Old Statues Trying On Hipster Clothes! #RANDOMWEDNESDAY

What is a hipster? Photographer Léo Caillard thought he’d have a little fun with the question and this is what came out:

He transformed this stone sculpture completely, Ray Bans, checked shirt and all

Léo got the idea while walking through the Louvre’s sculpture galleries in Paris

The 28-year-old Léo, who lives in Paris, told NBC News via email that the idea came to him in January 2012 during one of his regular visits to the Louvre.

        nbcnews.com

"When I looked at the classical statues, I had the idea of dressing them up because many of them had a hipster attitude and trendy poses that we usually see in fashion magazines," he explained.

        architizer.com

"I chose to modernize the statues because they represent iconic people, gods and famous people from that period of time. And as soon as I dressed them up, they suddenly became ... a regular cool guy that you could see anytime in the street."

        nbcnews.com

The process of animating the figures with hipster cool was two-fold

Image via dailymail.co.uk

First, he shot the sculptures in-situ at the Louvre from various angles. For example, this:

Then, he scouted Paris for models with proportions that matched those of the statues. And the final results looked like this:

Using Photoshop, Léo digitally clothed the stone personnages in contemporary garb

Carefully, he removed the skinny jeans, flannel shirts, and Ray-Bans off his models and onto their marble counterparts

He then dropped in shadows and adjusted for light levels to complete the illusion. Like, for example, this one:

Léo says that each image, from research to photo shoots to digital manipulation, took up to 3 weeks to complete

"It's a long process of work, but it looks really real, and that's the most important," said Léo Caillard, who started his photography work at 19.

        dailymail.co.uk

He said despite the controversy over the images, most people have reacted positively to the work. "They laugh a lot but they also like the meaning inside, that people are the same now as they were before" he said.

But this isn't the first time Léo has messed with convention

In 2011 he digitally manipulated artworks in The Louvre to display elements from Apple's operating system, iOS, making it seem as though viewers were looking at the works through a giant iPad or computer screen.

Have you ever marvelled at your kids' drawings before?

It can be fun to see what their imaginative minds come up with, as kids tend to interpret the world around them differently. As parents, it's also good practice to encourage your children to explore their creative side through art, whether it's by displaying their drawings on the fridge, or sharing them with family and friends.

This Children's Day, your child can take part in an exciting contest by Goodday Milk, which challenges them to come up with new and fun designs for personal protective equipment (PPE) :D

Image via Goodday Milk (Provided to SAYS)

Together with Entropia, a part of Accenture Interactive, they are launching the Happee PPE contest for kids aged between 5 to 12 years old. From 25 October to 14 November, kids will get the chance to give PPE a feel-good makeover with their creative drawings! Plus, the winning sketches will be incorporated into the actual PPE suits worn by frontliners, and distributed to different hospitals across Malaysia, wah! This will surely bring smiles to hospitalised children, by making PPE suits more kid-friendly and cheery, by kids, for kids! Now that's a whole new level of displaying your child's art. :P

Is your child ready to unleash their artistic side with a little friendly competition? Here's how they can participate!

All you have to do is post a photo of your kid's drawing in the comments section of Goodday Milk's Facebook post. You can even upload your kid's drawing on your Instagram, and set your profile to public. Make sure to include #GooddayMilkMalaysia and #GooddayHappeePPEs in your submissions!Whether you choose to snap a photo of your kid's drawing or scan it, make sure it looks clear so the judges can have a good look at the designs.On 22 November, a total of three sketches will be chosen as the winning entries, and in addition to being featured on actual PPE, each winner will also be entitled to an education fund worth RM10,000 each.

Aside from bringing joy and happiness to hospitalised children with this fun contest, Goodday Milk hopes to remove the scary impression kids have about PPE

This contest gives children a chance to create a more approachable version of the PPE suit.Yee Pek Kuan, Vice President of Marketing at Etika, said that while the use of PPE is more prevalent during the pandemic, children are still afraid when they come across healthcare frontliners wearing the medical equipment."Our new campaign champions, 'Give good, get good' – a positive, universal belief that helps makes the world a better place."It's about how a small act of good can trigger a flow of goodness – beginning from the one who starts the good to others who pay it forward. Eventually, it comes back full circle to the 'originator' in one way or another. And by this, is to help hospitalised children deal with often-traumatic experiences, in a happier way," she shared.

Jom, let the goodness flow and encourage your kids to join this fun and meaningful competition! Find out more at Goodday Milk's Facebook or Instagram page.

Tech-Illiterate Mum Learns How To Use Phone To Help Her Daughter Attend Online Class

A technologically-challenged mother from Simpang, Perak went through quite a bit of trouble to make sure her daughter had the resources she needed to follow online classes

The teacher who helped her, Nazirul Mu'izz Azmi from Sekolah Kebangsaan Dato' Alaudin, said she came all the way to school to ask for help.Sharing the encounter on Facebook, Nazirul said he was busy finishing some paperwork in the school office when the mother approached him to ask how to download Telegram on her mobile phone for her daughter's online classes."Cikgu, can you help download Telegram for me? This phone doesn't have it and I don't know how," she said.

Image via Nazirul Mu'izz Azmi (Facebook)

Nazirul said he would help her, but both the Internet and phone connection was poor in the rural school area

"The problem was that the line is terrible at our school. I downloaded the app using the office Wi-Fi, but the confirmation code via text message couldn't come through," he said, knowing there was better signal outside the building.However, drowned with work, Nazirul said he had to stay at the desk to finish his chores.He said he was sorry but he asked the mother to walk out to the school guardhouse to get a better signal to find out her phone number through the network menu as well as receive the confirmation number."I apologised to her numerous times. I was just too stressed with my work to leave my desk and the line was a real problem. But she didn't seem to mind and just wanted to get it done."

Image via Nazirul Mu'izz Azmi (Facebook)

It took her a few tries and she walked in and out of the school multiple times, but Nazirul said she finally got it

He said she intially looked flustered and struggled to remember her phone number which needed to be keyed in after downloading the app.However, she soon came back in with her phone number written on her hand as well as the confirmation code on her phone."Is this it, cikgu?" she asked him, to which he replied it was and that he can help her register now.Nazirul said he registered her for Telegram, helped her daughter enter the online class group, and even placed the app on the phone's home screen so that they can find it easily.Sharing pictures of the determined mother and her phone with a cracked screen, Nazirul wished the mother and her daughter well in all that they did."These are some of the struggles that people in rural areas face just to ensure their children do not get left behind in their education," he wrote.

People Defend Permatang Pauh MP After Residents Only Thank Nurul Izzah For Help

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

Residents in several areas across three districts in Penang recently faced a 48-hour water supply disruptions due to maintenance work at the Sungai Dua water treatment plant (LRA), which began last Friday, 2 December

Following the water outage, Permatang Pauh's former member of parliament (MP) Nurul Izzah Anwar documented her efforts in helping distribute clean water to residents of Taman Pauh Indah via her Instagram Story, reported Oh My Media.It was also understood that Nurul Izzah worked with the Permatang Pauh's Fire and Rescue Department to assist the locals.

Image via @n_izzah (Instagram)

Residents of Taman Pauh Indah took to social media to thank Nurul Izzah, but they also wondered where the current Permatang Pauh MP, Muhammad Fawwaz Muhammad Jan, was during the water disruption

TikTok user, @tinisaad0505, uploaded a 9-second clip in which Nurul Izzah can be seen helping the residents of the area who lined up next to a firetruck with buckets to collect water."But where is the current Permatang Pauh MP? Where did you go?" the user asked.

  @tinisaad0505 Thank you. Puan Nurul Izzah Anwar .Arrange water supply at Taman Pauh Indah.  Hang pi mana..... hang pi mana..... HANG PI MANA Wakil rakyat Matang Pauh.  #permatangpauh #ahliparlimen #hangpimanatu #pulaupinang #nurulizzahanwar   Hang Pi Mana - Khalifah

People praised Nurul Izzah for her efforts in assisting the residents of the area

"Good job Yang Berhormat (YB), pity us Permatang Pauh residents," said one user.

Image via @tinisaad0505 (TikTok)

Others praised and thanked Nurul Izzah for her outstanding work.

Image via @tinisaad0505 (TikTok)

"Next time vote for Nurul Izzah," said another.

Image via @tinisaad0505 (TikTok)

Another user said he regretted voting for Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the 15th General Election (GE15).

Image via @tinisaad0505 (TikTok)

Meanwhile, one netizen questioned the whereabouts of Fawwaz and asked, "Where is that ustaz?"

Image via @tinisaad0505 (TikTok)

While some questioned his whereabouts, Fawwaz posted on his Facebook account earlier today, 5 December, that he was assisting residents of Kampung Petani, which falls in his constituency

Fawwaz assisted residents in the area after a clogged pipe was discovered, causing floods."Thank God, there were no more victims to evacuate as of yesterday," he said."I recommend that, during these shaky weather conditions, residents in lower areas, in particular, be prepared for any possibility of flooding."

Image via Ustaz Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan (Facebook)

Fawwaz was also praised for helping people of Kampung Petani

"Good job Ustaz. Keep on fighting for the people and for religion," said one user.

Image via Ustaz Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan (Facebook)

Another congratulated Fawwaz for his hard work and said that he did a good job as a new MP.

"It's weird to me that some portals are questioning Ustaz's whereabouts when Nurul Izzah was seen distributing water. Did they not check your Facebook?" asked another.

Single Hindu Mum Seeks To Nullify Unilateral Islamic Conversion Of Her 3 Kids

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

A Hindu mother is seeking a declaration that her Muslim convert ex-husband was legally unfit to unilaterally convert their kids to Islam.
She recently won a legal challenge to overturn the detention of her three minor children from Perlis Social Welfare Department (JKM).

Loh Siew Hong, a Penang-born Hindu Chinese, was finally reunited with her two 14-year-old twin girls and a 10-year-old boy after three years of fighting for their custody since her former husband abducted them and placed them under the care of Islamic non-governmental organisation Hidayah Centre Foundation operator Nazirah Nanthakumari Abdullah, who had reportedly refused the mother from seeing her children.The three children, who are Hindus, were unilaterally converted to Islam by their father.The 34-year-old woman is now knocking on the doors of the Kuala Lumpur High Court to seek several declarations with regards to ensuring religious freedom for all three of her minor children.Along with seeking a declaration that her former husband Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy was legally unfit to convert them to Islam, Loh is also seeking a declaration that a Perlis state enactment that allows a single parent to convert a minor child to Islam without the permission of the other parent is unconstitutional.Nagahswaran is currently serving jail time on drug-related charges.She also wants a declaration that her three children are of the Hindu faith, and not Muslim, as they were legally incapable to embrace Islam without her consent, Free Malaysia Today reported yesterday, 25 March.Loh also wants an order of certiorari to reverse the registration of conversion dated 7 July 2020 issued by the registrar and any official registration of her children's conversion be struck from the records.

Loh is seen breaking down after the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruling on 21 February.

Loh has named four respondents in her judicial review leave application filed at the Kuala Lumpur High Court registry on Friday

The judicial review application was filed by Messrs Srimurugan & Co.In it, Loh has named:- the Perlis Registrar of Muallafs (new converts to Islam),- the Religious and Malay Customs Council of Perlis (MAIPS),- Perlis mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, and- the Perlis state governmentMalaysiakini reported Loh's counsel Shamsher Singh Thind as explaining that the judicial review has been necessitated due to MAIPS filing to intervene in the divorce proceedings between Loh and Nagahswaran."Madam Loh was forced to file this application as MAIPS has applied to intervene in the concluded family proceeding to amend the custody order (granted to Loh by the civil court in relation to the three children). She was forced to file this application because MAIPS — in filing the (intervener) application — is acting upon the supposition that the children are Muslims," Malaysiakini quoted Shamsher as saying.In an application filed earlier this month, MAIPs has sought to be made a party in the civil court divorce proceedings so that they can apply for a variation on the terms of the sole custody order granted to Loh in order to take care of her children's welfare and ensure that their Muslim faith is "safeguarded".

Meanwhile, MAIPS has obtained a High Court order that prevents the reporting of the names and pictures of Loh's three children

On 17 March, the Kuala Lumpur High Court issued the order for all mainstream media organisations and social media platforms following a verbal request by MAIPS' lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla.The gag order includes the Muslim names the children were given following their conversion.The court also set the hearing date for MAIPs' application to intervene in the divorce petition on 29 April.

While Loh seeks to nullify her children's unilateral conversion, it's something Perlis mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin is against

In a statement after the ruling in February, he said that he is looking for "other legal means" to maintain the unilateral conversion of Loh's children, who Asri claimed, refused to go back to their mother."We are not surprised by the decision on the custody rights. What we are defending is the Islamisation of the children, if they want to continue to embrace Islam. We are looking at other measures," he said.Along with Asri, Deputy Religious Affairs Minister Ahmad Marzuk Shaary has insisted that the unilateral conversion is legal and valid despite a landmark Federal Court decision in 2018 that declared that the consent of both parents is needed before a certificate of conversion can be issued.

Red Hong Yi Brilliantly Uses Fire And Chopsticks To Create A Gorgeous Mural For Facebook

Art is a fascinating thing. And artists are fantastic!
One of them is our very own Red Hong Yi, a Sabah-born artist cum architectural designer. Red, as she is better known, has made a name for herself as an artist who 'paints without a paintbrush'.

Image via Red Hong Yi

The artist, who in past have used unusual materials to create her art installations, has outdone herself this time. She has created a mural made entirely out of chopsticks which she painted using FIRE!

Image via Red Hong Yi

Her latest mural is done for Facebook's Singapore office

The Social Network, Red wrote on her Facebook profile, wanted a mural on their 10-meter long wall, and requested that it be made of chopsticks as the wall is right beside their cafe."So instead of painting on the wall, I decided to set it ablaze," reads Red's post about the mural on her Facebook profile.And you gotta marvel at her dedication to her art!"15,000 bamboo chopsticks were glued, torched, then layered again and burnt a few more times to create depth and dimension to the piece."

Image via Red Hong Yi

Because she was creating the mural for Singapore, she decided to "depict the story of the Merlion - a mythical creature with the head of a lion and body of a fish, and its significance as Singapore's national icon", Red wrote on Facebook, posting 2-minute long video showing her working with her team to bring the epic mural to life

Image via Red Hong Yi

You can watch the video, which has already over 1,170,000 Views on Facebook since Red uploaded it on her profile on 18 May, below:

Painting with fire and chopsticksPainting with fire on chopsticks! A piece to find beauty in ordinary materials, and celebrate all that Singapore is today and in the days to come.  Facebook wanted a mural on their 10 meter long wall in their Singapore office, and requested that it be made of chopsticks as the space is right beside their cafe (which serves amazing food all day - employees are so lucky!). I wanted to explore bamboo chopsticks as a material and experiment with alternative methods to create murals, so instead of painting on the wall, I decided to set it ablaze. 15,000 bamboo chopsticks were glued, torched, then layered again and burnt a few more times to create depth and dimension to the piece.   This piece depicts the story of the Merlion - a mythical creature with the head of a lion and body of a fish, and its significance as Singapore's national icon. The Merlion is the guardian of Singapore and has protected the country from waves, storms and enemies, from its early days as a village to where it is now. The Merlion is seen smiling as it is looking forward to the the future with enthusiasm and hope.  Big thanks to Mond and Jannette of United Make - UDMK for working on this project with me on the design and construction (shown in video), as well as my team Vanessa Bong, Michael Mack and Sam Koh who illustrated, concept developed and managed this project (not shown in video). The amazing Jootz See of Back Alley Creations for shooting and directing this, and FB head chef Tim Wong for being game enough to act in this video (last-minute request! We actually really did take all of his chopsticks). And a massive thank you to Facebook Singapore for having me create this piece - it was so much fun and I loved working with your team, and in your beautiful office!  ps: Notice the little details - like the boats in his mane and the fisherman on his boat with his Facebook browser on, on his laptop (in reference to internet.org!).Posted by Red Hong Yi on Wednesday, May 18, 2016

PS: Don't miss the tiny details Red has added to the mural.

Why The Failure Of Discovery Channel's TV Show Called 'Eaten Alive' Is A Good Thing

Earlier in November, you read on SAYS about how Paul Rosolie, a 27-year-old American naturalist, filmmaker and adventurer in the Amazon was planning to be part of Discovery Channel's newest stunt where he would be eaten alive by a giant anaconda

Seen here is Paul Rosolie. He has been dubbed the 'Indiana Jones of the Amazon'
Image via dailymail.co.uk

Image via twimg.com

Image via digitaljournal.com

Paul, as Salon notes, is a dedicated naturalist who has made protecting the Amazon and its species his life's mission

Image via salon.com

The book he published earlier this year,”Mother of God,” combines adrenaline-fueled stories about his adventures in the rainforest with an earnest call to preserve the natural world.Reading through it, as Rosolie suggested his critics do, one’s struck by the passion he obviously felt for an ecosystem under threat, and particularly by the caution and respect with which he treated the anacondas he encountered there.Almost all of that is missing from “Eaten Alive’s” trailer, which comes off, as Salon’s Joanna Rothkopf put it, as an attempt at entertainment that “crosses the line from bad taste to outright… animal abuse.”

        salon.com

Well, the show finally aired on the night of 7 December and, guess what? Paul was not actually eaten by an anaconda. In fact, he wasn't even swallowed a little bit. His arm got chomped and then he begged out of the 15-minute-long traumatising stunt.

The anaconda's crushing power proved to be too much for Paul and his protective suit and the stunt had to be called off before it tried to swallow his head.
Image via Discovery

Though Discovery went through great lengths to design a suit that would protect Paul against the anaconda's fangs, compression, and stomach acid, as IFLS notes, they overlooked one tiny detail

Image via discovery.com

Paul Rosolie didn't look at all like something a giant anaconda might want to eat. Indeed, when the crew finally found the chosen snake, it really wasn't interested in trying to eat a human dressed up like the Tinman.In fact, when Rosolie first made contact with the snake, it was afraid and tried to escape.What to do when you've hyped up a show this much and the star isn't interested?Rather than making the decision to call the whole thing off, Rosolie decided to provoke the animal instead.Only then did the snake attack, biting and squeezing the armored intruder. However, it appears that Rosolie wasn't quite prepared for the reality of being constricted by an anaconda, and called in the crew to rescue him.

        iflscience.com

Image via someecards.com

After the failed show, thousands of people took to Twitter to express outrage that there wasn't a man eaten by an anaconda. According to digital marketing firm Amobee, there have been more than 110K tweets around the hashtag #EatenAlive since Sunday.

WAIT THE SNAKE DIDN'T EVEN EAT THE GUY? I've been #EatenAlive by exactly as many anacondas as the host of this ridiculous show?— David Shiffman (@WhySharksMatter) December 8, 2014

I guess calling this "Getting Squeezed Really Hard" didn't sound as enticing. #EatenAlive— Bobby Frasor (@BFrasor) December 8, 2014

I can relate to this #EatenAlive guy. I've been wrapped up in my comforter a little too tight and had trouble breathing. Not impressed.— Chase McDonald (@ChaseMcDonald3) December 8, 2014

Sorry that "Eaten Alive" guy didn't get eaten by a snake. Maybe this will help.
http://t.co/ZR8vl5yBKN pic.twitter.com/4uSRA26eUp— SB Nation (@SBNation) December 8, 2014

Hey @discovery, can I have my own show? #EatenAlive pic.twitter.com/OLEZykn1sx— BarstoolTrent (@BarstoolTrent) December 8, 2014

Next on Discovery..."Finding the Tooth Fairy" where I spend two hours looking for the Tooth Fairy, give up and get a burrito. #EatenAlive— Matt Lindner (@mattlindner) December 8, 2014

But here's why it's probably for the best

The only way for Rosolie to have gotten out of the snake’s stomach would have been for the crew to kill the snake and cut him out.Though this stunt was touted as a way to raise awareness about the Amazon and its biodiversity—including the anaconda—this wasn't scientific in nature at all, and didn't seek to benefit anyone except Discovery's bottom line and Rosolie's reputation.

You Can Now Sign A Petition For Najib To Stay As Prime Minister

In light of the recent signage of the Citizens' Declaration, an online petition has been set up to show support for Najib and to oppose all efforts to topple him as the Prime Minister of Malaysia

Image via Change.org

The online petition was set up on 12 March 2016 and it has gained over 2,200 signatures at the time of writing.

Created by a Johan Rashdan, the petition started off by stating how Najib won the General Elections back in 2013 and how he has carried out his duty as the Prime Minister of Malaysia

Najib winning the 13th General Elections back in 2013.
Image via ABC

On the 6th of May 2013, Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak had taken the oath of office as the Prime Minister of Malaysia before Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Al-Haj Ibni AlMarhum Sultan Badlishah Al-Haj.Since that day, Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak had performed his sacred oath of office as the Prime Minister and the government under his leadership had carried out its duties in the best interest of the Rakyat.

        change.org

It then proceeded to condemn the attempts to topple Najib as 'undemocratic' and 'unconstitutional'

However, there have been many attempts to discredit, tarnish, smear, remove and even over-throw the democratic elected government of the Rakyat lead by Dato’ Sri Mohd.

Yeo Bee Yin: Govt Needs To Take Urgent Action As Johor Hospital ICU Usage Exceeds 90%

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

Bakri MP Yeo Bee Yin has raised urgent concerns over the worsening COVID-19 situation in Johor

Taking to her Facebook page, Yeo said that there is a worrying upwards trend in the number of coronavirus-related deaths and hospital intensive care unit (ICU) usage in the state.In an accompanying graph, it shows that the rolling death numbers have risen continuously since early July, with the current death toll exceeding 45 a day."There is a need to look thoroughly into Johor Covid (sic) situation by increasing ICU capacity in locations in Johor that are running out of ICU beds," her posting wrote.She asserts that ICU bed uptake in Johor has topped 90% of capacity thus far, with 257 beds currently occupied in ICUs state-wide.

Yeo served as the Minister of Energy, Science, Technology,  Environment & Climate Change from May 2018 to February 2020.

Yeo then pleaded for the government to take immediate action, and claims that her previous calls fell on deaf ears

On top of her calls to expand healthcare facilities in the southern state, Yeo also urges the government to "double or even triple up vaccination rate in Johor before it is too late".She elaborates that she had sounded the alarm to the Ministry of Health, the COVID-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF), as well as the Johor state government earlier in August, when the situation was not as dire, reported Malaysiakini."But so far there's no concerted effort seen. Hopefully the new Minister of Health, Khairy Jamaluddin, will pay more attention to (sic) Johor Covid (sic) situation."

Khairy had previously served as the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation; which overlapped with his responsibilities heading the CITF.

As of yesterday, 29 August, Johor is fourth from bottom when ranking states by their proportion of fully vaccinated adults

A total of 1,249,133 individuals have completed their vaccination regimes in Johor, amounting to 46.1% of the adult population.When considering the total population, Johor sits a mere one place higher, with 33.0% fully vaccinated.However, Yeo believes that the numbers should not be this low, as Johor is one of the most industrialised states outside of the Klang Valley.By contrast, the capital region has achieved 90.3% of adults fully vaccinated, accounting for 66.1% of the total population here.

Husband Wants To Divorce Wife Over Her Cockroach Phobia Which Caused Them To Move 17 Times

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

A couple from Bhopal, India have reportedly moved 17 times because all the houses had cockroaches and the wife couldn't take it

According to Malay Mail, the wife has an extreme fear for the six-legged insect. After moving over a dozen times due to the wife's request, the husband has had enough of her phobia and is seeking for a divorce.Indian online site OpIndia reported that the man — who is a software engineer — only came to know about his wife's fear after they got married in 2017.After they moved in together in 2018, the wife has been insistent on shifting to a new house whenever she spotted cockroaches at home.The wife screams for help every time she comes across a cockroach, and then demands they move homes after encountering the pest.

The wife claimed that her husband has used her phobia against her by taking her to psychiatrists for help and trying to declare her as mentally ill

The wife was upset by her husband's lack of compassion as he had taken her to several doctors, including the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for counselling in order to overcome her fear, reported China Press.She said that she had tried her best to get over her phobia, but refused to take any medication for the anxiety induced by cockroaches.

With that said, the husband still insists on a divorce and is seeking legal advice

It is reported that the man had even sought help from the BHAI Welfare Society, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that supports men trapped in fake dowry and domestic violence cases.The founder of the NGO — Zaki Ahmed — had reportedly counselled the couple, but nothing came to fruition in the end, reported OpIndia.The husband is looking to divorce his wife of four years as he said that he and his family members have had enough. They claimed to be ashamed and distressed by his wife's behaviour.

Tourism Malaysia's Video Just Won A Global Award And It Will Give You #Wanderlust Goals

A recent video by Tourism Malaysia has gained worldwide recognition in the International Telly Awards 2020

The awards, established in 1979, honours video and television content, and receives over 12,000 entries from countries across five continents.Tourism Malaysia's travel video, titled Discover Breathtaking Malaysia 2020, won the Silver Award for Non-Broadcast under the Travel/Tourism category 2020 in the 41st Annual Telly Awards.The video, published on YouTube last Thursday, 4 June, was picked up by the New York-based Telly Awards Judging Council, which comprises of over 200 executives from television networks, production companies, agencies, and video platforms worldwide, reported The Star.The Silver Award is the highest in the category, and is awarded to six contestants.

Tourism Malaysia director-general Datuk Musa Yusof hopes that the recognition will reinvigorate domestic travel as interstate travel restrictions are eased amidst the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO)

"This international recognition only serves to prove that Malaysia has what it takes to boost its tourism sector again, hopefully soon," said Musa Yusof.He added that the tourism board has the resources to attract urban and IT-savvy travellers around the world and the latest promotional video is the best way to do it."We are proud to showcase the beauty of Malaysia, and what better way to do that in this climate than by utilising our digital assets and giving our global audience a sneak peek through virtual experience," he said.The Star reported that the video was produced in preparation for the Visit Malaysia Year 2020 campaign, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Image via Malaysia Truly Asia/YouTube

The four-minute long video is packed with a series of montages, featuring two groups of travellers discovering the scenic, historical, and urban beauty of Malaysia

It follows the journey of two tourists as they experience local heritage and luxurious accommodations around the country, such as Gaya Island near Kota Kinabalu, Sarawak Cultural Village in Kuching, a wau bulan workshop in Kelantan, and more.The couple later meets a group of travellers, who then share street food together in Jalar Alor, Kuala Lumpur.The video perfectly encapsulates the beauty of Malaysia, which many of us dearly miss after staying at home for almost three months since the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) on 18 March.

Image via Malaysia Truly Asia/YouTube

Don't take our word for it.
Netizens have flooded the comments section on YouTube to celebrate the award, as well as expressing how much they miss Malaysia.

"This video has just made me want to travel around Malaysia. Together, we can help recover Malaysia's economy following the COVID-19 pandemic. Support local!" commented a user.

Image via YouTube

"Great video and congratulations! Makes me wanna #cuticutimalaysia," lauded a netizen.

Image via YouTube

"Truly breathtaking. Amazing production, videography, catchy song suitable for young travellers, and so many places we can visit. When the COVID-19 lockdown is lifted, do visit Malaysia as your next holiday destination," wrote another person.

The Gag On The Edge: Who Is Saying What, And How The Paper Is Fighting Back

THE GAG ORDER

On Friday, 24 July, the Home Ministry issued a  suspension order for the publishing permit of The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily for three months. The suspension will come in effect 27 July.

The Home Ministry, in a letter to The Edge Media Group, said the publishing permits for The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily, have been suspended for three months, effective July 27.The letter stated that the reporting on 1MDB by the two publications were "prejudicial or likely to be prejudicial to public order, security or likely to alarm public opinion or is likely to be prejudicial to public and national interest".The letter also said that the failure to stop publication for three months would result in the withdrawal of The Edge's publishing permits.

        malaysiakini.com

Image via The Malay Mail

The suspension on The Edge comes hot on the heels of the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission blocking access to whistleblower website Sarawak Report on 19 July

The move to block Sarawak Report came two weeks after the website first reported on how investigators probing the debt-laden 1MDB discovered that some US$700m allegedly made its way into Najib’s personal bank accounts.The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, the country’s internet regulator, confirmed late on Sunday it had blocked Sarawak Report for reporting on what it called “unverified content”.“Such content could create unrest and threatens national stability, public order and economic stability,” the commission said in a statement. It said the website would be blocked until an official investigation into 1MDB is completed. No time frame has been given for the investigation.Sarawak Report continues to be accessible from outside Malaysia, however.

        theguardian.com

The Edge will challenge the suspension of its two publications in court. In a statement issued by The Edge Media Group, CEO and Publisher Ho Kay Tat said he was disappointed with the suspension.

Image via Malaysian Insider

"We don't see how exposing the scam to cheat the people of Malaysia of billions of ringgit can be construed as being detrimental to public and national interest."This is nothing more than a move to shut us down in order to shut us up," he added. Ho said The Edge would go to court and try and get the suspension lifted.

        malaysiakini.com

WHO IS SAYING WHAT

Reacting to the suspension, the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) Malaysia, in a statement by its President Chin Sung Chew, said that the Home Ministry must state clearly how The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily are deemed to be a threat to national security

"NUJ Malaysia is appalled by the decision of the Home Ministry to suspend the publishing permits of The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily for three months. As 1MDB is a government-linked company (GLC), the rakyat has a right to know the ongoings within 1MDB.""Both The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily had also published rebuttals from both government spokepersons and 1MDB. As such, the publications have offered a platform for civil debate and discourse," said Chin.

        thestar.com.my

NUJ reiterated that the media has a public duty to inform, and should not be discouraged from playing an active role in highlighting issues of public and national interest, adding that the suspension could be perceived as a clampdown on media freedom

“Malaysia has always tried to put in place good governance and transparency, and this action only serves to reverse the good work done in the past. The country's image to the international community will also be affected by this action."“NUJ calls for this suspension to be lifted immediately. The media is only playing its role as the fourth estate, and any disagreements over the 1MDB reports should be debated in a civil manner,” it said.

        thestar.com.my

The suspension has also been condemned by CIMB Group chairman Nazir Abdul Razak, the brother of PM Najib Abdul Razak

Image via Wikisabah

Slamming the government's decision, he said instead of suspension, legal action could have been a better way to deal with the issue."I condemn the suspension and my thoughts go out to all the affected staff. Recent 1MDB coverage seems outstanding but if there were flaws, then correct them or take legal recourse," he said in an Instagram posting today.Nazir said The Edge was a pillar in the business community. He said the media played a big role in keeping businesses informed, honest, and competitive.

Joining Nazir in the condemnation, AirAsia chief executive Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said freedom of the press is the pillar of democracy

Image via The Kuala Lumpur Post

“There are other recourse if reporting is wrong. Sad day, I’m in shock,” Fernandes said.

        thestar.com.my

Former International Trade and Industry Minister Rafidah Aziz, too, came hard on the government, saying that banning media publications for reporting what certain quarters considers "unsavoury" will not solve anything. Rafidah also said those responsible need to start giving the public the facts and to "say things as they are" on 1MDB and other issues.

Image via Blog Berita Online

“We can ban some publications. It does not solve anything, really. If at all, it’s making many more people upset. Worse still, there is now another grouse against the Government - for nothing,” she wrote on her Facebook page this Saturday.She expressed frustration that knee-jerk reactions were once again the order of the day, and called for a more clear-minded and rational approach to public concerns. Rafidah said that while freedom of speech must have parameters defined by factors such as decency and respect for the religious beliefs of others, it is important that tme media is not unduly penalized for reporting what some deem to be unsavoury.The former Wanita Umno chief questioned if the Government would “shut down the Internet” next as people were free to say anything they wanted to in this era of social media. “Social media communication will still continue..and now there’s a new topic to discuss, and condemn,” she added, referring to the The Edge’s suspension.

        thestar.com.my

Malaysiakini, meanwhile, in an opinion piece has termed the suspension "unwarranted and unjustifiable." It added that "it's a case of punishing the messengers rather than the criminals" and called on the government to immediately lift the suspension of The Edge and the blocking of Sarawak Report. It said the government must allow the media to do its job to hold the power to account.

The media as the Fourth Estate serves as an indispensable pillar in a democratic nation. It has the sacrosanct task of monitoring those in the seat of power to ensure that the people and their rights are safeguarded. To use a draconian legislation to silence or punish the media is an act that is detrimental to parliamentary democracy.At the heart of the attack against The Edge and Sarawak Report is the matter of whether their reporting on the 1MDB scandal is true or false.If based on the evidence they have, public funds have indeed been siphoned away to serve private and political interests. If indeed these media companies had fabricated evidence in a bid to topple an elected government, they can be charged with publishing false news. The matter would then go to court, where surely 1MDB, banks and the parties involved can produce conclusive evidence of fabrication. The Edge has handed over all the documents it obtained from former PetroSaudi International executive Xavier Andre Justo to the authorities.  Till today, neither 1MDB nor the government is able to back up their claims of tampering, nor have the authorities charged The Edge with any other offence. For a leadership that has nothing to hide, silencing the media does nothing for its credibility. Instead, this suspension sends an indelible message to Malaysians that the government has indeed something big to hide.

        malaysiakini.com

The Centre for Independent Journalism Malaysia (CIJ) warned the government for its heavy-handed actions against its critics in order to silence them, saying that such actions will only backfire

Its directors Sonia Randhawa and Jac Kee said that The Edge had acted in public and national interests by exposing wrongdoings in state-owned 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)."Contrary to what the Home Ministry is alleging, it appears that The Edge has acted in public and national interests by bringing these allegations to light," they said in a statement today. For the government to muzzle The Edge under these circumstances only leads to more questions on the management of 1Malaysia Development Malaysia (1MDB)."To act heavy-handedly against critics with vague justifications will have the opposite effect." Echoing PKR who had earlier condemned the suspension, CIJ said that the government's move was a breach of freedom of expression and media freedom."To justify such a serious and extreme measure, it is wholly insufficient for the Home Ministry to merely make sweeping, general claims about prejudice to public order, security or alarm," it said. "It must specify exactly how The Edge's reporting on 1MDB would jeopardise public order or security."

        themalaysianinsider.com

The Foreign Correspondents Club of Malaysia also condemned the decision, noting that The Edge's reports had not been proven false

"To begin with, the very idea that the government can suspend or revoke printing licenses at a moment's notice needs to be done away with if the government is truly committed to press freedom. But to suspend a newspaper over reports that no one has been able to prove were false, is plainly contrary to the notion of natural justice.""By all means, investigate The Edge, its owners and staff. Police have already questioned chief executive Ho Kay Tat and are reportedly due to interview owner Tong Kooi Ong. Authorities should ask themselves if a suspension aids investigations at all, and explain to the public on what basis they have decided that The Edge has endangered national security."

        malaysiakini.com

In condemning the suspension, PKR's Youth Chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said the move was "highly disturbing" and was a "grave breach" of press freedom. He added that the government owes Malaysians an explanation as to how the paper's reportage of the 1MDB issue is detrimental to public order and security as it claimed.

"The government owes Malaysians an explanation just why exactly The Edge’s reporting on the issue is '… prejudicial or likely to be prejudicial to public order, security or likely to alarm public opinion or is likely to be prejudicial to public and national interest'."Nik Nazmi, who is also Seri Setia assemblyman, said that the government should have fully and comprehensively answered all allegations made against it regarding 1MDB instead of resorting to the draconian method of suspending the publications."As has been stated repeatedly, its inability to do so, rather than media reporting, is what has caused uncertainty and unhappiness on the part of the public," he said. "The government should immediately reverse the suspension and give the people the answers they deserve regarding the various issues that have dominated headlines as of late."

        themalaysianinsider.com

Meanwhile, explaining the reason behind why the permits of The Edge were suspended, the Deputy Home Minister Was Junaidi Tuanku said that the reports of The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily were found to contain "certain motives"

Image via GM

He said the government did not restrict any publications to disseminate information to the public. But he said the government would intervene if the reports were seen to exhibit "certain motives". “The ministry has the power to suspend temporarily. We have given them a chance to explain, but it was not satisfactory,” he was quoted as saying. Wan Junaidi was also reported as saying that officials from the ministry had gone through the reports published by The Edge before making the suspension order. He did not elaborate on the "certain motives".

        thestar.com.my

HOW THE EDGE IS FIGHTING BACK

Both The Edge's publications can be accessed via digital platforms

Chief executive officer and publisher, Ho Kay Tat, said readers can go to theedgemarkets.com, theedgeproperty.com, themalaysianinsider.com and edgy.com for news.Ho said other digital options to deliver the news would be explored. "To our advertisers, we hope you will continue to support us through our digital platforms now that the print will not be available for three months," he said.The Edge Media Group’s Malaysian operations have a staff count of around 350.

        thestar.com.my

While The Edge will challenge the suspension in court, its CEO and Publisher Ho Kay Tat said they offer no apologies and vowed to continue its coverage on the 1MDB-PetroSaudi expose

“We will not apologise because we haven't done anything wrong. We stand by what we have published. None of the published articles have been challenged. No one has come to say, ‘This article is wrong, that article is wrong’. No one,” Ho said when met by media after the staff meeting at the company headquarters in Petaling Jaya this evening.Ho insists The Edge will continue its operation across its online platform. A staunch critic of 1MDB, Ho also said its publication will continue to follow and report the development of the debt-laden sovereign fund.“Of course we will continue to report on 1MDB. As you all know, there will be plenty to report on 1MDB because a lot of things are happening,” he added.

        malaysiakini.com

Meanwhile, staffs of The Edge's two publications will continue to get their salaries during the three months suspension from 27 July

Image via Malaysiakini

Ho said the suspension of The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily by the Home Ministry would, however, affect certain staff.“We may not need a full team to work at certain desks. This could mean some people going on leave to clear outstanding leave. Further details will be released next week after a review with those involved."All staff will continue to receive their full pay during the suspension,” Ho said in a note addressed to the staff with The Edge Media Group chairman Datuk Tong Kooi Ong. “We are going through a challenging time and it is important that we stay strong and committed to our beliefs and values as a media company,” he said.

How A Blind Man And A Double Amputee Planted 10,000 Trees

Meet Jia Haixa, a blind man, and his friend Jia Wenqi, a double amputee. Both, aged 53, have planted 10,000 trees in Hebei, China.

Armless Chinese man Jia Wenqi, center, guides his blind friend Jia Haixia, right, with one sleeve of his coat along a path on their way to planting trees in Yeli village, Jingxing county, Shijiazhuang city.
Image via Mashable

"I am his hands. He is my eyes."Jia Haixa talks of his symbiotic relationship with his friend Jia Wenqi — a double amputee. The pair work together to plant trees in Yeli village, just outside of Shijiazhuang city, northern China.

        mashable.com

They form an unlikely duo - especially for something as physically demanding as planting trees. Jia Haixa and Jia Wenqi embarked on their heart-warming partnership 10 years ago after finding they were unable to secure jobs due to their respective impairments.

Planting trees helps them earn money

Image via Mashable

Despite their physical setbacks, Haixia and Wenqi have remained utterly determined to live life to the fullest. They also hope to benefit future generations with their environmental efforts.

Jia Wenqi watches as Jia Haixia chops branches from a tree.

They are allowed to live rent-free in the 7.5 acre stretch of land along the riverbank that they leased from the local government, which is a great gesture given their poor living conditions

Jia Wenqi uses his foot to water a sapling with a bucket. He and his friend planted the sapling themselves in Yeli village.
Image via Mashable

The work requires much patience and the fruits of their labours are not always apparent. But seeing young saplings grow inch by inch is enough to bring both the friends peace of mind

Jia Wenqi carries Jia Haixia on his back as they cross a river.

But their good deed is not going unnoticed

Jia Wenqi uses his shoulder to help his blind friend Jia Haixia climb a tree they planted, to hew branches in Yeli village.

A number of generous people have volunteered to help Haixia and Wenqi after hearing their story; one kind benefactor has offered to pay for a surgery that could help restore Haixia’s sight, and another has donated money towards their pensions to ensure they always have a good roof over their heads and enough food to eat.

        onegreenplanet.org

"We stand on our own feet," Wenqi tells Oddity Central.
"The fruits of our labour taste sweeter. Even though we are gnawing on steam buns, we find peace in our hearts."

[VIDEO] They Are Using Drones To Deliver Pizzas In India Now

Bombay, notorious for its traffic snarls, has achieved a first in India after Francesco’s Pizzeria delivered a pizza using an unmanned drone

The unmanned drone successfully delivered a pizza to a customer 1.5km away.

        indiatimes.com

A four-rotor drone took off with the order from its outlet in central Bombay's Lower Parel area and delivered it to a high-rise building in adjacent Worli area

Image via rediff.com

Francesco's Pizzeria chief executive Mikhel Rajani said:

"All of us had read about (global e-commerce giant) Amazon's plans of using drones. We successfully carried out a test-delivery by sending a pizza to a customer located 1.5 km away from our outlet on May 11."

        firstpost.com

He stressed that this was only a test-flight but its results confirm that it can be used routinely in a few years

Image via rediff.com

Considering that Indian regulations have their restrictions on the use of drone for commercial purpose for now and prohibits the use of a drone above an altitude of 400 feet, the pizza chain claims that they have not used it on commercial front, though are running trial tests and will use it for delivery purposes in some years.

        bgr.in

The eating joint has made this drone with the help of an auto engineer friend of the CEO

The eatery, which has been in operations for two years, has made a video of the delivery, he said, adding an auto engineer friend helped with making the flight possible.

        firstpost.com

If made commercial, the drone service will not only save time but will also cut down the costs for a company

Rajani, who comes from a family that is into textiles, said the drone saves time and costs for a company like his, which would otherwise depend on a two-wheeler borne agent to deliver the pizzas. "What we have done now will be common place in the next four-five years," he said, adding every such customised drone costs around $2,000.

WATCH: Drone delivering pizza

Meanwhile, the pizza outlet has come under scanner of local police, which is seeking an explanation on use of drone for pizza delivery without informing them

Image via livemint.com

The usage of unmanned drone for the first time in India by a city-based pizza shop for delivery has come under scanner of Mumbai police, which will seek an explanation from the outlet as to why it did not inform them before carrying out the experiment.

        livemint.com

Police will also ask Air Traffic Controller (ATC) whether Francesco’s Pizzeria outlet had a correspondence with them. When contacted, an ATC official said he did not know whether the outlet had sought permission from them. The official, however, categorically stated, “As per norms, permission must be taken for flying any such object.”

        financialexpress.com

“We are very sensitive towards anything that flies in the sky with the help of remote control. We will certainly ask the outlet’s administration as to why it did not inform us before carrying out this experiment. We also seek full details pertaining to the drone test,” Madhukar Pandey, additional police commissioner (Central Region) in whose jurisdiction the drone was flown, told PTI.

        livemint.com

“We will also ask the ATC if it was consulted by the outlet. After studying all the aspects, we will decide the future course of action,” Pandey said. According to sources, terror threat has been lingering over the city and inputs available with police suggest that terror organisations might strike using paragliding and unmanned drones.

PDRM telah menahan tiga individu berpangkat 'Datuk' yang dikatakan telah terlibat dalam penipuan Forex berjumlah RM1 bilion

Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial Bukit Aman (JSJK), Amar Singh berkata ketiga-tiga suspek, berusia antara 35 dan 49 tahun telah ditahan di Kuala Lumpur pada hari Sabtu.Katanya, "Setakat ini, kami telah menerima 116 laporan polis yang dibuat berhubung penipuan yang melibatkan RM6.2 juta."Bagaimanapun, kami menganggarkan terdapat 70,000 mangsa, menjadikan jumlah kerugian sebanyak RM1 bilion."Skim itu bermula dari akhir tahun 2013 sehingga Ogos 2016, mereka juga menggunakan laman web berdaftar di luar negara," katanya ketika ditemui pada sidang akhbar di ibu pejabat JSJ, Bukit Aman.

Ketiga-tiga suspek telah menipu mangsa untuk mengambil bahagian dalam skim pelaburan berasaskan forex dan telah menganjurkan seminar untuk menawarkan jaminan pulangan 12% bulanan

Princess Tunku Tun Aminah Sultan Ibrahim, who is Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar's only daughter, married Dennis Muhammad Abdullah on Monday, 14 August, in a day of lavish celebrations. The akad nikah (solemnisation of marriage) ceremony was held at the royal family’s residence, Istana Bukit Serene, in Johor Bahru, in the morning, while the istiadat bersanding (sitting-in-state) ceremony was held at the Istana Besar (Grand Palace) Johor Bahru later that night.

It was earlier reported that it was Tunku Aminah's aunt, Tengku Puan Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, who designed the dress.However, Tunku Azizah has since clarified on Twitter that she only designed the fabric and it was Tunku Aminah herself who designed her own dress. In the post, she also revealed that the fabric was actually woven by prison inmates from the Penor Prison in Pahang.

"A gift for my niece, Tunku Tun Aminah, woven by prisoners from Penor Prison."

According to Tunku Azizah, the baju kurung is made out of Tenun Pahang Diraja, a type of woven silk fabric. NST reported that there are more than 200 inmates at the Penor and Bentong Prison who are dedicated to weaving Tenun Pahang Diraja while other fabrics such as songket and batik were produced from other prison centres such as Marang Prison in Terengganu and the Pengkalan Chepa Prison in Kelantan, among others.  Tunku Azizah, who has made frequent visits to prisons, is known for her work in endorsing good quality Tenun Pahang Diraja. She has previously expressed her support for ex-convicts’ handiworks, saying that she appreciated their efforts in using their skills and creativity in the production of Tenun Pahang Diraja, especially when the demand for the product is increasing.

Mother's Day is almost here, and with it comes the challenging task of buying a gift for the special woman in your life

Image via BT

Should you get her a bouquet of flowers or treat her to a nice dinner? How about jewellery? Clothes?  So many options, too many.

If you haven’t picked out a gift for Mother’s Day yet, you’re definitely not alone. Maybe this new ad by Lazada Singapore can give you some ideas:

Image via Lazada Singapore

Lazada Singapore and ad agency UltraSuperNew recently launched a video ad for Mother's Day.The video, which was posted on 9 May, has gone viral. At the time of writing, the video has garnered over 200,000 views and 2,000 shares on Facebook.

In the video, a mother was invited to a set of what seemed to be a clichè Mother's Day ad

Image via Lazada Singapore

But those ads are a dime a dozen these days and this video certainly isn't one of them.

After she's done with introducing her son to the audience, the soft-spoken mother turned into her [email protected], rhyme-spitting, alter-ego - "Muminem"

Image via Lazada Singapore

She doesn't play around and goes straight to the point and speaks for all matriarchs out there who prefer the pure, unsentimental power of retail shopping.

With Singaporean influencers Youtiao666 playing her entourage, she demands her son to buy her "s***" in return for all the chores that she has done for him

Image via Lazada Singapore

Image via Lazada Singapore

Her "s***" includes a designer wallet, massage, and swimsuit.

When it's all said and done, she wants to remind her son that this is not "emotional blackmail" and she still loves him

Image via Lazada Singapore

The ad is a breath of fresh air as compared to the conventional ads we're used to seeing during Mother's Day

"Mums are special. We really wanted to get to the core of how young people could show their appreciation for their mothers, in an engaging way. Lazada’s brand values were a perfect match. Also, big data," said Shivram Gopinath and Sy Chia, creative directors, UltraSuperNew told TheDrum.

Watch "Muminem" spit out some fire bars in the video:

Zahid: No Need To Declare Emergency Over Heatwave Yet

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

While the ongoing heatwave in the country is causing issues, there's no need to declare an emergency over the hot spell just yet, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi

Zahid was asked to comment on calls made by the civil society group the Climate Emergency Coalition of Malaysia, which urged the government to treat the heatwave as a visible impact of the climate emergency.The coalition had also called on the government to come up with heatwave action plans and conduct vulnerability assessments in a bid to ensure the safety and well-being of the people.The calls came after multiple reported deaths, which included children, and predictions from climate experts stating that the temperatures at some locations in Malaysia are expected to reach 40°C in July.In response, the Deputy Prime Minister told the media in Putrajaya today, 16 May, that while the government sees no immediate need to declare an emergency, it is prepared to handle the situation should it get worse."We have put in place proactive and preventive measures to face the heatwave. For now, we don't think there is a need for an emergency to be declared. But if need be, we will issue Directive 20 of the National Security Council for an emergency to be called," The Star quoted Zahid as saying.

According to Zahid, the current weather conditions are expected to last until September and the government might reconsider its decision if the temperatures reach 40°C

"If there is going to be an emergency, we will announce it accordingly. For now, not yet," he added.In the meantime, he said, the responsible agencies are monitoring the situation 24 hours a day.

Zahid said that the government is carrying out cloud seeding for affected areas with the help of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) and the Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMalaysia)

"Cloud seeding is done immediately, together with RMAF and METMalaysia in several dam areas, and we will focus on seven areas where the water level is expected to decrease and affect water supply. The seven areas are Sungai Muda, Kedah River, Melaka River, Kelantan River, Klang River, Bernam River, and Similajau River in Sarawak," Malay Mail quoted him as saying.At the same time, 101 tube wells have been installed in peat soil areas for hard-to-reach areas, he added.
