Sarawak School Teacher Who Fainted While She Was Giving Additional Classes Has Died

47-year-old Yap Hue Ling has died at 10.21am on Thursday, 30 May

On 27 May, the secondary school teacher was admitted to the intensive care unit of Sibu Hospital after she fainted while giving additional lessons in school.The teacher had been in an unconscious state since Monday, the Star Online reported.

Yap, who was giving Mandarin tuition to her students when she fainted, was declared brain dead on Wednesday, 29 May

According to the Star Online's report, which quoted Sarawak Teachers' Union (STU) Sibu chapter president Yong Sie Hing, Yap was not forced to take additional classes.Yong told the English daily that the teacher was taking Mandarin lesson on her own initiative at the time of the incident, adding that while the intention of the victim was good, nobody wanted the incident to happen either."There are teachers who are too hardworking as they personally sacrifice their time to give extra lessons to their students so that they can do well in their exams. We cannot blame the teachers," the Sibu chapter president was quoted as saying.

Sibu MP Oscar Ling, who is the brother-in-law of Yap, said that the teacher's family had agreed to donate her organs

"Doctors will fly in tonight to process what is necessary for the donation of her organs and after that, the family will arrange for the funeral," the Star Online quoted him as saying.The 47-year-old secondary teacher leaves behind her civil engineer husband and three children, two boys aged 12 and 16, and a girl aged 10.

On 28 May, a post was uploaded on Facebook, praying for Yap's recovery. "We hope we can see your beautiful smiles again when you awake, we hope that miracles happen from God," the post read.


Report: 41% Of Sexual Harassment In Schools Committed By Teachers & School Authorities

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Warning: This story contains detailed survivor accounts of sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

41.1% of sexual harassment cases reported by victims were committed by teachers and other figures of authority in school, according to a report published yesterday, 30 November

The report consists of 770 testimonies and they were compiled by Save the Schools MY (STS) — a platform created in April after teenage schoolgirl Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam grabbed national attention over the prevalence of rape culture in school. The All Women's Action Society (AWAM) then analysed all the entries that were submitted to STS between 26 April and 13 August via Google Form.AWAM noted that although the entries submitted are anecdotal by nature and that some of the stories had incomplete information, the non-governmental organisation says its communications team had done its best to ensure the information was accurately represented.

Of all the 770 testimonies analysed, AWAM said 204 (26.5%) of the respondents experienced multiple instances of abuse, which added up to 1,145 incidents

"Out of the 1,145 incidents of abuse, we identified a total of 1,495 violations," reads the report."279 (24.4%) of all incidents involved multiple violations."The report says there are 1,046 sexual harassment cases (70%), 299 bullying cases (20%), period spot check cases (5%), and others (5%).Of the biggest make-up of the incidents of abuse — sexual harassment — 386 (36.9%) respondents were verbally harassed, 368 (35.2%) were physically harassed, and 136 (13%) were gestural harassment."89.2% of all sexual harassment violations occurred in primary and secondary institutions of learning," it says.

Peers (43%) and religious and non-religious teachers (38%) were the top sexual harassment perpetrators

"Out of all perpetrators, 41.1% were figures of authority in school. Out of these perpetrators, at least 87.1% were men," AWAM said."851 (81.4%) sexual harassment violations were not disclosed or reported to anyone. In 71 (8.3%) of these violations, however, survivors either took action or suffered negative consequences."50.3% of respondents who reported their sexual harassment encounters had 'no action taken' against their complaints, 36.1% were not taken seriously, and 13.6% were victim-blamed for their encounters.961 (91.9%) of sexual harassment victims were female, while 55 (5.5%) were male.524 (50.1%) of the victims were aged between 13 and 17, while 270 (25.8%) were aged between seven and 12."At least 76.7% of sexual harassment violations involved child survivors," it says.

The report also highlighted that there were 10 cases of rape, 32 cases of child grooming, 20 cases of stalking, and 23 cases of power abuse

All 10 rape victims (2.7% of all physical sexual harassment violations) were female, with the youngest victim being only eight years old.Five of the perpetrators were male students, while three were teachers."None of the survivors (except one) told anyone about the alleged rape violation. Nevertheless, five survivors still experienced negative psychosocial consequences," reads the report."One was shunned by her friends. Three were traumatised by the alleged violations, with one of them so severely traumatised to the extent that she developed dissociative identity disorder and underwent treatment for her condition.""One was verbally bullied by her relatives, peers, and teachers — coupled with the alleged rape, these violations led to outcomes of traumatisation and self-harm.""For that one survivor who did tell someone about the alleged violation, it was to her family, but only after they asked her about the pain and bleeding that she was experiencing at her private part. Whilst the perpetrator was transferred to another school, the principal also paid the family to keep quiet about the alleged rape violation."

Image via AWAM

In a statement accompanying the report, AWAM renewed its call for the Ministry of Education (MOE) to create a zero-tolerance culture against sexual harassment in learning institutions

"We cannot remain complacent in the face of decades of such widespread perpetration of atrocities," AWAM says in the statement, which was made available to SAYS.AWAM suggests the government:– Implement regular gender awareness and sensitisation training among school figures of authorities nationally– Incorporate modules on gender awareness and sensitivity in the curricula and teachers' code of conduct in teachers' colleges or training institutions– Update the 2011 guidelines on the management of sexual harassment cases and monitor its implementation in schools– Address gaps highlighted by AWAM on the period spot check circular, specifically those on the need for clearer directives on reporting mechanisms, actions taken against perpetrators, and survivor redress"The future of our children depends on the realisation of these actions. We must act now," the non-governmental organisation says.

19-Year-Old Reunites With Mother After Being Trapped In A Job Scam Syndicate For 8 Months

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

A 19-year-old had a sweet and tearful reunion with his mother, whom he has not been able to see for eight months after he was trafficked to Myanmar by a job scam syndicate

According to China Press, the young adult had fallen victim to the syndicate after accepting a job offer in Kelantan that promised him a high salary.After he arrived in Kelantan, he was forcefully brought to Thailand before being shipped off to Myanmar.The victim said that he was still awake and conscious while the traffickers were shipping him to Thailand but he was too afraid to resist or to find a way to escape.There was another local victim who was in the same predicament as him. Unfortunately, the victim is still in the process of being rescued.The 19-year-old relayed the terrifying experience, saying, "After many twists and turns, I was sent to KK Park (casino in Myanmar). I was forced to conduct cyber frauds. I was slapped for making mistakes or when I failed to meet their standards.""I was scared. I called my mother for a week, crying and asking her to come save me," the youth said while recalling his experience when he was captured.

Mother and son finally reunited.

In a press conference held by Penang Front Party (PFT) chairman Ong Seong Lu, the victim's mother recounted the lengths she had taken in order to save her son from his predicament

The 57-year-old tailor told reporters that she received a call from her son, not long after he left for the supposed job. She said that her son called her to ask for RM50,000 so he could pay for his release. She initially thought it was a scam and did not oblige. The duo found difficulty contacting each other again after the phone call. But by this time, the mother was resolved to rescue her son one way or another. The 57-year-old found help in the Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO) and the PFP chairman and the mother expressed her gratitude for their support and efforts to get her son back. She also thanked Victor Wong, who played a significant role in helping her get her son back by being the middleman for the arrangements. Despite helping the rescue operation in such a big way, the mother said that Wong had not asked for a single cent from her."Without Wong, I don't know how I would have saved my son. Thank you, Wong," the emotional mother said to Wong as the victim also took the opportunity to shake hands with one of his rescuers.The mother and son reunited at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 1 (KLIA1). Another local youth, who was also a victim of a job scam, was rescued as well.MHO secretary-general Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim reminded the 19-year-old that he was lucky to have a mother who would stop at nothing to get him back."She called us (MHO) every day you know? You have the best mother in the world. You must cherish her. Because she fought for you," Hishamuddin told the youth.

During the press conference at the KLIA1, Hishamuddin said it was a lucky day for them as they managed to save two job scam victims this time round

He said that it is uncommon for them to be able to save victims from Myanmar, and it is even harder to rescue them if they have already been captured and taken away.The secretary-general thanked Wong, the Thailand police force, the Malaysian embassy stationed in Thailand, and the representatives of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (ATIPSOM 2007) for their efforts and cooperation in helping to bring the two victims back to Malaysia.Wong also spoke at the press conference, promising to bring more job scam victims back to Malaysia.

M'sian Dad Compares Local Standard 1 Syllabus VS His Son's Homework In US

A Malaysian parent living in the US has taken to comparing his seven-year-old son's homework with the Standard One syllabus that is being taught back home

Facebook user Saif Suhairi took to his personal page on Monday, 17 October, after it was reported that primary school teacher Mohd Fadli Salleh was sent a disciplinary letter by the Selangor state Education Department for calling attention to the difficulty of the curriculum being taught in primary schools.Saif said he wanted to show the differences between the study material and education system in the US and Malaysia so that his followers could make their own decisions about what is best for their children.

He first explained that his son is in Grade One in the US, which is for children aged six to seven and equivalent to Malaysia's Standard One

"On the left is our country's syllabus that I took from Mohd Fadli's Facebook post, where Standard One students already need to memorise the six times table," the father showed.He then compared that with Grade One homework in the US, which shows his son tracing letters and numbers "like four-year-olds in kindergarten", the father described."Is this good or not? Now it looks too slow instead, right? This is where I'm on the fence," he confessed.The dad further explained that students in the US only learn multiplication when they enter Grade Three."This is really slow. But [the curriculum] here starts to pick up in middle school and high school. I think maybe it's because the schools here allow primary school students to play and learn to like school first."He added that if there are students who are quick learners, the schools do prepare advanced classes for them, and there are many other programmes for students of different learning abilities.

Saif went on to compare his son's school life to that of primary school students back in Malaysia, including the long-term issues of heavy schoolbags and overcrowded classrooms

He said, "There are no books to bring home. The students leave them in their desks. They only bring home a Dell laptop (each student is given one), and some files for their homework. Their classwork is usually only done on pieces of paper, such as in my photo."Meanwhile, he said there are usually only 20 students in a class, at most 25."And every class will have a teacher and a teaching assistant. The teacher will focus on teaching and the assistant will help the students further understand, hand out papers, and ask the students to behave. The teacher can teach calmly and focus on the students' progress."

Regardless of the comparisons, the parent opined that the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Malaysia has to find an effective syllabus and commit to it

"Our policies keep changing every time our government changes. This is not good for the education of our generation," he said.He also voiced his support for the primary school teacher who brought up the issue of education in the country, saying, "The important thing is, we need to support, not cancel, people that are thinking critically."Meanwhile, according to Malay Mail, as of Tuesday, 18 October, the MOE has cleared teacher Mohd Fadli of all offences he was accused of when pointing out flaws in the education system.

In June, Mohd Fadli voiced his concerns over the national primary school syllabus that has been too difficult for students to grasp:

Senior Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin said that the ministry will look into the matter.

Army Sergeant Father Admits To Beating His Daughter With Belt Hours Before She Died

Army sergeant father of a nine-year-old girl, who died early Thursday morning in Port Dickson, has confessed to using his military-issued belt to beat her until she lost consciousness

The 38-year-old father, who is currently on a seven-day remand along with his wife, admitted to Port Dickson police about physically abusing his daughter.According to a report in The Star Online, which quoted Officer in Charge of Police District (OCPD), Port Dickson, Superintendent Zainudin Ahmad, the father told the police that he used his military-issued belt to beat his daughter hours before she died. "He also admitted to kicking and stepping on the girl till she urinated. The suspect claimed that he had hit the victim with a plastic chair too," The Star Online quoted Superintendent Zainudin as saying, adding that police have seized the evidence.

A post-mortem conducted on the nine-year-old, Nur Aina Nabihah, had revealed that she suffered severe internal injuries, including kidneys, ruptured intestines and fractures on both left and right ribs

Superintendent Zainudin, while speaking to NST Online, said that the girl was abused by her own father and stepmother at their house in Taman Vista Jaya."The victim died of kidney failure, ruptured intestines and her right and left ribs were broken believed to be bashed with a blunt object," NST Online quoted him as saying.

The army sergeant father had in past also abused his daughter

According to Superintendent Zainudin, police had picked up the father back in June 2017 following a report lodged by the victim's mother who had noticed swellings and abrasions on her daughter's body."The mother had picked up the victim and another child from her ex-husband's house and was shocked to see swellings on the victim's body."We then questioned the father and he had admitted to hitting the victim. However, he apparently did this to educate their child," Superintendent Zainudin was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

While the case was referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor, he subsequently decided in July that no further action would be taken

The Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) had reportedly decided that the father, who had the custody of his daughter, needs no further action against him on the grounds that he carried out the beating for disciplinary purposes to educate the girl, The Malay Mail Online reported Superintendent Zainudin as saying.

On the other hand, the father's 70-year-old mother cannot believe that her granddaughter had been abused to death by her son

According to a report in Bernama, the grandmother, Jara Bibi Sultan Mohammad, claimed that her son was "still humane" despite being a strict man."He is firm only when it comes to educating (his children) but not to the extent of breaking their bones like how the media had portrayed."Indeed, he does cane (his children) in order to teach them. He is a soldier, a strict person but would never abuse let alone kill them," she told Bernama.

Port Dickson OCPD Superintendent Zainudin said that the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder

UTCs Will Close By 7pm Beginning 2019 And Najib Isn't Happy About It

Urban Transformation Centres (UTCs) across Malaysia will close by 7pm daily beginning 1 January 2019

The Star reported that UTCs will be open from 8am to 7pm beginning next year. Previously, the centres operate up to 10pm. They will remain closed on state and federal public holidays.UTCs were a Barisan Nasional government initiative to put various government departments in one place to improve service to Malaysians.

Image via Kosmo

Friday prayers and break time of UTCs vary across states

The break hours are the following:- Peninsular Malaysia: 12.15pm to 2.45pm,- Sabah and Labuan: 11.30am to 2pm,- Sarawak:        11.45am to 2pm.

The new UTC operating hours were not well-received by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak

"We (the previous government) knew many people who were working would not be able to get time off for personal matters at UTCs," Najib wrote in a Facebook post last night, referring to the previous UTC closing time of 10pm. "Thousands of people visit UTCs daily outside of working hours," he added.

Image via The Malaysian Insight

Najib went on to criticise the shortened operating hours of UTCs beginning 2019. "Very good. From making lives easier for the people, now (you're) making their lives hard for official matters," the former premier wrote."Might as well just shut it down," he added.

Malaysian Men Share Their Funniest Horror Stories About Periods

1. "I had to buy pads for my sister at the kedai runcit alone"

Image via Tenor

"When I was around 12, I was home alone with my older sister. She got her period unexpectedly and there weren't any pads in the house so she told me to go to the kedai runcit to buy a pack for her. It's not a big deal now, but at the time I was mortified. Staring at all the different types of pads. So many colours, so many sizes, so much confusion. I felt like everyone was staring at me. I wanted to turn into a cabbage and disappear."- CY, 27.

2. "I woke up in a bloody crime scene"

Image via Giphy

"One morning I got out of bed and there was blood everywhere. I thought I was dying. My wife woke up from all my panicking and that's when we realised she'd got her period during the night and it had stained the bed. She went to take a shower while I put the sheets in the wash and tried to scrub the mattress. Man, it is not easy being a woman."- Suresh, 29.

3. "My daughter gave me a birthday card decorated with a special 'sticker' hahaha"

"On my birthday I woke up to my favourite home-cooked breakfast from the wifey and a handmade card from my 5-year-old daughter. The card had a special 'sticker' on it.It was a pad. My daughter stuck a pad on my birthday card lol. She asked me if I liked the 'GIANTEST STICKURRR IN THE WOOOORLD' so of course I said I did! Not really a horror story, but definitely the funniest period-related story I have!"- Jeremy, 35.

4. "She... bled on me"

Image via Wifflegif

"Hmmm... let's just say, my wife and I were having lots of fun. Then we turned on the lights. And it stopped being fun. Hahahahaha. It happens, man. She felt really bad about it but honestly it didn't bother me. I was just worried that I hurt her or something. It's kinda icky but nothing we can't clean up and laugh over later."- David, 31.

5. "They called me 'muka pad' for the rest of the year"

Image via Planet Tapperass edited by SAYS

"During recess at school I noticed two girls were acting weird. Like one was walking right behind another girl, trying to hide something. So me, being young and dumb, started to kacau them - trying to see what they were hiding. The girl in the back got so angry, out of nowhere she threw an unopened pad at my face. That got me the nickname 'muka pad' for the rest of the year."- Ashraf, 24.

6. "Never ask a lady if she's fasting during Ramadan, it's just not necessary"

Image via Imgur

"It was Ramadan and my whole family was gathered at my grandparents' house for buka. There's this one uncle that means well but is kinda annoying. He's going around asking all the kids 'puasa tak?' The teens are all fasting, except for one of my cousins who replies that she's not. The uncle keeps asking why she's not fasting, saying she's a big girl and should be fasting etc. I was about to step in when my cousin, who was around 11 or 12, just deadpan says to his face, "I'm bleeding from my vagina." The uncle was super embarrassed and apologised to her, and now she's my hero."- Din, 20.

7. "Schoolgirls ganged up on me after I made fun of a girl who had a wet patch at her butt"

Image via The Odyssey

"I made fun of my classmate because she had like a wet patch on her butt. I thought she peed herself. I thought it was funny. But instead of my class laughing with me, the girls like ganged up on me instead! Evil looks and some insults. Scared the crap out of me.Girls who have each other's backs are seriously unstoppable. I felt really ashamed for teasing that first girl after that :( "- Hemi, 23.

8. "I told my friend to stop 'perioding' so we could go swimming"

Image via Rebel Circus

"My best friend is a girl and during school holidays we planned to go swimming. But the day we were supposed to go, she called me to say she couldn't because she had her period. I thought she was making excuses not to hang out with me because I assumed girls could just stop 'perioding'. You know, kinda the same way peeing works. Anyway, we got into a stupid fight and I complained to my mum, who sat me down and explained everything properly. I almost lost my best friend because I didn't know how periods work!" - KC, 21.

9. "Someone stuck a pad under my car windshield wiper"

Image via Gifer

"Why? Why would someone do this?! I went to the mall with friends. And when I went back to my car, there was a pad under my car windshield wiper. It was opened but not used. But seriously. Why. I AM SURE IT WAS A GUY THAT DID THIS. Women wouldn't waste a pad like that. Stupid idiot. Was it supposed to be a prank?! I had to pull it out and throw it away. Wasting pads!"- Andrew, 25.

10. "I thought boys got their periods too, so I wore a pad to be prepared"

Image via Giphy

"I have four older sisters and grew up surrounded by pads and knowing about periods. But what they didn't think to explain to me is that only girls and women get periods, not boys. I'd seen how period blood sometimes leaked through my sisters' pants and how embarrassed they were about it. So I thought I would prepare myself by wearing a pad in case I got my period. I was 9 years old at that time. Anyway, one of my sisters realised what was happening and she was so kind about it. She just laughed and gave me a big hug, then went on to explain I didn't have to worry about getting a period, and to only be supportive when the women in my life did."- Aris, 29.

He warned that the road shoulders from the Petronas petrol station near the airport towards the terminals are not "waiting spots"

The Selangor police chief commissioner said that the police would no longer compromise with motorists who parked their vehicles by the roadside, adding that the police has been issuing up to 30 summonses a day for traffic obstruction."We found most vehicles were stopping by the roadside near the fuel station to wait for the arrival of passengers before going to the klia2 and KLIA terminals to pick them up. Some motorists even parked their vehicle illegally," theSundaily quoted him as saying.

Motorists who defy the orders will be issued an RM300 summons

Mazlan said that while the management of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) has provided a car park that is equipped with lounge area, surau and eateries, people are still turning road shoulders into illegal waiting areas."We will no longer compromise (with this) and an RM300 summons will be issued to defiant motorists. Police would tow the vehicles of the defiant motorists and impose compounds when they come to claim their vehicles," he added.

In addition to the stern police action, CCTV cameras are being installed around the area to identify the stubborn road users

"We will monitor the traffic situation through the closed circuit television (CCTV) and if needed, we will dispatch our traffic personnel to the scene to take action against these traffic offenders," Mazlan was quoted as saying.

MAHB is now providing free parking at the side of the Long Term Car Park (LTCP), or 30 minutes free parking inside the LTCP

Singapore Executed A Sarawakian Man The Malaysian Government Was Trying To Save

Michael Anak Garing, the Sarawakian man who was on death row in Singapore for murder, has been executed earlier today, 22 March

Malaysiakini reported that Michael was hanged in the Changi Prison this morning. According to News Straits Times, the Sarawakian's execution was confirmed by the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore.

"His remains are expected to (be sent to) Sibu tomorrow, before being returned to his hometown in Kapit," a spokesman for the High Commission was quoted as saying by New Straits Times."We are currently assisting Michael's family members who are here," the spokesman added.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had told a press conference on Wednesday, 20 March, that the government was attempting to save Michael from the gallows

Michael's family had also filed a clemency petition to the President of Singapore to have his sentence commuted to life in prison. Following his execution, Michael's parents, Ensiring Anak Garman and Garing Anak Kanyan, are reportedly devastated by the news."I still do not want to believe (it) despite being told the sentence has been carried out," Michael's relative, who wished not to be named, told New Straits Times.

Michael was convicted of murder in 2015 by the Singapore High Court

He had been involved in a robbery on Kallang Road in May 2010, which led to the death of a 41-year-old construction worker. Three other victims were severely injured.Meanwhile, another accused, Tony Imba, was sentenced to life in prison with 24 strokes of the cane; while Hairee Landak received 33 years and 24 strokes of the cane.Donny Meluda, another suspect, was eventually arrested after being on the run for over six years. He was also sentenced to 33 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane.

As Malaysians made their daily commute in the city, they not only encountered those cheerful riders, but managed to snag themselves some surprise goodies too, woohoo!

At about 11am, promoters stationed by a Maybank kombi truck parked outside Starhill Gallery began handing out bags filled with all kinds of snacks and exclusive vouchers to the delight of passersby in the area. What's special about the freebies is that the cute tote bag is designed by a brilliant local illustrator, Marissa Voo or moodoodles, as she's known on Instagram. Plus, all the yummy snacks inside the bag were proudly made by merchants from Maybank's Sama-Sama Lokal initiative. How cool is that? :DFrom D.Mas King's durian truffle popcorn to RJ Chipstore's salted egg chips, and classic murukku from Ang Ang Cookies, the tote bag was filled with an intriguing selection of snacks that would make any person receiving them crack a smile, heheh.  If you managed to snag a tote bag for yourself, don't forget to tag @mymaybank on Instagram, or @lalamovemy if you took a selfie with one of the friendly riders.

The Homeless Can Now Freshen Up On Shower Buses Thanks To Google's Generosity

Google has donated RM318,000 to refurbish an old bus into a place where the homeless can shower

RM318,000 has been donated to set up shower buses for the homeless
Image via wsj.net

An old public bus in San Francisco has been converted into a portable shower station to provide hygienic bathrooms to the homeless.

        time.com

The tech giant accused of driving up rents – the one at the center of a lawsuit against San Francisco for private buses that use public stops – gifted $100,000 to Lava Mae, a San Francisco nonprofit that just rolled out a shower bus for the homeless.

        washingtonpost.com

San Francisco nonprofit Lava Mae just unveiled a trial version of a bus that provides showers for the 6,400 homeless people who live in the city by the Bay. It was funded in large part by a grant from Google, which gave the project $100,000 as part of its Google Impact Challenge.

        mashable.com

The refurbished bus contains two bathrooms, equipped with soap, shampoo, towels and music

The retrofitted municipal bus includes two private showers — and music. Soap, shampoo, toilets and towels are free.

        washingtonpost.com

The nonprofit bought and refurbished a public transit bus at a cost of $75,000, thanks to that Google money; it boasts two bathrooms with free hot showers, shampoo, soap and towels.

        mashable.com

The cost of fixing the bus up to include showers, two private bathrooms and toiletries was provided by private donations, including some from Google.

This mobile shower will help the homeless be clean so that they can have a better chance to go for job interviews and feel better about themselves

Having a shower enables the homeless to feel better and increases the chance of them applying for job interviews.

Lava Mae founder Doniece Sandoval, a marketing veteran and recent transplant to San Francisco, said such a mobile sanitary station was essential for the "human rights" of the city's homeless population, and would help lift them up out of what often seems like a hopeless situation.

        mashable.com

“If you’re homeless, you’re living on the streets and you’re filthy, you’re trying to improve your circumstances, but you can’t interview for a job, you can’t apply for housing and you get disconnected from your sense of humanity,” Doniece Sandoval, Lava Mae’s founder, told the AP. “So a shower just in of itself is amazing for people.”

A Man In China Has Been Jailed For 7 Years For... Watching A Film!

A man named Eli Yasin, from Chaghraq township in Aksu Prefecture in the far western Chinese region of Xinjiang, has been jailed for 7 years for watching a film that is said to be "politically sensitive"

The man, who is an ethnic Uighur, had watched a film on Muslim migration and was possibly "planning to go abroad to wage jihad", Radio Free Asia reported while citing local officials. While details about the specific film he and his family members had watched are unclear, it led to his arrest last year.Uighurs are a predominantly Muslim Turkic minority. However, they are the majority population in Xinjiang and have long complained of discrimination and marginalisation by the Chinese state, The Washington Post reported.

However, his family circumstances argued against their having had such a plan — 'to wage jihad', reported Radio Free Asia who spoke with Hesen Eysa, the security chief for the jailed man's village

“All of them were over 40 years of age,” Eysa said. “They had a farm, and they were struggling to survive and provide for their children’s education."“They showed no signs of opposing the government.  At least I never saw any signs of this,” he said.“As a security chief, I am having a hard time explaining these charges to the people in my village.”“None of this makes any sense. It is very unjust,” he said.

        rfa.org

And I used to think what my father did to me was unjust when he would punish me by locking me inside the washroom for a day if he found out I had sneaked out of the house to go watch a movie

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) merupakan pengendali kereta api utama di Semenanjung Malaysia. Dahulunya ia dikenali sebagai sebuah agensi di bawah Pentadbiran Keretapi Tanah Melayu. Kini, ia dikenali sebagai KTMB berikutan kesan kempen pengkorporatan yang diterajui kerajaan pada tahun 1992. Sejarah sistem gerabaknya bermula sewaktu zaman penjajahan British, apabila laluan kereta api asalnya dibina untuk mengangkut timah.

Ingin Tempat Mengadu? Jangan Cari Bomoh. 5 Individu Ini Lebih Layak.

Baru-baru ini, terdapat satu kes dimana seorang gadis berusia 22 tahun meminta khidmat bomoh untuk kembalikan daranya. Tetapi akhirnya dia dirogol bomoh tersebut.

Bagi mengelakkan perkara ini terjadi lagi, kami senaraikan 5 individu selain bomoh, yang anda patut jumpa bagi meminta khidmat nasihat sekiranya anda mempunyai masalah dalam hubungan cinta:

1. Ibu anda

Siapa yang lebih mengenali kita selain daripada ibu kita sendiri? Ibu lah yang membesarkan kita dan menjaga kita dari kecil.Walaupun ditimpa apa-apa masalah sekalipun, mereka tidak akan judge mahupun terus menghukum kita. Mungkin dalam sesuatu situasi, mereka akan marah dahulu tetapi lama kelamaan kemarahan itu akan reda.Ibu mana yang tak sayangkan anak mereka bukan? Jadi mereka lah tempat yang paling sesuai untuk kita luahkan masalah.

2. Adik-beradik yang rapat

Adik-beradik juga boleh menjadi tempat mengadu. Walaupun kadang-kadang bergaduh atau bertengkar, air yang dicincang tidak akan putus. Selepas ibu bapa. adik beradik lah yang paling boleh dipercayai daripada orang lain.Mereka mungkin lebih memahami kita kerana mereka telah perhatikan kelakuan kita sejak dari kecil lagi.

3. Ahli keluarga lain seperti sepupu dalam lingkungan umur yang sama

Bagi anda yang tidak ada adik-beradik yang rapat, anda mungkin boleh mendapatkan khidmat nasihat daripada sepupu terdekat. Jadi, sebelum anda pergi jumpa bomoh, cuba berkongsi masalah cinta dengan sepupu dahulu dan tanyakan pendapat atau nasihat daripada mereka.

4. Kawan yang memang mengenali anda dan anda percayai

Sesetengah orang tak berapa selesa nak bercakap dengan ibu bapa dan keluarga tentang cinta dan masalah. Jadi, kawan baik lah orang yang akan dicari kerana kadang-kadang mereka lebih memahami kita.Tak kiralah sama ada kawan baik yang sama jantina atau tidak. Sebab ada masanya kawan baik yang berlainan jantina itulah yang lebih membantu memberi nasihat kerana mereka nampak sesuatu dari perspektif yang berbeza.

5. Kaunselor atau orang yang lebih matang dan berpengalaman

Kalau dah tak ada orang sangat nak cerita pasal masalah kita, gunakan khidmat kaunselor atau cari orang yang lebih berpengalaman. Apabila anda berkongsi masalah dengan mereka yang lebih berpengalaman, mereka dapat membantu menyelesaikan masalah yang anda hadapi.

Pengajaran paling penting, jangan jumpa bomoh langsung!
