The Problem With Young Malaysian Graduates According To Hiring Managers

They may score good grades for English, but have poor to no grasp of the English language coupled with abysmal communication skills

According to Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) Executive Director, Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan, while school graduates might have SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) English grades of A and B, they can't even hold a conversation in English.He cited a survey from a few years ago among MEF's members which had found that 60% of them identified low English proficiency as the main problem with young recruits."The inability to converse and understand English (among young school leavers) is a constant complaint among our members," Shamsuddin told The Malaysian Insider.

And it's not just Shamsuddin, KL-born Christopher Raj, who is the President of the Association of Hotel Employers (AHE), echoes his concern. He said that out of 10 job applicants in the hospitality sector, 8 or 9 could not speak English."The problem is bad not only among school leavers but also graduates from our local universities. You ask them in English and they answer in Bahasa Malaysia," said Christopher, who has been in the hotel industry for more than 33 years.In fact, a survey in September 2013 by JobStreet.com found that a staggering 55% of senior managers and companies said that poor command of the English language was the main reason for unemployment among undergraduates.

The second problem, according to Christopher, who is also the board member of the MEF Academy, is that employees in their 20s not only cannot handle stress well, they can't work themselves up from the bottom despite being impatient to get to the top

"Graduates these days come from colleges and immediately want to become managers, without even any experience. You can't scold them and they can't handle stress," Christopher was quoted as saying by The Malaysian Insider.

In fact, surveys among employers and trade groups in Malaysia have also revealed that these "Gen Y recruits" are simply not impressed with job benefits like medical insurance and bonuses

Instead, they want instant cash rewards. And in their preference for immediate performance-based cash rewards, these Gen Y recruits fail to see the long-term job benefits, something that the previous generations truly valued."Recruits in their 20s, the so-called generation Y, are restless compared with their elders. They have their eyes on the now instead of the future. They are less attracted to benefits such as annual bonuses, medical benefits, retirement. In fact, they want annual bonuses portioned out on a monthly basis," Datuk Shamsuddin said.

The other, and a more pertinent problem, according to a 2015 survey is that fresh graduates have unrealistic salary expectations

On the other hand, a school education group called Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) believes that Malaysia's flip-flopping education policy is encouraging these attitudes among job-seekers

This damning indictment of young job-seekers' attitudes is in large part due to the education policy in previous years that reduced the importance of the English language.According to a report in The New York Times, the Malaysian Government abandoned the Policy of Teaching Science and Mathematics in English (PPSMI) in July 2009, saying that it had failed to improve student grades. Instead, it decided to revert to using Bahasa Malaysia to teach science and maths 2012 onwards.The Policy of Teaching Science and Mathematics in English (PPSMI) was introduced in January 2003. The decision to abandon it proved disruptive to students.The decision was mainly due to the months of lobbying by Malay nationalists and was largely viewed as a political decision by local commentators, the NYT report said.

In fact, PAGE argues that this flip-flopping of policies has created a "lost generation" of young adults whose command over English is weaker than previous generations and who will miss the changes in schools that will benefit future generations."Which is why we were excited when the government decided to teach mathematics and science in English (PPSMI), as we felt this could boost their command of English. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after seven years when we should have allowed it to continue for 14 to 15 years to see the results," said PAGE Chairman Datin Noor Azimah."Proficiency in any language is about practising. PPSMI created more opportunities for students to practise," Noor Azimah added.PAGE has campaigned for the government to allow schools to continue the PPSMI.

How A Security Guard's Leave Request Went Viral And Earned Him A Free Trip To Las Vegas

Greg Heaslip, a security guard for the Arcadia Group, the UK retail giant behind brands such as Burton, Topshop and Dorothy Perkins felt like some time off. So he put in a leave request to his line manager.

Image via econsultancy.com

Nothing unusual so far - except that when his line manager discussed Greg's request with others, the email was inadvertently sent to thousands of Arcadia Group employees. And that is when social media whirred into action.

        econsultancy.com

While he slept blissfully unaware at home, the emails swiftly became a Twitter trend when a colleague started a campaign with the hashtag #GiveGregTheHoliday

Image via imgur.com

An Arcadia employee, Kimberly Jaina, seems to have been the first to get onto Twitter and use the hashtag #GiveGregTheHoliday. Within minutes, others were using the hashtag. "Mayhem in the office," one person tweeted. "Does anyone know if Greg's holiday has been approved? Edge of my seat here!" said another.

        bbc.com

Interest in Greg's holiday inside Arcadia Group was so fevered that #GiveGregTheHoliday became a top trend in the UK, out-trending the EU elections all morning

And that is when the marketing started. Companies tried to put their messages across using the hashtag. Trek America, deciding that this was in line with the brand’s ‘spirit of adventure’, it quickly made the decision to offer Greg a free adventure holiday in the US, flights included: "We're taking action and have decided to #givegregtheholiday. A TrekAmerica mini adventure with flights to Vegas. #GregGotTheHoliday!"

        econsultancy.com

In the wake of their offer, other brands were quick to join in. TopMan, Miss Selfridge, BHS, Burton Menswear and more offered free additions to help Greg enjoy his trip:

And the freebies didn't stop there. After Trek America offered him a free holiday, they even got a T-shirt made up to celebrate the occasion

VO5 also got in on the action, offering hair products and promising: 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'

VO5 were also quick to jump on the bandwagon, offering Greg freebies
Image via dailymail.co.uk

So did Greg get his leave approved after the social media campaign?

His employers, Arcadia Group, have told BBC Trending that despite the mail sent around implying he wouldn't get any holiday, this was sent in error and he would be getting his leave after all. "The holiday request had actually already been approved on the system and Greg will get his holiday!" they said.

        bbc.com

Greg could not be reached by media houses and he may not actually know much about what has happened

Image via dailymail.co.uk

"Greg works nights," say his employers, "so we are not totally sure as to when today he became aware of the interest in him and his holiday." As the freebies started rolling in, the hashtag changed to #GregGotTheHoliday and even #WakeUpGreg as Twitter users eagerly waited for the security guard to realise what had happened.

They feed mainly on fruits and occasionally, on small animals such as birds, reptiles and insects. This result in captive civets being malnourished; many suffer from fur loss, pass blood out in their faeces and will eventually die.

Time reports on kopi luwak.

In the past 10 years, kopi luwak has won the hearts — and wallets — of global consumers. A cup sells for $30 to $100 in New York City and London, while 1 kg of roasted beans can fetch as much as $130 in Indonesia and five times more overseas.

The ultimate in caffeine bling is civet coffee packed in a Britannia-silver and 24-carat gold-plated bag, sold at the British department store Harrods for over $10,000. The justification for these exorbitant prices? A claim that kopi luwak is sourced from wild animals and that only 500 kg of it is collected annually. The claim is largely nonsense.

Hands of Hope is a voluntary project established in January 2014 by three students from UCSI University, who were under the UCSI Scholars' Circle (U-Schos). The organisation mainly works with the marginalised communities, empowering them through education and equipping them with life skills in order for them to survive here. The organisation also gave birth to Picha Project, a social enterprise which empowers marginalised communities in Malaysia through a sustainable food catering and delivery business. Refuge For The Refugees was started by a group of 18-year-old Malaysians. It kicked off as a project in June 2012 to help the Chin Children's Education Centre (CCEC) stay open as the school lacked the necessary funding to continue providing education to children from underprivileged communities. Today, the organisation supports 35 schools - 10 across Malaysia and 25 across Myanmar - as they continue to raise awareness on the importance of education for marginalised children. The Good Tavern, on the other hand, is a student-run marketplace/platform that works with social enterprises striving to make a difference in the world. Working hand-in-hand with a number of initiatives and businesses, they basically curate products such as food, lifestyle goods, fashion items, and furniture, with every intention of ensuring economic quality and enhancing social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

What will the conference be about?

Information Dept Says News That "Instils Hatred Towards The Ruling Govt" Is Fake News

A public service announcement posted on the Information Department's official Twitter account has defined news that is critical and "instils hatred towards the ruling government" as fake news

The announcement/advisory, titled "The Impact Of Spreading Fake News", cautioned that such reporting could cause "distrust in the ruling government and its leaders" given the current COVID-19 pandemic.While citing CyberSecurity Malaysia as its source, JPM also defined "defaming the reputation of an individual, an organisation, and a nation" as fake news saying that it "sparks confusion and worry within the community as well as affects the sensitivity of the said individual, organisation, and country".

Penyebaran berita palsu mungkin nampak remeh bagi sesetengah pihak, namun impaknya amatlah besar jika penularannya tidak terkawal terutamanya ketika musim wabak #COVID19 kiniSumber: @cybersecuritymy#FasihDigital#DudukRumah#StayHome#JabatanPenerangan#TidakPastiJanganKongsi pic.twitter.com/cgFqj1KomM— Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia (@JPenerangan) April 10, 2020

In other definitions that can be considered as possible fake news, the department said these are reports about country's "infrastructure and critical information", news on "extremist beliefs", report that "touches racial and religious sensitivities", and news that "contains elements of pornography, gambling, and fraud".

The advisory comes amidst a Twitter spat between Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and CNA's Malaysia Bureau Chief, Melissa Goh

Ismail Sabri, who is also one of the four Senior Ministers in Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's Cabinet, has accused Melissa of having "bad intentions" for her tweet about one of his statements.In her tweet on 8 April, Melissa wrote, "No food for migrant workers in buildings under lockdown due to COVID-19. Malaysia minister says it's not the government's responsibility."Her report was based on the Defence Minister's press brief on Wednesday, in which he said that "migrants in our country are the responsibility of their respective embassies."According to Ismail, migrants can purchase essentials by placing orders at the operations centre.However, he later tweeted to deny that he ever said "no food for migrant workers under lockdown".

I also stated, alternatively we can help them by buying food through the operation center which had been set up in those two buildings.— Ismail Sabri (@IsmailSabri60) April 9, 2020

The Defence Minister has since doubled-down

In his press briefing on Saturday, 11 April, Ismail said that stern action will be taken against online media portals that publish "confusing and inaccurate" articles regarding government statements.While not taking any names during his press briefing, he said recently there have been many news reports involving official statements from the government which were inaccurate and unverified."We have been reading a lot of news coming from online media portals that publish incorrect and untrue news. Especially when it comes to official statements from the government," he said."We take serious note of these actions because untrue, inaccurate, and misleading news can confuse the public, and cause the rakyat to worry. We decided in our meeting this morning that MCMC and also the police will take stern action on news portals that broadcast and publish confusing (and) inaccurate news."

Image via New Straits Times

Meanwhile, the JPM advisory on fake news has come under scrutiny from PKR's Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament (MP), Fahmi Fadzil

Fahmi took to his official Facebook page to question the basis under which the department has defined news that is critical of the ruling government and its leaders as possible fake news.He also asked, "which Act is the reference for determining what is "fake news" here?""Is the government saying we can no longer comment or be enraged when a minister says 'air suam' can help kill the COVID-19 virus?," he asked while referring to Health Minister Dr Adham Baba's misleading claim that drinking warm water can kill the coronavirus because it "doesn't like heat".Dr Adham's claim, which he made during an interview on RTM, received widespread ridicule.

He highlighted recent decisions from the government that came under fire, asking if people's criticism them can be considered fake news

First, it was the Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin, who received criticism from several health experts over a publicity stunt she pulled by wasting personal protective equipment (PPEs).Then came the Higher Education Minister Dr Noraini Ahmad, who launched a TikTok competition to encourage people to stay home during the Movement Control Order (MCO)."Or if when there are graphics released by the government that invites wives to address their husbands while mimicking the voice of Doraemon?" the opposition politician said in reference to the Ministry of Women, Family, and Community Development's sexist and misogynistic tips for women.According to Fahmi, while the people are with the government in this fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, "we all also want to speak up when there is a need to speak. Doing so is not fake news."

Back in March, Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff received flak for saying that female flight attendants should wear shariah-compliant attire:

These Disinfecting Wipes Will Keep Your Surroundings Squeaky Clean From 99.9% Of Germs

If there's anything this pandemic has taught us, it's that sanitation goes a loooong way in keeping us safe from diseases and viruses

Image via Pinterest

Like the rest of the world, Malaysians have become much more vigilant in practising cleanliness, whether it's bringing sanitisers everywhere we go, washing our hands at every chance we get, or even having a better mandi routine - all for the sake of protecting ourselves and the ones around us from harm. However, while we've been keeping ourselves germ-free, germs can pretty much be found on many different surfaces when we're outside, and even in our homes. Sometimes, they can even be found on places you'd least expect. For instance, did you know that there are more germs on your phone, tablet, keyboard, countertops, knobs, door handles, switches, and remote controls compared to your toilet seat? :O

Image via Ellen Blogs

Since germs are invisible to the naked eye, it's especially difficult for children to discern between a clean surface and a germ-infested one. That's why it's our responsibility to disinfect our surroundings as much as we can, not only to minimise our contact with bacteria, but with viruses as well.

Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes are just what you need for professional disinfection at home and on the go!

Jawi To Launch New Al-Quran Disposal Centre In Bukit Jalil

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

There's a special way to dispose of the quran if the pages or covers of the sacred text are damaged and you can't read them thoroughly.
To ensure that copies of the holy book are disposed of properly, the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (JAWI) plans to build a new Al-Quran disposal facility in Kuala Lumpur.

According to Bernama, JAWI director Datuk Mohd Ajib Ismail said the Darul Kalam Al-Quran Disposal Centre in Raudhatul Sakinah, Taman Sakinah, can only dispose of 150kg of damaged or destroyed copies of the quran in a day.Mohd Ajib stated that the new disposal centre in Bukit Jalil will enable copies of the the quran to be disposed of at a rate that is three times higher than the current rate, which is up to around half a tonne per day using modern technology."If it is approved and there is an allocation, the disposal process will be faster because we have done it with several parties, and it uses more advanced technology, not done manually," Mohd Ajib said at an event yesterday, 30 November."As of now, (the construction of the disposal centre) is still in the works, and we will inform higher authorities to obtain budget approval and other necessary approvals."

The damaged Al-Quran was disposed of with advanced technology.
Image via Bernama

For context, there is actually a recommended way to dispose of the quran

According to Mohd Ajib, citing the 30th National Fatwa Committee meeting’s recommendation, it was suggested on 22 August 1992 that the damaged the quran should be burned, buried, or dumped in the middle of the sea where the water flows.

Image via Bernama

Yesterday, a total of 6.8 tonnes of blocks of ashes that were once copies of the quran were brought onboard the MVPEDOMAN to be disposed of in the middle of the ocean

Mohd Ajib revealed that more than 30,800kg of the quran were sent for disposal 12 nautical miles from Port Klang. They were damaged or destroyed by floods in Pahang and Selangor last year, while some copies were sent by other parties.This programme was a collaboration between the Federal Territories Mufti's office, the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp), the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), and the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP).


Police Arrest Man And His Fiancée For Threatening To Leak A Young Woman's Nude Photos

A young couple in Selangor was recently arrested for threatening to leak a woman's nude photos

Harian Metro reported that the arrests were made during two separate raids at Sungai Buloh and Sea Park.

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said that the two suspects, aged 22 and 23 years old, were found to have previously extorted a 22 year-old-woman on 31 May.

Image via Harian Metro

The suspects demanded RM1,000 from the victim in order to stop her nude photos from being circulated

The victim then transferred RM300 and RM400 to two separate bank accounts, as reported by Harian Metro."On 1 June, the victim filed a police report regarding the incident. Investigations found that the victim had sent nude photos to her then-boyfriend. However, her ex-boyfriend's phone has been missing since March," said Nik Ezanee.He added that the male suspect is a friend of the ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, the other woman arrested is the suspect's fiancée. "The suspect used his fiancée's account for the bank transaction," he said.

The case is being investigated under Section 384 of the Penal Code for extortion

According to Burgie Law, if found guilty, the suspects are liable to be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten years or with fine or with whipping or with any two of such punishments.

This New Cosy Café In A Quiet Bangsar Housing Area Is The Ultimate Peaceful Hideout

Sometimes, all you need is to enjoy a cup of coffee in a peaceful nook, and this new café in Bangsar provides exactly that

Image via @conniesimplelife (Instagram)

Tucked away in a quiet housing area along Jalan Limau Manis, Bangsar is a house-turned-café called CCC Limau Manis.Having opened only recently by the guys behind CCC, CCC Kantata, and CCC el cuarto, this space is the perfect hideout for catchups over coffee and cake.

Set up in a homey space, CCC Limau Manis is pretty much a typical Bangsar terrace home, surrounded by lots of greenery and beautiful creepers that trail its brick walls

As you enter the home, you will be greeted by steps that lead to a patio with terrazzo flooring, lots of plants, and indoor and outdoor seating areas with a coffee bar in the centre.If you're lucky, you might even spot an oyen or two kitties chilling by their glass windows.

While the café's name stands for Coffee, Choc, & Chai, it also serves several cakes, such as burnt cheesecake balanced with honey and sea salt and orange butter cake, that feed the soul as much as they do the tummy.From inside of the café, it's easy to avoid seeing the outside world, except for the large trees and plants that surround the home.

It truly is a soothing escape and place of refuge for the weary soul

“Anak Tolak Makan, Nak Susu Je” - Ini 5 Kesan Bahaya Untuk Mereka Di Kemudian Hari

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Apabila sudah masuk ke fasa makan, pastinya anak kita akan mula menunjukkan pelbagai ragam mereka betul tak?

Image via GIPHY

Bukan senang untuk memastikan anak menghabiskan makanan di depan mata mereka. Iyalah, selama ini mereka hanya minum susu saja. Jadi, sudah tentu agak sukar untuk mereka menerima tekstur baru di dalam mulut.Walaupun mereka mengelak untuk makan, ibu bapa tidak seharusnya merasakan itu tidak memberikan kesan di kemudian hari dan hanya memberikan susu saja.Sebenarnya, terdapat beberapa kesan bahaya untuk anak jika mereka terlalu bergantung kepada susu dan tidak mahu makan langsung.Jom kami kongsikan antara 5 bahaya jika anak hanya minum susu tanpa mengambil makanan lain di bawah:

1. Lewat perkembangan

Image via Hello Doktor

Menurut pendapat pakar menerusi BabyCentre, antara cara untuk menguatkan otot rahang bayi adalah dengan mengunyah. Otot ini bukan saja membantu mereka untuk makan dengan baik, tetapi bayi juga akan menggunakan otot ini untuk cepat bercakap.

2. Tak cukup nutrisi

Ibu bapa perlu tahu, susu sebenarnya bukanlah pengganti nutrisi bagi apa pun jenis makanan. Keperluan seimbang ini perlu datang daripada pelbagai makanan. Malah, portal HealthyEating ada merungkai bahawa salah satu risiko anak kecil yang terlalu banyak minum susu adalah kekurangan zat besi.

3. Lebihan kalori

Image via Susu Puremil

Walaupun ramai berpendapat susu mengandungi kandungan protein, kalsium, magnesium, folat, dan vitamin, ia juga akan menambah kalori dalam badan. Ia boleh menyebabkan risiko lain yang mungkin akan menjejaskan kesihatan dalam jangka masa panjang. Antaranya termasuklah obesiti, penyakit jantung, dan kencing manis.

4. Bayi susah makan & cenderung menjadi picky eater

Image via bebegimlemutluyum.com

Apabila anak sudah banyak minum susu dalam sehari, mereka akan sentiasa berasa kenyang dan menolak untuk makan. Malah, bayi yang asyik minum susu akan menolak solid food dan hanya inginkan makanan cair saja. Perkara itu menyebabkan bayi mula menjadi picky eater. Jadi, ibu bapa perlu memberikan kuantiti susu mengikut usia bayi. Boleh rujuk di sini.

5. Kerosakan gigi

Image via theAsianparent

Seperti yang kita tahu, susu formula mengandungi kandungan gula yang agak tinggi. Menurut HealthyChildren.org , ia boleh menyebabkan gigi bayi mudah rosak. Gula yang terkandung dalam susu akan berubah menjadi asid oleh bakteria di dalam mulut si kecil. Asid itulah yang akan menjadikan gigi cepat reput dan rosak.

Berdasarkan 5 kesan di atas, ibu bapa mungkin boleh membuat jadual pemakanan anak dan hidangkan mereka dengan pelbagai jenis tekstur untuk menarik minat si kecil makan :)

Kasut 'Adidas Kampung' Ini Katanya Lebih Bagus Daripada Kasut ‘Branded’ Yang Lain. Setuju?

Perasan tak baru-baru ni viral di laman sosial mengenai sejenis kasut getah murah yang boleh digunakan untuk apa-apa aktiviti dan dipanggil sebagai 'Adidas Kampung'?

Image via Sticky Rice Travel

Boleh katakan sebahagian besar rakyat Malaysia yang aktif dengan aktiviti outdoor sangat familiar dengan kasut ni. Walaupun digelar sebagai 'Adidas Kampung', namun kasut ini bukanlah dari jenama besar tersebut. Ia hanyalah satu istilah popular yang digunakan untuk merujuk kepada jenis kasut getah hitam buatan tempatan.Macam mana istilah ni boleh wujud? Istilah 'Adidas Kampung' wujud kerana persamaan kasut ini dengan but bola sepak klasik jenama tersebut yang mempunyai jalur diagonal di sebelah sisi kasut.Malah, ramai juga yang menggunakan kasut ini sebagai but bola sepak mereka sendiri. Sebab itu ia dinamakan sebagai 'Adidas Kampung'!

Dan bayangkan dengan berbekalkan RM10, anda dah mampu mendapatkan kasut ini sepasang

Image via Max Lee/Facebook

Dari aktiviti meredah hutan, mendaki gunung, sampailah aktiviti di dalam air, 'Adidas Kampung' dikatakan mampu bertahan di mana saja kerana mempunyai cengkaman yang kuat! Jadi, memang tak akan ada masalah lah kalau anda pakai untuk buat aktiviti outdoor.

Image via travelbosing

Image via Instagram @mahathirz

Kasut ini diperbuat daripada getah, kalis air, ringan dan mudah kering. Jadi, jika anda mahu meredah lumpur pun tak ada masalah!

Walaupun kasut ini telah lama di pasaran, ia hanya mula mendapat populariti apabila penoreh getah yang memakai sepasang kasut ini berjaya menyelesaikan dan memenangi perlumbaan puncak di Gunung Kinabalu kira-kira enam tahun lalu.Danny Kuilin Gongot memenangi perlumbaan di 25th Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon pada tahun 2011 dan pencapaiannya mengagumkan ramai, terutamanya apabila dia melakukannya sambil memakai sepasang kasut bernilai RM8.

Kasut 'Adidas Kampung' ini dikeluarkan oleh jenama-jenama yang berbeza tetapi sesetengah daripadanya menjadi pilihan utama buat penggemar aktiviti-aktiviti outdoor

Image via sunnyoutdoors.blogspot.my

Antaranya ialah Goco, Cap Gajah, Bowling, Ostrich, dan Osaki.Kalau dulu 'Adidas Kampung' hanya boleh didapati dengan warna hitam, namun kini semakin banyak design dikeluarkan bagi memenuhi citarasa pembeli.

NASA Is Looking To Hire Someone Who Will Protect Us From Alien Life

We Earthlings will soon have a new hero to protect us from alien life

Image via Waking Times

Yes, we're totally not kidding. NASA, the United States space agency, now has an open position for a Planetary Protection Officer.

The position was first created in 1967 after the United States signed the international Outer Space treaty.The last person to hold the job was Catharine Conley, who was first hired in 2006.

The person hired will be tasked with keeping the Earth clean from alien contamination

Image via DNews

Whenever astronauts return from space, there is always the fear that they carry back with them alien microbes that don't belong here. "NASA maintains policies for planetary protection applicable to all space flight missions that may intentionally or unintentionally carry Earth organisms and organic constituents to the planets or other solar system bodies, and any mission employing spacecraft, which are intended to return to Earth and its biosphere with samples from extraterrestrial targets of exploration. This policy is based on federal requirements and international treaties and agreements," NASA officials wrote in their job description.You might not think some tiny bacteria will do much to harm us, but preventing exposure of our planet's ecosystem to foreign life is a high priority of NASA's. Scientists have no idea what would happen if Earth did get some alien bacteria on it, but the risk of our ecosystem being colonized by a ton of alien microbes is not one they want to take.

Ensuring other planets don't get contaminated by Earth's microbes will also be a part of their job

Image via NASA

So they're also making sure Earth cleans up after itself. We don't want another planet to suffer because of us!

The pay is pretty good too!

The starting salary ranges from USD124,406 (RM532,147) to USD187,000 (RM799,893). They will also need to have an advanced STEM degree and have substantial knowledge on Planetary Protection.

So while our Planetary Protection Officer doesn't literally have to fight head-on with a bunch of scary aliens, they sure do have an important role in keeping us safe

As cool as aliens are, keeping our Earth clean and safe from foreign life is pretty important.

"Girl, You Are Home" - Dad Embraces Urn Of Daughter Who Was Brutally Murdered In Taiwan

The father of murder victim Teng Yong En (phonetically spelled) broke down in tears when his daughter's ashes were brought back home yesterday, 19 January

"Girl, you are home. Come let father hug," cried the father as he embraced Teng's urn at their home in Batu Gajah, Perak, reported Sin Chew Daily.

Teng was allegedly murdered by her neighbour in Taipei, surnamed Lin, who dismembered Teng's body before placing it into two boxes

According to Taiwan News, 26-year-old Teng, who hailed from Malaysia, worked in catering in Taiwan.The boxes were found by police at the foot of Keelung Mountain on 11 January, while the suspect was found dead - from an apparent suicide - in an apartment nearby the next day.

The investigation into Teng's murder began when one of her friends filed a missing case with the local police on 6 January after she failed to show up at work

This led the investigators to Teng's rented apartment in Wanhua District, Taipei, where they interviewed her neigbours, reported Focus Taiwan.Lin was one of the neighbours questioned by the police, who was later found to have a criminal record for armed robbery in 2005.

The police returned to Lin's apartment after a strong smell of chemical disinfectant was reported by the investigators

When they arrived at the residence, Lin had already disappeared.A manhunt operation followed suit, where the police studied the surveillance cameras and tracked the global positioning system (GPS) on Lin's phone.Lin was spotted carrying two cardboard boxes out of his room and placed them in a rental car, which he drove to a mountainous area.

The police found the boxes in a wooded area in Keelung Mountain

United Daily News reported that  Teng's dismembered body was found covered with cotton quilts inside the boxes on Saturday, 11 January.

As for Lin, he was found dead in an apartment on Baisan Street in Keelung's Qidu District the next day

According to CNA Taiwan, Lin was an ex-tenant of the apartment. Local authorities said that he took his own life by burning charcoal in the room.He also reportedly received NTD10,000 (about RM1,355) from Teng's bank account after the murder.

Teng's ashes were brought back by her family from Taiwan on Saturday night, 18 January, before arriving in KLIA yesterday morning

Teng's relatives were all wailing when Teng's sister brought her ashes down from the car and put it on the praying altar, reported Sin Chew Daily. Her father was seen hugging the urn as he murmured "daddy hug", while her mother told Teng that she is finally home.


"Wo Mei You Qian" – Zahid Speaking Chinese During Election Campaign Stuns Crowd

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

A video of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi speaking Chinese at a ceramah has not only amused Malaysians at the scene, but also Malaysians nationwide online

The Barisan Nasional (BN) chairperson spoke the language while campaigning for the Padang Serai parliamentary seat election at Kulim, Kedah, on Monday, 5 December, reported MediaRakyat.It was a Pakatan Harapan's (PH) ceramah, and Zahid spent about 15 minutes on stage canvassing for votes, stressing that the collaboration between BN and PH to form a unity government is essential for the progress of the country."I learned from my mistakes. BN and UMNO learned from our mistakes. We indeed had a lot of money during the 2018 election. But money is not everything, though everything needs money," Zahid said in Bahasa Melayu, before switching to Chinese."Wo mei you qian. Hen duo qian? Bu zhi dao, bu yao qian (I don't have money. A lot of money? I don't know, I don't want money).""I am Malay. You are Chinese. I am Malaysian. We are all Malaysians, right?" he continued in Chinese.

Zahid Hamidi ni baru seminggu masuk Pakatan Harapan dah reti cakap Cina. pic.twitter.com/gT8r5nbaJo— Zailee (@zaileefd2) December 6, 2022

Some attendees at the ceramah applauded Zahid for his spirited speech when he suddenly switched to speaking in Chinese

"Zahid can speak Chinese after joining PH for just one week," a viral tweet said in jest.It is worth noting that Zahid was raised by a Chinese foster father."I must tell Chinese journalists that I have a Chinese foster father. I sold ice-cream together with him way back when I was in Primary One to Primary Six … for six years," a 2015 report in Malay Mail quoted Zahid as saying."His children are like my own siblings.

Why This Man's Photo With The Petronas Twin Towers Caused An Uproar On FB

A photo of a man holding an Israeli passport in front of the Petronas Twin Towers has created a massive uproar among Malaysians since it was first uploaded on 11 June

Image via Rudy Rochman

The photo was first uploaded on the Facebook page of Israeli activist, Rudy Rochman on 11 June. The image was accompanied by a message on ending the baseless discrimination against Israeli nationals. "This photo was taken in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Israelis are forbidden to enter because of their nationality," Rochman wrote."Thousands of Israelis travel to Asia every year after their mandatory army service to experience and learn from different cultures. However, Malaysia has decided to completely ban all entry permits for Israeli citizens." He added that there are Malaysians who support Israel in secret despite the fact that its government and a majority of Malaysians continue to support the travel ban on Israeli citizens.  "If you did not know this please SHARE it so others may be aware of such intolerance."

"As an Israeli, "no" means try harder and I made it to Malaysia for a day through the other booklet of processed tree I have, a French passport," Rochman said.

Rochman is a student activist who champions Israeli rights and is currently based in New York. The young activist was born in France and raised in America.In an article he wrote on The Bulletin, a publication of the Association of College Unions International (ACUI), Rochman spoke about how he has never felt like he belonged in either France or America."When I first moved to the United States I was automatically labelled as the 'French kid', but when visiting family in France I was often considered the American cousin.""I realised that it doesn’t matter where I was born, grew up, or live—I would always be a Jew," he added.

Just hours later, Rochman's Facebook post received international attention after it was shared by StandWithUS

StandWithUs is an international educational organisation that aims to debunk the misinformation surrounding Israel and the Jewish people.It is a non-profit organisation based in Los Angeles, U.S. and has more than 950,000 likes on Facebook, and 55,000 followers on Twitter. The page shared Rochman's Facebook post and attracted more than 2,000 comments and 4,500 shares.

StandWithUs shared Rochman's post with a comment that read, "We hope the government of Malaysia enjoys this photo". The statement incited the anger of netizens, especially Malaysians.

Quite a number of Malaysians were infuriated by the content of post, calling Rochman a "terrorist" and some even made claims that Israel is not a country

Image via Facebook

Some of the top comments on the post were by Malaysians, who clearly expressed that Rochman, a Jew, was not welcomed in Malaysia. They also condemned him for "sneaking" into Malaysia using his French passport.  They associated him with Israel and made suggestions that he could be in Malaysia to conduct acts of terrorism.  There were also comments that stated how "Israel is not even a real country".

The Malaysian government's existing foreign policy does not recognise the state of Israel as a country

Image via Islamic Reminders YouTube

As of March 2010, Malaysia, along with other 35 United Nations (UN) countries, were named as nations that do not recognise Israel as a country.  Additionally, the Malaysian passport, which is listed as one of the top 10 most powerful passports in the world, provides access to 163 countries without a visa.However, all Malaysian passports come with a notice that reads, "This passport is valid for all countries except Israel". It is noted that Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world with passports that come with this exclusion.Israelis are also not allowed in Malaysia without an approval from the Home Ministry.

A survey in 2014 revealed that nearly two out of three Malaysians admit to being biased against the Jews, who make up the largest ethnic group in Israel

Image via Twitter

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) survey in 2014 revealed that more than 61% of Malaysians exhibited anti-Semitic beliefs. This result puts Malaysia as the most anti-Semitic country surveyed in Asia outside of the Middle East.  The reservations that a large group of Malaysians have against Israelis was made obvious recently, when a photo of PM Najib Razak shaking hands with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became a subject of controversy.  There was also an incident in 2011, when Malaysians taunted Israeli footballer Yossi Benayoun when he was playing for the English Premier League team Chelsea, in a friendly against a Malaysian selection.

Rochman explained that the prevailing intolerance towards Israelis and Jews is the reason why he felt the need to write a post that highlights the strained relationship between Malaysia and Israel

He said that he did not wish to shame Malaysia. "I wish to show the world the intolerant policy your government holds against my people," he wrote."It is people like you that I condemn for being intolerant. You do not (know) me, yet you choose to discriminate against me because of my ethnicity and nationality. That is what racism is," Rochman said in reply to a Facebook comment.


Meet The 'Super Cop' Who Survived Getting Shot 11 Times By Botak Chin

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

Shoot-outs and chases between the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and criminals were a norm on the streets in the 70s due to the high crime rate.
One such unforgettable incident involved the infamous prolific criminal, Botak Chin, attempting to kill S. Kulasingam by shooting him 11 times near Jalan Davis, Kuala Lumpur.

The 'Super Cop' not only survived the close-range attack but also managed to drive to a nearby police station to report the shoot-out. Some sources even say that he drove to the hospital himself despite the life-threatening injuries. But this was not his first and last assault; the policeman survived multiple attempts on his life throughout his career and lived until the age of 77 years old.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Kulasingam Sabaratnam, popularly known as DSP Kula, joined PDRM in 1951, when he was only 19 years old

Starting as a probation inspector, DSP Kula managed to climb up the ranks pretty quick and at the age of 25, he was promoted to Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) in 1957, according to Astro Ulagam.Prior to that, New Sarawak Tribune said that DSP Kula had served as a commander of the Police Field Force (PMP)'s "jungle squad" during the Malayan Emergency.He was then appointed as Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Kuala Lumpur and also served as the CID Chief of Johor.According to his sister, Annamah's write-up for The Star, DSP Kula was an honest and fearless officer who dedicated his life to his job. His track record made criminals fearful at the mere mention of his name, some of them choosing to surrender voluntarily and handing in their weapons.But on the other side of the 'tough cop' exterior, DSP Kula was a kind-hearted man who believed in atonement. He used to entertain ex-criminals in his home as he believed that they had already paid for their crimes and did not deserve to be treated as outcasts of society. This admirable quality earned him the respect of the underworld!

He became a legend in the force for not only being involved in all kinds of serious criminal cases, but also for surviving multiple attempts on his life

DSP Kula's reputation was so huge back then that even infamous criminals like Kepong Chai — a rapist with a penchant for scarring the faces of women with a blade — were threatened by him.Another criminal that was threatened by DSP Kula was Botak Chin, whose real name was Wong Swee Chin. The so-called 'Robin Hood' robbed nearly RM300,000 after shooting a security guard carrying money at the Horse Racing Club in Kuala Lumpur, according to The Vocket, who quoted Syahril A. Kadir, an ex-senior crime reporter at Utusan Malaysia who reportedly interviewed DSP Kula in the past.His violence escalated on 22 November 1975, when he and his gang attempted to kill DSP Kula, who was the CID Chief of Kuala Lumpur at that time, at a traffic light intersection near Jalan Davis, Kuala Lumpur, as per this blog post.They ambushed his vehicle after tailing him and started firing bullets at the policeman. It was reported that at least 11 bullets hit his vehicle, one of which shattered DSP Kula's rib, ripped through his liver, and punctured his lung, before lodging close to his spine.Despite the life-threatening injury, DSP Kula drove himself to the Cheras police station. "The attack and the bullet that hit my chest and internal organs may have killed me at that time but I don't think my time has come yet," he said, when interviewed by Syahril.New Sarawak Tribune stated that DSP Kula even drove to the General Hospital (now Kuala Lumpur Hospital) himself after reporting the attack at the police station.

11 shots were fired at S. Kulasingam at a traffic light junction in 1975 and one of the bullets shattered his right rib, ripped through his liver, and punctured his lung, before lodging close to his spine.

DSP Kula returned to duty just three months after recovering from his injuries but was shot again, less than five months later, this time in the stomach during a raid in Petaling Jaya

According to Syahril, apart from being shot several times, DSP Kula was almost hit by a fallen tree, which unfortunately killed his assistant. He also nearly escaped being chopped by a raging man and nearly got shot again during separate operations in Sarawak, in which the latter killed his teammates.Following the ambush against DSP Kula, PDRM set up a special team dubbed 'The Magnificent 12', comprising of elite police officers to track down and bring Chin to justice.On 16 February 1676, The Magnificent 12  arrested Chin and his gang following a raid and shoot-out at a sawmill in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur. Chin was subsequently hung to death at the Pudu prison on 11 June 1981, but before that, he vowed to kill DSP Kula.

The 'Super Cop' was often described as being married to the job due to his dedication to the force and he finally retired in 1985, after 34 years in the force

He was awarded the Pingat Gagah Berani (PGB) — Malaysia's second highest award for bravery — and Ahli Mangku Negara (AMN) in recognition of his services. Apart from his involvement in taking down Chin and his gang members, DSP Kula had also managed to take down 25 mafia groups in Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang, Sarawak, and Brunei during the course of his career.DSP Kula spent the rest of his life as a bachelor in Johor Bahru. In an interview with Utusan Malaysia, he said that he never married because his dangerous job required certain sacrifices."I did not get married because of my job, I got shot because of my job, and I suffered in pain because of my job. To me, that's enough. Whether or not people will remember me, let the history decide," he told Utusan Malaysia.Unfortunately, his health began to deteriorate and the legendary cop passed away at 77 years old on 29 November 2007.
