This Social Enterprise Offers Therapy & Supports B40 Groups With Mental Health Services

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

Meet Ellisha Othman, a clinical psychologist who established Thrive Well during the first year of the pandemic with a goal of helping everyone improve their mental health

Image via Thrive Well (Provided to SAYS)

By everyone, Ellisha means everyone, especially the B40 community

Founded in October 2020, Thrive Well has over 50 team members comprising of a diverse group of mental health practitioners and social development professionals. It has directly serviced over 1,500 individuals in the 23 months, which extends to impacting 6,000 individuals through its services and programmes.

Image via Thrive Well

The less-than-two-year-old social enterprise has over five initiatives, each targeting different clients with different needs:

1. Clinical Services– Location: Wisma BU8– For individuals who can afford regular-priced therapy– Mental health screening and psychological assessments– Services include group psychotherapy, family and couple therapy, and career assessment & counselling2. Jom Sembang Programme– Location: Anywhere, the team will come to the clients– For the B40 community, at-risk groups or vulnerable family members, or individuals facing domestic violence– Services are offered at subsidised rates between RM10 and RM50– Funded by corporations, generous donors, and campaign drives3. Thriving Professionals Programme– Location: At clients' workplaces– For employees and employers, paid by the latter– It is an employee assistance programme designed to increase the performance of employees and subsequently build resilience within the organisation– Services from this programme normally deal with non-severe cases– Services include individual consultation, management consultation, workplace wellbeing assessment, organisation's mental health strategy, review & consultation, and webinars/workshops4. BRAVE Programme– Location: at clients' workplaces– For employees and employers, paid by the latter– The Building Resilience, Acceptance, Valiance, and Empowerment (BRAVE) programme is designed to provide frontline professionals from various industries with mental health services through the Trauma-Informed Care approach– For example, some departments in a company are more stressful and more prone to trauma than others. This includes customer service employees who are at risk of facing verbal abuse from customers, as well as, teachers who have to handle the COVID-19 crisis and students' mental health conditions.– The programme is designed to build their capacity to handle their work5. K.A.M.I. (Community Development)– Location: Focus on B40 groups in low-income housing (Projek Perumahan Rakyat - PPR) areas in Klang Valley– This programme is for the community, where the stigma of receiving mental health services is high– The Thrive Well team goes to the PPR areas instead of having the clients come to them, as some families do not have the accessibility or time to bring a family member for treatment– To date, the team has discovered that the community has high levels of depression and anxiety, strained family relationships, low self-esteem, difficulty communicating and managing certain emotions, and more– There are six initiatives under this programme, each designed for different age groups and family members– Aims to tackle include mental health conditions that are triggered by socio-economical problems faced by B40 families, especially mothers. Examples include family conflict, inadequate access to social and healthcare services (caregiving and childcare), financial difficulties during the pandemic, and education challenges during the pandemic.– As of August, the programme has served over 1,000 individuals

With an impressive track record and programmes to support different communities in Malaysia, SAYS spoke with Ellisha to understand the inner workings of the organisation

Ellisha started her career in the finance and accounting fields and worked for a government-linked company."I worked in the corporate world for five years and then I took some time off. I resigned and studied for three years to train as a clinical psychologist," she related.She said she witnessed the daunting effects of the 1997 financial crisis, when millions of families experienced physical and mental health conditions."Personally, it definitely affected me. I was struggling academically and my father was facing cancer at that time. I then moved to Australia to study for my undergrad," she added, saying her journey made her realise the path she wanted to take.Ellisha said that receiving counselling while studying in Australia helped her understand the importance of mental health treatment, admitting that even she initially struggled with the stigma of seeking help as well.

Ellisha graduated with a Master's Degree in clinical psychology and began working with SOLS 24/7, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that supports the B40 community

The NGO serves, educates, and empowers the bottom 40% of the population with free education, personal development, and employment support.She started in 2013, and by 2015, with funding and support from the NGO, they established SOLS Health, giving her the first experience of providing mental health services and programmes to underprivileged communities.The adversity brought about by the pandemic created a surge in demand for mental health services, which created the opportunity for Ellisha to incorporate a new social enterprise, Thrive Well. The social enterprise's main mission is to make an impact in the mental health industry by developing and delivering mental health services using the trauma-informed care approach.

Image via Thrive Well

Throughout the years, Ellisha has worked with many at-risk individuals. One client that struck her the most was a 16-year-old boy whose physique looked like a 12-year-old.

"We discovered he had a high Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) score due to physical abuse, poverty, and a history of mental illness in the family. High ACE scores have been proven to stunt a child's overall development. This was the pivotal moment in our journey to focus on Trauma-Informed Care practices," chronicled in Thrive Well's 2021 report.Ellisha described the way Kumar (alias) narrated his family's experience with hardcore poverty and substance abuse as "so nonchalant," as if "he didn't realise what he went through was not normal."From the case of Kumar, she learned that giving therapy was not enough to help at-risk individuals. "The crucial determinant of mental health is very important. We can give therapy, but we also need to make sure the person's environment — in terms of social health and education — gets support," she related.She added that it is important to provide a healthy relationship with adults, especially with children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), to buffer them from the harmful consequences of these adversities.Ellisha said if the adult could not be their parents, it could be their teacher."So, for this young man, education was [a challenge]. So, he enrolled in informal education at SOLS 24/7. They provided education and he was able to catch up on his learning. And with therapy, he was able to process his trauma," she shared.Kumar's story has made therapy and Trauma-Informed Care practices come hand-in-hand in all of Ellisha and Thrive Well's work. The dual approach focuses on understanding the impact on trauma in the clients' lives and providing a wrap-around mental health service by working closely with partner organisations to facilitate the opportunity for the beneficiaries to be resilient and make positive life-changing decisions.

Sharing with SAYS, Ellisha said the best way to support Thrive Well is to use its paid services, as funds collected from the social enterprise will be channelled to its free or subsidised community services

Ellisha encourages more corporations to take up its Thriving Professionals Programme and BRAVE Programme, contending that building societal resilience can be done by first "helping ourselves, (before) we help someone we know, and then we help someone we don't know"."(Help) yourself and someone you know, before paying forward to someone else who needs the services. With this three-fold method, we can build a resilient system," she said.

Image via Thrive Well

With the impending recession that could affect everyone globally, Ellisha said it is high time that everyone learns how to build resilience.She shared some pearls of wisdom, noting, "The recession is coming, it will affect everyone globally at varying degrees. I think what's important is to build resiliency skills, which is the ability to bounce back and adapt to a new situation."We cannot stop the recession, but how do we learn those resiliency skills? This is where mental health comes in."Organisations may sometimes feel it is hard to justify (our programmes) as an investment, but I think it is important that we invest in our people's wellness."

"Saya Lebih Suka Orang Yang Setia" Dan 7 Lagi Kenyataan Najib Yang...

1. Pertama sekali, Najib bersyukur rombakan Kabinet diterima baik anggota parti dan rakyat.

Image via www.themalaysianinsider.com

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak melahirkan rasa syukur kerana anggota UMNO dan Barisan Nasional (BN) serta rakyat menerima baik rombakan kabinet yang dilakukannya pada 28 Julai lalu.Beliau berkata dengan rombakan itu, parti dan kerajaan kini boleh memberi tumpuan sepenuhnya kepada matlamat untuk membangunkan dan memacu Malaysia ke arah negara maju dalam tempoh lima tahun."Saya juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada (Tan Sri) Muhyiddin (Yassin), (Datuk Seri Mohd) Shafie (Apdal), (Datuk Seri) Hassan (Malek) dan semua yang tidak lagi berada dalam pentadbiran kerajaan.""Tetapi masing-masing melahirkan komitmen dan luahkan pendirian bahawa mereka tetap setia kepada UMNO. Dengan selesainya proses itu (rombakan), maka kita boleh bergerak ke hadapan.""Saya tidak mahu kita hilang arah dan fokus. Kita mesti kembali kepada mengapa, kenapa dan apa dia objektif serta matlamat yang hendak diperjuangkan sebagai anggota parti dan kerajaan," katanya semasa berucap pada majlis sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri Parlimen Pekan di Taman Tasik Sultan Abu Bakar pada Ahad.

2. "Ada orang kata saya mahu 'yes men' (pak turut). Tidak, saya tidak mahu 'yes men'. Tetapi saya juga tidak mahu 'no men'."

Image via www.kualalumpurpost.net

Najib meminta ahli UMNO mencontohi penyokong pembangkang yang menyokong pemimpin mereka tanpa mengira keadaan, sambil menegaskan beliau tidak mahu dikelilingi "pak turut"."Ada orang kata saya mahu 'yes men' (pak turut). Tidak, saya tidak mahu 'yes men'. Tetapi saya juga tidak mahu 'no men'. ""Kalau anda hendak katakan 'tidak' kepada saya, lakukannya secara tertutup," kata Najib pada mesyuarat agung tahunan UMNO bahagian Hulu Selangor pada Ahad."Begitu banyak tuduhan terhadap orang itu, tetapi penyokong masih mempertahankannya, tidak kira apa. Kenapa?""Kerana mereka tahu kita perlu menyokong pemimpin kita supaya parti boleh menang dalam pilihan raya," katanya jelas merujuk kepada Ketua Umum PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai individu yang dimaksudkan.

        themalaysianinsider.com

3. "Siapa kata pilihan raya esok? Ada banyak masa lagi."

Kenyataan Najib ini dilihat seperti menjawab dakwaan timbalan presiden UMNO Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin minggu lepas yang BN akan tewas dalam pilihan raya umum jika ia diadakan sekarang."Ada orang kata kita akan kalah jika pilihan raya diadakan hari ini. Siapa kata pilihan raya hari ini? Bukan hari ini, bukan esok. Kita ada cukup banyak masa untuk itu, untuk mendapatkan keyakinan orang ramai," kata Najib pada mesyuarat agung tahunan UMNO bahagian Hulu Selangor di Kuala Kubu Bharu pada Ahad.Beliau bagaimanapun memberi amaran, UMNO perlu menukar kaedahnya jika ia mahu berjaya dalam pilihan raya yang akan datang, mengatakan ia sering kali tidak memberi tumpuan kepada rakyat "di luar dewan.""Kita selalu fikir, kita bawa rakyat ke dalam dewan, dan mereka semua sokong kita. Kita lupa kepada orang di luar dewan. Kita perlu melihat kepada program kita untuk turut mendekati mereka yang di luar dewan. Saya selalu cakap, hasil itu penting, bukan sahaja usaha yang dicurahkan," katanya. Najib berkata, beliau sendiri turut berasa "tertipu" apabila kira-kira 30,000 orang hadir pada satu programnya di Selangor pada pilihan raya umum yang lalu. "Saya fikir, oh, tengoklah betapa ramai yang keluar, orang-orang ini akan mengundi kita. Tetapi, mereka tidak mengundi kita," katanya lagi.

"Soal 1MDB bukan segala-galanya macam dunia nak kiamat, macam apa namanya, siling nak runtuh. Inilah bukanlah isu yang paling penting, sebagai ahli parti, saya nak kita fokus kepada tugas utama kita, fokus kita apa, fokus kita jaga hati rakyat, buat apa yg dikehendaki rakyat. InshaAllah UMNO dan Barisan Nasional (BN) boleh menang.""Sebagai presiden parti tentu sekali saya nak parti menang, parti kuat, ada kekuatan sepanjang masa. Ini amanah. Setiap orang akan dipertanggungjawabkan kepimpinannya dalam Islam. Ketua itu lagi berat tanggungjawabnya dipersoalkan nanti." "Saya tahu, 38 tahun dalam politik, sejak tahun 1976, nak sampai jawatan ini bukan senang. Onak ranjaunya. Saya tahu beratnya. Politik ini bukan macam graf yang naik semacam. Macam hidup kita juga, ada masa senang, ada masa susah. Dalam hidup macam itu. Dalam perkahwinan macam itu.""Tapi janganlah masa senang kita sokong, nampak susah sikit nak tebuk pula kapal. Tak boleh. Ini namanya setiakawan dalam politik. Jangan 'bro-bro' waktu senang, waktu susah tak nampak muka, nak tikam lagi adalah," ujar Najib.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak kecewa dengan persepsi fitnah orang ramai terhadap 1Malaysia Development Berhad, (1MDB) sehingga menyebabkan syarikat itu dianggap buruk.Sedangkan, Perdana Menteri berkata, 1MDB mempunyai jasa yang banyak terhadap rakyat."Tetapi oleh kerana persepsi, fitnah memenangi fikiran rakyat maka satu kebaikan yang dibuat boleh menjadi sebaliknya semata-mata pembelian itu mempunyai kaitan 1MDB," katanya yang menjadikan pembelian sekeping tanah oleh Lembaga Tabung Haji daripada 1MDB di Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) sebagai contoh."Jasa 1MDB banyak. Pelbagai bantuan diberi. Namun kerana persepsi, semua tentang 1MDB dianggap buruk," kata Najib ketika memberi ucapan di Majlis Penyerahan Surat Tawaran Haji kepada para imam dan Pengerusi JKKK dan JKKP seluruh negara di Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin di Putrajaya pada Jumaat, 31 Julai 2015.

Najib berkata sifat kesetiaan adalah sifat yang lebih sukar dicari dalam seseorang daripada kebijaksanaan, sambil menambah beliau lebih menghargai kesetiaan berbanding kebijaksanaan..Najib juga berkata kesetiaan itu lebih penting daripada "orang pintar" demi menjaga semangat bersatu padu parti dan kepimpinan beliau."Saya akan menilai orang berdasarkan kesetiaan mereka. Terdapat ramai orang pintar di sekeliling kita tetapi untuk mencari orang-orang yang setia adalah sangat sukar. Tetapi saya tidak maksudkan kesetiaan secara membuta tuli. Kita perlu bekerja bersama-sama untuk menjadikan parti kita kuat.""Tak salah kalau kita tidak sependapat, asalkan kita tidak membaling kerusi di antara satu sama lain. Kita juga boleh suarakan rasa tidak puas hati, tetapi bukan lakukannya di luar. Ini akan meruntuhkan imej parti," kata Najib.

"Saya dipilih melalui proses demokrasi pemilihan. Bukan saya angkuh, tapi saya diamanahkan oleh parti untuk meneruskan kepimpinan. Jangan ganggu saya, saya nak buat yang terbaik, saya buat ekonomi modal, ekonomi rakyat.""Ada orang kata saya tidak bijak kerana buang kuota bertanding jawatan presiden parti," kata najib mengulas perubahan dalam sistem pemilihan UMNO yang memberikan ruang demokrasi kepada ahli untuk memilih presiden.Perlembagaan UMNO sebelum ini menghendaki mereka yang ingin bertanding jawatan presiden UMNO menerima pencalonan daripada 63 UMNO Bahagian. "Ingat senang nak dapat? Susah. Kalau saya kekalkan Perlembagaan lama, saya boleh jadi presiden parti selama 23 tahun. Boleh.. Sebab, siapa nak lawan? Tapi saya nak parti kita jadi lebih terbuka. Saya biarkan 160,000 ahli UMNO memilih.""Zaman susah pun, InsyaAllah tak lama kalau kita ada setiakawan. Ada cahaya di hujung terowong. Kalau kita berjaya melalui zaman kesusahan, InsyaAllah kita akan lebih kuat. Tak mengapa saya berat sikit, banyak ujian.""Kebetulan hari ini saya presiden. Bukan kerana saya Najib. Presiden kena kuat, kuat bukan kerana dia Najib, tapi kerana dia presiden. Selagi saya pegang jawatan presiden, saya perlukan kekuatan untuk teruskan parti kita menang," kata Najib bersemangat.

M'sian City Life #18: My Mother's Day Could've Ended Differently If Not For This Man

"Oi, what happened?! Why can't (you) start (your car)?"
Those were the first few words a man uttered to a family who was stranded on the road, on a wet and cold night in Klang Valley.

Nisha Ann Arumugam together with her husband and their two children were on their way back to Klang after celebrating Mother's Day on 8 May. As they were approaching a Petron petrol station at Sunway, their car suddenly broke down and they weren't able to start it.  Two Indian men who were filling up their tanks nearby, came to push their car aside and tried to jump start the car. For about 20 minutes, they did everything they can to get the car running but nothing worked. It was then, that Nisha heard a middle-aged Chinese man who shouted at them, asking why they couldn't start their car.

Having their car break down after such a pleasant evening with her family was unfortunate, but what made Nisha even more agitated was this stranger who was shouting at them

"I was really upset since he was too loud and rude," the 36-year-old said. She ignored him. However, the man was persistent. "I didn't answer at first but he shouted again and forced me to answer, 'I don't know!'," Nisha recalled.

The man went to fill up his car with petrol. Nisha was about to call the car towing service, when the man came over and parked his car right beside theirs.

"The man started to jump start our car while his wife was waiting patiently inside his car," Nisha said.  After about 10 minutes, their attempts to revive the car seemed to be successful as they managed to get the engine going.  Thankful for the help, Nisha and her family quickly extended their deepest gratitude to the man for assisting them at that odd hour. "I just smiled in embarrassment for doubting him."

Just as they were departing from the place, the car's engine suddenly died again

The man, who was on his way back, saw what happened and quickly made a U-turn. He came to Nisha's family for the second time, offering his assistance once again.  Meanwhile, Nisha was clouded with worries as she saw how the rain continued pouring and thought about the possibilities of the car breaking down in the middle of the highway. She was relieved for a moment, as the man managed to get the car up and running again.  However, this time, the man requested the permission to follow Nisha and her family back by driving his car behind them. "He was staying somewhere around Sunway, yet he followed us up to Jalan Kebun in Klang, just to make sure that we are safe!"

"I've learned not to judge people by their first look."

Nisha (left) and her husband.

Thinking about the incident that day, Nisha is extremely grateful for the help that was extended to her by the strangers she met.  "To the two anne (elder brother in Tamil), thank you."  "WMH 3850. A blue Proton Iswara sedan. To Chinese gentleman, whoever you are, thanks a million!"  Nisha believes that the rain that night, that came at a time when Malaysia is enveloped in heat, was rather symbolic.  "It was raining because people like them still exist."

Macam Mana Gastrik Boleh 'Serang' Dan Apa Yang Berlaku Di Dalam Perut Sampai Sakit?

Gastrik adalah sejenis keadaan kesihatan di mana berlaku keradangan pada dinding perut

Istilah yang lebih tepat bagi keadaan ini adalah gastritis.Gastrik itu sendiri secara bahasanya membawa maksud perut. Namun, ia digunakan secara meluas dalam masyarakat Malaysia untuk merujuk kepada gastritis.Apakah simptom penyakit ini?Rasa panas atau sakit pada bahagian atas abdomenMualMuntahPerut kembung selepas makanSimptom terkait dengan pengambilan makanan – sama ada bertambah teruk sebelum atau selepas makan

Image via hmetro.com.my

Ia boleh berlaku secara mengejut (akut) atau secara beransur-ansur dalam tempoh yang lama (kronik). Meskipun terdapat simptom yang disenarikan di atas, tidak semua penghidap gastrik mengalami simptom tersebut.

Apakah yang menyebabkan keradangan pada perut?

Dinding perut dilindungi oleh lapisan mukosa. Lapisan ini membuatkan ia terlindung daripada hakisan asid di dalamnya yang berfungsi menghadam makanan. Apabila lapisan ini terganggu, perut boleh mengalami keradangan.Beberapa keadaann yang boleh meningkatkan risiko gastrik adalah:1. Jangkitan bakteria: Sejenis bakteria bernama Helicobacter pylori adalah penyebab utama bagi keadaan kesihatan ini. Bakteria ini wujud di dalam perut ramai orang tapi hanya sesetengah orang sahaja yang mengalami keradangan.2. Penggunaan ubat tahan sakit secara berkala: Ubat-ubatan seperti aspirin, ibuprofen dan naproxen berpotensi menyebabkan gastrik akut atau kronik jika diambil secara berkala atau berlebihan. Ia menyebabkan gastrik dengan menjejaskan faktor utama yang melindungi lapisan dinding perut.

Image via ediagnosa.com

3. Umur meningkat: Semakin berumur, lapisan dinding perut menjadi semakin nipis. Ini meningkatkan risiko keradangan.4. Alkohol: Minuman ini merengsa dan mengikis lapisan perut menyebabkan ia lebih terdedah kepada asid.5. Stres: Stres disebabkan pembedahan major, kebakaran atau kecederaan yang teruk merangsang penghasilan asid yang tinggi di dalam perut.6. Autoimun: Gastik juga mungkin boleh disebabkan oleh sistem imun badan sendiri yang menyerang lapisan perut. Keadaan ini jarang tetapi antara punca yang boleh berlaku.

Bila harus berjumpa doktor?

Simptom bagi keadaan kesihatan ini agak kurang jelas. Perut kembung dan mual adalah perkara yang biasa dialami oleh ramai orang. Dalam banyak keadaan, ia akan hilang sendiri.Namun, jika simptom yang dialami kekal selama seminggu atau lebih, sebaiknya dapatkan nasihat perubatan lebih-lebih lagi jika anda sedang mengambil ubat tahan sakit.

Penjelasan Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan mengenai isu curang dengan izin Allah

Disebabkan ramai yang tidak berpuas hati dengan ulasan yang dikeluarkan oleh instafamous itu, seorang individu telah bertanyakan soalan tersebut kepada pihak Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan mengenai perbuatan curang yang dikatakan kerana izin Allah di laman Facebook mereka.Lihat penjelasan penuh itu di bawah:

SOALAN :Assalamualaikum. Baru-baru ini dalam Twitter kecoh tentang kenyataan seorang influencer yang menyebut bahawa seseorang itu curang dengan izin Allah. Banyak lagi kenyataan beliau yang boleh menimbulkan salah faham kepada masyarakat khususnya golongan remaja yang menjadi ‘follower’ beliau. Boleh atau tidak kita menisbahkan sesuatu perkara maksiat atau jahat yang kita lakukan kepada Allah SWT? Seakan-akan kita mengatakan bahawa Allah redha dengan kejahatan yang kita lakukan. Seperti curang dengan izin Allah, mencuri dengan izin Allah, buat salah dengan izin Allah.Mohon pencerahan. Terima kasih.RINGKASAN JAWAPAN :Kesimpulannya, perbuatan menisbah kejahatan, keburukan dan maksiat yang dilakukan kepada Allah SWT ialah perbuatan yang tidak beradab terhadap-Nya. Ya, Allah SWT menciptakan semua perkara termasuk semua keburukan dan kejahatan, namun sebagai adab terhadap Allah SWT kita tidak boleh menisbahkan kepada-Nya kecuali perkara-perkara yang baik sahaja.Menurut Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah, setiap hamba Allah mempunyai pilihan sama ada melakukan perkara kebaikan atau kejahatan. Namun kesemuanya tidak terkeluar dari kehendak Allah SWT. Daripada pilihan inilah manusia diuji dan akan diberikan balasan berdasarkan pilihan mereka semasa di dunia.Selain itu, ucapan ‘saya melakukan maksiat ini dengan izin Allah SWT’ tidak melazimi bahawa Allah SWT redha terhadap perbuatan maksiat tersebut. Ini kerana kehendak (iradah) Allah SWT tidak melazimi keredhaan-Nya. Oleh itu, sesiapa yang melakukan maksiat dengan pilihan dan kehendaknya sendiri, maka dia mendapat kemurkaan Allah SWT. Ucapan sebegini tidak sepatutnya disebut dan malah perlu dielakkan, apatahlagi jika diniatkan untuk menghalalkan perbuatan maksiat dilakukan oleh seseorang.WaAllahu a’lam.

Husband Claims A Bear Dug Up His Wife's Grave In Gua Musang & Ate Her Remains

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

Residents of a village in Gua Musang, Kelantan, are terrified of a wild bear that, they claim, has been roaming around their backyards

According to Berita Harian today, 9 January, more than 200 Orang Asli residents of Kampung Perawas, Pos Balar in Gua Musang were terrified when the wild bear was spotted near their village last week.One of the residents, 50-year-old Mazlan Aluij said that the wild bear dug up his wife's grave on the morning of  27 December and consumed her remains, reported New Straits Times.He said his wife died due to a stroke and was buried in the Kampung Dakoh graveyard on 1 December.

Mazlan said that he noticed footprints and bear excrement when he went to the graveyard to clean his wife's grave on 26 December

According to him, he was there with his son."The next day, I brought the village residents along to check the area," he said, adding that they found that his wife's remains were eaten by the wild bear, which was roaming around the graveyard."The distance between the house and the graveyard is only about 300m. It had become routine for us to visit and clean graves, but there was nothing suspicious before this," he said."The wild bear that was roaming around my backyard also attacked a pet dog, so we filed a complaint with the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) to take immediate action."Mazlan, along with some other Orang Asli from the Temiar tribe, has since filed a police report.

How A Girl Lost A Decade Ago In The 2004 Tsunami Got Reunited With Her Parents

A four-year-old Indonesian girl swept away by the devastating 2004 tsunami has been reunited with her family a decade after she was given up for dead, her mother said Thursday

Raudhatul Jannah, now 14 years old, was miraculously spotted by her uncle in June after she was long given up for dead by her heartbroken parents following the Dec. 26, 2004, catastrophe, reported AFP.

        nydailynews.com

"God has given us a miracle," said Jamaliah, the mother of Raudhatul Jannah, who went missing when she was four years old.

        abc.net.au

The girl, named Raudhatul Jannah, and her seven-year-old brother were carried off when huge waves struck their home in West Aceh district on 26 December 2004, reported AFP

Four-year-old Raudhatul Jannah and her seven-year-old brother were separated from their parents while holding onto a floating piece of wood in the tsunami waters, when it hit her West Aceh home on December 26, 2004, reported DPA.

        dailymail.co.uk

Jannah's mother Jamaliah, 42, and her husband survived the quake-triggered tsunami that killed tens of thousands in Aceh, on western Sumatra island, and had long ago given up hope of finding either of their children alive.

        abc.net.au

About 170, l000 died in Aceh ... What was once a thriving village near the coast of Sumatra after the earthquake and ensuing tsunami on 26 December 2004.
Image via news.com.au

Jamaliah said that she and her husband desperately searched for their children for about a month before presuming that all hope was lost. The powerful storm had killed hundreds of thousands of people in 14 countries, while leaving their homeland splintered and for the most part under water.

        nydailynews.com

It wasn't until the child's uncle spotted a girl resembling Jannah in a nearby village that the mystery of whatever happened to their daughter began to come to a close

In June, Jamaliah's brother spotted a girl in a village walking home from school who bore a striking resemblance to Jannah. He made inquiries and found out that the girl had been caught up in the tsunami, and was swept from Aceh to some remote islands southwest of the province.

        news.com.au

A fisherman rescued the girl, took her back to the mainland and handed her to his mother, who raised the youngster, according to Jamaliah.

        abc.net.au

After the tip-off from her brother, Jamaliah and her husband, who moved to the neighbouring province of North Sumatra following the tsunami, went back to Aceh in late June to visit the girl, now aged 14

Jamaliah said she is willing to take a DNA test to prove that Weni (right), as she is now known, is the daughter who was taken from her in the tsunami waters 10 years ago
Image via dailymail.co.uk

They discovered that she was indeed their daughter who went missing a decade earlier. "My husband and I are very happy," Jamaliah told AFP. "I am so grateful to God for reuniting us with our child after 10 years of being separated."

        straitstimes.com

Her husband Rangkuti, admitted he did not believe his daughter could be alive when his brother-in-law first spotted her

“There’s no way that’s my daughter, I thought, because it had already been 10 years,” he said, speaking in the capital of Aceh province, Banda Aceh, where the family had travelled to meet journalists.

        telegraph.co.uk

But he went on: “When we saw her, we knew, we felt the bond right away. If we need to do a DNA test, then we are prepared to, if people don’t believe us. But we are sure she is our daughter,” he added.

        straitstimes.com

Jannah, the girl, who appeared shy and overwhelmed by the media attention, told reporters:

“I am very happy I can be with my mother and father again.” She also said she was happy to meet her younger brother, who was born after the tsunami.

        nypost.com

Now, she has moved to North Sumatra to live with her parents, who say they are now hopeful they can find their son

“We are very hopeful we can find her brother,” Rangkuti told reporters. “We have reported our son missing to the police so they can help us find out his whereabouts.”

        abc.net.au

Rangkuti believes his son Arif Pratama Rangkuti may still be on the Banyak Islands, an archipelago some 100 kilometres from the Aceh coast where the children ended up after being swept away.

All You Need To Know About Tun M & BN Leaders' Press Conference On SOSMA "Abuse"

In a press conference held earlier today, former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir - alongside several Barisan Nasional (BN) veterans - teamed up to condemn the charges brought upon 2 individuals under the anti-terrorism Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA)

Image via The Malaysian Insider

Joining Tun M during the press conference, which was held in Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya, were UMNO deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, UMNO vice-president Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, former UMNO secretary-general Tan Sri Sanusi Junid and former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

Muhyiddin, Razaleigh and Dr Mahathir have all stood up as critics of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).Muhyiddin’s opposing views on the state investment fund was what caused him to be dropped in the July 28 Cabinet reshuffle alongside Shafie.

        thestar.com.my

For context, former Batu Kawan UMNO vice-chief Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan and his lawyer, Matthias Chang were charged under SOSMA today, 12 October, for allegedly attempting to sabotage country's economy

Image via Najjua Zulkefli / The Malaysian Insider

Khairuddin and Chang were charged today, 12 October, in the magistrate's court with attempting to sabotage the Malaysian economy and the country's financial and banking system. They are accused of committing the offence in France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Singapore, between June 28 and August 26 this year.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Khairuddin was arrested after making several reports overseas, including in Singapore, Switzerland, France and Hong Kong against 1MDB.

        thestar.com.my

On 18 September, Khairuddin was arrested by the police about 7.30pm at his Mont Kiara residence, a few days before he was scheduled to meet Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents in America.On 23 September, Khairuddin was re-arrested at the Kuala Lumpur High Court under SOSMA for acts of sabotage.His lawyer Chang, meanwhile was detained on 8 October after visiting Khairuddin at the Dang Wangi police station.

        astroawani.com

In a prepared statement, which was also co-signed by former MCA chief Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik, the group maintained that the duo's actions were not unlawful, adding that their arrest is an abuse of legal power to silence government critics as well as a violation of the law's purpose

Image via Muhyiddin Yassin's Facebook

“The use of this new law is meant to be for terrorists but it is clear that the government is using this law for all kinds of things, especially against criticism of government and so they are defining sabotage according to their own will and needs without adhering to the purpose of laws,” said Dr. Mahathir.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

They also demanded for Khairuddin and Chang to be released immediately, reminding PM Najib about his promise that SOSMA would not take away the rakyat's freedom to express their views and opinions

“Based on the Prime Minister’s promise on April 16, 2012, the two citizens must be released immediately and the authorities must provide a guarantee that no one else will be arrested under the Act merely for expressing their views, opinions, criticisms or take part in any action which is authorized by the Constitution and laws of the country,” read a statement by the group and co-signed by another former MCA president, Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik, who was not present at the press conference.

        thestar.com.my

Read the full statement (in Malay) here.

Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, who is also the former Minister of Rural and Regional Development and a part of the Cabinet who approved SOSMA, said, "It was specific to terrorism and guarantees were given in Parliament that it won’t be used for political reasons."

Image via Sinar TV's YouTube

Veteran UMNO leader Tan Sri Sanusi Junid expressed his surprise at the authorities' stand that removing the Prime Minister is a bigger terrorist threat than toppling the government

Image via Lim Huey Teng / Malaysiakini

"If you regard toppling the prime minister is terroristic threat, then toppling the government is more terroristic threat, then you should go out and arrest all opposition. "It seems toppling the government is not a crime, but toppling the prime minister is," he said in denouncing the detention of former Umno leader Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan and Matthias Chang under Sosma.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Describing the duo's detention as "draconian" and a "3rd world act", Gua Musang MP Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said that this is an inaccurate interpretation of SOSMA and urged the government to reconsider detaining citizens without representation

Image via The Star Online

“We feel we have gone over the era of ISA when we talk about becoming a developed country, but we do not seem to have matured when we go back to this Third World kind of legislation where we can detain people without representation," he said. “It is wrong. The government must reconsider. I have come here because Tun (Mahathir) had invited me to talk about the situation and put our arguments forward."

        therakyatpost.com

Tengku Razaleigh added that a lot of people had asked him to make a stand to the government about the abuse of the law. “This is not the spirit SOSMA was presented to Parliament. We were under the understanding that this was not like the ISA (Internal Security Act). But the way it is being interpreted is not right,” he said, referring to the colonial-era law on preventive detention that has since been repealed.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Tengku Razaleigh added that UMNO's current system has failed its grassroots members whose voices have been drowned out by the upper leadership, adding that there should be a new system allowing members to have proper representation

"The party system has failed. Now it seems to be dominated by the voices of the leaders rather than grassroots level, there’s a big difference so because of that, I think it has failed," he said. “It seemed the ideas are coming from upstairs down, rather than downstairs up."

        themalaysianinsider.com

Former Deputy PM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin advised UMNO members to not be afraid to speak up against the party leadership if it is the right things to do, explaining that he knew many at the grassroots level are concerned but are not willing to express their views

Image via Kamal Ariffin / The Malaysian Insider

“When I go down to the ground, the feeling among the grassroots is obvious. I have met with party leaders at all levels. But UMNO members, perhaps out of respect or due to our Malay culture, we tend to suppress our feelings," he explained. “I ask them to be open and express their feelings. Do not be fearful of consequences if you are doing the right thing,” said Muhyiddin, at a press conference with several Barisan Nasional veterans at the Perdana Leadership Foundation here. He added that members should use “the right platforms” to voice their dissatisfaction, including the upcoming Umno general assembly.

        thestar.com.my

When asked whether he was worried Umno would take disciplinary action against him for speaking up, Muhyiddin said that it was part and parcel of being a leader.“I believe in the principle of justice. Although I am still holding a post in the party, that does not stop me from expressing my opinions with what’s going on in the party because it involves the public.“So I am not worried because this is an effort to fight for the people’s rights. Was I wrong for doing this? The party never said we should support it blindly because the support should be based on law and religion," he said.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

During the press conference, Mahathir also remarked on the "climate of fear" which has discouraged people from expressing their views, even if it's the truth, for fear of being detained by the authorities

Image via Saw Siow Feng / The Malay Mail Online

“We see a climate of fear among the people. They have a lot of concerns but they say they have no avenues for them to express their views. People with evidence say the same thing. When they say the truth, they are subjected to pressures such as detention,” he added.

        todayonline.com

“The government is not functioning according to the laws of the country but beyond the laws. That’s why we have come here to make a statement that we are against the abuse of laws of this country and other activities of government which are questionable," he said.“We hope that the people will understand why we have taken this stand and I hope that the people will also express their objections to the government arresting and detaining people without any legal basis for their action,” he added.

        thestar.com.my

Mahathir added that he is prepared to be arrested and prosecuted under SOSMA as well.
"According to their the Government's interpretation of ‘sabotage of government’, anyone who says anything against the Prime Minister is about to topple the Government," he said.

"But toppling the Government is a right of the people in a democracy," he added. "So they may take action against me or anyone of us, but somebody has to take the risk to voice our disquiet, anger, and feeling that the government is not looking after the interests of this country. Somebody must say it. So we have taken it upon ourselves to say it."

        thestar.com.my

Meanwhile, former MCA president Tan Sri Dato' Ong Tee Keat expressed his disappointment that MCA is still rallying their support for PM Najib despite accusations of corruption and power abuse

Image via Saw Siow Feng / The Malay Mail Online

“If you ask me my views, of course I would handle the situation differently as compared to what the current leaders are doing. If need be, we (MCA) need to hold a referrendum within the party or community (to find out) whether or not we should stay within the (Barisan Nasional) coalition,” he said.Ong, a former Cabinet Minister, said the reason for his comments was because of the growing dissatisfaction among the Chinese community with the current crop of MCA leaders and how they were handling current issues affecting the country.“Today I’m here not to represent MCA. By and large, the MCA grassroots, being part of the community, have a lot of grouses and (feel) uneasiness over the situation in the country and also their future.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Mahathir rehashed his call for a parliamentary vote of no-confidence against Najib, saying that it's a normal practice around the world and that it's the only way to remove a man who is abusing his position

Image via Kamal Ariffin / The Malaysian Insider

“Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was pushed by his own party and there was no outcry that that was not right or against the law," he explained.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

However, Tengku Razaleigh said that a no-confidence motion may not even materialise, as it is dependent on the Parliament speaker's prerogative

By parliamentary convention, government business has to be completed before any motions can be deliberated."We were told the speaker has the right to reject any effort like that because it is not stated in the standing orders. So any efforts to have such a motion that is not allowed by the speaker will be futile if we want to bring it," he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“Seeing that such a move would be stopped from the very beginning, it would be futile to pursue this course of action. But there are other ways to approach this and we will talk in a different forum," he added.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0 has even launched a campaign to urge Malaysians to petition their respective MPs to call for a no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister:

This Heartwarming Unity Project Will Give You Hope That All Conflicts Can Be Resolved

Colombia is a beautiful little country located in the northwest of South America, only a short 4-hour flight from Mexico City. Its impressive ethnic and linguistic diversity has given it a rich cultural heritage to be proud of.

Columbians have a national love for celebration which can be seen through their various festivals and carnivals such as the Black and White Festival, Manizales Festival and the Barranquilla Carnival.

Taking a stroll through the streets of major cities like Bogotá and Cartanega is a feast for the senses

You'll be delighted by the gorgeous Spanish Colonial architecture, mouthwatering smells of traditional Colombian cooking, and sounds of lively music.Not to mention, the people are totally friendly and welcoming and it's also home to some absolutely stunning natural wonders.

The classic Colombian blend is known to be slightly more sweet than acidic with a nutty undertone.

They're also apparently responsible for about 70%-90% of the world's supply of emeralds

Image via tyhua

Colombian emeralds are highly prized as they are of extremely high quality.

But beneath its external charm lies a painful reality not many are aware of today: Colombia has been torn apart by one of the world's longest wars for decades

Image via The Telegraph

How did the war begin?

The conflict dates back to the 1940s and involves a very long and complicated history but the crux of the whole thing is that there are various parties fighting to increase their influence on territories in Colombia. The main parties at war with each other are the Colombian government and two left-wing guerrillas, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), and the National Liberation Army (ELN). At the same time, there are also various right-wing paramilitary groups and crime syndicates involved.

Image via Bogota Employment Project

Their fighting set off a period known as La Violencia which lasted until 1958 and saw more than 300,000 Colombians being killed. Even today, the conflict is still ongoing and the citizens of Colombia are caught in the middle of it all and remain divided despite the peace talks in progress.

But the hope for unity is alive and strong in this divided nation. It is this desire of its people that allowed Colombia to play host to a totally heartwarming unification art project last month.

Johnnie Walker and the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (MAMBO) came together to enable American photographer Spencer Tunick to carry out one of his famous large-scale nude photoshoots. This time, it featured 6,000 Colombian volunteers from all sides of the conflict. They participated in the project as a sign of peace and unity and to express their belief of a better tomorrow.

Listening to the stories of what they've been through and seeing how they're still willing to put the past behind them to move forward towards a united future is truly touching. :')

Watch the video Johnnie Walker produced on the project below:(Warning: the following video is slightly NSFW)

Here's the really good news: shortly after this project took place (on 23 June 2016 to be exact), the Colombian government and the FARC rebels signed a historically significant ceasefire deal

While this in no way means that the conflict has been completely resolved, it's at least a huge step in the right direction. Here's hoping that Colombia will see the peace and unity it longs for soon and a big kudos to Johnnie Walker for being part of this wonderful initiative! #KeepWalkingColombia

The Colombians are not the only people keeping the hope for unity alive:

Kesian Tengah 'Pening-Pening Lalat', Pensyarah Terpaksa Bawa Kucing Waktu Mengajar

Kucing, antara haiwan yang penuh dengan ragam

Kucing adalah haiwan yang cukup comel. Telatahnya yang nakal dan manja mampu mencuit hati sesiapa sahaja terutamanya penggemar haiwan tersebut.

Image via Fimela

Ada di antara penggemar kucing yang sanggup menghabiskan ribuan ringgit setiap bulan semata-mata mahu memastikan mereka sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat dan mendapat penjagaan yang paling optimum.Demi memastikan haiwan comel itu sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat, ia perlu diberi dengan makanan yang berkhasiat, selain rutin penjagaan kesihatan seperti suntikan vaksin secara berkala bagi memastikannya tidak dijangkiti penyakit berbahaya.

Baru-baru ini viral di laman Twitter apabila seekor kucing terpaksa dikendong tuannya hingga ke tempat kerja kerana kucing itu sedang dalam keadaan 'pening-pening lalat'

Kucing itu yang bernama Baby sebenarnya baru dibawa berjumpa dengan veterinar. Selepas menerima rawatan di klinik haiwan dan memikirkan keadaan kucing itu yang tidak seperti biasa, tuannya yang merupakan seorang pensyarah dalam bidang Statistik di Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) terpaksa membawanya bersama sehingga ke dalam kelas.Rakaman tersebut telah dirakam dan dikongsikan oleh salah seorang pelajar di kelas itu menerusi laman Twitter.

The HappyFresh App For Grocery Shopping: 8 Things We Liked

Grocery delivery remains one of the several voids that the supermarket industry has yet to fill. However, HappyFresh, a new e-commerce startup launched in March, is claiming to fill that void with its one-hour grocery delivery in Kuala Lumpur.

Image via SAYS

Here's how it works:

Shoppers look at grocery stores and select the items/products they want to buy, heading to the basket menu to pay. Deliveries, which can be sent to their door in an hour or scheduled for later, are monitored in-app, much like Uber.According to HappyFresh, each order is fulfilled by personal shoppers who are permanently based at their partner stores, and they notify you about the process as their personal shoppers go about buying what your ordered.The app also lets shoppers schedule the arrival of its one-hour delivery option a few days in advance, giving shoppers a fixed time that they need to wait at home for the package to arrive.

In an interview with TechCrunch, HappyFresh co-founder and Executive Chairman Tim Marbach said that their "goal is to have the full selection of offline stores." And HappyFresh has plenty of credentials on paper to take its proposition seriously.

It's a well-backed startup."HappyFresh has raised a single-digit million USD pre-round A financing with local VCs, international angels and institutional capital," its press release reads. According to Tim Marbach, it is "one of the largest seed stage funding in the region… [from a] combination of local VCs, international angels, and institutional capital."HappyFresh also has an impressive team.Its seven co-founders - CEO Markus Bihler, CTO Fajar Budiprasetyo, COD Benjamin Koellmann, CFO Dr. Konstantin Lange, CCO Kai Kux, executive chairman and investor Tim Marbach, and Stefan Jung from Monk’s Hill Ventures as advisor, each come with experience in the tech business including Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, The Boston Consulting Group, J.P. Morgan, Rocket Internet, and Rocket Internet’s Lazada Group.

We put HappyFresh to the test. Here's what we liked:

1. Browsing through 'everything' in a grocery store with the help of categories and keywords

Image via SAYS

If you know what you want, you won't have to walk down five aisles in a grocery store to hunt it down here. An easy keyword search will quickly give you options to choose from. We liked how we could easily scroll and swipe to reveal more products within a category.HappyFresh currently serves selected areas in Klang Valley. Inside the app, users can check if HappyFresh delivers your location by putting in your area or postal code to see what stores are available in your location.

2. The product images

Image via SAYS

Beautiful imaging makes everything look more enticing. We were drawn to how items indeed look fresh, which is a big win for an app that promises to deliver fresh produce within an hour.However, if you're not happy with the quality of the product upon delivery, HappyFresh claims that they "will reimburse the full price of the item."

3. Keeping tab of prices as you shop

Image via SAYS

You know that feeling of being jolted by the total of your shopping at the checkout counter, wondering how it got to the hundreds? Or not knowing how much an item costs because there isn't a price label? Well, the HappyFresh cart totals everything up for you; you can control quantities and change your mind with a quick tap.However, prices are 10% more on items shopped on the HappyFresh app, a fee for people who value convenience, personalised shopping, and precious time saved.

4. Satisfying notifications that your personal shopper has begun selecting your items!

Image via SAYS

As stated earlier, HappyFresh has personal shoppers who are trained to select the best and fresh items (if you don't know how to choose pineapples or meat cuts, you're covered)!The app, however, currently doesn't support a return policy for any items that you may have accidentally purchased and would want to return. In such cases, you are required to coordinate returns directly with the store you have purchased from.

5. The fact that you get to shop from your home or office. You also get to schedule your delivery.

Image via SAYS

Buy groceries for dinner from your office, have it delivered before you leave, and head straight home to cook it. Selecting when you want your groceries to arrive is also a nifty feature that surely gets an extra point from us.While delivery for your first order is free, you'll be charged RM20 for next-hour delivery if your order size is under RM100 and RM15 if it's over RM100.For all other delivery times, the charge is RM15 if your order size is under RM100, RM10 if it's under RM300 and free for more than RM300. Users can see the delivery prices for their order at checkout.

HappyFresh delivers from 10am to 10pm depending on local store hours.

6. Getting an SMS from the person who will deliver your groceries

Image via SAYS

We were pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from the person who would deliver our order! Adds a personal touch to it.

7. Delivery within the next hour (stalking the status of your order in the meantime is addictive)

Image via SAYS

Our order was placed at 4.25pm and Baskaran, our delivery man, arrived at the delivery destination, our office, at 5.50pm. True to its word that the delivery would arrive as scheduled between 5-6pm. We can imagine the app's service appealing to young professionals who want to get home from the office as soon as they can to have dinner and unwind. Speaking about how HappyFresh came about, Bihler says, "The only way was to eat out all the time. But we wanted to know what was going into our food and enjoyed being able to prepare simple meals at home with friends and family. Having fresh groceries delivered to your doorstep presented the solution."

8. The items are as advertised and yes, fresh

We received our HappyFresh orders from Baskaran at the office!
Image via SAYS

We could see the condensation on the walls of the plastic packed Chinese lettuce and grapes, but that was understandable, seeing the groceries are placed in a normal non-woven bag. We would've preferred for fresh produce to be separated from dry goods though. The packet of chips was in pristine condition!

An order invoice is sent to your email with a summary of your order including an itemised list of groceries you purchased. It's liberating when you don't have to deal with paper receipts and you can always fall back on your digital invoices to track your expenditure.

Image via SAYS

Totally random: you can leave a note under 'Delivery Instruction' at Check-out like we did in the screenshot above. We had requested Baskaran, the delivery man to do a 'happy dance' but since he was shy, we let him escape.

HappyFresh is available for both Android and Apple devices

Image via wordpress.com

HappyFresh provides first-time shoppers with free delivery in addition to RM30 off for your first  shopping experience and when your grocery basket size hits RM100 and above.


Here's Why Early Intervention For Children On The Autism Spectrum Is Really Important

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

They say that kids absorb information quickly and their brains are highly active when they're young

Image via Stephen Andrews/Unsplash

My name is Imelda and I used to be a special needs educator at Lighthouse Academy where I taught children with Autism and other learning difficulties from as young as 3 years old up to 18 years old. With over three years of experience in this industry, I'm trained to carry out early intervention programmes, behaviour management, and prepare individualised education plans for students. You'll notice that babies and toddlers are extremely curious about their surroundings, which is why they love to explore using their senses like putting things in their mouth, touching everything and anything, learning to taste different food textures, and even seeing what their limbs can do.Even though kids with autism do come with their fair share of challenges, it is easier to understand, stimulate, and teach them when they're younger, as they learn skills easier. You can look out for signs of autism in a baby from an age as early as six months. Here are some of the signs: - lack of eye contact- lack of emotions or none at all - does not interact with others - does not know how to play - does not respond when their name is called- have a delay in milestones- repetitive strange behaviours like hand flapping- obsessive over certain items or actions like the movement of a spinning fanDo note that autism does not go away or can be cured, but the severity of the spectrum can be lessened with early intervention, which makes it easier for one with autism to adapt to the world around them.

Here are some reasons as to why it's crucial to start early intervention as young as possible:

It's easier for teachers and parents to see improvements in aspects like their social skills when the child learns and is trained from an early age

Image via Austin Pacheco/Unsplash

If you didn't know, no one child on the spectrum is the same. Their needs and the way they view the world are totally different from ours and each other. Yes, autistic children may have some similar characteristics. But, once you get to know and understand each and every one of them, you'll notice certain traits that set them apart. This is why it's best to learn to understand their individual needs from a young age, so a personalised plan can be created to help them develop skills that they may lack in areas such as social skills, fine motor skills, and more. For example, autistic kids often struggle with managing their own emotions as well as showing emotions towards others. These have to be taught, so they know how to react to situations.

Early intervention also helps them improve self-regulation and coping with the world around them

Image via Kelli McClintock/Unsplash

Certain kids are sensitive to the texture of clothing and might even refuse to put them on. In this instance, we can start with baby steps to desensitise them. Parents can try putting a shirt on them for a few seconds then increase to a few minutes and hours as time goes by. Giving them a duration of time that they can look forward to also helps them reduce their anxiety. Most kids on the spectrum love to have structure and routines in their lives, which includes knowing when certain activities begin and end. In the classroom, having a visual timetable that they can follow and refer to in order to know what is coming up next helps reduce their anticipation and keeps them calm. By getting diagnosed earlier, parents will also know what to do when their child has a breakdown and understand what can be done to calm them down. It's not always a linear way, but over time you'll understand your child better as well, with the help from therapists and the early intervention programme.

From building friendships to ordering food at a restaurant, communication is a key aspect of everyday life. But, what happens if you're unable to communicate?

Image via Pyramid Education Consultants

A child starts communicating as early as six to eight months non-verbally. They might cry when they are hungry or show certain gestures to show you what they need. But, kids on the spectrum might have delays in communication or speech. By detecting a delay in the normal development chart, you'll be able to start your child with autism with early intervention, and get them introduced early to speech, language, and communication skills with a therapist.The earlier you start with a speech therapist, the sooner you're bound to see improvement when communicating with your children. This includes identifying their speech problems, and if it's articulation, you can do exercises to help with their pronunciation. And if the kids can't speak, they can opt for PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) or use sign language, which is helpful to learn at an early age so they can communicate their needs fluently with you.Since kids spend a lot of time with parents or caretakers at an early age, it's important for them to follow the practices set by the therapist to have consistency at home and in the centre, so the kids don't get confused.

Kids on the spectrum may even struggle with living skills as simple as putting on socks, so by starting early intervention, it can help them be independent

Image via Isabella Angélica/Unsplash

Autistic children can find it hard to grasp basic living skills like using a fork and spoon, drinking water from a cup, and listening to instructions. Through programmes like applied behavior analysis (ABA), which is an evidence-based therapy, autistic children can learn what are appropriate and inappropriate behaviours through a reward system. As kids, we used to love getting rewards as they motivated and encouraged us, whether it is to get our homework done or complete chores.  I've seen kids that love to bite or hit themselves as a way to regulate their frustrations. When this is not tackled at an early age, as they get older, they get more violent which sometimes results in hurting their own parents or siblings. With early intervention, we can identify the triggers that make them bite or hit themselves, and teach them an alternative behaviour like squishing a stress ball when they feel frustrated. With time, they'll keep up with the practice and show fewer inappropriate behaviours.

With that being said, society should also build an understanding and awareness towards autistic children, so they are not the only ones adapting to the world but can count on the world adapting towards them too

Berada di tempat yang tepat, pada masa yang tepat, menjadi caption kepada gambar tersebut di Instagram Apple. Ternyata, ungkapan itu juga bertepatan dengan tuah yang diterima oleh pegawai polis tersebut.

Gambar tersebut telah ditangkap di Kampung Rusila, Marang, Terengganu, sekitar Ogos tahun lalu ketika Iskandar sedang berjalan-jalan di tepi pantai Rusila bersama rakannya

Menurut pegawai polis yang berusia 28 tahun itu, dia ternyata sangat gembira apabila gambar yang diambilnya menggunakan telefon iPhone XR terpilih untuk dipaparkan di akaun instagram Apple. Katanya kepada MStar, "Sudah semestinya saya terharu dan gembira. Rasa bertuah pun ada sebab gambar saya terpilih untuk disiarkan di akaun Instagram Apple. Belum pernah lagi dapat pengiktirafan dari syarikat besar macam ini."

Tidak berasal daripada Terengganu, Iskandar berkata dia menjadikan photography sebagai hobinya demi mengisi masa lapang tatkala mula bertugas di negeri itu sejak tahun 2013 lagi."Saya jadikan mobile photography sebagai satu hobi. Semua gambar saya rakam guna telefon sahaja. Untuk gambar itu (lelaki panjat pokok kelapa), ia dirakam sekitar pukul 6.30 pagi di kawasan kampung," ujarnya.
