Cue the memories! :')In addition, the Malaysian energy company has been constantly innovating and switching up its ways to anticipate and meet the needs of communities all over. They are also responsible for some pretty cool initiatives that highlight sustainability as a whole.

This effort largely comes from PETRONAS' strong belief in the power of change

And their dynamic trajectory forward means that they always aim to be in a better position tomorrow for the sake of future generations.However, enriching lives and transforming oneself is a giant feat to accomplish in one day, which is why PETRONAS is exemplifying change through small improvements that add up to make big differences. Sedikit sedikit, lama lama jadi bukit, right? :D

PETRONAS is on a journey of constant evolution. They recently released a video that speaks about change, which is something many might be able to relate to, especially during these tough times.

Unfortunately, there are children from the remote areas of Paloh, Sarawak and Balambangan, Sabah who have to make a daily two-kilometre trek through rivers and dirt roads to reach their classrooms. :(PETRONAS solves this problem by providing accommodation, plus other facilities, where students can stay during the week for school and return home to their families during the weekend. The children are our future, right? So, invest in them we shall!

With PETRONAS officially signing on as the main sponsor of Cub Prix in 2003, it marks the longest sporting event partnership in Malaysia at 18 years and counting.Not only does the partnership provide a platform to discover and polish local talents, PETRONAS' involvement in motorsports also means we get high performing engine oils and fuels — like PETRONAS Sprinta and PETRONAS Primax — which has been tested and proven on the race tracks.

5. Putting consumers and mother nature in mind when creating affordable clean energy solutions

Future cars might run on something other than petrol! That's right!PETRONAS is collaborating with one of Malaysia's leading research universities, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, to create sustainable energy solutions, particularly for Asia.The joint team has so far invented an electrolyser design that enables better hydrogen yield with lower power consumption — a much-welcomed step forward in making this green energy source a cost-effective option for consumers. Clean energy sources, for the win!

6. Through an innovation hub for social enterprises, PETRONAS helps passionate entrepreneurs chase their dreams

Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur Honours Cancer Survivors With Heartwarming Tribute

Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur recently hosted a special event in honour of cancer survivors, with the theme 'Against All Odds — A Tribute to Cancer Survivors'

Image via Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur

The event was officiated by Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa, and highlighted the resilience and triumph of cancer patients, as well as their remarkable journey towards recovery.The patients were joined by loved ones who have played a crucial part in providing care and assistance.

During the event, attendees like Dr Abd Razak Muhamad and others shared their inspiring journeys of overcoming cancer

Image via Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur

Consultant orthopaedic specialist at Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur Dr Abd Razak Muhamad talked about his experience battling chronic myeloid leukaemia, after being first diagnosed in 2006."Being a doctor and a patient at the same time was a humbling experience, as I got to view cancer from two perspectives," he said. Another cancer survivor, Zuraini Kamal, was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2012, and founded Cancer Survivors Malaysia in 2014."We want to use this platform to share our stories and raise awareness about cancer. When I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, I did not think that I would survive. I thought there were no treatments at all. I did not think it could be cured," she said.

For singer and influencer Adzrin Adzhar, one way that has helped her fight cancer is through music. During the event, she even performed empowering songs, which encouraged cancer patients to accept their circumstances and muster the strength to overcome them."Since my diagnosis, I took the opportunity to raise awareness about cancer by singing motivational songs and sharing my journey on social media," said Adzrin.

All their journeys, alongside 10 other cancer survivors' stories, are now displayed in Gleneagles Hospital's lobby, as part of an exhibition meant to encourage other cancer patients

Image via Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur

The exhibition is open to the public daily from 9am to 5pm at the hospital lobby at Block B.The stories of cancer survivors will also be featured on Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur's Facebook and Instagram.

According to Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur CEO Hoo Ling Lee, the heartwarming event was a tribute to both cancer survivors and their caregivers alike

"This celebration goes beyond survival — it is about saluting the fighting spirit shown by cancer survivors and their determination to battle their disease."As a healthcare provider, we see individuals fighting cancer every day. These patients need our support, as cancer diagnosis and treatments can have a significant impact not only on the patient, but also their loved ones.“By sharing the stories of cancer survivors, we hope to bring about some optimism and the strength of mind for patients and their caregivers to persevere through treatment," she said.

Health Minister Dr Zaliha also talked about various initiatives launched by the government to promote the wellbeing of Malaysians

Image via Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur

"The Agenda National Malaysia Sihat (ANMS) promotes healthy lifestyles and behaviours, such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol. These efforts are aimed at reducing the risk factors associated with non-communicable diseases (NCD) including cancer and empowering individuals to take control of their own health."In addition, the HPV and Hep B vaccination programmes are part of the continuous efforts by the ministry to prevent cervical and liver cancer respectively," she said.

All in all, Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur reiterated its support of the Ministry of Health's efforts in addressing the growing demand for cancer care in Malaysia

Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur is a subsidiary of IHH Healthcare, which signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Health back in 2022 to fully sponsor radiotherapy and radiosurgery for 500 patients from government hospitals.These patients were identified and referred by the ministry and their designated specialists.They will receive the treatment across seven of IHH Healthcare Malaysia's hospitals, including Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

How A Chinese Village 'Treats' People Who Neglect Their Ageing Parents

In China, there's a growing concern over adult children neglecting their ageing parents. While respect for the elderly is still deeply etched in the Chinese psyche, traditional values like 'filial piety' have been weakened by the transformation of Chinese society over three decades of reform and the country's rush to modernity.

Image via Ed Jones/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images via The New York Times

Filial piety is a virtue of respect for one's parents, elders, and ancestors.In Chinese culture, it's the most important virtue to be cherished throughout the span of one's parents' lifetime. Being a filial son is the uppermost duty of any Chinese son.However, because the current generation is more focused on their careers than caring for parents, the Chinese government — in order to deal with a problem that's caused by its own national policies such as the draconian one-child policy which has resulted in a dwindling workforce and a rapidly ageing population — has taken the legal way.In 2013, it passed a law called "The Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly People Bill" requiring that adult children provide mental support, in addition to financial support and life care, to their parents once they reach the age of 60.

While compelling adult children to care for their ageing parents by the use of the law has come into criticism on Chinese social media sites, such a measure is a key indicator of the level of concern in the Chinese society about who can care for the growing ranks of elderly

“The intention is good, but an unenforceable law seems like mixing law and ethics,” wrote popular newspaper columnist and social commentator Yao Bo.Regardless of its efficacy, the law has nevertheless succeeded in drawing attention to the plight of elderly parents, who increasingly are left to fend for themselves as their children pursue opportunities elsewhere.The one-child policy has exacerbated the situation, demographic experts say, by reducing the number children available to visit and care for a family’s elder members.

In a move that takes the law a step further, a small Chinese village, Huangfeng, in the south-western Sichuan province has decided to name and shame people who do not care for their ageing parents

The regulations — to force offspring to take their responsibilities seriously — were drawn upon after elderly people of the village raised concerns that they were not being treated well by their offspring."Filial piety is China's greatest virtue," said Zhang Yiping, local party village secretary."And Chinese people also hate losing face, so making their bad behaviour public will make them ashamed and persuade them to change their ways," he added.Now those considered guilty are shamed by plastering their pictures on billboards.

And the village has no plan to just stick to naming and shaming

While at the moment their names and photos along with their personal details and wrongdoings in how they treated their ageing parents are put on the public billboard, next year the village is planning to take their "name and shame" campaign a stage further.“We are planning to shame villagers who don't fulfil filial duties on loudspeakers from January,” Mr. Zhang said, adding that the rules don't violate people's rights to privacy."The rules were approved at the village committee by our representatives, so it is perfectly legal,” he was reported as saying by The Telegraph.

This particular machine was one of the first computers that Apple ever made, a real piece of history. Jobs and Wozniak designed and hand-built around 200 of these computers in Jobs' parents' garage, beginning in 1976. It was Apple's first product.

        huffingtonpost.com

READ: The vintage Apple computer that was auction and fetched nearly $400,000

It sold Monday at a Christie's online-only auction. The auction house did not disclose the name of the buyer. The seller was a retired school psychologist from Sacramento, Calif.

The Apple 1 was built by Steve Wozniak. Vintage Apple products have become a hot item since Steve Jobs' death in October 2011. Jobs joined forces with Steve Wozniak to build computer prototypes in a California garage.

        mercurynews.com

The price marks a huge increase from its 1976 sale price—about $2,800 in today's dollars—and shows how rare, highly prized vintage electronics are quickly joining art, wine and cars as a new class of collectibles.

        cnbc.com

In May 2013, another Apple 1 was sold for a record $671,400

An Apple-1 computer, made in 1976, sold for a record $671,400 on Saturday at an auction in Germany, including all fees and taxes, said Uwe Breker, the German auctioneer.

        nytimes.com

It surpassed the $640,000 record for an Apple-1, set last November at a sale at the same auction house in Cologne, Germany, Auction Team Breker. The fall 2012 sale was a sharp rise from the previous record price for an Apple-1 of $374,500, set in June 2012 at Sotheby’s in New York.

Please do not imitate what we did," Ria said.The couple also appeared on Indonesian talk show Rumpi No Secret and apologised to the public for her perceived parental negligence."She's at the age where if she was uncomfortable, she would have expressed her emotions. However, she was quite calm and quiet throughout the jet ski ride," Ria explained.

Viral Nasi Lemak Stall Is Giving Away 600 Free Packets For Its 1st Week In Shah Alam

The famous Nasi Lemak Jambatan Tamparuli (NLJT) stall from Kuching, Sarawak has brought their humble business across the sea to Shah Alam, Selangor

The popular stall went viral last year after its owner, Ustaz Mohd Ali Jainneh, became unlikely friends with a dog that often visited the stall for food.Mohd Ali always kept aside some chicken for the dog, whom he nicknamed Abang Long and deemed it the stall's honorary bodyguard.

Continuing to spread kindness, Mohd Ali shared that he is giving away 600 packets of nasi lemak for his first week of operation in Shah Alam

"To celebrate our first week of opening, we are welcoming residents of Shah Alam to get 100 packets of Nasi Lemak Biasa for free every day for six consecutive days," Mohd Ali said in a Facebook post."Hopefully this small effort can help those in need and will be able to introduce NLJT to the whole of Malaysia."He added that the free nasi lemak packets will be given out from 2 February to 7 February on a first come, first served basis.

Image via Nasi Lemak Jambatan Tamparuli (Facebook)

Meanwhile, he said the stall will only be selling plain nasi lemak, nasi lemak with egg, and nasi lemak with fried chicken for the first week."This is because all of our equipment and utensils are still on the way from Sarawak. God willing, all the other side dishes will be ready to be served by next week.”

The business owner also revealed that he moved to Selangor because he did not want to be away from his wife who recently found a job here

In an earlier post, Mohd Ali wrote that it was with a heavy heart that he has to leave Sarawak, where he had been selling nasi lemak since 2016 in Kuching and Kota Samarahan."Even though the business has been growing, it is not easy for a husband and wife to be apart. We have to change our plans and follow God's path," he shared."NLJT is actually my wife's business. She was the one who made me a businessman, the one who taught me how to cook and how to maintain my shop's good quality.""So when she got the news that she had to move to Shah Alam, I didn't think twice about moving the business even though I would have to start from scratch."

Image via Nasi Lemak Jambatan Tamparuli (Facebook)

During his last day of operation in Sarawak, Mohd Ali also managed to share one last moment with his furry friend

"Goodbye, don't forget me please," read one of the photos of Abang Long.Concern poured in for the dog's welfare. However, Mohd Ali assured his followers that Abang Long is actually not a stray but has an owner in the same neighbourhood."Just so everyone knows, he has an owner and his house is near our stall. But he just loves the smell of our fried chicken," he laughed.

Omer Taskara, an operations manager at Metro Istanbul, describes Boji as a "calm and peaceful dog"."Istanbulites have embraced Boji," Omer told Middle East Eye.And it's true. Locals frequently post their pictures and selfies with the mixed-breed dog, who easily attracts attention and love through his golden-brown fur, dark eyes, and floppy ears.

Bugün biraz yoğundu, Fatih’te başlayan günümüz Bayrampaşa, Başakşehir metroları derken akşamüstü kendimi Üsküdar’a attım. Arada tanıyanlar çıktı, onlarla da selfie yaptım.  pic.twitter.com/s3StrHWMYi— Boji (@boji_ist) October 3, 2021

However, there are some who do not like Boji using public transport

And these people are using deceit and lies to frame and slander the beloved street dog.Amidst his rising popularity, they have accused Boji of pooping on trams and ferries and dirtying the seats.On Twitter, a Pro-Erdogan account is running a smear campaign against Boji.Boji refuted the allegation through his own Twitter account, stating that he wasn't even in Istanbul that day.

Bugün tüm gün kulübedeydim, İstanbul’u gezmedim bile. Tramvayı kirletip suçu bana atmışsın. Kötüsün. https://t.co/HNrSu1Tqsu— Boji (@boji_ist) November 19, 2021

One such person was caught on video planting the poop

The closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage is pretty damning as it shows the person taking out the dried poop from his pockets and placing it on the tram seat while looking to see if anyone has noticed.

It's a different kind of a low when people try to frame a dog

For those wondering, Boji seems to be doing well.His Twitter account posted that he was at the shelter yesterday amidst the frame job.

Bugün tüm gün barınakta hocam ile takıldım, merak edenlere. pic.twitter.com/ZcMHn824rz— Boji (@boji_ist) November 19, 2021

Meanwhile, over in India, a man was physically torturing a stray dog as others watched when a cow charged at him to 'rescue' the dog:

Another Diner With A Pink Tag Spotted At A Restaurant In KL

A photo of a man allegedly flouting mandatory home quarantine by dining at a restaurant in Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur has gone viral on Twitter

The photo was uploaded by Malaysian YouTuber Isaac Osman yesterday, 21 July, and it has since garnered over 31,000 retweets.The man can be seen wearing a pink tag on his left wrist, a similar band that is worn by those under home quarantine for 14 days. New Straits Times reported that those sporting the hospital tag should not be out in public."This is an example of a cow who doesn't know how to eat in his barn," wrote Isaac."This kopitiam is located near Desa Sri Hartamas. I just walked away because cows can't understand humans."

Image via Twitter @IsaacosmanTV

When contacted by SAYS, Isaac said he had lodged a report to the Ministry of Health (MOH)

"The incident took place at 2.10pm yesterday," he said, adding that he made the report via a MOH hotline.Isaac related that he was shocked that he would find a man flouting mandatory home quarantine in front of him following a similar case in Ipoh, Perak, which has made headlines nationwide recently."At that time, the individual sat outside of the store, where about six other customers were at. Six more customers were inside the kopitiam," said the YouTuber with over 630,000 subscribers.He said the man was dining alone at the restaurant.

Isaac said he only knew the man was wearing a pink wristband after his friends alerted him

He told SAYS that he and his friends immediately left the premise following the discovery.

"In my opinion, action should also be taken against the shop operator as well since they allowed the individual to enter the premise," he said."The store operator should be the first to report the case if it happens again. With the decline of active cases in the country, many restaurant operators are getting increasingly lazier in checking the temperature and logging visitors.""This is a big contrast to the situation last month, where operators were more afraid and more cautious." According to New Straits Times, a source said the police will be investigating the matter.

Keep practising social distancing and wash your hands often. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

The woman with a pink wristband who was spotted dining at a restaurant in Ipoh, Perak has tested positive for COVID-19:

The 72-year-old woman initially tested negative for the coronavirus disease when she arrived in Malaysia on 4 July.

TMJ Accuses Police Special Branch Of Spying On Him Like He Is Some Terrorist

In an interview posted on the JOHOR Southern Tigers' fan page on Wednesday, 11 May, when Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim was asked if he has "any message for the fans or players"

TMJ went off from the topic of the interview - about the success of the Johor Darul Tazim (JDT) football team, which will be facing the Selangor's PKNS FC in the 2016 FA Cup final this Saturday at the Shah Alam Stadium - and, while expressing puzzlement, claimed that his phone is being tapped and his "movements are monitored".

TMJ accused the Special Branch behind all this, saying such treatments from police are befitting a terrorist, not him as he is "not dangerous". He also alleged that the Bukit Aman police HQ had opened files on him and his father, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.

As posted on the JOHOR Southern Tigers' fan page:

"I don't understand why my phone is bugged. I don't understand why my movements are monitored by the Special Branch. I don't understand why they need a file about me or my father in Bukit Aman. I'm only someone who cares about my people. Not a terrorist. I'm not dangerous. I have never killed anyone except for Malaysian football."

TMJ, who often makes comments on issues related to Malaysian politics, had in October last year claimed Johor has a right to withdraw from Malaysia if it finds a breach of the terms agreed upon its membership of the Federation of Malaya. However, even merely speaking about secession is actually considered seditious.

Is it possible that the allegations TMJ is putting on Bukit Aman are related to his claims about secession? However, there have been no further developments on any of these issues. In view of which, at this point in time, it's unclear as to why the Special Branch is spying on TMJ, as claimed by the Johor Crown Prince.We will update the story in case there are any developments.

UPDATE 06:00PM
After we published the story at 04:10 PM, IGP Khalid Abu Bakar, while speaking to Malaysiakini, said that the whole issue was nothing but a misunderstanding, and it has been cleared

"I had an audience with the crown prince. It was a misunderstanding, and the issue has been cleared. The issue has been settled, and the matter has been explained to the prince," the IGP told Malaysiakini while refusing to elaborate on the matter.

PM & Cabinet Ministers Will Be Donating 3 Months Of Their Salaries To Fight COVID-19

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

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has announced that he and all of the Cabinet ministers will not be receiving their monthly salaries for three months

In a special announcement of the government's financial assistance programme tonight, 31 May, Muhyiddin said the money would instead be channelled to the National Disaster Relief Fund to show their solidarity in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic as a country.The effort was announced as part of the Pemerkasa Plus programme — RM40 billion in economic aid that will be given to help the rakyat through the total lockdown, which has also been dubbed the 'Full Movement Control Order' (FMCO).The FMCO will begin nationwide starting midnight tonight for two weeks until 14 June in view of the rise in COVID-19 cases.

Muhyiddin said Pemerkasa Plus will have three main targets

The programme seeks to boost public healthcare capacity, preserve people's welfare, and ensure the sustainability of businesses."As I have pointed out before, the closure of several sectors will have a tremendous impact on the national economy and the rakyat's lives. I wish to be honest that the government has very limited fiscal space to spend at this time," said the premier."But based on the concern of people's welfare, the government will do its best to ensure a balance between lives and livelihoods through the FMCO."

Image via SAYS (Facebook)

Here are the highlights of the initiatives under the Pemerkasa Plus programme:

- RM2.1 billion will be allocated to the Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat (BPR) programme to help households earning less than RM5,000 a month and individuals earning less than RM2,500 a month.- A choice of a moratorium on loans for three months or reduction of loan repayments by 50% for six months for those in the B40 group, who lost work, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that cannot operate during FMCO.- A special one-off assistance of RM500 for tourist drivers, taxi drivers, and school bus drivers, as well as rental car drivers and e-hailing drivers.- The government will allocate RM1.5 billion to extend the Social Security Organisation's (SOCSO) wage subsidy programme for another month.- Students from local institutions of higher learning will be able to claim RM150 in e-wallet credit through the e-Belia programme.- Free upskilling will be given to employees through over 400 modules and courses available online under the e-Latih portal.- Eligible SMEs will receive a total payout of RM1,500 by July through the Geran Khas Prihatin (GKP) programme.- 10% discount in electricity bills for affected sectors, including hotel operators, travel agencies, shopping complexes, convention centres, theme parks, and airline offices.- The Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) will waive penalties for late renewal of business licenses for micro businesses, sole proprietorships, and partnerships until 31 December.- Building and business premise owners who reduce rental rate for their business premises by 30% for six months up to 31 December will get special tax deductions.- There will be duty stamp exemption under the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) that was supposed to end today, 31 May, will be extended to 31 December.

Roommates Rob Sleeping Man Of RM7,300 By Unlocking His Phone With Facial Recognition

Sometimes facial recognition features are convenient, but other times it could very well betray you, as this man in China found out

Image via Tencent/Tech In Asia

A man named only as "Yuan" from Zhejiang province, China woke up one morning and found that he had been robbed of 12,000 yuan (approximately RM7,300) in life savings, reported South China Morning Post.The amount had been transferred out of Yuan's WeChat Pay account.

Following a report, police found that the culprits were Yuan's very own roommates

His roommates admitted that they had stolen the money, using the phone's facial recognition feature to unlock the man's phone and transferred the money to their own accounts.The theft was successful despite the fact that the victim had been asleep during the incident. According to South China Morning Post, many smartphones which are fitted with facial recognition systems do not require iris scanning, so they can be unlocked more easily.

"It seems the facial recognition feature on Yuan's phone isn't very reliable," a police officer told South China Morning Post."We conducted our own tests and found you could unlock it even with the eyes closed."Fortunately, police were able to recover Yuan's stolen money.

In response to the report, a network information security technology expert advised users to stick to using personal identification numbers

Shanghai Zhongren Network Security Co founder Tan Jianfeng told South China Morning Post that passwords can be changed but "biometric information is not reproducible"."Once it has been leaked, you can't get a new face. In the era of big data, once a biometric authentication has been completed, all of that information is converted into machine code – and as long as it is in that form, it can be intercepted," he explained.

'Ah Longs' Are Now Using Mobile Apps To Prey On Younger M'sians

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

Remember those flyers we used to see on the walls of Kuala Lumpur buildings offering to help people in need of financial aid?

Well, as technology advances and humans discover new ways to consume content, 'Ah Longs' (loan sharks) have also discovered new ways to fish for younger Malaysians.These loan sharks have abandoned traditional methods of advertising, such as passing or pasting flyers and posters, in favour of developing mobile applications aimed at attracting millennials and Gen-Zs, reported Kosmo.

Compared to the traditional method, this new technologically advanced method was created for these 'Ah Longs' to be more systematic in trapping their prey

These syndicates also use paid advertising on social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook to reach a wider audience and strengthen their ability to attract and retain customers who are interested in applying for loans.Zharif Johor, the working secretary of the Islamic Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM), said that over the past two years, an estimated 49 illegal money loan applications had been developed.

According to Zharif, these Ah Longs are also using WhatsApp to spread scams in the hopes that gullible people will download them and end up borrowing money from shady lenders

"The loan offered is as low as RM300 and the borrower will get RM150 of that amount and will have to repay it within a week or two," he told Kosmo.He went on to say that the first report of the syndicate was received in November of 2019, but the number of reports grew higher and higher when many people lost their jobs as a result of the Movement Control Order (MCO)."Advertisements for apps on social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube are beginning to pique users' interest. These advertisements popped out of nowhere as if they could read the user's mind," he added.

Image via New Straits Times

However, only Android users are able to download these Ah Longs' applications as they are not available on the Apple Store

Zharif went on to say that initially, these loan sharks would charge interest at 30% of the loan amount, but after blackmailing the victim, the interest rate would skyrocket to as much as 800% for a single day of late payment.To make matters worse, even as the victim's financial situation worsens due to the compounding interest, they will continue to receive offers via new messaging channels."Some victims have borrowed from more than 10 applications, with monthly debts reaching RM20,000, because of this method of operation," said Zharif."These loan sharks will also distribute photographs and contact information for close relatives and friends if their borrower is unable to make repayments."


A Couple In China Sold Their New Born Baby To Buy What?

The woman gave birth at home, and shortly after began to post an online advertisement for someone to take her daughter

Besides reportedly telling everyone that Ms. Zhang's baby bump was a tumor, the couple allegedly resorted to a home birth and exchanged their baby for a cash payment.

        go.com

Prosecution in court said their ad stated they would consider parting with the child in exchange for 50,000 yuan — about $8,200. After the baby was born, they delivered her to one of the advertisement responders, prosecutors said.

        iclarified.com

That same day the couple’s bank account reflected a large cash deposit.

        tribune.com.pk

After the alleged "trade," the couple reportedly went on an online shopping spree, purchasing an iPhone and high-end athletic shoes, among other items.

        emirates247.com

The couple, known only as Mr. Teng and Ms. Zhang, admitted the baby was given to another family but they claim it was given away not for money.

“We did not give the baby away for money but in order to give it more security” with a family that could provide an education, they said, The Telegraph reported.

        washingtontimes.com

Image via tribune.com.pk

Prosecutors call the transaction a “sinister conspiracy” to sell the baby and say credit card bills from the couple seized after the money was deposited show several purchases.

        tribune.com.pk

Chinese netizens have taken to the Web to weigh in on the couple's consumer behavior.

"So cold-blooded! These people do not deserve the right to be parents!" said Wangzhan1969 in a microblog posting.

"This is good business -- no capital, huge profit and no need to sell kidneys," said another posting.

We recently had a chat with Hew to ask him for hair colouring tips and how to deal with common coloured hair problems

SAYS: A common question everyone asks is 'How do I deal with dryness after colouring or bleaching my hair?' What do you suggest?

Hew: Besides adding hair treatment like Olaplex or keratin/collagen treatments into every colouring/bleaching service, I always ensure that my client's hair is maintained at its best condition with the right home care routine, from washing, conditioning, and using treatment and the right products to drying and styling with the right temperature. I recommend doing the Global Milbon 360 degree hair care system monthly in the salon. It includes a smoothening/moisturising intensive treatment, four weeks of home care weekly booster treatment, and daily shampoo and treatment for maintenance.Always use leave-in treatment/serum/oils for heat protection/humidity, and always use 160ºC and below if styling with hot tools.

SAYS: What hair colours can one do without needing to bleach?

Hew: For Asian dark hair, you can do brown, warm brown, cool brown, honey brown, caramel brown, red, copper, burgundy, and all neutral to warm tone colours.

SAYS: What hair colours suit darker skin tones?

Hew: To enhance (your skin tone), use warm colours, red, burgundy, copper, and etc. To neutralise (your skin tone), use brown, cool brown, beige, light colours, and etc.

SAYS: How do I pick a good hair colour tone that suits my skin undertone?

Hew: Always pick colours according to your eye colour, complexion, skin tone, and natural hair colour — you will never go wrong when you leave some of your natural hair colour as your colour base or shadow roots.

SAYS: Do hair treatments work? Which is the best hair treatment in your opinion?

Hew: Hair treatments always work best when you use the right one for your hair condition. Example: Olaplex always works best if you've bleached your hair because it aims to rebuild your broken bonds. K-Gloss Keratin treatment works best when your hair is frizzy and unruly because it tames your frizz, and strengthens and provides silky shine to your hair. Milbon Japanese No. 1 professional hair brand understands Asian hair and always makes your hair smooth and soft.

SAYS: How often am I supposed to wash my hair once it's dyed?

Hew: It always depends on your daily habits. If you're a daily washer, please choose neutral hair colours like brown or beige, so the colours last longer. If you choose to bleach your hair purple, violet, red, orange, blue, green, ash, blonde, platinum, or vivid colours, please reduce your frequency of washing hair to once in two days, three days, or a week. These colours fade depending on the number of times you shampoo, so I recommend using colour safe shampoos or purple/violet/blue/other toning shampoos for home maintenance.

Image via @glenhew (Instagram)

SAYS: What's the difference between lowlights and highlights?

Hew: When your current hair colour base is light, I always recommend doing lowlights, which will tone down some of the lighter base and give contrast and dimension to the hair.Highlights is for most Asian dark hair because it creates lighter lines or stripes on a dark base for a dimension effect on the hair. We can also use lowlights and highlights on our hair to contour our face shape with light and dark visual face-framing high/lowlights technique.

SAYS: How many rounds of bleaching can one head take?

Hew: It depends on the hair condition, texture, bleach type, peroxide/developer, and treatment added.For example, healthy hair with thicker texture can be bleached five to six times with low bleach and lower peroxide/developer like 10vol 3% with Olaplex treatment. I always recommend using bleach with lower peroxide/developer like 10vol 3% and Olaplex to bleach our hair for safety purposes. It takes a little longer compared to 9% and 12% peroxide/developer but your hair will still be left in a very healthy condition.

Image via Provided to SAYS

SAYS: What other tips do you have for colouring hair?

Hew: If you have virgin hair, meaning you've never done any hair colouring, always opt for bleach-free colours like balayage or highlights, and only use high lift (lighter) colours to lift up your hair with foil. This maintains your natural colour pigments and moistures your hair. High lift (lighter) colours cannot lift yellow undertones for much cooler colours like ash, blue, violet, blonde, and etc, and it can't lift darker coloured hair, like black or henna. So there's no choice but to bleach the hair to remove the artificial colour pigments, and eventually this also affects the protein and moisture in your hair.

Anwar Ibrahim Nominated For 2016 Nobel Peace Prize?

A group of 10 local NGOs are positive that incarcerated politician, Anwar Ibrahim should be nominated for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize this year

The local NGOs speaking about nominating Anwar Ibrahim for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, at a press conference held yesterday, 5 January
Image via Free Malaysia Today

Led by activists from the 1998 Reformasi movement, Otai Reformasi chair Saari Sungib told a press conference in Petaling Jaya today that they were informed of Anwar's nomination by an undisclosed party.Their support, Saari said, was partly based on rights group Amnesty International's recognition of Anwar as a "prisoner of conscience" who must be freed.

        malaysiakini.com

"He's on that level. The best person who is willing to sacrifice his time, comfort, his freedom for the purpose of bringing about true realisation of the important things like true governance, no corruption as well as things that relate to democracy and freedom," said Saari.

        channelnewsasia.com

Championing their support for Anwar, Otai Reformasi's head, Saari Sungib highlighted that the UK based human rights NGO and Nobel Prize winner, Amnesty International has dubbed Anwar as "prisoner of conscience" twice in the past

Their support, Saari said, was partly based on rights group Amnesty International's recognition of Anwar as a "prisoner of conscience" who must be freed."He (Anwar) has been twice recognised as Amnesty International's prisoner of conscience and Amnesty has also twice been awarded the Nobel Prize," he added.

        malaysiakini.com

Started more than a century ago, in 1901, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded annually to exceptional individuals that have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses"

Former South African President, the late Nelson Mandela was awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize award in 1993

The Nobel Prize award was created by prominent scientist and inventor of dynamite, Alfred Noble and as per his will and wishes, the recipients of this award can only be selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. As for the nominators for this prize, it has to come from qualified nominators that fulfill these criteria:

The selection process is a lengthy one; starting in January as the committee waits for the nominations and selections are finalised in October, while the awards will be presented in December.

The NGOs also took the opportunity during the press conference held yesterday, 5 January, to inform the public about the planned 'Free Anwar, Save the Nation' rally that is set to be held on 3 April at the Dataran Merdeka

As part of their sustained campaign to free Anwar, who is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for sodomy, Saari announced that a rally themed 'Free Anwar, Save the Nation' will be held at Dataran Merdeka on April 3.Saari said on April 2, a Reformasi convention will be held, with participants from Indonesia, Timor Leste, the Philippines and Tunisia, among other countries.

        malaysiakini.com

While speaking about Anwar, national laureate A Samad Said, commented that his sacrifices and contributions to the nation must be taken into count and honoured in a dignified manner

"He (Anwar) is a man of conscience, vision and action who is now languishing under lock and key."We do not want him to continue wasting in jail when he still has so much left to contribute," Samad (photo) said.

        malaysiakini.com

“We are not here to start a campaign, or to get signatures for Anwar to get the prize. That’s not how it works," stressed PKR's Batu MP Tian Chua

PKR’s Tian Chua who was also at the press conference, stated that the nomination of Anwar to the Nobel Committee was submitted by a group of internationals.“We are here to state our support for a leader that deserves recognition beyond the borders of Malaysia,” he said and added that apart from awards and recognition, Anwar needed to be exonerated and released.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Former deputy prime minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been in the limelight since his controversial arrest for high-level corruption and sodomy charges in 1998.
His political comeback was seen in 2013 when he led the opposition coalition to win 89 parliamentary seats in the 13th General Elections.

Image via The Sydney Morning Herald

Anwar won the parliamentary seat of the Permatang Pauh constituency and was its member of parliament from 28 August 2008 till 16 March 2015. But in March 2014, his legal troubles ensued and he was slapped with a 5-year prison sentence that commenced on 10 February 2015. International organisations, human rights committees, world leaders, including American President Barack Obama, expressed their disappointment over the matter, calling it an infringement on democracy.

The first Malaysian to have won the Nobel Peace Prize was Mohd Nasarudin Mohd Yusof.
He received it with his team at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) back in 2013.

All that Mohd Nasarudin Mohd Yusof wanted to do after moving to The Hague, Netherlands, and joining the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) three years ago, was to make Malaysia proud of his service there.Never did the 52-year-old retired Malaysian Armed Forces personnel dream that he would get a chance to fly the Jalur Gemilang high with a Nobel Peace Prize 2013 award for his work at the intergovernmental organisation that ensures member countries adhere to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the use of chemical weapons and requires their destruction.“I did not win the Nobel prize for individual achievement. I received it with my organisation, for the whole team’s work,” said the chemical weapons and munition specialist.The Nobel Peace Prize to the OPCW consisted of a medal, a diploma and a cash prize of about 900,000 euro (RM3.77mil).

Meanwhile, events of the past and the magnanimous support that Anwar gained over the years, prove that a huge number of Malaysians are avid supporters of him and democracy:
