Tunku Ismail Hits Back At Nazri And Proves Himself To Be The Leader Malaysia Deserves

TMJ warns citizens to beware of cowardly leaders

Image via Malaysiakini

Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has warned that cowardly leaders are dangerous and went on to stress the need for integrity in leadership.Tunku Ismail's message was premised on the teachings of his grandfather - the late Sultan Iskandar - who taught him that the supreme quality of leadership is integrity, which he believed to be a rare commodity."He (Sultan Iskandar) said that a cowardly leader is the most dangerous of men and that one of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognise a problem before it becomes an emergency."He also taught me that great leaders muster the courage to fulfil his vision from passion, not position," the prince says in a posting on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page last night.

ERTI KEPIMPINANAlmarhum nenda saya selalu berpesan, sifat kepimpinan yang paling agung adalah integriti. Malang...Posted by JOHOR Southern Tigers on Sunday, June 28, 2015

He also added that influence rather than authority was the key to successful leadership these days

Image via fourthofficial

Tunku Ismail stressed that his message was aimed at leaders of the Johor government and NGOs, which he hoped would lead and inspire by example as opposed to "managing and manipulating" the people."Inventories can be managed, but the people must be led by example and with integrity. Remember that the key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority. If you have authority but command no influence, it is a sign that you are not worthy of being a leader," he said.Acknowledging that things he had said in the past had annoyed or upset certain quarters, he made certain that his latest Facebook message was solely in the context of Johor, which he said was “close to my heart”.

17 June: Over 2,000 people gathered in support of Johor crown prince in pro-royalty rally

Image via Ben Tan / The Rakyat Post

More than 2,000 people gathered in a peaceful assembly outside Istana Bukit Serene in Johor Bahru on 16 June to show their support for Tunku Ismail as well as to call for the resignation Nazri Abdul Aziz, who've been making rude statements about the royal in the past few days

Image via JOHOR Southern Tigers' Facebook

At 3.45pm, crowds started to gather at the car park area adjacent to the Istana Bukit Serene’s main entrance. Many people were also seen at the gigantic Johor Royal Crown replica that adorns the istana’s main entrance.The gathering, scheduled to start at 4pm, was organised by Gabungan NGO Melayu Johor (Gabung Johor), which is a Johor umbrella body that unites various Malay NGOs in the state. Also present were other NGOs, some from various races, joining the gathering. Some were from the charity organisations, lawyers guilds and also professional associations.“Today’s gathering is due to the recent ‘uncalled for’ comments by the Tourism and Culture Minister (Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz). Please bear in mind that today’s gathering is not a political platform as it is more to do with concerned Johoreans who feel that a federal minister’s comments were hurtful to us,” said Gabung Johor representative Abdullah Mohd. Yusof when addressing the crowd.

The crowd erupted into cheers when Tunku Ismail, fondly known as TMJ, showed up to deliver a short speech. Assuring Johoreans that he will not stop speaking up on behalf of the people, he also remarked that he will not say much as "there are people in Putrajaya who wants to whack me".

"Thank you for all your support. I do not want to speak much, as there are people in Putrajaya who want to whack me," he told the crowd outside the palace gates here on Tuesday.

        thestar.com.my

“As Ayahanda Tuanku (his father, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar) advised me, I am only a servant of the people,” he said to rousing cheers, followed by shouts of “Daulat Tuanku”.At one point, he even bowed to the crowd. According to the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page, which often functions as Tunku Ismail's spokesperson, the gesture symbolises that he was a "servant" of the people of Johor.

Meanwhile, Nazri elected to continue commenting on his very public spat with the prince, saying that he is not bothered with being labelled "kurang ajar" (disrespectful) and maintaining his right to express his views. He also pointed out that the difference between him and the prince is that he was "elected by the people".

Image via The Malay Mail Online

“The difference between us is that I was elected by the people. If I do not carry out my duties then the rakyat will punish me in due time. I have to face the people’s court every five years but God willing, I have been judged five times and I won,” he said to reporters when met during his official visit to Sekinchan here Tuesday.

        thestar.com.my

Nazri also said he was not bothered with being called "kurang ajar" (disrespectful) towards the royalty.“At the end of the day, my constituents are my only concern. That is why I am a wakil rakyat for five terms. We subscribe to democracy and people can say whatever they want about me. But don’t get mad when I rebuke because I too have the right to say my views. Be fair," he was quoted as saying.

16 June: The crown prince of Johor, Tunku Ismail ibni Sultan Ibrahim has been quite vocal in regards to the political situation in Malaysia as of late.
The heir apparent, also known as Tunku Mahkota Johor (TMJ) to the people, came into the spotlight when he criticised PM Najib Razak's no-show at the Nothing2Hide forum on 5 June in a statement on the Johor football team's official Facebook page.

Image via JOHOR Southern Tigers' Facebook

The JOHOR Southern Tigers Facebook page often serves as the official voice for Tunku Ismail, who is also the President of the Johor Football Association (PBNJ). The page has posted official statements from the prince as well as photos and videos of the prince's official and personal activities.

Tunku Ismail's criticism did not sit well with Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, who told the prince to stay out of politics or the government will "whack" him. He also warned the prince that he will lose respect if he continues to comment on politics.

Image via The Malaysian Insider

"I think he should keep out of politics, otherwise he may be subjected to the same rule. We will whack him," warned Culture and Tourism Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz."Rulers and royal families are above the law (and therefore should not interfere in politics). If he (the crown prince) wants to be a politician, then say so. Then we can answer back. If you hold an important post as royalty in the state, and if you start to say things, if then we (the government) hit you back, don't get angry," he told a press conference at University Malaya on 12 June. "If you start to meddle in politics, then we will question you, then there will be no more respect for the royalty. I hope you keep out of politics. We are the ones who are protecting the royalty," he added.

        malaysiakini.com

Those are fighting words indeed. In a seeming response to Nazri's 'gangster talk', a 17-second video  was posted on Facebook where Tunku Ismail executed the calmest "Come at me, bro" gesture we've ever seen. No words needed.

DYAM Brigadier Jeneral Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Tunku Mahkota Johor-------------HRH Brigadier General Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan IbrahimHidup Johor Demi Johor#JohorMestiSentiasaMenjadiJohorPosted by JOHOR Southern Tigers on Saturday, 13 June 2015

The video, posted on 13 June at 7.12pm, has amassed more than 26,000 'Likes' and more than 7,500 shares at the time of writing.

Nazri declined to comment on the video as the prince did not state to whom the "challenge" was directed at. He did, however, say this: "If the prince wants to say something, he should issue a statement."

Image via The Sun Daily

If it's a statement you want, then a statement you will get. In a Facebook post dubbed a "Message for Malaysians", Tunku Ismail had more than a few words to say in response to Nazri's criticism and threats.

Image via JOHOR Southern Tigers' Facebook

In his statement, the prince pointed out that he was only expressing his opinion on the people's perception of the country's leaders, but even that garnered a "hostile response" from Nazri. He questioned that if he - a royal - got such a response, what will happen if the common people do the same?

Image via Malaysiakini

Of late, I just voiced out my opinion and a reminder that people who has been entrusted with the responsibility to not blame the people for losing trust and confidence in them, but think of why the people no longer have the confidence and trust in them. Apparently my gentle reminder has been met with a rather hostile response from a minister. If I got such a reply, then what chances does the rest of the rakyat have?

        facebook.com

Reminding Nazri that he is "not a God from the heavens who lord above everybody", TMJ said that ministers exist to serve the people, not to provide them with power and wealth. He added that he would rather be "cursed for standing up for what is right" to ensure the well-being of the rakyat.

Image via mStar

You are a minister, not a God from the heavens who lord above everybody. Do not think the people of this country exist to provide you with position and wealth, but the position exists for you to serve the people. When I voice out, I do it as the leader of my rakyat, on behalf of Johoreans and Malaysians. All I did is to remind the leaders of the country that they have a responsibility to serve the people, and for this, I am attacked.In the new world order, I envision a future that every person has a right to voice their opinions. However, that is not the case in Malaysia today, where ministers think they are untouchable. I am willing to be cursed for standing up for what is right, rather than be loved for defending what is wrong.I am not a politician. I am only answerable to Allah, my Sultan and the people of Johor. I do not do the bidding of some puppet-master who pulls the strings. Johor only has place for those who want to serve the people, not for those who want to garner votes for their own interests.There will come a time, when the Johorean people must decide what is best for us and our future generations. Decide and unite we will, as Bangsa Johor, to forge our future. United we stand strong, divided we fall. I stand for my rakyat, not to joust for power, not to topple the government, but to ensure the well-being of my people.

        facebook.com

Furthermore, he said that politicians who cannot deal with criticism are just showing their "arrogance to the people" and while he has been blessed with a "comfortable life", he'd chosen to stand by the people's side instead of watching from the sidelines

Image via Blog Coklateyes

I never told anybody to step down or resign, only to remind politicians of their roles and responsibilities. If you cannot deal with that, it just shows your arrogance to the people. Alhamdulillah, I have been blessed with a comfortable life, and I can just live my own life and be oblivious to the worries of my people, but here I am, standing firm by their side. So for those wanting to tarnish my image and make me public enemy number one, the people are smarter than that, and they can think for themselves.

        facebook.com

As a conclusion to his statement, Tunku Ismail urged politicians focus on national issues as well as to carry out their duties with "sincerity and integrity" instead of using him to divert the people's attention from more pressing matters

Image via Orang Muda

Do not use me to divert the attention from national issues. This country needs politicians who are clean and transparent, who carry out their duties with sincerity and integrity.

        facebook.com

At the time of writing, the post has gathered more than 150,000 'Likes' and shared over 77,000 times on Facebook! People from all over Malaysia have also left more than 18,000 comments voicing their support for the prince and lauding him for finally speaking up for ordinary Malaysians.

Well, he did none of those things. Instead of backing down, Nazri maintained his stand that monarchs should not interfere in politics, let alone take sides. He also explained that he wouldn't have criticised Tunku Ismail in the first place if the prince hadn't insinuated that Najib was involved in the 1MDB scandal.

“In the first place, no Muslim will ever claim to be God. I am a Muslim. My God is Allah.“As the monarchs are protected by the law, it is difficult for us to retaliate without getting into trouble. It is alright for ordinary citizens to criticise politicians, as we can counter back. But the monarchs are above politics. They are protected under the law. When they criticise, it is difficult for us to react for fear of running foul of laws protecting them.“And, as the crown prince will one day be the Sultan, it is best for him to remain above politics. He should not be seen as taking sides,” said Nazri.

        thestar.com.my

“His words were offensive by saying that Najib had ‘everything to hide’. It is detrimental. It is saying that the Prime Minister is guilty of all those allegations against him,” the Padang Rengas lawmaker was quoted as saying.

Soon, You'll Be Able To Roll Up Your E-Reader Into Three Folds

At a display tech conference in San Diego this week, Nokia and the Semiconductor Energy Lab's Advanced Film Device group presented two new displays that can be folded in two or three folds while displaying video

The "book-type" display before being folded

One of the two types is a "book-type" display that can be folded in two like a book. The other is a "three-fold" display that can be folded in three.

        nikkeibp.co.jp

Both the displays are basic HD 5.9-inch organic light-emitting diode screens

Their pixel count and resolution are 1,280 x 720 and 249ppi, respectively. They were realized by using the "WTC" structure, which combines white light-emitting OLEDs and color filter.

        slate.com

OLED is the tech of choice for folding screens because it uses thin, organic films that light up from electrical current and can be made from flexible materials.

The display is made by forming a release layer, sealing layer and color filter layer in this order on a glass substrate. And a release layer, sealing layer, TFT layer and OLED layer are formed in this order on another glass substrate.

        nikkeibp.co.jp

Then, the color filter layer and OLED layer are attached to each other, and the glass substrates are peeled off and replaced with flexible substrates.

        slate.com

As a result, the color filter, TFT and OLED layers are sandwiched between two sets of a sealing layer and flexible substrate. The water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the two layers of the adhesive used to attach the sealing layer to the flexible substrate as well as the color filter to the OLED layer is as high as 7 x 10-7g/m2/day.

        nikkeibp.co.jp

The folds in the displays can get down to a radius of between 2 and milimeters, and you can bend the displays about 100,000 times before they wear out

A flexible Kindle made of this stuff might not last a lifetime, but you could certainly tote it around in your pocket for a few years.

The teacher, Hanif Azahar, first shared the condition of the classroom prior to the makeover, which showed that the space was in poor condition with pink walls that had begun chipping.Aside from the chipped paint, the whiteboard in the classroom also had marker stains, and the furniture appeared to be old.Hanif said that the makeover was needed in order to motivate his students to come to school every day."So, I was thinking of setting up a theme, (including) under the sea, outer space, in the jungle, and many other crazy ideas," he wrote.

[VIDEO] How Safe Is It To Use E-Hailing Services Like Grab During The RMCO?

With many of us working from home and doing our part to flatten the curve by staying at home during the MCO, we weren't using e-hailing services like Grab as much as we usually do

But now, a lot of us are back to working at offices, schools have reopened, and we've even been going on local staycations. We've been slowly settling back into our usual routines as we embrace the new normal.So, what about Grab? How safe is it to start using it again?

We spoke to a Grab driver-partner and a Grab delivery-partner to find out how the MCO impacted them, as well as learn more about Grab's new safety measures. Watch the full video below:

×

Meet Farid. He has been a GrabFood delivery-partner since May 2018, after losing his job as a music teacher.

Image via SAYS

Farid: "Sebelum saya start GrabFood, saya adalah seorang guru muzik. Tetapi malangnya, sekolah muzik yang saya ajar terpaksa ditutup. Oleh demikian, saya telah start in GrabFood."("Before I started GrabFood, I was a music teacher. But unfortunately, the school I was teaching in had to close down. Hence, I started working with GrabFood.")

Then, there's David, who has been a part-time driver-partner with Grab for five years

Image via SAYS

David: "Hi, my name is David. I'm a part-time driver with Grab. I've been driving with Grab for five years already. I started driving Grab when my computer business dropped. Since the start of MCO, I switched over to full-time driving with Grab."

David shared that things have been tough for Grab driver-partners, as Malaysians are understandably worried about hygiene

Image via SAYS

David: "Everyone was in fear of COVID-19. First week was tough, because there were no passengers at all."

Meanwhile, Farid was worried that the pandemic would cause him to lose another job

Image via SAYS

Farid: "Saya takut kehilangan sumber pendapatan pada waktu tersebut. Tapi, saya rasa agak bertuah kerana pihak kerajaan telah mengumumkan bahawa servis penghantaran makanan adalah kategori essential."("I was afraid of losing the source of my income during that period. But, I feel quite blessed because the government announced that food delivery services are categorised as essential.")

With their new safety measures and precautions, Grab has been able to reassure the public as well as protect their driver-partners and delivery-partners

Farid: "Sebelum kami menghantar dan mengambil makanan, kami akan pastikan bahawa tangan kami telah disanitasi. Beg kami telah disinfeksi, dan juga pemegang motosikal kami."("Every time before we deliver and collect the food, we make sure that our hands are sanitised. Our bags have been disinfected, and our motorbike handles too.")

Image via SAYS

David: "We make sure every morning, we have ample supply of face masks and hand sanitiser. We sanitise the car before we start the journey. There is a new in-app declaration before we start our work. A few points, whether we've done what the checklist requires us to do."

Image via SAYS

Grab has also provided their driver-partners and delivery-partners with some essential tools

Image via SAYS

Farid: "Terima kasih juga kepada pihak Grab kerana telah membekalkan kami beberapa barang penting, iaitu kit sanitasi."("Thank you also to Grab Team for supplying us some essential items, namely, the sanitisation kit.")David: "Under the GrabProtect programme, we have been given a kit consisting of hand sanitiser and disinfectant for us to clean the car."

Rest assured that Grab has several new SOPs in place and are doing all they can to keep you safe when you use their services

So, the answer to the question is yes, it is safe to use Grab services during the RMCO. Just make sure you're also taking the necessary precautions. As our PM recently reminded us, remember to wear face masks in public areas and follow all the strict SOPs in place.Click here for more information on Grab's new safety measures.


The Different Ways Hokkien, Cantonese, And Other Dialect Groups In Malaysia Celebrate CNY

Ang pows, mandarin oranges, and lion dances - these are all the classic symbols of Chinese New Year celebrations in Malaysia and among people of Chinese descent all over the world

However, did you know that each dialect group also observes the festival in their own unique ways?

The Hakka unicorn dance being performed in Sabah.

Due to our differences in cultural influences, certain practices, rituals, traditions, and even food items served during CNY can differ from one dialect group to another. Often, these practices are a reflection of our ancestors' beliefs and geographical origins. While some of these customs are still widespread and are even assimilated into other cultures today, others have may been forgotten or dismissed as mere superstition in modern times.

Here are some CNY traditions and customs that are uniquely celebrated by the Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, and other Chinese dialect groups:

(i) CANTONESE

On CNY eve: A lot of thought is put into the food served during reunion dinner, as certain dishes or food items symbolise good blessings for the new year

Fatt choy braised with flower mushrooms, sun-dried oysters, broccoli, and pork.
Image via Kuali

A Cantonese reunion dinner is not complete without fatt choy, a hair-like black fungus signifying prosperity that's typically braised with broccoli, mushrooms, and dried oysters (good news). Other symbolic food items include fish (prosperity, unity, and surplus), dumplings (good fortune), and spring onion (intelligence). It's also important to leave leftovers for the next day to signify overflow of prosperity and the continuity of balance.

On the second day of CNY: Business people will hold a Hoi Nin (meaning "opening of the year") prayer to bless their business with luck and prosperity for the year

Known as "chor yee" in Cantonese, some consider the second day of CNY the actual beginning of the year and will also offer prayers to their ancestors and gods on this day. It is also believed that the second day of CNY is the birthday of all dogs, hence some will remember man's best friend with special treats.

On the seventh day of CNY: In one of the most widespread traditions among Malaysian Chinese, yee sang is tossed to mark Renri (People's Day)

The celebration of Renri dates back to the Han Dynasty and has its roots in Chinese mythology. It is said that Nüwa, the goddess of creation and restoration, created human beings on the seventh day. As such, the seventh day of the first lunar month (Zhengyue) is celebrated as the "common birthday" of all human beings.

While the Chinese in Guangdong traditionally prepare seven-vegetable soup or congee, overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia toss yee sang (traditionally a seven-colour fish salad) instead for continued wealth and prosperity.

Image via Lovely.Asia

Main ingredients for yee sang include a variety of julienned vegetables, plum or sweet and sour sauce, crackers, and slivers of raw salmon. Typically served during get-togethers, family members and friends would toss and mix the ingredients together while shouting auspicious phrases for luck and good fortune. The higher you toss (and the more mess you make), the more effective those wishes are said to be. In recent times, some restaurants have also come up with their own unique take on the fish salad, adding ingredients like pomelo, Iberico ham, fresh fruits, and even seafood into the dish.

(ii) HOKKIEN

On the ninth day of CNY: In a ritual commonly known as pai ti kong, the Hokkiens offer prayers to the Jade Emperor on his birthday

Image via Tsem Rinpoche

On the evening of the eighth day, Hokkien households would set up an altar table laden with offerings such as fresh fruits, roasted meats, dyed red eggs, sweet cakes, sugary confections, tea, and most importantly, sugar cane*. *Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the Hokkiens were spared from a massacre by Japanese pirates after hiding in a sugar cane plantation on the eighth and ninth day of the first lunar month, coinciding with the Jade Emperor's birthday. As "sugar cane" (kam chia) sounds similar to "thank you" (kam xia) in Hokkien, sugar cane is offered to express gratitude to the Jade Emperor.

Image via Instagram @samlikesunicorns

At the stroke of midnight, prayers would commence with intricately carved dragon-themed joss sticks. Firecrackers and fireworks will also be lit (sometimes even more so than any other day of CNY), followed by a bonfire of kim cua (joss papers) and a late-night feast. The Jade Emperor's birthday is considered the most important day of the lunar new year for the Hokkien community, with some schools and employers actually declaring it as a holiday for students and employees respectively.

(iii) HAKKA

On CNY eve: Certain food items are served to certain members of the family during the reunion dinner, as each ingredient has its own special meaning

Image via Kuali

Chicken wings are often served to the youths so that they can "fly high" in their studies and/or careers. Fish heads are reserved for the elders to show respect for the elders, but the most coveted part of the fish has got to be its eyes - it is said that schoolchildren who consume fish eyes will do better in their studies.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month: Hakkas gather to celebrate Tian Chuan Re (Sky Mending Day) in commemoration of the day Goddess Nüwa mended the sky

On this day, the Hakka - who are traditionally nomads - will cease all daily activities to celebrate the auspicious occasion by making offerings of steamed rice cakes and fried sticky rice balls with with needles in it to symbolise the tools the goddess stitched the sky up with. According to Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Fui Chiu Association president Russell Chia, Hakkas believe that this day symbolises birth, continuity of life, and a new start.

The uniquely Hakka unicorn dance may also be performed during CNY celebrations, especially within Hakka-majority communities

Image via Save the Hakka Culture Facebook

Unlike the lion dance, the unicorn dance uses very high and low stances. According to Vision Times, the head of the unicorn moves in a circular motion from left to right and looking backwards as well as in little shaking movements, whereas the lion's head moves up and down with the dancers usually high on their legs. The unicorn dance is typically performed during Hakka festivals and celebrations, and is believed to ward off bad luck and bring in the good instead. Watch the unicorn dance being performed in a Sabah shopping mall during CNY last year here:

(iv) TEOCHEW

Olives are an important fixture in the Teochews' CNY celebration. They are often given as gifts and served to guests during CNY, usually together with mandarin oranges.

Image via 123rf

The use of olives in Teochew culture dates back to the Qing Dynasty, where they were traditionally used in prayers as well as a premium offering to the emperor. It probably also has something to do with the fact that Chaozhou, the ancestral home of the Teochew people, is one of the few places in China that produces olives.

On CNY eve: The tradition of having steamboat for reunion dinner is said to be of Teochew origins, as the weather is often cold during CNY in the Chaozhou provinces in the days of old

Image via YouTube

According to NLB, it is also tradition to not finish the dishes served at the reunion dinner so that there will be leftovers brought over to the new year, thus symbolising excess and abundance for the coming year. The leftover food will then be served on the first day of the new year.

(v) HAINANESE

On CNY eve: The Hainanese community in Klang Valley will head to the Thean Hou Temple in Kuala Lumpur after reunion dinner to pay homage to Mazu, goddess of the sea

Image via Instagram @leuzituu

In the olden days, people on Hainan island - most of whom relied on the sea for income - would pray to the goddess Mazu to ask for safe passage before going on their voyages and sea escapades. As such, Mazu is also known as the patron goddess of Fujian and Hainan provinces. Today, modern Hainanese pray to her for guidance and ask for blessing on their business and children's academic studies.

(vi) FOOCHOW

On the first day of CNY: Ang jiu mee suah (red glutinous win chicken soup with longevity noodles) is a must-have dish to symbolise prosperity and longevity

Image via Instagram @wendy_yeohwy

According to Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Foo Chow Association's Lin Siew Chin, the noodles will also be served with two hard-boiled eggs to wish for the diner's well-being in the new year.

While Malaysians of Chinese descent have pretty much assimilated in the modern times, the lines between different dialect groups were still quite distinct in the early days of Chinese immigration to Malaya:

Laporan mengatakan bahawa YG Entertainment, sebuah syarikat hiburan gergasi di Korea Selatan mengesyaki Jho Low telah terlibat dalam skandal seks bersama seorang anggota Big Bang iaitu Seungri.Jho Low merupakan salah seorang daripada dua pelabur Asia Tenggara yang didakwa telah menyediakan perkhidmatan seks pada tahun 2014.

Skandal seks Seungri mula dilaporkan sejak April 2019 setelah polis Korea mengesahkan beberapa dakwaan

Image via Koreaboo

Seungri dituduh menawarkan perkhidmatan seks kepada calon pelabur dari luar negara di kelab malam di Gangnam pada tahun 2015 dan mengadakan satu acara yang sama pada hari jadi beliau di Filipina pada Disember 2017.Selain itu, Seungri juga sedang disiasat atas penggunaan dadah yang menyalahi undang-undang dan keganasan seksual di Burning Sun, sebuah kelab malam di mana dia didakwa melabur wang tunai, dan berkongsi video seks dengan rakan-rakannya.

Berbalik kepada Jho Low, isu ini telah dibincangkan oleh saluran media MBC di Korea dalam rancangan berjudul 'Straight' dan diceritakan oleh seorang pengguna Twitter @neoliveson

Image via Twitter @neoliveson

@neoliveson menerusi bebenang di Twitter menceritakan secara terperinci tentang intipati rancangan tersebut.Episod 'Straight' kali ini membongkar bahawa dalam masa kurang 2 bulan selepas Burning Sun ditutup, sebuah kelab malam baru telah dibuka pada akhir bulan lepas yang diberi nama Label. Ironinya, kebanyakan pekerjanya adalah dari kelab malam Burning Sun.

Image via imgur.com

Turut terpapar tulisan 'King Is Back' di kelab malam Label yang seolah-olah menandakan 'Raja Telah Kembali'. Tetapi siapakah raja tersebut dan apakah yang mereka maksudkan?

Image via imgur.com

Tambahan lagi, kelab malam tersebut dilaporkan menawarkan perkhidmatan seks kepada pelabur VIP bersama gadis remaja berusia 14 tahun

Biasanya, gadis-gadis ini akan diberi dadah dan dibayar sekitar USD300 (RM1,257) hingga USD1,000 (RM4,191) jika babak mereka dirakam. Ramai ahli VIP dikatakan mahu mengadakan hubungan seks bersama gadis remaja.Gadis-gadis ini diserang secara seksual/diperkosa di bilik mandi kelab. Manakala, di bilik VIP pula, aksi seksual turut dilakukan di bilik mandi. Setelah selesai, gadis-gadis ini kemudian dibuang seperti sampah dan ditinggalkan begitu sahaja di lantai bilik mandi.

Image via imgur.com

Kenapa kelab ini begitu popular?VIP boleh membeli meja dari beberapa ribu hingga puluhan ribu dolarSemua transaksi dilakukan secara tunai bagi mudah mengelakkan cukaiIa adalah tempat hiburan untuk VIP melakukan "perniagaan" merekaBanyak lagi yang diceritakan oleh @neoliveson.

Ramai netizen terkejut dengan berita gempar ini dan tidak menyangka langsung bahawa Jho Low boleh terlibat dalam skandal seks Seungri

Adakah Jho Low menggunakan dana 1MDB juga dalam kes ini?

Image via imgur.com

Image via imgur.com

Barangkali, Jho Low telah pun menjalin hubungan bersama YG sejak sekian lama. Masih ingat lagi artis sensasi PSY diterbangkan secara khas ke Malaysia pada tahun 2013?

Image via imgur.com

Ada kemungkinan bahawa Jho Low merupakan salah seorang individu penting dalam menjayakan acara berkenaan. PSY membuat persembahan di Pulau Pinang ketika sambutan Tahun Baru Cina pada 11 Februari 2013 bersempena jelajah Pilihan Raya Barisan Nasional. Throwback detik tersebut di bawah:

People Help Sarawakian Catch His Flight After Learning He Was Going To Walk 80KM To KLIA

On Thursday, 18 June, a man from Sarawak, who has been working in Selayang, Selangor, finally returned home after not having any income amidst the Movement Control Order (MCO) that lasted for 83 days

The Sarawakian's journey home, however, would not have happened if not for the last hour kindness of a man and his team of Good Samaritans in Puchong who ensured the man was able to catch his flight.In return, his family couldn't thank the Good Samaritans enough for what they did for a stranger.

What happened?

According to a Facebook account, Kuan Chee Heng, who is fondly known as 'Uncle Kentang' for his philanthropic nature, the Sarawakian's sister messaged him yesterday morning.In her messages to Kuan, Laura informed him about her brother's determination to walk all the way to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) from Selayang — a distance of about 80km.He wanted to return home but had no money for his transport to KLIA.The factory he worked at had been closed due to the almost three-month long MCO.Helpless and out of option, he decided to walk — from Selayang to KLIA — a journey that would take at least 16 hours, if not more, on foot if he walks nonstop for him to catch his 5pm flight.

Image via SAYS/Google Maps

His family had already helped him buy the flight ticket, however, they couldn't send him any money."After walking for two hours, he was still at Jalan Kuching. That's when the call came in asking me to help," Kuan wrote on his Facebook post at about 2pm, adding that he then dispatched his team to help him.

So who is this 'Uncle Kentang'?

The 56-year-old businessman cum philanthropist has been helping those in need for years through his unique idea of handing out kentang (potatoes) because while the poor often received rice from the public, they were so poor that they had to eat it plain with soy sauce, according to a report in New Straits Times."They don't even have money to buy vegetables. When I gave them potatoes, they were very happy."People can call him and collect the potatoes. He also set up a public kitchen in Puchong.He also provides free ambulance service for those who cannot afford it, provides hearses for communities in need, and have previously introduced Pasar 10 sen or 10 sen market, where the less fortunate can buy donated items, such as a washing machine or a piece of clothing, for 10 sen.Uncle Kentang runs his charity initiatives through crowdfunding.

Cocaine-Addict Malaysian Surgeon Deported Back Home After Losing Medical License

A Malaysian-born surgeon in Australia has had his medical license revoked, permanent residency cancelled, and will now be deported

Dr Suresh Nair was allowed to continue working as a neurosurgeon at the Nepean Private Hospital despite the NSW Medical Council being aware of his addiction to cocaine since 2004.

The Daily Mail Australia said the Malaysian-born doctor would now be deported back to his home country after his permanent residency was cancelled. His medical licence was subsequently revoked.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Dr Suresh Nair, a neurosurgeon practising in Australia, was known to be a cocaine addict

Image via smh.com.au

He has been linked to the death of two young sex workers who both died from cocaine overdose after spending the night at his home

In February 2009, a 23-year-old sex worker, Victoria McIntyre, died of a cocaine overdose after a night at the neurosurgeon's apartment.

In February 2009, a 23-year-old sex worker, Victoria McIntyre, died of a cocaine overdose after a night at the neurosurgeon's apartment.

        themalaysianinsider.com

However, Dr Suresh was arrested in 2010 following the death of a second escort at his home, reported Daily Mail Australia. Nineteen-year-old Suellen Domingues-Zaupa, died after suffering a cardiac arrest from a cocaine overdose.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Now, the Australian media are revealing horror stories from his patients who claim that he had mishandled their spinal operations, causing them a lifetime of pain

Horror stories from his patients are emerging in Australian media following reports that Dr Suresh Nair was allowed to continue working as a neurosurgeon at the Nepean Private Hospital in Sydney despite the New South Wales Medical Council being aware of his addiction to cocaine since 2004.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The Daily Mail Australia cited one of Dr Suresh's patients Carla Downes, who told the ABC that in her second of three operations, Dr Suresh had operated at the wrong level of her spine, leading to seven years of constant pain and leaving her unable to walk up a flight of stairs.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The report also cited another patient, Rhonda Taylor, who told Fairfax Media that her mishandled spinal fusion, performed by Dr Suresh in 2009, had "taken (her) life away".

        themalaysianinsider.com

The controversy deepens when it was found that the Nepean Private Hospital in Sydney allowed him to continue performing spinal operations despite knowledge of his problem

Dr Suresh Nair worked at the Nepean Private Hospital in Sydney's western suburbs performing delicate operations, but spent much of his time leading a double life.

        abc.net.au

Dr Nair had been on the impaired doctor's program since 2004 after self-reporting a problem with cocaine. However, at the end of 2008, the NSW Medical Board (now the Medical Council) decided it was safe to stop drug testing the neurosurgeon. That decision coincided with some major personal problems and Dr Nair's life began to spiral out of control.

        abc.net.au

Nepean Public Hospital was aware Dr Nair was again using cocaine, and withdrew his clinical privileges. But he was cleared by the NSW Medical Board to work under conditions and on that basis continued to operate at the private hospital next door.

        abc.net.au

Dr Suresh led a double life between practising medicine and spending tens of thousands on prostitutes and drug parties

Between shifts, the Malaysian-born doctor was spending tens of thousands of dollars on marathon sessions with prostitutes and cocaine.

        abc.net.au

At the time, Dr Suresh was spending tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes and hosting small drug parties in his home, according to the ABC.

        themalaysianinsider.com

His colleague would describe his surgical decisions as "often bizarre", but Dr Suresh continued to retain his medical certificate

The Daily Mail Australia cited a Fairfax report which said that even his co-workers, fellow neurosurgeons, began expressing doubts at Dr Suresh's ability "to function as a consultant" at this point, with one person describing his surgical decisions as "often bizarre".

        themalaysianinsider.com

The expose relates that, while the NSW Medical Board, the Health Care Complaints Commission, the Nepean public hospital and Nepean Private Hospital were all warned about Nair's chronic, continuing addiction over a five-year period, he continued to slip through the cracks and retain his certificate, leaving a trail of crippled victims and shattered lives, right up until his arrest in November 2009, when a second prostitute died in his home, also from a cocaine overdose.

        smh.com.au

In 2011, Dr Suresh was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to one count of manslaughter and two counts of supplying cocaine

Dr Nair was arrested in 2010 following the death of a second escort at his home. 19-year-old Suellen Domingues-Zaupa, died after suffering a cardiac arrest from a cocaine overdose.

Dr Suresh was eventually jailed for four years after he pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter and two counts of supplying cocaine, the Daily Mail Australia said, citing a joint investigation by the ABC and Fairfax.

Kilang Kopi Di Vietnam Kantoi Campurkan Bahan Kotor Dan Cecair Bateri Ke Dalam Produk

Perniagaan yang telah dijalankan oleh sebuah keluarga di Vietnam telah ditangkap kerana didapati menghasilkan kopi murah dan kotor.
Kopi tersebut telah diperbuat dari bateri, habuk serta bahan-bahan berbahaya yang lain.

Setelah menerima beberapa aduan dari penduduk setempat yang dikatakan melihat aktiviti mencurigakan di kawasan itu, pihak polis telah menyerbu kilang tersebut yang terletak di wilayah Dak Nong pada petang Isnin.Dalam serbuan tersebut, polis menemui 35 kilogram bateri hancur disimpan di dalam dua bekas, sebuah kontena cecair hitam seberat 10 kilogram, dan 12 tan kopi kotor telah tersedia untuk dihantar.

Pemiliknya, Nguyen Thi Loan memberitahu pihak polis bahawa beliau akan membeli biji kopi yang ditolak dengan harga rendah

Mereka kemudiannya akan mencampurkan serbuk kopi tersebut dengan bahan kotoran, habuk, batu serta campuran pewarna hitam dan bahan bateri ke dalam produk kopi yang bakal dijual itu.NOTA: Keracunan bahan kimia ini dikatakan boleh menyebabkan kerosakan otak selepas pendedahan yang berpanjangan.

Cara mereka melakukannya adalah dengan menghancurkan bateri sehingga menjadi serpihan untuk diproses menjadi serbuk. Manakala, serbuk yang diekstrak dari bateri akan dimasukkan ke dalam air dan akan menghasilkan cecair hitam yang boleh digunakan untuk memperhaluskan bijian kopi sebelum dipanggang dan dibungkus untuk dijual.

Menurut Tuoi Tre News, pengakuan oleh pemilik dan bukti yang dijumpai oleh pihak polis masih tidak mengumpul bukti yang cukup untuk mendakwa bahawa kopi tersebut dijual untuk makanan dan minuman

Image via Beijing Roast Duck

Perniagaan itu dikatakan telah beroperasi sejak tahun 2016 dan pada awal tahun ini mereka telah membekalkan kira-kira 2,700 kilogram kopi, menurut kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh pemiliknya.Tuoi Tre News juga melaporkan bahawa polis masih mencari bukti yang cukup untuk menentukan bahawa kopi telah dijual serta tujuan disebaliknya. Dalam pada itu, pengguna di Vietnam ingin menuntut keadilan bagi mereka yang terlibat dalam perniagaan kotor ini.

Buat masa ini mungkin anda perlu hentikan pembelian kopi yang diperbuat dari Vietnam untuk mengelakkan perkara tidak diingini berlaku.

Deputy Finance Minister Says There Is RM11 Billion In Unclaimed Money

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

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan has shared that there is approximately RM11 billion in Unclaimed Money (WTD) belonging to the public as of March this year

According to Bernama, he said the amount was out of the RM14.1 billion received by the Accountant-General's Department (AGD) from companies or firms from 1977 until last month, in accordance with Section 8 of the Unclaimed Act (Act 370).He added that, from the total amount, about RM3.2 billion, such as in saving accounts, insurance, and deposits, have been refunded to their respective owners.Ahmad explained that a large portion of the RM11 billion in WTD has been invested by the government in fixed deposits, in accordance with the Financial Procedure Act 1957, and the interest earned is accounted for in the Consolidated Revenue Account. "From that fixed deposit, we get RM250 million in interest and we use that money for the people," he told Bernama.

Ahmad said WTD is defined as:

			1. Money that is legally payable to the owner but has remained unpaid for a period of not less than one year.2. Money standing to the credit of an account that has not been operated in whatever manner by the owner for a period of not less than seven years.3. Money to the credit of a trade account that has remained dormant for a period of not less than two years.

According to the Pontian member of parliament (MP), owners of the unclaimed money can claim their money

They can either submit an application via the eGUMIS portal, at AGD counters nationwide, or by sending a direct mail to the WTD Putrajaya office.According to Bernama, he said that the eGUMIS portal, which was launched in 2020, received about 17.2 million visitors last month, with the number of registered users reaching almost 4.4 million.He was quoted saying that during that period, a total of 354,912 online WTD claim applications were received, and of that amount, a total of RM199 million in claim amounts was processed.He also added that AGD was developing an eGUMIS mobile application which can be accessed by the public in the fourth quarter of this year.Ahmad said that the government intends to amend Act 370, involving the period of transfer to the Consolidated Revenue Account from 15 years to 10 years, to redefine WTD according to Sections 8(a) and 8(c) of Act 370.He was cited saying that the act has not been amended in a long time, and the government expects to table the proposed amendments at the end of 2023.

[FACT OR FAKE #66] Is Coke Really Recalling Two Million "Contaminated" Coca-Cola Bottles?

On 29 July 2014, Empire News published an article saying that Coca-Cola has recalled two million bottles of its flagship soft drink bearing the name "Michael", due to contamination issues caused by an employee upset over sexual harassment by her supervisor

Screenshot of the article from the Empire News website
Image via SAYS.com

Soon links and excerpts referencing this article were being circulated via social media, including Albany television station WNYT

Image via kinja-img.com

The article was an instant hit, amassing over 200,000 since it was published. But among the usual crop of dupes was one that definitely should have known better—Albany's NBC affiliate WNYT. The station ran a story covering the "recall" on Wednesday, citing no source and naming the supposed adulterant as "top soil to be exact."

        gawker.com

Several people on social media sites like Twitter also tweeted about the "Michael" bottles being contaminated. The recall circulated around the Internet, making it go viral.

Image via SAYS.com

Image via SAYS.com

Even a top-five contestant on 'American Idol', with her Verified Twitter account, this past season also joined in:

Image via @JessMeuse via Twitter

So what's the deal here? Did someone at Coke really contaminate the product? Is Coca-Cola actually recalling two million bottles with 'Michael' on its label? How much of all this is FACT or FAKE?

Image via says.com

FAKE: No one poured dirt into Coke cans labeled "Michael" and contaminated the product in order to get back at their boss. Also, Coke isn't recalling any product. It was all a lie.

Image via netdna-cdn.com

You see, Empire News, which published the article, is a website dedicated to lies and rumours and hoaxes. Its primary motive is to fool anyone who believe anything they see or read on Internet.

It other words, Empire News is a lame "satirical site", and everything posted on its website is either a lie, a rumour or a bad hoax. Nothing, absolutely nothing, you read on Empire News is actual news.

        bit.ly

So, as there was no Coke recall, you can feel free to share your Coca-Cola with "Michael" or whomsoever you want
