"It Won't Impress Them" — Man Urges Other Men Not To Buy Local Cars As Women Don't Like It

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

What do you think woos a girl? Is it the clothes you wear, or your personality?
According to one man, the car you drive has a huge impact on the potential one has to land a girlfriend.

A recent confession made to the popular Malaysian Facebook confessions page, Tantan Confessions Malaysia, has raised some eyebrows for reasons you wouldn't expect.On 1 October, an apparent man took to the page to express his opinions in the form of a public service announcement (PSA) for other young men who are starting out with relationships.Rooting his epiphany in 'reality', the man simply asserts that the car you drive matters when it comes to finding a girlfriend, as girls will not go out with a guy who drives just any car.

The confession posted to Tantan Confessions Malaysia's Facebook page.

"Discovering a new reality, when a girl and guy meet up, the first thing a girl will look at is the car you drive"

Painting his picture with a rather broad brush, the man begins by saying that all girls will look at a man's car if they decide to go out with him. He then relates this point to an incident tied to him."I drive a Perodua Bezza and noticed that girls I've met up with completely lose interest in me once they see what car I'm driving." Continuing on, the man explains his financial background to readers. "I have an average income of about RM6,000 per month, but I work in a line that has commission too, so sometimes I earn more than RM10,000."

After elaborating on his personal circumstance, the anonymous confessor was forthright in explaining why he got a Perodua Bezza instead of another car."It was my fault, I was too anxious when purchasing a car in the beginning, so I made the decision to buy a [Perodua] Bezza directly."Adding a word of advice to young men, the user encouraged others to learn from his 'mistake'. "If you don't want to be lonely, remember to buy a better car. You don't need to drive a BMW, Mercedes Benz, Honda, or Toyota, but even a Proton [car] is better than Perodua."Nonetheless, the man ends his confession by saying that women are not materialistic, though it is the first impression he gets when they see him driving a Bezza. "They may think if you drive a local car, that you're just a regular guy."

Since publishing the post, a slew of others flooded the comments section with their take on his views

A couple of people took a crack at his opinion, submitting their jokes for the amusement of others."Excuse me, I'm going to work in a few minutes by the MRT," said one, while another stipulated her personal take when looking at a man's car, "I look at the cleanliness of the vehicle, not the car itself."

Opting for the brasher route, one girl decided to lay it on thick for the confessor. "Dude, girls actually look at the face first, not the car. Don't misunderstand girls, the face is really important. If he's not handsome, then it does depend on the money and his charm. If he's got no money, his appearance matters in that case."Somewhat adding to this, another person wrote, "I never look at the car before looking at the face."

Nonetheless, some people did come forward to offer some kind perspectives for the anonymous user. One woman wrote, "So am I not a girl? I really don't care about the type of car you drive."Taking a dig at a car under the Proton family, another person chose to make the man feel better in a peculiar way. "Driving a Bezza is not bad, I only know about driving a [Proton] Wira. It's okay, work hard and in the future you can get another car," they wrote.

This Photo Of Her Son Sleeping On A Cardboard Has Made The Mum Ashamed

Can unwanted attention on social media make you feel ashamed, despite it putting food on your plate and clothes on your children?

At least, that's what a mother from a Central Asian country feels, after a couple of photos of her son sleeping on a piece of cardboard in the town of Kara-Suu of Osh Region in south-western Kyrgyzstan went viral on Facebook earlier this week.

Image via Лайли Камаловна

The photos of the sleeping boy, aged 3, were posted to Facebook along with the comment: "It would be good if this innocent child slept in a kindergarten or at home, instead of at the market"

Image via Лайли Камаловна

Since the photos were posted, a furore erupted on Facebook

While users debated about poverty in Kyrgyzstan, many of them turned to blaming the mother for leaving her son to sleep on the street. Some even took to the government, criticising the authorities for the pitiful scene, reported BBC Trending.However, amidst the furore, the photos of the sleeping boy has pushed many to demand that the President of Kyrgyzstan do something for the family.According to reports, a string of promises has been made by government officials, among which is that the Kyrgyz government intends to take care of boy's fate.Speaking to Sputnik Кыргызстан, the President's spokesperson, Almaz Usenov, said that Atambayev has instructed the government to study the situation with the boy.But as it is with government promises, not all appear to have been delivered.

The boy's mother, identified as Zulfia, whose husband has moved to Russia to find work and support the financially struggling family, while speaking about the photos, confessed that she is "ashamed"

"Even if I am poor I look after my children. I am not lazy," Zulfia was quoted as saying by BBC Trending, which also reported her speaking about the story behind the photos: "My son fell asleep when I was working and I had no choice but to lay him on the ground in a safe place while I was busy with work. I lay a carton underneath him, he was only asleep for ten to fifteen minutes."

She also spoke about the help she has received so far:

"A minister came to my house and he brought boxes of food and blankets and clothes for my children, raincoats and boots and shoes, I very much appreciated this gesture from him. Apart from that, I haven't received any help," Zulfia says.

Did Malaysia Lose Pulau Batu Puteh To Singapore Because Of A Bribe?

Pulau Batu Puteh Was Originally An Island Within The Territories Of The Old Johor Sultanate

Pulau Batu Puteh was originally within the territory of the Johor Sultanate which was founded in 1528, and remained under the new Sultanate of Johor under the British sphere of influence following the signing of the Anglo–Dutch Treaty of 1824 between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

Between 1850 and 1851, the British built Horsburgh Lighthouse on the island without informing the Johor authorities of their decision to do so or seeking consent for its erection.

Since 1979, Malaysia And Singapore Are Involved In A Dispute Regarding The Ownership Of Pulau Batu Puteh

On 21 December 1979, the Director of National Mapping of Malaysia published a map entitled Territorial Waters and Continental Shelf Boundaries of Malaysia showing Pedra Branca to be within its territorial waters. Singapore rejected this "claim" in a diplomatic note of 14 February 1980 and asked for the map to be corrected.

        wikipedia.org

Singapore first suggested submitting the territorial dispute to the ICJ in 1989. The suggestion was accepted by Malaysia in 1994. In 1998, the text of a Special Agreement to bring the matter before the ICJ was agreed, and the Agreement was signed by the two countries at Putrajaya, Malaysia, on 6 February 2003.

In 2008, The International Court Of Justice Found That Pulau Batu Puteh Belonged To Singapore

The Court delivered its Judgment on Friday 23 May 2008.  It found that sovereignty over Pedra Branca/Pulau Batu Puteh belonged to the Republic of Singapore and that sovereignty over Middle Rocks belonged to Malaysia.

        haguejusticeportal.net

The judgment ends the 28-year old territorial dispute between Malaysia and Singapore and both countries had earlier pledged to abide by the decision of the ICJ that is final and not subject to appeal.

Then In Nov 2013, The Former KL CID Chief Said That The Attorney General Intentionally Lost The Case After Being Bribed

Former Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim today revealed that money changed hands, which led to Malaysia losing its claim on Pulau Batu Puteh to Singapore in 2007.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Mat Zain further claimed in his SD that money had allegedly exchanged hands to ensure Singapore won the custody of the tiny rock.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Mat Zain said the Malaysian delegation to the ICJ led by Gani had submitted, as evidence, a controversial photograph that was retrieved from, of all places, an anonymous blog.

Rafizi Ramli Will Seek Help From Hong Kong's Graftbusters To Expose The AG's Misconduct

PKR’s Rafizi Ramli will seek help from Hong Kong’s graftbusters once again, this time over bribery allegations against Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail which purportedly led to Malaysia losing its claim on Pulau Batu Puteh to Singapore in 2007.

        themalaymailonline.com

Despite admitting that it would not be easy to implicate Gani, Rafizi hoped that the action will garner a response from Putrajaya, including suspending the AG pending the investigation.

        themalaymailonline.com

“They have the authority and power to investigate any financial transactions into Hong Kong if there is reasonable ground to believe that the money was a part of corruption," says Rafizi.

It had alleged that former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had been told that Abdul Gani had gone to Hong Kong to deposit money paid to lose the Pulau Batu Puteh sovereignty case.

        themalaysianinsider.com

AG Abdul Gani Patail Says Rafizi Is Welcomed To Check His Bank Accounts

In a rare display of transparency, Attorney-General (A-G) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail volunteered today to show his bank accounts to Rafizi Ramli after the opposition lawmaker accused him of accepting money in a deal that saw Malaysia lose its stake in Pulau Batu Puteh to Singapore.

        themalaymailonline.com

“I am prepared to give YB Rafizi the letter of authority if he wants to check my bank accounts in any country including Hong Kong about the millions of dollars that had purportedly been deposited into my account as a bribe in the overlapping claim on Pulau Batu Putih at the International Court of Justice. He can come to my office at any time to get the letter,” Abdul Gani was quoted saying by state news wire Bernama.

This Teacher Housed 33 Students For A Month & A Half So They Can Study During The Pandemic

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

Naimah Yusuf is a Chemistry teacher at Sekolah Menengah Teknik Terengganu who has inspired her students with her dedication for her work

One of her students nominated her for McDonald's Anugerah Guru Inspirasi 2021, where she was named as one of the winners.In their submission, they went into detail as to how Cikgu Naimah became one of the reasons they felt motivated to study. The boarding school student wrote, "Bismillahirahmanirahim. Inspirational teachers? Do I even need to care about this? Yes, to me, as a student, it's a need. Why is it a need? With the existence of an inspiring teacher, it pushes me. Sometimes, when there are teachers like this, they become the main reason I want to go to school."

Image via McDonald's Malaysia

One particular event which makes Cikgu Naimah stand out from others is when she decided to provide food and accommodation for 33 students in her own home and a rental unit so they can study amidst the pandemic

The student explained, "At the beginning of the Movement Control Order (MCO), my spirit to study broke. Of course, it's hard to study online. Especially when it comes to Chemistry since we cannot physically see the theories. Sometimes I wanted to cry. When you push yourself to understand a difficult subject but you just cannot, at that very moment I lost my motivation to study."However, when MCO 2.0 started, Cikgu Naimah sent a message to her class and offered them to stay overnight at her house so they can learn better."Our class discussed whether we wanted to go or not, but because of her dedication, we decided to go ahead and stay at her place," the student said. They also noted that in their school, there are students from different parts of the country who are originally from states such as Johor, Selangor, and Kelantan.

"If you want to know, we did not spend two, three, or four nights at her place. We stayed for a month and two weeks at the teacher's house. Imagine, there are 25 students in my class and about eight more students from other classes.""Our teacher placed male students in a rental home and the female students stayed at her house. For the one month and two weeks we were there, we did not have to pay for accommodation or food. She said she would sponsor us. We only paid for transportation from the rental unit to her house when it was time for extra classes. From 10am to 10pm, we'd be at her house to study."

Image via Naimah Yusuf (Provided to SAYS)

"The whole time I was at her house, I did not just study Chemistry but also picked up a lot of knowledge about other things," the student noted

In their submission, they stressed that Cikgu Naimah and her family were very welcoming."Her husband always gave us advice about the future every time we performed congregational prayers. Here was also where we were trained to be an imam, muezzin, and here was where we learned about manners during prayers and when making friends.""At our teacher's house was where we learned to be independent and also work together. For example, when it was time to eat, we would work together to prepare the dishes. Here was where cooking skills were taught to us. We learned to cut vegetables, prepare chicken, beef, and more.""Even though our teacher had her own family, she was devoted to carrying out her responsibilities in educating her students," they added.

Image via Naimah Yusuf (Provided to SAYS)

Cikgu Naimah inspired her student so much that now their ambition is to become an educator just like her

"This incident really gave me inspiration because with her presence, she made our bond among classmates stronger and we learned to love each other. In addition, the experience made my relationship with my family and other friends stronger too.""Alhamdulillah, with her dedication in teaching the subject, our class managed to prove that Chemistry is fun, up to the point that we managed to improve our grades in the class from F to C during the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) trial exams.""I am very inspired by this teacher that I have made it my ambition to be a teacher at a technical school. Why? because I want to bring good to others like she did. InsyaAllah."

Besides Cikgu Naimah, McDonald's has named 24 other teachers from all around Malaysia as the winners of Anugerah Guru Inspirasi 2021

They will each be awarded an RM5,000 cash prize, a trophy, and a certificate of appreciation.For the past five years, McDonald's has held the Anugerah Guru Inspirasi competition to honour extraordinary teachers who have gone beyond the call of duty in nurturing students.You can find the complete list of winners and read their heartwarming stories here.


Headmaster Claims RM109,000 Cash Was Stolen From His Car When He Went To Get A Drink

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

At around 12.17pm on Monday, 16 January, someone allegedly broke into a school headmaster's car in Semenyih and stole RM109,000 in cash

According to Kajang police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan, the headmaster had withdrawn the money — which was financial aid for the school — from a bank in Kampung Baru Semenyih at about 10am."[He] placed the cash inside a bag. The bag was kept on the front passenger seat," Mohd Zaid said, adding that the headmaster then left his car to go get himself a drink at a nearby restaurant.The primary school headmaster claimed that when he returned to his car, the window of the rear passenger seat on the right side was broken, and the bag containing the cash was missing.The case is being investigated for theft under Section 379 of the Penal Code.

The headmaster, however, breached standard operating procedures (SOP) by withdrawing the amount without the presence of an escort

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said that, as per the ministry's SOP, a police escort is a must when withdrawing any amount over RM10,000 and that the ministry will not compromise on the matter."It involves the loss of a large amount and there was a breach in the SOP with regard to finances [...] So we are waiting for a report from the police and Selangor State Education Department (JPN)," she said.Regarding any action to be taken against the headmaster over negligence or carelessness, Fadhlina said that she will leave the matter to the JPN and the police to assure that the case is being thoroughly investigated.In the meantime, the Ministry of Education (MOE) will reimburse the money to the school through the relevant process, as it was the right of the school students, Bernama reported the minister as saying.

Meanwhile, Mohd Zaid expressed his disappointment with the 50-year-old headmaster for not requesting a police escort for the withdrawal

He said that based on a statement by the headmaster, it was normal for him to make such huge transactions without a police escort and that he had been doing so for 10 years, reported Bernama."It is regrettable that he did not request it because the school could have asked the police to help for such a purpose," Mohd Zaid said during a press conference yesterday, 17 January."We recommend that schools always get the police to escort them from the bank to a safe place," he said, adding that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has long provided security escort services to more than 100 schools around Kajang whenever they needed to withdraw cash from the bank.

While the case is being investigated under Section 379, the police are also not ruling out negligence or the involvement of  "insiders"

According to Mohd Zaid, at the moment, the police are re-examining the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage to identify the individuals who entered and left the bank during the time of the incident."We will investigate from all angles, there is a possibility of insider involvement and negligence. We have already recorded the headmaster's statement and there will be others who will be called in," he said.

According to the National Blood Centre's (PDN) guidelines, a person must be within the age of 18 to 60 years old for first-time donors, while the age limit extends to 65 years old for those who have donated blood previously.  Those who are 17 years old may donate blood but they would need to obtain a written consent from their parents or guardians.  Other requirements include:  • Body weight of at least 45 kg. • In good physical and mental health with no chronic medical illness. • Not on long-term medications and has not been intoxicated by alcohol within 24 hours prior to donation. • Should not be fasting and have had enough sleep (minimum 5 hours) the night before donating.  Those who wish to make an apheresis donation (donating either plasma or platelets or both) will need to observe a few additional criteria: • No more than 55 years old. •  Body weight of more than 55 kg. •  Have donated whole blood (a common type of blood donation, the other being apheresis) at least twice before and the last donation was no more than six months ago. •  Having a suitable venous access (firm, large and palpable vein).

2. Who is not eligible for blood donation?

You're not allowed to donate blood if: • You lived in the United Kindom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man or the Channel Islands) or the Republic of Ireland from 1980 to 1996 for a period of six months (cumulative) or more. • You have been living in Europe from 1980 to the present for a period of five years (accumulated) or more. • You are menstruating, pregnant, breastfeeding, or experienced a miscarriage six months prior to the donation.

Only those who have tattoos, ear or body piercing, or acupuncture within the last 12 months from the donation date will be prohibited from donating blood.

4. Where do I go if I want to donate blood?

Image via PDN

Those who want to donate blood may head to the National Blood Centre (NPD) in Kuala Lumpur and at the blood bank of selected government hospitals, as shown in the image above.  Additionally, those who reside in the Klang Valley may also head to the NPD Donation Suite located in Mid Valley Megamall.The public can also check the National Blood Bank's event calendar here or check with local organisations such as the Ministry of Health, Malaysia Blood Donors Society, and Malaysian Red Crescent for regular updates on upcoming blood donation drives.

5. Do I need to bring any documents?

Image via skanaa

Bring along and present any original copy of the following: • MyKad/Armforce Number/Police number • Driving license or Passport• Working pass with identity card number and photograph• Work permit with passport number and photograph• Student pass with IC number and photograph • Student pass with passport number and photograph• Blood Donor's book (PDN 2) for repeat donors Note: Foreigners must have lived in Malaysia for no less one year.

6. Is there anything else I need to do to prepare myself, besides bringing the necessary documents?

To ensure that the blood donation process would be a good experience for everyone, the Malaysia Blood Donors Society has made some good suggestions: • Get a good night's sleep.• Have a good breakfast or lunch.• Drink extra water and fluids to replace the volume you will donate (avoid tea, coffee, or other beverages with caffeine).•  Eat iron-rich foods — red meat, fish, poultry or liver, beans, iron-fortified cereals, raisins and prunes.• Avoid fatty foods, such as hamburgers, fries, or ice cream before donating as tests for infections done on all donated blood can be affected by fatty materials.

7. Is there anything that I should take note of after donating blood?

Snacks and drinks are usually provided for donors, so do have some immediately after donating blood as the refreshments will help you get on with your daily activities. PDN has also advised the public to follow their recommendations within the 24 hours after you have donated blood:DO:• Drink more water. • Lie down with your legs elevated if you're experiencing dizziness or feel like fainting. • Immediately seek medical attention if you feel unwell or uncomfortable, or if there are any signs of bruising, swelling or pain.DON'T:• Participate in sports activities or strenuous exercise, or carry heavy items.• Drink any alcoholic drinks.

8. Do I get any money for donating blood?

Image via pisanapisini.wordpress.com

No, but donors are entitled to some really good incentives such as free outpatient treatment and hospitalisation benefits, free Hepatitis B vaccination and others, depending on the frequency of donation.  It goes without saying that repeat donors would be entitled to better benefits. On top of that, some organisations may also offer special perks during their blood donation drive to encourage the public to participate.  For the full list of benefits and the terms of conditions, check out this website.

9. How often can a person donate blood?

Usually, a healthy donor may donate again after 56 days.

'Sentuh Murid Salah, Biarkan Pun Salah. Hilang Nikmat Guru Nak Mengajar'

Dua hari lalu, terdapat satu kes di mana seorang guru hampir membunuh diri semasa sesi persekolahan sedang berlangsung di Putrajaya

Image via beritadaily.com

Namun, guru tersebut berjaya diselamatkan oleh pasukan keselamatan.Setelah dipujuk oleh seorang rakan sekerja, dia akhirnya beredar dari balkoni tingkat empat bangunan itu dan kemudian dihantar ke Hospital Putrajaya untuk rawatan.Guru terbabit tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan. Beliau melakukan aksi sedemikian dipercayai akibat kemurungan.

Terkejut dengan isu ini, Cikgu Emmet Menulis melalui FB berkongsi pandangannya terhadap kenapa perkara sebegini boleh berlaku. Baca di bawah:

Terkejut bila mendengar ada berita seorang guru yang cuba terjun dari tingkat 4 sebuah sekolah di Putrajaya semalam. Namun atas pujukan rakan dan pihak bomba dan penyelamat dia berjaya diselamatkan dan dibawa ke.Hospital Putrajaya untuk dirujuk. Masalah yang dikesan ialah KEMURUNGAN.Sahabat guru saya yang dikasihi semua. Mengapa ini berlaku? Dahulu pernah terjadi di sekolah tamil di Klang, guru cuba minum racun akibat tekanan kerja. Mengapa ye?Profession yang amat mulia sebagai medium penyampai ilmu kini sudah menjadi satu profession yang berisiko tinggi untuk kemurungan. Guru kini sudah hilang 'NIKMAT' dan 'GHAIRAH' semasa mengajar.

Image via wp.com

Tidak seperti zaman guru guru kita mengajar kita dahulu. Di bandar-bandar, guru-guru kita dihormati oleh masyarakat setempat.Sampai di pasar membeli ikan pun apek cina boleh cakap, "CIKGU MAU IKAN APA? PILIH CIKGU" sedangkan tak kenal pun apek tu. Saya sendiri melaluinya pada tahun 95 dahulu di pekan Saratok.Bila ditanya, "Mana tahu saya guru?", apek tu cakap, "Kitak punya mua, ada landik punya orang. Kamek tahu itu mua cikgu." (muka awak memang ada muka orang bijak dan orang bijak ialah cikgu. Sekarang muka serabut dan serabai lah cikgu sebab stress huhu).

Image via blogspot.com

Sekarang susah nak cari orang yang hormat pada guru. Malah bermacam-macam sumpah seranah dihamburkan pada guru. Sentuh murid salah, biarkan pun salah.Ada satu status saya baca di media sosial, seorang memberi komen bahawa guru nak cepat balik rumah, sepatutnya tunggu semua anak murid diambil ibu bapa pulang barulah guru balik.Saya terkentut membacanya (real punya kentut). Apa dia ingat kami guru ni mandul? Tak ada anak di sekolah dan nursery yang perlu kami jemput?Ada kes ibubapa bila dipanggil untuk jemput anak yang demam supaya bawa pulang ke rumah dan dibawa ke klinik, mereka balas dengan jawapan, "Saya busy kat office ni. Boleh bagi dia panadol tak?" (Peraturan guru tak boleh bagi ubat pada murid hatta paracetemol kerana guru bukan pegawai perubatan yang sah).

Image via afiqekie

Ada guru yang terkejar-kejar dengan mesyuarat kurikulum lah, mesyuarat perlaksanaan program itu ini begitu begini, mesyuarat penetapan sasaran, sampai ada kes lupa anak dalam kereta sampai meninggal anak itu, semata mata mengejar meeting.Ada kes guru tiba tiba pengsan dan mati semasa proses pengajaran. Ada guru meninggal sebab lemas semasa aktiviti perkhemahan. Yang meninggal akibat kemalangan jalan raya pun makin banyak.

Image via suarainsan.net

Sedihkan.Sepatutnya suara comel anak-anak murid jadi penghibur hati guru. Kini guru terpaksa mengajar mengikut acuan-acuan tertentu. Kelas mesti mengikut PAK21, Pendidikan Abad ke-21. Murid-murid duduk berkelompok. Bila guru mengajar, susah nak fokus kontaks mata.Berbeza dengan guru zaman 70an 80an 90an. Naik kapcai, mengajar sambil gelak ketawa, menyakat murid merapatkan silaturrahim. Kalau garang masih dihormati. Anak-anak murid dahulu pun sekarang dah jadi orang yang kuat jiwanya.Bukan macam sekarang.Muridnya hati tisu, jiwa rapuh bagai kerepek. Bila disindir masa kecil, sampai ke besar dia merepek.

Image via postimg.org

Kembalikan keghairahan mengajar kepada guru-guru. Jangan kekang kreativiti guru. Biarkan guru melaksanakan tugas MENDIDIK dengan lebih teratur. Jangan dibebankan dengan tugas sampingan yang bukan jadi teras kerja.Sampaikan nak sambut pegawai pun duit guru diminta derma. (Kawan saya kat Sabah mengadu harap-harap tak berlakulah kesian kat cikgu-cikgu kita).Guru-guru dah hilang semangat. Kalau jabatan lain, boleh buat team building dan bina diri untuk meningkatkan kualiti kerja. Manakala guru cukup dengar ceramah bebelan SISC sambil minum air mineral dan disaji gula-gula.Hmmmm kalau dulu ada juga karipap dan koci. Nak harap mihun jauh sekali.Bertabahlah guru-guru. Allah bersamamu.Sumber: Cikgu Emmet Menulis

Iconic A&W Outlet In PJ To Be Torn Down As MBPJ Has Approved Redevelopment Plans

It appears that the closure of the iconic A&W outlet in Petaling Jaya is imminent as redevelopment plans have been approved by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ)

Image via @joycesharyn/Instagram

The Star Online cited a source from MBPJ who said that MBPJ has given the green light during the council's One Stop Centre (OSC) committee meeting recently for the A&W restaurant in Lorong Sultan to be redeveloped. News first broke in 2014 that fast food restaurant will be closed down to make way for the construction of the KUB Tower project. However, KUB Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the owner of the A&W Malaysia franchise, failed to obtain MBPJ's approval to transform the A&W restaurant site until recently.

The matter was also confirmed by Bukit Gasing assemblyman R. Rajiv

Image via @joycesharyn/Instagram

"I am deeply saddened that this iconic building is going to be torn down and I really wish that they didn’t have to do it."However, we also have to respect that this is a private land and the owner is allowed to develop the land in accordance with the guidelines and law," he was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

It was learned that the A&W site will be redeveloped into a building with 20 floors

Image via The Rakyat Post via MFA

Initial media reports in the past stated that KUB was looking to build two office towers on the one-acre (0.4ha) piece of land where the A&W restaurant sits on. Based on the latest developments, it was learned that KUB had initially proposed to build a 36-storey building. According to Rajiv, the final development plan that was approved will consist of a one-block, 20-storey office tower  inclusive of a four-storey carpark as MBPJ brought the numbers down. KUB, when contacted by The Star Online, said that an announcement will be made soon regarding the matter.MBPJ's approval comes just weeks after KUB president and group managing director Datuk Abdul Rahim Mohd Zin recently expressed his hopes that the project will get the nod from the city council this month.Although the 53-year-old establishment might be gone soon, there is another A&W outlet nearby, at the PJ Palms Sport Centre that will remain open.

Speaking of closures, Australian clothing brand Factorie will shut down all of its outlets in Malaysia and Singapore by February:

"It's Absolute Chaos!" — Malaysians React To The Kelana Jaya LRT Suspension For 1 Week

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

Earlier today, 9 November, it was officially announced by Rapid KL that 16 stations on the Kelana Jaya LRT line will be shut down for one week

While instances of inactivity or default in function related to LRT lines in Malaysia have come up ever so often, the temporary halt of 16 stations has left hundreds of Malaysians within the Klang Valley stranded.Although numerous Malaysians have stepped up to the plate to help individuals in need who use the LRT to get to work, school, and university, among other places, the issue remains at large for most locals.

Image via theSundaily

The inconvenience has not gone unheard, with many Malaysians taking to social media to express their frustration over the breakdown

"There's no working LRT in the heart of KL," said one user. "Not everyone [can afford] a car, [some] solely depend on public transport to go to work. Imagine the chaos!"Another user gave intimate details on her husband's journey to work today, describing it as absolute chaos. "My husband took the LRT to Kelana Jaya, and three buses to get to Ampang Park — 2.5 hours in total!"

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

Others also gave a rundown of their personal circumstance, highlighting the additional issues they'll have to face with the LRT being down."Took me two hours to drop off my sisters at work in what could've easily been 30 to 40 minutes. Traffic is congested and it's not even funny. I honestly feel very sorry for those who rely on LRT Kelana Jaya."Another person, who is a frequent public transport user, expressed how the 16 lines that were halted are some of the most crucial stations on the Kelana Jaya line, "This has to be the lowest ebb our LRT system has come to."Meanwhile, one young person mentioned how an important internship presentation of his would be delayed, affecting a pivotal work day for him at the office.

Image via Twitter

A couple of others chimed in on the trickle effect the halt has for vehicles on the road. "Everyone is using their car to go to work. My area has never seen a jam like this before," lamented one user.

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

One final user also took a jab at the LRT stations, saying that at first, it was escalators that were not working, and now, it's the LRT itself.

Image via Twitter

In an official statement put forward by Rapid KL, it was revealed that the root cause of the breakdown has not been determined yet

Conveyed by the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Land Public Transport Commission, Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah, the unknown issue caused a loss of signal between the control offices and the trains, thereby preventing the trains to move along automatically between the Kelana Jaya LRT station and the Ampang Park LRT station.Extending a sincere apology to the public for the trouble caused, Azharuddin, on behalf of Rapid KL, mentioned that this is the first time an issue such as this has happened. He carried on by mentioning that Rapid KL is currently waiting for assistance by a special team of the original equipment manufacturer, Thales Group, based in Toronto, Canada.In an attempt to find short-term and long-term solutions, he specified that tests will be carried out on existing software and devices.

Nonetheless, Azharuddin mentioned in a press conference this morning, 9 November, that the 16 stations would be halted for one week to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the process."After weighing out a number of safety factors that concerns passengers, the time that is needed to find the root issue of the disruption, and testing that'll be required, the LRT stations between the Kelana Jaya stop and Ampang Park stop need to be halted for seven days, beginning at 6am today (9 November)," he said.Despite this, Azharuddin assured that all the other stations outside these 16 on the Kelana Jaya LRT line will function as normal, with operations ending earlier daily, at 11pm, for the time being. He also stated that free shuttle busses will be provided for users, so as to avoid confusion and overcrowding at the affected stations."Rapid Rail will continue to work hard to solve this issue as soon as possible," he concluded in his official statement.

Despite these issues, many Malaysians have come forward to help each other guarantee transportation:

Here's What Khairy Has To Say About The Full Reopening Of Malaysia's Borders

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

As the National Recovery Council (NRC) continues to push the government to fully reopen Malaysia's borders as early as 1 March, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has said that the beginning of the second quarter of this year would be a more realistic timeline for it

According to Khairy, while Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has given the Ministry of Health (MOH) two weeks to prepare guidelines for the reopening of the border, this does not mean that the country's borders will be reopened in two weeks as the matter needs to be discussed at several levels.He said that the guidelines will first need to be presented to the COVID-19 Pandemic Management Committee, as well as the COVID-19 Quartet Ministers before being brought to the Cabinet."The reason is that big decisions cannot be made at the MOH level, this involves big national policies," he told reporters after visiting Klinik Kurnia, which offers B40 Health Care Scheme (PeKa B40) services.

			I expect early in the second quarter of the year as a realistic target, but let the Prime Minister decide on this.
        Khairy

He shared that MOH will come up with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the border reopening before a decision is taken

The second quarter covers the months of April to June.According to Khairy, MOH will need about two weeks to prepare the SOPs for the border reopening and the borders will not necessarily be reopened immediately after the proposed SOPs are completed.

Khairy's remarks come after NRC chairperson Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin once again pushed 1 March for the border reopening

A Bernama report quoted the former prime minister as saying that even the Health Minister has agreed to the proposal on reopening Malaysia's borders by 1 March to revive the country's economy."Please PM, it's a proposal by NRC and not my own. In the meeting, the Health Minister was there and when asked whether there would be a compulsory quarantine, he said no need. Asked when can the border be opened, he said it can be opened on 1 March," the national news agency quoted him as saying.

NRC has been pushing for the full reopening of Malaysia's borders:

                NRC Plans To Fully Reopen Malaysia's International Borders On 1 March

The council said travellers will also not be required to undergo compulsory quarantine.

M'sians List Out Reasons Why Pics Of Daredevil Couple On Top Of Merdeka 118 Could Be Fake

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

Malaysians are discussing whether recently surfaced photos of a daredevil couple on top of Merdeka 118 are real after finding several aspects of the photos to be peculiar

According to New Straits Times, the fearless climbers are reportedly Russian couple Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau. Over the past two days, they posted photos of them posing with Kuala Lumpur skylines on Instagram.The photos of them on the world's second-tallest building were first uploaded to a website called Skyscraper City by a user named "Beerkus" on Monday night, 26 December.Following that, the photos were re-uploaded to Malaysia's subreddit, with many netizens questioning the security of the 678.9m-tall tower."Congrats to the security team," a Reddit user said sarcastically, while another added, "So police no arrest yet? (sic)"However, some sharp-eyed Malaysians found something was amiss about the photos.

Exhibit 1: the colours of the shoes

Image via Beerkus/Skyscraper City

"You're telling me he changed his shoes from the third picture to the second picture? Or did the girl change her pants?" acutely questioned a Reddit user.A close inspection of the first photo found that the supposed Nikolau is wearing a red outfit and a pair of white shoes, while the supposed Beerkus is fully dressed in black, including his shoes.But the third photo shows an unidentified person in black pants wearing a pair of white shoes while climbing what seems to be the ladder of the spire.It is difficult to discern whether the person in the photo is Nikolau or Beerkus, and it is uncertain whether either of them changed their pants or shoes.

Exhibit 2: the scale of Beerkus and Nikolau in comparison to the building looks off

Image via Beerkus/Skyscraper City

"Why does the size of the people look off? It's not photoshopped, right?" asked another Reddit user, to which a person replied, "That's the spire, lol."One user also said, "LOL. Is this for real? Looked superimposed.""[The pictures] looked all too casual and free, and [I] doubt they'd have got clearance or breached security."

Beerkus and Nikolau have not posted photos of themselves on Merdeka 118 on their official Instagram accounts

SAYS did not immediately receive a response after reaching out to both of them, while New Straits Times is checking with the police if an investigation will be launched following the incident.With that said, Beerkus had on Tuesday, 27 December, said in an Instagram post that Merdeka 118 is a height that is "absolutely unattainable"."I heard many stories about trying to climb this building illegally. The saddest ones ended [up in] prison for several months. There are many closed doors and CCTV cameras inside the building, which makes it the most desirable building in the world."A day prior, he described Petronas Twin Towers as "one of the most beautiful high-rise buildings on the planet", but "now they are not my goal".Meanwhile, on the Skyscraper City website, the user with the name "Beerkus" answered a question from a netizen."Was there space for an observatory in there on the way up?" asked a person, to which he replied, "I think yes. 115th floor and 116th have a very large space. And there are escalators between 115th and 116th."

Image via Skyscraper City

Nur Sajat Has Been Granted Asylum In Australia

Cosmetics entrepreneur Nur Sajat, who has been on the run from the Malaysian government, has been granted political asylum in Australia

The 36-year-old took to her Instagram Live on Monday, 18 October, to share that she is now living in Sydney, Australia and that she was never coming back to Malaysia, reported Malay Mail.Human Rights Watch deputy Asia director Phil Robertson confirmed that her application for asylum has been accepted, saying, "she is now safe", according to a report in South China Morning Post (SCMP).Prior to this, Sajat was arrested in Thailand on 8 September following a tip-off by Malaysian authorities, who have been hunting her for failing to show up for a court proceeding in February this year.Sajat was charged on 6 January under Section 10(a) of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Selangor) 1995 as her act of cross-dressing is said to have brought contempt to Islam.When she failed to show up during the mention of the case on 23 February, the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) mobilised about 122 personnel to find and arrest Sajat, reported Malay Mail.Sajat has been under intense scrutiny by both local authorities and netizens as early as 2016 after she publicly announced that she identifies as a woman. She has been on the receiving end of cyberbullying and death threats. Her plight as a transperson has often been reported by international media.

According to Sajat, the reason she chose Australia to seek asylum from Malaysia is because the country accepts "Sajat and Sajat is free"

"What else do we want? We want freedom. So, human rights here, it is very important. They (Australia) really prioritise human rights. I don't want anything, I just want human rights," she said.Sajat added that she is "now happy and free"."Now that I'm free, I can carry on with my life. Money can be earned but happiness can't be bought. For me, I'm happy being in a country that accepts (me for) who I am, and that's what I really want," she said, adding that she wasn't happy in Malaysia and chose to leave because she still has respect."I just want to find freedom, that's all," Sajat was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini.

The 36-year-old shared that she plans to restart her business in Australia, after having liquidated all her business interests in Malaysia

According to SCMP, Sajat said that she has sold all her businesses in Malaysia and "could not wait" to start afresh in her new country after she has completed her quarantine period."We have been quiet all this while because we plan to open a new shop in a new location and Alhamdulillah [thank God], we've got a lot of support. I am very excited and happy," she shared.

She uploaded a map of Australia with the country's flag on her Instagram next to the words "new life".

Meanwhile, questioned on her religious belief, the entrepreneur asked to be left alone, saying "Religion is a personal matter"

"If I am still a Muslim, let me be with my Islam, and you with yours. You do not need to judge me, and we will respect each other. There is no need to say 'Sajat has sinned'... While I appreciate that you feel you need to advise me, but I have my stand, and we just respect each other," she said while hinting that she was leaving Malaysia permanently, using the Malay phrase "cerai talak tiga" for irreversible divorce.

This Man Was Caught Filming An 'Upskirt' Video In Mid Valley But He Got Away In The End

A woman has warned the public to be vigilant after she caught a man filming an 'upskirt' video of her in Mid Valley recently

Image via Giney Chan

Facebook user Giney Chan said that the incident happened at the Komonoya store in the mall on Sunday, 8 January at about 5.36pm. She was shopping in the store when she realised a man was allegedly squatting with a phone in his hands and used the phone to record a video under her skirt.

Feeling suspicious, Chan decided to confront the man

When Chan approached the man in question and requested for him to show her what is on his phone but the man apparently tried to "delete something on his phone" before passing it to her. "I quickly snatched his phone," she said.  At the same time, Chan yelled for a friend for help, prompting the man to flee the scene. He managed to get away from the situation.

Later, with the suspect's phone in her hands, Chan found out that there were other victims who have suffered the same fate as she did

Image via Giney Chan

"When I browsed through his gallery, I found out there are six videos, including mine. He has precisely filtered and kept those 'good' videos," Chan said. She claimed that the man would lurk in aisles of shops and creep up on unsuspecting female shoppers. "He did this at different places, like pharmacy stores, accessories shop, and others. Preferably those stores with high and low shelves, so you'll lower your guard down when he bends down back face against you," she explained.

Image via Giney Chan

"He peeps even (when) you're not alone."

Image via Giney Chan

Chan believes that this man could be really daring, as seen in one of the pictures where an upskirt photo of a woman was taken even when there was another man standing right beside her. "I believe he'll do this over and over again unless punishment and justice are served," she said, adding that she has escalated the issue to the mall's management and made a police report.She also spoke to the Komonoya store manager to take a look at the CCTV recording, but unfortunately, it did not capture a clear picture of the culprit's face.

10 Reasons Why We Couldn't Tahan School Prefects

Ah, prefects. Teachers (especially disciplinary heads) love them. Us students... not so much.

Sure, some pengawas sekolah (school prefects) are pretty chill friends who may or may not be willing to "close one eye" when we not-so-purposely break the rules.But let's all agree that in general, prefects can be quite an overzealous bunch when it comes to enforcing school rules. And that's coming from someone who used to be a prefect (me).

Image via Samantha Khor / SAYS

Yep, that's me as a prefect in primary school (right). God, I was such a nerd.

With a little input from former non-prefects, here are some of the many ways prefects have annoyed the heck out of their fellow students:

1. When you're whispering to your friend during perhimpunan and they yell at you to "Stop talking!"

"With all due respect, yelling is noisier than whispering." - John

2. "Don't drag your shoes."

"I don't know if this happens in every school, but the prefects in my school always shout at us for 'dragging our shoes' when everyone's moving to their class after assembly. Seriously, it's friction! We can't help it!"- Sarah

3. When they threaten to write down your name and denda (punish) you with demerit points

"There was this super psycho prefect in my school who gets really angry when other students don't listen to her, so she'll whip out her 555 book and demand for your name and class and student number etc. Sometimes she'll threaten to bring us to the guru disiplin or give us demerit points, but we don't really care 'coz we all think she's just power crazy."- Priya

4. When there's a surprise spot-check and they confiscate things that are not even on the haram list

"They took away my chocolate cake. Because it's chocolate, and chocolate is candy. What logic is this?!" - Ken

5. Going overboard when it comes to enforcing the school's strict dress code

"This still makes me angry when I think about it. Prefects in my school, they simply raba (touch) to check if you're wearing a camisole or not... WITHOUT ASKING. Fine, they're female prefects, but get. your. filthy. hands. off. me." - Ruxyn

Image via Blogspot

6. When they refuse to follow orders from librarians or class monitors because they think they're at the top of the chain

"I used to be a librarian, and the prefects like to perli (tease) us because we have a position but no power. Sometimes, they like to purposely break library rules because they know we can't really punish them. So... just them being entitled morons lah." - Gowri

7. When they say they have prefect duty, but it's actually just an excuse to skip class

"If you think prefects are this group of well-behaved, responsible group of people, wait 'til you see the prefects in my school. They always say they have duty or prefect meetings, but actually, they go to their special 'prefects' room' to lepak." - Lionel

Image via Twitter

8. When junior a.k.a. newly-appointed prefects try to show off their "power" to the senior students

"This always happens when they have to jaga kelas because the teachers are in a meeting or something. First of all, RUDE. Second, even the head prefect is friendly with us, who are you to yell at us and order us around?" - Praveen

9. When they act like angels in front of the teachers but you know that they're actually like IRL

"Okay, most of the prefects I know are my friends and they're quite chill. But there's always that one or two super kiss a*** prefects who like to follow the discipline teacher around and just basically doing all the angkat buntut things.But when the teachers are not around, fuh... all the belang come out."- Khairul

10. Literally every time they say, "Teacher say you cannot do this."

Terengganu Cancels "Immoral" Music Festival 8 Days Before It's Supposed To Take Place

The annual Island Music Festival, which was supposed to happen from 12 to 14 October in Pulau Redang, has been cancelled by the Terengganu state government yesterday, 3 October

The third installment of the Island Music Festival in 2016.

Held annually since 2013, Island Music Festival takes place on the beaches of Pulau Redang. This year's edition was set to be headlined by Malaysian acts like DJ Leng Yein & Leng Sean, Kaya The Band, Jumero, Jenni F, A-Kid, Bihzhu and more.At the time of writing, ticket sales have been put on hold and the event's social media pages have been taken down.

PAS lawmakers revealed that the event was cancelled as it was deemed "immoral" and "unhealthy"

Ariffin Deraman, the state exco for tourism, culture and information technology said that the three-day two-night event should not go on because it is "immoral and goes against Eastern culture," at a weekly exco meeting, as reported by The Star.He added that the event could lead to moral degradation and tarnish the image of the state government.

PAS also claims that the organisers did not have a permit to the hold the annual event

Although the Minister of Tourism and Culture gave the green-light for the event, the local officials did not.“The state government decided to cancel the event as it did not adhere to prescribed guidelines and also because there were objections from the local community,” state exco for local government, housing, health and environment Alias Razak told Malay Mail.Objections from the local community allegedly refer to netizens in a Facebook group getting riled up by a 30-second promotional video of the event that showcased half-naked women and other "immoral" activities. It is believed that they also demanded for the festival to be cancelled.

However, the organisers are still able to appeal and meet with the state government on the status of the event

According to The Star, a company official has said that they will meet with the state government to clarify any misconception of the event being "unhealthy". He added that there were never any plans to go against the guidelines or laws. PAS lawmaker Ariffin Deraman stated that the appeal could be considered if the organisers adhere to the state government's terms. However, they do not have a permit to hold the event as of now.

On 2 October, the Terengganu Tourism Department released 11 guidelines that event organisers had to adhere to:

The guidelines states that public shows can only involve male performers. Female performers can only perform behind closed doors. Gender separation is required between performers and attendees but the rule does not apply to children's shows.Another guideline mentions that shows are to be held after Isyak prayers (usually after 8pm), and end by midnight.

Malaysian Women Share That One Thing They Wear That Makes Them Feel Invincible

"This necklace may look like it's just some really weird random shapes but..."

Image via SAYS

"...it's actually the DNA structure of the happiness chemical, serotonin. I wear it every day as a daily reminder that happiness always comes from within."- Vivian, 32.

"This watch is something that I never thought I'd own"

Image via SAYS

This particular watch brand is actually quite difficult to find in Malaysia. So it means a lot to me that my mother actually went to the trouble to get it as a gift for me; it's something that's really close to my heart. Every time I look down at it on my wrist, it automatically makes me feel better no matter what I'm going through at the time. How's that for empowerment?"- Paula, 28.

"Call me superstitious if you want but this is seriously my lucky interview dress!"

Image via SAYS

"I've worn it to almost all my interviews and I usually end up getting the job, hehe. The past three companies I've worked at (including the one I currently work at) all hired me after the first interview. Something about this dress just gives me the confidence to be myself and perform well. It even worked for my younger sister when she borrowed it for her first post-graduation job interview!"- Tammy, 27.

"I love these heels because they literally lift me up to feel like no one can stand in my way"

Image via SAYS

"What better way to feel like a boss than by feeling like you're on top of the world? ('cause these heels make me 5 inches taller lol :P)."- Anna, 36.

"This hoodie was the first expensive thing I ever bought with my own money"

Image via SAYS

"The wings on the back are especially inspirational for me, they make me feel like nothing can hold me back from achieving any goal I set for myself."- Haley, 25.

"Okay first of all, it's such a pretty scarf that just looking at it makes me happy. But more than that, it actually used to belong to my mother back in the day."

Image via SAYS

"She's my role model in life and my biggest supporter in everything I do. When the world (okay lah more like the rest of my family je) is against me, she's always got my back. She's the strongest, most amazing person I know so what could be more empowering than wearing something of hers to inspire me to be just like her?"- Anis, 19.

"DON'T LAUGH OKAY  but I bought these earrings 'cause they remind me of the scales on a Magikarp (that's a Pokémon BTW for those of you who don't know)"

Image via SAYS

They're my little symbol of hope and a reminder not to underestimate myself or anyone else. If something as seemingly useless as a Magikarp can evolve into something as cool, ferocious and highly sought after as a Gyarados, why can't I do the same? Wearing them helps me remember to never stop trying to improve myself and become the very best version of myself that I can possibly be.- Nadirah, 35.

"Wearing statement pieces like this kimono top leave no room to worry about the rest of my outfit"

Image via SAYS

"All I have to do is throw on something basic underneath and I'm good to go. Looking effortlessly fab always puts me in great mood."- Michelle, 24.

"Having bright lips (especially fuchsia) empower me because they've become a big part of who I am"

Image via SAYS

"I love how they make me look and feel; it's hard to not be confident when you're rocking such a bold colour!"- Tina, 30.

"I bought this arm cuff because it reminds me of something out of Game of Thrones"

Image via SAYS

She's such a BAMF so of course I feel completely empowered when I wear it. It helps me channel my inner Khaleesi!" - Sarah, 22.

"I hiked through the Grand Canyon in these and man was that tough!"

Image via SAYS

"So I figure that if I can do that, I can pretty much do anything."- Natalie, 31.

"I used to be quite chubby during my teenage years, borderline overweight in fact, which made me super insecure about my body image"

Image via SAYS

"I never really felt comfortable wearing clothes that showed off my body, it was long pants and long sleeves 24/7 for me. I was always jealous seeing other girls flaunting their gorgeous legs in shorts and I especially envied how cooling wearing shorts must be on those super panas days.So after I eventually managed to reach my goal weight, I got myself this particular pair of shorts to wear with pride. The bright pink colour really helps to boost my confidence too. Oh and my butt looks great in these." ;)- Gwen, 25.

"This bag was my promise to myself to change for the better"

Image via SAYS

"I was never one of those students that always get straight As for everything. My SPM results were barely good enough to get me into college. It wasn't that I wasn't smart or anything, I was just really lazy and never bothered to study. I don't know why exactly, but I decided that I would work hard to change myself in college.I bought myself this bag as a mark of that promise and carried it around with me everywhere, especially to class and study sessions. Guess what? I graduated with straight As. :)"- Carrie, 23.

"I'm super short so I often have to wear heels when I go out so that I don't look like a hobbit next to everyone else"

Image via SAYS

"One huge problem though: I can't walk properly in heels thanks to my terrible sense of balance :( So these platforms are my savior, not only can I walk without a problem in them, they're super comfortable too!"- Emily, 30.

"It pretty much speaks for itself doesn't it?"

Image via SAYS

A simple but powerful reminder to have faith in myself and to keep working towards achieving my dreams. Anything is possible if I just believe."- Mary, 21.
