So he proceeds with his 'stunt' that made those who were recording him, cheer and applaud in support. WATCH THE VIDEO:

Mike M H Tan says, "Yes, I did what the pick up did before. Totally satisfying!!!"

Y.c. Leong says, "Should push the Myvi into the drain instead of the middle of the road."

Others said, "two wrongs don't make a right"

Audrey 'Pro' Rukia says, "Please la, you're not even suppose to park there anyways. its not the myvi at fault . Both also at fault , because of these typical malaysian ' im right ' attitude. Lucky yesterday when I came back around 3.30am that myvi not there."

And what about the safety of others on the road?

Andrew Tang says, "I know it's irritating that someone block your car in, but what this driver did to push the car into the middle of the road is also idiotic. He could have caused a major accident."

PeiJun Ho says, "
What is so happy to clap hands (in the video)??? This action just will welcome oncoming car accidents... how if the oncoming car driver do not notice the white car stop at the middle of the road n its happen to be ur relative members? Is this action is the best way to settle things?"

Darren Lee Lee says, "Definitely ntg to be proud of and whats with the clapping?.. wtf .. could cause accidents + already caused congestion."

Situated along the busy Old Klang Road in KL, Scott Garden has a SOHO concept and is popular for nightlife. Although illegal, it is common to see vehicles parked along the road opposite the premise at night.

According to a Facebook post by SG Road Vigilante, the man drove to Genting Highlands in his Honda Civic Type R on 15 July.He then parked his car at the Genting Highlands SkyAvenue shopping mall car park. When he returned to retrieve it on the evening of 16 July, his car was no longer there.Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage caught the car being driven down the Genting Highlands mountain at 2am.

The SkyAvenue car park is also shared with First World Hotel, where the man stayed with his girlfriend

The 28-year-old man, who goes by Damien, told Mothership that he and his girlfriend were in Genting Highlands for a visit along with his six other friends.It was only when they were planning to take the car to have dinner that he realised his car was missing.After thoroughly searching every corner of the car park for over two hours, Damien and his friends were still unsuccessful.He alleged that apart from sending out five motorcycles to comb through the car park, First World Hotel's management was "not helpful at all".He further claimed that the management responded by saying, "Lost items are not our problem."

He has since made a police report on the matter, but as of writing, the police are still unable to locate the car

The most they have been able to provide Damien is surveillance footage of the thief driving his car.The stolen vehicle was spotted tailgating another car through the car park exit, while other footage shows it travelling down Genting Highlands at 2.43am on 16 July.He added that, based on the CCTV footage he saw, there were no signs of forced entry. He even recalled that he used a manual steering lock in order to prevent the car from being towed.Malaysian police also allegedly told Damien that a day before his car was stolen, a Toyota Hilux was also stolen from the car park.

UMS Confirms There Were Online Exams In June And Veveonah Did Sit For Her Final Semester

18-year-old student Veveonah Mosibin sat for her final semester exams that took place online from 9 to 12 June 2020, according to the chairman of Universiti Malaysia Sabah's (UMS) Board of Directors

In a statement released via Twitter, chairman Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said that he met with the deputy vice chancellor and the director of the science foundation centre to find out the truth about the issue."After meeting the deputy vice chancellor, the Pusat Asasi Sains director, and Universiti Malaysia Sabah today, I would like to confirm that student Veveonah Mosibin sat for her final semester exams (online) from 9/6 till 12/6/20," he said in his tweet yesterday, 8 September.Masidi, who is also the former minister of tourism, culture, and environment of Sabah, added that Veveonah was an exemplary student and has been offered to pursue a Marine Science degree at UMS.

Image via New Straits Times

He said that as the chairman of the UMS Board of Directors, his word is the official statement as he won't say something that's not factual

When asked if any action will be taken against Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin and Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri, both of whom accused Veveonah of lying, Masidi said that he cannot say anything on the matter as he is not their boss."To be honest, I too made many mistakes in my life and tried to learn from them so that I could avoid making the same mistakes in the future. One can actually profit from their mistakes if they learn from it," he said.

Consider my statement as official statement. I am also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of UMS @UMS_EcoCampus & I will not say something that’s not factual.— Masidi Manjun (@MasidiM) September 8, 2020

Prior to this, Abdul Rahim, who is also the Kudat Member of Parliament (MP), had insisted that Veveonah faked everything for publicity

The Kudat MP had taken to his Facebook page to shame the 18-year-old student after Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Zahidi Zainul passed the buck to him.According to a report in New Straits Times, in his since-deleted post on Facebook, Abdul Rahim said that stands by his claim that Veveonah had faked her situation in her viral video, in which she is seen resorting to climbing a tree for better Internet access, in her village of Kampung Sepatalang in Pitas, in order to sit for an online exam during the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO).He claimed that he personally "investigated" the issue by sending one of his officers to meet with Kampung Bilangau Besar village head Edward Upak and Kampung Sepatalang village head Elwin Madisa in Pitas, who told him that Veveonah and her family were no longer residents of Kampung Sepatalang."This was because her father, Mosibin Maraun @ Makrun, began working with the district cooperative development in Pitas town. Her family lives in Pitas now. Pitas has internet service," read his deleted post."In truth, she does not have a home in Kampung Sepatalang. So how could this student claim to have studied on top of a tree, whereas she has been living in Pitas town?"He also reiterated his claim that the video was merely a stunt by Veveonah to gain "publicity and attention" and that he carried out another "investigation" by seeking information from a UMS dean faculty to determine if students were sitting for examinations at the time the video was made.

Veveonah's story about her struggle for better Internet connection for her online exams in June became an issue in September when Deputy Minister Zahidi Zainul Abidin accused her of lying

According to the Deputy Minister, who was speaking in the Dewan Negara, 18-year-old Veveonah lied about having to sit for online examinations because "she didn't have an exam" and wanted to be popular."The girl is a YouTuber. She didn't have an exam, we already checked. Which means she is smart. Therefore, we should not so easily believe YouTubers and people who like to incite issues," he had said.In the Dewan Negara, Zahidi Zainul was actually being questioned about the status of the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP), which was supposed to improve mobile coverage in rural areas in Sabah for others like Veveonah. He, for reasons best known to him, brought up Veveonah's story.Later the same day, Zahidi Zainul offered his apology to the Sabahan student.In a statement on 3 September, the Deputy Minister said that he had received "inaccurate information" when he questioned Veveonah's claim that she had to climb a tree and stay on top of it for 24 hours to get better Internet connection for her online examinations in June.However, the Deputy Minister's accusation had by then already affected Veveonah, who issued a statement, saying she felt "really sad and disappointed" after being accused of lying.The 18-year-old said that she worked hard for her online examinations.According to Veveonah, she never expected to go viral when she documented her experience about her struggle for better Internet connection on top of a tree and uploaded a video to her YouTube channel."This time, I'm viral again, but with some bad effects," she wrote on her social media account.

Meanwhile, earlier today, 9 September, Khairy Jamaluddin publicly remarked on the issue of the two deputy ministers' statements

According to Khairy, who is the Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister, the Cabinet discussed the issue of Veveonah and took note of the "incorrect and inappropriate" statements by two deputy ministers."The Cabinet agrees that the real issue is Internet connectivity and basic infrastructure, particularly in the rural areas. The government will try its best to fix it," he said on his Twitter account.

Jemaah Menteri pagi tadi telah bincang isu #Veveonah. Kabinet ambil maklum kenyataan dua Timbalan Menteri tidak betul & tidak wajar. Kabinet setuju isu sebanar adalah capaian internet & kemudahan asas lain khusus di pedalaman. Kerajaan akan usaha sebaik mungkin untuk perbaiki.— Khairy Jamaluddin  (@Khairykj) September 9, 2020


2 Little Girls From Sabah Got Featured On Buzzfeed For Going Viral In Cute Hula Hoop Video

Two little girls from a primary school in Sandakan, Sabah recently made it to Buzzfeed after a super cute video of them trying to hula hoop went viral on Twitter.

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by BuzzFeed World (@world) on Mar 29, 2019 at 11:08am PDT

The video, which was posted by their teacher Muhamad Fazri Hassan last month, has been viewed over 3.3 million times on Twitter!

People were especially enamoured by the girl wearing a blue tudung, who had the sweetest smile on her face after adorably failing to twirl the hula hoop around her hip

Even Hollywood celebrities like director/producer Ava Duvernay and comedian Patton Oswalt are getting the fuzzies from watching "Little Blue", as she is affectionately referred to by netizens:

Image via Twitter @ava / Twitter @pattonoswalt

The video was posted by Muhamad Fazri Hassan, a teacher at SK Gas who is part of the school's Integrated Special Education Program (PPKI). He revealed that Maisarah a.k.a. "Little Blue" is one of his students and has Global Development Delay.

In an interview with Buzzfeed News, Fazri said that he has been teaching PPKI at the school since January 2018.

Fazri explained that while PPKI students are integrated with mainstream students, they have their own classroom as well as a special curriculum. Occasionally, the department will organise activities to promote inclusiveness and understanding of special education, such as field trips and annual camping trips. The school also allots a special education awareness week every year for mainstream students to join the special education students' class and interact with them.

Fazri said that he would film or take photos of his students when something interesting happens so that he can share them with the kids' parents later on

Fazri also clarified that the parents of the kids involved have given him permission to upload the photos and videos to promote awareness and understanding for special education. Here are some examples of his most recent posts:

Aside from being happy to have a new soft toy collection in the classroom today, she also asked my permission to borrow a story book. "Nak tunjuk sama kakak" katanya. Ermm nak cari buku pop up lah lepas ni...biar minat buka buku tu bertambah tambah lepas ni pic.twitter.com/A9Nwp90g3X— Fazri Hassan (@FazriHassan) April 1, 2019

While Fazri feels overwhelmed by the global attention he has gotten from the video, Maisarah is apparently taking it all in stride... as she's a pretty popular figure even before the video went viral!

"We let her know that she's viral, but she has no idea what 'viral' is," he told SAYS. "According to her mum, she had this conversation with her younger sister about her being famous, but we still think she has no idea because even before this, a lot of people like to take pictures with her." Viral fame aside, Fazri highlights that the video has prompted many people to ask him about his work as a special education teacher, adding that some SPM leavers are even asking him about how they too can become one.

In light of the video and Maisarah's popularity, Fazri has created an official Facebook page to update the public on the school's PPKI activities. You can follow them here. You can also watch the adorable video again here:

Ramai pula yang dm tanya pasal budak kat video ni. Nama dia Maisarah. Murid pendidikan khas kategori Global Development Delayed.Tahun 2.

[PHOTOS] This Guy Scores The Most "Atas" SIA Flight And Makes Us All Jealous

Back in 2008, Singapore Airlines introduced the most luxurious class of flying that is commercially available called Suites Class. They are exclusive to their flagship Airbus A380, and go beyond flat beds by offering enclosed private cabins with sliding doors.

In 2008, Singapore Airlines introduced their Suites Class, the most luxurious class of flying that is commercially available. The Suites were exclusive to their flagship Airbus A380, and they go beyond flat beds by offering enclosed private cabins with sliding doors that cocoon you in your own little lap of luxury.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

The interior was designed by French luxury yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste and comes along with a plush soft leather armchair hand-stitched by the Italian master craftsmen Poltrona Frau. Perhaps most well-known of all, Singapore Airlines became the first and only commercial airline with a double bed in the sky.

        medium.com

However, the experience comes with a pretty hefty price tag, and is completely unattainable for most people. So entrepreneur Derek Low cashed in his USD19,000 frequent flier miles to take the lavish journey on air and blogged his expensive adventure for all of us.

Entrepeneur Derek Low cashed in his frequent flier miles to travel in Singapore Airlines's Suites Class - voted the most luxurious cabin in the world - from Singapore to New York. Above, he is seen in the posh cabin

However, the experience comes with a hefty price tag. With round-trip tickets from Singapore to the US costing up to S$23,000 (or US$18,400), it’s completely unattainable for most people. But then I remembered that most of my personal net worth exists in frequent flyer miles rather than cash. So last month, after splurging an colossal amount of miles, I booked a Suites Class flight to New York City!

        medium.com

Here's Derek's experience as shared by him

Documenting his incredible flight experience, Derek detailed his journey right from an exclusive and luxurious check-in lounge for Suites passengers to the many privileges that came with it

A'hotel lobby like' check-in lounge for First Class and Suites passengers
Image via cloudfront.net

I arrived at Singapore Changi Airport and proceeded to the Singapore Airlines counters for check-in. As I joined the line, I was promptly greeted by staff: “Good evening sir, how may I help you?” A sudden realisation hit me and I went “OH NOPE SORRY” and briskly walked away, leaving the lady puzzled. I had almost forgotten that Changi had a luxurious check-in lounge specially for First Class and Suites passengers. Interestingly enough, my suitcases were not even weighed. I suppose when you fly Suites, you can pack a luggage filled with rocks and get away with it.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

Flying in the Suites also includes an invitation to The Private Room, which the staff was proud to say that it was “higher than first class”. I arrived at the lounge and was approached by an attendant. “May I escort you to The Private Room?” she asked. I followed her past what seemed to be 50–60 people in the Business Class lounge.

        medium.com

She walked noticeably fast, seemingly afraid that I would be disgusted by the presence of the working class. Here I was transferred to another attendant who walked me through the First Class lounge, and then through a set of automatic sliding double doors before being transferred to yet another attendant.

        medium.com

Derek was then handed a 'Golden Ticket', along with a posh invitation to 'The Private Room'
Image via cloudfront.net

After what seemed like 16 kilometres of secret passageways and being escorted by 3000 people, Derek writes that he arrived at The Private Room, where staff greeted him by name. It's like they already knew him even before meeting him.

The Private Room, which staff reportedly claim is 'higher than First Class', was located past the busier and less luxurious Business and First Class lounges
Image via cloudfront.net

While he wasn't hungry, but having heard rave reviews about the dining room, he didn't waste much time and ordered everything that came to his mind, right from a glass of champagne to a Mango Smoothie

First, ordered a glass of champagne and had the Chicken and Mutton Satay plate

and then the Baked Boston Lobster with Gruyere, Emmenthal and Cheddar
Image via cloudfront.net

and also the U.S. Prime Beef Burger with Foie Gras, Rocket Leaf and Fried Quail Egg. Oh, and a Mango Smoothie too.
Image via cloudfront.net

After being completely stuffed, it was time for boarding, and so he walked across a 'dedicated jet bridge solely for Suites passengers', after which he was escorted to his personal suite

Image via cloudfront.net

There was a dedicated jet bridge solely for Suites passengers. Standing at the end of the bridge was a flight attendant ready to greet me. “Good evening Mr Low!” I realized that they would address me by whatever title I chose in my Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer profile. I instantly regretted not going with President Low or Princess Derek.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

I picked the middle suite, which can be merged with the adjacent suite to form a double bed. “Would you like a glass of Dom Pérignon, sir?” And I replied the only acceptable response to such a question: Yes. “Sir, would you like a copy of every newspaper we have onboard today?”

        medium.com

Image via news.com.au

At this point, the crew members, including the Chief Steward of the flight, came out to personally introduce themselves to Derek

Image via cloudfront.net

At this point, the crew members came out to personally introduce themselves to me. Among them was Zaf, who was the Chief Steward of the flight. As it turns out, he’s the guy in the airline’s safety video.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

Zaf told me that there were only three passengers in the 12 Suites, and joked that I could have a bedroom, dining room and living room if I wanted. And so I picked my dining room. Dom Pérignon and Iced Milo in hand, it was time to take off.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

During the flight, Derek was offered Bose headphones to listen to music and films, a Salvatore Ferragamo amenity kit, which included a bottle of cologne, and designer toiletries

Image via cloudfront.net

I took this time to check out what was provided onboard the flight. Headphones from Bose, for example. Salvatore Ferragamo amenity kit, which included a full-sized bottle of cologne. Everything else was Givenchy: blankets, pillows, slippers and pajamas.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

As soon as the plane reached cruising altitude, I was offered another drink. Seeing that it was almost 1 AM and I was just beginning to indulge in the whole suite experience, I decided to order coffee to stay up. I don’t know much about coffee, but I do know the Jamaican Blue Mountain costs a ton. A pound of the Blue Mountain beans sells for $120 at Philz Coffee. So I ordered the Blue Mountain, and was complimented by Zaf. “You have very good taste in coffee, sir.”

        medium.com

Zaf returns with the coffee and tells me about their selection of gourmet coffee, and how the Blue Mountain was “by far the most outstanding”. I unglamorously gulped down the entire cup at once, while pretending to appreciate the finely-balanced traits of the Blue Mountain. I asked him to recommend me a tea, and he quickly brought out a cup of TWG’s Paris-Singapore tea. And then he knelt down next to me as I sampled the tea. He told me about the high quality tea leaves. He told me about the hand-sewn cotton teabags. He told me about the fragant cherry blossoms and red fruits infused into the tea. Somewhere in between, he might have mentioned about the history of coffee trade and the East India Company, but I can’t be sure.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

After speaking to chief steward, Derek discovers that he was joining a number of A-listers, including actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Morgan Freeman, to have flown in the Suites Class

Image via news.com.au

He says that he has been with the airline for 19 years. Within the past three years, he has served Leonardo DiCaprio and Morgan Freeman, in Suites Class. He recommended a movie for me — The Grand Budapest Hotel, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Off the top of his head, he named the actors and talked about how brilliant their performances were.

        medium.com

As I settled in, supper service began. Having stuffed myself with three entrees back in the lounge, I wasn’t particularly hungry so I settled for a five-course supper. For the appetiser I had the Malossol Caviar with Lobster-Fennel Salad. And after clearing the plate in three bites, I asked for a second plate.

        medium.com

Image via cloudfront.net

As the airliner finally landed in New York, Derek said his biggest problem was that he 'didn't want to leave the plane'. He concluded: 'I have to say, after being served Dom Pérignon in a double-suite bedroom at 36,000 feet, I'm not sure flying experiences get any better than this.'

Image via cloudfront.net

As we finally landed at New York, a huge problem presented itself — I didn’t want to leave the plane.I have to say, after being served Dom Pérignon in a double-suite bedroom at 36,000 feet, I’m not sure flying experiences get any better than this.

        medium.com

"But eventually I got off the plane, because New York's not too bad"

Image via cloudfront.net

Meanwhile, here are some photos of Derek fully utilising the double-suite bedroom:

I don’t even know how to express this in words.

I probably need a poet to describe how amazing this was.

A Malaysian-Born Former PDRM Constable Has Just Been Elected As An MP In Australia

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

Meet Bon Cheng Lim, better known as Sam Lim

He was born in Johor, Malaysia in 1961. He migrated to Australia some 40 years later in 2002.The 61-year-old has just scored an unlikely election victory over the Liberal Party of Australia's Ben Morton. He will now be a member of parliament (MP) for Tangney in Perth, representing the Australian Labor Party.Nothing about his life and the subsequent journey, however, had any inclination that this former Johorian, who at one point worked as a dolphin trainer, would go on to be elected an MP in Western Australia.

Sam Lim addressed the Australian media on Sunday morning, 22 May.

One of eight children, Lim grew up in a very poor family in Johor

According to Lim, his childhood home had a leaky roof, dirt floor, and no running water."So we had to struggle for the first 15 years of my life. But that 15 years built me up to today," he said while addressing the Australian media Sunday morning, 22 May.Growing up, he always dreamt of being a cop in Malaysia. And he did, for a while at least."I served for two years as a police constable with the Royal Malaysia Police Force (PDRM)," Lim said, adding that he, however, couldn't survive as one "because the pay (at the time) was so low".Lim's next job was his "best job ever" — that of a dolphin trainer at a safari park."I applied for another job, my best job ever, dolphin trainer. I love it because dolphins are so genuine, dolphins never hurt you. If you feel hurt you jump into the swimming pool and the dolphin will come to you and try to comfort you. If you got angry and you jump into the pool, they run away," he said with a laugh.

			That was the best part of my career.
        Sam Lim

His career as a dolphin trainer, too, came to an end when creditors moved in on the safari park.Describing the mixed emotions he felt when he had to bid farewell to his beloved dolphins, Lim said that it was the worst part of his career at the time, but he was happy that the dolphins were back in their home.

After his brief stints in PDRM and as a dolphin trainer, Lim went on to run several small businesses in Malaysia and achieved success

Attributing his success to his "good karma", Lim said that it was made possible by the people who supported him and eventually enabled him to move to Australia with his wife and three children.As a successful businessman, Lim had planned his retirement at the age of 45. However, he abandoned it when a close friend reminded him of his childhood dream of becoming a police officer.So in 2006, at the age of 45, he joined the Western Australian Police Force.After over a decade in 2020, Lim would go on to be awarded the Police Officer of the Year for his work with multicultural communities during the COVID-19 pandemic."[Being] a police officer is a great job, I love the blue uniform," he said, adding that the job allowed him to "travel all over Western Australia and understand the customs of the state".

Sam Lim won a top police accolade in 2020 for his work with multicultural communities.

Algeria Shuts Down Internet For 2 Hours So Students Can't Cheat In Exams

Algeria cut its Internet nationwide yesterday, 20 June, just to stop students from cheating in high school exams

The Guardian reported that Algeria cut its mobile and fixed Internet connections nationwide for two hours while two school tests were being held.According to Algerian education minister Nouria Benghabrit, devices with Internet access were banned from more than 2,000 exam centres, and metal detectors were set up at the centres' entrances to halt the possibility of students cheating. On top of that, mobile phone jammers and surveillance cameras had been installed at places where exam papers were printed to prevent questions from being leaked.

Public operator Algerie Telecom said the Internet blackout was in compliance with instructions from the Algerian government

"(The blackout is) aimed at ensuring the high school diploma tests run smoothly," the operator was quoted as saying by The Guardian.Furthermore, president of the telecoms association AOTA, Ali Kahlane also confirmed that Algerian operators were required to comply with the government's demands.Blackouts have been scheduled until next Monday, 25 June while 700,000 students take their exams.

While authorities claimed that the move is to prevent cheating in exams, some see it as a step towards tougher online censorship in Algeria

Algeria's communications minister Houda-Imane Feraoun recently said that the blackouts will stop students from sharing information on social media.
Image via Middle East Eye

Middle East Eye reported on 18 June that the blackouts are seen as efforts to restrict Algerians' Internet access ahead of the presidential elections in 2019. Many websites are no longer accessible within the country, including Siwel and Radio Kalima. Algeria's main news site Tout sur l'Algerie (TSA) was also inaccessible for weeks in 2017.Just last month, the conviction of an Algerian blogger, Merzoug Touati for his online posts was criticised by human rights watchdog Amnesty International for quelling dissent in the country. Merzoug was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined DZD50,000 (approximately RM1,700) over his interview with an Israeli diplomat. Middle East Eye reported that he was found guilty of providing "intelligence to agents of a foreign power".

Nike Stops Production of Tattoo Tights. What Happened?

Nike stops sportswear inspired by Samoan tattoos, apologizes

NIKE halted production on a line of sportswear on Wednesday after an outcry that the designs were culturally insensitive.

        malaysiandigest.com

Image via runista.co.uk

The women's running tights, bodysuit, and sports bra in the Nike Pro Tattoo Tech line were decorated with a pattern based on Samoan tattoos called pe'a, which are traditionally reserved for men.

        yahoo.com

As of Thursday morning, the apparel was still pictured on the Nike website but listed as unavailable

        malaysiandigest.com

the company issued a written statement Wednesday afternoon saying, "The Nike tattoo tech collection was inspired by tattoo graphics. We apologize to anyone who views this design as insensitive to any specific culture. No offense was intended."

        livejournal.com

Traditional Samoan Pe'a

What the people are saying about it

"Before you launch into something like this, there's generally a consultation with those…who have ownership of this pattern," New Zealand Labour MP Su'a William Sio told TVNZ. "I don't think Nike has taken the time to do that."

        malaysiandigest.com

"To the outside world it's just a design," a commenter, Freddie Ika, wrote on a Change.org petition that was launched on August 2 to protest the sale of the items. "But to my Polynesian people, it's sacred.

        livejournal.com

Another comment read, "I am 100% Samoan and I find Nike's blatant disrespect and profit over my culture's way of life shameless and irreverent. The tatau is thousands of years old with a tradition of honor and you have reduced it to $80 Spanx. Remove at once!"

        yahoo.com

What is Pe'a?

The Pe'a is the popular name of the traditional male tattoo of Samoa, which was originally called the malofie, a term used in the Samoan language chiefly vocabulary and 'respect' register

        wikipedia.org

The Polynesian tradition of applying tattoos is thought to go back at least 2,000 years. The craft is passed from father to son, and artists still use sharpened boar's teeth and pieces of turtle shell fastened to a wooden handle to prick the design into the skin.

        yahoo.com

The pe'a covers the body from waist to the rectum and then to knees. The word tattoo in the English language is believed to have originated from the Polynesian word tatau.

        yahoo.com

The process is extremely painful and can take days — even months — to complete. It's a rite of passage that symbolizes courage and a commitment to traditional ways. The word tattoo is believed to be derived from the Samoan "tatau."

5 Spooky Karak Highway Urban Legends That Will Haunt You...

Karak Highway is notoriously known as the haunted highway of Malaysia

Image via google.com

The Karak Highway that connects Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands is one of the creepiest highways in Malaysia. Its dark, long, windy and accident-prone roads have attracted a host of ghost stories that send shivers down the spine of motorists who drive by

Karak Highway was first built in 1970 and first opened to the public in 1977. This highway connects Kuala Lumpur to Karak and about 60.0 km away. This highway has a pair of tunnels in the famous resort of Genting Highlands. Among the most popular is an accident on January 20, 1990, in which 17 people were killed, including 11 people when FRU member suffered collision between a vehicle with a truck, a bus and 10 cars.

        blogspot.com

Many creepy sightings and ghost stories have been said about Karak Highway. These are the few that have remained on the minds of Malaysians:

1. The family car that broke down by the highway

Image via ariefzainal.com

It was the festive season and just like any other Malaysian, a young couple and their baby were travelling on the Karak Highway at night headed home. Everything was fine until they reached a lonely stretch on the highway and their car broke down. The husband was surprised; he made sure to service the car before their 'balik kampung' trip. He stopped the car by the side of the road to check the engine while his wife and baby waited inside. He tried fixing the car, but nothing worked. And so he waited, hoping a kind samaritan would stop and offer them help. It is balik kampung season after all, there should be cars passing by.

However, 20 minutes passed and there was not a soul to be seen. As it was getting late, he only choice he had left was to go to the nearest phone booth to call for help. He was worried, but he had no choice but to leave his family waiting alone in the car. "Lock the doors and take care," he told his wife before leaving. She watched as he walked away, trying to ignore her worries.

Minutes passed and soon hours, but her husband was still gone. She waited and waited. Suddenly, a police patrol car approached her. Two policemen got out of the car and walked towards her vehicle. They told her to quietly step out of the vehicle and stressed that she should not look around while she did so. The wife carried her baby and walked with the policemen. When she was at a safe distance, she looked back at her car and blood drained from her face. Her husband's bodiless head was lying on top of the car. Other versions say her husband was headless on the car, with a banshee-like creature feasting on him. It had banged on the car roof. She did not hear a thing.

2. The mysterious yellow Volkswagen

Image via blogspot.com

Have you seen the yellow Volkswagen on the Karak Highway? Many motorists reported meeting this ghostly car, only at night. It was said that the yellow Volkswagen will block your lane. First it will move very slowly, forcing you to overtake it. Once you have overtaken it and continue moving along, you wil notice the same yellow Volkswagen in front of your. It'll drive very slowly, once again challenging you to overtake it. Overtake it again, and after a short while you will see the same yellow Volkswagen driving slowly in front of you. As long as you keep overtaking this car, you see it in front of you again, ang again, and again.

They say if you look closely in the car, you would notice that there is no one in the driver's seat. If you see the yellow Volkswagen on the Karak Highway, it's best not to overtake it as it will keep reappearing in front of you, potentially luring you into an accident. If you are lucky, it would speed up and disappear into the darkness.

3. The lost school boy

Image via google.com

If you see a school boy wandering on the side of the dark and lonely highway, looking lost and desolated, be careful. The boy would be looking for his mother, asking "Have you seen my mother?" over and over again.

As the legend goes, there was once an accident that involved a young boy and his mother. The mother, who was driving, was flung out of the car on impact while the son remained in the passenger's seat. The windscreen and glass pierced into his eyes. He lost his mother, and until today, it is said that he is still wandering the highway in search of his mama.

4. The flying pontianak

Image via blogspot.com

There have been  sightings of a pontianak flying on the highway at night. The pontianak is believed to be a woman who had died of childbirth and harbors immense hatred and anger. She preys on men and is said to tear their organs apart. Pontianak could come in the form of a beautiful young woman in white to seduce the men.Some motorists claimed to have seen a beautiful woman on the highway who could sometimes make heads turn  and she could be by the side of the road, asking for a lift. No one really knows whether it involves a ghost, or an actual murderer. Whatever it is,when you are traveling along Karak highway,don't stop for any chance.The best don't travel alone or at night.

        blogspot.com

5. The call to the radio station

Image via blogspot.com

One night, a local radio station received a chilling call from a listener. The deejay listened attentively as the man on the line told his story. He said he was driving on the highway and met with a horrible accident. His car fell down a ravine by the highway. In the car with him were his mother, father, wife and children. He sounded depressed, speaking of how he saw his family members die. The saddest thing, he said, was that he saw himself die. Then, the line went dead. The radio deejay tried calling back, but to no avail. He and most of the radio listeners, brushed it off as a prank call.

On the very next day, newspapers reported that there was an accident at the very same location where the man on the line had mentioned. A car fell into the ravine by the Karak Highway, a couple, their parents and children all died in the crash. The details matched the story told by the mysterious man.

Legend says the radio deejay rushed back to the office to listen to the recording of that call, but all that was left on the tape was eerie silence.


An Elderly Woman Was Allegedly Charmed And Scammed Of All Her Life Savings By A PJ Man

An elderly woman was allegedly scammed out of all of her life savings at a morning market in Section 17, Petaling Jaya

In a Facebook post on 29 March, her daughter Nancy Tan, related her mum's unfortunate incident.The post has since received over 467 shares at the time of writing.

Nancy's mum was doing her usual morning grocery shopping when she was approached by a "smartly dressed" young man in braces and a young girl by his side

"The 'nice' man spoke in Mandarin, introduced himself as Alan, and gave her an angpow," she wrote in the post.Inside the envelope, Nancy's mum found RM200 cash reward. "When Alan handed her the cash, he told her of an exciting new investment scheme endorsed by Bank Negara and RHB that would pay 10x investment returns," she added.Alan then showed the victim happy photos of people on his phone who had made the investment. He promised that she could do the same, but must invest in cash by the end of the day because the promotion was for a "limited period".

Alan and a 'security guard' then followed the victim as she drove to several banks where she withdrew all of her fixed deposit savings prematurely

It was believed that Alan told her she would earn back the interest from the early withdrawal using the investment scheme."From OCBC to Public Bank, Alliance, and Hong Leong Bank, she withdrew all her FD accounts."Alan was by her side at every bank and some of the tellers showed concern by asking her reason for the withdrawal and in such large sums of cash."She told them it was for a renovation and Alan had reminded her to say that he was her grandson who was there to help her if anyone asked," Nancy explained.

Her mum then said that she started to feel tired, as she had not eaten breakfast. So at around 3pm, the 'guard' went to buy her a pau.

By the end of the day, the victim had collected a stack of withdrawal slips with huge sums of cash piled in plastic bags.And at around 5pm, Alan then directed her to the last stop - RHB branch in Sea Park. He told her that he would proceed to deposit her cash, and "took with him one of her bank slips to prove to the bank that she was the account holder.""By then she was extremely weak and exhausted... the moment Alan took the cash and walked away, she vomited," wrote Nancy.

Tired and waiting in her car, Nancy's mum closed her eyes to rest. However, when she opened her eyes, the 'guard' and Alan had not returned.

"He did not give her his contact number so she couldn't call him and waited a bit more hoping that he would return.""We took her to make a police report that night and also went to see the Investigating Officer to give him every detail. We are hopeful the banks' CCTVs have captured an image of this [email protected]$%#*d," she wrote.

Nancy ended her post by saying that she believed her mum might have been put under a spell

"Whether it was the angpow she opened, or some charm spread by this guy, we would never understand what compelled her to trust this stranger completely," she added."We are only thankful that she is not physically harmed. Please warn your folks. I believe they strike in communities where senior citizens congregate."

HK Store Refunds RM18K & Apologises To Family Involved In Smashed Golden Teletubby Statue

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

A couple in Hong Kong was forced to pay HKD33,600 (about RM18,800) after a toy store claimed that their son kicked an expensive item on display, causing it to smash into pieces

According to Hong Kong Free Press, the father, Cheng, recounted the incident on Commercial Radio on the morning of 24 May.Cheng and his family had visited KK Plus, a designer toy store in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, two days prior.He recalled that he was taking a phone call outside of the store when he suddenly heard a loud smash. He walked back in to find his son standing over a giant golden Teletubby figure that had fallen and broken into pieces.

"My son was motionless. He was staring down, looking at the toy," Cheng said.The father said that KK Plus staff then told him and his wife that their son was seen kicking the Teletubby toy and asked them to pay for it.He agreed as he thought it was really his son's fault and ended up paying HKD33,600 instead of the actual retail price of  HKD52,800 (about RM29,543).Before it shattered to pieces, the golden-coloured Teletubby figure stood at 1.8m tall on display.

The incident has sparked widespread debate on social media over who was really at fault, with netizens accusing KK Plus of scamming the father

Then a video of the incident started circulating online.The video shows Cheng's son leaning slightly against the toy before it tips over and smashes to the ground. Cheng then realised that his son was wrongly accused.People online also questioned  why the store had not cordoned off the fragile toy to prevent people getting close to it.KK Plus said that since last November, the Teletubby figure has been in the same spot and that it "had not brought any inconvenience to customers".

Amidst the online backlash, KK Plus gave the family a full refund and apologised for causing the inconvenience

KK Plus is operated by Kidsland International Holdings Limited, a listed toy retailer and distributor in China.The store's manager admitted in an interview with HK01 that the store had not taken enough precautionary steps. He added that the store has also removed all toys that are over one metre tall and would conduct a review for the future.

Someone Found A Separate "Malay Canteen" Behind This Public School In Melaka

A smaller canteen with a sign that reads "Kantin Melayu" was recently revealed to exist behind the main canteen of SMK St. Francis, Melaka

The Malaysian Insight reported yesterday, 25 November, that a reader disclosed the information to the news portal.

Image via The Malaysian Insight

A canteen operator from the school told The Malaysian Insight that the extra canteen has existed for 10 years

He claimed that many schools have practiced this two-canteen policy, with the exception of Malay schools. "Even though we apply for Halal license also they don't want," he said, adding that he had employed a Malay cook in the past whom they did not want as well."The plates and forks are different for both canteens," said one of the students from the school. "When you return the plates, it's also separate. Malay canteen on the right and Chinese canteen on the left. So [that] they don't wash together," he revealed, according to the report.

SMK St. Francis' second canteen is reportedly run by a Muslim operator from the main canteen

This is the sign that was spotted in the school:

Following this news, many leaders and netizens have ridiculed the two-canteen policy for it even being a practice in a multicultural nation like Malaysia

"Schools should be where children learn about unity and integration, and should not promote segregation," said Malacca Action Group for Parents in Education (Magpie) chairman Mak Chee Kin, as reported by The Malaysian Insight.Lawyer and activist Siti Kasim also took to Twitter revealing that she recently discovered that her own school had a separate canteen."This is happening in my own old school.  MGSS in Melaka.  I was shocked to know about this when I recently had a reunion there.  If you don't believe segregation between us is critical, this is just one [instance]," she wrote.

Image via Facebook

Meanwhile, Melaka State Education Department director Abu Bakar Saharim claimed that the separate canteens in schools has nothing to do with racial segregation

According to Abu Bakar, two canteens provided are to allow students to have "more choices.""Why not have separate canteens? It only gives the pupils more choices. This has nothing to do with segregation of races," he said, adding that, "This has been going on for a long time, why pick on it now? It is a non-issue.""But if this becomes viral, we will get a directive from above," he was quoted as saying by The Malaysian Insight.


PDRM Launches A Formal Investigation Against Local Anti-Vaxxer On Twitter

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

A local anti-vaxxer on Twitter is being investigated by Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) after the Ministry of Health (MOH) lodged a report

MOH lodged the police report yesterday, 9 October, a day after Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin took to his official Twitter account to call out the owner behind the Twitter handle @Khalids, who allegedly has been spreading fake news against the COVID-19 vaccination programme in Malaysia for months now.According to a MOH spokesperson, the report against @khalids involves the circulation of a list of school teachers who recently died. The anti-vaxxer claims that they died due to the COVID-19 vaccine.The tweet containing the list, still accessible on his Twitter account at the time of writing, has personal details such as the names of the teachers, their schools, date of their vaccinations, and death.The investigation is being conducted under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defamation, Section 505 (c) of the Penal Code for intent to incite or which is likely to incite any class or community of persons to commit any offence against any other class or community of persons."The account owner is also being investigated under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for misusing network facilities," said Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Seri Abd Jalil Hassan.

Abd Jalil noted that @khalids has alleged that 41 teachers died due to the COVID-19 vaccine and that his tweet received various reactions

According to Abd Jalil, police received a report lodged by MOH on the fake news posted on 8 October."The tweet received 52 retweets, 1,168 quote tweets and 70 likes. It received various feedback and reactions from social media users," he added.A check by SAYS showed that the said tweet has since garnered more engagement.

He reminded the public to be wary of those who attempt to use the social media platforms to disseminate unverified information

"We will take stern action against anyone who blatantly disrupts public order and safety," he said.

What No One Is Telling You About Mark Zuckerberg Donating 99% Of His Fortune To "Charity"

By now you must have heard that Mark Zuckerberg along with his wife Priscilla Chan has pledged to give away 99% of his estimated USD45 billion in Facebook stock to charity. Basically, Mark is giving away enough money to fund one of the world's biggest charities for the next 45 years. Instead, he is funding his own. Here's how:

The vehicle for his beneficence will be the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative LLC, a family-run foundation that he controls and through which he will maintain control of Facebook for "the foreseeable future."Which basically means:Mark Zuckerberg will transfer ownership of his Facebook stock without paying capital gains taxes. He will also benefit from the possibility that his foundation will live beyond him, with his heirs and their heirs at the helm, untouched by estate taxes.

Image via Facebook

A Facebook PR, while confirming to BuzzFeed News, said that the initiative is structured as an LLC, and not as a charitable trust

Which means that unlike a charitable trust, which is compelled to spend its money on charity, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, LLC will be able to spend its money on whatever it wants, including private, profit-generating investment.

While charity will certainly be one of the money’s destinations, it will be far from the only one. The money, according to a Facebook SEC filing, will go to “philanthropic, public advocacy, and other activities for the public good.”One such activity: private investment. A Facebook release this afternoon stated as much.“The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative will pursue its mission by funding non-profit organizations, making private investments and participating in policy debates, in each case with the goal of generating positive impact in areas of great need,” it said. “Any profits from investments in companies will be used to fund additional work to advance the mission.”

        buzzfeed.com

One more thing about his pledge:

The Facebook founder is not giving away 99% of his Facebook shares all at once. He will be doing it over the course of the rest of his life.

Also, Michael Maiello points out in this Daily Beast piece:

Mark will deduct the fair value of his gift to his foundation from his taxable income in the year he makes the donation. A donor like Mark could realize a tax benefit equal to about one-third of the value of his gift. In this case, he stands to benefit as much as USD333 million, based on the USD1 billion he plans as his first transfer.

Rather than give to existing nonprofits, Mark is doing what other business leaders have recently done. Increasingly siphoning their fortune into their own organisations and this can be problematic.
Alexander C. Kaufman of The Huffington Post explains how:

The desire for control leaves the massive pool of money set aside for charities -- about $358 billion in the U.S. last year -- divvied between the roughly 1.5 million nonprofits registered in this country. Creating a new organization every time a company or wealthy individual wants to foster change only shrinks the available slices of that pie.

        huffingtonpost.com

Image via CHARITY NAVIGATOR

“Just because you were successful in the for-profit world doesn’t mean that nonprofits are a bunch of bleeding-heart idiots that need you to come in and show them how it’s done,” Ken Berger, the managing director of the social-good data service Algorhythm, told The Huffington Post in October. He previously ran the nonprofit watchdog Charity Navigator. “We have one of the most complex and sophisticated nonprofit sectors ever seen. Partnering with others is the best approach.”That last part is key.

        huffingtonpost.com

To sum up, his money is not going to a charity, but to his own LLC, which will let him evade tax by moving his private assets into a foundation. See, Zuckerberg doesn't need massive tax benefits to do whatever he wants. He can just do whatever he wants.

But he will get those tax benefits and estate planning benefits and he will be able to give up his stock while holding onto power over his company.As Michael Maiello in his Daily Beast piece reveals, "when we pay people like Zuckerberg to fund their own foundations, we are really helping the rich and coddled few even as we thank and honor them for their charity."

UPDATE 4 DECEMBER:

                Mark Zuckerberg Says His New Foundation Is Not A Way To Avoid Taxes

The Facebook CEO says there's nothing negative about the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

Read the full story

Additionally, as Anil Dash writes in his Medium piece, it's necessary to be critical of Mark's philanthropic efforts, both past and present, to ensure that this pledge of USD45 billion is put to good use

That is because the default dispensation of the money will be to waste it.For example, Zuckerberg donated $100 million to Newark schools to almost no effect, in a gift that was revealed to have been explicitly managed by Sheryl Sandberg to be timed to offset the negative publicity surrounding the release of the movie The Social Network.Given that track record, our default assumption should be that this is a similar move, though obviously this announcement being coupled to the birth of their daughter makes such assumptions seem churlish or rude.

        medium.com

Mark made the announcement for the pledge on Facebook together with his wife Chan. They recently gave birth to their daughter Max.
