Ozil Kritik Isu Uighur & Rela Tanggung Akibat Dari Diam Diri Lihat Islam Dianiaya. Tabik!

Isu kemanusiaan melibatkan muslim Uighur di China sudah lama cuba diketengahkan oleh orang ramai namun entah mana silapnya, ia tidak dapat perhatian yang sewajarnya

Tidak dinafikan perkongsian mengenai isu kemanusiaan tersebut memang banyak di media sosial namun jarang sekali media melaporkan perkara tersebut. Selain itu, bukti-bukti seperti video dan foto juga turut disebarkan dengan harapan pihak tertentu dapat berbuat sesuatu mengenai perkara tersebut. Pun begitu, sekali lagi usaha tersebut gagal.

"I don't know where's my mom, where's my father, where's my brothers."As many as 1.5 million Uighurs and other Muslims have been detained in detention camps in China. Two Uighur refugees share what it's like to be completely separated and cut off from their family members: pic.twitter.com/U5Px8UVaOV— Doha Debates (@DohaDebates) December 10, 2019

Terbaru, pemain bola sepak Arsenal yang juga warganegara German namun berasal dari Turki menulis di laman Twitter miliknya bersuara mengenai isu tersebut pada 13 Disember lalu

#HayırlıCumalarDoğuTürkistan pic.twitter.com/dJgeK4KSIk— Mesut Özil (@MesutOzil1088) December 13, 2019

Bahasa: "Luka berdarah di dalam umat Islam. Komuniti pejuang yang menolak penganiyaan. Orang-orang mula berjuang keseorangan melawan mereka yang memaksa mereka pergi daripada Islam. Quran dibakar, masjid ditutup, madrasah dilarang dan guru-guru agama dibunuh seorang demi seorang."Saudara lelaki dipaksa pergi ke kem, tempat mereka digantikan dengan lelaki cina. Saudara perempuan pula dipaksa kahwin dengan lelaki cina. "Dengan semua ini berlaku, umat Nabi Muhammad SAW terus membisu. Tidak membantah mahupun berkata apa-apa. Muslim tidak disokong. Tidak kah mereka tahu bahawa membenarkan sesuatu penganiyaan itu turut tergolong dalam orang-orang itu?"Seperti yang dikatakan oleh hadrat Ali: 'Jika kamu tidak boleh menghentikan penganiyaan, maka buatlah ia diketahui'. "Semasa media antarabangsa menghebahkan perkara ini dalam agenda mereka, di manakah negara Islam dan media mereka? Tidak kah mereka tahu dengan bersikap neutral mengenai perkara ini adalah hina?"Tidak kah mereka tahu bahawa apa yang saudara Islam kita akan ingat kelak bukanlah penyeksaan yang diterima akan tetapi sikap berdiam diri orang Islam yang lain. "Ya Allah, bantulah mereka. Sesungguhnya perancangan-Mu adalah yang sebaik-baiknya," tulisnya.

Susulan tweet tersebut, China menarik semula siaran langsung perlawanan bola sepak antara Arsenal dan Manchester City di stesen TV mereka

Memetik laporan NST, Ozil turut berdepan dengan kritikan pemimpin parti Komunis China yang menyifatkan tweet-nya itu sebagai badut. "Sikap Ozil itu memberikan impak besar terhadap imejnya di kalangan rakyat China serta turut memberikan imej buruk terhadap Arsenal. "Orang China patut lihat sikap yang dipamerkan Ozil adalah seumpama badut. Kata-katanya itu bukan sahaja menyinggung perasaan para peminat tetapi juga rakyat China," katanya. Dalam pada itu, Arsenal menulis di laman Weibo menafikan ada kena mengena dengan tweet kontroversi tersebut."Itu (tweet) adalah pendapat Ozil sendiri dan tiada kaitan dengan Arsenal. Kelab ini mempunyai polisi tidak terlibat dengan politik," tulis kenyataan itu.

Dalam pada itu, turut trending di laman Twitter adalah #StandWithOzil di mana netizen memberikan sokongan buat pemain bola tersebut

This Spotlight is sponsored by IJM Land.

Located in the heart of Rimbayu Business Hub, Uptown Square is the latest launch, offering 119 units of chic, trendsetting shop offices

Image via IJM Land

Sitting on a prime site of 17.5 acres, the new shop offices aim to be part of the daily lifestyle in a thriving neighbourhood, as well as be an eventful meeting point for Malaysians who love going out and about.There are a total of 119 units, with sizes ranging from 3,300 to 7,539 sq ft. The units are divided into two- and three-storey plans, each with its own set of features and benefits.It is set to become a popular commercial hub, featuring an assortment of establishments such as F&B outlets, hotels and institutions, residential malls, sports centres, showrooms, and corporate offices.

Seeking to complete the social and economic infrastructure in Bandar Rimbayu, Uptown Square offers business owners a prime location to set up shop

Image via IJM Land

The spatial planning with a north-south orientation strategically allows for maximum visual exposure to the incoming main driveway, which means people will see the stores at Uptown Square as soon as they drive in.Plus, with a total of six entry and exit points on site, the traffic loop is efficiently designed to minimise time spent driving around, as well as time spent walking to the shops from the parking strip.As a result, all the shops in Uptown Square are equally in prime locations, be it the ones facing the main road or the ones deeper inside.

Extending from the seven-foot, column-free verandah to the external walkway, the shop fronts are specifically designed to be eye-catching to passersby

Image via IJM Land

Minimalist is the name of the game here, featuring contemporary aesthetics and framed façades — from the interplay of different shades of grey on storefronts to the white frames around each shop.A key feature is the large glass windows that wrap around the corner, which let people get a good look into stores as they walk past. This meets entrepreneurs' desire to easily showcase their products or store settings, drawing shoppers' attention even from afar.Some of the shoplots even have semi-outdoor spaces, which can be used for a various purposes, such as a corporate organisation's informal discussion area or a restaurant's outdoor dining area.

Plus, the shop offices also incorporate green-centric elements that encourage the usage of renewable energy sources

Image via IJM Land

Not only are the buildings' energy performance optimised, they also have a GreenRE Bronze certification, which is earned by adhering to prerequisites and credits for green building excellence.Thus, business owners will be able to play an active role in reducing their carbon footprint, while simultaneously benefiting from a lower electricity bill. The solar PV installations also work efficiently in adding value to the property.

As for everyday Malaysians, you can look forward to having a new happening hangout spot to enjoy, where you can shop with your besties, go on a date with your bb, or have an exciting family outing

While the area is lively and bustling, the addition of The Barn, a private event space, and oasis park make for a calming environment.The courtyard's row placement frames the area in a way that creates a sense of  space and flexibility, so everything doesn't feel too cluttered.Linked through a walkway, the intimate courtyard is able to accommodate all kinds of fun activities, making it a great spot for sports, markets, exhibitions, and more. Besides that, it's also filled with dual-frontage shops, giving you a plethora of options to explore as you walk around shopping.You can also enjoy a beautiful walk through the area by the water feature, with ample seating for moments when you need a break to enjoy the view.

All in all, Uptown Square is set to be an ultimate business gateway to the thriving, prestigious township of Bandar Rimbayu and its surrounding neighbourhoods, as well as to the greater region of Southern Klang Valley

Image via IJM Land

Bandar Rimbayu is one of the fastest growing townships in the greater region of Southern Klang Valley. Located adjacent to Kota Kemuning, the township has seen a drastic growth over the years, both in terms of development and population.It is only 32km away from Subang Airport, and 35km away from KLIA. Meanwhile, central areas like Shah Alam, Putrajaya, and Kuala Lumpur city centre are all nearby too, at 15km away, 25km away, and 40km away respectively.

Elderly Man With Visual Impairment Travels 35KM By Foot To Get His Vaccine Jab

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

An elderly man in Pahang travelled 35km by foot to get himself vaccinated against COVID-19

Berita Harian reported that on Wednesday, 14 July, 78-year-old Shaikh Ramly Sheikh Ahmad, who has a visual impairment, walked alone from Kampung Kertau to the Kuala Wau Health Clinic, carrying only a bag and a cane.

He found out about the vaccination programme from a person who sent food aid to his house the day before

Prior to that, he had not registered for the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme.He said, "I left home at 6am because I had to walk to the clinic, which is quite far from home. I was really hoping to get the jab today because I never registered for the vaccination programme due to the lack of technological facilities, besides having problems with my vision."

The man caught the attention of a news photographer who was on his way to cover the progamme

According to Harian Metro, photographer Farizul Hafiz Awang was in a car with a friend when he saw Shaikh Ramly walking alone. Coincidentally, he was headed to the same destination, so Farizul Hafiz gave him a ride.Once they arrived at the clinic, Shaikh Ramly was assisted by a police officer who helped him get registered and then receive his vaccine injection.

A Local Business Has Been Facing Decades-Long Racist Attacks Due To Its Brand Name

For over a decade, a Malaysian brand called Pau Ahmad has been a victim of boycotts over allegations that it's not halal, among other things

A simple 'Pau Ahmad' search on Google Images will show you several results on why you should boycott the brand.Pau Ahmad's posters are often covered with a big red cross. Other times, two big 'boycott' words will sandwich their company's visuals.These posters with red crosses are often found in 'Sokong Produk Bumiputera Islam', 'Buy Muslim First', and 'Boikot Barangan Cina DAP' websites or social media groups.

Image via Sokong Islam

"Pau Ahmad is Chinese-owned. It's not Malay. Don't be fooled," a headline of an undated blog post reads.The blog post concocts the story of a businessman and an ustaz visiting the Pau Ahmad factory in the hopes of meeting 'Ahmad', a person they presumed is the owner of the company.When they arrive at the factory, they are greeted by a woman who is wearing a headscarf. The woman then brings the duo on a tour around the factory where they meet a Chinese manager."We were shocked that why there is a Chinese manager in the factory. We were brought to the office. The ustaz and I then saw a Datuk Kong shrine and all of the employees were Chinese," the story continues."We asked the Chinese manager, 'Eh, Where did Ahmad go?' Slowly, she informed us that Ahmad took the boss out." "We were even more confused. If Ahmad brought the boss out, then who is the boss? We asked again, 'what is the boss' name?'""Alamak, it's boss Ah Chong apparently. Actually, the 'Pau Ahmad' name was used for the brand because it's the name of the boss' driver." "Oops, got hit by another."Ahmad, in Malaysian slang, is often used to refer to a chauffeur.

Of course, nothing in the story is true.
While PA Food Sdn Bhd, the company behind Pau Ahmad, is a family-run business, the management team is made up of people from different races, and 'Ahmad' is clearly not a driver's name there.

Image via PA Food

Marketing executive Adam Eliaz told SAYS the story is entirely fictional, saying, "It is false accusation because our production, research and development, and quality assurance team is majority Malay."As for the name 'Pau Ahmad', Adam said it was given to the owner of PA Food, Ding Hong Sing, by the community in Kajang when he first started out his business in 1985."We don't have any documents to prove that we are the first (certified) halal pau in Malaysia. But our owner did explain to us that he made halal pau because there was no halal pau available during his time," Adam told us while debunking the myth behind the brand name."Although the halal market is big, he also wanted all Malaysians to enjoy Chinese cuisine. Basically, the idea was to use food as glue to unite Malaysians.""Before this, he just delivered the pau using his own van and did not have any brand name. The Malay community in Kajang, who were his customers, was the one who called him Pau Ahmad because he was very close to the Malay community." Hence, it's possible that the 'Pau Ahmad' name was given to Ding because he worked as a 'chauffeur' for pau. On the question of why the logo looks like a mosque dome, Adam said, while laughing, that the logo is actually shaped after a pau, not a mosque dome.

In their latest marketing campaign to promote siew mai products, calls for boycotts began floating again

Image via Instagram

PA Food approached three local influencers — @leezaramzi, @beby_toratora, and @mori_said — to create siew mai tasting videos. While the Instagram posts gathered thousands of likes, a handful of comments told netizens not to buy Pau Ahmad products, citing that the brand is run by a Chinese man and that the products could be non-halal."Pau Ahmad's owner is Chinese, right?" read a comment, while another accused, "I think I heard Pau Ahmad is not halal. It only uses halal and packaging that looks Malay to attract people to buy. Is it true? Please check again."These comments are found in the influencers' videos mentioned above.

Image via Instagram

If that was not enough, PA Food's November marketing campaign has reinvigorated a boycott movement in a Facebook group with almost 70,000 members."Pau Ahmad woi. Your product is halal, but this is not a Muslim or Bumiputera product," wrote a group member in a post published on Saturday, 14 November."We fight to live by using Muslim products. Next time, use la a product name that goes Pau Ah Ken Chengkwat or something."The comment section of the post is filled with racist remarks, from tying the company to political party DAP, to making comparisons to a recent case of OldTown White Coffee being accused of serving pork, and calling others to start a mass boycott.In a statement to SAYS, the company's marketing team stated that they have faced decades-long racism towards their brand — and that they have been rendered helpless by these attacks.

PA Food is not an isolated incident. Many local brands in the past have suffered the same fate.

McDonald's Malaysia is often targeted in these attacks, Dutch Lady was once a victim, and the recent case of OldTown White Coffee is another.There is even a study published in the Journal of Islamic Marketing this year that explores "the effect of fake news in marketing halal food"."I understand that people may get offended due to the Ahmad name," Adam said in response to the racism issue PA Food faces."Just [that] we all feel uneasy when they use harsh words, make false accusations and unnecessarily racist comments. Some people can reply properly when we explain, but the problem is among the extremist ones."Other than selling pau and siew mai, the company also produces other local delicacies, such as roti canai, spring rolls, samosas, noodles, and more.

Recently, OldTown White Coffee was raided following accusations of it serving pork:

Monash University Will Act Against Its Students Who Join 'Illegal Gatherings'

In a move that probably impinges on student rights, Monash University Malaysia has warned its students that action would be taken against them for participating in "illegal gatherings"

Image via Malaysiakini

In the above advisory issued by its registrar Dr Susheela Nair, students are told, without specifically naming any gatherings, that:

Recently, "there have been numerous illegal gatherings involving sections of the public and these are organised without relevant approvals from the authorities".It further warns students that they are advised not to participate in any "illegal gathering/related activity which contravenes Malaysian laws.""Any student found to be participating in such gathering/activity or who is arrested by authorities for doing so may be subjected to disciplinary proceedings," it reads.

And it's not just Monash University. According to Malaysiakini, even Curtin University Sarawak Malaysia has issued a similar warning.

Curtin University has said that the Higher Education Ministry had issued a circular, warning students against participating in "illegal gatherings". Its Deputy pro vice-chancellor Beena Giridharan has said "appropriate action" would be taken against any students involved in activities defamatory to the university, reported Malaysiakini.

Image via My Edu Hub

Meanwhile, speaking to Malaysiakini, some students of Monash University Malaysia have shown their displeasure at the warning

The portal reported one student, who spoke on condition of anonymity, saying that he was surprised because Monash has always been outspoken about human rights"I didn't expect them to caution us against gatherings which fight for our basic democratic rights," the unnamed student was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini.


Hospital Cleaners Arrested For Protesting Alleged Mistreatment By Employer During Pandemic

Police have arrested five hospital cleaners who protested against their union-busting employer outside Ipoh Hospital today, 2 June

The five janitors, who can be considered as frontliners as well for working in hospitals during a pandemic, are part of the National Union of Workers in Hospital Support and Allied Services (NUWHSAS), which represents those working in government hospitals in the northern states.According to the Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM), the five were peacefully protesting outside the hospital against their employer Edgenta UEMS, before suddenly being picked up by the police.Malaysiakini reported those who were arrested include NUWHSAS' executive secretary M Saraswathy, L Danaletchumy, and V Santhiran, as well as PSM members P Jothi and C Subramaniam @ Raja.They were arrested under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in discharge of his public functions and Section 269 of the Penal Code for risk of spreading an infection while committing an act.

Image via Socialist Party of Malaysia

The protest was meant to raise awareness against their employer Edgenta UEMS, a government-linked company (GLC) that provides facility management services to companies

In a statement, PSM claimed Edgenta UEMS tried to repeatedly silence NUWHSAS members from carrying out union activities by threatening and attacking them.It is alleged that Edgenta UEMS used tactics to deliberately to put worksite committee members in difficult situations, such as by changing their working hours and shifts without prior consent.Employees also alleged that they were transferred to hospitals far away from their homes as a form of punishment for being an active member of the union.Many were disallowed from working overtime to lower their earnings, while those who worked overtime were not paid for their extra hours.It is also alleged that Edgenta UEMS supervisors constantly harassed them verbally and intimidated them with disciplinary action.The janitors were not allowed to discuss anything in relation to the union, even during their break time.

Image via Malaysiakini

PSM claimed that, worst of all, the janitors were not adequately protected while working in hospitals that dealt with COVID-19 cases

The statement alleged that employees were not given proper personal protective equipment (PPE) while cleaning COVID-19 wards. Face masks and gloves were also not sufficiently supplied.They were also allegedly denied a RM600 special allowance provided to doctors and nurses, which was introduced under the economic stimulus package, and were only given a one-off RM300 payment.

This is not the first time Edgenta UEMS has been entangled in such a controversy since the Movement Control Order (MCO) began

Teluk Intan Hospital, Perak.

Previously, in late March, another union called Kesatuan Pekerja Swasta Hospital Kerajaan alleged that the company prevented its employees from getting screened for COVID-19 in Teluk Intan Hospital.At the time, over 39 healthcare officers were infected by the virus in the hospital.However, the company issued a statement a day later, refuting claims that they were responsible for the mistreatment of their employees.The company maintained its innocence by stating that it had complied with infection control protocols as set by the Ministry of Health.

Remember to #JustStayAtHome. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

On 25 March, seven janitors in Teluk Intan Hospital were allegedly denied COVID-19 screenings because their supervisor said no one will be able to do their jobs if they are down with the virus:

The union group cried foul over the unfair treatment of janitors working in government hospitals.

A day later, the Ministry of Health ordered everyone in the hospital to undergo COVID-19 tests:

All 33 photos were taken with Huawei's groundbreaking P9 phone that comes equipped with dual Leica camera lenses!

Image via Android Pit

The Huawei's latest flagship phone - P9 - is capable of taking awesome photos. By teaming up with legendary German camera manufacturer Leica, the P9 features a 12MP sensor to pick up normal colours, while the second sensor, which is also 12MP, focuses on taking stunning monochrome photos. You can shoot individually with the monochrome camera to take stunning black and white photos that aren’t enhanced by a filter – they are actually taken in black and white!

Image via tinypic.com

One of the greatest features of the P9 is the wide aperture effect. This is useful when taking photos of items in the foreground.

We Tried This Trending Laundry Capsule On Dirty Clothes To See If It's Worth The Hype

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

Have you heard of the Breeze 3-in-1 Power Laundry Capsules?

ICYMI, the capsules have been on the market for a while now, and have been making waves on social media for how convenient and effective they are. Most importantly, word on the street is that one tiny capsule is enough to clean a whole big load of laundry, removing the toughest of stains. In fact, Breeze claims their small but mighty capsule can effectively remove 99 types of stubborn stains* that are up to seven days old. They are also 99% anti-bacterial and can soften and freshen clothes.*Based on lab tests.

To find out just how powerful this small capsule is, we decided to test it on a week's load of laundry from a family

From dad's teh tarik and kicap spills, to mum's dirty apron, and a pile of sweaty, muddy workout clothes, the Breeze power laundry capsule had its work cut out for it. Here's a look at our load:

Image via SAYS

We chose Breeze's main variant — Sakura Blossom — for our review

Image via SAYS

There are three variants with distinct scents and functions — Sakura Blossom, Fresh Lavender, and Fresh Eucalyptus.The Sakura Blossom variant we used has a colour protectant function to prevent your clothes from fading. One highlight of the capsule is how aesthetically pleasing it is. You can clearly see three compartments with different colours and purposes in one tiny pod. Here's a look at the capsule's size:

Image via SAYS

While the capsule may be small, Breeze claims that one capsule is enough to clean a 5kg to 7kg load of clothes

Image via SAYS

According to Breeze, each capsule is ultra-concentrated and powered by enzymes for stronger cleaning power, and is suitable for both front-load and top-load washing machines. If your load is more than 7kg, it's recommended to use two or more capsules for the best results. Our load weighed approximately 4kg to 5kg, so we only used one capsule. All we had to do was throw the capsule into the washing machine, add the clothes, and then wash them for a full cycle. Our machine's wash cycle took about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.

Image via SAYS

And voilà, the clothes are done!

Image via SAYS

The very first thing that caught our attention was the fragrance. Each clothing item smelled really good. What's more, the whole big load of laundry looked and felt super clean. There were also no remnants from the capsule. According to Breeze, the capsule works to dissolve almost immediately once it comes into contact with water. But, most importantly, we had to check if the stains were still there.

Here are the before and after pictures of each stained clothing item:

1. Kicap-stained shirt

Image via SAYS

2. Teh tarik-stained shirt

Image via SAYS

3. Dirty apron

Image via SAYS

4. Muddy workout clothes

Image via SAYS

As you can see, almost all the stains came off. While there were small remnants of the teh tarik stain on the white shirt, it was barely visible — most of it came off. We reckon another wash or two, or maybe a longer wash, would get the stain right off. Aside from the stains, we thought the clothes' colours looked more vibrant too, most likely from the Sakura Blossom variant's colour protectant function.

So, what's our verdict? Using the Breeze 3-in-1 Power Laundry Capsules was convenient and easy, and for such a tiny capsule, it worked surprisingly well on massive stains.

Image via SAYS

We didn't have to deal with any messy detergent pouring or use different cleaning, softening, and fragrance agents. Plus, if you're ever travelling interstate or even overseas and want to do your laundry, the capsule would come in handy, especially if you’re washing your clothes at a laundromat.We think the capsule works well for everyone, especially those who are busy and trying to save time whenever they can, or those looking to have a laundry detergent that takes up minimal space.

Breeze has two pack sizes for all of their variants — 18-capsule tub (RM19.90) and 40-capsule pouch (RM39.90)

Image via SAYS

The 18-capsule tub for RM19.90 is pretty worth it for small families or if you're staying alone. For those who do big loads of laundry often, you can consider the 40-capsule pouch. Each variant comes with an additional distinct function. Here’s a look:- Sakura Blossom: Has a colour protectant to prevent your clothes from fading - Fresh Eucalyptus: Loaded with the fragrance of Comfort, giving your clothes fresh fragrance and softness - Fresh Lavender: Each capsule is packed with anti-malodour propertiesBesides the main functions, all variants come with naturally derived enzymes, no optical brighteners, and are anti-dust mites as well as anti-bacterial. They also work well for indoor drying.

Image via SAYS

You can get your hands on the Breeze 3-in-1 Power Laundry Capsules on Shopee or Lazada, as well as at leading super and hypermarkets like AEON, AEON Big, Lotus's, Giant, Mydin, Village Grocer, The Food Merchant, Econsave, TF Value Mart, and Billion


Ringgit Is Strengthening But Not Everyone Is Happy About It

Ringgit has been soaring of late

Image via BHarian

The Malaysian currency hit a 18-month high against the US dollar on Monday, 15 January, while it recently appreciated against the Singapore dollar to RM2.99 - the highest level which was last seen in October 2016 - and going below the RM3 mark for the first time in 14 months.Corp Head of Trading for Asia Pacific, Stephen Innes, has attributed the ringgit's positive outlook to Malaysia's strong export performance in the midst of rising crude oil prices.

The positive outlook of the ringgit is a welcome change for many Malaysians who have struggled because of the weak ringgit

In the midst of the ringgit slump in recent years, Malaysians and Singaporeans working in Singapore were able to benefit from the situation as they have a bigger spending power thanks to their Singapore dollar-based salary.These people are able to stretch their dollar even further when snapping up ringgit from money changers and they head to Johor Bahru or other parts of Malaysia.In fact, these commuters between Malaysia and Singapore coupled with the weak ringgit were said to have played a huge role in fuelling Johor's thriving economic growth.

However, it appears that things are about to change as some people have begun to think twice about making trips across the Causeway

Image via Business Times

Danny Lee is a trader who has been making frequent trips - at least once a month - to Johor Bahru for food and shopping. In wake of the recent strengthening of the ringgit, the 53-year-old is contemplating to cut back on the number of trips he makes since it may not be worthwhile anymore."If the ringgit continues to rise, then it will not be worth the amount of time and money needed to travel to Johor Bahru for food and shopping," said Lee, as reported by The Straits Times.

Customers have also been shying away from the Malaysian currency, according to a Singaporean money changer

The Straits Times reported a Singaporean money changer as saying that the store has been seeing a decline in demand for the ringgit as the it gets stronger. Mohamed Rafeeq, the owner of Clifford Gems and Money Exchange at Raffles City mall said that sales of the ringgit have gone down by 30% in the last three months. "The ringgit is getting stronger, so people don't want to buy it... I'm hoping that it will get better," Rafeeq was quoted as saying.

Despite this, it is still not a gloomy outlook as some money changers have better experiences

The money changer at Sim Lim Square admitted that business has slowed down lately but store operator, Barakath, said that this was probably due to the post-holiday lull.Meanwhile, a money changer at Arcade Plaza Traders revealed that the demand for ringgit has not dropped."Chinese New Year is coming, and a lot of Malaysians are working here in Singapore. So maybe, they need to change their savings into ringgit for Chinese New Year shopping. A lot of Singaporeans may also go to Malaysia for Chinese New Year shopping," said an employee who wished to remain anonymous.

As with the money changers, not all consumers are deeply affected by the recent surge in the value of ringgit against the Singapore dollar

Image via Shazreen Zamzuri/NST

Evelina Tan, a 26-year-old Malaysian working in Singapore as an IT analyst told The Straits Times that the conversion rate remains attractive even if the ringgit gets stronger."It doesn't impact me in any way because, after all, the conversion rate is still high."Even if it drops to RM2.50 per SGD1, it is still a good rate. I am saving a lot and living comfortably."

Do you think the surge of ringgit is a good or bad development? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Speaking of shopping in JB, a new mall that is said to have "the largest indoor theme park in Southeast Asia" will be opening later this year:

13-Year-Old Sarawakian Is One Of NASA's Winners For An International Design Challenge

Teng Wei Rui, a Form One student from Miri, Sarawak, has been selected by NASA as one of the five winners in the Mission Patch Design Challenge 2019

"NASA is going to the moon in 2024, and then on to Mars in a sustainable way. To achieve our mission, we need the next generation of STEM students to join us," NASA's associate administrator for the Office of STEM Engagement Mike Kincaid said in a statement.

Image via Nasa

According to NASA's website, designing a mission patch is one of the first things an astronaut crew does when embarking on a new mission.As such, students were challenged to put themselves in an astronaut's space boots and use Tynker to code patches for their imaginary spacesuits.

Image via Tynker

The nearly 10,000 design entries submitted from students around the world were judged by NASA experts based on originality, execution, and effective use of code

"It was difficult to select our five winners. We are thrilled with the results and hope that this first challenge has inspired a new generation of kids to learn more about space missions, NASA, and the impact that makers have on space exploration," Tynker vice president of Educator Programmes Kaustav Mitra said.Aside from the teenager from Malaysia, the winners are Ishhaq Ziyam (sixth grade) from Sri Lanka, Neal Apte (third grade) from California, Madison Morgan (eighth grade) from Idaho, and Paxton Summers (third grade) from Maryland.

"I'm very proud to have brought honour to my country, state, and school," Wei Rui said

Image via New Sarawak Tribune

The 13-year-old who goes to Pei Min Secondary School has been going for coding lessons as he wants to be an astronaut when he grows up.Teo Yuang Teck, his coding teacher and owner of Real Fun Learning Centre, said the teenager's success was a dream come true for him."He took about two days to design this patch, and even hugged his laptop when he went to bed!" Teo Yuang Teck told The Star.

"I hope more children will follow his footsteps and learn how to create apps themselves and put their name on the world map," he added during the interview.

The Design A Mission Patch project is the first of three planned 'Moon2Mars' coding challenges being released this year by NASA and Tynker

The first challenge was launched on 29 April.The next challenges will be released in September and October.

The money was earnings belonging to a petrol station at Sungai Rambai, Penang

To make her theft case more believable, the woman threw away her handphone and other personal belongings into a rubbish bin along Jalan Padang Lalang.

Unfortunately for her, CCTV footage revealed that the incident never occurred

"We examined the closed circuit television (CCTV) camera footage of the scene and found no such incident (robbery) happened," Seberang Prai Selatan district police chief Assistant Commissioner Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid was quoted as saying by New Straits Times.

The remaining cash of RM18,900 was later found at the petrol station.The case is currently being investigated under Section 182 of the Penal Code and the suspect will be remanded at the Bukit Mertajam court today, 14 February.

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

The late legendary singer and actress Adibah Noor Mohamed Omar has been laid to rest at Taman Keramat Permai Muslim Cemetery in Selangor on Sunday, 19 June

The 51-year-old artiste passed away due to ovarian cancer at 7.45pm on Saturday, 18 June, at Gleneagles Hospital in Kuala Lumpur.

The burial was attended by relatives and over 100 close friends and fellow artistes from the Malaysian entertainment industry

At the funeral was also Adibah's 89-year-old father, Mohamed Omar Zainal Abidin, who told Harian Metro that he did not know his daughter was battling stage four ovarian cancer."I did not know. Adibah did not tell me even though I'm her father. She did not tell me even though I went to the hospital [to see her]. Alas, if God wants her, He will take her," he told the Malay daily after the funeral.Omar described Adibah, his third child, as an exemplary daughter who was full of love, generosity, and kindness."She was never one to make her family members worried or troubled. Let's all pray for the best for her," he said.

The final rites were conducted at the Al-Ansar Mosque in Taman Keramat at 9.30am, before her remains were buried at the cemetery at 11.30am

In another interview with Harian Metro, Adibah's older brother, who only wants to be known as Angah, said Adibah only told the family of her illness a few months ago because she herself only knew of it very late."Her treatment and surgery went smoothly, but maybe this is just her fate, we don't know either," he said, adding that she had just gone for her sixth or seventh cycle of chemotherapy on Thursday, 16 June."Until recently, we still went out together, she can walk and eat."He added that Adibah was a great aunt to all her nieces and nephews, and that she had told them to study hard before she passed.

Among those present to pay their last respects were also Datuk Afdlin Shauki, Datuk Hans Isaac, Datuk M Nasir, Nikki Palikat, Remy Ishak, Linda Onn, Saiful Apek, and many others

Singer Nikki Palikat said Adibah was like a sister to her who often advised her to take care of her health."She told me to prioritise myself and had shared that while doing a show, she had experienced sudden bleeding but could find nothing wrong when she went for a check-up," Nikki told Bernama when met at the mosque."But it was an early sign of cancer. We didn't expect (that she had cancer) because she was always cheerful; even when she was feeling down she would always try to cheer people up."Meanwhile, former Suria FM radio announcer Linda Onn, who shared radio duties with Adibah, told New Straits Times that Adibah was someone with a "golden heart"."Whenever we went out for a meal, she would secretly pay the bill for all of her friends," said Onn.She added that Adibah never took herself seriously and always had good things to say about others."Adibah is one in a million, one of the most loving, compassionate people I've known. She wore her heart on her sleeve, truly an angel among friends."


Mental Health Experts Share How To Deal With Anxiety In These Times Of Uncertainty

COVID-19 has changed life as we know it in the past few weeks

From panic buying and social distancing to constant updates of the number of infected, and finally the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO), this pandemic has certainly turned our lives upside down.Free Malaysia Today reported that there has been an increase in anxiety and irritability among Malaysians since the outbreak began, with people getting concerned over the lack of work, financial difficulties, feelings of isolation, and the fear of contracting the virus.It doesn't matter your background, there has been a general decline in mental health across the country.

Image via Ahmad Zamzahuri/Malay Mail

Therefore, we asked some mental health experts on how to better take care of ourselves while this pandemic looms on:

1. First and foremost, are these feelings of fear and anxiety normal?

Both the clinical psychologists we interviewed, Dr Joel Low from The Mind and Dr Chua Sook Ning from Relate Malaysia, assured us that they are."Oh yes, completely! The virus, the epidemic, and the lockdown are unprecedented in our day and age. And in these times, uncertainty is our new normal," said Dr Low, adding that the anxiety we feel is only preserved because of the significant urgency for us to maintain our hygiene at all times.Dr Chua, too, explained that we are feeling this way because of all the change."In general, there is a need for stability to feel like our world is functioning as it should be, and we are used to a sense of predictability. When things are uncertain and unpredictable, anxiety increases," she said."There is also a fear of illness and death. This fear is important for survival so that we do things that keep us alive. However, when illness or death seems to be out of our control, it becomes scarier for us."

2. If that is so, then how can we deal with all these emotions and take care of our mental health at home?

According to Dr Low, this issue can be tackled not just by keeping ourselves psychologically healthy, but also biologically, behaviorally, and socially."Psychologically, it's important that we have an outlet for all the thoughts, anxieties, fears, and doubts that are bound to arise and stew in our heads when we're cooped up at home," he said. He suggested a good way to unload some of the overwhelming thoughts is by starting a journal, or simply writing them out on a piece of paper.Dr Chua suggested that if you are anxious or depressed, or just feeling overwhelmed with all these uncertainties, that you should reach out for help."Don't wait. Look for resources available that can help you problem-solve rather than ruminating or worrying inside, which can be quite overwhelming," she said.Next, both experts recommended that we keep our physical health up."Biologically, it's critical that we workout, eat, and sleep to the best that we can," Dr Low said.Dr Chua said that we ought to keep a schedule despite being at home all day long."It should be a balance between meaningful activities including work, play, and social activities. It isn't because we have to be productive all the time, but because it gives us a sense of purpose and meaning which helps keep our mood up," she explained.

"Behaviourally, especially for those of us who are working from home, it is important that we carve out a workspace, separate from the rest of the house," Dr Low continued.He said to make sure there is a dedicated spot for work, so that your entire house doesn't feel like one giant office - there has to be a place for you to rest and decompress.Meanwhile, Dr Chua reminded us to keep clean, not just because of the virus, but because cleanliness makes a difference to the way we feel about ourselves.Lastly, that brings us to the social aspect, to which Dr Low advised, "It's also important to keep social as much as we can. Having someone to speak to, and not just via text, will help us keep our social 'muscles' working."He emphasised on verbally speaking to friends and family such as through video calls whenever possible, and not just through written messages, as talking helps you better connect with others.Dr Chua said to simply remember "physical distance, but social closeness".

Image via SAYS/YouTube

3. What outlook should we have in these times of uncertainty?

Dr Low said that we should adopt a "wait and see" kind of approach, instead of trying to constantly anticipate situations or possibilities, which ramps up the anxiety we feel."So instead of 'expecting' the MCO to end, or that COVID-19 would suddenly stop, we should instead roll with the punches so to speak. By stopping ourselves from living in possible futures, and living in the here and now, we can be much calmer, and be able to handle our confinement better as well," he said.To help adapt with the uncertainty, Dr Chua said we should have the sense of self-efficacy, flexibility, and community.Thought examples she gave were:- "You can do this and you can get through this",- "Things may not be the same, but it doesn't have to be bad", and- "Let's help each other get through this, it's not the time to be independent."

4.  When should we start seeking for psychological help?

"Even without the MCO, I think seeking for help is important for individuals who are facing disruptions to their ability to function socially and occupationally," said Dr Low.He said it can be beneficial to seek a professional just to see how things are going."Best case scenario, there's nothing wrong and off you go. Worst case scenario, we catch whatever it is you have early, and we can make changes to improve on the situation."Meanwhile, Dr Chua said it is often difficult to notice our own negative thoughts, so monitor physical signs such as our appetite, sleep, fatigue, or muscle tension."This is a great model to help guide you. When you are reacting, injured, or ill, reach out for help," she encouraged.

Image via Dr Chua Sook Ning (Provided to SAYS)

5. Finally, where can we look for help?

Both clinical psychologists said that with the MCO currently ongoing, there are many other avenues to find help such as through online and phone services by both public and private centres.Dr Chua said that Relate Malaysia has been organising free open community support groups and workshops online, and encouraged people to reach out for help on their Facebook or Twitter accounts.

MOE: Students Don't Have To Wear Uniform When Schools Reopen In October

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

Ahead of schools reopening in stages from 3 October, Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin announced that students do not have to wear uniforms to class

In a press conference announcing standard operating procedures (SOPs) on Sunday, 12 September, Radzi said students can choose to wear their own clothes, so that parents do not have to scramble to buy new ones."We do not want to put pressure on parents to provide new school uniforms for their children, our only goal is for the children to return to school," he said, adding that students only need to wear neat and appropriate clothing."There are almost five million students in the country who come from various socioeconomic backgrounds. What's important is to bring these students back to school because they have been away for too long."

Image via Amran Hamid/New Straits Times

Radzi said that parents can also choose not to send their children for face-to-face classes if they are worried about COVID-19

"No warning letter will be issued to those who do not attend school, but parents are asked to write a letter to inform the school of their children's absence," he said.He added that while it is easy for the Ministry of Education (MOE) to continue keeping schools closed due to the high number of COVID-19 infections, students have been detached from the education system since May."We realise that many out there want schools to remain closed and reopen next year, but the fact is that we are moving with the National Recovery Plan (NRP) where we need to bring life back by embracing the new normal and adhering to procedures," said the Education Minister.

Image via New Straits Times

Schools will be reopening in stages over the month, according to each state's phase under the NRP

However, schools in states under Phase 1 will remain closed and students are to continue with online learning.Schools in states under Phase 2 will only reopen for Form Six second semester students, special needs students, and students taking international exams.For states under the other phases, Radzi said that primary and secondary school classes will be split into two groups so that attendance will be capped at 50% at any given time; students will take turns between coming to school and learning at home every week.The academic year will also be extended to March 2022.

Schools are set to reopen for physical classes after taking into consideration the current vaccination rate in the country:

PRN Melaka: Jadi Calon Termuda, Gadis Berusia 21 Tahun Ini Curi Tumpuan Netizen

Follow kami di Telegram, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita dan artikel-artikel menarik di SAYS Seismik.

Umum sedia maklum, Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Melaka akan diadakan pada 20 November depan, ia merupakan yang pertama diadakan selepas Sabah yang diadakan September tahun lepas

Image via Malaysiakini/Mukhriz Hazim

Walau bagaimanapun, proses penamaan calon baru-baru ini jadi tumpuan apabila seorang calon daripada Pakatan Harapan (PH) iaitu Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir menjadi calon paling muda dalam PRN Melaka kali ini.Pada usia 21 tahun, Farzana Hayani merupakan Ketua Srikandi Keadilan Melaka. Walaupun masih belum tamat pengajian, mahasiswa Ijazah Sarjana Muda UiTM Shah Alam itu juga adalah pemegang Diploma Komunikasi dan Pengajian Media, UiTM Kampus Rembau.Beliau bertanding untuk kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) N.28 Sungai Rambai dan berdepan dengan tiga lagi calon.Mereka ialah Muhammad Jefri Safry mewakili Perikatan Nasional, Nazatul Asyraf Md Dom; Putra dan Siti Faizah Abdul Azis, Barisan Nasional.

"Usia bukan penghalang untuk seseorang itu berkhidmat dan menjadi wakil rakyat" - Farzana Hayani

Image via Malaysiakini/Mukhriz Hazim

Menurut laporan, Farzana Hayani berkata, walaupun setahun jagung dalam arena politik, dia yakin pengundi semakin bijak dan matang menerima orang muda sebagai wakil rakyat."Usia bukan faktor utama untuk menjadi wakil rakyat, apa lebih penting berupaya memahami masalah dan berusaha selesaikannya. Saya percaya pengundi akan menilai berdasarkan tekad dan kesungguhan membantu rakyat dan membawa perubahan," katanya.Tambahnya lagi, sebagai mahasiswa, beliau akan memberikan tumpuan kepada pembangunan generasi muda dalam bidang pendidikan kerana masalah liputan internet di DUN Sungai Rambai menyukarkan golongan muda yang kini bergantung sepenuhnya kepada kemudahan teknologi itu untuk belajar dan bekerja."Saya mahu meluaskan lagi liputan internet di DUN Sungai Rambai. Ia kini menjadi antara keperluan penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Bukan saja pendidikan, malah saya akan memperkasakan sektor keusahawanan wanita di Sungai Rambai," ujarnya.

Man Rushes Baby Stroller Onto The Road Then Scolds Oncoming Car For Not Stopping

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

As Malaysians, we are familiar with the power of the hand when crossing the road.
However, a man in Penang has gone viral for using his baby stroller instead.

A video of the man, reportedly taken in George Town on 13 June, shows him standing on the side of the road with several other people, who are said to be his family members.In the 11-second video, which was caught by a dashcam, the man can be seen suddenly pushing the pram forward in front of a moving vehicle, which caused the car to come to an abrupt halt.From what can be observed in the video, the stroller appeared to be empty.As he crosses the road, he angrily signals to the driver to slow down. While waiting to cross another lane, he turns back and, again, scolds the driver with his hand raised.

Image via Penang Kini (Facebook)

Many netizens were infuriated by the man's actions as he had the audacity to scold the driver despite him being in the wrong

They said the man's behaviour was dangerous to both his family and the driver on the road.

"He is in the wrong yet he raised his hand at (the driver). He is already endangering his children. Maybe it's a trend now to cross the road all of a sudden and then get angry at other motorists driving straight. No zebra crossing, only know how to scold the car on the road who is in the right," a netizen commented.

Image via Penang Kini (Facebook)

"People already gave way, please give some respect as a form of thanks. This kind of people have no manners," one said.

Image via Penang Kini (Facebook)

Some netizens also took the opportunity to voice out about issues that are faced in that area, such as the need for a pedestrian crossing and the bad traffic congestion.

"Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) or Penang Island City Council (MBPP), please solve the issue in this area, because it will often be crowded when people want to eat at Restaurant Deen Maju. Vehicles will park wherever they wish. MBPP, please do something," a netizen said.

Another added, "The state authorities should make a pedestrian crossing. It would be easier for people to cross."

Grandma With Dementia Gave Her Grandkids Wedding Rings Predicting She Won't Be Around Soon

A tweet about a grandmother with dementia who gave her grandkids wedding rings in Vietnam has recently gone viral

Amy Nguyen took to Twitter on 28 July to share about her grandmother giving her grandkids the rings because she predicts she will no longer be around when they get married.According to NextShark, Amy and her sister visited 88-year-old Pham Le at her home in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam last week. Amy and her family live in the Bay Area, California and would visit their grandmother every once in a while, adding that the last time they visited her was in 2015.

Image via Twitter/Amy Nguyen

This is my last day visiting my family in Vietnam. My grandma has dementia and this was one of the few times she remembered my siblings and I. She knows she will be gone by the time any of us get married so she wanted to gift us future wedding rings while she is still alive  pic.twitter.com/DB1wLSnwOJ— amy (@amyxngyn) July 27, 2019

After a netizen asked what the card that accompanied the ring meant, Amy shared the translation in another tweet

Of course! The title means family and the TM2 was my grandpa’s shop in Vietnam years ago. The middle is my grandma’s message reminding my siblings and I to always get along and be united, and to take care of my mom and dad as they get older. The bottom says it’s a gift of love — amy (@amyxngyn) July 28, 2019

Image via Twitter/Amy Nguyen

"The title means family and the TM2 was my grandpa's shop in Vietnam years ago. The middle is my grandma's message reminding my siblings and me to always get along and be united, and to take care of my mom and dad as they get older. The bottom says it's a gift of love," said Amy in her tweet.

Amy shared that her grandmother is the strongest woman she knows

"My grandma is 88 years old and she's the strongest woman I know. She's had 16 children, but only 10 survived to adult age," said Amy as quoted by NextShark. "She has cataracts and can't see anymore. I also love that she takes French classes in her free time despite having dementia, so she knows a bit of French," she said.

She also cherishes every joyful moment she can get with Pham Le, as she usually forgets details just minutes into the conversation

"Before I left, I told her that I posted a story on the Internet and how there were so many people sharing and loving the tradition my grandma started with her kids and grandkids," said Amy, adding that it was bittersweet talking to her because she forgets within a few minutes. Amy also said that saying goodbye was heartbreaking because Pham forgot the family had arrived three weeks ago and thought that they just arrived. "I thanked her for the gift and told her I loved her more than anything," she said.

At the time of writing, her tweet garnered over 8,800 retweets and 100,000 likes

Amy shared that the gift she received was the most loving gift she that she felt like she had to share with everyone else, adding that she has been crying non-stop. "I'm definitely doing this for my future kids and grandkids. Thank you for all the kind words and DMs," said Amy.

I’m sorry this is so sad, this is the most loving gift I have ever received that I thought it was worth sharing with everyone. I’ve been nonstop sobbing  I’m definitely doing this for my future kids and grandkids. Thank u for all the kind words and dm’s. — amy (@amyxngyn) July 28, 2019


Selain 'Hand Sanitizer', Ini Antara 6 Barang Yang Jadi Rebutan Sejak Penularan Covid-19

Sejak berlakunya penularan wabak Covid-19 di negara kita pelbagai langkah baru diperkenalkan bagi mengekang wabak ini daripada berjangkit

Disebabkan itu, kerajaan juga telah mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga seperti melaksanakan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) di seluruh negara. Dengan mengamalkan gaya hidup dan norma baru, ramai yang tidak melepaskan peluang untuk merebut pelbagai barangan keperluan mereka supaya tidak merasa boring ketika berada di rumah.Berikut adalah 7 barang yang menjadi rebutan ramai sejak pandemik ini:

1. Hand sanitizer

Image via Usa Today

Sudah tentu ini adalah barangan wajib dan paling penting pada waktu sebegini. Walaupun hand sanitizer telah diperkenalkan lama, tetapi ia bukanlah menjadi barangan keperluan sebelum pandemik ini melanda.Kini, ia sudah menjadi barang yang wajib ada untuk memastikan diri kita terhindar daripada kuman dan kotoran di mana saja. Malah, ini adalah antara barang yang paling laris sejak berlakunya pandemik Covid-19.

2. Bahan memasak dan makanan

Image via Kosmo

Ianya adalah barang keperluan yang mesti dibeli untuk sentiasa memastikan perut kita tidak lapar. Namun, sejak berlakunya pandemik ini barang-barang masakan sering kehabisan dengan sangat laju daripada sebelumnya.Hal ini dipanggil 'panic buying' kerana mereka membeli sesuatu barang dengan kuantiti sangat banyak untuk seisi keluarga.Ianya termasuklah seperti roti-roti, makanan ringan, minuman dan sebagainya.

3. Permainan papan

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Iluminasi

Oleh kerana terlalu lama duduk di rumah, pasti lama-kelamaan akan timbul rasa bosan. Antara salah satu cara menghilangkan kebosanan itu ialah dengan bermain permainan papan bersama ahli keluarga.Jangan terkejut permainan papan juga merupakan pilihan ramai orang bagi mengisi masa lapang untuk menghilangkan kebosanan mereka. Jadi, tidak hairanlah jika stok permainan papan juga cepat habis.

4. Sabun cuci tangan

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Berita Harian

Bukan saja hand sanitizer, malah sabun pencuci tangan juga antara barangan yang laku keras kerana kita sering disarankan untuk mencuci tangan selepas menyentuh sesuatu ketika berada di luar.Ianya adalah untuk mematikan kuman dan virus berbahaya daripada melekat pada telapak tangan kita.

5. Face mask

Image via Toronto Star

Face mask atau pelitup muka adalah barang yang amat diperlukan disaat ini. Dengan penggunaan face mask, ia sedikit sebanyak dapat mengurangkan jangkitan virus kepada seseorang.Seiring dengan kehidupan norma baru ini, face mask sudah menjadi benda yang wajib dipakai semasa keluar ke tempat awam.Face mask juga terdiri daripada pelbagai jenis kualiti dan fabrik. Malah, ada juga yang menjadikan face mask sebagai satu fesyen baru pada masa kini.

6. Tisu tandas

Image via Rentas Sempadan

Tisu tandas adalah barang yang menjadi rebutan pada masa ini. Di sesetengah negara, ia seperti satu keperluan penting dalam rumah mereka.Gara-gara pandemik, jualan tisu tandas terpaksa dihadkan oleh kerana ramai pelanggan yang membelinya dalam kuantiti yang banyak.

7. Air fryer

Alatan serba boleh ini memang sangat canggih dan mudah sekali untuk digunakan. Jika dilihat sekarang, hampir setiap rumah memiliki air fryer ini kerana ia mempunyai pelbagai fungsi.Bukan saja memudahkan kerja memasak, tetapi makanan yang dimasak juga kini lebih berkhasiat kerana ia tidak memerlukan minyak untuk menggunakannya.

Patutlah cepat sangat barang-barang ni habis. Memang jadi rebutan lagi-lagi masa sekarang. Stay safe guys!
