The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Given Rise To Malaysia's 5th Billionaire

Businesses everywhere are suffering amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the opposite is true for rubber glove companies.

Meet Wong Teek Son, the co-founder of Riverstone, a glove manufacturing company.Wong has become Malaysia's fifth billionaire in dollar terms, emerging amidst the pandemic. His newfound wealth came after his rubber glove company, listed on Singapore's stock exchange, underwent a six-fold growth in share price over the past few months, reported Bloomberg.He is now worth USD1.2 billion (RM5 billion).

What's surprising is that Wong's fortune probably would not lead him to becoming a billionaire today had he not lost his job back in 1989

Co-founding Riverstone was never his intention in the late 80s when he was still working as a research and development chemist in a company that supplied cleanroom products.In an interview with the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 2016, he said, "The opportunity presented itself only because the company I worked for shut down, and we were able to use their production lines.""We realised we needed to provide a service to our customers."

Fast forward 31 years later, Wong has ascended to the status of a billionaire at a time when the frontliners around the world are desperate for rubber gloves to conduct their daily duty

According to its latest annual report, Riverstone is capable of producing nine billion gloves annually.2020 has proven to be its best year yet, as profits doubled to RM137.5 million in the first half of the year.Albeit its main operation is based in Malaysia, Wong listed his company in the SGX in 2006 because Malaysia had stricter currency controls. Riverstone's spokesman also said funds raised in Singapore were more easily transferable to China and Thailand - the two countries where the company was trying to expand to then.

Meanwhile, the spokesman declined to comment on Wong's billion-dollar net worth

Although Wong has ridden the wave of the high rubber glove demand over the past few months, his company has experienced a sharp decline in share price after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the country has cleared the world's first COVID-19 vaccine for use. At the same time, two US companies - Moderna and Johnson & Johnson - were in talks with their federal government to supply their vaccines.According to Bloomberg, the development had caused Riverstone's share price to plummet by 13% last week - its worst week since March.However, RHB Research Institute analyst Alan Lim noted in a report that vaccines for COVID-19 will not drive out the demand for gloves.Lim contended that investors may sell their shares in anticipation that it will reduce the number of COVID-19 cases.It is worth noting that Malaysia is the king when it comes to glove manufacturing. Bloomberg reported that Malaysia manufactures 65% of the world's rubber gloves.

Two months ago, the founders of two rubber glove companies became billionaires in dollar terms amidst the pandemic as well:

A Tourist In Vietnam Thought Asian People "Shower" With A Toilet Bidet

A viral Facebook post shows a foreigner who was in Hanoi, Vietnam for almost a week and had a huge struggle with the "showers"

Hamish Carruthers said he was loving everything about his Vietnam trip except for one thing - the showers.

Turns out, Hamish has been using the toilet bidet to shower, thinking it was Vietnam's extreme way to save water

"I'm all for saving water but having to hold your finger on the button to keep the water flowing seems a bit extreme," he said in the Facebook post.Moreover, he added that Vietnamese people are not that short and lamented that he had to bend down to wash his hair with the hand-controlled nozzle.

Image via Keyman Relates

"I tried 2 different hostels now and they both have this style of shower."

Hamish said the cold temperature does not bother him but the height does.He even asked for the public's opinion on the Vietnamese showers.

The post soon caught locals’ attention, who pointed out that the “shower” is actually a bidet meant to wash one’s nether regions:

Kedai Seks "Patuh Shariah" Jual Produk Seks Halal Bakal Dibuka Di Mekah

Sebuah kedai seks Halal yang menjual produk dewasa "patuh shariah" eksklusif hanya kepada umat Islam dilapor bakal dibuka di Mekah

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via ibtimes.co.in

Menurut laporan yang disiarkan dalam Alyaoum24, sebuah portal berita Bahasa Arab, kedai ini dikhaskan hanya untuk pelanggan Islam di Mekah sahaja

Kedai ini juga dikatakan mendapat pengesahan daripada ulama' Arab yang telah meluluskannya sebagai Halal selepas beberapa rundingan diadakan.

Image via Twitter @alyaoum24

Difahamkan juga, pemilik kedai seks Halal ini, Abdelaziz Aouragh turut memiliki sebuah lagi kedai seks online, El Asira di Amsterdam, Belanda yang sangat terkenal dengan produk minyak berahi

Pemilik kedai seks El Asira di Amsterdam, Abdelaziz Aouragh.

El Asira dibuka pada tahun 2010 dan telah mendapat sambutan hangat serta-merta kepada penduduk Islam di Belanda, dan berjaya mencapai 70,000 lawatan sepanjang empat hari pertama pembukaan sahaja.Aouragh yang berasal dari Maghribi memberitahu AFP dia telah diberitahu oleh seorang ulama Arab Saudi bahawa pembukaan kedai seks Halal akan membawa kepada peningkatan hubungan seks antara suami dan isteri.

Bagi projek Mekah beliau, Aouragh akan mendapatkan khidmat bantuan daripada syarikat Jerman Beate Uhse iaitu salah satu jenama pembekal produk seks terbesar di Eropah

Image via www.groupon.at

Aouragh akan menjual 18 produk seks "patuh shariah" di kedai beliau. Vibrator bagaimanapun tidak akan dijual kerana tidak dibenarkan dalam Islam."Produk kami memainkan peranan dalam merangsang perasaan hawa nafsu dan meningkatkan suasana hubungan seks di antara pasangan," kata Aouragh.

Bertentangan dengan andaian popular barat bahawa Islam menindas seks, terdapat nas-nas dalam Al-Quran dan hadith yang menggalakkan seks dalam batasan perkahwinan

Image via www.nrc.nl

Terdapat juga kandungan di dalam Al-Quran dimana Nabi Muhammad memberi pesanan kepada umatnya agar tidak meninggalkan isteri-isteri mereka selama lebih daripada enam bulan untuk mengelakkan pengabaian seksual.

Harapan Aouragh adalah untuk menukar imej stereotaip Islam sebagai anti-wanita, serta menunjukkan bahawa imej wanita di dapur dengan burqa bukanlah gambaran sebenar wanita Islam

Image via www.dailytelegraph.com.au

"Terdapat banyak nilai kasih sayang dan rasa hormat yang diletakkan ke atas wanita dalam Islam. Kedai ini juga menawarkan penyampaian maklumat dan akan membantu wanita Islam mencari jawapan dalam menyelesaikan kemelut mereka," kata Aouragh.

Selain produk seks, umat Islam juga kini boleh menikmati wain, wiski dan juga vodka, semuanya dijamin Halal!

Akhirnya, umat Islam boleh menikmati minuman wain tanpa rasa ragu-ragu.

Woman Horrified After Finding CCTV Camera While Undressing in Johor Massage Parlour

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

A Singaporean woman was horrified when she spotted a CCTV camera recording her while she was changing in the private room of a massage parlour at KSL City Mall, Johor Bahru

The woman told Stomp that she was at the mall with her husband and father-in-law on 16 June 2022, when they decided to get a massage at a newly opened wellness spa.After the trio opted for a foot and oil body massage session, staff brought them to separate private rooms to undress and prepare for the massage. "I took off my clothes and when I wanted to hang the clothes on the hanger provided, I noticed a red light flashing in the corner of the room," she said.

Image via Stomp

That's when she allegedly spotted a strategically placed closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera nestled in the top corner of the room

"The camera was hung next to the curtain, hence making it less visible," she said. "Customers entering the room will not be able to see it unless they flip the curtain."The woman immediately screamed for her husband and informed him about the camera, before hurriedly putting her clothes back on. Her husband then called over the massage parlour's management and demanded an explanation, but they provided conflicting statements."First, they claimed they were not aware of the presence of the CCTV. Then, they claimed the CCTV was not functioning," the woman said."How did they know the CCTV was not working if they were not aware there was a CCTV in the first place? And if the camera was not functioning, why was there a flashing red light?"

Image via Stomp

The woman and her husband recalled seeing a CCTV monitor at the cashier and rushed there to see if the cameras were actively recording

"There was indeed CCTV footage in the room. CCTV footage showed all movement in the massage rooms," she said. The woman claimed that the management team promised they would delete the footage and pleaded with the couple not to bring the incident to the authorities. "The management team kept on insisting they will delete the footage. Hence, I need not worry about the video being circulated," she said. Nevertheless, the couple ignored their request and phoned the police. After a sweep of the premises, authorities advised the woman to file a report at the Larkin police station.

Image via googleapis.com

However, the manager of the massage parlour beat them to the station

The woman said she spoke to Investigation Officer Suhana, who informed her that the manager had already handed over the hard disk. The management team also deleted the footage. "I told Suhana I want this case to be investigated as I was not sure if the hard disk given to the police was the actual hard disk or if there were any copies of the footage."Nearly a year later, the results of the case remain inconclusive."I've been trying to contact the IO to ask [about] the status of their investigation, but I just couldn't get through to her," the woman said."I’m not sure how many customers have been recorded secretly before me. I am not sure if the massage parlour has taken down the camera. I am not sure if customers are still being recorded secretly. This is not right."

This isn't the first instance of hidden cameras in changing rooms:

The police said they are investigating the matter following a report lodged by the fashion retail chain itself.

Power Bank Air Garam Ciptaan Pelajar MRSM Menang Anugerah Antarabangsa Di Switzerland

Dua pelajar Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu mengharumkan nama negara apabila merangkul pingat emas dan Anugerah Keseluruhan Terbaik dalam Pameran Reka Cipta Antarabangsa di Geneva, Switzerland

Ahmad Asyraf (kiri) dan Ahmad Luqmanul (kanan) serta guru pengiring, Anuar Ghani (tengah) bergambar bersama pingat yang dimenangi.
Image via maratv.my

Kemenangan itu diraih Ahmad Asyraf Aqil Ariffin dan Ahmad Luqmanul Hakim Ahmad Tarmizi, 17 yang diiringi guru mereka Anuar B. Ghanimelalui ciptaan mereka 'Power Bank: EXIECO PB' sekaligus menewaskan 1,000 peserta lain daripada 48 buah negara yang turut bertanding.

Berkongsi kegembiraan tersebut, Ahmad Asyraf Aqil berkata idea rekaan power bank yang kuasanya dijana melalui air garam itu, tercetus daripada pengalamannya berdepan masalah bekalan elektrik ketika rumahnya dilanda banjir.Pelajar berasal dari Pasir Puteh, Kelantan itu berkata idea itu kemudian dikembangkan kepada rakan-rakan di MRSM sebelum memutuskan untuk membangunkan produk mesra alam tersebut.

        bernama.com

Powerbank : EXIECO PB mengandungi bahan-bahan seperti aluminium, arang serta air garam, yang mampu untuk menghasilkan tenaga elektrik bagi mengecas apa-apa peranti telekomunikasi dan gajet

Image via maratv.my

Menurut Asyraf, selain mampu menghasilkan tenaga sehingga 6.5 volt, rekaan yang dikhususkan untuk pengecasan telefon pintar itu juga adalah ringan, mesra alam dan mesra pengguna.

"Alat ini tidak perlu dicas menggunakan elektrik, sebaliknya hanya perlu menggunakan air garam untuk menjana kuasa elektrik.

        bharian.com.my

"Penggunaan power bank ini tidak memberi sebarang kesan negatif kepada pengguna kerana mesra alam dan MRSM juga telah menghantar ciptaan kami ini kepada pihak berkenaan untuk dipatenkan," katanya.

        bernama.com

Lebih menggembirakan, produk ciptaan mereka telah menarik perhatian wakil daripada beberapa negara seperti Nigeria dan Algeria yang berhasrat untuk memasarkannya di negara masing-masing selepas dipatenkan

Image via maratv.my

Hasrat itu telah disampaikan kepada pihak MRSM untuk menguruskannya kerana banyak prosedur yang perlu dipatuhi dan dipenuhi sebelum ciptaan tersebut dapat dipasarkan di negara berkenaan.

“Kami juga sedang berusaha mendapatkan pengesahan dan kelulusan daripada pihak SIRIM bagi tujuan memasarkan produk inovasi ini di bawah MARA sendiri”, katanya.

        maratv.my

Dikhabarkan, harga jualan juga mampu milik iaitu sekitar RM46 seunit kerana menggunakan seumber yang senang diperoleh.

Manakala bagi Ahmad Luqmanul Hakim pula, kejayaan itu merupakan sesuatu yang diimpikan setelah hampir dua tahun mereka menumpukan tenaga dan kreativiti bagi menghasilkan ciptaan tersebut

Image via maratv.my

Katanya lagi, selain untuk membuktikan keupayaan diri, kemenangan itu juga membantu mengharumkan lagi nama MRSM dan Malaysia di persada dunia, khususnya dalam arena penciptaan inovasi baharu.

Here's How You Can Donate Boxes Of Essential Goods To Families And Communities In Need

This Spotlight is sponsored by Shopper360.

The COVID-19 situation has affected everyone, but its financial impact on B40 families and underprivileged communities has been devastating

For illustration purposes only.

With employers losing revenue and unable to pay their salaries, many lost their jobs, but still had to support themselves and their families. Without a source of income, it was incredibly difficult for them to pay for things like rent, daily essentials, food, and other necessities.Although the situation is better now that we're in Restricted Movement Control Order (RMCO), many of these communities are still struggling to cope.

Siti*, a single mother of four, lost her job and was evicted during the Movement Control Order (MCO)

*Note: Name has been changed to protect the privacy of the individual.

"When the pandemic hit, I was having a really hard time. I had no job and no money to even pay rent, so my landlord told me to move out. I suddenly had to look for a place to stay. Luckily, I managed to get a place in another block in the same Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR)," said Siti."I was struggling to feed my four children. Sometimes, I would go hungry so that my children could eat. My eldest son, at just 13 years old, felt the responsibility to go find a job so that he could help support me and his siblings.Fortunately, I managed to get a job in a convenience store during the MCO, but that meant that I had little time to take care of my children. My mother was too old to take care of them as well."

The Kotak Kasih campaign aims to help people like Siti get through these challenging times by giving them access to daily essentials like food and self care products

Image via Kotak Kasih

Kotak Kasih are boxes filled with essentials - cooking oil, sugar, flour, fruit drinks/beverages, instant noodles, UHT milk, milk products/beverages, and shower gel.Even though we're in RMCO now, it's important to make sure that those in need continue to get these essential supplies.

The boxes are delivered to the families and communities in need by charity organisations The Lost Food Project and Dignity for Children Foundation

The Lost Food Project is a Malaysian not-for-profit organisation that redistributes surplus food and other goods to those in need, while Dignity for Children Foundation is an NGO that provides holistic care and education for urban poor children in Kuala Lumpur.

This small gesture can go a long way in easing the burden of those struggling to cope with the changes brought about by the pandemic

"I was very appreciative of even the smallest gesture of help, so when I heard of this initiative, I was glad and open to receive it. I was very grateful because even the smallest gestures matter. I felt very sorry for my children as I was struggling to give them food, but the essential items from Kotak Kasih can help ease some of the burden," said Siti.

Image via Kotak Kasih

Through this, the Kotak Kasih campaign not only aims to help those in need, but also to instil hope and care in Malaysians, as well as to encourage us to help each other throughout these challenging times

You can do your part to help by buying Saji Cooking Oil or Good Virtues Co. Shower Cream at Giant, Econsave, or 99 Speedmart, and then uploading your receipt on the Kotak Kasih website.Each item purchased will then be converted into a 'Heart', which equals to one Kotak Kasih donation.

The Kotak Kasih campaign is the brainchild of Shopper360, the foremost shopper marketing expert group in Malaysia

Image via Kotak Kasih

With over 30 years of experience in the industry, they decided to use their resources and connections with various brands and retailers to do something to help these communities.In collaboration with their partners, The Lost Food Project and Dignity for Children Foundation, Shopper360 also connected with Saji and Good Virtues Co. to bring this initiative to life. This campaign was also supported by retailers Giant, Econsave, and 99 Speedmart.They also reached out to brands like MILO, CSR, Marigold, Giant, Goodday, Ibumie, and Tropicana Twister to get them to sponsor the essential items in the boxes.

A huge thank you to all Malaysians who have contributed to and supported Kotak Kasih! <3 You can continue to do so before the campaign ends in just a few weeks!

BUDGET 2016: Key Highlights In 18 Segments And All You Need To Know

Budget 2016, tabled on 23 October 2015 by PM and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, marks the first budget plan for the 5-year 11th Malaysian Plan (11MP) towards becoming a high-income economy by 2020

Image via Twitter @501awani

Before tabling the budget, Najib outlined 6 achievements of 10MP in uplifting the economy from where it was 5 years ago:

			1. The Malaysian economy grew by 5.3% in the first half of 2015 and is expected to expand between 4.5% and 5.5% this year despite a slower global growth of 3.1%. Najib notes that the government is aware that the country is not spared from the impact of a slowdown in the global economy, including declining commodity prices, particularly crude oil, palm oil and rubber, depreciation of the ringgit and slower growth in major advanced economies. However, the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to expand between 4% and 5% in 2016. Growth will be driven by private investment and consumption at 6.7% and 6.4%, respectively. Exports will grow by 0.9% and imports by 1.5%, while the construction sector will expand by 8.4%, services 5.4% and manufacturing 4.3%. 2. Fiscal deficit had decreased from 6.7% to 3.2 % in 2015. In 2016, fiscal deficit is expected to decline to 3.1% of GDP.3. Through the National Transformation Policy (NTP) commencing 2010, the Government continued to vigorously eradicate poverty. Over the five-year period, the incidence of poverty has been reduced from 3.8% in 2009 to 0.6% in 2014. In fact, hardcore poverty has almost been eradicated. 4. The unemployment rate has been reduced to 2.9% and the Government has succeeded in creating 1.8 million jobs, compared to 3.4% in 1999.5. A total of 5 million rakyat in rural areas have benefited from basic amenities such as electricity and clean water supply. 6. The rakyat has benefited from several initiatives such as Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M), 1Malaysia Clinics, Urban Transformation Centres (UTCs), Rural Transformation Centres (RTCs) and Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia, towards reducing the cost of living.

Najib also presented some key points on budget allocation and GST before he commenced with the contents of Budget 2016:

RM267.2 billion is parked under Budget 2016 compared to the revised RM260.7 billion in 2015. - Out of RM267.2 billion, RM215.2 billion is allocated for Operational Expenditure, which includes emoluments (RM70.5 billion), supplies and services (RM36.3 billion), fixed charges and grants (RM106.6 billion), purchase of assets (RM761 million), and other expenditure (RM1 billion), and RM52 billion Development Expenditure for the economic sector (RM30.1 billion), social sector (RM13.1 billion for education, training, health, housing, and rakyat's well-being, security sector (RM5.2 billion), general administration (RM1.6bil), and contingencies (RM2 billion).- GST collection is estimated to hit a target of RM23.7 billion in 2015 since its implementation on 1 April. - National revenue would be reduced by RM21 billion if there was no GST. If Malaysia stuck to the Sales Service Tax (SST), collection would be only RM18 billion, compared to GST's RM39 billion. If Malaysia did not implement GST, national deficit will be 4.8%. With GST, deficit expected to be 3.1% for 2016.- Zero-rated GST medicine will be increased from 4,215 kinds of medicine to 8,630. List of zero-rated items will now include formulated milk for children, dhal, brown sugar, and dry mee kolok.- GST amount will be credited in the value of prepaid mobile services from 1 January to 31 December 2016. GST amount paid will be credited back to users. - Highest tax rate raised to 28% (from 26%) for those earning above RM1 million, while those earning between RM600,000 to RM1 million will be taxed 26% (from 25%).- The Government will continue to make the right decisions in the best interest of the people and nation, although they may not be popular ones. - Malaysia is not in a failed or bankrupt state, as reported by certain media, but stable with strong economic fundamentals and remains competitive, although the country will not be spared from the impact of global economic slowdown, declining commodity prices, ringgit depreciation, slower growth in advanced economies.

Hours after celebrating his 56th birthday with his wife at a food court in Leith Street, night market trader Yeoh Beng Kooi saw his wife being killed before his eyes.“I tried to beg the driver not to accelerate any further and to stop the car but he tried to flee the scene,” Yeoh said.“I am still in shock. How could this have happened?“She was just there with me and moments later, she was gone,” said Yeoh, who sobbed uncontrollably when met during the funeral wake outside his apartment in Lebuhraya Thean Teik, Bandar Baru Air Itam.

        thestar.com.my

Yeoh’s son Phing Koon, 21, said he just could not accept that his mother had died over such a petty matter.“I just can’t believe that someone could actually do something like this over a trivial matter.“What’s wrong with the world?” said the visibly upset salesman, who lives in Kulim, Kedah.

8 Lessons Sheryl Sandberg Taught Us About Grieving For Someone You Truly Love

3 June 2015, marked 30 days since the burial of Dave Goldberg, CEO of SurveyMonkey and husband of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Dave passed away on 1 May after suffering severe head trauma during a gym accident while he was on a holiday in Mexico.

To mark the end of sheloshim, the 30-day period of mourning in Judaism that follows the death of a loved one, Sheryl shared honest and heartbreaking reflections on her journey through grief so far.
Below, we highlight 8 important lessons from her reflections:

Image via Sheryl Sandberg

1. You always have a choice (yes, even in tragedy)

"I think when tragedy occurs, it presents a choice," Sheryl writes, pointing out how we can either give in to the void, the emptiness that fills our heart, our lungs, constricts our ability to think or even breathe. Or we can try to find meaning."These past thirty days, I have spent many of my moments lost in that void. And I know that many future moments will be consumed by the vast emptiness as well. But when I can, I want to choose life and meaning."

2. It's okay to acknowledge that it is not okay

Sheryl admits that she recently learned that she never really knew what to say others in need. It's something that most of us can identify with. "I think I got this all wrong before; I tried to assure people that it would be okay, thinking that hope was the most comforting thing I could offer," she writes, while adding that a friend of hers with late-stage cancer told her that the worst thing people could say to him was "It is going to be okay." That voice in his head would scream, "How do you know it is going to be okay? Do you not understand that I might die?""I learned this past month what he was trying to teach me. Real empathy is sometimes not insisting that it will be okay but acknowledging that it is not. When people say to me, "You and your children will find happiness again," my heart tells me, "Yes, I believe that, but I know I will never feel pure joy again." Those who have said, "You will find a new normal, but it will never be as good" comfort me more because they know and speak the truth," Sheryl writes.

3. Nothing in this is permanent. Whatever rug you are standing on can be pulled right out from under you with absolutely no warning.

"I have learned how ephemeral everything can feel—and maybe everything is. That whatever rug you are standing on can be pulled right out from under you with absolutely no warning.In the last thirty days, I have heard from too many women who lost a spouse and then had multiple rugs pulled out from under them. Some lack support networks and struggle alone as they face emotional distress and financial insecurity."

4. Learn how if you don't know and ask for help

"I have learned to ask for help—and I have learned how much help I need. Until now, I have been the older sister, the COO, the doer and the planner. I did not plan this, and when it happened, I was not capable of doing much of anything. Those closest to me took over. They planned. They arranged. They told me where to sit and reminded me to eat. They are still doing so much to support me and my children."

5. Know that resilience can be learned

"...three things are critical to resilience and that I can work on all three.Personalisation—realizing it is not my fault. He told me to ban the word “sorry.” To tell myself over and over, This is not my fault.Permanence—remembering that I won’t feel like this forever. This will get better.Pervasiveness—this does not have to affect every area of my life; the ability to compartmentalize is healthy.

6. In the face of a tragedy, to restore the closeness with people in your life, whether friends, family and even co-workers; you need to let them in, even if it means being more open and vulnerable than you ever wanted to be

"For me, starting the transition back to work has been a savior, a chance to feel useful and connected. But I quickly discovered that even those connections had changed. Many of my co-workers had a look of fear in their eyes as I approached. I knew why—they wanted to help but weren’t sure how. Should I mention it? Should I not mention it? If I mention it, what the hell do I say?I realized that to restore that closeness with my colleagues that has always been so important to me, I needed to let them in. And that meant being more open and vulnerable than I ever wanted to be. I told those I work with most closely that they could ask me their honest questions and I would answer. I also said it was okay for them to talk about how they felt.One colleague admitted she’d been driving by my house frequently, not sure if she should come in. Another said he was paralyzed when I was around, worried he might say the wrong thing. Speaking openly replaced the fear of doing and saying the wrong thing. One of my favorite cartoons of all time has an elephant in a room answering the phone, saying, “It’s the elephant.” Once I addressed the elephant, we were able to kick him out of the room."

7. At the same time, there are moments so overwhelming when you just can't let people in. Admit it and keep fighting.

*At the same time, there are moments when I can’t let people in. I went to Portfolio Night at school where kids show their parents around the classroom to look at their work hung on the walls. So many of the parents—all of whom have been so kind—tried to make eye contact or say something they thought would be comforting. I looked down the entire time so no one could catch my eye for fear of breaking down. I hope they understood."

8. Learn gratitude and appreciate every smile, every hug you get. (PS: Celebrate your birthday, goddammit).

"As heartbroken as I am, I look at my children each day and rejoice that they are alive. I appreciate every smile, every hug. I no longer take each day for granted. When a friend told me that he hates birthdays and so he was not celebrating his, I looked at him and said through tears, “Celebrate your birthday, goddammit. You are lucky to have each one.” My next birthday will be depressing as hell, but I am determined to celebrate it in my heart more than I have ever celebrated a birthday before."

Of course, it goes without saying that no one would ever wish to trade family for this type of newfound understanding. It's clear from her writing that there is nothing she wouldn't give for a few more days with her husband, as is evident from this heartbreaking story:

"I was talking to one of these friends about a father-child activity that Dave is not here to do. We came up with a plan to fill in for Dave. I cried to him, “But I want Dave. I want option A.” He put his arm around me and said, “Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of option B.” Dave, to honor your memory and raise your children as they deserve to be raised, I promise to do all I can to kick the shit out of option B. And even though sheloshim has ended, I still mourn for option A. I will always mourn for option A."

Image via Sheryl Sandberg

She ended her note with a lyric from U2's "California (There Is No End To Love)," writing, 'As Bono sang, "There is no end to grief . . . and there is no end to love.' I love you, Dave."

The incident only came to light after a friend of the girl informed the victim's father about what the bus driver was making her do

ACP Ahmad Dzaffir said that on the day of the incident, a friend of the complainant had informed that victim’s father that she saw her perform the lewd act on the driver."The father then saw the victim getting down the van in tears and questioned her when inside the house," Dzaffir said, adding that he then took his daughter to lodge a report.According to a report in The Star Online, while it was not the first time such an act had taken place, the girl could not remember the previous instances.Reportedly, the suspect had threatened to harm her if she informed her parents.

Background checks showed that the suspect has previous criminal records involving a lewd case and three drug offences

He has been remanded for six days until 31 May and the case is being investigated under Section 14 (a) of the Sex Offenses Act Against Children 2017.Conviction carries a jail of maximum 20 years and whipping, reported NST Online.


This Girl Tried To Eat Corn with A Spinning Drill And Failed In The Worst Way Possible

In what must be one of the most excruciating videos you'll watch today, a girl from China tried her luck at eating corn from a rotating power drill

Corn on a drill.
Image via The Sun

The video which was uploaded to Facebook on 7 May is going viral, with over 150k likes and 700k shares.

The 17 seconds long footage began with the girl opening her mouth and devouring the corn as it spinned in front of her

Image via Dennis Jandayan Olayan's Facebook page

We think those things flying towards the camera are pieces of corn, but we can’t be absolutely certain they’re not teeth either.

That's when everything turned nasty. The girl's hair gets caught in the spinning drill, which quickly got entangled in her hair

Image via Dennis Jandayan Olayan's Facebook page

Girl, next time please tie your hair.

She tried to push the drill away... but it's already too late. A huge chunk of hair has been ripped out from her head.

Image via Dennis Jandayan Olayan's Facebook page

OUCH.

What is even crazier is that the girl didn't scream or react in any way. Her expression remained calm as she leaned in towards the camera to inspect the exposed scalp.

Image via Dennis Jandayan Olayan's Facebook page

Watch the full video here and be prepared to lose your appetite:

A later video uploaded by Liveleak shows the girl being treated by a doctor, who assured her that she’ll be fine. The bad news? Her hair is going to take years to grow back.

Girl, we hope it was all worth it.

Moral of the story - stick to eating corn with your hands or in a cup, guys!

Oh, and please don't try this at home.

Two more free nuggets for me!" - Azlyn, 18, Student

Kemaman Girl Turns Simple Macrame Bracelets Into Exquisite Wearable Art Pieces

You've probably seen these typical macrame bracelets at many souvenier shops before. In fact, you probably own a few of these friendship bracelets.

Image via Tali Creations

Tired of the same old bracelets sold everywhere, 29-year-old Najibah Zakaria started experimenting with macrame hoping to make unique accessories for herself

Image via Tali Creations

Macrame, pronounced as meh-cra-mae, is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting.

What started out as a hobby soon turned into an obsession and passion to make beautiful art pieces that people can wear

Image via Tali Creations

When she first turned on her first "how to macrame" YouTube tutorial, Najibah was merely playing with different designs by incorporating beads and colours

Image via Tali Creations

Image via Tali Creations

Image via Tali Creations

A few weeks later she was making statement pieces

Image via Tali Creations

Image via Tali Creations

Unsatisfied with just bracelets, Najibah also started experimenting with foot thongs

Image via Tali Creations

Image via Tali Creations

And even used her pets as models for her creations

Image via Tali Creations

Najibah was just having fun weaving these macrame pieces for her friends, but soon after she started getting orders from curious onlookers to help transform their pendants into necklaces

Image via Tali Creations

Tali Creations featuring a shipwreck pendant from MyKraak.
Image via Tali Creations

We were surprised when Najibah told us she has only been doing this for one year

Tali Creations featuring a shipwreck pendant from MyKraak.
Image via Tali Creations

The intricacy, precision, and fluidity in her pieces show years of experience

Image via Tali Creations

Creating different neckline designs, Najibah proves that she is not a one trick pony. She says big pieces like these could take her up to four hours of patient weaving.

Image via Tali Creations

Image via Tali Creations

She has learnt to work with any shape and size of pendant...

Image via Tali Creations

Image via Tali Creations

...and has a knack in using macrame to complement the pendant without taking attention away from it

Image via Tali Creations

Najibah only makes pieces that she personally loves and is not shy to model her own designs

Image via Tali Creations

Image via Tali Creations

With a full-time job as a divemaster on the islands of Terengganu, Najibah draws her inspiration from nature

Cop Reunites With Aunty Who Used To Buy Him Pau When He Was A Kid In Heartwarming Video

A viral video showing a district police chief reuniting with an aunty who used to buy him pau when he was a little boy has touched millions of Malaysians' hearts online

In a Facebook live stream published yesterday, 17 June, Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal is seen holding a bag of pau and a box of face masks in front of the aunty's house.Surprised by an entourage of police waiting outside her gate, the aunty, who is fondly called 'Ah Siong', walks to Nik Ezanee, smiling from ear to ear once she realises it is the man she used to buy pau for when he was a little boy. Nik Ezanee calls out her name and says she looks strong and healthy.

Image via Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya/Facebook

The PJ police chief shares that Ah Siong used to work in his parents' company as a supervisor some 30 years ago

Every time when she learned that little Nik Ezanee would be coming to the office, she would buy him a bag of pandan-flavoured pau."The other day, my parents told me that Ah Siong is still alive, so I decided to visit her," Nik told Malaysiakini.In the video, he tells his officers that now that he can afford to buy his own pau, he wants to pay Ah Siong a visit to return the good deeds after all these years.

Image via Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya/Facebook

After receiving the pau, Ah Siong invites Nik Ezanee to her house and the two quickly sit down and have a chat

Although they may not have kept in touch over the years, Ah Siong remembers Nik Ezanee dearly. She even collects newspaper clippings that feature him.New Straits Times noted that among all the collections, one clipping shows an article that reported about his appointment as the PJ police chief early this year."She still remembered me. She read about me in the Chinese newspaper and kept all the news related to me," Nik Ezanee told Malaysiakini. "That took me by surprise."

The district police chief promises to visit Ah Siong again soon and the two bid goodbye with a hug - like mother and son

Nik Ezanee says the elderly people hold a special place in his heart, before reminding the public that they belong in a high-risk group during the COVID-19 pandemic."Two days ago, June 15, I had a meeting with some Petaling Jaya folks. Many of the residents in Petaling Jaya are elderly," he says."I shared the importance of hygiene and shared about safety awareness. I reminded them to be careful with strangers as the elderly are easy targets."

At the time of writing, the video was viewed over 1.3 million times and garnered 10,000 shares

Thousands of netizens were touched by Nik Ezanee's gesture and lauded the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for setting a great example."How sweet and thoughtful. Good example. We need more people like you. God bless you and your team," commented a Malaysian.

While another added, "Salute and respect you, sir! The aunty is so excited and happy to see you. You brighten up her day."
