Report Says Celcom Has Best 4G Availability But Maxis Is Better When It Comes To Downloads

Mobile analytics company Opensignal recently released its fifth 'Mobile Network Experience Report' for Malaysia - and the findings are definitely interesting

Opensignal is also known internationally as the independent global standard for analysing consumer mobile experience.The data was collected over a period of three months, from 1 December to 28 February.Drawing from its active user base in Malaysia, the report involved 744,691 devices.

Here are five key highlights from the report:

1. Maxis and Celcom tie as the best network operators in Malaysia

In Opensignal's 'Mobile Experience Awards', both network operators received two awards each and tied in one category. Maxis was found to have the best download speed experience and latency experience, while Celcom had the best 4G availability and upload speed experience.Both telcos tied for best video experience, which calculates picture quality, video loading time, and stall rate.

2. However, video experience in Malaysia could be better improved

The two telcos received a "Good" rating, which according to the report, simply means "users do experience waiting time before a video begins playing and interruptions in playback, low-resolution video streaming is generally consistent".It should be noted that in Opensignal's 'State of Mobile Video' report, which was released in September, Malaysia had placed in the "Fair" category - below neighbours Thailand and Vietnam.

3. Malaysia's 4G availability is better, but growth is slow

"The scores from Malaysia's leaders in this category were relatively flat now that they've exceeded the 80% mark," wrote Kevin Fitchard in the report.He added, "Celcom won our 4G Availability award as it was able to supply an LTE connection to our users 86.8% of the time." The other operators measures were Maxis, DiGi, U Mobile, and Unifi.Although U Mobile placed last in 4G availability, it had seen significant progress in the last six months.

4. For those in Penang and Kuala Lumpur, Yes offers the best 4G availability

"In those two markets, regional 4G operator Yes won our 4G Availability awards with scores above 95%, which represents an exceptional level of LTE access," the report said.

5. Ipoh also stood out among 11 cities analysed for having the best upload and download speed experience across the board

The report said that "nearly every single operator" in Ipoh "exceeded their national averages in both [Opensignal's] Download Speed and Upload Speed Experience metrics".Ipoh is also one of only three cities where Opensignal recorded an individual Download Speed Experience score greater than 20 Mbps.

There's A House In Puchong Where People Can Stay For Only RM1 Per Night

RM1! That is all a person needs to give in order to stay overnight at a house in Puchong.

Image via Utusan Online

Social activist, Kuan Chee Heng's latest efforts to help the poor is to offer not just one but two houses for those who are truly in need of temporary shelter in the Klang Valley region.Kuan, the Community Policing Malaysia Association president, is known for his various initiatives that benefit the poor, from the '10 Sen Ambulance' to 'Pasar 10 Sen' programmes, where people could enjoy the services or get new clothing for only 10 cents.He got this idea to set up the 'RM1 House' after he realised the hardships that families have to face when they cannot afford to rent accommodations but a family member is sick and hospitalised somewhere away from their home. He noticed that some had resorted to sleeping along the corridors in the hospital or in their car while waiting for their family member to seek medical treatment.

The two houses in Taman Puchong Utama are furnished with all basic amenities in place. Occupants are also allowed to use all the facilities provided.

With the help of sponsors, Kuan managed to cover the cost incurred for renovation, purchase of electrical and home appliances, and furniture that amounts to almost RM80,000. It was learned that each room in the house is equipped with beds, mattresses, closets, and water heater. There is also a television, washing machine, and a kitchen.Thanks to some of his 200,000 followers on Facebook, the kitchen is fully stocked as they have generously donated food items and some toiletries. According to Kuan, there are plans to add a desktop computer with Wi-Fi access later.

Besides the relatives of hospitalised patients, Kuan also welcomed occupants who were victims of fires or abuse, or senior citizens who are in need of shelter

According to Kuan, one of the first few visitors that are currently occupying the house is a family whose house burnt down on Tuesday night.Those who wish to rent the house do not need to provide any documents or fill up any forms, but Kuan stressed that it is very important to be honest.  "No forms to fill up, no documents needed, just come and try. We are not rigid with the rules. The condition is that you must be someone in need," he told Malaysiakini.

Occupants are also welcomed to stay for as long as they need but they are expected to follow some basic guidelines

"The concept is to pay RM1 for each night. Each house can accommodate up to nine occupants at one time, and the amount can be increased if the need arises." "Occupants need to ensure the cleanliness of the house and they are not allowed to have sex or bring non-halal food and beef out of respect for the various religious communities," he was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian.Those who wish to stay in one of these two houses may personally contact Kuan on Facebook.

Kudos, Mr Kuan for the great initiative!

7 Quirky Wedding Themes You Can Only Pull Off If Your Parents Were As Cool As You

Photos of a couple with a pristine white coffin featured prominently in their wedding photo shoot have been making their rounds all over the interwebs

Jenny Tay, 29, and her fiance Darren Cheng, 30, have opted for a casket as a prop in a series of pictures taken for their wedding in October. Their reason? They are dead serious about their profession and their wedding. Both are in the funeral trade."Our business is very much a part of our lives," said Ms Tay, managing director of Direct Funeral Services. "When couples take wedding pictures, many of them think of something significant and meaningful to them - their favourite cafe, the place where they first met. Both of us are very passionate about our jobs, so I thought, why not?"

        straitstimes.com

Despite the offbeat theme, the couple's photos are receiving praises for their originality

"Bravo to Jenny and Darren! They are very daring in their choice for a wedding shoot and I think it's paid off," said a Facebook user."It's literally 'til death do us part'," said another."I think their shoot is creative and very tastefully done," said Molly Sim on Facebook. "It's a very nice change from the cookie cutter wedding shoots that we see done at Marina Bay Sands or Sentosa all the time.""This is what you call 'thinking out of the box' - something their children and grandchildren will talk about for decades," said another user Jeffrey Poh.

This is just one of many instances that prove wedding themes don't necessarily have to be conventional. A shared passion by the bride and groom can result in the most unusually beautiful wedding! Here are some ideas:

1. Adventure Time: a happy ending for the real-life Finn & Princess Bubblegum

Fans of Finn & Jake's adventures can add plenty of cool elements to give the wedding reception a cheery twist! Keep it geeky-chic with Ice Mountain-inspired invitations and Finn & Princess Bubblegum cake toppers.Brides don't have to go all out trying to locate Princess Bubblegum's kooky crown just to stick to the theme; some Ice King earrings would work just as well. Food can take on a playful turn featuring the whole gang, from Beemo brownies to Finn macarons.Photo booths featuring character cut-outs are bound to be adorable, while the bride and groom themselves can snap some shots with their favourite comic for their wedding photos.

2. Game of Thrones: nothing like the Red Wedding

Game of Thrones and happy weddings usually go together like a Lannister and a Stark — not at all. But who  wouldn't be tempted to break Westerosi traditions and throw a Game of Thrones-themed wedding with (spoiler alert) a happy ending?

        mashable.com

Try a little wordplay on the Stark house motto for the invites; "Wedding is coming" sure has a nice ring to it! To get that ethereal feel, have an outdoor wedding.Wow your guests with a dramatic wedding cake topped with the Iron Throne and serve up a medieval feast for the hungry guests, complemented by beautifully rustic table décor.

3. Lego: from colourful-bricks cakes to character cuff links

Everything is awesome! Especially when you have bright-coloured blocks for your wedding inspiration. Lego letterpress wedding invitations are great to let guests know the fun they can expect at your upcoming reception.The bride can opt for a whimsical touch with Lego heels while the groom can use favourite Lego characters as cuff links.Add splashes of colour to the desserts, from Lego people cookies to the Instagram-ready wedding cake. An idea for guest activity: set up a Lego counter that guests can play with and take home as wedding favours!

4. Star Wars: get hitched the galactic way!

Geek-chic doesn't get any better with a Star Wars-themed wedding! The groomsmen would probably not complain over having to swap their suits for robes and lightsabers while the bridesmaids can get inspired by Queen Amidala's fierce fashion styles. For the bride, how about an adorable pair of R2-D2 heels? Also, what's an intergalactic union without a Han Solo and Princess Leia cake topper? The theme is also great for creating a juxtaposition effect, from beautiful floral arrangements held together by a Death Star vase, to centerpieces made up of Boba Fett helmets and feminine florals.

5. Zombie: a celebration of the couple's undying love

What's a wedding of the undead without full-on zombie get-up for the wedding party? Invest in a special effects make-up artist to get a super realistic look. If the wee flower girls are up for it, get them in character too! To infuse the elegance of a wedding and the savageness of the undead, a fun mix of classy and grisly can be applied to most areas, from the invitations to the wedding cake. Due to its gory nature, this theme may not go down well with both sides of the family too easily. Alternatively, there's always the option of using the theme for the pre-wedding photo shoot instead!

6. Minecraft: make sure to keep the party creeper-free!

Couples who enjoy building a house together in the Minecraft world may be inspired by this theme when building a home together in real life. Deck the wedding halls with life-sized pixel-trees and add a fun touch to the bride and groom's outfits with 8-bit neckties and 'diamond' pendants.The wedding cake is probably best in its lovable 8-bit format, topped with the bride and groom in Minecraft form. For the desserts buffet, don't forget to include creeper cupcakes and (sweet) TNT supplies!

7. Pokemon: what's more romantic than "I choose you!"?

Pokemon-loving pairs, rejoice! A wedding this cheery is bound to inspire smiles all around. The bride and her girly crew would look adorable with Pokemon-inspired manicure, while the groom and his men can opt for Pokemon-printed bow ties.The versatile Pokeball design can be used in many ways for the wedding décor, including chair back covers and floral bouquets. Pokeball sugar cookies can double as a desserts buffet item as well as wedding favours, while Pikachu pops would probably catch the attention of the young (and young at heart).

8. Minions: an ode to Kevin, Bob, Stuart and the gang

Come on, no eye-rolls now! A Minions-themed wedding doesn't necessarily have to be tacky. The blue-and-yellow colour scheme can work wonders as a wedding colour palette. Brides can add a playful pop of colour to their white wedding dress with a pair of yellow heels.Lemon cupcakes (topped with a Minion eye or two) would be a great addition to the buffet line, while health-conscious guests may appreciate the Minions' love for bananas.

With so many superheroes to choose from (DC heroes? the Marvel men? Then there's also Power Rangers...), there are endless possibilities to add a power-packed punch to the wedding reception. Groomsmen and bridesmaids can choose from wearing subtle hero t-shirts under their formal wear, or going all out with the full costumes! Try something different for snacks; swap the desserts bar for a comical cereal bar instead!The wedding cake is sure to be show-stopper, with each tier dedicated to each of the couple's favourite heroes! A keepsake idea: instead of a normal guest book, have guests sign a superhero poster that the couple can later on hang in their new home!

The Runaway Maid That Cost This Woman RM185,000

Blind trust in her maid resulted in a businesswoman losing RM185,000 worth of jewellery after the former ran off with it  on Tuesday.

Rossazannah Omar, 48, noticed the theft two hours after the 23-year-old maid had disappeared

Boutique owner Rossazannah Omar, 48, who operates the outlet in Section 7 here said the theft was discovered about two hours after the maid had disappeared.

        thestar.com.my

Rossazannah Omar, 48, said she felt something amiss when she returned to her shop from a meeting at 11am and the 23-year-old maid was not around.

        nst.com.my

Rossazannah Omar left the maid and her daughter at her boutique in the morning but they were not there anymore when she returned at 11am

She said that on the day of the incident, she had sent the maid and her youngest child, aged six, to the boutique before attending a meeting in Damansara.
Upon returning about 11am, neither the maid nor her child were at the boutique.

        thestar.com.my

"She (the maid) was supposed to send my daughter to school at 1.30pm, but I later learned she had left the house before 11am. When I checked with the teacher, my daughter was there but the maid had disappeared,"

        malaysiandigest.com

"After waiting for over an hour, I began to feel uncomfortable, and on inspecting the maid's suitcase which she had left behind, I found it empty," she told reporters at her residence here today.

Later, Rossazannah found that the child was left at a school, safe and sound, but when she returned to her residence, all her jewellery and a smart phone were missing.

The boutique's CCTV captured the maid leaving the shop in Shah Alam with a trash bag

A review of her shop's closed-circuit television footage revealed that the maid left the shop carrying a trash bag, she added.

        malaysiandigest.com

She said it was weird because her shop did not generate much waste.
She added that the maid had even adjusted the clock to two hours ahead to trick her daughter into believing that she was late for school.

Rossazannah Omar later found a calendar with the date 8 Oct circled with the world "lari" in the maid's room

"Later, I discovered all my jewellery missing from the cupboard in my house. I found drawings and notes in the maid's room.

        nst.com.my

"She had drawn a calendar on a piece of paper and circled the date Oct 8 with the word lari (flee) next to it," she said, adding that she had reported the theft at a police station in Section 9 here.

"I treated her like a family member, I brought her on overseas trips and even sent some money to her family for Hari Raya so that they would have some extra money to celebrate.

However, she suspected that the maid was having a relationship with an Indonesian man who worked nearby

Police is looking for Wijayanti @ Wati to investigate the jewellery theft

Rossazannah, who procured the maid's service online from a local in Putrajaya, hoped those with information on the whereabouts of the maid would contact her.
She has lodged a police report at the Shah Alam police headquarters.

Razer Just Made A Smartphone For Gamers

Gaming company Razer is officially in the smartphone business.
The 12-year-old company recently unveiled its debut smartphone to the world, aptly named the Razer Phone.

Image via Razer

The possibility of a Razer-developed smartphone has been a topic of discussion in the tech and gaming world ever since the company acquired smartphone maker Netbix earlier this year.Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan put the rumour mill to rest on Wednesday when he introduced the device during the company's keynote in London.

It might look like any other smartphone at first glance; but when you dig deep inside, you'd find a beast that's capable of high-end, demanding mobile gaming

Image via Razer

Billed as a phone for gamers, the Razer Phone is powered by Android and comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, 64GB of storage, 8GB of RAM (which is equivalent to the amount of memory that comes in most PCs), a dual 12-megapixel rear camera, and 8-megapixel front shooter.Best of all, a 5.72-inch, Quad HD IGZO LCD screen, with 120Hz capabilities. Gaming, or any visual tasks for that matter, will be buttery smooth.It's basically a PC in smartphone form.

The smartphones comes equipped with Android Nougat 7.1.1

Image via Razer

You can also expect the Razer Phone to use Android Nougat 7.1.1. when it arrives, while Android Oreo 8.0 is expected to be added in the beginning of next year.

Razer opted for a low-key approach to the body design, a stark difference from the bright colours of its keyboards and gaming mice

Image via Razer

"We didn’t start out trying to make a gaming phone, but rather a phone for gamers. Something you wouldn’t be embarrassed about pulling out in public. And it had to have the highest performance both on paper and in real life benchmarks," said Tom Moss, head of Razer’s mobile business. That's kinda true. You don't want to walk around with a disco ball right?

You'll have to fork out USD699 (about RM2,960) to get your hands on the Razer Phone

Image via lowyat.net

The smartphone is expected to ship on 17 November. But of course, it remains to be seen whether Razer’s first smartphone will be made available in Malaysia.For more details, drop by Razer's official website here.

Still cheaper than the iPhone X though:

George Town is a busy, thriving city with a large expat community that has managed to retain its colonial charm (it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The city is affordable, with a tropical climate, an intriguing culture and gorgeous white-sand beaches.George Town’s total population is about 740,000, small enough that it’s easy to make friends and meet people, yet big enough to mean health care that meets international standards and easy availability of the goods and services most retirees are looking for. Year-round sunshine, first world infrastructure, turn-key permanent residency and English-speaking locals make the living here easy. This is a paradise for food lovers and, all things considered, one of the most livable cities in Southeast Asia.

The Universally Loved (Or Is It Hated?) Bitstrips Comic App Bags $3 Million Investment

Bitstrips acquires a $3 million Series A investment from venture capital firm Horizons Ventures

Bitstrips has taken over Facebook News Feeds since its mobile app launch in October, and our very own Dusten Carlson even wrote about how to hide the comics.
While many users have become annoyed, the creators have three million new reasons to plot further World domination.

        socialnewsdaily.com

Image via wordpress.com

According to TechCrunch, Bitstrips has received $3 million in Series A funding from Horizons Ventures.
CEO Jacob Blackstock says the investment will help the company to expand worldwide since it’s currently only available in English.

        techcrunch.com

Image via comicbookresources.com

The money will be used to build out the product and the Bitstrips team, which is currently 17 members strong. CEO Jacob Blackstock, a.k.a. "BA," hopes to grow that number to 25 "in the next few months."

        comicbookresources.com

That employee growth seems necessary given Bitstrips' user growth. After launching the Bitstrips iOS app on Oct. 1, users created more than 30 million avatars in a two-month stretch, Blackstock said, bringing the total number of Bitstrips avatars to well over 40 million.

        mashable.com

Here's explaining those highly addictive 'comic strips' that are popping up on your Facebook news feed..

It's the latest app to take the smartphone by storm and you might have noticed that it's brought a touch of colour to your Facebook news feed.

        dailymail.co.uk

The app isn't exactly new -- the company launched its Facebook app in December 2012 -- but it just released its iPhone app at the end of September and updated it earlier this week, along with its Android app. And Bitstrips seems to be catching on.

        go.com

Image via motleyvision.org

Bitstrips allows users to turn themselves into a cartoon alter-ego and amuse (or perhaps annoy) their friends in the form of a digital comic strip.

        refinery29.com

But if you're already getting fed up your Facebook friends' attempts at cartoon humour, things are only going to get worse.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via guardianlv.com

A new, updated version of the app was released earlier this week - with more than 1,000 different cartoon templates to choose from.

        firstcoastnews.com

A staggering number of more than 11 million users have downloaded the Bitstrips app which creates a Facebook cartoon avatar of yourself

Since its initial launch, the app has been downloaded a staggering 11million times and many people are seeing it as the new way to post a Facebook status.
Users create an avatar that resembles themselves and their friends - choosing different hairstyles and fashions to match their own.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via campusab.com

App Data, a website that tracks app downloads, today listed BitStrips as the top downloaded app in Apple's App Store and in the Google Play Android store.

        firstcoastnews.com

One of the aspects that seems to make the service so addicting is that there are more than 1,000 comic templates, and the company adds new ones every day. Good luck trying to pick the perfect scene to match what you want to say.

        go.com

Here's how to use the app. Just get into the app (you'll be directed to sign in with Facebook) and start building your character:

It will take you through about twenty steps, from choosing the shape of your jaw to your eye color. You can even choose glasses frames and whether or not you have freckles on your face.

        businessinsider.in

Image via businessinsider.com

Then, choose your scenario. There are over 10,000 options.

        sfgate.com

Image via businessinsider.com

Once you pick one, you can finalize your cartoon. Then it will give you the option to share it on your Facebook newsfeed!

        yahoo.com

Image via businessinsider.com

But a growing number of Facebook users are finding them highly annoying, and if you’re reading this, chances are, you may not like them either.

Bitstrips has only recently exploded in popularity, but is already just as annoying as classically irritating apps such as Farmville, Candy Crush Saga, Vine, and Instagram, sources say.

        guardianlv.com

Image via imgur.com

In a market already choked with soul-numbingly annoying applications for social networks and mobile devices, such a rapid ascent into widespread frustration of others is considered remarkable.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via fbcdn.net

From being a relatively unknown app only a year ago, Bitstrips has grown at an amazing and nauseating speed. Users already vomit forth over 300,000 comics a day onto the Facebook feeds of otherwise happy loved ones and acquaintances, many of whom have no idea how annoying their online friends are until being traumatized by the app’s easy sharing functionality.

"You Are Made For More" — This M'sian Champions Social & Emotional Learning Among Youths

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

Law and criminology graduate Sharlyn J first discovered her passion for social work when she joined a local street feeding community

Image via Sharlyn J (Provided to SAYS)

After taking a gap year once returning from the UK, she was invited by her friend to volunteer alongside a group of other Malaysians — with the sole intention of feeding the homeless."I loved that we actually got to sit down and talk to each of our street friends (referring to the homeless). I enjoyed listening to their stories, and what their journeys have been like. It was then that I realised; I love doing on-the-ground work," she said during an interview with SAYS.

Sharlyn and her volunteers communicating with this homeless friend via writing.
Image via Sharlyn J (Provided to SAYS)

Eventually, she was invited to be a part of the organisation's Board of Directors, where she soon noticed how much power there is in community."I was really inspired by the sense of community, with having so many people coming out on a Wednesday night to do good with no expectation for anything in return... I loved that so much. I believe that was when my heart for social work and for people really started to develop in depth," she added.Soon after that, she was headhunted for a job as a writer for educational magazines that aimed to help students in their transitional stages of their education journey: from high school to university and also to prepare fresh graduates for the working world.

During her stint as a writer, she was given the opportunity to go into schools and universities nationwide to speak to teenagers — which became something she truly resonated with

As she grew in her editorial journey, she continued to work with high school and uni students — and quickly realised that the same passion she had for helping the street friends felt even stronger with these teenagers.

Image via Sharlyn J (Provided to SAYS)

Relating to her own experience in school, she said, "I struggled a lot with my emotional and social wellbeing as a teen. Back then, it was never a topic to be discussed. I remember how difficult it was for me as a teenager, not having the right language to express myself, trying to navigate through all these foreign emotions in a healthy and helpful way. I genuinely wish that someone would have sat down, listened to me, and told me 'Hey, it's okay. There is hope. You're gonna be okay'. "I can't even begin to explain how much more complex things are with the existence of the Internet adding so much pressure on our teens in their years of finding their identity and building their foundation on what matters to them in this day and age."After working with youths/students for more than half a decade, my conviction to help them recognise that they are made for more grew deeper and deeper. I decided that I wanted to invest my time in calling out the gold within our next generation."I want our youth to flourish — not just from an academic perspective, but to give equal weight on their emotional and social wellbeing too. And that is consistent with who I am as a person."

Thus, happywords.co, a youth-development organisation that focuses on social and emotional learning (SEL), was born

(From left) Erica Woo, licensed and registered counsellor, Keryn Lee, photographer, and Sharlyn, founder of happywords.co
Image via Sharlyn J (Provided to SAYS)

SEL comprises five parts: Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making skills. Over the years, we may be more familiar with terms such as character development, soft skills, or 21st-century skills. Sharlyn explained that these terms are synonymous with the components of SEL.In fact, research shows that SEL not only improves achievement by an average of 11 percentile points, but also increases prosocial behaviours (e.g kindness, sharing, and empathy), improves student attitudes toward school, and reduces depression and stress among students.

Image via Sharlyn J (Provided to SAYS)

"I want our younger generation to be secure in their identity, grow in kindness and compassion towards others, and make healthier and helpful decisions that bring positive impact in their own worlds. "I hope for us to use our words intentionally: to build them up, and not tear them down. I believe in creating safe spaces for our youths to address what they are going through too – none of us are perfect. There is grace and space to stop in our tracks, notice what's happening internally, ask where those thoughts/behaviours are stemming from, and to pivot towards a healthier direction. And that is the key."Because I want us to become a more resilient generation. To get through difficult times in a healthy way. You have it within you to navigate through these things – you're made for more," she explained.

happywords.co aims to impart these skills to teens and uni students by listening to them, sharing their knowledge, and having conversations with them via their youth programmes

Image via Sharlyn J (Provided to SAYS)

At the moment, happywords.co runs the following youth programmes:- ACTivate: This internationally-validated youth programme (Time to ACT) is designed to empower youths to play an active role in their lives towards becoming the best version of themselves. The programme uses a skills-based model called DNA-v, which teaches young people the skills to develop psychological flexibility (the ability to do what they care about despite the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings). This is a seven-week programme, and customisations can be discussed.- Customised SEL programmes for private groups: If you have a group of high school or university students, happywords.co will run a needs-based assessment with teachers/parents to understand what would be useful to the target group, and then develop a programme for them from there, depending on their needs. Additionally, the platform is open to collaborating with other organisations, institutions, or learning centres that work with youths as well."We have a framework in happywords.co, the ABC framework; to Activate. Build. Conquer. So, what we intend to do is activate their minds to recognise where they are in their emotional and social wellbeing. With the knowledge we impart to them, we hope it would be a useful tool in their toolbox to build their foundation, so that they can conquer their own lives," said Sharlyn.

Sharlyn told SAYS that happywords.co collaborated on a project with a psychology student, who faced cyberbullying when she was a teenager

Image via Sharlyn J (Provided to SAYS)

"It was really intense. Someone was using her pictures and doing a lot of nasty stuff with them. She didn't know what to do, so she wanted to use her experience to help other cyberbullying victims. We came up with this initiative to advocate to collectively cancel cyberbullying. And this was started by this girl in collaboration with happywords.co," she explained.Known as #cybercancelled, they came up with a campaign to raise awareness of cyberbullying and how they intended to cancel cyberbullying collectively, so that more people will pledge to be kind on the Internet."Cybercancelled was her advocacy project that was part of a beauty pageant, and it won Best Advocacy! And because of that, it went to a more prominent level that people were seeing."She is out there doing incredible work; she has been invited to speak at university events and has gone on to carry on this campaign to impact so many others. And that is exactly what I hope for our happywords.co youth: to be equipped, catalysed, and mobilised as competent and resilient youth leaders that add value to our community! She went through the ABC process on her own. And I am so proud of her," she said.

Sharlyn hopes to be certified as a coach from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) to open up one-on-one coaching and mentoring sessions for students as well

Speaking about her goals for herself and the organisation, she said, "I have nine years of experience with youth events and conducting workshops. But this year I want to be a certified youth coach. I also hope that we'll be able to travel across Malaysia to host these youth events/workshops, which is where the rakyat can help. If you have connections to educators, and access to youths as well, this is where it's gonna be helpful for us to connect with one another."This year, we are running a nationwide survey. It's to explore the lack of SEL in schools back then, and how it has impacted us as young adults right now — in the areas of developing career readiness, leadership, and emotional competence. I hope that we can get as many respondents as possible, so that we can actually get relevant data for this Malaysia-focused survey."

According to Sharlyn, another exciting thing that's happening soon is that they are starting a virtual youth learning community!

Known as happyYOUTH, it is a safe and fun virtual youth learning community that they are starting for teenagers to connect and learn with one another."So what's gonna happen is they can join using an online platform that acts as a safe space for fun and games, but every other week we will have a learning session that is SEL related. Then, I want to open this up to students from Southeast Asia as well, so our students can meet people from other countries."She added, "Whoever wants to join the community can express their interest on our form. We will run a safety screening process prior to being added to our community platforms. We will post about other relevant youth events and programmes there too. Do join us! But I really hope we can also connect with educators across Malaysia, to conduct events with teenagers. We would be so happy to have volunteers, venue sponsors, or printing material sponsors — these things will be very helpful to us. If anyone wants to volunteer they can just reach out. :)"

34-Year-Old Cooks Ex-Girlfriend's Dog And Serves It To Her Over Dinner

According to reports, Ryan Eddy Watenpaugh of California was arrested on 11 September 2014 and charged with domestic violence, false imprisonment, stalking and cruelty to animals

Image via guardianlv.com

Ryan Eddy Watenpaugh was arrested last week on not just animal cruelty charges related to the twisted dinner menu, but also on charges related to stalking, domestic violence and false imprisonment. He remains in custody at the Shasta County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail and may face additional charges regarding the discovery of an AK-47 assault rifle found in his residence.

        guardianlv.com

The ex-girlfriend stated that Ryan physically attacked her in August of this year causing her to flee from her apartment. When she returned, Ryan and her dog, named Bear, were gone.

In her statement, the woman described a relationship with a pattern of physical abuse and said that Watenpaugh had assaulted her several times during the months in which they were together causing abrasions and bruises. She also accused Watenpaugh of stalking her and holding her against her will on at least two occasions.

        huffingtonpost.com

Later she had a change of heart towards Ryan and reconciled with him earlier this month. In what was reportedly supposed to be a romantic dinner, Ryan cooked and served up a meat dish to her.

Image via cmestatic.com

Later in the week, Watenpaugh apparently sent his girlfriend a twisted text in which, in reference to the meal he had made for her, he asked her “how her dog tasted.”

        nbcnews.com

The reconciliation was short-lived and the two separated. However, Watenpaugh continued to taunt the woman with texts about her dog and the meal. Some of his texts were about his plans to dispose of the remaining parts of the Pomeranian that he had not cooked.

        guardianlv.com

A pair of severed dog's paws was later left on her doorstep

After midnight on Tuesday of last week, the woman heard a truck pull up in front of her apartment and witnessed Watenpaugh walking up to the porch and leaving a bag by the door before running back to his vehicle. Inside the bag were two small dog paws that the woman claims are from her pet dog Bear. Investigators obtained a warrant for Watenpaugh and on Thursday of last week arrested him during a traffic stop on Silver Bridge Road.

        guardianlv.com

Although Ryan admits that he sent the twisted texts to his ex-girlfriend, he denies that he abducted, killed, cooked and then served her dog Bear to her for dinner

×

He has also admitted that he put the bag containing the two dog paws on her front porch but claims he did it just to scare her and that the dog paws are from a different dog. He further claims the statements that he made that he killed the woman’s dog and fed it to her were just a “joke.”

        huffingtonpost.com

As a journalist for guardianlv.com wrote: This case is one that involves domestic abuse and the dog dinner lends an air of sensation to the media reports

However, even if Watenbaugh did kill his ex-girlfriend’s Pomeranian and then tricked the woman into eating the pet for dinner, the charges of domestic violence, stalking and false imprisonment are the most significant charges against him.

        guardianlv.com

In addition, even if the paws left on the front porch were not from Bear, the animal cruelty charges may still apply as the paws were clearly severed from a dog. One thing is certain, the small Northern California garden community of Palo Cedro, with a population of less than 1,500 is buzzing with shocked dismay at the twisted details of the story.

PAS Leader: Cancel Coldplay's Concert To Prevent Promoting Deviant Culture

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

A PAS leader is asking the government to cancel Coldplay's concert in Malaysia, citing that the performance will not bring any benefit to the country and the rakyat

PAS central working committee member Nasrudin Hassan made the statement today, 10 May, while replying to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's tweet that welcomed the British band to Malaysia.Elaborating his view on Facebook, he asked whether the government is trying to spread hedonism and deviant cultures."Does the government want to nurture hedonism and deviant cultures in this country? I advise you to just cancel this group's performance in Malaysia. It brings nothing good to  the religion, people, and country," said the leader in the Islamist party.

Nasrudin also posted photos of Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, carrying a rainbow flag at a concert in London, UK

The lead singer of the band is one of many Western artistes who support gay rights and other LGBT causes.In 2019, he even spoke to Rolling Stone to share his "very homophobic" past while growing up in a conservative Christian family, before coming to terms at 15 years old that it was not the end of the world if he was gay.

In his statement, Nasrudin did not mention that Coldplay is the sponsor behind the Interceptor 005, a watercraft built by the Dutch non-profit organisation, The Ocean Cleanup, that has been cleaning up the Klang River for the past several years.The PAS leader made the statement after Anwar dedicated a video to Coldplay, welcoming them to Malaysia and inviting them to work together for a greener world.Coldplay will be performing at National Stadium Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur on 22 November.

WHO Says China Has Recorded World's First Human Death From H3N8 Bird Flu

A Chinese woman has become the first person to die from a type of bird flu that is rare in humans, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, but the strain does not appear to spread between people

The 56-year-old woman from the southern province of Guangdong, China was the third person known to have been infected with the H3N8 subtype of avian influenza, the WHO said in a statement late on Tuesday, 11 April.All of the cases have been in China, with the first two cases reported last year.The Guangdong Provincial Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported the third infection late last month but did not provide details of the woman's death.

The patient had multiple underlying conditions, said the WHO, and a history of exposure to live poultry

Sporadic infections in people with bird flu are common in China, where avian flu viruses constantly circulate in huge poultry and wild bird populations.Samples collected from a wet market visited by the woman before she became ill were positive for influenza A(H3), said the WHO, suggesting this may have been the source of infection.

Though rare in people, H3N8 is common in birds, in which it causes little to no sign of disease. It has also infected other mammals.

There were no other cases found among close contacts of the infected woman, the WHO said."Based on available information, it appears that this virus does not have the ability to spread easily from person to person, and therefore the risk of it spreading among humans at the national, regional, and international levels is considered to be low," the WHO said in the statement.Monitoring of all avian influenza viruses is considered important given their ability to evolve and cause a pandemic.


TikToker Teases S'poreans' Panic-Buying By Showing Fully Stocked Grocery Store In KL

A video teasing Singaporeans with fully stocked shelves at a grocery store in Kuala Lumpur has gone viral all over the Internet

The 12-second-long TikTok video shows a man dancing in a supermarket with ample grocery goods for shoppers to buy."KL so calm," reads a text that appears in the video, "If not enough, come to KL. Don't worry still got stock."The viral video was posted by a Singaporean TV show director, Tawfik Daud, and it has garnered over 18,000 shares on Facebook since it went live last Saturday, 8 February.

Meanwhile in KL...Posted by Tawfik Daud on Saturday, February 8, 2020

The video is a response to Singaporeans' panic-buy of groceries as the number of confirmed novel coronavirus cases continues to increase in the country

Last Friday, 7 February, Singapore's Ministry of Health announced that it had moved its disease outbreak response up a level to 'Orange', reported The Straits Times.The 'Orange' alert is only a level below code 'Red', which signifies an out-of-control pandemic.There are a total of 45 cases in Singapore as of today, 11 February - a drastic difference in comparison to Malaysia with only 18 confirmed cases, considering the difference in population density.

Photos of Singaporeans raiding shelves for processed food, rice, and toilet paper in supermarkets are also widely circulating on social media

Image via Twitter @DelthiaRicks

Some photos show shoppers using step ladders or simply jumping to reach higher shelves.Others show long queues and completely emptied out shelves.The phenomenon has led to supermarket operators failing to restock in time, reported The Straits Times. Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli assured Singaporeans that there is enough food stock in the country, while sociologist Paulin Straughan condemned Singaporeans' hoarding behaviour, describing it as "irrational".

According to China Press, Singaporean cars swamped the carpark of AEON Mall Tebrau City on Saturday, 8 February.Some shelves were left completely dry, while other aisles had shelves with only a few pieces of goods left.Some consumers reportedly bought over RM800 worth of groceries and said that they will reduce outdoor activities thereon to avoid the risk of contracting the Wuhan coronavirus.However, some Singaporeans told the Chinese daily that it is a normal to see Singaporeans coming to Johor Bahru for grocery shopping as there are more options and the prices are more affordable.

Meanwhile, in Taiwan, a television series has cut down a kissing scene in light of the Wuhan coronavirus:

3 Ekor Kucing Gadis Ini Mati Sekelip Mata Diracun Jiran. Kejam Sungguh!

Saat kami membaca post ini di Facebook, kami sendiri terkejut dan bengang. Bagaimanalah seorang manusia yang dikurniakan akal fikiran tergamak membunuh 3 ekor kucing yang tidak berdosa?

Cerita tersebut dikongsi oleh Farah Fasci di laman Facebook yang mana ketiga-tiga ekor kucing kesayangannya mati setelah memakan ikan bilis beracun yang dipercayai dilakukan oleh jirannya sendiri.Anda baca dan nilai lah sendiri.

Farah menganggap ini antara peristiwa pahit buat beliau sekeluarga. Pada awalnya seekor saja mulut berbuih tetapi selepas itu...

22/5/16: KAU BUNUH KUCING2 AKU!Semalam, peristiwa yang pahit untuk kami sekeluarga terima. Jiran kami sendiri telah memberi racun untuk membunuh kucing2 kami. Bukan seekor tapi 3 ekor! Caranya mudah, cuma letakkan ikan bilis yang telah ditaburkan serbuk warna biru (racun) di dalam plastik, kemudian dibiarkan terdedah di luar pagar rumah.

        facebook.com

Kucing 1: Kucing kesayangan mak, sangat manja

Plastik yang mengandungi racun.

Pada awalnya kami cuma tersedar seekor saja yang tiba2 berbuih mulut. Kami syak mungkin termakan tikus atau binatang lain yang berbisa. Tak lama lepas tu, seekor lagi berbuih mulut nya. Ok, kami yakin ini memang diracun! Terus pergi rumah jiran tersebut, sah memang ada 'umpan'. Masa yang sama jugak seekor lagi kucing kami tengah elok makan umpan tu. Kami bawak kucing tu balik, dan bagi nya minum air kelapa. Namun tak lama lepas tu mulutnya pula berbuih.

        facebook.com

Betapa pilunya hati mereka melihat seekor demi seekor mengerang kesakitan dan mati di depan mata mereka sekeluarga. Pelbagai penawar yang diberi tetapi ternyata tidak berhasil.

Sisa ikan bilis kami campak kedalam longkang, takut dimakan kucing lain. (Patut bagi orang tu makan balik!)
Image via Farah Fasci/Facebook

Ya Allah, betapa pilunya hati kami melihat seekor demi seekor mengerang kesakitan dan mati didepan mata kami sekeluarga. Kami cuma mampu memberi air kelapa, air arang, air tanah dan air garam sebagai penawar. Kucing2 kami cuma mampu bertahan sekejap sahaja, kerana racun tersebut terlalu kuat. Kucing2 kami tak mampu untuk bersuara, hanya gelisah meronta menahan sakit. Namun dari pandangan matanya kami tahu mereka meminta tolong. Beratnya derita yang dilalui. Kalaulah penderitaan itu dapat kami tanggung Ya Allah...

Kucing 2: Baru melahirkan anak minggu lepas. Kini tinggal anak2nya tanpa ibu..

Apa yang lebih mmembuatkan beliau sedih salah seekor kucingnya yang mati itu baru saja melahirkan anak dan seekor lagi sedang bunting dan hanya menunggu masa saja untuk beranak

Kucing 3: Tengah sarat bunting..sampai tercirit menahan sakit..
Image via Farah Fasci/Facebook

Lebih menyedihkan bila mengenangkan kucing kami yang baru saja melahirkan anaknya minggu lepas, dan seekor lagi sedang bunting dan menunggu masa untuk beranak. Semuanya pergi sekelip mata. Kau memang kejam jiran!  tahukah anda hukuman diakhirat kelak? Sekiranya anda tidak tahu, perlu kah anda berniat jahat terhadap haiwan?Memang aku benci kau jiran! Macam mana kucing2 aku terseksa, moga kamu rasa balasan yang setimpal. Allah maha adil.Pada penduduk TAMAN BATU GAJAH PERDANA, PUSING, PERAK sila berjaga jaga dengan manusia seperti ini. Mereka tidak berperikemanusiaan kerana mereka lebih teruk dari binatang!

Sedia maklum, kucing adalah haiwan kesayangan Nabi Muhammad S.A.W tetapi mengapa kita manusia yang diberi akal fikiran sangggup melakukan perkara sedemikian rupa?

Diriwayatkan bahawa Nabi Muhammad SAW mempunyai seekor kucing diberi nama Mueeza. Salah satu sifat Mueeza yang paling Nabi suka ialah Mueeza selalu mengiau ketika mendengar suara azan, seolah-olah seperti mengikuti alunan suara azan. Nabi berpesan kepada para sahabatnya untuk menyayangi kucing peliharaan seperti mana menyayangi keluarga mereka sendiri.Pernah juga Nabi mahu mengambil jubahnya dan Mueeza sedang tidur di atasnya. Nabi pun memotong belahan lengan yang ditiduri Mueeza daripada jubahnya supaya tidak menganggu Mueeza. Selepas Nabi pulang ke rumah, Mueeza terbangun dan pergi merunduk sujud kepada majikannya. Sebagai balasan, Nabi menyatakan kasih sayangnya dengan mengusap lembut ke badan kucing itu sebanyak tiga kali. Nabi menekankan dalam beberapa hadis bahawa kucing itu tidak najis.

If You Saw Messages Claiming There's A Salmonella Outbreak In The Klang Valley, Read This

Apparently,  there is a "Salmonella outbreak in the Klang Valley"

This, according to social media posts and WhatsApp forwards that people on the Internet are sharing, trying to warn their family and friends to be "careful" when "eating out at eateries or any restaurants especially buying water from the street, etc. because we are having salmonella outbreak in the Klang Valley".The WhatsApp forwards claim that the information about the outbreak comes from a doctor in a government hospital, adding that the contamination was from a water source and the outbreak was life-threatening.The messages also claim that the outbreak is the reason why the staff from the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) were hit with a severe bout of food poisoning and why the water authorities are conducting piping repair works in the Klang Valley.

However, there is no such outbreak in the Klang Valley

"We have no salmonella outbreak or water-borne diseases in Klang so far," according to Klang Municipal Council Health Department director Azmi Muji.The Star Online also reported a Health Ministry source saying that "it was irresponsible of people to use the HTAR incident to create public fear."

The Health Ministry has, meanwhile, rubbished the claims that a food poisoning outbreak is linked to the safety of water supply

In a statement on Saturday, Health Director-General Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the ministry has confirmed that the information contained in the message was untrue."Based on checks and verification, no increase in the occurrence of food poisoning has been reported. The occurrence of food poisoning cases is currently isolated and under control and has nothing to do with water supply or water supply disruption."The MOH will continue to monitor the status of food poisoning cases," Bernama quoted him as saying, adding that the public should not worry and refrain from trusting any information which has not been verified by the ministry.

Do take note, though, that residents in several areas across the Klang Valley will be facing temporary water cuts from Tuesday:

                These Klang Valley Areas Will Face Water Cuts For Up To 3 Days Starting 6 March

The disruption is due to emergency repair works at a water treatment plant.
