Lost Dog Reunites With Her Owner In Seremban After Viral Video Shows Her Waiting Every Day

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

A pet dog was reunited with her owner after a TikTok video went viral for capturing her standing in front of a shoplot in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, every day, rain or shine, as if she was waiting for someone

In the video with over 60,000 likes uploaded by @jimjimmie in December last year, the dog was seen waiting in the rain on Jalan Nusari Aman 3/1, Siliau, looking depressed.Jim tried to persuade her to come over to his side as he had prepared some food for her, but she did not budge."Come here, dog... Come eat. Even if you don't want to eat, please stand under the shade here," Jim pleaded with the dog.According to him, the owner of the restaurant, where the dog had been loitering, said she had been sitting idly in front of their shop for four days straight.She only tottered over to Jim after a lot of persuasion, but she still looked dejected as she ate the food offered to her.

  @jimjimmie Replying to @ciktarusma Kesetiaan yg tiada penghujung. kesian dia #anjingjalanan  Kiss the Rain - Elise Bechstein

In an earlier video, the dog was also seen waiting in the rain while Jim, an animal lover who always uploads videos of himself feeding stray animals, asked her who she was waiting for.

Thanks to the virality of the videos with over 600,000 views combined, the owner of the dog stumbled upon the TikTok video and quickly reached out to Jim

Speaking to SAYS, Vaani said she and her family were in tears when they were finally reunited with her after eight dreadful months."I went there and called her name... we were all crying and hugging (our dog)," said Vaani, a 40-year-old mother from Melaka.She said that they took the stray in about five years ago when she was just a baby, and named her Bairava.Vaani said she was a stray who did not know how to fend for herself. Initially, her family wanted to release her back to the streets once she had grown into an adult.But after six months under her care, Bairava continued to show signs that she could not fend for herself."She still didn't know anything. If she fell into a drain, she wouldn't know how to get back up," the mother said while chuckling.

Pitying her, Vaani decided to adopt the dog and make her officially part of their family

The mother took care of her for over four years, and around April last year, she fell sick."My hometown is in Melaka and I wanted to go back to rest and recover. I was afraid that if I went back to my hometown, nobody would take care of Bairava," she told SAYS when contacted."So my husband told me that he would take care of her by placing her at the back of his company. He told me to heal my body before I came back (to Seremban). So I went home for a month." It was during her absence that Bairava went missing. Vaani said her husband had to head to Penang for work for a day during the period, and had asked his friend for help to feed Bairava."So, the friend gave food to Bairava, but he forgot to close the gate properly. It was raining and it was Hari Raya, so there were firecrackers. Thus, she ran out (of the company's compound)," she recounted."When my husband came back at 1am to look for her, she was already gone."

Image via Vaani (Provided to SAYS)

Vaani said she and her family were devastated by the news of Bairava going missing, stressing that she cried for an entire month

"I walked around the neighbourhood while screaming her name for a month. But I never saw her," she said."People in the neighbourhood knew me, some even asked why I was being so loud."Vaani said she slowly accepted the fact that she had lost Bairava after a month-long search, trying to come to terms that she may have died in a car accident or been taken away by someone.But in December last year, her sister stumbled upon Jim's video and Vaani was sure that it was Bairava in the footage. Hence, they drove to the area near Sendayan, which was about 4km away from the location she was lost, to reunite with Bairava.Vaani suspected that Bairava may have been taken away by the authorities before being placed at the shoplot because she had been neutered.She added that Bairava went missing on 10 May 2022 and was reunited with her at the end of last year.

Image via @jimjimmie (TikTok)

"Bairava is super manja (pampered). She likes to sleep with the kids and rarely makes noise," Vaani described her furbaby, adding that she was blessed to be able to welcome her into the family again.

[FACT OR FAKE #87] A Jewish Boy Was Adopted To Stop Him From Becoming A Werewolf?

From last few days, multiple news organisations from around the world including BuzzFeed, The Independent, New York Daily and Haaretz have been, unquestioningly, reporting that Argentina's President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has become godmother to a Jewish boy in order to stop him from becoming a werewolf

Argentina's president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, announced on 23 December 2014 that she had adopted a young Jewish man as her godson.
Image via Charly Diaz Azcue/LatinContent / Getty Images

Getting straight down to it, SAYS can confirm that while President Kirchner has indeed become the godmother of the seventh son of an Argentinian Jewish family, the rumours that this was done in order to prevent him from becoming a werewolf are completely NOT TRUE. It's FAKE! So what about those several news reports?

Mágico fue recibir a Iair Tawil, 1er ahijado presidencial de nuestra historia que profesa la fe judía. pic.twitter.com/18eNPR5kXv— Cristina Kirchner (@CFKArgentina) December 23, 2014

As The Washington Post notes, while Argentinian accounts of the said adoption made no mention of the werewolf, it would appear that little tidbit was picked up in translation by the English media

Yo no lo sabía, pero su visita coincidía con la celebración de Hanukkah. El papá, decía que no era una casualidad… pic.twitter.com/o3y5E17Gew— Cristina Kirchner (@CFKArgentina) December 23, 2014

However, as per a detailed report by The Guardian, like all good urban myths, the news articles were based on a grain of truth

By tradition, the seventh son (or daughter) born to an Argentine family is eligible to become the godson (or daughter) of the president.Until this month, the honour had only been bestowed on Christian babies, but on Wednesday, Iair Tawil – not a baby, but the strapping 21-year old son of a rabbi – became the country’s first Jewish presidential godson.In her Twitter account, Kirchner described Tawil, 21, as “completely sweet” and lit Hanukkah candles with his family.

        theguardian.com

Tenía razón. Me trajeron de regalo un candelabro de Israel. Me pidieron que encendiera las velas… pic.twitter.com/DVWewmZera— Cristina Kirchner (@CFKArgentina) December 23, 2014

But somehow, the story became entangled with the ancient legend of the lobizón (Argentina’s equivalent to the European werewolf). According to some versions of the myth, the seventh son of the seventh son is particularly prone to fall victim to the curse.Evidently, the chance meeting of a Latin American president with a colourful myth too good to fact-check proved irresistible – confirming as it did any number of stereotypes about erratic behaviour from national leaders in the continent of magical realism.

        theguardian.com

There is no link between the two traditions.

“The local myth of the lobizón is not in any way connected to the custom that began over 100 years ago by which every seventh son (or seventh daughter) born in Argentina becomes godchild to the president,” Argentine historian Daniel Balmaceda said.

        theguardian.com

As per the report, the custom of adopting the seventh consecutive son in a family, or girls who are the seventh consecutive daughter began in 1907, when Enrique Brost and Apolonia Holmann, Volga German emigrés from south-eastern Russia asked then-president José Figueroa Alcorta to become godfather to their seventh son

“The couple wanted to maintain a custom from Czarist Russia, where the Tsar was said to become godfather to seventh sons, and Argentina’s president accepted.”

        theguardian.com

The tradition was passed into law in the year 1974 by Isabel Perón, the widow of Argentina's political strongman General Juan Perón, once she succeeded him in the Presidential seat after his death in office. As Argentina's first woman President, Isabel Perón extended the honourary  benefit to seventh daughters as well.

Image via wikimedia.org

“The unconnected myth of the lobizón began among Argentina’s “gauchos,” the cowboys of Argentina’s vast cattle-raising Pampas, adapted from the older European werewolf legends,” said Balmaceda.In the Argentinian version, the lobizón transforms into a mixture of pig and dog every Tuesday and Friday night – not just once every full moon. Unlikely other werewolves of myth, the lobizón transmits its curse not through its bite but by passing between the legs of its unfortunate victims.

        theguardian.com

Coming back to the the Jewish boy's story, his parents, Shlomo and Nehama Tawil, had written to the President's office requesting the adoption in 1993. President Kirchner has become Presidential godmother to some 700 children since taking office in 2007.

Image via clanacion.com.ar

Earlier this year, she set another precedent, by making the the daughter of a lesbian couple the first presidential godchild.The president with most godsons was Juan Perón, who had 1,982 over three terms in office. He is followed by another Peronist former president, Carlos Menem, who had 1,136 during the 1990s.

        theguardian.com

However, while large families are not uncommon in Catholic Argentina, NOT all qualify to become Presidential god-children as the honour is ONLY given to those in which seven sons are born consecutively, with NO daughters in between

4. Watch Over Me - alert your loved ones when you're out alone for a sense of security

Image via e27.co

Watch Over Me is a safety app with an interesting story, it was born out of a real-life abduction situation that left app co-founder Xin-Ci Chin uninjured, but badly shaken up. After her ordeal, she realized the futility of "panic button" apps that require you to open and press an alert button the middle of an attack. She became involved with Watch Over Me to provide people, in particular women, with a better alternative.

        tuaw.com

A streamlined alternative to standard panic-button apps, Watch Over Me operates on a simple premise: You tell the app what you're doing (it has a preset list that includes tasks such as walking to your car and meeting someone new) and how long you believe you'll take to accomplish that task. If you do not report back within that time frame, Watch Over Me will then, depending on the subscription type you have, send an alert to your listed emergency contacts via Facebook, email, or SMS.

        techhive.com

If you’ve ever called a friend or family member while walking alone through an alley just so “someone will know where you are”, Watch Over Me is the app for you.

This IIUM Student Doesn't Let The Fact That He Can't Walk Stop Him From Climbing Mountains

Meet Hasrullah Azrulkhan, a 23-year-old International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) degree student, better known as Adam

Image via Mark Jinmin/Twitter

Adam, who has a neck for extreme sports such as hiking and kayaking, has so far conquered several hills in Selangor. Something which may not seem so impressive, until you realise he can't walk.

Image via Crawl To Conquer

The reason Adam hikes, he confesses, is to prove that he could do what many deemed impossible for a disabled person like him

While speaking to The Rakyat Post, the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) degree student admitted that while the climbs are often very difficult, which leaves him with many cuts and bruises, he enjoys the challenge and always looks forward to conquering other mountains."Apa guna aku panjat bukit kalau orang lain yang angkat?" ("What's the use of hiking if someone else has to carry me instead?"), asked Hasrullah, who has so far conquered Bukit Broga, Bukit Tabur, Bukit Gasing, Bukit Saga and Bukit Kutu in Kuala Kubu Baru.

Recently, photos and a video of Hasrullah reaching the Bukit Broga peak went viral, making Malaysians take note of his determination

Image via Mark Jinmin/Twitter

The video, which was taken and posted online by his fellow hiking mate, Firdaus Hisham, on Sept 21 this year, was picked up by social media group Sukan Star TV. It received many heart-warming messages of support and admiration from netizens.Meanwhile, a picture taken by a different hiker, Satrio Banyubiru, who was also hiking at the same time as Adam on the eastern portion of Bukit Tabur on Oct 30, also went viral.The picture showed Adam struggling to hike up the 300m Bukit Tabur.

How The Internet Responded When This Teen Was Arrested For Making A Clock

A 14-year-old in Texas was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school on grounds that the teachers thought that it was "a hoax bomb"

Ahmed Mohamed — who makes his own radios and repairs his own go-kart — hoped to impress his teachers when he brought a homemade clock to MacArthur High on Monday (14 September).Instead, the school phoned police about Ahmed’s circuit-stuffed pencil case.So the 14-year-old missed the student council meeting and took a trip in handcuffs to juvenile detention.

        dallasnews.com

School officials originally thought his clock was a bomb and now are simply calling it a “hoax bomb.”

Irving's police chief has announced that charges won’t be filed against Ahmed

At a joint press conference with Irving ISD, Chief Larry Boyd said the device — confiscated by an English teacher despite the teen’s insistence that it was a clock — was “certainly suspicious in nature.”Boyd said Ahmed was then handcuffed “for his safety and for the safety of the officers” and taken to a juvenile detention center. He was later released to his parents, Boyd said.“The follow-up investigation revealed the device apparently was a homemade experiment, and there’s no evidence to support the perception he intended to create alarm,” Boyd said, describing the incident as a “naive accident.”

        dallasnews.com

Since news of his arrest broke, Ahmed has received overwhelming support from people around the world on social media under the hashtag #IstandwithAhmed

Image via Twitter

Social media exploded Wednesday with messages of support for Ahmed Mohamed.By Wednesday (16 September) morning, the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed was trending on Twitter, as users tweeted in solidarity with the tinkering teen — and expressed outrage over what they believe was a case of anti-Muslim discrimination.

        yahoo.com

One of most notable supports came from the President of the United States Barack Obama, who has invited Ahmed to come to the White House

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.— President Obama (@POTUS) September 16, 2015

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton also tweeted her support, calling on Ahmed to "stay curious and keep building"

Assumptions and fear don't keep us safe—they hold us back. Ahmed, stay curious and keep building. https://t.co/ywrlHUw3g1— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 16, 2015

Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook, wasted no time and sent an invitation for Ahmed to come to Facebook

Many tech companies have been offering Ahmed internships and visits to their offices

Hi @IStandWithAhmed, we  building things at @twitter too. Would you consider interning with us? We'd love it — DM us! #IStandWithAhmed— Twitter (@twitter) September 16, 2015

Hey Ahmed- we're saving a seat for you at this weekend's Google Science Fair...want to come? Bring your clock! #IStandwithAhmed— Google Science Fair (@googlescifair) September 16, 2015

After his wrongful arrest, Ahmed has came out to speak to the public saying that he is "very sad" that his clock was seen as a threat, but amazed at what has followed after the incident

"I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her."

        bbc.com

Ahmed said that he was saddened by the initial reaction his invention provoked but amazed at what has followed.“It made me really happy to see all these people support me,” he said.The teen said he hasn’t spoken to anyone from MacArthur High, where he was suspended until Thursday (17 September).

        dallasnews.com

Ahmed went through an ordeal that he shouldn't have to in the first place

He recalled showing one teacher the clock and her telling him that she thought it was "nice" but he shouldn't show other instructors, according to the paper. The teen put the clock in his bookbag but an alarm beeped in the middle of sixth period and Ahmed showed the teacher what he had."She was like, it looks like a bomb," he said."I told her, 'It doesn't look like a bomb to me."When Ahmed was called out of class, he said he was brought into a room with four police officers, one of whom said, "Yup. That's who I thought it was."

        dallasnews.com

Many people, including Ahmed's father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, has blamed the incident on Islamophobia

It's honestly great to see everyone collectively come together to fight against Islamophobia. #IStandWithAhmed— Zaid Ali (@Za1d) September 16, 2015

Enough to Islamophobia.

Islamophobia is still very real.Racism is still very real.#IStandWithAhmed— Hatshepsut (@VaySoFetch) September 16, 2015

"He just wants to invent good things for mankind," said Mohamed, who immigrated from Sudan. "But because his name is Mohamed and because of September 11, I think my son got mistreated."

        smh.com.au

The school district has issued a memo after the incident but it has been heavily criticised for the victim-blaming content

Image via Max Fisher/The Verge

This memo obfuscates the particulars, giving a veneer of legitimacy to what happened. Rather than responding to a suspicious package on campus, the school responded to a device that Ahmed Mohamed freely presented to his teacher. Rather than discovering that the device was safe, they ignored Mohamed stating that it was simply a clock. And the memo completely ignores that, in conducting its investigation, the authorities profiled a teenager and effectively pit his school and community against him.

The Anti-Fake News Bill Was Tabled In The Parliament Today. Here's All You Need To Know

Earlier today, 26 March, the Anti-Fake News Bill 2018 was tabled at the Dewan Rakyat for its first reading

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported that the bill defines fake news as any news, information, data or report which is wholly or partly false, whether in the form of features, visuals, audio recordings or any other form capable of suggesting words or ideas. The bill received cabinet approval last week.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman said the bill was drawn up "in the interests of the people"

Image via Free Malaysia Today

According to FMT, Azalina claimed that the bill would not affect freedom of speech.She also said that it will prevent people from being misinformed and flooded with fabricated news.

The proposed bill seeks tough punishment on offenders if convicted

An offender can be fined up to RM500,000 with an additional RM3,000 every day the offence is continued, reported FMT.Furthermore, any person found guilty of creating, offering, publishing, distributing, circulating or disseminating, or providing financial assistance to facilitate the spread of fake news is subjected to a maximum fine of RM500,000, a 10-year jail sentence, or both.

Malay Mail Online listed a few scenarios where a person can be found guilty under the proposed bill

Here are some of the scenarios that were reportedly listed in the proposed bill:A person is guilty if someone else republished "fake news" from said person without knowing its authenticity.A person can be charged if he fabricated information in an article claiming that someone else, "a well-known businessman", has obtained business contracts by offering bribes.It is also punishable if a person informs the public via a public forum that the "well-known businessman" had misused funds collected for charitable purposes, while knowing that the information is false.

In Section 3 of the proposed bill, it was stated that the Act has "extra-territorial application" on foreign "fake news"

Image via Ong Kian Ming/Twitter

Section 3(1) of the bill states that the Act is applicable to any person, "whatever his nationality or citizenship", if the offence is committed within Malaysia.It will also be applicable to "fake news" concerning either Malaysia or a Malaysian citizen. According to Malay Mail Online, this section considers anyone who committed the offence abroad as having committed it within Malaysia.

Many have since raised concerns over this section of the proposed bill, including Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming

Anti fake news bill has extra territorial application on Malaysians and non-Malaysians. Will it be used against non Msian journalists who publish news on 1MDB abroad? pic.twitter.com/74YT65yyzX— Ong Kian Ming (@imokman) March 26, 2018

In a tweet, Ong questioned if the bill will be used against non-Malaysian journalists and made reference to 1MDB-related news.Previously, FMT reported Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Jailani Johari as saying that any information related to 1MDB unverified by the government is considered fake news.

Some netizens also criticised the bill, saying that it may cause diplomatic crises and it will "never stand the test outside of Malaysia"

One netizen doubted the possibility of the Malaysian government going after foreign citizens who may have committed the offence.

Image via Twitter

Another netizen warned the possible diplomatic crises that may arise from this bill, as it involves the conviction of foreign citizens.

Image via Twitter

One netizen also wrote that charging an "outsider" would require the "fake news" involved to be proven false.

Image via Twitter

While the proposed bill awaits a parliamentary debate, Azalina said there will be a briefing session for MPs from both Barisan Nasional and the opposition

According to The Star, Azalina will meet with members of the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club, a loose caucus in the Dewan Rakyat, after the bill was tabled earlier today.She will also meet with opposition MPs within the next two days.

Travel Agency Dupes 40 Malaysians Who Paid Over RM35,000 For A Holiday Trip To Krabi

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

On Wednesday, 18 January, a group of 40 Malaysians from Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, and Johor gathered at Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, to board their tour bus which was scheduled to depart at 6pm

The bus, however, never came.The group had collectively paid a total of RM36,000 for tickets and other expenses to an employee of a local travel company, according to a report in Utusan Malaysia yesterday, 19 January.One of the group members, 58-year-old Kartini Arshad, stated that at 4pm on the day of the scheduled departure, the employee told them that the bus they were supposed to board was involved in an accident.Being informed just two hours before the scheduled departure time of the trip was not helpful for the group members, who were already on their way to the boarding point in Seremban from their respective cities."We were supposed to board the bus from Seremban to the Thai border at 6pm [...] However, we were told that the bus to be boarded in Krabi on Friday, 20 January, was involved in an accident. We waited until 8pm but no bus came and the employees of the travel company could no longer be contacted," she said.

The group members made bookings and travel plans in July last year. Each of them paid RM900 for a five-day holiday package to Krabi.

Kartini, who managed 25 members in the group, said that they had transferred the money to a woman who was in charge of dealing with the travel company's employees, reported Sinar Harian."When the time came, I didn't expect it to be like this. I was also in the wrong because I was the one managing 25 participants consisting of friends and family," the outlet quoted her as saying yesterday.Meanwhile, Najihah Rosli, a housewife from Melaka, said she did not expect her and her husband's first attempt to go on holiday using the services of a travel company to end in such a bitter taste."My husband and I started to doubt when we were told that the bus could not come because it was involved in an accident. I feel upset because we were really looking forward to going to Krabi," she said.

They have since filed a police report

Prior to lodging the police report, when they contacted the travel company's boss, he denied any responsibility, saying that he did not receive any money from the employees who were managing the group's trip.

Man Escapes Rape Charges Of A Minor Who Conceived His Child Because He Used His Finger

Putrajaya pressured to widen definition of rape so 'finger rape' loophole doesn't repeat

Image via Change.org

A Sarawak state minister has urged the federal government to amend the Penal Code to allow a wider scope for the definition of rape, following a 60-year-old man’s acquittal of raping a minor.State Welfare, Women and Family Development Minister Datuk Fatimah Abdullah said the current definition of rape is confined to penile penetration and does not consider the use of any other body parts or objects as contributing to the offence.

        themalaymailonline.com

“We feel that there is a need to amend the Penal Code 375 for the Malaysian Courts to give a more liberal interpretation of the definition of rape especially when the victim is a child," said Fatimah.

        theborneopost.com

She urged parliamentarians to echo the call and push for amendment so that there won’t be a repeat of this ‘finger rape’ loophole, which did not constitute ‘penetration’ under the current definition.

        theborneopost.com

On Sunday, a rally pressuring the Government to amend rape laws was held at Friendship Park, Sarawak and attended by hundreds.Representatives from 28 non-governmental bodies took part in the rally, ranging from members of SWWS, the Kuching Division Journalist Association, Malaysian Institute of Architects, Sarawak Mental Health Association, Rise of Sarawak Efforts and Sarawak Dayak Graduates Association.Also present were members of SUPP, PKR and PBB.

Mum of teen who was raped by 61-year-old man makes first public plea for justice

Image via http://i.imgur.com/CVowtZ2.png?1

The mother of a teenage girl impregnated by the semen-stained finger of a 61-year-old man today pleaded with a state minister for justice, during a “Walk Against Rape” rally held at Friendship Park here today.The woman today spoke out against the man’s acquittal by Court of Appeal on May 7.

        yahoo.com

Appealing to Sarawak Minister of Welfare, Women and Family Development Datuk Fatimah Abdullah, Rosmiati ( mother of the victim ) expressed incredulity over the court’s decision to find it unsafe to convict the man.“Please do something to help my daughter. She is a victim of rape... no doubt about it.“In my over 50 years, I have never heard a woman get pregnant when a finger is inserted into a vagina,” she said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Fighting back tears, she revealed that 60-year-old Bunya, met the victim, who was then 14 years old, through her.“He was my colleague (working) under me. He was just a boat operator. On Fridays, he transports school children. It was during that time he met students. He gave them food, drinks...." said the grandmother, an Iban Muslim convert from rural Oya River.“I don't like this type of people. He is not a human being. He is an animal. His ways are like that of an animal,” she told the rally.

The victim’s mother made clear that she understood details of the judgment but felt justice had not been served for her daughter.She believed the accused was coached on what to say in court to get himself off the hook based on the wording of the law.“All I ask for is help from all of Malaysia, from anyone who does not want to experience what happened to my family,” she said while appealing for advice on how to get justice for her daughter.

On 14 May, AGC rejects appeal to review finger rapist's acquittal from underage rape charges

Sarawak’s Welfare, Women and Family Development Minister Datuk Fatimah Abdullah embracing the girl who visited the minister’s office in Kuching to appeal for justice.
Image via The Star

On 14 May, Deputy Solicitor General (I) Datuk Tun Abd Majid Tun Hamzah said “Since it is the final Court of Appeal (apex court) for cases that originate from the lower court, there is no further appeal. The  Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has maintained the policy of not filing a review,” he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Advocates Association of Sarawak president Leonard Shim asked the Attorney-General’s Chambers to consider the possibility of reviewing or proffering other charges on Bunya for his alleged actions under the Child Act 2001 or the Penal Code. Bar Council criminal law committee co-chairman Salim Bashir, however, said “If in the course of his trial, another charge was proffered against Bunya, it would be acceptable. If he was to face different charges after his acquittal by the appellate court, it would be highly prejudicial,” added Salim.

        thestar.com.my

The handwritten appeal was handed in personally by her guardians on 12 May. One of her guardians Rosita said she was upset with the court's decision to release Bunya. She only discovered his release through the newspaper, as she was not informed of the developments on the case even when it was brought to the High Court and Appeals Court.

Rosita and her husband have travelled all the way from Selangau to seek help in bringing the accused to justice.

On 12 May, guardians Rosita (name changed to protect the victim) and her husband travelled from Selangau, Sarawak and went straight to the state of Attorney General chamber to personally deliver a handwritten request for the case to be reviewed.“We were very surprised, upset and disappointed by the verdict. We want justice to be served. A criminal like him should not be allowed to go scot free. We don’t understand why such a verdict was delivered. There is no logic in it,” Rosita she added. She said the family was not informed of the development of the case, even when it was brought to the High Court and later to the Appeals Court. They only knew of Bunya’s release when her colleagues read the newspaper.

        theborneopost.com

The teenage girl, whom Bunya Jalong was acquitted of raping, has grown withdrawn following the ruling by the Court of Appeal. The girl, now believed to be 18 or 19 years old, has not spoken publicly about the court decision. "I can sense that she has built a wall around herself," Sarawak’s Welfare, Women and Family Development Minister Datuk Fatimah Abdullah told reporters on 15 May.Asked what the family had told her, Fatimah said: "They expressed anger, dissatisfaction. They don’t understand why this man was acquitted when the evidence showed that the child has his DNA. "Consent is immaterial. She was a minor (at the time), incapable of making informed decisions."

        thestar.com.my

Rosita added that the victim had "changed" since giving birth to Bunya's son, saying that she has started dressing as a boy and cut her hair short as if to "shake off her feminity"

Rosita who is a staff of a government department with Bunya said he was their longboat driver and helped to fetch students to and back from school. When the rape took place, the victim was only 14 years old. She gave birth to a son the following year. After giving birth, she changed school and continued her studies until SPM. “She is now staying at home to take care of her son while waiting for a reply from the training college. But since giving birth, she has changed. She now dresses like a boy and cuts her hair very short, as if trying to shake off her femininity,” said Rosita.

        theborneopost.com

On 7 May, Bunya Jalong, 60, had all four charges for raping a 15-year-old girl dropped by the Court of Appeal in Sibu, Sarawak. She also became pregnant and gave birth to his child.

Image via Malaysiakini

Bunya Jalong, 60, walked free on 7 May after the Court of Appeal found his four rape convictions unsound. He was convicted in 2013 of raping a 15-year-old girl in May, June, July and August 2011 in a hotel in Sibu. The victim became pregnant and gave birth to a child at Sibu Hospital on Feb 5, 2012.

        thestar.com.my

On 31 October 2013, The Sessions Court convicted him on all four rape charges that happened in a hotel in Sibu. The first for rape and the others under sexual intercourse with a minor but with consent. Punishment totaled to 42 years in jail, 11 whippings and RM40,000 compensation for the girl.

Image via Wisegeek

The first rape charge stated that Bunya had raped the complainant at the end of May 2011 in a hotel room, which is an offence under Section 376(2)(d) Penal Code. The second, third and fourth rape charges were for sexual intercourse with a minor but with consent in the subsequent months of June, July and August at the same hotel framed under Section 376(1) of the same Code.On Oct 31, 2013, the Sessions Court convicted the accused on all four charges and imposed 15 years’ jail and five whippings for the first charge, and nine years’ jail and two whippings for the other three charges which were ordered to run concurrently. The court also ordered for RM40,000 in compensation to be paid to the girl.

        theborneopost.com

Bunya appealed to the High Court this year to the High Court against his charges and his total sentence was reduced to 15 years in jail with the same number of whips and compensation

This had been reduced on appeal to jail of eight years for the first charge, three years for the second, and two years for the third and fourth charges.

        themalaymailonline.com

Bunya appealed to the High Court and had the jail term for the first charge reduced to eight years, the second charge reduced to three years, and the third and fourth charges reduced to two years each. The number of whipping however remained.

        theborneopost.com

He appealed again, this time to the Court of Appeal citing that both his name and the girl's were not in the hotel registry, so they may not have occupied a room. The panel freed him of his charges reasoning that it was 'unsafe' to convict.

Augustine (left) with Bunya (right) smiling after the the court's discharge, justifies the Court of Appeal’s ruling that the conviction was not safe based on three factors.
Image via See Hua

Augustine said the Court of Appeal’s ruling that the conviction was not safe because firstly, both the complainant and the accused’s names were not in the hotel register, giving rise to the presumption that they had not checked-in or occupied any room in the hotel. Secondly, Augustine said the judges found that her testimony to be unreliable and untruthful as a witness. “The complainant had related the four incidents in the same manner, thus not quite believable and considered not credible. If on the first incident she was forced into sex, why would she follow the accused to the hotel the next three times that followed?” asked Augustine.

        theborneopost.com

According to Bunya, the girl asked to have sex with him in a YMCA toilet. He ejaculated after she gave him a hand-job. His finger, smeared with semen, was inserted into her vagina.

Thirdly, a specialist obstetrician had testified that pregnancy could occur if freshly ejaculated semen laden with sperm is inserted with a finger into the vagina. In his evidence, only once on June 6, 2011, she asked him to have sexual intercourse with him in a toilet of the YMCA. According to the accused, she gave him a hand-job causing him to ejaculate and then his semen was smeared onto both their fingers and he later inserted his finger into her vagina.

Penang executive councillor Chong Eng says, “Even if existing law is unable to sentence him on rape charges, prosecutors should have charged him with molest and ordered him to be responsible for the child to meet social justice.”

Penang executive councillor Chong Eng said, "The victim in the Sibu case was even made pregnant and gave birth to a boy, but the accused escaped punishment under loopholes in the law. This is an unacceptable decision." According to the law rape, is defined as penetration by penis into the vagina under involuntary circumstances.“Even if existing law is unable to sentence him on rape charges, prosecutors should have charged him with molest and ordered him to be responsible for the child to meet social justice,” Chong said in a statement.

        malaysiakini.com

The discharge has shocked The Sarawak Women for Women Society (SWWS), stating that the rape charges have enough proof under the Child Act and Penal Code. Furthermore, in this cases, fear and confusion may affect a child's testimony. The verdict will also make it more difficult to bring future rape cases to court.

Image via Hifzan Shafiee

SWWS president Margaret Bedus said DNA testing proved that he was the father of the baby. "Under the definition of sexual abuse in the Child Act, the action of the man, who admitted to a hand job, is clearly an act of sexual abuse. Also, under the Penal Code, intercourse with a child under 16 is statutory rape," she added.

        asiaone.com

Margaret said the legal system still does not understand the well-researched dynamics of child sexual abuse, including how fear and confusion affected a child's behaviour and testimony. "And, the inappropriateness of consent when an adult conducted sexual activities with a minor," she said.

        thestar.com.my

Margaret said the acquittal would set a dangerous precedent if left unchallenged. "Already child rape is under-reported. This verdict, if it is allowed to stand, will make it more difficult to successfully bring (rape) cases to court," she said.

"Malaysia’s current Economic Transformation Program (ETP), improving Kuala Lumpur and the Greater Klang Valley around the capital, has been identified as a key growth engine in delivering its national vision and driving continued economic growth across the country," the report stated."The government has set a goal to transform Kuala Lumpur into a world-class city by 2020, one that appeals to both residents and tourists alike. Specific large projects are being implemented to improve Kuala Lumpur’s ranking, ranging from the 118 Tower to KL-Singapore High-Speed Rail and the Tun Razak Exchange.""The local city hall, DBKL, has also embarked on Kuala Lumpur city competitiveness masterplan studies and InvestKL is offering global businesses access to a growing workforce, a sophisticated business ecosystem, world-class infrastructure and connectivity, competitive cost advantage and a principal hub tax incentive that caters to their business models," it added.

Although Kuala Lumpur fares rather well from a business perspective, it falls in the bottom half in the overall rankings at the 55th spot

While Kuala Lumpur has been recognised as the world's key hubs for Islamic finance and has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, it ranked 53rd for the "People sub-index" and a poor 84th ranking for the "Planet sub-index". The top three most sustainable cities in the world are Zurich (Switzerland), Singapore and Stockholm (Sweden) respectively. Meanwhile, Kolkata (India) took the undesirable last spot at 100.

The People sub-index rates health (life expectancy and obesity), education (literacy and universities), income inequality, work-life balance, the dependency ratio, crime and housing and living costs. The Planet sub-index ranks cities on energy consumption and renewable energy share, green space within cities, recycling and composting rates, greenhouse gas emissions, natural catastrophe risk, drinking water, sanitation and air pollution.

Zarith Sofia Beritahu Dia Sangkakan Beruang Terancam Itu Anjing Pada Mulanya

Kecoh satu Malaysia apabila seorang penyanyi tempatan dikatakan membela seekor beruang di dalam rumahnya

Image via Ida Shareena / Facebook

Penyanyi tersebut, Zarith Sofia atau lebih mesra dengan panggilan Pia didapati membela seekor beruang terancam yang dikenali sebagai Beruang Matahari di kondominiumnya di Desa Pandan.Setelah berita ini tersebar, Jabatan Perlindungan Hidupan Liar dan Taman Negara (PERHILITAN) bertindak menahan Pia selepas membuat pemeriksaan mengejut di rumahnya.

Pia ditahan kerana menyimpan hidupan liar yang dilindungi tanpa kebenaran PERHILITAN di bawah Akta Pemuliharaan Hidupan Liar 2010 (Akta 716)

Image via PERHILITAN

Pia yang merupakan bekas peserta program realiti 'Rockanova' berkata dia tidak mempunyai apa-apa niat buruk terhadap haiwan tersebut.Malah, dia sebenarnya menemui anak beruang itu dalam keadaan lemah di kawasan Bukit Ampang bulan lalu.

"Aku jaga macam bayi" - Pia

Menerusi Instagram, Pia menjelaskan bahawa niatnya hanya untuk melindungi haiwan berkenaan."Tidak terdetik di hati untuk menyakiti, niat di hati nak melindungi tapi ini takdir ilahi. Takpe Bruno, kita pasti berjumpa lagi. Aku bukan jenis bangun pagi ke kelab malam cari rezeki tapi kerana kau, aku jaga macam bayi sekali lagi ini takdir ilahi. Semoga Bruno dirahmati," tulis Pia.

Pia bagaimanapun menyangkakan haiwan itu merupakan seekor anjing pada mulanya dan merancang untuk menghantarnya kepada pihak yang berkaitan selepas ia pulih

Image via Ida Shareena  / Facebook

“Sebenarnya, saya jumpa anak beruang itu di tepi jalan dalam keadaan lemah pada waktu malam yang pada mulanya saya sangkakan seekor anjing," katanya.

Pia akhirnya mengaku salah dan memohon maaf

Image via Instagram @oohhpiaa

"Buat rakyat Malaysia yang dihormati, terima kasih atas segala teguran yang diberi. Harap saya dapat memperbaiki diri. Moga lebih berhati-hati. Ini juga takdir Ilahi kerana saya insan sedar diri dan juga dengan rendah diri, saya pohon sepuluh jari, maafkanlah kekhilafan saya ini," tulis Pia lagi.

24-Year-Old Man Jailed For A Year For Throwing A 5-Month-Old Kitten Against A Wall

A 24-year-old man has been jailed for a year after being filmed throwing a white and ginger kitten at a wall in France

Earlier this week, Farid Ghilas of Marseille was sentenced to a year in prison for animal cruelty after posting a video to his Facebook profile showing him hurling a kitten against a building.

        spiked-online.com

Five-month-old Oscar, shown mewling and traumatised in the video, survived the ordeal but was left with a broken leg and is currently receiving treatment.

        telegraph.co.uk

Ghilas appeared at a Marseille court on Monday, where he was found guilty of acts of cruelty against a domestic and tame animal, according to news agency Agence-France-Presse.

        independent.co.uk

Image via manyakhaber.net

The video went viral as users lashed out at Ghilas over his heartless act. Ghilas responded to several of the critical comments by insulting their authors.

By the time Ghilas took the video down, Facebook users had copied and pasted his profile information; posted his name, address, and phone number on the Web; and created Facebook pages calling for his arrest.

        cnet.com

Image via canalblog.com

The police ended up taking Ghilas into custody less than 24 hours after the video appeared online.

        telegraph.co.uk

Image via france24.com

He appeared in court on Monday. More than 200 animal rights activists gathered outside as Ghilas was convicted of “acts of cruelty against a domestic and tame animal.”

On Monday, just days later, some 200 animal-rights activists, accompanied by about 20 dogs, gathered outside a Marseille criminal court as the 24-year-old man was sentenced on charges of "acts of cruelty against a domestic and tame animal."

        cnet.com

According to a translated version of a Metro News article on the ruling, Farid Ghilas gave no clear explanation of what drove him to abuse 5-month-old Oscar.

        telegraph.co.uk

"I do not know what came over me," he reportedly said several times. "I walked around the neighborhood. Cat came to me. I took it, I swung."

        telegraph.co.uk

After the video was shown in court, he murmured an apology. The president of the Society for the Protection of Animals in Marseille, a plaintiff in the case, called the apology weak.

"We must set an example for all those who torment animals," Andy Salviano said, while asking tense and angry protesters to respect the sentence. Other plaintiffs included the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the welfare and protection of animals.

        cnet.com

An online petition calling for prosecution of the man who filmed the Ghilas video had garnered more than 40,500 signatures at the time of this writing.
