Khairy: Malaysia Has Fully Vaccinated 10% Of Its Population Against COVID-19

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

The milestone target of fully vaccinating 10% of the population has been achieved, after markedly increased vaccination rates

As of Friday, 9 July, a total of 3,314,871 people have completed both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, representing 10.2% of the national population.This number is significant, as it marks the achievement of the first national indicators required to transition out of Phase One of the National Recovery Plan.The other two thresholds are that number of daily COVID-19 cases drop below 4,000 and bed use at hospital ICUs are at a manageable level.However, the other two key indicators seem to be moving in the opposite direction, with a new record high of 9,353 daily cases reported today, 10 July amidst overwhelmed hospitals.

In a statement, National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that the milestone was achieved after increasing vaccination rates much higher than they were previously."Earlier this month we announced to administer 300,000 jabs on average in July, but over the last three days we did one million doses," he proclaimed during the "Vaccine Advocacy Forum" organised by the Malaysian Pharmacists Society, which had been streamed live online on yesterday.The average previous vaccination rates in late June was around 200,000 shots administered daily.

Khairy now expects to achieve the target of fully vaccinating 30% to 40% of the population by the end of August

In the same forum, Khairy had also blamed the earlier slow vaccination rates on low vaccine supply in the country amidst global inequality in the distribution of vaccines.He said that as of 4 July, Malaysia has received a total of 12.6 million doses of different vaccines from 67 million doses the country was able to procure."We are waiting for another 54 million vaccine doses, this is to indicate to the pharmacists society that this is a clear issue of supply, not capacity," he was quoted as saying by Malay Mail.Khairy also promises that by the end of August the country will see marked decline in deaths and severe hospitalisations attributed to COVID-19.He made this assertion by looking at the data from developed countries that have achieved this threshold, although he remarked that the number of cases might still be high due to the new Delta variant.

Khairy had received the first Sinovac vaccine administered in Malaysia, which he assures is just as effective as the others.

Remember to limit your movement and keep practising physical distancing. Watch the latest update on the COVID-19 situation:


There's Emotional Baggage. And Then There's This Guy.

Travelling can be exhausting. Especially after a long flight, the last thing you want to do is queue up at an airport baggage scanner.

That's probably how this guy felt after returning home from a flight in Beijing, China.

It was just too much hassle to remove his winter jacket. So he did what most of us have probably thought of doing at some point.

After putting his bag on the belt, the man casually flopped himself onto the scanner and went through it as if he was just another piece of luggage.

Image via China Live/YouTube

Although the officer immediately stopped the belt from moving, the man came out the other end like he hadn't done anything wrong.

Image via China Live/YouTube

Was it just laziness or was he just sick and tired of people? Call it what you want.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't get away with the peculiar stunt. AsiaOne reported that the man had to go through a safety briefing with the police right after that.Worth a shot, I guess.

Meanwhile, the elderly man has been identified as 'Pak Ali'

Everyone must play their part and help the community, regardless of their race and religion," he was quoted as saying by NST. He added that the society would be encouraged to show good values and respect one another when the people around them lead by example.

"The enforcement of his disqualification as an MP will only begin if his petition is denied," said the Speaker

"As such, Datuk Seri Najib Razak's status as the Pekan MP remains unchanged at this time."Today marks the 14th day of Najib being in jail. On 23 August, the Federal Court upheld his sentence to 12 years in jail and fined him RM210 million for abuse of power, criminal breach of trust, and money laundering in the SRC International case.

According to Article 48 of the Federal Constitution, an MP will lose their seat if they are convicted of an offence and sentenced to more than one year in jail and fined more than RM2,000.However, under Article 48(4)(c), they can keep their seat if they file an appeal at the court or a royal pardon within 14 days. Should their appeal or royal pardon be rejected, they will lose their MP status.

Meanwhile, Pekan UMNO deputy division chief Zamri Ramly said that he has distributed petitions to residents of the constituency to request the Agong to grant Najib a royal pardon

He said that he hoped that at least 100,000 people in the constituency would sign the petition, reported The Star."I hope that all leaders in the constituency will give their best commitment to sign the petition that will be presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong," the deputy division chief said on Sunday, 4 September."All Pekan residents should also sign the petition distributed through applications such as WhatsApp to show their support for Najib."

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

The Keluarga Malaysia Job Fair, part of the Aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia (AKM) event, took place from 9 to 12 December and gave jobseekers a good opportunity to kickstart their future careers

24-year-old business major graduate, Naim Feroz, said attending the job fair allowed him to physically meet representatives from companies that he was aiming to join

"The pandemic has hindered many things. I couldn't even apply for an internship placement at companies I want to work for in the future."I was not able to meet people and learn properly, but that is an experience I will treasure forever. But events such as this job fair would mean a 'new normal' situation is possible, especially for jobseekers like me."The job fair is a great start for me to make connections for my future career path," he said, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Another jobseeker, Nurul Hidayah, who graduated before the pandemic hit, said she hoped to find a job at the fair

"For the time being, I have a part-time job but I would love to get a job that is stable for my future."It was hard to find a job during the pandemic because everything was held virtually. Now I can physically meet prospective employers and make a good impression without having to rely on slow Internet connection," she shared.

For 21-year-old student Nurul Syahirah Sharulhizam, she was just tagging along with her friends to the AKM event when she found out there was a job fair

"To be honest, I am here to accompany my friends. I am glad to know there is a job fair, so I can check it out since I need to know what are the possible career paths that I can take."I am not prepared today but at least I can start taking notes and, perhaps, come again tomorrow and share my resume with the companies I am interested in," she said.

The three-day Keluarga Malaysia Job Fair, which ended yesterday, was organised by the Human Resources Ministry via the Social Security Organisation (SOCSO)

Image via New Straits Times

SOCSO chief executive Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed said there were at least 75 employers from various sectors and industries participating in the job fair."It is estimated that 24,100 jobs are being offered at the job fair. The event is organised by SOCSO in conjunction with the 100-Day Aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia."Other job services provided at the job fair include assistance to register on the national employment portal MYFutureJobs, resume workshops, career briefings, and free job search guidance by SOCSO employment services officers," he said.

"An Insulting Offer" — Bayonetta's VA Calls For Boycott After Only Being Offered USD4,000

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

Famous British voice actor, Hellena Taylor, who is known for her voice acting role in Bayonetta, an action-adventure game series, has called for a boycott for the upcoming third installation of the game

Bayonetta 3 is set to launch on 28 October. However, recent revelations by the voice actor on Twitter has stunned avid fans, as she finally broke silence and made a statement on why she is missing from the third installation of the Bayonetta franchise. The character, Bayonetta, who is a shapeshifting witch with the ability to summon demons, was played by Hellena for the previous two games.

She revealed that she left the project due to a low wage offer

On 15 October, Hellena detailed the events leading up to the disappointing offer in a three-part Twitter thread, which has since garnered over 60,000 retweets and 200,000 likes. "This is an insult to me, the amount of time that I took to work on my talent, and everything I've given to this game and to the fans," she stated.The voice actor's absence from the franchise did not go unnoticed among the fanbase. It's explained in the video, however, that she has been silent up until now due to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)."I didn't ask for too much. I was just asking for a decent, dignified living wage. What they did was legal, as it was immoral. I decided to do this to stand up with people all over the world who do not get paid properly for their talents," she stated in a video.

The voice actor then went on to say that her financial issues caused by being underpaid was her reason for her struggles with depression and anxiety

Initially, she was asked to re-audition for the third installation, which is a standard procedure for returning voice actors to ensure that their voice did not undergo significant changes, and had 'passed with flying colours'. Then, she received the initial 'insulting offer' which she rejected, only to receive a revised offer of USD4,000 (RM18,800), despite the franchise earning over USD450 million (RM2.1 billion) since its debut.For context, the national average salary for voice actors in the UK is approximately GBP36,900 (RM197,000)."I am asking the fans to boycott this game and instead spend the money that you would've spent on this game donating it to charity," she continued. "Bayonetta always stands up for those with less power and what is right. In doing this, you stand with her."

A Sad Ending: Dead Baby Came 'Back To Life' In Morgue Only To Pass Away Again

A baby born prematurely in western Colombia came came back to life, nearly ten hours after the hospital declared her dead and shifted the body to a morgue.

The incident happened last week when Jenny Hurtado, who was 27 weeks pregnant, gave birth to the baby girl on Wednesday morning, at the San Francisco de Asis hospital in Quibdó.

The newborn with underdeveloped lungs was officially declared dead around 3. 20 AM, nearly 35 minutes after she was born.

At 6 AM, the hospital staff placed the baby's body in a small box and moved it to the morgue.

Ten hours later, when the baby girl's family came to collect the body from the hospital's morgue, an attendant noticed something unusual: signs of life.

The 1.9-pound baby, whose lungs were not yet fully developed, was swiftly airlifted from the rural town of Quibdó to a hospital in nearby Bogota for treatment.

The baby girl, who was named "Milagros," or "Miracles," passed away in the hospital's specialized care unit Monday night, according to local media.

At the time the baby was found alive in the morgue, doctors hailed the recovery as a miracle since the premature baby was able to survive for so long outside of an incubator.

        christianpost.com

While it's still not clear exactly what happened, one specialist in the area offered an explanation.

"In some cases the heart movements are not perceptible even though the newborn is alive, they can declare it dead,” Dr. Javier Zagarra told weekly magazine Semana, according to Colombia Reports.

Ain's Parents Counter Sues Teacher Accused Of Making Rape Jokes For RM5 Million

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

The parents of Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam, the 17-year-old secondary school student who has been served a letter of demand for RM1 million by her teacher, are filing a counter-suit against him for RM5 million

According to a report in Free Malaysia Today, Ain's parents have decided to file the counter-suit for "intentional infliction of emotional stress by insulting her modesty".This comes after the teacher, whom Ain had exposed for allegedly making rape jokes during a physical and health education class in April this year, served the student with the notice for "defamatory statements".The teacher, who has not been named or identified by Ain, served the notice on 4 August and gave her a week's time to reply, including to settle RM1,000,000 in damages.Replying today, 6 August, to the teacher's notice, the student's family said they will rely on the defence of fair comment, qualified privilege, and all other defences available in the Defamation Act 1957.

Ain's father, Saiful Nizam Abdul Wahab, shared that the teacher's actions have caused his daughter emotional stress and trauma

While speaking to Free Malaysia Today, the father said that he has instructed his lawyer SN Nair to file a civil suit for intentional infliction of emotional stress and will be claiming RM5 million in compensation."We have replied to his RM1 million suit that we are contesting. A formal letter of demand for the RM5 million compensation shall follow," Saiful Nizam was quoted as saying by the portal.

Things took a turn this week when the teacher filed a police report against Ain after the public prosecutor decided to not press charges against him over the allegations that he made rape jokes during class

Sungai Buloh district police chief Supt Shafa'aton Abu Bakar said that her department received a notice of no further action (NFA) against the teacher from the deputy public prosecutor.Reportedly, there was not enough criminal element to press charges against the teacher.According to a report in Malaysiakini, a source privy to the case said that while what the teacher said in the case was "insensitive towards the feeling of schoolgirls who were there", it wasn't criminal enough.

The post read, "There are still people eating turtle eggs! The case is in Beluran, Sabah. Please do not eat turtle eggs that are going extinct. Whoever knows these people, please inform the police. If you see posts about people selling or eating turtle eggs, please report as well."

Aduh!!! Masih ada lagi orang yang makan telur penyu! Kes di Beluran, Sabah.

Janganlah makan telur penyu yang semakin...Posted by 1StopBorneo Wildlife on Saturday, February 13, 2021

The Sabah Wildlife Department has acknowledged the incident

Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga told The Star that he had seen the viral photos but has not received any report of the incident yet.

Consuming turtle meat on a regular basis should be stopped as it can result in severe, even fatal, poisoning to humans, warns a local expert:

He cited high metal content and parasitic worms that could cause severe harm after consumption.

Photographer Captures The Quaint Charm Of A Decades-Old Hair Salon In Kuantan

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

If you look close enough, there's beauty all around us.
Recently, a Malaysian photographer captured a charming, small hair salon in Kuantan as the owner was opening her shop.

Street photographer @tariquenano shared a series of photos that he took of the decades-old hair salon that have since gone viral on Twitter.

Appreciating its old school appeal, Tarique snapped a photo of the hair salon's entrance with an iron gate and wooden window

Above the gate is a signboard that has weathered down over the years with the salon's name written on it, 'Elysée (Unisex) Hair Beauty Salon', in multiple languages.Behind that gate is a glass sliding door with posters of hairstyles faded from years of exposure to sunlight.

Tarique shared that as he was taking the photo, the owner said to him, "Aiya, why are you taking photos of this old shop?" to which he replied, "Aunty, your shop is beautifully aesthetic."

And he's not wrong.
The 70-year-old owner shared with Tarique that she inherited the salon from her father, who first opened it when she was in her 20s.

She revealed that people had often stopped by to ask if they could buy her old signboard.

"Aiya, I normally dress well and put on makeup and everything. Today, I am cincai," she told him, as she quickly did her hair for a mini photoshoot he requested.Tarique captured these beautiful portrait shots of the owner and later returned with a printed copy for her to keep.

In a later tweet, the photographer shared that someone told him that the aunty was really happy that he had appreciated her shop. She even went around to show neighbouring shops the portrait he had taken of her. <3

Im speechless ya gais. Aunty tu bawa gambar dan cerita pasal gambar tu dengan orang lain.Shes so happy. Aku pun terasa tempias kegembiraannya. pic.twitter.com/JSKh1bnbj5— Tarique Zain (@tariquenano) July 18, 2022

Thailand Bakal Kenakan Bayaran Masuk RM39 Bagi Pelancong Yang Tiba Mulai Jun Ini

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

Bermula Jun ini, Thailand bercadang bakal mengutip bayaran 300 baht (RM39.25) daripada pelancong asing yang tiba di negara itu

Menurut laporan menerusi Channel News Asia (CNA), yuran itu difahamkan akan digunakan untuk membantu pelancong jika dalam kemalangan selain membangunkan destinasi pelancongan.Pelancongan adalah sektor utama di ekonomi kedua terbesar di Asia Tenggara itu dan menyumbangkan 12 peratus daripada keluaran dalam negara kasar (KDNK) sebelum pandemik Covid-19."Yuran ini tidak dikutip daripada warga asing yang mempunyai permit kerja dan pas sempadan," kata Menteri Pelancongan, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn.Cadangan itu mula dipertimbangkan pada tahun lalu dan masih lagi tertakluk kepada kelulusan Kabinet.

Pelancong yang tidak mendapat suntikan vaksinasi Covid-19 sebelum ini akan turut dibenarkan masuk ke negara itu

Phiphat berkata, perbelanjaan pelancongan diramal mencecah sekurang-kurangnya 2.38 trilion baht (RM311 bilion) pada tahun ini. Pada 2019, Thailand menerima kemasukan 40 juta pelancong.Malah, Thailand pada 9 Januari lalu membatalkan syarat wajibkan mewajibkan pelancong asing menunjukkan bukti vaksinasi Covid-19 dan menurut Menteri Kesihatannya, Anutin Charnvikul, tahap imunisasi mencukupi direkodkan di China dan seluruh dunia.Beliau berkata, peraturan itu yang memerlukan setiap pelancong menunjukkan bukti telah divaksinasi adalah menyusahkan dan panel pakar memutuskan ia tidak perlu mengambil kira kadar vaksinasi yang mencukupi telah dibekalkan di seluruh dunia.Anutin berkata, pelancong yang tidak mendapat suntikan pelalian itu akan turut dibenarkan masuk ke negara berkenaan.

Thailand adalah antara destinasi pelancongan paling popular di Asia yang sedang menerima kemasukan pelancong asing menggalakkan bagi musim puncak pertama sejak penarikan semula sekatan kemasukan yang ketat pada tahun lalu.Pada November, seramai 1.75 juta pelancong memasuki negara itu, empat kali ganda jumlah yang diterima sepanjang tahun lalu berikutan jumlah penerbangan dan ketibaan pelawat asing dihadkan.Anutin turut berkata, Thailand menjangkakan tujuh hingga 10 juta pelancong China, berbanding anggaran awal sekitar lima juta orang.

After our grandmother's death, he returned to Melaka and seemed to have a lot on his mind," Din told Berita Harian."I asked him why he appeared burdened, he replied that he had a lot of work."I told him to come back and work in Melaka since his company has a branch there."He told me he had plans to do so after the wife had given birth."

The 37-year-old cousin added that the suspect and the victim's relationship seemed normal

Bye Bye Oily & Flat Hair! These 4 Dry Shampoos Will Leave Your Hair Feeling Fresh

With Malaysia's hot and humid weather, it can be so uncomfortable to go days without washing your hair

It's just that sometimes, we're so caught up in the daily rush of things, and we might have had cheat days where we forgot to wash our hair after a long day of work.

Image via Healthline

But, all that perspiration and oil buildup in your hair just makes you feel all icky and uncomfortable. And that's why dry shampoo is an absolute life-saver!

So, what is dry shampoo?

If you’ve never heard of this magical thing in a bottle, dry shampoo helps absorb the excess oil without the need of a traditional shampoo in-between washes. It instantly refreshes your limp and greasy-looking mane while making your hair smell nice.

However, dry shampoo is not a substitute for hair washing!

Dry shampoos only absorb the oil and sweat from our hair, but it doesn't clean our hair the way a shampoo can. Using a dry shampoo can extend the number of days you go without a hair wash, so that your hair feels fresh for longer.

Image via GIPHY

"Wah, so I can sleep longer in the mornings since I don't have to wash my hair every day when I wake up!"

That sounds about right!But, there are so many choices in the market, so how do you choose the right dry shampoo for your hair concerns?

Check out these four amazing dry shampoos that are currently up to 20% off at Guardian:

1. For fragrance-boosting properties, check out the new Sunsilk Bye Bye Oil Fragrance Booster dry shampoo

Image via Unilever

If you suddenly realised your hair smells of sweat, don’t worry. Just give your hair a few spritzes of this dry shampoo at the roots, brush it through your strands, and you’re good to go! This would be a great mid-day fix after having lunch at a Korean BBQ restaurant, if you come out with smoke-scented hair after a yummy meal. Smell like you’ve just had a good wash at the salon in seconds.

2. Instantly relieve your itchy scalp with Clear's dry shampoo

Image via Unilever

Enriched with tea tree and mint, this dry shampoo will stop that itch while absorbing oil without leaving any white residue. Cooling mint helps soothe your scalp's itchiness while tea tree is anti-bacterial. Formulated with natural ingredients, Clear dry shampoo can be used before redoing your hijab after performing your prayers. This dry shampoo is suitable for those who don a hijab daily, or are dandruff-prone.

3. If you want to rejuvenate your lifeless-looking locks, then the Sunsilk Bye Bye Oil Volume Booster dry shampoo should be your choice

Image via Unilever

This dry shampoo eliminates oil instantly, giving your hair more volume and a radiant shine. This formula's instant oil absorption technology allows you to go for a longer period of time in between washes while transforming your limp, dull hair into shiny and volumised tresses.

4. For instant nourishment on-the-go, give Dove’s Go Active dry shampoo a try to care for your hair between washes

Image via Unilever

This dry shampoo is a gym bag essential and can be used after workouts without having to wash your hair, saving you so much time in the mornings. You could use it on your hair without drying it out while keeping sweaty odours at bay, perfect for when you need to rush to the office after a workout. With a delightful light floral scent, you can be sure that there will not be any ‘workout hair’ after the real workout!

This 5-Blade Electric Shaver Looks Super Slick & Gives You The Perfect Shave Every Time

This Spotlight is sponsored by Panasonic Malaysia.

In an effort to raise awareness of prostate cancer and the global 'Movember' movement, Panasonic Malaysia marked the finale of their 'In The Pursuit Of Manliness' campaign with an exclusive wrap up event earlier this month

Image via Panasonic Malaysia

Throughout the month of 'Movember', Panasonic launched their 'In The Pursuit Of Manliness' campaign and got both men and women to share their support for the cause by uploading photos of themselves with fun moustache and beard filters on social media. The wrap up event at Nimroc HQ Maluri saw six male influencers being shaven clean by their biggest fans in what was a lighthearted show of solidarity with Prostate Cancer Society Malaysia. 15 other participants were shaved by a handful of the most renowned barbers in Malaysia!

It's way past Movember, but if you're looking to get a clean shave, Panasonic has got you covered with their 5-blade electric shaver

Image via Panasonic Malaysia

The Panasonic 5-Blade Lamdash ES-LV6Q electric shaver is the company's 'best and fastest' device to date. If your boyfriend needs a shave, you can buy one to give him a hint. ;)

Here are five awesome features of the Panasonic ES-LV6Q electric shaver:

1. You can slide, tilt, and twist the shaver in any direction

Image via Panasonic Malaysia

Featuring a 5-blade cutting system, the ES-LV6Q electric shaver uses a Multi-Flex 5-Direction shaver head that follows every contour of your face and neck, allowing you to slide, tilt, and twist with confidence. No matter what angle you're holding the shaver at, the blades will always uniformly stay in contact with your skin, even in the most pesky, hard-to-reach areas.

2. It's crafted with Japanese blade technology

Image via Panasonic Malaysia

The electric shaver will automatically detect the density of your beard, making power adjustments along the way to always ensure you have a smooth experience. What even are beard tangles? ;DThe stainless steel blades themselves are super tough, sharp, rust-resistant, and are positioned at a 30º angle to ensure an optimum shave.

3. Enjoy a close, accurate shave every time

Image via Panasonic Malaysia

Packed with an ultra-fast 14,000 Cuts Per Minute (CPM) linear motor, the Panasonic ES-LV6Q electric shaver provides a close and clean shave. Even those annoying whiskers that people often miss, they're a thing of the past. A close, accurate shave, without any power loss. Yes, please.

4. You can use it wet or dry

Image via Panasonic Malaysia

The Panasonic ES-LV6Q can be used wet or dry, depending on your needs. For those especially thick beards, you can even use its pre-shave feature, which comes in the form of a pop-up 45º trimmer blade for a quick shave prep and detailed grooming. With the built-in Smart Travel Lock Function, you can bring the shaver anywhere with you on your travels without having to worry about it accidentally activating. The function ensures the shaver is only turned on when it's being held in a grasp.

5. Last but not least, it looks slick AF

Image via Panasonic Malaysia

The shaver looks BEAUTIFUL. With its stylish, silver-metallic body, it'll fit right in on any bathroom countertop. Not only will you look good using it, you'll feel good too.

The Panasonic ES-LV6Q electric shaver retails for RM1,225

You can get it at the official Panasonic Malaysia online store or your nearest Panasonic authorised dealer.

11 Good Habits That Deserve More Attention Than Bad Drivers In Malaysia

1. Staying at a safe distance instead of tailgating recklessly

Image via lowyat.net

What's the hurry? Make sure that you keep at a distance to give both you and the driver in front some safe space in case of any emergency! Your chase to hurry things up could potentially slow you down more!

2. Using the signal when switching lanes instead of 'surprising' other drivers

Image via imgur.com

Every car has something built-in so essential to every day driving. It's located just next to your steering wheel and it helps to alert other drivers on which direction you want to change to. All it takes is a little tap on the lever and they'll be alerted. Use the signal light, it really helps!

3. Sticking to the correct lane instead of swerving from lane to lane and at the last minute

Image via gfycat.com

It's a good thing that you're signalling, but don't be the lone that makes last minute decisions! Know where your turn and exit is and make sure you make your way to that lane beforehand.

4. Staying clear of emergency lanes at all times (not just when cops are in sight)

Image via wordpress.com

It's named an emergency lane for a reason. We're talking about life and death situations and being late for your appointment cannot be compared to these scenarios. The police, firemen, patrolmen and rescuers utilise emergency lanes to reach people in need when the roads are choked up in hard-to-manoeuvre traffic. You are directly helping accident victims by staying out of the emergency lane.

5. Drive ahead when there's an accident so emergency vehicles can reach the site faster. Slowing down to take photos is a nuisance to them and others on the road.

Image via imgur.com

Accidents happen, and we all want to know what's going on. Instead of slowing down to kepoh, just have a quick glance and move along to avoid slowing down help that is on the way.

6. Go to a designated U-turn instead of making illegal ones that may endanger other drivers

Image via bustaflash.com

You don't want to be THAT guy who awkwardly fails making a U-turn because it's:1. Illegal2. Not designed for a U-turnYou also don't want a lot of angry stares from cars heading your way because you thought it'd be smart to do so. Use a proper U-turn! Make the road planners happy!

7. Responsible adults dispose of rubbish in a proper bin instead of chucking it out the car window!

×

You're eating a banana and you have no where to throw it because you don't want to "dirty" your car. So you decide to throw it out the window because "it's biodegradable anyway". Don't do that! Solve this problem by getting a small plastic bag where you can dispose all your garbage. You can then throw it properly once you arrive at your destination.

8. Leaving parking lots for the disabled to those who need it, instead of abusing it for our own convenience

Image via petertan.com

Abusing parking lots for the disabled is disrespectful and shameful. Be civil.

9. If you really need to double park, leave your phone number on your car's dashboard instead of double parking irresponsibly

Image via says.com

Okay, so maybe there isn't a parking spot left despite using all your skills to find one. You want to double park to run an errand at the bank because "it will just take awhile". But it takes longer than expected and the poor guy can't drive out because he's blocked by your car. Make sure you leave a proper phone number on the dashboard so that you can be contacted easily.

10. Stop right before the yellow box, not at the centre of the yellow box

Image via Judith Yeoh via Twitter

What is a yellow box? It's a control measure designed to prevent congestion and gridlock at junctions. So don't be that driver who stops in the middle because you're afraid someone will potong you. You're blocking others and thus making traffic worse.

11. Red means to stop. You're putting other lives at risk by beating it.

Image via gfycat.com

Green is for go, yellow means to slow down (not speed up faster) and red is to stop. When you don't stop, you delay others and put yourself and others at risk.
