It pretty much looks like what you would expect a Japanese-inspired spa to look like.You'll find a lot of wood furniture pieces, complemented with other natural materials such as stone. The atmosphere is complete with soft lighting and ambient music.

As the name suggests, the spa's must-try service is its onsen bath, which leaves you feeling fresh and rejuvenated after

No need to fear stripping down in front of strangers, as Urban Retreat offers single-person onsen bath tubs in private rooms.Women get a round onsen tub, while the men's version is similar to a typical bathtub.According to Urban Retreat's website, the tubs are imported from Japan to ensure the "same experience as soaking in an authentic Onsen in Japan".

More than just onsen baths, Urban Retreat has a whole 'menu' of relaxations services that include massages and full body scrubs

Their full list of services include:- Onsen Escape (RM149 for 60 minutes),- Body Scrub and Wraps (RM209 for 60 minutes),- Body Massages (from RM109 for 30mins), and- Weekday Packages (from RM269 for two hours).Find the full menu here.

What we loved most about the experience was how every detail could be personalised — even down to the focal points of one's massage

The staff will patiently guide you through the different options available to fully personalise your experience, by explaining the uses and intended effects of each onsen salt, body scrub, and massage oil.For the onsen soak, there are three salts to choose from: kirei for beauty, iyashi for healing, and zen for calmness. Customers who are new to the onsen experience are encouraged to choose the 40ºC water temperature, though the more experienced ones can try the "pro-level" 42ºC.If you're here for a body scrub: there are over seven different body scrubs available, all of which are rice-based. Among the scrubs available include Hinoki Mandarin Rice, charcoal, vanilla citrus, and walnut beranium.

Speaking of massages: their massage beds are heated for that extra oomph

If you're here as a pair, you can also choose to have your massage conducted together in a two-bed parlour. Some of the massage rooms come with a shower, which helps if you're taking one of the multi-hour day packages that combine multiple services.

Lastly, the customer service is top-notch — you'll be treated to refreshing drinks and snacks in between services!

What You Shouldn't Wear And 10 Other Things To Know Before Attending A Chinese Wedding

Compared to Malay weddings, attending a Chinese wedding can be a little more complicated as there are certain traditions and superstitions that may come into play

Image via Instagram @lovemamacat

To help you navigate through one without - to put it simply - offending anyone, here are some things to take note of:

Disclaimer: The observance of some traditions and superstitions presented in this article may vary according to each individual family's beliefs and cultural upbringing.

1. A typical Chinese wedding day is divided into two parts - the wedding ceremony during the day, and a wedding banquet in the evening

Firecrackers are let off upon the groom's arrival.

The wedding ceremony starts very early in the morning when the groom and his entourage arrives at the bride's parents' house to pick up his bride. Here's where things can get pretty amusing as the bridesmaids try to "prevent" the groom from seeing his bride with a series of light-hearted games. Once the groom has accomplished all the tasks set out for him and/or bought his way in with some "li shi" (lucky money in a red packet) for the bridesmaids, he'll finally get to see his bride!

The bridal couple will then proceed to the groom's house, where ceremonial prayers are performed before commencing with the tea ceremony, an official ritual to formally introduce the newlyweds to each other's family. During the ceremony, the newlyweds serve tea to their senior relatives, hand out "li shi" to the younger ones, and pose for some photos with the guests. When everything is settled on the groom's side, the bridal entourage will travel back to the bride's side for another tea ceremony with the bride's family. With all the back-and-forth involved, the wedding ceremony can last well into late afternoon.  Note: In some cases, the tea ceremony is done at the bridal residence right after the groom picks up the bride before going over to the groom's.

The wedding ceremony is usually witnessed by family members and close friends. If that is the case, you are only required to attend one the ceremonies depending on which side you are related to, unless you are a part of the bridal convoy.

However, the newlyweds' family will probably welcome any acquaintances who wish to observe the wedding ceremony. Just be sure to inform the newlyweds or the person who gave you the invite before doing so.

2. Most of the time, the wedding invite you receive will most likely just require your presence at the wedding banquet, which usually begins between 7.00pm to 8.00pm and can last for more than 2 hours

Image via Crafty Farms

In the event that the wedded couple are exchanging their vows in a church, you might be invited to the ceremony as well.

3. Chinese wedding banquets are typically 8-course dinners held in restaurants, hotel ballrooms, country clubs, or community halls where there are limited tables and seats available, so only bring along your partner or family members if it is indicated on the invitation card

Image via Instagram @insideoutsidemarquee

For example, if the invitation card only states your name, it is best if you do not bring along any company unless you have cleared it with the host.Also, do RSVP your attendance alongside your accompanying guests' (if applicable) if it is indicated on the card to prevent any unwanted surprises for the host on the day of the banquet.

4. Dress formally and decently (and make sure it's stretchable enough to allow for easy movement and the inevitable food baby). Avoid wearing white and black as these colours symbolise mourning and death.

Image via Instagram @tiara_tequilla_leeyi_lai

For the ladies, evening gowns or cocktail dresses work fine. Guys, a button-down shirt and long trousers with a pair of nice shoes will do, although you go for a suit and tie if you wish. Just don't come in a shabby T-shirt or jeans and sneakers...Wedding coming up in a few days? Don't worry, you won't have to scour the mall for something to wear when you can shop online at Zalora for great fashion. We have great deals at our SAYS coupon page that allows you to shop to your heart's content!

5. You are expected to bring an angpow as a wedding token for the newlyweds. The amount depends on the "market rate", which differs based on how close you are to the newlyweds and their family, as well as how many people you bring to the reception

Image via Lelong.com.my

The "market rate" also depends on where the dinner reception is held i.e. how fancy the venue is or which area/state it is held in. Currently, the rate stands at an average of RM80 to RM120 per person, but do check with friends and family who are attending the same wedding as you are if you're unsure. As business-like as this may seem, wedding cash tokens are seen as a way for the newlyweds to cover the cost for their wedding celebrations. Seeing as you are also required to write your name on the angpow, it is said that the newlyweds will use that as a point of reference on how much they give to you when you get married - if you're not married, that is.

6. Come with an empty stomach, as you are expected to at least all 8 dishes during the dinner

Image via sixthseal.com

However, do bring along some light snacks and a fully-charged power bank as Chinese wedding banquets tend to start later than the stipulated time. #truestory #malaysiantiming

7. Once you've arrived, check in with the guest ushers or, if there aren't any, parents of the newlyweds. Congratulate them on the happy occasion and hand over the angpow while you're doing so.

Image via Instagram @kazba0924

You will then be asked to take a seat with assurances that the dinner will start soon. If you're not the type who's comfortable with sitting down for a long time, feel free to walk around and mingle with the relatives and friends. Take loads of pictures and fully utilise the photo booth if there is one!

8. Besides a lot of food and a free-flow of drinks, expect to be thoroughly entertained during the dinner. While some may opt for pre-hired bands or performers, most weddings also allocate time slots for dance-offs and impromptu karaoke sessions.

Image via Interscope Records

Just don't expect Maroon 5 to make a surprise appearance. :p

9. Follow the Master of Ceremony's lead at all times, especially when he announces the bride's arrival and conducts the toast ('yum seng')

Image via Instagram @yukscck

When the bride finally makes her entrance, the MC will tell you when to stand up (just before she enters the hall) and sit back down (when she reaches the main table). During the toast, which is usually conducted mid-dinner, just follow the MC's lead e.g. standing up and holding up your glass while shouting 'yum seng!' at least 3 times. It can get pretty loud, but it's one of the highlights of the event!

10. You are expected to stay until the end of the dinner a.k.a. after all 8 dishes have been served. It is actually considered impolite to leave in the middle of the reception.

Image via Singapore Brides

However, if you really, really need to leave, make sure you toast the couple or take a picture with the newlyweds when they make their photo rounds after the 'yum seng' session.

11. Before leaving, make sure to thank and congratulate the newlyweds, who are usually already at the door to bid farewell to their guests along with their parents

Image via Yin Photography

BONUS: In the event that you are unable to attend the wedding of a close friend or family member, you are expected to gift a small wedding token (angpow) as a show of support. The amount is entirely up to you.

These Cafes' Mind-Blowing New Drinks Are A Must-Try If You're Obsessed With Milo

Every hardcore fan knows there's an unspoken code to making the perfect cup of Milo. For one thing, your tablespoon almost always looks like this:

You've probably had Milo every way possible - kaw, O, Dinosaur, Godzilla. Just name it, you've tried it!

You even know the more obscure ones!

Well, you've probably never had Milo in these ways! Inspired by Malaysia Day, these awesome cafes in the Klang Valley are serving up some pretty cool reinventions of our favourite childhood drink.

Each cafe is serving up 3 new school twists on this old school drink, and they're all interesting in their own way!

Combining the flavours of Milo with other classic desserts and drinks, these were some of the most unique ones we've tried:

1. Milo cold brew & sago gula melaka
Location: WhupWhup, Subang Jaya

Our favourite childhood drink is all grown up! Named Milo Sejiwa, this chic concoction combines Milo with sago gula melaka-inspired flavours. Interestingly, the Milo is steeped overnight to really bring out its chocolate-y taste, and it's topped with a whipped coconut foam and subtly sweetened with some gula melaka and toasted coconut flakes.The drink ends on a sweet note with some delectable pandan sago at the bottom of the drink.Outlet Information:Address: WhupWhup, 12, Jalan SS 13/3B, Subang JayaOpening Hours: 11am - 10pm (Wednesday - Sunday) Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays Contact: +603 5612 6250Get more info on Facebook | Instagram

2. Milo & peanut butter strawberry milkshake

Location: Frisky Goat, TTDI

This TTDI cafe is serving up three eclectic milkshakes, one of which is this PB Strawberry & Milo Milkshake. The milkshake - a brave combination of Milo, peanut butter and strawberry sauce - is topped with Chantilly cream and slices of fresh strawberries.

Image via SAYS

As bizarre as it sounds, the flavours actually complement each other well and a sip gives you a decadent blend of nuttiness from the peanut butter, richness from the Milo and a hint of tartness from the strawberries.Outlet Information:Address: Frisky Goat, 72, Jalan Burhanudin Helmi, Taman Tun Dr IsmailOpening Hours: 8am - 10.30pm (daily)Contact: +603 7731 2965Get more info on: Facebook

3 Epic Road Trips Done By Malaysians Who Literally Went The Extra Mile

We all dream about going on an epic road trip at least once in our lives

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Be it a trip from Kangar to Johor Bahru, or one around New Zealand - epic road trips like these are what we sometimes dream of doing. All it takes is some intense planning, servicing your car, get the oil changed, and you can start driving!

While most of us may still be stuck at the dreaming or planning phase, these guys have already gone on the road trip of their lives:

1. The family who drove all the way from UK back to Malaysia

Image via By Road To Malaysia

Jamalullail Ismail and his family drove a total of 25,500km across more than 20 countries to come home to Malaysia, just in time for Hari Raya. They started their journey in Sunderland, UK, and ended it in Kedah after 155 days.The family travelled in a motorhome equipped with a toilet, mini kitchen, and beds enough for the six of them. According to Jamalullail, they tried to stop at every 322km to visit museums and information centres so the children could learn more about the local culture and lifestyle. The trip was also meant to be an educational one for his homeschooling children.

Image via By Road To Malaysia / Facebook

Sofinee Harun, Jamalullail's wife, said that they've been dreaming of going on this road trip for years. They decided that 2014 is the best year to do so as it will not affect their children's education plans. "There are many questions that come from them (the children), of course. Among those questions are "How are we going to be able to travel?" "How are we going to manage financially?" "How long is the journey going to take?" All sorts of questions which even me and my dear husband will not be able to answer fully yet," she wrote on the family's blog.

Image via By Road To Malaysia / Facebook

The drive was not always a smooth one, the family said. They experienced difficulty obtaining permission to enter certain countries, however, the Malaysian embassies there did their best to assist them. Jamalullail said that they were robbed twice in Iran, and almost became kidnap victims.

Image via By Road To Malaysia / Facebook

When asked about her feelings after completing the journey, Sofinee said, "I think it's blur at the moment... We're really overwhelmed with the amount of support we receive from everybody around the world!" The family are thankful that they managed to complete the trip safe and sound, and are grateful for all the support they received along the way from the locals and netizens back home.

2. A group of friends who drove for 12 days around New Zealand in campervan

  A post shared by Ahmad Faris (@fungusinthemilk) on Nov 6, 2016 at 4:42pm PST

Ahmad Faris, Aman Ruzaini, Munir Muhammad, Shah Azman, Ana Abu, and Firdaus Hashim went on a 12-day road trip, driving from Auckland to Milford Sound. The group, who called themselves Fantaguana, filmed their trip and uploaded it as a 15-episode travel vlog on Tapau.tv.They rented a campervan that could fit six adults comfortably and took turns driving throughout the trip. According to Aman, they must have driven for more than 3,000km.

  A post shared by Ahmad Faris (@fungusinthemilk) on Nov 13, 2016 at 3:50pm PST

Faris mentioned in the videos that travelling in a campervan has always been his dream. He loves the idea of driving with friends and to be able to stop whenever and wherever they want to on the trip. New Zealand, to him, is the perfect place to do so.He also mentioned that he felt thankful to be able to travel with this group of friends as they share the same interests and mindset. They planned and organised the trip together: each person did their own research on the attractions that they want to visit, the type of campervan to rent, as well as the holiday parks where they can park and spend the night.

  A post shared by Ana Abu (@anaabu) on Nov 15, 2016 at 11:32am PST

The group experienced a 7.8-magnitude earthquake when they were in the South Island of New Zealand. Fortunately, none of them were injured as they were far from Kaikoura town, where the quake hit. "I think the biggest challenge was dealing with the cracked road, which resulted from the earthquake. We received a stern warning from a local telling us to be very careful when driving on the road," Aman said.

  A post shared by Ahmad Faris (@fungusinthemilk) on Nov 17, 2016 at 10:44pm PST

Overall, the team had a lot of fun despite some minor accidents (Firdaus' drone crashed when he was flying it over Lake Pukaki). We're pretty sure the group will be embarking on a new adventure again soon.

3. The Malaysian family who converted their old van into a moving family holiday home and mobile café

Image via Kas & Yng / Instagram

It's not exactly a campervan, but Kas and Yng still managed to transform their old van into a beautiful motorhome for their family road trips. Kas and Yng will sometimes take the weekend off, pack their bags, and drive their family to various parts of Malaysia for a short getaway. You can check out the beautiful places they've been to on their Instagram account.

  A post shared by Kas & Yng (@ourdatsunc20) on Sep 23, 2016 at 6:28pm PDT

To make it more homely, they had the backseats removed so they can create space for a little bench and mini desk for the kids. There's also enough space for them to fit a small sofa or bean bag, so it looks like a moving living room.One of the memorable road trips that Kas remembers is when they spent New Year's Eve at Teluk Senangin in Perak. The family spent a peaceful night there, camping in their van, enjoying the sound of waves crashing on the beach.

  A post shared by Kas & Yng (@ourdatsunc20) on Nov 5, 2016 at 2:29am PDT

Sometimes, Kas and Yng also transform their campervan into a mobile café. They run this little side business whenever they can, selling coffee, soft drinks, and snacks from their little holiday home.

These Malaysians drive to explore new places, what do you drive for?

Most of us drive to get to work, but there are some who drive because they enjoy doing so. There are people who enjoy the drive up to Genting Highlands because we love the thrill of navigating along the winding roads; and there are those who just love to drive on long road trips as it gives them a sense of freedom.

We Love How This Uncle's Pokémon Toys Are Selling Like Hot Cakes In Uptown PJ

For the last one week or so, the HSBC Bank at Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya has been a crowded spot.
No, the bank is not giving out any free money or gifts.

Image via SAYS

People from all walks of life have been gathering in front of the bank, taking up the space of the pathway.

Image via SAYS

Take a peek into the crowd and you'll see a man seated there with a bunch of cute little Pokémon toys.

This elderly man is none other than Uncle David, a toy peddler

Image via SAYS

Those who are constantly in the area would recognise Uncle David as he has been selling toys here for more than a year.  In some ways, Uncle David is a superstar in his own way because a lot of people from Klang, Puchong, Shah Alam and other areas in the Klang Valley have been making their way to find Uncle David and his Pokémon toys as they have been a real hit recently.

Image via SAYS

The ongoing Pokémon Go craze has definitely benefitted Uncle David who has been struggling to make ends meet for the last two months

Some of the plushies that our colleagues bought from Uncle David.
Image via Vanessa Lim/SAYS

Speaking to SAYS, Uncle David explained how it has been difficult to persuade people to buy his toys, especially for the past couple of months. He couldn't even sell 50 toys in a week.

The elderly man was diagnosed with leukaemia in March 2015. The doctor said that he only had about six months to live.

Admittedly when the doctor first broke the news to him, he felt extremely down but months have passed and Uncle David is well on the road to recovery now. The chemotherapy sessions have been taxing for his body, so Uncle David could not afford to drive and has been relying on public transportation. The hardworking man would take three trains and two buses to make his way from his house in Pandan Perdana, Cheras to Damansara Utama.  He used to walk around everywhere in Klang Valley, from Subang to Sri Hartamas to Paramount Garden until he was offered to sell the toys in front of HSBC due to his health condition that makes it difficult for him to walk for long periods of time.  Despite these challenges, Uncle David never gave up and kept going. Now, the tables have turned as he easily sells off 300 toys in just a matter of hours, every day, for the past few days. It is a case of more demand than supply now.

Uncle David attributed this sudden spike in his business to a kindhearted man who posted a photo of him on social media

Image via Domo Sam

An employee from JeffLee The Hair Company (Damansara Utama branch) took a photo of Uncle David and his toys and uploaded it on social media on 1 September. The photo came with a caption written in Mandarin that reads, "Those who like playing Pokémon Go, don't waste your time playing that game. Come to the HSBC Bank at Uptown PJ and find this uncle who sells Pokémon dolls for RM10 each. Donate to him as he has cancer, and you can get your beloved Pokémon too." The post instantly went viral and has received more than 24,000 likes and 18,000 shares so far. The effect on the sales was also almost instant; a simple Facebook post injected life back into Uncle David's business that was dwindling. Now, even his suppliers are telling him that his business is better than some of the retail outlets.

Many of Uncle David's customers often wonder why he sells each toy at only RM10 when other retailers are selling them for up to RM25 each

Image via SAYS

"People often ask me why I sell these toys at such a cheap price. I have been doing this for so many years, this is a big 'thank you' for those who have been supporting me. This is an income for me but at the same time, this gives people the opportunity to buy them (the toys) cheap," Uncle David said.  When people approach Uncle David to donate a sum of money to him instead of buying the toys, Uncle David would always insist that they buy the toys and donate them to make someone happy. "Some people don’t buy but they still come up to me and say, 'Uncle, how are you?'. That means they still care. Some also come up to me and say, 'Uncle, I'm sorry I cannot help you because I lost my job.' People are facing their own difficulties. We thank God we still got something to do."

It's great to see that Uncle David's business is picking up again after all the hardship the man had to endure in the recent years

Image via SAYS

Uncle David revealed that someone had tried to tempt him with money by asking him to push for drugs and firearms but as a man of principle, he did not give a second thought to it after he refused the man for the first time. There was also an incident recently where people took some of the toys without paying.

"Everybody must work hard, be honest and have moral. Whether you are selling things, a taxi driver, or a reporter, it's about honest living," he said.

Throughout the last 15 years as a toy peddler, in some way or another, Uncle David managed to pull through and had enough to treat his condition and support his son's studies. Though he is heavy-hearted to be separated temporarily with his son, he is glad that his beloved son has the opportunity to study engineering in the US under a scholarship. He also believes that he will be fully well again as he undergoes his final chemotherapy session this month.


A McDonald's Employee Put Everything On Hold To Help This Handicapped Customer

Earlier on 17 September, a Chicago resident named Destiny Carreno stopped by her local McDonald's at Union Station after work.
What Destiny witnessed inside moved her to tears.
While waiting in the order line, she noticed a worker helping to feed a old man in a wheelchair who needed assistance.

Image via Destiny Carreno/FB

Destiny uploaded the moving photo on her Facebook profile, which, at the time of writing this story, has gone viral.
It has been shared by over 275,000 people.

Image via Destiny Carreno/FB

She explained the story behind the photo in her post:

Today I made a quick stop at McDonald's after work. As I waited in line to order, an elderly handicapped gentleman wheeled himself over to the cashier in front of me. From what I perceived, the gentleman may have had a case of quadriplegia, the same medical condition my uncle has.The man politely tried to ask the cashier something and it took him a few tries before either of us could understand he was saying "Help me please". Neither of us knew what help he needed, and the cashier suggested a few things before he figured out the gentleman needed help cutting and eating his meal. To be honest, I thought the cashier wasn't going to help, especially during rush hour in downtown Chicago, but to my shock, he shut down his register and disappeared from view....Not to get away from helping him, but to wash his hands and put gloves on! I had to stick around and see how this would play out, especially since it hit me so close to home with my own uncle. The cashier came out from the kitchen, sat down, and began cutting the man's meal and helped him eat.At that point, the tears started to gather in my eyes. My heart was so appreciative for what he did. I couldn't contain my emotions in the crowded restaurant. This employee, who put everything on hold for this man, went above and beyond his responsibilities to help this handicapped customer out. That was the kindest and most humble thing I had ever seen.

Well done, Kenny the cashier! Well done!

Someone Dumped A 2-Week-Old Dead Baby In A Garbage Bin In Puchong

Earlier this week, a garbage collector found a dead baby while separating the rubbish in the garbage compactor truck at Taman Mutiara Indah in Puchong

Image via Facebook

According to a viral post, the dead baby was found wrapped in a blanket and was wearing netted  clothes

Image via Facebook

A report in Sinar Harian said that the baby was found dead inside the garbage bin that was being unloaded on the truck

According to the report, it was around 8am on Tuesday when the dead baby was found inside a rubbish bin in front of a shop near Jalan Mutiara 1/1.

Immediately after the baby was found, people on the scene called the Subang Jaya police and the area was cordoned off

Posted by 我要紅 on Tuesday, 4 July 2017

Subang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohammad Azlin Sadari said the baby was about two weeks old

He added that the police are trying to identify the suspects who dumped the baby.

Seeing how baby dumping is not a rare phenomenon in Malaysia, this amazing group is doing everything to give a safe heaven to the forgotten children, despite religious hatred and brickbats from others in society:

What Would Make These Google Employees Offer Someone 'A Giant F*** You'

Two Google Engineers Recently Took To Google+ To Give Blistering Public Critiques Of The Ongoing NSA Surveillance Scandal

The revelations that the NSA has seemingly managed to infiltrate and spy upon individuals are bad enough for most of us, but some members of the Google tech team that work specifically on how to keep hackers out of its system are really none too pleased.

        businessinsider.com.au

Writing in a post yesterday, and reported by The Desk today, Google account security employee Mike Hearn expressed his displeasure at the news that the NSA had managed to circumvent security in place designed to stop people from intercepting data and breaking into their systems.

        theregister.co.uk

The Leaks Show That NSA And GCHQ Tapped Into The Cables That Linked Google And Yahoo Data Centres Outside The US And Scooped Up Data Flowing Through Them

Hearn and Brandon Downey, who are engineers at Google, have written on their Google+ page that tactics used by NSA and GCHQ make them very angry.

“The packet capture shown in these new NSA slides shows internal database replication traffic for the anti-hacking system I worked on for over two years,” Hearn wrote.

        thenextweb.com

“We designed this system to keep criminals out . There’s no ambiguity here. The warrant system with skeptical judges, paths for appeal, and rules of evidence was built from centuries of hard won experience [...] Bypassing that system is illegal for a good reason.”

        independent.co.uk

"F*ck these guys," wrote Downey, who is a network security engineer. Hearn, who works on user account security, added Wednesday, "I now join (Downey) in issuing a giant F*ck You to the (NSA and GCHQ) people."

This 20-Year-Old Malaysian Prodigy Was Accepted Into 10 Prestigious Universities In The US

Most people would be lucky to get into one university of choice, let alone 10.
Well, meet Yugendran Rajaendran, who achieved the unthinkable.

Image via Miera Zulyana/Malay Mail

Hailing from Klang, the 20-year-old recently captured the attention of Malaysians after receiving acceptance offers from 10 top tier universities in the US

He had his pick of Yale, Columbia, and New York University, among other prestigious universities. However, the prodigy student has chosen to head to Stanford University in California come late August.There, Yugendran will be pursuing a degree in Bioengineering and Mathematical and Computational Science.

Image via Epsom College MY/YouTube

Yugendran is no stranger to academic success as he had achieved 11A+ for his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations and is predicted to received five A* for his A-levels

The young adult has always had an aptitude for learning. This is evident from the time he spent as an inquisitive child sitting alongside his siblings as they completed their homework, or when he mastered the art of percentages by the age of four.

Image via Miera Zulyana/Malay Mail

As he approached Form 5, Yugendran remembers trying to figure out what it was he actually wanted to do in life.The fresh graduate of Epsom College, where he attended on a full scholarship, told SAYS he was always fairly certain that he would dedicate his time to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).Living with four older sisters, three of whom are in the medical field, one might have expected Yugendran to follow a similar path. However, the soon-to-be Stanford student told us that while contributing to Malaysia's healthcare and economic sectors will always be a goal of his, he is also fascinated by the versatility of bioengineering and data science.

He hopes that an education at Stanford will not only grow his knowledge in these areas of interests, but eventually allow him to give back to Malaysia

When we asked why Stanford was his number one choice, Yugendran said, "I always knew I wanted to do something related to technology, entrepreneurship, medicine, and mathematics. Stanford is the only university that is leading is all the fields.""The state-of-the-art bioengineering facilities, partnership with many leading tech companies in Silicon Valley, [and] research and developments in the field of medicine and pharmaceutics are the main reasons I chose Stanford over other top universities," he explained.

Having interned with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Pantai Hospital in the past, Yugendran has witnessed our public healthcare sector firsthand, and foresees himself devoting his life to policymaking alongside cancer and stem cell research in Malaysia

Speaking about his experiences working with local health professionals, the math whiz expressed, "In my opinion, the Malaysian public healthcare sector is one of the best in the world. The dedication and proactiveness (of medical professionals) is something I admire."We were astonished with how clearly Yugendran envisioned his future. During the interview with us, Yugendran relayed that he was determined to work with the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide affordable and accessible healthcare to all, then with Khazanah Nasional to aid in healthcare investment, and finally with the MOH to shape public policies.

Coming from a humble family background, with his father working year-round as a motorcycle mechanic in Kapar and his mother being a housewife, the determined student told this writer, "I have seen people who do menial jobs and work hard to provide for their families yet they still have poor quality of life.""As a proud Malaysian, I benefited from the facilities and opportunities, I am forever indebted to Malaysia. If my country needs my expertise and skills and if I have the capability to give back, I think giving back is the right thing to do."

Outside of his studies, the Klang native is also a movie buff, an avid volunteer within his community, and a fierce karate competitor

In the past, Yugendran has written articles on human rights, mental health, and healthcare accessibility in developing countries. He is not all books though, as he has earned a black belt in karate. At the end of the day, he thoroughly enjoys kicking back to a good ol' sci-fi film, like The Matrix.

Yugendran working as part of a team with Closing The Gap, a Malaysian non-governmental organisation that empowers bright, under-represented students with the knowledge and skills to achieve their fullest potential.

With all these experiences, Yugendran has developed a tenacity like no other.
But, what is his secret to success? He says, "learn for the sake of knowledge and not merely for exams."

Driven by the desire to improve his family's situation, Yugendran conveyed that "No special talent or power is required to be successful, pure hard work and determination are enough to bring you to greater heights."At the same time, Yugendran was quick to note that his successes were not his alone. If not for his family, mentors, and friends, the star student said he might have never developed the grit to chase after his dreams or end up in the position he is in today.

"Never Felt So Degraded" – Woman Crawls Off Plane After Being Asked To Pay For Wheelchair

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

An Australian woman who uses a wheelchair was allegedly forced to crawl 4 metres along the aisle of her Jetstar flight on 26 October

According to 7NEWS Australia, Natalie Curtis was flying with Jetstar from Singapore to Bangkok, Thailand. During boarding, Curtis was reportedly provided with an aisle wheelchair to get to her seat.She revealed that she had brought her own wheelchair with her on her travels but it could not fit in the plane, thus having to rely on an aisle wheelchair. However, when the plane reached the destination, the Jetstar staff informed Curtis that she will be charged for the transfer wheelchair service.Curtis reportedly refused to pay for the service.

A typical aisle wheelchair used on airplanes to transport disabled passengers during boarding and disembarking.
Image via Wikipedia

Curtis claimed that she has never had to pay for an aisle wheelchair service before and therefore did not see why she was being charged for it this time

"When we arrived (staff) were asking us to actually pay and I didn't really comprehend it, and I'm like, 'No, I'm not paying to be able to get off this plane'," Curtis told 7NEWS reporters. When the situation did not progress, she took it upon herself to get off her seat without a wheelchair and crawl down the airplane aisle. "They all just sat around for a while and the [only] option that was left was for me to get on the floor and crawl," the Australian said.

Image via 7NEWS Australia

Curtis was traveling with her friend, Natasha Elford, who filmed the entire incident on her phone. She told reporters that the Jetstar staff had offered to carry Curtis off the plane but she felt that it would have made the situation worse and more dangerous. "I just felt really sorry for Natalie... I just felt really hopeless and I'm like, 'I just can't believe this is really happening'," Elford said.

Jetstar has issued an apology to Curtis, as well as offering a refund and additional compensation

According to a Jetstar spokesperson, the flight crew were informed that an aisle wheelchair would not be available for at least 40 minutes when arriving in Bangkok. "We unreservedly apologise to Ms Curtis for her recent experience while travelling with us. We are committed to providing a safe and comfortable travel experience for all our customers, including those requiring specific assistance," the spokesperson said in a statement."Regrettably, this was not the case for Ms Curtis following a miscommunication that resulted in the delay of an aisle chair being made available at the gate on arrival and we are looking into what happened as a matter of urgency," the spokesperson added.However, Jetstar has denied withholding an aisle wheelchair from Curtis due to a request for payment for the service.

According to reporters, Curtis has sworn of Jetstar and will never fly with the airline company ever again

She shared her experience in a Facebook group called 'Why we hate Jetstar' and said that the whole experience was "embarrassing" and she felt humiliated by what she had to go through. "I have never felt so degraded in my life... Absolutely disgusted in the service provided," the Queensland native wrote.

The tragedy occurred outside the family's home in Masai, one of the oldest neighbourhood of Johor Bahru town, at about 12.30pm yesterday, 14 February.According to a report in NST Online, the boy's mother didn't realise the child was in front of her Perodua Alza when he was hit and dragged for about 10 metres.

The distraught mother, in her 30s, said she initially thought she was dragging some garbage that got stuck to the car's undercarriage

"I'm still confused by what happened. When I left, he was still in the house," she said.

The mother only suspected something was wrong after she had already driven for about several metres, according to a family friend

"She thought her youngest child was in the house with his four siblings. Her husband was also in the house at the time."She only suspected something amiss after driving for about several metres."When she came out of the vehicle, she was shocked to find her son under the vehicle," NST Online quoted the family friend as saying.

While the family rushed the boy to the Hospital Penawar Pasir Gudang, it was too late. He was pronounced dead upon arrival.

"Wajib Qadha Puasa" - Penyampai Radio Mohon Maaf Siar Azan Maghrib Lebih Awal 4 Minit

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

Gara-gara menyiarkan azan Maghrib empat minit lebih awal, seorang penyampai stesen radio tempatan Tawau di Sabah tampil memohon maaf susulan kesilapan teknikal itu

Menerusi perkongsian di Facebook miliknya, penyampai radio terbabit menjelaskan berlaku kesilapan teknikal apabila azan Maghrib disiarkan dua kali iaitu pada 6.16 petang dan 6.20 petang."Saya, Mohd. Safwan bin Junit, penyampai yang bertugas petang ini dalam Syoknya Hujung Minggu telah melakukan kesilapan teknikal yang mana azan Maghrib disiarkan dua kali, iaitu sekitar 6.16 petang dan yang kedua 6.20 petang."Azan yang sepatutnya disiarkan pada 6.20 telah dikumandangkan lebih awal dari waktunya, menyebabkan ramai daripada warga Tawau secara tidak sengaja telah berbuka puasa awal dari waktu," katanya sambil menjelaskan perkara itu disebabkan oleh kesilapan teknikal dan kesilapan dirinya sendiri.

Mohon maaf kepada warga Tawau yang terkesan dengan situasi tidak diduga itu

Sehubungan itu, beliau secara peribadi dan rendah hati memohon maaf kepada warga Tawau yang terkesan dengan situasi tidak diduga itu."Kesilapan ini, adalah kesilapan dari diri saya sendiri dan bukan RTM Tawau atau Tawau FM."Yang baik datangnya dari Allah dan yang kurang itu datangnya dari kelemahan diri saya sendiri. Mohon 'share' permohonan maaf ini," ujarnya.

Batal puasa jika buka awal sebab azan di radio tersilap

Image via Datuk Dr. Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri (Facebook)

Umat Islam yang berbuka puasa lebih awal kerana azan Maghrib dari kesilapan stesen radio tempatan dianggap terbatal puasanya dan perlu diganti balik selepas Ramadan.Demikian penjelasan bekas Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Agama), Datuk Dr. Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri sebagai mengulas insiden yang mungkin ada terjadi di negara ini.“Tidak sah dan batal puasa individu yang menyangka telah pun tenggelam matahari tetapi ia belum lagi tenggelam. Wajib diqadha' semula menurut jumhur ulama,” terang beliau ringkas.Hantaran berbentuk infografik tersebut disiarkan menerusi laman sosial rasmi tokoh agama itu sebagai merujuk soalan adakah sah puasa jika juruhebahnya terkhilaf memasang azan awal.

Semoga kejadian seperti ini tidak lagi berlaku dan umat Islam dapat lebih berhati-hati serta tidak terburu-buru berbuka lebih awal :)

Basically, a salesperson would show up either before the mall opens or after it closes, and then just drive through one of the doors

Lala explained, "Okay guys, usually at 8.30am or 10.00pm, we're already in front of the mall to drive the car through the entrance door or the back door.""At that time, there's only the security guard to help guide us in," she said.

"You Are The Future" — Malaysian Youth Encouraged To Embrace Their Role As Changemakers

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by the Ministry of Finance Malaysia.

The Youth Economic Forum (YEF) 2022 was held over the weekend, bringing together over 500 youth from various backgrounds to discuss global issues and new perspectives on economic development

Image via Ministry of Finance

Organised by the Perdana Fellow Alumni Association (PFAA), YEF 2022 marked the ninth instalment of the forum.

Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz was present at the forum, and shared about the nation's increasingly positive economic growth momentum in his keynote address, while spurring the young generation to take ownership of their role as Malaysia's leaders-to-be.

According to Tengku Zafrul, Malaysia has enjoyed three consecutive quarters of economic growth since Q4 2021, which is a positive sign

"In the second quarter of this year we grew by 8.9%. Our unemployment rate in August 2022 is at 3.7%, back to pre-pandemic levels, while the number of unemployed has recorded a consistent month-to-month drop, which is good news for job seekers."In fact, we have revised our 2022 growth outlook from 6.5% to 7% in the recently tabled Budget 2023. We see all this as a validation of our economic policies and fiscal management since the onset of the pandemic. Indeed, I can confidently say that the economy is on a much stronger footing now than it was at the height of the pandemic," he said.

Image via Ministry of Finance

Nonetheless, Tengku Zafrul also described the headwinds facing the world, such as recession, and stressed the importance of the government (and youth) to be agile to overcome these challenges

With the sharp tightening of financial conditions, Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, China's strict zero-COVID policy, and other factors, governments need to be responsive to the needs of the people.In Malaysia, the Ministry of Finance has adopted a 3R approach (Responsive, Responsible, Reformist), with a focus on being agile, resilient, and impactful.Ultimately, he said that the onus of building the country lies on every individual, especially for younger Malaysians to realise it.

Image via Ministry of Finance

"You are the future of Malaysia. We will not prosper, nor will we survive, if our youth remain passive and disengaged. So, come forward with determination and the desire to remain invested in this country's progress as the torch of leadership, in your families, companies, communities, industries, and even countries, will be passed to you all," he said.

PFAA president, Mistika Idris, echoed those sentiments and shared how challenges can be turned into opportunities for today's youth to become resilient

"It is easy to be pessimistic, especially in the world we live in today. Where so many people complain about the state of governments, the efficiency of intergovernmental organisations or the legitimacy of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and startups. Condemning only gets us so far," she said.Instead, Idris shared how she has had the honour of meeting entire communities of youth that are so invested in putting their time, effort, discipline, expertise, and passion into a more positive and sustainable future — despite what the world has become and how demotivating the work may be to change it.

Image via Ministry of Finance

"Progress is not inevitable, and it requires struggle and perseverance and discipline and faith. But that's the story of how we as a generation will persevere."

"All of us here, the youth, have a responsibility to uphold, which is to restore the door of opportunity to the Malaysian dream of prosperity, inclusivity, and sustainability. To be present, to vote, to contribute and to voice out."In my opinion, that is both our privilege and our burden. We cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together," said Idris.
