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

Meet Felicia Yoon, the co-founder of social enterprise Arus Academy

Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Yoon heads the school at Arus Academy, where they focus on bringing experiential learning and quality education to underprivileged children.They aim to bridge the gap of education inequity in Malaysia.

Graduating with a degree in Actuarial Science from the London School of Economics, Yoon found herself drawn instead to a two-year teaching program called Teach For Malaysia when she first graduated

"It was advertised as a program where the best and brightest would be trained and placed in high-need schools as a teacher to reduce education inequity," the 32-year-old told SAYS in an interview."At that time, I thought that was perfect for me. I had always wanted to climb the corporate ladder, but I also wanted to do something meaningful before selling my soul to the corporate world."She signed up for Teach For Malaysia in 2013, and was placed as a Bahasa Melayu and English teacher at a secondary school in Penang.During her time teaching, she quickly witnessed the education gap between students at high-need schools and other national schools due to lack of resources, manpower, and technology."Many students were not motivated to learn and tuned out from school because they could not see the relevance and application of education in their daily lives," Yoon said.

However, deep down, she knew these students wanted to learn

Yoon told the story of how during her first year as a teacher, she came to know a student in the last class of Form 1, who came to every class, followed all her lessons, and was very diligent in completing her homework.However, she also knew that the same student had failed every subject in UPSR just a year prior.Coincidentally, a few months into the job, the student came up to her and said, "Teacher, you know, when I was in primary school, nobody cared if I went to school, so I just decided to not go.""But then I came here, and I didn't know why you were so particular about students coming to school. I see you would call them if they didn't come and you paid so much attention to our class when most teachers wouldn't even care to teach because they think we're so far behind. I suddenly feel like I want to try because you are trying."Yoon said the student made her realise that her actions as a teacher, no matter how small or big, have such an influence on a student's life."She picked up on my efforts and that became her motivation to learn. As a teacher, these littlest incidents mean the world to me, although it may seem insignificant to others," Yoon shared.

With a clear mission in mind, she and three other Teach For Malaysia fellows founded Arus Academy to bridge the education gap and create a learning environment where underprivileged children can gain meaningful education

To date, they have impacted over 2,200 students and 360 teachers by creating and providing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-based experiential learning to students who do not have the same opportunities in government schools.The centre hopes that their project-based learning approach will inspire students to get hands-on in learning subjects such as design thinking, coding, robotics, programming, financial literacy, data analytics, and 3D modelling to help them in their future.

Needless to say, Yoon has been in the education industry for close to 10 years now and has not gone back to the corporate world

"There is just so much to be done in this field and the more minds working at it, the better," she shared with SAYS.Arus Academy is currently working with Buku Jalanan Chow Kit to provide meaningful education to the marginalised community in Kuala Lumpur."We want to build a school that is so impactful that when someone talks about Chow Kit, you will not think of poverty, immigrants, or prostitution, but of good kids, a good school, and the fact that we churn out really great human beings here," Yoon said.She hopes that the public and more privileged Malaysians will help her and her colleagues make their dream a reality by being inclusive, volunteering at their centre, donating books, offering more opportunities to these children, or just by sharing about their expertise.

Gara-Gara 'Viral' Gambar Tolak Motor Lebih 10KM, Lelaki Ini Terima Pelbagai Tawaran Kerja

Sesungguhnya rezeki Allah SWT itu cukup luas

Rezeki terdiri dari dua jenis iaitu rezeki kita cari dan rezeki yang datang dengan sendirinya. Dalam riwayat, rezeki yang datang kepada kita disebut sebagai “rezeki thālib” manakala rezeki yang kita cari dinamakan “rezeki mathlūb”.

Untuk mendapat rezeki maṭlūb, setiap orang harus menadahkan tangannya berdoa  ke hadrat Ilahi disertai dengan usaha dan kesungguhan. Dengan berfikir, bertafakkur, berkerja, menggerakkan seluruh anggota badan, ia mampu mengubah sisi kualiti dan kuantiti rezeki yang diperolehnya.

Image via Harian Metro

Selain itu, kita juga biasa mendengar orang berkata bahawa dalam rezeki kita, terdapat juga rezeki orang lainApa yang dimaksudkan disini adalah terdapat bahagian dalam setiap rezeki kita yang mungkin dipercayai milik orang lain. Rezeki ini boleh dilihat sebagai amalan yang wajib kita lakukan seperti membayar zakat di samping amalan sunat seperti memberi sedekah jariah, atau menolong mereka yang memerlukan dalam apa jua cara.

Image via Al Mukhlisin

Dan perlu kita yakini bahawa dalam setiap rezeki yang kita kongsikan baik dari segi bersedekah mahupun menolong orang lain, kita bukan sahaja akan mendapat ganjaran pahala bahkan Allah SWT akan turut menambah rezeki kita.

Baru-baru ini, beberapa gambar seorang lelaki sedang menolak motosikalnya yang pancit telah viral  di laman sosial

Syed Hassen yang berasa kasihan telah mengikut Shahrul dari belakang untuk memastikan keselamatan dia dan anaknya terjaga hingga mereka tiba di bengkel motosikal.Lelaki itu kemudiannya telah membawa kedua anak beranak itu makan nasi kandar sambil berkongsi cerita. Sebelum mereka berpisah, Syed Hassen lalu meminta kebenaran dari bapa tersebut untuk berkongsikan kisah dirinya kepada masyarakat.

The Sony A7 II Offers Full-Frame Photography That's Totally Noob-Friendly

This Spotlight is sponsored by Sony.

Are you looking to level up your photography skills and invest in a camera?

Image via Gifer

The Sony A7 II is a full-frame camera that's easy to use and ideal for both beginners and amateur photographers

Image via Melissa Keizer

If you're feeling intimidated by the big DSLR cameras that professionals carry, the A7 II is a great alternative!The compact mirrorless camera comes with a full-frame (i.e. very large) image sensor. Not sure what that means? Read on, budding photog!

What exactly is full-frame photography?

Back in the days before digital was a thing, the rectangle that captured the image on a standard SLR (the film) was one size: 24mm x 36mm. That became the standard throughout the industry.Early digital cameras had much smaller imaging sensors than the 35mm film. The sensor's size is known as the "crop factor." Basically it's like taking the middle of the image, and cutting out the edges. Feeling confused? This image should help!

Image via Digital Photography School

So if a sensor is 24mm x 36mm, then there is no crop factor, since it covers the same area as 35mm film.The Sony A7 II provides full-frame image quality in a package that's much more compact than a DSLR.

Full-frame photography with the Sony A7 II provides better images in low light and greater control over depth of field

Image via SAYS

Full-frame DSLRs tend to be pretty big and heavy, this camera offers full-frame in a smaller package. This means it's much easier to bring along with you, whether you're going to the park for a walk, cafe-hopping with friends, on vacation, or just everyday use.

We tried the Sony A7 II for a few weeks and it was honestly really noob-friendly

Image via Tang Ruxyn/SAYS

Image via Tang Ruxyn/SAYS

We mostly just took the point-and-shoot route and let the camera do all the work. There are lots of modes to play around with, but we mostly kept it on "auto" and it worked out great :P The autofocus is reliable and fast, so you can get your shot pretty quickly.

We were also impressed with its ability to take high quality shots in low light :)

Image via Tang Ruxyn/SAYS

Image via Tang Ruxyn/SAYS

The electronic viewfinder is super helpful because you're able to preview settings while composing your shot.

Another great feature to play around with is the Bokeh Effect

Image via SAYS

You can get in real close to snap the perfect pic of your subject easily, making it the focus of your image. We took the shot of our tiny succulents while on auto mode! Just point, focus, and click.

Image via SAYS

And of course, we love the easy transfer from camera to smartphone, allowing us to upload our images on to social media really easily

Image via SAYS

Because it's so noob-friendly, pretty much all of us took turns shooting everywhere we went :D

Overall, the Sony A7 II is an excellent camera for both entry level and amateur photographers

In a bid to strengthen Sony's position as the future of digital imaging, you're invited to join the movement!Check out the perks of being part of the Alpha Full Framer campaign:1) Share your skills and check out the work of others in continuous photo contests2) Get hands-on shooting experience in Full Frame workshops3) Join seminars and learn from photography experts4) Win exclusive premium giveaways during full frame activitiesFind out more at the Alpha Universe Malaysia Facebook page!

These Iconic Buildings In KL Will Be Getting A Makeover Because Their Roofs May Collapse

The iconic buildings on Jalan Raja and Jalan Tun Perak will be restored back to its former glory

New Straits Times reported the decaying century-old cluster of colonial buildings at the junction of Jalan Raja and Jalan Tun Perak will be given a facelift.All the work that is put into the buildings will be monitored by registered conservators under the National Heritage Department (NHD).

Image via goKL.my

One of the buildings due for a facelift is the former home of the Federated Malay States (FMS) Survey Office and Supreme Court

Image via Wiki Wand

According to The Star, the old Supreme Court building was completed in 1915.Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) later turned it into the National Heritage Department office.The buildings are gazetted as national heritage under Category One of the National Heritage Act 2005.

The Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture has handed over the buildings to DBKL for the RM120 million upgrade

It is suspected that out of the RM120 million, about RM10 to RM15 million will go to the cost of plugging leaks and fixing the roofs and domes. DBKL's Project Implementation and Building Maintenance Department senior deputy director Norzaini Noordin said it would take some time for the FMS Survey Office to be restored as it was in a bad state.In an exclusive interview with New Straits Times, experts say the roof and the two domes on Jalan Tun Perak may collapse in the next five years if they do not do anything soon.

Image via New Straits Times

The FMS Survey Office building appears to be in the worst state

The exterior walls, plastering, and the brickwork of the old Supreme Court and the FMS Survey Office are peeling off.A tree was found growing in its air well, while the roof and other wooden structures like the staircase crumbled under the weight of neglect.Budget constraints are believed to be the reason why the ministry relinquished the management and operation of the buildings.The ministry had told The New Straits Times that Think City Sdn Bhd reported it would take RM200 million to restore the buildings.

Upon its reopening, a bangsawan (Malay opera) play will be performed at Panggung Bandaraya

Norzaini mentioned that Panggung Bandaraya (at the old City Hall), parts of the old City Hall headquarters, and the courtyard will be opened to the public in May.Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan told New Straits Times that when the building reopens, it will be open to the public and access will be free.Visitors will be allowed to walk inside the buildings and take pictures, but those who want to use them for private functions will have to pay."Our main concern is securing the place. We need to have enough guards. I am afraid that the homeless will make [this] place theirs, they have been using the fountain at the Sultan Abdul Samad Building area to bathe," he said.

Two British Medical Students Stabbed To Death In Kuching

The Murder Of Two British Medical Students In Kuching Started With A Slap

Four Malaysian men arrested in connection with the stabbing deaths of two British medical students have confessed to the killings that occurred after an alcohol-fuelled argument, police.
Image via asiaone.com

Police have arrested four male suspects, aged between 19 and 30, and confiscated a knife they believe was used in the killings. "All the four men have admitted to the crime. We are investigating them for murder," Mr Chai Khin Chung, Sarawak's deputy police chief, told AFP by phone.

        straitstimes.com

One of the suspected killers of the two British medical students, who were stabbed to death in Kuching early yesterday morning, said he was enraged after one of the Brits slapped him during a row that broke out between them in an all-night coffeeshop where they had been drinking, police sources said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The source said the suspect and his three friends first tried to grab and assault Neil Dalton and Aidan Brunger, both 22, who were on a six-week work placement at the Sarawak general hospital, but they managed to flee the coffeeshop.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The suspect and his friends then used their car to chase Dalton and Brunger and caught up with them 50 metres down the road as they were walking to their backpacker lodging house about 1km away, said the source.

        themalaysianinsider.com

What followed next in the 4.15am incident was related by a witness who told police one of the men alighted from the car holding what looked like a knife. The witness said the man chased both the Brits, stabbing the first once, before chasing down the other and stabbing him a few times.

        themalaysianinsider.com

They could face the death sentence.

A key piece in the police’s efforts to investigating the crime and solving it in record time was the witness’ presence of mind to take down the registration number of the suspects’ car. That information led to the arrests of three of the suspects within an hour of the crime being reported. The fourth was arrested at his home at around 4.45pm.

Labour Shortage Has Forced Over 2,000 Mamaks To Close Their Businesses

There's a massive labour shortage in Malaysia and it's plaguing the catering and restaurant sector amidst the pandemic, according to the Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Entrepreneurs Association (PRESMA)

The shortage of foreign workers and the difficulties in getting locals to fill the vacancies has, in fact, forced over 2,000 mamaks to permanently close since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.PRESMA president Datuk Jawahar Ali Taib Khan described the labour shortage as critical for the sector.He said the shortage has had a major impact on the survival of the restaurant industry since the ban on the entry of foreign workers was enforced following the pandemic, reported Berita Harian."Of the 12,000 members registered with PRESMA, now more than 2,000 members have closed operations in the last two years due to a number of factors, mostly due to lack of manpower," Jawahar said.

And amidst the shortage of foreign workers, Jawahar said that while the association is now opening up opportunities to the local workforce, there is no response from Malaysians to work in mamak restaurants

PRESMA members, he said, are always ready to respond to the government's call to hire local workers, but unfortunately, it is difficult to given the lack of interest shown by Malaysians."We put up posters at members' restaurants calling on locals to apply, but the response has been cold. The ones who come for the job are senior citizens who are short of money or foreigners who ran away from their employers in other sectors such as farm labour or immigrants."We don't discriminate against senior citizens who are still able to work even though we need the youth's strength in this line of work. Young people prefer to work in the gig economy sectors... probably because of the flexible working hours," he added.

30,000 more workers needed to fill up the vacancies nationwide

"The association's members have now been reduced to about 10,000 only because many have had to completely close down their restaurant operations because it is difficult to find employees," he said.According to Jawahar, many foreign workers who previously used MyTravelPass to go home before the movement control order (MCO) could not re-enter due to the pandemic, thus affecting mamaks nationwide."Although there is no MCO, and the economic situation is improving, the worker shortage continues to affect restaurant operations. Some mamak restaurants have been forced to operate with fewer employees. They are focusing on how best to serve their customers. When it involves customers it gives a direct impact to us," Berita Harian quoted him as saying.The massive shortage of employees is also creating a very chaotic situation in daily operations."There is also the problem of unskilled workers. Usually, there are a few trained or skilled workers to handle the duties in every service department in a mamak restaurant. For example, workers who serve beverages do not work as food delivery staff or the cook. Then there are also staff specially tasked to maintain the cleanliness, including cleaning the toilets."So, when there is a shortage of workers, operations are disrupted. The most worrying factor is the issue of cleanliness which is PRESMA's priority," he said.

In December last year, eateries proposed to hike up the price for menu items by 10 to 20% to cover a 30% increment in cost this year:

Prices of food and beverages are expected to increase by 10 to 20% to cover the rising costs.

M'sian Duo Makes Dalgona Candy So You Can Do Your Own Squid Game Challenge With Your Kawan

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

By now, you've probably seen dalgona candy all over your social media feed following Netflix's latest South Korean series, Squid Game

Image via Netflix/Mashable Southeast Asia

If you've never heard of it or have yet to watch Squid Game, dalgona candy is a traditional South Korean sweet, which was used as part of a challenge in one of the episodes. It's a honeycomb toffee sold by street vendors who prepare it using a soup ladle. The sugar is melted and formed into a flat, round disc with a shape, like a star, umbrella, circle, or triangle, imprinted in its centre.

Jumping on the trend, a Malaysian mother-daughter duo have started a small online business making and selling these popular candy discs

Image via @dalgonamalaysia (Instagram)

Jessie Chong's real estate career was put on hold due to the pandemic. To try and make ends meet, she opened a hawker stall selling Western cuisine. But eventually went back to real estate as she preferred the schedule. With things only slowly picking up now, the 53-year-old decided to use her free time by following her daughter, Elaine's, suggestion to join the Squid Game hype.

Image via @dalgonamalaysia (Instagram)

Instead of waiting around for appointments, she watched YouTube tutorials on how to make dalgona candy and tried it out

"I went through a lot a lot of experiments before I started to get the hang of it. The ingredients looked easy, but the process and timing of it takes practice, and I had a lot of failed candies that went to the dustbin," Chong tells SAYS.Although the Netflix series was what inspired them, she shares that they'd been looking for opportunities to start an online business for quite some time.

Image via @dalgonamalaysia (Instagram)

Made of sugar, baking soda, olive oil, and sugar powder, the taste of the candy is sweet and crunchy. She adds that it's just overall fun for the Squid Game dalgona candy challenge.

As depicted in the Netflix series, the game is called Ppopgi and it was played by South Korean children in the '60s and '70s. The aim of the game is that you need to use a needle or toothpick to carve out the centre shape of the candy disc without breaking it.

Image via @dalgonamalaysia (Instagram)

"Shapes we have at the moment are circle, star, flower, and heart." However, they're working on getting the umbrella shape and a limited amount of dalgona candy round tins just like the ones in Squid Game.Aside from the candy, they make dalgona milk, and are taking on large custom orders for upcoming events.

Image via @dalgonamalaysia (Instagram)

If you need a party game, the dalgona candies would be a fun item to bring and see who can remove the shape in the quickest amount of time

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by @dalgonamalaysia

Each candy disc is RM6, and if you get a set of four with different shapes, it's RM20

They are doing deliveries to areas in KL and PJ. To order, just drop them a message on Instagram. Or you can search for DalgonaMalaysia on GrabFood.

Malaysian Regrets Going To Singapore For Work Due To Toxic Work Culture

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

Are Singaporeans harsh, gossipy, and unfriendly? According to a Facebook user, apparently so.

For many Malaysians, working in Singapore is an economically fruitful decision. Not only is it the financial epicentre of Southeast Asia, but factors like a stronger currency, as well as the offer of higher salaries and increments make it a highly attractive choice for potential job seekers as well.While Singapore's exponential economic growth is certainly something to be envied, as this anonymous Facebook user will tell you, their corporate climate is arguably less so.On 14 November, a confession post by an unnamed individual appeared on Facebook page Ricebowl, wherein the user detailed the circumstances leading up to their move to Singapore, and their less than ideal experience with the work culture there.

In the post, the anonymous user wrote that they had worked in Malaysia for three years prior to the move.
However, low salaries and high inflation rates prevented them from saving up, prompting them to look Southward.

"At this rate, I'm going to still be in the the 'moonlight clan' in my 30's, and that's simply not feasible," they lamented. The term refers to young, usually single professionals who spend their salaries faster than they earn it, living paycheque to paycheque.As such, the Facebook user decided to prioritise their finances. Looking toward Singapore with its favourable exchange rates and high salaries, they figured that in two to three years, they would be able to return with some savings at the very least."I was lucky to find a white-collar job with a decent salary, so without thinking it over too much, I flew there immediately," they said.

But it wasn't all sunshine, roses, and dollar bills like they had hoped.
Upon beginning their job, the unnamed user began to regret their decision, citing the pain of working with kiasu co-workers.

"I've always considered myself quite a hardworking person, unafraid of enduring hardship. However, my work environment and the people in it have a big influence on me," they said.They claimed that the Singaporeans they came across were competitive and very harsh in how they spoke."My colleagues love to gossip behind people's backs, which made the environment unbearable," they complained, adding that there were other moments of "culture shock" that they did not wish to detail.

Despite that, there were still sizeable advantages to working in Singapore

The user enjoyed the fact that transport was very convenient, food prices were affordable, and despite the high rent, savings were possible as rent was proportional to the pay.Ultimately, however, they offset this by saying that, "If you were only focused on earning money, the situation seems great. But the suffering you have to endure at work is hard to swallow."

"If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have come to Singapore," they said, concluding that, "Malaysians are simply more loveable"

They explained that they are currently unable to leave as they signed a contract, and would just have to "endure it" for now."I can only hope that after I resign in six months [when my contract has expired], I can find a better company [in Singapore]. Otherwise, I'll return to Malaysia," they added.Lamenting about how every day feels like a year of torture, they wondered, "Why do we have to come to Singapore to earn a living? When will our country be better? Then we wouldn't have to leave home."

Netizens have since chimed in with their own varying experiences and opinions

One user claims she had similar toxic work culture experiences when working in Singapore too, but in the end, she chose to persevere for the sake of financial rewards."I also had to endure working at a [Singaporean] company for a long time, suffering through the cold shoulder treatment and ridicule from my colleagues, as well as unequal treatment.""But then, I asked myself if my economic circumstances would improve if I returned. If I go back, can I save RM1,000 a month? If I return [to Malaysia] and put in the same amount of hard work as I do here, will I see the same amount of returns? My heart already had the answer, so in the end I continued to persist!"

Image via Facebook

Another user bluntly stated that, "With gains, come losses. If you want money, you have to be willing to lose your freedom and lose face."They also encouraged the original poster (OP), arguing that Singapore does have lovely people, but perhaps they just haven't met them yet.

Image via Facebook

Additionally, there were some users who chimed in with their own good experiences with their Singaporean colleagues, and others who stated toxic work environments exist in Malaysian companies too, highlighting the subjectivity of the anonymous Facebook user's experience.

Is a toxic work culture exclusive to Singapore? Would you choose money or emotional wellbeing?

Sendat Falls also known Hutan Lipur Sungai Sendat consists of two tiers. One of which takes only about a 10-minute walk from the parking lot.  At the main waterfall, there's a small pool where you can swim and many often camp near here as well. There may be an entrance fee of RM2 per adult and RM1 for children.

Disclaimer (30 April): Chiling Falls is temporarily closed until further notice for maintenance and fish conservation.One of the more popular ones in Selangor, Chiling Falls takes a bit of hiking to get to and requires you to cross the stream several times but it is quite a beautiful sight once you arrive. It's about a 30-minute to one-hour trek to reach the main waterfall. And you might even spot fish along the way! You can feed them with fish food purchased at the entrance of the waterfall.It can get pretty crowded at the main waterfall, especially on weekends, but chilling at the lower levels is just as fun.

2. Bukit Apeh or Bukit Saga Falls

Unlike the others, Bukit Saga Falls or Apeh Waterfall is not as big (around 7m high) but it's quite picturesque and a good place to soak in nature. Stand underneath the waterfall for a refreshing jolt of cool water!The trail to the waterfall, which takes around 1.5 hours, is steep in certain areas. If you're someone who enjoys the hike more than the destination, it's definitely worth checking out.

3. Pisang Falls

Pisang Falls takes about 50 minutes to an hour to trek from its main entrance and requires you to cross the stream several times. Along the trek, you'll need to go through two huge tunnels underneath the Karak Highway. The trek will soon split into two routes (Route 1 on the right and Route 2 on the left).Route 1 will take you to the base of the waterfall, while Route 2 will take you to the top of the falls. Route one is said to be a slightly easier trek, as Route two requires you to navigate a steep and narrow ledge, which might be difficult with children. There may be an entrance fee of RM1 per adult and RM5 for parking.

4. Ulu Tamu Falls

Located just an hour away from KL, Ulu Tamu Falls takes about 30 minutes to reach but requires visitors to wade through knee-deep water (unless you're driving a 4WD!). You'll pass orchards along the way and eventually reach a junction. The left trail will take you to the first waterfall called Jeram Antu, which has a nice pool for you to dip your legs in. However, if you take the right fork, it will lead you to a second, slightly larger waterfall.

5. Kemensah Falls

Kemensah Falls is a 38m-high waterfall that takes about an hour to trek to, with some steep slopes along the way. It's a beautiful waterfall that hits huge boulders at the base so there isn't any pool to swim in. Nevertheless, it offers quite a spectacular view with streams along the way where you can relax at.

6. Sungai Luit or Lata Makau Falls

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Ning (@ningspics)

It takes about two to three hours to hike to Sungai Luit also known as Lata Makau Falls. And the trek can be pretty challenging for some, requiring you to cross several streams, but it's totally worth it. The waterfall itself plunges into a large emerald-like pool, which is rewarding after a long hike.

7. Setinggi Falls

It takes about two to three hours to reach Setinggi Falls from Klinik Serendah. But if you want a shorter hike, you can trek from Jalan Melur, which will take around 40 minutes to an hour instead.Once you reach, you can either relax on one of the huge boulders by the waterfall or sit right underneath it for a good massage. ;)

If you head to any of these waterfalls, please look after Mother Earth and leave nothing behind but your footprints!


4 Sebab Utama Mengapa #CleverGirlMy Kena Kutuk Bertubi-Tubi Sejak Awal Siarannya

Seperti yang sedia maklum, sejak awal siarannya, rancangan realiti TV3 iaitu Clever Girl telah mendapat banyak kritikan dari rakyat Malaysia

Clever Girl merupakan sebuah program realiti berkonsepkan game show yang mencari gadis paling bijak di negara ini. Oleh itu, 14 peserta wanita yang berperwatakan menarik dan bijak pandai dipilih melalui sesi uji bakat bagi mewakili setiap negeri di Malaysia.

Image via www.1malaysia.biz

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Rangkaian Televisyen Media Prima, Ahmad Izham Omar menerusi satu sidang media Januari lalu memberitahu tujuan utama program ini dibuat adalah untuk menguji pengetahuan 14 gadis terbabit untuk dinobatkan sebagai Clever Girl pertama Malaysia.

Pemilihan ini bakal membuktikan mereka adalah yang terbaik di antara yang terbaik. Tunjang utamanya adalah pengetahuan yang menjadi senjata utama bagi setiap peserta dalam program ini. Bahkan, biar setinggi mana pun tahap pendidikan peserta, ia juga bukan jaminan utama dalam program terbabit.

        sinarharian.com.my

Sebelum siarannya, promosi dan iklan program ini di kaca televisyen kelihatan sangat mengujakan kerana membawakan sesuatu yang agak berlainan untuk program realiti di Malaysia

Image via www.sinarharian.com.my

Malah, idol-idol program ini juga terdiri daripada wanita-wanita yang hebat dalam bidang masing-masing antaranya Vanidah Imran, Cheryl Samad, Marion Caunter dan banyak lagi.

×

Bagaimanapun, sehingga kini Clever Girl masih lagi dikecam dan mendapat kritikan orang ramai mengenai pesertanya yang dilabel "beauty without brain"

14 gadis jelitawan yang menjadi peserta program ini dikatakan tidak memipunyai IQ yang tinggi seperti digambarkan kerana gagal menjawab soalan yang dilihat seakan pop kuiz. Malah beberapa soalan yang diberikan di dalam program tersebut dianggap mudah dan tidak begitu mencabar.

Image via Twitter #CleverGirlMY

Sebabnya:
#1. Pada episod pertama, seorang peserta dari Johor, Wan Zarith Sofea telah menerima komen negatif orang ramai apabila tidak dapat membezakan antara Mahatma Gandhi dan Mother Teresa

Image via Twitter @FiyfIsme

Image via Twitter @BellaRdwan

#2. Pada episod kedua pula, peserta yang mewakili Selangor, Arina Mohd Fairin turut dihentam orang ramai kerana gagal mengenalpasti bilangan warna bendera Malaysia

Peserta tersebut memberi jawapan bahawa Jalur Gemilang mempunyai 5 warna sedangkan sebagai rakyat Malaysia, pastinya semua orang mengetahui jawapan sebenar adalah 4.

×

#3. Pada episod ketiga pula, sekali lagi #clevergirlMY menjadi trending di Twitter. Kali ini orang ramai menghentam pihak produksi pula kerana memberi fakta salah mengenai filem Bujang Lapok lakonan Allahyarham Tan Sri P. Ramlee

Soalan kali ini berbunyi “Berapa banyakkah filem P. Ramlee yang ada perkataan Bujang Lapok” dan sejurus selepas itu, pengacara rancangan tersebut, Alif Satar, mengesahkan jawapannya adalah tiga.Ini menimbulkan kemarahan orang ramai, kerana jawapan sebenar adalah 4 dan bukanlah 3.

#4. Dalam masa yang sama, ada yang menyifatkan soalan yang diberikan pihak produksi juga begitu mudah apatah lagi soalan berkaitan hiburan yang dianggap tidak menguji IQ para peserta

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

The police have now revealed that the victim in the recent murder case in Tengkera, Melaka not only made lewd comments about a woman's breast size, but also her bottom

According to Harian Metro, the discovery was made following further investigations.It is understood that the victim, who worked as a scrap metal outlet manager, made the remarks about the woman's body to his friends, eventually leading to a fierce fight on Jalan Kenanga after a bodyguard accompanying the woman and her boyfriend heard them, reported China Press.In a statement yesterday, 11 May, Melaka Tengah district police chief ACP Christopher Patit said it was the bodyguard who pulled out a knife from his pocket to stab the victim in the front and back."The results of the doctor's examination revealed four stab wounds (on the deceased), namely on the left and right ribs, one of which hit the heart. The other stab hit the heart (as well), in addition to another stab at the back of the body," Harian Metro quoted him as saying."The cause of the victim's death was stab wounds to his heart," Patit explained.

According to the district police chief, the victim had come out from an entertainment outlet with his friends prior to the incident

While intoxicated, he went to a stall in that area for supper with his friends.When they were about to leave, the victim made lewd comments about the female suspect in Tamil, which were overheard by her boyfriend's bodyguard.It is alleged that the boyfriend is a businessman with a 'Datuk Seri' title, and is married with three kids. He acted aggressively toward the victim during the fracas, constantly asking the victim, "You mana punya budak? (Where are you from?)"Patit said after the arrest of nine suspects involved in the case, the police found a motorcycle belonging to the bodyguard in Banda Hilir, where a knife was found in the pannier, reported China Press.

Image via Facebook

Meanwhile, recently surfaced closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage shows the female suspect seemingly trying to break up the fight, only to be pushed to the ground

The footage was taken from a CCTV setup located in front of a shoplot. It shows a group of approximately 10 people engaging in a fistfight while the female suspect tries to separate herself from the brawl.She is also seen making a phone call during the chaos.

Chinese Tourists Arrested For Peeing In One Of The Oldest Gardens In The World

China just can't seem to get a break from gracing the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
On Saturday, 29 October, two Chinese tourists were arrested by Sydney police for pissing in the city's Royal Botanic Garden.

The beautiful Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney, Australia.

The Royal Botanic Garden is considered as the oldest scientific institution in Australia and one of the most important historic botanical institutions in the world.

The duo were caught with their zippers down by police on patrol in the garden grounds

Image via Shanghaiist

According to Shanghaiist, pictures of the tourists went viral on the popular messaging app WeChat.The image above shows them being given a lecture by the apprehending officers.

The men, aged 66 and 41, tried to run away from the police when they were spotted. The police chased the misbehaving visitors and pinned them down on the ground before handcuffing them.

Image via Shanghaiist

According to witnesses, the incident was such a shame since the public bathroom was literally a few steps away from the garden.

The older man who got into a scuffle with police was charged with resisting arrest and offensive behavior. He will be set to appear in court next month. The younger man was given a stern warning.

Image via Shanghaiist

Lesson to be learned here - never, EVER pee in public. Toilets are put in place for a reason.

Recently, a Chinese man tried to show off his masculinity by wrestling a panda. Let's just say it didn't end really well:

Britney Spears' Father To Step Down As Conservator Of The Singer's USD60 Million Estate

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

Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears has said that he intends to step down as the singer's conservator after over a decade, amidst controversy and months of public pressure from Britney's supporters

Responding to a petition for him to be removed as conservator, the father's lawyer said that while there were "no actual grounds" for removal, he has become "the unremitting target of unjustified attacks".The legal response, sighted by SAYS, went on to state that although it's "highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time" will serve Britney's best interests, her father "does not believe that a public battle with his daughter" over his continuing service as her conservator is in her best interests."So even though he must contest this unjustified petition for his removal, Mr Spears intends to work with the court and his daughter's new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator."

In July this year, Britney, in an emotional appeal to court, called the 13-year-long conservatorship a "f---ing cruelty", and said that she wants to press charges against her father for "conservatorship abuse"

Her career has been in the hands of legal guardians since 2008 over mental health concerns.The court-ordered agreement, which is split into two parts, gave her father control over her estate and other aspects of her life. While one part covers her estate and financial affairs, the other is for her as a person.Her father stepped down as his daughter's personal conservator in 2019 due to health issues, following which Britney filed a petition in July 2021 to remove him from controlling her estate, too.She also went on to say that she will not perform again while he controlled her life.Following Britney's allegations in July, her father, however, said that he will not step down.

The singer's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, has welcomed her father's latest decision, calling it a "vindication for Britney"

"We are pleased that Mr Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed. It is vindication for Britney," CNN quoted the singer's lawyer as saying."We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms Spears and others. We look forward to continuing our vigorous investigation into the conduct of Mr Spears, and others, over the past 13 years, while he reaped millions of dollars from his daughter's estate, and I look forward to taking Mr Spears's sworn deposition in the near future."

However, even though Jamie Spears may no longer control Britney's estate, there's no indication that the court will revoke the conservatorship as someone else may be appointed in his place

As stated in the legal response, while the father intends to step down as his daughter's conservator, he also wants a transition period during which they would work with the court to find a new conservator.The legal response also states that "there are no urgent circumstances" justifying the father's immediate suspension and that an orderly transition based on "cooperation" will be in Britney's best interests."Regardless of his formal title, Mr Spears will always be Ms Spears' father, he will always love her unconditionally, and he will always look out for her best interests," the document further states.

Meanwhile, taking to her Instagram account earlier today, 13 August, Britney shared that she's now "one step" closer to freedom

This Man Was Using His Apple AirPods When It Started Smoking And Then Exploded

A man in Florida claimed that one of his AirPods caught smoke while he was listening to music

According to The Sun, Jason Colon was using his AirPods at a local gym when he realised that there was smoke coming out of his right AirPod.He quickly took the AirPods out and ran to get help.

When he came back, the right AirPod had already burst open and showed signs of flame damage

Image via TweakTown

According to News Channel 8, Jason was shocked when he returned to see the state his AirPod was in."It was already popped. I didn't see it happen, but I mean, it was already fried," he told the channel.

Jason is thankful that he removed the AirPods from his ears just in time

"I don't know what would've happened to my ear...it could've been (my) ear lobe. Ear lobe could've been burnt," he said.Jason still isn't sure what happened to his AirPod, but he wants to warn others about it. However, 9to5Mac reported that Jason suspects it to be a battery problem."Just because it happens to me doesn't mean it won't happen again," he said.

Image via The Sun

In light of Jason's claims, an Apple spokesperson announced that the company is investigating the matter and will reach out to him

Would this incident deter you from buying the Apple AirPods? Let us know in the comments below.

Last month, an analyst predicted that Apple may discontinue the iPhone X this year:

                Apple To Discontinue The iPhone X Mid-2018?

This could be the first time Apple has cancelled a phone model since the iPhone 5C in 2014.

You Would’ve Cursed This Lorry Driver For Causing A Jam But There’s More To The Story

When Mogan Ram took a detour from his normal route last Friday, 15 January, he hoped to avoid the terrible Friday traffic. Instead, the 27-year-old ended up spending more time on the road, but for an unexpected reason - he stopped to help a road accident victim.

Malaysia is notorious for traffic congestion, especially during peak hours.
Image via The Star Online

"On my way back from work, instead of taking my usual Mont Kiara-Sprint route, I chose to take the Damansara-Sprint route to head home. Just before the Midvalley-Damansara fork, I saw a lorry involved in an accident," Mogan, who was heading to Segambut, said.

"I was just going to drive by the lorry before my eyes caught onto an elderly Chinese man who was trapped behind the wheel. So instead of just driving by, I stopped and tried to help him," Mogan said.

He tried to get the uncle out of the lorry but failed to do so until a Malay guy on a bike stopped to help him pry open the broken lorry door. The SPRINT patrol team arrived 5 minutes into the tragedy and managed to control the traffic.

Image via Mogan Ram

In a few minutes, a few other people also stopped by to offer help.On why he decided to specify the race of the people involved, Mogan said: "The reason I am posting this and highlighting the races of the people involved is to say that Malaysia, at its root, is far from being intoxicated by racism."

The first thing Mogan and the others did as soon as they managed to pry open the door was getting the victim out of the lorry and ensuring that he was not injured

Image via Mogan Ram

They got the elderly man a place to sit and rest, and he was apparently dazed from the accident. It was only after about 10 minutes, he was able to speak coherently again. "He was diabetic. He took his morning medicine but had nothing to eat through out the day. The uncle was slightly bruised by the broken glasses, but other than that he was generally fine," Mogan, who works as a pharmacist, told SAYS.

The uncle took the time to personally thank everyone who gave him a hand in that unfortunate event, and most of the people who stopped by to help left, except for Mogan

Mogan stayed a little longer than the rest, wanting to make sure that the uncle was in good hands before he left. "I left when SPRINT patrol team started to tow his lorry and assured me they will bring him to wherever they are bringing the lorry too."

Mogan, encouraged by the incident, said that what he encountered is a great example that proves the fact that Malaysians can come together easily to help one another in times of need

Mogan (top left) with his friends.

"I was happy and proud to see how everyone got together swiftly to avert a possible tragedy or crisis and showing genuine care towards the old uncle," Mogan shared."This is also what I hope for Malaysia. Let's stand together, regardless of race and religion, and help each other out everyday, everytime. Let's not wait for a crisis or tragedy before we decide to be united. Let's avert any possible crisis beforehand."
