Forget About The Northern Lights, Have You Heard About The Southern Lights?

As your Instagram feed gets peppered with breathtaking shots of the Northern Lights by world travellers, all you can do is marvel at their adventures through your phone screen

Image via Tumblr

It really doesn't help that you can only view them in faraway places (with correspondingly hefty airfares) like Canada and Alaska.
But WAIT. What about the Southern Lights much, much closer to home...in New Zealand and Australia?

Just like their Northern cousin, the Aurora Australis offers a stunning display of ethereal lights in unbelievably gorgeous hues in the sky

If you're interested in the science behind this natural phenomenon: the lights are emitted as a result of collisions between charged particles with nitrogen and oxygen in Earth's upper atmosphere.

Red or green-yellow lights are often the result of collisions with oxygen, with the green-yellow hue being more commonly seen.

Cool blue hues that form part of the aurora, on the other hand, are often the result of nitrogen-based collisions.

        wisegeek.com

If you're up for some Southern Lights stalking, plan your trip somewhere between late March and late September

Incredible displays occur at any time of the year, but to be on the safe side, pick a time between March and September. The winter months are naturally good aurora-watching times, simply because the nights are longer.The best viewing times are generally between 10pm and 1am, and the brightest displays usually last between 1 to 3 hours.

        bom.gov.au

The Southern Lights can be quite elusive, so keep these must-haves in mind to increase your chances of catching them in action:

    1. Strong solar activity - check Aurora Australis forecasts 2. Clear skies - clouds will make it more difficult to spot the lights3. Limited artificial lights - get as far away from the city as possible4. Limited moonlight - A full moon isn't the best time to view the auroras5. Try to get as high as possible; viewing from a hill or mountain helps!

        www.backpackerguide.nz

Here are some of the best places to view the Southern Lights:

1. Stewart Island, New Zealand

Located near South Island, Stewart Island is one of New Zealand's most remote destinations, and its relative isolation and extreme southern latitude make it an ideal spot for catching some aurora australis in action. This is reflected in the island's Maori name, Rakiura, which translates to "the land of glowing skies."

        gmedical.com

Image via TEARA

How to get there:Stewart Island is an hour's ferry ride away from the southern port city of Bluff. You can also choose to fly there from Invercargill Airport, which takes about 15 - 20 minutes.

2. Lake Tekapo, New Zealand

Being in the Dark Sky Reserve, Lake Tekapo is internationally recognised as having some of the darkest skies in the world. There are a number of high-in-the-mountain locations that are great to catch some magical displays, including the Mt John Observatory.

How to get there:Scheduled air or rail travel are not available to Lake Tekapo; the only way to get there is by road. Christchurch International Airport is the closest to the location, and is about a 3-hour drive away. A number of bus lines, including InterCity, also serve routes to Lake Tekapo.

3. The Catlins, New Zealand

The coastal area of The Catlins is the southernmost spot on the main land, making it an ideal location for some aurora spotting. The Waipapa Point Lighthouse area is a popular spot for a bit of star gazing.

        hubpages.com

How to get there: The Catlins is accessible from Christchurch International Airport, Queenstown International Airport, Dunedin Airport, and Invercargill Airport. Travellers often prefer flying to Queenstown and taking an incredibly scenic 3-hour ride down to The Catlins.

4. Tasmania, Australia

Given that Earth’s magnetic field is closest to its surface at the North and South poles, Tasmania's close proximity to the South Pole makes it one of the best spots to catch the Southern Lights. The South Arm Peninsula, with its abundance of beaches and wide shallow bays, is a great place to catch gorgeous reflection shots of the lights.

        australiantraveller.com

How to get there:Tasmania is only accessible via air or sea. Flights to Hobart and Launceston in Tasmania are available from Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. The Spirit of Tasmania sails from Melbourne to Devonport, and allows for cars to be brought onboard as well.

Basically, check out the Southern Lights if you're just DONE moving 'seeing the auroras' on your list from one year to another

Robber In Kelantan Ran Away After Jewellery Store Owner Started Reciting Azan

Startled by the recital of azan, a thief stopped dead in his tracks when attempting to steal from a jewellery store in Kota Bharu, Kelantan yesterday, 8 January

According to a report by Berita Harian (BH), the store owner, her 18-year-old daughter, and an ustaz were in a room in the shop for Quran lessons when they heard the thief breaking in. "Suddenly, a man, who looked to be in his 30s, rushed into the store and held a machete to the ustaz's neck. He then started threatening my mother to surrender her handphone.

"The suspect then grabbed my mother's handbag and some jewellery from the table. He picked up gold chains, pendants, and bracelets," explained Yuni, the store owner's daughter, as reported by BH yesterday.

Dissatisfied with his haul, the thief tried to break open the display cases that held more jewellery in the store. That was when Yuni's mother started reciting azan loudly. It completely shocked the thief, who backed away and fled on his bike with the cash and jewellery he stole earlier which amounted to around RM40,000. Azan is the Islamic call to prayer.

District police chief Assistant Commissioner Ismail Mat Sidik confirmed the case

The authorities managed to spot the suspect from the neighbouring store's CCTV recordings and have launched a manhunt to track him down. Assistant Commissioner Ismail also urged members of the public to contact the police immediately if have any details regarding the robbery.

Finance Ministry: Mobile Prepaid Cards Are Exempted From SST

Malaysians will not be required to pay the Sales and Services Tax (SST) for mobile prepaid cards, the Finance Ministry said in a statement earlier today, 5 September

Image via Sinar Harian

According to the New Straits Times, the exemption, listed under Section 34(3)(a) of the Service Tax Act 2018, will kickstart tomorrow, 6 September. "The exemption is necessary to overcome problems from these companies, which are facing difficulties to change their systems immediately," the statement reads.

The statement also called on telcos to abide by its rules, adding that customers should get their full credit value when topping with prepaid cards

Image via Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia

"Other methods will be announced later for these telco companies so that the government will not lose out in efforts to ensure customers receive full value for the money they pay," it further explains.

Consumers had been complaining about getting less value when they reload. For example, a RM10 top up would only come with RM9.43 of credit after 6% tax deduction.

Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng lambasted telcos for the deduction, saying that they were "making lives difficult.""Why are they (telcos) going to make lives difficult? Do they have no other work to do? We are meeting the telco companies. This one is no problem. Prepaid cards are the same (no SST)," he said as quoted by Malaysiakini last Sunday, 2 September.


Long-Abandoned Beach Resort In Penang Is Said To Reopen In 2025

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

Formerly a luxury resort located on the beachfront of Teluk Bahang, Mutiara Beach Resort has been long abandoned, and carries a lot of history within its walls

Once a popular tourist spot and a frequent choice of stay for those taking a trip to the Pearl of the Orient, Mutiara Beach Resort went out of service in 2006.However, a recent announcement states that the hotel is set to rebrand itself, and reopen in 2025.

Built in 1987 and officially opened in 1988, the resort had a total of 438 hotel rooms, and 1,500 members of staff that served at the getaway

Among some of the most popular guests included former prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, as well as the Sultan of Selangor. Set in luxury and compared to the standards of St. Regis and Equatorial Plaza, vacation lovers from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s will recall Mutiara Beach Resort as 'the' place to stay, being one of the most elegant and opulent hotels in Southeast Asia.

The hotel was eventually closed for renovation in 2006, and set to reopen in 2008, but was further delayed to 2009, where it never came to fruition

Left abandoned until present day, this once glorified and magnificent structure now stands hollow and unkept. From the uneven growth of greenery throughout the surrounding region, to the browning dried up swimming pool as seen in recent pictures, Mutiara Beach Resort has developed a reputation over the years as one of Malaysia's 'haunted hotels'.Nonetheless, these insinuations amount to pure hearsay, landing it on the list among other abandoned and 'haunted' hotels, such as Amber Court in Genting Highlands.

After 16 years of standstill, the resort is set to reopen in 2025 and rebrand itself as InterContinental Penang Resort

This comes after an announcement by the Penang State Executive Councillor, Yeoh Soon Hin, who oversees tourism of the state. IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's largest luxury hotel chains, is partnering up with Tradewinds Corporation Berhad, the owner of the former Mutiara Beach Resort, to revive this once prestigious hotel. According to the vice president of Hotel Development For South, East Asia and Korea for IHG, Serena Lim, "We can't wait to bring the world's first and largest luxury hotel brand to Malaysia's second-largest city with InterContinental Penang Resort."

While these are some of the amenities announced thus far, the range of entertainment hubs are said to expand over time.

They Were Caught Stealing Coconuts So Villagers Tied Them To A Coconut Tree

In an incident that occurred at 10.30am yesterday, villagers in Sitiawan tied two men to a coconut tree after they were caught stealing coconuts at the compound of Sekolah Agama Rakyat Al-Hidayah in Kampung Batu 7 Lekir

Image via The Malay Mail Online via Facebook/DTTB

The two men were spotted by the owner of a grocery store

After being alerted by the grocery store owner, villagers went to the scene.The angry villagers found one man loading coconuts into his Proton Wira, while the other was heading to a nearby shop.The coconut thieves, who were unaware that they have been spotted climbing a five-metre high coconut tree, were apprehended and tied up — to the same coconut tree.

According to former village head Mohd Yaacob Hashim, the coconut thieves were tied up to teach them a lesson

"They admitted to having taken the coconuts and we then tied them both up to the tree using the rope they had utilised to pluck the fruit," Yaacob Hashim told The Star.He said one of them was in his 30s while the other was in his teens, adding that they had begged to be released, claiming it was the first time they had stolen coconuts.

While the villagers had tied them up, they did not hit or hurt the coconut thieves and waited for police to arrive

"We tied the both of them while waiting for police to arrive, and we did not hit or hurt them. Who would have thought in this blessed month there were still people who performed immoral activities (like stealing)," the former village head said.

The woman told reporters that while she does not place bets regularly, she relies on specific numbers when she does

"I only buy numbers when I feel good, so I do not buy for every draw. This pair of winning numbers — 1559 and 7886 — are my special numbers which I would buy regularly." she said while collecting her winnings at Sports Toto's head office in Kuala Lumpur."It must be the Chinese New Year's good luck that made me the winner," she joked.

When asked what she plans to do with her winnings, the 52-year-old revealed that she will be sharing them with her children

The woman, who plans to keep her job as a clerk, will also be investing in property, Mothership reported.

The 40-year-old manager relied on the numbers are 7886 and 8875 as they were part of his girlfriend's phone number."The numbers are meaningful to me and my girlfriend and that’s the reason I always bet on these numbers," he said.The man plans to use the winnings to pay off his debt, theSundaily reported.


Students Were Tested On Their Uniform Ironing Skills For A Sabah School's Entry Interview

Photos of incoming Form One students ironing school uniforms as part of an interview process for a boarding school in Sabah has gone viral on social media

A former student of Sekolah Menengah Sains Lahad Datu shared the photos on Twitter after finding them on his former teacher's Facebook profile.At the time of writing, Twitter user @hasifgan's post of the "rare" interview requirement has garnered over 9,000 retweets.

"This is a good change as you probably won't see students wearing wrinkled shirts during morning assemblies anymore," Hasif wrote in the tweet.

Image via @hasifgan/Twitter

"During my time studying there, there was no such thing as an ironing test. If I'm not mistaken, it was introduced this year, for the new intakes," the University Putra Malaysia student, who attended the school from 2010 to 2014, told mStar Online."To me, even if this seems like a minor change, it's extremely important as it teaches students to at least look tidy in school."

Image via @hasifgan/Twitter

Netizens sung the school's praises for setting expectations for students to be independent from as early as the interview stage

"When the students' image is tidy, the school's image only gets better. Good thinking!" wrote one Twitter user.Another netizen joked that, "We need something like this as part of the interview for renting houses. A test on cleaning the sink/kitchen!"

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

Malaysian woman Cynthia Murphy is appealing to members of the public for help after her grandmother was diagnosed with a heart condition that requires urgent surgery

In an Instagram Story — which has been circulated by netizens across multiple social media platforms — Cynthia said her grandmother is suffering from a 'widow maker', whereby four main arteries in the heart are 99% blocked."With her current condition, as per advice by medical experts, the surgery has to be done within a week as her current expected survival rate is less than a month," wrote Cynthia."Hence the urgency, we need to get her a major Heart Bypass surgery (CABG) in a week's time."

She revealed that the cost of the surgery is a whopping RM45,000

"Unfortunately, the high cost of surgery came too sudden for the family to gather the money in a short amount of time," she lamented."I am starting this fundraiser in hopes that we can fix my grandmama's heart in time. I can only hope that you will be able to help me and my family in this time of need."

Speaking to SAYS, she said her family learnt about their grandmother's condition last Saturday, 2 April, and they were given a week to arrange for her surgery

"Hence, it was why we are unable to come up with the amount in such a short time limit," she said when contacted.She also clarified that her grandmother will be admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN), not a Columbia Asia Hospital.

In an update yesterday, 5 April, she said her grandmother visited IJN and the doctors had set 9 April for surgery, as she is currently on blood thinners medication."Till then please keep praying for her. With her condition, they are worried she may go off in her sleep. So all the prayers and contributions are all we can hope for till then," she said on Instagram.

At the time of writing, her crowdfunding campaign on Go Get Funding has garnered about RM9,800

Separately, she told SAYS that she received a total of RM10,501 in her bank account. Some RM8,888.27 that she received in her PayPal account via Go Get Funding cannot be withdrawn as of yet "unless donors clear receipt because we don't have a donation option in our region", she said.Her family needs every help they can get to save her grandmother."Any amount will be a blessing that we will forever be grateful for," she wrote on the crowdfunding campaign website."All we need is the finance to give her an actual fighting chance and I thank each and every one of you in advance."If you wish to contribute you can donate to Cynthia's bank account.The details are as follows:Account number: 7062923510Bank: CIMBName: Cynthia Shammah MurphyMore information, visit Cynthia's Go Get Fund campaign here.

Mahathir Plans To Abolish BR1M And Politicans Have Mixed Reactions To It

Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad recently announced that the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) will be abolished eventually

In an interview with The Malaysian Insight published on 25 August, the Prime Minister said BR1M payouts will be gradually reduced, before being completely discontinued.He added that although his decision might be unpopular among the 7.2 million BR1M recipients, Malaysians should rely less on government handouts and become more independent."I have always talked about crutches... throw away your crutches, walk on your own feet. Then you will become strong and do well," Mahathir was quoted as saying by The Malaysian Insight.

Moreover, Mahathir also said former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak was "spoiling" Malaysians with BR1M."Najib spoiled the people by making them think that the government will give them money even if they don't work," the Prime Minister said, before alleging that BR1M was used to buy over people with "stolen money".

Following his statement, the Prime Minister has received mixed reactions from politicians and netizens on the matter:

1. Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak

In a Facebook post on 25 August, the former Prime Minister wrote that the funds allocated from BR1M payouts were from the rationalisation of subsidies and the Goods and Services Tax (GST), contrary to Mahathir's allegations. "BR1M is not (used) for political motives, and the criteria to receive it solely depends on (the recipients') monthly household income – regardless of their political affiliation," Najib wrote.

Image via Malay Mail

Najib added that BR1M contributes to reducing income inequality in Malaysia, and there was nothing wrong in taking money from the rich and the tax evaders to give to the poor."It's at times like this that the poor should be given help, not punished," the former premier wrote, before claiming that the Pakatan Harapan government favours the rich.

2. Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali

Image via theSun

Mahathir's sentiment on abolishing BR1M was shared by Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.New Straits Times reported Azmin as saying yesterday, 26 August, that a new economic strategy will replace BR1M in the near future."(The new initiative) puts focus (on) the welfare of the people, instead of corrupting and fooling the people," Azmin said, before voicing his support for Mahathir's decision. "Prime Minister (Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad) is right in pointing out that any form of cash bribe for political support must be stopped," the Economic Affairs Minister added.

3. Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin

In a series of tweets yesterday, Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin lashed out at Azmin's excuse for abolishing BR1M. "Azmin's excuse is very stupid," Khairy wrote in a tweet, before stressing that BR1M could be improved by verification of eligible recipients and imposing limitations on spending BR1M.

Saya bantah pengurangan atau pemansuhan BR1M. Alasan @AzminAli sangat dangkal. BR1M boleh dikukuh dari segi pengesahan penerima yang layak (better means testing) & perbelanjaan bersyarat (hanya boleh guna untuk beli barang2 tertentu sahaja).— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) August 26, 2018

The Rembau MP added that cash payout is a policy adopted by many other countries, which helps with the cost of living of the B40 low income earners. "If the payment of cash is corruption, then stop paying 'bonuses' and 'duit raya' (cash gifts) to civil servants. Be consistent," Khairy wrote.

Pemberian wang tunai (cash transfer) satu polisi yang diamalkan oleh banyak negara lain. Sangat membantu menanggung beban sara hidup bagi golongan pendapatan rendah B40. Kalau pemberian wang tunai itu sogokan, hentikan juga ‘bonus’ & ‘duit raya’ untuk kakitangan awam. Konsisten. https://t.co/hszfKlP9yd— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) August 26, 2018

4. Kapar MP Datuk Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid

Image via Malaysiakini

Earlier today, 27 August, Kapar Member of Parliament (MP) Abdullah Sani criticised the suggestion by Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali to discontinue BR1M, calling it "unacceptable". "It (BR1M) can only be discontinued when we manage to bring prices (of goods) and petroleum down, when salaries have gone up, then only there would be some form of balance," Abdullah Sani was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini."Why withdraw something that benefits the people? Some of the excuses given, such as not wanting to make people lazy, are unacceptable," the Kapar MP added.

BR1M was an idea developed by the Central Bank of Malaysia (BNM) under ex-governor Tan Sri Datuk Seri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz in 2011

Image via Malaysiakini

According to BNM's website, BR1M was meant to be a targeted subsidy to the low income, vulnerable groups. When asked on sustainability of BR1M, BNM responded with suggestions on revamping the cash payout."The sustainability of BR1M would depend on mobilising the lower income groups to break the vicious inter-generational poverty cycle and moving up the income ladder. To do so, BR1M could be enhanced by ensuring there is an exit mechanism by linking it to promotional programmes to enhance human capital and productivity," the Bank wrote in a statement dated 3 March.

What do you think about the eventual abolishment of BR1M? Let us know in the comments below.

GoPro Gets Even Tinier With Hero4 Session: Here's Why You Should Buy It

At 1.5-inch, the GoPro HERO4 Session is the company's smallest camera ever, (it's 50% smaller than other HERO4 cameras). Cube-shaped, it sits perfectly in your palm and can shoot 1080p video, still images, and time-lapses. There's only one main button which takes just one tap to turn it on and start recording, and one tap to stop.

What's more is that, unlike its bulkier older brothers, the HERO4 Session doesn't require a plastic box to be taken out into the water

The Session, available on July 12 worldwide, is superior in every possible way: It has the high-quality HD video recording you expect from a GoPro and a new dual-microphone system for the best sound out of any GoPro.The Session's sealed design also means it's waterproof up to 33 feet without needing a waterproof case the way other GoPros do.

The Hero4 Session features several distant advantages over its counterparts. First, it doesn’t need a case to be waterproof or shockproof. This is key. Other GoPro cameras require various cases and accessories to survive a dip in the pool or a bounce on the floor. The Session waterproof to 10 meters.With the waterproofing, GoPro built a new microphone system that works similarly to human ears. A membrane drains water that’s trapped on the microphones. And this happens crazy quick: Just a second or two. This means that the GoPro can pick up clear audio moments after leaving the water. There is also a rear-facing microphone, which the camera switches to when it detects high amounts of wind noise on the front microphone.The Session detects its mounting orientation and automatically rotates the video.

The smaller size, however, comes with concessions

The camera lacks the 4k recording capability found in GoPro’s high-end models. The battery is also not replaceable or swappable. Yet the camera still hits a sweet spot. The Hero4 Session is the best GoPro yet.

        techcrunch.com

But the sticking point for consumers is still going to be the price. It’s $399, which is the same price as the HERO4 Silver, which, as the Verge points out, can shoot at a higher resolution and can take higher resolution still photos as well.On top of that, the Session isn’t the only cube-shaped action camera on the market. Polaroid’s CUBE camera costs $99 and can also shoot 1080p video, though its battery life isn’t quite as long.

        qz.com

GoPro is also launching a handful of new mounts

First there’s the Ball Joint Buckle, which is basically your standard GoPro clip with the ability to rotate the camera around 360 degrees without having to unclip it. One will come with every Hero4 Session and they’ll be available separately, too, for a price that’s yet to be determined.There’s also The Floaty, which you jam your Session into to keep it from sinking. It’s made from the same kind of foam rubber they use for Crocs. That’ll be 20 bucks. My favorite new mount is The Strap (a.k.a. the Ironman, unofficially). It’s very versatile and allows you to attach your camera to your hand, leg, arm, wrist, foot, etc. That’ll run you $60.

There’s also The Jam for mounting GoPros to musical instruments ($70, which is steep), and the Casey, which is GoPro’s first storage/organization solution for your camera and all its little parts. Lastly, there’s the WindSlayer, which is a windscreen made of foam that goes around your Hero3, 3+, or 4 when it’s in the Frame mount. It muffles that rushing sound of wind which should result in less shrieky video. Twenty bucks for that.

        wired.com

Why you should buy it

It's a versatile, durable, waterproof camera for capturing fast-paced moments of life, minus the complicated nature of previous GoPro's two-button design and menu system.The HERO4 Session would be a good addition to a content creator's camera kit, enabling them to capture some unique perspectives that weren’t available before, effectively enhancing their storytelling abilities.Its lightness and low-profile design make it a great complement for bikers who want a helmet-mounted action cam, or musicians looking to capture interesting angles at a gig.

Easily capture front and back footage by flipping the Session in mid-action.

The smaller size also makes it easier to hide — a big boon for hidden camera shows or for recording reactions.This is the easiest to use GoPro yet. It's a little 1.5-inch cube, so it's small enough to mount just about anywhere. Fully waterproof without a case, even the microphones.

The Session's small size makes it mountable in places the other bigger Hero cameras can't be.

A DBKL Officer Severely Hurt Himself While Trying To Save A Puppy Stuck In A Storm Drain

A Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) officer, Amran Mat Dali, was walking on the beach with a friend in Teluk Kemang, Port Dickson when he heard a puppy yelping from a drain nearby

Berita Harian reported that while the 40-year-old was off-duty on a family vacation, he did not hesitate to rescue the stray puppy when he saw it was trapped in a large monsoon drain underneath a cemented cover.Unfortunately, as he stepped closer to help the dog, the drain cover gave way beneath him and he fell a distance of three metres, landing hard, and severely injured his left knee.

"Luckily at the time, my friend and a fisherman nearby called the Teluk Kemang Fire and Rescue Department and the police to help get me out of the drain," Amran told the Malay daily

He was sent to Hospital Port Dickson by ambulance, where it was later determined that he needed surgery for the injured knee.Amran said he requested to be transferred back to Hospital Kuala Lumpur but first quickly made a police report about the incident in Teluk Kemang."I didn't expect to face this unfortunate incident on our last day of holidaying in Port Dickson. We were supposed to return to Kuala Lumpur," said the father of three.He added that he has contacted Port Dickson's municipal council (MPPD) and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS) to report the drain cover that he said was too thin and dangerous."There will be more victims if this project is taken lightly, it is a threat to public safety," he said.However, MPPD has denied that the drains were under their administration, following which JPS promised to investigate the matter.

Image via Malaysia Animal Association/Facebook

Despite all that went on, Amran assured that his friend had rescued the puppy they initially heard crying for help

Amran's heroic effort, although ending in injury, gained the attention of Malaysia Animal Association, and the local organisation's president Arie Dwi Andika went to visit him in the hospital to give him a token of appreciation."These are the values and traits that the authorities should have towards stray dogs," said the organisation on their Facebook page while sharing Amran's story."This is proof that not all local authority officers do not like or are hostile towards stray dogs. Instead, they carry on their job according to the law and the responsibilities of their work."

Image via Malaysia Animal Association/Facebook

Netizens were also moved by Amran's selfless act, hailing him a hero and wishing him a speedy recovery

"Unsung hero. A true animal lover. Thank you and get well soon," said a Facebook user.

Image via Malaysia Animal Association/Facebook

"I hope you recover fully. God bless you sir, with good health and a happy life for saving the dog," said another user.

While this user said, "Thank you Mr Amran for your sacrifice in helping an animal in need."

Dulu Hidup Miskin Dengan Hanya RM25 Sebulan, Kini 'Hannah On Earth' Jadi Pengembara Dunia

Selalunya, bila kita lihat orang yang kerap mengembara sana sini, kita mesti akan anggap bahawa orang itu dilahirkan dalam keluarga yang mewah atau ada banyak duit

Image via tumblr.com

Setuju atau tidak, inilah satu persepsi yang pasti ada dalam benak fikiran masing-masing. Kalau tak banyak, mesti akan ada juga sekelumit tanggapan sebegitu. Setuju?Persepsi ini tidak semestinya benar. Bukan semua orang yang selalu travel ini hidup serba mewah sejak kecil. Sesetengah mereka mungkin hidup lebih susah daripada kebanyakan orang lain.

Salah satu contoh yang boleh kita lihat ialah kehidupan gadis traveller dari Malaysia ini yang menggelar dirinya sebagai Hannah On Earth

Hadhinah Fawwazah Nasaruddin atau lebih dikenali dengan nama Hannah On Earth.
Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

Hannah On Earth atau nama sebenar Hadhinah Fawwazah Nasaruddin merupakan seorang pengembara sepenuh masa di USA. Beliau kini telah menjelajah 47 daripada 50 negeri di USA dan bakal melengkapkan penjelajahannya tidak lama lagi.Mengembara ke semua 50 negeri di USA bukan satu perkara mudah, malah penduduk di USA sendiri pun belum tentu mampu melakukannya. Selain USA, Hadhinah juga telah mengembara ke lebih daripada 20 negara di serata dunia.

Sejak kecil, Hadhinah tidak pernah diberi apa-apa kemewahan kerana hidup serba kekurangan. Beliau yang lahir dalam keluarga miskin hanya tinggal dalam rumah pondok sahaja.

"Saya dilahirkan dan dibesarkan di Sandakan, Sabah dalam keluarga yang miskin dan tidak mempunyai apa-apa kemewahan. Tinggal pun hanya di dalam rumah pondok sahaja bersama ibu bapa dan adik beradik yang lain."Saya bersekolah di SK Kem Tentera Sandakan dari darjah 1 sehingga darjah 6. Saya sedar keluarga saya hidup susah. Saya hanya boleh mengubah nasib keluarga saya melalui pelajaran sahaja. Jadi, saya berusaha bersungguh-sungguh ketika di bangku sekolah untuk menjadi yang terbaik."Alhamdulillah, saya mendapat keputusan cemerlang iaitu 5A dalam UPSR dan berpeluang melanjutkan pelajaran ke MRSM Kuching, Sarawak. Hanya 5 pelajar sahaja yang mendapat 5A ketika itu dari sekolah saya, dan saya salah seorang daripadanya," ujar Hadhinah membuka cerita.

Ketika di MRSM Kuching, Hadhinah sekali lagi cemerlang apabila berjaya mendapat 8A dalam PMR. Kemudian, beliau bertukar sekolah ke MRSM Kota Kinabalu, Sabah kerana lebih mudah untuk menjenguk keluarga di Sandakan.

"Waktu itulah saya berpeluang untuk mendaki Gunung Kinabalu. Ia merupakan salah satu requirement untuk setiap pelajar di MRSM KK. Saya begitu gembira dan berasa sangat teruja. Tak sangka orang miskin macam saya akan dapat peluang sebegini.

"Saya masih ingat, ketika itu duit belanja saya hanyalah RM25 sebulan. Bila dibahagi kepada empat minggu, saya boleh belanja RM6.25 sahaja seminggu. Inilah antara detik hidup yang saya rasa paling mencabar."Saya dikelilingi rakan-rakan yang lebih mewah. Kebanyakan mereka akan membelanjakan wang untuk membeli ais krim dan makanan lain. Saya pula terpaksa bergantung 100% kepada makanan di dewan makan. Mujur mereka menghidangkan makanan 6 kali sehari," kata Hadhinah.

Namun begitu, walaupun hidup miskin, ibu bapa Hadhinah sentiasa mengingatkan beliau untuk tidak meminjam wang dari sesiapa, dan sentiasa mendoakan kebahagiaan orang lain

Ibu bapa Hadhinah.

"'Lebih baik tak ada duit daripada pinjam duit,' pesanan ibu bapa saya yang saya sentiasa pegang sejak kecil. Ibu bapa saya selalu berpesan, walaupun hidup miskin dan tidak bernasib baik seperti orang lain, ingatlah bahawa rezeki Tuhan ada di mana-mana."Daripada kita mencemburui, adalah lebih baik jika kita doakan kebahagiaan mereka. Itu rezeki mereka.  Ibu bapa saya juga sangat terapkan nilai berkongsi. Masa kecil dulu, bila kanak-kanak lain dapat mainan baru, kami tak dapat apa-apa. Kami hanya bermain dengan mainan lama yang kami ada dan sentiasa berkongsi bersama adik beradik."Tetapi syukur saya katakan, hidup saya sekeluarga sentiasa gembira. Kami tak ada rumah mewah, kami tak ada pakaian berjenama, tetapi kami sentiasa cukup makan dan boleh hidup bahagia disamping orang tersayang," kata Hadhinah lagi.

Hidup Hadhinah mula berubah apabila beliau berpeluang melanjutkan pelajaran ke Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) selama 6 tahun. Di situlah bermula segalanya.

"Saya mengambil jurusan software engineer walaupun saya tak tahu apa-apa tentang komputer. Syukur keputusan saya memberangsangkan selama 3 tahun setengah mengambil Ijazah di UTeM sehingga melayakkan saya untuk menerima biasiswa bagi meyambung pelajaran ke peringkat Masters di universiti yang sama."Saya mula hiking semasa di tahun ke-3. Waktu itu saya memang aktif. Saya mendapat tempat kedua dalam pertandingan 'Merdeka Eco Challenge UTeM 2008' dan juga merupakan salah seorang atlet bagi sukan kayak yang bertanding dalam MASUM bersama pasukan KLASKA," katanya.

Indonesia merupakan negara pertama yang menjadi pilihan Hadhinah untuk dijelajah. Dan pada tahun 2012, beliau sudah berjalan hampir ke semua destinasi popular di Kepulauan Jawa.

Hadhinah (dua dari kiri) bersama keluarga di Tugu Monas, Jakarta.

"Saya mula travel ketika tahun pertama Masters. Waktu itu mampu pergi ke Indonesia atau Thailand saja dulu. Itulah masanya saya discover yang saya sebenarnya sangat suka naik kapal terbang. Saya tanam cita-cita untuk pergi ke destinasi lebih jauh yang memakan masa sehingga berbelas-belas jam. Saya tak kisah habiskan masa yang lama untuk "terbang". "Ibu bapa saya galakkan saya untuk mencari sumber kewangan sendiri tanpa perlu mengharapkan orang lain. Jadi, disebabkan minat travel itu sudah melekat dalam diri, saya rajinkan diri melakukan kerja part time di kafe dan sebagainya."Pernah dalam satu tempoh masa, saya belajar dari Isnin hingga Jumaat di UTeM, kemudian bekerja secara part time di Kuala Lumpur pada Sabtu dan Ahad. Tiap-tiap minggu saya akan ulang-alik dari Melaka ke KL. Memang penat tetapi ini jalan yang saya pilih," katanya.

Hadhinah adalah seorang yang begitu menitikberatkan amalan menyimpan. Duit gaji yang beliau terima hanya digunakan tak sampai 20%. Baki 80% itu akan beliau simpan.

"Duit memang amat diperlukan untuk mengembara tetapi tak semestinya dalam jumlah yang banyak. Dengan RM1,000, saya boleh mengembara ke dua buah negara berbeza. Saya pernah bawa RM1,000 saja untuk travel ke Indonesia dan Thailand selama 3 minggu. Mustahil bunyinya kan?"Saya tidur di airport, tidur di hostel dengan harga RM10 satu malam, dan saya juga membuat kenalan baru untuk sertai mereka melakukan aktiviti. Selalunya mereka akan bersetuju kerana masing-masing mahu jimat. Perkara yang saya lakukan ini bukan mudah dan bukan semua orang sanggup buat," katanya.

Selain bekerja di kafe, Hadhinah juga pernah bekerja sebagai event manager selepas tamat belajar. Beliau sangat sukakan kerja itu tetapi terpaksa akur untuk berhenti kerana desakan ibu bapa.

"Ibu bapa saya tak berapa gemar saya bekerja dalam bidang ini kerana kerja ini memerlukan saya untuk bertemu dengan ramai orang pada waktu siang mahupun malam. Mereka rasa, pekerjaan sebegini tidak begitu sesuai untuk dilakukan oleh seorang gadis seperti saya. Jadi saya terpaksa akur kepada permintaan ibu bapa saya," katanya.

Walaubagaimanapun, ada hikmah di sebalik kejadian. Selepas berhenti kerja, Hadhinah bertemu dengan cinta hatinya iaitu seorang jejaka 'Mat Salleh', Joe dari USA.

"Kami berdua bertemu secara dalam talian. Saya berada di kemuncak stress ketika itu. Saya tak tahu nak mengadu pada siapa, jadi saya pilih untuk bercakap kepada strangers di Internet. Saya tak terfikir pun nak mencari pasangan pada waktu itu. Hakikatnya, saya berborak dengan ramai orang dan kebanyakan mereka sudi melayan saya dengan baik.

"Kemudian saya jumpa Joe. Saya memberitahu mengenai hasrat saya untuk melanjutkan PHD di United Kingdom dan meminta khidmat nasihat daripadanya. Daripada jawapan yang dia berikan, saya boleh nampak beliau memang seorang yang matang, terpelajar, dan cukup minat dalam pelajaran. Joe juga mempunyai minat mendalam yang sama seperti saya iaitu mengembara. Joe bukan seorang 'Mat Salleh' yang hanya sukakan parti dan perempuan.

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Kami akhirnya bertemu secara face to face di KL. Ketika itu, Joe berada di Thailand dan tidak boleh pulang ke USA disebabkan Visa telah luput. Jadi, beliau datang ke KL untuk renew Visa tersebut dan itulah kali pertama saya bertemu dengannya," kata Hadhinah.

Selepas mengenali Joe, Hadhinah berhasrat untuk melebarkan sayapnya ke USA. Tetapi, perjalanan yang terpaksa beliau tempuh tidaklah semudah yang disangka.

"Saya teringin sangat nak mengembara di USA tetapi agak sukar untuk memasuki negara itu pada mulanya kerana tiada alasan untuk saya beri kepada mereka yang membuktikan saya akan pulang semula ke Malaysia. Maklumlah saya tak kerja, saya tiada kereta, saya tiada rumah, dan saya tiada apa-apa komitmen langsung di negara sendiri. Jadi, mereka menganggap saya akan bekerja di sana secara haram.

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Ketika itu, saya sedang menjelajah negara-negara di Eropah bersama Joe dan rakan-rakan lain. Semasa di Berlin, Joe mencadangkan untuk kami melangsungkan perkahwinan supaya lebih senang untuk saya masuk ke USA di bawah 'Fiance Visa'. Ya, inilah Visa yang membenarkan saya masuk ke negara itu.

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Tetapi proses untuk memohon Visa tersebut memakan masa yang terlalu lama sehingga 9 bulan. Sementara menunggu, saya pun tinggal di Thailand keseorangan selama 5 bulan manakala Joe pula tinggal di USA. Sangat sukar pada masa itu tetapi perkara inilah yang merapatkan lagi hubungan kami. Selepas 9 bulan, dia terbang ke Thailand untuk bertemu saya dengan segala paperwork dan syukur segalanya berjalan lancar. Akhirnya, saya berjaya memasuki USA pada Mei 2014," jelasnya.

Mereka berdua akhirnya berkahwin di Johor dan mengadakan majlis perkahwinan mengikut adat resam Melayu yang begitu unik dan bermakna

Hadhinah dan Joe kini bergelar suami isteri.
Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Boleh kata, dialah penyelamat saya daripada kemelut stress yang saya pada waktu itu. Rupa-rupanya, keputusan saya untuk berhenti kerja dan akur kepada permintaan ibu bapa saya mempunyai hikmah yang begitu besar. Siapa sangka perkara sebegini akan terjadi kepada saya. Apa-apa pun, saya berasa amat bersyukur kepada Tuhan di atas pemberian nikmat ini," ujar Hadhinah.

Bercakap mengenai travel di USA, Hadhinah memberitahu kos yang diperlukan untuk mengembara di sana tidaklah terlalu mahal sebenarnya

"Menjelajah sekitar USA tidak memerlukan jumlah wang yang besar pun. Kos sewa kereta di sana hanyalah $18 sehari untuk sebuah kereta sedan lengkap, $36 sehari untuk kereta Mustangs, dan $56 sehari untuk kereta convertible (boleh buka bumbung). $20 di sana membolehkan saya membeli pelbagai jenis groceries dalam satu bakul besar untuk digunakan selama dua hari untuk dua orang.

"Satu jam bekerja secara part time di McDonald's akan dibayar sebanyak $10. Bayangkan jika bekerja sepenuh masa di USA, gaji minimum adalah sebanyak $3,000 sebulan. Dan GoPro pula hanya berharga $499. Masih ada banyak lagi baki bukan? Kuasa membeli di sana amat besar jika dibandingkan dengan Malaysia.

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Namun begitu, ada juga yang mahal. Sebagai contoh New York City. Kami menghabiskan lebih banyak duit dengan hanya tinggal di New York sahaja. Dengan wang itu, kami sebenarnya boleh melawat ke 2 hingga 3 bandar berbeza dengan kos yang lebih rendah.

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Nampak tak, staying is actually more expensive than travelling. Sebab itu kami pilih untuk sentiasa bergerak dari satu tempat ke satu tempat lain. Kami tak ada rumah, kami tak ada kereta, kami tak ada apa-apa komitmen, jadi kami sentiasa bergerak," katanya.

Hadhinah juga memberitahu bahawa layanan penduduk USA terhadap Muslim tidaklah seteruk seperti yang dilaporkan di media. Beliau sendiri mengakui tidak rasa seperti orang asing pun ketika berada di sana.

"Tak ada masalah untuk menjadi seorang Muslim di USA. Tapi kadang-kadang ada juga yang pandang pelik, tapi bukan kerana saya Muslim, cuma sebab saya nampak berbeza daripada mereka. Kini, semakin ramai orang yang boleh bertolak ansur dengan Muslim. Saya sendiri tak sangka pada mulanya.

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Saya faham, ramai orang Islam yang takut untuk menjejakkan kaki di bumi USA disebabkan Islamophobia dan macam-macam lagi isu berkaitan. Tetapi percayalah, mereka bukan orang jahat, malah mereka sebenarnya lebih mesra berbanding orang kita.

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Mereka tidak segan untuk menegur strangers di jalanan atau melemparkan senyuman. Bahkan, budi bahasa mereka juga begitu tinggi. Saya rasa kedatangan saya sangat dialu-alukan di sini dan tak rasa seperti orang luar pun. Mereka melayan saya dengan begitu baik sekali," kata Hadhinah.

Meskipun begitu, Hadhinah turut mengakui bukan mudah untuk berhijrah ke negara lain, terutamanya negara yang begitu jauh dari tempat tinggal asal

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Bukan mudah untuk tinggal berjauhan dengan keluarga dan berada di negara orang lain. Ada juga waktunya di mana saya menangis kerana terlalu rindukan keluarga. Tetapi saya sanggup korbankan semua itu demi mengejar cita-cita saya."Saya rindukan negara saya, keluarga saya, adik beradik saya, ibu bapa saya, rumah saya, tempat tinggal saya, dan macam-macam lagi. Cuma, apa yang boleh saya katakan, saya melakar lebih banyak detik gembira berbanding detik duka selama saya berhijrah. Oleh itu, saya bersyukur," ujar Hadhinah.

Apabila bertanya bagaimana cara beliau simpan duit, Hadhinah hanya menjawab, "Elakkan beli macam-macam benda"

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Ramai orang tanya saya bagaimana caranya untuk simpan duit dan berjimat cermat. Jawapan saya mudah iaitu, 'Just don't buy a lot of things.' Jangan pergi minum kopi mahal, jangan pergi tengok wayang selalu, jangan beli baju tiap-tiap bulan, dan elakkan beli barang bersifat "kehendak".

Image via Hadhinah Felice/Facebook

"Simpan duit bukanlah sesuatu yang magik. Kalau nak tahu lebih lanjut macam mana cara nak uruskan wang, pergilah melancong. Selagi duduk rumah, selagi itulah susah nak belajar. Pergi keluar, cuba, dan jangan terlalu memikirkan tentang duit. Kalau sayang duit, sampai bila pun tak akan keluar rumah. Always leave room for spontaneous things in life," katanya.

Akhir kata dari Hadhinah:
"Tuhan ciptakan dunia terbentang luas di hadapan mata kita untuk kita teroka seluas-luasnya, bukan untuk kita duduk di satu tempat sahaja. Jadi mengembaralah, kerana air yang mengalir lebih baik daripada air yang bertakung." :)

This BN Lawmaker Believes Stealing Is Not Wrong As Long As You Don't Get Caught

In the Dewan Rakyat today, 4 April, a Barisan Nasional (BN) lawmaker presented a bizarre analogy between politicians entering school premises, stealing, and riding a bike without a helmet

Tanjong Karang MP Tan Sri Noh Omar was arguing to demand equal and fair treatment for politicians from both sides entering school premises, reported Malay Mail.Noh Omar, who is also a UMNO strongman, was raising his issue with the regulation requiring all politicians to obtain permission from the Education Department before they could be allowed to enter school premises."The regulation has been around for a long time. But back then (during BN's administration) no one raised the issue," he said, as reported by the portal.

According to the lawmaker, stealing's only wrong if you're caught

			Stealing is not wrong, only when you are arrested it becomes wrong. Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is not wrong; only when the police arrest you, it becomes wrong.
        MP Tan Sri Noh Omar.

"The same with this regulation," he said in reply to Jelutong MP RSN Rayer's claim that during BN's administration no Opposition lawmaker was allowed into schools.In other words, the lawmaker compared a politician entering a school without prior permission from the Education Department — basically disregarding a circular — to someone stealing — literally committing a crime under Section 379 of the Penal Code — as one and the same as long as one is not caught doing them.

4 'Talking Points' Utama Menjelang Perlawanan JDT Vs Kedah Esok

Piala Malaysia hampir melabuhkan tirai, dan esok kita bakal menyaksikan pertembungan di antara dua pasukan terhebat tanah air; JDT dan Kedah

Image via Kedah News

Kedah telah menjuarai kejohanan Piala FA tahun ini dan merupakan juara bertahan Piala Malaysia sejak tahun lepas, manakala juara empat kali berturut-turut Liga Super, JDT mahu menambah satu-satunya koleksi piala yang masih "hilang" daripada kabinet trofi mereka.Walaupun Harimau Selatan berulang kali menegaskan bahawa Piala Malaysia bukanlah trofi penting yang dicari (JDT meletakkan keutamaan pada Liga Super dan AFC), mereka tetap berhasrat untuk menjulang piala tersebut setelah kempunan buat sekian lama.

Ini dia 4 main talking points menjelang Final Piala Malaysia:

1. Battle of 2 strikers

Mohammed Ghaddar (kiri) dan Sandro Da Silva.
Image via SAYS

Kedua-dua pasukan meletakkan harapan tinggi kepada penyerang prolifik mereka iaitu Sandro Da Silva dan Mohammed Ghaddar.Sandro Da Silva yang bermain untuk pasukan Kedah merupakan penjaring terbanyak dalam saingan Piala Malaysia musim ini dengan 9 gol daripada 10 perlawanan.Manakala penyerang terbaru JDT, Mohammed Ghaddar yang menyertai pasukan itu melalui perpindahan paling mahal dalam sejarah bola sepak tempatan pada Mei lalu berada di belakang Sandro dengan 6 gol.Siapakan yang bakal menggegarkan jaring gol Sabtu ini?

2. JDT tekad tamatkan kemarau 26 tahun

Image via TV14

JDT muncul juara Piala Malaysia buat kali terakhir pada tahun 1991 apabila berjaya menewaskan pasukan Selangor dengan jaringan 3-1 di Stadium Merdeka.Tiga tahun lepas, JDT melangkah ke perlawanan akhir dan hampir merangkul kejuaraan tetapi terpaksa akur dengan kekalahan kepada pasukan Pahang menerusi sepakan penalti selepas terikat dengan jaringan 2-2.Mampukah Harimau Selatan menundukkan Helang Merah?

3. Kedah melangkah ke final Piala Malaysia 3 tahun berturut-turut

Image via Mohamad Shahril Badri Saali

Helang Merah dianggap sebagai pasukan gergasi dalam saingan Piala Malaysia sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Buat tahun ketiga berturut-turut, mereka sekali lagi mara ke perlawanan akhir untuk menentang Harimau Selatan di Stadium Shah Alam.Pada tahun 2016 dan 2015, perlawanan akhir Piala Malaysia menyaksikan pertembungan di antara dua pasukan yang sama iaitu Kedah dan Selangor.Kedah tumpas di tangan Selangor pada 2015 dengan jaringan 0-2, kemudian berjaya merampas semula gelaran juara pada 2016 apabila memenangi perlawanan akhir menerusi sepakan penalti.Adakah Kedah akan juara lagi tahun ini?

4. Harimau Selatan tewas ke tangan Helang Merah dalam perlawanan Piala Sumbangsih pada Januari lalu

Image via Hairul Anuar Rahim

Kedah menafikan hasrat JDT untuk melakar hatrik selepas menang 5-4 menerusi penentuan sepakan penalti Piala Sumbangsih di Stadium Tan Sri Hassan Yunos, Larkin pada 20 Januari 2017.Kemenangan itu cukup bermakna selepas kali terakhir Kedah menjulang piala berkenaan 23 tahun lalu.Kedah merupakan pencabar terdekat JDT musim ini walupun sekadar menduduki tangga keempat dalam Liga Super. JDT yang tewas pada perlawanan pembuka tirai pastinya tidak mahu mengakhiri musim ini dengan kekalahan sekali lagi.Pasukan mana agaknya yang akan kecewa?

A Teen Girl Beats Up Her Alleged Harasser Inside Police Station While The Cops Watch

A video of a schoolgirl using punches, kicks, slaps, and even one of her shoes to beat up a boy who used to continuously harass her has gone viral in India.
According to local news outlets, the video was shot by a cop inside the police station and is of an incident that took place in UP, India.

Image via NewsX

In fact, one of the police personnel there seemed to be egging the girl to start beating the boy. During the start of the video, one person, apparently a cop, from behind the camera is heard saying, "chal beta, maar" (come child, beat). One of the police officers, visible in the video, can also be seen laughing as the girl beats up the boy.

Image via Daily Vartha

The video shows her demanding an apology while beating the guy. The person filming the video can be heard asking the boy to turn his face toward the camera. In the background of the video, multiple men can be heard shouting instructions to both the girl and boy in the video, and asking the alleged harasser, "Gaali kyun deta hai?" (Why do you abuse?). The incident took place on 3rd July.

Image via Daily Vartha

According to HT, the boy was identified as Ankit Rajput

The girl stopped Ankit Rajput's motorcycle on Sunday by blocking the way with her bicycle in front of Puranpur police station and dragged him inside the premises, police said. Though the police let the youth off with an apology as no complaint was made from the girl's side, superintendent of police JK Shahi has ordered an inquiry.

        hindustantimes.com

The girl, a student of class 11, told NewsX, in a video that has since been deleted, that the boy would harass her and her friends every day on their way from school by shouting vulgar abuses at them

Image via Daily Vartha

“He would always shout insults at us, but we would always remain calm. When his abuse got too vulgar and we couldn’t tolerate it anymore, we decided to take action,” she said in Hindi.“I stopped my cycle in front of his bike, took his bike keys, grabbed him by the collar, and gave him to the police. The police sealed his bike and locked him up,” she said.“Then I told my father, ‘I want to go beat him,’” she continued. “So my father came with me and I hit him. I hit him a lot.

Singh said that the girl and her alleged harasser are both juveniles and neither party pressed charges or filed an official complaint. He told BuzzFeed that settling complaints in this manner without filing official reports is common in rural areas.“I don’t want him to go to jail and I don’t want an FIR,” the teenage girl said to NewsX. “I wanted him to learn a lesson so that what happened to me today won’t happen to any other girl tomorrow.”
