UM Barred Graduate From Attending His Convocation Fearing He Supports #TolakRasis Protest

A University of Malaya (UM) graduate posted a video on Facebook claiming that he was barred from his convocation because of fears that he might pull off the same protest as student activist Wong Yan Ke

Edan Kon Hua En posted a video saying he was ready to enter Dewan Tunku Chanselor when security guards stopped him on Tuesday, 15 October.

Kon said no one explained why he was not allowed to receive his scroll, but was told that guards were instructed by higher-ups not to let him into the hall

According to Free Malaysia Today, he said, "They failed to justify why I was barred. I even told them I just wanted to receive my scroll and that I wasn't going to carry out any protest."

The former Universiti Malaya Association of New Youth (UMANY) president also alleged that he was quarantined and even accompanied by security personnel when he went to the toilet.

He suspects that he was barred from the ceremony because he had written a Facebook post in support of Wong's protest.

The 23-year-old added that he is still unsure whether he would be allowed to receive his certificate.

UM has since released an official statement saying that the graduate was barred from the convocation ceremony as he posed a threat to public order

Image via Facebook

The statement read, "What we are concerned about are provocation efforts, playing on this seditious agenda that not only threaten the safety of the vice-chancellor, but more so, threaten the peace and public order, especially at UM."

It explained that Kon was found to have used his Facebook account to rally more graduates to stage a protest against the vice-chancellor.

Since Wong Yan Ke's recent protest, the university had tightened security at its convocation ceremonies.

When asked his opinion regarding the incident, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said that a convocation ceremony is not the right time nor place to voice dissent

While at the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2019 Forum, the Prime Minister said that Wong Yan Ke's actions were inappropriate as procedures and regulations are meant to be followed."They can demonstrate but there are other places to do that. Do not disturb a proper ceremony to show that you have certain views," he said, according to The Star.

Tun M also said that they would not interfere with any university matters. The university has filed a police report against Wong Yan Ke.

Instagram Influencer Gets Told Off For Damaging Plants In A KL Photoshoot

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has called out a Malaysian Instagram influencer for damaging public property during a photoshoot in the city centre

Last Saturday, 9 May, fashion entrepreneur Nur Liyana Abdul Rahman uploaded a video and picture on her Instagram account @leeyanarahman.co of one of her models lying down in the shrubbery at the River of Life (ROL) project in Kuala Lumpur.According to Malay Mail, her model, Iman Alyssa Sahabudin, was helped by the crew to lie back against the bushes to shoot a picture.In the video they uploaded, a loud snap was heard from the branches before they quickly pulled her back on her feet.Nur Liyana posted the results of their photoshoot to her 1.2 million followers with the caption, "Are women determined in everything they do or are they only good at taking photos? Women are willing to do anything to get beautiful photos right?""The saying is true, life needs sacrifices."

Image via Instagram @leeyanarahman.co

DBKL has since warned the influencer that she committed two offences at the waterfront which the government took the initiative to restore and beautify

"No matter who you are, or what your intentions were, you have committed an offence here," wrote DBKL in a Facebook post on the same day that her post went up."Firstly, you damaged property belonging to the Kuala Lumpur mayor under the Vandalism By-laws and secondly, you carried out filming without permission of the mayor," said DBKL, reminding everyone that activities such as photoshoots and filming carried out at ROL requires prior permission."The reason those flowers and shrubs were planted is for decoration and beautification, not to be destroyed by you."

Image via Instagram @leeyanarahman.co

ROL has also reprimanded Nur Liyana for her team's irresponsible behaviour and warned that action may be taken

Sharing Nur Liyana's video on their own Instagram account, they asked, "Is it worth sacrificing public property for one single photo?""There is a time and place for determination. If the plants are ruined, get ready to be compounded."

Netizens hope that DBKL will take action against the fashion designer so that impressionable followers would not do the same in the future

"It only takes two seconds for each person (to damage the plants). Imagine how many people in KL would do the same? Those shrubs will die. Why do they want to ruin nice things," wondered a Facebook user.

Image via Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur/Facebook

"Make them pay a compound and teach them manners through community service with DBKL for two to three months. That way nobody else will take these behaviours lightly," suggested another user.

While this netizen more heavily criticised, "Ask her and her crew to plant those shrubs, DBKL should only supply the plants and the landscaping tools. We want to see if they can stand the work of digging holes, measuring perimeters, and placing distance between each tree."He asked people to consider how much money the government spends on keeping the city beautiful and maintained.

Image via @myjoe_/Twitter

If you've always been a fan of McDonald's McNuggets, you'll be thrilled to know a "secret" about it which has been widely shared by Twitter users. According to them, the public could easily get nuggets that taste just like McNuggets by  buying First Pride's frozen nuggets. These nuggets can be easily found in local supermarkets.Most of these tweets have received thousands of retweets and likes so far.

Viral tweets saying that people could just buy and fry their own chicken McNuggets.

A search on Google on the best nuggets would tell you that the ones by First Pride have been recommended by many people over the years

There are several types of chicken nuggets offered by First Pride, but word has it that the 'Tempura Chicken Nuggets' share a similar taste to the nuggets sold at McDonald's in Malaysia.Some also said that the 'Home Spiced Tempura Chicken Nuggets' would be a better option for those who like their nuggets spicy.

Why the similarity in taste?

As pointed out by many, First Pride's frozen products are manufactured by MacFood Services Sdn Bhd, which is McDonald’s Malaysia’s main processing supplier for its protein products such as beef, chicken, and fish.MacFood, a subsidiary of US' Keystone Foods, also exports its products to several Middle East countries, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, and Hong Kong, among others.

Apparently some people have already made this discovery years ago

Photos Of A Trailer Carrying A Gigantic '500-Year-Old' Tree Trunk In Pahang Go Viral

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

Photos of a trailer carrying a colossal tree trunk in Temerloh, Pahang went viral on Facebook over the weekend

Based on the photos shared by environmentalist Khaidir Ahmad, the tree trunk was carried by a trailer that had seven wheels on each side.The gigantic log was cut in half and secured on the trailer with several metal chains. The photos are said to be taken at the East Coast Expressway (west-bound) rest area in Temerloh yesterday, 23 May.Writing in the post, Khaidir said he believes that the log is of the Chengal species, which is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List. Exports of the logs are banned and the species is often found in protected areas in Malaysia.He told Malaysiakini that the tree is estimated to be over 500 years old."It should not have been cut down and instead protected as a national heritage for future generations," said Khaidir, who is a former journalist."The Chengal tree is nearly extinct in Malaysia."

Image via Khaidir Ahmad (Facebook)

In less than a day, Khaidir's post had garnered over 5,200 shares. Many netizens expressed concern about the possibility of hidden hands that led to the logging of the purported half a millennium old tree.

After the photos went viral, the Pahang Forestry Department (JPNP) clarified that the log was not taken from any forest sites in Pahang

"Information on the lorry and timber tallied with what was stated in a transporting permit issued by the Terengganu Forestry Department," JPNP said."It is understood that the timber will be sent to the Evergrowth Timber Factory in Selangor."Sinar Harian reported JPNP as saying that the department appreciates the complaint on the matter, but wishes members of the public to report the matter to them directly so that action can be taken more swiftly."The department is always sensitive and responsible for all complaints reported to ensure that firm and immediate action can be taken to protect and preserve the state's forest treasures," it added.

Image via Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Pahang (Facebook)

Image via Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Pahang (Facebook)

Following JPNP's statement, Khaidir questioned why the Terengganu government is allowing entities to cut down the 'ancient' tree only to collect RM2,242.80 in taxes

According to him, Terengganu is an oil-rich state and that preserving the Chengal tree obviously outweighs the meagre RM2,000 collection in tax revenue."Why did the Terengganu Forestry Department just let the priceless natural treasure be cut down? Why did the Terengganu government approve a logging licence in the relevant area?" Khaidir demanded answers from the PAS-led state government.

Meanwhile, activists are asking the Federal government to stop the Melaka government from proceeding with a mega project that could potentially cause their 'last' public beach to be taken away:

The 'World's Smallest And Lightest' Laptop Adapter Debuts On Kickstarter

FINsix launches the 'world's smallest' laptop adapter on Kickstarter for USD79

Image via ytimg.com

Back at CES in January, MIT spin-off FINsix unveiled the "world's smallest" 65W laptop adapter. Fast forward to today, the company is launching this nifty device -- now dubbed the Dart -- on Kickstarter for as low as $79 per unit.

        time.com

This charger is four times smaller and six times lighter than its regular counterparts, and it also comes with a 2.1A USB port

Image via blogcdn.com

The enabling technology here is a highly efficient VHF (very high frequency) power conversion, as refined and patented by MIT. As you'd expect, the Dart is compatible with most laptops, and there's even a special version for MacBooks that don't need more than 65W of power.

        engadget.com

The first 1,000 backers will be able to grab a standard Dart for just $79 a pop, and latecomers will only have to fork out an extra $10 per piece. Both lots are cheaper than the $119 retail price, but rather than arriving in the summer as expected, these won't be shipped until November -- following product certification and field tests in the earlier months, of course.

        gigaom.com

Image via blogcdn.com

As for the limited MacBook version due December, the first 500 units will cost a staggering $148 each, followed by $168 each for the remaining 1,500 units. FINsix explained that this huge price bump is because it has to buy the original MacBook adapters (also $79 each), in order to repurpose the MagSafe and MagSafe 2 connectors for its Darts. The good news is that FINsix is also hoping to work out a long-term agreement with Apple, in order to offer the MagSafe Dart at a much lower price.

        geek.com

For this Kickstarter campaign, the Dart's aluminum body will be available in either blue, magenta, silver, gunmetal or orange

Image via aolcdn.com

The device is built with a US plug, but it'll work with different voltages and frequencies around the world, so non-US folks can just add a plug adapter. Since the Dart is geared towards road warriors, chances are its backers already have a travel adapter, anyway. FINsix has also previously told us that it's quite easy to scale the Dart in terms of power output, so here's hoping that the startup will consider a 90W or even a 150W version, for the sake of those chunky mobile workstation bricks.

        engadget.com

The story below was done before FINsix unveiled the adapter at CES in January 2014...

Image via hothardware.com

Power electronics innovator FINsix Corporation will unveil the world's smallest laptop adapter at the 2014 International CES show

A startup called FINsix has developed laptop power adapters that are 75 percent smaller than their conventional counterparts.

        technologyreview.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

The technology employed could also be used to improve the efficiency of a wide variety of devices and appliances, including washing machines and air conditioners.

        businesswire.com

It replaces a conventional charging brick with a device just a little bigger than an ordinary plug

The 65-watt power adapter—which delivers more power than many laptops use—can charge multiple devices at once. It will be available by the middle of next year.

        technologyreview.com

Image via o-digital.com

The power adapter is the first commercial application of a novel circuit design developed by David Perreault, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT

The researchers at MIT and FINsix developed a way to recycle much of the energy that’s normally lost inside a power adapter, improving efficiency and making it practical to use frequencies 1,000 times higher than those used in conventional power adapters.

        technologytell.com

Image via imageshack.us

“The rest of the field is making incremental changes and getting diminishing returns,” says Charles Sullivan, a professor of engineering at Dartmouth, who is not involved with the company. But FINsix, he says, is “leaping past that barrier.”

        businesswire.com

FINsix’s power adapter is an after-market charger that can work with a variety of laptops and other devices

Image via computerworld.com

The company is also working with a laptop manufacturer to produce a dedicated charger. The power adapter has the potential to be far cheaper than conventional ones, because it’s smaller, it’s simpler to manufacture, and it uses far less material.

        technologytell.com

In addition to shrinking power adapters, the new circuit design could reduce the size and cost of a variety of devices known collectively as power electronics

These devices manipulate electricity, changing properties such as voltage and converting between AC and DC power; they can precisely control the power that goes to electric motors and compressors.

        technologyreview.com

Better power electronics can improve the efficiency of, say, household air conditioners, but they typically aren’t used in such applications because of their high cost.

"They're Useless" — Employee Quits Job After 3 Days With A Mandarin Pun

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

A post on Facebook went viral after an employer lost her cool and vented her frustrations about an employee who quit on his third day of work

The employer, who simply goes by Victoria, posted her frustrations on a Malaysian-Chinese group called KL娱乐站. Cutting right to the chase, she explained what had been bothering her for awhile."This is the attitude of people nowadays. It is no wonder that those born after the year 2000 (though not all) are often called out because of people like this."In the post, Victoria went on to detail how the worker asked for sick leave seven minutes before he was due to start his shift on the first day of work. Claiming he had a fever, Victoria approved it accordingly and carried on with her day. On the second day, the employee didn't show up to work once again, and hadn't given Victoria any notice prior to his absence. Saying that he was still feeling unwell, Victoria only received this response from the worker after she sent him their work schedule with the details of his shift.

The text message exchange between Victoria and the undisclosed former worker (including timestamps).
Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

However, things soon got worse when on the third day, he sent Victoria a play on words to convey that he would be resigning from the job entirely

In his final message, the worker wrote to Victoria saying, in translation, "It is raining outside and the clothes on the balcony can't dry. The same goes for me, who does not want to work anymore."When interpreting his sentence, the symbol of '干' in Mandarin, which is meant to communicate the word "dry", can also be used in reference to one working at their job, which were his exact words in quitting thereafter. Ultimately, he used a play on words when communicating his resignation to his boss.

The 'pun' as communicated by the former worker.
Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

Closing off her post, Victoria stated that she understood how someone can be sick on their first day of work, and despite informing her late, informed her nonetheless. However, if he remained sick on the second day of work, it was his duty to inform her of his absence, which he did not do.

Since being published, the post has sparked a wider conversation on the behaviour of Generation Z when conducting themselves in the workplace environment

Comments varied back and forth, with many siding Victoria, while others also criticised her.One person opined, "Your working hours begin at 11.30am but you informed of your absence at 11.23am? Doesn't it usually take you one to two hours to get ready before leaving? The way certain people think really has me speechless."Somewhat piggybacking off this response was another user who cheekily stated, "It turns out that a lot of people who need to be at work at 11.30am start getting ready at 11.23am."

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

An additional user stated that being sick was an excuse from the outset, to which Victoria stated how she is unsure about it really being an excuse or not.

Image via KL娱乐站 (Facebook)

However, Victoria also received a lot of push back from those who criticised her for not having compassion, that people will not know if they're sick in advance of catching an illness.Rather brashly, one person commented, "You are hilarious. You wrote this post as a joke, but don't you feel like a fool? You'd prefer if your workers informed you beforehand of being sick? How can they be sure?" while another asked, "Will you know that you'll be sick tomorrow, today? Teach me how you came about this."

While many more similar comments came in relating to the same accusation, Victoria took matters into her own hands and edited her response into the bottom of the caption in her post."A lot of people in the comments are asking how one can know they're sick in advance. That's not the point. I didn't ask you to tell me in advance that you're sick. But if the store opens at 11.30am, and you tell me at 11.23am that you're sick and need to take leave, how am I supposed to find your replacement in seven minutes?"

Indomie Released A BBQ Version Of Mi Goreng And It Has Its Own Packet Of Potato Chips

From haze to football fights, Malaysia and Indonesia may not always see eye to eye.
However, if there was one thing that could unite us, it would probably be our undying love for Indomie.

If you're a big fan of these sinful noodles, then you've probably heard of the Indomie Mi Goreng-flavoured potato chips

Chitato, an Indonesian brand best known for their crinkle-cut potato chips, released chips that taste just like the instant noodles back in 2016.

Image via Coconuts

Mi Goreng-flavoured potato chips was the perfect crossover.

Our latest addition to the family, Mi Goreng Chitato Beef BBQ- noodles made with potato starch and potato chips topping,...Posted by Indomie Malaysia on Monday, 9 December 2019

Image via SAYS

As its name suggests, the Mi Goreng Chitato Beef BBQ instant noodles have a smoky, barbecue flavour

Image via SAYS

There's even crushed up Chitato chips in the packet

Image via SAYS

Besides the potato chips, another thing that makes these noodles special is that they are made with potato starch, unlike the original one which uses wheat flour

Image via SAYS

With all the condiments mixed together, the noodles are packed with flavour

The umami taste of the soy sauce goes well with the nuttiness of the sesame oil, while the hint of spiciness from the chili helps pull all the flavours together.The crunch from the crushed up Chitato chips also adds a fun texture!

Image via SAYS

While the BBQ flavour is pretty mild, it's still a great bowl of instant noodles

One could never go wrong with Indomie, regardless the flavour!According to Indomie Malaysia's Facebook page, you can find the Indomie Mi Goreng Chitato Beef BBQ at your nearest convenience store.We bought ours from Jaya Grocer for RM1.99 a packet.

[PHOTOS] Target Under Fire For Cropping Out Genital Area Of Swimsuit Models

Ellen Meets A Model With Really Long Arms That Reveal The Truth About Photoshopped Target Ads

Those are some super long arms..
Image via huffpost.com

If there's anyone who could make light of a terrible Photoshop fail, it's Ellen DeGeneres. She reminds us just how ridiculous those Target swimsuit ads from last month were on her talk show this week. You know, the one with the crotch cut out and arms reaching past the model's knees. Ellen decided to give the model a chance to explain just how much the photo was actually retouched. But when Tanya Marie Keller hit the stage, there was something a bit ... long about her.

        elle.com

It took the audience no time to realize that she was actually wearing Barbie-esque arm extensions. Keller was a sport about the whole thing, placing her awkwardly long "arms" on Ellen's chair, and hilariously attempting to take a sip of water. Watch the hilarious video below:

        huffingtonpost.com

Of course, the underlying issue is that the Photoshop fails are happening in the first place. But this lighthearted spoof on the matter is refreshing -- and perhaps can send a message to retailers that these unrealistic retouch jobs are just not OK.

Photoshop fails have become more common than ever, with various retailers chopping off limbs and backsides. So it's really no surprise that Target is the most recent culprit to distort a model.

The retouched photos promote Xhiliration-brand ‘Midkinis’ – part of a juniors’ line of clothing that is aimed at teenagers and young adults.

Photoshopping allegations were first made on Jezebel, which noticed that photos of the label’s leopard print midkini had been cut away at the genital area, creating what appears to be a ‘square thigh gap’.

"In what appears to be an attempt to make her legs look longer/bottom half look smaller, the model is missing a piece of her vagina."

Angry Protests By Icelanders Have Kicked Their PM Out Of Duty After #PanamaPapers Leak

Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson has been under intense pressure to step down ever since the Panama Papers issue broke out

Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson stepped down on Tuesday, 5 April.

The prime minister of Iceland has been accused of hiding millions of dollars of investments in his country's banks behind a secretive offshore company.Leaked documents show that Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson and his wife bought offshore company Wintris in 2007.The offshore company was used to invest millions of dollars of inherited money, according to a document signed by Mr Gunnlaugsson's wife Anna Sigurlaug Palsdottir in 2015.

        bbc.com

Thousands of Icelanders have been protesting in the streets to demonstrate against his administration, for allegedly using a shell company to shelter large sums while the country's economy was suffering a major crisis

Thousands turned out Monday, 4 April, to protest Iceland's prime minister outside the parliament in Reykjavik, a day after the release of the massive Panama Papers leak.Police estimated the crowd at 8,000 people, which duty officer Arnar Runar Marteinsson said is the largest protest he had ever seen in Reykjavik, the Associated Press reported.National Security Agency whistle-blower Edward Snowden tweeted Monday afternoon about the Iceland protest, questioning if it was the "largest protest by percentage of population in history." The nation has a population of nearly 330,000.

After widespread calls for his resignation, Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson stepped down Tuesday, 5 April -- an apparent casualty of the Panama Papers leaks. Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson, the deputy chair of Gunnlaugsson's Progressive Party, announced the resignation on national public broadcaster RUV.He said Gunnlaugsson will remain head of the Progressive Party -- which might not go down well with some Icelanders who want nothing to do with him.

        cnn.com

Meanwhile, major sites like Al Jazeera and CNN have reported that Iceland's Agriculture Minister, Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson has been appointed to replace the PM for an interim period

However, the Prime Minister's office in Iceland has issued a press statement to clarify that the PM has not resigned, but instead has stepped aside for the Progressive Party Vice-Chairman to take over "for an unspecified amount of time"

In a press release sent to international media outlets, the spokesman of Iceland’s Prime Minister claims the PM did NOT resign yesterday.Instead the Prime Minister only asked the Party’s vice chairman to “take over the office of Prime Minister for an unspecified amount of time.” Political observers have described this latest course of events as “farcical” and a game of semantics.Richard Milne, Financial Times' Nordic correspondent was first to publish the full text of the press release.

        visir.is

The Guardian reported that many Icelanders were happy to hear that the PM has "resigned" but remained cynical as the same government is still in charge

“Of course we’re happy the prime minister has stepped down. But we are not satisfied with who is taking over from him, and with the fact that the government itself is still there,”  said Steingrimur Oli Einarsson, a fish oil trader, one of a few hundred to brave a freezing northeasterly wind on parliament square in downtown Reykjavik.Outside parliament, Sigrin Eiroksdottir, a pre-school teacher, said the occasion “doesn’t really feel like any kind of victory. There is so much still to put right in this country in terms of ethics, of how the world looks at us.” Lara Gardarsdottir, an illustrator, said: “It’s good news he’s resigned, yes. But we need far more drastic change. We’re left with the same gang in charge. And the guy who’s replacing the prime minister, a couple of days ago he was saying he saw nothing wrong in what he’d done.”

Aside from Gunnlaugsson, documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca, revealed dozens of prominent public figures' names that are allegedly linked to secretive shell companies and offshore tax shelters

The leaked papers cover nearly 215,000 companies and 14,153 clients of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. Shared with reporters at 100 news media outlets working in 25 languages, the documents include politicians, celebrities, sports figures and close associates of some of the world’s most powerful people, like President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and members of China’s ruling Politburo.

According to the documents uncovered in the leak, he had held directorships in two companies based in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), namely Jay Marriot International and PCJ International Venture Limited.However, this does not imply any wrongdoing on his part.“There are legitimate uses for offshore companies, foundations and trusts. We do not intend to suggest or imply that any persons, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Power Players interactive application have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly,” said the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which led the investigation together with Germany-based newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Amar Singh: "We Are Carrying Out Our Duty Without Fear Or Favour"

Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Director Commissioner Amar Singh has advised former Federal Territories UMNO Youth chief Razlan Rafii, who warned him to stop talking about 1MDB, to not to make empty vessel statements

"At this point in time, the case which is ongoing in court (involving Najib) is related to SRC International Sdn Bhd funds and not 1MDB."He (Razlan) can say anything he wants, as long as it does not violate the country's laws," New Straits Times quoted the CCID Director Commissioner said in his no-nonsense demeanour which has earned him the title of "Singh is King" among netizens.Describing the so-called warning by UMNO's Razlan, who warned him to stop giving statements related to the 1MDB case, as something coming from "tin kosong" (empty tin can), Amar Singh added that Razlan's warning did not hold water and that he has no time to waste and give any attention to the Seputeh UMNO division chief."I wouldn't waste my time on him, nor pay heed to his statement as he's got the whole 'interim gag order' wrong. Empty vessels make the most noise."

Image via NST Online

Amar Singh, who found unexpected Internet fame amidst investigations into the scandal-plagued 1MDB, also said that he would continue to do his work fairly without taking any sides

"We are carrying out our duty without fear or favour and we do this professionally," the head of Bukit Aman’s CCID added.Razlan had warned Amar Singh and MACC on Thursday to stop talking about 1MDB in view of the temporary gag order issued by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, allegedly to prevent the former prime minister Najib Razak from undergoing a trial by media."MACC and Amar: Stop talking about 1MDB. Don't let the media judge Najib. I am warning you," the UMNO leader could be heard saying in a video by Malaysiakini."Don't be so eager to talk about this and that list, about the millions seized... RM1.1 billion. There is no truth to these negative matters and it prejudices Najib in the eyes of the people. Whether he is guilty or not, let the courts decide. Civil servants shouldn't play this perception game," Razlan had said in his warning.

The CCID Director Commissioner also responded to Najib's son Mohd Nazifuddin who questioned the motive behind the recent series of raids and press conferences conducted by the police

"Isn't it a standard operating procedure (SOP) not to share such details while investigations are ongoing? Is it done just to further ostracise my father?" Mohd Nazifuddin had asked on Thursday, according to a report in The Star Online.To which, Amar Singh said that the police adhered to the standard operating procedure (SOP) in conducting the raids and press conferences on the matter."We have a duty to the public to disclose what we discovered and seized. There is no question of not adhering to the SOP."It is the same as any other raid, such as a drug raid where we disclosed the items seized as well as its value," The Star Online quoted Amar Singh as saying.

Human Resources Minister Says He Never Called Malays "Pendatang" But Apologises Still

Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran has cleared the air on reports that he made a controversial comment about Malays in a speech in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan last week

Image via Malaysian Update

While speaking at a Hindu temple on Friday, 27 July, Kulasegaran touched on the long history of the Indians and the Hindu religion on Malay soil.According to Malay Mail, he said that it was unfair for the Indian community to be called immigrants as Hinduism was one of the earliest religions practised by the people in the Malay archipelago, citing the archaeological discoveries in Kedah's Lembah Bujang area, including the discovery of Sungai Batu, as proof.In a report by Utusan Malaysia, the Ipoh Barat MP was said to have called Malays "pendatang" (immigrant), while claiming that Indians were the original residents of Malaysia.

The politician has since apologised for causing hurt with his remarks and explained that his words had been misconstrued

"I hereby unreservedly apologise for the hurt I may have caused and withdraw the offensive references in that extemporaneous speech," said the MP."I am not and have never been a controversialist on issues of race and religion in our country and will always abide by what has been enshrined in our Federal Constitution," read his statement published today, 30 July.

Kulasegaran explained that his speech was made in the Tamil language, and that "words are so chameleon-like they often take on different meanings in different languages"

Image via Wow Berita

"To halt that drift in the matter of my remarks at a function in Nilai last week, I have decided to apologise and withdraw them to prevent the controversy from worsening," said the DAP national vice chairman."I am sorry for any hurt I may have caused," he said.Penang UMNO Youth will be lodging a police report against the minister for an investigation into his remarks, The Malaysian Insight reported.


S'porean Toddler Sustains Nasty 7CM Gash On Face After Falling Forward Onto A Water Bottle

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

A toddler in Singapore sustained a nasty wound on his face when he fell forward onto a water bottle he was carrying at the time

According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident was captured on the home closed-circuit television (CCTV), where the toddler could be seen falling down and the helper, who was taking care of the toddler at the time, trying to catch him.The toddler's father, surnamed Wen, said the incident happened "in a matter of seconds"."My one-and-a-half-year-old boy was drinking from his water bottle when he accidentally slipped and fell. The water bottle connected to his face, and ripped up a chunk of his skin on the forehead and eyebrow. My helper was just standing right beside him as it all unfolded, and it happened very fast," Wen said.He also said that the helper sought help from a neighbour to bring the toddler to the emergency room as Wen was on a business trip in Canada at the time of the incident on 14 August. Wen's wife, who is a nurse, was also not at home.

The CCTV footage captured the moment Wen's son fell and injured his face.
Image via Shin Min Daily News 新明日报 (Facebook)

Wen reported that his son was bleeding profusely from the site of the wound and had to be taken to the emergency room to receive treatment

The gash was measured to be at 7cm long and the child had to receive 16 stitches between his eyebrows. Wen's son also had to be hospitalised overnight to monitor his condition. According to the report, the child was treated at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore.  Wen expressed his fear that his son might be 'disfigured' from this incident. Stomp reported him as saying that his son might be faced with discrimination and bullying from his peers at school due to the potential scar the gash might leave on his face."I'm very concerned about his future, his childhood, the potential teasing/bullying/life opportunities, and just all the bad stuff that could happen from such a disfigurement," he lamented.

Image via Shin Min Daily News 新明日报 (Facebook)

Wen allegedly attributed the severity of the injury due to the way the child's water bottle was shaped

Speaking with Stomp, Wen wondered why an "award-winning" children's water bottle could have caused such "permanent damage" to his son. Wen had purchased the bottle on an e-commerce website, disregarding the price as he was prioritising his son's safety over the cost of the bottle."The bottle was rated for babies older than six months in the listing, and they even included pictures of infants using it on their ad listing. I want the company to explain to me, as a parent of the child affected, how your cup is sharp enough to slice a baby's face to this degree?" he questioned.Shin Min Daily News had reached out to a representative of the brand who specialises in mother care and baby products.The representative expressed concern towards the child and has wished him a speedy recovery."All of our products, including the water bottle in question, have undergone rigorous quality control and safety testing by reputable laboratories to demonstrate compliance with the highest international safety standards," they said.Wen is allegedly seeking legal advice from lawyers and is considering taking action against the business.

A Student Plunged 200ft To Her Death After Jumping Into The Air To Pose For A Photo

A 23-year-old Korean student, who jumped in the air to pose for a photo over the Seven Sisters cliffs in East Sussex, fell to her death

According to a report in the BBC, South Korean international student Hyewon Kim had taken a trip to Cuckmere Haven in East Sussex on her own on 22 June this year.She asked a stranger to take her picture, but as she jumped in the air for the shot she lost her footing and fell 200 feet down the cliff, suffering catastrophic injuries.

Sightseers pose by the cliffs.
Image via Mail Online

The cause of death was recorded as misadventure

"This was an incredibly sad incident leading to the unnecessary loss of a very young life. What we would say is to urge people to stay well away from cliff edges," BBC quoted Mark Webb from East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service as saying on 12 October.Mark added that the day before the incident there was a very severe rock fall in the same sort of area, a clear indication of how some of these cliff edges are very unstable.

According to Det Sergeant Tod Stewart, one of the responders on the scene, police found six photos of the student close to the cliffs, all showing her jumping in the air extremely close to the edge

Det Sgt Tod Stewart, from Sussex Police CID, said that the 23-year-old student's concentration was not on anything other than what she is doing."The expression on her face shows nothing but enjoyment," he added.
