"Masa itu kami sekeluarga berkumpul di rumah untuk makan malam bersama. Lepas habis makan malam itu, tinggal saya dengan Effa je di meja makan. Tiba-tiba dia beritahu saya dia nak start pakai tudung dan mula belajar makeup sebab dia dapat naik pangkat dekat tempat kerja dia," katanya kepada Mstar.Gara-gara hasratnya itu, Danial yang mengaku bahawa dia sebagai adik yang paling rapat dengan kakaknya itu, terus tidak melepaskan peluang untuk membuat transformasi kepada kakaknya.

Kata Danial, "Saya sebagai adik yang paling rapat, saya gembiralah dengan berita itu dan terus offer untuk solekkan dia. Sebenarnya dah lama saya teringin nak mekap muka dia. Jadi bila hati dah terbuka untuk disolek, saya pun tak lepaskan peluanglah."

Hasil solekan Danial, kakaknya kelihatan sangat menawan. Bahkan ramai yang memuji tindakan Danial dan mengagumi perubahan penampilan kakak kesayangannya, Effa.

Bukan itu sahaja, Effa sendiri terkejut melihat wajahnya selepas disolek."Seperti wanita lain, Effa pernah berambut panjang sehinggalah dia bekerja sebagai security trainer, baru dia memotong rambut pendek sebab dia rimas kalau bekerja dengan rambut panjang lebih-lebih lagi untuk seorang yang bersaiz besar. Effa juga sering mengadu nasib menjadi bahan ketawa rakan-rakan kerana merasakan mempunyai kekurangan saiz fizikal.

"Pada awalnya reaksi Effa habis mekap, dia cakap 'susahnya nak mekap macam perempuan ni', almaklumlah first time. Kalau nak tahu, bedak bayi itulah makeup, foundation, dan segala-galanya bagi dia! Tapi tak sangka tiba-tiba dia sebak tengok diri dalam cermin. Mungkin sebab dia tak yakin dengan diri dia lebih-lebih lagi bila ramai yang herdik dan kutuk sebab saiz badan dia begitu," ujar Danial."Apabila saya tunjuk muka kakak selepas disolek pada mak, dia pun terkejut dan menangis tengok wajah kakak sebab dia sendiri tak pernah tengok muka kakak dirias sebegitu," jelasnya yang turut menyifatkan Effa sebagai seorang wanita yang agak kasar, lasak dan nampak 'ganas'.

This Is The Real Reason Why Johor Sultan Respectfully Declined To Be The Next Agong

Yesterday, 14 October, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail of Johor "respectfully declined the offer" to be the next Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. According to media reports, the reason Johor Sultan turned down the offer was that he wanted to focus on his state affairs.

Image via Bernama via The Malay Mail Online

But the real reason why Johor Sultan rejected the offer to become the next Agong has nothing to do with him focusing on his state

Refuting the claims about preferring to focus on Johor, the monarch's official FB page issued a statement clarifying that the Sultan of Johor declined the offer "because he wants to strictly adhere to the rotation system set by the Conference of Rulers."

"Under this time-tested succession pattern, the sultan of Kelantan is next in line, followed by the sultan of Pahang," read the statement

"Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar respects and understands the rule of succession by rotation and wishes to abide by this," read the statement on Sultan Ibrahim's FB page.

Following which, the country's Conference of Rulers elected the Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V, as the next Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who will serve a five-year term from 13 December

Meanwhile, the Johor Sultan's respect for tradition and his reason to strictly adhere to it has won over the hearts of the people:

China Press reported that the incident occurred at around 2am outside a coffee shop near Hougang Ci Yuan Community Club in Singapore. The peculiar video has garnered nearly 14,000 retweets at the time of writing.

In a series of Instagram Stories uploaded by "lucasohhh", the recorder-wielding man had fought another man prior to his 'performance'

The other man was attempting to throw a potted plant at him while they continued yelling at each other. The duo can be seen swinging their 'weapons' in the other person's direction for some time.

Image via Mothership

A witness told China Press that the men started arguing with each other but did not seem to understand what the other person was saying."The recorder-wielding man started pushing the other one first, causing the latter to fall on a potted plant. Then the potted plant was lifted and waved in his face," the witness said.

Following the arrival of local police, the man started performing in front of them with his recorder

The man, believed to be intoxicated, was holding on to a liquor bottle while playing his recorder in front of police officers. Five police cars had arrived at the scene of the 'performance'.

"Lucasohhh" wrote in his Instagram Stories that the man was eventually arrested after being tackled by police officers.

How To Know If You Should Declare Your Food Items When You're Bringing Them Overseas

Going through airport security can be time-consuming, even more so if you get held back at a checkpoint for carrying food items that have not been declared or are prohibited from bringing into a country you've just arrived at

Image via Singapore Business Review

At best, your foodstuff could end up getting thrown in the trash. In more serious cases, failure to declare your food items might result in additional screening and/or hefty fines and penalties, especially if they are found to be banned from a country as that could be considered smuggling.

First things first, why are passengers required by law to declare the food items they are bringing onboard and into a particular country they are travelling to?

While pre-packaged and processed foods are generally admissible, some countries may place restrictions, quarantines, or additional certification when it comes to bringing in fresh food such as fruits, meats, or other agricultural products depending on the region or country you are travelling from. According to the US Customs and Borders Protection, restrictions on food imports are placed on these products "to protect community health, preserve the environment, and prevent the introduction of devastating diseases to domestic plants and animals".

Those travelling to countries like the US and Canada are required to declare all food products, while other countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand only require you to declare your goods if it's on the restricted or banned list

Image via The Washington Post

If you are unsure about the food products you are bringing in, the best course of action is to speak to a customs officer and have it declared anyway. In the event that the food items are indeed banned or restricted, they will be seized and/or destroyed and no further action will be taken against you.

The condition for declaring foodstuff may differ between countries, as well as the list of admissible and - in specific cases - restricted or banned food items. Here are some examples:

1. Malaysia

Image via SAYS

Under the provision of the Customs Act 1967, travellers entering Malaysia are required to declare all dutiable or prohibited goods in their possession. In the case of bringing in food and drink, duty exemption only applies for alcoholic beverages (e.g. wine, spirit, malt, liquor) not exceeding 1 litre and prepared food with a total value that does not exceed RM75. Most foodstuff are generally admissible aside from those outlined in Quarantine Boards upon arrival in Malaysia. Fresh fruits like mangoes, mangosteens, bananas, as well as citrus fruits like oranges, limes, and lemons are not permitted unless you have an import permit and phytosanitary certificate.At the time of writing, several agricultural products from Thailand including ginger, turmeric (kunyit), potato, yam bean, taro, sweet potato, lemongrass, kaffir leaf, ground nuts, bird's eye chillies (cili padi), and greater galangal (lengkuas) are also not permitted unless you have an import permit and phytosanitary certificate.Source: Royal Malaysian Customs Exemption

2. Singapore

However, a phytosanitary certificate from the country's competent authority is required for fresh fruits and vegetables from Mexico and the South America.(d) Eggs- Hen eggs only, with a maximum of 30 eggs, from Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden. (e) Processed food items- All food products excluding meat, seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables from all countries and regions, with a maximum of 5kg or 5 litres, with a total value not exceeding SGD100 per person. - Cleaned dried bird’s nest, a maximum of 1kg with no restriction in total value.If you have doubts about the food items in your possession, you are advised to refer to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers. If you wish to bring in larger quantities of food products, you are required to register with the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and apply for an import permit.

3. Japan

Travellers who are bringing plant and plant products such as fruits, vegetables, and seeds or animals and animal-based products such as eggs, milk, and meat items are required to submit their goods for inspection at the Plant and Animal Quarantine counter with relevant documentation or certification (e.g. phytosanitary certificate) from the country the goods were purchased from. Fruits and vegetables from certain countries or regions are actually prohibited from entry for fear of introducing pests to the agriculture in Japan, including avocados, kiwi fruits, and citrus fruits. Check out the full list of prohibited items here.Highly-processed food items such as canned or bottled products, candy, and chocolate are not required to undergo import inspection.

4. South Korea and Thailand

Travellers are required to declare agricultural, forest, livestock and fishery products such as animals (including meat products and leather), plants, fruits, vegetables, and live aquatic products upon arrival. Do note that some plants and animals, as well as products made from such, may be subject to restrictions and quarantine if and when required. Source: Korea Customs Service and Tourism Thailand.

5. Australia

Australia takes biosecurity pretty seriously, as some animals and plants as well as its products could introduce damaging pests and diseases into Australia's agriculture. Hence, all travellers are required to declare for inspection all food, plant material, and animal products on arrival in Australia to ensure that they are free of pests and diseases. You can refer to the comprehensive list of examples here. Source: Australian Government and Department of Agriculture and Water Resources of Australia

6. UK

The list of food items you can bring into the UK depends on whether you're travelling from within or outside the European Union (EU). If travelling from within the EU, you are allowed to bring in any fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, or other animal products such as fish, eggs, and honey.However, if travelling from outside the EU, you are not permitted to bring meat, meat products, milk, dairy products, or potatoes into the UK unless you are coming from Iceland, Faroe Islands, or Greenland. Even so, there is a 10kg limit on the aforementioned items.

You can also bring in eggs, egg products, and honey with a limit of 2kg in total. Fish is also permitted, as long as they are fresh and gutted, cooked, cured, dried, or smoked and weighs up to 20kg in total or only one fish, whichever is the heaviest. Source: GOV.UK

7. US

Travellers are required to declare ALL food products upon arrival in the US.According to the US Customs and Borders Protection website, prepared, pre-packaged, and processed foods including but not limited to condiments, oils, candy and chocolate, baked goods, cheese, canned and dried products, seafood, nuts, honey, noodles and rice as well as beverages like milk, canned juices, and packaged teas are generally admissible, as long as they do not contain meat products and/or come from a restricted country/region.The admissibility of fruits and vegetables may be subject to approval from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, while animal products and its by-products such as eggs are either prohibited or restricted from entering the United States, depending on the types of animal diseases which occur in the country of origin.

Is Motherhood In Your Plans? Here Are Some Important Things You Should Know

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Prudential.

March is the month that women around the world are celebrated for their achievements, culminating in International Women's Day on 8 March

Women play many roles that continue to evolve to this day, that's for sure. Traditionally, the social role of women meant being the lady of the house and caring for their family, as well as the children they were expected to have. Now, many of them aren't confined to conventional values. From career prospects to personal ambition and lifestyle choices, women are more empowered to live how they want to compared to many of their mothers and grandmothers.

For those who want children, forming a family may come later in life, a study reported by Forbes suggests, citing factors like financial and emotional readiness

Image via NPR

In Malaysia, raising a child until the age of 17 can cost from RM393,000 to RM1.3 million according to a 2020 cover story by The Edge.

If motherhood is in your plans, here are some things to consider:

1. Pregnancy looks different for everyone

Image via @sickhews (Unsplash)

Your goals and wants when you are in your 20s naturally progress as you hit certain milestones in life, where the focus may steer towards the topic of family. After all, there are less commitments to think about when you're young and just getting started. Plus, hitting your 30s is usually a time when you're more confident and established, be it personally or professionally. Since having a baby in your 20s can look different than your 30s, it is worth understanding some risks of getting pregnant at an older age. Women above 35, for example, may be more likely to experience complications with their pregnancy, which include preterm births and chromosomal abnormalities, compared to mothers in their 20s and early 30s, a study found.

2. Being emotionally prepared is important

Image via @joshuachun (Unsplash)

Research suggests that maturity plays a role in better parenting. In a study conducted by the University of California, San Francisco, researchers found that most participants felt they were more emotionally prepared for parenthood later in life or in their 30s.

3. Financial planning is key

Image via @mimithian (Unsplash)

This allows you to secure an education fund for your children as well as a retirement fund for you and your partner. Finance-wise, proper protection for your baby can come even before you give birth.For example, insurance companies like Prudential have plans that provide protection from 13 weeks of pregnancy until the baby turns 100 years old, which many loving parents see as the best first gift they can give their child.

4. Each child is unique — there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting

Image via @daen_2chinda (Unsplash)

No matter how many kids you decide on having, it is worth bearing in mind no two children are the same. Similarly, your style of parenting does not have to be 'perfect' when it comes to raising them.Priorities may vary for different families too. Some parents may only want one child, so they can pour all their love and attention into raising them well. Meanwhile, things like congenital health issues, such as heart defects, can mean that some babies may need more care than others. Also, keep in mind that every child's development progress is different.Thankfully, certain prenatal plans protect even before birth, providing parents the support they need, including financial assistance should any medical or child development issues arise.

Regardless of when you choose to be a parent, Prudential would like to be a part of your journey, supporting you, your child, and family

Image via Prudential (Provided to SAYS)

Prudential has launched an enhanced protection solution, PRUMy Child Plus, a comprehensive prenatal plan that protects mother and baby from as early as 13 weeks of pregnancy to give mums and parents a peace of mind through this journey.The coverage also grows with your child until they reach 100 years of age, and can be bought for adopted children as long as you are their legal guardian.

Here's a look at the benefits parents can expect with PRUMy Child Plus:

1. PRUMy Child Plus covers nine pregnancy complications with coverage up to RM8,000 so you can have peace of mind when preparing for labour in advance or seeking support during your pregnancy2. Rest assured, you will be cared for during your delivery journey, and in case of an emergency delivery before week 36 of gestation, you will be reimbursed up to RM8,0003. The plan also covers your baby if they are hospitalised due to 27 listed congenital conditions and all structural congenital conditions (such as cleft lip and heart defects) of up to RM50,000 yearly, until the age of seven 4. Parents can expect yearly support of up to RM8,000 for children diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and more, until the age of seven

Each plan comes with attachable high medical coverage that is guaranteed to automatically increase every year, covers critical illness, and more that protects the child up to 100 years of age

Image via @adroman (Unsplash)

Accidental coverage is also available, which protects the child up to 70 years of age.Want to add another layer of security for your child in case of rainy days? Parents can also set aside savings to grow their child's education fund with the PRUSaver Kid rider and Parent Payor rider.

All in all, Prudential wants to send a message to all the awesome Malaysian women that, no matter what you choose and what you do, they will always be supporting you, every step of the way <3

Here's Why E-Hailing Services May Cost More And Take Longer To Book From 12 July Onwards

Fares for e-hailing services such as Grab and MyCar are expected to be higher as significantly fewer drivers will be working as of today, 12 July

In April, the Ministry of Transport formalised new regulations as part of the government's move to regulate the e-hailing industry and create a level playing field with taxis, New Straits Times reported.

Image via Reuters

Many drivers, particularly part-timers, have reportedly decided to opt out of meeting the requirements due to the lengthy processes and costs, which are estimated to be RM800

The Ministry of Transport's requirements:1. Obtain a public service vehicle (PSV) licence (which includes a six hour-long training module, background screenings, and medical checkups);2. Obtain passenger insurance;3. Obtain an e-hailing sticker;4. Obtain an e-hailing vehicle permit (EVP) from the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD),5. Get initial and annual vehicle checks at Puspakom centres;6. Contribute to Socso; and7. Equip their cars with safety gear, including fire extinguishers.

As the July deadline approached, customers were warned to expect more frequent dynamic pricing, depending on the location and time of day, such as during peak hours, rainy weather, or in secluded areas, Free Malaysia Today reported.In addition to pricing, e-hailing companies are reminding users to anticipate longer waiting times.

Despite being the biggest e-hailing operator in the country with about 200,000 active drivers, only 10% had reportedly obtained the PSV licence

"Grab, together with our driver-partners, have been working hard to comply with the regulatory requirements," Grab said in a statement on its website, revealing that it has sought to help drivers by covering some of the expenses incurred.

"However, with the possibility of fewer drivers on the road, you may experience an increase in dynamic fares, especially during peak hours and rainy weather," it read.It was estimated that, depending on the demand, those who are used to waiting for five minutes may now have to wait 10 minutes for their ride."We advise passengers to pre-plan their travel by making earlier bookings, especially if they have a flight to catch or need to attend an important event," a Grab spokesperson said, according to The Star.

Meanwhile, MyCar founder and director Mohd Noah Maideen said that only 400 of its drivers have obtained their PSV licence.
"I have no choice but to block those who are not ready from getting on the road," he said.

Image via Front Desk

MyCar, the second largest e-hailing operator, has about 30,000 active drivers.Mohd Noah urged the authorities to be lenient on enforcement, saying that many drivers were still going through the process to be PSV ready."Getting the PSV licence is one thing. The drivers will still not be allowed on the road until APAD issues them with the EVP document, which takes time," he said.He added that the e-hailing company will continue to get cabbies to join its platform in anticipation of a driver shortage.

In Malaysia, there are several e-hailing services to choose from:

Starting today, Grab passengers are also required to submit a selfie on the app:

                All Grab Passengers Will Have To Take A Selfie To Prove They Are Real From 12 July

It will be a one-time verification step for both existing and new passengers.

Tracking Of Government's Jet No Longer Available After Najib's Vacation In Australia

In an interesting turn of events, Malaysiakini reported that the government's Airbus Corporate Jet 319 with the registration number 9M-NAA can no longer be tracked on FlightAware

A screenshot of the information that pop ups when we inserted Putrajaya's Airbus Corporate Jet 139's registration number on FlightAware.
Image via FlightAware

What is FlightAware?FlightAware is the world's largest flight tracking data company which provides flight tracking solutions to more than 10,000 aircraft operators and service companies and over 12,000,000 passengers. They get their data from air traffic control systems in over 55 countries, FlightAware's network of ADS-B ground stations in more than 150 countries, the Aireon space-based global ADS-B, the global datalink (satellite/VHF) via every major provider, including ARINC, SITA, Satcom Direct, Garmin, Honeywell GDC, and UVdatalink.FlightAware provides everything from live flight data, airport delays, fuel prices, airline operational tools, weather maps, flight planning, flight routes, oceanic tracks, to navigation charts. It is a company that is privately held and is based in Houston, Texas and has offices in New York and Singapore. Can owners of airplanes request FlightAware to disable the public tracking of their aircraft?FlightAware also allows owners or operators of an airplane to disable public tracking. Malaysiakini had gotten in touch with FlightAware and they confirmed that they offer blocking services so long the request comes with the airplane's registration details. They also allow private tracking for owners of the aircraft that would ensure that only authorised users on their account will know their flight's activity. The general public will not be able to view it.

This comes just days after they published an article highlighting how the government jet trailed around Australia right when PM Najib Razak was holidaying there with his family

The last time the plane tracking data was available was on Tuesday, 3 January. 9M-NAA took off from Perth International Airport at 4.56pm local time and arrived at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah airport in Subang Jaya at 10.17pm.  According to Malaysiakini, that data was removed from FlightAware's site on 4 January.

On 31 December, Malaysiakini published an article tracking the movements of Airbus Corporate Jet 319 bearing the registration number 9M-NAA from 22 December till 31 December

Image via Instagram/Ashman Najib via Malaysiakini

It coincided with PM Najib Razak's son Mohd Norashman Najib's Instagram posts on the family's holiday in Australia.Based on the data from FlightAware, Malaysiakini came up with the chronology of 9M-NAA's movements, matching it up with Norashman's Instagram posts: On 22 December 2016, 9M-NAA took off from the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah airport in Subang Jaya at 12.07am and landed in Gold Coast, Australia at 10.06am on the same day. The plane stayed in Gold Coast for less than two hours. It took off from there at 11.47am and landed in Brisbane at 12.09pm and was there for four days. On 23 December, when the plane was still in Brisbane, Norashman posted a photo on his Instagram account that showed him golfing, with the hashtag, "goldcoast". It said, "Golfing with bros in Aussie land".

Four days later, on 26 December, the government jet took off from Brisbane at 9.11am and landed in Gold Coast at 9.35am

Image via Instagram/Ashman Najib via Malaysiakini

The plane was only there for two hours and 47 minutes. It left Gold Coast at 12.22pm and arrived at Perth International Airport at 2.47pm and remained there till 3 January. In that period of time, Norashaman posted a few photos from Perth on his Instagram account.On 28 December, Malaysiakini spotted Norashman's photo on Instagram which shows him playing an electric guitar with the hashtag, 'Perth' and on 29 December, he posted another photo of him cycling with a few friends in Perth. The next day, on 30 December, he posted another photo of him playing golf, with the caption, "Trying to end 2016 in style", tagged "perth" and "meadowsprings".On the last day of the year, Norashman posted a photo of Najib and himself. It was captioned, "Last cycle of the year with my dearest father. Happy New Year in advance to all and wishing everyone a blessed 2017 filled with love, elation and laughter."

Car Chase Ends With A Wedding And Dead Child

In Ipoh, a police road block spotted highly wanted criminals and a high-speed car chase ensued

Kampar OCPD Supt Ng Kong Soon said the policemen were on duty at a road block along the Kampar-Gopeng road when they spotted the suspect in his car.
A high-speed chase followed, that ended at the wedding function in the village.

        thestar.com.my

Kampar police chief Superintendent Ng Kong Soon said police were on their crime-prevention rounds when the incident occurred. "The policemen on their rounds spotted that the Proton Persona was driven by someone who is high on our wanted list," he said.

        malaysiandigest.com

When he noticed the police, the suspect then accelerated before ploughing into the tent, added Ng.

A father could only watch in horror when a vehicle, which was being pursued by a police car, ploughed into them, killing his only son and injuring two other relatives.

        nst.com.my

T. Thenarasu, 24, said at the time of the incident at 11pm on Saturday, he, his wife and child were at a relative's wedding dinner at Kampung Kopisan, Gopeng.

        malaysiandigest.com

"We were sitting under a tent outside the house after the dinner. Suddenly, I saw the car, a Proton Persona, come charging at us. Things happened so fast I could not react," said the lorry assistant.

        nst.com.my

He berated the driver for his recklessness. "He continued driving on after ploughing into the tables and chairs," he said.

        malaysiandigest.com

Patrolmen chasing the suspect aborted their pursuit to help rush the victims to the Kampar Hospital, following the tragic 10pm incident at Kampung Baru New Kopisan in Gopeng, about 25km from here, on Saturday.

The lorry driver said a two-year-old boy was also injured and a 58-year-old woman broke her leg in the incident. Both have been warded at the hospital.

"Wolf Of Wall Street" Producer Reacts To Allegations That Its Financing Is Sourced To Embezzled Foreign Money

On Tuesday, 29 April 2014, the production house of Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland demanded that a Los Angeles Superior Court judge reject a racketeering claim made by Brad Krevoy and Steve Stabler, producers of the 1994 hit Dumb and Dumber.

        hollywoodreporter.com

According to Red Granite's demurrer motion, its legal adversaries have 21 days to withdraw the RICO claim -- which it says was brought "solely to harass Defendants, smear their reputations, and pressure Red Granite into settling the contractual dispute with them on favorable terms" -- and if that doesn't happen, Red Granite will be filing a motion for sanctions.

        hollywoodreporter.com

In March 2014, Producers Of 1994 Hit "Dumb And Dumber" Filed An Amended Complaint That Attacked Najib's Stepson Aziz And His Partner Over Investments From The Middle East And Asia

Brad Krevoy and Steve Stabler, producers of the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber, are suing production company Red Granite pictures for excluding them in the upcoming sequel to the hit comedy.

        ibtimes.co.uk

"Red Granite is funded with monies that include proceeds from offenses against a foreign nation that involve bribery of public officials, or misappropriation, theft, or embezzlement of public funds by a public official," the complaint reads.

        ibtimes.co.uk

"[Aziz and McFarland have] engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity, in that they have engaged in multiple financial transactions within the United States - including financing of 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and then separately financing Dumb and Dumber To...with knowledge that the transactions were designed to conceal the nature, location, source, ownership, or control of the proceeds of the illegal activity."

        hollywoodreporter.com

These events were shortly followed by the resignation of Red Granite’s most experienced and well-known staff member the Production President Joe Gatta.

Rosmah's Son Riza Aziz Dropped From "The Wolf Of Wall Street" Oscars

"The soaring Hollywood career of the PM’s stepson Riza Aziz has crashed back down to earth, with news from Los Angeles that the Academy Awards committee have decided to remove his name from the list of nominations for producer of the best film."

        sarawakreport.org

Riza’s partner in production firm Red Granite Pictures, Joey McFarland, remains on the list and was joined by director Martin Scorsese and lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who were added by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

        themalaymailonline.com

The move was seen as unusual as the Academy customarily accepts recommendations by the PGA for nominees, and is believed to stem from the former organisation’s rule that producers are those “who have performed the major portion of the producing functions.”

Aziz won’t be contesting the Academy’s decision and Red Granite just released a statement to Deadline: “We are thrilled  that the Academy has recognized the invaluable contributions of Marty, Leo, Joey and Emma on behalf of The Wolf Of Wall Street. Riza Aziz and Red Granite remain honored to be part of the production.”

Lawyers for the film and production house Red Granite Pictures sent Rewcastle Brown, who was barred from entering Malaysia last July, a five-page letter demanding that she retract her article.

The letter, by lawyer Sunny Brener, accused Rewcastle Brown of writing an “irresponsible, shoddy, malicious screed that was clearly concocted by a writer or writers (and/or editor or editors) intent on pressing a transparent, political agenda”.

How Did Rosmah's Son Afford A RM110 Million Penthouse And Bankroll A Major Hollywood Movie?

Riza Aziz, Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio and Joey McFarland at 'The Wolf of Wall Street' premiere in London.

Doing his own calculation based on his similar working experience, Rafizi Ramli said it was illogical for Rosmah Mansur's son Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz to afford a RM110 million penthouse in New York, and more so, bankroll a major Hollywood movie.

        yahoo.com

For sake of public interest, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's stepson should disclose the angel financiers behind his rise in Hollywood and how he is able to afford a RM110 million New York penthouse, PKR says.

        yahoo.com

"Knowing where the money comes from can (help clear) the public suspicion that the money comes from the family."

        yahoo.com

It was a concern to many Malaysians as people cannot otherwise comprehend how the families of public officials could live beyond their means, while they struggle with price hikes of basic goods.

Aziz, whose company is currently producing Martin Scorsese’s “Wolf of Wall Street,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, closed on the penthouse unit November 19, records show. The sellers were Peter Edward Chadney and Simone Cecile Von Graffenried Simperl, both residents of Switzerland. Neither of the parties could be reached for comment.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Was Urged To Investigate The Purchase

PKR vice-president and Batu MP Tian Chua said such lavish spending by Najib's family was proof they were living beyond their means and as such the MACC should take action, "There is all this evidence that the prime minister's family is clearly living beyond their means."

        themalaysianinsider.com

"We are quite surprised how the MACC can be so immune to all these problems, from Rosmah using a government jet and now this," he said, referring to Rosmah's use of the aircraft to attend a women's summit in Qatar recently, which caused a furore in Parliament.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The Commission Responded Stating That It Lacks The Power To Investigate Asset Ownership Beyond An Individual's Income

There is no law that allows for the commission to investigate asset ownership beyond an individual's income, said the commission in a statement.

        theedgemalaysia.com

"Although (investigations into) asset ownership beyond income is not the only function of MACC, MACC welcomes this to be included in a list of amendments to the MACC Act 2009 which are going to be brought to Parliament next year."

        theedgemalaysia.com

"The Revelation Is Shocking. At A Time When The People Are Struggling With The Cost Of Living, Some Are Splurging."

Tian Chua said, "Where did he (Riza Shahriz) get that much money? RM110 million is a lot.”

        malaysiandigest.com

Tian Chua also took MACC to task for its apparent failure to convict high-ranking Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders who have made headlines for alleged corruption.

"Paramount's 'Wolf', which cost $100 million to make, made a meager $18.5 million. The latter's performance was particularly disappointing as it was expected to challenge Warner Bros. tale of strife in Middle-earth for the top spot."

Penang High Court Drops Corruption Charges Against Lim Guan Eng

Former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng and businesswoman Phang Li Koon were granted full acquittal by the High Court earlier today, 3 September

Lim and Phang spoke to reporters outside the High Court earlier today.
Image via New Straits Times

The Star reported that High Court judge Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail acquitted both Lim and Phang earlier today, and decided the charges against the two be dropped. Lim and Phang have also been released immediately, and will not be called again for the case in future.

The prosecution initially proposed for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) under Section 254(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code

Malaysiakini reported that the proposal came after deputy public prosecutor Mohd Masri Daud agreed to withdraw all charges against Lim and Phang.However, lawyers of the defendants objected the request as it was "not right" to continue letting the case hang over Lim and Phang's heads. Phang's lawyer, V. Sithambaram argued that there was no reason for a DNAA since the Attorney-General's Chambers had decided to withdraw charges.

Hadhariah agreed with the defendants' lawyers, saying that the court could not afford to keep Lim and Phang's case pending. "The prosecution team is asking to withdraw it, but we can't allow you to do it either in instalments or in commas," Hadhariah said.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) expressed shocked over Lim and Phang's acquittal in a statement

"We are very shocked indeed with the court's decision to free Lim of his corruption charges and the prosecution's application to withdraw the case," MACC said in its statement issued soon after Lim and Phang's acquittal.MACC also stressed that the decision to withdraw the charges against the defendants was made by the Attorney-General's Chambers and not the MACC.

Lim and Phang were arrested and charged in 2016 for corruption

Lim was previously charged under the MACC Act and the Penal Code for abusing his power by converting state land from agriculture to commercial, as well as purchasing a bungalow below market price.The first offence, under Section 23 of the MACC Act, includes a minimum jail sentence of 20 years and a fine of five times the value of gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher.Under Section 165 of the Penal Code, Lim's second offence carries a maximum imprisonment of two years, a fine, and forfeiture of property.Free Malaysia Today reported that Phang, who sold the bungalow to Lim, was also arrested under Section 165 of the Penal Code for using Lim's position for gratification.

Here's a recap of Lim's corruption charges:

Primary School Teacher In Sarawak Arrested For Molesting His 10-Year-Old Student

A 37-year-old man was arrested yesterday, 2 October, for sexually assaulting two of his students. The victims are 10-year-old primary school boys.

According to a report by New Straits Times, the man was summoned to the Serian district police headquarters on Monday after the two boys lodged police reports against him. The suspect is a primary school teacher in Serian.

He had allegedly molested the first victim in May 2017.
The man had allegedly instructed the boy to go to the school's Student Affairs Department office and sexually assaulted him there.

"The suspect then locked the door and allegedly started molesting the victim. The second case happened in August 2017 when the second victim was brought into a storeroom at the same school."Once inside, the teacher allegedly tried to molest the pupil but was stopped by the boy, who then escaped and ran straight to his classroom," explained Sarawak Criminal Investigations Department chief Datuk Dev Kumar, as reported by the Borneo Post.

According to Dev Kumar, the students' parents claimed that they had previously reported the incidents to the school's administration but to no avail

It was only after they realised no action was taken against the suspect, that they decided to lodge police reports on the matter. "We have reason to believe there may be more victims," added Dev Kumar.The case is being investigated under Section 14(a), (b) and (d) of the Sexual Crimes Against Children Act 2017.

Calling Traffic Police 'Monkey' On Facebook Lends A 32-Year-Old Behind Malacca Bars

Harian Metro and other local Malay-language dailies are reporting that a car salesman was arrested by Malacca police at midnight after he described two traffic policemen as "monkey" on Facebook

Malacca Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner Raja Shahrom Raja Abdullah said the police detained the 32-year-old suspect at his house following a police report against him, and confiscated the mobile phone believed to have been used in the offending Facebook post.

        themalaymailonline.com

“A remand order on the suspect for three days has been issued to enable the police to investigate this case,” he was quoted saying yesterday by Berita Harian, with the daily also saying that the arrest was carried out by a team of police officers.

Here's A Look At How Iconic Childhood Snack Mamee Monster Has Evolved Over The Years

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

Growing up, one of the simple joys of life was getting our hands on our favourite snacks

Image via FMT

Remember how we used to shout and chase after the roti man on his bike to buy our favourite snacks? Or sneakily go to the kedai runcit with the little pocket money we had to chup some snacks and eat them while we watch our favourite cartoons on TV? Ahhhh, the good ol' days! If you were a 90s kid, you probably also remember watching cartoons and having ads of snacks like Mamee Monster popping up on TV. And that's when the cravings would hit, and you'd pester your parents to get you a pack during their grocery tips, hehe. Nowadays though, things are so different. Gen Z kids now get their snack recommendations from watching mukbang videos on YouTube or scrolling on social media.Nevertheless, whether you are a Gen Z or 90s kid, one thing's for sure. We all love and still can't get enough of the yummy, crunchy Mamee Monster snack!

While we're all familiar with Mamee Monster Noodle Snack, did you know this is how it used to look back in 1974? :O

Image via Mini Me Insights

The story of how Mamee Monster Noodle Snack was born goes back all the way to 1971 in Melaka. Initially known as 'Lucky', the company started off producing instant noodles and vermicelli.One day, as Tan Sri Pang Tee Chew was passing by a rubber-tapping estate, he noticed some children were snacking on instant noodles straight out of the packet, without cooking them. This is when the big idea popped into his head and he ran back to his father, Datuk Pang Chin Hin, to share this great discovery.Since then, this noodle snack has been one of Malaysia's favourite snacks to have, whether it's at birthday celebrations, school parties, or sleepovers. During balik kampung road trips, confirm the big-size pack of Mamee Monster was on standby in the car, since the journey would be prolonged due to traffic. Even our parents would munch on the noodle snack with us!

And, of course, you'd definitely recognise this cute and cuddly Mamee Monster, a.k.a the famous mascot for this beloved childhood snack

×

Mamee Monster has gone through a few design iterations over the years, but its round red nose and furry blue body are iconic for every Malaysian kid. Just like in this old Mamee Monster ad, most of us enjoyed crunching up the snack, adding the seasoning powder, and shaking them together in the packet, so that every bite would be well coated. And, it came in a variety of flavours like BBQ, Chicken, and Hot & Spicy. The best part was when the packets had small surprises like cool stickers, 3D puzzles, and toys. It was such a joy to collect them and compare what we got with our friends! This collectable toy, in particular, had images that would change when you tilted it in different directions. We found it so cool and were definitely mind-blown at how it worked when we were kids.

Image via mini UNBOXING (YouTube)

Anyone else obsessed with stickers during childhood? When smartphones and social media didn't exist, having a sticker book was one of the ways we made friends. How? By exchanging and comparing stickers with friends and acquaintances, of course. The funny thing was that we would place a higher value on the stickers that were either metallic, puffy, or furry. Those were exchanged with two or more normal stickers. Way to go, sistem barter!

Image via mini UNBOXING (YouTube)

Now, Mamee Monster has evolved with new packaging along with some new flavours

Image via Mamee Malaysia

As you can see, the Mamee Monster mascot has gotten a makeover and looks extra adorable now.Just last year, they introduced Mamee Monster Black Pepper, which is a great pick for those who love a good kick of spice.The noodle snack itself has pepper bits in it, and when paired with the seasoning, you'll get double the pepperiness to tickle your tastebuds.With so many flavours to choose from, it's hard to settle on getting just one.

Want to relive those nostalgic Mamee Monster moments from your childhood? Well, good news — they're bringing back the limited edition retro packaging that most of us grew up with!

Image via Mamee Malaysia (Provided to SAYS)

As a tribute to their late founder and executive chairman, Datuk Pang Chin Hin, Mamee Monster wants to spread the happiness we got during our younger days by bringing back their OG packaging. Thanks to Datuk Pang, Malaysians have gotten the chance to create beautiful memories with his snacks. Starting from just a small factory in Melaka, now it produces more than 50 various products, including Corntoz and Mister Potato. The comeback of the original packaging from the 1970s will surely get us reminiscing on memories we had with the iconic childhood snack. The old sketch-like 2D mascot is returning together with the packet's classic colours too. Plus, you'll be happy to know that the Mamee Monster Family Pack Retro Limited Edition will come with a unique sticker in each family packet. This means you can take a trip down memory lane and collect up to 12 different Mamee Monster stickers. Yay! :D
