'You Deserved It' - Malaysian Women Criticised After They Were Molested At SG Beach Party

It was supposed to be a good time of celebration with her closest friends but the night came to a tragic end when Evelynn Boey sustained bruises after someone molested her at a beach party in Singapore

Boey, who hails from Malaysia, was attending a beach party in Singapore's Sentosa Island on new year eve's day on 31 December with some of her closest friends. The 30-year-old medical technician was having a good time until she joined her friends at the signature foam pool, one of the major highlights of the event, where someone had outraged her modesty. Recounting her experience on Facebook, Boey said, "It happened at the foam pool where there is a huge foam cannon shooting foams out from the top that could cover anybody that goes under it. I remember my friends going into the foam and I was trying to go in too." "At a swift moment, someone grabbed me (and) hugged me from the back and pushed me in and started groping my boob."

The next sequence of events detailed by Boey made many others feel squeamish

"He pushed me down into the pool of foams where nobody can see me at all, continued to grope me vigorously, and put his other hand into my pants," she wrote. "He was also pulling my bra down. I was struggling to push him away and at the same time finding my way out to somewhere where people can see me.""He tried again to pull my bra away."

"I shouted but I guess nobody can hear me as the music was loud too."

When she finally managed to escape from the frantic situation, she immediately went to one of the security guards who was standing around the foam pool, asking for help. However, Boey was disappointed when her pleas for help was to no avail when the security guard refused to interfere in the matter, claiming that he did not see what happened so he "cannot do anything".

Later, it was reported that Boey's friend, only known as Lee, was also sexually assaulted at the event

According to media reports, someone had attacked Lee from behind and even tried to pull her pants down.  The 29-year-old said that she managed to break free from her attacker during the incident, and reached out to Boey to help the latter get out of the foam pool.

Boey admitted that this unpleasant experience was  indeed a bitter pill to swallow

"Some of you may say, 'Padan muka who ask u to wear so little cloth', 'You asked for it' or 'This kind of things happened so many times'." "Yes, I admit that I was being careless, so carried away having fun at the party but nobody deserves this. Lesson learned," she said, responding to potential criticisms that will arise since she was relating her experience on social media.  Boey also stressed that she was not drunk that night because she doesn't drink. "I would like to remind all the girls to be really careful all the time. Please take care of each other while you are out there partying because you wouldn't know what will happen. I was unlucky that it happened to me."

As Boey had expected earlier, some netizens have slammed her and said that she was also responsible when such incident happens. Some went as far as to say that she "deserved it".

Meanwhile, others have defended Boey, saying that there was no need for victim blaming

It was reported that a police report was lodged and the Singaporean authorities are currently conducting investigations into the matter

A spokesperson for the Sentosa Development Corporation said on Tuesday, 3 January, that investigations are ongoing so they are unable to provide further details on the matter at this point. She added that they were in contact with Boey and Lee to offer their assistance. Meanwhile, Boey told Singapore's Straits Times that the incident has changed her perception on such parties and Singapore in particular."This is our first time attending a party like this. And it's quite typical for foreigners like us to think that Singapore is a safe place," she was quoted as saying.

Jatuh Cinta Waktu Sama-Sama Main PUBG, Lelaki & Gadis Lumpuh Kaki Ini Selamat Diijabkabul!

Cinta tidak hanya berlandaskan paras rupa dan fizikal semata tetapi paling penting sekali adalah keikhlasan hati seseorang itu

Dalam memilih pasangan hidup, selain daripada melihat dari sudut agama, akhlak, dan keperibadiannya, faktor utama sebelum seseorang itu memilih calon pasangan sudah tentu adalah keserasian.

Image via Tirto

Jika seseorang itu sudah berasa serasi dengan calon pasangannya, maka dia tidak akan sekali-kali memandang orang lain kerana hatinya sudah tetap dengan yang ada di dalam hati.

Dan apabila hati sudah berkenan, kekurangan yang ada pada pasangannya itu akan dianggap sebagai satu keistimewaan.

Baru-baru ini, viral kisah seorang lelaki yang tidak menjadikan kekurangan gadis pilihannya sebagai penghalang untuk mereka disatukan sebagai pasangan suami isteri

Amirul Syahmi Mohd Yazid, 25, telah menikahi Siti Aisyah Zaid, 22, yang lumpuh kedua-dua belah kaki dan kini berkerusi roda.Munurut Siti Aisyah, dia bersyukur suaminya sanggup menerima kekurangan yang dialaminya.

“Kedua-dua kaki saya ini lumpuh selepas motosikal yang saya tunggang terlibat dalam kemalangan di Parit Raja dua tahun lalu dan ketika itu saya masih belum berkenalan lagi dengan suami walaupun kami masing-masing tinggal di daerah ini,” kata Siti Aisyah.

Menariknya, pasangan suami isteri itu telah berkenalan melalui permainan video atas talian, Player Unknown's Battleground (PUBG).

"Kami hanya berkenalan pada tahun lalu secara tidak sengaja melalui permainan video atas talian, Player Unknown's Battleground (PUBG) pada tahun lalu dan bermula dari situ, hubungan kami bertambah akrab sehingga membuahkan rasa cinta," katanya menerusi akhbar Sinar Harian.

Tambah meriah, pasangan suami isteri berkenaan telah disatukan dalam Majlis Pernikahan Beramai-Ramai anjuran Kelab Kebajikan Pejabat Kadi Daerah Batu Pahat

Selain mereka, turut memeriahkan majlis yang diadakan di Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Kampus Tun Hussein Onn Batu Pahat pada 18 Ogos yang lalu itu adalah 17 lagi pasangan mempelai.

Amirul Syahmi berkata, dia mengambil keputusan untuk mendirikan rumah tangga bersama Siti Aisyah selepas diberitahu oleh ahli keluarganya tentang Majlis Pernikahan Beramai-Ramai tersebut kira-kira beberapa bulan lalu.

Menurutnya, walaupun dengan bayaran hanya RM3,500, dia secara peribadi berpuas hati dengan perjalanan majlis perkahwinannya itu yang berlangsung dengan meriah dan akan menjadikannya kenangan terindah dalam sejarah hidup dia serta isteri.

[NANDINI SAYS] The Thing About Generation Gap Between Parents & Children

You know, sometimes, I look back and think about the day I spoke to my dad about wanting to be writer/journalist... the conversation went so well.

Image via SAYS/YouTube

I mean, it's not like I expected it to go badly (BEST DAD EVER) but it was the fact that I was, indeed, stepping into a career that comes attached to the phrase, the "starving writer". Not exactly every parent's dream career choice for their child.

But being the dad he is, he was full of positivity and words of encouragement.
"Pursue what your heart desires. Passion, hard work, and the right attitude will take you far."

Image via SAYS/YouTube

Foooh! I'm super lucky! :D
But right, for most kids, getting their parents to understand their career choices is like trying to solve complex Math. The generation gap is REAL, bro.

×

Most of our parents were raised with different values and lived at a time when career options were limited, which pushes them to push us towards the "safe" careers.
It's a tricky situation, man.

Image via PETRONAS

Oh, speaking of generation gap and career choices, PETRONAS' 2018 Deepavali video, titled 'Monochrome', encapsulates the issue so well

×

The 4-minute video highlights the fact that most issues can be solved with good communication. In this context, always be honest to your parents. It may not be the easiest thing to do but it will definitely help them understand you and your choices better. Ultimately, they just want the best for you. :)

Happy Deepavali, guys! <3

We Attended The 1st Ever Surfing Event In Perhentian & You Should Totally Join Too!

Surf Perhentian is your friendly neighbourhood surf event that welcomes new surfers with open arms

Image via Surf Perhentian (Provided to SAYS)

Aiming to attract tourists to the island during the low season, Surf Perhentian is a surf camp and festival that is held twice a year in November and March.While the Northeast Monsoon usually deters people from travelling (and this is accompanied by closure of the island's resorts and shops for a few months from October to March), we learnt that the consistent rain and strong winds actually turn the island into the perfect surfer's playground.The event, which started in 2021, hopes to entice people to make the most of the island's swells and point breaks, while generating income for island operators during the low periods.It also doesn't hurt to grow the local surf community!

Image via Surf Perhentian (Provided to SAYS)

True enough, from 4 March to 6 March this year, we found ourselves watching new and seasoned surfers alike catching waves on Long Beach in Perhentian Kecil for the very first time

Image via Surf Perhentian (Provided to SAYS)

The event organisers, Persatuan Pengusaha Pelancongan Pulau Perhentian (5P), said Long Beach is an excellent spot to learn to surf.The shallow seabed means students learn in waist-deep water, so it feels safe and easy.The beach break also produces consistent one to three feet-high waves that are great for freshies.Meanwhile, advanced surfers can enjoy higher waves and longer rides farther out at sea.

Other than surfing, there are lots of other fun beach activities to do during the three-day festival

Your non-surfing friends and family (or those who need a break from flopping off of surfboards all day) can also chill on the beach, play volleyball and frisbee, join a relaxing class of yoga, or take a leisurely hike up to Windmill Point for an amazing view of the island.

So, who says you can't surf in Malaysia?
Join Surf Perhentian when it comes back for its next edition in November later this year.

17-Year-Old Lured By Pregnant Woman For Husband To Rape

17-year-old nurse intern Hu Yixuan was drugged and murdered

A 17-year-old Chinese girl was allegedly raped and murdered after helping a pregnant woman who faked an illness to lure her to her husband so he could have sex with a virgin.

        dailymail.co.uk

Pregnant woman lured Hu Yixuan back to her home because her husband wanted to have sex with a virgin

Intern nurse Hu Yixuan offered to help a pregnant woman, known only as Tan, after she appeared to fall in a street in Jiamusi city in China's northeastern Heilongjiang Province.

        ninemsn.com.au

CCTV footage shows Hu walking the pregnant woman home

Last moments: This CCTV footage reportedly shows Hu walking with the pregnant woman under an umbrella to the expectant mother's house after stopping in the street to help her.

Hu Yixuan's yoghurt was spiked with sleeping pills

Hu Yixuan met the pregnant woman's husband at her home, who then offered her yoghurt spiked with sleeping pills. Tan's husband is then accused of trying to rape Hu, but she was conscious enough to fight him off.

        ninemsn.com.au

The couple suffocated her with a quilt before stuffing her body in a suitcase and burying her in a rural area.

Differing opinions on pregnant woman's motive

Dbw's source, however, seemed to differ. “That's not true. She's pregnant, and as they can't have sex, she wanted to find a girl for a man (to have sex with). She's been having that idea for a long time.”

        globalvoicesonline.org

A local policeman told the state media Global Times that the suspects confessed to the abduction as an attempt to make up to the husband for his suspicions that the wife was cheating on him.

        globalvoicesonline.org

The couple have been arrested

The police received a call from the victim's family on July 26 and the couple was arrested two days later. The woman, eight-months pregnant, was put into a hospital.

UMNO MPs Supported Anwar To Be PM & 6 More Things Tajuddin Reveals At Tell-All Press Con

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

Last week, it was revealed that Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman was removed from the UMNO Supreme Council

His removal from the top party position can be seen as a direct result of UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's disapproval of him.Free Malaysia Today reported Zahid as saying that Tajuddin was removed because of his critical attitude towards the party, explaining that while Supreme Council members are allowed to have differing opinions, all decisions finalised by the party's leadership must be complied with.Despite the tension Tajuddin has with the party, the UMNO politician, who is often embroiled in controversy, was appointed as Malaysia's ambassador to Indonesia, a high-salary post that can only be awarded by the Prime Minister.It is worth noting that he has yet to be officially given the post, pending credentials from the Agong as His Majesty was hospitalised for leg pain, reported Malay Mail.Bukit Bendera member of parliament (MP) Wong Hon Wai had warned the Prime Minister against appointing someone in return for their support, something which a political analyst from Universiti Sains Malaysia, Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid, also commented on. He said Tajuddin's appointment can be seen as him being in the pro-Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob camp. The matter surrounding Tajuddin has become an indication that there is a divide in UMNO, namely those who are aligned with Zahid and those who are aligned with Ismail Sabri.With Tajuddin's removal from the UMNO Supreme Council and the rumour of the next general election being around the corner, he has confirmed such a divide exists in the party during a tell-all press conference yesterday, 27 June.

In a rare occasion of speaking ill of his party, here are seven things that Tajuddin revealed on Monday:

1. UMNO members supported Anwar to become the prime minister

Opposition leader and PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

During the press conference, the Pasir Salak MP said at least 15 UMNO lawmakers had signed statutory declarations (SD) to support PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to become the prime minister, reported Malay Mail."I'm a living witness (that UMNO MPs signed the SD). I didn't want to sign at first, but I was urged to," he told reporters at Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur yesterday."After that, they kept saying 'No DAP, No Anwar'. Those are all lies. They were lying to the public and especially UMNO members. I'm basically being sympathetic towards UMNO members who did not know what was happening behind the curtain.""We had to respect the president (Zahid), right? We could not reject the president."According to him, those MPs who signed included Zahid, Pekan MP Datuk Seri Najib Razak, and Padang Rengas MP Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.Following Tajuddin's exposé, Nazri confirmed the signing of the SD, reported The Star.

2. UMNO members tried to topple Zahid from the party president post

The next bombshell that Tajuddin dropped was about an internal movement to remove Zahid from the party president post, reported The Vibes.According to him, the movement was led by deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, who colluded with Najib to organise a meeting in May 2020."We made a memorandum asking Zahid to step down in a proper manner for the sake of UMNO," he said, showing a photo of the meeting to reporters."The meeting was held in May 2020 at my house. Tok Mat (Mohamad Hasan) was there, Najib was there, and (Datuk Seri Mohamed) Khaled Nordin was also there. Many were present.""We concluded it's better for him (Zahid) to step down."He allegedly advised Zahid to focus on his trial rather than positions of power."There are a lot of cases. He doesn't have the capability to care about others. It's better (for him) to focus on his personal problems. Don't burden UMNO with his personal problems," he related.The former non-executive chairman of Prasarana Malaysia Bhd said 130 out of 191 division chiefs wanted Zahid to step down in 2020.The plan failed because Mohamad Hasan backed out, he claimed.

3. Zahid needs to go

During the hour-long press conference, Tajuddin also called on Zahid to step down from the UMNO president post, contending that the latter is a liability to UMNO's survival, reported Malaysiakini."As I said, Zahid has become a liability to UMNO. He cannot be party president and lead the party going into the general election because we will lose," he said."Go and ask what the public thinks, ask the professional people, ask voters... You can even ask UMNO members, but I believe many are scared to speak up because (some) worry that they would not get 'watikah' (appointment letter to contest in the election)."He advised his party president to focus on defending himself in his criminal cases instead, adding that party leaders in the past had relinquished their posts after they were charged."It is time for Zahid. If he loves the party, loves its struggle to let go of the president post."

4. The party should only have one captain

Malaysiakini also reported the Pasir Salak MP as saying that Mohamad Hasan should not succeed Zahid and that the post is best given to the current prime minister."Give the chance (to someone else). Not Tok Mat (Mohamad Hasan) though because... we just don't want the party to be a party with two captains, one on the prime minister's side, and the other on the president's side," he said."This had been the practice since the time of Hussein Onn [and] Mahathir (Mohamad), only one person (holds the position as prime minister and UMNO president). The president and prime minister must be the same person."

5. Ismail Sabri should be the party president and he has the support

Adding to his argument on why the prime minister and the party president should be the same person, Tajuddin said the arrangement is a must, or else the prime minister would be pressured by party members like what is happening today."There is a lot of grassroots support for Ismail to become (the next) UMNO president. We want a president who is clean," Free Malaysia Today reported him as saying.

6. UMNO Supreme Council's meetings are all just 'wayang'

Image via Hari Anggara/Malay Mail

Continuing his spree of bad-mouthing Zahid, Tajuddin accused his party president of holding UMNO Supreme Council meetings just for 'wayang' (show), reported Malaysiakini."He (Zahid) said he is always open and ready to listen to differences in opinion. But is he?" he told reporters."I have been in the Supreme Council a long time. The council's decisions were not really what its members wanted but were actually his (Zahid).""He would let one or two leaders speak during the meeting, and then we decide what he has already planned before the meeting.""And then the party secretary-general would issue a press statement, which has also been prepared beforehand. All already planned. The Supreme Council discussions are only 'wayang'."

7. I am prepared to be kicked out from UMNO

After unveiling so many party secrets, the 74-year-old MP said he is prepared to face the consequences, reported New Straits Times."If they play rough, I can do the same by contesting as an independent candidate (in the next general election)," he said."The majority (votes) that I had got during the previous general election (GE14) increased, although the party at the time was not spared by the political tsunami.""Having said that, after 50 years with the party, my heart is still with UMNO."The Pasir Salak lawmaker also quipped that he might contest under PAS, and the Islamic party's secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan responded to Tajuddin's statement with open arms, reported Bernama.

On 6 June, a tourist who headed to Bali shared his ordeal when he entered the country and was allegedly sent home because of a small tear in his passport.Matt Vandenberg was heading to Bali for a friend's wedding when he was stopped at the Denpasar International Airport. After presenting his passport to immigration, he was pulled aside to the office and informed that he had a 1cm tear in his passport.

According to Vanderberg, the immigration officers were right but he had no idea it was there until they bent the passport all the way back and the tear stood out

"You couldn't see it any other way," he wrote in a Twitter thread that has since gone viral.Vanderberg went on to say that because of the passport tear, he was not allowed into the country and his passport was confiscated until he got on a flight back home to Australia. "I'm not disputing the tear — but it wasn't even noticeable until you bent it back (and immigration officers in Sydney were fine when they scanned it)," he wrote.

Taking the whole experience in stride, he said that he had two officers with him throughout the day who were extremely nice and felt very sorry for him

"[To] be fair, they are the nicest people who could have stuck by my side, feel very, very, very sorry for me — rules are rules," he wrote.

Vanderberg went on to share that he was flying back home that night itself and had an emergency meeting the following morning regarding his passport issue. "Probably a good warning for people travelling to Indonesia – they do not mess around!" he added.In follow-up tweets, he shared the rest of his journey, heading back to Sydney, getting an emergency passport, then heading back to Bali on 9 June."I spent 12 hours in the air, including a red-eye flight (a flight that departs at night and arrives the next morning) and 17 hours in the airport. I am feeling pretty drained," he said.He told news.com.au that the whole ordeal cost him around AUD1,500 (RM4,600), including the original travel expenses.

If you're heading to Bali or travelling soon, here's your reminder to check the state of your passport!

You'll Wish Your Last Work Day Was As Extra As The Farewell For This Apple S'pore Employee

Farewells can be pretty bittersweet, but they don't have to feel like the end of something.
This is probably what this Apple store's employees thought when they planned a celebratory send-off for their colleague.

Image via r/Singapore

In a video posted on Reddit Singapore, a staff member of Singapore's Apple flagship store on Orchard Road can be seen ending his last day of work there on a high note.

Customers at the Apple store watched (and danced!) as the employee walked down a flight of stairs to cheers, applause, and music

Image via r/Singapore

The man hugged and shook hands with his colleagues who stood on the steps, as Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop The Feeling' played in the background.

While the sweet gesture was clearly well-intentioned, netizens joked that Apple's special farewell treatment was also a little anxiety-inducing

Image via r/Singapore

Nevertheless, several Reddit users praised Apple Singapore for making their employees' final days feel like a celebration rather a sad affair.

Pinjaman Wang Daripada 'Ah Long' Bawa Kesan Buruk Kepada Diri Sendiri & Keluarga. Awas!

Desakan hidup di era pandemik Covid-19 telah memberi kesan yang amat mendalam sehinggakan ada yang terpaksa membuat keputusan yang bakal memudaratkan bukan sahaja dirinya malah keluarga tercinta

Pinjaman ‘Ah Long’ selalu merujuk kepada syarikat pinjaman wang yang tidak berlesen. Kebiasaannya, si peminjam Ah Long adalah daripada golongan yang berpendapatan rendah atau yang benar-benar terdesak dan memerlukan wang tunai dengan segera. Perkara ini berlaku kerana berpinjam daripada Ah Long adalah lebih cepat, ringkas dan kebiasaannya tidak memerlukan sebarang pemeriksaan kredit berbanding dengan pinjaman bank atau syarikat pinjaman wang yang berlesen.Tambahan lagi, wang yang dipinjam daripada Ah Long didatangkan dengan faedah dan risiko yang sangat tinggi. Namun begitu, masih ramai yang memandang rendah terhadap risiko tersebut kerana mereka merasakan bahawa selagi jumlah wang yang dipinjam adalah kecil dan dibayar dalam tempoh yang betul, urusan pinjaman wang daripada Ah Long akan berjalan dengan lancar tanpa sebarang masalah.

Ini punca ramai yang terdesak untuk membuat pinjaman wang daripada Ah Long:

Menurut Nasir Mustafa, seorang pakar kewangan menjelaskan ada beberapa sebab utama masyarakat cenderung untuk membuat pinjaman daripada Ah Long dan antaranya adalah: Tidak mempunyai duit sara hidup - Individu yang mungkin tiada berkemampuan dan jatuh dalam  kategori hidup susah tetapi malu atau tidak tahu di mana sepatutnya mereka mendapatkan bantuanMemenuhi kehendak hidup - Individu yang melebihkan kehendak diri. Sebagai contoh sudah ada kereta tetapi nak tukar sportrim. Orang dulu kata tidak ada penyakit tetapi cari penyakit.Perlukan duit tambahan untuk modal perniagaan - Individu yang mempunyai syarikat kecil atau mahu membuka perniagaan kecil tetapi tidak memenuhi syarat piawaian bank kerana tiada penyata bank untuk membuat pinjaman berlesen dan tiada cagaran. Pinjam sebab nak bayar hutang - Individu yang dikenali sebagai gali lubang tutup lubang

Kesan membuat pinjaman wang daripada Ah Long:

Pinjaman Ah Long adalah indah khabar dari rupa. Tidak dinafikan mereka bijak menggunakan kata-kata sehingga boleh membuatkan seorang individu yang terdesak terpedaya dan merasakan dirinya mampu untuk selesaikan pinjaman yang bakal dilakukan itu. Nasir juga sempat berkongsi beberapa sebab mengapa berhutang dengan Ah Long akan memudaratkan kehidupan anda dan keluarga anda.Mengancam nyawa diri dan keluargaJumlah yang perlu dibayar lebih tinggi daripada jumlah yang dipinjamBakal makan diri di masa depanHidup sentiasa takutSeseorang individu boleh jatuh muflis

Setiap orang akan hadapi cabaran demi kelangsungan hidup. Namun begitu, membuat pinjaman Ah Long atau mana-mana peminjam tanpa lesen adalah satu tindakan yang tidak wajar

Jika anda telah terjebak dalam isu ini, segeralah dapatkan bantuan daripada Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) kerana mereka boleh bantu dari segi rundingan, mengurangkan bunga, menghentikan cas pembayaran tersembunyi dan minta tempoh pembayaran dipanjangkan.Semoga perkongsian ini dapat dimanfaatkan bersama.

According to The Edge Malaysia report, Thomas had relentlessly pursued prosecutions related to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal, which are still ongoing.

On the other hand, Dr Mahathir, who resigned as prime minister on Monday only to be appointed as interim Prime Minister by the Agong, has hinted towards a 'Unity Government' void of any party lines.
Here's why such a government might not work in Malaysia:

US Doctors Report That COVID-19 Can Cause Sudden Stroke In Young Adults

Doctors in New York are warning that COVID-19 patients in their 30s and 40s who are not severely ill may develop sudden strokes

According to CNN, the doctors at Mount Sinai Health System have found growing evidence that COVID-19 can cause blood to clot unnaturally in the body, resulting in an increase of stroke in people who don't typically suffer from them.Neurosurgeon Dr Thomas Oxley and his colleagues have treated five of such patients - all of who were under the age of 50 and tested positive for COVID-19 but had mild to no symptoms."The virus seems to be causing increased clotting in the large arteries, leading to severe stroke," said Oxley.According to medical website MedicineNet, a stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when brain cells die due to a sudden lack of oxygen. This can be caused by blockage to blood flow caused by a clot or rupture of an artery to the brain.

The doctors explain that it is not at all common for people so young to have strokes, especially in such large vessels

However, they have already seen five patients in the past two weeks, instead of the usual average of less than two patients a month."Our report shows a sevenfold increase in incidence of sudden stroke in young patients during the past two weeks. Most of these patients have no past medical history and were at home with either mild symptoms or no symptoms of COVID-19," Oxley told CNN."All tested positive. Two of them delayed calling an ambulance," he added.At least one of them has died while the others are in rehabilitation facilities, intensive care, or the stroke unit. Only one has gone home but still requires intense care.

Oxley said his team wanted to inform people to seek immediate medical help if they notice themselves developing the unexpected symptoms of stroke

He gave an easy memory device called 'FAST' for these neurological signs:F - Face droopingA - Arm weaknessS - Speech difficultyT - Time to call 999The doctor explained it is aptly named so because clot retrieval - the most effective treatment for these large vessel strokes - has to be performed within six hours from when these symptoms occur.

Doctors from other specialties have also begun to notice blood clots in different organs of their COVID-19 patients

The New York Times also reported that specialists from other departments of Mount Sinai have seen evidence of blood clots in their patients' lungs and kidneys.A nephrologist has reported that his patients' kidney dialysis catheters were getting plugged with clots, while some pulmonologists taking care of patients on mechanical ventilators could see portions of their lungs were bloodless.As they pool their observations, it is reported that COVID-19 patients in the hospital now receive high doses of blood-thinning drugs even before evidence of clotting appears.

Doctors around the world have been observing patterns in patients infected by the virus:

'Malaysia Street': Road In Palestine Renamed In Conjunction With Malaysia's National Day

A road in Palestine has been renamed 'Malaysia Street', located just off Ansar roundabout in the west of Gaza

In a tweet by the Palestinian Cultural Organisation Malaysia (PCOM) chairman Muslim Imran, the road was renamed to commemorate "Malaysia's independence day" yesterday, 31 August.A newly-erected signage paid tribute to Malaysia, and celebrated our nation's solidarity with Palestine."Malaysia has an important role in supporting the Palestinian cause," it read, adding, "Malaysia calls for an end to the Israeli occupation and granting (sic) the Palestinian people all their rights.""It also rejects (sic) normalisation with the Israeli occupation."

Image via @muslimbinimran (Twitter)

The unveiling ceremony was also attended by representatives of both countries, including heads of Malaysian aid organisations

In a posting on Facebook, CEO of Cinta Gaza Malaysia, Nadir Al-Nuri waxed lyrical about the name-change, saying it was an immense honour for Malaysia to receive such a gift on our 64th National Day."A piece of Palestine now bears the name of our country," he wrote.He elaborates that 'Malaysia Street' sits on one of the important throughways in Gaza, where many universities, government buildings, and even international agencies are based.Nadir says that the ceremony was also attended by the Mayor of Gaza, Dr. Yahya As-Sarraj, as well as the director of MyCare – another Malaysian humanitarian mission – Dr Ziad Shehadah.

Ku Li Paints A Bleak Picture Of Malaysia

UMNO stalwart and Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said that the sad truth about Malaysia is that we are not a nation

The Umno Gua Musang federal lawmaker said Malaysia's efforts to build a nation are "nothing to shout about" as political leaders keep on "parroting in a mantra-like manner" that Malaysia is a nation. "We are not, and that is the sad truth."

        themalaysianinsider.com

The Kelantan prince, fondly known as Ku Li, in his keynote address at the National Unity Conference today, 16 September, said that we "make believe" that we are a nation. "The reality is that we are not."

Image via TMI

"Our mismanagement of the sport has led to the drying up of talents. Gone are the days when such idols as Chandran, Mat Che Su, Soh Chin Aun, Mokhtar Dahari, Santokh Singh and Ghani Minhat struck fear in our opponents. The same goes for our field hockey.We used to be in the top four in the sport, but now our hockey performances are just as lackadaisical as many other sports that we involve ourselves in. Given that sports are an effective tool to cultivate unity and, by extension, to build nations, this regression is a blow we can do without.The other negative development that is sagging our morale is the indifferent economic performance and in particular, the value of the ringgit that continues to drop.Countries that used to lag behind us such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar are now beginning to draw away foreign investments from our country."

        themalaysianinsider.com

Furthermore, he remarked that Malaysia's first PM Tunku Abdul Rahman wanted a country where the separation of powers between the executive, judiciary and legislative were practised. However, with executive often been browbeaten by the head of government, and a weakened judiciary perceived to be less effective, the nation has been "badly let down" by the three branches of government.

Image via TMI

"With regards to the legislature, it is not unknown that matters which are within the purview of the Dewan Rakyat had often been discussed by the executive committee of the ranking party within the coalition forming the government of the day,” he said in his keynote address at a conference on national unity in Kuala Lumpur today.Later, Tengku Razaleigh told reporters that interference in the three branches of governance has been taking place quite often lately."It never happened last time, but now, we can see lots of it happening, repeatedly," he said without going into details. "I feel we should give serious attention to this and it should be discussed, but the decision should be made at the appropriate level."

        themalaysianinsider.com

Commenting on increasing corruption in Malaysian politics, the Gua Musang MP said, "It would seem that honour has deserted our leaders and insatiable greed for wealth has taken over its place."
Additionally, he also said that Malaysians live a compartmentalised life and have a lackadaisical attitude towards the ethos and worldview of Malaysians who are not of the same ethnicity as them.

Much as we hate to admit it, we live a compartmentalised life. This is compounded by the pluralistic nature of our society and our lackadaisical attitude towards the ethos and worldview of Malaysians who are not of the same ethnicity as us.In the end, unless we come from a family background that includes the presence of interracial marriage, we will not be able to understand their philosophy of life or their worldview or their attitudes and aspirations.We will not be able to come as one and develop a Malaysian culture made up of the cultural traits of our various and diverse racial make-up. Our inability to evolve a Malaysian culture has a negative effect on nation building for culture is a key element in such a process.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Image via TMI

In his keynote address, the veteran UMNO leader also pointed out how the Malays have conveniently forgotten that other races in Malaysia have equally contributed to the country's development

Ladies and gentlemen, much as I hate to say this, I think the Malays must admit that they have a blinkered view regarding other Malaysian communities.As Malays we are proud to think of ourselves as democrats; but we forget the very essence of democracy which promises equality to everyone. We forget that democracy is government by the people as a whole rather than by any section, class or interest within it.In our desire to remain on top of things, we conveniently forget that our other Malaysians have contributed more than their fair share in the service of the country. We choose to forget that there are other Malaysians who, upon coming to these fair shores, adapted and assimilated themselves into the dominant native culture.We choose to forget that there are other Malaysians who accepted the Malay hierarchical stacking order with the ruler at the apex; and that this harmony had convinced the British that we were ready for independence.But the Malays, to my mind, are short on confidence and this makes us a scared lot especially in our relationship and interaction with other Malaysians.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In a harsh assessment of the community which formed 50% of the country's 30 million population, Ku Li said the Malays are given to jealousy and are not above harbouring ill will among themselves

Image via TMI

We are even given to jealousy and are not above harbouring ill will among ourselves. This has become a marked characteristic of the Malay psyche which, unfortunately, has found its way into politics.It is quite normal for religion to be used in Malay politics in an effort to attract mass support. Given that Malay values are generally derived from Islamic values, this is not unusual.The sad thing is that a religious issue is sometimes given different explanations by ulamas to suit their political leanings. These, more often than not, lead to confusion.It does not help that these religious scholars sometimes do not fully explain the backgrounds to such issues which leave those who are not familiar with the intricacy of the religion having wrong ideas about it.It is therefore time that the ulamas addressed issues of religious concern with clarity and avoid the confusion that befuddles the people.More importantly, these ulamas cannot, willy-nilly, make religious pronouncements which are in effect fatwas. Such an authoritative ruling of Islamic law can only be made with the assent of the Sultan who is the head of Islam for his state.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Meanwhile, the veteran Umno leader is mystified by today's 'Red Shirt' rally, which is supposedly held to unite the Malays against threats, saying he is in the dark over the nature of these threats

Umno stalwart and Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said he does not know where the perceived threats to Malays are coming from.This is a major rationale for the Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu rally today in Kuala Lumpur.

        malaysiakini.com

Tengku Razaleigh pointed out that the Malay community holds senior positions in the government and civil service.
"You have got the government that is headed by a Malay, state governments headed by Malays with the exception of one in Penang. The civil service is mostly made up of Malays," he said.

Image via Malaysiakini

"It's perceived threats, what threats (they are referring to) I do not know," he told reporters after delivering his keynote address at a conference on national unity in Kuala Lumpur today."Malaysia needs unity so that we can be successful."

Idris Jusoh Issues Clarification Over 13 UPNM Students Allowed To Resume Their Studies

Higher Education Minister Idris Jusoh on Saturday, 17 June, issued a clarification over his previous statements about allowing 13 UPNM students to resume their studies

According to a report in Bernama, the Higher Education Minister clarified that the 13 UPNM students allowed to continue their education were released on court bond and were NOT subjected to any charge in the murder case of Navy cadet Zulfarhan.

In his statement, the Higher Education Minister said the confusion arose as there were two groups of 13 students

The confusion among the public regarding the matter arose as there were two groups of students that he had mentioned previously, Bernama quoted Idris as saying.

Idris was quoted by Bernama, saying:

"The first group were the ones charged under the Penal Code. They were granted temporary bail while waiting for trial. These students have been suspended from the university and the management is processing their suspension."The second group of students are those who have been released on a court bond and were not charged by the authorities. These are the students who were granted permission to pursue their education."

The Higher Education Minister added that these 13 students, who were not charged in the case and would serve as witnesses, will be given psychological support

LG Unveils A TV That You Can Literally Roll Up Like A Piece Of Paper

Imagine the scene:
You're about to move house and you've got a gigantic 110-inch TV to carefully ferry across town to your new home, so you just roll it up like a poster and shove it into the back of your van!
According to LG, this could be a reality by 2017.

The screens are so flexible, each can be rolled up tightly to a radius of just 1.2 inches without affecting the display at all
Image via bbcimg.co.uk

The Korean electronics manufacturer unveiled a new kind of big-screen display that is ultra-thin and rolls up, and it expects to put the tech into TVs by 2017.

        mashable.com

While flexible displays have been around for years, LG Display has taken the concept up a couple of notches with these two new 18-inch OLED panels,  each with 1,200 x 800 resolution

LG’s display division yesterday announced two new types of panels, a rollable 18-inch OLED panel and an 18-inch transparent OLED panel. LG claims that the rollable display has a resolution of 1200 x 810, with almost 1 million mega-pixels. The panel can also be rolled up to a radius of 3cm without affecting the quality of the display.

        forbes.com

The OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology used in the LG display screens is apparently thinner, lighter, and more flexible than conventional LCDs. And, besides being unbreakable, bendable displays can easily curve to walls or compartments.

        cnet.com

Today, big-screen TVs are often shipped via cargo services since they're too big to be delivered affordably by regular mail

A roll-up set could have a tremendous impact on TV shipping and storage. Flexible TVs could be delivered in tubes.

        mashable.com

One of the displays is even transparent. Again, this isn't the first transparent screen, but LG says it's achieved an impressive 30% transmittance, which is a step up from the 10% transmittance of previous transparent screens based on LCD tech.

This 18-inch OLED panel from LG Display is both flexible and transparent. It has 30% transmittance, a big improvement over the 10% transmittance of current LCD tech, LG says.
Image via mshcdn.com

The new transparent OLED panel is said to have a 30 percent transmittance, or clarity, which is far more than the usual 10 percent transmittance of existing transparent LCD panels, according to LG. The company also said it has significantly lowered the amount of haze in the panel.

        cnet.com

That means users will be able to see objects behind the display more clearly, which could be useful in some situations.

        mashable.com

LG says that it achieved this by adopting the company’s transparent pixel design technology and incorporating it into the new display.

        forbes.com

LG hopes that it will be able to combine the two new technologies and launch a TV that's both rollable and transparent by 2017

Byung Kang, senior vice president of LG, said “ We are confident that by 2017 we will successfully develop an Ultra HD flexible and transparent OLED panel of more than 60 inches, which will have transmittance of more than 40% and a curvature radius of 100R”.

        forbes.com

However, head of corporate PR, Jean Lee told me that more work needs to be done before the product can be commercialised: “We expect that it should take time to see the products in market because all related components should also be fully ready.”

        forbes.com

LG isn't the only company working on transparent and bendable displays. Samsung, Nokia, and even Apple have been working on flexible smartphone and tablet screens for years now.

But LG has been on the forefront of cutting-edge panel development. LG was able to build the bodacious bendy displays by using a polymer as the backplane of the panel instead of conventional plastic. The polymer both increased the flexibility of the OLED panel and reduced its thickness.

        cnet.com

It debuted a flexible smartphone, the G Flex, earlier this year and unveiled a 77-inch flexible OLED TV during the Consumer Electronics Show in January.

New Talk Of The Implementation Of Hudud In Kelantan You'd Be Interested In

Umno Said It Will Back The Proposal To Implement Islamic Capital Punishment, Or Hudud, In Kelantan

Former Kelantan Umno deputy chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa described the introduction of hudud in the state as timely, and pointed out that neighbouring Brunei had already implemented the law.

The sole Barisan Nasional MP who voiced his support for the implementation of hudud in Kelantan has now asked PAS and its Pakatan Rakyat coalition members, especially PKR, to be on the same page before bringing the matter up in Parliament.

        fz.com

“The matters of religion are under the state’s jurisdiction, hence we need to unite to make Allah the supreme law of the state,” the Ketereh MP.

        thestar.com.my

Kelantan Syariah Court Chief Judge Datuk Daud Muhammad Said Several Provisions Must Be Fulfilled

Daud said that there was sufficient infrastructure to enable the court to carry out the punishments. However he said several provisions must be fulfilled, including appointing special judges, accurately following hudud requirements, and obtaining the state’s consent to enforce the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code (II) Enactment 1993.

The State Government Has Allocated RM1 Million For The Implementation Of Hudud Next Year

Following Daud's statement, Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said the state had already formed a technical committee to study the implementation of hudud, without explaining its functions.

        yahoo.com

PAS's Vice-President Fuziah Salleh Noted That Kelantan Can Only Start Enforcing Hudud After The Country's Supreme Law Is Amended

“To amend, we need a majority vote. The hudud enactment in Kelantan cannot be implemented as long as the Constitution is not amended. So, if the minister said so, we welcome it... we debate."

        themalaymailonline.com

Hudud Deals With Capital Punishments For Serious Crimes Under The Shariah

In Islamic law or Sharia, hudud usually refers to the class of punishments that are fixed for certain crimes that are considered to be "claims of God." They include theft, fornication and adultery (zina), consumption of alcohol or other intoxicants, and apostasy.

UiTM Cadang Buat Konvokesyen Stail 'Green Screen' Sebab PKPP, Pelajar Luah Rasa Sedih!

Istiadat konvokesyen merupakan satu majlis yang berprestij dan disambut secara meriahnya di setiap universiti

Majlis Konvokesyen diadakan bagi memberi pengiktirafan dan penghargaan kepada para graduan yang berjaya menamatkan pengajian mereka.

Istiadat ini sememangnya akan menjadi antara hari yang bersejarah buat mereka yang bergelar pelajar di institut pengajian tinggi. Manakan tidak, selepas penat mengharungi pelbagai cabaran dan dugaan di samping ada yang berhempas pulas tidak tidur malam bagi menyiapkan tugasan demi tugasan untuk mendapatkan segulung ijazah, hari istiadat ini merupakan hari yang ditunggu-tunggu.

Walau bagaimanapun, ekoran wabak Covid-19 yang telah melanda dunia beberapa bulan yang lalu, semua negara kini mengamalkan langkah berjaga-jaga demi mengelak virus pandemik itu daripada terus merebak.

Amalan norma baharu juga menghalang sebarang majlis keramaian serta perhimpunan beramai-ramai daripada diadakan walaupun Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Pemulihan (PKPP) sedang dijalankan. Perkara ini termasuklah istiadat konvekesyen bagi pelajar universiti.

Baru-baru ini tular di laman sosial, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) mencadangkan agar istiadat konvokesyen dijalankan menggunakan kaedah 'green screen'

Menerusi perkongsian beberapa individu di laman Twitter, istiadat konvokesyen stail 'temu janji' yang dicadangkan UiTM untuk pelajar diploma dan ijazah itu ternyata menyaksikan ramai yang sebenarnya tidak bersetuju dengannya.

who came up with the idea of Convocation UiTM tangkap gambar kat greenscreen edit chancellor kat sebelah i just wanna talk pic.twitter.com/K70UfCKoe3— Nadzrin Nadzer (@NadzrinIqbal) June 25, 2020

Dalam video rakaman yang telah dimuat naik di laman itu turut dipaparkan cara step-by-step istiadat konvokesyen yang telah dicadangkan universiti berkenaan. Melalui video tersebut, dapat dilihat pelajar serta ibu bapa perlu melalui proses saringan Covid-19 terlebih dahulu sebelum dibenarkan memasuki kampus. Pelajar kemudiannya akan mengambil dan memakai terus jubah konvokesyen lalu merakam gambar di hadapan green screen yang telah disediakan.

Hello UiTM students yang nak grad, UiTM ada plan nak buat konvo kita dalam bentuk appointment atau green screen. Jemput tengok video ni untuk lebih faham :') pic.twitter.com/fm1fxFsf4x— izzi (@IzzRaifHarz) June 24, 2020

Kemudiannya, imej pelajar beserta dengan Canselor atau Naib Canselor yang telah di-edit akan diberikan kepada pelajar menerusi cetakan gambar, salinan digital serta dihantar melalui alamat e-mail. Selain itu, pelajar juga diberi masa untuk bergambar bersama ahli keluarga di ruangan yang telah disediakan sebelum memulangkan semula jubah konvokesyen.

(cont)So what do you guys think about this method? Agree or not?  pic.twitter.com/b4p9DqJ38B— izzi (@IzzRaifHarz) June 24, 2020

Difahamkan istiadat konvokesyen 'temu janji' ini hanyalah sekadar cadangan yang diberi pihak UiTM buat graduan-graduan bagi tahun 2020. Satu survey telah dikeluarkan universiti berprestij berkenaan bagi mendapat maklum balas daripada para graduan.

Cara konvo ni mungkin akan diadakan untuk sesi konvokesyen yang sepatutnya berlangsung sepanjang 2020. You guys yang terlibat boleh isi survey ni utk nyatakan hasrat nak join ke tak & sebab.Survey ni start harini sampai 30th June 2020 saja tau!! https://t.co/UHAbqE3oV1— izzi (@IzzRaifHarz) June 24, 2020

Meskipun begitu, menerusi tinjauan di laman Twitter mendapati ramai pelajar yang meluahkan rasa dukacita dan menolak cadangan istiadat konvokesyen dijalankan dengan cara sebegini

Ternyata ramai yang lebih rela istiadat ini ditunda kepada masa yang lebih sesuai dan selamat buat semua. Rata-rata ingin merasakan sendiri kemeriahan istiadat konvokesyen setelah berpenat-lelah menamatkan pengajian mereka.Antara komen daripada netizen:

You’ve Nailed The Science Of Shopping At Premium Outlets #LikeAPro When...

1. You have the eyes of a hawk to precisely spot the items you want from a distance

Image via the coding love

2. Your pre-shopping gameplan includes extensive research

Image via Giphy

How are you supposed to know how legit the savings are if you don't check how much the things you want actually cost at regular retail stores?

3. Which also means that you're more well informed than the salespeople

Image via Tumblr

4. You have absolutely no self-control or willpower, even after already buying everything on your wishlist

Expectation:

Image via Tumblr

Reality:

Image via Hexjam

You can't just buy a cute new dress without getting a new bag and pair of heels to go with it, DUH!

5. Your stamina levels are off the charts...

Image via Odyssey

6. ...but you end up having to shop alone cause no one can keep up with you

Image via Odyssey

On the plus side, this means that you can shop in peace without having to put up with your friend's/significant other's/child's constant whining that they're bored and tired. #YAAAAS

7. And you end up completely burnt out by the end of the day

Image via Giphy

Post-shopping comas are a thing okay?

8. You know that your collection will never be complete because you'll always want more

Image via Tumblr

9. You know how to plan out the most efficient route that allows for maximum outlet coverage with minimum effort

Image via Tumblr

The directory map is your ultimate weapon and guide, only amateurs don't utilize it to make the most out of one shopping trip.

10. You're a budgeting expert...

Image via (IX) Daily

Knowing how much to save from your paycheck so that you can have optimal shopping money is essential!

11. ...but you get so emotionally attached to items that you end up buying everything and killing your budget all in one go

Image via Giphy

Don't listen to anyone who says you spend too much on stuff you don't need. They just DON'T. GET. IT.

But when it comes down to it, you wouldn't have it any other way!

Students Eager To Learn More About University Courses At The Jom Masuk IPT Programme

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

Students can look forward to learning more about higher education institutions with Jom Masuk IPT

Image via NST

Located at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, it is an educational programme held during the Aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia (AKM) event until 12 December.There are 20 public universities involved in the programme, which also includes talkshows, performances, and lucky draws for students.

20-year-old Nadhira Azahira, a diploma student currently undergoing her final year at Politeknik Nilai in Negeri Sembilan, said the event provided useful information to help her decide which university she should apply to

"I was told by my friends there would be a programme for students here. True enough, at this event, I was able to speak to university representatives."The university that I am considering also set up a booth at the event, and I managed to ask questions about their courses."This is much better than browsing through the Internet. Since I will spend the next four years at university, this programme gives me an opportunity to consider all the available options out there, even though I already have a list of universities to apply to," she said.

Another 20-year old, Afham Ahmad, was on the lookout for universities to pursue his degree

"It is still too early for me to apply, as I am still undergoing my diploma at a private university, but it wouldn’t hurt to check out what universities have to offer such as scholarships and other programmes."What I am looking for is to learn more about the universities through their representatives here, as this would help me plan my education."So far, there are more public universities here, such as Universiti Malaya, which is one of the top institutions in the country. So, I would like to know more about them," he said.

Major Noorasma Ahmad, the representative from Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM), said after two years of  curbs on physical events due to the COVID-19, the AKM event gave universities a platform to engage with potential students

"We have several physical activities the students must partake in, and because of the pandemic, we are facing challenges to get them to undergo the necessary activities."Starting today, UPNM has two booths, one for the intake of cadets and another for normal intake students."We would like advise students who are hoping to apply to UPNM especially as a cadet to be ready both physically and mentally, as we are considered as one of the frontliners of the country."I would like to encourage everyone to visit our booths to learn more about UPNM. We are prepared for any questions," she said.

Associate Professor Dr Aini Jaapar, the higher education pre-diploma programme director of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), said the event would help tertiary institutions provide detailed information to  prospective students

"The event gives an opportunity for UiTM to promote all our programmes for people from all walks of life. We would explain what courses, scholarships, and assistance are available at the university."We are so happy and blessed that we are able to meet with the public and we can help candidates to register with UiTM for the March 2022 intake," she said.

Visitors interested in the Jom Masuk IPT programme can attend the event until 10pm on Sunday, 12 December.
Those who prefer to participate virtually can also visit Kemasukan BPKP JPT on Facebook.

"Saya Tak Tahan Lagi. Saya Mahu Pindah" - Catatan Dan Diari Akhir Thaqif Sebelum Pergi

Semalam, seluruh rakyat Malaysia bersedih atas pemergian adik Mohamad Thaqif Amin, 11, pelajar sekolah tahfiz yang akhirnya menemui ajal setelah menderita akibat dipukul oleh pembantu warden di sekolahnya

Sebelum pemergiannya, Mohamad Thaqif telah menjalani pembedahan pada kedua-dua belah kakinya disebabkan darah beku dan jangkitan kuman yang telah merebak ke buah pinggang.Bagaimanapun, dia tidak mampu bertahan dan akhirnya meghembuskan nafas terakhir kira-kira jam 2.05 petang semalam di Hospital Sultan Ismail semasa keluarganya sedang membaca doa untuknya.

Laporan Harian Metro semalam memberitahu bahawa bapanya Mohd Gaddafi Mat Karim, 43 menemui beberapa nota kecil Thaqif yang ditulis dan dilekatkan di dalam Al-Quran miliknya

Catatan tersebut dipercayai dibuat ketika Allahyarham mula mendaftar di sekolah tahfiz di Kota Tinggi, Johor, Januari lalu dan catatan itu diserahkan kepada Exco Pemuda UMNO Malaysia, Dazma Shah Daud yang menziarahi Allahyarham di Hospital Sultan Ismail (HSI), 1 tengah hari semalam.Dalam catatan tersebut Allahyarham seolah-olah memberi semangat kepada diri sendiri dengan menulis "Saya mahu jadi Huffaz dalam masa dua tahun. Saya pasti saya boleh. Kau boleh Thaqif."Selain itu, Allahyarham juga ada menulis cara-cara untuk menjadi Huffaz antaranya "...dengar cakap ibu, jaga solat lima waktu, dan menghafal surah yang senang-senang dahulu."

Image via Funny Malaysian/Twitter

Selain itu, catatan terkahir diari Allahyarham juga turut dijumpai. Dalam catatan tersebut Thaqif berhasrat untuk berpindah sekolah kerana telah ditumbuk tanpa sebab.

Thaqif juga berdoa agar tuhan membukakan pintu hati ibu bapa dan gurunya untuk membenarkannya menukar sekolah.

Image via Funny Malaysian/Twitter

Thaqif telah selamat dikebumikan di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Felda Bukit Aping Timur, Kota Tinggi tengah malam tadi.

Salam takziah diucapkan buat semua ahli keluarga Allahyarham dan semoga Allahyarham tenang di sana.
Al-Fatihah...
