It's true! We will not pay them. If we pay them but they don't support us, why should we pay them?" the senator added.

13 Attention-Grabbing Quotes From Dato' Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's First Week As Deputy PM

1. "I have understood him (Najib) for 28 long years. Not only his thinking, but also his body language by having good chemistry with him."

In an exclusive interview with English daily New Straits Times, Ahmad Zahid said that he has been very consistent in his support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak dating years back when he was appointed as Najib’s first political secretary when Najib was first put into the Federal Government.“I have understood him for 28 long years. Not only his thinking, but also his body language by having, I would say, good chemistry with him. I reckon we have gone through turbulence when we were in Umno youth and we faced a lot of unbecoming political scenarios then. But in the youth leadership then, I think he managed to resolve most of the problems due to our togetherness,” said Ahmad Zahid as quoted by the daily.

"I would be a failure if I still cannot read what is in Najib's mind, and he would also be disappointed if the person he trusts cannot understand his heart," Zahid said.

2. "He (Najib) celebrates differences of opinion, but recognises that any differences should be spoken directly to him and not openly, especially in public."

Zahid said that Najib being educated abroad, was exposed to a different culture which promoted internal discussion between Cabinet members than a public one.“He (Najib) is a very kind-hearted man. Although he celebrates differences of opinion, I think he recognised one thing, that any differences should be spoken directly to him and not openly, especially in public,” he said. He also told NST that Cabinet responsibility was a collective decision and there needed to be oneness in voicing decisions made by the Cabinet.“Cabinet members are subjected to secrecy and any differences in opinion during discussions in the Cabinet should not be made known to the public. So when the Cabinet decides (on something) we have to follow the decision and I reckon the PM needs this kind of support. Any Prime Minister, for that matter, demands oneness, one voice… togetherness in any decision, especially in following through with what is decided by the Cabinet members," Zahid explained.

3. "How can a country have three different (education) systems based on race and religion with no meeting point? We must have national education that crosses the barriers of race, religion and ethnicity."

Malaysia can achieve racial harmony if the country adopts a single-stream “national” education system and puts an end to vernacular schools, newly-appointed deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told an interview with Berita Harian.“What is happening now, we must look at the country’s education system that exists in various mediums until there is no meeting point. How can a country have three different systems based on race and religion with no meeting point. We must have national education that crosses the barriers of race, religion and ethnicity,” Zahid was quoted by the Malay-language daily.He added that while racial unity was already implicitly and explicitly taught in public schools, it was still important to have an education system that reflects that same unity and "close to the people's conscience".

In an interview with Malay daily Berita Harian published today, the newly-appointed deputy prime minister explained from the perspective of a person “involved in the banking sector” that 1MDB has plenty of assets which enables it to remain solvent despite having loans from various banks.“I’m confident that if forensic accounting is conducted, it will reveal their ability to make repayments based on the assets that are in 1MDB. 1MDB didn’t use the government’s money or allocations. A lot of the deals are between lender and borrower, so in this case, there will definitely be repayments and a payment schedule must be made,” Zahid was quoted as saying.He added that 1MDB was still “bankable” but the issues surrounding the state-owned company rose out of the public’s lack of understanding about the company and its assets as well as "the opposition parties' games".

        themalaymailonline.com

According to Zahid, everyone should respect the ongoing investigation procedures done by the Special Task Force.“Thus, let the result of the investigation reveal the truth. Do not simply speculate,” stressed Ahmad Zahid in a press conference at Bukit Aman police headquarters here today.

That is why we lost seats in states and Parliament," he said when launching the Bayan Baru Umno division's delegates meeting at Hotel Equatorial Penang this morning.The Umno vice-president and home minister said Umno has to embrace the wave of technological advances if it wants to survive in politics. Zahid said the party was dealing with Generation Y and Generation Z that will come later, which are generations that are familiar with smart gadgets and communication technology from a young age, and think differently from the old generation.

This is our weakness, Umno needs to take on a new approach,” Mingguan Malaysia quoted him as saying in an interview published today.“They have many weaknesses too but they only expose our weaknesses, whereas we never expose the weaknesses of opposition parties. Perhaps we don’t have enough expertise in manipulating (issues) on the opposition’s weaknesses. This should be the approach emphasised by Umno and BN’s leadership,” he said.

Stop Abusing Your COVID-19 Self-Test Kits With Tap Water To 'Prove' They're Faulty

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

Some Malaysians on social media have been using tap water as a sample on their COVID-19 self-test kits in an attempt to prove the kits are useless and faulty

In the viral videos, the home experimenters showed that their kits displayed 'positive' results after they dropped plain tap water into the sample wells of the kits.Many of them claim that the health authorities and test kit manufacturers are conspiring against the public with ineffective detection kits.

However, many of the videos have also been taken down as netizens quickly discern between the truth and fake news

Several social media users pointed out that the test kit's buffer reagent was not used, and the two lines — indicating a positive result — appeared and was read almost immediately, instead of the usual wait of 15 minutes.The issue has also been recently addressed by the country's Medical Device Authority (MDA), a regulatory body under the Ministry of Health (MOH) that approved the use of the medical device."Based on a two-minute video, the usage method shown does not follow the instructions as in the label and leaflet included in the test kit," they said in a statement on 10 February.They reminded users to use the test kits in accordance with their intended purpose and instructions, otherwise they will likely produce misleading and pointless results.The MDA said they are also concerned about the circulation of the video and will conduct an investigation to prevent further confusion among the public regarding the use of COVID-19 self-test kits.

But, why do the COVID-19 rapid test kits turn out positive with tap water anyway?

Well, for starters, the US Centers for Disease Control has assured the public that the COVID-19 virus is not transmissible in our water supplies.So, the results obtained with tap water are definitely false positives.The test kits produce the false positive results because — as explained by Abbott, a US manufacturer of COVID-19 self-test kits, in a fact-check interview with Reuters — using anything other than nasal secretions and the reagent included in the kit can throw off the antibodies that are laden on the strip.

This is backed up by a study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases in August 2021 that tested COVID-19 rapid test kits with soft drinks, energy drinks, alcoholic beverages, mineral water, and carbonated water."We observed that all [drinks] caused the appearance of a red test line," the authors wrote. "However, when equal volumes of the buffer and the respective beverages are mixed, there are no false positive test lines."They said a likely explanation for the occurrence of the false positive test lines could be the altered pH in the solutions. In effect, it would interfere with the function of the antibodies that should be binding to COVID-19 virus particles instead.

Did This Restaurant In Bangsar Actually Charge Its Customers RM10 For Air-Con?

A restaurant in Bangsar drew public ire when a receipt showing a RM10 charge for air-conditioning went viral on social media

Image via Facebook

According to the original FB post, the customer had dined with three other patrons at a mamak restaurant in Lucky Gardens, Bangsar. The post went viral earlier this week when netizens shared it across social media, with many accused the restaurant of taking advantage of the heatwave in addition to the GST charge.

However, in a twist of events, the restaurant claimed that the customer in question was already made aware of the air-con charge

Photo for illustration purposes only. The restaurant is said to be a mamak eatery in Bangsar.

According to a report from The Star Online, the restaurant's management explained that the air-con charge is only applicable for customers who booked the restaurant's executive dining room - the only air-conditioned area in the restaurant - for a specific event or privacy, and that the customer would be notified in advance.

The restaurant's management also said that the  RM10 charge was waived upon the customer's request during payment

“For their exclusive usage of the air-conditioned room, we charged the customer a nominal fee of RM10 which he had requested to waive, and we did.“We did a favour for the customer by just charging a nominal fee instead of a booking fee, which we waived in the end,” said the restaurant's management to The Star, as quoted in The Malay Mail Online.

According to KPDNKK minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin, it is not illegal for restaurants to impose such charges as long as it is communicated to customers beforehand

"Some restaurants have charges like that for customers who book a room for a specific event, and it is not against the law if it is communicated to customers," said the Domestic Trade Co-operatives and Consumerism Minister.

The restaurant's manager was also quoted to have said that it could be a billing mistake by an employee, but clarified that customers who don't order anything before leaving will be charged for air-conditioning

Speaking to Free Malaysia Today, Malaysian Muslim Consumers’ Association (PPIM) chief activist Nadzim Johan said that people regularly walk into air-conditioned shops or restaurants especially with the ongoing heatwave. However, he concedes that it is abnormal for a restaurant to charge for air conditioning.“Restaurants should put up signs that they will charge customers for using the space if they do not order anything. It’s only fair if they do so and, legally, the customers cannot argue about this as well," he said.

Now the US authorities have warned security personnel that mobile devices powered by the Android operating system are especially vulnerable to malware and other hacks.

Vulnerable: Androids are the major target for mobile malware.

Google’s Android is the most widely used mobile software system in the world, and as a result it is becoming an increasingly big target for makers of malicious software, similar to Microsoft’s Windows.

        nytimes.com

The internal memo reported that Android attracted 79 per cent of all malware attacks, followed by Nokia’s Symbian software with 19 per cent. Apple’s iOS software attracted just 0.7 per cent of attacks.

OS fragmentation issue

Another major problem for Android is the fragmentation associated with the OS: not all Android users run the most recent version of the software and without updates the software is more vulnerable to hacks.

        independent.co.uk

Recent figures showed that only 33 per cent of Android users are running the most recent version of the software (Jelly Bean), a figure that compares unfavourably with Apple, where 93 per cent of users are using the latest iOS 6.

In addition to fragmentation, the fact that Android is the most widely used mobile OS on the planet also makes it a target for hackers, the DHS and FBI say.

With the filter, Google will block out intrusive ads on both desktop and mobile websites for a better browsing experience

The Standards identifies 12 types of ads that should be avoided, based on comprehensive research involving more than 66,000 consumers. It was first published in March 2017.

"In the US, Canada, and Europe, website owners have successfully been able to make changes to the ads on their sites. As of January 1, 2019, two thirds of all publishers who were at one time non-compliant to the Better Ads Standards are now in good standing," wrote Chrome senior director of product Ben Galbraith."Further, out of millions of sites we've reviewed to date, less than 1% have had their ads filtered."


Customer Rages At Cashier For Serving His Fried Chicken Without Box Packaging

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

A video of a customer raging at a KFC cashier for serving his food on a piece of paper went viral on Facebook

In the one-minute-11-second video that was reposted on the Sugu Pavithra Cooking Facebook page, the cashier explained that they ran out of box packaging to serve the food for dine-in customers. So, they served it on a tray with a piece of paper instead.The customer was astonished at his excuse because he paid the full price and waited for about an hour for his food.He then angrily pointed out the specks of dirt and leftover food on the tray.

"Look at that, that's leftover food! I paid with money! Where's your manager?!"The customer also yelled, "The boxes are right there!" while pointing to the area behind the cashier.

Netizens in the comments section have different opinions about the video

Some of them agreed that KFC should improve their customer service."KFC's service has worsened," a netizen remarked."KFC has worsened. (They) take orders using a system that should speed up the process (of serving food). But even after waiting for over an hour, the food is still not ready. Better to use the old system. [It's] fast and satisfies the customers, no need for a new system that is slow," commented another.

Image via Facebook

However, many disagreed with the way that the customer chose to approach the issue

They felt that the customer should not have yelled at the cashier because he was innocent and was just following orders from the higher-up to serve the food on a piece of paper.A Facebook user said, "There's no need to get angry like that. Speak politely. Pity the workers, they're only following orders. Unless that's their own idea (to serve food on paper).""Don't blame the worker. Go and see the boss," said another person.A person who shared the same opinion commented, "It is the management's fault, not the worker.""You're speaking to a person who has no power," one person pointed out, "Go and speak to the owner instead."

Image via Facebook

KFC told SAYS that it has reached out to the affected customer and apologised for the unpleasant experience

"KFC Management takes this matter seriously as food hygiene and safety, and customer satisfaction are of utmost importance to us," read the statement that SAYS received."The necessary remedial actions have been taken to address this matter with frontliner training reinforcements in ensuring that we deliver to our best quality standards."The fast-food chain added that it had thanked the customer for bringing the matter to its attention."Rest assured, we are committed to consistently improving our products and services."

You Can Be Barred From Travelling Abroad If You Have Unpaid Income Tax

Earlier this month, national goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat was barred from leaving the country as he had not paid his Income Tax

Due to which, Khairul was unable to join the national team that played Papua New Guinea at Port Moresby last Friday, 17 June.The national goalkeeper was, however, allowed to fly later after he settled the arrears so he could join the squad for the rest of their Oceania tour.

Image via ESPN

And Khairul isn't alone. In fact, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) said that the Immigration Department has barred a total of 116,836 Malaysians from leaving the country due to unpaid Income Tax.

Image via Giphy

IRB said that the barred Malaysians owe the government RM2.55 billion in unpaid income tax as of May 31, The News Straits Times reported today.Another 9,665 individuals have also been stopped from leaving the country due to their failure to pay the Real Property Gains Tax, owing the government RM150 million.

        themalaymailonline.com

Basically, if you're a Malaysian and have failed to settle your taxes, the Immigration Department can impose travel restrictions on you

In a report published by New Straits Times, the IRB has said that "The public are advised to check their travel status with the Immigration Department before planning a holiday abroad, especially during the upcoming festive season. Please check your status and clear any arrears to avoid unnecessary loss of time and money."

Additionally, the Immigration Department has a new rule to bar those who have insulted or defamed Malaysia from travelling:

                Owning a passport is a privilege for Malaysians, not a right

The government has the right to revoke passports from Malaysians.

Woman Warns Others To Not Simply Mix Cleaning Products After Ending Up In Hospital

A woman is warning others to never simply mix household cleaning chemicals together after being hospitalised because of it

Twitter user Ayuizany (@areuizany) shared her experience on 8 October, knowing that it was a common mistake that anyone could make at home."My story started all because I decided to mix toilet stain remover and bleach into a bucket together," the 26-year-old housewife wrote.Ayuizany told SAYS that her husband had just found a new job in Penang, so they were in their new home with their six-month-old son when the accident happened.

Image via @areuizany (Twitter)

"To be honest, I'm not the type who scrubs my toilet," she shared on Twitter

She said she had always only used a simple toilet cleaning liquid, but since it was a new place, she thought she would give it a good cleaning.Oblivious to the danger, Ayuizany said she poured some bleach into a bucket then squeezed in a large amount of stain remover for the job."I thought it was like a liquid soap, and it didn't smell like anything at that point, but the mixture started to foam and turn from white to yellow."Unfortunately, still thinking it was soap and that it would smell nice, she leaned in and took a big whiff of the concoction."The smell was so sharp!" she recalled, adding that she was suddenly in a panic because she felt nauseous and the smell started to take over the whole house.

Image via @areuizany (Twitter)

Her husband quickly moved their son into their bedroom when they started to cough because of the pungent fumes

Ayuizany said all the windows of the house happened to be closed and she was coughing non-stop too."I quickly got rid of the mixture first by flushing it down the toilet. But I felt the smell burning my nose, then my mouth, then suddenly I felt it in my chest. Then I was gasping for air because it felt like my throat was blocked," she said.She recounted that she tried to get some fresh air by walking outdoors, while her husband tried to get rid of the remaining smell in the house.However, after a few minutes, she still couldn't breathe, and her chest started to hurt. So, they quickly rushed to the hospital.

Thankfully, Ayuizany said she only needed a drip and did not stay overnight in the ward

"Alhamdulillah, the X-ray results also showed nothing wrong," she updated.However, once she got home, she decided to have a good look at the warning labels on all the cleaning product bottles."I learnt that toilet stain remover contains acid and cannot be mixed with other cleaning agents. They had a large warning about it on the bottle," she shared, adding regretfully that she did not read them before use.However, the whole ordeal was a lesson that she will remember until the day she dies."So here I am, sharing this for anyone else with no experience cleaning toilets like me. Please be careful when handling any household cleaning products, don't simply put your life at risk by accidentally inhaling these things," she cautioned.

Image via @areuizany (Twitter)

The tweet went viral — garnering over 20,000 retweets and 14,000 likes — and among the replies, many netizens shared their own carelessness when using cleaning chemicals

"Same case as me. There was a scorpion in my bathroom so I poured acid and bleach at it. The smell was so sharp that my chest tightened and I couldn't breathe," said a Twitter user."I quickly rinsed the chemicals away and sat in my room in front of a fan. I only didn't go to the emergency room because I was lazy to tell my family," she said, adding in a later tweet that her symptoms did not go away for three days.

Image via Twitter

Another user said, "The RM2 shops sell many kinds of these cleaners and the worst is they never mention or warn about its uses and dangers.""I've been through the worst and felt like dying post-exposure with this kind of floor cleaner, even my floor got ruined when I used it."

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, someone explained, "Chlorine gas is produced when you mix bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and hydrochloric acid from stain remover, same reaction happens when you mix bleach and vinegar."

Image via Twitter

Just for precaution, take note of this list of common household cleaning products that should never be mixed

According to CNA, these chemicals are dangerous when combined:Bleach + Acids = Chlorine gas– Leads to coughing, chest congestion, burning sensation, skin irritation, and watery eyes.– Acids include vinegar and lemon juice, and are found in various households cleaners.Bleach + Ammonia = Chloramine– Causes irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, leading to coughing and breathing problems.– Ammonia is found in many household cleaners too.Bleach + Rubbing alcohol = Chloroform– Causes irritation to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Can knock a person out and cause severe organ damage.– Rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) can be found in window cleaners, disinfecting sprays, and moist towelettes.Hydrogen peroxide + Vinegar = Peracetic acid– Highly corrosive to skin, eyes, respiratory system.– Hydrogen peroxide is a common disinfectant and can be found in multi-purpose sanitisers and kitchen cleaners.

Rich Businessman Slammed For Shaming Homeless Man's Past In Front Of An Audience

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

A local businessman-cum-online personality landed in hot water after a video of him giving a motivational talk at a homeless shelter went viral

According to Harian Metro, the clip was filmed on Tuesday, 27 July, at Pusat Transit Gelandangan Kuala Lumpur, a transit home for the homeless.

The man involved is known for running a local fashion line for Muslim women and has over 156,000 followers on Instagram.He often holds 'motivational' talks for budding entrepreneurs and his recent programme for the homeless was dubbed 'Ubah Hidup' (change your life).

Image via Instagram

In the clip, the businessman can be seen asking an elderly man in a stern tone, "Answer me honestly, when you were younger, do you regret it? Playing a lot, not taking things seriously, being lazy?"

The elderly man in front of him nodded.Then, the businessman spoke to the audience, "So now I ask you guys, do you want to regret it once you're older?"He then questioned his listeners on whether they have ever prayed to God to show them the way to change their life, regardless of their religion."What if today God sent me to help you guys?" he added.The clip was uploaded on his own personal Instagram account but was later reposted and shared across other social media platforms.

Netizens and public figures criticised the businessman for his harsh tone and empathised with the elderly man in front of him

Malaysian actor and comedian Harith Iskander tweeted in response to the clip, "Do you know the pakcik's life before this? You were by his side for the past few years? Even so, what gives you the right to berate another human being? Maybe I am not getting the complete picture. Please correct me. I hope God sends you this message."

Image via @HarithIskander (Twitter)

Meanwhile, actor Aaron Aziz wrote on Facebook, "Salam brother. If you want to help a person, don't dig into anyone's past. I don't know who you are, but you have to mind your manners. Whether they're homeless, drug addicts, or beggars, if you're doing charity, this is not the f----n way. Don't insult people's dignity, their spirit, their standings, their fate. If you think that God sent you to 'help' people in need, then God can also make you suffer. You remember that."

Image via Aaron Aziz (Facebook)

Semboyan 1Malaysia Consumers Association (Semboyan 1Malaysia) chairman Yusuf Azmi also posted on Facebook and wrote, "Who are you? This is what happens when you think you're so great. Lost respect. Casually raising your voice to the elderly, supposedly giving motivation. You went to a homeless shelter, and then you want to minimise them? Who are you to question this pakcik's life regrets? You don't know his life struggles over the past 64 years."

"Today God sent Semboyan to advise you, please don't be arrogant. Remember, God can take back his favours given to you at any time. We have been there before to hand out aid and you do not have the right to speak that way to the pakcik. People like you ruin the image of Islam! Before giving a motivational talk, go read a book on manners. No matter how successful, you have to mind your manners. Do not insult while advising. You go apologise to the pakcik or I will meet you in person," he added.

Besides that, the police have issued a fine against the businessman for not wearing a face mask during the event

"At 5.20pm today (28 July), he was summoned to the Dang Wangi police headquarters to have his statement recorded," Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Mohamad Zainal Abdullah told New Straits Times last night.He then added that the motivational speaker was fined RM1,500 according to Rule 17(1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within the Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2021.

The man has since issued a public apology

He wrote on Instagram, "If the clip looks like I was being rude with the pakcik then I truly apologise. Honestly, before, during, and after I spoke, I approached the pakcik and other homeless folks kindly and they were all happy that day."He then explained that he intends to meet with the elderly man in the near future to seek forgiveness.The entrepreneur also apologise for not wearing a face mask and confirmed that he was called in by the Dang Wangi police headquarters and has been issued a compound.According to him, on the day of the event, he was invited to speak by the Pusat Transit Gelandangan Kuala Lumpur and Yayasan Kebajikan Negara (YKN) to help the homeless who are in the phase of kickstarting their business."However, I realise that I shouldn't have spoken in that tone to those older than me. I apologise, this is a big lesson for me," he added.

[VIDEO] Wanita Dibelasah Teruk Oleh 2 Gadis Sebab Berebut Lelaki Atau Tipu Meniaga?

Sebuah video yang menunjukkan seorang wanita dibelasah teruk oleh dua orang gadis telah menjadi viral di laman sosial sejak malam tadi. Berikut adalah antara babak ekstrem yang dirakam:

1. Gadis berbaju putih bertindak menendang kepala wanita berbaju ungu yang didakwa telah menipu dalam pernigaan onlinenya

Image via www.youtube.com

2. Gadis kedua turut tidak melepaskan peluang menendang di bahagian muka dan perut sehingga wanita itu rebah. Ada juga sumber yang mengatakan mereka bergaduh kerana berebut lelaki.

Image via www.youtube.com

3. Ia tidak terhenti di situ. Dua orang gadis terbabit nampaknya langsung tidak memberi muka kepada wanita berkenaan untuk membela diri.

Image via www.youtube.com

Kejadian ini dipercayai berlaku di Bachok, Kelantan baru-baru ini. Saksikan video penuh DI SINI:

Kami dapati agak sukar untuk fahami perbualan mereka dalam dialek Kelantan.

×

Difahamkan, dua orang gadis tersebut telah membuat satu transaksi pembelian menerusi online daripada wanita berkenaan tetapi mendapati mereka ditipu.

Tetapi, ada juga yang mendakwa mereka bergaduh kerana berebut untuk memenangi hati seorang jejaka. Jika dilihatkan pada gaya, rasanya agak makes sense kerana wanita itu dibelasah dengan begitu teruk.

Walau bagaimanapun, ramai yang mempersoalkan tindakan dua gadis terbabit yang sanggup membelasah peniaga berkenaan. Tambahan lagi, mereka berdua seperti tidak kisah perbuatan mereka itu dirakam. Tak tahu apa motif yang cuba mereka pamerkan sebenarnya.Agak sedih bila melihat kelakuan wanita seperti gangster sebegini. Bukan sahaja wanita, malah lelaki juga sepatutnya menjaga tingkah laku mereka di tempat awam. Apa saja yang dilakukan di khalayak ramai pasti akan ada mata yang memandang.Sebelum ini, pernah juga tersebar sebuah video pelajar sekolah bergaduh sampai masuk longkang didakwa hanya kerana seorang lelaki. Video di bawah:

Tapi ada lagi satu isu yang berbangkit. Hairannya, kenapa kebanyakan headline di luar sana mesti nak sebut 'Gadis Kelantan'?
Sebab kalau difikirkan semula, tak ada pula tajuk berita yang sentuh bab negeri apabila ia berlaku di tempat lain. Betul tak?

Apa-apa pun, ketiga-tiga mereka yang terlibat telah pun ditahan reman selama tiga hari oleh pihak polis dan kini sedang dalam siasatan

Polis menahan tiga wanita berusia 20-an bagi membantu siasatan kes pergaduhan berkenaan. Seorang daripadanya ditahan dua hari lalu di Padang Tembak, manakala, dua lagi ditahan di rumah mereka di Taman Sari dan Wakaf Mek Zainab, antara 3 hingga 4 pagi tadi.Ketua Polis Daerah Kota Bharu, Asisten Komisioner Rohaimi Md Isa berkata, mereka ditahan reman tiga hari mulai hari ini dan disiasat mengikut Seksyen 324 Kanun Keseksaan.

Are These Photos Of A Man In China Eating A Dead Baby's Foetus Real?

Disclaimer: The story contains disturbing materials. Viewer discretion is advised.

A collection of photos of a Chinese man eating a dead baby's foetus has been in circulation for almost two decades on the Internet

According to a 2003 BBC report, rumours of cannibalism began to circulate over the Internet during the early months of  2001, typically accompanied by graphic photos of a Chinese man calmly chewing on what appears to be a dismembered human foetus, together with sensational commentary.Fact-checking site Snopes stated that the sensational commentary was along the lines of:"What u are going to witness here is a fact, don't get scared! It's Taiwan's hottest food. In Taiwan, dead babies or foetuses could be bought at USD50 to USD70 from hospitals to meet the high demand for grilled and barbecued babies. What a sad state of affairs!!"These Internet rumours began to achieve a modicum of legitimacy when a small Malaysian tabloid Warta Perdana fed a growing international controversy in reporting that a certain Taiwanese restaurant was serving a dish consisting of the baked flesh of human foetuses.The story eventually precipitated such an uproar that the CIA and Scotland Yard ultimately got involved to try to sort things out, according to a paper published by the University of Florida.

Who is the man? Why is he doing this? Are the photos real?

The photos were taken as part of a performance entitled "Eating People" (or "Man-Eater") performed on 17 October 2000 in Shanghai by avant-garde performance artist Zhu Yu, the man seen in the photos.One widely publicised report quotes the artist saying that "to create Man-Eater", he had to cook the corpses of babies that had been stolen from a medical school.Zhu admitted that the meat obtained from the bodies tasted bad, and said he had vomited several times while eating it. However, he said, he had to do it "for art's sake".According to the University of Florida's paper, in public comments he made at the time of the performance, Zhu sought to address the significance of the scandalous nature of his act, while at the same time attempting to relativise the social and cultural assumptions which make it appear scandalous in the first place: One question that always stymies us - that is, "why cannot people eat people?"

The artist, Zhu Yu.

In his performance art piece 'Eating People', Zhu photographed himself cooking and eating a human foetus that he divided into five parts.
The Beijing-based artist  claimed that he used an actual foetus.

"I herewith announce my intention and my aim to eat people as a protest against mankind's moral idea that he/she cannot eat people," he had said at the time."Eating People" appeared in one of Malaysia's weekly paper without a caption and generated the question of whether eating babies was accepted in Asia on various myth-debunking websites.In response to the public reaction, the artist stated that no religion forbids cannibalism."Nor can I find any law which prevents us from eating people. I took advantage of the space between morality and the law and based my work on it," said Zhu, who was 30 at the time of the exhibition.Contrary to Zhu's claims whose work was intended as "shock art", according to Snopes, the "foetus" used by the artist was most likely constructed from a duck's body and a doll head.

A video interview of the artist from a highly controversial documentary titled "Beijing Swings" sought answers about why he went ahead with it. The documentary was aired on Channel 4 back in December 2002.

Other images from another art exhibit were falsely circulated along with Zhu's exhibition and claimed to be evidence of foetus soup

The images from the artist's exhibition have been used in anti-Chinese propaganda. They are either fake or created to spread rumours among the gullible Internet user-base.These images have been distributed by e-mail with a short text attached explaining how they show China's "hottest food" and dead foetuses can be bought for about USD100. Recipients are encouraged to forward the mail, and the explanatory text is written in both English and Korean script.In 2016, the Turkistan Islamic Party claimed that "Muslim children in Turkistan" were eaten by the Chinese, showing the "artwork" by Zhu Yu and photos of fake foetuses from an art exhibit.However, the Chinese foetus soup story that keeps circulating online is a hoax.

This is actually a fake photograph.

Rumour mongers also claimed that Chinese eat baby soup for sex.

Other than the artist's photos from the exhibition, media reports in 2012 said that the Korea Customs Service confiscated pills containing powdered human flesh that had allegedly arrived from China

Since August 2011, South Korean officials have intercepted more than 17,000 pills - marketed as "miracle cure" for all ailments - smuggled from China, according to Daily Mail.However, Chinese authorities have denied allegations that the pills were manufactured in China.

The Security Of Malaysians Is My Priority And 6 Other Quotes By Najib During The IDC 2016

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak delivered an opening address at the International Conference on Deradicalisation and Countering Violent Extremism (IDC) 2016 yesterday, 25 January. Here are some key takeaways from his speech:

1. "I make no apology, I repeat, I make no apology for every step to preserve that safety, and for making the security of all Malaysians my first priority."

Image via Bernama/Sinar Harian

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak says he will not apologise for taking every necessary step to preserve the security of Malaysians from acts of terrorism. This includes passing a number of laws, such as the National Security Council Act, the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) and the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (SOSMA), which have been criticised by some quarters for supposedly contravening civil liberties.

        thestar.com.my

2. “I will not allow Malaysia to be so open to infiltration. The law is there to protect us all, but the intentions of those who want to bomb, maim and behead can never be placed above the peaceful majority who firmly reject violence and war.”

Image via Olisa TV

He said that just this month alone, the police arrested three Malaysians who were trying to enter Syria to join the Islamic State. He also said that a teenager who was dressed in the Islamic State uniform was taken into custody after holding a woman at knifepoint in the north-west of Malaysia. PM Najib Razak also cited another incident, where a young man who was planning a suicide attack in Malaysia was arrested.

3. "Here in Malaysia, we are firm in our resolve and fully committed to fight violent extremism."

In materialising Malaysia's firm resolve, he said the country had initiated the Regional Digital Counter Messaging Communication Centre, which would synchronise efforts in ASEAN and beyond.

4. “Malaysia will also be undaunted in this battle as are the brave men and women of the armed forces and police."

"They have saved countless lives by foiling terrorist plots and putting themselves in danger. Their work is often unsung for security reasons, but I would like to pay tribute to them now."

        nst.com.my

5. "We will remain tireless in our endeavours to reverse the ideological misconceptions and falsehoods that fuel extremism."

He said that many of those who have joined or have tried to join groups like the Islamic State, are "idealistic young men and women who have been cruelly deceived by recruiters".  He further explained that the countries can work with one another to enhance the security between nations, exchange ideas and share the best practices for rehabilitation efforts and counter violent extremism.

6. "Let us prevent that (terrorism). Let's preserve peace and security in the country."

Image via Hotels.com

"We will not wait for an outrage to take place before putting all measures necessary in place. I know that some lawyers would argue with that... that a person is not guilty until he had committed a crime - that is the fundamental of law."  "But when a crime (terrorism) is committed, many will lose their lives and may be maimed forever and ever. We cannot let that happen."

7. "The best way to uphold civil liberties is to ensure the safety of the nation."

"It is right to talk about striking a balance between civil liberties and national security. But, let me tell you this, there are no civil liberties under Daesh (another name for Islamic State), and they are no shield against those who are set on committing acts of terrorism."

The IDC 2016 is a 2-day conference that saw the participation of ministers and delegates from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and  Malaysia's Strategic Partners speaking extensively about battling terrorism

PM Najib Razak's speech came just hours after a video threat issued by the Malay-speaking wing of the Islamic State (IS). Katibah Nusantara, the Islamic State’s wing in Malaysia and Indonesia, vowed revenge against the Malaysian government after the authorities' crackdown  on militancy. Police said that the video was very significant because it was the first from Islamic State that was in Bahasa Malaysia. "This threat is very real and my government takes it very seriously. This is a challenge that faces us all around the world. We are far from immune to this danger in Malaysia," Najib said.

'Hore Bapakku Pulang' - Caption Terakhir Bani Seventeen Sebelum Maut Dibadai Tsunami

Pada malam Sabtu, 22 Disember 2018, wilayah Selat Sunda di Indonesia dikejutkan dengan kehadiran Tsunami yang kuat

Pihak berkuasa menyatakan tsunami mungkin dicetuskan gelombang air pasang surut tidak normal dan tanah runtuh bawah air susulan letusan gunung berapi Anak Krakatoa.Anak Krakatoa, sebuah gunung berapi kecil yang muncul dari laut pada setengah abad lalu selepas letusan dahsyat Krakatoa pada 1883 adalah salah satu daripada 127 gunung berapi masih aktif di Indonesia.

Benar, ada tsunami yang menerjang pantai di Selat Sunda pada 22/12/2018, 20.27 WIB. Penyebab tsunami bukan gempabumi. Namun kemungkinan adanya longsor bawah laut pengaruh erupsi Gunung Anak Krakatau. Bersamaan dengan adanya gelombang pasang akibat bulan purnama. pic.twitter.com/5Y2ZY9f0bi— Sutopo Purwo Nugroho (@Sutopo_PN) December 23, 2018

Laporan terbaru mengatakan angka kematian bencana tsunami ini meningkat kepada 280 orang, selepas pasukan penyelamat menemui lebih banyak mangsa ketika operasi mencari menggunakan jentera berat.Lebih 3,000 penduduk yang tinggal di pesisiran pantai turut meninggalkan kediaman masing-masing dan mencari perlindungan di kawasan lebih tinggi, apabila amaran ombak besar dikeluarkan hingga esok

Sejak semalam, tersebar satu video yang menunjukkan ombak Tsunami membedil pentas konsert ketika band Seventeen sedang mengadakan persembahan

Video berdurasi 50 saat ini menyaksikan persembahan band Seventeen sebelum tsunami melanda dari arah belakang pentas.

Susulan daripada kejadian itu, pemain bass, pemain gitar utama dan pengurus band Seventeen dilaporkan maut di tempat kejadian

Pemain bass Seventeen, Muhammad Awal Purbani atau Bani dan pemain gitar utama, Herman Sikumbang atau Herman disahkan maut bersama pengurus, Oki Wijaya, manakala dua lagi Andi, termasuk isteri vokalis band itu, Dylan Sahara masih hilang.Perkara itu dimaklumkan oleh vokalis Seventeen, Riefan Fajarsyah atau Ifan dalam satu rakaman video di Instagram miliknya.

Allahyarham Bani menerusi beberapa posting di Instagram sebelum ini seakan-akan menunjukkan tanda-tanda bahawa beliau bakal pergi buat selama-lamanya

Sedih, pilu dan hiba membaca beberapa posting terakhir Allahyarham Bani.Pada 8 Disember lalu, Bani memuat naik gambar dengan caption yang seakan memberi maksud tersirat tentang pemergian dirinya.

Lebih memilukan, gambar terakhir yang dimuat naik Bani adalah gambarnya bersama satu-satunya anak kesayangan beliau, Nara. Caption yang ditulis juga mempunyai makna yang mendalam.

Selain Bani, gitaris Seventeen, Allahyarham Herman turut memuat naik satu video dengan caption yang berbunyi, "Bernyanyilah, sebelum bernyanyi itu dilarang"

Video yang dimuat naik Allahyarham Herman ini turut mengundang sebak. Video ini menyaksikan persembahan Seventeen di Kota Tengerang, Indonesia sebelum melakukan persembahan terakhir di Banten pada Sabtu.

Image via Instagram @hermanseventeen

Isteri Herman, Juliana Moechtar menerusi Instagram berkata arwah suaminya itu kebelakangan ini selalu memainkan lagu berjudul 'Kemarin' yang baru diciptanya. Memetik bait-bait lirik lagu berkenaan, ia juga seakan-akan memberi makna bahawa beliau akan pergi meninggalkan dunia.

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Juliana Moechtar, S.E  (@julianamoechtar) on Dec 23, 2018 at 4:08pm PST

Juliana turut menceritakan detik terakhir bersama Herman di mana suaminya itu dikatakan memeluknya begitu lama dan masih mengajaknya untuk pergi ke acara tersebut pada saat-saat akhir."Teringat saat dia pamit (mengucap selamat tinggal), dia memeluk saya lama, dia mencium saya penuh cinta, dan pada saat terakhir pun dia masih mengajak saya untuk ikut ke acara itu. Tapi Allah masih punya cerita lain di sini," tulisnya.

Penyanyi Seventeen, Ifan yang terselamat daripada nahas tsunami itu mengharapkan kepulangan isteri tercinta secepat mungkin

Semalam, 23 Disember 2018 merupakan hari jadi isterinya. Sehingga kini, isterinya masih belum ditemui. :'(

Ever Wonder Why You Can't Stop Eating Salted Egg Chips? Boss Chips Shares Their Secret

From chicken to croissants and cronuts, salted egg yolk has come a long way and it recently made waves with its latest form - crispy, addictive chips!

Image via Bosschips / Instagram

It's clear that salted egg yolk isn't a passing fad - it's here to stay!

And you can never just have one piece...

Image via Buena Vista Television

You'll just end up finishing the whole bottle.

Image via SAYS

Why have one when you can have more, right?

  A post shared by Bryan Loo  (@bryan_loob) on Aug 21, 2017 at 2:35am PDT

So we asked the experts at Boss Chips to share with us what makes these chips extraordinary:

1. Picking the freshest local ingredients

Image via THE NEW EDGE

Sticking true to its home-cooked origins, Boss Chips keeps it real with fresh ingredients sourced from local markets, from the salted eggs to the chili padi and curry leaves. Only the best ingredients make it through to their kitchen to ensure the chips get that wholesome home-made feel!

2. Coating each chip perfectly

Image via SAYS

Here's a little secret that makes Boss Chips so hard to stop eating once you start: They use a special frying technique to ensure that each potato chip is coated with that irresistible salted egg sauce. According to the brand, the labour-intensive task is "like spreading jam over bread but in a wok", and the end results are well worth it!

3. Keeping them fresh

Each jar is sealed for freshness, and the preservative-free chips rely on natural ingredients to retain their flavour. Although they'll keep for two months, the brand recommends that your jar is this empty within a week of opening:

Image via SAYS

But we all know that the bottle won't last a month. You'll probably finish it within the day. Remember to keep them cool or in a fridge, because nothing - yes, NOTHING - is worse than soggy chips.

The brand also shared some next-level ways fans have enjoyed the chips - including eating them as lauk with rice :O

On a less eyebrow-raising note, the fun snack is great for parties and movie nights!

Wait, Did The Selangor Mufti Say It's Okay For Husbands To Beat Their Wives?

Two Days Ago, Mohd Tamyes Abdul Wahid, The Mufti Of Selangor Made A Controversial Statement When He Said   That "Husbands Can Cane Their Wives To Train Them"

Image via fbcdn.net

The Statement Was Made In An Interview With Utusan Online, Where He Was Asked To Weigh His Opinion On The Issue Of Caning Children. He Gave The Analogy That This Form Of Punishment Is Permissible Under Islam To Train Wives And Children On Their Duties.

Image via rakyatnews.my

Meanwhile, according to Selangor Mufti Mohd Tamyes Abdul Wahid, Islam allows a light beating of one’s wife and children as a last resort in training them to perform their responsibilities.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

According to the Selangor mufti, Muslims husbands can cane their wives with the intention of “training” them. In an Utusan Online report three days ago, Datuk Tamyes Abdul Wahid said this form of punishment was sanctioned by the religion as a form of “rehabilitation” to train wives and children, on their duties.

        therakyatpost.com

However, He Added That This Should Only Be Considered As A Last Resort If All Methods Fail, Which Includes Reprimanding And Sleeping Separately From The Wife

“This method, however, should be the last resort after all other methods fail including reprimanding her and sleeping separately,” said the article.

        therakyatpost.com

The Statement Did Not Go Down Well With The Women's Aid Organisation (WAO), Who Came Out Strongly Against This Claim And Stated That Any Physical Abuse On Women Is A Crime

Image via Women's Aid Organisation Via Facebook

This was picked up by Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) whom in a stinging Facebook post yesterday,  called on Tamyes “unfit to guide the Sultan”. “No. A man can’t do that. It is a crime to beat your wife, just read the Domestic Violence Act.

        therakyatpost.com

The Post Was Shared By Almost 1,000 People And Commented On 200 Times

In 2010, The Penang Mufti Called For Calm And Better Understanding When There Was International Scrutiny After Three Women Were Caned In The Kajang Women's Prison For Engaging In Illicit Sex

Image via aljazeera.com

Penang mufti Datuk Hassan Ahmad concurred. "People are often scared by what they do not understand, they are commenting without really understanding the inner workings of syariah." Hassan said efforts should be made by all state religious authorities to ensure that the public was educated on the finer details of syariah. "Those people who comment and say that we are cruel and inhumane should study and do some extensive research on syariah before giving views," he said.

S'pore Customer Discovers Cigarette Butt In Her Food But Staff Insists It's Dried Chilli

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

A customer complaint recently caught the attention of netizens when she relayed her experience of finding a cigarette butt in her mala xiang guo meal

According to the Singaporean customer, Neo Pei Yi, who aired her displeasure on the Complaint Singapore Facebook group on Tuesday, 27 December, the food fiasco happened in Chinatown, Singapore. Despite it being Neo's favourite food stall to get the Sichuan delicacy from, she was horrified when she discovered a cigarette butt nestled among the dried chillis in her meal.To make matters worse, she had only discovered it when she was about to finish the meal.

Image via PeiYi Neo/Complaint Singapore (Facebook)

Obviously upset at this, the customer confronted the staff at the food stall for an explanation

Instead of an apology or a rational explanation, the staff told the disgruntled customer that the cigarette butt was actually a piece of 'dried chilli'. Unable to believe the staff's words and unsatisfied with the situation, the customer declared that she will never visit that food stall again.Neo also tagged food safety and security organisation Singapore Food Agency (SFA), presumably urging the government body to take action against the matter.

Many netizens shared the customer's ire at the situation and urged Neo to continue pursuing the SFA for action to be taken or reach out to the Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA)

Neo later replied in the comments section, confirming that she did indeed get a call back from the SFA after tagging them in her Facebook post.

Image via Facebook

Other netizens said that Neo should have asked the staff to eat the supposed 'dried chilli' to confirm that it was what they claimed.

These customers also got a rude shock when they discovered unsavoury items in their food:
