The Immigration Dept Wants You To Report Illegal Foreign Workers Using These Hotlines

Earlier this year, the government implemented a new policy to introduce the Enforcement Card (E-Card) for illegal foreign workers in Malaysia

Employers were told to register their illegal workers under this programme as a temporary validation for the purpose of legalising the workers. The card was given out for free and the pass will expire on 15 February 2018. The window for the E-card application was opened from 15 February 2017 until 30 June 2017. Despite the ample time given, the Immigration Department revealed that only 23% of the targeted 600,000 illegal immigrants have applied for the E-Card.  Foreign workers who failed to obtain the E-Card will be detained, deported, and blacklisted. The Immigration Department will also take action against employers who fail to register their foreign workers.

The Immigration Department launched a crackdown on illegal foreign workers, immediately after the 30 June deadline

It was reported that hundreds of illegal workers were arrested across the country as enforcement officers conducted raids in a nationwide crackdown. A large number of foreign workers - even those who are legally here - fear that they would be caught in the large-scale operation and have been laying low, The Star Online reported.  Immigration director-general Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali, reportedly responded in a WhatsApp message saying, "Legal workers do not have to fear anything. Why should they?"

In another effort to nab undocumented workers, hotlines have also been set up for the public to lodge reports on illegal immigrants

The Immigration Department has published a list of telephone numbers on its Facebook page to inform public of the channels available for the use of lodging a complaint or reporting on any illegal foreign worker: 1.

Your Parents Lied When They Said Gold Doesn't Grow On Trees

Scientists in Australia have confirmed the presence of gold particles in the leaves of eucalyptus plants

The particles are much too small to be seen with the naked eye but have been detected using a type of x-ray that is especially good at picking up trace amounts of metals and minerals.

        dailymail.co.uk

The scientists found traces of gold in the leaves of Eucalyptus trees

However, gold hunters shouldn’t start felling gum trees in the hope of becoming rich. Study leader Mel Lintern told the Brisbane Times: ‘If you had 500 eucalyptus trees growing over a gold deposit, they would only have enough gold in there to make a wedding ring.’

        forbes.com

The real value of the study is that nature’s own version of gold leaf could provide mine companies with an inexpensive and environmentally friendly indicator of where to drill test sites.

        cnn.com

      Unsupported video platform

The finding provides an inexpensive, excavation-free way to narrow the search for more deposits.

Scientists have long had clues that trees and other vegetation pulled gold from the soil and transported it to their leaves, but the evidence wasn’t clear. The gold particles could have stuck to the leaves after being blown there as dust, for example.

        businessinsider.com.au

To bolster the case that the gold came from soil beneath the trees, researchers conducted a series of field studies and lab tests.

        independent.co.uk

Nature's own version of gold leaf could provide mine companies with an inexpensive and environmentally friendly indicator of where to drill test sites.

The discovery of new gold deposits worldwide has almost halved in the past decade. The quality of finds is also falling.
The study by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Western Australia showed levels of the precious metal were highest in trees growing directly over gold seams, one of which was 115 feet down.

Kuching Polytechnic Students Go Viral For Recycling Plastic Waste Into Bricks

A group of students from Kuching, Sarawak have gone viral for their innovative idea of recycling plastic bottles into bricks

Twitter user @chelompelom tweeted a photo of the group's final year project (FYP) on Monday, 5 August. "Not into the metal straw thingy, but we still wanna save the turtles... just in a different way," the tweet read.

Not into the whole metal straw thingy but we still wanna save the turtles..just in a different way.This is a brick made of 70% plastic waste made by my friends and I for our FYP.Our aim is to reduce plastic waste and turn it into smth else. pic.twitter.com/BQsY3FoV3L— massimo (@chelompelom) August 4, 2019

The tweet has since racked up over 3,700 retweets and 3,100 likes.

The team's brick is made out of 70% plastic waste, while the rest of it is made up of river sand, fine and coarse gravel, and calcium carbonate

Jerome Emmanuel, a petrochemical engineering student, told The Rakyat Post that one brick is made from 1.3kg worth of recycled plastic.The rest of Jerome's team includes Nur Syafiqah, Nur Mastiqah, Ros Amirah, and Fakhrul Azeem.

In a separate tweet, Jerome said that his team used polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for the project, as it was the easiest to clean and dry."We melt it in a kuali or a furnace in our lab's fume chamber," he explained.

Jerome stressed that the aim of the project is to "reduce plastic waste and turn it into something else"

In a reply to a curious netizen's question, Jerome shared that his team sourced for plastics from recycling centres and recycling bins around their campus."Cause, y'know, one man's trash is another man's treasure," he joked.

"Please I urge you to recycle your plastics so my friends and I can use it to maybe build small buildings using these plastic bricks," he wrote in a follow-up tweet.

[GAMBAR] Habis Jahanam 'oBike' Bila Dapat Kat Orang Malaysia. Siapa Yang Salah?

Tak fahamlah. Macam mana oBike ni boleh masuk sampai dalam longkang?

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Inilah namanya pelik bin ajaib. Basikal oBike yang disediakan cukup sifat akhirnya dicampak sahaja ke dalam longkang oleh manusia yang tidak bertanggungjawab.Sedih betul melihat keadaan basikal-basikal ini.

Macam mana terkejut pun kita selepas melihat gambar-gambar di atas, itulah hakikat mentaliti segelintir rakyat kita yang masih di kelas ketiga

Longkang lagi.
Image via Facebook

Pada saat ramai orang mendambakan kemudahan transportasi yang mampu permudahkan urusan untuk ke sana ke sini, ramai juga orang yang masih tidak pandai untuk menghargai.

Image via Facebook

Apabila sesuatu kemudahan sudah tersedia untuk diguna pakai oleh orang awam, pasti akan ada juga tangan-tangan yang bertindak memusnahkan kemudahan tersebut.Tak tahu apa puncanya. Tetapi apa yang pasti, perkara ini tampak seperti sudah menjadi norma dalam masyarakat kita.

Lihat saja pada gambar ini.
Macam mana oBike ni boleh tergantung atas papan tanda?

Kenapa boleh jadi sampai macam ni?
Image via Facebook

Teruk kan? Gigih sungguh siapa yang mengangkat basikal tu.Untuk makluman, oBike merupakan perkhidmatan menyewa basikal pertama di Malaysia. Ia disediakan bagi memudahkan pergerakan warga kota dari satu tempat ke satu tempat yang lain. Pengguna perlu mendaftar untuk menggunakan perkhidmatan oBike melalui aplikasi khas dan bayaran juga dikenakan bagi setiap perjalanan.

Perkhidmatan oBike ternyata dapat memberi manfaat besar kepada orang ramai yang tidak mempunyai sebarang kenderaan untuk bergerak

Bukan setakat warga kota, oBike juga memberi kemudahan kepada para pelajar universiti untuk bergerak di sekitar kampus. Maklumlah, saiz universiti terlalu besar. Pelajar pastinya tidak akan mampu untuk berjalan ke sana ke mari.Namun apabila kemudahan oBike telah tersedia, ini pula yang terjadi:

Lihat lagi gambar-gambar di bawah:

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Ramai netizen meluahkan rasa sedih dan malu melihatkan pada kerosakan oBike yang mereka anggap tidak sepatutnya terjadi

Image via Facebook

Walaupun begitu, ada juga yang memilih untuk menuding jari kepada pendatang atau warga asing

Image via Facebook

Tetapi, bukankah kita semua manusia?

Jadi, bila nak berubah?

"Macam Ada Yang Belum Beli" - Ini 7 Barang 'Extra' Untuk Keperluan Pelajar Di Asrama

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Mulai 1 Mac 2022, semua pelajar IPT sudah dibenarkan untuk kembali ke kampus. Ekoran itu, semua pelajar dikehendaki pulang ke asrama.

Apabila pihak universiti sudah membenarkan pelajar hadir ke kelas secara bersemuka, maka para pelajar juga perlu bersiap sedia untuk pulang ke asrama.Semua pelajar pasti akan ada checklist untuk keperluan asas ke asrama. Tetapi kadang-kala bila dah sampai sahaja di asrama, pastinya akan ada beberapa barang yang terlupa untuk dibawa.Jom tengok barangan extra untuk dibawa ke asrama selain daripada keperluan asas:

Image via Tenor

1. Storage Box

Image via Shopee

Storage Box ini sebenarnya penting juga apabila di asrama. Hal ini kerana, ruang di dalam locker asrama tidak begitu besar. Oleh itu, jika menggunakan storage box ini, ia boleh menjimatkan ruang sekali gus ruang di dalam locker juga nampak kemas dan teratur.

2. Pewangi Bilik

Image via Glade

Bagi sesiapa yang di rumah sudah biasa dengan bauan wangi, pewangi bilik ini amat penting untuk bilik di asrama. Pewangi ini bukan sahaja boleh diletak di dalam bilik, tetapi boleh juga letak di dalam locker. Namun, anda perlu minta kebenaran housemate juga ya sebab ada sesetengah orang tidak tahan dengan bau wangi yang terlalu kuat.

3. Ice Thermos Tumbler

Image via Shopee

Semua orang tahu kemudahan peti ais tidak disediakan di asrama. Jadi, sukar untuk anda jika tiba-tiba teringin untuk minuman sejuk. Oleh itu, anda perlu ada ice thermos tumbler kerana ais dapat bertahan lama jika menggunakan tumbler yang dikhaskan untuk ais sahaja.

4. Water Pump Dispenser

Image via Shopee

Apabila sebut tentang air minuman, mesti anda akan rasa susah untuk mengangkat air yang bersaiz 5 liter. Tapi kalau mahu beli air minuman yang bersaiz kecil, rasa macam membazir pula bukan? Water pump dispenser ini dapat memudahkan kerana anda tidak perlu angkat dan hanya tekan sahaja.

5. USB Folding Fan

Image via Shopee

Semua orang tidak akan lari dengan masalah bilik panas. Bilik itu bukan tiada kipas tetapi disebabkan kepadatan bilik yang menjadi punca bilik itu bahang dan panas. Oleh itu, USB folding fan ini perlu ada di bilik anda untuk membuatkan bilik anda sentiasa sejuk.

6. Cutlery Set

Image via Shopee

Cutlery set ini mungkin sudah ada di checklist anda. Tetapi, cutlery set yang berwarna atau customized ini dapat menghindari berlakunya kecurian. Iyalah, jika sudu atau garfu anda hilang, senang untuk detect siapa si pencurinya.

7. Cushion Pillow Seat

Image via googleapis.com

Bagi anda yang sukakan keselesaan, mungkin barang ini yang anda perlu ada ketika di asrama. Hal ini kerana, kerusi di asrama tidaklah seempuk kerusi di rumah. Oleh itu, jika anda menggunakan kerusi bantal ini sebagai pelapik, ia dapat memberikan keselesaan ketika anda sedang belajar.

Sudah tahu barang 'extra' apa yang anda perlu bukan? Semoga perkongsian ini dapat memberi manfaat kepada pelajar di luar sana!

Escaped Zebra Sends South Korean Zookeepers Running In Circles & Leaves Locals Confused

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

Pedestrians walking down streets of Gwangjin district in Seoul were in for a surprise when a male zebra from the Seoul Children's Grand Park Zoo was spotted trotting around the area

On Thursday, 23 March, the three-year-old male zebra named Saero roamed the streets of Seoul for hours, sending local authorities into a frenzy to capture and return the animal back to the zoo, located east of the capital city.Local authorities say Saero escaped his enclosure after damaging a wooden deck. According to CNN, the first report of the escaped animal came to Gwangjin-gu fire station at around 3.45pm. The department then had Saero ready to be shipped back home by 6pm the same day.A video showing the zebra zipping through alleyways as local authorities and zookeepers blocked its exits has since circulated the Internet. The zebra was sedated with seven shots of muscle relaxant before being loaded onto a truck headed back to Seoul Children's Grand Park Zoo.Watch the video here:

This was not the first time animals have escaped from Seoul Children's Garden Park Zoo. In April 2005, a herd of six elephants escaped the zoo and injured one woman while charging into restaurants and a school.Thankfully, this recent incident with Saero left no injuries.

The rogue zebra already had a rebellious streak prior to his escape, following the death of both his parents

Both Saero's parents died of illness, sending the young foal into a series of rebellious behaviour. The Washington Post reported that Saero began by refusing to eat his favourite snacks, which are apples and carrots, and escalated to picking fights with kangaroos in the neighbouring enclosure.According to The Star, Saero was also described as a 'mummy's boy'.The zebra's escapade through Gwangjin district had him poking his nose in garbage bins, damaging bicycles and other public property, crossing a zebra crossing, and shocking South Koreans witnessing the incident.

Many of the eyewitnesses were stunned upon seeing a zebra casually strolling down the streets for the first time in their lives

A driver told Yonhap News that the zebra suddenly came out of an alley and hit the side of his truck, leaving him with no time to dodge.A video shared on Twitter showed the zebra weaving through traffic, and a woman can be heard in the background calling the animal handsome.An image of Saero staring straight at a food delivery rider in a narrow alleyway became one of the highlights of the whole incident, with netizens wondering what the rider must have felt during the obscure encounter.

Malaysians have had their fair share of animal encounters in the most unlikeliest of places:

First, Brenda couldn't even find her mouth, lololol. Then, she and Zaidi couldn't agree on whether they were eating macaroni or meatballs. (Plot twist: it was both, hehe!)

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Brenda: "Where's my mouth?"Zaidi: "Mmmm!"Brenda: "Huh?"Zaidi: "It's macaroni! Right?"Brenda: "Eh, huh, no, I ate meatball!"

Suresh and Wei Shen were 100% convinced that they were eating Mexican food, only to be so, so wrong. They were actually eating a Meat-Free Satay Wrap, ooooo.

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Wei Shen: "Burrito!"Suresh: "Okay, burrito. But it's a chicken burrito."Wei Shen: "Chicken burrito, yes!"

Since they previously kena con, Suresh and Wei Shen were super sus of the Ayam Masak Merah Mac And Cheese #trustissues

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Suresh: "I feel like this is a... plant-based meatball..."Wei Shen: "Okay, bro, to be honest like... it just feels like chicken or meat to me."

In a hilarious misunderstanding, Zaidi and Brenda mistook the delicious croffles they were munching on for goreng pisang, hahahahaha!

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Zaidi: "OMG, it tastes like goreng pisang!"Brenda: "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! I also think so!"Zaidi: "You know there's crispiness of the goreng pisang?"Brenda: "Wait, I use my left hand to taste the texture."Zaidi: "Huh?"

After the reveal, everyone got to try all the dishes again and properly feast on them this time, yaaay!

Image via SAYS (YouTube)

Wei Shen: "Okay lah, all are great, but because of the Malaysian flavour of the Asam Pedas Pasta, you know, I'm pretty sure everyone will go for this first."Suresh: "I think it's between this and also the Ayam Masak Merah Mac And Cheese."Zaidi: "We have chocolate, marshmallow, MILO, and also Nestum. I think this (croffle) is the best one lah, guys!"

With Shell's new deli2go offerings, it's now super easy for you to grab a quick, delicious, and filling meal, even on those days when you're super busy

[VIDEO] A Family Of Bears Risked Their Lives To Drag An Injured Cub Out Of A Busy Road

A video taken by an American woman shows a family of bears in Collier County, Florida trying to help a cub after it was hit by a car

In the tragic video, the three bears can be seen risking their lives to pull the fallen black cub out of the path of the oncoming traffic after it was hit by a car in Immokalee.The footage shows the black bear cub stumbling in the road after being hit.When it falls and eventually lies down in the street a large bear emerges from the shoulder, looking into the traffic before grabbing the injured cub by the scruff of its neck, reported Daily Mail.

Image via YouTube

While they managed to pull the cub out of danger, it later died

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), the cub was found dead near where it was hit. The FWC is investigating the incident, reported NBC2.

Image via YouTube

The woman who captured the footage said it "crushed" her to see the family of bears struggling to save one of their own

"It was heartbreaking to see that," she was quoted as saying by WINK News."It crushed me. I see myself as a momma bear. I have a baby, so a baby in the road hit [me]. Whether it's a bear or a human, it's sad. People need to be aware and drive carefully at night."

Another woman who saw the footage said it resonated with her worst fears, adding that such encounters have become more frequent

			You see a mom trying to protect her cub and she's pulling him off the road. And that's very, very, sad.

She urged for something to be done so that such incidents can be avoided in future."They should put signs for people to know and to be safe," she added.

Facebook discovered that 20,000 of its employees had access to users' passwords in the database during a routine security review in January.According to a blog post by Facebook, the issue impacted "hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite users, tens of millions of other Facebook users, and tens of thousands of Instagram users."

However, the company's ongoing investigation indicated that the information has not been accessed by external parties

Facebook added that there is also no evidence to show that the passwords were abused by employees who had access to them."We have fixed these issues and as a precaution we will be notifying everyone whose passwords we have found were stored in this way," the post read.

[PHOTOS] M'sians Build A Non-Contact COVID-19 Testing Booth To Keep Frontliners Safe

As the country continues to see a sharp increase of COVID-19 cases, a group of Malaysians decided to combine their talents to build a device to better protect our medical frontliners

In a Facebook post published on 27 March, Kenneth Lim shared the news that he and his team had donated a COVID-19 testing booth to the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala Lumpur.The device, which looks like a ticket booth or a bakery display refrigerator, is packed with crucial protective features. Lim told SAYS that it was built by taking into account advice from two UMMC medical professionals, namely Dr Tan Guo Jeng and Dr Khairul Azri Bin Sabri.

Lim told SAYS that the device took a team of nine to build in four days

Taking inspiration from the South Korean 'phone booth' COVID-19 testing station, Lim said the idea to give back to society during the Movement Control Order (MCO) came from Dr Tan, who relayed it to Lim's friend, video director Brian Lee.Lim - an architect graduate and now a full-time signage builder under his company Vortex Media - was known among his friends as a hobbyist model builder. He builds pop culture models for fun, such as swords and robots.Being fully aware of that, Lee suggested to Lim that they build a COVID-19 testing booth for Malaysia's frontliners. Together, the duo sourced for materials, and gathered information and support from various parties, such as Dr Tan and  Dr Khairul who gave expert medical advice on what a testing booth should have.

The COVID-19 testing both also comes with a microphone and speaker for the medical officers to communicate with patients.

They named the booth 'COV Shield Prototype 1, Negative Pressure Pod'

Photos and videos show that the device has a pair of built-in gloves that allow frontliners to conduct tests on suspected COVID-19 patients behind the protection of an acrylic panel. It also has a valve for the suspected COVID-19 patients to pass their biological samples to the medical officers without contact, much like a deal tray at a currency exchange counter."The hospital staff and doctors at the UMMC were excited to receive the testing booth as it helps them save time and resource on personal protective equipment (PPE)," Lim said, adding that the testing booth was a self-funded project built in Vortex Media's workshop.

The team is currently drafting the second prototype, which they aim to build in one day as it has to be easy to mass deploy

"Prototype 2 is designed in a way that the blueprint can be released to the public and have the whole nation building it together," Lim told SAYS, "Prototype 1 was a bit over-engineered, hard to deploy in a short time."Lim and Lee are also urging the public to help them get in touch with medical equipment suppliers as many of them are closed during the MCO.

Image via Kenneth Lim/Facebook

"Prototype 1 has the concept right but the ventilation system is not strong enough, as we have no access to professional equipment parts during the MCO," Lim explained. Lim said the team is looking for suppliers of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, portable air conditioners, and exhaust fans strong enough to create a laminar flow or negative/positive pressure of 2m³.

			We need professionals to provide these parts to save lives.
        Kenneth Lim

Lim added that after building the first prototype, more citizens and doctors alike have come forward to fund his project.If you wish to fund Lim's Prototype 2 project or help the team connect with medical equipment suppliers, you can reach out to him at his Facebook profile here.

Mat Sabu: I Didn't Tell A Foreign Diplomat Named John That I'll Make Roti John For Him

Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu has broken his silence on an allegation that he joked with foreign diplomat that he will cook roti John for them

In a columnist's piece published in The Star last Sunday, 16 February, the writer claimed some ministers are incompetent and that they should not be handed a Cabinet position simply because of their position in their party."Last week over lunch, a diplomat told me that a Malaysian minister met a high-level official named John from his country," wrote the columnist."Your minister said, 'Your name is John. In my country, there's roti John. If you come to my country, I can cook roti John for you,' the diplomat related."The columnist added that the exchange between the unnamed minister and the diplomat took place during a high-level security meeting.

Roti John is a popular omelette sandwich dish in Malaysia.

After the piece caught the public's attention, many placed their bets on Mohamad Sabu, as the unnamed minister as he is known for his culinary skills

In response, Mohamad Sabu's aide came out to clear the air on the issue yesterday, 17 February.Amin Iskandar confirmed with Malaysiakini that Mohamad Sabu is not the person implicated in the piece.

Joining in the rebuttal, Mohamad Sabu stated that he will sue anyone who insinuates that he is the person who cracked the joke

"This is an utter lie published in The Star," Mohamad Sabu told Free Malaysia Today from the United Kingdom yesterday."Had these people named me, I would sue them for defamation. The claim is wholly a fabrication."

Mohamad Sabu also responded to his predecessor, Hishammuddin Hussein, who had mocked him over his alleged joke

Former Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

Former Defence Minister Hishammuddin mocked Mohamad Sabu for using an African proverb to explain Malaysia's security dilemma in the past."Not long ago there was a buzz about a Pakatan Harapan minister's story on elephants fighting at an international summit," Hishammuddin said, "This time, it is about roti John. I hope the story is fake."Unfazed by Hishammuddin's jab, Mohamad Sabu advised him to worry about the suspicious contracts he made during his tenure as the Defence Minister instead, as the ministry is currently conducting a forensic audit on the case.

Mohamad Sabu, or more fondly known as Mat Sabu, used to be a cook while he was detained under the now-defunct Internal Security Act:

Remaja Malaysia Berusia 16 Tahun Ini Berjaya Membawa Dirinya Ke ‘Everest’, Seorang Diri

Baru saja berusia 16 tahun, tetapi pemuda ini sudah berjaya menjejakkan kaki ke Everest Base Camp

Setelah menonton filem berunsurkan survival yang berjudul Everest, pemuda yang dikenali dengan nama Ishan Siva Ramanathan ini telah berkongsi hasratnya kepada ibu bapa beliau untuk mendaki puncak tertinggi di dunia, Gunung Everest. Walaupun di dalam filem itu terdapat pelbagai adegan yang menunjukkan keperitan para pendaki memanjat Everest, tetapi Ishan masih tekad dengan hasratnya itu. Beliau amat kagum dengan kecantikan Gunung Everest dan juga sinematografi yang dipamerkan melalui filem berkenaan.Beliau telah berazam untuk menjejakkan kakinya ke situ yang mana beliau huraikan sebagai 'tempat terindah di muka bumi'.

Image via Star2

"Pada awalnya, kami tidak membenarkan anak kami ke sana apabila beliau menjelaskan hasratnya itu."

Sudah pasti ibu bapa akan berasa risau apabila si anak mahu mendaki gunung, inikan pula gunung tertinggi di dunia. Ibu Ishan menceritakan bahawa dia berasa agak gementar dan tidak rela untuk melepaskan anaknya ke Nepal. Namun, apabila anaknya menjelaskan perkara sebenar, ibunya mengalah dan memberikan restu dan kepercayaannya kepada Ishan.  "Hakikatnya, bukan saya yang menentukan takdirnya tetapi Tuhan. Oleh itu sebagai ibu bapa, kami akan memberikan sokongan sepenuhnya kepada anak kami," ujar ibu Ishan. Bagi mememastikan keselamatan anak mereka, bapanya telah membuat tempahan dengan ajen pelancongan yang berpengalaman dan mempunyai rekod prestasi yang baik. Bapanya juga telah berhubung dengan beberapa individu yang akan membimbing anaknya sepanjang perjalanannya di sana. "Bukan itu saja, malah sebagai bapa saya juga telah berbual dengan pemilik syarikat pelancongan beberapa kali untuk mendapatkan maklum balas terhadap perjalanan anak saya," jelas bapanya.

Image via Star2

Pada 10 Oktober 2016, Ishan telah terbang ke Nepal seorang diri bagi memenuhi hasrat beliau mendaki Gunung Everest

Sejurus tiba di lapangan terbang di Kathmandu, beliau telah bertemu dengan pengendali pelancongan dan pendaki lain, John William Strode dari Amerika Syarikat dan dua lagi lelaki iaitu Johnson Lim dari Filipina dan Andrey Garcia dari Brazil. Beliau merupakan ahli yang paling muda di dalam kumpulan tersebut."Saya tidak terlalu bimbang. Oleh kerana saya seorang yang aktif bersukan, saya tidak mudah berasa letih dan saya yakin perjalanan ini akan berjalan dengan lancar. Yang merisaukan saya hanyalah ketinggian gunung tersebut kerana saya seorang yang amat gayat, " kata Ishan.

Image via Star2

Pada 12 Oktober, mereka telah berlepas ke Lukla yang juga dikenali sebagai pintu gerbang Everest

"Pemandu kami memberitahu kami untuk menggunakan perkataan yang baik-baik saja ketika berada dalam penerbangan, ini merupakan adat rakyat Nepal disana. Kami menaiki sebuah pesawat kecil yang hanya boleh memuatkan 12 orang. Apabila pesawat ini menyusuri awan putih, saya dapat lihat kemunculan puncak Himalaya yang sungguh menawan. Pemandangan ketika itu sungguh menakjubkan, sama seperti di dalam gambar," cerita Ishan lagi.Empat pendaki ini memulakan perjalanan mereka pada hari tersebut. Walaupun perjalanan mereka agak panjang dan sejuk, tetapi pemandangan yang indah itu membuatkan mereka lupa akan rasa penat dan perjalanan itu sungguh berbaloi bagi mereka.Terdapat banyak perkara menarik yang dapat Ishan saksikan dengan matanya sendiri seperti keindahan kampung kecil disitu, bertemu dengan penduduk kampung yang peramah dan juga melihat yak gunung buat pertama kalinya.

Image via Star2

Mereka mendapat gambaran pertama Gunung Everest hanya setelah 4 hari mereka berjalan ke Base Camp. Pemandangan ketika itu sungguh menakjubkan.

Ia merupakan satu pengalaman baru yang tidak dapat dijelaskan dengan kata-kata. Perasaan mereka ketika itu amat gembira dan bersyukur kerana diberi peluang untuk menyaksikan pemandangan sebegitu rupa. Pemandangan yang disaksikan oleh mereka itu memberikan dorongan dan motivasi untuk meneruskan perjalanan hingga mereka tiba ke destinasi yang dituju."Kami melawat biara Dawa Choling Gompa iaitu sejenis ritual bagi para pendaki di sana. Biara ini mempunyai tenaga yang kuat dan dikatakan bahawa sami dari seluruh dunia telah datang untuk melawat ataupun menetap di sana," cerita Ishan tentang pengalamannya. Selepas Tengboche, perjalanan mereka menjadi lebih mencabar kerana kecuraman sepanjang laluan itu."Sehingga Tengboche, saya sedar akan persekitaran dan saya telah mengambil banyak gambar pada waktu itu. Tetapi selepas kami meneruskan perjalanan, saya mendapati agak sukar untuk saya imbangkan badan dan memberi tumpuan kepada setiap langkah yang diambil. Ketinggian altitud di situ telah mula memberi kesan kepada saya," jelas Ishan.

Akhirnya, pada 16 Oktober Ishan berjaya tiba ke Everest Base Camp

Image via Star2

Syukur. Itu adalah perkataan yang pertama terdetik di fikiran Ishan ketika dia menjejakkan kakinya ke Everest Base Camp. "Pengalaman ini sungguh berbaloi. Saya merasakan pelbagai emosi ketika waktu itu. Lega, puas, dan sungguh gembira. Saya tidak percaya saya telah melakukannya.Walaupun bukan hingga ke puncak, tetapi saya rasa sungguh bertuah dapat mengalami pengalaman sebegini. Perasaan yang dialami saya ketika itu tidak dapat dijelaskan dengan kata-kata. Ia merupakan pengembaraan yang terbaik sepanjang hidup saya," katanya dengan begitu gembira sekali.

Selain dari mengejar impiannya, pendakian ini bertujuan untuk mengutip dana

Rupa-rupanya, pendakian ini bukan hanya sekadar untuk mencapai impiannya saja, malah Ishan telah memasang hajat untuk mengumpul dana sepanjang melakukan pendakian ini. Melalui pnedakian ini, beliau telah pun berjaya mengutip dana sebanyak RM17,000. Sumbangan yang dikumpul olehnya akan disumbangkan kepada Ideas Academy iaitu pusat pembelajaran bagi kanak-kanak yang tidak mempunyai dokumen kerakyatan. Akademi ini adalah pusat di mana Ishan telah menjalani latihan industrinya di situ.


3 Simple Tips From MCMC To Help You Avoid Falling Prey To Scams

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

We all know that scams, be it online or via calls and texts, are rampant these days, but do you know just how many are out there?

According to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), they have blocked 1.9 billion scam calls from 2017 to last year. And since 2018, they've blocked a total of 581 million scam messages via SMS.

Image via The Malaysian Reserve

What these staggering numbers tell us is that it's important to be careful in our daily lives, and take care to ensure that we don't fall victim to these scams. One should pay particular attention during festive seasons, when seasonal scams like the 'house-cleaning agency' tend to pop up on social media.Additionally, people who have fallen prey to scams should call the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) at 997 to make a report, so that immediate action can be taken. Not only will this help protect someone else from falling for the same scam, it could also prevent the victim from losing money.

Here are some tips from MCMC on how to avoid falling victim to scams:

1. Know who you're dealing with

Use the SemakMule Portal to check if bank accounts or phone numbers have been used in a crime.
Image via Smartmockups (Edited by SAYS)

If you're contacted by someone, take the time to do some research into the person or organisation. Do a Google image search on any photos they've shared to see if they're stock images or try to find forums where others may have posted about them.You should also verify the person's identity and/or contact details through an independent source online or via directory search. Don't use the contact details provided in the message sent to you.Official contact details like hotline telephone numbers, emails, and direct numbers can be found on the monthly statement you receive from your financial institution. The important thing is that you initiate the communication using verified information.A nifty resource is the SemakMule Portal, which you can use to check whether specific bank accounts or phone numbers have been recently involved in a crime.Do not open suspicious texts or pop-up windows, and definitely don't click on links and attachments in emails. Just delete them.

2. Be alert and always think twice

Image via Lindsey LaMont (Unsplash)

The best practice is to always doubt everything, especially when dealing with unsolicited communications from people or businesses. Whether it's over the phone, by email, or via social media, always consider the possibility that something could be a scam. Remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.And it's not just strangers you should be careful of, as scammers may even try to trick you by posing as someone you know or by hacking into your existing contact list.For example, you may suddenly receive a message or an email from a 'friend', but it may seem unusual or out of character for them. These messages usually involve claiming to be in trouble and asking you for money, which many gladly give to help out a friend, only to later realise that they've been scammed.If this happens, you should immediately contact mutual friends or family members to find out the real situation, or even call your friend directly to determine if it's really them who messaged you.Additionally, you should regularly review your account statement to spot any unauthorised activities. Make sure you receive your monthly statement on time and review it to confirm your transactions. The earlier you identify a security breach, the higher the chances of your financial institution being able to identify and rectify it, thus minimising financial loss.

3. Don't give out personal information or agree to proxy requests

Image via regularguy.eth (Unsplash)

When dealing with unsolicited requests, beware of any request for your details or money. It's important to never provide personal information like credit card details, online account details, or copies of personal documents to anyone you don't know or trust. And of course, you should never send them money either.Do not give anyone your password over unsolicited and unverified communication channels. Your financial institution would never ask you to verify any information online. If there's a problem with your account, your financial institution will ask you to come over personally to rectify it.Also, don't agree to transfer money or goods for someone else. Scammers often use unsuspecting victims to help them in their money laundering schemes, which is a criminal offence.

Another popular scam method is via fake news, through which scammers share false reports in order to trick people into doing something

Image via Smartmockups (Edited by SAYS)

In an effort to prevent this, and also to improve the public's media literacy as a whole, MCMC created the sebenarnya.my platform. It is a one-stop centre where you can check and verify blogs and websites, as well as news items you receive through social media and messaging services. By using the portal, you'll be able to get these items verified by official channels or relevant government agencies.The portal has received 314 million visits since its launch, and on average, receives up to 4.5 million hits per month. The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has opened a total of 324 investigations, 50 of which have been prosecuted in court.So, the next time you're in doubt about something you've read online, use sebenarnya.my to verify if it's true!If it's not, you can lodge a report to PDRM's Commercial Crime Investigation Department Scam Response Centre at 03-26101559 and 03-26101599.Alternatively, you can also make a report via MCMC's website, email them at [email protected], or WhatsApp them at 016-220 6262.
