The Amazing Story Of How Malaysian Convicts Are Making Millions Of Ringgit From Prison

Life behind bars is often seen as a way to punish convicts for the evil things they have done but it also can be seen in a different light, where a person is given a second chance at life

The role of the Malaysian Prisons Department is to act as the professional correctional entity for the country. It serves the society by incarcerating people who are sentenced by the courts, and it is entrusted with the responsibility to carry out its role as the institution of detention and rehabilitation.As Malaysia strives to adopt a holistic approach in ensuring convicts undergo various rehabilitation activities until the day of their release, one particular area that deserves to be commended is the vocational and industrial section.

The public should be paying more attention to the  Malaysian Prisons Department because it's doing some amazing job in providing training for inmates to equip them with vocational skills

Convicts are given a chance and under proper guidance and training, they are equipped with skills that will help them when they return to society after they finish serving their sentences.  Some of the main skills that they are taught include cooking, catering, bakery, frozen food, tailoring, dobby, handicraft, and spa and facial services.Many convicts who undergo the programme would know how to produce food products and other things including songket cloth, batik, furniture, handicraft, metal products, and garments. Some would also be involved in agriculture activities to produce vegetables and fish.

Products made by inmates under this programme is marketed under the brand name 'My Pride'. These items they produced are used in prisons and also marketed outside prisons and made available at various hypermarkets in the Klang Valley.The Prisons Department, in a joint collaboration with the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU), Prime Minister's Department Public Bank Berhad dan Pos Malaysia, launched the online site to sell My Pride products in February this year.The main intention was to make My Pride products more accessible to the public and to save time and simplify the transaction process according to the present era.

But who would have thought that the Prisons Department could generate an impressive amount of revenue from the product sales last year - a staggering RM32 million in total!

According to Home Ministry's Deputy Secretary-General Datuk Wan Ali Besar, the Prisons Department was highly successful in its product sales last year by collecting a total of RM32 million, exceeding the RM30 million mark which was set for 2015. It also surpassed the previous year's record, which was at RM28.8 million in 2014."From the total sale, food products, such as frozen foods recorded the highest collections with RM26.6 million. This shows that food products from the Prisons Department are at par with the products outside as they are of high-quality," prisons director-general Datuk Seri Zulkifli Omar revealed earlier this year.

What's even better is the fact that the Prisons Department shares a part of the income generated with the prison inmates

Back in February, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that the Prisons Department is being made as an income-generating agency, and the government has also shared the income with inmates.  "It is not only for the department to profit from, but also to equip inmate with necessary skills that can be used to continue their life and earn income after being released from prison," he explained, as reported by New Sarawak Tribune."We encourage them to open personal bank accounts so that when they are released, they already have savings to carry on with their lives — this would help prevent a relapse into crime," he was quoted as saying by Borneo Post.

The Prisons Department is on track to hit its 2016 target which is set at RM34 million

A group of women from the Association of Wives of Civil Servants and Women Civil Servants (Puspanita) and Ministry of Human Resources visited the prison gallery in Kajang back in September 2016.

Utusan Malaysia quoted Pahang Prison Director Datuk Abdul Mohamad Basir as saying that the target is achievable given that the value of the product sales revenue has reached RM28.5 million last month. "The inmates have immense skills to produce a product, especially handicrafts. The goods produced by these inmates have also gotten a really positive response from the market," he said.

According to him, more than 8,000 prisoners nationwide have been participating in this vocational training programmes so that they can be independent when they get out of jail

As the authorities play their part in ensuring that these offenders undergo vocational training and education as part of their rehabilitation and in turn, reaped rewards in monetary terms, the ultimate aim is still to reduce the convicts' recidivism (relapse into criminal behaviour) rate.  Many studies have suggested that prisoners are more likely to reintegrate into the community upon release when they are provided with technical skills and undergo courses that improve their communication and organisation skills.Still, society also plays a major role in accepting these ex-convicts into their respective community."People need to understand the ex-cons. Try putting yourself in the ex-cons’ shoes. Has it ever occurred to you why the ex-cons would resort to crime in the first place? Some of them have no other choice but to commit crime, especially when they're in desperate need of money," Jeevan S Ramamurthy, the President for the Kuala Lumpur Social Development, Crime Prevention and Anti-Drug Volunteer Force Organisation (PENCEGAH) pointed out to Malaysian Digest last year when speaking on the topic of life after prison for offenders.


Rosmah Has Been Found Guilty Of All 3 Charges Of Corruption

Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former prime minister and convicted criminal Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has been found guilty of seeking and receiving bribes in exchange for government contracts

Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, while delivering the verdict, said that Rosmah was found guilty on all three counts of graft in her solar hybrid graft trial involving 369 rural schools in Sarawak.Judge Mazlan said the prosecution proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.During the trial, which spanned over 40 days with 23 prosecution witnesses testifying, Rosmah had pleaded not guilty to three charges of soliciting and receiving bribes between 2016 and 2017 to help a company secure a USD279 million (RM1.25 billion) solar power supply project from the government when Najib was in power.

After the verdict, a tearful Rosmah said that she had never taken for herself a single sen in the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid power energy project

"I must admit that I'm very sad with what happened today," she said, adding, "Nobody saw me taking the money, nobody saw me counting the money.... but if that's the conclusion, I leave it to God."

High Court has sentenced Rosmah to 10 years in jail:

                Rosmah Sentenced To 10 Years In Jail & RM970 Million Fine For Bribery

Rosmah, however, is not going to jail just yet as the High Court has allowed the defence's bid to stay the execution ...

Starving Cats Eat Owner's Dead Body

A reclusive woman's body was eaten by her own cats

The body of a reclusive British woman was "gnawed and eaten" by her starving pets after she died, according to a coroner's inquest. By the time British police discovered the body of Janet Veal, she'd apparently been dead for as long as three months.

        huffingtonpost.com

Her house made for a grim scene, littered with the carcasses of numerous pet cats and dogs that had been confined in the house and died of apparent starvation. But then investigators discovered something worse: Veal's remaining cats had survived by feeding on her corpse.

        dailymail.co.uk

It is believed Veal had died from natural causes after suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Her husband is thought to have left her a year before she died.

        ibtimes.co.uk

The post-mortem proved “extremely difficult” due to the extent of decomposition but pathologist Dr Vipul Foria concluded that the death was “possibly” due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

        dailyecho.co.uk

Neighbors described the woman as "reclusive," according to the Independent. According to the Daily Echo, Veal was estranged from her husband, who had left her last year.

        huffingtonpost.com

Coroner says it was a 'distressing experience'

Recording a death from natural causes, coroner Keith Wiseman said: 'These animals had been, the officer thought, confined in these two rooms downstairs for what may well have been a period of many weeks, stretching quite possibly into several months.'

        dailyecho.co.uk

He added: 'This too was a distressing experience because it was clear that certain parts of Mrs Veal’s body were missing and had, the officer formed the view, effectively been gnawed and eaten away by the animals.

        dailymail.co.uk

He added: ‘One can only imagine the difficulty with the scene the officer was having to deal with.’

Chinese Tech Giant Made Its Female Staffs Perform Simulated Oral Sex On Male Colleagues

Tencent, the largest Internet company in Asia, organised a humiliating sexually suggestive game at a division's annual party

The game featured female staffs of the company on their knees, attempting to remove caps from water bottles placed between their male coworkers' thighs.The sexually suggestive game was a simulation of oral sex being performed on stage.

The party was at the instant messaging department of Tencent, which is known for its messaging service WeChat. The company is now facing a major PR crisis after a video was leaked online.

The leaked video, which is just 7 seconds long, was shot by one of the attendees at the party held by the company's instant messaging department before the annual Chinese New Year (CNY) break.In the video, as the two female staffs are seen trying to use their mouth on bottles placed between the legs of their male colleagues, coworkers in the audience can be heard cheering them on.

Tencent has now apologised for the sexist game at its annual party

In the statement, the company said that they have "lapsed in our oversight of the party games, and have caused much inconvenience" and have announced "demerit points" for the employees involved. It's not clear there will be any real punishment, though."We apologise sincerely to our employees, their relatives, and the public for this incident that has resulted in hurt feelings and has had a negative social impact," the statement said, adding, "Although the annual meeting was an internal entertainment event, it must adhere to the values of the company and of society."

But the damage has been done. Users on Weibo —which is owned by Tencent — expressed their disgust with the company's behaviour.

According to Shanghaiist, one user asked, "How could a company treat its workers in this way? Do they not have any sense of decency?"One answer to that question, as Gizmodo reported, could have to do with the fact that Tencent doesn't have a single female executive, board member or division chief.

Sexism is rampant in China's tech companies, even among companies considered the most progressive. For example, Alibaba.

Back in 2015, Alibaba was forced to withdraw a job advertisement for female candidates with porn-star qualities to be office "cheerleaders for programmers".Then in 2016, a senior Baidu executive gave an incredibly sexist presentation.In the presentation, he told the audience, "If a girl says to me, 'The air conditioning in my dorm doesn't work, and I don't want to go home,' what does she mean? I think it means she wants to kiss and have some sex."

While China's tech community is beginning to win praise for abolishing sexism, the incident at Tencent confirms the community is still not doing enough. In fact, just last week, an early stage venture capitalist firm, in a public presentation in Beijing, said: "Rule number 10: we usually don't invest in female CEOs"

Taken from a friend's post/picture in an investor conference in China, this guy from JingBei Investment has a slide...Posted by Shirley Lin on Thursday, January 5, 2017

Just last year, a company in China came up with a disturbing way of "improving working relations" between employees and bosses:

                Chinese Boss Forces His Female Employees To Line Up And Kiss Him Every Morning

He calls it a way of "boosting company morale."

Remember How A Guy "Accidentally" Deleted His Entire Company? Yeah, It Didn't Happen

A week ago, there was a story doing the rounds of social media about a man accidentally deleting his entire company with one line of bad code. Several mainstream British mainstream publications including The Independent picked up the incredible story.

A screenshot of the story published on The Independent. Take a look at those share numbers!
Image via The Independent

It shocked everyone on the Internet, and why wouldn't it? After all, it was a story of an all-too-familiar messy IT blunder we all go through

Marco Marsala, a man claiming to work for a United Kingdom web hosting company, accidentally "told" his computer to delete everything in his servers, seemingly removing all trace of his company and the websites that he looked after for his customers.What made the man's story so compelling was the fact that he claimed that he had erased his company with a single line of bad code.Because the tool he used relayed his code to every single company server, the man claimed that even the company’s backups were deleted.

Image via Giphy

According to The Independent:

"The problem command was "rm -rf": a basic piece of code that will delete everything it is told to. The “rm” tells the computer to remove; the r deletes everything within a given directory; and the f stands for “force”, telling the computer to ignore the usual warnings that come when deleting files."In return, people on the forum he had posted his story in, chimed in with advice on how to retrieve lost data, but the general consensus was that all hope was lost for bringing the websites back to life."I feel sorry to say that your company is now essentially dead," wrote a user.

Well, after the man made headlines, it was revealed, by Marco Marsala himself, to be just another hoax. In an interview with an Italian newspaper, he acknowledged, "It was just a joke."

Speaking to the Italian publication Repubblica, Marsala explained that the story was something of a viral marketing scheme for his startup, which outsources server management services. "The command that I mentioned in the article is harmless but it seems that almost no one has noticed," he said.He reportedly told the newspaper that he was merely "trying to drum up attention for his own unnamed startup in a sort of guerrilla marketing scheme."

Netizens Want Rapid KL And KTM To Get Married After They Publicly Flirted On Twitter

February is the month of love.
And it looks like KTM Berhad and Rapid KL have nothing to hide in the love they have for each other.

Image via YouTube

What started out as a Twitter rant from Rapid KL quickly turned romantic after KTM Berhad joined in for a conversation

In a tweet yesterday, 11 February, Rapid KL sarcastically commended an unknown Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) passenger for spilling chocolate drinks in a carriage."Chocolate-flavoured Spritzer water? You can only find this on a train. This is certainly our favourite creation by our beloved passengers," Rapid KL wrote.

Image via Twitter @MyRapidKL

Concerned about the mess, KTM Berhad asked if the spill was caused by the same passenger

"Is it the same person again, admin?" KTM Berhad asked, to which the Rapid KL replied with a flirtatious response."Yes. KTM Berhad will always be the same person who resides in my heart," wrote the cheeky public transportation system company.

Without missing the hint, KTM Berhad immediately popped the question

"You already started sweet talking, when can I ask for your hand?" KTM Berhad replied.

@MyRapidKL @AskRapidKL ayat bermadah sudah, bila ayat aku terima nikahnya pulak?— KTMB 03 2267 1200 (@ktm_berhad) February 11, 2020

The railway operator probably came on too strong and left Rapid KL in a state of shock. Their playful banter stopped there.

After seeing the unexpected lovely exchange, netizens jumped in celebration for their union

"Cannot wait for the wedding of the year. You two can have a wedding ceremony at the middle point in NU Sentral," suggested one person.

cannot wait wedding of the year ... kat tengah-tengah nu sentral jadi tempat sanding ... uwuwuwu—  Sleepy_Human  (@healogix) February 11, 2020

"Sigh. You two are being lovey-dovey openly now?" a Twitter user asked, to which KTM Berhad requested her to pray for their happy marriage.

doakan kami kak fin #tilljannanick— KTMB 03 2267 1200 (@ktm_berhad) February 11, 2020

An excited netizen even took a screenshot of the public transport operators' conversation and envisioned that they will have a double-decker train baby one day."Maybe after this, we will get a double-decker train. Who knows? Congratulations!" said the elated netizen.

Mana tau lepas ni ada keretapi 2 tingkat... Tahniah @MyRapidKL @ktm_berhad pic.twitter.com/Ei9kVvF6Yo— Feeq Zamar (@feeq_zamar) February 11, 2020

However, a netizen cautioned Rapid KL against marrying KTM Berhad as the latter is a player on dating app Tinder

"Don't believe in this ketam (crab, a wordplay of the abbreviation KTM), admin," a netizen said in jest, "Look, they are on Tinder."

Jgn percaya ketam ni min.tengok ni ha main tinder hahaha pic.twitter.com/UQLxjk15b3— D.Nazrin (@DNazrin) February 11, 2020

The original tweet has gone viral with over 5,000 retweets at the time of writing.

Awww... So cute! We definitely cannot wait for more developments.

Spritzer berperisa coklat? Hanya boleh didapati di dalam tren, semestinya ciptaan teragung penumpang kesayangan kami.#rapidkl pic.twitter.com/V1uYFRRHSn— RapidKL 03-78852585 (@MyRapidKL) February 11, 2020

This is not the first time Rapid KL has behaved cheekily.
In 2018, the public transport operator tried to find the owner of a Tupperware through Facebook:

Kajian Mendapati Isu Seludup Rokok Akan Meningkat Naik Akibat Isu Pandemik Covid-19

Baru-baru ini, syarikat penyelidikan pasaran terkemuka di Malaysia, Green Zebras, melakukan Kaji Selidik Persepsi Rakyat Malaysia Tentang Rokok dan Vape

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Google

Hasil kaji selidik mendapati 51% rakyat Malaysia mengakui tahap percukaian di Malaysia sedikit tinggi, manakala 23% daripada responden mengatakan cukai pendapatan terlalu tinggi. 81% daripada mereka yang berumur dari 19 hingga 39 tahun pula merasakan tahap percukaian sedia ada adalah beban kewangan bagi mereka.

Sebanyak 91% responden kaji selidik bersetuju kos sara hidup di Malaysia sememangnya lebih tinggi berbanding 5 tahun dulu. Manakala, 93% perokok dan bukan perokok bersetuju perokok lebih cenderung untuk beralih kepada rokok seludup berikutan duti eksais yang tinggi.

Pendapatan rakyat Malaysia akan memberi impak signifikan akibat pandemik Covid-19 dan juga Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP)

Image via Google

Pengarah Urusan Green Zebras, Steve Murphy mendedahkan hal ini sedikit sebanyak boleh memberi impak kepada isu rokok seludup di mana peningkatan jumlah rakyat Malaysia yang beralih kepada rokok seludup dijangkakan meningkat berikutan pandemik Covid-19.Murphy berkata, dalam keadaan apa pun, kemampuan akan terus menjadi punca utama kenapa rakyat Malaysia beralih kepada alternatif lebih murah ketika membeli barang dan servis keperluan mereka.“Pendapatan rakyat Malaysia akan memberi impak signifikan akibat pandemik Covid-19 dan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP). Apabila pendapatan mula menyusut, permintaan untuk produk pasaran gelap yang lebih murah dijangkakan akan meningkat," katanya.

			Hal ini juga tentunya berpotensi terjadi buat rokok, memandangkan produk itu dianggap mahal di Malaysia kerana duti eksais yang tinggi. Sementara, alternatif haram pula mudah didapati dan cuma memerlukan kos yang jauh lebih murah.”
        Pengarah Urusan Green Zebras, Steve Murphy

Malah, hal ini juga bakal memberikan impak kepada pelanggan serta pemilik perniagaan

Sementara itu, kolumnis berita dan bekas Ketua Pegawai Pelaburan & Ketua Penyelidikan, Pankaj Kumar berkongsi pendapat rokok seludup memberi impak bukan saja pada pelanggan tetapi buat pemilik perniagaan. Sebilangan besar pengeluar dan pemilik kedai yang menjual rokok haram kini terkesan akibat perdagangan rokok seludup di rantau ini.“Sekiranya perdagangan rokok haram terus berleluasa, banyak perniagaan yang sah terpaksa menghentikan operasi mereka di Malaysia. Lalu, pengaruh buruk akan wujud akibat langkah radikal ini dan pengangguran bakal meningkat serta kerajaan kehilangan hasil cukai.“Namun, dengan pelaksanaan PKP, lebih mudah untuk memeriksa kenderaan yang melalui rangkaian jalan raya utama dan pihak berkuasa juga dapat melakukan pemeriksaan perdagangan rokok terlarang sekaligus memutuskan rantaian bekalan,” katanya.

Perdagangan haram ini mendorong aktiviti jenayah, rasuah, penyakit sosial dan kemungkinan aktiviti keganasan. Oleh itu, pihak kerajaan kini sedang mencari punca.

Kriminologi dan Pemeriksa Penipuan Bersijil, Datuk Sri Akhbar Satar pula berkongsi perdagangan haram mendorong aktiviti jenayah, rasuah, penyakit sosial dan kemungkinan aktiviti keganasan. Berbilion kerugian dalam perdagangan haram ini sebenarnya boleh disalurkan ke arah pengembangan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan pertumbuhan ekonomi."Realiti ini sangat tidak menguntungkan sama sekali apabila kita kehilangan sebilangan skala daripada perdagangan rokok seludup. Berbilion yang hilang itu penting untuk keadaan ekonomi semasa, di mana Covid-19 telah menjejaskan jutaan manusia, sama ada secara langsung atau tidak langsung," katanya.

			Bagi mengekang perdagangan rokok seludup, kerajaan perlu mencari punca utama melalui kolaborasi yang ditingkatkan di peringkat intra-regional, polisi dan penguatkuasaan yang lebih ketat. Kaji selidik ini telah memberikan jawapan iaitu kemampuan."
        Datuk Sri Akhbar Satar

Selain itu, Akhbar turut mencadangkan kerajaan untuk menutup jurang harga antara rokok bercukai dan rokok seludup serta membuang rasa dan niat penyeludup untuk meneruskan kegiataan haram ini menerusi pelbagai program rohani.

[TERKINI] Guan Eng Diarah Bayar Ikat Jamin RM1 Juta Selepas Dituduh Ambil Rasuah

Mahkamah Sesyen Kuala Lumpur hari ini menetapkan ikat jamin sebanyak RM1 juta dengan dua penjamin terhadap bekas Menteri Kewangan, Lim Guan Eng

Image via Buletin TV3

Menurut laporan, Hakim Azura Alwi memerintahkan agar sebanyak RM500,000 perlu dibayar hari ini manakala bakinya perlu dijelaskan Isnin ini.Selain jaminan tersebut, mahkamah turut memerintahkan agar pasport peribadi dan pasport diplomatik bekas Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang itu diserahkan ke mahkamah untuk disimpan sehingga kes itu selesai.

Terdahulu, Ahli Parlimen Bagan itu mengaku tidak bersalah atas tuduhan meminta rasuah bagi projek jalan-jalan utama dan terowong di Pulau Pinang daripada seorang pengarah syarikat

Image via Berita Harian

Berdasarkan kertas pertuduhan, Guan Eng didakwa meminta suapan 10 peratus daripada keuntungan yang akan diperolehi daripada Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli.Suapan itu dipercayai sebagai balasan upah untuk membantu syarikat milik Zarul Ahmad yang dilantik bagi melaksanakan Projek Pembinaan Jalan-Jalan Utama dan Terowong di Pulau Pinang.Dia dituduh melakukan kesalahan itu berhampiran Hotel The Gardens, Lingkaran Syed Putra, Mid Valley City, pada Mac 2011 dan didakwa mengikut Seksyen 16(a)(A) Akta Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) 2009, yang boleh dihukum penjara maksimum 20 tahun dan denda lima kali ganda nilai suapan atau RM10,000 atau mana yang lebih tinggi.

Sebelum itu,  Setiausaha Agung DAP berkenaan hadir ke mahkamah ditemani bapanya, Lim Kit Siang dan kelihatan tenang serta hanya mendiamkan diri sepanjang prosiding

Image via Harian Metro

Mahkamah turut membenarkan permohonan pendakwaan supaya tertuduh tidak membuat sebarang komen subjudis membabitkan kes itu dan menetapkan 9 September ini untuk sebutan semula kes.Dalam pada itu, pada hari Isnin dan Selasa hadapan, Guan Eng sekali lagi akan dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Sesyen Butterworth, Pulau Pinang bagi menghadapi dua pertuduhan serupa.

How Could Someone Bind, Kill And Disembowel Socky The Stray Cat?

The Fight For Justice For Socky, The Stray Cat Has Begun

Azra Azreen is still fighting the fight for Socky to get the justice it deserves and it is far from over. She has started a petition to call for "the Malaysian Government and police to treat animal cruelty cases seriously and impose higher punishment on the perpetrators" and targets to get 10,000 signatures.

Image via Facebook / Azra Azreen

The Justice For Socky petition can be signed here.

26 Nov: Penangite Azra Azreen frequently feeds a stray cat behind her house, in Taman Inderawasih. She has also taken the liberty to name this black-and-white cat Socky.

Image via Facebook / Azra Azreen

Socky, with her black and white fur, is timid. She would run away when she is approached by humans.

Image via Facebook / Azra Azreen

Socky is one of the stray cat which I fed behind my house. She's so afraid of humans that she would run and hide if she saw someone coming towards her.

        facebook.com

One day on 24 November, Azra had the shock of her life when she returned home from work. Socky was found dead in the middle of the field. Her neck and two front paws were tied with a raffia string.

Image via Facebook / Azra Azreen

Worst of all, she was mutilated and disemboweled. Her intestines spilled out of her tummy.

Image via Facebook / Azra Azreen

I got home from the office today and found Socky lying in the middle of the field with her hands and neck tied up and her intestines outside of her helpless body. I can't imagine someone could do such a thing to a poor defenceless animal.

        facebook.com

Azra is baffled as to how someone could have captured the timid cat and do such horrible things to it. "Imagine how much pain and suffering she had to endure before she dies."

Image via Facebook / Azra Azreen

She's so afraid of humans that she would run and hide if she saw someone coming towards her. So I really can't imagine how these people got hold of her and did this super horrible thing to her. Imagine how much pain and suffering she had to endure before she dies.

        facebook.com

Horrified, she called various authorities to lodge a report. However, she was met with disappointment. Authorities say that nothing can be done even if there were witnesses.

And what's more horrifying, I called a bunch of authorities to ask if I could lodge a report. But they all said, they can't do anything even if I had a witness.

        facebook.com

Outraged by this injustice, she posted on her Facebook page, detailing the incident and asking the public to share the story to increase awareness as well as stand up for animal rights.

So here I am writing and sharing my pain and hope that all of you could help me get justice for Socky. Even if we couldn't do much, the least you could do is share this story and hope that the public will be more aware and someone would stand up for these poor animals. We are the voice of these voiceless animals. Please share this and hope that someone would come forward to help change the law in Malaysia and punish those who abused animals. Not just fine them.

        facebook.com

Those who have read her story were angry, sorrowful and outraged by the brutality done to the innocent animal. Some even asked for the authorities to take the case seriously.

Lazada Retailers Are Offering More Than RM500 Discounts For The iPhone X

In case you haven’t heard, it was recently reported that the iPhone X might be discontinued in mid-2018

Image via Tech Crunch

KGI Securities' Kuo Ming-Chi, a renowned Apple analyst has said the sudden move was due to weak demand and to avoid cannibalising sales of its upcoming 2018 models later this year.

Hence, now could be the best time to buy an iPhone X

Image via Lazada

Wow Phone, a retailer on Lazada, has slashed the prices of the iPhone X 64GB and 256GB to RM4,588 (originally RM5,149) and RM5,388 (originally RM5,899) respectively.That's a sweet RM561 discount for the 64GB variant, while the 256GB variant is now RM511 cheaper as compared to its retail price!It is worth noting that the shop promises original Malaysian units with one year warranty from Apple Malaysia. Wow Phone has been selling on Lazada for more than two years with a positive seller rating of 81%.

Alternatively, you can also buy a discounted iPhone X from Lazada’s official shop

Image via Lazada

Lazada is selling the iPhone X 64GB for RM4,599, which is still RM550 less than Apple’s retail price, while the 256GB model is RM400 cheaper at RM5,499.

It's time to shop!

ICYMI, the iPhone X might not even see its first birthday:

PDRM Asking for Help From 51 Banks to Kill Cyber Fraud. Good Idea?

Police are collaborating with 51 banks to fight cyber crimes

The Royal Malaysian Police today launched their collaboration with 51 banks to curb cyber crimes via internet banking.

        nst.com.my

The collaboration involved 27 members of the Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) and 24 banks under the Association of Islamic Banking Institutions Malaysia (IBIM).

        abnxcess.com

Khalid said among the objectives of the collaboration was to stem losses due to cyber frauds which had surpassed RM80 million in the first seven months this year.

Police wants to educate the public on the scam tactics of cyber frauds by linking a 'scam alert' portal to the websites of banks

Among the objectives of the collaboration was to stem losses due to cyber frauds which had surpassed RM80 million in the first seven months this year.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said police would set up a portal on tips and modus operandi of cyber frauds which would be linked to the websites of the banks involved to raise pubic awareness on the dangers of cyber crimes and to avoid becoming victims of online crimes.

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

"We are providing 'crime alert' or 'scam alert' link on the tips and modus operandi to the banks' websites," he told reporters after launching the collaboration at Bukit Aman here Monday.

        bernama.com.my

“This will be linked to the websites of all banks in the country so that anyone can easily access the information which will be regularly updated,” he said after launching the initiative at Bukit Aman yesterday.

“We are posting a list of the various methods and modus operandi used in these scams at our official police website at www.rmp.gov.my.

        thestar.com.my

Police say the rise of cyber crime is due to a lack of public awareness

Khalid said among the objectives of the collaboration was to stem losses due to cyber frauds which had surpassed RM80 million in the first seven months this year.

        nst.com.my

Fraud and cyber crimes in the country have risen unchecked due to the lack of public awareness, while victims are hesitant to report the crime, the police said. Millions of ringgit have been lost annually to crimes like sms scams and parcel scams, which have mostly gone unnoticed in the public eye.

6 Reasons Why You Won't Get Rich By Reading About Personal Finance

This is a personal finance article.
It's also a personal finance article telling you why personal finance articles aren't very effective in helping people.

You might think this is strange, coming from a person who writes about money all the time. But I can only tell you the truth: you won’t get rich from reading personal finance.Here are six reasons why.

1. We Actually Can't Give You Financial Advice

Scroll to the bottom of most personal finance websites, and you’ll see some common, though strange disclaimers: “not financial advice,” “for education purposes only.”Well, if this isn’t advice, then why tf am I spending my time reading this?Because the Internet is a great (and cheap) place to share information with lots of people. On the other hand, there are laws preventing non-qualified people from giving financial/investment advice to normal people. To show the difference:1. Sharing information: “This is how unit trusts work”2. Financial advice: “Next month, I recommend you invest RM 1,000 into Aaron Equity Fund because…”This is generally a good thing. It’s meant to protect people from scammers and con men. But it also means that you’ll read a lot of articles without strong opinions or recommendations. And a lot of surface-level crap which isn’t practical at all.Boringgggg…

2. Personal Finance Is Supposed To Be Personal

The second reason personal finance articles suck is they’re mostly too general.It’s like buying clothes at Tesco vs. having a personal tailor. At Tesco, the clothes are designed for the mass-market average person. You’re basically screwed if you have an uncommon body shape — like if your chest is large, but your arms are small. You might get something that kinda fits, but will never look as good as if a great tailor crafted something.Likewise, an article on the Internet has to be broad enough for maximum impact. “How to manage your money” is probably too broad. “How should young graduates manage their money?” is nice. But “How to manage your money if you’re good-looking, have three girlfriends and a Honda Civic, but no college degree” is only gonna be useful to maybe one person — so no one writes shit like that.And yet, that might be the person who needs financial advice the most.It’s the same thing with “rules” and “systems” that online marketers promise will help make you rich (just sign up here for ONLY RMxxxx!). They’re nice and convenient on paper — but they don’t apply to everyone, all the time.Broad information can be a nice introduction to a subject. But because everyone’s situation is different — it stops getting useful past a certain point.

3. Stories Are Double-Edged Sword

The best personal finance articles have lots of stories in them. Some can even make you cry. The really good ones make you feel like “I can totally relate to what this guy is writing… I want him as my Internet-guru!”But there are problems with stories. Our human need for stories comes at a dangerous cost: romantic tales often blind us to cold, hard data. And a lot of times, stories are not repeatable — especially when it comes to dramatic feats from people in different circumstances.So just because you keep hearing about college dropouts who risk everything and hustle till they become millionaires, doesn’t mean you’ll have the same experience. Just because I (who writes my fair share of stories) quit a high-paying job to find meaningful work — doesn’t mean you should do the same too.I’m not asking you to stop reading stories. That would make life miserable. But just understand that our minds are naturally biased towards believing in a good story — even if that story contains bullshit and is statistically improbable.So the next time you’re enjoying the latest viral story, remember to protect yourself with critical thinking.

Just because I traveled to 38 countries before I turned 30, doesn’t mean you can do it too.
Image via mr-stingy via Pexels

4. Beware Conflicts of Interest

Speaking of which, just because an article is popular and well-written — doesn’t mean that it’s good for you. Many are written with someone’s best interests in mind, just not yours.For example, consider sponsored articles. There’s a reason why a company is paying big bucks to sponsor something on a well-known website: because duh… they want you to buy something.It’s useful to ask yourself whenever you’re reading anything: what’s the motivation behind this? Is this article designed to encourage you to do something (which may or may not be good for you)? Should you follow its advice then?This isn’t to diss sponsored articles or advertisements. They’re part of keeping content on the Internet free. (Unless of course, you’re willing to pay for content?) But in case you haven’t figured out yet: I want you to be aware of things that can badly affect your decision making.You should ask the same of me: So why tf do you spend time writing crazy long articles that you give away for free Aaron?Because I’m tired of lousy articles online. And though statistically a lot of people will think my material is lousy too, I’m trying to contribute my share of good content to the Internet.Also, because I want you to love me.

5. Awareness, Knowledge And Skill Are Very Different Things

“But financial literacy is important! It should even be taught in schools! Let’s create yet another financial-literacy portal with cool videos to help teach young people about retirement! (Young people like videos so they’ll watch them right?)”You might be shocked to learn this though: we already have evidence that financial literacy programs don’t work.Did you know that the kind and loving Malaysian government has already had several initiatives in the past to promote financial literacy? Banks do it all the time too — but what do you see in the newspapers every day? “Malaysians have most debt in Asia!”WFT!?Well, it comes down to human nature: knowing about something and doing something about it are two very different things.And don’t get me wrong — raising awareness is a good cause. That’s why I continue to write every day. But real skills — in managing money or any other practical life matter — don’t come just from reading. They come from doing, reflecting, then doing again.It’s like mastering football. You don’t become Cristiano Ronaldo by reading articles and listening to podcasts titled “13 Shocking Ways to Beat Your Opponent.” You have to actually put on boots and chase a ball with 21 other people.Practice beats theory any time.

6. You Have To Experience It For Yourself

If there’s one thing I want you to take away from all this, it’s that ultimately you need to take responsibility; for your money and for your life. You could read step-by-step finance guides all day, but a mindset, the deep stuff inside you is way more important.Yes, the world of personal finance is difficult and confusing, especially at the start. And we always feel safer if there’s someone there to guide us.But even toddlers must eventually be released from the safety of their mothers’ arms, and endure their first fall. Likewise, you’ll never get far if you just hide behind the safety of written words. The important things in life are hard; get used to it.I like to look at myself as your friend and guide. Maybe even a big brother. So I’ll continue to tell you what I think and share my stories. I hope you get inspired and learn some interesting things. But I don’t want to tell you what to do. No, that’s the wrong concept.I just want to help you figure it out for yourself.Because this is your life, and you’re the hero in your own adventure. And the day you realize this, is the day it sets you free from all the “gurus,” “systems” and shallow advice in the world.Online articles like this are good for raising awareness. Great ones may even inspire you to find knowledge. But in the end, you only get good at money by experiencing things for yourself. So get out there, and embrace your own personal finance journey.Then maybe someday, you’ll have your own rich story to share too.

A Woman Was Nearly Raped While Holidaying In Langkawi. This Is Her Story

A woman from Selangor who was holidaying in Langkawi was the victim of an attempted rape at the Langkawi Lagoon Sea Village resort early on Wednesday, according to her post on Facebook

The woman's Facebook post, which had been shared over 4k times at the time of writing this story, narrates how the nightmarish ordeal took place.

The incident took place within the space of a few minutes around 7.20 in the morning, when the woman, who was getting ready for a jog, lay on the bed and was checking messages on her phone

"I was lying on the bed, checking messages on my phone, when I noticed the shadow of a man behind the glass panel. It turned out to be a man of about 165cm height with a very tanned skin who was half naked, wearing only a black trouser," the woman wrote.She claims that when she asked him "who are you" the man pounced on her.

Image via Facebook

The woman claimed that the man pushed her against the bed, covered her mouth and told her to stop screaming. When she asked him did he want money, she claims he told her, "I want you".

At which point, she started to defend herself and put up a fight."I struggled, pushed and punched him while yelling for help," the woman wrote on her Facebook post, adding that after a few minutes of struggle, the man grabbed her and pushed her inside the bathroom and fled the room.

When she phoned the reception to report abut the incident, they sent her a man who she claimed looked similar to her assailant

According to her, he was the buggy driver on duty and looked very similar to the man who was in her room and tried to rape her.However, the woman added that she wasn't 100% sure if the buggy driver, who seemed quite helpful, was the same man, and she didn't want to blame an innocent man.She wrote that the hotel management wasn't very helpful about the incident.

The woman decided to check out of the resort and took the blood-stained bedsheet with her as evidence to the Kuala Teriang police station where she lodged a report at about 10am the same day

She was sent for a medical check-up. The police later arrested a 17-year-old suspect from the resort for investigation.According to a report in The Star Online, Langkawi district police chief Asst Comm Dr Che Ghazali Che Awang said the case is being investigated under Section 354 and Section 448 of the Penal Code for assault or use of criminal force with the intention to outrage modesty, and for trespassing, respectively."We are in the midst of investigating the matter and are currently in the process of obtaining a remand order," The Star Online quoted him as saying.

However, the woman has questioned why the police didn't register a case about an attempt to rape, asking is it because there was no evidence to prove and charge the suspect with sexual assault

In her Facebook post, the woman quoted an inspector named Alex telling her that the suspect was "trying to rob but realised she was actually awake."The 17-year-old must have taken the key from housekeeping and took off his shirt as he didn't want to be recognised as the hotel staff."

She has also questioned the lack of safety lock on the room's door, saying it has a single lock which can be unlocked by a master key

She posted a couple of photos, showing how the card access is not functional.

Daughters In This Family Have Been Raped By Their Own Dad For Five Years

On Monday, Syed Azmi shared a story on how a father has been raping and sexually abusing his daughters repeatedly over the past five years

Image via Syed Azmi via Facebook

The girls told their school teachers about it but all of them were too afraid to step in. What’s more shocking is the fact that their own mother knew all along.

The father would openly rape them in front of their siblings

One of the girls told Syed Azmi, "Ayah pass phone dia pada adik. Adik amik handphone and main handphone. Belakang adik, ayah mencabul dan rogol saya." (He would pass his mobile phone to my sister. My sister would take the phone to play with it. He would rape and sexually abuse me behind her back.)They were sexually abused and raped so frequently by their father that the girls would openly ask each other,  "Kau kena tak semalam?" (Did he rape you yesterday?)

It took five years for one brave high school teacher to finally do the right thing

When school reopened, the girl gathered her courage and told her teacher about the ongoing abuse. The teacher picked up the phone, rang Syed Azmi and explained everything to him. One hour later, Syed reached the school to see the teacher and the girl.

The girl was more worried about the well-being of her family, saying, “I only want to know what will happen to my mother and sisters.”

Upon his arrival, Syed introduced himself to the girl and assured her that he and the teachers were there to help her.According to him, the standard procedure for such cases is to call 15999, make a police report and do a medical check.However, none of the above worried her. Her main concern was what would happen to her mother and sisters. She said she still loves her father and all she wants is for the abuse to stop.Talian Kasih 15999 is a 24-hour helpline for abuse victims or people who need someone to talk to.

"I'll try my best to do what you want," said Syed Azmi

SA: "Nak report police?" (Do you want to report to the police?)Girl: "Tak tahu." (I don't know)SA: "Habis dik, nanti siapa nak bagitahu ayah supaya jangan buat lagi?" (If not, who is going to tell your father to stop the abuse?)Girl: "Tak tahu." (I don't know)SA: "Lagi lama kita tunggu, ayah akan terus buat." (If we continue to wait and stay silent, your father is going to continue)She eventually caved. "My sister is a victim too. If she agrees to report, I shall report too."

When contacted over the phone, her sister voiced similar concerns about the future of their family, as he is the sole breadwinner of the family

"What would the neighbours say? What would our family say? What if our dad loses his job? Who is going to pay for my education when I further my studies?" she questioned.She added, "Takpelah, biarkan aje. Mak kata bagi peluang." (It's okay, just let it be. Our mum told us to give our father a chance.)After speaking to Syed, she asked for more time to decide if she was ready to make a police report against her father. She said she would give an answer that night.

Though the girl felt better after the phone call to her sister, Syed reminded her that her relief will only be temporary as she still has to return home for semester break

As they waited for the sister’s confirmation, Syed called the Department of Social Welfare (JKMWPKL) and prepared the teacher.The sister called and gave them the green light to report her father. However, she told them to do it “during the weekends” when their father is not working.

Syed said, "As someone who respects the need and consent of a child, I wish I could do better."

He believes that their family dynamics caused the kids to think twice about reporting their father - the girls have no grandparents or relatives to rely on, their mother is a housewife with no income. As a result, they suffered for years with no one else to turn to.

Syed Azmi posted an update to the story on his Facebook page yesterday

After discussions with the Department of Social Welfare, medical team, police and government agencies, Syed has confirmed that the father will be questioned.However, it will not happen until the weekend as he respected the children’s wish to do it over the weekends. It would come with a cost as he was worried that the father might start to cover his tracks by erasing evidence.

In the comments section, netizens suggested setting up a long-term fund for donations to help the family get by without their father

Syed Azmi reminded in his post that everyone has a part to play in negating sexual abuse and rape cases

Call the nearest police station’s number and remember the Talian Kasih 15999 hotline. We should also make sure our kids know these numbers.Never be afraid to do the right thing. Lodge a report especially if a child turns to you for help.

Sarawak's New Museum Complex Is So Massive That It Will Make Your Jaw Drop

This stunning gold-coloured building will soon be home to Sarawak's Museum Complex (SMC)

Image via Instagram @thomastong1988

Viral photos taken by Instagram user Thomas Tong have been making rounds on Facebook.According to his Instagram post, Tong took the photos using a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone.

The new Sarawak Museum Complex will be the largest museum building in Malaysia, and the second largest in Southeast Asia

Image via Instagram @thomastong1988

Construction on the RM308 million complex began in 2015. It is designed to complement another iconic building in Sarawak: the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly complex.The Sarawak Tribune reported that the complex will have five floors - a cafeteria on the ground floor, a children's gallery on the first floor, and exhibition areas on the remaining three floors.

Image via Instagram @thomastong1988

However, the public will have to wait until September 2020 for SMC to be fully ready and operational

Image via Instagram @thomastong1988

Although the complex has been fully constructed and will be handed over to the state government this month, The Borneo Post reported that the museum's historical artefacts will need to be moved back into the building and its descriptions accurately displayed.Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth, and Sports Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah also hinted that the complex may have a new name when its opening day comes around.


23 Childhood Snacks Malaysians Love & What Happened To Them

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

1. Cadbury Bytes

Image via Htm Pharmacy

Cadbury Bytes were these little wafer pillows filled with a chocolaty centre that were pretty tasty. Unfortunately, according to this article, it was discontinued in 2011 after Kraft Foods took over Cadbury due to "a de-prioritising of low margin business". Kraft focused its efforts on Frito Lays as the market for that was more demanding.

2. Chiclets

Image via mathernes

Image via Ubuy

Chiclets used to come in these thin, flat boxes and were so easy to pop into your mouth.It appeared to have disappeared from shelves in Malaysia for awhile and was believed to have been discontinued in 2016. However, in 2019, several articles mention that it showed up again and was being manufactured in Mexico. Prior to that, it was owned by Mondelez in the US. So it probably still exists somewhere in the world, if you look hard enough.

3. Snek Mi JJ

Image via @syafikarfn (Twitter)

Getting to assemble Keropok JJ's mini toys into the shape of a plane, fighter jet, bike, and race car was probably one of the best highlights of any '90s kids' childhood. Such a small piece of plastic that gave endless joy. :')It appears that the snack still exists in Malaysia, though it's a lot more difficult to find. One online seller was selling it as recently as 2021, but it's currently sold out.

4. KFC Krushers

Image via dbgg1979/Flickr

KFC used to sell Krushers, which were like cold milkshakes, perfect for our heat. There were flavours like 'Kookies 'n Kream', with Oreo bits, 'Mocha Krunch', and Chipsmore.It's unclear what happened to the popular item in Malaysia, but according to this article, KFC removed it from the menu, which brought frustration among many customers. There was even a petition in Australia to bring it back with over 6,800 signatures.It appears that the last mention of it in Malaysia was in 2011 when KFC Malaysia posted a Facebook status asking which flavour customers love.

5. Twisties Chickadees

Image via Peter's Milk Bar

Image via Stevehall604/Reddit

Among the top guns like Super Ring and Jack 'n Jill Roller Coaster was our dear ol' friend, Chickadees. It felt puffier, greener, and more 'chickeny' tasting than Twisties (although it was probably more of a chicken flavoured corn snack). But it was so tasty. Chickadees existed as early as the '80s with a branding that was strong enough that some say their parents and grandparents often called every snack Chickadees after its release.It's unclear what happened to the snack as it hasn't been spotted in years. But if you happen to see it, lemme know.

6. Red plum / Asam boi candy

Image via Shopee

You could always count on these yummy sour plums coated in honey to keep you awake when the afternoon food coma hits. Thankfully for us, they still exist in Malaysia. You can find them online, as well as in selected grocery stores and sundry shops. But the most special place has to be on the cashier counter of your favourite mamak or Indian restaurant.

7. Marukawa Fruit Bubble Gum

Image via Snack Semiotics

Image via China Global Mall

There was something strangely satisfying having one of these as a kid, from the small, cute square packaging to the perfectly round balls. Although the bubble gum had such a faint burst of flavour to them that only lasted less than 10 seconds, it was something special. You can still find them around, especially in kedai runcits in smaller towns. Or you can get them online.

8. Funny Fruity stick

Image via Yan Ty

These fruity candy on sticks came in a bunch of flavours like grape, orange, strawberry, and blueberry, and were pretty addictive (almost like Sugus). You can still find them today in certain sundry shops around Malaysia and some shops online.

9. Big Foot popping candy

Image via Teong Heng Trading

As a kid, these popping candy 'feet' were so much fun! As an adult, they still are. :PGetting to hear the crackling sounds in your mouth... ah, such simply joys. :') You can get them online.

10. Dentyne

Image via SMK Semerah Padi (Facebook)

Dentyne told us our teeth would become white and shiny as kids. Did we believe them? Probably. The apple and watermelon flavours were always the best ones, in my opinion. They still exist in places like Thailand but have yet to be spotted in Malaysia for a while now.

11. Marukawa Fusen tattoo bubble gum

Image via gumsearch/Reddit

Image via EverydayOnSales

Image via gumsearch/Reddit

You were only as cool as the number of temporary tattoos you had on your body that came from these water-based bubble gum wrappers. :D The Marukawa brand, which was established in 1948 in Japan, have been making these Tattoo Fusen bubble gums and supplying them to countries all over the world. Though they haven't been discontinued, they're pretty difficult to find in Malaysia today, but we spotted some shops selling them online.

12. Bubble Yum

Image via Lazada

Image via Price Cutter

Bubble Yum was all the rage back then and could be found almost everywhere, from petrol stations to the kedai runcits. But it has since dwindled in Malaysia in recent years for reasons unknown. Stores like Childhood and some grocers still sell them, although it's been a long time since flavours other than the original have been spotted. Apparently, this isn't just a problem in Malaysia.

13. Eyeglass chocolates

Image via Lazada

Image via Berita Harian

The ultimate Smarties or M&M's dupe, these eyeglass chocolates were probably a part of every '90s kids' childhood. Remember attaching rubber bands to the sides so we could wear them and pretend that we're superheroes? Today, you can still find them in pasar malams, smaller sundry shops, and online.

14. Susu Segar

Image via Shopee

If you attended public school, you'll probably recognise these old school bottles that used to be sold in the canteens. They came in a bunch of different flavours like chocolate, strawberry, and banana. It's no competition for the bigger brands today but still legendary, especially for those who grew up during the '90s. They are difficult to find today but some shops have been selling them online.

15. Cadbury Time Out

Image via thejournal.ie

Image via thejournal.ie

Introduced in 1992, Cadbury's Time Out was eventually removed from the market in 2016 due to its unpopularity. The company replaced the double sticks with single finger Time Out wafers, but fans weren't too happy by the decision.

16. Magic Chew candy

Image via SeeTracker

Apart from Sugus, you could never just stop at one with these! Sour, sticky, and highly addictive. You can still find them online.

17. Yupi pizza and burger gummies

Image via Behypy

Image via OhMedia/LokaLocal

Yupi's little pizza and burger gummies were so much fun to munch on as kids and they still sell them today! Were you the type who would peel the burger and eat it layer by layer or shove the whole thing into your mouth at one go? You can get them at grocery stores and relive those simple memories.

18. TofiLuk and Safari

Image via Carousell

Image via Shopee

Good luck trying to find TofiLuk and Safari today. These Arabic chocolates are still being sold by some resellers online in Malaysia, but it is unclear why they're not as readily available in physical stores anymore.

19. Wall's Moo ice cream

Image via Lowyat.NET

Paddle Pop has always been the go-to ice cream as a kid, but when Wall's introduced its 'Moo' in the early 2000s, it was a different level of hype... well, sorta. (After all, can anything truly compete with Paddle Pop?)'Moo' came in a curvy shape with a vanilla milk flavour and splashes of chocolate to mimic the look of a dairy cow. It used to be sold in kedai runcits everywhere, but it appears to have since disappeared. There's not much information on where it went but several fans mentioned that it has possibly been discontinued.

20. Fruit-tella

Image via Lowyat.NET

Sometimes you end up accidentally eating a Sugus wrapping paper along with the sweet 'cause it sticks to it but that rarely happens with Fruit-tella. Buy one of these and it'll be eaten in seconds (not just by you but by friends who'd come around and ask for "just one piece"). :PYou can still find it today, just not as common as before.

21. Super 88 Bubble Gum

Image via Behypy

Image via ditelanzaman

Not all bubble gums during the time could make big bubbles, but this one was one of the rare ones that could. Super 88's were one of the more affordable gums that were pretty popular in the '80s. At one point, you could even buy it for around 10 sen each and they were often sold in large jars at cashier counters. Each packet comes with three flavours: strawberry (red), orange (orange), and lemon (yellow). You can still get them online today.

22. Pepsi Twist and Pepsi Blue

Image via Behance

Pepsi Twist and Pepsi Blue came out in 2000 and 2002, and were around for several years. Apparently, they weren't popular enough and sales were discontinued, but fans have been asking for the company to bring them back. In 2019, Pepsi responded in a tweet to one fan who asked for Pepsi Twist's return, saying that they would pass on the interest to the relevant teams.

23. Wall's Viennetta

Image via Arisha Rozaidee/SAYS Makan

Known as the 'atas' ice cream back then, Wall's Viennetta disappeared from shelves slightly more than a decade ago. It surprised everyone when it made a comeback sometime in 2019. No one knows why it left or why it returned. But it definitely re-ignited some memories for many who grew up with it and those who didn't (but could now afford to eat it).

Kim Jong-Un Fed His Uncle Alive To 120 Hungry Dogs: Report

After Killing The Uncle Of Kim Jong-Un, North Korea Executes All His Direct Relatives

After The Execution Of Kim Jong-Un's Uncle, North Korea Kills His Direct Relatives
Image via smh.com.au

The direct relatives of Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jong-un's recently executed uncle, have all been put to death upon the orders of the North Korean leader, it was reported yesterday

        telegraph.co.uk

Among those allegedly executed were Jon Yong-jin, Jang's brother-in-law and the country's ambassador to Cuba, and Jang Yong-chol, Jang's nephew and ambassador to Malaysia, the anonymous sources said. The nephew's two sons were also killed, according to the report.

        telegraph.co.uk

The executed ambassadors were allegedly recalled to Pyongyang, North Korea's capital in early December and executed.
It was unclear exactly when they were killed, but it is believed it was soon after death after Song-thaek's execution on Dec 12.

        thestar.com.my

"Extensive executions have been carried out for relatives of Jang Song-thaek," one source told the agency.
"All relatives of Jang have been put to death, including even children." "Some relatives were shot to death by pistol in front of other people if they resisted while being dragged out of their apartment homes," a source told Yonhap.

        smh.com.au

However, some relatives by marriage, including the former Malaysian ambassador's wife, were spared and sent to remote villages along with their maiden families, according to sources.

        thestar.com.my

The killings were reported to have taken place after Jang's own execution on December 12 and "mean that no traces of him should be left", a source told Yonhap.

        telegraph.co.uk

According to a report in pro-China paper Wen Wei Po, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un‘s uncle was stripped naked, locked in a cage and then eaten alive by a pack of 120 hungry dogs

This report has yet to be confirmed, but is being published by NBC News among other credible sources.

        gawker.com

Jang Song Thaek, long considered KJU’s second-in-command, was executed last month after his crazy nephew became suspicious that he was trying to undermine his authority.
How Jang was put to death, however, was not specified when the news first broke on December 12.

        elitedaily.com

Hong Kong-based newspaper Wen Wei Po has reported that Jang, along with his five closest aides, were killed by 120 hounds that had not eaten in five days.

        yahoo.com

Kim, his brother Kim Jong-Chol and 300 other officials oversaw the entire process, which took about one hour. The newspaper is quoted as saying that Jang and the aides were “completely eaten up.”

        npr.org

First, Kim Jong Un ordered the execution his uncle Jang. Now he is erasing uncle Jang from photographs.

After having his uncle — and longtime regime insider — Jang Song Thaek executed earlier this month, Kim Jong Un’s totalitarian state has set about purging any historical trace of the “traitor” Jang.

        theguardian.com

South Korea released stills from a film re-broadcast in the north on Friday where Jang Song-thaek (seen left) has been edited out.
Image via guim.co.uk

In the 21st century, Stalinist airbrushing may be one of the more futile, anachronistic measures in a despot’s toolkit. But Kim’s North Korea is a land apart and thousands of government documents and photographs have been removed from the Internet, presumably so that references to Jang can be erased.

        time.com

SAYS presents three instances of North Korea's airbrush magic at work below....

On Saturday, N Korea's state TV repeated a documentary on Kim Jong Un's military inspection trips. Although uncle Jang appeared throughout the version that aired on Oct. 28, images of him had vanished from the new version.

Image via wordpress.com

Image via wordpress.com

In one scene in the original version, uncle Jang can be seen walking behind Kim Jong Un as the leader speaks with a soldier. But Jang cannot be seen in Saturday's version, which has the same title and narration.

Image via wordpress.com

Image via wordpress.com

Elsewhere in the older version, he is seen clapping his hands from a distance as a uniformed officer speaks to Kim. But the new version only shows what appear to be parts of Jang's right arm, chest and abdomen.

Image via wordpress.com

The story about uncle Jang's execution continues below...

The uncle of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has been dragged from a military court and executed for being a 'traitor

Jang Song Thaek, 67, who had been considered the second most powerful official in the country, and a mentor to his nephew, was killed immediately after a military trial.
It is believed he was executed in the customary North Korean way by firing squad.

        theguardian.com

In a statement Pyongyang called him a 'traitor to the nation for all ages,' 'worse than a dog' and 'despicable human scum' who planned a military coup.

        dailymail.co.uk

Jang Song-thaek, previously one of the country's most powerful men, was accused of everything from plotting to overthrow the state to instigating disastrous currency reforms and dishing out pornography in the report from official news agency KCNA.

Earlier this week he was expelled from the Workers’ Party of Korea and stripped of all his posts

North Korea announced earlier this week that Jang, thought to be in his late 60s, had been stripped of all posts and expelled from the Workers' party for offences including factionalism, corruption and dissolute behaviour.

        indiatimes.com

But many had thought his marriage to the youthful leader's aunt – the sister of late leader Kim Jong-il – was likely to save his life.

        theguardian.com

The state-controlled Korean Central News Agency released a 2,700-word statement in English today.
'From long ago, Jang had a dirty political ambition,' the statement said. 'He dared not raise his head when Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il were alive.

        dailymail.co.uk

'He began revealing his true colors, thinking that it was just the time for him to realize his wild ambition in the period of historic turn when the generation of the revolution was replaced.'

        koreatimes.co.kr

Image via mshcdn.com

The statement added: 'Every sentence of the decision served as sledge-hammer blow brought down by our angry service personnel and people on the head of Jang, an anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional element and despicable political careerist and trickster.
'The accused is a traitor to the nation for all ages who perpetrated anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional acts in a bid to overthrow the leadership of our party and state and the socialist system.

        examiner.com

Other offences cited in the lengthy, bombastic and at times downright bizarre report from KCNA included halfhearted "applause" as Kim rose to power

Along with the halfhearted applause as Kim rose to power, other offence was Jang's "reckless" instruction to security forces to erect a granite block with Kim's signature in a shaded corner rather than in front of their headquarters.

        theguardian.com

Image via examiner.com

Brian Myers, an expert on ideology at Dongseo University in Busan, noted that the denigration of Jang held potential perils for the leadership. It raised questions about his ability to cause so much damage for so long and sat uneasily with North Korea's use of collective punishment.

        time.com

The state run official news agency KCNA called him a ‘traitor to the nation for all ages’ and ‘worse than a dog’

'The accused is a traitor to the nation for all ages who perpetrated anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional acts in a bid to overthrow the leadership of our party and state and the socialist system.

'Despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the party and the leader for him.'

        koreatimes.co.kr

It added: 'He let the decadent capitalist lifestyle find its way to our society by distributing all sorts of pornographic pictures among his confidants since 2009. He led a dissolute, depraved life, squandering money wherever he went.
