One of the women, Rubee Woo revealed through a Facebook post that the camera was found in the bathroom of the apartment.The women had booked their accommodation through Booking.com. At the time of writing, the post has garnered over 8,000 shares on Facebook.

One of the victims was preparing to take a shower just past midnight when she noticed something strange about the socket in the bathroom

According to Portugese media The Renaissance, the victim felt "there was something wrong" about the socket and looked closer at it. She then discovered the hidden camera after inspecting the socket with her phone's flashlight.

The women then contacted the local police, but feared retaliation from the apartment owner – who was staying one floor below them. "While waiting for the police, we heard noises downstairs and we were frightened because the owner might have realised that we found the camera," Rubee said in her Facebook post.

Local police arrived at the apartment after 30 minutes and began to remove the camera from the bathroom

"After the police removed the camera, we packed our things and handed the apartment key to them," Rubee said. However, the women saw the apartment owner having a smoke with the police officers before they left, and had a hunch that no action would be taken over the matter. "When we were leaving the place, the owner didn't dare to look us in the eye.. We are 200% sure that the camera was set up by him," Rubee added.

The victims decided to lodge a police report on the following day to ensure action is taken over the incident

"We lodged a police report because we don't want the incident to be dismissed just because we're Asians," Rubee wrote, before adding that the women hope the apartment owner will face prosecution for the hidden camera. One of the victims also told SAYS that there has yet to be an official statement from local police over the matter. However, the evidence has been sent for investigations.

Rubee also warned the public about booking accommodations online based on reviews, as the apartment booked by the victims was rated 9.2 on the website. "Don't believe the ratings online no matter how high they are, don't trust the owners no matter how friendly they are," she wrote in the post.

Nonetheless, Booking.com had arranged another hotel for the women on the night of the incident following their report

In addition, Booking.com also said in a statement dated 25 June that the apartment in question has been suspended from the website pending an investigation into the incident. "We do not tolerate improper behaviour from our accommodation partners and in the very rare instance that we're made aware of such a situation, we investigate immediately. We are refunding this customer in full and are covering any extra costs related to their relocation," the company said in its statement.

"Respect The Hustle" — Cheeky Monkey Steals Banana From Hawker Stall & Casually Eats It

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

There's no denying that, at moments, we will go through anything just to get the food we've been craving.
Little did we know, animals operate with the same mindset too.

A recent TikTok has been going viral for showing one monkey go to such lengths to get himself a banana. In a 19-second clip that was uploaded by user @118stormbaytaxi, a monkey can be seen casually lingering atop a cornered food stall in a hawker centre. Using pure stealth and skill, the monkey then bends down at one end of the stall to grab a bunch of bananas. Slowly, yet carefully, the monkey rips off one banana before climbing to a beam high above the hawker stall to munch on the fruit. While there has been no confirmation, one commenter stated that the surroundings bear similarity to the Changi Village Hawker Centre in Singapore.What makes the clip even more delightful is the Mission Impossible theme song playing in the background of the video, and the creator plastering a caption on the screen reading, "Respect the hustle."

Garnering massive attention online, the clip has since received over 200,000 views at the time of writing

Complimenting the monkey on its moves, one user jokingly stated that the animal was polite to take just one banana. Another user even said in jest that the monkey is collecting the bananas one by one to create a long-term supply.

Nevertheless, the vast majority of responders couldn't help but make jokes at the expense of the video.From saying that this is the true "service tax" to others saying that the monkey may actually be the supplier, some felt the creature was taking its rightful cut."Quality manager doing routine sample checks," said one person in reference to the monkey.

One of the commenters even asked the TikTok user who posted the clip whether the stall owner was informed about the matter, to which the user jokingly responded saying that there was a staring contest between the stall aunty and the monkey.

Fire Breaks Out After Two Container Ships Collide At Westport, Port Klang

Officials Investigate Collision As Vessel Continues To Burn At Westport, Port Klang

Image via thestar.com.my

Authorities are still investigating the collision between two cargo vessels at Westport here, said Port Klang Authority (PKA) chairman Tan Sri Kong Cho Ha. There were no casualties in the collision on Tuesday which involved MV San Felipe and MV Al Riffa, he added.

        thestar.com.my

Based on initial reports, the incident happened when San Felipe “made contact” with Al Riffa when it was approaching the berth. A fire started on both vessels after the collision, but the one on Al Riffa was extinguished at 8.30pm yesterday.

        thestar.com.my

Kong said that San Felipe was towed to a secure area as the fire on it was still burning. “MV San Felipe was also taken away to avoid obstructing other vessels. “The authorities are working hard to extinguish the fire,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

He explained that the authorities were having trouble extinguishing the fire on San Felipe because some of the cargo might be combustible goods. Kong also praised the fast response of relevant personnel to the collision.

        thestar.com.my

Westports Malaysia chief operating officer Ian James said: “Even though we have not had an incident like this before, the relevant authorities’ response to the incident is a testament to the training and effort we have put into preparing for situations like this.” He added that the act of containing the fire fast saved the lives of those onboard the vessels.

        thestar.com.my

Late on Tuesday night, 28 October, couple of container ships brushed against each other at Westport in Port Klang, causing a fire to break out onboard both the vessels, The Star reported

The Star Online cited Port Klang Authority chairman Tan Sri Kong Cho Ha as confirming the incident as taking place at the shipping hub’s Westport around 8pm. No one has yet been reported injured.

        themalaymailonline.com

“The incident happened at Wharf 20 and three fire engines with 21 personnel from the Port Klang, Kota Raja and Andalas fire stations rushed to the scene to prevent the fire from getting out of control,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

One of the ships had to be towed away from the Westport about one kilometre away to prevent the fire from spreading to other areas of the wharf

A Port Klang Fire and Rescue Services Department spokesman added that the fire on board of one of the ships named Al Riffa began raging and the vessel had to be towed 1km away from the wharf for safety reasons.

        thestar.com.my

He added that the other ship, the San Felipe, was left on the wharf as the fire was manageable and quickly extinguished. “Several tug-boats were sent to the scene to douse the fire using seawater,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

Port Klang Authority chairman Tan Sri Kong Cho Ha said no one was injured in the incident and an investigation into the incident has been launched

This Bio-Organic Battery Charger Promises To Charge Your Smartphone In 30 Seconds

StoreDot is developing a technology that promises to charge your smartphone battery in 30 seconds. They even unveiled a prototype at Microsoft's Think Next conference in Tel Aviv.

The Storedot biological semiconductor battery promises to fully charge your phone in 30 seconds.
Image via stuff.co.nz

StoreDot's prototype is able to completely recharge a smartphone battery from 0%-100% in just 30 seconds. It relies on bio-organic nanodots, tiny conductive crystals that help enable rapid charging.

        mashable.com

The pack, which premiered Monday at a Microsoft Think Next event in Tel Aviv, relies on microscopic magnets called "nanodots" to enable its game-changing charger. The prototype attaches to a phone that is then juiced up in half a minute.

        huffingtonpost.com

Image via cloudfront.net

The secret to StoreDot’s technology is quantum dots, which are about 60 times smaller than a single HIV virion

The “dots” are actually peptides that have been altered to have certain properties, like optical or the ability to generate charge when strained. Only two peptides are connected and they have a crystalline structure that aids in their stability and ability to hold a charge, which should last through thousands of charge cycles.

        iflscience.com

Peptides are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds. The covalent chemical bonds are formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another.

        wikipedia.org

The prototype is currently the size of a laptop charger, but StoreDot says they're working on reducing its size

Image via smh.com.au

Currently, the device is closer in size to a laptop charger than a smartphone charger, but the company says it expects the final product will be about the size of a typical smartphone battery.

        mashable.com

So far, the prototype only works with Samsung Galaxy 4. StoreDot says that it's focusing on getting its technology to work with other phones.

The company showed how its technology can be used to fully charge a nearly empty Samsung Galaxy S4 within 30 seconds -- an exceedingly brief time in a world dominated by chargers that can take hours to replenish battery life.

        cnet.com

The charger is expected to cost about USD30 and will be commercially released in late 2016

It took less than 30 seconds to take the Galaxy S4's battery indicator from the red zone to being fully charged
Image via hothardware.com

The company is shooting for a commercial debut towards the end of 2016 with an estimated price of up to $30. That's comparatively expensive for a charger, but perhaps a small price to pay for 30-second charging.

[FACT OR FAKE #72] Is This One-Eyed 'Cyclops' Baby The Islamic Antichrist?

Recently, images of a one-eyed baby purported to be the Dajjal — the Islamic Antichrist —have been circulating online, garnering tens of thousands of views. Their goal, it seems, is to convince Muslims that the end is nigh and only the righteous will be saved.

An image of a child born with a rare birth defect called cyclopia — she has no nose, and only one eye — has recently made the rounds on both mainstream social media. The claim is that the girl was recently born in Israel and is the false, one-eyed prophet Masih ad-Dajjal who more or less signals end times.

        washingtonpost.com

While it's unclear who is behind the circulation of these images, Vocativ.com reports that analysts told that similar end-of-times memes have helped ISIS recruit foreign fighters in Iraq and Syria

“The ideological core of the Islamic State, they really believe this stuff,” says Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi, a fellow at the Middle East Forum, a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. “It’s definitely a part of outreach to new recruits.”

        vocativ.com

Is this true? Is the one-eyed baby really the Islamic Antichrist? How much of this is FACT or FAKE?

Because there are two angles to this story, we are going to break down this week's FACT or FAKE in two parts. Firstly, we will establish the origin of the said image, and its authenticity, and later we will determine the claim regarding the baby being Dajjal.

FACT: The photograph, taken in the year 2006, is real. It actually features a one-eyed baby born with cyclopia, a rare form of holoprosencephaly and is a congenital disorder.

A child with the rare birth defect “Cyclopia” born in 2006 in Chennai India. The child died less than a month later.
Image via scottcarney.com

Scott Carney, the man who originally took the girl's photos, explained on his blog, the picture was taken in Chennai, India, eight years ago, and the girl died before she reached a month old.

An excerpt from Scott's WIRED story dated 20 September 2006:

The child was never given a name and was listed in the hospital's register as "baby of Gomathi." She died in the first week of September of complications arising from her condition, known as cyclopia, having survived longer than any other known similar case.
...
Wired News first reported on the child's condition in August. Cyclopia is a rare defect that affects about one child in a million. The child's brain had been fused into a single hemisphere; she had no nose and only a single eye socket in the center of her forehead.
...
An internal hospital report seen by Wired News stated that there were only two potential causes: Either it was the result of an undetected chromosomal disorder or the child's mother had been exposed to cyclopamine, an experimental drug being researched by several U.S. pharmaceutical companies as a potential treatment for cancer.
....
Cyclopamine is available through several drug suppliers in the United States and Canada.

        wired.com

FAKE: NO, the baby is NOT Dajjal, nor a herald of the apocalypse

As most Islamic scholars have pointed out, the descriptions of Dajjal in the Hadith refer to a man (not a woman) who is blind in one eye (not a cyclops). So even a literal interpretation of the text repudiates claims of it being Dajjal.

        vocativ.com

But some people take the photos seriously. Indeed, as Singaporean newspaper The Straits Times recently noted, militants in Indonesia have become taken with the idea that Syria is the land of the Last Caliphate, “where the Final Battle, or Armageddon, against Dajjal, or the false messiah, will ensue.”

        straitstimes.com

"It's important to combat the lies that spread across the Internet"

The militant group ISIS has an extensive social media network and is savvy about deploying false information to encourage converts to fight on their behalf. It behooves us–or at least me–to speak up when I see images misused by people who want to bring about their own version of the apocalypse and destroy any hope that there might be for peace in the middle east.

Taiwan Health Dept Finds Carcinogen In 2  Instant Noodle Brands From Malaysia & Indonesia

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

Taipei's Department of Health has announced that it had detected a cancer-causing substance in two instant noodle brands from Malaysia and Indonesia

According to Taiwan News, in a statement issued on Monday, 24 April, the city's health department said it made random inspections of 30 instant noodle products in supermarkets, convenience stores, traditional wet markets, Southeast Asian food stores, and wholesale importers this year.Of the products tested, 25 were imported and five were domestically made.

The results revealed that one product each from Malaysia and  Indonesia were found to contain excessive levels of ethylene oxide, making the products carcinogenic

The department explained that ethylene oxide is a chemical compound that could increase one's risk of developing lymphoma and leukaemia.The level of ethylene oxide in these two products — Malaysian brand Ah Lai's 'White Curry Noodles' and Indonesian brand Indomie's 'Special Chicken Flavour' — exceeded the allowed pesticide residue standards set by Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare.The health department added that their testing detected ethylene oxide in both the noodles and flavour packet of the Malaysian product, but in only the flavour packet of the Indonesian product.

In response, the ministry has ordered for the products to be removed from store shelves immediately

The Taipei Department of Health also said the importers of the products will face fines of between TWD60,000 (RM8,680) and TWD200 million (RM29 million) for breaching the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation.According Bernama, Taiwan's Toxic and Chemical Substances Bureau under the Environmental Protection Administration also stated that ethylene oxide is poisonous when consumed or inhaled.Aside from increasing the risk of lymphoma and leukaemia, ethylene oxide may also seriously irritate the skin and eyes of anyone who comes into contact with the substance and even trigger birth and hereditary defects.

In 2021, Hong Kong also found cancer-causing substances in 60 common brands of biscuits sold in the city:

Got an Android Phone? Try Google's 'Open Project' With Friends.

WATCH: "Open Project"

The logical evolution of services like Chromecast and Airplay is an interactive setup that allows you to control the app from either screen. Fortunately, it looks like Google is already on top of [...]

About "Open Project"

Google Research today revealed a project for transferring mobile content to a remote display, just by using the smartphone camera. In other words, this system lets you project without a projector.

        thenextweb.com

Open Project is an end-to-end framework that allows you to “project” a native mobile application onto an arbitrary display using a smartphone camera.

        techcrunch.com

This is still in a very early stage of course. Nevertheless, Google notes the display can range from a PC or laptop monitor, to a TV connected to the Internet, to a public wall-sized display.

        blogspot.in

How Google Research describes the project’s findings so far:

Open Project is an open, scalable, web-based framework for enabling mobile sharing and collaboration. It can turn any computer display projectable instantaneously and without deployment.

        blogspot.in

Developers can add support for Open Project in native mobile apps by simply linking a library, requiring no additional hardware or sensors.

        techcrunch.com

A number of companies are currently looking at how they can use large touch screens to make collaboration easier

Adobe’s Project Context, for example, uses a table with a built-in touch screen and a wall of large screens in the room to allow its users to create magazine layouts.

        techcrunch.com

Microsoft, too, is working on similar setups based on Windows 8 and acquired Perceptive Pixel last year to experiment with large touch displays.

SIS: It's Misogynistic To Set Standard For What's "Appropriate & Proper" For Women To Wear

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

Today, 24 February, Sisters In Islam (SIS), a non-governmental organisation working towards advancing the rights of Muslim women, called for the moral policing of women's clothing to be stopped

In a statement, the Muslim women's rights group slammed the federal government for its silence amidst the rise of moral policing on women's clothing in the country.There have been multiple reports of women being subjected to policing on their attire, SIS said.According to the group, the statement is in response to the news of the Terengganu government's decision to take action against women wearing "revealing" clothes by not observing the "Syariah compliant" dress code as well as that of a woman expelled from the Dewan Rakyat for wearing a knee-length skirt with a slit.Both cases happened on the same day, 20 February.

Noting that it opposes efforts to force women to dress based on arbitrary and restrictive rules and standards, SIS said that it is disconcerting to see moral policing continuously happening here

"SIS opposes any efforts by the government, public institutions, or the private sector to force women to dress according to their rules and standards. This is a form of violation and harassment to women to choose their attire and undermines their autonomy and dignity," read the group's statement.In the statement, SIS also strongly condemned any attempts to publicly humiliate women and impose restrictive dress codes on them, as shown in the Terengganu government's decision and the Dewan Rakyat security officer who expelled the woman merely for her attire."This imposition of dress codes degrades women and creates a climate of fear and insecurity as women feel like they are constantly monitored and judged by society in public spaces," it said.

According to the Muslim women's rights group, it is imperative that both public and private institutions, as well as individuals, put an end to this obsession with controlling women, particularly with how they dress

			It is misogynistic and sexist to set a standard for what is 'appropriate' and 'proper' for women.

Khairy Finds Out What “Daddy” Means After Asking Why People Keep Calling Him That

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin came pretty close to breaking the Internet when he posted this seemingly innocent tweet:

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Yeeaa... it definitely doesn't mean "uncle", KJ. :p
If you already know what this "daddy" thing is about, then it's no surprise that the tweet blew up, with many attempting to explain to Khairy what the label actually meant. Some went down the troll-y route:

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Others went right to the naughty punchline, with posh and localised alternatives:

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

For those of you who still don't get it, "daddy" in this context doesn't mean a literal father. Rather, it's used to refer to an attractive older man with flirtatious - and sometimes, kinky - connotations.

Image via giphy.com

Lately, it's also a term frequently used by fans of certain pop culture communities, e.g. the CW TV show Riverdale, to affectionately refer to their faves. Yeah, kids these days are confusing.

On that note, a select few pointed out that this could be construed as sexual harassment

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

But Khairy doesn't seem at all fazed by the attention and even seems to have taken it all in stride, because... well, just look at what he replied to a follower's tweet over the Raya break:

Image via Twitter @Khairykj

Speaking of Raya, he also modelled his baju raya while trying to emulate hip #OOTD poses on his Instagram yesterday

Image via Instagram @khairykj

Just a few months ago, Khairy made a dad joke that earned him the nickname "YBae":

                Khairy Jamaluddin Just Made A "Poyo" Dad Joke And It Has Been Retweeted Over 25,000 Times

Man Gets RM4,000 Fine For Pulling His Colleague's Bra Strap In PJ Because She Ignored Him

A 25-year-old Nepalese man was slapped with a RM4,000 fine yesterday, 3 December, for pulling his colleague's bra strap

Bernama reported that the man was fined in default five months' jail at the Petaling Jaya Magistrate's Court yesterday.The man, named Pratap Thokar, pleaded guilty to a charge of using a gesture intended to insult the modesty of the 23-year-old victim under Section 509 of the Penal Code.The offence carries a maximum jail sentence of five years and a fine.

The incident happened at a Secret Recipe cake factory in Taman Mayang, Kelana Jaya on 16 December 2018

Pratap reportedly pulled the victim's bra strap after she refused to acknowledge his calls, according to Utusan Online. They were both working at the cake section of the plant.

Pratap pleaded to Magistrate Mohamad Ikhwan Mohd Nasir for a lighter sentence prior to the ruling

Pratap, who was not represented in court, argued that he only pulled the victim's bra strap to gain her attention. However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Alia Sumayyah Amran asked the court to give a deterrent sentence against Pratap for what he did. "I urge the court to take into consideration the fact that the accused has disrupted the peace of the workers at the plant," she said.


Malaysia Plans To Fine Grab RM86 Million For Abusing Its Dominant Market Position

Grab is facing a RM86.8 million fine after the Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) found that the e-hailing service company breached the Competition Act 2010

MyCC ruled that Singapore-based Grab had abused its dominant position in the local market by imposing restrictive policies that prevented its drivers from promoting and providing advertising services to its competitors.According to New Straits Times, this had harmed competition in the e-hailing market, discouraging new market entry and expansion for Grab's existing and future competitors.

However, MyCC chief executive officer Iskandar Ismail stressed that this was merely a proposal and not the final decision

MyCC has imposed a daily penalty of RM15,000 that begins today, 3 October, should Grab fail to take remedial actions as directed by the commission in addressing the competition concerns."They have 30 days to present their defence and until then, the penalty of RM15,000 will run continuously," said Ismail in a press conference this morning, reported The Star.He also said that once the defence is made, there is a possibility for the fine to increase or decrease.

In response to the proposal, Grab has said that they are surprised by the proposed decision

"We believe that it is common practice for businesses to decide upon the availability and type of third-party advertising on their respective platforms, tailored according to consumers' needs and feedback," said a Grab spokesperson in a press release.While currently heeding legal counsel, they said that they will be submitting their written representations by 27 November.

Following its acquisition of Uber in March 2018, Grab has been under monitor by the MyCC for possible anti-competitive behaviour

Last September, Singapore fined both Grab and Uber a total of SGD13 million (RM39 million) saying that the merger drove prices up, according to CNA.The Philippines fined them 16 million pesos (RM1 million) a month later, criticising the firms for completing the merger too soon and for a dip in service quality.


It's Weird But This Funeral Home Really Created A Drive-Thru Option For Mourners

In Saginaw, Michigan, a state in the Great Lakes region of the Midwestern US, one funeral home called Paradise Funeral Chapel has introduced a new addition: a drive-thru casket viewing option

Businesses from banks to fast-food restaurants have long served patrons by offering drive-thru windows. Now a Saginaw funeral home is offering the convenience of drive-thru viewing. Paradise Funeral Chapel, 3100 S. Washington, has installed a drive-thru window allowing people to drive up to pay their last respects.

        mlive.com

According to reports, the said funeral home installed the window to display deceased's body on a raised and tilted platform for the casket, all in a specially designed area inside the building

They get three minutes to sign the guestbook and say goodbye, Ivan Phillips, president of the Paradise Funeral Chapel in Saginaw, Michigan, told ABC News today. “Some people don’t like funeral homes,” he said. “They think they’re gloomy or dark. And then you have those who are in wheelchairs. I thought a drive-thru would be a perfect place for those individuals.”

Funeral home President Ivan E. Phillips said he's had the idea for years, but an incident last year made him turn the idea into reality. That's when an elderly woman who was in a nursing home could not make it inside the chapel to visit her husband or attend his funeral, Phillips said. "She would've got a chance to see him if we had this, so I knew we had to move forward," Phillips said.

        mlive.com

"Considering the elderly generation that we service, so many people are afraid of funeral homes. So why not be able to do it from your car?" he asked.

        opposingviews.com

Phillips said he spent a lot of time developing the Saginaw funeral home's drive-thru in order to respect the deceased. It's up to each family to decide if they want to use the window as part of a funeral viewing. For those who do, the drive-up window is only used when indoor visitation is not taking place, he said.

        mlive.com

The viewing area cannot be seen from inside of the funeral home, and the drive-thru window is covered by curtains and only opens to reveal the deceased in their casket when a vehicle drives up

People drive up to the window, which is covered with curtains that automatically open when a car pulls up, to pay their final respects. They then get three minutes to view a body on display.

The window is actually a sheet of bulletproof glass covered by curtains connected to a motion sensor. “Basically, when you come onto our premises, there are arrows leading up to the drive-thru,” Phillips said. “You pull forward and the drapes begin to open and you will be able to view the loved one.”

        yahoo.com

There’s also a registry book to sign and a memorial box for anyone who wants to drop off a sympathy card. Phillips introduced the new window on Sunday. He hasn’t yet used it, but hopes it gives people who ordinarily wouldn’t stop by a funeral a chance to do so. It will be a free, optional service for families.

        go.com

There is also a slot to deposit memory items or envelopes and a place to sign a memory book. Music plays during the three-minute viewing.

It's Official: GRS Takes Sabah But No Decision Yet On Who Will Be The Next CM

The Election Commission (SPR) has now announced the official results of the 16th Sabah state Elections, in which Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) claimed a majority by winning 38 out of 73 state assembly seats

Warisan Plus managed to win 32 seats with the remaining three going to three independent candidates.The official results were announced close to midnight on 26 September 2020. Prior to which there were some last-minute turnarounds, which saw Warisan and GRS tied at 25 seats each for a while.

Image via myundi

GRS was formed on 12 September and is made up of several parties

"For starters, those in this coalition will be PN, BN, and PBS," Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had said this on 12 September while announcing the formation of the grand coalition.For the record, PN stands for Perikatan Nasional, the ruling unofficial coalition in the Federal Government that is led by Bersatu and is supported by Barisan Nasional (BN), Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS), Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), and Gabungan Bersatu Sabah (GBS) since March 2020.BN is Barisan Nasional that consists of United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), and Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS).PBS stands for Parti Bersatu Sabah, which is a member party of GBS together with Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR), PBRS, and allied member Parti Progresif Sabah (SAPP).

However, while GRS has won the state, the coalition led by Muhyiddin has yet to decide on who will be the new Chief Minister of Sabah

Back on 12 September, the Prime Minister had hinted that if GRS forms the government in Sabah, Bersatu's Hajiji Mohd Noor will be a potential candidate for the post of the Sabah CM. However, UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had said that any candidate will be determined after the election is over.

BN memutuskan bahawa Ketua Menteri Sabah hanya akan dipilih oleh ADUN BN dan rakan kongsi politik apabila cukup bilangan kerusi bagi pembentukan kerajaan negeri yang baharu.— Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (@DrZahidHamidi) September 12, 2020

The UMNO president has since said that he leaves it entirely to the Sabah State Assemblymen (ADUN) to determine the CM candidate

According to Zahid Hamidi, while GRS should hold talks on the matter, norms dictate that candidate from the party with the most seats will be appointed the new chief minister."Let the people of Sabah determine the chief minister without any clue that shows who the person is either from Kuala Lumpur or Putrajaya," he said, as reported by Astro Awani.

Meanwhile, following the victory, PM Muhyiddin took to his official Facebook page where he addressed the voters in a live broadcast

According to him, GRS will deliver on the pledges made during campaigning in Sabah."As the Prime Minister, whatever I have said during the Sabah campaign, God-willing, I will fulfil them soonest," he said while thanking supporters and volunteers.

Malaysian Retail Workers Reveal The Most WTF Thing They've Seen Their Customers Do

In retail, you meet hundreds of people i.e. customers every single day. The good, the bad, and the simply weird... you've gotta deal with them all the same.

Image via SAYS

Having worked several part-time retail jobs through my college and uni years (photo above, circa 2011 with co-workers at my first retail job), I can attest that you eventually learn to brush off the yelling, the unreasonable demands, and the ugly side of humanity. Forgive and forget, right? :D

On that note, every retail worker has that one WTF customer encounter that they will never forget for the days to come. So I asked some friends from my retail days to share their stories:

Note: All pictures used are for illustration purposes only and names may have been changed to protect the source's privacy.

1. "Adik, is this chicken halal?"

Image via Braman's Wanderings

"I worked at a restaurant right after SPM. This couple came in, ordered their food, the food got there on time, they finished it. When I brought them the check, the man suddenly asked me, "Adik, ayam ni halal ke?" (Miss, is this chicken halal?)My eyes flicked toward their plates, where the chicken was stripped to the bones, and before I could control myself, I replied, "Pakcik dah habis makan baru tanya ayam ni halal ke tak?" (You've already finished eating, then only you asked if the chicken is halal?). Woops."- Alia'a

2. "I had to hide in the storeroom for an hour because this guy was stalking and following me around the store."

"Busy weekend, I was flitting around the store doing a few things at once when my supervisor suddenly called me over from the front of the store. In a low voice, she told me that this one guy has been tailing me all over the store for a long time. Pointed him out, and I realised that he's one of those people who've been in the shop for awhile.Anyway, my supervisor made me hide in the storeroom, and said that she will text me when he's gone, so I did. About 20 minutes later, I got bored, so I thought I'd peek out of the door to see if he's gone... AND HE WAS STANDING A FEW METRES AWAY STARING AT ME. I had a mini heart attack, slammed the door shut, locked it, and sat against the door because I thought he was gonna barge his way in. I was in there for at least an hour, I think, before my supervisor gave me the all-clear to come back out. Oh, and there was a bunting blocking right in the middle of the doorway when I opened the door. I think it might've been him. Ugh."- Amanda

3. "I never thought that I'd be putting a shoe on a customer like she's Cinderella."

Photo for illustration purposes only.
Image via Betsie van der Meer / Getty Images

"I'm used to demanding customers, coz I guess most luxury brand customers are like that. But this one is demanding level 999 man. I don't know who she is, but she came in expecting to be treated like a princess. She just sat on the sofa, pointed out the bags and shoes she wants, and waited for us to bring them over to her so she can look at them. When she tried on shoes, we had to put it on for her because she didn't want to bend down.I even had to kneel down so she can sign the credit card check, coz she was still sitting down. In case you're wondering, she spent almost RM10k that day." - Hadi

4. "She spent an hour measuring a RM5 shirt against every male employee on that floor."

"I used to work at a department store. One day, this woman went around measuring a shirt against every male employee on that floor because she wanted to buy it for her nephew. She must have spent at least an hour on that, and the shirt was only RM5 (that's two hours of my pay)! She didn't buy it that day, but she came back the next day and DID THE SAME THING. She bought it in the end."- Cedric

5. "I got yelled at for informing a customer that our fitting rooms are closed for the day."

Image via Yelp

"It's 10 minutes to closing, so the cashiers already announced over the intercom that 'the fitting room is closed'. I was in charge of the fitting room that day, so that's my cue to block off entry to the fitting rooms so I can straighten them out, fold and hang up all the clothes that have piled up etc.Then this woman marched over with a FULL bag of clothes and just walked past the barricades. I ran over to inform her that our fitting rooms are closed (politely, of course, with a "sorry, ma'am")... and she puffed up her face and started yelling in my face for being 'rude' and 'lazy' and 'inconsiderate' yadda yadda yadda.I wish I could say we successfully kicked her out, but I was tired and couldn't be bothered so I just let her. We went home at 11pm that day." - Sarah

6. "She wanted to buy everything... until she saw the amount of money she had to pay. Then she wanted to cancel everything."

"Young woman, looks like she's in her late teens, walks in 15 minutes before the store closes. Picked out quite a lot of stuff, tried everything on, and wanted to get everything. Okay, I thought, that's not so bad. At the cash register, after we scanned everything, she saw the total amount and got worried. So she decided to cancel item after item, while we recalculated the amount over and over until we got to the amount she was willing to pay."- Christine

7. "If you think sex in fitting rooms only happen in America or 'The Sims', let me tell you a story..."

Image via WDish

"I was in charge of the fitting rooms that day. This couple - who'd apparently gone into a fitting room together - walks out, deposits clothes onto the counter, and out of the shop. Not suspecting anything, I went into the room to make sure it's clean before letting another customer in... and felt this musky humidity that meant some hanky panky definitely went on in there. Don't make me say it, we're all adults, you know what I'm talking about. There were also clumps of suspiciously sticky tissue paper on the floor, so you make your own conclusions la ha." - Ben

8. "Aunty keyed in her credit card pin number in the 'Tips' screen, then accused me of double-charging her when I stopped her from charging herself hundreds of ringgit."

"Aunty wanted to pay with her credit card, but before I could type in the amount, she shoved it into the machine. So I removed the card, asked her to wait, then slid the card back in. She then accused me of "double-swiping", so I had to explain that a receipt will be issued if there's a transaction. Keep in mind that this is the new credit card machine that requires a pin number for the transaction to be authorised. That's not all. She took control of the machine and almost charged herself a few hundred ringgit because she keyed in her pin number in the 'Tips' screen, which comes before the pin key-in and we usually just press the OK button to ignore. I stopped her midway, erased her pin number, and helped her get to the key-in-pin screen. She flipped AGAIN, saying, "Show me the transaction history! I know you double charged me!" Thankfully, she did not shout and we eventually got things settled, but damn, that's one impatient lady."- Tara

9. "Aunty insisted on opening a sealed item because the samples on display did not have the colour she wanted."

Image via Life's Tiny Miracles

"The clothing store I work at, we put out samples so customers can try them on for size. Note that we're not supposed to unseal packed items unless a customer had paid for it, it's storewide policy and obviously, I don't set those.Customers are usually very understanding when we tell them that, but there was this one auntie who 'die die' also insisted on opening the package... because the testers did not have the colour she wanted."- Rachel

10. "Customer put her delicate top into the washing machine. She came back and demanded for a new one, padahal the top looked like roti jala already."

"This was when I was working at [expensive branded clothing store]. This customer purchased a RM300+ top, made of delicate material. One week later, she brought it back and demanded for a new one, because she put it in the washing machine. The best thing is... the top looked like roti jala already. She kept saying it's my fault that I didn't tell her the top cannot be machine-washed. Gurl, even if you didn't see the warning on the wash care tag, it's common sense! You don't put delicate lace into a washing machine." - Syazwanee

11. "She started putting on the clothes, layer after layer, while she was walking to the fitting room."

Image via Today Online

"This lady came into the store with her boyfriend and started picking out a number of clothes. Then she started putting them on, layer after layer, on the way to the fitting room. There was actually this one moment where she couldn't fit into the last layer, because she was wearing so many layers of clothing! That's not even the weirdest part. When she started taking off the layers, she kept complaining to her boyfriend that's she's fat... until she reached the innermost layer. She decided to buy that one because it made her look skinny. WHAT EVEN."- Esther

12. "A customer came to the store three times in one day to yell at us because we weren't able to transfer an old software into his new MacBook. I had to resign because of that."

"This happened in the morning. Male customer in his 30s came in to purchase a MacBook. He asked if we could transfer Microsoft Word from his old MacBook into the new MacBook. Here's the thing - his MS Word is an old version which is not supported on the new Mac OS. Pretty simple to understand, right? We explained that to him and even suggested that he get a new version of Microsoft Office, but he insisted on using the old version and refused to pay unless we transferred it to the new MacBook. Again, I explained why it couldn't be done, as did the technician on-duty. Then he pointed to me and asked how long I've been working here (one year plus), said that he's been using Apple products for three years, and called me "stupid" and "idiot". He left without buying the MacBook. He came back again in the afternoon, and we explained the same thing to him again. He refused to accept our explanation, insulted us, then demanded to speak to the manager. So we called our manager, and the guy straight up told him that my service is bad and that I should apologise to him. Seriously?! We've been nothing but polite to him, so I told him I won't be apologising because I did nothing wrong. He wanted to file a formal complaint with corporate, so I gave him my name card and urged him to go ahead. He didn't file a complaint, but he came back again at night and complained to my manager about me. The next day, I got pulled in for a chat, where my manager indirectly told me that I should resign ("Don't you think that you're not very suitable to be in the service line?")... so I did. Good riddance." - Sharen

13. "This guy still messages me 'til this day when he has issues with a MacBook he bought in 2010. I left the job in 2012."

"Way back in 2010, this guy bought his first Mac - a MacBook White - from me. He added me on Facebook the day he bought it, and ever since then, he'd talk to me on Messenger about ANYTHING to do with his Mac, even about basic commands like 'copy and paste'. When he found out that I left KL to go back to Penang in 2011, he called me up, telling me he was upset that I was leaving, that he had no one to rely on for any issues with his Mac. I made it very clear then that I'm not the only Mac salesman in KL. I took up the same position in another Apple reseller in Penang, and he actually travelled to Penang once to get my recommendation on what keyboard cover he should get for his Mac. Not a software installation, RAM upgrade, new OS upgrade... a keyboard cover. He called me up again when I left the job in 2012, to ask me why I left. He still sends me messages to this day. Me being weirded out by this may seem mean, but you have to take into account that it's been SEVEN YEARS."- Razz

14. "We had a lot of a**holes who kept smoking in areas they weren't supposed to smoke in."

"When I worked at this restaurant/bar, we had a lot of a**holes who kept smoking in areas they weren't supposed to smoke in. For some reason, this woman is the one I remember the most. She started lighting up inside the restaurant - obviously a 'No Smoking' zone - so we told her to either stop smoking or continue outside at the smoking area. She killed her ciggy. Five minutes later, she lit up another. Inside. Again." - Jason

15. "'Medium is too small. Got XL ah?' ... We were talking about steak."

"A group of friends came in and ordered the Ribeye Steak. When I asked one of them the doneness of his steak, he answered medium. His friend suddenly said, 'Medium too small. Got XL ah?' I thought he was joking, but his face was dead serious."- Jeevan

16. "A customer bought me lunch, then tried to convince me to join his MLM scheme."

"We had this regular customer, I think he's quite rich lah right, coz he'd buy thousands of ringgit worth of CDs and Blu-rays and pay it all in cash. He's not a horrible person or anything, but I'll never forgive him for trying to seduce me into an MLM scheme with food. I was still a gullible SPM-leaver who'd just started working, so when he offered to buy me lunch, I went lah coz I was afraid I might offend him if I didn't. Before I knew it, he was pulling out these [MLM company] brochures out of his man-purse and started talking about how much money I could make if I join his programme. Internally, I was like, "???!!!!" but I just smiled and nodded and ate very fast so I could get away from there. I felt a little guilty for declining his offer coz he paid for my food, but I've avoided him ever since."- Wai Kit

Flight On Mission To Evacuate Stranded Malaysians In Wuhan Is Safely Back In KLIA2

The AirAsia aircraft sent to evacuate the 141 Malaysians and their families in Wuhan, the epicentre of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak, has arrived safely back at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) today, 4 February

According to Malay Mail, the flight chartered specifically for the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) mission by the government landed at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport yesterday evening, 3 February.The 141 evacuees, comprising of 116 Malaysians and 25 of their non-citizen spouses and children, had to pass an exit health screening by the health authorities in the Chinese airport before they were allowed to board the aircraft.The flight arrived back home this morning at 5.57am.

Accompanying the 12 crew members onboard the AK8264 flight for the repatriation mission were eight HADR mission personnel and six officers from the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing

According to Free Malaysia Today, the aircraft also brought with it 500,000 pairs of rubber gloves as a contribution to the Chinese government in an effort to contain the 2019-nCoV outbreak in the country.

Earlier yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said all 167 people onboard the plane - the evacuees, crew, and even the mission personnel - would be required to go through a health screening at the Air Disaster Unit (ADU) upon arrival back in klia2

"Those found to have the symptoms will immediately be sent to a hospital, while others will be taken by bus to a monitoring centre where they will be under observation for 14 days," said the Central Disaster Managament Committee chairman, as quoted by The Star.

The arrival of the passengers of AK8264 at klia2 was carefully overseen by the Ministry of Health to prevent the spread of infection

Meanwhile in Indonesia, evacuees from Wuhan received quite a welcome when they arrived at Hang Nadim International Airport in Batam on Sunday, 2 February

According to The Straits Times, Indonesian authorities have said extra measures will be taken to prevent the spread of the virus in the country.However, the aggressive move of spraying passengers with disinfectant upon arrival has netizens questioning its necessity."Largely frivolous move," observed a Facebook user, "If its on anyone's skin, they're probably already infected - and this spray down with disinfectant will do nothing to remove the virus from their lungs."

While others hoped the video will not cause panic."This is not the full treatment for the virus. They were transferred from this to a military plane and are going to be quarantined on a military base on a secluded island," a netizen reassured.

Yesterday, 3 February, China's Health Comission reported that a total of 475 coronavirus patients have been discharged:

147 cured patients were discharged from hospitals in Hubei district on Sunday, 2 February.

These Might Just Be The Most Bizarre And Disturbing Pizza Ads You Will Ever See

As if the Internet wasn't weird enough, Totino's pizza - an American frozen pizza brand - has just decided to roll out a series of bizarre ads created from some pretty terrible stock photos.

Image via Shutterstock & Totino's

It all began with a Buzzfeed article that simply lists down 50 seemingly nonsensical stock photos. Viewing it as a challenge, Totino's decided to use these photos to make weird little ads from. All 50 of them.

"When we saw Buzzfeed’s list of 50 Completely Unexplainable Stock Photos No One Will Ever Use, we obviously had no choice but to use them. Poorly."

        totinosliving.com

The original photos are already disturbing enough. Totino's remixed versions make even less sense, although they are no less entertaining. To illustrate our point, here is a side-by-side comparison of some of our favourites:

[GAMBAR] Banjir Kilat Sedang Melanda Teruk Di Sarawak. Tapi Kenapa Ramai Tak Tahu?

Sejak Januari lalu, hampir seluruh rakyat Kuching, Sarawak dan beberapa daerah lain menghadapi kesukaran kerana berlakunya banjir dek sebab hujan yang tidak berhenti turun

Dilaporkan seramai lebih 7 ribu mangsa banjir di Kuching, Samarahan dan Serian dipindahkan di tempat perlindungan mangsa sejak 22 Februari lalu. Angka itu dikatakan turun  dan naik sehingga ke hari ini.Dan baru-baru ini, Astro Awani melaporkan keadaan bertambah buruk dan banjir kilat mula melanda bandar Kuching, Sarawak.

Tetapi mungkin tidak ramai yang mengetahui isu tersebut. Kami boleh katakan, keadaan di sana agak teruk walaupun tidak seteruk banjir yang berlaku di Kelantan dahulu. Lihat gambar-gambar di bawah:

Berhubung perkara itu, terdapat satu post di Facebook yang mendakwa isu banjir di Sarawak kurang diketahui orang ramai kerana media tempatan kurang memberi laporan mengenainya

Post itu dibuat oleh akaun Facebook bernama Pencuri Movie pada 2 Mac lalu. Sehingga kini, post tersebut telah mendapat sebanyak lebih 6 ribu likes dan lebih seribu share.  Bagaimanapun, satu komen panjang telah dibuat oleh salah seorang wartawan akhbar The Star, Salfian Nawawi yang mana menidakkan dakwaan tersebut.

Jadi siapa perlu kita salahkan? Adakah sebenarnya kita yang tidak begitu aware dengan keadaan semasa? Kami doakan semoga keadaan banjir di Sarawak beransur pulih dan semua mangsa berada di dalam keadaan sihat dan selamat.
