Malaysian Para-Athlete Shares Heartfelt Video That Has Netizens Believing In Love Again

Last weekend, Malaysian para-athlete Muhammad Firdaus Ibrahim shared a few heartwarming moments of him and his wife on Twitter

The accomplished tennis player took to Twitter to express how much he admired his wife Siti Fatimah for willingly accompanying him from Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Ipoh on her motorcycle. Initially, the pair had planned to relocate from KL to Ipoh in April, after Firdaus accepted a job as a civil servant. But their move was put on hold as interstate travel was prohibited under the Movement Control Order (MCO).

He wrote, "Salute to my wife, brought the motor[cycle] from KL to Ipoh. She has such a big heart. What [did I do to] deserve to have her in my life?"

In the tweet, he shared a video of his wife leading the way with her motorcycle, which had not been used in over three months due to the lockdown

Firdaus added, "Her sacrifices are as much as her love. If I could I would surely be the one riding the motorcycle."A separate video showed how packed their car was, explaining why Siti had to ride the motorcycle.

He captured a final selfie of the both of them before reaching their home in Ipoh. Firdaus captioned the tweet with, "Small, strong, cute," referring to Siti.

The video was overwhelmingly well received by netizens, as it was retweeted over 23,000 times and liked by 36,000 people

Several users wished the couple well and commented that the way Firdaus and Siti faced hardships together was the reason why they believed in love.

"Can I cry? May God protect you both," one Twitter user said.

The verdict: Firdaus and Siti are just too cute.

Firdaus and Siti's love story first went viral last September when the para-athlete revealed how their relationship blossomed over an Instagram conversation

In the December 2017 chat, Siti asks if Firdaus would give her a chance to get to know him, to which he casually responds, "Um yes, can lah."The pair then got married a few months later, in August 2019, after overcoming numerous personal obstacles.

15 Unusual Location Names In Malaysia That Didn't Make It Into Our Geography Textbooks

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

Occasionally, someone will come across a funny location name of a lesser-known street, island, or kampung in Malaysia, and share it with the Internet so we can all have a good laugh

Of course, some of these would already be familiar to people who live in the area. However, many Malaysians from other parts of the country have never come across locations with names so... bizarre. Some of these places have equally unique histories behind their names, which can actually make them seem suitable after all!

Check out these 15 interesting location names in Malaysia that'll definitely get your attention:

1. Kampung Desa Temu Jodoh, Johor

Image via Traveloka

If Tinder were a village, this would be it.Behind the name:This village has a history every bit as romantic as its name. Initially, Kampung Desa Temu Jodoh was a palm oil plantation in an area known as Sungai Lenek. According to mStar, a group of 120 young bachelors aged 18 to 24 were appointed to clear the land in 1973. Soon after, they were asked to help out a group of young women who were working at a similar land scheme project just a few kilometres from Sungai Lenek. There, the men met and fell in love with the women, and in 1977, 24 couples were married in a mass wedding ceremony.During the closing speech at the wedding, the then Johor Menteri Besar, Allahyarham Tan Sri Othman Saat, casually gave the village its name, and it has stuck ever since!

2. Kampung Cinta Manis, Pahang

The Malaysian fairy tale  — meeting your spouse at Kampung Desa Temu Jodoh, then travelling to Kampung Cinta Manis for your honeymoon.

3. Jalan Boo Bee, Perak

Don't be suspicious, Jalan Boo Bee, don't be suspicious.Behind the name:According to Rojak Librarian, this street was named after Ng Boo Bee, a millionaire tin miner who helped rebuild almost half of Taiping, Perak, when a massive fire burnt down the entire town in 1880.

4. Pulau Bum Bum, Sabah

Image via MYNEWSHUB

Not to be outdone by Perak, Sabah also came up with an unusual Island name that you wouldn't find within the covers of a textbook.

5. Pulau Kentut Kecil and Pulau Kentut Besar, Langkawi

Image via PTT Outdoor

Contrary to what their names imply, these islands do not smell like fart.Behind the name:According to one legend, there was a wedding between the daughter of Gunung Mat Chin Chang and the son of Gunung Mat Raya. Unfortunately, the bride's family served the groom half-cooked rice. After eating it, the groom farted... twice. Whether it was one small fart and one large fart, it's anyone's guess.

6. Jalan Microwave TV Station, Sabah

Image via u/Karpampuchi (Reddit)

Is this the place to go to claim free appliances?Behind the name:It is reputed that the street was given this name because it leads to a nearby hill — TM (Telekom Malaysia) Bukit X — that houses a power station with several telecommunication towers with microwave antennas.

7. Kampung Melaka Pindah, Melaka

Image via CARI Infonet

Melaka, please pindah to my area and bring all your food with you, okay?Behind the name:In 1511, Melaka was attacked and defeated by Portuguese armed forces. Datuk Paduka Seri Maharajalela, a prince of the kingdom of Melaka back then, had retreated up Melaka River with his followers, and set up a new village there. Due to this relocation, the new village became known as Kampung Melaka Pindah.

8. Kampung Baru Jumpa, Sabah

Image via Illuminasi

I 'baru jumpa' this signboard and kampung.Behind the name:According to Song and Stories, this village was once populated by the Lundayeh (Lun Bawang) community, many of whom migrated from Indonesia to settle on this land. Despite living a nomadic lifestyle and never having met each other, they kept telling one another, 'Di sini baru kita jumpa' which means, 'This is where we finally met'. Hence why they named this place Kampung Baru Jumpa.

9. Kampung Atas Tol, Terengganu

Image via Flickr

Anyone living within the vicinity of a highway toll would shudder at the thought of staying above one.Behind the name:Legend has it that the settlers in this area lived in groups on a large and sandy land that was unsuitable for agricultural works. The land was referred to as 'atas itu' or 'atas tu', but was changed to 'Atas Tol' when the first British advisor took over the land in 1924.

10. Kampung Tok Imam Lapar, Terengganu

Image via Himpunan Cerita Lawak

This is your sign to feed the poor, starving imam.Behind the name:Several sites claim that the name of this village originates from the story of a trader, who was sailing upstream from Kuala Sungai Telemong to sell rice and salted fish to the villagers along the river bank. When he stopped at Pengkalan Rengas Sembilan, he went to a mosque near the riverbank in search of food, for he was hungry.There, he found an imam who was memorising the Quran. He told the imam that he was hungry, but as the imam was engrossed in memorising the Quran, he did not notice them. The trader then returned to his boat and travelled down the river. However, as he was still hungry, he stopped at another jetty and went to a mosque.Interestingly, the mosque turned out to be the same one, where the same imam was still memorising the Quran. The traders then told other villages about his two encounters with the imam, who continued to 'laper' (memorise) the Quran instead of feeding him.

11. Kampung Penajis, Negeri Sembilan

Ask anyone living here, and they'll tell you their kampung isn't as terrible as its name.

12. Persiaran Kerjaya streets that are named after careers

Image via Waze

Some of the streets here have names like Jalan Arkitek, Penulis,  Penerbit, Kontraktor, Peguam, Jurutera, Jurubina, Jurunilai, Hakim, Pensyarah, Pelukis, Kartunis, Pemberita, Polis, Askar, Tentera, Menteri, Senator, Usahawan, Perpustakawan, and Penyelidik.If you've just completed SPM and are facing a career crossroads, try heading to Persiaran Kerjaya and follow the signs until you stumble upon the right path.

13. Pekan Menggatal, Sabah

Image via @AkuSabah (Twitter)

Believe me, I was scratching my head for a long time trying to figure this one out.Behind the name:According to Wikipedia, the name 'Menggatal', or 'Manggatal' is derived from two English words, 'mango' and 'town' during the British North Borneo Company era. The word 'town' evolved into 'tal', and this area was referred to as 'Mango Town' by the British colonials due to the abundance of mangoes grown by the native Dusuns and the Chinese Hakka community. Since then, the town has been renamed 'Menggatal'.

14. Kampung Permatang Tiga Ringgit, Penang

I'd move to this place if everything here costs RM3.

15. Sungai Sungai, Sabah

Apparently, someone had one job... and got tired of it real fast.

Global Media Watchdog Finds Malaysia Has The Biggest Fall In Press Freedom Ranking In 2021

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

Global media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has ranked Malaysia in the 119th spot out of 180 countries in its 2021 World Press Freedom Index

According to US Congress-funded broadcaster VOA, Malaysia is said to have the "biggest decline" on the index, while Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported that the country "took the biggest hit". Despite that, RSF noted that 73% of the 180 countries have completely and partially blocked the media to some degree during the COVID-19 pandemic."The Index data reflect a dramatic deterioration in people's access to information and an increase in obstacles to news coverage," wrote the watchdog. "The coronavirus pandemic has been used as grounds to block journalists' access to information sources and reporting in the field."

Elaborating on the freedom of the press in Malaysia, RSF contended that several draconian laws in the country have yet to be repealed

It contended that laws such as the Sedition Act 1948 and the Official Secrets Act (OSA) 1972 enable authorities to have strict control over the media landscape in the country."For the media, the restoration of more authoritarian rule in 2020 has led to prosecutions, police searches, expulsions (of journalists and a whistleblower), and flagrant violations of the confidentiality of journalists' sources," it continued."To protect themselves against the government's offensive, many journalists have had to censor themselves."Malaysiakini reported that the country had the best ranking in 2020 (101 out of 180 countries), while the worst ranking was in 2014 and 2015 (147).

Among ASEAN countries, only Indonesia ranked higher than Malaysia on the index

Below is the ranking of the 10 ASEAN countries on the 2021 World Press Freedom Index:- No 113 - Indonesia- No 119 - Malaysia- No 137 - Thailand- No 138 - Philippines- No 140 - Myanmar- No 144 - Cambodia- No 154 - Brunei- No 160 - Singapore- No 172 - Laos- No 175 - VietnamWhile explaining Singapore's 'black' status on the index, RSF wrote, "Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's government is always quick to sue critical journalists, apply pressure to make them unemployable, or even force them to leave the country."The watchdog also noted that two media groups controlled "all of Singapore's print and broadcast media", one of which is state invested, while the leadership of another company is appointed by the government.Timor-Leste — a country that gained independence from Indonesia in 2002, but is not an ASEAN member — ranked the highest in the Southeast Asian region at 71.7 None of the countries in this region had a journalist, citizen journalist, or media assistant killed while on the job in 2021.

Meanwhile, China ranked 177 on the list, only two places ahead of North Korea, while the US ranked at 44.Norway took the number one ranking, followed by Finland and Sweden.

Dogs And Owners Share A Bond Similar To That Of A Parent And Child. FACT OR FAKE?

Dogs are said to be man's best friend.

But the connection between dogs and humans is not just on emotional level. When dogs gaze into their owners eyes, it triggers oxytocin, a hormone produced in the brain that is associated with nurturing and attachment, similar to the feel-good feedback that bolsters bonding between parent and child, the NYT reported citing a recent study that claims gazing causes oxytocin to spike.

The dog’s gaze cues connection and response in the owner, who will reward the dog by gazing, talking and touching, all of which helps solder the two, the researchers said. They suggest that dogs became domesticated in part by adapting to a primary human means of contact: eye-to-eye communication.And when researchers gave dogs extra oxytocin through a nasal spray, the female dogs (though not the males) gazed at their owners even longer, which in turn boosted the owners’ oxytocin levels.“What’s unique about this study is that it demonstrates that oxytocin can boost social gaze interaction between two very different species,” said Steve Chang, an assistant professor of psychology and neurobiology at Yale who was not involved in this latest research.

        nytimes.com

According to the study, oxytocin levels in both dogs and owners rise when they interact, suggesting they do share a bond similar to that of a parent and child. Oxytocin, the hormone, is known to play a role in maternal bonding, says WSJ, and increases when a mother and a child gaze at each other.
One of oxytocin's main jobs is to help a parent bond with their child, so it can be produced when a mother breastfeeds or looks at her baby. The same hormone has also been observed in both dogs and people when they take part in activities like petting and playing, etc.

Image via BBC

To test their theory, the researchers observed 30 dog owners interact with their dogs and then measured how much oxytocin the dogs produced via urine tests.

        salon.com

Researchers had the pleasant task of collecting urine from a group of dogs and their owners before and after a 30-minute interaction. The samples showed that those who gazed at each most experienced the biggest surge of oxytocin in their urine.Researchers sprayed oxytocin into a group of dogs noses and found female dogs stared longer at their owners afterwards. The gazing also increased the owners levels of oxytocin.

        bbc.co.uk

According to scientists who worked on the study, the benefits of gazing at your pet far outweighs if you're simply telling it what to do

Image via BBC

The new findings on the strong bond between dogs and humans could be applied to a variety of fields, including a better understanding of the role of therapy dogs.

        wsj.com

Overall, the results suggest that as dogs became domesticated, they might have developed a mutually beneficial ability to bond with humans the same way that we bond with each other. In an essay on the study published in Science, Evan MacLean and Brian Hare, both cognitive scientists at Duke, write, “dogs have taken advantage of our parental sensitivities—using behaviors such as staring into our eyes—to generate feelings of social reward and caretaking behavior.” In other words, dogs learned to evoke the same love that parents feel for their children.

New Trainee Teachers In Malaysia Will No Longer Get An Allowance From June Next Year

The Education Ministry has decided that allowances for trainee teachers will be stopped from June 2018

A report published in The Star Online, 13 July, cites Deputy Education Minister Datuk Chong Sin Woon, saying that teachers undergoing training will no longer get the RM430 monthly living expenses and RM500 yearly travel allowances.Datuk Chong Sin Woon, however, added the Education Ministry will continue funding the undergraduate degree in Education  (PISMP), the English daily reported."The total cost of the four-year PISMP fee is RM27,831. This will still be borne by the Government," the Deputy Education Minister was quoted as saying.Additionally, the foundation course allowances, and the fees, totalling RM8,163, would continue to be paid by the Government.

This move, however, won't affect existing PISMP trainees

The existing trainee teachers, until they graduate, would continue to receive the RM430 monthly living expense allowance and travel allowance of RM500 per year.

What should the affected trainee teachers do now?

They have been advised to apply to the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) for a loan to help with their living expenses.

Reacting to the Ministry's decision, National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general Harry Tan and Suhakam commissioner and ex-NUTP secretary-general Datuk Lok Yim Pheng have voiced their concerns

Harry Tan said the Government could have taken a soft-landing approach as the short notice given for the announcement is unfair to parents and trainees.Lok Yim Pheng, meanwhile, urged the ministry to reconsider the move."I was told that at one of the teacher education institutes, at least 30% of the trainees’ parents are 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BRIM) recipients. What is the situation like in other institutes? How will the poor cope?," The Star Online quoted her as saying.

Rasa macam tak nak percaya tapi mesti anda juga pernah alami situasi di mana tengah enak bercakap atau merancang untuk menjual kereta, tiba-tiba kereta mula meragam.

Meanwhile in Pahang, the State Education, Islamic Affairs, and Health Committee chairman Datuk Seri Syed Ibrahim Syed Ahmad said poor air quality has forced 16 schools in Rompin to close

According to The Star Online, he said that if the situation worsens, it might affect those sitting for the Form Three Assessment (PT3).PT3 candidates are now undergoing the English oral assessment, which began last week on 2 September and will end today, 13 September. The written examination will be on 1 October.Syed Ibrahim also urged Muslims in Pahang to hold solat hajat (special prayers) for the rain to reduce the haze.

With the worsening situation over the last few days, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has decided to send an official letter to Indonesian President Joko Widodo to raise his concern of the cross-border haze

Someone Discovered How To Pick The Perfect Watermelon So You Don't Have To Knock On It

Have you stood in a supermarket and watched people knock on watermelons?
Are you a professional 'watermelon tapper' yourself?

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Metro

Essentially, the tapping technique is all about what sound it makes. If you thump it with your knuckles and it makes a nice, deep "plunk" sound instead of a "thwack", it means that the fruit is ripe.

Knocking on a watermelon is a pretty common technique... that is, if you know what you're doing. :p
But for those who don't, thankfully, someone has shared other ways you can choose the sweetest fruit.

A post by Facebook user Alfonso Garcia back in 2014 has emerged once again and has made its rounds on social media.In the viral post, he gave several tips on how to pick a great watermelon:

Tip 1: Make sure it has a prominent yellow spot

The yellow spot indicates where the fruit sat on the ground and ripened. If there is no spot, it means that it was prematurely harvested and is not ripe.

Image via ProduceGuide

Tip 2: Look for brown spiderweb-like patterns on the watermelon

If there is a brown, coarse web pattern on the fruit, grab it. This is caused by bees pollinating the flower and scarring the parts that form the fruit. So, the more pollination, the sweeter the fruit.

Image via Newsner

Tip 3: Black globs seeping out of the watermelon are a good sign

If there are black, hard globs coming out of the fruit, that is mostly likely sugar and is not insects or rotting.

Image via Greeley Chiropractor

And remember that if all else fails, you can always just buy it pre-cut. :p
Happy watermelon hunting!

Vice-Principal Rescued From Sinking Ferry Commits Suicide By Hanging Himself On A Tree

The Vice-Principal's Suicide Note Says He Felt Responsible For Putting The Students At Risk

This video-capture image from the Mokpo coast guard shows passengers being rescued by South Korean coast guard.

According to the Wall Street Journal reports, South Korean police said vice principal Kang Min-gyu left a suicide note saying he felt responsible for putting the students at risk.

        cnn.com

Kang Min-gyu, vice principal of the high school attended by the 325 students on board, was found hanged near the gymnasium on Jindo island where family members of the victims have gathered. Police said Mr. Kang left a note behind that read:

        thewire.com

"Please hold me responsible for all of this. I pushed for the school excursion. Cremate my body and spread my ashes over the ship sinking site. I may become a teacher again in the afterlife for the students whose bodies have yet to be found."

The vice principal rescued from the doomed South Korean ferry has been found hanged, Korean police said Friday. Out of the ferry's 475 passengers, 325 had been second year high school students from Danwon High School in Ansan, about 20 miles south of Seoul. They were on a four-day trip to the island of Jeju, a popular South Korean tourist destination.

A police officer says the vice principal was found dead on the island of Jindo where rescued passengers have taken shelter.

        dailymail.co.uk

The 52-year-old Kang Min-gyu had been missing since Thursday. The news of the death came on Friday as rescuers scrambled to find hundreds of people still missing from the ferry, which capsized with over 470 people on board off South Korea’s southwestern coast.

According To A Statement By Lee Seong-Hoon, Chief Of Criminal Investigation At Jindo Police:

The overwhelming majority of the missing are students from the Danwon High School on the outskirts of Seoul, who were on a holiday trip. Divers are fighting strong tides and murky waters to get to the sunken ship but the likelihood of finding any of the missing alive is slim.

In the classrooms of the missing, fellow students have left messages on desks, blackboards and windows, asking for the safe return of their missing friends. "If I see you again, I'll tell you I love you, because I haven't said it to you enough," reads one message.

Putrajaya Is Taking Kelantan Govt To The Court For Violating Orang Asli Land Rights

Attorney-General (A-G) Tommy Thomas today, 18 January, said that the Federal Government is suing the Kelantan state government for violating the land rights of the Temiar Orang Asli community

The A-G said that private companies in the state were granted logging rights in Gua Musang by the Kelantan government and its agencies without consulting the Temiar community or offering them compensation, according to a report in Malaysiakini.He explained that the private companies entered the Temiar land at Simpor Post with heavy machinery and logging forests and carrying out timber logs."Their actions have deprived the Temiar Orang Asli of their native land and resources, and have caused widespread erosion, pollution, and irreparable damage to the ecology and landscape of Pos Simpor (in Gua Musang)," Tommy Thomas was quoted saying.

It's the first time since Merdeka that Putrajaya is instituting legal proceedings on behalf of the Orang Asli, the Attorney-General said

According to Tommy, the civil suit against the Kelantan state government is in recognition of the federal government's constitutional and legal duty to protect and promote the Orang Ali community's wellbeing and advancement."Having researched the law, this Chambers has filed a civil suit in the High Court at Kota Baru for the federal government of Malaysia," he said in a statement on Friday.While noting that while land, forestry and mining matters fell within the state government’s jurisdiction, the A-G added that it was also bound by a "paramount and non-delegable duty" to protect and preserve the welfare of the Temiar Orang Asli.

The federal government would represent the Temiar for free

The suit named the Kelantan govt, the state director of Lands and Mines, the state director of the Forestry Department, and five private entities as defendants.It seeks legal recognition of the Temiar Orang Asli's native land rights in Pos Simpor along with injunctions to prevent private entities from encroaching on and destroying the native land for commercial profit, Tommy Thomas added.

Image via Mkini

Tommy said the decision to sue Kelantan was made after Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was moved by Temiar's plight

Tommy Thomas said the federal government viewed the encroachments on those lands seriously and that commercial development and the pursuit of profit must not come at the expense of the Temiar Orang Asli and their inherent right as citizens of the country, to the land and resources which they had traditionally owned and used.He added that while the Orang Asli had a deep connection with their ancestral land, which they rely heavily upon for economic and cultural sustenance, the fundamental rights of the Orang Asli had been neglected and infringed for far too long."Moved by their plight, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet resolved that legal proceedings be considered to reflect the federal government’s commitment to the Orang Asli. Additionally, this is honouring a promise in its manifesto," he said.

Woman Gets Cursed By Anti-Vax Friend After She Refuses To Share Her Vaccine Cert

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

A woman took to Facebook in disbelief after an anti-vaxxer scolded her for not sharing her COVID-19 vaccine certificate with her

In a post last Friday, 20 August, Facebook user Zura Kadershah wrote that an old friend had messaged her out of the blue and tried to take advantage of her vaccinated status."I swear I cannot brain people like this. Whether you are an anti-vaxxer, antivirus, antibacterial, or antibiotic, that is your problem. But don't ever misuse someone else's MySejahtera vaccine certificate for your own gain," Zura said."We have gone through the difficulty of lining up at the hospital, getting jabbed, then braving the arm pain, muscle ache, and fever for days. How dare you ask people for this?"Zura, from Penang, told SAYS that the woman who messaged her is an old friend she only knew for a few months in high school.

Sharing screenshots of the conversation, Zura and the friend exchanged friendly greetings before she asked if she was vaccinated

"Can you show me your digital cert? I just want to see. Can right?" the woman asked.Zura hesitantly replied, "How can I share things like that, babe. It's private and confidential.""I just want to see what the digital cert is like," the friend pressured. "I've asked many people and nobody wants to share."Zura answered, "Ya, because these things are private. Many people have misused these certs, so I don't dare to share."

Image via Zura Kadershah (Facebook)

The woman then suddenly admitted to Zura that she needed the certificate because she wants to dine in and go shopping.
But she does not believe in taking the vaccine.

With that, Zura stood her ground and told the anti-vaxxer that she will definitely not share her certificate.However, instead of backing off, she was met with curses."F*ck you, bitch. Go die. You've already completed the vaccine, so just wait for the angel of death to come get you. Then you can straight go to hell."

Image via Zura Kadershah (Facebook)

Dismissing the woman, Zura wanted to remind others to not simply share their vaccine certificates online

"Please don't post photos of your digital vaccine certificate on social media because there are many irresponsible individuals who will make fake certificates out of them, especially like this group of anti-vaxxers," she wrote.She added it was especially not right for someone to ask her for her certificate so shamelessly then further insult her for refusing to cooperate.

The post has garnered over 16,000 shares on Facebook with netizens also in disbelief with the person's behaviour

"Hahaha. She wanted to use another person's ceritificate to go shopping. She has no shame," said a Facebook user.

Image via Facebook

"My heart hurts reading this. Can't believe there are seriously humans like this," said another.

Image via Facebook

This netizen said, "She initially spoke so sweetly because she wanted something and when she didn't get it, she became worse than satan. Do let her know, Allah told us to work hard and have faith. The vaccine is one of the efforts for the good of us all."

Image via Facebook

Although many netizens had asked Zura to reveal her friend's identity, Zura told SAYS that she did not out of respect for her friend's mother, who has since called to apologise for her daughter's behaviour.She added that her friend has also since apologised to her.

The police arrested an anti-vax couple today for dining in at a restaurant without being vaccinated:

The woman called their outings "social experiments" to see if they get turned away.

Dari Kelantan Ke KL, Pakcik Ini Sanggup Memandu GrabCar Demi Anak-Anak

Minggu lalu, seorang pengguna servis GrabCar iaitu Rafiqa Rizqin Roslan telah berkongsi kisahnya mengenai pemandu GrabCar dia di laman sosial

Pada hari itu, gadis yang dikenali dengan panggilan nama Fiqa ini sedang menunggu kereta GrabCar yang telah ditempah olehnya dari LRT Gombak menuju ke Taman Batu Muda.  Tiba saja kereta GrabCar tersebut, dia terus terpandang wajah penat pemandu GrabCarnya itu.  Untuk mengelakkan rasa janggal, dia memberi salam kepada pemandunya yang berumur dalam lingkungan 60an itu. Perbualan mereka bermula dengan soalan yang dituju oleh Fiqa."Sudah berapa lama pak cik berkhidmat sebagai pemandu GrabCar ini?", dia bertanya.Melalui kisah yang diceritakannya ini, pak cik yang dikenali dengan nama Badruliksan ini memberitahu bahawa beliau bekerja sebagai pemandu GrabCar ini bagi membayar yuran pengajian anaknya di universiti. Dianggarkan yuran tersebut memang tinggi iaitu antara RM36,000 hingga ke RM37,000 setahun.

    Dari LRT Gombak tadi naik grab car sampai rumah. Dapat grab driver umur dekat 60 tahun asal dari Kelantan. Nak tau apa yang menarik pasal pakcik ni? Pakcik ni cakap dia datang KL semata-mata buat grab, 2 minggu sekali balik Kelantan. Menginap kt hotel. Katanya cari duit lebih sebab nak support anak belajar kt Mesir. Allahu, besar pengorbanan dia. Tambah pakcik ni lagi, kalau dia nak balik Kelantan dia akan tanya budak-budak student yg dia kenal kalau nak balik Kelantan sekali. Dia xcharge pon. Baiknyaaaa.  Moga murah rezeki pakcik, diberi kekuatan dan sentiasa berada dalam lindungan Allah serta terbalas segala niat baik pakcik. Amin.

"Sudah berapa lama pak cik berkhidmat sebagai pemandu GrabCar ini?", tanya Fiqa. Melalui kisahnya, pak cik yang dikenali dengan nama Badruliksan ini menceritakan kisah beliau dimana beliau bekerja sebagai pemandu GrabCar ini bagi membayar yuran pengajian anaknya antara RM36,000 hingga ke RM37,000 setahun. Memandangkan anak-anak beliau tidak mendapat bantuan tajaan ataupun biasiswa, Badruliksan perlu bekerja walaupun usia telah mencecah usia tua. Beliau perlu berkeras mencari rezeki untuk membiayai yuran kolej anaknya yang sedang belajar di Mesir. Beliau memberitahu lagi bahawa beliau sering berulang dari kelantan ke Kuala Lumpur dua kali seminggu untuk mencari rezeki lebih dengan membawa pelanggan menggunakan perkhidmatan GrabCar. "Pak cik akan menginap di hotel setiap kali pak cik datang ke Kuala Lumpur," jelas beliau lagi. Beliau juga akan bertanya kepada pelajar-pelajar universiti yang dikenali beliau jika mereka ingin pulang ke kampung di Kelantan, mereka boleh ikutnya pulang sekali. Beliau sekalipun tidak pernah mengenakan caj kepada pelajar yang ingin pulang ke Kelantan bersamanya.

"Sebab pakcik perlukan wang untuk biayai pengajian mereka, maka pakcik datang ke Kuala Lumpur. Sudah lima bulan pakcik menjadi pemandu GrabCar."

"Pakcik dah tua. Badan pun tak larat, tapi ada sebab kenapa pakcik masih bekerja dan menjadi pemandu GrabCar ini," kata Baderuliksan.Memandu Honda City berwarna merah, anak jati Bachok itu sanggup memperjudikan nasib dan menjelajah seluruh pelusuk Kuala Lumpur atas tiket perkhidmatan GrabCar.Pada usia begitu, beliau sepatutnya berada di rumah bermain dengan sembilan orang cucunya, namun beliau tetap gagah memandu di kota untuk mencari rezeki bagi menanggung tiga anak yang masih belajar, termasuk dua orang yang menuntut di universiti di Mesir dan Madinah. "Jika ada pelancong yang naik, lebih rasa seram sejuk kerana pakcik bukan boleh sangat berbahasa Inggeris. Tapi semuanya pakcik telan, pakcik tahan sebab fikir rezeki ini rezeki halal untuk pakcik tanggung isteri dan anak-anak yang masih memerlukan. Jika pakcik orang senang, pakcik tak akan buat pekerjaan ini," jelasnya lagi.

Selang beberapa hari Fiqa berkongsi tentang kisah pak cik tersebut di laman sosial, dia sekali lagi mendapat perkhidmatan beliau sebagai pemandu GrabCar

Terus terang saya katakan, saya berkongsi kisah Pak Cik ini di laman sosial saya dengan ikhlas. Saya tidak mengharapkan apa-apa balasan ataupun untuk mendapatkan perhatian daripada orang ramai.  "Tujuan saya berkongsi kisah pakcik ini kerana saya tertarik dengan pengorbanan beliau dalam usaha mencari duit untuk bantu anak-anak. Usaha seorang ayah tidak kira penat lelah serta tidak endahkan bahaya yang mendatang semata-mata untuk menampung pebelanjaan pengajian anak di luar negara. Niat murni beliau telah membuat hati saya tersentuh dan ingin berkongsi dengan orang ramai", jelas Fiqa kepada SAYS.

    Hari ni jumpa pakcik grab car viral ni lagi hehe. Terkejut jugak katanya sebab viral. Kawan-kawan dia ada call panggil dia artis. Haha. Tapi yang penting anak-anak dia semua pon dah tau.  Sejujurnya Fiqa bukan saja cari populariti tapi Fiqa saja share cerita pakcik ni buat pedoman kita anak-anak sentiasa beringat jasa mak ayah kita cari rezeki. Alhamdulillah bertambah rezeki dia, ada yang call mintak hantar pergi airport etc. Ramai jugak pm Fiqa kt FB dan instagram nak contact pakcik ni. Tapi Fiqa xkan senang-senang bagi, Fiqa akan tanya tujuan jugak. Ye lah, takut jugak orang pergunakan pakcik ni kan. Fiqa ada jugak baca few comments yang kata anak-anak pakcik ni semua hebat-hebat. Tadi saja tanya, anak-anak semua buat apa. Dia cerita satu persatu. Yang bagusnya salah seorang anak dia ada yang usahakan pusat pengajian tahfiz sendiri di Kelantan. Alhamdulillah. Bangga dengar cerita pakcik ni. Dia buat grab car ni pon sebahagian dari usaha beliau untuk tolong sumbangkan dana untuk pusat pengajian anak dia tu. Ada lagi cerita menarik tentang pakcik ni. Tadi masa dia cakap ramai kawan-kawan dia dah tau kisah dia dah viral, tiba-tiba dia cakap "Awak xtau pakcik ni sebenarnya ramai kenal pakcik sebab pakcik ni dulu tauke budu." Kita pulak terkejut, terus cakap budu tu favourite saya pakcikkkkk hahahaa. Dia kata minggu ni dia balik Kelantan nanti dia bawakkan budu untuk Fiqa. Rezekiii Fiqa pulak, Alhamdulillah. Hehe. Ada sebab kenapa Allah aturkan kita untuk jumpa orang-orang tertentu kan?  A post shared by Rafiqa Rizqin Roslan - 3R (@rafiqarizqin) on Mar 13, 2017 at 4:46am PDT

Apa kata orang ramai?

Seperti yang dijangka, ramai yang mempersoal tentang sumber kewangan yang dipakai bagi membiayai kos perkahwinan tersebut. Selain itu, tindakan Najib menari di atas pentas juga dikutuk kerana tidak melambangkan Islam.

Meskipun begitu, melalui pemerhatian SAYS, kami mendapati lebih ramai rakyat yang menganggap perkara itu langsung tidak ada masalah kerana Najib mempunyai hak untuk bersuka ria pada majlis perkahwinan anaknya sendiri

Apa-apa pun, tahniah diucapkan kepada Datuk Seri Najib dan Datin Seri Rosmah di atas kurniaan seorang menantu. Semoga berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat.

Here's What The Names Of Popular Chinese Restaurants Mean When Translated To English

1. Wong Kok Char Chan Teng (旺角茶餐厅)

Image via JJ Zai / Blogspot

Named after Mongkok, one of the busiest districts in Hong Kong, the name "旺角" (pronounced wong kok in Cantonese) means "prosperous corner" or "busy/crowded corner".

2. Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐)

Image via HungryGoWhere

Together, the name "Din Tai Fung" doesn't actually mean anything, as it was a combination of the founder Yang Bingyi's previous employer "Heng Tai Fung" and his new supplier "Din Mei Oils". However, separately, the characters mean - 鼎 (din): an ancient cooking vessel with two loop handles and three or four legs, 泰 (tai): peaceful, and 豐 (fung): abundant.

3. Dragon-i (籠的傳人, pinyin: long de chuan ren)

Image via The Smart Local

Dragon-i's Chinese name is pretty epic. Although the 籠 (long) here is used to represent the restaurant's signature xiaolongbao, the phrase is pronounced like 龍的傳人 (long de chuan ren), meaning "descendants of the dragon". FUN FACT: The name might be inspired by the 1980 song of the same name, written by Taiwanese songwriter Hou Dejian and performed by Lee Chien-fu. The song uses the Chinese dragon as a symbol of China, with the term Descendants of the Dragon referring to Chinese people. The song has also been covered by Wang Leehom, who also happens to be Lee's nephew.

×

4. Canton-i (香港粥麵家, pinyin: xiang gang chu mian jia)

Image via thule food quest / Blogspot

Pronounced "hiong gong chuk min ga" in Cantonese, Canton-i's Chinese name simply means "Hong Kong porridge and noodle house".

5. Go Noodle House (有間麵館, pinyin: you jian mian guan)

Image via GO Noodle House Facebook

"有間麵館" simply means "there is a noodle house".

6. Restoran Jin Xuan Hong Kong (錦選香港特極點心, pinyin: jin xuan xiang gang te ji dian xin)

Image via iamthewitch / Blogspot

Translated to English, 錦選 (jin xuan) means "(exquisite) collection". When put together with the rest of the restaurant's name, 錦選香港特極點心 (jin xuan xiang gang te ji dian xin) can be taken to represent "collection of premium Hong Kong dim sum".

7. Esquire Kitchen (大人餐廳, pinyin: da ren can ting)

Image via The Mines

While 大人 (da ren) is commonly taken to mean "adults", it was also used in ancient China to refer to government officials or nobles.Meanwhile, 餐廳 (can ting) simply means "restaurant".

8. Souper Tang (汤师父, pinyin: tang shi fu)

Image via Souper Tang

With 汤 (tang) meaning "soup" and 师父 (shi fu) referring to "master", Souper Tang's Chinese name 汤师父 actually means "master of soup" when translated to English.

9. I Love Yoo! (老油鬼鬼, pinyin: lao you gui gui)

Image via Keryi.Can.Boleh / Blogspot

The direct translation of 老油鬼鬼 (pronounced "lou yao kwai kwai" in Cantonese) is "old oil ghosts"... which doesn't really mean anything, really. A more likely explanation would be that I Love Yoo!'s Chinese name is just a fun wordplay on their signature yao char kwai (Chinese: 油炸鬼).

10. Li Yen @ The Ritz-Carlton KL (麗苑)

Image via The Ritz-Carlton KL

Though not a commonly used term, 麗苑 (pinyin: li yuan) means "beautiful garden".

11. Lai Po Heen @ Mandarin Oriental KL (丽宝轩)

Image via Mandarin Oriental

Separately, the three characters that make up Lai Po Heen (the Cantonese pronunciation of 丽宝轩) mean - 丽 (li): beautiful, 宝 (bao): treasure, and 轩 (xuan): pavilion. Hence, we can surmise that put together, the name literally means "pavilion of beautiful treasures".

12. Tim Ho Wan (添好運)

Image via Facebook

Tim Ho Wan means "add good luck".Ironically, the Hong Kong dim sum chain recently shuttered its venture in Malaysia due to challenging business prospects.

Rakyat Bersatu Menerusi Hashtag #ThankYouLeeChongWei, Terpancar Nilai Malaysia Sebenar! <3

Hari ini, legenda sukan negara, Dato' Lee Chong Wei (DLCW) mengumumkan persaraan setelah 19 tahun berkecimpung dalam arena badminton tanah air

Image via Reuters

DLCW tidak dapat menahan sebak dan menitiskan air mata ketika sidang media khas sempena pengumuman persaraannya dalam arena badminton sebentar tadi.Chong Wei yang 19 tahun beraksi untuk negara pada mulanya dilihat tenang namun tidak dapat mengawal perasaan apabila mula mengucapkan terima kasih kepada tenaga sokongan dalam Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM).

Image via Luqman Hakim Zubir / NSTP

“Terima kasih kepada semua jurulatih, terutama jurulatih yang membawa saya naik ke tahap ini, Datuk Misbun Sidek."Saya tidak pasti sama ada beliau ada di sini atau tidak. Ada beberapa jurulatih ada di sini, terima kasih Hendrawan dan Tey Seu Bock. Begitu juga dengan tenaga sokongan yang mengikut saya ke mana saya pergi, fisioterapi....(terus menangis dalam tempoh seminit),” katanya.

Keputusan ini dibuat kerana kemelut kanser hidung yang dihidapinya sejak September 2018

Image via ytimg.com

DLCW menceritakan pengalaman rawatan kanser menerusi status panjang di Facebook yang dimuat naik sebentar tadi pada jam 4.10 petang.Menerusi status tersebut, DLCW menjelaskan bahawa sebaik sahaja beliau disahkan bebas daripada kanser, beliau terus mengangkat raket dan berlatih. Malangnya, keadaan bertambah buruk selepas beberapa sesi latihan ringan. Doktor menasihatkan supaya beliau tidak meneruskan hajatnya untuk mengejar pingat emas Olimpik pada tahun depan, sebaliknya lebih mementingkan kesihatan dirinya.

Image via badmintonplanet.com

"Apabila saya bebas daripada kanser, saya mengambil raket saya dan berlatih sekali lagi."Selepas beberapa sesi latihan ringan, saya ingin mendapatkan kebenaran dari doktor saya untuk meningkatkan intensiti latihan saya. Tetapi saya didatangi dengan tamparan besar. Dari imbasan itu, doktor menggelengkan kepalanya dan berkata saya mungkin menghadapi risiko kanser kembali jika saya terus berlatih. Mew Choo menangis remuk. Dia takut saya mungkin degil dan terus mengejar impian saya."Saya berasa rugi. Saya fikir 'Bagaimana saya harus menggantung raket saya selepas hampir dua puluh tahun bermain badminton? Bagaimana dengan impian Olimpik saya?'" tulis DLCW.

Agak sukar bagi beliau untuk menerima hakikat. Namun akhirnya, ada satu perkara yang membuatnya tersedar daripada lamunan.

Baca status penuh DLCW di bawah:

To all my family friends and fans. To everyone of you who have been a part of my life, thank you. A real big sincere...Posted by Lee Chong Wei  on Thursday, June 13, 2019

Beliau turut memohon maaf kepada seluruh rakyat Malaysia di atas kegagalannya membawa pulang pingat emas Olimpik pertama negara yang diidam-idamkan

Image via Twitter @LeeChongWei

Sejak daripada itu, rakyat Malaysia bersatu teguh di belakang DLCW dan tanda pagar #ThankYouLeeChongWei terus trending nombor 1 di Twitter

Image via imgur.com

Jelas terpancar keharmonian rakyat Malaysia, masing-masing tidak melepaskan peluang mengucapkan terima kasih kepada DLCW kerana tidak pernah jemu berjuang untuk negara
