The owners, referred to as Madam Teng, and her husband, See Poh, have speech and hearing difficulties, and are some of the most wholesome people around

To order, you'll need to scribble down what you want on a piece of paper that will be provided to you. The aunty and uncle will communicate with you through hand gestures, but if you know sign language, then even better!

They're both really cheerful and hardworking, but do be patient and kind as it's just two of them running the stall all day. According to Free Malaysia Today, the elderly couple may retire this year after having worked hard on their feet for years.

Got A Laptop Not Being Used? This NGO Will Donate It To Students In Need

If you have a laptop or desktop in working condition that's just lying around, this local outreach can refurbish and offer it to students in need for online learning

Medical Awareness Camp Outreach (MACO) is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) — registered with the Registrar of Societies — founded by a group of specialist doctors and non-medical volunteers to provide free medical services to the poor. They also offer meals, food aid, and refurbished computers to students from families of lower income so they can learn online.

Image via Medical Awareness Camp Outreach (Facebook)

According to MACO, around 900,000 students in Malaysia do not have access to devices or the Internet, despite needing them for online learning, especially during this pandemic.

The NGO's most recent project saw 1,000 laptops donated to 11 schools and school children in the B40 category

MACO also provided cash subsidies for WiFi access as well as installation of broadband services to homes of B40 students.  "We assist some schools in setting up their computer labs and we work with the teacher in charge of student welfare to identify the students in need.  We also receive applications from individuals, shelter homes, groups, etc," committee member Walter Yeoh shares with SAYS.

Image via Medical Awareness Camp Outreach (Facebook)

If you would like to donate, make sure that your computer is in working condition and not too old or beyond repair

"From experience, if the computers are too old, we spend a lot of time doing diagnostics and some of those computers may, in fact, be beyond repair."So, we accept functioning computers, which we will repair and ensure that they are complete before distributing them. This includes fitting them with the accessories, where required, e.g. hard drive, monitor, keyboard, webcam, and mouse," he explains.

Image via Medical Awareness Camp Outreach (Facebook)

"We have partners and collaborators, including volunteers who connect MACO to the community in need, help with logistics (collection/drop off/distribution), financial donors and supporters (we don't appeal to the public for funds)."

You can drop off your laptop/desktop or arrange for a delivery. Just contact them in advance to make sure that there is someone to receive it at their IT workshop in Section 51A, Petaling Jaya.

MACO provides pick up services if there is a large number of computers to donate, for example, companies that might be giving away 100 to 200 computers at a time.

Image via NUDE The Zero Waste Store/Facebook

Instead of constantly buying new products in plastic packaging, reuse old plastic or glass bottles by filling them with household cleaning products from zero waste stores.I've switched from buying laundry detergent at supermarkets to refilling it at KitaRefill and the price comes up to slightly cheaper for the same amount. Plus you can still enjoy fresh-smelling clothes by getting them to add fragrance!You can find detergents and other household cleaning agents at:- KitaRefill (Petaling Jaya, Kajang, and Taman Desa)- A Bit Less Bulk Store (Kepong)- NUDE The Zero Waste Store (Petaling Jaya)- Conzerve (Bukit Jelutong)- Go Bulk (Cyberjaya)- The Hive (Bangsar, Ampang, and Taman Tun Dr Ismail)- Zero Waste Earth Store (Setia Alam)- Seedy Zero Waste Store (Kota Kemuning)- Liquid Etc (Klang)

2. Skincare products

Having to go through a countless number of pads every month can really take a toll on the environment.

Newlyweds Spend Less Than RM1K On Their Wedding & Wear Old Clothes With DIY Makeup

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

It's not uncommon for couples to spend tens of thousands of ringgit on lavish weddings, with some even taking out loans just for their big day

A Malaysian couple, Ahmad Farith Zulkefli, 26, and Nur Ashiekin Johari Hamki, 25, recently shared on social media that they tied the knot in a simple ceremony.The bride posted several photos of their big day on her Twitter account and said that they successfully became husband and wife on 3 March.Ashiekin added that she did her own makeup and only used her phone to take photographs of the wedding."No hantaran (betrothal gifts), I did my own makeup and [I was] my [own] 'phonegrapher' of the day," she wrote in a tweet.

Image via @wydsetan (Twitter)

In a subsequent tweet, Ashiekin listed all their wedding expenses

She said that they had registered their marriage at Pejabat Agama Islam Daerah Melaka Tengah, which cost RM380. Ashiekin then paid RM55 for her henna, and spent another RM200 on food for the guests, which was fully prepared by her husband's family.The bride also did not purchase a new wedding gown for the wedding, opting to wear old clothes instead."Adding the ring, in total, we spent less than RM1,000," she told mstar.

Image via @wydsetan (Twitter)

Having grown up with nine siblings, the bride said she has understood the struggles of earning money from a young age, which is what inspired her to not spend so much for her wedding

"We're focused on our lives after the wedding. We think about the money we need to spend on furniture, food, and other necessities. We need to use a lot of money after our wedding day."So, we calculated the cost of our wedding very carefully. We have to differentiate between what we want and what we actually need. You can just wear what you already have in your closet," she was quoted as saying.Ashiekin added that their wedding followed the rules of Islam, and not necessarily the Malay customs.She told SAYS that they are not planning to hold a wedding reception and are more than satisfied with their humble wedding day.

Image via @wydsetan (Twitter)

The couple's marriage caught the attention of netizens, and as of writing, her Tweet has garnered over 3.7 million views with over 5,000 retweets

Many Twitter users congratulated the newlyweds on their new chapter.

Image via Twitter

"Congratulations. May this marriage be an example and a new custom for Malaysians," one user wrote.

Image via Twitter

"I love weddings like this, it's so simple, and you need to use more money for necessities after the wedding," wrote another user.

Image via Twitter

In November last year, one recently married couple made a confession on Twitter that they regret taking up loans for their wedding:

                Malaysian Newlyweds Regret Taking A Loan After Parents Demanded For A Grand Wedding

"Throughout these six months of marriage, I am more sad than I am happy."

Netizens Investigate After Man Spots RM638,000 'FF2' Licence Plate On... A Bezza

Recently, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) earned RM34 million in revenue following the launch of a new vehicle registration series beginning with 'FF'

According to New Straits Times, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the highest-bidded licence plate was 'FF8', which was sold for RM950,000.One of the most expensive licence plates sold during the bidding was 'FF2', which was auctioned for RM638,000.On Thursday, 25 May, a Twitter user shared a photo of a woman stepping out of a car with the 'FF2' licence plate, but the vehicle confused netizens.As the licence plate was sold at a hefty price tag, Twitter users did not expect the owner to use it on a car that was 15 times cheaper than it."She just used it on a Bezza, babe," the user wrote.

Image via Twitter

The tweet went viral, garnering 3,500 retweets, but netizens were unsure whether the image was authentic

One user claimed that the image was edited and that the actual licence plate on the Bezza is 'KFF2'.They also attached an image of the same alleged Bezza with its real licence plate.

Image via Twitter

"Edited. The real licence plate is 'KFF2'," wrote another user, supporting the claim.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, another user speculated that the owner may have purchased the licence plate and used it on the Bezza while waiting to buy a more expensive vehicle.

Image via Twitter

Beauty entrepreneur Ivon Wong recently received attention online after she attempted to bid on the 'FF9' licence plate for RM909,999:

2. Burger 'botingkek-tingkek'

Haaa jangan ingat kek je bertingkat tau, burger pun sama. Kalau dulu mungkin kita ada burger special dan burger double, tapi tahun 2016 kita ada super duper triple burger. Kiranya kalau order satu burger ni, 5 orang belum tentu dapat habiskan. Bersalutkan keju dan bahan-bahan lain seperti sos dan mayonis, burger bertingkat kadang-kadang kelihatan sangat menyelerakan dan kadang-kadang juga agak pelik untuk dimakan. Tapi jangan tak tahu, ada pasangan pengantin yang menggantikan kek dengan burger ni tau! Memang rare lah!

5. Laksa sedut

Ini sememangnya sesuatu yang lain daripada yang lain. Sekiranya anda biasa melihat laksa dijual di dalam plastik dibungkus dan diikat dengan getah, namun 2016 memperkenalkan wajah terbaru laksa tempatan. Laksa tersebut dijual di dalam cawan plastik dan cara memakannya adalah dengan menyedut laksa menggunakan straw.

6. Roti tisu 'menara'

Buat pelanggan tegar kedai mamak, paling tidak pasti anda pernah order roti tisu seperti ini sekali. Roti tisu sememangnya sangat halus dan nipis. Gula dan susu yang ada pada roti tersebut menaikkan lagi rasa keenakan roti yang sangat rangup. Selain itu, buat tahun 2016, roti ini menjadi trend yang dihasilkan dengan beberapa penambah selera seperti coklat dan sebagainya.

7. Gula-gula berasap

Kalau anda ingat hanya rokok atau vape saja yang berasap apabila dihisap oleh seseorang, anda salah! Tahun 2016 juga memperkenalkan sejenis gula-gula yang mengeluarkan asap. Katanya trend ini bermula di Pontian, Johor dan seterusnya merebak terus ke seluruh negara. Yang *best*nya bila makan gula-gula ni, mulut anda akan mengeluarkan asap. Fuhh, dah macam kat luar negara lah pulak!

30 Things You'll Relate To If You've Ever Worked In A Retail Store

1. Having to tahan being on your feet for several hours straight

Image via Flaming Zombie Monkeys Blogspot

2. When your manager makes you yell "Welcome to [shop]!" and follow customers around

Photo for illustration purposes only.
Image via Everyday On Sales

Confession Time: You personally hate it when other retail workers do that to you.

3. Listening to customers complain about how expensive the stuff in your shop is compared to another store

Image via 9GAG

Hah, as if you have any control over the pricing.

4. Maintaining a fake smile and nodding politely even when a customer is yelling at you for some reason or other

Image via Twitter @RetailJobLife

You've lost count of how many times you cursed whoever invented the phrase "the customer is always right" because that person has obviously never worked a retail job before.

5. Customers not believing you when you tell them you no longer have any new units in the storeroom

Image via Twitter @RetailJobLife

You, internally: "Trust me, I live here."

6. When you're answering the phone, manning the cashier, holding in your pee (all at the same time) ... and a customer asks you for help

Image via Twitter @TheRetailJobLife

I'd like to, but my hands are kinda full right now...?

7. Getting complained about your "bad attitude" when in fact, you weren't able to help that one customer because you were busy assisting another

Image via Giphy

8. The struggle of staying friendly with your co-workers even though you're low-key competing for sales

Image via NBC

Teamwork is low priority when you have individual targets to hit.

9. When a customer tries on everything in the store... only to end up buying only one thing or worse, NOTHING

Image via Instagram @marthanthejoneses

10. Having to pick up after customers who simply leave their rubbish all over the store

Image via pacmandones

Our job is to keep the store clean, not clean up after a grown adult.

11. Or worse, finding food that's supposed to be refrigerated on a random shelf for God knows how long

Image via sp4ce / Reddit

FUN FACT: Any food item that's supposed to be refrigerated gets thrown away if they are found outside of the refrigerator.

12. SCENARIO: You've just straightened out the merchandise and fixed the displays. Then 10 seconds later...

Image via Facebook

13. Especially when it's sales season. *gives up on life*

Image via Facebook

14. Long-lost friends and distant relatives hitting you up so they can take advantage of your staff discount

Image via postimg.org

Sometimes, "loyal customers" try to do it too.

15. Spending most of your hard-earned money in the shop you're working at because (a) employee discount and (b) you have no self control

Image via Comedy Central

16. You can only go out with your friends on weekdays

Image via Unsorry Weekend

You probably don't get to take time off during public holidays too, because that's when the store needs you the most.

17. Oh God, Public Holidays. *cries*

Image via The Blaze

But you soldier on anyway because there's double (or even triple) pay if you work on public holidays. :D

18. Unless your boss doesn't recognise a public holiday so you don't get double pay. *double cries*

Image via Meme Generator

19. You've had to delay your lunch breaks because you're understaffed and the customers just keep coming like:

20. When you finally get to go for your break and you're too tired to care about the rest of your colleagues

Image via PutThatInBarry / Imgur

21. Stressing out about being assigned to the cashier on a busy day, because HOLY SH*T what if your till ends up short?!

Image via Twitter @gaijinCyn

22. Actually putting your math knowledge to good use!

Image via Giphy

It's especially useful when the customer gives you change AFTER you've keyed in the amount they gave you.

23. When a customer puts money on the counter even though you've already put out your hand to receive it

Image via QuickMeme

24. When the credit card machine loses connection halfway through the transaction and you have to swipe the card again

Image via Pinterest

Please don't yell at me sir, I'm not "double-charging" you.

25. The awkward moment when a customer's card is declined and you're wondering how to explain that without embarrassing them

Image via Twitter @Elisha_Gadenne

26. You're a little worried when kids start running around the store while their parents buat tak kisah and continue shopping. #NotYourBabysitter

Image via Tumblr

Seriously, what if they fall and flatten their face on the ground, or worse, hit the sharp edge of a shelf or glass table?

27. When teenagers walk in because they're so loud and look like they may break something with their flailing arms

Image via Tumblr

28. When a customer decides to sneak in at 9.55pm despite the half-closed shutters and continues shopping for the next 30 minutes

Image via Twitter @ashlynnracquel

29. Through all of that, you've gotta keep a permanent smile on your face all day long so when you finally get home...

Image via Twitter @TheRetailJobLife

30. Even if you've left it all behind, you still retain the reflexes you learned during your retail life

Image via buzzfeed.com

Hands up if you still find yourself straightening out merchandise when you walk into a random store, putting things back where you found them, or having your hangers face the same way.

Having weighed 105kg in the past, restaurant owner Jason Lee struggled with even climbing stairs or buying a suitable pair of running shoes

Jason experienced chronic knee pain, as it was not easy to support the extra pounding his feet were subjected to by being both overweight and physically active.After trying numerous diets, Jason realised that most of them were too restrictive with requirements that were hard to keep up with."For example, skipping meals and boiled chicken diet everyday will make you lose weight but it is not sustainable," he told SAYS.

That's why Kurin's menu emphasises flexibility in using sauces, herbs, spices, and condiments to make food more flavourful

A Man In His 50s Slashes His 82-Year-Old Mother And Brother With Parang In KL

A man, in his 50s, ran amok and slashed his 82-year-old mother and brother, who is also in his 50s, with a parang at their home in Taman Bukit Anggerik in Kuala Lumpur.

Cheras OCPD Senior Asst Comm Mohan Singh said police were investigating the cause of the incident. He added that the suspect was believed to be under the influence of drugs.

        thestar.com.my

The incident happened around 3pm on Friday

The police, he said, first received a call about a fire and an explosion at the home yesterday. “Not long after that, we received information that a man was attacking the family,” he said when contacted yesterday.

        veooz.com

SAC Mohan said police arrived at the scene only to find the man had slashed his mother and brother. The man then locked himself in one of the rooms.

He added that police managed to arrest the suspect while the two victims were sent to the University Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital. They are in stable condition.

A relative of the family described the man as someone with a quick temper

When met at HUKM, the relative said the suspect was once married and that he had two sons living in the same house. The relative said the suspect only took on odd jobs as a labourer.

The man allegedly has a history of violence. He beat his sisters, ex-wife and children in the past, according to the brother who was slashed on his head and hands.

“As far as we know, he has no mental problem but he has a temper,” he said. “He gets angry very easily.” The victim said he realised that something was wrong with his brother several days before the incident.

        thestar.com.my

“He would punch the wall, throw things and make noises,” he claimed at Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM). The victim said he even went to a Chinese temple to pray and seek guidance for his brother.

Describing the attack, the victim said he was watching TV with his mother in the living room while his brother was in a room upstairs

“Suddenly, my brother came down with a parang and attacked me,” he said, adding that his mother was also slashed when she tried to stop the attack. The victim said he and his mother locked the gate and quickly left the house, adding that he then informed a neighbour who called the police.

When police arrived, they found the labourer had locked himself in one of the rooms. Cheras OCPD Senior Asst Comm Mohan Singh said the man was remanded for four days.

Nestlé Is Introducing Paper Straws For Milo Packet Drinks In War Against Plastic Waste

Nestlé Malaysia is rolling out paper straws for its new MILO UHT 125ml drink packs by the end of the year

According to Citizen Journalists Malaysia, Nestlé Malaysia Berhad chief executive officer Juan Aranols announced that they will eliminate 40 million plastic straws from daily use per year with this packaging innovation.This will also make Nestlé the first food and beverage company in Malaysia to introduce paper straws for packaged drinks."This is our latest commitment to make all packaging 100% recyclable or reusable by 2025, and we continue to search aggressively for solutions in our on-going 'War on Plastic Waste'," he said.

Nestlé Malaysia Berhad Ready-to-Drink Business Unit executive officer Ng Su Yen said making the switch to an eco-friendly alternative for the straws was not easy

"We had to ensure that the alternative straws are made from high quality material that fits packaging specifications, and remain sturdy when used, without posing any safety risks. We also had to identify suppliers who were capable of meeting our rigorous standards at the quantities required for high volume production," she said."Following the successful efforts, we are truly pleased to share this important innovation with our consumers."

As part of its 'War on Plastic Waste' initiative, Nestlé Malaysia is continuously developing environment-friendly solutions

According to New Straits Times, Nestlé Malaysia said that two-thirds of its total plastic packaging is currently designed for recycling.After the pilot initiative, it plans to roll out paper straws for its other MILO UHT variants in progressive phases with the ultimate objective of eliminating over 200 million plastic straws a year.It also continues to co-develop and test new environment-friendly packaging materials and systems together with development centres, suppliers, research institutions and start-ups.

This switch to paper straws is in line with the government's plan to make Malaysia a zero single-use plastic nation by 2030:

                By 2030, Yeo Bee Yin Wants Malaysia To Be A Zero Single-Use Plastic Nation

A road map will be released next month to achieve this goal.

Over 700 Food Packs For B40 Families Found Undistributed For 2 Weeks In Cheras

750 government-sponsored packets of COVID-19 food aid for the lower income group have been found undistributed at the Bandar Tun Razak Sports Complex, according to Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai

The DAP chairperson said the food aid, including groceries and rice, were intended for distribution to 1,000 B40 families in his constituency, but have been left in the building for two weeks instead."The sports complex was chosen as the place to keep 2,000 food packs. A thousand for Cheras and 1,000 for Bandar Tun Razak," Tan told Malaysiakini on Monday, 20 April."Bandar Tun Razak's share of the food packs were distributed much earlier, but then the Cheras one, because I'm not a member of the ruling coalition, I was denied my share."

Several opposition MPs have been crying foul over the alleged unfair distribution of the food packs by the Women, Family, and Community Development Ministry

According to Malaysiakini, last week, Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh claimed that only 250 packs were delivered by the Social Welfare Department (JKM) to her constituency, instead of the promised amount of 1,000 food packs.She alleged that 54 opposition-held constituencies have received none or fewer food baskets than the 1,000 promised for the needy.Meanwhile, Malay Mail reported that Penang state's JKM was instructed to only distribute to selected coordinators by Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Mansor Othman, who is also the Nibong Tebal MP.Balik Pulau MP Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik from PKR said he had given 1,000 names to receive the aid to the department, but had yet to receive any as of Monday, 20 April.Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin from PKR also said they have been waiting for two weeks since the state JKM promised each MP 1,000 food baskets on 30 March.

Menteri @RinaMohdHarun masih belum menjawab ke mana perginya bakul makanan @MOFmalaysia untuk setiap kawasan parlimen? Betulkah bakul makanan telah diberikan kepada ketua2 bahagian Perikatan Nasional untuk agihan? Maaf kena guna twitter, Parlimen tak benarkan sesi soal jawab. pic.twitter.com/p27rrC8ss8— Hannah Yeoh (@hannahyeoh) April 19, 2020

Minister Rina Harun, however, has denied these claims and insisted that no parties were forgotten or left behind

She said the distribution of the food baskets was based on complaints received from JKM in the respective states, community leaders, and via Talian Kasih."This food basket assistance targeted the group of people who are directly affected, especially those who have no income to obtain their daily needs," she told reporters after distributing the food aid to residents of a low-cost apartment in Kajang today, 22 April.According to Bernama, JKM has distributed 301,451 food baskets nationwide, benefiting 1.2 million households affected by the Movement Control Order (MCO).

Guess Which Little Smartphone Brand Is Now The Third Largest In The World?

Xiaomi is now officially the third largest smart phone brand in the world

Xiaomi is now officially the third largest smart phone brand in the world
Image via androidheadlines.com

If there’s one brand that smart phone brands are afraid of, it is Xiaomi. This year they have expanded rapidly outside of China and have disrupted the market with its dirt cheap value for money proposition. According to a market research report by IHS iSuppli, Xiaomi is currently the third largest smart phone brand, overtaking Lenovo and LG. This is quite a giant leap considering they managed to reach #5 position in the middle of this year.

        soyacincau.com

A ROM maker company started out in the name of Xiaomi a handful years back. How much this young company has achieved in just 4 years is something truly remarkable. It now finds itself at the third position in the list of the top smartphone manufacturers worldwide. It is certainly something that would make all eight co-founders of the company more than just proud; the company not only rose through ranks at breakneck speed, but it also defied odds to start shaping up as a truly global company.

        androidheadlines.com

According to a market research report by IHS iSuppli, Xiaomi has sold 19 million units this quarter, overtaking Lenovo and LG

Xiaomi sold 19 million smartphones in the third quarter of this year, market researcher IHS iSuppli said Monday. Huawei, which ranked third last year, fell behind Xiaomi in the third quarter by selling 16.8 million smartphones. China's Lenovo, which acquired Motorola, and LG, which is rapidly regaining its former sales volume, are both vying for the No. 3 spot but fell short of Xiaomi.

        chosun.com

The champagne is popping over at Xiaomi headquarters as according to IHS iSuppli, the company is now the third largest phone manufacturer. The analysts reports that Xiaomi outpaced Huawei with a total of 19 million smartphones shipped in Q3 2014. For the same period, Huawei managed to sell 16.8 million smartphones.

In just four years, the small Chinese company has grown so large thanks to their disruptive tactics especially in their pricing compared to other phones

iaomi was founded in 2010. Since then, the company has grown consistently and has now become a serious threat for market leaders like Samsung and Apple. It has taken only four years for Xiaomi to grab the third spot. It is followed by other well-known companies like Huawei, Lenovo and LG. GforGames states Xiaomi took over the third position in China by beating Apple five months ago.

        ibtimes.com

Ongoing price wars between international and Chinese makers have resulted in some seriously VFM smartphones being churned out; the One from startup OnePlus, and the Xiaomi Mi 4 are only a couple such examples. We’re hoping to see a lot more action from Xiaomi not only in South Asia, but also in Europe (where a lot of its devices inevitably end up thanks to resellers) and the US. Xiaomi does have a couple of things to take care before eyeing western markets though; the most important of which is the security issues it has been facing, and secondly, its supply chains which are often found lacking.

Xiaomi has gotten so big that it overtook Samsung and Apple as the number one phone maker in it's own home country, China

Earlier this year, Xiaomi even ousted Samsung and Apple to be the #1 maker by volume in its home country of China. Considering the rate at which it is growing, #3 worldwide is no surprise; but if you take into account the company’s background and the way it has operated, it certainly makes for quite a success story. However, Xiaomi still is better at its home games than away ones; according to sources, the 14.6 million out of the 15.1 million smartphones it sold this year were in the Chinese market.

        androidheadlines.com

In its home country of China, which happens to be the largest smartphone market in the world, there is fierce competition between different brands like Huawei, Lenovo, LG, Meizu, OnePlus One and Oppo to bag better market position.

        ibtimes.com

The leap is mainly due to booming sales on its home turf. According to market researcher Strategy Analytics, 14.6 million out of the 15.1 million smartphones Xiaomi sold in the second quarter were in China.

Rombongan Ke Bazar & 7 Lagi Pengalaman 'Best' Berpuasa Di Sekolah Berasrama

Bulan puasa ialah bulan yang penuh barakah, mesti semua dah tak sabar fikir nak berbuka apa esok

Image via Tenor

Tipulah kalau korang tak rasa teruja bulan puasa hampir menjelang. Bulan yang penuh keberkatan lah katakan. Bagi setiap individu, pasti korang pernah melalui pengalaman menarik ataupun pahit pada Ramadan sebelum ini kan?Begitu juga buat pelajar yang pernah tinggal di asrama satu masa dahulu, bila datang saja bulan Ramadan, pasti akan terbayang-bayang di ruang minda kisah pengalaman berpuasa di asrama dulu.

Agak-agak korang ingat lagi tak? Jom throwback balik memori dulu-dulu masa berpuasa di asrama!

1. Sahur paling simple

Image via Penggerak Generasi/Blogspot

Waktu sahur ialah waktu yang paling dibenci sewaktu di asrama dulu. Nak bangun sebelum subuh, siap-siap lepas itu kena beratur lagi nak ambil makanan. Belum Subuh lagi tau, dah pening kepala kalut nak makan. Jadi untuk elakkan semua kekalutan pagi-pagi, pelajar asrama ni mesti dah beli makanan awal-awal dari koperasi. Tak payah nasi dan lauk, milo dan roti atau biskut kering pun dah cukup. Janji isi perut!

2. Tidur berjemaah waktu prep

Image via Mufa Media/Blogspot

Puasa ke tak, memang ini adalah rutin kegemaran pelajar sewaktu prep. Iyalah bukan bulan puasa pun dah penat nak menghadap buku, inikan pula masa bulan puasa! Memang tidur berjemaah sajalah dalam kelas.

3. Beratur ambil makan seawal pukul 5.30 petang

Image via SMART

Yang ini memang selalu berlaku dalam kalangan lelaki. Almaklumlah kaum lelaki ni selera besar. Jadi nak elak daripada berbuka makan kurma saja, mesti dah beratur awal-awal. Nampak aja abang dewan bukak pintu dewan makan terus terjah ambik nasi dan lauk! Awal dua jam pun tak apa, janji makanan berbuka ada.

4. Rombongan ke Bazar

Image via JAKOA

Tak syok lah bulan puasa kalau tak pergi bazar kan! Kalau hari-hari pun makan makanan dewan makan saja pun bosan kan. Jadi, selalunya ketua dorm mesti akan bodek warden untuk bawak mereka ke bazar. Kadang-kadang penuh satu van sekolah ya! Kalau yang tak boleh ikut tu, macam biasalah mesti sampaikan kirim makanan saja.

5. Berebut chopp meja untuk berbuka

Image via WixSite

Yang ini pula sering berlaku dalam kalangan pelajar perempuan. Ingatkan berkawan saja nak pilih chopp-chopp rupannya nak berbuka pun sama! Selalunya golongan ni mesti akan ambik makanan untuk satu meja dan letak nama kumpulan. Kononnya tak nak bagi orang lain ambik tempat dan join meja sekali. Bila fikir balik, rasa kelakar pun ada!

6.  WAJIB hadir ke kelas tadarus dan usrah setiap petang

Image via DrMuna

Disebabkan bulan yang mulia, jadi para pelajar digalakkan mengisi masa lapang dengan beribadah. Jadi, setiap hari kelas tadarus akan bermula selepas waktu Asar. Minggu pertama tu selalunya memang bersemangat tapi bila dah masuk minggu kedua tu mulalah tak cukup ahli. Faham-faham sajalah ya!

7. Ganti tidur sementara menunggu waktu Isha' masuk

Image via Afdhalilahi

Biasalah lepas dah berbuka, mesti semua rasa mata ni layu saja kan. Dah melantak macam-macam, badan pun rasa lemah saja. Macam biasalah, habis je waktu Maghrib nak tunggu waktu Isha' masuk mesti semua dah keluar saf. Bukan nak pergi mana-mana pun tapi masing-masing cari spot yang best untuk tidur kejap!

8. Menu berbuka yang special akan ada waktu majlis berbuka saja

Image via SMART

Menu di dewan makan mesti bertukar setiap dua minggu saja, kadang-kadang tu rasa muak makan lauk yang sama saja. Tapi, buat pelajar asrama ni setiap kali cikgu buat pengumuman ada majlis berbuka puasa hujung minggu nanti mesti semua lompat keriangan! Mana taknya, waktu majlis berbuka sajalah dewan makan hidangkan makanan sedap. Rindunya!

Scotland Becomes First Country In The World To Make Period Products Free For All Citizens

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

In a history-making move, Scotland has become the first country in the world to make period products free for all their citizens

The Period Products bill was unanimously passed in November 2020, and as of Monday, 15 August this year, it was officially passed as law by Scottish legislators. A landmark decision, the enactment of such a decision has made Earth-shattering progress for a global movement that has come to be known as 'period poverty'.

Image via Change.org

According to the law, period products will now be available to access in public buildings across Scotland, including schools and universities

Local authorities and education providers will be delegated responsibility to ensure that all these products will be free of charge.The passing of this law seems to follow a progression in Scottish legal precedent, as the government announced back in 2018 that students in schools, colleges, and universities across the nation would be able to access sanitary products for free. It was expanded further in 2019, when the products were made available in libraries and recreational centres too.

The overall movement for the bill was championed by parliamentarian Monica Lennon, who took to Twitter to celebrate the institution of the act

"Proud of what we have achieved in Scotland," said Lennon after quoting a report by Bloomberg of the news. "We are the first but we won't be the last."

Image via Twitter

Echoing similar sentiments, Social Justice Secretary of Scotland Shona Robison gave her take in a statement released by the Scottish government."Providing access to free period products is fundamental to equality and dignity, and removes the financial barriers to accessing them. This is more important than ever at a time when people are making difficult choices due to the cost of living crisis and we never want anyone to be in a position where they cannot access period products."Elaborating on their efforts to end period poverty, Lennon stated that it would be reasonable to expect 20% of the menstruating population to make use of the enactment, as inequity statistics demonstrated that nearly 20% of women in Scotland live in poverty.

Currently, only a handful of countries have a zero tax policy for sanitary products, which include Canada, India, Australia, and Kenya.

“Nama Bayi Baru Lahir Tidak Boleh Melebihi 80 Abjad” - JPN

TERKINI: Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) melarang ibu bapa untuk mendaftarkan anak mereka dengan nama panjang sehingga melebihi 80 aksara

Menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Berita Harian, Timbalan Ketua Pengarah (Operasi) JPN, Jasri Kasim berkata bahawa 80 aksara itu turut merangkumi nama bapa, bin atau binti dan juga simbol seperti koma dan sebagainya.Ini juga kerana ruangan nama yang disediakan di dalam borang pendaftaran adalah TERHAD. Hanya sehingga 80 abjad malah jarak antara perkataan juga akan dikira sebagai satu abjad.

Image via Hello Sehat

Oleh itu, beliau juga meminta supaya ibu bapa mematuhinya. Manakala untuk rekod nama individu yang paling panjang setakat ini adalah 78 aksara.

Jasri juga menjelaskan mengenai hal ini bahawa pemberian nama yang membawa maksud tidak baik dan panjang juga secara tidak langsung akan memberikan kesan kepada anak-anak

“Ini menyusahkan anak mereka kelak khususnya ketika berurusan rasmi dengan agensi kerajaan kerana tidak semua jabatan menyediakan ruangan nama yang mencukupi seperti di JPN."Tambahnya lagi, Jasri juga mengatakan rasa kasihan kepada anak yang mempunyai nama yang agak panjang. Ini kerana setiap kali musim peperiksaan, orang lain sudah menjawab beberapa soalan, namun mereka masih mengisi nama di kertas soalan.

Image via Sirap Limau

Bukan setakat itu sahaja, selain pemberian nama yang membawa maksud tidak baik, turut ditegah memberikan nama anak dengan kumpulan nama gelaran yang dikurniakan oleh kerajaan seperti Tun, Tan Sri, Datuk, Datin, Puan Sri, Datuk Patinggi, Datuk Wira, Datuk Bentara Dalam dan Datuk Bentara Luar.Ini diikuti nama pangkat atau jawatan contohnya, haji, imam, nabi, mufti, ketua menteri, gabenor, sarjan, laksamana, hakim atau permaisuri.

Lepas ini letak nama anak pendek-pendek jelah ok?
Senang nak sebut, senang nak ingat. ;)

People Are Already Reselling The 'BTS Meal' Sets Online At Higher Prices

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

A day after the release of the highly anticipated McDonald's 'BTS Meal' yesterday, 26 May, netizens were amused to find packaging for the meal being sold online

The meal was released in collaboration with Korean musical icon BTS — also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan — and it comes with 10 pieces of Chicken McNuggets, a Coke, Medium Fries, and two exclusive sauces.On the first day of the launch, ARMYs — members of the band's loyal legion of fans — rushed to their nearest McDonald's to get their hands on the limited time only meal, which comes with BTS exclusive packaging.

Image via GIPHY

In just 24 hours, packaging of the meal was already being resold on online marketplaces, such as Shopee and Carousell.
"Sanitised and wiped. 100% clean and no smell," one seller wrote on an e-commerce site.

AmanzPromo, a Twitter account dedicated to sharing the latest discounts and promo codes, shared a screenshot of someone reselling the packaging on Shopee today, 27 May.According to the tweet, the seller is selling the McDonald's x BTS menu collab packaging for RM21.90, which is slightly more expensive than the actual meal itself. The meal costs RM15.70 at certain stores.Others have also taken to different marketplaces, such as Carousell, to resell the packaging. The normally disregarded food boxes and paper bags now have intrinsic value after having the BTS logo in the band's iconic purple shade printed on.One reseller mentioned that the packaging had been sanitised and cleaned, following concerns of the rise of COVID-19 cases nationwide.The description on the Carousell product page states they "took out the food from the box and cleaned with antibacterial wipes, [poured] out the coke without using the cup to drink".

Many netizens were bewildered by the sale of the packaging

Some Twitter users said the packaging at some McDonald's outlets have run out, while others likened the packaging to 'gold'.

Hukuman Penjara Jika Anda Jual Kereta Kepada Rakan, Untuk Rakan Sambung Bayar - PDRM

Pernah tak anda terfikir untuk jual kereta anda kepada seorang rakan, kemudian rakan tersebut akan sambung bayar sampai hutang langsai?

Selepas menggunakan kereta selama contohnya 3 tahun, kita mula terfikir untuk menjualnya, bagi menggantikannya dengan kereta baru. Kita juga mungkin berasa lebih baik menjualnya kepada seorang kenalan rapat, dan hanya berurusan secara lisan tanpa sebarang kontrak.

Image via SAYS

Maklumlah, kalau berurusan dengan pihak yang sah, macam-macam dokumen perlu ditandatangani, dan macam-macam peraturan perlu diikuti. Prosesnya agak leceh.

Tapi tahukah anda, menjual kereta anda kepada seorang kenalan, kemudian baki dibayar sepenuhnya oleh kenalan anda itu, sebenarnya adalah salah di sisi undang-undang?

Menurut PDRM, sesiapa yang didapati bersalah boleh dihukum dengan denda tidak melebihi RM3,000 atau dipenjarakan tidak melebihi 6 bulan atau kedua-duanya sekali.Mesti ramai yang tak pernah tahu, kan?

Baca kenyataan penuh PDRM di bawah:

Anda pembeli kereta sambung bayar? Atau anda nak jual kereta untuk sambung bayar?Dah tahu ke tentang Akta Sewa Beli 1967?Jangan cakap lepas ni Polis tak bagi info bahawa jual beli kereta sambung bayar adalah SALAH!

Image via blogspot.com

Secara ringkas dan mudah untuk diterangkan...Eric beli kereta dan buat pinjaman daripada Bank dengan perjanjian 9 tahun bayaran ansuran. Apabila loan diluluskan, PEMILIK sebenar kenderaan tersebut adalah pihak Bank. Eric pula adalah PENYEWA. Hak milik akan bertukar selepas Eric selesai membayar pinjaman kepada pihak Bank.So, selagi Eric tak bayar habis, kereta tu bukan kereta Eric dan mana boleh Eric jual kereta milik Bank kepada orang lain. Dah la jual, tak beritahu pada owner (Bank).Walaupun Eric ada buat surat perjanjian dengan pihak ketiga? Ya, tetap salah you all..

Image via selangorkini.my

Adalah menjadi kesalahan di bawah:a) Seksyen 38 Sesiapa yang menjual barang-barang yang dibeli secara perjanjian sewa beli tanpa kebenaran daripada pemunya adalah melakukan kesalahan di bawah Akta ini dan jika didapati bersalah boleh dihukum dengan denda tidak melebihi RM10,000 atau dipenjarakan tidak melebihi 3 tahun atau kedua-duanya sekali.b) Seksyen 46Sesiapa yang melanggar peruntukan-peruntukan di bawah Akta ini dan jika didapati bersalah boleh dihukum dengan denda tidak melebihi RM3,000 atau dipenjarakan tidak melebihi 6 bulan atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Image via says.com

Akta ni bukan buat untuk menyusahkan rakyat. Ini adalah untuk melindungi dan mengatasi masalah serta risiko yang bakal dihadapi penjual/pembeli kereta sambung bayar. Antaranya..."Pemilik asal (Eric) memiliki kuasa mutlak ke atas kenderaannya selagi nama pemilik tidak ditukar. Bila-bila masa dia boleh minta balik kenderaannya dan anda perlu serah semula"So, jangan teraniaya ok. Dah sambung bayar 2-3 tahun tiba-tiba orang claim tu kereta dia. Nama tak tukar kt JPJ dan bank. So apa lagi yang kita boleh tuntut?Boleh rujuk booklet dari Jabatan Bantuan Guaman untuk lebih lanjut http://www.jbg.gov.my/…/risal…/booklet-akta-sewa-beli%20.pdfAdmin terlupa... Kes ini adalah dibawah bidang kuasa KPDNKK. Lagi contoh untuk kes yang disiasat oleh agensi lain selain PDRM.


Did The 'Fukushima Photographer' Fabricate His Story About Walking Into No-Go Zones?

Malaysian photographer Keow Wee Loong's photos from the Fukushima exclusion zone has been a hot topic of discussion among Malaysians and worldwide spectators alike since the pictures went viral in the past week

A screenshot of some of the photos published by Keow on 10 July 2016.
Image via Keow Wee Loong Facebook

Widespread attention from all over the world led to coverage from international news outlets such as CNN, TIME Magazine, Daily Mail UK, and Mashable, to name a few

Image via Keow Wee Loong Facebook

Keow has also received countless critical comments in regards to his photos, particularly from the Japanese community, who felt that his "sensationalised" photos are disrespectful to the victims of the disaster

In a post titled 'An Open Letter to the “Fukushima Exclusion Zone” Photographer, Keow Wee Loong', the writer included a comment from a resident of Fukushima who said: "Not only is what he did illegal, but extremely disrespectful to victims of the disaster who had no choice but to leave their homes. Additionally, his post is full of misinformation about the disaster, radiation, and much more, specifically aimed at promoting the sensationalist image of Fukushima, rather than the truth.”Keow was also chided for entering the exclusion zone without proper permits as well as not donning protective gear.

However, the most damning piece of criticism came from Polish photographer Arkadiusz Podniesiński, who alleged that Keow did not actually step foot into Fukushima's red zones to take those photos

Podniesiński also mapped out the sites where Keow is said to have taken his photos in.
Image via Arkadiusz Podniesiński

In a blog post, Podniesiński, who has visited Fukushima several times to photograph the aftermath of the nuclear disaster, wrote that Keow's photos were actually taken in the open green zones (which have been open and accessible to all) and not the red a.k.a. no-go zones as he'd claimed to do so. "The green zone in the town of Namie, where the photographer took most of his pictures, have had this status for at least three years and have been open to all since 1 April of this year. In Tomioka, where Keow Wee Loong also took photographs, these zones were open even earlier. Anyone who wished could enter them freely already a few years ago," Podniesiński wrote. "Radiation in the centre of Namie is approximately 0.1 uSv/h, and is therefore normal; it does not differ from most other cities in Japan and around the world. One doesn’t need a gas mask there, much less a full-face one. It isn’t necessary to hide from the police or hike through the woods for hours to get to Namie or Tomioka. Anyone who wants to can go there without permission."

While Podniesiński admits that he is a strong opponent of nuclear energy, he thinks that photographers and writers have a duty in giving accurate information to the public, which he said Keow did not do with his photos

"My interest is not to trivialise the catastrophic consequences of the failures of nuclear power plants. During [the eight years spent in Chernobyl and some in Fukushima], I have seen the effects of nuclear disasters enough to be opposed to this form of energy production.I am, however, a strong opponent of seeking sensationalism, 15 minutes of fame and the money that comes with it, which has become synonymous for me with Keow Wee Loong. Photographers and writers of unreliable and inaccurate texts, which are then replicated by hundreds of media outlets around the world," Podniesiński wrote. The Polish photographer has also included Google Street links to the sites he alleged Keow had actually taken his photos in. You can view them from his full blog post here.

In response to Podniesiński's allegations, Keow posted a comparison of the Polish's radiation zone map to his own GPS marks as well as those provided by Greenpeace and Huffington Post Japan on Facebook

Image via Keow Wee Loong Facebook

Keow also revealed that Podniesiński had previously contacted him to pinpoint the locations he had visited as the Polish couldn't identify all of them. He also highlighted that Podniesiński did not indicate that the locations in the white areas were actually included in the red zones.

Keow also took the opportunity to rubbish other allegations levelled at him as well as answer several questions he had been getting in the past week. You can read his entire post below:

Owner Of Plott Hound Which Bit Off Newborn's Hand Has No Licence For The Canine

A newborn baby in Melaka was recently attacked by a dog, causing her to lose her right hand.
Authorities have since discovered that the dog's owner does not have a licence for the animal.

Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) mayor Datuk Zainal Abu told New Straits Times that the Plott Hound is a German breed that is classified as a restricted dog breed in Malaysia.He said, "The pet dog is currently under a two-week quarantine at the Melaka Veterinary Services Department to ensure it does not have rabies." Besides that, he also assured that action will be taken against the owner under the Licensing of Dogs By-Laws (MPMT) 1984.

The male canine has been taken into custody under Section 41 (1) of the Animals Act 1953.
The state Veterinary Department will monitor the dog and dispose of it, if it shows any signs of rabies.

"If the dog does not show any sign of illness during the 14 days of quarantine, it will be handed back to MBMB for further action," said state Veterinary Department director Dr Aidi Mohamad, as reported by Bernama.

Section 41 (1) of the Animals Act 1953 states that a veterinary authority or a police officer not below the rank of Inspector may order the owner or person in charge of any dog that has or is reasonably believed to have bitten any person to produce the dog to him for examination.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) will allow those who received Sinovac vaccine to now obtain the Sinovac vaccine as their boosters

Sinovac's CoronaVac will be offered for walk-ins at offsite vaccination centres (PPV) under the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) from Monday, 14 February.In a statement today, 12 February, ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd said that those eligible for their booster doses and intending to receive this vaccine can refer to the list of offsite PPVs on its website.Offsite PPVs are vaccination centres operated by private medical practitioners and healthcare non-governmental organisations (NGOs) outside their private health facilities.This comes after the 7 February announcement by Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin that those who received two doses of the Sinovac vaccine are now allowed to receive Sinovac as their booster dose.

MOH, however, is still recommending Pfizer boosters for Sinovac recipients as it offers a higher level of protection, ProtectHealth said

"Any booster is better than no booster"

Quote-tweeting the ProtectHealth's announcement, Khairy asserted that booster shots using Pfizer/BioNTech's Comirnaty and AstraZeneca's Vaxzevria vaccines provide "best top-up protection"."Although MOH has recommended either receiving the Pfizer or AstraZeneca booster for extra protection, there are still those who ask for choices to be given. We are still strongly recommending either Pfizer or AstraZeneca booster shots but something is better than nothing," read the Health Minister's tweet.

Any booster is better than no booster. Walaupun @KKMPutrajaya syorkan dos penggalak Pfizer atau AZ untuk memberi top up perlindungan yang terbaik, ada yang masih minta pilihan. We still strongly recommend a Pfizer or AZ boost. But something is better than nothing. https://t.co/iyqM4AdnhX— Khairy Jamaluddin  (@Khairykj) February 12, 2022

Meanwhile, temperature checks and manual recording of personal particulars for entry into public premises are no longer required:
