"He's Late For A Meeting" — Japanese Man Scales Mount Kinabalu In A 3-Piece Suit

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

When hiking or climbing a mountain, one can't forget crucial attire needed for the trip: From thermal jackets, to gloves and even sports shoes.
But have you ever thought of a three-piece suit?

Japanese tailor and clothing enthusiast Nobutaka Sada has taken his business ventures to new heights — literally, when he scaled Mount Kinabalu while wearing a three-piece business suit and brown leather shoes. A moment of his journey was captured by one TikToker, @yokujr. In the clip, Sada can be seen standing on the side of Mount Kinabalu, enjoying the breathtaking views of the peak. The clip has since gone viral, with many people astonished by Sada's ability to climb to the summit in his formal clothes. Check out the moment below:

Sada also wrote about his experience on Facebook, and how beautiful the surroundings were once he reached the peak of Mount Kinabalu

"I was able to stay in a hut in the middle of the starlight, climb up a steep area, and enjoy the light at the top of the mountain!" he stated in the post. Beyond that, Sada added that his suit kept him warm and toasty in the tropical humidity and rain, all in time for him to attend his "business meeting" at the peak of the mountain.Sada also mentioned that he was approached by a man at the Kota Kinabalu Airport, who shared another TikTok of the seamster that had also been going viral online. Continuing on, Sada attached photos of himself in the post at the peak of Mount Kinabalu. Sitting on the side of the peak while taking in the view, he also got an immaculate shot of the sun setting.

While many were amazed at Sada's journey to the peak of Mount Kinabalu while wearing a three-piece suit, this isn't the first time the seamster visited a rather peculiar location in this attire

Alongside the pictures, Sada also stated in the caption of the post that he will be uploading his experience to his YouTube channel, which is specifically dedicated to marketing his suits by visiting unusual locations.After doing a deep dive into his channel, we discovered that Sada had recorded moments of himself in his suits at multiple locations throughout Japan, including while snorkeling in the Genkai Sea, climbing Mount Shirouma, and running a marathon in Tokyo.

And while the suit maker has achieved an impeccable feat by climbing the tallest mountain in Malaysia, it's likely that this won't be the last time we see Sada visit a rather unique location while wearing his three-piece suits.

European Diver Found Alive While 3 Remain Missing After Mersing Diving Trip Went Wrong

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

A 35-year-old Norwegian tourist was rescued today, 7 April, after she and three other European tourists went missing while diving off the coast of Mersing, Johor

Image via Bernama (Facebook)

The Norwegian, Kristine Grodem, who is believed to be a diving instructor, was spotted at around 8.15am by a cargo vessel, which was travelling from Indonesia to Thailand.It's unclear what the exact condition of the victim is, but photos show her looking fatigued and walking with rescue personnel to a Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) aircraft, which airlifted her to Mersing Stadium before she was transferred to a hospital for treatment.

Image via Onn Hafiz (Facebook)

The search and rescue (SAR) operation is now ongoing for British man Adrian Peter, 46; his son Nathan Renze, 14, who is a Dutch citizen; and French woman Alexia Alexandra, 18.

Image via Malaysia Gazette

The operation, covering 107 nautical miles (198km), began at 2.45pm yesterday, 6 April, but was halted at 7.30pm last night due to poor visibility

Johor Maritime director First Maritime Admiral Nurul Hizam Zakaria said the search was conducted under rough weather, with wind speeds of between 10km/h and 20km/h and waves of between 0.5m and one metre, reported Bernama.90 rescuers, 18 boats, and two helicopters were deployed for the SAR operation led by the MMEA, which also involves the fisheries department, the police, the fire department, the coastguard, as well as the Mersing district office, according to Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi's Facebook post.According to him, the Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar is also lending two diving boats to aid in the search.

Image via Bernama via Malay Mail

The four tourists were reportedly in the middle of a diving training at noon on Wednesday when they went missing while underwater

Image via Utusan Malaysia

Nurul Hizam said that all four divers had actually surfaced from their dive at around 12.45pm, but they drifted apart due to the strong currents.Based on an account by Grodem, he explained that she tried to scream, whistle, and wave to get the attention of their boat operator, but the divers had drifted too far away before being separated from each other, reported CNA.The boat skipper lodged a missing report when he realised the divers did not resurface from their diving spot.At 2.45pm, boats from the coastguard, the police, and the fisheries department set out to search for the missing tourists.Pulau Tokong Sanggol, the island from which the group went missing, is around nine nautical miles (16.6km) from Tanjung Leman in Mersing.

Authorities believe there was still a "very good chance" of locating the other three divers alive because they had surfaced from their initial dive

Mersing police commanding officer Supt Cyril Edward Nuing told reporters at the press conference that this means the divers still had their diving vests and fins with them. "Based on what has been recounted by (Grodem), the remaining three divers had successfully surfaced," Cyril was quoted as saying by CNA."So with the equipment that was on them and based on their diving experience, the chances of finding them alive now is very big."


What Does Tony Pua Want For His 43rd Birthday?

43 years ago, on 1 August 1972, in Batu Pahat, was born a boy named Tony Pua who would go on to become a Malaysian politician to fight for the idea of Impian Malaysia (the Malaysian Dream)

Image via videoDAP

Currently, Tony is barred from leaving the country for speaking against the 1MDB scandal, which he has termed as "the mother of mother of mother of all scandals in the history of Malaysia"

Image via videoDAP

However, in a YouTube video posted on the occasion of his 43rd birthday, Tony says he will not give up because he believes "the future generation deserves a better Malaysia to call home"

Image via videoDAP

The DAP Lawmaker, although, can't do this alone, he says in the YouTube video, which after being posted on his Facebook page has so far been shared more than 2,700 times and has received over 8,900 Likes. "To make our dreams come true, I need your help."

The MP from Petaling Jaya Utara, therefore, asks Malaysians in the video to not just wish him a 'happy birthday' or even think about buying him a present (although, he appreciates the kind thoughts). Instead, he says, "save the money and invest it in our campaign to bring change via Impian Sabah and Sarawak."But why Sabah and Sarawak?Because, Tony believes that "without Sabah and Sarawak" the change for a better Malaysia, which he says, "we are desperately seeking" won't happen.

Image via videoDAP

Tony goes on to illustrate the reasons for the campaign and why they are important. All he asks, in return, for his 43rd birthday is that you donate RM43 to seek change is Sabah and Sarawak. Watch:

Appointments For 2nd Dose Of AstraZeneca Are Going Out. Here's What You Need To Know

As of today, 2 July, many of those who opted-in for the AstraZeneca vaccine have started receiving their second dose appointments via the MySejahtera app

Earlier this morning, social media was abuzz with people sharing updates about receiving their appointments for the second dose while urging others to check their MySejahtera as well.

Woke up to a notification for my second AZ dose appointment! — Alyssa J. (@cookiemonstaly) July 2, 2021

The British-made vaccine had been dropped from the mainstream National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme back in April before a single shot was administered amidst public concern over its purported side effects. It was then offered as a voluntary vaccination option in a bid to slowly quell public mistrust.After a promising test run – where all of the initial 268,000 slots opened to residents of the Klang Valley were snapped up within three hours – a second opt-in rollout of roughly 1.1 million doses was expanded to also include Penang, Johor, and Sarawak. This, too, proved popular, and as such the AstraZeneca vaccine was duly re-added into the Programme at the end of May.

The roll-out of appointments also comes as the interval between doses has now been shortened from 12 to nine weeks

According to Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, the decision was taken amidst "greater clarity of the delivery schedule".This follows the government's efforts to hasten vaccination rates, after missing a key early target of fully vaccinating 10% of the population by the end of June. The shorter interval, coupled with the delivery of one million doses donated by Japan yesterday, 1 July – with another one million due to arrive from the US at the end of the week – sees greater optimism that the new deadline of mid-July can be achieved.

Based on the recommendation from our Technical Working Group & with greater clarity of the delivery schedule, @JKJAVMY has decided to shorten the dosing interval for AZ from 12 to nine weeks. Those who participated in the first round of AZ will be notified of their 2nd appt soon.— Khairy Jamaluddin  (@Khairykj) July 1, 2021

Meanwhile, a recent study states that the AstraZeneca vaccine efficacy is boosted by 26.3% if the intervals are over 12 weeks

The study, published in February in the renowned medical journal The Lancet, cites an efficacy rating of 55.1% if the two doses are administered between six weeks, and an 81.3% efficacy if the interval is longer than 12.However, no definitive research has been published regarding a nine-week interval between doses.It is widely believed that this method would result in efficacy between the two values, but the current consensus is inconclusive.

More Than 10 Million Users Worldwide Have Stopped Playing Pokémon GO

When Pokémon GO was first released in early July, the game erupted in popularity. It surpassed Tinder in a matter of days and revenue skyrocketed to more than RM806 million.
But, it looks like the craze is slowly fizzling away.

Pikachu is sad. :(
Image via Giphy

According to data from American-based research firm Axiom Capital Management, Pokémon GO has lost around 15 million daily users worldwide since July

Image via Bloomberg

The game reached peak ‘daily active users’ in mid-July, at nearly 45 million and has seen a drop in these numbers since, Bloomberg reveals. Now, the figures sit at around 30 million.The chart only goes until 18 August, so the number of daily active users could be even lower now. It's possible that the numbers are even lower now.

Engagement and time spent on the app per day are all well off their peaks and on a downward trend as well

Image via Bloomberg

The peak in engagement on 4 August was due to the release of the game in conjuction with the Rio Games. But that didn't stop engagement to go on a decline.

The major decline of the augmented reality game brings good news to investors of other mobile apps like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

Image via Macworld

"Given the rapid rise in usage of the Pokémon Go app since the launch in July, investors have been concerned that this new user experience has been detracting from time spent on other mobile-focused apps," says Senior Analyst of Axiom Capital Management, Victor Anthony.

UMNO Leader Claims Tengku Adnan May Have Singlehandedly Cut Funding To Divisions

United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) Parit Sulong Division chief Datuk Zulkarnain Kamisan claimed yesterday, 31 May, that the decision to end monthly support payments to party divisions may have been taken without deliberation

Image via Sinar Harian

Berita Harian reported Zulkarnain as saying that UMNO secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor might have made the decision alone. He also emphasised that a move as such should be discussed by the supreme council to ensure that all views are heard."I don't think there was any discussion with the party's supreme council. Tengku Adnan made the decision," he said.Zulkarnain then revealed that he only received the notification letter, declaring the end of monthly payments to party divisions, through WhatsApp.

Zulkarnain was referring to a letter, signed by Tengku Adnan, which announced the end of monthly stipends to UMNO divisions beginning May 2018

The letter is being circulated online.
Image via Malay Mail

The letter also told all divisions to carry on operations as usual.Malay Mail reported UMNO supreme council member and Sri Gading division chief Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi as saying that the party's funds are now limited after police seized RM120 million in cash from condominiums linked to former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak."All this while the fund had come from him (Najib), now the money is with the police so the funds are limited," Ab Aziz was quoted as saying by Malay Mail.

Zulkarnain's doubt seems to be supported by UMNO treasurer-general Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak, who reportedly expressed ignorance over the decision

Image via Astro Awani

"I don't know, you ask Ku Nan (Tengku Adnan)," Salleh was quoted as saying by Berita Harian when he was asked about the letter.Nonetheless, Hulu Selangor UMNO division chief Datuk Johan Abd Aziz was supportive of the move, saying that it is likely to reduce overheads."This could be part of a preliminary step, seeing the necessitous condition that we are in, to streamline cost," he was quoted as saying by Malay Mail.

What do you think about the letter? Let us know in the comments below.

Last week, UMNO claimed that the cash seized from Najib-linked raids actually belongs to them:

                UMNO Says Money Seized From Najib-Linked Raids Actually Belongs To Them

They also requested for the cash to be returned.

Facebook Forgets Android As It Finally Announces "Paper" For iOS

Facebook wants to take news out of the News Feed. And it is doing so with its newly launched app "Paper".

With Paper, Facebook is trying to get you to use Facebook as a news source or aggregator. Paper introduces a full-screen, immersive experience that is distraction free, leaving you with only the content in front of your eyes.

        huffingtonpost.com

Facebook unveiled its long-awaited mobile news reader app Thursday. Paper, as the app is called, will be available February 3.
Image via mshcdn.com

Your Timeline is one section, with beautiful new image, video, and long-form post layouts. But you will also see sections for specific types of news that you’d like to follow from sports to politics to photography.

        androidheadlines.com

Paper will not have ads at launch, and users will be able to subscribe to 19 different sections within the app.
Image via wordpress.com

There are stories from mainstream media along with content from “emerging voices.”

        dailymail.co.uk

In terms of design, Paper looks quite beautiful

It seems almost like a mix of Flipboard, Google Currents, and Facebook Home, which is not necessarily a bad thing. There are pretty transitions, an uncluttered UI, and image-forward thinking all over the place.

        telegraph.co.uk

Image via wordpress.com

The new app will surface content from 19 different "sections," including sports, tech, pop culture, and "LOL"

The app also has a "Newsfeed" section, which is the same News Feed users are accustomed to on the native apps, but with a new design.

        complex.com

Image via telegraph.co.uk

Each section will have a rotating carousel of images across the top, and individual cards and stories below that image. The new app was specifically designed to look different than the native apps, and has larger images and content cards without the typical blue trim present on Facebook's native apps.

        foxnews.com

Image via huffpost.com

Users will be able to select which sections they wish to subscribe to, and all content will be curated through a process that includes an algorithm and a human selection. For now, sections will not be personalized.

        mashable.com

Image via huffpost.com

The app also has a preview feature for users to see what their posts will look like before they are shared on Paper. Anything shared on Paper will also appear on that user's Facebook News Feed in the native apps and on desktop.

        huffingtonpost.com

Since the app isn't live until February 3, you’ll have to experience it through this video, here:

      Unsupported video platform

Oh, and did we mention that it’s on iPhone only? No word on an Android release. Good job Facebook, forgetting THE MOST POPULAR OPERATING SYSTEM on the planet, again.

The story below lists how Paper came to be, with all relevant updates...

Facebook Is Hiring Editors For Its Secret Mobile Newsreader, 'Paper'

Rumours of Facebook’s Flipboard-like news app have been swirling for a while and it has now emerged that the social networking website is actively seeking “editors” to curate its news product.

        recode.net

Paper will have humans tell you which story you should read
Image via reuters.com

Re/code has reported that Paper, Facebook’s top-secret app in the works will have editors suggesting which news stories you should be reading.

        firstpost.com

The move comes as a pleasantly surprising one, given how the social networking website puts emphasis on algorithms for running the show and throwing up relevant stories on its News Feed.

        mashable.com

Image via mshcdn.com

According to people familiar with the matter, these editors will oversee around ten different news verticals on a wide range of topics, curating a mix of the “best stories” within each particular subject area for users to see. The Paper verticals will be filled with stories picked entirely by these editors.

        allfacebook.com

Facebook is getting ready to launch a digital newspaper of sorts, and it's appropriately named "Paper," according to Recode

Re/code says it's currently unclear whether Paper will be a standalone app when it reaches Facebook's users; it may instead take the form of a web app optimized for mobile devices.

        cnet.com

Image via memeburn.com

Paper could be delivered before the end of January, the blog reported.

        recode.net

According to the site, Facebook's Paper and the Flipboard share a number of similarities

Both essentially act as aggregators of rich media content, displaying a mix of news stories from publications like the New York Times or the Washington Post, along with status updates from Facebook users — all in a visually stunning “paper-like” format hearkening back to a time before digital devices.

        cnet.com

Image via readwrite.com

The product is part of a multi-year effort from the team behind the News Feed, Facebook’s rich stream of never-ending content that flows down the center of users’ pages, populated with a mix of status updates, shared news stories and paid advertising from companies.

        recode.net

The site is reporting that the entire project is known as Project Reader, citing five unnamed sources familiar with the matter, spearheaded by Chris Cox, Facebook’s VP of product

Like many Facebook initiatives, the Reader project originally began years ago as an idea to completely overhaul the News Feed itself, but after numerous delays and design refreshes, the project was split into pieces.

        cnet.com

Parts of the redesign made it into Facebook’s March refresh of the News Feed, according to three sources, when the team had not finished what would eventually turn into “Paper.”

        in.com

While this initiative has been Cox’s pet project, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also been directly involved (as he has final oversight over Facebook products), according to sources.

"Why Do Korean Restaurants Use Metal Chopsticks?" — A History Lesson You Never Asked For

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

Have you ever noticed how most Korean restaurants use flat, metal chopsticks instead of wooden or plastic ones?

Image via Etsy

Most people will agree that these chopsticks are (such a pain) slightly harder to use compared to the ones we're accustomed to, but there may be good reasons for that.

From a practical standpoint, there are quite a few benefits of using metal chopsticks (especially once you get the hang of them)

Image via Soko Vibes

Korean metal chopsticks are flatter and heavier, making them harder to control at first. But once you get used to them, metal chopsticks offer a stronger grip. According to a Korean travel blog, a good way to practise is by picking up kernels of corn or peas.A user on Quora also mentioned that Korean metal chopsticks don't roll off the table since they're flat.Besides that, metal utensils are more hygienic compared to their wooden and plastic counterparts, since you can clean them at higher temperatures. They are also long-lasting and not flammable (or meltable), which means you can use them over a Korean BBQ grill with no worries, hehe.

Image via Clint Bustrillos (Unsplash)

But the real reason why Koreans use metal chopsticks dates back to the year 523 AD, which happens to be 1,500 years ago

According to Ask A Korean Dude, a book published in 2012 that explores Korean society and culture, historians first found silver chopsticks in the royal tomb of King Muryeong of Baekje, who died in 523 AD.During this time, silver chopsticks may have served to protect nobility from assassination attempts, since silver was able to detect arsenic or other poisons in food. Besides that, metal chopsticks made from gold and silver also became a symbol of social status among royalty.Commoners, who were using wooden chopsticks or their hands to eat, saw metal utensils as a way to bring up their social status. The use of metal chopsticks first trickled down to officers, before being widely used in Korean households.

Further down the line, metal chopsticks were used to help Korea cope with the impacts of war

Korea went through an extended time of hardship during the Korean War (1950-1953). Since many forests were destroyed during the war, the government encouraged people to switch to reusable metal chopsticks made of steel instead of wooden ones.Not only were they more durable, metal chopsticks helped to boost the Korean economy after the war.

Nowadays, it's common to see flat, metal chopsticks being used in Korean restaurants and homes

Nevertheless, some Koreans now opt for rounder, lighter metal chopsticks, which are easier to handle.Bamboo chopsticks are also used as an alternative to wooden ones, since they're easy to handle and more eco-friendly.


Local Fashion Label Turns Heads With Runway Show At Bukit Bintang's Pedestrian Crossing

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

Haute couture fashion house, Behati, were met with mixed reactions after videos of their impromptu runway show in Bukit Bintang surfaced

Last week, the brand held its Pelangi Raya fashion show in front of Pavillion Kuala Lumpur, with models and ambassadors walking the unconventional runway at the busy Bukit Bintang pedestrian crossing.Following the fashion show, videos of the event were widely shared on social media, with outspoken netizens questioning the brand for its "elitist" and "insensitive" marketing strategy.In a seven-second video shared on Twitter, models are seen walking the pedestrian crossing while bystanders look on.

Fans applauded the brand's bold move in the founder's Instagram post, commenting on how much they love the brand's unique designs

One user applauded the designer for his colourful designs.

Image via @kel__wen (Instagram)

"Best," commented Melinda Looi, another Malaysian fashion designer.

Image via @kel__wen (Instagram)

Another commented that the collection looked "dope" and they regret missing the show.

Image via @kel__wen (Instagram)

While others voiced their dissatisfaction with Behati's marketing strategy and expressed their displeasure on Twitter

Most users criticised the brand for using the pedestrian crossing during busy hours."People are trying to cross the street but now they have to wait for you to walk and turn," wrote one user."So uncivilised," wrote another.

Image via Twitter

Another user commented that the brand's modern take on Malaysia's traditional clothing is acceptable, but instead of using the pedestrian crossing, a normal runway would have been perfectly fine for Behati's Pelangi collection.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, one user questioned if Behati had a permit to use the pedestrian crossing.

Image via Twitter

SAYS contacted Behati about the criticisms they have received online, and the fashion label confirmed that they were not disrupting the pedestrian crossing

"The public runway was not a public show and was conducted only for a video. We did not block or obstruct the crossing lane and anyone who wanted to walk past the crossing lane was free to do so."Even with the usual walking traffic, it's normal that people will need to make way and move aside in order for everyone to share the walking lane, and we made sure that everyone got to pass the road safely and surely on the day," Behati told SAYS.They went on to explain that the designs seen on the models are from their viral pieces."The design is actually the same as the traditional Baju Melayu but only in a bigger size, made to be worn bigger than the wearer's body. Every construction of the design is made traditionally, Cekak Musang collar with buttons, three pockets, Kekek, and Pesak panels are all present."Those who express hate for the design [do so] because they do not understand the concept of oversized style or even fashion in general," they added.

PDRM Has Now Reclassified The Assault Case On Ipoh Security Guard As Murder

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

The case of a security guard who was assaulted by a homestay guest at a condominium in Ipoh, Perak in December 2020 has now been reclassified as murder following his death on Friday, 27 August

Perak police chief Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said that while the case was previously investigated under Section 335 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt, the police have referred the case again to the deputy public prosecutor and suggested a higher charge against the suspect."Police have reclassified the case, on the day of where the man died, under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder which carries the mandatory death penalty upon conviction. However, we are still awaiting further instruction from the deputy public prosecutor," he said in a statement last night, 30 August.

The Perak police chief assured that police take criminal activities seriously and action will be taken in a fair and transparent manner

"We view criminal activities seriously, and stern action will be taken in a fair and transparent manner against individuals or groups for disturbing the peace and safety of the people," he said, adding, "police would like to advise the public not to speculate on this case to avoid public anxiety and anger."The case was initially investigated under Section 335 of the Penal Code with the suspect charged on 6 January at the Ipoh Magistrate's Court. That case is scheduled to be mentioned on 9 September.

The reclassification of the case comes after the victim's family took to social media to demand justice following his death at his home

The family uploaded the videos of the assault, saying they can no longer remain quiet.They had also alleged that no concrete action was taken against the suspect, Noor Azhar Muhammad. He is said to be a Kota Bharu Bersatu Youth division member, according to a report in Malaysiakini.In the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage that captured the extremely violent assault, the suspect was seen throwing the guard's table at him, making the 64-year-old fall to the floor.The guard appears unresponsive after he hits the floor as the suspect tries to move him around.

Image via Facebook

According to the victim's family member, the suspect was staying at the condominium as a homestay guest with his family and had come down to the swimming pool area with his son.However, due to standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place at the time under the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) for COVID-19, the guest was informed that only the adult swimming pool was open and the swimming pool for children was not allowed to be open, the family member said.The homestay guest didn't want to follow the instructions and let his son play at the pool.The family member alleges that another security guard who was also on duty at the time then informed the management office with the manager trying to reason with the guest to no avail.After some time, when the victim was at his desk and checking the visitor's record, the homestay guest came with his son and started arguing and provoking him, according to the family member.The assault left the security guard, Thava Sagayam, unconscious. He sustained head injuries.Thava died eight months later with his wife by his frail body.


Ahmad Marzuk: Govt Is Of the View That Organising The Plus-Size Pageant Is Not Appropriate

The Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia 2020 Grand Final Gala Night scheduled to take place on 2 January 2021 at the Sunway Putra Hotel, Kuala Lumpur should not be organised, according to the government

Ahmad Marzuk Shaary, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of Religious Affairs, has said that the government is of the view that it is "not appropriate to organise such a programme".Bernama reported Ahmad Marzuk saying that the government is still awaiting feedback from the plus-size pageant organiser on whether they plan to go ahead with the event.He said the government through Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (YADIM) had met with the organiser to persuade them to cancel the programme set to take place on Sunday, 2 January.Last week, YADIM, a government-linked group set up to promote Islam, protested against the Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia 2020 Grand Final Gala Night, calling it "hedonistic".The group's president Nasruddin Hassan, who is the PAS syura council member, claimed that the events like these are "exploitative" of women and promotes "hedonistic culture".

Image via Sinar Harian

The Deputy Minister claimed that the event goes against Islamic law

"We are of the view that it is not appropriate to organise such a programme... firstly as it is a matter of (going against) Islamic law and secondly, because the country is still facing the COVID-19 pandemic.  So, any gatherings or group meetings should be avoided," Bernama quoted him as saying yesterday.

In its protest, YADIM claimed that organising the event could give the wrong signal to the people that the government had approved it when none of the religions, particularly Islam, should allow such events

"The organising of such events basically sends the wrong signal and appears as if the prime minister approves of such programmes when, in fact, we know the prime minister is very serious in stopping all activities that do not contribute to the building of good morals and values," the YADIM president said."...the concept of organising such a programme has never been allowed by any religion, especially Islam, because such programmes are more exploitative to women and akin to nourishing of a hedonistic culture by civilisations that have long been extinct," the PAS politician claimed in his statement.

According to the MPWM 2020 organiser, the event is for all the plus size women in Malaysia, regardless of race, colour, and religion

"We don't want the Muslim girls to be disqualified or to feel uncomfortable. We can change the name of our pageant - no problem, but not disqualifying any contestant," the organiser said in response to the Islamic party leaders and critics who are protesting to stop its gala because it has Muslim participants."MPWM, which is part of the international pageant Miss Plus World (MPW), is a humanitarian driven organisation that represents the voice of all plus size ladies including the Malay Muslim ladies. Thus we cannot simply eliminate Muslim women from our programs."We learnt that the Islamic fatwa prohibits Muslim ladies entering beauty pageant as it considers "haram" or a sin. However, the Islamic party must look at the content and concept of our pageant instead of looking at its title only. This pageant does not have bikini show, nor does it select its participants based on their physical look only. We select our participants and queens based on their intelligence, commitment, attitudes, willingness to serve their communities, and do humanitarian work, besides the pleasant, beautiful look, nor do we request our hijabi queens to take off their headscarf," the organiser added.

On its Facebook page, the organiser is gearing up for the event:

The Facebook page, however, seems to have changed its name to Malaysia Plus World Icon.

During the pageant's audition on 27 October, a total of 24 participants were picked from thousands who participated. The 24 were picked for two categories — Miss Plus and Mrs Plus.Four Miss Plus finalists are Muslims while there are six Muslim Mrs Plus finalists.The winner of the contest will be competing at the Miss Plus World Finals 2020-2021 in the US in February.


Indonesian IS Militants Wants To Kill Malaysia's Top Counter-Terrorism Cop Ayob Khan

Islamic State (IS) militants from Indonesia have issued a death threat targeting Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter-Terrorism Division Head, Deputy Commissioner Ayob Khan

According to a report by The Star Online today, 24 June, the new threat has been issued against Malaysia and its security forces, mainly targeting DCP Ayob Khan.DCP Ayob is reportedly seen as the main threat against the Islamic State in the region.

Image via The Malay Mail Online

DCP Ayob said that he is aware of the threat, adding that while he had received many death threats, this is the first time that Indonesian IS militants have issued a clarion call

"Initial investigations revealed that the threat was circulated on social media since last week. I have received many death threats over the years but this is the first time Indonesian militants have issued a clarion call to fellow militants in Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries to have me killed," DCP Ayob was quoted as saying by The Star.

The threat, that is being circulated through social media, targets DCP Ayob as the one responsible for arresting IS militants in Malaysia and urges for him to be "finished off"

What does the threat say exactly?"Di Malaysia negara yang udah dibawah Khilafah ada satu nama polis AYOB KHAN ... dia kerja dengan pemerintah thogut ... dia juga orang yang tangkap askar khilafah di Malaysia ... semua ikhwan khilafah yang ada di Malaysia bangun sekarang dan habiskan AYOB KHAN orang yang mau lawan dengan KHALIFAH ABU BAKAR AL BAGHDADI".Translation, as provided by The Star Online in its report:In Malaysia, which is now under the Caliphate, there is a policeman by the name of AYOB KHAN ... he is working with the infidel government. He is also responsible for the arrests of the soldiers of the Caliphate in Malaysia. All the soldiers of the Caliphate, awake now and finish off AYOB KHAN who dares to challenge the CALIPH ABU BAKAR AL BAGHDADI.

Speaking about the threat, DCP Ayob said that the militants have this "twisted belief" that they would receive more blessings if they attacked him during the holy month

"The chances of a collaboration between Malaysian and Indonesian militants to have me killed are high given their close relations," The Star Online quoted him as saying.

Meanwhile, DCP Ayob, whose division has nabbed 310 militants including 21 Indonesians since 2013 and has foiled 18 plots by terrorists, was previously threatened too:

Samsung Introduces Message Guard For Galaxy Smartphones To Protect Users From Malware

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

Samsung is rolling out Message Guard to protect Galaxy smartphone users from scams and potential threats

Image via Samsung (Provided to SAYS)

According to Samsung, there's a new kind of cyberattack called zero-click exploits, where scammers can access all the personal details in your phone anytime you receive an image.One single image could be embedded with malicious code that can envelop your smartphone without you even clicking on suspicious links.

To safeguard against this threat, Message Guard will act as a virtual ‘sandbox’ that isolates an image file the moment it arrives on your phone

Image via SlashGear

Samsung Message Guard will then inspect the image bit by bit and process it in a controlled environment to ensure it cannot infect the rest of your device if it's imbued with malware.Simply put, Samsung Message Guard will neutralise any potential threat hiding in an image before it has a chance of doing the smartphone harm.It also runs silently and largely invisibly in the background and does not need to be activated by the user. Samsung Message Guard is currently available on the Galaxy S23 series only.

Dad In Kelantan Who Raped His Own OKU Daughter Gets 10 Whips & 15 Years' Jail

A 50-year-old father in Kelantan has been sentenced to 15 years in jail and 10 whippings for raping his own 16-year-old daughter in August

The father, who has physical disabilities and worked as a street hawker, pleaded guilty as soon as his charges were read out to him in front of Kota Bharu Sessions Court judge Ahmad Bazli Bahruddin.According to the charge under Section 376(3) of the Penal Code, the accused raped his biological daughter in a room of a house in Kuala Krai at about 11.59pm on 18 August this year, reported Utusan Malaysia.The 16-year-old victim was born with impaired legs.

It appears the father had been exploiting the victim for years

The incidents reportedly started a week after the death of his wife in March 2017.However, the actions of the father only came to light when the victim recorded a video of what he was doing to her. Following which, she and close family members reported the matter to local authorities.

The accused is being escorted at the Kota Bharu Sessions Court in Kelantan today, 10 October.
Image via Utusan Malaysia

During the sentencing, the accused pleaded for a light sentence saying he has dependents and earns a low income.
However, the prosecution asked for a commensurate punishment.

Deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Abu Arsalnaa Zainal Abidin argued that what the father had done was very serious in its criminal nature and therefore his punishment should serve as a lesson for society."The accused, as a father, should have been responsible towards his own biological children, even more so when the victim is someone who has physical disabilities," Abu said, as reported by Malaysiakini."This is a very serious crime that should serve as a lesson for society. I believe the trauma and its effect on the victim will last her entire life, so I ask for a commensurate sentence."The accused was not represented by any lawyer.

Yaashwin Sarawanan aka 'Human Calculator' Raih Naib Juara Dalam Asia's Got Talent. Hebat!

Yaashwin Sarawanan aka Human Calculator atau Manusia Kalkulator telah berjaya mendapat naib juara dalam program realiti pencarian bakat, Asia's Got Talent!

Image via Instagram Asia's Got Talent

Walaupun tewas ditangan peserta dari Taiwan, Eric Chien dengan persembahan silap matanya, remaja berusia 15 tahun itu bagimanapun telah berjaya mengalahkan lapan lagi peserta yang terdiri daripada pelbagai negara di seluruh pelusuk Asia Tenggara.

Pengumuman tersebut dibuat secara langsung sekitar jam 10.30 malam pada 11 April dari Marina Bay Sands, Singapura, di mana acara final pertandingan itu diadakan.

Image via Instagram Asia's Got Talent

Juara Asia's Got Talent (AGT) ditentukan berdasarkan sistem pengundian para penonton. Selaku juara, Eric Chien telah berjaya memenangi hadiah lumayan sebanyak $100,000 USD, manakala Power Duo yang terdiri daripada dua orang penari dari Filipina pula telah mendapat tempat ketiga.

Image via Instagram Asia's Got Talent

Meskipun mendapat tempat kedua, penyertaan Yaashwin dalam pertandingan itu tetap membanggakan kerana telah mencatat kejayaan tertinggi buat peserta dari negara Malaysia sepanjang bermulanya program tersebut pada tahun 2015

"Saya tidak menjangkakan untuk capai sehingga ke tahap ini. Saya juga tak sangka ramai yang terhibur dengan matematik. Oleh itu saya gembira melihat ramai yang terhibur dengan persembahan saya," kata pelajar dari SMK Bandar Tun Hussein Onn (2) itu. Berkongsi mengenai perancangan akan datang, Yaashwin berazam mahu menyertai rancangan lebih besar iaitu Britain’s Got Talent demi meneruskan impiannya menjadi Manusia Kalkulator terkenal seluruh dunia.

“Selepas ini, saya memang mahu cuba pertandingan lebih besar. Saya tahu bakat sebegini akan dihargai di barat dan warga Asia sentiasa mendapat perhatian dalam bidang matematik.“Bagaimanapun, saya juga akan terus mencari idea terbaik untuk menambah baik persembahan pada masa depan. Saya benar-benar mahu membuktikan bahawa bidang kira-kira juga perlu harus diiktiraf sebagai bakat,” katanya kepada Harian Metro.

Untuk persembahan terakhirnya di AGT, Yaashwin sekali lagi membuat persembahan menarik yang bukan sahaja mengejutkan para juri bahkan membuat penonton terpukau

Image via YouTube Asia's Got Talent

Dalam persembahannya kali ini, remaja itu telah menampilkan pendekatan yang berbeza dari sebelum ini iaitu dengan menampakkan suasana seakan-akan di dalam kelas sekolah. Yaashwin telah menjemput kesemua juri serta hos AGT untuk berlakon sebagai pelajar di dalam kelas itu manakala dia pula bertindak sebagai tenaga pengajar.

Sekali lagi membuktikan dirinya juga adalah 'Human Calendar', Yaashwin yang mengenakan jubah konvokesyen dalam persembahannya itu kemudian meminta juri-juri AGT iaitu Jay Park, Anggun, dan David Foster untuk memberi tarikh, bulan dan tahun peristiwa istimewa yang diingati ketiga-tiga juri itu untuk dia meneka hari peristiwa istimewa tersebut berlaku dengan tepat.

Ternyata, Yaashwin berjaya meneka hari bagi ketiga-tiga peristiwa itu dengan tepat yang mana telah mengejutkan semua yang berada di dalam dewan persembahan terakhir AGT.

Yaashwin kemudian meneruskan persembahannya dengan meminta ketiga-tiga juri dan salah seorang hos iaitu Justin untuk memberi nombor secara rawak untuk dia membuat pengiraan operasi tambah secara congak sementara seorang lagi hos, Alan, ditugaskan dan diberi kalkulator untuk membuat pengiraan bagi nombor-nombor yang disebut.

Sengaja menambahkan elemen lucu dalam persembahannya, Alan akhirnya tidak berjaya untuk membuat pengiraan tersebut menggunakan kalkulator ekoran nombor yang disebut para juri dan Justin dilakukan dengan terlalu cepat menyebabkan dia hilang fokus dan akhirnya give-up.Disebabkan kecuaiannya itu, Alan kemudiannya didenda oleh 'Profesor' Yaashwin.

Drunk Man Breaks Into Stranger's Car At Bandar Utama Because He Needed To Sleep

A Malaysian man recently found a drunk stranger fast asleep in his car after a long night of clubbing in Petaling Jaya

In a Facebook post on 19 August, the man said that he parked his car below Play Club at First Avenue, Bandar Utama and went to a mamak with his friends.

His car window was found smashed.
Image via Facebook

When he returned to his car, he found a drunk stranger, who had broken into his vehicle, sleeping on the car seat

In the post, the owner of the car said, "(Not sure if I should) be pissed or be laughing."He found out that the stranger, who was from Johor, had lost his phone and wallet during his eventful night spent drinking. He was also extremely drunk and couldn't remember any phone numbers. Left with few options, the car owner decided to bring him to the police station.

Image via Facebook

UPDATE: According to the man's post, the case has since been settled as of 21 August.

Netizens have since weighed in on the drunk man's antics, calling him a "legend" for pulling such a stunt

3 Ways To Complete All Your Ramadan And Raya Preparations While You Stay At Home

This Spotlight is sponsored by Grab. Cover image used for illustration purposes only.

While we're hopeful that the Movement Control Order (MCO) will be lifted soon, we already know that puasa and Raya are going to be very different this year

Not only have Ramadan Bazaars been cancelled nationwide, all mosque gatherings in Selangor have been suspended too. Everyone is also encouraged to continue social distancing, even after the MCO, which means it'll be difficult to do things like balik kampung, gather for buka puasa, or host open houses.

Conservationists In Sabah Surprised To See 2-Headed Baby Turtle Emerging From Its Nest

On 15 July, conservationists were surprised to discover a two-headed baby turtle emerging from the sand

According to Scuba Junkie SEAS (SJ SEAS) Chairman Mohd Khairuddin bin Riman, the two-headed hatchling emerged from a nest of 93 hatchlings at the Mabul Turtle Hatchery.Malay Mail reported that the hatchery is operated by SJ SEAS, a conservation arm of dive operator, Scuba Junkie and is located in Mabul Island, Sabah.

Image via Malay Mail

Marine scientists and wildlife enthusiasts claimed that they have never seen anything like it before

“We have released around 13,000 hatchlings from the hatchery and have never seen anything like this before. This is extremely unusual,” said Khairuddin as quoted by Borneo Post Online. "The Sabah Wildlife Department’s Honorary Wildlife Wardens (HWWs) were all intrigued, as well as busy – we had two batches of hatchlings emerged last night and yet another turtle nesting," the chairman added.

According to SJ SEAS marine biologist and conservation manager David McCann, both of the turtle heads are able to breathe independently

The Star Online also reported that the hatchling's both heads were reacting to stimuli separately. "It is utterly fascinating. The right head seems to control the front right flipper, and the left head the front left flipper," David McCann said, adding that the turtles are capable of coordinating their movements when they walk or swim.

Image via Malay Mail

The condition of the two turtle heads in one body is described scientifically as dicephalism

According to Chief Veterinarian for the Sabah Wildlife Department's (SWD) Wildlife Rescue Unit Dr Sen, the condition is highly unusual but not unheard of. “There was a similar instance in Redang in 2014. The hatchling was studied for three months before it sadly died from pneumonia,” said Dr Sen.The Chief Veterinarian also added that the hatchling in Sabah would not survive in the wild as the plastron, the underside of a turtle's shell, is not fully developed or closed. "Observation by the biologists on-site also indicated that in deeper water, one head couldn’t get above water comfortably to breathe. The hatchling is being kept in shallow water allowing it to breathe easily," said Dr Sen.

Green and Hawksbill turtles are listed as protected under Schedule 1 of the 1997 Wildlife Conservation Enactment in Sabah

"For this reason, the hatchling is being kept under observation by the dedicated biologists and Honorary Wildlife Wardens who run the Mabul Turtle Rehabilitation Centre," said SWD Director, Augustine Tuga. McCann also added that their primary concern was the turtles' welfare. "Although these guys may not have a good prognosis, we will do our best to ensure that they are comfortable and taken care of," said McCann as reported by Borneo Post Online.

Meanwhile, a video of a group of men taking turns to ride a leatherback turtle went viral recently:

One man even placed his feet on the turtle's head.

This Singaporean Couple's Wedding Photos Are So Bad They Want You To Laugh At Them

Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime occasions. No doubt, it is essential to have a good wedding photographer as photos are the only lasting memory you will have of the special day.

Image via Coolaz Stubby Holders Blogspot

Unfortunately for this Singaporean couple, their appointed photographer appeared to have captured more unflattering moments than, well, cherishable ones

Image via Jaclyn Ying's Facebook

According to the bride, Jaclyn Ying, the couple had no hand in choosing the photographer as actual day photography was included in a wedding package they'd bought from a "pretty reputable bridal shop" in Singapore. "Before we signed on, we were told that while we couldn't choose our photographer, the standard of the talent pool was consistent. Naturally (and being Singaporean), we asked, "sure annot," and were promptly shown a portfolio of actual day photos. They looked alright, and so we signed on thinking, 'Okay la hor, how bad can they be'," she wrote.Read her full post here.

As he was the only photographer on duty that day, there is nothing they newlyweds can do besides trying to seek compensation from the bridal shop. That and sharing the "hilariously bad" photos on social media for "amusement".

Image via Jaclyn Ying's Facebook

Speaking to Singaporean daily The Straits Times, Ying revealed that she and her husband had paid S$3,000 (RM8,665) for the package, which included several sets of outfits, hair and make-up sessions as well as 10 hours of actual day photography.

Out-of-focus and inopportune moments aside...

The photos, which were posted on 10 April, have been shared more than 16,000 times at the time of writing.
Meanwhile, the photographer in question had also stepped out to refute the "bad photos", saying that more than 900 photos were taken on that day but the bride only posted the less satisfactory ones.

The post, which also contained nicer photos from the couple's wedding, has since been deleted.
