Get your mind our of the gutter, she probably just mean a woman's soft touch and powers of persuasion.

Rosmah was speaking at the launch of MCA's Legal Advisory and Women's Aid Centre (Lawa), of which she is the patron. "I'm sure men are not so boisterous. Don't fight them, be with them, work together with them. If they don't want to eat, you (should) still prepare their food, no matter if you're a doctor or a lawyer, you have to be there with them. Make sure that you stand by your husband when he needs you to stand by him, like I do," Rosmah added.

She might have also told women that arguing with their husbands can lead to a better love life...

She said that married couples should not be argumentative all the time, however, if it is done in moderation, slight arguments can lead to a better love life. "After a little bit of argument and then you make up, you will find that your husband will love you a little bit better," she added as the crowd erupted in laughter.

Ibu Mengandung Boleh Dapat Servis Kelas Pertama Semasa Bersalin Dengan Hanya RM3

Zaman sekarang ini, apa yang lebih menakutkan ibu mengandung tentang bersalin bukan lagi kesakitan, tetapi lebih kepada kos yang perlu ditelan

Image via says.com

Sesetengah orang berfikir dua kali untuk mempunyai anak setelah mengambil kira tentang kos dari peringkat pranatal, melahirkan anak, dan selepas anak dilahirkan.Sejajar dengan kemajuan dalam bidang perubatan, kos juga dilihat semakin meningkat.

Namun begitu, kos bersalin di hospital kerajaan masih agak berpatutan jika dibandingkan dengan hospital swasta

Image via Adlyn Journey

Walaupun masa menunggu di hospital awam agak lama, kaji selidik Kementerian Kesihatan menunjukkan bahawa orang ramai yakin dengan sistem perubatan awam dan tidak menganggap ia lebih rendah daripada swasta.Selaras dengan ini, Pusat Bersalin Berisiko Rendah (PBBR) ditubuhkan oleh kerajaan untuk membantu mengurangkan masalah kemudahan obstetrik yang penuh sesak di hospital-hospital kerajaan.

Image via blogspot.com

Sejak dibuka pada 2012, pusat bersalin ini menawarkan perkhidmatan rawatan, bilik, ubat-ubatan, dan makanan yang setaraf dengan kemudahan wad kelas pertama untuk bayaran yang jauh lebih murah. Penjawat awam boleh menikmati kemudahan ini tanpa perlu dikenakan sebarang bayaran.PBBR juga dikendalikan oleh pakar-pakar obstetrik, ginekologi, dan pediatrik yang bertugas setiap hari demi memastikan para pesakit memperoleh rawatan profesional, berkualiti tinggi, dan berkesan.

Paling menarik, bayaran yang dikenakan hanyalah RM3!

Image via Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia / Facebook

Yuran masuk yang dikenakan kepada orang ramai hanya RM15, manakala bayaran harian untuk bilik berharga RM3 sahaja.Servis yang sama mungkin menelan kos sehingga ribuan Ringgit untuk melahirkan anak di hospital swasta, jika semua bayaran diambil kira.

Buat masa ini, terdapat 3 PBBR di Malaysia

			1. PBBR Hospital Putrajaya, WP Putrajaya2. PBBR Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Pahang3. PBBR Alor Setar, Kedah

Image via Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia / Facebook

Wanita hamil perlu pergi ke klinik kesihatan awam untuk pemeriksaan biasa sebelum mereka dirujuk ke PBBR sekiranya mempunyai rekod kesihatan yang baik.Mereka perlu memenuhi kriteria tertentu mengikut garis panduan yang ditetapkan oleh PBBR supaya layak menggunakan kemudahan tersebut. Beberapa kriteria termasuk tidak mempunyai sejarah komplikasi pada kehamilan sebelumnya dan tidak ada sejarah penyakit perubatan seperti diabetes, hipertensi, asma, dan penyakit kardiovaskular.

How Malaysian Immigration Officers Ran A Massive Corruption Scam (And Got Away Scot-Free)

By now most of you already know that the Malaysian immigration system was sabotaged by the very officers working to protect it.
For which, the Immigration Department has fired 15 of its officers and several others have been either suspended or redeployed.

Prior to this, earlier in April and May, Officers from the Special Branch had conducted operations in the Klang Valley area, resulting in the arrests of 19 people involved in human trafficking syndicate. Among those arrested, there were 2 Malaysian Immigration Officers, IGP Khalid had revealed to the press.The syndicate was trafficking migrants to Geneva, Switzerland.While the syndicate would charge as much as RM60,000 to each migrant, the two arrested Immigration Officers working for the syndicate would ensure no issues for the migrants at their counters for a mere sum of RM150 to RM350 per migrant.

Following which, security at airports was tightened in the country.

Then on 18 May, it was also reported that there were many "loopholes" in the security screening system at our airports, which enabled the syndicate to take advantage of it. The Malay Mail Online reported that the Home Ministry was probing into it.The Malay Mail Online quoted a ministry source as saying about Malaysia Immigration System (myIMMs), "It is believed the system may be downed deliberately, suggesting corruption. Those manning and operating the electronic screening of passengers — from the authorities to airline staff and employees of the system development company — are being investigated."It was the frequent "crashes" of the system that had raised serious questions about myIMMs ability to keep out would-be terrorists, people smugglers, and other criminals, the unnamed source had said, adding that the high number of 'breakdowns' also suggests that "many on watch lists could have gone under the radar."A doubt which was also raised by Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamad.He had called into doubt the system's ability to screen incoming foreigners due to its "embarrassingly" frequent glitches which allow foreigners to enter Malaysia through the Kuala Lumpur airports easily. The Star reported him saying that the security screening system, implemented by Heitech Padu for over two decades, would be upgraded.

Even the National Audit Department, in its 2015 report, had found several weaknesses in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of the myIMMs project, which was worth RM29.9 million and was awarded through direct negotiations to HeiTech Padu in 2010 and approved by the Finance Ministry. Read more on this here.

Later, on 23 May, Deputy PM and Home Affairs Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, while commenting on the above report, said that he believes that the Malaysian Immigration System (myIMMs) has been sabotaged and several names had been identified.Immigration Director-General Sakib Kusmi concurred with the DPM's assessment, saying that it has "some truth" as that is one of the factors causing the myIMMs system to be frequently disrupted and to face problems of efficiency, The Malay Mail reported.And while HeiTech Padu's CEO Arif Mokhtar admitted that myIMMs is vulnerable to power outages and Internet service disruptions, he denied that the system was compromised. He also said that his company was being "unfairly singled out" and that "the department has the final say in allowing people into the country.""It is unfortunate the shortcomings of the Immigration Department are being blamed on the myIMMs operating system and our company. We are being made the scapegoat for this mess. The system does what it is designed to do and it is up to the Immigration officer on duty to allow an individual into the country," he was quoted as saying.

Following which, some 100 people, including officials from the Immigration Department, were investigated by authorities and it was revealed that the Malaysian Immigration System (myIMMs) could have been compromised as far back as 2010, The ST reported

On 31 May, following the investigation by the authorities, the Immigration Department fired 15 of its officers, who were among a total of 37 officers who were given "disciplinary action" over their role in the sabotage. The disciplinary action included 14 suspensions and 8 other had their salary increments frozen.Immigration Department Director-General Sakib Kusmi was quoted by Malaysiakini that there are grounds to believe that the officers, some of whom have been with the department for more than a decade, may be linked to a human trafficking syndicate."They deal online. The instructions come from overseas. First, they have to access our system, then they can manipulate our system from outside. You can see this in our computers, the cursor moves, without someone operating it. These acts enabled traffickers to bypass immigration systems."

Image via Asian Correspondent

However, the surprising thing here is that no criminal action was taken against any of those Immigration Officers involved in crime, despite the fact that the sabotage caused millions of ringgit in losses to the government and posed a threat to national security

In fact, according to Director-General Sakib himself, the Immigration Department officers along with the syndicate involved in sabotaging the Malaysian Immigration System (myIMMs) may have made over RM1 billion through their illegal activities."I believe that since more than 100 officers were involved in these activities, they may have made over RM1 billion ... but it's only my guess," he was quoted by The Sun Daily.AND:"Due to the myIMMs being sabotaged, we really do not know how many people were allowed into the country by these rogue officers," the D-G said, admitting too that there was a possibility that even terrorists may have slipped in because of this.ADDITIONALLY:During the period Malaysia's passport system was said to be compromised, the British and Australian governments had raised their terror alerts for Malaysia, warning of possible attacks in and around the capital Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, Deputy PM Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was quoted as saying:

That "only illegal immigrants slipped through immigration at the KLIA", and "no terrorists slipped through". He added that those who sabotaged the myIMMs immigration system at KLIA were "not involved any form of terrorist activity"."We are not protecting any immigration officer (involved in sabotaging the system) no matter the rank," the DPM stressed.

Vivy Yusof Beri 11 Tips Berguna Dan Rahsia Kejayaan Sepanjang 6 Tahun Bergelar Usahawan

1. Tahu tentang produk dan industri yang diceburi

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Apakah yang anda nak jual? Anda perlu lakukan research ke atas produk anda sendiri, produk pesaing-pesaing anda, dan jalankan penyelidikan industri secara keseluruhan.Contohnya kalau anda nak jual baju, anda kena tahu syarikat pakaian mana yang profitable, macam mana mereka boleh buat duit, apa kaedah yang mereka terapkan, apa teknik yang mereka gunakan, dan macam-macam lagi.

2. Kenal pelanggan atau target market

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Sebelum saya mulakan FashionValet, saya memang tak tahu tentang perkara ini. Saya sangkakan FashionValet adalah untuk semua orang, tapi saya salah. Anda perlu mempunyai fokus atau tumpuan khusus kepada jenis pelanggan.Contohnya kalau pasaran anda untuk golongan yang lebih tua, produk yang dijual tak boleh sama dengan produk yang disasarkan kepada golongan muda. Selain itu, ciri-ciri demografik juga penting. Anda kena tahu pelanggan anda di KL mungkin gaya mereka berbeza dengan pelanggan anda di Johor Bahru. Lain tempat lain caranya.

3. Cari partner yang sesuai dan betul-betul 'ngam'

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Saya percaya bahawa tiada insan yang sempurna. Masing-masing ada kelebihan dan kekurangan diri. Macam saya sendiri, saya tak pandai dari segi kewangan, dan dari segi organisasi. Saya bersyukur ditemukan dengan suami saya kerana kami berdua saling melengkapi antara satu sama lain dalam menguruskan FashionValet. Sebab itulah partner yang sesuai memang benar-benar penting.

    When @fadzaanuar thinks he's Batman. #whatihavetolivewith #sometimeshetalkslikethisallday #redha A video posted by Vivy Yusof (@vivyyusof) on Mar 24, 2016 at 8:29pm PDT

4. Bentuk pasukan yang hebat

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Bukan senang nak membentuk satu pasukan yang dinamik. Sepanjang 5-6 tahun berniaga, ramai orang datang dan pergi. Kami mengambil masa yang lama untuk mencari orang yang sempurna dan ia sangat sukar.Selepas membentuk pasukan, anda perlu melatih pasukan anda dan jadikan mereka leaders. Kalau dulu, saya sangat hands on dan perlu membuat semua keputusan. Tapi sekarang, saya dah ada a few leaders dalam setiap pasukan yang membantu saya setiap hari dalam menentukan hala tuju syarikat. Dari sini, karier mereka juga akan berkembang.

5. Bijak mengurus masa

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Saya seorang ibu, saya ada dua orang anak yang perlukan perhatian saya setiap hari, dan saya juga berniaga pada masa yang sama. Tanggungjawab yang saya pikul ini benar-benar memakan masa yang banyak.Jadi, saya perlu betul-betul membahagikan masa diantara kerja dan keluarga. Tidak ada lagi istilah 'buang masa' dalam hidup saya. Setiap jam mesti dipenuhi dengan pelbagai urusan. Pada saya, hidup yang begitu sibuk sebegini adalah lebih produktif. Sebab kalau anda ada banyak masa, mungkin masa itu akan disia-siakan begitu saja.

    Did you say Bismillah?  #thankyoudaniel #whenyourkidstartsteachingyou #danielazimshah A video posted by Vivy Yusof (@vivyyusof) on Feb 26, 2016 at 7:40pm PST

6. Delegasi dan komunikasi

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Anda perlu sedar, seberapa banyak yang anda rasa anda mampu lakukan segala-galanya, sebenarnya anda tidak boleh. Kita hanyalah manusia biasa dan bukan Superman. Sebab itulah saya sangat pentingkan kerja berpasukan. Delegasikan atau bahagikan kerja-kerja kepada leaders dan para pekerja anda agar segalanya berjalan lancar, teratur, dan cepat.Tapi apa yang lebih penting ialah komunikasi. Anda perlu berkomunikasi dengan pekerja anda tentang masalah yang timbul dan bincangkan cara atau jalan penyelesaian, anda juga perlu follow up, dan paling penting anda mesti kena turun padang, tak kiralah sama ada ke pejabat ataupun ke events.

7. Cari kritikan bukan pujian

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Ramai orang suka mencari pujian. Produk dialah yang terbaik, dialah yang paling cantik, dialah yang paling berjaya, paling kaya. Mereka sentiasa mencari orang untuk memberitahu mereka apa yang mereka nak dengar.Tetapi bagi saya, cara itu tidak akan beri peluang untuk anda memperbaiki diri. Saya suka apabila orang mengkritik produk saya. Walaupun ada masanya pahit dan sukar untuk saya terima, kritikan-kritikan inilah yang memberitahu saya tentang kelemahan jenama saya.Anda perlu ingat bahawa anda tak akan dapat puaskan hati semua pihak. Jadi, mesti akan ada kritikan yang perlu anda hadapi. Just take it positively, improve, and move forward.

8. Perkasakan media sosial

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

FashionValet menggunakan pendekatan yang agak agresif di media sosial terutamanya di Facebook dan Instagram. Saya percaya media sosial kena kuat sebab sekarang semua orang pun ada media sosial sendiri.Produk atau jenama anda perlu sentiasa relevan dan up-to-date, tidak kiralah jenis perniagaan apa pun yang anda ceburi. Cuba maksimumkan penggunaan media sosial sebaik mungkin dan ambil kesempatan melaluinya. Media sosial memang sangat penting untuk menjadikan jenama anda lebih dikenali ramai.

9. Hidup dan 'bernafas' dengan produk anda

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Kadang-kadang saya sendiri yang menjadi pelanggan di fashionvalet.com. Dari situ, saya boleh tengok apa yang tak kena dengan laman web tersebut dari perspektif seorang pelanggan.Selain itu, pakaian yang saya kenakan setiap hari semuanya datang dari FashionValet. Tudung pula saya akan pakai Duckscarves. Saya perlu membawa imej jenama saya ke mana jua saya pergi. Kalau saya sendiri tak pakai, macam mana saya nak expect orang lain untuk pakai juga?

10. Dapatkan support system yang baik

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Ramai orang terlupakan perkara ini. Dalam berniaga, anda perlu berhadapan dengan pelbagai jenis cabaran dan kritikan. Perkara-perkara tidak boleh dikawal inilah yang akan menjatuhkan anda kalau anda tak kuat. Anda akan rasa demotivated, putus asa, dan tidak bersemangat lagi untuk teruskan perjuangan.Jadi, kalau anda tiada support system yang baik, siapa yang akan bangkitkan semula semangat anda ketika anda sedang jatuh? Itulah sebabnya sistem sokongan seperti ibu bapa, ahli keluarga, suami/isteri, anak-anak, dan rakan karib ini amat penting dalam kehidupan kita. Tanpa mereka, pasti kita tak akan mampu melangkah jauh. Oleh itu, jagalah hubungan baik dengan orang-orang tersayang.

11. Sentiasa percaya pada Tuhan

Image via Instagram @vivyyusof

Allah adalah Perancang segala-galanya. Kalau Dia kata ia akan berlaku, maka berlakulah ia. Rezeki itu di tangan Tuhan dan Dia telah menentukan rezeki bagi setiap makhluk di muka bumi ini. Sepayah mana pun liku hidup anda, Tuhan boleh mengubahnya dalam sekelip mata. Dan semewah mana pun hidup anda, Tuhan boleh menarik segalanya dalam sekelip mata.Saya percaya bahawa Tuhan sentiasa menyokong di belakang saya dan saya tidak takut. Oleh itu, percayalah pada-Nya, beribadahlah kepada-Nya setiap hari, dan segala-galanya akan dipermudahkan insyaAllah. Kalau kita dekatkan diri dengan Tuhan, mustahil Tuhan akan jauh dengan kita. Percayalah.

Elderly Man Learns He's Been 'Dead' For Months After Trying To Lodge A Police Report

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

A 71-year-old man in Skudai, Johor has gone through many difficulties with the authorities after finding out he has been listed as 'dead' for the past eight months

According to Free Malaysia Today, Low Choo Choon, a funeral van driver, was trying to lodge a report about a missing deed under his name when he was informed by the police of his 'death'.Low said he had gone to the police station to report about a deed for a two-person gravesite he and his wife had purchased over 20 years ago. Due to financial constraints, he had wanted to transfer the grave to a relative.However, he could not find the deed nor could he file a police  report about the missing document as he was deemed as 'dead'.

Following advice from the police, Low said he lodged a complaint to the National Registration Department (JPN) immediately in January

However, eight months have gone by, and the national registry has yet to reverse his status."I have been to JPN many times and was always told to come back in two weeks, but when I go, they give all kinds of excuses. I also wrote an official letter about this in June, but the problem still hasn't been solved," Low told a press conference with Senai assemblyman Wong Bor Yang on Tuesday, 9 August, as quoted by Harian Metro."I'm asking for JPN to kindly speed up the activation of my identification card (IC) again. I'm tired of this, I'm too old to keep going up and down to JPN," he appealed.Low had sought the help of the assemblyman over the matter late last month after fears that he might not be able to access his bank account."I have been working at a funeral home for so many years, but I never thought that I would be listed as 'dead'," he said.

Since Low has been classified as dead, he has been facing difficulties renewing official documents and accessing privileges as a local citizen for the past few months

The funeral van driver said he could not get his road tax renewed this year. However, he finally convinced the Road Transport Department to renew it for at least half a year after making multiple requests and visits.He was also unable to cast a ballot in March when Johor held its state elections."If my (status) does not get updated, I worry that my bank account and assets will get frozen," the 71-year-old added more urgently.He said his driving licence is also due to expire next month, which will lead to more difficulties if the issue is not resolved soon.With Wong's help, the state's JPN investigation team has finally been brought to the attention of Low's case for review.

Malaysian budget store ECO Shop's items will no longer be RM2.10 starting next month

Image via harga.runtuh

The store made the announcement on their Facebook page on Monday, 15 November, which has been shared over 938 times at the time of writing.ECO Shop explains that they have adhered to keeping their principle of offering high-quality items for low prices, but that the change is "due to the increasing cost of goods".

From 1 December onwards, the price on their items will increase from RM2.10 to RM2.20 in Semenanjung Malaysia, and RM2.30 to RM2.40 in Langkawi, Sabah, and Sarawak

The Facebook post ends with them saying, "We regret this announcement and we hope you will continue to support us."

10 Tahun Makan Pedas, Gadis Ini Kongsi 'Azab' Diserang Penyakit Yang Boleh Sebabkan Kanser

Malaysia boleh dikatakan syurga makanan. Sebab apa? Pergi je mana-mana mesti anda akan dapat makanan kegemaran anda. Sedap pula tu!

Image via Google

Kepelbagaian makanan di Malaysia membuatkan ramai pelancong asing ingin berkunjung ke Malaysia untuk melancong. Mana tidaknya, sekitar semua negeri yang ada di Malaysia, mereka boleh mencuba pelbagai jenis makanan dari setiap negeri dan masakan yang berbeza.

Image via Edisi Terjah

Memang hampir kesemuanya memang sedap dan tidak menghampakan!Tak percaya? Cubalah sendiri!

Tapi makan-makan juga, kesihatan juga perlu dijaga. Jangan terlalu suka makan makanan yang pedas dan juga mempunyai habit melambatkan waktu makan.
Kenapa?

Banyak kesan negatif yang boleh terjadi kepada badan anda jika anda terlalu kerap makan pedas dan selalu melambatkan waktu makan.Tidak kiralah sama ada anda mempunyai urusan yang tidak dapat dielakkan atau apa jua alasan, waktu makan perlulah tepat pada masanya dan jangan jadikan makanan pedas sebagai makanan pertama anda.

Image via Halo Sehat

Seorang wanita di laman Twitter telah berkongsi pengalaman beliau ketika doktor mengesahkan bahawa dia diserang penyakit yang boleh menyebabkan kanser kerana terlalu banyak makan makanan yang pedas.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Sejak belajar di universiti memang suka makan lambat dan makan makanan yang pedas sebab selalu utamakan urusan lain terlebih dahulu

Pastu dah la jenis makan ikut suka je. Sekali dpt makan memang melahapp bagaikan tiada hari esok. Pedas? Wajib!Dulu memang tak terasa. Ni dah 10 tahun baru rasa azab dia. Ye, ada yang akan cakap “eleh, aku makan pedas takde pape pun”. Teruskan dgn “eleh” kau. Itu perut kau & bkn tanggungjawab aku. Aku doakan kau tak kena mcm mane azabnye bila gastric/gerd tu dtg.Siapa kenal aku tau lah tahap dewi mane aku serap bila bab-bab mkn pedas ni. Sebab bila makan benda tak pedas tu aku rasa cepat muak. Bila pedas tu rasa kick dia perghhhh memang padu!

10 tahun kemudian, mula rasa tidak selesa pada bahagian perut. Rasa macam ada sakit di bahagian tengah dan bahagian bawah perut belah kiri.

Nk sendawa kentut macam stuck. Nak bernafas tak boleh. Rasa terbakar kt ulu hati. Even klu deep sleep pun akan terjaga sbb sakit sgt! Mula aku ingat pekara biasalah. So aku makan jela gaviscon & controloc. Giviscon tu wajib sebotol standby umah. Yang sachets dlm handbag incase aku kena attack.

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Sampailah baru-baru ni aku rasa that i need to do something. Sbb almost everyday aku akan bloated, aku muntah, rasa macam benda begerak-gerak dlm perut, sakit kepala, stiff tengkuk, bila baring flat tak boleh bernafas, masa makan rasa tekak tu sempit je.

Akhirnya, terpaksa berjumpa dengan doktor pakar di hospital swasta untuk menjalani ujian Endoskopi

Apa itu Endoskopi?Endoskopi (gastroskopi) ialah satu prosedur tanpa pembedahan dimana doktor pakar akan memasukkan satu tiub yang hujungnya mengandungi kamera ke dalam perut kita melalui mulut untuk melihat keadaan saluran esophagus, perut dan sebahagian usus kecil (duodenum). Bagi sesetengah orang, doktor akan memasukkan tiub melalui punggung (kolonoskopi) untuk memerhatikan keadaan usus besar kita.

Kalau ikut pengalaman aku, endoscopy (scope) ni bleh buat as Day Care je. Means kau warded at least for 6-8hours. Lepas tu boleh balik. And scope ni aku diberi ubat tidur. Sepanjang procedure tu aku mmg tak rasa pape. Tau-tau je dah setel. Itupun lalok lagi.Tapi ada certain tempat mcm GH tak bagi ubat tidur. Diorg just spray kt tekak and masukkan scope tu dalam mulut terus ke perut. Utk org yg panic mcm aku mmg tak sesuai lah. Aku sebelum doc cucuk ubat tidur tu, sempat lagi mengucap. Kot-kot lahh tak bangun terus. Haha.

Sebelum menjalani scope ini, pesakit perlulah berpuasa selama enam jam. Jangan datang hospital dengan perut yang penuh dengan makanan ya!

Ultrasound pun doktor buat utk check hempedu, hati, batu karang, ovari, etc. Doktor yg ultrasound aku tu ckp buah pinggang nmpk ok. Tp perut penuh dgn angin. Tak ada batu karang. Just hati aku je berlemak skit. Siapa ckp org kurus cholesterol tak tinggi?Ok sambung balik part lps scope. Scope tu kejap je. Tak sampai 10 minit pun. Cuma nak tunggu effect ubat tidur tu yg lama skit. Bila nampak dah ok, nurse panggil doktor utk review result.Ini result scope aku. Doktor bgtau esophagus aku dah merah gila cause dari longterm effect acid reflux:

Plus, LES aku dah longgar, ada skit Hiatal Hernia & ada Polyps (which kalau dibiarkan can lead to cancer). So doktor diagnosed aku 1st stage of BARRETT’S ESOPHAGUS!

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Apa itu GERD dan LES?

Penyakit refluks gastroesofageal atau gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) merupakan satu keadaan yang lebih serius daripada refluks gastroesofageal atau gastroesophageal reflux (GER) yang biasanya dialami orang ramai.Esofagus merupakan satu tiub yang mengangkut makanan dari dalam mulut ke dalam perut. GERD berlaku apabila bahagian bawah sfinkter (pencerut) esofagus (LES) terbuka secara spontan beberapa kali atau tidak tertutup dengan betul, sehinggakan kandungan yang terdapat di dalam perut akan naik ke dalam esofagus.GERD juga dikenali sebagai refluks asid atau regurgitasi asid berpunca daripada jus pencernaan iaitu asid perut naik semula ke atas bersama-sama makanan yang dihadam.

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Apa itu LES?LES pula adalah satu gelungan otot di bahagian bawah esofagus yang bertindak sebagai satu injap tutup/buka di antara esofagus dan perut.

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Apakah pula yang dimaksudkan dengan Barrett's Esophagus dan Polyps?

Barrett's Esofagus adalah komplikasi serius GERD yang bermaksud penyakit refluks gastroesophageal. Untuk penyakit Barrett's Esofagus ini, tisu biasa lapisan esofagus tiub itu membawa makanan dari mulut ke perut - perubahan kepada tisu yang menyerupai lapisan usus.

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Kebanyakan Polyps adalah jinak, atau boleh dikatakan noncancerous. Walau bagaimanapun, oleh kerana Polyps adalah disebabkan oleh pertumbuhan sel yang tidak normal, mereka akhirnya menjadi kanser. Mungkin terdapat satu atau banyak Polyps yang hadir.

Aku pun tak ingat aku Polyps apa. Tapi taklah seteruk macam gambar diatas.Bila dengan je doktor cakap “can lead to cancer”. Aku dah cuak. Nasib baik aku dapat detect awal BE ni. Sbb org yg ada BE lg tinggi risiko dia nk dpt esophagus cancer. Tapi dlm dunia ni less than 1% je org yg ada BE ni kena kanser. Rare cases.But, still kena hati-hati..Once dh detect BE ni mmg kena follow up lah. Sbb nak check condition perut tu. Lg 6 bulan kena scope lagi. And kena start jaga makan. Ye aku mengaku bab pantang-pantang ni aku mmg loser. Aku tak akan pantang drastic mcm tu je. Aku kena slow-slow adapt.

Individu yang diserang BE ini tidak boleh makan makanan yang pedas, berminyak, berempah dan tak boleh makan lambat. Makan juga tak boleh terlalu sikit atau terlalu banyak.
Portion kecil, tapi kerap dan banyak lagi pantang yang lain.

We’re living in Malaysia. Dah sah-sah makanan Msia ni berempah, berminyak dah ber ber lagi lah. Mmg kena kuat semangatlah kalau gi kenduri tu tgk lauk-pauk dia cemane. Xkan ko nak gi dapur tuan rumah buat grilled salmon pulak kan?So, one step at a time.

Ubat-ubatan juga tak boleh dilewatkan atau skip dan perlu diambil secara long-term

So far aku kena makan Ganaton, Nexium & Gaviscon.

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Image via Twitter @JiaShamsuri

Till today aku still ada rasa bloated and sempit tekak tp still boleh control. Bab pantang makan tu aku slow-slow adapt. So far boleh elak dairy foods la. Rempah, cili tu dah try kurangkan. Mealtime pun dah cuba untuk ubah.And bila aku joined group GERD ni baru aku tau most org GERD & BE ni diorg mesti ada anxiety. Anxiety tu triggered dari angin & gas dalam badan tu. Yela, ko tiba2 tak boleh bernafas, rasa dunia gelap mane kau tak cuak kan. Nak tido pun takut sbb selalu rasa tak sedap badan.So guys, jagalah cara pemakanan anda.  Jgn selamber je cakap ”eleh gastrik je punn”. Asal dari gastrik tu lah boleh melarat tau! Klu teruk bleh lead to cancer!

Untuk yang suka makan pedas dan lewatkan waktu makan tu, dah boleh ubah gaya hidup lebih sihat ya!

Man Throws Boy From 3rd Floor In Anger After Family Stops Him From Raping His Stepdaughter

A 42-year-old Nigerian man has been arrested for allegedly throwing his stepgrandson from a third-floor apartment in Danau Kota, Setapak, killing the four-year-old boy in the act

According to New Straits Times, the incident happened at about 7.40am yesterday, 29 November.Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Department head SAC Nik Ros Azhan Nik Abd Hamid said the police believe that the man threw the child out of a window following a fight in the family."Preliminary investigation found that the 42-year-old suspect tried to rape his stepdaughter who was sleeping in the living room, but was stopped by his wife and other stepchildren," said Nik Ros Azhan."The victim's stepchildren aged between 19 and 29 years old tried to stop him. The suspect then became furious and began striking the others in the house."He said the suspect acted out of control when the latter saw his stepchildren screaming for help.It was at the moment that the suspect lifted his four-year-old stepgrandson and flung him out of a window in the main room of the apartment.

The suspect then proceeded to escape by jumping through the same window, but he was injured upon landing

He was later detained by security guards and members of the public at the scene.The Star reported that the man was living with his 49-year-old Malaysian wife and their child, four stepchildren, and the stepgrandson.Nik Ros Azhan said the suspect also assailed his family members, which led to the wife screaming for help from neighbours to save herself and her children.24-year-old Idayu Ismail was among the neighbours who heard the cries of help. When she opened her door to see what was happening, she saw the wife was unclothed and covered in blood, reported Bernama.Following that, she immediately called the police.Meanwhile, another neighbour said his sister helped cover up the body of the victim and was told that the grandson was still in the house.However, soon after that, Idayu said she heard something thumping onto the ground from her ground-floor apartment — which turned out to be the body of the grandson.

A witness at the scene showed reporters a staircase in the building that was covered with a trail of blood from the third floor all the way to the ground floor

The Star reported the person as saying that the blood is believed to have come from injuries sustained by the family members as they fled.One neighbour told the English daily that she had never heard the family fight before, adding that the family was warm and friendly whenever they interacted with her.Other residents expressed their shock and sorrow. Many of them said they knew the family and lamented the killing of the four-year-old boy.Wangsa Maju police chief Supt Rajab Ahad Ismail said the victims had been sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment.The case will be investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.Rajab urged all witnesses to come forward to the police to assist in the investigation.

Runaway Refugee Who Went Missing From Ipoh Quarantine Centre Found After 2 Days

[UPDATED] 2 June: Rohim has since been found and returned to the Tanjung Rambutan facility.

As Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in the daily media conference on the COVID-19 response, "The Rohingya man has been caught and sent back to the quarantine centre".

On May 31, Rohim Mohd Zakaria was found missing from his room at the Ministry of Health's Training Institute in Tanjung Rambutan at around 11am

According to a Bernama report, a "Ministry of Health staff was monitoring those quarantined at block E-2-83 of the facility" when they noticed Rohim, a 27-year-old Rohingya refugee, was missing. At the time, 57 other people were awaiting swab test reports at the quarantine centre, none of which have revealed positive results.

Initial search efforts by ministry staff and Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) personnel proved unsuccessful

In an interview with Bernama, Ipoh district police chief ACP A Asmadi Abdul Aziz described that they had "looked for the man around the quarantine block and his designated room, but could not find him".A search party was launched to look for Rohim.

Rohim was first placed at the Tanjung Rambutan quarantine centre at 5pm on May 30 after being detained at a roadblock

From Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, Rohim and two others were stopped at a roadblock on the North-South Expressway near Behrang, as noted by Perak CID Chief Asst Comm Anuar Othman. Rohim was then investigated for allegedly defying the Conditional Movement Control Order and for "immigration-related matters", continued Anuar.

Remarking his shortness of breath and additional COVID-19 related symptoms, Rohim was given police bail and then sent to Slim River Hospital

When initial tests came back negative, the 27-year-old was moved to Tanjung Rambutan.There, he was supposed to be quarantined for 14 days, only to be found missing the day after his arrival. Currently, the case is being investigated under Section 22(b) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Regulations as well as Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act of 1959/63. The first law describes measures taken towards infected local areas, whilst the latter is associated with the control of entry into the country where one is required to be in "possession of a valid Pass lawfully issued to him to enter Malaysia".

The patient's exact reason for leaving the centre has not been confirmed

Authorities were similarly lacking details about Rohim aside from his name and passport number which he noted on a form provided by the centre.As more COVID-19 related cases continue to emerge in immigration centres, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah reminded the public on his Twitter account that "negative sentiments against detainees must not be amplified and must not be a catalyst for discrimination in saving lives".

Covid-19 knows no boundaries & does not favour any ethnicity & social status.Our whole government & whole community should work together to fight the virus. Negative sentiments against detainees must not be amplified & must not be a catalyst for discrimination in saving lives pic.twitter.com/EBjVcGE8zP— Noor Hisham Abdullah (@DGHisham) May 24, 2020

Migrants and refugees were previously assured by the Ministry of Health that they could get tested without fear of their status

Yet, the ministry's jurisdiction only goes so far, as immigration enforcement falls under the responsibilities of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The United Nations previously expressed concern over the arrests and detainment of migrants and refugees in Malaysia, fearing that it may prevent these individuals from seeking testing or treatment.

The first rule of leadership & Mx is to listen. When we speak & engage, we must communicate empathically with simplicity & precision so as a layperson will understand. More often than not we hear but we don’t listen to our patients, stakeholders & the people. We listen to reply pic.twitter.com/8GIFSITKHH— Noor Hisham Abdullah (@DGHisham) May 24, 2020

The competition was organised by the London-based Royal Academy of Dance. According to Malay Mail, the academy has Queen Elizabeth II's patronage and is known as the world's most influential dance and training organisation.

Prior to the competition in August, Gan practiced day and night

The teen, who has been dancing since he was three years old, shared that his warm up consists of barre and centre exercises, petite allegro jumps, and grand allegro leaps.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Julian Gan (@_juliangan_) on Apr 29, 2018 at 6:09pm PDT

After that, he would go over his routine with a teacher who would assess his form and technique.

He also told SAYS that his favourite aspect of ballet is storytelling through movements.

"The fluidity of movements mesmerise me. There are so many great dancers out there that motivate me to be better everyday."

The young dancer's journey to victory was also met with hardship and sorrow.
Just a month before the competition, Gan lost his father to cancer.

         View this post on Instagram           On the 15th of July, my father drew his last breath at 7:47pm. He had been battling pancreatic cancer since he found out about it on the 12th of May 2019. • • Thank you for everything you’ve taught me. From driving properly on the road to learning how to cook properly. You had your own way of being a fantastic dad and to me, I wouldn’t ask for any more than that. Every moment spent with you no matter how small the event, had it’s significance and values to it. No moment spent with you was dull. Thank you for being the best father. I love you. • • Information about the wake and funeral times are stated in the second slide. A post shared by  Julian Gan (@_juliangan_) on Jul 15, 2019 at 11:10pm PDT

He told SAYS that at 63 years old, his father passed away two months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

He said, "I have not quite come to terms with it, but I've learned how to cope. It still saddens me whenever I think about him."

			It was mentally challenging. It was so hard focusing on the competition while dealing with loss.
        Julian Gan

In an interview with The Star, he said, "Throughout the competition and even now, I would have flashes of him, memories or certain things that reminded me of him."

He also shared that he was bullied as a child for enjoying a 'feminine' activity.
However, he urges other boys who'd love to try ballet to just go for it.

Image via Instagram @_juliangan_

Facing bullies was a difficult part of his childhood but he managed to rise above it, he shared."Actions speak louder than words. When results appeared, the bullies were no more."

"Other boys who are interested in pursuing ballet should definitely go for it. The dance world is tough but it is such an emotion-filled art form."

This boy is such an inspiration. Great job, Julian!

A PDRM Officer Has Been Charged With 8 Counts Of Rape And An Attempt To Molest 2 Women

Inspector Hazrul Hizham Ghazali was today, 30 April, charged with eight counts of rape and an attempt to molest two women in a Petaling Jaya hotel during an incident that happened between 10 and 11 April

New Straits Times reported that among the charges that were read to him before Sessions Court judge Norshila Kamaruddin, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officer is alleged to have raped two women in two different rooms at a boutique hotel between 12.30am and 11am on 11 April.The two women, identified as Mongolian nationals, are aged between 20 and 36.The offence falls under Section 376(2)(f) of the Penal Code for rape, which covers the offence of raping a woman "with her consent, when the consent is obtained by using his position of authority over her".Hazrul Hisham's position as a senior police officer who was attached to the Petaling Jaya police headquarters was taken into account when the charges were read out to him.

The total charges indicted against Hazrul Hisham come up to nine

Among the total charges, eight counts of rape are divided between six counts for the first victim, aged 20, and two counts for the second victim, aged 36.The ninth charge is about him allegedly using criminal force on one of the victims with the intent to outrage her modesty near a roadblock at the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) on the same day.If convicted, he could be jailed for a term of between 10 and 30 years as well as whipping.

The accused pleaded not guilty to all the charges

He was reportedly calm and nodded in understanding inside the dock during the entire proceedings.While deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Mohd Asnawi Abu Hanipah asked the judge to not grant bail as there was a high tendency for the accused to harass witnesses, judge Norshila Kamaruddin allowed Hazrul to post bail of RM27,000 with one surety for all rape and molest charges.The judge has set 2 June for next case mention.

These Young Malaysians Are Looking For Donors To Help Kalimantan Haze Victims

The hazardous haze from Indonesia has been a common occurrence in Malaysia for the past few decades with little done to stop the worsening problem.
Indonesia and its neighbouring countries suffer from terrible health problems yearly and the fatalities caused by the haze increase yearly.

Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan
Image via The Guardian

Indonesia is the world largest palm oil producer and to sustain the increasing demand for palm oil, there is a great need for extensive acres of lands for oil palm plantation. To cut costs and increase profits, fires are usually intentionally lit by certain plantation owners to clear lands to make way for oil palm plantation instead of using the traditional, costly method of using bulldozers. The dry weather, heat and the lack of rain results in all the surrounding areas of the burning peatlands to catch fire, causing a worrying amount of haze released into the air from the fires.

How bad is the haze in Indonesia?

While Malaysians and Singaporeans aren't expected to count their blessings that the haze in Malaysia this year isn't as bad as the last time it hit us, it is a known fact that the country that the haze originated from is facing the worst effects of the haze. Malaysia refers to the API to measure the haze levels, while Indonesia and Singapore use the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) which has the same measurement level as API.Since most of the fires were started from forests in Kalimantan and Sumatera, the surrounding areas of these places are hit with an alarming amount of haze, going way beyond hazardous levels, making those places almost uninhabitable.

Air Pollution Index guide

As the forest fires continue to blaze, with El Nino worsening it, central Kalimantan and certain Sumatra islands have PSI levels of more than 2,000

Image via Daily Mail

The haze this year is being referred to as the worst haze to hit Southeast Asian countries in the past years, as it coincides with the El Nino phenomenon. El Nino is an abnormal weather pattern, whereby the warming of the Pacific waters heats the air and obstructs with cloud formations and disrupts rainfall. Thus, the hindering of cloud formations lead to problems in cloud seeding plans and reducing any chance of rainfall to calm the fires. Any reading above 300 is considered as hazardous and has the potential to cause long term, serious health issues, mostly related to the respiratory system.

What are the health issues affecting Indonesians because of the haze?

Image via Straits Times/Seah Kwang Peng

The thick blanket of haze completely immersed with dangerous air pollutants have turned these places in Indonesia into an acrid smelling, yellow-tinged cities.   The health issues that may arise from the continuous haze can cause multiple health effects including, respiratory illness, cell damage in respiratory system, decreased lung function and even accelerated aging of the lungs.With the people being exposed to these dangerous levels of air pollution, there is a potential for some to develop diseases such as bronchitis, emphysema and respiratory infections. For the sick, elderly and the children, the haze can even be fatal as it could cause heart attacks, severe breathing difficulties, and aggravate asthma.

How is the Indonesian government planning to solve this problem?

Responding to the seriousness of the situation, the Indonesian government, yesterday, informed that they will be evacuating people from Central Kalimantan to South Kalimantan, where the air quality is reportedly better.

Indonesia has deployed three warships, with more on standby, to deliver face masks, tents and medical supplies to thousands of people affected by acrid haze from forest fires, an official.Three warships have arrived in Kalimantan, Indonesia's half of Borneo and one of the worst affected regions - bringing much needed medical staff, shelters, cooking stoves and protective masks.Indonesian military spokesman Tatang Sulaiman said the plan was to build temporary shelters with air purifiers and beds away from haze-plagued cities, but the ships could also act as evacuation centres if needed."Our warships are ready to evacuate residents, whether to these temporary shelters or even on board. We are prepared for that," he told AFP. "Those who will be evacuated first will be children and those suffering from chronic respiratory illnesses."

Indonesia's disaster agency, informed yesterday, that the prolonged haze blanketing the country had cost 10 people's lives so far, with cases of respiratory illnesses increasing by the day

The agency estimated at least half a million people have suffered from respiratory illness since the fires started in July and 43 million people have been affected in the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan.

So, how can we help our neighbours in Indonesia?

While it may seem like there is little we can do to help our neighbours in Indonesia choking on the haze, a trio of young college students proved that all it takes is a great deal of compassion and a little effort to lend a helping hand. The Care 4 Kalimantan campaign is spearheaded by the 22-year-old Heong Kian Kee representing the Rotaract Club of Bangsar and aided by his friends, Nur Farella Najib and Jaishin Singh under the Rotary International District 3300 Malaysia. The aim of the campaign is to raise donations in the form of cash or medical items from the public for the people in the haze engulfed areas of Kalimantan.

Care 4 Kalimantan is organised in collaboration with Indonesia's Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Kalimantan and Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia

These two Indonesian organisations will be helping the Care 4 Kalimantan team to distribute the safety items to the people. The items that you can donate for this cause are; N95 masks, eye drops and adult safety goggles. Should you wish to make cash donations, you can bank in the funds directly into the Rotaract Club of Bangsar's CIMB Bank account (AC No: 1-402-015-9497000).

Quick to offer their support to Care 4 Kalimantan, 3M Malaysia, a leading industrial and safety products creator, will be donating 2400 pieces of N95 masks and 720 pieces of safety goggles worth RM12,956 to Indonesia

Meanwhile, reports by various news sites confirmed that most people living in these hazardous areas in Kalimantan are not fully aware of the dangers of haze

Thus, the Care 4 Kalimantan teams have decided to send a team of 10 volunteers to villages and rural areas in Kalimantan where the less fortunate are not completely aware of the of haze and its effects on the human body. A portion of the funds from the donation will be used to aid the team to educate the forgotten people living in haze-laden towns of Indonesia. Kian Kee stressed that once they have a substantial amount of masks, goggles and eye drops, a small team including himself will be formed and help will be sent over right away.

A lot of attention has been channeled to the nature and wildlife being destroyed by the minute due to the forest fires, while the masses are still unaware of the terrible conditions the people in Indonesia are forced to live with because of the haze.

She then drives away from the scene.

Following the incident, the police have arrested the motorcyclist

According to Harian Metro, the road rage incident took place at a junction in Parit Jawa in Muar, Johor at about 3.25pm on Monday, 15 March.District police chief ACP Zaharudin Rasip said the incident was caused by a misunderstanding between a 25-year-old motorcyclist and a 26-year-old driver."The incident was due to the way how both of them drove or rode, which led to the suspect acting aggressively by breaking the windscreen of the victim's car," Zaharudin said in a statement yesterday."The suspect also broke the side mirror on the driver's side and damaged the front bonnet of the victim's car by using his helmet."He added that the suspect is believed to have mental health problems. He has been sent to Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital for treatment.He also urged netizens to stop sharing the video and photos of the incident to avoid causing misunderstanding in the community. The case is currently being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code for committing mischief.

Meanwhile, the victim revealed in a Facebook post that prior to the incident, she was driving on the straight road before the motorcyclist cut into her lane

"If there is (anyone at fault), it would be him for hitting my car," she wrote in Chinese.The victim took the opportunity to dismiss netizens' allegations, which claimed that she only posted a snippet of the video that shows the motorcyclist's aggression while omitting the part where she had wronged the motorcyclist.In response to that, she said she only started filming when the situation escalated."Who would take their phones to film before anything happened? There must be a situation before we take our phones to film down the incident, right?" she explained.As for the part where she is heard apologising to the motorcyclist at the beginning of the video, she said she merely apologised to calm the man down.The victim also said that she did not know the man had mental health problems, before adding that the reasoning is not enough to justify his intimidating behaviour.

The victim shared a photo of her vehicle after the road rage incident.

Denmark Bans Kosher And Halal Slaughter Saying ‘Animal Rights Come Before Religion’

A Ban On Kosher And Halal Slaughter In Denmark Began Monday, 24 February 2014

Denmark’s government has brought in a ban on the religious slaughter of animals for the production of halal and kosher meat, after years of campaigning from welfare activists.

        dailymail.co.uk

Packages of Halal food are displayed at the Halal show which presents food products for Muslim clients which are prepared following Islamic dietary laws, in Paris.
Image via alarabiya.net

The change to the law, announced last week and effective as of yesterday, has been called “anti-Semitism” by Jewish leaders and “a clear interference in religious freedom” by the non-profit group Danish Halal.

The ban on kosher/halal slaughter in Denmark has been slammed as an 'interference with religious freedom'
Image via independent.co.uk

Traditionally, in order to be considered kosher under Jewish law or halal under Islamic law, animals must be conscious when killed. The new rule, which follows similar regulations in other European countries, requires animals be stunned before slaughter.

        aljazeera.com

Announcing The Ban Last Week, Danish Agriculture And Food Minister Dan Jorgensen Said, "Animal Rights Come Before Religion"

European regulations require animals to be stunned before they are slaughtered, but grants exemptions on religious grounds.

        independent.co.uk

For meat to be considered kosher under Jewish law or halal under Islamic law, the animal must be conscious when killed.

        aljazeera.com

Yet defending his government’s decision to remove this exemption, the minister for agriculture and food Dan Jørgensen told Denmark’s TV2 that “animal rights come before religion”.

        sbs.com.au

Jørgensen once served as president of the Animal Welfare Intergroup, which advocates animal welfare and conservation issues, and he has been widely cited as arguing that that the imperative to legally protect animal welfare trumps religious liberty.

        sbs.com.au

The Ban Has Stirred Deep Controversy Among Muslim And Jewish Groups Both Within The Country And Beyond

The ban was called anti-Semitic by Israel’s deputy minister of religious services; similarly, the Danish non-profit group Danish Halal decried the ban as a clear infringement of religious freedom.

        sbs.com.au

Image via independent.co.uk

Commenting on the change, Israel’s deputy minister of religious services Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan told the Jewish Daily Forward: “European anti-Semitism is showing its true colours across Europe, and is even intensifying in the government institutions.”

        independent.co.uk

Al Jazeera quoted the monitoring group Danish Halal, which launched a petition against the ban, as saying it was “a clear interference in religious freedom limiting the rights of Muslims and Jews to practice their religion in Denmark”.

        aljazeera.com

The Decision Is Likely To Cost Denmark Millions Of Dollars In Trade And Tourism Revenues

The controversial decision is poised to have a drastic effect on the Danish market since the country is likely to come under a comprehensive boycott as it has on more than one occasion in the past, according to a report in Arab News daily.

        ummid.com

The decision effectively ends the sale of halal products, much to the anger of residents across the Kingdom. Sources at the media department of the Council of Saudi Chambers (CSC) have said that the ban should be lifted with immediate effect, saying that it would strain bilateral trade between the two countries, estimated at SR6 billion.

        hannibal.net

The Danish Ministry For Food, Agriculture, And Fisheries Has Released A Statement Addressing The New Regulation On Kosher And Halal Slaughter

"No slaughter without pre-stunning has been registered in Denmark in the last ten years. It is still permitted to import meat slaughtered without pre-stunning. And a very large amount of Danish meat has been, and will continue to be, halal slaughtered, with the animal stunned right before slaughter," says Jørgensen.

Following The Ban On The Religious Slaughter Of Animals, Denmark Has Attempted To Play Down Growing Criticism By Muslims, Saying “Islamic Principles Is Still Legal In Denmark”

Amid calls by Islamic leaders for governments to stop importing Danish meat, Danish Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Dan Jorgensen said in a statement on Sunday that “such (halal) slaughter is still legal in Denmark”.

        arabianbusiness.com

The Danish Embassy in Riyadh also tried to diffuse the situation, telling Arab News “there is no ban on Islamic slaughter in Denmark and animal sacrifice according to Islamic principles is still legal in Denmark”.

Remaja 16 Tahun Dipukul Polis Di Shah Alam Sehingga Retak Kepala Dan Soket Mata Kanan

Pada Sabtu lepas, dilaporkan seorang remaja berusia 16 tahun telah ditahan dan dipukul oleh pihak polis

Kes ini telah dilaporkan oleh Charles Santiago yang merupakan Ahli Parlimen Klang kepada pihak polis sejurus selepas kes ini berlaku.Dikatakan pada malam Sabtu tersebut, Mikail Quay telah keluar menunggang motornya tanpa lesen apabila beliau melalui satu road block di jalan raya. Setelah beliau ternampak sekumpulan pihak polis di jalan raya tersebut, beliau bercadang untuk melepaskan diri dari situ."Seorang pegawai polis tiba-tiba keluar dari semak dan menghentak topi keledar saya sehingga patah. Kemudian, mereka menyuruh saya menolak motosikal kira-kira 50 meter ke sekatan jalan raya, di mana di situ saya jatuh rebah di tepi jalan," cerita Mikail.

Image via @mpklang

"Mikail tidak layak untuk mendapat layanan seperti itu. Dia mungkin mengalami kerosakan otak atau kehilangan penglihatan pada masa depan," kata bapa mangsa, Amirul Quay.

Oleh kerana keretakan yang teruk di kepalanya dan juga pada soket mata kanan dan hidung, beliau telah ditahan di dalam wad di Hospital Shah Alam dan dirawat di sana. Menurut bapanya Amirul Quay, selain daripada kecederaan, terdapat juga pendarahan kecil di dalam otak anaknya itu."Ya saya tahu bahawa dia telah melakukan suatu kesalahan. Tetapi cukuplah hanya sekadar mendakwanya di mahkamah atau menegur ibu bapa kerana kecuaian kami. Bukan dengan cara begini, ini bukanlah hukuman yang betul. Dia hanya berusia 16 tahun. Kenapa harus anak saya diperlakukan sebegini?" rintih Amirul Quay.

Image via Charles Santiago

Apa-apapun kami berharap agar pihak polis dapat menerangkan hal sebenar akan insiden yang telah berlaku ini

Dengan bantuan yang diberi oleh Charles Santiago dan juga rakannya, kini bapa Mikail sudah pun selesai membuat laporan kepada pihak polis. Buat masa sekarang, sebarang komen dan kenyataan tidak lagi diberi oleh pihak polis. Kini kita hanya dapat mengharapkan agar keadaan Mikail dapat pulih seperti biasa.

Bomb Scare: KL Construction Site 'Hand Grenade' Turns Out To Be RM47 Power Bank

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

Workers at a construction site in Kuala Lumpur got a scare when they discovered an object resembling a hand grenade while excavating the area last Friday, 7 May

However, it turned out to be a false alarm as the 'bomb' was actually a power bank.

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS (Facebook)

Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Mohamad Zainal Abdullah said the police were alerted about the suspicious device at the Tun Razak Exchange construction site around 12.50pm

"A team from the Bomb Disposal Unit (UPB) was immediately dispatched to the scene to inspect the object found by the workers," he said in a statement on Sunday, 9 May, reported Harian Metro.A police patrol unit was also deployed to the location to control the perimeter.However, Mohamad Zainal said that after careful investigation was carried out by the UPB, they confirmed it was a power bank, not a hand grenade.

The tense situation was shared by one of the construction site's managers on Facebook as it unfolded on Friday

"Subcontractor told us he found a hand bomb after digging a drain," Mohd Nurul Syuhada WC wrote in a post.However, after quickly alerting the police and having the situation defused within two hours, he said he was thankful for the police response even though the 'bomb' turned out to be a fake."I went to check online and found that the power bank is a brand from China," he added, sharing a screenshot of the product priced at RM47 on Shopee.
