The Home Ministry on Thursday issued a ban on the publication of Ultraman The Ultra Power, which was said to contain elements that threatened public order.

According to the statement by the Ministry, the prohibition gazette was effective from Feb 18 following Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984. The Malay-edition comic book was published by Resign Publications and printed by Network Printers.

A photo circulated on Facebook allegedly shows an extract of the publication, which contains a reference to Ultraman compared to “Allah or all the Elders of Ultra heroes.”

        thestar.com.my

Malaysia has banned an Ultraman comic book because it uses the word "Allah" to describe the Japanese action hero. The Home Ministry said in a statement Friday that the Malay-edition of "Ultraman, The Ultra Power" contained elements that can undermine public security and societal morals. It said "Ultraman is idolized by many children" and equating the lead character, Ultraman King, with Allah would especially "confuse Muslim children and damage their faith."

Trump Now Says He Will Allow US Companies To Sell Technology To Huawei

Earlier today, 29 June, US President Donald revealed that he would allow U.S. firms to sell high-tech equipment to China's Huawei

The move to scale back restrictions on the Chinese technology giant is part of an effort to restart trade talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, The Washington Post reported.Trump made the announcement during a press conference after talks with President Xi Jinping during the Group of 20 Summit in Osaka, Japan.

Image via Soya Cincau

According to Forbes, while it's not a lifting of the blanket ban placed on Huawei, the permission to buy products from American suppliers will significantly benefit the Chinese technology giant

In other words, while hardware components from companies such as Intel and Micron can know that they can continue to sell to Huawei, the ban on Huawei selling its smartphones, laptops and communications infrastructure technologies to the US has still not been changed, Forbes reported.During the press conference, Trump told reporters, "US companies can sell their equipment to Huawei… there's no great, national emergency problem."However, the issue of Huawei would be saved until the end of the trade talks, with Trump saying, "We'll have to save that to the very end, we'll have to see."

Image via Forbes

Here's what Trump said about allowing US firms to sell to Huawei

"One of the things I will allow, however, is, a lot of people are surprised we send and we sell to Huawei a tremendous amount of product that goes into the various things that they make. And I said that that’s okay, that we will keep selling that product."These are American companies… that make product and that’s very complex, by the way, and highly scientific. And in some cases we’re the ones that do it, we’re the only ones that do it. What we’ve done in Silicon Valley is incredible, actually and nobody has been able to compete with it, and I’ve agreed and pretty easily, I’ve agreed to allow them to continue to sell that product."So American companies will continue and they were having a problem, the companies were not exactly happy that they couldn’t sell because they had nothing to do with whatever it was potentially happening with respect to Huawei, so I did do that."

IT Companies In China Are Hiring Cheerleaders To Boost Job Efficiency

Programmers and tech personnel are the backbones of many companies. Without them, websites will crash and servers will break down...

Image via Giphy

Due to immense workload and long working hours, many of them don't have much time for themselves...

Image via fanpop

Ok, not too sure about the 'money' part.

... let alone any forms of social life

Image via Giphy

Of course, not ALL programmers are like that - it is after all a stereotype. But some IT companies in China are taking this rather seriously.

According to a Facebook post uploaded by Trending In China, IT companies in China are hiring cheerleaders to help create a fun and energetic working environment

This Airline Saved More Time Despite Increasing The Distance Of The Flight By Over 1000KM

In these modern times when it's getting harder by day to save time, imagine an airline saving more than 2 hours of its flight time despite taking an over 1000km longer route. It seems an unlikely scenario.

But that's exactly what Air India, India's national carrier, recently did!According to Flightradar24.com, an Air India flight, flying from New Delhi to San Francisco, adjusted the routing of its Delhi—San Francisco flight to increase the distance of the flight by over 1000 kilometres.While doing so, the airline actually saved 2 hours and 15 minutes of flying time!

Image via Flightradar24.com

But how?

A simple, single word answer to that is wind!As Flightradar24.com explains:"Prior to this week, Air India's flights between Delhi and San Francisco took a polar routing in both directions, flying north from Delhi over the North Pole and south through Canada. From 15 October onward, flight 173 is flying east from Delhi through China and over the North Pacific Ocean to take advantage of the Jet Stream, the high-altitude, fast-moving air used by other flights crossing the Pacific."

Image via Daily Pakistan

Taking advantage of the tailwind offered by the jet stream also helped the airline cut the amount of fuel it used during the flight

If you're wondering why Air India couldn't do this earlier, it's because the national carrier didn't have the permission to operate on the NOPAC and PACOTS tracks that cross the Pacific Ocean. However, Air India made the change after it received approval from India's Director General of Civil Aviation recently.


Remember, Remember, The Month Of 'Movember': What Is It? Why Does It Matter?

First things first, the word Movember, as it's widely confused with, is NOT a typo. It's a portmanteau from the Australian-English diminutive word for moustache   — mo — and November.

Image via abcnews.com

With the start of the month of November, Movember, the annual month-long moustache growing marathon, has kicked off around the globe. It's challenging men to grow moustaches. But why? What is being achieved by it? Why does Movember matter at all?

Image via Sadho

What is Movember? Tl;dr: It's meant to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and other male cancers.

Image via billabout.com

Movember began in Australia in 2003 to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancers, according to the Movember Foundation, a nonprofit that raised nearly $21 million in 2013.

        go.com

The Movember Foundation, which was started in Australia in 2003, donates the money it raises to projects and programs related to prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health issues. Mo Bros, as participants are called, agree to grow and groom a Ron Swanson-worthy ‘stache and “use the power of the moustache to create conversations about men’s health and to raise funds” for the causes the organization supports.

        nydailynews.com

"We are all about the mustache and only the mustache," said Movember's U.S. Director Mark Hedstrom. "What we're asking them to do is participate by changing their appearance. What that fosters is a conversation." From there, Hedstrom said men can explain why they're growing a mustache and start talking about men's health. Now, it has campaigns in 21 countries, according to the organization.

        go.com

Here's what you need to know about prostate cancer:

Prostate cancer is the development of cancer in the prostate. Most prostate cancers are slow growing; however, some grow relatively fast. The cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. In the United States it is more common in the African American population than the Caucasian population.

        wikipedia.org

Globally it is the second most common cause of cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in men. In 2012 it occurred in 1.1 million men and caused 307,000 deaths. It was the most common cancer in males in 84 countries, occurring more commonly in the developed world. Rates have been increasing in the developing world.

        wikipedia.org

There's another common trend during November. It's called No-Shave November and it's slightly different than Movember.

Image via wordpress.com

No-Shave November is a different organization that encourages people to donate what they would otherwise spend on hair grooming to the American Cancer Society. Instead of being "all about the mustache" this group is a little more anything goes. Participants can grow mustaches and beards, but it also encourages women to maybe skip shaving their legs.

        go.com

“The goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free,” the website says. The guidelines for No-Shave November are not cut and dried. “We understand people have different circumstances, such as a dress codes at work, that require you to remain well groomed, therefore we do not impose any rules,” the site says.

        nydailynews.com

From its humble beginnings in an Australian bar in the year 2003, Movember has grown to a worldwide movement. Alright, but how exactly is it changing, as claimed, the face of men's health?

Barber Ryan Rich, right, shaves Adam Paul's mustache at Movember & Co. on Friday, Oct. 31, 2014 in Culver City, California
Image via mshcdn.com

According to their website, Mo Bros, as the men are called, become “walking, talking, hairy billboards for the cause sparking conversations around the often ignored issue of men’s health.” Mo Sistas are the women who support their men in their hairy endeavor and help with fundraising and raising awareness.

        philly.com

While October has become the month of the pink ribbon and of raising awareness about breast cancer, the Movember Foundation wants November to be the month of the moustache so that men’s health issues are addressed as well. Their hope is to increase understanding of health risks men face, encourage men to take action to remain healthy, and to ensure that they take proper action when they do become sick.

        philly.com

What is being achieved by it? Tl;dr: To date, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas have raised more than USD500 million in 21 countries, and helped fund more than 800 health programs.

The above chart, created by statistics portal Statista, shows the funds raised during every Movember since 2004.
Image via mshcdn.com

Globally, 969,188 men participated in the Movember Foundation’s 2013 campaign, raising $120 million. The United Kingdom was the most “moustache mad” nation last time round, raising $31.97 million. Canada came a close second with $30.91 million while Movember’s home nation, Australia, completed the top three with $23.25 million.

        forbes.com

The United States put in a valiant effort for 2013 with 219,953 participants, second only to the United Kingdom. Those “Mo-Bros” managed to raise $21.85 million overall, placing the US fourth in overall donations.

Touch ’N Go Users May Soon Be Able To Make Payments With Their Phones

Touch 'n Go Sdn Bhd (TNGSB) has received approval from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to operate and offer mobile e-wallet services in the country

Image via BNM

By using the mobile e-wallet service, Malaysians will soon be able to make cashless and cardless payments for online shopping, bills, retail purchases, as well as P2P fund transfers

Image via postimg.org

Using QR codes to utilise payments, the service will be leveraging on Ant Financial’s Alipay technology platform, the world’s leading digital financial services provider. According to Alipay's website, it currently supports over 520 million users.At present, Alipay e-wallet in Malaysia can only be used by Chinese nationals, while those with Alipay Malaysia accounts can only use it for purchases made on e-commerce site Lazada.

Touch 'n Go chief executive officer Syahrunizam Samsudin said the initiative is in support of the government's aspiration to accelerate the creation of a robust and secure digital payments ecosystem

“Today, Touch ’n Go is already the number one player in micropayments and we see this offering as an add-on as we strengthen our value proposition, moving the country and our customers further into the realm of digital payments,” he said, as quoted by New Straits Times.

With the expansion of services, Touch ’n Go expects its current users - most of whom use it for toll, transit, and parking - to quickly sign on to the new payment system

The implementation of e-wallet services will no doubt change the way Malaysians pay for goods and services. Here’s how the system works:

Google And Microsoft Come Together To Remove 100,000 Child Sex Abuse Results

Internet search results linked to child abuse and child pornography are to be blocked across the world in a stunning U-turn by Google

The modifications will prevent more than 100,000 search terms from generating results that link to images and videos associated with child sex abuse and instead trigger a warning that the associated content is illegal.

        in.com

Google has agreed to introduce changes which will prevent depraved images and videos from appearing for more than 100,000 different searches.
Image via dailymail.co.uk

In response to the alarming proliferation of photos and videos containing child pornography on the Internet, Web search giants Google and Microsoft plan to introduce measures to block the content from their search results.

        cnet.com

The restrictions, which apply to English-speaking countries, will be expanded to more than 150 languages in the next six months, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt wrote in an article for the Daily Mail on Sunday.

        dailymail.co.uk

According to Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Google has developed breakthrough technology that will allow illegal videos to be 'tagged'

"We've listened, and in the last three months put more than 200 people to work developing new, state-of-the-art technology to tackle the problem," Schmidt wrote. "We've fine-tuned Google search to prevent links to child sexual abuse material from appearing in our results."

        theguardian.com

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt
Image via zdnet.com

While no algorithm is perfect – and Google cannot prevent paedophiles adding new images to the web – these changes have cleaned up the results for over 100,000 queries that might be related to the sexual abuse of kids. As important, we will soon roll out these changes in more than 150 languages, so the impact will be truly global.

        dailymail.co.uk

Google has been working with Microsoft to identify pictures of child pornography. They will use deterrence along with detection and removal technique

As deterrence, Google is now showing warnings – from both Google and charities – at the top of our search results for more than 13,000 queries. These alerts make clear that child sexual abuse is illegal and offer advice on where to get help.

        bbc.co.uk

Google Search smartens up (Image credit: Getty Images)
Image via in.com

As detection and removal, Google says, "there's no quick technical fix when it comes to detecting child sexual abuse imagery. This is because computers can't reliably distinguish between innocent pictures of kids at bathtime and genuine abuse. So we always need to have a person review the images."

        in.com

Once that is done – and we know the pictures are illegal – each image is given a unique digital fingerprint.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via cbsistatic.com

"This enables our computers to identify those pictures whenever they appear on our systems. And Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for developing and sharing its picture detection technology.
But paedophiles are increasingly filming their crimes. So our engineers at YouTube have created a new technology to identify these videos."

        theguardian.com

"We're already testing it at Google, and in the new year we hope to make it available to other internet companies and child safety organisations."

Najib Wants His 70 Young Interns To Be "Unofficial Govt Spokesmen"

Najib wants his interns to be the unofficial government spokesmen

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has called on young Perdana fellows to become unofficial government spokesmen in disseminating information on government programmes and initiatives.

        bernama.com.my

“Use the social media to spread the good things done by the government, what is the purpose of a government policy and what is not true. Because a lot of nonsense were posted on social media and to certain extent, some people were taken in by the instigations.

        themalaymailonline.com

“We need you to disseminate the information because you know what’s going on in the government.

        abnxcess.com

"Hopefully, you can become unofficial government spokesmen to enable us to foster a more robust and effective engagement and connectivity with young people," he said when presenting 70 Perdana fellows to Cabinet ministers at Parliament House here Monday.

Perdana fellows are local and foreign graduates. The placement term ranges from six weeks to six months.

Despite The Bad Economy, Singapore's Fresh Grads Are Earning Over RM10k A Month

The entry salary for students who graduated from Singapore's universities last year has raised to a new high, according to the results of a survey

Image via Straits Times

The joint survey employment survey, by National University of Singapore (NUS), National Technological University (NTU), and Singapore Management University (SMU), found that graduates from the class of 2016 are earning a median starting pay of SGD3,360 (RM10,622), a bump from last year's SGD3,300 (RM10,432).According to The Straits Times, the survey polled 10,904 out of 13,953 fresh graduates from NTU, NUS and SMU in November last year, about six months after they completed their final examinations.

The infographic below shows the salary increase for different courses in the three universities

Image via Straits Times

Information systems and computer science graduates from NUS have the highest median gross salary out of the lot at SGD4,000 (RM12,653).At NTU, linguistics and sociology graduates received a bump of 12.2 and 12 percent increase respectively - allowing them to earn at least SGD3,300 (RM10,473) per month.Although SMU had the lowest increase out of the three, its graduates are comfortably earning between SGD3,500 (RM11,070) - SGD3,700 (RM11,702) per month.

The survey also found that nine in 10  graduates (89.7 percent) were able to secure employment within six months of finishing school

Image via The Online Citizen

The stat is pretty similar to 89.5 percent rate in 2015.Due to different academic calendars, other universities like the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) will conduct their surveys in February and March

A NTU professor backed up the results claiming that the weak and struggling economy will have little to no effect on employment

Image via Uni Variety

"Demand for our fresh graduates remained consistently high even during weak economic growth. It shows that employers appreciate NTU’s highly skilled graduates and are willing to pay them well," Professor Tan Ooi Kiang, NTU’s associate provost (undergraduate education) said as quoted by HumanResources.

On the local front, entry jobs can range from RM1,000 to RM5,000 depending on the industry, market demand and supply, the academic grades, unique skills, and experiences of the candidate

Mattresses & Pillows For Penang Flood Victims From An NGO Were Plastered With Najib's Face

The recent massive floods in Penang have been said to be one of the worst to hit the state

Image via KE Ooi/Malay Mail Online

Many individuals and organisations have since stepped in to help thousands of Penang residents who are affected by the floods

Image via Bernama via Utusan

As assets and assistance to help people affected by the flood continue to pour in, Kelab Putera 1Malaysia (KP1M) has raised public attention for being one of the biggest contributors during this time of need

Image via Penang Kini

Image via Sin Chew

Image via Harian Metro

It was reported that KP1M has been on a welfare mission since 7 November after receiving a directive from  Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to deploy aid and assistance to flood victims in Penang.KP1M has been going around to different parts in Penang to distribute supplies of essential items such as mattresses, pillows, hygiene kits, sanitary pads, and infant formulas, among others, carried by at least 60 trailer lorries. The NGO has also brought in 500 volunteers to assist in disaster relief operations.

However, contributions from KP1M turned into a controversial affair when some people started noticing that the flood relief items were branded with PM Najib's face

Image via Bernama via Straits Times

Image via Kelab Putera 1Malaysia/Facebook

Photos which have surfaced online depict flood relief aid such as mattresses and pillows delivered to flood victims came with labels that included Najib's face and the words 'Sumbangan Biro Kebajikan UMNO Malaysia' (Contributions from UMNO Welfare Bureau) or 'Bantuan Bencana Alam Subangan Kelab Putera 1Malaysia' (Disaster relief contributions from Kelab Putera 1Malaysia).This resulted in criticisms from some members of the public who questioned the necessity of having such labels on the flood relief aid, accusing the parties involved of "capitalising on the natural disaster and victims' miseries"."Pray tell us whose bright idea was it to have the prime minister's face on these much-needed pillows and mattresses? And was Najib's face or photo printed on the fabric or was it on flyers/leaflets tagged to them?"The very act of plastering a photo of the PM onto much-needed relief aid items is not only a gross insult to the government of the day but makes the number one leader of the nation look desperate and cheap," read an open letter by JD Lovrenciear, which was published on Malaysiakini.

The matter was further scrutinised when it was alleged that flood victims had to wait for three days before the aid reached them

Image via The Malaysian Insight

According to Penang executive councillor Dr Afif Bahardin, the trailers carrying the disaster relief supplies only arrived three days after the flash floods hit Penang on 4 and 5 November, as relief centres were opened to shelter thousands of evacuees. "For three days, all the flood victims at relief centres in the state slept on the bare floor, just to wait for pillows and mattresses with Najib’s face on it. I was there, I saw it for myself," he was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today (FMT).

Afif also questioned how and where did KP1M receive its funds from to make such contributions

Stressing that he is not trivialising KP1M's efforts to help the flood victims in Penang, the Seberang Jaya assemblyman from PKR said that he just "wants to know" where the NGO got its funding from."In fact, I welcome the effort to help Penangites, no matter who they are."But I'm questioning the funding to this organisation in view of Putrajaya not sending us any funds for the floods," he said during the winding-up speech at the state assembly yesterday, 14 November, as reported by Free Malaysia Today.Afif has also claimed that the federal government agency, the Welfare Department, has no funds ready to help flood victims. He questioned why is that so, especially at the end of the year "when flood disasters are to be expected".

3 Men Cheated Death After Being Shot At By A Group Of Robbers Near KLIA2

A group of armed robbers attempted to rob three men who were in a Toyota Fortuner at the Putrajaya-bound exit of the Elite Highway yesterday, 26 July

Image via The Rakyat Post

According to Kuala Langat Police Chief Supt Zailan Tasir, the three victims, aged between 51 and 58, had just sent off another friend with an undisclosed amount of money at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA 2) in Sepang. It was said that they were heading to Kuala Lumpur and passing through the KLIA toll plaza before entering the Elite Highway when they were ambushed by several men coming in two motorcycles and two cars.  Fortunately, they cheated death when the Toyota Fortuner they were in was shot at by the daring group of robbers as the vehicle they were riding in was bulletproof.This incident reportedly happened at about 9.30am.

How the incident transpired:

Image via The Rakyat Post

Zailan explained that as the victims arrived at the Putrajaya exit, their vehicle was stopped by four men on two Yamaha 125Z motorcycles, a white Toyota Camry and a grey (Proton) Wira Aeroback.It was reported that the Proton Wira Aeroback was parked by the roadside and it appeared that the car had "broken down" as there were cones erected nearby. It was also noted that two men were standing next to the car. According to the initial investigations, it is believed that Proton Wira Aeroback was parked in that manner to block the vehicle in which the victims were in before the Toyota Camry, driven by a suspect, overtook from behind."The victims saw a masked man alight from the Toyota Camry and shoot at them. (At the same time,) the two motorcycles had also come near to the victims’ vehicle on both sides before the men fired shots," he was quoted as saying by The Rakyat Post.

In the midst of the chaos, somehow the victims managed to escape

Thanks to the quick-thinking Toyota Fortuner driver, the victims managed to drive off onto the highway to save their lives. Zailan said that the driver managed to reverse the vehicle to manoeuvre out of the blockage during the ordeal. The robbers apparently did not know that the car did not have any money, and that it was bulletproof. All the victims did not sustain any injuries.

The robbers must have been ill-informed and thought that the victims went to the airport to collect the cash instead of delivering it, said the police

According to Zailan, as reported by The Star Online, the money was already on a plane to Kota Kinabalu at the time the incident took place. He added that the amount of the cash was not known to the delivery men."Investigations revealed that the suspects were unknown to the victims and that the police were now closing in on all the suspects," he said.

Last month, a man was shot at five times by two unidentified suspect but fortunately, he survived the horrific incident:

The shooting happened at about 8.15am today, 29 June.

Tolong Jangan Keliru: Lima Haiwan Ini Bukan Babi

Jika anda masih ingat lagi, semasa di sekolah rendah kita pernah belajar tentang haiwan dan kepelbagaian jenisnya

Image via anakanakita.wordpress.com

Kita belajar tentang haiwan yang dikategorikan kepada herbivor, karnivor atau omnivor. Kita juga pernah belajar jika haiwan tertentu itu termasuk dalam kumpulan mamalia, reptilia atau amfibia.

Tetapi haiwan yang boleh menyentuh sensitiviti masyarakat Malaysia sudah tentulah babi. Sebut saja babi, silap-silap boleh bikin gaduh dibuatnya.

Image via SAYS

Tetapi, adakah kamu dapat membezakan lima jenis haiwan ini dengan babi? Haiwan-haiwan ini mungkin seiras babi, tapi confirm bukan babi:

1. Tapir

Image via travelcostarica.nu

Tapir adalah haiwan yang paling menyerupai babi. Bezanya ia mempunyai hidung yang agak panjang. Walaupun dirinya seiras babi, tetapi ia adalah haiwan yang sama spesies dengan badak dan kuda.

        a-z-animals.com

2. Badak

Image via Youtube Adam Ma

Badak ada pelbagai kategori, seperti badak India, badak Sumatera, badak Jawa pun ada. Haiwan mamalia ini mempunyai bentuk seakan-akan babi tetapi bahagian mukanya sangat berlainan. Jadi memang mustahil kalau kamu terkeliru antara babi dan badak.

3. Aadvark

Image via nlfour.pbworks.com

Aadvark mempunyai fizikal muka yang sama dengan babi. Tetapi jika diperhatikan betul-betul, aadvark mempunyai rupa fizikal haiwan yang lain, seperti telinga arnab dan ekor kangaroo, padahal haiwan aadvark tiada kaitan langsung dengan haiwan-haiwan ini.

        nationalgeographic.com

4. Capybara

Image via zoo.sandiegozoo.org

Walaupun haiwan ini kelihatan seperti seekor babi yang berbulu, tetapi Capybara sebenarnya adalah dari kumpulan tikus yang besar. Capybara tiada di negara kita, tetapi ia boleh dijumpai di pertengahan dan selatan Amerika. Menariknya, haiwan ini boleh mengeluarkan pelbagai bunyi seperti menyalak, berkicau, mengiau dan bersiul. Comel!

5. Wombat

Image via thedodo.com

Wombat adalah beruang kecil berbulu seperti haiwan yang tergolong dalam keluarga Koala Bear dan berasal dari Australia. Wombat ada poket di bahagian belakang dan gigi yang sentiasa tumbuh. Wombat terpaksa mengunyah giginya supaya ia menjadi kecil untuk memudahkan ia makan.

        thedodo.com

Dalam lima haiwan yang disenaraikan di atas, wombat mempunyai nasib paling kasihan sekali

Baru-baru ini, sebuah iklan billboard bertemakan Hari Raya yang diletakkan di tengah-tengah kotaraya Kuala Lumpur terpaksa diturunkan hanya kerana ramai orang terkeliru menyangkakan wombat yang menjadi karakter dalam iklan tersebut sebagai seekor babi. Aduhai.

Nampak macam babi ke?
Image via themalaymailonline.com

Syarikat pemilik iklan tersebut, Servcorp terpaksa meminta maaf kepada masyarakat Malaysia, khasnya orang Islam kerana memaparkan iklan raya yang mengelirukan. Servcorp adalah sebuah syarikat Australia yang telah lama menggunakan Wombat sebagai maskot syarikat.

Image via worldswisestwombat.com

Mungkin kamu tak pernah dengar info ini tetapi tahukah kamu zirafah, unta, ikan paus dan rusa sebenarnya berada sekumpulan dengan babi?

Image via schleich.animobil.info

Kumpulan ini dinamakan Artiodactyla atau dalam bahasa kurang saintifiknya kumpulan haiwan even-toed ungulate

Terdapat 220 spesies dalam kumpulan ini, dan mereka terbahagi kepada 10 keluarga haiwan. Kesemua haiwan dalam kumpulan ini adalah herbivor dan mempunyai jenis even-toed ungulate, iaitu haiwan yang mempunyai bilangan jari kaki yang genap. Spesies dalam kumpulan ini hidup di habitat terbuka seperti di padang rumput dan kawasan berair.

Image via animaldiversity.org

Jadi, tak perlulah menghina babi. Bukan saja kerana ia tidak berdosa, tetapi ia juga makhluk Tuhan, sama sahaja macam haiwan-haiwan yang lain.

Army Sergeant Dishonourably Discharged After Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine

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

A sergeant in the Malaysian Army was dishonourably discharged after almost two decades of service for refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19

Sergeant Wan Ramly Wan Seman was sacked after refusing direct orders from his Commanding Officer (CO) to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, citing the exercise of his rights as a Malaysian to refuse as it was not made mandatory by the government.The news of his dismissal first broke on 23 August and will come into effect tomorrow, 26 August.Speaking to Free Malaysia Today, Wan Ramly, 39, said that this right of refusal is extended to every citizen, regardless of whether they are in the army or not. He also adds that he is deeply disappointed as he was 16 months away from qualifying for a lifetime pension for his service.He had served in the army for 19 years with a spotless disciplinary record, and had rose to the commanding rank in the Royal Malay Regiment's 24th batalliion, based in Negeri Sembilan.The father of three said his ordeal began in early July, when he first refused to be vaccinated against the orders of his CO. Wan Ramly was then subjected to multiple counselling sessions to persuade him, but to no avail, reported Berita Harian.

The Malaysian Army reasserted their stance that the vaccine is compulsory for all servicemen, citing the communal nature of their quarters and their roles as frontliners

In a press statement, the army clarified that the dishonourable discharge of Sergeant Wan Ramly is indeed true, and that they made the decision based on serious considerations of fact."As a member of the Malaysian Army, the vaccine has been made mandatory, especially before undertaking any postings or assignments. The only exception (that can be made) is to those that do not qualify," the statement read, adding, "Any servicemen who refuse the vaccine will be subjected to disciplinary actions for violating direct orders."It is believed that these qualifiers are for those with related allergies, compromised immune systems, or pregnant women, as reported by mStar.The army went on to say this decision is based on how members live communally when carrying out their duties, as well as their increased exposure to the virus, being frontliners."(If they refuse) they can spread COVID-19 onto other army members, their family members, as well as society at large."

Veteran groups are split over the decision, with one calling for Wan Ramly to be given a fair trial

According to Free Malaysia Today, the president of the National Patriots Association (Patriots), retired Brigadier-General Mohamed Arshad Raji, had said the decision by the army was rather harsh."To discharge someone... before he qualifies for the pension is a bit cruel... He is a father of three young children. There are better ways of handling a soldier who has given the best part of his youth to the nation," said Mohamed Arshad.Wan Ramly was reported to have requested to be court-martialled under army laws to defend his sacking, but it was refused outright by his CO.Another veteran group, Persatuan Veteran ATM (PVATM), however, said retired servicemen ought to trust the current leadership to make the right decisions, reported Malaysiakini."PVATM calls on our brothers to not get involved or give any negative comments regarding those who are still serving," their president Sharuddin Omar said in a statement, adding, "We believe the higher-ups in the army have made all the relevant considerations of fact from every aspect before making any decisions."They concluded by saying had Wan Ramly not been ostracised, his decision might have influenced others, which will compromise morale of the whole organisation.

“In times of uncertainty and challenges, we believe it is important for Malaysians to return to the heart of celebrations; that is, the family bonds we share,” said Head Corporate Communication TNB, Y. Bhg. Datuk Haji Baderul Sham bin Saad.“This family bond runs deeper than all of our differences. It is powerful enough to bring out the spark of good within each other, however things may change. This makes Double Trouble Deepavali an apt story for us to tell.”

The story of Double Trouble Deepavali also hints at TNB’s own journey of ‘Reimagining TNB’

The company is taking strides towards the future by finding innovative and sustainable energy solutions, while staying rooted in its rich history of energizing the nation for the past 70 years.This culture clash between tradition and modernity is often seen as an intergenerational tension. Yet, when seen from the perspective of a pair of identical twins with opposing personalities, we see how differences can bring us together in a fun and creative way, reminding us that we should always celebrate each other's uniqueness.

TNB wishes everyone a very Happy Deepavali! May you all have a wonderful time celebrating with your families.

14 Tabiat Malas Rakyat Malaysia Yang Membazirkan Wang

Tahukah anda, sikap malas juga akan mendatangkan kos keatas kesihatan kewangan anda?

Teruskan membaca artikel ini untuk mengetahui apakah sikap-sikap tersebut. Jika anda ada mengamalkannya, hentikan segera.Artikel ini adalah terbitan CompareHero.my yang disadur semula ke laman web SAYS atas kebenaran.

1. Tidak membuat simpanan secara automatik

Image via pinimg.com

Anda sudah tentu banyak kali mendengar tentang kepentingan menyimpan wang. TETAPI, adakah cara anda menyimpan wang itu betul?Jangan simpan selepas anda berbelanja. Simpan dahulu, kemudian baru belanja dan guna wang selebihnya.Anda sepatutnya memperuntukkan sebahagian daripada gaji anda untuk simpanan setiap bulan. Kemudian, baki dari simpanan itu yang  digunakan untuk perberlanjaan bulanan.Antara cara berkesan untuk memudahkan simpanan ialah dengan mengaktifkan simpanan automatik. Gunakan fungsi transaksi berulang (recurrent transaction) untuk mendepositkan simpanan anda pada tarikh yang sama setiap bulan (contohnya, hari gaji dibayar). Dengan cara ini, anda boleh fokus pada perkara lain, dan yakin simpanan anda akan dilaksanakan setiap bulan.Selain itu, pilihan akaun simpanan yang betul akan menambah nilai kepada simpanan anda. Sebelum membuka akaun simpanan, periksa dan bandingkan kadar faedah yang bakal anda terima. Sebagai panduan, pilih akaun simpanan yang memiliki kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi dari kadar inflasi semasa. Boleh rujuk senarai ini untuk mengetahui akaun simpanan terbaik di Malaysia.Tip: Peruntukkan sekurang-kurangnya 20% dari jumlah gaji anda untuk simpanan.

2. Tiada pengetahuan tentang kewangan peribadi

Image via Medical Card Malaysia

Pengurusan kewangan peribadi mungkin tidak begitu menyeronokkan dan kedengaran seperti membosankan. Tetapi, memahami konsep asas ekonomi akan membantu anda dalam membuat keputusan berkaitan dengan pilihan pelaburan, simpanan, perbelanjaan, dan sebagainya.Lebih memburukkan keadaan, hanya 36% rakyat Malaysia yang celik ilmu kewangan, hasil kaji selidik 'S&P Global Financial Literacy' ke atas 150,000 individu dari 143 negara.Anda tidak perlu mencapai tahap sehingga mampu menganalisa dan meramal pergerakan saham. Namun mempunyai asas kepada pengetahuan kewangan boleh membantu untuk menguruskan kewangan peribadi anda dengan lebih baik.Salah satu cara untuk menambah baik ilmu kewangan ialah dengan membaca. Berikut merupakan cadangan kami:1. 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' oleh Robert Kiyosaki2. 'Think and Grow Rich' oleh Napoleon Hill3. 'The Richest Man in Babylon' oleh George Samuel Clason

3. Tidak menggunakan kad kredit dengan betul

Image via sabreehussin.com

Menggunakan kad kredit dengan betul boleh membantu anda untuk mencapai penjimatan melalui rebat tunai dan diskaun khas untuk pemegang kad. Anda juga boleh menggunakan kad kredit untuk menjimatkan pembelian tiket penerbangan dengan kad kredit Air Miles. Malah, kad kredit yang menawarkan juga boleh membantu anda berjimat di mana ia boleh ditebus untuk alatan elektronik, baucar, dan banyak lagi.Tetapi, anda hendaklah berdisiplin dalam menggunakan kad kredit, dari segi penggunaan dan juga pembayaran baki tertunggak. Secara idealnya, gunakan kad kredit untuk perbelanjaan di sekitar kemampuan anda. Dari segi pembayaran bil tertunggak, pemegang kad seharusnya melangsaikan bayaran penuh dalam tempoh 20 hari bebas faedah, bukannya hanya membuat bayaran minimum.Selain itu, gunakanlah kad kredit yang sesuai dengan perbelanjaan anda. Contohnya, jika anda selalu membeli-belah, pilih kad kredit dengan rebat tunai. Bagi mereka yang selalu menggunakan penerbangan, kad Air Miles lebih sesuai. Untuk yang inginkan kad kredit asas pula, pilih kad kredit yang tiada yuran tahunan. Penggunaan kad kredit akan membantu untuk menjimatkan perbelanjaan, di mana ianya bakal membantu anda untuk membuat perbelanjaan dengan nilai yang besar, bukannya semakin membebankan anda dengan hutang.Tip: Jangan anggap kad kredit sebagai wang tambahan, lantas gunakannya dengan berhemah.

4. Tidak merekodkan perbelanjaan

Image via World Around White Admiral

Salah satu ciri individu yang celik kewangan ialah bukan sahaja dari segi berbelanja, bahkan juga cara merekodkan perbelanjaan.Seperti mana yang dinasihatkan oleh Peter Drucker, “Apa yang direkod, mudah diurus”. Merekodkan perbelanjaan akan membantu anda untuk menganalisis perbelanjaan-perbelanjaan yang melebihi anggaran, dan apa yang boleh dipotong.Sudah tentulah agak sukar untuk merekodkan perbelanjaan setiap hari. Gunakan aplikasi-aplikasi seperti Level Money atau Spendee untuk membantu anda. Merekodkan perbelanjaan juga akan memupuk sikap untuk berjimat cermat, dan mengelakkan perbelanjaan melulu, terutamanya setelah melihat kesannya ke atas bajet anda.

5. Tidak membawa bekal makan

Image via mylovelyfamily-ana.blogspot.com

Mungkin jumlah yang dijimatkan kecil sahaja, tetapi cuba lihat dari perspektif yang lebih menyeluruh. Secara puratanya, perbelanjaan makan tengah hari ialah sekitar RM7 – RM10 sehari, mungkin tanpa minuman. Didarabkan dengan 20 hari bekerja (jika anda bekerja 5 hari seminggu), jumlah minimanya ialah RM200 sebulan. Tetapi, jika anda membeli bahan-bahan basah dan membawa bekal ke tempat kerja, perbelanjaan makan tengah hari anda mungkin hanya RM100 sebulan.  Penjimatan RM100 amat signifikan dalam keadaan ekonomi semasa ini.Sebagai permulaan, anda boleh sediakan bekal untuk setengah bulan pertama, dan beli makan tengah hari untuk hari-hari yang lain. Tidak ada peraturan yang khusus, maka sediakan jadual yang sesuai dengan selera anda, supaya anda tidak bosan dengan bekal yang anda bawa.

6. Tidak menabung untuk hiburan

Image via wanderlust dj

Aktiviti simpanan secara terus-menerus tanpa sebarang "rehat" akan membuatkan anda bosan. Tetapi, hiburan yang melampau akan merosakkan bajet anda.Untuk tujuan ini, apa kata anda sediakan satu tabung yang khusus untuk tujuan hiburan, ataupun sebagai ganjaran sekiranya anda mencapai sasaran simpanan. Jika anda ingin berhibur, gunakan wang dari tabung ini. Penyediaan tabung ini juga akan memudahkan proses merekod perbelanjaan dan tidak akan mendatangkan kesan serius ke atas simpanan anda.Malah, mengapa harus berhenti dengan tabung hiburan sahaja? Sediakan tabung-tabung untuk tujuan berbeza, seperti tabung untuk melancong, membeli gajet baru, berkahwin, dan sebagainya.

7. Menangguh kerja sehingga tarikh akhir

Image via SAYS

Tabiat menangguh-nangguhkan kerja akan turut mendatangkan kesan ke atas status kewangan anda, terutamanya dalam membuat pembayaran kad kredit, pinjaman, dan juga cukai. Anda mungkin dikenakan caj bayaran lambat, dikejar oleh pemiutang, malah didenda.Contohnya, jika anda bertangguh dan melengkapkan borang LHDN sehingga tarikh akhir, anda mungkin tidak sedar akan kesilapan yang anda lakukan. Disebabkan ini, anda mungkin akan didenda. Mungkin anda tidak sengaja, kerana tergesa-gesa untuk melengkapkan borang tersebut sebelum tarikh akhir. Tetapi lakukannya berulang kali dan ianya akan menelan kos yang banyak.Tahukah anda juga, jika anda bertangguh dalam membayar cukai, dan terlepas tarikh  bayaran, anda akan dicaj tambahan 10% dari jumlah cukai yang dibayar. Selain itu, terlepas tarikh akhir dalam menyelenggara kereta juga akan mendatangkan kos tambahan, sekiranya ada kerosakan yang perlu ditanggung tanpa penyelenggaraan berkala.

8. Menyimpan barang yang tak diperlukan

Image via cbsistatic.com

Mungkin ada di antara kita yang masih lagi menyimpan barang-barang yang tidak diperlukan di rumah, tetapi tahukah anda yang perbuatan tersebut boleh mendatangkan kos kepada anda? Malah, anda juga terlepas peluang untuk mendapatkan wang tambahan.Jika sempat, ambil masa untuk periksa barang-barang yang tidak diperlukan di rumah, dari segi kualiti dan keadaannya. Jika masih boleh digunakan, jangan buang, sebaliknya jual sahaja! Ada banyak pilihan, dari car boot sale dengan sewa tapak serendah RM15, atau laman-laman web seperti Carousel dan Mudah.my. Jika anda perlukan wang segera, pilih alternatif Cash Converter yang akan membeli barangan terpakai anda pada harga yang dipersetujui. Dengan ini, ruang tempat tinggal menjadi lebih luas, dan anda boleh menjana wang tambahan!

9. Malas membuat bayaran balik hutang

Image via raikankasih.com

Jangan ambil ringan dengan bayaran hutang! Lambat laun, kadar faedah yang tinggi dan terkumpul akan menyebabkan hutang anda berlipat kali ganda.Ambil contoh kad kredit. Di Malaysia, kadar maksimumnya ialah 18% setahun. Dan jika anda lambat membuat bayaran, kadar yang lebih tinggi akan dikenakan, ditambah lagi dengan caj bayaran lambat!Jika anda rasa terbeban dengan hutang, menangguhkan bayaran bukanlah penyelesaian. Berbincanglah dengan pemiutang anda untuk menstrukturkan bayaran balik yang lebih fleksibel. Bank biasanya akan bertolak ansur demi menggalakkan individu membayar hutang. Ataupun, anda boleh minta bantuan dari AKPK.

10. Malas membandingkan harga barang / servis

Image via SAYS

Amat mudah untuk membeli barang begitu sahaja tanpa membuat perbandingan. Tetapi, bandingkan harga akan dapat membantu anda membuat pilihan yang lebih bijak.Tentunya membuat perbandingan akan mengambil sedikit masa, tetapi kini terdapat banyak platform perbandingan yang boleh membantu. Sebagai contoh, platform percuma SmartShopper Malaysia yang mencari tempat termurah untuk anda membeli barang. Jika anda ingin mencari tawaran terbaik untuk beras, cari sahaja menggunakan aplikasi itu.Selain barangan, anda juga perlu membuat perbandingan untuk menggunakan servis-servis lain, seperti kad kredit ataupun pinjaman. Bandingkan dari segi yuran tahunan, faedah, dan kadar faedah yang ditawarkan supaya sesuai dengan anda.

11. Tidak menjaga kereta

Image via utusan.com.my

Pastikan anda servis kereta mengikut jadual yang ditetapkan. Ini bagi mengelakkan kos pembaikian yang lebih tinggi di masa akan datang. Penjagaan berkala mengikut jadual yang ditetapkan adalah untuk memastikan prestasi kereta anda terjaga, sebelum tiba waktu servis yang seterusnya. Sewaktu servis, pastikan ianya meliputi penukaran minyak enjin, penapis udara, penghawa dingin, dan palam pencucuh. Jika prestasi kereta anda terjaga, penggunaan minyak juga lebih efektif dan menjimatkan.

12. Mengabaikan skor kredit

Image via Bank Bazaar

Prestasi skor kredit juga boleh membantu menjimatkan wang. Jika ia terabai, bermakna kewangan anda mungkin ‘sakit’. Mengapa? Ini bermakna anda mengabaikan tindakan kewangan sewenang-wenangnya.Dengan skor kredit yang buruk, anda mungkin dikenakan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi, kerana institusi kewangan menganggap permohonan anda berisiko. Kadar kelulusan untuk produk kewangan juga mungkin rendah, malah ditolak! Salah satu cara untuk menambah baik skor kredit ialah dengan membuat bayaran tepat pada masanya.Ianya mengambil masa 6 bulan sebelum skor kredit anda pulih dari tindakan anda. Ketahui langkah-langkah lanjut yang boleh diambil untuk menambah baik skor kredit di sini.

13. Tidak menjaga kesihatan

Image via roketkini.com

Anda mungkin rasa membazir masa untuk membuat pemeriksaan kesihatan selalu. Namun, kesan mengabaikan pemeriksaan ini adalah lebih besar berbanding waktu yang terbazir untuk anda gunakan untuk menjalani pemeriksaan.Jangan abaikan jika anda ada rasa sakit-sakit. Jumpa doktor segera, dan mana tahu simptom tersebut merupakan tanda-tanda penyakit yang lebih kronik. Jika lambat dirawat, mungkin ianya lebih buruk, dan kos rawatan juga lebih tinggi, terutamanya jika insurans anda tidak meliputi penyakit tersebut. Rujuk disini untuk mengetahui panduan akan insurans kesihatan.

14. Tidak memeriksa penyata kad kredit

Image via amazonaws.com

Tahukah anda tentang tempoh percubaan percuma kad kredit selama sebulan? Dan tahukah anda juga, sesetengah kad kredit memerlukan anda untuk memohon pembatalan secara manual selepas tempoh tersebut tamat?Jika anda mengabaikannya, anda mungkin dikenakan caj berlebihan.Inilah juga tujuannya untuk memeriksa penyata kad kredit setiap bulan. Selain itu, ia juga boleh membantu anda untuk memeriksa kos-kos tambahan jika ada. Sesetengah bank mengenakan tempoh bebas faedah yang berbeza, dari 14 hingga 20 hari untuk membuat aduan jika ada kos yang anda ras dicaj berlebihan. Lebih dari tempoh tersebut, ianya tidak dilayan.

Education Ministry Pledges To Review And Fix The Standard 3 'Victim-Shaming' Textbook

After complaints from parents and others on social media about an infographic in a Standard 3 Physical and Health Education textbook that it perpetuates the "shaming" of sexual harassment victims, the Education Ministry says it is taking necessary actions to fix it

In page 67 of the textbook, there's an infographic on "protecting one's modesty" that many believe could be construed as encouraging "victim-blaming".The page, titled "Saving modesty," was first highlighted by a Facebook user Azrul Mohd Khalib, who tagged Hannah Yeoh and addressed Dr Maszlee Malik in his post.The lesson revolves around a fictional character of a young girl called Amira.In it, Amira's parents are said to be constantly advising her on the need to protect the modesty of her sexual parts by dressing modestly, closing the room door when changing clothes and avoiding quiet places when she is alone.Below that illustration, the page lists the consequences should Amira fail to do so.It claimed that she would be ashamed of herself and experience emotional disturbances, be shunned by her friends and bring shame to her family's honour.

The infographic features a girl respecting/ taking care of her “sexual parts” by wearing “proper” clothes, avoiding walking alone in quiet places. According to the book, the consequences if she fails to do this include tarnishing her family’s reputation. https://t.co/vclt64cHr2— Sumisha Naidu (@sumishanaidu) January 15, 2019

According to Bernama, it is published by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) and supplied to all national and national-type Tamil schools for 2019.

Yesterday, 15 January, Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching, while addressing the matter, had said a follow-up will be made

"It is not right to blame the victims. A follow-up will be done as soon as possible to fix this," she wrote in her Facebook post, accompanying a photo of the textbook page."Together, let’s educate our children the right way," Teo added in the post.

Later on Tuesday itself, the Education Ministry released a statement saying it has decided to improve the textbook's content by issuing a corrigendum in the form of a QR code that would be uploaded on 17 January to inform teachers, students, and parents

"Corrigendum in the form of a sticker will also be printed and distributed to all relevant schools, including Tamil national-type primary schools (SJKT), starting 29 January."Letters on the matter will be issued and sent to all schools to inform them about these improvements," the ministry said in a statement yesterday.
