Exposed: The Malay Neo-Nazi Movement in Malaysia

What does "neo-nazi" mean?

"Neo" means "New" so Neo would mean "new nazi". Its true meaning is a fringe group member who aspires to be one of adolf hilters Nazis.

Holocaust denial is a common feature, as is incorporation of Nazi symbols and admiration of Adolf Hitler.

        wikipedia.org

Neo-Nazis really can be best described as White Supremacists, which really is more of a racial philosophy, and not a specific political ideology.

        answers.com

Ulf Ekberg, a founding member of Ace of Base, started his career as a neo-Nazi skinhead. Not only that, he created a platform for his ideals through his Nazi punk band, Commit Suiside, which sang songs with "explicit racist lyrics."

Consider the case of Malaysia, the multiracial state in Southeast Asia, where a neo-Nazi movement has sprung up to defend the rights and survival of what is called a "pure Malay” race.

Turns out they're a group of far-right nationalists who want to rid Malaysia of any nonethnic Malays and stop immigration into the country.

"Malay power is important because we're concerned about keeping a pure Malay community all over the Malay Archipelago.  Malay power stems from a point in history—the 13th of May, 1969—[when] the Chinese and Malay communities fought each other."

        vice.com

"Malaysia is home to people from China, India, and foreign immigrants. The government can't control the entry of immigrants and we get so many of them. Race has become a focus because of the inclusion of uncontrolled numbers of these people in our society."

"We don’t like minorities in Malaysia if they can’t co-exist with the Malay race. If they are good, then we are good."

Neo-Nazis in Malaysia not only espouse openly racialist theories, but they have adopted some of the symbols and language of the Third Reich and neo-Nazi movements from post-war Europe, including swastikas and imitating Combat-18, a British fascist organization.

"We've just adopted the spirit associated with Naziism as a symbol for the Malay race’s response if it's threatened by racial issues."

"All Malay power punk and skinhead bands are outright anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist. Malay power is connected to Islam. It doesn’t have links to any pro-Islamic movements, though."

A Man Is Planning To Sue His Parents Because He Did Not Consent To Being Born

A man in Mumbai, India, intends to sue his parents for bringing him into the world when he did not "ask to exist"

Image via Supermumpreneur

"I love my parents and we have a great relationship, but they had me for their joy and their pleasure," said Raphael Samuel, who revealed that he plans to take his parents to court for giving birth to him without his consent."My life has been amazing, but I don't see why I should put another life through the rigamarole of school and finding a career, especially when they didn't ask to exist," he told The Print.

A believer of anti-natalism, the 27-year-old subscribes to the philosophy that having a child means forcing life on another human being without their consent

Image via Uplift Connect

"Other people must know that it is an option not to have children, and to ask your parents for an explanation as to why they gave birth to you," said Raphael.The growing tribe of 'child-free' proponents, who also call themselves Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEM) activists, plan to set up a national-level organisation to spread awareness about child-free living in India.They have since been nicknamed 'Stop Making Babies.'

According to its leader, Pratima Nik, the movement is about spreading awareness rather than imposing their beliefs on others.
"More people need to consider why having a child in the world right now isn't right," she explained.

Aside from not succumbing to societal pressure to reproduce and easing the strain on the planet's resources, Pratima added that another reason to join the movement is the fact that there are plenty of children in need of adoption.Proponents of the movement have taken to setting up social media pages to spread the word about the child-free philosophy."I thought about whether our world was a conducive place for bringing children up, and I decided it would be better not to have a child," said Alok Kumar, who has 1,500 subscribers on his YouTube channel.

The 'Stop Making Babies' group will hold its first national meet on 10 February in Bengaluru, India, to decide what shape the movement will take, The Print reported.

Did Someone Really Spot A Weird "Gollum-Like" Creature In The Chinese Hills?

A Chinese tourist was in for a "shock" after he came across a bizarre looking "monster" while out camping near Beijing

Monster? The odd ‘creature’ looked remarkably similar to Gollum from the Lord of the Rings series
Image via wordpress.com

The man was camping with friends in a valley in Huairou, Beijing, when he spotted the Gollum-like "monster"

The ‘monster’ realised he was being watched
Image via wordpress.com

A Chinese tourist, who does not want to be named, said he was camping in Huairou, Beijing, when he took a quick toilet break where he encountered the beast. He took several pictures of the mystery creature, which resembles Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

        mirror.co.uk

Shy: The ‘creature’ quickly scurried away
Image via wordpress.com

The tourist who took the pictures said: 'I walked far away to have a pee, and suddenly saw a monster. I took a few pictures of it, but I am now terrified by my courage then.'

        dailymail.co.uk

The images sparked speculation as to the origin of the creature after they were posted online. But one online commenter in China thought he had the solution to the "mystery".

Any debate however as to what the creature was appears to have been settled after an online commenter described being spotted while filming with friends.

        mirror.co.uk

The actor wrote: 'Over the weekend I and my friends went to the mountains to take a mini sci-fi film. And when I was having a pee a person popped up and took pictures of me and shot away.'

        telegraph.co.uk

For now at least it appears the matter is settled, but there is no doubt conspiracy theorists will call the revelation a convenient cover-up.

        metro.co.uk

However, there has been no shortage of reports of sightings of mysterious looking creatures in the last few months. There was reports about Bigfoot's existence.

Dapatkan Asam Pedas Daging Tetel, Telur Mayong & Banyak Lagi Di Restoran Di Ulu Klang Ini!

Rakyat Malaysia memang sudah tidak asing lagi dengan lauk asam pedas. Tapi anda pasti tak pernah cuba asam pedas telur mayong lagi kan? Memang rare sekali!

Image via @mahamahu (Instagram)

Telur mayong atau dikenali sebagai telur ikan duri, bukan sahaja jarang dijumpai malah agak sukar untuk disediakan. Ini kerana sifat telur mayong yang mudah pecah. Jika dimasak pada jangka masa yang lama, ia akan mempunyai tekstur yang keras dan menjadi kurang enak.Tapi jika disediakan dengan cara yang betul, hasilnya memang luar biasa! Teksturnya yang lembut digabungkan pula dengan rasa lemak pecah dalam mulut, memang nikmat dunia. Lebih lagi jika dimakan bersama kuah asam pedas, memang menyelerakan.

Anda boleh mendapatkan hidangan ini di Kantin Asam Pedas yang terletak di Taman Ukay Perdana. Mereka terkenal dengan menghidangkan pelbagai lauk asam pedas resepi Muar-Melaka yang begitu asli.

Walaupun lokasinya agak tersorok, restoran ini masih menjana pelanggan dari sekitar Lembah Klang kerana ia merupakan satu-satunya restoran di Selangor yang menyediakan lauk asam pedas telur mayong.

Hidangan asam pedas telur mayong ini sangat 'limited edition'. Oleh itu, kami perlu book menu ini beberapa hari sebelum berkunjung ke restoran ini.

Lihat gambar-gambar menu istimewa ini di bawah:

Walaupun asam pedas telur mayong (RM45-50) perlu dipesan beberapa hari sebelum, Kantin Asam Pedas juga menghidangkan asam pedas ikan pari, tenggiri, duri, merah, sembilang, jenahak (RM18-20) dan daging tetel (RM13) yang sedia ada dalam menu harian mereka.

Apa yang menarik tentang restoran ini ialah setiap lauk asam pedas disediakan secara berasingan dan 'made-to-order'

Oleh itu, setiap kuah asam pedas mempunyai rasanya yang tersendiri. Antara kegemaran kami ialah asam pedas telur mayong, daging tetel dan ikan pari. Kuah asam pedas telur mayong memang enak sekali kerana telur mayong yang berlemak menambahkan lagi kepekatan kepada kuahnya. Asam pedas daging tetel pula sangat melazatkan kerana rasa daging dan serai yang menyerlah apabila menghirup kuahnya. Manakala asam pedas ikan pari pula mempunyai rasa asam jawa yang lebih mantap. Setiap kuah mempunyai rasa yang unik yang sesuai dengan rasa ikan dan daging. Lihat gambar-gambar di bawah:

Bukan itu sahaja, untuk setiap set, anda akan dihidangkan ulam-ulaman, ikan masin, dan telur masin. Untuk air pula, anda sudah tidak perlu risau lagi kerana anda akan dihidangkan satu jag air sirap kenduri percuma yang boleh ditambah tanpa had. Memang berbaloi!

Lihat sahaja betapa mengancamnya asam pedas ini. Memang merecik!

Friends Organise Surprise Birthday Party At McDonald's For Their 26-Year-Old Bestie

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

We often go to great lengths to ensure our friends have the best birthdays year after year.
But one group's inclination towards one of their friends' favourite place to eat didn't stop them from throwing him a party he'll never forget.

In a recent TikTok posted by Malaysian user, Jen John (@jenjohnnn), a group of friends appear to be singing Happy Birthday at a party they threw for him at a McDonald's franchise.Written in a caption plastered across the screen, John reveals that her 26-year-old friend made a joke about having his birthday at McDonald's — but their group decided to run with the idea and make it a reality.Getting him gifts, the group goes an extra mile by letting him unwrap a lunchbox in the shape of a burger, a race car, and a couple of Hot Wheels figurines. As for the birthday dessert — they were served McDonald's signature nugget cake.Taking the surprise in stride, the friend does appear to be genuinely enjoying himself, as the one-minute feature ends with them taking a group photo in front of McDonald's 'Happy Birthday' sign.

In a conversation with SAYS, John revealed that the event took place at an outlet in Tabuan Jaya, Kuching — and that it was the first time staff members threw a party for a patron older than 12

According to John, this friend of hers is dubbed as the 'McDonald's Ambassador' in their group, as he always suggests McDonald's if the group can't decide on where to eat supper."We've been saying that since he loves McD so much, we might as well celebrate his birthday there, and he jokingly agreed thinking we wouldn't go through with it," she said to this SAYS writer.The week before his birthday, John stated that one of her other friends in the group made a booking and did not tell him it was at a McDonald's chain."He was definitely shocked and got super shy when he saw his name on the sign."

Image via @jenjohnnn (TikTok)

John stated that the staff were very accommodating when putting the party together for them."When we asked them if they've ever had adults celebrate their birthday here before, they said no, it was the first time. The oldest they've had were kids aged 12," said John.However, John also stated that the idea of celebrating his birthday 'like a kid' was a nice break from adulting life. "Those guys are my close knit friends and I don't think a lot of people realise how funny, smart, and kind they are. I'm glad I was able to capture the moment that will definitely be part of our core memory," said John in her closing thoughts.

Receiving almost 200,000 views and 20,000 likes on TikTok, hearts were warmed across the nation over the clear closeness between the friends

Praising the group for going to such lengths to celebrate their friend, one user wrote, "I mean, this is just wholesome." Another user who was touched by the video commented, "This kind of friendship is honestly the best!"

Showing the public that you're never too old to embrace your inner child, others stated that they now want a McDonald's-themed birthday party after watching this video.One user in particular, said that he's never had a McDonald's birthday, and would like to have one there when he can.

Malaysian Student Who Spent RM15.3 Million That Wasn't Hers Pleads Not Guilty

A Malaysian student, accused of spending AUD4.6 million (RM15.3 million) on a shopping spree after a bank error gave her an unlimited overdraft, has pleaded not guilty to fraud charges

Image via Metro

Christine Jiaxin Lee, a chemical engineering student, is currently on trial in Sydney, Australia. She faces charges of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of a crime after spending AUD4,653,333.02 (RM15,487,186.78) belonging to Westpac Bank after a technical glitch granted her the ability to withdraw as much money as she wants and continue to do so, even after her bank account has zero balance. Between July 2014 and April 2015, the 21-year-old was alleged to have spent the millions on renting a prime estate condo as well as buying designer handbags, clothes, jewellery, mobile phones, and other luxurious goods.

Lee's lawyer, Hugo Aston said that the 21-year-old will be "vigorously" defended against the charges, saying, "We are confident that our client will be acquitted."

Image via James Alcock / Sydney Morning Herald

According to Daily Mail Australia, Aston also revealed that Lee's family had flown into Australia from Malaysia to provide support, adding, "Her family are fully supportive of her. We are very much a united team." Aston also said that Lee plans to return to Malaysia after the end of the court matter.

Lee was arrested at the Sydney Airport on 4 May when she attempted to fly back to Malaysia. Prior to that, the bank and Australian police have made multiple attempts to contact her after a warrant for her arrest was issued in March 2015.

Prosecutor Marc Turner said that Lee was aware that the bank and police are trying to make contact with her, as Westpac investigators managed to contact her after freezing her account on 7 April 2015 upon realising the blunder. However, at that point, she had already withdrawn the millions, going on five to six-figure shopping sprees as well as transferred some of the money to another bank account.

Lee, on the other hand, claimed that that she thought the millions were banked in by her wealthy parents

When asked why she thought she had access to that much money, she said, "My parents give me lots of money."


Make Babies First, Malaysians! Don't Focus Too Much On Quality Of Life, Says Ministry

Women, Family, and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim said on 25 May that Malaysians should have more babies to address the estimated declining population

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Rohani said according to the United Nations, Malaysians should ideally have three or four children per family, but the average fertility rate of Malaysians was 2.1 children in 2012, with the figure expected to drop to 1.91 children in 2020 according to The Star

She added the rate of 2.1 children was merely enough to replace their parents in the national population.At prevailing rates, Malaysia’s population in the year 2020 will be 32 million, she said. This may not hit the target of set by Vision 2020 architect ex-premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad who envisioned 70 million Malaysians by the year 2100.

        malaysiakini.com

Malaysia is also expected to be an aging population by 2035, where 15% will be above the age of 60.

        nst.com.my

“That is why the ministry encourages couples not to be so focused on quality of life, but to also have children for the long-term benefit of the country,” says Rohani.

The minister noted that one of the reasons for the falling birthrate is that more women choose to pursue their education and careers first, making it the norm for them to marry later. This causes families to start later and face issues with childcare due to their responsibilities at work, she added.

        malaysiandigest.com

"The current trend now is to have two children or less. However, we cannot force couples to have children as the decision depends on them,” she told the Dewan Rakyat during question time on 25 May. Rohani said couples also had children according to how much they can afford from their income.

        thestar.com.my

“We have various programmes to raise awareness (on the need to boost the fertility rate), including explaining that the ideal family size is between three and four children.

        themalaymailonline.com

She was answering a question from PKR Kuala Kedah Dr Azman Ismail who raised the issue of the shrinking population in Malaysia, especially among the Chinese and Indian communities

Rohani said in 2012, Malays recorded a high fertility rate of 2.6 children, while Chinese recorded 1.6 and Indians 1.5.

        thestar.com.my

“The ministry does not have a target for fertility rate based on race. But we are very concerned on the decrease in the national average fertility rate,” Rohani said.

        nst.com.my

Malaysians have gone on to chastise Rohani's statement on reducing their focus on the quality of life, as young couples do not have a stable job yet nor will they be able to bear the high cost of living

Marina Mahathir responds to Women, Family, and Community Development Minister  Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim statement on a Facebook posting.

"So, have lots of children and give them a lesser quality of life? And don't complain about GST on diapers," says Marina Mahathir on her Facebook.

"Who cares about how expensive it is to raise a child in this day and age, not to mention the wish of many young people to find their footing in their careers before opting to get married. Suggesting we sacrifice the quality of life in order to produce more children is astonishing when considering the times we live in. Many families are finding it difficult to keep their heads above the poverty line, what with rising prices and our slow economy. These couples would struggle day to day not only to feed another mouth, but to pay for daycare and other necessities. We want the best for our children, and that means being able to provide for them.A declining birth rate is a worrying phenomenon. However, this is not how we can get started with encouraging people to raise larger families. It requires a sufficient support system, and we’re not talking about cash handouts, but a liveable minimum wage, greater support for mothers, perhaps even a free education system using the profits from the GST," says writer Scott Ng.

10 Ways To Ace Every Job Interview You Step Into

It goes without saying that it's important to dress appropriately and be punctual for a job interview. But what else should you be doing to impress in your interview?

1. Research beforehand and find out about the company so that you know what you're getting into

Image via whstatic.com

Research the company, if you haven’t already done this as part of your job search. There is nothing less impressive than sitting there chatting away with zero knowledge about the company. If possible, also look for info about the person or people interviewing you – but use this sparingly or it can feel a little creepy.

        careernook.com

2. Ask yourself if it's really what you want. You can only impress if you're interested!

Image via adweek.com

The job that you are applying for also needs serious thought. Are you really sure what you are going to sign up for is for you? Or are you just pursuing the programme for the sake of better income? If it’s the money that you are after, do you think you can learn to embrace the programme’s core values?

        graduan.com

3. Practice answering common questions so that you're prepared and save those nerves for the curveball questions

Image via adweek.com

Take time to practice answering some of the most popular questions, with the help of your mirror or a recording device. You may also ask friends or family to do some mock interviews with you.Get comfortable talking about yourself and all the good things you have to offer, without sounding too full of yourself – or conversely, too aw shucks and self-conscious. Just be yourself and think “conversation” rather than the far scarier word “interview”.

        careernook.com

4. Make sure you know what you're selling. In this case, yourself. Learn your own résumé!

Image via adweek.com

Know your own résumé. You’d be amazed at how many people I’ve interviewed who hemmed and hawed when I asked about some of their experiences listed right on the resume I had in front of me.

        careernook.com

5. Always be present and engaged. Also, don't forget to listen and maintain eye contact.

In case you're wondering, yes that's Dave Franco aka James Franco's brother.
Image via adweek.com

If you feel yourself starting to think ahead about an answer or what else you might want to bring up later, stop yourself. You will lose more than you gain by trying to jump ahead. Just be in the moment and trust yourself. Again, the connection and a feeling that you would be a great person to have on their team is key.

        careernook.com

6. Avoid bad-mouthing at all costs. It's impolite, unpleasant and looks bad on you more than the person you're criticising.

Image via adweek.com

Whether it’s your prospective employer’s competition or a previous employer, only say positive nice things about others. As your mother may have said, “If you can’t something nice, don’t say anything at all.”

        wikihow.com

Saying negative things about your past work life in an interview will only give the impression that you’re both a complainer and indiscreet.  Neither quality will put you on the ‘let’s hire’ list.

        forbes.com

7. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Asking your interviewer great questions is a very huge plus!

Image via amazonaws.com

The key is to ask great questions- not to ask questions that you should know the answers to already (“What does the position entail?) or questions that make it all about you (“What is your vacation policy?”)Ask questions that demonstrate genuine interest in the organization and how you can fit in to their success. Remember, also, job interviewing is a two-way-street! By asking questions, you can get a much better sense of the organization you’re interviewing at, and the extent to which you’d even want to work there.

        linkedin.com

8. Be your awesome self and offer a piece of yourself...

Image via adweek.com

As one seasoned recruiter from a Human Resource department of an international fashion company puts it, “Too much effort is spent on trying to impress and giving the ‘right’ answers. Few provide windows to their true selves.”The key here is to be clear about your own stand before you walk through the door. This will enable you to give your interviewers an honest account of yourself. Nothing can be more irritating than a candidate who has no idea of his own personal direction. Even worse if he is sniffed out as a bluff!

        graduan.com

9. ...and that includes being sure of your personal values and sticking to them!

Image via adweek.com

One manager told me about an interview he conducted where the interviewee was trying so hard to come across as flexible and accommodating, it felt as though he would have agreed with anything the manager said.  He told me he was tempted to say something truly outrageous (We have a policy that no one in the company can have children), just to see what response he’d get. Of course, most people don’t want to hire folks who are combative or rigid – but they do want people who have a sense of who they are, what they think, and what’s important to them.

        forbes.com

10. Most important, breathe and relax. You won't be able to function if you let your nerves take over you.

Image via adweek.com

Lastly, remember to relax. One useful mindset to adopt is to look at the interview session as a get-to-know-you session. Another is to remind yourself that if you ace it, good for you. If you don’t, then don’t beat yourself up over it. Things happen for a reason, and there is a big maybe that your destiny may lie with another who deserves your talents.

IGP Rubbishes Al Jazeera's Research-Backed Documentary On Baby Selling Trade In Malaysia

Police raid clinics, homes, & arrest three people after Al Jazeera's baby-selling documentary

Image via YouTube/ Malaysia: Babies For Sale - 101 East

Doha-based broadcaster, Al Jazeera reported last night that their baby-selling expose documentary has lead to the arrest of three individuals in Malaysia. The Malaysian authorities arrested the woman who was shown trying to sell a baby to the Al Jazeera's undercover journalists, her son and a medical assistant who works at a private clinic. Senior Assistant Commissioner Rohaimi Md Isa told Al Jazeera that all three may be charged under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act if convicted. "The operation is still ongoing," said Rohaimi, informing the journalists that the police will arrest more people if they are suspected to be involved in this baby-selling racket.

30 NOVEMBER: Police questioned Al Jazeera's journalist for viral baby-selling documentary

Image via Bernama/ Al Jazeera

The Malay Mail Online reported today, 30 November that the police have recorded the statement from the local Al Jazeera journalist that worked on 101 East's Malaysia: Babies For sale documentary that was aired on Thursday, 24 November. "Immediately after the article was out, we had summoned her and we understand why they did the article and she gave us good cooperation," said the IGP at a press conference at the police headquarters in Bukit Aman today. Al Jazeera published a documentary that depicted the seriousness of baby-selling in Malaysia. It revealed how a network of people including doctors, government officials and traffickers have been running the baby-selling racket in Malaysia. While members of the public were very receptive about the documentary, the IGP denied vehemently that baby-selling is very easy in Malaysia.

28 NOVEMBER: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar have denied that Malaysia is a hot bed for the baby selling trade.
This comes after Qatar's international news channel Al Jazeera published a documentary on how babies are sold in Malaysia on Thursday, 24 November.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar

While agreeing that there are baby selling activities in Malaysia, Khalid said that it was not accurate to say that it is as easy and common in the country to sell babies, as reported by Al Jazeera. He said that the police have been keeping an eye out for such activities, citing the establishment of organisations like the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants (ATIPSOM) Unit in 2008 and the Sexual, Women and Children's Investigation Division (D11) of the Criminal Investigation Department. Khalid reinforced his statement by saying that the police arrested six people who were involved in a baby selling syndicate back in 2010, including a doctor, three nurses, a government servant and another individual.  "Police, with the cooperation of other ministries and agencies, have been consistent in its actions to put an end to trafficking in women and children, and has always made it its top priority," he said, stressing that the police will conduct investigations on the issues raised by the Al Jazeera documentary.

Responding to Al Jazeera's shocking revelation, the National Registration Department (NRD) said that they will be taking "stern" actions if they find any of their officers involved in the baby selling syndicate

NRD director-general Mohd Yazid Ramli

NRD director-general Mohd Yazid Ramli said that they take such matters very seriously and that there will be no compromise if NRD officers are proven to be involved in baby selling syndicates. "Stern action will be taken if the allegations are found to be true," said Mohd Yazid in a statement, yesterday, 27 November, as reported by Bernama. He went on to stress that NRD does not discriminate against anything and registers the birth of every child without any prejudice regardless of the child's status."If all the conditions are met and documents submitted upon application are in order and complete, the application can be accepted and processed for a birth certificate to be issued. Once everything is complete and in order, only then will the supervisory officer issue the birth certificate."However, if the application is incomplete or does not comply with the procedures, the birth registration will be postponed until the applicant furnishes the department with all the required documents and information. Should there be any doubt, the application will be referred to the Investigation and Enforcement Division for further checks," explained Mohd Yazid.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Datuk Dr S Subramaniam  informed that the ministry has started an official investigation against the doctors and healthcare facilities mentioned in the Al Jazeera documentary

Health Minister Datuk Dr S Subramaniam

If proven guilty, the consequences can be severe for the doctors. Dr Subramaniam said that the medical professionals will face disciplinary actions carried out by the Malaysian Medical Council which can cause them to lose their medical license. They will be deregistered from the Medical Register under the Medical Act 1971. "Depending on the result of the investigations, actions will be taken accordingly towards the doctors and healthcare facilities," added Dr Subramaniam, as reported by the Malay Mail Online yesterday, 27 November 2016. The health minister also spoke about the importance of medical officers complying and abiding by the standards required by the noble profession, by not getting involved or condoning criminal activities like human trafficking and baby selling.  In the statement, Dr Subramaniam mentioned that all local health facilities and services that fall under it are regulated by the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998 which has a responsibility to ensure that all their practices are legal. "At the same time, the Ministry is urging the public to help curb this activity, by being more alert and willing to come forward with the relevant information, for further action by the relevant agencies. Thus, the participation of the community to be hand-in-hand with the Ministry in safeguarding the patients’ safety and the quality of our healthcare system is highly appreciated to assist in putting a stop to this dissolute activity," implored Dr Subramaniam.

Agreeing with Dr Subramaniam, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim said that her ministry will give full cooperation to stop all baby selling syndicates in Malaysia

Rohani stressed that Malaysia is completely against the selling of babies and that the authorities will take all the necessary actions to out an end to such criminal activities. She also informed that the Women, Family, and Community Development Ministry will be chairing a meeting soon to look into all the allegations and evidence about baby selling in Malaysia, brought to light by Al Jazeera's recent documentary. "The meeting will be attended by representatives from all relevant ministries including the Home Ministry, the Health Ministry, the National Registration Department and the police. The Home Ministry will table a report in connection with the allegation and our ministry will make necessary action based on the outcome. "We will also invite representatives from the Foreign Affairs Ministry to attend the meeting," said Rohani after closing a leadership seminar in Kuching, yesterday, 27 November. Calling the Al Jazeera report a "wake-up call" to all, Rohani added that the ministry will also start looking into ways to rescue and shelter these babies that are allegedly involved in this syndicate.She also reminded members of the public to go the relevant parties and authorities if and when they have any information about matters like this, instead of "running to the media" first.

[VIDEO] Man Using Emergency Lane Whips Out Steering Lock To Threaten Another Driver

The steering lock torch of road bullies has been passed on.
This time, it is a man who was seen wielding the yellow-red-black 'mace'.

In an incident that happened on Thursday, 16 January, a dashcam video showing an alleged road bully brandishing a steering lock at a driver on a highway went viral.The three minutes and 51 seconds video showed two cars using the emergency lane on a highway at Gua Tempurung, Perak heading to Kuala Lumpur.A Toyota Vios, bearing a Melaka number plate, almost collided into two motorcycles that stopped on the emergency lane. According to the video, the incident happened at around 3.27pm on Monday, 13 January.

Despite the near collision, the Toyota Vios continued to drive on the emergency lane before stopping in front of the vehicle with the dashcam

At the same time, a Proton Satria emerged from the emergency lane, blocking the victim's vehicle from the left side.

The dashcam captured drivers from both cars gesturing angrily at the victim before one of them pulled out a steering lock and pointed it at the victim.However, it is not clear why the drivers were mad at the victim.

The altercation stopped when one of the motorcyclists from before came to de-escalate the situation

The abang with a red backpack told the steering-lock-wielding road bully to calm down and encouraged him to get back into his car, which he did after some persuasion.The video was shared over 3,700 times at the time of writing.

Guna lorong kecemasan, vios tu lepas, satria tak lepas. Lain kali bawa kereta pastikan otak jangan tinggal di rumah..Posted by Mohamad Zaini Temizy on Wednesday, 15 January 2020

After the video went viral, netizens started posting screenshots of the man on Facebook while collectively criticising his actions

A netizen's post read, "A few years ago, we had steering lock sister, and today we finally see a steering lock brother."Netizens flooded the comments section to criticise the road bullies."Report police ya... This type of people need to be punished," a Facebook user wrote."Here is a very clear picture of the road bully. Hurry up and share it," another netizen commented.

Some netizens commended the abang who helped de-escalate the situation

"Salute to the bike brother. He dared to control the situation. If he didn't persuade the road bully, it is quite possible that the victim would get a beating," said a netizen.

Man Fed Up With Cars Driving By His Bedroom Builds 11 Speed Bumps On The Road

A 40-year-old man in Terengganu caused a commotion in his neighbourhood last week when he built 11 speed bumps on a commonly-used road beside his home

According to Bernama, the situation recently went viral on social media after a resident of Kampung Padang Luas, Jertih shared a picture of the speed bumps online.The photo showed 11 bumps on a small road that was only 40m long, making it difficult for people to drive in and get out onto the main road.

Image via Harian Metro

The man who built the bumps, Nor Muhamad Roslam Harun, has since apologised for his actions after police went to check on the neighbourly feud

The man explained that he had built the speed bumps on the road because he was annoyed by the noise caused by drivers speeding down the road, regardless of the time of the day."My bedroom is on the side of the house that is closest to the road, so all the noise from the cars and the motorcycles always disturbed my sleep. I was very stressed by this issue and, not to mention, I also have mental health problems that I haven't received treatment for yet," he told Bernama.So, Nor Muhamad said he spent RM1,080 out of the RM5,000 withdrawal he made from his Employees Provident Fund (EPF) account through the i-Sinar program to buy the material and build the humps.

After police intervention, he has since leveled the road back to normal

"Yesterday morning, a police officer came to see me. He advised me nicely to remove all the bumps," Nor Muhamad said."So yesterday, I hired a bulldozer to level all the 13 humps, including the two original humps that were there."He also confessed that he did not mean to cause the commotion as he only wanted to make multiple, small speed bumps on the road just to slow the cars, but the tar he used hardened too quickly."They were all so high that only four-wheel drives could pass," he admitted.


Potato Chips Taken Off Shelves Of Don Don Donki After Pork 'Missed Out' Of Ingredient List

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

A tweet warning Malaysians about the missing English translation of 'pork' in the ingredient list of a Japanese potato chips product sold at Don Don Donki Bukit Bintang has gone viral

In the tweet, Twitter user @amal_ramli expressed hope for Malaysians to be aware of the ingredient in the Karamucho potato chips to prevent them from accidentally purchasing the product.He also attached photos of the potato chip packaging and the said ingredient list for both Japanese and English translations in the tweet.

In the same thread, he attached a report he sent to the Ministry of Domestic Trade And Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), hoping for prompt action to avoid consumer confusion.

Karamucho yang dijual dekat Donki Bukit Bintang TAK HALAL ye rakan rakan Ingredients dalam tulisan Jepun ada (babi) tapi ingredients dalam english takde tulis babi.Harap harap takdela sesiapa tersalah beli bila tengok ingredients dalam english tu nanti  pic.twitter.com/ID4gslDhXs— Amal Firdaus (@amal_ramli) July 23, 2022

Apparently, pork was not the only ingredient that was missing from the product's label

Upon rechecking the photos of the ingredients, Amal noticed that chicken bouillon (チキンブイヨン) and gelatin (ゼラチン) are also not mentioned in the English translation of the ingredients."At this point, this seems more like deception than it is a mistake," said Amal in the same thread.He also said in the thread that the issue does not only concern Muslims, but other groups who have allergies or are vegetarian as well.

In his latest update, Amal attached Don Don Donki Malaysia's response to the situation

According to a screenshot of his conversation with the outlet, Don Don Donki Malaysia has taken the product off shelves and labelled it 'Non-Halal'."Action has been taken towards our supplier for missing out [on] this important information," stated Don Don Donki Malaysia in the apology they sent to Amal on Instagram."We will take every step to ensure this doesn't happen again in [the] future."In the same tweet, Amal reminded Malaysians to always check the ingredients of imported snacks sold at other stores.

The tweet has garnered about 4,800 retweets and over 3,000 likes as of writing

Some Twitter users believed that it is the consumers' responsibility to check the ingredients before purchasing.A person tweeted saying, "But I think this (is) quite common for imported, non-declared halal food. It's up to consumer discretion to read and discern ingredients with the help of [technology]."In contrast, others think that every store management should always be aware of food ingredients and separate halal and non-halal food."If it's obvious that the food has non-halal ingredients, store managements should separate the food. Sellers and store owners must take note of this matter," tweeted a user.Meanwhile, there were netizens who advised Muslim consumers to be smart when purchasing products."Do not buy food that has no halal logo," one wrote.There was also a user who suggested using the Google Translate camera feature to easily check the ingredients of imported snacks.

Chung has been charged with five charges

The charges framed under Section 298, Section 506, Section 109, Section 324, and Section 323 of the Penal Code covers criminal intimidation, intentionally wounding religious feelings, and causing injury.His 43-year-old personal assistant Choo Hin Voon was charged twice under Section 324.

Magistrate P Sarulatha set bail at RM50,000 for Chung and RM20,000 for Choo. She also fixed 23 June for the next mention of the case.

Deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Asyraf Ashy'ari Kamaruzam had proposed the bail amount to be RM200,000 for each of Chung's charges and RM100,000 for each of Choo's charges.The DPP also proposed additional conditions that both accused surrender their passport to the court and report to the police station until the disposal of the case.The magistrate allowed Chung RM50,000 bail for all the charges and RM20,000 bail for Choo with one surety for each accused after hearing pleas for lower bail amounts from counsels Abdul Hakeem Aiman and Jacky Loi, who represented Chung and Choo, respectively.Both the accused were ordered to surrender their passports and report to the police station once a month until the case is disposed of.According to Abdul, his client is the sole breadwinner of the family."The accused is a property investor who does a lot of charity work, especially contributions to the temples... He runs two businesses and has more than 30 workers who depend on him," he said.Meanwhile, Choo's counsel said that his client takes care of his mother who is wheelchair-bound.
