In conjuction with the month of Zulhijjah, local charity organisation Aman Palestin is conducting their Ibadah Korban di Bumi Anbia campaign

The act of korban involves sacrificing animals such as sheep, cattle, and goats. This usually takes place during Eid al-Adha, or more commonly known as Hari Raya Haji, which is celebrated by Muslims worldwide. As the poor and needy are one the groups that receive daging korban during this celebration, Aman Palestin wishes to give Malaysians the chance to experience performing ibadah korban for countries such as Palestine, Syria, and Yemen.

With this initiative, Muslims in Palestine, Syria, and Yemen will receive aid in the form of meat from the ibadah korban

As Muslims are taught to help other fellow human beings in accordance with the teachings of Islam, Aman Palestin understands this by extending aid to those in Middle East, as many are living in destitute conditions. For example, those living in Palestine, Syria, and Yemen are facing conditions of constant oppression and troubling living conditions. This shows that the demand for food such as sacrificial meat is high, and they are in desperate need for constant help from other countries such as Malaysia.

Additionally, it is believed that through ibadah korban, Muslims are able to pursue fisabilillah jihad, which is an Arabic expression meaning "for the sake of Allah"

The concept of jihad is not only limited to the act of taking up arms. In the context of ibadah korban, it can also be viewed as a Muslim's efforts in providing basic food supply to those in need. And of course, the act of performing ibadah korban for our Muslim brothers and sisters is seen as an act of solidarity. Not just by voicing our support, but also by doing everything within our means to assist them in their plight to protect the sanctity of Islam.

Muslims wanting to carry out ibadah korban for Palestinians, Syrians, and Yemenis may do so by choosing to donate different cuts of meat as follows:

This Girl Wore A Pasar Malam Dress To KL Fashion Week Because Of A Twitter Challenge

On Friday, on 16 August, Twitter user @harafnaw quoted a viral tweet of a bootleg 'Fila' dress and joked that she would wear it to KL Fashion Week if she got 10 retweets

The dress was in an unflattering shade of beige, had polka dot ruffles in questionable places, and the 'Fila' logo was printed on it in big letters.

Obviously, the dress isn't actually from Fila.

10 rt and ill wear this to klfw https://t.co/hqw7EeDkVJ— farah (@harafnaw) August 16, 2019

She gained 8,700 retweets in no time.
One of Farah's friends wanted to make sure she kept her word, so he paid someone to find the dress and deliver it to him in time for the fashion show.

One of Farah's best friends, Adam Zainal, told SAYS that when he discovered that the dress was from a pasar malam stall in Kelantan, he was determined to get it delivered to him.

He tweeted that he needed a favour from someone in the Pasir Mas area. Then, a stranger agreed to purchase the dress for him and he paid them RM50 for their service. The dress itself costed him RM18.

The dress arrived safely on Tuesday, 20 August, and Adam personally handed it over to Farah just in time for the fashion show.

Image via Twitter @harafnaw

The next day, Wan Farah showed up to KL Fashion Week in the infamous dress - and rocked it!

At first, she felt nervous and insecure about her outfit but it was too late to back out.

She wrote in a tweet, "Fashion is about being bold and brave. Challenge accepted! Repping 'rempit couture' at KL Fashion Week."

Here's Farah flaunting the dress at KL Fashion Week:

Netizens were impressed by how great the dress looked on her

Another person wrote, "It looks great because you're confident and bold."

"You're so beautiful. You made the dress look expensive. Amazing!" another user exclaimed.

Uniqlo Is Launching New Designs For Their Jeans That Are Super Trendy And Sustainable

This Spotlight is sponsored by Uniqlo.

Love all things Uniqlo? The good news is that they're releasing a new line of jeans, and you definitely gotta check them out!

Uniqlo is a brand synonymous with comfort and quality, which is why Malaysians go bonkers for new releases. This time 'round, on 25 July, they'll be launching four different jeans designs that will flatter your body shape.

What's cool about Uniqlo's latest launch is that they're actually made out of sustainable material

Image via Uniqlo (Provided to SAYS)

Uniqlo's new jeans line is made with a rigid denim that's fully 100% cotton. This material allows the jeans to retain its shape even after washing. In doing so, you will be able to get so much bang for your buck as your pair of Uniqlo jeans will not lose its shape, so you won't have to buy any replacements. Another thing to note about this new release is that some designs feature selvage denim made with a traditional method. Keep reading, we'll tell you more about that later. (;

Besides that, in line with Uniqlo's green initiatives, the Japanese casual wear brand delves a little into the eco-friendly manufacturing process behind the making of the jeans

Utilising the BlueCycle method, Uniqlo jeans require less water* during production when compared to other traditional jeans-making procedures, saving up to 99%* of water usage. They also employ lasers in the manufacturing process, which improves the work environment greatly while reducing heavy manual labour.

*Data is based on a study of Regular Fit Jeans (68 Blue) between 2017 and 2018. Water savings will vary slightly between products.

Here's a peep at the four different designs that Uniqlo is bringing to their stores:

1. If you fancy a looser silhouette, the Baggy Jeans are what you need

Things You Should And Shouldn't Do Now That There's A Typhoid Outbreak

It's true. There are confirmed cases of typhoid in KL.
So far the Health Ministry has announced that 32 cases of typhoid fever have been reported in the Kuala Lumpur area, making people in the capital to be wary of a typhoid outbreak.

The Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) in Jalan Tun Razak.
Image via TMI

The outbreak started with 7 cases that were reported with the Federal Territory Health Department in the first week of August. The 7 people affected were said to be construction workers staying in Cheras and working near downtown Kuala Lumpur.Typhoid is a life-threatening bacterial disease and it can be contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with feces or urine from an infected person, even if the latter does not show any symptoms of the infection.That said, typhoid only affects humans, not animals, and so transmission of the disease is only from human to human. In light of which, we're going to look at things to avoid in order to prevent contracting the typhoid fever.

Among the symptoms of typhoid, the patient experiences:

Poor appetite;Abdominal pain;Headaches;Generalized aches and pains;Fever, often up to 104 F;Lethargy (usually only if untreated);Intestinal bleeding or perforation (after two to three weeks of the disease);Diarrhea or constipation.

        medicinenet.com

Here are some basic steps you should follow

1. Wash your hands frequently, especially before preparing a meal

Image via Sharon Is Anti-Social Imagines

2. Cooking kills typhoid

So if you are eating out, make sure the food (meat, fish or vegetables, whatever it is that you're eating) has been thoroughly cooked and is being served steaming hot.

3. Typhoid is quite common in areas with poor hygiene, so avoid roadside stalls

Image via mycarforum

Therefore, avoid street food and drinks from street vendors. Only use ice that is made from bottled or boiled water, and avoid popsicles or flavored ice.Ask for bottled drinking water and make sure it's sealed from a reputable company.

4. Only eat peeled fruits and vegetables

Avoid fruits and vegetables that you have not peeled yourself, particularly foods like lettuce. Also, eat only those fruits that have been freshly peeled, such as oranges and bananas. Do not peel them and store them away for eating later.Make sure to wash all the raw fruits and vegetables with clean water before consuming.

5. Make sure your drinking water is boiled or treated

Image via Imgur

Even if your drinking water looks clean, it can and may contain typhoid bacteria. Water for drinking can be made safe in two ways: Boil your drinking water, or add bleach to kill typhoid bacteria.TIP: Make a chlorine solution by mixing a teaspoon of bleach to 25 litres of water.

6. Store your drinking water safely

Clean water can become contaminated again if it is not stored safely. So make sure to store the drinking water in a clean container with a small opening or a cover. Use it within 4 hours.TIP: Pour from the water container - do not dip a cup into the container.

Here's how you can prevent others from infecting

1. If you're recovering from typhoid fever, take your antibiotics

Make sure you follow your doctor's instructions for taking your antibiotics and be sure to finish the entire prescription.

2. Often wash your hands with clean water and soap

The single most important thing that you can do to keep from spreading the infection to others. Use hot, soapy water and scrub thoroughly for at least 30 seconds, especially before eating and after using the toilet.Also, don't prepare food for others until your doctor says you're no longer contagious.

Lastly, it's always better to be safe than sorry!
So if ever you have doubts about whether to eat something, learn this phrase as designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it.

Hold up. Is this man 'warming' up the ice before serving me my drink? Chup, chill...

Najib was speaking to the Dewan Rakyat on 12 March.

Rekod BTS Lebur, Rapper Dari India Rampas Takhta Jumlah Tontonan 24 Jam Tertinggi. Wow!

Siapa sangka, rekod tontonan BTS boleh lebur selepas hanya tiga bulan berada di atas

BTS
Image via ibighit / YouTube

Lagu hit BTS berjudul 'Boy With Luv' yang dilancarkan pada 12 April 2019 lalu serta-merta meletus apabila berjaya merangkul takhta sebagai video dengan jumlah tontonan tertinggi dalam tempoh 24 jam di YouTube.Video tersebut mengutip sebanyak 74.6 juta tontonan dalam masa satu hari, sekali gus mencipta rekod dunia terbaru mengalahkan lagu 'Kill This Love' nyanyian Blackpink sebelum ini dengan 56.7 juta.

Namun sekarang, seorang rapper tidak dikenali dari India telah 'tapau' rekod BTS tersebut

Image via Sony Music India / YouTube

Tarikh 10 Julai 2019 menjadi sejarah buat rapper dari India yang dikenali dengan nama Badshah. Badshah yang mempertaruhkan lagu 'Paagal' ternyata berjaya menarik perhatian dunia apabila video muziknya melangkau jumlah tontonan BTS dalam tempoh 24 jam.Memetik laporan Koreaboo, video 'Paagal' berjaya mencatat jumlah tontonan sebanyak 75 juta yang tidak pernah dicapai oleh mana-mana individu sebelum ini, termasuk Taylor Swift. Wow!

Klik butang play untuk dengar lagu 'Paagal' di bawah:

×

Hairannya, perkara ini tidak heboh dan ramai yang masih tidak tahu, malah pihak YouTube pun masih belum mengeluarkan sebarang pengumuman rasmi

Image via Sony Music India / YouTube

Pihak YouTube biasanya akan mengeluarkan pengumuman rasmi terhadap pencapaian rekod tontonan sepertimana yang diterima oleh Ariana Grande, Blackpink dan BTS sebelum ini.Namun berbeza pula ceritanya untuk Badshah. Hal ini menyebabkan ramai orang mula sangsi terhadap pencapaian 'Paagal' meraih 75 juta tontonan dalam tempoh 24 jam tersebut.

Ada juga pihak yang menuduh Badshah sebenarnya telah membeli tontonan palsu sehingga berjaya memecahkan rekod dunia yang dipegang BTS

Image via Mashable India

Pesaing dalam industri muzik di India mula "berbisik" dan mendakwa bahawa lagu Badshah itu telah mendapat pertolongan dari server farms dan bots - dua alat digital yang terletak di bawah kategori 'fake views'.Hari berikutnya, dakwaan yang berbeza pula muncul yang mengatakan Badshah dan wakil syarikatnya telah membeli iklan dari Google dan YouTube yang membolehkan iklan video tersebut muncul di merata-rata tempat.

Image via Bloomberg

Maksudnya, jika pengguna menyaksikan iklan yang memaparkan 'Paagal' untuk masa tertentu sebelum melangkau ke video yang dikehendaki, tontonan tetap akan dikira dan sekali gus membantu menaikkan jumlah tontonan keseluruhan.

Tuduhan ini memaksa pihak YouTube untuk menilai semula rekod tersebut sementara ia belum rasmi

Image via marketwatch.com

Bloomberg melaporkan bahawa amalan membeli jutaan tontonan ini sudah menjadi norma kepada kebanyakan artis popular dan Badshah bukanlah satu-satunya artis yang melakukannya.Amalan ini bagaimanapun menimbulkan keraguan terhadap populariti sebenar sesebuah klip video sehingga memaksa pihak YouTube untuk mengkaji semula cara mereka mengira jumlah tontonan.

Badshah menyelar tindakan YouTube dan percaya platform itu mengamalkan 'double standards' dan sengaja memilih untuk tidak mengiktiraf hasil kerjanya

Image via My Nation

Badshah menuduh YouTube begitu terbuka untuk mengumumkan rekod daripada superstar global seperti Taylor Swift dan Ariana Grande, tetapi tidak melakukan perkara sama apabila rapper tidak dikenali dari India berada di puncak."Kami bekerja keras untuk ini, mempromosikannya di seluruh dunia," tulis Badshah di Instagram. "Saya tidak mahu orang luar melihat India sebagaimana yang ditunjukkan dalam filem seperti 'Slumdog Millionaire.' Kami setaraf dengan dunia. Dan inilah masanya untuk kami bersinar."

Pengaruh besar yang dibawa Badshah telah menjadikannya sebagai salah seorang daripada 100 selebriti paling kaya di India, menurut Forbes

Image via Hindustan Times

Buat masa ini, Badshah masih menunggu pengumuman rasmi dari pihak YouTube terhadap kejayaan lagu 'Paagal' tersebut.Adakah YouTube akan mengiktiraf 'Paagal'? Sama-sama kita nantikan.

McDonald's China Introduces Coriander Ice Cream And It Kinda Looks Tasty

Controversial opinion but I LOVE coriander. Without it, the taste of soups, sauces, and marinades just do not have that same kick to it.

Coriander is that subtle ingredient that doesn't get praised enough, but important enough to leave an impact in a dish or alter the taste completely.Paired with ice cream though? I'm not so sure.

Image via Syd Wachs/Unsplash

Despite it being a divisive ingredient and garnish, McDonald's China recently released a coriander-flavoured sundae that has got people either feeling intrigued or making them gag

The fast-food chain introduced the new flavour for a limited time between 21 February and 25 February. It's selling at CNY6.6 (RM4.38) in McDonald's stores in China as a series of "members only" promotions.Considering many dishes combine both savoury and sweet together, this would make sense. Right?

Single And Previously Registered For BR1M? You May Be Getting RM100 BSH Aid From The Govt

The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has reinstated the Cost of Living Aid (BSH) payment for singles

Image via NSTP

Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng made the announcement yesterday, 19 February.

The payment of RM100 will be given to those who are registered under the "single" category in the 2018 BSH database

About three million Malaysians will benefit from this payment, which would involve RM300 million in government funds.New registrants will not be eligible for the payment, as they will fall under the BSH 2019 database."The payment will be made by the end of March 2019 and will be deposited directly into their bank account," said Lim.

The move comes after Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin presented a proposal to reinstate the singles category, following its abolishment in BSH 2019

"Maybe the allocation cannot be in billions, and perhaps it cannot be implemented as it was under the previous administration but the interests of our young people should be safeguarded so that they can make a living for themselves," Muhyiddin said, as reported by The Star.However, the Finance Minister has mentioned that the rate of further payments for singles under BSH 2019 will need to be reviewed and presented to the Cabinet for a decision.

Additionally, Malaysians can now update their details on the official BSH website to be eligible for future payments of the financial aid

Image via MyBSH

Families with a household income under RM4,000 are eligible for the financial aid. The breakdown is as follows:- RM1,000 for income under RM2,000- RM700 for income between RM2,001 and RM3,000- RM500 for income between RM3,001 and RM4,000Recipients can update their details online at https://bsh.hasil.gov.my/or at any Inland Revenue Board Of Malaysia (LHDN) branches, HASiL service centres, or Urban Transformation Centres (UTC).

All Smiles For Brave Kakak Who Catches Rat With Bare Hands While Family Screams In Fear

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

We always dread the day when we find out that we have an uninvited guest in our home.
Whether it be a rat, cockroach, or something scarier like a snake, it's always such a pain to catch the nasty buggers and get rid of them.

Well, lucky for this social media content creator, Chui Thing Lim, whose awesome kakak is absolutely fearless when it comes to catching vermin in the house.In a recently viral TikTok video, Lim shared how brave her kakak, referred to as Ah Nee, was when they had a rat scuttling around the house.Speaking with SAYS, Lim said that Ah Nee ran up to her and her family while they were having dinner and told them that a rat was on the loose.

Image via @chuithing (TikTok)

Armed with a broom, a trash can, and a badminton racket, Ah Nee and Lim's boyfriend proceeded to confront the rat while Lim took the role of a cameraman

In the video, the rat can be seen running up and down the side of a wall and even into a prayer alcove to avoid capture. Although it was fast, it wasn't fast enough for Ah Nee because, within a few seconds, she had it cornered against a wall with the help of Lim's boyfriend.With a flourish of her hand, Ah Nee picked up the rat with a huge smile on her face, seemingly proud of managing to catch the little home invader.The whole saga ended with Ah Nee taking the rat outside the house before letting it go.

Lim's video has since garnered 1.1 million views and 48,800 likes, with many netizens praising the housekeeper's bravery for catching the rat

100 People Attended Public Caning Of 2 Terengganu Women Charged With Same-Sex Relations

Earlier today, 3 September, 100 people witnessed the public caning of two Terengganu women who were convicted of attempting to have lesbian sex last month

People were waiting to enter the Kuala Terengganu Syariah High Court today to witness the public caning of the women.
Image via Berita Harian

Berita Harian reported that the women were caned six times each by a caning officer from the Kajang Women's Prison in front of a panel of judges at about 10.10am today.Although the punishment was carried out behind closed doors, Malay Mail reported Syariah lawyer Marlina Amir Hamzah as saying that the women were caned in full view of nearly 100 people including members of the public, government agency representatives, and members of non-governmental organisations.According to Free Malaysia Today, the women's punishment marked Terengganu's first sentencing on same-sex relations.

The Muslim Lawyers Association (PPMM) claimed that the women were given private access in and out of court to protect their identities

"They were brought through different doors, they were taken out through different doors, as the purpose is not to humiliate (the women)," PPMM deputy president Abdul Rahim Sinwan was quoted as saying by Malay Mail."Humiliation is out of the question, to hurt the person is out of the question," Abdul added.

Abdul also claimed that caning, under the Syariah law, is not meant to hurt the person."It is to educate the person. Therefore it's not painful, it's not harsh," Abdul said, before reiterating that Syariah caning is different from civil ones.

The public caning has since attracted criticism from multiple NGOs

The Star reported that two women's rights groups, Justice for Sisters and Sisters in Islam, called the punishment "a travesty and a grave miscarriage of justice". The groups argued that under the Prison Act 1995 and Prison Regulations 2000, caning can only be carried out against prisoners."As the sentences of the two women did not include imprisonment, they were not considered prisoners as defined by the Prison Act and Prison Regulations," the groups said in a joint press statement.

"Outraged and appalled", the Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) called the public caning "inhumane and degrading".

Sexual acts between two consenting adults should not be criminalised, let alone punished with whipping, which is inhumane and degrading. We are outraged and appalled by this grave violation of human rights.  https://t.co/Idv9sGLPBf— Women's Aid Org (@womensaidorg) September 3, 2018

Another local NGO, PELANGI Campaign, also lamented the punishment against the women.

Today is a sad day for LGBTQ people in Malaysia, the two women were caned 6 times at the Terengganu Syariah Court #CampurLGBT https://t.co/bCku2BEFHa— PELANGI Campaign (@pelangicampaign) September 3, 2018

The women were caught by Islamic enforcement officers last month for attempting to have sex in a car

Upon their arrest, a dildo was also found hidden under the driver's seat in the car.The women then pleaded guilty to breaking an Islamic law which prohibits same-sex relations.

Here's a recap of the women's conviction:

They were also fined RM3,300 each.

Where should the SPR stamp be?

When you are issued the Ballot Paper, the Clerk will stamp/chop the Ballot Paper before giving it to you.

The stamp/chop is supposed to be right in the middle of the perforated line - the place where you tear the ballot paper and separate it from the counterfoil.

The Ballot Paper goes to the Voter; while the counterfoil belongs to SPR.

The stamp/chop must appear on BOTH parts -- on the counterfoil and the ballot paper.

        thestar.com.my

It is illegal for candidates to campaign after the end of the campaign period on the eve of polling day. During polling day, no party booths for canvassing or campaigning.

        thestar.com.my

IF you witness any candidate wrongdoing, report it straight to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. If people approach and try to bribe you for your vote, go to the MACC.

        thestar.com.my

4. How do I do postal voting from overseas?

To register as a postal voter, fill in Form1B and return it to the EC by email, fax or post. (http://www.spr.gov.my/images/stories/pdf/borang_1B.pdf)

        spr.gov.my

Your postal ballot will be sent to the nearest Malaysian embassy or High Commmision for you to collect. The EC website will list the day when it is ready for your collection.

        spr.gov.my

Elections in Malaysia exist at two levels: Federal level and State level. At the federal level, voters elect the 222-member House of Representatives/Dewan Rakyat.

        wikipedia.org

        wikipedia.org

        thestar.com.my

        thestar.com.my

8. What if I don't want to vote for either candidates?

If you conscience do not allow you to vote for any of the candidates, you can still practice your democracy by handing in a blank vote or spoiling your vote.

        mmail.com.my

You don't have to choose. In fact it lets you go a step further to put on record that none of the candidates appeal to you.

        mmail.com.my

The same way others are voting to express support for a candidate, a person who spoils the ballot is making a statement that she/he does not support any of them.

        mmail.com.my

It is legal to do so and it does not make one’s vote any less legitimate. You are still performing your civic duty by participating in the electoral process.

        mmail.com.my

To decrease the chances of fraud,show up on polling day to ensure no one else is voting in your name. You would still be voting in your conscience.

Be Ready To Fork Out More For Your  Roti Canai And Mee Goreng From 1 March Onwards

The government has declared that they will stop providing subsidy for the 25kg-bag wheat flour starting today, 1 March

Image via The Star

Millers who attended a meeting with the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry last week said they were informed about the subsidy removal then.The subsidy of RM8.25 for the 25kg-bag of wheat flour are to be removed from today, moving the price up to RM42 per bag. Wholesalers are also believed to have received a circular on the revised prices for the 25kg-bag of flour for Peninsula Malaysia including Blue Key brand, which is now priced at RM42 without the subsidy.“The 25kg-bag of flour, which is purchased by retailers such as coffee shops and mamak restaurants, will increase from RM33.75 to RM42,”said a flour miller, Ng.

        thestar.com.my

However, the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry has informed that they will maintain the subsidised RM1.35 price for the 1kg premium wheat flour that is commonly purchased by local households

Ng said they used to get RM600 to RM800 in subsidies per metric tonne of flour produced each month or 60 sen to 80 sen per kilo depending on the price of wheat in the market.These subsidies, he said, had distorted the market price of flour as the cost of milling wheat into flour could cost more than RM33.75 per kilo. The price for the production of flour varies, based on wheat price which is now RM968 (US$230) per tonne.“We welcome the Government’s decision,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

So, how exactly would this sudden subsidy cut affect the prices of breakfast food in Malaysia?

Image via Journey Routes

When speaking to English daily, The Star, a restaurant owner named Selva, said that the trade ministry's subsidy cut could affect the prices of roti canai served in local restaurants. Since the subsidy cut would increase the price of the 25kg of wheat flour to RM42 per bag, Siva explained that he would have start charging RM1.20 per piece of roti canai instead of RM1 that he's charging now."All this while, we have maintained our RM1 price because we don’t want to burden our customers. But with this new price revision, we need to increase it," added Siva.

Agreeing with Siva, Maliia Bakery (M) Sdn Bhd chief executive officer M. Kumaresan, lamented that the subsidy cut would see a 30% increase in cost which would certainly impact his business

"We spend between RM100,000 and RM150,000 on various types of flour including wheat flour.  "We will use up our present stock and when that finishes, we will have to sell our products at a higher price," added Kumaresan.

According to The Star and local restaurant-owners, this subsidy cut may increase the price of food items that heavily rely on wheat flour, such as local kuihs, roti canai and noodle dishes

Talking about price hikes, late last year, the government informed that there will be a 140% hike in toll prices:

Education Minister Bans Chinese Schools From Holding Computer Classes During School Hours

Education Minister Dr. Maszlee Malik has ordered Chinese vernacular schools to stop conducting computer classes during school hours

Image via Seehua Online

theSun reported Maszlee as saying that the classes, if held during school hours, violate several laws under the Education Act 1996 (Act 550). They should only be conducted after school hours as they fall under extracurricular activities."The school hours which are set under the ministry circular is meant to include the national syllabus only and nothing else," the Education Minister was quoted as saying by theSun.Maszlee spoke to reporters at the Higher Education Ministry building yesterday.

He added that it will no longer be compulsory for students in Chinese vernacular schools to attend computer classes

His statement came after parents complained that their children, students of Chinese vernacular schools, were being made to enrol in computer classes during school hours, according to theSun."Any support letter which was issued by the former deputy Education Minister to allow several schools to conduct computer classes during school hours before this will automatically be null and void," he added.

Previously, the United Chinese School Committees' Association of Malaysia (UCSCAM) said that students should not be forced to pay for classes that are not included in the national syllabus, voicing their support for the ministry's move

According to a Sin Chew Daily report on 9 June, UCSCAM said that Chinese vernacular schools are a part of the free education provided by the ministry. Hence, schools should adhere to the national syllabus and not employ external vendors for classes."On top of conducting computer classes during school hours, putting students who didn't pay for the classes in either the library or leaving them in the classroom by themselves is highly unfair to them," UCSCAM said.

Prior to Maszlee's announcement, a few schools had objected the move, which was previously ordered by state education departments

The board of SJK(C) Tun Tan Siew Sin

SJK(C) Tun Tan Siew Sin expressed disappointment over an order by the Selangor Education Department previously to cease paid computer classes during school hours earlier this month, according to Malay Mail.The school board said that students benefited from the classes as it help them gain the necessary skills needed for their future, stressing that the classes only cost RM10 per month.Furthermore, the school argued that the classes were conducted during school hours to avoid inconveniencing parents.

SJK(C) Mak Mandin board chairman Eow Seik Fong told Kwong Wah on Tuesday, 26 June, that the school had spent RM240,000 on a new computer room. He argued that teachers and parents will be greatly inconvenienced by putting computer classes under extracurricular activities. Eow, who stressed on the importance for students to catch up with new technology, added that the school is only charging students RM25 for the computer classes.

A Woman Sued Her Lawyers Because They Didn't Explain A Divorce Would End Her Marriage

A British woman attempted to sue her former lawyers for professional negligence, claiming that they failed to advise that finalising divorce proceedings would inevitably cause her marriage to end

The curious case - made against two solicitor firms - had already been rejected by the court, but was revealed in the transcript of a later appeal by the claimant against the dismissal of other aspects of her case.

        dailymail.co.uk

The woman claims lawyers failed to advise that finalising divorce proceedings would officially end her marriage
Image via dailymail.co.uk

Jane Mulcahy had argued that the lawyers should have made it clear that a divorce would cause her marriage to be terminated - something which she apparently wanted to avoid.

        independent.co.uk

Image via edgecastcdn.net

She claimed lawyers failed to take into account her faith and should have recommended judicial separation - a step away from full divorce - as an alternative course of action

The allegation was revealed in a subsequent appeal court judgment last month, in which Lord Justice Briggs said:

        news.com.au

"The most striking of Mrs Mulcahy's many allegations of negligence against her solicitors was that, having regard to her Roman Catholic faith, Mrs Boots had failed to give her the advice which was requisite in view of her firmly held belief in the sanctity of marriage…"

        dailymail.co.uk

Thrown out: Judge Lord Justice Briggs dismissed the case
Image via dailymail.co.uk

“…either in terms of the alternative of judicial separation, or about the impossibility of pursuing divorce proceedings to a clean break settlement, without thereby inevitably bringing about the final termination of her marriage, which she wished to avoid.”

        independent.co.uk

Her case was rejected by the court.

26-Year-Old Cuts Off His Penis Because It Was Of 'No Use' To Him

26-year-old Yang Hu sliced off his penis since he 'had no use for it'

Yang Hu was supposedly so depressed by his lacking love life that in a moment of desperation, he cut off his penis.

        dailystar.co.uk

Shortly after his amateur amputation, the 26-year-old had second thoughts and quickly got to a hospital in hopes of getting his sex organ reattached. Actually "quickly" is the wrong word since he went to the hospital by riding his bicycle.

        huffingtonpost.com

To make matters worse -- rather than prep him for immediate surgery, doctors told him to get on his bike again and go home because he FORGOT to bring it with him.

        dailymail.co.uk

Yang Hu cycled to hospital after severing his own penis

When Yang Hu eventually arrived back at the hospital with the severed member, doctors told him that it had been without blood for too long, and it was impossible to reattach it.

        ibtimes.com

Hu’s friends say he became depressed after moving to Jiaxing and working long hours

Yang's friends said that he had been increasingly depressed about the fact that since moving to the city he could not find a girlfriend.

        digitaljournal.com

They said that his long hours working in a clothing factory in Jiaxing, in Zhejiang province in east China, meant he he doubted he would ever have a chance to meet a woman.

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Yang's friends have criticised doctors at the hospital and have claimed had they provided him with an ambulance he might have managed to get home quicker and his penis may have been reattached.

        dailymail.co.uk

He made the decision to amputate his penis because he thought it would make him stop thinking about his non-existent love life.

[PHOTOS] Henry Cavill And His PC. That's It. That's The Story.

Back in 2020, Superman actor Henry Cavill made headlines as he attempted to build his own PC

Like many of us in the midst of the pandemic, the Superman and The Witcher star was stuck at home during the breakout COVID-19 pandemic. In an interview with GQ, the actor said that he's always been a fan of sitting in front of his computer screen and playing games, rather than going outside where paparazzi is always breathing down his neck. "At home, I get to sit playing games for ridiculous amounts of hours and escape there, because going outside has the opposite effect," said Cavill.

Cavill posted the video on his Instagram, and phew — it is a sight to behold

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill)

There are a lot of things to unpack here... he even included a 'viewer discretion is advised' disclaimer. If you know what I mean. Wink-wink.

We promised you photos, so here are photos of Henry Cavill... and his PC. That's it.

Ahhh, we're just joking. There's obviously much more to Henry Cavill than his good looks. According to his recent IG post, he has upgraded his device and replaced some parts.

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill)

Cavill mentioned in the post that his AIO cooler, which is a component in PCs that removes heat waves and keeps the device operating within regulated temperature levels, stopped working over excessive transit. Which means he must have moved around a lot with the PC in tow. The actor added on it was also due to heatwaves that had loomed over the UK recently. He replaced the cooler alongside the fans that are inserted in the PC.

How Did Kim Jong-Nam Enter Malaysia If He Used A Fake Passport?

On 13 February, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, Kim Jong-Nam, was assassinated at KLIA2

Image via AFP/Getty Images

He died after his face was splashed with a chemical substance. It is believed that two women poisoned him to death outside the immigration check-point area of Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2).

Image via Malaysia Gazette

While the police are busy with the manhunt for the killers, netizens are concerned as the authorities apparently had no idea that Kim Jong-Nam was travelling with a fake passport until his death

When news broke that a North Korean died in an attack at KLIA2, it was reported that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) identified the dead man as 'Kim Chol', who was born in Pyongyang on June 10, 1970.  Kim Chol could have died as an "unknown person" until the authorities found out his real identity - Kim Jong-Nam - much later.  The North Korean Embassy only confirmed today, 16 February, that the identity of the North Korean man who died on Monday was indeed Kim Jong-Nam.

Kim Jong-Nam had also used a fake passport in the past, but he was caught by the authorities

Image via The Sun

Back in 2001, Kim Jong-Nam had attempted to enter Japan using a fake passport to visit Tokyo Disneyland. He was travelling on a forged Dominican Republic passport using a Chinese alias, Pang Xiong, which means "fat bear". However, the Japanese authorities thwarted his scheme and he was deported under the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act before being flown to Beijing, China in a commercial plane.

Mystery surrounds how Kim Jong-Nam was killed, but this incident only leads to the bigger question here: "How did he enter Malaysia with a fake passport?"

The short answer: Diplomatic passport. A source told The Star that Kim Jong-Nam was believed to have entered Malaysia using a diplomatic passport - a valid travel document. A diplomatic passport holder could bypass the biometrics check at the immigration, the source said.According to the source, the passport with the number 8364100 carried the name of a North Korean named Kim Chol, who first entered the country on 6 February.Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has also confirmed the matter today, 16 February, that Kim Jong-Nam had indeed travelled using a North Korean passport issued under the name 'Kim Chol'. It is said that the passport was an authentic one.

Responding to the issue, Zahid has stressed that Malaysian airports are safe

Image via The Malaysian Reserve

"Our airports' safety is at the highest level. We are equipped with high definition cameras. This is a very, very isolated case," he was quoted as saying by The Star.Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has also maintained that the current security level is good."It (the death) has nothing to do with airport safety. We have very good airport safety," he told reporters on Tuesday, 14 February.

Meanwhile, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) has also insisted that Kim Jong-Nam's attack was an "isolated incident"

Image via AFP

The airport authority said that the security and safety of all local airports were taken seriously and that it is studying ways to increase security measures to ensure that such incident does not occur again.  "That was an isolated incident. We do not know how it happened yet but we are always monitoring our security systems," MAHB chairman Tan Sri Dr Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah was quoted as saying by Malay Mail Online.It was reported that MAHB has already taken steps to beef up security by deploying plainclothes police officers following Kim Jong-Nam's assassination.

Kim Jong-Nam's attack at KLIA2 is just one of the recent incidents that have made people question the level of security in Malaysian airports

The police recently arrested an Indonesian permanent resident who works as a security guard at Malaysia Airlines, for his connections to Malaysian IS militants fighting in Syria. The Indonesian, who had been staying in Malaysia for 34 years, were arrested together with an airsoft gun.  According to media reports, the guard was believed to have worked at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah airport in Kuantan, Pahang since 2015 and before that, at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) for 11 years.

What's alarming is that the suspect had easy access to many things related to airport security due to his position

Image via Bernama

"The suspect’s scope of duties … for the airline’s safety operations was anti-pilferage, anti-sabotage, anti-hijacking," counter-terrorism deputy commissioner Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay told Channel NewsAsia.  "He had full access to ... Malaysia Airlines aircraft, including the cockpit, to carry out inspections," Ayob added. It was revealed that the guard was also responsible for sealing and locking up aircraft parked overnight at the airport until they took off the next day.According to counter-terrorism expert Associate Professor Kumar Ramakrishna, who heads policy at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, called the incident a "classic case of an insider threat". Commenting on the issue, he also said that airport security may be compromised by radicalised "insiders working within the system".

Did Dr. Wan Azizah Break The Rules When She Ate Nasi Lemak On The KTM Train?

Who would've thought that a couple of photos of PKR President Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail eating nasi lemak on-the-go would've gone viral? Well, that's exactly what happened.

Image via Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail's Facebook

The photos, which were posted on Facebook yesterday (12 August), generated quite a heated discussion between Dr. Wan Azizah's supporters and adversaries on whether or not Dr. Wan Azizah has broken public transport rules

Image via Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail's Facebook

Many were quick to point out that it is against the rules to eat or drink on public transport such as the LRT, MRT, Monorail, and KTM Komuter, where Dr. Wan Azizah is believed to be on

Pro-government FB page 'Friends of BN - Barisan Nasional' created a graphic questioning Dr. Wan Azizah's adequacy as a prime role model for the people

A certain Dato' Melvin Loh even went as far as to take pictures of himself holding up a piece of paper saying "STOP NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED" and a packet of nasi lemak next to some prohibition signs at an unspecified LRT station to demand an explanation

Image via Dato' Melvin Loh's Facebook

Turns out, Dr. Wan Azizah was taking the Electric Train Service (ETS) from KL Sentral to Ipoh...

... Where eating is actually allowed. Dr. Wan Azizah was on a KTM Komuter because the ETS is currently using KTM trains in addition to a limited number of ETS trains, as new sets have yet to be approved for operation

Facebook user King Jason pointed out that there is even a cafeteria in every ETS train that sells nasi lemak, amongst other food items
