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

There's no doubt that all parents think their children are worth the world, or are priceless for that matter.
One influencer, however, may have just proven that phrase to be true.

Singaporean YouTuber and blogger Naomi Neo has been an active presence on social media for numerous years. Documenting various happenings and stages in her life, Neo hasn't been afraid to broadcast her life to the public, even after becoming a mum over the past few years.Recently, Neo posted a TikTok of her two-year-old daughter's birthday bash. Organising the event from top to bottom, the party was a hit in every way. As the event was dinosaur-themed, Neo got some help when it came to organising the interior decorations for the party.With life-sized dinosaur figurines to a ball pit and slide, there was also a bouncy house and dinosaur cutlery to accompany the kids meal setting. Neo also featured an edible dinosaur sensory play area for the kids.

However, the festivities didn't come without a hefty price tag, as Neo revealed at the beginning of the TikTok that the entire birthday expenditure cost about SGD20,000 (approximately RM66,200).

Drawing a big reaction online, many people were quick to chime in with their thoughts on Neo throwing such an expensive party for her child

"Her birthday party is [worth more] than my whole bank account," wrote one user, while others stated that if they were to tally the total cost of all their birthdays they've had into adulthood, it still wouldn't meet the amount spent on this party."I don't even have SGD20,000, let alone SGD20,000 for a birthday party!" penned another user.

A cheeky few even asked Neo to 'adopt' them in the comments section, saying they'd love it if a similar party were to be thrown for them too.Giving context to their personal life, one user wrote, "Meanwhile, my parents will be complaining about the price of cake and stopped getting it for me. Built different for real!" they wrote.

One user even related the birthday party to Kardashian-esque events due to its luxurious outline.

Comparing the cost of the birthday to other things, some users even mentioned how the amount spent for the party could pay university tuition fees or cater to a small wedding

Nevertheless, a few people came to Neo's defence, stating that if she can afford to throw the birthday party, she should be allowed to spend on it, as it is for her child anyways."Can't a mom go all out for her daughter's birthday?" wrote one user.

Find Out That Song In Your Head Just By Humming It On Google

If you've had a song stuck in your head but have no idea what the title is, Google can now help you – all you need to do is hum or whistle a part of the song

It's a new feature called 'Hum to Search'.

Here's how it works:

1. Head to your Google App or Google Assistant, click on the microphone icon, and say, "Hey Google, what's this song?"

2. Start humming the tune for about 10 to 15 seconds

Image via Tamara Jayne/SAYS

3. Google will then show you likely results based on your tune

A screenshot of an example.

After testing it out yesterday, it seems to be pretty accurate as long as the song is reasonably well-known and your humming isn't too off-tune. :pThe new feature is available on both the Google app for iOS and Android. Plus, according to Business Insider, it's available in 20 languages, with hopes of adding more in the future.

Last month, Google Maps introduced a feature which allows you to check which areas are affected with COVID-19 cases:

[TERKINI] Rayani Air Bakal Kembali Beroperasi Tahun 2020 & Kekalkan Konsep Sama. Syabas!

Masihkah anda semua ingat dengan syarikat penerbangan patuh syariah pertama Malaysia iaitu Rayani Air?

Memetik laporan Mstar, sebelum ini syarikat penerbangan itu telah menggantung operasinya berkuat kuasa serta-merta pada April 2016. Dilaporkan, sebab penggantungan itu berikutan penstrukturan semula syarikat. Selain itu, mogok yang dilancarkan juruterbang juga dipercayai menyumbang kepada perkara tersebut sehingga beberapa penerbangan terpaksa dibatalkan di saat akhir.

Namun begitu, nampaknya syarikat penerbangan itu bakal beroperasi semula menjelang tahun 2020 ini

Susulan itu, ramai yang gembira dengan berita ini dan mengucapkan tahniah kepada pemilik syarikat penerbangan Rayani Air

Bagaimanapun, ada juga yang mengambil peluang ini untuk menuntut kembali bayaran balik tiket penerbangan mereka sebelum ini

People Are Taking Naked Selfies While Covering Themselves With 1 Finger Because... "Viral"

Another day, another online viral challenge. The latest viral trend that's sweeping the Internet will not only make you go "WTF?!" It's pretty NSFW too, so you'll wanna make sure no one is standing behind you before you scroll any further.

Seriously, there's gonna be a lot of skin showing up on your screen, so don't say we didn't warn you!

Dubbed the One Finger Challenge, the interweb's newest craze involves people taking a naked selfie in front of a mirror while covering their exposed private parts with one finger

Japanese anime artist Sky-FreeDom's picture (left) inspired the One Finger Challenge, demonstrated by YouTuber Aimee Davison (right).

According to YouTuber Aimee Davison (above), who made a tutorial video on how to ace the One Finger Challenge, the viral trend was inspired by Japanese anime artist Sky-FreeDom. The artist had previously drawn a picture of an anime woman standing in front of a mirror and taking a selfie with her shorts pulled down and her shirt pulled up, covering her private parts with one finger and its reflection in the mirror.

How do you even cover your privates with just one finger, you ask?
First, you'd definitely need to be standing - naked - in front of a mirror. Hold up your phone with the camera on and one finger... then keep adjusting 'til your finger and its reflection cover your boobs and genitals.

A 53-year-old partially blind man was denied from submitting his name as an independent candidate for the Titiwangsa parliamentary seat

Habib Bourguiba Abd Hamid, who is a person with disabilities (OKU), missed the deadline to file his nomination papers by two minutes as Titiwangsa parliamentary election officer Firdzaus Said had already made the announcement for the closing of nominations at 10am today, 5 November, reported The Star.Firdzaus explained that if he allowed Habib Bourguiba to enter after the closing of the nominations, he would get in legal trouble as the returning officer, reported New Straits Times."This is a matter of law and there will be serious consequences if I breach it," he was quoted as saying.Habib Bourguiba, however, insisted that it should be the returning officer's discretion to allow him to do so, adding that he was already in the area when the closing announcement was made."My intention is only to contest as an Independent and fight for the disabled and orphans. If I cannot (submit my papers), I will lodge a protest," he told reporters outside the nomination centre.

Habib Bourguiba explained that while he left the house at 8.50am, he was unable to arrive on time due to road closures and traffic condition

"I arrived late because there were multiple road closures on my way here from Kampung Datuk Keramat. I left at 8.50am," the retiree said, adding that he had to go round and round to find the way to the centre.According to the 53-year-old, he arrived at the centre at around 9.55am. However, as he was walking towards the nomination centre's gate, the returning officer announced that the nominations are now closed.

While Firdzaus explained that he cannot bend the rules for him, Habib Bourguiba remained unsatisfied and said that he will appeal

"We will see the power of Allah," he was quoted as saying before leaving the venue.

Is This What The Samsung Galaxy S8 Really Looks Like?

Although Samsung's highly anticipated Galaxy S8 is slated to be released in a few weeks time, we've now gotten what seems to be our best look yet at the phone - thanks to a series of new leaked photos

Image via BGR

Tech website BGR posted a series of images that line up with past rumours regarding the device, which have pointed to a phone with minimal bezels that help fit a large, wraparound display.The larger S8+ features 6.2-inch Quad HD, Super AMOLED display compared to the 5.8-inch screen on the S8.One other important thing to point out something - there isn't a home button.

The phone's left side has a volume rocker and button below that likely represents the power/lock button, moved from its usual position on the right

Image via BGR

The handsets will be powered by a new Qualcomm processor. On top of that, all models will get 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

A third button is put in place on the right that could belong to the rumoured Samsung AI assistant, said to be called "Bixby"

Image via BGR

"Bixby" will apparently let you do everything from controlling Samsung home appliances and third-party apps to search for objects in pictures and process payments with your voice.

Unlike the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, the S8 will have a headphone jack

Image via BGR

Details are still scarce regarding the camera's image recognition abilities, but the phone will have a 12-megapixel camera at the back and an 8-megapixel front shooter.

Serial tech leaker Evan Blass also tweeted an image of the S8 that pretty much looked like the ones leaked by BGR

I think this is what you've been waiting for. pic.twitter.com/FvYfsLOy0R— Evan Blass (@evleaks) March 1, 2017

We don't have to wait too much longer for the real deal. The Korean tech giant will officially unveil the handset at an event in New York on 29 March.


[FACT OR FAKE #63] A 29-Year-Old Actually Changed His Tickets For Both MH370 And MH17

This is Maarten de Jonge, a Dutch cyclist. There are several reports stating that he switched his tickets before he boarded both of Malaysia Airlines' doomed flights - MH17 and MH370.

Maarten de Jonge

It is being reported that he changed his ticket for each MAS flight at the last minute. Flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine, and Flight MH370 disappeared over the Indian Ocean in March.

Image via maartendejonge.com

According to a Netherlands public broadcaster RTV Oost, Maarten de Jonge was scheduled to be on both Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 17 and the still missing flight MH 370. In both cases de Jonge ended up changing his flight at the last minute.

        go.com

So did he really change his tickets for both the doomed MAS flights at the last minute? How much of it is FACT and FAKE?

Maarten de Jonge
Image via washtimes.com

FACT: The 29-year-old had to change his MH17 ticket to another date because he wanted to save money by getting cheap airfare. He was also supposed to board MH370 on 8 March for a competition in Taiwan but changed to another flight to avoid transit.

Maarten de Jonge, 29, born in the Dutch town of Oldenzaal according to his website, was planning to travel back to Kuala Lumpur on flight MH17 from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on July 17 after visiting his home country to participate in national championships. He decided to swap flights as traveling via Frankfurt on Sunday would save him some money, he told local broadcaster RTV Oost.

        smh.com.au

Months earlier, in March, he took another Malaysian Air flight out of Kuala Lumpur, at the same time and in the same direction as a Boeing Co. 777 wide-body airliner taking off for Beijing. That plane has been missing without trace ever since, with no debris found despite the longest search mission in civil aviation.

        go.com

Maarten is a member of Malaysia's Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG).

        deccanchronicle.com

"I could have taken that one just as easily," De Jonge said in an interview with RTV Oost. "It's inconceivable. I am very sorry for the passengers and their families, yet I am very pleased I'm unharmed."

Image via maartendejonge.com

In a statement on his website on Friday he said he was "overwhelmed" by the responses and requests he has received since posting a tweet "Had I departed today, then..." He declined to comment further out of respect for the victims and their next of kins, according to the statement.

        smh.com.au

The 29-year-old, who finished in 35th place in the National Championship Road Race in the Netherlands on 30 June, confirmed the bizarre occurrence on his website

Image via abcnews.com

“How happy I am for myself and my family that I was on this flight and did not take it the last moment; my story is ultimately nothing compared to the misery in which so many people are paid,” de Jonge wrote in Dutch.

        maartendejonge.com

He wrote in a statement on his website that his narrow escape on both the still-missing MH370 and the shot-down MH17 planes should not be the focus of either tragedy

"What has happened is terrible, so many victims, that's a horrible thing," de Jonge said in a translated statement on his website. "I have my story done and I would like to leave it ... my story is ultimately nothing compared to the misery in which so many people are paid."

        washingtontimes.com

The athlete told RTV Oost he still plans on flying to Malaysia later this week, and that despite his close calls with disaster, he isn’t too worried about the flight

Image via buzzfed.com

“I have been lucky twice,” he reportedly said. "You should try not to worry too much because then you won't get anywhere," he told RTV Oost.

This Man Is Walking Backwards 700KM For A Good Cause

First of all, do you think walking backwards is challenging?

An Indonesian man is walking backwards for 700km from Java to Jakarta.
His cause? To raise awareness for deforestation.

Image via AFP

Medi Bastoni set out on his in-reverse journey in mid-July, with the goal of reaching Jakarta by 16 August, a day before Indonesia's Independence Day

In Jakarta, the 43-year-old hopes to meet with Indonesian president Joko Widodo to highlight the issue of deforestation across the country, including at his home on Mount Wilis, a dormant volcano.

Image via AFP

The father of four walks 20 to 30km every day, with a rear-view mirror attached to his backpack to avoid bumping into objects.Along the way, supporters cheer him on and offer him meals or a place to stay, reported AFP.

Medi shared that he chose to walk backwards as he wanted to encourage Indonesians to reflect on the past and remember how national heroes fought for the good of their country

"Of course I'm exhausted, but I'm willing to do this to fight for the next generation," Mr Medi told AFP."My home is losing all of its trees so I have to do something. I can take the pain and fatigue."

Malaysia Kini Dilanda Banjir Teruk, Ini Langkah Yang Anda Perlu Lakukan Jika Anak Lemas

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Malaysia telah beberapa kali digemparkan dengan bencana banjir

Sudah tentu ramai yang sudah membuat persediaan awal untuk menghadapinya, namun siapalah kita mahu menentukan takdir.Ia kadangkala datang tanpa tidak dijangka. Banjir juga telah menyebabkan beberapa kematian yang menyayat hati. Banyak berita sedih yang kita boleh lihat.Hal ini sangat membahayakan terutama sekali bagi golongan tua dan kanak-kanak kecil. Jadi apakah cara jika anak anda lemas? Ini perkara yang dikongsikan oleh Dr Samhan di Twitternya.

Image via @DoktorSamhan (Twitter)

1. Baringkan anak di atas permukaan keras. Minta seseorang segera memanggil 999 bagi bantuan ambulans

2. Jika anak tidak bernafas, satukan kedua-dua tangan dengan meletakkan satu tangan di atas tangan yang satu lagi, lalu letakkan di tengah-tengah tulang dada

3. Teruskan membuat tekanan dengan kedalaman kira-kira sepertiga setiap tekanan

4. Pastikan tekanan dibuat dengan kadar tidak kurang dari 100 kali seminit (Jika 1 tekanan bagi 1 saat ini bererti 60 kali seminit. Jadi pastikan lebih laju dari itu)

Image via CERT Academy

Jika tidak terlatih untuk membuat CPR yang melibatkan pemberian pernafasan pada kadar 30 tekanan dan 2 pernafasan, adalah memadai meneruskan tekanan tanpa pernafasan. Ini masih berkesan kerana oksigen masih akan masuk apabila tekanan dada diangkat dan paru-paru mengembang (recoil) semula semasa tekanan diberi berulangkali.

5. Teruskan membuat tekanan dada hingga pesakit bernafas semula atau ambulans tiba

6. Gilirkan dengan orang lain setiap 2 minit supaya tidak keletihan membuat tekanan dada

Malaysia as a country does not recognise refugees, as a result of which refugee children cannot attend formal schools in the country

Heidy, who started teaching English to refugee children near her neighbourhood when she was barely 18, formed Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR) in September 2012.The unschooled Myanmar refugee children have become her battle. Through her work and the NGO, Heidy hopes to help raise awareness about the state of refugees and provide aid to refugee schools in terms of education and sustenance.

Heidy shares how RFTR was formed

It was formed with a simple wish: To help Chin Children’s Education Centre, a Myanmarese refugee school where she volunteered to teach English, to stay open.The Myanmarese refugee school was in need of English teachers. However, the school soon ran out of funds and was on the verge of being forced to shut.The school was funded by the Office of the UNHCR or the UN Refugee Agency."There I was, a person about to go for higher education while these kids, who can’t receive formal education in Malaysia, were being robbed of the only access to the education they had," Heidy was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini.So she along with her best friend decided to help. They started sharing stories of the refugee children they were teaching on Facebook, utilising the platform's vast reach."We shared our stories, and people just gave,” she said, adding that within a week, they had managed to raise enough money to keep the school open for several months.

It was this process that inspired Heidy and her friend, Andrea, to set up RFTR. Today, it's been five years since RFTR was formed and it now supports 35 schools, caring for over 2,000 refugee children.

Of the 35 schools, 10 schools for refugees are established in the Klang Valley and Penang and the rest of the 25 schools are in Myanmar."RFTR’s main goal is to empower refugee children with an education so that they can self-sustain and be independent. And, hopefully, they too can educate their own communities and make a difference eventually,” says Heidy, as reported by NST.

After it was announced that Heidy is the sole Malaysian winner of the 2017 Queen's Young Leaders Award, Prime Minister's Office called her to ask if she is available to meet. Her recognition was even commended by Prime Minister Najib Razak, who tweeted:

Congratulations @heidyquah on being chosen for the Queen's Young Leaders Award. Your selfless work is an inspiration to others. Proud of u!— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) June 20, 2017

However, the ironical part here is that while PM Najib was quick to congratulate Heidy on her international recognition for her work with refugees, his government has refused to ratify the 1951 Geneva Convention on Refugees despite repeated calls from civil society

Jepun Perkenal Masjid Bergerak Sempena Olimpik, Boleh Muatkan 50 Jemaah Muslim Sekali Gus

Jepun nampaknya mengambil satu langkah positif dalam persiapan Sukan Olimpik 2020 dengan memperkenal 'Mobile Mosque' untuk Muslim

Image via Fukuoka Masjid / Facebook

Walaupun majoriti penduduk di Negara Matahari Terbit bukan beragama Islam, mereka tetap tidak lupa untuk menyediakan kemudahan untuk umat Islam di sana menunaikan solat.Inovasi terbaru daripada Fukuoka Masjid Al Nour Islamic Center ini adalah bersempena Sukan Olimpik yang bakal berlangsung di negara itu pada tahun 2020.

Image via Fukuoka Masjid / Facebook

Masjid bergerak ini telah mula dibangunkan sejak empat tahun yang lalu

Image via Fukuoka Masjid / Facebook

Pada dasarnya, masjid ini hanyalah sebuah trak 25 tan.Namun ia telah diberi pengubahsuaian di mana trak ini boleh 'dikembangkan' bagi menambah keluasan untuk membolehkan 50 orang jemaah solat pada satu masa.Masjid ini turut dilengkapi kemudahan paip air untuk mengambil wuduk, penentu arah kiblat, dan dewan solat yang selesa dan berhawa dingin.

Image via Fukuoka Masjid / Facebook

Dua tahun lalu, Pegawai Eksekutif Korporat Yasu Project, Junya Imamura pernah melawat Masjid Fukuoka bagi membincangkan tentang pembinaan masjid bergerak

“Kami amat hargai peluang bagi menyumbang kepada projek yang penting ini,” katanya.Ketika ini dianggarkan terdapat lebih 200,000 orang Islam di Jepun, namun kebanyakannya pendatang asing.

Tambah Imamura, ketika jumlah umat Islam tempatan di Jepun sendiri meningkat, adalah menjadi satu keperluan untuk memperluaskan hospitaliti kepada mereka yang berhasrat untuk beribadah.

Mobile Masjid in Japan

This mobile masjid was developed over the last four years. It is basically the modification of an already existing 25-ton heavy duty truck, with a widened trunk bed to establish a 48m2 room where up to 50 people can worship at the same time. It is equipped with facilities such as a water basin for purifying and cleansing before worship and indicates Qibla (the direction of Kaaba at Mecca). It was originally designed to be a masjid for a large number of people and where formal worship is possible.Posted by Mohd Sallehin Yusoff on Tuesday, July 24, 2018

Perkara paling tidak disenangi adalah apabila kulit wajah penuh dengan jerawat dan sebagainya. Bila musim kulit wajah buat hal je, mesti anda akan stress tidak terkata!

Lain orang, lain caranya untuk merawat kulit wajah yang bermasalah.Ada yang mempunyai kulit jenis sensitif dan ada juga yang boleh menggunakan semua jenis produk tanpa menerima apa-apa kesan sampingan.Pemilihan produk untuk kulit wajah perlu dipertimbangkan terlebih dahulu, bukan semua produk sesuai digunakan.

Image via Juliya Beauty

Ugh, susah betul kalau ada kulit sensitif!

Seorang pengguna Twitter iaitu Danial Hashim telah berkongsi pengalaman ketika menghadapi masalah kulit wajah breakouts dengan teruk dan cara merawatnya

Memang dari kulit berjerawat sehingga bersih licin. Macam tak percaya je. Ingin tahu rahsianya?Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Macam nak share cara aku recovery dari kulit yang berjerawat kepada kulit sekarang. Tapi ada yang nak baca ke ? Hahahahaha pic.twitter.com/AmiLwAaptv— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Pada mulanya memang rasa tak percaya pernah menghadapi masalah kulit yang seteruk ini. Sampaikan tangan memang asyik 'gatal' je nak picit jerawat.

Ni kulit aku dari sisi dekat. Memang nak nangis masa ni. Aku rasa macam sampai bila-bila pun kulit aku akan stay berjerawat macam ni. Kalau sikit takpe, ini sampai dalam class pun sambil dengar lecture aku boleh picit jerawat pic.twitter.com/4WXycbb7J9— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Tapi bila dah banyak jerawat ni, tangan mulalah gatal. Kerja nak picit jerawat je.. bila picit depan cermin tu, selalu sampai terkeluar terkena cermin. Nikmat dia.. memuaskan.. kalau korang pernah alami picit jerawat macamana rasa nikmat dia korang akan faham apa aku rasa..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Bila dah macam ini, mulalah terasa nak buat research tentang cara terbaik untuk rawat jerawat yang banyak pada kulit wajah. Barulah dapat tahu apa puncanya sedikit demi sedikit...

So masa tu aku start buat study macamana nak recovery jerawat ni. Sebab bukan sikit. Banyak.. kat jawline aku ni boleh picit dengan cubit je.. dah terkeluar isi dia..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Dari research pertama aku dapat ialah shampoo. Shampoo juga boleh menyebabkan jerawat naik kat muka.. terutamanya bila kulit korang jenis yang berminyak and korang pakai shampoo yang berminyak.. terutama sekali shampoo and siap conditioner kerap sangat tu..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Conditioner memang bagus tapi if letak banyak sangat and kerap sangat pakai boleh menyebabkan minyak dari shampoo tu terkena kulit muka and muka tambah berminyak mengundang jerawat untuk tumbuh kat muka.— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Before ni aku pakai shampoo Dove. Dove memang bagus. Rambut aku jadi lembut, tapi bila aku pakai Dove ni aku rasa tak sesuai dengan kulit aku. Plus rambut aku pun jadi kelemumur. So aku tukar kepada Herbal Essences— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Sekarang aku pakai shampoo ni sebab okay dengan aku and wangi. Wangi giler. pic.twitter.com/kwLotIvMkU— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Apa kena mengena pemilihan shampoo dengan kulit wajah berjerawat?

And tambahan sikit pasal research about shampoo and kulit muka. Apa kena mengena shampoo and kulit jerawat ? Okay, aku baca situ kita kena ada turutan mandi juga.. terutamanya bila shampoo and pakai conditioner— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Sekarang aku amalkan turutan mandi aku bermula dengan basahkan badan, shampoo, bilas, pakai conditioner, bilas SEBERSIHNYA, berus gigi, cuci muka and sabun. Bilas.— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Kalau boleh elakkan shampoo or conditioner kena kulit muka. And cuci muka last sekali so sekali cuci if ada shampoo atau conditioner terkena muka..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Okay shampoo aku dah tukar. Proceed untuk step seterusnya.. btw aku tukar Herbal Essences tu sebab dia tak berminyak sangat macam shampoo lain. If korang dah pakai shampoo yang korang rasa okay, teruskan pakai..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Paling menarik, dia tidak lagi menggunakan produk penjagaan kulit wajah khas untuk lelaki. Malah, ditukarkan dengan produk wanita, bermula dengan pencuci muka ibunya.

Lepastu aku rasa aku terbaca or tertengok kat TV, wife @NabilAhmad83 ada cakap yang Nabil guna skincare dia.. kat situ aku macam “chingggg” aku nak tukar skincare, pencuci muka lelaki ni semua macam takde effect. So aku try pencuci muka mak aku..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Pastu disulam dengan hasutan akak aku, dia kata “wey pakai safi, safi bagus” tapi sekarang dia mengingkari kata-katanya dan bertukar kepada pencuci muka lain..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Aku cakap aku pakai pencuci muka mak aku kan. Tadaaaa yes aku memang pakai pencuci muka mak aku, iaitu SAFI RANIA GOLD. pic.twitter.com/aEU2sxXL5q— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

So aku bertukar kepada Safi Rania Gold. Lepastu aku terbaca kat Twitter ada orang tulis kena pakai toner sebab toner tolong kecikkan liang pori kat muka..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

So aku pun pakailah toner dari Safi Rania Gold juga. Tapi aku punya style apply toner adalah aku tak pakai kapas, but aku just letak kat tapak tangan and sapu kat muka. Tepuk tepuk sikit ala ala iklan Hada Labo or SKII pic.twitter.com/207Owqnwhm— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Pencuci muka ni sumpah bagus, tegang je muka aku rasa.. memang bestlah. Toner dia pun not bad..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Bukat setakat itu sahaja, selain pencuci muka, dia juga turut menggunakan skrub muka dari St Ives. Memang sangat berkesan dan membantu dalam proses membaikpulih kulit wajahnya.

Tambahan lagi, antara penyumbang kepada recovery-nya kulit aku adalah aku memakai scrub dari St Ives. pic.twitter.com/pIMX6yrR9z— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Eh kenapa tak pakai Safi Rania Gold punya scrub je ? Aku memang pakai dulu tapi tak best pula. Yang St Ives ni memang best terok. Tapi aku tak pakai kerap sangat. Kalau rajin aku pakai tapi sejak dah recovery ni aku dah stop pakai scrub.— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Ada rasa nak pakai scrub semula tapi malas ya Ampun so sekarang aku just stick pakai pencuci muka and toner tu sahaja..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Tak lupa juga untuk memakai mask ya!

Belum habis lagi.. aku pun pakai mask juga. Facial mask ni aku tak tentu apa ada dalam fridge yang itu aku pakai. Yes aku simpan mask dalam fridge sebab nak rasa kedinginannya bila apply kat muka. Pakai facial mask pun ikut rajin. Kadang-kadang sebulan sekali baru pakai..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Sekarang ni aku pakai facial mask yang ni sebab haritu kan dekat @watsonsmy ada promotion so aku beli je yang murah-murah.. pic.twitter.com/q7DkPLMfO5— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Tangan 'gatal' memang tak boleh dielakkan. Tapi kena ada cara yang tersendiri kalau nak picit jerawat atau blackhead ya!

Ouh ye lepas tu aku still tak boleh buang tabiat aku memicit jerawat. Aku still picit jerawat and blackhead yang ada. Tips kalau nak picit blackhead adalah cuci muka dengan air suam dulu, bagi pori muka kembang so takdelah berbekas bila nak picit blackhead tu..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

So after dah picit tu jangan lupa cuci mukaaaa. Tangan make sure bersih juga, amik ice and letak kat muka.. buat macam kau sapu mentega tu tapi ni ice kat muka.. lagi senang guna ice cubes pic.twitter.com/Miyqs593V1— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Weyyy sorry aku hampir terlupa. Pakai benda ni pun okay. Bagus sangat.. brand ni okay, OXY pun okay.. kat drugstores ada.. sorry tercicir pic.twitter.com/NrA40DNKLT— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Tambahan lagi, untuk menjaga kebersihan kulit wajah, anda harus kerap mencuci tuala. Jangan lupa untuk asingkan tuala badan dan muka.

Lepastu make sure juga korang selalu cuci tuala korang. Kalau boleh asingkan tuala untuk badan and muka. Tapi sebab aku dah tak kuasa nak pakai towel asing ni so aku pakai towel yang sama cuma pilih part towel yang berbeza macam kat hujung bucu towel ke haa situ buat lap muka.. pic.twitter.com/c5ZYCbn5IH— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Lagi satu, selain towel, sarung bantal or cadar juga kena selalu tukar. Terutamanya sarung bantal lah. Macam aku, aku basuh bantal aku sebab bantal aku jenis yang boleh basuh masuk mesin. Bantal korang aku taktahu jangan nanti kau basuh rosak marah mak korang— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Siapa kata sunscreen hanya untuk perempuan? Lelaki pun perlu tau!

Last but not least, pakailah sunscreen. Sunscreen bukan untuk perempuan je ya, untuk lelaki pun penting lagi-lagi akhir zaman ni banyak pencemaran, sinar UV and lapisan ozone yang semakin menipis— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

So aku nak share aku pakai sunscreen dari Bioré. Kecik and paling murah. Kat mana mana drugstore ada pic.twitter.com/57e77QIg8f— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Pesanan dari aku, jangan pakai produk timbang yang ada banyak mercury tu, bahaya, effect nak flawless dia memang seawal 2 minggu dah flawless tapi once kau stop terus teruk muka korang..— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

So akhir sekali aku nak rumuskan : - pakai shampoo yang sesuai- tukar turutan mandi- kerap cuci towel- kerap tukar sarung bantal and cadar- letak ice kat muka untuk bantu kecikkan pori muka- pakai sunscreensThanksss sudi bacaaaa.— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 21, 2018

Hasilnya...
Taraa! Kan bersih muka tu.

Kulit aku harini pic.twitter.com/yeZ0lWtAm8— Danial Faris Hashim (@danial_hashim) October 22, 2018

[PHOTOS] Over 800 Curious And Eager Muslims Turn Up To Fight Their Fear Of Dogs

Sunday morning at around 8, on 19 October, at the Central Park, One Utama, a special event was held for the curious to overcome their fear of dogs. It was aptly titled 'I Want To Touch A Dog'.

Syed Azmi Alhabshi (R), who organised the event.

Organised by Syed Azmi Alhabshi, the event saw hundreds of eager and curious Muslims touching and interacting with dogs

While Azmi is afraid of dogs, he is less afraid of what people think of him, a Muslim, for pioneering the first of its kind of event here

Syed Azmi Alhabshi wants to help people, especially Muslims, get over their fear of dogs.

"The objective is to overcome one's fear of dogs, to understand them better and also to practise 'sertu'. It is not to promote dog adoption," Syed Azmi, a pharmacist in his 30s, told The Malaysian Insider in an interview. The Kuala Lumpur native said he wanted to help people overcome certain misconceptions and sensitivities surrounding dogs.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Azmi said he had permission from the police and the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) to hold the event. Surprised and thankful that the authorities allowed him to proceed with the event, he said they seemed to understand his explanation that it was aimed at helping people overcome their fear of dogs.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Image via I Want To Touch A Dog

"I live in (Taman Tun Dr Ismail) a Malay neighbourhood. I have no Chinese neighbours so there are no pet dogs around. I have seen cases of people running away at the sight of a dog, or throw stones at it. It broke my heart... How do people feel when they see an animal ill-treated, abused or knocked over?" he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

After the event, several of those who went to attend it, started posting colourful photos, flooding the event's Facebook page

At the beginning of the event, Azmi explained the objectives of the event to Malaysians from all walks of life who were present there. It was followed by a short speech by an Ustaz, a Muslim religious teacher, explaining about  'dogs from the perspective of Islam.'

Then a simple demonstration of how ‘Sertu’ is done. Sertu is a way for Muslims to ‘cleanse’ themselves after touching a dog. The whole process is relatively easy and straightforward. Based on the demo, you’ll need to clean yourself with water and dirt, mix them together and wash the affected part for seven times.

DBKL Has Revoked Raj's Banana Leaf Restaurant's Operating License

Following the controversy surrounding Raj’s Banana Leaf restaurant in Bangsar last month, the eatery's license for that particular outlet has been revoked by Kuala Lumpur's City Hall (DBKL)

Image via bestrestauranttoeat

DBKL Licensing and Petty Traders Development Department director Anwar Mohd Zain said that the committee decided to revoke the license after much deliberation and listening to all sides of the story."We went through their explanation and they gave their view. We looked at all angles," he told The Star on Monday, 11 June."So the committee decided it is best to revoke the licence," he said, adding that the license revoked only affects the Bangsar outlet and not the other branches in Klang Valley.

It all began when a video of the restaurant's workers washing dishes in a dirty puddle went viral a few weeks ago

Image via Channel News Asia

The restaurant's management immediately released a statement on 29 May to apologise and assured customers that it was an isolated incident by newly recruited staff.DBKL eventually closed the outlet on 30 May and it was reported that senior personnel representing the owner were interrogated inside the shop. Workers were also seen attending a food-handling workshop after the shutdown.

Kuala Lumpur Mayor Tan Sri Mohd Amin Nordin later said that DBKL had been kind in the past, which led to many eateries having bad hygiene practices

Image via The Rakyat Post

He told StarMetro that he wanted "the place shut down permanently to send a strong message to all eateries in Kuala Lumpur"."I want to send a strong message to everyone that this is unacceptable. We have been too kind, and that's why we have all these bad practices. This type of news is giving the city a bad name."

Last week, twenty officers from the Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya Health Department and Labour Department spent two hours inspecting the restaurant's premises

Raj's banana leaf restaurant was issued three food handling notices by the Health Ministry for not having anti-typhoid vaccinations for its workers and for not offering food handling training, according to The Star.The notices were issued because the restaurant was not registered with the ministry and the premises failed to be pest-free, said Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

Following the incident at Raj's Banana Leaf, five other restaurants were shut down for similar reasons:

                Five Restaurants In PJ Have Been Shut Down Since The Raj's Banana Leaf Incident

The restaurants were closed not only for having dirty premises, but also unhygienic practices.

Pasti ramai di sini yang banyak menghadapi situasi untuk meminta hutang daripada kawan-kawan bukan?

Walaupun dah banyak kali bagi 'hint' tapi masih belum dapat juga duit kita. Kadangkala bukan tak nak tegur direct, tapi takut pula mereka terasa dan boleh memutuskan hubungan silaturrahim itu.Jadi, macam mana nak bagi mereka ini 'sedar' yang kita perlukan duit tanpa buat mereka terasa? Ini mungkin cara sopan yang anda boleh guna untuk meminta hutang daripada rakan-rakan anda.

Untuk yang pertama ini, kalau anda dah rasa dia macam liat sangat nak bayar cuba mesej terus berserta soalan "Hi, bila nak bayar hutang?" tanpa perlu berkias. Ataupun untuk lebih sopan mulakan dengan salam, pertanyaan khabar dan kemudian bertanyakan soalan tersebut.

2. Nak baiki kereta

Antara alasan yang korang boleh guna adalah mengenai penjagaan kenderaan anda. Contohnya seperti mahu servis kereta, kereta masuk bengkel dan sebagainya. Benda ini memerlukan duit dengan segera. Kemungkinan lepas itu mereka terus bank in pada anda.

3. Banyak pakai duit bulan ini

Selain daripada itu, anda mungkin boleh guna alasan dengan memberitahu bulan ini sudah banyak duit habis. Jadi, anda perlukan duit dengan segera dan minta pada si peminjam tu. Harap dia sedar!

4. Keluar lepak sekejap dengan si peminjam

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Mingguan Wanita

Cara ini juga sangat bagus. Anda perlu mengajak si peminjam untuk keluar lepak dahulu seperti minum ke atau makan, dan sambil-sambil syok berbual, masukkan soalan mengenai hutang yang dipinjamnya dari anda.

5. Komen di Insta story mereka

Image via Statusgue

Cara ini mungkin ramai pernah buat. Iyalah, dah pandai pinjam selepas itu bila kita lihat Instagram stories mereka banyak pula duit nak keluarlah, tengok wayanglah dan sebagainya. Anda boleh personal komen dengan bertanya tentang hutang dia daripada anda.

Kalau tak jalan juga cara ini, mungkin dah boleh fikir sendiri kot nak guna cara apa :D

This Budget Airline Wants To Remove Seats From Its Planes

While seats on planes are getting smaller by the year, a budget airline is considering removing seats altogether

Wut?! Really?

Image via Giphy

Yep!

The budget airline is VivaColombia and, according to The Independent, the Colombian airline is considering removing all seats from its planes and make passengers stand.

The airline wants to do this so it can slash ticket prices

By removing the seats from planes, there will be more space to squeeze more passengers as they would be made to stand during the duration of the flight, says the airline, which wants to make air travel accessible to working class Colombians.

Image via Yahoo!

Founder and CEO of VivaColombia, William Shaw told the Miami Herald they are looking into vertical travel options

"There are people out there right now researching whether you can fly standing up – we're very interested in anything that makes travel less expensive," he said, adding:"Who cares if you don't have an inflight entertainment system for a one-hour flight? Who cares that there aren’t marble floors or that you don’t get free peanuts?"

And he is not alone. Ryanair had proposed standing areas on its flights a few years back, with its boss Michael O'Leary expressing doubts that seatbelts were even necessary.

"A plane is just a biga## bus with wings", Michael had said."If there ever was a crash on an aircraft, God forbid, a seatbelt won’t save you. You don't need a seatbelt on the London Underground. You don't need a seatbelt on trains which are travelling at 120mph."

Apparently, these rich airlines CEOs don't seem to be too bothered to know that while peanuts are not important, safety is. As passengers will be standing without any seatbelts to latch on, what if there is turbulence mid-air?

Image via Imgur

Lucky for passengers, though, these flights haven't been approved yet by the civil aviation authorities in any country

And Director of Colombia's Aerocivil, Alfredo Bocanegra told RCN radio that he does not approve of the idea, adding that, "People have to travel like human beings."He also said that "Anyone who had ridden on public mass transport knows that it's not the best when you're standing," reported The Independent.


M'sian Shares Heartwarming Experience Of Commuters Helping An 'Uncle' On The LRT

A netizen's Twitter thread detailing a heartwarming experience with an elderly man on the LRT has caught the attention of many Malaysians on social media

In a post that has garnered 20,000 retweets at the time of writing, Twitter user @nellynonoi wrote that, "I was approaching the stairs in the train station when I noticed a Chinese uncle having difficulty going down."

After asking him, "Uncle, can you see?" the woman discovered that the man had poor vision.
"I cannot see in front. I can only see shadows," he told her.

Image via @nellynonoi/Twitter

The woman offered to hold his hand and accompany him onto the train as their stops were both on the Ampang line.While walking, the man asked Maryamah if she was Chinese, Indian, or Malay. When she responded saying that she was Malay, he said, "Today is Friday. Aren't you going to the mosque?" He also asked how many times Muslims needed to pray in a day and how long each prayer would take.

In her tweet, Maryamah highlighted the quiet acts of kindness shown by other commuters on the LRT towards the elderly man

She wrote that she was surprised to see people giving way when the pair entered the train and offering their seats as soon as they saw him.When the train had reached the man's stop, a commuter "covered in tattoos and piercings" standing nearby held onto him and assisted him out of the train.Once at his stop, Maryamah saw two girls immediately running to help him onto the escalator.

"If there's one lesson to take from this experience, it's that Malaysians are compassionate without even saying a word," she wrote in the Twitter thread

"There are a lot of kind people out there, whether young or old," said Maryamah."May all our kind acts earn us kindness as well."

Well done, commuters! Here's to always being kind and compassionate to those who need it <3

PDRM Explains Why PM Convoy Was Given Priority Instead Of An Ambulance With Its Siren On

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

The Selangor Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) has confirmed that the very important person's (VIP) convoy caught in a viral video was the Prime Minister's entourage

According to a statement on Facebook, the video was said to be captured around 11.30am yesterday, 26 December.In the 29-second long video,  at least 17 vehicles — not including over a dozen motorcycles — were given priority to cross a junction even though an ambulance with its siren on is at the scene.The ambulance had to wait about half a minute for the convoy — which compromises police vehicles, black-tinted sports utility vehicles (SUVs), and luxury multi-utility vehicles (MPVs)  — to get through first.A black uniform individual, who is believed to be a police officer, can be seen standing in front of the lane which the ambulance is on.

Image via @syzwnrose (Twitter)

Selangor JSPT chief Azman Shariat revealed that, at the time, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob's entourage was making an official visit to inspect the cleaning-up progress at flood-hit areas in Hulu Langat.

Azman said that the entourage was given priority at the junction because, based on the assessment of the driver of the lead vehicle, they had to avoid causing an accident

"In the situation that was caught on video, there was a risk of an accident and danger to other road users if the four-wheel-drive vehicle and Malaysian Red Crescent ambulance were allowed to exit the junction," the statement read."This is why the government convoy that had police outriders on the main road was given the priority to avoid any accidents based on the personnel's initial assessment."Azman said that the decision is in line with Traffic Rule No 9 LN 166/959 of the Road Transport Act 1987.The statement added that as soon as the entourage had passed, the ambulance was given priority to exit.Azman said the police are always committed to giving priority to the public, especially when the matters involve the safety of road users and emergency vehicles, such as ambulances and fire engines.

Image via @syzwnrose (Twitter)

Prior to the statement, several members of parliament (MPs) had demanded that the authorities reveal who was the VIP in the convoy

BFM quoted Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim as saying to cancel "VIP convoy culture" in Malaysia.While Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman lamented since when has "rank" become more important than saving lives.At the time of writing, the video has garnered over 1.9 million views and 34,800 retweets.

You can watch the video in Syed Saddiq's tweet below:

Sejak bila pangkat lebih penting dari nyawa?Sedih. https://t.co/JRAB24Yyra— Syed Saddiq (@SyedSaddiq) December 26, 2021

As of 25 December, 46 people have perished due to the floods:

9 Traditional Dishes That Have Become Increasingly Rare In Malaysia

From nasi lemak and bak kut teh to putu mayam and ais kacang, the diversity of Malaysia's cuisine is the result of a myriad of cultural flavours as well as a reflection of the nation's rich past

Image via Ang Sarap

As with many Asian cultures, our cultural identity is very much rooted in food and family. While our dietary preferences and palettes may change over the years, the dishes and delicacies we’ve eaten growing up remain close to our hearts.Sadly, some traditional dishes are at risk of disappearing as they often demand certain skills and patience to prepare.

Here are some traditional dishes that have become increasingly rare to find in Malaysia:

1. Emping

Image via Kayu Manis Korner

Emping (rice flakes), a traditional snack commonly found in Perlis and Kedah, is made of grain of glutinous paddy that has not matured fully. The process of turning grain into rice flakes include separating the husk from the rice through heating and pounding the grain using pestle and mortar. Emping is often served with fresh grated coconut, sugar, and a pinch of salt.It is said that emping can only be enjoyed during the "winter season" of the cold northeast monsoon wind. While it is not readily available everywhere, you can still find it at certain old markets, especially in the northern region of Malaysia.

2. Ayam buah keluak

Image via @the.lucky.belly/Instagram

Ayam buah keluak is a classic Peranakan dish made with chicken braised in spicy tamarind gravy and buah keluak (pangium edule). The usage of buah keluak, also referred to as buah kepayang to some locals, is believed to be linked to Indonesian cuisine, which is slightly different for Peranakan dishes which often have both Hokkien and Malay influence.While it is a popular dish in Singapore, ayam buah keluak is more obscure to some Malaysians, unless you hail from Melaka or have relatives who are Peranakans.

3. Opok-opok

Image via @mimyamysha/Twitter

Opok-opok is a traditional food unique to the people in Terengganu. It is a glutinous rice cracker that is shaped like a pancake and heated over charcoal grill during preparation.To serve opok-opok, roll it with grated coconut, and some salt and sugar.It's difficult to find opok-opok nowadays, so if you ever see anyone selling it at pasar malam, it means you're in luck!

Image via @mimyamysha/Twitter

4. Kerabu sare

Image via @mizalismail/Instagram

Kerabu sare is a well known dish in the east coast of Malaysia, particularly in Kelantan.Pronounced as 'Kerabu saghe' in the Kelantese dialect, it is a local favourite where the salad is made primarily using a type of dried seaweed known as sare as the main ingredient. Sare also means 'sarang' (nest) as the dried seaweed lumped together closely resembles (a) bird's nest.

5. Umai

Image via Cara Memasak

Umai is a traditional delicacy of the Melanau people. Commonly found in Mukah, Sarawak, the dish is made of raw fish with ginger, chilli, and lime juice.Locals sometimes refer to it as 'Sarawak sushi' due to the use of raw fish in the dish. Umai, which is traditionally eaten by fishermen, can be served with a variety of ingredients including asam paya (also called asam payak in Sarawak), a type of fruit that is only found in Southeast Asia.

6. Kebebe

Image via Harian Metro

Kebebe is a type of traditional food for the Malay community of Patani descent  made of 13 different types of ingredients found in the village more than 200 years ago. The dish is primarily made of many different types of fruits including buah cermai (Malay gooseberry), buah cedong (cedar fruit), and banana blossoms, mashed with cili padi, salt, and belacan inside a mortar. Today, kebebe is difficult to find in Malaysia, and is scarcely available in the Lenggong area in Perak.

7. Bubur anak lebah

Image via Suara Perak

One could easily mistaken bubur anak lebah as cendol dessert due to the similarities in appearance. Taste-wise, however, bubur anak lebah is often compared to bubur cha cha. Bubur anak lebah got its name because the main ingredient - rice flour - is shaped to form small lumps which resembles "little bees". The other basic ingredients required to prepare bubur anak lebah include coconut milk, lime, water, gula melaka, and pandan leaves. Traditionally, the bubur anak lebah is served during thanksgiving ceremonies held for the birth of a newborn child or other major celebratory occasions such as weddings.

8. Halwa maskat

Halwa maskat is one of Malaysia's tastiest treats that has been compared to Turkish delight, which originated from Persia.A specialty of Penang, it is basically a gelatinous sweet confection made from flour, ghee, and some fruits or nuts.The process of making halwa maskat requires a lot of patience and can be quite complicated to prepare, although it is said to get easier once you get the hang of it.

9. Linopot

Image via @paulina.ebby.henry/Instagram

Linopot, a term which means "wrapped tightly" in the Kadazan language, is a traditional Dusun meal. The mixture of rice with sweet potato, yam, or tapioca, is usually compacted and wrapped using Doringin or leaf from the tarap tree and served with other traditional side dishes. According to Malay Mail, linopot is only available at certain specialty restaurants, and selected Dusun areas in Sabah during festive occasions.
