring A 'Brainless' Preacher

Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has issued a decree forbidding the Johor Islamic Religious Department (JAIJ) from having any dealings with the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim)

Image via Royal Press Office

The decree was issued after a religious speaker of Jakim criticised the Johor Sultan for barring a Muslim-only launderette in the state

The religious preacher, Zamihan Mat Zin, had defied the Johor Sultan's decree against a Muslim-only launderette in Muar, making an allegedly disparaging speech against the Sultan and Islamic scholars in a video recording uploaded on YouTube on 9 October."There was a sultan who had said Muslim-friendly launderettes are not allowed in his state. It is not right for the sultan to say such things," Zamihan had said in the YouTube video, adding that Chinese people were unhygienic and should patronise "normal" launderettes, according to a report in The Straits Times.Following which, a Sedition probe was initiated against Zamihan and he was arrested on Wednesday, 12 October. The religious preacher was released on Saturday after a magistrate did not approve the police application for an extension of his remand.

The Johor Sultan, who described Zamihan as an empty vessel and brainless, decreed that Jakim was no longer welcome to advise the state on Islamic affairs as religion fell under state jurisdiction

"Several muftis and Islamic scholars have given their views on the issue of the launderette in Muar. Unfortunately, Zamihan has criticised me and undermined the views of the mufti and scholars," the Sultan said in his speech at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia’s 17th convocation ceremony, yesterday, 14 October."The way he said it was arrogant of him as if he is the only person who is right. He mocked other races and after being lambasted by the public, he denied his actions."It seems that this ustaz is good at lying. So, how are we supposed to learn anything from him?" the Sultan said, adding that while he is willing to listen to other people’s views on religious matters of the state, he cannot listen to those who are rude."If it is true that he is a Jakim officer, then I don't know where the department found him because, for me, he is like an empty can and brainless."After this, I have directed JAIJ not to waste time dealing with Jakim, and Jakim, in turn, does not need to give any views to Johor," the Sultan added.

Sultan Ibrahim also said that if the people followed the preacher's mentality it would only result in negative environment, wrongly portraying Muslim life as "extreme, intolerant and unjust"

To make his point against the practices of having "Muslim-only" things, the ruler cited currency notes as an example, saying money was handled by everyone, including those who would be considered ritually unclean in Islam."The same money may have been touched by pork butchers, bartenders and may even have come into contact with heavy filth. Must the government then come up with "Muslim-friendly" notes? Think, ladies and gentlemen," the ruler said.

Earlier today, 8 September, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) took to their official Facebook page to acknowledge an incident that took place at one of the company's cinema halls in Mid Valley Megamall

In the incident, a couple were bitten by mites while they were watching The Nun at GSC Mid Valley Megamall, leaving them with swollen arms and itchiness all over.They had posted their horrible experience on Facebook, which was widely shared across the platform local media picking it up. The post received over 7.7K shares.According to the post, which was written by the girlfriend Pei En, the couple were bitten in the middle of the movie when the boyfriend felt itchiness on his lower back.

Image via Pei En

"At first, we didn't really pay much attention to it because we thought it might be just a mosquito bite until I began to feel itchy and start scratching my hand as well."So, my boyfriend turned on flashlight with his phone and we saw part of my hand is swelling. He was trying to find out what has caused the itchiness and he flipped the fabric on the seat that we were sitting and he saw few mites were moving around," read the Facebook post by Pei En, who also uploaded photos of the bites.

Image via Pei En

Following the viral post by Pei En, who was watching the movie with her boyfriend, GSCinemas updated their patrons on the incident

GSCinemas added that they have taken immediate remedial action to engage in pest control services for its cinemas following the incident."Other immediate remedial steps were to engage pest control services to clean all seats inside the hall. A special treatment was carried out in the affected hall last night, and a special check will be done on the rest of the halls. We will also continue to monitor the situation closely," read the statement posted on its Facebook page on Saturday.

All GSC halls are treated for pests on a monthly basis

While apologising to the couple, Pei En and Damien "for their poor experience while watching a movie at our cinemas", the company said that "it is always in our best intention to provide positive and enriching cinema experiences".

Apple's Future iPhones, iPads And Other Devices Could Be Completely Transparent

On 7 July 2014, Apple was granted a patent for building devices with all-glass outer casings by fusing pieces together for a completely seamless final look

A smartphone/tablet concept by Andrew Solesbury
Image via funkyspacemonkey.com

The all-glass device casings could be used to hold the internals of an iOS device or to house a TV or monitor, too

Image via wordpress.com

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded Apple U.S. Patent No. 8,773,848 for "Fused glass device housings," which describes a method of fusing glass structures together to encapsulate the internal circuitry of an iOS device, and that of larger electronics like monitors and televisions.

        appleinsider.com

All-glass structures can be heavy, especially if the material is layered to protect against scratches and other accidental damages. Apple proposes a new method that ensures durability, a lightweight design and eye-pleasing aesthetics.

Image via appleinsider.com

In the patent application brought to light by AppleInsider's Mikey Campbell, Apple notes that sufficiently strong all-glass structures would "make the device heavy and bulky." Therefore, to ensure the device stays robust but also light, the company's patent for "fused glass device housings" suggests "multiple glass pieces that are joined using a glass fusing process."

        techcrunch.com

Basically, the fusing process involves merging the pieces of planar and peripheral glass to form a thick material that can be pounded into any kind of desired shape. In the patent application, Apple mentions "cellular telephones, handheld computers, and portable music players."

        businessinsider.in

For example, the illustration below shows a media player with rounded edges and flexible display

Image via appleinsider.com

To bolster the casing's structural integrity, raised glass features can be fused to the planar member at weak points in the build

Image via appleinsider.com

Examples include the addition of glass structures around holes or openings in the glass member, as well as internal support ribs placed that reduce flexing and breakage. Cutouts in the glass surface can serve as holes for buttons and other physical device controls.

        appleinsider.com

In some embodiments, glass members are fused together to create a five-sided box in which displays, circuitry and other internal components can be inserted, or "slid into place." This is especially crucial for larger applications like televisions or monitors that are mounted on stands.

        iclarified.com

Image via appleinsider.com

The back portion — side opposite that of the display — can be tinted a translucent color or made opaque to hide unsightly batteries, chips and flex cables, though Apple leaves an option to keep all sides transparent. Portions of planar glass members may be "roughened" to help scatter and diffuse light around display edges. Once the internals are inserted, an end cap is placed over the opening to seal off the structure from debris and other contaminants.

        appleinsider.com

Unlike the iPhone 4, which featured front and back glass panels, the patent would allow Apple to build completely glass-encased gadgets. It would allow for a completely different aesthetic versus other gadget-maker's designs.

A concept design
Image via mobilewebstudio.net

An all-glass Retina Cinema Display would certainly stand out from the crowd in terms of monitors, and an all-glass iPhone would definitely draw even more headlines than usual.

        techcrunch.com

Of course, glass is still subject to impact damage and other potential pitfalls. And as with many of its other patents, Apple may simply have experimented with the tech but then moved on to something else (like sapphire glass construction, for instance), but the patent does cite Apple SVP Jony Ive as one of its main inventors.

        businessinsider.in

Flat glass slabs are a staple of sci-fi TV and movies, after all, so maybe Apple wants to help usher that future into production.

[VIDEO] Cikgu Cop Anak 'Speech Delay' Sebab Mak Malas, Wanita Ini Tampil Beri Luahan Hati

Baru-baru ini, tular sebuah video Cikgu Ayu yang mengatakan mak malas punca anak speech delay ini mendapat kecaman ramai

Cikgu tersebut ingin mengupas isu viral yang melibatkan seorang anak kecil direject oleh tadika disebabkan kencing di sekolah. Cikgu itu berpendapat bahawa perkara itu adalah salah kedua-dua pihak. Dia menyalahkan pihak guru kerana guru sepatutnya membuat pemerhatian selama seminggu sesi persekolahan mula. Namun begitu, pada akhir video, dia dilihat marah dan menyalahi pihak ibu kerana tidak menyiapsediakan anak-anak ke sekolah. Cikgu Ayu berpendapat bahawa anak-anak sepatutnya sudah pandai menguruskan diri semasa masuk tadika. Lihat video penuh itu di bawah:

Cikgu tadika yang kononnya savage. Kids dunno anything, kadang depa takut dengan cikgu/strangers. pic.twitter.com/NvSIhS9xoD— B bie (bibie) (@twtbiy) April 21, 2022

Perkara tersebut turut membuat netizen berang sehingga salah seorang ibu tampil membuat luahan

Salah seorang wanita tampil membuat keluhan terhadap apa yang disampaikan CIkgu Ayu. Wanita tersebut menjelaskan bahawa dia rasa tidak adil jika cikgu membuat spekulasi tentang mak malas secara semberono. Menurut wanita itu yang mempunyai dua orang anak istimewa, dia berkata memang banyak cabaran dan dugaan untuk menjaga dan menyiapsediakan anak-anak ke sekolah. Tambahan lagi, jika anak itu merupakan anak istimewa seperti mild autisme dan sebagainya. Dia meluahkan supaya cikgu di luar sana faham bahawa ibu bapa juga berusaha yang terbaik untuk anak-anak mereka. Jangan pukul rata label semua mak malas. Lihat video sambungan itu di bawah:

Cikgu tampil beri penjelasan dan meminta maaf

Apa yang salahnya cikgu tu cakap? Betullah. It is the truth that parents should teach their kids basic skills.—   (@flitz_please) April 21, 2022

Kritikan adalah satu satu deadly habits yang destructive. Kenapa? Sebab walaupun kritik tersebut cakap benda yang betul, tapi kita rasa ‘power’ kita terjejas, kita rasa macam bodoh tak reti apa, yang buatkan kita takmau terima kritikan/ nasihat tu.— Tuan Ayie Ibn Samsuri (@Ayie_Samsuri) April 22, 2022

geraaam je tengok mulut dengan mata dia. sorry lah kita annoying orang gini, loud high pitch high tones. — nomnomnom (@heiapeni) April 21, 2022

Nasihat yg bagus. Ada yg harap cikgu ni tegur secara professional, tapi itulah. Itu TikTok kot. Nak expect apa. Kalau google meet mesyuarat bersama persatuan ibubapa atau Hari Audit Akademik atau apa2 event rasmi semestinya akan professional dalam memberikan teguran kpd murid2.— Fitri (@fitriazmann) April 22, 2022

- "mak, janganlah tengking, cuba ckp baik2,.." hahhaa memang kena baling tupperware la jawabnya  this is REALITY OF PARENTS zaman moden. These teachers sabar da lama i think. Parents pulak serah jaga anak dorg bulat2 pada cikgu. Tak boleh camtu. — Tengku Jooh (@xnx_xhmxd) April 22, 2022

X semua perkembangan anak2 tu sama sis..kite xtau ape yg mak bpk lalui utk didik anak2 dirumah. Ckp jgn main lepas aje.. xtau bdak tu autism ke dyslexia ke atau normal— Nadia Zakaria (@Anne_nedys) April 23, 2022

Wild Elephant Spotted Enjoying A Dip At A Lake In Terengganu

First, there were orcas. Then, there was a tiger and a sun bear.
Now, a wild elephant has appeared to take a swim at a lake in Terengganu.

Image via Mohd Sukrillah/Facebook

A four-minute video of the incident was shared by Mohd Suwardi Muhammad Azmi, who was on a fishing trip when he saw the large creature casually swimming in Tasik Kenyir, Terengganu.His friend Mohd Sukrillah took the video, which has since received over 66,000 views and 1,000 Facebook shares.

The elephant can be seen using its trunk to breathe above the waters

Image via Mohd Sukrillah/Facebook

It then climbed out of the lake and gave a quick pose for the camera before disappearing into the forest.

Image via Mohd Sukrillah/Facebook

This is the fourth time he has seen elephants in those waters

Since he started fishing activities back in 2004, Mohd Suwardi told Bernama that he has spotted several elephants taking dips in the lake."I did not expect the video to receive so much attention. Maybe it's because many do not know that elephants can swim," he shared with the news portal.However, he was glad that he spotted the elephant at the lake because it meant that the mammal still viewed it as a habitat.

Watch the full video below:

Ada orang tak berapa percaya bila ambe cerita gajah boleh berenang dari pulau ke pulau dalam tasik kenyir.
Ini buktinya.video ni diambil Mohd Sukrillah petang kemarin.

According to Bernama, the new goal is more than double the initial cumulative target recipients of 13,500 OKUs set by the non-governmental organisation (NGO).OKU Sentral chairperson Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba has requested the PPV to expand its capacity.The announcement comes after Adham visited the facility, situated at Sime Darby Plantation's headquarters, yesterday, 17 June."We are pleased to announce that the minister has conveyed to us that he is happy with our ability to follow SOPs (standard operating procedures) as well as our ability to roll out an immunisation programme for the OKU," Ras Adiba said.

Following the health minister's request, Ras Adiba announced that the PPV will look into increasing its capacity to 400 people daily

Ras Adiba added that raising the allocation for vaccination at the OKU Sentral drive-through PPV showed the government's enduring commitment to the OKU community in the country.This is especially important for those in the community who have been heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The OKU Sentral drive-through PPV welcomed its first batch of vaccine recipients on 16 June. Since then, it has been able to administer 80 vaccines daily.

Beginning Monday, 21 June, it will increase its capacity to administer vaccines to 160 to 200 people per day for the next five months.The initiative is spearheaded by the NGO in partnership with Sime Darby Plantation.The current vaccine recipients come from the registrations received by OKU Sentral.Among those registrations, 13,500 OKUs will receive their vaccination appointments through the MySejahtera application.

Previously, OKUs and their carers were required to register for the vaccines through an OKU Sentral Google form

However, the Google form has reportedly closed for the current round of vaccinations and will be reopened soon.This is to accommodate the new target of administering 40,000 vaccines in the next five months of the programme.According to an official joint statement by OKU Sentral and Sime Darby Plantation, the five-month long drive-through PPV is financially sponsored by Yayasan Sime Darby.The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) has also given its support to the initiative.

Remember to limit your movement and keep practising physical distancing. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

Earlier this week, a Civil Defence Force (APM) officer was praised for helping an OKU man by registering him as her dependent on MySejahtera in order to get vaccinated:

HK Test Finds Popular Plastic Spatulas Release Cancer-Causing Substances In Certain Foods

The Consumer Council in Hong Kong found many 'heat resistant' plastic spatulas will melt and release toxins that can cause cancer when used in cooking

According to its press release published yesterday, 14 May, the consumer watchdog tested a total of 17 spatulas of various brands and found that half of them had overall residue migration exceeding the European Union (EU) limit.One model - produced by JMJ and manufactured in China - melted and deformed within 60 seconds in an oil boiling test, failing to withstand the heat of 220°C as claimed on its packaging. The product is available for sale in Malaysia on online sites, such as ezbuy.

Five other spatulas left cancer-causing substances on food samples

When used in cooking sour food or food with alcohol, the council highlighted that five spatulas failed to meet the standards set by the EU on the migration of primary aromatic amines (PAA), a carcinogen that can cause bladder and breast tumours.HK01 reported the spatulas are from these brands:- Ideale Chef- Circulon- EZ Cook- Tefal- Chef's FavorThe Ideale Chef model blistered after an oil boiling test and recorded the highest migration content, exceeding the EU standard by 11 times with a PAA reading as high as 9.7mg/kg.The product is sold across Asia at about RM38 each and is produced by China-based Main Plan Limited.

Daiso and IKEA models showed better performance results

The RM6.70 priced Daiso model changed colour slightly after a 15-minute boil in oil, while the RM14 priced IKEA spatula performed the best among other brands.However, two models from Suncraft and GastroMax - made in Northern Europe and Japan respectively - became slightly deformed after the tests. The spatulas can be easily found in Malaysia on sites such as Shopee and Fishpond, selling between RM15 and RM67.

The consumer watchdog advised the public to use wooden or bamboo spatulas instead when deep frying or for use in prolonged heat

Its chief executive Gilly Wong Fung-han said the best practice is to minimise the time of spatulas being exposes to high temperatures, reported SCMP."We can try not to leave spatulas in a hot pot when cooking to avoid deformation," she said.Wong added that consumers should always check the surface of spatulas and replace them if they find sharp edges or spikes.

While the results have come as a shock to many, one company questioned the Consumer Council's method of testing

Nordic producer GastroMax said spatulas were not supposed to be used in boiling oil for 15 minutes.Ideale Chef refuted the consumer watchdog's findings by supplying an independent testing report to show its products had met US standards.SCMP reached out to JMJ, but the company could not be reached for a response.

Taobao hopes to do just that by diversifying its market and including those who are not familiar with shopping online."When people shop on Taobao, they often have a lot of questions about the product and its quality... With the physical store, they can touch and feel the product and know exactly how to operate it," Tmall World Malaysia marketing manager Jess Lew said, according to Malay Mail.

Spanning at 5,000 square feet, the retail space will sell a large collection of Taobao products, including homegrown brands

Teresa Kok Pokes Fun At Msia's Love For The Number 1 In Latest CNY Satire Video

Last Chinese New Year, Teresa Kok was investigated for sedition, threatened to be slapped, her office was attacked with red paint, dead chicken and ducks were left for her, and she was cursed with black magic, all because of her 'Onederful Malaysia' CNY video

Image via wordpress.com

That did not stop the DAP Seputeh MP from continuing with her tradition of producing satirical videos on Malaysian politics

Image via 1goatyear 1greatyear

While last year's video brazenly ridiculed the price hikes and violent crimes, this year's video, '1Goat Year 1 Great Family' took a more subtle approach

Image via 1goatyear 1greatyear

Besides PKR politicians including Teresa Kok, Nurul Izzah, Khalid Samad, and Hew Kuan Yew, the video also featured Pak Samad and Cynthia Gabriel from Suaram

Image via 1goatyear 1greatyear

Local actress Lim Ching Miau made a comeback from last year's video, portraying the same character reminiscent of Rosmah. This time, they were quick to assert that the character is not the First Lady.

Image via 1goatyear 1greatyear

The video is set in a home where the gang discusses organising a big family dinner for Malaysians, all the while highlighting the country's penchant for the number 1

Image via 1goatyear 1greatyear

Current events including overflowing water, being kept up by mat rempits, golfing in Hawaii, and shopping in Thailand were also mentioned tongue-in-cheek

Image via 1goatyear 1greatyear

The gang invited all Malaysians to join a reunion dinner on 12 February 2015 by sending in an application. The '1 Goat Year 1 Great Family' FB page has since been filled with Malaysians asking for an invitate.

Image via imgur.com

Prior to the video launch, the Facebook page was also seen posting cheeky teasers taking a jibe at Malaysia's many "1" endeavours

The video that was published on Facebook on 1 February has received over a thousand shares in 24 hours. On YouTube, the video has gathered over 60,000 views in three days. Full video:

Is Pig Gelatine Halal To Consume? Here's What Islamic Scholars Say

So, What Do The Muslim Scholars Have To Say About This?

According To Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, Any Gelatine Or Pig Product Which Has Been Transformed Into Something Different Is Considered As Halal

Yusuf Al-Qaradawi.
Image via biyokulule.com

Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a world renowned scholar argued that such food is halal as gelatine is a pig product which has been transformed into something different.

        malaysiakini.com

In his website, Qaradawi said that when something which is deemed “dirty” is transformed into something “clean” - like pig products transformed into soap or gelatine - it is halal.

        negarakita.com

The View By Qaradawi, Who Heads The International Union Of Muslim Scholars, Is Supported By Former Perlis Mufti, Dr. Asri Zainul Abidin. The Transformation Process Is Known As Istihalah.

Istihalah is the transformation of the natural characteristics of a forbidden substance into another substance with a different name, properties or characteristics.

        astroawani.com

Former Perlis Mufti, Dr. Asri Zainul Abidin.

“When something unclean has gone through a process and has lost its original characteristics it would not be judged through its original nature because it has truly changed,” he said, adding that the substance should be judged through its new characteristics.

        astroawani.com

"Simply explained; the changing in nature of a substance having gone through this particular process is referred to as istihalah,” he added.

        astroawani.com

However, The View Received A Backlash From Ustaz Kazim Elias Who Claimed That Anything Which Has Connection To Pigs Will Forever Be Haram

Ustaz Kazim Elias.
Image via blogspot.com

“All four religious sects uphold to the fact that anything which has connection to pigs can’t be eaten as everything that goes into our body will be part of us."

        mynewshub.my

“If the food is haram, hell is the place for us and if the food is halal then heaven is the place for us,” he said.

        mynewshub.my

The Matter Was Then Further Explained By Dr. Asri Zainul Abidin, Adding With Some Examples

“Qaradawi, the European Fatwa Council and the Medical Fiqh Conference in Morocco in 1997 and others know that pigs are haram to consume, but what we are debating is when pig matter is transformed..."

        malaysiakini.com

"Bananas are halal. It does mean that a banana is unclean because the fertilizer was unclean," explained Dr. Asri.
Image via freemalaysiatoday.com

“The issue is not whether to eat a piece of fried pork or pork soup, but to eat chocolates or biscuits with traces of pig DNA due to ingredients of pig origin, which chemical nature has changed."

        negarakita.com

"Bananas are halal. It does mean that a banana is unclean because the fertilizer was unclean," explained Dr. Asri.

        astroawani.com

He added that the same can be said for Muslims in Singapore who drink New Water, which is water processed from sewerage - that is considered halal because it has been purified.

        malaysiakini.com

Meanwhile, Ustaz Zamihan Mat Zin Had Urged Action Against “Individuals Who Often Cause Controversy By Issuing Deviant Fatwas” Which Cause Muslims “Distress”

“We hope that scholars in this country stop acting smart and issuing statements that confuse Muslims. Things that are clearly haram should never be made halal."

        malaysiakini.com

Ustaz Zamihan Mat Zin.
Image via imgur.com

“According to scientists, pig matter does not change and cannot be cleansed using acid, hydrolysis or even sterilisation at high temperatures."

        negarakita.com

“Even if the matter changes, its status as filth remains until the end of the world,” he said, urging Muslims to trust the Islamic Development Department (JAKIM)'s halal certification.

Nazri Says He'll Still Be Friends With Anwar Even If He Doesn't Become Prime Minister

After being "serious" about campaigning for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the Port Dickson by-election, UMNO leader Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz reiterated his support and friendship with the PKR president-elect today, 22 October

"I support Anwar Ibrahim. I've always supported Anwar Ibrahim," Nazri told reporters at Parliament earlier today. "If he becomes the prime minister or not, I support him. I've always been his friend," the UMNO leader was quoted as saying by Malay Mail.

Nazri claimed that he had the incoming prime minister's back even when Anwar went through "hardship"

Image via Malaysiakini

"As I've said, when he went through hardship, I still supported him even though at the time, I was a minister and I didn't leave UMNO," the Padang Rengas Member of Parliament (MP) said. To further cement his point, Nazri also claimed that he had attended the wedding of Anwar's daughter, Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah.

The UMNO leader added that "nothing is impossible" in Malaysian politics

The Malaysian Insight reported that when asked about the possibility of a unity government between UMNO and PKR, Nazri said that a lot of unexpected events have happened."The politics in Malaysia is very fluid. It is dynamic and is moving all the time," the Padang Rengas MP said, without further elaboration.

Last month, Nazri expressed his "serious" intention to campaign for Anwar in the Port Dickson by-election:

                Nazri Is "Serious" About Campaigning For Anwar To Help UMNO Take Back Putrajaya

He added that he is ready to face disciplinary action from UMNO for his stance.

All That You Should Know About Mark Zuckerberg's Plan To Build Himself An AI

Mark Zuckerberg is planning to build himself an AI (Artificial Intelligence) in 2016, the Facebook founder wrote in a status update, saying that he had set himself the goal as a challenge for the new year. His plan is to build a "simple" AI which would help run his house and his work – "kind of like Jarvis out of Iron Man".

×

It will assist him, his wife, and daughter Max. He wrote:

"I'm going to start by exploring what technology is already out there. Then I'll start teaching it to understand my voice to control everything in our home -- music, lights, temperature and so on. I'll teach it to let friends in by looking at their faces when they ring the doorbell. I'll teach it to let me know if anything is going on in Max's room that I need to check on when I'm not with her."

        facebook.com

His announcement comes as Facebook is in the midst of AI initiatives such as building an assistant through its Messenger app.
While he didn't describe how exactly the AI would work or how he would build it, it seems that it will revolve around video cameras that can monitor and recognise important changes in the environment, and faces in particular. Among its future tasks:

    Recognize the faces of friends at the door to let them in.- Watch and recognize for any changes in the room of Zuckerberg’s infant daughter.- Use facial recognition to set the temperature of a room based on a person’s personal preference. Mark points out that he prefers rooms colder than his wife does.

        forbes.com

Image via Gizmodo

What about the technology required to build such a thing? Well, as Mark noted on his post, a lot of the technology already exists. For example, voice recognition software is already widely available.

Existing home-automation tools from companies such as Google’s Nest, Phillips and Samsung all allow a fairly high level of control of a “smart home”, and can be paired with voice control software, including that from Apple, Amazon and Massachusetts-based specialists Nuance.

        theguardian.com

So is the software for recognising faces

Image via Facebook / DeepFace

In fact, Facebook has been leading the way on that front.It claims that it has software which can correctly identify human faces 97.25% of the time – humans can only manage slightly better, at 97.53%.So when Zuckerberg says “I’ll teach it to let friends in by looking at their faces when they ring the doorbell,” he knows he can do that with existing technology.

        buzzfeed.com

Moreover, the home automation system that the Facebook founder envisions isn't that far off already being a reality, the Guardian notes

In September, Samsung launched a hub for its SmartThings connected home system which lets users tie together a disparate collection of sensors in their house into a connected “internet of things”. Heating can talk to the door to turn on when you come home, lights can connect to the security camera to turn on if an intruder is detected, and a sleep sensor can dim the lights in the rest of the house once everyone in the building is asleep.Amazon has also pushed its way into the same area, with its Alexa voice control system. Built into the Echo, a combined speaker and microphone which is designed to sit in the middle of the living room, it continuously listens for commands. It can be told to control music, share information like the weather or sporting fixtures, and control simple internet of things devices in its own right. Naturally, being Amazon, it can also buy things for you in seconds.

This Exfoliating Toner Can Help You Get Glowy Skin Without Breaking The Bank

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

Don't you just love the glow your skin gets each time you pay a visit to your beautician? <3

Image via Raphael Lovaski (Unsplash)

If you're a skin enthusiast, chances are, you've probably called up your go-to skin clinic for a facial treatment before attending a last-minute fancy event or wedding, hehe.As technology evolves day by day, so do skincare treatments like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, acne blue light therapy, and more, all of which help to achieve radiant skin. The only thing is that clinical treatments often take time and can be costly.  But it's not the only way to give your skin a glow-up! In case you're not caught up with the trend, there's a specific ingredient in the market that is known to give you glowy skin without breaking the bank.

It's none other than glycolic acid! :D
If you don't know where to start with this amazing ingredient, fret not. L'Oréal Paris has got you covered from the A to Zs of glycolic acid with their products.

Image via Sarah Chai (Pexels)

Most of us tend to skip one important step in our skincare routines — toning. Toners help to create a base for our skin barrier so that the ingredients and products we use after it are easily absorbed into the skin.Glycolic acid does exactly that, where it exfoliates dead skin cells and reveals a new, brighter layer of skin underneath. Due to the simple and small properties of glycolic acid, it's easier for the ingredient to penetrate the skin too.Apart from exfoliating the skin, this mighty ingredient can also help reduce dullness and dark spots, as well as smooth out rough skin texture.Glycolic acid is actually extracted from sugar cane and is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It's also known to have a smaller molecular weight compared to other AHAs, which gives it the advantage of penetrating deeper into your skin. This is how it helps stimulate collagen production for youthful-looking skin. Luckily for you, L'Oréal Paris has got a whole line of skincare products, from a cleanser to night gel cream, that are formulated with glycolic acid, so you can make full use of this ingredient's goodness.

With the new Glycolic-Bright Glowing Peeling Toner from L'Oréal Paris, you can achieve instant glow and smooth skin in just 30 seconds*

Image via L'Oréal Paris (Provided to SAYS)

The L'Oréal Paris Glycolic-Bright Glowing Peeling Toner is powerful thanks to its 5% glycolic acid content that exfoliates and provides a glowing finish in just 30 seconds*. The clinic-inspired toner is safe to use every day and is made for all Asian skin types. Over time, it will help reduce dark spots on your skin, as well as even out your skin tone.It's super convenient and easy to use as well. Soak a cotton pad with the toner and swipe it across your face, carefully avoiding your eyes. Once you apply it, you'll see visibly smoother and more radiant skin in just 30 seconds*.  You'll be able to use the toner during the day and night, but it is recommended that you use sunscreen on top of it during the day. *Based on a clinical test done by L'Oréal Paris on 64 subjects.*Tested and proven on Asian skin tones.

Pairing the Glycolic-Bright Glowing Peeling Toner with L'Oréal Paris' Glycolic-Bright 1% Glycolic Acid Serum will work wonders for your skin

Image via L'Oréal Paris (Provided to SAYS)

What's great about this serum is that it is said to reduce 57% of dark spots on your skin in just four weeks**. Wow! :O Although the serum is powerful, the 1% concentration is gentle on the skin and suitable for daily use. After using the peeling toner, applying the serum directly on top will help the product penetrate the skin and reveal brighter skin, which gives you a glow.All you have to do is apply a few drops of the serum on your fingertips or directly on your face and pat it in for better absorption. Remember to use it before applying your moisturiser.**Based on a clinical test done by L'Oréal Paris on the contrast of spots after 28 days on 79 subjects.**Tested and proven on Asian skin tones.

The White Marks On Your Nails Are Not What You Think They Are

Have you ever had white spots on your nails? They look like this:

Image via Wikipedia

Chances are you did and were told that they are a sign of a calcium or zinc deficiency. If not, at least some sort of nutritional deficiency.

Medically, the white spots on nails are called leukonychia, which may sound scary to hear, but it's simply a term to describe the white discoloration appearing on nails.

Those white spots are not caused by a calcium deficiency

White spots can appear on both fingernails and toenails.According to Dr. Jessica Krant, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, "Calcium deficiency causing white spots on nails is the most common myth, followed by zinc deficiency. The truth is that white spots are common and harmless and don't indicate any specific vitamin deficiency at all."

So what's the reason behind the white spots on nails?

These spots are a result of mild to moderate trauma to your nails. For example, nail biting. Our nails are sensitive, and even a slight bump can be "traumatic" for them.Basically, these white spots are nothing to worry about. Also consider the fact that nails grow super slow, and by the time you notice any white spot on your nails, keep in mind that the injury to it is weeks old and the spots didn't appear instantly.

Image via Giphy

And it takes time for the white spots to go, so don't panic

"Whatever the cause, white spots on fingernails are temporary and will grow out as your nails grow. However, it can take more than eight months for nails to grow out completely so the spots may be around for a while," warns Dr. Andrew Weil.

According to the JBPM director, Putrajaya Fire and Rescue team arrived at the scene at 12.23pm after receiving a distress call at about 12.20pm regarding the incident.Following which, it took the team half an hour to carry out the operation to remove the trapped victim.The victim was pronounced dead by the medical team, he said

There have been 11 incidents involving lifts from 2019 until August this year, according to the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH)

A special Bernama report stated that of the 11, six of the cases were in Kuala Lumpur, two in Selangor, and one case each in Sarawak, Penang, and Melaka.A total of 70,005 elevators are registered at DOSH since January to August this year nationwide and out of that number, 6,783 elevators are without  CF, inactive, or faulty," the report said.The Bernama report blamed an apparent lackadaisical attitude of the Joint Management Body (JMB) and the Management Corporation (MC) in appointing unqualified contractors for elevator maintenance as one of the reasons for the never-ending lift breakdowns in the country.

Zaman persekolahan merupakan antara waktu di mana kenangan manis tercipta dan sentiasa akan diingati

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Google

Ketika ini, hampir setiap pelajar akan menghabiskan masa mereka di sekolah. Mana tidaknya, di waktu pagi perlu hadiri sekolah rendah, di waktu petang pula perlu hadiri sekolah agama. Malam pula pasti ramai yang ambil kelas tambahan untuk memastikan mereka faham sepenuhnya dengan apa yang dipelajari di sekolah.Tambahan pula, zaman persekolahan juga membuktikan betapa rapatnya kita dengan rakan-rakan di sekolah. Namun, apa yang menyedihkan adalah setelah selesainya waktu persekolahan buat pelajar tingkatan 5. Lepas habis SPM, semuanya akan pergi mengikut haluan masing-masing.Sedihnya. :(

Kalau tak percaya, boleh lihat klip video pendek ini yang kian viral di laman Twitter @muammarhrs dengan lebih 12 ribu retweets dan 20 ribu likes setakat ini

Dr Malar Santhi Santherasegapan, a medical doctor and social media influencer, was awarded the prestigious Employee of the Year Award at the 2023 Workers' Day celebration at Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), on Monday, 1 May

According to The Star, the Labour Day award and check for RM10,000 was presented to her by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.The Malaysian Indian doctor, who works at the emergency unit in Asia Columbia Hospital in Cheras, Selangor, said the award is a great honour and recognition of her work.

Besides her work at the hospital, the mother of two earned the award for her social media advocacy, where she would share endless information about the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination, and other health related issues

According to Sinar Harian, the Kuantan-born's fluency in Bahasa Melayu (BM) was a catalyst for her gaining many followers on her Instagram account, @celetohdrmalar.Malar, who obtained her Master of Health Administration in Healthcare Management from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), said it's her civic duty to share health-related information with the public."If possible I want to reduce congestion in the hospital by sharing useful health tips with the public," she said.She also told Sinar Harian that she will continue sharing health-related information that is easy to digest on social media.

In an Instagram post, she expressed her gratitude to all the people who helped her get to where she is now

"I thank my mother, father, family members, friends, and all my followers! Without all of you, there wouldn't be a @celotehdrmalar," she said.At the end of the post, Malar dedicated the award to all healthcare workers who struggled during the pandemic until today.

Is This Mum of 3 Too Ripped for Her Own Good?

32-year-old mom Maria Kang drew criticism after she posted this picture on Facebook, prompting one woman to call her 'a shame to women.'

Image via mirror.co.uk

Maria Kang of Sacramento, Calif., shared a glossy shot of herself in ab-revealing workout gear along with her brood of three boys ages three years and under, below the caption "What's your excuse?"

        yahoo.com

She is a TV fitness expert who also owns a residential care home for the elderly. She says:

"I felt that if others can overcome incredible challenges to be in shape, why would my story be any different?"

        osundefender.org

Image via wordpress.com

Kang believes that if she has time to stay in shape, everyone else should, too. To get that message across, Kang posted the photo on her Facebook page.

        huffingtonpost.com

On her personal website, Maria Kang describes herself as a 'wife, mother, business owner and nonprofit founder.'

Image via nydailynews.com

While the photo drew its share of compliments, the implication that other busy mothers have no excuse for not being as taut and toned as Kang was too much for some.

This photo has caused uproar from critical fans, blaming her for trying to embarrass and humiliate overweight moms. Her original post has reached over 16,000 comments on Facebook – with a large majoritiy being negitive.

        ecanadanow.com

One critic wrote: ”I don’t feel this motivates people all that much, it’s sorta just a prideful brag thrown onto Facebook in front of many women’s faces just to tease and mock them.”

        kjrh.com

Commenter Janie Gray said: "Inspiring? This is shaming women and is incredibly offensive. Yeah, maybe if I could afford a personal trainer and a nanny I could have a body like that, but as it is I'm still doughy because I, you know, spend time with my children instead of in a gym."

        mirror.co.uk

Another said: "Shame shame shame. Genetics, circumstances, health, and how about this? It's not your business why someone else looks the way they do.

        hollywoodlife.com

"How dare you shame mothers who have given up and made huge sacrifices for their kids, for not "looking right" to you? How dare you be cruel to women who have gone through everything for their babies?"

        news.com.au

Kang chose not to respond to the backlash until she received a hurtful personal email, she told GoodMorningAmerica.com on Tuesday. She said:

"I'm sorry you took an image and resonated with it in such a negative way. I won't go into details that I struggled with my genetics, had an eating disorder, work full time owning two businesses, have no nanny, am not naturally skinny and do not work as a personal trainer."

        huffingtonpost.com

"I won't even mention how I didn't give into cravings for ice cream, French fries or chocolate while pregnant or use my growing belly as an excuse to be inactive."

        nydailynews.com

"What I will say is this. What you interpret is not my fault. It's yours. The first step in owning your life, your body and your destiny is to own the thoughts that come out of your own head. I didn't create them. You created them."

        ecanadanow.com

"So if you want to continue 'hating' this image, get used to hating many other things for the rest of your life. You can either blame, complain or obtain a new level of thought by challenging the negative words that come out of your own brain."

        mirror.co.uk

"With that said, obesity and those who struggle with health-related diseases is literally a 'bigger' issue than this photo. Maybe it's time we stop tip-toeing around people's feelings and get to the point. So What's Your Excuse?"

        newsfixnow.com

She adds: "For those of you who have legitimate excuses then that’s your excuse! I’m not saying there isn’t one."

        mirror.co.uk

"I’m saying that for the majority of people out there who use multiple kids (or just one), a job, lack of time, lack of support – as an excuse, then maybe you can take my story and my image and use that as a source of inspiration."

        huffingtonpost.com

Her post has generated over 20,000 shares to date, as well as encouragement from some followers.

"Your photo is amazing and a great example of what is possible for anyone. Having kids or not having kids should not be an excuse," one supporter wrote.

        nydailynews.com

"There is no problem in showing people that sexy is possible after having kids," another echoed.

Are You Guilty Of Keeping Any Of These 10 Things That Have Probably Expired?

1. Put your hands up if you have eggs that are 2 months old sitting in your fridge

Keep those hands up if you'll eat them without a doubt. However, eggs actually have a shelf life of 2 to 5 weeks.

Image via Metro

2. Do your toothbrushes look like this?

Replace your toothbrush every 3 months? Pfft, that's for the weak.

Image via smallstepsonourjourney.com

Don't even lie, you start to replace your toothbrush only when the bristles are all frayed and falling out.

3. Apparently, pillows are to be replaced every year. LOL NOPE.

Image via kamsnaps.com

Your old pillow with your favourite heavenly smell can't be replicated! Plus, it has the perfect dip for your head to rest nicely on it.

4. Do you use your loofah till it just... falls apart?

Sponges and natural loofahs start to breed bacteria in just a couple of weeks, whereas plastic mesh ones last a little longer, up to eight weeks.

Image via the-makeup-vanity.blogspot.com

5. Experts say dish sponges are to be replaced every week... WHO EVEN DOES THAT?

Image via theparsimoniousprincess.blogspot.com

Although there are no set rules on this, but a quick search on Google told us that dish sponges should be replaced after a week's use and sanitised every other day by soaking warm water and bleach or popping it in the microwave. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!

6. Forgetting about those credit card points and then realise too late they've expired

Yikes, even credit card points have expiry dates?! Those precious points you collected vanishing into thin air!

Image via nkayesel.com

To make sure you never repeat this mistake again, trust Citibank with your points because they NEVER EXPIRE.

7. Not chucking away those running shoes you've had for years

You might be too reluctant to throw away your expensive kicks but in fact, they should be replaced after every 400km of use, especially for avid runners. For those with less frequent use, you can get away with replacing your workout shoes every six months to a year.

Image via Life Fitness

8. Using that disposable razor way past a couple of shaves, until it's blunt

Image via forums.roro44.net

Well, 'disposable' is already in its name and so it's no surprise that it's designed to normally last for only one or two shaves.

9. If you've wondered why the cockroach won't die from the insecticide...

Insecticide becomes less effective typically two years after the manufacture date.

Image via amcnetworks.com

10. "Eye makeup should be thrown away 6 months after opening"

Image via makeup-pixi3.com

If you wear mascara, we're guessing you have a big confession: your eye makeup is at least two years old...However, bacteria will start to grow in a mascara tube within three months of use and can lead to pinkeye or other infections.

Had enough with all these expiry dates? Forget all your worries with Citibank's Evergreen Miles and Points cause they NEVER expire.

Whether it's a year, 10 years or even longer, you can rest assured that your points are not going anywhere when it comes to Citibank. For more information, click HERE.


Hijrah Itu Mudah, Istiqamah Itu Yang Susah - Pesanan Felixia Buat Uqasha Dan Safiey Ilias

Minggu lalu kita dikejutkan dengan berita keputusan membuka hijab salah seorang selebriti terkenal tanah air. Dan semalam, kita lagi sekali dikejutkan dengan berita jutawan muda yang mengambil keputusan untuk kembali menjadi pondan.

Image via SAYS

Semestinya penghijrahan positif mereka pada awalnya diterima baik ramai. Tetapi tidak tahulah dari mana silapnya, kedua-dua individu ini nampaknya ingin kembali 'berhijrah' menjadi diri mereka yang dulu. Benarlah kata orang, nak berubah itu mungkin mudah tetapi istiqamah itu agak susah.

Setelah isu itu menjadi hangat di semua media tempatan, selebriti Felixia Yeap yang merupakan seorang mualaf tampil memberi pandangan beliau mengenai isu tersebut. Baca pesanan beliau di bawah:

Benarlah bila orang berkata...hijrah itu sebenarnya mudah.Istiqomah itu yang susah.Akhir-akhir ini, kita dikejutkan oleh berita tentang seorang saudari dan seorang saudara kita yang melambai kain putih tanda mengalah di pertengahan jalan penghijrahan mereka.Mengejutkan?Benar, tetapi pada masa yang sama, saya teramat memahami apa yang mereka lalui.Saya turut mengalami perkara yang sama, setiap hari. Tetapi bagi saya, saya cuba lalikan diri saya daripada tohmahan, makian dan sindiran manusia.Bagi saya, banyak lagi perkara yang penting dalam hidup ini untuk dibuat...daripada hanya cuba memuaskan hati dan menutup mulut manusia yang tidak menyumbang kepada penghijrahan kita.Yang hanya tahu mencari kesalahan dan aib kita walaupun kita sedang berusaha menjadi lebih baik.

        facebook.com

Image via denaihati.com

Misalnya, menjaga keluarga kita, mencari rezeki yang halal, membuat kerja amal, melebihkan dan menyempurnakan ibadah, etc etc.Tidak perlu kita terlalu mengambil berat apa yang negatif yang keluar dari manusia yang sentiasa berfikiran dan mengucap yang negatif sahaja.Fokuskan pada yang positif.Fokuskan pada yang membina.Fokuskan pada yang ikhlas.Istiqomah itu terlalu susah, saya tahu.Tetapi hijrah dan Hidayah itu juga teramat mahal dan berharga. Tidak semua dikurniakannya.Saya akui, saya terlalu jauh daripada sempurna dalam penghijrahan saya sendiri, dan iman saya pun seringkali ada turun naiknya.Kadang-kadang bertudung labuh, kadang-kadang berselendang.Kadang-kadang leka, kadang-kadang insaf.Tetapi itulah manusia.

        facebook.com

Namun cubalah sedaya upaya, kekalkan pendirian untuk berhijrah...bukan kerana manusia, tetapi kerana Allah SWT.Kalau tak boleh Hijrah laju-laju, hijrah lah slow slow.Lebih baik perlahan tetapi istiqomah...daripada laju tetapi cepat mengalah.Bagi yang suka menyindir, berburuk sangka, memfitnah dan menghasut orang-orang yang berusaha untuk berhijrah...bertaubatlah. Mulut tu Allah SWT berikan untuk mengucap yang baik-baik sahaja.Biarlah syaitan-syaitan sahaja yang buat kerja mereka tu.Kepada pelakon wanita dan jutawan lelaki itu.Daripada bekas model P*****y ini.Berhijrah demi Allah SWT, kita pasti istiqomah.Berhijrah demi manusia, kita pasti mengalah.
