Dari bekerja di rumah hinggalah terpaksa guna video call untuk hampir semua perkara, ini juga benda baru untuk sesetengah orang tau. Ibu bapa kita pun terus pandai nak buat video call sekarang. Dating pun dalam phone je. Walaupun pada mulanya ia agak janggal, tapi bila dah lama-lama tu rasa okay pula.

Begitupun, sekarang bila dah semua hampir kembali normal, mulalah kita rindu momen-momen ini

Sebab itulah Coca-Cola nak kita sentiasa hargai yang tersayang kerana segalanya lebih manis bila bersama.Berikut ialah antara 4 perkara yang anda akan rindu ketika PKP:

“Company akak takda work from home, macam mana ni?”

Tak semua company ada kelebihan work from home ketika di awal PKP dan ramai yang tertanya-tanya,” Kita buat kerja tapi dekat rumah? Ada lunch hour jugak ke? Clock out pulak macam mana?”Haa, tapi lama-lama bila dah tahu macam mana nak susun jadual ketika work from home, mesti korang tak nak balik ke situasi asal kan? Rasa lagi mudah dan jimat!

Nak beli ikan, buah, goreng pisang? Semuanya boleh beli online

Yang ini paling best! Craving lah apa pun, mesti ada orang jual online. Yang paling syok, boleh deliver dekat depan rumah lagi. Tiba-tiba sampai ikan, tiba-tiba sampai yong tau fu dan macam-macam lagilah. Lepas tu, makan ramai-ramai dengan family. Rindunya!

Main pelbagai jenis game dan aktiviti DIY dengan anak-anak

Ketika PKP, ia merupakan masa yang paling bermakna bagi ibu bapa. Anda dapat meluangkan lebih masa dengan anak-anak. Kalau sebelum PKP, mesti anda setakat bawa anak-anak ke mall tak pun playground. Tapi, bila dah kena stay at home, anda sebagai ibu bapa terus cari jalan untuk sentiasa menghiburkan anak-anak. Macam-macam games anda main dengan anak-anak. Ada yang buat projek DIY lagi. Bestnya!

Kongsi 1 hari 1 resipi menu makanan di media sosial

Rata-rata netizen upload gambar dan resipi makanan ketika PKP sedang berlangsung. Ada yang mencuba masakan baru setelah sekian lama save resipi. Ada juga yang akhirnya mencuba sesuatu yang baru dan kini mereka menjual pula makanan tu. Memang seronok dan meriah betul tengok timeline hari-hari ada menu baru.

Coca-Cola nak anda menghargai saat bersama yang tersayang

Sepanjang PKP, baru kita sedar sekecil-kecil perkara seperti berjumpa rakan sekerja atau sekadar bersarapan di mamak sebenarnya memberikan impak yang besar dalam hidup kita.

PKP juga menunjukkan kita perspektif yang lebih bermakna tentang sesuatu perkara. Ia turut mengajar kita untuk mengenali diri sendiri dan orang sekeliling.


Man In Sabah Walks 7KM To Deliver Food & Cries After He Was Surprised With A Bicycle

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

A video of a food deliveryman walking from Gaya Street to The Palace Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, recently went viral on TikTok

In the 33-second clip shared by user @neverpermanent, the man can be seen crossing a busy road and walking towards his customer's location."I feel sorry for him for walking so far. When he arrived, he kept on saying sorry for being late," said the customer."May all riders and deliverymen have an easy journey and be successful in life and the hereafter."

Image via @neverpermanent (TikTok)

The video caught the attention of Adrian Edy, a well-known welfare activist who searched for the deliveryman and gifted him a bicycle

According to Adrian's Instagram post, he said that his followers have been tagging him on the TikTok video asking him to help the man."Last week, he walked to deliver food to a customer at a hotel. The customer was surprised that he walked because the distance to the restaurant was quite far, between 6km to 7km," said Adrian.Adrian went on to say that the deliveryman, who goes by Khai, has been saving up for months to buy himself a bicycle."He doesn't come from a wealthy family, so he is willing to travel long distances to earn a living. Every week he would send money to his mother back in their village," Adrian added."He'd work from 8am to 9pm every day, but the orders aren't consistent. There are times when he has no orders to send, and because he delivers by foot, he can't deliver food to faraway locations."

Image via @adrianedy7 (Instagram)

Khai cried when he was given the bicycle and after Adrian encouraged him to keep fighting

The deliveryman said that it felt like a dream to meet Adrian in person and to be given a gift that he had always wanted."God brought us together, maybe thanks to the prayers of my brother, my mother, and prayers of my friends," said Khai.Adrian then told him to take care of the bicycle and to keep having faith in God as every good thing comes from Him."He immediately used the bike for work, and he texted me on WhatsApp that he's gotten more orders as of late," said Adrian.

Meet The 57-Year-Old Malaysian Mum Who Drives A 10-Wheel Trailer To Support Her Kids

Meet Rosalekka Salim.
She is affectionately called 'Kak Lori'

Image via Rosalekka Salim (Facebook)

She is 57 years old and is a single mother of two sons

Image via Rosalekka Salim (Facebook)

Rosalekka, who was a former factory worker for 18 years, now drives a 10-wheel trailer, transporting containers from Penang port

Image via Rosalekka Salim (Facebook)

Image via Rosalekka Salim (Facebook)

She makes 150 trips a month. She picks up containers from ships from the Penang Port and delivers them to the depot for repairs.

According to Rosalekka, being a trailer driver is not as difficult as it seems.In contrast, it was her job as a factory worker that she considered to be too demanding."Last time, work was more difficult because it was always stressful, especially when my employer got angry, but now driving a trailer is easier and I can earn a relatively high income," she said.And she does this while effortlessly rocking baju kurung.

Image via Rosalekka Salim (Facebook)

How much does she earn?

While Rosalekka does not receive standard basic pay due to the unconventional nature of her job, it has allowed her to be her own boss with flexible working hours.As per reports in 2017, she makes RM7,000 a month plus food allowance, commissions, and bonuses. She shared that her flexible work hours allow her to earn more by doing more trips.

The mother of two has an extremely bubbly personality

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Rosalekka Salim (@rosalekka)

Through her work as a trailer driver and what she shares on her social media, Rosalekka hopes to get the younger generation to be self-reliant and at the same time, dispel any negative perception towards such jobs by the public

She hopes to inspire the younger generation to not be dependent on their parents."Many graduates choose to remain unemployed, while there are many vacant positions, including as lorry drivers. Give it a try, and do not keep relying on your parents' money," she advises.

Image via Rosalekka Salim (Facebook)

Admitting that being a female driver in an industry dominated by men there are times when she's hassled, she adds that she doesn't let it bother her

While recounting a past incident, she said that once her truck was stopped by a group of drunk men in the middle of the road. They verbally assaulted her. However, she said that she was fortunate as a passerby came to her aid and chased the men away.And while she acknowledges the risks, she loves her job and praises her employer as "the best in the world". In fact, she even joked that her boss now only wants women as he finds them to be more hardworking.

The Johor Pakatan Harapan government has fallen after it lost its majority in the southern state, reported Malaysiakini in a live report.In a statement published on Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar's Facebook page, a new state coalition, dubbed as Gabungan Baharu, has been formed with several State Legislative Assembly representatives (ADUNs). Together, they have acquired a simple majority to form the new state government. The announcement came after Sultan Ibrahim interviewed 54 of the 56 assemblypersons yesterday. They were asked to choose between Pakatan Harapan and Gabungan Baharu. The two ADUNs who failed to show up were Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub and Johor Bersatu chief Mazlan Bujang.As a result, Gabungan Bahru came out on top with the support of 28 ADUNs, while the remaining 26 voted for Pakatan Harapan.Prior to this, PH held 39 seats in Johor - DAP (14), Bersatu (11), Amanah (9), and PKR (5).

Earlier this morning, a report by an English daily report quoted PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man as saying that all MPs from UMNO and PAS have signed a statutory declaration (SD) to back former Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as the eighth Prime Minister."When Dr Mahathir announced his resignation and refused to accept positions, Muafakat Nasional signed an SD for Muhyiddin," said Tuan Ibrahim."But if there isn't a clear (Parliament) majority, we propose for Parliament to be dissolved."However, in a tweet at 11.48am, Annuar Musa denies the claim."[An English daily] reported that UMNO and PAS have agreed to name Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin as Prime Minister is NOT TRUE," Annuar tweets."Our stand remains that we want Parliament to be dissolved."He adds that any official statements can only be made by party presidents or YDPA at this juncture.

PH is the next group to retract their support for interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir following UMNO and PAS' decision today.In a Facebook statement, DAP assistant national publicity secretary Yeo Bee Yin says PH rejects Dr Mahathir's idea to form a "unity government of individuals". According to her, such a move will allow Dr Mahathir to choose candidates for the Cabinet and PH will not be consulted in the process."In addition, the proposed Cabinet from Tun will likely include the same personalities who triggered the current crisis, as well as MPs from UMNO and PAS," explains Yeo."Effectively, it is a Tun government and not a PH government. The promises of the PH manifesto will not be fulfilled."She adds that Dr Mahathir failed to attend the PH presidential council meeting to discuss the issue. In view of that, she said PH has now nominated Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the eighth Prime Minister.A Malay Mail report cited an aide to Yeo as saying that the former Energy, Science, Technology, Environment, and Climate Change Minister's statement is in agreement with other DAP MPs.

Someone DIY-ed Their AirPods Into Earrings So They'll Never Go Missing

Over the weekend, Twitter user @bloodorgy went viral after they shared a truly fashionable do-it-yourself (DIY) hack to keep your AirPods from going missing

Image via Twitter @bloodorgy

At the time of writing, the tweet garnered over 46,000 retweets and 197,000 likes."I got AirPods initially because my cat ate through two of my Beats Bluetooth earphones. And all my other earphones," 22-year-old Gabrielle or "L" told SAYS.L, who resides in US, added, "But I have a tragus piercing which tends to push out earphones, so I needed something that could connect the earphones and made out of a material that my cat couldn't destroy."

L already had a chain that connected the AirPods, but they thought of switching it up and turned it into an accessory instead

"I made my own connector similar to [AirPod straps]. Then attached the connector with jewellery materials to the earring itself. The earring is a regular jewellery chain and jump rings attached to a hoop earring," L explained to SAYS.

The sweet trick - which L has now dubbed as "Airings" - has left netizens absolutely shook

When asked how they felt about the sudden popularity of their tweet, L said, "I think it's cool and funny. I made the earrings out of personal need and decided to post it for fun. I didn't expect all the reactions I got, both negative and positive."

Though one question burns in the minds of many - how do you charge the AirPods?

"People most often ask 'how are you going to charge them?' But the AirPods and earrings are completely detachable from each other," L explained to SAYS.Here's a closer look at the earrings:

Image via Twitter @bloodorgy (provided)

L plans to release the Airings as custom orders for USD20 (RM82). When asked if they plan to release other designs, L said, "I probably [won't] make any other accessories unless there is a demand for them. [I]f someone wanted a necklace I would be willing to do that for them. Anything else is impractical."

Nurse Finally Gets To Meet Her Blind Parents After Being Forced To Stay Away For 3 Months

Earlier this week, Nurul Rafidah Jaafar, a nurse working at the UiTM Private Specialist Centre (PPUiTM) in Sungai Buloh, was finally reunited with her blind parents who live in Permatang Pauh, Penang

She met them on Monday, 22 June, at their home in Taman Ara Indah after over three months of not being able to see her parents due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order (MCO).According to Audrey Dermawan of New Straits Times, they hugged each other as soon as the 29-year-old nurse arrived at her parents' with her husband Mohd Irfan Imanullah Murad."It was a long-awaited reunion," said the report.

Nurul had been apart from her parents for 99 days as she left for Kuala Lumpur on 15 March. Three days later, the MCO came into effect.

While the MCO was lifted on 9 June, Nurul was only able to travel this week, making it the first time in her life that she had been away from her parents for such an extended period."There is no other gift more precious than our daughter and son-in-law's return. We missed and yearned for them but could not meet due to the MCO," 57-year-old Hamidah Mustaffa was quoted as saying."So, every day, we would talk to each other via video and voice calls."

The parents also got the chance to celebrate their daughter's birthday

Nurul's birthday was on 11 June, however, the parents decided to celebrate the day with a cake.

According to Nurul, her mother was unable to see from birth while her father suffered vision problems when he was two years old

Her brother, 27-year-old Mohamad Shukri Jaafar, is a medical assistant at the army camp in Sungai Petani.She said that she was grateful, even if it meant she was only back for a night."Every day, I worry about my parents' wellbeing and I prayed for them. I am glad that they are doing very well. In fact, they have become 'rounder' since the last time I saw them," Nurul said.

Last week, a man from Sarawak, finally returned home thanks to the kindness of Good Samaritans who gave him a lift to KLIA:

Inilah ungkapan yang selalu kita dengar dan perlu kita hayati dalam kehidupan. Kasih sayang ibu memang tiada tandingannya. Jasa ibu tidak mungkin dapat dibalas oleh anak-anak tidak kira sehebat mana pun pengorbanan si anak terhadap ibunya.Hubungan anak dengan ibu diibarat 'bagai air dicincang tidak akan putus'. Walaupun berlaku salah faham, kasih ibu tetap menjadi pelengkap kepada kehidupan si anak. Peribahasa ini begitu tepat digambarkan menerusi filem 'Bu, Kasih Suci' ini.

Filem 'Bu, Kasih Suci' memaparkan kisah tentang pengorbanan ibu dan liku kehidupan melalui 3 cerita berbeza yang menyayat hati

‘Bu, Kasih Suci‘ arahan sulung Jeany Amir ini mengisahkan tentang ujian dan cabaran yang perlu dihadapi oleh tiga keluarga kecil. Perselisihan faham yang sering berlaku dalam kalangan ahli keluarga menyebabkan setiap keluarga ditimpa masalah.Antara isu yang diketengahkan ialah bapa yang terlalu sibuk, kandungan berisiko, kehendak ibu vs isteri, dan banyak lagi.

Cerita 1: Konflik keluarga kecil Aishah

Pelakon hebat, Nadiya Nisaa yang memegang watak Aishah adalah seorang suri rumah sepenuh masa. Aishah sering kali rasa keseorangan dan tidak dihargai apabila suaminya, Norman lakonan Rashidi Ishak terlalu komited terhadap kerjayanya sebagai seorang doktor sehingga mengabaikan keluarganya sendiri.Anak perempuan remaja mereka, Julia lakonan Tia Sarah pula tidak gemar duduk di rumah dan lebih suka menghabiskan masa dengan menghadiri acara cosplay bersama rakan-rakanya. Dengan Norman yang terlalu sibuk dan Julia selalu keluar rumah, Aishah mula tertekan dan konflik keluarga mula tercetus.

Cerita 2: Kandungan bayi berisiko kerana usia

Selepas beberapa tahun mencuba, akhirnya pasangan Nora (Nadia Brian) dan suaminya, Hafiz (Remy Ishak) mendapat berita gembira apabila Nora disahkan hamil buat pertama kali. Malangnya, impian mereka untuk memiliki zuriat berdepan risiko tinggi kerana usia Nora telah mencecah 40 tahun.Ujian menimpa lagi pasangan ini apabila Hafiz terpaksa berhenti kerja sebagai tukang masak kerana sering mengambil cuti sehingga menimbulkan konflik dengan majikan. Akan tetapi, hubungan Hafiz dan Nora semakin rapat apabila masing-masing saling memberi semangat untuk Hafiz terus menulis dan menjadi seorang novelis.

Cerita 3: Impian ibu vs kehendak isteri

Ibu yang semakin dimamah usia mengimpikan seorang cucu, tetapi si isteri pula memutuskan untuk menangguh rancangan mengandung demi kerjaya. Sebagai anak lelaki dan suami, mana satu yang perlu dituruti?Lakonan hebat Iedil Putra yang memegang watak Zack, Mawar Rashid sebagai Diana, dan Dian P Ramlee sebagai Kak Mah berjaya menghidupkan plot cerita ini ke tahap yang mampu menitiskan air mata penonton.Konflik tercetus lagi apabila Kak Mah dan Diana mendapat tahu syarikat Zack bekerja baru saja gulung tikar dan dia kehilangan sumber pendapatan keluarga.

Namun apakan daya, setiap yang diberi kepada kita itu adalah pinjaman di dunia semata-mata, termasuklah cinta sejati. Apabila cinta sejati itu dipisahkan dengan kematian, maka yang tinggal hanyalah perasaan rindu dan kenangan indah yang sentiasa terpahat di hati dan dalam ingatan.

Begitulah yang dapat digambarkan tentang kisah seorang atok ini yang hampir setiap malam membacakan surah Yasin kepada arwah opah bagi melepaskan rasa rindu di hati

Image via Twitter @UltrazAcez

Menerusi satu tweet yang dikongsikan pengguna Twitter bernama Ibnu Shehri, setiap malam datuknya akan 'sedekahkan' surah itu kepada neneknya yang telah pergi.

Image via Twitter @UltrazAcez

Lebih menyentuhkan hati lagi, datuknya menganggap dengan mambacakan surah Yasin, ia merupakan antara cara dia boleh membantu arwah nenek di alam barzakh, ekoran terlalu sayangkan arwah yang telah pergi buat selama-lamanya.

Susulan daripada tweet itu, ramai yang turut sama berkongsikan pengalaman keluarga mereka sendiri. Masing-masing menceritakan kisah yang dilalui orang tua mereka selepas kehilangan orang yang tersayang.

DBKL Closes Titiwangsa Park Indefinitely Because Visitors Keep Disobeying CMCO Rules

Taman Tasik Titiwangsa has been ordered to close indefinitely starting today, 28 May, by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)

In a Facebook post today, the DBKL announced that the shutdown was aimed at preventing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic following the high number of visitors to the recreational park."Nevertheless, jogging is still allowed outside or around the park," it said while sharing pictures of the closed park.Under the loosened restrictions of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) that began on 4 May, public parks were opened for activities as long as the public adhered to stringent guidelines such as maintaining social distancing and avoiding mass gatherings.

A DBKL spokesman said that visitors to the recreational park were disobeying the rules set by the Ministry of Health (MOH)

According to The Star, he said their poor behaviour prompted the closure of the park."Some families visited the park to have picnics, which is not allowed, and some even cut our yellow tape around playground sets for their children to play in," he said.He then urged the public to follow the rules that have been set."Our officers will be monitoring the other parks in the city and if we find similar behaviour, we will have no choice but to close those parks as well."

These Unique Boxer Briefs Are Inspired By Sarawak Batik And They Are Oh So Malaysian!

A local clothing brand, Bartek by DCM, has recently gained netizens' attention for its unique batik boxer briefs

On Tuesday, September 24, Twitter user @ayrezz_Q wrote, "These boxer briefs are quite nice."

lawa ya boxer berunsurkan songket ni pic.twitter.com/OgI9oUroFu— abe (@ayrezz_Q) September 24, 2019

The tweet has since garnered 1,100 retweets and 1,661 likes.

Bartek by DCM claims it celebrates local heritage and culture by retaining traditional designs in all its pieces

Its founder, Shahrulnizam Samawi is a born and bred Sarawakian.

He told SAYS that the idea came when he realised that it was difficult to find boxer briefs with interesting designs, what more those with local motifs.

Image via Instagram @bartekbydcm

The 30-year-old fashion designer feels that it's just another way to promote tradition through fashion. He said, "This way, batik isn't just confined to being used for formal shirts and dresses. Now it's created into something more modern and pratical."

Image via Instagram @bartekbydcm

These boxers are almost too pretty to just wear on the inside

Image via Bartek by DCM/Facebook

Some of the motifs on the boxer briefs are inspired by the Pua Kumbu, a multicoloured ceremonial cloth used by Iban people in Sarawak.Meanwhile, other designs are inspired by the Malay songket and also 'Pucuk Paku', a pattern that is commonly used in traditional Malay fabrics.

"She Is As Malaysian As I Am" - Johor Permaisuri Pays Tribute To Her Chinese Grandmother

In a post titled 'Love sees no colour', Permaisuri of Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Sultan Idris Shah paid a touching tribute to her Chinese grandmother

Sultan Ibrahim ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj and Raja Zarith Sofiah binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Iskandar Al-Mutawakkil Alallahi Shah Afifullah.

In the post, which was shared on The Royal Johor Facebook page, Her Majesty explained that she received photographs of her three grandchildren for her 60th birthday from her eldest son, Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim."Those photographs are displayed on my shelves, together with the many others of my family," Raja Zarith wrote today, 19 August.One of the photographs is of Tunku Mahkota as a baby, being held in the arms of Her Majesty's maternal grandmother.

Image via Facebook

Her Majesty fondly recalled her grandmother, who was a Peranakan Chinese and sister of Malaysian Federal Court judge Tan Sri Chang Min Tat, in her Nyonya kebaya and batik sarongs

She reminisced seeing the woman at her mother's house in Ipoh, Perak for Hari Raya celebrations."Sadly, she passed on when my children were still very young. But I would always show them the photographs of her so that they will never ever forget about her," the post read.Raja Zarith added that she wished her grandmother could know that she is still remembered as "Nenek" by Tunku Ismail.

"At the age of sixty, I realise that there is still so much for me to learn," the Johor Permaisuri wrote.
"One thing I do know for sure, is that my Chinese grandmother is as Malaysian as I am myself."

Image via Facebook

She explained that her children, with their mixed blood heritage, are also as Malaysian as she is."Children are actually — if left to their own pure and innocent thoughts and their own understanding of the world — oblivious about racial differences. It is us — as parents — who consciously, or unconsciously, make them aware about these differences," Raja Zarith said.Her Majesty added that, "As a parent, I was determined for my own children to know and accept that my grandmother was a Chinese, in the same way that they know that their own paternal grandmother was English."

Image via Bernama

In ending the post, Raja Zarith revealed that her son Tunku Ismail is hoping to perform Haj in Makkah next year

"If Allah accepts him as His guests in the Holy Land, I will ask him to pray, not just for us, his parents, but for family too," she wrote."And I will remind him not to forget his Nenek."

The post resonated with Malaysians, as netizens commented that Her Majesty's touching words served as a "timely" reminder of Malaysian unity

Anwar Appoints Johari To Lead 1MDB Taskforce Against Goldman Sachs

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

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has appointed Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani to lead a special task force against the 1MDB scandal involving RM11.3 billion settlement with Goldman Sachs

Anwar told Dewan Rakyat yesterday, 9 March, that the special task force was formed to resolve matters after Johari raised issues concerning the multibillion-ringgit scandal in Dewan Rakyat recently, including the settlement reached with Goldman Sachs Group, reported Bloomberg.According to Anwar, he agreed with the criticism Johari raised on Malaysia's settlement deal with Goldman Sachs in 2020, which was carried out by the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin-led government.As per the settlement, Goldman Sachs was asked to pay the government RM11.3 billion in cash and guarantee the return of RM6.33 billion in 1MDB assets seized by authorities around the world.Johari, who is the Titiwangsa member of parliament (MP), had accused Goldman Sachs of taking advantage of inadequate negotiations by Muhyiddin's administration. He also urged Anwar's administration to investigate those involved in the settlement, saying Malaysia had been short-changed in the matter.

Anwar told the Dewan Rakyat that he himself disagrees with the past decisions, which were too light when the understanding was made

"Goldman Sachs profited off our hardship and pain," said Anwar."[Johari] raised the issue about Goldman Sachs and 1MDB," said Anwar, adding, "That is why I appointed the Titiwangsa MP to chair a task force to resolve issues related to 1MDB."According to Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs and the Malaysian government are currently in dispute over how much the US bank owes Malaysia for its role in raising USD6.5 billion (RM29.4 billion) in 2012 and 2013.Last month, Johari told Dewan Rakyat that the RM11.3 billion figure agreed upon was too little."Why should we sacrifice money that we can get from the number one investment bank in the world? How can we allow Goldman Sachs just to run away like that when its senior management was involved?" Johari said.

Johari speaking in Dewan Rakyat last month.

"Keadaan Makin Pulih" - Lelaki 280KG Ini Kini Nekad Mahu Turunkan Semula Berat Badan

Masalah berat badan berlebihan, obesiti atau gemuk berlebihan ini bukanlah keadaan yang kita dapat elakkan

Ia berlaku kepada semua orang tanpa mengira jantina, bangsa dan warna kulit malahan kanak-kanak juga mengalaminya.

Gambar sekadar hiasan

Berat badan anda bertambah apabila anda makan banyak, lebih daripada apa yang boleh dibakar oleh badan anda. Kalori yang lebih ini akan disimpan sebagai lemak.Berlebihan berat badan dan kegemukan/obesiti akibat daripada pengambilan kalori yang berlebihan tidak akan berlaku dalam beberapa hari atau minggu. Selalunya ia akan terkumpul dan tersimpan selama beberapa bulan dan tahun.

Hal ini terjadi kepada seorang lelaki berusia 26 tahun yang dilabel sebagai lelaki paling gemuk di Wuhan, China

Berat badannya bertambah sebanyak 100 kilogram (KG) setelah lima bulan berada di rumah kerana pelaksanaan perintah berkurung akibat penularan wabak koronavirus (Covid-19).

Image via Weibo

Lelaki itu yang mahu dikenali sebagai Zhou, antara penduduk yang dikenakan perintah berkurung sebaik virus itu tercetus di Wuhan.Portal Oddity Central melaporkan sebelum perintah berkurung, Zhou menjaga berat badannya walaupun bekerja di kafe tempatan dan menjalani gaya hidup yang agak normal.Tetapi, semua itu berubah selepas Zhou mula menghabiskan sebahagian besar waktunya di dalam rumah.Namun selepas kerajaan melaksanakan perintah berkurung, dia telah mengambil makanan berlebihan. Malah, kurang bersenam juga antara faktor Zhou mengalami obesiti.

Dalam tempoh beberapa bulan saja, berat badannya bertambah secara mendadak sehingga mencecah 280KG

Kes mengejutkan itu didedahkan salah seorang doktor yang merawatnya di Hospital Pusat Selatan Universiti Wuhan sebaik dia dimasukkan ke hospital pada 1 Jun lalu.

Image via Weibo

Zhou memberitahu kepada doktor, dia tidak meninggalkan rumahnya sejak Januari.Berat badannya membuatnya tidak dapat tidur dengan selesa sebelum terpaksa mendapatkan bantuan perubatan."Doktor, saya tidak dapat tidur selama 48 jam. Ia menjadi sangat tidak selesa. Boleh kamu bantu saya?" Zhou didakwa bertanya kepada Dr Li Zhen di Hospital Pusat Selatan Universiti Wuhan.Ketika itu, dia sudah menghubungi doktor lain tetapi mereka enggan membantunya kerana berat badannya yang terlampau berat.

Pasukan paramedik bertungkus-lumus mengeluarkan Zhou dari rumahnya untuk dibawa menaiki ambulans, seterusnya dimasukkan ke unit rawatan rapi (ICU)

Image via Baomoi

Ujian awal menunjukkan pelbagai gejala, seperti kegagalan jantung dan masalah pernafasan.Malangnya, beratnya menyukarkan doktor untuk melakukan ujian lain seperti tekanan darah dan elektroensefalogram (EEG).

Namun begitu, keadaan Zhou kini semakin baik selepas 10 hari doktor berusaha menstabilkan kesihatannya

Image via VNExplorer

Zhou juga diberikan panduan menu makanan diet yang sihat oleh doktor serta dijangka akan menurunkan berat badannya sebanyak 25KG dalam masa dua bulan akan datang.Dr Li Zhen mengatakan kegemukan Zhou disebabkan oleh faktor genetik dan endokrin apabila ketidakaktifannya dan peningkatan pengambilan kalori selama lima bulan di Wuhan.

Semoga kes seperti ini dapat dijadikan iktibar untuk kita semua. Sama-samalah kita jaga kesihatan diri dan selalu bersenam ya! Ok?

#PRU15: Kenali Cikgu Rahayu, Bakal Calon MUDA Untuk Parlimen Tanjong Karang

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

Umum sedia maklum, pendidikan adalah satu keperluan yang amat penting bagi setiap individu

Seperti yang kita tahu, pendidikan juga merupakan satu perkara yang perlu diberikan pendedahan secara menyeluruh terhadap masyarakat terutamanya kepada golongan kanak-kanak.Begitupun, seorang pendidik dan juga aktivis iaitu Siti Rahayu Baharin telah mencuri tumpuan ramai baru-baru ini.Beliau yang lebih dikenali sebagai Cikgu Rahayu merupakan antara enam calon MUDA yang bakal bertanding pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 (PRU15) pada 19 November 2022.Menurut pengasas kepada Buku Jalanan Chow Kit ini, beliau ingin membuktikan bahawa orang biasa sepertinya juga mampu untuk berada di arena politik negara.

"Saya ingin buktikan kepada semua bahawa orang biasa seperti kita juga mampu mengangkat suara masyarakat di dalam politik. Mungkin kita sudah terbiasa bahawa kebanyakkan orang politik ini merupakan orang yang mempunyai nama dan dikenali."Sebenarnya, di luar sana kita mempunyai ramai young leaders yang tidak mempunyai ruang dalam masyarakat. Saya ingin menjadi inspirasi kepada wanita untuk berada di ruang politik. Kerana, apabila wanita ini berada di ruang politik, mereka satu sifat yang dipanggil sebagai sifat belas ihsan. Itu yang negara kita perlukan."Sebagai contoh, bagaimana PM New Zealand dapat menyelesaikan masalah pandemik Covid-19 dengan berkesan? Kerana dia mempunyai sifat kewanitaan dan keibuan. Jadi, disaat negara kita yang dilanda pelbagai krisis. Saya rasa, wanita boleh jadi a good solution provider to the party. Itu sebab saya join politik," kongsinya ketika ditemu bual SAYS Seismik baru-baru ini.

Beralih dari dunia aktivisme ke pentas politik dalam usaha untuk memperkasakan hak pendidikan

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Siti Rahayu Baharin (@cikgurahayu)

Berasal dari Megat Dewa, Kedah, Cikgu Rahayu tekad untuk mengejar impiannya dalam memberikan hak kesamarataan tentang pendidikan kanak-kanak di Malaysia tanpa mengira budaya, bangsa dan agama.Malah, keputusan Cikgu Rahayu untuk meninggalkan dunia aktivisme ke pentas politik merupakan langkah yang beliau impikan bagi merealisasikan matlamat yang telah diperjuangkan selama 7 tahun itu.Dalam pada itu, Cikgu Rahayu juga memilih untuk melepaskan jawatan sebagai co-founder kepada Buku Jalanan Chow Kit kerana ingin memfokuskan gerak kerjanya sebagai ahli politik.

Bakal bertanding dalam PRU15 di Parlimen Tanjong Karang, Selangor

Menerusi ciapan yang dimuat naiknya di Twitternya @CikguRahayu, menjaga kebajikan pesawah merupakan salah satu perkara yang perlu dititik beratkan.Hal ini kerana, mereka merupakan antara tenaga kerja yang terlibat dalam menghasilkan sumber makanan utama kepada negara iaitu beras. Malah, sawah padi di Tanjong Karang merupakan salah satu pengeluar terbesar beras di negara ini.

Adakah kita benar-benar memperjuangkan nasib para pesawah? Ini masa untuk kita terus bertindak agar masalah yang sekian lama dihadapi mereka dapat diselesaikan. #tanjongkarangkitapunya #malaysiakitaapunya #teamcikgurahayu pic.twitter.com/TcgsgA247i— Siti Rahayu Baharin (@CikguRahayu) November 1, 2022

Sebagai seorang yang pernah menceburi bidang aktivisme, menyantuni dan membantu masyarakat sudah menjadi kebiasaan dalam hidupnya.Walaupun pada beliau dunia politik merupakan perkara yang baru baginya, itu bukan penghalang untuk diri Cikgu Rahayu terus berjuang dalam membela hak-hak masyarakat terutama sekali di kawasan Tanjong Karang.Meskipun bidang politik merupakan antara bidang yang beliau impikan, Cikgu Rahayu tetap menjalankan rutinnya sebagai seorang pendidik secara separuh masa.

Pilih calon yang berintegriti dan lihat apa yang dia mahu perjuangkan

Walaupun Tewas Dengan Kanser, Namun Guru Matematik Ini Masih Terus 'Mengajar' Di YouTube

Kematian itu adalah sesuatu yang pasti

Bahkan, hidup dan mati diciptakan sebagai ujian buat kita untuk melihat berapa banyak yang telah kita manfaatkan daripada hidup kita dan apa yang kita lakukan ketika kita diuji. Lebih penting lagi, kita harus sedar bahawa jika bukan kerana mati, maka tiada maknanya kehidupan. Dan kerana kita akan mati, kita perlu memastikan bahawa hidup kita meninggalkan kesan yang bermanfaat.

Dan seharusnya menjadi keinginan semua untuk meninggalkan sesuatu legasi yang baik dan mulia dalam kehidupan ini. Bak kata pepatah melayu, “Harimau mati meninggalkan belang dan manusia mati meninggalkan nama.”

Seperti guru subjek Matematik Tambahan ini yang walaupun telah meninggal dunia akibat barah payudara, namun masih lagi dikenang kerana legasi yang ditinggalkannya

Arwah Cikgu Hayati Aini Ahmad yang lebih dikenali sebagai Cikgu Hayati itu dikatakan telah lama bertarung melawan penyakit yang dihadapinya itu. Walau bagaimanapun, sebelum pemergiannya, Cikgu Hayati telah memuat naik lebih daripada 300 video tutorial berkenaan mata pelajaran Matematik Tambahan di laman YouTube.Bukan disitu sahaja, beliau turut memuat naik video-videonya ke Facebook, semuanya demi memastikan beliau boleh membantu lebih ramai pelajar untuk memahami subjek berkenaan.

“Isteri saya akan merakamkan video di dalam Bahasa Melayu supaya pelajar-pelajarnya dapat memahami dengan lebih mudah walaupun dia lebih cenderung untuk mengajar subjek ini di dalam Bahasa Inggeris,” jelas Abdul Jalil Daud, suami Cikgu Hayati kepada mStar.

"Selagi video di YouTube itu boleh memberi manfaat buat semua, ambil dan belajarlah melaluinya," tambahnya lagi.

Menurut Abdul Jalil, arwah isterinya juga sanggup melakukan apa sahaja demi membantu para pelajarnya seperti menjawab segala persoalan pelajar meskipun di luar waktu persekolahan

"Dalam apa jua keadaan dia akan cuba penuhi keperluan orang lain berbanding dirinya sendiri," kata Abdul Jalil.Kenyataan ini turut disokong salah seorang bekas pelajar Cikgu Hayati, Ainal Fadilah yang kini berusia 34 tahun yang mana turut mengingati bagaimana arwah mendidik para pelajar dan berusaha untuk menjadikan sesi pembelajaran menjadi lebih mudah difahami. "Sebagai bekas pelajar, saya akan terus kongsikan ilmu yang diberikan cikgu di sosial media melalui Facebook dan YouTube untuk kegunaan generasi akan datang agar ia terus berkembang," kata Ainal.

Cikgu Hayati yang mengajar di SMK Bandar Baru Sungai Long, Kajang telah disahkan menghidap kanser payudara sejak Januari 2017 lagi. Tahap kesihatannya bagaimanapun semakin merudum dan membuatkan Cikgu Hayati terlantar sakit bermula September tahun lalu.Walau bagaimanapun, pada 11 Mac lalu, Cikgu Hayati akhirnya pergi meninggalkan semua insan tersayang pada usia 46 tahun.

Rude Guy Who Verbally Abuses Singaporean Taxi Driver Gets Caught On Cam

Being a bully has its consequences. A taxi passenger found out the hard way after a video capturing his antics were uploaded online by the taxi driver's daughter.

×

A video exposing a cab passenger's rude behaviour and uploaded by the taxi driver's daughter has made waves online. In the video uploaded on Faceboook, the passenger - who had booked a cab to take him from Chai Chee to Telok Ayer MRT station - could be heard raising his voice and scolding the taxi driver from the start of the journey.

        straitstimes.com

In the video uploaded on Facebook, the passenger - who had booked a cab to take him from Chai Chee to Telok Ayer MRT station - could be heard raising his voice and scolding the taxi driver from the start of the journey.

        asiaone.com

In the video, the driver was told to pick up the passenger at a designated spot but when the taxi arrived, the passenger was no where to be seen

Image via asiaone.com

The taxi driver then called to inform of his arrival, but was later berated by the passenger for passing him by on the main road

Image via asiaone.com

The passenger then demanded that he reach his destination by 6.30pm sharp when the journey started at 6.14pm and it was during peak hours

Image via asiaone.com

The time stamp on the video said the journey started at 6.14pm on last Friday. The passenger demanded to be at his destination by 6.30pm at any cost.

        straitstimes.com

Throughout the ride, the passenger complained about the way the taxi driver was driving

Image via asiaone.com

And even warned the driver to not let anyone cut their queue

Image via asiaone.com

The taxi driver explained that he was trying to keep a safe distance but was told off by the rude passenger

Image via asiaone.com

When the driver increased the temperature of the air conditioner after hearing his passenger coughing throughout the journey, he was scolded for doing so without permission

Image via asiaone.com

The passenger also scolded the driver for raising the temperature in the taxi. Text in the video explained that the driver did that as the passenger was coughing badly - this was audible in the video.

        straitstimes.com

The video went viral, and netizens quickly found details of the passenger and published them online

Image via All Singapore Stuff

By Sunday, the video had attracted at least 350,000 views and thousands of comments. Kind netizens wanted to give the driver a small token for the verbal abuse he had to suffer. Outraged netizens even claimed to have found the man and revealed his details. However, the Facebook page of the man appears to have been removed and he could not be reached at the number posted.

        straitstimes.com

A few hours after the video had been released, PoliteMan’s identity was revealed. Pictures of him were prominently displayed in a post I will not link. Users posted his address, handphone number and place of work in the comments section. They were applauded for it. One user posted a pseudo death threat in Chinese, “going to die already, quick die, quick die.” He was applauded too, with the only currency we know on Facebook — a hundred likes.

        asiancorrespondent.com

However, the daughter of the taxi driver has called on the public to not publish his details online. "His family might get something from that. It's not good".

The daughter of a taxi driver, whose run-in with a verbally abusive passenger has gone viral on Facebook, has called for a measured response.  "You don't have to publish his details online. His family might get something from that. It's not good," Clare said, in an interview with Class 95FM deejays Justin Ang and Vernon A on their Muttons in the Morning show on Monday (Mar 16).

        channelnewsasia.com

She reminded the public that the video was uploaded not to shame the guy but to help people understand the problems taxi drivers face daily

Image via The Straits Times

Clare also said she had uploaded the video to help people understand the problems that taxi drivers face daily. "I think at the end of the day, if you put it in perspective, it's not just for my dad. It's for all the taxi drivers out there who're driving the roads every single day. It's really long hours and people don't appreciate how difficult the job is. If you just imagine driving 14 hours a day. You're supposed to be on the ball throughout the day whenever anyone wants to go to any location. And you're immediately supposed to, on the spot, figure out the best route, the fastest route and get them there safe and quick."

        channelnewsasia.com

She added that since releasing the video, her family has been shown “tremendous support,” and that she hopes people will be kinder and more compassionate to others. She is also open to an apology from the passenger. "I hope he will give this story a happy ending by coming forward to apologise to my dad. We’ll always be happy to have dinner with him," she said.

        straitstimes.com

Other Singaporeans have also rallied people to be calm and to not resort to cyberbullying

Suddenly, we had become judge, jury and executioner and we cheered each other on. His name, his picture, his occupation — it was all fair game. Call him a woman’s private parts — score 4 points. Encourage others to stalk him online — score 5 points. Question his upbringing — score 11 points. Encourage people to print out his details and paste them at his void deck to shame him — score 12 points. Goad his boss into firing him — score 18 points. Be the first to post his home address — hit the jackpot. Ding, ding, ding. Congrats.

        asiancorrespondent.com

PoliteMan is guilty as sin but he doesn’t deserve to become the victim of our unbridled rage. He shouldn’t be made to live the rest of his life in fear and shame, without job security and without hope. If you weren’t a bully in school, don’t start becoming one now. Saying it’s just harmless fun whilst goading others into doing what you’re too much of a coward to do yourself is the bully’s favourite excuse. It is also the most revolting one.

        asiancorrespondent.com

Have no doubt about this — PoliteMan will be very sorry before the day is over, but so will we if we engage in the same contemptuous behaviour that we lambast him for. If Dad is willing to forgive PoliteMan, and I believe he is, so should we. We don’t have to excuse him for what he did, but we must restrain the inner beast within us — the one baying for blood whenever we see injustice—lest it tramples upon both our cherished ideals, of justice and grace.

The Kampung Chicken You Are Eating Might Be Fake

Poultry farmers are allegedly dyeing farm chickens in yellow dye to sell it as "kampung" (free range) chicken

Poultry farmers allegedly soaked farm chickens in yellow dye to pass of as kampung chicken

Image via imgur.com

Those who regularly buy chicken would have noticed that some plucked chickens are more yellow in colour than others.

        thestar.com.my

Your yellow ‘kampung chicken’ could be a fake ‘kampung chicken’. The Veterinarian Department recently received reports of errant poultry traders dying their farm chickens in yellow industrial pigment to pass them off as ‘kampung chicken’.

A poultry trader says operators soak regular chicken in yellow dye and water as Chinese consumers prefer chicken with yellowish skin

Image via imgur.com

A Sin Chew Daily reader who has been a poultry trader for decades claimed that many consumers have mistakenly thought that those chicken with bright yellow skin and flesh were "kampung chicken"

        thejakartapost.com

The trader pointed out that some poultry operators actually dyed farm chicken with pigment to change the chicken's appearance and deceive consumers.

        thejakartapost.com

He said the chickens, originally pale pink in colour. were dipped into a mixture of yellow dye and water. "The chickens are made to look yellow as many believe the yellow variety tastes better and better for health”.

        thestar.com.my

"The move was intended to attract customers as the Chinese prefer chickens with yellowish skin while consumers of other racial groups have no such preference," the trader was quoted as saying.

Selangor/Wilayah Persekutuan Chicken and Duck Traders Association confirms that some traders do practice this tactic

Selangor/Wilayah Persekutuan Chicken and Duck Traders Association vice-president Yap Chau Hen admitted that they’re some traders who resorted to such tactics.

        thestar.com.my

He admitted that a small number of poultry operators indeed dyed chicken with "yellow water" and it usually took place in wet markets offering freshly slaughtered chickens and mostly visited by Chinese consumers.

        mysinchew.com

The dye used is an industrial pigment used for colouring leather and wood called Aniline

The Sin Chew Daily had sent the yellow powder suspected to have used by poultry operators to dye chicken for examination and the results indicated that the yellow powder contained 6mg/kg of Aniline.

        mysinchew.com

To make the matter worse, some of them were using industrial pigment called "Aniline dye" instead of using the permitted food colouring, a trader told the paper.

        fz.com

Aniline dye is normally used to colour leather and woodworks.

        thestar.com.my

According to a chemical expert, since fat-soluble dyes instead of water-soluble dyes were used, the colour would not be washed away with water. "Consumers can remove the skin, but Aniline might have penetrated into the flesh with fat," the chemical expert added.

        mysinchew.com

Traders told Heath and Environment Department that the inconsistent chicken colour was due to the  de-feathering process

To see the situation first-hand, Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) Health and Environment Department director Dr Chitra Devi N. Vadivellu visited the SS2 market recently.

        healthcareasia.org

The traders told her that some of the farm-bred chickens were dipped in higher temperature boiling water during the de-feathering process, as such the meat is slightly cooked and becomes light yellow in colour.

        healthcareasia.org

“We will take samples for lab tests and get to the bottom of this matter soon,” she said.

        healthcareasia.org

Veterinarian Department says they will investigate these claims

The Veterinarian Department will investigate claims of errant poultry traders resorting to dying their farm chickens with yellow industrial pigment to pass them of as 'kampung chicken'.

Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister says they cannot comment on the issue at the moment

Minister of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yakob said that he would direct his officers to probe the claims, but chose not to comment on the issue at the moment.

        lipstiq.com

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs says they can only take action when the allegations are tested and confirmed

In the meantime, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Hasan Malek said the ministry could only act against these chicken traders if tests were being carried out on the affected chickens to confirm the presence of the food dye.

How to differentiate: Kampung chicken is a light, not bright, yellow colour and is smaller in size than the average chicken

How to differentiate: Kampung chicken is a light, not bright, yellow colour and is smaller in size than the average chicken

Image via freebeerforyorky.com

Another problem consumers face is that they are duped into believing that the average sized farm chickens, coloured yellow, are the kampung chicken variety. The lean kampung chicken is naturally light yellow in colour.

        thestar.com.my

“Some of the chickens are strangely more yellow in the city markets. The kampung chickens sold here are also very big."

        thestar.com.my

"I grew up in the village and I know for sure that kampung chicken are smaller and their skin a light yellow," a consumer said.

        thestar.com.my

“Farm-bred chicken is priced at RM8.50per kg while plucked kampung chicken is RM12.50 per kg.

        thestar.com.my

In the past chickens were fed more corn but not any more. The chicken feed now consists of only 30% corn, and is mixed with grains and soy. “That is why the chickens skin is no longer yellow in colour”.
