"Comfy & Convenient" — Designer Creates Wearable Bean Bag So You Can Chill Out Anywhere

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

Clothes should be two things: stylish and comfortable.
Well, maybe just the latter of the two for certain occasions.

While the Japanese are known for their adeptness at making life processes easier, one interesting creation may be turning things on its head.Takikou Sewing, an establishment that specialises in the making of beanbags, or otherwise referred to as 'bean cushions', has made a fairly reputable name for themselves in Okazaki City, Japan. However, one of their latest innovative creations has made waves online for amalgamating the concepts of comfort and fashion — a wearable beanbag.Yep, you heard that right.Worn just the way you'd throw a T-shirt on, the wearable bean bag is a literal beanbag that hugs your body like any article of clothing. Meant to keep you warm for extended periods of time, the item is supposed to be just the thing you can wear "anytime and anywhere".

According to Shogo Takikawa, a representative of the company, the creation of the onion-shaped beanbags are meant to promote relaxation

"The concept was born out of the idea of a cushion that would allow you to totally let go, anytime, anywhere. You can put this on and chill out in your living room or loads of other places. That's why we created it," said the representative in an interview video published by Reuters Asia.As of present, the item comes in three different sizes: for kids, medium, and large. The item also comes in four colours: grey, brown, green, and white.In a video displaying the item, two people can be seen demonstrating how to wear the bean bags while doing their daily routines, which included napping, using a laptop, and walking around. "It makes you a little heavy around the middle, but it's good fun," said one of the users, while the other opined that it was lighter and warmer than she thought. "You'd feel pretty toasty after putting this on," she added.

The item currently retails for between JPY7,800 to JPY15,800 (approximately between RM256 to RM518) and can be found online

The item can currently be found on Japanese shopping website Rakuten, and may be shipped internationally depending on availability.

Besides The Size, What's Really Different Between The iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus?

1. While the new iPhones are larger than iPhone 5S, the iPhone 6 screen is smaller than the iPhone 6 Plus

Image via businessinsider.com

The phone comes in two models, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. The original iPhone in 2007 had a screen that was 3.5 inches, measured diagonally. The larger size means more pixels for apps to work with. The iPhone 5 line had a 640 by 1136 screen resolution. The new phones boost that to 750 by 1334 and 1080 by 1920, respectively.

        vox.com

2. iPhone 6 has a fairly low battery life than iPhone 6 Plus. By contrast, the 6 Plus uses its extra size well to push iPhone battery life to a whole new level.

Image via craveonline.com

The 6 Plus uses its extra size well to push iPhone battery life to a whole new level. The big winners are audio (doubling to 80 hours), video (a 40% boost to 14 hours) 3G talk time (from 10 to 24 hours), 3G browsing (8 to 12 hours) and standby (up to 16 days). Arguably the most pertinent ratings – WiFi browsing and LTE browsing – only increase 20 per cent to 12 hours, but it remains the biggest generational leap in iPhone history.

        forbes.com

3. On camera front, while both the new iPhones uses same resolution, iPhone 6 Plus comes out ahead in terms of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS)

Image via forbes.com

The iPhone 6 (and 6 Plus) sports a new sensor that allows the camera auto-focus twice as fast as previous iPhones. The new iPhones also support a new slow-motion video feature and "burst selfies." The iPhone 6 Plus — but not the regular iPhone 6 — offers optical image stabilization. Sometimes, users can slightly shake the camera at the instant they take the picture, leading to blurriness. Optical image stabilization automatically detects and offsets these movements, helping to produce a crystal-clear image.

        time.com

4. At .28 inches thick, iPhone 6 Plus is just a hair thicker than the .27-inch iPhone 6. The slightly heftier 6 Plus weighs in at 6.07 ounces while the iPhone 6 is 4.55 ounces.

Image via phonearena.com

The iPhone 6 measures 5.44 x 2.64 x 0.27 inches (138.1 x 67 x 6.9mm) and weighs 4.55 ounces (129g) – a weight increase that is roughly proportional to its 16% volume increase compared to the iPhone 5S. Meanwhile the iPhone 6 Plus clearly has the 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in its sights. The Plus measures 6.22 x 3.06 x 0.28 inches (158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1mm) and weighs 6.07 ounces (172g).

        mashable.com

5. One of the most subtle difference is that the interface of iPhone 6 Plus, when flipped sideways, switches to landscape mode, even when you're on the homescreen

Image via businessinsider.com

The 6 Plus also offers a useful new landscape view in most apps in exchange for the bigger size – you get an inbox while looking at Messages or Mail, for instance, and detailed views in most system software. It’s a big advantage for working through stuff quickly, and is comparable to what the iPad offers in many ways.

        techcrunch.com

6. The iPhone 6, costing USD199 for the 16GB version, is USD100 cheaper than the iPhone 6 Plus, which will begin at USD299 for the 16GB version.

Image via vox-cdn.com

The iPhone 6 will cost $199 for a low-end model with 16 GB of storage. That increases to $299 for a 64 GB model and $399 for a 128 GB model. (All of these prices are with a wireless contract.) If you want the larger size of the iPhone 6 Plus, you'll have to pay $100 extra: it's $299 for a 16 GB model, going up to $499 for the 128 GB  model. As per its usual practice, Apple is going to continue selling old models at a reduce price. The iPhone 5S will sell for $99, while an iPhone 5C will be free with contract.

        vox.com

BONUS: In Malaysia, the rumoured pricing is as stated:

Expected pricing: iPhone 6 starts at RM2,500 and iPhone 6 Plus about RM2,900, both 16GB— SoyaCincau (@Soya_Cincau) September 9, 2014


Remember The MARA Scholar Jailed In The UK For Possessing Child Pornography? He Is Back

A former MARA scholar who made headlines after he was sentenced to a 5-year jail sentence in the UK for possessing child pornographic materials, Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin, after being convicted of paedophilia, dropped from the media's radar.
However, as per a report in The Rakyat Post (TRP), the "math genius" who was a third-year student at the prestigious Imperial College in London has secretly been brought home to Malaysia.

In a report published on 2 December, The Rakyat Post reported that the 24-year-old has been released by UK authorities and has returned to Malaysia "albeit beneath a cloak of secrecy".
However, it is not clear whether he returned to his hometown in Perak or moved to another location in the country, the report said.

Those in the know remain tight-lipped and declined comment when posed questions surrounding the former Mara scholar, as it has attracted unwarranted attention."It would seem the young man has been released and deported home by UK authorities. His academic future is as good as gone, but there are other issues which need to be addressed," a source told The Rakyat Post.

        therakyatpost.com

What would the future hold for Nur Fitri?

"The police may have announced that Nur Fitri could come under surveillance, but the fact remains that there is no sex offender directory in Malaysia. Nur has he been compelled to seek treatment (psychological) in the United Kingdom or here," The Rakyat Posted quoted an unnamed source as saying.The report also claimed that discussions over whether Nur Fitri can be rehabilitated are underway and there are those who have differing opinions."Whether it was mere downloads of explicit material, possession, distribution, this case has been brought out in the open and there should be concerns. Many are arguing that such individuals need constant supervision and counselling while others feel such forms of addiction make it difficult to kick the habit. Many fail to realise that there is no legislation which makes it mandatory for such sex offenders to seek treatment or rehabilitation, it's voluntary," an unnamed legal source explained to The Rakyat Post.

Many on social media, caught unaware as they're under the impression that the paedophile was locked behind bars in the UK for 5 years, reacted with surprise to the news of his return home.
However, according to a 3 December report in the Malaysian Digest, the UK Court had revised Nur Fitri's prison term to a mere nine months in May this year after appeals were submitted.

On a May 2 Facebook posting, MARA chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa had announced that Nur Fitri was handed an original 18-month jail sentence which was then reduced to nine months. "The courts took into consideration the letter from his mathematics professor Sebastian, letters from the Embassy, psychiatric reports and his good behaviour in jail. The sentence was then reduced to nine months,” Annuar had said, as reported by a local English news daily in May 6 this year."We have confirmed this... five years may have been the original verdict," MARA corporate communications director Rohayah Mohd Zain had also confirmed the MARA chairman statement in stating that Nur Fitri would be eligible to be deported back to Malaysia once he served at least half or two-thirds of his sentence in the UK, starting from when he was convicted in November 21, 2014.

SAYS EXCLUSIVE: Nick Vujicic On Suicide, Bullies And Relationships

At the National Achievers Congress 2014 press conference, SAYS asked Nick Vujicic about his thoughts on the increase of suicides among youths in Malaysia

                21-Year-Old Law Student Jumps To Her Death On Exam Day

21-year-old Tieu Hooi Theng left a message for her family members before leaping from the 18th floor of the Menara UM...

Read the full story

The National Achievers Congress 2014 was held on 25 May 2014 in Malaysia at the International Exhibition And Convention Centre (MIECC) in Mines, Serdang. Keynote speakers included Nick Vujicic, Tom Hopkins, Brendon Burchard, and other world-renowned leaders in marketing, life coaches and trainers.

Nick Vujicic opened up about his suicide attempt at the age of 10 when he tried to drown himself because of the bully at school

"I just came from a trip in Hawaii about 2 months ago - 12.8% of all teenagers in Hawaii have already attempted suicide. It’s a very, very high rate of suicide. Asia though, is the leading region of suicide, unfortunately. Especially when the global economic crisis came in, people do not feel secure that they ever get a job which is similar to stress of examination, depression to perform."I tried to drown myself at 10 years old in my family bathtub. Why? Because of the bully at my school. I did not feel that I had hope in my life. So I know how that feels but I have come to the knowledge through my faith in God of knowing where are the truth of my happiness is and my value," he said.

He also shared about his love life and previous relationship where, at one point, after an 18-month relationship ended, he said "it felt like I was already dead."

"I went through a relationship breakup. I was in love with a girl when I was 19 years old for 4 and a half years before we actually came together in a relationship and 18 months later, it got cut off. It felt like I was already dead. I know how it feels to have a heartbreak.  But my overall joy as a human being is not determined in a relationship."I’m not going to put my circumstances as the defining factor of my happiness either. So I get that from God. He loves me, He created me, He knows who my wife is. When I get absolutely broken hearted,  when my first relationship did not work out, yeah I wasn’t married and it was hard but now I met my wife and I know that my past helped me to be who I am today," he said.

Nick also addressed the general misconceptions on marriage. "It’s a commitment to love them, serve them, put their needs above your needs, it’s a decision that’s not all just happiness."

Nick Vujicic got married to Kanae Miyahara during Valentine's Day in 2012.

"For anyone who’s not happy yet and thinks they are going to be happier when they get married, you don’t marry to be happy. You marry someone, it’s a commitment to love them, serve them, put their needs above your needs, it’s a decision that’s not all just happiness."So we need to know, first of all, whether we’re single or married, you are beautiful just the way that you are, you are not less valuable or beautiful if you don’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. You don’t need a relationship to define your value or your happiness," he added.

Nick said that he felt "bullying is everywhere - in the workplace, the government, the media" and urged people to "not let others put you down" and to "give yourself a chance to fly."

"As far as a pressure to perform, you know I feel sorry for anyone who has parents who really, really bully them.  I’ve just released a book about bullying called 'Stand Strong' and I feel bullying is everywhere, in the workplace, in the government, in the media, and in some areas. Definitely known at school and at home. I just want you to know that don’t let others put you down. Give yourself a chance to fly."Miracles happen, they happen, right? And beautiful things come from your broken pieces if you just give your broken pieces a chance. Who cares if you’re not a CEO or if you end up being a janitor at a high school. Why do I say a janitor? Because the janitor at my high school was the one who inspired me to be a speaker at 17 years old. It’s not about your occupation, it’s how you love people, how you love yourself and how you love God," he said.

"Please, teenagers listen to me right now - giving up is not the option, it’s not the answer, it is not okay to do that. You have to give yourself a chance, you have to give your broken pieces a chance."

"And so, I just hope that my presence here in Malaysia also encourages every teenager, first of all, to know that I know how it feels like to think of giving up or even trying to give up."So, may God bless those families affected and please, if there are any teenagers here now who are feeling like giving up, do not give up, do not give up. Because you don’t know what’s around the corner until you go around the corner," he said.

"We're Tired Of Running" — Malaysians Race To Catch MRT After They Arrive At The Same Time

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

A recent Twitter video has resurfaced of a group of Malaysians seen running from one MRT to another on the same platform at the Kwasa Damansara station

Posted in December 2022, the tweet was initially released by Malaysian Ikmal Arif (@payottt) as a response to another tweet related to Transport Minister Anthony Loke's undercover inspection of the commuter service. In Ikmal's post, he captured a clip of Malaysians running from one MRT stop to another, as their train arrived just as the opposite side was about to leave. The 13-second clip displayed the strangers dashing across the platform as soon as the MRT doors opened. Unfortunately, most of them didn't make it in time, as the doors had closed before they had an opportunity to enter the MRT. The caption of the post read, in translation, "Please fix the timing, it's tiring to run every day." Seemingly directing this message to Loke, Ikmal's caption implied that this is a regular occurrence for Malaysians using the MRT at the Kwasa Damansara stop — where the timing of each MRT arrival and departure is not coordinated efficiently.

Since being released, the video has garnered over one million views and been liked by almost 18,000 Twitter users

A few Twitter users chose to find some comedy in the situations, writing that those who work in the office could get skinny by running through this every day. "If this was happening daily, Malaysia would be able to produce runners on the same calibre as Usain Bolt. If not that, we'd have people that are super fit," said one user.Others even mentioned the unnamed girl in the grey baju kurung, whom most referred to as the fastest runner of the bunch, being able to make it onto the other MRT in time. "This lady is running like her life depends on it. You go girl!" wrote another person.

Unfortunately for those who frequent the Kwasa Damansara MRT station, some users even stated that this occurrence is the norm for them.

Nevertheless, a few users expressed their heartfelt concern over the video, saying that it is not the people's fault if the MRT comes at the respective time."Synchronise the timing to suit the arrival and departure. Pity the people who have to suffer in this predicament daily," penned one user.Another user even stated that it wouldn't be great for people to have to sprint and use all their energy before the work day has even begun.

However, a few individuals also pleaded in the comment section to those who are in authoritative positions to ensure such a situation doesn't happen again."I don't know why, but I feel sad when I see Malaysians having to run so fast, especially the girl in the grey baju kurung. To run away from the road traffic, you have to run in the MRT," he commented.One user even gave a simple suggestion, to time the MRT's a minute or two in difference of arrival and departure, so people would not have to run on a daily basis.

In a brief conversation with SAYS, Ikmal noted that after the video went viral, he, as a frequent user of the MRT at Kwasa Damansara, never faced the issue again

All in all, it seems as though the time period which the clip has been uploaded, until now, changes have been made that hopefully put Malaysians' minds at ease over their rail transportation method.Watch the full clip of the moment below:

15 Bukti Kenapa Negara Kita Layak Dilabel #MalaysiaDarulKelakar

"Saya Antara Yang Paling Gembira Bila Ringgit Jatuh," Kata Nazri Aziz

Image via malaysiakini.com edited by SAYS

Menteri Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz berkata beliau merupakan antara individu yang paling gembira apabila nilai ringgit mengalami kejatuhan.Menurut beliau, ini kerana pelancong dari negara yang nilai wangnya lebih besar seperti United Kingdom and Eropah akan membelanjakan wang mereka di Malaysia dengan lebih kerana nilai pertukaran yang tinggi.“Ringgit semestinya membantu Malaysia, seperti yang saya katakan tadi semasa ucapan penggulungan, saya merupakan antara beberapa individu yang gembira bila ringgit jatuh,” katanya.Selain itu, kata Nazri, kejatuhan ringgit juga menyebabkan rakyat Malaysia berfikir dua kali sebelum melancong ke negara lain terutama sekali ke negara seperti UK.“Jadi ianya mahal dan mereka akan membelanjakan wang mereka di sini sebagai pelancong tempatan… dan itu menjadikan saya amat gembira. Saya sangat gembira,” katanya.Beliau juga menjangkakan sektor pelancongan tempatan akan menyaksikan penambahbaikan yang banyak dalam beberapa bulan nanti.

Polis naik ke pentas ketika Dr Mahathir berucap di hadapan pelbagai Pertubuhan Badan Bukan Kerajaan (NGO) dan menyuruhnya berhenti bercakap.Program ini adalah sesi dialog terbuka anjuran SukaGuam, di mana Najib diminta menjawab dan menerangkan isu-isu semasa termasuk Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) dan 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).Acara itu dianjurkan dengan tidak tersusun apabila semua pengamal media diberitahu mereka tidak dibenarkan masuk, maka penganjur mengubah fikiran dan kemudian membuat pengumuman bahawa mereka terpaksa meninggalkan dewan.Menurut Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar dalam laman twitternya berkata polis diarahkan agar dialog tersebut dibatalkan demi ketenteraman awam dan keharmonian masyarakat.

3. Pelajar ambil selfie semasa majlis konvokesyen di UiTM digantung setahun. Laporan itu bagaimanapun tidak benar tetapi pelajar tersebut diminta mengeluarkan permohonan maaf.

Graduan diploma UiTM, Hasrul Haris Mohd Radzi diminta memohon maaf kerana selfie ini.

Tindakan UiTM Melaka menggantung pengajian Muhammad Hasrul Haris Mohd Radzi atas kesalahan merakam gambar potret dirinya (selfie) ketika Majlis Konvokesyen semalam begitu mengejutkan para mahasiswa.Biro Mahasiswa AMK juga amat sedih dengan tindakan itu. Sepertimana dijelaskan Muhammad Hasrul, tindakannya itu hanya simbolik untuk menunjukkan bakat beliau sebagai graduan jurusan fotografi.Beliau tetap dikenakan tindakan walau sudah memohon maaf. Perkara ini menunjukkan piawai akademik institusi pengajian tinggi Malaysia yang amat rendah.Mana letaknya keadilan dalam memberikan hukuman? Adakah ini standard UiTM?Biro Mahasiswa AMK menggesa agar UiTM bertindak lebih matang dalam menilai dan menjatuhkan hukuman terhadap mahasiswa. Bagaimana mahasiswa hendak matang kalau pentadbir akademik mahasiswa sendiri masih tidak matang?

5. Seorang ibu yang datang jauh dari Sarawak tidak dibenarkan masuk ke dalam dewan bagi menyaksikan anak perempuannya menerima segulung ijazah pada majlis konvokesyen UiTM, Shah Alam kerana berpakaian "tidak sopan".

This is the outfit I wore the day I was kicked out of my daughter's Graduation at UITM , Shah Alam,  because I was...Posted by Marjorie Abdullah on Wednesday, April 1, 2015

Menurut sumber, kod etika berpakaian bagi majlis konvokesyen UiTM telah menetapkan, para pelajar perempuan serta ibu atau waris wanita yang hadir ke majlis itu hanya dibenarkan memakai baju kurung atau blaus, manakala seluar adalah tidak dibenarkan.Menurut Marjorie, dia tidak tahu mengenai kod etika pakaian yang telah ditetapkan oleh UiTM itu kerana dia tinggal di Sarawak. Marjorie juga mendakwa arahan mengenakan pakaian itu tidak dinyatakan dalam kad jemputan."Saya tidak sepatutnya memakai seluar untuk menghadiri konvokesyen itu, tetapi saya berada di Sarawak dan mereka tidak menerima alasan itu," katanya yang mengakui kesilapannya.Akibat dari insiden itu, anak gadis dan tunangnya mengambil keputusan untuk tidak menghadiri majlis konvokesyen masing-masing selain dari tidak berpuas hati dengan tindakan UiTM yang langsung tidak mahu bertolak ansur dengan ibunya yang datang dari jauh.

Kelihatan seorang security datang ke tengah dgn wajah garang, mendekati saudara Rafizi.Dan !! Beliau merampas mikrofon dipegang Rafizi dgn kasar..lalu bermulalah rusuhan org ramai.. Bersorak membantah tindakan kebudak budakan security tersebut sebelum saudara Rafizi sempat berkata dgn lantang "mana adab di depan pelajar pelajar."Kelihatan suasana amat tegang, diiringi boo dan sorakan dari hadirin yang hadir. Semua amat berang kerana majlis diganggu security UIA yang menerima arahan org atas yang bimbang periuk nasi mereka terjejas.

9. Seorang bapa, Bunya Jalong yang merogol anaknya sendiri menggunakan jari sehingga mengandung dibebaskan dengan alasan bahawa tiada penetrasi zakar berlaku, manakala penetrasi jari dan benda asing tidak dianggap rogol

Mahkamah Rayuan Kuching membebaskan Bunya Jalong daripada tuduhan merogol anak sendiri kerana hanya memasukkan jarinya yang berlumur air mani dan bukannya penetrasi zakar.Tertuduh, 60 tahun dibebaskan daripada hukuman asalnya selepas mahkamah rayuan mendapati empat sabitan kes rogolnya ‘tidak kukuh’.Berikutan itu, ramai yang mempertikaikan keputusan tersebut yang membuktikan undang-undang sivil kini tidak mampu membela mangsa.Pada 2013, dia didapati bersalah merogol anaknya berusia 15 tahun pada Mei, Jun, Julai dan Ogos 2011 di sebuah hotel di Sibu. Mangsa mengandung dan melahirkan anak di Hospital Sibu pada 5 Februari 2012.Walaupun ujian DNA membuktikan bahawa Bunya merupakan bapa kepada anak mangsa, kerana ketiadaan penetrasi zakar ke dalam faraj menjadikan perbuatan itu bukan rogol.

Mahkamah Rayuan memutuskan bahawa Undang-Undang Syariah Negeri Sembilan yang memperuntukkan hukuman terhadap golongan lelaki Islam berpakaian wanita di tempat awam adalah melanggar Perlembagaan Persekutuan.Hakim Datuk Mohd. Hishamudin Mohd. Yunus membuat ketetapan tersebut selepas membenarkan rayuan tiga lelaki yang bekerja sebagai mak andam untuk mengetepikan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi Seremban, Negeri Sembilan yang menolak semakan kehakiman mereka bagi mencabar undang-undang syariah itu.Dalam penghakimannya, beliau berkata, Seksyen 66 Enakmen Jenayah Syariah Undang-Undang Negeri Sembilan 1992 yang melarang kaum lelaki memakai pakaian perempuan atau berlagak seperti perempuan di tempat awam adalah tidak sah dan terbatal.Hakim Mohd. Hishamudin berkata, penguatkuasaan Seksyen 66 itu akan meletakkan perayu-perayu yang mengalami kecelaruan identiti jantina (GID) terus hidup dalam ketidakpastian, kesengsaraan dan rasa malu.Ini kerana, menurut beliau, undang-undang tersebut telah menghukum golongan transeksual yang mempamerkan jantina pilihan mereka, mencemarkan maruah dan nilai individu-individu tersebut dalam masyarakat.Menurut beliau, mahkamah menerima hujahan perayu bahawa sebagai lelaki Islam yang mengalami GID, mereka menghadapi situasi yang berbeza jika dibandingkan dengan lelaki Islam yang normal, dan disebabkan perbezaan itu, mereka tidak seharusnya dilayan sama seperti lelaki Islam yang normal.

This Eatery In George Town Is Serving 100 Free Meals A Day To Anyone Who Needs It

As the pandemic rages on, and many states are still under strict lockdown, an eatery in Penang is doing its part to help the needy

Arati Vilas Restaurant in Tanjung Bungah Park, George Town has been serving free meals every Wednesday since the Movement Control Order (MCO) was first implemented in March last year, reported Free Malaysia Today.In fact, the eatery has also managed to not lay off a single member of their staff, paying full salaries despite struggling to make up for lost revenue.Now, more than 15 months into the pandemic and amidst renewed lockdown measures, the owner, Vengdesparan N Rajalingam, has pledged to go one step further to help others.

Vengdesparan with his wife Philomena.

They have pledged to donate at least 100 meals a day for the month of July

Upon hearing of the #BenderaPutih or the white flag campaign – through which those in need of financial and food assistance are raising white flags outside their homes – Vengdesparan said that they will be giving away a minimum of 100 meals every single day this month.He also shared that his eatery won't be asking any questions from anyone who comes to collect the meal packet."We run on a trust system here. If you can't afford a meal, you can count on us. I’m not going to ask questions too. Just take your food and leave," he told Free Malaysia Today."This is our community initiative, which we have been doing at a smaller scale for years. But due to COVID-19, we have ramped things up. Many need help."The meals consist of a serving of rice, fried chicken, fried fish, eggs, and other freshly made delicacies.Vengdesparan also assured that they will not compromise on the quality of the food, using only grade-A eggs and fragrant rice.

They also distribute food to help out those in need around the city

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Vengdesparan, aided in his efforts by his wife Philomena, also pledged to help marooned trishaw riders around George Town. Under the current MCO rules, the lack of tourists and restricted movement by locals means their livelihood is all but lost.For this end, he sends his son Arvind, who diligently identifies and distributes more packed food to those in need, which includes the homeless, garbage collectors, as well as those who have lost their jobs.

The restaurant is open from Tuesday to Saturday and free food is available for collection between 12pm and 3pm

Those in need can visit the restaurant at their address:No 9, Tanjung Bungah Park, Tanjung Bungah, George Town, Pulau Pinang; Tel: +604-8991379.You may even contact them directly if you would like to contribute to their cause.

New Vending Machines In Malaysia Can Refill Liquid Detergent, Hand Sanitiser & More

Malaysians go through tonnes of single-use plastic waste a year

A study by World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) revealed that Malaysia ranks second highest in Asia for overall generated plastic waste — even beating countries like China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand.Not something we should be proud of. But thankfully, the country has been taking baby steps towards more sustainable living, such as reducing plastic bag waste in supermarkets and offering more eco-friendly alternatives.

Introducing Malaysia's first vending machines for refilling liquid detergent and other cleaning agents

Image via 두효은 (Facebook)

EcoVend is a zero waste solution company based in KL that has set up vending machines called Bubbles. At these machines, you can refill your:– Floor cleaner– Dishwashing liquid– Toilet cleaner– All-purpose cleaner– Hand sanitiser– Laundry detergent – Hand wash liquid

Image via Provided to SAYS

Instead of tossing out plastic bottles once they're empty, bring them to one of these vending machines, select the product and amount you want on the touchscreen, and that's it!The machine accepts cashless payments, such as debit/credit card payments via PayWave or e-wallet (Touch 'n Go / Boost / Grab). Super simple and efficient.

Image via 두효은 (Facebook)

Here's a look at how it works:

  @bubblesmachines Refilling is so easy. #bubbles #ecofriendly #zeffort #refill #reuse #zerowaste #vendingmachine  Up and Away (Vocalese) - GHOSTLAND

The idea came about four years ago when its founder Don Low realised that there were no refill packs for shampoo in Malaysia, despite there being refills for soap and laundry detergent

Even refill packets are still single-use plastic, so there was no proper zero waste option. He told SAYS that he hadn't discovered zero waste stores at the time. "I was thinking about a vending machine where people can reuse their bottles directly from the machine. Only then would it be 100% zero waste!" he shared. As someone who hates trash and is always reminded of plastic waste in our everyday lives, the 36-year-old felt the need to address the problem, which he explained stems more from large corporations selling products in single-use plastic products rather than consumers' usage.As a result, his company EcoVend came up with two main products in February: Bubbles vending machines and Zeffort cleaning products.

Don Low is the founder of EcoVend and holds a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science.

So far, people have been receptive of their vending machines and have been requesting for them to place one in their areas. Low hopes to be able to eventually expand on the products by approaching larger corporations to offer body care and more."I'm amazed that so many young Malaysians are incredibly keen to go zero waste. The problem is accessibility, and the only way to solve this is to reach out to more people by having more machines in more locations," he added.

There are currently six Bubbles vending machines in different parts of Klang Valley

They are located in:– The Waterfront @ ParkCity, KL– Wangsa Walk Mall, Wangsa Maju– Lotus's Cheras, Cheras– Lotus's Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya– Desa Green Serviced Apartments, Taman Desa– Symphony Tower, Seri KembanganLow told SAYS that they're working on opening more machines after receiving enquiries from almost every state in Malaysia."We want retail refill stations with at least 10 machines and 80 products from 30 different brands; covering hair, body, fabrics, and floor cleaning products."To find out more, you can check out their website and Facebook.

Here's a step-by-step video tutorial on how to use the machine:

If there's no vending machine near you yet, you can check out these local zero waste stores:

This New Local Convenience Store Chain Is Completely Cashless

At first glance, the Funmaii outlet in Bandar Puteri, Puchong looks like a typical convenience store with shelves and fridges stocked with food and drink. Except... there is no cashier in sight.

Funmaii is the latest establishment to fully embrace the cashless payment system. It recently opened an outlet in Puchong, the second since opening for business at Sunway Nexis, Kota Damansara in January this year.

Funmaii has created a dedicated e-wallet app for both iOS and Android, allowing customers to pay for goods with ease and convenience

The retail experience is based entirely on the self-service concept – customers pick up what they want and proceed to the counter to scan their items before making payment. Apart from e-wallet functions, the app can be used to track expenses and spending habits as well as redeem rewards in the form of vouchers and special discounts. Payments can be also made through credit or debit card.

Funmaii outlets offer daily basic necessities that customers would expect to find at most  convenience stores, plus a selection of imported snacks from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand

Funmaii founder Datuk Brian Wee said the company plans to open about 30 outlets over the next 12 months and aims to have 100 outlets by 2019

Besides that, SoyaCincau reported that Funmaii also plans to install 10,000 vending machines in major shopping malls around Malaysia within the next three years.

10 Things Married People Wish They Knew Before They Said "I Do"

Deciding to spend the rest of your life with someone can be exciting and pretty nerve-racking

Though you can never be fully prepared for marriage, every couple will inevitably go through the journey of discovering the good and bad about each other.

Image via weheartit

We asked several married couples in Malaysia what they didn't know (but thought they should have!) before tying the knot:

1. "I wish I knew about the amount of cleaning I would have to do. Before marriage, I only worried about cleaning my own room." - Amreet, 28, married for 2+ years

Image via Simon Song/South China Morning Post

2. "I wish I knew, whether I agreed to it or not, that we were gonna get a dog either way." - Aaron, 31, married for 4 years

Image via @kobu_dogu/Instagram

3. I wish I knew that I'd have to multiply almost every cost by two. Two movie tickets. Two meals. Two flight tickets." - Abhishek, 27, married for 2+ years

Image via Gfycat

4. "I wish I knew how important good pre-marital counselling is. It takes the stress off one party bringing up difficult topics if there are any, or brings up topics that couples should talk about but don't know they should yet." - Michelle, 32, married for 5+ years

Image via Asia Law Network

5. "I wish I knew just how involved we would have to be with the in-laws. His family becomes my family." - Melanie, 60, married for 31 years

Image via Warner Bros

6. "I wish I knew that a boyzilian wax wouldn't be that painful but that it'll sting for a few days." - Riyal, 27, married for 17 months

Image via Tenor

7. "I wish I knew friends and family might mean well, but there comes a point where it's worth ignoring what everyone else says. Marriage is really just about two people making the life they want together." - John, 33, married for 5+ years

Image via Bandt

8. "I wish I knew that my husband would be very calculative with finances for our child's needs, like diapers and milk." - Farah, 27, married for 17 months

Image via Giphy

9. "I wish I knew that the first CNY reunion away from home and my immediate family would be hard!" - Judith, 33, married for 4 years

Image via SingSaver

10. "I wish I knew that if you don't set a schedule for household chores, you end up doing it yourself." - Wei Mae, married for six months

Pestle & Mortar Drops Malaysian Collection Featuring Batik Prints, Old RM1 Coin & More

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

When it comes to streetwear, nobody does it like Pestle & Mortar Clothing

Founded in 2010 by the trio of Hugh Koh and brothers Arnold and Arthur Loh, the brand has gone from strength to strength with every passing year.Initially a passion project to ideate T-shirt designs, Pestle & Mortar Clothing (PMC) quickly bloomed into a full-fledged business that is now one of the most recognised streetwear brands in the country if not the region.Their success stems from their immaculate translations of the Southeast Asian experience onto their designs; indeed the name itself is derived from a common kitchen tool unique to this part of the world.

The PMC team.

Their prestige is also owed in large part to iconic collaborations

In the decade past, the brand has collaborated with numerous other institutions big and small, from American streetwear legends The Hundreds and Chinatown Market (now renamed MARKET), to unconventional partnerships with Royal Selangor and airasia.What is for certain is that their unique design language always shines through, making every piece look and feel just so quintessentially Pestle & Mortar.

Leaning into their proud local heritage, PMC has launched a new collection aptly called the 'Malaysia Month Collection'

In their own words, the collection is "both a love letter and supercut that showcases the freedom and unity Malaysians experience since gaining independence 64 years ago".This 16-piece drop features homages to everyday experiences and even a couple of ambitious must-haves, with graphic tees, shirts, shorts, and accessories alike.

"As a brand with a vision to narrate the stories of Malaysians we take pride in, it made total sense for this capsule to be our biggest one to date," said co-founder Koh. "The collection is not only dedicated towards Merdeka Day that marks our independence, but also pays homage to Malaysia Day that signifies the formation of our country with both East and West Malaysia."Notable highlights include the Andy Warhol-inspired Tropical Fruits Bowling Shirt and Shorts combo, the M-SAT-1 Cap which pays homage to Malaysia's first satellite in space, and the collector's item A Ringgit Necklace Gold.

The new drop also features unique designs made in partnership with ARTDeaf Studio resident artist Lim Anuar

The award-winning visual artist infuses his unmistakeable wayang kulit and batik motifs into the Pestle & Mortar DNA, creating three pieces which would make any fashion enthusiast blush.Called the Unity line, it has a grail of a graphic tee, and a bowling shirt and shorts accoutrement which feature understated yet all-over prints. Definitely going on the must cop list.

Lim was put on the brand's radar by HSBC Bank's 'We Can We Do' initiative, which aims to platform struggling artists adversely impacted by the ongoing pandemic.Following in that spirit, all proceeds from the sale of these pieces will be channelled to the artist himself, all while introducing his work to a larger audience.

Check out some of our top picks from their latest collection:

If An Airline Ever Loses Your Luggage, Here's What You Should Do

Every traveller who takes a flight to get from one place to another shares the same fear every time they travel: the terrible nightmare of losing their bag.

Image via John Greim/LightRocket via Getty Images

Surely no one wants to experience that awful feeling when you realise that you're the only one left standing at the carousel but the bag that you've been waiting for hasn't shown up.Unfortunately, this happens to hundreds of airline passengers every single day. Although, most "lost" bags are only delayed, but a missing bag could cause a lot of inconvenience and stress. While it can be stressful, try to not panic yet if your bag has gone missing. Here are some things that you can do to retrieve your missing bag back.

What should you do first if you bag goes missing?

Image via KLIA2

			1. Immediately make a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) on the missing bag at the airport's Mishandled Load Office (MLO) or the Lost and Found Office. Even if you have to be somewhere else, it's necessary to make the report on the missing bag before you leave the airport. 2. Once you make an official report on the loss or delayed baggage, the process of tracing the baggage will commence. A file reference number will be given to check the status of your baggage online. 3. Remember to get a copy of your report. Note down the necessary information such as your baggage tag, relevant tracking numbers, a name of the agent that handles your claim, airline phone number or baggage-tracking website.

Here's a list of contacts of popular airlines that operate in Malaysia as well as the related offices:

1. Malaysia Airlines Contact: +603-8776 3733 | +603-8776 3742 | [email protected]2. AirAsia Contact: +603-8778-5494 (Domestic) | +603-8778 5495 (International) | +662 562 5869 (Bangkok Central Baggage Tracing Office) | 08118963067  and 02155916126 (Jakarta Central Baggage Tracing Office) 3.

Am I entitled to any kind of compensation?

"Airlines are liable to pay compensation in the event of lost or delayed baggage, regardless whether the consumer had purchased any travel insurance," the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) stated.Nevertheless, actual compensation varies by airline and is usually decided on a case-to-case basis. Typically, an airline would offer regular overnight kits containing basic essentials such toiletries at a minimum. Some may choose to offer a set daily allowance while others would offer to reimburse customers the expenses that occur during the period when the bag is missing. It's very important to keep the necessary receipts and supporting documents to substantiate the claim amount for reimbursement.

Image via Jinx!

According to MAVCOM, a passenger must file a written complaint with the airline within the following timeline to claim a compensation:1. On arrival or within 7 days of arrival if your baggage is damaged; or2. On arrival or within 21 days of arrival if your baggage is delayed. In the event that an airline refused to handle a claim or it did not provide a fair compensation, Malaysian customers may escalate the matter to MAVCOM by submitting a copy of the written complaint and the airline's response.

Do take note of these nifty tips that you can practice whenever you're travelling:

Image via Daily Mail

			1. Take photos of the bag and keep them on your smartphone. There are so many bags that look alike these days so this is a smart way to help you effectively describe your missing bag when the need arises. Don't forget to take photos of what's in the bag as this will come in handy when you need to file an insurance claim for your lost belongings. 2. Don't keep important or valuable items in your check-in luggage if you can. Carry things like medicine, documents, jewelry, and laptops with your or keep them in a carry-on bag. 3. Insert your contact details and itinerary for your trip in the bag, on top of your belongings. In some cases, baggage handlers may look inside bags to find out for more additional information (like who it belongs to and where's it should be heading to).

Travellers, here are some useful tips on how you can pack light:

Perak Companies Are Adopting Orang Asli Villages And Helping Them Improve Their Economy

This Spotlight is sponsored by Perak State Government.

In April 2019, the Perak State Government launched their Village Adoption Programme, aimed at helping Orang Asli villages to improve their socioeconomic status

In Perak alone, there are at least 256 Orang Asli villages, with over 60,000 inhabitants. Despite living in close proximity to towns and city centres, many of these villages are still behind in economy, education, and development.

The encouraging news is that at least 20 of these Orang Asli villages have already been adopted by government-linked companies (GLCs) in Perak

According to Perak MB Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, both GLCs and private companies are encouraged to adopt Orang Asli villages as part of their CSR programmes. Nonetheless, this programme is not meant to be a one-off initiative, but a yearlong effort to raise their standards of living with three main focuses—education, sports, and women empowerment.

In Kampung Sungai Cincin, Chenderiang, Menteri Besar Perak Incorporated (MB Inc.) has held baking, sewing, and makeup classes to teach Orang Asli women vocational skills

After talking to the village women, MB Inc. found out these were their three areas of interest. Since then, MB Inc. has brought in qualified trainers to help them develop their skills and grow their confidence. Hopefully, these skills can be used to grow the village's economy in the long run.

Another key focus of the programme is to equip the Orang Asli children through education

Tutors regularly visit the village to help the primary school Orang Asli children develop the basic skills of reading, writing, and counting.

Besides that, they have also held football workshops by Perak Football Association (PAFA) coaches
