[NEW UPDATE] Indelible Ink Is Here To Stay, No Biometric System

The EC says indelible ink was successful during the Kuala Besut by-election

Its chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, noted that while there were some flaws with the indelible ink during the 13th general election, the EC managed to overcome the problem during the Kuala Besut by-election recently.

        msn.com

"The public has to know that the indelible ink and the biometric system are two different things... it is not that easy to switch. We will continue using the indelible ink as the laws have not been amended."

        malaysia-today.net

"We hope there won't be any more issues cropping up about the indelible ink, there won't be people trying their hardest to wash away the ink like in GE13."

        themalaysianinsider.com

Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim had announced at the Dewan Rakyat on July 17 that the government was ready to consider replacing the indelible ink with the biometric system. "It (the biometric system) is the best solution, we will make sure that it is discussed."

        msn.com

The biometric system, Annuar pointed out, was more feasible as Malaysia already had a comprehensive registration system in place in the form of the identity card.

Ambiga says we need to get the the bottom of this

"I am horrified and shocked by this."

"I am horrified and shocked by this." This was the reaction of Bersih co-chair Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan when asked to comment on the latest furore in Parliament today after it was revealed that food colouring had been used instead of chemicals in the indelible ink.

        yahoo.com

Ambiga said the EC's story on the ink kept changing and called for an independent investigation into the election body.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"And did we pay RM7 million of taxpayers' money for food colouring? We need go get to the bottom of this. This revelation underscores Bersih's view that the EC leadership should resign," she added.

The Election Commission (EC) today admitted in the Dewan Rakyat that the indelible ink used in the recent General Election was not what it was made out to be.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim today said  an approved food colouring was used to replace the chemical used in the indelible ink purchased for the 13th general election.

        fz.com

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof has previously claimed the indelible ink has a low level of silver nitrate and herbal ingredients were used to substitute the amount of the silver nitrate, thus, making it easily removed.

        fz.com

The cost for the use of indelible ink during the May 5 polls was RM6.9million, covering the costs for designing special ink bottles, the brushes, the boxes as well as the cost for the unique ink mixture, seeing as how it was not available in the market.

33 laporan dibuat terhadap isu dakwat tidak kekal

Sebanyak 33 laporan polis dibuat oleh wakil dan Pengerusi Pusat Mengundi Daerah (PDM) Parlimen Muar hari ini bagi menggesa siasatan terhadap dalang yang berterusan mengeksploitasi isu penggunaan dakwat kekal untuk memburukkan sistem Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-13 (PRU-13) pada 5 Mei lalu.

        utusan.com.my

Mohd. Ismail ketika ditemui berkata, tindakan pihak yang mempertikaikan penggunaan dakwat kekal itu jelas mempunyai agenda bagi memastikan rakyat terutama pengundi tidak berpuas hati dan merasakan proses demokrasi itu berlangsung secara tidak telus atau jujur.

        utusan.com.my

The Election Commission (EC) said police reports on the indelible ink would not be enough to dispute the results of the 13th general election, as the ink was only an additional element to the electoral process.

        thestar.com.my

EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar also described the allegation as “grasping at straws”, adding that there had not been a single report to justify the claims.

        thestar.com.my

“The EC admits that there were cases in some areas that our workers had some problem with the ink. But as we said so many times, indelible ink was used as an added element to prevent multiple voting,” he said.

Opposition chief Anwar Ibrahim and PKR president Wan Azizah lodged police reports against the Election Commission for "so-called indelible ink" that could be washed off, claiming that this paved the way for mass "cheating" at the May 5 general election.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Anwar made the report at 12.30 pm at the Tropicana police station near here, close to the PKR headquarters, claiming that the ink stain on his finger was easily removed.

        abnxcess.com

"We voted at about 9.30am but by 5pm our fingers were clear and there were no more signs of the ink.
"The Election Commission (EC) had guaranteed that the ink will last for five days yet this is not the case," he said at a press conference on Monday.

        thestar.com.my

Thousands are swarming police stations nationwide to lodge reports on the alleged failure of the indelible ink used in the recent general election, answering Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) call for help with its campaign to prove cheating during Election 2013, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“We have thousands of reports so far. We have announced that only those who could satisfy the position, that they did vote and secondly, that the black ink disappeared either on the first or following day,” said Anwar.

SPR menubuhkah pasukan khas untuk siasat isu dakwat tak kekal
Image via blogspot.com

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) hari ini menubuhkan pasukan khas bagi mengenal pasti punca yang menyebabkan dakwat kekal yang digunakan pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU13) lepas tidak kekal lama selepas dicalit.

        beritatempatan.com

Pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd. Yusof berkata, berdasarkan pengalaman pertama itu, SPR yang mengadakan mesyuarat hari ini, memutuskan untuk menubuhkan 'Pasukan Khas Menyemak Masalah-Masalah Penggunaan Dakwat Kekal PRU Ke-13' untuk meneliti hal-hal berkaitan dakwat kekal itu.

        kosmo.com.my

Beliau berkata pasukan itu antara lain akan mengkaji aspek ramuan, syarat Kementerian Kesihatan, cara penggunaan dakwat kekal dan kaedah calitan dakwat kekal di jari.

        sinarharian.com.my

Pasukan itu juga akan meneliti hasil ujian yang telah dibuat sebelum dan selepas dakwat itu dihantar ke Malaysia.

Dakwat kekal akan diteruskan pada PRU14

SPR akan meneruskan penggunaan dakwat kekal pada pilihan raya umum ke-14 (PRU14) dengan melaksanakan beberapa penambahbaikan terutama dari segi kualiti dakwat.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"Kami akan kaji ramuan dakwat itu, serta meletakkan satu standard terhadap kualiti dakwat itu," Timbalan Pengerusi SPR, Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar, berkata.

        bharian.com.my

Wan Ahmad Wan Omar berkata penggunaan dakwat kekal itu akan tetap dilaksanakan kerana ia diputuskan oleh Jawatankuasa Khas Parlimen dan dimaktubkan dalam undang-undang pilihan raya.

        sinarharian.com.my

Wan Ahmad berkata penggunaan dakwat itu hanyalah untuk menghalang pengundi mengundi dua kali.

        bharian.com.my

Namun jika dakwat di jari mereka hilang, ia tidak bermakna mereka dapat mengundi sekali lagi kerana asas utama yang dilihat oleh SPR ialah nama pengundi dalam daftar pemilih.

President Obama is seen smiling with a 16-year-old refugee girl from Myanmar who was subjected to human trafficking and will now be moving to the United States.

Shook hands with them...

Asked them about their career aspirations that ranged from artist to engineer and told a young girl who said she loves math:
"You're going to be an excellent engineer. I can tell."

The Dignity for Children Foundation was set up more than 15 years ago by Rev Elisha Satvinder and his wife Petrina after they found many underprivileged families living in the Sentul area, TMI reports

The foundation aims to empower children from such families to break the cycle of poverty through quality education, positively transforming their lives and the lives of the community around them. Today, the Dignity for Children Foundation is a learning centre for over 1,000 vulnerable children aged two to 17, and provides quality education and care in a secure environment.Approached by reporters, Elisha said he was humbled by Obama's visit and shared that the president had praised him for the effort taken to educate and empower underprivileged children. "The president said he was proud of what we're doing here. He also asked about the challenges we face. It was a very positive, encouraging conversation," he said of Obama's visit of over an hour.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Asked what moved him to set up the foundation, Elisha told TMI it was like a God's calling for him to care for disadvantaged children

Besides educating refugee and urban poor children, Elisha said, a stylish urban cafe called Project B, a collaboration with other partners, had been set up to help underprivileged children over 12 years of age. He said the cafe, fully run by older students of the foundation, was meant to equip them with work experience and skills to enable them to eventually break the cycle of poverty.

Writing on Facebook last Thursday, 1 October, Jacky Su Kai Lun said his father has been missing for over a month now.He was last seen on 31 August when he went out to meet a friend at 8.30pm.The father, named Su Kim Chang, went out riding on a blue motorcycle bearing the number plate JKJ5720 and was wearing a black and grey striped T-shirt that night.Throughout this period, Jacky has been tirelessly going to palm oil farms, riverbanks, forests, mining lakes, and abandoned buildings, hoping that he would find his father.The month-long process is starting to wear his spirits, but he insists to press on because, according to him, "If I stop (searching), who else would help me find my father?"At the time of writing, Jacky's post has gone viral with over 18,000 shares.

It is learned that Su is a retired police officer and the Criminal Investigation Department (JSJ) has since launched an investigation into the matter

Kluang district police chief DSP Abdul Razak Abdullah Sani said efforts to search for Su around the town, including the person Su set out to meet, have been futile and the police are still at a loss in figuring out the cause of his disappearance, reported Harian Metro.According to Abdul Razak, Su went out to meet his business partner in Taman Kahang Baru that night.

Jacky said it has been a difficult month for the family and that he wakes up every morning hoping that everything was just a dream

"But after I get up, I still have to face the reality. I need to find my father for my family and bring him home safe," he said."Every time I go to the riverbanks, I hope to find you, but I am afraid that it is your body that I find. So I keep telling myself that it's not necessarily a bad thing if I fail to find my father in the mud of the riverside.""As long as I don't see the corpse, my father might still be alive. Although I know the odds are very slim, I just hope a miracle will happen!"Jacky said he needs his father back because there are young children in the family and he needs his father's help to take care of them.

Wan Azizah Questions Why This Govt Servant Gets An Allowance Of RM20,000 A Month

Special Affairs Department (JASA) director-general Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi receives an allowance of more than RM20,000 monthly.
That is more than the monthly salary of Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak.

Opposition leader Dr Wan Azizah brought up this matter in Dewan Rakyat yesterday, 27 November. "While checking the 2018 List of Positions, I found that the director of JASA is paid according to Salary Code VU7, which has a scale of maximum RM20,592 a month, which is more than the salary of the multimedia and communications minister - RM14,907.20 a month," she explained, as reported by The Malaysian Insight yesterday. She questioned why a JASA chief gets paid more than a minister and long-serving civil servants and opined that their salaries and allowances should come from UMNO or BN funds, instead of the money of taxpayers.

"I ask, what is the rationale for salaries amounting to RM12.8 million for 272 JASA staff, whose sole duty is to be the campaign launchers for UMNO-BN?"

Opposition leader Dr Wan Azizah

Meanwhile, Malaysiakini reported Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Jailani Johari as saying JASA director-general's salary is fixed by the Ministry of Finance, even before the Public Service Commission (PSA) appoints someone to fill the position. JASA is one of the Federal Departments under the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia. According to Jailani, JASA's duties include arranging plans, executing strategic programmes and activities, educating and persuading people on the governments's policies and current issues based on facts. "This is in line with the aim of JASA's establishment, which is to preserve and protect political stability by providing the public with a good and accurate awareness of current affairs," said Jailani.

Commonly dubbed as BN's propaganda arm by the opposition, JASA was allocated RM30 million in Budget 2018, compared to the RM22.9 million allocation in 2017

Jailani, who is also the Hulu Terengganu MP, explained that the 31.1% increase was to pay the salaries of 177 people in the department who were promoted to permanent staff recently.

Responding to the issue, BN strategic communications director Eric See-To said that JASA's staff can be reduced if Pakatan Harapan leaders stopped spreading lies

"If Harapan leaders and their propaganda team can lessen or eliminate fake news and their lies, I am confident that the number of JASA staff can be reduced. "Fake news and lies are dangerous as it undermines the confidence of our people and the economy. Hence, it must be countered quickly and intelligently. This is a big part of JASA's job," said See-To in a Facebook post on his page yesterday.

Speaking to SAYS, Mok said it took him two weeks to prepare and research for the trip before they left

Mok, who works as a wedding photographer, said instead of exploring a foreign land, he thought it was a good idea to venture and appreciate the beauty of his own country."And since we have never tried such a long road trip before, we were excited to plan it out!" he said.

Driving for long hours on the road did not come without its difficulties, as Mok said he learned how to adapt quickly when his car engine overheated on the first day of the trip

"After consulting a foreman via phone call though, we were able to fix it and continue our trip peacefully," he said gratefully."From the car water coolant boiling and Waze not showing routes due to no data coverage to being the only person to hike up a mountain that I had never visited before in the early hours of the morning, all these ups and downs rounded up the trip perfectly."Mok also told SAYS that his favourite part of the trip was simply enjoying the beautiful ocean views while driving along the east coast.As of writing, his Facebook post has been shared over 25,000 times, garnering over 16,000 comments and inspiring many others to explore our beautiful country.

RM500 Is All Someone Needs To Buy Fake SPM Or STPM Certificates

Forged Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) certificates can be bought online via WhatsApp for just RM500

Image via Oriental Daily Malaysia

The forger, who goes by the name of "Huang", told an undercover reporter from Oriental News Daily that he only needed the name of the student and the school to complete the process.Huang added that there is no need to meet face-to-face as the whole process can be done via WhatsApp. It is also a precaution for Huang as he does not want to leave behind clues or footprints to be traced back to him later on.

The forger's target audience are school leavers who have failed their SPM or STPM exams and are desperate for a good paper qualification

It is reported that many of his "customers" use this service to get into colleges and universities as well as to apply for jobs when their original results don't meet the qualifications or requirements.

Huang actually guarantees that the records in the Education Ministry's database will change according to the forged certificate

Image via AOne

Huang assured that there will be no discrepancies between the forged certificate and the record in the Ministry's database as he has inside people helping him. 'We have been doing this for many years,' Huang told the reporter.

To avoid suspicion, only a mediocre credit will be shown on the fake certificate

Huang also added that the results on the fake certificates typically do not have excellent results but customers are able to customise it. This is to avoid further suspicion.The reporter asked if he could buy additional 'As', Huang answered that it was difficult.

Image via Cilisos

Apparently, fake certificates are nothing new

In a report by Cilisos back in 2016, one can obtain an honours degree from University Kebangsaan Malaysia for only RM1700 from an e-commerce website and a SPM certificate for RM600 via WhatsApp.

Image via Cilisos

However, those who are caught with fake certificates can be sentenced to seven years behind bars and a fine

Under Section 468 of the Penal Code, whoever commits forgery, intending that the forged document shall be used for the purpose of cheating, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to a fine.

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

Big Little Things has remained the steadfast recycling programme under L'OCCITANE since 2019, and their efforts are only expanding over time

Did you know that each household uses an average of 55kg of plastic per year? What about the fact that, without weaponising uncouth processes, 80% of Malaysian waste is actually recyclable?Mobilising everyday people to keep nature free from pollution, L'OCCITANE's partnership with local waste separation and recycling provider, i-CYCLE Malaysia, now allows you to recycle empty beauty bottles all across Malaysia!

Image via Nikkei Asia

And the best part? You'll get free L'OCCITANE gifts in exchange for your recycled products!

Here are all the steps needed to recycle your empty beauty bottles at L'OCCITANE:

1. Register a profile at the nearest participating L'OCCITANE outlet

While not all L'OCCITANE outlets are partaking in this marvellous effort, the vast majority of them sure are. Here is a list of all the stores involved in the programme (segregated to areas in the Klang Valley and beyond):

2. Bring clean and dried empty full-sized beauty bottles to be inspected by the L'OCCITANE beauty advisors

While this process seems fairly clear and straightforward, a few house rules must be observed by those looking to participate in this programme.Firstly, all the beauty bottles must be clean and dried. This is done to avoid contaminating other clean empty bottles. There are no cleaning facilities provided at the store, so you'll need to clean it yourselves at home before bringing it to the locale. To ensure proper washing, all empty tubes can be cut open.Secondly, the establishment has designated a quota for the number of bottles each customer is allowed to bring in per day per account, at 30 units. If you have more than 30 beauty bottles, save the remainder for your next trip to L'OCCITANE.

Furthermore, it is absolutely stressed that L'OCCITANE does NOT accept mineral bottles or makeup packaging.Here are some of the applicable products under the programme:1.

3. If approved, you will receive one stamp for every full-sized bottle on a digital card, which can be accumulated to collect the free gifts

The stamp accumulation process works in a collection of 10, with customers being able to choose between receiving a travel-sized L'OCCITANE product, or a membership point for existing store members.Importantly, customers need be informed that the gathering of points work in a 'stockpile process'. This means that the number of stamps you receive will be based on your last contribution, and does not begin anew from your latest provision. For example, if on your first visit you bring 10 bottles and accumulate 10 points, your subsequent total on your second visit will begin at 10 points and move upwards, not at zero.As for the gifts, customers who collect 10 points will be eligible to receive a 10ml tube of Shea Hand Cream, while those who reach up to 100 points will receive a 5ml Immortelle Reset Serum.

To keep track of your progress, the profile created earlier under your Big Little Things registration will be used as a medium to check and track your rewards on a digital recycling card. Log in daily and see how you're changing the environment with all the bottles you donate.The programme even allows you to redeem the rewards at other participating outlets under Big Little Things if the gift you are entitled to is out of stock at the location you visited.As a method to adjust all the rewards attained by customers, all entitled rewards must be redeemed before 31 March of each year, after which the accumulated digital stamp count will return to zero, thereby encouraging all customers to continue the (literal) cycle to recycle every year.

Committed to saving the environment one bottle at a time, L'OCCITANE also encourages customers to visit their refill fountain, or buy their eco-refill products

Alternatively, the refill fountain gives customers the chance to enjoy selected L'OCCITANE products without needing to purchase new plastic bottles. By using their refill fountain, customers will also receive a stamp on the digital card for every refill.All you have to do is bring your own clean and dried L'OCCITANE bottle (subject to inspection by the beauty advisors once again) or purchase an aluminium forever bottle at the store. Once inspected (or purchased), the beauty advisors will assist in the refill process. The fountain currently has a selection between five shower products.Here are some of the L'OCCITANE stores that have their own refill fountain:1. Lot 3.76.00 Pavilion Bukit Jalil. 2. Lot 345, Ground Floor, One Utama Shopping Mall (New Wing).3. Lot F241B, First Floor, The Gardens.4. Lot 170-G-17/18, Ground Floor, Gurney Plaza.Note: Customers can only use a L'OCCITANE bottle of the same product, or a L'OCCITANE forever bottle. Bottles from other brands will not be accepted.

And if you wanna take a bigger leap in reducing your carbon footprint, visit their store and purchase an Eco-Refill product, so you can refill it upon completion without needing to buy a brand new bottle.

8 Months After Their Son's Death, A Family Hears His Heart Beating In Another Man

This is Matt Heisler. He no longer lives. Early in 2014, Matt, who was of 21 years old and a college student, died in a house fire.

RIP Matt.
Image via wordpress.com

But dead Matt's heart still beats on. Inside of Tom Meeks, who had been diagnosed with a rare disease called amyloidosis in 2011.

Image via goodnewsnetwork.org

All thanks to one small decision Matt had taken when he was 16, which ultimately turned out to be his life's most important decision: Matt had indicated on his driver's license that he would be willing to donate his organs.But before Tom Meeks was put on a waiting list for a transplant, he was rejected 5 times by different hospitals, reported KARE-TV. Doctors had said Tom wouldn't survive without a transplant.As he waited and held out hope, his liver was malfunctioning. Tom said doctors didn't make any promises but told him they would run the test to see if he was eligible to be placed on a waiting list. Turned out, he met five of the six requirements. And in November 2014, doctors carried out the successful transplant, giving Tom a new life.

Now imagine how it would have been for Matt's family to hear his heart beating inside Tom's chest? Yes, that's what happened.

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Eight months after his transplant, Tom, a Vietnam veteran, traveled from his home in Washington state to Minnesota and let Matt's parents and sister listen to Matt's heart now beating in his chest

Matt Heisler's sister Casey gets to hear her dead brother's heart beat in the chest of Vietnam vet Tom Meeks

After hearing her dead brother's heart beating in the chest of Tom, an emotional Casey said:

“It's hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that the heart I grew up with and felt in all of my hugs when I hugged him — that it is still out there somewhere,” his sister, Casey Heisler, told NBC affiliate KARE of Minneapolis.

Matt's parent, after listening to their dead son's heart beating inside of Tom, hugged and thanked Tom, with Matt's dad, Jared, saying: "that's awesome"

Image via ytimg.com

Matt didn't just donate his heart. His generosity helped 60 people.

Matt’s organs helped as many as 60 people. A 46-year-old woman received one of Matt's kidneys. The other went to a 56-year-old woman. The life of a 61-year-old man was saved by Matt's gift of a liver.

Watch Matt's family listening to his heart beat using a stethoscope inside Tom's chest. The sound left the family in tears.

DG Hisham: We Do Not Want To Extend The MCO After 4 February

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that the government has no intention to extend the current Movement Control Order (MCO) beyond 4 February

During the press conference announcing COVID-19 updates in the country yesterday, 25 January, he said, "We have implemented the MCO on 13 January and we decided to extend the MCO until 4 February.""We do not want to extend the MCO because this will affect our economy. So, we must balance our economy and health."

Image via Astro Awani

He also noted that the government plans to implement the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) after this MCO period

Dr Noor Hisham said that the government will enforce CMCO for three months from February until May in their effort to continue curbing the number of new daily infections."We expect the number of daily new infections to drop to double-digit cases in May," he added.

In contrast to the current MCO, the CMCO should see fewer restrictions as more sectors of the economy will be allowed to operate while the 10km travel limit will not apply.

These Men Are Blind But That Didn't Stop Them From Climbing Gunung Kinabalu

On Malaysia Day, nine Sarawakians attempted to climb Malaysia's tallest mountain, Gunung Kinabalu. The amazing thing about it? They are visually impaired.

Isak, a Kayan descent from Baram, will be leading eight visually impaired people all from Sarawak on an expedition to scale the mountain to show their love for the country. Three guides will help them in their over 4,000m climb.

        asiaone.com

Among the group, five of them beat all odds to successfully reach the top of the mountain

Image via asiaone.com

Five visually impaired Sarawakians have beaten the odds to reach the summit of Mount Kinabalu after a trek made more arduous by bad weather.

        thestar.com.my

The other four members did not make it to the summit as they were injured due to slippery conditions. The bad weather made the trails slippery and dangerous.

Group leader Isak Ngau said the trails were slippery due to the rain and it made the going really tough. "Four other members were injured after they slipped and could not make the final stretch up the 4,095m Lows Peak," he said yesterday.

        asiaone.com

Although the whole contingent did not make it to the top, 37-year-old Isak Ngau who led the group were thankful and happy that some of them achieved their dream of reaching the summit given the challenges

Image via wordpress.com

It was a bittersweet victory but Isak, 37, said the group was elated and thankful that some of them made it to the summit despite the challenges. The group started the trek from Timpohon Gate at the base of the mountain on Tuesday.

        asiaone.com

Isak had previously climbed the mountain as a 21-year-old and still remembers the moment vividly. He had always yearned to return to the mountain with his fellow blind community members after conquering the peak 16 years ago.

Sixteen years ago, Isak Ngau made the trek up Mount Kinabalu and he could still remember the feel of the fresh air on his face, the scent of flowers and the chirping of birds and insects. "We were tired but excited at the top. We hugged each other and I cried," said the 37-year-old instructor at a training centre for the blind here. Since conquering Mount Kinabalu, Isak has always yearned to return to the mountain with his fellow blind community members. "I want to share my wonderful experience with them," he said.

        asiaone.com

The climb on Malaysia Day was to "prove to society that the disabled are like any other people and we are able to achieve our targets." And they did just that.

Image via asiaone.com

An instructor at a training centre for the visually impaired in Kuala Lumpur, he said the climb on Malaysia Day was to show that the disabled could achieve their goals.

        thestar.com.my

"We want to prove to society that the disabled are like any other people and we are able to achieve our targets," he said, adding that the climb was a project of the Miri and Bintulu Society of the Blind.

        asiaone.com

Mount Kinabalu stands at 4,095 metres. Although it is considered to be a relatively safe mountain to climb, there have been cases of deaths and injuries.

This Restaurant In KL Serves Up An Epic Sampan That's LOADED With Sushi And Fresh Seafood

If you love seafood and sushi, this is gonna blow your mind. Behold, a massive sampan that's LOADED with assorted sushi, sashimi, and fresh seafood!

Image via Gourmet Hunter KL Facebook

A unique creation by Yamaguchi Fish Market, the gigantic offering was recently featured on popular Facebook page Gourmet Hunter KL. Needless to say, the post went viral.

Image via Gourmet Hunter KL Facebook

In a video featured in Gourmet Hunter KL's post, the giant sushi sampan was so huge it had to be carried to the table by three people!

Aside from rows and rows of assorted sushi and fresh sashimi, the giant boat also contains bowls of cold soba as well as a variety of seafood including clams, prawns, oysters, scallops, and Alaskan snow crab

So, how much is one of these gonna cost you? They come 1-metre, 1.5-metre, and 2-metre boats, priced at RM538++, RM888++, and RM1,688++ respectively

However, if you can manage to wrangle a bunch of your friends and family to come with, the cost per person is not too bad. For example, if you come in the recommended group of 20 for the 2-metre boat, it only adds up to about RM84.40 per person. :D

The epic-sized boats are currently available at the Yamaguchi Fish Market, a restaurant-cum-fish market inspired by Japan's Karato and Tsukiji fish markets

Having first opened its doors in November 2015, Yamaguchi Fish Market also lets customers select their seafood to be cooked on the spot, or purchase seafood at wholesale prices.

Accountant Loses RM510,000 In Elaborate Credit Card Scam By Fake Bank Negara Officials

An accountant found himself at the receiving end of a syndicate who cheated him out of RM500,000 in a span of two days

Lim (in face mask) with two MCA officials.
Image via theSun

NST reported that the 53-year-old victim from Penang, known only as Lim, received a message on his phone from an unknown number on 4 October.It claimed that he had purchased a diamond worth RM4,299 via credit card.Lim didn't own any credit cards, so he decided to call the number provided in the message for more details.

A woman picked up and said his identity may have been compromised. She then gave him a number, claiming it to be a direct line to "Bank Negara".

Image via BNM

"A woman who answered my call told me that the card was registered under my name in Johor Bahru on 25 August, and that there was an arrears of RM7,900.45," he said.

Lim then called "Bank Negara" where a man claiming to be an officer confirmed that his details were at risk and it was best to surrender his account details for security reasons

He was given a "report number" that an "officer" would be contacting him later in the day. "When the officer called me about 2pm the same day, he asked me to transfer all my money from my accounts into 'Bank Negara-controlled' accounts," Lim added.Two account numbers were given and Lim transferred RM200,000 into them.

He received another call from the same "officer" the following day and was requested to transfer the remaining RM310,000

He was promised a passbook as a record of his transactions by the "officer". No such call came, it then dawned on Lim that he had been cheated.After consulting with the state's MCA Public Services and Complain Bureau, Lim lodged a police report.

Lim, who has served as an accountant for the past 27 years, did not expect himself to fall for a scam of this sort

Penang MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau chief Gui Guat Lye also urged the public to ignore calls purportedly from Bank Negara or banks, especially when it involves revealing personal details."We hope Lim’s case will serve as an eye-opener to others so that they will not fall victims to such a scam in future," he added.

Bernama Copied Our Article Word For Word Again Says Jakarta Globe

Editor-In-Chief Tweets News Of Bernama Journalist's Suspension While Investigations Go On

One day after Jakarta Globe accuses Bernama of plagiarising their content, Bernama Editor-in-Chief announces the suspension of the journalist responsible for publishing the articles
Image via Bernama Twitter

On 6 June 2014, Jakarta Globe Published An Article Accusing Malaysia's National News Agency, Bernama, Of Plagiarising Two Of Their News Articles Word For Word

Image via thejakartaglobe.com

Malaysia’s national news agency, Bernama, was found to have plagiarized, word for word, two articles that were published by the Jakarta Globe.

        thejakartaglobe.com

Jakarta Globe (JG) Said Their Article On Indonesia's Presidential Debate Dated 5 June 2014 Was Copied Verbatim By Bernama The Day After

The article released by Jakarta Globe on 5 July 2014 and Bernama's copy of the same article, the day after

Stealing A Look At Bernama's Report, They Are Identical Apart From A Few Obvious Edits - The Journalist Was Named 'Elmi Rizal Alias' And The Article Was Credited Back To Bernama

Image via imgur.com

Image via imgur.com

The Malaysian news agency had copied the Globe’s piece verbatim, attributing one of the many quotes in the article to this newspaper. Bernama also removed the names of Globe reporters Josua Gantan and Andrea Wijaya, the original authors of the story, replacing the byline with what is assumed to be the name of a Bernama journalist, Elmi Rizal Alias.

        thejakartaglobe.com

After Several Attempts Made By JG To Contact Bernama On 6 July, Bernama Responded The Next Day Saying There Is Basis For Allegations But The Journalist Quoted Jakarta Globe In The Article

Image via imgur.com

“From what I gather, there is some basis in the allegations,” Bernama editor-in-chief Zulkefli Salleh told Malaysiakini. Zulkefli however maintained that the reporter accused of plagiarism had attributed the articles to Jakarta Globe. “The reporter did attribute the articles to Jakarta Globe, in the third and fifth paragraphs,” he said.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"Perhaps The Reporter Ran Out Of News," Says International Law Expert From University Of Indonesia

Two Indonesian experts on press law poured scourn on Bernama over the revelation, saying action must be taken against the agency as well as the reporter. “They even changed the [Globe] reporters’ names,” Hikmahanto Juwana, an international law expert from the University of Indonesia, told the Jakarta Globe. “Perhaps (Bernama’s) reporter ran out of news, that’s why he took news (from the Globe),” he quipped.

        themalaysianinsider.com

JG Also Revealed That Popular Singaporean News Site, Channel News Asia, Re-Published The Same Article With A Different Headline But The Article Has Been Removed From Their Website

Image via imgur.com

On the same day, Singapore-based Channel News Asia republished the plagiarized article on its website. The piece, however, had been renamed, “Indonesia Election: Jokowi, Prabowo Face Off in Final TV Debate.”

        thejakartaglobe.com

It Seems This Wasn't The First Time 'Elmi Rizal Alias' Of Bernama Ripped Off Their Article

Image via mkini.net

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Monday’s discovery was not the first time Bernama drew “inspiration” from the Globe. On July 1, following the fourth debate, the Globe uploaded an article on its website titled “Hatta Says Indonesia Should Take Advantage of Its ‘Demographic Bonus.’” The same story was found on Bernama’s website with the slightly altered title “Indonesia Should Take Advantage  of Its ‘Demographic Bonus’ — Hatta.”
Similarly, the Malaysian news agency  only attributed one of the article’s many quotes to the Globe, and replaced the original reporter’s name — Basten Gokkon — with that of the elusive Elmi Rizal Alias.

        thejakartaglobe.com

“If It Is True That [The Bernama Reporter] Has Plagiarised [The Globe’s Articles], According To Indonesian Laws, The Malaysian Journalist Can Be [Charged And] Imprisoned."

Wina Armada, a member of the Indonesian Press Council and an expert in press law from the University of Indonesia, told the Globe that the incident amounted to “a serious violation of [Indonesia’s] copyright laws.” “For a case like this, the law is such that even if the disadvantaged party does not file a police report about the incident, the police can still take action against the perpetrator,” Wina said.

        thejakartaglobe.com

"It's Particularly Regrettable As Bernama Is The Official News Agency For The Malaysian Government, Operating Under The Ministry Of Communication And Multimedia."

Wina (Armada) added that the incident was particularly regrettable as Bernama was the official news agency for the Malaysian government, under its Ministry of Communication and Multimedia.

        thejakartaglobe.com

In response to the incident, Ruhut Sitompul, a legislator and a member of the legal affairs commission at the Indonesian House of Representatives, said Bernama ought to be “sued for the matter.” “Legal action should be taken against its representative in Indonesia,” Ruhut told the Globe.
