How Malaysians Responded When They Found Out That Bijan Is A Legit 'Atas' Brand

"Bijan", a term, while relatively unheard of has seemingly piqued the interest of Malaysians in the last 24 hours or so

Image via Haute Living

Perhaps it's not unexpected given that Bukit Aman Director of Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Datuk Seri Amar Singh Ishar Singh made a mention of an expensive custom-made handbag from The House of Bijan as one of the items seized in raids linked to Datuk Seri Najib Razak earlier yesterday, 27 June.The Star Online reported today, 28 June, that the top search on Google Malaysia yesterday was the word 'Bijan'.It's safe to say that many Malaysians are unfamiliar with the ultra luxurious brand.

Even a reporter asked Amar Singh during the press conference yesterday to spell out 'Bijan', just to be sure

Everyone starts laughing when one of the interviewer asked how to spell Bijan  YALL I KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH—  (@jiminika) June 27, 2018

As news about Bijan bags broke out, netizens took to Twitter to talk about their new discovery:

1. All they knew before this was that bijan didn't cost a bomb

One person’s kitchen ingredient, another person’s custom made luxury handbag.#bijan pic.twitter.com/4PhtBNUpD9— Liyin Yeo (@liyin_yeo) June 27, 2018

Bijan means sesame in Malay.

2. Some might also recall that there's a popular restaurant in Jalan Ceylon, Kuala Lumpur that is called 'Bijan'

My friend owns Bijan, a fine dining Malay restaurant. This is their reply to the Najib fiasco.  pic.twitter.com/AqjcYkCn7R— Victor Liew (@victorliew) June 27, 2018

3. This person has got a point

Before handbags, these were the only #Bijan Malaysians used to rave about  pic.twitter.com/RyrHdZjvTa— yenmun (@ymwrites) June 27, 2018

4. Many had an epiphany when they realised that Najib = Bijan

Bijan?Apa tu?Brand Najib spelt backwards haha?Okay, I honestly did not expect Rosmah to actually own something from Bijan, but then again, she is Rosmah Anything that exudes luxury, she'd definitely try to own it.So let's talk about Bijan now shall we?— eL (@eLmiE_92) June 27, 2018

Bijan and Najib are trending, and the best bit, both elements are connected.Priceless.— Khabir (@KhabirM) June 27, 2018

5. Unsurprisingly, some netizens have been using 'Bijan' in reference to Najib for years...

6. ... however, clearly, it was more than just a troll name

You know you are poor when all this while you thought Bijan is a joke made up brand.— Effi Saharudin  (@1Obefiend) June 27, 2018

7. One particular netizen got creative and put up his own "Bijan handbag" for sale

Handbag BIJAN. Any one interested? pic.twitter.com/I7DWUi7Akz— anas.rosli (@anasrosli19) June 27, 2018

8. Truthfully, we didn't know that Bijan is a luxurious brand either

These Rendang Condoms Are Sure To Spice Up Your Life

Hello there, feeling ~hungry~?

Image via Giphy

In yet another food-inspired creation from the company that brought you durian, nasi lemak, and teh tarik condoms, behold... the all-new Super Sensitive Perisa Rendang Condom

Image via SAYS

This marks the fourth variety in ONE Condoms' Malaysian series.

Soft, tender, and definitely not crispy, ONE Condoms was inspired by the crispy chicken rendang hoo-ha from last year

Image via SAYS

The condom is said to emulate the mix of ingredients and spices that go into a rendang dish. Think grated coconuts, lemongrass, turmeric, kaffir leaves, and galangal. ;)

So, does it actually smell like rendang? We asked some of our colleagues to take a sniff or two, and here's what they thought:

         View this post on Instagram           Rendang condom smell test. We tasted it too but off camera la haram woi. #ONECondoms #rendang #notcrispy #research A post shared by  Samantha Khor (@samlikesunicorns) on Aug 18, 2019 at 10:00pm PDT

VERDICT: The rendang condom was unwrapped to mixed reviews - some of us think it smells predominantly of coconut, while a select few could detect a hint of lemongrass and spices. Also, we tasted it - for research! - but it doesn't taste like anything.

If you're hoping to spice things up in the bedroom for a special occasion, the Perisa Rendang Condom can be purchased online here

Image via SAYS

You can also find them at Guardian, Watsons, AEON Wellness, MyNews, Family Mart, and 7-Eleven stores nationwide.

Check out the other varieties in ONE Condoms' delish Malaysian series:

[VIDEO] S'porean Woman Arrested After Refusing To Wear A Mask Because She's A "Sovereign"

A woman caught on camera arguing with others for not wearing a mask in Shunfu Market in Singapore has been arrested for causing a public nuisance

According to The Straits Times, the Singapore Police Force arrested the 40-year-old Singaporean woman at 9.10pm on Monday, 4 May, after videos of the wet market altercation went viral on Sunday afternoon.The police force said that she had caused a public nuisance, assaulted a member of the public, and did not wear a mask."The police will not tolerate such blatant disregard of the law and wilful breaches of safe distancing measures," they wrote in a statement, "Let us all do our part to curb the spread of COVID-19."The woman will be charged in court today, 5 May.

Image via TODAY

In one of the video clips of the heated argument, the woman was holding her arm up to cover her face while talking back to people who were trying to explain COVID-19 measures to her

In the video, she is also seen not letting go of a handphone held by another woman, whom she allegedly attacked, while arguing with the group of people.They asked the reason why she was not following the law, to which she said, "I am a sovereign... It means I have nothing to do with the police, it means I have no contract with the police. They have no say over me.""That doesn't even make any sense," a man from behind the camera responded, "If you're a person in Singapore, you have to follow the rules of Singapore.""That's the thing - I'm not a person, I'm 'we the people'," she replied.In another video, at a different location at the same market, she is seen saying, "The law is you can't tell people what to do," after a woman angrily reprimands her for pointing the middle finger at her."You should have minded your own business. In the first place, you should not have shouted at me," said the accused.

Image via Umesh Kishore Tekani/Facebook

This is not the woman's first run-in with the law

In one of the same videos, she brags that she had previously been approached by the police at the same market but was let off without a warning or fine.However, CNA reported that officers from the National Environmental Agency (NEA) had issued the woman a fine of SGD300 (RM915) on 15 April for breaching the one-metre safe distancing rule while purchasing food at the hawker centre of Shunfu Market.On that day, she had also challenged the NEA ambassadors by proceeding to sit at the dining area of the cooked food section to eat the food she bought, which was in direct violation of the nation's no dining in measures to curb the virus.Police were called but she began to take videos of their encounter and remained uncooperative.

Image via STOMP

Singapore Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam has since checked what the woman might have meant by referring to herself as "sovereign"

"There is a movement in the US, and adherents to that movement, (broadly speaking) reject government, reject the police, and any kind of authority," he wrote in a Facebook post yesterday, 4 May, according to TODAY.He then said that those who do not want to obey the rules of the society that they live in should not expect any benefits from that system of governance."If she doesn't follow the rules and (say) ends up infecting someone - why should society accept that? Or if she falls ill herself, she will be imposing a medical burden on the rest of the society - whose rules she rejects, presumably.""Very odd. Usually, in such cases, there will be more to it than meets the eye," he added.

Experiencing A Flooded House? Malaysians Share How To Clean And What Tools Are Needed

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

Malaysians have been sharing what items are needed to help those affected by the recent flood devastation

In a Twitter thread that has gone viral, @magmalaya asked the public to share the things needed during this time and how we can help each other.

If you're experiencing a flooded house or want to lend a helping hand to those affected, here are some suggested items to have or donate to others:

			1. Wheelbarrows and shovels2. Water jets3. Tanks for the waterjets4. Heavy-duty plastic bags 5. Gloves6. Generators7. Squeegees8. Brushes9. Dippers 10. Buckets11. Mops12. Floor detergents and/or any other cleaning agents13. Slippers / spare clothes to donate to those who have lost their belongings 14. Extension plugs for generators

Manpower is also critical in an emergency like this. Here's a list of organisations and initiatives that are helping flood victims.If you own a pickup truck or a lorry, even better as some areas may be severely affected and the regular car may not be able to enter.Others shared that you can prepare meals or donate food and items, such as biscuits, bread, water / boxed drinks, and paper utensils. Be prepared for scenarios where there is no water or electricity.

Several Malaysians have since offered tips on how to clean a flooded house

Digital content creator Khairul Amin tweeted a list of things to do and to avoid when cleaning."1. Start with the bedroom. Cleaning efforts might take weeks, you'll need a proper place to rest.2. Do not turn on any electrical appliances that were affected by the floodwaters, even if they're all dried up.3. Prioritise washing fabrics and carpets.4. Put mattresses outside of the house, don't burn them because the smoke will be horrible5. Clean the drains so water can flow.6. If you're repainting, use oil-based paint. If another flood occurs, you won't see the 'water stains'.7. Dried mud and a foul stench will take weeks to naturally clear off or flush away with rainwater.8. Let the experts handle any affected cars, motorcycles, etc. Don't do it yourself."

Image via @_syazwanrahman (Twitter)

Twitter user @changing_shade suggests opening up and cleaning certain electronic goods with distilled water and drying them in the sun for four to five days.

Another Twitter user, Faisal Rahim, shares his previous experience dealing with floods.
He advises to only return to clean the house once the water level reaches the calves.

He adds to start by removing all carpets and rugs and placing them outside of the house. Then, remove furniture like mattresses and other items that have absorbed water or are affected by the floodwaters.

Image via @acaiijawe (Twitter)

When the water level reaches the ankles, return to clean the mud and dirt (if any) from the walls and floors. "If you return when the waters have completely dried up, there may be mud on the walls and floors. So you will need a lot of water to clean them all up."

TIPS penting pasca-banjir.• Balik rumah ketika air banjir masih paras betis untuk cuci rumah.• Sebab mudah nak cuci dinding, tarik karpet dan tikar getah untuk letak kat luar rumah.• Mudah nak keluarkan perabot, tilam dll yang rosak dan kembang. pic.twitter.com/lC1ScOdQR5— Faisal Rahim (@acaiijawe) December 20, 2021

"Sebagai Seorang Ayah, Saya Rasa Patut Malu Jika Anak-Anak Kita Tengok Nyanyian Sebegini"

Baru-baru ini, Datuk Aliff Syukri telah mengeluarkan satu lagu baru yang bertajuk "Abang Nak Tegur" bergandingan dengan jutawan kosmetik terkenal iaitu Nur Sajat

Official lyric video lagu itu telah dimuatnaik di YouTube pada 23 November lalu dan sehingga kini telah mendapat lebih 700 ribu tontonan. Kami sendiri pun tidak tahu yang Datuk Aliff Syukri dan Nur Sajat boleh menyanyi. Tetapi apa yang kita semua tahu, selepas viralnya lagu "I Am Me" nyanyian Dato' Seri Vida, kini giliran dua usahawan ternama ini pula untuk mencuba nasib. Tetapi sedikit berbeza dengan lagu "I Am Me", nampaknya lagu ini tidak dapat menarik hati orang ramai. Daripada lebih 700 ribu tontonan, video lagu ini telah mendapat lebih 72 ribu dislike di YouTube. Kami pun pelik. Kenapa ramai tak suka?

Image via YouTube

Malah soalan itu juga dikemukakan beliau di akaun Instagram miliknya semalam.

    abg nak tegur?? kenapa org tekan button unlike kat youtube lirik vedio saya?? A post shared by Ohabangkosmetik (@aliffsyukriterlajaklaris) on Nov 29, 2017 at 3:16am PST

Bila kami menyusuri ke ruangan kami, kami dapati ramai netizen memberikan komen yang negatif terhadap lagu tersebut

Entah tidak tahu kenapa, tetapi ramai beranggapan, Nur Sajat menjadi perosak lagu tersebut.

Image via YouTube

Image via YouTube

Malah ada juga yang berkata, mereka membuka video itu di YouTube, semata-mata untuk tekan butang dislike. Amboi sampai macam tu sekali?

Image via YouTube

Dalam pada itu, seorang pengguna Facebook, Syahr Musafir turut meluahkan rasa kesalnya terhadap lagu tersebut. Katanya, lagu itu mempunyai unsur lucah yang jelas.
Baca luahan beliau di bawah:

Image via Syahr Musafir

Abang Nak Tegur...Saya dimaklumkan, Datuk Aliff Syukri juga turut menyanyi sekarang ini. Feature dengan Nur Sajat. Tak tahulah sebab nak 'lawan' Dato' Seri Vida, atau memang cita-cita nak jadi penyanyi sejak kecil, atau strategi bisnes, atau apa...Mari sini Abang Nak Tegur... #SuratTerbukaBuatDatukAliffSyukri#TerlajakLaris1) Muzik saya tak reti, tetapi cara nyanyian menyakitkan telinga. Not soothing at all. Honestly "I Am Me" is better. Lirik sangat over, ada unsur lucah yang jelas dan berpotensi mempengaruhi anak-anak muda dan ditambah dengan cara nyanyian suara yang sengaja dibuat-buat menggoda. Not good at all.2) Adakah ini mencari publisiti atau populariti? Datuk Aliff sudah cukup popular. Saya nasihatkan tak perlulah mencari populariti sebegini, ia merosakkan reputasi Datuk Aliff. Daripada orang hormat, jadi benci pula.3) Video yang di-release 23 Nov 2017 ini trending, tetapi dengan 69ribu dislikes berbanding 8ribu likes. Pertama kali masyarakat Malaysia 'berganding bahu' menge-dislike satu video secara beramai-ramai. Buat apa viral atau trending disebabkan negativiti, orang dislike, mesej negatif? Buat apa? Fikir-fikirkanlah...4) Dengan imej isteri bertudung, Datuk Aliff pun dilihat islamik dalam membesarkan anak-anak, pemilihan konsep lagu separa-seksual, ingatkan nak tegur pasal jaga diri daripada salah langkah dalam bercinta tetapi sebaliknya seolah-olah menyuruh bercinta gaya negatif, tak perlu jaga pergaulan, belai-belai hingga terasa segala bagai, ayang kita ohsem berdua-duaan, saya fikir menggalakkan masyarakat, terutamanya anak-anak muda berdua-duaan secara sumbang mahram dan sebagainya, adalah terlalu buruk untuk dipamerkan oleh Datuk Aliff yang berimej sebegini.

Nur Sajat.
Image via Suara TV

5) Apatah lagi dengan pemilihan Nur Sajat yang dilihat berimej sangat seksi secara pemakaiannya (saya tak mahu komen isu lain yang kita semua tahu sensitif dan sering diperkatakan). Dengan lenggok nyanyiannya, aduhhhhh memang over. Tak sesuai dengan Datuk Aliff.Kalau belum dengar lagu ni, lebih baik tak dengar daripada dengar. Takut berdarah telinga...Bukan sebab lagu atau suara tak sedap, tetapi lirik dan kesan yang tak boleh diharap...6) Sebagai seorang ayah, saya rasa patut malu jika anak-anak kita 'tengok' nyanyian sebegini... Apa perasaan Datuk apabila anak-anak Datuk tengok ni?7) Apa perasaan Datuk apabila isteri Datuk 'tonton' nyanyian ini? Saya tak mahu mentelah secara berlebih, tetapi ada masanya jawapan "OK" yang diberi isteri tidak semestinya bermaksud "OK"... Kecuali dia pun sekepala, tak kisah apa tentang imej tudungnya, budi bahasanya, adabnya...Saya pernah respek Datuk sebab jaga imej isteri, jaga anak-anak, bla bla bla.. Tetapi sekarang, aduhhhhh...Abang (Saya) Nak Tegur, pilihlah untuk jadi ikon yang positif, yang soleh, yang baik...Abang (Saya) Nak Tegur, Datuk tak perlu pun buat benda-benda sebegini, you've gained what you deserve, kenapa nak burukkan imej sendiri dengan perkara-perkara tak perlu sebegini... Bukankah baru lepas sponsor Pencetus Ummah dan Daie Nusantara?Saya pula yang rasa malu 'tengok' lagu ini.Kalaulah perform menyanyi lagu ni atas pentas dengan para penari yang pakai baju ketat menari terkinja-kinja, tak boleh nak bayangkan buruknyaaa...Update: Feel free untuk share, tekan butang share ramai-ramai. Boleh share, tak perlu minta izin, saya izinkan 100%.

Datuk Aliff Syukri.

Woman Pulls Down Her Shorts And Starts Urinating On MRT In Singapore

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

A woman was spotted urinating on an MRT in Singapore at midnight on Monday, 29 August

The incident was spotted by AsiaOne at 12.35am on a North-South line train headed towards Jurong East MRT station.The woman, who was believed to be in her 20s, seemed to be intoxicated at the time. She was seen lying flat across three train seats.As the train was travelling between Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Gombak MRT stations, the woman took a trip down three cabins and left one of her bags behind.AsiaOne noted that the woman was seen without a face mask when she coughed violently.

Image via AsiaOne

While wearing face masks in Singapore has become optional beginning Monday, it is still mandatory for people to wear face masks while on public transport and in health facilities, reported CNA.

When she arrived at the third cabin, she pulled down her shorts and started urinating

The act surprised every commuter present. One passenger immediately left his seat and headed to the next cabin.AsiaOne reported that the woman's discharge was seen flowing down on the cabin floor towards the front of the train.The woman then stayed on the train for another stop before getting off at Jurong East MRT station, which is the end of the line.

Image via AsiaOne

AsiaOne has reached out to SMRT Corporation for a comment on the matter, and the public transport company advises commuters to report any suspicious behaviour to their staff immediately

Commuters are also advised to report any unattended bags or packages to their personnel as well.According to local regulations, urinating or defecating in public places other than sanitary areas is an offence finable up to SGD1,000 (about RM3,200). Second and third offences have a fine of SGD2,000 and SGD3,000, respectively.

[VIDEO] Man Stops Charging Elephant With His Bare Hands

While visiting the Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand, 27-year-old Tor Bowling came nose-to-trunk with a charging elephant and lived to tell the tale

What should have been a horrifying scene when an enormous elephant charged a man at a sanctuary in Thailand was worthy of just a few chuckles by Tor Bowling who chooses to look at the situation as a positive experience.

        nydailynews.com

The bizarrely astonishing encounter was captured on video at the Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary. Bowling is seen standing on a pathway completely still, looking at something hiding in the bush.

Image via businessinsider.com

All of a sudden, an elephant charges and heads right at Bowling, who — amazingly — doesn't so much as flinch

Image via businessinsider.com

Instead he steps towards the enormous animal and extends his hand in a halting motion. Amazingly the animal complies — letting out a huge shriek when he sees Bowling's hand and turns to run away.

Image via businessinsider.com

It's safe to assume that most people in the same situation would either scream, run or curl up into a ball and pray for a quick death. Bowling clearly isn't most people.

Image via businessinsider.com

He turns to the person filming the clip and gives a smile and a chuckle, like the entire thing was no big deal. Don't play chicken with this guy — you will lose.

        yahoo.com

Bowling said he was an engineer but was bored by his job so he decided to quit and travel for a month with his friend Navee Kittisak

He visited the sanctuary so he could see a dinosaur footprint and on his way back he saw the elephant. The resident of Chonburi Thailand said when he first saw the elephant, which is not included in the video clip, he did not move and stared at the elephant for a long time. He tried to back away slowly but the elephant moved back with him.

        nydailynews.com

When the animal suddenly charged at him Bowling said he was scared and extended his hand as a reaction. It was not premeditated, he said. He did not think about what he would do if the elephant charged him, he said. “But I'm sure. it didn't want to hurt me,” he said based on its reaction.

        yahoo.com

Perhaps the most surprising part of the video is the seemingly nonchalant way Bowling reacted. After the animal fled, Bowling then turns around to his friend, who was filming the incident, and just chuckles. As the elephant disappears back into the jungle he lets out another loud sound, and Bowling turns to his friend and chuckles again.

        nydailynews.com

He said his reaction was the product of an extremely positive attitude he has – especially now that he is traveling and trying to find a new direction for his life

Image via nydailynews.com

I always think (everything that happens to me) is a special moment and I think I'm lucky to have had the chance to experience that,” he said. “I don't need (to think of things) as bad memories. So I smile to make it a good situation.”

        nydailynews.com

Bowling said he thinks of this experience as a good memory and not a scary incident. When asked if he would want to see an elephant again Bowling said he wouldn’t mind seeing one but he wouldn’t go to a location just to see them. And Bowling said he wants to emphasize the elephant was not hurt and he did not try to provoke the animal.

Jakim Says Marriage Between Muslim and Non-Muslim is Banned

Jakim director-general Datuk Othman Mustapha says, "Marriage between Muslim and non-Muslim is banned and illegal"

Any marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim is disallowed and is not recognised in this country and action can be taken by the state Islamic religious authorities, said Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) director-general Datuk Othman Mustapha.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

He said Islamic family laws state no Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman and no Muslim woman can marry a non-Muslim man.

        malaysia-today.net

"A marriage between spouses of different religions is completed prohibited and against the principle of beliefs of the Shafie sect (Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah) in Malaysia," he said in a statement here today.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

He was commenting on a Universiti Malaya study on the issue of liberalism in Muslim marriages with non-Muslim spouses

He was commenting on a Universiti Malaya study on the issue of liberalism in Muslim marriages with non-Muslim spouses not having to convert from their religions.

        malaysia-today.net

Two days ago, Universiti Malaya Academy of Islamic Studies, Department of Akidah and Islamic Thought Associate Prof Dr Khadijah Hambali told religious authorities in the country to carry out specific measures to curb the phenomenon.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Freedom of religion in Malaysia: In brief

Freedom of religion is enshrined in the Malaysian Constitution. First, Article 11 provides that every person has the right to profess and to practice his or her religion and (subject to applicable laws restricting the propagation of other religions to Muslims) to propagate it.

        wikipedia.org

The status of freedom of religion in Malaysia is a controversial issue. Questions including whether Malaysia is an Islamic state or secular state remains unresolved.

        wikipedia.org

A non-Muslim person who wishes to marry a Muslim person must convert to Islam before the marriage can be recognised as legally valid. A marriage between two non-Muslims (civil law marriages), however, will not become void after one spouse subsequently converts to Islam.

Chinese Tourists Forced To Clean Up After Flooding Airport With Their Garbage

An airport in South Korea has suffered the inconveniences of attending to ill-mannered Chinese tourists.
The departure gates at Jeju Island International Airport - the second largest airport in South Korea - was flooded with garbage left by the visitors.

Plastic covers and packages of different sizes were left scattered near the departure gates.
Image via Jemin

According to Jeju newspaper Jemin, the tourists bought some duty-free goods at a designated area near the departure gate before their flight. Many of them then removed the packaging to reduce the items' bulk before boarding the plane. Instead of throwing the plastic wrappers and boxes into designated bins, the tourists tossed them on the floor.

The unruly tourists were sternly asked to pick up the trash they left behind by using garbage bags and dumpsters

“We will keep reinforcing the sanitation team at the gates for international flights,” an official from the airport told The Korea Times.

The official also said the airport has special areas around the gate where tourists can dump the rubbish and airport staffs have been reminding them of the regulations

The Korea Airports Corporation in Jeju has also taken action by increasing the number of cleaners at the gate from two to three.

The airport might impose a penalty in the future to curb tourists from littering

"Even though there is still lots of rubbish left after they depart, less of them are dumping it on the floor after we've taken action," the official added.

Recently, two Chinese tourists were arrested for urinating in Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden:

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Joseph Entulu Belaun apologised for the confusion over a report on the dropping of the 'race' column in government official forms that had no value added.

        thestar.com.my

He said in a statement that the matter was discussed at a cabinet meeting but no decision was made.

Reports yesterday, he said, had misinterpreted his statement. "The inaccurate report has caused anxiety," he said in a brief statement.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Joseph Entulu Belaun said applications for jobs in some government departments like pharmacists and in the Prime Minister's Office did not require one to state their race.

        thesundaily.my

Entulu said although there had been no directive or circular issued on the matter, about 120 official government forms have omitted the column. He said among the forms were for the 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) and the housing loan scheme forms for the low-income group.

        thestar.com.my

"Application forms for government loans from the lower income group also do not have a race column (anymore)," he said at a press conference to announce the move here today.

        thesundaily.my

He added that the racial identification column will be dropped altogether in years to come when the government no longer requires such information.

        thesundaily.my

However, Race Categories Cannot Be Completely Dropped As It Needs To Be Recorded In Cases Like Census And Research Purposes

"The government assures Malaysians that if details of one's race are requested, it is because it is necessary and not for racial profiling. We need these details in many instances like in a census and for research purposes," he said.

        thesundaily.my

“The column cannot be immediately and completely dropped because in some aspects, stating the race is needed. “For instance when the government carry out census or in land-related matters,” he told newsmen here on Wednesday.

        thestar.com.my

Entulu added that there were three categories of official forms which still retained the “race” column, with one of these related to Article 153 of the Federal Constitution to protect the position and rights of communities in the country. In the second category, the racial identity is required to meet the legal requirements involving land, education, business and those areas gazetted under the acts. In the third category, the racial identity is needed for research and planning purposes such as in disease control, education enhancement, population demography, and facility and development planning.

Ajaib! Gugusan Pasir Ini Timbul Di Tengah Laut Dan Beri 'Effect' Cermin Yang Menakjubkan

Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Pernah dengar tak 'Sasaran Sky Mirror' yang terletak di Kuala Selangor ni?Haa mungkin ada yang tak pernah sebab Sky Mirror ni agak rare dan susah nak jumpa. Kalau tak silap, tempat ini mula viral di media sosial sejak tahun lepas dan terus menjadi bahan bualan orang ramai selepas itu.Bayangkan tiba-tiba ada orang jumpa satu kawasan lapang yang luas dan dilitupi dengan air laut cetek yang memberi pemandangan memukau. Sekali tengok memang sebijik macam Shallow Lake di Iceland, tempat di mana Shah Rukh Khan dan Kajol berlari berpelukan dalam klip video Gerua.

Ini dia!
Image via Sony Music India/YouTube

Sky Mirror di Kuala Selangor turut disamakan dengan Salar De Uyuni, sebuah tanah lapang berupa garam rata yang luas yang terletak di Bolivia.

Salar De Uyuni.
Image via imgur.com

Melihatkan pada gambar-gambar yang viral tersebut, saya sebagai seorang kaki jalan teringin sungguh nak lihat sendiri keindahan Sasaran Sky Mirror. Mula-mula tengok gambar, rasa macam tak percaya tempat sebegitu rupa boleh wujud di Malaysia. Di Selangor pulak tu!Saya pun tertanya-tanya, "Kat mana sebenarnya tempat ni ya?" Macam mana nak pergi?"

1. Mulakan research di Internet

Pada satu hari minggu, saya ambil keputusan untuk buat research di Internet tentang di mana dan bagaimana untuk ke situ. Ternyata, sumber-sumber yang ada di Internet memang tak banyak, yang ada pun kebanyakannya dalam bahasa Cina. Susah betul nak cari info dalam Bahasa Melayu.Cari punya cari, tiba-tiba saya terjumpa ini:

Image via Adventoro

ADVENTORO!Adventoro merupakan sebuah agensi pelancongan yang menawarkan pelbagai pakej menarik untuk kaki jalan dan kaki adventure. Nak jadikan cerita, timing saya memang kena pada waktu itu kerana Adventoro ada menawarkan pakej day trip ke Sky Mirror. Memang cun lah!Tanpa membuang masa, saya terus call dan arrange segala keperluan untuk trip tersebut. Rasa tak sabar sangat nak pergi!

2. Misi ke Sasaran Sky Mirror bermula!

Let's go!
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Kami semua bertemu di meeting point atau istilah lainnya jeti pada pukul 10.30 pagi. Sampai saja di tempat berkumpul, kelihatan ada ramai lagi orang dan deretan bas yang turut sama ingin pergi ke Sky Mirror."Eh ramainya orang! Tapi, kenapa semua orang Cina?"Jangan salah faham, jauh sekali niat saya untuk menjadi seorang rasis atau bersifat perkauman. Cuma agak janggal rasanya melihat puluhan warga Cina sedang berkumpul menunggu giliran untuk menaiki bot.

Tempat berkumpul.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Rupa-rupanya, baru saya tahu Sky Mirror ini sememangnya amat popular di kalangan Chinese-speaking-Chinese community. Kebanyakan mereka datang dengan menaiki bas pelancong beramai-ramai berkonsep Rombongan Cik Kiah. Manakala masyarakat lain memang tak ramai, boleh kira pakai jari. Hehe.

Image via TSG #KasiJadi

3. Wajib beli atau bawa props ke Sky Mirror untuk tujuan bergambar

Nasib baik ada gerai ni.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Untuk dapatkan gambar yang cantik dan lebih cinematic, anda wajib membawa props berwarna-warni yang pastinya akan membantu menaikkan nilai estetika sesebuah gambar. Nanti saya tunjuk perbezaan gambar yang ada props dengan yang tak ada props. Memang berbeza!Kami yang tidak tahu menahu tentang itu berasa bertuah sebab ada gerai kecil ini yang menjual pelbagai barangan menarik yang sesuai untuk dibawa ke sana.Mula-mula rasa macam tak nak beli sebab kami dah pakai baju merah terang (bukan semua), jadi tak ada masalah nak nampak visible dalam gambar. Tapi selepas berfikir 10 kali, akhirnya jadi juga kami beli payung. Sekurang-kurangnya dapat juga kami berteduh sedikit di bawah panas terik matahari. Serius memang panas!

4. Jom naik bot!

Oh lupa nak beritahu. Untuk sampai ke sini, rasanya Waze dan Google Maps memang tak dapat nak beri lokasi yang begitu tepat. Tapi boleh je kalau nak search 'Sky Mirror'. Cuma tak berapa pasti tentang ketepatan lokasi tersebut sebab nama jeti ni memang tak ada dalam aplikasi tu.Kalau ikutkan, lokasinya terletak di Jeram, Kuala Selangor. Tapi ada jugak yang kata kat Sungai Buloh sebab situ memang kawasan Sungai Buloh pun. Memang agak confuse sikit sebenarnya. Sama ada kat Kuala Selangor atau Sungai Buloh, saya pun tak pasti sebenarnya.Mungkin kalau nak senang boleh search nama tokong ni kot. Cuma masalahnya saya tak ingat pulak namanya.

Ini tokongnya.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Setelah menunggu lebih kurang sejam setengah (tak tahulah kenapa lama sangat), akhirnya dapat juga kami naik bot. Satu bot boleh memuatkan lebih kurang 30 orang kalau tak silap. Tak besar mana pun bot nya.

Ini teh tarik ke sungai?
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Jam menunjukkan pukul 11.50 pagi ketika itu dan perjalanan bot mengambil masa tak sampai 30 minit untuk ke Sky Mirror. Dengan perlahan bot menyusuri kawasan sungai berpaya yang agak cetek pada mulanya. Di sini kami boleh lihat lambakan burung Bangau berkeliaran, beterbangan, jalan-jalan cari makan, dan berehat di habitat mereka yang agak panas dan kering.

5. Selamat tiba di Sky Mirror!

Setelah hampir 30 minit perjalanan, kami akhirnya sampai di Sky Mirror. Woohoo excited! Ajaib betul tempat ni. Sedang kami menyusuri lautan Selat Melaka, tiba-tiba ada satu gugusan pasir yang sangat luas in the middle of nowhere. Dan gugusan pasir ni memang langsung tak tenggelam. Air laut yang mengalir kat atas pasir ni terlalu cetek tak sampai buku lali pun. Padahal keliling memang penuh dengan lautan biru. Seakan magik!

Sky Mirror!
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Tapi mula-mula ada rasa sceptical sikit sebab sebaik saja sampai, mata kami disajikan dengan kehadiran puluhan, malah ratusan manusia di situ."Aduh, ramainya orang! Macam mana nak ambil gambar cantik tanpa di-photobombed oleh orang lain?" dengus hati kecil kami.Dengar cerita, Sky Mirror ni memang sentiasa penuh dengan lautan manusia pada setiap hujung minggu. Untunglah siapa yang buat bisnes bot kat sini. Kalau tak nak bersesak, bolehlah pergi pada hari bekerja, Isnin sampai Jumaat ya.

Tengoklah betapa ramainya manusia. Maklumlah weekend.

Masa kami pergi ni, cuaca sangat panas. Bayangkanlah kami perlu berjemur di bawah terik matahari selama sejam lebih pada pukul 12.30 tengahari. Sebelum pergi, pastikan korang standby dengan tuala kecil, atau topi di kepala, dan kalau pakai lengan panjang lagi bagus untuk mengelakkan effect belang di lengan. Nak lagi best, bawak payung.Oh lupa, bawak jugak air mineral satu botol besar bagi tujuan hidrasi. Kat sini langsung tak ada tempat berteduh. Jadi, memang terpaksa tahan bahang kepanasan yang membakar setiap inci kulit pada setiap saat. Nasib baiklah tempat ni berangin.

6. Tak macam cermin pun?

Hmmm, adakah Sky Mirror ini hanya indah khabar dari rupa? Well, itu apa yang saya rasa masa mula-mula sampai dan ketika percubaan pertama saya mengambil gambar. Dah lah penuh dengan manusia, nak dapatkan effect pantulan cermin tu pun bukan main susah.Rasa macam kena game.

Take 1: Gagal dengan jayanya.

Take 2: Masih gagal.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Tengok orang lain punya gambar kat Instagram semua lawa-lawa. Memang menjadi betul effect pantulan tu. Macam mana entah diorang buat.

Kenapa gambar orang lain lawa gila?
Image via Instagram @shiauhui91

Cita-cita datang ke Sky Mirror ni untuk ambil gambar cantik-cantik untuk dimuat naik ke Insta. Kalau gambar lawa, baru boleh dapat banyak likes. Tapi selepas beberapa percubaan, hasil gambar masih berada pada tahap noob dan amatur. Nak dapatkan 10 likes pun susah rasanya.

7. Nasib baik tempat ni besar gila

Yes, Sky Mirror ni memang sangat luas! Walaupun ada ratusan manusia datang pada masa yang sama, masih ada banyak lagi spots yang tak berpenghuni, sesuai untuk mendapatkan gambar yang lebih cinematic tanpa dicemari oleh tetamu yang tak diundang.Bila dah jauh dari orang ramai, barulah ada mood sikit nak ambil gambar. Lama-kelamaan, effect pantulan cermin tu dah nampak sikit-sikit. Tapi hasilnya masih kurang memberangsangkan.

Seperti yang dijanjikan sebelum ini, jom tengok perbezaan gambar yang ada props dengan gambar yang tak ada props. Korang nilailah sendiri perbezaannya di bawah:

Tak ada props.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Ada props. Kan lebih nice tu.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Tak ada props.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Ada props.
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Beza kan?Sememangnya, siapa-siapa yang datang ke sini WAJIB untuk bawak props yang warna-warni. Kalau tak, gambar mesti jadi kurang menarik. Melainkan kalau effect pantulan tu betul-betul menjadi.Tapi untuk dapatkan pantulan tu, kenalah try and error banyak kali dan practice sampai dapat. Once you know the trick, tak ada masalah dah lepas tu.

8. Selepas beratus-ratus gambar diambil, akhirnya effect pantulan semakin jelas kelihatan. Yes!

Tadaa!
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Oh well, hasil yang saya dapat ni takdelah gempak mana pun. Kalau tengok gambar orang lain lagi lawa-lawa belaka rasanya.Cuma rasa puas hati jugaklah sebab mula-mula ambil gambar memang langsung tak nampak pantulan kat air cetek tu. Macam nak give up pun ada jugak.Tapi akhirnya dapat jugak tahu teknik macam mana nak ambil gambar supaya pantulan tu kelihatan seakan-akan cermin. Practice makes perfect katanya kan. Betul lah tu. Hehe.

Tadaa lagi!
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Tipsnya sebenarnya tak susah mana. Meh sini saya share sikit semoga bermanfaat:1. Pergi kat spot yang tak ada orang. Lagi best nak bergambar dan lebih privacy.2. Lebih elok pilih spot yang nampak permukaan air sahaja. Konon-konon macam tengah terapung bila berdiri kat situ. (Kalau korang tengok gambar-gambar saya di atas, ada sesetengah gambar yang ada banyak tompok pasir. Tak berapa cantik sangat hasilnya.)3. Kalau nak dapatkan pantulan lebih elok, pilih spot yang airnya tenang dan tak ditiup angin. (Sebab angin kat situ agak kuat.)4. Sebelum ambil gambar, tengok dulu dengan mata kasar sama ada nampak atau tidak effect pantulan tu. Kalau pantulan tak jelas, sila re-angle dan carilah sudut yang betul-betul jelas sampai dapat. Mesti ada.5. Bila dah nampak effect cermin dengan mata kasar, baru boleh ambil gambar!

Cak!
Image via TSG #KasiJadi

Lagi satu, saya nampak ada fotografer sampai berbaring dan dekatkan lensa kameranya pada permukaan air. Punyalah gigih ambil gambar. Mungkin korang boleh cuba cara ni untuk dapatkan hasil yang terbaik. Saya tak buat sebab tak nak kotor dan malas. Lol.

Sedikit tips dan Q&A untuk ke Sky Mirror:

Kat mana jeti untuk pergi ke Sky Mirror ni?- Nama jeti tu ialah jeti Kuala Sungai Buloh (kalau tak silap) di Jeram, Kuala Selangor. Lokasinya berdekatan dengan Burger King Jeram. Boleh Waze 'Sasaran' jugak.

Ni haa.
Image via Google Maps

Macam mana nak pergi?- Jujurnya, saya pun tak tahu sangat. Tapi kalau nak senang, pergi saja ke laman web Adventoro, beli pakej, dan mereka akan uruskan segalanya from A to Z. Lagi senang. Sebab kalau nak pergi sendiri macam leceh je.

Book terus kat sini lagi senang!
Image via Adventoro

Nak pakai baju apa?- Baju biasa je. Tapi pakailah baju terang benderang barulah stand out sikit bila bergambar. Lebih elok bawak pakaian lebih sebab takut basah nanti.Berapa lama aktiviti di Sky Mirror?- Lebih kurang sejam atau sejam setengah, tak termasuk boat ride.Apa lagi nak kena bawak?- Props, props, and more props. Lol. Oh, jangan lupa bawak tuala kecik untuk diletakkan di kepala sebab panas, and water too. Duit pun of course kena bawak. Takkan nak buat pekasam kot.Boleh ke nak pergi sorang-sorang?- Better pergi in a group lah. Seronok sikit ada kawan-kawan. Boleh tolong ambilkan gambar. Nak buat gambar lawa-lawa pun boleh. Kalau sorang-sorang macam hambar je. Gambar pun tak cantik nanti.Apa lagi ya? Rasanya itu je kot.

How To Pick The Perfect Durian And Make The Most Out Of The Durian Season

There is only one fruit in the world that is as equally adored as it is despised - the durian a.k.a. the indisputable King of Fruits...

Image via magnificentlifeofplants' Tumblr

Depending on your sense of smell, you will either (a) find the smell of durians absolutely heavenly or (b) run fast in the other direction the moment you catch a whiff of the revolting and nauseating smell. There is no in-between.

... And if the sudden influx of durian trucks and stalls have not clued you in already, durian season is finally upon us!

Image via nurhazwaniphotography's Tumblr

In even better news (for durian lovers, at least), coinciding harvests in Johor and Pahang combined with a slower demand due to Ramadan means MOAR DURIANS to chomp on, with prices predicted to drop in the coming weeks!

Image via Miri City Sharing Channel

Durian season in Malaysia usually occurs from June to August every year. Harvest season in Pahang is typically in early July while Johor's tends to be from the end of May to early June.

Durians are very serious business, as indicated by the different grades and species they are separated into. Some of the most popular types of durian you'll find in Malaysia include:

1. Musang King a.k.a. Mao Shan Wang, Rajah Kunyit, Cat Mountain King, Butter Durian

Image via robertchaen.com

One of the most popular durians right now, Musang King is placed at the top of the table and is probably the most expensive out of all. The sticky, creamy flesh - golden yellow and smooth - starts off as bitter before ending in a sweet note. The seeds are so small you might even find some seedless ones. Prices range from RM22 to RM30 per kg.

2. D24 a.k.a. Sultan

Image via robertchaen.com

Thick, gooey, rich, and creamy - the D24's pale yellow flesh is described as strongly bitter with sweetness kicking in after. The smell is said to be the strongest of all durians. Prices range from RM12 to RM20 per kg.

3. D101

Image via shiokhochiak.blogspot.com

Originating from Johor, the D101 is usually the choice for customers who want a milder taste. This breed is not as bitter as its counterparts are and it also has a special creamy texture to its orangey-yellow flesh.Prices range between RM10 to RM18 per kg.

        savemoney.my

4. Green Bamboo a.k.a. Teka, Chut-keok, Qing Zhu

Image via robertchaen.com

If you love bitter durian that isn’t dry, then Green Bamboo would be perfect for you. Pale yellow with a greenish tinge, the fibrous flesh is sweet and creamy.

5. XO

The XO durian's pale yellow flesh is bitter but extremely soft and fleshy with a slight tinge of an alcoholic taste.

6. Red Prawn a.k.a. Hong Har, Hong Xia, Ang Heh

Image via http://robertchaen.com/2014/08/31/types-of-malaysian-durians-tastes-and-pricing/

This durian is well known as a second grade after the Mao Shan Wang. A well sought after breed in the country, this durian boasts creamy, custard-like flesh that ranges from yellow to reddish in colour, which is where its name comes from. The Red Prawn durian brings a bitter sweet taste.Prices range between RM15 to RM22 per kg.

        savemoney.my

7. Durian Kampung

Image via savemoney.my

The most common durians you can find in the market. The Malay word kampung means village, which basically means that these durians were not planted in a mass plantation but in a village. The taste of Durian Kampung can range from bitter to bitter sweet but can be quite dry and are usually smaller than the durians planted in a plantation.Prices range between RM6 to RM12.

        savemoney.my

Despite its rough, hulking appearance and - to some - repulsive smell, the thorny fruit is an excellent source of energy and packed with nutrients including vitamins B and C, potassium, amino acid tryptophan, and fibre. The durian fruit's list of health benefits might surprise you:

Image via Organic Facts

However, be careful not to over-indulge on durians, as you might find yourself packing on a few extra pounds due to its high calorie and fat content! People with diabetes should also limit their durian intake because of the fruit's high sugar content.

Image via ieatishootipost

Durians have 3 times more fat than most fruits. Although they are generally the good kind of fats (that means no saturated fats and zero cholesterol, yippee!), durian lovers who are battling weight gain and obesity should take caution when indulging in durians.

It is also widely believed - especially among the Chinese - that durians are of the 'heaty' variety and hence, should not be excessively consumed.
But don't worry, you might have heard from your elders that the 'heat' can be countered by eating mangosteens (a 'cooling' fruit) and/or drinking water (salted, if desired) from a durian husk.

Image via fromlittleindia.blogspot.com

These methods, however, are not scientifically proven. The belief that eating durian and mangosteens together to reduce 'heatiness' probably stemmed from the fact that both seasonal fruits are harvested at around the same time.

Now, on to the most important part of eating durians - picking out the perfect one! Newbies buying their own durians for the first time are probably not going to be an expert at first try, but here are some tips to help you:

    1. Go to a reputable seller, and keep going back if the durians are good.2. Never smell the base of the durian. Sniff along the seams of split lines. If there is no aroma, the durian is unripe; too strong, it's probably over-ripe. 3. The best durians are oval or slightly oblong in shape. Odd-shaped fruit are likely to have fewer chambers inside and so fewer flesh-covered seeds. A perfectly round durian may have sub-standard fruit because it is usually less aromatic and the seeds are usually bigger and the meat less fleshy and creamy.4. Different varieties of durians come in different sizes. For example, XO durians are generally smaller while there are no small Red Prawn durians – these are generally large fruit. So be suspicious if a seller points to a large XO durian or a small Red Prawn one.5. Some sellers try to push durians that have been rejected by other customers. Watch the vendors to ensure that they are opening a new durian.6. Instead of prodding the flesh-covered seeds when the seller presents an open fruit, customers should taste the durian. If it is bad, or not the variety promised, you are not obliged to buy it.7. To make sure a seller isn’t passing off a lesser durian as a Musang King, look for prominent seams radiating from the base of the durian (the lines where the spikes of the durian run parallel to each other). The base of a real Musang King durian has a flat round spot about half the size of a 5-cent coin.

        straitstimes.com

Some also believe that eating durians with certain beverages (e.g. Coke, alcoholic drinks, and milk) spell a lethal combination that could lead to heart attacks, strokes, fatal blood clots... and death.
In truth, these are just urban myths that are - unfortunately - been shared quite widely on social media because, well, everyone is afraid of dying.

Image via nkkhoo.com

Eating durians with alcohol and/or Coca Cola is likely to cause bloating, indigestion, and general discomfort because your liver has to work overtime to metabolise the fats and sugars, especially if you've eaten A LOT of those foods. But it's not gonna create cobra poison or make your blood clot and kill you. Moderation is key!Also, eating durians with milk does not cause heart attacks, because heart attacks are caused by a blockage of the artery leading to oxygen deprivation of cardiovascular muscle. If you're still staring at this passage with narrow-eyed skepticism, how do you explain durian ice cream?

If you're at a durian buffet or festival, chances are there will be helpers on hand to open your durians for you. In the event that you're planning to take your purchased goods home to be savoured, you need to know how to cut and open your durians:

Image via the kitchn

    1. Lay paper on the floor (this can get messy) and then with a large, sharp knife, make a deep score in the outer hull, about 8 to 10 inches long.2. Dig your fingers in the incision and start prying the hull apart.3. Keep pulling and pushing until you have two halves.4. Take the knife and score a deep cut in the fibrous “rib” in the center of each half.5. Pull the halved section apart into two sections.

But please, for the love of God, do not cut your durians into half! THIS IS AN ABOMINATION:

Image via The Mad Edition

Last but not least, we've got to deal with the aftermath of eating durians. It's pretty much impossible to get rid of the pungent smell from your hands, mouth, and - if applicable - car! But that does not mean all hope is lost:

To get rid of the smell from your hands and breath: Take a few empty durian shells and fill the hollows with water. A few back and forth scrapings with your finger in the water would enrich the compound content of the rinsing water, thereby improving the deodorising activity. Then use this water to wash your fingers and rinse your mouth.

        nlb.gov.sg

From your car: Depending on how intense the smell is in your car, you can start by filling an open travel mug halfway with vinegar and leave it in your cup holder for a day or two. Just don't take a swig! Or you could soak a rag with vinegar and keep it in an open container under a front seat. Vinegar absorbs smells so this will help. Baking soda will also help – just place an open box under the seats.

Dulu Hanya Tahu ‘Kecek Kelate’, Kini Pengawal Masjid Ini Dah Kuasai 7 Bahasa Dunia. Tabik!

Seorang pengawal keselamatan Masjid Putra di Putrajaya dikatakan belajar tujuh bahasa demi memudahkan proses berkomunikasi dengan para pelancong di situ

Image via Sinchew

Pengawal keselamatan tersebut yang hanya dikenali sebagai Khairul dilaporkan mula berkhidmat di masjid itu sejak 15 bulan yang lalu.Khairul yang kebiasaannya bertugas selama 12 jam setiap hari, kadang kala akan bertugas lebih masa pada hari-hari tertentu, namun itu tidak menghentikan dia untuk mempelajari bahasa baharu pada penghujung hari, lapor akhbar Sinchew.

Khairul yang berasal dari negeri Kelantan telah mengaku bahawa pada mulanya dia menghadapi masalah komunikasi kerana loghat yang diguna olehnya agak sukar difahami oleh orang sekeliling

Oleh yang demikian, dia berusaha untuk mempelajari bahasa Malaysia (tanpa loghat) dan tiga bulan kemudian, dia berjaya berkomunikasi dengan semua orang dengan selesa.

Image via Sinchew

Dia kemudiannya mengambil pendekatan mempelajari tujuh bahasa lain bagi memudahkannya komunikasi dengan pelancong masjid berkenaan iaitu bahasa Mandarin, Vietnam, Korea, Jepun, Thailand, Parsi dan Inggeris.“Masjid ini adalah destinasi pelancongan, kita perlu memahami bahasa mereka kerana sesetengah pelancong tidak begitu memahami arahan dalam bahasa Inggeris dengan baik. Untuk kemudahan mereka, kita perlu mempelajari bahasa mereka sekiranya keadaan memerlukan,” kata Khairul.

Khairul tidak menerima pembelajaran rasmi, oleh itu dia berusaha untuk belajar dengan cara mencatat setiap ayat yang dibetulkan oleh para pemandu pelancong dan pelancong kepadanya dalam buku nota khas kepunyaannya

Image via Sinchew

Khairul kemudiannya akan mengulangi setiap ayat atau perkataan yang baru diketahuinya dalam masa seminggu agar dia biasa dengan penggunaan ayat yang sepatutnya. Proses pembelajarannya juga tidaklah diambil ringan. Khairul akan mula dengan perkataan dan sebutan, seterusnya dia akan mempelajari frasa dan pembinaan ayat yang sepatutnya pula.Disamping itu, Khairul turut mendedahkan bahawa para pelancong lebih bersedia mematuhi arahannya jika dia bercakap dalam bahasa mereka. “Pelancong yang tidak patuh dengan peraturan berpakaian dalam kawasan masjid perlu meminjam jubah (dari masjid). Kami akan menasihatkan wanita untuk menutup bahagian rambut dan memastikan pakaian mereka cukup sopan sebelum memasuki masjid,” katanya.

Kita nak bercakap lebih daripada satu bahasa pun tersangkut inikan pula tujuh. Tabiklah pada saudara Khairul!

Innocent Video Of M'sian Woman Eating Sushi Receives Unsolicited Lewd Comments

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

It's unfortunate that women today don't feel safe, as they are objectified to satisfy men's sexual desire.
Anything they do or wear will get bombarded with lewd comments from hypersexual perverts.

Image via GIPHY

Women also have to be conscious of everything they post on social media now, even if it is as harmless as posting an eating video.
This TikTok user, for example, received the wrong type of attention for simply posting a video of her enjoying sushi.

In a 19-second video, TikTok user @fienajeeha recorded herself enjoying a few plates of sushi at a restaurant. It was just a normal eating video until several men decided to leave sexual remarks in the comment section.

  @fienajeeha Sushi bonanza u #sushibonanza #sushiking   Ada Apa Denganmu - Noah

Most of the lewd comments were about how @fienajeeha ate the food

According to screenshots of TikTok comments, many people commented on how wide she opens her mouth while eating, while others said how "fortunate" her husband is to have a wife with a mouth like hers.

Image via @fienajeeha (TikTok)

Image via @fienajeeha (TikTok)

Traumatised by the vulgar remarks, the TikToker has since turned off the comments section.

Image via @fienajeeha (TikTok)

After her video was shared on Twitter, netizens came together to defend @fienajeeha, saying she did not deserve to be harassed for posting a video of herself eating

At the same time, they called out the perverts for their inappropriate comments. The victim @feinajeehah replied to the tweet yesterday, 29 November, confessing that she felt insecure about her mouth after reading the tasteless remarks. She was reassured by other Twitter users that she had no reason to feel insecure because she had nothing wrong in the first place. In response to the support she received, she expressed her gratitude for the positive comments and informed them that she will be taking legal action.

I would to thank everyone for all the positive comments, no worries Im good and I will take a legal action on this. To all my beautiful girls, please take care of yourself!— Fie Najeehah (@fienajeehah) November 29, 2022

M'sians Share How The MCO Has Given Them Greater Appreciation Of The Women In Their Lives

1. "I'm so thankful for my mum. I never knew how much energy it would take to entertain my 4-year-old daughter all day long!"

"My mum was too shy to be in the picture!" - Sukhbir
Image via Sukhbir Cheema

"Even before the MCO, my mum has been staying with us and taking care of our 4-year-old daughter while my wife and I work. However, now that we're all at home together, we realise how extremely patient my mum has been while taking care of our energetic daughter!Juggling our daughter while getting our daily professional tasks done isn't easy. If it wasn't for my mum, we would have gone bonkers. I'm also extremely thankful for having my mum, wife, and daughter around to speak to. Imagine being indoors alone by yourself all day long. It can be a crazy experience."- Sukhbir, 34 years old.

2. "My wife is such an amazing cook. She's recently been levelling up her culinary skills and making me some of my favourite dishes!"

Image via Colin Gan

"I'm so thankful for Valerie. Since we've all been stuck at home, she's been taking the time to read up recipes online and cook 'em for me <3 I never really realised how amazing her culinary skills were until now. It's so very sweet of her to take the extra effort to cook up the food I've been craving for!"- Colin Gan, 31 years old.

3. "My sister is such a joy to be around. MCO is so much more fun and crazy when you have a sister to go through it together."

"I'm thankful for my sister, and I could not imagine what MCO would be like without her. Before this, she was working in Melaka, but I'm so glad she was allowed to work from home back here in Subang. It made me realise how much I really missed her.It's so nice to have a sister to dance with for a zumba workout, or someone I can toss flour on when we're baking together! She is also my calories controller and my daily reminder to go slow on my food intake."- Carol, 30 years old.

4. "My wife always does the groceries, but now I'm in charge and it's much harder to stay under budget than I thought"

"I never knew grocery shopping could be so difficult. There are so many different brands for the same thing and all the math you have to do while shopping is impossible. Thankfully, my wife writes me a grocery list, including brand names, rough prices, and quantity, just to make sure I don't overspend or buy the wrong thing.This MCO has definitely taught me to appreciate her and see how awesome she really is. What's more, she is working full-time, homeschooling three kids, taking care of the baby, cooking, and cleaning. She basically does everything!"- Haikal, 35 years old.

5. "My mum is vegetarian, but she spends hours each day cooking non-vege dishes from scratch for me T.T"

"MCO has really made me appreciate my mum so much! I usually eat almost all my meals outside or order delivery. But since I'm home now, I actually see the effort my mum puts in to cook amazing meals for us every day. I never knew some dishes take hours to make.And I'm such a picky eater summore, but she really goes the extra mile to cook dishes that I'll enjoy. I never have to wonder, "What to eat today ah?" 'cause I know that my mum will be whipping up something super yummy. Thank youuuuu mummy! Love you!"- Gowri, 27 years old.

6. "I knew my wife was creative, but the MCO has given me a newfound respect for how amazing she is"

"At the start of the MCO, my wife put her creativity to work by gathering some musician friends to record songs that bring hope to others. I'm touched by her initiative to look beyond our personal needs and bless others.She has also helped me find creative ways to adapt to this season. At home, she's been picking out some of the best comedy movies to cheer us up. In fact, we haven't watched a movie together as a family for many, many years. It's been a great time bonding together!"- Kok Aun, 58 years old.

7. "Now that I have to cook for myself, I realise how much effort and love my mum usually puts in"

"I normally balik kampung once every two weeks to see my family, but things have been rather different since MCO. The one thing I miss the most is getting to eat my mum's cooking during Ramadan. Now that I have to cook for myself, I realise how much effort and love my mum puts in.Throughout the MCO, I've been calling home to get some of her famous recipes. The great thing is that her recipes always turn out exactly the same way she makes it, so my cravings are satisfied! I really miss her and my family, and I wish we could be together <3"- Zaidi, 27 years old.

To all the women who are going above and beyond, again and again, to ensure their families and friends are loved and looked after, we say thank you <3 You guys are the real MVPs!
