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

Recently, a man who was eating dinner at an eatery was assaulted for refusing to entertain a couple of keychain sellers in Singapore

According to Lianhe Zaobao, a Chinese daily in Singapore, the man, surnamed Cai, was dining at Lor 9 Beef Kway Teow eatery in Geylang when he was approached by a tattooed young man selling keychains."He was holding a card filled with words but he wasn't mute or deaf. I suspected he was a fraud, so I politely refused to buy anything from him," recounted Cai, who works as an administrative assistant.However, the keychain seller refused to budge and continued to pester Cai to buy a keychain from him. The 39-year-old, who didn't want his dinner interrupted, then told the man that he doesn't have money.Hearing this, the keychain seller then mocked the man, saying, "No money but you're still eating such good food." This did not sit well with Cai, who asked him to repeat what he said.The man started cursing at Cai, who then asked him to leave so Cai could go back to eating his dinner.However, another man suddenly appeared from behind the keychain seller with a glass coffee cup in his hand and started bashing the cup at Cai's head, while yelling, "Don't mess with my brother."

The assault left Cai bleeding profusely and feeling dizzy

"I felt dizzy after being hit and I only vaguely remember someone helping me onto a chair, and then someone helped to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital," Lianhe Zaobao quoted Cai as saying.Cai ended up receiving three stitches at the hospital and had to take two days of sick leave.According to him, he still experiences headaches and has since lost his appetite.He has also been asked by the doctor to return for a check-up next week, and if his headaches persists, Cai will need to go for an X-ray to check for blood clots, reported the daily.

Cai has since lodged a police report

He hopes that the two men can be caught as soon as possible."I also hope that those who know any information can provide clues to the police," Cai said.However, the eatery staff, when interviewed by the daily, claimed that they didn't notice anything.According to one of the staff, who didn't want to be named, "It was very busy at that time, so we didn't notice anything until some customers were attending to the injured man."The staff shared that hawkers come to the eatery to sell miscellaneous items and that the staff don't turn them away. However, he did not recognise the two men, who haven't returned since the incident.

Earlier this month, a taxi driver assaulted a man in Johor Bahru after he accused the driver of overcharging his customers:

Menurut Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Eskayvie, Dr Syid Ayob Syid Mustafa Al Qudri, pihaknya memahami kerisauan ibu bapa tentang keselamatan anak-anak di bawah usia 12 tahun yang masih belum mendapat suntikan vaksin.Oleh itu, Eskayvie Sdn Bhd yang menjadi peneraju dalam penghasilan suplemen kesihatan tempatan kini mengorak langkah dengan melancarkan produk vitamin terbarunya, Diffenz Junior.Produk berkenaan khusus untuk golongan kanak kanak dan bertepatan dengan situasi pandemik semasa Covid-19 menuju endemik.“Diffenz Junior menjadi inovasi terbaharu kami bagi membantu ibu bapa untuk memberi perlindungan terbaik bagi kanak-kanak di musim pandemik ini."Dalam keadaan sekarang, sistem imun yang baik adalah sangat penting dan Eskayvie sentiasa berusaha memberikan sokongan diperlukan untuk setiap peringkat umur,” katanya.

Pentingnya melindungi dan menjaga sistem imun kanak-kanak kerana mereka berisiko serta sangat terdedah kepada jangkitan kuman dan virus

Jelas Dr Syid Ayob lagi, tabiat pemakanan yang tidak seimbang selain kurang melakukan aktiviti riadah di luar rumah disebabkan pandemik, menyebabkan mereka cenderung mengalami sistem imun yang lemah."Dengan Diffenz Junior melengkapi keperluan itu, dirumus secara saintifik  menggabungkan bahan utama iaitu Cendawan Susu Harimau, Buah Camu-camu, Kolostrum, Multivitamin, Vitamin C dan Vitamin D."Gabungan ramuan kaya antioksidan, vitamin dan flavonoid semula jadi ini mampu memberi perlindungan terbaik kepada kanak-kanak."Tablet kunyahan perisa oren yang enak ini bukan saja untuk menyokong sistem imun, malah turut membantu tumbesaran anak dan seterusnya menjadikan mereka kekal sihat dan bertenaga sepanjang hari,” katanya.Untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai produk Diffenz Junior ini, anda boleh saja layari laman web www.eskayvie.com atau di media sosial Facebook dan Instagram mereka.

        sinarharian.com.my

Lebih membimbangkan pihak polis, di dalam MPV itu ada selaras senjata api yang mungkin boleh disalahguna oleh lelaki berkenaan yang mempunyai lima rekod lampau melibatkan kes kecederaan, kecurian dan dadah.

        utusan.com.my

Suspek menolak keluar anggota polis daripada kereta ketika dalam perjalanan ke balai polis

“Ada dalam lima penduduk kampung berkenaan telah bertindak menangkap suspek yang ketika itu sedang tidur di sebuah lori buruk di kampung terbabit.

        sinarharian.com.my

“Seperti prosedur biasa, anggota kita membuat pemeriksaan dan mendapati, suspek tidak mempunyai dokumen pengenalan diri menyebabkan anggota kita membuat keputusan untuk membawa suspek ke balai polis berhampiran menggunakan kenderaan berkenaan.

        sinarharian.com.my

"Namun ketika kedua-dua anggota itu hendak membawa suspek ke balai polis, suspek tiba-tiba mencapai stereng MPV sebelum menolak keluar anggota polis. Suspek kemudian melarikan MPV berwarna perak dan bernombor pendaftaran WLR 6857 itu dipercayai ke arah utara.

        utusan.com.my

Ketua Polis Daerah Taiping mengaku kelemahan anggota polisnya

"Kita percaya kejadian ini berlaku atas kelemahan anggota sehingga menyebabkan suspek berjaya meloloskan diri," katanya dalam sidang akhbar di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Taiping di sini hari ini.

        utusan.com.my

Menurutnya, dua anggota yang terlibat akan didakwa di bawah Seksyen 223 dan 224 Kanun Keseksaan melibatkan penjawat awam dengan cuai telah melepaskan tahan dan suspek lari dalam tahanan yang sah.

        sinarharian.com.my

“Kita memandang serius isu seumpama itu dan akan mengambil tindakan tegas meskipun melibatkan anggota sendiri.
“Dalam kes ini, kita amat memerlukan kerjasama dan maklumat daripada orang ramai untuk membantu mengesan dan menjejak suspek.

        sinarharian.com.my

Polis menubuhkan pasukan khas untuk mencari kereta mereka

Polis menubuhkan pasukan khas untuk memburu suspek, Muhamad Hafiz Saidin, 32, yang berasal dari Kampung Tampang, Tasek Gelugor, Pulau Pinang dengan mengadakan sekatan jalan raya dan bantuan Pasukan Gerakan Udara PDRM.

        utusan.com.my

Menurut beliau, pasukan itu membuat pemantauan untuk menjejaki kereta jenis Proton Waja bersama selaras senjata automatik milik anggota polis.

        malaysiaedition.net

Sementara itu, penduduk di beberapa buah kampung sekitar Ara Kuda, Kampung Padang Cempedak dan beberapa kampung bersempadan dengan Lunas di sini cemas selepas melihat kehadiran anggota polis lengkap bersenjata dan helikopter yang terbang rendah pagi ini.

Malaysians have a fairly good understanding of what violence against women is. However, many still believe that there are circumstances for which that violence is acceptable.

The Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) has revealed some concerning initial findings from a survey they conducted titled 'Malaysian Public Attitudes and Perceptions Towards Violence Against Women (VAW)'.The survey involved 1,000 Malaysian respondents, and the rights group said it is the first large-scale, nationally-representative study of the attitudes and perceptions towards VAW in the country.Although the survey results demonstrate that overall, Malaysians know the physical and also non-physical forms of violence, it also found that many still undermine the complexity of the abuse.Some findings show:– More than half of Malaysians (53.3%) believe that domestic violence is a normal reaction of stress or frustration.– 43% of respondents believe that a woman can make a man so angry that he hits her when he does not mean to.– One third (30%) believe that women who flirt often are to blame for causing their partners to hit them out of jealousy.– 26.5% of Malaysians believe that domestic violence is forgivable, if the perpetrator is so angry that they lose control.

The survey also revealed that only half of Malaysians support gender equality (46.3%) and oppose violence-endorsing attitudes (52.7%)

Violence-endorsing attitudes are loosely defined as attitudes that justify, excuse, minimise VAW, or blame survivors for the violence perpetrated against them.So while Malaysians can identify the violence in issues surrounding sexual harassment and assault, rape, and child marriage, many exhibit attitudes that dismiss a victim's experience.For example, the survey found that 37.1% of respondents believe that it is not as hard to leave an abusive relationship, and 44.9% believe that women who stay with their abusive partners are also responsible for the ongoing abuse.A high percentage of Malaysians also still believe antiquated rape myths, which WAO said is a worrying finding as it further reflects public support towards victim-blaming practices.They found that:– 83.4% believe that rape happens because of men's uncontrollable sexual desires.– 51.3% of respondents believe that rape happens because of how women dress.

On a more positive note, Malaysians strongly oppose child marriage

Survey results indicated that 70.3% of respondents do not agree with child marriage under any and all circumstances.Only approximately one tenth of Malaysians explicitly support child marriage, with the greatest support coming from older men aged 55 years and above.Additionally, only a small percent of Malaysians demonstrated less knowledge towards cyber-harassment, stalking, and controlling behaviour.11% of survey respondents do not consider preventing their partners from seeing their family or friends, or denying them access to finances, as forms of domestic violence.

Based on their findings, WAO has called on the government to help come up with a comprehensive prevention strategy to tackle VAW in Malaysia

The group listed nine recommendations in their report, which included increasing public understanding, actively challenging and changing messages that subtly sustain VAW, training frontline government officers to deal with violence-endorsing attitudes, and using political will to combat child marriages and female genital mutilations.They also hope the government will continue conducting public attitude surveys towards VAW like theirs every few years to track the progression and regression of Malaysian attitudes.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

The names were given by Abi Amin's grandfather.“My grandfather wanted to name his great-grandchildren. Out of respect, we went along with his wishes. We were made to understand that the names have their own special meanings,” he told New Straits Times. “We believe there are hidden meanings to the names as they are spelt differently from the fruits,” he added.

The names of Muhammad Dhury Yan (after Durian) and Nur Rambutt'an (after rambutan) have since gone viral

The couple recently had their third child last month and are still waiting for a name.

Both parents were shocked to find out that pictures of the children's MyKid cards went viral

With all the positivity and laughs, negative comments and criticism also came to the family

“We’re not angry with those who shared the pictures. However, we are disappointed by the comments by some people, which have offended our family," said the father.

"What's next?1. Ahmad Tembikhai (Watermelon with the nickname Khai)2. Nur Bellimbing (Starfruit with the nickname Bell)Anything also got."

"Of course the mom and dad don't care. But when the kids enroll in school, they're gonna be bullied and teased. Pity them, they can be mentally tortured you know if they're bullied in school."

10 Unexpected Perks Of Dating A Gamer

1. You know where to find them 98% of the time, nor do you have to worry about them disappearing for hours at a time because they're usually right where you left them - in front of a screen.

Image via Jean-Paul Pelissier / Reuters

If they haven't replied your text or you haven't heard from them in a while, they're probably just preoccupied with that game they just bought or engaged in intense rounds of DOTA with their bros.

2. They have no problem with waiting for you to get ready because they are completely capable of entertaining themselves to while the time away

Image via Giphy

All the staring at slow-loading screens and awaiting the arrival of the newest game releases and game consoles have honed their level of patience. Besides, they can quell the monotony by playing a game or two while they wait. The thing is, you might have to wait for them to finish when you're finally done... ;p

3. They're pretty low maintenance :p

Image via Tumblr

When their focus is fully concentrated on completing a mission, they don't really need much to sustain them except for some food, drinks, and a toilet close by. Also, if you don't feel like going out on date night, your significant other will have no qualms about staying in, ordering pizza (or cooking pasta for two), and curling up on the couch with you for a movie/TV series marathon (or gaming together).

4. They don't demand your attention 100% of the time (for obvious reasons) and understands when you need some alone time

Image via Fox

Just like you understand that they need to be given space when they're gaming, your significant other respects your personal space and is neither possessive nor jealous when you have plans to hang out with your friends or when you just want to be on your own.

5. You don't have to worry or think too much about what you're gonna get them for their birthday, anniversaries, or Christmas

Video game-themed merch works just as well, like this 'Zelda'-inspired Triforce lamp.
Image via Mashable

Instead of buying them clothes, jewellery, or random novelty stuff that may not be to their liking, you just have to get them something that is related to their favourite game or a new game that is coming out. Just make sure they haven't pre-ordered it yet...

6. All that hammering away on consoles and nifty tinkering on keyboards means they're very, very good with their hands...

Image via Tumblr

7. Gamers are pretty much kids at heart, so you can count on them to keep the flame alive with their great sense of humour and quick wits

Image via Tumblr

You might feel a bit neglected at times, but you don't ever have to worry about your relationship going down to road of boredom because your gamer partner is always down to joke around and doing fun things together.

8. Gaming is scientifically proven to make people smarter and all the strategising they do does wonder for their problem-solving skills. In short, you'd want them on your team in times of crisis e.g. when you're stuck in an Escape Room.

Image via Experts Exchange

If you need further convincing, both the US Defense Intelligence Agency and the US Army Intelligence Center have used video games for training personnel in critical thinking skills. So their hours spent playing Minecraft, Portal or World of Warcraft are really honing their problem-solving skills... unless they use cheat codes (that doesn't count).

        goodmenproject.com

9. Having working knowledge of their computer or gaming console comes hand-in-hand with gaming, so your tech-savvy significant other's got you covered when you face technical difficulties with your tech stuff

If they set up their gaming rigs like this, you can bet they'll be able to figure out why you can't connect to the Internet.
Image via Dorkly

Chances are, when your system needs a cleaning or a check-up, they probably won’t nag you about finding someone to get that checked because they’ll know what to look for. Even if they don’t know exactly what it is, they aren’t afraid to learn and will more than likely do the research you probably should’ve done before you asked them.

        thoughtcatalog.com

10. Remember what we said about gamers being super patient? That's when you know they'll be perfect at showing you the ins and outs of gaming when you decide you'd like to try it out.

Image via Tumblr

After all, a couple who games together, stays together!

Start by brushing up on some basic gaming lingo:

                GG? FTW? RNG? WTF? What Gaming Terms Really Mean And How To Use Them Daily

Are you a n00b at understanding gaming lingo? Feel like you're pwned by all the pros? Don't worry, we'll make sure th...

Sukar Puasa Sebab Risau Kurang Susu, Jururawat Kongsi Cara Puasa Bagi Ibu 'Breastfeeding'

Bulan Ramadan iaitu antara bulan yang dinanti-nantikan oleh seluruh umat Islam

Manakan tidak, bulan Ramadan dianggap sebagai bulan yang baik untuk kita sebagai umat Islam bermuhasabah diri di samping memperbaiki perbuatan dengan memperbanyakkan amal ibadah.

Image via Islam Pos

Selain itu, ibadah berpuasa yang dilakukan setiap tahun pada bulan Ramadan ini bukan sekadar tuntutan agama bahkan boleh juga meningkatkan taraf kesihatan seseorang.Amalan berpuasa didapati boleh merehatkan dan membuang segala kotoran serta toksin dari tubuh seseorang. Bukan itu sahaja, malah berpuasa juga dipercayai menyembuhkan beberapa jenis penyakit yang melibatkan sistem penghadaman dan mengurangkan risiko sakit jantung.

Walaupun begitu, bagaimana pula dengan ibu yang sedang mengandung dan yang sedang menyusukan anak kecil?

Dalam Islam, wanita yang sedang hamil serta menyusukan bayi diharuskan untuk berbuka sekiranya dikhuatiri dengan berpuasa itu dapat memberikan kemudaratan kepada ibu dan bayi.

Image via Sirap Limau

Seorang jururawat dengan nama Bel Nawhen telah membuat satu posting di laman Facebook-nya yang berbentuk perkongsikan tentang tips berpuasa untuk mengelak masalah penghasilan susu badan akibat dehidrasi buat golongan ini.

Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Antara perkara yang merisaukan ibu dengan perjalanan menyusukan secara ekslusif dan mengikut demand adalah kekurangan susu sewaktu berpuasa.

Image via The Asian Parent

Sedangkan ada kajian telah dilakukan menunjukkan berpuasa TIDAK menyebabkan susu menjadi kurang penghasilan melainkan si ibu mengalami dehidrasi teruk. Ini kerana konsep utama breastfeeding ini adalah demand and supply. Lagi banyak demand, lagi banyak supply yang dihasilkan.Badan kita memahami demand untuk menyusu ini bila bayi kerap menyusu (8-12 kali sehari semalam). Inilah satu-satunya cara secara fisiologi (fitrah fungsi badan) yang paling penting untuk memastikan penghasilan susu yang berterusan.

Tubuh dan hormon wanita ini unik kerana secara automatik penyusuan tidak akan terganggu kerana tubuh akan melakukan penyesuaian apabila perlu terutama di bulan Ramadhan.

Image via Zuriat

Apabila kita sebagai ibu yang sedang menyusukan anak memenuhi demand dan supply yang dikehendaki, seharusnya tidak ada masalah yang akan berlaku. Bagaimana kita nak pastikan bekalan nutrisi kita mencukupi sepanjang Ramadhan dan tidak menganggu penghasilan susu kerana dehidrasi?

1. MESTI minum air secukupnya

Image via Klik Dokter

Minum air yang cukup boleh elakkan gejala dehidrasi. Dengan minum air yang cukup, proses penghadaman, pencernaan dan penghasilan susu badan akan berfungsi dengan baik.

Sebaiknya, ibu yang tengah menyusu untuk minum setiap selang masa 1 jam selepas berbuka. Jangan lupa segelas air setiap kali mahu pam susu dan selesai pam susu.

2. Ambil makanan berkarbohidrat dan protein secukupnya. Elak makanan bersumberkan tin, tinggi garam sewaktu bersahur.

Pengambilan makanan tinggi protein seperti ikan atau telur semasa sahur dan berbuka boleh mengelakkan berlakunya keadaan kurang penghasilan susu ketika berpuasa.

Image via Catatan Mini

Ibu juga digalakkan ambil makanan yang mempunyai karbohidrat kompleks seperti oat, bijirin, kekacang, pasta dan lain-lain lagi kerana ia membekalkan tenaga sepanjang hari.Mengambil makanan tinggi garam atau masin pula boleh menyebabkan anda mudah merasa dahaga dan letih kerana ternyahidrasi.

3. Gantikan amalan berbuka dengan makanan manis, berminyak, kuih-kuih kepada makanan berkhasiat

Image via Okay Doc

Ambil buahan kaya vitamin C serta sayuran berserat yang boleh bantu dalam keperluan ibu menyusu.

4. Lewatkan waktu bersahur

Image via Google

Cara ini secara logiknya akan menyebabkan ibu tidak cepat merasa lapar.

5. Pam secara konsisten dan berjadual

Image via Sirap Limau

Fisiologi penghasilan susu adalah apabila anak kerap menyusu. Ia berlaku kerana ransangan yang berlaku sewaktu anak menghisap dan memberi signal pada hormon prolaktin. Rumusnya senang, ada demand ada supply.

Ambil masa untuk mengepam untuk menghasilkan supply mencukupi. Ibu boleh teruskan waktu mengepam pada waktu siang seperti biasa dan menambah sesi mengepam di waktu malam jika perlu. Ada kajian menunjukkan hormon prolaktin dihasilkan lebih banyak pada waktu malam.

6. Kekal positif dan tetapkan mindset anda untuk memastikan susu anda tidak berkurang produksinya

Image via Job Kartel

Anda perlu positif bahawa susu anda mencukupi untuk anak anda. Dapatkan kerjasama suami sepanjang bulan Ramadhan untuk ini. Pastikan anda tidak terlalu letih dan stress agar tidak menganggu penghasilan susu.

Perlu diingat bahawa agama kita sendiri memberi keringanan untuk ibu menyusu yang cepat merasa lapar dan letih

Hal ini bagi mengelakkan ibu dan anak terjejas dari sudut kesihatan. Dalil yang menunjukkan hal ini adalah sabda Nabi SAW;

Image via imgur.com

Bahkan sebagai seorang ibu, anda boleh menilai samaada bayi anda cukup susu atau tidak melalui:Kurang membuang air (bayi baru lahir sepatutnya buang air kecil beberapa kali sehari)Air kencing yang pekat atau kekerapan tukar pampers yang kurang.Berat badan tidak bertambah. Ubun-ubun melekuk kedalam. Kulit kelihatan kering dan lidah mempunyai kesan putih.Bayi kurang aktif.

Image via Muslim Familia

Ibu perlu menilai satu demi satu keadaan samaada perlu terus berpuasa atau berbuka demi kebaikan kesihatan ibu dan anak.Menurut Imam Syafie, rukhsah puasa yakni kelonggaran untuk berbuka puasa kepada ibu menyusu (sama seperti ibu hamil) ada dua sebab:-Risau tentang keselamatan dirinyaRisau tentang keselamatan anaknya

Image via imgur.com

Ibu perlu tahu, agama tidak pernah menyusahkan kaum ibu dan sentiasa ada kelonggaran untuk itu.

Tak perlu ambil supplement tambahan atau booster melainkan atas nasihat doktor bertauliah. Jangan membazir duit.Yang penting, JANGAN tinggal sahur.

Semoga perkongsian ini memberi manfaat buat semua lebih-lebih lagi kepada ibu yang sedang menyusu!

Why This 30-Year-Old Russian Artist Is Protesting By Cutting Off His Right Earlobe

Pyotr Pavlensky, a controversial Russian performance artist and political activist who once nailed his scrotum to the cobblestones of Moscow's Red Square, sliced off his earlobe in his latest protest against the forced psychiatric treatment of dissidents in Russia

Pyotr Pavlensky cut off his right earlobe with a large kitchen knife on Sunday in a performance aptly titled "Separation."
Image via mshcdn.com

A native of St. Petersburg, Pyotr climbed naked on to the roof of Moscow's Serbsky State Scientific Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry on Sunday and cut off his right earlobe with a large kitchen knife. His performance was titled "Separation."

Staging his performance — entitled Separation — at the Serbsky State Scientific Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry, an institution which became notorious during Soviet times for declaring political dissidents as mentally ill, Pavlensky's performance was a commentary on the resurgence of corrupt psychiatric practices in contemporary Russia.

        calvertjournal.com

In a statement from Pyotr published on the Facebook page of his wife, journalist Oksana Shalygina, the artist wrote: “The knife separates the body from the earlobe. The concrete wall of psychiatry separates the sane society of the insane patients."

“By again using psychiatry for political goals, the police give themselves the power to separate the sane from the insane,” he said. “Armed with psychiatric diagnoses, the bureaucrat in a white lab coat cuts off from society those pieces that prevent him from establishing a monolithic dictate of a single, mandatory norm for everyone.”

Covered in blood, he was removed from the roof by police and taken to a Moscow hospital. Doctors thought he might also have contracted pneumonia, his lawyer, Dmitry Dinze, said on Monday.

However, Dinze told the British newspaper later that Pavlensky did not have pneumonia or more serious complications from the amputated earlobe and was expected to be discharged soon.

The Serbsky centre is infamous for giving questionable diagnoses to many of the dissidents who were confined to psychiatric wards in the USSR, The Guardian reported

The Serbsky institution was notorious in Soviet times for declaring political dissidents as mentally ill in order to quash their actions. Human rights groups contend that the practice has resurfaced in Russia after Mikhail Kosenko, a Bolotnaya Square protester, was declared insane by the institution and sentenced to indefinite psychiatric care.

Nadiya Savchenko, a Ukrainian pilot who was captured by pro-Russia separatists, is being tried for complicity in the deaths of two Russian war correspondents on charges that human rights groups have called politically motivated. She has been undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at the centre since last week.

Pyotr, who has previously sewn his mouth shut and wrapped himself in barbed wire in protests, is known for his gruesome, self-mutilating public performances

Pavlensky, who has a long history of self-mutilating protests in Russia, gained international attention in November 2013 when he undressed and nailed his scrotum to the cobblestones of Red Square as “a metaphor for the apathy, political indifference and fatalism of modern Russian society”.

        theguardian.com

In May 2013, Pavlensky wrapped himself naked inside a ring of barbed wire in front of the St. Petersburg legislative assembly. In July 2012, he sewed his mouth shut in front of Moscow’s Kazan Cathedral to protest the prosecution of the Russian punk rock group Pussy Riot.

        mashable.com

Pavlensky underwent a psychiatric examination at the Moscow hospital where he is being held on Monday and was declared sane for the third time. “The psychiatric institution is the device of exception that society cannot eliminate until it gets rid of the faith in the new demons,” Pavlensky said in the statement his wife posted to Facebook on Sunday.

Roti Tsunami, Roti Jantan, And Other Roti's That Will Change Your Mamak Trips... Forever

Even if you don't go to the mamak that often, you're probably familiar with terms like roti canai, roti telur, roti tisu and a few others, right?

Image via Malaysia Fest

Well, there's a whole new world of rotis just waiting to be discovered. Inspired by this thread on Reddit, we decided to compile a list of lesser-known roti types we came across at our local mamaks:

1. Roti Tampal

Image via _oli_ve's Instagram

Roti tampal is quite similar to roti telur, except that the egg is plastered on the outside. For more yummy goodness, order one with runny yolk (kuning cair)!

Image via naniey_hashim's Instagram

2. Roti Jantan

Image via wirdash's Instagram

Roti jantan is essentially roti telur but with two eggs instead of one, because more eggs = more MAN.

3. Roti Banjir

Image via alex_yue's Instagram

Roti canai (or roti kosong, as some people like to call it) is shredded into bite-sized pieces and then completely flooded with curry or dhal.

4. Roti Tsunami

Image via Wan / This Is Kuala Lumpur

Levelling up from roti banjir, roti tsunami is served with two soft-boiled eggs.

5. Roti Maggi

Image via singtheng / MyOpenRice

Roti maggi happens when you open up the magical roti kosong bag to discover piping hot Maggi goreng within.The roti maggi depicted in the photo above is available at Roshida Mamak Stall @ Jalan Besar, Seri Kembangan (opposite Restoran 33).

6. Roti Scrambled

Image via Eric Chee

One of Murni Discovery's many wacky 'roti' variants, roti scrambled is basically roti kosong wrapped burrito-style around a mixture of minced chicken, eggs, and sausages with mayonnaise dressing.Note: The rest of the items in this list are from Murni's eye-opening 'Roti' menu.

7. Roti Beckham

Image via JunKit

Obviously named after one of the hottest footballers of our time, roti Beckham is stuffed with tuna, eggs, cheese, and turkey slices topped with mayonnaise dressing.We have no idea how the ingredients can be associated with David Beckham though. Let us know if you have a theory. Here's a photo of the hunk for reference:

Image via H&M

8. Roti Hawaii

Image via squarepad's Instagram

Roti Hawaii is roti kosong stuffed with either minced chicken or beef, cheese, sausages, and pineapple topped with mayonnaise dressing.

9. Roti Jepun

Image via kingsley1611's Instagram

We expected wasabi to be in there somewhere but sadly, it isn't. Instead, roti Jepun is stuffed with eggs, margarine, cheese, and milk.

10. Roti Sweet Forever

Image via Murni Discovery

Yes, that's its legitimate name. Roti Sweet Forever is essentially roti kosong with bits of corn scattered within and then topped with two scoops of ice cream and a sprig of mint.

11. Roti Fujima

Image via edmeatieka's Instagram

Roti pisang is elevated to roti Fujima simply by serving it in stacks of quartered roti pisang topped with two scoops of ice cream.


10 Home Remedies To Help You Get Rid Of Mouth Ulcers

1. Salt water mixture

Image via Searchomeremedy

When the salt content around cells is greater on the outside than the inside osmosis takes place, with water being drawn from in the cells to help balance out the concentration. When water is drawn out, the painful puffiness that excess fluid can cause is diminished. If you have a canker sore that is really puffed up that keeps rubbing or that you keep biting, gargling with salt water can help greatly. This is also why salt water gargles help with a sore throat-reducing the painful swelling of the cells in the mucous membrane at the back of the throat. The warm water also produces a general sense of soothing relief, while the salt may help keep the area clean.

        everydayroots.com

2. Honey

Image via Tripadvisor

Honey can soothe ulcers as it helps retain moisture and accelerates the healing process. It also has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.Simply dip a cotton swab in honey and dab it on the affected area. You can also use glycerin or vitamin E oil in the same way. For mouth sores caused by radiation therapy, use manuka honey.

        top10homeremedies.com

3. Baking soda, also called sodium bicarbonate

Image via HuffingtonPost

Baking soda can help soothe the pain of a shallow, irritating canker sore. Your mouth's acidity can irritate the sore further and make it more painful. The properties in baking soda neutralize the acidity and soothe the pain that comes with canker sores.

        sharecare.com

Image via Wikihow

Simply create a paste by mixing baking soda with water, and apply a thin layer with a cotton swab. Not only will it soothe the pain, but it also seals in the canker sore and gives it a chance to heal.

4. Coconut milk

Common kitchen ingredients and herbs make good natural remedies to get rid of mouth ulcers but diet also plays a role in curing and preventing mouth ulcers. Get such natural and diet remedies for mouth ulcers.

        rapidhomeremedies.com

Image via Top10homeremedies

All you need to do is to mix a little honey in one tablespoon of coconut milk. Massage the affected area with it. Do this three or four times a day. Alternatively, you can simply rinse your mouth with fresh coconut milk or massage coconut oil on the affected area.

5. Plain yogurt

Yogurt is considered an excellent food for treating mouth ulcers as it helps in soothing the mouth as well as combatting bacteria responsible for this condition. Mouth ulcers are known to occur as a result of the presence of unhealthy bacteria in the mouth. Unhealthy bacteria become active when the balance of good and bad bacteria is disrupted.Yogurt is not only beneficial for treating mouth ulcers, but is also helpful for preventing its recurrence. For treating mouth ulcers, it is advisable that you aim at consuming around 200 grams of yogurt each day.

6. Aloe vera gel

Image via Diyhealthyremedy

Aloe vera is an effective natural remedy for canker sores. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and curative properties that help ease the pain and inflammation as well as speed up the healing process. Extract the gel from a fresh aloe vera leaf and apply it directly on the canker sore. Do this several times a day. Alternatively, you can rinse your mouth with fresh aloe vera juice about three or four times a day. You can also take at least two tablespoons of aloe vera gel three times a day for quick results.

        top10homeremedies.com

7. Celery

Chewing celery sticks can help relieve pain. It also contains vitamins that promote faster healing. Place the pulp of the celery stalk on the affected area for at least 10 minutes at different intervals in a day. It also keeps bad breath at bay.

        newhealthguide.org

Celery is very effective on ulcers especially if the cause of ulcer is a deficiency of iron.

        ladycarehealth.com

8. Used tea bag (preferably green or black tea)

Image via Tophealthremedies

Soak a tea bag in warm water and squeeze out most of the moisture. Apply this to the tingling spot as a compress four times per day. The experts at University of Michigan Health Services suggest that any tea bag may help, but green tea has been shown to have soothing and anti-microbial properties.

        doctoroz.com

9. Raw onions

Image via Allremedies

The antibacterial health effects of raw onion make it a natural choice for mouth ulcers. While you need to eat a considerable amount of onion for it to help your mouth ulcer, your mouth ulcer can heal in just days with this remedy. Eat 1/2 of the entire onion, chewing it on the side that is affected by the canker sore. Try to repeat this every day until the mouth ulcer is gone. If you don’t like eating onions raw, you can also put an onion through a juicer and drink raw onion juice.

        vitalhomeremedies.com

10. Tumeric or kunyit

Image via Naturalhealthtips

Apply turmeric paste to your mouth ulcer daily. Turmeric acts as a natural antiseptic and a cooling agent. Mix 3 tbsp. of turmeric powder with 1 tbsp. of water until the mixture turns into a paste. Apply the paste with a sterile cotton swab and cover the entire mouth sore. Leave in your mouth for 1 to 2 minutes and rinse well afterwards.

A Man Was Harassed For Trying To Tow An Immigration Officer's Car In Cheras

Yesterday, 20 August, a 27-year-old immigration officer was filmed refusing to have his car towed by a bank repossessor in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

The man was filmed shouting at the repossessor in Alam Damai, Cheras.
Image via Tamizha Media TV

China Press reported that two repossessors, who had authorisation letters from the bank and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNKK), approached the immigration officer yesterday to tow his car as he failed to pay back five months' worth of car loan.However, the immigration officer became suspicious of the tow request after realising that one of the repossessors had an expired permit. He then accused the repossessors of trying to resell his car after towing it away.At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether the repossessor in the video was the one holding an expired permit.

Shortly after that, the brother of the immigration officer joined him at the scene

Tamizhar Media TV reported one of the repossessors, Mr. Satya as saying that the officer's brother then tore up the authorisation letters in anger. He also pushed Satya away from the car in order to let his brother escape the scene.China Press reported that the officer's brother is a civil servant.

In an attempt to let his brother escape the scene, the civil servant got into a fighting position in front of Satya.
Image via Tamizhar Media TV/Facebook

The civil servant was about to leave in another car before Satya shouted at him

"You think we're scared (of you)? You don't have the ability to pay for the car but you still bought it!" Satya, the repossessor, was heard shouting at the civil servant.Angered by Satya's statement, the civil servant took off his shirt before charging towards Satya and hitting him.

The civil servant stripped himself in front of Satya.

The civil servant was seen charging towards Satya before hitting him.

The brothers have since been detained by the police

According to China Press, the brothers are being investigated under Section 323 and 506 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation.

Registered repossessors are required to adhere to KPDNKK's code of ethics

The requirements include:- The number of repossessors must be minimised unless circumstances warrant any additional assistance.- Repossessors should only enter premises with the knowledge and consent of the occupant.- Repossessors should be well-mannered and dressed decently to ensure professionalism and dignity in carrying out their work.- The use of "strong arm tactics" is strictly prohibited in carrying out their work.- At the time of repossession, hirers should be notified of the address and telephone numbers of the authorised bank officers, and given reasonable time to inspect vehicles and remove their personal belongings.

Calls To Befrienders KL 24-Hour Helpline Have More Than Doubled In Recent Years

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

In a report released by New Straits Times (NST), Befrienders KL stated that there has been a staggering increase in calls made to their helpline

Befrienders KL has garnered support and widespread attention for being one of Malaysia's most notable mental health care service providers. A non-profit organisation that supplies emotional support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they particularly cater to individuals who are lonely, distressed, in despair, and have suicidal thoughts (without charge).Yet from 2015 to last year, the number of contacts made to their 24-hour helpline has more than doubled, from 21,256 to 44,408, according to the data shared by the organisation themselves.Subsequently, there has also been an extensive increase in number of calls received by the helpline annually, rising from 2,000 to 6,000, with the daily number growing from 55 to 122 calls a day.

For illustration purposes only.

Executive Director of Befrienders KL, Kenny Lim, stated that the increase in calls go as far back as 10 years ago, rising more so during the MCO period

According to the report by NST, 40,509 calls with about 111 received daily were recorded in 2020, with the numbers increasing to 44,408 calls with 122 daily in 2021.The top three issues raised were mental health related, making up 31% of the calls. Family issues weighed out at 12%, while relationship issues stood at 11%. The remainder involved social difficulties and job woes, among others."Some 33 per cent of the callers have expressed suicidal ideation or have attempted to end their lives before. But the reason for someone to feel suicidal normally comes from a combination of different factors, which can make one feel helpless and hopeless," said Kenny to NST.

Kenny also told NST that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also heightened the suicidal contrivance. "There were those who were afraid of contracting COVID-19, some who had lost their family members to the virus, and lost their jobs due to the pandemic." He voiced that some people with pre-existing mental disorders worried about travel restrictions, wondering if they could go out and get treatment. Some needed support for their anxiety, as they could not meet their friends, while others who were cooped up with family members ended up arguing with one another."At the same time, there were also those who were alone and could not visit their families and they experienced loneliness. These situations were the opposite ends of the spectrum," according to Kenny.

Nonetheless, there is no time limit as to how long each caller could remain on the line with their trained volunteer

Lim stated that Befrienders' role is ultimately to be there for callers during this time of crisis, "This is so they have someone to talk to and convince them out of their intention."However, Lim also expressed that suicidal tendencies will come back, and for those who are severely struggling with these thoughts, to seek professional help. "There are psychiatrists that give out our number as their patients just need someone to talk to. For those who are highly suicidal, we invite them to call us any time they want."

Ensuring a more committed action to the cause, Befrienders KL is always seeking to recruit more volunteers to join their pool of 125 contributors

The current contributors to the non-profit dedicate about three hours of their time every week, alongside a once-a-month overnight duty. According to Kenny, Befrienders KL is always looking out to boost the number of volunteers, to substantiate at least two to three people on duty at a time, "The more volunteers we have, the more callers will be attended to."Kenny stated that while no paper qualification is required to join Befrienders KL, volunteers have to be patient with callers, as they may be with some callers for an hour. Prospective volunteers will have to attend an eight-day training session, which will revolve around topics such as active listening, self-awareness, grief, depression, and suicide."Volunteers have to be non-judgemental as we must have full acceptance of our caller, regardless of who they are and what they do. Whoever calls us, we will listen to them."

People Actually Wear These Flag-Themed Underwear In Public

Nine cheeky Australians made headlines over the weekend when they were arrested for stripping down to their Jalur Gemilang-themed briefs at the F1 Grand Prix in Sepang

Image via Associated Press
