Cheongsam Or Samfu: RTM Newscaster's Costume Leaves Malaysians Scratching Their Heads

We are so lucky to be Malaysians in the sense that we are able to wear different traditional clothes when we visit our friends' open houses during different festivities

So much so that even our newscasters often change their attire to fit the festive mood.
However, this time, Malaysians have been left puzzled by a newsman's traditional clothes as some suspect that he was wearing a cheongsam that is meant for women.

According to Kosmo!, the segment where the newscaster can be seen wearing a red Chinese traditional attire was aired on government television station RTM last Friday, 12 February. It is understood that he was presenting news from a studio in Sabah.One netizen noticed the newscaster's attire and decided to post a screenshot of the segment on Facebook, alleging that the newscaster is not aware that he wore a traditional outfit that is meant for the opposite gender."If this photo is real, then it is another example of the great chasm that now exists in the cross-understanding of cultures in Malaysia," read the now-deleted viral post, which gathered over 600 shares before it was removed."This is supposedly an RTM TV newsreader dressed up for Chinese New Year. The guy and the station [do] not realise that he is wearing a woman's cheongsam!"

Although the post has been removed, it did not stop netizens from debating whether the newscaster is wearing a cheongsam meant for women or a samfu meant for men

"There are two types of traditional clothes for Chinese men. The one that the newscaster wears is rarely worn," said a netizen.However, the admin of a Facebook page where the netizen commented disagreed, contending that the attire has 'lace patterns' by the collars and the sleeves."If the lace patterns appear on the neck and wrists, the shirt is for women," the admin rebutted.The netizen later agreed with them, before adding that it is the programme management's fault for the wardrobe blunder."Colours and designs play a role. Yup, by right, the lace patterns shouldn't be there," concurred the netizen.

Some people argued that a cheongsam is normally not that loose, while some said that a cheongsam is never long-sleeved

However, a quick google search will fetch you results that show such claims do not hold water — as this Facebook user had pointed out.

"He wanted to be fast, so he stretched the cloth (just to fit it). That's why he accidentally wore a cheongsam. He is still handsome anyway," one netizen said in jest.Another added, "No wonder it looked weird when I saw it that day.""Unisex cheongsam maybe," one person said while laughing.

Image via Facebook

Meanwhile, some netizens defended that the newscaster did not wear the wrong attire, explaining that it is merely a tang suit with 'traditional cheongsam style'

"I'm sorry. You have to have knowledge about traditional Chinese costumes," explained a person."Actually, this is not a women's cheongsam, but a cutting similar to a cheongsam for men. Female cheongsam does not have long sleeves. Because he wears something red with a layer of floral decoration and it is made from soft linen, that confuses people who do not know this type of Chinese attire.""Don't view it wrongly. Remember the 'Ip Man' movie? He also wears an attire with this cutting, but only his attire's color is dark and made of thick fabric. (The newscaster) did not wear the wrong attire. It's just that other people's assumptions present different views."

Image via Facebook

Following the rumpus on social media, RTM broke its silence on the issue, clarifying that it was not a blunder

RTM's director of public relations division K Krishnamoorthy said that the television channel has always been cautious towards cultural matters, reported The Star."(On the outfit), we referred to our stylist Jenny Kueh who told us that this is a trendy wear at the moment which originates from a traditional outfit from the Machu ethnic group in China. It is called a samfu," said Krishnamoorthy."One mistake we admit to is, we picked the wrong size of the outfit for our newsreader."The issue has also divided the Malaysian fashion community, with some designers saying that they do not see anything wrong with the outfit, while others saying it should not be worn at all.However, the general consensus is that the outfit is not a well-designed piece as its shiny fabric with the piping design makes it look feminine — and ultimately caused a misunderstanding.

In June last year, RTM newscasters wore school uniforms to show their support for teachers and students who were returning to school:

Did You Know That Some Of The Water We Drink Comes From A 220-Million-Year-Old Rainforest?

Did you know that some of the water we drink comes directly from rainforests?

×

If you've drunk a bottle of Spritzer Natural Mineral Water, you may have noticed the difference in the pristine taste, which is actually rich in silica and minerals. Since the late 1980s, Spritzer has continuously manufactured and distributed natural mineral water. And over the years, the brand has produced different beverages for us to stay hydrated and refreshed. From sparkling mineral water to natural mineral water, carbonated fruit flavoured drinks, non-carbonated fruit flavoured drinks, functional drinks and more, we definitely love quenching our thirst with Spritzer! But... have you ever wondered how exactly Spritzer gets their fresh mineral water? Jom, let's find out!

Deep within a 220-million-year-old rainforest in Taiping, Perak, lies Spritzer's vast 330-acre site of natural mineral water sources

Image via Spritzer

Sustainably sourced from the rainforest, Spritzer's pristine and natural water is rich in silica and sweet to the taste. The water is extracted from pure natural water sources as deep as 420 ft underground, which explains why it's so rich in minerals. According to an analysis conducted by the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM), Spritzer's natural mineral water contains no microplastics, making it completely safe for consumption. In fact, Spritzer has a team of professionals that maintain and protect the plant, to ensure that the water source continues to hold pure and clean water at all times. Once the water is extracted, it is hygienically filtered before being transferred to Spritzer's iconic green mineral water bottle. Throughout the entire process, the team uses advanced bottling technology to ensure that each bottle of natural mineral water maintains its pristine quality.As one of Malaysians' favourite natural mineral water, Spritzer is actually listed in the Malaysia Book of Records as the "Largest Bottled Water Producer"!

On a different note, preserving nature is also the brand's top priority

Throughout their entire production and maintenance process, Spritzer goes to great lengths to ensure they don't get in nature's way. Other than that, Spritzer Natural Mineral Water comes in 100% PET packaging, which makes it easy to recycle. Besides that, there is another product – Acilis by Spritzer, a plant-based bottle made from up to 30% plant-based materials consisting of agricultural waste. To further spread the importance of conserving nature, Spritzer opened their renowned EcoPark, an education site in Taiping. EcoPark aims to educate Malaysians to understand the importance of preserving nature as well as how the brand's mineral water comes from a pristine and natural source. Since its opening in 2015, families and schoolchildren have visited the educational park and manufacturing plant to learn further about the process and environment.

We may not be able to travel interstate right now to visit their site, but fret not.
From now until 23 May, Spritzer is organising an on-ground activation in Pavilion Mall, Bukit Bintang, so you can play, learn, and discover more about Spritzer!

Grab Driver Tracks Back His Customer Just To Return A Bottle Of Cooking Oil

A Twitter user recently shared a story of how a Grab driver who went above and beyond to find a woman who had accidentally left a bottle of cooking oil in his car

Image via Hazrey via Twitter

According to Hazrey, a Grab driver, Raymond picked up a customer who bought a lot of groceries on Tuesday, 20 March. However, the lady rider had accidentally left a bottle of cooking oil in his car boot.The following day, Raymond made a trip down to the neighbourhood where the lady resides at, hoping that he would be able to return the bottle back to her.

Raymond first approached Hazrey as he believed the cooking oil belongs to Hazrey's mum

However, Hazrey revealed to the driver that his mum has passed away a long time ago.Then the driver said, "Ah, it must be your wife's then."Hazrey denied again, "If it was my partner, I'll be the one driving her to buy groceries."

"Bro, I think you were driving ghosts"

Raymond checked his Grab app and there was no house number on the app, only the name of the street.He maintained that he dropped off a lady customer with three children at Hazrey's house and this is when Hazrey told the driver that he might have dropped off ghosts.

Hazrey then told Raymond to try looking at the other street for the owner of the oil. However, the persistent man returned after 30 minutes and was adamant that the cooking oil belongs to Hazrey's household.

Raymond said with confidence, "This is her house bro. This cooking oil belongs to your partner."Hazrey asked Raymond if the lady was plus-sized or skinny and he answered the former.Then, Hazrey told the kind man with a straight face, "It's not my partner. I'm fat. She's not."

The pair eventually cracked the puzzle and found out that the cooking oil actually belongs to a neighbour of Hazrey in the same row

Image via Giphy

Hazrey said to Raymond, "It must have been a huge trouble for you to return this cooking oil."The driver said, “Kesian maa dia mahu masak nanti ini minyak tak ada. Saya pun nampak dia beli barang banyak mahu masak. Minyak tak ada nanti susah.” (I feel pity for her if she wants to cook and there's no cooking oil. She bought a lot of groceries to cook and it would be hard without cooking oil)Hazrey praised the man in his tweet, "Although the cooking oil is slightly more than RM10, he still took the trouble to return it to the owner."

Raymond, we salute you for your kindness and your heart of gold!

Award-Winning UK Chocolatier Faces Backlash For Using Durian To Represent Domestic Abuse

A renowned chocolatier in the UK is facing backlash after appearing to associate durians - a much-loved fruit in Southeast Asia - with domestic abuse in a recent awareness campaign

In collaboration with Woman's Trust, a charity organisation that provides counselling to female survivors of domestic abuse, award-winning chocolatier Paul A. Young had created a box of chocolates meant to highlight the deep and emotional psychological trauma caused by domestic abuse.

        View this post on Instagram           TW: domestic abuse. Did you know that 1 in 4 women in the UK will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime? I’ve partnered with @womanstrust this #ValentinesDay to create a chocolate box filled with Salted Caramels and one Chocolat Dégoûtant made with durian fruit, ‘the world’s most disgusting fruit’ to raise awareness for this worthy cause. The chocolate, like many abusive relationships, has the same outward appearance as the others, but conceals a darker reality. The lingering flavour gives people a taste of the heart-breaking emotional and psychological trauma experienced by survivors of domestic abuse; the single largest cause of depression among women in the UK. Woman’s Trust are a specialist London charity that provides counselling for survivors of domestic abuse, run entirely on donations and grants. Last year, they helped over 1000 women in their journey to recover from abuse. For more information, head to chocolatdegoutant.com #WomansTrust  #chocolate #chocolatier #thechocolateman #valentinesday2019 #valentine A post shared by  Paul a Young (@paul_a_young) on Feb 14, 2019 at 4:07am PST

Hidden in each box is a single chocolat dégoûtant made of "the most disgusting fruit in the world", which Young said is meant to represent the one in four UK women who will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime

Image via Chocolat Dégoûtant

According to Young, the chocolates - three of which are made of the "world's best" salted caramel - may look the same on the outside, but like many abusive relationships, "conceals a darker reality" on the inside. He added that the "unexpected" durian-filled truffle has a pungent aroma and leaves a lingering aftertaste, which is meant to symbolise the long-lasting effect of abuse on women's emotional wellbeing.

Young also explained that he chose the pungent fruit due to its "polarising nature", adding that the durian-filled chocolate provoked the "biggest reaction" when they were testing it out with other flavours

Image via Chocolat Dégoûtant

“We chose durian for this project for its polarising nature and because it was essential to provoke a reaction from those who eat it - we wanted to start a conversation about a cause that is incredibly important," he said. "I tested numerous versions of a fourth chocolate, one of which was incredibly spicy, and another that was too salty to eat, but the one that got the biggest reaction was the durian."He added, "The durian, like domestic abuse, stays with you long after you first encounter, so it seemed like a perfect way to illustrate the heart-breaking experience of so many women and raise awareness of a cause I feel passionate about."

Despite seemingly good intentions, the decision to associate the King of Fruits with domestic abuse was met with considerable backlash upon the campaign's launch, with some calling it "tone-deaf" and "lazy stereotyping"

One commenter wrote, "I appreciate the good intentions to support survivors of domestic abuse, but casual racism and lazy stereotyping is perhaps not the best way to do it.""I can understand your intention but this campaign is badly planned, distasteful and tone deaf," another commenter chimed in. "To link food that means so much to people and link it to something so terrible doesn’t make sense."

Many pointed out that durians are "coveted" in Asian culture, and that linking a much-loved cultural icon to a criminal act is a product of "deep ignorance" and "casual racism"

"This is tone deaf. To take the food of one culture and superimpose it into a public service message about domestic violence shows deep ignorance, and opportunism. To claim not to understand at all why it would upset anyone - shows your lack of exposure to the nuances and subtleties and histories of people and foods, surprising, considering what you both do," wrote one commenter. Read more comments:

In response to the backlash, Young later apologised and said that it was not their intention to be "disrespectful to anyone's culture"

Image via Chocolat Dégoûtant

"I’m truly sorry that the messaging on this partnership has distracted from the true intention – to raise awareness for the shocking statistics around domestic abuse," he wrote. "When I was first approached to work on this campaign, it was never our intention to bring negative attention or be disrespectful to anyone's culture, and I am wholeheartedly sorry that it has had this effect."

Domestic abuse is one of the most common yet unreported crimes across the globe. If you or anyone you know are a victim of domestic abuse, here are some numbers to call:

These Are The 8 Most Common Mistakes You're Making When Washing Your Face

With the festive season and all the parties that come with it approaching soon, we all want to look our best. Looking good starts with the most basic of things, taking care of your skin.

Image via Luna's Alphabet

Sure, you may already have your own skincare regime, but you may be doing more harm than good when it comes to washing your face. There's actually a lot more to it than you may think! Using good quality products created specifically for your skin, such as SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, will go a long way in keeping your skin staying smooth, radiant, and moisturised this festive season.The iconic skincare brand aims to make beautiful skin a reality for every woman, and it starts with how you wash your face.

Take better care of your skin by ensuring that you're not making these 8 common mistakes when you wash your face:

1. Not washing your hands or face washcloth

Image via Gfycat

Even if they seem clean or you haven't really done anything much throughout the day, you never know what bacteria could be lingering on your hands. So, it's always best to give them a quick wash with soap before proceeding to wash your face.As for face washcloths, experts recommend that you either wash it (as in properly, like you're doing laundry) every day or just use a new one every single time. This will reduce chances of transferring dirt, grime, bacteria, and maybe even mold to your face.

2. Exfoliating too harshly and too often

Image via the beauty desk

Exfoliating can feel really good and leave your skin feeling soft and supple but that doesn't mean that you should be doing it every day. You should only be deep scrubbing once or twice a week, using a gentle scrub with natural particles such as jojoba beads.Otherwise, over-scrubbing can lead to dry skin, broken blood vessels, skin discoloration, as well as irritation and inflammation due to microscopic tears in the outer skin layer. Also make sure that you're not scrubbing too harshly when you exfoliate, be gentle so that you don't cause further damage to your skin.

3. Scrubbing too hard

Image via Gfycat

The harder you scrub, the better right? Because you'll be giving your face a more thorough clean and helping to get rid of more impurities. Wrong! Overworking your skin like that actually leaves it more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. Just go for gentle circular motions instead.

4. Washing your face too often or not often enough

Image via Furthermore from Equinox

The ideal number of times you should be washing your face is twice daily: once in the morning when you wake up, and once at night before you go to bed. Some may see either one of these as unnecessary but here's why they're both important.Washing in the morningBacteria from your saliva, oils from your hair, as well as germs from your pillowcase and bedsheets are just some of the things that could transfer to your face while you're sleeping. So it's important to wash your face when you wake up to not only get rid of all these things but also to freshen your skin and make it easier for your skin to absorb any other skincare  products you'll be applying later.Washing at nightEven if you didn't wear makeup on a particular day, you should still wash your face before going to bed. Throughout the day, natural oils and sweat accumulate on our skin; the dirt and pollution that we're exposed to also builds up on our outer skin layer. If we don't remove all this gunk at the end of the day, it can cause acne breakouts as well as skin inflammation and irritation.On the other hand, washing your face too often can lead to dry, irritated skin, or cause it to produce too much oil. So unless you're prone to skin infections, wore heavy makeup and/or sunscreen, or were excessively sweaty, stick to washing your face only twice a day.

5. Using the wrong technique when applying products

Image via The Cut

The openings of your pores face downwards, so you should be applying facial products in an upwards direction to make sure that it properly absorbs into your skin and gets to where it's needed. Applying products using a circular motion is also effective.

6. Not using both warm and cold water

Image via Contour and Confessions

Did you know that you're actually supposed to use two different temperatures of water when washing your face? TIL man! Use warm water (make sure it's not too hot) to start off. This will help to open your pores and loosen up the impurities so that your cleanser will be able to penetrate deeply into your skin and do its job. Then, finish off your face wash with cold water to help tone and contract your skin cells.

7. Wiping your face dry and not using a separate towel

Image via BuzzFeed

The way you dry your face after washing could potentially undo all the good you did by washing it in the first place. You should be gently patting your face dry, not wiping it like you do for the rest of your body because tugging at your face like that induces wrinkles.Also, make sure that you're using a separate clean only-for-your-face towel, not the same one that you use to dry yourself off after a shower. Different microorganisms live in different parts of the body so you don't want to be transferring bacteria from other parts of your body to your face.

8. Using the wrong kind of cleanser for your skin type

Image via Flitto

If you find that a product that worked wonders for your friend isn't working for you, or that your skin isn't improving despite sticking to a good skincare regime, it could be because the product you're using doesn't suit your skin type.Whether your skin is oily, dry, or something in-between, you should be using skincare products that cater to your specific skin type and concern. Experts recommend the following:- For sensitive skin: a gentle, hydrating cleanser- For oily or acne-prone skin: foaming, gel, or salicylic acid-based cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt- For dry skin: a cream cleanser to help your skin’s top layer retain more moisture

Uncle Kentang Helps Wheelchair-Bound KL Woman Who Was 'Left To Rot And Die'

Social activist Kuan Chee Heng has come to the aid of a wheelchair-bound woman who lives alone in a squalid room in Kuala Lumpur

In a Facebook post published on Tuesday, 5 January, Kuan — or more fondly known as Uncle Kentang — said the woman lives alone in a house in Sri Petaling.According to him, the woman does not even have a pair of pants to wear."She wrapped herself with a trash bag. Plastic trash bag. Sleep in a small prison-like room. No light as the only light failed to light up," said Kuan."She asked us for candles, and lighter. I refused because she might burn herself to death."

Kuan said that the woman could speak good English and Chinese.

Kuan said the woman pays her rent by using RM300 she receives monthly from the Social Welfare Department (JKM)

Without any money left for herself, she only eats one meal a day, which is provided by a kind-hearted person who visits her every day around 11am to 3pm.Since she is wheelchair-bound, she cannot clean herself. Kuan noted that the room was cluttered with rubbish and faeces.As for the toilet, he said, "I have no heart to show you."

			She was literally left to rot and die there.
        Kuan

"Please non-governmental organisations (NGOs), I need you to share her story so it can help the authorities to rescue her from dying a horrible and unwanted death," Kuan pleaded."Please help her. She [does] not deserve to be treated in such a manner. As we [got] her out for some fresh air, she smiled." "But unluckily, the moon was absent in the sky. But I guess the sun too was not there every day for her.""I really hope an NGO can shelter her. No problem, we will pay. This is about humanity that we cannot do without."

In one of the livestream videos, Kuan said he had contacted JKM to see if they could help the woman

"If you can help me to share her plight, please do. If you have [a pair of pants] to spare for her, please visit her," he beseeched.The social activist said the 84-year-old woman is located near to him, but "far away from humanity".Since Kuan's first posting, he and other Good Samaritans have gone to feed her, clean her, and get her tested for COVID-19. But more help is still needed.

Gojek Dan Dego Ride Akan Dilancarkan Di Malaysia Bermula Januari 2020. Vroom Vroom!

Seperti yang telah diura-urakan sejak beberapa bulan lalu, Malaysia bakal melancarkan teksi motosikal seperti Gojek dan Dego Ride bermula tahun hadapan

Perkara ini telah disahkan oleh Menteri Pengangkutan, YB Anthony Loke yang menyatakan syarikat e-hailing permotoran Gojek Indonesia dan produk tempatan Dego Ride akan beroperasi di bawah projek perintis bermula Januari 2020.

Kedua-dua teksi motosikal ini akan melalui tempoh ujian selama lebih 6 bulan terlebih dahulu bagi mengkaji permintaan pelanggan terhadap servis tersebut. Selain itu, untuk tempoh percubaan, ianya dihadkan di Lembah Klang sahaja.

Antara syarat servis perkhidmatan tersebut ialah penunggang perlu berusia 18 tahun ke atas dan boleh membawa seorang pembonceng sahaja pada satu masa yang juga berusia tak kurang 18 tahun

Malah, motosikal yang digunakan juga tidak boleh melebihi usia lima tahun dan penumpang juga dijamin dengan insuran.

"Proof of concept (POC) juga akan membolehkan kerajaan dan syarikat terlibat mengumpul data, menilai kebolehan dan tahap permintaan serta servis-servis lain yang berkaitan," tambah Anthony Loke.

Untuk memastikan keselamatan, Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) dan polis akan turut sama terlibat dalam pelaksanaan undang-undang sebagaimana Akta Pengangkutan Jalan.

Tambahnya, kerajaan melaksanakan projek percubaan terlebih dahulu kerana ia mengambil masa untuk undang-undang khusus diusul, dibentang serta diluluskan di parlimen.

Susulan daripada pengumuman itu, Grab Malaysia yang merupakan pengendali perkhidmatan e-hailing terbesar di Malaysia mengalu-alukan persaingan sihat yang bakal terjadi di antaranya dengan Gojek dan Dego Ride.

[PHOTOS] Melting Ice Forces 35,000 Pacific Walruses To Haul Out Onshore In Alaska

Earlier in September, a record 35,000 Pacific Walruses hauled themselves on a remote Alaskan coastline. The massive gathering was photographed as part of an annual survey undertaken by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Andrea Medeiros, a spokeswoman for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, told the Associated Press wire agency that the animals' mass movement was first detected on 13 September, and that they have been moving on and off shore ever since.

        bbc.com

Observers have reported seeing carcasses, which may be from dead animals killed in a stampede. The biggest of these tusked beasts can weigh in excess of two tonnes. Scientists were heading to the area to perform necropsies to determine the exact cause of death, Andrea Medeiros added.

Walruses are an ice-dependent species. They rely on it for everything from giving birth to diving down to reach the food below. But with sea ice having retreated far offshore, the Walruses have been forced to swim to land to be able to forage and rest.

Image via guim.co.uk

Walruses, each of which can weigh more than 4,000 pounds, depend on sea ice for hunting food in deeper ocean waters and resting in between those dives, and the retreat of sea ice cover in recent years has helped push them ashore in increasing numbers in the Russian Arctic and now the Alaskan Arctic as well, biologists and climate scientists said.

        mashable.com

Walrus haul outs in the U.S. have occurred in six of the last eight years, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. However, previous events were in far smaller numbers than the current event, on the order of a few thousand to about 10,000 marine mammals, according to Margaret Williams, who directs the World Wildlife Fund’s Arctic program. A study published last year found the 2011 haul out may have been as large as 30,000 animals.

        mashable.com

While it's hardly the first big Walrus gathering to be documented, a fact well noted by climate change skeptics, scientists say the size of the gatherings are growing as climate change melts Arctic sea ice, depriving Walruses of their sunning platforms of choice

This is what #climatechange looks like. 35,000 walruses forced ashore: http://t.co/Nt2JfmrR4B pic.twitter.com/dNV3sIzRvV— WWF (@WWF) October 1, 2014

"The walruses are hauling out on land in a spectacle that has become all too common in six of the last eight years as a consequence of climate-induced warming," the U.S. Geological Survey wrote on their website Wednesday.

        nationalgeographic.com

"Summer sea ice is retreating far north of the shallow continental shelf waters of the Chukchi Sea in U.S. and Russian waters, a condition that did not occur a decade ago," the USGS website says. "To keep up with their normal resting periods between feeding bouts to the seafloor, walruses have simply hauled out onto shore."

        nationalgeographic.com

Within hours of newspapers covering the striking photographs, the walrus and their reason for being on that forlorn shore became enmeshed in the politics of climate change. “This is what climate change looks like,” said WWF. Climate sceptics immediately produced evidence that showed the haul out was nothing out of the ordinary.

        theguardian.com

Both sides were guilty of simplification. But it is almost certain climate change forced the walrus ashore at Point Lay and it places the species’ future in jeopardy. The walrus, almost all of them females and calves, should be spending their summer on the fringes of the Arctic sea ice. But the ice is gone.

As the ocean heats up due to global warming, Arctic sea ice has been locked in a downward spiral, according to  NatGeo

Since the late 1970s, the ice has retreated by 12 percent per decade, worsening after 2007, according to NASA. Walruses were first spotted coming ashore in large numbers in 2007. In 2009, an estimated 3,000 walruses were seen; the number rose to 30,000 in 2011 and went back down to 10,000 in 2013.

        nationalgeographic.com

Scientists have seen large haul-outs on the Russian side of the Bering Strait for quite some time, says Anthony Fischbach, a wildlife biologist at the USGS in Anchorage. But since the first recordings of walrus gatherings in Alaska in the 1870s, groups of this size weren't observed until 2007, he said. May 2014 represented the third lowest extent of sea ice during that month in the satellite record, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

        nationalgeographic.com

Lori Polasek, a marine biologist at the Alaska SeaLife Center, a research and wildlife rehabilitation facility in Seward, says:

"Being in Alaska, climate change is very apparent. That's the reason why we have lost summer Arctic ice."

        nationalgeographic.com

While it's not unusual for male Walruses to gather in large numbers on Alaska's shores, females typically prefer floating ice chunks as places to give birth, leaving calves on the ice when finding food

Walrus gatherings are also a natural occurrence, Polasek said. Walruses pull their bodies out of the water—or "haul out"—to rest or warm up on ice platforms or land. Hauling out is partially convenience and partially walrus nature, said Polasek. The stretch of beach near Point Lay is close to Hanna Shoal reef, a prey-rich foraging ground.

        nationalgeographic.com

The giant marine mammals are gregarious and tactile animals, swimming side by side in the water and sprawling all over each other on shore. And when it's time to haul out, walruses tend to play follow the leader

        nationalgeographic.com

"Until one brave soul is willing to haul, they're all looking around and wondering, 'Hey, did Bertha just haul out?' Wherever Bertha or that brave soul picks, within hours, they'll all begin to haul out to [that place]," Polasek said. "They just want to be with other walruses." Polasek predicts the herd will remain at Point Lay for two to four weeks. They'll return to the waters once winter ice begins to form.

Google May Launch A Health-Data App Called "Google Fit" This June

Just two weeks after Apple announced its upcoming Health app for iOS 8, Google is reportedly preparing to launch a similar service called Google Fit

Image via forbes.com

Apple's new HealthKit health and fitness tracking platform looks set to gain a fresh challenger in the form of Android developer Google, which will reportedly launch a similar service dubbed Google Fit at its annual developer conference in San Francisco later this month.

        appleinsider.com

Google Fit is rumoured to collect and aggregate data from fitness trackers, as well as other health-related apps

Google Fit will aggregate data through open APIs, instruction sets that allow apps to share information, and will also announce partnerships with wearable device makers at its I/O conference, Forbes understands.

        forbes.com

One source with knowledge of Google’s plans said Google Fit would allow a wearable device that measures data like steps or heart rate to interface with Google’s cloud-based services, and become part of the Google Fit ecosystem.

        firstpost.com

The move would directly compete with Apple's new Health app and HealthKit for developers

The concept behind Google Fit is similar to Apple's Passbook app, the iPhone's virtual pocket for items such as airline boarding passes, movie tickets and coupons. It will be able to pull in data from other third-party apps, such as Nike, to keep all your health-related information in one hub.

        wsj.com

It’s unclear if Google Fit will be a service build into the next version of Android, or a standalone app that Android users will be able to download independently

Google has kept much of what it will announce at I/O under wraps but it has scheduled several developer sessions where it could conceivably talk about Google Fit. There is a session on “wearable computing with Google” on Day 1, followed by “designing for wearables,” and then the broader “Android and cloud” session on Day 2.

        forbes.com

Google has been in this field before with Google Health, which also acted as a health portal but was shut down in 2012

Google's previous health effort, which was shuttered in 2012.

“Google Health never took off because consumers actually don’t want to aggregate their data,” says Derek Newell, CEO of digital health care platform Jiff. “They haven’t wanted to. What they want is information. They want meaning, rewards and a feedback loop.”

        forbes.com

Google may want its new health platform to tie in with Android Wear, a version of Google’s Android mobile OS that's built for smartwatches and other wearable devices

Google Fit could tie into Android Wear
Image via forbes.com

This way, someone wearing two or three wearable devices that run on Android Wear could have disparately collected data like steps, heart rate and temperature, aggregated by Google Fit as a central collection point.

KL Artist Done With Customer Who Only Offered RM10 For A Commission Painting For His GF

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

A local artist recently shared how she dealt with a rude customer who was only willing to pay RM10 for a commissioned painting

Kazel Lim, a freelance artist based in Kuala Lumpur, shared the story on Instagram after curious netizens wanted to know more about the incident that occurred two months ago."These kind of customers really make me want to vomit blood," she wrote in Mandarin.She said she was about to sleep after a long day of work when she received messages from a potential customer asking for a painting.

According to the screenshots, the man wanted Lim to draw him and his girlfriend on one of their holidays as a birthday surprise

However, the customer was already difficult from the beginning, for when Lim asked him for a reference photo, he asked her to find one herself on his Facebook page."It's a lot of trouble to choose," he said, when she asked him to pick a few for her.The artist also asked him to choose a size for the art piece, suggesting that A5 or A4 would be best so that it would be easier for him to find a frame later.But he replied, "I don't know these things, just help me choose the largest size, but make sure it is not too expensive, I don't have much money for this because I have to give her other gifts.""I want the cheapest but largest piece," he said.

Image via @kazel_ (Instagram)

Ignoring Lim's explanation that larger-sized paintings would cost more, the man then requested for the painting to be completed by the next day

"Help me draw a photo when we were at the seaside, with the sun and the beach. You can find the photo yourself okay, I don't know how to choose. I want it tomorrow," he texted.Calmly, Lim replied that paintings normally take her a few days to complete, so she does not take urgent orders.To which he said, "I'll pay for it, help me choose a size."Asking his budget, the man finally told Lim, "It was RM10, but I can add another RM10. I want a bigger one so you can draw more things on it."

Image via @kazel_ (Instagram)

Lim asked if he was serious, then declined the order and asked him to look for another artist

She explained, "I can't paint for this price. I use my time, energy, and experience to complete every piece of art. The amount of time spent and the money [you are offering] is not proportional."However, the man then began to tell her off."What do you mean? Are you playing with me? We have been talking so long and now you are saying no? I don't have time to find someone else, you have to draw for me," he said."A lot of people don't have jobs now and I'm giving you a chance to earn money but you still hang high (too snobby) to sell? What kind of attitude is this? Many people want to earn money but they can't, you think a lot of people need art?" he continued to berate.He then threatened that he will leave bad reviews on her Instagram and online store.

Image via @kazel_ (Instagram)

Done with the conversation, Lim drew him this:

Image via @kazel_ (Instagram)

"Alright. I just did your painting. It's free. Happy birthday to your girlfriend," was her last message to the rude customer.

Netizens have since flocked to Lim's post to commend her for handling the situation so gracefully

"Oh my God, I didn't expect you to still draw and give him a drawing. Best! He should pay for that masterpiece too," said an Instagram user.

Image via Instagram

"I pity the girlfriend. Hope she finds a better boyfriend," said another.

Image via Instagram

Another netizen said, "Oh my God, so rude this person. Glad you know your worth."

Recently, a pastry chef shared that a customer asked if he could walk an hour to deliver her order for free:

"Why you sell so expensive tart? Aunty go buy the apple, 14 only for RM10 yesterday," she also asked the small busine...

PDRM Officer Who Allegedly Raped 2 Mongolian Women To Be Charged For Human Trafficking

A police officer who was accused of raping two Mongolian women will be charged for human trafficking today, 29 April

The suspect will be charged at the Klang Sessions Court under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act.If convicted, it could result in imprisonment of between three and 20 years and a fine, according to a Malay Mail report.

The suspect may also be charged for rape

Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said that they are waiting for further instruction on whether they can proceed with the charge. "The police are awaiting further instructions for the offence of rape under Section 376 of the Penal Code," he said in a statement yesterday, 28 April, according to Free Malaysia Today.

Earlier this month, the suspect was arrested at a boutique hotel for holding two women, aged 20 years old and 36 years old, against their will

The women were stopped at a Movement Control Order (MCO) roadblock for failing to have valid travel documents. The police officer was alleged to have taken advantage of the situation by bringing them to a hotel and raping them.

Three Mongolian women who were detained after making a police report about the incident have since been released."We are extremely grateful to all those who came forward to demand accountability from the police in their treatment and the process of investigation of our clients," lawyer Mathew Thomas said in a statement yesterday, according to Free Malaysia Today."With the whistleblowers freed today, we take it as a first step forward towards justice in this case."

Datuk Who Assaulted A Couple In A Steamboat Restaurant Has Been Arrested

A Datuk has been arrested for intimidating and slapping a couple in a steamboat restaurant in Petaling Jaya, Selangor

According to New Straits Times, the police arrested the 42-year-old Datuk, along with another 39-year-old suspect, in Mutiara Damansara at about 3.40pm yesterday, 14 January.Selangor Criminal Investigations Department chief ACP Datuk Fadzil Ahmat confirmed that one of the suspects holds a Datukship and that he has a criminal record for criminal intimidation.The Star reported that the police record lodged against him was dated 2019.

Other than investigating the incident, the police will also find out whether the suspects are involved in any gang-related activities

The police will be submitting a remand application to investigate the suspects' backgrounds.

Image via 我们是马来西亚人 We are Malaysians (Facebook)

Prior to the arrest, Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Nik Faisal revealed that the incident started because the suspects were told off for talking too loudly in the restaurant.Following the complaint, he said one of the suspects hit the victim with his hand and was suspected of slapping a female patron at the restaurant before leaving."Both suspects, who were drunk, attacked the person who made the complaint," Nik Ezanee said.

However, the initial police report states that the woman whom the suspect had slapped is a waitress

The Star noted that there is a discrepancy in reporting, saying Chinese vernacular newspapers reported that the person whom the suspect slapped was the victim's girlfriend.SAYS, too, reported based on a witness' account, which was communicated to a friend, that it was the victim's girlfriend who was slapped."My friend said the hardest thing to swallow in the incident was that when the guy — who called himself 'Datuk' — was about to go out, he saw the boy's girlfriend, he went forward and slapped her viciously. I was also angry when I saw the video," read the viral post that shed light on the issue.

IGOTW: Street Artist @Cloakwork On Being A Rebel And Painting Graffiti At Night

QUICK QUESTION: What is graffiti to you?

Do you think of it as a form of vandalism?

Or a piece of art?

This is the question that always seems to rise up when graffiti becomes a topic of conversation. But regardless of what you might think, it is here to stay and affects everyone because graffiti is everywhere.

@Cloakwork is a local illustrator and graffiti artist who is on a mission to change the perception Malaysians have on graffiti. We got to know him a little better in a fuss-free interview:

Image via Cloakwork's Instagram

SAYS: Tell us a little about yourself, Cloakwork!

Cloakwork: Hello, my name is Cloakwork. I'm a 24-year-old Malaysian graffiti artist and illustrator. I daydream often and my mind experiences some creative fantasies that inspire my artwork. As for my real name, I'd rather keep it a secret. ;)

What's the story behind the name 'Cloakwork'?

Cloakwork is separated into two parts:*'cloak' and 'work'. Cloak means hidden, stealth and cloaking, while work is a movement, I often do graffiti at night without being noticed. During the day you'll see a plain concrete wall, and the wall gets 'cloakwork-ed' at night - people will see a colourful graffiti wall there and not know how it appeared overnight.

Why graffiti? What inspired you to take it up?

I grew up a rebel and I hated most of my college life. I am mostly inspired by the graffiti pieces I see at Pasar Seni LRT station. I take the train every day to college and I was really intrigued and inspired by those pieces.

How would you describe your style of graffiti? And what materials do you use?

I would describe my style leans toward urban and cartoony. I paint characters with vibrant colours that appeal to citizens. 99% of them on walls are painted with aerosols.

When and how did you start your Instagram account?

Hmmm, I started Instagram account roughly 2 years ago when I got myself a secondhand iPhone 4s. When it comes to tech, I am pretty slow - but better late than never!

How has Instagram helped you in your career as a graffiti artist?

Instagram is like my international gallery, my portfolio where anyone around the globe can reach me and have a look at my work. Also, I can keep track of other artists' Instagram accounts.

What's the graffiti scene like in Malaysia?

I feel that the local graffiti scene here lacks unity. Everyone keeps to themselves when the scene should be about us connecting and sharing the same message. I hope that there will be a consistency in terms of gatherings and graffiti events that'll help inspire more new blood.

Image via Cloakwork's Instagram

Image via Cloakwork's Instagram

Many still argue that graffiti is a form of vandalism. What do you have to say about that?

Whether it is art or vandalism, there is no point arguing for graffiti is very subjective. For me, I do my best and leave it to the public to judge. If they like it, they will enjoy it. So far, I'm quite pleased that I have been receiving positive responses from the public and even, the police. ;)

Could you share with us some of your favourite pieces to date?

Image via Cloakwork's Instagram

GangsterMan: One of the larger pieces I did during the 7-day boot camp with my friends in Fatmawati, Jakarta. A different take on the stereotypical characteristics of a gangster.

Image via Cloakwork's Instagram

Budak TanahAirKu : This piece was commissioned by Petronas to revive abandoned buildings all over the city in conjunction with Merdeka Day. This is a Gen-Y kid who still appreciates the traditional culture of playing the renowned 'Wau'.

Image via Cloakwork's Instagram

Young Heart : An obscure portrait of my future self. Painting is my dream and each piece comes from the heart. I'll keep painting for as long as I can because age is nothing but a number.

The 26-Year-Old Indonesian Died Of Starvation After She Was Consistently Refused Food And Medical Treatment

Justice Datuk Noor Azian Shaari in her judgement said the victim died of starvation as a result of the couple's failure to provide her food and medical treatment.

        nst.com.my

Judge Noor Azian Shaari said Fong Kong Meng, 58 and his wife Teoh Ching Yen, 56, consistently withheld food from the young woman during the three years she worked for them.

        theaustralian.com.au

The Girl From East Java Weighed 46kg When She Started Work With Her Employers In December 2008. Two And A Half Years Later, She Died With A Weight Of 26kg.

The judge also noted that the victim's weight had deteriorated to 26 kg at the time of her death, from 46 kg when she first started working for the couple.

        nst.com.my

It was reported in the press that the maid from East Java who started working for the couple in December 2008 was brought by her employers to the University of Malaya medical centre at Petaling Jaya on June 6, 2011 but died upon arrival at the hospital.

When Nikon Made This Photo A Winner, Nobody Took It Seriously, And A Protest Began...

Earlier yesterday, 28 January, the verified Facebook page of camera makers Nikon awarded a social media user a Nikon Trolley bag as the winning prize for his "photography" of an airplane flying over Chinatown. However, the winning photograph was digitally altered.

The prize-winning, badly Photoshopped photograph.

In the post's comment section, users quickly pointed out that the photo was the result of sloppy editing, with the image of the passing airplane superimposed over a white background to make it appear as if the photographer had timed the shot perfectly

Image via Nikon

Thus ensued a merciless but hilarious barrage of responses from users on the post. Nikon, on the other hand, took the witty comments in good stride and responded back in similar fashion.

Couple Allegedly Slapped Myvi Driver Who Called Them Out For 'Chupping' A Parking Spot

'Chupping' parking spots is illegal. But it seems that some people still do not get it.

After countless incidents took place last year, Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) stated that people cannot block a parking spot by standing over it, as it is an offence under Section 50 (3) of the Road Transport Act 1987.Offenders will be slapped with a fine of up to RM2,000 or face imprisonment of up to six months.

Image via Jason Ong / KL吹水站

The most recent case, however, saw a couple allegedly slap a driver who called them out for 'chupping' a parking spot in KL

Twitter user @nurshfka shared how she saw a couple attempt to "reserve" a parking spot in Berjaya Times Square on Monday, 9 September."A Perodua Myvi was waiting for a parking spot behind him as the car was leaving the parking lot. Suddenly a couple who was passing by in their car stopped and the wife got down to stand in the parking spot even though someone was already waiting," Shafika wrote."Her husband quickly drove one round and cut in front of the Myvi to drive his car into the parking lot."

Image via Twitter

Shafika said that the couple got down from the car and acted as if nothing had happened.
The Myvi driver then confronted them.

"[The] guy in the Myvi got angry and asked him (the driver) why did he just steal the spot as he had been waiting for a long time. The guy who stole the parking spot shouted back at him and slapped the Myvi driver," she wrote.

Image via Twitter

When Shafika's friend called a security guard to help the Myvi driver, the couple allegedly got scared and left

Shafika advised the Myvi driver to make a police report, but he allegedly said that the police will do nothing since he is a foreigner.

You can read the full tweet here:

Main cop parking & bila org marah, ditamparnya org tu. Bukan nk racist, but this Chinese guy & his wife just slap people while they claim parking as their while kereta myvi tu dh tunggu lama. After panggil security baru tau nk lari. Sorry, record tk clear bcause i was shaking. pic.twitter.com/jt2YUHnFsD— shafika (@nurshfka) September 10, 2019

Offenders who 'chup' a parking spot with objects can also be slapped with a fine or face imprisonment:

He said the finding was made after laboratory tests were done on clinical samples taken from the student yesterday at the Sungai Buloh National Public Health Laboratory (MKAK) and found to be negative for Ebola virus.

Noor Hisham said the student from Zimbabwe had been in Malaysia since February and was quarantined for fever, sore throat and cough since September 13.
