M'sian Who Makes RM1,500 Is Pressured By Parents To Buy A Honda So They Can Be Proud

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

A Malaysian has taken to a popular confession forum on Twitter to share their plight after their parents pressured them to buy a Honda vehicle as a status symbol for a working adult

Writing a direct message to @ConfessTweetMY, a Twitter page dedicated to curating confessions from the public, the anonymous person said they are faced with a problem at a crossroads in life."With a salary of RM1,500 (a month), my parents always insist that I buy a Honda," they said."It's a dream car, they said. But I know I can't (afford it)."

They continued that their mother is a housewife, while their father is unemployed after he got sick

"Every month, we siblings will give money to our parents because they have no income," the person shared."I'm so sad because (my parents) always talk about other people's children who are successful. One day, I (asked them) why can't we live a simple life and make do with what we have?"The person wished that more parents out there would pray for their children to get better jobs instead of saying, "When do you want to buy a Honda" or "When will you find another job so you'll be able to afford a Honda".

At the time of writing, the tweet has gone viral with almost one million views and 1,600 likes

"This is the father and mother's wish, but they could not get it. So they hope their children can achieve it. Sad," lamented a Twitter user."Sometimes mothers and fathers expect children to give them a luxurious lifestyle because they brought them up even though they were not able to give a luxurious lifestyle for their children," said a netizen, adding, "Then, they expect a child who just started working to give them everything.""My parents were like this in the past. They told me to buy a Honda Jazz. Alhamdulillah, (I've owned one for) three years now. But it was a struggle. I couldn't shop for myself and couldn't give (my parents) money," shared another Twitter user.

In October last year, a person who made RM1,500 a month spent more than half of their salary on a Perodua Alza went to the Internet to ask for financial advice:

Maszlee Urges Schools To Spice Up BM Lessons By Showing P. Ramlee Movies To Pupils

Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik urges Chinese schools to show Malay movies and cartoons to their pupils yesterday, 2 October at the Raising Bahasa Melayu Standards for Chinese vernacular schools (SJKC) Forum 2018

Image via Hari Anggara/Malay Mail

According to The Star, Dr Maszlee explained that showing P. Ramlee movies and the popular cartoon series Upin & Ipin could make learning Bahasa Malaysia more interesting to Chinese pupils.He proposed that the idea could be implemented as part of BM programmes in Chinese schools nationwide.

Dr Maszlee added that most of the younger generation has not seen a single P. Ramlee movie

According to the Malay Mail, Malay films like those of P. Ramlee's could be used as reference for students to master Bahasa Malaysia as they appeal to all races and ethnicities.

Speaking at a national forum focused on improving BM in vernacular schools, Dr Maszlee also said that academic competency "should not be measured based on examinations"

"A student can score well in examinations just by memorising, but language is the soul of the nation," he said during his speech at the forum, adding that the focus should be on the enjoyment of using the language.

Dr Maszlee has personally promised to improve the proficiency of the national language among minorities

Image via The Star

Poor BM proficiency among minorities has always been a known issue and some have even claimed that having a poor command of the national language is a "sign of disloyalty" towards the country, as reported by Malay Mail. Therefore, the Pakatan Harapan government has since made BM an important aspect of its education policies.

In order to distract the victim while trying to remove his foot from the hole, firemen played him cartoons on a mobile phone.According to New Straits Times, Pasir Gudang fire and rescue station (BBP) operation commander Iszahwati Supardi said their effort paid off when the three-year-old became engrossed in the cartoon while the work to remove his stuck foot was being done."He was stuck for over two hours before we were called to rescue him," Iszahwati added.

Iszahwati said they received the emergency call at 8.15pm, after which eight firemen and an Emergency Services Assistance Unit (EMRS) rushed to the scene

"It is believed that the children were enjoying a bath at the time of the incident when the victim's foot fell into an exposed hole in their bathroom," said Iszahwati.News Straits Times reported that in order to free the victim, the firemen had to break the cement floor surrounding the hole and cut the drain pipe.

"It took us approximately an hour to free the victim, and we had to play him cartoons to keep him calm throughout that time," Iszahwati added

Luckily the victim was treated and did not sustain any major injuries. The rescue operation ended around 9.43pm.

Foreigners Shouldn't Be Allowed To Use Johor's Free Bus Service, Says Johor Youth Group

A Johor-based youth group has slammed the suggestion to make the free bus service in Johor available to foreigners

Image via Johor Public Transportation Cooperation (PAJ)

In a report by Malaysiakini yesterday, 28 May, the group was responding to a statement by DAP's Yong Peng assemblyperson Chew Peck Choo who submitted a proposal at the state legislative assembly saying that foreigners should be allowed to use the free service too. Gerakan Pemikir Muda's spokesperson, Fikri Allaudin completely opposed the suggestion. "The proposal does not make sense and is an insensitive one because, she is indirectly questioning the rights and privileges of Malaysians, especially the people of Johor."The question is: Will there be other calls for privileges and facilities to be removed if the Yong Peng lawmaker's proposal was implemented? Is the Yong Peng lawmaker trying to bring the concept of equality to Johor?" asked Fikri, as reported by Malaysiakini.

Fikri also lambasted Chew for mentioning the Bas Selangorku programme, which is not exclusive to locals, as a comparison.

"In Selangor, the Bas Selangorku can be used by foreigners. Do we want to squeeze and cram, which can cause safety issues, if we open Bas Muafakat Johor to foreigners?"

After chiding her for this, Fikri asked her to switch her attention and efforts to her constituents instead of foreigners.

The Johor state government launched the free bus service last year to help reduce the living cost of locals and increase the quality of public transportation in the state

Bas Muafakat Johor

To use the service, users will need to apply for a membership card with a yearly fee of: 1. RM10 for adults 2. RM5 for senior citizens (above the age of 60), Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU), and school-going children (between the age of seven to 17)3. The service is free of charge for children aged six and below. The buses will go through 15 routes and will pass by places including Johor Bahru, Pasir Gudang, Kulai, Mersing, Muar, Simpang Renggam, Batu Pahat, Kluang, Pontian, Segamat and Kota Tinggi, Tangkak, and Yong Peng.The bus will come equipped with a CCTV system, GPS, and free WIFI.

Here's How You Can Quickly Level Up In Pokémon GO Without Cheating Or Spending Any Money

Now that Pokémon GO mania is in full swing in Malaysia, trainers across the nation are going above and beyond to catch 'em all

Image via SAYS

People are extending their lunch hours, going on longer smoke breaks and skipping work just for a chance to catch a Snorlex. Ok, maybe not skipping work lah, but you get the drill.

However, capturing Pokémon is only one aspect of the game. A successful trainer must increase his or her Level by earning a steady flow of XP!

Image via VG247

Did you know the higher your Level, the better your chances of finding a rare Pokémon?

Before we move on to the tips, let's take a look at how leveling works in Pokémon GO!

Yup, that's me and I hate durian. Deal with it. :)
Image via SAYS

Basically, you would need to acquire an adequate number of XP (experience points) to level your Trainer. For example, I would need 10,000XP to jump from Level 12 to Level 13. There are a number of ways for you to get XP. Visiting PokéStops, catching Pokémon, finding new species of Pokémon, evolving Pokémon, training at the gym, conquering enemy gyms — all of these things will give you a varying amount of XP.

Image via Reddit / Vocalinsanity

This full breakdown from a Reddit user shows that evolving and catching a new Pokémon gives you more XP compared to other activities.

So, there are many different ways to gain XP in the game. Some in-game actions and achievements award you with minimal XP, while others will grant you a high amount of XP. Here are the five best ways to gain experience points and Level up quickly:

1. Catch ALL Pokémons! Yes, that includes Rattatas and Pidgeys.

Image via SAYS

Don't ignore all the Ratattas and Pidgeys, guys! While catching a Pokémon will only give you 100XP, but those numbers will stack up! Sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit (A penny saved is a penny earned) holds very true in this game. Plus, you'll have more Pokémons at your disposal if you want to evolve them or exchange for candy. You'll also gain extra XP for throwing PokéBalls skillfully eg. nice throw, great throw, excellent throw or a curve throw! So, don't forget to take some time to practice your throws!

2. Don't be lazy to hatch those eggs!

Image via Alphr

Hatch those cute little eggs you find at PokéStops by walking the required distance and your egg will hatch into a Pokémon. You'll gain XP regardless of the species of the Pokémon, but if the hatched Pokémon is a new species, you'll get extra XP!

3. Evolve your Pokémons

Image via iMore

Evolving Pokémon is just as important as capturing new ones. To power up and evolve your Pokémon, you will need Candy and Stardust - but the hustle will be all worth it as you'll get a great deal of XP, 500 to be exact! Evolved Pokémons are also much stronger and they will strengthen your team.

4. Visit as many PokéStops as you can

Image via Game Rant

As you travel you will find a variety of PokéStops to visit. These locations will give you Pokéballs, Revives, Eggs among other goodies. Most importantly, visiting PokéStop will give you some XP.

5. Lastly, put your Lucky Eggs into good use

Image via Pokémon GO India

As you start to reach Level 9 or higher in Pokémon GO, you'll start to see a Lucky Egg or two in your Items list. What a Lucky Egg does is it doubles up all of your XP you get for 30 minutes, so you want to spend that time wisely. A strategy that's pretty useful when it comes to capitalising your Lucky Egg is to collect as many Pidgeys, Caterpies, Rattatas and Weedles as you can. Next, make sure you have a Lucky Egg, head to a PokéStop and drop a Lure Module.A 30-minute countdown will begin and it's time for you to hustle. Start by evolving all your common Pokémons. Every Rattata into a Raticate, every Pidgey into a Pidgeotto, and so on, but that's not all! Capture as many Pokémons as you can too, because every capture and evolution will double in XP.

And there you have it! Some useful tips and tricks for you to level up as a Pokémon trainer. Now, go out and strive to be the very best!

Jangan Lakukan Solat Tarawih Secara 'Online'. Dr Zulkifli Al-Bakri Jelaskan Sebabnya...

Setiap kali tibanya bulan Ramadan, antara perkara yang paling dinanti-nantikan oleh umat Islam di seluruh dunia adalah solat sunat tarawih

Image via beritagar.id

Dalam melaksanakan ibadah ini, pasti ramai dalam kalangan kita yang lebih gemar untuk menunaikan solat sunat tarawih secara berjemaah di masjid atau surua berbanding hanya di rumah. Namun, susulan daripada pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang sedang dikuatkuasa ketika ini, umat Islam di negara ini dilarang untuk menunaikan solat sunat tarawih di masjid mahupun surau dan disaran untuk melakukan solat tarawih secara berjemaah di rumah.

Justeru, mungkin ada dalam kalangan kita yang mungkin tertanya-tanya sama ada bolehkah kita melakukan solat sunat tarawih secara dalam talian

Image via Twitter @DrZulkiflialbakri

Ini jawapan yang diberikan oleh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Agama), Senator Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri.Memetik laporan, beliau berpandangan bahawa solat tarawih yang dilakukan secara dalam talian tidak dibolehkan.Ini kerana katanya, syarat berimam bagi seseorang makmum adalah individu itu mesti dapat melihat fizikal imam berada di satu tempat dan mengetahui pergerakan imam."Sebagai contoh, jika kita solat secara dalam talian dan ikut imam di Masjid Negara, tiba-tiba sambungan internet terputus, maka macam mana makmum nak ikut."Jadi untuk tahun ini, adalah lebih baik sembahyang di rumah dengan suami atau ketua keluarga. Mungkin tahun ini akan ada ramai imam baru walaupun tak bertauliah," katanya.

Harap penjelasan ini sedikit sebanyak menjawab persoalan kita semua.

Sin Chew Daily reported the Genting CEO as saying that the decision to lower his own salary is a way of taking responsibility for the company's poor performance in the past year.He added that the move is also in lieu of a 10% increase in gaming tax, from the previous 25% to 35%.Following the decrease, Lim's annual income is estimated to be RM10.04 million lesser than the original RM50.18 million written in Genting Malaysia's 2018 annual report.

Genting's share prices have taken a hit in the past year

According to Sin Chew Daily, the company's share prices dropped 48% last year, from RM5.35 to RM2.76, following announcements of a higher gaming tax and a legal battle with Walt Disney over the construction of a 20th Century Fox theme park. As of 3pm today, the company's share prices stood at RM3.33.

Two months ago, Genting Malaysia purchased Jho Low's luxury yacht Equanimity for RM514.6 million:

Anwar Is Also A 'Winner' In Number Of Electoral Offences Committed During PD By-Election

PKR president-elect Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim committed a total of six election offences during the Port Dickson by-election, reported the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih 2.0)

The electoral watchdog released its report on the by-election earlier today, 26 October.Bersih 2.0 reported that a total of 10 election offences were committed. The remaining four offences were committed by Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) candidate Mohd Nazari Mokhtar.

Bersih 2.0 said offences committed by the newly-elected Port Dickson MP "raises question on the abuse of government machinery and created an unfair level playing field among the candidates"

The six offences Anwar was said to have committed include:- making a surprise appearance at an awards ceremony for army veterans while no other candidates were invited,- attending a zakat aid distribution event together with the Chief Minister of Negeri Sembilan,- launching a free online tuition portal with links to the Perak state government,- campaigning at a free concert, and- campaigning at two dinner events.Of the last three offences, Bersih said, "It was unclear who paid for these events and if both events were organised with his or his agent's authorisation as part of election campaign in accordance with Section 15A of the Election Offences Act, where the event expenses have to be reported in the candidate's account."

Bersih also applauded the Election Commission (EC) for implementing improvements that resulted in a smooth by-election

According to Bersih, the EC made the following improvements:- proactively reminding independent candidate Kan Chee Yuen that distributing free pens is an election offence,- reminding ministers to only campaign outside of working hours, and- instructing election enforcement officers to take action against party supporters who campaign outside the polling centre.

"Bersih 2.0 applauds the EC for taking such proactive preventive measures and such measures should continue and be strengthened in future with clearer guidelines and briefing to all the candidates and their election campaign team before election campaign period starts," the report read.

Lastly, Bersih 2.0 called for all political parties to extend their full cooperation with the EC, stressing that it is crucial for Malaysia to become a "truly democratic country"

"We call on all ministers and government agencies to refrain from inviting any election candidate to government public events or functions during election campaigning period in future election," added the committee.

			The principle of separation between political party events and government events and administrative neutrality must be observed at all times.
        Bersih 2.0

According to The Malaysian Insight, the report will be presented to the EC for further action.

The EC Chairman previously called out politicians for abusing their power by campaigning during work hours:

                EC Chairman: "Politicians Who Campaign During Work Hours Are Abusing Power"

He also called for a stop to unfair and unethical campaigning activities.

Watch As Hooligans From Red Shirts Physically Assault A Bersih Supporter In Front Of A Cop

Yesterday, Red Shirts took their hooliganism beyond the level of human decency when members from the racially-charged group physically assaulted two Bersih supporters in Sabak Bernam

Image via Malaysiakini

Two motorcyclists wearing Bersih t-shirts were pelted with eggs by Red Shirts when they crossed the street into the Red Shirts area

According to an eyewitness, both the men approached the Red Shirts after they were pelted with eggs from across the street. However, while one man retreated, another man, whose bike had crashed, stood his ground and was pelted with more eggs.However, police say the two motorcyclists had wanted to go home and they decided to go through the road controlled by the Red Shirts, Malaysiakini reported.

One of those two men, who was pulled off his motorcycle, was kicked, twice, by Red Shirts while a police officer tried to intervene

The impact of the kick from Red Shirts member was such that it sent the men wearing Bersih t-shirt sprawling to the ground. And as a police officer tried to help the Bersih biker he was kicked again, this time by another Red Shirts member from the back.

Image via NST

According to a report by Malaysiakini, the Bersih biker was later escorted away from the scene, following which Jamal Yunos, the leader of the Red Shirts, asked his followers to lift the man's battered bike. He then personally handed it back to the cops.

You can watch the whole thing as it was captured in a video, here:

The Red Shirts leader justified the physical assault on the Bersih biker saying "if it wasn't for Bersih this wouldn't have happened"

Feigning helplessness over the egg pelting by his Red Shirts members, Jamal told reporters that it was something that was "out of his hands"."It's a good thing they threw eggs. What if they threw stones?" he said.While defending the attack on the biker, Jamal instead put the blame on him, saying, "They knew this is the Red Shirts area yet they come to provoke us. If they want to show they are great by crashing our area, that is their fault. Whatever happens, we are not responsible, because if it wasn’t for Bersih this wouldn’t have happened."

Jamal, who is also Sungai Besar UMNO chief, also vowed to be more aggressive next time, saying "I'll vault my car on top of theirs"

It was reported that the Sabak Bernam police are trying to track down the Red Shirts members who assaulted the motorcyclists. However, they have not classified the case and will only do so "once an arrest is made", Sabak Bernam OCPD Supt Nor Azmi Isa said.

He, however, said there was "no need" to probe the egg pelting as "no one was hurt."


Sunway Turns Advertising Budget Into Funds To Feed 2,100 B40 Families In Malaysia

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

As part of their continuous efforts to help Malaysians who have been hit hard by the current situation, Sunway Group is choosing to use their advertising funds to help those in need instead

In conjunction with Hari Kebangsaan and Malaysia Day, Sunway will be using their advertising funds to assist economically affected B40 communities.Through the #SunwayforGood Food Bank initiative, more than 25,000kg of food will be distributed to almost 2,100 B40 families across Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Perak, Penang, and Johor. The distribution will be carried out from now until Malaysia Day.

In Selangor and Perak, Sunway will work with the Development of Human Resources for Rural Areas (DHRRA) to identify around 1,000 B40 families in need, and  will then deliver groceries and basic necessities directly to them

Sunway will also be working with DHRRA as well as Adab Youth Garage to purchase and deliver provisions to more than 200 B40 families living around Kuala Lumpur.Meanwhile, Sunway teams in Penang and Johor are working with Kechara Soup Kitchen and Malaysian Red Crescent respectively, in order to provide food aid to hundreds of families below the poverty line.The essential provisions that will be delivered to those in need include rice, salt, condensed milk, sugar, oil, canned food such as sardine and tuna, and packs of coffee provided by Super Coffee.

Since last year, more than 100,000kg of food have been distributed to people in need across the country under this initiative

Part of the flagship #SunwayforGood umbrella, the #SunwayforGood Food Bank is the largest of its kind in Malaysia. Aligned with the Group's commitment to advance the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, it pledges to promote sustainability and social responsibility efforts through three core areas — education, healthcare, and community enrichment.

Image via Provided to SAYS

Since its inception, #SunwayforGood has touched the lives of over half a million people, and aims to positively impact more than one million Malaysians by 2030

Sunway Group Deputy Executive Chairman Tan Sri Datuk Seri Razman M. Hashim said, "The prolonged Movement Control Order to stem the spread of COVID-19 this year has worsened the economic impact for B40 communities in our country. Unemployment is rising and the situation is expected to worsen before it gets better.""Together with our people at Sunway and our NGO partners, it is our hope that this gesture of committing our advertising budget to help build resilience among those made vulnerable under these trying circumstances will reaffirm the spirit of unity and patriotism on this Hari Kebangsaan that cuts across racial and religious lines," he added.

To date, Sunway has committed almost RM60 million to support the battle against COVID-19

This includes providing the government with four vaccination centres (PPVs), spanning close to 200,000 sq ft, for free up to 12 months.

Sunway's effort to help people in need during these trying times is truly appreciated

Be it individuals or companies, it's now more important than ever for us to do our part to help those who have been affected by the current situation. Together, we can make a difference for a better Malaysia.

A High Tech Japanese Bra That Only Opens If She's "Truly In Love"

To commemorate its 10th anniversary Japanese lingerie manufacturer Ravijour has released a bra which has the potential to change hook ups and possibly put an end to the ‘walk of shame’

Japanese lingerie company Ravijour doesn't want its customers to settle for anything less than true love. That's why it developed the True Love Tester, a bra with a mission to keep its contents contained until the wearer is really head over heels.

        cnet.com

Image via wordpress.com

The “true love tester” bra is the world’s first scientifically engineered undergarment for women that actually reads your body’s signals.

        rocketnews24.com

The ‘True Love tester’ as it is called is no ordinary bra, it is more like a chastity belt of the 21st century

Ravijour calls it "a revolutionary bra that knows how women truly feel." A promotional video implies the brassiere could help save women from one-night stands with less-than-savory men.

        newlaunches.com

      Unsupported video platform

It seems the bra cannot be unhooked without “true love” and will literally pop off of the wearer upon finding that special someone.

        rocketnews24.com

Here’s how the technology works:

The bra has built-in sensors that measures the wearer’s heart-rate. The data collected by the sensors is sent to a special app on your phone.

        cnet.com

Image via wordpress.com

The app then analyzes the heart-rate of the wearer

Image via wordpress.com

If the wearer’s heart-rate reaches a predetermined limit, the bra unhooks by itself

Image via gawkerassets.com

The Ravijour team behind the bra says it could become a valuable companion for women the world over, but there is no word on pricing or availability yet

Ravijour, a company who’s slogan is “We do anything for women,” advertises their exploding bra as “an instrument to test for true love” and is part of their “Mood Up” campaign to celebrate the company’s 10 year anniversary.

PDRM To Investigate Najib Razak For Flouting MCO SOPs While Dining At A Popular KL Outlet

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

The Dang Wang police department is investigating a video that showed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak flouting the Movement Control Order (MCO) standard operating procedures (SOPs)

Najib was caught on the video not scanning the MySejahtera QR code on his mobile and failing to take his body temperature before entering a chicken rice restaurant in Bukit Bintang on Friday, 19 March.According to Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Mohamad Zainal Abdullah, during the investigation, all those involved in this case will be called to the Dang Wangi district police headquarters to testify."The investigation paper will be handed over to the Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) once the investigation has been completed," he said in a statement released today, 20 March.Mohamad Zainal also urged the public to comply with the SOPs."Stern action in accordance with the law will be taken against violators," he added.

The video showed that Najib did not scan the MySejahtera QR code using his mobile or record his details and check his body temperature before entering Restoran Nasi Ayam Hainan Chee Meng yesterday

In the video, that was shot on a mobile and circulated across social media platforms, the former prime minister is seen arriving at the restaurant accompanied by a police escort.Following which, he is ushered into the outlet without performing any of the required SOPs.He is, however, seen wearing a face mask.

×

Najib has since owned up to not following the SOPs

Amidst widespread public outrage, he took to his Facebook page to admit that he breached COVID-19 SOPs during his visit to the restaurant and urged the authorities to issue him with a fine.According to him, he was taken into the shop immediately as arrangements were made."I admit my mistake this time in not checking in myself although my officers did," the former prime minister wrote in his post, adding that his action was an "unintentional" mistake."Usually I'd comply with all SOPs that have been implemented in all my activities and movements. I urge the authorities to issue a summons for my mistake, which was unintentional."

He said that he will pay the fine voluntarily and would do so within seven days to get the 50% "early-bird discount" rate of RM750

"I will pay the compound within seven days in order to get the early bird discount of 50%, meaning a fine of RM750. I will pay the summons for my mistake voluntarily," Najib wrote in the post.

			For me, there is no such thing as double standards.

The Pekan Member of Parliament, however, hinted at other ministers practising "double standard"."Other people, other parties and ministers, I don't know. Them practising double standards, it's their problem. I don't want any double standards in my case," he added.

Her daughter, Meilani Parks, however, apparently doesn't mind it at all, as the comparisons started ever since she was little."I was pretty young when I had [my daughter], so it's not entirely impossible that we could be sisters," Diaz told Jam Press, according to Fox News.

Video Shows Hero Cop Saving A Woman After Her Attempted Suicide At Penang Bridge

A two-and-a-half minute long video taken by a fisherman shows a man barely keeping his head above water after saving a woman who had jumped off the Second Penang Bridge yesterday, 18 April

Image via Malay Mail

The video features auxiliary policeman Zaidi Salleh as he attempted to save the woman who was struggling in the waters.Malay Mail Online reported that Zaidi rushed to KM9.9 of the structure where the woman had jumped from earlier, after he received an alert from a colleague. He then saw that she was still clinging to a pillar in the water.

Since the tide was low and the waters were calm, Zaidi made a judgment call that he could rescue the girl before it was too late. He immediately sprung into action.

The 52-year-old told Malay Mail Online that, "I used a car-towing cable from a maintenance vehicle and used it to slowly scale down the pillar to reach her."

However, the tide then came in. The father of three held on to the woman for about 20 minutes until rescuers could finally save them.

Image via Malay Mail

"The undercurrent was very strong and it swept us to the middle of the sea so I held on to her to keep her from being swept away," said Zaidi.

Just when Zaidi felt too weak to stay afloat, a plastic fish container appeared.
"I let her hold on to the container and I reminded her that this was a sign from Allah that she must hang on to it to save herself because if she was to let go, I was too exhausted to save her at that point".

"I was getting weaker by the minute that I was on the verge of going under when they (the rescuers) came," he explained. Once brought to shore, they received immediate attention from a fire and rescue paramedic team.

Police believe that the attempted suicide was due to family problems

Image via Fire and Rescue Department, New Straits Times

The 28-year-old woman jumped off the bridge after parking her car on an island-bound stretch of the bridge.A Penang Fire Department official confirmed that she is now in stable condition, reported Free Malaysia Today.

Though Zaidi said that this was not the first case of someone jumping off the bridge, this was the first time he had jumped in to save someone

Image via Free Malaysia Today

"I did not expect anything. I am a trained diver and I did it for humanitarian reasons," Zaidi, who has been working as auxiliary policeman for four years since retiring from the military, was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.Meanwhile, the bridge's public relations and communications manager Azizi Azizan has commended Zaidi for his courageous actions."His (Zaidi's) actions are nothing short of heroic and the bridge operators are grateful that we have a staffer who is willing to risk his live to save others," Azizi told theSundaily.

Can Johor Really Secede From Malaysia, As Claimed By TMJ?

In an interview with 'Fourth Official', a sports publication, Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has claimed the southern state has a right to withdraw from Malaysia if it finds a breach to the terms agreed upon its membership of the Federation of Malaya.

Image via SAYS

Wait, what did the Crown Prince say exactly?

Acknowledging that while his views may be seen as instigating state-based sentiments, his main concern, as the future Sultan of Johor, was the people of Johor and his responsibilities will always go to the state first before the country. "Malaysia is important to me, but Johor and JDT will always come first," he was quoted as saying."People deserve to know, that the mess we have in the country right now, should in no way be associated to the Johor royal family. Over the years, we've always been strong and independent as well as resourceful.""In fact, we only joined the Federation of Malaya, upon both parties agreeing to several basic terms. And if any one of those terms are breached, we have every right to secede from this country," said the Crown Prince to 'Fourth Official'.

And what are those terms of agreement he is referring to?

Johor agreed to join the Federation of Malaya on 3 conditions.1. Making Islam the religion of the state2. Johor's absolute right over water and land issues, and3. The state Royal house to have its own armed forces.

However, this is not the first time that claims of Johor's secession from Malaysia has been made. A similar call was made in June this year by Tunku Ismail's younger brother, where he cautioned on Instagram that the southern state may secede from the country.

Screenshot shows Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim's Instagram post.

According to The Malay Mail Online, Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim had issued a reminder that the state had joined the Malay federation in 1946 on several conditions and if "any of these conditions are violated, then Johor will secede from Malaysia".

More recently, the call for Johor's secession from Malaysia has been picking up steam on the Internet. According to The Rakyat Post, social media posts depicting images of fake Johor currencies, followed by comments of people supporting possibility of a TMJ-led state government have been doing the rounds.

Image via FO

Coming to the point, so can Johor really secede from Malaysia?

Well, first of all, even merely speaking about secession is actually considered seditious.

What, really?

Yes!You see, over the years, secession is something people of Sabah and Sarawak have often talked about, and been arrested for. Recently, four people from Sabah were charged with sedition for allegedly urging Sabah and Sarawak to leave Malaysia.While the Federal Government withdrew an example of its definition of seditious tendencies regarding secession in its latest revision to its proposed changes to the Sedition Act 1948, the removal of that example, however, does not mean that encouraging others to seek for a state's secession is no longer considered seditious because such a demand is already seditious in the existing Sedition Act 1948.

What was the line in the original draft for the New Improved Sedition act that was used as a specific example of a Seditious Act?

This:"A excites a person or a group of persons to demand for the secession of State B from Malaysia. Such act is seditious." – Amendments list, p.2, Section 3(a). {via Cilisos}.

On the other hand, according to Constitutional expert Dr. Abdul Aziz Bari, those who speak about secession from Malaysia should be investigated under the Sedition Act 1948, regardless of who they're

In an interview with Malaysiakini regarding Tunku Ismail's younger brother's post on Instagram, Dr. Abdul Aziz Bari had said the Attorney General and police should make a stand if the prince, Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim, had violated any law, in particular, the Sedition Act for his Instagram post."Only 9 Sultans enjoy legal impunity. The Johor prince does not have this privilege."

In addition to that, according to a lawyer named Kamal Hisham Jaafar, there is nothing in the Agreement made in 1885 and 1948 to state that Johor could break away from the Federation of Malaya

Image via The Mole

In short, there's no provision in the Federation Agreement allowing Johor to break away. Kamal claimed that the 1885 Agreement has long been overtaken by the 1948 Agreement and cannot be read together with the later accord."What's pertinent here is that the Sultan of Johor betrayed the people by becoming the first Sultan to surrender all powers to the British under the Malayan Union of 1946. The Johor Sultanate had nothing left after that. The Court even ruled that Sir Sultan Ibrahim was not a sovereign ruler and Johor was not a sovereign state," he said, adding that it was fortunate that there were some Malay leaders who fought the British to save Johor.

Furthermore, the Johor state's agreement with the Federation of Tanah Melayu, which touches on its right to secede from Malaysia, has actually became null and void after 31 August 1957 (Merdeka)

Universiti Malaysia Perlis’s Raja Malaysia Institutional Research Centre director Prof Datuk Dr Ramlah Adam said all agreements inked during the British colonial period are considered void automatically after Aug 31, 1957."These issues are over. The powers of the Malay royalty are now included in the Federal Constitution. However, the Federal government must respect the Johor state laws and should not intervene. The royalty still holds power," she said when contacted.

        astroawani.com

So can Johor secede or not?

There is still a little ambiguity on the whole "Johor can secede from Malaysia" thing, and while the experts claim that Johor cannot leave Malaysia, it is not entirely impossible.How?Well, similar to the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, the Sultanate of Johor may simply ask the people of Johor what they really want in a Johorean Independence Referendum. However, there is no formal word on it from the Johor government.

The Johor royal family.

Animal Lovers Traumatised After 11 Dogs Found Poisoned At Cherating Beach

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

The community in Kampung Cherating Lama, Pahang are fearful for their furry friends following a series of tragic dog poisonings at Pantai Cherating

According to New Straits Times, 11 dogs were found dead between December 2022 and 22 March 2023.The dogs allegedly died from ingesting chicken meat that was laced with poison and placed near restaurants along the beach.

Tunku Lydia Ilma Tunku Abdul Ilal, an animal activist in Kampung Cherating Lama, said the dogs were all strays that have been spayed and given licences by the Kuantan City Council

Lydia, who shares updates on the animals on the @cheratinggoodboys Instagram page, said the dogs were nurtured by the Cherating community, but their lives were tragically cut short.She mentioned that people frequently abandon their pets near the chalets and restaurants."We focus on catching, neutering, and releasing the strays, besides vaccinating some of them," Lydia explained.The 38-year-old said the perpetrator could be someone who is aware of the dogs' presence and well-versed with the surroundings.Lydia added that they also found the remains of six cats and four chickens, but are unsure of how those animals died.

Cheeza, one the many dogs who got poisoned at Cherating Beach.

She also shared a few gut-wrenching stories of the dogs that had to meet such tragic deaths

"One of the most heart-wrenching incidents occurred in December last year, when a female dog that had just given birth to eight puppies one week before was killed by poisoned meat," she said.In another incident, a man took his dog out for a walk when it ate something near the beach and began experiencing seizures and frothing at the mouth, before passing away.

Image via @cheratinggoodboys (Instagram)

In a brief conversation with SAYS, Lydia shared three measures that the authorities could practise to reduce such inhumane actions

"First is education, especially on a religious level, that poisoning and torturing isn't the way to go about in solving the problem of strays. And just general empathy for the other creatures that share our earth," she explained.Lydia also hoped for harsher punishments against people who are guilty of animal cruelty and tighter restrictions on the buying and selling of poisons meant to kill pests."The poison we believe is responsible for these killings can be bought easily on Shopee. Unlike rat poison, we can still save the animals if we bring them to the vet on time. However, this poison that they use kills the dog within 15 minutes in a very painful and cruel way," she added.Lydia and another dog owner have reported the incidents to the police and the veterinary department.

Video Shows A Man Beating A Security Guard Repeatedly With A Baton In Wangsa Maju

Recently, an eight-minute-long video was uploaded on social media platforms that showed a man repeatedly beating a security guard with a baton at a parking lot of a condominium in Wangsa Maju

The video was originally uploaded on Facebook by a page named Sq soul7 on Thursday, 30 July, where it has over a million views and more than 25,000 shares with thousands and thousands of comments."This incident happened in Malaysia. An officer has badly beaten a guard. Is this humanity? Can anyone be beaten like this?" read the caption on the post by the page that appears to share Nepali news.Following which, a day later or 31 July, Andrew Jonathan Hall, a migrant worker and labour rights activist, took to his Facebook and Twitter accounts to separately upload a short version of the disturbing video.Andrew, who goes by Andy on his social media accounts, said that the video, which was shot of 7 July, "has gone viral in Nepal, showing a (assume Nepali) security guard being abused by a Malaysian".

According to the migrant worker rights specialist, the abuse of security guards was a "systemic and widespread" problem but it doesn't get the attention it needs because it's not rubber gloves, garments, or palm oil, the three local industries that frequently gets coverage for its alleged abuse of migrant labours."But the security guard industry in Malaysia is terrible," Andy wrote."I found when in Malaysia, Nepali security guards are pervasive holding temperature checks or guarding 5-star hotels, office buildings, embassies, malls, apartments," he said, adding that they work seven days a week for long hours with little pay, are often in debt bondage and live in squalid accommodation.

In the video, the man is seen physically assaulting the security guard. He uses the baton to repeatedly hit the unresisting security guard's back, arm, and legs. He is also seen punching the guard in the face.

The man, who is heard speaking Bahasa Melayu, was identified as the guard's supervisor.Throughout the video, the guard did not retaliate while the supervisor continues his beating.As he beats the guard, the supervisor is heard hollering: "What's your problem? Are you flaking off? You are here to work, why are you creating trouble. I am good to you, and yet you … (indistinct) Who do you think you are? Are you here to work or make trouble?"Meanwhile, the person recording the video is heard speaking in Hindi, telling him that "it's enough".

The video's virality prompted the Embassy of Nepal to lodge a police report on Friday. Following which, Wangsa Maju police chief Superintendent Rajab Ahad Ismail said that checks showed that the incident happened at a car park of a condominium in Jalan Madrasah.

"It is believed that the incident involved the suspect, a Pakistani national, and a Nepalese working as a security guard at the building," Rajab was reported as saying by New Straits Times yesterday."An investigation paper under Section 324 of the Penal Code has been opened. The cause of the incident is still being probed. We are seeking all parties involved to come forward immediately to assist in the investigation," he said, adding that the victim has yet to lodge a police report.Rajab, who described the incident as "simply inhumane and unacceptable", has urged those with information regarding the incident to contact investigating officer Inspector Shahrul Azzuan Sharom at 016-2014334 or senior investigating officer Deputy Superintendent Stephen Ganeson at 016-3767390 or the Kuala Lumpur Police Hotline (03-21159999) or the nearest police station.

Meanwhile, Nepal's English weekly newspaper Nepali Times interviewed a local who has worked in Malaysia and he claims that the supervisor is a Malaysian Indian named 'Mannu' who also abused him

"He has beaten many people, and I had filed a complaint at the Nepal Embassy back then," the Nepali national identified as Santosh Sapkota told Nepali Times."I returned five months earlier than planned after spending nearly four years in Malaysia because I could no longer take the abuse," Sapkota said, adding that the supervisor abused people without any reason.Separately, Andy, the migrant worker rights specialist, said that he has been contacted by at least two residents of the condominium where the incident took place.One insists the perpetrator is Pakistani national and another believed him to be Malaysian of Indian ethnicity," he wrote on his social media accounts following the police statement, in which the Wangsa Maju police chief Superintendent said that they believe the suspect is a Pakistani national.

Previously, Al Jazeera said that its staff in Malaysia are facing online abuse, death threats, and doxxing for its recent documentary:
