The caption reads, "River Pollution Sungai Damansara: We Need Answers!"Koong is the director of Taylor's Me.reka Makerspace.Noting in the Instagram post that he passes the river weekly, Koong noticed something strange about the river that Friday night.He said he shot the video behind the People's Housing Project (PPR) at Lembah Subang after noticing the river completely coated in snow-white foam.He was there with his team to conduct digital literacy classes at the PPR building as part of a youth programme.

Speaking to SAYS, Koong recollected that there was a very faint chemical smell around the river that night

He mentioned that he had returned to the scene on Sunday and found that the foam had cleared out and the smell was no longer there.An acquiantance of Koong's, artist Mohd Anuar Mustapa — who works around the area — told him that the foam had cleared out the very next day on 1 May.Koong mentioned that the river was part of a diverse ecosystem and was home to fish and otters. Following this incident, Koong said that Anuar had told him that dead fish were seen lying on the riverbank the next day."I feel very sad because we were just complimenting about how this is the last patch of greenery in Ara Damansara, in the city. There [are] animals, there [are] birds, all sorts of birds are there and there are otters over there," Koong explained.He told SAYS, "Then, one week later, the [foam was] covering the whole river."

"I would love to urge the authorities to look into technological measures in monitoring the river because on that night, at 12am, we didn't know who to call," Koong said

He mentioned that he and his acquaintances who witnessed the strange scene were unsure of who to call in order to report the occurrence."At 12am, there's no one to call and that's when it happens. Then, the next day, it's clean," he continued."We urge the municipal council or the people to endorse using sensors."He said that sensors are not new technology. The sensors could be put around the river outlets to monitor any changes in the water quality pH, adding, "Then we can directly call or inform any of the authorities to straight away investigate what is happening."He mentioned that his team is discussing ways to develop and fund such sensors to be put up around the river."As a sculptor myself and for what I am fighting for, I am not letting this go," Koong, who reuses metal scraps to create art, said.

Photos of the river in the past show that fish and egrets were thriving in the area.

Koong had originally made a formal complaint to the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), but was told that they matter was not under their jurisdiction

Instead, the administrator at the local council referred the matter to Indah Water, who later reached out to Koong twice on Monday, 3 April, to inform him that the strange occurrence was under investigation."We definitely need to find an answer for this and (for) the person to be answerable for this. […] Also to tell them, don't easily think you can get away with just, you know, poisoning the next generation. Just so you can reap some profit," he added.He told SAYS that this was the first time that he and his friends had noticed anything of this scale happening to a natural river.He urged the public to be aware and use technology like their handphones to capture these suspicious occurrences and post them up."These things could happen and then disappear the next day. Then, the people [who are responsible] can run away from this," he cautioned.

"He Has Abandoned Us" – Jilted Wife Pleads Public For Help In Locating Her Runaway Husband

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

24-year-old Thea M. recently took to Twitter to ask for help in locating her husband after he allegedly ran away from their home in Georgetown, Penang, abandoning her and their 20-month-old daughter

Thea's 26-year-old husband left home after a heated dispute between the two on Friday, 16 December. When he failed to return around midnight, Thea filed a police report.Speaking to SAYS, Thea said the dispute revolved around suspicions that her husband was having an affair, as he is said to have cheated throughout their four-year relationship. She converted to Islam to marry him two years ago.The fight led to him breaking several objects in their home, before driving off in his Toyota Avanza. She added that he left his phone and keys behind, and likely changed his number to avoid detection or being contacted."Even before we met, he had a history of running away from home. [However], this is the longest he’s been away without me knowing where he is," she said.

Image via @TheaMak (Twitter)

Thea currently works full time as a hotel receptionist, but is struggling to support both herself and her daughter without her husband's financial contributions

"This month, we went over budget due to a sudden [medical] matter, and I didn’t set aside enough since I thought he’d stay around," she said, adding that she has bills she is now struggling to cover due to his sudden absence."I am already not eating most days. I walk anywhere I can. I am doing everything I can to save money so that my baby has a shot at a decent life I could never have.""It hurts a lot that I have to go through this alone [even though] he knows I have no backup plan or savings," she lamented.Thea added on Twitter that because her husband prefers to be paid in cash, it would be impossible to receive alimony as his bank account was purposefully left empty."I'd like to clarify that I don't want him to support me, just our daughter. I would like him to replace [the] things he broke, but that would be a bonus," she stated.

Image via @TheaMak (Twitter)

The couple's daughter is currently living with her husband's parents, who have primary custody of the infant

"My daughter is safe and sound with my in-laws. It's best for her [as] I work odd hours and don't have my own transportation," Thea said.She added that her daughter began living with them roughly four months ago, after the couple's arguments began to escalate."I [didn't] want her to grow up seeing her parents fight or her father being violent towards me... [and currently,] I can't afford to be there for her 24/7 or hire a stay-at-home nanny.""Technically, he has abandoned us, and I have the right to file for divorce," Thea said, adding that she intends to go to court tomorrow, 20 December, to officialise the separation."I really do hope that someone will push him to at least go to court or get in touch so we can settle this amicably."For further details about the case, read Thea's Tweet here.Additionally, Thea is asking anyone who has any information regarding her husband's whereabouts to contact her on Twitter here or Instagram here.

Ramai Puji Lelaki Ini Kerja Rider McD & GrabFood Sebab Nak Halalkan Gadis Pilihan. Tabik!

Seorang lelaki telah menjadi inspirasi netizen dengan bekerja selama 14 jam sehari demi mengumpul wang kahwin untuk melamar gadis impiannnya

Menerusi laman Twitter, Amirul Syafieq, telah berkongsikan bagaimana dia bekerja sebagai rider rangkaian makanan segera McDonald's dan GrabFood kerana ingin mencari rezeki di samping mengumpul wang bagi mendirikan rumah tangga bersama kekasih hati.

Image via Twitter @syafieqisa

Image via Twitter @syafieqisa

Sebelum ini, Amirul merupakan bekas pemain bola sepak bagi pasukan Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL). Namun begitu, selepas mengalami kecederaan hamstring pada Julai tahun lalu, Amirul kini hanya berkhidmat sebagai jurulatih bola sepak yang hanya dibayar RM50 saja untuk setiap kali sesi latihan.

Image via Twitter @syafieqisa

“Oleh kerana jumlah pendapatan diterima tidak menentu, saya nekad mencari pekerjaan lain dan akhirnya diterima bekerja sebagai penghantar makanan di restoran makanan segera pada Januari lalu walaupun tidak mempunyai pengalaman,” katanya kepada Harian Metro.

Amirul bekerja sebagai penghantar makanan McDonald's bermula dari 8 pagi sehingga 4 petang, dan antara 5 petang hingga 11 malam, dia berkhidmat pula sebagai penghantar GrabFood

“Mulanya memang kekok tetapi kini tidak lagi. Malah, saya sudah selesa melakukan dua pekerjaan setiap hari memandangkan misi saya untuk mendirikan rumah tangga dengan teman wanita pada hujung tahun depan," ujar anak kedua daripada empat beradik itu.

Bercakap tentang gambarnya yang tular, Amirul berkata dia tidak sangka perkongsiannya itu telah mendapat perhatian warganet.

“Gambar berserta kapsyen ringkas itu dimuat naik tengah hari tadi ketika sedang berehat dan sebenarnya didedikasikan kepada teman wanita saya bagi menggembirakannya.

“Tak sangka pula ia boleh tular dan Alhamdulillah, ramai yang memberi kata semangat dan saya berharap perkongsian itu memberi inspirasi kepada orang ramai terutama anak muda di luar sana yang sedang berusaha mencari pekerjaan,” katanya.

These Vietnamese Soldiers Prove That There Is More Than 1 Way To Use Sanitary Pads

A social media post about a group of innovative military men using sanitary pads in Vietnam has been circulating the Internet recently... but it's not for the reasons you might think

Image via Yuxuan.FC

The post, which was uploaded on Sunday, 12 August, showed photos of the men using sanitary pads to line the soles of their military boots.Though it might sound strange to the layman, there is quite a reasonable explanation for the practice.

Image via Yuxuan.FC

It is believed that the sanitary napkins are able to reduce bad foot odour and rid bacteria during the soldiers' training

Sanitary pads have long been used to reduce excess sweat - some people even used them under their armpits. According to Sora News, a Chinese entrepreneur once set up a business selling sanitary pads to male students who were about to attend military training. It was a way to reduce odour and "stinky feet germs".

Image via Yuxuan.FC

Image via Yuxuan.FC

This is not the first time soldiers have used sanitary pads for themselves

In fact, disposable sanitary pads were initially created to help save wounded soldiers from excessive bleeding on the battlefield. It was only later when nurses who served during wartime started to use sanitary pads for their menstrual cycles.

As the saying goes, "If it looks stupid but works, then it isn't stupid."

You do you, soldiers.

Here's how much space my iPhone 5S had before the trick.

Next, open the iTunes app and rent a super long movie. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King" is a good choice at 9.94GB. The key here is to rent a movie that's bigger than the space you have left.

Proceed to tap the Rent button twice. When the pop up appears, tap Settings.

Don't worry, you won't end up renting anything and will not be charged.

Now check out your storage space! You should see a couple hundred megabytes' worth of additional available storage - possibly even more!

You could repeat the process and continue to free up more storage space!

The best part of this trick? It doesn't delete any important stuff like photos, music or apps! MIND BLOWN!

Some Redditors are suggesting that the trick probably clears out caches that shouldn't be full in the first place - suggesting a storage space issue or bug.

Whatever the reasons may be, we are certainly delighted that it works! If you've tried the trick, leave a comment below with your results.

Speaking of which, have you seen the new iPhone SE?

[VIDEO] How A Chinese Factory Makes Fake Budweiser By Filling Used Cans With Beer

If you recently ordered a can of Budweiser beer at a bar in China, did it taste a bit off?

Image via Times News Feed

If your answer to that question is a resounding "Yes", we've got some pretty disgusting news for you.

A small factory in China was recently found making counterfeit cans of Budweiser beer

Image via Shanghaiist

Numerous video clips from a factory in the industrial city of Dongguan, China has since emerged online and gone viral on social media. In the clips, workers dunked used cans into a tub of beer (we presume it's beer) with their bare hands and filled the cans.

The filled cans were then sent down a conveyor belt to be sealed

Image via giphy.com

According to Mashable, the factory was churning out 600,000 cartons of counterfeit Buds each month, sending them to bars and nightclubs until they were finally busted on 5 May.

Budweiser, which stated that it has not franchised its operations to a third party, had already filed complaints and is now seeking legal action

Image via Budweiser

Anheuser-Busch, the brewing company behind Budweiser, has 15 breweries outside of the US, 14 of them in China, helping Budweiser become the country's third biggest beer brand by 2014, and a prime target for counterfeit breweries.

Take a look at the jaw-dropping video:

Recently, a video of a "click farm" based in China has emerged online and it's pretty... disturbing:

Delivery Rider Who Returned A Lost Wallet Gets An Opportunity To Make Extra Income

Last year, a GrabFood delivery rider returned a lost wallet he found in Petaling Jaya to its owner in Klang.
Little did he know that his good deed would soon lead to an opportunity to make extra money during this trying time.

Dedee Laksmana Ra found the wallet by the roadside in the middle of delivering an order in Damansara on 17 September 2020.He kept the wallet in his food warmer bag, thinking he would return it during his off-hours.However, he forgot about the wallet when he returned home in Sungai Buloh that night. While checking his delivery bag, he realised that the wallet was still sitting there.He then looked through the wallet in the hope to find the details about the owner. He identified the name and owner's address from an identification card.Dedee searched the name up on Facebook and found a match where the photo on the identification card looked identical to the profile picture on Facebook. He sent the Facebook user a message, but received no reply.

The next morning, Dedee decided to personally return the wallet to its owner, who was believed to be living in Klang

Speaking to SAYS, the 39-year-old said he crossed his fingers and hoped to find the wallet's owner, then rode from Sungai Buloh to Klang."If I couldn't find her, I would hand the wallet to a nearby police station," he said over a phone call interview."It took me about an hour from my home to arrive at the address stated on the IC. I have never made any delivery more than 20 minutes as a GrabFood rider." In the end, the wallet was returned. The owner was not at home when Dedee visited. It was the owner's mother who received on her behalf.On 17 September, the owner wrote a heartfelt post on Facebook, thanking Dedee for saving her so much trouble.

The post quickly went viral and caught many Malaysians' attention, including Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock restauranteur Ernest Ong

According to Dedee, Ong managed to track him down and invited him for a free meal."He said I could bring whatever number of people to his restaurant to eat. So I brought my family there, but he wasn't at the restaurant when I visited," Dedee related."It was only last week I met him."The GrabFood rider said that Ong recently launched a new range of products and he asked if he could become an agent to help him sell the products.Ong quickly agreed. Dedee currently sells Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock 3-In-1 White Coffee as his side business.

"I am a GrabFood rider, I do sell other things, and now I help Ong sell his coffee sachets," he said, adding that he managed to sell quite a lot of them after Ong promoted the product on Facebook."I am selling the coffee online. One bag costs RM14 and it comes in three flavours: original, less sugar, and no sugar. I charge a flat rate — RM5 — for delivery for anyone living in Klang Valley."Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dedee said that he was a lorry driver. He lost his job after the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) and decided to become a GrabFood rider to make ends meet.If you want to purchase Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock 3-In-1 White Coffee from Dedee, you can make an order via WhatsApp at +6012-2735485 or reach him on Facebook here.

Isu Hukum Haram Berniaga 'Live Cedok' Di TikTok, Ini Penjelasan PU Amin & Pakar Muamalat

Jika dilihat di media sosial ketika ini, pelbagai trend berniaga dilakukan oleh seller bagi melariskan produk jualan mereka

Antara salah satunya ialah kaedah 'live cedok' dengan menjual pelbagai jenis barangan seperti kosmetik, gula-gula dan kerongsang.Menerusi kaedah berkenaan, si penjual akan mencedok barangan jualan mengikut jumlah yang dibayar pembeli secara rawak.Meskipun trend tersebut mendapat sambutan, namun ramai dalam kalangan netizen mempersoalkan hukum jual beli tersebut sama ada ia dibenarkan di sisi Islam ataupun tidak.

Image via TikTok

Hukum jual beli menerusi kaedah 'live cedok adalah haram di sisi Islam

Menerusi satu perkongsian di Facebook Muamalat.my, seorang individu mengajukan soalan tentang hukum jual beli 'live cedok' yang menjadi trend pada masa kini. Soalan di Inbox:Assalamualaikum, saya nak bertanya soalan berkenaan dengan jual beli masa kini. Saya ada tengok yang orang jual guna kaedah cedok cedok secara live dekat TikTok/IG story. apakah hukumnya ya? adakah sah jual beli tersebut? kiranya pembeli tak boleh pilih. Penjual akan jual contohnya 1 cedok barang makeup RM80.Pembeli pun decide nak beli 1 cedok. Jadi penjual akan cedokkan secara live 1 cedok tersebut. Barang yang akan pembeli dapat nanti random apa yang dicedokkan oleh penjual tu.Jawapan:Menjual dengan cara ini adalah sama seperti jual beli gharar yang diharamkan oleh Nabi SAW. Ia sama bentuk seperti jual beli al-mulamasah yang diharamkan kerana unsur gharar fahisy yang jelas.Rasulullah SAW telah melarang jual beli al-mulamasah dan al-munabadhah. (Sahih Bukhari dan Muslim)

Image via TikTok

Menurut Imam Nawawi, al-mulamasah adalah bentuk jual beli barangan seperti  baju yang mana disentuh oleh pembeli dalam gelap tanpa melihat, dikira jual. Mulamasah juga jual beli yang berlaku ke atas mana-mana barangan, tanpa melihat secara terperinci, maka dikira jual dan tidak boleh lagi ada pilihan.Jual beli sebegini, menurut Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani sebagai bentuk jual beli jahiliah.Imam Nawawi menyifatkan jual beli sebegini adalah batil, tak sah kerana mengandungi unsur gharar.Rasulullah SAW melarang keras bentuk jual beli gharar (Sahih Muslim). Gharar ialah jual beli yang mana pembeli tidak dapat pastikan barangan yang akan diperolehi (mastur al-aqibah). Bahkan bentuk dan struktur jual beli tersebut sudah dicipta untuk mewujudkan unsur ketidakpastian.

Gharar ada dua keadaan, sama ada gharar wujud, yang mana struktur asas jual beli itu tidak dapat dipastikan barangan diperoleh atau tidak.Keduanya gharar al-siffah, iaitu ketidakpastian tentang produk jenis apa yang bakal diperolehi.Cedok-cedok adalah sama sama dengan jual beli mulamasah yang mana jelas struktur asasnya jualan berbentuk gharar. Ini kerana apa yang akan diperoleh oleh pembeli belum pasti dan tiada sebarang aras minimum barangan yang boleh dipastikan untuk diperolehi. Hati-hatilah sama ada penjual atau pembeli, kedua-duanya diharamkan terlibat dalam aktiviti seperti ini. Ia adalah amalan jahiliah yang tidak wajar dijadikan bisnes mahupun sengaja nak buat konten. Mungkin ada orang kata, ala, setakat jual 5 ringgit gula-gula je. Oleh kerana by structure ia adalah gharar maka ia tetap haram.

PU Amin tampil beri penjelasan mengenai isu hukum haram 'live cedok'

  @ustazamirulamin Inshallah masih awal untuk stop. Kita tegur tanda sayang. Moga Allah berkati rezeki kita. Maafkan saya kerana menasihati.  Emotional Islamic Music - Arslan Chaudhry

Perkongsian video PU Amin mengenai hukum trend niaga cedok di TikTok ini sangat jelas. Rata-rata netizen turut meninggalkan pelbagai reaksi mereka mengenai perkongsian rakaman ini.Malah, ada yang memberitahu mereka juga ada menegur segelintir penjual di TikTok yang berniaga cara 'live cedok' itu, tapi tidak diendahkan.Ketika artikel ini ditulis, video berkenaan telah meraih 652.7K views, 76.4K likes dan 3,163 comments di TikTok.Berikut antara komen menarik netizen di TikTok:

You'll Want To Fly With 'Captain Pantun' After Listening To His Hilarious In-Flight Speech

The captain of an AirAsia flight brought his passengers to fits of giggles when he delivered one of the most entertaining pre-take off announcements we've ever heard!

Image via Trip Advisor

A recording of the bilingual announcement was posted on Facebook by Izwah Ibrahim on 5 June. It has since gone viral with more than 478k views and 14k shares at the time of writing!

The captain of the flight, believed to be Shahirul 'Alim Aminudin a.k.a. Captain Shaha, had everyone tickled pink when he started off with a joke about the in-flight meal service...

"Two things will happen once we start service.Number one, the smell may flow through the cabin, that is normal. Number two, the smell is free, so you don't have to worry about that.But if you need to check with the cabin crew on what is left on their meal cart, you can always do that."

... before launching into a surprise pantun empat kerat (four-lined poem) about cup noodles:

Pendek sangat masa penerbangan, Makanan yang dijual barangkali tak banyak pilihan;Yang dijual mungkin mee dalam cawan,Cepat dimasak sedap dimakan.Translation:The flight duration is very short, There's probably not much choice in the food sold;They might be selling cup noodles,Quickly cooked and good to eat.

As he updated passengers on weather conditions and take-off details, Captain Shaha managed to slip yet another pantun into his delightful announcement:

Perut lapar mencari nasi,Jangan dilupa sambal terung;Maklumat penerbangan saya dah kongsi,Jangan kau kata kapten tak payung.Translation:A hungry stomach yearns for rice,Don't forget brinjal sambal,I have shared the flight information, Don't say I (the captain) didn't give it to you.

According to Izwah, the captain made several announcements during the flight, often starting with, "This is your tour guide speaking."

"He was really like a tour guide coz he told us what we could see below depending on which side of the aircraft we were seated," she wrote.

Others who have previously flown with the captain said that he does the same in most of his flights, and even steps out of his cockpit to see passengers off upon arrival

Man, we hope we'll get to fly with Captain Shaha too! You can listen to his hilarious announcement here:

Nightclubs will finally be allowed to resume operations from 15 May

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin made the announcement, along with the relaxation of several other COVID-19 standard operating procedures (SOP) in a press conference yesterday, 27 April.He said that all activities on the National Security Council's (MKN) negative list will be allowed from 15 May.Nightclubs, which have not been allowed to operate  since the first Movement Control Order (MCO) in March 2020, were the only premises remaining in the negative list as of 1 April this year.

Khairy said the date is set to allow the ministries more time to decide on necessary operation protocols for the safety of patrons

"The related agencies are currently discussing the SOPs," Khairy said.According to Free Malaysia Today, he added that the Ministry of Health (MOH) recently met with organisations representing nightclubs and that there were protocols suggested by both parties."These protocols will be brought to MKN to be decided on," he said when asked on the implementation of COVID-19 SOPs.

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Last month, Khairy said that nightclubs will remain on the negative list even with the country's transition to the endemic phase from 1 April, as these premises were still considered "high risk"

This was despite allowing pubs and bars, as well as other indoor events and places of worship, to be exempt from physical distancing requirements.Last year, New Straits Times reported thirteen business groups and coalitions asking the government to urgently abolish the negative list that nightclubs were still on.The groups stressed that Malaysia will lose out on foreign tourists and revenue, as well as put 150,000 to 200,000 jobs at stake if the nightclub and entertainment industry remained closed.

MOH also announced that people may choose not to wear face masks when they are in outdoor areas from 1 May:

                You Can Choose Not To Wear Face Masks Outdoor From 1 May

Members of the public no longer need to check-in via MySejahtera to enter premises or public spaces as well.

See The New Dyson Vacuum Cleaner We Flew To Bangkok For

There's something exciting about a Dyson machine.
The curves are futuristic while hints of bright purple and red wrap around the cylindrical shell. A quick peep inside the transparent plastic case lets you see what's under the hood.

Image via SAYS

You almost need to pinch yourself to remember it's a vacuum cleaner

Image via SAYS

It's hard not to think of vacuum cleaners when Dyson comes up in conversation. The company's origin story has been told many times: In a nutshell, James Dyson’s frustration with insufficient suction led him to invent the bagless vacuum cleaner 34 years ago.The vacuum cleaners were not just improved versions of the household appliance; Dyson made sure they looked stunning as well.

The most recent iteration is an improved version of its V8 machine, a cordless vacuum cleaner that can be converted into a handheld for spot cleaning and cleaning difficult places

Dyson design engineer Sam Twist explaining the mechanics behind the V8 Carbon Fibre.
Image via Dyson

We were invited to a special launch event in Bangkok where the UK-based tech company unveiled the latest addition to its range of cord-free vacuum cleaners: the V8 Carbon Fibre.The new device utilises the same technology from previous Dyson machines which provides optimum cleaning capabilities. But with the addition of a better battery pack and engine, the V8 Carbon Fibre certainly packs a stronger punch as compared to its predecessors.

For starters, the V8 Carbon Fibre has increased Air Watts (AW) by 30%. In other words – the new machine is now even better at what it does.

Image via Dyson

That capability was shown off in a curious exhibition, one that entailed a vacuum-sealed container and some water. This machine certainly sucks, in the best possible way.

The vacuum's chamber consists of 15 cyclones working together to increase airflow and capture fine dust. It is tightly sealed so you won't have to worry about dust spillage.

During the event, there was a hands-on session where we were tasked to make a mess (literally) and clean it up afterwards.From corn chips to oregano, sprinkles to baking soda; we tried the vacuum and everything became squeaky clean in an instant.

This machine runs on an improved battery pack that's capable of 40 minutes of non-stop vacuuming on low power mode

Dyson says the nickel-cobalt-aluminium battery does not fade over time. There's a battery runtime indicator that gives you a visual indication of cleaning time remaining.

Dyson engineers made the machine with versatility and durability in mind. The brush bars and heads have been re-engineered with carbon fibre; a material known for high stiffness and strength.

The heads allow for cleaning a variety of textured spaces. There’s a tool specifically designed for carpets, hardwood floors, mattresses, and even one for cleaning up pet fur.Various accessories, like a multi-angle brush, allow you to modify the machine to clean hard to reach areas.Rounding off the futuristic, almost cyberpunk-like appeal, is a wall-mounted charging dock that also acts as a placement stand.

Who knew a vacuum cleaner could look this sexy?

The Dyson V8 Carbon Fibre will be available in Malaysia this February. It will retail at RM3,399.

Here Are The 5 Most Common Cancers In Malaysian Women & How You Can Detect Them Early

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

Nobody likes to talk about cancer or falling sick.
However, empowering yourself with knowledge can help you find them early and possibly prevent yourself from ever getting cancer.

It was a sobering moment for Malaysians when multitalented singer and actress Adibah Noor passed away too soon at the age of 51 in June this year, succumbing to ovarian cancer that she found out too advanced and too late at stage four.In this article, we are going to list the common cancers in women, how to detect them early, as well as the risk factors and lifestyle choices that may lead to developing cancer.

Here are the most common types of cancer among women in Malaysia (listed in descending order):

1. Breast cancer

According to the Malaysian National Cancer Registry Report, breast cancer is the most common cancer among Malaysian women, with its incidence being three times higher than the next most common cancer.It is reported that about one in 19 women in the country are at risk of developing breast cancer some time in their lives. Chinese women are at greatest risk, followed by Indian and Malay.It is also found that a high number of breast cancer cases (40%) identified in Malaysia were already in advanced stages of the disease.But, as with most cancers, the earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed, the better the chances are of successful treatment.The Ministry of Health (MOH) recommends the following screening routines, depending on a woman's risk of breast cancer:– Women ages 50 to 74 should start two-yearly breast cancer screening with a mammogram (X-ray of the breast).– Women at high risk for breast cancer – due to family history, never having children, on long-term hormone replacement therapy, or other lifestyle risk factors – should consider screening mammography earlier at 30 to 39 years of age, then annually from 40 onwards.– Women with known genetic mutation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes may consider annual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from 30 years of age and annual mammography from 40 onwards.In addition, women of all ages should be conducting breast self-examinations to be aware and to detect any changes in how their breasts look and feel.

2. Colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer or colon cancer, is cancer that starts in the large intestine or rectum. They usually begin as a small growth called a polyp.Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer among women in Malaysia, and also the most common cancer among men in the country.The incidence is high among Chinese, compared to Malay and Indian, and increases with age, peaking at age 70.Although colorectal cancer can be detected early by screening, more than 70% of colorectal cancer patients in Malaysia were diagnosed late at stage three or four at the time of diagnosis.MOH recommends the following screening routine for colorectal cancer:– Individuals of no known risk should take a yearly faecal occult blood test (FOBT) from 50 to 75 years old, before a colonoscopy is considered.– Individuals with known risk factors – including positive family history, having underlying inflammatory bowel disease or inherited conditions such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) – should consult their doctor for earlier detection.Other risk factors for colorectal cancer include lack of physical activity, obesity, smoking, alcohol, and high intake of fats, sugar, and red and processed meat.

3. Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a cancer that originates from the cervix – the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.The incidence is highest among Indians, followed by Chinese and Malays, and increases after 30 years of age, peaking at the age of 65.The main risk factor of cervical cancer is a sexually transmitted infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV). In fact, according to the World Health Organization, virtually all cervical cancer cases (99%) are caused by a HPV infection.Therefore, practicising safe sex, taking the HPV vaccine and going for regular screening can prevent and help find changes in the cervix that can be treated before they become cancer.Since 2010, MOH has been giving free HPV vaccinations to all 13-year-old girls in government and private schools. They also recommend women until the age of 26 to get the vaccine if they were not vaccinated when younger.The ministry also recommends all women between the ages of 20 and 65 years who are, or have been, sexually active to get a Pap smear at least once every three years.

4. Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries.Ovarian cancer is common in women above 40 years and peaks among 55 to 60 year olds, but it can also occur in women of less than 20 years old.It is the fourth most common cancer among Malaysian women and is difficult to be detected early (as compared to the three previous cancers) as the organs lie deep within the pelvis and have no specific symptoms.Unfortunately, there is also no single effective method of screening for the general public or women with no known risk of the disease.The best prevention is to understand the risk factors associated with ovarian cancer and seek a specialist for personal advice, including:– A family history of cancer– Have never had children– Had their first child after the age of 35– Have been on long-term oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapyAlso, seek a medical professional if you notice changes to your body. Early signs of ovarian cancer can often be mistaken as common indigestion, and may present as:– Abdominal swelling with weight loss– Digestive problems (including loss of appetite and bloating)– Abdominal or pelvic pain– Feeling like you need to urinate all the time

5. Lung cancer

Lung cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women in Malaysia, and the second most common among men. It is the leading cause of cancer death in Malaysia. Most lung cancers (90%) are caused by smoking, whether it is active or passive secondhand smoke.In the US, the American Cancer Society recommends an annual low-dose CT scan for current or former smokers ages 55 to 74.However, in Malaysia, there is no screening guideline by the MOH for lung cancer as there are no cost-effective methods to detect it in the general population.Thus, the most effective method to prevent lung cancer is to reduce exposure to tobacco smoke and advise smokers to quit smoking.According to MOH, when a smoker quits smoking, their risk of lung cancer is reduced. The risk of a smoker getting lung cancer becomes the same as non-smokers if they manage to quit for longer than 15 years.

What else you can do to help reduce your general cancer risk

According to National Cancer Society Malaysia, there are modifiable risk factors – also known as lifestyle factors – that Malaysians can change to reduce their general risk of cancer.This is what you can also do to reduce your risk of cancer:– Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.– Follow a healthy eating pattern that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, and limit red or processed meats, and other highly processed foods.– Reduce your consumption of alcohol.– Stay away from tobacco.– Protect your skin with sunscreen (skin cancer is another common type of cancer).– Know yourself, your family history, and your risks.– Have regular check-ups and cancer screening tests.

Put yourself first! Here are more stories on basic examinations you can do for cervical cancer and breast cancer prevention:

The Rawang Factory Linked To Selangor River Pollution To Be Evicted From The Land It Owns

Today, 5 September, Selangor Mentri Besar (MB) Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari announced that a machine factory in Rawang that is under investigation for polluting the Selangor River will soon be evicted

The state government has instructed the factory owners to evict the land and demolish the building.According to Amirudin, this is because the owners of the private land, on which the heavy machinery maintenance factory is situated, does not have the planning and development approval from the Selayang City Council to erect the building, reported Malaysiakini.He said that the state government will undertake the demolition of the factory building in Rawang if its owners, who are four brothers, haven't done it after a certain period of time."The city council will determine whether the operations are suitable or not. For now, we will close the premises for at least three to four months before it is truly safe," Amirudin said.

For now, the Gombak land office will issue a 7A notice to remedy the breach after the factory was found to be the cause of the pollution

"(The factory) will be sent this notice for them to vacate and tear down their factory for remedial efforts. We have also asked Air Selangor and Tenaga Nasional Bhd to cut water and power supply to this factory to prevent them from operating," the Selangor MB said at a press conference.The Gombak District and Land Office's (PDT) Notice 7A is a "notice to remedy a breach of condition" and requires the offending party to restore the land, demolish its buildings, and cease operating."The instructions are contained in PDT Gombak's Notice 7A, which will be handed over to the owner of the land who is currently running a factory that repairs heavy machinery," he said.

He revealed that while authorities had already issued a notice to the factory in March, the owners stubbornly began operating again in June

"The authorities had taken the appropriate action. The Department of Environment had issued a compound, and this was followed by a notice from the Selayang Municipal Council. But the operations still continued. This time, we have strong enough evidence," Amirudin said."I think after two incidents, we will check as thoroughly as possible to ensure that the factory does not operate because they have caused trouble for 1.97 million accounts throughout Selangor."

Last night, the four owners of the factory, identified as Yip Chee Seng & Sons Sdn Bhd, were arrested and have been remanded for six days

They were transported to the Selayang Court, where they were remanded for six days beginning today, 5 September to assist in ongoing investigations over the industrial effluent pollution incident in the Sungai Gong Industrial Area in Rawang, Selangor, according to a report in New Straits Times.The four of them have been running the factory since their father, the original owner, died.The case is being probed under Section 430 of the Penal Code.The factory reportedly neglected proper procedure when it comes to storing waste oil and is a repeat offender. It was previously fined RM60,000 for a similar offence.

For the record, the plot in Kampung Sungai Dua in Rawang where the machinery maintenance factory is located also houses another premise by the name of AAY Construction Sdn Bhd.

Meanwhile, starting 5 September, water supply in four areas has resumed with a full recovery to be restored by Wednesday:

As of Saturday afternoon, four districts have begun receiving water.

Here's What Really Happens To Your Body When You Don't Eat Enough Fruits And Veggie

Are you getting enough fruits and veggies every day?

We all know that fruits and vegetables offer many nutrients that are good for our overall health, but how many of us are actually consuming the recommended amount of at least five portions per day?With our hectic lifestyles, it can be difficult to keep track of our daily fruit and vegetable needs.

But why are fruits and vegetables so important? Well, here's what happens to your body when you don't get enough of it:

1. You feel super bloated and uncomfortable

Image via Tenor

Fruits and vegetables provide much needed fibre to your body, and helps waste get pushed efficiently out of your colon. If you're not eating enough fruits, you'll likely experience excess gas, causing the dreaded feeling of bloating. Too much salt in your diet also leads to bloating, but fruits that are packed with potassium and water can help counter this.

2. You aren't as happy as you could be

Image via Gif Bin

According to research, people who eat more fruits are actually happier! While the reason isn't 100% clear yet, experts believe fruits with Carotenoids and Vitamin B12 may boost serotonin in our brains, which is known as a "happy hormone."

3. Your immune system won't be as strong and you'll fall sick more often

Image via Reaction GIFs

Fruits and vegetables both provide antioxidants that not only help keep your skin healthy, they also fight overall inflammation throughout your body. So it's true what they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

4. You'll miss vital nutrition you can't get elsewhere

Image via Eat This edited by SAYS

Fruits contain some of the most vital nutrients for our health, eating too few can result in nutrient deficiencies:Lack of vitamin C can lead to weakness, irritability, and fatigue. In severe cases, you might even contract scurvy, which includes having bleeding gums!Lack of folate can lead to anemiaLack of vitamin B6 can lead to depression and confusionLack of magnesium can lead to general weaknessLack of vitamin K can lead to hemorrhagingLack of potassium can lead to irregular heartbeatOf course, you can get these nutrients in other food, but fruits and vegetables contain high concentrations and are great sources of goodness!

5. You may actually gain weight

Image via SAYS

Research in the US has shown that people who are overweight or obese eat less fruits and vegetables than normal-weight groups. If you're not eating fruits and veggies, is it because you're eating foods with higher fat content and calories? Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and energy density, which means you can eat more and feel full and happy with fewer calories.

6. You could develop digestive problems

Image via Shutterstock edited by SAYS

We all know that fibre is essential to help push food through and prevent constipation. But did you know that the fibre found in fruits and vegetables also helps your body:Eliminate toxinsImprove immune functionRegulate appetite and blood sugar levelsReduce cholesterolPromote a healthy digestive systemSuperfoods like kale are great for digestion because of its high fibre content. Not to mention, it also has a low calorie count, zero fat, and loads of important nutrients, vitamins, and much more!

7. Your blood pressure may rise

Image via India Forums

Fruits and veggies that are rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium, help reduce the sodium in your diet, and thus lowering blood pressure. So to avoid turning into the Hulk, grab a tall glass of juice and drink it to the last drop!

8. You're at greater risk of getting heart diseases

Image via Pop Key

On top of lowering your blood pressure, a study has revealed that people who eat 8 or more fruits and veggies a day are 30% less likely to have a heart attack or stroke.

9. You’re more likely to develop diabetes

Image via Disqus

Weight gain is commonly associated with diabetes. So if you're eating a lot of high-density foods instead of fruits and vegetables, and are gaining unhealthy amounts of weight, you could be at risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes. So put down the junk food and grab a fruit instead!

10. Your risk of cancer could increase

Image via Receptra Naturals

While there is no specific food that can protect you from cancer, a diet that includes antioxidants like Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Carotenoids, may reduce cancer risks by protecting healthy cells from free radicals. You can get antioxidants from kale, blueberries, blackberries and more.Of course, vitamins alone will not fully protect you and it's important to remember to continue leading a healthy lifestyle to lower your risk.

Ideally you should be getting at least two helpings of fruits and three helpings of vegetables a day. But that can be tough with your busy lifestyle, especially if you're not a fan either one!

Haidilao M'sia Introduces Online Queue System So You Don't Have To Start Lining Up At 10AM

Looks like hopeful diners will no longer have to wait for hours to get a table at Haidilao Hot Pot

Image via SAYS Makan

The popular hot pot chain has introduced an online queueing system that allows customers to enter the line remotely instead of physically showing up to get a number. Here's how it works:

1. Scan any of the QR codes below according to the outlet you're planning to go to

Do note that only ONE queue number can be registered for each mobile number at any point of time.

Image via Haidilao Malaysia Facebook

2. The link will take you to a page showing the current status of the queue. This is also where you will be required to enter your name, phone number, and the size of your dining group.

Image via Haidilao Malaysia

There are limited spots available for each time slot, so if you encounter the message below, it means that queue numbers for that time slot have been fully redeemed and you'll have to wait for the next release

Image via Haidilao Malaysia

Online queue numbers are released at 10.30am, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, and 10pm daily.

3. If you did manage to secure a queue number, all that's left to do is wait. You can refer to and refresh the lineup page to check your queueing status.

Image via SAYS Makan

Unfortunately, the system does not tell you the exact timeframe your number will be called, so you'll have to check your queueing status every now and then. IMPORTANT: Unlike physical queue numbers, your online queue number will be invalid 30 minutes after your number is called. Haidilao staff may also reject your party if you show them screenshots or shared links instead of the actual lineup page.

Good luck, happy queueing, and bon appetit!

The Government Is Considering Allowing Only Vaccinated Children To Enrol In Kindergarten

The Health Ministry of Malaysia is looking into a proposal that will only allow vaccinated children to be enrolled in kindergartens

Image via MIMS Pediatrics

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. S. Subramaniam explained that the proposal is not meant to be discriminatory, but rather, a preventive measure to protect children from contagious diseases

Image via N9Kini

"It is at the research stage. The decision will be made in line with Malaysians' acceptance on the need to vaccinate," he said, adding that the move is also practiced in Australia, where children are required to be vaccinated before they can be enrolled in preschool.

When asked if the government is planning to take sterner action on parents who refuse to vaccinate their children, Dr. Subramaniam said that the ministry is cooperating with other agencies to provide accurate information on the importance of vaccination

"Among measures being implemented are the setting up of an immunisation advocacy group, organising forums with the cooperation of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) and providing information on the MyHealth portal website for the reference of the community," he added.

The proposed approach has already received support from the National Union of Teaching Profession (NUTP), who expressed that teachers are ready to act as a medium to relay information on the measure to parents

Image via The Malaysian Medical Gazette

Speaking to the New Straits Times, NUTP president Kamarozaman Abdul Razak said that the union applauds the move to make vaccination a compulsory condition for enrolment, adding that it is a step towards ensuring future generations are protected from deadly diseases.

Kamarozaman also suggested that officials from the Health Ministry and health experts should go on-ground to explain and dispel myths about vaccination, as some parents may feel like they are being forced to vaccinate their children

"We hope Health Ministry officers could talk to (parents) directly, in villages, cities, and come to the schools too. Parents can come to the schools and listen to the talks. The teachers are always ready to assist further. Teachers can campaign on this, educate students on its importance so that those with younger siblings understand the importance too," he told New Straits Times.

Do you think the ministry should make it compulsory for children to be vaccinated before they are allowed to enrol in kindergarten? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.


Nampak Bersih, Hakikatnya Lantai Hospital Penuh Dengan Bekas Nanah, Darah, & Urin Pesakit

Sebab utama pihak hospital melarang pelawat daripada membawa kanak-kanak di bawah umur 12 tahun untuk melawat adalah lebih kepada keselamatan daripada ancaman virus

Malangnya, kebanyakan ibu bapa di luar sana tidak mengambil serius tentang nasihat yang diberikan oleh pihak hospital. Malah, mereka masih lagi berdegil dan membawa kanak-kanak datang ke hospital. Paling teruk, mereka langsung tidak pedulikan kebersihan dan keselamatan mereka.Contohnya seperti situasi memasukkan kembali puting anak yang telah jatuh di lantai hospital TANPA membasuhnya.

Bukankah ianya membahayakan anak sendiri?

Seorang pengguna Facebook iaitu Faisal Firdaus telah membincangkan isu ini dengan serius dan juga menyenaraikan kesan buruk yang bakal menimpa kanak-kanak jika kebersihan tidak diutamakan

Berkilatkan lantai depan ICU ni? Sampaikan ada pelawat boleh duduk, bawa kanak-kanak dan baring-baring di atas lantai. Puting anak jatuh lepas itu dimasukkan balik dalam mulut anak. Tak basuh pun, hanya kemam-kemam je dan terus bagi anak. ADOIIII!!!!Kak, abg, pakcik, makcik, apa yang kalian nampak tu tak sebersih rumah anda. Ya, memang betul kami mop, buffing lantai setiap hari. Tapi apa sebenarnya yang tertumpah atas lantai itu?Darah, nanah, lendir, urin pesakit yang dimasukkan ke dalam hospital. Memang tak nampak sebab dah dibersihkan. Namun, kuman masih ada disitu. Tak 100% bersih pun.

Menurut seorang Doktor iaitu Dr Mohd Sany, antara 'monster' yang bakal membunuh anak kalian adalah:

Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, E coli, Staph aureus, Streptocococus, Bukholderia dan pelbagai lagi penyakit berbahaya yang lain.Jika anda tak sayangkan anak-anak, biarkanlah mereka bergolek-goleh di atas kuman-kuman itu. Maaf jika bahasa terkasar. Hospital ini bukan tempat rekreasi tuan puan. Ini adalah tempat berkumpulnya segala penyakit. Semua jenis penyakit ada di sini.Dan anda sebagai yang cerdik dan pandai bawa anak-anak untuk mencari penyakit lalu kongsi dengan yang lain? Tidak sepatutnya.Saya sebagai staff hospital mohon anda minimakan kehadiran ke hospital bersama anak-anak. Yang sakit, anda lawatlah. Tapi kanak-kanak yang sihat biarkan mereka sihat. Penyakit di sini bukan calang-calang. Dan kebanyakannya sangat tinggi risiko untuk membawa maut kepada anak anda.

Syarikat di India kenakan denda kalau ganggu pekerja yang sedang bercuti

Sebuah syarikat di New Delhi, India telah memperkenalkan dasar mendenda setiap individu yang mengganggu hari cuti pekerja lain.Menurut sumber, syarikat Dream11 iaitu sebuah platform sukan fantasi telah memperkenalkan dasar ‘Dream11 Unplug’ kepada setiap pekerjanya untuk membantu mereka berehat pada hari cuti mereka.Dasar itu juga tidak membenarkan seseorang yang sedang bercuti untuk terlibat dengan urusan kerja seperti berbual dengan kumpulan mahupun e-mel.

Keluarkan pekerja dari setiap platform komunikasi

Menurut pengasas syarikat tersebut, dasar yang ditetapkan itu setakat ini sudah berjaya dilaksanakan.“Sekali setahun, selama seminggu pekerja akan dikeluarkan dari sistem (syarikat) selain tidak mempunyai Slack (aplikasi), e-mel dan panggilan. Sesiapa yang menghubungi pekerja lain semasa ‘unplug’ perlu membayar denda lebih kurang AS$1,200 (RM5,246.64).” kata Harsh Jain dan Bhavit iaitu dua pengasas syarikat Dream11 kepada CNBC.Menerusi satu lagi kenyataan yang dikeluarkan pada Februari tahun lalu di LinkedIn, syarikat itu menyatakan mereka menyekat semua pekerja yang sedang bercuti dari setiap platform komunikasi seperti Slack, e-mel dan juga WhatsApp kumpulan.

Wah, dekat India dah berkesan cara ni. Anda rasa patut tak syarikat di Malaysia perkenalkan dasar yang sama?
