Menerusi video tersebut, kelihatan seorang gadis sedang berada di dalam kereta sambil meluahkan perasaannya tentang apa yang terjadi.Dia menceritakan yang dia terserempak dengan rakan ofis semasa sedang membeli barang di luar. Namun, dia berasa malu kerana dia hanya memakai pakaian t-shirt biasa dan memakai tudung sarung saja ketika itu.Malah, dia siap mengelak dari memandang rakannya itu dan melakukan seolah-olah dia tidak mengenalinya. Apa yang lebih melucukan adalah semasa hendak membuat bayaran dia sekali lagi terserempak dengan rakannya yang berada di kaunter sebelah.

"My Friend Is Being Bullied By His College Mates Because He Can't Speak Chinese"

Social media was abuzz in the past few days after a Facebook post about bullying in a local college went viral, shedding light on the isolation felt by a 'banana' in a Chinese-majority educational institution

Image via Facebook

"My friend who is studying in [a college in KL] has also revealed to me that he has been bullied by his college mates. The reason is 'cause, he can't speak Chinese. He's English educated so he's a banana. 99% of [the college's] students are hardcore Chinese-speaking. My friend also tells me that he's often alone and has no friends for group assignments and he struggles so much 'cause he can't speak Chinese and blend in with people there. He has no friends. Just imagine what about the other non-Chinese students, how they have been discriminated in the college. I notice a lot of Malaysian Chinese are getting more obsessed with Chinese and will often speak Chinese/Mandarin even though there are non-Chinese speaking people at the same table. It's just pathetic and rude," the post read. The screenshots were taken from the comments section of a SAYS story published on Friday, 5 May regarding a college student who committed suicide in Penang last week. Initial investigations indicate that the boy was under tremendous stress due to his studies, although it was also speculated that he was a victim of cyberbullying.

While some disagreed with the generalisation that the Chinese-speaking community tend to bully or alienate 'bananas' who don't speak Mandarin and/or Chinese dialects...

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

... Many agreed that it is a situation widely faced by 'bananas', even in adulthood, as they are considered "a disgrace to the Chinese community"

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Amongst the conversation surrounding the issue, one particular post written by a self-professed 'banana' became widely shared by those who relate to the experience of being an "outcast" in their own ethnic groups

Image via Facebook

"I don't think bananas speak out about this a lot but as a banana myself, I have found myself in situations where I've been looked down upon because I'm deemed not to be Chinese enough. I'm not saying this is done by everyone who speaks Mandarin but only those select few that happen to be a--holes as well. I have really good friends who speak Mandarin all the time and I have no problems with that because they treat me with respect and I understand it's hard to switch from language to language.However, I think there may be a lack of understanding from those who speak Mandarin about people like me. We don't choose to be illiterate in Mandarin. I didn't remember coming out of my mother's womb to tick which language I want to speak. I was raised in a household where English was the language I spoke in. I did not go to a Chinese National School and the choice at that age on whether or not to be sent to a Mandarin class was decided by my parents and not me, both of whom decided at that time to prioritise classes in other areas of study instead," he wrote.

"I think the most common misconception about bananas is that 'we don't speak Mandarin because we think we are better than those who do'."

"They might think we are arrogant in refusing to learn Mandarin or refusing to speak it when in truth for the most of us, we just grew up in a background where there really wasn't an option to do so. Even if some of us go on to learn it in later years, I think we can agree that we do face some difficulty in blending in during the time in our lives when we don't.I have been trying to pick up Mandarin lately and while I have gotten better, I am nowhere near to being capable of holding a long conversation with it. People laughing at you when you attempt to speak doesn't help either," he added.

In wrapping up his musings, the Facebook user who wrote the above post called for the Chinese-speaking community to stop alienating those who don't speak their language. 'Banana' or not, we are Malaysians after all.

"When it comes to the people that share the same colour as mine, I am alienated because of my inability to 'prove' my Chinese ethnicity. Don't even mention those that think I'm not supposed to be in Malaysia.People like me are the product of colonialism and segregation, speaking the language of those that colonised Malaysia while left neither tied to the country of my ancestor nor truly belonging in this one," he wrote. "So don't look at me in disgust when I am unable to speak your language. Just accept that I can't and accept me as a Malaysian instead because I don't have any other alternative.Stop the bullying and be more empathetic."

While not all 'bananas' are bullied and feel isolated from their peers due to their inability to speak Mandarin, they sure get a lot of flak and are made fun of for not "being Chinese enough":

#PRU15: DJ Fuzz, Waris Dedikasikan Lagu Terbaru 'Ini Negara Kita' Buat Keluarga Malaysia

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Meraikan kehangatan musim Pilihan Raya Ke-15 (PRU15), komposer DJ Fuzz dan penyanyi rap terkenal, Waris bersatu menghasilkan lagu berjudul Ini Negara Kita, Keluarga Malaysia

Meneliti bait-bait lirik lagu berkenaan, DJ Fuzz yang juga anak kepada penyampai berita RTM, Farith Ismeth Amir berkata lagu itu lebih kepada ilham menyemarakkan rasa patriotik dalam kalangan pemimpin dan rakyat khususnya kepada Keluarga Malaysia.Ia sekali gus menepis lagu berkenaan dicipta untuk tampuk pimpinan yang ketika ini masih diketuai Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (DSIS).“Lagu saya bikin dengan Waris bukan idea sesiapa atau pun mengambil cetusan untuk melobi, membodek atau mengampu pucuk pimpinan negara.“Kalau ada yang kata lagu ini idea DSIS atau sesiapa sekalipun, mereka mungkin boleh ‘claim’.“Tetapi apa yang lebih utama hayatilah intipati dan isi kandungan lagu ini. Lagu ini dicipta bukan untuk mana-mana parti politik. Lagu ini saya bikin untuk aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia," ujarnya.Tonton video penuh lagu Ini Negara Kita, Keluarga Kita di bawah:

Kali pertama DJ Fuzz dan Waris berkolaborasi menghasilkan lagu patriotik

Penyanyi lagu ‘jingle’ atau nada pesona itu berkata lagu berkenaan juga menjadi kerjasamanya yang lebih 100 kali dengan Waris.Bagaimanapun kata DJ Fuzz, ini kali pertama dia dan Waris berkolaborasi menghasilkan lagu patriotik.“Sebenarnya saya sudah hilang perkiraaan berapa kali sudah bekerjasama dengan Waris. Rasa-rasanya lebih 100  kali.“Kami mula bekerjasama sejak tahun 2012. Harus saya akui Waris sangat kreatif dan berbakat besar. Saya senang bekerjasama dengannya,” katanya.

Membeli kereta sebenarnya tak semudah yang disangka. Ini kerana terdapat beberapa faktor yang perlu dipertimbangkan juga. Malah, jika anda tersilap beli kereta melebihi kemampuan, kos yang perlu ditanggung akan menjadi satu beban.Perlu juga anda ketahui bahawa selain ansuran pinjaman kereta bulanan, anda juga perlu mempertimbangkan perbelanjaan lain seperti insurans kereta, cukai jalan, servis dan penyelenggaran serta lain-lain lagi.

Sebab itulah jangan terlalu terburu-buru dalam membeli kereta. Jangan pilih yang mahal, besar dan selesa namun akhirnya anda harus menanggung komitmen tinggi setiap bulan.

Ramai juga yang tertanya-tanya dan masih keliru tentang formula untuk beli kereta mampu milik dan sesuai dengan gaji bulanan.Sebagai permulaan, anda boleh baca perkongsian di bawah yang ditulis oleh Harith Faisal dan dikongsi kembali oleh page Job Malaysia. Memang sangat berguna, lebih-lebih lagi jika anda baru pertama kali membeli kereta.

Ikuti tiga formula untuk beli kereta mampu milik seperti di bawah:

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via welcomia

Kereta mahal dah jadi impian sejak tahun satu pengajian di universiti. Dengan harapan, lepas dapat saja kerja pertama dengan gaji RM2500, nak beli kereta yang paling mahal yang layak untuk gaji tu. Kalau lepas Honda Civic, nak angkat juga. Iyalah, lambang kebanggaan dan pengukur kejayaan anda. Haha. Lawak. Itu adalah pemikiran budak-budak baru nak up.Ketahuilah, jika anda mampu beli kereta, belum tentu anda mampu beli rumah. Tapi kalau anda mampu beli rumah, pasti anda mampu beli kereta. Ada faham? Kalau ramai yang tak faham, nanti saya terangkan.Jadi, saya ingin kongsikan formula untuk beli kereta mampu milik versi #harithfaisal.

1. Harga kereta tidak melebihi gaji tahunan anda

Jadi jika anda bergaji RM2700, harga kereta anda mestilah tidak lebih daripada RM32,400. RM2700 x 12 = RM32,400.Proton Saga FLX pun boleh dapat dah dengan harga RM33k++. Tapi tak glemer lah kalau fresh Banker atau Engineer pakai Proton Saga kan? Paling tidak, nak angkat Toyota Vios, Nissan Almera.. Kan kan?

2. Ansuran bulanan mesti tidak melebihi 15% (lagi rendah, lagi bagus) daripada gaji anda

Saya sendiri pakai kereta ansurannya tak sampai 8% daripada gaji isi rumah. Jadi, jika anda bergaji RM2700, ansuran bulanan kereta ideal anda adalah RM405.RM2700 x 15% = RM405.Jika hanya 15% digunakan untuk beli kereta, baki lagi 85% daripada gaji bolehlah buat simpanan kahwin, simpanan deposit rumah dan lain-lain. Okay dapat?

3. Beli kereta mengikut keperluan masing-masing

Habis tu, kalau gaji RM8,000 sebulan memang kena beli kereta berharga RM96,000 ke? Tak.Beli kereta ikut keperluanlah. Kalau tak perlu kereta mahal, tak perlu kereta besar buat apa beli. Selepas 9 tahun, jadi besi buruk juga. Bila anak-anak dah ramai, kalau perlu bolehlah dipertimbangkan untuk upgrade kereta yang lebih besar untuk keselesaan keluarga.Dan suami isteri kalau tak perlu 2 kereta, pakai saja 1 kereta kongsi. Pergi dan balik dari ofis bersama. Dalam kereta, bolehlah sembang-sembang, gurau-gurau untuk menyuburkan cinta, supaya sentiasa mekar dalam kamar bahagia. Haha.

Zaman sekarang ini memang anak-anak muda yang gaji tidaklah besar mana tapi pakai kereta mahal.
Lebih-lebih lagi fresh grad.

Kita lihat pula perangai fresh graduate biasa sekarang ni. Bergaji RM2700, tetapi memiliki kereta dengan ansuran bulanan RM800. Mari kita kira. (RM800/RM2700) x 100% = 30%. 30% daripada gaji diperuntukkan untuk ansuran bulanan adalah sangat tidak bagus. Kereta mahal, road tax mahal, maintenance mahal. Silap-silap kereta tu mungkin makan sampai 60% daripada gaji mereka setiap bulan. Tinggal 40% sahaja daripada gaji untuk survive sebulan. Simpanan kahwin pun belum tentu ada. Apatah lagi saving untuk deposit beli rumah. Last choice, nak kahwin, pakai Pembiayaan Peribadi RM30,000.Beli kereta mahal nak impress bakal bapak mertua? Memang bapak mertua kagum dengan 'pancapaian' anda. Tapi anda yang merana sorang-sorang. Hujung bulan makan Megi dalam kereta mahal sambil menitiskan air mata. Hihi. Fikirkanlah banyak kali sebelum anda terjebak dengan kereta-kereta mahal ya.

Kesimpulannya...

Paling bagus, beli kereta terpakai yang murah-murah dengan tunai. Atau takyah beli langsung, tunggu dah kahwin barulah beli. Atau beli 2 bijik rumah dulu, kemudian sewakan. Duit aliran tunai positif daripada rumah sewa, buat bayar ansuran kereta kita pula."KERETA KITA PAKAI, PENYEWA RUMAH TOLONG BAYARKAN."

Long before cafes and bakeries became a thing, Délifrance was probably one of the OG bakeries in Malaysia. It was where you'd go for tea or coffee, fluffy pastries, and even the occasional meals with family... Ah, sweet memories.The French bakery chain opened its first outlet in Malaysia back in 1990 and eventually launched nearly 20 other outlets in the country. However, by 2016, it appeared that all of its branches had seemingly vanished, according to Malay Mail.

Thankfully, it has now made a comeback.
You'll find pastries, such as butter and almond croissants, coffee, and other tasty dishes at the new outlet.

[VIDEO] McDonald's Encourages All Of Us To Remember The True Meaning Of Prosperity

This Spotlight is sponsored by McDonald's.

Every year, Malaysians look forward to the release of the Prosperity Burger from McDonald's, it just doesn't feel like CNY without it!

Image via @david_dsym (Instagram)

This year, McDonald's has decided to take things one step further. Instead of just promoting Prosperity as a product, they've also released a CNY video about the true meaning of Prosperity.

When we think of Prosperity, many of us immediately associate it with wealth or material goods. But McDonald's wants to remind us all that there's so much more to Prosperity - it's not about what you have, it's about who you have!Watch it now:

×

Titled 'You Are My Prosperity', the video touchingly highlights how it's so easy for us to get caught up in the superficial things that we think CNY is about like our fabulous new clothes, eating grand meals, and collecting as much ang pow as we can.We often forget that CNY is only complete when you spend it with your loved ones, and being able to spend time with them is the true reason why we go through all the effort to travel home every year.

Despite the rough journey we all go through to get home...

Image via McDonaldsMalaysia (YouTube)

...it's all worth it in the end when we see the smiles on our loved ones' faces :')

Image via McDonaldsMalaysia (YouTube)

At the end of the day, the best way to show them we care is through time spent together, not through material goods

Image via McDonaldsMalaysia (YouTube)

So this year, instead of just wishing for an abundance of wealth and money, remember to focus on the true meaning of Prosperity - an abundance of love, joy, and happiness <3

Stop stressing out about having to bring home hampers and ang pow or about having to spend loads on fancy clothes and grand meals. Just enjoy being with your loved ones, because love and happiness truly trumps all material wealth, which is why McDonald's message aptly states that #YouAreMyProsperity.

McDonald's wishes you a Happy Chinese New Year and hopes you have a wonderful time celebrating with your families!

15 Teachers Have Been Accused Of Molesting Students Since 2010, But None Were Charged

In the last 6 years, a total of 15 reports of teachers molesting students were made at district and state education offices, including the Education Ministry. However, according to DAP's Teo Nie Ching, none of them have been charged or sentenced so far.

On 31 October, the Education Ministry, in response to DAP's Teo Nie Ching, told the Dewan Rakyat about the number of reports against school teachers.Teo had asked for the number of complaints received about teachers accused of molesting students and what action had been taken against them.According to reports, the Education Ministry said the teachers involved in these molest cases had been transferred to other districts and had been put under the supervision and monitoring of the State Education Department (JPN), adding that the "students involved have been given counselling by school counsellors."

Among them is one primary school teacher, accused of molesting nine students in a school in Hulu Selangor earlier this year, who was transferred to another school, something to which Teo Nie Ching, who is the Kulai Member of Parliament, is strongly against

DAP's Teo Nie Ching.

Teo says that teachers accused of molesting students should not just be transferred to other schools and risk exposing children at these other schools to these teachers. They should instead be placed in a district or state education office.It was better for these teachers to be placed in an administrative position, pending the outcome of any investigation, the DAP lawmaker argued."As a precautionary measure, isn't it better to put the teacher in a district or state education (post) pending investigation? Why expose other kids to unnecessary and avoidable risk?" The Star Online quoted her as saying on Tuesday.

According to Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, the teacher was moved out from the Tamil school where he allegedly molested nine students and is currently being "monitored". Teo, however, says she in unable to understand the rationale behind this.

The fact that despite the serious allegations against him, the Education Ministry somehow saw it fit to simply transfer the accused teacher to another school instead of placing him on administrative leave.Speaking about the accused teacher, Teo said that she would be worried if she were a parent at the school the teacher is transferred to."I don't understand the rationale behind this decision. If I am a parent of a student studying in the school where the teacher is transferred to, I will feel insulted and worried for my child. Children are by nature vulnerable to those more powerful than they are. Shouldn't we just disallow the teacher who was allegedly caught molesting nine students to have any contact with other children?" she said.

In another case, a school headmaster in Sabah who was found uploading videos with pornographic content in a Whatsapp group was simply transferred to another school with a written warning

According to Deputy Education Minister Datuk P. Kamalanathan, the headmaster, who clarified that the WhatsApp group was created for other purposes and not related to pedagogy (teaching) and education, admitted his mistake and left the WhatsApp group."However, in the event, it happens again, severe action will be taken," he said, adding that, "Every complaint which has a strong basis will have appropriate action taken in accordance with the existing procedures in the Ministry of Education."

The problem with the Education Ministry's decision to simply transfer the headmaster to another school, Teo argues, is that if he is not fit to be in the original school, why should he be in another?

The DAP lawmaker, while speaking to FMT, suggested that the headmaster should, in fact, be banned from schools for up to two years, at least."If the parents find out that the present headmaster was transferred from another school after downloading porn, they will be angry," FMT quoted her as saying.

In response, Education Director-General Tan Sri Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof said that teachers who are accused of molesting students can be transferred to another school unless they are found guilty

"We must ensure that natural justice prevails. It has to be ensured that there is no element of malicious intent and we must be firm of the prima facie of any allegations," The Malay Mail Online reported the Education D-G as saying."Until the investigations are completed, we cannot create a situation where someone is seen to be guilty before being proven to be guilty. The ministry is also working with the police to solve the case according to the law," he added.

While agreeing with the Education Director-General saying that "Yes, everyone is innocent until proven guilty," Teo cautioned saying that "We do not want another Richard Huckle in Malaysia"

Amidst all this, however, National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) President Kamarozaman Abd Razak blamed students for some of the sexual harassment cases involving teachers

Kamarozaman told FMT that in some instances, teachers, especially the men, were sexually harassed by the female students in Forms 4 and 5.

The question is then that why are the teachers who have been accused of molesting students simply transferred and not put on administrative leave? Doesn't this send a wrong signal to the teachers, who might continue with their perversion at new schools?

In a related incident, Terengganu state police had detained a 50-year-old teacher of a primary school in Jerteh in August this year. He was accused of molesting 3 of his students:

The students are aged between 9 and 10.

Here's Why This Teacher Is Using A Blackboard To Teach Kids About Computers

Back in mid-February, a Ghanaian teacher had shared photos of himself teaching Microsoft Word using a blackboard to his students

Image via Owura Kwadwo Hottish

Image via Owura Kwadwo Hottish

In his Facebook post, the teacher, Owura Kwadwo, had written:

"I love my students so have to do what will make them understand what [I] am teaching."

Teaching of ICT in Ghana's  school is very funny. ICT on the board paa. I love ma students so have to do wat will make...Posted by Owura Kwadwo Hottish on Thursday, 15 February 2018

The teacher's story for his ingenious approach to teach his kids how computers work — without computers, made international headlines

News organisations from BBC and NPR to CNN and Quartz Africa, all covered the teacher and his ingenious idea of using a blackboard to draw Microsoft Word.

Image via NPR

While it is mandatory for the students to pass an information and communications technology (ICT) exam as part of their progression to high school, the school had not had any computers since 2011

So he does what he needs to do to ensure that his students understand the material in the curriculum: he drew computer features and software on his blackboard."I wanted them to know or see how the window will appear if they were to be behind a computer," the teacher was quoted as saying CNN. "Always wanted them to have interest in the subject so I always do my possible best for them."According to NPR, it takes him about 30 minutes to draw a version of the computer screen onto the blackboard before every class."Every subject is taught on the blackboard here," NPR quoted him as saying.

Now that him and his method have become an online sensation, Microsoft has promised to send him new computer equipment

The intervention from Microsoft comes after entrepreneur Rebecca Enonchong tweeted to Microsoft Africa, highlighting how he was teaching the use of their product without actually having access to it.

Supporting teachers to enable digital transformation in education is at the core of what we do. We will equip Owura Kwadwo with a device from one of our partners, and access to our MCE program & free professional development resources on https://t.co/dJ6loRUOdg— Microsoft Africa (@MicrosoftAfrica) February 27, 2018

In an interview with NPR, when asked if he could give his students anything, what would it be?, the teacher had replied, saying, "Computers! So they can have a feel for it."

And now that Microsoft has promised to provide them with a computer, the students no longer need to learn about computing without computers. :)


Influencer Faces Backlash After Scolding Nurse For Performing Swab Test "Aggressively"

A Malaysian influencer recently found himself in hot water after scolding a medical practitioner for performing a COVID-19 swab test in an "aggressive" manner

The online personality has 234,000 followers on Instagram. On Tuesday, 15 December, he uploaded several Instagram stories of him undergoing a COVID-19 screening in Tawau. The series of videos and images showed a nurse performing a swab test on him, followed by photos of him crying in pain, and several videos of him scolding the nurse and accusing her of purposely carrying out the test in an aggressive manner. All the footage has since been removed from his Instagram profile and his Twitter account has been taken down as well.

Image via Instagram

He wrote, "I will not forgive her until the end of time. I asked her to do it slowly and she did it even harder. See you in court, b*tch."

He confronted the nurse by showing her the clip of her carrying out the test. He tells her, "Just now, you put it in my nose and twisted the swab until I sneezed."The woman then replied by saying that sneezing after a swab test is normal. Another medical officer present also insisted that sneezing is normal.

After that, he wrote, "Thank you for all your support and comforting words! But I just want you guys to know that my intention was not to embarrass her."

"I am aware of the fact that she is working all day in PPE (personal protective equipment) [...] All I wanted was for her to realise and do her job properly not just to get it done with. Especially after I told her specifically to do it slowly.""This is also for some of you that (sic) have experienced medical negligence and never been able to say anything about it. Voice out your pain or discomfort don't just let it be, if she can't accept this kind of constructive criticism. She'll never get better," he added.

Image via Instagram

The videos went viral on social media and sparked netizens' anger

A repost of his videos on Twitter garnered over 2.2 million views.

??? ok karen malaysia it aint that deep the nurse just did what she needed to do sit down lol pic.twitter.com/ZmScaYlbr4— 88 (@haqeemhyzan) December 15, 2020

One person wrote, "You're a patient, she's a nurse. It's your first time taking the swab and it's her thousandth time taking swabs from people. Besides, it's such a fast process. You wanna be healthy, you gotta go through pain. Such a small matter and you wanna sue her? That's nonsense."

Image via Twitter

Another user noted, "I can't believe our frontliners are already tired, yet they continue to work to help the country and yet they have to deal with a bunch of imbeciles like this."

Image via Twitter

"I had my swab test and seriously, it's the same procedure. Stop being a whiny brat and appreciate our frontliners risking their lives every day for us. Like you don't know sh*t what they have to go through during this pandemic. The stress and exhaustion to keep this country safe," wrote one netizen.

Image via Twitter

He has since met up with the nurses and apologised

He uploaded photos of him with the nurses along with a caption that read, "We met up and talked things out together with no other parties involved. I sincerely apologise, to these two nurses that I have disrespected. I should be more understanding of how people are when they are working and under stress."

In the following tweet, he wrote, "I truly apologise to both of them and every other frontline that (sic) has sacrificed their time, energy and safety for the safety of others. I am sorry for being so rude and disrespectful and I now realise that and I will try to better myself."

8 Perkara Setiap Muslim Perlu Tahu Sebelum 'Travel' Ke Korea Selatan

1. Korea Selatan merupakan sebuah negara yang Muslim-friendly

Image via Instagram @aisya_zulaikha

Semakin hari semakin ramai pelancong Muslim datang ke Korea Selatan. Salah satu sebabnya adalah kerana Korea Selatan dikenali sebagai negara yang Muslim-friendly. Masyarakat di sana memang mengalu-alukan kedatangan pelancong Islam ke negara mereka.Selain itu, tiada sebarang isu mengenai Islamophobia pernah timbul di Korea Selatan. Pelancong dilayan dengan begitu mesra, tidak kira dari mana sekali pun. Kemudahan orang Islam juga banyak seperti restoran makanan Halal, Muslim-friendly resorts, masjid, dan macam-macam lagi.

2. Terdapat banyak restoran yang menghidangkan makanan Muslim-friendly di Korea Selatan

Image via Instagram @aisya_zulaikha

Tiada masalah untuk mendapatkan makanan yang Muslim-friendly seperti seafood dan vegetarian di Korea Selatan kerana rakyat Korea Selatan sangat menggemari hidangan yang berasaskan makanan laut dan sayur-sayuran yang segar. Jika anda mahukan hidangan berasakan daging Halal di Seoul, apa kata anda kunjungi kawasan Itaewon di Seoul di mana terdapat banyak restoran Halal di kawasan itu. Sebagai sebuah ibu negara, Seoul merupakan tempat paling kerap dilawati oleh pelancong dari luar negara, termasuk pelancong Muslim. Jadi, tidak hairan jika terdapat banyak restoran makanan Halal di situ.Bukan sahaja Seoul, kawasan lain seperti Gyeonggi dan Gangwon juga kini semakin mendapat perhatian pelancong. Industri Halal di Korea Selatan juga semakin lama semakin pesat membangun, dan semakin diberi penekanan.

3. Pembangunan industri Halal di Korea Selatan semakin digiatkan lagi oleh kerajaan

Image via www.halalexpokorea.co.kr

Kementerian Pertanian, Makanan dan Hal Ehwal Luar Bandar (MAFRA) memutuskan untuk bekerjasama dengan UAE bagi menguatkan keupayaan industri Halal di Korea Selatan untuk memenangi pensijilan Halal melalui pertukaran bersama antara Korea Muslim Federation (KMF), satu-satunya organisasi pensijilan Halal di Korea, dan Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (EASM).Baru-baru ini, satu pasaraya Halal telah pun dibuka kepada orang ramai, yang pertama di Korea. Terletak di Mapo-gu, Seoul, pasaraya ini menjual pelbagai makanan import dan daging Halal, juga hidangan yang dimasak oleh chef warga Arab.

4. Di sana ada ramai rakyat Malaysia

Image via Instagram @aisya_zulaikha

Daripada pelajar, pelancong, sehinggalah yang menetap di sana, rakyat Malaysia sememangnya begitu sinonim dengan negara Korea Selatan. Pergi saja ke mana-mana tempat tumpuan pelancong, pasti mudah untuk bertemu dengan rakyat Malaysia.Untuk urusan yang lebih mudah, terdapat beberapa pelajar Malaysia di sana yang menjadi tour guide separuh masa. Mana-mana pelancong Malaysia yang datang amat digalakkan untuk mengambil mereka sebagai tour guide. Mereka lebih tahu selok-belok negara tersebut, malah lebih arif tentang isu kemudahan Halal di sana.

5. Kemudahan masjid, surau, dan penyediaan ruang solat yang memudahkan urusan ibadah umat Islam

Memandangkan masyarakat Muslim hanyalah minoriti di Korea Selatan, jadi bilangan masjid tidaklah banyak seperti di Malaysia. Walaubagaimanapun, pelancong Muslim boleh mengunjungi masjid yang terkenal di Seoul iaitu Seoul Central Mosque jika melawati bandar tersebut. Di daerah Gyeonggi pula, terdapat 11 masjid telah dibina di daerah tersebut dan antara yang terkenal adalah Ansan Masjid dan Anyan Masjid. Lebih menarik, terdapat banyak tarikan pelancong yang menyediakan ruang untuk menunaikan solat seperti Nami Island, Everland, Woongjin Playdooci, Petite France, dan banyak lagi. Terkini, Korea Tourism Organization Tourist Center di Seoul yang terletak berhadapan dengan Cheonggyecheon Stream telah mengubah suai dan membesarkan ruang solat untuk keselesaan pelancong Muslim. Ruang solat juga telah dibahagikan antara lelaki dan perempuan.

6. Perkhidmatan penerbangan yang banyak dan semakin kerap ke Korea Selatan

Populariti Korea Selatan sebagai pusat tumpuan pelancong yang saban hari semakin meningkat mendapat tindak balas positif daripada pelbagai syarikat penerbangan apabila kebanyakannya meningkatkan frekuensi penerbangan ke negara tersebut.AirAsia turut tidak melepaskan peluang. Pada 2014, syarikat penerbangan tambang murah no 1 di dunia untuk 7 tahun berturut-turut ini menambah penerbangan ke Incheon dari 7 penerbangan seminggu ke 11 penerbangan seminggu mulai 2 Julai. Kemudian menambah lagi perkhidmatan kepada dua kali sehari dari Kuala Lumpur ke Seoul (Incheon) dari 2 Disember dan seterusnya.

7. Ada beberapa aplikasi berguna untuk digunakan sepanjang berada di Korea Selatan

Selaras dengan usaha pihak kerajaan untuk menggiatkan industri Halal, aplikasi merangkumi topik makanan Halal juga dilihat mula dibangunkan. Salah satunya ialah 'HalalKorea for Muslim' dan juga 'Halal Chopsticks'.Kedua-dua aplikasi ini menyediakan pelbagai informasi berguna yang dikhaskan untuk komuniti Muslim di Korea Selatan. Daripada senarai restoran makanan Halal sehinggalah ke waktu solat dan arah kiblat, semuanya tersedia bagi memudahkan urusan ibadah masyarakat Islam.

8. Pelancong Muslim yang datang ke Korea Selatan dilapor meningkat sebanyak 20% setiap tahun

Menurut statistik dari Korea Tourism Organization, seramai 740,000 pelancong beragama Islam datang melawat Korea Selatan pada tahun 2015. Dan bilangan itu setiap tahun semakin meningkat.Di Seoul juga terdapat satu jalan yang diberi nama Itaewon Street di mana ia dipenuhi dengan restoran Halal, pasar raya dengan sumber makanan Halal dan macam-macam lagi. Bukan sahaja Muslim, Itaewon Street turut menarik perhatian warga Korea untuk datang melawat terutamanya pada hari minggu kerana terdapat pelbagai restoran yang menyediakan hidangan dari India, Pakistan, Turki dan lain-lain lagi.

"Pengiktirafan Ini Bukan Untuk Saya, Tapi..." - Jawapan Dr Noor Hisham Buat Rakyat Kagum

Umum sedia maklum bahawa Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Malaysia iaitu Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah diletakkan dalam senarai tiga doktor terbaik dan diyakini di dunia atas usahanya menangani wabak Covid-19 ketika ini

Image via Amirudin Shari

Beliau telah diiktiraf oleh China Global Televisyen Network (CGTN) sebagai seorang daripada tiga doktor terbaik di dunia dalam usaha menangani situasi pandemik Covid-19 ini.Menurut laporan CGTN, Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham adalah antara tiga doktor terulung peringkat global dalam perang menentang Covid-19 selain pakar penyakit berjangkit Amerika Syarikat (AS), Dr Anthony Fauci dan Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan New Zealand Ashley Bloomfield.Ketiga-tiga mereka dipuji kerana sejak beberapa minggu lalu mengetengahkan penampilan tenang, jelas dan meyakinkan bagi menyalurkan maklumat serta fakta kepada orang ramai mengenai pandemik itu.

Tambahan pula, CGTN turut mengetengahkan bahawa walaupun mereka bukan Menteri Kabinet, namun mereka berjaya muncul sebagai 'wajah' buat negara masing-masing dalam memerangi Covid-19

Wajah ketiga-tiga doktor terbaik di dunia pada ketika ini.

Menurut sumber, CGTN juga menyifatkan penampilan berprofil rendah dan bersahaja menjadi daya tarikan Noor Hisham manakala Bloomfield menyifatkannya sebagai kakitangan awam paling sesuai bagi menyempurnakan tanggungjawab yang diamanahkan.

Tahniah sekali lagi buat ketiga-tiga doktor ini di atas pengiktirafan yang diterima!

Siapa tahu, pengiktirafan yang diterima oleh Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham juga menjadi salah satu soalan yang telah dilontarkan oleh seorang wartawan ketika Sidang Media Harian Covid-19 diadakan semalam, 16 April 2020

Image via Sinar Harian

Oleh itu, seorang pengguna Twitter iaitu @shukery_azizan telah berkongsi pendapat tentang jawapan yang diberikan oleh Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham.Sungguh tidak disangka kerana jawapan beliau benar-benar membuatkan rakyat Malaysia kagum.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Masa sesi sidang media KKM tadi, ada satu soalan daripada media Harian Metro berbunyi lebih kurang“Apa signifikan kepada Datuk dan KKM atas pengiktirafan sebagai 3 pengarah kesihatan terbaik dunia?”Nak tahu apa jawapan beliau? pic.twitter.com/FeAdHm4UAw— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

"Sebenarnya, pengiktirafan ini bukan untuk saya, tetapi lebih kepada NEGARA..."

Sungguh humble dan down to earth. Saya dengar pun rasa terharu. Dia jawab (lebih kurang),“Sebenarnya pengiktirafan ini bukan untuk saya, tetapi lebih kepada NEGARA. Kami di KKM bergerak sebagai satu pasukan....— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

... Dan kami di KKM hanyalah memberikan nasihat sahaja, tetapi yang membuat keputusan dan melaksanakan adalah YAB Perdana Menteri Malaysia.”— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

Dan ayat seterusnya lebih kepada beliau memuji barisan keselamatan merangkumi polis dan tentera, semua pegawai kesihatan, barisan kementerian yang memberikan kerjasama dan rakyat Malaysia. Dia LANGSUNG TAK ambil sebarang kredit di atas pengiktirafan ini.— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

Beliau dikatakan seorang yang merendah diri walaupun pengiktirafan tersebut adalah di atas usaha kerja keras beliau setiap hari bagi memastikan Malaysia dapat memutuskan rantaian Covid-19 ini

Dia lebih sandarkan pengiktirafan itu kepada rakyat, barisan hadapan, semua kementerian khususnya KKM, Perdana Menteri dan negara. Allahu Akhbar. Such a humble person.— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

Di saat dia boleh mengangkat dirinya setinggi mungkin, namun dia tetap memilih untuk mengangkat orang dan pihak lain khususnya negara. Moga kita dapat mencontohi peribadinya yang penuh rendah diri.— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

Terima kasih KKM, bukan setakat menyelamatkan kami, bahkan mengajarkan kami untuk merendah diri.Anda sempat dengar?Kalau tak, pergilah dengar kejap. Kalau nak skip kepada sesi soal jawab pun okay je.— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

Cari soalan daripada wartawan lelaki Harian Metro yang bertanya soalan dalam bahasa Melayu.Hayati kata-kata DG KKM kita, Datuk Noorhisham Abdullah. Benda baik, kita kena kongsi. Moga jadi pengajaran pada kita.#StayAtHome#KitaMestiMenang #ShukeryAzizan— Shukery Azizan (@shukery_azizan) April 16, 2020

Meanwhile In Australia... Cockroach Measuring 2cm Pulled From A Man's Ear

Get ready to squirm: A man in Australia has had a 2cm cockroach removed from his ear

Karama-based Hendrik Helmer's ordeal began in the early hours of Wednesday morning when he was woken by a sharp pain in his right ear, the ABC reports.

The warehouse worker became doubled over in agony as the live insect continued to burrow deeper into his ear canal.

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

Hendrik Helmer described how he was asleep and woke up to "excruciating pain, almost as if somebody was drilling or tapping a nail into the side of my head"

He told 105.7 ABC Darwin radio station the pain began to get worse, and using a vacuum cleaner to try and suck the creature out only appeared to anger it, increasing his pain further.

        belfasttelegraph.co.uk

“Later on, when I stood up and it happened it would sort of hunch me over and drop me down to the ground,” Mr Helmer said.
“I was hoping it wasn't a poisonous spider. I was hoping it didn't bite me.”

        abc.net.au

After trying to treat the problem himself, Mr Helmer eventually went to the hospital, where the doctors removed the bug safely

At the Royal Darwin Hospital, a doctor poured olive oil down his ear canal. However, this made the cockroach burrow down further, before it began to suffocate and die.

        bbc.co.uk

Helmer told the channel: “Near the 10-minute mark… somewhere around there, he started to stop burrowing but he was still in the throes of death-twitching.”

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

Much to Helmer’s relief, the beast was finally removed with the use of forceps. He added: “They said they had never pulled an insect this large out of someone’s ear.”

        independent.co.uk

Helmer has since posted pictures of the dead insect on his Facebook page, quipping:

"Yes, that's Roger my new pet.
"I take him everywhere. He's dead now. He drowned."

Govt Urged To Protect Junior Doctors After Houseman At Penang Hospital Died From A Fall

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

The government has been urged to address the harsh working environment faced by junior doctors, who have often become a subject of bullying and overworking

In separate statements, Penang Deputy Menteri Besar, the state health committee chairman, and the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) have all spoken out following the death of a houseman who fell to his death on 17 April.According to Malaysiakini, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said the case is currently being probed and urged the public to give police time to investigate the cause of death.Penang health director Dr Ma'arof Sudin said an autopsy had been performed and the results are pending.The young doctor reported to the Penang General Hospital for work on 4 April and was found dead on 17 April after falling from his apartment building.His death came to light through a report by The Vibes on 3 May, which noted that the initial investigation has classified the case as sudden death but the police said it may be reclassified if fresh evidence comes to light.Media reports highlighted that it is not an isolated incident as a trainee doctor from the same hospital also fell to his death three weeks after quitting his job in December 2020.

Following the news, Penang state executive councillor (EXCO) Dr Norlela Ariffin said MOH is not taking the issue seriously enough

In a Facebook post yesterday, 4 May, the EXCO — who is also state health committee chairman — said she has brought up the "illogical inhumane working hours faced by housemen" in the past as a family member of hers faced a similar experience."She experienced 27 accidents because she was too tired, and Alhamdulillah, [she] survived. Her friend died," she lamented."I remember a previous doctor killed himself.""But the response I get from MOH administrators, including politicians, is that all doctors have to go through this rite of passage. It's like an accepted culture in the medical profession," she said, adding earlier that employees from other sectors would never be subjected to a similar harsh working environment.The state Penanti assemblyperson also shared that her daughter-in-law started working at a hospital in the UK  about three years ago and is now much happier with "humane work-life conditions"."The state's Health Department (JKN) says the overwork problem is because there isn't enough manpower but there are plenty of medical graduates who did not (get a position) or had to wait a long time to get a job," she said."It does not make sense for MOH to let this issue continue on when doctors need to make life-or-death decisions when they treat patients under these kinds of working conditions."

Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy also echoed the same sentiment, saying that he has heard many stories about how trainee doctors are bullied in public hospitals

Ramasamy said police should not classify cases related to housemen immediately as sudden death but probe for underlying reasons that caused the deaths, reported Free Malaysia Today.

Meanwhile, MMA president Dr Koh Kar Chai also urged the police to investigate without any delays and hoped the privacy of the family will be respected and the incident will not be sensationalised, reported Malay Mail.Speaking to Free Malaysia Today, Koh said young doctors undergoing housemanship may refuse to seek help over workplace stress due to fears of being stigmatised and having their future careers affected, especially if they were diagnosed with serious mental disorders."But those who have stress-related issues should not fear such repercussions," he said."Being stressed is a normal response when a person feels they are not able to cope with a situation. Not everyone knows how to cope properly and they should seek help when it is needed."He said all junior doctors are told during orientation that every hospital has a committee to deal with issues faced by housemen, adding that they are guided by senior doctors at their workplaces."While there may be a few senior house officers and medical officers who are not supportive, the majority will guide the housemen throughout their training period," he said.The MMA president said junior doctors facing problems at hospitals and do not want to report to their seniors due to privacy issues or the fear of repercussions, especially in cases that involve bullying, can reach out to HelpDoc, its own toll-free helpline.Koh said the helpline has helped 120 cases since 2017.

Under Malaysian law, a houseman needs to undergo a two-year training period in government hospitals before they can practise medicine.

You've heard of cowhide and exotic leather bags made out of crocodiles, snakes, and kangaroos. But have you ever heard of handbags made out of... frogs?

Image via @anabelle_co (Instagram)

In the Philippines, there are small purses being sold which are made out of real frogs. Dead, of course.

A video posted by @anabelle_co, a Chinese-Filipino expat living in Malaysia, caught our attention when she recently shared about these frog purses she found on Boracay Island.The shop seller confirmed that they are indeed real frogs. They stick on googly eyes, as they can't preserve the real ones because they will decompose when making the bags.

Each frog purse comes with a long strap and a zip on the underside where you can store coins and other small items

Anabelle told SAYS that several Malaysians even dropped her a message to buy one for them before she returns home.Here's the video she posted:

No Longer Just A Cooking Icon: Pavithra Has Been Named An 'Ipoh City Icon'

There appears to be no stopping 28-year-old Pavithra.
Just yesterday, 20 July, the homegrown YouTube star was named an 'Ipoh City Icon' by mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin.

The title, which was previously also awarded to actress Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh, is exclusively given to Ipoh-born individuals in recognition of their successes and contribution to the city. Pavithra, who was born in Buntong, Ipoh, earned the title after her and her husband's YouTube channel 'Sugu Pavithra' became an instant hit among locals who fell in love with their easy-to-follow Malaysian recipes and the duo's humble personalities. Bernama quoted Datuk Rumaizi as saying during a press conference on Monday, "Ipoh City Council (MBI) is honest in its recognition of Pavithra because she is well known and many are now following their cooking recipes."

The mother of two expressed her gratitude to MBI as well as to fans of her shared YouTube channel

"I want to thank all those who have supported us and given us words of encouragement all this while," she said during the press conference.

Image via Twitter @mbi_citycouncil

Pavithra and former estate worker Sugu recently celebrated receiving their Silver Play Button from YouTube after hitting 100,000 subscribers earlier this year. However, they have since far surpassed that milestone with their channel now boasting almost 800,000 subscribers!

Pavithra joins 10 other individuals who have also earned the title of Ipoh City Icon 2020

Malay Mail reported that the council are still in the midst of awarding other deserving icons out of the 100 candidates they have already identified. Due to COVID-19, the final list of award recipients will only be announced at the city's 33rd anniversary celebration in May 2021.

It's been non-stop for the cooking duo as they have accomplished one milestone after another:

Previously, Pavithra said that she would love to cook for the Prime Minister.

Motorcyclist In Johor Dies After Crashing Into A Cow And Being Dragged 60M By A Car

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

A 23-year-old man in Johor was recently killed in a tragic accident

According to Harian Metro, the incident took place last night, 4 May, around 8.45pm.Kota Tinggi district police chief Supt Hussin Zamora said that the victim has been identified as Mazrul Hakimi Miskan from Felda Air Tawar 4.

Image via PDRM/Berita Harian

While on the way from Jalan Sungai Rengit-Kota Tinggi headed towards Felda Semenchu, the man crashed into a cow and fell off his motorcycle

"About 2km from the exit towards the Felda Semenchu main road, the victim crashed into a cow that was crossing the road," Hussin explained."He then fell and was sprawled on the ground while his motorcycle skidded to the side of the road."After that, a 19-year-old driving a Proton Wira from the opposite lane hit the victim and dragged his body as far as 60m. He did not notice the victim on the road due to the fact that there were no streetlights at the location.

Image via PDRM/Berita Harian

Mazrul died at the scene after sustaining severe injuries to his head

Meanwhile, the driver of the Proton Wira escaped with no injuries.The body has been taken to Kota Tinggi Hospital for further action and the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

While speaking to Berita Harian, Hussin said, "Road users are advised to always be careful while driving, especially in dark areas, in order to avoid accidents as danger is unpredictable. Be mindful drivers and the safety of road users is everyone's responsibility."


How To Create The Perfect 'Hipster' Photo In 7 Easy Steps

Step 1: Take a shot of... basically anything. You know, hipsters are very versatile people. We bring meaning and perspective to every entity and subject in life, including the photos we take.

Image via SAYS

In this case, I took a shot of a seemingly unglamorous construction site. It's dirty, messy and cluttered - but that's we want - hipsters find peace in the midst of chaos.

Step 2: Import your photos to the many mobile editing photography apps available - we strongly recommend VSCO Cam and SnapSeed. These two apps are #hipstercertified.

Image via SAYS

For this shot, I'll be using VSCO Cam to do my edits. Ironically, VSCO Cam is so popular and mainstream. Download VSCO Cam on iTunes and Google Playstore. Download SnapSeed on iTunes and GooglePlaystore.

Step 3: This is where the magic happens - editing. Yah, no uploads goes without editing. That #nofilter hashtag on your hipster buddy's white-washed-coffee-shot was probably a lie.

Image via SAYS

First, crop your photo and make sure that everything is centred. Rule of symmetry is key. Plus, if you have a serious case of OCD like I do - chances are you'll spend hours just trying to get everything well scaled.

Hey, don't judge. Image is everything.
Image via beheadingboredom

Step 4: Now that you've framed up your photo and your OCD is out of the way, feel free to adjust the exposure and contrast

Image via SAYS

The contrasting feature is godsend. Use it with caution though, you don't want your photo looking like something you see out of a wallpaper.

Step 5: Decrease the saturation of the photo. I repeat: DECREASE IT GOOD. If the lack of colour doesn't make everything look more mysterious and desirable, I don't know what will.

Image via SAYS

The lower, the better.

Step 6: Pick your filter. Choosing the correct filter is crucial, it's almost like picking the correct outfit for the appropriate occasion. You wouldn't go to a wedding in slippers and shorts right?

Image via SAYS

The HYPEBEAST filter pack is one of my favourite filters of all time. The filters capture visual aesthetics that every narcissistic hipster would die for.No worries, the filter pack is FREE on VSCO Cam.

Step 7: Upload on Instagram. Insert unrelated caption. I strongly encourage using words like 'deep', 'ponder', 'wander', 'reflect' - you get the drill.

Image via SAYS

Insert captions like this because it's cryptic and #deep at the same. Your followers would all be wondering and solving the puzzle that is your life. Remember to add in at least 5 hashtags. It will help you gain Likes from random people.

And... that's how you perfect your own 'hipster' photo. All you need is a little bit of practice, a good editing app and okaylah, some photography skills! :)


Developers From China Are Hoping To Transform Johor Bahru Into The Next Shenzhen

The influx of Chinese competition in the region is affecting local property developers in major ways

Image via Bloomberg

Profits for local companies like UEM Sunrise Bhd., Sunway Bhd. and SP Setia Bhd have slumped over the years.It has been reported that UEM's profit has dropped 58 percent while other companies have offered discounts up to 20 percent in a desperate bid to accelerate sales.

While it's bad news for local developers, the Chinese are betting on Johor Bahru to be the next Shenzhen - a fishing village that transformed into a bustling city in three decades

Image via Bloomberg

“The Chinese developers see this as an opportunity. A lot of them say Iskandar is just like Shenzhen was 10 years ago," said Jonathan Lo, manager of valuations at CH Williams Talhar & Wong, a property broker based in Johor Bahru. “

According to a report by business news site Bloomberg, a Chinese property developer is in the midst of creating a 'city' in Johor Bahru

Image via Bloomberg

The man-made city will be located on reclaimed land facing Singapore up north. The massive project - which will cost around USD100 billion (RM442 billion) to build - is under Country Garden, a Chinese property development company.

When completed, the property Forest City will sit on four artificial islands that will reportedly house 700,000 people

Forest City will be located in a reclaimed land just outside the border of Singapore.
Image via Bloomberg

The city will have office towers, parks, hotels, shopping malls and an international school, all draped with greenery. Construction began in February and about 8,000 apartments have been sold, the company said.

        bloomberg.com

Bloomberg has also stated that Forest City is the biggest out of the ongoing 60 projects in the Iskandar Malaysia zone

The Forest City project will span over four artificial islands.
Image via Bloomberg

Iskandar Malaysia, formerly known as Iskandar Development Region (IDR), is the main southern development corridor. It is a mixed development project in an area three times the size of Singapore, aiming to escalate the growth of the region in various sectors including property, education, and transportation.The development of Iskandar Malaysia began in 2006.

Back in 2013, Country Garden - which is in partnership with the Johor state - launched the waterfront project called Danga Bay

Image via Cadiz
