The coroner's court today ruled the death of 6-year-old William Yau last January as a misadventure.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"This court rejects the criminal involvement of any party, including the parents of the deceased as the cause of his death. Even then, this court does not reject any elements of negligence that could have led to his death," said Mohd Hezri.

        thesundaily.my

"At the time of his death, he was six years old. A boy of that age would be prone to making mistakes due to his immaturity. The court does not reject the possibility that he left his parents car and headed towards the field," said Mohd Hezri.

        thesundaily.my

The court also dismissed the possibility that William was kidnapped and murdered.

Palestine Thanks M'sian Authorities For Rescuing Citizen Kidnapped By Local Mossad Agents

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

The Palestinian Interior and National Security Ministry has thanked Malaysian authorities for rescuing a Palestinian from Gaza who was kidnapped in Malaysia recently

The ministry expressed its gratitude through a statement on its Facebook page towards the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and security services on 18 October.According to The Star, the police rescued the 31-year-old victim a day after he was kidnapped by a group of locals allegedly recruited by Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, to assist the Zionist regime in hunting Hamas members in Malaysia on 28 September."They (the Malaysian police) were able to expose the members of the Mossad cell, as well as pursue and track their larger network," the ministry mentioned in its Facebook statement."We strongly condemn this outrageous crime committed by the Israeli occupation against one of our Palestinian people in Malaysia, and we demand that those responsible be held accountable and sentenced."

Between 29 September and 4 October, police arrested 18 people in separate operations in Kuala Langat, Ampang, and Beranang in Selangor, as well as in Melaka

Bernama reported that 11 people, aged between 21 and 40, were charged with kidnapping at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court on 14 October.They were accused of committing the crime on Jalan Mayang, at 10.40pm on 28 September, and were charged under Section 3 of the Kidnapping Act 1961, read in conjunction with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carries a potential death sentence or life imprisonment and whipping if proven guilty.

Last year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob denounced the "systematic oppression" faced by Palestinians at the hands of Israel:

"It's A Safety Hazard" — Wheelchair User Spotlights Bikes & Cars Blocking Crucial Pathways

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

The unquestionable difficulties people with disabilities (PWDs) face in their day-to-day lives cannot be understated — and it isn't made easier by those who refuse to acknowledge the struggle they face in silence

31-year-old Daniel Lee is no stranger to the spotlight when it comes to sports in Malaysia. An inspirational speaker and currently Malaysia's only wheelchair racing athlete, Lee was born with a condition known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta, specifically type one, which in layman's terms means that he was born with brittle bones.The severity of his condition caused him to stop walking by the age of three, and made him reconsider the idea of partaking in sports at a young age. However, against the odds, Lee immersed himself into the world of sports at 21, and went on to compete in the 2013 Asian Para Youth Games. Going for the gold, Lee's current goal is to qualify for wheelchair racing at the 2024 Paralympics, which would see him become the first Malaysian to partake in that category.Despite his brazen spirit and turbulent determination to achieve greatness, Lee has also been candid in sharing his experiences as a disabled person in Malaysia.

In a recent post to his Instagram page, Lee highlighted a sight far too familiar at an LRT station — lanes designated to be used by PWDs that were blocked by motorcycles and cars

In the post, Lee shared a photo which showed a car and motorcycle block the aisle which is meant to be used by PWDs to cross from the station to the road. Lee revealed to SAYS that this incident happened at the Wangsa Maju LRT station.Upon a deeper inspection of the image, it can be deciphered that the motorcyclist was a Grab delivery rider. Sharing his experience in the caption of the post, Lee stated that it is almost expected that every time he uses the LRT, a motorcycle or car would block accessible pathways for PWDs."There were times when I had to wait 15 minutes in order to go through, as it's blocked completely by delivery bikes. It also poses a safety hazard for people who are blind or have other disabilities," he wrote.

Image via @pushtoinspire (Instagram)

Lee also pointed out how the tactile paving on the road is meant to be used by individuals who are blind. Continuing on, Lee noted that though the aisle is not fully blocked, it is definitely enough to obstruct his way and prevent him from exiting. "I'm not sure what can be done to change the mentality of Malaysian riders or drivers in general. But maybe a good start is for companies in the transport and delivery industry to include training for their riders and drivers to be considerate of accessibility for PWDs, or respect basic parking or driving etiquette," he stated.In a comment Lee attached under his post, he also stated that while he dislikes the idea of posting anything negative on social media, discomfort is sometimes necessary for change. "For now, I'll take small steps to create awareness and hopefully one day I'll find greater courage to be more outspoken in making a difference."

Ending his post, Lee also tagged other e-delivery services, saying that they are in a greater position to make a huge difference

Since tagging them, Grab Malaysia has responded to Lee's post, thanking him for bringing the matter to their attention and apologising for the inconvenience they may have caused PWDs."At Grab, it is a priority to take care of our community and we do not tolerate such behaviour. We will take note of this incident and make sure to educate our drivers to provide friendly and accessible services to the community," the comment read.

Image via @pushtoinspire (Instagram)

Additionally, after another user tagged Rapid KL's Instagram page under the post, Lee notified the mass transportation system of the location of the stop and the frequency of this occurrence.In response, Rapid KL ensured that they would get auxiliary police officers to monitor the stations.

Image via @pushtoinspire (Instagram)

Nevertheless, a slew of other Instagram users praised Lee for sharing his experience, and encouraged him that change will come in time.

Image via @pushtoinspire (Instagram)

During a conversation with SAYS on this experience, Lee was candid about his hope for Malaysians to recognise the existence of PWDs moving forward

Clarifying with candour, Lee stated that sometimes it may not be easy to notice these instances because people don't see PWDs in public very often.

			However, it's not easy for PWDs to be out and about independently because sometimes we're faced with situations that are not supposed to happen.
        Daniel Lee.

Providing further examples, Lee stated that other issues faced by PWDs also include blocked pathways, lack of facilities, broken elevator systems, ramps that are too steep, and many more. "It'll take time. But if all of us start thinking about how we can make Malaysia a more inclusive and accessible place for PWDs, I'm sure we'll see considerable changes in the future," he conveyed to this SAYS writer.

While clarity and change may not happen overnight, we at SAYS stand with PWDs in spreading a message of support and awareness on this crucial topic

Follow Lee and his endeavours on Instagram, and check out his plans for the coming year in a recent interview he had with Sony Electronics.

Last October, Lee also shared with SAYS an experience he had where an airline refused to let him board a plane without a companion:

                M'sian Para-Athlete In Disbelief After He's Stopped From Boarding Plane Without Companion

As a fully independent wheelchair user who had travelled alone to a sports conference in Egypt, Lee said it was absurd.

Not too long ago, another man was forced to wheel himself on the road after a lane designated for wheelchair users was blocked by motorcycles:

                Motorcycles Parked On Wheelchair-Friendly Sidewalk Forces Man To Have To Wheel On The Road

"No one is bothering to get down or offer help."

Tips ‘Solo Travel’ Dari Wanita Ini Sangat Penting Untuk Percutian Yang Lebih ‘Smooth’

Bila bercakap tentang travel, mesti anda berfikiran akan ada partner yang bersama ketika bercuti. Yelah, jarang sekali tengok orang bercuti seorang diri lebih-lebih lagi di negara asing buat kali pertama.

Namun, bagaimana pula dengan orang yang memang sukakan aktiviti yang sangat mencabar ini? Siap berani untuk travel seorang diri. Menurut mereka, bila travel sendiri ini lebih senang untuk berjalan.Contoh kalau anda seorang yang memang low-maintenance habis dan boleh tidur di hotel bajet sekali pun tapi dapat travel partner yang suka tidur hotel mahal, tak nak bercuti jenis backpacking, siap lambat dan sebagainya, susah tau!

Image via Giphy

Banyak tempat yang perlu anda terokai ketika bercuti. Maklumlah, untuk ke luar negara bukannya semudah yang disangka. Banyak prosedur yang perlu ditempuhi, banyak wang yang perlu disimpan dan preparation yang betul untuk sampai ke negara yang dipilih.Itinerari juga perlu lengkap ya!

Seorang wanita di laman Twitter telah berkongsi tips yang sangat berguna untuk anda yang mungkin suka atau ingin mencuba untuk travel secara 'solo'.
Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

SEBELUM TRAVEL:

Image via Twitter @jomroundsydxtyo

Bawa pakaian yang sesuai dengan cuaca negara yang dituju. Bajet pun penting untuk anda tahu berapa yang akan digunakan nanti. Jangan overspend!

Image via Twitter @jomroundsydxtyo

Kalau anda jenis yang suka update media sosial semasa bercuti, bolehlah beli sim kad, lebih murah dan berbaloi. Kalau nak roaming pun boleh cuma mahal sikitlah.

Image via Twitter @jomroundsydxtyo

Jika anda travel seorang diri, pastikan ada kawan di negara itu untuk bawa anda explore semua tempat. Jangan pergi seorang, bahaya!

Image via Twitter @jomroundsydxtyo

SEMASA TRAVEL:

Jaga barangan milik anda jika anda berkongsi bilik dengan orang yang tak dikenali. Beritahu semua keluarga dan rakan di mana lokasi anda supaya jika ada emergency, mereka tahu apa yang perlu dilakukan.

Image via Twitter @jomroundsydxtyo

SELEPAS TRAVEL:

Biarkan badan anda berehat buat sementara waktu selepas pulang dari bercuti. Anda mungkin akan demam atau kepenatan. Namun, ianya adalah normal.

Tak susah pun bukan untuk travel solo? ;)

Granny Prostitutes Expose The Ugly Truth About Poor Old People In South Korea

When we think about South Korea, the first thing that may come to our mind is the celebrated K-pop culture. Sadly, while its teens are being sold the K-pop stardom dream, the country's elderly people are suffering in poverty.

Image via Park Hae-mook/The Korea Herald

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) report in 2015 revealed that nearly half of the nation's elderly live in poverty. South Korea is one of the countries in the world with the fastest ageing populations, and this is rather worrying as it is still lagging behind other developed countries in terms of pension and welfare systems.  It is a also growing concern since the suicide rate among South Koreans who are aged 65 and older have increased at a distressing rate in the last decade.

What's rather shocking is that the harsh reality has forced some of these poor elderly women into prostitution.

Imagine this: A woman in her 70s is lurking around the streets soliciting customers and offering them sexual service for money.

Image via CNA

A recent exclusive documentary by Channel NewsAsia (CNA) tells the story of Madam Park (not her real name), one of the granny prostitutes in South Korea.  As part of the CNA's investigative programme Get Rea!'s subject, the team found Madam Park at central Jongo district, Seoul in broad daylight.  "You came to play? To meet someone? The room fee is USD10 (RM44). The fee for the woman is USD30 (RM132)," the 78-year-old said when approached by the CNA team.

Gone are the days when elderly women like Madam Park can be at home, enjoying their retirement days. They now have to spend their finals days as senior prostitutes just to make ends meet.

It was revealed that Madam Park spends at least six hours every single day to wait for customers just so that she could afford to get arthritis medicine that costs USD250 (RM1107) a month. "In order to survive, I just close my eyes and get it over with," she told CNA in Korean. "In one day, if there is good luck, we meet three to four men and receive about 100,000 won (RM380)."

She has spent the last few decades struggling to survive ever since her husband gambled away the family home when she was in her late 20s

Image via CNA

After they lost everything, her husband left her alone despite knowing that she was suffering from severe neuralgia (a painful nerve condition).Madam Park single-handedly raised her four children with the little money she got from working as a kitchen helper.   However, she could not afford to give them education and none of them went to school. Today, she has been abandoned by her own children who don't even have enough money to support her.  According to CNA, she currently lives with her relatives in a small house and they have barely enough to survive.

She turned to prostitution a few years ago when her knees gave way

Due to her bad knees, she cannot do most jobs. She then resorted to standing six hours a day, finding for clients. "On the way to the hotel, customers realise that I cannot even walk properly. They are curious to know how a grandmother who cannot walk can do this service," she said. It was reported that Madam Park has been caught and fined several times by the police since prostitution is illegal but she has continued to do this despite being ashamed because there was no other choice. "I'm more worried about what people will say when they find out that I am an elderly prostitute than about being caught.""It is embarrassing. I am embarrassed because I am old."

Madam Park's heartbreaking story sheds light on this growing phenomenon, where elderly prostitutes known as 'Bacchus Ladies' go around Seoul soliciting for sex

Image via NYPost

She told CNA that she is the second oldest sex worker in the street, the oldest being an 82-year-old grandmother. She also revealed that none of the 'Bacchus Laddies' are younger than 50, and all of them have grandchildren.  According to Professor Lee Ho-Sun from the Korea Soongsil Cyber University in Seoul, who has been spending years studying this group of elderly women, there were about 300 to 400 'Bacchus Ladies' in 2013 to 2014 in the Jongno neighbourhood alone. It was said that their children do not earn enough to support their parents, thus leaving them behind to fend for themselves. "I cannot tell when they (Bacchus Ladies) started but most of them were neglected during the currency crisis in 1997. Families could not really support their parents as before. So, the senior citizens became homeless and… since they do not have much skills, all they could do was become a prostitute," she was quoted as saying by CNA."Children are not in the position to take care of their parents. The elderly problem in South Korea is very shameful. Unless the young adult’s problems are solved, we cannot solve the elderly's problems," she added.

Lelaki Yang Pasang Niat Nak Kahwin Tu, Ubah Dulu 5 Tabiat Ni. Nombor 1 & 5 Paling Penting!

Dalam perkahwinan, baik suami mahupun isteri mempunyai tanggungjawab masing-masing dalam menguruskan rumah tangga

Meskipun begitu, umum sudah tahu bahawa suami merupakan ketua keluarga dan pemimpin bagi isteri dan anak-anaknya. Firman Allah dalam surah an-Nisa’ ayat 34 bermaksud: “Kaum lelaki itu adalah pemimpin dan pengawal yang bertanggungjawab terhadap kaum perempuan”.

Image via Oo Belog

Sehubungan dengan itu, agama Islam sendiri mewajibkan kepada para suami dan ketua keluarga ini untuk melaksanakan tanggungjawab mengemudi rumah tangga ke arah peraturan dan disiplin yang telah digariskan di dalam ajaran Islam.Firman Allah dalam Surah al-Tahrim ayat 6 yang bermaksud: “Wahai orang yang beriman! Peliharalah diri kamu dan keluarga kamu dari neraka yang bahan-bahan bakarannya terdiri daripada manusia dan batu (berhala)…”

Image via Sirap Limau

Oleh yang demikian, seorang lelaki perlulah mempersiapkan dirinya dan mengubah beberapa tabiat yang mungkin dia sudah terbiasa ketika masih bujang sebelum mendirikan rumah tangga dan menjadi seorang suami.

Ikuti perkongsian yang dibuat oleh saudara Firdaus Shakirin berkenaan tabiat-tabiat yang perlu diubah, di bawah:

1. Mendirikan solat

Kalau sekarang ini tidak solat atau solat ikut kerajinan, maka mulai hari ini, jangan pernah tinggal solat dan sentiasalah solat pada awal waktu.

Image via Glam Lelaki

Tapi kalau kita masih sama, masih bawa perangai solat ikut rajin atau tidak solat langsung di dalam rumah tangga yang akan didirikan, maka rumah tangga itu tidak akan dapat bertahan lama. Sebab imamnya sahaja boleh meninggalkan Allah SWT, apatah lagi manusia.

2. Mempunyai kerja yang stabil

Bila nak berkahwin, pastikan anda sudah mempunyai kerja yang stabil yang mana anda selesa disitu dan bakal berkhidmat disitu untuk satu tempoh yang tertentu.

Image via Baitul Jannah

Ini kerana hendak 'bela' anak orang, hendak jaga anak orang, kerja tidak boleh ikut suka hati, tidak boleh kerja sekejap kemudian berhenti lalu menganggur sehingga dapat kerja yang sesuai, yang mengikut citarasa anda sendiri. Tidak boleh macam itu sebab kita ada anak isteri untuk ditanggung dan disara dengan hasil gaji yang kita dapat setiap bulan. Oleh itu, pastikan anda mempunyai kerja yang stabil dan pendapatan bulanan yang tetap dahulu.

3. Ubah perangai bujang

Perangai bujang ini banyak kalau nak disenaraikan. Merempit, melepak, keluar dan balik rumah ikut suka hati dan sebagainya.

Gambar adalah sekadar hiasan.
Image via Mingguan Wanita

Maka kita perlu ubah smua ini. Perlu ubah gaya hidup kita itu dengan membawa motor secara berhati-hati, mengurangkan keluar melepak dan keluar rumah pada masa-masa yang sesuai serta balik rumah sebelum tengah malam. Didik diri untuk selesa dengan amalan macam itu supaya bila kita sudah berkahwin kelak, kita tak cenderung untuk membuat perangai-perangai masa kita bujang dulu.

4. Belajar mengemas rumah

Jangan terus letak dalam minda yang kerja rumah adalah kerja isteri sahaja.

Image via Era Kini

Kta sebagai lelaki juga perlu tahu untuk membuat kerja-kerja rumah. Perlu tahu cara menyapu sampah, mop lantai, mengemas rumah, menyidai serta melipat baju dan sebagainya supaya bila kita sudah berkahwin nanti, kita masih boleh meneruskan apa yang kita sudah biasa buatBila sudah selalu buat itu, percayalah, ianya akan mengurangkan bebanan isteri sebanyak 50% dan lelaki nampak lebih 'macho' jika tahu membuat kerja-kerja rumah.

5. Berhenti menjadi buaya darat & jaga batas pergaulan

Sekarang iaitu sebelum berkawin, mungkin kita mempunyai ramai kawan perempuan. Semua kita 'keep in touch', berhubung berjumpa dan keluar dengan mereka atas dasar "kawan".

Image via Baitul Jannah

Tapi bila sudah berkahwin, kita sudah tidak boleh keluar dengan perempuan walaupun dia itu seorang KAWAN SAHAJA sebab kita sudah mempunyai isteri, dan tiada keperluan untuk kita ada kawan perempuan yang kita masih rapat lagi.Kawan perempuan selepas berkahwin hanyalah si isteri seorang sahaja. Anda sudah perlu menjarakkan diri atau mengurangkan berhubung saat anda bakal menjadi suami kepada seseorang wanita.

Perkahwinan merupakan ikatan yang suci, yang mana menghalalkan hubungan di antara seorang lelaki dan seorang wanita

Image via Hanasuva

Perkahwinan bukan sekadar untuk memuaskan nafsu semata-mata tapi ianya merupakan satu tanggungjawab dan satu amanah untuk kita pikul, galas dan laksanakan sebagai seorang lelaki, suami, imam, pemimpin dan pembimbing kepada seorang wanita yang diciptakan dari rusuk kiri kita yang bengkok, untuk diluruskan dalam kita menuju ke jalan yang diredhai Allah SWT.Maka, ubah tabiat-tabiat yang dinyatakan jika kita ada pasang niat untuk mendirikan rumah tangga.

Semoga perkongsian ini memberi manfaat lebih-lebih buat mereka yang bakal mendirikan rumah tangga <3

"Grandma Got Game" – Senior Gamer Competes At Her First League Of Legends Tournament

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

While most grandmas would probably tell you to shut off your violent game and go touch some grass,  65-year-old Chiang Yi-Shu is likelier to check your strats, move you over, and show you how it's really done

For context, Chiang happens to be a member of Hungkuang Evergreen Gaming's team, established just this year and founded by Huang Jianji, director of the department of multimedia game development and application at Hungkuang University in Taiwan.On Saturday, 17 December, Chiang and her fellow elderly esports players, whose ages range from 62 to 69, tested their mettle for the first time at a League of Legends tournament held at  the same university.

However, it wasn't always this way for Taiwan's favourite gaming grandma, who had to start from zero to reach hero status

"Frankly speaking, I knew very little about computers. I never thought of learning about it, because I prefer interactions with people," Chiang told AP News."But when I started to play, I figured out that it was good for the brain. And especially the use of hands, you need to have dexterity."Her claims certainly go against conventional belief amongst the elderly that playing games "rots your brain", showing how Chiang isn't your typical grandma.

Image via AP photo/I-Hwa Cheng

Image via AP photo/I-Hwa Cheng

As a testament to her dedication, she would travel from her home in New Taipei City to the university located in Taichung, which takes an hour by high speed rail, specifically for the weekly training classes

According to Chiang's coach, Ego Hsu, there is a key difference in their training, as the main objective is for Chiang and her teammates to enjoy themselves."When they play a game, I would make them enjoy it instead of killing their characters all the time. I think that having the character killed all the time would make them depressed," she said.

Image via AP photo/I-Hwa Cheng

Sadly, Chiang's team did not win Saturday's tournament.But on a wholesome note, Chiang said that her newfound gaming habit helped her to overcome her ignorance of technology."It's not painstaking, but one must have the determination to do it, such as 'I don't want to lose. I have lived for some time now, and I should not let this beat me'," she declared triumphantly."And I overcame."Hold your head up high, queen, don't let your crown slip.

[VIDEO] "Boikot Ke Atas Brunei Adalah Amaran Kepada Malaysia" - George Clooney

April lalu, Sultan Brunei, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah mengumumkan pelaksanaan hukuman rejam sampai mati ke atas pesalah hubungan sejenis dan penzina di negara itu

Image via Mirror

Hukuman itu dijadualkan berkuatkuasa pada 10 April 2019 di bawah undang-undang syariah yang ditangguh selama 4 tahun kerana mendapat kritikan hebat.Negara kesultanan kecil itu akan melaksanakan kanun keseksaan baru yang tegas, yang turut menetapkan hukuman potong tangan dan kaki bagi kesalahan mencuri.

Keputusan itu mendapat kecaman dan bantahan hebat dari seluruh dunia khususnya negara-negara barat. Susulan daripada bantahan itu, Sultan Brunei menarik balik pelaksanaan tersebut.

Image via wsj.net

Untuk makluman, hukuman maksimum bagi kesalahan seks sesama lelaki di bawah undang-undang syariah adalah rejam sampai mati tetapi pesalah boleh juga dijatuhi hukuman penjara atau rotan.Golongan wanita yang didapati mengadakan hubungan sejenis pula berdepan hukuman 40 sebatan rotan atau penjara maksimum 10 tahun.

Reputasi Sultan Brunei kini tercalar apabila para aktivis dan selebriti terkenal - termasuk George Clooney menyeru untuk memboikot The Beverly Hills Hotel, yang dimiliki oleh Sultan Brunei

Image via Reuters

Beberapa bank utama, termasuk J.P. Morgan, Kumpulan Goldman Sachs dan Bank of America turut melarang pekerja mereka daripada menginap di hotel-hotel yang dimiliki oleh Sultan Brunei, termasuk kumpulan hotel mewah Dorchester Collection.Di UK pula, segala iklan dan promosi pelancongan ke negara Brunei telah diturunkan.

Terbaru menerusi rancangan The Ellen Show, George Clooney berkata pembatalan hukuman tersebut adalah satu kemenangan besar buat masyarakat dunia

Image via imgur.com

"Cara kita menjadikan perkara ini sukar adalah dengan memboikot hotelnya. Itu tidak menjadi masalah kepada seorang lelaki kaya. Kita tidak boleh memalukan 'orang jahat', tetapi kita boleh memalukan orang-orang yang melakukan perniagaan dengan mereka."Dan apabila bank dan institusi kewangan mula berkata 'baiklah, kita keluar daripada perniagaan Brunei', maka dia pun berundur dan mengubah keputusannya," kata Clooney.

Malah, Clooney turut menganggap perkara ini merupakan satu amaran buat negara seperti Malaysia dan Indonesia yang mempertimbangkan untuk melaksanakan undang-undang syariah

Auntie Anne's Masih Tak Dapat Sijil Halal Sebab Ada 'Dog' Pada Menu

Untuk makluman, pengeluar pretzel terbesar Malaysia, Auntie Anne's telah pun bertapak di negara ini selama 20 tahun sejak 1996

Image via Mid Valley Megamall

Dan sehingga Jun 2016, Auntie Anne's mempunyai 45 cawangan di seluruh Semenanjung Malaysia (kecuali KLIA 2) dengan kira-kira 200 pekerja, dan menghidang sejumlah 2 juta pretzel dalam masa setahun.

Namun begitu, walaupun sudah 20 tahun beroperasi, Auntie Anne's masih lagi belum memperoleh sijil Halal daripada JAKIM

Image via Franchise Chatter

Isu Halal sememangnya sesuatu yang perlu dititikberatkan bagi mana-mana pengusaha restoran atau pembekal makanan/minuman di Malaysia. Disebabkan 70% penduduk adalah beragama Islam, pengesahan Halal oleh JAKIM dianggap begitu penting sekali.Ini bertujuan bagi mengelakkan kekeliruan dan keraguan dikalangan pengguna umat Islam yang ingin mendapatkan sesuatu produk.Jadi, kenapa Auntie Anne's masih belum memperoleh sijil Halal? Seorang pengguna FB, Farhatul Kamilah merangkap Halal Executive di Auntie Anne's Malaysia tampil memberi penerangan.

Menurut Farhatul, permohonan Halal Auntie Anne's sebelum ini telah ditolak JAKIM atas beberapa isu. Isu-isunya adalah seperti berikut:

1. JAKIM meminta Auntie Anne's untuk memohon sijil halal bagi Central Kitchen (CK) dahulu di mana proses re-packing dilakukan sebelum meneruskan permohonan bagi outlet.2. Sijil halal telah dipohon bagi kesemua 45 outlet Auntie Anne’s dibawah satu permohonan. JAKIM telah menolak permohonan dan meminta untuk mengasingkan permohonan mengikut zon bagi memudahkan proses audit. Situasi ini juga pernah berlaku kepada jenama Sushi King. Pada mulanya, hanya beberapa outlet sahaja yang disahkan halal kerana proses ini dijalankan secara berperingkat dan mengikut zon walaupun semua produknya adalah daripada CK yang sama.

Image via Mid Valley Megamall

3. Nama menu ‘Pretzel Dog’ haruslah ditukar kepada nama yang lebih sesuai. Pihak Auntie Anne's telah mencadangkan beberapa nama baru dan masih menunggu keputusan mesyuarat panel dari pihak JAKIM. Setelah mendapat keputusannya nanti, Auntie Anne's harus menukar kesemua menuboard di seluruh cawangan sebelum proceed kepada permohonan baru.

Image via Munchpunch

Tambahnya lagi, Auntie Anne's sentiasa bertungkus lumus untuk ke arah Halal. Kini, mereka telah melepasi peringkat pertama dan sudah pun menjelaskan bayaran dan sedang menunggu proses audit dari JAKIM.

Untuk pengetahuan semua, saya telah menghantar permohonan bagi CK. Kami telah melepasi peringkat pertama dan sudah pun menjelaskan bayaran dan sedang menunggu proses audit dari JAKIM. Saya sertakan surat dan resit bayaran dalam post ini.Ingin saya tegaskan, Auntie Anne’s BUKAN pemegang sijil halal JAKIM tetapi kami sedang BERUSAHA kearah itu. JAKIM mempunyai standard yang sangat tinggi yang harus diikuti oleh semua pemegang sijil halal JAKIM. Pihak JAKIM bukan hanya memfokuskan kepada status halal bahan makanan, tetapi juga kebersihan outlet dan pengendali makanan. Saya juga seorang Muslim dan ini adalah salah satu tanggungjawab fardhu kifayah saya untuk umat Islam. Doakan saya berjaya :)

Image via Farhatul Kamilah

Dalam pada itu, beliau juga menasihati orang ramai agar tidak membeli sebarang produk dari Auntie Anne's jika berasa was-was. Sebaliknya, tunggulah sehingga mereka mendapat sijil Halal yang sah.

Bagi yang was-was tapi mahu juga mencuba pretzel Auntie Anne’s, saya cadangkan anda menunggu sehingga kami disahkan halal terlebih dahulu kerana perkara yang syubhah sudah jatuh haram untuk kita memakannya. Jika Auntie Anne’s sudah disahkan halal oleh JAKIM, saya cadangkan anda beli Éclair Stix dan Jalapeno Cheese, kerana kedua-duanya favourite saya :)Ikhlas,Anak dara Makcik AnneBaca status penuh di sini.
