37-year-old Baiq Nuril Maknun had recorded a telephone conversation of hers with the head of the school where she worked at in Lombok.According to Amnesty International, the recorded conversation where the principal allegedly made sexually explicit and abusive comments had been shared among staff members of the school.Nuril's acquaintance then used it to lodge an official complaint against the principal - who is named Muslim - with the local education agency. The audio had also gone viral.

The sentence comes from the Supreme Court, overturning a local court's previous verdict that found Nuril not guilty of defamation against Muslim

The Jakarta Post reported that Nuril will need to serve a six-month sentence and pay a Rp 500 million (roughly RM143,470) fine after being found guilty of violating Article 27 of the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law for "recording and spreading 'indecent' material", according to Thomsom Reuters Foundation.Although the ruling was delivered in a closed-door deliberation on 26 September, it was only made public this week."The supreme court judges were satisfied that she has violated the law," the Supreme Court spokesman Suhadi told Thomson Reuters Foundation.Meanwhile, The Jakarta Post reported that Muslim has been promoted to a position within the local education agency.

Various non-profit organisations based in Indonesia are angered over the latest ruling against a victim of sexual harassment

"She is innocent, she is the victim and yet she is the one who is being punished. Where can her family get Rp 500 million when it is already difficult for her, her husband, and three children to pay for their daily needs," a Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet) volunteer Furkan Rudy Ermansah told The Jakarta Post. Rudy added that Nuril had been fired from her position when the case first came to light in 2014.

Amnesty International Indonesia's executive director Usman Hamid released a statement saying, "It is a travesty that while the victim of the alleged abuse has been convicted for recording this call, little if any action appears to have been taken by the authorities to investigate what appear to be credible claims."

			In this case, it appears a woman was criminalised simply for taking steps to redress the abuse she experienced.
        Amnesty International Indonesia’s executive director Usman Hamid

Maidina Rahmawati from the Institute for Criminal Justice Reform said the verdict will deter other victims from reporting future abuses, adding, "This case is just an example of how the law, which is too vague, could be used against vulnerable women who were trying to protect themselves."

Roman Abramovich Mahu Derma Semua Hasil Jualan Kelab Chelsea Kepada Mangsa Perang Ukraine

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

Pemilik Chelsea, Roman Abramovich mengesahkan kelab itu akan dijual dan beliau akan menghapuskan hutang Chelsea dengannya sebanyak £1.5 bilion (RM8.4 bilion)

Menerusi kenyataan rasmi yang dimuat naik oleh Chelsea, Abramovich mengesahkan beliau dalam proses menjual Chelsea dan perkembangan terkini itu sememangnya mengejutkan banyak pihak.Jelas beliau lagi, hasil jualan prospektif itu akan disumbangkan kepada mangsa perang di Ukraine.Terdahulu, MailOnline melaporkan kelab itu telah diletakkan di pasaran dengan tujuan untuk mendapatkan semula sekurang-kurangnya £3 bilion (RM16.8 bilion).Berikut adalah kenyataan rasmi penuh daripada Abramovich mengenai perkembangan terkini mengenai kelab Chelsea itu:

"Saya tidak akan meminta sebarang pinjaman dibayar balik" - Roman Abramovich

"Saya ingin menjelaskan mengenai spekulasi dalam media sejak beberapa hari lalu berhubung pemilikan saya terhadap Chelsea FC."Seperti yang saya nyatakan sebelum ini, saya sentiasa mengambil keputusan dengan kepentingan terbaik. Dalam keadaan semasa, saya mengambil keputusan untuk menjual kelab ini, kerana saya percaya ini adalah untuk kepentingan terbaik kelab, peminat, pekerja, serta penaja dan rakan kongsi kelab."Penjualan kelab tidak akan dilakukan dengan singkat, tetapi mengikut proses yang sewajarnya. Saya tidak akan meminta sebarang pinjaman dibayar balik."Ini tidak pernah mengenai perniagaan atau wang untuk saya, tetapi mengenai semangat murni untuk permainan dan kelab. Selain itu, saya mengarahkan pasukan saya untuk menubuhkan yayasan amal di mana semua hasil bersih daripada jualan akan didermakan.

"Yayasan itu akan memanfaat semua mangsa perang di Ukraine. Ini termasuk menyediakan dana kritikal untuk keperluan mendesak dan segera buat mangsa, serta menyokong kerja pemulihan jangka panjang."Ini adalah keputusan yang sangat sukar untuk dibuat, dan tentunya 'sedih' untuk berpisah dengan kelab melalui cara ini. Walau bagaimanapun, saya percaya ini demi kepentingan terbaik kelab."Saya harap saya akan dapat melawat Stamford Bridge buat kali terakhir untuk mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada anda semua secara peribadi. Menjadi sebahagian daripada Chelsea FC merupakan satu keistimewaan seumur hidup dan saya berbangga dengan semua pencapaian bersama."Kelab bola sepak Chelsea dan penyokongnya akan sentiasa berada di hati saya," kata Abramovich.

Sikap tidak sabar Abramovich bawa kejayaan buat Chelsea

Kejayaan diraih skuad The Blues sepanjang 19 tahun Abramovich berkuasa adalah disebabkan rasa tidak sabarnya terhadap ramai pengurus.Thomas Tuchel menjadi pengurus ke-13 Chelsea sepanjang era Abramovich selepas penjaring terbanyak sepanjang zaman kelab berkenaan, Frank Lampard dipecat.Walaupun sentiasa ada perubahan, Chelsea mencipta kestabilan dalam mencipta kejayaan.Sebagai rekod, tiada kelab England memenangi lebih banyak kejuaraan sejak pemilik dari Russia itu mengambil alih kelab pada 2003 yang menukar nasib Chelsea termasuk menang lima gelaran Liga Perdana, dua Liga Juara-Juara, lima Piala FA, tiga Piala Liga, dua Piala Europa dan kini Piala Dunia Kelab FIFA.Mereka juga mara ke final Piala Liga musim ini dan bersaingan di Liga Juara-Juara, sekalipun gelaran Liga Perdana tampak masih jauh buat pasukan itu.

MRT Stations Vandalised: Broken Toilets And Trash Thrown All Over The Place

The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) line was opened at 4pm last Monday, 17 July.
Now, just a week later from when it was launched, reports have surfaced on how parts of the stations have been vandalised.

Image via Astro Awani/MRT

According to a report by Astro Awani, some of the stations, especially the MRT Merdeka and MRT Bukit Bintang station, are already starting to show signs of being vandalised, with some of the toilets damaged and seats in the platforms left with scratches.

There were reportedly sightings of cigarette buds and trash strewn all over the floor.
Some of the damages were apparently so bad to the point that certain seats in the platform had to removed to be fixed.

Image via Astro Awani/MRT

Astro Awani spoke to one of the maintenance workers for MRT, Md Rasal, who told them that he had seen people littering at MRT stations."I've seen people throwing things like rubbish, wood, and other random things. But, I can't reprimand them because they are Malaysians and I am a foreigner. The only thing I can do is to take photos of it and alert the management," he told Astro Awani.

One of the main attractions at the new MRT stations are the engravings of the Rukun Negara tenets on the wall of MRT Merdeka station.
Unfortunately, some of the engravings are chipping off after some parents were reportedly seen letting their children climb on the walls.

"These wall panels are very expensive and we hope that parents can control their children and ensure that they are not climbing on the walls. "Other than disrespecting the message of Rukun Negara, it could also be dangerous for the children if they fall."The engravings should be respected as it is our pledge as Malaysians," said MRT Merdeka station manager, Chia Seng Kah, when speaking to Astro Awani.

MRT Corp strategic communications and stakeholder relations director Datuk Najmuddin Abdullah also posted a series of photos depicting the sad state of the brand new MRT stations

"I went around to several @mrtmalaysia stations today. Happy to see weekend crowds in the trains. What I'm sad about is the damages/vandalism that has happened at our stations. Just after five days of operations! So many scratches on benches and walls. Damages in toilets - a toilet in an OKU  toilet was broken two days ago."Just now I saw a broom stick (penyapu!!!) and a spotlight on the rooftop of Exit F at MRT Bukit Bintang station. I'm sure those two dead things didn't walk up to the roof by themselves," read his Facebook status that was posted yesterday, 23 July. "We provide a first class facility but if the society is not ready with first class mentality to embrace it, we are going to waste a lot of money and time unnecessarily to do the repair works," reminded Datuk Najmuddin Abdullah. He even took a photo of a splint from the Rukun Negara wall. The post has garnered more than 1,000 likes and 600 shares.

Vandalism aside, the government announced last week that passengers can get a 50% discount for all MRT, LRT and Monorail rides:

                Passengers Can Enjoy 50% Discount For All LRT, MRT & Monorail Rides Until 31 August

PM Najib Razak made the announcement today, 17 July, when launching Phase 2 of the MRT-Sungai Buloh line.

This Website Lets Guys Fund Boob Jobs for Women and is All for 'Sexual Empowerment'

What is Myfreeimplants?

MyFreeImplants is a website based on the social networking model. The service purports to be an alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery financing methods.

        wikipedia.org

Models participate on the website with the main goal of raising money to fund a breast augmentation procedure through online donations.

        slate.com

Here's how it works

The goal behind the website is to match up women (“the girls”) with benefactors (“the donors”) who will cover the costs of breast augmentation surgery.

        stuff.co.nz

To start soliciting donations, a woman need merely provide her name, birthday, and several pictures. Within seconds, she can start updating her status and chatting with donors.

        slate.com

If she’s feeling ambitious, she can participate in one of the many “contests” set up by donors. An AIM-like chat function, which limits text and automatically deletes chat history, is free to use, but direct messages cost a donor $1 each.

        stuff.co.nz

And users can swap pictures and videos of anything they’d like through invitation-only private galleries. The women of MFI never get direct access to any money that is raised; rather, it goes to an escrow known, inevitably, as the Boob Bank.

        thegloss.com

When a woman reaches her goal, usually around $5,500, the money is paid directly to an MFI-affiliated plastic surgeon who performs her surgery. If all goes well, her before-and-after pictures, along with a Q&A, enter the hallowed MFI Hall of Fame.

        stuff.co.nz

If a woman quits MFI, any donors get their money back. Even if she successfully reaches her goal, the woman never actually gets her hands on the money. When people donate to her “boob bank,” the money is held there until she reaches her goal.

        thegloss.com

The site has about 13,500 active users—3,500 women and 10,000 men

The BAAPS and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons would like to go on the record as being very much not in favor of this shenanigans. “It turns a surgical procedure into a contest, and that is not something we think is appropriate,” said the president of the American Society.

        slate.com

The site currently has 3,500 women registered and 10,000 registered men. More than 1,000 women have gotten breast implants through MFI. The site raised $2.8 million in 2008 and says it has raised over $12.5 million since it was founded in 2005.  The website takes 19 percent of all donations.

        thegloss.com

Moore and Grunstra launched MFI’s prototype in 2005. Their vision, a hybrid between a social network and crowdsourced funding, appeals to social libertarianism, with an undercurrent of sexual empowerment.

        stuff.co.nz

Breast implants increase cancer death risk and other complications

Women who have cosmetic surgery to increase the size of their breasts may be at greater risk of dying from breast cancer, scientists say.

        independent.co.uk

After having breast implant surgery, about one in three women will require further surgery within 10 years of their initial operation.

        www.nhs.uk

Most implants are filled with saline solution or silicone which are radio-obscure – X-rays cannot penetrate them – so they cast a shadow obscuring the breast tissue that lies behind them.

        fda.gov

Following breast implant surgery, about one in seven women find their nipples are less sensitive or completely desensitised (have no sensation at all). Alternatively, after having breast implant surgery your nipples may be more sensitive. Sometimes, the nipples can become so sensitive they are painful.

        www.nhs.uk

Will a service like this heal women of their insecurities and help them deal with the pressure to look good?

Every woman is insecure about her body. This includes worrying about not being thin enough, not being curvy enough, not having certain facial features such as big eyes, fuller lips or having cellulite, among a host of other things.

        magforwomen.com

Self conscious women in relationships are ignoring the negatives of sleeping in slap and are going to bed with mascara, foundation and even fake eyelashes on, to give the illusion of round the clock beauty.

        dailymail.co.uk

'Putting the clinically proven negative impact on skin health aside, what was most interesting from our results is just how many women admitted to keeping makeup on when they slept, despite over half claiming it negatively affected the quality of their night’s sleep.

Facebook's New Feature Will Allow You To Access Apps Without Giving Up Your Data

At Its F8 Developer Conference, Facebook Announced A Brand New Version Of Its Login System For Third-Party Apps That Lets People Log In Anonymously

Image via wordpress.com

During a keynote speech at Facebook's F8 Developer Conference, Zuckerberg announced the "anonymous login," as a way for users to maintain more control over how much personal information they'd like to share, when they use their Facebook account to log into other apps and websites.

        fb.com

Zuckerberg said during the conference that "we know some people are scared of pressing [the social login button].... if you're using an app that you don't completely trust... then you don't want to give a lot of permissions."

        thewire.com

The New Login Also Gives You Total Granular Control Over What Data Types You Give An App

Image via wordpress.com

In addition, Facebook’s login service for mobile apps now offers users more fine-grained controls over what they share with an app. Starting today, users can’t just decide whether an app can publish to your news feed and what date it can read from it, but they will have very precise controls over what exactly gets shared.

        techcrunch.com

The anonymous log-in button, which is black as opposed to Facebook's iconic blue, is meant to let members easily log in to applications without a username or password, but without the sometimes unnerving commitment of handing over personal Facebook data to an untrusted source. You can do that a later date if you want, of course.

        cnet.com

Although, Facebook Is Only Testing The New Feature With Select Developers Like Flipboard, Which Means You Likely Won't See It For Several Months To Come

Meanwhile, Fast Company's Mark Wilson Says The Anonymous Login Isn't Totally Anonymous. Wilson Explains This By Writing:

"Facebook Anonymous Login is a bit like Google's Incognito browsing they introduced inside Chrome. Except, again, it doesn't appear to be 100% anonymous because Facebook still sees the user going anonymous to check out an app. That would be a bit like Chrome keeping you logged into YouTube when you're browsing in Incognito mode."

        fastcompany.com

He also explains that if, after using Anonymous Login to download an app, you decide that you like it you still do have to log in with Facebook at some point later on. So it's sort of anonymous... temporarily.

        thewire.com

Zuckerberg Also Announced That Users Would Have More Privacy Options On Facebook.Com, Too. The Wall Street Journal Explains:

Image via wired.com

"The changes, which Facebook says will be adopted by websites and mobile apps within the next year, will give users more choices about the personal information they share with third parties. By checking or unchecking a box, users will be able to specify if they want to share their friend list, their birthday or their “likes,” among others. Currently, people who log in with Facebook Login don’t control the information they share, including their email addresses, their friend lists and other personal data. "

Sejarah Menarik Mengenai Krabi & Phuket Yang Anda WAJIB Tahu Jika Suka Bercuti Di Sana

Setelah penat bekerja, mestilah anda inginkan masa untuk bercuti bukan? Dalam masa yang sama boleh menenangkan minda yang tidak pernah berhenti berfikir sepanjang waktu bekerja.

Kebanyakan daripada anda semua pasti akan memilih tempat yang boleh merehatkan minda. Salah satunya adalah pulau, siapa tak suka pulau kan? Tempat yang paling tenang di dunia, lagi-lagi bila anda terlalu stress dengan kerja, dapat pergi pulau memang seronok sangat lah.

Image via The Times

Destinasi yang sering menjadi pilihan orang adalah pulau di Krabi dan juga Phuket. Namun, adakah anda tahu kisah sebenar disebalik dua pulau ini?Jika tidak, baca perkongsian oleh seorang lelaki di laman Twitter mengenai sejarah Krabi dan Phuket ini. Sangat menarik!

Krabi dan Phuket merupakan salah satu dari sempadan asal Semenanjung Tanah Melayu dan ianya adalah jauh lebih luar dari yang sebelumnya

Image via Twitter @LeAlterEgo

Semenanjung Tanah Melayu bermula dari utara Segenting Kera yang berada di bawah wilayah negara Thailand & Myanmar sampailah ke bahagian selatan Singapura. Inilah peta sebenar. Pada masa dahulu, Phuket dikenali sebagai Pulau Bukit, manakala Krabi pula berasal dari perkataan Ghraibi.Untuk pengetahuan anda, Phuket dan Krabi dulunya merupakan tempat berkelah keluarga diraja Kedah dan merupakan salah satu jajahan takluk Sultan Kedah sebelum termeterainya perjanjian Anglo-Siamese Treaty pada tahun 1909.Malah, penduduk yang berada di Negeri Patani bertutur dengan menggunakan Bahasa Melayu dan juga loghat Kelantan (Yawi).

Selain itu, penduduk Melayu yang berasal daripada Wilayah Setul yang kini dikenali sebagai Satun hingga ke Rundung dan kini dengan nama 'Ranong' dan 'Pulau Dua' (Kawthoung) pada hari ini bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu dengan loghat Kedah

Jangan salah sangka bila pergi ke kawasan tu dan jumpa dgn penduduk Melayu. Mereka semuanya bukanlah pendatang di negara Thailand tapi sebaliknya merupakan kaum asal yg telah lama menduduki kawasan tersebut sejak dulu dan merupakan warisan daripada Kerajaan Srivijaya dan Langkasuka.Hanya pada tahun 1909 disebabkan oleh Anglo-Siamese Treaty yang dibuat antara pihak British dengan Thailand telah memisahkan Semenanjung Tanah Melayu kepada dua bahagian. Perjanjian inilah sebenarnya yang telah menukarkan semua nama-nama Melayu yang berada di Thailand kemudiannya diubah kepada sebutan dalam bahasa Thai. Perjanjian Anglo Siamese Treaty ni dibuat tanpa melibatkan perbincangan dengan Raja-Raja Melayu yang berada di negeri-negeri berkenaan.

Semua wilayah milik Melayu yang berasal dari Patani, Singgora (Songkhla), Setul (Satun) hingga ke Segenting Kra telah dirampas oleh British dan diberikan hak kepada Thai

Pada tahun 1938, Phibun Songkram yang merupakan Perdana Menteri Thai ketika itu mengamalkan pemerintahan secara kuku besi. Beliau kemudiannya menukar nama Negara Siam kepada Prathet Thai/Thailand.Secara umumnya, Thailand bermaksud ‘Negara Bagi Orang-orang Bebas' tetapi secara metaforanya Thailand membawa maksud kepada ‘Tanah Orang-Orang Thai’.Phibun Songkram sebenarnya berhasrat untuk menjadikan Thailand sebuah negara kesatuan berdasarkan kepada budaya Kaum T’ai dan agama Buddha Theravada.Kaum-kaum minoriti termasuklah Melayu yang ada di wilayah-wilayah asal Semenanjung Tanah Melayu telah dipaksa untuk ‘menjadi Thai’ melalui pemaksaan dasar Thai Ratthaniyom dan nama-nama tempat yang berbunyi Melayu di kawasan Segenting Kra diubah kepada sebutan dalam Bahasa Thai.

Image via Twitter @LeAlterEgo

Image via Twitter @LeAlterEgo

Sebab itulah siapa yang pernah berkunjung ke Hatyai mungkin tahu dan tidak tahu bahawa Samila Beach sebenarnya berasal dari perkataan Melayu iaitu Pantai Bismillah. Jadi, sesiapa yang pernah pergi ke Phi-Phi Island mesti perasan dengan signboard ini. Koh Phi Phi berasal dari perkataan pulau api-api.

Image via Twitter @LeAlterEgo

Tanggal 10 Mac yang lepas genaplah 109 tahun wilayah Melayu di selatan Thailand terpisah dgn Semenanjung Tanah Melayu

Alangkah indah sekali kalau mereka masih menjadi dari sebahagian daripada kita. Tapi sejarah hanya tinggal sejarah dan kini hanya tinggal secebis tanah yang berdaulat. Pada waktu sekarang kaum Melayu yang berada di negeri Setul, Singgora dan Patani sahaja yang masih mampu bertutur dalam bahasa Melayu mengikut loghat tempatan. Ketiga-tiga negeri ini telah ditukarkan kepada sebutan dalam bahasa Thai bahkan negeri Singgora sendiri telah dipecahkan kepada empat daerah.Sekarang Singgora dikenali sebagai Songkhla dan empat daerah yang dipecahkan ialah Thepha (nama aslinya Tiba), Chenak, Saba Yoi (nama asal Sebayu) dan Nawi. Manakala negeri Patani pula dipecahkan kepada Pattani, Yala (Jala) dan Narathiwat (Menara).Sementara masyarakat Melayu Islam yang lain yang berada di wilayah asal Semenanjung Tanah Melayu lain terus menjadi minoriti dan ada juga yang ditindas. Ada juga kebanyakannya telah berkahwin dengan kaum Thai dan tak mampu lagi untuk bertutur dalam bahasa Melayu.

Agama Islam yang menjadi penanda bahawa mereka masih lagi merupakan keturunan Melayu, akan tetapi masyarakat Melayu yang berada di wilayah Pulau Dua (kini dengan nama Kawthoung) yang terletak di Myanmar masih lagi mampu bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu dengan loghat Kedah

Image via Twitter @LeAlterEgo

Sesiapa yang pernah sampai ke wilayah Ranong (Rundung) Thailand, jangan lepaskan peluang untuk pergi ke Batu Tanda yang menyimpan lipatan sejarah besar yang berkaitan dengan masyarakat Melayu dan Siam di zaman silam.Batu Tanda tersebut dinamakan sebagai Ban Malayu di Thailand yang bermaksud sempadan Melayu. Kawasan itulah sebenarnya merupakan tempat yang paling sempit antara bahagian timur dengan bahagian barat Segenting Kera.Dan wilayah Segenting Kera ni juga merupakan sebuah kawasan yang menjadi saksi kepada kemunculan dan perkembangan awal tamadun Melayu menerusi beberapa buah kerajaan utama seperti Langkasuka dan Sri Wijaya.Wilayah ini juga menjadi pertembungan beberapa siri peperangan dan perebutan wilayah antara orang-orang Melayu dengan pendatang T’ai yang berhijrah dari China secara berterusan yakni sejak dari era Kerajaan Sukothai, Ayutthaya hinggalah kepada Dinasti Chakri pada hari ini.

Ving Chun is a branch of Wing Chun, led by Prof Dr. Brandon Chan.The main objective of Ving Chun  (or VC as it is commonly abbreviated) is to be a realistic system of self-defense. VC  does not focus on fighting “techniques”, instead relying on fighting and energy principles to be followed at all times. The central idea is that, under pressure, it is impossible to visually recognize the precise direction and speed of an attack and make a conscious decision on an effective way in which to react, all within the very brief amount of time you have before your opponent's attack lands.

Wan Azizah Kena Kutuk "Kaw-Kaw" Sebab Makan Nasi Lemak Dalam KTM. Tapi Sebenarnya...

Tengahari semalam, Dr Wan Azizah telah mengadakan program Jelajah Amanat Presiden sehingga ke Ipoh di mana beliau menaiki tren Electric Train Service (ETS) Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) dari KL Sentral ke Ipoh

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Tujuan jelajah itu adalah untuk mempromosikan prinsip perjuangan dan hala tuju KEADILAN di samping beliau mempunyai satu mesyuarat tertutup bersama Majlis Pimpinan Negeri (MPN) Perak

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Dr Wan Azizah sempat memuat naik gambar beliau sedang menikmati nasi lemak bungkus ketika masih dalam perjalanan menggunakan tren ETS tersebut ke Ipoh

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Gambar itu turut diletakkan caption yang boleh bikin panas:"Alhamdulillah..ada rezeki makan nasi lemak bungkus untuk tengahari ini dalam tren..nak order makanan lain nanti kena GST pula.."

Mungkin niat Dr Wan Azizah hendak memberitahu para penyokong parti di bawah pimpinannya bahawa dia juga sama seperti orang biasa, boleh menjamu selera ala kadar di dalam pengangkutan awam...

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

...namun malangnya, muncul lebih 2,000 netizen yang tidak berpuas hati dengan gambar tersebut dan mengutuk perbuatan Dr Wan Azizah yang dikatakan melanggar peraturan tidak dibenarkan makan dalam KTM

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Orang ramai juga turut mempertikai beg kertas Oppo yang diletakkan di sebelah Dr Wan Azizah sambil mendakwa beliau hipokrit dengan berkata, "Beli telefon bimbit Oppo tak kena GST pulak?" Ish ish...Tajam betul mata korang!

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Image via Facebook Dr Wan Azizah

Memang benar, peraturan dalam KTM tidak membenarkan penumpang makan dan minum sepanjang masa ketika berada di dalam tren

Image via mykmu.net

Ini adalah untuk mengelakkan bau-bauan makanan mengganggu keselesaan penumpang dan berlakunya insiden seperti makanan atau minuman tumpah.

Tetapi lain pula peraturannya jika anda menaiki tren ETS atau tren antarabandar. Memandangkan ia merupakan tren untuk perjalanan jauh, makan dan minum adalah dibenarkan.

Image via www.twitter.com

Anda juga boleh membeli makanan di dalam kafe yang disediakan di dalam tren ETS yang biasanya terdapat di Koc C. Jadi sebenarnya, tiada masalah pun kalau Dr Wan Azizah nak makan dalam tren KTM tersebut.

Jadi, orang kutuklah macam mana pun, Dr Wan Azizah sebenarnya tak salah

Kami rasa karenah segelintir rakyat Malaysia ni kadang-kadang agak lucu. Mereka sangat bersemangat, walaupun selalunya tidak kena pada tempat dan masanya. Betul tak?

Ingat pesanan Ayahanda!

Which Nail Polish Matches The Shoe? Yeah, The Internet Is Breaking Down (Again)

Back in February, the colour of this dress tore everyone apart. Relationships were broken, lives were crushed and egos were hurt.

That dress has been chucked out of the closet to make room for a new dilemma...

At the time of writing, the tweet hit 6,000 retweets and 7,000 favourites, all because people couldn't agree on the colour that should go with her shoes.

More People Died Due To Road Accidents Than Coronavirus During MCO In Malaysia

According to the Bukit Aman Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department, road-related deaths rose throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO)

Meanwhile, the number of reported road fatalities increased in the Conditional MCO (CMCO).A total of 208 road fatalities were recorded during the first four phases of MCO from 18 March to 4 May. The subsequent two phases of CMCO recorded 299 driving-related deaths from 5 May to 9 June. The numbers highlight that as the movement restrictions were eased, road accidents increased.The statistics, released by Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah on 10 June, cover all six phases of the partial lockdown around the country that started from 18 March and ended on 9 June.On 10 June, Malaysia entered its next phase to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. This phase — called the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) — has fewer restrictions and will last until 31 August.

Image via Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah

In total, 507 people lost their lives to road accidents in Malaysia during the six phases of MCO which ended on 9 June. For context, the period recorded 115 out of all 118 COVID-19 related deaths in Malaysia.To summarise, more people died due to road accidents than those killed by the coronavirus in 83 days.

And as interstate travel restrictions are now eased, the road accident numbers are expected to further increase, a concern shared by Dr Noor Hisham during his COVID-19 press briefing on Wednesday

"The Health Ministry is concerned with the safety of the public, especially those commuting daily for work, following the reopening of economy, social, and other sectors," the Health DG said.He emphasised that while road accidents cause loss of life and limbs, they also unnecessarily burden the health facilities, leading to an increase in the number of patients in the emergency wards."There will also be an increase in blood transfusion needed normally done for victims with severe injuries," Dr Noor Hisham said while advising the public to drive carefully and avoid driving when tired.

×

What's the reason behind so many road fatalities during MCO?

The statistics didn't carry any data except for the number of road accidents and deaths.However, seeing how the numbers may prompt some to assume that drunk-driving could be the reason behind it — despite the fact that driving under the influence (DUI) contributes to a small fraction of total fatal accidents — we decided to take a look at a separate data by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).According to the PDRM statistics recorded between January to May 2020, there were 21 cases of drunk-driving. Out of which eight resulted in deaths, as noted by a Bernama report on 2 June.If those numbers are taken into account, DUI-related deaths contributed to about 1% of the total road fatalities of 507 people recorded during the partial lockdown period in the country.To highlight these numbers is not to undermine the loss of life caused by drunk-driving when even a single DUI-related death is too much but to shine a light on the reality versus public perception.In fact, contrary to public perception, the percentage of death due to drunk-driving has fallen a whopping 96% in the period of six years between 2013 (23.3%) to 2018 (under 1%), according to data provided by the United Nations (UN) Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).

Meanwhile, a Malaysian has recently taken to driving around the Klang Valley hoping to discourage others from drinking and driving:

"She Makes Me Disappointed This Year" - Ibu Luah Perasaan Kecewa Anak Dapat 4A Dalam UPSR

Lumrah sebagai seorang ibu, pastinya mahu memberikan hanya yang terbaik untuk anak-anak

Image via Ainaa Amanda Shahzali/Facebook

Ibu mana yang tak sayang anak kan? Dari kecil hinggalah ke dewasa, kasih sayang yang dicurahkan ibu terhadap anak-anak tetap tidak pudar. Ibu sentiasa berada disisi anak dalam apa jua keadaan.

Dan lumrah juga bagi si anak untuk sentiasa mahu menghadiahkan sesuatu yang istimewa kepada si ibu yang telah banyak berkorban

Image via Astro Awani/Shahir Omar

Walaupun jasa ibu tidak terbalas, anak-anak akan sentiasa berusaha bersungguh-sungguh demi mencapai kejayaan dalam hidup, dengan harapan untuk membahagiakan ibu dan memberi kegembiraan kepadanya.

Namun begitu, tidak semua anak bernasib baik. Contohnya dalam kes ini di mana si ibu dilihat sangat kecewa dengan pencapaian si anak yang HANYA mendapat 4A dalam peperiksaan UPSR.

Image via www.mynewshub.cc

Mungkin bagi kebanyakan orang, keputusan 4A dalam UPSR boleh dianggap cukup memberangsangkan. Maklumlah bukan semua orang mampu untuk dapatkan keputusan cemerlang dalam peperiksaan. Tetapi tidak bagi ibu ini.Dia yang terlalu kecewa telah memuat naik satu luahan perasaan di Facebook, beserta beberapa keping gambar kertas peperiksaan anaknya. Si ibu ini menyatakan betapa kecewanya dirinya melihat anaknya hanya mendapat 4A dan mendapat nombor 7.

Menurutnya lagi, anaknya yang sebelum ini tiap-tiap tahun dapat top 3 kini tidak lagi berada dalam kelompok terbaik gara-gara "banyak main"

Si ibu rasa sangat terkilan kerana anaknya tidak lagi layak untuk naik ke pentas bagi menerima hadiah kecemerlangan.Kali ini, dia juga didapati enggan memberi apa-apa hadiah kepada anaknya sambil menganggap bahawa anaknya itu sepatutnya boleh lakukan lebih lagi.

Image via www.mynewshub.cc

Apa kata netizen? Sikap si ibu yang tidak boleh menerima hakikat ini mendapat kritikan hebat di laman sosial. Anak dapat 4A pun tak puas hati lagi?

Image via Merah Networks/Facebook

Harus diingat, UPSR bukanlah segala-galanya. Ada banyak lagi cabaran yang perlu si anak tempuhi dalam hidup untuk berjaya. Bertolak ansur lah sedikit wahai ibu.

Image via imgix.net

Kesian si anak yang telah berusaha. Mungkin bukan rezekinya untuk mendapat 5A dalam UPSR. Apa-apa pun, perjalanan masih jauh. UPSR tidak boleh dijadikan sebagai kayu pengukur bagi kejayaan seseorang. Semoga si anak terus tabah dan gandakan lagi usaha dalam mencapai kegemilangan pada masa akan datang.

Do You Text Much? Here's What Great Harm Texting All Day Is Causing To Your Spine

Hunching over your smartphone is the equivalent of placing a 60-pound of weight on your cervical spine (neck), according to a new study published in the journal Surgical Technology International

Image via Kenneth Hansraj / Surgical Technology International

Kenneth Hansraj, a New York back surgeon, found this figure using a computer model of a human spine. An average human head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds, and tilting it down to check Facebook, send a text, or to Google the weight of an a human head increases the gravitational pull on said cranium.

        theatlantic.com

That's roughly the weight of four adult-sized bowling balls. Or an 8-year-old. Or six plastic grocery bags worth of food.

Image via r29static.com

In the paper, Hansraj explains, “The weight seen by the spine dramatically increases when flexing the head forward at varying degrees. ... As the head tilts forward the forces seen by the neck surges to 27 pounds at 15 degrees, 40 pounds at 30 degrees, 49 pounds at 45 degrees and 60 pounds at 60 degrees.”

        slate.com

While the study claims that it's "nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these issues, you can always take preventative steps by looking at your phone by maintaining good posture. How? Watch this slightly over the top video:

×

The key is to keep the head in an upright position

To do this properly, start by extending the arms outward and then rotates palms toward the sky. This naturally rolls the shoulders back into a strong position. From there, the elbows can be bent inward, bringing the hands in front of your face.Finally, angle your eyes downward to look at the screen while maintaining your neck in a position as though it were looking straight ahead.This approach takes some getting used to. It’s awkward at first. But it’s better than permanent damage.

"Diarah Buka Kasut & Rendam Kaki Dalam Cecair Clorox" - Ini Kisah Perit Rakyat Filipina

Seluruh dunia kini sedang mendepani wabak Covid-19 termasuklah Malaysia

Image via Berita Harian

Namun di Malaysia, sejak pandemik wabak ini berlaku, kerajaan telah giat memberikan pelbagai bantuan kepada rakyat dalam mendepani krisis akibat wabak Covid-19.Antaranya, Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin mengumumkan Pakej Rangsangan Ekonomi Prihatin Rakyat bagi menyalurkan bantuan kepada golongan yang terjejas susulan wabak tersebut.Boleh dikatakan, rakyat Malaysia antara yang paling bertuah di dunia kerana pelbagai insentif telah diberikan oleh kerajaan semata-mata bagi memastikan setiap rakyat terbela dan mampu meneruskan hidup ketika krisis global ini.

Di Facebook, seorang majikan telah berkongsikan kisah pembantu rumahnya yang merupakan warga Filipina

Image via medcom.id

Menurut wanita bernama Nor Zabetha ini, pembantu rumahnya telah meluahkan kepadanya tentang betapa beruntungnya rakyat Malaysia mendapat kerajaan yang sangat prihatin berbanding di Filipina.Bukan itu sahaja, pembantu rumah itu turut menceritakan situasi sebenar yang berlaku terhadap rakyat di Filipina pada ketika ini yang mana jauh sekali berbeza dengan di Malaysia.Sejak ia dikongsikan, kisah tersebut telah mendapat lebih daripada 4 ribu shares di Facebook. Untuk perkongsian penuh, teruskan membaca di bawah:

Cerita pembantu rumah tersebut, di Filipina telah berlaku rusuhan kerana bantuan makanan tidak sampai kepada penduduk sejak 2 minggu selepas perintah berkurung

Image via Tribun Pontianak

Pembantu rumah saya ini orang, Filipina. Dialah jadi kawan buat bersembang. Kadang-kadang bila saya menonton perutusan atau ada apa-apa perkembangan yang dimaklumkan kerajaan, selalu saya kongsikan dengannya.Dia cakap untunglah jadi rakyat Malaysia sebab polis dan tentera masih baik kerana Presiden Filipina sudah umumkan, siapa ingkar perintah akan ditembak.Di Filipina, berlaku rusuhan kerana bantuan makanan tidak sampai kepada penduduk sejak 2 minggu selepas perintah berkurung kerana Covid-19. Mereka lapar. Mereka menunjukkan bantahan dan berkumpul sehingga tercetusnya pergaduhan.Kata Presiden Filipina, sesiapa yang ingkar arahan "Tembak mereka hingga mati, arahan saya adalah kepada polis, tentera dan pegawai di kampung. Jangan cabar kerajaan. Kau akan kalah!"Minggu lepas, mereka perlu dapatkan bekalan ubat dari kota untuk ibunya. Sumpah, suaminya tidak berani keluar untuk ambil bekalan ubat dari kota. Katanya, jika mereka menaiki pengangkutan awam, mereka perlu melalui sekatan jalan di setiap kampung sebelum sampai ke kota.Mereka akan diarahkan membuka kasut, dan merendamkan kaki dalam cecair seperti klorox di setiap sekatan jalan raya. Fuh! Tentera mereka juga, memang tegas. Tiada kompromi.Katanya lagi, kerajaan ada juga hulurkan wang bantuan kepada keluarga miskin tetapi bantuan memang tidak akan sampailah pada keluarga miskin kerana pihak atasan sudah masuk poket mereka dulu. Dia kata untunglah orang Malaysia serba serbi dapat. Dilayan baik pula oleh polis dan tentera.Filipina ini, memang miskin sehingga mereka terpaksa menjual buah pinggang untuk kelangsungan hidup. Kalau jual buah pinggang, mereka hanya dapat RM10,000 sahaja ditangan. Sepatutnya dapat lebih tinggi tetapi sudah disapu oleh agen dan suap sana sini sikit.

Dia selalu rasa orang Malaysia ini beruntung, serba-serbi ada

Image via astroawani.com

Dia paling takut kalau saya hendak keluar rumah. Disuruhnya saya berhati-hati, itu dan ini. Kalau balik rumah terus dia basuh barang-barang. Dicuci segala baju.Katanya kalau saya keluar dan apa-apa berlaku, apalah nasibnya dan Nadra nanti. Dia juga takut kalau saya bawa balik kuman, sebab Nadra masih kecil, takut berjangkit. Dia juga takut terkena, katanya orang miskin macam dia pasti tidak akan dirawat rapi dan pasti mati. Itu katanya.Dia selalu rasa orang Malaysia ini beruntung, serba-serbi ada. Di kampungnya hendak basuh baju pun perlu pam air dengan tangan. Untunglah sistem pengairan kita bagus. Serba serbi orang Malaysia cukup.Kadar kemiskinan di Malaysia tidak seperti Filipina. Mereka betul-betul miskin. Ada sekelompok mereka yang tinggal di atas kawasan kubur dan buat penempatan. Tidur di atas batu marmar kubur, memasak di situ, makan di situ.Disebabkan kemiskinan, juga dia terpaksa meninggalkan dua anaknya dan suami dan mencari kerja di Malaysia.Waktu bulan pertama dia datang dulu, saya selalu lihat matanya merah baru lepas menangis. Dia cuba sembunyikan. Dia banyak termenung. Masa mula-mula video call dengan anaknya berusia 4 tahun, merajuk anaknya melihat Nadra.Kata anaknya "Baby siapa itu? Kenapa tinggalkan saya untuk baby itu?". Menangis anak itu berlari tidak mahu cakap dengan ibunya. Berhari-hari juga anaknya merajuk, tidak mahu bercakap dengan video call.Dia selalu buat saya rasa bahawa bertuah jadi rakyat Malaysia. Dia hairan melihat kemeriahan masakan di rumah kita, tidak putus-putus lauknya, terutama hari raya dan puasa.Saya selalu bergurau dengannya, Malaysia ini orang tidak akan mati kerana tak makan tetapi selalunya mati kerana makanan (penyakit). Makanlah sebanyak mana dia hendak makan.Benarlah. Orang Malaysia amat beruntung cuma segelintir kita masih tak mahu menghargai.

Alhamdulillah... Selalu bersyukur jadi rakyat Malaysia.

Despite the police shooting three warning shots in the air, the suspect kept on driving and even made risky turns at speeds up to 75km/h.

The chase came to a halt when another lorry came to the rescue

A member of the public drove his lorry to block the suspect, finally stopping the runaway lorry.

Amongst other damages, two police cars were damaged beyond repair

"The first was part of the blockade set up at the Plentong intersection and the second was damaged when the lorry rammed into after it tried to reverse out of a dead end,” said Johor Baru (South) OCPD Asst Comm Shahurinain Jais.Thankfully, no casualties were reported at the time of writing.

Upon questioning, the suspect said he was just test driving the lorry

Investigations revealed that the suspect dropped out of school and worked with his uncle as a lorry driver assistant. The suspect has no criminal record prior to this incident.The police confirmed that there was no report on a missing vehicle by the company the lorry was registered to.

The suspect has been arrested and will be investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder and Section 25 (1) (n) of the National Registration Regulations

Hot Weather In Malaysia Is Expected To Last Until May

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

Feeling under the weather because of the hot afternoons?
It is because the country is going through a mild version of a complex weather pattern, called the La Niña phenomenon.

According to New Straits Times, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMalaysia) expects the current hot weather to last until May before subsiding in June.Based on the department's records, its director-general Muhammad Helmi Abdullah said the interior of Pahang and Klang Valley experience a slightly higher maximum temperature, with the latter having it a bit warmer.He said people in Klang Valley experience a maximum temperature between 35°C and 36°C. The average daily temperature across Malaysia is between 21°C and 32°C, noted MyGovernment portal.

With that said, the country has yet to record extreme temperatures this week

"The highest temperature recorded this year is at 36.6°C at the Chuping Meteorological Station on 29 January," Helmi said.Referring to its records, he said Chuping hit the highest all-time temperature on 9 April 1998, with a reading of 40.1°C due to the influence of the strong El Niño phenomenon.Currently, Malaysia is going through a moderate La Niña phenomenon. US National Ocean Service explained that the phenomenon is a 'cold event' where trade winds are even stronger than usual, causing warm water to be pushed toward Asia.NASA-run educational portal SciJinks said that strong winds will blow warm water at the ocean's surface from South America to Indonesia's direction during the period.

"La Niña events sometimes follow El Niño events, which occur at irregular intervals of about two to seven years," reported National Geographic, noting that El Niño is the counterpart of La Niña.

"However, the temperature varies according to the place and is influenced by the shape of the earth's surface," Helmi continued

"The maximum temperature recorded in Chuping over the past week is around 34°C to 35°C."He then advised citizens to take care of their health during this period, especially people who often work outdoors."For those who often work outside, be careful if the weather is too hot. The risks from a high temperature or heatwave include dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke, which can worsen a person's health condition," he cautioned.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation said that Malaysia will experience 'zero shadow' day this week:

                Malaysians Will Be Able To Experience 'Zero Shadow Day' This Week

With no shadows, everything looks like a bad CGI game. So trippy.

8 Common Traits Every Powerhouse Woman Has That Sets Them Apart

1. She is deeply passionate about what she does

Image via Pretty52

As dancer Twyla Tharp once wrote, "Without passion, all the skill in the world won't lift you above craft." A successful woman knows that having a deep connection to her work is a powerful motivator to go beyond expectations and to create more meaningful, effective results.

2. She recognises that her time and energy are very valuable resources

Image via Kadin&Kadin.net

Work is important, but so are her friends and family. She knows how to set her priorities in juggling both her career and personal life. She also knows that there is only so many things she can say 'yes' to; there are times when one has to know when to say 'no' and honestly mean it.

3. She sets realistic goals in favour of her strengths and conceives practical plans to see them come to life

Image via Anna Akana's YouTube

4. She accepts that the fear of failure and regret is inescapable, yet she is willing to step out of her comfort zone and take risks

Image via Complex

It's only natural that her dreams scare her because they are bigger than what she imagined. Plus, the reward is bound to taste sweeter with a little risk thrown in!

5. She knows her worth and how she deserves to be treated

Image via BMW

A woman should never settle for less than what they deserve, whether it's in matters of the heart or the things they desire. If she has her eye on the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, you can bet she'll be driving that up to her first date. You won't have to pick her up.

6. She understands the importance of keeping up her friendships and forming new ones

Image via tumblr.com

The key to having meaningful successes is having a support network that she can rely on. Female entertainers, artists, and actresses always talk about how inspired they get from meeting and talking to people who are nothing like them.

7. She is always on the lookout for new knowledge to improve herself

Image via Warner Bros. Television Distribution

She reads, asks questions, and readily accepts constructive criticism because she knows that there is always something to learn from others.

8. She is a leader in her own right, maybe even a boss who sets her own rules. Yet, she does not hesitate to be a mentor to those who are coming up behind her.

Image via NBC

A successful woman does not believe in following the crowd, she can think and speak for herself. She also recognises that sharing her wisdom and experience with her support team is essential contribution to their growth and success as well.


[NEW UPDATE] Altantuya Case: Is Putrajaya Deliberately Delaying The Murder Appeal?

Karpal Singh says Putrajaya is delaying the Altantuya murder appeal

Karpal Singh says Putrajaya is delaying the Altantuya murder appeal

Image via imgur.com

Putrajaya appears to be dragging its feet on the appeal against the acquittal of two former police commandos for the high profile murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu, said veteran lawyer Karpal Singh.

        yahoo.com

He said the Attorney General's Chambers can file its petition of appeal and state reasons why the Court of Appeal was wrong when it acquitted the two policemen based on the written grounds of the judgment.

        yahoo.com

"They can expedite the appeal process to the Federal Court even without having the entire records of appeal," Karpal told The Malaysian Insider in Kuala Lumpur. The lawyer is holding a watching brief for his client, Setev Shaariibuu, the father of Altantuya.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Karpal said he feared that the appeal would be further delayed if for some reason the policemen did not turn up for the proceedings. "The criminal appeal cannot proceed without the presence of the respondents," he said.

        yahoo.com

Karpal said he was concerned as his client, Setev Shaariibuu, had filed a RM100-million suit against Abdul Razak, Azilah, Sirul and the government over his daughter’s death. "It has already been six years after the suit was filed but Setev's case cannot be heard unless this criminal trial is over and done with,"

A three member bench led by Datuk Seri Mohamed Apandi Ali allowed the appeal in the Court of Appeal here this morning.

Betul Ke 'Antiperspirant' dan Deodoran Punca Kanser Payudara? Ini Fakta Wanita Wajib Tahu

Semua orang mempunyai bau mereka sendiri dan boleh dianggap sebagai ciri penting individu. Bagaimanapun, apabila melibatkan bau, ia boleh menjengkelkan.

Image via thrfun.com

Oleh itu, mencari pencegahan dan rawatan adalah perlu. Antipeluh (antiperspirant) dan deodoran telah digunakan secara meluas bagi menyelesaikan masalah bau badan.Kita mungkin bernasib baik kerana adanya produk untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini. Namun, ia juga didakwa penyebab beberapa penyakit serius seperti kanser payudara.

Apa itu antiperspirant dan deodoran?

Antiperspirant adalah produk kebersihan peribadi yang mengandungi agen kimia untuk mengurangkan peluh atau perpeluhan dengan berkesan. Anda boleh mencari antiperspirant di mana-mana pasaran sebagai semburan, krim, roll-on atau stik.Apabila digunakan pada permukaan kulit, ramuan aktif antiperspirant pada awalnya akan menghalang peluh mencapai permukaan kulit. Kemudian ia akan mengurangkan bakteria yang menyebabkan bau badan.

Image via vashtie.com

Sama seperti antiperspirant, deodoran adalah bahan yang digunakan untuk mengawal dan menghilangkan bau badan yang tidak menyenangkan.Dengan wangian yang merupakan bahan antiperspirant, deodoran mengandungi bahan-bahan yang membantu menyembunyikan bau badan yang dihasilkan oleh bakteria bau. Walau bagaimanapun, produk ini tidak dapat mencegah berpeluh di permukaan kulit.

Image via bhn.net.au

Kedua-dua produk ini digunakan untuk permukaan kulit yang biasanya menghasilkan bau yang tidak baik seperti ketiak. Antiperspirant dan deodoran juga boleh digunakan di bahagian badan lain yang cenderung berpeluh secara berlebihan.Produk ini cenderung untuk hilang apabila dibasuh selepas mandi. Anda perlu memakai semula antiperspirant atau deodoran selepas berada dalam mod aktiviti tinggi.

Adakah penggunaan antiperspirant menyebabkan kanser payudara?

Baru-baru ini, beberapa teori telah mendakwa hubungan menggunakan antiperspirant dengan beberapa penyakit maut termasuk kanser payudara. Teori-teori ini berdasarkan pada fakta bahawa kebanyakan kanser payudara akan berkembang di kawasan bawah ketiak. Dan antiperspirant kebanyakannya digunakan untuk ketiak supaya ia boleh memberi kesan bahagian luar atas payudara ini juga.

Image via blogspot.com

Di samping itu, bahan-bahan aktif rumusan antiperspirant terutamanya termasuk metallic salts aluminum chloride dan aluminum chloral hydrate. Bahan kimia ini apabila menyerap ke kulit, ia boleh berinteraksi dengan gen manusia dan akhirnya menimbulkan ancaman kanser dalam sel. Bahan kimia ini juga boleh mengganggu proses fungsi hormon wanita yang dinamakan estrogen yang akhirnya akan meningkatkan pertumbuhan sel-sel kanser payudara.

Image via ytimg.com

Walau bagaimanapun, seorang pakar dari Persatuan Kanser Amerika telah meyakinkan bahawa teori-teori ini tidak mempunyai bukti yang meyakinkan dan kekurangan sumber-sumber yang boleh dipercayai

Sehingga kini, tiada laporan terbukti mengenai antiperspirant yang menyebabkan risiko penyakit seperti kanser payudara atau masalah kesihatan lain. Memang ada beberapa bahan dalam antiperspirant yang menyebabkan masalah payudara, tetapi bahan kimia ini tidak menyebabkan kesan berbahaya yang membawa kepada kanser payudara.

Kita harus tahu bahawa kanser payudara adalah penyakit maut dan bukan hanya dapat dikesan oleh satu penyebab tunggal seperti penggunaan produk anti-bau

Image via plaidforwomen.com

Sebagai kesimpulan, setiap produk mempunyai kelebihannya, tetapi disarankan untuk memilih yang mengandungi bahan-bahan semula jadi.Disebabkan potensi risiko aluminium yang menyebabkan penyakit maut, anda juga harus mengelakkan produk yang mengandungi agen ini.Mencipta bau badan yang baik harus disertai dengan keselamatan.
