Credit Card Users Warned To Check When Keying In PIN To Avoid Paying Unwanted Charges

A message warning Malaysians to be careful when using credit cards has been circulating on social media recently

The message reminded customers to be alert when keying in their personal identification number (PIN) at restaurants to avoid paying "extra charges".  A lot of people are alarmed because it has been made compulsory for everyone to key in their PIN for all card payment transactions that uses locally issued payment cards at POS (point of sales) terminals in Malaysia, starting 1 July 2017. Signature-only cards are no longer permitted to be used in the country.

According to the viral message, the incident happened at a restaurant after a customer asked for the bill and chose to pay using a credit card

It was said that the customer had apparently entered the PIN number without paying attention to the screen, which led to the person paying a hefty tip without even realising that he did. "The cashier said it didn't go through and told me to key-in the PIN number again. Turns out before the PIN number screen, there was a screen that asked how much you want for tip.""My PIN number became the amount to tip and I ended up paying double (the price) of what we ate," the customer said in the message.

Thankfully, the customer managed to get a refund in cash

"I don't think the cashier is at fault as this is the setting on the machine. Please be aware of this," added the customer. The message also stated that this feature of paying for tips can bypassed by pressing on a green button on the machine.

Apparently this happened to another individual previously. He almost forked out thousands of ringgit in tips.

The Star Online reported that a customer, Jonathan Looi, experienced the same thing at a restaurant when he entered his PIN number as the tipping amount. However, he managed to rectify the mistake before the transaction was completed. "I was lucky I realised this before pressing the enter button. I think the credit card machine was programmed that way but the restaurant staff should have informed me of the feature," Looi was quoted as saying."I feel people should be made aware of this as we tend not to pay attention to the machine," he added.

It is learned that new POS terminals in the country has this new feature that allows customers to add a tip

The Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) stated this on its FAQ page, "Most POS terminals at restaurants should display the amount that customers are paying and ask if they wish to add a tip or gratuity, before prompting for PIN. Customers should simply follow the display prompts."  Here's how it works: A terminal will prompt the customer to enter a tip amount. The customer has the option to skip this, if he or she chooses to not to leave a tip.  Customers who want to tip will need to enter the desired amount and proceed to the next step. The PIN entry screen will then show the total amount, including the tip, charged to the customer.

Violent Blizzard And Avalanche In Nepal Kill At Least 20 Trekkers With 143 Still Missing

A blizzard and avalanche in Nepal's Himalayas climbing region have killed at least 20 people, with more than 100 still missing, the New York Times reported

A blizzard and avalanche in Nepal’s Himalayas climbing region have killed at least 20 people, nearly half of them foreigners, in the midst of the October trekking season, district officials said Wednesday.

        nytimes.com

Rescuers said the death toll could rise as dozens of other foreigners and locals who had been trekking were out of contact due to poor communication links and could have been caught in blizzards.

        theguardian.com

An avalanche buried one Indian and four Canadian trekkers in Phu on Wednesday, said the chief administrator of Manang district. The snow buried the trekkers’ bodies and digging them out would take days, he said.

        theguardian.com

It was initially thought the group had been caught in an avalanche, but Baburam Bhandari, governor of Mustang, said the group perished in a blizzard

In neighbouring Mustang district, four trekkers caught in a blizzard died on Tuesday. Rescuers recovered the bodies of the two Poles, one Israeli and one Nepali from the Thorong La pass area. The pass is on a route that circles Mount Annapurna, the world’s 10th highest peak.

        theguardian.com

He added that emergency workers had rescued five German, five Polish and four Israeli trekkers who were trapped in the snowfall early on Wednesday. One German tourist fractured his leg, he said. They were taken to Jomson town by helicopter. Police said eight Nepalis had also been killed in Mustang, which is about 150 km (93 miles) northwest of the capital, Kathmandu.

        theguardian.com

The death toll eclipsed the last major mountaineering disaster in Nepal's Himalayas, when 16 Sherpa guides died in an avalanche some six months ago on Mount Everest, the worst climbing calamity in Everest's history

It is believed as many as 200 trekkers were caught in the blizzard starting Tuesday. According to experts, the intense weather was the aftermath of Cyclone Hudhud in eastern India.

It was believed that as many as 200 trekkers were caught by the latest weather, a freakish storm that began bearing down on the Annapurna region of the Himalayas on Tuesday, part of the aftermath of a cyclone that ravaged India’s eastern coast two days earlier.

        nytimes.com

Fearing the worst, friends and relatives of missing climbers reached out to each other through social media, and a Facebook page titled Annapurna Nepal Avalanche and Blizzard Info Share became a virtual bulletin board

Image via buzzfed.com

“Our hearts and minds are on Annapurna, Nepal,” read the caption on a photo of snow-capped Annapurna, the world’s 10th highest peak.

        nytimes.com

According to NYT, while 22 people were rescued on Wednesday, heavy accumulations of snow — more than two feet in some areas — forced the Nepali Army and the police to suspend further rescue actions until Thursday

The army, guided by rescued trekkers, recovered 12 bodies near Thorong La, a pass along a popular trekking circuit, according to the Mustang chief district officer, Baburam Bhandari. The dead included two Israeli tourists and two Poles, as well as eight Nepali trekkers who were trapped in a blizzard.

        nytimes.com

Basant B. Hamal, the secretary general of the Himalayan Rescue Association Nepal, a nonprofit group that promotes safe mountaineering, said there might have been up to 200 trekkers making their way Tuesday afternoon from the peak of Thorong La, which is at nearly 18,000 feet, to the Muktinath temple, at about 12,000 feet, when the storm hit.

        scmp.com

October is one of the most popular trekking months in Nepal, when thousands often visit because the weather is usually ideal for hiking

Mountaineering tourism is one of the most important economic drivers for Nepal. Travel and tourism supported more than half a million jobs in the country last year and generated $420 million in revenue, according to a report released in March by the London-based World Travel and Tourism Council.

        nytimes.com

It said Nepal received nearly 800,000 tourists last year and had been expected to attract more than 860,000 this year. The Nepali government receives $3 million to $4 million annually just in trekking licenses.

        bbc.com

But the April disaster on Everest, the world’s highest mountain, was disastrous for tourism, as it led to threats by Sherpas to stop working. Many expeditions were canceled and tourists forfeited tens of thousands of dollars, with many expressing uncertainty about the viability of future treks.

Several people recently took to social media claiming to have witnessed People's Volunteer Corps (RELA) personnel attacking migrants at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium vaccination centre (PPV)

The issue came to light after user @sassyRekha, whose real name is Sasi Rekha Ravi, posted a video on Twitter along with a caption that read, "It is so sad that foreigners [are] treated so badly at PPV Bukit Jalil."She explained to SAYS that the video attached in her tweet was from a relative who has requested to remain anonymous.Her relative noted, "I witnessed a RELA officer literally kicking and punching several foreigners and treating them like dogs at the Bukit Jalil PPV today (Thursday, 19 August). I didn't get to record that incident but managed to record one where the same officer almost kicked another person. At least three police officers were there but no one said anything."

In the clip, a RELA officer can be seen pushing and trying to kick a man who was merely walking while looking at his phone

The video has garnered over 588,700 views at the time of writing.Another netizen claimed that she was also present at the PPV during the incident and wrote, "Yes I was there yesterday and I can confirm this. 'You orang apa? Orang Bangla pergi sana' (What's your nationality? Bangladeshis go over there) was just tip of the iceberg. They were yelled at, berated, and disrespected."

Sasi's relative also noted that they were at the PPV to accompany a friend who was supposed to get vaccinated

However, upon seeing the queue and witnessing the way foreigners were being treated, the friend decided not to get jabbed.In the post, they also wrote, "These are foreigners who want to get vaccinated and are willing to wait for hours under the scorching hot sun just to receive their vaccination doses. The only walk-in PPV allocated for foreigners is the Bukit Jalil National Stadium PPV and due to this, the queue extends to several kilometres. The least they can do is treat them like humans."SAYS reached out to the Special Committee for Ensuring Access to COVID-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) for a statement but has yet to receive a reply.Read the full post here:

Kisah Viral Dua Beranak Terbiar, Anak Saudara Sedih Dan Tampil Ceritakan Hal Sebenar

Baru-baru ini satu video dan 2 keping gambar di laman Facebook menjadi viral apabila memaparkan dua warga emas tidak terurus, seakan-akan terbiar dijumpai di sebuah rumah usang di Batu Pahat, Johor

Video tersebut telah dimuat naik oleh page SAM Batu Pahat pada 3 Disember lalu dan sehingga kini telah mendapat sebanyak lebih 34 ribu shares di Facebook.

Image via SAM Batu Pahat/Facebook

Dalam video tersebut, kelihatan dua warga emas yang dipercayai anak beranak tinggal dalam serba kedaifan dan menyayat hati. Menurut sumber salah seorang (anak) daripada mereka adalah Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU).Rumah yang beralamat di T/L 96, Parit Makmor, Jalan Parit Karjo, Senggarang, Batu Pahat itu juga kelihatan sangat uzur dan kotor. Sewaktu video dirakam, si ibu kelihatan sedang duduk di atas lantai beralaskan surat khabar dikelilingi sampah sarap.

Asmah Hasim, 77.
Image via SAM Batu Pahat/Facebook

Orang ramai sungguh bersimpati dengan keadaan dua beranak tersebut serta kutipan sumbangan buat mereka juga telah dijalankan oleh pihak SAM Batu Pahat

Bantuan daripada orang ramai nampaknya sangat menggalakkan. Malah, ada di antara mereka yang berhasrat untuk membawa pulang kedua-dua beranak tersebut untuk dijaga.

Bagaimanapun, laporan Sinar Harian semalam memberitahu anak saudara kepada warga emas berkenaan rasa sedih dengan video viral tersebut

Menurut Norhasimah, 50 dia kecewa apabila ada sesetengah netizen sanggup melemparkan kata-kata negatif tanpa ada usul periksa terlebih dahulu sebelum memberikan komen di laman sosial.

Warga emas berkenaan diangkat untuk diletakkan di bawah jagaan JKM.

“Cukup kecewa saya apabila kisah makcik saya, Asmah Hasim, 77, ‘diviralkan’, dan lebih menyedihkan semua kisah berkenaan sama sekali tidak benar,” katanya.

        sinarharian.com.my

Menurutnya lagi, dia sanggup ke pekan Senggarang yang jauhnya hampir tujuh kilometer dari kampungnya, iaitu Kampung Parit Makmor untuk mendapatkan liputan internet kerana ingin membaca komen yang dilemparkan di media sosial.

Tambahnya, dia menangis semalaman kerana sepanjang 20 tahun dia menjaga ibu saudaranya, inilah kali pertama dia difitnah kerana mengabaikan ibu saudaranya yang dikatakan terbiar dan merempat

“Saya bukan sengaja membiarkan keadaannya begitu, ini kerana setiap kali saya mengemas kawasan berkenaan, ibu saudara saya ini akan menyepahkannya kembali,” katanya ketika ditemui Sinar Harian.

        sinarharian.com.my

Norhasimah memberitahu, sikap ibu saudaranya itu berubah selepas suaminya meninggal dunia, enam tahun lalu dan sejak itu dia menjaga kedua-duanya yang berada di sebelah rumahnya

Segala aktiviti kedua-dua beranak itu dipantau olehnya termasuklah makan dan minum. Namun, dia tidak boleh memberi perhatian sepenuhnya terhadap kedua-dua beranak tersebut kerana dia juga bekerja di sebuah kilang berhampiran pekan Batu Pahat.

"Oleh sebab itu saya terpaksa ulang alik dari tempat kerja ke rumah hampir setiap hari untuk menyediakan makanan," katanya yang turut mempunyai anak OKU perempuan berusia 14 tahun.

        sinarharian.com.my

Azizah Darmawan, 57.
Image via SAM Batu Pahat/Facebook

Norhasimah sekeras-kerasnya menafikan tuduhan orang ramai yang menyatakan bahawa ahli keluarga dan penduduk kampung mengabaikan penjagaan ibu saudara dan sepupunya kerana mereka berdua sudah berada di bawah jagaannya lebih 10 tahun.

"Jika sengaja dibangkitkan keadaan rumah yang kotor, percayalah sudah beratus kali saya kemas, namun ibu masih mahu tidur di tempat yang kotor. Memang senang untuk orang tuduh macam-macam, namun hanya tuhan saja yang tahu kisah sebenar," katanya.

        sinarharian.com.my

Walaupun masih terkesan dengan kata-kata kesan dilemparkan di laman sosial, namun Norhasimah tetap bersyukur sekurang-kurangnya isu pengabaian ibu saudara dan sepupunya dapat diselesaikan dengan tindakan pihak berkaitan

Dalam laporan Sinar Harian, pihak Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) pun sudah mengambil mereka dan segala keputusan akan dimaklumkan kepada keluarga dalam masa yang terdekat.Sementara itu, Pegawai JKM Batu Pahat, Khairu Asri Ismail berkata, pihaknya memang ada mengambil kedua-dua anak beranak itu, dan mereka akan ditempatkan di Rumah Sri Kenangan (RSK), Johor Bahru pada jam 1.30 petang.

It's Official! Nokia Will Be Returning In 2017 With Android Smartphones

Talk about coming back from the dead!
Fallen smartphone brand Nokia is poised to return early 2017 with new handsets, as predicted. After ditching Windows, the range will be based on Android.

Image via HMD Global

The new Nokias will be manufactured by Foxconn subsidiary FIH Mobile and sold by a Finnish company led by veteran Nokia executives called HMD Global. Nokia was previously owned by tech giant Microsoft who bought the Finnish brand for USD7.2 billion. The Nokia name was ditched and replaced with Microsoft Lumia. But it didn't do well, so Microsoft sold the rights to HMD Global.

Details are scarce at the moment but Nokia has confirmed the return on its website under the "Phone" section

Image via Nokia

The new section also shows a bunch of feature phones, but the new company promises that it "will enter the global smartphone market with the next generation of Nokia phones running Android" in 2017.

Nokia has experimented with Android before in the form of tablets

Image via Phone Arena

Unveiled in November 2014, the Nokia N1 is the company's first mobile device since the sale of its original mobile phone business to Microsoft earlier in the year. It was released in China on 2015.

For now, we'll have to wait to see if an Android-powered Nokia phone is able to compete with the likes Apple, Google, Samsung, and the many other Android phones on the market

What Does A Mercedes-Benz Car And A Chicken Have In Common? #RandomWednesday

WATCH: Mercedes-Benz's new TV commercial was EGGSactly what we needed for a good cluck

      Unsupported video platform

Why the chickens?

The reason is a quirk in the anatomy of chickens which means they can keep their heads still, even when their bodies are moving – the perfect analogy for a complex computer system which offsets the vehicle's movements for a smoother ride.

        marketingmagazine.co.uk

Why the chickens?
Image via businesslounge.co

This natural movement of a chicken to keep its head still is called "head tracking"

      Unsupported video platform

This well-known aviary mechanism is called head tracking, and Mercedes-Benz is using it to demonstrate how comfortable drivers will be in its cars.

        autonews.com

What's being illustrated here is a behavior known as the vestibulo-ocular reflex, which allows animals to isolate the movement of their eyes from the movement of their bodies, stabilizing their vision.

        cnet.com

In the case of the chicken, the reflex also isolates the movement of its entire head, allowing the birds to keep their skulls remarkably stationary even as their bodies are moved, lifted, and tilted about.

        cnet.com

The next time you call someone a "Chicken Brain", think twice

The chicken's body communicates its movements so well with her head, that she can almost instantaneously compensate for her movement of the lower body, and keep her head stationary in relation to her environment. To do this, her body has to have some fixed point, some center, and determine how far her bum has moved away it, then move her head an equal but opposite distance from it. Once again this requires very rapid communication, and then action, on the part of her body.

        physicscentral.com

This is also an interesting lesson in relativity. Her head is definitely not moving in relation to the background; we can clearly see that it remains at the same coordinates. But in relation to her own body, her head is moving. When her body is dropped down low, her neck stretches out, moving her head further away from her heart. When her body is lifted up, her neck shrinks down, moving her head closer to her heart. Her head moves an equal distance, but in the opposite direction, to the rest of her. She is compensating for the motion of her body, in order to keep the orientation of her head and her environment the same.

Tiada Siapa Tahu, Ini Kisah Kumpulan Koir Yang Nyanyikan Lagu 'Negaraku' Pada 31 Ogos 1957

Tahukah anda kisah di sebalik lagu ‘Negaraku’ dan kumpulan Koir Merdeka pertama kita?

Image via Twitter

Buat rakyat negeri Perak ataupun mereka yang pernah mendengar lagu negeri tersebut pasti perasan yang kedua-dua lagu itu mempunyai persamaan dari segi melodinya.

Memang benar lagu rasmi negeri Perak, 'Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan', telah dipilih menjadi lagu kebangsaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu oleh Jemaah Hakim yang pada ketika itu diketuai oleh Bapa Kemerdekaan kita iaitu YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj pada 5 Ogos 1957.

YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj

Bukan itu sahaja tetapi tune asli lagu kebangsaan kita serta lagu negeri Perak itu pula sebenarnya telah diambil daripada lagu keroncong bertajuk 'Terang Bulan', sebuah lagu yang cukup popular pada masa itu.

Ketika Tanah Melayu diisytiharkan merdeka pada tahun 1957, Tunku Abdul Rahman telah menugaskan penyelia Radio Malaya, Ahmad Merican untuk menubuhkan sebuah kumpulan Koir Merdeka

Ahmad Merican dan Tunku Abdul Rahman.

Ahmad Merican bersama sahabat baiknya, Tony Fonseka, yang merupakan seorang guru dan konduktor muzik, telah menggalas tugas bagi memimpin Koir Merdeka pertama untuk membuat persembahan sempena pengisytiharan kemerdekaan negara pada 31 Ogos 1957.

Adalah menjadi hasrat besar Tunku Abdul Rahman juga untuk melihat kumpulan koir itu terdiri daripada rakyat Malaya tanpa mengira bangsa, jantina, mahupun latar belakang, sebagai simbol perpaduan di dalam negara.

Meskipun tugasan itu mencabar buat mereka berdua, ditambah pula dengan tempoh masa yang agak singkat, namun Ahmad Merican serta Tony Fonseka tetap berjaya merealisasikan impian Tunku Abdul Rahman.

Kumpulan Koir Merdeka menyanyikan lagu Negaraku buat pertama kali di hadapan rakyat.

Maka, pada tanggal 31 Ogos 1957, kumpulan Koir Merdeka itu buat pertama kalinya telah menyanyikan lagu 'Negaraku' di depan khalayak rakyat berbilang kaum, sebaik sahaja laungan keramat 'Merdeka' dilafazkan oleh Bapa Kemerdekaan di Dataran Merdeka.

Sempena perayaan Hari Kemerdekaan tahun 2019, sejarah ini telah diadaptasikan semula melalui sebuah filem pendek bertajuk ‘Getaran Pertama’ oleh Celcom Axiata

Filem yang memaparkan perjalanan dalam pencarian pasukan koir pertama untuk menyanyikan lagu ‘Negaraku’ itu ternyata mampu menyemarakkan lagi rasa cinta pada negara di samping mengingatkan rakyat Malaysia bahawa perpaduan merupakan asas keharmonian.

Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan, Kumpulan Axiata Berhad, Tan Sri Jamaluddin Ibrahim berkata,

"Filem ciptaan Axiata dan Celcom mengenai Koir Merdeka 1957 telah melakar sejarah penting negara meskipun kurang dikenali ramai, kami berbangga untuk berkongsi kisah ini dengan rakyat Malaysia."

"No Allocations For The Opposition" – PN Shahidan Kassim Calls For Equality In Parliament

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

Arau member of parliament (MP) Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim has called for equal allocations among MPs, claiming that the opposition has yet to receive its allocations from the government

According a Facebook post, the Perikatan Nasional (PN) member claimed that all MPs have already received their allocations except for PN lawmakers in Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu."It is unreasonable that the government's finances was distributed unfairly. In accordance with Pakatan Harapan's (PH) manifesto, allocations should be equally distributed among MPs," Shahidan wrote.

Shahidan's statement was also believed to have been written in retaliation against Hulu Langat MP Mohd Sany Hamzan, who claimed that he was "fishing" for allocations

According to Astro Awani, Mohd Sany criticised Shahidan for making hasty judgments on the government's Budget 2023, where the Arau MP claimed that the government was "unfair" in denying the opposition their allocations."I would like to ask Shahidan, when did the government make a decision on the matter? It has only been more than a month since this government was formed and it has yet to make any decisions on the matter.""Therefore, I believe Shahidan's statement is only intended to fish for allocations and pressure the government to approve equal allocations for opposition MPs under the re-tabling of Budget 2023," said Mohd Sany.Shahidan did not take kindly to the Hulu Langat MP's statement and said that he only requires the clarification of the matter from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim."I don't need to hear an explanation from the Hulu Langat MP. This is because I feel he (Mohd Sany) is unqualified to issue an explanation. I only need clarification from the Prime Minister," the Arau MP wrote.The re-tabling of Budget 2023 will held on 24 February.

'Free Hotel' In Johor Provides Temporary Shelter For The Homeless, Even A Laundry Area

While we lull ourselves to sleep in our plush beds every night, thousands roam the cities making the streets their home

Image via The Star Online

With the alarmingly high, constantly increasing living costs in Malaysia, more people have been left with very little choice but to make the streets their home.Many are pushed aside and ostracised by loved ones, for some a sudden financial crisis befalls them, most end up homeless thanks to the lack of job opportunities and a lot more complicated reasons with each one painting their own sad realities.Most of us do what we can to lend them a helping hand, mostly by providing food, shelter and odd jobs.

In the midst of all this chaos, a bunch of amazing, thoughtful people decided to build Anjung Singgah for the homeless back in 2013

Anjung Singgah located at Jalan Segget, Johor Bahru
Image via Yayasan Kebajikan Negara

Established by the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry and run by the National Welfare Foundation Malaysia (NWFM), Anjung Singgah  is located at Jalan Segget in Johor Bahru. While it isn't a permanent solution for the homeless people, it gives them a decent place to sleep at night without having to worry about their safety and belongings.

The rules are simple; Malaysians with an identity card (IC) are allowed to stay for two weeks at a time

The bunk beds come with two tiered shelves for occupants to keep their belongings and should there be any valuables to be stored, then Anjung Singgah provides lockers.

The kind folks at Anjung Singgah will make sure all the occupants receive three free meals, a toiletries set that includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, a bar of soap and a sarong

NWFM's chief executive officer Datuk Sayed A. Rahman Sayed Mohd mentioned that this temporary home for the homeless would be open throughout the day and doors are closed from 11pm till 5am.Contrary to what most people would think, this center surprisingly not only takes in the homeless but also people that are looking for jobs in Johor Bahru and Singapore, as reported by The Star.Occupants are mostly people in their 40s and an average of 10 to 40 people have been staying at Anjung Singgah since they opened in June 2013.

NWFM not only provides shelter for these neglected people, but also finds relevant jobs according to their qualifications from employers registered with them

Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) Johor Baru chapter deputy chairman Velasamy S. Pillai said the body supplied volunteers who helped to manage the meals besides giving basic medical assistance around the clock,” he said.He said the centre, which could accommodate 95 people at a time, had a dormitory for men and women on separate floors.“There are also several family rooms for mothers with little children. There is also a dining area on the ground floor and lockers for people to keep their items,” he said, adding that they were also allocated a floor with desks and computers where occupants can work on their resumes to apply for jobs.

        thestar.com.my

However, due to their lack of expertise in dealing with alcoholics, drug users and anyone with diseases, Anjung Singgah does not take in such people at the moment

Sayed said they took in anyone as long as they were not alcoholics or those with diseases or addictions such as drugs.“We are unable to take such people in at this moment as you need expertise in dealing with such people. We also have to worry about the safety of the others staying here,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

People from all walks of life, coming to the city for greener pastures have benefited from this concept

Image via Yayasan Kebajikan Negara

For out-of-towners coming to the city searching for a better life, just a stroke of bad luck can leave them homeless.Resident Yusniza Jamal, 26, from Johor, said Anjung Singgah has made it possible for her to survive. “I came to Kuala Lumpur without a job and a place to stay in. I’m glad to have found out about Anjung Singgah from a friend.” She was able to stay in Anjung Singgah while looking for a job to support herself.“The longest you can stay here is two weeks, but the management of Anjung Singgah has been very understanding in my case,” she added.Another resident, Kamil Salleh, 63, also from Johor, has spent the last 10 months in Anjung Singgah. “I am lucky that the management of the centre is compassionate. If they had been strict, I would have been thrown out long ago,” he said.He has found it difficult to land a job because many employers do not want elderly people like him.

        currentbuzz.my

Anjung Singgah was first started in Kuala Lumpur back in 2011, followed by Kuching in October 2012

He added that their projects in Kuala Lumpur, which started in 2011, and in Kuching last year, have been successful.“We hope to duplicate this success in Johor Baru as we hope that this centre will help bring about hope to the homeless.

        thestar.com.my

Anjung Singgah in Kuala Lumpur is located at Jalan Hang Lekiu and provides basic facilities along with counselling rooms, medical examinations and interviews.The Kuching branch is located at Jalan Rubber and a major part of its occupants are people looking for jobs in Kuching city.

"We Are Not Racist At All" And Other Highlights From Najib's Interview On CNN

WATCH: Najib's exclusive interview on CNN with Christian Amanpour

      Unsupported video platform

Amanpour, "How bad was it that President Obama had to cancel his trip to Malaysia?"

“It was a missed opportunity for Obama to assert his leadership, particularly in the context of his policy pivot towards Asia,” Najib told Amanpour in London. “I know he regrets it.” “When he called me he said, ‘By hook or by crook, I will visit Malaysia next year. So we’re looking forward to receiving him.”

        cnn.com

When asked about the turmoil happening in the Muslim world, Najib answered with the word "moderation"

“It’s very alarming to see what’s happening in the Muslim world. And it’s about time we come to our senses and realize that moderation is the only path that will ensure peace and stability for the Muslim world, and for the wider world.”

        cnn.com

Najib drew attention last month when, at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, he said that the greatest threat to Muslims now “comes not from the outside world, but from within.”

        asianews.co

When asked about the turmoil happening in the Muslim world, Najib answered with the word "moderation"

Citing the 'Allah' and Ke$ha ban resulting from religious conservatism and extremism, Amanpour questioned about moderation in Malaysia

“My priority is to ensure peace and harmony in Malaysia. That is uppermost in my mind,” Dato' Seri Najib said.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

She asked, "Frankly, how difficult is it to walk that line of moderation amidst pressures from conservatives and opposition?"

"It's all about having a long-term vision for the country and we are committed to that," he said. However, to achieve the country's long-term goals, Najib said there would be "some growing pains along the way". "And if you want long-term stability, you must make sure that the majority of the people are not marginalised."

        nst.com.my

"Having said that, we do cater as well, in a very inclusive way, for minorities. For example, in my budget speech, I addressed the concerns of Indian Malaysians. We are not racist at all."

On the brain drain, Najib acknowledged it and said: “This is what we are doing right now; we are attempting to keep our best talent at home by providing more opportunities and creating high-paying jobs.

        intellasia.net

“In a recent World Bank survey on the ease of doing business, Malaysia rose to 6th in the global rankings from 12th.”
Najib said the improvement in rankings spoke volumes for the reforms being carried out in Malaysia.

The interview gets tough as Amanpour directed the question to allegations of fraud in GE13

“By and large the allegations are totally unfounded,” he protested. “For example, they allege that we brought in 40,000 people from Bangladesh to vote in the last election. And since the last election they’ve not been able to produce any evidence of that.”

Najib was quick to defend that there are no worries when it comes to questions of human rights violation

Najib said that he had a “very positive record,” having “disbanded the Internal Security Act, which is detention without trial.” He also points to the fact that he disbanded the Emergency Ordinance and allowed for peaceful assembly in Malaysia.

Najib ended the interview with confidence in the mandate he received from the party and the people, as it allows him to make the reforms needed to make Malaysia an advanced economy by 2020

"I believe we will achieve our goals. In every country, there will be people representing the whole breadth of the political spectrum," he said, citing the conservative Tea Party movement wreaking havoc on the political process in the United States.

"But, fortunately, we don't have to go to that extent in Malaysia. We have people who are more conservative in their views and some who are more concerned about the ethnic balance in Malaysia."

18-Year-Old Suffers Permanent Lung Damage After Vaping For Two Years

An 18-year-old has been left with permanent lung damage after being hospitalised for an unknown respiratory sickness due to vaping

Adam Hergenreder from Illinois, US, is one of 27 patients who were recently hospitalised for severe respiratory illness.CNN reported that seven people recently died from vaping-related illnesses in the US. The first death took place last month in August.

Adam felt unwell last month but had assumed that it was just a stomach flu

For three days, he shivered uncontrollably and vomited, before his mother took him to a hospital where he was placed under intensive care.Despite taking nausea medication, Adam continued to vomit.

It was not until doctors carried out a CT scan of his stomach and X-ray that Adam's lungs revealed the true damage

The X-ray showed that the 18-year-old's lungs were so damaged that it looked like the "lungs of a 70-year-old".According to News.com.au, doctors said that if his mother had not brought him in within the next two or three days, Adam could have died."It was severe lung disease, especially for a young person. He was short of breath, he was breathing heavily," said Dr Stephen Amesbury, according to the report."It was very concerning that he would have significant lung damage and possibly some residual changes after he heals from this."

At 16, Adam had started buying nicotine vapes from convenience stores.
However, last year, he began to use THC-filled devices, often altered and sold illegally.

Tetrahydrocannabino (THC) is the main psychoactive compound found in marijuana, which causes that 'high' feeling.Mango and mint were Adam's favourite flavours. Despite public warnings on e-cigarettes, he continued to vape up to one and a half pods a day.His mother had warned him of these vape devices and would often throw it out when she saw them in the house.

Adam took up vaping nearly two years ago.

"We don't yet know the exact cause of these illnesses — whether they're caused by contaminants, ingredients in the liquid or something else, such as the device itself," said Ann Thomas, M.D., public health physician at Oregan Health Authority's Public Health Division.

After his experience, Adam is now warning others of the dangers of vaping

"People just see that little (vape) pod and think, how could that do anything to my body?" he said, according to The Sun UK.

			I'm glad I could be an example and show people that (vaping products) aren't good at all. They will mess up your lungs.

Earlier this month, the Health Ministry of Malaysia announced that it will table a new bill on the usage of tobacco, vape, electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), and shisha

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

Minister of Health Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad revealed that the new Act will include tobacco and several other nicotine-related issues found in vape or e-cigarettes.The Bill will be tabled in Parliament by the March 2020 sitting.


"We Were Called Pigs" - SEA Games Performer Says Dancers Were Ill-Treated During Training

In a shocking turn of events, some of the people who performed during the SEA Games opening ceremony revealed that they were verbally abused when they were training

Free Malaysia Today (FMT) spoke to two of the performers who were involved with the 2017 SEA Games and one of them claimed that they were ill treated by the company that the organisers hired to be in charge of the performances. "They promised to give us a higher payment but to date, there has been no word from them. The person in charge left the WhatsApp group. It is because we keep asking for our money," explained Nur Aien Md Sahar, one of the dancers who performed during the opening ceremony of SEA Games 2017.

"We were also called harsh names, such as 'pigs', when we were training for the performances."

"Apart from that, we had to fork out our own money for transport, food, and uniforms but we did not mind as they had promised to pay us more. But they did not," added the Form Five student, who's a part-time dancer, to FMT. She said that the company still owes some of them who performed for the opening ceremony RM500 and stressed that it could be more for those who also performed at the closing ceremony. Other than her, Aien said that other performers including students, silat exponents, traditional dancers, and the Orang Asli performers too have yet to receive their payments.

Meanwhile, another performer that FMT spoke to said that he was treated badly when he asked about the payment for his performances

The KL SEA Games closing ceremony was held on 30 August.

"We (the dancers) were treated badly whenever the payment issue was brought up. They owe us around RM1,000 per dancer but they have remained silent. "During rehearsals, some of the us were asked to go get our own uniforms," said the man, who wished to remain anonymous. While explaining that he is no longer in touch with the company in charge of the payments, the performer did, however, say that he is really hoping the payments would be settled soon. He had apparently performed during both the opening and closing ceremonies.

Just earlier today, the Malaysian Organising Committee (MASOC) said that it will try to resolve all payment issues by the end of the month.
The issue first came to light after singer-actress Adibah Noor posted a tweet about it on Sunday, 29 October:

                MASOC hopes to settle all payments for artistes who performed during SEA Games in a month

The 2017 SEA Games closing ceremony was held on 30 August 2017.

12 MRT Girders Fell From A 51-Tonne Lorry Causing Massive Traffic Jam In Cheras

Twelve pieces of concrete tunnel lining segments for the MRT project fell from a 51-tonne lorry near Taman Billion along Jalan Cheras. The accident happened at approximately 11am on Sunday.

The incident happened when the trailer was forced to make an emergency break as the traffic ahead of it suddenly stopped. A huge traffic jam was caused near the Billion Roundabout flyover.

Image via @MyOndscene via Twitter

According to police sources, the incident happened at 11.30am at Batu 5 ½, Jalan Cheras. The 12 girders fell when a trailer carrying 16 MRT segmented concrete girders for the Pudu underground MRT project toppled after the trailer driver hit the emergency brake due to a sudden stop in traffic.

        thestar.com.my

Out of the 12 concrete girders that fell, 10 were two-ton girders, while the other two were one-ton girders. Traffic remained backed-up despite works to move the girders ending at 1.15pm.

Image via @MyOndscene via Twitter

According to a statement issued by MRT Corp, the lorry swerved a little but could not avoid hitting the vehicle in front. According to Star Radio Traffic tweet, traffic remained congested at 2.02pm even though the 12 fallen girders had been cleared up.

        astroawani.com

In a statement, MRT Corp said the company will be investigating the matter and action will be taken on those responsible, The Star reported. No casualties were reported in the incident.

From Tampin To Turkiye: Father & Son Drive Perodua Kelisa Across 20 Countries In 7 Months

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

In a road trip of their lifetimes, a father and son from Tampin, Negeri Sembilan left their home to travel the world — through rain, snow, mountains, and dirt roads — in their trusty ol' 2004 Perodua Kelisa

Documenting their journey on Facebook and TikTok, Nursulhi Rahim, better known online as Aimpro Samudra, said he is grateful that he and his son, Muhammad Aidil, have been able to travel far and wide in their humble vehicle, nicknamed Wheely."From Malaysia to Thailand, Myanmar, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkiye, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, and many more countries, Wheely has been our luxury residence and camping spot," wrote the adventurer on Facebook recently.According to Google Maps, the pair would have easily driven a total of 20,000km in what was the first phase of their trip.

Speaking to SAYS, Nursulhi said their epic road trip had to come to a temporary halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic

The 45-year-old father shared that he and his eldest son, 17-year-old Muhammad Aidil, started their journey way back in November 2019, and were forced to come home one week before Malaysia went under lockdown in March 2020."At the time, we were on our return leg back in Turkiye, so we stopped there, parked our car, and flew back to Malaysia," he said.

When asked the reason why they set off on the journey in the first place, the father-of four said that it was actually his dream to travel the world in his old car

"We only made simple preparations for the trip and we have no sponsors, the trip is self-funded," the electrician-by-day first clarified."We are just orang kampung who want to see the world. I think of myself as a traveller, and sometimes you have to be crazy to do crazy things, so we did it. At the same time, I wanted my oldest son to experience the world.""Aidil is not the best in school, so I wanted to broaden his mind and show him that our lives are more than just academic achievements, and that we must never give up."Nursulhi added that he wanted to prove that anyone could travel, at any age, and with any type of car.

The avid traveller said the best part of their journey was being able to witness the polar lights, or auroras, in Sweden

However, with the good, also came the challenges of driving for hours on end and sleeping in a car with no heater."We have been stuck many times, once for six hours because of a snowstorm at the Julier Pass in Switzerland until the authorities reopened the road. And in another incident, we slid off a slippery road and had to wait for help in the middle of a forest for almost 12 hours in -35°C with the engine running," he recounted.

Image via Family Camping Malaysia (Facebook)

Their journey resumed in September this year, with the goal of driving Wheely, who has been parked in Bayramiç, Turkiye, for almost three years, back to Malaysia

However, luck and the weather has not been on their side."We were stuck with a gearbox problem when we went to pick up the car in Turkiye," Nursulhi explained, adding that they also had to battle the extreme cold while fixing the car with their limited skills."After that was done, we drove to Iran, where we decided to visit the border of China via one of the highest paved roads in the world, Karakoram Highway."

Image via Family Camping Malaysia (Facebook)

However, at 50km before the Khunjerab Pass, they were asked to turn around due to bad weather and dangerous road conditions

Nursulhi said the adventure has come to a stop again, and they parked Wheely at a friend's home in Lahore, Pakistan, to fly back to Malaysia to fulfil their responsibilities and vote in the 15th General Election.The father and son plan to continue their journey in the near future and bring Wheely back home.

Data Firm Used By Trump's Election Campaign Admits To Working In M'sia & Other Countries

Yesterday, 19 March, UK-based Channel 4 News uploaded a video of their undercover investigation on Cambridge Analytica, a political data firm well-known for crediting itself with US president Donald Trump's 2016 election win

A webpage filled with details of how Cambridge Analytica helped President Donald Trump win the 2016 US election.

According to Channel 4, one of their reporters posed as a fixer for a wealthy client in Sri Lanka hoping to get some candidates elected. The reporter met with Cambridge Analytica's chief executive Alexander Nix, managing director Mark Turnbull, and chief data officer Dr. Alex Tayler in a series of meetings at hotels in London between November 2017 and January 2018.

In the exposé, the data firm said they have worked in elections worldwide

Image via Channel 4 News/YouTube

The Channel 4 video came days after New York Times and The Observer revealed that Cambridge Analytica exploited data from more than 50 million Facebook profiles to predict the behaviour of American voters.However, Channel 4's video highlighted the company's work outside the US instead. According to a Channel 4 report, Nix admitted that the data firm has secretly campaigned in elections around the world. Furthermore, the executives also said in the video they could send Ukrainian women to seduce a rival candidate, pose as a wealthy land developer to bribe a candidate, and influence voters with propaganda.According to Cambridge Analytica's website, it has offices in New York, Washington, London, Sao Paulo, and Malaysia's Kota Damansara.

Image via Indeed

New York Times also reported that London-based Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL), the parent company of Cambridge Analytica, has "clients around the world". SCL has provided data, analytics, and strategy to governments and military organisations worldwide for 25 years.

At one of the meetings, Turnbull and Tayler admitted that Cambridge Analytica is able to  "segment the population to give them messaging about issues that they care about" in a few countries, including Malaysia

Image via Channel 4 News/YouTube

About five minutes into the video, Tayler explained that Cambridge Analytica collects data of people in order to give them messages, language, and imagery that they care about and are likely to engage with."We use that in America, and we use that in Africa, that's what we do as a company," Tayler said in the video."We've done it in Mexico, we've done it in Malaysia, we're now moving into Brazil," Turnbull added, before mentioning Australia and China as well. Back in 2016, Nix spoke to a summit in New York about how Cambridge Analytica campaigned for US Senator Ted Cruz in the 2016 presidential election.

Turnbull's claim that the firm has "done it in Malaysia" is not unfounded according to its website, where the firm detailed how it contributed to BN's Kedah victory in Malaysia's 13th general election (GE13)

The firm supported BN with a targeted campaign highlighting Kedah's school improvements since 2008.As a result, BN won Kedah in GE13 by taking 21 out of 36 state seats, and 10 out of the 15 parliamentary seats.

However, in March 2017, Malay Mail Online reported that SCL denied doing election work in Malaysia

Azrin Zizal, who was reported by Sarawak Report as a former BN political adviser, told Malay Mail Online that the SCL branch under him has not done any election work in the country. The branch's address listed on the SCL website is the same as the one provided on Cambridge Analytica's website.Previously, Azrin told The Star that based on a person's choice of sofas, SCL can perceive the person's attitudinal stand and therefore react to a certain message construct.

On 18 March, The Malaysian Insight also visited the 'firm's branch' in Kota Damansara, which was in a gated neighbourhood

Property owner of the address listed on the firm's website told The Malaysian Insight that he has been living there for four years and was not aware that his address was listed on Cambridge Analytica's website. He also confirmed that the office does not exist in the address.

In light of the claims made in Channel 4's video, deputy chairman of strategy and policy of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) Wan Saiful Wan Jan is questioning the role of Cambridge Analytica in GE13

Channel NewsAsia reported that Wan Saiful called on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to "explain if he used Cambridge Analytica to manipulate voters" in GE13.

Muhyiddin said he has not heard of Cambridge Analytica prior to recent claims that it had influenced GE13.
Image via Malay Mail Online

Furthermore, Malay Mail Online reported that former Deputy Prime Minister and current president of PPBM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin denied having knowledge of BN working with Cambridge Analytica in the last general elections. Muhyiddin was BN's election director for GE13. "This is the first time I'm hearing of them. I have no knowledge," he said.

JAKIM Tells Muslims To Respect The Use Of Animal Symbols In The Chinese Zodiac

Yesterday, Director General of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) Tan Sri Othman Mustapha called for respect towards the use of animal symbols and images during CNY

Although animal symbols are used during Chinese New Year, Othman said that all parties need to respect this practice in order to maintain racial harmony according to the concept of co-existence (fiqh taa'yush).

Othman stressed that respecting the CNY practice is in line with the government's policy of a moderate approach

According to a report by Free Malaysia Today, Othman said that the practice should not be made into an issue in accordance with the government's moderate (wasatiyyah) approach. "Even though the lunar new year uses animals as a form of symbolism, it is something that needs to be respected for the sake of racial harmony," he added.

The Straits Times reported that Othman's comments came following the incident last month where festive T-shirts sold at Giant Hypermarket only had 10 out of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs printed on them

Image via Mothership

According to the report, the dog and the pig were missing from the T-shirts, and were replaced with Chinese characters “戌” (xū, dog) and “亥” (hài, pig).It was also reported that some businesses and shopping malls were holding back on using dog images in their Chinese New Year decorations.According to the Chinese zodiac, this year is the Year of the Dog.

Following Othman's statement, netizens began discussing it on Twitter

Some Twitter users expressed surprise and questioned if the society's tolerance is so low that a statement from JAKIM was needed to address this issue. Others perceived the statement as necessary due to allegedly evident scale-backs of CNY decorations this year.

Ramai macam terkejut Jakim kena keluar statement pasal gambar anjing. Inilah terjadi apabila bergenerasi ditanam kepercayaan agama tak boleh pakai logik.— Effi Saharudin  (@1Obefiend) February 7, 2018

These Thai Students Invented An Award-Winning Board Game To Tackle Teen Pregnancy

A group of secondary school students from Thailand have invented a board game called 'Fortune Condom' to teach their peers the dangers of teenaged pregnancies

The five-member from St Mary's School in Udon Thani province, Thailand created the board game in response to troubling social media posts that had praised teenagers who got pregnant prematurely, reported The Nation.

"We wanted to deter teen pregnancies by clarifying the difficulties that arise when you get pregnant before you're really ready," one of the young inventors, Pakawadee Panil, told The Nation.Players are given cards with actions such as "contraception" or "counselling" which are to be played based on the situation.

Choosing the "right card" boosts life-experience points, but the "wrong card" leaves the player pregnant and facing various challenges."Talking about sex can be difficult, but this game makes it easier to discuss," Pakawadee said.

The inventors' peers have found the game useful and a teacher even uses the board game in his sexual education classes

The teacher, Jutti Jantana, is also an adviser to the team. He said the students started developing the game in August 2017."I must admit it was quite difficult to discuss sex openly with the girls. In fact there were some words I didn't want to use at all at first, but I had to because the team needed information to create a game that would be useful," Jutti told The Nation.

By using 'Fortune Condom' in his sex-ed classes, he has noticed that other students are feeling inspired to develop their own games."I really hope this game reaches a wider audience so that more people get educated about the risks and impacts of teen pregnancy," he added.

Absolutely inspiring!
