How Japan's Ban On Child Porn Does Little To Prevent The Sexualisation Of Young Girls

After years of international pressure, Japan has finally voted to ban the possession of child pornography, thus sealing the loophole that allowed pedophiles to slide under the radar

Japan's parliament on Wednesday finally banned the possession of child pornography, making it a crime punishable by up to a $9,800 fine and a year in prison.

        kcra.com

The move makes Japan the last nation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to ban the possession of child porn. And though Japan previously outlawed the making of child porn, it did not punish simple possession of it.

However, the law still has a loophole permitting cartoon depictions of child porn in anime and manga, often referred to as lolicon

The exclusion was made after publishers' and lawyers' associations contended that a ban on such images would violate the constitutional right of free speech.

        theguardian.com

The new law, although, specific to "photographs and videos showing actual children," also leaves untouched a vast gray area in which young girls are depicted in sexually suggestive ways

This includes everything from images of the all-girl bands of Japanese pop music posing in lingerie and bikinis, to fantasy illustrations with the faces of prepubescent girls atop the scantily clad bodies of voluptuous adults.

        gawker.com

Such images attest to Japan’s more casual social attitudes when it comes to the sexual objectification of women of all ages, and also toward the consumption of pornography itself. (Reflecting those attitudes, the passage of the law barely merited a mention on the nightly news.)

        nytimes.com

Manga comics with graphic illustrations of sex are sold in neighborhood convenience stores and on train station platforms, and until the proliferation of smartphones, it was common to see men openly reading the comics and magazines featuring nude women while commuting to work.

        cnn.com

The fascination with the sexuality of young girls even has its own name in Japanese, "rorikon" — which stands for the "Lolita complex" — and is on prominent display in Tokyo’s Akihabara shopping district

Foreign visitors and locals can be seen there ogling explicit manga-derived posters, shirts and even small plastic dolls of young girls with highly exaggerated hourglass figures.

        nytimes.com

They stare wide-eyed from the pages of magazines, childlike in stature but engaged in extremely explicit sexual activities. They may be drawings, but critics say the images found on the pages of some of Japan's erotic manga are so disturbing they should be banned.

        cnn.com

The new law on child pornography is partly the result of a push by the Japanese police, who said that the failure to outlaw possession in the 1999 law had created enough continuing demand that the number of criminal cases involving the production and circulation of child pornography skyrocketed. That number jumped tenfold since 2000, to 1,644 cases last year, according to the National Police Agency.

        nytimes.com

What is manga?

Image via chinadailyasia.com

The term manga means "casual drawing." The earliest examples date back to the 7th century, but it became very popular in the post-war period, Macquarie's Bryce said. That coincided that with the work of the so-called "God of manga" Tezuka Osamu, the creator of "Astro Boy," one of the more popular Japanese characters that made the leap into Western media.

        theguardian.com

Now the industry is worth an estimated $3.6 billion in comic book and magazine sales, according to the Publishing Science Institute figures from 2013. Animation takes in another extra $2.3 billion, according to the Media Development Research Institute. As Bryce points out, only a very small proportion of the market peddles sexually explicit material involving children. "Very often people think manga equals sexual or manga equals violence. But it's only a part of manga... there are some very poetic, very beautiful ones," she said.

        cnn.com

How explicit are they?

To see what's being openly sold on Japanese shelves, CNN took a hidden camera to one of the many manga stores in the Akihabara district of Tokyo. The district is a known hub for "otakus," obsessive members of anime and manga fandom, a worldwide group of avid followers of the genre.

        cnn.com

Down a set of stairs, there are rows and rows of manga, many containing popular themes and images. But five feet away, in an area marked "adults only," the content took a sharp turn into shocking sex scenes, apparently involving minors. Some of the predominantly female characters wore school uniforms, hair clips and innocent expressions as they engaged in sometimes violent sex acts with dominant characters.

        cnn.com

Should it be banned?

Mio Bryce, an expert on anime and manga from Macquarie University in Sydney, said Japan's obsession with "kawaii" or cuteness made it difficult to distinguish whether the characters in the material were depicting children or not. "Cuteness means a generally more infantile character. Maybe the character is 20 years old, but maybe from your point of view, the character's 15 years old. It's very difficult," she said.

        guardianlv.com

Ken Akamatsu, who lobbies lawmakers on behalf of the Japan Cartoonists Association, said a total ban on explicit content would damage the entire industry, making creators too scared to put pen to paper in case they risked breaking the rules. He said the characters were imaginary, so unlike real child porn, no one was hurt. "Actual children suffering and crying is not acceptable. But manga doesn't involve actual children. So there are no actual victims," he said.

        cnn.com

Child welfare advocates disagree. Shihoko Fujiwara runs Lighthouse, a nonprofit for exploited children. She told CNN she once worked on a case where a predator used a cartoon to convince a child that sex abuse was normal. "So the pedophiles might bring the animation and say 'this is how you practice with adults,'" she said.

        nytimes.com

The bigger problem, however, is that manga permeates Japanese culture. It can be seen everywhere, from street signs to government pamphlets.

Anime is not included in the new law banning child abuse images in Japan
Image via guim.co.uk

Often, the characters depicted are young, vulnerable girls who meet consumers' desires for something "kawaii" or "cute." "'Cuteness is a problem," she said. "Because cuteness is something that makes you feel you have to protect the person, and there's a very fine line between 'I can protect the person' and 'I can control the person.'"

        cnn.com

She said the prevalent depiction of young girls, especially in "Lolita complex" material, risks giving "the wrong impression of women." "If you're looking at it all the time, how are you actually seeing people? Is it just a fantasy, or maybe some people with a bit of a wrong mind think that is actually there, and that is the way to treat women. So there is a risk," she said.

        guardianlv.com

The new law, which is expected to go into effect next month, will give violators a one-year grace period to get rid of pornographic images before they will be prosecuted

Image via wordpress.com

Speaking in Parliament, the justice minister, Sadakazu Tanigaki, said he hoped the new law would spur a broader change in social attitudes by sending a clear signal that it is no longer acceptable to objectify children. “We must fight against a tendency of looking at children as sexual objects, and allowing them to be taken advantage of, sexually and commercially,” he told the upper house on Tuesday, a day before it voted the bill into law. The lower house had passed the bill earlier in the month.

Kanak-Kanak Muntah 9 Kali Sehari, Badan Kemerahan & Cirit Birit Gara-Gara Susu Tiruan

Khamis lalu, Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan (KPDNKK) Johor merampas 210 kotak susu rumusan bayi yang disyaki tiruan dalam serbuan di premis kedai ubatan dan serbaneka di sekitar Johor Bahru

Dalam Operasi Produk Tiruan yang dijalankan kira-kira 12 tengah hari di premis di Iskandar Puteri, Mutiara Rini, Taman Orkid, Nusa Bestari dan Taman Daya itu, tiga daripada lima premis itu didapati menjual susu rumusan bayi (langkah satu) terbabit pada harga sama dengan yang asli.Menurut Pengarah KPDNKK Johor, Khairul Anwar Bachok, serbuan dibuat selepas menerima aduan daripada pengeluar susu berkenaan yang mereka mendapat satu kes bayi yang muntah teruk akibat menggunakan susu jenama itu.

Image via Kosmo!

Dan semalam, seorang pengguna Facebook, Seila Nawi telah berkongsi kisah mengenai derita yang dilalui oleh anak kecilnya setelah menggunakan susu tiruan tersebut

Image via Seila Nawi/Facebook

Anak kecilnya itu telah keluar masuk hospital sejak bulan Oktober lalu dan ditahan di wad lebih 2 minggu.Baca perkongsian Seila Nawi yang telah mendapat hampir 120,000 shares dalam masa kurang sehari di bawah:ENFALAC A+ TIRUANSemalam Allah bagi petunjuk kepada persoalan saya selama 2 bulan lebih.Ini bukan silap Mead Johnson, saya faham.Saya telah pon melaporkan kejadian anak saya kepada mereka hari ini. Tapi saya harap;1. Mead Johnson Malaysia & pihak KPDNKK telus untuk membanteras sekaligus menyalurkan maklumat untuk membezakan susu tiruan ni sebab ini untuk mendidik kita sebagai ibu bapa supaya tidak terus ditipu.2. Sedia untuk berkongsi maklumat keputusan kandungan susu tiruan dari jabatan kimia nanti.Oktober 2017, Anak saya, Mikael keluar masuk hospital, ingat lagi kan? Warded lebih 2 minggu. Punca masih tidak diketahui sehinggalah berita tentang susu tiruan semalam.Mikael bermula dengan muntah-muntah sehingga 9 kali dalam sehari. Kenapa sampai 9 kali, saya biar sahaja ke? Saya monitor dari rumah (kalau boleh nak elakkan ke hospital), dengan harapan & doa, Mikael akan reda dari muntah tapi tidak.

Image via Seila Nawi/Facebook

Saya bersyukur saya rekod & ambil gambar, sebab nak update husband saya yang jauh dari kamiTengahari tu, muka & badan Mikael dah start kemerah-merahan & panas. Setiap kali keluar merah2 tu, saya mandikan dia. Demam on off.Menjelang jam 3pm, Mikael dah lembik, terbaring, susu pon dia taknak minum. Jadi, saya tak fikir panjang, terus bergegas ke hospital terdekat.Wallahi, langsung tak suspect disebabkan susu, doktor pon interview saya, hanya bertanya apa makanan tambahan (solid food) yang saya bagi pada Mikael, atau ada tak Mikael termakan apa2 sahaja dari persekitaran dalam rumah (since dia dah merangkak ke sana sini-puas fikir, saya takde jawapan).Doktor terpaksa tahan Mikael di wad, sebab dehydration & untuk pemeriksaan lanjut.Masuk ke wad, dah drip, Mikael langsung taknak susu atau makan.Next, Mikael dah start cirit-birit. Najisnya, seumur hidup saya, itu yang paling busuk saya pernah hidu. Sangat busuk sehingga nurse tak dapat tahan baunya sewaktu proses nak ambil sampel najis untuk ujian makmal. Mikael cirit-birit 11 kali pada haritu.Pelbagai ujian dibuat, termasuk alergik test, result semua ok utk Mikael, takde apa2 alergik.Setiap najis diambil untuk ujian, namun doktor masih tiada jawapan utk punca.Selama di hospital, Mikael masih cirit-birit & demam on off, merah2 di seluruh muka & badan sekejap ada sekejap hilang.

Image via Seila Nawi/Facebook

Kemuncaknya, selepas seminggu, Mikael dah mula berak berdarah. Doktor decide dgn prosedur antibiotik. Saya sebagai ibu akur, walaupun berat hati ni, nak masukkan macam2 ubat dekat Mikael yang masih baby.Oh ya, sepanjang di hospital, saya tak bagi Mikael apa2 solid food (ye lah, doktor suspect mungkin alergik dari makanan tambahan) TAPI Mikael still minum susu Enfalac.Yelah, siapa sangka susu ada yang tiruan, lagipon Mikael bukan baru minum susu tu, dah beberapa bulan sebelum tu.Selepas 2 minggu lebih, sebab punca masih tak diketahui, Mikael dah nampak sedikit aktif, saya minta untuk discharged.Balik rumah, dah ada perubahan pada Mikael, way more better (sebab susu Enfalac pon dah beli pack baru (beli dari kedai lain), yang beli sebelum tu dah habis-HABIS saya bagi dia minum.Yang tanya, saya beli dari mana, saya tak dapat nak nyatakan kat sini, sebab pihak Mead Johnson sedang menyiasat rangkaian kedai serbaneka berkenaan di sekitar Selangor ni. Kita tunggu jawapan dari mereka nanti.Cuma nasihat saya, ibu2 yang masih nak teruskan anak dengan susu ni, boleh beli dari AEON & TESCO dulu, elakkan beli dari kedai-kedai ubat atau kedai rangkaian serbaneka buat sementara waktu sehingga mereka istiharkan isu ini selesai.Untuk saya, saya dah tukarkan Mikael dgn susu lain selepas pengalaman pahit ni.Untuk parents, kalau anak2 kita ada tanda2 macam saya sebutkan di atas, cepat2 bawak anak anda ke hospital. Saya doakan anak2 kita dielakkan dari terus menjadi mangsa.Kesan dari susu tiruan ini, Mikael masih recover dari kemerahan di muka & badan. Saya yakin ada bahan aktif dalam susu tiruan yang belum betul2 discharge dari badan dia. InshaaAllah slowly. Mohon doa dari semua jugak untuk Mikael.

Setelah isu itu tular di media sosial, semalam Mead Johnson telah mengeluarkan cara bagaimana mengenal pasti produk susu tiruan kepada pelanggan mereka

Dalam kenyataan di Facebook rasmi, Mead Johnson berkata cara paling mudah untuk mengesan produk tiruan adalah dengan memeriksa bungkusan kerajang aluminium susu berkenaan.“Susu Enfalac A+ Langkah 1 yang asli mempunyai bungkusan sedikit kembung. Manakala susu tiruan mempunyai lipatan tajam di kedua-dua bahagian bungkusan,” katanya.

From Mental Health To Social Stigma, This Malaysian Comic Sheds Light On Atopic Dermatitis

This Spotlight is sponsored by the Dermatological Society of Malaysia.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory condition that affects the largest organ of your body — your skin — making it red, dry, and itchy

Click to Reveal
Hide

Image via Dermatological Society of Malaysia (Provided to SAYS)

While it can occur at any age, AD is a severe type of eczema that typically presents itself in early childhood. Some grow out of the condition, but others continue to experience symptoms of AD into adulthood.It's characterised as a chronic (long-lasting) condition with no known cure, which means people diagnosed with AD tend to experience flare-ups that come and go throughout their lives.

On a tangible front, living with AD often includes sleepless nights dealing with extremely itchy, flaky skin that disrupts the lives of many, in more ways than one

For people who actively suffer from AD, even the slightest movements, like simply getting out of bed, can cause skin to flake off or crack and bleed.It's a reality that's unthinkable for many, even before taking into account the seemingly never-ending cycle of itch-scratch that results in raw, bloody skin. Sounds painful enough, doesn't it? :(

However, adding to the damage is the hidden mental toll that this chronic inflammatory condition takes on people with AD

Imagine having to steer clear of activities like swimming, hiking, or joining your friends for PE in school because your skin gets sensitive to sweat — and temperature changes — in the environment.Or worse, you get teased for how your skin appears, and feel isolated from the rest of your peers, despite the fact that AD is not contagious, nor is there an exact known cause for the condition.

In short, AD not only affects physical health but also mental health, which is why the Dermatological Society of Malaysia has teamed up with local comic artist, Erica Eng, to help debunk myths surrounding the condition

Erica, who developed the webcomic series, also has first-hand experience with AD.
Image via Erica Eng / Fried Rice Comic

In conjunction with World Atopic Dermatitis Day (also known as World Atopic Eczema Day) on 14 September, the award-winning comic artist, who suffers from AD herself, developed a webcomic series for the #UncoverLife – Atopic Dermatitis, More Than Skin Deep campaign.Catch Erica's experience with AD below:

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Erica Eng (@paprikapeprica)

According to the president of the Dermatological Society of Malaysia, Dato' Dr Noor Zalmy Azizan, there is a need for awareness since misconceptions about AD can get in the way of people seeking medical advice and treatment

"By presenting the condition in a visual and easy-to-understand medium, we hope more patients will seek proper diagnosis and care so they can experience better quality of life and support from others. This is why our campaign name is also a call to action, for patients with atopic dermatitis to #UncoverLife," said Dato' Dr Noor Zalmy.

The campaign, also in collaboration with the Malaysia Eczema Society, follows a report based on a series of roundtable discussions involving healthcare professionals and patients from November 2019 to April 2021

Consultant paediatric dermatologist and advisor to the patient support group at Malaysia Eczema Society, Dr Leong Kin Fon.
Image via Leong Kin Fon (Facebook)

It revealed that low awareness and persistent misconceptions contribute to delayed diagnosis and poor management of AD in Malaysia.While well-meaning, it's hard to distinguish practical advice from ones based on myths perpetuated online, where AD is usually labelled as a simple skin condition that can be easily cured with home remedies.Plus, consultant paediatric dermatologist and advisor to the patient support group at Malaysia Eczema Society, Dr Leong Kin Fon, also explained that other misconceptions — like the misguided belief that AD is contagious or caused by poor hygiene — not only cause people with AD to be treated like outcasts, but also take a heavy toll on their mental health."This is why patients need more understanding and support, which should come from a consolidated source such as a national patient support group that consists of fellow patients, with advice from a relevant medical body such as the Dermatological Society of Malaysia," said Dr Leong.

In one of the comics, Erica illustrates the experience lived by fellow AD-afflicted person, Iris

Iris has been struggling with AD since she was a child.
Image via Iris via the Dermatological Society of Malaysia (Provided to SAYS)

Iris was only properly diagnosed with AD as an adult. However, she long began noticing that people would look at her differently due to the scaly skin on her legs, and was often teased by the other children at school who said she looked like a snake.

After a particularly bad flare-up in her early 20s, and multiple unsuccessful treatments that ranged from steroids to traditional remedies, Iris knew she had to put an end to the nightmare that she was living

After a severe flare-up, Iris decided to prioritise herself and asserts that talking to friends and family for emotional support is important for mental health.
Image via Iris via the Dermatological Society of Malaysia (Provided to SAYS)

So, she left her job and took time off to prioritise her mental health and learn more about self-care

Image via Erica Eng / #UncoverLife (Provided to SAYS)

Eventually, Iris met with a dermatologist and finally felt the heavy burden of her symptoms slide off her shoulders

Image via Erica Eng / #UncoverLife (Provided to SAYS)

In the comic, Erica also shines a spotlight on the journeys of Shomendra and Elaine, to further prove that patients can #UncoverLife, especially with proper treatment and a strong support system

Image via Erica Eng / #UncoverLife (Provided to SAYS)

Sharing powerful messages from people living with AD, consultant dermatologist and EXCO member of the Dermatological Society of Malaysia, Dr Peter Ch'ng, said that the webcomic empowers other individuals with AD to seek help and support to manage their condition

Consultant dermatologist and EXCO member of the Dermatological Society of Malaysia, Dr Peter Ch'ng.

According to Dr Ch'ng, "As atopic dermatitis is a complex condition that affects each patient differently, patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis may benefit from additional forms of therapy, such as biologics, that are prescribed by specialists."He added, "This underscores the importance of diagnosis and treatment, without which patients may not experience significant improvement in the severity of their symptoms."

As the campaign aims to rally patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to break free from the condition, Erica hopes that her comics will give a better understanding of how patients feel and the challenges they face with AD

As the 22-year-old comic creator puts it, "My experience allowed me to empathise with the patients whose stories are told in the webcomics, and it is my honour to be able to help spread awareness about atopic dermatitis while sharing their insights about living with the disease and how it impacts them."

He had been using WeChat to lure underage girls

He reportedly would pose as a woman on the chat platform, WeChat, to approach the girls, all of whom were said to be underage according to NST Online's report.The suspect would then convince the unsuspecting girls to send pictures of their breasts so he could "assess" the treatment needed, Central Seberang Perai district police chief Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid said, describing the man as "smooth-talker.""Once he received the pictures, he would then threaten to post them online and reveal their identities. He would then blackmail his victims into meeting him at a shopping mall in Prai. "Upon meeting, he would bring his victim to a vacant shop lot on the mall’s fourth floor where he would molest and rape them," Nik Ros Azhan added.

His modus operandi first came to light when a 13-year-old girl lodged a report in December 2017 after she was raped

However, while only one girl has lodged a police report against the suspect, he has reportedly confessed to raping three girls, according to Nik Ros Azhan.


PSA: You Can Get Dermatological Treatment For Only RM5 At Government Clinics

Living with acne-prone skin can be a nightmare

Not only is it uncomfortable, it can also seriously affect your self-esteem and confidence.Sometimes buying the best skincare products to treat it is not enough and requires you to seek medical treatment, which can burn a hole in your wallet.

Ni 3 ubat yang doktor bagi. Ubat + consultation dalam Rm400. Cleanser Rm100+ , Differin Adapalene Rm50+ , Topicil Rm35 tak silap. Untuk 3 bulan tu memang pakai ni Sahaja. pic.twitter.com/TiRiQhmMC2— Syameel (@sy4meel) June 23, 2019

Fortunately, it seems that there is an alternative solution.
A Twitter user recently shared her experience of getting dermatological treatment at a government clinic for only RM5.

Twitter user @Naahatta tweeted on 25 June that she has only been spending RM5 on dermatological consultation fees and the medication is free."I have acne vulgaris, which is long term skin disease, because my acne is all over my body, especially my face," she revealed to SAYS.She shared before and after photos of her amazing results after the treatment:

"So I went to Klinik Kesihatan Slibin in Perak... I consulted with that doctor for almost seven months, but there was no improvement on my skin. Then the doctor decided to give me a referral letter for a dermatologist in Hospital Permaisuri Bainun," she shared.

According to her, here is how you can get treated for acne or any skin-related problems:

			1. Visit a government clinic near you.2. Tell the clerk that you would like to see the doctor for acne treatment. 3. Explain to the doctor what kind of skin problems you face and discuss what treatment plan you need. Then follow the treatment plan and medication religiously.4. If your acne problem persists after six months, visit the doctor again. They may then write you a referral letter to see a specialist at a government hospital.Take note that you will need the referral letter from the clinic in order to see the specialist.

She also added that it it best to not tell the doctor that your acne is caused by an allergy if you are unsure of its cause."Give the doctor as much information as you can and let them decide the cause of your acne," she wrote.

In response to her Twitter thread, another woman shared her personal experience of getting acne treatment from a government clinic

Dulu pgi klinik kesihatan wpun jerawat tak teruk sgt. Dr. bagi antibiotik je. Jumpa kali ke-2 dia tanya ada perubahan ke tak. Sy cakap takde. So dia terus bagi surat utk refer pakar kat hospital. Bawa surat tu ke hospital and terus set appointment— Nurrnurr Shaashaa (@NFWheee) June 25, 2019

Meanwhile, one netizen revealed that you can also visit a private clinic to get a referral letter – but the consultation fees will cost more

"From my experience, you have two options. Either private or government clinic," she wrote."If you go to private clinic for a referral letter to the government hospital, you'll need to pay RM30 for consultation. But if you get a referral letter from a government clinic, you'll only need to pay RM5," the person wrote, according to The Rakyat Post.

It's Official: Shisha Is Now 'Haram' in Malaysia. What Do You Have to Say?

Kelantan wants to ban shisha too

He said once gazetted, the fatwa could be adopted by local authorities, such as the Kota Baru Municipal Council, as a reference before they enact their own by-laws.

        malaysia-today.net

State mufti, Datuk Mohamad Shukri Mohamed: "Firstly, I will meet the state's Fatwa Committee members after Hari Raya. Once they have agreed, we will submit the document to Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Muhammad V to get his consent to enable the fatwa to be gazetted"

        malaysiandigest.com

Kelantan is set to issue a fatwa to ban shisha smoking to be in line with a  edict on the matter made by the National Fatwa Council.

Muzakarah khas Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan bagi Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Malaysia hari ini memutuskan bahawa shisha adalah haram.

Muzakarah khas Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Islam putuskan shisha adalah haram bagi umat Islam.

        relevansokmo.com

Shisha or water-pipe smoking is haram for Muslims, the Fatwa Committee of the National Council for Islamic Affairs declared today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

As such, Muslims are prohibited from selling, smoking or taking part in any activities involving shisha.

        ntv7.com.my

"After listening to the experts from the Health Ministry and scrutinising medical and scientific evidence from the country and abroad on the ill-effects of shisha, the committee decided to prohibit shisha (for Muslims)," he said in a statement.

        nst.com.my

Committee chairman Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Abdul Shukor says shisha is a despicable thing that all Muslims should avoid

The committee found that all scientific findings by way of comprehensive studies in the country and internationally proved that shisha had a most detrimental effect and its widespread use, particularly among youths and women, was most worrying.

        thestar.com.my

Abdul Shukor explained that shisha would have a huge detrimental effect in terms of the health of the individual, national economic growth and shaping of the future generations.

        thesundaily.my

"Shisha is clearly harmful to health. It is a wasteful activity that is categorised as a bad or despicable thing that all Muslims should avoid," said Abdul Shukor.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Shisha, atau juga dikenali sebagai Hookah ataupun Hubble Bubble ialah sejenis bahan yang disedut dalam pelbagai perisa dan bila dihempus, keluar asap dari mulut. Ia berasal dari tanah arab, kemudian popularitinya merebak ke Eropah, Britain dan kini orang Malaysia pun dah pandai hisap shisha.

1 July: Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam says they are considering to ban shisha

The government is looking at banning e-cigarettes and shisha. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said an official announcement on the ban on e-cigarettes could be made soon.

        malaysiandigest.com

As for shisha, he said the ministry was studying its sale from the legal point of view before deciding whether or not ban it. Subramaniam said the ministry is looking into the long-term effect of this form of smoking before making a ruling.

        malaysiandigest.com

"So, we need to find a workable legal framework to ban shisha smoking as the ministry only has the power to act on the sale of nicotine under the Pharmaceutical Act but not the canisters," he added.

        nst.com.my

Dr Subramaniam said while the ministry could take action against the use of flavoured tobacco in shisha, the tricky part was to take legal action against the sale of its instruments as it is not illegal to own it if it is not mixed with tobacco.

        nst.com.my

He said unlike the shisha traditionally used in Afghanistan and Pakistan where spices are used, users in this country were mixing it with flavoured tobacco and some might even be mixing it with drugs.

        nst.com.my

"In other countries, shisha is mixed with spices. However, the substances used locally are tobacco and sometimes drugs. This is where the problem arises," he said.

        thesundaily.my

Perlis, Melaka and Kelantan has already declared the smoking of shisha haram

Image via dataotuan.com

The Perlis Fatwa Committee has banned the smoking and sale of shisha as smoking the shisha is more harmful than smoking cigarettes.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The ban may gather momentum as Perlis’ move to declare it haram (forbidden in Islam) has also received the support of Johor Islamic Religious Council adviser Datuk Noh Gadut, who called for a nationwide ban.

        nst.com.my

The Mufti of Perlis, Datuk Mursyid Diraja Dr Juanda Jaya said the practice of smoking the shisha was not only a waste of time for the youths but also hazardous to health.

        thesundaily.my

Malacca and Kelantan were the first to ban the sale of shisha in 2011.

Saudi Foreign Minister Says Funds Given To PM Najib Was Investment And Not Donation

It seems PM Najib Razak has dug a rather hopeless hole for himself, one whose depth is only growing deeper with each passing day

Najib Razak prayed last week before meeting with reporters in Putrajaya.

After Malaysia's Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali, while speaking to a packed press conference on 26 January, ostentatiously claimed that the RM2.6 billion found in PM Najib's personal bank accounts was a personal "donation from the Saudi royal family" and "was given to him without any due consideration", the Saudi Foreign Minister has just called that story — to put it mildly — a big bunch of lie.

In a report published by the New York Times on 5 February, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir was quoted as saying that while "he accepted the AG's opinion that there had been no wrongdoing, but he also said that he did not think that the money had come from the Saudi government or that it was a political donation." Instead, the minister said the money was from an unspecified "investment".

"It is (from) a private Saudi citizen, I believe, and the funds went to an investment in Malaysia," Al-Jubeir was quoted as saying in a report by The New York Times.

Furthermore, the NYT also quoted one member of the royal family and one associate of the family, speaking on the condition of anonymity, who confirmed that the money was not a donation

One member of the royal family and one associate of the family, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the money had come from a Saudi prince and confirmed that it was not a donation. The associate questioned the reported sum but said the funds were part of a business deal.

        nytimes.com

The RM2.6 billion funds in PM Najib's personal bank accounts was first revealed in a Wall Street Journal report July 2015, citing leaked investigation papers, and was followed up by Sarawak Report.
Since then, Najib and his administration have displayed an astounding level of inconsistency in their response to questions relating to the money, which is aptly highlighted in this FB post:

I regret it," said the anonymous student.

They attached a photo of their order receipt in the confession post, which saw them paying at least RM19 for toppings

It is believed that the student ordered a venti-sized Belgium Chocolate Frappuccino, a new item that costs RM21.50.The toppings they unknowingly added are believed to be caramel drizzle, cookie crumbs, and vanilla cream, among others.The student was also charged RM1 for a reusable straw. After 6% service tax, they had to fork out RM44.10 for the drink at the Starbucks outlet in Berjaya Times Square, KL.

At the time of writing, the post has garnered over 5,300 likes and 1,800 shares

Even though it is uncertain which party was to blame for the blunder, many netizens left hilarious comments to tease the student for their poor command of English."Told you to study, but you didn't," wrote a Facebook user, believed to be teasing the student's English proficiency."Drink less Starbucks and take the money to study English," read a comment. Another netizen said in jest that the Frappuccino is Starbucks' version of ais kacang.

Netflix Is Charging RM13 Extra For People Who Share Accounts From Different Households

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

Netflix users in Malaysia will now need to pay an additional RM13, on top of the usual subscription fee, if they share passwords with those living in different houses

Users who share a Netflix account from the same household will not be charged any additional fees.However, according to New Straits Times, Netflix stated that if subscribers want to share their password with members who are not in the same household, they will need to pay an additional RM13 per person, per month.

Each extra member will get their own profile, but will be limited to watch Netflix from a single device at a time.

Users who share passwords with different households will receive an email from Netflix starting today, 24 May

Payment for each additional slot will be on the original account subscriber. "A Netflix account is for use by one household," the company stated, as reported by New Straits Times."Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are – at home, on the go, on holiday – and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile, Manage Access, and Devices," they added.This feature, which was announced last year, was implemented to expand the company's password-sharing crackdown. It was initially rolled out in selected countries, such as Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

The policy has since been expanded to more than 100 countries, including Malaysia

Netflix stated earlier this year that over 100 million households share passwords, according to AFP.This has impacted the company's "ability to invest in great new TV and films", Netflix stated in a newsletter.

Netflix users had mixed reactions to the new update when it was announced last year:

                You May Soon Have To Pay More If You Use Your Netflix Account Outside Your Home

Uh-oh! No more sharing passwords with uncle, aunty, boyfriend, and girlfriend. :(

Lone Gunman Walks Into Funeral Ceremony And Starts Shooting

An unidentified gunman disrupted a funeral ceremony and started shooting at the deceased's family and friends in Tasek Gelugor on Monday, 22 September 2014

A gunman walked into a house in Kampung Selamat here Monday night where funeral prayers were being held and shot to death a man and injured another, police said.

        bernama.com

The gunman shot dead 34-year-old farmer Lee Wooi Shong, with two gunshots to the head

Seberang Perai Utara Police chief ACP Abdul Rahman Ibrahim said the dead man had been identified as Lee Wooi Shong, 34, who went by the nickname of 'Kastam'. He said Lee was shot in the back of the head and body in the incident which occurred at 10.45 pm, and he died at the Kepala Batas Hospital at 2.20 am Tuesday.

        bernama.com

Abdul Rahman said police files showed that Lee had two criminal records related to gambling.

        bernama.com

Another victim, 38-year-old Ng Chiau Lin, was shot in the hand but survived the attack

The other man, aged 38, was shot in both hands, he added.

During the incident at 10.45pm, the gunman parked his car outside the house and walked in to fire at the two victims

Abdul Rahman said the gunman parked his car outside the house and walked in to fire the shots at Lee and the other man.

        abnxcess.com

Ng said they were sitting at a table outside the house when he heard a loud bang behind him, "I thought it was a firecracker until I felt my hand go numb and saw blood oozing from the wound."

The friends were sitting at a table outside the house when Ng heard a loud bang behind him at about 10.45pm on Monday.

        thestar.com.my

“I thought it was a firecracker until I felt my hand go numb and saw blood oozing from the wound.
“There were two more bangs and everyone ran. I rushed to the back of the house to hide and used a piece of cloth to bandage my wounded hand,” he said at the private hospital where he is being treated.

        thestar.com.my

People gathered in the house pursued the gunman but failed to catch him

Abdul Rahman said some of those gathered in the house pursued the gunman but failed to catch him.

        abnxcess.com

Prior to the shooting, Ng heard the victim, Lee, quarrelling with someone

A quarrel could have been the reason why a lone gunman opened fire at several people attending a wake in Kampung Selamat, Tasek Gelugor.

        thestar.com.my

Ng does not think he was the target of the gunman because he has no enemies but said he heard that Lee had quarrelled with someone some time before the shooting.

        thestar.com.my

Police believe the suspect might have known the victims. They recovered three bullet shells from the scene.

“We believe that the attacker might have known the victims, but the police are still conducting initial investigations to find the motive of the attack and to identify the assailant,” he said.

        abnxcess.com

Police are investigating the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder and are urging anyone with information to contact them

Police have also classified the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder and are urging witnesses to the crime to assist police in the investigation.
