"Jika Nampak Ayah Saya, Tlg Ambil Gambar Dia" - Gelagat Ayah Selfie Di London Mencuit Hati

Bila bercuti ke luar negara, memang tak sah tak ada gambar seorang diri di sebalik bangunan-bangunan cantik di negara yang dikunjungi, betul tak?

Lebih-lebih lagi jika anda berkunjung ke London iaitu kawasan metropolitan terbesar di United Kingdom. Pastinya anda ingin mengambil ribuan keping gambar untuk dijadikan kenangan selepas pulang ke Malaysia.Mana tidaknya, bukan selalu anda dapat berkunjung ke London, setahun sekali pun belum tentu dapat. Dengan cuti yang tak menentu, bajet yang suam-suam, keadaan cuaca yang perlu dititikberatkan dan banyak lagi.

Cantik sangat Kota London ini bukan? ;)

Kalau travel, paling seronok jika bawa teman. Janganlah seorang diri, nanti tak ada siapa boleh tolong tangkapkan gambar anda.
Sedih je...

Seperti perkongsian seorang pengguna Twitter iaitu Khairina Fikri yang telah mendapat perhatian netizen kerana dia memberitahu bahawa ayahnya yang kini berada di London terpaksa 'selfie' seorang diri kerana tiada siapa yang bantu untuk tangkapkan gambarnya.Perkongsian penuh di bawah:

[PHOTOS] These Boyfriends Are The Real MVPs Of The Internet

Behind every woman’s perfect and "inspirational" Instagram shot is an often reluctant photographer boyfriend

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

Chances are, you know one, you've seen one in action, or you are one (don't be in denial).

Guys, we know how difficult it is to take the perfect Instagram photo for your lady

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

It takes a LOT of posing and reposing to look flawlessly carefree and "candid."

But your efforts have not been in vain. A new Facebook and Instagram account called 'Boyfriends of Instagram' is seeking to give you the photo credits you deserve. Go ahead, give yourselves a pat on the back.

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

"Babe, can we please take that #FollowMeTo photo again? Please?"

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

The social media pages share daily photos of boyfriends and husbands in different locations, taking pictures apparently at the request of their other halves and sometimes, their group of friends.

Not all heroes wear capes, they just carry a smartphone and take photos of their girlfriends at the edge of a swimming pool overlooking an ocean

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

"Please make it as candid as possible. I don't know how, you figure it out."

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

"What...?"

Honestly, who's going to know if she went for a run if you didn't take a photo of her running?

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

Or yoga for that matter?

Image via Boyfriends Of Instagram

"Babe, it took me 10 tries to get this pose right. You only have ONE chance to get this shot right."

Well done, boys. Hopefully, you'll make it to your next stop - Husbands Of Instagram.

Pihak polis kemudian segera mencari pembantu rumah berkenaan di sekitar kawasan rumah majikannya itu. Akhirnya, beliau ditemui sedang bersembunyi di satu tempat persembunyian dan ditangkap.

Selepas ditangkap, majikan memaksa wanita tersebut meminum kopi seluar dalam dan darah haid yang telah disediakan itu sehingga habis

Majikan berkenaan juga sempat merakam video di bawah:

Malaysian Childhood Friends Sell Quality & Eco-Friendly Activewear With Inclusive Sizes

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

It's not the easiest to find local activewear that are comfortable, of high quality, and are size inclusive.
But Nadira and Hui Yi have achieved exactly that.

The two childhood friends came up with a brand that makes eco-friendly women sportswear with sizes XS right up until XXL, with the latter fitting women who wear US size 22. Having met as kids when they were part of the Selangor state swimming team, the duo formed a close bond throughout the years, which eventually led them to launch Āina Collective together.

Image via Āina Collective

Specialising in sustainable activewear, Āina Collective currently sells bottoms, sports bras, and tops that are sturdy, comfortable, and durable

Their sports bras and tops come with either light, medium, or high support, which are great for different activities and all body types.Their future plan is to produce socks and shirts, as well as activewear for men, as they shared that many of their customers have been requesting for it.

Image via Āina Collective

As a full-time personal trainer and fitness instructor, Nadira explained that she's usually dressed in sports attire or 'athleisure'. During her university years in Copenhagen and Bristol in 2016, she became more conscious of the environment and decided to swap to a plant-based diet."Fast forward to 2020, having conversations with Hui Yi over lunch, I complained a lot about not having any activewear to buy here in Malaysia, or in Asia for that matter, that was kinder to the planet. I used to spend hundreds of ringgit on shipping to get conscious brands abroad to Malaysia. So we figured, why not make our own?" she told SAYS.

Image via @a_collectiveclub (Instagram)

Image via Āina Collective

The brand's heart is to be sustainable first and foremost, from the clothing tags that can grow into plants to the recycled materials used to sew the garments

The fabrics are made of 77% recycled nylon and 23% elastane, sourced from post-consumer waste, such as plastic bottles and ghost nets.

Plant seeds are embedded in their biodegradable eco-paper tags.
Image via Āina Collective

With a similar passion for sustainability and being active, Hui Yi shared that they strive to not "just be an activewear brand", but to get people together with the same values for the environment, health and wellness, and fair working conditions.They do this by ensuring that their manufacturers in Indonesia are paid above minimum wage, with air-conditioned facilities, and provided with employee benefits, such as medical insurance for their spouse and children.

Image via @a_collectiveclub (Instagram)

Image via @a_collectiveclub (Instagram)

Their bestsellers are The Zip-up Top and The Bandeau Bra, however, many of their customers also request for their pocketed leggings that were only recently launched

Image via @a_collectiveclub (Instagram)

They are an online shop, although you can purchase some of the items at Clubaloha in Plaza Damas, and occasionally at bazaars and pop-ups."The limit really does not exist for Āina Collective. We will go into any possible product line there is, IF it doesn't compromise our ethos and values all while giving back to the community," Hui Yi added.As they continue to grow and evolve, they hope to include more sizes in the future.

A tuition centre in Singapore has come up with an "era-defining" concept to motivate its students to do better in exams by giving away a pair of tickets for the upcoming Taylor Swift The Eras Tour

The tuition centre, Economics at Tuitiongenius (ETG Economics), posted an eight-second video on its TikTok account yesterday, 5 July. It has since garnered over 15,000 views.In the video, ETG Economics announced that it has secured tickets to the concert, adding that it will be giving the tickets for free to students who top its economics test.

In the comments section of the post, ETG Economics pushed for people to sign up for its classes."Can I be a temporary student just for a ticket?" asked one, to which, it replied, "If you can top our economics test."Meanwhile, when another user asked how they can join the giveaway, ETG Economics shared a link to register for its classes, simply replying with, "tuitiongenius.com/register :)"

#ForeverAlone? Here Are 30 Things You Can Do In KL!

30. Start your morning with a table full of dim sum

The Ming Room third floor, Bangsar Shopping Centre (03 2284 8822). Mon-Sat, 11am -3pm, 6-11pm; Sun, 10am-3pm, 6-11pm. Restoran Tuck Cheong Jalan Kancil, Pudu. Daily, 6am until food runs out.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Who says one can't indulge in dim sum all alone? For the true roadside experience, pull apart fluffy char siew bao by the curb at Restoran Tuck Cheong. Can't live without A/C? Head to The Ming Room instead!

        timeoutkl.com

29. Pick ikan bakar off the grill at Kedai Kat Jat

Kedai Kak Jat Lorong Bellamy, Bukit Petaling, KL. Mon-Sat, 11am-3pm, 7-11pm.
Image via timeoutkl.com

On a hill behind our old Istana Negara sits a stretch of ikan bakar stalls, but it's Kedai Kat Jat (more commonly referred to as Gerai No. 3) that stands out. The lone man at the grill may be the silent type but his perfectly cooked, banana leaf-wrapped seafood does all the talking.

        timeoutkl.com

28. Keep the wok busy at dai chow Soo Kee

Kedai Makanan Soo Kee 14 Jalan Medan Imbi, Imbi (03 2148 1324). Tue-Sun, 5.30pm-1am.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Soo Kee is a longstanding KL institution (and his son has set up shop across the road), serving everything you could possibly make in a wok. They set the standard for beef kuay teow - the beef suspiciously tender and the whole thing crowned in a rich, eggy sauce of ginger & scallions.

        timeoutkl.com

27. Have your assam laksa fried at Restoran Well Cook Gourmet

Restoran Well Cook Gourmet 74 Jalan SS14/2, Subang Jaya (012 6811 623). Daily, 12noon-9pm, closed alternate Suns.
Image via timeoutkl.com

The fishy local dish takes an unusual route at Restoran Well Cook Gourmet. Penangite owner Chin Gok Ton fries thick laksa noodles with a spice paste of blue ginger, belacan and chilli, complete with onion and pineapple garnishing.

        timeoutkl.com

26. Drink (frosty) beer the old fashioned way at Page 2

Page 2 49-B, Level G1, Publika, KL (03 6205 5318).
Restoran 2008 Block C, Jalan 2/101c, Cheras Business Centre.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Here's how it works: Heineken beer bottles are kept at an extremely low temperature & then poured into a frozen mug. As the beer cools, the texture of the drink changes & forms ice flakes. Fun fact: frosty beers were once only found in Chinese kopitiams in Ipoh, where they called it 'snow beer'.

        timeoutkl.com

25. Bite into caramelised barbecued pork at Meng Kee

Meng Kee Jalan Alor (next to Nova Hotel), Bukit Bintang, KL. Mon-Sat, 11.30am-2pm.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Sweeten things up in your forever alone life by biting into honey-glazed char siew at Meng Kee (the stall sign is misspelled Ming Kee, so don't disregard it too quickly). The pork here is alarmingly sweet and yields a crunchy exterior.

        timeoutkl.com

24. Be spoilt for choice at Ah Sou Chap Fan

Ah Sou Chap Fan First floor, Wisma Central, Jalan Ampang, KL. Daily, 11am -2pm.
For more cheap lunches, here's a list of the top 10 chap fan in KL.
Image via timeoutkl.com

The run-down Wisma Central's Ah Sou Chap Fan puts many other economy rice vendors to shame with its spread of 30-odd Chinese favourites and low prices (a meal usually runs under RM8).

        timeoutkl.com

23. Buy a keris at Central Market for self defence

Central Market Second floor, 10 Jalan Hang Kasturi, KL (03 2031 0339). Daily, 10.30am-10.30pm.
Image via timeoutkl.com

This former wet market is filled with shops that sell almost anything from ornaments and jewellery to traditional clothing and souvenir T-shirts.

        timeoutkl.com

22. Navigate the back alleys of Petaling Street for an old school roadside haircut

Petaling Street barber Off Jalan Sultan, opposite Chatime.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Armed with just a mirror, 2 antique barber chairs & a fiery temper, this elderly barber offers haircuts (RM10) & straight razor shaves for patrons looking for a truly unique experience.

        timeoutkl.com

21. Take it to the dance floor with international DJs at Zouk

Zouk 113 Jalan Ampang, KL (03 2171 1997).
Image via timeoutkl.com

KL's only superclub, the hugely popular Zouk is divided into six sections with dedicated genres and acts in one boulder-shaped spaceship. Noted international DJs have graced Zouk's decks alongside residents Shazz, Terrence C, Blink, Goldfish, Luqe and others.

        timeoutkl.com

20. Soak in the atmosphere of a '70s neighbourhood pub at Rennie's House of Oxtail

Rennie's House of Oxtail 119 Jalan Gasing, PJ (03 7955 2541). Mon-Sat, 5pm-12midnight.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Neighbourhood pubs are fast becoming a facet of the past but Rennie's House of Oxtail shows no sign of retreat - it's been drawing in PJ regulars for close to 4 decades now. The signature oxtail stew is a must-try & so is the devilishly spicy mutton curry!

        timeoutkl.com

19. Jet up and party at Heli Lounge Bar, KL's first club on a helipad

Heli Lounge Bar 34th floor, Menara KH, Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL (03 2110 5034).
Image via timeoutkl.com

Heli Lounge Bar, KL.
Image via fbcdn.net

Here's the kicker about Heli Lounge Bar: you can drink at their helipad from 6-9pm daily when it's closed to helicopter landings. At the moment, there aren't any safety barriers surrounding the helipad, so stay away from the sides when you're drinking. The faint-hearted might want to stay inside.

        timeoutkl.com

18. Hang with the musicians at gig central The Bee

The Bee Publika 36B, Level G2, Publika, Solaris Dutamas (03 6201 8577).
Image via timeoutkl.com

The Bee Publika has had a top-notch roster of local & international acts passing through it, with many more promised. If there's a gig, fight your way to the front of the crowd for some true musical magic. If it's an event-free night, just chill out with the hipsters & soak in the cool atmosphere.

        timeoutkl.com

17. Find the secret entrance to Tate

Tate Ground floor, The Intermark, 182 Jalan Tun Razak, KL (03 2161 2368).
Image via timeoutkl.com

Hush, don't tell anyone about this super cool speakeasy bar. We're not telling you how to locate the door, because it's all part of the fun. Rest assured the bar isn't password-protected. Once you get in, the stylish, masculine design will put you right at home. And the cocktails are outstanding.

        timeoutkl.com

16. Channel your inner hipster at the Deer Society party

The Establishment 31 Jalan Mesui, Bukit Bintang, KL.
Image via timeoutkl.com

You'll never feel alone with the lads from Deer Society, they throw the most happening indie party every Saturday at The Establishment. Their music selection runs across nu-disco, deep house, rock 'n' roll, alternative tunes to anything in between!

        timeoutkl.com

15. Stroll idly (like our bureaucratic processes) through Putrajaya's architecture

Putrajaya (03 8000 8000 / www.ppj.gov.my)
Image via timeoutkl.com

Putrajaya is green, futuristic & utopian. If you haven't been here, it'll feel like you just stepped into another country compared to the rest of Malaysia. The grid within precincts can be overly spacious & it takes ages to walk from one building to the other. Our advice? Drive.

        timeoutkl.com

14. Retrace our colonial history through the city's architecture

Retrace our colonial history through the city's architecture.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Some of KL's most beautiful buildings were designed by Arthur Hubback, the British architecture assistant to the director of public works in the 1880s. Get your camera & mobile with Wikipedia access & set a walking trail through the old railway station, Masjid Jamek & the Royal Selangor Club.

        timeoutkl.com

13. Decipher social commentary from the graffiti in KL

Walk around Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek or even the cracked walls of Jalan Sultan and you'll find honest street art that gives KL character and voice.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Spending too much time inside your own head? Why not spend some time with graffiti in KL? You'll find these in places like Klang river bank, bridge arches and derelict walls tattooed with (sometimes irreverent) images that resonate with current issues.

        timeoutkl.com

12. Try exotic satay at Sate Kajang Haji Samsuri

Sate Kajang Haji Samsuri Bangunan Dato' Nazir, Jalan Kelab, Kajang (03 8737 1853). Mon-Thu, 10.30-12.30am; Sat-Sun, 10.30-1am; Fri, 4pm-1am.
Image via timeoutkl.com

The most conspicuous of satay establishments in Kajang (KL's satay central) is Sate Kajang Haji Samsuri, a double-floored tour de force serving sticks of juicy barbecued meat. Try the rabbit, venison, chicken liver or beef tripe satay for an unorthodox experience.

        timeoutkl.com

11. Feast on Wong Ah Wah chicken wings on Jalan Alor

Who cares what you look like wolfing down wing after wing at Wong Ah Wah when you're alone? They offer the tastiest barbecued chicken wings in town & is a popular destination for Changkat party-goers.

        timeoutkl.com

Wong Ah Wah 1 Jalan Alor, KL (03 2144 2463).

10. Try authentic Nyonya kuih for tea

Outside Restoran Nam Chuan, 2 Lorong Ara Kiri 2, Lucky Garden. RM1 per piece.
To learn more about Malaysian kuih, view our gallery.
Image via timeoutkl.com

The kuih uncle at Lucky Garden only sells his goods on weekends, from 3pm 'til the last slice goes. His motorbike is laden with wobbly kuih talam, yam cake, wun zai gou (steamed rice cakes) & steamed tapioca kuih. Best part about this whole experience? You don't have to dress up

        timeoutkl.com

9. Pop by Warung Cherry under the flyover for a variety of homecooked lauk

Warung Cherry Jalan Penchala Hilir, Kampung Sungai Penchala, KL (019 344 1326). Open daily, 12noon-2am.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Feeling low? Get up and out for food under a flyover. The nasi campur spread alone is enough to get you excited; the range of chicken, beef and seafood gulai, asam pedas, ayam goreng berempah and assorted vegetable dishes are tasty and authentic, while the fish is fresh.

        timeoutkl.com

8. Pair homemade yong tau foo with signature lam min at Cosy Corner

Cosy Corner 113, Block P/F, Jalan Kaskas, Taman Cheras. Tue-Sun, 9am-3pm. RM1 per piece.
Image via timeoutkl.com

The flavourful clear soup and generous fish paste-stuffed vegetables (chilli, bitter gourd, lady's fingers and brinjal) are the main attractions at Cosy Corner. Initially established in 1969 in Pudu, the unassuming corner shop is now located below low cost flats in a quiet Cheras neighbourhood.

        timeoutkl.com

7. Lick your nasi lemak on a cone at Dielo Dolci

Cielo Dolci LG-50 Paradigm Mall.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Essentially coconut gelato coupled with chilli sprinkles, peanuts and a dusting of anchovies, this gelato bears an uncanny resemblance to the real thing, but in a creamy and savoury artisanal dessert package.

        timeoutkl.com

6. Have nasi lemak bungkus with various side dishes at Nasi Lemak CT Garden

Nasi Lemak CT Garden Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman, Kampung Baru. Daily, 6pm-4am.
Nasi Lemak Tanglin Medan Selera, Poliklinik Komuniti Tanglin, KL (03 2284 3366). Mon-Fri, 7am-12noon, 4.30- 9.30pm; Sat-Sun, 7am-12noon.
Village Park Restaurant 5 Jalan SS21/37 Damansara Utama (03 7710 7860). Mon- Sat, 7am-9.30pm; Sun, 7am-6.30pm.
Image via timeoutkl.com

It's not enough to have rendang as the only side dish with the egg, ikan bilis & sambal. At CT Garden, you'll be spoilt for choice; paru-paru, ayam kampung goreng & the most amazing sambal tempe goreng are just a few of the side dishes available here.

        timeoutkl.com

5. Hang out at a mamak joint at ungodly hours of the night

Restoran Murni Discovery 53 Jalan SS 2/75, Taman Sea, PJ. Tue-Sun, 8am-5am. Kayu Nasi Kandar Various locations. Daily, 24 hours.
Image via timeoutkl.com

Murni's is a prominent force in KL's mamak scene and is known for their wide, if peculiar, range of rotis such as Roti Hawaii, Roti Scramble and Roti Beckham. Just beware of your safety when out at that hour!

        timeoutkl.com

4. Go for a full-on pork fest at Toast & Roast

Toast & Roast 20 Jalan SS2/72, PJ (016 682 2249). Wed-Mon, 8.30am-4.30pm.

Image via timeoutkl.com

Toast & Roast does Hakka noodles best - springy egg noodles tossed in glistening lard & topped with minced pork, crunchy deep-fried fish skin & sliced spring onions. The crunch of the fish skin against the savoury slick of the noodles is a combination that has to be tried to be believed.

        timeoutkl.com

3. Get the best pisang goreng and fried snacks at this van on Jalan Batai

Mon-Sat, 10.30am onwards.
Go on a Jalan Batai food trail to try the best eats along the street.
Image via timeoutkl.com

The snacks that emerge from this wok are worth ignoring any diet for. Try the pisang goreng (sweet and juicy), the sweet potato balls (moist and flavourful) or the agar agar (perfect for beating the heat).

Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Xavier Jayakumar said on Sunday, 23 March, that water rationing is needed because of the weather, Channel NewsAsia reported. However, the minister revealed in a Free Malaysia Today report, yesterday, 24 March, that National Water Services Commission (SPAN) is monitoring the dams and will decide if water rationing is needed."At present, it's still okay, but if we find a situation where we need to do something else, then SPAN will use its prerogative to decide whether to impose water rationing or not in the affected areas," Dr Xavier said.

The six states predicted to be affected are:

			1. Negeri Sembilan, 2. Johor, 3. Perak, 4. Kedah, 5. Pahang, and 6. Kelantan.

The minister claimed that the current dry weather will affect the rivers and dam water in the country.Three dams – one in Kedah and two in Johor – currently have a water storage capacity of 50% left. Meanwhile, Bukit Kwong Dam in Kelantan has 37% left.

The extreme dry spell is expected to last until May

Several places in Kedah, Pahang, and Terengannu have been listed under the "dangerous" category due to the lack of rainfall.

[PHOTOS] Thousands Cross The JB-SG Causeway On Foot In Time For 2-Week Travel Restriction

Over 10,000 people rushed to the Johor-Singapore Causeway after PM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that Malaysia will be implementing a nationwide restricted movement order (RMO)

According to the restricted movement order which took effect at midnight on Wednesday, 18 March, all Malaysians would be banned from travelling overseas until the end of the month.This directly affects about 400,000 Malaysians who commute daily to and from Singapore for work and studies.

According to CNA, people lined up for hours at the customs and pedestrians were seen carrying luggage bags to Singapore. Many then camped out at the Singapore Woodlands Checkpoint while waiting for private transport after crossing the Causeway.

About 100,000 Malaysians working in Singapore have no living arrangements in the country.
However, Singapore Minister of Manpower Josephine Teo has assured that all Malaysian workers who choose to remain in Singapore will have a place to stay.

She added, "In the few hours that we've been (working with them), we've been able to match more than 10,000 so far in the few short hours we had, so we're confident that those affected will be able to find suitable accommodation by the end of the night."The minister was speaking at a press conference held by the multi-ministry task force on COVID-19, reported The Straits Times.

As of yesterday, 17 March, about 10,000 Malaysian workers who have chosen to stay in Singapore have been matched to temporary accommodations.

Should You Stop Eating Hot Dogs And Red Meat For Good Now?

It's official.
The World Health Organization (WHO)'s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) announced that eating processed meat can increase the risk of cancer.

Image via Business Insider

Processed meats like bacon, sausages, and hot dogs can cause colon cancer and red meat is also a likely cause of the disease, WHO experts say, in a potentially heavy blow for the global meat industry.The analysis of 800 studies from around the world by the IARC found "sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer".

We're pretty sure this news has thrown many meat lovers into a frenzy. But, don't freak out- it isn't as bad as it seems!

IARC doesn't provide much context for its new categorisation and it's causing panic all around the world.

1. What are processed meats? In summary - meat that has been altered from its natural state.

Image via Zestous

Processed meat has been modified to either extend its shelf life or change the taste and the main methods are smoking, curing, or adding salt or preservatives.Simply putting beef through a mincer does not mean the resulting mince is "processed" unless it is modified further. Processed meat includes bacon, sausages, hot dogs, salami, corned beef, beef jerky, and ham, as well as canned meat and meat-based sauces.

2. So, why do they cause cancer? A number of chemicals formed during meat processing are the main causes.

Image via IB Times

Suspected carcinogenic chemicals can form during meat processing. These include N-nitroso compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Cooking the meat at high temperatures, especially on a barbecue, can also produce these dangerous chemicals.

3. How big are the risks? Here's the deal - the link between cancer and processed meats is incredibly small.

Image via BBC

Yes, there is a link between consuming these foods and cancer, but the risk is incredibly small.The report also doesn't identify if there is a safe level of meat to eat. Mostly, the IARC findings tell us that there is an established cancer risk associated with eating processed meats, albeit a minor one. It's something that researchers have suspected for some time.

Processed meats are classified under Group 1 Carcinogens - items in this category are defined as having the potential to cause cancer, or in other words "carcinogenic to humans"

Image via Vox

Group 1 Carcinogens contain a long list of items, including things that are almost impossible to avoid - such as sun exposure, exhaust fumes, and air pollution.Even alcoholic beverages are also listed in Group 1, having been linked to head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, and more. Those who drink more than three alcoholic beverages a day significantly increase their risk of developing these conditions.

But just because something is listed as Group 1 Carcinogen doesn't mean it's potent. For example, compare the exposure of sunlight to smoking.

Group 1, the substances classified as "carcinogenic to humans", includes sunlight, cigarettes, and, now, processed meat. All this means is that, for each of these substances, there's compelling evidence that some amount of exposure can increase a person's risk of at least one type of cancer.Scientists are confident that high levels of sunlight can cause skin cancer. They're also confident that smoking can cause lung cancer. But the similarities end there. No one believes that sunlight and smoking are equally dangerous.

4. Smoking and processed meat - which one has a higher risk of causing cancer? The former, of course.

Image via The Verge

In the United States, a person's lifetime risk of colorectal cancer is about 4.5 percent. So eating a hot dog every single day would bump that lifetime risk up to 5.3 percent. Eating more processed meat would nudge those numbers up further. But the overall risk is still fairly low.Now consider cigarettes. One 1994 study of Canadians found that the lifetime risk of lung cancer for male non-smokers was about 1.3 percent. But regular smoking increased that risk to 17.2 percent. The CDC likewise estimates that smokers are 15 to 30 times more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers, depending on the situation. This is clearly a much bigger worry than having a hot dog now and then.

Image via Cancer Research UK

5. How about red meat? Does it cause cancer too? There's strong evidence that it might, but it's not conclusive.

Image via Leonardo Carvalho/Unsplash

As for red meat - which it characterised as muscle meat such as beef, veal, pork, lamb, and mutton, among others - the panel (IARC), said it was "probably" carcinogenic based on "limited evidence".Red meats got placed in Group 2A, meaning "there is strong evidence that it can cause cancer in humans, but at present it is not conclusive".

6. Will cutting down on processed meat from my diet lower the risk of cancer? It wouldn't exactly completely erase the risk, but it would help reduce it.

Image via Cancer Research UK

Even people who were to cut processed meat from their diet entirely wouldn't completely erase the risk of colorectal cancer, either. There are much more effective ways to reduce your risk of colorectal cancer.That's not to say you shouldn't try to limit your intake of these foods. Many experts have advised people to reduce — not entirely cut out — the amount of red and processed meats in their diet in light of the report.

Image via Gizmodo

It's also a good idea to substitute these meats with chicken, turkey, or fish, while adding more fibre, fruit, and vegetables.

The conclusion? It's all about a balanced diet.

Casey Dunlop, a health information officer at Cancer Research UK, advises bulking up the vegetables you eat with each meal. That way, you eat smaller portions of red and processed meats and more foods that bring positive health benefits.However, red meat is a good source of iron, so there are still some reasons to keep these foods on your dinner plate.

Speaking of red meat, did you know Kobe beef is valued at more than RM2,968 per kg?

Student Gets Schooled By Netizens After Complaining About Being Locked Out For Being Late

Not every grievance should be aired on Facebook, as a student from a polytechnic school in Singapore would soon learn that lesson the hard way

Image via Facebook / Goody Feed

In a post published on Monday, 8 January, the student claimed that a lecturer locked him and four other classmates out of the classroom because they were 15 minutes late due to a massive downpour and unusually heavy traffic that morning.

Left stranded outside the classroom, the student decided to vent his frustration on Facebook with photos of the lecturer who locked them out attached with the post

Image via Facebook

He also posted a wefie along with four other classmates who were also late for class.

Image via Facebook

The student's post spread wide enough that it was quickly picked up by a popular Singaporean portal. The issue soon went viral, sparking conflicting views among netizens.
Some thought that the lecturer was "harsh" and "immature", as the students shouldn't be faulted for the unusually heavy rain:

However, most of the comments agreed with the lecturer's actions, pointing out that she had to "set an example" and be fair to the other students who made it to class on time

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Some even chided the student for complaining on social media instead of resolving the matter internally or apologising for being late

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

The student has since removed the original post due to the backlash received, though he maintained that he and his classmates should be given the "benefit of the doubt" for being tardy due to unforeseen circumstances

Uni Student Protests That Interns Should Be Paid RM1,500 Per Month But Not Everyone Agrees

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

A 24-year-old university student, Rashifa Aljunied, recently went viral after she demanded that interns be paid the minimum wage

In a Twitter thread posted on Wednesday, 14 June, Rashifa said that she would be starting an internship soon, and attached a photo of herself with a placard that read, "Interns are not free labourers".She also stated that she would be walking around her university campus while wearing the placard to show solidarity for unpaid interns."The government increased the minimum wage to RM1,500, but this policy didn't include interns. Interns are unprotected by the employment act in Malaysia, hence the risk of exploitation by companies," she wrote in the thread.

Rashifa said that it is nearly impossible for her to live as an intern in Kuala Lumpur if she is not paid the minimum wage

The 24-year-old cited housing rent, transportation, and food as examples of basic necessities that interns must still pay for while doing their internship."I believe that interns should be paid with dignity, and treated as employees to the companies or services that they do. No more exploitation."Lack of dignified wages should be fought for. By the mahasiswa (university students), for the mahasiswa," she wrote.She also argued that students should not be required to pay university fees while doing internships because they do not use any of the university facilities."We're not going to classes or anything, so why should we pay the same amount of fees as usual semesters?" she asked.

Image via Rashifa Aljunied (Provided to SAYS)

At the time of writing, her thread has garnered over 10,500 retweets and 7.9 million views, with some netizens supporting her activism

One user commented that interns should be paid in wages rather than allowances."Many students from low economic backgrounds do part-time jobs during their studies to support themselves. But the moment they are forced to go for an internship, they can't continue the job," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

Another commented that similar to companies, most universities also do not care for students' well-being during their internship period."They don't care what you're doing during an internship, whether you have a place to live, whether you actually learn something, or if you get supervision," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

Another praised Rashifa for her courage in protesting."The Gen Zs are outspoken, and they’re not going to take any s--t thrown to them without fighting back. I love this about them. This is how we'll improve as a society, when we say 'Time's up, that's enough, it's about time,'" they wrote."And yes, companies must, and should pay their interns," they added.

Image via Twitter

Others, however, were opposed to interns being paid the minimum wage

One user commented that interns cannot be compared to full-time employees because they do not have the same responsibilities."You do not carry equal responsibility or bring equal value as an employee. You haven't even graduated," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

"I'm all against bullying interns with unnecessary workloads, but this is not the battle you should choose. Employers aren't required to have interns, but you guys need them to complete your studies," wrote another."Shift your energy to making internship not mandatory and reducing academic fees," they added.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, earlier today, 19 June, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim insisted that companies give interns an allowance to cover their travel and food expenses

However, Anwar stated that this would be left up to companies and that the government would not establish a policy on it because internships are not mandatory, reported Malay Mail."The government will not determine a clear policy because this is an internship programme that cannot be forced. And the more companies take interns, the better for our youth," he said at the launch ceremony of the Capital Market Graduate Programme (CMGP) "InvestED".

In January, an employer claimed that interns should be paying companies for training them:

A man was murdered in broad daylight in Cheras, Selangor on Monday, 2 August

The shocking episode happened in the late evening opposite an apartment building in Taman Taragon Puteri, Batu 9, Cheras and was caught on camera by onlookers.In a widely shared clip on Facebook, at least two men are seen assaulting the victim while he is being shielded by an unidentified woman. Amid her audible pleas, the attackers unsuccessfully try to pry her off, and then continue to deliver kicks to the man lying on the road.The intervention of a nearby security guard also proved fruitless, as they continue their assault unabated.

In a second accompanying clip, the assailants were seen trying to carry the victim into a pick-up truck to no avail

The men attempted to carry the victim into an orange Ford pick-up which was believed to have been used to ferry them to the scene of the crime.However, this too proved in vain, as the victim managed to repeatedly struggle free from their clutches, despite sustaining severe injuries.At this point, the driver of the truck gestures to the recording onlooker, and it is inferred that the perpetrators fled the scene shortly after, leaving the victim for dead.

Woman's Skinny Jeans Were So Tight, Doctors Had To Cut It Off Of Her

Looks like the problems you have with your favourite pair of skinny jeans go beyond just being hard to put on and even harder to take off. They could be a health hazard as well. Who knew, right?

Image via buzzfed.com

An Australian woman's jeans were so tight, it caused her to blackout and had to be hospitalised. Yikes, talk about being a fashion victim.

Image via buzzfed.com

A 35-year-old Australian woman wound up in the hospital after wearing skinny jeans while helping a family member move. As she walked home, the woman found herself struggling to lift her increasingly numb feet. She fell to the ground, and lay there for several hours before she was found and taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

        npr.org

She was helping a relative move which involved a lot of squatting. Combine the strenuous activity with her super tight jeans, it resulted in constricted blood flow to her legs, thus temporarily paralysing her.

Helping a relative move house, she spent hours squatting while emptying cupboards and noticed increasing pain in her legs. The prolonged squatting and tight jeans had cut off blood supply to the woman's legs and caused swelling and nerve damage.

        smh.com.au

“As she was squatting for a long period of time her trousers restricted the blood supply to both calves, and in response the muscles start to undergo stress and swell,” wrote Dr Kimber.

        buzzfeed.com

The woman's legs were so swollen when she was brought to the hospital that they had to cut the jeans off her. She was hospitalised for four days to treat her leg weakness and nerve damage and has since made a full recovery.

Image via tumblr.com

"If she hadn't been able to come to the hospital, the compression could have gone on longer and caused residual nerve damage," said Kimber, who is an associate professor at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia.After four days on an IV, she could walk again and was released from the hospital.

        cnn.com

Keep this woman in mind the next time you squeeze into your favourite pair of skinny jeans and plan on doing some squatting or kneeling. Remember, if your legs start feeling tingly, it ain't a good sign!

Image via toducate.com

"The wearing of 'skinny' jeans had likely potentiated the tibial neuropathies by causing a compartment syndrome as the lower leg swelled," the report concluded. Not good. The swelling of compartment syndrome can lead to permanent muscle and nerve damage, or amputation.

        npr.org

"The take home message is to avoid wearing skinny jeans if you intend to do a job with squatting or kneeling. If your legs begin to feel uncomfortable or tingle, you should stand up and get the blood circulating again," said Kimber.

So what did we learn today, everyone? Don't help anyone move.

Anda Seorang Muslim Yang Tak Sembahyang? Teruskan Membaca

Kita nak solat tapi...kita tak boleh.
Rasa liat, susah, malas, semuanya dalam satu masa.

Image via www.islamituindah.my

Mungkin kita sentiasa nak jadi seorang yang tunaikan solat. Bagi sesetengah orang, solat ini nampak begitu mudah. Mereka hanya bangun dan melakukannya, tanpa ada rasa malas. Mungkin juga dulu kita seorang yang rajin solat, tapi sekarang dah lain.Ada sesuatu yang rosak dalam diri kita. Sebenarnya, ia bukan betul-betul rosak. Cuma rasa kosong, gelap, dan hilang. Kita tak rasa apa-apa, hanya kebas, dan hambar.

Jadi, macam mana hati yang kosong nak menuju ke jalan Tuhan?

Image via www.jawaban.com

Apa yang perlu kita lakukan?Masalah paling common bila berkaitan dengan nasihat tentang solat ialah kita selalu melihatnya dari sudut pandangan reaktif, bukan proaktif."Kau tak solat? Tak apa, kau mula je dulu.""Kau tak solat? Jangan risau, cuba kau tunaikan solat dari satu masa ke satu masa. Lepastu cuba pulak penuhkan solat 5 waktu. Lama-lama nanti mesti jadi konsisten. Percayalah."Nampak macam nasihat yang baik bukan?

Tidak, cara itu salah. Kalau nasihat itu berkesan, bagus.
Tetapi macam mana pula dengan kebanyakan orang Islam lain yang masih tak jumpa jalan untuk "mula dulu"? Mungkin ada cara lain yang kita kena cuba.

Image via mujahidinkekasihallah.wordpress.com

Bagi sesetengah orang yang merasakan kekosongan dalam hati, nasihat "mula dulu" itu tidak cukup memberi motivasi kepada mereka untuk tunaikan solat. Ya, memang pun. Sebenarnya ada cara lain yang lebih berkesan.Macam mana caranya?Pertama sekali, kita perlu mengisi diri kita dengan ilmu sebelum tindakan seterusnya menyusul. Bila kita rasa seolah-olah tak ada hubungan dengan Allah, inilah masanya untuk kita kuatkan balik iman kita terhadap-Nya. Dan solat bukanlah caranya untuk permulaan.Kita solat kerana satu sebab mudah: Kita sayang Allah. Bila kita ada rasa sayang pada Allah, semuanya akan jadi lebih mudah. Bila kita ada rasa sayang pada Allah, tak ada masalah pun nak tunaikan solat walaupun letih.

Sama juga macam jigsaw puzzle, ia tak akan sempurna kalau semua kepingan tak diletakkan sekali. Bila semua kepingan berjaya dicantumkan, barulah ia sempurna.

Image via wallpoper.com

Kepingan-kepingan kecil inilah sebenarnya yang hilang daripada hati kita, dan seluruh jigsaw puzzle itu adalah solat.Jadi, sebelum solat menjadi sempurna, kepingan-kepingan kecil ini yang perlu kita isi dulu.Sebab itulah sangat sukar untuk seseorang tunaikan solat tanpa ada pengisian dalam hati. Kayakan hati dulu, baru solat boleh konsisten. Itu sebenarnya cara yang betul.

Bila kita lihat semula kepada umat Islam terdahulu masa Islam mula-mula datang, adakah solat itu ilmu pertama yang diturunkan?
Semestinya tidak.

Image via www.islamicdesktop.net

Surah-surah awal dulu penuh dengan pelajaran tentang Tuhan yakni Allah, tentang malaikat-malaikatNya, rasul-rasulNya, dan kitab-kitabNya. Kaedah-kaedah dan peraturan-peraturan lain seperti solat, puasa, zakat, Haji, dan macam-macam lagi hanya datang kemudian, selepas asas itu dibina.Kalau nak tergolong dalam kalangan orang-orang yang menunaikan solat, secara tetap, mudah, dan konsisten, dan yang segera solat bila masuk waktu, kita perlu mula pertamanya membina perasaan cinta terhadap Allah. Dan untuk melakukan ini, kita perlu kenal siapa Dia.

Persoalannya, bila kita nilai semula kehidupan kita sendiri, kenapa kita memberi tumpuan kepada kaedah-kaedah dan peraturan-peraturan tanpa memberi perhatian kepada ilmu asas yang lebih utama?

Image via biravuckul.com

Dan macam mana nak lebih kenal Allah?Pertama sekali, mulakan dengan zikir. Contohnya, ucap SubhanAllah 100 kali setiap hari. Kalau nak bagi lebih feel kenalah faham maksud setiap ayat atau perkataan yang dilafazkan. SubhanAllah bermaksud Maha Suci Allah.Sambil berzikir, nilai kelemahan diri sendiri, dan hayati kebesaran dan kekuasaan Allah. Fikirkan bagaimana hanya dengan pertolongan Allah sahaja kita dapat melakukan segalanya. Bila kita dah mulakan, zikir ini akan jadi tabiat seharian yang akan membuat kita sentiasa berfikir tentang Allah. Kita ingat pada Allah setiap hari.Dan apa yang berlaku bila kita ingat Allah?Hati kita yang mati tadi akan mula jadi lembut. Dan tanpa kita sedar, kita akan rasa lebih tenang, lebih damai, dan lebih tenteram.

Tapi yang paling penting, bila kita ingat Allah, Allah akan ingat kita

Image via www.alkhoirot.net

Ibn al-Qayyim pernah menyatakan, "Dalam hati terdapat kekerasan yang hanya boleh dilembutkan dengan mengingati Allah. Jadi si hamba perlu merawat kekerasan hatinya dengan berzikir kepada Allah.""Ketahuilah, dengan berzikir kepada Allah, hati kita akan lebih tenang." (Surah Ar-Ra'd ayat 28)Setiap hari selepas melakukan zikir, fikirkan yang kita sedang menuju dan berjalan kepada Allah. Bila kita dekat dengan Allah, Allah akan makin dekat dengan kita. Seperti hadis sahih Al-Bukhari yang berbunyi:Dari Abu Hurairah radhiyAllahu ‘anhu berkata: Nabi Muhammad (SAW) bersabda : "Allah Ta'ala berfirman : "Aku menurut sangkaan hambaKu kepadaKu, dan Aku bersamanya apabila dia ingat kepadaKu. Jika dia ingat kepadaKu dalam dirinya, maka Aku mengingatinya dalam diriKu. Jika dia ingat kepadaKu dalam kelompok, maka Aku akan mengingatinya dalam kelompok yang lebih baik daripada itu (kumpulan malaikat). Jika dia mendekat kepadaKu sejengkal, maka Aku mendekat kepadanya sehasta. Jika dia mendekat kepadaKu sehasta, maka Aku mendekat kepadanya sedepa. Jika ia datang kepadaKu dengan berjalan, maka Aku datang kepadanya dengan berlari-lari kecil". (Hadits ditakhrij oleh At Tarmizi).

Pada masa ini, kita masih belum solat tapi kita sedang semakin hampir. Terima hakikat bahawa kita tak melakukan apa yang sepatutnya (solat) tapi kita sedang ambil langkah demi langkah untuk sampai ke sana.

Pernah dengar kisah seorang lelaki yang membunuh 99 orang?Dari Abu Said al-Khudri radhiyAllahu ‘anhu berkata: Nabi Muhammad (SAW) bersabda: “Sebelum zaman kamu ini, pernah ada seorang lelaki yang telah membunuh seramai 99 orang manusia, kemudian dia bertanyakan mengenai perkara itu kepada seorang yang paling alim pada zaman itu. Selepas ditunjukkan kepadanya seorang rahib (pendeta), dia pun berjumpa rahib tersebut. Dia memberitahu: “Aku telah membunuh seramai 99 orang manusia, adakah taubatku masih diterima?” Rahib tersebut menjawab: “Tidak!” Mendengar jawapan itu, dia tidak puas hati, terus naik marah lalu membunuh rahib tersebut dan genaplah jumlah 100 orang manusia yang telah dibunuhnya. Namun niatnya ingin bertaubat tetap teguh. Tanpa putus asa dia mencari lagi orang yang paling alim pada zaman itu. Kemudian lalu ditunjukkan kepadanya seorang lagi orang alim, dia terus berjumpa orang alim tersebut dan berkata: “Aku telah membunuh seramai 100 orang manusia. Adakah taubatku masih diterima?” Orang alim tersebut menjawab: “Ya! Siapakah yang menghalang seseorang dari bertaubat?” “Sekarang, pergilah kamu ke tempat ini dan ini, kerana di sana terdapat ramai orang yang beribadah kepada Allah. Kamu beribadahlah kepada Allah bersama mereka dan jangan pulang ke tempat kamu kerana tempatmu itu adalah tempat yang teruk.” Lelaki tersebut beredar menuju ke tempat yang dinyatakan. Ketika berada di pertengahan jalan, tiba-tiba maut datang menjemputnya dan dia pun meninggal dunia. Melihat kejadian itu, menyebabkan Malaikat Rahmat dan Malaikat Azab (malaikat yang ditugaskan menyeksa) bertelingkah mengenainya. Malaikat Rahmat berkata: “Dia datang dalam keadaan sudah bertaubat dan menghadapkan hatinya secara ikhlas kepada Allah.” Manakala Malaikat Azab pula berkata: “Benar, namun dia tidak pernah melakukan kebaikan.” Lalu datanglah malaikat lain yang menjelmakan dirinya dalam bentuk manusia. Lalu dia menjadikan dirinya sebagai pemisah antara malaikat-malaikat yang berselisih tadi, iaitu dijadikan hakim pemutusnya untuk mengadili pertengkaran mereka dan untuk menetapkan mana yang betul. Malaikat itu berkata, “Kalau begitu, ukurlah jarak kamu. Jarak di antara dua tempat, dari sini ke tempat yang ditinggalkan lelaki ini, dan dari sini ke tempat ibadah yang hendak ditujunya; mana yang lebih dekat, bererti dialah yang berhak ke atas orang ini.” Kedua-dua malaikat tersebut lalu sama-sama mengukur dan setelah di ukur, ternyata mereka dapati kedudukan mayat lelaki tersebut lebih hampir dengan tempat tujuannya untuk melaksanakan taubat iaitu tempat yang dihuni oleh orang-orang soleh, bererti ia termasuk di kalangan mereka. Maka akhirnya, lelaki tersebut berhak diambil oleh Malaikat Rahmat.” (Hadis Riwayat Muttafaq Alaih)Disclaimer: Ada juga versi sahih yang lain yang tidak disebut dalam artikel ini.

Apa pengajaran yang boleh kita dapat dari kisah di atas?

Image via twitter.com

Apa yang hebat tentang kisah ini ialah, lelaki itu tidak menunjukkan banyak perubahan dari segi tindakannya. Sebelum bertaubat dia masih sempat membunuh seorang rahib yang tak bersalah.Tetapi kerana niatnya untuk bertaubat itu sungguh kuat, walaupun dia hanya berjalan ke arah perubahan, taubatnya tetap diterima. Dan itu sudah cukup bagi Allah.Ketahuilah, sifat Allah itu Maha Penyayang dan Maha Penyabar. Setiap hari Dia melihat kita menderhaka kepadaNya. Setiap hari Dia melihat kita melakukan laranganNya dan meninggalkan suruhanNya. Tetapi Allah tetap tunggu; menunggu kita untuk kembali kepadaNya. SubhanAllah.

Jadi, mulakan dengan berjalan perlahan-lahan ke arahNya. Ingat, setiap zikir yang dilafazkan itu menjadi langkah kita setiap hari menuju kepada Allah.

Image via diamondlindey.wordpress.com

Satu lagi langkah yang baik adalah untuk mula belajar Nama-Nama Allah. Bila kita kenal Dia, betul-betul kenal Dia, hati kita secara automatik akan melekat dan terpaut kepadaNya. Dari masa ke semasa, keinginan kita untuk mendapat keredhaanNya akan meningkat. Jadi kawan-kawan, inilah sebenarnya nilai yang akan memenuhkan ruang kosong dalam hati kita. Inilah yang akan buat solat kita jadi mudah. Kalau langkah-langkah ini diambil, kita tak perlu mengharungi satu perubahan besar - dari seorang tak solat kepada seorang yang solat - secara drastik.

Sumber: Confessions of a Muslim Mommaholic

Kesimpulannya, sebelum sempurna solat, kita perlu ambil masa untuk membina asas dalam hati kita, sepertimana orang Islam terdahulu lakukan. Langkah demi langkah disusun, akhirnya sampai jua ke destinasi yang dituju. Semoga bermanfaat :)

While many old school Malaysian fathers tend to be on the strict side, they often show their love in a million different ways.

From working overtime to pay the bills, to teaching us discipline and hard work, our dads push us to be the best versions of ourselves

Some of our dads work long hours, some even work outstation, just to provide for the family and give us a better opportunity. Though they may not always say much, they are often the ones who see our potential, even when we don't :')Of course, some dads are funny! The types who joke around, make us laugh, and are sooooooo embarrassing haha.No matter what kind of man your father is, there's no denying he deserves love and respect all year round.

This Father's Day, here are a few simple ways you can appreciate that special man in your life and put a smile on his face:

1. Spend time with him doing something he likes

Most of our dads like to be active and get their hands moving. Whether it's fixing something in the house, tending to the garden at home, or bringing the dog out for a walk, take time to something with your dad.Even if you're not good at it, your dad will be more than willing to help you out and show you a few tips.The best part is that during these times, when you're both working together on something, you'll be able to bond deeper and get to know each other better.

2. Have a conversation with him... a real conversation

Cozy up with a cup (or two) of hot coffee and ask your dad to share his stories. There's something really special about fathers telling tales of their past, trials and tribulations they went through in their youth, fun and crazy stories you never imagined your dad could get up to!If you're not able to be with your dad, give him a call and take the time to really talk to him.Not only will you feel closer to your dad, he'll definitely appreciate the fact that you listened and wanted to learn a little more about him.

Daim Thinks Malays Love Studying Literature Because It's "Easy To Pass"

In a recent interview with Astro Awani, former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin thinks many Malays prefer studying literature

"The Malays, now I'm speaking about the Malays, they love literature because it's easy to pass," Daim told Astro Awani in an interview aired yesterday, 1 November.He added that the Malays should instead study science-based courses to compete globally. "If we want to learn literature, it can be learnt. But to move forward, we need engineers, scientists," the Council Of Elders member said.

According to Daim, robotics and artificial intelligence are two areas Malaysia should be focusing on to be competent internationally

He cited industry players from the United States, China, Japan, and Australia to back his claim. "They (Malays) should be doing engineering and science," the former Finance Minister, who served twice under Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, told Astro Awani.

Nonetheless, Daim noted that Malaysia has many engineers

However, the former Finance Minister claimed that most of Malaysia's engineers prefer working abroad."If we have a designated area, they will all come back," Daim told Astro Awani, after proposing that Malaysia should create a technology-focused centre similar to United States' Silicon Valley.

Here's How MOH Is Handling The Influx Of Tourists As Wuhan Virus Scare Spreads In Malaysia

On Thursday, 23 January, the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) received a report about four suspected cases of the mysterious Wuhan coronavirus in Selangor and Sabah

However, laboratory tests found all four of them to be negative for the Wuhan virus.Earlier today, 24 January, the Ministry of Health (MOH) confirmed the test results, saying the patients were placed in isolation for treatment and further investigation.Although, one of the patients, who showed symptoms of Influenza A, is said to be recovering and in stable condition, Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said in a statement.

Image via Miera Zulyana/Malay Mail

As of today, 24 January, the Wuhan virus, officially named 2019-nCOV, has killed 26 people and infected more than 880 people globally

While the virus has spread outside the Chinese city of Wuhan including Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, And The United States, 98.5% of those infected cases are in China.

Image via Geospatial Information System

The World Health Organisation (WHO), meanwhile, has issued a statement, saying that the outbreak currently did not constitute a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)

According to the statement sent to SAYS, the WHO said the members of its Emergency Committee thinks it is still "too early" to declare the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).The PHEIC label is a rare one. It is defined by the WHO as an extraordinary event and has only been used for the gravest epidemics such as the H1N1 in 2009 or swine flu from 2014 to 2016.The Emergency Committee said that it is ready to be reconvened in approximately ten days' time, or earlier should WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus deem it necessary.The UN health agency did advice that all countries should be prepared for containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing and prevention of the onward spread of 2019-nCoV infection. It has also asked the countries to make full information available.
