"Mommy" — S'poreans Are Thirsting After This Officer Who Appeared In ICA Recruitment Video

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

Recently, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore posted a recruitment video on its verified TikTok account

In the description of the now-viral video, which features an officer surnamed Lee, the ICA called for individuals with a "passion to serve the country and safeguard our communities" to apply to the agency.While the recruitment video has resulted in Singaporeans clamouring for job openings with the ICA, it is not for the reasons the agency hoped. They are thirsting after the officer, who was described as very pretty.In the video, the officer is shown as being stopped as she's about to enter her office by a man behind the camera asking her a few questions about her job in the government agency."I'm with the manpower division recruitment team," Lee responds to a question about what she does at the agency, before admitting that she joined the agency for "the job stability".She then opens the door to her office, inviting the man behind the camera to take a tour.She's then asked if she loves what she does at the ICA, to which she replies, "Yes, of course" with a smile.

In the video, the female officer also revealed a preference for cats

According to her, she has six cats, photos of whom she prominently displays in a collage at her desk.

In the comments section of the video, many focused on Lee's looks

One of the commentators even asked if the officer was free on Valentine's Day, while another thirsty Singaporean, unable to contain himself, commented, "Discipline me, mommy."One commentator, not wanting to let go of the opportunity to crack a witty pun, remarked, "Thanks for keeping the borders of my heart (safe), I won't let any illegal immigrant enter it without your chop."Lee's beauty even made some of the men confess to being "illegal immigrants"."I'm an illegal immigrant. Please, come catch me," commented one while using multiple emojis with heart eyes. His comment was followed up by another, saying, "She's an illegal immigrant... in my heart."Several others also offered to be Lee's "seventh cat".

Student In Kedah Violently Assaulted By Teacher For Not Tucking In His Shirt

A 16-year-old student in Kedah was allegedly beaten up by his discipline teacher for not tucking in his shirt and being "untidy"

Nahar Danial Aiman Naharudin, explaining the incident during an interview with Astro AWANI.

New Straits Times (NST) reported yesterday, 9 February that the incident happened at about 7.40am on Wednesday, 8 February, right as the boy was about to enter his school compound in the morning. Form Four student, Nahar Danial Aiman Naharudin, claimed that his school's disciplinary teacher punched him on the back of his head and face, kicked his leg and grabbed his neck outside the school gate for not tucking in his shirt.  The incident has been confirmed by Kota Setar district police chief ACP Mohd Rozi Jidin who said that the authorities are currently conducting investigations on the incident.

"The teacher also uttered threats against me. I did not retaliate when struck, fearing I would be expelled," said Danial, as reported by Bernama

Danial had then called his father as his shoulder which broke in October last year, was hurting after the incident. "The teacher’s assault also left me with an aching head and my parents fetched me home," added Danial, as reported by Bernama on 8 February.

Following the assault, Danial's father, 38-year-old Naharudin Aizan, had lodged a police report on incident, explaining that the discipline teacher's actions are "excessive"

Meanwhile, NST also reported that Danial has since gone through a medical examination on Wednesday afternoon at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star. "The doctor who examined him confirmed that there is swelling on the back of his head due to the incident," said Danial's 37-year-old mother, when speaking to NST, adding that the medical report has been submitted to the Kota Star district police office to aid the investigations.

It was also reported that a spokesperson from the Kedah state education department said that the Kota Star District Education Office will look into setting up a meeting between Danial's parents and the school to discuss the incident

Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid

The spokesperson mentioned that the education department will be conducting an internal investigation on the matter. However, when asked to comment on the matter, Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid has refused to comment on the incident saying that he'll leave the matter to the Kota Setar District Education Office to run investigations on it.

Heartbleed Bug Hits The Internet: What Is It? How Does It Affect Me? What Should I Do?

These Are The Sites Where You Should Change Your Password Right Away

Image via LastPass

ALSO, if you use Chrome as your browser, download this extension : It will let you know if the site you are browsing is affected by Heartbleed. It's an adaptation of Valsorda's site.

        policymic.com

Multiple popular websites were exposed to a major Internet bug called Heartbleed earlier this week. As much as 66% of the web may have been compromised by Heartbleed.

Image via mshcdn.com

Some websites running SSL encryption, such as Airbnb, Pinterest, USMagazine.com, NASA, and Creative Commons, among others, were exposed to a major security bug called Heartbleed on Monday. The bug was reportedly discovered by a member of Google's security team and a software security firm called Codenomicon.

        mashable.com

The bug affects web servers running Apache and Nginx software, and it has the potential to expose private information users enter into websites, applications, web email and even instant messages. And while most security experts advise that you always use websites and services offering SSL security encryption whenever possible, the Heartbleed bug has the ability to allow malicious operators to defeat this security layer and capture passwords as well as forge authentication cookies and obtain other private information.

        sci-tech-today.com

What is Heartbleed?

Image via wordpress.com

Basically when you make a transaction online today, whether it’s a bank or credit card company, part of what ensures security is a protocol called SSL. It’s just a way to encrypt the data so that nobody can read it when it’s being transmitted from you to the bank or another company. What Heartbleed is is a way that an attacker can steal bits of information about that transaction — things you thought were being safeguarded. The attacker can start reading data about a transaction and learn things like your passwords and credit card numbers that you thought were kept confidential.

        nytimes.com

Heartbleed is a serious security threat that has the potential to expose users' private information, including passwords, financial details and instant messages, among other things

The Heartbleed bug compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content... As long as the vulnerable version of OpenSSL is in use it can be abused
Image via mshcdn.com

How did this happen?

Image via bwbx.io

What happened was, two years ago there was a programming flaw put into this thing called OpenSSL, an open-source implementation of the SSL protocol. A lot of websites use OpenSSL to achieve security. What happened in these cases is that these programs are very complicated, and when things are very complex, some flaws can be missed. It may have been there all along, but it was just hidden in plain sight from the perspective of everybody else.

        troyhunt.com

But how could the flaw not get noticed for two years?

The Heartbeat protocol is a sub-part of SSL. Heartbeat is meant to ensure communications are kept alive. So when two people are communicating and there hasn’t been any communication for a while, it keeps the communication line alive for a bit — it keeps a session alive so it doesn’t get taken down. What would typically happen in SSL is the communication would get terminated immediately. Heartbeat is not the main part of SSL. It’s just one additional feature within SSL. And as an additional feature, it may not get as much scrutiny as the main part itself. So it’s conceivable that nobody looked at that code as carefully because it was not part of the main line.

        nytimes.com

You're likely affected either directly or indirectly by the bug, which is not the actual bad news. The actual bad news is that:

Image via digitaltrends.com

There's not a lot you can do about it now. It's the responsibility of Internet companies to update their servers to deal with Heartbleed, and once they do, you can take certain action.

        mashable.com

The issue involves network software called OpenSSL, which is an open-source set of libraries for encrypting online services. Secure websites — with “https” in the URL ("s" stands for secure) — make up 56% of websites, and nearly half of those sites were vulnerable to the bug. In theory, a cybercriminal could have exploited Heartbleed by making network requests that could piece together your sensitive data.

        mashable.com

However, there is also a  good news

There isn't any indication that a hacker caught wind of this; it seems the researchers were the first to locate the problem. But the scary part is that attackers could have infiltrated these websites, extracted the information they wanted and left no trace of their presence. Thus, it's hard to determine whether someone ever exploited the bug, or if your account information was compromised.

        indiatimes.com

So, what, as a user, are you supposed to do?

Image via mshcdn.com

First, check which sites you use are affected. If you don't want to read through the long list of websites with the security flaw, the password security firm LastPass has set up a Heartbleed Checker, which lets you enter the URL of any website to check its vulnerability to the bug and if the site has issued a patch.

        mashable.com

Next, change your passwords for major accounts — email, banking and social media logins — on sites that were affected by Heartbleed but patched the problem. However, if the site or service hasn't patched the flaw yet, there's no point to changing your password. Instead, ask the company when it expects to push out a fix to deal with Heartbleed.

        huffingtonpost.com

A big cause for concern is related to sites that have your sensitive information, such as Yahoo and OKCupid (most people aren't logging into NASA.gov with private data). Both companies have since issued a patch to fix the security hole, so users with accounts with those companies — including Yahoo Mail, Flickr and so on — should update their passwords immediately.

        mashable.com

Facebook and Twitter use OpenSSL web servers, though it's still unclear whether or not they were vulnerable to the issue. Facebook reportedly issued a security patch, as did Google. Other websites that have issued an OpenSSL software security update include WordPress, Amazon Web Services and Akamai. Some websites not considered vulnerable include AOL, Foursquare and Evernote, among others.

        huffingtonpost.com

Make sure to keep an eye on sensitive online accounts, especially banking and email, for suspicious activity for the next week or so.

        mashable.com

At this point, it isn't clear which sites have been affected and no one is certain if hackers were aware of the bug prior to the outbreak

Some Internet companies that were vulnerable to the bug have already updated their servers with a security patch to fix the issue. This means you'll need to go in and change your passwords immediately for these sites. Even that is no guarantee that your information wasn't already compromised, but there's no indication that hackers knew about the exploit before this week.

        mashable.com

REMEMBER: Changing your password regularly is always a good practice

A 'Dead' Woman Wakes Up, When The Doctors Were About to Cut Her Open

The story behind the 'dead' woman who woke up during organ harvesting surgery

A woman from New York woke up on a surgery table to find doctors preparing to harvest her organs for donation after they mistakenly assumed she was dead.

Mistakes: A federal report found that hospital officials didn't perform enough tests to accurately access if Burns was brain dead
Image via dailymail.co.uk

Colleen S Burns, 41, was a patient at St Joseph's Hospital Health Centre in 2009. She had arrived at the emergency room following a drug overdose, The Post Standard reports.

        inquisitr.com

Hospital notes revealed that the doctors thought she had undergone "cardiac death." After doctors consulted with the family, they agreed to withdraw life support and donate her organs.

        ndtv.com

The hospital had mishandled of the case

The hospital's mishandling of the case was part of the reason the state Health Department fined St Joseph's Hospital Health Center $22,000 last September.

        lifenews.com

The department found hospital's care of Burns in 2009 unacceptable and a federal agency criticised the hospital for not properly investigating the cause.

        indiatimes.com

Actually Burns was in a deep coma from her overdose, and did not have irreversible brain damage.

        ndtv.com

In addition to the total $22,000 fine, the hospital was ordered to hire a consultant to review the hospital's quality assurance program, implement the consultants recommendations and hire a consulting neurologist to teach staff how to accurately diagnose brain death.

        dailymail.co.uk

Here's what happened!

The state Health Department investigation of the incident found that when Burns was first admitted, they skipped a recommended treatment that would prevent the drugs she had taken - Xanax, Benadryl and a muscle relaxant - from being absorbed by her stomach and intestines.

        dailymail.co.uk

After doctors said she was essentially brain dead, her family agreed to take her off life support and her organs donated. But the day before the organs were to be removed, a nurse performed a reflex test and found that Burns was still reacting.

        nydailynews.com

She scraped her finger on the bottom of one of Burns' feet and her toes curled downward, a sign that she was still alive.
And that wasn't the only sign of life.

        mirror.co.uk

As she was being wheeled to the operating room, Burns' nostrils flared and it seemed she was breathing independently from the respirator. Her lips and tongue were moving as well.
But doctor's ignored the nurse's observations which indicated Burns was still alive.

        dailymail.co.uk

It wasn't until Burns opened her eyes in the OR that the procedure was called off.
Neither Burns or her family sued the hospital for malpractice. Sixteen months later, a determined Burns successfully committed suicide.

Tanya Orang Tepi Jalan Dan 7 Lagi Cara Kita Guna Untuk Cari Jalan Sebelum GPS Wujud

Zaman sekarang ni, nak pergi mana-mana dah tak ada masalah. Semuanya boleh diakses dengan wujudnya kemudahan GPS.

Image via fonpit.de

Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, HERE Maps, you name it. Aplikasi navigasi yang wujud pada masa kini dibina dengan satu misi sahaja iaitu memudahkan urusan kita untuk menuju ke sesuatu lokasi tanpa sesat, dan tanpa membuang masa dan tenaga.Semuanya mudah sekarang. Sebelum mulakan perjalanan, buka aplikasi, search lokasi, pilih route yang diberi, dan selamat jalan.

Tapi kalau zaman dulu, macam mana kita cari jalan ya?

Image via gurl.com

Jalan pun kita tak tahu, trafik pun kita tak tahu sama ada jam atau tak, main redah je asalkan sampai ke destinasi yang dituju.Sebelum kewujudan GPS, mungkin 8 cara inilah yang kita guna untuk cari jalan:

1. Sebelum keluar, kita akan study dulu setiap jalan dan setiap simpang yang akan kita masuk

Image via gifsec.com

Bentang peta, ambil satu kertas, lepas tu lukiskan satu per satu simpang kiri dan kanan, u-turn, roundabout, jalan lurus, traffic light, dan segala bagai yang ada sehingga sampai ke destinasi.Lepas dah lukis, jangan lupa bawak masuk kereta sebelum mulakan perjalanan. Kalau kertas tu tertinggal, memang wajib patah balik pergi ambil kat rumah.

2. Bergantung 100 peratus pada sign board

Image via blogspot.com

Peta tak ada, sign board jelah yang boleh kita harapkan. Tapi jujurnya, agak leceh juga kalau bergantung 100% pada signboard. Maklumlah, bukan semua lokasi ada tercatat kat sign board tu.Kalau setakat nak pergi Putrajaya tu senang lagi. Bila dah masuk Presint berapa, jalan mana, lorong apa, taman apa, rumah nombor berapa, nama bangunan apa, haaa kan dah susah tu. Memang sesat lah jawabnya.

3. Ikut landmarks sepanjang jalan

Image via mommyish.com

Apa yang kita ingat, rumah kawan kita tu kat sebelah stesen minyak Petronas Taman ABC. Maka jenuhlah kita cari Taman ABC. Tapi, selagi tak jumpa Petronas, selagi itulah kita tak puas hati, selagi itu jugaklah kita rasa tak confident yang kita berada di jalan yang betul.Walaupun dah terang-terang kita memang ada kat Taman ABC. WAJIB CARI PETRONAS!

4. Bawa orang yang pernah pergi atau yang tahu jalan

Image via pinimg.com

"Kau tahu jalan kan? Jom ikut aku."Dialog kat atas ni rasanya macam dah jarang-jarang digunakan oleh pemandu zaman sekarang, baik lelaki mahupun perempuan. Tapi kalau zaman dulu, yang tahu jalan terpaksalah jadi tourist guide atau berfungsi sebagai GPS bagi kawan sebelah yang nak bawa kereta tu.Nak tak nak, kena ikut jugak. Yang penting, member belanja makan. Tu pun kalau kawan tu tak kedekut lah.

5. Tanya orang tepi jalan

Image via SAYS

Hihihi macam tak biasa. Kadang-kadang yang pakai GPS pun boleh sesat, dan akhirnya memilih cara ini untuk cari jalan. Berhenti je kat mana-mana, buka tingkap, dan tanya direction.Kalau bernasib baik, dapatlah kita maklumat terperinci tentang macam mana nak tuju ke tempat yang kita nak pergi tu. Tapi, kalau orang yang kita tanya tu tak reti bagi direction, last last mesti kita akan sesat jugak.Baik tak payah tanya. Haha.

6. Call kawan

Image via SAYS

Nak pergi rumah kawan tu tapi tak tahu macam mana nak tuju? Tak ada masalah, boleh call je terus untuk confirm-kan direction. Agak-agak kalau dah sesat tu, berhenti kejap kat tepi jalan to make a phone call. Jangan call masa tengah drive pulak ya, nanti kena saman.Jenuh sikitlah si kawan tu nak explain. Sebab dia kena tahu kita ada kat mana, jalan apa, menghadap mana, kiri kanan ada apa, kat depan ada Petronas ke tak, dan macam-macam lagi. Lepas dah dapat semua details ni, barulah boleh tunjuk jalan.

7. Tunggu kat mana-mana, lepas tu biar kawan pergi ambil

Image via gifsec.com

Yang ini jenis pemalas dan tak suka bazir tenaga dan minyak petrol serta berpandangan jauh ke hadapan. Daripada sesat tak habis-habis, lebih baik call member dan suruh dia pick up kita kat sesuatu tempat yang dia familiar.Paling senang, sama ada kat Petronas atau masjid, atau mana-mana landmark yang famous kat tempat tu. Contohnya kalau nak pergi Shah Alam, tunggu je kat Masjid Shah Alam tu.

8. When all else fails, always remember the 'trial and error' method

Image via giphy.com

Yang ni pulak, bila dah betul-betul tak ada choice atau bila dah tak ada cara lain langsung. Pakai peta dah, bawak kawan dah, tanya orang tepi jalan pun dah, tapi tetap tak sampai-sampai. Tak tahulah mana silapnya. Phone pulak mati tak boleh nak call. Senang cerita memang bad day lah masa tu.Terpaksalah redah jalan dan cari sampai jumpa. Sesat pun sesatlah, yang penting usaha tu ada. Bermulalah satu pengembaraan di mana kita akan masuk setiap simpang, setiap lorong, setiap jalan, dan setiap taman yang ada tulis kat sign board. Pusing sana, pusing sini, u-turn sana, u-turn sini, masuk situ, masuk sini, tapi tiba-tiba jumpa jugak tempat yang nak dituju. Pernah berlaku tak? Hehe.

Musim Tengkujuh Bakal Tiba, TNB Sudah Siap Sedia Hadapi Banjir Terburuk

Penghujung tahun merupakan waktu yang agak membimbangkan di kawasan tanah rendah di Malaysia

Ini kerana perubahan monsun yang membawa hujan lebat dan angin kencang menjadi penyebab utama banjir.Bagi menghadapi musim tengkujuh yang bakal melanda ini, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) dalam satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan telah pun bersiap siaga menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan buruk yang berlaku.

Tiga empangan jadi tebatan banjir

Dalam satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Ketua Pegawai Penjanaan TNB, Roslan Abd Rahman, pihaknya sudah membuat persiapan awal iaitu menjadikan empangan sebagai tebatan banjir.Tiga empangan TNB yang diletakkan dalam keadaan bersiap sedia menghadapi musim tengkujuh ialah empangan hidroelektrik di Tasik Kenyir, Terengganu, Cameron Highlands, Pahang dan Sungai Perak, Perak.

[NEW UPDATE] Zahid Hamidi Finally Speaks Up About "Shoot First" Remark

Taken out of context

Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) has claimed that his "shoot first" remark was in reference to the fatal shooting of five suspected gangsters in Penang in August by police during an operation.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In a live 20-minute interview with news channel Astro Awani today, he said, his tough, no-nonsense stand was based on "universal humanitarian" grounds.
Ahmad Zahid explained that "humanitarian" in his context meant safeguarding the rights of both civilians and policemen, who were victims of violence.

        msn.com

“I was referring to what happened in Penang, where five (suspected) criminals were killed by the police, because according to information (obtained from police) intelligence (revealed) that (the suspects) were armed.

        wordpress.com

"Are the police only allowed to defend themselves after they are shot? If that is the case, surely a lot of police will die if they do so," he added.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"To me, 'shoot first, ask questions later' does not arise. This is a wild statement made by them," He also replied in the affirmitive when he was asked again if the police only shot the five after they had confirmed the gangsters were armed.

HOME Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should be arrested immediately and charged in court for instigating murder, said a lawyers' group.

        malaysiandigest.com

Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) said they are disturbed at Ahmad Zahid's "shoot first" approach to law enforcement, which he allegedly took during a speech at Malacca International Trade Centre on Friday.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"It is disturbing that our Home Minister has given his endorsement to all law enforcement officials to mete out death sentences to suspected offenders on the street, without due process. It is evident that the Home Minister is unaware of the basic concepts of the rule of law that underpins our justice system and has chosen to trample on the Federal Constitution and human rights."

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"His unfeeling statement has disregarded and disrespected the tragic deaths of innocent Malaysians such as Aminulrasyid Amzah, D. Dinesh and Pua Bee Chun," she said, referring to victims of police shooting.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“By encouraging law enforcers to ‘shoot first’, the home minister has effectively ordered policemen and officials to disregard the criminal justice system, due process and has legitimized the cold-blooded murder of ‘suspects’ without ever being brought before a court of law,” the group said.

        themalaymailonline.com

"In view of the criminal nature of Zahid’s statement, we call for his immediate arrest and prosecution for instigating murder. We also call upon Prime Minister Najib Razak to take stern action against ministers who display such disregard for human lives and civil liberties."

Human Rights Watch says Zahid Hamidi is promoting the illegal use of lethal force

Human Rights Watch says Zahid Hamidi is promoting the illegal use of lethal force

The government should act to ensure that the Home Minister’s support for the police to “shoot first” when apprehending criminal suspects is not police policy, Human Rights Watch said today.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“Home Minister Zahid is Malaysia’s top law enforcement official, yet he is promoting the illegal use of lethal force,” said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch.

        hrw.org

“Prime Minister Najib should be clear he won’t tolerate such statements or unlawful practices, which show a callous disregard for basic rights.”

        hrw.org

Various incidents suggest that Malaysian police have at times adopted a “shoot first” policy, Human Rights Watch said. A “shoot first” policy by law enforcement personnel violates international human rights law and standards.

        hrw.org

“Killings of criminal suspects by Malaysian police suggest that Minister Zahid’s disturbing remarks may already reflect the practice of some law enforcement officials,” Robertson said. “Too many people have died in a hail of police bullets for Malaysia’s leaders to continue to sit on their hands.”

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Latheefa Koya, co-founder of Lawyers for Liberty, says Zahid Hamidi confirms shoot to kill policy

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s comment on a “shoot first” approach when dealing with suspected gang members validates previous fears that the unwritten policy existed within the police force, a human rights lawyer said today.

        themalaymailonline.com

Co-founder of Lawyers for Liberty, Latheefa Koya, said the home minister was essentially giving the police a free pass to be trigger happy when confronting suspected criminals.

        themalaymailonline.com

“With the home minister saying it in such fashion, it has confirmed out worst fears that there is a shoot to kill policy. He is calling to do murder basically. It is completely wrong, completely illegal... I think he should be investigated immediately,” the PKR legal bureau chief said.

MCA vice-president Gan Ping Sieu says Zahid Hamidi is portraying Malaysia as a lawless nation

The “shoot first” approach to law enforcement advocated by Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will portray Malaysia as a lawless nation, said MCA vice-president Gan Ping Sieu.

        themalaymailonline.com

“A shoot to kill or shoot first policy is liable to make mistake and possible abuses. We will send a wrong signal to the world that this is a country of lawlessness and without rule of law. It tells a lot just what kind of country in the world adopt shoot first policy,”

        malaysiandigest.com

“It is a fundamental duty of any government to provide a safe living environment. It is about law and order. Tough on crime is necessary. But no law enforcement can ever be justified on ethnic grounds,” Gan said.

        malaysiandigest.com

“The remark is wholly uncalled for. Zahid has earlier assured members of the public that ‘police are colour blind’. His latest remark, if not read out of context, is most unbecoming. Crime and law enforcement have nothing to do with colour.

        themalaymailonline.com

PKR vice-president N. Surendran says all previous fatal shootings by police must be re-opened

Padang Serai MP and PKR vice-president N. Surendran said Zahid has now cast suspicion over the circumstances of all instances of the discharge of firearms by the police. “In light of Zahid’s statement, all previous cases of fatal shootings by police must be re-opened.

        themalaymailonline.com

“In view of the seriousness of the matter, which involves the lives of ordinary Malaysians, we call for the immediate formation of a Royal Commission of Inquiry,” Surendran said in a statement today.

8 Oct: Home Minister Zahid Hamidi admits shoot-first-ask-questions-later policy in a recording obtained by Malaysiakini

Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has declared a “shoot first” policy for the police in dealing with suspected gang members in the wake of a violent crime spree that has resulted in Malays making up the majority of the victims.

        themalaymailonline.com

Home Minister Zahid Hamidi admits shoot-first-ask-questions-later policy in a recording obtained by Malaysiakini

Image via imgur.com

Ahmad Zahid was speaking at a ‘security briefing ceremony with community leaders’ last Saturday in what appeared to be a government function that turned into an Umno affair.

        newsxs.com

Malaysiakini reported that journalists received warnings by the minister not to report what he had said. The news portal, however, obtained a 20-minute recording of the speech from an assemblyman in Malacca.

        themalaysianinsider.com

WATCH: "Jangan ada lagi amaran kepada mereka, kita ada bukti kita tembak"

      Unsupported video platform

The recording showed Ahmad Zahid saying that 28,000 of the 40,000 gang members identified are of Indian ethnicity, and that there was nothing wrong in detaining them.

Referring to the Penang shootout where 5 gangsters were shot dead without warning, Zahid Hamidi says the best way to deal with criminals is to shoot first

Image via imgur.com

"What is the situation of robbery victims, murder victims during shootings? Most of them are our Malays. Most of them are our race,” he said.

        malaysiakini.com

"I think the best way is that we no longer compromise with them. There is no need to give them any more warning. If (we) get the evidence, (we) shoot first.”

        malaysiakini.com

Ahmad Zahid then immediately highlighted the fatal shooting of five suspected Indian gangsters in Penang in August and chastised Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P Waythamoorthy - albeit without naming him - for raising questions about the incident.

        malaysiakini.com

"There is a deputy minister ... he disputed me and the police. He (asked) why there were no warning shots first before shooting. I said that if you want to be (in) a NGO, resign as a deputy minister. He is not qualified to be a deputy minister," he said to cheers in the room.

        malaysiakini.com

He went on to brag about his success in getting the Dewan Rakyat on his side to reintroduce "his new law", the Prevention of Crime Act

Zahid also bragged declared that the amendment to the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (PCA) that reintroduces detention without trial was "my new law". The revised PCA allows for indefinite detention without trial for durations of two years at a time.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"We investigate (criminal cases), we take it to the courts. If there is no evidence, if there is not enough evidence, at least there are still two years’ (detention). That is my new law, there is no compromise.”

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"The Internal Security Act has been repealed, the Emergency Ordinance has been repealed, the Restricted Residence Act has been repealed, but they (opposition) did not notice the PCA 1959, they did not notice it."

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"I discussed with the inspector-general of police...with the ministry's legal adviser.. with Shahidan Kassim so that when the time comes (for a vote), the ... speaker would be on our side, the Dewan Rakyat secretary will be on our side".

        malaysia-chronicle.com

He then related how the opposition bench, where there are many lawyers, had made their case in the Dewan Rakyat against the amendments during the debate which extended to almost nine hours.

        malaysiakini.com

"I am not a lawyer. I was a banker, so I just listened. I did not understand what they said and even if I did I would not want to understand what they said because they were defending gangsters. Whoever who defends gangsters, I will surely oppose them," he said.

        malaysiakini.com

Malaysiakini reported that journalists were removed from the event towards the end of his speech with threats to shut down their newspapers

Reporters were unceremoniously kicked out towards the end of his speech and threatened by the home minister against reporting the contents or he would shut down their newspapers.

        malaysiakini.com

The threat succeeded in silencing most of the media although Oriental Daily News reported Ahmad Zahid's warning after he made "sensitive remarks". It did not give details of his comments.

Zahid had been speaking at what appeared to be a government briefing to community leaders on security matters but apparently, the meeting quickly dwindled into an Umno affair, with Zahid taking full advantage to 'pitch' for votes.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"Zahid is not a dumb loud-mouth, but quite a sharp politician. In any developed democracy, he would be stripped of his job. But here in predominantly-Malay Malaysia, he is a hero,"

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"To the Malays, he is doing what all good Umno leaders should do. To ensure the Malays get what they want and to make sure the non-Malays are kept in their place, bring out the guns and the tough laws so that no one dares to revolt."

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"Tak Nak Anak Perempuan Ke?" - Ada 5 Anak Lelaki, Ibu Ini Hanya Tersenyum & Kongsi Hikmah

Setiap ibu bapa mengimpikan sebuah keluarga bahagia bersama anak-anak

Ada pasangan yang mengidamkan keluarga kecil, ada juga yang mengidamkan keluarga besar.Untuk soal anak pula, ada juga yang merancang dan mengimpikan jumlah anak yang seimbang dari segi jantina. Contohnya dua anak lelaki dan dua anak perempuan, atau seorang anak lelaki dan seorang anak perempuan.Tanyalah mana-mana ibu bapa sekali pun, pasti kesemua mereka mahukan cahaya mata lelaki dan perempuan.

Tetapi, tidak semua ibu bapa bernasib baik dan dikurniakan kedua-dua cahaya mata ini

Sesetengah pasangan langsung tidak dikurniakan sebarang cahaya mata. Dalam situasi lain, ada pula pasangan yang diberi rezeki anak, tetapi tidak seperti yang diinginkan.Perkongsian dari Puan Siti Maisarah Saifuddin di FB ini adalah salah satu contoh yang paling tepat. Ibu kepada 5 orang anak lelaki ini sering diaju soalan seperti, "Tak teringin anak perempuan ke?" ke mana saja dia pergi.

Image via Siti Maisarah Saifuddin

Si ibu yang tabah ini hanya tersenyum setiap kali ditanya soalan itu dan berkongsi hikmah di sebalik tidak mempunyai anak perempuan.
Baca di bawah:

Story sharing harini..Apabila saya kemana, ditanya dengan persoalan, "Ya Allah, semua 5 lelaki ke? Macamana Sarah jaga?"Saya hanya mampu tersenyum.Sempat saya berseloroh,"Anak pertama kedua ni, memang jadi harimau singa. Tapi masuk no 5, dah jadi Naga berapi uminya. Hahaha"Org arab kata, Get what I mean?Yes! Bukan semudah yg disangka.Kalau yg pertama lelaki, adalah bonus bagi saya.Anak kedua lelaki, Allah nak bagi Kawan Untuk abangnya.Anak ketiga juga lelaki, Allah nk bagi Geng Surau ayahnya.Yang keEmpat juga lelaki, itu tanda Allah cukup kan pengusung Jenazah saya.Dan apabila yg ke5 juga lelaki,Tiada ungkapan yg terbaik melainkan syukur tak terhingga.Bererti Allah izinkan saya merasa menjadi Permaisuri dikalangan mereka.

Image via Siti Maisarah Saifuddin

Seringkali juga saya ditanya, "Tak teringin ke Anak perempuan? "Tipulah kalau tak teringin. Saya juga manusia normal.Tapi itu kuasa Allah swt.Bukan terletak pada kuasa saya.Allah lebih mengetahui,Kenapa Allah mengurniakan saya semua Anak lelaki.Kerana Allah mahu saya kuat!Ya!. Saya mesti kuat.Untuk mereka. Untuk saya.Wahai IBU yang punya Anak semua lelaki,Jangan sedih. Jangan merintih.Berbanggalah kerana kita menjadi cinta pertama buat mereka..Ya Allah,Jaga kan pahlawan muda saya. Moga menjadi pahlawan syurga.amin.Doakan saya moga kuat menjaga mereka..#cintapertamaanaklelaki#kisahbenar#kisahsaya

Security Guards 'Stopped People From Leaving'

About 2,000 people were inside the club when the fire broke out -- double the maximum capacity of 1,000, said Guido de Melo, a state fire official.
Investigators have received preliminary information that security guards stopped people from exiting the club, he told Globo TV.
"People who were inside the facility informed us ... that security guards blocked the exit to prevent people there from leaving, and that's when the crowd starting panicking, and the tragedy grew worse," he said.
The fire started "from out of nowhere" on a stage at the club and quickly spread to the ceiling, witness Jairo Vieira told Band News.
"People started running," survivor Luana Santos Silva told Globo TV. "I fell on the floor."
There was a pyrotechnics show going on inside the club when the fire started. Authorities stopped short of blaming it for the blaze, saying the cause was still under investigation.
Video from the scene showed firefighters shooting streams of water at the club and shirtless men trying to break down a wall with axes.

Witnesses said bouncers initially blocked the only functioning exit because they believed fleeing customers were trying to skip out on their bar tabs.

“We were only able to get out quickly because we were in a VIP area close to the door," said a survivor.

Shirtless young men who had attended a university party joined firefighters using axes and sledgehammers to pound at windows and hot-pink exterior walls to free those trapped inside.

Self-Service Laundrettes In MCO Areas Are Now Allowed To Open

The government has now decided to allow self-service laundrettes in the areas under Movement Control Order (MCO) to operate, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said yesterday, 14 January

×

According to Ismail Sabri, the self-service laundrettes, however, must ensure that an employee is present at the premises to monitor

"After much discussion, the government has decided to allow self-service laundrettes to operate, however, there must be a staff of the laundry present to monitor the situation," he said.The Defence Minister said that this decision was taken because the government listens to people and their grouses on the need to use the laundry to wash and dry their clothes especially during the rainy season."The laundrette must provide temperature scanners, hand sanitiser, and the MySejahtera app," he stated, adding that the staff should monitor that people keep to the physical distancing measures.Overall, it would be the laundrette's responsibility to control the number of patrons in the premise and that patrons abide by the standard operating procedures (SOPs) set by the Ministry of Health.

The laundrettes are allowed to operate from 6am to 8pm

"The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs will also conduct checks at the laundrettes to ensure that the public complies to the SOPs. If the owner was found to flout the SOPs and there was no staff to monitor the premise, the ministry will close the shop," Ismail Sabri added.

Do you remember celebrating Hari Kebangsaan in primary school?

I'll always have fond memories of lining up during that one special perhimpunan where we'd sing our hearts out to patriotic songs while waving hand-drawn Jalur Gemilang.And every year without fail, my drawing would end up looking something like this:

I tried, I really did.

However, the celebration is so much more than just flag-waving and singing songs

The struggle for independence started long before the historic moment at Dataran Merdeka on 31 August 1957.

We did a bit of digging and found that some of our national symbols had surprising origins too.

What's the story behind the Jalur Gemilang? Why was 31 August 1957 chosen as the date when Hari Kebangsaan was first celebrated?
Try the quiz below to find out!

So, how? Are you truly an anak Malaysia?

It's okay if you didn't get everything right. We were so sure Tunku Abdul Rahman chanted 'Merdeka' three times as well.But now that you know, share this quiz with your friends and see which of you is the sejarah buff.
