[PHOTOS] 30-Year-Old House Gets Modern Makeover Into Beautiful Minimalist Home

An old rundown house in Kuala Lumpur was recently given a new lease of life

Situated on a hillside with an amazing view of the city skyline, local architect Fabian Tan decided to turn a typical 30-year-old terrace house into a beautifully modern, minimalist dream home.

Image via Fabian Tan (Provided to SAYS)

The 2,200sqft house was formerly unremarkable — it had a long driveway, too many walls, and dark interiors.

Image via Fabian Tan (Provided to SAYS)

So, Tan created space and found a fresh aesthetic for the new home

The architect told SAYS that he designed the house with a young couple in mind."The brief was to accommodate a place that will provide a calm, simple lifestyle," he said.

Tan devised a design strategy on the idea of 'extensions'

He said he altered and extended parts of the house, from the courtyard to the living room, to give it many wide open areas and garden spaces.

With the floor-to-ceiling windows and countless skylights, these long stretches of indoor space allows for an abundance of fresh air and natural light to go through the house.

He also gave the bedrooms on the first floor a sense of extension by adding windows through the walls

Not wasting any space, Tan also made an extra study loft under the roof

It was an unused floor slab where an old water tank sat on.

However, our favourite spot of all has to be the 'hidden' open deck on the rooftop

With a dipping pool against the backdrop of the KL city skyline, the deck cannot be seen from street view and makes an ideal place for a barbecue or to hangout with friends.

Tun M: The National School Has Become A Religious School And It's Time For A Change

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who was speaking at his alma mater Sultan Abdul Hamid College's (SAHC) annual dinner last night in Kuala Lumpur, announced that the overhaul of the school syllabus is needed to reduce the current focus on religious studies

Tun Dr Mahathir said the focus on religion has caused students ill-equipped to get jobs.Therefore, the Prime Minister has vowed to change the school syllabus to cut back on religious classes and to improve school-leavers' employability in the market."We will still study religion, but it will not be a whole day period as we do not want students to only know how to recite prayers but lack knowledge in other subjects."We need to master all the other subjects because if we want to progress, Malaysians must be well educated, not only in baca doa (reciting prayers)..."So the school curriculum will be changed and modified so that now we will have national schools that will teach everybody all the important subjects that will be useful for them when they mature and become independent individuals," he said last night.

Image via Yusof Mat Isa/Malay Mail

He lamented that national schools have become religious schools

"Someone changed the curriculum in the school, and now the national school has become a religious school."They are all learning about the religion of Islam and not learning anything else. And as a result, the graduates or the people who are passing in the school are not very conversant in things that are useful for them to get jobs, but they are very good ulama."And then you have too many ulama, they always differ from each other and then they mislead their followers and they quarrel with each other."That is the problem we face now. And because of that, we are going to change the timetable, curriculum in the schools," the Prime Minister said, adding that, "We will still study religion, but not all periods in one day, maybe one or two periods in a week."

He emphasised on the need to master all other subjects

"Because if we want to progress, Malaysians must be well-educated, not only in reciting Quran but also in other languages. If we don't, we are going to be very backward," he said, adding that the country is currently going through a difficult phase and needs development which requires well-educated people who are able to interact with others."We have to work very hard in order to catch up with other people."And although we have to say our prayers, we also need to spend a good time on mastering all the other subjects that are taught in the school," he added.

Image via Malaysiakini

Tun Dr Mahathir also encouraged Malaysians to master their command over English saying that learning "the language of knowledge" would not diminish their Malay or Malaysian identity

"English is not just for English people. English is a universal language."Yes, the Japanese and Chinese use their own languages but if you ask them if they use their own language totally, their answer is that when studying Science and Mathematics, you must use English," he said adding that it's crucial for acquiring new knowledge.In his speech, he also said that while Malaysians were formerly known to have a good command of the English language, students today have a poor grasp of English and the general quality of schools had been "downgraded" over the years."It's not that we are less Malay or Malaysian when we insist on mastering English. If we are truly good Malaysians, we will want to impress people with our mastery of English."

Guy Shows The 'Correct' Way To Open Mangosteens That Won't Make A Mess

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

Mangosteens are probably one of the most addictive fruits to enjoy. But one downside is that they can cause quite a mess at times.

Image via lowa wata thorathuru/YouTube

If not carefully handled, the inner layer of the fruit's purplish rind can get all over your hands and stain clothes easily.But this method of opening mangosteens just might prevent that.

A guy recently showed how he opens mangosteens without making a mess

In a viral TikTok, Pojanahayat explains that people normally squeeze or knock the fruit until it opens which he says is not the "right" way.

Image via @pojanahayat (TikTok)

Instead, he demonstrates a 'kampung method', which is to press the mangosteen's top green bit slightly downwards

Image via @pojanahayat (TikTok)

In the video, the fruit then splits open easily, without squishing or getting stains everywhere.

Image via @pojanahayat (TikTok)

He then peels off the outer layer and retrieves the whole fruit intact.

And then pops the entire thing into his mouth!

Image via @pojanahayat (TikTok)

Several Malaysians took to the comments expressing how in all of their years of living, this is the first time they've seen someone open mangosteens this way

US Study Predicts Malaysia May Record A Total Of 26,000 COVID-19 Deaths By September

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

Malaysia's COVID-19 death toll may hit 26,000 by September, a study by the University of Washington projected

According to Bernama, the projection was made by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) — an independent population health research centre that is part of the University of Washington — based on the current trajectory of COVID-19 related deaths reported in Malaysia.The study, which involved not only Malaysia but other countries as well, was last updated on the independent global health research centre's website on Thursday, 27 May.This indicates that the estimated number will be around nine times the recent cumulative death toll nationwide, which is 2,993 deaths recorded as of yesterday, 2 June.Professor Datuk Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman said the study also predicted that the daily death rate would rise to almost 200 cases towards the end of August.Dr Adeeba — a World Health Organization (WHO) Science Council member — said, "COVID-19 is set to be the second-highest cause of death in Malaysia after heart attack."She discussed the study in a Sinar Harian programme hosted by veteran journalist Tan Sri Johan Jaaffar that was aired live yesterday.

The IHME website indicated that the prediction took into consideration six factors of change in mortality that have occurred since the pandemic was first reported to have started in December 2019

The elements taken into account include:1. The total COVID-19 death rate, that is, all deaths directly related to COVID-19 infection.2. The increase in mortality due to needed healthcare being delayed or deferred during the pandemic.3. The increase in mortality due to increases in mental health disorders including depression, increased alcohol use, and increased opioid use.4. The reduction in mortality due to decreases in injuries because of general reductions in mobility associated with social distancing mandates.5. The reductions in mortality due to reduced transmission of other viruses, most notably influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and measles.6. The reductions in mortality due to some chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory disease, that occur when frail individuals who would have died from these conditions died earlier from COVID-19 instead.

Adeeba highlighted that the fight against COVID-19 in the country is something that all Malaysians should be involved in, especially by complying with the rules of the current lockdown

She mentioned that the current nationally mandated Movement Control Order (MCO) is the most important battlefield in the fight to curb the rising number of COVID-19 positive cases and COVID-19 related deaths reported daily."We should take this MCO to really reflect, strategise, and reset. Make plans that we can carry forward while awaiting the complete vaccine rollout," said Adeeba, who is also the chairman of the Malaysian AIDS Foundation.She added, "I don't think we can afford to have MCO 5.0 anymore."She also revealed that the public trust in the country's leadership during these difficult times is a key component in managing the country's COVID-19 infection and death rate.

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


What Should You Do At A Malay Wedding As A Respectful, Responsible Guest?

Many, especially the non-Malays (like me), are pretty much clueless on how to prepare for and what should be expected from Malay weddings. So, here are some pointers:

1. First things first, Muslim weddings are usually divided into 2 segments - akad nikah (solemnisation ceremony) and majlis bersanding (reception)

Akad Nikah
Image via Catatan Fuzah

The akad nikah, which is the actual wedding ceremony, is typically held early in the day at the bride's parents' home or at a local mosque. The ceremony is officiated by a kadi (Muslim marriage official) or imam (Muslim priest) and usually, only close friends and family are invited.

Adat bersanding.

The solemnisation ceremony will be followed by the majlis bersanding and wedding reception in the afternoon, which are usually held in community centre halls, multi-purpose halls, void decks of apartment blocks, or the yard/garden of a residence. There is no fixed itinerary apart from the bride and groom's appearance on the pelamin (bridal dais) and cultural performances (if any), so guests may come and go as they please within a certain time period. Some couples may opt to hold an evening reception instead, which is typically held in restaurants, hotel ballrooms, or country clubs. Evening receptions are a more formal affair, with a set multiple course dinner with fewer guests invited.

Image via MZH Function Centre

So... which one should you attend?

Most wedding invitations will only note the details of the reception although, in some cases, details of the akad nikah will also be included. Majority of people will only attend the reception, because - as stated above - the exchange of marriage vows is usually witnessed by a smaller crowd that includes family members and occasionally, close friends. However, if you would like to attend the wedding ceremony, do ask the person who gave you the invitation if it is alright to do so. You should also take note that the dress code for an akad nikah ceremony is a bit more muted and conservative. In the event that the ceremony is held in a mosque, female guests are advised to cover their heads and dress decently.

2. Malay-Muslim wedding receptions seem to go by a "the more the merrier" concept, where literally every relative, acquaintance, colleague etc. is invited. So you are free to bring along some company if you wish... within reason.

Image via Instagram @mohd_ahlong

Responding to an invitation and attending the wedding is seen as a sign of respect and support for the newly-weds, and families of the married couple are honoured by anyone's attendance to the joyous occasion. Depending on what is stated in your invitation card, you can bring along a partner and even your family members and friends to the reception. That doesn't mean you should bring a busload of people with you unless they were formally invited to the reception as well. When in doubt, clarify with the person who invited you to the wedding! Also, do ask the bride/groom or the person who invited you if it's alright to bring along additional uninvited guests. This is especially important if it's a dinner reception held in a hotel or restaurant where there are limited seats and space available. If you are unable to make it, do let your host know instead of being a no-show on the day of the event.

3. There are 3 basic rules to the dress code - wear modestly, appropriately, and comfortably. A smart casual look works just fine and you also want to be comfortable enough to breathe in after stuffing yourself full with food. ;p

Image via Azlan DuPree / Flickr

Afternoon receptions can get pretty hot and stuffy, especially if they are held in venues without air-conditioning such as community halls and void decks. For women, you can opt to wear a traditional baju kurung or anything that is decent and conservative. This goes without saying - refrain from wearing shorts or skirts/dresses that are above knee length or tops that show too much cleavage. If you are attending the solemnisation ceremony, you are advised to wrap a scarf over your head.Traditionally, Malay men wear baju Melayu with a songkok and songket, but a simple long or short-sleeved shirt with some long pants and covered shoes would suffice.If you are invited to a dinner reception instead, a formal dress code is implied, so you can dress as fancy as you'd like! Also, unlike Chinese weddings where the colour black is frowned upon, you can wear whatever colour you like to a Malay wedding... so go crazy (but not too crazy)!

Find the right ensemble if you don't have any traditional wear to sport. Maybe a scarf and a long skirt will do the trick in recreating that baju kurung look. Take a look at the Stylebop coupons that will save you some time and money that will help you achieve that!

4. You're not exactly expected to bring any form of wedding gifts, but guests typically contribute a cash token kept in an envelope or green/red packet

Image via 纯粹闲话

The amount you give is entirely up to you and sometimes, dependent on how close you are with the bride/groom, so gift to the best of your ability. The monetary envelope should be passed to either parent of the bride or groom when you're about to leave the wedding.Gifts or vouchers are almost unheard of in Malay weddings today, but that's acceptable too.

5. You are not expected to arrive at the start of the reception, just come to the venue within the time range that is stated on your invitation card. Do check with the person who invited you on the key timings of what is happening such as the wedding couple's grand appearance.

Image via Mohd Fahmi Mohd Azmi / Flicker

If you want to avoid the crowd and/or get settled before the arrival of the bride and groom, come at least 30 minutes earlier.

6. Also, you are not expected to stay for the entire duration of the reception as some wedding receptions can last until night time

Image via Nazri / nazbliss.com

Malay wedding receptions typically start sometime before lunch time around 11am and conclude around 4pm to 5pm, although some may last until 8pm to 10pm. Guests usually stay on for an average of 2 to 3 hours.

7. Once you've arrived at the venue, look for the entrance arch or the wedding favours table are, as that is where the newlyweds' parents or penyambut tetamu (guest ushers) would be at. Introduce yourself and you will soon find yourself being asked to settle down and eat.

Image via Eiqah Elfreda / Flickr

If you don't recognise the parents, they are usually the ones who are dressed up extra nice and/or busy hosting and welcoming everyone else. You can also try asking around if you can't seem to spot them in the crowd.NOTE: If you want to shake hands or salam, take note that it is considered a no-no to do so with the opposite sex (e.g. a guy shaking the bride/groom's mother's hand) unless they initiate it. More on that here.

8. There really isn't much to do at a Malay wedding except eat, take loads of photos, eat again, and just enjoying yourself!

Image via Catering Expert

Malay wedding receptions usually feature a buffet line with tons of food and desserts at your disposal as well as free seating tables, unless it's a formal dinner with a specific seating plan. Some even have photo booths for guests to take snapshots of the happy occasion and/or karaoke machines for those who'd like to initiate an impromptu singing session.

Image via Eiqah Elfreda / Flickr

Other than that, just sit back and enjoy the show! If you're attending a reception at the bride's, expect to see the groom's grand entrance - accompanied by his entourage and a group of kompang players - as he arrives to "pick up" his wife. It can get pretty goofy too, as the bridal party attempts to prevent the groom from reaching the bride. On the groom's side, there will be a cake-cutting ceremony. If it's a combined reception, then you get the best of both worlds! There may also be silat performances as well as some singing performances.

Image via Nazri / nazbliss.com

9. The newlyweds are not always at the wedding altar as they might be in the wedding reception on the other side of the family, so there is no guarantee that you will get to see them... and that's totally fine!

Image via Shafiq Mohamud Fouzi / Flickr

Malay weddings are usually held for extended periods of time throughout the day or night to accommodate all guests, as some may not be able to attend at certain times but can be present at others. As a result, the bride and groom will not always be at the wedding altar. If they are absent, it usually means they have not arrived (if it is still early into the wedding) or have gone to change their outfits. These arrivals and outfit changes are usually scheduled, so if you’re keen on being at the reception only when the bride and groom are present, make sure to ask the couple for the timings of when they would be at the altar beforehand.

        mariefranceasia.com

10. After you're done with your food and mingling, it's time to call it a day. Seek out the bride and/or groom's parents to congratulate and formally bid them farewell. Before you leave, make sure to salam cangkuk (pass) them money envelope.

Image via Seriously Sarah

What is salam cangkuk, you ask?   It's a method you use to discreetly and respectfully pass them the money envelope. First, you fold the envelope/packet in half, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. When you salam or shake hands with the mother/father of the bride/groom, they will take it discreetly as they thank you for coming.   Just don't hand it to them with just one hand (that's too blatant) although passing it over with two hands is acceptable.   After that, you will be given a wedding favour, such as a bunga telur or a fancy, petite box of chocolates. Sometimes, these wedding favours could be given as door gifts upon your arrival or while you're eating.

[FACT OR FAKE #90] Can You Get Skin Cancer If You Don't Apply Sunscreen Daily?

One of the advantages of having Asian skin, due to the fact that it contains more melanin (an effective absorber of light) than Caucasian skin, is that it burns less easily and is therefore less prone to sun damage and skin cancer. But it can tan more easily and possibly get discoloured.

Image via sevengreyblog.com

However, because Asian skin is less susceptible to getting sunburn, we may not realise the long term danger from being exposed to UV rays. For example, higher risk of skin cancer.

Image via wikimedia.org

While it's proven that sunscreens do help protect our skin from sunburn, what about the evidence for sunscreens protecting us from skin cancer? With Malaysians being exposed to the sun daily, does it really matter whether we use SPF everyday or not?

Image via skymetweather.com

Let's have a look at some of the facts:

1. Many sunscreens DO NOT block Ultraviolet A radiation, which, as the Journal of Investigative Dermatology notes, does not primarily cause sunburn but can increase the rate of melanoma (a type of skin cancer) and photodermatitis (sun poisoning)

Melanoma, as per its Wikipedia entry, is a type of skin cancer which forms from melanocytes (pigment-containing cells in the skin). Particularly common among Caucasians, especially northern Europeans and northwestern Europeans, living in sunny climates, Melanoma is less common than other skin cancers. However, it is much more dangerous if it is not found in the early stages. It causes the majority (75%) of deaths related to skin cancer. Australia and New Zealand have the highest rates of melanoma in the world.Photodermatitis, sometimes referred to as sun poisoning or photoallergy, is a form of allergic contact dermatitis in which the allergen must be activated by light to sensitize the allergic response, and to cause a rash or other systemic effects on subsequent exposure. The second and subsequent exposures produce photoallergic skin conditions which are often eczematous.

2. Use of sunscreen is recommended by medical organisations such as the American Cancer Society because sunscreens aid in the prevention of squamous cell carcinomas (a similar to the kind of skin cancer that affected Hugh Jackman's nose)

Image via instagram.com

3. The use of broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreens can address melanoma and photodermatitis, while a diligent use of sunscreen can also slow the development of wrinkles and sagging skin

Image via telegraph.co.uk

Sunscreens with broad spectrum protection (against UVA and UVB rays) and with sun protection factor (SPF) values of 30 or higher are recommended. Use sunscreen even on hazy days or days with light or broken cloud cover because UV rays still come through.Always follow directions when applying sunscreen. Ideally, a 1-ounce application (about a shot glass or a palmful of sunscreen) is recommended to cover the arms, legs, neck and face of an average adult. Protection is greatest when sunscreen is used thickly on all sun-exposed skin.Sunscreens need to be reapplied at least every 2 hours to maintain protection. Sunscreens can wash off when you sweat or swim and then wipe off with a towel, so they might need to be reapplied more often – be sure to read the label.Some people use sunscreens to stay out in the sun for long periods of time without getting sunburned. Sunscreen should not be used to spend more time in the sun than you otherwise would, as you will still end up with damage to your skin.

        cancer.org

4. While use of sunscreens may help reduce our exposure to UV light and reduce our risk of melanoma, it comes without guarantee

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Besides, if we stay in the sun for a long time, we are at risk of developing skin cancer even if we have put on sunscreen.

5. The cosmetics industry, time and again, has insisted that it had never claimed sunscreens could stop skin cancer

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Dr Chris Flower, director general of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association, said: ‘As cosmetic producers we never talk about cancer in relation to the product - we cannot talk about protecting against or stopping disease."We never recommend that sun care products should be used to stay out in the sun longer, only as part of ‘sun safe’ behaviour, which includes staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, and covering up.We can’t use the term ‘sunblock’ or anything that suggest there is 100 per cent protection. We can’t say total protection, the strongest term we can use is ‘very high’ protection. The first line of defence is to avoid sun, the second is to cover up with a sunhat, T-shirt and trousers, and the third line of defence is to use a sunscreen."

        dailymail.co.uk

FACT: In conclusion, while sunscreens may not prevent skin cancer, if not used daily, our skin is more susceptible to cancer. Therefore, not using sunscreen daily can cause skin cancer.

The Skin Cancer Foundation advises everyone follow its comprehensive prevention guidelines, which recommend wearing sunscreen, along with practicing other sun safety habits.We tend to think we are invincible when we apply sunscreen onto our body every two hours in its highest SPF form, but the longer we’re out in the sun, the more we’re increasing our UV ray exposure.Wearing a hat, loose-fitting clothing, and seeking shade when the sun is at its highest point are some tips to keep in mind, and can help decrease the 3.5 million skin cancers cases diagnosed annually.

        medicaldaily.com

A diligent, everyday use of sunscreen can also slow or temporarily prevent the development of wrinkles and sagging skin. In the end, here's a song about sunscreen. It has no direct correlation to wearing sunscreen, but it does dispenses sound life advice. Enjoy!

Pokémon GO Haram? JAKIM Dipertikai Dan Dibandingkan Dengan Badan Mualaf Singapura

Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan Datuk Dr Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri berkata, karakter Pokemon dan aplikasi permainan Pokemon Go tidak dibenarkan untuk umat Islam atas faktor ‘maslahah’ dan kemudaratan

Image via www.saferinternet.org.uk

Kenyataan itu dilaporkan oleh Harian Metro dua hari lalu.Dalam satu kenyataan lain beliau berkata keputusan itu dicapai dalam mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Perundingan Hukum Syarak Wilayah Persekutuan pada 1 Ogos lalu.

"Setelah meneliti pendapat ulama dan fatwa yang dikeluarkan, kami berpendapat, fatwa yang dikemukakan ada asasnya dan perlu dijauhkan permainan Pokemon Go dan Pokemon itu sendiri jika permainan ini membawa kepada mudarat."“Di samping itu, mengiyakan kuasa dan dewa tertentu yang mempunyai kuasa dan ditambah boleh membawa kepada perjudian, maka kami berpendapat hujah yang dikemukakan tentang hukum bermain Pokemon sebagai haram mempunyai asas yang kuat," katanya.

Menurutnya lagi, aplikasi tersebut boleh menyebabkan berlaku-pengintipan pihak luar, pencerobohan ruang peribadi, faktor keselamatan seperti kemalangan, kelalaian dan sebagainya.

Kenyataan itu disokong oleh Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) apabila perkara itu dimaklumkan oleh Ketua Pengarah Jakim, Dato' Hj Othman Bin Mustapha, menerusi Facebook beliau semalam

ISU PERMAINAN POKEMON GOJakim menyokong keputusan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Perundingan Hukum Syarak Wilayah Persekutuan pada 1 Ogos 2016 yang tidak membenarkan umat Islam melibatkan diri dengan aplikasi permainan Pokemon Go atas pelbagai faktor termasuk membawa kepada kemudaratan.Keputusan tersebut adalah selari dengan pandangan hukum oleh negara-negara Islam lain yang telah membuktikan permainan Pokemon Go ini menjadi penyebab insiden yang membahayakan sehingga meragut nyawa. Permainan ini juga nyata mendatangkan kesan yang negatif kepada golongan kanak-kanak dan remaja.Justeru, Jakim menyeru umat Islam di negara ini agar menghindarkan diri dari permainan Pokemon Go ini. Saranan ini juga selaras dengan kaedah syarak Saddu Al-Zara'i (سدُّ الذرائع) di mana kita perlu mencegah atau menyekat jalan yang boleh membawa kepada kerosakan dan kemudharatan kepada diri kita.SekianTAN SRI DATO' HAJI OTHMAN BIN MUSTAPHA 7 Ogos 2016

Malah, ada juga yang membandingkan keputusan JAKIM dengan badan Mualaf di Singapura yang khabarnya menggunakan aplikasi tersebut sebagai alat untuk berdakwah

Di Singapura, satu badan dakwah mualaf bernama Muslim Converts' Association of Singapore - Darul Arqam Singapore dikatakan menjadikan alat tersebut sebagai medium dakwah. Ini kerana kawasan bangunan mereka adalah merupakan salah satu PokéStop.

"Rail My Life" – KTM's Free Ride Poster Leaves Netizens In Tears

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

On Wednesday, 15 February, the Transport Ministry and Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) launched the MyRailLife campaign, offering free-ride passes to disabled people and school students

KTMB also released a poster to promote MyRailLife, which was quickly shared by Malaysians on social media.The company detailed the campaign in their poster, stating that MyRailLife will begin on 15 February and that free rides will be provided for their Eastern Shuttle, Klang Valley Sector Commuter, and North Sector Commuter.However, when it comes to their logo, many Malaysians read it as RailMyLife rather than MyRailLife.

Image via eCENTRAL

Netizens were amused by the logo and the poster went viral on Twitter

One Twitter user, @mikhailhanafi, shared the poster on his Twitter account, pointing out that the logo does not read well."I wanna meet the copywriters who work for the government. There has to be some Gen-Z intern there who intentionally did this."Rail My Life. He's laughing in the back cubicle of the office as we speak," he wrote.

Image via @mikhailhanafi (Twitter)

Another user speculated that the logo was most likely created as a joke, but it was still chosen as the final design.

Image via Twitter

"Anyone who sees this poster for the first time would definitely read it as rail my life," wrote another.

Image via Twitter

"A copywriter definitely worked together with a designer to create this masterpiece because there is no way 'MyRailLife' would be accidentally designed to be read as 'RailMyLife'," another commented.

Hygiene In A Seremban Hospital Questioned After A Rat Was Filmed Roaming Children's Ward

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

Videos of a rat scurrying around what is reportedly the children's ward in a Seremban Hospital have gone viral, sparking concerns about the sanitary conditions in government health facilities

One of the videos, which is 12 seconds long, shows a rat hiding underneath a hospital bed where a child was sleeping. The other video catches the rat trying to climb up a hospital bed before scurrying away.According to Dayana, the netizen who uploaded the videos on TikTok and Twitter on Sunday, 13 March, they were recorded when her sister was at the hospital with her child. The child was admitted because of COVID-19. In a tweet, she said it was saddening to see the condition of the government hospital.She said that a patient there had even screamed in fear of the rat. However, no action was taken despite reporting the incident to a nurse.

Image via @dynbby (Twitter)

She went on to say that some netizens have criticised her for expecting a nurse to catch the rat

"Don't be manipulative and say things like 'Poor nurse, even catching rats is part of the job'," tweeted Dayana."Nobody is asking the nurse to catch the rat. We're just asking for help to report the matter to the management."She added that not all government hospitals have hygiene issues as bad as the one seen in the videos. There are those that are very clean and the nurses are friendly with the patients.However, she said there are also managements that consider the patients poor because they don't have to pay much at a government hospital, so they don't deserve good treatment."Government hospitals don't need to be luxurious. Clean and comfortable is enough. Cleanliness comes first," she wrote.

Image via @dynbby (Twitter)

Health authorities are now probing the incident and said immediate measures will be taken to address it

Negeri Sembilan state health exco Veerapan Superamaniam said it was unacceptable to have pests in wards and has also asked for information from the health authorities how often pest control measures were carried out at these hospitals, reported The Star."This is a serious matter and I have already asked the state health director for a report," he added.He said the matter needs to be addressed urgently as it could give rise to other problems."As of now, we still have no idea which hospital the incident took place in. We are investigating," he said.Based on the viral Twitter post, the rat was allegedly spotted in the COVID-19 ward for women and children at Tunku Jaafar Seremban Hospital.

This Ice-Cream Changes Colour When You Lick It. Here's How

A 37-year old Spanish scientist has created an ice-cream that changes colour once you lick it

Image via kinja-img.com

37-year-old Spanish physicist and electronic engineer-cum-chef and ice cream master Manuel Linares has invented an ice cream that changes color.

        gizmodo.com

What happens when a physicist decides to become a chef? If they're anything like Manuel Linares, then you can expect a fusion of food and science to come out of their kitchen. For instance, one of the Spaniard's masterpieces is an ice cream that changes colors when you lick it.

        engadget.com

The ice cream is called Xamaleón and is made from all natural ingredients

Image via aolcdn.com

The formula is a patent-pending secret but he claims it's "entirely made with natural ingredients." He calls it Xamaleón.

        gizmodo.com

Here’s the kicker: this confectionery concoction is all natural (and not in the radioactive isotope way), and it doesn’t involved any cows that have been modified with chameleon DNA despite the fact that creator Manuel Linares did choose to call his mystical color-changing ice cream Xamaleón.

        geek.com

But the 37-year-old Spaniard studied physics and engineering at university before deciding to become a cook, and has created the new ice cream, called "Xamaleon", meaning "chameleon".

        mirror.co.uk

The ice cream he created, which he says tastes like tutti-frutti, includes strawberries, cocoa, almonds, banana, pistachio, vanilla and caramel, and is so popular that business at his ice cream parlour in the town of Calella de Mar, in the east Spanish province of Barcelona, is booming.

        mirror.co.uk

The colour of the ice-cream will turn from blue to pink and Manuel Linares has been extremely secretive of his recipe

Image via kinja-img.com

This mixture reacts to changes in temperature and saliva, causing the tutti-frutti-flavored ice cream to turn into purple, then into pink as you lick

        engadget.com

×

It goes from a periwinkle blue to pink and purple as you lick it.

        geek.com

Linares, a 37-year-old physicist with an obvious affinity for cutting-edge cuisine, is understandably protective of his secret recipe. While he won’t disclose exactly what it is that makes the ice cream change color, he did tell Diai de Girona (translated) that the magic isn’t all in the ice cream itself. A special concoction he refers to as “love elixir” gets spritzed on the ice cream after it’s scooped and it helps accelerate the reaction.

        geek.com

Linares is currently working on other recipes such as ice-cream that reacts to ultra violet light in clubs

He's now working on another two weird ice creams that reacts to the ultraviolet lights in clubs and another one that turns from completely white to pink on its own.

        gizmodo.com

As unusual as it sounds, this is just the beginning of Linares' foray into the color-changing ice cream business: he also plans to whip up ice cream that turns from white to pink, and another one that glows under ultraviolet light.

        engadget.com

Doesn't this remind you of the old Hot Wheels Colour Shifter toy cars?

#Bajet2017: If You Are Poor, PM Najib Wants You To Drive Uber

Today, 21 October, while tabling the 2017 Budget in the Dewan Rakyat, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has urged poor Malaysians to become ride-sharing taxi drivers, such as Uber

He recommended Malaysians, especially those in the B40 (Bottom 40) income group, who had their own vehicles to get into the ride-sharing service to earn extra income."To assist the B40 group, especially BR1M (Bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia) recipients, to generate additional income, the government will encourage their participation as ride-sharing drivers such as Uber drivers, particularly those who own vehicles," PM cum Finance Minister Najib said while tabling Budget 2017 in Parliament today.

He emphasised how it could help them make extra money

"Their income could reach up to RM1,500 per month for part-time drivers working between 10 to 40 hours per week and RM4,300 if more than 40 hours per week."

And in a move that's probably going to create more tension among  existing taxi drivers, who have complained that ride-sharing drivers have hurt their income, Najib also announced measures to help the poor Malaysians who do not own vehicles to become Uber drivers

Those without vehicles will be supported by Putrajaya to purchase their own vehicle."To those who do not own a vehicle, down payment will be made using BR1M and a rebate of RM4,000 will be provided for the purchase of Proton Iriz," PM Najib said.

Image via Malaysiakini

However, in a budget that's full of goodies, PM Najib Razak also announced special measures to help the taxi drivers

He set aside RM60 million for their welfare, which is expected to benefit 12,000 qualified taxi drivers who have ended their leasing contract with taxi companies.While announcing a grant of RM5,000 to taxi drivers to purchase new vehicles and obtain individual taxi permits, he also announced an insurance scheme for them."The government will introduce Social Security Organisation (Socso) scheme to individual taxi drivers with a monthly income up to RM3,000, with a launching grant of RM60 million. Under this scheme, the taxi drivers are required to contribute between RM157 and RM443 per annum, which is only RM13.08 per month. Should an accident occur while working, they are eligible to claim from Socso," Najib added.

What do you think about PM Najib's move?


7-Eleven Apologises For Customer's Viral 'Scamwich'

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

A Malaysian TikTok user was shocked to find that a 7-Eleven sandwich she bought had only two small slices of ham, despite it being called a "double chicken sandwich"

In the nine-second video, content creator Eycah shows the sandwich to the camera, and the chicken slices can be clearly seen from the front of the transparent packaging.However, when she opens up the sandwich to reveal its fillings, it is found that the chicken slices are only a few centimetres in length and are strategically placed only at the front of the packaging.The chicken slices are also folded in half to make the sandwich appear 'fuller'.The bread is only lightly dabbed with sauce, and there are only two pieces of lettuce.

At the time of writing, the video has garnered over 1.7 million views and 123,000 likes

Thousands of netizens were horrified by the scarcely stuffed chicken sandwich, with some netizens calling it a "scamwich"."Oh nuh-uh, friend. You need a refill for that scamwich," read a top comment."Now, (this is) the reason...why [the] packaging [is] not (fully) transparent," wrote a TikTok user."7-Eleven Malaysia, why? We need clarification on this!" exclaimed one person, while another added, "7-Eleven Malaysia, what is this?"

Image via TikTok

When SAYS reached out to the convenience store company for comment, they said they will take full responsibility for the issue."We apologise for this issue and [will] take full responsibility. There was an oversight by our commissary partner and we have resolved it immediately. We put our customers' satisfaction as our priority," they said in a statement.

Eycah told SAYS that she paid about RM7 for the sandwich

She bought the sandwich at a 7-Eleven outlet in Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, Kuala Lumpur, on 24 September."I didn't think a double chicken sandwich from 7-Eleven would be like that. Because when I bought it at other outlets, it was not like this. And I trusted 7-Eleven," she lamented."I was tired from the bus ride. I just got back from Pulau Perhentian and was hungry. There were many other outlets that sold sandwiches, but I saw 7-Eleven. And we know the reviews of 7-Elevens are good. So I just took the sandwich without checking."

The video of the 'scamwich' can be found below:
