This Huge Cuddly Snorlax Is The Only Thing Your Home Needs Right Now

Ever since Pokémon GO was launched in Malaysia earlier this month, Malaysians can’t take their eyes off the game

Image via SAYS

Why wouldn't we be? Not only is the game fun, but we're also reminded of how Pokémon are all extremely cute!

Image via Tumblr

So when we stumbled upon this super huge Snorlax cushion, we fell in love with it immediately

Image via Premium Bandai

Premium Bandai, an online retailer by Japan's leading general toy manufacturer Bandai, began taking pre-orders for this massive Snorlax cushion in February, way before the Pokémon GO game was launched. Standing at 1.5m tall and 1.3m long, this cushion looks like the perfect companion for everyone after a long day.  It's quite heavy - about 12kg, to be exact - but significantly lighter than its 460-kg in-game counterpart.

However, this cushion of your dreams would cost 52,000 Japanese Yen, which amounts to more than RM2,000!

We still want it though, if we could afford it. :(
Image via Premium Bandai

Apparently, someone already bought one, and we're green with envy!

Image via 新假期JetSo

ThinkGeek, an online retailer based in the US catering to niche interest groups, has also come up with a Snorlax beanbag

Image via ThinkGeek

The Pokémon Snorlax Bean Bag Chair is being marketed as an officially-licensed Pokémon merchandise and a ThinkGeek creation and exclusive.  ThinkGeek's Snorlax Bean Bag is slightly smaller than Premium Bandai's Snorlax cushion as it's only 1.2m tall and 0.6, long. However, it's significantly cheaper too, though some may argue it's still a little on the expensive side, going at USD149.99 (RM564.00). But as people say it, comfort costs money and this bean bag looks incredibly comfy. As ThinkGeek puts it, you could "snore more with this Snorlax".

Would you get one of these for yourself? Let us know in the comments section below!

Not too long ago, Malaysia's first ever Pokémon GO Master caught a 'Snorlax' in his office:

Don’t Park Your Car Illegally In These Areas, Nanti Kena Clamped By DBKL

DBKL announced today, 22 August, that cars illegally parked in KL will be clamped starting 1 September

How much would you need to pay to release your car? Car owners will have to pay RM50 in person, within the first 4 hours from when the car was clamped.
If you fail to do so, you’d have to pay another RM100 to release your car if it has already been towed away.

"This implementation is based on studies and scrutiny by DBKL’s Pemudah which found the irresponsible attitude of users who parked their cars illegally to be one of the main causes of traffic congestion," KL Mayor Datuk Seri Mhd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz said to Bernama. Pasukan Petugas Khas Pemudahcara Perniagaan (PEMUDAH) is a task force that aims to facilitate business and address bureaucracy business-government dealings.

Here are the roads in KL that will fall under DBKL’s new clamping regulations:

			Jalan Masjid India- Jalan Tun Sambanthan in Brickfields- Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz- Jalan Bulan- Jalan Changkat Bukit Bintang- Jalan Chow Kit- Jalan Kenanga- Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman- Jalan Solaris Mont Kiara- Jalan Klang Lama

Over the past seven months since January this year, DBKL has issued a whopping 746,185 compound fines according to the mayor of KL

Of that figure, over 30% were on cars that had no parking tickets, while another 4,857 vehicles were towed away for parking offences.The KL mayor previously said DBKL has to take serious action as some 50,000 new cars are registered in Kuala Lumpur every month, clogging up the roads and causing gridlock in the city, especially within the central business districts and popular hangout spots like Bukit Bintang, Bukit Damansara, Sri Hartamas, Desa Hartamas, Solaris Mont Kiara, Taman Tun Dr Ismail and Bangsar.The new regulation is enforceable under the Road Transport Act 1987 and Road Transport Order (Provision on Car Parks) Federal Territories 2016.

Tan Sri Couple Who Allegedly Abused 3 Indonesian Maids Pleads Not Guilty

Tan Sri Kenneth Eswaran, whose maids ran away after being allegedly abused, pleaded not guilty earlier today, 12 April

The ex-president of the Malaysian Associated Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MAICCI) was present at the Klang Sessions Court with his wife, Puan Sri Vivienne Ketheeswaran. Free Malaysia Today reported that the couple was charged with three counts of exploitation and forced labour under Section 12 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007.

Kenneth and his wife were accused of abusing their three Indonesian maids over the last six years

According to Kosmo, the offence was purportedly committed in Country Heights, Kajang between October 2012 and March 2019. The victims, aged between 25 and 41, eventually escaped the couple's home to the Indonesian embassy while they were abroad. The women have since been sent to a safe house following an interim protection order granted by the court.

If convicted, Kenneth and Vivienne face up to 15 years in jail

The couple could also be fined up to RM500,000 for the offence. According to Free Malaysia Today, judge Roszianayati Ahmad ordered their passports to be surrendered to the court and set bail at RM50,000 with one surety for each of them.

The couple's maids ran way from their home in Kajang last month after alleged abuse. Read more about it here:

"Are You Proud Of This?" – M'sian Sushi Restaurant Slammed For 'Slanted-Eye' Racism In Ad

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

Nippon Sushi, a halal Malaysian sushi restaurant franchise, recently recruited a local TikTok influencer to do a skit to promote their Penang outlet. The move, however, has been deemed insensitive and offensive.

The one-minute-four-second video starts with the TikToker reading a comment  in Japanese, asking him if he has ever tried Japanese food before. To which he responds by saying ware wa toshiba ike ike daikon (random Japanese words).He then went to a Nippon Sushi branch in Penang, entered the restaurant, and greeted the cashier before looking around the restaurant for something. There, he spotted two men eating sushi and approached them, asking if the sushi was good.To which one of them responded with, "Oshii".

Image via @nipponsushi_my (Twitter)

The frame quickly cuts to the TikToker's face with his eyes pulled back with tape on each side as he grunts

He was then shown to be struggling with using chopsticks to eat sushi and acted dissatisfied and slammed the table, albeit softly, using his fists.The TikToker then gave up on the chopsticks and picked up a piece of sushi and shoved it in his mouth before giving a grunt of approval.The video ends with a few shots of sushi from Nippon Sushi that are meant to look delectable.

Image via @nipponsushi_my (Twitter)

Aside from the TikToker's account, the video was also posted on Nippon Sushi Malaysia's social media platforms

Following the backlash, however, the video has been deleted.The TikToker in question is from Malaysia and currently has one million followers on the app.

Image via googleapis.com

The comments under the video on Nippon Sushi's Instagram and Twitter posts showed that people were unhappy and disappointed with the company's way of advertising

Many netizens called out Nippon Sushi for being racist and insensitive. Many also went on to say that they would never visit their restaurants ever again."So stupid, as if they don't even live in this more and more progressive and inclusive world. I went [to Nippon Sushi] last week for the first time. It looks like we're never returning to your ridiculously tone-deaf team of people. May you not prosper in your foolishness and ignorance," a netizen replied.

Image via Instagram

Other than the wave of angry responses and calls for a boycott, some also pointed out the audacity of the actors in the video to use the Japanese language incorrectly."I mean are the slanted eyes really necessary? It's racist. And why even use Ike Ike? It doesn't even fit the context of serving food. You can actually use Iraisshaimase for a greeting when he comes into the store. I'm sure you know it since you're serving Japanese food," one user wrote.One user even pointed out that the word Oshii said by one of the actors in the video, actually meant 'regrettable' and that the correct word should be Oishii."Did you guys [Nippon Sushi Team] do a roundtable meeting to discuss what ware wa toshiba ike ike daikon (random Japanese words) actually means? I am seriously suffering second-hand embarrassment from this influencer's content.

Image via Twitter

When contacted by SAYS, Siti Noraini, the owner of Nippon Sushi, issued a statement on the controversial video and took full responsibility

In the statement, Nippon Sushi said that they have taken note of the backlash and how the content used is unsuitable for a multicultural community and their corporate brand."I, Siti Noraini, as the owner of Nippon Sushi, take full responsibility for every mistake and error we have made in regards to the video. Nippon Sushi had no intention of making fun of any religion or race in the video production," read the statement."Social media is Nippon Sushi's main marketing platform to promote our foods and brand. We have collaborated with many individuals and influencers on Facebook and Instagram throughout the four years of our business.""This was our first attempt [to promote] via TikTok and our excitement has led us to overlook the issue that has arisen. We admit to our weaknesses and take every comment by netizens and customers seriously," the statement continued.


JPJ Reminds Road Users That Even Motorcyclists Are Not Allowed To Use The Emergency Lane

Recently, comments from a netizen regarding the use of emergency lane have gone viral on social media

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS Facebook

Screenshots of two Facebook comments by an individual who said that the emergency lane is not exclusive to motorcyclists and allegedly supported for vehicles such as cars to use the emergency lane have been circulating on social media in the last few days.  "Itu lorong kecemasan, bukan lorong motosikal. Motor tak ada hak nak marah kereta," read the first comment. (That's an emergency lane, not a motorcycle lane. Motorcyclists do not have the right to get mad at car drivers.)  In the second comment, the man said, "Tak muncul lagi signboard (papan tanda) dilarang melalui lorong kecemasan." (There is no signboard that indicates that the usage of emergency lanes is being banned.) mStar reported that comments are believed to have links with a video on social media that depicts a car using the emergency lane and almost hit on a motorcyclist that was riding on the same lane.

The comments have since started conversations on whether motorcyclists are "entitled" to use the emergency lane

Quite a number of netizens have claimed that they are motorcyclists who have been using the emergency lane and that the "police did not issue any summons or stop them" from using it when riding on a motorcycle."Motorcycles are given leeway. Those of you who drive a car, do not simply comment," one of the comments read.Several people also questioned which lane motorcyclists could use if they are not allowed to use the emergency lane.  They argued that motorcycles could easily give way to the ambulance or police in the event of emergency but cars would not be able to do that, especially when there is a traffic congestion.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has since clarified that the emergency lane cannot be occupied even by motorcycles

In a report by mStar yesterday, 5 September, its deputy director-general (management) Datuk Wan Ahmad Uzir Wan Sulaiman has stressed that the emergency lanes are only meant to be used by the authorities in the event of an emergency.In line with this, the restriction is also imposed on motorcyclists. "Any vehicle including motorcycles is not allowed to use the emergency lane," he was quoted as saying.

Wan Ahmad Uzir also reminded the public that traffic offenders could be penalised

Driving on the emergency lane is an offence under Rule 53 (1) of the Road Traffic Rules 1959.According to Wan Ahmad Uzir, road users who are found to have used the emergency lane can be charged in the court under the Road Transport Act 1987."Those who are convicted could face a maximum fine of RM2,000 or imprisonment of up to six months, or both," he told mStar.

JAINJ stated that it called Illi Najwa along with her mother and several other witnesses for its investigation and their statements were taken

"The result of the investigation found that Illi Najwa never left Islam. In fact, today, she also came with us to meet the Sultan," Yahya was quoted as saying by the Royal Press Office (RPO).According to RPO, in December last year, the Johor Sultan ordered JAINJ and the Johor Mufti Department to investigate the current religious status of the woman who reportedly married Manpreet Singh.Malay Mail reported that Sultan Ibrahim had advised the public to avoid jumping to conclusions as Illi Najwa, who is the niece of Halimah Mohamed Sadique, who is the Minister of National Unity in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration had not declared that she wishes to leave Islam.

Azalina Says The New Govt Should Offer Deputy Speaker Post To Someone From Opposition

UMNO's Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said believes that if the new administration is serious about reforms and bipartisanship, it should offer the Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker post to the Opposition

The former deputy speaker emphasised that the motion to do so must be by the government.The Pengerang member of Parliament (MP) recently resigned from the post, citing a lack of impartiality.Azalina was sharing her thoughts about the suspension of Parliament and the recent developments that show the fall of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration during a forum on parliamentary reform.The forum, which was streamed live on Facebook earlier today, 26 August, was moderated by professor Wong Chin Huat of the Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia.

Image via Azalina Othman Said  (Facebook)

According to Azalina, this is the best opportunity for newly-minted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakon to get the ball rolling

She was asked about what the government and opposition could do to promote greater cooperation, to which the UMNO politician replied that it's "so obvious, la bro"."It (the deputy speaker post) should be replaced by an opposition member. But the motion must be by the government," she said, explaining that if the opposition brings the motion then there will be fights."It's the best opportunity for the Prime Minister to offer that post as a gesture, to start the ball rolling because the reforms will take time and it's not going to be a one-day sitting and we will be done."Azalina believes that an opposition member being appointed to the post of deputy speaker is something that is achievable but only if the government is the one that brings the motion."If the government does that, and it is supported unanimously, for example, I think it would be fantastic for Malaysia's parliamentary history because we are showing that gesture that we want Parliament to be a professional platform," the Pengerang MP shared during the forum.

The ruling coalition MP's suggestion comes after opposition MP Hannah Yeoh urged for Azalina to be given the Ministry of Home Affairs:

                DAP's Yeoh Calls For UMNO's Azalina To Be Given KDN Post In A Rare Show Of Bipartisanship

According to Hannah Yeoh, the Ministry of Home Affairs should be held by a woman as it has always been given to power...

"I'm Craving To Ride A Perodua Ativa" – Kedah Woman's Pregnancy 'Craving' Amuses Netizens

Every mother goes through nine months of hormonal changes (and personal hell) to bring us into the world, and that includes having peculiar food cravings at midnight.
Wanting bihun goreng or a can of soda at 3am is not unheard of.

Pregnancy cravings can begin in the first trimester, peak in the second trimester, and decline in the third trimester. Most cravings are associated with sweet or sour food, although it can vary depending on cultural and psychosocial aspects.

Image via Mamamia

With that said, a local woman's pregnancy craving turned out to be neither food nor drinks.
Instead, it is to ride a white Perodua Ativa.

Yes, particularly white.In a tweet published yesterday, 24 January, TV3 senior producer and presenter Fedtri Yahya shared that a woman from Kedah had asked for a ride in the compact sport utility vehicle (SUV). "I am a mother who is 10-week pregnant. Can you ask your followers whether they have a white Ativa?" read the message."I'm craving to ride a white Ativa. (I live in) Kedah area."

Image via @fedtriyahya (Twitter)

Speaking to SAYS, Fedtri said he receives hundreds of requests from his followers every day because of a television programme he hosts

"I receive a lot of messages from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I pick the requests randomly," he said."I posted (this request) on an Instagram Story and many netizens made fun of the craving submitted.""But I understand the craving because I am a father and a husband to a wife who has gone through pregnancy four times."After he posted the pregnant woman's 'craving' on Instagram, a follower said they wanted to help.Thus, Fedtri connected the white Ativa driver with the pregnant woman, and the two parties met.The woman is said to live in a remote area in Kedah.

Image via @fedtriyahya (Twitter)

The pregnant woman was elated to have her 'craving' satisfied and thanked Fedtri for the arrangement

"Thank you for sharing my DM. Today, 22 January, Allah helped me to get a ride in a white Ativa," she said.At the time of writing, Fedtri's tweet has garnered over 9,400 likes and 3,800 retweets.

Simple thing pic.twitter.com/ZWvkDX3w3k— Fedtri Yahya (@fedtriyahya) January 23, 2022

In the replies, many netizens were bewildered by the pregnant woman's strange 'craving', while some shared even more peculiar pregnancy cravings that they have encountered

"Alhamdulillah, her 'craving' can be found and it's easy to get. I read a post on Facebook about a husband complaining about his wife because she wanted to lick his friend's bald head," wrote a Twitter user."I once read that a woman wanted to ride an unidentified flying object (UFO) at three in the morning. The husband went out and never came back until now," said another person, perhaps tongue-in-cheek."I read this once. There was a case of craving to eat tyres. She went to a shop and the Chinese boss was kind and understanding. He told all the staff to come out and let the pregnant mother bite the tyres until she was satisfied. It was weird but true," added a netizen.

A survey found that Malaysian men ranked ninth among countries with the smallest penises

According to online pharmacy FromMars' analysis, the ranking of countries with their respective penis length averages landed Malaysia the ninth spot on the list of smallest penises worldwide, one rank above Singapore.The analysis is based on research found through the World Population Review to determine the average lengths of penises, and took into consideration the search volume of penis-length related searches on Google Keyword Planner.However, it's worth mentioning that the data relied on self-reporting and therefore, all figures should be taken with a pinch of salt. Malaysia averaged an erected length of 11.49cm with a height percentage of 6.82%.

Fun fact: The country with the biggest penis length average is Ecuador

Ecuador averaged an erected length of 17.61cm with a height percentage of 10.54%, earning it the first spot among countries with the world's biggest penises.Cameroon comes in a close second and is followed by Bolivia, Sudan, and Haiti.

Among the countries ranked below Malaysia include Thailand, Philippines, Bangladesh, and Cambodia.The survey on the 87 nations also assisted in forming a figure for the worldwide average for men.The global average penis size for men is 14.10cm.

It's not the size of the boat that matters, it's the motion of the ocean!

Video Shows The Struggle Pedestrians Have To Endure To Get To MRT Station In PJ

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

A TikToker recently shared the struggles daily commuters have to face while walking to the Surian MRT station in Petaling Jaya

TikTok user @anaszack9 made a video of his everyday 10-minute journey walking from Palm String @ Damansara condominium to the MRT station.In the one-minute-and-49-second TikTok, he said the purpose of the video was to show how unsafe the walkways were to the station.

  @anaszack9 The challenge of being a non-car commuter in Malaysia  #foryou #foryoupage #fyp #publictransport   original sound - Anaszack - Anaszack

After he walks past a short paved walkway, that is where his struggle as a pedestrian starts to unfold:

1. There's an unsafe slope leading up to the walkway on the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE)

The TikToker shows that there is no proper walkway or light around the area, adding that it is scary to walk up the path on a rainy day.He has also lost count of how many times he has injured himself walking there.He added that the curbside by NKVE is also not an official walkway as it is too close to the hectic main road.The TikToker said that irresponsible motorists would also sometimes use the path as a shortcut to avoid traffic jams.

2. Crossing a junction with cars coming out from the mall

The TikToker voiced out his concern that certain drivers were not considerate enough to give priority to pedestrians to cross the road.

3. Walking down this small walkway by the main road

The TikToker called it the "catwalk" and highlighted once again how there are no proper walkways along his journey to the MRT station.He added that pedestrians often have no other option but to settle with the poor infrastructure provided by the government.

4. Crossing yet another busy junction

In the video, it can be seen that pedestrians often have to cross the hectic road with no proper zebra crossing to get to the station.

5. Another small and narrow walkway

The TikTok user showed the small curb that pedestrians have to balance on and pointed out that there was also a pothole on the tiny walkway, where people could easily get injured.

Image via @anaszack9 (TikTok)

After showing the five challenges, the TikToker said there was finally a safe path for pedestrians to walk, but only around the MRT station itself

He then shared that he did not mind that it would take time for him to arrive at the station, but he would much prefer a safer path to get there.He also hoped that authorities would take action before any pedestrians who use these facilities get hurt.

[VIDEOS] Malaysians' Hilarious Dancing Funeral Parodies Are A Must-Watch During The MCO

As the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, there is another "viral contagion" infecting the minds of people through the Internet, resulting in uncontrollable laughter

We are talking about none other than the dancing funeral meme, based on the original video that has now been dubbed the "coffin dance crew".Much like the 'Directed by Robert B Weide' meme, the new Internet comic relief typically starts with a clip of people engaging in a silly or dangerous activity before cutting to footage of six pallbearers carrying a coffin on their shoulders as they dance to a funky EDM - signifying that the people shown in the clip have died.

Image via BBC News Africa/YouTube

The meme has transcended from its original format. And now, people on the Internet are creating unimaginable versions of the meme.

Image via Facebook

Whether it is a subtle photo showing a container sitting on top of four boxes of Darlie toothpaste, an Instagram filter, or a mechanical music box, people around the world clearly have too much time on their hands.In Brazil, people even put up the pallbearers' faces on a billboard that reads "Stay home or dance with us".

Chale your people catch Brasil oo. “Stay Home Or Dance With Us”  pic.twitter.com/VgPWUsc1VS— 2pee (@_2pee) April 14, 2020

You can download and try the Instagram filter made by @paulostoker here.

Malaysians are no different

Among all the great varients of the meme out there, two videos particularly stood out because these Malaysians actually took the time make a complete parody video.The first one comes from a professional funeral parlour in Kedah, Kwang Heng Coffin Maker.The parody shows six pallbearers in uniform dancing in sync while carrying a coffin.According to China Press, the funeral parlour employer, Madam Xie, said the video is meant to entertain Malaysians and encourage them to #JustStayAtHome. You can watch the video here:

Another parody is made by a video producer at 75insanity. The video tells the story of a Malaysian living under the MCO. Whenever he fails to adhere to the social distancing measure or practise good hygiene, he will start hearing the tune of the meme.You can watch the video here:

So what is the origin of the meme? Who are the funeral dancers?

Image via BBC News Africa/YouTube

The original footage of the meme came from a BBC news segment published on YouTube in July 2017."Pallbearers are lifting the mood at funerals in Ghana with flamboyant coffin-carrying dances," reported BBC News Africa."Families are increasingly paying for their services to send their loved ones off in style."However, you would be mistaken to believe that this is a tradition widely practised in the West African nation - and neither is EDM music Astronomia by Tony Igy played during the funeral.

The founder of the group, Benjamin Aidoo, told BBC that he always lets his clients decide how they want to send off their loved ones, whether it is a "solemn" ceremony or one with "a bit more of a display".After the meme became an Internet sensation, Aidoo received calls from all parts of the world, reported Ghanaian news portal Pulse.In light of that and the coronavirus pandemic, they have decided to increase their price to USD3,000 (RM13,000) for jobs outside of Ghana, excluding the cost of transportation, food, and accommodation.According to Aidoo, the group has created employment for many locals.

A 13-Year-Old Student In Sarawak Was Poisoned By His Own Classmate

A Form 1 student was arrested today, 21 July, for poisoning his classmate with cockroach poison in Sri Aman, Sarawak

New Straits Times (NST) reported that the authorities believe that the culprit had poisoned the victim by lacing his food with cockroach poison. "Initial investigations showed the suspect had brought a container of fried noodle and a box of roach poison to the school."He then offered the food to the victim who then ate it. A few minutes later, the victim started vomiting," read the report by NST.The incident happened on Thursday, 20 July, at a secondary school in Sri Aman.

A school teacher was alerted of the incident before the 13-year-old victim was rushed to the Sri Aman Hospital for treatment

The victim who is from Pantu, a small district in Sri Aman, Sarawak, is still receiving treatment at the hospital, according to a report by The Star.Sarawak Criminal Investigations Department chief Datuk Dev Kumar explained that the 13-year-old suspect had panicked after his classmate started vomiting, and had passed the poison to one of his classmates, who informed their teacher about the incident.

The suspect has been arrested by the authorities to assist in the investigations, after a police report was lodged by the victim's 49-year-old father at the Sri Aman police station

Dev also said that they've seized a box of roach poison for further investigations after they arrested the boy at his house at 2.30am today, 21 July.  NST reported that the authorities believe that the incident could have been a prank gone wrong. "The motive of the incident is still being investigated by the police," said Dev, as reported by NST.It was reported that the suspect will be released on bail as the boy is a minor.The case is being investigated under Section 328 of the Penal Code for causing hurt by means of poison.

Australia Refuses Entry To 20 Malaysians Each Week Because Of Tourist Visa Abuse

A report recently revealed that at least 20 Malaysians are refused entry into Australia each week

ABC News reported on Wednesday, 3 July, that Australian Border Force officials are cancelling the electronic visitor visas of at least 20 Malaysians each week before they even clear immigration due to an "orchestrated scam" to gain access to the country.1,779 Malaysians have had their visas cancelled between the period of July 2017 to February 2019.Malaysians represent almost one third of all removals, despite making up fewer than one in 20 tourists to Australia.

Upon entering Australia with a valid visa, Malaysians then apply for a 'refugee' status which allows them to extend their stay for years

Australia's Minister for Multicultural Affairs Jason Wood.

"This represents an orchestrated scam that provides protection visa applicants the right to work in Australia until their claims are finalised," said Australia's Minister for Multicultural Affairs Jason Wood in the ABC News report.Over 9,300 Malaysians have lodged protection visa applications from within Australia last year alone.

A protection visa would allow a person to legally live, work, and study in Australia, granted that they arrived with a valid visa and they fulfil other requirements.For Malaysians whose claims are rejected, they can file for an appeal - which still allows them to stay in Australia with full work rights.

One such Malaysian, who has taken advantage of the system, revealed that it can be done for as little as AUD100 (approximately RM290)

Nazuan Apis arrived in Australia on a three-month online tourist visa and sought farm work to earn extra income, reported Daily Mail.A Malaysian work agent had approached him and offered to help him apply for a protection visa for only AUD100 (approximately RM290).Nazuan and his 15 hoursemates applied for protection visas. He went on to live and work there for more than a year before returning to Malaysia.


Free School Breakfast Only For Students In Need, Says Tun M

The free breakfast programme in primary schools will still continue.
However, it will only be provided for needy students, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today, 16 January.

In a report by The Malaysian Insight, Dr Mahathir, who is also the acting Education Minister, said that giving free breakfast to all students would be unfair as the rich would also benefit from it. “Giving breakfast to all means that those who have money, who are rich, who eat at home, get it too. That's not fair," the Prime Minster was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today."We continue with what we have first. And provide for those who deserve it," he added.

This is in response to questions regarding whether the free breakfast programme would continue after former Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik resigned from the post on 3 January 2020

Previously, Dr Maszlee announced in a Facebook post on 26 August 2019 that primary school students across Malaysia will have free breakfast meals every morning beginning January 2020.The initial plan was to run the programme, called 'Program Sarapan Percuma' (PSP), in all primary schools, benefiting 2.7 million students across Malaysia.However, The Malaysian Insight reported that the Finance Ministry did not have the RM1.67 billion required to carry it out in all the schools.

Instead, the programme, which is set to launch later this month, will only be rolled out in 100 schools at a cost of RM22 million

According to The Malaysian Insight, PSP will be launched on 20 January 2020. It is set to benefit 37,000 students, majority of whom are from the lower household income group (B40).The programme will be using the grab-and-go concept and will include nutritious dairy products, drinks, and snacks such as bread, cereal, biscuits, kuih, sandwiches, and fruit or hard boiled eggs.

How Easy It Was For Mashable To Hack Into Mark Zuckerberg's Private Friend List

Facebook users think that when they set their Friend List privacy to "Only Me," it means that they are the only ones who can see it. However, there's a loophole and anyone can take advantage of it.

You can set your Facebook friends list visibility to Only Me although others can still see your mutual connections.
Image via mshcdn.com

The loophole comes in the shape of Facebook's mutual friends feature. Any user can see the mutual friends between any two other users, so long as one of them has a publicly available friends list. So if you keep your friends list private, but your best friend doesn't, a third party could compare your two lists, and voilà — they'd be able to see all the friends the two of you have in common.

        mashable.com

This feature has been in place at Facebook for some time but Facebook doesn't see it as a problem, and warns users that the privacy of their Friend List is actually dependent on the privacy settings of their connections

Facebook alerts users of this on the friend list privacy settings screen, but you may not notice unless you pay special attention. The warning reads: Remember: Your friends control who can see their friendships on their own timelines. If people can see your friendship on another timeline, they'll be able to see it in news feed, search and other places on Facebook. They'll also be able to see mutual friends on your timeline.

        netforlawyers.com

So, to show how much of a problem this loophole can be, CyberInt, an online security group, built a program intended to exploit the feature and reconstruct private Friend List of - Mark Zuckerberg

CyberInt, a group focused on information security and cyber warfare, demonstrated how a hacker (or really anyone with time on their hands) could take advantage of this privacy issue to piece together a user's entire friends list. You are able to view the mutual friends of any two users on Facebook, so long as one of the two users shares his friends list publicly.

        mashable.com

The mutual friends tool is a byproduct of the company's mission to connect the whole world on the platform; the company believes it helps to see which friends you share with other users. But it doesn't afford users as much privacy as they might think they have. To prove that, we put the mutual friends feature to the test with the most famous Facebook user of all: founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

        cyberint.com

Zuckerberg keeps his friends list private, but he is also friends with longtime Facebook employee and head of product Chris Cox, whose friends list is public.

        valuewalk.com

How exactly did CyberInt and Mashable do it?

A sampling of mutual friends shared by Mark Zuckerberg and Chris Cox.
Image via blog.cyberint.com

By using the URL template below and inserting the respective user names into the brackets, you can see the mutual friends between the two users, even if you are not friends with either person. https://www.facebook.com/profile.name[Hidden Friends Profile]/friends?and=second.profile[Public Friends Profile]

        mashable.com

We tested this URL with Zuckerberg and Cox, and found 248 mutual friends. In other words, we identified 248 of Zuckerberg's Facebook friends, even though he is keeping his friends list private. And thanks to that fact (and further friends list comparisons) we were able to see more than 400 of Zuckerberg's Facebook friends.

        cyberint.com

By using the 248 mutual friends as a foundation, a user could compare Zuckerberg's friends list to any of these 248 that share their list publicly. It may not return every Facebook friend Zuckerberg has, but it's highly likely your knowledge of his friends list would grow dramatically using this system.

        mashable.com

Not surprisingly, Zuckerberg is friends with many of Silicon Valley's most prominent tech icons, including dozens of CEOs and VCs and fellow billionaires

It definitely doesn't come as a shock to see Facebook board members like Marc Andreessen and Don Graham, and early employees such as Napster co-founder and former Facebook president Sean Parker, on the list.

        mashable.com

But there were also surprises. Included amongst Zuckerberg's list of friends: Robin Li, cofounder of Chinese search engine Baidu, and China's third richest man ($11.1 billion net worth, according to Forbes).

        valuewalk.com

Here's a brief list of some of the intriguing names from Mark Zuckerberg's private Friend List:

Image via imgur.com

You can't see a connection if both users hide their Friend List, as is the case with Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg

We assume the two are friends, but you can't tell by using the mutual friends search. Mark Zuckerberg's full friends list likely features even more intriguing tech connections. Still, the list is a relatively in-depth look at the personal and professional connections of one of Silicon Valley's most powerful CEOs — and if Facebook doesn't believe the friends list loophole is a problem, then Facebook has to be okay with everyone in the world knowing who Zuckerberg is connected to.

        mashable.com

While a Facebook spokesperson declined to comment on Zuckerberg's Friend List, he did share a statement about the mutual friends tool in general

Facebook's privacy settings aren't very helpful when it comes to keeping your friends list under wraps.
Image via mshcdn.com

"A friendship includes two people, and we give each of those people control over who they share their friends lists with. Of course, friends sometimes disagree on things, maybe even when it comes to who they share things with on Facebook... That's why we not only give people control over who can see their friends list on their Timeline, but we explain prominently that their friends also get to choose who they share with and that they might select a different set of people."

        valuewalk.com

Facebook has not shared any plans to change this mutual friends tool. Unless it does, users should understand that their friends list is just as visible as Zuckerberg's with a bit of digging — even if they set it to be seen by "only me."
