These 6 Simple Habits You Do Every Day Are Actually Damaging Your Liver

1. Self-prescribing and taking meds for every little thing

Image via The Street

Most of us probably don’t bother going to the doctor unless it’s something really serious. So when faced with minor ailments like headaches, slight fevers, and body aches, we usually just grab some common medication from a pharmacy.Why it's bad: But not knowing the proper recommended dosage can be dangerous as taking too much can cause toxins to build up in your liver, especially if you’re taking these medications often.Before taking any medication, you should check the label for liver toxicity warnings or better yet consult a doctor first, especially if you're taking multiple types of medication for different conditions.

2. Staying up all night working, out having fun, or binge-watching your favourite show

It's not just being too tired to function the next day or getting dark circles that you should be worrying about when you don't get enough sleep. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation impacts your liver negatively by causing cell damage, thus increasing your risk factors for diseases like fatty liver.

        sciencedaily.com

Why it's bad: Not only can it cause oxidative stress to your liver, it also results in the liver not being able to process fat efficiently and affects the elimination process.

3. Being too cincai when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness

Do you know that 50% of Malaysians under the age of 30 are at risk of Hepatitis A because we don't have the antibodies to prevent it? But it's preventable by improving on cleanliness and making sure to practice good hygiene habits in your daily life. For example, don't wipe your wet hands on your clothes after coming out of the toilet. Doing that is not only incredibly unhygienic, but also a surefire way to get all sorts of bacteria transmitted onto yourself.

        jaypeejournals.com

Why it's bad: Bad hygiene habits could lead to several viral infections, including Hepatitis A which directly attacks the liver cells thus causing inflammation. So it's important to keep yourself and your surroundings clean and sanitised to avoid these kinds of diseases that can spread from person to person through contact with feces, food, water or contaminated objects.In the long run, bad hygiene habits can also cause liver cirrhosis, a condition that results in hardening and scarring of the liver tissue, that can eventually lead to liver failure.

4. Lighting up to take a puff or two

Why it's bad: Even though the liver doesn't actually come into direct contact with the cigarette smoke, smoking can still induce a variety of negative effects on the liver. This includes direct or indirect toxic effects, immunological effects and oncogenic effects. It also increases the production of elements that are involved in liver cell injury, and can even lead to secondary iron overload disease as well as causes a decrease in surveillance for tumor cells.

5. Having typical Malaysian (read: super unhealthy) eating habits

Image via foodpanda

What's a Malaysian's favourite thing to do? Of course la makan! But from going for yum cha sessions with friends to dropping by the mamak or your favourite fast food place late at night, our eating habits are actually pretty unhealthy.So it's probably a good idea to start eating healthier by doing these two simple things:- Staying hydrated throughout the day by specifically drinking enough water, not just coffee, tea, juice, soft drinks, or whatever else meets your fancy.- Cutting down on late-night eating or at least switching from having heavy and greasy food to some healthier midnight snack options.Why it's bad: We consist of about 65% water so it makes sense that we’d need plenty of it to keep our bodies running. When we’re dehydrated, the liver also loses hydration which in turn causes it to lose its organ reserve, affecting its ability to properly detoxify our bodies.Plus, our liver actually carries out the majority of its functions at night, so when we have meals at that hour (especially stuff that’s heavy) we’re just overtaxing our liver by giving it more work to do. If you absolutely cannot tahan the hunger and must eat, go for something that is healthy, i.e oats, grains and fruits.

6. Spending too much time just lepak-ing and being a couch potato

With our hectic schedules and busy lifestyles, it’s easy to not have the time to exercise. But for your liver’s sake, you should definitely start exercising more often.When your pores open up and you start breaking a sweat during exercise, your body is actually detoxifying itself. As one of the liver’s main function is to detoxify the body, you’re giving your liver a huge helping hand by naturally inducing and encouraging the detoxification process.Exercise can also be considered as a form of natural medicine as people who engage in an active and fit way of life usually live longer, healthier, and better lives.

It's never too early to start protecting to your liver! In addition to trying to live a healthier lifestyle, you can also help your liver out by taking supplements.

Anonymous Grab Driver Stunned To Find Period Stain On His Car Seat After RM4 Ride

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

Stories of nightmare passengers from e-hailing drivers are not an uncommon thing, but what constitutes being labelled a 'bad' passenger?

A recent confession made by an anonymous e-hailing driver was published to the public Facebook group, B40 Buat Perangai Apa Harini. In the post that was submitted by Facebook user Is Khi, the unknown person writes about how one short drive caused serious 'damage' to his car. Having drove a female passenger, the man soon smelled something quite unsettling, only to discover a wet stain on the backseat of his car.Not taking him long to discover what it was, the man soon realised that the stain was menstruation blood.

Opening his caption, the man begins his post by mentioning how he realised something was wrong after dropping off a female passenger

"I smelled something sour and fishy," he wrote. "It smelled so strong that I had to stop my car and check the backseat."After discovering the stain, the man alluded to touching the wet spot, as well as moving his face close to it to smell it. "I was shocked, and it smelled so bad that I almost threw up." He then proceeded to take a cloth and wipe the stain. After pressing down on it, blood leaked out of the polyester seat. "That's when I realised, it was period blood." The man also Googled what period blood smells like, confirming his suspicions later on.

A photo of the period stain in the driver's car, and a receipt of the drive.

Following the incident, the driver mentioned that he proceeded to call the Grab centre to report the incident. "I asked them to clean my car, and send me the receipt later on. Thankfully, I could claim [my money back]."Ending his post, the man mentions that since this occurrence, he is still not completely comfortable eating in his car when he needs to. "It was all just my luck!"

Since releasing the post, plenty of people have sounded their diverging opinions on the issue

A couple of users emphasised that menstruation is a natural occurrence for women, and they should not be judged for it.One user said that this is a very sensitive topic. "It's not as though she purposely leaked when she sat in your car. I would feel so sorry to scold her, maybe she'd be too embarrassed to admit it." Empathising with the driver, the user went on to advise the man that since he was able to claim for the damage, he should take this as a learning lesson, and move on. "Maybe next time you can put a plastic cover over your seat to prevent a similar situation from potentially happening."

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Another person criticised the anonymous confessor for sensationalising the issue. "Of course it is revolting, but don't shame someone for it. Your mother also experiences this, so does your wife, and your daughters. We all bleed the same."

Image via Facebook

One user sought to defend the man's post, saying that driving people around is how he makes a living. "His car is used as a source of income, that's why he's mad. If the passenger admitted it, explained it nicely, and sought forgiveness for the accident, I think this wouldn't have blown up to become a big issue."

Image via Facebook

Nonetheless, one woman seemed to give insight into the situation, and provided her solid take on the matter."Periods are normal. What isn't normal is leaving it there and not saying anything to the driver. As a woman, periods gross me out too. For those who are saying that she may not have noticed it, don't make excuses for her. If it gets that wet, it means she was having a heavy flow — and probably got her whole pants wet," she said.Adding on, the commenter said that had the person responsible for the stain told him that she accidentally leaked, this would have never become an issue. "Common sense is to apologise, no matter the circumstance."

Lim Guan Eng: Pakatan Harapan's GE14 Win Is As Symbolic As Reunifying Germany

Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said yesterday, 13 June, that the rise of a new Malaysia can be compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall back in 1989

Guan End and the German ambassador to Malaysia, Nikolaus Graf Lambsdorff.
Image via Malaysiakini

In a Facebook post, he wrote that using the fall of the Berlin Wall as an analogy was the best way to "explain to our German friends who do not understand why (Prime Minister Tun) Dr. Mahathir Mohamad returned as our new Prime Minister". Guan Eng met with the German ambassador to Malaysia, Nikolaus Graf Lambsdorff in the Ministry Of Finance office yesterday, 13 June.The Finance Minister added that there were also "fruitful discussions" on expanding German vocational education in Malaysia.

According to Bernama, Guan Eng added that Pakatan Harapan's win signified a new chapter in Malaysia's history

"A new Malaysia signified a new chapter in Malaysia's history when Pakatan Harapan (PH), led by Dr. Mahathir, won the 14th General Election on 9 May," he was quoted as saying by Bernama."The stunning victory recorded by PH ended over 60 years of uninterrupted rule by Barisan Nasional," he added.

The historic fall of the Berlin Wall was a critical step to the reunification of Germany in 1990

In November 1989, the Berlin Wall was breached for the first time between East and West Germany.

The fall of the Wall also led to the Soviet Union losing control of all its satellites, signifying the collapse of the communist East German regime.To this day, it remains the symbol of a successful and peaceful revolution in Europe.

In other news, Guan Eng is fine with being the most unpopular Finance Minister in the history of Malaysia:

He also stood by the government's decision to reveal Malaysia's financial situation.

Woman Being Denied Vote In KL After She Was Unknowingly Registered As Postal Voter

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

A woman in Kuala Lumpur is claiming that she is being denied to vote after she discovered that she was mistakenly registered as a postal voter in the Election Commission's (EC) database

In a series of tweets, Twitter user Aisha Adam said she was turned away by an EC officer at Sekolah Kebangsaan Setiawangsa this morning, 19 November, because her name is not in the polling centre's manual list of registered voters.She said the officer then asked her to make a plea to the EC's director about the situation, but she would not be allowed to cast a ballot today.

Image via Firdaus Latiff/Malay Mail

The 36-year-old is now staying put at the polling centre in protest of the issue until it closes

Aisha said she will then make a police report at the end of the day."I will not leave until they give me a solution," said the adamant voter, who has been at the school since 8am."For some magical reason, I was registered as a postal voter and my ballot paper was sent to Australia."

Image via @aisha_adam (Twitter)

Aisha told SAYS that she actually found out that she was registered as a postal voter online three days ahead of polling day

However, the experienced voter brushed the issue off as she had voted twice before in the 2013 and 2018 general elections using the same address and personal info, and she did not sign up for postal voting."I called the EC offices, but to no avail. Then I thought, the electoral roll has been finalised, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt... I was hoping that there was a chance it was a glitch," she said.

A screenshot of Aisha's polling details on the MySPR Semak website.
Image via @aisha_adam (Twitter)

As proof, she also showed this SAYS writer that her IC number is not linked to an online MySPR account, which is needed to register for postal voting.Aisha added that being accidentally registered as a postal voter does not excuse the EC from denying her the right to vote today."This is a big problem. This is my personal information and a data breach. Secondly, how can the EC suddenly register me as a postal voter? And thirdly, this is voter suppression," she said.

7 Malaysian Couples Share What They Really Feel About Valentine's Day

1. "We enjoyed the experience of having a fancy celebration, but we don’t want to do it in the long term"

Image via Instagram (@felicianxy)

"The first year together for Valentine’s we booked a hotel in KL, spent time together, and had a nice dinner. The second year we only had dinner. Now that it’s going to be our third year together, we find that it’s not necessary to spend a lot. We enjoyed the experience of having a fancy celebration, but we don’t want to do it in the long term. Like for now, every Valentine’s Day we will just chill at home and watch a movie together. No make-up or fancy dresses, it’s so much more comfortable like that!"- Felicia, 21

2. "I think that Valentine’s Day is overrated and everyone just wants to use it for marketing purposes"

Image via Instagram (@lynnieboo_)

"I think that Valentine’s Day is overrated and everyone just wants to use it for marketing purposes. Every day should be Valentine’s Day!!! But I think that recognising it as a special day is still good. The partner should still respect the significance of it, just no point of overdoing it you know... It’s not the event or the day that makes it special but it’s who you spend it with"- Lynn, 21

3. "We usually have takeaway sushi for dinner, or even just play basketball together!"

Image via Instagram (@fishyiaw)

"My boyfriend and I have been together for almost three years now and we define Valentine’s Day as a simple event, in which it reminds us how far we’ve come and our infinite love for each other. Every couple out there celebrates Valentine’s Day differently. Some decked out in full glamour, spending their Valentine's Day at a fancy 5-star hotel, while some receive expensive, luxurious gifts from their partner. Us? Well, we just love to watch some movies and have takeaway sushi for dinner, or even just playing basketball together! In short, we both think that Valentine’s Day does not have to be a day filled with rich, luxurious gifts, because it’s the little moments we share with each other that matter most!"- Fish, 20

4. "Valentine's Day is a celebration that makes things exciting, fun, and blessed when we spend our day together"

Image via Instagram (@alex__cheah)

"We think that Valentine's Day is special because we take this day to treat ourselves to a nice meal and take the opportunity to appreciate one another much more. Valentine's Day is a celebration that makes things exciting, fun, and blessed when we spend our day together"- Alex, 22

5. "While couples went out to big fancy restaurants, we decided to just chill at McDonald's"

Image via Instagram (@thekalopsianpoet)

"Valentine's Day was a day that neither of us had yet experienced. So what we did last year was dress up to go some place nice. But the funny thing was, while couples went out to big fancy restaurants, we decided, "You know what? Let's just chill at McDonald's" (since it happened to be raining too). I guess what we learnt was that although V-day can be a day where couples buy big gifts and spend big bucks on 5 star dinners, the most important thing is that it is a day to remind you that you have someone special in your life. No matter the place, being in their presence is what truly matters."- Callen, 20

6. "Valentine’s Day is a day to spread love not only to your significant other, but to everyone else as well"

Image via Instagram (@_c1arrrra)

"We think that celebrating Valentine’s Day can be expensive. If we have enough money, we will go cafe hopping or have a nice dinner/lunch. But if both of us are broke, we will go window shopping, cook for ourselves at home, or just sleep! We also think that Valentine’s Day is a day to spread love not only to your significant other, but to everyone else as well."- Clara, 21

7. "It's not something too grand as media views it."

Image via Instagram (@evanfjw)

"Our thoughts on Valentine's Day is basically that it's not something too grand as media views it. We surprise each other every now and then with little gifts and spontaneous trips/dates. But we feel that there's no reason to treat your partner extra special on that day, and then not the next day. Of course, we don't deny that it's a great day to go out on a date and it has that novelty. However, if you treat your partner differently just on Valentine's Day, then there's something wrong there."- Evan, 21

It's always important to remind your partner how much they mean to you, regardless if it's Valentine's Day or not.

For Safety Reasons, Your Uber Driver Needs To Take A Selfie Before Picking You Up

Uber Malaysia announced yesterday that it will require drivers to snap selfies before signing on to the platform and accepting ride requests

Image via Venture Beat

First introduced in the US back in September 2016, the security feature - called "Real-Time ID Check" - is now being implemented in Malaysia.Uber Malaysia said in a blog post that this is a step forward to ensure the safety of drivers and riders.

Uber said drivers will be randomly selected to submit a selfie for verification, failing which their accounts could be suspended momentarily

Image via Hype

"This prevents fraud and protects drivers’ accounts from being compromised. It also protects riders by building another layer of accountability into the app to ensure the right person is behind the wheel," Uber wrote.

Powered by Microsoft’s Cognitive Services, the selfie is then used to compare to the profile photo that's been saved in the driver's account

"We then use Microsoft’s Cognitive Services to instantly compare this photo to the one corresponding to the account on file.If the two photos don’t match, the account is temporarily blocked while we look into the situation," said Uber’s chief security officer Joe Sullivan as quoted by The Verge.

During the pilot of Real-Time ID Check over the past few months in the US, the majority of mismatches were due to unclear profile photos. However, more than 99 percent of drivers were ultimately verified.

"Given that verification takes only a few seconds to complete, this feature proactively and efficiently builds more security into the app," Uber said.


Was 10 Years Too Much? 5 Other Countries That Jail People For Insulting Religions

On 8 March, a 22-year-old Sarawakian was sentenced to 10 years in jail for insulting Islam and Prophet Muhammad online

The Borneo Post reported that Alister Cogia, who posted offensive materials about the religion using his Facebook account 'Ayea', pleaded guilty at the Kuching Sessions Court on 8 March. He faced five charges under Section 298A(1)(a) of the Penal Code for causing disharmony on grounds of religion, and another five under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act for improper use of network service.

The 22-year-old was slapped with a 10-year jail sentence and a RM50,000 fine for all 10 of his charges. Judge Jason Juga delivered the sentence while Alister was unrepresented in court.

Alister's sentence has since attracted criticism from many, including Lim Kit Siang and Latheefa Koya

Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang has called out Alister's 10-year jail sentence as "excessive", according to theSun."All Malaysians must uphold the Constitution and respect all religions... but there must be no excessive punishments like the 10-year jail sentence," he said.

Malaysiakini reported that prominent lawyer Latheefa Koya has urged a review of Alister's jail term, calling it "disproportionate". "Shocking and unprecedented that the court passed a sentence of 10 years jail over an offence like this," she was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini."He had pleaded guilty, which should have been taken into account. 10 years consecutively is disproportionate and must be reviewed," she added.

Nonetheless, Alister now has help from a team of lawyers to review his 10-year jail sentence

See Chee How

Malay Mail reported that Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How and his legal team are seeking to review the 22-year-old's case proceedings to ensure it was properly carried out. "It is our principle not to support or tolerate any insult or abuse towards any religion in our country. In this case, Alister's family sought our help, saying that he is suffering from behavioural difficulties and requires psychiatric advice and therapy," See said. "There is doubt whether Alister understood the gravity of the charges and the significance of his guilty plea," the Batu Lintang assemblyman added.

While backlash towards Alister's sentence was not without reason, the penalties for his offence would vary in other countries. Here are a few of them:

1. Singapore

The Straits Times reported that Singaporean blogger Amos Yee was convicted for spewing hate speech against Christians, on top of publishing an obscene image in 2015.The blogger reportedly said Jesus Christ was "power hungry and malicious", and "full of bull".He was sent to four weeks in jail for those charges.

In 2016, the then 17-year-old Amos pleaded guilty for hate speech against Muslims and Christians, reported The Straits Times."The Islamics seems to have lots of sand in their vaginas... But don't mind them, they do after all follow a sky wizard and a pedophile prophet," Amos reportedly said.He was sentenced to six weeks in prison and a SGD2,000 (approximately RM5,992) fine.

2. Pakistan

Last October, BBC reported that Asia Bibi was acquitted of her blasphemy charge by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. She was on death row for nearly eight years prior to the landmark ruling. Although Asia had always maintained that she was innocent, demonstrations against her acquittal broke out in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Multan.

Asia Bibi

Asia's charge came from an argument she had with a group of women in 2009. The women had told Asia that they could no longer touch a cup she used as her Christian faith made it 'unclean'. After the women allegedly told her to convert to Islam, Asia responded with three offensive comments about the Prophet Muhammad. Nonetheless, Daily Mail reported that Asia and her husband have not been allowed to leave the country as of yesterday, 10 March, despite her acquittal.

3. India

BBC reported that Abhijit Iyer-Mitra was sent to jail in October 2018 by an Indian court for allegedly making a derogatory remark about a Hindu temple.His 'vulgar' comment about the temple, which features erotic sculptures, sparked outrage among residents of Indian state Odisha. Abhijit had previously clarified that he was joking, and the sculptures in that temple were "exquisite".

BBC noted that despite allegations by the prosecution, there had been no agitation against Abhijit for his comment, as his offending tweet received only seven likes and one retweet.Nonetheless, Times Of India reported that Abhijit was granted pardon by the Odisha government after spending more than a month in jail. He had issued an 'unconditional' apology for unintentionally hurting the sentiments of Odisha's residents.

4. Myanmar

Philip Blackwood

ABC reported that a bar manager from New Zealand was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail by a Yangon court in 2015 for insulting Buddhism.Philip Blackwood was convicted for using an image of Buddha to promote a cheap drinks night at his bar. The offending photo reportedly showed Buddha wearing DJ headphones.

Although he admitted to posting the photo without intending to offend anyone, Judge Ye Lwin claimed that the then 32-year-old Blackwood had "intentionally plotted to insult religious belief".According to Stuff, he was eventually released from prison in 2016 as part of the presidential pardon.

5. Lebanon

In February 2018, Asia News reported that two Muslim teenagers went into a church before throwing a statue of Virgin Mary to the ground and carried out lewd acts against the statue. Under Lebanese law, those convicted of verbal insults or physical defiling of religious rites and objects face up to three years in jail. However, the teens did not end up in prison.

Virgin Mary

According to The Independent, the boys were instead sentenced to study the references to the Virgin Mary found in the Quran. Justice Joceline Matta said she wanted the teenagers to learn about Islam's respect for the mother of Christ, before adding that the law is "a school and not just a prison". They were ordered to learn verses from the Al-Omran surah in order to be released. The ruling gained praise from Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who called the sentence an "epitome of justice" which promotes coexistence between Muslims and Christians in the country.

WhatsApp Allows People To Leave Group Chats 'Silently' & It's The Best Feature Yet

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

In case you didn't know, WhatsApp released a silent feature that's perfect for people who want to avoid confrontation :P

Thanks to an update that was released in 2022, whenever you leave a WhatsApp group now, only the admin will be informed of your departure.

Image via App Store/WhatsApp

As a result, they are dropping the dreaded 'You Left' alert that pops up when people left groups previously. This means that you can leave groups without people noticing, saving you from awkward confrontation. :P

This notification won't pop up in the latest WhatsApp version.
Image via @Adverttown (Twitter)

Instead, this is the chronology of how it will look like when you exit a group now:

1. Open WhatsApp and select a group you want to exit

Dig through those archives, sure got one. :P

Image via SAYS

2. Scroll down until you see 'Exit Group'

Image via SAYS

A confirmation alert will pop up once you click 'Exit Group', and as you can see — it tells you that only group admins will be notified of your exit.

3. Once you've left, no alert notification will be sent to the group (unless you're the admin)

Image via SAYS

Pretty cool, huh?
What do you think of this silent feature?

WhatsApp is also working on an update that will let you send images on the messenger app in their original quality:

                You'll Soon Be Able To Send WhatsApp Pictures In Its Original Quality With No Compression

No need to attach as document anymore, yasss!

Former COO Reveals The Ugly Side Of Corporate Culture In Viral 'Humans Of KL' Post

This man used to be the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of a chemical company

Image via Amalina Davis

In a recent viral post by Humans of Kuala Lumpur, the unnamed man disclosed the "ugly side" of corporate culture, especially when it comes to getting rid of employees

"I am embarrassed to tell you the things I used to do in corporate. When we wish to fire people who work in corporate jobs, instead of offering a severance package, we make life very difficult for them.We humiliate them in meetings, we tell them they are not performing, we restructure the organisation and reduce their seniority, and put junior people as their bosses. Eventually even the strong cannot 'tahan' and they will leave themselves.""This is what they taught me in corporate, and this is what I did. But you don't realise it all eventually comes back to you."

Sadly, he admitted that the company is never short of people who are willing to undermine their own colleagues for their own benefit

"People get jealous of you, people backstab you and they would do anything to get rid of you. This is the ugly side of corporate culture and sadly the dark side of human nature too."One late night, as he was looking through an old photo album, it dawned on him that the past 20 years had flown by.

"I could barely recall my children growing up and that my wife has become older – it was like I just woke up from a coma and I lost my memory. I regretted this bitterly and it was this moment I decided to make right of my life."

He quit his job and has never looked back since. He now operates a modest chemical business of his own and trades at a flea market during the weekend.He confessed that he saves more money now compared to when he was working a corporate job as he used to spend a lot of money on unnecessary luxuries."I thought I could not live without Astro because I used to watch EPL (English Premiere League football) every weekend. When I cut off Astro to save money, I realised I didn't miss it that much."

"I'm grateful I'm given a second chance in life. This is my second chance... Once you declutter your life, you can focus on the things that really matter."

"I have three children – a boy and two girls. Two are in university and one just finished SPM. Once the last one goes to university too, me and my wife will move to a smaller apartment," he explained."During my corporate work, I reported to the board and I had up to ten bosses. But now I just have one boss. My wife!This is my life now, it’s a lot simpler, but I'm happier."

The post generated 30,000 shares within 24 hours alone, with netizens sharing similar sentiments and experiences:

Over 300,000 Households In Selangor Facing Water Cuts Due To Odour Pollution

Over 300,000 households in Selangor have been experiencing water cuts since yesterday, 21 December

According to Malay Mail, this was due to an odour pollution that was detected in the Semenyih river, forcing Air Selangor to fully shut down the Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant.As a result, unscheduled water supply disruptions occurred, affecting 328,957 customer accounts in 348 areas in Petaling, Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat, and Sepang.

A follow-up report by Bernama stated that the closure of the water treatment plant was due to illegal waste disposal

The report explained that the closure was not due to sewage treatment operations conducted at Indah Water Consortium Sdn Bhd (IWK), but was because of illegal waste disposal near the plant instead."From the investigation, it was found that it was not sewage odour at the inlet of the plant and due to the odour, the team had to temporarily stop the effluent discharge to enable immediate cleanup operation," IWK said in a statement, as quoted by Bernama.Further inspections carried out by IWK, Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS), and the National Water Service Commission (SPAN) revealed that there was illegal waste disposal with solvent odours at the sewers around the area.

This incident is similar to one that occurred in September when the Sungai Semenyih treatment plant had to be shut down for 10 hours

The closure was due to a similar reason: illegal dumping of waste by irresponsible quarters into the sewerage system.This also caused Air Selangor to halt operations, resulting in an unscheduled water supply disruption.Prior to the current case, there have been four major water cuts due to river pollution in Selangor, as reported by The Star.

As of today, 22 December, the Sungai Semenyih plant is still inoperative, more than 24 hours after it had to be shut down

According to Malay Mail, the plant will remain non-operational until further notice as restoration work is still ongoing.Air Selangor corporate communications chief Abdul Halem Mat Som confirmed that IWK and LUAS were actively carrying out cleaning work."Manhole cleaning work near the sewage treatment plant to suck out the contaminating effluent is ongoing. Activated carbon damping has also been implemented to reduce the impact of odour pollution in the Semenyih River," Abdul Halem said in a statement, as quoted by Malay Mail.

Meanwhile, the communications chief said that the Bukit Tampoi plant had also been affected

The plant has been shut down since yesterday evening, resulting in water cuts for an additional 366 areas and 336,930 households.

With Air Selangor expecting the recover period to take some time, emergency water supply assistance has been provided

Tankers are being deployed to supply water to critical premises first, including hospitals.Meanwhile, others facing water disruptions can get water at 11 one-stop service centres and public taps round-the-clock. The locations of these service centres are listed on Air Selangor's Facebook page."Air Selangor will take some time to rectify the problem, but efforts are taken to hasten the recovery process," Halem said, as quoted by The Star.

A Yellow Teletubby Stole Chinese Food And Dumped It Into Its Purse

One man's passion to have some General Tso's chicken was so great that he broke in to his friend's house to have some. He did all this whilst wearing a Teletubby suit.

Terez S. Owens Jr., 20, a Lehigh University student from Jacksonville, Florida, allegedly wore the children's character costume while breaking into a friend's house about 2 a.m. Sunday in the 200 block of East Fourth Street on South Side.

        lehighvalleylive.com

Terez Owens, a Lehigh University student, has been accused of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct for allegedly causing damage to a friend's Pennsylvania home while wearing a yellow Teletubby costume and stealing leftover Chinese food.

        nbcphiladelphia.com

Terez S. Owens Jr., 20, a Lehigh University student from Jacksonville, Florida, allegedly wore the children's character costume while breaking into a friend's house about 2 a.m. Sunday.

        pennlive.com

He later stuffed the food in his "man-purse" before escaping. In the process, he sustained cuts and left a trail of blood behind after damaging the rear door glass.

Police said just before 2 a.m., they were called by several students living at the home. They told police that someone had broken the glass on their rear door and entered the home. The victims told police the man took Chinese food from the refrigerator and put it into a black purse he was carrying. Police said the man had cut his hand on the broken glass and blood had dripped throughout the home.

        mcall.com

Police said he went into the victims' refrigerator and dumped Chinese food into a "man purse" before leaving. A door was damaged during the incident, police said.

        lehighvalleylive.com

The "Teletubby" had also cut himself and left blood everywhere before leaving. Owens was found a short distance away with the Chinese food in his purse.

        nbcphiladelphia.com

The victims initially refused to press charges but changed their mind when their landlord became involved in the incident

The residence, a rental unit, endured $495 worth of damage, police say. While no charges were filed initially, DiLuzio says the home's occupants apparently changed their minds after the landlord became involved. The 20-year-old suspect will receive a summons from the office of Judge Nancy Matos.

        nbcphiladelphia.com

"I guess the victims thought about it and the landlord got involved with the damage," Bethlehem police Chief Mark DiLuzio said. The residents met Wednesday with a detective, and police filed charges of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct with District Judge Nancy Matos-Gonzalez's office, DiLuzio said. They will be sent to Owens via summons.

        lehighvalleylive.com

While Owens’s friends--who also attend Lehigh--initially declined to press charges, when they realized that they would be responsible for a $495 repair bill, they had a change of heart, according to police Chief Mark DiLuzio. The collegian, a business major from Jacksonville, Florida, will receive a criminal summons by mail, added DiLuzio.

        thesmokinggun.com

Terez Owens was later found in his home in his suit stained with blood with the bag of Chinese food in his man purse. We're not making this up.

Police say that the food thief cut his hand on the broken glass and tracked blood throughout the home. Owens left the scene of the crime before police arrived, but when they went to his home, Owens answered the door in his bloody, yellow Teletubby costume holding the black purse. Poor Laa-Laa had the munchies.

Laa-Laa is the third Teletubby and is voiced by Nikky Smedley. She is sunflower yellow and has a curly antenna on her head and she has a giant orange ball. Laa-Laa is known as the best singer of all the teletubbies, a total girly-girl, "Drama queen", party-girl, and motherly type.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage (of the incident) exists, so they can check it," he added.He went on to say that because of the suspension, he was unable to take delivery jobs, and he did not know how long it would take until his account would go back to normal.However, at the time of writing, the TikTok video has been taken down.

4 Things To Know About Wearing Double Face Masks So You Do It Correctly

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

With the number of new COVID-19 cases rising and multiple variants spreading, the Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah advises Malaysians to double-mask

The health director-general said that wearing double face masks is 95% effective in preventing infections.Noor Hisham added that wearing double face masks is encouraged when in crowded public spaces or high-risk areas. However, it is just an advisory, not a requirement.According to a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study, there are several methods on how you can wear your face mask more effectively.The CDC guidelines highlighted several important points regarding double-masking, including why and how you should do it.

Here are the things you need to know about double-masking:

1. Why should you wear double face masks?

You should double-mask for two reasons — it helps improve the fit of the mask on your face and enhances filtration of droplets from the air.By putting on another mask on top of the first layer of mask, this makes sure your first mask is completely fitted on your face.The outer mask will press the inner mask closer to your face.This helps to reduce the amount of air that leaks around the edges of the mask.

2. How to double-mask?

When wearing double face masks, it is recommended to pair a surgical mask and a cloth mask.The surgical mask should be worn as the inner layer, followed by the cloth mask as the second layer.

3. What kind of masks should you use when you double-mask?

According to the study conducted by the CDC, it is recommended not to combine two surgical masks when double-masking.Surgical masks are not designed to fit tightly. Therefore, wearing a second surgical mask on top of the first layer will not improve the fit of the mask on your face.

It is not recommended to combine two cloth masks either.

4. Should you still double-mask when you wear an N95 mask?

The N95 face masks are known to be the most effective in terms of fit and filtration. It can seal the face and filter 95% of droplets and particles through the material.Hence, it's not recommended to double-mask with an N95 face mask.

The Reno3 Pro has upgraded its Super AMOLED Screen with E3 luminescent material, which brings a much higher level of brightness than E1 and E2, so that even under bright light of daytime, texts and images are clearly visible on the screen. More than brightness, the Super AMOLED Screen includes all DCI-P3 colour gamut, which is also excellent in the colour display. Meanwhile, the power consumption of E3 screen has been reduced to minimise the bad viewing experience caused by aging AMOLED screen. This makes the screen last longer, while the anti-blue light mode will substantially reduce the proportion of harmful blue light, to lessen the damage of long-time phone use to the eyes. For this, OPPO Reno3 Pro has been recognised by the TÜV Rheinland Full Care Display Certification, ensuring world-class protection for users’ eyes. This means the smartphone has passed various aspects of testing, including display quality, eye protection technology, and user health.

Semalam, kecoh di laman sosial terutamanya Facebook apabila berita mengenai pelakon cantik Nora Danish meminta LHDN memberi pelepasan bayaran cukai kepada golongan artis dan selebriti

    Issue LHDN , tak buat salah pun kena marah. Ni mesti ada yang putar belit penyampaian Nora. Takpa im on the way back home , Nora akan check siapa yang cuba sensasi kan berita ini.  #rakyatmalaysia #haruslahbayarcukai #kitasemuasama #sayabayarcukai #kesiankenamarah #takpasalpasal A photo posted by Nora Danish (@noradanish) on Nov 6, 2016 at 11:45pm PST

Kenyataan beliau itu telah dipetik melalui akhbar Utusan Online tetapi menurutnya telah diputar belit oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab.Menurut Utusan Online, kenyataan Nora yang ditulis oleh Utusan Malaysia dan disiarkan di ruangan HITS semalam berbeza sama sekali dengan tajuk laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh sebuah portal media, yang memberitahu Nora meminta supaya artis dilepas cukai untuk tampil menarik.Sebaliknya, Nora meminta pengecualian diberikan kepada artis dalam bab berkaitan imej dan penampilan diri.

Image via Utusan Online

Utusan Online memberitahu, laporan yang dipetik secara salah itu seterusnya disebarkan oleh sebuah portal hiburan dan diviralkan oleh beberapa portal lain sehingga menyebabkan kekeliruan ramai orang.

Setelah isu itu menjadi hangat, Nora Danish menerima banyak komen negatif daripada netizen. Bermacam-macam jenis pendapat dikeluarkan. Semuanya bernada marah!

Terkesan dengan kutukan netizen, Nora Danish tampil memberi keterangan di laman Instagram. Beliau menyarankan supaya orang ramai check dulu tahap pemahaman mereka tentang isu ini.

Terima kasih kak Rozy. Masih ramai tidak faham dengan maksud pelepasan dan juga pengecualian. Borang artis juga berbeza dari borang cukai yg lain. Mmg ada category penampilan. Saya maksudkan bahagian itu di naikkan peratusannya. Saya berhak bersuara bagi pihak celebrity yg lain, dan anda juga berhak bersuara sebagai rakyat Malaysia. Kenapa harus saya dipersalahkan tentang issue tax ? Kenapa saya dikatakan bodoh ? Walhal check dulu tahap pemahaman anda Tentang issue ini. Dan harap maklum saya pembayar cukai!Semua org harus bayar cukai dan tiada PENGECUALIAN jika tahap pendapatan melebihi 3k sebulan. Kalau tak faham lagi tak tawu la nak ckp apa.
