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

Up for an adventure that isn't too far from KL city?
Located less than an hour's drive away in Hulu Langat is a fun activity called Skytrex Adventure.

If you haven't heard of it yet, Skytrex is a rope circuit set high up in the trees, with obstacles and flying foxes for you to climb and glide, while surrounded by nature.There are three different Skytrex parks in Malaysia: One in Langkawi, a second in Melaka, and this one in Sungai Congkak, Hulu Langat.

If you want to try it out, here are all the things you should know before heading there:

1. Wear proper sports attire and bring gloves (optional)

You will be wearing a harness throughout the circuit, so it's best to wear appropriate clothing and sports shoes. Gloves are optional. However, I'd recommend bringing along a pair if you have one, as it will help with reducing any blisters and make climbing easier. If you don't own any, the park sells basic ones for RM10 a pair. You can bring along a backpack and your phone but make sure they're secure to your body and won't get in the way as you're climbing or gliding. Optionally, lockers are also available at the entrance for a small fee.

2. There are two types of circuits available at this branch: River Thrill (intermediate) and Rapid Extreme (advanced)

Side note: The obstacles are slightly different and there are also beginner levels available at the other parks.

Before you begin the circuit, an instructor will teach you how to wear the harness and will run through the basics. There are other helpful instructors around who will also be able to assist you.

We went for the Rapid Extreme (advanced) level because if you're going to go on an adventure, you might as well go all out, right? :P It took us slightly over two hours to complete, from the time we arrived and signed in until we reached the end of the circuit. Take note that the timing depends on the group and how many other people there are.To be honest, the only 'challenging' part was the first obstacle, which involved climbing up a really high 'ladder' to get to the top and begin the circuit. Once you've reached the top, the rest of the course was a total breeze. Literally and figuratively.

3. You will get accustomed to the carabiners attached to your harness and how they function throughout the circuit, so don't stress too much at the beginning

There will also be a trial run before you start the course and instructors to guide you if you're unsure.In the case of an emergency, a couple of 'chicken exits' are located throughout the circuit that allow you to leave halfway if you need to. Several trained assistants will also be at different points to help if there are any issues.

Our helpful colleague, Timothy, making sure we're set to go!

3. The Rapid Extreme level includes plenty of flying foxes and several obstacle courses that are not too difficult, so you'll get to enjoy the scenery and fresh air

I won't spoil it too much by giving it all away, so you'll just have to head there and experience it for yourself. Heh.But it is a pretty fun, relaxing activity to do with friends. It wasn't too taxing, yet we still managed to get a good sweat. Plus, if you book an early morning session like we did, you'll get to enjoy a well-deserved lunch right after!Here's some footage of us flying through the trees across a stream:

4. Lastly, don't forget to enjoy yourself!

A Man Caught Sneaking Into Women's Toilet Says He Has Been Eating Poop For 8 Years

Earlier this week, an unnamed man was caught sneaking into women's restroom inside a shopping center in Pengjiang district of Jiangmen City in China's Guangdong province. According to reports, the man was eating excrement found in the toilets.

Image via Shanghaiist

According to Shanghaiist, a security guard at the shopping plaza said he has been spotted visiting the toilets since early this year

"He goes to the second floor ladies' room to find [feces] to eat. He usually comes between 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. during the first half of the day, and then comes again at around 3:00 p.m.," the guard said, adding that the man walks in on women before they're able to finish flushing the toilet.

        shanghaiist.com

However, one has to wonder why the security guard never stopped him, despite being aware of his actions to the point where he knew the man's whole schedule and plane of action?
Meanwhile, the women's toilets at the mall have been locked up.

Closed: The toilet is now off limits.

Fears have been raised over the man's mental health

Commenting on the story, a doctor from a local hospital said it’s “very possible” the man has a history of mental illness.

        deathandtaxesmag.com

A local female resident told Guangdong TV that reports of the man wandering into the public restrooms have left her feeling incredibly uneasy, especially because he's been seen lurking in another female toilet nearby.The women's toilets at the mall have been locked up, and residents are now calling on the government to help seek treatment for the man.

        shanghaiist.com

A reporter from GDTV caught him in action:

Reporter: What’re you doing here?Man: Eating sh#t.R: What? What’s in your hands?M: It’s sh#t.R: Why would you want to do that?M: I eat it when I’m hungry.R: But why do you choose to go to the ladies’ room?M: It’s more tasty.Reporter: Isn’t your family worried about you?Man: They’re all dead.R: Don’t you know this behavior isn’t good or healthy?M: I’ve eaten sh*t for eight years. I feel better after eating it.

Hong Kong Can No Longer Import Black Clothes, Including Black Underwear, From China

The Chinese government is trying to ban the export of black clothing to Hong Kong from mainland China in an attempt to curb the ongoing pro-democracy protests

According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), the pro-democracy unrest in Hong Kong has gone on for more than four months.From the beginning, the protesters have adopted black T-shirts, black jeans, and black sneakers, often paired with a black face mask, as their uniform.

Image via EPA-EFE/South China Morning Post

Over the past few months, Guangdong-based courier companies issued notices that mainland Chinese customs required them to halt delivery of certain items

The first notice issued in July included items often used by protesters such as yellow helmets, yellow umbrellas, flags, flagpoles, poster banners, gloves, masks, black T-shirts, metal rods, fluorescent tubes, and bludgeon clubs.A more recent notice that was issued in September came with a longer list of banned items that included certain foodstuffs, liquid, powder, gases, big machines, wrist bands, towels, safety vests, speakers, amplifiers, trestles, walkie-talkies, drones, black shirts and other clothing, torches, binoculars, and even remote-controlled toys.

SCMP investigated the extent of the ban by contacting a courier company based in Beijing, China

A worker at the company said that only black clothing was not allowed to be shipped to Hong Kong, while other colours were allowed."All goods mailed to Hong Kong will be severely investigated. So all goods to Hong Kong will take around two days more than usual to mail," he said.

Image via AFP/The Sun

As usual, Twitter users had a lot to say about the issue

This user found that even black underwear was not exempted from the ban.

A friend's company, which makes black boxer briefs, also had its goods held up by Chinese customs. Yes, China is scrutinising black underwear. https://t.co/e1FDvMDcWw— Mary Hui (@maryhui) October 17, 2019

A user suggested that the protesters change their uniform colour to red.

While this user wondered what would happen if the Hong Kong protesters ran out of colours to change their clothing.

The months-long protest began with a now-withdrawn extradition bill that sparked anger amongst Hong Kong citizens:

Two Weeks On, Adam Rayqal's Mother Still Can't Accept Why Someone Would Harm Her Child

On 3 July, a five-month old baby boy was found dead inside his babysitter's refrigerator in her Batu Caves home

Adam Rayqal Mohd Sufi Naeif, who was placed inside a green zipper bag, and stuffed inside the freezer, died from head injuries due to blunt force trauma, Channel NewsAsia reported.

Image via Facebook

According to New Straits Times, the 33-year-old babysitter, Noor Aqilah Abd Rahman, was charged with two counts of abusing a baby boy, leading to him being injured in the head, and disposing of the body to conceal his death on 13 July.

Image via Bernama

Two weeks after her only child's death, Adam's mother revealed that she still struggles with accepting the tragedy that befell her family

Image via Bernama

Farah Madihah Othman, who is a paediatric nurse at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, told reporters that, "I look after babies in the ward, I have never harmed anyone's children.""When someone does that to Adam, I cannot accept it," the 28-year-old added.Now on leave, Farah Madihah has applied to be transferred back to Terengganu, Bernama reported.

"I had so little time with my baby," said Farah, who admitted that she initially had doubts about leaving her son with the babysitter

Image via Bernama

"At first, it was difficult to trust the babysitter, but after she told me that she had experience looking after a handicapped child, I felt I could send my baby to her," she explained."I still think of him when I am at home... I cannot imagine how he cried during the incident," the mother added.

During a visit with Wanita UMNO head Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad on Wednesday, 18 July, Farah expressed her concern on the lack of childcare facilities at places of work

Image via Halimaton Saadiah Sulaiman/Berita Harian

"It's difficult to find childcare facilities that accommodate to parents who work shifts, and the ones that do are expensive," she explained, according to Berita Harian.Noraini urged the government to take drastic action by requiring that all babysitters be registered with the relevant ministry, whether they are looking after children in their own homes or in childcare centres, Bernama reported.

Shortly after Adam's death, Farah wrote an emotional message to her son:

Farah also thanked friends, relatives, and fellow Malaysians for their help and prayers.

2 Cops Had Their Cars Stolen From The Bukit Aman HQ But That's Not The Worst Part

Two policemen recently lost their car to theft. However, the surprising thing in this case is that the perpetrator happens to be a cop!

Image via CoffeeTicks

English daily TheSun reported that the cars that belonged to senior police officers from the Traffic Investigations and Enforcement Department were allegedly stolen by their colleague recently.  The two officers, a deputy superintendent and an assistant superintendent, were away for an assignment. They came back to a shocking discovery when they realised that their cars were gone. What's even more ironic is the fact that the policemen had left their cars, a Volkswagen Vento and a Proton Saga, parked at the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman.

How did it happen?

According to TheSun's report, both policemen left their cars at the Bukit Aman's Tower I building although they parked at different floors. The deputy superintendent had apparently parked on the first floor on 26 September before he left for Terengganu while the other officer parked on the second floor. The closed-circuit television (CCTV) recordings at the carpark revealed that a policeman was seen driving away both cars on different days. The perpetrator drove away a car each on 30 September at 3am and 1 October at 10pm.It was reported that in both cases, a white Perodua MyVi driven by an unidentified individual was seen trailing behind the stolen vehicles driven by the rogue policeman.

The good news is the authorities believe that the culprit has been apprehended

Image via Antara Pos

Kuala Lumpur police chief Commissioner Datuk Amar Singh Ishar Singh said a police lance corporal, suspected to be behind the thefts, was arrested. "We are interrogating him to ascertain if he is involved with any car theft syndicates," he was quoted as saying by TheSun.Although the lance corporal, who is also attached to Bukit Aman, has confessed to being behind the thefts, the stolen cars have yet to be recovered.The case is being investigated under Section 379A of the Penal Code for vehicle theft.

Just a few weeks ago, an armed policeman robbed a cyber café in Sri Petaling:

                A Cyber Café In KL Was Robbed At Gunpoint By A Cop

He also shot his victim, who suffered a flesh wound from the bullet grazing his chest.

Youth Think Technology Is Making Us Less Human. But Older Women Disagree!

A majority of young people believes advanced technology makes their lives easier, but they are concerned it makes people less human

A global survey towards high-tech attitudes finds that while the younger generation believes technology is having a dehumanizing effect, older women, particularly those in emerging countries, are becoming its biggest champions.

        nydailynews.com

Image via ieee.org

The Intel-commissioned "Intel Innovation Barometer" survey of 12,000 adults from Brazil, China, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan and the United States finds that while millennials (i.e., those aged 18-24) haven't completely given up on technology and believe that it holds the key to one day solving a number of global issues, 61 percent believe that it is currently making people less human.

        india.com

Despite being the digital native generation, 59 percent of young adults also feel that society has become too reliant on technology.

        indiatimes.com

But the current enthusiasm that the younger generation lacks is more than made up for by that of older women

Globally, women over 45 years of age are slightly more likely than younger women to say that people don't use enough technology. They also are more likely to say that technology makes people more human, helping to deepen their relationships.

        iol.co.za

This positive attitude peaks in emerging markets. For example, in China, 70 percent of women over 45 believe we aren't using technology enough, while across China, Brazil, India and Indonesia women of all ages believe innovations will drive better education (66%), transportation (58%), work (57%) and healthcare (56%).

        nydailynews.com

Women in emerging markets would also be more willing to sacrifice some privacy in return for better tech services -- 86 percent would be willing to install software that tracks their work habits and 77 percent would be happy to use a smart toilet if it monitored health.

        theiet.org

Dr. Genevieve Bell, anthropologist and director of Interaction and Experience Research at Intel Labs, says:

"At first glance it seems millennials are rejecting technology, but I suspect the reality is more complicated and interesting."

        redorbit.com

"A different way to read this might be that millennials want technology to do more for them, and we have work to do to make it much more personal and less burdensome."

SG Man Pretends His Phone Is Broken After Woman Confronts Him Of Taking Photos Of Her

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

A TikTok user recently called out a middle-aged man for openly taking photos of her during her train ride in Singapore on Saturday, 25 February

The user @daizamazze, who goes by Daisy on TikTok, said she saw the old man blatantly taking photos of her without her permission, and so she followed him out onto the Tanah Merah MRT platform to confirm her suspicion. As she walked behind him down a flight of stairs, she saw him looking through the photos he took of her in the train and immediately confronted him.

Image via @daizamazze (TikTok)

However, when she confronted the man, he proceeded to act clueless and said his phone was having "problems"

According to the TikTok video, Daisy began filming the man as he pretended to struggle with his phone."There's no point ignoring me, I saw the photos, you can delete the photos," she said to the man."Okay, I delete, (mumbling) because my phone got problem, I (wanted) to call," replied the man as he closed and reopened several apps on his phone.The video showed that the man did take seven photos of Daisy's lower body from his gallery, to which he agreed to delete, while explaining that he was trying to call his friend but couldn't exit the camera mode. The man then swiped his gallery to show her that all her pictures were gone, and revealed a picture of another woman in workout tights that was similar to Daisy's.He then faked a phone call and began walking away when Daisy marched past him and threatened him not to do it again."I can see you're not calling anyone, you don't have to pretend. Just don't take pictures of girls, it's f*cking weird."

Image via @daizamazze (TikTok)

The TikTok garnered over one million views in less than a day, and users filled the comment section with mixed reactions

Many rushed to Daisy's side and admired her for standing up for herself."Him 'calling' someone. I'm so sorry this happened to you, I'm glad you were brave enough to stand up for yourself," praised a user.

Image via @daizamazze (TikTok)

While many were supportive of her decisions, some users did not agree with what she had done, with one saying, "This is not illegal. It's not an upskirt. You easily triggered Generation Z's need to read up on the law and get it straight."

Image via @daizamazze (TikTok)

There were many users who remained neutral, and advised her on the better ways she could have responded."Make sure (the pictures) in the bin (is) also deleted. If he just (deletes them) like that, it's not permanently deleted and he can still retrieve (them) back from (the) bin," advised a user.

Image via @daizamazze (TikTok)

In a conversation with SAYS, Daisy said she has stopped reading the comments as the ones that pop up often leave her feeling angry

According to Daisy, she has received a lot of support from users on both TikTok and Instagram, so much that she has not had the time to reply everyone just yet.She remarked that women were the most empathetic towards her and what she went through, and knew exactly what to say to support her. She acknowledged that most of the comments on TikTok came from a good place but only told her the things she could have done."It's really unhelpful, it's not like I can go back in time and change what happened."

Watch the video here:

  @daizamazze so obviously this is NOT my usual content however I wanted to share this because nasty crusty uncles / tourists / men do this WAY more than we think, this one was just stupid and made it blatantly obvious he was taking pictures of me. But even though it was obvious what he was doing, i STILL questioned what I saw. “Surely he didn’t take a picture?” “I must be seeing things.” “Would he do that?”. I followed him on the platform and he was dumb enough to CHECK the photos he took LOL. To my girls, ALWAYS trust your gut. NEVER be afraid to make noise. CALL THEM TF OUT!!!! This is ILLEGAL. Even if you don’t see proof, YOUR GUT IS TELLING YOU SOMETHING FOR A REASON. So many times have I felt this unease around a man on public transport but didn’t go up to ask out of fear. If this is your uncle, i just wanna talk. #tiktoksg #caughtoncamera   original sound - daisy - daisy

Thailand Officials Encourage Locals To Work From Home As Bangkok Chokes On Haze

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

A thick haze blanketed Bangkok, Thailand, as the city's air pollution reached unhealthy levels on Wednesday, 1 February and Thursday, 2 February.

According to The Straits Times, the Thai capital's air was deemed "very unhealthy" based on IQAir's worldwide city pollution ranking, when its air quality index (AQI) reading recorded at 156 at around 6pm on Thursday.AQI readings of above 100 are considered unhealthy, while those that cross 200 are regarded as very unhealthy.The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) forecasted that PM2.5 levels would spread across the country on Thursday and Friday, 3 February, as the fine-dust pollution accumulated in stagnant air.PM2.5 particles are extremely hazardous to human lungs and has been linked to heart and lung diseases, as well as cancer.According to Reuters, the PM2.5 levels in the capital was 14 times the level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), making it the sixth-worst city with air pollution in the world, at the time of the AQI reading.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has advised the residents of Thailand to wear face masks outdoors and avoid prolonged exposure to the hazardous air

Prayut has also urged government agencies and businesses to let staff work from home to reduce air pollution from traffic.Thailand's government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said that those with chronic health problems or respiratory symptoms should consult a doctor before doing outdoor activities, reported The Straits Times."The Prime Minister is concerned about people's health, especially those in vulnerable groups, and advises them to wear sanitary or N95 masks when leaving the house, and to avoid prolonged outdoor activities," said the spokesman yesterday.

Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt said that the unsafe levels of dust were due to stagnant air, agricultural burning, and forest fires

The locals have complained of poor visibility and trouble breathing."I feel my eyes burn. I can barely see when I have to ride my motorcycle against the wind," said Kanjanaporn Yampikul, a 51-year-old motorcycle taxi rider, to Reuters.However, the TMD forecast that conditions would improve from Saturday, 4 February, as winds pick up and start dispersing the air pollution.

Did you know Johor was the first state in Malaysia to install an early warning system to monitor our air quality:

                Malaysia's First Early Warning System For Air Pollution Has Been Installed In Pasir Gudang

The system detects air quality and hazardous airborne pollutants.

Tired Of Life? We Tried Out This Free, Cosy Mobile Game That Lets You Take A Break

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

Kinder World is an early access free mobile game focused on helping players with pandemic burnout and loneliness

Kinder World is a mobile game developed by female-founded Australian game developer studio, Lumi Interactive. With the goal of making the world a better place through comfort gaming, they recently released an alpha version of their latest cosy mobile game, Kinder World.The game's focus on mental health is backed with evidence by consulting with a wellbeing researcher, Dr Hannah C Gunderman, and psychologists to make sure that the in-game mindfulness activities work for alleviating players from burnout, tiredness, and a sense of being overwhelmed.

Once I opened the game, I was immediately greeted with an introductory cutscene of a heart falling down from the skies through lush greenery, and welcomed by heartwarming positive messages

The storyline follows Samy (the cutest dog ever) that needs our help with taking care of houseplants

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

I was given a plant card to nurture. The first plant card they gave me was a Monstera Deliciosa that I had to grow to earn stars and unlock its story. To grow it, I have to water it with either normal or enriched water. For enriched water, you're expected to carry out a kindness activity, either daily gratitude or emotional naming.

In the daily gratitude activity, there will be a daily question like "What are you grateful for today?" that the player must answer before proceeding to water the plant. You'll also be able to read heartwarming messages from other players worldwide.

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

As for the emotional naming activity, you're given a terrarium to fill with a category of emotions, and the final composition of your terrarium depends on your emotions throughout the week (or whenever you play again).With six categories of emotions and subcategories for specification, players can name their emotions before watering the plant. The game aims to help players acknowledge all emotions as something positive, including anger, sadness, and fear.

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Don't worry about your plants dying, as the game allows you to set notifications to remind you when it's time to water your cute, virtual plants. It's worth noting that, even if you leave your plants for a long time, they won't die (in the game at least).

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Once I'd earned the first achievement of growing my first ever Monstera plant, the game gifted me with a box of trinkets and decor items for me to decorate my room

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

This Samy plushie is the first ever item gifted to me in the game.
Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Then, the room decoration story unlocks and we're greeted by Quilliam, a porcupine that introduces you to your new room. You can decorate your room with the new items earned from your previous achievement.

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

As the game progresses, you'll also meet new companions.
Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Of course, just like almost every mobile game, there are in-game purchases where you can buy more room decorations

Image via Alia Kamelia/SAYS

Overall, the experience of playing this game has been nothing but heartwarming and wholesome, as I'm able to unwind and relax with this effortless gameplay.
However, there are some improvements that can be done to further make the gameplay smoother:

A major issue I had while playing the game was during the room decoration story, where after I put the Samy plushie on the windowsill, I got stuck in the storyline with no way to progress. This happened when I closed the game without fully finishing the mission. However, this issue was resolved after several emails to the developer, and since then, my in-game experience has been amazing. So, remember not to close your game without finishing the mission first!Another thing I had an issue with was the lack of information on when the other features would get unlocked, as it took me several days to unlock them. It would be nice to have a time countdown of some sort to clarify my progress and time left to unlock the rest of the game features.Disclaimer: Do note that the game is still in the alpha testing phase, so bugs are bound to happen. However, to ease the experience of future players when they play the game, these are some of my experiences.

[NEW UPDATE] Ali Rustam Investigated For Sedition Over Anti-Chinese Remarks

17 Oct: KL city police is investigating Ali Rustam for sedition 48 hours before UMNO polls

17 Oct: Ali Rustam being investigated for sedition 48 hours before UMNO poll

Image via myinstantcdn.com

Umno vice-presidential hopeful Senator Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam is being investigated by the police for allegedly making seditious remarks against the Chinese community at a recent event in Kuala Lumpur.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Kuala Lumpur city police have begun investigations following a report lodged by DAP Kota Laksamana assemblyman Lai Kuen Ban at the Tengkera police station on October 9.

        malaysiandigest.com

Brickfields police chief Assistant Commissioner Azlee Abdullah reportedly confirmed both the report and investigation.

        themalaymailonline.com

The Malaysian Insider understood that police have begun recording statements from several people who were at the function, including journalists.

        themalaysianinsider.com

7 Oct: Senator Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam attacked the Chinese during an entrepreneurs event by Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (PUNB). This is what he said

In a move to whip up support in the coming Umno polls, vice-president hopeful Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam attacked the Chinese for allegedly being involved in all "illegal businesses" in the country.

        themalaysianinsider.com

1. Chinese successes are due to their involvement in illegal businesses like casinos, massage parlours and lottery

"We can't have casinos, 4D, Toto, gambling, lottery, massage parlors, ah long. These are all illegal. And the Chinese are the ones dabbling with all the illegal businesses," he told an audience of about 100 people at an entrepreneurs event organised by Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (PUNB) today.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The former Malacca chief minister also said that although he worked tirelessly in the last general election, he was voted out by the Chinese.

        yahoo.com

“PUNB’s work will only be considered a success when there’s a whole chain of businesses, from suppliers down to the sale of finished products, all done by Malays". He then trained his guns at the DAP, saying that if the opposition was to take over the country, “the Malays will be living along the Gombak river”.

        malaysiaedition.net

2. DAP is fighting to destroy the Constitution that protects Malay rights, they will suppress Malays

Ali also alleged that Kelantan has plenty of opportunities for logging but only DAP members are getting the conracts. "DAP wanted to enter Malacca but the people there rejected the Chinese-based party and gave their votes to Barisan Nasional".

        yahoo.com

He accused the DAP of acquiring Bumiputera land using their Malay members and then building tall apartments.
"Who knows what will happen five years from now," he said.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

He also said Penang would not maintain its standing as a tourist hub as the state has a "chief minister who is a racist". "If he can, he'll suppress the Malays to the ground," Ali added.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"DAP wants to destroy the Constitution that protects the rights of Malays. As long as the Constitution is such, they will fight on," he alleged.

        themalaysianinsider.com

3. The Chinese want everything, the Malays have been good to them

The politician, in his campaign to win the hearts of Malay conservatives, also spoke on the necessity to retain Malays in most government agencies, including the police and armed forces.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The Chinese want everything, the Malays have been good to them
Image via people.com.cn

"The Chinese want everything. We've treated them well. The Malays have been good to them". This stirred the emotions of the audience with some of them shouting, "ask the Chinese to return home".

        malaysiaedition.net

"When the Chinese want help, request to build schools, scholarships, the government gave it to them. But when election time came, they forgot all this. All that's important is that they take over the Malays and turn them into 'pendatang'."

        yahoo.com

4. If the Chinese want their request for the government to recognise their education system, they should fulfill the Malay's request and close all vernacular schools

Ali also criticised Chinese schools, in particular the Dong Zong education group, for asking the government to recognise the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) and to allow the PMR and SPM examinations to be conducted in Chinese.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“This doesn’t even happen overseas. If they want all their requests fulfilled, then fulfill our request and close all the vernacular schools and turn it all into national schools like in Thailand and Singapore,” he added.

This Ang Moh Chef Tried To Make “Atas” Chicken Rice… And Asians Absolutely Hated It

Aspiring chefs and fellow foodies, if you're planning to release homemade recipes on Asian dishes, here's a tip - don't try to be smart about it

Chef Matty Matheson.
Image via Toronto Star

Case in point - Canadian chef Matty Matheson thought it would be a good idea to publish a modified recipe of Hainanese chicken rice, a dish that's much loved by Malaysians and Singaporeans alike.The recipe was posted on Vice's food channel, Munchies.

In a bid to 'finesse' the dish, Matheson added ingredients that are not typically found in the Hainanese dish, namely butter and anise hyssop (yeah, we don’t know what that is either)

Matheson's version of a Hainanese chicken rice.

In addition to that, he also used Szechuan buttons, sesame seeds, and edible flowers. You can check out the full recipe here.

Understandably, Matheson's recipe didn't sit well with Singaporeans and Malaysians alike

No, Matty Matheson, this abomination is NOT Hainanese Chicken Rice :(https://t.co/JKenuRqwH2 via @munchies— ceezedby (@ceezedby) October 22, 2016

Daughter Of Malaysian Immigrants In The US Shot Dead A Week Before Her Birthday

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

On the night of Saturday, 29 May, Carmen Cai Yi Lee was shot dead while she was driving home on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, a road in a small city outside of Atlanta, Georgia, according to Doraville police

A daughter of Malaysian immigrants, Carmen was a week away from celebrating her 25th birthday.She was born on 5 June 1996, according to her online obituary, where her friends and family have left their tribute for the University of Georgia graduate with a degree in finance.The Doraville police, in a Facebook post, noted that Carmen's body was found in the driver's seat by a concerned officer who saw a vehicle stopped by the roadway around 9.30pm last Saturday.

A treasured daughter & sister is being remembered fondly by her family as the glue that made them stronger. 25-year-old Carmen Lee was found shot dead along Peachtree Industrial Blvd. Police believe it's a case of wrong place, wrong time. Details @cbs46 #crime #Atlanta pic.twitter.com/UX1QW1I9Fl— Jamie S Kennedy (@Jamie_S_Kennedy) June 3, 2021

Police believe that it was a "case of wrong time wrong place"

"Our detectives are working to piece together what, where, and why this happened to bring justice for Carmen and her family," CBS46 quoted Doraville police captain T.K. Gordon as saying on 2 June.Her family, meanwhile, is trying to come to terms with the tragedy."All she wanted was to be successful and provide for her parents. She was one of the fiercest people out in the world," her younger brother, Alvin Lee, wrote on a GoFundMe page."As I am writing this, I can't even begin to explain the emotions that are running through me right now. I am devastated knowing that my sister won't be there for my most important moments."

Image via Resonate

Describing his elder sister as the glue that held their family together in the darkest of times, Alvin wrote that Carmen was in a stable relationship with her boyfriend and had the rest of her life planned

"Being the older child meant she had the most responsibility. She was put in the position of taking care of our parents and her younger siblings. Yet, even with all that responsibility on her shoulders, she never gave in. It hurts to know that she is gone," read her brother's GoFundMe post that has been set up to help raise money for her parents to cover her funeral and memorial services.As of this writing, it has raised USD60,197 of its USD5,000 goal.Carmen's boyfriend, Petrus Reyes, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she was "the most gentle soul and that she was "always doing something for someone else".According to him, she made it her mission to serve not only as a role model to her younger brothers but also to help her parents, who weren't native English speakers.Reyes said that they had planned to buy a home together in Duluth, Minnesota, where Carmen had grown up, so she could be closer to her parents, who are now trying to imagine life without her.

The fatal shooting of the young woman has made her the latest victims this year on roadways in metro Atlanta and surrounding counties

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Carmen is one of the 10 people shot dead while driving or riding in cars this year, with many of the cases attributed to road rage.Doraville investigators remain hopeful that someone will come forward with information about the shooting that killed Carmen, despite the fact the majority of road shootings remain unsolved.

Makan Nasi Lauk Sayur Harga RM2, Reaksi Murid-Murid Ini Buat Saya Menangis Melihat Mereka

Dalam zaman 'serba naik' ini, tidak mustahil sekiranya ada sesetengah kantin sekolah yang menjual makanan dengan harga yang agak mahal

Ini adalah realiti hari ini kerana sesetengah peniaga kantin sendiri tersepit dengan kenaikan harga barang keperluan yang kian meningkat hari demi hari.Kalau dulu, dengan duit 30 sen pun kita sudah boleh beli karipap sebiji tapi kini dengan wang sebanyak itu kita hanya mampu bayar untuk air suam semata-mata. Jadi, apabila perkara sebegini terjadi, kesannya sudah tentu pada murid-murid sekolah terutamanya mereka yang berlatar belakangkan keluarga yang kurang senang.

Remember When Malaysian TV Used To Be Like This?

Malaysian television has come a long way in many ways...

Some of these things might be obvious but there are probably some things you didn't know that's new to Malaysian TV! Let's take a look... But first! Remember this song that was played on TV everyday?

×

Back then:

1. Everything was in black and white

×

We associate old things with black and white! Back in the day, TV shows were shown in black and white which may be revolutionary at that time, but now not so much.

2. There were only so many channels to watch

Image via cs.cmu.edu

Last time, there were only so many channels to scroll through. TV1 and TV2 were the first two channels before TV3, NTV7 and 8TV came in much later... When you said "there's nothing to watch", it was probably true.

3. Don't even get started on the bad reception...

Image via wallpaper222

You've been waiting for your TV show to go on live at 6PM (Power Rangers on RTM2 anyone?). You've got everything set up nicely but just 10 minutes before the show, a huge array of clouds hover in near your area. It messes up your reception. So you spend the next 30 minutes trying to fix it and by the time you do, the show is already running halfway. What happened before that? You have to depend on your friends who watched it to tell you the plot. Talk about buzzkill...

4. We'd refer to the newspapers for programme listings!

Image via Currybet

This was our routine daily:1. Wake up2. Get ready for school3. Eat breakfast4. Take the entertainment section out from the newspaper5. Scan the programme listings6. Aim to get back home in time before the show starts7. Repeat

5. We had to rush home earlier to catch the TV episode!

Image via moviebugz

Your favourite cantonese show goes on air at 7PM. You want to know what happens next with Ah Wong and his wife! But then there's the crazy KL traffic, and the meeting at 5PM. Everyday is a battle to plan out your day so you can reach home on time to follow that series!

BUT NOW...

1. Say goodbye to black and white and say hello to High Definition!

Image via giphy.com

With the advancement of our televisions, our content is now not only broadcasted in colour but in High Definition! Everything is crisp, clear, and definitely more visually pleasing. Visuals aren't the only thing that get an upgrade, audio sounds much better too!

2. We have access to loads of content from around the world!

Image via Deadline

We are definitely spoilt for choice when it comes to content now. What used to be months of waiting for popular TV series to be broadcasted in Malaysia now gets shown on the same day! It's even better when it comes to sports. With live broadcasting, we get to see our favourite teams in action! It's no longer all about the popular sports too, we now have live broadcasts of eSports and MMA which are slowly having a following.

3. All the information you need can be found at the touch of your fingertips!

Image via giphy.com

With a press of a button, you can scroll through what's on for the rest of the day, or for the week, if you're that kind of person who loves to plan things in advance. P.S: There are programme guides on the Internet too! At our SAYS coupon page, we've a ton of deals on gadgets that helps you easily access all the program guides you want, even in advance for weeks to come!

4. You can now pre-record your favourite shows to be watched later!

Image via revisesmart.co.uk

With so much content to choose from, it's quite easy to have FOMO (fear of missing out) on good TV shows. Instead of constantly switching channels just to get glimpses of the show, you can now record any programme of your choice! Many content providers now provide this option for convenience. Talk about being spoilt for choice!

Right now, all these features are mostly available for those on with a cable subscription...

Many of these features are mostly enjoyed by those who can afford cable TV, which leaves out a majority of Malaysians from experiencing them too.

To top if off, Malaysians will no longer be able to watch free-to-air channels...

Unless you pay for cable TV, Malaysians will no longer be able to watch free-to-air channels next year onwards.

Because next year, Malaysian TV is going fully digital with the introduction of DTTV (Digital Terrestrial Television), a device that will be replacing those old school antennas!

This means no more bad reception and Malaysians get access to better content! The roll out begins sometime in 2016. We can't wait!

ALSO on SAYS, local TV shows that have the most basic titles...

                Zombi Kilang Biskut And Other Local Horror Movies With Super Basic Titles

UK-Based Malaysian Found Dead With Head Missing Some 350KM Away From Her Home

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

A Malaysian woman living in the UK who went missing two weeks ago was found dead with her head missing from her body on Sunday, 27 June

67-year-old Chong Mee Kuen — or Mee Kuen Chong as reported in the UK media — went missing on 11 June.

Keep the suay (bad luck) away! Something that everyone does before CNY is to spring clean the home, as this is said to get rid of all the bad luck from the previous year.But why stop at just your home? Since everyone wants to have a celebration that's filled with luck and prosperity, it's also important to "spring clean" yourself, in particular, your mouth, where lots of germs gather.

That's why Listerine wants to help you "swish away suay", hehe!

It's important to have good oral health all year round, but it's particularly vital during Chinese New Year, as not only will you be eating a lot, you'll also be doing plenty of socialising. The last thing you want is to have the suay-ness of bad oral health following you around, bringing things like bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.With Listerine, you can swish away 99.9% of suay germs* for a healthier and cleaner mouth, so you can enjoy good food, as well as have the confidence to catch up with your loved ones with a bright smile and fresh breath.*Germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.

Listerine's Total Care variant is clinically proven to clean and protect, with six benefits for a healthier mouth, wah!

Image via ViralCham (Provided to SAYS)

The most important benefit is that it contains essential oils that kills 99.9% of mouth germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.Not only does it contain fluoride for stronger teeth and healthier gums, it also helps keep teeth naturally white and helps reduce plaque formation. It even gives you long-lasting fresh breath with a pleasant minty scent.Those who prefer a gentler mouthwash can opt for the Total Care Less Intense variant instead, which has a milder taste but all the same benefits as the original.

Image via SAYS

All you have to do is swish the mouthwash in your mouth for 30 seconds, twice daily after brushing, and you're good to go.Now you can spend the festive season confident that you can feast on yummy eats and spend time with friends and family without worrying about bad breath or other oral problems.

Prior to the announcement, Malaysians noticed a change in the refreshments served at their local KFCs

Before the official announcement of the change, Tantan News reported on 23 July that a Malaysian found a KFC outlet was still using their iconic Pepsi cup even though the soda machine has Coca-Cola logos.

A reddit user also posted a photo of a banner placed in a KFC outlet which promotes the pairing of Coca-Cola with their meals.

One reddit user commented that they received a Coke bottle instead of a Pepsi.

Another Reddit user, presumably from Indonesia, commented that their country has transitioned from Pepsi to Coca-Cola since 2020.

Here is a breakdown of how Malaysian elections work:

THE ELECTION SYSTEM

Malaysia is a parliamentary democracy, and a constitutional monarchy in which the king plays a largely ceremonial role, although he has certain discretionary powers.Elections are held every five years unless the prime minister calls for an early poll.The election process is based on the 'first-past-the-post' system, which means the party that wins 112 seats – the number needed for a simple majority in the 222-seat lower house of parliament – will form a government.An election must be held within 60 days of the dissolution of parliament, which means the upcoming vote should be held by 9 December.

THE VOTERS

About 21.1 million Malaysians are eligible to vote in the upcoming election, the law minister said in December.Some five million will be voting for the first time, largely as a result of the government lowering the minimum voting age to 18 years from 21.Voting is not compulsory and turnout fluctuates. In the last 2018 polls, 82.3% out of nearly 15 million voters cast their ballots – one of the highest in Malaysia's history.A high turnout typically tends to favour the opposition, while a lower participation favours the incumbent.

THE MAIN PARTIES

No single political party has ever formed a government on its own, and the multi-ethnic make-up of Malaysia's society has a major influence on the composition of coalitions.There are two main coalitions vying to form government – Barisan Nasional (BN), which is part of the current ruling coalition, and the opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH).Barisan Nasional is led by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a Malay nationalist party that aims to prioritise interests of the ethnic-Malay majority.The alliance, which includes smaller parties representing ethnic-Chinese and Indian minorities, governed Malaysia for six decades before it was toppled by Pakatan in the 2018 polls due to widespread allegations of corruption.But UMNO returned to power in 2020 as part of another alliance after the Pakatan-led coalition collapsed.The opposition, Pakatan, is a multi-ethnic coalition led by the reformist party, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).PH won the 2018 election under the leadership of former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, but lost power two years later due to infighting. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim currently leads the alliance.There are several other smaller political parties and alliances in the fray, including Islamic party PAS, the newly formed youth-centric MUDA, the Malay-focused Bersatu, and the Borneo-based Gabungan Parti Sarawak coalition. Obtaining their support could prove crucial to the next coalition government.Current premier Ismail Sabri has been named as UMNO's candidate to be prime minister again. Other parties haven't named their candidates for the premiership yet.Campaigning lasts for up to 15 days with one day of polling. The Election Commission typically declares a winner on the same night.
