The Facebook caption read: "I happen to pass by this area in Bukit Bintang and I saw this irresponsible act that can literally cause injury to that poor baby. Why is the authority allowing such act to be showcase to public. These street performer needs to be arrested! Please do something."

Onlookers were seen standing around to watch the act, while some even took out their phones to record the performance

"People are cheering for him to stop but he just pretended like nothing happened. And police? They're everywhere. But no one bothered hence I share this," the man wrote.A written sign was placed in front of the Caucasians that appeared to be begging for money to travel.

Lambung bayi demi duit

HANYA kerana mahu menagih simpati orang ramai, seorang lelaki pelancong asing sanggup melambung bayi dipercayai anaknya sendiri ketika mengemis di Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.

Malah, video perbuatan berbahaya pelancong itu berjaya dirakam salah seorang lelaki yang kemudian dikongsi dalam akaun Facebook miliknya, semalam.

Menerusi rakaman video berdurasi selama satu minit 26 saat itu, pelancong warga asing, berkulit putih, dilihat menghayun serta melambung seorang bayi yang dipegang di bahagian kaki beberapa kali.

Turut bersama lelaki itu, seorang lagi lelaki dan dua wanita yang sedang bermain muzik.

Biarpun menerusi rakaman itu bayi berkenaan kelihatan teruja dan gembira, bagaimanapun ia dikhuatiri mendatangkan kecederaan selain salah satu bentuk eksploitasi yang melanggar undang-undang.

Menurut pemilik akaun Facebook bernama Zayl Chia Abdullah, kejadian dirakam ketika dia berada di Bukit Bintang.

Lelaki berkenaan yang memegang bayi bersama seorang lagi lelaki dan dua wanita dikatakan sedang melakukan pertunjukan bagi menagih simpati orang ramai bagi mengutip derma.

“I happen to pass by this area in Bukit Bintang and I saw this irresponsible act that can literally causes injury to that poor baby (Saya kebetulan melalui kawasan Bukit Bintang dan terlihat tindakan tidak bertanggungjawab yang boleh menyebabkan kecederaan terhadap bayi itu).

“Why is the authority allowing such act to be showcase to public. These street performer needs to be arrested! Please do something. (Mengapa pihak berkuasa membenarkan tindakan itu dipertontonkan kepada umum. Penghibur jalanan itu sepatutnya ditahan! Tolong berbuat sesuatu)," katanya menerusi hantaran yang dimuat naik di akaun Facebook miliknya itu.

Sementara itu, menurut satu portal, tindakan kumpulan pelancong asing itu bagi mengutip wang untuk membiayai pelancongan mereka yang masuk ke negara ini sebagai 'backpakers'.

Sementara itu, tinjauan di laman sosial mendapati kebanyakan netizen mengecam tindakan berkenaan dan meminta supaya pihak berkuasa memantau kumpulan pelancong berkenaan yang dilihat mengeksploitasi anak mereka sendiri bagi tujuan meraih simpati.

Kebanyakan mereka mendakwa tindakan itu bukan sahaja berbahaya kepada fizikal bayi berkenaan sebaliknya boleh mendatangkan kecederaan dalaman termasuk kepada perkembangan otak bayi yang dikhuatiri mengalami gangguan.

Menurut mereka, tindakan menghayun itu sesuatu yang tidak boleh diterima dalam masyarakat.

People Are Calling Out The Education Minister After He Was Appointed President Of IIUM

Education Minister Dr. Maszlee Malik was appointed president of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) yesterday, 4 September

Malaysiakini reported that Maszlee became an academic at the university earlier this year before being elected as the Education Minister.

His appointment contradicts not only Pakatan Harapan's election manifesto, but also a speech he made months ago

In its election manifesto, Pakatan Harapan pledged to restore academic freedom in universities by "granting autonomy to these public institutions of higher learning". Moreover, Maszlee told New Straits Times in June that tertiary institutions will not be abused for political motives."We will never control and dictate to them (the universities) nor force them (to do anything). We really want the universities to enjoy their autonomy and cultivate academic freedom in their territory," Maszlee was quoted as saying by New Straits Times.

Maszlee's new appointment has drawn criticism from politicians

Former UMNO Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin as criticising Maszlee's appointment despite Pakatan Harapan's pledge to uphold academic freedom in tertiary institutions."I suggest Maszlee to reject his appointment as IIUM president. There are more work to be done as the Education Minister," Khairy wrote in a tweet earlier today.

Saya cadangkan @maszlee menolak pelantikan diri sendiri sebagai Presiden Universiti Islam Antarabangsa @IIUMOnline. Banyak lagi kerja perlu dibuat sebagai Menteri Pendidikan Malaysia.— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) September 5, 2018

Former Menteri Besar of Johor Datuk Khaled Nordin also commented on Maszlee's appointment."Why is this minister playing favourites with just one university? Does he have so much time to take care of this!" he wrote on Twitter.

Ini apa hal menteri nak pilih kasih kepada satu universiti sahaja, ada byk masa ke nak jaga!!! pic.twitter.com/6cBp9HGPWp— Khaled Nordin (@khalednordin) September 5, 2018

Malaysiakini reported Democratic Action Party (DAP) assemblyperson Lim Yi Wei as urging Maszlee to relinquish his post as well. "As the highest-ranked politician in the Education Ministry, holding the highest position in a university is a clear conflict of interest," she said."Whether the president's role is executive or non-executive is immaterial. We should not be breaking our manifesto by using loopholes," she added.

Netizens also weighed in on Maszlee's appointment, calling for his resignation from the university

“We will neither control and dictate to them (the universities) nor force them (to do anything). We really want the universities to enjoy their autonomy and cultivate academic freedom in their territory.” - Maszlee Malik, June 7, 2018 https://t.co/44WPJis78n— Stevie Chan, Esq. (@tapaimalaya) September 4, 2018

This is an insult to people who voted this govt in & gave @maszlee the benefit of the doubt. Forget about his lies about university 'autonomy'. Isn't the education ministry's portfolio massive & important enough? Why take up another major job? Isn't a minister's salary enough? https://t.co/i2mdvwBT7o— Dr. Alicia Izharuddin  (@AIiciaIz) September 5, 2018

Minister of edu @maszlee IIUM President , political secretary jadi board member, @wansaiful special advisor to Minister jadi PTPTN's chairman....so what should we call this? Malaysia baru?— Wan Agyl Wan Hassan (@WanAgyl) September 5, 2018

BN Pledges To Pay For 100 Couples' Wedding Every Year In Its FT Manifesto

Barisan Nasional's Federal Territories division has promised to provide mass weddings for up to 100 couples every year, as revealed in its GE14 manifesto yesterday, 22 April

Image via Asyraf Hamzah / New Straits Times

The manifesto was unveiled by BN FT chairman Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor at the Putra World Trade Centre.

Tengku Adnan, who will be contesting to retain his seat in Putrajaya, was met with loud applause when he announced the free wedding initiative during the launch

Image via Dailymail

"We will also provide one set each of wedding attire for the bride and groom," the lawmaker said as quoted by The Straits Times.  Selected low-income couples will also be given financial aid of RM500 and new clothes, Malaysiakini reported.

Building on the theme "Aspirasi Rakyat, Agenda Kami" (The People's Aspiration, Our Agenda), other promises in the manifesto include jobs for 100,000 youths, providing RM10 million in education funds for Federal Territories residents, and building more than 200,000 units of affordable housing

Image via MYNEWSHUB

Malay Mail reported that BN will ensure at least 30% of business premises in Kuala Lumpur are with Bumiputeras, in addition to organising internationally recognised events in Labuan to help drive development there.

For the River of Life regeneration project, BN also promised to provide a water taxi service and adding 30km of covered pedestrian walkways around the city

Image via theSun

The River of Life (ROL) project was initiated in 2011 to restore the eight major rivers in the Klang Valley, including the Klang and Gombak rivers in the city, to transform them into rivers with economic and commercial value.

Tengku Adnan admitted yesterday that BN may have gone overboard with putting up party posters:

Sinovac Recipients Now Have Until 31 March To Get Booster Jabs Or They'll Lose Vaxx Status

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

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has extended the deadline for Sinovac vaccine recipients and senior citizens to get their booster jabs to 31 March before their fully vaccinated status expires

All adults who have been double-vaccinated with Sinovac as well as all fully inoculated senior citizens — regardless of vaccine — are required to get boosted or their status in the MySejahtera App will change to "not fully vaccinated".Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin made the announcement yesterday, 24 February, during a live-streamed press conference.Starting 1 April, without the fully vaccinated status, individuals will not be able to enter a wide range of premises including shopping malls, restaurants, cinemas, and supermarkets.

The MySejahtera fully vaccinated status of Sinovac recipients and all senior citizens who have not received their booster shots by 1 April 2022 will turn from yellow to white.
Image via MySejahtera via SAYS

Initially, MOH asked Sinovac recipients to get booster jabs of either Pfizer or AstraZeneca

Now, however, individuals who insist on getting Sinovac are able to choose the same make for their booster. It is currently offered at all offsite vaccination centres (PPVs) under ProtectHealth, the list of which can be found on their website.The recommendation to get either Pfizer or AstraZeneca booster jabs was made because the Sinovac booster is found to be not as effective against the Omicron variant.

[COMPARISON] PCA VS ISA, Same Same Or Different?

The clocked was stopped when Parliament passed the Prevention of Crime Act (PCA) on 3 October 2013

Prevention of Crime Act (PCA) which was passed by parliament at 12.50am on Thursday after the clock was "stopped" to enable the debates to go on. This is the fourth time in Malaysian history that Parliament had to "stop" the clock to allow lawmakers to debate.

        themalaysianinsider.com

New crime-prevention legislation that critics say would allow detention without trial for years was passed by Malaysian lawmakers early on Thursday, and immediately slammed by opposition figures and human-rights activists as a strengthening of Prime Minister Najib Razak’s increasingly authoritarian administration.

        time.com

Opposition are strongly against it, fearing that PCA is a rehash of the Internal Security Act (ISA)

“The fear is that the government may use this law against undesirable elements in the political sense rather than the criminal sense,” Kamaruddin Jaafar, an opposition MP.

        time.com

Opposition are strongly against it, fearing that PCA is a rehash of the Internal Security Act (ISA)

Image via wp.com

The amendments include detention without trial, restrictions on judial reviews, secrecy provisions and recital of Article 149 in the preamble, which the opposition claims is inconsistent with basic human rights guaranteed in the Federal Constitution.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Although the government may argue the amendments will only target organised crime, it is almost certain from the government’s appalling track record on the use of oppressive laws like the ISA, Sedition Act and Peaceful Assembly Act – the PCA will be misused against opposition politicians, dissidents and civil society activists," Paulsen said in a statement last night.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The ruling party gave their promise that it will not be manipulated to be used against political opponents

Home Ministry Ahmad Zahid said this was part of Putrajaya's transformation programme whereby power is transferred from the minister to the board.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Najib said a key difference is that while the ISA vested large authority in the Home Minister and police to make arrests without due court process, under the amended Act, a judge will make the decision.

        asianewsnet.net

"The government is guaranteeing that it will not be manipulated to be used against political opponents," he added.

MyBurgerLab Raises 'Red Flag' And Takes 5-Day Mental Health Break For Its Staff

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

For many, the pandemic has taken a huge toll on mental health

In June, Malaysia recorded at least four suicide cases a day within the first three months of this year alone. Based on data from Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the figure is said to be more than half of the total reported cases in 2020. Quoted by The Star, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah warned that if depression is not addressed in individuals, many continue to face the risk of suicidal behaviour.

To care for its employees' mental well-being during these turbulent times, myBurgerLab has decided to take a five-day break beginning 26 July

In a Facebook post today, 15 July, the company announced that all stores will temporarily close for five days to raise a Mental Health Awareness  Red Flag.The local burger joint's co-founder, Renyi Chin, reveals that since the start of the first Movement Control Order (MCO), the team faced challenges and worked hard to come up with solutions to stay alive, which helped them barely scrape by 2020.

Image via myBurgerLab

"We then entered 2021 full of hope and renewed vigor. The team was ready to conquer the new post-Covid world. Or so we thought," he pens, adding that they continued to make plans and hope for better days

"However, here we are today, staring at 11k cases, with the National Recovery Plan dictating that no dine-in will happen until phase three and god knows how far away that is.""Honestly, we are mentally defeated. For the last 483 days since MCO1.0 started, we persevered and held on, but enough is enough. In the last five to six weeks, we observed cracks within our organisation. Even the toughest of us find it hard to hold our heads up on the best of days."

Image via @myburgerlab (Instagram)

He details how each team battled their own challenges, from working around changing standard operating procedures (SOPs) to managing expectations of thousands of impatient riders and customers, all while 'dodging' COVID-19 cases

"For 483 days, the Marketing and PR team, worked tirelessly to attend to all social media interactions, create fun and relevant content, address PR disasters, and are constantly on the phone fielding queries everyday-day-and-night.""For 483 days, the Central Kitchen worked every day to ensure the stores have a constant supply of high-quality ingredients to meet the sales demand. They too are constantly seeking and negotiating with different suppliers as ingredient prices soar or go out of stock due to lockdowns."

Image via myBurgerLab (Facebook)

Aside from that, he explains that the Human Resources (HR) team has had to navigate staff shortage issues, mental health issues among some employees, as well as dealing with "rogue enforcement trying to find issues with [its] Geeks (a term used for myBurgerLab's employees) while working or going past roadblocks"."For 483 days, the Finance team had to worry about payments being made and salary being issued on time. Every month, depending on the SOP and market sentiments, it's like playing Russian Roulette when it comes to the PnL (profit and loss)."

The co-founder shares that though they are lucky enough to remain open during this pandemic, it has still taken a toll on the team's mental state

"We are all thrown into a pressure cooker with no release valve. From a business perspective, during lockdowns, without dine-in as an option, all sales through our delivery partners mean that we are channeling all profits to them due to the commission structure. Not blaming anyone, but we are not built for this 'lockdown' model."All this has led to the burger joint's decision as a team to close for five days this month. This is so that every Geek, "from Store Operations to Central Kitchen to HQ Support level, [will] have a decent break since the pandemic began on 18th March 2020"."Let's forget about profitability and hustle culture for a moment."

			What good is profit/breakeven if our team suffers long-term emotional damage from pushing too hard just to 'stay alive'.
        Renyi Chin, co-founder of myBurgerLab

He agrees that though this is not a long-term solution, it's the least that can be done in the midst of all the craziness going on

"We will also be taking time during this period to reassess how we will be moving forward as a company when it comes to taking care of our Geeks mental well-being in a post-Covid world.""Some might say: 'Wow, you can afford to close when others want to open.'""Here's my answer: 'It's not that we can afford to close. It's that we can't afford to lose our people.'"

All myBurgerLab outlets will shut temporarily from 26 July to 30 July.
Leading up to its Mental Health Closure Week, you may continue to support them directly by ordering from their website.

Or head to any of their branches located in the following areas:- Bangsar- Cyberjaya- MyTown- OUG- Seapark- Sunway

Back in 1980, when Jack Ma was a teenager he met a Newcastle boy named David Morley in the tourist area of scenic Hangzhou

There, they played Frisbee and went on to become pen pals.

David's father, Ken Morley, a socialist, took young Ma under his wing and five years later invited him to their New South Wales home

Ken and his wife, Judy, opened Jack's eyes to the world beyond China.They helped subsidise his cost of living at Hangzhou Teachers College and also contributed USD22,000 to the purchase of newlywed Jack's first home.

Ken went on to become an influential figure in Jack's life, something the Chinese billionaire acknowledges. He has returned to Newcastle to see the Ken family several times since his first trip.

Ken Morley, who was a Newcastle electrical engineer, became Jack's friend, teacher and mentor. He instilled core values and a global perspective that positively impacted Jack Ma's future and contributed to his personal success.Jack and Ken remained close friends until Ken's death in 2004.

Decades later, Jack Ma is now honouring the Morleys' friendship and generosity in ways that truly shows his attitude of gratitude

This week, he formalised one of the biggest philanthropic handouts to an Australian university, a USD20 million commitment to fund The Ma & Morley Scholarship Program at the University of Newcastle.The establishment of the scholarship was announced by the University of Newcastle on Friday. It's being funded by Alibaba founder, Jack Ma, through the Jack Ma Foundation.

The significance and importance of the scholarship can be realised from the fact that Ma himself travelled to Newcastle to announce the scholarship program in a ceremony late Friday afternoon

"To honour the experience and the special relationship I formed with the Morley family, the Jack Ma Foundation is delighted to announce The Ma & Morley Scholarship Program that will inspire, educate and cultivate tomorrow's leaders," Jack said.In its first year, The Ma & Morley Scholarship Program will support 30 scholarships, 20 of which will support students throughout their degrees, and 10 one-off scholarships to support educational exchanges, internships or immersion activities.When the program reaches full capacity, it will support 90 students per year.

Ken Morley's family was represented at the scholarship announcement by his son David, who works as a yoga teacher

"Dad would be extremely proud of Jack's commitment to making a difference to students in our hometown, and so touched that their close friendship has led to this program," David said, adding that the Morley family were very happy to see Ma honouring their father's egalitarian values.

Today's War-Torn Syria Was Once Upon A Time So Beautiful, It Was A Tourist Hotspot

You probably know Syria as a country going through the worst humanitarian crisis in modern times with millions of Syrians trying to flee their war-torn country, often with tragic consequences...

This here is the city of Kobanî in the Aleppo Governorate in northern Syria. From September 2014 to January 2015, the city was under siege by ISIL. Most of the city was destroyed and most of the population fled to Turkey in search for a better life. Prior to the Syrian Civil War, Kobanî had a population of close to 45,000.These pictures below show the devastation war has caused to the place.

And with the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS), things are only getting worse for the people of Syria, with the terror group capturing new territories and expanding outside of its stronghold in Syria and Iraq

Displaced by the conflict in Syria, millions have sought refuge in camps in Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon.

However, as The Citizen, a digital newspaper based in India, notes, Syria, despite having had a politically unstable past, was not always the war-torn state that people were desperately running away from.
These images from Syria in the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s, that paint a very different picture to the bloody and violent country that Syria is today, show how beautiful the country was once upon a time...

In fact, Syria was so beautiful, it was a tourist hotspot. In this photo, two Saudi tourists drink beer at an outdoor cafe overlooking the city, Damascus, Syria, 1996.

Palmyra, which has fallen to the Islamic State, was till recently a hotbed of tourism. In this photo, tourists walk in the historical city of Palmyra, 30 September 2010.

In 2010, before the civil war broke out, 8.5 million tourists visited Syria. In this photo, a group of tourists dance in front of the Temple of Bel at the historical city of Palmyra.

Once upon a time, women were a part of everyday life in Syria:

In fact, this is how Damascus in the 1960s looked:

These images, which contrast sharply with the modern, grisly images streaming out from the nationwide crackdown on social media sites, provide a window into life as it was in the Syrian capital.

Mula-Mula Diberi Barang Percuma, Akhirnya Kad Kredit Ayah Saya Dicaj RM3,988 Lepas Ditipu

Pernah atau tidak ketika anda berjalan di dalam shopping mall, anda terserempak dengan sekumpulan individu yang sedang menjual barang atau memberi barangan percuma kepada anda?

Itulah yang terjadi kepada kedua-dua orang tua pengguna Facebook, Norhaliza Mohd Nor di sebuah shopping mall di Damansara, dua hari lalu.Dia menceritakan bagaimana ibu bapanya telah ditipu sekumpulan manusia yang pada awalnya hanya memberi barang percuma kepada kedua-dua orang tuanya itu dan akhirnya berjaya menelan wang sejumlah RM3,988 melalui kad kredit bapanya.

Baca kisah penuh kejadian tersebut di bawah:

So this is the story...Dipendekkan cerita...Kedua ibubapa saya telah ditipu oleh sekumpulan manusia di Tesco Mutiara Damansara petang semalam. Mulanya, dihulurkan beg grocery yang kononnya diberikan percuma. Pastu dijemput kedua ibubapa saya duduk sbb kononnya penerima beg percuma tu kena tulis nama. Haaa... time ni lah dengan cepatnya ibubapa saya ditipu oleh sekumpulan manusia ni.1) Mereka tunjukkan satu set vacuum cleaner yang dijual. Kedua ibubapa saya kata mereka tak nak beli sebab dah ada dah vacuum cleaner di rumah.2) Kemudian salah seorang salesgirl (dikenali dengan nama "Bella") memberikan satu gadget kepada ibu saya. Ibu saya disuruh menekan pada skrin di gadget tersebut. Gadget yg sama diberi kepada ayah saya, dan disuruh untuk lakukan yang sama. Lo and behold! Ayah saya telah memenangi 2 barang percuma - 1) Vacuum cleaner yang dikatakan bernilai RM3,680 dan 2) Microwave yang dikatakan bernilai RM3,988.3) Ayah saya diberikan gadget tersebut untuk menekan sekali lagi. Kali ini ayah saya mendapat bonus sebanyak RM100, yang sekaligus melayakkan ayah saya mendapat sebuah water dispenser yang boleh digunakan secara percuma selama 3 bulan. Kalau berminat, Julai nanti baru mula bayar sebanyak RM80 sebulan selama 48 bulan.

        facebook.com

Saya mengambil gambar dokumen2 yang telah diberi kepada ayah saya sementara menunggu tuan supervisor tiba. Di sebelah saya adalah salah seorang daripada dua salesgirls di situ.

4) Kemudian ayah saya ditanya samada beliau ada memiliki apa2 kad kredit. Terus terang kat sini saya pun tak faham macamana ayah saya boleh keluarkan walletnya. Si Bella tadi ternampak kad kredit HSBC dan terus mengambil dari tangan ayah saya. Seorang lagi salesgirl bertanya kepada ayah saya, sudah berapa lama kad kredit HSBC itu digunakan kerana menurut mereka, kalau lebih daripada 2 tahun, ayah saya layak mendapat satu multi-cooker secara percuma. Wah! Percuma lagi!5) Entah bila masa kad tu di"swipe" pun tak tahulah. Tiba2 ayah saya diberikan beberapa dokumen untuk ditandatangani. Frankly speaking, for a 74-year old yang tak pernah guna kad kredit untuk beli barang2, bila diserahkan dokumen2 tu, it didn't register in my dad's mind that payment has taken place. Aduiii! Bila pulang ke rumah, dan meneliti terma2 dalam dokumen tersebut barulah ayah saya sedari bahawa dirinya telah ditipu dan wang sejumlah RM3,988 telah dicaj ke kad kreditnya.6) Saya dan suami bergegas pulang dari sekolah anak bongsu dan terus ke Tesco Mutiara Damansara untuk "fight" untuk ayah saya yang juga telah pulang semula ke Tesco untuk minta duitnya dikembalikan.

        facebook.com

"Bella" menelefon supervisornya untuk turun berjumpa kami.
Image via Norhaliza Mohd Nor/Facebook

Tiba saja di sana, Norhaliza meminta supaya wang ayahnya dikembalikan. Bagaimanapun, supervisor kepada kumpulan tersebut tetap enggan untuk memulangkannya.

7) Tiba di sana, kami segera meminta supaya keseluruhan transaksi dibatalkan dan wang ayah saya dipulangkan. Kami bertegas bahawa mereka telah mengelirukan ayah saya dan telah menipunya. Si Bella ni tadi menelefon supaya supervisornya turun untuk berjumpa kami. Wah.. macam samseng rupa si supervisor ni. Kami terus bertegas dengan supervisor untuk kensel transaksi dan pulangkan duit ayah saya. Supervisor enggan kerana katanya ayah saya telah faham semua terma dan telah tandatangani dokumen2 yang diberikan.8) Kami tetap bertegas bahawa ayah saya telah ditipu (misled) dan mereka telah menipu ayah saya. Tiada disebut ayah saya perlu membayar atau membeli apa2 tetapi wang telah diambil.Berlakulah insiden jerit-menjerit selepas itu sehingga saya sendiri menggigil kerana terlalu marah. Tak heran dah dengan orang keliling. Ayah saya telah ditipu dan saya takkan sesekali membiarkan manusia2 ni terlepas begitu sahaja.9) Encik suami membuat beberapa panggilan dan memaklumkan kepada saya. Sebelum kami beredar, saya sebut kepada si Bella "wait for the authorities to come". Dia hanya senyum kepada saya, seolah2 mereka telah menang, dan kami telah kalah.10) Pulang ke rumah dan setelah berbincang dengan semua adik beradik saya, kami bersetuju bahawa satu laporan polis perlu dibuat kerana kami mungkin telah dan akan menyebabkan kesusahan kepada kumpulan manusia ini. Kami khuatir kedua ibubapa saya akan menghadapi apa2 komplikasi kerana alamat rumah sbgnya ada pada kumpulan manusia ini. Selepas maghrib, saya dan suami pun ke balai polis Taman Tun Dr Ismail bersama ayah untuk membuat laporan polis.(huhu.. nak pendekkan cerita, tapi dah jadi panjang pulak! )

        facebook.com

Supervisor dan "Bella" yang bertegas bahawa mereka telah menerangkan segalanya kepada ayah saya. Walhalnya mereka telah menipu dengan bercerita tentang yang percuma sahaja. Tidak disebut langsung tentang sebarang pembelian.   Eiii... masih boleh ingat waktu ni. Saya menggigil kemarahan. Bila keluar perkataan "bullshit" daripada mulut saya, supervisor tu bukan main marah seolah2 perkataan tu a four-letter word. Grrrr!!!!
Image via Norhaliza Mohd Nor/Facebook

Pagi tadi, kami dimaklumkan bahawa pihak KPDNKK telah pergi petang semalam juga dengan membuat penyamaran. Dipendekkan lagi cerita, mereka telah ditahan dan akan didakwa. ALHAMDULILLAH! Baru rasa puas hati saya. Mengambil kesempatan kepada warga emas untuk kesenangan hidup sendiri. Memang pantang tok nenek la kan!! Oh.. lupa nak cerita. Selepas ayah saya menandatangani dokumen2 yang diberi, mereka seolah2 begitu gembira. Siap suruh ayah saya belanja mereka makan lagi! Dan lagi sekali saya tak faham di sini bagaimana dengan mudah ibubapa saya bersetuju untuk belanja pulut durian, pulut mangga, siap dengan air minum lagi. Ada la dalam RM50 jugak untuk semua mereka tu. Adakah kedua ibubapa saya telah dipukau? Wallahu a'lam.Moral of the story - Elakkan mengambil apa2 yang dihulurkan secara percuma. Sorry to all guys who are honest. Tapi disebabkan oleh manusia2 macam ni, saya semakin tidak percaya kepada sesiapa yang cuba nak beri apa2 secara percuma. There is no such thing as free gifts. Mesti ada "catch"nya. Tambah2 masa zaman ekonomi meleset seperti sekarang.Sekian, terima kasih.

Hijabi Appears On Adult Site Ad To Promote Her Sex Education Book For Married Women

Indonesian Instagram celebrity Citra Ayu Mustika has sparked a controversy among netizens with an advertisement for her book, 'Uncensored', that appeared in an online adult shop

Citra, who wears a hijab, was featured in a web banner on Asmaraku.com showcasing a promotional bundle which included her book, a box of condoms, and a bonus "joy kit", a mystery gift for those who buy her book through the website, as reported by The Star.

The advertisement is captioned with a quote taken from Citra's book, "My hobby is travelling. His body is my favorite destination."

The website further describes her book as a "guide for 'solehot' wives", which according to Malay Mail, is a wordplay on both the words 'solehah' (pious woman) and 'hot'.

Her followers, mostly young mothers, have praised Citra for openly highlighting such controversial topics, as well as appearing in an advertisement featuring condoms.
Many of her fans have also defended Citra by slamming her critics online.

Replying to a privatised tweet, this Twitter user wrote, "I am annoyed. This is not about hijabi women or halal condoms. She is an Instagram celebrity who has shared many things about breastfeeding and the sex lives of new parents.""This is a bold move for hijabi mothers. For your information, that is her own photo, her book, and her tagline.""And besides, is there anything wrong with a hijabi woman in a condom ad? Aren't we allowed to buy contraceptives?" she added.

Ih gemes. Ini bukan framing mbak2 hijab/kondom halal.Dia @/olevelove, selebgram yg banyak share ttg ASI & pegiat(?) kehidupan seksual suami istri stlh punya anak.Bold move sih sbg ibu-ibu berhijab ya.Fyi, itu foto dia sendiri + bukunya + tagline-nya. https://t.co/kT6jdnx9NY— J Jasmine (@juliajasminee) November 10, 2019

Meanwhile, in praise of her book, this Twitter user said, "After I got married, I bought her e-book. I related to the early chapters so much that I started to cry while reading. Why doesn't anyone talk about how complicated marriage life is? It is a good read on sex education for marriage."She then recommend those who just got married to read her book.

Abis nikah, aku beli ebooknya.Baca bab awal nangis saking relate nya. Smp mikir, kok gak ada yg cerita hdp pasca pernikahan se complicated ini, walau blm mengalami mengASI hi dan sex after babies tp bacaan soal sex edu after marriage, gmn hidup awal pernikahan wajib baca bukunya— ELVA (@elvavee) November 10, 2019

"This is a person who has done much for young mothers. Especially in the topic of postnatal sex. This is awesome. She is so brave," said another thankful Twitter user.

Ini orang yang berjasa buat ibu muda yang baru mau memperjuangkan asi sih. Berjasa juga bahas masalah sex pasca melahirkan. Keren mbak citra ini. Berani banget dia. — mrs lovegood (@simbakmamah) November 10, 2019


The Government Does Not Know What To Do With Struggling MAS

Malaysia's National Carrier Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Has Signalled That It May Need Another Financial Rescue As It Struggles To Make A Profit

March 26 — Even before the loss of its Flight MH370, Malaysia Airline System (MAS) was bleeding cash, prompting talk that it may need another financial rescue from state investor Khazanah Nasional Bhd, its majority shareholder.

        themalaymailonline.com

MAS, Southeast Asia’s fourth-largest airline by market value, has had negative operating cash flow for three years - which means it is not generating enough cash to meet its day-to-day operating costs - and has had negative free cash flow - operating cash flow minus capital expenditure - for six years.

        themalaymailonline.com

On 8 May 2014, Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz Revealed That The Government Will Not Provide Anymore Financial Support For MAS

Bad news continues to pile up for Malaysia Airlines (MAS), with Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz ruling out any financial support for the ailing national carrier.

        therakyatpost.com

Nazri Aziz Says The Government Is At A Loss Over What To Do With MAS, "To Inject New Capital Is Certainly Not An Option."

Gulf News reported Nazri as saying that the government is at a loss over what to do with MAS, the fourth largest Southeast Asia carrier, which has been struggling in a competitive environment, even before MH370 clipped its wings further.

        malaysiakini.com

"To inject new capital is certainly not an option," he had said at a tourism fair in Dubai.

Nazri Aziz Refused To Divulge Whether The Government Is Still Confident In MAS' Senior Management

The news website also reported that Mohamed Nazri said the Transport Minister will be tasked with determining the government’s plan for the national carrier. Senior management at the airline could also be on the chopping block.

        therakyatpost.com

“Mohamed Nazri was unwilling to comment as to whether the airlines senior management still has the support of the government. Its chief executive, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, was hired in 2011 and has been directed to turn the airline around. However, it is unclear if the government could move to oust in following the backlash on flight MH370,” Gulfnews wrote.

MAS CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya Had Previously Admitted That MAS Would Need At Least 6 Months To Recover From Market Reputation Issues Following The MH370 Incident

Despite a 27 percent improvement in passenger traffic in 2013, the national carrier not only failed to turn a profit but more than doubled losses from the previous year. It suffered a net loss of RM1.2 billion.

        malaysiakini.com

Last month, MAS chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya (right) noted that an airline would need at least six months to recover from a market reputation issue after MH370, but stressed that MAS would do it sooner.

You Don't Have To Be A Kid To Go Crazy Over These Edible LEGO Bricks

LEGO has this distinct hard-to-hate effect on adults. We look at something made out of LEGO and we instantly turn into kids again. Like this guy who build himself a LEGO car.

Image via TheAdaptors

Fred Flinstone should've made his a LEGO car.

The LEGO car is cool and all but more recently, someone else has come up with yet another LEGO 'invention'

Image via Youtube

Grant Thompson, a Youtuber nicknamed "The King Of Random" has blessed us with a simple recipe of edible LEGO bricks so you won't have to clear them out after playtime...

Yummy!
Image via Boredpanda

Everyone loves Lego bricks. Everyone loves gummy bears. So why not combine the two to make gummy Lego bricks that you can eat and build stuff with? Grant Thompson shows you how a few simple ingredients and a little bit of creativity can make fun gummy Lego bricks that are both better than gummy bears and Lego bricks by themselves.

        gizmodo.com

YOU CAN EAT THEM ALL

Image via Youtube

The steps are relatively simple and there are only 3 ingredients!

Image via Boredpanda

You would also want to buy a LEGO mould. With this, you get powers from the LEGO gods above to make LEGO ice cubes too.

Image via www.youtube.com

All you need to do next is to cook the ingredients in slow heat and carefully pour into the mould

Image via Youtube

The coolest part is you can actually stack them like real LEGO toys! Why didn't we have this as kids?!

20 Things You’ll Relate To If You Have Way Too Many Black Clothes

There are two types of people in the world - those who wear colour and those who don’t. If you're reading this story, then we're guessing you fall in the latter category.

Image via The Atlantic

While wearing black is cool and all, the habit comes with its own set of "issues" as well:

1. The lint roller is your best friend

Image via SAYS

A big shout out to the legendary RM3.50 BÄSTIS lint roller from Ikea.

2. Finding that specific shade of black in your closet can be quite a daunting task

Image via Pinterest

Time to enter the darkness.

3. But you still get dressed faster than everyone else because you only have one colour to choose from

Image via Giphy

4. People get freaked out if you show up to work in a different colour

Image via Narvii

"Is that... a navy blue shirt?! ARE YOU OK?!"

5. Doing laundry is a breeze

Image via Mixmix

Separate laundry? Ain't nobody got time for that, bruh.

6. When your different shades of black don't match

Image via QuickMeme

So depressing.

7. Yes, people. Black is not just black, there are other shades too!

Image via Pinterest

Just because they look the same, doesn't mean they're the same. #mindblown

8. You can't stop buying the same item in black

Image via Uniqlo

Confession: I have 20 (or more) of the same black t-shirt from Uniqlo. Don't judge.

9. Online shopping has never been easier

Image via SAYS

If it doesn't come in black, forget it.

10. When your favourite piece of black clothing starts to fade...

Image via Giphy

The end is nigh.

11. When CNY is almost here and you panic because you can't wear black to the Reunion Dinner

Image via MetalSucks

The only time you'd consider buying something of another colour.

12. You have to deal with irritating comments

Image via Feed Fad

Expect comments at family gatherings encouraging you to “liven up your wardrobe."

13. You get mistaken as a sales assistant from time to time

Image via Metro UK

True story.

14. Nobody will realise you wear the same t-shirt/pants for days because all your clothes are the same anyways

Image via iStock

Heh.

15. You feel very smug in the knowledge that if you spill something on yourself, it's not really noticeable

Image via wikiHow

Can you see the stain? No? Neither can I.

16. You live by this quote:

Image via Tumblr

17. It's not just your clothes that are black

Image via Pinterest

18. People say you're boring, but you're just "consistent"

Image via Giphy

Get your facts right.

19. People have stopped making jokes about how you could be going to a funeral or being an emo

Image via Giphy

Your jokes are getting old.

20. You melt in the sun on hot days, but you're already used to that anyway

Image via Twitter

Worth it.

Grab Is Laying Off 1,000 Employees Of Its Total Workforce

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

Grab is cutting 1,000 jobs, its chief executive officer (CEO) Anthony Tan said in a letter sent to employees late on Tuesday, 20 June

The move will affect about 11% of its total workforce.It's not clear if the job cut affects Grab employees globally. The company operates in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.The layoff announcement comes months after the ride-hailing and food-delivery app said it had no plans for mass layoffs. Grab's last job cuts were in 2020, when 360 people, or 5% of its then-workforce, were laid off, citing the economic impact due to the pandemic.The Singapore-based company had 11,934 staff as of the end of 2022, including about 2,000 from its acquisition of grocery chain Jaya Grocer last year, according to its latest annual report.

In the letter, Tan said the cuts were not "a shortcut to profitability" but a strategic reorganisation to adapt to the business environment

"I want to be clear that we are not doing this as a shortcut to profitability," Tan wrote, while calling the "restructuring" a "painful but necessary step"."Change has never been this fast. Technology such as Generative AI (artificial intelligence) is evolving at breakneck speed. The cost of capital has gone up, directly impacting the competitive landscape. We must combine our scale with nimble execution and cost leadership, so that we can sustainably offer even more affordable services and deepen our penetration of the masses," he wrote in the letter, according to Reuters."The primary goal of this exercise is to strategically reorganise ourselves so that we can move faster, work smarter, and rebalance our resources across our portfolio in line with our longer-term strategies," he added.The company is on track to break even this year even without the layoffs, Tan said.

Police Have Arrested Owners Of Unlicensed Beauty Salon In Cheras After Death Of Client

Police have arrested two owners of a beauty salon in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, 18 October, over the death of a 23-year-old client

According to The Star, Kuala Lumpur police chief DCP Datuk Saiful Azly Kamaruddin said the suspects, who are a mother and daughter pair, have been detained to assist in the investigation of a customer who passed away while under a fat reduction procedure at their centre.The police chief told a press conference at the Sentul police headquarters today, 19 October, that the victim lost consciousness after being injected on the arm."The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital and died soon after. We are still ascertaining the cause of death," he said.

Although the post-mortem examination of the victim has been done, toxicology results have yet to return to determine her cause of death

Saiful Azly added that the beauty salon did have a business licence but the beauticians themselves did not have medical licences to conduct any invasive cosmetic procedures.According to China Press, the beautician told the police that she had explained to the client, who came to her for an arm liposuction procedure in preparation for her wedding, that she was not a professional but the latter said to continue on with the procedure.

The victim, Coco Siew, was planning to get married next year.
Image via China Press

The 49-year-old and 23-year-old suspects will be kept in remand for three days

The case is being investigated under Section 304 of the Penal Code for causing death by negligence, not amounting to culpable homicide.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (MSPRS) are reminding the public that beauticians are not allowed and are not qualified to perform any medical or surgical procedures

The society of plastic surgeons, part of the Aesthetic Public Awareness Campaign (APAC) Joint Committee, posted a statement on Facebook warning of unscrupulous beauty centres and 'medispas' that are becoming more common and who often promote themselves on social media."They may disguise themselves as medical doctors or use fancy medical terms to entice their clients to do the procedures," warned the committee, adding that these centres or individuals will offer a remarkably lower price for its procedures than licensed medical clinics or hospitals."Higher complication rates and even death have been reported in these unlicensed practices," it reminded."It is crucial to check on the invasiveness, risk involved, premise license, and service provider qualification before undergoing any aesthetic procedure."It urged the public to the check the Ministry of Health's medical practitioner registry for if their practitioners are licensed to offer medical aesthetic services in the future.

The 23-year-old bride-to-be died after finding the Cheras beauty salon on the Internet and paid RM2,500 for her liposuction procedure:

Melalui laman web rasmi Royal Television Society, juri berpendapat wawancara bersama Najib menonjolkan contoh ”keberanian, ketabahan dan kebolehpercayaan yang tidak dapat dilihat.””Walaupun ceritanya memberi tumpuan kepada isu yang sedikit diketahui sebelum wawancara, ini tidak mengurangkan kemampuan penonton untuk memahami apa yang dilakukan oleh orang yang diwawancara,” katanya lagi.

Image via Twitter @asrulmm

Bukan itu sahaja, juri turut berpendapat pendekatan penemubual adalah menarik, pengetahuannya sangat tinggi dan keupayaannya untuk menggabungkan kesemuanya agak luar biasa.

Dalam wawancara tersebut, DS Najib telah menimbulkan kontroversi dengan bertindak keluar ketika siaran selepas didesak dengan pelbagai soalan ‘panas’ oleh penemubual Mary Ann Jolley

Dalam rakaman tersebut, beliau telah meminta Jolley mengemukakan soalan berkaitan ekonomi negara tetapi apabila dia melakukan sebaliknya, DS Najib bertindak berdiri dan meminta untuk keluar dalam keadaan marah.

Image via Twitter @asrulmm

DS Najib akhirnya duduk semula tetapi apabila berterusan diajukan soalan lain, beliau akhirnya bertindak untuk terus keluar daripada wawancara berkenaan. Namun, beliau telah meminta maaf dan akan menerima sebarang permintaan daripada Al-Jazeera untuk temubual lain.

A Child Dropped His Phone Into A Pit Toilet. His Father Died Trying To Get It Back

A child recently dropped his mobile phone into a pit toilet in Taiyuan city of Shanxi province, China

The pit toilet was located in the boy's family home.
Image via Xuehua

Seehua Online reported that the boy notified his father of the incident, who then attempted to recover the mobile phone from the three-metre deep pit toilet on the next day, 24 July.

The father never resurfaced from the pit. Hence, the boy's uncle jumped into it as well in an attempt to save his brother.

Oriental Daily reported that none of the men came back up. This prompted the boy's family to make a police report to save the brothers from the pit.Police found that the three-metre deep pit toilet held faeces up to two metres.

Rescuers deployed a faecal suction truck and an excavator to break down the walls of the pit toilet and extract the trapped men

One of the victims was seen covered in faeces after being rescued from the pit toilet.
Image via On.cc

However, the men were found dead upon being rescued. They are believed to be poisoned by sewer gas, and lost consciousness in the pit.Prolonged exposure to sewer gas causes breathing difficulties and heart paralysis, which may lead to death.

On the other side of China, employees were recently found eating food out of urinals:

Public Toilets Are Disgusting Because Malaysians Don't Value Other Users, Dr M Says

How many times have you walked into a public restroom and regretted your decision immediately?

Image via Giphy

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad feels the same way

At the launch of Civic Education on 13 August, Dr Mahathir said, "I feel very embarrassed when I inspect public toilets in Malaysia. Most of the time, they are filthy and stinking," reported Free Malaysia Today.

According to Dr Mahathir, the cleanliness of public toilets reflect the state of civic-mindedness among the people

He added that toilets in other countries are cleaner because people value the rights of other users."It's because they feel they have a responsibility and appreciate the public perception of them. As such, they will keep themselves clean and will not do anything that dirties the toilets," as reported by The Star.The prime minister cited Japan as a model for high levels of civic consciousness. He told The Star, "The children will fold the food wrapper and only throw it in waste baskets or bins by the roadside."

Dr Mahathir believes that civic education will mould Malaysians to be more responsible, concerned, and considerate

He told New Straits Times, "It is not only our children who need to be civic minded, but teachers as well, as they will be able to absorb these values."The subject was re-introduced to schools in June and has been incorporated into Bahasa Melayu, English, Islamic Education, Moral Education, and History.According to Asia One, Dr Mahathir said "With its people being civic-minded, Malaysia will be progressive and clean and will be looked upon well by the world."
