Some may see smartphones as just a communication device, but for others, a smartphone is a partner to share experiences with

Today, smartphones have become a part of our daily lives, and thanks to powerful features, we depend on them to record our memories.

Here are their thoughts on how OPPO has helped them share their stories:

1. With a passion for adventure and photography, Amir Amali, better known as Micu, believes that today’s smartphone is an essential tool

"You can easily communicate with your friends, co-workers, and family, and it brings you closer, no matter how far you are. In the past, you need to bring your laptop around, but now that everything is on your phone, it makes things much easier now. You have everything that you need, right inside your phone," he said.

An avid traveller, Micu loves to capture photos and videos of his journeys, and believes that a photo is worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to social media

He hopes that his content empowers his followers to embrace their inner beauty and be proud of who they are.He shared, "Most of my photos have a meaning or story of my life behind it. Some people are afraid to show their beauty and they're not confident with themselves. From my photos and videos, I want to encourage them to just be confident with yourself and be happy."This is similar to how OPPO's devices have powerful camera features that help to capture the beauty in everything around him.

For Micu, the Find X2 has been a great tool that helps him pursue his passion

As a photography enthusiast, Micu is especially impressed with the various camera features of OPPO smartphones. In fact, most of the photos on his Instagram were taken using OPPO phones."Last year, I travelled to Penang, which is an ideal travel location in my opinion, because there are so many attractions and places to visit in the area, also because they have a lot of good food options there."I used the Find X2 to capture all my photos and videos there. It allows me to easily share whatever I want to share with the world."

Throughout his travels, the technology and innovations of the various OPPO phones Micu has owned have helped him capture all the beautiful sights and memorable experiences

2. Hailing from Kuala Lumpur, advertising designer Tony Chen's story is one of perseverance and determination

As a teenager, he was eager to explore a career in arts, but the many challenges he faced required him to rethink his options.Having loved painting from a young age, Tony hoped to pursue a design course after secondary school. As his financial situation was not comfortable at the time, he had to work a part time job to support himself while studying.He found it difficult to balance academics and work, and was unfortunately forced to give up his studies to fully concentrate on his livelihood. However, he kept his morale high and remained optimistic, and soon found a job that met his passion, becoming a designer at an advertising agency.

Tony shared, "Even though I am unable to further my studies, this has never hampered me from lifelong learning—which has been my life philosophy"

"I share this sentiment with OPPO, as it has been on the pursuit of discovering remarkable technologies, with the goal of enhancing lives of consumers," he added.After years of honing his talent in graphics design, he Tony is now doing what he loves—expressing himself through his career in advertising and design.

Speaking about his experience using the OPPO Find X2, Tony emphasised that the phone has been an essential tool in his career

As a designer, he loves the black high-density ceramic design of the phone. It also helps him be more efficient at work as he's able to seamlessly transfer and share all his documents.Additionally, since he loves photography, Tony enjoys how the smartphone's ample storage space lets him take all the photos he wants. He always carries it around with him to snap fantastic photos whenever inspiration strikes.

With powerful features and intuitive functions, the OPPO Find X2 has served Tony well, and he looks forward to continuing his journey as a Find user

3. Though he works as an accountant, Michael Teoh picked up vlogging half a year ago to add more colour into his life

He also wanted to challenge himself to focus on something other than his full-time job."I wanted to pick up a new skill and also expand my social circle, hence I started vlogging and sharing content on my social media channels."My inspiration comes from every aspect around me, from the littlest things like a video I watched online, to great things like our mother nature, as well as people around me; all these inspire me when I am creating content," said Michael.

With the goal of inspiring his friends, family, and viewers to see the beauty in everyday things, Michael loves sharing his ideas and experiences on social media

"Even though I do not hope to gain anything from them, but I would love to hear that they have gained something from my content, just as how I learnt something from others."He also strongly believes that learning is an on-going process, which is one of the reasons he got into vlogging as well. He constantly teaches himself how to create better content by using the tools available to him, such as his OPPO FindX2.Having tested it out before purchasing it, the deciding factor for Michael was how awed he was by the phone's camera."The camera takes amazingly clear shots, and the AI feature really makes it easy to capture photos that are exposed properly," he shared.

Michael describes his life philosophy as being in line with what the OPPO Find series stands for, making it an ideal lifestyle partner for him

"As the brand language of the Find series suggests, we have to always push the boundaries, to constantly create new possibilities, which is a philosophy that I believe in. I always push myself for the best and never say 'no' or 'it’s impossible' to challenges even before I try it," he said.

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Grab.

While we're always down to try out new restaurants or order different meals for a change on GrabFood, there's no denying that we all have a favourite restaurant on the app, right?

Whether it's our go-to lunch meal or something that we tuck into every once in a while, all of us have a restaurant on GrabFood that we deem as an absolutely must-try.

According to Grab, millions of food lovers have been rating restaurants that they have tried. And some of these must-try restaurants even ended up achieving a 5-Star rating on GrabFood!

Image via Grab (Provided to SAYS)

Achieving a 5-Star rating is seriously no joke, as this means that everyone loves everything the restaurant has to offer, from their food to their service. Aside from serving up delicious and satisfying grub, these restaurants also have to prepare and pack the food securely and quickly so that it is delivered on time without any spillage or mess. As such, you can always rely on the ratings on GrabFood for the best local eats around.

Curious to know what are the top-rated GrabFood restaurants in Klang Valley? Here are some of them:

Restaurants are listed in no particular order.

1. Village Park Restaurant

A restaurant that needs no introduction, Village Park Restaurant is, without a doubt, a hot favourite among many Malaysians. Their ayam goreng berempah is a must-order for many, and for good reason — the chicken is juicy, crispy, huge, and has plenty of crunchy crumbs, all of which pair incredibly well with the rich coconut rice and savoury sambal. Aside from their star dish, Village Park Restaurant also serves up a plethora of savoury dishes to pair with your nasi lemak, from sambal kerang to ayam rendang, vegetables, and more!

2. Hayaki

From plenty of rice offerings like nasi kerabu and nasi kukus to Western dishes such as chicken chop, there's lots to love about Hayaki, which aims to serve the best original recipes from Kelantan along with a myriad of other Malaysian favourite meals. Ordering from Hayaki for the first time? Their signature Mango Rock dessert, a refreshing mango shaved ice topped with cuts of mangoes, is an absolute must-try.

Selain itu, pengumuman penyertaan Afdlin dan penyanyi Altimet dalam PKR akan diumumkan oleh Anwar yang juga Ketua Pembangkang dalam acara Temu Anwar pada 1 April ini di sebuah hotel di Ampang

Menurut Afdlin, keputusannya menyertai PKR selepas pernah berjuang di bawah parti UMNO semuanya atas kemahuan dirinya sendiri.“PKR adalah parti yang menjaga semua kaum walaupun ketuanya orang Melayu. Inilah wadah yang saya dambakan. Orang Melayu menjadi ketua tanpa mengabaikan hak serta kebajikan kaum-kaum lain.“Dan Datuk Seri Anwar adalah pemimpin yang sentiasa mengutamakan rakyat pelbagai kaum. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, pemimpin sebegini yang negara perlu ada,” ujarnya.

A suspicious diner in Guangdong, China, narrowly avoided death after questioning on social media if the octopus on his table at a hot pot restaurant was safe to eat

In a post on Weibo on 16 January, the man posted a photo of an odd-looking octopus covered in blue circular markings among other octopuses in a basket full of ice.He asked if anyone could identify if it was a blue-ringed octopus, which is known to be one of the world's most venomous animals."I saw this in a hot pot restaurant. Isn't this a blue-ringed octopus? Can I put it into my hot pot? I'll wait online, this is urgent," the man asked.

Thankfully, in less than an hour, a science education channel saw the photo and confirmed the Weibo user's suspicions

The verified channel wrote, "It is indeed a blue-ringed octopus. Their venom contains tetrodotoxin. The toxins are very strong and won't be neutralised even after cooking. Even if you take it back as a souvenir, never ever eat it."In a note of warning, the channel added that others have found blue-ringed octopuses accidentally mixed in with commercially-sold octopuses before, but such cases have been rarely reported.

After seeing the science channel's answer, many concerned Weibo users quickly flocked to the hot pot diner's post to see if he was safe

"Are you okay? You haven't eaten it, right? Quickly tell the restaurant that the octopus is poisonous and cannot be eaten," someone wrote.In a few minutes, the diner assured: "I didn't eat it. It's already been removed."

The post has since garnered over six million views on Weibo, with other netizens congratulating the man for being skeptical before eating the venomous creature

“This shows that knowledge can change fate," said a Weibo user.Another cried, "Good on you. If it were me, I would have already eaten it."

According to Ocean Conservancy, blue-ringed octopuses are extremely dangerous to humans even though they are merely the size of a golf ball.The octopus' venomous bite will first block nerve signals, and can cause death due to respiratory arrest and muscle paralysis within minutes.

The deadly octopus can also be found in the waters of Mabul, Sabah:

Sadness looms over the DAP operations centre here following the DAP already conceding defeat based on the unofficial result. In her speech, Dyana Sofya said that although she had lost, her fight continues. “This fight has to continue. I invite all of you to join me in pursuing this cause,” she said in front of some 200 supporters, while trying to hold back tears.

        therakyatpost.com

Dyana Sofya added that in convincing folks in Teluk Intan that she was serious about becoming their representative, she said she has decided to reside in the constituency and serve the rakyat despite her loss.

A BN campaign worker stops Malaysiakini's journalist from taking free booklets and flyers from the ruling coalition's counter set up outside the polling station. "You are from Malaysiakini, you spin (stories) all the time, so you can't take these," he says. When the journalist points out it is for free distribution, the man replies, "Yes it's free, but you can't have it." The flyers are about photographs of Dyana and DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, accusing them of being traitors, while the booklet's cover depicts Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, but its contents are unknown.

The BN and DAP supporters are still trading barbs at each other, while using nasty language. The DAP camp is relatively calm with only two or three people responding to the BN youths shouting and heckling under the hot sun. Police are watching over the standoff calmly.

EC chairman Abdul Aziz Yusoff brushes off the standoff (watch video) at Kampung Bahagia as "not serious" since things "did not get physical". "I attribute this to the small road leading up the school," he says during a press conference at the media operations room at a Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) building along Jalan Changkat Jong.

Constituents in Teluk Intan wake up to discover that one of the poster featuring DAP candidate Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud was vandalised. The word 'babi' (pig) was written on the poster, located beside Jalan Sultan Abdullah, near Hotel Intan, clearly as a means to disrespect the Malay-Muslim candidate.

On 27 May, vandals spray painted the word 'bodoh' (stupid) on BN candidate Mah Siew Keong's banner at Jalan Sungai Nibong. This is the second time Mah's campaign material has been vandalised with black paint. Bernama reports that Mah was notified of this via text messages from locals.

Najib Promises To Make Mah A Cabinet Minister If He Wins

Image via themalaymailonline.com

A Cabinet appointment awaits Gerakan President Datuk Mah Siew Keong if he wins the Teluk Intan parliamentary by-election on Saturday.

        nst.com.my

Gerakan president Datuk Mah Siew Keong will take full responsibility if he loses in the parliamentary by-election. Mah said being the party president, he was under a lot of pressure and he would take the "necessary" actions if he loses to DAP's Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud on Saturday.

        thestar.com.my

“Gerakan has been a founder member of BN and the Gerakan president has always been a minister," Najib.

        themalaymailonline.com

"I can make a commitment here, if Datuk Mah wins the Teluk Intan by-election, then by virtue of being Gerakan president, he will be appointed a member of the Cabinet," Najib told the Malaysian media covering his six-day visit to China here.

        nst.com.my

Following Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak announcement that BN's Teluk Intan candidate Mah Siew Keong will be made a minister if he wins, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng says the announcement is unnecessary. Lim says this is because Mah will be appointed into the cabinet regardless of the polls outcome, as Mah is the Gerakan president.

        malaysiakini.com

Former Gerakan president Koh Tsu Koon and MIC president G Palanivel lost in the general election, but they were both ultimately appointed as senators as a move to make them cabinet ministers, says Lim at the ceramah at Jalan Mahkota in Teluk Intan town. He says it did not matter if the duo entered from the front door or the back door, they were eventually made ministers anyway.

Image via themalaymailonline.com

To the good people of Teluk Intan, It has been an exhausting but exhilarating two weeks since I was nominated by my party to be the candidate for the Teluk Intan by-election.  I have experienced more in the last two weeks than any time in my 27 years of age.

        themalaymailonline.com

"Suddenly, I became the centre of attention of Umno ministers  who could not resist taking digs at my looks. My looks and appearance are not important at all in this very important by-election.  I did not sign up with DAP to take part in beauty pageants. I urge the voters of Teluk Intan to judge me for my ideals, my principles and my dreams for a better Malaysia."

        malaysiakini.com

"I want to win this election not because of my appearance, but because of my ability to make a difference in the Malaysian political landscape in the highest legislative institution of the country."

        malaysiakini.com

"My opponents have attacked me viciously behind nameless blogs aligned to Barisan Nasional (BN), as well as anonymous leaflets denigrating me with fake pictures and spurious allegations of my moral ethics. The most vicious of the attacks came from a former minister who accused me of being a "traitor" to the Malay race."

        malaysiakini.com

"It clearly does not matter to these people that the real traitors to the race are the BN leaders who abused their powers, enriched their friends and families and indulge in corruption at the expense of ordinary Malays and Malaysians. These dirty and vicious tactics from our opponents will not waver my will to fight for the rights of all Malaysians, especially for those who are marginalized and discriminated against. I will not be intimidated and I will not be a traitor to Malaysians."

        malaysiakini.com

"I want to prove to Malaysians that you don't have to be a Chinese to help a Chinese, a Malay to help a Malay, and an Indian to help and Indian. I want to lead by example to build a country where a Malay can help a Chinese, a Chinese can assist an Indian and an Indian can support a Malay. My ambition is to Malaysianise Malaysia again."

Returning officer Datuk Ibrahim Ahmad made an official announcement on the eligible candidates for the by-election after the process closes at 10 am.

The atmosphere at the nomination centre for the Teluk Intan parliamentary by-election is electric, with supporters from the contesting parties engaged in a fierce stand-off.Armed with flags and banners, the face-off between supporters of BN and DAP turned fiery as they hurled slogans at each other.

        nst.com.my

Not to be outdone, BN supporters, some 500-strong began chanting "Pakatan kalah" and "Hidup BN". Meanwhile, the rival camp cried out: "Tolak BN" and "Tumbang Gerakan". Some 500 police officers and Federal Reserve Unit personnel can be seen standing by to ensure security.

        nst.com.my

After a lengthy deliberation, DAP, in what has been termed as a bold move, decided to field 27-year-old lawyer and Lim Kit Siang's former political secretary, Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud for the by-election. Although Teluk Intan is a Chinese-majority seat, DAP is riding on Dyana's image as a young, rising Malay star in a party that is often accused of being too Chinese-centric.

        malaysiakini.com

If elected, she will become DAP's first Malay female MP, the second youngest DAP MP to be elected (after Fong Po Kuan for Batu Gajah in 1999) and only the third Malay parliamentarian for the party in the current sitting.

        malaysiakini.com

But she faces veteran politician Mah Siew Keong, the current Gerakan president, who previously held the seat between 1999 to 2008 and is a local boy who is well known in the constituency. But the 53-year-old (left) will count on his experience and the strength of the BN machinery for the 12-day campaign period before Teluk Intan goes to polls on May 31.

The political aide to DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang is being targeted by an Internet smear campaign using photos of a woman in a bikini that her attackers claim resemble her.

        themalaymailonline.com

But Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud today rubbished the allegation that she was the woman shown in the images, which have since been shown to be of a foreign actress.

        themalaymailonline.com

“I am disappointed that people will act so low to tarnish my image for political reasons after rumours of me contesting spread. But I accept that good people will always be victimised. I am in politics to serve the people,” she said. Dyana also received abusive calls and SMS after the pictures made rounds on the Internet.

        thestar.com.my

According to the newspaper, Internet users have pointed out that the woman shown wearing the two-piece swimsuit in the photographs is Filipino actress Pauleen Luna.

Dyana, however, said that she was not aware of the candidacy and did not know whether she would be running for the seat.

        thestar.com.my

Dyana, who joined DAP in 2011, currently serves as Lim’s political secretary and had previously helped him in his successful campaign for the Gelang Patah seat in the 13th general election. The smear campaign against her comes less than a week before the Teluk Intan nomination day on May 19. The Teluk Intan parliamentary seat went vacant after Dyana’s 48-year-old party colleague Seah Leong Peng passed away from cancer on May 1.

Here's What Led To Musa Aman's Acquittal Of 46 Corruption Charges

On Tuesday, 9 June, former chief minister of Sabah Musa Haji Aman was acquitted of 46 charges related to corruption and money laundering

The 69-year-old, who had previously served as the chief minister of Sabah from 2003 until 2018, was acquitted of 46 charges by High Court judge Muhammad Jamil earlier today. According to Astro Awani, Jamil announced, "The accused is hereby acquitted and discharged. The bail money will be refunded to the bailer and the dates set for trial earlier will be vacated." Initially, the trial was scheduled to start on 14 September this year. The order came after Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid told the court that the prosecution intended to withdraw all charges following instructions from the Attorney General's Chambers, as reported by South China Morning Post.

Musa was initially charged with 30 counts of corruption and 16 counts of money laundering

According to Malay Mail, the former chief minister was facing 30 counts of corruption involving RM213.50 million that he allegedly received from "eight logging concessionaires as inducement to give timber concessions to 16 companies".   Essentially, this means eight logging permit-holders paid Musa an incentive for him to grant timber licenses to the 16 companies. In the same report by Malay Mail, "The 16 money laundering charges [were] related to his alleged receiving of proceeds from illegal activities amounting to USD37,845,491.60 (approximately RM162 million)." These deals supposedly took place between 2004 and 2008.

The 46 charges carried a possible sentence of over three decades in prison

The money offered as inducement to give out timber concessions was first received in Hong Kong and Singapore, as reported by The Star. This landed Musa with 35 counts under Section 11(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 in November 2018. According to the Act, these charges carried a maximum imprisonment of 20 years and a fine not less than five times the amount of bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.

A report by Astro Awani noted that, "In reference to the 16 counts of money laundering, Musa allegedly instructed Richard Christopher Barnes, 67, to open an account of UBS AG Bank, Singapore, under the name of Richard Christopher Barnes, through which he intended to receive proceeds from illegal activities." Under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA), Musa's alleged 16 counts of money laundering carried a sentence of up to 15 years in prison, as well as a fine of no less than five times the amount of illegal proceeds or RM5 million, whichever is higher, upon conviction. After his initial charge in November 2018, Musa was brought to court in March 2019 over the 16 charges of money laundering that he was acquitted of today.

Francis Ng, Musa's other lawyer, blamed political motive as the reason behind the charges

In a report by the Malay Mail, the defence maintained that, "The funds former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman was accused of receiving corruptly were not linked to any projects in Sabah… but were instead political donations for UMNO and Barisan Nasional."Amer continued, "These funds were actually already explained during past investigations, where it was [deemed to be] political donations given by party supporters, donors, the public, and Barisan Nasional (BN)/UMNO headquarters for use in preparation for by-elections and general elections, activities, and expenditure of BN/UMNO Sabah." In a five-page statement, Amer said that "all relevant and related documents had been supplied to the MACC" who alongside Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) were said to have verified the documents.

A letter dated 22 December 2011 was issued by the ICAC saying that they had completed investigations on Musa and would be taking no further action against the former minister. This, cites Malay Mail, was verified by former attorney general (AG) Abdul Gani alongside chief members of the MACC.  As a result of this, The Edge noted that, "[Francis] said the revival of these charges against Musa was a mala fide prosecution and a political persecution." This basically suggests that the charges were of ill-intent particularly as they came two days before a court decision on a conflict over the Sabah chief minister post.

Musa uploaded a media statement expressing his gratitude for the court's decision

In a media statement uploaded this morning, Musa said, "I have been given justice to clear up the accusations brought against me." He also expressed his gratitude for those in the judiciary body who he believed acted "objectively, professionally, and without prejudice". In a report by New Straits Times, Musa's lawyer Francis mimicked the former minister's relief saying, "We are happy. We feel that it is a fair and correct decision - long overdue."

The reason behind the prosecution's withdrawal of the charges are yet to be known

"DPP Azhar only told the media that the prosecution was withdrawing from all charges made against Musa and declined to comment further," reported The Edge. Azhar added, "You wait for the statement from the AGC later."

Meanwhile, Sabah UMNO leaders are optimistic about their political positions

According to Malay Mail, Sabah UMNO chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin said that the party was strengthened now that the charges against their senior leader Musa Aman have been dropped.Bung Moktar continued, "Even though it is difficult to predict, I think we will see many surprises this month. Sabah UMNO is ready for anything."

However, Musa's acquittal has drawn criticism and concerns from several opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) and prominent Malaysian figures

Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad questioned whether all 46 charges could be acquitted without a single case. He further compared the 2018 charge of Fahmi Reza (over a clown sketch of Datuk Seri Najib Razak) to Musa's own, claiming that Musa's was quite "light".

Demi menjadi PM... semua boleh dirunding.Bukan di Malaysia tetapi di Negara Pasir Berdengung yang diperintah oleh kerajaan tebuk dinding kerana takde pintu belakang.Bebas 46 tuduhan. Semua 46 takde kes? Pelik bin Ajaib. Hari tu Reza, sekarang Musa Aman.. lelas ini?Boosku..? https://t.co/LYRCwA1Xsr— Khalid Samad (@KhalidSamad) June 9, 2020

Sim Tze Tzin, MP for Bayan Baru, expressed his surprise over the court's decision saying, "Just wow…!"

Just wow....! https://t.co/fJ3NU0JAgh— SimTzeTzin  (@simtzetzin) June 9, 2020

Najwan Halimi, who is currently chief of Selangor Parti Keadilan Rakyat's (PKR) Youth wing, sarcastically noted that Musa's acquittal was "The peak of Perikatan Nasional's (PN) 100 days in government".

Kemuncak pencapaian 100 hari Kerajaan Perikatan Nasional. https://t.co/xOF6CfLuMD— Najwan Halimi (@NajwanHalimi) June 9, 2020

Malaysiakini journalist Norman Goh tweeted a checklist that listed a series of cases where the defendant was let off, asking "What's next?"

Riza’s case  Musa Aman’s case  Jakel’s case  What’s next? https://t.co/wXUlGU1iqy— Norman Goh (@imnormgoh) June 9, 2020

Political graphic designer Fahmi Reza uploaded an image depicting Musa Aman as a clown next to the title "Free! Free!" He wrote that this was "Happy news for the people of Sabah" despite a smaller caption reading "46 charges of corruption and money laundering."

Mother Breaks Into Tears As Court Orders Release Of Children After 3 Years Of Separation

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

Single mother Loh Siew Hong will finally be reunited with her three children — two 14-year-old twin girls and a 10-year-old boy — after three years of fighting for their custody

According to New Straits Times, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled today, 21 February, for the immediate release of the children to the Penang-born mother from the care of Perlis state's Social Welfare Department (JKM).The ruling came as Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah allowed the habeas corpus application filed by Loh against respondent, Islamic non-governmental organisation (NGO) Hidayah Center Foundation operator Nazirah Nanthakumari Abdullah, for the alleged unlawful detention of her children.

Loh, her children, and Bagan Dalam assemblyman Satees Muniandy (left), lawyer Shamsher Singh Thind (back), and Seberang Perai councillor P David Marshel (right).

The 34-year-old mother had been unable to see her children for the last three years after her ex-husband allegedly abused her and took them away while she was in a hospital for the injuries

Fighting for sole custody of her children, Loh had divorced Nagashwaran Muniandy on 19 March 2019 and obtained interim custody of them in July of the same year.Malaysiakini reported that she later won full custody of them in December 2021.However, by then, the mother had no idea where her children were, and her estranged husband had been arrested and sentenced to two years in jail over a drug offence.She eventually learnt that they were sent to Hidayah Centre Foundation, an NGO for Muslim converts, who reportedly initially refused the mother from seeing her children.She also learnt that all three children, who were born Hindus, were unilaterally converted to Islam by their father without her knowledge.

At the Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning, judge Collin Lawrence noted there was an existing court order dated 31 March 2021 that already granted Loh sole custody of her three children

"There was also earlier an interim ex-parte order dated 20 December 2019, which granted sole custody, care, and control of her children to the applicant," he said during the proceedings, as quoted by The Star."The court orders still stand [and are] still valid. The court orders are not to be treated with impunity upon the face of contempt of court.""By the reason that the court orders still stand, therefore, I allow the application of writ of habeas corpus.""The three children are to be released forthwith into the sole custody, care, and control of the applicant."

Loh, who was seated in the public gallery, broke into tears as she heard the decision

Her children were present in an adjacent witness room in court as the decision was delivered.Meanwhile, lawyer Aidil Khalid, who represented the respondent, said that there was never an issue of illegal custody by his client as Loh had previously consented for her children to be handed over to JKM.He also said attempts were made to allow Loh to see the children at the centre but they did not meet due to problems out of his client's control.Malaysiakini reported that Loh, a Hindu Chinese, also intends to challenge and nullify the Islamic conversion of her three children in a separate court action.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has captured our attention for most of this year, the Ministry of Health (MOH) is warning Malaysians not to forget an endemic that is expected to worsen in the coming months — dengue

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba announced that Malaysia recorded 50,511 cases and 88 fatalities caused by dengue in the first half of the year, from 1 January to 13 June."The cumulative dengue fever cases for the period this year is less than in 2019," said Dr Adham in a statement in conjunction with the 10th ASEAN Dengue Day yesterday, 15 June."However, since eight weeks ago, there has been a rising trend of an average 8% increase every week," he said.New Straits Times reported there were 56,819 cases and also 88 deaths caused by the dengue virus during the same period last year.

Based on the trend from previous years, the MOH is expecting a second wave of dengue cases in early June until September 2020

According to Malay Mail, Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah also warned of the dengue uptrend in one of his COVID-19 briefings last week.He said the risk of dengue will increase when the country opens more business sectors under the Recovery Movement Control Order, as plenty of the premises have not been in use for months.Dr Noor Hisham urged the public and business owners to clean up places favoured by the Aedes mosquito - the carrier of the dengue virus - as its breeding ground."In this regard, the public are urged to improve the level of cleanliness in their respective areas, especially places where water stagnates such as pools and toilets that are all potential places for the Aedes mosquito to breed," he said.

Dr Noor Hisham added that the MOH recommends the public to clean their households, both indoor and outdoor, on a weekly basis

The ministry also recommended spraying insecticide in places that have been unused since the start of the MCO and using mosquito repellant on ourselves."The fight against the Aedes mosquito and dengue fever is our responsibility, just as the community has worked together to stem the spread of the COVID-19 infection," Dr Noor Hisham said."If you have dengue fever symptoms, seek treatment at the nearest health facility immediately. The enforcement of the RMCO should not be a hindrance to early treatment."According to the MOH, symptoms of dengue fever include a suddenly high fever, rash, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, and muscle and joint pain.

Meanwhile, Dr Adham said the ministry will also help in combating dengue by sending out Communication for Behavioral Impact (COMBI) programme volunteers across Malaysia

"[They] will be assisting the ministry in carrying out educational activities on dengue prevention through the new norm approach," announced the minister.As of 12 June, there were 2,954 COMBI teams involving 25,231 volunteers nationwide.He added that the theme for ASEAN Dengue Day this year was '10 Minutes to Destroy Aedes' to spur the cooperation of all parties to curb dengue fever together.The message is that all it takes is community commitment of at least 10 minutes per week to clean their environment and destroy Aedes mosquito breeding grounds to tackle dengue.

Jelas beliau lagi, kelonggaran hanya akan diberi kepada mereka yang mempunyai sebab tertentu.Pihaknya difahamkan, ada antaranya melawat keluarga yang sakit di hospital dan akan pulang dua hari lagi, iaitu Khamis (hari ini) misalnya."Maka saya sudah bincang dengan PDRM, kes tertentu seperti ini dibenarkan (rentas negeri)."Jadi jangan bimbang kalau mereka terperangkap di kampung seperti dulu, masa PKP dulu sehingga kita terpaksa buat program khas untuk benarkan yang terperangkap balik, cuma, yang mana ada di kampung dan belum pulang saya harap pulang segera paling lewat pun Jumaat ini," ujarnya.
