Former Second Finance Minister Johari May Return To Cabinet If BN Wins GE15

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

UMNO's Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, who is contesting from Titiwangsa, may see himself return to the Cabinet if his coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) wins the 15th General Election (GE15)

According to Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, any cabinet under his leadership is incomplete without the presence of an economic expert such as Johari, who was the second finance minister pre-GE14.Ismail Sabri, who is also UMNO vice-president, said a new government will be in need of people with vast experience in economics like Johari to develop and steer the country forward, reported New Straits Times."We need people like Johari. It is a loss to the Cabinet without him, since the line-up is missing the presence of an economic expert like Johari. Therefore, the people (in Titiwangsa) must make sure Johari wins the election if they want him to be appointed (as a minister in the next Federal government)," Ismail Sabri said.

Johari held the Titiwangsa seat for one term before he lost the seat to Datuk Seri Rina Harun, who ran under Pakatan Harapan (PH) in GE14

Rina's party, Bersatu, then split from PH in 2020, resulting in the collapse of the PH government.This GE15, Johari is hoping to make a comeback and reclaim his Titiwangsa seat, where a four-cornered fight will see him vie for votes with PAS' Dr Rosni Adam under Perikatan Nasional (PN), Pejuang's Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan, and Amanah's Khalid Abdul Samad under PH on Saturday, 19 November.And Ismail Sabri, who is hopeful that the Titiwangsa constituents will vote for a candidate with a proven track record, said that although Johari lost in GE14, he continued to provide his services to the people.Taking a veiled jab against Rina, who is contesting in Sepang instead of defending Titiwangsa, the caretaker Prime Minister said, "The person who won the seat (in GE14) is missing (from the constituency)."

Meanwhile, Johari has supported Ismail Sabri's idea for a less bloated Cabinet as it will make the decision-making process more efficient

He said that the move proposed by Ismail Sabri was not only a cost-saving measure, but that a smaller Cabinet will also make running the country a smoother and more efficient process."If we cut down the number of Cabinet members, we can make it a team that is stronger and more efficient because it won't be too big a group [...] What this means also is that we can implement more policies. [With a bigger cabinet], we may have good policies but it takes time for them to be implemented," he added.According to Johari, a smaller Cabinet will also mean there's less politicking."This would mean we can implement things faster and this is important as we are chasing time now, and are basically four and a half years behind because of two years of COVID-19," he said.Asked about the possibility of a return to the Cabinet if BN forms the government after GE15, Johari said he was ready to answer the call and use all the expertise he has in the corporate world.

In a conversation with tech experts, the American Bar Association found that fast-charging is not inherently bad for your phone, but there is a certain degree of risk that comes with the heat that fast-charging generates. Additionally, fast-charging can also accelerate a phone's charging cycle, hindering the battery's performance in the long run.

Redmi hasn't stated whether they'll be bringing this charging technology into the market anytime soon.
But if they did, would you get it? Let us know!

MOH: Recovered COVID-19 Patients May Have Lower Levels Of Immunity

During a press conference yesterday, 24 June, Health director-general (D-G) Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah discussed findings of lower immunity levels in recovered COVID-19 patients

Aside from complications affecting the lungs and hearts of critically-ill COVID-19 patients, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has discovered that recovered patients may also experience reduced immunity levels after three months. Dr Noor Hisham explained that an individual's level of antibodies - proteins that protect the body against foreign substances - was found to have decreased months after recovery. "If a person has low immunity, they are then susceptible to infections other than COVID-19," the Health D-G noted.

Image via ODISI

In partnership with the Institute of Respiratory Medicine, the MOH is currently conducting tests and check-ups monitoring the long-term effects of the novel coronavirus on patients

In particular, Dr Noor Hisham said that the ministry will be ensuring follow-up care for COVID-19 patients who were under categories four and five. Category four refers to individuals who require oxygen, while category five patients are those who have to be supported with a ventilator.

Some of the long-term effects of COVID-19 includes lung complications and slower blood flow

According to Dr Noor Hisham, the SARS-CoV-2 virus typically attacks the lungs, causing a 'cytokine storm', which is the sudden and excessive release of pro-inflammatory proteins within the body. This could lead to organ failure and potential death. The surge of these molecules could result in slower blood flow around the body, leading to increased chances of blood clotting, where the blood converts from a liquid to a gel state. Dr Noor Hisham confirmed that, "There are two or three patients who have had this [phenomena] happen in their intestines and kidneys."

Doctors have been advised to use specific medication for treating lung-related issues and to prevent blood clotting

The Health D-G mentioned that dexamethasone, the anti-inflammatory steroid said to raise survival rates in critically-ill COVID-19 patients, should be given to those with pneumonia.

He added that low-molecular-weight heparin, commonly known as a blood thinner, can be used to prevent blood clotting.

Fireworks can be seen during every festival in Malaysia, but many are still considered illegal due to danger risks

According to Minor Offences Act 1955, those who are caught letting off fireworks – unless authorised to do so – may be subjected to punishment in the form of a fine of not more than RM100, or imprisonment for no more than a month, if not both. In other words, you may submit an application to obtain permission or licence to ignite fireworks for certain events.Otherwise, the only types of fireworks that are legal are from the brands Happy Boom and Pop Pop, as reported by Bernama last year.

[VIDEO] M'sian Influencer Shares Simple Ways To Level Up Your Home With Smart Devices

Smart homes are becoming increasingly popular these days

In essence, smart homes are homes that are fitted with hi-tech Internet-enabled devices that you can control remotely. From lighting systems to security systems, smart homes are becoming all the rage because of their convenience, comfort, and added layers of security.

In this video, Brenda speaks with Chris Yap, influencer and DIY home decor extraordinaire, on how you can level up your home and make it a smart home

Watch the full video here:

×

Chris begins by explaining what makes a home "smart", which basically means home automation

Chris: "Think of it as you can control the lighting, the air conditioning, and electronic appliances at home, with just your smartphone. Practically from anywhere!"

Image via GIPHY

When asked how one can go about incorporating smart devices into their homes, Chris said that installing outdoor security devices is the way to go

Brenda: "Wow! So, for someone like me who doesn't know anything about smart homes, what is my first step to entering that?"Chris: "First step, don't start with the inside, start with the outside. So, what we can do is we can install a smart security system and usually these come with a CCTV with an app that you can use on your smartphone."

Image via GIPHY

According to Chris, smart light bulbs are also a great way to level up your home

Chris: "The first step for people to take into the smart home world is usually smart bulbs because they're relatively inexpensive. So just put them behind the table, behind the monitor, and you get this really nice accent lighting."Brenda: "Yes, actually that's one thing I've been meaning to get. Because I've seen the ones behind the monitor, like it really enhances your user experience."

Did you know that there are also smart appliances? Whoa, talk about cool, right?

Chris: "So, there are stuff like smart kettles, vacuums, fridge, and even smart rice cookers. The best thing about these is that you can set a timer on these."Brenda: "Just now I said I wanted lights, right, but I think this is what I need."

Chris recommends checking out SECOM Smart Malaysia, because they have an extensive and complete package

Chris: "The difference between an old school CCTV system and one from SECOM Smart Malaysia is that not only can you monitor the CCTV from the app itself, the simple plug and play method of installation also means less renovation costs."They also provide 24/7 monitoring service, meaning they have live agents to respond to any alarm of suspicious activities."

SECOM Smart Malaysia is one of Malaysia's leading security service providers, known for their state-of-the-art residential and commercial security systems

Besides their impressive smart home security system, they also have a variety of other smart products, like motion sensors, door sensors, window sensors, and smoke detectors, all of which you can control on your smartphone via the SECOM Smart Malaysia app.However, you don't need to use the app all the time, because all you really need is a handy dandy home assistant device to do the work for you! A home assistant is essentially a microphone that you fit around the house, so just speak into the device and you're good to go.Besides providing awesome security solutions for your home and office, what's great about SECOM Smart Malaysia is that they also provide installation services, making it super convenient for their customers.

CEO Astro, Rohana Rozhan Letak Jawatan

Datuk Rohana Rozhan telah meletak jawatan sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Astro Malaysia Holdings, kata pengendali televisyen satelit itu dalam satu kenyataan

Image via Variety

Perletakan jawatannya akan berkuatkuasa mulai 31 Januari 2019, namun begitu beliau tetap akan kekal disana sebagai Pengarah Bukan Eksekutif. Datuk Rohana yang telah bersama Astro selama 20 tahun bakal digantikan oleh Ketua Pegawai Kandungan dan Konsumer Kumpulan Astro (GCCCO), Henry Tan."Rohana merupakan pemimpin yang memberi inspirasi kepada semua di Astro, setelah memimpin pasukan dalam menetapkan banyak perkara dan tonggak utama bagi industri media di Malaysia."Kami menghormati keputusannya untuk meletak jawatan sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan dan mengharapkan yang terbaik juga masa hadapan yang cerah kepadanya," kata Pengerusi Astro, Tun Zaki Azmi dalam satu kenyataan.

Sehari sebelum peletakan jawatan Datuk Rohana, laman berita teknologi Lowyat.net telah melaporkan sebanyak lebih 50,000 maklumat peribadi pelanggan Astro bocor dan ditawarkan untuk dijual dalam talian

Image via Sayang Sabah

Rekod maklumat peribadi tersebut didakwa telah ditawarkan pada kadar RM3,000 untuk 10,000 orang pelanggan, termasuk nama, alamat, nombor MyKad, nombor telefon dan lain-lain. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat sumber yang menyatakan perletakan jawatan Datuk Rohana tiada kaitan dengan pelanggaran atau kebocoran data ini, juga tiada kena mengena dengan 'pembersihan' ketua eksekutif syarikat berkaitan kerajaan."Tidak, ia tidak ada hubungannya sama sekali dengan perletakan jawatan beramai-ramai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif. Tiada kaitan dengan (kebocoran data) juga," kata sumber itu kepada Malay Mail.Memetik laporan Malay Mail juga, Datuk Rohana dikatakan meninggalkan kedudukannya yang tinggi untuk 'mengejar matlamat lain'.

Siti, who was freed after Court dismissed an application for her remand, said that she will continue to represent her client as Anis "does not trust anyone else at the moment.""I will keep fighting for her. She trusts me now, at the moment she does not trust anyone. Poor girl," FMT reported Siti as saying, who thanked the court for dismissing the remand application, saying she was just doing her duty as a lawyer.Siti defended her action saying she was doing her job, which included standing up for what she believed in and "not taking any nonsense from anyone"."As I told the police, I am doing my job as a lawyer, which means I have to defend my client vigorously. It was necessary to stand up to them last night and to do things rightly, properly, correctly, as well as take no nonsense from anyone."I have not contacted her since my arrest yesterday, but I believe she is being looked after by the Women's Aid Organisation (WAO)," referring to her 24-year-old client, Siti was quoted as saying by Malay Mail during a press conference.

Siti, however, holds no grudges against the police, who she said were only doing their job. "It's okay, no problem. It is just that I have to spend one night in lock-up and missed my dinner," she added.

"I will give my full cooperation to the police to resolve this issue."We are going to work together because there are many things (happening) behind (the scenes), which you probably know by now."So, I do feel for them (police) because sometimes, you can't get the whole picture or the whole story and I think that was the reason why the magistrate rejected the remand upon hearing the whole and true picture of how it ended up like this," Malaysiakini reported the lawyer as saying during a joint press meet with police.The powerhouse lawyer, however, added that while the police were doing their job, they needed to take other things into consideration, reported FMT."That's not up to me, maybe look at the standard operating procedure again, just like in my client's case. Claiming she was suffering from mental health issues, the police just grab her, trying to put her in a jacket without any proper procedure."Then anyone can lodge a report against you and claim that you are mentally retarded," Siti said, adding that without a proper procedure, the system could be abused.

Meanwhile, even though Siti has been freed, the Kajang police chief ACP said they will continue to investigate her for allegedly obstructing a public servant from discharging his public duties

According to a report in Malay Mail, Kajang police chief ACP Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof said they expect the investigation paper under Section 186 of the Penal Code to be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor at a later date."We were investigating a police report lodged on 21 June, under Section 363 of the Penal Code, wherein a 24-year old Malay woman was abducted from Kajang Hospital while in police custody," he was quoted as saying by Malay Mail today.

Siti, on the other hand, has no idea where Anis is at the moment but she believed that her client could be under the protection of WAO


We Know There's Nothing Like Online Shopping Sites With Free Shipping To Malaysia

1. Amazon.com, Inc.: One of the oldest and the world's largest online retailer, Amazon offers a select range of products that can be shipped to Malaysia. Free shipping is conditional.

Image via wired.com

One of largest online shopping sites in the world. Unfortunately, this site delivers only some products to Malaysia though. The website was launched in 1995, and originally it only sold books. Now customers can find almost anything on Amazon, including jewellery, CDs, electronic gadgets, toys and clothing. Unfortunately, not all products on Amazon will ship internationally. Malaysians can find out if an item will be shipped here by looking at the product detail page. If you see a note saying “This item is also available for shipping to select countries outside the U.S.,” then it may be shipped to Malaysia.

        leapingpost.com

Here are 10 things you can buy on Amazon and ship to Malaysia: Books, Blu-Ray Movies, Music CDs, Original Movie Memorabilia, Baby Clothes, Kids Toys, Video Games (PS3, Xbox 360), Fine Art, Bedding and Bath (Bath Rug, Comforters, Bed Sheets) and Sport & Outdoor Accessories. However, not all products are shipped for free in Malaysia. So be aware of this when ordering from Amazon by checking the delivery charges to Malaysia, if any. Be sure to check the cost of this when you proceed to checkout.

        leapingpost.com

2. eBay: A multinational e-commerce site, it provides consumer-to-consumer sales services, and in addition to its auction-style sales, eBay has also expanded to include "Buy It Now" shopping

Image via leapingpost.com

eBay Malaysia offers a big selection of new and fixed price merchandise – from electronics to fashion. Users can pay via PayPal, credit card, debit card, online bank transfer and others. Malaysians can now buy from a pool of local listings, and over 25 million new global listings using ebay.com.my. Shoppers have access to more daily bargains, including up to 90% discounts off the recommended retail prices of a range of electronics, mobile accessories, computers and watches.

        malaysianwireless.com

The site now has a personal way to curate your own shopping experience and discover items, called Feed. This new feature creates the experience of an online personal shopper by matching customer interest with eBay’s global inventory. It’s similar to creating a news feed. Also, they do offer free shipping. Just keep an eye out for sellers that are offering free shipping. Sellers in Malaysia are more likely to offer free shipping especially on purchases exceeding a certain amount.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

eBay is a safe place to buy and sell. Some tips before you purchase anything from eBay: Look out for the eBay Buyer Protection logo- If you did not receive the item that you purchased or got cheated, you will be reimbursed up to a maximum of RM 750, if you meet the conditions. If you’ve paid for your item using PayPal, you’re also covered by PayPal Buyer Protection. Check the seller’s reputation- Look out for the percentage of “Positive feedback” rated by the buyers, also if the seller is rated “Power Seller”, it means the person has consistently met the requirements established by eBay and can be generally trusted. Read buyers feedback- If you spot any negative comments on the seller, avoid purchasing from the seller.

        malaysianwireless.com

3. Book Depository: A UK-based online book seller with a motto to make "All Books Available to All", its large catalogue is offered with free shipping to over 160 countries. Yes, that includes Malaysia.

Image via cloudfront.net

Book Depository is an online book store many people haven’t heard of in Malaysia, but it’s a gem. This online book store is based in the UK but delivers internationally, including Malaysia. Even better is the fact the site offers free international delivery. Book Depository claims to offer over nine million titles. When you search the site, you’ll likely believe that figure, given the site’s robust book selection.  You can search the website by keywords, best sellers, ‘fast movers’, ‘book of the week’ and more.

        leapingpost.com

However, last year when the curator of this story had ordered a book from the Book Depository, he did not receive the book. Although, the customer service (via email) tried to track down the delivery and also sent another copy, but even that didn't get delivered. Refusing to cooperate after that, the site then stopped email exchange that too without ensuring the payment that was made is refunded. So be slightly alert when placing an order.

Some Other Online Shopping Sites Worth Mentioning

ASOS: One of the UK's largest online fashion websites, ASOS carries over 850 brands. It ships to over 237 countries with the facility for free shipping to Malaysia.

Image via shemazing.net

ASOS has an attractive website, comprised of large, visually alluring pictures and a clean user interface. You can search for products through the website’s search engine, or browse by women’s or men’s products, fashion trends, or collections. ASOS also offers a marketplace where you can buy and sell pre-owned fashion wear. ASOS delivers worldwide, so yes, that includes Malaysia. And here’s even better news: if you accept the standard delivery option, shipping is free. If you need a quicker option, such as delivery within 5 days, then there is notable fee.

        leapingpost.com

Lazada: A popular Malaysian online shopping site, it was started by the same company that owns Zalora. Lazada sets itself apart by being the premier online destination for electronic goods in Malaysia.

Lazada focuses mainly on electronic goods, all the gadgets on offer are divided into specific categories like Mobiles & Tablets, Consumer Electronics, Cameras, Computers & Laptops, and so on. With all these great gadgets to choose from, you will hardly notice that their clothing section is quite limited.

        leapingpost.com

Apart from electronic gadgets, Lazada is also a great website if you’re looking for books, cosmetics, bags, and watches. You can find products from almost any well-known tech brand here: Apple, Samsung, BlackBerry, Canon, Sony, HTC, Nokia, and Lenovo are just a few of the brands available. They offer discounts on almost all their products – even on those that are brand new. For some products, Lazada offers discounts of over 80%! These can be found under their “Mega Deals” section. You can rest assured that all the products are original; they can also be returned within 14 days for a full refund. In addition to offering free shipping to all locations within Malaysia, Lazada is also one of the few online shopping websites in Malaysia that offers express delivery options to customers. All of their payment options are extremely secure.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Meanwhile, Zalora is a relatively new online store in Malaysia, but it has already become extremely popular with Malaysians. Although Zalora serves over seven countries, its shopping website for Malaysia is its most popular one. Zalora is fast becoming a household name in this country. The website is very easy to navigate, and has clear tabs for men’s, women’s and kids’ fashion. As an online retailer of clothes and shoes, Zalora offers many brands.

East Dane: A great online shopping site for men's fashion, offering over 125 designer brands and free shipping to Malaysia. It's also a subsidiary of Amazon.com.

East Dane was launched in 2013 as the brother site to Shopbop.com. The number of designer brands isn’t as large as Shopbop, but there is still a large selection, and it continues to grow. This is also a subsidiary of Amazon.com.  Also, the website offers free shipping to Malaysia!

"This Is A Temple To Pray" – Man Asks Public Not To Use Batu Caves As Place To Work Out

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

A temple-goer recently took to Facebook to vent his frustrations regarding the number of people he sees exercising at the stairs of Batu Caves in Selangor

The Facebook user said he visits the famous Sri Subramaniam temple dedicated to Hindu deity Lord Murugan every Sunday and has grown fed up with people jogging and hiking at the place of worship."I'm at the temple every Sunday morning and today I really cannot take it," he wrote last Sunday, 13 February, sharing photos of people in their exercise attire making their way up the limestone cave's famous 272 multi-coloured stairs alongside regular temple devotees."Hope everyone can keep in mind that this is a temple and not a place for everyone to do jogging and hiking," he said.

Image via Facebook

According to the devotee, the temple management has also tried to curb the issue but no change has yet to be seen

"I went to the counter next to the staircase steps and spoke to one of the ladies who was sitting at the counter. I asked her why are there people jogging here and no action has been taken. This is a temple," he said.In response, the management told him that they have already personally notified the many joggers and hikers against working out in the area, but everyone has still carried on.The Facebook user said he suggested for the temple to put up a signboard that will notify visitors against inconsiderate behaviour."Hope the management will do something for this. Don't forget that this is our temple and it is for us to pray!" he reiterated.

Image via Facebook

The Facebook post has since garnered over 2,500 shares, with netizens giving mixed opinions over the issue

Some supported the original poster's view and asked for respect for places of worship, while others said they have no problems with people using the temple stairs to exercise as it is a public space."Yes, I don't agree too. It's a place to pray, not a place to simply jog and lose weight. Find a proper place. Respect others," said a Facebook user.

Image via Facebook

A Twitter user questioned, "Is Malaysia that small? Are there really no other places to jog?"

Image via Twitter

"I'm a Hindu. I don't know of any God or scripture or holy law against running up and down the stairs of a temple. Did God specifically ban this? If yes, please show me where it is written by God," commented a netizen.

Image via Twitter

Another said, "I support if people want to use the stairs to exercise. They are using resources wisely for health benefits. They wear appropriate sports clothes and don't disturb the devotees. Don't be over-sensitive. Anyway, that cave belongs to everyone, not the temple authority alone."

In January, Batu Cave devotees were delighted to welcome a newborn girl in an emergency delivery at the holy site:

"Once again, Malaysians came together to help each other regardless of race and religion. It was a touching moment th...

[VIDEO] M'sian Grandma Slammed For Dancing & Shoving Her Granddaughter For Free Drinks

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

A video of a Malaysian grandmother dancing for free drinks recently went viral on Twitter

In the seven-second clip shared by user @AsyrafRosli_, the grandmother can be seen dancing wildly and enjoying the music in front of a food truck, believed to be in Penang.Meanwhile, her granddaughter struggles to stand next to her while she is busy performing her best dance moves and pushing the child.

Image via @AsyrafRosli_ (Twitter)

The woman continues to shove the child aggressively, indicating that she does not want to be disturbed while she is feeling her oats

The granddaughter then covers her face and looks down, appearing hurt by her grandmother's actions."Oh God, grandma, for the sake of free drinks, you're willing to push your own granddaughter like that. It's sad to see," said the tweet.

Image via @AsyrafRosli_ (Twitter)

Malaysians were outraged by the woman's actions and expressed their frustrations in the comments section

One user commented that the granddaughter seems to be covering her face because she was embarrassed by her grandmother's behaviour."But to the grandma, she doesn't care as long as she sells herself and gets those free drinks," said the user.

Image via @AsyrafRosli_ (Twitter)

Another person speculated that the grandmother probably wanted to be an idol growing up, but ended up being a tolol (an idiot) instead.

Image via @AsyrafRosli_ (Twitter)

"The grave said mari (come) grandma, not menari (dance)," commented another.

Image via @AsyrafRosli_ (Twitter)

One user joked that the grandmother would regret what she did once they are home, and she will suddenly complain about back pain to her granddaughter for sympathy points.

#PrayForCikguAzizan: Netizens Show Support For Teacher On Trial For Slapping A Student

The hashtag #PrayForCikguAzizan has been making its rounds on social media in response to a news about a teacher who has been charged for allegedly assaulting a student in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan

Image via Berita Harian

According to media reports, Cikgu Azizan (whose real name is Azizan Manap) is a teacher at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Taman Semarak in Nilai. He was said to have slapped a student and has been dragged to court for his action. Cikgu Azizan attended the first hearing of his court case on 31 October, and he has been charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which is punishable by a jail term of up to one year or with a RM,2000 fine or with both, upon conviction.

It was alleged that Cikgu Azizan had punished the student for his disciplinary problems

Education portal pendidik2u.my published a chronology of the case on its website, stating that Cikgu Azizan took stern actions against the boy in the case, who was caught for truancy and bullying cases. The boy also allegedly assaulted other students.It was also alleged that the boy was involved in glue-sniffing and influenced three other students to do the same.Pendidik2u.my has been on the forefront in campaigning support for Cikgu Azizan, urging teachers and the public to show up in solidarity at the Seremban Magistrate Court on 19 December at 8.30am for his trial. Those who cannot be present have been asked to use the hashtag #PrayForCikguAzizan to show their moral support.

The National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) has also urged teachers to to lend support for Cikgu Azizan who will be brought to court tomorrow, 19 December

Image via NUTP via pendidik2u.my

NUTP said in a statement signed by NUTP secretary-general, Henry Tan Huat Hock, that it will be providing legal support to defend Cikgu Azizan.Meanwhile, Berita Harian reported NUTP Negeri Sembilan chairman, Abu Hurairah as saying that more than 100 teachers were present when the charge documents were brought to the same court on 27 November, and 200 teachers are expected this time around. "I am very hopeful that this time more teachers will be present to support Cikgu Azizan. This support is very important in lifting up his spirits," he reportedly said.

It was also revealed that the SK Taman Semarak's Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) has expressed its worries that parents have resorted to taking legal action against teachers, who have to deal with difficult students

Image via pendidik2u.my

"The purpose of the teacher's action is to educate, the PTA is concerned that the attitude of some parents will cause disciplinary cases to become more severe and spread among SK Taman Semarak pupils as a result of fear and worry among teachers to help shape the children's discipline SK Taman Semerak following this incident," read the message on the Telegram app purportedly by the school's PTA president. It was said that the PTA will continue to lend its full support to Cikgu Azizan for the benefit of students and teachers at SK Taman Semarak.

Many netizens have since expressed their support for Cikgu Azizan and stressed that teachers should be empowered to educate and discipline children, adding that parents must also play their role

There were also conversations on the approach taken to discipline problematic students, as some opined that teachers should never resort to physical punishment

At Least 9 Killed After Gunmen Opened Fire At Mosques In New Zealand During Friday Prayers

Police in the New Zealand city of Christchurch are responding to a "serious and evolving situation" involving multiple shooters entering at least two mosques and opening fire during Friday prayers

"Police is responding to a very serious and tragic incident involving an active shooter in central Christchurch. One person is in custody, however, Police believe there may be other offenders... This is an evolving incident and we are working to confirm the facts," official Twitter handle of the New Zealand Police posted at 11.07am Malaysian time.

A witness says many people have been killed, a fact that has now been confirmed by the New Zealand Police on its Twitter account:

3/5 We urge New Zealanders to stay vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour immediately to 111. We are mobilising resources nationally and support is being brought into the District. We are still working to resolve this incident and we continue to urge Christchurch...— New Zealand Police (@nzpolice) March 15, 2019

According to Vox, citing a Radio New Zealand report, there have been two shooting incidents so far: one at the Al Noor Mosque next to Hagley Park, and another at the Linwood Mosque in the suburb of Linwood.Radio New Zealand reported an eyewitness inside the Al Noor Mosque saying that he saw at least four people lying on the ground and that "there was blood everywhere."News site Stuff reported that nine people have been confirmed dead so far.

According to Vox, one of the shooters live-streamed his attack on social media, gruesomely displaying how he entered the mosque and shot innocents. The clip has since been taken down.

Several witnesses from inside and outside the Masjid Al Noor mosque, where hundreds of people were attending services at the time of the shooting, described scenes of carnage and chaos

Stuff reported a man, who would not give his name, saying he was praying in the Deans Ave mosque when he heard the shooting start.He managed to escape but saw his wife lying dead on the footpath outside."My wife is dead," he said, wailing.Another man said he saw children being shot.Dozens of people were shot by a man wearing a military uniform, who emptied at least two magazines, said another man, adding: "There were bodies all over me."

The gunman was wearing a military-style jacket and a helmet

"He had a big gun and a lot of bullets and he came through and started shooting like everyone in the mosque, like everywhere."And they have to smash the door and the glass from the window and from the small door to try and get out," a witness was quoted saying by The Daily Beast."At first we thought it was an electric shock but then all these people started running," he said. I still have friends inside. I have been calling my friends but there are many I haven't heard from. I am scared for my friends lives," the witness, Mohan Ibrahim, added.

Gunshots have been heard near the Christchurch Mosque on Deans Ave.

Meanwhile, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said "there is no place in New Zealand" for this kind of violence

Jacinda noted that the country is home to the people who were targeted at the mosques, adding that the incident was "one of New Zealand's darkest days"."Whilst I cannot give any confirmation at this stage around fatalities and casualties, what I can say is that it is clear that this is one of New Zealand’s darkest days. Clearly, what has happened here is an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence."Many of those who will have been directly affected by this shooting may be migrants to New Zealand, they may even be refugees here. They have chosen to make New Zealand their home, and it is their home. They are us. The person who has perpetuated this violence against us is not. They have no place in New Zealand. There is no place in New Zealand for such acts of extreme and unprecedented violence, which it is clear this act was."For now, my thoughts, and I’m sure the thoughts of all New Zealanders, are with those who have been affected, and also with their families. My thoughts also to those in Christchurch, who are still dealing with an unfolding situation," the New Zealand Prime Minister's statement, according to The Guardian.

And @heungjacky @andrewgray you have been challenged.  #justABitThirsty #noSingleUsePlastic #JustHaveFun #beEnvironmentallyConscious @jasonstatham @cungle185 @mikemoh #bottlecapchallenge @ecodrivehk A post shared by  Selena Lee  (@selenaleelalee) on Jul 2, 2019 at 6:29am PDT

The aim of the challenge is to unscrew the bottle cap without using your hands

Participants place a bottle on an elevated solid surface with the cap loosely twisted shut. They then have to do a spinning back hook kick aimed at the bottle cap, as a means of unscrewing it.Easier said than done, as many have ended up kicking over the bottle.

The spinning back hook kick is a popular Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) move so it's no surprise that the challenge started with martial artist Farabi Davletchin

CCTV Shows Shopkeepers Using Sofa And TV Cabinet To Fight Off Parang-Wielding Robbers

A three-minute video showing two parang-wielding robbers breaking into a furniture shop has gone viral

Image via Facebook

The viral video was shared over 1,600 times on Facebook at the time of writing.

The robbers rode to the front of the shop in a motorcycle and charged to the front door

Image via Facebook

Fortunately, a male shopkeeper was there in time to hold back the glass door. But he could not win against the two men in the game of tug-of-war.

He then pulled a two-seater sofa behind him to block the door and even picked up a side table to shove it at the incoming robbers

A female shopkeeper stepped in to help too, but both of the victims quickly backed off once the robbers walked past the door.In self-defence, the male shopkeeper picked up a TV cabinet, rather effortlessly, and dropped it on an approaching robber.

Image via Facebook

Even that did not stop the robbers as they continued charging in while brandishing machetes in their hands

The robbery was captured in full view as there were multiple cameras around the furniture shop. The timestamp of the CCTV indicated that the incident happened on 14 September, at about 1.55pm.

Image via Facebook

This frightening robbery was eventually picked up by Chinese news site Kwong Wah but it was not reported where the incident happened.The Chinese daily wrote that both of the shopkeepers were unhurt in the incident after offering all the valuables in the shop for the robbers to take.Many netizens tagged the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in the comments, urging action against the robbers."It's straight up like a lawless state," a netizen chastised. Another added, "Hope government polis must catch the robber and send them to prison jail must punishment and canning stroke. (sic)"

Minister Anifah Slams Huffington Post For Article Defaming MH370 Pilot Captain Zaharie

Foreign Affairs Minister Anifah Aman has slammed a Huffington Post UK article which claims that 'pilot Zaharie Shah committed suicide & killed everyone else on Malaysia Airlines flight'

Malaysian Foreign Affairs Minister Anifah Aman on Saturday slammed an article claiming that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370's pilot, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, caused the aircraft to disappear when he committed suicide.

        firstpost.com

The 16 September article quoted a Birmingham Mail report citing claims made by Kiwi Airlines founder and New Zealand air accident investigator Ewan Wilson

Image via huffpost.com

Wilson had claimed that it was likely Zaharie was mentally ill, and that he had killed everyone on the flight when he committed suicide on March 8. He had authored a book on MH370 titled 'Good Night Malaysian 370: The Truth Behind The Loss Of Flight 370', alleging there had been five previous incidents of “murder/suicide” in the aviation industry over the last 30 years.

        thestar.com.my

Responding in a press release on Saturday, Anifah said he was surprised and disappointed that a news portal like Huffington Post UK could publish unproven claims

Image via wordpress.com

He added that Wilson’s theory regarding Zaharie’s mental state was baseless and would only create more anxiety and trauma for the family and friends of the deceased. "No thought or consideration is given to the victims’ loved ones as they await news of the missing plane and the circumstances under which it came to grief," said Anifah.

        firstpost.com

Wilson claimed in his book that Captain Zaharie killed passengers by cutting off the oxygen supply in the plane before deliberately ditching MH370 in the Indian Ocean

Wilson wrote a book on MH370 titled Good Night Malaysian 370: The Truth Behind The Loss Of Flight 370, alleging there has been five previous incidents of murder/suicide in the aviation industry over the last 30 years. Wilson claimed in his book that Zaharie had killed the passengers by cutting off the oxygen supply in the plane before deliberately ditching the Boeing 777 in the Indian Ocean.

Anifah added that Wilson's theory regarding Zaharie's mental state was baseless and would only create more anxiety and trauma for the family and friends of the deceased

"No thought or consideration is given to the victims' loved ones as they await news of the missing plane," Anifah said. He added that it was disappointing that the Huffington Post had deemed fit to publish the article, without considering the feelings of those affected.

        firstpost.com

53-year-old Zaharie had been a staple in media speculation after evidence emerged that suggested MH370 was deliberately diverted off course shortly before vanishing

Zaharie, 53, became a staple in media speculation after evidence emerged that MH370 was deliberately diverted off course shortly before vanishing. Zaharie became a captain in the early 1990s and had 33 years and 18,360 hours of flying experience under his belt.

        thestar.com.my

His colleagues described him as a jovial but professional "aviation geek" who collects remote controlled miniature aircraft, light twin engine helicopters and amphibious aircraft. Outside of aviation, he also ran a YouTube channel dedicated to DIY projects, where he teaches viewers how to fix home appliances like air-conditioners.

Selangor Govt: Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve Will Be Re-Gazetted

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

The Selangor government has announced that it will no longer go ahead with its controversial plan to develop the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve (KLNFR) amidst widespread criticism from the public

The state government will now instead begin the process of re-gazetting the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve, according to a statement released by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari."The state government will stop its plan to develop the area and will cancel the move to give ownership of the land to the company involved. We would like to emphasise that all previous de-gazettement processes have followed all procedures and procedures stated in accordance with the law," Amirudin said.The decision was taken today, 8 September, during the state executive council meeting.Assuring that the state government will stop the proposed development plan, Amirudin said that they will begin the process of "re-gazetting" the Kuala Langat Utara Forest Reserve."At the same time, 581.1 hectares of forest land that was initially supposed to replace the degazetted (KLNFR), in Sg Panjang, Ampang Pecah and Bukit Broga, will remain as a permanent forest reserve."

Only 104 acres out of a total of 1,326 acres of the KLNFR will remain degazetted to complete the land ownership to Busut Baru Orang Asli village to resolve issues that have been pending since 2006

Amirudin stated that they were relocated from their original settlement in 1994 for the purpose of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) construction.He also said that the state government will consider "a small portion of the area" will remain unoccupied for the purpose of consideration of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) alignment.The statement stressed that the Selangor government is based on the principle of accountability.Therefore, it will write to the state speaker to convene a meeting of the Select Committee on Capability, Accountability, and Transparency (SELCAT) to answer any issues regarding the previous gazettement.

Prior to this, Amirudin had promised to postpone the controversial decision to degazette 536.7 hectares of the KLNFR:

People Are Sharing This Old Video Of Dr Adham Baba Singing Raya Lyrics To Despacito

An old video of Health Minister Dr Adham Baba singing to the tune of Despacito has recently resurfaced

Image via UniKL Official

Originally uploaded by UniKL Official on YouTube, the video features Dr Adham Baba, Malaysian singer Sufian Suhaimi, as well as a rapper named Mattou, singing to Luis Fonsi's famous tune.

However, instead of the song's original Spanish lyrics, their version revolved around Hari Raya festivities and they sang about balik kampung, giving out duit raya, and visiting family members and loved ones.

Last month, many people speculated that Dr Adham Baba recorded the song amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (KKMM) issued a statement to put an end to the rumours.

Image via UniKL Official/YouTube

On Friday, 3 April, KKMM released an official announcement of fake news.Citing the Ministry of Health (MOH), it read, "MOH denies allegations claiming that Health Minister Dr Adham Baba made a recording of a Hari Raya song while the country is facing the COVID-19 pandemic."

Image via KKMM

When the video was produced in 2017, Dr Adham Baba was not in charge of the cabinet portfolio for MOH

Image via Shafwan Zaidon

However, at the time, he was appointed as UniKL chairman which explains his involvement in the music video.On 21 May, Dr Adham Baba told Malaysiakini, "That is an old song, it was 2017. I sang Despacito with Sufian Suhaimi for my constituency, Tenggara.""People just gladly brought it up, I did not even make a new song," he added.
