KL Mother Disowns Her Gambler Son After Facing 14 Years Of Harassment By Loan Sharks

A woman residing in KL has decided to disown her son after dealing with his debts and harassment from loan sharks for 14 years

Image via China Press

According to The Star, the woman, who only wants to be known as Ng, spoke to reporters at a press conference at the office of MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong at Wisma MCA on 15 August.Ng said her son, Chiow Chee Son, who is a 36-year-old, started borrowing from loan sharks since 2004 as he was addicted to gambling.

The mother said she filed a "lawyer letter" with the intention to disown and officially cut ties with her son on 8 August

Image via Lettree Exemples

The letter was signed and acknowledged by her son, with his aunt acting as a witness.Ng also pleaded for loan sharks to stop bothering her during the press conference. "I got nothing to do with Chiow anymore," she said.In Malaysia, there are no legal procedures for the separation of a parent and child, explained Lawyer James Ee Kah Fuk based on his observation and experience. However, the letter can be used as a notice for the loan sharks as well as her son.

A police report was also lodged by Ng on 14 August for safety reasons

Image via New Straits Times

Loan sharks are known for vandalizing a property if they do not get their money. A loan shark threatened to throw paint on Ng's house if she did not pay her son's loans back.

Ng has paid more than RM60,000 to cover her son's loans and settle his debts, only to be asked for more month after month

Image via Borneo Post

In July alone, Ng has paid more than RM16,000 to cover four loans. She was then asked to pay back around an additional RM10,000 as her son borrowed more money again. Previously, more than RM50,000 was paid back by Ng to settle debts from other loan sharks.

Back in April this year, a man killed his friend after being asked to return RM300 that was loaned to him:

The man is now on the run.

13 Heartbreaking Photos To Make Sense Of The Crisis Surrounding The Stateless Rohingyas

On 14 May, a fishing boat carrying several hundred desperate migrants from Myanmar was spotted adrift in the Andaman Sea between Malaysia and Thailand, according to the NYT. They are a part of an exodus in which thousands of people have taken to the sea in recent weeks with no country willing to take them in.

According to reports, Malaysia has turned away two boats containing 800 migrants, and Indonesia and Thailand have likewise reportedly turned away boats in recent days. While the Human Rights Watch says there are as many as 8,000 people currently stranded at sea, several media reports put the figure at 6,000.

In this photo dated 14 May 2015, Rohingya migrant women cry as they sit on a boat drifting in Thai waters. The boat was crammed with scores of Rohingya migrants, including many young children.

According to the UN's refugee agency, many people on the boats are running out of food and water. Meanwhile a BBC report on Thursday said that 10 people on one boat have died so far...

Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Asia division told the BBC: "They're [Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia] playing a game of marine ping-pong not wanting to take in the Rohingyas.He said it was necessary for the three countries to work together in rescuing them before they decide who is going to take responsibility for them. "This is an urgent humanitarian crisis and the Thais and others seem to be taking a gentle stroll."

The dead bodies were thrown overboard. While the fate of the migrants is not clear as all the countries in the region - Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia – have said they will not allow them to land.

“What we have now is a game of maritime Ping-Pong,” said Joe Lowry, a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration in Bangkok. “It’s maritime Ping-Pong with human life. What’s the endgame? I don’t want to be too overdramatic, but if these people aren’t treated and brought to shore soon, we are going to have a boat full of corpses.”

The migrants, mostly thought to be people from Myanmar and Bangladesh from the Rohingya ethnic group, were initially prevented from reaching the shore pending a consultation with the Foreign Ministry, military spokesman Fuad Basya said. Despite the risks, the Rohingya continue to leave Myanmar in large numbers, fleeing anti-Muslim violence and discrimination in the predominantly Buddhist country.

Interviews with passengers onboard a boat that washed ashore on the northern tip of Sumatra Island, Indonesia, on Sunday, 10 May 2015, provided a glimpse of the brutal conditions they faced at sea and the desperation that drove them to make the risky voyage

Passengers told of waiting on the boat for months before it sailed because the smugglers wanted to pack it as full as possible with paying passengers.Most were forced to remain in the hold, squatting no more than an inch from the person in front of them. Every other day, they were fed bits of rice and noodles and small amounts of water. A hole in the floor, opening directly into the ocean, served as a toilet.The passengers prayed or talked quietly, their whispers broken by the occasional sound of others vomiting from seasickness. “There was no singing, only crying,” said Muhammed Kashim, a 44-year-old Bangladeshi.Mahammed Hashim, 25, a Rohingya from the Kyauktaw District in Rakhine State, said the risks of traveling in a rickety wooden ship with little food or water were less than those of remaining in Myanmar.“We assumed that danger would come, but there was no other way,” he said. “We were living in a country that is more dangerous than the sea.”

10 Things Pakatan Harapan Promised To Achieve In 100 Days If They Win GE14

Opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan (PH) unveiled its manifesto ahead of the 14th general election (GE14) last night, 8 March

The 60-point election manifesto, dubbed as 'Buku Harapan' (Book of Hope), was launched at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) in Shah Alam.In line with the theme 'Membina Negara, Memenuhi Harapan' (Rebuilding The Nation, Fulfilling Dreams) the 194-page manifesto expands upon with five main thrusts as PH seeks to win voters through its planned policies and reforms.These policies and reforms will be implemented in the next five years if PH succeeds in taking over from Barisan Nasional (BN) as the federal government in GE14.

PH's '10 Janji 100 Hari' (10 Promises in 100 Days) is the coalition's pledge that outlines what it sets to do once it is voted into government

Image via Pakatan Harapan/Facebook

Here are the 10 things listed in PH's 100-day agenda:

1. To abolish Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Image via startupchoice.com

On top of abolishing GST, PH has pledged to reduce the cost of living with various "peduli rakyat" initiatives to ensure that the people's well-being is taken care of.

2. To reintroduce fuel subsidies

Image via CNN Turk

PH has pledged to stabilise oil prices and reintroduce fuel subsidies to targeted groups. The Buku Harapan manifesto has revealed that there will be fuel subsidies for motorcycles with an engine of under 125cc and cars with an engine of under 1,300cc.

3. To eliminate unnecessary debts that were forced on FELDA settlers

4. To introduce the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) scheme for housewives

5. To standardise the monthly minimum wages of employees across the whole country

Image via Reuters via MMO

PH has also promised to not just standardise the rates, but also increase the rate of minimum wages. In 2016, the minimum wage in Peninsular Malaysia was increased to RM1,000. Meanwhile, the minimum wage was increased to RM920 for Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan that same year.

6. To ease the burden of National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loan borrowers

Image via Free Malaysia Today

It plans to allow borrowers to defer repayment if the borrower earns less than RM4,000 a month.PH is also proposing to remove PTPTN's blacklisting policy, in which defaulters will not be allowed to renew their passports and they are barred from leaving the country.

7. To set up a Royal Commissions of Inquiry into scandal-ridden institutions

Image via Malaysia Outlook

PH said that this independent task force will be established to probe 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA), Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), and Tabung Haji, and to reorganise their leadership structure.

8. To restore Sabah and Sarawak's autonomous rights, as enshrined in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63)

Image via asklegal.my

9. To introduce 'Skim Peduli Sihat'

Image via imu.edu.my

Through this scheme, RM500 worth of monetary assistance will be granted to the B40 class (Malaysian households earning RM3,900 a month or less) for them to have access to healthcare services at registered private medical institutions.

10. To review all mega projects

Image via Pakatan Harapan/Facebook

PH has pledged to launch detailed studies on mega projects that have been awarded to foreign countries.

M'sian Man Shows How Local Professionals Are Underpaid Compared To Fresh Grads In Japan

A Malaysian returning to the country after spending a decade overseas was surprised to see the contrast in monthly wages between both countries

Having lived in Japan for 11 years, 30-year-old Ahmad Sabri decided to bring his family back to Malaysia after he found himself missing home and wanting to give back to the country.While searching for jobs, Ahmad realised there was a difference in salaries being offered in Malaysia compared to what he was used to in Japan.He took to Facebook on Sunday, 16 August, to share a salary comparison based on two job postings he found online from both countries.

Image via Ahmad Sabri/Facebook

As a mechanical engineering graduate from Japan, Ahmad said he had to do a double-take after seeing the high requirements and extensive job scope of an engineering role in Malaysia

In addition to that, he wrote he was shocked to see that the vacancy was only being offered RM2,500 a month."The place of work is in Puchong, where the cost of living is rather high even though it is on the outskirts of the city," he pondered."In addition to a requirement that every employee must have their own car, which would already take up RM300 a month, other transportation costs such as toll, petrol, and parking have to be self-borne," he said."You would only have the net salary of about RM1,500 after deducting the cost of your car, transportation, taxes, insurance, and the Employees Provident Fund (EPF). And we haven't considered rent and food. If you take away rent, you're probably left with RM1,000."

Image for illustration purposes.
Image via Unsplash

Then, he compared the professional role with a common, entry-level job in Japan which Malaysians fluent in English and Japanese could be hired for

An example he found was a translator role in a game software manufacturing company."The salary offered is about RM20,000 a month and transportation costs will be borne by the company. The net salary would be from RM18,000 to RM19,000 monthly after deducting taxes, insurance, and EPF," he said."After doing some calculations, rent would be about RM2,000 to RM3,000. So, the net salary now would be about RM15,000 to RM17,000 a month. The job scope is small but the salary is way much higher.""So the question is, are Malaysians underpaid, or the Japanese overpaid?" he wondered.

Image via Ahmad Sabri/Facebook

Ahmad personally thinks that the professionals in Malaysia are currently underpaid for the work responsibilities that they take on

"Engineers only sound good by name but not in terms of money. Add on their wide job scope and it doesn't make sense. The salary they are being paid is too low but the expectations are high," he said.He added that too many of his friends who studied in Japan and returned to Malaysia have left engineering and changed careers."These Japanese engineering graduates were earning at most RM3,500. Whereas if they go into customer service [in Japan], they could be earning up to RM8,000 a month by just being fluent in Japanese.""It's an easy job with high pay, who wouldn't want it?" he asked.

His post has since gone viral and been shared almost 3,000 times

Facebook users were tagging and inviting their friends to go to Japan to work."Let's move to Japan," said a netizen to his friend.

Another user agreed with Ahmad, "I was an engineering fresh graduate in 2006 and I only earned RM1,900 a month. I went to work in the dark and came home in the dark.""In addition to overtime (OT), I've never earned more than RM3,000. Be grateful."

Meanwhile, this user said, "Welcome to the real world. You can't have everything. There are pros and cons to consider. You have to choose wisely."

Here is Ahmad's original post for you to consider:

Earlier this year, another engineer demonstrated how the monthly wages in Malaysia have not kept up with the inflated cost of living:

He did it after overhearing an uncle call the young people of today "spoiled".

In July, reports estimated that households earning RM2,500 a month may be categorised as 'urban poor':

Malaysia's previous poverty line was set at a salary of RM980, which may have wrongly reflected the country's actual ...

100 Hari Pertama Donald Trump Sebagai Presiden Bakal Saksikan 9 'Malapetaka' Ini Terjadi

Kemenangan Donald Trump sebagai Presiden Amerika Syarikat ke-45 telah mengejutkan seluruh penduduk dunia

Image via mansionglobal.com

Donald Trump, yang mewakili Republicans mengalahkan Hillary Clinton dengan undian sebanyak 279 berbanding 218 sekali gus menamatkan pemerintahan wakil Demokrat sejak lapan tahun lalu.Trump dengan laungan kempen 'Make America Great Again' telah berjanji untuk mendahulukan rakyat. Laungan ini telah disambut baik oleh rakyat Amerika yang berasa kecewa dengan sistem sedia ada, menjadikannya calon yang paling dipercayai.

Image via inquisitr.com

Jadi, apa yang kita boleh harapkan dari presiden Trump?

Image via bbci.co.uk

Beberapa ikrar untuk 100 hari pertamanya sebagai Presiden Amerika Syarikat telah diutarakan oleh beliau dalam satu ucapan pada bulan lalu di Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.Berdasarkan ucapan tersebut dan ucapan beliau sepanjang berkempen, ini mungkin beberapa perkara yang bakal kita lihat dilakukan oleh Donald Trump:

Antara isi ucapan Donald Trump:

Image via msnbc.com

"Regulations have grown into a massive job-killing industry. The regulation industry is one business I will absolutely put an end to on day one," kata Trump pada September."I am asking the American people to rise above the noise and the clutter of our broken politics, and to embrace that great faith and optimism that has always been the central ingredient in the American character. I am asking you to dream big," ucap Trump di Gettysburg bulan lalu.

Image via dispatch.com

100 HARI PERTAMA:1. Bermulanya proses "mengeluarkan lebih daripada dua juta penjenayah dan pendatang tanpa izin"2. Menafikan perjalanan tanpa visa ke negara-negara yang enggan mengambil kembali rakyat mereka3. Memansuhkan setiap perintah eksekutif Obama4. Sekatan ke atas pegawai-pegawai White House menjadi pelobi5. Had penggal untuk ahli-ahli Kongres6. Pembatalan semua pembayaran kepada program perubahan iklim PBB7. Menggunakan wang itu untuk memperbaiki infrastruktur AS8. Melabel China sebagai pemanipulasi mata wangIni dia 8 di antara banyak lagi pelan yang ramai jangkakan Trump akan laksanakan.

Dan antara yang paling popular tentunya membina tembok di sepanjang sempadan Amerika Syarikat-Mexico bagi menghalang kemasukan warganegara Mexico ke AS. Tetapi ini memerlukan masa yang lama.

Image via lolworthy.com

Donald Trump telah berjanji untuk menghantar pulang 11 juta pendatang tanpa izin dan membina dinding di sempadan AS-Mexico."Saya akan membina satu tembok besar, dan tiada siapa yang membina tembok lebih baik daripada saya, malah saya akan membinanya dengan kos yang sangat murah. Tembok besar itu akan dibina di sepanjang sempadan selatan AS. Dan saya akan pastikan Mexico membayar kos pembinaan dinding itu," tegas Trump.Hampir 3,218 kilometer memisahkan Mexico dan Amerika dan kira-kira 1046 kilometer sudah pun mempunyai kenderaan dan pagar. Untuk membina tembok ini, AS memerlukan kira-kira 339 juta kaki padu konkrit, atau tiga kali ganda dengan apa yang digunakan untuk membina Empangan Hoover.

Sarawak Just Withdrew From Malaysia Tourism Board Following Tourism Tax Row

Earlier today, 12 June, the Sarawak Government withdrew its representative in the Malaysia Tourism Board with immediate effect

In a statement issued by the Sarawak Chief Minister's Office, it said that the Sarawak Government deemed its representation in Tourism Malaysia as unnecessary as this would be duplicating the role and functions of the Sarawak Tourism Promotion Board.

Here's the statement that was issued:

Image via Wan Khalik WM Al-Edrus

While no other reason was given for the withdrawal, the move comes amidst a very ugly spat between Nazri Aziz and Sarawak's Minister in charge of Tourism Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah

Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, the Tourism and Culture Minister, had recently said that the Sarawak's Minister for Tourism Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah was "ignorant" on the workings of the Tourism Tax affecting all states, even to the extent to describe Abdul Karim's request for a deferment of the tax on Sarawak as an act of gangsterism."You should not talk big in politics. If you want to show samseng (thuggery), we are bigger samseng," Nazri Aziz had said to Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

Meanwhile, Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun described Sarawak's decision as a "good move"

A file photo of Masidi Manjun.

Nazri, on the other hand, told Malaysiakini that the Sarawak Government's decision had nothing to do with him and Abdul Karim

"I agree with that (decision). I already withdrew the (state) tourism director and closed down Tourism Malaysia's office (in Sarawak) earlier this year to cut costs. I am grateful that the state government understands what I did by withdrawing its representative. What it did is in line with what I did," Malaysiakini quoted Nazri as saying.

This CNY Video Was Brought To Life Using Over 500 Paper Cutouts. Watch How They Did It

This Spotlight is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia.

It's the Year of the Rat, and Mercedes-Benz Malaysia recently released a commercial depicting the various ways Chinese New Year is celebrated across the world, as part of their 'World of CNY' campaign

What makes this commercial unique is the use of Chinese paper cutting, an ancient handicraft tradition that dates back all the way to the 6th century! Using only paper and a pair of scissors, and sometimes an engraving knife, intricate shapes and patterns are cut out to form beautiful works of art. You can check out Mercedes-Benz' own take of this handicraft in the video below:

×

Using the art of Chinese paper cutting, the characters, patterns, and objects (excluding the fancy Mercedes-Benz) in the video were all made of paper.

With the magic of animation, these paper cutouts were brought to life in the most beautifully-intricate way

Image via Mercedes-Benz Malaysia

Using layers upon layers of paper, everything was painstakingly crafted by hand and brought together to create a sense of depth and emotion. After all the pieces were ready, it was time to film them in their respective 'scenes' and use the power of animation to bring the Chinese paper cutouts to life!

Image via Mercedes-Benz Malaysia

Can you even count how many cut-outs there are?

The commercial was a result of MANY hours spent cutting and shaping cut-outs from red-coloured paper

Watch how all the elements came together to represent CNY across the world:

×

Requiring a high level of skill and patience, each piece was carefully cut out with razor-sharp precision. Placing the elements in their respective scenes was also another huge task to undertake, since their positioning would define the overall flow of the 'World of CNY'.

Image via Mercedes-Benz Malaysia

With each subject typically requiring anywhere between 10 and 60 layers of paper, the complex nature of the craft is enough to be amazed by. Stemming from generations of paper-cutting, the artists who crafted the paper cut-outs for the commercial thought the concept would be the perfect representation of Chinese art as a whole.

If you're feeling crafty, you can recreate the paper-cut elements of the World of CNY yourself

Amalkan 10 Teknik 'Powerful Words' Ini Di Dalam Doa & Alami Sendiri Perubahan Yang Dahsyat

Hari-hari kita baca doa, tapi faham ke tidak doa yang dibaca tu?

Image via klimg.com

Kalau ada di antara kita yang bertanyakan soalan sama, dah tiba masa untuk ubah atau tukar cara kita berdoa. Mungkin kalau sebelum ini kita hafal dan selalu berdoa dalam Bahasa Arab, selepas ini boleh tukarkan doa-doa yang kita baca itu kepada Bahasa Melayu pula.Bila dah faham doa, pasti lebih seronok untuk memohon permintaan dari Allah. Sekali gus kita juga akan lebih khusyuk dan lebih menghayati doa yang dibacakan.

Namun, bila dah faham doa, apa lagi cara yang boleh kita buat untuk improve-kan doa harian kita?
Begini caranya:

Image via Nur Aliah Mohd Nor / Facebook

Seorang wanita di Facebook, Nur Aliah Mohd Nor baru-baru ini telah berkongsi tentang teknik powerful words di dalam doa yang patut kita gunakan setiap kali kita menadah tangan kepada Allah.Perkongsian ini telah mendapat hampir 1,600 shares ketika artikel ini ditulis. Baca di bawah:

Teknik 1: Berilah kekuatan vs lapangkan kesulitan

Sebelum ni kita selalu berdoa, “Ya Allah berikanlah aku kekuatan”.Jika doa begini, maka Allah akan sentiasa menguji hambaNya untuk test kekuatan kita. Jadi doa yang kita boleh betulkan ialah,“Ya Allah lapangkan kesulitan apa yang aku hadapi hari ini, Ya Allah keluarkanlah aku dari kesulitan ini, Ya Allah bantulah diriku ini.”

Teknik 2: Berilah vs kurniakanlah

Sebelum ni kita selalu berdoa, “Ya Allah BERILAH aku..”Jadi cara doa yang kita boleh betulkan ialah,“Ya Allah KURNIAKANLAH aku..”Sebab bila kita sebut BERI, bila-bila masa Allah boleh ambil nikmat tersebut. Jika sebut KURNIA, maka Allah akan kurniakan sesuatu pada kita sampai bila-bila masa, InshaaAllah.

Teknik 3: Dimurahkan rezeki vs dilimpahkan rezeki

Sebelum ni kita selalu berdoa, “semoga DIMURAHKAN rezeki.” Jadi cara doa yang kita boleh amalkan ialah,“semoga DILIMPAHKAN rezeki yang berpanjangan dan berkat.”Bila kita sebut “dilimpahkan”, maka benar Allah betul-betul limpahkan rezeki yang sangat banyak, berbanding dengan dimurahkan, sebab bila sebut murah, Allah berikan rezeki yang biasa dan mencukupi sahaja.

Teknik 4: Tambahkanlah

Image via wordpress.com

Satu lagi perkataan selain dilimpahkan, boleh juga guna perkataan TAMBAHKANLAH. Dan ini doa yang boleh kita amalkan bersama setiap kali dalam sujud terakhir kita.“Ya Allah, TAMBAHKANLAH bagiku rezeki yang banyak lagi halal, iman yang benar, ilmu yang bermanfaat, kesihatan yang baik, kecerdikan yang tinggi, hati yang bersih dan kejayaan yang besar.”

Teknik 5: Cara mengaminkan doa

Sebelum ni kita selalu meng’amin’kan doa begini, “Amin Ya Rabbal Al-Amin.”Jadi cara yang lebih baik untuk kita amalkan bersama-sama adalah,“Amin Ya Allah Ya Mujib”.Sebab maksud Mujib ni ialah memakbulkan. Kita bersungguh-sungguh nak Allah makbulkan doa kita ni, jadi sebut dengan penuh yakin Ya Mujib.

Teknik 6: Doa untuk orang lain

Sebelum ni kita selalu berdoa dengan cara kita ‘mengarahkan’ Allah untuk cepat-cepat keluarkan kita dari masalah-masalah yang kita hadapi.Jadinya doa yang terbaik kita boleh amalkan sambil mendoakan juga untuk orang lain, adalah dengan cara ini,“Allah.. Allahu Robbunaa.. Laa Nusyriku Bihii Syai’a”, (Allah adalah Rabb kami yang kami tidak pernah sekutukan dengan siapa pun)Baca 100x, doa ketika beramai-ramai. “Allah.. Allahu Rabbi.. Laa Usriku Bihi Syai’a”,(Allah adalah Rabbku yang aku tidak sekutukan dengan siapa pun)Baca 100x, doa apabila seorang diri.Kenapa kita baca doa atau zikir ini adalah sebab doa ini penyingkir kesulitan, kesusahan, kegelisahan, kekhuatiran dan keresahan. Sekali gus doa ini boleh menghilangkan beban hutang, beban hati, beban fikiran, serta sangat baik sekali buat bantu sahabat-sahabat kita dalam mencapai hajat-hajat mereka.

Teknik 7: Doa ketika bersedekah

Image via ikimfm.my

Sebelum ni kalau di masjid nak sedekah tu, mungkin ada yang sedekah dan berlalu pergi macam tu je tanpa berdoa, atau mungkin ada yang berdoa dan terlalu mengharapkan Allah bagi rezeki cepat-cepat kat kita. Allahu.Jadi InshaaAllah selepas ini, betulkan niat kenapa kita nak sedekah dan berdoalah dengan bersungguh-sungguh kepada Allah,“Ya Allah aku sedekahkan sejumlah ini kerana untuk digunakan demi mencari redhaMu. Semoga sedikit sumbangan ini dapat menghapuskan segala dosa-dosaku yang membuka segala pintu rezeki yang tidak pernah ku duga.”

Teknik 8: Doa orang yang terlalu sibuk berniaga

Doa di bawah ini adalah khusus untuk orang yang sibuk berniaga siang malam, solat pon kadang hujung waktu dan lebih sedih lagi sampai tak ada masa nak spend time bersama dengan keluarga tersayang. Faktor jadi macam ini mungkin antara sebabnya doa kita tak spesifik minta kepada Allah. Jadi, InshaaAllah doa di bawah ini dapat membantu anda yang berniaga.“Ya Allah ilhamkanlah kami dengan perniagaan  ini dapat membawa kami dekat denganMu, yang membuatkan kami banyak masa untuk beribadat denganMu, banyak masa bersama suami/isteri, anak-anak kami serta ahli keluarga kami. Ya Rabb, kurniakanlah kami jutawan Islam yang kembali menegakkan ekonomi Islam. Dan Engkau kurniakanlah kami hamba-hambaMu yang menyebarkan dakwah dalam berniaga.”

Teknik 9: Doa mendapatkan zuriat

Sebelum ni kita selalu berdoa, “Ya Allah kurniakanlah kami zuriat, anak yang soleh dan solehah”.Dan setiap kali tak dapat pasti kita akan rasa kecewa. Jadi doa yang boleh kita amalkan bersama adalah,“Ya Allah sekiranya dengan mempunyai zuriat dapat mendekatkan diriku dengan diriMu, maka makbulkanlah Ya Allah, sekiranya dengan mempunyai anak membuatkan Engkau melihatku, maka kurniakanlah anak yang soleh dan solehah. Kerana Engkau sebaik-baik perancang dan Engkaulah Tuhan Yang Maha Mengetahui atas segala sesuatu.”

Teknik 10: Zahirkan kesyukuran sebelum membuat permintaan

Image via aswajamuda.com

Paling penting sekali adalah tips yang terakhir ini, kita dah berdoa bersungguh-sungguh ni dan dah tukar cara berdoa kita. Namun kita terlupa, untuk bersyukur kepada Allah swt terlebih dahulu.Sebab barangsiapa yang bersyukur, Allah akan tambahkan lagi nikmat buat dirinya. Waktu terbaik untuk kita ucapkan kesyukuran kita adalah setiap pagi bangun je dari tidur dan juga waktu malam sebelum tidur, buat terapi kesyukuran iaitu 7 rasa kesyukuran kita kepada Allah swt. Contohnya begini,“Syukur Alhamdulillah terima kasih Ya Allah..aku bersyukur masih lagi bernafas pada pagi ini, aku bersyukur Engkau kurniakanku kesihatan yang baik, aku bersyukur Engkau kurniakanku rezeki yang melimpah ruah buat diriku..”

Nampak, kan? Sepuluh teknik di atas ini, hanya dengan tukar sikit je ayat doa dan cara kita berdoa, kesannya sangat dahsyat.

Saya yakin dan percaya dengan izin Allah, selepas ini anda akan menjadi orang yang lebih tenang dan bahagia apabila anda sedang berdoa. Dan semoga kita menjadi seorang yang menjemput rezeki Allah.Sumber: Nor Aliah Mohd Nor

"I'm Happier Now" — 28-Year-Old Pharmacist Explains Why She Left MOH To Go Private

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

A Malaysian pharmacist recently shared why she chose to leave the Ministry of Health (MOH) to work in the private sector

In a Facebook post on her personal account, the former UF41 pharmacy officer, Afifah Aziz, said the decision did not come easy."My personal experience is what pushed me to the edge. The reason why I chose to 'betray' MOH, as some would call it, is because they [betrayed] me first," she wrote.

Image via Afifah Aziz (Facebook)

The 28-year-old related that there were three instances that made her come to the decision to leave the public service

She said the first strike was when the ministry only offered her a permanent position in the service if she, a contractual UF44 pharmacy officer at the time, accepted a position as a permanent UF41 officer in Sabah."After four years of being denied a permanent posting with a grade of UF44, I was called to report for duty in Sabah with the grade of UF41. Downgrading my grade means disregarding my four years of service in MOH all this while," she protested.However, she said she accepted the posting because she still saw the value of a permanent appointment.

The pharmacist's second grouse was that the ministry did not cover her expenses for moving to Sabah because she was deemed not eligible

Coming from Kulim, Kedah, Afifah said not being given the relocation allowance was unfair."Although it is our service that is needed in a place far away from where we call home, [I was] treated like a desperate beggar for work," she said.She added that when she voiced her dissatisfaction to her colleagues, they often told her: "That's normal. They will say if you don't want to move, then quit. There are others who want your spot."

Afifah said the last straw was when she found out that, besides being downgraded in position, her salary would also be cut as a UF41 officer

"You're no longer eligible to be paid as per UF44, we will deduct the sum of money we 'overpaid' you and start paying you with a lowered wage because you're now UF41," Afifah claimed she was told.Afifah said that was when, even though she had already flown to Sandakan to begin work, it took her only three days to change her mind and accept a job offer in the private sector back in Semenanjung."It was the final straw. It's not the money, it's the gesture. It's not easy moving out and being far away from family, but I held my anger in because I've heard of worse experiences from other colleagues," she said, adding that she had asked herself whether she would lose anything if she left MOH."That is why, with nothing to lose, I'm now on my flight back to Kulim, hopeful for my next adventure," she penned in her Facebook post that has since garnered over 11,000 reactions and 5,400 shares.

Image via Afifah Aziz (Facebook)

Afifah told SAYS that she is thankful to the government for her education, but she felt disappointed by the way she and many of her fellow batchmates have been treated

"After all factors considered, I made my decision to leave. Everyone is trying to do the best for themselves and their family. If they can work well in MOH, by all means, stay."If quitting and working in private sector makes them feel more whole, go. You do you. Choose whatever makes you happy. I'm happier now. I feel valued and appreciated in my new workplace. That's all that I ever hoped for," she said.She also hoped that the ministry could address the issue of permanent positions among healthcare staff with more urgency to avoid losing more employees."Action needs to be taken now, or else they will keep losing good and credible staff that they have trained. Take care of them and they will take care of you and your patients," she advised the ministry.

The issues with the public healthcare system and employment terms have long been highlighted by junior officers:

Meet The Inspiring Everyday Malaysians Who Prove That Not All Heroes Wear Capes

This Spotlight is sponsored by Jacob's.

With Hari Kebangsaan and Malaysia Day right around the corner, it's the perfect time to shine the spotlight on some amazing Malaysians

This year in particular has definitely shown us that not all heroes wear capes. We're so grateful with the huge role frontliners have played recently, and are super touched by how Malaysians have really come together to support each other in these tough times.

In 2019, Jacob’s celebrated eight inspiring Original Malaysian icons who are legends in their own fields—icons who are known for being the first, the best, and the pioneers of their crafts

This included Bapa Kemerdekaan Tunku Abdul Rahman, squash queen Datuk Nicol David, silver screen legend P. Ramlee, and more.

This year, Jacob's has chosen to pay tribute to outstanding, everyday #OriginalMalaysians

In their own unique ways, these people have made our day-to-day lives a little easier, put a smile on our faces, and made our country a safer, happier, and better place.“Having gone through unprecedented and challenging times since the start of 2020, this year’s National Day will carry a deeper meaning for us as a nation. We have pulled through together and with Jacob’s #TheOriginalsMY, we want to acknowledge and celebrate Original Malaysians who are all around us – our friends, neighbours, and even strangers. It is now an opportunity for us to sit back and reflect on those who have made a positive and lasting impact on our daily lives, no matter how big or small,” said Arpan Sur, Associate Director, Southeast Asia Biscuits & Snacks.

Meet the four inspiring everyday heroes who have given us so much without expecting anything in return:

1. Nur Azmina Burhan - A hairstylist with a heart of gold who helps underprivileged or vulnerable communities

×

This professional stylist gives free haircuts to vulnerable communities. These free haircuts give fresh looks and renewed hope to those who need it most.

2. R. Jeganathan - Our national Paralympics coach who turned disability into ability

×

His coaching led our national Paralympics athletes to incredible achievements at the 2016 Rio Paralympics—three gold medals and two world records!

3. Adrian Wong - A local technopreneur-turned-lifesaver

×

When there was a shortage of medical supplies, he turned to crowdsourcing and 3D printing to save lives. By using 3D printing technology to turn sporting goods into lifesaving equipment, he was able to aid frontliners in our country as they battled the COVID-19 pandemic.

4. Rizo Leong - An internationally renowned woodcut artist from Sabah who uses his work to champion social causes

Image via Jacob's

Rizo's work has always championed social causes, giving a voice to those who need it most. During the Movement Control Order (MCO) period, he collaborated with other local artists to raise funds for frontliners.

To these wonderful Malaysians, we say, terima kasih! :)

“We live in a country that is made up of people who are always ready to extend a helping hand or put a smile on our faces whenever we need it the most. Experiences like these are truly Malaysian and through #TheOriginalsMY, Jacob’s is encouraging everyone to embrace such moments and recognise the people in it,” says Arpan Sur, Associate Director, Southeast Asia Biscuits & Snacks, Mondelēz Malaysia.

Feeling inspired? This Hari Kebangsaan, Jacob's invites everyone to celebrate their very own Original Malaysian, individuals who are irreplaceable and inspiring in their own unique way.

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

After purchasing a secondhand kimchi fridge online, a man in South Korea stumbled upon a peculiar "free gift" that came with the appliance

According to the longest-running newscast in South Korean television, MBC Newsdesk, the man found thousands of KRW50,000 bills while cleaning the fridge.The money, which totalled up to KRW110 million (RM398,423), was hidden underneath the appliance and it was covered in plastic and tape.

Instead of keeping the money for himself, the Jeju resident went to lodge a police report

Allkpop reported that police are currently investigating the sellers and freight operators to determine the exact source of the money. Authorities are holding onto the money temporarily and are checking various surveillance cameras to identify the owner.

South Korean law states that money will go to the person who found it if the owner does not appear within six months

The Lost and Found Act also notes that the acquiree must pay 22% of the total amount found in tax.If the owner is found, a 5% to 20% compensation will be paid to the acquiree. However, the money will be attributed to the state if the money is found to be related to a crime, reported Allkpop.

APM Officer At KLCC PPV Praised For Going Out Of Her Way To Help OKU Man

A vaccination administration centre (PPV) floor manager's social media post went viral on Tuesday, 15 June, for praising a Civil Defence Force (APM) officer for her selflessness and talents

Mohd Shahril Abdul Ghani, who works at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) PPV, wrote on Facebook that working in a mega COVID-19 vaccination centre was very impressive, as he can meet all kinds of people.However, he added that he was most impressed with the volunteer officers from The People's Volunteer Corps (RELA) and APM."They are very professional in carrying out their work, you know? Everything that needs to be done, gets done without any instructions given. Everyone understands their individual duty," he said.

He went on to mention that he was specifically in awe of a particular APM officer due to her care for the public

He said that the night before, on Monday, 14 June, he overheard the APM officer talking to a foreigner and providing the man with clear and fluent instructions in English."I thought to myself that she was just a low ranking officer but her English was excellent. I was instantly amazed as she did not just explain the procedure, but she actually solved the man's problem," he wrote.The APM officer surprised him again yesterday when she spoke to a deaf Indian man using sign language.Mohd Shahril stated that he was so amazed by her that he asked her what her education level was — bachelor's degree or master's? — she humbly replied, "Only SPM, sir."When he questioned further on how she knew sign language, she responded by saying that she learnt it by herself.

Image via Mohd Shahril Abdul Ghani (Facebook)

Mohd Shahril was awed again when he saw how the APM officer selflessly helped the deaf man with disabilities (OKU)

He shared that the Indian man did not know how to register for the vaccine and that he came to the PPV because someone had misinformed him that he had an appointment.To make matters worse, the elderly man was not using a smartphone and was not registered under any welfare centres.To solve this, the APM officer took it upon herself to register the man as her vaccine dependent on her MySejahtera. She then told Mohd Shahril that she will be responsible for the man until he completes his second dose.

Netizens flooded the comment section with praises for the APM officer's kindness and compassion

"Salute... Let's get together and make her an idol to all #APM members all over Malaysia..." one user wrote.

Another user wished her the best of luck and congratulated her on her exemplary actions.

One netizen commented on her high standards and added that she is our future.

Art Harun clarified later today that the unequal number of government and opposition MPs is meant to reflect the current composition of the 222-member Parliament

According to The Star, he gave the response after the decision drew criticism on social media and a question was raised by Jelutong MP RSN Rayer who wanted a rationale for the different number of lawmakers from both sides allowed into the hall.

The Dewan Rakyat Speaker also clarified that this limit of 80 MPs will not be enforced when a bloc voting is called

He explained that all MPs will be allowed inside the hall if a divisional vote was called during a session, including the Budget 2021 sitting, but will have their voting time limited to reduce exposure as a large group of people."If a bloc vote is called for, then the House bell will be rung for two minutes and a 10-minute period given for all MPs to enter the House and the bell will be rung again for another two minutes before voting is held," he said.

He added that the measures will remain for all sittings in this Parliament session from 9 November to 15 December, following the recent surge in COVID-19 cases nationwide

Among other measures decided to limit exposure to the virus, it was also agreed by all 10 party whips that daily proceedings will be shortened from 10am to 2pm.However, due to the measures made for sittings today, Bernama reported that the government is now mulling over the proposal to hold Dewan Rakyat sessions virtually.

The government has been urged to bring back an initiative that could create up to 350,000 jobs for Malaysians in Budget 2021:

Menurut sumber, dia menggunakan syarikat penerbangan komersial Batik Air untuk perjalanan tersebut."Setelah aku tempah sebanyak mungkin tempat duduk, harganya tetap lebih murah daripada menyewa private jet.

As expected, the usual arguments ensued on social media. Many argued that there is nothing indecent about Jesslyn's dress and far from breaking the dress code:

Looking at the bigger picture, some commenters pointed out that there should be clear guidelines on what constitutes as "short" and "menjolok mata" (indecent) to government officials to avoid this from happening again

After all, people have been turned away or asked to cover up due to improper clothing in the past:

“Raja Permaisuri menitahkan saya duduk di sebelah Baginda. Perut memang dah lapar, maka ayam goreng di hadapan saya memang nampak sangat menyelerakan."Saya menjeling ke sebelah. Saya lihat sudah tersedia sudu garfu untuk kegunaan Tuanku. Dalam hati, tak puas lah nanti makan ayam goreng guna sudu garfu segala.“Dengan perlahan saya bisik kepada Raja Permaisuri, Tuanku, kalau dapat makan pakai tangan ni baru ‘best’. Seperti yang saya jangka, Tuanku Permaisuri terus setuju (dan bertitah) ‘Jom kita semua makan pakai tangan’,” tulis Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kebudayaan, Perpaduan, Kebajikan Masyarakat, Pembangunan Wanita dan Keluarga Pahang itu.

Katanya, cadangan itu disambut baik Raja Permaisuri Agong yang mana perkara sama turut dilakukan Al-Sultan Abdullah yang mula bersantap menggunakan tangan.Katanya, pelbagai perkara dibincangkan ketika di meja santapan yang mana setiap cerita yang dibualkan mengandungi iktibar dan penuh dengan ilmu.

“Selesai santap, YDPA mengucapkan; ‘Alhamdulillah... Lepas hajat saya nak makan KFC. Dah tiga, empat hari teringin’ titah Baginda."Pendek kata, hari ini hari yang sangat manis untuk saya. Junjung kasih Tuanku belanja makan KFC,” kata Shahaniza.

Comel betul YDP Agong & Raja Permaisuri kita ini.
