A group of individuals in Taiping were recently issued police summons for selling fruits at traffic light junctions

On Thursday, 7 January, the Taiping district police wrote about Ops Penjaja Jalanan on their official Facebook page.The post read, "The Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) from Taiping district police headquarters have carried out Ops Penjaja Jalanan in areas under the administration of the Taiping district police headquarters on 5 January lead by The Taiping JSPT head ASP Ng Wei Boon along with senior officers and three junior officers."

Police issued a total of four POL.257 summons and said that the peddlers were previously advised to stop operations.
Authorities urged them to set up a stall using a canopy by the side of the road instead.

"The act of peddling at the traffic light is something that could bring danger to the seller and road users," the post added.Photos uploaded show that the individuals were selling containers of pickled mangoes and guavas for RM10 each.

OPS PENJAJA JALANAN

Taiping - Bahagian Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik(BSPTD) IPD Taiping telah menjalankan Ops...Posted by Polis Daerah Taiping on Wednesday, January 6, 2021

Meanwhile, the Facebook post received mixed reactions from netizens.
Some agreed that the sellers were putting their lives in danger while others argued that they're merely trying to make a living.

One person wrote, "Agree. Although it seems cruel, it's for the best especially for children who sell these. Let's say one day they get hit while peddling in the middle of the road. Who is going to be responsible? Plus the cost of medicine? It's even worse for those with families and wives and kids. Look at this angle, friends. It seems cruel but it's for good in the long run."

Image via Facebook

Another netizen noted, "The law is right, but you have to remember that we are in COVID-19 times. People are struggling to live, not struggling to be rich."

Image via Facebook

"Shouldn't have taken action like that. They only sell during the red light, putting in effort to make an honest living and not doing crime. In Kelantan, there are so many people peddling like this and it's fine. So far I haven't heard of them risking the lives of road users. They're just doing business, not performing robbery. It's best to just advise them to take precautionary steps," one person argued.

Image via Facebook

A user commented, "They're looking for an income not to be rich, just to survive life. I don't know what to say. They're struggling and then get issued a summon. I pity them very much."

Mother Of Baby Who Died After Being Raped & Sodomised Recounts Her Daughter's Final Weeks

The mother of a baby girl who died on Friday, 9 November, after being allegedly raped and sodomised by her caretaker's husband, has since spoken out about the tragedy

Noraihan Binti Abdul Aziz with her daughter Zara.

Noraihan Binti Abdul Aziz had been sending her two children, a five-year-old son and baby Zara, to a caretaker in Bandar Baru Bangi since September, after the woman approached her on Facebook with an offer to look after them for RM1,100.According to Noraihan, she noticed bruises on Zara's arms, thighs, and forehead two weeks ago and became reluctant to send her there again, The Star reported."I even brought it up with the caretaker but she told me that her one-year-old son had accidentally bitten her. Zara also refused to drink milk because of her swollen lips and gums," she said."After that, my husband and I decided to send Zara to my husband's sister in Klang. But Zara cried a lot over there, so we had no choice but to bring her back to the woman."

On Zara's first day back with the caretaker, the woman told Noraihan that while the baby was calm around her, she "would cry when the husband carried her."
Noraihan got a call from the hospital a few hours later.

"Upon arriving at the hospital, I found the caretaker feeling very sorry, but her husband was just calm as if nothing had happened," she said, according to Free Malaysia Today.The police informed her that it was the caretaker's husband who had been looking after Zara all along because he said his wife was "slow."

Image via Berita Harian

Zara succumbed to her injuries after spending two days at the Serdang Hospital in critical condition.Post-mortem found that the baby had been subjected to physical and sexual abuse, including fractures on her skull and a torn hymen.

"You're in peace there my dear... Wait for mother in heaven," Noraihan wrote in a Facebook post

"As long Zara's case is not settled, as long as the offender is not punished, I will not feel calm," Noraihan said."My heart ached when I saw Zara's condition. I leave it to the police to investigate and take appropriate action against the perpetrator," she told Bernama.Zara's remains were buried at Kampung Lubok Gong Muslim Cemetery in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan on Friday, 9 November.

The caretaker's husband, who has since been remanded, tested positive for methamphetamine. Read more about the tragedy here:

Sajat Seeks Therapist's Help After She Was Sexually Assaulted & Almost Raped At Her Salon

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.Disclaimer: This story discusses the topic of sexual assault and contains explicit and graphic details that may be distressing to some readers.

Malaysian cosmetic guru and businesswoman, Nur Sajat, who moved to Australia in 2021, recently shared a heartbreaking story of how she was sexually assaulted at her beauty salon in the country

Sajat posted a video of herself doing her makeup while telling the story on social media, in which she shared the horrifying details of how a 187cm-tall Middle Eastern man came into her salon and tried to rape her.She said that the incident happened on 17 February, while she was attending to a female customer who came for a full-body waxing service.According to Sajat, the female customer was supposed to be the last customer of the day, and she immediately left after getting the treatment at her store.While the female customer was leaving, the assailant came into Sajat's salon, and she locked the front door after he entered to stop new customers from entering.The sexual assault then took place in a room inside her beauty salon, far from the front door.

Sajat said that the man had visited her salon before and came again on the day of the incident to get an eyebrow waxing service

However, after Sajat waxed the man's eyebrows, the assailant then closed the door of the room and pulled her while telling her that he was interested in her."I begged him to stop and told him, 'Please don't do this, this is where I work,' and he replied, 'No one is here, and you've already locked the front door,'" said Sajat in the video.The man then told her that he knew that her salon did not have a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera, to which he was wrong as Sajat said her salon is occupied with CCTV cameras that are well hidden.

He then choked and slapped Sajat, leaving her shocked into silence

Sajat then begged the man to stop slapping her and told him that she was willing to do whatever he wanted.According to Sajat, she only tried to reassure the assailant because she was afraid that if she fought back, the items in her salon would be damaged, causing massive financial loss to her business.She went on to say that he took off his clothes and proceeded to molest her."I tried to talk to him nicely and told him, 'I am dirty right now, what if we go to my place so I can clean up?' But I only told him that to make him trust me."While he was choking me and slapping me, I decided not to fight. Because if I fought, he might have hurt me worse and I might have even been killed," said Sajat, who abruptly stopped telling her story while covering her face and crying.

The victim has since lodged a police report and sought help from a therapist and the Australian government

Sajat said that since the incident, her store has remained shut as she has been riddled with anxiety and is still struggling to heal from the trauma."I've kept this story to myself because I am on antidepressants. I've said before that I have a story to share, but I didn't. This is actually what happened," she added.The woman went on to say that the mental health professional and the Australian government are helping her get back on her feet by compensating her and paying for her rental fees while her store is closed.As for the assailant, he was arrested by the police after Sajat lodged a report and provided CCTV footage of the incident to the authorities.

The video of Sajat recounting the incident can be found below:

Although the recommended amount of sleep for an adult is 7 to 8 hours a day, an AIA landmark survey has shown that Malaysian adults only get 6.3 hours of sleep on average

Image via HealthHub

With sleep being closely related to our wellbeing, lack of rest not only results in you feeling tired, but can also lead to health problems.Here are some of the issues you could face if you lack sleep:1. ObesityCarried out by the researchers at the University of Arizona, a study showed that lack of sleep may increase the risk of obesity and diabetes, because of intensified cravings for junk food and nighttime snacks.2. High blood pressureIt is said that sleep helps your body control the hormones that regulate stress and metabolism. Over time, a lack of sleep could cause swings in hormones, leading to high blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease.3. DepressionIn a study of adults aged 21 to 30 enrolled in a Michigan health maintenance organisation, it was found that, compared to normal sleepers, those who reported a history of insomnia during an interview in 1989 were four times as likely to develop major depression by a second interview three years later.4. Not productive at workAccording to a survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, many respondents reported poorer workplace performance due to tiredness, with over half struggling to stay focused in meetings, taking longer to complete tasks, and finding it challenging to generate new ideas. Along with a lack of focus and less creative capacities, participants also indicated a reduced motivation to learn and were less able to manage competing demand.

One way to get good rest is to be truly comfy in bed, which is why you need a good mattress

The Full Story About Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch commercials deliver an epic blast of nostalgia... but that's about it because the so-called smartwatch doesn't deliver anything!

      Unsupported video platform

Image via ndtv.com

Posted on YouTube, the first spot (above) shows off watches with advanced functionality — from Dick Tracy's communication watch to KITT's smart watch in Knight Rider.

        mashable.com

In Samsung's second spot (below), film and TV characters are shown talking into their watches, including the Predator, Penny from Inspector Gadget and Agent 86 from Get Smart.

        techcrunch.com

      Unsupported video platform

Both ads let you reminisce about a time when the idea of a smartwatch belonged only to fiction and touts the Galaxy Gear as bringing all these dreams alive.

READ: Samsung announced its first Android-powered smart watch called the Galaxy Gear

      Unsupported video platform

It’s big. It’s gaudy. It’s packed with fancy hardware and comes loaded with software features–some of which you’d probably never use.

        time.com

Image via blogcdn.com

It's a smartphone accessory that can pick up notifications, control music playback, and keep time with a rich variety of watch faces, but Samsung takes it a few steps further by integrating a 1.9-megapixel camera, a speaker, and two microphones — allowing you to shoot short 720p movies and even conduct phone calls with the Galaxy Gear.

        theverge.com

The Galaxy Gear is not a phone in its own right — it relies on a Bluetooth connection to your Samsung Galaxy device in order to do most of its connected work.

        businessinsider.com

The Galaxy Gear is a feature-rich device. Basic onboard apps include a pedometer and the ability to find your Galaxy (or, alternatively, an option to find your Gear via your Galaxy handset), but most impressive of all is the number of compatible apps.

Venture Beat on Sunday posted photos of what it says is a prototype of Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch that was sent to developers. The photos are actually stills from an "internal promotional marketing video" that was created by an independent team working with Samsung

        cnet.com

The photos show off the purported smartwatch's OLED display running what appears to be a handful of different apps.
Along with the photos, Venture Beat detailed some specs of the prototype Galaxy Gear that match up with previously reported details.

        engadget.com

The Galaxy Gear will likely have a square OLED display, a 4-megapixel camera and will come preloaded with Android.

        gigaom.com

According to News.com.au, the analysis of the smartwatch indicates that the gadget has limited battery power, which means it can only survive for 10 hours.

UPDATE: Samsung to reportedly debut 'Galaxy Gear' smart watch on Sept. 4

Samsung officially is not confirming anything, however SamMobile.com, a website that monitors Samsung devices going to market, claims the new watch, called Galaxy Gear, will debut on September 4

        theaustralian.com.au

Like Google Glass, the touted new watch is tipped to bring controls such as a power button and menu control to a wearable item – in Samsung’s case to the wristband.

        androidcommunity.com

It’s being called the Samsung Galaxy Gear and it will act as a companion device to existing Samsung Galaxy products.

Samsung confirms making a smartwatch

There's also no word on what a Samsung watch would be like (S9110 touchscreen watchphone from 2009 above) so until hardware is actually unveiled, we'll just have to use our imagination.

        engadget.com

Samsung is indeed working on a smart watch, the company’s Executive Vice President of Mobile told Bloomberg in an interview today.

        techcrunch.com

Lee gave no details about the features of the watch or its price, merely saying that the company has been "preparing the watch product for so long."

Thief Steals Man's Car By Hacking Into Vehicle's System At Cheras Mall

A Malaysian man recently took to Facebook to share of how his car was stolen at a Cheras mall parking lot

At 9am on 13 January, Nic Wang wrote that he parked his Honda CRV at the basement carpark in EkoCheras Mall.After work at 6.30pm that day, Nic was heading home when he noticed that his car was missing.

The victim said he parked 10 to 15 cars away from the exit and entrance of the mall.
Image via Facebook

Based on CCTV footage, it was later confirmed that Nic's car was stolen at 2.47pm

After lodging a police report, police sergeants went to investigate. Footage showed that a silver Perodua Alza had entered EkoCheras Mall and circled the carpark several times.When they spotted his CRV, one man got out of the Alza and managed to unlock his car in under a minute.Both cars then drove out of the carpark, as the suspect tailgated the Alza to exit the basement. Nic noted that there was no CCTV at the exit that captured the driver's face. The only camera available was focused on the number plate.

He also claimed that the management initially suspected that his car keys were duplicated by the thieves."What made me angry is the management immediately tries to blame my 'carelessness' i.e. keys duplicated, [that I told] others where I stay and work. Which is totally not true," he wrote.

On Wednesday, 15 January, one of the suspects was caught and the victim's stolen car was found north of KL

In an update to SAYS, Nic noted that PDRM worked swiftly until 3am and is currently searching for the second suspect.They confirmed that he was a random target and that the suspect had taken 20 minutes to start his car.

Image via Facebook

It turned out that the suspect had not duplicated the victim's car keys but had actually hacked the system

"They use a tool to hack into my car system and reprogram the whole thing to a new key. Both my original keys can't be used anymore," he revealed.His Facebook post has been shared over 2,200 times, as many people have tagged friends and family to be cautious.

The Oxford English Dictionary Added Hong Kong Words About Food. Here Are Our 5 Favourites

This Spotlight is sponsored by Hong Kong Tourism Board.

Hong Kong is known for delicious and affordable food. So much so that even the Oxford English Dictionary took notice.

Back in 2016, the Oxford English Dictionary made headlines when they added new Hong Kong words.Some were based from Cantonese, such as dai pai dong (a food stall), while others were English terms that are only used in Hong Kong, like sitting-out area (a small public space with seating in a built-up urban area).

We miss travelling to Hong Kong for the food! Jom, let's dive into the meaning of the city's delicious treats and plan where to eat once we can:

1. Dim sum

n. A Chinese dish of small steamed or fried savoury dumplings containing various fillings.

Image via Hong Kong Tourism Board

Who doesn't love dim sum? From the steamed classics like siu mai, har gow, and cheong fun, to the deep-fried treats like spring rolls and bean curd, there's always something for everyone.Lifting the lids off those little bamboo steamers to reveal the delicious bites inside is the best feeling. Oof so puas! Dim sum is all about sharing and variety.

2. Yum cha

n. A meal eaten in the morning or early afternoon, typically consisting of dim sum and hot tea.

Image via GLP Worldwide

Yum cha. For Hongkongers, yum cha is all about spending time with family. It's about gathering and chatting over rounds of hot tea and dim sum. Usually a morning or early afternoon activity, it's also a popular pastime for retirees and senior citizens to catch up with friends.

The Dim Sum Afternoon Experience at Holt's Cafe comes with seven courses and four different brews.

3. Milk tea

n. Any of various drinks made with tea and milk or cream; esp. a drink originating in Hong Kong, made with black tea and evaporated or condensed milk.

Image via Hong Kong Tourism Board

Milk tea is a Hong Kong staple. Usually made with a combination of strong Ceylon black tea with evaporated or condensed milk, this drink has been a popular go-to since the 1950s.Nowadays, locals get their milk tea fix from a cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style cafe).

4 & 5. Siu mei and Char siu

Siu mei:n. In Cantonese cookery: marinated meat roasted on a spit over an open fire or in a wood-burning rotisserie oven.Char siu:n. In Cantonese cookery: roast pork marinated in a sweet and savoury sauce, typically served sliced into thin strips. Frequently attributive, esp. in char siu bun, char siu pork, char siew rice.

Image via Hong Kong Tourism Board

Siu mei is used to describe Cantonese-style roast meat in general. This includes char siu, roast goose, roast pig, and soy sauce chicken. Traditionally, siu mei is considered a luxury, a meal for special occasions. Siu mei restaurants are unmistakable with their rows of roast meat in glass displays out front. With a rich taste and distinct barbecue flavour, siu mei is best savoured with plain white rice or noodles.Char siu is probably the most popular siu mei item of all time. This barbecued pork is instantly recognisable with its dark red exterior, while the meat is sweet, savoury, and smoky. The best cut is half fat, half lean, so you get the best of both worlds!

On 31 October, a woman posted on Facebook claiming that a stranger had climbed into her house to "steal mangoes" from her tree at 6.50am on Saturday, 27 October."His bamboo stick used for hooking the mangoes was [also] left inside my compound," she wrote in a comment.

The woman claimed that if the man had just asked for permission, she would not have minded giving him the mangoes

But because he climbed into her house, she was "worried for her personal safety" and had to consider it as "trespassing and theft".

"By any chance you guys know this guy or recognise him, please tell him do not do that again and [that] I am going to lodge a police report," she wrote today.The woman, who prefers to not be named, told SAYS that she has since lodged a police report.

Meanwhile, a Facebook user replied to her post saying that she recognised the man because he also takes mangoes from her neighbour's house

She added that he even asks the neighbour for a stick to pluck the mangoes with and shares the fruit with the neighbour himself.

			He looks a little unfriendly but as far as I have seen and think, he just likes mangoes, she wrote.

The funny short clip of Jinnyboy caught in the act of working on a new project in the bathroom then quickly went viral on social media.Watch it below:

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Michelle Ng (@michellekoibito)

Captioned 'My husband at "work", until I can't use the bathroom ;P', the video starts off with the camera being taken through a walk-in closet, soon arriving at a glass door

The whole time Michelle is walking through the closet to the glass door, a muffled male voice can be heard singing. When the glass door opens, a bathroom is revealed, with none other than Jinnyboy inside!

Dressed in a light grey t-shirt and dark grey shorts, Jinnyboy can be seen hilariously hard at work on a new project

Holding a pink bottle of shower gel as a makeshift microphone in one hand, and using a razor to gesture at the mirror with his other hand, he exuberantly sings his heart out and dances along.The video ends when he finally realizes that he's being filmed, cutting off abruptly just as Jinnyboy turns back in shock.

Jinnyboy himself reposted his wife's hilarious video on his Insta story, accompanied with a smiling sweat drop emoji

Hmmm, we wonder what project Jinnyboy is working on... Perhaps there's a hint in the lyrics he's singing throughout the video?

He sings, "7-day money back guarantee... So steady, so lit, you sure say 'FWAH!' 7-day money back guarantee, 7-day money back guarantee..."Eagle-eyed netizens managed to identify the pink shower gel Jinnyboy is holding as a Watsons Brand Product, so there's a big chance that the project is for them.

People And Politicians Are Questioning RM81.5 Million Allocated To JASA In #Budget2021

The Special Affairs Department or Jabatan Hal Ehwal Khas (JASA), a formerly defunct agency, has been allocated RM81,549,200 in Budget 2021. JASA is under the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia.

Kluang Member of the Parliament (MP) Wong Shu Qi, who is a DAP politician, shared a screenshot of the allotment while highlighting the huge increase in the agency's budget from Budget 2018 to Budget 2021.

On JASA, the 2018 budget under BN is RM30mil for 272 employed staff. Under PN Saifuddin Abdullah, the 2021 budget for JASA is RM85.55mil for 52 employed staff. #Belanjawan2021— Wong Shu Qi (@WongShuQi) November 6, 2020

Formed to explain the government initiatives and programmes, JASA turned into political propaganda unit under the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration and was used by UMNO to attack the opposition.The agency was dissolved after the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition took over Putrajaya following the 14th General Election in 2018 which saw BN being voted out by the people.Following the agency's dissolution on 15 October 2018, some 300 civil servants who served JASA were absorbed into other departments and ministries, while its mostly political contract staff cut.However, after the RM81,549,200 being allotted to it in Budget 2021, JASA has now been revived under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration, which is supported by UMNO.

In addition to the RM81,549,200, JASA has another allocation of RM4 million. Collectively, the RM85.5 million is a 185% increase from the RM30 million allocated to the agency by BN in Budget 2018.

Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman said the allocation to JASA is actually higher than the amount of money allocated to restoring dilapidated schools and mental healthcare.

JASA dihidupkan semula.Peruntukkan Cybertroopers Kerajaan kini (JASA) RM81JUTA!!!!!Dahulu bawah BN pun RM30juta.Malangnya, Peruntukkan baik pulih sekolah daif dikurangkan RM58juta.Peruntukkan kesihatan mental hanya RM24juta.Bersiap sedialah untuk dihujani Cytros— Syed Saddiq  (@SyedSaddiq) November 6, 2020

A viral tweet highlighted the massive gap in allotment to JASA against health facilities.

To put things to perspective, RM81mil for JASA is higher than:Dermatology 42milNeurology 19milNephrology 56milNeurosurg 29milUrology 29milPlastics 16milCardiothoracic 60milNuclear med 10milRespiratory 34milForensic 21milHealth education 48milKesihatan Pergigian 52mil— yoong (@yoongkhean) November 6, 2020

The funds allocated to JASA should have been given to targeted businesses such as the micro businesses that are at a breaking point and unable to make rent, according to Klang MP Charles Santiago

"Specific support should have gone to protect SMEs from closing up and jobless workers could have been provided longer social protection," he said in a statement last night.

Budget 2021 cannot be about the Finance Minister giving RM81 million towards JASA, the intelligence gathering unit of the government. pic.twitter.com/Wl9gahT4Oa— Charles Santiago (@mpklang) November 6, 2020

The National Patriots Association (Patriot) has gone a step ahead and asked the government to explain its allocation to the agency

"Prior to the 2018 general election, Jasa was allegedly used to spearhead 'cybertrooper' attacks against Pakatan Harapan politicians. Patriot would also like to know why JASA is still being retained and not disbanded," Patriot President Retired Brigadier-General Dato Mohamed Arshad Raji said."Even if it is meant to disseminate information about the government's initiatives and programmes, what is so special about JASA that other agencies of the ministry cannot do? This is sheer duplication of tasks and wastage of funds. At a time when our country is so squeezed of funds, such wastage is irresponsible."

25-Year-Old Penang Employee Kills His Colleague After Working Alone In A Room For 2 Years

On 24 September, a 25-year-old man killed his colleague and injured another staff member at a factory in Bayan Lepas, Penang

Image via Penangkini

Armed with two parangs and a knife, the man went on a rampage at the B. Braun Medical Industries factory.According to Coconuts KL, the man was looking for more victims when police arrived at the scene and shot him dead.

The first victim, who died at the hospital, was a 47-year-old female supervisor

Image via Coconuts KL

PenangKini reported that she had suffered fatal cuts to her head, neck, and hands.His second victim was a man, who also suffered injuries but was hospitalised and is in stable condition.

The suspect had been absent from work for about a week before he went in to hand over his resignation letter

Image via Coconuts KL

According to other employees, the suspect had acted "normal" and did not display any suspicious behaviour, Coconuts KL reported.During the incident, police had attempted to calm the suspect down. However, it was reported that he had charged at them.Investigators later confirmed that the man had been suffering from depression in recent months after having spent two years working in an isolated room at the factory.

Employers have since been urged to look out for employees' mental health because focus is often placed on productivity instead of staff well-being

"[Work-related] stress is often overlooked," said Associate Professor Dr Ng Chong Guan of Universiti Malaya, as reported by theSundaily."Too much focus has been placed on the productivity of employees' work, at the expense of their health," he added, in response to the recent incident."Men do not like to seek help so they eventually break down – physically and mentally."

Seeking help is not a sign of weakness. Here are several places you can find counsellors and therapists in Klang Valley:

Here's How You Can "Safely" Travel Across Malaysia

No need to travel, just stay home

Malaysia is seeing the COVID-19 disease spread again after having it under control for almost three months.This week, we have seen more than 100 daily new cases.The total count of active cases has now gone above 1,050 in the country.For context, active cases had fallen to two-digit count in the first week of June.

Image via Worldometers

One of the reasons for the rise in numbers is unchecked interstate travel

While travelling is essential for millions of us, in a pandemic it is also a high-risk activity.Amidst the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), travel was resumed, sometimes for need and at times for fun. The recently concluded state election in Sabah is one such example.Thousands travelled to and from Sabah, a COVID-19 hotspot with over 880 actives cases as of today, 30 September, and with them, the virus has now travelled across the country.As of this writing, excepting Perak, Labuan, and Putrajaya, every single state and federal territory has active COVID-19 cases with Kedah (55) and Selangor (43) being in second and third spot after Sabah.

Whether we like it or not, there is no "safe" way to travel

Travelling by default exposes us to people and with several isolated cases reported around the Klang Valley last week, there is no way to know who is safe and who isn't.Based on information released by the Ministry of Health (MOH), half of the COVID-19 cases outside of Sabah have now been linked to the outbreak in the state, a Malaysiakini tally showed.

Mandatory COVID-19 screening for people returning from Sabah at all Peninsular Malaysia entryways have led to long queues and crowds at the airports on Sunday, 27 September.
Image via Provided to SAYS

So no, you shouldn't travel across the country

Considering the fact that almost all the states and federal territories have active COVID-19 cases, travelling anywhere is asking for unnecessary trouble.Currently, travellers from Sabah and those who have had close contact with infected patients are required to undergo mandatory swab tests and required to stay home while waiting for the results.If you test negative but have cold or flu symptoms, you should continue staying home until you recover. And if you test negative while also not showing any symptoms, you should still stay home.Asymptomatic cases (those who show no symptoms) have been previously reported, including those in Malaysia. Back in May, MOH found that out of the 635 who tested positive, 539 were asymptomatic.

Why?

Because increased travel, regardless of how "safe" you assume it is, will contribute towards new COVID-19 cases. And if cases continue to rise, the government will be forced to implement another lockdown.If that happens, the situation in the country will become dire.On 28 September, the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) said 75,000 out of 300,000 fresh graduates are expected to be unemployed this year due to the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.The total unemployment among fresh graduates will add up to a whopping 116,161 people in 2020.

It sounds scary because it is

Our safety amidst this pandemic is in our hands.Unless absolutely necessary, avoid interstate travel. It's one of the ways we keep each other safe.

Keep practising physical distancing and wash your hands often. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:

The operator of Line Clear nasi kandar at Penang Road is crying foul after the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) carted away tables and chairs from the restaurant early Monday morning.

        thestar.com.my

In the 4am incident, a few customers were enjoying their nasi kandar at the joint, which operates 24 hours, when enforcement officers arrived in two lorries and carted away tables, chairs and a stove.

“The enforcement action is in line with the provisions under the Hawkers By-law 1979,” the MPPP said in a statement.

The future of Line Clear, one of Penang’s most famous nasi kandar outlets, is not so clear now as a family dispute has arisen over its ownership.

        thestar.com.my

Nasi Kandar Line Clear, one of Penang's most famous Indian Muslim restaurants, is not in the clear with the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) over a licensing problem and runs the risk of being shut down by it.

This is caused by a family dispute over who is in charge of management

A rift over the rotation of management, which is said to have been in practice since the 1980s, has forced the Penang Island Municipal Council to issue an ultimatum to the four partners, all of whom are cousins.

The family members usually take turns to run the business but Abdul Hamid, the current operator  hasn't handed over the business since 2011

Image via ibnukhusairy.com

Under an agreement by the four operators, who are related, they would take turns to run the outlet. However, one of the relatives was alleged to have failed to honour their agreement.

        nst.com.my

“Abdul Hamid was supposed to run the business from 2008 to 2010 and Sahubarali after 2010, but the former refused to pass the business to any of us until now,” Latiff said.

        thestar.com.my

The issue arose when a verbal deal among family members, who had allegedly agreed to run the business on a sharing basis by taking turns to operate the business, turned sour after the two original founders, brothers SN Seeni Pakir and SN Sekandar, died.

        therakyatpost.com

    03 Jun — 04:35 PM

In response, other family members in have set up their stalls next to Hamid's, causing the area to be unhygienic and dirty

Image via bazookapenaka.com

MPPP Licensing Division director Azman Sirun has asked them to resolve their dispute in two weeks or face eviction as three of the partners had set up stalls in a back lane near the restaurant in Jalan Penang, causing clutter and unhygienic conditions.

        thestar.com.my

    03 Jun — 04:26 PM

The MPPP has given the business an ultimatum to sort out their differences or risk action being taken against them

MPPP licensing director Azman Sirun said the family had two weeks to settle the dispute, failing which action would be taken against Abdul Hamid. “We will seize the stall and other items in the eatery,” Azman said at a press conference yesterday.

        thestar.com.my

"We will negotiate again with the interested parties to resolve this in two weeks. Failing which, we will have to take action to ensure the business operates according to rules and regulations." "We intend to take over the premises by vacating the area to rearrange the business in line with council by-laws," said licensing director Azman Sirun.
