So is cyber bullying. Some Malaysians wanted to stand up for Uncle Sim, but in doing so, the road bully became a victim of cyberbullying.

Malaysians can laugh and joke about any situation. We are also very creative when it comes to creating memes.

But many of us want to overlook race and religion

“During that incident, many netizens had condemned the woman for her behaviour, and had even made her information public to others. “This shows the power of the internet, and I urge netizens to be responsible with this tremendous amount of power,” publicity bureau deputy chairman Marco Yap said, adding that if used responsibly, the internet can be used for much good.

“I believe she was angry at what I had done. Although I was traumatised by the incident, I promised her that I won’t be lodging a police report and have also forgiven her,” 67-year-old Sim Siak Hong was quoted as saying.

Although some did not appreciate the glamorising of bullies, they should realise that sensationalising the issue and going on a witch hunt turned Kiki into a "celebrity".

Most importantly, Malaysians applaud and respect people who are kind and forgiving - in this case, the uncle was the true hero among us. His actions spoke for himself.

Google Just Revealed Groundbreaking Contact Lenses That Might Help Diabetic Malaysians

Forget Google Glass, Google Just Gave Us A Preview Of Their New Smart Lens

Image via dailymail.co.uk

The Smart Lens Has A Tiny Wireless Chip And Glucose Censor That Monitors Your Blood Sugar Level In Your Tears

Image via dailymail.co.uk

'We’re also investigating the potential for this to serve as an early warning for the wearer, so we’re exploring integrating tiny LED lights that could light up to indicate that glucose levels have crossed above or below certain thresholds.

        dailymail.co.uk

Google says it is testing a "smart contact lens" that can help measure glucose levels in tears.

Just When The International Diabetes Federation Declares That The World Is "Losing The Battle" Against Diabetes, Two Guys At Google Decided To Give This Project A Shot

Image via theatlantic.com

It is hoped that campaigns such as today’s World Diabetes Day will continue to raise the voice of people with diabetes and to encourage all stakeholders to move from advocacy to action on a global scale.

        idf.org

We’ve always said that we’d seek out projects that seem a bit speculative or strange, and at a time when the International Diabetes Federation (PDF) is declaring that the world is “losing the battle” against diabetes, we thought this project was worth a shot.

        blogspot.co.uk

The Project's Founders Empathise With Diabetics, Including A Friend's Mum Who Once Fainted From Low Blood Sugar And Drove Her Car Off The Road

A friend of ours told us she worries about her mom, who once passed out from low blood sugar and drove her car off the road.
Many people I’ve talked to say managing their diabetes is like having a part-time job. Glucose levels change frequently with normal activity like exercising or eating or even sweating.

Problems That Diabetics Have To Face On A Daily Basis Include Monitoring Their Blood Sugar Level, Where They Must Prick Their Finger. "It’s Disruptive, And It's Painful."

Pricking the finger for glucose tests.
Image via express.co.uk

Although some people wear glucose monitors with a glucose sensor embedded under their skin, all people with diabetes must still prick their finger and test drops of blood throughout the day. It’s disruptive, and it’s painful. And, as a result, many people with diabetes check their blood glucose less often than they should.

Google Is Now Looking For Partners And Experts While Currently In Talks With The FDA (Food And Drugs Administration Of America)

We’re in discussions with the FDA, but there’s still a lot more work to do to turn this technology into a system that people can use. we plan to look for partners who are experts in bringing products like this to market. These partners will use our technology for a smart contact lens and develop apps that would make the measurements available to the wearer and their doctor.

As Of 2013, Malaysia Is Ranked #1 In SEA To Have The Highest Number Of Diabetics

An alarming 3.6 million adults are estimated to be affected by diabetes in Malaysia, according to the Obesity Prevention Council President, Jong Koi Chong.
Jong said the number was very high and has put Malaysia as the number one country in Asean for having the highest number of diabetics and sixth in the western pacific region.

The World Health Organisation Has Projected That Malaysia Will Have 2.48 Million Diabetics By 2030

According to the International Diabetes Federation, one in ten people across the world's population are forecast to have diabetes by 2035.
People suffering from the condition need to monitor their glucose levels regularly as sudden spikes or drops are dangerous.

        bbc.co.uk

The World Health Organisation has projected that Malaysia will have 2.48 million people with diabetes by 2030. Apparently, we are way ahead of the curve. Based on the 2011 National Health and Morbidity Survey, at least 2.6 million adults in the country already have diabetes.

Limkokwing Removes Racist Billboard Following Petition By Students

A popular Malaysian university is being called out by its students for having put up a racist poster earlier this year

Limkokwing University's poster shows its founder with the words 'King of Africa' above his head, standing next to a group of Sierra Leonean students.

In light of the recent #BlackLivesMatter protests, a petition was created on 7 June to call for the removal of the billboard. It has received over 1,800 signatures at the time of writing.

Image via Sam Chin (Provided to SAYS)

Several international students have been angry and hurt by the poster's insensitivity. However, they were unable to speak up for fear of losing their visas and having immigration issues.

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

The petition related the fear of speaking up to an incident that occurred last year when a Nigerian student, Thomas Orhions Ewansiha, passed away while under immigration custody.He was detained for two weeks to facilitate verification of his documents and college records but had reportedly passed away due to a seizure in the detention centre.

Image via Change.org

The petition explains several reasons why the billboard was 'insensitive'

The first point states that it is "incredibly condescending as it portrays him [Lim Kok Wing] as a saviour", perpetuating that black people need saving and psychologically placing them in an inferior role."The use of a jungle animal and reference to 'king' perpetuates ideas of Africa as one big jungle and adds to the (wrongful) animalistic characterisation of the students."

Image via Twitter (edited)

Lim Kok Wing was also seen standing in the middle of the group of students.
Image via Sam Chin (Provided to SAYS)

The second point explains that the photo was edited to increase the number of black students surrounding him, "further painting him as a 'hero'" and portraying that black people lack individuality."The use of the photo of his students in Sierra Leone pressing up against him is a common photo used by the media to portray black people as 'savage' and 'animalistic'. This may not have been his intention; however, I implore you to consider the implications of using photos like this knowing the current climate of the world and its views on people of African descent," reads the petition."They have a beautiful history of grace, of power, of kings and queens and it is a shame that people do not use photos like that to advertise the culture and lineages that Africa truly has."

Image via Sam Chin (Provided to SAYS)

In a statement to SAYS, Limkokwing University apologised and explained that they do not condone discrimination against any race

"We would like to extend our sincerest apology for any misunderstanding caused [and] have taken down the billboard a few days ago," the university said to SAYS."African students have studied with us since 2001 and the University is extremely proud to have supported Nelson Mandela's campaign for independence from the apartheid regime in 1994."We definitely do not condone any discriminatory acts against any particular race as that will be totally against our mandate.

Image via Studyco

"We would like to clarify we are passionate and dedicated to promoting peace and inclusivity as well as cater to each of our students regardless of race, religion, and nationality."At Limkokwing University, we acknowledge, respect, embrace, and celebrate our differences. We care deeply and we stand together against racial discrimination."

[FACT OR FAKE #37] Malaysia Has One Of The Slowest Internet Speeds In The World? How Can?

Before we get to the actual fact or fake analysis, here's some background about Internet in Malaysia and a few things worth noting:

1) The year 1995 was considered the beginning of the Internet age in Malaysia and the growth in the number of Internet hosts in Malaysia began around 1996.

        wikipedia.org

Image via cfr.org

2) The country's first search engine and web portal company, Cari Internet, was also founded in 1996.

        wikipedia.org

3) According to the first Malaysian Internet survey conducted from October to November 1995 by MIMOS and Beta Interactive Services, 1 out of every 1,000 Malaysians had access to the Internet (20,000 Internet users out of a population of 20 million) (Beta Interactive Services, 1996). In 1998, this number grew to 2.6% of the population.

        wikipedia.org

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission sets a low threshold for broadband. It defines broadband as:

A) Any service beyond the scope of existing PSTN/ISDN and 2G cellular networks. B) With data rates that exceed the normal voice-related speed (56 kbit/s for PSTN and 64 kbit/s for ISDN).

        wikipedia.org

This definition is far below the primary rate interface lower limit defined by the International Telecommunications Union in ITU-R F.1399.

INFOGRAPHIC: Internet User Profile of Malaysia

The internet was made available to the world in the late 80s through dial up connections which was able to reach maximum speed of 56Kbps

Accessing the internet in this day and age is very easy; also the internet is accessible through different platforms like the mobile television and tablet. A broadband connection now is easily able to reach a minimum speed of about 700 kilobits per second quite easily.

        elist10.com

There are different ways to connect to the internet, fiber optic cables are a popular choice and are now the fastest way access the internet. The electrical signals are converted to light and are transported through optical cables.

        techbiggy.com

Ordinary cables are still used in the back of the modern day modems; these use coaxial lines to connect to the internet. Wireless connections are used in short distances, typically a router helps send wireless signals that are caught and made use of by those nearby. And in remote areas, satellites are made use of to access the internet.

        malaysiandigest.com

While globalised technical sectors have made quick and effective advancements in improving slow internet at the fastest rate in the 21st century after its invention, there are countries where Internet speed still equals to that of snail's

Regarded as one of the most basic need today, millions of people wander over the World Wide Web to find information regarding several areas of general interest, work and business, live-stream for cricket, football and different other sports.

        pingdom.com

We as internet users have always craved for the speed while browsing through several pages in different websites.

        factofun.com

Image via wordpress.com

With some hyper advanced countries like South Korea, Japan, America, who enjoy internet speeds more than 10 Mbps, most of the slow internet using countries have reported to serve connection speeds that are below 256 kbps.

        factofun.com

It should come as no surprise that the world’s fastest Internet connection speeds can be found in Asia, with Hong Kong offering an impressive 54.1 Mbps, the fastest in the world

At that speed, you could download the HD movie "Battleship," which is set in Hong Kong, in about four minutes.

        bloomberg.com

While Asia is home to some of the most technologically advanced countries and some of the fastest average broadband speed tests, Malaysia, however, lags behind a bit and ranks 112 in the world for fastest average broadband tests with an average broadband speed test of 4.56 Mbps.

        leapingpost.com

Image via leapingpost.com

Even though Malaysia ranks around 112 with a speed of 4.56 Mbps, it has improved since 2012. Also, Malaysia does rank higher than several other Asian countries like India, Indonesia, and Cambodia.

        leapingpost.com

FACT: Malaysia has been listed among the slowest countries in the world for loading Web pages on desktop computers as well as mobile computers, according to a 2012 report by Google

Malaysia, with an average Web page loading speed on desktops of 14.3 seconds, was named the world’s fifth slowest, even more plodding than the connection speeds of nations like Colombia, Argentina and Peru.

Sekumpulan penyelidik dari China mendakwa pengambilan telur sama ada secara direbus atau digoreng mampu mengancam kesihatan malah jika makan berlebihan boleh meningkatkan risiko kematian

Menerusi sumber, hasil kajian para penyelidik itu mendapati mengambil separuh biji telur mampu meningkatkan risiko kematian sebanyak tujuh peratus.Pengambilan sebiji telur sehari mempunyai 14 peratus risiko kematian lebih tinggi berbanding individu yang mengelak makanan itu.Malah, penyelidik China yang mengetuai kajian itu juga percaya tahap lemak dan kolesterol yang tinggi dalam telur menjadi antara puncanya.Mereka memberi amaran bahawa orang ramai harus makan bahagian putih telur atau beralih kepada pengganti makanan lebih sihat yang mampu menurunkan risiko kematian.

Doctor Warns Of Fake Dentists After Pulling Out Patient's 'Awful' RM500 Dentures

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Editor's note: This story contains images that may be graphic to some. Viewer discretion is advised.

A dentist has taken to social media to warn the public about fake and unlicensed practitioners, especially after discovering a recent patient's very badly-made dentures

Dr Arif, who works in a government clinic in Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru, shared on Twitter that the 52-year-old patient came to see him one day due to pain."The patient said his teeth felt very loose and it hurt whenever he ate," he wrote.

Having a look at the patient's mouth, the dentist said he immediately saw something was wrong and wondered where the patient got his dentures fixed

"Encik, where did you get your false teeth done?" he asked the patient.The man replied, "Oh, at a private clinic in Kuala Lumpur.""What's the name of the clinic?" he asked again, to which the patient said he did not know.Sensing that the patient was not telling the truth, Dr Arif asked frankly if he went to a dentist that was operating from a hotel, house, or rented room."Oh yaaa, it was at a hotel!" was the reply.

Dr Arif told SAYS that the dentures were "so awful" that, combined with the patient's own poor oral hygiene, the rest of his teeth had to be extracted

"Yes, the dentures were really bad, because it did not restore the normal bite for the patient. His oral hygiene was also dreadful, leading to other problems such as gum issues and his teeth loosening," he said."The dentures were definitely done by a fake dentist," he also wrote on Twitter."I was shocked to see the condition of this patient's teeth. I thought there were only fake braces and veneers, but turns out, there are also fake dentures!"He then slowly found out that the patient had the dentures fixed about two years ago because he wanted to get married.The patient said he was embarrassed about missing some teeth, so when he saw a dentist doing dentures for RM500 at a hotel, which he thought was a cheap offer, he immediately went for it.

The certified dentist said it was a pity that the patient sought out a fraud to fix his teeth, which resulted in the poor dental condition that he is currently facing

"Because he tried to take a shortcut, this man had to have all his teeth extracted, top and bottom. They cannot be saved because the dentures that he wore had no quality at all. They did nothing to restore his function or bite. Worse yet, there were metal wires everywhere," he explained.He added that getting full dentures done – both top and bottom jaw – in a government clinic only costs about RM100. Meanwhile, partial dentures cost much less.Dr Arif advised others to learn these three lessons from his post:– Take care of your teeth from young. It's better to prevent than cure.– Go for regular dental check-ups. See a certified dentist at least twice a year, so that if there are any issues with your teeth, treatment can be done early.– Do not fall for fake dentists advertising low-cost treatment or those who provide services in places other than a certified dental clinic.

8 Stages A Bill Goes Through Before Being Passed As Law In Malaysia

1. Recommendation

A draft legislation is proposed by a certain minister or ministry.For example, Malay Mail Online (MMO) reported Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak as saying that a law was needed to curb fake news in the country, before a committee was set up to draft it.

Image via GIPHY

2. Formulation

Contents of the draft legislation is usually formulated by the Attorney General Chambers of Malaysia, before being introduced as a bill into the Parliament.In the case of the anti-fake news bill, MMO reported that a special committee was formed on 30 January to draft laws on preventing fake news.

Image via GIPHY

3. First reading in Dewan Rakyat

The First Reading is perceived to be just a formality, where a minister in the Dewan Rakyat reads out only the title of the bill.MPs are not allowed to debate and discuss about the bill yet.

Last month, Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani tabled the Supplementary Supply Bill 2018 for its first reading in the Dewan Rakyat.

4. Second reading in Dewan Rakyat

The second reading is regarded as one of the most crucial stages in this process, where the Bill goes through a parliamentary debate on its principles and contents in the Dewan Rakyat.

Debate over the redelineation report in the Dewan Rakyat.

5. Discussion

Contents of the Bill is discussed thoroughly at the committee stage in the Dewan Rakyat. According to LawTeacher, MPs group themselves into several committees to deliberate the bill, but they are not allowed to discuss what had been debated in the second reading. For instance, after the anti-fake news bill was passed at second reading, Malaysiakini reported that amendments to the bill were passed at the committee stage.

6. Third reading in Dewan Rakyat

Members of the Dewan Rakyat will be notified in this stage that the bill has gone through the first three stages. If there is no objection, the bill is ready to be passed to Dewan Negara.

7. Debate in Dewan Negara

Debate in the Dewan Negara goes through a similar process as it did in the Dewan Rakyat.Nonetheless, the Dewan Negara can only delay a bill's passage by a maximum of a year before it is sent to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.The Star reported that Dewan Negara has only amended less than five Dewan Rakyat bills since 1959.

Image via theSundaily

8. Submission to Yang di-Pertuan Agong to be gazetted

Once the Bill is passed in the Dewan Negara, it will be submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to obtain his consent. However, Article 66(4A) of the Federal Constitution states that a bill will become law after 30 days, even if the Agong does not assent to it.For example, the National Security Council Bill was the first bill in Malaysia to be passed without the Agong's consent.

Here are some laws that were recently passed in the Dewan Rakyat:

A 29-year-old inspector was found dead at about 9am at the Pasir Puteh district police headquarters in Kelantan. The victim has been identified as Ahmad Al-Syamir Sharif Folidin. According to Kelantan acting police chief, SAC Din Ahmad, the deceased was discovered by his colleague who was searching for him after he failed to show up for a morning meeting. "The policeman went to the victim's room and saw a body on a chair with blood under the chair before reporting the incident to a police officer," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

According to media reports, the victim was shot using a Walther P99 pistol

He was pronounced dead by a medical officer at Tengku Anis Hospital (HTA) in Pasir Puteh at 9.40am. Ahmad, who hails from Selangor, served in the commercial crime department at police headquarters Pasir Puteh since 8 May 2016. Din said that Ahmad was on duty from 8pm until 8am yesterday, and he was responsible for patrolling around Pasir Puteh. Din also revealed that a neighbour had heard the sound of a gunshot earlier that morning. "Between 4am to 5am, the victim's neighbour (who is also a colleague) thought he heard a gunshot but did not suspect anything," he reportedly said.

It was learned that Ahmad had previously expressed to his family his intention to stop working due to job-related stress

Ahmad's mother, Noraida Jalalludin, told Harian Metro that her eldest son had spoken to her about the matter prior to his death.According to her, the last time she met Ahmad was on 27 May when he came home to attend a two-week course in the capital city. She noticed that he looked depressed throughout that period of time. "When I asked him, he told me that he was under stress with his job and wanted to stop working but my husband and I advised him to mull over it before making his final decision," she was quoted as saying by Harian Metro.Noraida last spoke to her son over the phone at about 7pm on 31 May, where he once again raised up the matter that he wanted to stop working, causing Noraida to be extremely worried and concerned. She had tried to contact him later at about 11pm and 4am but failed, only to be informed about her son's death by the police the next morning.  Both Noraida and her husband said that he was a good son, and urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation into his death.

The case has been classified as sudden death

Din told reporters that the forensic unit is still investigating the case to identify the cause of death.The police are also conducting further investigations to determine the motive, including whether the victim was under any stress or not. It was reported that the victim's body was sent to HTA for post-mortem.


Can Prisoners Walk Out Of Jail Unnoticed? This Convict Proved It's Easier Than You Think

In a sequence straight out of a spy movie, Manjunath, a convict serving life term for murder, escaped from the central prison of Bangalore, India, by just walking out of the front door of the prison.
According to a report on the Times of India, prison officials, who're in a sense of shock, had no idea about his escape till they conducted the daily headcount of inmates a couple of hours later.

Image via TEHELKA

According to a report on TEHELKA, India's foremost magazine for investigative journalism, it's a common practice with many prisoners who are serving long sentences to visit the surrounding area for a few rupees. While only a few convicts have been given the liberty, some others 'manage' their way out. It was under this 'managing' of Rs 300 (17 Malaysian Ringgit) that Manjunath walked out of the gate, but only to escape. It was when he wasn't present at the evening roll-call that it came to light that the prisoner had escaped rather walked out of the jail. An internal enquiry has been ordered.

Here's how he did it, as told by prison authorities:

On Friday round 5pm when all the prisoners were let out their barracks to courtyard, Manjunath walked up to the administrative block of the jail. He told the guard there, he wanted to apply for parole.He went into the administrative block and came out after a while. But instead of going back to the prison, he went to second gate of the jail (part of the inner fortified wall), his first step to freedom. During this time inside the administrative block, he had managed to get a stamp on his hand. The prison officials, however, are unable to explain as to how he managed to get a stamp on his hand, which is used by the Bengaluru central jail authorities to identify visitors from prisoners and change his clothes.At the second gate, when the guard stopped him he simply showed the stamp and moved ahead. With second gate crossed, he only had the main gate (part of the main periphery wall) between him and his freedom.At the main gate, however, the guard pulled up after recognising him to be a prisoner. At this time Manjunath told the guard that he was already on the parole and had come to the jail to get an extension of his parole. He even shared "joy" of getting his parole with guard, before he was let out of the front gate.

The DIG Prisons, in his defence, says:
"It is not a security lapse, but a minor miscommunication between the officers that helped Manjunath walk out from the prison walls. Our prison staff was confused, as there was a seal on his hand. We will have to find out where he got it from once we nab him."

Kamal Pant, additional director general of police (prisons), confirmed that an inquiry has been ordered into how the lifer managed to get a seal on his hand, which was meant exclusively for visitors. “Also we have filed a case with a local police station,” he said.

"You Walked Into My Arms" - Video Shows Man Mocking & Punching Security Guard At A Carpark

A slightly over a two-minute long video uploaded on the Facebook page of All Singapore Stuff on Friday, 5 April, shows a burly man mocking and punching a security guard at Roxy Square's carpark

According to a report in the Straits Times, which quoted the victim identified as 60-year-old Andrew Lim, the incident started after the man approached a security guard complaining that he was trying to leave the building but was unable to find an exit.The security guard claims that he tried to explain that the main exit of the building has been locked as it was late. However, the man refused to listen.When the guard tried to inform the man that there were other exits, he ignored him and began behaving in a "threatening manner", reported the Straits Times.In the video, while the guard asks the man, "Can we talk nicely?", to which the man replies with a cuss word, saying: "F**k off." Still, the guard offers to show the man the exit, but he intentionally spreads out his arm to block the guard's path."You walked into my arm!" the man says, with a mocking laugh.

As the security guard tries to assist the man, who was also recording, to direct him out of the carpark, he keeps dismissing him by laughing repeatedly and ccalling the guard "an idiot"

The man is then seen walking towards another part of the carpark with the guard. However, at the corner, the man sticks out his leg, tripping the guard.He then punches the 60-year-old guard, causing his spectacles to fly off his face.After physically assaulting the guard, the man tries to hit his colleague, who was filming the incident on his phone. He then fled as the other guard called the police.

Posted by All Singapore Stuff on Thursday, 4 April 2019

Meanwhile, general manager K Bhaskaran of the Regal Security and Fire Management Services, for which the victim works, has said that the guard is "one of my good employees" so he stands by him

Such a huge-sized guy tackling a 60-year-old man half the size of him, that is why I'm taking this very personal(ly)," he said, as reported by CNA.

After the video of the incident went viral, the man, who assaulted the guard, returned to the mall to surrender himself on Friday

A Joint Statement By 26 Ice Manufacturers Say The Increase Is Unavoidable Due To Rise In Production And Distribution Cost

In an advertisement placed in English newspapers by 26 ice manufacturers in the Klang Valley, they said the increase was unavoidable because of a rise in production and distribution cost.

        malaysiandigest.com

"The latest revision of electricity tariff (to be increased by 17 per cent) starting next year, and the increase of diesel price by 11.1 per cent since Sept 2 has aggravated matters. The implementation of minimum wage on Jan 1 this year has increased the cost of salaries by 18 per cent.

        nst.com.my

This, said the manufacturers, were because of the increase in electricity tariff and fuel price, and the implementation of minimum wage this year. "The cost of plastic bags, tires, and spare parts have also increased over the years.
"We have no choice, but to adjust prices to ensure our efforts to provide hygienic ice are not affected."

8 Qualities We Totally Need To Learn From The Japanese Right Now

When you think of Japan, the first thing that comes to mind is probably sushi or one of those wacky gameshows right?

Image via Giphy

But behind these stereotypes and their minimalist lifestyle hides a culture of excellence that is an integral part of everything they do, including how they brew their beer. Kirin Ichiban maintains this same devotion to quality since its establishment. Keep reading to find out just how awesome the Japanese truly are and why we need to learn their ways:

1. Their dedication to excellence and precision #madprops

Image via Worldwide-Soba

To become a chef in Japan means undergoing a long and rigorous training process. Apprentice chefs spend years simply observing their masters and paying close attention to their movements in an effort to learn the proper motions required. It may take YEARS before they're deemed worthy enough to start helping out with simple prep-work before eventually moving on to learning recipes and trying their hand at working with the ingredients. Any true Japanese chef will tell you the learning process is never over, not even for masters with decades of experience under their belt.

2. Their creativity at coming up with unique and innovative ideas

They definitely know how to make life convenient with the multitude of vending and service machines that line their streets. Trust us, there's a machine for anything and everything you could possibly need.

A flower bouquet vending machine to bail us out of facing the wrath of our loved ones when we forget a special occasion? Yes please!

You'll never end up soaking wet after getting caught in a sudden downpour again with this umbrella vending machine on standby.

A vending machine that dispenses freshly BBQ'ed and slow-cooked meats on hot buns?! Okay we totally want to try this RIGHT NOW! Rumor has it that you'll be able to smell the delicious scent of the meat cooking even from a distance, how to resist lah?

3. They are 100% on point with new technology. If you can think of it, the Japanese have probably already invented it.

Just take a look at these videos if you don't believe us:

Who needs fireworks when you have something as mesmerizing as a live drone entertainment show?

4. Their world renowned workplace practices of kaizen and the 5S methodology

Kaizen (Japanese for continuous improvement) is when employees of all levels in an organization do activities together in an effort to improve workplace productivity and solve issues. This could be anything from a simple daily meeting to a full-on workshop.And if that wasn't enough there's also the 5S methodology which is a workplace organization method revolving around these 5 Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. They can be roughly translated to "sort", "set in order", "shine", "standardize", and "sustain" if you want to stick to words staring with 'S'. Basically, this is done to increase efficiency by avoiding a messy workspace. BRB, gonna go clean our tables now.

  A photo posted by SAYS (@saysdotcom) on Apr 5, 2016 at 2:13am PDT

Psst, we totally practice what we preach okay? Here's our team at one of our kaizen meetings. The secret to our success. ;)

5. Their incredible levels of cultural and national pride

It's no secret that the Japanese are intensely proud of their culture; there's nothing they love better than celebrating everything that makes them who they are. Their festivals, celebrations, and the way they support their nation are often the subject of deep admiration and respect from all around the world. And they definitely deserve it, just look at them!

6. Their sense of perfectionism when it comes to punctuality and cleanliness

Definitely two qualities that we need to spread into our society ASAP!

Trains and other public transportation in Japan are punctual right down to the second. On the extremely rare occasions that there are delays, the train conductors personally apologize to the passengers. The train station will also issue 'delay certificates' that passengers use as proof of their lateness.

Yep, pretty much. Ugh!

7. Their kindness and compassion, particularly when helping others

Here's a testimony from Shindhee, one of our team members about just how kind Japanese people can be:

  A photo posted by ShinD (@shindgypsy) on Apr 16, 2016 at 2:47am PDT

"I ended up getting lost while on a solo holiday in Japan recently. I don't speak or read Japanese at all and of all times to not have my pocket Wi-Fi on me, it just had to be at that moment when I needed it most. I happened to bump into a group of Japanese men who had clearly just finished work and they recognized the name of the place I was trying to get though. Though we couldn't communicate because of the language barrier, they gestured for me to follow them and walked with me for about 10-15 minutes to personally lead me to my destination. They were nothing but nice and helpful to a total stranger." :) #onlyinJapan

8. Their success at striking a perfect balance between their past and future

Image via Japan Kawaii 101

Japan either conjures up one of two images in people's minds: that of a country steeped in rich cultural traditions or that of a modern technologically advanced nation. They have somehow managed to find an exact formula for success. By remaining well-grounded in their cultural roots while continuously making progress towards the future.

No matter what aspect of their lives we're talking about, an instinct of striving towards perfection is at the heart of the Japanese

Image via Kirin Ichiban Malaysia (Facebook)

It's this same dedication to excellence that Kirin Ichiban shows.The premium quality and pure taste of the beer is achieved through passion for delivering nothing but the best.

Image via Kirin Ichiban Malaysia (Facebook)

With their innovative first press brewing method and by using only the finest ingredients, Kirin Ichiban continues to demonstrate their commitment to producing top-quality beer. It's no wonder that they're Japan's No.1 100% Malt, First Press Beer.

[VIDEO] "Only Gay Men Play Musical Instruments"

WATCH: Only gay men play musical instruments, says this Imam

      Unsupported video platform

The description in the the YouTube video says:

The only two times music and singing can be done under Islam is during weddings and the Islamic holiday and celebration of Eid. Then only young girls can do it and they can only play the daff an Arabic hand drum.

        youtube.com

Men or males are not allowed to sing or play musical instruments or do music. Young imam, a Moslem preacher, says only homosexual guys play musical instruments like the daff.

        youtube.com

The Imam's name is Abu Mussab Wajdi Akkari

Image via imanmedia.org

The question of permissibility of music in Islamic jurisprudence is historically disputed

Some jurists of the classical era of Muslim scholarship opined that music is forbidden both by the Qur'an and by the Hadith. The chapters of Luqman and Al-Isra in the Quran in particular are used to support this view.

        wikipedia.org

Those who do not allow music also believe that Muhammad censured the use of musical instruments when he said: "There will be among my Ummah people who will regard as permissible adultery, silk, alcohol and musical instruments".

        irfi.org

Kafi, Abida Parveen

Others, however, permit music stating that the prohibition of music and instruments at the time of the Prophet related to usage—at the time the polytheists used music and musical instruments as part of their worships.

Many modern Muslim interpretations allow music Daff Only and singing under certain conditions, mainly if they do not encourage committing sinful acts.

DAP's Yeoh Calls For UMNO's Azalina To Be Given KDN Post In A Rare Show Of Bipartisanship

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

Former Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, who is from UMNO, should be made the Home Affairs Minister, according to Segambut member of Parliament (MP) Hannah Yeoh

Yeoh, who is from DAP and is in the opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, vouched for the Pengerang MP, who recently resigned from the deputy speaker's post, citing lack of impartiality and fairness.In an interview with Astro Awani last night, 24 August, Yeoh — who was the former deputy minister of women, family, and community development in the PH administration — said that Azalina is not only best suited for the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) but that she can even lead three different key ministries.To support her call for Azalina to be given three different portfolios, the Segambut MP pointed out that Bakri MP Yeo Bee Yin, in fact, handled three portfolios that were combined into one ministry.In the PH administration, Yeo had helmed the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment, and Climate Change (MESTECC). Following the collapse of the PH administration, MESTECC was restructured with one of the portfolios named Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI)."I am very hopeful after I saw the resignation of Azalina and I'll tell you why. During our time in Putrajaya, we all knew that Yeo Bee Yin took on the role of three men. I feel that right now since Azalina is no longer a deputy speaker, she can be a frontrunner in being picked for important ministries," she said.

Yeoh shared that MOHA should be held by a woman

"The Ministry of Home Affairs should be held by a woman. A lot of times, we have seen this ministry as a prized possession given to powerful, senior men in any political party," she said during the interview."But there are a lot of issues concerning citizenship, marriages, and divorces and all of these are parked under the National Registration Department. Stateless children too; these are core issues that must be tackled. Unfortunately, we haven't seen any Home Affairs Minister dealing with these issues. So I feel it would be good for the Prime Minister to pick Azalina as the new Home Affairs Minister."She went on to bat for Azalina to be given additional portfolios in the yet to be announced new Cabinet under newly-minted Prime Minister (PM) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob."And if they can't (make her the Home Affairs Minister), then she has to be the Law Minister or a Women Minister. Preferably, if she can do all three,  that would be wonderful," Yeoh added.It is understood that Yeoh was referring to the Ministry of Women, Family, and Community Development (KPWKM) when she called for Azalina to be made the Women Minister. It was last held by Rina Harun.Stressing that Azalina is capable and is very sincere and consultative, the DAP politician highlighted how the UMNO MP has proven herself as a deputy speaker by engaging the opposition."She looked into bipartisan prison reforms, she was chair of the select committee for women and children and has previously legislated on Sexual Offences Against Children Act," Yeoh shared.

Acknowledging the proposal, Azalina thanked Yeoh for the honour

"Whatever happens, we'll continue to work together on common issues of concern," she added.

TQ YB. This is indeed an honor coming from you  Whatever happens, we’ll continue to work together on common issues of concern. Insyallah https://t.co/RzCbZRmW4X— Azalina Othman Said (@AzalinaOthmanS) August 24, 2021

Malaysians Spend 14 Hours A Day Indoors. Here's How To Make Sure Your Air At Home Is Clean

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Panasonic.

Did you know that we spend 60% of our time indoors?

Image via Mimi Thian / Unsplash

According to the deputy president of the Malaysian Clean Air Society, Professor Juliana Jalaludin, the average adult spends an average of 14 hours a day indoors, as reported by the New Straits Times. On the other hand, children spend up to 90% of their time indoors, while infants are usually 100% within the confines of home. What's more, a report by mana medical associates showed that indoor air contains two to five times more pollutants and germs than the fresh air outdoors! This means that the air inside our homes can even be more harmful than the air outside. :ONevertheless, the good thing is that we have a better chance at controlling the air within our homes. So, we can start practicing healthier oxygen habits from there.

Thankfully, Panasonic has released four new everyday appliances imbued with nanoe X technology that can keep your air clean, refreshing, and cool. Here's how it works:

Developed exclusively by Panasonic, nanoe X is a technology that generates nano-sized atomised water particles.It works by collecting invisible moisture in the air and applying high voltage to produce "hydroxyl radicals contained in water". These hydroxyl radicals happen to be elements that inhibit pollutants, breaks them down, and neutralises their effects, to improve the air quality of indoor environments.

First, let's look at the Panasonic nanoe X Air Purifiers' two variants, VXK70AWM and F-PXV50AKM

Image via cost2u (Shopee)

Both of Panasonic's nanoe X Air Purifiers are equipped with similar functions, but slightly different features. For example, the active purification feature penetrates deep into fabrics and fibres, inhibiting viruses, bacteria, and moulds in clothes, furniture, and other items.So, let's say you walk into your house after going out, you wouldn't need to worry too much about outside germs because the purifier would have imbued the nanoe X particles into your clothes, neutralising any possible contaminants.

Together with the nanoe X technology is the HEPA Composite Filter, which, according to a Panasonic report, restricts viruses, bacteria, and 17 other kinds of allergens with up to 99% effectiveness

It also applies the efficient capture method which Panasonic claims can remove up to 99.97% of PM0.003 particles (particulate matter particles) that are contaminants or pollutants. For those who don't know, PM particles are small bits of solids or liquids that circle through the air. Other 'smart' features of the purifiers include the human motion and humidity sensor which detects people and humidity levels in a room.

One feature specific to the VXK70AWM model is its distinct Econavi technology

The Econavi feature monitors daily activities through its built-in odour and house dust sensors and memorises the timeline of pollution levels in a room. What this means is that as pollution levels change in a room based on different activities, the purifier will automatically customise its operation mode to fit the user's recommended needs.

Aside from air purifiers, Panasonic also launched the nanoe X Ceiling Fan to help you cool down your home

Image via Panasonic (Provided to SAYS)

None of us like being in stuffy and stale environments, right? Fortunately, with the nanoe X Ceiling Fan, you won't need to worry about that anymore.Available in two variants, F-M15MEVBKRH (long pipe) and F-M15MEVBKQH (short pipe), the nanoe™ X Ceiling Fans are not only designed for improving air circulation, it also comes with numerous perks. For starters, the nanoe X technology in the ceiling fans are maintenance-free and do not require a replacement after extensive use.Furthermore, they are cost-efficient and eco-friendly. Packed with DC Motor technology, the ceiling fan saves up to 55% worth of energy when compared to an AC motor. They are also compact, light, and quiet when used.

Having a fan that constantly blows into your face can get frustrating, but Panasonic's nanoe X Ceiling Fan offers a solution to this too!

Coming together with a natural breeze function, the nanoe X Ceiling Fan generates a gentle breeze by automatically controlling the wind force for optimal comfort during the day and night. This natural breeze is akin to that feeling you get when you're chilling by the beach. It is also complemented with the Econavi technology that saves, senses, and self-adjusts for the most optimal air flow.

Looking to equip your home with cleaner, cooler air? These Panasonic products are now retailing at these prices:

Panasonic nanoe X Air Purifier- F-PXV50AKM (RM1,699)- VXK70AWM (RM2,599)Panasonic nanoe X Ceiling Fan- F-M15MEVBKRH (Long pipe, RM1,129)- F-M15MEVBKQH (Short pipe, RM1,129)

You can find these products at all Panasonic dealers as well as authorised platforms and marketplaces. Find out more about them through their official website!

Restaurant In Subang Almost Fined RM25,000 Because An Employee Was Eating In Store

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

myBurgerLab recently took to Facebook to recount a close call with the authorities where they were accused of violating standard operating procedures (SOPs) under the Movement Control Order (MCO)

The co-founder of myBurgerLab, Renyi Chin, told SAYS that on Sunday, 16 May, several police officers passed by their outlet in Bandar Sunway around 5.15pm and saw an employee eating inside the store."They took a photo of him, and asked him to come outside. They then said that it was an MCO violation because he was dining in, and told us to meet at the police station nearby as they were going to issue a RM25,000 fine," he said.

Image via myBurgerLab (Facebook)

The restaurant management told SAYS that the store had set up a barricade in order to block off any customers from entering the outlet.
The staff member involved was merely having a meal before his shift.

Chin also said that the staff is a part-time worker and is currently a university student. While he was eating, he was not wearing a uniform as he had not clocked in for his shift yet."It was also clear that he wasn't a customer, he was eating a packed meal he purchased from another place nearby," Chin added.

Image via myBurgerLab (Facebook)

The management then went to the police station, along with the employee, to rectify the situation.
They were then released with a warning and were not issued a fine.

At the police station, they were able to prove the staff's employment and were let off without a compound.However, when asked about where staff members can eat in order to abide by regulations, the authorities said, "Be smart. Hide."In the Facebook post by myBurgerLab, they noted, "Are staff suppose to hide in the corner to eat? Must all employees have a uniform to be considered a staff? What are the rules? Half baked SOPs and MCOs are dished out as you please, we have no choice but to just abide and follow.""We are posting this because you need to know. All fellow business owners and stakeholders must know. Just in case you [experience it] too."

10 Reasons To Ditch The Camera When You Travel Because This Smartphone Can Do EVERYTHING

For all you travel aficionados out there, one of the biggest problems that you face is this: Packing

Image via buzzfed.com

You don't want to bring too many things but at the same time you want to bring more "just in case"

Should I bring that extra pair of shorts? What about a bottle of soap and shampoo? Or should I bring my DSLR? What if I don't bring it and the photos turn out dull?

For those who love taking photos, we think that you can take one thing off your packing list with a device that fits right in your pocket...

Here's 10 reasons why we think the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ should be your main shooter when you travel...

1. You don't need to use a selfie stick to get a group shot when the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ is able to capture wide angles with ease

Image via giphy.com

Fear not, selfie lovers, Samsung has you covered with the front-facing camera, which now has a 5-megapixel camera.

        digitaltrends.com

With the 120˚ Wide Selfie Angle, you can now fit more people and the travel sceneries behind or around you in your photos easily.

2. Create a video collage where four consecutive videos can be played at the same time!

×

Forget the GoPro and portable cameras when you have one even better in your pocket. Latest smartphones now come with the standard 1080p resolution but the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ allows you to record in 2160p resolution! Overkill, but who's complaining? ;)This is a cool camera feature that’s exclusive to the S6 edge+, in which four videos are displayed in a collage, all playing at the same time. The effect is surprisingly fun. To use it, go to "Mode" when in the camera app, and select "Video Collage". You get the choice to record consecutive videos, slow motion videos, or a collage to combine later. There’s the chance to edit the audio, slow motion sections, and add end tags afterward. Once you’re done, it’s ready to be shared.

3. Show off all your travel adventures in real time thanks to the Live Broadcast feature

Image via giphy.com

Equipped with your Galaxy S6 edge+, there’s no need to turn to Periscope or Meerkat to live broadcast your antics to the world. Samsung struck a deal with YouTube, and built live streaming into the phone. You’ll need a Google account, and there’s the chance to only let people that are in your contacts list view your live stream, making it a more personal experience.To get started, find the Mode setting in the camera app, and select Live Broadcast. Choose either a private or a public broadcast, and start recording.

        digitaltrends.com

So whatever happens or wherever you are in your travel, you can share your adventures and experiences with your family or friends back home in real time! The instant real-time sharing is also helpful to the seasoned or budding YouTubers out there.

4. The camera's Quick Launch makes sure you'll capture those beautiful but glimpse moments with ease!

Image via Samsung

We've all been in this situation before: Something exciting is happening and you want to take a quick picture or a video but when you do access your camera, the moment is now gone. On the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, the camera is on standby all the time. Pressing the home button twice will instantly launch the camera - in a speedy 0.7 second - thus making sure you won’t miss out on those rare, fleeting moments.

5. Your selfie angles will forever be on point now with all these new camera gesture and voice controls

Image via hunt.in

The S6 edge+ has solved one of the most common problems, which is trying to reach the shutter button with your stretched out arm taking a selfie. So now instead of using just the regular ol' camera or volume buttons, you could touch on the screen, maybe show your palm to the camera, use the heart rate sensor, or simply say cheese!

6. No more blurry photos with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) when you want to capture that perfect moment

Image via tumblr.com

Even if you've got the shakes, you can rest assured that the Galaxy S6 edge+ will help you take clear photos thanks to their OIS system.

7. Don't have to worry about grainy pictures at night with a higher aperture on the camera

Image via giphy.com

The S6 edge+ also features f/1.9 aperture in its camera. What this means is that it will help you take brighter pictures at night and the images will look just as stunning as the ones shot under bright lights. Say goodbye to noisy, grainy photos and hello to dreamy, breathtaking night shots!

8. Bring out the inner photographer with lots of different modes and settings to tweak with

No more standing awkwardly like this.
Image via wicketreport

For photography enthusiasts, you'd be pleased to know that the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ is packed with loads of granular controls that allows you to fine tune your settings to your hearts desire. There's even a professional mode that allows you to control lighting and shutter speed, all from the touch of your fingers.

9. With built-in filters, you can save your phone's memory space with one less app to download

Image via Samsung

Your selfie game is about to get stronger. With more camera options and filters for you to choose from, taking the perfect travel shot cannot be easier. This gives #nofilter a whole new meaning.

10. You can ACTUALLY create animated GIFs. How mind blowing is that?

Image via giphy.com

Who needs a collage anymore when you can make GIFs of your travels straight from your S6 edge+ phone. So much simpler and cooler. Plus, no extra app needed!

Now be a smart traveller and pack light. Go take some awesome photos too!

Are you seduced by this sexy device yet? Trust us, the S6 edge+ is one trusty travel buddy you'd want around. ;)
