"Endure The Unendurable" - Ashraf Sinclair's Dad Pens Emotional Post About Son's Passing

It has been two weeks since Malaysians were left in shock following Ashraf Sinclair's sudden death.
But nothing can compare to what his friends and family must be going through.

In a heartfelt post titled 'On Loss - A Father's Perspective', Ashraf's father revealed how he has been coping with his son's death.

Ashraf and his parents.
Image via Instagram @dida_sinclair

When asked how he felt, Mohamed Anthony John Sinclair - also known as Pak Mat -  shared that he didn't have the words to adequately describe his feelings. "I actually have to stop for a while and look inwards to answer that. Numb, mainly. I can operate on a day-to-day basis, but much of the colour of my life is missing," he wrote.His Facebook post has been shared over 6,100 times since it was uploaded on 1 March.

Upon recognising the loss of his son, Pak Mat shared that someone had sent him a touching email despite not knowing Ashraf or his wife Bunga

"Thank you sir. I am deeply touched by his gesture, and the gestures of so many others. I tried to reply to all the messages of condolence that flooded in," he wrote. The father also admitted that loss and sorrow often sweep over him, sometimes in small amounts when he can blink back the tears and other times it leaves him sobbing in his hands."If it is like that for me, then how can it be for Bunga, amazing and strong lady that she is, and nine-year-old Noah?"

He admitted that it's not so much about 'why' it happened but more of feeling helplessness for those around him – and for his son

"... [Helpless] to alleviate the pain of others, helpless in not being able to turn the clock back, or even to be able to offer myself in exchange for his life, as any parent would do, without a thought and in a heartbeat."

Image via Instagram @ashrafsinclair

He concluded his post by addressing his son:"My dearest Ashraf, you have gone so suddenly from our lives, and we, as friends and family, struggle to make sense of it. Though we mourn for you, you are now beyond us, gone before as the expression puts it.""You are where you are and, apart from praying for you, there is little we can do, other than endure the unendurable…until, over time, it becomes easier and we can, with a wistful smile, look back at our memories of all that you were, whilst giving thanks for all that you brought into our lives over your, all too short, 40 years.""God bless you Ashraf and thank you for everything!"

Our deepest condolences go out to Ashraf's family and friends

We Tried This Malaysian-Made Ice Mould That Makes Aesthetic Ice Cubes Minus The Cloudiness

Diluted drinks are annoying. Imagine making or ordering your favourite drink and realising, "Oh. The ice has melted and it tastes like water now."

Yuck.

Image via GIPHY

We recently came across this Malaysian startup that created a  way for people to make transparent ice cubes that melt slower.
As always, I was curious to see how it works.

Image via SAYS

It usually takes a lot of effort to make crystal clear ice cubes. You need to use distilled water and boil it until the bubbles come out and blah blah who even has the time for that?Regular ice cubes that come out of the freezer are usually cloudy or bubbly. Plus, something called 'freezer burn' affects the taste of the drink, making it not as crisp or sharp tasting.

It's also been proven that clear ice melts slower and lasts longer because it doesn't have the impurities that typically cause ice cubes to melt quickly, leaving you with a diluted drink in minutes

Image via SAYS

To reduce all of that, a local startup called Clear As Ice made this ice mould.
Here's how it works.

It comes in three parts: a black tray, container, and an insulation box.

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

HOW TO USEStart off by filling the container with drinking water until it's 2/3 full and place it into the insulation box. Next, lower the tray into the container until it fits snugly and continue by filling the tray with water as well.There's a small indicated line at the top of the tray. Fill it until it touches the line and freeze it for 18 to 20 hours.

Once it's done, remove it from the freezer and insulation box, then leave it for four to five minutes. This step is important because it makes it easier to remove the ice and prevent cracking.

Image via SAYS

If you find that it's hard to remove it from the insulation box, just flip it upside down and the weight of the ice cubes should push it out.

Image via SAYS

Next, remove the tray from the container. It might help to gently knock all sides against a countertop or tabletop to remove it.

To help remove any excess ice at the bottom, I found that running it under tap water or just knocking it off with a spoon will do the trick. The actual ice cubes are inside the tray.

Excess ice can be removed by running it under water.
Image via SAYS

If you've left the tray in the freezer for longer than the recommended hours, just leave it out to 'thaw' a little longer or run it under tap water to loosen it up.Some things to take note of:- How long you freeze it for really depends on your freezer's temperature. The first time, it came out perfectly. But during our second round, we tried to remove it before the recommended time and it wasn't fully frozen yet.- Try to avoid any movement of the ice mould so it can freeze properly.

Push out each compartment and you'll end up with these beautiful crystal clear ice cubes!

Image via SAYS

Ours came out with minimal bubbles, which can easily be removed if you gently tap the sides of the container before freezing it. This can help knock out any trapped bubbles. But honestly, once we put it into the drink, it looked completely clear.

Image via SAYS

Clear As Ice states that you can enjoy up to three standard drinks consecutively with minimal dilution.To test this out, we left the ice cube in a drink and after 45 minutes, it was still there with little melting.

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

The Clear Ice Cube Maker costs RM119 in total.

If you're asking why would I need a fancy ice mould at home if I already have a regular ice tray? This was a question I also asked myself when testing it out.

Image via SAYS

It makes a great gift for anyone who appreciates making drinks at home or serving guests.Aside from the fact that the drinks didn't dilute as quickly, it did make my whiskey taste smoother overall. It's definitely a nice 'luxury' item for alcohol lovers. Of course, you can use the ice for any drink your heart desires, be it coffee, smoothie, tea, juice, and etc.TL;DR: Should I buy it? Yes, if you or someone you know appreciates a good glass of alcohol, or who loves making drinks like coffee and tea, or even for someone who enjoys spoiling their guests.You can find out more info here.

Donating Food, Providing Laptops & More — Here's How Sunway Rose To The Occasion In 2021

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Sunway.

Although the past year has been difficult for many Malaysians, particularly B40 families and those hit by the flood disasters, Sunway has risen to the occasion to help the rakyat in every way possible

Throughout 2021, Sunway has sprung into action to reach out and provide different kinds of aid to more than 70,000 Malaysians through reputable NGOs and corporate partners such as Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRC), Selangor Youth Community (SAY), DHRRA Malaysia, Naweem, and FFM Berhad.Plus, knowing how many Malaysians could not return home to celebrate Chinese New Year and Hari Raya due to surging COVID-19 cases earlier this year, Sunway made a heartwarming gesture of bringing the festive cheer to Malaysians at home.That's not all. Sunway continues to live up to its #SunwayForGood initiatives that are aligned with the brand's commitment to three areas — education, healthcare, and community enrichment — as well as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

This heartfelt video showcases some of the things Sunway has done through their #SunwayForGood initiatives. Watch it below:

Here's a closer look at how Sunway has been making an impact in 2021:

1. Helping out in the recent flood disasters across the country

Image via Sunway (Provided to SAYS)

Amidst the rising COVID-19 cases in January, several areas in the east coast were hit by torrential monsoon rains, causing severe flash floods that were touted as the worst flooding in the past 50 years. Noticing how badly the east coast areas were affected, Sunway swiftly brought together their hotels, shopping malls, pharmacies, and more under the #SunwayForGood intiative to provide several non-governmental organisations in in the east coast with aid worth over RM100,000.Additionally, upon hearing news about the flood disaster in Klang and Shah Alam on 18 December, Sunway Putra Hotel and Sunway Pyramid immediately provided flood assistance together with Malaysia Red Crescent and Selangor Youth Community. Sunway Putra Hotel packed and delivered 200 meals to Taman Kemuning Utama, Shah Alam by 9.30pm, while Sunway Pyramid provided 450 meals to victims in Batu Tiga, Shah Alam by 11pm. Over the next few days, Sunway continuously worked with many corporations to provide aid to flood victims throughout Klang Valley.

Image via @sunwayputrahotel (Instagram)

Here are some of the things they have done so far:- Sunway Medical's Telemedicine Command Centre assigned medical personnel to victims' homes to provide nursing assistance and give out 2,000 bottles of hand sanitiser- Sunway Medical arranged for an ambulance to pick up and send a bedridden elderly stranded at SK Seri Muda to PPUM- Sunway Medical Centre sent medical personnel to conduct COVID-19 swab tests for 1,000 flood victims- Sunway Pyramid, MarryBrown, SUPER Coffee, Nestlé Malaysia, and FFM Berhad donated food items to victims. This included 500 burgers to frontliners, 4,000 Massimo buns, 2,400 units of Marina Sardine, 2,400 units of Marina Tuna 185g, 200 cartons of MILO, and more.- Sunway Pyramid also delivered 200 packed meals to victims in Batu Tiga, Shah Alam, and another 200 in Banting- Sunway Pharma donated 500 standard testing kits and 70 boxes of face masks- Sunway Putra Hotel also prepared 900 packs of nasi goreng for those stranded in Shah Alam and Bukit Changgang- Sunway Lagoon provided 1,200 towels, t-shirts, and umbrellas, on top of 400 packed lunches for frontliners and flood victims- Sunway University opened The Waterfront Residence to staff, students, and families affected by the flood- Together with their volunteers, Sunway Lost World of Tambun and Sunway City Ipoh Property headed to Teluk Intan to donate cleaning tools such as water hoses, brushes, and brooms, and also assisted to clean 30 homes that were ravaged by the flood- Working with MRC, Sunway sent cleaning items to Mentakab, Pahang in January 2022- Sunway also sent essential hygiene products and groceries to evacuation centres in Johor

2. Spreading joy and festive cheer to orphans, old folks, and the homeless through their #SunwayForGood initiative

Image via Sunway (Provided to SAYS)

In their effort to promote inclusivity and embrace Malaysian diversity, Sunway celebrated all the festive seasons in muhibbah spirit under its #SunwayForGood umbrella. On top of contributing seven laptops and one year's worth of WiFi to children's homes in Perak, Sunway also donated lunches, vitamin C, hand sanitisers, ang pows, festive cookies, as well as school bags to them during Chinese New Year. During Hari Raya, Sunway reached out to 30,000 Malaysians in orphanages, masjids, suraus, old folks homes, homeless shelters, a hospital, and a women's prison to extend the Raya festive cheer. From giving out packed meals and bubur lambuk to groceries and essentials, Sunway truly embraced the spirit of Ramadan and Raya. And that's not all. Sunway brought hope to B40 families during Deepavali by providing close to 30,000kg of essential groceries and food worth more than RM170,000 to a total of 863 families for three consecutive months.

3. Sunway turns their Hari Kebangsaan advertising budget into funds to help the B40 community

Image via Sunway (Provided to SAYS)

In conjunction with Hari Kebangsaan and Malaysia Day, Sunway used their advertising funds to donate more than 25,000kg of food to 2,100 B40 families across Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Perak, Penang, and Johor. This was done by working closely with the Development of Human Resources for Rural Areas (DHRRA) to identify around 1,000 B40 families in need in Selangor and Perak, and then delivering groceries and basic necessities directly to them. Meanwhile, in Penang and Johor, Sunway collaborated with Kechara Soup Kitchen and Malaysian Red Crescent to provide food aid to hundreds of B40 families below the poverty line. The essential provisions that were delivered to those in need included rice, salt, condensed milk, sugar, oil, canned food, and packs of coffee provided by SUPER Coffee.

These are just a few examples of how Sunway has been doing good under the #SunwayForGood umbrella.
Throughout the past year, Sunway has also taken the lead in vaccination programmes, helped out B40 families, and more, with no signs of slowing down.

Image via Sunway (Provided to SAYS)

In fact, as their 50th anniversary celebration approaches, Sunway has embarked on a mission to fulfil four pledges by 2024.Check out the four pledges: - Build and refurbish at least 50 libraries through the Sunway READ programme- Pack a total of one million meals for undernourished communities- Set up 50 urban farms for 50 orphanages- Together with the National Kidney Foundation, provide basic health screening for 50 Orang Asli communitiesThrough their #SunwayForGood initiative, Sunway wants to continue promoting the importance of sustainability and conducting social responsibility efforts in order to build a more equitable and resilient Malaysia. Putting it simply, Sunway has truly embraced the #kitajagakita spirit.

Dr M Claims Financial Aid Distributed To Rakyat Comes From Recovered Stolen Funds

After the royal address in Dewan Rakyat yesterday, 18 May, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad held a press conference to criticise the Perikatan Nasional government on a number of issues

During a 30-minute session with the media, he alleged that the PN government has overpromised the RM230 billion economic stimulus package, where a large portion will be paid out to the rakyat and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) owners as COVID-19 pandemic relief funds"The allocation is so huge. But from what we heard, the money has yet to be distributed to the eligible recipients," said Dr Mahathir."In fact, the fund is not coming from the government but other sources, and when they get to recover what had been stolen, then they will use the money to distribute (the financial aids)."SAYS previously reported that Malaysians were concerned about receiving their Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) payouts due to a delay in the application approval process.

Dr Mahathir made the claim after referring to the recent case of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's stepson Riza Aziz being granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) in his money laundering trial

Prior to this, Riza, who allegedly used stolen funds to finance blockbuster movies in Hollywood, was facing five counts of money laundering involving USD248 million (RM1.08 billion) linked to 1MDB funds.However, he was granted a DNAA last Thursday, 14 May, which allows him to walk free from his crimes as long as he pays back the alleged stolen funds.Dr Mahathir claimed that Riza had struck a deal with the PN government to return the stolen funds without punishment, something which is against what Pakatan Harapan set out to do."But now we see that if someone swindles over RM1 billion, then agrees to return some RM400 million, which is not even half of the amount, they can get away," Malaysiakini quoted him as saying."If this is the new policy for Malaysia, then all thieves can steal. And when they do it, they can be sure to enjoy half of the money while the other half can be returned to the government so they won't get punished."Dr Mahathir quipped that thieves are now lining up outside the courts to seek a similar settlement.

As of today, 19 May, Putrajaya managed to recover RM600,000 from Riza

According to New Straits Times, the government expects "a substantial sum amounting to millions of ringgit" will soon follow.On 14 April, the US Justice Department returned USD300 million (RM1.3 billion) in stolen funds linked to 1MDB.

11 Of The Internet’s Favourite Memes That Are 10 Years Old In 2020

2020 has been crazy so far, we can't help but look back at what happened ten years ago

2010 birthed multiple viral sensations, such as the release of Justin Bieber's iconic song 'Baby'.

Image via GIPHY

However, the funniest viral online phenomenon of 2010 has got to be the memes that took the Internet by storm

From Keanu Reeves being sad to people feeling forever alone, the memes definitely made 2010 a little brighter.

1. Sad Keanu

Image via The Blemish

This meme originated after a paparazzi photograph of Keanu Reeves enjoying a sandwich by himself on a park bench went viral. Ever since then, sad Keanu has been photoshopped in various settings, including on a roller coaster and even next to Donald Trump.

Image via Know Your Meme

Image via Saying Images

Poor Keanu, he just wanted to enjoy his sandwich in peace. :')

2. Wojak/Feels Guy

Image via S4S Fandom

Wojak, also known as the Feels Guy, is a Microsoft paint illustration of a bald man with a sad expression on his face. Something hit you in the feels? Then this is the meme for you.

Image via Know Your Meme

Image via Me.Me

Feels.

3. Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife

Image via Tenor

Antoine Dodson became popular after being interviewed about a man who broke into the Dodson's home in an attempt to assault one of his sisters in bed.After the interview went viral in mid-2010, an autotuned remix of it was widely circulated online, garnering more than 145 million views over the next decade.According to a CBS interview, the song was so catchy that it was brought onto iTunes, where its proceeds were enough to get Dodson and his family into a safer neighbourhood. The power of memes!

Here's how Dodson looks like, almost 10 years later!

4. X, X Everywhere

Image via Imgflip

Here's a fun fact, this X, X Everywhere meme has nothing to do with the original dialogue in Toy Story 2. This meme can be used for literally anything. Like when you open one of the cupboards in the kitchen:

Or when you're explaining what's on the Internet to a boomer:

5. Forever Alone

All you single people out there are probably far too familiar with this meme.

The Internet went to town after a photograph of Leonardo DiCaprio walking merrily towards the camera while on the set of the 2010 science fiction film 'Inception' went viral.Just like Sad Keanu, Strutting Leo has been Photoshopped into every situation imaginable, but we're not complaining because the pictures are hilarious.

7. Condescending Wonka

Image via Useless Etymology

The Condescending Wonka meme comes from a screenshot of the 1971 musical film 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'. It's frequently used to call people out on all of their bullsh*t, or simply just to insult others.Like when customers try to teach you how to do your job:

Image via Complex

Or when your co-worker won't stop complaining about their Monday blues:

Image via Runt of the Web

8. Y U No

You know this meme is old when it uses SMS language. The Y U No meme is used to show anger and exasperation about things that secretly enrage people. It's not grammatically correct, but everyone just gets it.Like when someone didn't text you back even though they're online:

Image via We Heart It

Or when you're a fresh grad but jobs are still asking for working experience:

Image via Me.Me

9. Lie Down; Try Not To Cry; Cry A Lot

Image via Know Your Meme

Originally, this meme was a parody of a workout poster to depict the pain that comes with exercising.

Image via Know Your Meme

However, it later evolved into a way of expressing humorously exaggerated sadness.Like when you realise you're a failure in life:

Image via Know Your Meme

10. Shut Up And Take My Money

Image via Pinterest

"Shut up and take my money!", the perfect catchphrase to use when you want to express enthusiastic approval towards a product or an idea.Like a device to stop people from talking:

Image via Me.Me

Pusheen, the cute grey tabby cat, originated from a 2010 animated webcomic series. With it’s extremely adorable face and chubby body, there’s no question why it went viral.

A New Rakyat E-Wallet System Is Currently Being Tested By The Government

Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said that the government is currently testing a new e-wallet system and software for citizens

Called e-Tunai Rakyat, Lim explained that the system is in line with the government's plan to give out a one-off RM30 credit to eligible Malaysian e-wallet users in order to encourage citizens to go cashless.The RM30 credit will be distributed to Malaysians aged 18 years and above who have an annual income of less than RM100,000 and it can be redeemed and used for a two-month period, beginning 1 January 2020 and expiring on 29 February 2020.According to a report by Malay Mail, the government is collaborating with e-wallet providers and government agencies to carry out this scheme which is expected to benefit 15 million Malaysians.

Lim added that the Ministry will consider repeating the initiative and increasing the credit amount if it has been fully claimed

“Khazanah Nasional Bhd will be making an announcement on the participating e-wallet providers, and if the allocation is fully claimed for and has successfully boosted spending, the ministry will consider increasing the amount."If it is well received, the initiative can be repeated to involve more users, merchants, and e-wallet providers," the Finance Minister told the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, 5 December.

With the introduction of e-Tunai Rakyat, the government hopes that the public, small businesses, and retail stores will feel encouraged to accept and use digital payments

"The only thing that is required is an e-wallet account with verified identification by selected service providers," Lim said, as quoted by Malay Mail.The government has also allocated RM450 million for this initiative, which will be facilitated by Khazanah Nasional.As reported by Malay Mail, this scheme was part of a RM50.3 billion allocation to drive Malaysia towards an entrepreneurial nation, which includes the transition to a digital economy.Lim added that RM28.7 billion has been assigned to multiple digitalisation incentives, which includes the e-Tunai Rakyat as well as guarantees and financial aid for entrepreneurs, small and medium businesses, and Malaysian companies.

BlackBerry's "All Business Phone" Passport And What It Tells Us About The Company's Future

According to reports, BlackBerry is soon expected to release the Passport, a new model of smartphone that fuses the company's signature QWERTY keyboard, slimmed to three rows and strictly alphabetical, with an unusual 4.5-inch square display

Image via n4bb.com

BlackBerry's first flagship in over a year, the Passport will come with a number of unique features, and as the company claims, it "reinvents the mobile keyboard," and also acts as a trackpad

Image via foolcdn.com

The device has been called a “phablet,” the term for a tablet-like smartphone, though it is comparatively squat. It’s best suited for the inside pocket of a jacket. Which is exactly the point. The Waterloo, Canada-based company hopes that its device will be used by the enterprise customers it lost in recent years as it failed to keep pace with rivals like Apple and Google. BlackBerry hopes that government, finance, and health care workers find the device’s unorthodox dimensions ideal for their work.

        fortune.com

“It’s great to see BlackBerry step outside of its comfort zone and forge its own path in terms of design,” says Ramon Llamas, an analyst for the market research firm IDC. “Passport won’t get confused with previous BlackBerry models like the Bold and Q10, and the large screen keeps BlackBerry in pace with the competition.”

        nasdaq.com

Going by the looks, it's easy to think the Passport's boxy design is just to differentiate itself from the masses of iPhones and Android phones on the market. However, there's a catch.

The device features a 4.5-inch square screen with a 1,400 x 1,400 pixel display, and a recent partnership with Amazon.com ensures a ton of Android apps will run on the device.

        nasdaq.com

But at the heart of the Passport is BlackBerry's attempt to lure back its core customer base, which has always been the enterprise sector. The display size offers a wider view of documents and the large physical Qwerty keyboard allows for easy typing. Even the Passport's name evokes a business persona. And that's a good thing. Chen has said that 80% of the company's mobile subscribers are business users.

        modernreaders.com

With a pixel density of 435ppi, a brilliant Snapdragon MSM8974 processor under the hood and all manner of bells and whistles besides, the Passport ticks all the right boxes

Image via mobilesyrup.com

The Passport has a stainless steel frame with a matte backing, a 4.5-inch 1440×1440 pixel LCD display, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB RAM, a 13MP camera, 2MP front-facing camera, a non-removable 3450 mAh battery, and will come pre-loaded with the Amazon Appstore running OS 10.3.0.675.

        mobilesyrup.com

Though the Passport could prove to be a smart move in winning back enterprise users, or at least holding on to current ones, we have to be realistic about BlackBerry's current position

Just last week IDC released its latest smartphone vendor data, and BlackBerry's struggling even more than before. In Q2 2013, the company had 2.8% worldwide smartphone market share. But in Q2 2014 that fell to just 0.5%.

        nasdaq.com

The company can't continue to experience drops like this in the worldwide market, battle Apple in the enterprise sector, and still have a fighting chance in selling lots of mobile handsets. So while the Passport shows BlackBerry is committed to its future with business users, we'll have to wait until the device launches next month to see if the feeling's mutual.

        nasdaq.com

Meanwhile, BlackBerry's CEO Chen has never predicated his turnaround strategy on a massive revival of smartphone sales

Image via tweaktown.com

Instead he worked to turn BlackBerry Messenger, an application that continues to be a point of differentiation for the company thanks to industry-leading security and encryption for wireless text and e-mail communications, into a significant source of revenue by signing licensing deals with Android and Apple.

        fortune.com

Further, BlackBerry’s QNX software division—named for the operating system it acquired in 2010—is developing new technologies for the automotive and cloud-services industries. “Chen is opening BlackBerry to more ecosystem partners, which in turn adds value to the BlackBerry solution,” Llamas says.

        nasdaq.com

But that doesn’t mean Chen wouldn’t like to see BlackBerry smartphones take a new lease on life—especially now that profit margins have been greatly improved by his decision to outsource manufacturing to Taiwan’s Foxconn Technology Group.

        fortune.com

“What BlackBerry needs to do is focus the value proposition they offer to enterprise as well as their renowned security capabilities,” Lam says. “They need to win in offering the better solution to Fortune 500 companies. The hardware innovations are just the icing on the cake.” Still, how sweet it would be.

The Ultimate Guide To The Best Beef Noodles In Malaysia

The humble beef noodle. The ever so flavourful broth, topped with succulent chunks of beef slices over a generous bowl of noodles. It's enough to make you salivate.

Where can one find the BEST beef noodles in the country? We got you covered...

1. Yang Kee Famous Homemade Beef Noodles @ Sea Park, Petaling Jaya

Image via wordpress.com

Yang Kee Famous Beef Ball noodles, deserves its fine reputation as a hawker stall that serves some of the tastiest beef ball noodles in town. As we haven’t interviewed the owner, we weren’t sure if his stall is related to the one on Peel Road or OUG Garden. Nevertheless, this has got to be our favourite Beef Ball noodle shop in Petaling Jaya.

        ccfoodtravel.com

Try to envision soft, tender, braise sirloin with just enough cartilage and wobbly bits to make you go oooo.. and served up in a thick, dark, starchy beef sauce that’s rich with radish and beef stock flavour. We like to shovel this down with a hot bowl of rice, and loads of chili sauce. Oh pretty awesome stuff.

        ccfoodtravel.com

Image via wordpress.com

Yang Kee Famous Homemade Beef Noodles is located at Jalan 21/11A, Seapark, Petaling Jaya, Petaling Jaya (North), 46300

2. Tangkak Beef Noodles @ Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur

Image via flickr.com

If you haven’t tried beef tripe before you are missing out on something delicious here. It is soft and chewy with a slight crunch on the outside. And honestly I felt it is more enjoyable than the jelly-like-tendon, which tend to get old when you had too much.

        vkeong.com

The broth is good too, no question about that because I dried the bowl lol. And although cooked using 10 types of Chinese herbs, the herbal taste is minimal with the beef flavor being the prime attention. I didn’t feel thirsty at all after the meal so the use of MSG should be as little as it gets.

        vkeong.com

Image via flickr.com

Restoran Tangkak Beef Noodles is located at No. 133, G-Floor, Jalan Imbi 55100 Kuala Lumpur

3. Lai Foong Beef Noodle @ Jalan Tun H.S Lee, Kuala Lumpur

Image via flickr.com

The chilli sauce is fiery spicy as you could see from the huge amount of chilli seeds present even in one small serving. I was hoping that the chilli sauce could give some zing or kick to the noodles but then they just don’t go well together, which is kind of weird. Luckily the soup was a saving grace, it was tasty and had an appetizing flavor derived from the pickled vegetable. RM8 for the noodle inclusive of the soup with added beef balls.

        vkeong.com

Lai Foong Restaurant on Jalan Tun HS Lee near Petaling Street, in Kuala Lumpur, is a popular stall for beef noodles. In addition to herb stock and chopped preserved vegetables, the flavourful noodle dish is served with a choice of tender beef slices, tendons, tripe or beef balls, all of which are daily made. The soup itself is cooked for a long time over a low fire the night before.

        thestar.com.my

Lai Foong Beef Noodle is located at 138, Jalan Tun H.S.Lee, Kuala Lumpur

4. Soong Kee Beef Noodles @ Jalan Silang, Kuala Lumpur

Image via flickr.com

Not only is the food affordable here, it is bloody awesome. Everybody should try the dry noodle version, especially the Ngou chap (beef offal) with beef balls on the side. Why I say this is because the Dry noodles comes with this terrifically greasy and tasty trademark Yuk-Soey(mince meat) on top of it – see the black, glistening mince? That is the pork mince that give this bowl of mee its kick!

        ccfoodtravel.com

Not far from Lai Foong is another notable stall on Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin, the Soong Kee Beef Noodles, which has been around for the past 60-odd years and is still serving its signature beef noodles, with its bouncy firm and dense beef balls.Served with a piquant spicy and sour chilli dip, it is also served as Hakka-style dry noodles, which is topped with minced meat.

        thestar.com.my

Soong Kee Beef Ball Noodles is located at 3 Jalan Silang, Kuala Lumpur

5. Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap @ Taman Hilltop, Kota Kinabalu

Image via blogspot.com

Ngiu Chap is the Chinese Hakka pronunciation for Beef Noodle, something similar to Bakso but a typical bowl of Ngiu Chap comes with the “spare parts” or the beef offal, meat and meat ball. For those who are not a fancy of “spare parts” can always ask for meat and meat ball only with the thick beef broth. Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap (家乡牛什) at Hilltop’s Kolam Centre here definitely is the most famous among others, if not the best.

        foodiotkk.com

Image via blogspot.com

What I liked was the smooth-tasting beef broth, although the piece of radish that came with it was not soft enough. Maybe that’s how people like it in Sabah.What made my experience at Kah Hiong memorable was the liquid lava-hot chilli sauce. It was so hot that sweat was streaming down my face.

        thestar.com.my

Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap is located at Block A Shop, No. 2-0-10 Kolam Centre Phase 2, Ground Floor, Jalan Lintas, Kolam Centre, Luyang, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.

6. Kota Baru Beef Noodles (Lim Siong Kee) @ Jalan Hamzah, Kota Bharu

Image via eats.my

I simply love the quality of the food served here. The ox stripe was tender and the beef balls, crunchy. As for the chilli sauce, well, it scores full marks. Customers are bound to ask for extra helpings as it is really hot and tangy.

On Easter day 2013, we went to Jalan Hamzah, Kota Bharu for Kelantan's best beef noodle. I do like the dish and the sauce is really good. Spicy and leaves a feel-good sensation.

Unlike most beef noodles outlets, you don’t get radish, or even salted vegetables in the beefy soup. Instead, only the most basic combination of chopped spring onions, and coriander as well as a dash of pepper to complement the already piping hot and flavourful broth punctuated with a robust beefy taste. Maybe you can consider adding the tripe into the ensemble, but I stick to the bouncy balls and tender slices of beef for the best experience.

        j2kfm.com

Meat is very fresh and tender, thinly sliced and cooked less than 1 min. The soup is very light but with strong beef aroma, especially when it's tasted. I'm generally not a rice noodle person, but the noodle is really well cooked with firm texture. The minced meat with soya sauce adds salty taste and extra beef aroma to the dish.

The stall's hakka-style beef noodles (ngau lam meen, or simply Buntong beef noodles) is made of egg noodles, topped with minced meat and served with a bowl of beef balls, tendons, meat slices and a special beef ball made from a mixture of tendons, meat and yam bean. The stock it is served in has been tended to for more than five hours over the fire and is also filled with different cuts of meat and red dates until it acquires its signature robust beefy taste.

The dark sauce was so rich, must be the infused Johor famous dark carmelised sauce, tasted splendidly anc complimented the bowl of noodle perfectly. Sipping through the spongy and smooth “Lai Fun” strands make the noodle so enjoyable and pleasantly to eat. The beef topping tasted awesomely delicious. As for now I just can’t wait for my next trip to Johor Bahru for a bowl of this beef noodle.

Seems that the Beef Noodles here are done Hainanese style. That would explain the fact that I've not seen beef cooked this way at stalls before. A chunk of beef is cooked and the stall owner slices the meat as he prepared the orders. Look at that steaming hot pot of beef with all that gravy! The chilli sauce is also quite an essential part of eating beef noodles to me.. It was normal but after adding some calamansi juice, it had a zesty taste to it which I liked.

Beef noodle different from others. With thick gravy which consist of peanut, sesame seed and pickled vege topped on the tenderly prepared beef parts and noodle. Ooo heavenly... Nothing beats eating from an authentic stall, nothing like eating in any fancy air-conditioned restaurant.

        tripadvisor.com.my

The beefy aroma pulled our noses down towards the bowl. Bowing our heads willingly. The lai fun was tender with a slight bounce. The sticky sauce was savoury and just mildly beefy. There was a good mix of textures in the bowl from the tender spring of the lai fun, to the soft beef slices to the slightly chewy beef jerky and the crunchy peanuts and pickled cabbage.

This Video Of Malaysians Celebrating After V Shem-Wee Kiong's Win Will Give You The Chills

Our men shuttlers Goh V Shem and Tan Wee Kiong put on a gritty performance to triumph over Chinese duo Chai Biao and Hong Wei in the Rio Olympics semi-finals yesterday night, 16 August

Image via Reuters

Naturally, we were thrilled to find out that Malaysia is now one step away from the coveted Olympics gold!

Image via Bernama

After all, it has been a 20-year-long wait as V Shem and Wee Kiong are the first Malaysian pair to make it to the Olympics final since Cheah Soon Kit-Yap Kim Hock won silver in the 1996 Atlanta Games.  One day earlier, national mixed doubles pair Chan Peng Soon-Goh Yiu Ling defied all odds to make it to the finals of the Olympics with a straight sets victory over Xu Chen-Ma Jin of China.

While Malaysians posted their heartiest congratulations and reactions to the match on social media...

Both #badminton mixed double & men's double has advanced into the Olympic FINAL! This is super fabulous! #malaysianheroes #proudmalaysian— Pandelela Rinong (@Pandelela_R) August 16, 2016

I had a great few minutes watching Malaysia win in badminton moments ago ! Congratulations Malaysia! #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/ZW9GFLh4T5— JFK (@jfkjohan) August 16, 2016

...one particular video stood out from the rest. Watch this video below and be ready to get all the chills! (Don't forget to turn on your speakers!)

The video above was taken moments after the men's doubles semi-final match at the Rio Olympics, and it perfectly captures the lively atmosphere at a local condominium.  Evidently, there were loud cheers from the residents that broke through the streets, as Malaysians could not contain their excitement when Team Malaysia secured yet another ticket which puts us closer to the golden glory at the 2016 Rio Olympics.  The video was taken by Jassimran Singh and posted by a fellow Facebook user, Kashminder Singh.

The short clip obviously resonated with many local netizens as they were reminded of how sports could unite everyone

Image via Facebook

The video has received more than 170,000 views and 3,300 shares as of this morning, 17 August. Perhaps there isn't much cinematic value to the video but it is definitely one of those heartwarming videos that remind us that we, Malaysians, will always rally behind our national heroes! :)

If you love the video above as much as we do, here’s another epic video of the scene — Malaysians cheering for nearly 4-minutes straight, as if they were watching in a stadium!

Congratulations, V Shem and Wee Kiong! #IniKalilah!

From Birth Mates To Friends To Lovers: Chinese Couple Get Married After 60 Years Apart

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

Two Chinese individuals seem to be fated for one another as they were reunited and got married after spending 60 years apart

According to South China Morning Post, the two lovers, both currently aged 96 years old, were born just hours apart in 1926. The pair were said to have been close friends since birth as both their fathers owned a photo studio together in Shandong, eastern China.Both families eventually moved together to Shanghai after the second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937. Unfortunately, the pair began to drift apart and lost contact with one another after the woman's family moved again to another part of China, a few years after settling in Shanghai.

As fate would have it, the man met the woman's younger brother at a retired workers' dinner party in Shanghai in 2019, where he took the opportunity to reconnect with his long-lost friend

He asked the brother for the woman's address and promptly went to visit her. At first, the woman claimed that she did not recognise her old companion, but six decades apart was no match for the years the pair had spent together as close confidants.The duo were reportedly overjoyed to be reunited with one another."We were both very happy to see each other. We were both widowed and she wanted to find a partner. So I told her she can have me. It's fate for us to meet each other again. Unexpected fate," the man said.

The childhood buddies turned lovers decided to finally tie the knot in 2020.
The pair were 94 years old when they got married.

The lovers now reside in a nursing home in Shanghai, where they plan to spend the rest of their remaining years together."It's not like young people's love between us. It's caring for each other and looking after each other," the woman told reporters, describing their deep care for one another.

SABAH QUAKE: Was Our Malaysian Search And Rescue Team Really "Slow And Unresponsive"?

The 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Ranau, Sabah has so far claimed at least 16 lives with 2 people still missing

Update: 5 more bodies were recovered today. Confirmed fatalities now stand at 16. Two are listed missing.— Masidi Manjun (@MasidiM) June 7, 2015

The death toll from an earthquake that trapped scores of climbers on Malaysia’s highest peak rose to 16 Monday as rescuers searched for two Singaporeans still missing.

        wsj.com

One day after the quake, first-hand accounts of climbers began to spread on social media. Like this one from Razif Hadri, a 30-year-old stranded on top of the mountain. He told The Malay Mail that they were informed that rescue was on the way only to be told later that helicopters were unable to make it to the mountaintop.

“We were told very early on that a helicopter would come to rescue us. We just had to stay safe and wait,” he said, adding that they filled the time gathering information, talking to fellow climbers and motivating each other. However, over the course of the day, emotions changed as rescue attempt after attempt failed due to heavy mist and clouds in the area. He said that helicopters could not land and at one point dropped food for those stranded, but it missed the mark and fell over into the gorge. By 5pm on Friday, the police and army helicopters communicated their inability to make it to the mountaintop, the guides and climbers decided they would make their way down.

        themalaymailonline.com

This was later echoed by Malaysian born Australian Vee Jin Dumlou, who gave glowing tributes to the mountain guides while calling the search operations by the government "a farce"

Following their accounts, the Search and Rescue team were criticised for their "lack of responsiveness". Datuk Masidi Manjun, Sabah's Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Environment quickly defended the operations, stating that this isn't the time to point fingers.

It's easy to pick on weaknesses of S&R effort & I'm sure they are many. We'll talk abt them during post-mortem. Now is not the time to blame— Masidi Manjun (@MasidiM) June 7, 2015

Captain Nik Ahmad Huzlan Nik Hussain, a former MAS chief pilot also defended the search operations, explaining major points of contention in detail:

Image via TheMalaysianInsider

Read the entire excerpt here.

Why didn't the helicopter rescue the climbers when the fog cleared up?

Captain Nik explained that the helicopter used had its limitations given the altitude of the mountain. At that height, the pilot will also suffer mild hypoxia, which would affect his ability to fly safely.

Image via Derma Organ via Facebook

"The video doing rounds of a helicopter dropping supplies away from the victims on the slopes of Mt. Kinabalu is fodder for bashing by many uninformed netizens.  I may be mistaken but the helicopter looks like a Bell 206. This helicopter is rated to fly at 13,000ft maximum altitude. Its an old single engined helicopter meant for flying doctor services and normally operates below 4,000ft. This means that it has very little power at the altitude it is flying at."

"Furthermore, the Pilot will begin to suffer mild hypoxia the longer he stays above 10,000ft which will affect his ability to control the helicopter well. The winds at the altitude is vicious as it is swirling around the mountain creating updrafts and downdrafts. There is no way the helicopter could have approached the victims closer without risking impact as it has very little power to counter the turbulence. So the pilot had to do what he did. I think the Pilot is also an unsung hero for attempting to fly that mission. Unfortunately he got brickbats for his efforts."

This was supported by Sabah Fire and Rescue Department's Director Nordin Pauzi who stated that the strong winds may cause the helicopter to swerve and hit the mountain face

@MasidiM please show to them this pic. How to land the heli safely with this kind of weather? #Kinabalu pic.twitter.com/lF9AixmUhM— Abang Mat (@AyaqJagung) June 7, 2015

Department director Nordin Pauzi said visibility was not the sole consideration for dispatching the helicopters, but many factors that contributed to them not being used to rescue climbers trapped after Friday’s quake. “We have to take into consideration a lot of factors. Fogs are a factor, and although helicopters may have sophisticated instruments to enable them to fly with low visibility but landing a helicopter on a mountain, with no control tower requires the pilots to land based on their own vision,” he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

He said another issue that heavily influenced the decision was the cross winds in the mountain. “Winds are unpredictable and strong up there and during landing, it can cause the helicopter to swerve and hit the mountain face.

        themalaymailonline.com

Why were the rescuers the last to respond? The mountain guides made it up there first

The former pilot stated that this was the correct procedure. The mountain guides knew their terrain better compared to the rescuers. Furthermore, the rescue team needed time to acclimatise their body to avoid altitude sickness, which might hamper their effectiveness as a team.

Image via JABATAN PERTAHANAN AWAM MALAYSIA ( JPAM ) NEGERI SABAH via Facebook

"The manner the rescue was carried out may seem 'chaotic' to the google researchers, but as the facts becomes clear, it became obvious that the correct thing was done under the circumstances. The Guides know the mountain well. The well trodden paths were mostly gone and the official rescuers won't have a clue as to how to carve alternate paths to get up the mountain. More importantly, the victims were mostly above 10,000ft possibly 12,000ft."

"The rescuers needs time to acclimatise their body in order to function effectively up there. The effects of AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness) - headache, nausea, shortness of breath, can render even the strongest person weak. They will be ineffective and be more of a hindrance up there. Appropriately the guides (who are used to the high altitude environment) do the hard work higher up while the rescuers continue the work below 8,000ft."

"Unlike floods, or ferry disasters, high altitude rescue work has another element that does not subside with time, which is the thin air environment. The victims are secured, and the means of getting them down (which they did) are there. As for the dead bodies, there's no point risking lives to do expeditious recovery. In time the bodies will be recovered (which was the case)."

Nordin Pauzi also took time to respond to photos of personnel idling around. “Those photos of us resting do not tell the whole story. We all had to take turns to rest and everyone had a role to play."

Image via AFP: Mohd Rasfan via abc.net.au

He also dismissed critics who have lambasted search and rescue personnel over photos of them idling at Timpohon Gate. “Those photos of us resting do not tell the whole story. We all had to take turns to rest and everyone had a role to play. “To say that we did not do anything is an injustice to the men who also risked their lives climbing up the mountain despite the tremors and falling rocks to search and rescue those who were stranded,” he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Julia Chan who was at the scene, saw that the search and rescue personnel carried out their responsibilities albeit being a bit disorganised

Captain Nik was critical of the way communications were being handled. "Where we fail is here; like all urgent issues in Malaysia, timely accurate effective communications, Public as well as Media Relations failed BIG TIME."

"Recreational Adventurers must remember they chose the path of risk when embarking on such a journey. Its different from "normal" calamities such as widespread flooding and the like.  They cannot complain that they had to endure hardship awaiting an airlift when there are alternate ways of getting to safety. They got down safely eventually."

" Yes there was hardship and anxiety. Some chose to wait. Many had assistance and there will be some amount of chaos. The people below do not have the full picture. Where we fail is here; like all urgent issues in Malaysia, timely accurate effective communications and, PR as well as Media Relations failed BIG TIME."

On-scene Medical Commander at the site, known as Maxy Waxy on Facebook, also gave his thoughts about SAR operations. He explained that they were waiting orders from their superiors as they were working together with other groups.

Nicolson Jacob, an emergency responder noted that everyone on-scene were playing their part and called on Malaysians to not resort to negative comments. "Let's not condemn one another, rather focus on building up and encouraging each other to be better."

Nordin Pauzi acknowledged the guides and his team. “Being recognised as a hero is not a priority. The priority is to save lives and everyone played a part in bringing the climbers and the bodies down the mountain. Everyone did their jobs. The mountain guides did theirs and we did ours,” he said.

They will be given books to read and will then bring those books home to add to their home libraries (currently, the selected students have less than 5 books at home).
