Kuan Chee Heng, fondly known as Uncle Kentang, has been presented the Commonwealth Points of Light Award in recognition of his countless acts of charity in the community

The Points of Light award was started by Queen Elizabeth II to recognise inspirational volunteers across the 54 Commonwealth countries for the difference they make in their communities.According to Free Malaysia Today (FMT), Kuan will be the fourth Malaysian to receive the honour since its inception in 2018.He received notice of the honour on Saturday, 22 May, and will collect the award on 12 June at the British High Commissioner's office in Kuala Lumpur.

Uncle Kentang is well known in Klang Valley for his many efforts aimed at helping society's most vulnerable and underpriviledged

In a pinned post on his Facebook page, Kuan explained that he, too, came from a poor family. He remembers the feeling of hopelessness when his father passed away and they had no money to transport him to the hospital.He also remembered how his mother was hit and chased away when she asked a grocery store owner for some rice when he was younger."That's when I promised myself, I will never let the poor be bullied, and the poor should never be bullied anyway," he said.Although helping the underprivileged often takes an emotional toll on him, especially when he is unable to due to the sheer volume, he continues to provide aid because of his own difficult experiences.

The 56-year-old was a policeman when he founded Community Policing Malaysia in 2007, originally intended as a crime prevention non-governmental organisation (NGO)

However, according to Wiki Impact, Kuan began to realise that the main driver for crime was poverty in many local communities.That was when he started to focus on aid and relief efforts for the poor instead. He has since started many initiatives as Uncle Kentang, a nickname that came about when he was giving out potatoes during a food distribution campaign.He has since started a marketplace where the poor can buy items for 10 sen each, 10 sen taxi services to send the sick to hospitals, RM1 ambulance and hearse services, RM1 transit homes to house those in desperate need of a place to stay for a night, and many more.

He also personally attends to those in need when he receives calls from the public and has been grateful for the help of Malaysians when he asks for donations on social media

"There really is great unity in this country, I have to say. When things are posted to social media about people who need help, people are so fast to offer support and donate, it's so nice to see," he told FMT.Kuan also wrote on Facebook that he was honoured and happy to be a representative of the community in winning the Commonwealth award."This was not the effort of me alone. Without the help of everyone, I would not be Uncle Kentang," he said when he was informed of the award."All credit should go to each of you for the support. Thank you for the strength. I hope I will be healthy enough to continue providing help to those in need."

'Aku Kena Denda Hampir RM10 Sebab Duduk Terlalu Lama Di R&R. Memang Sial'

[TERKINI] Dakwaan PLUS denda pengguna yang berhenti terlalu lama di R&R adalah TIDAK BENAR

Terdapat satu posting yang diviralkan yang mendakwa PLUS mendenda si pengadu sejumlah RM9.40 kerana berada terlalu lama di hentian rehat (sejam setengah). Namun, adakah dakwaan tersebut benar?Sebenarnya dakwaan kononnya PLUS mendenda pengguna lebuh raya yang berada di hentian rehat terlalu lama adalah TIDAK BENAR sama sekali. PLUS hanya akan mendenda pengguna lebuh raya yang menggunakan lebuh raya tanpa tiket atau tanpa membayar tol, memalsukan tiket, masuk dan keluar lebuh raya di plaza tol sama, ataupun berada lebih daripada 20 jam di lebuh raya.

Image via Damar Wulan/Facebook

Jadi apa sebenarnya yang berlaku? Cuba lihat pada ruangan M pada gambar resit yang ditampilkan. Ia sepatutnya menunjukkan kod kependekan plaza tol masuk (dalam kod tiga huruf). Namun, sekiranya ruangan M menunjukkan angka 999, ia bermakna plaza tol masuk tidak dapat dipastikan, yang berlaku sama ada kerana tiket hilang ataupun tiket rosak. Oleh itu, denda dikenakan bagi kes ini dalam bentuk kadar tol maksimum bagi sistem tertutup yang dilalui (sama ada Hutan Kampung-Sungai Dua ataupun Juru-Skudai).Sumber: Blog Jalan Raya Malaysia

Seorang lelaki mendakwa beliau telah didenda oleh pihak Lebuh Raya PLUS kerana berhenti terlalu lama di hentian R&R Sabtu lalu

Damar Wulan dalam satu posting di Facebook meluahkan rasa tidak puas hatinya setelah beliau dikenakan caj tambahan ketika ingin membuat pembayaran di Plaza Tol Pendang, Kedah.Beliau terkejut apabila bayaran tol yang sepatutnya bernilai RM3 tiba-tiba menjadi RM9.40, hanya kerana beliau menghabiskan masa selama 1 jam setengah di hentian Rehat dan Rawat (R&R) Gurun, Kedah. Damar berkata beliau berhenti seketika di R&R Gurun untuk tidur kerana keletihan selepas menghantar rakannya pulang sebelum meneruskan perjalanan.Apabila ditanya kenapa beliau didenda RM9.40, pihak PLUS memberikan alasan bahawa mereka mengesyaki ada unsur penipuan dilakukan oleh pengguna lebuh raya jika berhenti terlalu lama di R&R.

Susulan daripada insiden tersebut, Damar Wulan menghubungi pihak Lebuh Raya PLUS untuk mendapatkan lebih info dan pengesahan

Image via Damar Wulan/Facebook

Status penuh Damar Wulan:Bahaya menggunakan lebuh raya PLUS Gurun Pendang sekarang. Aku didenda RM9.40 dan bayaran tol RM3.00 sahaja tapi dicas RM9.40 adalah cas tambahan dikenakan sekarang jika duduk lama melebihi 1.5 jam di R&R (Rehat dan rawat). Gila ka apa ni. Tak boleh duduk lama di R&R.Sampai di tol Pendang waktu nak bayar tol kena denda. Memang sial. Alasan pihak PLUS mengesyaki jika duduk lama di R&R ada unsur penipuan dilakukan oleh pengguna lebuh raya. Haa penipuan haram jadah apa ni dari pengguna PLUS.Aku menghubungi 1800 88 0000 dia pun tak dapat memberikan jawapan pasti. Persoalannya kenapa tidak diletakkan papan tanda di R&R gurun (TIDAK DIBENARKAN BEREHAT MELEBIHI 1.5 JAM). PLUS membuat undang undang ikut suka.RM9.40 adalah denda yang dikenakan.

Lebih mengejutkan, terdapat juga beberapa kejadian sebelum ini di mana pengguna dikenakan caj tambahan kerana "menggunakan lebuh raya untuk tempoh masa yang panjang dan tidak munasabah"

Image via ismaweb.net

Difahamkan PLUS pernah mengeluarkan kenyataan akhbar pada 21 Januari 2015 di mana pihaknya akan mengambil tindakan denda terhadap pengguna yang menggunakan lebuh raya terlalu lama. Tindakan itu diambil bertujuan membendung kegiatan penyelewengan tol di kalangan pelanggan dan menjamin integriti kutipan tol demi menjaga kepentingan syarikat. Dalam satu insiden sebagai contoh, seorang pengguna didenda RM10 apabila berada melebihi dua jam dari tol Jelapang ke Kuala kangsar.PLUS turut menasihatkan pengguna lebuh raya yang dikenakan tindakan supaya menghubungi syarikat itu menerusi talian 03-79818000 atau membuat aduan di plaza tol terdekat untuk menyelesaikannya.Baca kenyataan penuh di sini.

Even better, if the items look resalable, you might even get a store credit, a.k.a. an Apple gift card

Among the 19 companies covered in the report, Greenpeace described Apple as "the most innovative and most aggressive in pursuing its commitment to be 100 percent renewably powered."

About 120 of Apple's U.S. stores, or nearly half of the outlets in the country, run entirely on renewable energy

Malaysians Are Defending The New 'Visit Malaysia 2020' Logo Against Claims Of Plagiarism

Yesterday, 22 July, the new 'Visit Malaysia 2020' logo was unveiled to the public

Image via Twitter @MyMOTAC

The new logo was designed by 23-year-old Alfred Phua Hong Fook from Melaka."The campaign logo, part of the campaign's marketing and promotional efforts, features various recognisable icons of Malaysia such as the hornbill, the bunga raya (hibiscus), the wild fern, and colours of the Malaysian flag," Tourism Malaysia's press release stated.In a tweet explaining the rationale of the logo, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture  said Phua was "inspired by Malaysian Batik" in deciding its style.

The logo has since received backlash after netizens pointed out its similarities to vector graphics found across the web

"I take back what I said about the new logo being beautiful. The designer copied the design from Shutterstock. Maybe they changed the design of the hornbill a little. Someone probably helped him redesign this logo," one netizen claimed.

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

One netizen even claimed it bore similarities to the 'Visit Kaltim 2009' logo.

Image via Twitter

However, there are netizens who have come out in support of the new logo - with some also dispelling misinformation

"Why so bitter? The creative process is exactly like that. If he bought the vector, then it's legal. That floral element is not the same style at all with the reference. Netizens really know everything, huh? Disgusting," wrote one netizen.

Image via Twitter

Another netizen shared the sentiment, saying, "Design process [is] supposed to work this way. You find a reference for your work and create your own design. What is the problem with netizens. If it's ugly you make noise, if it's beautiful also complain. Absolutely ungrateful."

Image via Twitter

This netizen sought to dispel the misinformation being spread about the logo:

1. First photo is widely distributed, claiming that Visit Malaysia 2020 logo is ‘plagiarized’ from stock images. 2. Take note that the logo is NOT the official logo as claimed.3. The stock image is different from the official logo.4. This is the actual logo rationale pic.twitter.com/Kmq1TwKpZ4— Asrul Muzaffar (@asrulmm) July 23, 2019

The old 'Visit Malaysia 2020' logo was previously criticised for its "retro" look:

1 Utama Clears The Air About The Two Lost Kids. Here's What Really Happened

Facebook has become a hotbed of fake news for people looking to create unnecessary panic among the public

Yesterday, 1 Utama Shopping Centre (1U) took to their Facebook page to clear the air about one such viral fake news that was fast spreading on the social media platform.According to 1U's Facebook post, someone had falsely tried to create panic by spreading a post on Facebook that two kids had been kidnapped in 1U.The fake post claimed that the mother was "frantic" and the poster was not able to get the mother's contact details "because she lost her mind already."Here's the fake post that went viral, creating panic among locals:

Image via 1 Utama/Facebook

Seeing how the above post was creating panic, 1 Utama took to their Facebook page to officially share the real story

"Please be informed that a mum was having dinner at a restaurant in 1 Utama when her two young daughters wandered off without her knowledge," wrote 1 Utama, adding that following which the mother was assisted by their mall security officers.While the security officers were in the midst of getting info, the kids, who had wandered off, walked back to their mother, the shopping mall said.However, someone decided to publicise the minor incident as a sensational case of kidnapping and posted on Facebook, creating an instant fear among many.1 Utama added that they are still very relieved and glad that the children have been found and are safe and sound.

Taking a lighter stand on the viral fake post, 1 Utama advised their patrons that "contrary to popular belief that Facebook is the way to go," should there be any emergency or incident that their patrons wish to report, they should get in touch with their Customer Service Centres instead

Below is 1 Utama's Facebook post in full:

Nampak Lebih Maskulin, Ini 5 Kelebihan Lelaki Berbulu Dada Yang Anda Tidak Tahu

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

Bagi kaum lelaki, bulu pada tubuh dada mereka adalah perkara normal

Malah, bulu dada lelaki membuatkan mereka nampak lebih maskulin daripada biasa. Tetapi, ada juga wanita yang tidak suka melihat bulu dada lelaki kerana merasakan geli dan sebagainya.Namun, tahukah anda banyak sebenarnya kelebihan bulu dada lelaki? Teruskan membaca artikel ini jika anda mahu mengetahui lebih lanjut.

Lelaki berbulu di dada ini sebenarnya boleh kurang dijangkiti panau atau kurap. Hal ini kerana, kulit lelaki yang dilindungi oleh bulu dada ini boleh menyebabkan mereka tidak akan sama sekali dijangkiti apa-apa penyakit yang berkaitan dengan kulit.

2. Hormon testosteron lebih sihat

Antara kelebihan lain bagi lelaki berbulu dada ini adalah hormon testosteron mereka lebih sihat. Namun, ia bukanlah bermaksud lelaki yang tidak ada bulu dada ini tidak sihat paras hormonnya. Tetapi, lelaki berbulu dada reseptor di kulit mereka adalah lebih responsif kepada sentuhan.

3. Nampak lebih gagah dan maskulin

Image via Pinterest

Tidak dinafikan, lelaki yang memiliki bulu dada ini ternyata jelas nampak lebih maskulin daripada lelaki yang tiada bulu dada. Namun, tidak semua lelaki berupaya untuk memiliki bulu dada. Sekiranya dia dilahirkan dari keluarga yang berbulu lebat di dada, peratusan besar lelaki tersebut jua akan turut memiliki bulu dada.

4. Sukar berpeluh

Pasti anda tertanya-tanya bukan mengapa pula lelaki berbulu dada sukar untuk berpeluh? Hal ini kerana, bulu dada telah menyerap peluh melalui sistem osmosis. Oleh itu, walaupun mereka benar-benar berpeluh, sekurang-kurangnya sebahagian daripadanya telah pun diserap oleh bulu dada mereka. Ia juga dapat mengurangkan bau badan.

5. Pelindung wanita

Selain itu, lelaki yang memiliki bulu dada dikatakan menjadi pelindung kepada wanita. Banyak perempuan yang suka dengan lelaki yang dadanya berbulu kerana menganggap bulu dada lelaki itu boleh memberi kasih sayang yang diinginkan.

Betul lah lelaki berbulu dada ini sebenarnya nampak lebih maskulin ;)

BuzzFeed Misspells Malaysia As Singapore In "Most Delicious Place On Earth" Story

Dear Buzzfeed, Malaysia and Singapore have a long rivalry over their food. Malaysians everywhere, and even some Singaporeans, are aghast over your "Singapore Is The Most Delicious Place On Earth" story.

You mad, Buzzfeed?

Firstly, Malaysia is the country where Singapore was originally from. Malaysia is 475 times larger than Singapore, yet the food is yummier and more affordable (read: not overpriced).

Singapore's white and pasty Hokkien Mee? You've not tried REAL Hokkien Mee until you've tried authentic Malaysian Hokkien Mee.

Hokkien noodles has since turned into almost a Chinese MALAYSIAN culinary icon, almost all Malaysian styled restaurants serve this savoury and addictive noodle dish.  Why do I call this sinful? Well, because a true Hokkien noodle dish contains pork fat or 'chu you cha', essentially pork fat rendered in hot oil and fried to crispy deliciousness.

It may have its roots in the Fujian province of China, but the Hokkien mee you'll find in Penang is different.

Char Kway Teow or Malaysian Fried Noodles is a popular street food that has come to personify street food in Malaysia and can be found at most local coffee shops and hawker stalls.

White Rabbit Creamy Candy is a brand of candy manufactured by Shanghai Guan Sheng Yuan Food, Ltd. White Rabbit Creamy Candy originated at the Aipixi Candy Factory of Shanghai in 1943, when a merchant from Aipixi tried a milk candy from England and thought that its taste was not bad. After half a year of development, he then manufactured the factory's own brand of milk candies.

Ismail Sabri: Public Will Not Be Fined For Not Updating Health Status On MySejahtera

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

Senior Minister (Security) Dato' Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that not updating one's health status on MySejahtera is not an offence during the Movement Control Order (MCO)

In a statement yesterday, 7 June, Ismail said failing to do so is not a finable offence under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988, reported Bernama.He said that compounds issued for the previously believed offence by any enforcement officer should be rescinded."I hope that compounds issued for this offence are revoked. Enforcement officers are advised not to err in interpreting the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place," the senior minister was quoted as saying by New Straits Times.

Ismail's clarification on the issue comes after 29 oil and gas company workers in Perak were recently compounded RM2,000 each for not updating their health status on MySejahtera

Two workers from a chicken processing factory in Perak were also issued a RM1,500 fine each for the same alleged offence on 5 June.Yesterday, Perak police chief CP Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid assured that compounds issued to the factory workers will be cancelled."The compounds were issued by SOP monitoring squad led by Manjung police district chief and representatives from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, and Manjung Municipal Council on June 5," Mior said, reported Malay Mail."There was some confusion over the matter and Manjung police had checked and gotten clarification on the incident with the Ministry of Helath's inspectorate and legal unit," Mior was quoted as saying by The Star.

The National Security Council (MKN) also clarified that it is not compulsory for people to update their health status on the app except under certain circumstances

MKN director-general Datuk Mohd Rabin Basir explained that there are only four exceptions when the self-assessment and update by an individual is required on the app, reported Malay Mail citing a Sin Chew report.The exceptions are when the individual:- Shows COVID-19 symptoms- Has travelled abroad- Has had physical contact with a COVID-19 positive patient- Has tested positive for COVID-19"According to the MKN's SOP, only if a factory has any of their workers testing positive, all of the employees must perform daily self-health assessments through MySejahtera," Mohd Rabin added.

With that said, Ismail Sabri reminded people to be honest and responsible while updating their health status on MySejahtera even though it is not an offence anymore

He said that MySejahtera allows the government to conduct contact tracing on COVID-19 cases. Thus, the correct details must be provided and updated on the app, especially when an individual is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19."MySejahtera is an application developed by the government to assist in monitoring the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic in the country by enabling users to perform self-health assessment," the senior minister explained."Therefore, this application is not only for us to scan when we enter a place but more importantly to update every day, or even every time if necessary, depending on our movements and activities."

Remember to limit your movement and keep practising physical distancing. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

Wah, PETRONAS' Drama Series Is Back This Raya, And Things Are Getting Super Intense

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

Remember PETRONAS' drama series that aired its pilot episode during Chinese New Year? Well, they're back with a bang, with a plot twist to boot. :O

The drama series, titled 366, revolves around the lives of various Malaysians in a futuristic setting, and explores stories about their realities, where second chances play a theme. This seven-episode drama series breaks the mould of traditional festive storytelling by portraying one plot over seven episodes, instead of one stand-alone video for each occasion.

In keeping with PETRONAS' tradition of telling authentic Malaysian experiences, this film aims to show how our nation has evolved in recent years as a result of the hardships we've experienced. Directed by award-winning director Kabir Bhatia, 366 is a tale of exploration, self-discovery, and redemption.

The first episode centred on the main heroine Zhi Yi, her friends and family

Image via PETRONAS (Provided to SAYS)

While returning home for Chinese New Year with her mother, Zhi Yi is torn between having a reunion dinner with her father and giving in to her mother's mysterious request. When the unexpected happens, Zhi Yi is left struggling to accept her predicament.

27 April marked the launch of the second episode of the series, titled Hari Ke-123 or Day 123, in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri

In the second episode, we are introduced to Poji, a courageous and hardworking young man who goes back to his hometown to fulfil his dream with his childhood love. However, things take a turn and Poji is left reeling after experiencing unexpected surprises along the way.

Watch the full video here:

×

The video opens with Poji stating his intentions to marry Ayu, his childhood love, following a promise to his mother that he would get engaged this year

Image via PETRONAS (YouTube)

He describes Ayu as a brave, yet soft-spoken woman. Reminiscing, he remembers how she freed birds from the smugglers' den when they were younger. In doing that, she released his fears as well.

However, Poji realises he might not be able to fulfil his desires due to some unforeseen circumstances

Image via PETRONAS (YouTube)

Poji is crestfallen, but his mother tells him to pull through and accept God's plan as it is. This goes to show that sometimes, even if things don't work out for us, there's always a reason why things happen.

Then... jeng jeng jeng, here's where things get a little mysterious. Remember the bus accident in episode one?

Image via PETRONAS (YouTube)

It turns out that there may be something deeper at play. As the story unravels and the plot thickens, we find out that the accident might have been caused by something (or, someone) unexpected.Well, we gotta wait for the next episode to find out what's really going on here.

All in all, PETRONAS wants to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Datin Anita Azrina Abdul Aziz, PETRONAS Senior General Manager of Group Strategic Communications, said, "It has only been several months into 2022, but we can already see Malaysians resuming their daily lives and finding new purposes, chasing dreams, and leaving the past behind. The best we can do is keep moving forward, individually, collectively, and as a nation."As we reunite with families this Hari Raya, let us acknowledge how far we have come, our courage, and the sacrifices we made in the past couple of years.

DOCTORS In This Malaysian Hospital Are So Used To Rats, They Call Them Pets

WATCH: Rats roaming in the hallways of Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital in Kelantan

      Unsupported video platform

A patient's mother had her 'keropok' stolen by mice only to have nurses and doctors tell her that it is common in the wards

A patient's mother had her 'keropok' stolen by mice only to have nurses and doctors tell her that it is common in the wards

Image via imgur.com

Patients and their minders spoke of their experiences with the rodents scurrying practically everywhere in the wards of the 12-storey building, scrounging for food at pantries, on beds and on the floors, oblivious to human presence.

        thestar.com.my

Why the well-known problem has persisted for so long is a cause of wonder to many visitors and others like the young mother of a brain damaged four-year-old girl who related the story of the “missing fish cracker”.

        thestar.com.my

“I left the keropok on my daughter’s bed table and when I returned it was gone. At first I thought somebody had taken it but during the night I found out it was the mice after I saw it moving in the dark under the bed."

        malaysiaedition.net

“I brought this up with the nurses and doctors but was told that this sort of thing was common in the wards and everyone was used to it,” added the housewife, whose five-year-old son said he saw mice running all over the place.

        malaysiaedition.net

Another doctor told a visitor that mice are treated like pets in the ward when she complained of mice sniffing her daughter's plastic oxygen mask

The aunt of an 11-month-old girl who was admitted for pneumonia said she saw mice on the reclining chairs, in the baby cots and near child minders sleeping on the floor.

        thestar.com.my

Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital in Kota Baru, Kelantan, has been dealing with a rat infestation problem for 10 years.
Image via come2kelantan.my

The housewife, who declined to be named, said she saw a mouse sniffing her daughter’s plastic oxygen mask and got the nurse to replace it.

        thestar.com.my

The woman who did not want to be identified added: “I spoke to a doctor about this and she laughingly told me that the mice are treated like pets in the ward.”

Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital has had this rat infestation for 10 years

Mice and rats are infesting the Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital here and the management seems helpless to do anything about the “invasion”. The hospital, which was built in 1983, has had this pest problem for some 10 years now.

        malaysiandigest.com

Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital has had this rat infestation for 10 years.
Image via themalaysiantimes.com.my

Apart from the mice in the wards, rats were found at the main cafeteria of the university complex, according to a hospital spokesman.

        malaysiaedition.net

The food outlets just 30m away is a breeding ground for rats which then “migrated” to the hospital through underground burrows and sewage pipes.

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

Hospital spokesman says they have tried to exterminate the rats before

”Our initial findings are that the sewer rats hiding in the drainage system have found their way to the hospital from the nearby business centre. We have tried to solve the problem of rats hiding in the suspended ceiling by cutting off their entry and exit points but to no avail.

        thestar.com.my

“We have engaged a pest control company to rid the hospital of rats.” The spokesman said the hospital was getting help from the USM main campus in Penang to study the problem and recommend the next course of action.

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

According to a rat expert, rats can damage the hospital's electrical wiring and transmit disease from their urine and droppings

Port Klang-based pest control expert with over 30 years experience, Ang Tan Loong, said the rodents at the hospital were probably from the commonhouse mouse or Mus muculus family.

        thestar.com.my

Ang said that a formula for roughly guessing the population of house mice at a place was to multiply by 10 each pair seen. “The common house mouse has a five-year lifespan and the female can produce a litter of four in a three-month gestation period,” said Ang, who is president of the Federation of South-East Asia Fumigators.

        malaysiandigest.com

Ang said sewer rats can do untold damage to the electrical wiring and centralised air-conditioning system apart from being the cause of leptospirosis transmitted by their urine and droppings.

        malaysiaedition.net

Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) says this is embarrassing and shameful

The Malaysian Medical Association has urged Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian to take swift action and stop the rat infestation in the hospital.

        thestar.com.my

President of the MMA, Datuk Dr N.K.S. Tharmaseelan  said rats were nocturnal animals and were only visible when they had become overpopulated within their confined space. “By then, their numbers could be in the thousands,”

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

“How a hospital has come to this state of affairs is really shocking and appalling. This is embarrassing and shameful.” He said the rat infestation showed that HUSM had low hygiene standards.

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

President of MMA says the cause could be from food and rubbish littered around

“The main cause appears to be food and rubbish being thrown around,” he pointed out.
“The ward pantries and kitchens are important areas that should be kept clean at all times. Likewise, the wards and toilets,” he added.

        thestar.com.my

The prevention efforts should include covering garbage cans with tight-fitting lids, removing sources of open water and ensuring open spaces were free of trash, Dr Tharmaseelan said.

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

“Holes in the ground and walls should also be sealed and floor drains fastened to keep rats from entering through sewers.”

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

Rodents carry disease such as leptospirosis, and also host parasitic insects that transmit disease

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

An Indonesian woman has gone viral for single-handedly beating up a man who tried to steal her handphone at a roadside stall in Kalimantan

In the video, the woman in a blue nightgown was seen punching a man in the head and hurling him onto the ground, all while with a cigarette in her mouth.She then proceeded to kick him while he shielded his face with his arms whilst another man tried to calm her down, but she brushed him off."Kenapa nyawa kasian? Maling neneh, maka mancuntan hp urang (Why are you pitying him? He's a thief, he stole a phone)," she is heard screaming in the video.

The incident is said to have happened on Sunday, 10 April, in the Banjar district in South Kalimantan

After the video went viral, local police found that the incident occurred at a roadside stall in Simpang Tiga Village, but the authorities said they will not be making any arrests."It was revealed that the man who was beaten was a thief who stole the woman's mobile phone," Banjar police chief Doni Hadi Santoso told Indonesian news portal Detik News."But out of pity for the criminal who may be put into jail, [the woman] decided not to make a police report."Doni added that the police are looking for the man's place of residence anyway to issue a statement of peace between both parties.

Image via @utusantvofficial (TikTok)

Nevertheless, the video has circulated across social media, with many users applauding the woman for her harsh punishment on the thief

A copy of the video on Malaysian news platform UtusanTV's TikTok account alone has garnered nearly three million views and much praise from awed Malaysians."Maybe this mak cik watches a lot of WWF," a user joked.

"For the first time ever, I feel bad for the thief," said another.

Man Who Filmed Himself "Poking" A Dog On Instagram Live Claims He Did It For Fun

An Instagram live video of a 22-year-old man "poking" a dog has gone viral recently

Image via Mhafiyuddin/Instagram

In the video, the dog was heard shrieking while the man "poked" it with what seems to be a broomstick."Hello, pig!" said the man in the video, while laughing along with his friend who witnessed the incident. He also added that the dog was chewing on his slippers.

The man asked for advice to "samak (cleanse)" his slippers that were chewed on by the dog.
Image via Mhafiyuddin/Instagram

Although the video did not show how badly the dog was hurt from the man's actions, it appears to have died later on

After the man filmed himself cleaning his slippers, the video was cut to the dog, which was found dead by the side of a road.It is unknown if the dog had died from the man's "poking" or from other causes.

Image via Mhafiyuddin/Instagram

The videos quickly attracted opposing views from netizens, both in defence of and against the man

One netizen stressed that the video does not show that the dog was killed because of the man's actions, and stood by his use of a broomstick against the dog.

Image via Instagram

Other netizens criticised the man's justification of his videos.

Image via Instagram

Image via Instagram

Netizens began contacting Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia's youth chief Syed Saddiq, urging him to take action regarding the incident

Image via Syed Saddiq/Instagram

Syed Saddiq wrote on his Instagram that he has contacted the man in the incident, and asked him to make his own police report and contact the Malaysia Animal Association to clarify the matter.He added that no one should mistreat animals, and everyone should treat them with love and care.

Following backlash, the man issued an "apology" on his Instagram account for the "misunderstanding" of his actions

    Maafkan saya rakyat Malaysia sebab buat korang salah anggap. #malaysiaboleh A post shared by  22 Graphic Designer (@mhafiyuddin) on Jun 21, 2018 at 3:40am PDT

He claimed that the motive behind the videos of the dog was to "entertain" his friends, and he never expected them to go viral.

Although the man has taken down the video from Instagram, it has been re-uploaded onto Facebook here. Viewer discretion is advised.

What do you think about his apology? Let us know in the comments below.

Good News! No More School Uniforms For Form Six Students, BUT...

One of the biggest grouches students have about entering Form Six is the fact that they still have to don a school uniform while their friends entering college are free from the clutches of pinafores and green pants

Grouch no more, dear Form Six-ers! The Education Ministry is "re-branding" Form Six with a new dress code.

That means no more school uniforms! cue celebration

Education Ministry director-general Datuk Seri Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof said schools can no longer compel Form Six students to wear a standard attire.

Calm down, there are still some rules. We can't have students running around the school halls looking like Lady Gaga.

For guys, you can wear light-coloured shirts and slacks of any colour. Nothing too funky, too striking, no floral nor bright colours. In fact, just stick to plain, striped and checked patterns. Oh, and make sure your shirt is tucked in.

You slacks should be ankle-length and should not be tight. You can wear a belt, but the buckles should not exceed 5cm.

Ladies can have more fun with the choice of baju kurung, long pants and two or three-piece pant suits. They can also wear sleeved-blouses and maxi dresses.

Skirts can be no shorter than the knee, but no t-shirts, jeans, cargo pants, shorts, leggings, or anything tight in general.

Also, no denim or lycra material for both male and female students

Guys are required to wear shoes and socks while ladies can only wear shoes that cover their feet. Leave your slippers, clogs and sandals at home.

During outdoor activities, students may wear long pants or track bottoms paired with short or long sleeved t-shirts. However, the t-shirts should not have any political, violent, vulgar or negative images.

By the way, this is the dress code manual the Education Ministry came up with

If all this is too confusing and too much to remember, you can always just go back to wearing your school uniform

Have a great term guys!
