Should Religion Be Used To Justify Sexual Crimes?

A study by the Home Ministry in April 2015, revealed that every 35 minutes, a woman is being raped in Malaysia.
The world is constantly up in arms about the atrocities of sexual crimes, and Malaysian activists are no different.

Additionally, statistics from the Home Ministry also indicated that from 2005 to July 2014, out of the 28,471 rape cases that were reported, only 4,514 (16%) were brought to court with merely 756 (2.7%) perpetrators found guilty.“There are 3,000 rape cases reported every year on average in Malaysia with only two out of 10 cases going to court. This implies that there is one female being raped every 35 minutes,” said Damansara Utama ADUN Yeo Bee Yin.

Delving into sex crimes, at the 'Gila Sex, Gila Kuasa... Siapa Jadi Mangsa' forum that was held yesterday, Young Women Making Change (YWMC)'s Syar S. Alia, spoke about how sexual offenders conveniently use religion to justify their heinous sexual crimes

"There are cases where perpetrators used religion, for the very reason to say that religion or God’s word is on their side. "And that is also another way of them having power over their victims, because (if you say) God is on your side, you will feel more powerful than the person you are trying to shame.""It is being used (and) interpreted to suit them,” she told The Malaysian Insider after speaking at a forum on sexual harassment, "Gila Seks, Gila Kuasa, Siapa Jadi Mangsa" by Projek Dialog in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.Formed in August 2014, YWMC aims to raise awareness and increase dialogue on the sexual harassment issue experienced by young women at all levels of society in the country.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Religion is being used as a political tool and a social tool to exert control to say that what I do is correct... and this goes back to the idea of right and wrong," added Syar

She said the perpetrators usually thought that their interpretation of religion was more accurate than others, and were judgmental towards people, especially their victims, and how they practised their beliefs. This, Syar said, was based on YWMC's works on the issue, its cooperation with other NGOs, and research and anecdotes she received from feedback.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Contrary to popular belief, people are not exactly opposed to the idea of sexual crimes.
Syar talks about how the ugly truth comes down to the fact that there are still people that subscribe to the belief that, anyone that does not comply to the rules of a particular religion, deserves to be sexually violated.

Earlier, Syar gave an example of how people on social media dehumanised the whole issue of sexual harassment when YWMC released a series of posters about sexual harassment on Facebook. There was one day that we focus on sexual harassment experienced by transgender people and our message is that sexual harassment is not okay and everybody deserves to be respected and feels safe. “But some commenters say they (victims) are transgender people and it is wrong according to religion and morals, so they deserve to be sexually harassed."There is one woman who said sexual harassment is one of the many ways to tell people that they are doing something wrong or dressing the wrong way,” she said.

“When we reject them, of course we will receive backlash and they will use religion (to counter)."

Justice for Sisters comprises of a group of people standing up against all forms of injustice and violence against transgender women.

On 16 June, a private birthday party was raided by the Kelantan Islamic Department (JHEAIK), during which they arrested nine innocent transgender women for cross-dressing

In Kelantan, section 7 of the Syariah (Sharia) Criminal Code of 1985 states that “Any male person who, in any public place, wears woman attire and poses as a woman shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding four months or to both.”Malaysian transgender rights activists say that the cross-dressing laws not only violate the constitution, but contribute to widespread discrimination and violence against transgender people.“Laws against ‘a male person posing as a woman’ not only deny transgender women in Malaysia our fundamental rights as citizens of the country, they also contribute to a hostile environment,” said Nisha Ayub, a transgender activist with the rights group Justice for Sisters.

        hrw.org

With harsh religious laws to comply to, the Syaria court convicted the nine transgender women and slapped them with fines and jail sentences, following the abrupt arrests

News about injustice against the transgender community is becoming so common in Malaysia, it is both sickening and worrying. They are most often sexually harassed and when they turn to the very authorities that are supposed to protect and keep them save, they are reportedly forced to conduct lewd sexual acts for those officers.

Regardless of the stereotypes thrown at the transgender community, they are still no different from the rest of us and these eight people have proved exactly that:

Children subjected to cruel sexual crimes: Pedophilia, incest and rapes

8-year-old Nurin Jazlin was brutally raped and murdered back in 2007

While we are on the subject of sexual crimes in Malaysia, it is impossible to skirt around the issues of statutory rapes, incest and pedophilia that happen all too common but go unreported mostly

While the country was celebrating Christmas on Dec 25, 2006, tree cutter K. Kamalason, 47, raped a five-year-old child in a Chinese graveyard in Kuantan. He inflicted his young victim with extremely serious internal injuries to her uterus, intestines and private parts.Kamalason is married with two children ages two and six and was sentenced 20 years in jail and 20 strokes of the rotan.As a stepfather, Zulkarnain Ramle, 40, of Kampung Sourabaya Hulu, Petra Jaya in Sarawak should have protected and cared for his stepchildren. Instead, Zulkarnain raped his 11-year-old stepdaughter three years ago when both her mother and elder sister were not at home.The child told her mother, who lodged a police report and her daughter taken for a medical examination. Zulkarnain was sentenced to 12 years in jail on Nov 3, 2003.

        thestar.com.my

In 2007, a young, 16-year-old secondary school girl, gave birth to a stillborn baby, that was fathered by her 42-year-old stepfather, in Taiping

Another horror story surfaced in 2012, when a 20-year-old girl from Melaka, finally mustered the courage to lodge police report against her father, who sexually abused her when she was 12 years old:

The woman, now aged 20, claimed that her father also locked her up in a room when she was in Year Six and sexually abused her.She was only given food during those few days and was not allowed to attend school.The abuse purportedly lasted for five years, beginning when she was in Year Five until she ran away from home.She also claimed in her Jan. 11 report that there had been occasions when her father tied her to the bed and also inserted objects into her private parts.

        thejakartapost.com

The heartbreaking fact is that, most of these children are abused and violated by the people that they trust the most

In many of these cases, rapes were carried out not by strangers, but by people close to the victims. The perpetrators were people who were supposed to be protectors of the victims, fathers, stepfathers, brothers, uncles, and even mothers. Most go unreported until a pregnancy occurs.The majority of perpetrators of these crimes came from low socio-economic rural environments, many from FELDA areas, were relatively uneducated, and earning below average wages. 66% of the perpetrators were Malays, 82% were over 50 years old, while the victims were under 16 years old. The perpetrators would claim that sex was their right from a daughter and the acts were consensual. They claimed that the victim was manja (affectionate), and the act occurred because of ‘suka sama suka’ (consent), even though she was a child. Some claimed the children were temptresses and ‘right for the plucking’.

Excuses, no matter how petty, are always made by rapists, with the most common one about how the attire of the woman or child they violated provoked them, and all the way to using their respective religious rites to justify rape

Image via New Indian Express

Many perpetrators had a proprietary attitude of ownership over their children according to Universiti Sains researcher Dr Rohana Ariffin, and Rachel Samuel of UiTM Melaka. They used persuasion, coercion, manipulation, the power of their relationship, and religious dogma to have sex with their victims. Some believe that the Qu’ran allows them ownership over their daughters and claimed they are rightfully their sex slaves according to Islam.The perpetrators didn’t see sex with their daughters, granddaughters, or nieces as rape, because no violence was used. Boyfriends blamed the girl’s parents, stating that the parents didn’t like him. Others blamed pornography and uncontrolled lust.A prison department director-general Zaman Khan once asked why a father raped his own daughter, reported that the man replied:“As a father, I had planted the seed before my child was born. Thus I am rightfully the person to taste the fruit before anybody else.”

        nsnbc.me

Supporting the rapists, certain members of the society are making statements about sexual crimes that seem like they condone rape

One group in particular, Hizbut Tahrir Malaysia (HTM), when interviewed at their headquarters on Sunday, asserted that “your body is to be used by your husband… when you marry a woman, there is no need to get consent, no need at all”. HTM spokesperson, Ustaz Abdul Hakim Othman, also stated at a hudud seminar in Bangi recently that “most sexual cases involve false accusations”.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex. “The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.”

        thestar.com.my

With groups like Young Women Making Change, Justice For Sisters, and Women's Aid Organisation, stepping up to put an end to rape and assisting the victims, more people are finding it in them to stand up against all forms of sexual violence

Sultan's 153-Year-Old Palace Flattened by Bulldozer in Minutes

No monument in Hampi that is more than 100 years old can be demolished without the approval of the HWHAMA, but the PWD did not bother to seek it!

FULL STORY: Hampi ruins flattened by bulldozers 'to widen road' despite being a World Heritage site

The Karnataka govt (India) has big plans to conserve the Hampi ruins. But its public works department (PWD) apparently cares little for the historic monument that is a World Heritage site.

        dailymail.co.uk

Though the monument - Dadapeer Chatra - does not belong to the Vijaynagar Empire (1336-1645 AD), it is still protected by HWHAMA as part of Hampi ruins which are spread over 13 kms.

A 153-year-old structure built by a Sultan as a resting place for visitors to Hampi recently came under the PWD bulldozer.

        dailymail.co.uk

The Hampi World Heritage Area Management Authority, which is struggling to protect the ruins from further destruction, has demanded an explanation.

        dailymail.co.uk

The structure, Dadapeer Chatra, situated three kilometres from Hampi at the entrance to Kamlapur, was demolished to widen a road. It was built by a local sultan in 1860. It was meant to be a resting place for visitors to Hampi.

FULL STORY: Developers destroyed pyramid at 4,000-year-old archaeological site

Peruvian authorities say a pair of real-estate developers have ruined a 4,000-year-old pyramid, and they're facing criminal charges, the BBC reports.

        newser.com

Authorities in Peru press criminal charges after accusing real-estate companies of tearing down a pyramid thought to be 4,000 years old.

        bbc.co.uk

"Irreparable damage" was done to the 20-foot-high pyramid, says an archeologist. The El Paraiso complex, near Lima, had 12 pyramids; the companies tried to tear down three others before witnesses stopped them.

        newser.com

It cites a report by archaeologist Frederic Engel, who claims the site could have required over 100,000 tons of rock to construct and was likely to have been used for religious and ritual purposes.

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

Archaeologist Marco Guillén Hugo, who led research and excavation at the site, said it was not the first time the firms had tried to take over the land.

        inquisitr.com

Along with destroying one pyramid, witnesses said people apparently working for the two real estate developers tried to destroy three others. However, the witnesses stopped them.

MOH Suggests Raising Fine For Flouting COVID-19 SOP To RM10,000

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has proposed that the fine for flouting standard operating procedures (SOPs) to control the COVID-19 pandemic be raised from RM1,000 to RM10,000

According to The Star, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the RM1,000 punishment under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) has to be revised to reflect the current situation."The Act was drafted in 1988. RM1,000 was probably reasonable then, but now we need to review that," he said during a dialogue titled 'COVID-19: Malaysia's Journey towards Flattening the Curve' at the Malaysian Healthcare Conference 2020 on Tuesday, 25 August."We hope it can be pushed up to RM10,000. However, that is up to the parliamentarians to decide."

Image via Bernama/Utusan Borneo

He said the proposal to increase the maximum fine under Act 342 has already been submitted to Parliament

However, he noted that it will take time for the motion to be accepted.According to Act 342, enforcement authorities can charge a person under Section 24, whereby if found guilty, a first-time offender faces a penalty of up to two years' jail or a fine, or both.Under Section 25 of the same act, it states that the Health director-general or any public officer can impose a compound of up to RM1,000.

Image via Reuters/The Straits Times

The issue was debated in Parliament after Kuching Member of Parliament Kelvin Yii submitted a motion to, instead, reduce the fine to RM250 last week

Yii specifically mentioned the mandatory mask-wearing requirement in public and said that the current fine is too high and is a burden to the people, especially for students, the poor, and people with disabilities, reported New Straits Times.However, Dr Noor Hisham has voiced his disagreement with the move."Over the last two weeks in Parliament, they wanted to lower the fine to RM250. We disagree with that as it is a compoundable offence," he said yesterday.Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has also previously said the government has no intention of lowering the maximum RM1,000 compound, saying that the fine is in place to protect society and not to burden the public.

10 Cara Wajib Dan ‘Step By Step’ Yang Perlu Anda Buat Sewaktu ‘Hire’ Wedding Photographer

Bila bercakap soal kahwin, ramai yang akan berasa teruja. Mana tidaknya, itulah hari yang ditunggu-tunggu selama ini. Segalanya mahu sempurna termasuklah gambar-gambar hari bahagia yang akan dibukukan untuk menjadi memori buat hari tua.

Maka bermulalah kisah perjalanan mencari fotografer yang ideal untuk merakam detik-detik indah di hari bahagia nanti. Tetapi inilah yang sering menjadi dilema dan masalah bakal pengantin. Mereka tidak tahu akan cara bagaimana untuk memastikan segalanya berjalan dengan lancar. Eh bukan majlis saja perlu berjalan lancar ya, tetapi 'deklarasi' anda bersama fotografer juga perlulah smooth and clear.

Image via jakfoto.net

Jadi, buat bakal mempelai di luar sana, ini dia 10 perkara yang perlu anda tahu bagaimana untuk hire fotografer bagi majlis anda nanti:

1. Tinjau artworks

First thing first, perkara pertama yang anda harus lakukan adalah anda harus tinjau atau lihat sendiri hasil kerja fotografer tersebut. Lihat sendiri hasil kerja mereka sama ada ia benar-benar memenuhi citarasa anda atau pun tidak.  Senang kata, stalk semua gambar-gambar mereka sampai habis di Facebook, Instagram dan sebagainya.

Image via Project Secret Pictures

2. Lihat feedback orang ramai

Lepas tinjau artworks dan sekiranya anda berminat, langkah seterusnya adalah go through semua feedback dan komen-komen pelanggan mereka sebelum ini. Kalau anda kenal salah seorang pelanggan mereka, lebih baik anda bertanya sendiri dengan pelanggan mereka tersebut. Ingat, gambar yang cantik tak semestinya menjanjikan perjalanan mendapatkan album yang 'cantik' juga ya.

Image via Project Secret Pictures

3. Sesuai dengan bajet

Gambar cantik. Feedback pun bagus. Jadi anda sudah boleh mula melihat pakej yang ditawarkan. Adakah ia bersesuaian dengan bajet anda atau pun tidak. Jikalau ragu-ragu dengan pakej yang dikenakan agak mahal, bandingkan dengan pakej fotografer yang lain. Bandingkan harga dan barang yang anda akan dapat melalui pakej tersebut.

Image via Zaidi Aziz Photography

4. Fahamkan pakej betul-betul

Fahamkan betul-betul pakej yang ditawarkan. Album saiz berapa, poster frame saiz berapa. Gambar pula berapa keping. Sebarang kemusykilan terus saja tanya kepada fotografer. Kami yakin tak akan ada fotografer pun yang akan faham sekiranya anda kurang jelas.

Image via Zaidi Aziz Photography

5. Base di mana?

Bayangkan sekiranya majlis di Terengganu tetapi fotografer pula berada di Kuala Lumpur. Anda perlu membayar lebih dari segi kos perjalanan dan penginapan. Selalunya pakej yang ditawarkan tidak termasuk dua benda ni. Jadi kalau boleh cari fotografer yang sememangnya base berdekatan dengan majlis anda. Tapi kalau sanggup bayar lebih apa salahnya kan? Cuma, bila bab penginapan tu kenalah juga fikirkan. Jangan pula kononnya paksa fotografer tidur rumah pengantin sekali. Be professional!

Image via Zaidi Aziz Photography

6. Lihat sendiri contoh album

Rakyat marhaen tak akan faham apa itu photobook, custom album, mockup album, mockup sticky album dan banyak lagi lah. Jadi sebelum nak deal apa-apa, moleklah kiranya si pasangan pengantin turun dan berjumpa dengan fotografer itu sendiri. Lihat jenis album yang ditawarkan. Yelah, kadang-kadang saiz album ni tengok angka macam besar, bila dapat hhmm besar A4 pun tak sampai. So, jadilah pasangan pengantin yang bijak.

Image via Zaidi Aziz Photography

7. Terangkan tentatif penuh majlis

Sebagai pelanggan yang ingin menggunakan khidmat seorang fotografer, anda WAJIB menerangkan tentatif penuh majlis kepada fotografer tersebut awal-awal. Beritahu mereka details tempat (dewan atau rumah), exact time nikah, sanding, malam berinai dan sebagainya. Jangan nanti elok-elok fotografer ingatkan nikah saja, tiba-tiba ada malam berinai sekali. Dapat fotografer yang berhati perut untunglah. Tapi dapat yang memang strict pandai-pandailah suruh anak buah ambil pakai phone sendiri.

Image via Instagram @ali_imran93

8. Pilih sama ada perlu satu atau lebih fotografer

Kalau jenis majlis yang besar tu ala-ala Wedding of The Year seelok-eloknya ambil lah lebih daripada seorang fotografer. Ketahuilah sememangnya tak akan terdaya seorang fotografer untuk cover seluruh majlis seorang diri. Jadi, sekiranya majlis anda besar, kami nasihatkan supaya cari fotografer yang mempunyai team sendiri. Lihat pakej dan pandai-pandailah berunding tentang harga dengan mereka.

Image via Instagram @ali_imran93

9. Clear dengan cara bayaran

Sebagai pengantin, anda perlu jelas dengan cara bayaran bermula dari deposit sehinggalah selesai semasa mengambil gambar dan album. Deal betul-betul dengan fotografer, berapa kali bayaran perlu dibuat. Make sure anda terima resit supaya anda sendiri sedia maklum berapa bayaran yang sudah dibuat dan baki yang tinggal.

Image via Project Secret Pictures

10. Pastikan ada hitam & putih

Mungkin tak semua fotografer buat benda macam ni. Tapi kami ingatkan supaya ada 'hitam putih' semasa anda menggunakan khidmat mereka. Ini bukan saja memudahkan kerja anda malah juga memudahkan kerja fotografer. Tak kisahlah sekiranya fotografer anda tu kawan baik sendiri ke apa, zaman sekarang 'hitam putih' ni memang penting.

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

An old video showing then urban wellbeing, housing, and local government minister Tan Sri Noh Omar struggling to speak English while onstage has surfaced and gone viral on social media

In a three-minute long video, Noh Omar — who is currently Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister — can be seen speaking at a lectern with the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) logo on it.A six-second long clip that garnered over 2,100 retweets shows Noh Omar having difficulty saying the word 'congratulate'."Congratulate is quite tricky to pronounce. If you don't believe me, listen to this," said author Ibnu Din Assingkiri, who shared a snippet of Noh Omar's speech on Twitter.

Congratulate pun sangat tricky nak sebut sebenarnya. Tak caya dengaq ni. pic.twitter.com/QSB40UnGn7— Sanusi Ibnu Din Assingkiri (@IDAssingkiri) September 4, 2021

Noh Omar continues the rest of his speech in an unclear articulation.The video has led to many netizens questioning the government of the day on the minister's recent appointment, with some calling his speech "disgraceful".

According to media reports at the time, Noh Omar was speaking at the ninth World Urban Forum (WUF9) in February 2018

The one-week long forum was held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). It was convened by UN-Habitat, a United Nations department that works towards a better quality of life for all in an urbanising world.The objective of the forum was to bring together thousands of stakeholders to share practices and knowledge on how cities are built, planned, and managed.

He shared, "We saw major changes in the education system in the past two years. Teachers had to transition from in-person classes to fully remote online classes, to different versions of hybrid learning in between."Which is why it is all the more important for AGI McDonald's to continue to celebrate these teachers in 2022, for their substantial efforts in ensuring that there's a continuation of education for students across the nation."These teachers inspire students to grow as individuals in realising their potential and aspirations. They sacrifice their needs for the needs of students while becoming a positive influence in the students' life that can shift their perspectives and make a significant impact in their lives."

Sabah Man Fined For Using WhatsApp To Spread Lies About A Prisoner Dying From Coronavirus

In Malaysia, there has been no COVID-19-related death.
But that hasn't stopped rumour-mongers from claiming otherwise.

In fact, even before the outbreak reached here, a man in Sabah used WhatsApp on 23 January to spread misinformation about how a prisoner in Sandakan Prison got infected and died from COVID-19, the official name given by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).While the coronavirus that originated from the Chinese city of Wuhan in late December has killed over 1,115 people as of this writing, there have been no deaths from the disease in Malaysia.According to the Ministry of Health (MOH), the total number of people who are infected with coronavirus in Malaysia remains at 18, out of which three have been cured and discharged.

Tiada tambahan kes #COVID19 di Malaysia. Kekal 18 kes setakat ini.Ini termasuk 3 kes yang telah sembuh dan discaj hospital.Total number of cases in Malaysia remained at 18 including 3 have been cured and discharged. pic.twitter.com/rqfMlVHm4l— KKMPutrajaya (@KKMPutrajaya) February 12, 2020

The 67-year-old man, who is a retired employee of the Sabah State Railway Department, was charged with circulating misinformation and causing public mischief under Section 505 (b) of the Penal Code

A Bernama report carried by Malay Mail said that the offence was committed at Lot 70, Jalan Selunsung, Taman Sempelang, Kota Kinabalu, at 9.34pm on 23 January. Following which, the man's lie about the prisoner dying was read by an officer of the Sandakan Prison  at 10.46am the next day.The government retiree pleaded guilty to the offence in front of Magistrate Suhailla Selag today, 12 February. Magistrate Suhailla then meted out a fine of RM5,000 on the accused, identified as Aliuudin Amit.While Section 505 (b) of the Penal Code provides imprisonment for up to two years, or fine, or both if found guilty, the Magistrate heard an unrepresented Aliuudin promising not to repeat the mistake.The retiree claimed that had no intention of causing embarrassment to anyone with his action.

In contrast to the actual number of people who are infected in the country, authorities are investigating a total of 22 Malaysians for spreading misinformation or rumours about the outbreak

In a report on 10 February, Malay Mail cited Roze Shaari, who is the deputy director for Intelligence/Operations at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) saying that they have opened 22 investigations over fake news and rumours about the coronavirus.While authorities in Malaysia have been pursuing those spreading fake news about the coronavirus, CID deputy director Roze has urged the public not to spread unverified information on social media.

Syed Saddiq: "Special Treatment" Towards Politicians Caused COVID-19 Cases To Spike

Former youth and sports minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has attributed the double standard in Putrajaya's treatment towards politicians and citizens to the spike of COVID-19 cases lately

The Muar Member of Parliament's (MP) public censure came after Malaysia had on Thursday, 1 October, recorded 260 COVID-19 cases — the second-highest jump in numbers over a single day since the pandemic reached Malaysia.In a series of tweets, Syed Saddiq said, "Because of 'special treatment' we are facing a new wave of COVID-19. 260 new cases!"He said he had taken a COVID-19 test upon returning from Sabah and the result came back negative.Despite that, the 27-year-old said he will comply with the directive to undergo self-quarantine for 14-days as a preservative measure — a practice that he claims other politicians are not following.

"There is still no action taken against the deputy minister who went on holiday to Turkey and did not quarantine," he said

"Politicians returning from Sabah are not quarantined because they are stubborn.""Double standard! If the Movement Control Order (is implemented again), they will go on leave, while Malaysians will be deprived of work indefinitely."

He also posted the hashtag #EmpatBelas, urging politicians to quarantine for the sake of rakyat

At the time of writing, hashtags such as #KlusterMenteri, #PoliticiansPuncaVirus, and #RakyatJagaRakyat are trending on Twitter with 69,000 tweets collectively.

Masih tiada tindakan ke atas Timbalan Menteri yang bercuti ke Turkey & tak kuarantin.Masih ada ahli politik yang balik dari Sabah tapi degil tak nak kuarantin. Satu Malaysia terkesan.Double standards!Kalau PKP,Mereka cuti,Rakyat dicutikan selama lamanya dari berkerja.— Syed Saddiq  (@SyedSaddiq) October 1, 2020

According to Bernama, Rantau Abang Fisheries Research Institute (FRI) Marine Mammal Branch chief Mohd Tamimi Ali Ahmad said fishermen found the dead 5.7m-long shark floating by them around 3pm on Friday, 22 January.After being notified, a joint operation to recover the body of the Rhincodon Typus was conducted by the Rantau Abang FRI, Kampung Acheh FRI, and the My Teluk Senangin fishery community.They found the shark's carcass near the Damar Laut Jetty at 6.30pm the next day."The carcass was found in a mangrove area, which made it difficult for us to look for it," Mohd Tamimi told reporters at the jetty on Sunday, 24 January.

They believe the five-year-old male whale shark had been dead for four days before it was found

Mohd Tamimi said the carcass was towed to the Kampung Acheh Fisheries Jetty for a post-mortem, which found that its right pectoral fin had been cut off.Meanwhile the post-mortem also revealed that the creature's stomach was excessively bloated with 37.9 litres of water and contained garbage including branches and plastics.

The FRI chief said they are still investigating the whale shark's cause of death and are not yet ruling out poachers

Mohd Tamimi said irresponsible parties often kill sharks for their fins as a bowl of shark fin soup could cost anything from RM100 to RM1,000.He added that the sharks are normally found south of Pulau Pangkor at Pulau Sembilan, Bagan Datuk where the area is rich in anchovies and prawns.He reminded the public not to disturb the animals as they are an endangered marine species protected under the Fisheries Act 1985.

Here's What Could Happen If Trump Actually Refuses To Accept The US Election Result

At the 3rd and final 2016 US Presidential Debate, Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump suggested that he might not accept the results of the November election, i.e., if the results are not in his favour and Hillary wins, he would not concede defeat

Image via The Washington Post

His statement has set off a huge storm with the Democratic Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton, calling it  "horrifying" and terming it "an attack on 240 years of US democracy"

However, while as "horrifying" as it may be, this wasn't what the Republican Presidential Candidate had said during the first Presidential Debate 25 days ago. When NBC's Lester Holt asked if Trump would accept a Clinton victory on Election Day; Trump, after some prodding, said he would "absolutely" support Clinton as president.Then three days later, he was telling the New York Times that he was rethinking his statement, saying: "We're going to have to see. We're going to see what happens."And now, hours after the third Presidential Debate, in which he refused to commit to accepting the results of the Presidential election regardless of the outcome, Trump told an Ohio crowd that he would absolutely accept the results of the election "if I win."

NOW: Trump makes a major announcement at Ohio rally https://t.co/H9n7JKbYS7 pic.twitter.com/sFyK2NPHap— CBS News (@CBSNews) October 20, 2016

As it's clear, Donald Trump is basically undermining the legitimacy of the 2016 Presidential election, which is less than 3 weeks away

And in doing so, Donald Trump, as Dara Lind of Vox notes, is encouraging millions of Americans to preemptively reject the legitimate outcome of a Presidential election just because "the wrong person" won, in this case, Hillary Clinton.So what happens if Trump actually refuses to accept the US election result?Legally, a refusal to concede defeat makes no difference whatsoever. A concession, which in itself means nothing legally, is an American tradition and an act of political goodwill that allows for the transfer of executive power without violence or unrest and is valuable for allowing the legitimacy of the system to remain intact for the next POTUS.However, if the election result is a close one, Donald Trump does have the legal right to contest the outcome and demand a recount.Additionally, in case, of an electoral fraud, as he has been suggesting, he can issue lawsuits against officials in any of the states suspected of wrongdoing.

Trump, while painting himself as a victim of conspiracies, is stoking anger in advance of what may be a defeat on 8 November and has started encouraging his supporters to sign up online to be "election observers" to stop "Crooked Hillary from rigging this election"

Image via Spencer Platt/Getty Images via Vox

His supporters believe that Trump is going to win the popular vote but the Electoral College would still elect Hillary Clinton because there is corruption.Trump has warned his supporters to "watch your polling booths".One of his supporters recently said, "We're heading toward North Korea", saying if he doesn’t win, the United States government will be no better than dictatorships.Heeding his call to watch the polling booths, one Steve Webb from Ohio said, "I'm going to go, for sure. I'll look for, well, it’s called racial profiling. Mexicans. Syrians. People who can’t speak American. I’m going to go right up behind them. I’ll do everything legally. I want to see if they are accountable. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous,” he said.

While his legal options are limited, Trump, if he actually refuses to accept defeat if Hillary wins, would smash centuries of American history and could very well cause violence on the streets of America

Trump, who commands a loyal following among his supporters, holds a major power via the Internet and a considerable amount of media under his thumb to spread whatever theories he wishes to at any given time.Just last month, Trump sparked a backlash after suggesting "Second Amendment people", or gun owners, could take action against Hillary Clinton.And the fact that he has successfully managed to portray himself as an anti-establishment guy who is being victimised by Hillary Clinton and her elite supporters, will only contribute to making him more dangerously appealing to millions.His continuous insinuation that the election is being rigged, had led to some frightening remarks by his ardent supporters.For example, a contractor in Cincinnati told the Boston Globe that if Hillary Clinton wins, "I hope we can start a coup", adding, "We're going to have a revolution and take them out of office. There's going to be a lot of bloodshed."Trump, with his politics of hate and divisiveness, has successfully created an us-versus-them mentality among his millions of supporters. While he has denied using hate speech or playing any part in fostering division, anger and hostility from his supporters have been the most overwhelming sentiments at his rallies.

Mahathir Will Be The 7th Malaysian PM If Pakatan Harapan Wins GE14

92-year-old Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been named as Pakatan Harapan's prime ministerial candidate for the 14th General Election

Pakatan Harapan made the announcement at its convention yesterday, 7 January. The decision, however, comes with a condition that requires Dr Mahathir to vacate the post after jailed de facto opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim becomes eligible to be appointed as the prime minister. Anwar is currently serving a five-year sentence for sodomy and is due to be released on 8 June. He is not allowed to run for political office for five years after his release, unless he is given a royal pardon. Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail will be Dr Mahathir's deputy if Pakatan Harapan wins GE14. Dr Mahathir is Malaysia's longest serving prime minister, leading the country's longest ruling party, Barisan Nasional, for a total of 22 years. He served five terms as the prime minister of Malaysia.

Dr Mahathir responded by thanking Anwar for accepting this decision and agreeing to work together for GE14's election victory

"I am indebted and thank Anwar for the willingness to cooperate with me and my team in our efforts to save this country," said Dr Mahathir, as reported by theSundaily today."It wasn't easy for me to join a movement that was not happy with me in the past, but the effort to topple Najib is greater than my feelings. Therefore, I am willing to cooperate and listen to the criticism towards my old party," he added.  Anwar was the deputy prime minister and finance minister before he was fired in 1998 by Mahathir. He was sentenced to six years in prison for corruption in 1999 and got nine years in prison for sodomy charges in 2000. It was his arrest that sparked the opposition movement led by his wife, Dr Wan Azizah. After years of being one of Anwar's biggest critics, in 2016, Dr Mahathir left UMNO and formed an alliance with the opposition coalition under the newly-formed Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia.

Meanwhile, responding to Harapan's decision, Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin thinks that it will lead to political instability in the future

Khairy, who is also the Youth and Sports Minister, stressed that this could be due to the uncertainty among investors as Dr Mahathir's term as the prime minister will be a temporary one, depending on when and if Anwar is given a royal pardon to take office. "If we were to look back at events in 1998, there was an upheaval in the country following the sacking of Anwar by Dr Mahathir who was the prime minister. "Today they may be friends because they have a common enemy... but the 1998 unrest cannot simply be forgotten. Do you think Dr Mahathir will hand over the prime minister's post easily after six months or a year... and will Anwar wait patiently to take over as prime minister?" questioned Khairy, as reported by Bernama.

MCA publicity spokesperson Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker said that the decision shows that both Anwar and Dr Mahathir have "cheated their supporters and sympathisers and caused irreparable damage to the political system"

"These two men are not statesmen who have the nation in their hearts and mind. They are leaders the people have been living under their shadows and ambitions and are merely pawns in their bigger game of power and political agenda. "The only logical conclusion for the choice made, despite all the brouhaha on morality, political decencies, and cronyism, Pakatan Harapan is not serious about the change they have been promoting and promising the people. For these two same old me, it's just poltics as usual. "We are back to square one after 20 years," he said in a statement last night, as reported by Malay Mail Online.

1. "It's really fun to grow up with a dad who knows how to have fun as well"

"My fave memory with my dad was when he used to take my friends and I to Central Park near 1 Utama. Back then, there was a huge wooden ship at the park that we loved to play on."He'd come up with what he called 'obstacle courses' for us where we'd have to race against time to complete different fun tasks, like hopping and jumping, or swinging around."It's really fun to grow up with a dad who knows how to have fun as well."- Tammy

2. "My dad would always get up early to make us breakfast every morning before school"

"My dad would always get up early to make us breakfast every morning before school. My brother and I always appreciated that because we usually cannot function before 7am, hahaha."My favourite breakfast by him were his chicken steak sandwiches, or some good ol' oats."- Fionaa

3. "He made sure my sister and I started playing piano from a young age"

Jeremy with his father, Ng Kok Aun, playing the piano in 1996.

"My dad wanted to become a concert pianist."Unfortunately, his parents didn't allow him to learn the piano when he was growing up. I guess that's why he married my mum (a piano teacher), and made sure my sister and I started playing from a young age."While I didn't manage to fulfil his dream, I'm grateful that I grew up to be pretty musical – I ended up picking up drums instead. But we all know who the most musical one in the family will always be!"P.S. My dad still absolutely loves to play the piano up until today."- Jeremy

4. "I am so lucky and grateful to have a father like him"

"I still remember this day. It was Hari Raya, and my father gave me a present to celebrate the day, which is a bag for me to collect duit raya."I would say that my father is a happy-go-lucky person and always entertains us. He is a loving and kind-hearted person. I am so lucky and grateful to have a father like him."Also, in that year, we welcomed an additional member in our family, which is my baby brother and I'm very happy to celebrate Eid together with my family."- Nany

5. "We were besties since I was a baby"

"I had an awesome childhood because of my papa. We were besties since I was a baby."Every weekend we would go for long walks and chit chat about this, that, and everything else. None of my siblings were really into sports, so my dad and I would watch tennis together or spend hours watching Formula 1 racing."When I was around nine years old, I told him I would be the first female F1 racer and he was like, 'Yeah! Go for it!' Didn't quite work out haha. But it's definitely still one of my favourite memories."- Laila

6. "I always, always make sure to spend some time with him, no matter how busy I get"

Timothy and his dad, Vincent, in 1999.

"When my dad switched to a higher-paying job, he was posted to Johor."And since he was new, he was really busy, so he returned to KL about once a month, or sometimes once in two months."You see, my dad and I, we didn't exactly have a close bond when I was growing up. I spent most of my time playing games or reading books, not caring about what was going on around me. At that time, I was also going through some teenager phase, so I argued with him a lot."But when he started working in Johor, the house felt so empty without him around. That's when I realised how much I took him for granted."One time, we decided to drive to Melaka for the weekend, so that we could meet my dad because we hadn't seen him for almost two months then. We wanted to save him the trouble of having to travel all the way back to KL as well. Yeah, so we really enjoyed our weekend together in Melaka that time. It felt like the family was complete."When we had to return to KL, I got really emotional and hugged him tightly. I'm pretty sure I felt my eyes swimming in tears, but I repeatedly told myself not to cry. I remember also telling myself that I must never take him for granted again. That I'd make sure to always spend time with him whenever he's home."From that moment onwards, my relationship with my dad improved significantly. He comes home more often now, once every two weeks (not during MCO) and I always, always make sure to spend some time with him, no matter how busy I get."- Timothy

7. "He makes friends easily regardless of age, can talk about almost anything to anyone, and is a real kid at heart"

Ashley with her dad, Constantine, in 1998.

"Let me just start off by saying that my dad is an extremely outgoing and oftentimes loud person."Like, he makes friends easily regardless of age, can talk about almost anything to anyone and is a real kid at heart. He's also the kind of person who would do dumb-looking stuff if you asked him to, just for funsies."So there was a time where my family was having lunch at Johnny Rockets (back when it was still a thing) and anyone who has been to Johnny Rockets knows that the crew perform once an hour or something like that. So that very day, during that very lunch hour, the crew performed Gangnam Style."Niiiiice, just my luck. So my dad started singing along and at the short pause (of complete silence) right before Psy went 'OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!', guess who decides to shout it first?"That's right. My dad. My dad shouting 'OPPA GANGNAM STYLE' ... in the middle of a mall ... when everyone else was waiting for the beat to drop. I think the funniest part was that I was so embarrassed that I cried. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA."P.S. Even though it was embarrassing I still love him."- Ashley

8. "My favourite memories with my dad are when we went on road trips together as a family"

Tiffany with her father, Tay, in 1999.

"My favourite memories with my dad are when we went on road trips together as a family. I always looked forward to the year-end school holidays as we would go for short staycations around the country."During my childhood years, we would frequently visit Genting Highlands, and we have many fond memories of the times we spent there."- Tiffany

9. "My favourite thing about my dad is the fact that he is passionate about so many different things, teaching me to have my own hobbies and interests"

Arisha with her father, Rozaidee, in 1999.

"My favourite thing about my dad is the fact that he is passionate about so many different things, teaching me to have my own hobbies and interests."He has always loved fishing, he used to be really into photography, and even cycling. I think it's really important to enjoy hobbies, regardless of what your age is because it brings joy into your life. Each one of my siblings have their own hobbies and passions and my parents have always shown their support for all of them. They encourage us to join activities in school and will show up to every sports game, concert, drama night."I feel like this has shaped me to become the confident woman that I am, knowing that my parents will always have my back and they will always encourage me to pursue what I love."- Arisha

10. "My diet right now isn't working because of my dad"

Ashiqin (middle) with her dad, Mohd Rosselly Awang, brother, and sister in 1995.

"Hmm let's see. My diet right now isn't working because of my dad."Like every time I tell him I want to go on a diet, his response would be 'okay'. But next thing I know, he'll buy me burger daging special (my favourite) and with double patties some more!"Then he'll cook his signature dish, ikan patin tempoyak, which I also like, and a lot more lah."In an Asian household, you cannot say no when your parents give you food lah, right? So, yeah, I can never go on a diet."- Ashiqin

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Thank you for all that you do and the love that you give us.
